U.S. MNT DRAWS WITH MEXICO 2-2 IN FRONT OF 59,066 IN GLENDALE, ARIZ.
Michael Bradley and Chris Wondolowski Score First-Half Goals for USA
GLENDALE, Ariz. (April 2, 2014) - Sporting their new away kits for the first time in 2014, the U.S. Men's National Team players played to a 2-2 draw against longtime rival Mexico in front of 59,066 fans at University of Phoenix Stadium. The USA scored twice in the first half with Michael Bradley scoring the game's opening goal and then assisting Chris Wondolowski's team-leading third goal of the year. The USA increased its unbeaten streak to five games against Mexico (2-0-3 during its current stretch). The U.S. had held Mexico scoreless for 392 straight minutes until Rafael Marquez's 49th-minute goal.
Goal Scoring Rundown:
USA - Michael Bradley (Graham Zusi), 15th minute: Graham Zusi, on the game's first corner kick, delivered a perfect ball from the left side as Michael Bradley separated himself from Mexico defender Jesus Eduardo Zavala at the far right post. Bradley played the ball off a short hop and directed it into the net for his 12th career goal. It also marked the third time that Bradley scored off of a corner kick assist against Mexico. USA 1, MEX 0 (SEE GOAL)
USA - Chris Wondolowski (Michael Bradley), 28th minute: The USA's sharp passing from midfielders Graham Zusi and Clint Dempsey led to an attack from the right side as Tony Beltran crossed from the right flank. Michael Bradley flicked a header to the left side of the box, where Chris Wondolowski snuck behind Mexico's Rogelio Alfredo Chavez with a right-footed toe poke goal. It was Wondolowski's team-leading third goal of 2014 and the ninth goal of his career. USA 2, MEX 0 (SEE GOAL)
MEX - Rafael Marquez (Marco Fabian), 49th minute: Off of Marco Fabian's right-footed corner kick from the left side, Rafael Marquez lost USA center back Omar Gonzalez on the set piece and had an open header from seven yards out, which he promptly placed into the left side of the net for his 15th career goal for Mexico. USA 2, MEX 1
MEX - Alan Pulido (unassisted), 67th minute: Paul Aguilar had the initial attack, with his shot ricocheting off of the left post. Alan Pulido was the quickest to react, converging for the rebound and equalizer. USA 2, MEX 2 (FINAL)

