These designers must have been on another plane when they created these funny design fails. People often overlook the talent of designers. What seems to be just a simple creation was actually a result of a designer's optimum effort and research. Of course, designers make things look so easy to build because they have the expertise to accomplish that. But there is actually more to designing than meets the eye.
So what happens when designers don't get the credit they deserve? They tend to intentionally mess up just to get your attention. This is the only probable explanation to these design flops. We have gathered the funniest design fails that will boggle your minds and make you laugh out loud.
Now this is a complete waste of time.

As the number one emergency services vehicle livery supplier in the UK, PVL is accustomed to being asked to respond to urgent branding requests, but a call from How's My Driving founder Ross Smith asking for a quote for his Niesmann & Bischoff Arto 69G A CLASS 5 berth motorhome for a mini tour of six air shows between now and the end of the year was a little different.
Keen to grow his portfolio of social enterprise companies Ross Smith recently set up Boatsharefinder.co.uk that sets out to enable existing and prospective boat owners to share ownership and use of boats they might otherwise not be able to afford individually.
Ross was on the M6 and spotted one of PVL's application team vehicles and from the signage on it realised that the solution to converting a recently acquired Motorhome to use as a promotional battle bus for Boatsharefinder.co.uk was probably at the end of a phone call.
He made contact with PVL's National Sales Manager Will Clarke and explained that he wanted the entire motorhome wrapped.
PVL's National Fittings Project Manager Mark Allen quickly identified that the new Avery MP11104 digital media vinyl with MP11460 overlay would provide the vibrancy, definition and life expectancy required.
Now that the highly distinctive motorhome is fully wrapped it is going to be used to tour boat shows and air shows around the UK providing a large promotional canvas for the new website based boat sharing enterprise.
Boatsharefinder.com had already commissioned a large cartoon-based piece artwork that required extensive reworking and tweaking in order to get the look of the vehicle absolutely right. PVL worked with the various designers for each elevation. Once the designs were finalised we applied the striking livery at our factory.
Ross Smith is a serial entrepreneur who owns several businesses including household names like Lyons Coffee. Having put in place experienced CEOs to run these businesses twenty years ago and having spent a considerable amount of time in his career on the road, he became aware of the high number of RTAs caused by lack of awareness of other vehicles and general carelessness on the road.
This prompted him to set up the national road safety scheme How's My Driving that encouraged owners of large fleets to put signs on the back of vehicles that would identify the individual vehicle and provide a national call centre number to report examples of good and bad driving.
Driving is an activity that becomes more automatic the more we do it and that familiarity leads to autopilot syndrome or driving without thought. How's My Driving reminds drivers displaying the badge to be more vigilant leading to greater road safety and costs saving due to fewer accidents.
After two decades the numbers of vehicles on the road with these badges has risen to over 10,000 and companies participating have seen accidental damage costs plummet.
The social enterprise is careful only to enlist companies and councils who are serious about maintaining high driving standards and as a result the UK now has a much better ratio of accidents to vehicles on the road to other countries including the USA.
How's My Driving / Boatsharefinder.com founder Ross Smith commented, " BoatShareFinder.com and DayonaBoat.com are on a mission to get more people boating and sharing unused boats that sit in marinas collecting weed. We're touring the UK's biggest coastal shows and instead of annoying day trippers with unwanted leaflets they won't read we've worked with PVL to put a giant message on wheels.

Ashes: England hope to land a punch in Boxing Day Test
The tourists lost the opening Test at The Gabba by nine wickets, which was followed by a 275-run humiliation at the Adelaide Oval. And, going into the traditional Boxing Day Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) from December 26, Root's men are staring down the barrel of losing the series within 14 days of play.
Melbourne | Saturday, 25 December 2021 | 01:35 PM 01:35 PM
England captain Joe Root
England Test captain Joe Root would be hoping that the four changes he has effected in the playing XI on the eve of the Boxing Day Test help his side claw back and make a fresh bid to regain the urn, which looks as good as lost after the humiliation in the first two Ashes games.
Despite the efforts put in by Root and No.3 batter Dawid Malan, runs have been scarce for the tourists, giving their bowlers little chance to claw things back. With Pat Cummins returning to lead Australia after a Covid-enforced quarantine break, England will once again be at the mercy of a potent bowling attack that will have the likes of the captain himself, Mitchell Starc, Test debutant Scott Boland, Cameron Green and spinner Nathan Lyon.
England will hope to emulate their batting form from the 2017 Boxing Day Test if they are to nurture any hopes of denying a series-deciding result to the hosts.

With the ball, there have been glimpses of quality, even if tactics and execution have been wayward. Spoiled by poor discipline and dropped chances, the likes of Stuart Broad, James Anderson and Ollie Robinson have provided highlights despite the disappointing start.
On the Australian side, they'll be the favourites to win at the MCG and retain the Ashes, with only a historically docile MCG wicket seemingly in their way.
The Ashes Test four years ago saw the now-retired Alastair Cook smash an unbeaten 244 across Day 2 and 3. Either side of Cook's fifth and final Test double-ton, David Warner and Steve Smith also made hundreds, with the match ending in a tame draw. After missing the Adelaide Test, Cummins will return as captain, taking back the reins from Smith, who will move back into the vice-captain's role.
Smith with the bat looked in good touch even with the burden of captaincy, making 93 in the first innings in Adelaide, complementing the work of David Warner (95) and Marnus Labuschagne (103), who also made a half-century in the second innings. The performance moved Labuschagne to the ICC Test No.1 ranking for batting.
Also read| England bench Burns, Broad as Crawley and Bairstow included for 3rd Ashes Test
England pushed the Adelaide Test into the final session of Day 5, though the late finish belied Australia's dominance, with the hosts winning by 275 runs after not enforcing the follow-on. Labuschagne is almost in his own world at the moment. The fifth-fastest player to 2,000 Test runs, the right-hander provides stability at No.3 in the batting order, blunting the new-ball threat and moving up the gears through shots around the wicket with compact technique.
With England having no effective plan to counter the 27-year-old -- and the MCG pitch likely to favour batters again -- Labuschagne could well continue to pile on the runs.
The tourists' hopes lie in Root and No. 3 in their side Malan, who has been a strong performer in what has been a bleak series for his side so far. Malan has rebuilt alongside his skipper in two century stands across the first two matches, with individual scores of 82 and 80 in the partnerships.
With England brining in Zak Crawley and Jonny Bairstow to solidify their batting, the tourists' focus is completely on the likely batting-friendly wicket to try and gather some runs and make a push for victory, and then go all out in the remaining two Tests -- at the SCG and Hobart.
Australia XI: David Warner, Marcus Harris, Marnus Labuschagne, Steve Smith, Travis Head, Cameron Green, Alex Carey (wk), Pat Cummins (c), Mitchell Starc, Nathan Lyon and Scott Boland.
England XI: Haseeb Hameed, Zak Crawley, Dawid Malan, Joe Root (c), Ben Stokes, Jonny Bairstow, Jos Buttler (wk), Mark Wood, Ollie Robinson, Jack Leach and James Anderson.

Your "carbon footprint" Is Infinitesimal
Submitted by Jerry Halberstadt on Sun, 01/22/2023 - 23:50
Guest article by Win Flint
We all want to see the truly enormous changes required of our nation and world to mitigate and slow climate change. Only government has the power to mandate and implement the needed systemic changes. Getting government to change requires legislation and for that to happen, politicians need to change. They only do this after extreme pressure from voters.
So British Petroleum (BP) and the fossil energy empires are doing everything they can to prevent people from uniting for change. Hence the "carbon footprint".

Managing the Energy Revolution: Protect fossil fuel or the environment?
Submitted by Jerry Halberstadt on Wed, 05/04/2022 - 21:21
A revolution has begun.
Clean power from renewable resources is beating fossil fuels in price, reliability, and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. As governments support these climate-friendly sources of power with financial and other incentives, they pose a threat to suppliers of fossil fuel energy.

The Little Plant That Shouldn't
Submitted by Jerry Halberstadt on Sat, 03/12/2022 - 02:18
We are concerned about the future of our grandchildren. Their future depends on our rapid action to replace burning fossil fuels to produce energy with renewable energy sources. This goal is essential to mitigate climate disaster and must be met by everyone working together, especially by the government. Therefore we are advocates for a responsive government that serves the public—but people that we trust to do the people's business are not acting in our interests.

Can't get there from here?
Submitted by Jerry Halberstadt on Tue, 02/22/2022 - 20:21
So here we are, watching a new but already obsolete methane gas-fueled electric generator being installed to help meet the responsibility of 14 municipal light plants to provide power to meet the peak needs of the electric system. This Project 2015A, the Peabody peaker plant, developed by the Massachusetts Wholesale Electric Company (MMWEC), has no rational basis consistent with public health, environmental concerns, or climate warming. There are better solutions, nonpolluting, more reliable, and less expensive.
But our regulators have not adapted to the changing technology options and do not recognize the danger of the climate crisis in determining policy. The regulators at the regional and national level claim to use competition on price as a means of regulating and serving the common good. But we know that people and institutions motivated by profit tend to be vulnerable to economic and political influence that can punish innovation and harm the public good. Today, we see policies that protect fossil fuel plants that cause harm and create unfair challenges for renewable sources of energy and battery storage.

What Happens in Peabody, Does Not Stay in Peabody
What will we do for our grandchildren?
On a bright November Saturday, advocates for clean energy from across Massachusetts joined Peabody residents in the "Peabody Peaker Push" at the courthouse in Peabody Square to advocate against the proposed gas- and oil-fired electric generator ("Project 2015A").
Among them was Peabody resident Hunter, a young man of 8 years, holding a sign that said, "Non Renewable Energy is Peak Stupidity."

HIGHLAND, CA (KCAL/KCBS/CNN) – A World War II veteran in California has only one wish for his upcoming 96th birthday: He wants to get birthday cards, from anyone.
His daughter is trying to make it happen.
Duane Sherman doesn't get a lot of mail these days.
"All my friends are gone," he said.
Sherman didn't feel much like celebrating his birthday this Dec. 30 – at least not until his daughter Sue Morse went on Facebook and asked anyone out there reading to send him a birthday card.
He was a chief sonar man aboard the USS Lamson, and he remembers the moment a kamikaze plane hit his ship.
"The flames from the crash, engulfing the bridge," he said.
Thirty of his shipmates lost their lives in the attack. Sherman still has shrapnel in his back.
You could call it a happy birthday wish, or a "thank you" for his service. Either way, Sherman will have a good time checking his mail for cards.
"Well, I'll have a hell of a time reading them," he said.
If you want to make Sherman's wish come true, send a card to: Duane Sherman c/o Sue Morse, P.O. Box 794, Highland, CA 92346.

