, it's best to build inside a Chromium checkout using the following GN args:
is_official_build = true # Enables highest optimization level, using LTO on some platforms use_dawn = true # Required to build Dawn use_cfi_icall=false # Required because Dawn dynamically loads function pointers, and we don't sanitize them yet.
A Chromium checkout is required for the highest optimization flags. It is possible to build and run dawn_perf_tests
from a standalone Dawn checkout as well, only using GN arg is_debug=false

title: Please pray emergency

text:
I need y’all to pray for Sammy again. We went to the beach yesterday with the 10 oldest kids and Carlos’ family with the plan to stay 2 1/2 days. Yestereday evening when we got to the beach, Sammy got a little thorn in his left foot. By the morning, he had the same cellulitis (apparently) that he had when he was in the hospital a month ago. We took him to an emergency clinic and they said he needed to be in the hospital 3 days — so we got back in the bus and came back home to Siguatepeque and I am about to take him to check back into the clinic. We need wisdom. Several people said they just did one injection of Rocefan (which we have in our own pharmacy) and it wiped out the cellulitis. The doctors here keep saying we need to do another 3 day IV treatment that is more specifically for cellulitis, but it doesn’t get it completely out of his system and the next time he has an insect bite or another thorn, he could have a whole new infection.
Pray for us. I don’t know if I can check my email again for three days so just pray in the meantime. I am supposed to leave for my family reunion on Thursday so pray Sammy is so well that I can leave in perfect peace about his health.
Thanks so much for being there for us and that we can count on your prayers.
I will be calling Patti Arnold in Augusta today so if any of our pediatricians in Augusta have any ideas for me, call Patti at 706-799-1000.

FOND-ICO Sostenibilidad e Infraestructuras
Currently endowed with 400 million Euros
FOND-ICO Sostenibilidad e Infraestructuras aims to:
Investing in sustainable infrastructure assets as vectors of economic and social impact
Why FOND-ICO Sostenibilidad e Infraestructuras?
Complementary to bank financing, it acts as a minority investor that facilitates the development and construction of projects contributing to a more sustainable and carbon-neutral economy. The fund provides the added value of a flexible and stable long-term investor.
How can this be achieved?
It prioritises strategic niches in the energy, mobility, environmental, and social infrastructure sectors, with a constant focus on clear positive impact for people, the climate, and the environment.
Target projects. What sectors does it invest in?
As a long-term investor, it looks for projects, in Spain and abroad, with high flow predictability, developed by qualified promoters in the following sectors:
- Energy transition: sustainable power generation, distribution networks, energy efficiency.
- Environment: water, waste, circular economy.
- Mobility: motorways, roads, rail transport, ports, airports, electromobility.
- Social infrastructure and services: healthcare, education, and judicial infrastructure.
The invested resources are destined to finance new investments that are directly derived from the project (first and foremost Greenfield).
What tools do we invest through?
For direct investments in projects:
- Equity holdings: as a minority interest and accompanied by another financial investor.
- Subordinate debt or participative loans: conditions tailored to each project.
For investments abroad, financing in local currency is considered, subject to availability.
In the case of public tenders, the Fund only participates after the award of the project (generally on a concessionary basis), by which it may issue, where applicable, generic letters of eligibility in advance to bidders that make a request.
For investment in funds:
Targeting Greenfield projects with clear positive impacts, (economic, social, environmental), the fund also invests as a minority interest.
The capital of the allocated funds must be mainly private.
The manager must provide a methodology to measure the impact of its investments through sustainability indicators.
What is the range of the investment?
Between 10 and 30 million Euros per investment. Projects beyond this range may be analysed according to strategic value.
What is the duration of the investment?
The fund adjusts the duration of the investment according to the circumstances of each project, although due to its profile as a mainly long-term investor, a timeframe of 20 years can be expected.

This project, supported by the Krenicki Center for Business Analytics and Machine Learning, aims to develop an open-source logistics simulator using SimPy. The simulator will serve as a comprehensive tool for researchers, educators, and industry professionals to model and analyze complex logistics systems. Two students, one from the Department Computer Science and one from the Daniels School of Business, will collaborate to design, develop, and test the simulator under the mentorship Prof. Mohit Tawarmalani and Prof. Bruno Ribiero.
This study examines audit firms’ use of social media around reputation-damaging events. Using data extracted from the Twitter accounts of Big 4 audit firms, we find audit firms increase their social media activity in the three days surrounding the announcement of a client restatement or the loss of a client. In cross-sectional analyses, we find that heightened social media activity is significantly more pronounced for restatements that have an impact on net income and the loss of major clients. Additionally, we find that strategic social media activity is concentrated among audit firms with relatively higher PCAOB inspection deficiency rates, suggesting that heightened social media activity surrounding reputation-damaging events is driven by reputation concerns. Finally, we also find evidence that increased social media activity is positively associated with audit firm reputation among Twitter users and audit clients.