2.2: Prism
Big Finish Alternate Cover (Range Cover Design)
Wild Bengal Slow Loris (Nycticebus bengalensis) also known as the ashy slow loris, Bengal loris, or northern slow loris, is found in southeastern Asia, specifically the countries of Bangladesh, Cambodia (west of the Mekong River), China (southern and western Yunnan Province and possibly southwestern Guangxi Province), northeastern India, Laos, Myanmar, Thailand, and Vietnam. The Bengal slow loris has the largest geographic range of any slow loris species!
Within these countries, the Bengal slow loris can be found in both evergreen forests, and deciduous forests (those whose trees lose their leaves during the colder months), and have also been found in bamboo groves. They have a particular preference for rainforests with dense canopies, and their presence in their native habitat indicates a healthy ecosystem.
The Bengal slow loris measures 10-15 inches (26-38 cm) from head to (stubby) tail, and weighs between 2.2-4.6 lbs (1-2.1 kg). They are, in fact, the largest slow loris species!
Males and females are relatively the same size and look alike. The only way to tell them apart is by their genitalia. Otherwise, the Bengal slow loris exhibits no sexual dimorphism (noticeable physical differences between genders).
Their lifespan in the wild is 15-20 years.
The Bengal slow loris is covered in dense, wooly gray-brown fur on the back and white fur on the underside. A dark stripe runs from the center of the back up to the top of the head. Arched “eyebrows” in a brown fur pattern encircle each eye, evoking an expression of mild surprise. A narrow white strip of fur separates the eyes and extends to a short, faintly pink snout. The forearms and hands are almost white in color. The hindlimbs vary in coloration, ranging from brown to nearly white, while like the hands, the feet are pale. Molting may cause seasonal color variations along the backside.
The Bengal slow loris shares a number of characteristics with other loris species. These include: a wet nose (more on that in the Fun Facts section), a barely-visible vestigial (no longer of use, but still present) tail, a round head with a broad, flat face, short ears, needle-like teeth, and large, saucer-like eyes which reflect a bright orange eye shine.
The big toe on each hind foot faces opposite the other toes, enhancing the “handy-dandy” (haha) gripping power. In addition, the second toe on each hind foot has a curved “toilet claw” which is used for scratching and grooming, while the other toenails are straight.
An omnivore, the Bengal slow loris’s diet primarily consists of fruit, but also includes insects and their larvae, tree gum, snails, spiders, bird eggs, nectar, honey, and small vertebrates such as birds and lizards.
They are especially dependent on sap and tree gum during the winter months.
The Bengal slow loris is nocturnal (active at night) and arboreal, spending most of the time in the trees. They move through the forest quadrupedally (on all fours) with deliberate movements as they forage. That is, they change direction or move between supports without much noise or change in speed. Their hands are supremely adapted to climbing, thanks to their fingers and opposable thumbs which, when clenched together, allow them a pincer-like grip (like a crab or lobster!)
Daytime hours are spent sleeping curled up in a ball in dense vegetation or tree holes. Starting at sunset, nighttime is dedicated to foraging for food. This is where those amazing eyes come in: forward-facing, each eye has stereoscopic vision; in other words, each eye sees a slightly different image of a single perception. Their specialized eyesight gives them an increased awareness of objects through greater depth perception and enhanced “night vision.”
Predators of the Bengal slow loris include pythons, monitor lizards, birds of prey such as hawk-eagles, large cats, and even orangutans! To avoid predators, the Bengal slow loris moves quietly through the trees and can hide within the surroundings. They can also curl into a defensive position, mimic a cobra by swaying back and forth with the arms above the head, or use the markings around the eyes to appear like an even bigger nocturnal predator. If all else fails, Bengal slow lorises use… venom! Yes, that’s right! VENOM! All slow lorises have a special brachial gland near their elbow which produces a toxic oil. When mixed with their saliva, the result is venom, which, while primarily used for communication, can also be used to deliver a dangerous, deadly bite!
Bengal slow lorises use a variety of vocalizations to communicate with one another. Infants use “clicks” to get Mom’s attention or to call her to their parked location if she is out foraging. Upon hearing her baby’s call, the mother will immediately return.
High-pitched whistles are used to attract a mate. These whistles are primarily used by females in estrus (sexually receptivity), but may also be used by males. Females will also supplement their whistling by scent-marking a spot with urine to increase her chances of attracting a male.
Pants ending with a distinct growl precede an attack (that is, before biting the threatening individual). “Chitters” lasting one to two seconds or longer are used in defensive situations when encountering members of the same species (such as two rival males encountering one another).
Like most nocturnal primates, Bengal slow lorises rely on olfactory (scent) cues. Urine is the primary means of communication for the species. Additionally, scientists believe that the brachial gland secretions may be used to mark home ranges, deter predators, or warn other lorises of potential danger.
Bengal slow lorises use their dental combs to groom one another, a tactile (touch) activity that helps to strengthen social bonds. Playtime, particularly between mothers and their babies, also reinforces social bonds.
Bengal slow lorises are polygynandrous (promiscuous) meaning both males and females have multiple partners during the breeding season.
Females attract males by whistling and scent marking when in estrus, and reproduce every 12-18 months. They have a gestation (pregnancy) period of six months, eventually giving birth to one offspring, though rarely, twins may be born. Upon attracting a potential mate, the female will usually hang from a branch by all four limbs to solicit mating. The male positions himself around the female while hanging on the branch with his feet, and clings to the female’s waist with his hands. Upon mating with the female, his task is done, as he plays no role in rearing the offspring.
Bengal slow lorises are year-round breeders, and because of their non-seasonal breeding patterns, females can become pregnant when their offspring are around six months old. This makes it possible for them to produce two offspring per year (if they haven’t already produced twins, obviously).
Infants are born with their eyes open and are covered in fur. The mother carries her young for about three months before they become independent, although they may be temporarily left on branches while the mother forages for food. Weaning usually occurs at six months, and sexual maturity is reached at approximately 20 months of age. The bond between mother and infant is close, as they will bond by playing, and by Mom grooming her infant to reinforce their connection.
As frugivores (fruit-eaters), Bengal slow lorises aid in the regeneration of their forest habitats by dispersing seeds through their feces as they move around the habitat. As a prey species, they also play a role in feeding local predators within the habitat. They additionally play a role in pollination. Like bees and butterflies, they collect pollen from flowers while drinking nectar. They then deposit it on each flower they visit, thereby pollinating the plants. Finally, they can also be considered pest controllers, thanks to their diet consisting of insects and their larvae.
The International Union for Conservation of Nature lists the Bengal slow loris as Endangered (IUCN, 2020), appearing on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.
The Bengal slow loris faces numerous threats to the species’ survival.
Despite being found in numerous protected areas throughout their range, poaching and illegal logging are rampant in these areas, while conservation measures are not species-specific. The most severe threats facing the Bengal slow loris are the wildlife trade (trapping for exotic pets, sport, and use in traditional medicine) and deforestation. Habitat destruction has also occurred through slash-and-burn agriculture (a technique involving the cutting and burning of plants in a forest to create agricultural space). Additional factors in their decline include road construction, dams, soil loss and erosion, and power lines. Hunting has been found to be most severe when nearby human urban populations increase.
One unique threat facing slow lorises is due to a combination of their adorable appearance and the “photo prop trade” marketed toward tourists. The use of slow lorises as “adorable accessories” for photo opportunities among tourists causes unnecessary stress for the poor animals. This trade occurs in some of the Bengal slow loris’s range (especially Thailand), but it is also extending into Europe, in countries such as Turkey, which import the Bengal slow loris for this purpose.
The Bengal slow loris is listed in Appendix I of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES), an international agreement between governments whose goal is to ensure that international trade in specimens of wild animals and plants does not threaten their survival.
Specific wildlife protections have been enacted on behalf of the Bengal slow loris within all of the countries where they reside. However, as is often the case with endangered species, laws created to protect them are largely ignored and difficult to enforce.
While they are found in numerous protected areas, exact population numbers are unknown. Actual surveys, rather than anecdotal reports, are necessary to determine their true abundance in the wild.
Researchers have attempted to draw attention to and reduce the photo prop trade involving Bengal slow lorises. Ongoing campaigns combat the number of illegal social media videos, in which the lorises are heavily exploited. Although conservation education programs exist across parts of their range, in most areas these are sporadic or even non-existent. A more coordinated effort among conservation organizations within their range would be immensely helpful. Currently, no education programs are known in Laos or Myanmar.
Rescue centers across their range maintain facilities for confiscated animals, particularly in Cambodia, Thailand, Vietnam, and Laos. Attempts have been made to release these rescued lorises, although they are often unmonitored, and therefore, it is difficult to assess the success of these releases, and their contribution to Bengal slow loris conservation. Following the protocols set forth by the IUCN Reintroduction Specialists Group is critical to assess the impact of these reintroductions. Furthermore, considering that the Bengal slow loris can be found near human settlements, translocating lorises should not be done without a proper understanding of their distribution and ecology in an area.
Ultimately, more strictly enforced laws and protection of (and within) the lands in which the Bengal slow loris resides, along with increased public awareness, education, and communications are critically needed. These actions, alongside additional research regarding the Bengal slow loris’s population size, distribution, and trends, and monitoring of population trends are needed to save the species from the threat of extinction.