A new survey by Gas Safe Register – the UK's gas safety body has revealed that 1 in 6 homes or approximately 4.2 million households has an 'unsafe' gas appliance for full report click here.
Unsafe gas appliances put homeowners and tenants at risk from a number of dangers that include fire, gas leaks, explosion or carbon monoxide poisoning. Gas Safety Awareness being given an increased profile over the years, originally through CORGI and in recent through the Gas Safe Register. So why do such alarming reports still making headlines like this? There are many factors that contribute to these shocking statistics. 1 in 3 householders admit that they have never had their gas appliances services or checked! Many householders fail to check the credentials of 'gas engineers' meaning that Illegal and un-registered engineers often continue working un-checked. Disreputable landlords fail to maintain their properties and obtain annual gas safety certificates. Trevor Daniels, Gas Training manager at Options Skills stated, ''We support moves by Gas Safe Register to regulate the industry and rid ourselves of the blight of illegal, cowboy gas installers. There is no reason why in 2013 that we are still suffering from the same problems and issues that existed 20-years ago. Approved training courses that will educate and make safe would be gas engineers are available to those that have the desire and willingness to follow an approved learning plan. There are no excuses for illegal operators and those that are caught should be prosecuted and made an example of.'' Options Skills offers a number of different gas safe training courses that include courses for complete beginners, plumbers or builders that are looking to up-skill to gas and for existing and previously qualified gas installers. See gas safety courses for more details.

"Saving a Suspicious Husband" by V. K. Telkepalli
"The inspector could have waited for the forensic team!" shouted Andrew while we were on the way back to our apartment, and I was thinking of a nice title for his new, simple case.
A few hours ago there was a knock on the door and Andrew said as he updated his Facebook profile "That would probably be the inspector."
I was having my breakfast and knew for a fact that he would not open the door; I did and the inspector stood before me.
"Good morning inspector," I said greeting him and he just smiled looking at me and said to Andrew, "I think you must come with me."
Andrew looked at him for a moment and asked "Well, you look exhausted! The crime scene is nearby isn't it?"
"Stop it and rush with me!" insisted the Inspector.
Andrew giggled and stood up. He tapped on the inspectors' shoulder before both of them moved to the crime scene.
"Wait! I am coming!" I shouted. A moment later I rushed behind them down the stairs.
We crossed the street and briskly walked past a few blocks. Finally, we reached a three-storey building. Before the building was an ambulance and a few police cars. And neighboring people had already gathered with their presumptions of what might have happened.
As we ascended the stairs, Andrew asked: "So, what happened?"
Inspector explained saying "The housemaid called us saying her employer killed his wife for cheating on him. For some reason, he tied her before he killed her. We took him into our custody and he is now claiming that he didn't kill her and the cherry on top of the case is that he is the one who hired you to solve his case."
"Intriguing! Husband killed his wife and asks Andrew to prove that he is innocent?" I repeated. Without another word, all three of us entered the room.
We looked at the dead woman in her nightgown on the couch shot in her stomach. The housemaid was giving her statement to the policemen and the house was a mess. The quarrel they had the previous night might have gone a bit too far and I presumed that the heat of the moment might have made the husband attack.
"Inspector, give me a minute with the body. Tell your people to leave and let the husband stay" said Andrew as he still examined the body.
"So Mr. can you tell us what happened again?" I asked him as I pulled my notepad out.
"I have already told the police and I am saying it again! Although I tried to kill her, I didn't kill her!" shouted the husband.
"So you wished to kill her but unfortunately it was not you?" I asked again.
He said "I was the one who shot..." but for a moment he stopped.
"That's it then you are guilty" I concluded.
"Sir! I beg you to listen to me. I knew she was cheating on me and I confirmed it yesterday after looking at her right-hand wrist with some marks on it. So I decided to talk to her and sort it out but she started quarrelling with me. She walked out of the bedroom with her bedsheets and I left her alone. Seeing the marks I presumed that she was being physical with a person with whom she has been cheating. Now, please don't assume I didn't ask her, because I did and she refused to accept it. What made me furious was that she even tried to hit me before she left the room. That night, I slept for a while and woke up after a bad dream about my wife. I could not control my anger and what provoked me the most was that my wife couldn't confront me but was willing to be hurt by another person. In the heat of the moment, I took my gun and shot her during midnight as far as I remember, as she was lying on the couch silently like a dead woman. However, you must note that though I was the one who shot her, it is not me who killed her as she was already dead when I shot her." he said trying to assure us.
"What is this? Do you mean somebody killed her before you shot? Have you been on drugs lately? Andrew, this man is out of his mind lets go!" I said in a frustrated tone.
"Lewis gives me your phone and please call the police inside. He is not guilty," stated Andrew taking a deep breath and started folding his handcuffs.
I called the police inside and Andrew returned my phone and stated "Well, the husband is innocent although he tried to kill her. He shot her exactly at her stomach so that means if she was alive, she would have cried in pain and the marks which you see on her hand are not the marks that form after being tied. Actually, those are the marks of Ricin, a poison made out of castor leftovers and it seems like the murderer tied her with a cloth which was affected with Ricin. If you look at her, it seems like she went there to have sex with him. The lipstick, the makeup on her face, and the strong perfume are all the signs that she went to a person whom she liked the most; but his intentions were different. One important thing to be remembered here is that ricin is a slow poison and its reaction takes place after a few hours of injecting it. Probably a day, but it looks like the dosage was high enough, so it reacted quickly than expected. So inspector, go and catch the person with whom she was before she returned home and most probably the husband might be knowing who that is and I would suggest you be fast."
Andrew turned to the husband and said: "Please drop the cheque in my mailbox by tomorrow."
As we walked back the inspector asked "So do you know the name of the man whom your wife met?" and the husband replied, "Who said it was a he?"

CONTEXT ANNOUNCES MAJOR SPONSORSHIP OF FFA PROGRAMS
Context is pleased to announce its commitment and new partnership with the National FFA Foundation to support agricultural education opportunities for young people in the U.S.
"We're very excited about The Context Network joining us as a sponsor," says Mark Poeschl, chief executive officer of the National FFA organization and the National FFA Foundation. Poeschl sees strong parallels between the work of Context and the mission of FFA, formerly known as Future Farmers of America. He notes: "Context is shaping the model for 21st century agriculture by helping companies think strategically and plan for the future, while FFA is preparing students to be engaged in 21st century agriculture. This is how we make the connection between young people and real life."
Specifically, Context's partnership will focus on supporting three key programs that deliver opportunities for members and expand recognition of FFA as a premier agriculture education resource. Context will sponsor the National FFA Marketing Plan Career Development Event, a competitive activity in which student teams from across the country write a marketing plan for an actual agricultural product, supply, or service in their community. "We're excited about sponsoring this event because it's at the heart of the work we do every day," says Context Principal Mark Nelson. "Beyond our sponsorship, we will earnestly extend our support at all levels, including coaching and mentoring students in local chapters and serving as judges at state events, as well the national competition."
Furthermore, Context will join the National FFA Sponsors' Board, a cohort of corporate executives who leverage their industry relationships to assist the National FFA Foundation in raising funds. Context Principal Doug Griffin, who will serve on the board, recalls his time as president of his local FFA chapter as being instrumental in shaping his leadership abilities. He says, "There are very few, if any, organizations that develop young men and women the way that FFA does. I'm honored to give back to an organization that's given me and my colleagues so much." In addition, Context is co-sponsoring the convention's Sponsors Recognition Dinner, an appreciation event that honors more than 600 sponsors and donors.
Since its founding by 33 farmers in 1928, FFA has grown far beyond its initial purpose of preparing young people to work in production agriculture. The organization now blends classroom instruction, leadership development, and hands-on work experience to expose young members to a wide range of career possibilities. The need for new talent across fields ranging from agribusiness, animal science, biotechnology, environmental science, food science and production, natural resources, plant science, mechanics, and more is pressing. Poeschl points to a 2015 Purdue University study indicating that 23,000-25,000 jobs directly related to agriculture currently go unfilled each year.
While the partnership marks a new level of commitment from Context as a whole, many individuals within Context have formative ties to FFA. Senior Business Analysts Jason Troendle and Seth Pratt held national offices with FFA during their college years. Both men recall the "sea of blue" at National FFA Convention & Expo, where more than 64,000 attendees gather each year with students donning the blue corduroy jackets that are the hallmark of FFA. Pratt says, "I wouldn't be the same person without FFA. I started out as a Western boy who knew about one farm in one place. FFA broadened my perspective and allowed me to understand my farm within the context of agriculture across the country. I carry that understanding of the national agricultural economy into my work every day." Having grown up one generation removed from his grandparents' farm, Troendle credits his local FFA chapter for instilling his passion for agricultural economics. He says, "Without FFA, there's a decent chance I wouldn't be working in agribusiness."
Poeschl says he looks forward to seeing Context principals, associates and analysts amid the "sea of blue" at the 90th National FFA Convention October 25-28, 2017, in Indianapolis. He says, "It makes a big difference when organizations like Context feel strongly enough about our work to financially support us." Context's commitment to FFA is meaningful to many in the network too. Troendle says, "Having joined Context recently, I'm excited that we have principals who are passionate about the same thing I am and who see the value in developing leadership in young people."
To discuss the possibility of joining Context in its support of the National FFA Foundation, contact Doug Griffin at doug.griffin@contextnet.com or 678.772.1077.
The National FFA Organization is a national youth organization of 649,355 student members as part of 7,859 local FFA chapters in all 50 states, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The organization is supported by 225,891 alumni members in 1,934 local FFA Alumni chapters throughout the U.S. The FFA mission is to make a positive difference in the lives of students by developing their potential for premier leadership, personal growth and career success through agricultural education. The National FFA Foundation builds partnerships with industry, education, government, other foundations and individuals to secure financial resources that recognize FFA member achievements, develop student leaders and support the future of agricultural education.

In May 2011, an advance stopping point marker comprising a triangular board with an exclamation mark [21.145] was provided 158 metres on the approach to new signal UR139 on the Down Main line at West Ham. This board indicates the position at which trains should come to a stand when signal UR139 is at 'danger', to avoid electric trains stopping inside the nearby overhead neutral section. A telephone is provided at the board to allow drivers to communicate with the signalman.

Between Surbiton and Woking in 2011, South West Trains (in conjunction with Network Rail Wessex Route) was trialling different designs of car stop markers that would stand out more clearly against other platform signage. There were two designs; one with a five-sided shape specifically for 10 and 12-car trains [21.146], and an octagonal one for all other formations [21.147].

