Jason Derulo wowed viewers at the "42nd People's Choice Awards" with a high-energy performance that featured Clay Paky Scenius moving head spotlights as the main effects lights for the dynamic singer/dancer. A.C.T Lighting, Inc. is the exclusive distributor of Clay Paky fixtures in North America.
Honoring the best in popular culture for 2015, the "People's Choice Awards" were held January 6, 2016 at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles and broadcast live on CBS. Emmy-winner Allen Branton was the show's lighting designer; Felix Peralta, Kevin Lawson and Darren Langer were the lighting directors.
A.C.T Lighting gave the team the opportunity to demo Scenius fixtures prior to the show, and they felt the new lights would work well with Derulo's medley of "Get Ugly" and "Want to Want Me" performed with a complement of backup dancers. The deployment marked one of the first uses of Scenius in the US.
"Scenius is a very, very bright hard-edged light," says Felix Peralta. "We liked the gobo selections and its great animation wheel. And we were very impressed with how fast the zoom parameters go from fully wide open to very tight."
Scenius is the new moving head spotlight at the top of the Clay Paky range. Its advanced optical unit and the new 1400W OSRAM discharge lamp provide a much higher light output than with previous generation 1500W lamps. Thanks to its wide 8°-50° zoom, Scenius is ideal for every use.
The fixture produces a 6500 K output color temperature that does not vary over time; Scenius also can count on a very high CRI, which is extremely unusual for a metal halide light source. Its colors cover a broad spectrum with even pastel shades.
Scenius offers top-rated special effects with two rotating gobo wheels, each with six interchangeable gobos, a rotating prism and an interchangeable graphics wheel for spectacular new effects. The fixture can also be used in wash mode by inserting a new design of frost filter.
"We positioned six Scenius fixtures upstage on carts where they gave a big light that blew through the band upstage to downstage," Peralta explains. "During Jason's medley we featured Scenius's unique gobos and animation wheel. We also played with the zoom function throughout his performance. That gave a look that resembled big breaths of light, almost fluid pops of light. Everyone was thrilled with the results."
Peralta and Lawson programmed the show on a grandMA2 Light with fader wing, a configuration the lighting directors "prefer for TV," Peralta says. A.C.T Lighting is also the exclusive distributor of MA Lighting products in North America.
While Scenius is new to the US, Peralta believes the fixture has a very promising future. "It's a great musical light – tours and award shows will love it," he declares. "It's got a lot of punch and a lot of features. Scenius is more versatile than many of the hard-edged lights on the market today."
About A.C.T Lighting
A leading importer and distributor of lighting products, A.C.T Lighting, Inc. strives to identify future trends and cutting-edge products, and stock, sell and support their inventory. The company provides superior customer service and value for money to all of its clients.

The League of Outstanding Gentlemen of the Yellow Ball is a two-month private soccer championship featuring old celebrities. Far from everyone knows that it is not an ordinary championship but a cricket league with a billion dollars turnover. Inspired by the North American model, India is actively developing a highly profitable sports market, with cricket acting as a kind of sports.
India is the second most populated country in the world and the undisputed leader in some areas, such as computer science. Although it can serve as an example in many ways, it still cannot manage to cope with the lag in certain areas. For example, India hardly holds a prominent place in world sports: in the entire history of the Olympic Games, it has only one gold medal in its individual classification. However, a few years ago, everything began to change. To find some reviews of different types of gambling all over the world just こちら (which means click here). Along with other interesting sports betting options on the NativeCasinos website you will be pleased to try something new. The platform contains a lot of useful information for gambling enthusiasts. If you cannot find a casino or do not know how to play a particular casino game, you will find all the answers on NativeCasinos.
Cricket in India
First of all, we need to say a few words about cricket. It was first brought by English colonists in the 18th century, and today, it occupies a central place in the press and the life of the local population. This sport, mostly unknown in France, makes the hearts of all Indians tremble. After winning the World Cup in 1983, cricket became a real business in India. And since the number of potential consumers is approaching a billion, this could not leave a number of large companies indifferent to it. So in 2008, the national championship was completely rebuilt in order to rekindle the interest of the audience and fulfill several economic and commercial tasks.
Money, Celebrities and Circuses
The new championship was created on the initiative of the Vice President of the Supervisory Board of Cricket of India Lalita Modi and quickly made a turn towards entertainment. The Indian Premier League is based on a simplified form of the game and an innovative system. The maximum meeting time was limited to three hours, which is much better for a television broadcast format. As a result, the new league quickly managed to attract the attention of television channels.
In 2008, the first eight league clubs were acquired by local companies as well as Indian movie celebrities. For example, Reliance Industries Oil Corporation got the Mumbai Indian bombing team for $111.9 million, which is a record for its time. The sale of eight teams brought the organizers a total of $723.59 million.
Six years have passed since then, and today the Premier League is considered the greatest achievement of Indian sports. Competitions last only seven weeks a year (for the most part matches take place in April), in connection with which the Indian organization ranks second in the world in terms of weekly wages after the American NBA. In 2013, the most famous sportsman of Chennai Super Kings Mahendra Singh Dhoni took the 16th place in the list of the highest-paid athletes with annual earnings of $3.5 million and big advertising contracts with companies such as Pepsi and Sony.
Profit from Cricket
The formed system of private leagues allows the owners of sports clubs to follow the path of maximizing income like real businessmen. As in the United States, auction and drafting systems at the beginning of the season keep the balance in the competition and thereby warm the audience's interest.
Although the desire to earn money plays an indisputable role in all this, it does not negate the long-term benefits for the country in terms of sports because clubs will develop and they will have to invest in training athletes and infrastructure. Considering that India already has some excellent stadiums (for example, the Salt Lake Stadium in Calcutta for 120 thousand spectators), it definitely has a great sports future.

