What You Need to Know When it Comes to Motorcycle Helmets The main purpose motorcycle helmets is to protect the head from injuries or trauma that it can obtain in case an accident happens. In earlier times, a lot of people do not like to use helmets due to the fact that they were not really that good looking and stylish. Nonetheless, the advancements made with technology, as well as the latest sleek designs caused more people to wear helmets these days. Moreover, motorcycles are also not complete if not coupled with helmets. There are different shapes and styles when it pertains to motorcycle helmets and they are full lace, bell, scorpion and flip-up. A flip-up type helmet was made so that riders can properly communicate with others without the need to raise his or her entire helmet. By pushing a certain button, the thin plastic shield that it contains will raise and the face will be shown as a result. There are a lot of riders who consider this particular kind of helmet as very useful, especially when they are greeting each other as a sort of tradition that they follow. Another type of helmet is the full-lace which is commonly made of aluminum even though there are other materials that are also used to construct it. Since the design of this type of helmet comes with modern bells and whistles, it also more expensive than the others. The design of this particular helmet is an oval shape which can make the face fir perfectly. You can even wear this kind of helmet for a long period of time without being annoyed or feeling uncomfortable because it has a brow and face ventilation. Moreover, the face shield it has can also protect the rider from UV rays and can help in having a better vision for driving. It cannot be denied that most riders are having fogging problems that occurs when they breath while they are driving. Thus, if you want to prevent fogging in your helmet, you must use the full-face type because it contains removable breath guards.


The University of Notre Dame Marching Band — the Band of the Fighting Irish — came to Arizona for the Fiesta Bowl. Their practice space had a familiar name. The band rehearsed on Bemis Field at Notre Dame Preparatory in Scottsdale Dec. 31.
Here are some highlights. To hear a tribute to America’s military, jump to the 1:55 mark.
The band also played at the Phoenix Zoo. Here are highlights of its journey.


China is a large nation in the world with one fifth of the world's population. Who is the father of this large country? It is Huangdi that laid the foundation of Chinese civilization and from whom everyone can find the merits of Chinese people living since ancient times. Under his leadership, prehistoric Chinese tribal life was transformed and presented a new civilized image to the world.
His family lived on Xuanyuan Hill in Xinzheng County, Henan Province, Huang's family name is Youxiong and his first name is Xuanyuan. Because he had a special attachment to the yellow earth, he was called Huangdi by the people ('Huang' in Chinese means yellow symbolizing the yellow earth and 'Di', emperor).
It is recorded that, in the Prehistoric Times, there lived many clans and tribes around the Yellow River and the Yangtze River and Huangdi was the most renowned tribal leader at that time. When the tribe lead by Yandi (Huangdi's close relative) began to decline, Huangdi's tribe was flourishing. During this period, Chiyou often lead his stronger tribe to invade other tribes, and invaded Yandi's tribe. With the help of Huangdi, Chiyou was defeated. Afterward war between Huangdi and Yandi began and when the war ended Huangdi had become the leader of many tribes.
Many outstanding achievements were made during the reign of Huangdi in architecture, science and culture. Palaces and boats were devised, and arithmetic and medicine also began to appear. He instructed his people to plant corn, and invented tools for guiding the direction of travel. With the help of his wife, people began to feed silkworms and spin thread into silk. In addition, characters and musical instruments were invented by his officials. All in all, many creations came from the Huangdi period.
Huangdi was buried on the Mt. Qiao (Bridge) in Huangling County, Shaanxi Province, and nowadays Huangdi Mausoleum known as 'The First Mausoleum in China' has been visited by numerous people home and abroad especially on the day of Qingming Festival (April 4th or 5th).
As Huangdi was the first leader with the great moral and superior wisdom that developed early Chinese civilization, the people regard him as the forefather of the Chinese nation and call themselves the offspring of Huangdi.
did he invent kung kung fu? was he the real person who invented kung fu?
Surya, you should understand that there are many kinds of Kung Fu or Martial Arts. It's difficult to figure out who invented Chinese Kung Fu. However, according to the material I read, it was Fu Xi who invented Kung Fu. He was a leader of a tribe but regarded as a God later. He lived in much earlier time than Huang Di.
It was not fuxi that invented kung fu. Huangdi was the one who created kung fu. He created it because he thought it would would be great for the body. Also becuse he was a great philosopher on medicine.
May i know who is chiyou? Because it was not explained there.
Fiona, Chi You is a leader of another clan. He lived in the same period with Huang Di. It is said that he is as powerful as Huang Di. His clan members are also strong. Huang Di and Chi You had a battle in Zhuolu located in Zhangjiakou City. At last, Huang Di united Yan Di and defeated Chi You.