title: Mungbeans find sweet spot with sugarcane in the dry tropics

text:
FINDING a suitable crop to grow in rotation with sugarcane in the Burdekin region of far north Queensland has been an on-going challenge for growers and researchers.
In the short term it is hard to beat back-to-back sugarcane crops however, even in the Burdekin, yield decline in sugarcane monoculture is a reality.
CSIRO researcher Dr Stephen Yeates has a long association with tropical agriculture and his experience with mungbean dates right back to research work in the Kimberley region of WA and in the Northern Territory in the 1980s and ‘90s.
He is currently supported by the Grains Reseach and Development Corporation (GRDC) to assist farmers in developing optimal management practices and to identify varieties of mungbean suited to the Burdekin and NQ region.
“Being a tropical legume, mungbean is well suited to this area and the strong demand for mungbean is making it a very attractive option for growers,” he said.
“To make the most of this crop though we have been investigating the basic agronomic parameters such as sowing dates, row width and irrigation timing that generate the most reliable and high-quality results from the current and upcoming varieties.”
Fit in cane rotation
Mungbean is a good fit in the cane rotation as it is a quick crop that can fit around cane planting and harvest times.
Taking only 80 days from planting to harvest under irrigation in the Burdekin, mungbean provides an excellent opportunity to control grass weeds after cane while earning a solid return.
Mungbeans grown in the Burdekin are generally irrigated, high-input crops grown on small parcels of land.
In the 2015–16 season the area sown to mungbean in the Burdekin increased by about 60 per cent to an estimated 2500 ha or more, adding to the record-breaking Australian crop for that season. A similar area was planted in 2016–17.
Ideal growing conditions
Climatic analysis shows that the Dry Tropics provide ideal growing conditions for mungbeans, with an abundance of sunlight and plenty of rain and irrigation water available over a long period.
“The key is to look for a time of the year when it is least likely to rain at harvest, and work backwards to choose a good time to sow,” Dr Yeates said.
“Mungbean plants need to ripen in fine weather and can be weathered if as little as 30 millimetres of rain falls on the ripening pods.”
Mungbeans grow best when the average daily temperature is between 18 and 29˚C and sunlight and moisture are not limited, making spring planting an option for this region.
The recommendation with current varieties is to avoid planting between October and January to reduce the risk of weathering damage to the grain.
Planting in late August or early September will see the crops finish before the wet season begins and planting in February or March still allows the crop to be harvested before the next cane crop is planted.
Mungbean is very water efficient, requiring 3 megalitres/hectare compared to the 14ML/ha used to produce sugarcane, and produces less trash than alternative break crops such as rice and corn.
“Yield is generated in the last 30 days, so the timing of management decisions is critical,” Dr Yeates said.
“Warm temperatures and low humidity allows the pods to ripen in just 10 days and so the timing of the last irrigation is very important.”
A drying soil stimulates the plant to start the desiccation process and so a late irrigation or rainfall event can create harvest difficulties through high plant moisture content.
Being indeterminant, mungbeans will keep growing, and flowering, while moisture is available and they do not always respond to chemical desiccation.
Dr Yeates conducts irrigation scheduling experiments in the winter when it is unlikely that rain will influence the results.
Mungbeans respond quite differently to late season irrigations compared to soybeans, which generally benefit from a late irrigation to finish off.
While the current varieties are well suited to the Burdekin region Dr Yeates believes the climatic conditions in the region will support many more flowers than the current varieties produce.
Yields of 2.5t/ha are common on the well-drained soils in the region and Dr Yeates sees potential to increase this yield through fine-tuning the agronomy and removing the genetic constraint to the number of flowers per plant.
“The second flush of flowers come about 21 days after the first, potentially adding 30–40 per cent in yield, or rescuing a crop if the first flush is weathered, however, waiting for the second flush extends the growing period and it would usually be better to have more flowers on the first flush and to harvest at the earliest opportunity,” he said.
“We have a truly tropical variety, called Putland, that will flower in March when planted anytime from late December to mid-February.
“Characteristics like this can take some of the pressure off growers to get crops planted within a certain window to ripen at the optimum time.”
While only a small amount of Putland seed is available, this trait may be useful in future plant breeding programs to develop varieties specifically suited to the region.
Dr Yeates is working in partnership with the National Mungbean Improvement Program to screen new varieties for their suitability for the Dry Tropics region.
Australian Mungbean Association (AMA) president, Mark Schmidt, said more than 30 agronomists recently attended the industry’s best management practice training in Ayr, testament to the benefits of mungbeans to the Dry Tropics’ farming systems.
“The participation of so many agronomists in the accredited training program demonstrates their dedication to improving returns for growers in the Far North, and the role that mungbeans can play as a rotation crop and as a valuable crop in its own right,” he said.
“The mungbean industry Accredited Agronomists program is highly regarded and the AMA strongly encourages growers to engage agronomists and crop consultants who have invested their time in becoming accredited so they can offer expert advice and assist growers with key management decisions. Within the last few months over 100 agronomists have attended training courses held in Ayr, Emerald and Toowoomba to either gain new skills or refresh their mungbean management knowledge and more courses are planned for northern NSW.”
The Mungbean Accreditation courses are conducted by Pulse Australia’s Paul McIntosh in conjunction with a team of experts from the Department of Agriculture and Fisheries, NSW Department of Primary Industries, CSIRO and the AMA.