Wintry Literature For A Snowy Day
MICHELE NORRIS, host:
For those of us living in Washington this past week, we have found ourselves running out of words to describe the endless snow that's blanketed the city. It seems epic, at least to those of us in this part of the country, more the stuff of literature and legend than real life.
And while so many of us are still trudging through back-to-back blizzards, we thought we could find comfort in looking to literature, where the snow doesn't have to be plowed or shoveled. It just has to be enjoyed. In the hands of a good storyteller, snow can be magical or monstrous.
How many of us remember Laura Ingalls Wilder's terrifying description in her novel "The Long Winter?" It's based on her own childhood growing up on the prairie.
(Soundbite of music)
Unidentified Woman #1: (Reading) Laura felt they were going in the wrong direction. She did not know why she felt so. No one could see anything. There was nothing to go by, no sun, no sky, no direction, the winds blowing fiercely from all directions. There was nothing but the dizzy whirling and the cold.
It seemed that the cold and the winds and the noise of the winds and the blinding, smothering, scratching snow and the effort and the aching were forever. Pa had lived through three days of a blizzard under the bank of Plum Creek, but there were no creek banks here. Here, there was nothing but bare prairies. Pa had told about sheep caught in a blizzard, huddled together under the snow. Some of them had lived. Perhaps people could do that, too.
NORRIS: In the hands of writers, really good writers, snow can be in soft focus from sharply crystallized, as it is in the description from this bestselling thriller, "Smilla's Sense of Snow" by the Danish writer Peter Hoeg.
Unidentified Woman #2: (Reading) At first, the snow is six-sided, newly formed flakes. After 48 hours, the flakes break down. Their outlines blur. By the 10th day, the snow is a grainy crystal that becomes compacted after two months. After two years, it enters the transitional stage between snow and fern. After four years, it's transformed into a large, blocky, glacial crystal.
It wouldn't survive more than three years here on Gela Alta. By that time, the glacier would push it out to sea. There, it would break up and float outward to melt, disperse and be absorbed by the sea, and then someday it would rise up as newly formed snow. You can't win against the ice.
(Soundbite of music)
NORRIS: In the classic novel "Native Son" by Richard Wright, snow serves as a metaphor for bigger Thomas' mounting troubles and the ugliness of his plight.
Unidentified Man: (Reading) He walked to Dalton's through the snow. His right hand was in his coat pocket, his fingers about the kidnap note. When he reached the driveway, he looked about the street carefully. There was no one. He looked at the house. It was huge, white, silent.
He walked up the steps and stood in front of the door. He waited a moment to see what would happen. So deeply conscious was he of violating a dangerous taboo that he felt the very air or sky would suddenly speak, commanding him to stop. He was failing fast in the face of a cold wind that all but sucked his breath from him, but he liked it.
Around him were silence and night and snow falling, falling as though it had fallen from the beginning of time and would always fall till the end of the world.
(Soundbite of music)
NORRIS: And finally, sometimes literary snow is simply beautiful, hauntingly beautiful. Here's Robert Frost reading from his classic "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening."
Mr. ROBERT FROST (Poet): (Reading) Whose woods these are I think I know. His house is in the village, though. He will not see me stopping here to watch his woods fill up with snow. My little horse must think it queer to stop without a farmhouse near between the woods and frozen lake, the darkest evening of the year. He gives his harness bells a shake to ask if there is some mistake. The only other sounds, the sweep of easy wind and downy flake. The woods are lovely, dark and deep. But I have promises to keep and miles to go before I sleep, and miles to go before I sleep.