Following the introduction of Class 380 'Desiro' electric multiple units on the Ayrshire Coast Line, special stop markers were provided on the approach to certain stop signals. Each marker takes the form of a train class specific notice board (see [26.20]) with the legend "class 380" at the top and the words "stop here" in the middle [21.148]. Stopping a Class 380 at this sign ensures that the train's pantograph does not come to rest too close to any nearby booster transformer or neutral section.

Special stop markers bearing a letter "X" [21.149] were installed at the north end of Norwood Junction station in December 2011. These signs apply only to 8-car Class 171 'Turbostar' diesel multiple units shunting out of Selhurst Depot. Stopping at this marker ensures that the train is accommodated within the platform before the driver changes ends.
Area: Norwood Junction Usage: Low Status: Current
Where a platform has alternative stopping positions for trains of different lengths, there is a risk that a driver may stop the train at the wrong car stop marker. In some instances, the risk can be eliminated by defining a common stopping point for all trains. Where this is not practicable or desirable, other measures can be put in place. From 2012, special signage was provided at certain stations, designed to help drivers stop their trains at the correct position along the platform. The car stop markers are uniquely coloured according to train length [21.150]. There may also be a sign underneath, with an arrow showing on which side of the train the doors must be released and encouraging the driver to pause before doing so [21.151]. At the start of each platform concerned, there is a preliminary sign prompting the driver to check the formation of the train and showing which colour of stop marker to look out for [21.152].

From c.2012, new car stop markers were provided at stations on the West Coast Main Line. The legend at the top of each board denotes the applicable class of train, which in most cases is either "Class 22x" or "Class 390" for Class 220/221 'Voyager' or Class 390 'Pendolino' trains, respectively [21.153]. No train operating company name is specified. A 'precision' stop marker is suffixed with the letter "X" and also bears the word "precision" [21.154]. Where Selective Door Operation applies, the board has a blue background and the letters "SDO" are added [21.155]. Where necessary, separate stop markers are installed for Class 390 trains hauled by Class 57 diesel locomotives [21.156].
[21.153] Car Stop Marker (e.g. applicable to Class 22X trains).

La ligne est une ligne ferroviaire en construction au Japon entre Tokyo et Osaka-Kōbe via Nagoya et destinée à accueillir des trains maglev. À l'heure actuelle, seule une portion de la ligne existe, dans la préfecture de Yamanashi, où elle sert de piste d'essai pour les trains à sustentation magnétique.
Projet
Histoire
Dès 1962, soit 2 ans avant l'ouverture en 1964 du Shinkansen Tokaido, première ligne de train à grande vitesse, les chemins de fer nationaux japonais (JNR) s'intéressèrent au développement de la technologie Maglev dans le but de relier Tokyo et Osaka en une heure. Peu de temps après que les laboratoires américains de Brookhaven ont breveté la technologie de lévitation à aimants supraconducteurs en 1969, JNR annonce la mise au point de sa propre technologie, le SCMaglev. Le premier prototype employant cette technologie locale est testé en 1972 puis déménage cinq ans plus tard sur une piste d'essai de 7 kilomètres construite à Hyuga, dans la préfecture de Miyazaki.
Année après année la technologie est affinée et le développement se poursuit même après la privatisation de JNR qui devient JR Central. La ligne test est allongée à 18,4 kilomètres en 1997 puis à 42,8 kilomètres en 2012 à travers la préfecture de Yamanashi. Le système ayant été déclaré viable par le gouvernement cette ligne d'essai sera prolongée pour former la ligne d'exploitation Shinkansen Chūō.
Route
Pour relier Tokyo et Osaka, trois tracés sont à l'origine envisagés : via Kiso (le plus long), via Ina, ou direct à travers les monts Akaishi (Alpes japonaises du Sud). Le , le trajet direct est retenu car il est le plus rentable : coût de de yens ( d'euros de 2016) pour un effet économique attendu de de yens minimum.
Les travaux entre Tokyo et Nagoya ont débuté le . Les coûts de construction se décomposent en de yens pour l'infrastructure et pour le matériel roulant, entièrement à la charge de la compagnie JR Central.
Premier tronçon
L'ouverture du premier tronçon allant de Tokyo à Nagoya est prévue pour 2027. Il sera à 86 % souterrain, la longueur totale des tunnels étant de . Le reste de la ligne sera construite sur viaduc (), ponts () et au sol (). Une partie des lignes aériennes seront cependant couvertes pour en réduire le bruit de circulation.
L'ouverture du second tronçon, de Nagoya à Osaka, est prévue pour 2037.
Stations
La première section de la ligne comprendra six stations, dont trois souterraines afin de réaliser des économies foncières selon le concept dai-shindo chika ().
Le a eu lieu la cérémonie d'inauguration du chantier de deux quais dédiés qui seront situés à 40 mètres de profondeur sous la gare de Shinagawa à Tokyo, terminus futur de la ligne.
Service
Le trajet Tokyo-Nagoya, villes distantes de presque , devrait prendre quarante minutes au lieu d'une heure et quarante minutes avec la ligne Shinkansen Tōkaidō et Tokyo-Osaka au lieu de . Un premier train fera la liaison directe suivi par des trains s'arrêtant à chaque station à 6 minutes d'intervalle.
JR Central espère attirer de passagers par an sur cette nouvelle ligne, dont proviendraient des utilisateurs actuels du Shinkansen Tokaido.
Technologie
Sustentation magnétique
Le Shinkansen Chūō utilise le système SCMaglev à sustentation électrodynamique (EDS). Le train est sustenté, guidé et propulsé par les forces attractives et répulsives qui s'exercent entre des aimants supraconducteurs placés dans ses bogies et des bobines placés de part et d'autre des voies.
Voies
La voie est formée d'un radier en béton des côtés duquel s'élèvent des guides verticaux supportant une succession de deux bobines : une de sustentation et de guidage par-dessus une de propulsion. Chaque bobine de sustentation/guidage est enroulée en 8 et connectée par-dessous la voie à celle qui lui fait face.
Propulsion
La propulsion du train est assurée par un synchrone, une technologie qui n'est pas exclusive au Maglev. Un courant alternatif triphasé circule dans les bobines de propulsion fixes et y génère un champ magnétique dont la polarité varie. La fréquence de ce courant alternatif est synchronisée afin que le décalage entre le pole des aimants des bogies et le pole du champ magnétique des bobines créé une force propulsant le train dans une direction.
Lévitation
Lorsque le train avance, le déplacement de ses aimants induit un courant (courant de Foucault) dans les bobines fixes de la voie. Ce courant induit génère à son tour un champ magnétique dans les bobines. Parce que le champ magnétique des aimants se déplace sous le centre des bobines, cela y crée deux pôles magnétiques, l'un repoussant par le bas et l'autre attirant par le haut les aimants des bogies, faisant ainsi léviter la rame à 10 centimètres du sol.
Le principal avantage de cette technologie est sa capacité d'auto stabilisation - une faible variation de la distance entre l'aimant et la voie génère une force qui ramène le système dans sa position optimale. Pour éviter les vibrations résultant de ces corrections constantes de position, les rames sont équipées de systèmes d'absorption.
Son principal défaut est la nécessité de conserver des roues pour les départs et arrivées. En effet, pour des vitesses inférieures à 150 km/h, le courant induit dans les bobines par les aimants est trop faible et les forces de sustentation ne sont donc pas suffisantes pour faire léviter le train.
Record de vitesse
Sur la portion expérimentale de la ligne ont été battus plusieurs records de vitesse ferroviaire. Le le train prototype ML-500R atteint la vitesse de 517 km/h, qui ne sera pas dépassée pendant 18 ans. Le , le prototype MLX01 atteint 531 km/h puis bat ces précédents records en (552 km/h) et en (581 km/h).
Il faudra ensuite attendre presque 12 ans pour que, le , un train de présérie L0 atteigne 590 km/h, établissant un record mondial pour un train de passagers qui tiendra moins d'une semaine, puisque le il en établit un nouveau à 603 km/h.
Consommation énergétique
Comparaison de l'énergie électrique nécessaire au déplacement d'un passager (un siège) sur 1 kilomètre :
Shinkansen Chūō : 90 - 100 Wh / siège / km ;
Train à grande vitesse de type Nozomi : 29 Wh / siège / km
Pour déplacer un passager sur la même distance, la consommation estimée du Shinkansen Chūō est trois fois supérieure à celle d'un train à grande vitesse classique mais la vitesse de déplacement et la capacité d'accélération et de décélération sont bien supérieures. Entre Tokyo et Osaka, JR Central estime que la consommation énergétique par personne du train sera trois fois moindre que celle de l'avion pour un temps de trajet entre centres-villes raccourci de moitié.
Tourisme
Vitrine technologique du Japon et site touristique pour ferrovipathes, la piste d'essai du Shinkansen Chūō possède plusieurs points d'observation et permet même parfois aux visiteurs d'emprunter les trains pour un court trajet.
Un centre pour visiteurs, situé à Tsuru, présente la technologie et permet d'observer de près les trains en test et parfois de les emprunter.
La ville de Fuefuki dans la préfecture de Yamanashi a aménagé en 2016 deux points de vue :
l'observatoire Hanatoriyama dans le parc Linear no Mieru Oka, « colline d'où l'on peut voir le train à moteurs linéaires » ;
une plateforme dans le parc Yatsushiro Furusato.
Critiques
Le projet de Ligne Shinkansen Chūō a reçu les critiques suivantes:
son coût de construction est extraordinairement élevé, il serait équivalent à au moins 5,5 fois, voire 11,3 fois, celui du Tokaido Shinkansen ;
ce type de train a besoin de beaucoup d'énergie, il en consommerait cinq fois plus que le Tokaido Shinkansen ;
l'impact environnemental de sa construction serait énorme ;
son exploitation sera probablement déficitaire, et cela devra être remboursé en utilisant les bénéfices d'exploitation du Tokaido Shinkansen, qui seront eux-mêmes affaiblis par la concurrence du Shinkansen Chūō ;
le projet souffre d'un déficit démocratique et d'un manque de débat public.

French retains a major place in Morocco, as it is taught universally and serves as Morocco's primary language of commerce and economics, culture, sciences and medicine; it is also widely used in education and government. Morocco is a member of the Francophonie.
Moroccans are primarily of Arab and Berber (Amazigh) origin, as in other neighbouring countries in Maghreb region. Today, Moroccans are considered a mix of Arab, Berber, and mixed Arab-Berbers or Arabized Berbers, alongside other minority ethnic backgrounds from across the region.
The French Protectorate consisted of a majority, about nine-tenths, of Morocco. France controlled the Moroccan land to the south of the Spanish Protectorate. The capital city of the French Protectorate was Rabat (History of Morocco to the Present Day, Moroccansands.com).
Moroccan Arabic is So Different Than MSA and Other Arabic Dialects. The Arabic dialect in Morocco is called Moroccan Arabic or Moroccan Darija. It has been heavily influenced by the Berber languages (Amazigh) and to a lesser extent by French and Spanish. … Morocco is also a member of the Francophonie.