Walleys Quarry: Closure notice to remain in effect pending operator’s appeal
Gwion regularly appears in high-profile litigation in his areas of expertise. He is most widely known for acting for the successful party in the Hillside Parks litigation about multiple planning permissions for the same land, arguably the most significant planning case to reach the Supreme Court in the last 20 years.
Gwion’s practice also received national attention when a former Secretary of State conceded in the High Court that he had acted with apparent bias when granting planning permission for the Westferry Printworks redevelopment in east London. Gwion acted for the successful party, Tower Hamlets Council.
Gwion’s clients are diverse. He purposely retains a broad client base in both the private and public sectors so that his clients benefit from his understanding of how different parties are likely to approach a problem.
Planning inquiries are a major part of his practice. Gwion has extensive experience of acting for developers in appeals raising difficult issues in relation to design, architectural quality, cultural heritage and viability, especially in and around London. For further details of these cases, please click on the ‘Planning’ tab above.
Highly technical planning and environmental appeals where experts disagree about environmental impacts also feature heavily in Gwion’s practice given his “forensic” approach to evidence and “ability to rapidly absorb, filter and distil” technical material (Chambers & Partners).
Gwion regularly acts for leading national housebuilders across England and Wales, including Persimmon, William Davis and Bloor, and has achieved many successful outcomes for boutique residential developers in both urban and rural locations.
Since taking silk, Gwion has acquired further expertise in promoting market-leading retirement schemes at appeal. Current clients include KYN (a dementia care home and research centre in Cambridge) and Elysian Residences.
He also works frequently with clients from the retail sector. Recent successes include a series of judicial reviews for the Midcounties Co-operative to overturn planning permissions granted to a competitor, and defeating a rival developer’s proposal to demolish the Homebase store in Saffron Walden.
In addition to acting in planning appeals, Gwion has considerable experience of the development consent process for large infrastructure projects, having acted for Natural Resources Wales, the Welsh environmental body, in all the high-profile Welsh DCO hearings of the last 10 years (including the proposal for a new nuclear power station on the Wylfa site on Anglesey; the Awel y Môr offshore windfarm near to the north Wales coast; and the proposal for the world’s first man-made, energy-generating tidal lagoon at Swansea Bay).
Gwion enjoys long-standing relationships with many public bodies in England and Wales, building on his previous experience as a member of both the Attorney-General’s ‘A’ Panel of Counsel, and the Welsh Government’s Panel of Junior Counsel, before taking silk. He is regularly instructed by the Environment Agency in judicial reviews and environmental permitting appeals and is currently leading the Agency’s climate change officials in defending the first tranche of civil penalties imposed on aircraft operators under the UK’s new Greenhouse Gas Emissions Trading Scheme.
Gwion’s regular local authority clients include (to name only a few) Hounslow Council, Tower Hamlets Council, Chichester District Council, Torbay Council, Mid Sussex District Council, South Hams District Council and the South Downs National Park. In the recent directories, a local authority client praised Gwion for his consistently “punchy” and “succinct” written advice that makes “complicated cases look straightforward despite difficult points” (Chambers & Partners). His work for local authorities spans the full range of their functions, including education, elections and ethical standards.
Gwion is based in London but welcomes instructions from all parts of the United Kingdom and from international clients. He is Welsh-English bilingual.
Gwion advises on all aspects of planning law and he appears regularly in inquiries, in hearings and in court in this area. The main legal directories have recommended Gwion as a leading barrister in planning law for several years: “A go-to barrister for planning disputes”; “A formidable advocate”; “An intellectual star”; “Ferocious in court and on paper” (Chambers and Partners); “Very smart and excellent on his feet”; “Very user-friendly and easy to work with” (Legal 500). Gwion has acted for clients in many of the leading planning cases of the last 20 years, including the long-running Hillside Parks litigation that reached the Supreme Court in 2022, where he acted for the successful party.
Gwion has substantial experience of acting for leading housebuilders (Persimmon; William Davis; Bloor; Jelson; Barwood); the retail sector (Homebase; Co-operative Group; Tesco; Toni & Guy); the residential care sector (KYN; Elysian Residences); the entertainment sector (Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Really Useful Group; Pinewood Studios) and the hospitality sector (Mayfair’s Dorchester Hotel). He also has considerable experience of infrastructure schemes, advising developers, local authorities and regulators on energy schemes and port-related development across England and Wales.
Highlights of Gwion’s recent and ongoing planning work are set out here in two sections: (1) planning inquiries, examinations and hearings; and (2) planning litigation in the courts.
(1) Planning inquiries, examinations and hearings
Residential-led mixed use schemes
Residential care homes
(2) Planning litigation in the courts
Gwion regularly appears in court in planning-related matters. Recent and current highlights include:
Multiple/inconsistent planning permissions
National Planning Policy Framework for England
Planning Policy Wales
Gwion advises on all aspects of environmental law and he has a diverse range of clients spanning the private, public and third sectors.
The main legal directories have recommended Gwion as a leading barrister in environmental law for several years: “A truly brilliant advocate who cuts to the chase and has extreme knowledge of environmental law”; “Very punchy and incredibly effective”; “Has the ability to rapidly absorb, filter and distil often technical or document-heavy matters and get to the crux of those points that ultimately determine cases”; “A pleasure to work with” (Chambers and Partners); “At the top of the tree for work in Wales”; ”Very user-friendly” (Legal 500); and a “National Leader” in environmental law who “… never fails to impress” (Who’s Who Legal).
For the last 15 years, Gwion has acted for Natural Resources Wales (and its predecessor bodies) in almost all its environmental litigation in the higher courts. He is also frequently instructed by the Environment Agency, Defra, the Welsh Ministers and the Marine Management Organisation in appeals and judicial review claims that raise issues of environmental law.
Gwion’s commercial clients in this area include several housing developers (St Modwen Developments Ltd, Alpine Homes Ltd, Walker Developments Ltd), statutory water undertakers (Anglian Water, Essex and Suffolk Water, Northumbrian Water) and national and regional waste operators (Stericycle UK). He has also been advising many of the UK’s most respected environmental NGOs for several years, including WWF UK, ClientEarth, Friends of the Earth and the Soil Association.
Gwion has particular expertise in the following areas:
Highlights of recent and ongoing work include:
Water resources and management
Flood risk management
Aarhus Convention Compliance Committee hearings
Public law is at the heart of Gwion’s practice. For several years, the main legal directories have identified Gwion as a leading public law barrister, with clients commending him for being a “top-class advocate” (Legal 500) who delivers “extremely effective” pleadings and “very succinct and focused” advice (Chambers & Partners).
Before taking silk, Gwion was a member of both the Attorney General’s ‘A’ Panel of Junior Counsel and the Welsh Government’s Panel of Junior Counsel. This meant that he regularly acted for the UK and Welsh Governments in their most complex cases. Since taking silk, Gwion has continued to represent both Governments regularly in the higher courts and in international litigation.
Many of Gwion’s cases feature aspects of planning and environmental law, but his interest in public law and judicial review extends more broadly to issues arising in immigration, human trafficking, education, equality and discrimination law, detention, electoral law, transport, standards and ethics, care standards and property-related public law.
In recent years, Gwion has acted for the UK Government in most of its litigation in the higher courts raising issues under the Council of Europe Convention on Action Against Trafficking in Human Beings and Article 4 ECHR. He has also represented the UK Government in almost all of its significant cases on the Dublin III Regulation since 2016.
Gwion has particular interest in public law issues arising from the devolution settlement for Wales. His regular clients in Wales include the Welsh Ministers, Natural Resources Wales, the Welsh Language Commissioner and the Public Services Ombudsman for Wales. In 2014, Gwion became the first Counsel in history to undertake a High Court trial entirely through the medium of Welsh.
Gwion also has established relationships with several local authorities and National Park authorities across England and Wales. Gwion advises on all aspects of local government work, with a particular expertise in education, elections and ethical standards.

