Covering 3.9 million acres, including over 445,000 acres of water, northeastern Minnesota is covered by dense forests, freckled with lakes, and veined by rivers and streams. The entire region is defined by water and the interconnectedness it provides. Northeastern Minnesota is a living, breathing ecosystem feeding water into Lake Superior, Lake Winnipeg, and Hudson Bay. It is also a major hotspot for observing the effects of climate change, where the impacts are resonating through its core. There are three major components to the story of the northeastern Minnesota: natural history, climate change, and socioeconomic interest. The region is wild Minnesota, it includes the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (BWCAW), which draws visitors from across the world and is Minnesota's most popular wilderness area. This is one of Minnesota's most prized treasures and part of the state's most valued natural resources. This all stands to disappear from our backyard and shift over 300 miles northeast. The main driver being climate change, which displaces species endemic to boreal forests due to increased temperatures and overall degradation of the boreal ecosystem. Other issues, such as mining, could have localized impacts on the region if industry safeguards fail, potentially leading to pollution flowing through the wilderness, Lake Superior, Lake Winnipeg, and Hudson Bay. The history and the future of northeastern Minnesota is complex. I have been exploring, studying, and photographing this region for almost two decades. I have committed my life to this region. By combining my education, immense exploration, my passion for photography and wilderness I am determined to document the relationship the communities, tourists, scientists, and wildlife all share: a dependence on natural and protected greenspaces. Minnesota has numerous species which have begun to decline. The three most iconic wildlife species that are threatened by climate change are the moose, loon, and lynx. Moose are arguably most at threat. With a decrease in population of 60% over their historic range, moose are facing addition to the Endangered Species list in the Midwest. Four additional threats are affecting moose as well: a warming climate, northward movement of white-tailed deer into suitable moose habitat, parasites that are introduced by deer, and predators. Camera traps will be used to illustrate the spatial overlap of moose and white-tailed deer. Relevant research will be documented as well. The second iconic species in northeastern Minnesota is the common loon, Minnesota's state bird. The common loon is projected to be gone from our waters as soon as 2080. The summer range of these birds will shift over 300 miles northeast with the boreal forest boundary. Minnesota is the land of 10,000 lakes and the loss of the loon and their song will leave a haunting void in every Minnesotan's heart. A combination of traditional and underwater photography, along with science communication will be pursued to illustrate issues both above and below the water. Relevant research will be documented as well. The Canada lynx is the third threatened wildlife species in northeastern Minnesota. Shallow snow depths have resulted in bobcats moving northward, which outcompete and hybridize with lynx. These cats are also dependent upon early successional forests. Their prey relies on coniferous forests and without them, population density of snowshoe hare decreases and subsequently, the lynx. Camera traps will be used to document lynx in preferred habitat in contrast with forest succession, and the spatial overlap between bobcats and lynx. Relevant research will be documented as well. In areas of major disturbance, such as climate change induced blowdowns, logging sites, or extreme heat fires that burn canopies of boreal forests I will deploy time lapse cameras (10 initially, ideally 20) for a the remainder of my life. Each system will be left in the same location for the duration of the project. The cameras will capture one image a day year-round. Each year the images from each camera will be compiled into a time-lapse video to depict real-time forest succession, this will take many years for the changes to become evident. High numbers of cameras will be used to compensate for system failures and environmental damages.

Ethics Report Finds Elaine Chao Used Trump Cabinet Post to Promote Family Interests Posted byamongthefray March 4, 2021 Posted inNews, US NewsTags:China, Corruption, Elaine Chao, government, Mitch McConnell, Transportation, US The inspector generals are coming for Trump World! For an administration with a historic aversion to ethics and the propriety of public service, there has been a lot for these internal governmental watchdogs to dig in to. Mar 4, 2021: Rachel Maddow shares details of an inspector general report finding that Trump Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao misused her office and referring her to the Department of Justice for potential prosecution. Chao is at least the fourth Trump Cabinet member referred to the DOJ. On Wednesday, the inspector general at the lowly old Transportation Department, perhaps the least glamorous of all the cabinet gigs, released its report outlining the ways in which former Secretary Elaine Chao managed to use the position to deploy public resources to benefit her family. The instances of wrongdoing were not particularly subtle and the department watchdog referred the case to the Department of Justice late last year for possible criminal prosecution. The Justice Department, in the final weeks of the Trump administration, declined to advance the case. The day after the Transportation Dept's watchdog office referred Elaine Chao to DOJ for potential prosecution, her husband, then-Senate Majority @LeaderMcConnell pushed to confirm a new head for that watchdog officehttps://t.co/KhQer1uBE4https://t.co/8LL0ryVLFu pic.twitter.com/hXunnncNvK — Nick Schwellenbach (@schwellenbach) March 4, 2021 Most of Chao's questionable behavior revolved around her father, James Chao, and his shipping business, the Foremost Group, which made its mark transporting raw materials, like coal and iron, to China, and continues to do extensive work with Chinese state-owned businesses. The Shanghai-born patriarch of the family started the business after emigrating to the U.S. in the 1950s, but has since turned the operation over to Chao's younger sister, Angela Chao. As the secretary of Transportation, Elaine Chao was charged with overseeing the American shipping industry. For starters, investigators said that Chao routinely asked government employees to help her father in a number of ways, from updating his Wikipedia page to promoting his biography, and even building a public relations strategy for the longtime shipping magnate. Chao also made highly questionable moves, such as giving an interview, as a cabinet-level public official, to a Chinese-language TV station that resembled an informercial about her father's success and business acumen. The interview was conducted at the New York City headquarters of the Foremost Group. Then there was the proposed 2017 trip to China for the Chao family that raised ethics concerns and was ultimately cancelled. From the New York Times: The investigators found that Ms. Chao had used her staff to arrange details for Mr. Chao's trip to China in October 2017, including asking, through the State Department, for China's Transport Ministry to arrange for two cars for a six-person delegation, which included Ms. Chao's younger sister Angela Chao, who had succeeded their father as head of the family shipping company, and Angela Chao's husband, the venture capitalist Jim Breyer. The trip had been scheduled to include stops at locations in China that had received financial support from the company and also a meeting with "top leaders" in China that was to include Elaine Chao's father and sister, but not other members of Transportation Department staff. Chao pushed back against accusations of misusing her office by chalking it up to cultural differences, pointing to a memo outlining the importance of promoting her father as part of her governmental work. "Anyone familiar with Asian culture knows it is a core value in Asian communities to express honor and filial respect toward one's parents," the September 2020 memo said. "Asian audiences welcome and respond positively to actions by the secretary that include her father in activities when appropriate." https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2021/03/transportation-ig-report-elaine-chao-cabinet-post-promote-family-interests.html Published by amongthefray News with a historical perspective.

Democrats' primary focus: Arizona's 6th Congressional District By Bob Christie Dr. Hiral Tipirneni and GOP incumbent Rep. David Schweikert GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) — Arizona voters go to the polls August 4 to cast ballots in primary races for nine seats in the U.S. House, but much of the attention will be on the Democratic primary in 6th Congressional District. Democrats see the 6th District, a Republican stronghold which covers much of north Phoenix, Paradise Valley, Fountain Hills and Scottsdale, as winnable because of a long-running ethics investigation into five-term GOP incumbent Rep. David Schweikert. The House Ethics Committee investigation was wrapped up July 30, with Schweikert admitting to 11 violations and agreeing to pay a $50,000 fine. The panel concluded he used congressional staff in his campaigns, pressured them to do political work and received gifts or a loan from an employee, and that he committed a series of campaign finance violations. Schweikert had denied wrongdoing, but took responsibility for the problems in a letter to the committee that also said he agreed to settle the case in part because it was "was time consuming and extremely costly." He's unopposed in the Republican primary, but used tens of thousands in campaign funds to hire lawyers, leaving him underfunded for a real challenge. That challenge is coming from four Democrats, one of whom will emerge Tuesday to take on Schweikert in November. They include Dr. Hiral Tipirneni, a physician who lost special and general election efforts in 2018 to win the GOP-heavy 8th District but earned strong name identification and has far outraised the other three Democrats on the ballot. She's running television campaign ads that don't mention the other Democrats. Another top contender is tech entrepreneur Anita Malik, who challenged Schweikert in 2018. Rounding out the field are business owner Stephanie Rimmer and Karl Gentles, a public relations agency owner, who are less well known in the district. Malik lost by 10 percentage points in 2018, but along with Tipirneni is considered a top contender. She said the base of support she built in that race and voter discontent with President Donald Trump make the 6th District winnable for Democrats. "It is really possible and it is just math," Malik said of beating Schweikert in November, noting that some Republicans are turned off by Trump. "If you can get the registered Dems and the registered independents to come out and have that turnout that can match and hopefully exceed the Republicans, plus pull over some Republicans, it is very doable," she said. "It really is an independent district and its up to the independents." Despite Tipirnini's huge fundraising edge, Malik thinks she can win and that she is in the best position to tell voters how Schweikert has failed the district on economic issues. "I think I'm the one that can really speak to those issues and go head to head with him on those issues," she said. Tipirneni said she's focused on beating Schweikert in November and has raised $2.5 million compared with Malik's $244,000. "The goal is to beat David Schweikert and I'm not looking to knock any of my fellow Democrats," Tipirneni said. "It's up to me to make my case to the voters, and that's what I have done and that's what I will continue to do to earn their support." She is again focusing on health care as the major issue in the race, an issue Democrats see as a winning argument. "Folks are still very much concerned about access to affordable quality healthcare, about the affordability of their medications, their prescriptions drugs," Tipirneni said. "There's still very much of a crisis and as long as there's a crisis I'm ready to fight on behalf of all Arizonans." Malik said she thinks the race will be close, but is happy with her position in the final week of a coronavirus-truncated campaign. "I think a four-way split will naturally make that happen, but we have a very strong base in place," she said. Schweikert's political consultant, Chris Baker, said Democrats have a hard road ahead. "It's going to be very difficult for them to win CD6," he said Thursday. In other congressional primaries, Democratic Rep. Tom O'Halleran is trying to fend off a challenge in the sprawling 1st District, a swing district that leans Democratic. The moderate Democrat is being challenged in the primary by former Flagstaff City Councilwoman Eva Putzova, a progressive champion. On the GOP ticket is Tiffany Shedd, an Eloy farmer, and Nolan Reidhead, a lawyer and Payson native who lives outside the district, in Tucson. Another battle is in southern Arizona's 2nd District, which also leans Democratic and where incumbent Rep. Ann Kirkpatrick faces only token opposition from political newcomer Peter Quilter. The GOP hopes to wrest away the district, putting up Brandon Martin, Morgan Joseph and Noran Eric Ruden. Martin lost in the district's 2018 primary, Joseph works for a local community college and Ruden is a business owner. Rounding out the competitive congressional races is the Republican primary in the 9th District, a Democratic stronghold that takes in Tempe and parts of the eastern Phoenix suburbs. Democratic Rep. Greg Stanton faces no primary opposition, but three Republicans are vying for the chance to take him on in November. They are Gilbert business consultant Dave Giles, Chandler City Councilman Sam Huang and Phoenix pharmacist Nicholas Tutora. Voters also will decide primaries in the 3rd, 4th, 5th, 7th and 8th congressional districts, where incumbents either have no opponents or appear certain to advance to November. FOX 10 Voter Guide: 2020 Arizona Primary election Early voting for the primary election started on July 8 when ballots were mailed to voters on the Permanent Early Voting List, voters who requested a ballot-by-mail and in-person early voting at county recorders' offices and other designated early voting locations.

Subsea & Seismic - Hydrographic Survey Determination of real-time tide information using GPS David Russell and Pieter Toor report on developments in the offshore positioning and navigation markets. Real-time observation of tidal variations using high-accuracy global positioning systems (GPS) offers many benefits over conventional methods, ie the deployment of tide gauges or the use of tidal prediction software. Veripos Tides uses highly stable and accurate positions from the Veripos Ultra positioning service. The service is based around a positioning technique known as Precise Point Positioning that minimises or removes all of the main GPS errors sources such as satellite orbit, satellite clock, troposphere, ionosphere and multi-path. Since the service provides the user with real-time decimetre level accuracies it is possible to use these positions to detect height variations relative to a vertical reference offshore. To achieve this, the real-time tide estimation process has to manage height variations caused by vessel motion and by inaccuracies in the GPS position calculation process. Information and results are presented to the user via numerical and graphical displays within the Veripos Verify-QC software. Vertical reference terminology - Mean Sea Surface (MSS). Represents the height of the ocean surface (measured from the surface of some reference ellipsoid), averaged over some specific time interval (and corrected for ocean and earth tides). MSS models are based on data provided by altimetry satellites. - Mean Sea Level (MSL). There are two different interpretations: 1. In geodesy, MSL usually means the local height, ie vertical offset, of the global Mean Sea Surface above a level reference surface called the Geoid; 2. In tidal analysis, MSL means the still water level averaged over a period of time (eg, month or year) so periodic changes in sea level (eg, tides) are also averaged out. MSL values are measured with respect to the level of benchmarks on land. As such a change in MSL can result from either a real change in sea level or a change in the height of the land on which the tide gauge is located (eg, from isostatic rebound). - Geoid. A surface over which the gravity potential is constant (ie, water does not 'flow' on the Geoid but it remains in equilibrium). It also is the equipotential surface of the Earth's gravity field which best fits, in a least squares sense, global MSS. - Dynamic Ocean Topography (DOT). Difference between MSS and the Geoid. It originates from the fact that the major ocean circulation has a time-invariant non-zero component (ie, a component that does not average to zero over time). If the oceans were static and not affected by winds and air pressure, MSS and Geoid would be the same surfaces. However, steady currents in the ocean driven by winds and atmospheric heating and cooling, give rise to differences in sea level around the world. These local differences between the Geoid and MSS are described by the Dynamic Ocean Topography whose values can range between -2.5m and +1.2 m. Therefore, Geoid models like EGM96 and EGM2008 can be considered an approximation of MSS, but only to the 2-3m level. Verify-QC does not consider chart datums and therefore can't convert tidal values relative to MSS to other tidal references like Lowest Astronomical Tide (LAT). The relationship between Chart Datum/LAT and MSS is a vertical offset 'Z0' which can only be determined by deploying a seabed tide gauge and logging over at least two Lunar Cycles. Z0 is not constant and varies from place to place and the vertical offset between LAT and MSS is published for specific ports around the world in the Admiralty Tide Publications. The Veripos Tides process provides two real-time tide observations relative to different vertical references. The first method estimates the tide relative to a Geoid Model, either EGM96 or EGM2008, which is a global approximation of MSS. This observation, called Geoid Tide, is available instantaneously and is suitable for short projects. The second method first derives MSS using a VERIPOS Tide filter and then estimates the tide relative to this surface. This observation, called Ultra Tide, is independent of uncertainties in the Geoid model. It requires 39 hours of continuous data and is only suitable for longer-term offshore projects. The Ultra Tide observation is more accurate since its vertical reference (MSS) is accurate to the cm level. The Veripos Tides estimates provide the real-time total variation from a vertical reference (MSS for Ultra Tide or EGM model for Geoid Tide). The fact is that the sea surface varies not only due to tidal effects but also due to additional effects like atmospheric effects (variations in pressure and wind) which in extreme cases will cause tidal surges. The benefit of estimating a real-time total variation from a vertical reference is that a single vertical correction can be applied to marine survey depth information. In addition, the system allows tides to be estimated at a high frequency (every minute) such that a very detailed sea surface variation pattern can be derived.

If I could live in a world of Octobers I'd do it. I'd give up the summer (too hot), the winter (too cold) and the spring (too wet). My wardrobe would consist entirely of flannel and knee high boots. And my hand would always be holding an autumn cocktail (or PSL). Maybe I'd get bored after awhile but it would take a long time. Fall flavors are the best, you can't beat apple or pumpkin. They're both cozy and versatile, you can make them spicy or sweet to fit your tastes. They play well with other flavors so your options are limitless. Autumn flavors aren't limited to apples and pumpkins. Pears, cranberries, quince, pomegranates and persimmons start to sneak into the farmer's markets and grocery stores. Don't forget the spices that make everything smell like fall like cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice and cloves. It's the time of year where everything turns into a get together, from small gathers for the last campfire of the year to harvest festivals. I think autumn cocktails should be enjoyed all year round but they really shine from September though Christmas (there's a lot of overlap in fall and winter flavors) and you need lots of variety to keep things interesting!

Farmers For Free Trade Motorcade Stops In Indiana By Samantha Horton U.S. Rep. Jim Baird (R-Covington) speaks on a panel encouraging Congress to pass the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement. (Samantha Horton/IPB News) A bipartisan farming group is touring the country to build support for the newly proposed trade agreement between the U.S., Canada and Mexico. The motorcade rolled into west central Indiana Wednesday to talk with farmers, industry leaders and lawmakers. The Farmers For Free Trade group hosted a panel discussion, passed out t-shirts, buttons and yard signs. Organization co-director Angela Hofmann says the goal of the 3,000 plus mile touris getting farmers involved in encouraging their lawmakers to pass the United States-Mexico-Canada-Agreement (USMCA). "This is such a critical time in agriculture, particularly with this new NAFTA, the USMCA, that we felt that we needed to get into the heartland to have that conversation in the communities, in the farms, in the facilities that are really affected by this trade agreement," says Hofmann. Indiana's agricultural exports to Mexico and Canada totaled about $816 million last year supports more than 6,000 Hoosier jobs, according to economic think tank The Trade Partnership. Hoosier farmer Brent Bible says the ongoing trade disputes and tariffs make it difficult to turn a profit. "We can't continue to produce a product that we can't sell above the cost of production and that's where we're at today," says Bible. He hopes to see the trade agreement passed so prices stabilize. "The important thing is that we just need it done," says Bible. "The absence of an agreement and the fact that there are tariffs in place because of the absence of the agreement is creating too much uncertainty." U.S. Rep. Jim Baird (R-Covington) serves on the agriculture committee and says he believes the trade agreement will be ratified. "The agriculture provides the foundation in these rural communities and the dollars that they generate and the communities that they support is invaluable to the whole state, it's invaluable to our country," says Baird. While all three partner country's leaders have signed the new trade agreement, it must get legislative approval from each country.