"You can't imagine rooting for peace for so long and then see it being taken away."
Refusing to let a chance to achieve lasting peace on the Korean Peninsula slip away and warning against "return to a rhetoric of nuclear annihilation," a group of peace activists, foreign policy experts, and ordinary Koreans gathered outside the U.S. Embassy in Seoul on Friday to call on President Donald Trump to reverse his cancellation of the June summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un and immediately return to the negotiating table.
"I do worry that Mr. Trump has made things more dangerous for us in Korea and I just hope that no-one pushes the button."
"The people of both North and South Korea, and especially women, have worked too long and have come too close to reaching the first steps towards the signing of a Peace treaty to see the talks collapse," Christine Ahn, Korea expert and founder of Women Cross DMZ, said in a statement on Thursday. "We know that a diplomacy can be difficult. However, peace in the Korean Peninsula cannot have any more setbacks. It's been too long. It has been overdue more than 70 years."
Trump's announcement that the scheduled summit will not take place was met with dismay by both North and South Koreans.
"You can't imagine rooting for peace for so long and then see it being taken away," a woman who fled North Korea in 2006 said in an interview with the BBC on Friday.
Another North Korean, whose name was not revealed to protect her identity, told the BBC "we can't give up on the idea of peace in Korea yet."
"I do worry that Mr. Trump has made things more dangerous for us in Korea and I just hope that no-one pushes the button," she added.
Responding to Trump's abrupt decision cancel to the planned meeting with Kim on Thursday—which many experts blamed on the White House national security adviser and top warmonger John Bolton—North Korean officials signaled once again a willingness to negotiate with the U.S. and said their "commitment to doing our best for the sake of peace and stability for the world and the Korean Peninsula remains unchanged."
In an appearance on Democracy Now! on Friday, Ahn of Women Cross DMZ said "80 million hearts are broken across the Korean Peninsula" after Trump scrapped the planned summit. As Ahn spoke, Koreans gathered for a candlelight vigil to mourn the faltering peace talks and urge both the U.S. and North Korea to resume diplomatic discussions.
"I say to President Trump and Chairman Kim: be courageous and sit down and work for peace and reunification for Korean families and the Korean peninsula," said peace activist and Nobel Peace Prize laureate Mairead Maguire in a statement on Thursday. "Every day you hesitate, someone dies and will not get a chance to be reunited and to see their families."

Brighton and Hove is one of UK’s most populous beachside city that is filled with eclectic people and sceneries. The town is a merger between Brighton and Hove, but people still tend to consider it two different cities. Regardless, the city comprises of two of the most notable universities of the region namely, the University of Brighton and University of Sussex. These two universities are quite renowned in the area and offer a range of course for you to choose from. Both universities combined attract more than 5000-6000 students from all across the world. Student life is a hit or miss over here. If you are well acquainted with the city, then it will not disappoint. But if you don’t gel into the town, then it might be a problematic task to settle in.
Don’t worry, Brighton and Hove are never shy in offering a plethora of options when it comes down to choosing that perfect place for you to stay. Most of the choices that you might get revolve around student apartments, student villages, student en-suites, student residences, student room share, student dorm room, etc. all of which are either semi-furnished or fully furnished. The amenities and facilities are of plenty, and you can use them as and when you wish. The rent that you might pay is a bit steep as it starts at 95 pounds per week and can go around the region of 300 pounds per week. Well, you might have to decide on the costs as some of the bills might be included along with the rent that you would be paying.
Despite the city being a tad bit short, there are plenty of travel options in the town. Public buses and cabs are one of the many options that you can take to travel in and around the city. The second option what people prefer is to take up walking or cycling to get from point A to point B. all of the accommodation options stated above are located close by to your respective universities or colleges. So, feel free to either walk to them or take up a cycle to get to your particular destination.
If you are in for some wild nightlife and have the time of your life, then you might be disappointed. Well, the city does have bars and pubs to give you an adrenaline rush, but other than this, there are beach side restaurants, cafes and clubs where you can have some peace of mind. Recreational centers of different sorts can be found in and around the city. So, explore the city to scavenge things that could be useful for you in some way or the other — all the best.


Coming from a background in comic art and video game pre-visualization, I am interested in how the use of this pop vocabulary can be appropriated to work in the context of narrative abstraction.
My paintings are part exploration of abstract space and plane, part homage to the disposable ink strokes of the paper era, the weighted lines divorced from its entertainment context, and once expanded onto canvas, ready for new meaning.
Deconstructing the marks, rhythm and language native to comics and graffiti to express movement, sound and rhythm through swooshes, speed lines, sound effects and speech bubbles, I am curious about how we as viewers are predisposed to construe meaning from juxtaposed signs, to pursue visual cues even as familiar symbols are in a state of entropy.


The Chaîne des Puys - Limagne fault tectonic arena, situated in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes Region in the centre of France, is an emblematic segment of the West European Rift, created in the aftermath of the formation of the Alps 35 million years ago. The property comprises 24,223 ha with a 16,307 ha buffer zone configured to provide strategic protection in key areas. The boundaries of the property were drawn up to include geological features and landscapes which characterise the tectono-volcanic assemblage and include the long Limagne fault, the scenic alignment of the Chaîne des Puys volcanoes, and the inverted relief of the Montagne de la Serre. Together these demonstrate how the continental crust cracks, then collapses, allowing deep magma to rise, causing widespread uplift at the surface.
The property is an exceptional illustration of the processes and characteristic features of continental break-up, a fundamental phenomenon in the Earth’s history. It is globally significant in terms of its completeness, density and clarity of topographic expression, providing distinctive evidence of the genetic and chronological links between the rifting features. Densely grouped and clearly interconnected, these features provide focused access to a planetary scale geological phenomenon and its overall understanding.
Criterion (viii): Continental drift, manifested through plate tectonics, is an essential paradigm for the history of the Earth as it explains the current make-up of oceans and continents and their past and future movements. The property is an exceptional illustration of the phenomenon of continental break-up, or rifting, which is one of the five major stages of plate tectonics. The Chaîne des Puys - Limagne fault tectonic arena presents a coincident view of all the representative processes of continental break-up and reveals their intrinsic links. The geological formations of the property, and their specific layout, illustrate with clarity this planet-wide process and its effects on a large and small scale on the landscape. This concentration has a demonstrated global significance in terms of its completeness, density and expression and has contributed to the site’s prominence since the 18th century for the study of classical geological processes.
Due to its size, continental break-up creates rift systems several thousands of kilometres long. The property’s boundary incorporates all the elements necessary for a full presentation of this process. All the most impressive and best preserved examples are included in relatively close proximity.
The property includes the most impressive section of the fault, which forms a marked border between the flattened continental basement and the wide adjoining graben. It also contains a young volcanic field, relatively unaffected by erosion, exhibiting the complete spectrum of typical magmas in rift zones. Lastly, the long lava flow of the Montagne de la Serre, from an earlier phase of volcanism, straddles the basement and the sedimentary basin, which it overlooks. This inverted topography is a characteristic indicator of the wide-spread uplift which affects rift zones.
The landscape setting for the property’s geological attributes has a long history of conservation measures; it is sparsely inhabited, with the main population being concentrated on the adjacent Limagne Plain. The geological features encompassed by the property’s boundary are fundamentally intact: they are preserved from urbanisation; the erosion is very superficial and has not altered the structures; and past quarrying activity has affected only a minor part of the property. Overall, human impact remains limited and does not compromises the geological value of the Chaîne des Puys - Limagne fault tectonic arena concerning the integrity of the property in relation to criterion (viii).
The property has been subject to management and preservation measures for nearly one hundred years, under the impetus of local actors and supported by the State. Critical to protecting the property’s Outstanding Universal Value is preventing any degradation to the geological features and maintaining, even accentuating, their visibility in the landscape. The main potential threats are thus the quarries, urbanisation, encroachment of forest masking the geological features, and erosion of soils linked to human action. All of these threats are managed via a combination of regulatory measures, an integrated management plan, and the availability of dedicated human and financial means.
The property is part of the Auvergne Volcanos Regional Natural Park (IUCN Cat.V protected area) which provides a management framework legally subject to review and renewal every 12 years. The property is subject to strong national legislature which applies to both public and private land and prohibits in particular the opening of any new quarries, mandates State authorization for any changes to the site, and prohibits or strictly limits construction. In addition there are local regulations which reinforce and add greater precision to these environmental, landscape and urban protection measures. Continued efforts should be directed toward engaging with private landholders to raise awareness, ensure compliance with regulations and incentivize good stewardship practice.
Proactive management measures are also applied to the property through a tailored management plan which is focused towards the preservation of the geological features and their clarity of outline, management of visitor numbers, enabling traditional local activities, and interpreting the property’s Outstanding Universal Value to the public.
Care is needed to manage the balance between forest cover and pasture when seeking to optimize the exposure of the property’s geological features. It is important to ensure the property is protected against erosion and visitor impact.