Munich Airport Expands Use Of Video Surveillance
Aimetis Corp., a provider intelligent IP video management software, recently announced that Munich Airport has expanded the use of Aimetis Symphony video surveillance to Terminal 2, bringing the total cameras under Aimetis management to 1,900.
Aimetis Symphony provides Munich Airport with a single platform to manage analog CCTV systems on an IP network and integrate the video management system into other systems on the network -- such as the command center and the burglary and fire alarm system. Aimetis Symphony is the core of the surveillance system and has successfully been used in Terminal 1 of the Bavarian capital’s airport since 2009.
During the past year, approximately 800 Bosch network cameras in Terminal 1 were equipped with Aimetis Symphony software. With the expansion being implemented at Terminal 2 to include legacy analog cameras with Axis Communications encoders, Aimetis Symphony will be managing more than 1,900 cameras, 1,000 I/O devices and 5,000 users in a single platform, all of which is handled by only six active and three redundant servers for system failover. In view of the airport's constant growth and expansion, it is expected that there will be more than 3,000 cameras installed in the future.
"For us, a crucial aspect of integrating Terminal 2 into the surveillance system is the possibility to integrate it in the complete network platform and to use just one CCTV system for the entire airport," said Michael Fröhlich, CCTV project manager at Munich Airport. "The Aimetis Symphony software has ensured smooth airport operations, helped prevent or clear up criminal activity and supply rescue teams with all the information necessary in special situations," said Michael Zaddach, chief information officer at Munich Airport.
In cooperation with prime contractor Alcatel-Lucent, which is responsible for system integration and overall project management, Aimetis is delivering a key solution for one of the largest, most innovative CCTV projects in Germany.
"The Munich Airport had high expectations in terms of performance and reliability for this critical component of its security system, and Aimetis is helping us meet those expectations, including the ability to upgrade individual cameras with video analysis algorithms tailored to its specific location," said Carsten Smago, head of the services business at Alcatel-Lucent Germany.
"We are happy and proud to extend the use of Aimetis Symphony at Munich Airport,” said Aimetis CEO Marc Holtenhoff. “The project teams from Alcatel-Lucent, Munich Airport and Aimetis have worked hard to ensure the success of this project and improve the safety at the airport.”
More than 33 million passengers were counted in Munich airport in 2009, which makes it one of the world's 30 largest airports and one of Europe's top seven airports in terms of passenger volume. As the result of a large-scale survey conducted by the independent market research institute Skytrax with more than 10 million passengers, Munich airport emerged as the best European airport in terms of quality and efficiency in the year 2010 and as the fourth-best worldwide. Munich Airport had already been rated top by Europe's passengers in the years 2005 to 2008.


title: What is Sebaceous Carcinoma?