Gadgets Namibia embarks on 1Namibia1Computer initiative
Staff Reporter WINDHOEK - In conjunction with international computer corporations, Gadgets Namibia has embarked on an initiative to provide those in the lower income bracket with affordable access to laptops. Called the 1Namibia1Computer, the initiative will enable students, as well as the working class and any other low-income earner in the country to procure quality, refurbished, affordable laptops. According to the Operations Manager at Gadgets Namibia, Zombe Silungwe, this initiative is in alignment with government's Harambe Prosperity Plan, which strives to ensure "that no Namibian must feel left out". The laptops include top international brands, such as HP, Dell, Lenovo, and Toshiba, and have gone through a three step European certification process, so as to ensure usability. "In addition, as part of our social responsibility, we will identify a couple of schools in rural areas, subsequently setting up computer lab networks with a 'Connect Device', which essentially acts as a server, preloaded with learning material based on the Namibia curriculum and other learning content. The students will be able to access the content within a specified parameter without accessing the internet. The labs will be set up free of charge as part of Gadgets' social corporate responsibility. Furthermore, these labs will allow learners to have access to a wide range of databases, inclusive of information, which will improve their knowledge and academic performance," Silungwe explained.

Uncharted 3's UK Release Date Leaps Forward a Few Days
Subtypes: News
Anyone in the UK who hates getting games days, sometimes even weeks, after their North American counterparts will rejoice upon hearing Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception will arrive in stores sooner than previously expected -- on Wednesday, Nov. 2, 2011, one day after the NA release.
Normally, games are released on Fridays in the UK. An exception has been made for UC3, the third installment of the acclaimed third-person action series. While the half-a-week bump forward may seem unsubstantial to some, to diehard Uncharted fans, it makes all the difference.
Recently, Naughty Dog, developer of the Uncharted series, has held a UC3 multiplayer beta for all Playstation Network users with PSN+ (which is just about everyone after the Welcome Back program) or those with vouchers that came with copies of Infamous 2. The beta gives those who download it off PSN a chance to play cooperative and competitive modes that will be in the final game. A similar beta was held for Uncharted 2: Among Thieves' multiplayer mode before its release.

Israel warned on Tuesday that it would block a fleet of nine ships carrying some 700 international pro—Palestinian activists and supplies from reaching the Gaza Strip later this week.
The Freedom Flotilla, organised by the group Free Gaza, is the largest of its kind since Israel and Egypt began their blockade of the Gaza Strip in reaction to the 2007 takeover of the salient's operation by the Islamist Hamas party.
The blockade has been the source of much international condemnation. Israel argues it is necessary to keep violent elements in the Gaza Strip from rearming themselves with the tools to shoot rockets into Israel.
But the organisers of this year's protest say they are trying to bring humanitarian goods to the Gaza Strip. Israeli authorities have urged them to bring their goods to the salient via a pre—approved border crossing. Organisers have said no such offer has been made.
Israeli media reported authorities saying the ships — which are sailing from diverse ports in Ireland, Greece and Turkey and are expected on Thursday — would be boarded before they could reach Gaza.
Any activists on board would be arrested.
"Ships that make their own way to Gaza don't do anything to help the people there," said Yigal Palmor, a spokesman for the Israeli Foreign Ministry.
A similar, but smaller, action was prevented by Israeli authorities a year ago. Five others have made it to Gaza in recent years.
Mr. Palmor said Free Gaza is "less interested in bringing help, than with advancing their radical agenda, which plays into the hands of Hamas." This year's flotilla is populated by a wide range of people, including politicians and artists, many of Palestinian descent.

After six years, five cohorts and graduating 79 students, a pioneering Architecture programme, which was developed to transform the industry, has successfully concluded.
The Open Architecture – Cape Peninsula University of Technology (OA-CPUT) collaboration on the BTech: Architectural Technology course was a first of its kind in Africa, and is one of only six programmes worldwide (including the USA, Canada, Africa and Australia) to offer architectural design education online.
The innovative blended learning model enabled working students to do studio-based learning in an online environment with the support of office-based mentors, lecturers and student peers, with occasional scheduled on-campus block sessions.
Online critique sessions often continued despite the challenges of load shedding and venue challenges during the fees crisis.
Department of Architectural Technology & Interior Design Senior Lecturer Jolanda Morkel praised the dedication of the students and staff involved.
"This programme is a testimony of passion, dedication and perseverance of people. A group of people believed in making the impossible possible. This marks the culmination of a decade's work from CPUT's side," said Morkel.
Open Architecture Programme Director, Prof Lone Poulsen, said the programme was trailblazing in that it attempted to transform the Architecture industry in a digitally savvy way that accommodated diverse student needs, and that it has helped shift the mindset that architectural learning can only happen in a physical studio.
CPUT is currently phasing out the BTech Architectural Technology degree in accordance with the new HEQSF structure. In 2020 this alternative model will become the norm, with the implementation of a new two-year blended Advanced Diploma, drawing on the lessons learnt.