My local Craigslist.org is the first place I go to sell something. It's best for items you think will appeal to everyone (therefore justifying the smaller audience) and large items that can't be shipped. Craigslist.org is great for taking your yard sale items online for local sales. For example, a friend recently bought two fans from people that live close to him. These one-off type items do very well on Craigslist. Just remember to use common sense and be safe out there.


Microsoft pushes out patches for 19 vulnerabilities for Patch Tuesday. The August fixes cover a number of products, including Windows and Office Web Components. The security bulletins also address vulnerabilities in Microsoft's Active Template Library.
Microsoft released nine security bulletins Aug. 11 for Patch Tuesday, swatting a number of critical bugs.
All told, the bulletins address 19 vulnerabilities across Microsoft Windows, Microsoft Office, Visual Studio and other products. Among the vulnerabilities is a bug in Microsoft Office Web Components that has been exploited in the wild. According to Microsoft, the bug-one of four patched today within Web Components-resides in the Spreadsheet ActiveX control. When the ActiveX control is used in Internet Explorer, the control can corrupt the system state and permit an attacker to run arbitrary code.
Information on mitigations and workarounds can be found here.
Five of the nine bulletins are rated "critical," including MS09-037, part of the continued fallout from vulnerabilities affecting the Microsoft ATL (Active Template Library). The bulletin covers five vulnerabilities across both the private version of the library used internally by Microsoft and the public version shared with third-party developers.
"The issue is that developers have been including this flawed code in ActiveX controls for over 10 years," noted David Dewey of IBM 's X-Force research team. "This results in an innumerable amount of vulnerable controls that were developed by third parties and are currently being used in the public. Microsoft has done a great job of providing all the details a developer would need to correct potentially vulnerable controls, but the onus is now on the developer to make the appropriate changes."
The other critical bulletins include patches for vulnerabilities in Windows Media file processing, WINS (the Windows Internet Name Service) and Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection. The remaining four bulletins are all rated "important" and cover issues in Windows. Two of those four cover privilege escalation situations, while the other two affect remote code execution and DoS (denial of service) issues.