They're suited to harsh industrial environments, and, as the name suggests, can be wall mounted. They're designed primarily for use with power tools. How do wall mount transformers work? Transformers themselves are used to bring voltage up or down in an AC electrical circuit. A transformer can also be used to convert AC power to DC power. The sturdy encasement of a wall mount transformer helps to protect the transformer inside from dust and moisture. It also provides extra resistance against shock and vibration for added safety. Fitting your wall mount transformer is simple. First, you need to mark the top anchor location on the wall and drill a hole using, for instance, a cordless drillThen insert the anchor and fit the screw into the anchor leaving approximately an eighth of thread exposed on the screw. Finally, mount the transformer on the screw, tighten and complete for the other anchors.

Q: Python URL decoding? In javascript I do the following: encodeURIComponent(comments) while in Python i do the following: urllib2.unquote(comments) For some reason, when I do the following: encodedURIComponents('ø') I get %C3%B8, but when I decode urllib2.unquote('%C3%B8') I get ø instead of ø, which is the original character. What gives? I'm on a platform that uses jQuery on client side, and Python/Django server side. A: Simply try to decode it: urllib2.unquote('%C3%B8').decode('utf-8') # --> 'ø'

(AP) — Mexican and Canadian officials are stressing that talks on the North American Free Trade Agreement will remain a three-way negotiation, despite suggestions by U.S. President Donald Trump that he might pursue separate trade deals with both countries. Visiting Canadian Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland also stressed that NAFTA is a three-country agreement. She said that Canada also opposes a "sunset" clause proposed by Trump that would allow countries to opt out of the pact every five years. Freeland also met Wednesday with Mexican President-elect Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, who will take office on Dec. 1.

Hi all, Just checked out the demo of 2.4 the other day, and it's really nice. Then I saw 8 track, and thought it would be a cool way to check out the software more, but I can't figure out how to run 8 track instead of the demo. I re-downloaded Bitwig studio from the 8 track page and installed it, but when I log in it just acts like the main version did in demo mode. Is there something I can do to get a code for it? It's not in the store as far as I can see. 8-Track usually comes bundled with something, like hardware or whatever, however Computer Music magazine out of the UK had a copy with issue 264, along with some other software and some instructional videos, on a DVD bundled with the magazine. You can either try and find a mint-in-package physical copy, or you can grab the digital issue from Zinio for about US$5 and get the issue itself -- which has a great Bitwig introductory tutorial -- and all the other DVD content except the videos. It's well worth it, totally above board, and it's how I got my 8-Track license. Breath Control (CC#2) in BWS 1.3.x/8-Track?

PolarCoordinates Like the rectangular coordinate system, the polar coordinate system is used to represent data graphically. This coordinate system is specified in terms of some point, called a pole, and some ray with a vertex at the pole, called a polar axis. The pole is usually chosen to be where the point (0,0) would be in the rectangular coordinate system, and the polar axis is usually co-incident with the positive x-axis. The coordinate system itself (without data) is divided by radial lines (in units or Y) and concentric circles (in units of θ). Although the X- and Y-axes are often drawn or printed in a polar coordinate system, this is typically only for reference and clarity. In the polar coordinate system, a point is specified by an ordered pair (r,θ ), called polar coordinates, where r is the point's radial distance from the pole, and θ is the point's angular distancefrom the polar axis, measuring counterclockwise. Examples Explanation Converting Between Polar and Rectangular Coordinates A point P with polar coordinates (r, θ) has rectangular coordinates (x,y) given by Converting from Rectangular to Polar Coordinates A point P with rectangular coordinates (x,Y), has polar coordinates (r,θ) given by As the inverse tangent function can have multiple solutions, it is important to note the quadrant in which the point lies. In the following example, the point (-1,1) lies in the fourth quadrant, and so θ must lie in that quadrant as well, even though there is a solution to the equation for θ in the third quadrant. Try these exercises Where in the coordinate system is any point having r=0, regardless of the value of θ? Express Q=(4,0) in rectangular coordinates. Express P=(2,-π) in rectangular coordinates. Express Q=(0,0) and P=(0,π) in rectangular coordinates. What is remarkable about the rectangular coordinates of these two points? Express P=(-1,0) in polar coordinates. Express P=(3,4) in polar coordinates. Round decimals to the nearest tenth. Answers to questions: All points (0,θ) are at the pole (origin). Both points have the same representation in rectangular coordinates.

Peninsula Planners: McMillin Company and Liberty Station Improvements by Source on April 26, 2017 · 0 comments Rosecrans and Nimitz intersection at top. There was another good sized crowd at the Peninsula Community Planning Board's regular monthly meeting on Thursday, April 20, 2017 at the Point Loma Library. But, as it turned out, many of those attending were presenters. The biggest group was from the McMillin company, there to show the public plans for improvement at the intersection of Nimitz and Rosecrans. The improvements were only on Rosecrans north and south of the intersection from Jewell Street to Jarvis Street, nothing was planned for Nimitz. Traffic lanes will be redone to make two left turn lanes from Rosecrans to east and west Nimitz. The plans will also include a dedicated right turn lane from southbound Rosecrans to westbound Nimitz, bike lanes, energy efficient streetlamps, and water treatment for storm drainage. The project will take about one year. There is a website at nimitzrosecrans.com with maps and more information. The McMillin company explained that its role was to "facilitate" the project by handling the construction. Bids have already gone out. They explained that this was a "cost reimbursable" project that the City will pay McMillin for. The project was described as the final off-site mitigation project required by the City as part of the Liberty Station Development. It was not explained why the City was reimbursing McMillin for a development project that was required in the development agreement that McMillin made with the City and has profited well off of. There was more Liberty Station news when the Mayor''s representative, Anthony George, said that one million dollars was set aside in the new budget to fund an athletic center and a long awaited aquatic center at the former Naval Training Center. This was also supposed to be a McMillin responsibility in the redevelopment agreement and the community has been waiting for years to see the facility built. Money that was originally dedicated to this kind of a facility was re-appropriated to build the Liberty Station parks years ago and progress on the aquatic center stalled. George's other major piece of news was that the city has experienced a spike in what it needed for the pension fund resulting in a need to cut the budgets of all city departments by three and a half percent. The problem apparently arose when revenue predictions fell short. George said that certain departments and services would remain intact naming the Sunset Cliffs ranger staff as one and including libraries and rec centers. PCPB board member Bruce Coons then asked why the arts funding programs were being cut by 33% when all the other departments were only asked to cut three and a half percent. George said the city was working to reduce that figure. During the action items portion of the meeting, the first project to come up generated a discussion of tentative map waivers, which was what the first project had applied for. In a nutshell, the map waiver mechanism is used by developers to both reduce review time and to avoid public review. Multi-family projects are permitted as apartment buildings with only ministerial approval, meaning there is no public review. While under construction, the map waiver is sought to turn the project into condominiums, which as the original plan. The developer for the first project said this saved a whole year in the development process and this was why it was done. That extra time would be devoted to a public review process that the majority of board members felt was being circumvented. The board voted to deny the waiver on principle. The next two projects were also applications for waivers, however, the second project, a redevelopment of the old Blockbuster video store location on Roscrans, had come before the PCPB before only because it required a site development permit. Because the PCPB had seen it, made suggestions for changes, and the developers had listened, the map waiver was approved. The third project simply asked for a time extension on an already approved map waiver, which it got. The PCPB elected new officers, something that occurs every year after the March election. Only one new officer was elected, Magaret Virssimo, a newly elected board member, was elected secretary. The incumbent chair, vice chairs, and treasurer were all re-elected.

Peter Sahui Category: Essays The Australian edtech investors list: October 2020 Post author By Peter If you are an Australian edtech company, where should you look for investment, and what requirements do you need to meet? I decided to crowd-source the answers from the investors themselves: you can view the current list here. If you are an investor, you can add your details to the list here. Who is investing? As of October 2020, the following investors are on the list: Arowana – a strategic investor. The Giant Leap Fund – an impact investor. Greenwich Capital – a growth capital investor. Owl Ventures – a specialist edtech investor. Riley Batchelor – an angel investor. Telstra Ventures – a venture capital firm. While not currently on the list, other investors have been active in Australian edtech in recent years — these include Airtree Ventures and Pangaea Impact. What are they investing in? Currently there are six investors on the list. While this is a limited sample size, we can make a few observations: More investors are interested in post-secondary education (higher education and corporate/lifelong learning). This is consistent with ongoing trends — over the last couple of years, the largest Australian edtech funding rounds have generally gone to companies in corporate & lifelong learning. Most (4 out of 6) of the investors in the list specified a minimum revenue requirement, with one having an EBITDA requirement as well. A broad range of investors is interested in edtech — the list includes the angel, VC, strategic, impact, and dedicated edtech investor sectors. The investor list is off to a good start; if you are an edtech company looking for funding, hopefully you will find this a useful starting point. And if you are investing in Australian edtech, join the list here! Updated 13 October 2020 to add Owl Ventures and update the chart. Coursera: the edtech company I'd love to own The news that Coursera has raised a US$130M Series F round, valuing the company at a reported US$2.5B, caught my interest. If I could invest in one late-stage edtech company, Coursera would be it. There is a global need for lifelong learning; and the company is well-placed to meet it.

On behalf of Atwood, Holsten, Brown, Deaver & Spier Law Firm, P.C., L.L.O. posted in Car Accidents on Friday, February 12, 2016. A Jan. 24 car accident that occurred at approximately 10 a.m. near Wahoo resulted in the death of a 29-year old woman. She was driving a car through the intersection of Nebraska Highway 92 and U.S. Highway 77 at the time, heading west and carrying a 32-year-old male passenger. The car collided with a pickup truck that was traveling north, driven by a 43-year-old Osceola man. On behalf of Atwood, Holsten, Brown, Deaver & Spier Law Firm, P.C., L.L.O. posted in Car Accidents on Thursday, February 4, 2016. The Nebraska State Patrol and the Saunders County Sheriff's Office are investigating a crash that took place on Jan. 24 and resulted in two fatalities. The accident occurred at around 10 a.m. at the intersection of Highway 77 and Highway 92 when a pickup truck heading north collided with a car traveling west. On behalf of Atwood, Holsten, Brown, Deaver & Spier Law Firm, P.C., L.L.O. posted in Car Accidents on Wednesday, January 27, 2016. Car buyers in Nebraska who look first for safety and durability often decide that vehicles manufactured by Volvo best suit their needs. The Swedish company has built a reputation for placing safety at the top of its list of priorities with innovations such as the three-point seat belt and the rearward facing child safety seat. The three-point seat belt alone is thought to have saved over 1 million lives since its introduction in 1959. Volvo is also a leading proponent of autonomous vehicle technology, and the company says that self-driving cars could virtually eliminate traffic accidents in the future. On behalf of Atwood, Holsten, Brown, Deaver & Spier Law Firm, P.C., L.L.O. posted in Car Accidents on Thursday, January 21, 2016. Nebraska drivers should be informed about the items that made it onto the National Transportation Safety Board list of 'Most Wanted" safety improvements for 2016. In addition to some items that appeared on the 2015 list, the 2016 list features some unique safety items. One focus of the list is to reduce fatigue-related motor vehicle accidents. On behalf of Atwood, Holsten, Brown, Deaver & Spier Law Firm, P.C., L.L.O. posted in Car Accidents on Thursday, January 14, 2016. Light snow might cause more car accidents than an actual snowstorm, as drivers' perceptions do not always allow them to adjust appropriately to sudden light snow or ice on the road. Even when Nebraska drivers are being careful, they might not fully perceive the danger that a light snow dusting might cause. This is Part 4 of a multi-part series on what to do if you've been injured at work. On behalf of Atwood, Holsten, Brown, Deaver & Spier Law Firm, P.C., L.L.O. posted in Car Accidents on Friday, January 8, 2016. One person was killed in a morning accident in Bellevue on Dec . 30. The fatal accident involved two vehicles and left at least one person injured. The incident resulted in a portion of the road closed during the police investigation. On behalf of Atwood, Holsten, Brown, Deaver & Spier Law Firm, P.C., L.L.O. posted in Car Accidents on Thursday, December 31, 2015. Nebraska residents may have heard that four Secret Service officers were injured in a car accident in New Hampshire on Dec. 29. All four of the officers were traveling in a vehicle that was struck head on by a second vehicle. The 45-year-old man who was driving the second car was pronounced dead at the scene while two passengers in his car sustained injuries. On behalf of Atwood, Holsten, Brown, Deaver & Spier Law Firm, P.C., L.L.O. posted in Car Accidents on Wednesday, December 23, 2015. As more driverless cars are developed and tested in actual roads, a study has found that their accident rate is currently at twice that of the vehicles driven by humans. The fault, however, doesn't seem to be with the driverless cars, but a result of the interaction between these vehicles that follow traffic rules at all times and humans, who can be inattentive, aggressive or make exceptions to the rules. Nebraska drivers might be interested in finding out the risks associated with these vehicles before their use is widespread. On behalf of Atwood, Holsten, Brown, Deaver & Spier Law Firm, P.C., L.L.O. posted in Car Accidents on Thursday, December 3, 2015. According to officers with the Omaha Police Department, 5 people were injured in an accident on I-680.

I'm still quite confused about Heroes Reborn though. Was it always meant to be a one year long event, or was it intended to go for longer? Or was it a wait and see if it deserves another year kind of thing? It was really the prototype Ultimate universe. I assume it would have continued indefinitely if it had sold well, but I have nothing to back that up. At least to the public, HR was meant to be permanent. Whether it was secretly meant to be some kind of New Coke scheme, ive never heard that. I recall the FF book initially being the best of the four. Although thats faint praise, going against Nazi Eagle Cap and the like. Voord 99 says: One wonders, cynically, if thinking in terms of long-term intentions and plans for Marvel at that particular point in its history is a category error. 🙂 As I recall it, they left it open-ended. At the time Marvel itself was so fragile, literally bankrupt, that it really could have gone either way. But it took only a few months for people to realize that there was no future for the Heroes Reborn line and Marvel would better discontinue them sooner rather than later if it expected to remain in business in some capacity. It was not just because the quality was so weak. I'm blanking on the exact reasons, but HR Avengers, specifically, ended up needing help from Walt Simonson and a bit of self-deprecation to remain credible and published to its end. Still, if nothing else Heroes Reborn brought much wanted attention back to the main Marvel characters. It also created what to this day I feel to be desirable as a lasting status quo: an environment where the X-Men existed separately from the Avengers and FF. It also allowed time for Marvel to gets its act together during that year. FF has been subpar for years. Avengers has just finished the unreadable Crossing, which no one could figure out the plot. Iron Man had Teen Tony, which were some of the worst comics I ever read. Coming out of Heroes Reborn, the books felt fresh again. They got Busiek on Avengers and Iron Man. I think that Busiek run on IM is still the last time I truly enjoyed the Iron Man comic. FF, we'll, it started off pretty promising… Eventually, Mark Waid took over the title, but that was a number of years in the future. On the other hand, I liked the Thor comic more from before the relaunch than after. Daibhid C says: Your comment that the initial premise couldn't have continued after Heroes Return because it strains credibility that none of the returning heroes would figure it out reminds me of the Thunderbolts storyline in the Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes cartoon, which makes the interesting decision to make Earth's Mightiest Heroes complete morons. First it establishes that the current line-up of the Masters of Evil is precisely these guys, and the Avengers know it. Then — while the Avengers are actively searching for the Masters of Evil — the Thunderbolts make their debut. And nobody thinks "Hang on…" Sorry, the Avengers Assemble cartoon. EMH was the previous one. Don't you besmirch Earth's Mightiest Heroes! I wish the movies were half as fun as that series. One thing HR made worse: I seem to recall from Sean Howe's book that editorial morale was understandably wounded by the decision to farm out many of the company's biggest characters (at least in rep, if no longer in sales—which was of course the point). I agree that it seemed to give the House of Ideas the time it needed to get itself together, though. I remember being interested again by the relaunches from Jurgens and Busiek as a kid, when I was certainly not beforehand. Martin Smith says: I read some of the Teen Tony run as part of the trade for the Avengers First Sign crossover (which was rough) and actually, I thought it was an interesting premise. A young genius pulled forward through time and forced to get to grips with his own future self's technology, let alone the state of his life – his girlfriend now being the lecturer on his college course for instance – and a world heavily dhaped by his future actions. I think if it had been given more time it could have been something pretty good. There's mileage in contrasting how a teenage Tony Stark sees the world compared to how his older self did. Just a bit unfortunate that it came out in the 90s: after the era of bedroom programmer/entrepreneurs and before the hacktivist trope, when college students were just supposed to be cynical and depressed. Matk Coale says: HR did at least fix some of the really stupid stuff from that era, horrible cosumes and things like Jan being turned into a Waspwoman. I dont think Waid had a change to fix that in his brief 3 issues (i could be wrong). The bad thing is that i think the Waid/Garney Cap book was better before HR than after, IIRC. Teen Tony also had the handicap of being written by Terry Kavanagh, whose track record at 90s Marvel was…not good. The story also had some other problems; Kavanagh wrote the old girlfriend character, Meredith McCall, as if she hadn't seen Tony in years and had lived a life affected by his disappearance as a teen. An evil ex-husband was introduced with generic cold powers to menace her. In fact, the previous writer, Len Kaminski, had already brought her back and shipped her off with new superpowers as part of a crew of demon hunters, which she took on after her husband — not an ex — was murdered by a demon. Kavanagh also reintroduced Morgan Stark, a cousin of Tony from some 1960s stories who was originally portrayed as an inept coward in debt to the Mob, now as some kind of cyborg criminal mastermind sending a crew of super-thugs to destroy Stark Enterprises. Whatever potential there was in the idea of "young Tony Stark grapples with older Tony's legacy" turned into generic early 90s plotting mishmash almost instantly.

More than 600,000 Syrian children have been enrolled in the education system for the 2018-2019 school year, according to Turkish Education Ministry data, state-run Anadolu Agency said on Sept. 26. There are 1,047,999 Syrian school-aged refugee children in Turkey, the agency said, citing the data figures as of September provided by the General Directorate for Migration in the Turkish Interior Ministry. This figure has been gradually increasing over the years, as it was reported as 833,039 in 2016. School-aged Syrian refugee children are enrolled in either Turkish public schools or temporary education centers in the country. In an attempt to foster an integration between Syrian and Turkish children, the Turkish government aims to close the current temporary education centers gradually and transfer the students to public schools.