Personnel news: Fayetteville Woodpeckers
By Ballpark Digest Editors on May 5, 2020 in Minor-League Baseball, The Front Office
Fayetteville Woodpeckers (High A; Carolina League) President Mark Zarthar, who led the creation of the team and the development of Segra Stadium, has accepted an offer from the Philadelphia Flyers (NHL) to join the team's front office as Senior Vice President of Marketing.
The Woodpeckers enjoyed a robust start in a successful 2019 inaugural season. During his tenure, Segra Stadium was named "Ballpark of the Decade" by Ballpark Digest. The Woodpeckers also earned Ballpark Digest's award for Best New Branding/Logo. Here's some background on the team branding; here's an account of our visit to Segra Stadium.
"Mark was the driving force behind our incredible first-year success in Fayetteville from ballpark construction, to brand development, to immense local fandom and community engagement," said Houston Astros Senior Director of Business Operations, Dan O'Neill. "He has built a foundation for sustainable success of this franchise that will benefit the City of Fayetteville and the Houston Astros organization for years to come. We are excited to see him excel in his new endeavor and wish him the very best."
Zarthar, 32, initially joined the Woodpeckers in February 2018, having previously worked for Anheuser-Busch as the Global Director of Sports Marketing.

Background: Medication nonadherence is high among patients with bipolar disorder, and may lead to poor clinical outcomes, decreased quality of life, and increased resource utilization.
Objective: To investigate the factors associated with nonadherence and to assess the effect of patient-stated preferences on stated adherence to hypothetical medications.
Research Design: A choice-format stated-preference Web survey was administered. In each choice question, patients were asked to choose among 2 or 3 different hypothetical medications. Each choice question was followed by a question asking patients about their likely adherence to the selected medication alternative.
Subjects: Patients (N = 469) with self-reported bipolar disorder completed the survey which was programmed and administered to members of a chronic-illness Web panel.
Measures: Factors associated with stated adherence to current treatment were identified. The effects of socioeconomic characteristics and medication attributes on stated adherence to hypothetical medications were assessed.
Results: Patient socioeconomic characteristics affect patients' adherence. Being white and having more education has a significant positive effect on adherence. Self-reported current adherence is a strong factor in predicting adherence for better medications. Medication outcome attributes, especially severity of depressive episodes, strongly influence patients' stated adherence to treatment. Weight gain and cognitive effects of a medication most significantly affected patients' likely adherence to medications for bipolar disorder.
Conclusions: Patients are the final health care decision makers; their satisfaction with a medication is likely to affect whether or not they adhere to the medication prescribed by their physician. In the case of bipolar disorder, this study suggests patients are likely to be more adherent to medications that reduce the severity of depressive episodes and do not cause weight gain or cognitive side effects. By understanding the factors that improve adherence, health care providers can optimize prescribing patterns, which may ultimately lead to more effective management and improvement in the patient's condition.

3 Hilarious But Terrible Retirement Tips
— Posted by Angela Cheruseo, 27th November 2014
What are your views on saving for your Retirement? I have found that many people have a variety of views on this some good advice some bad advice. Take a read at a few
You're Too Young—Er—Old to Save For Retirement
"I was once told I'm too young for a retirement account," Eleanor S. said. Nicholas S. received similar advice and was told to enjoy his money while he's young, before life gets too serious. "I get it," Nicholas said. "I'm 26, and it's not cool to be budgeting and planning for my retirement already" Or there is still plenty of time you can worry about retirement later. For many "later" never come.
Actually, an early start is key to building up enough savings for a comfortable retirement. The sooner you start, the more compound interest works in your favor. Putting off retirement savings by just a few years can make a million-dollar difference in your nest egg!
On the flip side of the age coin, you'll find folks who say they've missed the retirement savings boat. "It's too late to start saving for retirement," someone once told Becky M. At the time, that person planned to work just 15 more years, but that's not how things turned out. "Twenty years later, they are still working because they didn't save," Becky told us.
It's never too late to start saving for retirement. A focused plan can make a big difference in your retirement outlook in just a few years.
Stay Safe at All Costs
You've probably got plenty of well-meaning relatives who just want to you to play it safe in everything from the way you drive to the way you save for retirement. For example, Amy A. was told, "The best way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket."
Elisha R.'s grandmother-in-law told her to bury her retirement fund "in $100 bills under the roses."
"The stock market is basically gambling," Sandi S. was told. "It will go up, but when it comes down, you lose everything."
Advice like this comes from a fear of risk. While we're the first to tell you to spend wisely and save up for emergencies, conservative mutual fund investing with a long-term outlook is still the most effective way to save for retirement. It's not without risk, but neither is burying your money in the ground. Just a couple of years later, those $100 bills will be worth less than they were the day you planted them underneath the roses.
Don't Worry—Someone Else Will Take Care of You When You Retire
Chris C. was told not to bother saving for retirement. "Why even plan for it? The government will take care of you," was the advice he received.
"Your mom's rich," someone pointed out to Emily V. "Just wait until she croaks. Problem solved!"
Or, how about, "Have a bunch of kids so they will take care of you," as Steve W. was advised.
Don't leave your retirement up to someone else. The fact is, your retirement is no one else's responsibility—not the government's, not your parents' and not your kids'. "[I'm] working the Baby Steps with my husband, knowing that the only security we will have in life is the security that we provide for ourselves," Emily said.
That is advice you can follow!
How About Some Retirement Advice You Can Use?
Clearly, bad advice is easy to get. Well-meaning friends and relatives will dish it out right along with the mashed potatoes and gravy.
But an experienced investing professional will give you retirement investing advice you can actually use.
Whether you're just starting to invest for retirement or you've been at it for years, a pro will help you build a fine-tuned retirement plan that takes into account how long you have to save.
And, it's your investing advisor's job to help you choose great mutual funds and teach you how the stock market's ups and downs work together to build your nest egg. You'll end up with a retirement plan that you can count on to provide for you when you reach your golden years. There is alway the investment in Real Estate Property as another option which most Kiwis lean to. But at the very least if it all sounds just too hard, begin with a KiwisSaver account.

Going to the opera is such a lavish event. The lights, the set, the costumes, the music… It really is quite the experience. But what's often overlooked is the crew, technicians and musicians working like crazy behind the scenes so these productions are seamless for your experience. So I thought I'd get a little more insight into what really goes on behind the curtain.
Recently, I took a backstage tour with the Stage Manager, John who drives this huge "ship" making sure that every light is cued, every rope is pulled and every artist is in place for the show to go on. The cool part was, his father was the Stage Manager before him. Since John was a boy, he learned a ton of secrets about this stage and knows the inside and out of the War Memorial Hall where the San Francisco Opera and the San Francisco Ballet performs. First, he walked us backstage to show us where the crew loads in their beautiful props and set (that sometimes come from Europe).
As an oboist, one of my favorite parts of the tour was going inside the orchestra pit. The musicians (ranging from another 50-75 people!) who support the opera are definitely vital to a successful performance for the singers, especially the Music Director who truly drives the entire show. I just couldn't resist seeing what it felt like sitting in that seat. You have no idea how excited I was to take this picture!
Next week I'll be sharing more of my backstage tour taking you up inside the iconic chandelier, the creepy attack and the basement of the War Memorial Hall. Did I mention this will include a real phantom of the opera story that happened right here in San Francisco? Oh yes.
What is your favorite design feature of the War Memorial Hall? Do you wish there could be anything different? What are some of your favorite venues that you've visited?

This book makes good reading and is often dramatic. Each of its 16 chapters follows the same recipe: take a classroom problem in science teaching and engage a thoughtful and gifted teacher to write a real account of wrestling with it. These are undoubtedly the most vivid parts of the book. I particularly like the scenes from "The Laws of Science", "Constructivism", "Questioning", "Teaching Ethics", and the more sinister "Power" (in the classroom).
The voices of the children are authentic, puzzled, sometimes confident and often full of imagination. The voices of the teachers are also authentic and impressively honest. The memorable extract about the use of teacher power in the face of evil-minded youngsters trying to gas their cockroaches includes the setting of a successful trap to catch the delinquents. "I had them. I turned my smile into a hard scowl," the teacher says.
Of course, 34 children are too many for comfortable control, and their behaviour can be a nightmare. Even when other pupils get the scientific ideas wrong and blame Newton for his awkward first law, the teacher remarks that he, too, has found this difficult. They are "good kids", he says, and wonders what should be changed, the students, the science, or his own educational values - an excellent question that only he can answer.
These teacher scenes are followed by several commentaries by established scholars. Most offer their own elaboration of what has happened, some explain a current educational theory that seems relevant, and others give advice to the teacher on how to cope with these problems. Readers will not be surprised to hear that these experts rarely agree. Sometimes they offer contrasting ideas, sometimes complementary ones. Most are accessible and interesting, even if less vivid than the classroom accounts. The final pages are taken up with the "Editors' synthesis" - a truly difficult job under the circumstances.
Real teaching quandaries abound. In lessons on ethics, adolescent children often reflect back to us the xenophobia of their community; how can we reform this? Almost all small children describe the attractive force of the magnet as making the iron object "stick" to it, and they don't mean glue. When children are perplexed about explaining electric current, and rival theories begin to win the day, should we offer the authoritative answer? If the boys take the girls' batteries and they don't bother to complain for half the lesson, what action or comment is appropriate?
Most of the teachers in this book are Australian, but the issues and researchers' theories are common to all countries. I strongly recommend the book to teachers and postgraduate students for its invaluable reality. The chapters describe, in context, events that any student teacher will probably meet within the first year, and comments on them. That must be helpful and thought-provoking.

***An open search engine
With over 2700 Manila sites hosted on EditThisPage.Com, we now have an interestingly large base of content and no way to search it. Until now.
EditThisPage: How to set up a Manila site for searching.
The interface is open and documented, implemented in XML-RPC, so other content management systems could tie into our search engine, and other search engines could support Manila sites.
A list of sites we index. Some people got in early, by being curious! But wait, there's more. A page listing the most popular searches and one listing the most recent ones.
***Regular expressions for Weblogs.Com
One of the nicest features on the home page of Weblogs.Com is its search command. For example, here's a query for all the weblogs that mention SXSW. That's an easy search string to find, it's unlikely to appear in any context other than the SXSW conference in Austin in March.
But what if, for example, you wanted to find all the sites that have the word "cool" mis-spelled, with extra o's and want to find them all in one shot, regardless of how many o's they have? Here's a Regex query that finds those sites.
So that's the little goodie. We're doing a toe-dip. We've not put Regex on a server before, so we're not sure if it's 100 percent reliable. We decided to try it on our newest server, with a crowd that might care and see what happens. There's a cribsheet for Regex, with pointers, please discuss on the Weblogs.Com DG.