On this Wednesday my puppy Summer (12.5 weeks) went to the puppy kindergarten (it was his fourth time), and had two fights with another puppy near the end of the class. There were only three puppies that day -- one is his old buddy, a 3 month old goldendoodle, another one is a new blue heeler puppy (9 weeks old). The first fight was when Summer was holding a toy in his mouth and the new puppy tried to get it. They chased a bit and suddenly they started screaming and fighting! The trainer immediately separated them and gave Summer a time out. After a while they continued playing and chasing each other and the two broke out a fight again. We were so shock!! I never saw Summer like this before. The trainer talked to me seriously, said if this continued Summer will have big problems when he grow up. She asked me about Summer's behavior at home and other places and she was surprised that we only took him out for potty. She said we should not lock a puppy in an apartment even he's not fully vaccinated yet. She suggested to enroll an obedient class ASAP. Also take him out to meet different places like markets, bus and parks etc..
I felt so so bad. Summer is sweet most of the time at home. Sometimes (especially when he is very hyped up) he would bite our hands and attack faces. When I told the trainer about it she said it is a VERY BAD behavior. I think that is normal for a pup especially a shiba? My husband and I are working on it and Summer is slowly improving. We are using the "ouch" and walk away technique. We train and play with him daily to make sure he has plenty of excise. We also let him play a bit on the grass when he is out to potty. We are new to shiba but we are trying our best. Are we doing something wrong? Anyone have similar situations with shiba puppies?
Yes. Actually I found a few scratches on his belly and bottom when we got home.
I'm wondering how familiar the trainers are with Shibas haha, cus Shibas definitely do play rough. The hand biting / nipping sounds all too familiar. :)) Dogs sure aren't immune to receiving scratches during playtime. Was the other dog trying to get away? A pretty clear way to tell when it's fighting and when it's play is to separate the two dogs for a short time, then when you reintroduce them, pay attention to whether they both want to approach each other again or if one of them is trying to avoid the other.
I also used the "ouch" method and would immediately end play when my pup was mouthy. I would kind of have a big reaction, act offended and storm off lol. I learned that he really picked up on my body language.
It's hard to know without seeing, but the trainers don't sound very experienced if they want to kick a dog out of a training class if they aren't already perfectly mannered. That's kind of the point of taking them to classes and socializing with other puppies. I think obedience classes would be fun and a good experience for anyone. Maybe the trainers of the obedience class have more experience and better management than the trainers of this puppy class. I do agree that you should be out socializing the pup even before all the vaccines. We carried our pup everywhere when he was very young and went to every dog friendly place we could find to get him used to seeing the sights and hearing the sounds while being nice and safe and not overwhelmed.
Update: we officially got kicked out today :( The trainers said he is "fearful aggressive"in the class (excuse me? On the first day class she said he was "very confidant" and now is fearful?) and puppy kindergarten is simply too much for him. They suggested we keep carrying him around different places and only have one to one play date.
I'm wondering how familiar the trainers are with Shibas haha, cus Shibas definitely do play rough. The hand biting / nipping sounds all too familiar.
I definitely doubt about their experience of handling a shiba inu. They seemed to know this breed is independent and strong will, but that is all about it.
Thank you for your reply! That's really helpful. I will definitely carry him around different places more often.
Here are some clips when he was the kindergarten. I didn't record when the fights happened so these clips are just normal playing.
Okay, been watching this thread. Those vids are adorable. Actually, I think the class may be a little too strict on what they consider "appropriate", especially after watching the last vid. The pups were playing well with each other and were relaxed--there was no reason to break them up at all at that time.
Japanese in general are very very polite so maybe they want their pets to be "polite" too haha.
@caroline you are welcome ^_^ Considering that I see the same attitude in the US as well, I think it is just a human thing. We have very unrealistic expectations of dogs because of years of bad research, and it will take time to overcome that.

I am also half way through my (Forty, Fit & Fabulous) e-book and now considering getting it published. I am taking time on this, as I want to research everything before writing the contents and to give you guys the best information and knowledge I can supply.
For now hurrying up with the work load as my body is screaming for some vitamin D, knowing our luck as brits it proberly will snow tomorrow lol!

Among the many biological effects caused by low intensity extremely high frequency electromagnetic fields (EHF-EMF) reported in the literature, those on the nervous system are a promising area for further research. The mechanisms by which these fields alter neural activity are still unclear and thus far there appears to be no frequency dependence regarding neuronal responses. Therefore, proper in vitro models for preliminary screening studies of the interaction between neural cells with EMF are needed. We designed an artificial axon model consisting of a series of parallel RC networks. Each RC network contained an aqueous solution of lipid vesicles with a gradient of potassium (K+) concentration as the functional element. We investigated the effects of EHF-EMF (53.37 GHz–39 mW) on the propagation of the electric impulse. We report that exposure to the EHF-EMF increases the amplitude of electrical signal by inducing a potassium efflux from lipid vesicles. Further, exposure to the EHF-EMF potentiates the action of valinomycin – a K+ carrier – increasing the extent of K+ transport across the lipid membrane. We conclude that exposure to the EHF-EMF facilitates the electrical signal propagation by increasing transmembrane potassium efflux, and that the model presented is promising for future screening studies of different EMF frequency spectrum bands.
it has been found that the lateral pressure dynamics of the membrane is significantly influenced by EHF-EMF28, and that this membrane property is highly sensitive to even small changes in membrane composition. Further, direct effects of EHF-EMF on the voltage-sensitive channels in the neuronal plasma membrane7 and an increase in permeability due to rearrangement of membrane phospholipids structure have been indicated29.we conclude that EHF-EMF is very effective in altering the membrane structure (increasing K+ permeability), although a description of its action at the molecular or supramolecular levels remains elusive. In particular, potentially synergistic effects related to membrane organization and pore-forming peptide/proteins should be carefully looked into in the future.
Although sample heating is the most widely accepted mechanism of high frequency EMF interaction in biological systems, in our case we can safely hypothesize that the observed effects were mediated through non-thermal mechanisms (Figs 5 and 6). Recently, similar mechanisms were proposed as an explanation of the effects of low intensity EHF-EMF on nervous tissue involving a direct interaction with the neuronal plasma membrane7. Further non-thermal mechanisms were also suggested to explain the transient response of high frequency EMF on the electrical activity of the sural nerve in vivo, which appears to be specific to the field because the radiant heating did not reproduce this effect34. Thus our results suggest subtle specific effects, which do not depend on the thermal energy imparted by the EHF-EMF on the axon model.


ALL-HANDS-ON-DECK

BY KELLI GUSTAFSON

Neu·ron /ˈn(y)o͝orän/ Noun : a basic nerve cell that builds the nervous system and transmits information throughout the body.

Just like a neuron sending and receiving information throughout our body while calculating a response, the Event Command Centre is the cell that keeps Rogers Place pulsating. At only 120 square feet, this small space overlooks the bowl, with the ability to see every nook and cranny of the building - thanks in large part to closed-circuit television (CCTV).

Next time you're attending a game or concert at the newest hub for entertainment in downtown Edmonton, you may just spot the small glow on the Media Level that's emitting from the dozens of video screens illuminating this small, yet powerful room.

Behind these screens sits a team vital to the successful operation of every event that takes place underneath the roof at the arena. Home to the Event Commander - a role often assumed by Rogers Place Director of Security Kevin Kobi and Assistant General Manager, Guest Experience and Events, Steinunn Parsons - the Event Command Centre operates based on the Incident Command System (ICS).