The Mobile Editing Workflow of World-Renowned Photojournalist Ed Kashi.
Ed Kashi is a photojournalist dedicated to documenting the social and political issues that define our times. His sensitive eye and an intimate relationship to his subjects are signatures of his work. As a member of VII Photo Agency, Kashi has been recognized for his complex imagery and its compelling rendering of the human condition. In addition to editorial assignments, filmmaking and personal projects, Kashi is an educator who instructs and mentors students of photography, participates in forums and lectures on photojournalism, documentary photography and multimedia storytelling.
In Ed's class, Storytelling with Mobile Photography he covers the power of your mobile phone to create powerful visual stories. Watching this you'll learn,
– How to develop a story, approach people, and get the best images
– How to develop observational skills, and apply them to your pre-planned story
– How to make money selling your smartphone images
We sat down with Ed and asked him to share a sneak peak into what his mobile editing workflow is like.
Ed Kashi: I shoot on the Procamera app or the iPhone camera and then I usually put it into Snapseed. Then I'll do, you know, basic burning and dodging, clarity, saturation, and sometimes turn it to black and white. Then to post it goes to instagram and link that to my twitter and Facebook feeds.
Sometimes I'll also work on it in snapseed knowing I'm going to do one last move in instagram because I love the clarity button in instagram. I don't want to use a lot of tools though. You know there are so many other apps, but I want one or two tools in my toolkit and work with those and master those. I just don't have the time. I want to spend the time getting stories, on getting access, on learning my subjects, and figuring out the narrative.
CreativeLive: Do you feel like your style is conveyed more through how you shoot rather than the way you edit?
Ed: Yes and no. I mean if you look at my images on Instagram compared my images elsewhere, they're a bit more processed for Instagram. So there is a look there because I realize on Instagram it's being seen on a relatively small canvas and doesn't get a long shelf life so it needs to pop a little more.
CL: With platforms like Instagram primarily being viewed on your phone, are you able a little more loose to push editing without loss of image quality?
Ed: You know, I don't really think about it because I'm always trying to get great image quality. I don't work and create for the phone as a platform itself. I mean, half of what I do now is shooting film or video for broadcast or theatre, even though a lot of the time it's going to end up in a digital format on someone's mobile device or tablet.
CL: For people who want to learn mobile photography and use it as a storytelling device, what kind of thing should they be looking for? Emotion? Action?
Ed: That really depends. It really comes down to what interests you. You can't go looking for "emotion" or "action". If love shooting skateboarders for instance, you're probably going to be looking for action. If you were shooting cancer patients, it would be drama and emotion.
In that way it's often the subject that dictates what I'm looking for. For me, I love intimacy and especially candid intimacy.

What he SHOULD have done is humbled himself and got with a team that was already in contention like San Antonio for instance where he could just give them a little something something when they need it. imagine if you will the last 8 minutes of a game with duncan, ginnobli, paker, mason, jefferson and ai... who you gonna check? but he can't do that cause he needs to get his shots and he still thinks he's still a f'n all star.
a.i. will go down for me as one of the greatest scorers of all time - especially for his size and he was a joy to watch.. but the cat just never 'got it' from the 'practice?" rant till now.