So like Pavlov's dog, I now know how to get links from that crowd, and I might know a few more tricks too. Woof woof!
BTW, the only reason I criticized Powazek is that I think his design sucks. I had tried it several times, so I know it had nothing to do with my mood. He preaches about his design skill so mightily. I think he's pompous, a set-up to be ragged on if there ever was one.
And a PS to Evan and Meg at Pyra, two very sweet people whose logs I read regularly, if I had known he was coming to work for you I would have sat it out. Best wishes for friendly respectful competition, that's not what this is about.
***About the cowskull
Since people mention the cowskull disaster so frequently, I thought I should explain what happened. The cowskull was originally intended to be a mode-flip, to move you from the presentation view to the editorial view of a story or picture in a Manila site, and back.
Somehow this broke during the development of Manila and no one noticed. The other side of the mode-flip, from the editorial view to the presentation view was deleted. This is an internal team issue at UserLand and should not concern anyone else, unless they're interested. So anyway, the cowskull was not correctly implemented. Whatever. Onward!
BTW, it's really silly to pick on this one glitch. Look at Manila as a whole. It's a very large community of users. That couldn't have happened if we hadn't done a lot of things right.

Sara Brooks: CEO of Covet Public Relations
Saskia Boogman | September 14, 2016
Sara Brooks is saving the really dish-worthy details of how she launched her own public relations firm for a tell-all memoir. What she will tell us is that a gut feeling, a giant leap of faith, and a few chance encounters, all played a part in taking Sara from working at big names like MTV and E! to creating her own PR empire, Covet Public Relations.
Specializing in consumer packaged goods, Covet focuses on disruptive food, beverage and beauty brands in the health and wellness space. Companies like Annie's Homegrown, Suja and Kopari rely on the firm for their media relations. But even more impressive than a big-name client list is the impressive waiting list of companies looking to get in.
One reason for all that success? A passionate, multitalented team of employees who are deeply connected to the work Covet does day in and day out. "Our team is made up foodies, fitness junkies, wellness aficionados and beauty buffs with diverse backgrounds and perspectives," says Sara. "Because we personally share many of the core values with [our] brands … we approach each task with a genuine passion that is palpable."
How did you get started in the world of PR?
From the earliest time I can remember, I wanted to be a talk show host. I love talking to people, hearing their stories and spreading the word about their work. However, after a few harsh doses of reality in my early 20s, I realized that, while taking over Oprah's job might not be in the cards, I could still use my passion, people skills and creativity to shape my career. After working at MTV, E! Entertainment and a regional glossy magazine, I decided if I wanted to make it in media, and really pursue PR, I had to move to NYC. Once I settled on the east coast, it was all about the hustle and believing that you were just as good as everyone else knew themselves to be (I am still so drawn to the ubiquitous confidence that permeates the streets of that city). Soon after I moved into my first NYC apartment, I landed a job at a prominent beauty and fashion PR firm.
When did the idea of entrepreneurship enter the picture? Why did you decide to strike out on your own and start Covet Public Relations?
How I came to launch my own firm is too long of a story to tell, and best saved for a future tell-all memoir (kidding … kind of). Call it serendipity or perfect timing, but a few conversations and chance encounters convinced me to take a giant leap of faith, and set out on my own. With no concrete business plan and no partner, I had this gut feeling that there was a better way of servicing clients and delivering top-notch results, while also taking a more creative, non-traditional approach to building solid teams and attracting talent.
What makes Covet different from other PR firms?
Covet is unique in that we maintain a tight focus on what we know best – disruptive food, beverage and beauty brands in the health and wellness space. Our team is made up of foodies, fitness junkies, wellness aficionados and beauty buffs with diverse backgrounds and perspectives. Because we personally share many of the core values with the brands we have the honor of representing, we approach each task with a genuine passion that is palpable in every interaction.
What do you look for in an ideal Covet employee? Tell us how to wow you in an interview!
We are always looking for top talent in CPG PR, but we also look to add unique and valuable skill sets to our team. We have a former broadcast reporter, editor-in-chief and celebrity publicist on staff. To clarify, all three are different people! I firmly believe in finding the right talent, and then figuring out their title and role at the agency, as opposed to interviewing for a specific role and hoping to find a person I can squeeze into that pre-determined mold.
Aside from what's on paper, there are some qualities that can easily set someone apart from the crowd:
Show up on time!
Come prepared. Do your research, bring your resume and always spell check twice!
Make eye contact! I have interviewed a few people who couldn't make eye contact, and in an industry that is all about connections, relationships and effective communication, that is a deal breaker for me.
Show your personality! I want to get a feeling for who the person is, aside from what's found in their resume. What is their favorite website or blog? Who do they obsessively follow on social media and why? What do they do for fun? What challenges them outside of the workplace?
Are there any challenges that keep you awake at night?
I think one of the biggest challenges for any startup that has seen success out-of-the-gate is properly growing and scaling the business, and making sure it's done at a sustainable rate. Since I launched Covet, we have been lucky enough to have a relatively substantial client waiting list, including some brands that I have personally been dying to work with for years. As flattering as the opportunities can be, I will never take on any client unless I am 100% confident that we not only have a team in place to handle the work-load and deliver results, but that we also have the right team for the given client, regardless of their potential retainer size. I have had to say no to some amazing clients, because at the time, we were at full-capacity. If you are a client at Covet, you will always get the A-team working on your account, and you will also get served at the level promised. As a result, finding the right talent to grow the team, in order to allow us to take on more clients, has absolutely been the most challenging part of the business so far.
What does work/life balance mean to you? Do you find it a challenge?
Of course work/life balance is challenging when you have a career in PR with long hours and never-ending emails, but we try to maintain a work hard/play hard attitude. I make sure to take time to take care of myself, and also to take care of my team. I never want my staff to dread coming to work or feel burned out, so I've made it a priority to put programs into place to prevent either from happening. This year, we launched a wellness initiative that gets all employees out of the office and participating in fun monthly activities together to nurture our minds, bodies and spirits. This has become a favorite perk among the staff, in addition to having the best and healthiest office snacks imaginable, of course!
Was there ever a moment in your career where you've thought, "I made it!" What was it?
As cliché as this sounds, when I walk into the office and see everyone at their desks, excited to come into work each day, there is no better feeling of accomplishment.
What are three pieces of career advice you'd like to share with our readers?
If you want a job in PR, know your subject. The best way to do that is to become a voracious reader of new and traditional media. Read everything you can get your hands on for fun, content, trends and bylines.
Old-school manners can go a long away. Write a thank-you note after an interview, don't have your cell phone out when talking to a client, and always remain engaged and professional.
I always tell people that PR is like medicine. You could have a 5-year career in tech PR, but if you want to switch over to CPG, it's a whole new ballgame. Just like if a cardiologist wants to suddenly become an oncologist, it's not an easy or clear-cut transition. Like medicine, there are many subsets of public relations, so when you're interviewing for a PR job, don't take any old job just to get your foot in the door. Figure out what industry excites you, and don't stop searching until you get a position at a firm that specializes in that arena. I have had a few applicants apply for jobs at Covet that have great PR experience but none in the CPG space – switching gears in PR requires a new set of skills, new industry knowledge and, most important of all, new relationships.
Any last advice for readers who may say, "Hey! I want her job!"
Email us! We are always looking for creative, kind, intelligent and hustling spirits to join our Covet team.
Person I'd love to grab coffee with:
Warren Buffet.
You'll find these three things on my desk right now:
Pink Trident, a Lavenade Suja and a monitor that I never know how to properly work.
My go-to office outfit is:
Jeans, a simple t-shirt and heels.
You can find me lunching at:
My desk … I know. Sad, but true.
My family and friends. They keep me grounded and remind me there is more to life than just work!
My favorite way to unwind is:
A workout at Orange Theory Fitness or playing Jeopardy with my fiancé.
The end of a long workweek is coming to a close, and I know my team and I did excellent work and helped further the mission of our clients.
If you want a job in PR, know your subject.

Amy's in the break room when it starts. Hitchcock screams; a terrified shriek that will resound in her head for days.Half of Scully's body has disappeared, leaving some kind of grey powder in its place. The precinct bursts into chaos.
BROOKLYN 99 BELONGS TO NBC.
A fairytale world frozen in time. A mysterious curse. And a young woman who will save them all.
aka a Brooklyn Nine Nine Once Upon A Time AU.
A collection of B99 oneshots mostly featuring Raymond and Kevin.
"O Athena, Goddess of Warfare and Wisdom and Justice, on the eve of battle I beg you, give me strength, give me courage-"
At that moment a beautiful woman came in, clad in her finest bedsheets. "Greetings, mortal," she said, "I have come to hear your prayer."
Jake and Amy are inspired by Kevin's stories to roleplay in the realm of Ancient Myth.
Jake wakes up in the hospital with little memory of his life and no memory of how he got there. His friends from the Nine-Nine try helping him adjust to his life and find out what led to his injuries in the first place. Will Jake get his memory back in time to solve an important case? Is Jake still in danger from the man who put him in the hospital? If only Jake could remember.
Jake Peralta is a ten year old with scandalous origins beginning his training to become a knight under the strict mentorship of Sir Raymond Holt. Jake and his fellow oddball pages must overcome the prejudices of their fellows and superiors and a young princess with a well hidden wild side may or may not help matters.
The surviving members of the Nine-Nine try to figure out how to live without half of their loved ones.
Jake finds out that he's not the only little in the Holt-Cozner household.
Jake and Amy go on a date to a restaurant that Amy's excited to visit. In preparation, she decides to go without her usual protection in order to wear her favourite dress. However, this proves to be a mistake as she ends up in an uncomfortable situation - and Jake must help her and comfort her. Papa Holt makes an appearance, as usual, to make everything better. Fluffy little Peraltiago + Papa Holt fic for celestialskiff's birthday.
Warning: it's age play. Please read the tags and read at your own risk!
With perps to arrest, cases to be assigned and closed by Brooklyn's best, a wedding to plan, and other drama, the Nine-Nine is to undergo a lot of major turning points in one year. Some events will be laughable in a few years time, but some will cause the entire groups' lives forever.
Amy's kept her Little self a secret from Jake for a long time, but somewhere inside, she knew she couldn't keep it from him forever. But one night when she's asleep on her couch, trying to hide her bed-wetting from her partner, she's surprised to find out that she isn't the one disclosing her secret to Jake first - he's the one disclosing to her, and upon discovering that she's little, too, he isn't happy that she's kept things from him. He storms out, and Amy is left alone.
Confused and upset, Amy finds herself sneaking away for a midnight visit to Papa Holt's house, and finds out that she isn't Holt's only little one in the precinct.
Warning: As usual, this is an age play fic. Please read the tags and read at your own risk.
And thank you to everyone who keeps me going with comments, kudos, and prompts! I really do love writing these little stories, and it's really nice to know that others really love them, too. <3 Come say hi at alabasterclouds.tumblr.com!
Jake Peralta's a senior. At this point, school was less about doing well in class and more about trying to enjoy what's left of it. But how will he be able to enjoy himself when feelings start getting in the way of things?
Jake never wanted this, never wanted to be the Avatar, never wanted to have the whole world on his shoulder, but yet here he was legs wrapped tightly around the neck of a dragon.
Kevin is all, "Hey, man, I'm leaving for Paris," And I said, "Then go already. I don't care," but I do care, and now I'm like, "Where's Kevin?"
"Kevin and I are having a hard time right now. Whenever we talk, we fight. And I'm just afraid and just just afraid that if I go to Paris and we fight, then..."
gina linetti knew it was dangerous to get involved with rosa diaz.
but she couldn't help it.
"There was a small fire in my home. I lost many photo albums of treasured memories. I'm devastated."
Bored and alone in his apartment one night, Jake has an idea. From it, a tradition arises.
Jake and Kevin continue to watch movies together for a long, long time. Not all of them star Nic Cage.