"ICS was developed in the 1970s following a series of wildfires in California," explained Kobi.

Recognizing that a deficiency in communication led to the downfall of deploying accessible resources efficiently and effectively, ICS was developed as a response.

"ICS is a platform used primarily by emergency services, but it is also being used for things like the Olympics or other major events," said Kobi.

Facilitating on-site management, allowing information to 'flow-up' through the Event Command Centre, ICS provides large teams with the opportunity to organize an effective response for any given situation.

"Anytime there is a request in-venue, it comes up to Event Command and we dispatch it out. It allows us to be aware of an issue and allows us to determine the priority," said Kobi. "It's been tried and tested, it's been fine-tuned and it works. We've had a number of events where we were in a far better position to respond and deal with those events, rather than various departments acting in isolation."

"It is the heart of the building," added Parsons. "We have a big picture view of what's happening in every part of the building, so when we make decisions about incidents, we understand the full picture."

Although ICS is not as common among many venues, Kobi and Parsons were confident that bringing ICS to Rogers Place would allow for a smoother and safer operation of the venue.

And they were right.

THE FLIP

Between Oilers games and Oil Kings games alone, there is a live event taking place at Rogers Place nearly every-other night of the week. With concerts on top of what can already be described as a tight schedule, Rogers Place has seen more than one million fans pass through its doors after opening a mere six months ago.

From ingress and egress, traffic, parking, fire code and safety regulations, to replacing a burnt-out lightbulb or fixing a broken chair, there are a lot of issues - both big and small - that must be monitored in and around the building on any given day. Furthermore, for each event that takes place at the new home of the orange and blue faithful, extensive planning and preparation must be conducted.

Parsons described the months of planning that went into the coordination of the nine Garth Brooks shows that were held at Rogers Place, over the course of only six days, as being all-encompassing.

"There was a lot of planning, lots of spreadsheets, lots of meetings and assigning responsibility, but also an 'all-hands-on-deck' approach," she said.

Although NHL and WHL game days are conducted in a similar fashion as any other live event held at Rogers Place, some key differences go into organizing a concert. The first big difference being the ice - or lack thereof.

"The first thing we do is cover the ice," said Rogers Place Operations and Maintenance Manager, Kyle Lamkey.

Using fiberglass boards to insulate and ensure the NHL quality-ice is maintained, with refrigeration from below, the ice surface is completely covered in just under 75 minutes.

With more than 16 years of experience in the Live Entertainment industry guiding her, Papirny stresses the importance of planning and utilizing time wisely.

In the case of Garth Brooks, the tour was expected to arrive a few short hours after the Oilers-Flyers game was wrapping up on the night of Thursday, February 16.

"There are lots of moving parts. There's the conversions crew, the housekeeping crew, and the food and beverage team," said Papirny. "Typically we allot six hours to convert from the ice to concert mode."

We basically did what we normally do in six hours, in under four hours.

Andrea Carroll Papirny

Once Lamkey and his conversions crew finished installing the in-fill flooring, they turned their attention to removing the glass and dasher boards, which generally takes an additional hour-and-a-half.

"Typically, all of our conversions [from ice to concert mode] are about the same, but timelines change," said Lamkey. "This one was a little more challenging because [the tour] was going to roll their trucks up at 2:00 AM, and once the first truck arrives the pressure's on to give them the floor."

With the Oilers game ending around 10:30 PM that night, many of the Rogers Place crew were just beginning their shifts.

"There are many variables that come with NHL games, like overtime. If there's overtime, how does that delay things?" Lamkey asked.

The answer is to over-prepare.

"It's just planning," explained Lamkey. "You stage everything that needs to go out on the floor in the marshaling area and you try to keep it organized."

At approximately 2:30 AM on Friday, February 17, you would have found Papirny standing at the East Loading Dock inside Rogers Place, beaming with pride.

"We basically did what we normally do in six hours, in under four hours!" she grinned as she recalled those early hours on Friday morning. "By the time they were staging trucks (preparing trucks to unload), the concert floor was done, all the glass was removed and retractable seating was put away."

Next up is 'chalking'.

"Then they'll do an analysis of the building, check where the stage is going, get all their measurements and then they'll begin to chalk," said Papirny.

Chalking is the process where the Head Rigger from the tour begins to mark on the venue floor exactly where everything will be set up once it rolls off of the trucks.

With a total of 21 trucks rolling in for Garth's tour, some extra help is required on-location. This is where the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees, or IATSE, come in.

"IATSE are our local support for stage hands," explained Papirny. "They help with unloading trucks, rigging, setting up, etc."

As most of the city was asleep, nearly 100 IATSE members and tour crew at Rogers Place worked throughout the night to prepare for what would soon become a historic - and banner-worthy - moment for the city of Edmonton.

GARTHMANIA

With nine sold-out shows at Rogers Place, Garth Brooks completely shattered his Edmonton ticket sales record (previously set in 1996).

"I'd love to tell you that this is typical, but this is unbelievable!" said the country music superstar.

His return to Edmonton after 21 years was unmistakably well-received.

The excitement was not limited to the fans attending his shows, but the entire city seemingly transformed during what had been fondly dubbed by many as 'Garthmania'.

From local TV news anchors singing renditions of "Friends in Low Places" to Edmonton Mayor Don Iveson declaring Friday, February 17, 2017 as "Garth Brooks Day," - while sporting a black cowboy hat befitting of the occasion - the entire city seemed to be celebrating Brooks' return.

"The excitement from all our frontline staff has just been unreal," said Lamkey.

"This is really a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for us all," added Papirny. "We are so lucky as a team that we were able to have this experience and have him, after 21 years, come back to Edmonton."

But this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity also met Rogers Place with some new challenges that put the venue to the test.