text: ThermalStrike Heated Luggage Review: The Traveling Bed Bug Killer MM Novato Reviews Arguably the most common way people get bed bugs is by bringing them into the house from somewhere else through their personal belongings. Bed bugs are expert hitchhikers. They'll often tuck into your luggage as you travel from your hotel to the airport and finally to your home. That's why ThermalStrike designed their new ThermalStrike Heated Luggage set. Built-in infrared panels generate enough heat to kill any bed bugs hiding inside. Are these bed bug proof travel game-changers, or just bed bug gimmicks? Let's take a closer look and find out: Design and Features ThermalStrike Heated Luggage comes in two sizes: a 20-inch carry-on and a 24-inch upright checked suitcase. The 20-inch model measures 20″x13″x9″, slightly smaller than the typical 20- or 21-inch carry-on. Still, it's a good size for a weekend getaway or short business trip. The 24-inch upright scales up to 24″x16″x10″ and serves as a smart way to check extra gear for longer trips. Both sizes have the same hard-bodied design featuring polycarbonate outer shells and reinforced corner guards. It's a sturdy construction formula that should have no problem holding up to years of stowing and bumpy baggage handling. The telescopic aluminum handle and gyroscopic wheels make the luggage ergonomic and easy to tote around the airport, even when they're completely full. The built-in lock features a TSA-approved key and combination switch. We've seen similar designs work well on high-end luggage, as it's easy to secure the zipper sliders and release them with the push of a button. It's easy to use and it works. What's not to like? Heating to Treat Luggage ThermalStrike Heated Luggage work with infrared panels built into the rear housing of the body. If we lay the luggage flat on a hard surface and plug in the included cable with its built-in timer, the panels will start generating heat that will radiate heat through all the luggage's contents from the bottom up. A temperature sensor is stitched in under the interior pocket flap. That sensor will track the heat as it rises up to 140 degrees, more than enough to kill any bed bugs hiding inside the suitcase. All the integrated heating and safety devices are FAA and TSA compliant. Nobody should have trouble getting through security due to this luggage. We recommend running the ThermalStrike Heated Luggage's heating function twice per trip. Plug it in for a cook-off the night before your returning flight while you sleep. Once you're home safe and sound, plug the luggage in again for another round. This is to make sure that no bed bugs make it from the hotel to the airport, and that no bed bugs make it from the airport to your home. While the included timer has settings for two, four, or eight hours, I'd set it to eight hours each time I use it. We want to give the heating panels enough time to fully heat up every item in the luggage. Some insulated materials will take a while to completely hit that 120-degree temperature that we're looking for. Any cold spots serve as a potential safe haven for bed bugs to survive the treatment. We also want to make sure that the luggage is on a hard, flat surface each time we plug it in. Think desks, countertops, or coffee tables, not the bed or hotel luggage rack. Are you a frequent flyer that's worried about bringing bed bugs home from your trips? Someone who's had bed bugs before and will do anything to prevent getting them again? Or are you just someone looking to upgrade your luggage and would like a little peace of mind to come with it? If you fit any of these profiles, you need to take a look at the ThermalStrike Heated Luggage. ThermalStrike Heated Luggage Traveling Bed Bug Heater Treat your belongings – without unpacking. ThermalStrike Heated Luggage is the world's only luggage that kills bed bugs. Starting at: $249.00 Shop Now MM Novato MM Novato [email protected] Administrator Bed Bug Blog

Against much opposition he advocated the benefits of marl and proved its value. His arguments were propounded in An Essay on Calcareous Manures (1832, 5th rev. ed. 1852). He founded (1833) and edited until 1842 an excellent agricultural publication, the Farmers' Register. An ardent supporter of states' rights and secession, he left Virginia for the more congenial political milieu of South Carolina, where on Apr. 12, 1861, he was given the privilege of firing the first shot against Fort Sumter. With the surrender of Robert E. Lee at Appomattox he committed suicide.

Original Question: Do cats meow more as they age? - Keith
Hi Keith,
Thanks for your question.
Every once in a while I get a question that I really enjoy. This is one of them.
I have an overwhelming inclination to say no, cats do not meow more as they age. My instinct is to look beyond the question and try to speculate what may be happening with your cat to cause you to ask this question. You are likely asking it because your cat is reaching a geriatric age or advancing in age and you've noticed that they are vocalizing more. To reconsider my answer, I will say that cats can end up vocalizing more as they age but there are causes for this. Not every cat will vocalize more simply because they are older, however, there are common conditions that older cats develop that will cause increased vocalization.
Here is a list of possibilities that I can offer.
I hope this helps.
Dr. Clayton Greenway

I've got my Collings MT-2 for sale on the Cafe. It's the first time I've considered selling an instrument other than in person. I've been tremendously surprised at how expensive shipping is, especially with the insurance offered for a $3000 instrument, and would appreciate any advice from individuals who've shipped instruments.
The most recent posts I could find date back about five years. Can anyone offer advice based on recent experience?
Many thanks in advance!

Recently I discovered a reason you may not get a job is because of your email title. Without listing all of it, part of my title for business was ROGUE, named after a game I once played with that title. But in English it means some type of dashing, mischievous person or a dishonest person or even a wild, out-of-control animal. Guess I know why some places do not hire me now!
So I had to create a new professional one, had a few sites for job-related stuff like searching and advice I transferred to it.
But next I had to deal with my personal account, originally Netscape but now owned by AOL. Recently anything I delete went to the Deleted Items folder then if I empty it, it would all disappear only to come back! I discovered that Windows Mail and now Live Mail send stuff to Deleted Items but AOL accounts use Trash. So what happens is when I dump the Deleted Items, they go to Trash where they get copied and sent back to Deleted Items.
Not wanting this, my former work email is now going to be personal and then I will get rid of the Netscape/AOL forever.
But now I find out how many places I have registered to over the years. Some of these accounts just have to go, there are too many to keep up with. And with how many there are, this may take a few days. I cannot believe how many places I am registered to but have not been to in so long.