text:
What is Sebaceous Carcinoma?
Sebaceous carcinoma, pronounced “suh-BAY-shus,” emerges as a rare skin cancer originating from oil-producing glands within the skin. These sebaceous glands, responsible for producing protective sebum, can be found extensively beneath the skin’s surface, especially in areas with hair.
While it predominantly targets the eyelids, sebaceous carcinoma can develop anywhere on the body. Its aggressive nature is evident through rapid spread, classifying it as metastatic cancer when it extends beyond the initial site.
Under various aliases like sebaceous gland carcinoma or meibomian gland carcinoma, it’s a formidable adversary seldom seen, affecting a mere 1% of eyelid tumors and presenting unique challenges in diagnosis and treatment.
What are the causes and risk factors of Sebaceous Carcinoma?
What are the symptoms of Sebaceous Carcinoma?
Advanced sebaceous carcinoma reveals a range of symptoms that warrant attention. Left untreated, this aggressive skin cancer can trigger various manifestations, including:
- Loss of eyelashes, a concerning sign of its impact on the delicate eye area.
- Oozing growths on both upper and lower eyelids, a distressing consequence of the disease’s progression.
- Reddish eyes that resemble conjunctivitis, a symptom that can raise alarm.
- Vision problems, a grave concern due to the potential impairment it poses.
How is Sebaceous Carcinoma treated?
The arsenal of treatments for sebaceous carcinoma encompasses diverse strategies tailored to the individual’s condition.
Surgical avenues take the forefront:
Wide Local Excision: A meticulous procedure that removes the tumor and a normal tissue margin. This helps ensure the cancer’s thorough elimination.
Mohs Surgery: Employing a staged approach, Mohs surgery incrementally removes the cancerous tumor and surrounding healthy tissue. During the procedure, thin slices of tissue are examined to gauge the need for further excision, guaranteeing complete eradication of cancer cells.
Radiation Therapy: Reserved for cases where surgery isn’t feasible, radiation therapy targets the cancer cells with high-energy rays, inhibiting their growth and division.
FAQ about Sebaceous Carcinoma
What distinguishes Sebaceous Carcinoma from Sebaceous Hyperplasia and Sebaceous Cysts
Sebaceous hyperplasia is a benign growth within hair follicles, while sebaceous cysts are noncancerous growths forming beneath the skin due to clogged sebaceous glands.
When should I seek medical attention for skin growths or changes?
It’s advisable to consult a healthcare provider if you notice any unusual growths on your skin, especially around the eyes, or experience changes in moles or birthmarks.
What questions should I ask my dermatologist about Sebaceous Carcinoma?
Some relevant questions include understanding the causes, potential risks, suitable treatment options, and the need for cancer screenings based on your individual circumstances.
Is there a connection between hormonal changes and the development of Sebaceous Carcinoma?
While no direct link has been established, hormonal changes might influence the risk, but more research is needed for a conclusive answer.
Is there a dermatologist near me in Omaha that offers treatment for Sebaceous Carcinoma?
Yes. At our Omaha dermatology office we offer treatment for Sebaceous Carcinoma to patients from Omaha and the surrounding area. Contact our office today to schedule an appointment.

How social health is driving real estate investment
Buildings for diverse workers, plus investor values, are becoming more prominent
The social health of buildings, which includes features to reflect diverse workforces and even the ethical position of investors, is rising up the ranks of importance for investors and occupier organisations in the wake of the COVID pandemic as the office market continues to be heavily influenced by tenant demands.
Facilities that account for more diverse building users and a wider community are expected to feature more prominently in new and refurbished buildings, according to a report citing the themes expected to drive investments in 2022.
“We're now starting to hear greater discussion around whether a building has the inclusion of a prayer room and whether there are gender neutral end-of-trip facilities to account for a diverse workforce,” says Andrew Ballantyne, head of research – Australia, JLL.
In addition, amphitheaters or additional steps are being included in buildings to encourage community integration and interaction.
Looking for more insights? Never miss an update.
The latest news, insights and opportunities from global commercial real estate markets straight to your inbox.
Speaking on JLL’s Perspectives podcast, Ballantyne adds that investors are becoming more discerning about which tenants to have in their buildings.
“Previously, the focus was very much on the quality of the covenant. That is, what is the organisation’s credit rating? What's the term of the lease? But now there's a lot more discussion around whether a tenant has particularly strong political views, or operating in an industry which is a high pollutant?”
Healthcare will be another major growth area for Australia and New Zealand real estate markets, owing to changing demographics and evolving technology. The sector is accounting for a wave of occupier requirements set to come through over 2022 and 2023.
“You might have thought that a rise in healthcare would have meant more private hospitals, but we are seeing a migration towards offices that need to be repurposed and given better environmental credentials and then that lending itself to healthcare tenants,” says Fergal Harris, JLL’s head of capital markets for Australia, who was also speaking on the Perspectives podcast. “It’s not your typical area of growth for the office market, but it’s very much an emerging trend.”
Healthcare and social governance are two of the five factors driving investment decisions in 2022, according to JLL. The other three are a higher interest rate environment, the comeback of COVID-impacted sectors, and a shift to infill logistics.
Ballantyne and Harris explore the themes in detail on episode 29 of JLL’s Perspectives podcast, which can be downloaded here.

Eschewing blank space for an intricate wall-hanging system, TEMP’s design looks to evolve the modern art gallery
Words by Hugh Metcalf
Photos by Jin Weiqi
For its latest project, the X Museum in Beijing, architecture and design studio TEMP has sought to create an epicentre for contemporary art and culture for a younger generation in the Chinese capital.
The design of this new gallery space started with a simple question – how should a painting be hung on a wall? In this question, TEMP has dissociated X Museum from the concrete and white box museums that make up the majority of the art world – making an audacious decision to simply try something different in the way this space displays art.
The studio’s solution was to clad the interiors with custom made terracotta bricks which incorporated horizontal slots that allow for metal clips to hang. Its a versatile wall-hanging system that allows for paintings, installations, projectors and even, if demand requires, white walls to be installed on it.
Externally, a large X, made from an intersection of two H beams which support not only each other but the curved roof, becomes the main motif of the museum. The perforated roof filters patterns of light into the entrance space.
On the façade of the building, 54 light boxes have been installed on the rendered walls. As well as an aesthetic addition, creating interesting shadows throughout the day and embedded with downlighters for post-dusk illumination, these also form another installation system – one that allows for large posters and displays to be hung.
X Museum is a place with a strong thread of visual texture running throughout it. While the traditional white box gallery offers breathing space for an artwork, TEMP’s design sets up a new dynamic between art and its surroundings for visitors to explore.