Where Fresh Thinking Thrives Hearables for All Voice First It's Never 2 Late Watts Project Keeps Sunny View on the Cutting Edge of Technology With the generosity of residents Lyn and Bruce Watts, Sunny View Retirement Community has launched the "Watts Project" to help with resident care through innovation and technology. This project brings new technology along with training for Sunny View staff and was inspired by a pilot project in partnership with the Front Porch Center for Innovation and Wellbeing and Intel. The pilot provided Sunny View staff members with 10 Microsoft Surface tablets to use in their daily duties. Intel and the Front Porch Center for Innovation and Wellbeing implemented the study to analyze how technology can help increase staff productivity. At the conclusion of the study Sunny View was able to keep four tablets. "Four Surface tablets just didn't seem to be enough to get the work done," Bruce said. "I wanted to make sure the staff had enough equipment to ensure we had the best care available." With the Watts' contribution, Sunny View will purchase seven additional tablets. The Watts will also contribute additional funds each year to help keep this project funded into the future. Whether it's new technology or more training for staff, the Watts Project will keep Sunny View at the cutting edge of resident care.

The RPM Group have carried out a number of pipe coating / wrapping projects within the water industry. For Yorkshire Water, Anglian Water, North West Water, Severn Trent and the Environmental Agency. Contracts ranging from a few thousand pounds to the £100K+ TA/HA Rehabilitation project, which consisted of four 1.2 m diameter pipes at five separate river crossings, have been successfully completed. Most of this work was carried out acting as a sub-contractor to well known main contractors, such as Morrison Construction, Daniel Contractors, Askam & Thomas Armstrong. A wide range of products are available ranging from the traditional Petrolatum tapes, ideally suited for small to medium diameter pipes, where no primer is necessary and application by hand or wrapping machine is quick and easy to multi-layer systems using bitumen backed acrylic tapes and liquid top coats.

sonnb - XenGallery (XenForo Gallery) [Paid] 2.6.7 No permission to buy ($40.00) Thread starter sonnb Overview Updates (63) Reviews (77) History Discussion dknife snoopy5 said: The problem is that the other alternative, XenMediaGallery, is by far not as mich developed if you need a gallery for a photography oriented forums. XMG is too basic. And I do not see any progress regarding more photography oriented features. And it got worse with XF2 with many options simply removed in the new version for whatever reason. oO5 Dynasty otto said: I think its going the same way as photo contest addon by Luqman (that worked a long period after he let it fall, but now with newer php and mysql its broken and work not anymore for me. Thats terrible - this way we lose more and more people to social media sites without any chance to do anything. At the point with the photo contest trouble, I now have to go parallel with Wordpress and a nice plugin for photo contests. Xenforo does not have this feature anymore. For me, there is a mismatch. Since Xenforo 2.x we have less key-addons now and the old one makes more and more trouble with newer server software versions. Man ... what a ... This is the main reason I did not upgrade to xenforo 2 because of the add-ons I invested in. Most of them have not returned to the xenforo platform. It is just a lot to deal with when it comes to dealing with a brand new xenforo platform and the internet evolving so much over time , and the money spent on the old platform. Nothing I can do but wait for developers to bring back the add-on we love if they are still around. ActorMike Does anyone know if we can import the photos from XenGallery to XenForo Media Gallery? This sucks that this guy went AWOL on us and left us hanging. Reactions: kankan ActorMike said: Yes, XFMG includes an importer for Sonnb Gallery, which I've personally used when I migrated. Reactions: ActorMike dknife said: So I assume that it's best to buy XFMG while running 1.5 and then import the photos, and then upgrade to XF 2.x Deriel I did that too. XenForo developer With regards to importers, we (XenForo) have decided that we're not going to officially support a sonnb XenGallery importer going forward (and the same applies to any other <XF add-on> to XFMG importers that we had). We have no interest in trying to "take customers" from non-official add-ons. However, I appreciate this is going to be problematic for some. Especially if you decided to upgrade to XF2 without realising that there was no longer a migration path available. The next version of XenForo Media Gallery is going to include some importers. So if you're coming to us from vBulletin, IPS, Photopost etc. then finally you will be able to just do that straight into XF2 without going via XF1 first. But, as I mentioned, that doesn't include sonnb XenGallery. But I have a solution! Although we're not going to be officially supporting a sonnb to XFMG importer, I have actually written one, and it will be released as a separate add-on. Aside from basic fixes to ensure it works, we won't be able to provide much (if any) support for it. There may also be some gaps because the importer was created and tested with a fairly old version of the sonnb XenGallery add-on that I have from years ago, and it likely doesn't take into account the additional functionality from the video upload add-on. Regardless, I will be releasing that for free shortly after the release of XFMG 2.1.1 (no ETA yet). In the future should @sonnb resume his work on an XF2 version of his gallery, then I'm sure he will provide a migration path from XFMG, and he would of course be more than welcome to do that. In fact, if he does come back, we would even consider deleting the importer. The only intention here is to ensure that our existing mutual customers are not stuck in some limbo. Reactions: 7emper5i, otto, dknife and 4 others Chris D said: We have no interest in trying to "take customers" from non-official add-ons. This makes no sense to me! The guy abandoned the add on, it's unsupported. He told people he was going to have a release/update last Fall for XF 2.0 and never did. You don't owe him anything and you are not competing with someone who's not supporting their product. Your loyalty needs to be with your customers, not developers who make false promises and abandon software. Thanks. Reactions: ozzy47 First, the statement was a general one, as it applies equally to importers from add-ons that still exist, and are well supported. Second, I'm trying to show good faith to @sonnb so that we aren't totally removing any motivation to carry on with an XF2 version if he still wants to. If we weren't putting our customers first, then we wouldn't be providing a solution at all, would we? Reactions: tajhay radu81 While I prefer XenGallery over the official add-on I agree with the decision made by XF team about convertors. What I don't agree is that the XF team has no interest making the XenMedia Gallery a real competitor for this add-on... (just imho, no intentions to be controversial with this reply) I'd like to upgrade to XF 2.1 and use the new features, but I'm stuck at 1.5.x for this add-on I also spent diffrent hours to translate most part of this gallery into my language, while the official one is already translated. Reactions: ozzy47 and ActorMike This isn't really a topic for today but while we understand there are certainly people who prefer how this gallery does things, we also have a healthy customer base who like how XFMG does things, some of whom prefer how XFMG does things over how XG does things. I know this because people have told us that, and many years ago it seemed there was just as many people leaving XG to come to what was then XMG as there were leaving XMG to go to XG. That's another reason why we have no interest in competing (if it comes back) because it is good for people to have a choice. Broadly speaking though, there isn't really much difference in how the galleries are structured and the featureset (where it matters). If there is significant features you feel are missing from XFMG, we'll only know about that if a suggestion has been posted in the appropriate forum. But, as I said, that's not a conversation to have here. Just letting people know who are maybe waiting for a migration path who have already upgraded to XF 2.x that there will indeed be one soon. Reactions: dknife sorry for the off-topic and hope to see you soon online @sonnb Reactions: sonnb Second, I'm trying to show good faith to @sonnb so that we aren't totally removing any motivation to carry on with an XF2 version if he still wants to. Thanks for providing a solution Chris. @sonnb has not been seen here or on his website since 11/2018. I don't know if anyone has considered this, but it's a possibility he died or is in jail. I've seen this happen more than once in my 20+ years doing website design. Once someone disappears and stops responding to support requests for 4 months, they are no longer considered competition. He stated the update would be available Q3/Q4 last year and we are past Q1 of 2019. Thanks for your help. This is an issue that is preventing many of your customers from upgrading to the latest version of XF. According to other users who posted above, at some point you had an importer built into XFMG ,and withdrew that feature at some point. I don't know if anyone has considered this, but it's a possibility he died or is in jail. It's said to say but yes could be a possibility. I hope it's not the case and he is fine. His domain sonnb.com was renewed a few days ago, who knows maybe he will be back. I'll wait a couple of months then I will upgrade to XF 2.1 + XMG. Not the gallery I prefer but at least we have an alternative solution and an easy way to migrate. Just as a tip, to end speculation on that, he has been active within the last 6 weeks because if he hadn't then this resource will have been deleted automatically by now. Reactions: sonnb and radu81 sonnb Sorry for all for the absence. I got a health issue so could not work on the code for almost 2 months and more. Reactions: Craigr, otto, whynot and 2 others Glad to see you around sonnb and hope you are fine now radu81 said: Thanks. I have just finished with the treatment. Reactions: otto sonnb said: Glad to hear you are ok. What are your plans with regards to XF2.x?

Novel predicted Coronavirus outbreak in Wuhan 40 Years ago: Is it true? With the increasing death tolls in China because of the Coronavirus outbreak, which already took about 1700 innocent people's lives, everyone is concerned about what will happen if they didn't find the vaccination sooner. The virus has been spread to over 25 Countries, being Wuhan, the province of China, the epicenter of Coronavirus, as portrayed in the novel too. Yes, you have read it right; the Wuhan virus was predicted in a book which was written 40 years ago, and this is today's latest national news that is news channels broadcasting worldwide. Written by Dean Koontz, The Eyes of Darkness in 1981 doesn't accurately state the prediction of Coronavirus. The news is spreading worldwide as a novel predicted about the virus about 40 years ago is neither entirely true nor we can say it is false. Some contemplated that the writer had predicted the future, and others say he just stated a human-made virus named Wuhan-400, which has nothing to do with Coronavirus. Fictions can be extremely strange at times, but that doesn't necessarily mean they are entirely false. Coronavirus: India on high alert after WHO declares global emergency A thriller novel which was written 40 years ago mentioned a virus named Wuhan-400, and everyone on the Internet is stumped by it. The book features a military lab in China's province Wuhan where they create a virus to use it as a bioweapon. They named it Wuhan-400, and people are curious to know if it's a total coincidence or is related to something happening today. After an Indian Congress leader Manish Tewari shared the excerpts of a book about the Wuhan virus which was written 40 years ago, everyone on twitter is talking about the coincidence. He posted on his twitter handle a picture of the book with the caption "Is Coronavirus a biological Weapon developed by the Chinese called Wuhan -400? This book was published in 1981. Do read the excerpt". More than 1700 people have died in China due to Coronavirus. However, it will shock you that this virus in Wuhan was written about 40 years ago in a book. Yes, it is true. People are debating on social media about the relevance and coincidence of this event. The person who bought this cryptic coincidence to light was Darren Plymouth via twitter, which bombarded social media with hefty comments and posts regarding it. Besides, it became the talk of the world and today's latest national news of every news channel. The user shared some phrases and cover of the book, sentences where it is clearly written about a human-made virus named Wuhan-400. It's a strange world we live in.#coronavirus #COVID19 #Wuhan pic.twitter.com/WkjbK4zGaW — Darren of Plymouth 🇬🇧 (@DarrenPlymouth) February 16, 2020 Just a passage made this book famous overnight and that too 40 years later it released. Its chapter 39 states some human-made virus, which was named Wuhan-400, because as it was 400th viable strain of human-made micro-organism created to date at that center in Wuhan. The precision in the novel is bothering many people around the globe, especially people in those 25 countries where the Coronavirus outbreak. It was created as a weapon in the 1981 novel in a laboratory in Wuhan and produced the same symptoms as Coronavirus. We all agree that fictions are strange sometimes, but most of the people are doubting Chinese citizens and assuming that this virus is emerged as a mistake instead of an accident. There are numerous facts to support this cause as a cartoon series named The Simpsons also have mentioned of Coronavirus in one of their episodes, which was aired back in 1993. The outbreak of the Coronavirus leads to many suspicions, as even the Chinese failed to restrict its spread. If a virus spreads accidentally, there are several things to support the cause, and even health officials will be able to identify its emerging point and curb at its initial stage. But there are no traces of this outbreak that has taken thousands of lives in such a short period. Besides, there are some people who are stating that this statement is forged, and the earlier version of this book has a weapon named Gorki-400, and the name changed to Wuhan-400 in 2008. Nobody is entirely sure about why this change occurred, but this is confirmed that it wasn't predicted 40 years ago. Vaibhav Sharma is a digital marketing expert by day and writer by night.

Q: Can no longer debug ActiveX controls in Visual Studio 2008 For a long time I would throw up a DebugBreak() or ASSERT(false) in the startup code of my ActiveX control, load up IE, go to a localhost page hosting my control, wait for the dialog to show up, then debug my application. I could also launch it under the debugger by setting IE as the container. I tried again for the first time in 2 months and now this no longer works. If I use the ASSERT(false) method, when I get the Visual C++ Debug dialog and click "retry", IE simply closes without any debugger activity. When I try launching from VS2008 and hoping the DebugBreak() will kick in after I load the page, VS2008 does break, but it says either the "RPC Server is Unavailable" or the "RPC Client Call failed." I am never allowed to have my application in the debugger and it doesn't show up in the modules list of VS. The stack trace in VS2008 only contains Microsoft DLLs and modules and not a hint of my code. I assume it's something I've picked up through Windows Update that broke this. Has anyone else ever seen this issue and know how to make it go away? As it stands, I'm now completely unable to debug my ActiveX control. A: Note that if you're using 64-bit Windows, you need to create TabProcGrowth in the 32-bit registry, NOT the normal registry. To do that, open %systemroot%\syswow64\regedit instead of just regedit. For more details, see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/305097 A: I faced exactly the same problem like you, but it turned that the reason is IE itself, not Visual Studio - here is what a friend of mine showed me: - IE8 opens many processes at least one for each tab plus one more. This confuses the debugger. - You can disable this "feature" and (for me) debugging started to work, - I still cannot "Attach to process", but putting IE as debug application is fine. Here is how you disable it: To overcome this issue, you need to disable the process growth feature of LCIE by follow the below steps: 1) Open RegEdit 2) Browse to HKEY_LOCALMACHINE -> SOFTWARE -> Microsoft -> Internet Explorer -> Main 3) Add a dword under this key called TabProcGrowth 4) Set TabProcGrowth to 0 If you run into the same problem on Vista or newer, you will also need to turn off >protected mode. I've tested on Win XP so far. Help came from this link: http://weblogs.asp.net/abdullaabdelhaq/archive/2009/06/01/VS-Debug-Problem-with-IE8.aspx Good Luck! A: Can you use 'Attach to Process' in Visual Studio and make sure the 'Attach To' is set to Native code ? A: How to debug C++ in the IE.10 + WIN8 64bit + VS2008 * *Keep TabProcGrowth with Medium (does not change !!) *Setting VS2008 OCX project Debugging with command C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe,Attach = Yes,Debugger Type=Native Only *Open the Internet Explore 10 form WIN8 taskbar. *Key in the target ocx htm file path in the url of Internet Explorer 10. and press enter key to load htm. *Enable IE.10 ActiveX mode. *When IE10 was ActiveX mode ready, run your VS2008 OCX procject that will attach IE10 with your break point. *Refresh IE.10 html again to start debug your ocx source code.

Purpose Examine fathers' perceived reasons for their lack of inclusion in pediatric research and strategies to increase their participation. Description We conducted expert interviews with researchers and practitioners (N = 13) working with fathers to inform the development of an online survey. The survey—which measured fathers' perceived reasons for their underrepresentation in pediatric research, recommended recruitment venues, and research personnel and study characteristics valued by fathers—was distributed online and in-person to fathers. Assessment Respondents included 303 fathers. Over 80 % of respondents reported that fathers are underrepresented in pediatric research because they have not been asked to participate. Frequently recommended recruitment venues included community sports events (52 %), social service programs (48 %) and the internet (60 %). Compared with white fathers, more non-white fathers recommended public transit (19 % vs. 10 %, p = .02), playgrounds (16 % vs. 6 %, p = .007) and barber shops (34 % vs. 14 %, p < .0001) and fewer recommended doctors' offices (31 % vs. 43 %, p = .046) as recruitment venues. Compared with residential fathers (100 % resident with the target child), more non-residential fathers recommended social services programs (45 % vs. 63 %, p = .03) and public transit (10 % vs. 27 %, p = .001) and fewer recommended the workplace (17 % vs. 40 %, p = .002) as recruitment venues. Study brevity, perceived benefits for fathers and their families, and the credibility of the lead organization were valued by fathers. Conclusion Fathers' participation in pediatric research may increase if researchers explicitly invite father to participate, target father-focused recruitment venues, clearly communicate the benefits of the research for fathers and their families and adopt streamlined study procedures. We would like to recognize and thank our community partners for their support and assistance in reaching fathers including (but not limited to): Massachusetts (MA) Department of Housing, MA Department of Children and Families, Cambridge Health Alliance, Boston Public Health Commission, Lynn Community Connections Coalition, Pernet Family Health Services, The Children's Trust, Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), The Fatherhood Project at MGH, Community Action Agency of Somerville Head Start, and the National Fatherhood Initiative. We would also like to recognize the fathers who completed the survey and shared their perspectives. All phases of this study were supported by a grant from The Harvard Clinical and Translational Science Center (grant number 3UL1TR001102-02S1). The funding source had no role in the design and conduct of the study: collection, management, analysis, and interpretation of the data; preparation, review of approval of the manuscript; and decision to submit the manuscript for publication.

As track and field athlete Jakara Davidson-Brooks was starting her sophomore year at Webster University, Hurricane Irma ravaged her hometown of Sanford, Florida. Davidson-Brooks said Hurricane Irma was the worst hurricane to hit her hometown since Hurricane Charley in 2004. Davidson-Brooks' family was able to stay at a hotel while damages to their house where being repaired. She said she will go back to visit during fall break. According to Davidson-Brooks, the St. John's River flooded and her hometown of Sanford is still affected by it. She said recovery efforts are still getting taken care of. On the way to Florida, Hurricane Irma hit Puerto Rico, Turks and Caicos Island and Cuba. The storm just missed the Bahamas. Senior men's basketball player Dominic Newton is from the Bahamas and said Hurricane Irma missed his hometown of Freeport at the last minute. Davidson-Brooks said track and field coaches Nick Niehaus and Daniel Graber both reached out to her to see how she was doing after the hurricane. She also said her teammates have shown support. Davidson-Brooks said she would have liked to seen more action from the athletics department and university. She also said she was not sure if the Student Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) hurricane raffle would help since she did not know where the money would go. Newton had a different view and said he was happy the SAAC and the basketball team was taking part in hurricane relief. SAAC member Katlyn Garza said she has worked with different athletic teams and public safety to put together prizes for the raffle. The main winner of the reserved parking spot was Janka Ribando. Austin Dudley, Luisa Mercado, Josh Ray, David Stephens and Kira Thompson won apparel prizes and oops parking lot vouchers. The money collected in the raffle donations will be dispersed to hurricane victims in Florida, Puerto Rico and Texas by Operations USA.

