Controversial Oil Tycoon Moves to Shake Up Argo Blockchain Board | Electronic Quality Control

Interesting piece. I very much like the certification of the watches mechanical performance, after all it is a measuring device.

But the score met instantly with an array of criticisms, from worries that it created a new cast of winners and losers in the admissions process, to concerns that it papered over an inherently flawed test. College counselors said they were swamped with calls from parents on Thursday as word of the new measurement got out.

The size of objects that could be printed using stereolithography were limited by the wavelength of the light being sent through the optic lens — or the so-called diffraction limit — which is roughly 400 nanometers. Fang and his team were the first researchers to break this limit.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has said that Ukraine is planning an "armed provocation" in Crimea by the end of the year which justifies Kremlin actions including sending fighter aircraft to the territory Moscow illegally annexed in 2014.

Lifeguards and the union filed a grievance against the city’s Department of Recreation and Parks on Monday over the conditions at the facility in Lake View Terrace, accusing officials of “turning a blind-eye to lifeguards’ concerns over the water quality.” The union said the city had restricted access to the lake for years, except in cases of emergency, until the training the weekend of April 27.

Last month, Russian warships captured three Ukrainian naval vessels as they crossed through the strategic Kerch Strait, detaining 24 sailors on board. Russian authorities accused the Ukrainian vessels of military provocations.

The ability to pattern features this small using 3-D printing holds countless applications. One use for the technology Fang has been researching is the creation of a small foam-like structure that could be used as a substrate for catalytic conversion in automotive engines. This structure could treat greenhouse gases on a molecular level in the moments after an engine starts.

“Our family has been through hell for the past three years, and we have been granted a reprieve only after we transferred out of Central,” the mother said.

Guliani said that, ideally, Congress would pass clear legislation on how new surveillance technology should be used at the border, but so far, that hasn’t happened.

For CBP, a major flaw of these military-grade drones is their high cost. They run around $17 million each and cost around $12,255 per flight hour to operate. Every time CBP uses a drone to apprehend an individual suspected of crossing the border illegally, it costs the federal government $32,000, compared to an average cost of less than $9,000 for other types of surveillance that could lead to an apprehension, according to analysis of publicly available data from the libertarian think tank Cato Institute from the years 2013 to 2016.