Ministerial Conference on Nuclear Science and Technology: Addressing Current and Emerging Development Challenges. IAEA, Vienna, Austria. 29 November 2018
SESSION 2: Addressing Climate Change Challenges
PANEL 2.2: Monitoring and mitigation of the impact of climate change
Climate change is a global challenge that will impact all countries. Extreme temperatures, floods and droughts are becoming more frequent. Changes in food growth patterns are slowly becoming apparent. New human and animal diseases are appearing in regions where they used to be absent. In this session, the Conference will focus on the applications of nuclear science and technology to monitor environmental changes to the ecosystems and to adapt to new climate realities. Taking into account the discussions of the International Ministerial Conference on Nuclear Power in the 21st Century, held in Abu Dhabi from 30 October to 1 November 2017, the Conference will discuss the role of nuclear power in climate change mitigation, which many Member States consider to be an important option in this context. The discussion will include the role the IAEA should play in raising awareness and further enhancing the application of nuclear techniques in addressing climate change challenges.

Newly restored Standard class 2 2-6-0 no. 78018 comes past the signals at the south end of the loops at Swithland on the Great Central Railway with the 11:30 Loughborough - Leicester train on Thursday, 6th. October 2016.
The sun has performed its usual trick and illuminates the back of the train and not the front.
Junk Jet n°4 was combing through studios, laboratories, and garages to find those works and theories that make 1 become 2, 2 become 3, 3 …, works that make something out of nothing or nothing out of something, that discover new – even if microscaled – galaxies, that believe in alchemy and maintain a certain kind of apocalyptic thought; works that move from mumbo-jumbo to real magic and back.
Junk Jet daydreamt of alga plantations, crystal architectures, optical jamboree, synthetic foam buildings, multimagic rainbow colorings, of all that has the potential to question contemporary design and architecture and its statistical rationality. Junk Jet nightdreamt of something that has the potential to fluidize what has become monumental, of something that speculates on speculation. Something that is able to create an alternative universe, in which thrilling transformation, mystic metamorphosis, and insane invention build up a modern wunderkammer, a visionary show window and a living laboratory. It asked for contributions from those who turn the everyday into the unique and the ordinary into the xxxxxxtra-ordaniary.