Career Expos are a great way to meet potential employers in an informal, easy, non-intimidating way. It offers you the opportunity to meet the 'face' of the organisation and really get an understanding of them in a way you can never get from just reading the recruitment material. The way in which employers engage with you at an expo can tell you a lot about whether their culture is a good fit for you. Were you able to speak to them easily? Did they treat you with respect? Were they enthusiastic about their work? Did you enjoy being with them? Could you see yourself working alongside them every day? Because of the casual nature of expos, many employers dress more informally at expos than they would normally do if they were at work. DO NOT LET THIS FOOL YOU! Expos are still serious business and some employers will offer interviews to students who have made an impression on them. Interviews are ALWAYS serious business. Never let yourself be misled into thinking you can approach interviews in a casual way. This doesn't mean you shouldn't be able to enjoy the interview, but it does mean you need to treat all interviews seriously. People are the organisation's greatest asset. Hiring the right people is critical to the organisation's success. Always show respect for the occasion by dressing appropriately. Depending on the job you are going for, the dress code can vary. However, even in workplaces with a more 'informal' environment, you always need to look smart and tidy. Heading off for an interview? Always check the dress code and when in doubt dress 'up' rather than 'down'. Check with the careers staff if you are not sure. Even if you do feel confident, it's a good idea to go over the preparations for your interview with careers staff to ensure you are on the right track. First impressions count! Get serious, and get that job!

Ewing leaves hospital after COVID-19 treatment Leave a Comment on Ewing Leaves Hospital After COVID-19 Treatment Patrick Ewing, the former NBA star and current coach of Georgetown University, has left the hospital and is recovering from COVID-19 at his residence, his son reported Monday. The 57-year-old Hall of Famer played with the Hoyas during his college years and shone with the New York Knicks in the NBA. Ewing announced Friday that he had been diagnosed with the coronavirus and was receiving medical attention in a hospital. Three days later, Patrick Ewing Jr. noted via Twitter that his father's health improved after receiving treatment and thanked the doctors and nurses who cared for him during his hospitalization. He also appreciated the prayers of the fans after his father released the news. Lakers Return To Training, Still Mourning Kobe Bryant "My dad is already home and continues to improve," wrote Ewing Jr. "We will continue to monitor his symptoms and adhere to the guidelines of the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention). I hope everyone continues to care for and protect themselves and their loved ones. " As a player, Ewing helped Georgetown win the NCAA College Championship in 1984 and reached two other finals. During his four seasons with the Hoyas, he was 121-23, for a .840 winning percentage. He was the first pick in the 1985 draft by the Knicks. Eventually, Ewing led New York to the 1994 final, where they lost to Hakeem Olajuwon and the Houston Rockets. Ewing played 17 seasons in the NBA, 15 of them with the Knicks. After retiring as a player, he spent 15 years as an assistant for four professional teams. In April 2017, he returned to Georgetown to take the reins of a team at any level for the first time. In their first three seasons at his alma mater, Ewing's teams were 49-46 and have failed to qualify for the NCAA tournament. In 2019-20, Georgetown ended the season with seven losses in a row and a record of 15-17.

The School Performance Profile scoring system is based on a 100-point system in which each individual school receives a rating. Schools may earn extra credit points beyond the 100 points for students who have earned advanced scores on state, industry and Advanced Placement exams. Many data points contribute to the academic score. These data points are categorized into five areas. Note: The SPP for the 2012-2013 school year did not include a calculation for closing the achievement gap. The factor was included in the 2013-2014 SPP for science only. Beginning in 2015- 2016, the closing the achievement gap calculation includes reading, math and science. Our outcomes are a direct result of the work of our teachers, principals, students and parents.

AURORA – Sam Schultz offered a slight look over at his coach, then offered this about Oswego East's new defense. "It's a secret," said Schultz, the Wolves' 6-foot-7 junior. "The goal is to shut down their main player and make their role players have to score. We had that in our back pocket, along with the 2-3 [zone]." It's no secret that defense is a bellwether to how well the Wolves play. They were at their best Tuesday. Oswego East, giving up its fewest points all season, ran away from Waubonsie Valley 58-36 in Tuesday's Class 4A East Aurora Sectional semifinal. Ray J Dennis scored 18 points, Demari Grant added 16, Schultz had 12 points and 10 rebounds and Kamron Battle 10 points for Oswego East (24-7). The Wolves, who play Bolingbrook Friday, are in a sectional final for the first time in program history and matched a program record for wins. "Super excited that we get to play more basketball," Oswego East coach Ryan Velasquez said. "We made some history. Hopefully we can keep this rolling." The Wolves unveiled their "new defense," which looked like a box-and-one or triangle-and-two, in Friday's regional final, keeping Lemont star Nate Ferguson in check. On Tuesday, the attention turned to Waubonsie Valley's Eric Cannon and Marcus Skeete. The two combined to shoot just 4-for-15 and scored 14 total points. Derrien Porter led Waubonsie (27-5) with 17. Oswego East showed a zone defense throughout, with a few wrinkles. Whatever they were in, the Wolves were committed. "The message going in was we have to get stops," Velasquez said. "Probably our best defensive game of the year tonight. The guys were focused, and they were hungry. I felt we were all committed, all in. They [Waubonsie] have some horses." Doesn't Oswego East know it. Cannon and Skeete each scored 19 points in the teams' first meeting, a 67-61 Waubonsie win Feb. 9. This was a 180-degree turn. Oswego East junior Tremont Brewer, face-guarding Skeete on several possessions, held him to 1-for-9 shooting and four points. Waubonsie, as a team, shot just 34.3 percent, 2-for-16 from the 3-point line. "I don't care if Tremont scores zero points. He wins us games," Schultz said. "He locks up and does the dirty work." Waubonsie Valley coach Jason Mead felt his team's struggles were more about what they didn't do, than what Oswego East did. "We weren't very aggressive, and Ray J is really good," Mead said. "They played some triangle-and-two probably like five or six possessions, that they played against Lemont. We just didn't execute any of our plays today. We caught the ball too high, we weren't catching to score. We just missed shots." Oswego East only trailed once, on the second score of the second quarter. Dennis, who shot 6-for-10, scored eight of his 18 points in the second quarter. His driving layup gave the Wolves the lead for good, 13-12. Later, he scored on a spectacular spinning move through the lane and finger roll as the Wolves went ahead 19-14 at half. Dennis admitted the teams' first meeting was in the back of his mind, especially with a huge crowd on both sides Tuesday. "We definitely had it in the back of our heads, knowing that they're in our back yard and they know us and we know them," Dennis said. "We knew a lot of people were going to be here. It was a big game leading up." And wouldn't have been possible, without Dennis' buzzer-beater in Oswego East's regional semifinal win over Neuqua Valley. '"Me, Ray, Kam, we've ben talking about this for a long time," Schultz said. "When we got lucky against Neuqua, we had to wake up. We feel like a new team these last couple games." Schultz, helping Oswego East finish possessions, controlled the defensive glass. He also scored 10 of his 12 points in the second half. He scored on a nifty baseline drive for a three-point play early in the fourth quarter, making it 39-27, then motioned to Oswego East's large student section. The Wolves, leading 36-27 after Dennis and Cannon matching 3-pointers to close the third quarter, took over in the fourth. "I knew I had a mismatch on whoever was guarding me," Schultz said. "Get to the paint, go up strong, I'll score." Grant scored 14 of his 16 points in the second half, helping the Wolves pull away. His three-point play in transition, following a Dennis basket, got the lead to double digits at 31-18. "This is a huge stepping stone," Dennis said. "It's all part of the journey that we set for ourselves at the beginning of the year. Now we're getting ready for Bolingbrook." Bolingbrook earlier pulled away to beat West Aurora 75-61 behind Drake recruit Joseph Yesufu's 23 points. The Raiders, perennial sectional finalists, took third in Class 4A in both 2015 and 2017. "We're definitely looking forward to it," Dennis said. "We know guys on their team, they're a tough team, a prestigious team per se. We'll be ready."

Seeing as you can open virtually any bookmaker's website on your laptop or PC and create a betting account, you might think you can do exactly the same on your mobile device, be it an iPhone, iPad, or any one of the dozens of smartphones that run Google's Android OS. Google and Apple own about 95 percent of online mobile traffic, which of course includes punters hoping to place bets on all the top sporting events. No matter if you own an iOS powered device, or an Android-powered device, to obtain a bookmaker app, there are some hoops you need to jump through. Google used to be quite open to all forms of apps that allowed real money gambling of any kind, but then in August 2013 they had a complete change of heart. Google Play is largely an unregulated market, and by allowing bookmaker apps to be hosted there, Google were giving people the chance to engage in online betting in jurisdictions (like the US) where it was not permitted, so, fearful of prosecution, they banned them outright. However, the ban is not too much of problem for sports betting fans. Because Android is based on Linux, it is an open-source OS. That means you can download and install apps to your device from outside of Google Play. You usually just need to visit a bookmaker's site to be offered the chance of downloading a bookmaker app in the form of an apk file. More frequently, thanks to recent advances in HTML, you can simply use the mobile-optimised version of a bookmaker's site via your device's internet browser. Apple always used to ban real money gambling apps but when Google made their decision in 2013, Apple made the same decision but in the opposite direction. The App Store is much more regulated than Google Play, plus each country has its own version of the App Store. Getting an app into the App Store means you have to endure a lengthy review process, and only apps that are legitimate are allowed through. This means that any app that permits online gambling in a jurisdiction where it is illegal is given the thumbs down. So, if you live in a jurisdiction where online gambling is allowed, then you should be able to download a bookmaker app for your favourite sports book via the App Store. If not – just use the mobile-optimised version of the sports book site using Safari or any other browser you've installed on your iPhone or iPad. There are plenty of bookmaker apps that you can download and install to your mobile device, along with odds comparison apps and betting tips and news apps. It's certainly not impossible to find any of these applications – you just need to know where to look.

Beside India, Nepal is also popular for having a significant number of Bengal Tigers in the Asia region. The country shares the common concern with India, which is to protect and conserve the big cats. Nepal has been putting in honest efforts to increase the number of Bengal Tigers, which is evident from the programmes this country has introduced in this regard. Thursday marked the beginning of the census of Bengal Tigers in the Suklaphanta Wildlife Reserve in Nepal. The administration said that they will be using camera trapping technology for a period of about one month for counting tigers. Bed Kumar Dhakal, chief conservation officer at the Reserve, said that the counting will be completed in two phases of 15 days each. He also said that keeping aside the usual practice of counting tigers at conserved areas nationawide, this year the counting programme will only be conducted in wildlife reserves and national parks where tigers are less. Dhakal also informed that tiger census will also be carried out in Parsa Wildlife Reserve and Banke National Park. As per Dhakal, the programme is conducted annually at conserved area with low population of tigers. Last year, 11-17 tigers were spotted during counting sessions. And this number was 27 when the first counting and monitoring programme was conducted around 15 years ago. National Trust for Nature Conservation (NTNC), Reserve officials and Nepal Army personnel are extending great help in tiger census. Further, proper training classes are being organized for participants for counting tigers. The number of these big cats is constantly decreasing in all the dwellings of tigers in the world. This prompted Tiger Range Countries (TRC) to start conservation programmes with a sole motive to double their numbers by 2022. A report rolled out by the Department of National Park and Wildlife Conservation stated that the number of tigers in the conserved areas of Nepal was just 176 till last year.

This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. All opinions are mine alone. We've had several rainy days lately, and all it makes we want to do is bake. Scones, cookies, bread, donuts. I want to bake (and eat) all the things. My mother-in-law is a fantastic baker, and her snickerdoodle cookies are delicious. They are a holiday staple. But since it's still fall, I'm not quite to 'holiday' baking just yet. I am, however, a little obsessed with apples at the moment. So I'm taking some classic snickerdoodle cookies and combining them with fresh apple for a new fall treat. I love the fall. Life is back to a routine (even if I'm still struggling with the alarm clock in the morning), my favorite sports are on television, and the heat of the Texas summer has finally broken which makes me happy to spend more time in the kitchen. Turning the oven on when it's 100 degrees outside just isn't that enjoyable. But the hustle and bustle of the holidays hasn't quite set in yet, so life still feels fairly slow and leisurely. Yep, this might be my favorite time of the year. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside. Cream together the butter, shortening, 1 1/2 cups sugar, eggs, and vanilla. In a small bowl combine the 4 Tbsp sugar and 4 tsp cinnamon. Drop spoonfuls of dough into mixture. Place cookie dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets. Bake for 9 to 11 minutes. Cookies will look puffy when done. Remove from baking sheets and allow to cool. When you create a delicious new recipe, it's only fair to share it with friends and family. So once my cookies were baked and cooled I could start putting together my gift baskets. I used a 12×12 sheet of scrapbook paper and folded it to make an origami box to hold my cookies. Watch how I made the paper gift boxes! After my paper boxes were made, and filled with cookies, I slipped the boxes into a clear plastic bag and tied a gold ribbon around it. While I am crazy about apples, and these Apple Snickerdoodle Cookies, pumpkins will soon be getting plenty of love at my house as well. What are your favorite fall flavors? This recipe has been around for years. The only difference I see is I make it with dried apples. It's a great recipe and people love the cookies.

At the individual level, you can take steps to activate the unification process. This involves having a love affair with yourself. This is not a narcissistic kind of love but a love that embraces your woundedness, your missteps - all that you have held against yourself and all that others have held against you. It is time to love all of it into the light. Set an intention to do so and hold a ceremony or ritual to dedicate yourself to fully loving and assisting yourself and your movement toward healing. This is not a selfish action. You have vastly more to share with others when you heal and love yourself. If you are holding judgment against yourself you will judge others as well. Undertake your own healing for the sake of yourself, all others, and the universe. We have said your intentions raise the obstacle field. Now we will further distinguish the different forms and degrees of the obstacle field. The lesser obstacle field is raised for an intention such as manifesting a new car or other material item. Inside this obstacle field you will experience questions around deserving, abundance, and any reservations held by younger aspects of your consciousness. A more complex obstacle field is activated by the intention to bring about profound healing at all levels. This intention activates all the thoughts, feelings, experiences, emotions, beliefs - everything that has entered into the equation of your inner wound will be raised to help you heal and work with it. This can be an extensive process that for some takes years. However, the energies now are working with you, allowing you to take great steps toward releasing resistance, raising your vibration and incubating the timeline where you are living along a life track of inner unification. During this powerful time, new energies are filtering onto the earth plane, seeding times of deeper awakening. Seers and other light beings are receiving visions designed to bring awareness to anything that has held them in limiting scenarios. Transcendence is a primary theme now as we are asked to move beyond old identities into new and often as yet unimagineable realms of being. The new energies allow us to transcend limiting beliefs that exist at the root of limiting careers, relationships, identities and much more. In a sense, these energies are even assisting us in transcending ourselves – or who we believe ourselves to be. Post-eclipse energies are lifting us higher than ever before, offering glimpses of timelines of transcendence where we're living beyond our present limitations. This is not a fairy tale, not a too-good-to-be-true bedtime story. There are steps to take on the journey of transcendence. Those who adopt the intention to transcend limiting beliefs will face various tests to insure their readiness for a limitless existence. We are not alone in this journey. The universe is with us every step of the way, providing the resources needed to energize timelines of transcendence. All we have to do is be willing to believe in ourselves, to trust our footing on this new path, and to heal and release the past at a deep and profound level. Any choice to transcend limitations raises the obstacle field. Any time we set an intention we activate everything that stands in the way of reaching our intentions. This activation helps us recognize and clear unhealed emotions, limiting beliefs, habits and connections that anchor us to third-dimensional life tracks. Inside the obstacle field any fears we still hold kick in and tell us we are not up to the task. Some turn back at this juncture. Instead of turning back, we can choose to see obstacles as opportunities to reaffirm and strengthen our belief in ourselves and our spiritual connection. Transforming obstacles into opportunities allows us to fly over situations that previously tethered us to dense, lower-vibrational life tracks. Self-love and self-forgiveness are essential in transcending limitations. When the obstacle field activates, younger selves within your repertoire of selves may become fearful. Selves still mired in unresolved emotions may throw on the brakes. During this powerful period you have the ability to heal by working with your repertoire of selves at a very high level. Unconditional love for yourself and others is essential to transcending limitations. Be gentle with yourself as you transition to unconditional love. This transition will bring before you memories of un-love to be loved and released. When you feel gratitude for moments of un-love, you are ready to step into the real love that transcendence brings. A high level of awareness will help you past any hurdles you encounter. This allows you to observe yourself without judgment. Forgive yourself if you feel sad, depressed, lonely or fearful. If you resist or pull back, forgive yourself. Let whatever happens be as it is without judgment or blame. Your thoughts hold the power to lift you up or knock you down. When traumatized feeling states kick in, send love to yourself. Sit with your younger selves. Sit with any selves that feel abandoned and unloved. Be willing to serve as a loving, understanding parent and guide to these younger selves. A willingness to re-parent your younger selves brings about inner unification, which is essential to activating timelines of transcendence. Many lightworkers entered this lifetime with the intention to complete past connections. These completions are instrumental in awakening us to our spiritual purpose of helping with the transition to the New Earth. Past life connections serve to awaken you to expanded dimensions of your being by weakening the barriers between lifetimes. The shift to the new earth is built upon a vision of oneness with all others and within ourselves. When we see through the veils separating our various lifetimes, we establish a conscious connection with our parallel selves incarnated simultaneously throughout various timeframes. When we establish oneness with parallel aspects of ourselves we deepen and complete our spiritual understanding on many levels. This concept of inner unity ushers in a new kind of self-love that transcends the love we have for our present identity self. As you open to inner unification with all aspects of yourself you adopt a new focus self that is capable of embracing and working with parallel aspects of your consciousness. You may experience initial resistance from your present focus self in this changeover. Be kind and loving but persistent in this transition. Inside timelines of transcendence you engage with yourself, with others, with the environment and with all living creatures as the limitless, divine being that you are. Timelines of transcendence bring many powerful breakthroughs. Creativity greatly expands and your powers of perception expand. You experience radiant health. Your desire to assist others expands. As you seek to help others transcend whatever binds them to limiting life tracks, you transcend your own limitations. This allows you to step more fully into your role as a wayshower and guide into the new time. Waking and nighttime dreams are preparing you to embrace more fully your true identity as an infinite and divine being. Working with dream states now helps you develop future vision, a tool that can help you chart your course into fifth-dimensional life tracks. This tool helps you intuitively see where a situation, choice or idea will take you in the future. It helps you look at a situation and see straight through to the intention that created it. Viewing potentials before they manifest allows for course corrections and fine-tuning of intentions and visualizations. Opening to future vision makes it easier to "plug in" to the expanded energies now abundant on the Earth plane. These energies are helping an ever increasing number of beings experience moments of expanded vision. Future vision is possible because each being is multi-faceted, multi-dimensional and multi-connected. When you open to consciously embrace the many-layered nature of your being, you are able to tap into a much wider and deeper range of conscious perception. All moments exist parallel to our present and become accessible to us when we enter fifth-dimensional consciousness. Energy flows in all directions so events crystallizing in your near future are always sending out waves of energy that cast a sphere of influence extending in both directions – past and future. Future happenings affect your life and awareness as much as past events do. In some cases, you are more affected by future events because they exist in your subconscious and are not always accessed in the way you are able to "pull-up" past times and understand the influence they are exerting on your present. This and much more is available to us when we choose to stand in the truth of our infinite being. When you bring your focus to the images future vison brings, you are able to perceive events setting up in your present moment and follow their development through time to view the shape of the New Earth. When you better understand the changes currently taking shape you will understand your role and purpose within the transition times ahead. To make the most of upcoming energies, its helpful to begin an intensive introspective period in the weeks prior. You may find it helpful to journal if you don't already. Journaling helps you gain perspective and insight into your "waking dream." Daily journaling also helps you bring awareness to stuck emotions so you can clear them. When you journal, give yourself the freedom to write whatever flows into your mind. Journaling is a good housecleaning tool to assist you in processing emotions and bringing awareness to the landscape of your mental and emotional bodies. We will all feel the effects of the upcoming Mercury retrograde and eclipse energies. The exact way in which you experience them can be understood by examining your astrology chart. The type of impact and its intensity and duration depends on where an eclipse falls in a person's astrology chart. If an eclipse falls within 3" of a planet or an important point in your chart by conjunction or opposition, it is of special significance to you. The nature of the planet impacted by the eclipse offers clues to the experiences that lie ahead. Each house in astrology points toward an area of your life. Knowing which house in which an eclipse falls in your chart will help you get your affairs in order.