To be honest, I have been absolutely amazed at how Esme Loans have dealt with me. People with a less than perfect credit rating are obviously going to be their main customers. Through circumstance I found myself in that position, less than perfect, but even when I was 'perfect', I didn't get the ease and helpfulness from high street banks, that I got from Esme. That speaks for itself in my opinion. I would recommend this company to anyone who may be less than perfect! That's everyone in the human race then! Thank you.

Very easy, very good experience, speedy service. Treat people with low credit ratings with dignity and not like they have a disease! They appreciate that a low credit rating can be circumstantial and not necessarily a reflection of future conduct. Only reservation is interest rate very high but I guess understandable. I'll just have to pay it off quicker!

Summary Sentence: Combustion of Aluminum Under High Strain Rate Conditions

Title: Combustion of Aluminum Under High Strain Rate Conditions
Abstract: This work focuses on the understanding of impact-initiated combustion of aluminum powder compacts. Aluminum is typically one of the components of intermetallic-forming structural energetic materials, such as Al+Ni, Al+Ta, and Al +W. Intermetallic-forming structural energetic materials (SEMs) are highly desirable for several applications due to their rapid energy release characteristics and mechanical properties. In order to better understand the process of reaction initiation in intermetallic-forming SEMs, this work focuses on the understanding of impact-initiated combustion of compacts of one of the intermetallic-forming SEM constituents, aluminum powders. Aluminum powders of various sizes and different levels of mechanical pre-activation are investigated to determine their reactivity under uniaxial stress rod-on-anvil impact conditions, using a 7.62 mm gas gun. The compacts reveal light emission due to combustion upon impact at velocities greater than 170 m/s. Particle size and the level of mechanical pre-activation influence combustion initiation on the particle-level by controlling the localized friction, strain, and heating between particle surfaces, as well as on the continuum-scale, by controlling the amount of energy required for compaction and deformation of the powder compact during uniaxial stress loading. Compacts composed of larger diameter aluminum particles (approximately 70µm) are shown to be more sensitive to impact initiated combustion than those composed of smaller particle diameters. Additionally, mechanical pre-activation by high energy ball milling (HEBM) of the aluminum powders increases the propensity for reaction initiation at low velocities.
The mechanistic processes leading to reaction initiation in the Al samples are investigated via high speed and IR imaging of light associated with the reaction. Images captured during compaction and deformation, revealing light emission and temperature rise, were correlated with meso-scale CTH simulations performed using real microstructures of aluminum powder compacts. The results of mesoscale CTH simulations reveal that initiation of combustion reactions in aluminum powder compacts is closely tied to mesoscale processes, such as particle-particle interactions, pore collapse, and particle-level deformation. These phenomena could not be measured directly because traditional pressure and velocity sensors are large in surface area and spatially average out the effects of these mesoscale processes, rendering them incapable of probing the heterogeneous processes taking place at this length scale. In order to address this issue, quantum dots (QDs) are investigated as possible meso-scale pressure sensors for probing the shock response of heterogeneous materials directly. Impact experiments were conducted on a QD-polymer film using a laser driven flyer setup at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC). In situ time-resolved spectroscopy is used to monitor the energy shift and intensity loss as a function of pressure over nanosecond time scales. Shock compression of a QD-PVA film results in an upward shift in energy (or a blueshift in the emission spectra) and a decrease in emission intensity. The magnitude of the shift in energy and the drop in intensity is a function of shock pressure; this relationship can be used to track the differences in the shock pressure at the voids and interfaces of granular materials, such as aluminum powders. Quantum dot-based mesoscale diagnostics pave the way for a better understanding of the mesoscale mechanisms involved in the high strain rate-initiation of intermetallic reactions.