title: Designart networks releases lte small

text:
DesignArt Networks has released the single-chip DAN3000 evaluation kit, which doubles as a reference design for all-in-one base stations and gigabit+ mobile backhaul for any spectrum. |
DesignArt Networks, headquartered in Israel, is a 5-year old company that specializes in "base station on a chip" SoCs (systems on a chip) for wireless infrastructure. The company first introduced the DAN 2400 for WiMAX (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access) base stations in 2008, and followed with announcement of the 2nd generation DAN 3000 series for LTE (Long-Term Evolution) in 2010.
Joachim Hallwachs, Vice President of Marketing and Business Development at DesignArt Networks, says that the company's processors integrate special-purpose DSPs (digital signal processors) that provide a generic platform which designers can use to build any baseband product for a 3G or 4G RAN (radio-access network). While competitors are announcing base station SoCs in a variety of configurations for small to medium and large cells, Hallwachs says that DesignArt's DAN 3000 does not require any change in architecture for heterogeneous networks - the cost, power and performance are sufficient for any application.DesignArt uses the same 22-core SoC architecture, and modifies just the "speeds and feeds" by integrating different I/Os that are required for macro, micro or pico cells. Software is also 100% reusable, so that customers can use the same development environment regardless of application.
DesignArt's SoC platform integrates the RF-DFE with DSP, hardware acceleration and RISC cores to support design of multimode software-defined radio base stations for heterogeneous networks. |
DesignArt develops their 22-core SoCs by combining 6 of their own proprietary DSP designs with 12 of Tensilica's customizable LX3 DPUs (Dataplane Processor Units), and a quad-core ARM controller for base station applications. The company is fabricating the chips in a 40nm TSMC process. Hallwachs claims that DesignArt is the only company to have integrated the RF-DFE (radio frequency digital front end) for remote radio heads on their base station SoC. This significantly lowers system power dissipation, he says, by enabling designers to squeeze more performance from the PA (power amplifier). DesignArt is focused on power dissipation at both the system and chip level. The use of only 6 DSP cores running at only 600 MHz, augmented by extensive hardware acceleration, lowers power consumption compared to competitors architectures according to DesignArt.
By providing a complete hardware and production-grade software solution, Hallwachs says that DesignArt is like a combination of TI and mimoOn, with a focus on the PHY (physical layer). Customers can purchase the software as a reference design to modify for their own use with no warranty, or license the software as a complete certified end-to-end product. For the MAC (media access control) layer, the company partners with companies like Aricent, or their tier-1 customers often develop their own solutions.
DesignArt has now released reference evaluation kits for the DAN3000, in two different versions. The first version, for the DAN3400 & 3300, supports LTE-advanced PHYs with features for carrier aggregation, 4X4 MIMO (multiple input, multiple output) antennas, and self-backhaul.Early customer tests have achieved 1.2Gbps LTE data rates from the 600 MHz DSPs, while consuming less than 8 watts of power in a 4-sector macro base station on a chip configuration. The small cell DAN3400 has been tested to support 256 users of HSPA and LTE concurrently, while also running the self-backhaul on the same chip. Hallwachs says that the company will have two Tier-1 customers completing trials in Q3 and Q4 of this year, the 4-Sector macro base station and a 2-carrier picocell application, both in 20 MHz LTE.
The second evaluation kit, based on the DAN3200, provides a variety of RF front ends and a UMB (Unified Mobile Backhaul) software pack for gigabit+ wireless backhaul applications. DesignArt’s small cell backhaul solution combines two low-cost options in a single-SoC development platform, a multi-hop NLOS (non- line of sight) backhaul in sub-6GHz spectrum and short-range LOS (line of sight) backhaul in unlicensed millimeter wave spectrum (E-band).
With 4G operators moving to heterogenous networks that will require filling in coverage with smaller cells, the integration of backhaul on the same chip with the RAN provides significant cost savings. It also helps to resolve the major issue that has limited more extensive deployment of femto cells. DesignArt Networks claims to have solved the small cell backhaul problem, which Hallwachs hints will be demonstrated by a "very large" U.S. operator in Q3.

Yesterday I had two guests on the podcast,
and Dylan (aka , aka Raging Bull Capital), to talk about Calumet CLMT 0.00%↑. You should all go check out their Substacks below. You can also find them on Twitter (here and here). It was an interesting conversation on a stock that has several catalysts lined up in the near future. We talked about the DOE loan that is expected to close before year end, the different segments of the business, and more.Podcast Summary
We talked about the 30,000 foot view of Calumet, which has transitioned from a busted MLP with no dividend to a C-corp earlier this year.
The terms of the DOE loan, which was announced in October, and expected to close by year end.
Why Karst views the DOE loan as a balance sheet event, and the deleveraging and reduction in interest expense that will happen as a result of the loan.
How Dylan thinks the DOE loan derisks the business for the next couple years.
What SAF (sustainable aviation fuel) expansion might look like for Calumet.
I play devil’s advocate questioning the long-term viability of SAF.
Their thoughts on what a potential monetization event might look like (and its timing), whether it’s an IPO of the Montana Renewables segment, or a sale of one of the other segments.
If there are any risks to Calumet from the incoming Trump administration.
Book Recommendation from Dylan: How The World Really Works by Vaclav Smil.
Book Recommendation from Karst: Throne of Grace by Bob Drury & Tom Clavin.
All three of us currently have an investment in Calumet. You should do your own research before making any investment decisions. Different investment strategies have different risk/return profiles which should be considered before making any decisions.