Although every event at Rogers Place can offer new situations or issues that arise, the biggest challenge during Garth Brooks was the turnover of the building in an extremely short timeframe during his double-show days.

"This is where coordination through Event Command was critical to our success," said Kobi.

The tour told us that we were the fastest flip in any market they'd seen.

Steinunn Parsons

The building not only had to plan and prepare to transition approximately 18,000 people out of the building, while bringing another 18,000 in, but they also needed to restock, clean and reset - all within 30 minutes.

"It was a really strong coordinated effort on behalf of the venue team," said Parsons. "Everyone had a responsibility, but everyone also helped each other out."

With eyes up in Event Command, it was all-hands-on-deck below.

"We had our General Manager helping to vacuum suites, we had our Director of Ticketing helping pick up garbage - it was true teamwork," smiled Parsons.

She added, "The first day [Saturday] we turned-over the building in just under 45 minutes and the second day [Sunday] was about 30 minutes. So we shaved a good 15 minutes off of our time. The tour told us that we were the fastest flip in any market they'd seen. Considering we've only been open for six months, that's a huge kudos to our team."

The venue surpassed this record on the following Saturday, with a turnover in just 25 minutes.

Papirny commented, "Not only did we continually meet the tour's expectations, but we exceeded them."

But while the team inside the building worked to restock and reset, another team was hard at work outside, coordinating egress and staging fans for ingress.

In order to open gates for the new fans arriving at the second show, the team had to be sure all the fans from the first show had exited the building. Furthermore, the venue partnered with Edmonton Police Services (EPS) to assist in coordinating the crowd, ensuring a smooth and organized transition took place.

"I planned for, at any given time, 30,000 people to be in and around our building during that transition period," said Kobi.

That's nearly the same amount of passengers that 82 Boeing 747s can carry.

"Based on the volume of people that we would have around Rogers Place, we knew we'd have to close 104 Ave," added Kobi.

This is where the collaborative effort between the venue and EPS played an important role in the transition.

With a Police Commander operating from the Event Command Centre inside Rogers Place, the team was able to orchestrate crowd flow, utilizing 104 Ave as pedestrian laneways, while safely staging lines of fans to prepare for ingress.

"I met with EPS in the weeks leading up to the Garth Brooks shows and we developed a plan," explained Kobi. "It's critical that we work collaboratively to execute that plan. They can't execute that plan in isolation, nor can we."

While those up in Event Command are the eyes and the ears of the building - using CCTV to watch and radio to communicate - it is those who are on the ground that carry out the direction from above.

And on the ground is exactly where you will find Lamkey and Papriny's team.

If any issues or repairs around the building are reported up to Event Command, Lamkey will be notified and his team will deploy.

"In between shows we do a lot of chair repairs, so my team will deploy to fix those," he said. "We also do a reset of the 1,600 chairs on the floor, making sure we haven't infringed on any fire regulations."

With more than 16,000 bags of popcorn sold and 30,000 cans of Molson Canadian sold during the concert run, restocking was also something to be considered.

"They had overnight crews dealing with restocking because we had to keep up with the high demand, so all of our teams have to work together," said Papriny.

"Until you actually see it in motion, it's just a plan on a piece of paper," she added. "But it's everyone that we work with that puts that plan and that piece of paper to action - and we nailed it!"

Despite the stress of a tight schedule, it was still all smiles from the Rogers Place team.

"Everyone was happy," said Parsons. "Everyone was excited, and that's what made this successful!"

"I mean, he's Garth Brooks!" beamed Lamkey.

THAT'S A WRAP

From running around checking signage, to responding to the needs of guests and the tour, Papriny found herself taking a moment to soak it all in.

"I remember we were standing in the middle of the show for the start - partly because we want to make sure all the proper lights are off - and we're standing there and it's just this unreal feeling," she recalled. "With this many people, this much energy, this much craziness going on, it was just unreal."

For the Rogers Place team to see their months of planning and preparation finally come to fruition, they felt that their hard work had now paid off.

"The one thing that's incredible about this show is there's no pyro. It's just a performer singing his songs," added Papriny. "And there's not a lot of people out there that can do it the way Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood do what they do."

But before the tour came to a close, Rogers Place left the country music superstar with an unforgettable send-off.

During the show on Friday, February 24, Trisha interrupted her own set to invite Oilers Entertainment Group (OEG) CEO and Vice Chair Bob Nicholson, and Rogers Place General Manager Susan Darrington, up onto the stage.

Thanking both Garth and Trisha for the incredible energy they brought to Rogers Place, Nicholson and Darrington revealed the newest banner to decorate the Rogers Place rafters - commemorating the nine sold-out concerts.

"That's awesome!" Garth said, overcome by emotion.

In a special video message from Wayne Gretzky, the Great One himself congratulated Garth and Trisha on their achievement.

The crowd erupted in an electrifying cheer as he added, "As you can tell, we have the greatest fans in Edmonton, and in Alberta!"

Even without the banner as a permanent reminder, fans and those involved in the success of the nine Garth Brooks shows at Rogers Place will not soon be forgetting the excitement created by 'Garthmania'.

"The relationship of Garth Brooks to Rogers Place will go down in history," said Papirny.

Whether you were a fan amongst the crowd at one of the Garth Brooks shows, or a fan anticipating an upcoming Oilers game, Rogers Place offers an unforgettable experience in more ways than one.

"I think everyone has something they can look forward to," said Lamkey. "To see this building come alive, it's amazing."

As the tour wrapped and the last of the tour trucks drove off, Event Command finally fell silent.

However, not all was quiet, as a new Rogers Place crew was just beginning their shift - uncovering the ice, preparing for the next big event.


Ohhh boy...let me see. I swear a lot. I drink too much. I've smoked since I was 14. Sometimes my vision plays tricks on me. I like to think I don't need help. I like to pretend I know what I'm doing. My back hurts every morning. and for some reason I believe people who say they like what I write.