America's leadership needed in global health
By Rep. Ami Bera (D-Calif.), Opinion Contributor — 09/13/17 09:00 AM EDT
The views expressed by contributors are their own and not the view of The Hill
View Latest Opinions >>
As a doctor, I believe the greatest symbol of American leadership is our investment in global health. Across the world, millions of people are healthier and safer because the United States has improved access to health care. We've led the charge in reshaping global health, including delivering care to more than 11 million people living with HIV, reducing malaria cases by one-third and controlling global pandemics like Ebola and Zika.
These investments have translated into historic gains. Access to maternal and child health care has risen; voluntary family planning is now available to millions; healthy timing and spacing of pregnancies has dramatically decreased mortality rates. Since 1990, there has been a 43 percent reduction in maternal deaths, and we have saved the lives of more than 100 million children under 5 years old. These are astounding numbers — due in large part to the leadership of the United States.
But that progress is now under threat. In April, the State Department announced it was immediately cutting off funding to United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA). This is a major setback to American efforts to help the world's most vulnerable populations. In 2016, UNFPA received $69 million in funding from the United States. That money supported safe delivery services, family planning and counseling, and programs to combat gender-based violence. The lifesaving care provided by UNFPA goes directly to helping women and girls around the world, and I've seen their work firsthand.
In July, I traveled to Jordan with CARE, a leading humanitarian organization that fights poverty in the world's poorest communities, and I saw the profound impact of American investments in global health. More than 80,000 refugees currently live in Zaatari Refugee Camp — many of them women and girls. Here, UNFPA works with local nongovernmental organizations to provide quality maternal health care and educational services. Thanks to American leadership and funding, more than 7,500 healthy babies have been delivered at the maternity clinic without a single maternal death.
Touring the refugee camp, I was very impressed with the quality of care UNFPA provides, but I was also incredibly proud. When you walk into this small clinic, the American flag stands proud and strong on many of the clinic's walls. That flag is a symbol of strength and hope for thousands of women who enter the clinic in need of better care for themselves and their children.
I met a 28-year-old woman, Dua'a, who fled Syria with her family after the civil war started in 2011. Dua'a was married at the age of 14 and had no access to reproductive health services until she came to the camp. She experienced 10 miscarriages before receiving the care she needed. Just days before our arrival, she gave birth to a beautiful baby girl, but her fate could have been very different if not for the U.N. clinic.
In the coming weeks, the House of Representatives will vote on government funding. The United Nations Population Fund and its partners like CARE are critical in our fight to build a healthier world. I am urging my Democratic and Republican colleagues to fund America's vital investments in global health. In Zaatari Refugee Camp, it's a matter of life or death. Eight to 10 newborn babies are safely delivered at the maternity clinic every day, but their future is at risk.
Dua'a is one of countless success stories demonstrating America's leadership abroad. Given the amazing progress the United States has made in improving global health, we can't afford to back down. The world needs America to lead. The women and children at Zaatari Refugee Camp — and millions more — are counting on us.

Ms. S's husband died of issues unrelated to an accident. Ms. S made a claim on her husband's life insurance for the death benefits. The insurance company denied the claim, stating that Ms. S's husband had not disclosed a preexisting condition from his service in the armed forces.
As a result of the denial, Ms. S filed a lawsuit for bad faith against the life insurance company. Throughout the litigation, Ms. S's attorneys were able to show that her husband had not failed to disclose a preexisting condition. As a result, Ms. S received the full death benefit plus interest.

Q: Parsely.js override default validation messages Does anyone here know how you can override validation messages during setup.
I would like to be able to during setup $('form').parsley() to change/define validation messages messages for lets say:
data-parsley-required-message ="some relevant custom message"
I want this to be assigned to all validations so if the field is set to required it will display the custom message as default.
Thanks in advance 8-)
A: Look in the documentation for window.ParsleyUI.updateError(parsleyInstance, name, message);.
This is assuming version 2, if you are still on 1.X let me know and I will amend the answer.

Well, it has happened. I am now the mother of a 6 year old. Crazy, I know! Shortly after Big D busted through her birthday door, it was time to get down to business. Birthday cake.
Big D has been OBSESSED with the Magic Tree House book series. Every night, Daddy reads to the girls, taking them on many fun adventures.
So there was no doubt in my mind, when I asked Big D, what she wanted for her birthday, she would a request a Magic Tree House Birthday Cake. I'm not going to lie, the thought of building a tree house birthday cake freaked me out a bit. How the heck was I going to pull this one off?
After the panic passed, the light bulb turned on! I could use a cake stand for the tree house.
All I had to do was cover the base with fondant, and stack a couple square cakes on the top. BOOM! We have a Magic Tree House!
Need a fondant recipe? HERE is the SUPER easy one I use!
What do you think this little lady wished for?
Jack and Annie Dolls of course!
The author is very insistent that children use their imaginations, and that toys and movies would take away the magic.
Well, lucky for Big D, she has a VERY crafty Grandma! Best present EVER!
Happy birthday to my amazing child. I love you more than words!
So I must ask. How many Magic Tree House fans do I have out there?
Get your self some Magic Tree House!!!!
Oh my goodness, we LOVE the Magic Tree House series!! Your Big D introduced it to my Big I 🙂 We've been hooked ever since!! I might be copying this idea or better yet having you over for a create the cake day at my house closer to July!! Any chance that grandma would like to make another set for Big I 😉 Great idea girl!
Hehehe. You are so funny 🙂 I know! I told Grandma she should start selling those dolls.
would she consider making the dolls for others? my daughter is five and we've been reading these books since last spring – it will prob be her 6th birthday party idea as well!!! let me know if she is interested in making more dolls!!!
WOW!!!! The cake is outstanding, but check out those dolls!!! Girlie and I are huge MTH fans and we are now on book #44. We even did a MTH bento (a few of them actually!) http://rachelsrandom.com/2013/01/emperor-penguin-easylunchboxes-magic-tree-house-bento/. Big D is a super lucky kid! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
I would love to have the dolls for my classroom. My students would love them. They are so cute!!!
Would grandma consider making my class a set of dolls?
Hi there, Thanks for the great ideas for a MTH cake. We will be celebrating our 8 year old's party the end of August. I would love to order those dolls if your grandmother is taking orders. Please let me know. Thanks!

#Effects#Multi-effects
Eventide H9 Max review
The ultimate stompbox now has a Max version with loads of extra sounds… including distortion.
Does this look familiar? Back in June 2014, we reviewed a little white box called the Eventide H9, which blew us across the room with its studio-quality delays, reverbs and pitch-shifting effects. What we're looking at here is, in fact, an identical enclosure; but the addition of the word `Max' denotes a whole new level of sonic potential on the inside – including access to Eventide's new distortion algorithm, CrushStation. And, yes, it also alludes to a recommended retail price that can be described only as spectacular.
Bear in mind, though, that this is very far from being an ordinary stomper. Eventide has been making pro studio processors for 40 years, and the bloodline of the H9 series traces right back to the original H910 Harmonizer, one of the very first devices to offer digital pitch manipulation. A more obvious link is to the current TimeFactor, ModFactor, PitchFactor and Space units, Eventide's first forays into floor-dwelling effects.
The standard H9 (£479) takes eight of its nine algorithms from those pedals, the ninth being an UltraTap delay that isn't found anywhere else; the H9 Core is a cheaper option at £359, which comes with just pitch and delay effects. Both of these can be upgraded with additional algorithms at $19.99 each, thanks to the magic of the internet, but the simplest and most satisfying solution – assuming that you're not concerned by such minor trivialities as cost – is surely to cut straight to the Max version.
This doesn't, in fact, come loaded with anything new, but once you've downloaded the free H9 Control software and paired it up with the pedal via Bluetooth, USB or MIDI, it gives you unlimited access to every effect in the Eventide stompbox armoury – including those it hasn't even yet thought of.
We counted 46 of them: 10 each from the TimeFactor, ModFactor and PitchFactor, 12 from the Space, and four H9 exclusives. We've already mentioned two of these, CrushStation and UltraTap; the others are Resonator, offering spookily filtered delays, and a self-explanatory twin effect called simply EQ Compressor.
Each algorithm comes with a whole bunch of presets to play around with – look out for Transcendental Dolphin, worth it for the name alone – and the pedal has room to store 99 of these. You can tweak your tones with H9 Control or, if you don't mind the fiddliness of navigating through menus on the little screen with double button presses, can access every parameter on the unit itself.
This might be necessary if you're separated from your computer or iPad, but we'll be honest, it's no fun at all. Still, the tap footswitch can be used for toggling through presets, so have them all cued up beforehand and it is possible to get through a gig or recording session using only your dancing toes.
Reviewers are not paid to be sensible, so we begin with the usual process of plugging straight in (manual, what manual?) and zipping through the factory presets to see just how zany this thing can get. The answer is very zany indeed, but we won't dwell too long here because these are the same sounds we heard from the original H9 last year.
The two key points to reiterate are that the audio quality is consistently fantastic – there's a pristine clarity at the heart of everything this unit does – and that the scope for creativity is almost overwhelming.
There are tape-style delays, amp-style reverbs and 80s-style chorus sounds, but it's the more extreme effects that really mark this out as a special piece of kit. The pitch algorithms can be used to create layered harmonies and arpeggios, while the swelling reverbs and heavily modulated delays conjure up atmospheres that you might not have thought possible from a guitar. Well done for blowing us across the room again, Eventideº but now let's talk about the new bits.
This is where it all so nearly went badly wrong. Our review unit did not come with a mini USB cable and the one we dug out from a drawer didn't seem to work, while establishing a Bluetooth connection with a MacBook proved impossible. Frustration peaked and the H9 Max was grumpily stuffed back into its box, ready to be thrown off the nearest tall building.
But then everything changed: a working cable appeared, and meanwhile Eventide's UK distributors supplied us with the login details for this specific unit so we could unlock the Bluetooth (you'll need to set up your own account). The lights came on and all was forgiven.
Once you're in, H9 Control is a tidy piece of software with a simple interface that makes selecting and editing presets a doddle. The only slight annoyance is that, when you want to save a new sound to the pedal, the dropdown menu gives you only a list of numbers from 1 to 99, with no indication of which ones might already be occupied. It's quick, though, and the on-screen knobs are just as responsive as physical controls.
We'll focus on the CrushStation algorithm, because this is the effect that marks a bit of a departure for Eventide. Is it reckless for a specialist in digital manipulation to dabble in the hairy-backside stuff? Well, maybe not. Most of the presets are on the heavy side, and they score highly for fat, beefy impact; pull the gain down into Tube Screamer territory and things start to sound just a wee bit less natural, but that's to be expected – and anyway, you already have a pedal for that, right?
here are some interesting variables beyond the obvious EQ and gain controls, most notably `octave' for Octavia-style textures, `sag' for simulating lo-fi voltage starvation, and `sustain' for adding thickness either before or after the distortion. All of these work fiendishly well and help to ensure CrushStation is adding genuine value to the H9 offering – there are sounds available here that you definitely don't already have a pedal for.
The extra delays and reverbs are every bit as mindblowing as the ones that are available to standard H9 owners, and it pays to experiment with two amps in stereo. It's just a shame you can't create `whole pedalboard' presets using several effects daisy-chained together.
At its heart, perhaps, this is still more of a studio processor than a gigging tool; for many players it might even have made more sense in rackmount format, with a nice big screen and lots of knobs for hours of easy tweaking without a laptop or tablet in sight.