McIntosh, James McQueen James McQueen McIntosh (1828–1862) James McQueen McIntosh served as a Confederate colonel in the Second Arkansas Mounted Rifles and as a brigadier general before losing his life at the Battle of Pea Ridge. James McIntosh was born at Fort Brooke, near present-day Tampa, Florida, in 1828. His father was Colonel James Simmons McIntosh of the U.S. Army. The elder McIntosh served in both the War of 1812 and the Mexican War, during which he was killed at the 1847 Battle of Molino del Rey. The younger McIntosh graduated last in his class the next year from the United States Military Academy at West Point. Serving on active duty with the U.S. Army on the western frontier, McIntosh was promoted to captain of the First Cavalry in 1857. At the outbreak of the Civil War in 1861, McIntosh was stationed at Fort Smith (Sebastian County). He resigned his federal commission when his native Florida seceded, and subsequently he was given command of the Second Arkansas Mounted Rifles. The regiment joined other Confederate forces organizing near Fort Smith under the command of Brigadier General Benjamin McCulloch, and they moved into southern Missouri, where they joined Missouri State Guard forces under Sterling Price and Arkansas State Troops commanded by Nicholas Bartlett Pearce. They were attacked by a Federal army under the command of Brigadier General Nathaniel Lyon at Wilson's Creek on August 10, 1861; the combined Confederate force defeated its Union opponent. During the battle, McIntosh commanded McCulloch's brigade of Confederate troops, while McCulloch commanded the entire army. Eventually, the Confederate and Arkansas forces moved southward back into the state, while Price and his Missourians moved into central Missouri in an effort to gather recruits and supplies. In the winter of 1861–62, McIntosh moved against pro-Union Native Americans in the nearby Indian Territory. The Native Americans were attempting to flee to Federal-held Kansas, while troops under McIntosh and Colonel Douglas Cooper worked together to stop them. Under the command of Muscogee (Creek) chief Opothleyahola, the Indians defeated a Confederate force led by Colonel Douglas Cooper on November 19, and McIntosh's brigade was dispatched for support. Cooper won a small victory at the December 9 Battle of Chusto-Talasah but endeavored to completely drive the enemy from the territory. The two commands planned to attack the enemy from different directions, but shortly before the attack, Cooper informed McIntosh that his men would not be ready in time. The Creek and their allies were at Chustenahlah, and McIntosh arrived on the field on December 25, 1861. McIntosh attacked on December 26 without support and successfully drove the enemy from the field. The Native Americans who escaped were able to reach Kansas and did not pose a threat to Confederate forces in the Indian Territory for the remainder of the war. In recognition of his success at Wilson's Creek and Chustenahlah, McIntosh was promoted to brigadier general on January 24, 1862. The command structure of Confederate forces in the Trans-Mississippi was not clear during this period, as McCulloch and Price did not work well together. Major General Earl Van Dorn was transferred west to take command of the department. Moving to meet a Federal invasion of northwestern Arkansas led by Major General Samuel Ryan Curtis, Van Dorn commanded the entire Confederate force, while McCulloch and Price each commanded a division. Encountering Union forces near Pea Ridge (Benton County), Van Dorn attacked on March 7, 1862. While scouting a Federal position near Leetown (Benton County), McCulloch was killed by enemy fire. Command of the division passed to the senior brigade commander, McIntosh. Within minutes, McIntosh was also killed by Federal fire, and confusion spread through the division, as the remaining commanders did not take command. Eventually, the Union forces under Curtis prevailed, and the Confederates retreated. The bodies of McIntosh and McCulloch were taken to Fort Smith, where they were buried in the Fort Smith National Cemetery. McIntosh's younger brother, John Baillie McIntosh, served as a major general with the Union army during the war. Warner, Ezra. Generals in Gray. Baton Rouge: Louisiana State University Press, 1959.

The iconic Paperbark tree, its name is derived from the trees bark that flakes and peels but has a softer texture than paper and also thicker. Known by its botanical name Melaleuca meaning black & white, which is derived from the Ancient Greek melanos 'black' and leukos 'white' and Genus a name referenced by the European settlers by the way the bark was black at the base and white at the top due to bush fires. The Melaleuca genus includes over 200 species most of which are native to Australia. Drought and fire hardy plants can range in size from 2-meter shrubs commonly known as a honey myrtle to 30 meters high being the iconic paperbark. They are evergreen and produce beautiful flowers ranging in colors from yellow, greenish, pink to red depending on the species. All of which attract wildlife due to the high nectar content of these flowers. Australia's spiritual indigenous peoples erected a simple rainforest dwelling called a Bayu (pronounced Ba-Yoo), made of various rainforest materials including the use of paper bark from the melaleuca trees. The paper bark offered warmth and protection from the rain, the igloo shape made from the Calamus ( wait awhile ) made the structure extremely durable. A small camp fire placed just outside the Bayu brought warmth and protection from the mosquitos as well as being a convenient place to cook meals. Australia's Indigenous people made great use of the paper bark tree using its soft bark for bandages sleeping mats, cradles and for wrapping food for cooking in underground ovens known as Kap Mari or Kap Mauri. Oven temperatures are high but due to the lack of oxygen, the paper won't ignite, keeping the food moist and tender. In some clans, they used the leaves of the Melaleuca alternifolia for its anti-bacterial properties commonly now known as Tea tree oil. Melaleuca alternifolia is the main supplier of Tea tree oil which is a fantastic antibacterial and anti-fungal used mainly for topical applications. Growing in the wild from south-east Queensland to northern New South Wales. This tall shrub or small tree grows up to 7 m high and produces white flowers. Melaleuca quinquenervia was commonly known as the broad leaf paper bark, grows from 8 to 20 meters in height, has light-colored bark, creamy or greenish flowers, and broad leaves. Found along the east coast of Australia between Sydney and the top of cape york peninsula east of the great dividing range. Melaleuca leucadendra or commonly known as the weeping Paperbark or Cajeput is a tall tree that produces white to creamy flowers has white bark and 20 cm long leaves. Found along the Australian coast from Rockhampton to east Broome but will grow in most parts inland and as far north as the Solomon Islands. The oils derived from this tree are used in many pet fish remedies relating to bacteria or fungi.

What's the Olympic Long Team anyway? The "Long Team" selection is the first round of cuts that USA Cycling makes for the Olympic Team, so it isn't a guarantee of actually making it to the Olympic Games. For mountain bike, they selected eight women and seven men from which they'll further pare down to just two each for the final "Short Team."

Q: Netlify and React Vite: Netlify says "Page not found" upon reloading in Vite and React site I have the site built in React JS where I am using Vite as a JS Bundler. The problem is, when I deployed the site on Netlify and when reloading the page it says "Page not found". I tried adding changing vite.config.jsfile. import { defineConfig } from "vite"; import { resolve } from "path"; import react from "@vitejs/plugin-react"; // https://vitejs.dev/config/ export default defineConfig({ build: { rollupOptions: { input: { main: resolve(__dirname, "index.html"), }, }, }, plugins: [react()], }); I also added .redirects file. Please provide a solution for this, I see this as a common issue but it hasn't been addressed much. A: I see this as a common issue but it hasn't been addressed much. Addressing this issue can only happen through documentation, which unfortunately if not referred to, cannot be helped. Without seeing your site and the description of this being a common issue, I can only "assume" you're talking about the 404 on refresh problem, just like the another similar question posted about yesterday: Routes not working properly in React using Vite (ON BUILD) The solution is documented on React docs (well, Create React App, but valid in this case too): https://create-react-app.dev/docs/deployment/#netlify You need to create a file, public/_redirects with the content: /* /index.html 200 You already mention you've done that, but unless it follows the exact placement and syntax as above, it won't work.

What Are the Emotional Benefits of Volleyball? Female Gymnastic Workouts Importance of Exercise in the Military by Eva Talent Activities to Improve Dexterity OSHA Regulations: Wearing Shorts & Long Pants in Construction A Workout & Physical Conditioning Plan for Gymnasts Importance of Gymnastics Military service members know the saying "Physical fitness is the cornerstone of combat readiness" by heart. Physical exercise keeps soldiers, airmen, seamen and Marines in top condition so they're always ready for any mission. Service members who don't meet military fitness standards run the risk of an early discharge or disciplinary action. Through carefully planned and implemented physical training exercises, each branch of the military is able to maintain a high level of combat readiness with healthy, capable service members. People who exercise have more energy than those who don't, so daily exercise helps service members stay on top of their duties without dealing with fatigue. The military minimizes personnel losses due to chronic illness, disease related to obesity and injury by using standardized physical training programs to keep service members in good overall health. Strong service members, particularly those in fields that require heavy physical activity such as the infantry and military police branches, are able to perform their jobs more quickly and efficiently than those who lack muscular and cardiovascular endurance. Additionally, soldiers are required to maintain high levels of fitness during deployments to ensure they are able to carry their personal gear and conduct routine operations. Overall military performance is based on a combination of individual strengths that create a network of productivity, both mentally and physically, so service members who are in peak physical condition can contribute more to their teams than members who are in poor physical condition. Combat operations require high levels of cardiovascular and muscular endurance. Service members can be subjected to excruciatingly long foot marches, hand-to-hand combat and navigation of rough terrain in war zones. Maintaining a high level of physical fitness helps service members perform at the military's high standards throughout their careers. Service members who are physically fit can endure tough living conditions, hard work and stressful situations more readily than those who are not, notes the U.S. Army War College. Strong muscles and high levels of cardiovascular fitness can help prevent injuries. Healthy muscles are less prone to injury, less likely to tear and less likely to give in to stress than unhealthy, underdeveloped muscles. Service members who are in shape are less likely to become winded, suffer from cramps and debilitating conditions than their less-fit counterparts, which is particularly helpful during deployment operations and during routine physical fitness testing.

by Jessica Davis One of the ways churches can be most helpful to extremely vulnerable populations is by doing outreach to/with new immigrants. Because congregations often have members with different skills, passions, and schedules, they are well-suited to be in nurturing relationship with people who are starting over and need multiple kinds of help. Some basic guidelines for forming an immigration support team are below. Learn about the types of immigration in the U.S. There are many types and subtypes of immigration in the U.S. and it's important to know which kind(s) will be your congregation's focus. Often, congregations will want to help whomever it is that they see on the news and, while this makes sense, it's often not the most helpful approach. For example, in light of the recent increase in asylum-seekers entering the U.S., many congregations contacted me wanting to sponsor them. Often, I had to tell them that their efforts might cause more harm than good. Asylum-seekers are by far the most vulnerable category of immigrants … they cannot work for a minimum of six months, cannot receive help from the federal (and most state and local) governments, and can be deported if they inadvertently ask for help by filling out an incorrect form. To be useful to asylum-seekers, churches need to either be very experienced with other types of refugees first or work as part of a larger team that is headed up by people with the appropriate experience/expertise. But there are many types of immigrants needing many types of assistance, so there are always places for churches to be helpful. It's important to also be aware of the ways in which our biases show up in whom we feel called to help. By far the most common demographic of new immigrants to the U.S. are single males. However, congregations almost always want to sponsor families with children. In addition, white immigrants are exponentially more likely to receive assistance than POC immigrants, and Asian and Latine immigrants are exponentially more likely to receive assistance than Black immigrants. Talk with recent immigrants in your area about what they most need. The only way to know what people in crisis need is to ask. In some cases, this will start with case managers who have had contact with immigrants before they arrive but, whenever possible, the best source of information will be the people themselves. What patterns do you hear? Do folks have access to lots of services but no transportation to get there? Are they being hassled by the police? Trust the people directly affected to tell you how to help them and what to expect for the people coming soon after them. One important role churches can have for new immigrants is being a hub to connect people to already existing services. So often I hear "I've been here six months, and I never knew there was help available for xyz!" Gone are the days where a single agency can be a one-stop shop for everything immigrants need. So churches can do a lot of information-gathering to know who in the community is offering what types of assistance. Determine what you are called and able to do. After you hear from recent immigrants what their needs are, take a breath before agreeing to fill them all. It is easy to bite off more than we can chew; not meeting our commitments to immigrants can have very serious consequences for them. If we promise to provide transportation to all appointments for a year and then realize in three months that we don't have enough volunteers, we can put them at serious risk of homelessness and deportation. Be honest and clear in all agreements and be willing to say "I don't know," rather than give incorrect information or make commitments you can't fulfill. The "good news" about this situation is that there are many ways to provide help at every single stage of the process, from committing one hour a month to working phone lines or greeting people as they arrive in the country to committing 20+ hours a week to meet all the urgent needs of new asylum-seekers. Provide trauma-informed care It is crucial to understand that many immigrants, especially those who are coming through refugee/asylee processes, are fleeing horrific situations. Congregants who are interacting with them will need a basic education in trauma-informed care and know when to consult with church staff and refer to other professionals. Because immigrants are such a vulnerable population, it is crucial that all volunteers undergo criminal background checks, child safety trainings, and not work alone. Do frequent check-ins Often, new immigrants are so thankful to be receiving help that they won't tell us that the help we're providing is no longer what they need. There may be cultural misunderstandings that lead to frayed relationships. (One common experience I have is churches contacting me saying that the immigrant families are "letting their children run amok." After conversation, we often find that the families are coming to us from cultures where raising children is a community endeavor. Parents assume that those who know the rules and norms of the community will tell them to the children; volunteers assume that individual families are responsible for raising their own children and that it's rude to tell other people's kids what to do.) It's also important to expect some major theological, political, and ideological differences with people who are coming from cultures very different than ours. Decide as early as possible which things are simple differences of opinion and which are non-negotiables (e.g. homophobia, misogyny, physical disciplining of children) and what you will do if/when they come up. Also be open to the possibility that people will not be thankful to be here. Many types of immigrants coming from extreme situations have no choice about where they are sent; the U.S. is a very, very hard place to live. They may have lived in places where they had access to a robust social service network; it can be a massive blow to arrive here and find out that life in the U.S. for the poor and vulnerable is often terrible and terrifying. The only way to know how things are going is to ask and then give people permission to be brutally honest. Working with new immigrants requires emotional fortitude, humility, commitment, a sense of humor, and the ability to adapt. It is also one of scripture's most frequently repeated commandments and a true gift of community, for us even more than for those we serve.

Q: Dataframe fill up a column values by finding the occurence of an other one in an other Dataframe As you may have understood, my question is quite specific... So I have 2 dataframes with a column which could be seen as a "Pivot" column. All the values of this Pivot column are unique. Our goal is to add a new column to the first Dataframe containing the value of a column in the second one. This is what I tried for now, it unfortunately didn't work :/ df1['NewColumn] = '0' //I created the first column and set a default value df1.loc[df2['PivotCol'] == df1['PivotCol'], 'NewColumn'] = df2.loc[df2['PivotCol'] == df['PivotCol'], 'ColumnToMergeTo1stDataframe'].iloc[0] NewColumn is the newly created column in df1 which will be containing the value of ColumnToMergeTo1stDataframe which is in the df2... I hope that my problem is clear, don't hesitate to ask questions if it was not. Last but not least, sorry for bad english :) A: df = pd.merge(df1, df2[['Col Pivot', 'Col to Merge']], on='Col Pivot', how='left') A panda merge made the job :)

Neighbour pays tribute to tragic road death man A NEIGHBOUR has paid tribute to Edward Devine who died after being hit by a car on Wednesday night. Lorraine Howard Maisie Scott said Edward, or Eddie, as she would call him, was a "great neighbour." The 51-year-old, of Broomlands Place, was struck by a Saab while walking on the town's Long Drive just after 9pm on Wednesday. He later died in Crosshouse Hospital in Kilmarnock. The driver of the Saab was uninjured. Maisie, who lived two doors down from Edward, said: "We looked out for each other and I am sad to hear this news. "I know he spent Christmas with his mum in Renfrew and I thought he was still there so this comes as a real shock. "I would pay his window cleaner and quite often give him his lunch. "It seems very sad that this has happened, he was a great neighbour."