title: Enlightenment culture leisure houses of culture in czechoslovakia

text:
Release Date: 2023
Contributors: Michaela JANECKOVÁ, Irena LEHKOZIVOVÁ
Genre: architecture, urbanism / építészet, urbanisztika
The publication is the first book to provide a comprehensive account of the building of a nationwide network of cultural houses, which were systematically established during the socialist period in the former Czechoslovakia. As places of public life in post-war society, these buildings enjoyed generous state support, not only economically but also politically and legislatively. Our interest is not only focused on their specific typology, but we also look at their educational and emancipatory potential as well as their role as a political tool for the organization and control of leisure. The publication also focuses on the search for the roots and programmatic antecedents of cultural institutions established from the nineteenth century onwards and in the inter-war period (association and national or workers' houses), with an overlap into the post-1989 period, when buildings and their operators had to, and sometimes still have to, cope with the demands of modernisation. The book covers both the Czech and Slovak context of the construction of cultural houses, which not only manages to cover the entire territory of the former Czechoslovakia, but also to capture the different historical experiences. The texts for the book were written by Jiří Andrs, Jan Galeta, Hubert Guzik, Katarína Haberlandová, Michaela Janečková, Laura Krišteková, Josef Ledvina, Irena Lehkoživová, Henrieta Moravčíková, Peter Szalay, Karel Šima, Jitka Šosová, Lukáš Veverka, Jan Zikmund, with a foreword by the leading British cultural and art historian David Crowley. The book is a combination of a scholarly book and a pictorial publication with images by photographers Oskar Helcel and Martin Netočný. The series of photographs divides the text into four parts, the first of which focuses on historical pre-images of cultural houses in the Czech lands and Slovakia from the 19th century onwards, and the second on the practical aspects of their construction during the period of state socialism. The third traces the history and changes of cultural houses in the Czech lands from the Second World War to the 1990s. The fourth section focuses on the same in Slovak territory and also includes two case studies, one from Slovakia and the other from the Czech Republic. The individual texts are accompanied by a number of contemporary reproductions, many of which are published for the first time.

text:

There can be a variety of things that cause a power surge from both exterior and interior sources. Exterior power surges can come from lightning strikes, downed power lines, and widespread voltage fluctuations like those that occur during a blackout or brownout. The more common type of power surges are from interior sources, for example when a major appliance causes an overload, or a short circuit triggers a voltage surge. Surge protectors will protect your HVAC system from damage in any of these situations.
Although heating and air conditioning equipment often seem fairly robust, the truth is that it is made up of a variety of delicate electronic components including circuit boards, motors, temperature controls, contactors, capacitors, and other mechanics.

Even if you already have surge protectors in place to keep electronics like computers and televisions safe, it won't protect the HVAC unit. Instead, a dedicated surge protector is required to prevent costly damage to your compressor and other parts in the event of a power surge.

Written by ESPN investigative reporters Violated narrates the sexual abuse by members of Baylor's football team and the university's attempt to silence the victims. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to RAINN to help fight sexual abuse.
Throughout its history, Baylor University has presented itself as something special: As the world's largest Baptist university, it was unabashedly Christian. It condemned any sex outside of marriage, and drinking alcohol was grounds for dismissal. Students weren't even allowed to dance on campus until 1996.
During the last several years, however, Baylor officials were hiding a dark secret: Female students were being sexually assaulted at an alarming rate. Baylor administrators did very little to help victims, and their assailants rarely faced discipline for their abhorrent behavior.
Finally, after a pair of high-profile criminal cases involving football players, an independent examination of Baylor's handling of allegations of sexual assault led to sweeping changes, including the unprecedented ouster of its president, athletics director, and popular, highly successful football coach.
For several years, campuses and sports teams across the country have been plagued with accusations of sexual violence, and they've been criticized for how they responded to the students involved. But Baylor stands out. A culture reigned in which people believed that any type of sex, especially violent non-consensual sex, simply "doesn't happen here." Yet it was happening. Many people within Baylor's leadership knew about it. And they chose not to act.
Paula Lavigne and Mark Schlabach weave together the complex - and at times contradictory - narrative of how a university and football program ascending in national prominence came crashing down amidst the stories of woman after woman coming forward describing their assaults, and a university system they found indifferent to their pain.