IT WAS APRIL of 1975, a time of warm days and the Khmer New Year. I wondered if the Songkran goddess had descended to earth; I did not prepare any gifts to offer. The festive mood of people celebrating the three-day Chaul Chnam feasts resounded through the neighborhood. They shouted for King Sihanouk. I heard blasts that I thought were part of the revelry, but they sounded a lot like gunfire. I ran to the front gate and spotted an ice cream vendor on a bicycle with a cooler on the back. My grandfather snoozed in the hammock.
"May I buy an ice cream on a stick, Grandfather?" I called out to him.
It almost looked like he was nodding. I took that as a "yes," and stepped out to flag down the ice cream man. That is when Khmer Rouge soldiers caught my attention, as they passed by at the end of the street. They rode in the back of big trucks, flashing bright red scarves hanging from their necks, worn as a belt or wrapped around their heads. I stopped and stared, forgetting all about ice cream. The soldiers looked young, like pure Khmers with dark skin. They carried guns, M-16 rifles and AK47's, but they were smiling and celebrating victory. People lined up along the avenue and cheered as they passed by. Our neighbors were hanging white bed sheets from their windows. A man ran by waving a white flag and hollering.
"The Battambang army has surrendered to the Khmer Rouge!"
Who could have ever guessed the atrocities that would follow that fateful day. In the next four-and-a-half years, an estimated two million Cambodians died at the hands of Pol Pot's Khmer Rouge regime.
Never Forget.

LAHORE: Pakistan Cricket Board Chairman Shaharyar M Khan has expressed the optimism that Pakistan team will put up encouraging show in the tour of West Indies.
"Our team is a balanced one and has a good combination in which the experienced has been gelled with youth, keeping an eye on Pakistan's future in the game," he told the media here on Friday at Gadaffi Stadium. He said that the team prepared well at an extensive training camp where efforts had been made to do away with its weaknesses.
"A lot is expected from the young players who have been included in the team due to their superb performance and fitness, and experienced players are in the team to sustain the pressure with their rich experience and expertise," said the PCB chief.
"Good luck Pakistan team, our best wishes are with you," he added.
To a question, he said the PCB is making efforts to invite foreign teams to visit Pakistan after successful holding of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) final in Lahore earlier this month.
"We are in process of dialogue with Bangladesh Cricket Board to send their team to Pakistan in due course of time," said the PCB chairman.
Answering a question, he said that after the resignation of International Cricket Council Chairman Manohar Shashank, no name has yet come up for the election of the new chairman. – APP

ISL 2018-19: Eelco Schattorie - Happy to keep clean sheet against Jamshedpur
NorthEast United climbed to the second position on the Indian Super League (ISL) table after managing a goalless draw away from home against Jamshedpur FC on Saturday.
Speaking about the match, Dutch coach Eelco Schattorie said, "We had two games in a row - Pune and Jamshedpur - so we had a lot of travelling. That had an influence on both games. That game we won, this game we could have won.
"Secondly, Jamshedpur FC did not have many attempts and most of them were from outside the box or corners which our goalkeeper dealt with comfortably. Hence, I am proud of the defensive organisation. No team has managed to keep a clean sheet against Jamshedpur so we are happy to have achieved that."

He further added, "In the end, we are happy with the point but at the same time I want to play better football. The fatigue was a factor today. We need to play three games more and there is not much rest between them and they are very difficult games."
The NorthEast coach was clearly unhappy with their congested schedule. They played back-to-back away matches within a span of five days.
Stating his opinion of ISL's schedule, Schattorie said, "I don't want to criticise anyone. I only say it because I want both teams to compete in the best possible way. There are three teams with a clear disadvantage when it comes to the scheduling from the start of the season to the winter break when I was analysing it.
"One is Delhi Dynamos who have a worse schedule than us and then there is Mumbai City who also have a tough fixture run. Then there are some teams with matches more spaced out. Ideally, you would want at least a three-day break between every game to have players in the optimal condition."
"Of course, you need to respect the schedule of the league but I think it can be better organized. I am not trying to create any headlines and it is not a criticism. I accept the fixture congestion and we have to deal with it but I say for the future. I think everybody should come together and try to improve it (scheduling). It is just an honest opinion."
Eelco mentioned that he was happy with a point from this away fixture. He said, "It is a result and a result away from home is always good. Jamshedpur are a good team who play good football and we showed very good organisation today. I think we could have won as we had two or three good chances in the end but I am happy with the point, looking at the overall circumstances.
"I have to give a big compliment to my right-back (Provat) Lakra. It was his first start, young boy, the first time in the ISL but he played very well against JFC winger Michael Soosairaj after coming on a substitute. I think Soosairaj is a very good player so Lakra's performance was excellent."