Since I've been actively trying to get my right thumb nail to fix itself (I have a split in the middle that won't heal and has been like this for the past 3+ years. I'm guessing it's from acrylic nails), I finally went to see a dermatologist to see what the dilly. He said it's called nail dystrophy and is caused by trauma to the cuticle. Ok, but how is it fixed? I did some research online and ew, not a pretty sight to google "split nail causes," or "nail trauma," as you can guess. Some causes of nail problems are nail fungus, which is pretty common, even in the fingernails. After my derm assured me that my thumb did not have a fungus and this was not the cause and that yes, it probably was caused by acrylics, I felt the need to find something to apply to my other nails, just to be sure. Again, eww. From our friends at QTICA is their Solid Gold Anti Bacterial Oil Gel and this one is a combo anti-bacteria formula and cuticle oil in a sanitary clear tube. Rice bran, almond and jojoba oils as well as tangerine, peppermint and tea tree. Just be careful you don't rub your eyes after applying this on your cuticles as the peppermint doesn't feel good in the eyes! $11/.5oz, $19.99/1.7oz @ qtica.com. I've been wearing this lippie a lot on the weekends and after 8 or 9 hours with it on, my lips are suffering with dryness and flaking. Thank goodness I been piling on the QTICA Intense Lip Repair Balm ($12 @ amazon.com). Not only does the menthol provide soothing relief but the honey, essential oils, aloe, tea tree and beeswax help to heal the delicate skin. If you are a regular reader then you've heard me complain and gripe about the state of my nails and that they peel and just never grow. So what's the secret to this one? "Sulfur amino acids and hydrolyzed proteins strengthen the nail by bonding and locking keratin together and creating and extra layer of nail to prevent peeling and protecting new nail growth." Simply apply a coat everyday and watch them grow. So will this go into the Hall of Fame? I want to give it more time but it looks good right now. Will keep you posted! Totally worth the $20/bottle @ amazon.com.

Intra-dermal administration of a one-fifth dose of yellow fever vaccine induced a protective immune response that lasted for 10 years after vaccination without requiring a booster dose. The study published in the Annals of Internal Medicine revealed that fractional dose of 17D yellow fever virus (17D-YFV) vaccine has been shown to be non-inferior to the standard dose in inducing seroprotection. Anna Roukens and associates conducted a study to evaluate whether fractional-dose vaccination can confer long-term immunity. The randomized, controlled trial was conducted from 2005 to 2007 at Leiden University Medical Center in the Netherlands and included 75 participants who provided blood samples at 10-year follow-up after receiving either a 0.1-millilitre (mL) fractional dose of the vaccine intradermally or the standard 0.5-mL dose subcutaneously. Participants who received a booster dose during the 10-year follow-up were excluded from the study. Both groups received the same vaccine, manufactured by Sanofi Pasteur. The study found that thirty-nine of 40 participants had protective levels of yellow fever–neutralizing antibodies more than 10 years after receiving a fractional dose of 17D-YFV vaccine compared with 34 of 35 in the standard-dose group. In 2006, the World Health Organization (WHO) began the Yellow Fever Initiative, which entailed preventive mass vaccination campaigns in western Africa and ensured an emergency stockpile of vaccines. But because the production of the yellow fever vaccine takes 12 months and uses pathogen-free embryonated eggs, production is difficult during a substantial outbreak. Yellow fever is an acute viral hemorrhagic disease transmitted by infected mosquitoes. The "yellow" in the name refers to jaundice that affects some patients. Symptoms of yellow fever include fever, headache, jaundice, muscle pain, nausea, vomiting, and fatigue. A small proportion of patients who contract the virus develop severe symptoms and approximately half of those die within 7 to 10 days.

Last week we reviewed the Vital Spots. In this post, we are going to learn how NOT TO BE A VICTIM! In Simple Self Defense our primary goal is to GET AWAY! We have multiple "weapons" available to us to help us achieve that goal. The lady above is biting the attackers arm. The woman below is kicking the attacker in the face. We've talked about the 10 second rule and about being prepared, having a plan. So this week, start thinking about weapons. The first thing that they teach you in self defense lessons is that everything can be a used as a weapon. In my opinion, it is the best possible way to teach people the importance of self defense. People often times view knifes and guns as the scariest things, but there are much more than that. In the hands of a professional, even a mere rock can cause damage to a person. It is important that we take note of this simple fact. Everyone should be able to protect themselves without carrying a weapon. Attackers have a plan, you should too!

President Barack Obama's social media operation is the latest victim of hackers after a group allied with Syrian President Bashar Assad attempted to redirect links on the president's Twitter and Facebook pages. According to ABC News, hackers from the Syrian Electric Army managed to get control of an online tool used by Organizing for Action, the advocacy organization for Obama, to redirect links sent from the president's social media accounts managed by the group. Obama's Facebook and Twitter pages carried links that were intended to take readers to a Washington Post story on immigration, but instead redirected readers to a video of the Syrian conflict. The group claimed responsibility for the hack in an email to Mashable, saying it was "showing the truth about Syria," ABC News reported. any Obama campaign emails accounts to assess his terrorism capabilities. They are quite high." It showed what appeared to be the Google email account of an Organizing for Action staffer, according to Reuters. Organizing for Action confirmed to ABC News that links were compromised but that the links had since been repaired. A Twitter spokesman told Reuters that Obama's Twitter account was not hacked. There is also no indication that the hackers got control of the president's Facebook account or BarackObama.com, according to ABC News. In August, the Syrian Electronic Army claimed responsibility for disrupting websites of The New York Times and The Washington Post.

Why leasing works for me RSL Surveyors is a chartered building surveyors based in Paignton with five full-time employees, it also operates serviced offices in Exeter and Wadebridge. As founding partner Simon French notes: "We tried virtual working from home but we found it didn't function as well. I like being in an office, chatting to my colleagues and bouncing ideas around. I also spend a lot of time in the car, which I use as an office. "I do around 16,000 miles per year, as does my business partner. We also have AutoCAD technicians who are more office-based and are probably doing about a third less than that on the road per year. Still, that's a lot of mileage overall. "I bought my last car personally because I thought that was the best way to do it. What I didn't realise was that there was a much better way." Simon French continues: "I took on board the depreciation and maintenance of my car and worked out how much I was actually spending a month. I then contacted Arval and discovered that it was much more financially viable to lease the car rather than buying it outright once I considered the whole life costs and the resale value after two years. "The thing is, people are looking at mileage very closely. Buying a second-hand car and selling it after a few years with very high mileage would have a big impact on the resale value. "It's also easy to forget that in the two or three years that you have a car you're going to change the tyres at least twice. It quickly adds up. Even with a new car, if something goes wrong that isn't covered by the manufacturer you've got to find the money to be able to fix it. For a lot of smaller businesses, if a car repair bill were to come in it's hard to find a spare few hundred pounds to sort it out. "Leasing gives you peace of mind. I know that if there's a problem Arval is going to come along, put it in the garage and sort it out. I don't even have to remember when to take in the car for a service or pay the tax, as I get an automatic reminder. With the hours that I work that's a godsend." Simon French adds: "I have a Vauxhall Insignia Estate on a lease that costs £330 per month. Nowadays I wouldn't consider buying a vehicle, because I worked out that I was saving around £130 per month switching to a lease through Arval. "The choice of car is also much wider. I can look at opportunities to drive cars that I wouldn't have if I was trying to buy them outright. If I was to have chosen not to have the maintenance option provided by Arval, it would have reduced my payment by nearly £50 a month. But having maintenance covered means a lot, as there will be no surprises. However some may feel that a new car shouldn't have issues and therefore its not needed. With my mileage the cost of new tyres would be the same as three months maintenance, so for me maintenance was a 'no brainer.' "And what's more, if anything goes wrong I take my vehicle in and I get a courtesy car. Plus leasing a more modern car is very cost effective. Not only are you saving in terms of the fuel economy, you're not having to deal with the tantrums that an older car throws at you. My new two-litre car delivers better mpg than my wife's car, which is a 1.2 litre. "The reality is that Arval offers real peace of mind and the economics of it all makes sense. Sorting it all out it was very easy and all the paperwork was really fast. It's as simple as telling them what sort of car you want."

Trench ist das fünfte Studioalbum des US-amerikanischen Musikduos Twenty One Pilots, das am 5. Oktober 2018 bei Fueled by Ramen veröffentlicht wurde. Es ist das erste Studioalbum der Band seit drei Jahren und dient als Nachfolger ihres vierten Studioalbums Blurryface (2015). Das Album ist auch die erste Veröffentlichung der neu gegründeten Elektra Music Group. Dem Album ging die Veröffentlichung von vier Singles voraus. Die ersten beiden, "Jumpsuit" und "Nico and the Niners", wurden beide am 11. Juli 2018 veröffentlicht. Die dritte Single "Levitate" wurde am 8. August 2018 veröffentlicht. Die vierte Single, My Blood, erschien am 27. August 2018. Produktion Twenty One Pilots veröffentlichten am 17. Mai 2015 ihr viertes Studioalbum Blurryface. Das Album war unter den Top 200 Alben laut Billboard und hatte zwei Top-5-Singles, "Stressed Out" und "Ride", die auf Platz zwei bzw. Platz fünf der Billboard Hot 100 lagen. Die Songs, zusammen mit der Single "Heathens" aus dem Suicide Squad Soundtrack, führten die Band 2016 zum Mainstream-Erfolg. Von 2015 bis 2017 startete das Duo zwei Welttourneen mit dem Ziel, das Album zu promoten. Nach den fünf letzten Terminen der Tournee, der "Tour De Columbus", begann am 6. Juli 2017 eine einjährige Pause der Band. Die konzeptionelle Welt von "Trench" entstand, bevor einer der Songs aus dem Album geschrieben worden war, und löste sich vom regulären Songwriting-Prozess der Band, bei dem sie das Album Song für Song erstellen sollten. Es ist unklar, wann die Produktion von Trench begann, aber Tyler Joseph arbeitete bereits 2015, während der Blurryface Tour, an dem Track "Bandito". Tyler Joseph produzierte die vierzehn Titel des Albums in seinem privaten Heimstudio, während Josh Duns Schlagzeugspuren in den United Recording Studios aufgenommen wurden. Mutemath Frontmann und Keyboarder Paul Meany hat einen Großteil des Projekts koproduziert und mitgeschrieben, nachdem er zuvor mit Twenty One Pilots für die TOPxMM Remix EP und auf der Emotional Roadshow World Tour zusammengearbeitet hatte. Adam Hawkins mischte das Album in seiner Gesamtheit. Der Stichtag, an dem das Album abgeschlossen war der 15. August 2018, weniger als zwei Monate vor der Veröffentlichung des Albums. Titel Rezensionen Trench wurde überwiegend positiv bewertet. Philipp Kause von Laut.de vergab vier von fünf Sternen und lobt insbesondere die verschiedenen Genres, in denen sich das Album bewegt. Auch wenn das Album laut Jakob Uhlig von Plattentests.de "in seiner Gesamtlänge ein paar Filler hat, durch die das Album leider einiges an Potenzial liegen lässt", bietet ihm das Album "über weite Strecken dennoch ein spannendes Erlebnis". Von ihm erhielt das Album sechs von zehn Punkten. Chartplatzierungen Auszeichnungen für Musikverkäufe Einzelnachweise Album 2018 Album (Rock)

Photo: WEC/Adrenal Media Toyota takes win in Shanghai as Porsche seals WEC titles A dominant victory in the penultimate round of the 2017 FIA World Endurance Championship for Toyota was not enough to prevent Porsche from winning the World Manufacturers' Championship today in Shanghai. Second place for the No.2 Porsche 919 Hybrid crew of Timo Bernhard, Earl Bamber and Brendon Hartley gave them a well-deserved 2017 FIA World Endurance Drivers' title with one round remaining. It is Bernhard and Hartley's second championship title (first in 2015) and Bamber's first. Toyota's No.8 TS050 HYBRID of Kazuki Nakajima, Anthony Davidson and Sébastien Buemi led a convincing display by the Japanese manufacturer, although the result could have been very different in terms of the race result and the championship situation had the No.7 Toyota of José Maria Lopez not clashed with one of the leading GTE Pro cars in the final hour. The result saw the Japanese car forced to pit and the two Porsche 919 Hybrids move up to second and third, while the delayed Toyota ultimately came in fourth. It was Toyota Gazoo Racing's fourth win of the season meaning that the eight races have been completely split between the Japanese marque and their rivals Porsche, with one round remaining. Rounding out the podium in Shanghai was the No.1 Porsche 919 Hybrid of Neel Jani, André Lotterer and Nick Tandy. Their race was compromised in the first hour when Tandy slowed with a throttle sensor issue. It was an ultra-successful day for Porsche as they also took the FIA World Endurance Manufacturers Championship, and as with the Drivers' title it was also the third consecutive time Porsche has lifted the trophy. An enthusiastic crowd of 58,000 spectators over the weekend at Shanghai International Circuit saw a memorable event and went home having witnessed an incredible race which was full of action, drama and tension. Vaillante Rebellion take epic LMP2 contest One of the best ever LMP2 races was won by the No.31 Vaillante Rebellion squad in Shanghai as Bruno Senna, Nicolas Prost and Julien Canal triumphed for the third time this season. In a race of incident and excitement Senna laid the foundations for the win which takes him and Canal to the lead of the championship by four points (Prost having missed a race earlier in the year). Their chief rivals during the race were the Jackie Chan DC Racing trio of Oliver Jarvis, Ho-Pin Tung and Thomas Laurent. The three-time category winners had seemed to have built a race-winning platform after a stellar double stint from Jarvis, but then a fraught final two hours saw a collision between their No.38 ORECA 07 and the No.26 G-Drive Racing car. Damage to the front of their car meant they eventually finished in fourth position. Runners-up in Shanghai today were the Signatech Alpine crew of Nicolas Lapierre, Gustavo Menezes and André Negrão. Today's result keeps Menezes in outside contention for the LMP2 Drivers' crown. Making it two Vaillante Rebellion entries in the top three was the No.13 car of Nelson Piquet Jr, David Heinemeier-Hansson and Mathias Beche. They recovered from contact on the opening lap to score their second podium position of the season, with Dane Heinemeier Hansson having a particularly strong race. The final round of the 2017 WEC season is the Bapco 6 Hours of Bahrain which will race into the night on Saturday 18th November.

Boris Johnson and Newcastle City Council join forces to demand better deal Newcastle City Council has joined forces with London mayor Boris Johnson to demand more freedom for England's great cities Jonathan Walker 09:42, 1 OCT 2013 A North East council has joined forces with London mayor Boris Johnson to demand more freedom for England's great cities. Newcastle City Council is part of a campaign to demand that big cities get powers similar to those of Scotland - including the right to raise taxes. They say the cash would be used for schemes to help the economy. And the campaign was launched by Tory mayor Boris at the Conservative conference in Manchester. Nick Forbes, Newcastle City Council Leader, said "London has secured substantial additional funding, powers and responsibilities from central government, and they're pushing for much more. "It's vital that cities like Newcastle aren't left behind. By working more closely with other major cities across the country, including London, we can put a stronger case for securing the powers we need to make Newcastle a successful working city, with more freedom and resources to invest in our own priorities, grow our local economy and create new jobs for the future". The campaign has been led by the Core Cities group, which includes Newcastle, Birmingham, Bristol, Leeds, Liverpool, Manchester, Nottingham and Sheffield. Meanwhile, Conservatives will today announce plans to make GPs available to patients from 8am to 8pm, seven days a week. The move will help thousands who struggle to find GP appointments that fit in with their family and work life, Conservatives will say. And the new arrangements will be piloted in nine areas of the country - one in ever region - with a £50m fund for pioneering GP practices. David Cameron, said: "Millions of people find it hard to get an appointment to see their GP at a time that fits in with their work and family life. "We want to support GPs to modernise their services so they can see patients from 8am to 8pm, seven days a week. "We also want greater flexibility, so people can speak to their family doctor on the phone, send them an email or even speak to them on Skype." But one North East MP has warned that Conservatives must increase wages for the lowest-paid if it hopes to win power for the long term. Guy Opperman said Conservatives must become the party known for raising the salaries of working people. The MP, who represents Hexham in Northumberland, is one of a number of Conservative MPs pushing David Cameron to adopt what they call "blue collar Conservatism". They have formed an internal party pressure group called "Renewal" which backs measures including building a million new homes between 2015 and 2020, increasing the minimum wage and cutting fuel duty. Mr Opperman told activists: "I'm a North East MP and I'm lucky enough to represent Hexham. "But even in Hexham which you may think is all leafy our average earnings are £18,500 and our areas of social deprivation are considerable."

New London, N.H. — Benjamin Acard died peacefully at home in New London with his family and friends by his side on Tuesday, Aug. 7, 2018. He was born on April 6, 1939, in Brooklyn, N.Y. On July 12, 1975 Benjamin married his soulmate Jan K. Acard, who predeceased him on Aug. 10, 2014. He is survived by his children, Adam Acard, Brian Acard and Renee Acard; as well as grandchildren, Michael, Christopher, Lisa, Carolyn, Nigel; and great-granddaughter, Emma. He is also survived by his brother, Perry Acard and his wife Barbara. Benjamin retired in the year 2000 as Vice President of International Sales for International Forest Products Corporation. He was a true life file clerk to executive success story. In the early 1960's he was hired by Westvaco in Manhattan to file tariffs which needed to paid by the company. He caught the attention of his supervisors when he came up with a more efficient way to do the job. By the mid and late 1960's Benjamin had been elevated to the international sales force, and began a 35-year career of traveling the world. During his travels he made lifelong friends from around the globe, and saw more beautiful land and historic locations than most people get to experience in a lifetime. In retirement, Benjamin and Jan fulfilled their dream of building a home in a small New England town. In New London Benjamin became actively involved as a volunteer instructor in the Adults In Learning program. He also enjoyed doing volunteer work for the New London Historical Society. Following the passing of Jan he became actively involved with two weekly men's discussion groups where he developed new and meaningful friendships which brought him great joy during these last few years. Benjamin never stopped seeking to learn new things, and besides spending time with his family, his greatest joys were pouring a scotch, playing classical music and reading a book from his extensive library. A private memorial service will be announced by the family in the coming days. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations in Benjamin's name be made for cancer research to Dartmouth-Hitchcock, Norris Cotton Cancer Center (www.dartmouth-hitchcock.org), or Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (https://giving.mskcc.org).