We believe that too many men die of prostate, bowel and testicular cancer because they do not know how to detect the symptoms in the early stages, when treatment would be more effective.
This ignorance is made worse by the prevailing ‘culture of embarrassment’, that discourages men from discussing and resolving problems related to intimate parts of their body.
Host awareness raising sessions at male oriented events, places of work and leisure, schools/colleges/universities and other public places.
Raise the profile of our Charity in general via PR and marketing activities, using our characters. In addition, we may choose to support other Charities related to male cancers for specific campaigns..
We don’t do research as we believe that education is the key in the fight against male cancer.
We come to you. We are out travelling the country raising awareness, because we believe that people are more likely to remember a message that they hear ‘live’, than one they read in a leaflet.
We are truly nationwide, we are active across the whole country not just in major cities.
We raise awareness all year round as we believe this needs to be ongoing rather than confined to short campaigns.
To help build a culture where embarrassment does not prevent men from addressing problems with intimate parts of their bodies.
No young men between the ages of 16-35 die of testicular cancer in the UK.
Education on the early warning signs of male cancer becomes part of the national school curriculum.
This is who we are and look forward to your support to ensure our core values are realised.


[Research progress on living quality of children conceived by assisted reproductive technology].
With the development of assisted reproductive technique (ART), children born following ART now form a sizeable subgroup of the population, so assessment for the safety of ART becomes more urgent than ever before. The health problems about living quality of children conceived by ART mainly focus on perinatal outcome and short-term follow-up study, including multiple pregnancies, low birth weight and prematurity in singleton births, congenital malformations, imprinting disorders, neurodevelopmental outcome, neonatal outcomes, physical and mental health, as well as cancer risks. In this review, we will discuss the health problems of these children, to provide data for further study.

LotusTalk - The Lotus Cars Community > Community > Garage Majal > My first house! Garage project time! Garage floor question.
Ok, just bought my first house (which pushed me buying an elise back by 5 or 6 months or so ). I did end up with a 3 car garage which is something I looked for and couldn't deal without in buying my first house. Our house used to be the model house for the neighborhood which actually I have found has some great benefits. The garage is routed with a/c and heat ducts (which are currently blocked off, but if I ever wanted to use them I just need to unblock the ducts, sweet a garage with a/c! ). They added quite a few lights over the 2 car portion of the garage and I also have a hookup for an outdoor garage sink (which you can see in the picture) which is nice so you can clean up before going in the house. On to my question, the 2 car portion of the garage floor is painted from it being the "office" when it was the model home. I would like to have the floor done with epoxy and the speckles like alot of people do on here. What all will have to be done with that side of the garage to prep it for the new coat? Will the paint have to be stripped/removed? Here is a picture of my garage while they were doing the termite inspection.
What all will have to be done with that side of the garage to prep it for the new coat? Will the paint have to be stripped/removed?
Basically yes, they'll have to grind it off as the epoxy bonds to the concrete to make it so strong. I just had mine done - when I bought my house 3 years ago I didn't have the funds to have a pro job done so I bought one of the kits at Home Depot. While it worked ok (lasted for about 2 years before it started peeling) it just wasn't what I wanted for my new space. So I had a company do the high end stuff and the first thing they did was bring in a huge grinder and get all the old epoxy off (normally they charge $1/sqft for that but I was a referral from another LT member so they did that for free for me).
You'll love it - almost the best thing I did in my garage. Transforms it from a garage to another room in the house if you ask me.
Here's the thread I just posted with some details/pictures on what I did.
If you don't mind me asking, how much did it cost to have the floor done? I thought about doing the home depot kit but have recently decided against it, because I do want it to last.
Fully concur with Ross. Cost us about $2200 as I remember for 400 square feet, and did it up the concrete "baseboards" as well. You could drag an anvil over it with little or no damage.
Mine is very light so if I drive in with wet tires it leaves tracks that "harden" when they dry and are sort of hard to remove.
wow...since mine is 675 sq ft, the cost would be quite a bit more than doing race deck tiles that I had quoted for around $2,000. I do like the look of the coating better though. I guess its just time for decisions.
Very nice. You are lucky... I didn't have much time to remodel before moving in and now I got too much junk in the garage to do the floors. I was told I had to take everything out for 2 days... where am I going to leave all my motorcycles and cars outside for 2 days? They won't be there when it's done!
I went with RaceDeck and love it.
The look you get is more dramatic than epoxy.
Also portable if you move or decide to change.
RaceDeck will give you 10% off and free shipping if you tell them you are a garageforum.com member.
I got a quote from them for around $2,200 if I remember correctly. I guess that would end up being cheaper than doing a professional floor. I'd love to have real tile in the garage. It'd be tough to decide on a design for the race deck. I was on their site for a while trying to think of designs.
Nice garage. How about the details of your tire lift?
2007 Exige-All Black and Mean , Factory TouringPak/TrackPak/StarShield/LSD/TractionControl/iPodDock. All stock but not for long.
2006 Mitsubishi EVO IX MR-Only all-stock one left in the country!!
2010 BMW K1300S-Faster than a Hayabusa!
How does it hold up if you spill coolant/oil or something? Does it seep through to the floor? Does it hold up to jacking up a car and putting it on jack stands?
I am shocked---- spills come up easy--- the four post lift is actually sitting on top of the tiles.
Brake fluid does not affect at all--- I have had some nasty spills!!
Amazon had for $99 at one point!
Costco puts on sale every so often as well.
My Race deck flooring is from 2000. It does not have a sheen like yours, I wish it did. If I had it to do again, I would not have put yellow where I drive over it all the time. I can't keep it clean.
Inspired... once again. Need lift... and cover my raw concrete garage floor.
As an owner of a heating and AC company I highly recommend against unblocking those ducts. We get people asking us to duct their garage and here in Oregon it is illegal because your ducting can pull carbon monoxide back to your home as well as many of the chemical fumes/VOC's from commonly stored items. Sorry to be a debbie downer bit leave those vents blocked off if you ever plan on starting you car in the garage, door open or not.
The grinder can be rented for not too bad of a price.
The epoxy is easy to DIY. I would invest in an 18" roller to do it.
I did the Lowe's DIY epoxy almost 4 years ago in my garage, still looks pretty good. Cost me about $300 for 3 coats of color and 3 of clear. My garage is around 625 sq/ft. Only areas that show wear are melting into it from red hot stuff falling on the floor and an area near my welding bench that got a bunch of snowmelt and the metal dust on the floor rusted and stained the floor. Oh well though, it's a garage.
I'd guess doesn't hold up quite as well as the pro installed stuff, but they wanted about $6000 to do mine. I can redo mine a dozen times and still be ahead. I can deal with $300 every 6-7 years.
How does that racedeck hold up to welding, grinding, torch cutting, etc? Is it fire retardant?
For the HVAC in your garage, yeah, needs to be on a separate system not tied into the houses. Better off installing a window type AC or it's own unit vs killing your family.