Hon. Serge Joyal: Honourable senators, since today is the International Day of La Francophonie, I'd like to invite you to pay tribute to a great Canadian sculptor from Saskatchewan. The Franco-Saskatchewanian Joe Fafard, Canada's most famous contemporary sculptor, passed away on Saturday.
You might ask yourself: Who was Joe Fafard? Well, senators, he is the artist who produced the six stunning life-sized cows that were placed, in 1986, in the courtyard of the Toronto Dominion Bank Square in Toronto. At the time, it was almost a scandal; why would someone dare place six cows in the middle of the financial district of Toronto, so far away from the peaceful life of the countryside where such animals usually spend their lives?
But was such a site not, in fact, the perfect place for those cows: to remind financiers and all urban dwellers that aside from the rapid pace of business activities, we should not forget that we cannot bypass the rhythm of nature that links us to the human condition?
Who was Joe Fafard? He was born in 1942 on a small farm in Sainte-Marthe-Rocanville, on the border between Saskatchewan and Manitoba. Joe Fafard's family came from the Bois-Francs region of Quebec and had migrated west 50 years earlier. As a child, Fafard showed a natural talent for drawing and sculpture. He started modelling clay portraits of his family and the world around him at a very young age, depicting his parents' farm and livestock, the cows, calves, pigs and horses that made up his world.
He realized early that his animals in clay had to be cast in bronze to survive, given the harshness of the Canadian climate, but with no foundry nearby, he started his own foundry on land he bought in Pense, west of Regina. He lived in Saskatchewan his entire life and became well-known for his life-sized animals, expanding his surprisingly realistic works with busts of well-known people on the Canadian scene: sculptures of the Queen, John Diefenbaker, Pierre E. Trudeau, Jean Chrétien, and of the famous painters Van Gogh and Picasso, among others.
The first sculpture I saw by Fafard was in the early 1980s, in a private collection in Montreal: a bust of young Prince Charles, almost in caricature form, an almost kitschy sculpture. The retrospective of his work organized in and held at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts in 1996, and another at the National Gallery here in Ottawa in 2007, brought national attention to his horses and famous cows, painted in various colours representing the different breeds, and allowed him to be internationally renowned.
I had the privilege of meeting him in 1995, when I was asked by a friend to commission an unusual work. I asked Fafard, "You have done a lot of cows, but what about a big bull? After all, without a bull, there can be no real herd of cows," to keep them happy, as Senator Mercer would have said. He asked what I meant. I said I wanted a bull in bronze, monument-sized, to be placed in a field so that people would be mystified to see a monument of a bull alone, eating grass.
He prepared a template in Styrofoam to determine the outline, profile and size of a Hanoverhill Starbuck bull. The enormous sculpture was shipped from Saskatchewan to Quebec on a flatbed train, as it weighed more than two tonnes. We had to have a concrete base poured to prevent the bull from sinking into the ground, specifically given the spring thaw. Later, the sister of former Prime Minister John Turner wanted to also have a similar bull placed on her farm in the Eastern Townships. Fafard cast one, but in a different colour.
There is a powerful lesson to be learned from Joe Fafard's tremendous contribution to Canadian culture. You may be born and live your whole life in French on a small farm in Canada, out in the middle of nowhere, but your talent, language and cultural identity will always shine through.
Let us offer our heartfelt condolences to Joe Fafard's family.

Perry High School's Speak Life Resiliency Run Team Earns Regional Youth in Philanthropy Award
Perry High School's (PHS) Speak Life Resiliency Run Team will be presented with the Youth in Philanthropy Award, sponsored by the Association of Fundraising Professionals, at a luncheon on Nov. 1, 2019. Bryan Winslow, Leah Moore, Peter Smith, Alyssa McGraw, Emma George, a group of Perry High School students, and Principal Dave Riley planned the Speak Life Resilience Run to commemorate the Perry School District's students who died last year and to raise awareness about suicide prevention programs that can support families and students through times of difficulty. The race was held May 4 at Perry High School with all proceeds benefitting Akron Children's Hospital and Coleman Professional Services. "As a collective group, we are grateful to have been able to put on an event that raised money to support local charities who are given with the task to support families and those who struggle with mental illnesses," said the Speak Life Team. "We didn't look for this recognition and are certainly very humbled to have received the Community HOP Award from StarkMHAR and now this regional award through the AFP of Northeast Ohio Program."
The Youth in Philanthropy Award is part of the AFP Community Leader National Philanthropy Day Awards for Northeast Ohio. This award recognizes service by a child or group of children in grades K-12 who demonstrate commitment to the community through direct financial support, volunteering and/or leadership in philanthropy. "Congratulations to the Perry High School Students who organized this hugely successful event," said Perry Local School District Superintendent Scott Beatty. "While it came about due to tragic circumstances, these students were able to take their grief and channel it into something that benefits the community. They are amazing and we are honored to have them as a part of the Perry Local School District family."