STARS OF SCREEN, SPORT AND CHARITY RECOGNISED IN NEW YEAR HONOURS LIST Household names from the worlds of showbiz, sport and politics have been recognised in the New Year Honours list British-born Australian songstress Olivia Newton-John is among an array of figures from the arts, having been made a dame for services to charity, cancer research and entertainment, while critically acclaimed Bond director Sam Mendes gets a knighthood for his contribution to drama. From politics, Tory MP Iain Duncan Smith, the architect of the controversial Universal Credit system, is knighted alongside colleague Bob Neill. Elsewhere, England's cricketing heroes, including Joe Root and Ben Stokes, are recognised after their World Cup triumph. Schoolboy Ibrahim Yousaf, the youngest person on the list at 13, is handed a British Empire Medal for raising thousands for his community in Oldham. He is joined by a clutch of recipients in their 90s, including veterans of D-Day and the Battle of Arnhem. Grease star Newton-John, who moved to Australia with her family as a five-year-old, told the PA news agency: "I am extremely excited, honoured and grateful beyond words to be included with such an esteemed group of women who have received this distinguished award before me. "As a girl born in Cambridge, I am very proud of my British ancestry and so appreciative to be recognised in this way by the United Kingdom." Mendes, who has directed two Bond films as well as multiple international theatre productions, said he was "amazed, delighted and extremely proud". Academics from the fields of health and science are honoured for their work along with two Holocaust survivors, the designer behind a seminal Joy Division album cover, and researchers looking into climate change. D-Day veteran Harry Billinge, 94, whose fundraising efforts have made headlines around the world, is made an MBE for services to charity. Mr Billinge, from St Austell in Cornwall, was just 18 when he landed on Gold Beach in Normandy on June 6 1944. Battle of Arnhem veteran Wilfred Oldham, 99, from Bury, receives an MBE for services to commemorations and UK/Dutch relations in the Diplomatic Service and Overseas list. Elsewhere, James Charles Macaulay Booth, from Somerset, and Grace Friar, from Northumberland, who were born on the same day 98 years ago, were recognised for services to their community and charity. One of the younger recipients of an MBE, 27-year-old Mete Coban, from Hackney in London, said he was proud to receive an award for services to young people - 22 years after he was moments from being kicked out of the country when border force officers arrived outside his home. Mr Coban, originally from northern Cyprus, said: "My parents were served their last notice to be deported back to northern Cyprus, so I think the significance for them to see their son, 23 years later go on and be recognised by the honours system, I think it's huge. I want to make sure I can do it in the right way." In total, 1,097 people receive awards, the Cabinet Office said, with 50.7% going to women - the second highest for a New Year Honours list, after 51% in 2014. England midfielder Jill Scott, who also receives an MBE for services to women's football, said she initially feared the serious-sounding phone call was to do with a parking fine. She said: "I had a phone call when I was in Marks & Spencer. I nearly dropped all my Christmas decorations. "I thought I was in trouble at first, I thought I hadn't paid a car parking fine or something." Susan Campbell, director of women's football at the Football Association, becomes a dame for services to sport, while journalist and former gymnast Gabby Logan, 46, is made an MBE for services to sports broadcasting and promoting women in sport. Cricket, unsurprisingly, features heavily after England's first men's World Cup victory last summer. Off the back of the triumph, 28-year-old Stokes, the newly-crowned BBC Sports Personality of the Year, will be given an OBE. One-day international captain Eoin Morgan gets a CBE and teammates Root and Jos Buttler become MBEs. Coach Trevor Bayliss is made an OBE and Clive Lloyd, 75, a former West Indies team captain, sees his CBE upgraded to a knighthood for services to the game. Entertainment is well represented, with 12 Years A Slave director Steve McQueen becoming a knight for services to film. Several musicians have also made the prestigious list, including Billy Ocean, 69, born Leslie Sebastian Charles, who becomes an MBE for services to music. Snow Patrol lead singer Gary Lightbody is made an OBE for services to music and charity in Northern Ireland after he set up the Lightbody Foundation, which gives annual donations to charities across the country. Michael Prendergast, founding member of Merseybeat group The Searchers, becomes an MBE, while Peter Saville, the man behind the Joy Division album cover for Unknown Pleasures, is made a CBE for services to design. Chef Ainsley Harriott and Bake Off winner Nadiya Hussain are made MBEs, while food writer Nigel Slater gets an OBE for services to cookery and literature. Mr Harriott, a mainstay of television cookery shows, told PA: "When I was first told about it, I immediately thought about my dear late mum - which really choked me up, because I know how proud she would have been. "Her boy's proud too - it's a great honour for me and for everyone who has helped me on my way." Wine writer and broadcaster Robert "Oz" Clarke gets an OBE for services to journalism, while BBC Radio 1's longest-serving presenter Annie Nightingale gets a CBE for services to radio after previously receiving an MBE. The businessman behind The Black Farmer brand of meat and dairy products, Wilfred Emmanuel-Jones, 62, gets an MBE for services to British farming. Mr Duncan Smith's knighthood was condemned by opposition parties, after an Institute for Fiscal Studies report in April found Universal Credit - which the former cabinet minister helped introduce - disproportionately reduced incomes among poorer adults. Liberal Democrat MP Christine Jardine said: "It beggars belief that Iain Duncan Smith has been rewarded in the New Year Honours list. "He is the architect of Universal Credit - a failed system that has left thousands of families struggling to pay bills and buy food." Elsewhere, Labour MP for Hull North Diana Johnson is made a dame for charitable and political service for her years in the House of Commons. Holocaust survivors Mindu Hornick and John Hajdu get MBEs for services to Holocaust education and commemoration. Ms Hornick, who lives in Birmingham, told PA: "I'm 90 now and it is always an effort to do (Holocaust Memorial days) but with everything that is going on in the world today - with Islamophobia, anti-Semitism and other unacceptable things that are happening, I think it is important to educate young people." In the performing arts, actor Rudolph Walker, who played Patrick Trueman in EastEnders and Bill Reynolds in 1970s sitcom Love Thy Neighbour, gets a CBE for services to drama and charity, while Coronation Street actor Derek Griffiths - who played Freddie Smith from 2016-17 - gets an MBE for services to drama and diversity. Griffiths' fellow Play School presenter Floella Benjamin, Baroness of Beckenham, is made a dame for services to charity. She told PA: "When I came to Britain aged 10 (from Trinidad) I had a pretty tough time, people told me to go back, they didn't want me here. "And I realised that I was worthy because my parents kept telling me that. "Getting this award is a bit of me getting something back - unconditional love people have shown to me - and I'm really thrilled about it." Playwright James Graham, also known for the film Brexit: The Uncivil War, gets an OBE for services to drama and to young people in British theatre with his work at the National Youth Theatre. Graham was "surprised and flattered" to get the honour, saying: "Like everyone else, you don't imagine or expect this kind of thing growing up, or when you're starting out." He added: "I'm pretty sure I haven't earned it yet, but I'll do my best to justify it in the future." Hamilton actor Giles Terera, who won an Olivier Award for the role of Aaron Burr in the West End, gets an MBE for services to theatre. Terera said he was "surprised, happy and very thankful to receive this". He told PA: "If I have actively sought anything in my career as an actor it has been to do that which honours those who came before me and encourages those who come after me. "This acknowledgement only strengthens my resolve to do both." Nature conservationist and television presenter Steve Backshall becomes an MBE, and wildlife cameraman Gordon Buchanan, whose credits include Planet Earth II, is made an MBE for services to conservation and wildlife film-making. In the field of health, NHS England and NHS Improvement chief executive Simon Stevens is knighted for services to the NHS, as is neuroscientist Professor Menelas Pangalos for services to UK science. Caroline Palmer Yeates, chief executive of the Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust, has her CBE upgraded to a damehood for services to cancer medicine. Professor Alan Lehmann, research professor of molecular genetics at the University of Sussex, is made a CBE for services to medical science thanks to his research into two rare genetic conditions. Several people working in the environmental field have also been recognised. Professor Duncan Wingham, professor of climate physics at University College London, is knighted for services to climate science, and Oxford University's Professor Sarah Whatmore becomes a dame for her services to the study of environmental policy. The Cabinet Office said 72% of recipients are people who have undertaken outstanding work in their communities, with 9.1% of honours going to those from a BAME background. Organisers said no honours would be considered for those involved in the relief effort or the aftermath of the 2017 Grenfell Tower tragedy until the conclusion of the public inquiry, the second phase of which will start in January. Likewise, those involved in preventing further disaster in November's London Bridge terror attack are expected to be considered in future awards lists.

Q: Geometry -- intersect of 2 circles and 1 polygon How to compute green area? Is there known procedure to compute intersect area of 2..n circles and 1 arbitrary polygon (exclude self-intersect polygons)? A: First compute the points of intersection. To intersect a circle with a line, you can describe a generic point on the line as $a+\lambda b$ for $\lambda\in\mathbb R$, $a$ any point on the line and $b$ the direction of the line. Plugging this formula into the equation of the circle will give an equation quadratic in $\lambda$. To intersect two circles, you can subtract their equations to obtain a linear equation which you can again interpret as the equation of a line. Once you have these coordinates, you can describe the colored area as the sum of a triangle and two circular segments. With respect to generic approaches: CGAL Arrangements compute intersections by splitting the outlines of shapes into pieces which are easy to describe and monotonous in $x$. In its current version it doesn't compute areas, but there is no principal problem against that.

In conjunction with the MLB Network, there will be four separate awards programs aired, with (as I understand it) a pair of awards per program, Monday through Thursday. Should be good programming, and more compact than in past years when the process was spread over a couple of calendar weeks. That's the lesser change. The greater change is this: According to the plan, during the week before those four programs, there will be a special to announce the finalists: three apiece for Manager of the Year, Rookie of the Year, and Cy Young Awards; five finalists for each of the Most Valuable Player Awards. Set design by the same folks who designed their website? Yet another reason to cancel Direct TV. Admit it - you'll all watch to see if Steve Lyons has a wardrobe malfunction. Here's hoping the Philly branch gets seats right in front of the camera. They should do like the NHL and have an awards ceremony.

Web services provider Network Solutions disclosed Friday that hackers broke into its servers and stole information on more than 573,000 debit and credit card accounts from its customers over the past three months. The Herndon firm discovered in early June that unknown attackers hacked into servers that provide e-commerce services such as Web site hosting and payment processing to at least 4,343 small to mid-size online stores -- about half of its customer base. The hackers left behind malicious code, which allowed them to intercept personal and financial information for people who made purchases at the stores hosted on those servers, Network Solutions spokeswoman Susan Wade said. Wade said the company is working with federal law enforcement and a commercial data breach forensics team to determine the cause and source of the break-in. Stolen payment data include transactions made between March 12 and June 8. Network Solutions has begun notifying affected stores by e-mail and postal mail, and it is offering to notify the stores' customers as well. Forty-five states and the District of Columbia have enacted laws requiring customer notification when a data breach or loss jeopardizes the security of information, but the rules for complying with those laws differ from state to state. "We feel terribly about it, to burden them with the notification process, which can be kind of tricky because there is no one federal data breach statute," Wade said. Network Solutions also is offering to pay for 12 months of credit monitoring service through TransUnion for each consumer whose financial and personal data were compromised.

It is expected that cyberattacks are going to intensify and increase over the next few years. To avoid falling victim to such a security breach, businesses must take a number of steps to ensure computer protection and information security. However, it should also be noted that unprotected or outdated systems are not the only source of security vulnerabilities. One of the biggest threats a company has that puts it at risk for an attack or data breach is its internal users. Lack of cybersecurity awareness and training can put organisations at a significantly higher susceptibility to cybercriminals. Security doesn't just mean taking measures to prevent the attacks but also providing training and guidance on how to handle incident response in the event that an incident occurs. As of May 2018, the NIS (Networks and Information Systems) Directive will come into effect in the UK, this will apply irrespective of Brexit. The UK business network and information systems are essential services that support and play a vital role in British society, it's essential that these remain reliable and fall in line with up-to-date security protocols. Cyber security threats have been on the increase over the years. With this in mind, the EU took action in 2013 to plan and ensure that member states are prepared in the event of a cyberattack. A proposal was rolled out and subsequently became a European directive in August 2016, this has given countries enough time for their respective national laws to act upon it. The aim of the NIS Directive is to eradicate incidents involving network and information systems, as well as potentially enhancing Britain's infrastructure and economy. Without implementing the NIS Directive, incidents such as the 2015 attack on Ukraine's electricity chain, the 2016 attack on US water utilities and last year's WannaCry ransomware attack could become more of a regular occurrence. Essentially, the NIS Directive will highlight overall cyber security and know-how in Britain and the EU for companies and organisation's identified as either operators of essential services (OES) or Competent Authorities (CAs). These groups rely heavily on information networks and will need to enhance their security appropriately – ensuring the management of risks involved with their network/information structures. The NIS directive provides an opportunity to put plans in place to improve the state of national cyber security. Process Safety Solutions is providing support to clients and is committed to a seamless and effective approach to implementing the NIS Directive requirements. PSS can assist by developing company cyber security standards and guidance and advise clients on how to build a secure internal cyber security program. The deadline for member states to fall in line with the Directive requirements is the 9th of May 2018 – contact PSS if you would like to learn more about NIS Directive.

Adam Scott (photo courtesy European Tour, ©Getty Images). Four of Scott's eight European Tour victories have been in Asia, and with the Ballantine's Championship celebrating its fifth anniversary this year the World Number Nine is targeting a fifth European Tour title of his own in the continent. The 31 year old from Adelaide will head to Korea in good form after a wonderful 2011 season in which he finished joint runner-up behind Charl Schwartzel in the Masters Tournament before winning the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational. After a share of 11th place in the WGC – Cadillac Championship a fortnight ago, Scott returns to Augusta National next month before travelling to Korea for the €2,205,000 Ballantine's Championship aiming to follow in the footsteps of his compatriot Marcus Fraser, who won the title in 2010. "I'm really looking forward to getting back to Korea and playing in the Ballantine's Championship," said Scott. "It's been a long time since I played in Korea – I think 2002 was my last visit – so it is certainly time for me to go back and hopefully challenge for a championship. "My form this season has been okay. I haven't played that much, but I'm planning on really getting into it now and kicking off for a run at the Masters, the Ballantine's Championship and beyond. So I have been pacing myself a little bit, but I am hoping to pick up on where I left off last year. In addition to the strong international line-up that includes Open Champion Darren Clarke, Ryder Cup stars Miguel Angel Jiménez and Ian Poulter, and American Dustin Johnson, Scott is expecting a strong home challenge for the title led by 2009 US PGA Champion YE Yang. Scott has first-hand experience of the strength of Korean golf from the Presidents Cup, and he is impressed by what he has seen on the world stage. "Golf is growing fast globally and certainly in Asia," he said. "I have played a lot of golf in Asia and it's a fantastic environment. The fans are enthusiastic and they have a lot to be enthusiastic about with world class golfers being produced on a yearly basis. "Obviously YE Yang winning a Major Championship was a big coup and they also have young guys like Noh (Seung-yul), who is an exceptional talent and who is going to be a world beater one day. The sport is growing fast in Korea, it's getting a lot of support and that's good to see.

How can I use Sealed Secrets in my Replicated Kubernetes Application? I use the bitnami sealed secrets controller to manage secrets in my production Kubernetes environment. Does Replicated support Sealed Secrets? How can I deploy Sealed Secrets into my kubernetes application running in Replicated? One of the primary goals of Replicated is to unify the architectures of your SaaS app and your on-prem version. You shouldn't be delivering any secrets from your app into your on-prem installs. All sensitive information for an on-prem instance will be stored securely in the instance, encrypted with a keypair that does not leave the instance. With this in mind, the recommended workflow is to store core kubernetes manifests in a git repo, and use a tool like kustomize to manage patching your manifests for different environments. A rough mock-up of how this might work is shown below.

What is NAFTA? February 6, 2011 , Jodel X , Leave a comment NAFTA stands for North American Free Trade Agreement, which is signed by the governments of Canada, Mexico and the United States of America. This agreement came into effect in January 1, 1994 and started the trilateral trade bloc in the North America. The main goal of NAFTA is to eradicate the stumbling block of trade and investment among the three countries. After the implementation of the agreement, the United States immediately eliminated more than one half of the tariffs from its import from Mexico and more than one third of the country's export to Mexico. Most of the US-Canada trade was already free of tariffs. The agreement includes in its provisions that after 10 years of the implementation, the tariff trade between U.S. and Mexico will all be eliminated. However, this does not include some U.S. agricultural exports to Mexico. The U.S. agricultural exports to Mexico were set to be tariff free in 15 years. NAFTA is not limited to trades with tariffs but it also intends to eliminate non-tariff trade barriers. There are specific reasons why NAFTA was formed. Below are some of these reasons: Signatories will be granted the 'Most Favored Nation' status, which means all members receive the same trade benefits as all other members. To take away all barriers of trade and smooth the progress of cross-border movements of products and services. Encourage the status of fair competition. Encourage opportunities for investments. Protect and enforce intellectual property rights. Generate courses of actions to resolve trade disputes. To expand NAFTA's benefits by establishing framework for further trilateral, regional, and multilateral cooperation. Many are wondering if NAFTA has fulfilled its purpose. The answer is that NAFTA was able to manage the elimination of trade barriers. It has also fulfilled its purpose of encouraging investment opportunities, established procedures for resolution of trade disputes and most importantly, it has created a great increase in the competitiveness of the three signatory countries in terms of their involvement in the global market. Establishing competitiveness in the global market has been significantly important after the formation of the European Union or EU. Although NAFTA has fulfilled its purpose, many are still blaming it for the reduction of some available jobs in several sectors. There is also evidence that there has been a decrease in the feasibility of small business in some sectors. Moreover, it was also blamed for the overall imbalance in the economy of the three countries. However, still, there are many analysts who touted NAFTA's compassion contributing to the improved North American GDP. Contrary to what NAFTA critics insisted, many analysts stress that the agreement did create more jobs, and that the transparency between the three countries has greatly increased. Moreover, exports have also been seen to intensify. On the other hand, NAFTA, like any other agreement is not considered to be perfect for all members. Some issues had come up as a result of the agreement. Criticisms were thrown at issues like; NAFTA is a threat to the Canadian water supply and ecosystem, jobs for specific sectors that are important have greatly decreased. There are also criticisms on how the three countries committed NAFTA violations. However, no matter how imperfect NAFTA is, the important thing is that it helped the economy of its member countries.

Isolate harmonics before they can destroy your engine. The VAC/ATi design and developement team brings harmonic control to the BMW N52 and N54 engines. If you are breaking crankshafts and oil pumps, the cause may be a mystery to you as it has been to many of our customers. We know that controlling the harmonic resonance of the BMW 6 is highly important as RPMs rise, but the ideal configuration of the inline-6 motor makes even experienced engine builders overlook some fundamental principals of engine harmonics that can be destructive. FACT: harmonics CAN destroy these motors despite their ideal 'inline six' balance. Popular word on the street says the OEM units do not fail, but we have dozens of clients who prove otherwise. Some racers would bring a few spare units to each event -not any more. Simply fitting their engines with the VAC damper solved their issue and restored confidence in the powertrain. These VAC exclusive dampers eliminate nearly all unstable crankshaft harmonic vibration which allows the engine to produce more horsepower and torque, maintain reliability and ensure internal engine wear in minimized. This new design has an integral pulley so there is no need for an additional pulley as the other models do. ATI Performance Products, Inc. is located in Baltimore, MD, and specializes in producing and maintaining high performance products for street and strip applications. Over the years ATI has earned a reputation for its cutting edge technology, attention to detail and rigorous testing under race conditions. We are proud to have them as an exclusive partner in these BMW applications.