There's not a lot of competition in the compact one-at-a-time multi-effects market, with Eventide's most obvious competitor in the delay and reverb stakes, Strymon, keeping its effects such as the TimeLine and BigSky individual. But here are a few alternatives to check out…
Zoom MS-50G – £99
Zoom's latest MultiStomp unit crams 55 custom guitar effects and amp models, plus a chromatic tuner, into a stompbox-sized enclosure for a retail price as low as £69. In addition to all the usual effects types, you get emulations of amps from the likes of Fender, Marshall, Vox, Two Rock, Diezel and ENGL.
Line 6 M5 – £169
Although its now been superseded by the larger, more advanced M9, the M5 is a great place to start in the world of multi-effects, offering a wealth of reverb, delay, modulation, distortion and overdrive effects at frankly ridiculous street prices as low as £72.
TC Electronic Nova – £246
While the Nova is larger than the other selections here, it offers a vast range of effects in six blocks, and can be found online for a very attractive £140. It incorporates TC's innovative G-System and Nova Drive technology, with a fully analogue drive and overdrive section.

I should have kept off the computer today and been resting my arm but I got a bit carried away with this little project in Publisher. It's one prototype. I shall need to do something bolder as an alternative. Tomorrow I'll mock something up in PSP.
If it's too small to read: it is a flyer to promote the Sanday Spinners' new Introduction to Spinning course. We are selling the island idyll concept (I hope.) A joint effort between the spinners and the island's accommodation providers, we hope that it will be a successful venture for all concerned.
The Sanday Spinners' website is coming along nicely too. Should be ready for launch soon. We are attempting to get a shift on with it on Saturday evening. The PayPal account is ready to go but there is a large job to be done in uploading stock, descriptions, and photos.
Oh, and a small matter of getting some spinning done, of course!
And now I am going to switch off and do something less stupid instead.

When a license, agreement, or contract is suspended, the length of the suspension must be reported. In addition, federal licensing and certification agencies must report any revisions to a previously reported licensing or certification action, such as a reinstatement of a suspended license, and whether an action is on appeal. For more information, go to Types of Reports in this chapter.
Table E-12 outlines reporting obligations for federal licensure and certification actions.
* This information is reported under Title IV based on a federal memorandum of understanding.
In the NPDB regulations, the term "certification" has two distinct meanings. First, the term is related to licensure, because licensure includes certification and other forms of authorization to provide health care services. This term can apply to agencies that "license," "certify," or "register" certain types of health care practitioners, entities, providers, or suppliers.
Second, the term "certification" also is used to refer to certification of a health care practitioner, provider, or supplier to participate in a government health care program. In this context, certification includes certification agreements and contracts for participation in a government health care program.
Federal licensing and certification agencies must report to the NPDB all money penalties and administrative fines that are formal or official actions (e.g., formal disciplinary actions) against health care practitioners, providers, or suppliers.
Generally, each reporting entity determines whether its action is connected to the delivery of health care services.
Publicly available information means that information is accessible to the interested public. This can occur in a variety of ways, including, but not limited to, phone, writing, electronic media (e.g., website or portal), or other media available for general distribution to any member of the public.
A licensure or certification action imposed with a stay should not be reported to the NPDB as long as the entire action is stayed. When only part of the action is stayed, the part of the action that is not stayed must be reported. In addition, if a stayed action is accompanied by another reportable action, the reportable action that accompanied the stayed action must be reported.
Federal licensing and certification agencies must report to the NPDB denials of initial and renewal applications for licensure or certification for health care practitioners, providers, or suppliers if the denials are formal or official final adverse actions. For example, if a federal licensing agency takes a final action to deny a practitioner's initial licensure application because the practitioner misrepresented information on the application, that action is reportable.
Federal licensing or certification agencies should not report cases in which the agency denies the licensure or certification only because a health care practitioner, provider, or supplier does not meet the threshold criteria for licensure or certification.
Investigations should not be reported to the NPDB. However, withdrawal of a renewal application for licensure or certification, while the federal licensure or certification authority is investigating the applicant, is reportable. In addition, an applicant's withdrawal, for any reason, of an initial application for licensure or certification is not reportable, even if the applicant is under investigation.
The NPDB interprets the word "investigation" expansively, although the investigation must be focused on a specific individual or entity. For example, if a federal licensing board routinely runs a criminal background check on all applicants for license renewal, that is not considered an investigation. If, as a result of the routine check, the board decides to further examine a specific applicant's record, that examination is considered an investigation. The NPDB retains the ultimate authority to determine whether an investigation exists.
The NPDB considers an investigation to run from the start of an inquiry until a final decision is reached. In other words, an investigation is not limited to a federal licensure or certification authority's gathering of facts or by the manner in which the federal licensing or certification authority defines the term "investigation." An investigation begins as soon as the federal licensure or certification authority begins a nonroutine inquiry and does not end until the authority's decision-making body takes a final action or makes a decision not to further pursue the matter.
The voluntary relinquishment of a license for personal reasons such as retirement or illness is not reportable to the NPDB if no other action or investigation is in progress.
Federal licensing and certification agencies are required to report voluntary surrenders of a license, certification agreement, or contract for participation in a government health care program by a health care practitioner, provider, or supplier. NPDB regulations define a voluntary surrender of a license or certification as "a surrender made after a notification of investigation or a formal official request by a federal or state licensing or certification authority for a health care practitioner, health care entity, provider, or supplier to surrender the license or certification (including certification agreements or contracts for participation in federal or state health care programs). The definition also includes those instances where a health care practitioner, health care entity, provider, or supplier voluntarily surrenders a license or certification (including program participation agreements or contracts) in exchange for a decision by the licensing or certification authority to cease an investigation or similar proceeding, or in return for not conducting an investigation or proceeding, or in lieu of a disciplinary action."
The voluntary relinquishment of a license for personal reasons such as retirement or illness is not reportable to the NPDB if no other action or investigation is in progress. Only the surrender of the license while under investigation, or in return for not conducting an investigation, is reportable.
If a licensure or certification action is taken and the practitioner enters a treatment or rehabilitation program as a result, the adverse action must be reported. This is true even if the treatment is a condition of probation. However, the fact that the health care practitioner entered a drug or alcohol treatment facility should not be reported.
If a health care practitioner (or other reportable individual) voluntarily enters a treatment or rehabilitation program at the direction or suggestion of a licensing or certification agency, a report should not be submitted to the NPDB.
Table E-13 provides guidance on when federal licensure or certification actions must be reported to the NPDB. Table E-14 describes which reporting format should be used for reports on federal licensure and certification actions.

Software as a Service, often abbreviated as SaaS, is also referred to as Software on Demand. SaaS auctions software by Auction-Experts is actually software offered as an online service. You don't need to purchase the software. Instead, you enter into a contract for the use of Auction-Experts as a service, in combination with your own design and your additional requirements. We take care of installation, maintenance and management.
We use Cloud services, among others. The software and data can be completely tailored to the location of your bidders, so that your auction can be quickly and easily accessed, anywhere in the world. The location can be set manually, or it can be set in an automated manner right away.
Your auction is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 52 weeks a year. By combining our own server park with Microsoft's cloud services (Azure), we are able to quickly add server capacity. This may be necessary when you organize an auction with exceptionally many visitors. During such an auction the capacity is increased, and afterwards it is down scaled to your standard capacity. Up- and down scaling is done per calendar month. It is a good idea to take this into account in your planning.

Sometimes the question is asked why you would need a water storage tank when you have access to running water. Allow us to explain.
There are many different reasons why either a business or home would make use of a water storage tank. All of the different uses boil down to one main aspect – money.
While most homes in the UK have access to running water, it is not free and can cost a household or business dearly, depending on the amount of water that is used on a daily basis.
Relying on tap water all day, every day, is not a sustainable way of living, especially if you constantly use water to help with growing crops on any agricultural land. Depending on the size of the farmland, type of soil and crops growing, it can take as much as 40,000 litres of water to irrigate one acre of land.
No matter where you are in the country, the daily costs would be monumental and do not make financial sense when it is possible to invest in a water tank to use as a viable storage unit.
Household users invest in water storage tanks for both their home and garden – this will mean investing in a potable tank, capable of storing water suitable for drinking and washing with.
Storage tanks can be used to keep a wide range of liquids that households will have a use for.
Our storage tanks can not only help any household cut back on the cost of water, but they can also double up as an efficient means of storing fuel for any car or other vehicles without having to head to the nearest fuel station. Storing your own fuel also means that you do not fall victim to the ever-increasing prices of petrol and diesel, saving you money in the long-run.
One of the more popular uses for water storage tanks is to harvest rainwater, especially for those that are keen gardeners. This is because that, not only harvesting rainwater is cheaper than using tap water, but using the planet's natural elements is far better for plans.
With the absence of added chemicals that can do more harm than good, you will see your plants grow more radiantly than before.
For more information on why you should invest in a water storage tank, please call the Tuffa Tank team on 01889 567700 today or fill out an enquiry form.

