The hood is designed to help coronavirus patients who don’t yet need a ventilator, but who are experiencing breathing troubles. The hood forces oxygen into patients with mild coronavirus symptoms, minimizing the likelihood that the patient will need to use a ventilator.

This report contains a synopsis of sexual assault cases taken to trial by court-martial. The information contained herein is a matter of public record. This is the final report of this nature the Air Force will produce. All results of general and special courts-martial for trials occurring after 1 April 2015 will be available on the Air Force’s Court-Martial Docket Website (www.afjag.af.mil/docket/index.asp). SIGNIFICANT AIR FORCE SEXUAL ASSAULT CASE SUMMARIES 2010 – March 2015 Note: This report lists cases involving a conviction for a sexual assault offense committed against an adult and also includes cases where a sexual assault offense against an adult was charged and the member was either acquitted of a sexual assault offense or the sexual assault offense was dismissed, but the member was convicted of another offense involving a victim. The Air Force publishes these cases for deterrence purposes. Sex offender registration requirements are governed by Department of Defense policy in compliance with federal and state sex offender registration requirements. Not all convictions included in this report require sex offender registration. Beginning with July 2014 cases, this report also indicates when a victim was represented by a Special Victims’ Counsel. Under the Uniform Code of Military Justice, sexual assaults against those 16 years of age and older are charged as crimes against adults. The appropriate disposition of sexual assault allegations and investigations may not always include referral to trial by court-martial. -

The $9 million Inyokern Airport Reconstruct Runway 2-20 project has been awarded by the Indian Wells Valley Airport District. Granite is responsible for the removal and reconstruction of runway 2-20. The existing runway will be recycled onsite and used for 12,700 cubic yards of recycled base under the new runway. Granite’s new Solari and Big Rock construction materials facilities will supply hot mix asphalt and aggregate base for the project. This contract will be included in Granite’s fourth quarter 2020 backlog. “Granite looks forward to partnering with the Indian Wells Valley Airport District to revitalize Inyokern’s runway,” said Granite Regional Vice President Larry Camilleri. “This project is a significant win for our Solari and Big Rock facilities which will supply 30,000 tons of hot mix asphalt and 43,000 tons of aggregate base for this important project.” Construction is scheduled to begin in November 2020 and expected be complete in June 2021.

Electrical Hints and Tips for Solar Car Challenge Race Teams
Electrical Hints and Tips for Solar Car Challenge Race Teams Revision 1.0 - August 28, 2013. By Dan Lepinski, Solar Engineer In the Public Domain To: All Teams Participating in the Solar Car Challenge .. Past, Present, and Future... Purpose: Suggestions and Comments for Improved Design and Assembly of Solar Cars Introduction By way of introduction, my name is Dan Lepinski. I’m a professional solar energy engineer. 2013 is my 41 st year of involvement in the solar energy industry where I continue to serve as a design engineer, consultant, and advisor. I had the pleasure and frustration of accompanying the 2013 race from Fort Worth, Texas to Los Angeles, California. My role was that of a volunteer. I provided solar-generated 120 volt AC electrical power for any team that needed it for repairs or other purposes along the way. I accomplished this with a large “solar” trailer, which was capable of powering the largest welders and compressors used by any team. 11 of the 14 teams participating in the 2013 Solar Car Challenge used power from my equipment along the race route for their welders, grinders, compressors, drills, saws, and more. They did whatever was necessary to make their cars roadworthy again. Some teams worked for up to an hour or more at a time to effect changes and repairs. It’s not important they used my equipment for this purpose. The important thing to remember ... every 2013 team succeeded in finishing the race. While repairs were underway by various teams, I had an opportunity to view their solar car wiring and construction in detail. -
Next-Generation Solar Power Dutch Technology for the Solar Energy Revolution Next-Generation High-Tech Excellence
Next-generation solar power Dutch technology for the solar energy revolution Next-generation high-tech excellence Harnessing the potential of solar energy calls for creativity and innovative strength. The Dutch solar sector has been enabling breakthrough innovations for decades, thanks in part to close collaboration with world-class research institutes and by fostering the next generation of high-tech talent. For example, Dutch student teams have won a record ten titles in the World Solar Challenge, a biennial solar-powered car race in Australia, with students from Delft University of Technology claiming the title seven out of nine times. 2 Solar Energy Guide 3 Index The sunny side of the Netherlands 6 Breeding ground of PV technology 10 Integrating solar into our environment 16 Solar in the built environment 18 Solar landscapes 20 Solar infrastructure 22 Floating solar 24 Five benefits of doing business with the Dutch 26 Dutch solar expertise in brief 28 Company profiles 30 4 Solar Energy Guide The Netherlands, a true solar country If there’s one thing the Dutch are remarkably good at, it’s making the most of their natural circumstances. That explains how a country with a relatively modest amount of sunshine has built a global reputation as a leading innovator in solar energy. For decades, Dutch companies and research institutes have been among the international leaders in the worldwide solar PV sector. Not only with high-level fundamental research, but also with converting this research into practical applications. Both by designing and refining industrial production processes, and by developing and commercialising innovative solutions that enable the integration of solar PV into a product or environment with another function. -
Foxato's Forum Magazine 13 °Volume Ufficiale
FOXATO'S FORUM MAGAZINE 13 °VOLUME UFFICIALE >> Premessa << Ciao amici miei. Torna il nostro caro magazine che rappresenta ancora una volta un riassunto della voce della famiglia che vuole ancora farsi sentire. Anche durante questa calda estate 2010 la musica non è mancata. Essa ci ha fatto compagnia in modo immenso su Foxato's Radio per tutti questi mesi. Abbiam assistito alla chiusura della vecchia e al ritorno della nuova stagione. Eventi per una maniera o per un'altra indimenticabili a dir poco . Quest'oggi il numero sarà incentrato principalmente su: -News musicali. -Scoperta di nuovi generi e alternative. -Album imperdibili. -Anticipazioni eventi nuova stagione. -Aggiornamento sezioni. Se siete pronti direi di partire subito con le news musicali. Ne sono molte da parte del sottoscritto e anche da parte del nostro amico aguzza_l'ingegno :-) :: Ringraziamenti iniziali a coloro che fan sì che la famiglia prosegua ancora al meglio :: :: NEWS MUSICALI ATTUALMENTE IN PROGRAMMAZIONE SU FOXATO’S RADIO :: Rileggendo lo scorso numero mi è venuta spontanea una riflessione su come siamo capaci (nel nostro piccolo) di rendere una marea di pezzi come delle vere e proprie colonne sonore di vita, in un'era dove si tende solamente a sputtanare la musica in tutti i sensi. E' un mondo che prosegue sempre di più verso una direzione disastrosa, eppure riesco ancora a considerarmi soddisfatto e fiero di ciò che con amore e passione conduco giornalmente su Foxato's Radio. E anche questo mese citiamo proprio la nostra oasi musicale come punto di partenza delle news musicali dato che non c'è miglior cosa che fare il punto della situazione su molteplici canzoni in programmazione. -

I guess this is so because it is a prelude to summer, my favorite time of the year. I have never abandoned the idea that summer is synonymous of beach time and vacation. Even if I don’t really go on vacations and I am working hard, during summer I feel like I am on vacation. This is especially true living in Palmas. During summer time Palmas become more vibrant and effervescent than ever, the water gets warmer and the beach is full with families and friends. With April come the Easter activities, PHA week, then mother’s day and...my birthday (no need for me to go into details). This year we will also have, very close to us, The Thunderbird’s air show; an exquisite concert called Duos de Amor with three important sopranos and tenors; and many other activities, please check the “Don’t Miss” it page.