Why Your Co-Founder Is Your Key To Success (Or Failure) James Kaikis, Co-founder of the PreSales Collective They say you aren't serious about your side hustle until you go full-time. Well, this month I did just that. Leaving the luxuries of job security and a salary is difficult to do. Mix in a global pandemic and I'm either hellbent on making an impact or just mildly crazy. Throughout my life I've always had some sort of side hustle I was passionate about. While none of them were ever intended to be full-time jobs, those experiences prepared me for my venture today as a full-time founder of the PreSales Collective. But this story isn't about me, it's about my co-founder, Yuji Higashi. I've learned that the key to building a successful venture is realizing that you can't do it alone. Two heads are better than one. But that's if, and only if, you use them to have a multiplier effect. You've heard it before: The other person must have skills that complement your own. That said, many people say you just need a tech partner and a sales partner. I'm here to tell you that I disagree. Does that more limited list potentially make it easier? Yes. But unfortunately, there is no easy recipe for success. What I can tell you though is this: You need to have a similar vision and a complementary skill set. Here are four founding principles that I've come to learn through Yuji's and my journey that can help you make the right decision in choosing your co-founder: 1. Shared vision Researchers who study executives' work activities estimate that only 3 percent of the typical business leader's time is spent envisioning and enlisting, according to Harvard Business Review. But vision is the second-most valued trait in a leader according to that same research, so finding a partner with a shared passion for creating a compelling vision is vital. For example, Yuji and I both started local presales communities in Seattle and Chicago, respectively. We were talking about our groups and agreed that if you were not in one of five cities with a local group, how would you connect with other presales professionals outside of your company? A virtual community was needed to connect around the globe. According to Accenture, research shows that "trust between managers and employees is the primary defining characteristic of the very best workplaces." The best workplaces beat "the average annualized returns of the S&P 500 by a factor of three." The data doesn't lie here, big or small, trust is one of the most important aspects of any relationship. On a few occasions, Yuji and I have disagreed about how we should handle things moving forward. Once Yuji wanted to release our Slack environment, but I didn't feel comfortable doing it and was taking a hard stance against it. I felt it was too early and we were still searching for how people interacted with the community. Yuji laid out his vision, the pros and cons, and how this would impact the community. Looking back, releasing our Slack environment ended up being one of the best decisions we ever made: Our Slack workspace has been the pillar creating true two-way communication within our community. 3. Commitment Atlassian did a study that showed 60 percent or less of work time is actually spent productively. As someone building a new business, it is impossible to reach your goals with those types of productivity numbers. A former colleague and serial entrepreneur advised me to make sure that me and my co-founder are in the same "life space." What he was implying is that if the two of us weren't both ready to sacrifice personal time and put the hours in, it wouldn't work. The teeter-totter of who is doing more work will always fluctuate in the beginning until you find that appropriate cadence, especially when you haven't made the leap to full-time entrepreneur. However, the overall commitment to put the work in must exist. In our case, seven days and 60-80 hours per week became the norm and we are both in agreement on that. 4. Integrity The Economist says it plainly: Integrity is the quality both employees and leaders say matters most in leadership. Acting with integrity means your customers, colleagues and employees know you'll do the right thing even when it's difficult, and that's exactly who people want to be in charge. Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff said, "businesses have souls," and I believe this. As you create a new company, there are many opportunities to sell snake oil, paint a vision that you can't execute on, or even spew bullshit without being held accountable. Yuji and I have made it a priority to live by our mission and vision. We don't want those to be merely words on paper (or slides), but a guide to truly walking the walk. Integrity and being a good person go a long way in business nowadays. There are many trajectory-altering decisions that need to be made in the early stage and, if operating with good intentions, you can navigate those without having to compromise your values. How many companies have taken shortcuts or glossed over items because they didn't believe they would get caught? Compound those decisions and you're operating without integrity, which will come back to haunt you in the end. While this is not an exhaustive list, these four principles are critical components to building a thriving venture with the right co-founder. The road to success is long and winding, and includes a number of forks along the way. Listing out roles and responsibilities goes a long way as you take down action items. However, aligned values will help you get out of your own way and achieve milestones faster. Success doesn't happen overnight, no matter what anyone tells you. Nothing comes without hard work, flawless execution, and relentless focus. While some may say you need to sprinkle in a little luck, Shellye Archambeau says in her book "Unapologetically Ambitious," "I learned that success is about preparing for opportunities to appear, so you are ready to take advantage of them when they do. That way, as I like to say, you can make your own luck." James Kaikis Yuji Higashi James Kaikis is the co-founder of the PreSales Collective, the largest global community for PreSales professionals. Kaikis has spent his technology career in a variety of company sizes including startups, scale-ups and enterprise, including Salesforce.com. His experience is in both presale and postsale roles, relentlessly focused on customer centricity through the customer journey.

These spring rolls are a light and refreshing way to use seasonal produce! For sauce: In a small saucepot, heat sesame oil over medium heat. Add fennel seeds and sauté for about 30 seconds. Add remaining ingredients and bring to a simmer for about 1 minute. Remove from heat and set aside for flavors to develop. Let cool before serving. For spring rolls: Fill a pie pan or other shallow dish with very warm water. Submerge one of the rice papers in water until softened but still slightly stiff, 10 to 15 seconds. (If you wait until it is entirely softened, it's more likely to tear when you assemble the rolls.) Lay softened wrapper on your work surface. Build spring rolls by bunching ingredients in the center in this order: lettuce, julienne vegetables and cilantro. Lift the bottom of the wrapper and fold over filling, flattening wrapper around filling so no air bubbles form. Tuck it back. Begin folding the wrapper away from you. Fold in sides to form an envelope-like shape. Continue to cinch and fold until wrapped like a burrito. Repeat process with remaining wrappers and ingredients. Serve spring rolls with tangerine dipping sauce.

Development Communication Posted by: Catch Platform Category: Economy lifestyle Multipurpose Politics World Communication is the most crucial aspect of both personal and professional life in the modern world. It often is make or break for certain issues which affect our daily lives. Be it personal relationships with friends and family or professional relationships with colleagues and official partners, proper communication is the bridge that determines whether we are taking the route to success or failure. As it is the age of specialization, even Communication itself has taken many forms. One such form is Development Communication. It is basically the form of Communication which is utilized to instigate social development. It is the most crucial aspect of effectively disseminating the intended message and reaching the target audience. Target audiences can differ as they can be one particular community or an entire country. Each target audience is unique in the sense that they respond to different messages and the medium the message is conveyed through differently. For example, the intended communications material might be intended for a community located in a remote village, thus the materials will have to be designed according to the means available in the targeted location in order to reach maximum efficiency. The target audience may not have access to social media due to a lack of internet connection, so the envisioned Communications campaign must adopt a more conventional medium which maximizes outreach, like community radio. Bangladesh being a developing country, has a plethora of Non-Profit Organizations, both local and international, operating in order to bring about social development and parity. This means a glut of opportunities to explore the field of Development Communication. There are massive campaigns being implemented every year in order to bring about social development in the country which is widely considered to be under-developed. There are striking development issues in the country which the entire population has to tackle on a daily basis. Child-marriage, malnutrition, lack of proper education, lackluster health system, sexual and reproductive health and rights, and glaringly insufficient women rights are the outstanding issues amongst hundreds more which plague the country's communities. Many of these issues are considered to be taboo in our traditional rural societies, thus they need to be dealt with the utmost sensitivity and care. Communications material have to follow suit as well, with the materials needing to be culturally sensitive, yet highly effective in order to be potent but also not offend anyone's sentiments. Development Communication in Bangladesh does not experience the same sense of liberty that it might enjoy in more developed countries which are more open to dialogues regarding sensitive topics. Thus, the field has to explore new ideas and mediums while walking on a thin line as it strives to maximize its reach and output while also ensuring that no sentiments are offended. Over the years, Bangladesh has experienced a massive influx of technological advancement which has witnessed the rise of now daily life amenities such as smart phones and social media. These two technological advancements in particular have been game changers for Development Communication's advancement and the way it is perceived now. Smartphones at a cheap rate coupled with the ever expanding network coverage of telecommunication companies have ensured that the majority of the country's population, from upper-class to lower-income class have access to social media and the abundance of information available along with it. Social media, in recent times, has become the go-to platform for people of all ages and backgrounds to get their daily dose of information. This change in technology has meant, like every other field, Development Communication has had to adapt to the new challenges and demands. Historically, the most conventional ways of Development Communication aimed to instigate social development, specifically in rural areas have been street theatres, community radio shows and door-to-door campaigns. The technological advancements though, have meant a reliance on social media and other modern technologies to fulfill the aims of Development Communication. Development Communication despite having to tread lightly due to the over sensitive nature of Rural Bangladesh, has also become a major platform for the underprivileged. Along with the technological advancements, Development Communication has created its own effective module such as Facebook and YouTube contents which ensure wide outreach. Thus the underprivileged communities are being able to share their concerns and issues much more widely than it was possible before through more conventional methods. The ever changing scenario in the field of Development Communication means the demands of the job sector is ever-changing as well. The contemporary Development Communication professional is required to be tech-savvy amongst other outstanding requirements. The emphasis on aspects such as technical writing, strategy planning, campaign implementation, photography and social media savviness means aspiring professionals need to be constantly up to date with the technological advancements and new methods being utilized in the field of Communication around the world. There are certain aspects through which an aspiring Communications professional can get an edge in the job sector. Qualities such as graphic designing are preferred to differ between the outstanding candidates from the merely good candidates. The new technological advancements and demands means certain messages are best suited to go in the form of social media messages which require eye catching graphics to go along with it, thus graphic designing credentials are a huge surplus for any aspiring candidates. Apart from this social media management, which includes daily overlooking and posting on social media accounts such as Facebook, Instagram and YouTube to constantly inform target audiences, beneficiaries and donors about the organization's activities is of utmost essentiality. Apart from these, critical thinking to ensure effective implementation of campaigns is imperative in order to be successful as a Development Communication Professional. Implementing the Communications materials of a certain campaign in today's day and age requires expansive planning and critical strategic thinking as there are plenty of Communication mediums and opportunities available but the one with the utmost potency has to be identified and utilized efficiently. Development Communication has both, changed itself and changed the fates of communities all around the world. There are many under developed countries in Africa, South America and Asia who undergo vigorous campaigns, planned through annual calendars in order to achieve desired social changes which will bring about a positive change in the community. These potential changes provide the world with the promise of a better future. The entire world now is popularly referred to as the "Global Village" and Communication probably plays the role of the main protagonist in this. Technological advancement has meant mediums such as social media play prominent roles in spreading messages and news regarding almost everything. Development Communication has also taken advantage of this relatively new found trend as even local organizations can disseminate news regarding their development activities throughout the world and raise awareness about the underprivileged and endangered communities. This also helps attract potential donors, which is essential for funding any campaign or project. As time moves forward and ruthlessly changes, so does technology and along with it the demands of Development Communication. It has adapted quite emphatically till now and has massively increased its own potency and output. Communication in the field of Development, like any other field in the modern world, is the most potent weapon available in the arsenal. If utilized smartly and efficiently, it helps to achieve goals like no other.

Home > News > Signature Senior Living open house gets 'seal' of approval Signature Senior Living open house gets 'seal' of approval By Rochelle A. Shenk on December 28, 2016 Signature Senior Living Lititz held an open house on Dec. 15. (Photos by Rochelle Shenk) Signature Senior Living Lititz hosted an open house on Dec. 15. Located at 80 W. Millport Road in Warwick Township, the facility is close to the Heart of Lancaster Regional Medical Center and the Traditions of America 55+ development. Lori Prevost, NHA, executive director of the Lititz facility, said that the location is perfect. "This is a great location for seniors; we're located close to other facilities that we can partner with," she said. Signature Senior Living Lititz is the first of two identical memory and personal care facilities operated by Dallas-based Signature Senior Living to open in the county. It will be home to 80 residents. The other facility, Signature Senior Living Lancaster, is being constructed at 31 Millersville Road on the site of the former Hambright Elementary School. Estimated cost for the Warwick Township facility is nearly $11 million, including land, construction, furnishings, fixtures and equipment. Each unit at Signature Senior Living has a spa area. Colleen Burnes Alles, NHA, Signature Senior Living PA sales specialist, said the Lititz community welcomed its first resident on Nov. 15 and currently is home to 19 residents. "We are happy to be part of the greater Lancaster area providing additional options for the senior population," she said, "We take a personal approach with our residents &tstr; we meet their needs at their level." During the open house, guests were invited to tour the facility and view the various living options for both personal care residents and those in the secure memory care unit. Both areas boast a central courtyard. The larger courtyard for personal care residents can be accessed directly from some living units. There's also a common entrance from the screened-in porch that adjoins the library. The courtyard features a fountain and a walkway around it. The roof extends over the walkway so that even on rainy days, people can walk around the courtyard and be relatively dry. Personal care units feature a kitchenette equipped with microwave and refrigerator, and the sink is wheelchair accessible. Three meals a day are served in a dining room with private dining area. A bistro offers coffee and snacks available round the clock. Laundry and housekeeping services are available. For those who prefer doing their own laundry, there are two laundry areas. The library in the Signature Senior Living personal care area. The memory support area has its own activity areas, living room, dining room and bistro. Window seats along the courtyard allow residents to enjoy the view of the outdoors, while a door with sensors allows access to the courtyard. A tour guide explained that the intent is to allow residents to have access to the courtyard, but to also monitor the courtyard so that no one is out for extended periods in cold or inclement weather. Living quarters are arranged in pods to promote a sense of community, and there's a shadowbox outside each unit, which allows residents and/or their families to provide a personal touch. A movie theater offers comfy seating and has a popcorn maker. Wheelchairs can also be accommodated. Signature Senior Living Lititz also boasts a hair salon and spa. There's a chapel onsite. There's even a fitness and rehab area. Fox Rehabilitation partners with Signature Senior Living Lititz to provide physical therapy and occupational therapy rehab services for the community. The tour of the facility was comprehensive, but perhaps, the hit of the open house were the PARO robotic harp seals. Jordan Hall, assistant director of the Lancaster facility, and Victoria Warfel RN, wellness director of the Lititz facility, explained the seals to interested guests. Warfel said that the seals are used in the memory support area. Seymour is the Lititz facility's seal, while the Lancaster facility's seal is named Lucy. Each robotic seal can recognize its name and residents' voices as well as tone of voice. It and responds to being petted, cuddled and talked to and reproduces the sounds that a real harp seal makes in various situations. "Harp seals were chosen because people don't have expectations of a harp seal. If it were a cat or dog, people expect them to act in a certain way, and some people are allergic to cats and dogs or may be fearful of dogs. The harp seal can be whatever people want it to be, and it's proven to reduce stress in patients," Warfel explained, adding that there are about 100 of the robotic seals in the US. Jordan Hall (left) and Victoria Warfel hold one of the therapeutic robotic harp seals. Burnes Alles said that the official opening of Signature Senior Living Lancaster Personal and Memory Care Community is just weeks away. She added that Signature Senior Living is currently looking at additional locations throughout state to build additional personal and memory care communities.

Черкан — давящий самолов для ловли пушных зверей. До второй половины XX века широко распространенный тип самоловов в Сибири и на востоке Европейской части России. Черкан в основном применялся для промысла горностая. Н. Д. Зверев и И. М. Залесский описывали применение черканов при промысле колонка, Г. Е. Рахманин отмечал использование черканов для добычи белки, соболя и даже корсака и лисицы. Устанавливают черканы на тропах зверьков, лазах, у нор. Принцип действия всех вариантов черканов одинаков: в деревянной рамке по направляющим прорезям сверху вниз перемещается давящий Т-образный стержень. Его перемещение осуществляется под действием натянутого лука или (в современном варианте) витой стальной пружины. Сторожок с насторожкой соединены веревочной тягой. Лук делают из бересклета, жимолости, лиственницы. В современном варианте лук иногда делают из одного или нескольких связанных вместе стальных прутков. В настоящее время черкан практически повсеместно вытеснен капканами. Преимущества черканов: устанавливается выше капканов и его реже заметает снегом; он хорошо заметен и реже теряется; давит зверька насмерть; его можно изготовить самостоятельно из подручного материала. К недостаткам этой ловушки можно отнести неудобства при транспортировке и менее разнообразные, по сравнению с капканом, способы установки. Примечания Приспособления для охоты

One of the highlights of our fundraising, is our Strictly Tea Dancing afternoon, which was held on Sunday 27th November 2016 at The Langham Hotel, London. We must give the biggest thanks to The Langham for all their help and effort, everyone who took part not only on stage and dance floor but those who contributed to the Auction, and also we must not forget yourselves for being there. The £20 note draw was won by C. W. Downes. Well, what can we say about it – it was such a fantastic occasion. From the off we had Gary Williams and his Band playing as we all walked into the Ballroom. Then we had champagne afternoon tea while Gary treated us to some fantastic songs from his wide ranging repertoire. Gary always adds a real 'swing' to the afternoon. Robert (Judge) Rinder and his Strictly dance partner Oksana Platero glided across the floor giving a splendid performance and showed why they are still in the Strictly Come Dancing competiton. We must thank them for taking the time out of their hectic schedule to support the Foundation. Big thanks also to Brian Conley for his introductions and for hosting the afternoon with great humour, Brian also sang a duet with Gary Williams which went down a storm. And of course to Christopher Biggins for doing the Auction. Then the Sing Out Sisters finished the afternoon off with a great rousing set. We were thrilled this year to have as cabaret, the principal stars of the highly successful musical 'Mamma Mia' Mazz Murray, Linzi Hateley and Jo Napthine. They appeared in their iconic costumes and treated us to a wonderful array of ABBA songs from the finale of the show, bringing enthusiastic guests to their feet to dance. And at the end had the guests chanting for 'more'. We are so grateful to the creator of the musical, Judy Craymer, for her generosity in allowing this to take place.
