Former FERC Chief Jon Wellinghoff Speaks Out on Grid Security and Distributed Generation

In a previous article, I had a conversation with former-CIA chief Jim Woolsey to discuss one of America’s greatest national security vulnerabilities, its power grid. The issues that Woolsey has been concerned with for over a decade has been the ease in which a terrorist group or other actor (think North Korea for example) could attack the grid and plunge the country into darkness for months, if not years. And if that seems far-fetched, just recall how a tree limb fell in Ohio in 2003 and blacked out the entire Northeast and part of Canada for several days.

Spotify's new new 'Daily Wellness' playlist is worth a try but has a few flaws

With all the stress in the world — you know, a deadly, terrifying global pandemic — Spotify dropped a new service: a daily, personalized aimed at wellness. Fittingly, it's called Daily Wellness and I gave it a try. 

OK, first, let me drop my biases: I can be a cynical person and I'm pretty high energy — like hyper hyper — which has made meditation difficult for me. I can get both mentally and physically uncomfortable while trying anything resembling meditation or therapy or sincere reflection.

That being said, amid the pandemic — and battling some, let's say, serious anxiety — I've been taking active steps to try to improve my mental health. Therapy, meditation, exercise, whatever else, it all seemed like a good idea to help me get through the day. Read more...

Prediction of tunnelling impact on flow rates of adjacent extraction water wells

The decline or drying up of groundwater sources near a tunnel route is damaging to groundwater users. Therefore, forecasting the impact of a tunnel on nearby groundwater sources is a challenging task in tunnel design. In this study, numerical and analytical approaches were applied to the Qomroud water conveyance tunnel (located in Lorestan province, Iran) to assess the impact of tunnelling on the nearby extraction water wells. Using simulation of groundwater-level fluctuation owing to tunnelling, the drawdown at the well locations was determined. From the drawdowns and using Dupuit's equation, the depletion of well flow rates after tunnelling was estimated. To evaluate the results, observed well flow rates before and after tunnelling were compared with the predicted flow rates. The observed and estimated water well flows (before and after tunnelling) showed a regression factor of 0.64, pointing to satisfactory results

Control Strategy Approach for a Well-Characterized Vaccine Drug Product

Trumenba (MenB-FHbp; bivalent rLP2086), the first meningococcal serogroup B vaccine approved in the United States and subsequently approved in Europe, Canada, and Australia, is well-characterized. Pfizer devised a control strategy approach by using a simplified control strategy wheel for Trumenba based on International Council for Harmonisation (ICH) Q8 (R2), Q9, Q10, and Q11 guidelines, which provide complementary guidance on pharmaceutical development, quality risk management, quality systems, and development and manufacture of drug substances, respectively. These guidelines ensure product quality using a scientific and risk-based approach. Trumenba contains two factor H binding proteins (FHbps), one from each of the two FHbp subfamilies (A and B), adsorbed onto aluminum phosphate. Trumenba manufacturing processes are complicated by the recombinant protein expression of Subfamily A and B proteins and the nature of the drug product (suspension in syringes); the latter also introduces challenges in controlling product critical quality attributes during the development process. In such complex systems, the control strategy is critical to ensuring consistent desired product quality; it also supports the regulatory requirement of continued improvement through continuous process verification and aids regulatory filing. This article describes Pfizer's approach toward robust control strategy development, built on product and process understanding, and links control strategy to regulatory document sections and flow of controls. Specifically, an approach is presented on product quality attribute criticality determination based on safety and efficacy and on an understanding of process parameter criticality. This was achieved by studying the impact of the approach on product quality attributes to define process parameter and in-process controls. This approach is further explained through Trumenba case studies, highlighting specific quality attributes and the associated controls implemented, and provides a holistic view of controls employed for both drug substance and drug product.

Exceptionally well-preserved Permocalculus cf. tenellus (Pia) (Gymnocodiaceae) from Upper Permian Khuff Formation limestones, Saudi Arabia

An exceptionally well-preserved specimen of the articulated rhodophyte Permocalculus, compared with P. tenellus sensu Elliott, 1955, is described from fine-grained Upper Permian limestones of the Khuff Formation of Saudi Arabia. Longitudinal medullary and sheaf-like cortical filaments extend through the uniserial series of elongate-globular, concave- and convex-terminating, interlocking segments for which they are interpreted to have functioned in articulation. The filaments tend to splay and branch laterally into the cortex where they terminate at the pores. At the terminal aperture, the filaments extend as bifurcating and possibly trifurcating branches and may serve as the origin of a new segment. Numerous elongate-globular chambers, up to five in each row and intimately involved with the filaments, are developed in the outer medulla and are considered to represent reproductive sporangia. The specimen is considered to have occupied predominantly low-energy, normal to slightly elevated salinity, shallow conditions within the subtidal regime of a lagoon.

Bill Maher Has the Worst Take on Adele’s Weight Loss: ‘The Old Adele Would Not Fare as Well With COVID-19’

HBO

Adele posted a message to her social media channels this week thanking those on the front lines fighting COVID-19. In the process, the celebrated singer unveiled a thinner frame—and the internet had a lot of thoughts about it, almost all trash.

Enter Bill Maher, noted #MeToo skeptic, with perhaps the most garbage take of them all.

On Friday night, during the interview portion of his HBO show Real Time, the comedian began by placing the bulk of the blame for the high amount of COVID-19 deaths in the U.S. compared to other countries on America’s obesity problem—not, say, the fact that the Trump administration didn’t do a single thing during the month of February to contain the spread of the virus.

This week, the former One Direction singer Zayn Malik was announced as the face of the unisex jewellery label Martyre.