A long, long time ago I can still remember how that music used to make me smile
And I knew if I had my chance
That I could make those people dance
And maybe they'd be happy for a while.
But February made me shiver
With every paper I delivered,
Bad news on the door step,
I couldn't take one more step,
I can't remember if I cried
When I read about his widowed bride
But something touched me deep inside,
The day, the music, died.
So
Bye, bye Miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
Them good ol' boys were drinkin' whiskey 'n' rye
Singin this will be the day that I die.
This will be the day that I die

U.S. MNT DRAWS WITH MEXICO 2-2 IN FRONT OF 59,066 IN GLENDALE, ARIZ.
Michael Bradley and Chris Wondolowski Score First-Half Goals for USA
GLENDALE, Ariz. (April 2, 2014) - Sporting their new away kits for the first time in 2014, the U.S. Men's National Team players played to a 2-2 draw against longtime rival Mexico in front of 59,066 fans at University of Phoenix Stadium. The USA scored twice in the first half with Michael Bradley scoring the game's opening goal and then assisting Chris Wondolowski's team-leading third goal of the year. The USA increased its unbeaten streak to five games against Mexico (2-0-3 during its current stretch). The U.S. had held Mexico scoreless for 392 straight minutes until Rafael Marquez's 49th-minute goal.
Goal Scoring Rundown:
USA - Michael Bradley (Graham Zusi), 15th minute: Graham Zusi, on the game's first corner kick, delivered a perfect ball from the left side as Michael Bradley separated himself from Mexico defender Jesus Eduardo Zavala at the far right post. Bradley played the ball off a short hop and directed it into the net for his 12th career goal. It also marked the third time that Bradley scored off of a corner kick assist against Mexico. USA 1, MEX 0 (SEE GOAL)
USA - Chris Wondolowski (Michael Bradley), 28th minute: The USA's sharp passing from midfielders Graham Zusi and Clint Dempsey led to an attack from the right side as Tony Beltran crossed from the right flank. Michael Bradley flicked a header to the left side of the box, where Chris Wondolowski snuck behind Mexico's Rogelio Alfredo Chavez with a right-footed toe poke goal. It was Wondolowski's team-leading third goal of 2014 and the ninth goal of his career. USA 2, MEX 0 (SEE GOAL)
MEX - Rafael Marquez (Marco Fabian), 49th minute: Off of Marco Fabian's right-footed corner kick from the left side, Rafael Marquez lost USA center back Omar Gonzalez on the set piece and had an open header from seven yards out, which he promptly placed into the left side of the net for his 15th career goal for Mexico. USA 2, MEX 1
MEX - Alan Pulido (unassisted), 67th minute: Paul Aguilar had the initial attack, with his shot ricocheting off of the left post. Alan Pulido was the quickest to react, converging for the rebound and equalizer. USA 2, MEX 2 (FINAL)

In 1960, Facel entered the sports car market with the Facellia, a small car similar in size to the then popular Mercedes 190SL. Facellias were advertised in three body styles: cabriolet, 2+2 coupé and 4-seat coupé — all with the same mechanicals and a 2,450 mm (96.5 in) wheelbase. Styling was similar to the Facel HK500, but with rather elegant (though fingernail-breaking) flush door handles. Following Facel Vega's demise several of M Daninos's styling cues were "borrowed" by Mercedes-Benz. Prices were roughly US$4,000 for the Facellia, US$5,500 for the Facel III and US$6,000 for the Facel 6.
The small Facellia met with little success and the losses from this, due to strong competition at the luxury end of the market, killed off the company. Facel left the car market completely in 1964. What was, according to some, the best small Facel, the Facel 6, which used an Austin Healey 2.8-litre engine, came too late to save the company, fewer than 30 having been produced when the French government scuttled the endeavour.

Die Facellia und ihre Nachfolger erreichten die höchsten Stückzahlen (1258 Exemplare), gilt jedoch gemeinhin als der „Totengräber“ der Marke. Es handelte sich um kleine Coupés und Cabriolets, die unterhalb des Facel II angesiedelt waren. Jean Daninos wollte die Abrundung der Modellpalette mit einem preiswerten Einsteigermodell und höheren Stückzahlen erreichen. Sein Plan war, einen rein französischen Sportwagen zu bauen, weil er glaubte, damit höheren Käuferzuspruch zu erlangen. Drei Serien wurden produziert, die sich im Wesentlichen durch die Wahl der Motorisierung unterschieden.