Never thought about it like that. Tis true.
Hmm, so it doesn't run between the tiles then?
Yeah, I'm still debating on what colors/design to use. Decisions, decisions.
$4 a sqft isn't too bad. That would add up to around $2700 for my garage then, which is just above how much racedeck quoted me. I guess I'll just have to call around for some quotes.

Since 2.2.6 ssh credentials on git push seems to have a problem.
When i revert back to 2.2.5 everything works as expected.
I'm using jenkins credential with a ssh key.
Don't know if that has something to say, but I'm using env var's to set the git url, and in the failing log it's not resolved. But I guess the error prints it before the resolution, because the connection itself seems to work, just not the authentication.
I attached a log success.txt (with version 2.2.5) and a failing.txt (version 2.2.6). The only difference is that i reverted the plugin to 2.2.5 and everything worked again.
let me know if you need more information. But maybe so find the problem due the recent changes.
As the fetch is working I focused on analyzing the differences between the fetch and the push. As far as I understood the code the GitSCM holds the remote repository without expanded environment variables and expands them right before the fetch (https://github.com/jenkinsci/git-plugin/blob/master/src/main/java/hudson/plugins/git/GitSCM.java#L915). This step is is missing in the GitPublisher where the specified remote repository is retrieved from the gitSCM (https://github.com/jenkinsci/git-plugin/blob/master/src/main/java/hudson/plugins/git/GitPublisher.java#L318). As this issue is urgent for our production I already started to prepare a test and fix for this issue. My naive approach would be simply do the same thing as GitSCM.getParamExpandedRepos() does right where the push command is created and executed. But as you wrote that you hit a wall here I'm a bit unconfident. Could you please share your concerns? I would need some more days to prepare a fix for a pull request but so far my first tests looked promising.

Daniel Figus Your approach sounds promising. I hit a wall when I couldn't construct a set of tests which gave me enough confidence that I'd solved the problem without critically damaging something else.

Blurred and deteriorating vision is a common occurrence with MS. The reason is almost certainly caused when the myelin sheath develops scar tissue after being damaged during an auto-immune-system attack.
The existing conventional treatments that claim to work do no more than halt the deterioration.
Firstly take the enzyme Serrapeptase (Serrazyme). This enzyme dissolves the scar tissue that is blocking the nerve impulses. This in itself will give a remission. Then put the action plan into operation immediately.

Fire! Fire! How we got our lake.
The original plans for our 1960’s campus included a lake, south of the main buildings. Unfortunately, however, the University Grants Committee rejected the proposal on the grounds that no money was available for the provision of such a ‘decorative’ feature.
So we found another way. As the highest university in England, our campus needed a water source in case of fire. So we met with the City of Bath Fire Prevention Officer and applied for a grant to have a pit ‘required for fire-fighting purposes’. It was approved without question.
Our horticulturalists made the pit a water feature and our architects ran water off the roofs and into the lake via ponds.
Thousands of students have enjoyed the lake every day for almost half a century but it has only been used once for fire-fighting. In 1980 the architecture rooms in the south building, shared with biological sciences, went up in flames.


This could almost have been a German entry into the fabulous 'Carry On' series (one of the 'contemporary' outings of course), although I suppose the title is silly enough as it is. When the credits mention the story is based on a 'famous play' by F. Setz und J. Becker called "Die Eintagsehe" you know most of the action will probably be situated around one location. However director Werner Jacobs manages to postpone the inevitable for a long time by concentrating on the many different hustles Willi is pulling all over town.
The first scene immediately sets the tone with a bunch of Germans screaming at each other at a town meeting. The loudest offender is Willi Kuckuck (Heinz Erhardt), who's main goal is to keep the local football club up and running. He will do anything for his team, although fortunately the film does not dwell on their rigged matches for too long. Instead we are treated to the various ways Willi sets about exploiting his own family (we just love to laugh at a-moral con men don't we).
Several of Willi's schemes involve trick photography. He gets the boyfriend of one of his daughters to help him out, which is strange since the lad routinely has to fake his own girlfriend's "wedding picture" with more boring men than himself. This is all part of Willy's grand plan to receive a wedding present in the form of a blank check from his wealthy sister Elvira who lives in Brazil. For a man who thinks of everything it is a bit strange that Willi never contemplated Elvira might decide to visit in person.
Now Herr Kuckuck has to get some more tangible evidence. He rounds up both the real and the fake prospective son in laws, as well as a new born baby for old Elvira's arrival. When sister dear decides to stay the night the movie at long last reveals it's stage bound trappings and does not venture outside again. Even the all important football team is almost completely forgotten at this stage.