title: Easily propagate lavender

text:
Ever seen a great looking Lavender plant and wished it was growing at your home instead? Read on then and I’ll tell you how to easily propagate lavender, and other perennials for that matter.
How I easily propagate lavender plants:
The best time to propagate plants is in early spring, when the plant is just coming out of dormancy and new growth is developing. Find the new shoots. These are the non woody parts, also known as the meristematic growth.
Cut about 3″ off of the new growth. I usually take several in order to account for possible/likely loss. Cleanliness matters here, so make sure your pruners, hands and working space is as clean and disinfected as reasonably possible.
Next, trim the leaves from the top half of your cuttings and then remove the rest from the bottom half. You want to trim the leaves as the reduced foliage reduces the amount of energy needed by the plant to stay alive and set roots.
This is it now. All you do is plant all the cuttings half way down, or to the first leaves. I put them all together so as to save space as some of them might not make it. I was not concerned with the soil and so just used a seed starting mix. I’m sure there are better things to use. I’ve heard some people put soil into the oven at about 250 degrees so as sanitize it. Could have gone that route, I guess. Another tid bit of information to help you with rooting. Many use “Willow Water” for dipping the end of the cuttings. This has been shown to help in rooting as this infusion has beneficial compounds. A cheap and easy trick is to just dilute aspirin into a glass of water and use that instead. Not as natural, but effective.
Hope this helps you along in greening the world! Let me know what you plan on using it with or if you have any questions.
Till next time…


title: See the june issue of britain at war for lord ashcrofts new bravery article 3

text:
Lord Ashcroft KCMG PC has had his latest “hero of the month” article published in Britain at War, the country’s best-selling military history monthly magazine.
The June issue of the magazine has four pages on the life and career of Captain Gerald O’Sullivan, who was awarded the VC for bravery during the First World War.
O’Sullivan, who was born in Co Cork, was commissioned into the Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers in 1909. During the First World War, he served with the 1st Iniskillings that were chosen for duties in the Dardanelles.
He successfully landed at X Beach, Gallipoli, on April 25, 1915, but it was for two significant actions in June and July that he was awarded the VC. In the first action, he led a daring attack to recover a fire-trench that had been lost to the enemy. The ferocious fighting was spread over two days.
In his second action, this time in the Battle of Gully Ravine, O’Sullivan again led his men during heavy and prolonged fighting, being wounded in the leg.
Yet, O’Sullivan was back in the frontline within weeks but, after learning he was to receive the VC, he was killed in action trying to take “Hill 70” on August 21 1915. He was aged 26 and his posthumous VC was officially announced just over a week later on September 1.
Lord Ashcroft’s articles for Britain at War over the past seven years have been largely based on excerpts from his six books on gallantry: Victoria Cross Heroes, Special Forces Heroes, George Cross Heroes, Heroes of the Skies, Special Ops Heroes and Victoria Cross Heroes Volume II.
Lord Ashcroft is a military historian who has lectured extensively on courage and his various medal collections
- Lord Ashcroft’s latest article appears in the June issue of Britain at War which is on sale now.


title: Nigerias cjn may stand trial

text:
Nigeria’s Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN) may stand trial for failing to declare all his assets and having bank accounts denominated in local and foreign currencies after Federal Government filed 6 charges against Walter Onnoghen at the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT) on 10 January, 2019.
Among others, the CJN, is accused of breaching Public Service Rules and Paragraph 15(1) and (2) of the Code of Conduct Bureau and Tribunal Act and Paragraph 11(1) of Part 1 of the 5th Schedule of the 1999 Constitution (as amended) which stipulate the time frame for public officers to declare their assets and penalise false statements respectively. However, the timing of the charges has been criticised by some as an attempt to intimidate the judiciary in view of Nigeria’s forthcoming elections that are scheduled in four weeks.
While an Abuja Division of the Federal High Court has extended the restraining order against the continuation of the trial of Nigeria’s Chief Justice, Walter Onnoghen to January 28, 2019, it is unclear whether the government will resist pressure from civil society, the leadership of the National Assembly and the highest echelon of lawyers represented by the Senior Advocates of Nigeria to stop planned arraignment.
The independence of judges has come under close scrutiny after judges’ homes were broken and raided in 2016. However, it is not the first time that charges by the CCT have been perceived to have political undertones as the Senate President, Bukola Saraki also faced a 13 count charge by the Tribunal in 2015 before his acquittal, last year. The Senate President had been accused of making false asset declarations and opening a foreign account.

Google Cloud Website Hosting
Google Cloud Platform (GCP) offers several options for website hosting. Here are three common approaches to hosting websites on Google Cloud:
Compute Engine (Virtual Machines): With Compute Engine, you can create virtual machine instances and host your website on them. You have full control over the server environment and can install any web server software, such as Apache or Nginx, along with the necessary dependencies and configurations. This option is flexible and allows you to customize the server environment based on your specific requirements.
App Engine: Google App Engine is a fully managed platform-as-a-service (PaaS) offering that automatically scales your web applications based on traffic. You can deploy your website code and configuration to App Engine, and it will handle the underlying infrastructure, including load balancing and scaling. App Engine supports several programming languages, including Java, Python, Node.js, and more.
Cloud Storage: Google Cloud Storage is an object storage service that can be used to host static websites. You can upload your website files to a Cloud Storage bucket and configure it for website hosting. Cloud Storage offers high availability, scalability, and global content delivery through Cloud CDN (Content Delivery Network).
In addition to these options, you can also use services like Firebase Hosting or Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) for hosting websites on Google Cloud Platform, depending on your specific needs and preferences.
When choosing the right hosting option, consider factors such as scalability, performance, cost, infrastructure management requirements, and the level of control you require. Each hosting option has its own benefits and considerations, so it’s important to evaluate your specific requirements before making a decision.
Note that if you have a WordPress website, you can also leverage managed WordPress hosting services provided by Google Cloud, such as “WordPress on Google Cloud” or other third-party solutions optimized for hosting WordPress sites on GCP. These services offer simplified deployment, management, and scalability for WordPress-based websites.