The health danger doesn't end with the flames.
A doctor in rural Victoria is urging people to remember that woodsmoke is "highly toxic" and you should take necessary precautions to avoid inhalation.
The particles in wood smoke can affect your eyes and respiratory system, potentially causing bronchitis, trigger asthma attacks and in serious cases strokes, irregular heart rhythms and heart failure.
If you are in a danger area, you should stay indoors and wear a face mask or respirator outside if possible.
EPA Victoria has issued an air quality warning for the La Trobe Valley, but Melbourne is deemed to be relatively safe.
GOOD to FAIR air quality is expected in Melbourne, and POOR to VERY POOR air quality is expected in Latrobe Valley.

Home » Racing » Sergio Perez tweet reveals how Red Bull door opened? | F1 News by PlanetF1
With Sergio Perez confirmed as a Red Bull driver for 2021, a tweet from the Mexican racer may just have hinted how that door opened.
Red Bull are known for a heavy reliance on their junior driver programme, headed by Dr Helmut Marko.
And over the years it has served Red Bull very well indeed, producing the likes of Sebastian Vettel, Daniel Ricciardo and Max Verstappen who have all gone on to establish themselves as key figures in Formula 1.
Recently, though, the Red Bull pond has dried up somewhat. For 2019, the team were forced to recall Alex Albon and Daniil Kvyat to the set-up to fill the seats at Toro Rosso, while their brightest prospect Pierre Gasly struggled to compete with Verstappen after making the step up to Red Bull that year.
Halfway through the 2019 season he was replaced by Albon, but after the London-born Thai failed to prove any sort of upgrade he was demoted to reserve driver for 2021.
At this stage, the talent pool was looking very dry. Consistently, the team had ruled out a Gasly return with the Frenchman remaining at AlphaTauri, while his 2021 team-mate Yuki Tsunoda, despite his potential, was not ready for a Red Bull seat in his first season of Formula 1.
So when Perez was announced as a Red Bull driver for 2021, as an 'outsider', it raised a few eyebrows regarding the health of Red Bull's driver programme.
However, as it turns out, Perez can be considered somewhat of an extended family member for Red Bull.
After nearly 12 years we will work together again, mate. Thank You Christian Horner for this great opportunity.
Helmut Marko, I'm very happy and thankful for the confidence placed in me, I'm going to work very hard to help this team to bring one more Championship #givesyouwings👐 pic.twitter.com/j2cJarBLon
— Sergio Pérez (@SChecoPerez) December 19, 2020
Back in 2009, Perez signed with Arden for the GP2 season, the team owned and run by current Red Bull team principal Christian Horner.
Perez did not quite set the standings alight that year, finishing on the podium only twice, although he did end up two points ahead of his team-mate for the season, Edoardo Mortara.
While he would switch teams for the following season, it is clear Perez's relationship with Horner remained very much intact – or could even be called a friendship since Perez referred to Horner as "mate" in the above tweet.
That may go some way to explaining why Red Bull chose Perez when they looked outside of their programme for 2021 – combined, of course, with the fact Perez finished inside the points at every race he contested for Racing Point in 2020, minus Bahrain and Abu Dhabi where it was the RP20 that failed on him.
Perez has signed an initial one-year deal with Red Bull and the pressure will be on from the start to produce a similar performance level to that of Verstappen, while it will also be interesting to see whether or not Perez will be willing to play the team game.

Is your child at risk due to their car seat?
By Cheryl Abrahams
I know I'm not alone in finding car seats baffling. Not only are there so many types to choose from, but fitting them can also be a nightmare. They remind me of a task on the Krypton Factor (I know I'm showing my age!).
The consumer service Which? surveyed over 2,000 parents, in February 2014 and found that many are uncertain about the laws and regulations surrounding the use of child car seats.
While the number of eligible children not using the correct car seat has fallen from 17% in 2010 to just 5% in the most recent poll, there is still a great deal of confusion amongst parents about how and what type of car seats should be used.
The survey also revealed rather worryingly, that 80% of child car seats are not fitted properly and only 6% of parents had received advice about fitting the car seat from the retailer. The majority of parents surveyed (9 out of 10) admitted that they had experienced problems fitting the car seat.
Child safety week
It's Child Safety Week this week (23 – 29 June 2014) which is an annual campaign by the Child Accident Prevention Trust to raise awareness of the risks of child accidents and how they can be prevented. This year, they are focusing on the accidents that are more likely to happen during the morning rush which got me thinking about the mad dash to get the kids to school or nursery and the risks of serious injury associated with a child being in an inappropriate car seat or a car seat which isn't fitted correctly.
Consequences of using an inappropriate seat
The very sad case of Hughes v Williams & Williams [2012] EWCH 1078 is a timely reminder to parents during child safety week, of the importance of placing children in the correct car seat.
This case involves Emma Hughes, a 3 year old girl who suffered devastating brain and spinal cord injuries in a road traffic accident. Her mother was found to be partially to blame for her injuries, not because of her driving, which was said to be faultless, but because she had placed Emma in an inappropriate car seat.
On the day of the accident Emma's mother placed Emma in a Graco booster seat in the back of her car, and secured her with an adult seat belt.
She had also fitted a Mamas & Papas "Pro Tech" five point harness child car seat in the car which had a solid back.
She felt that Emma wasn't comfortable in the full car seat, whereas she looked comfortable and secure in the booster seat. Emma was described as a "chunky" child and her mother found it difficult to lift and manoeuvre her into the car seat.
The defendant was speeding and lost control of his vehicle which was travelling in the opposite direction and swerved into the path of the car carrying Emma and her mother.
Liability was admitted by the defendant's insurers; however they maintained that Emma's mother was partly to blame for the accident for failing to place Emma in the correct car seat for her age, weight and height.
The booster seat came with detailed instructions which made it clear that it was suitable for children aged approximately 4-10 years old, weighing between 15-36kg and 101-145cm in height. Emma weighed 15kg was 93cm tall and was 3 years and 2 months old at the time of the accident, therefore she only just met the weight criteria but did not meet the height or age requirements. She met all of the requirements for the five point harness child car seat.
Emma's mother admitted she had read the instructions that came with the booster seat, including the statement that the booster seat should only be used if the child met all requirements. She had also carried out her own research by observing the use of car seats by other parents and the nursery school which Emma attended.
Expert evidence in the case showed that had Emma been placed in the five point harness seat, instead of the booster seat, her injuries would have been far less serious, for example the spinal cord injury would have been avoided and there would have been a reduced risk of the brain injury.
Black LJ in the Court of Appeal said Emma's mother was:
"an excellent and caring mother whose daughter's safety was naturally of paramount importance to her. There were no doubt other similarly caring parents who would have done as she did."
Nevertheless Emma's mother was found to be negligent for placing Emma in the booster seat which was deemed inappropriate for Emma and she was held to be 25% to blame for Emma's injuries.
The court considered, the case of Jones v Wilkins [2001] R.T.R 19 where a two year old child was seated on her mother's lap with only a lap belt restraining her when the defendant collided with the vehicle causing the child to suffer paraplegia.
In that case, the well respected seat belt expert, Dr Rattenbury gave evidence at the trial. He said the use of the lap belt was worse than the child having no seat belt at all and this actually contributed to the seriousness of her injuries. He accepted that:
"ordinary members of the public do not understand how dangerous such an action is."
The Court of Appeal decided that although the blame to be attached to the mother was limited by her lack of understanding of the risk, she remained 25% liable for her daughter's injuries.
It is clear that a parent owes a duty of care to their child to take reasonable steps to ensure that the child is properly restrained when travelling in a car, but how can a parent be sure that their choice of restraint is appropriate and will fully protect their child from suffering serious injury should an accident happen?
The law requires all children travelling in the front or rear seat of any car, van or goods vehicle must use the correct child car seat until they are either 135 cm in height or 12 years old (which ever they reach first). After this they must use an adult seat belt. There are very few exceptions.
It is the driver's responsibility to ensure that children under the age of 14 years are restrained correctly in accordance with the law.
Types of car seat
There are many different types of car seat available, so it's not surprising that parents may be confused about what seat is the most appropriate for their child.
They are divided into categories, according to weight of the child. these correspond broadly to different age groups, but it is the weight of the child that is most important when deciding what type of child seat to use:
Conform to the UN standard, ECE Regulation 44.04 or R 44.03 or tothe new I-size regulation (see below)
Be suitable for the child's weight and size
Not be placed in the front passenger seat if there is an active passenger airbag
Be correctly fitted according to the manufacturer's instructions
The table below sets out this information in a handy table which I have taken from the ROSPA website.
New regulations
Fortunately the challenges of ensuring that the car seat is fitted correctly should become a thing of the past due to i-size which is the name of a new EU safety regulation for child car seats (ECE R129).
Under the existing laws, parents could switch their baby from their rear-facing Group 0/0+ seat into a forward-facing one when they reached 9kg – (around nine months old). When the new regulations, come fully into force, parents will have to keep their baby in a rear-facing seat until they are 15 months. The move will be based on a baby's length/child's height not weight.
i-size was introduced in July 2013 in order to make child car seats easier to fit, provide better protection from side impacts and keep children rearward-facing for longer. i-size only applies to Isofix seats.
If you have a relatively new car, it's likely to have Isofix mounting points. This is the standard system for all new cars and seat manufacturers, designed to make installing your child safety seat quick and easy as you simply 'plug in' a compatible car safety seat to mounting points in the car. Here is an image of an example of Isofix anchor points.
This regulation has been adopted by the EU, and UK legislation is currently being amended to adopt it into UK law. Once UK legislation has been amended, i-size will run side by side with the existing R44.04 standard until approximately 2018. Parents will be able to buy and use child car seats that meet R44.04, and which are fitted with seat belts or Isofix, or use i-size seats instead. The new regulations will be phased in over five years, running in parallel with the old regulations for some time. They will only apply to Isofix seats sold and belted ones will not be covered by the new rules.
It's obviously absolutely devastating for any parent whose child suffers life changing injuries, but it's beyond comprehension as to how it must feel to be held partly responsible for those injuries. I'm hopeful that the new regulations will make it much easier for parents to choose the correct car seat for their child and to fit it properly to ensure their child has the maximum possible protection from serious injury in the event of a road accident.

Q: How do I calculate a change in value from a 2D Array? I'm working on a project that uses a 2D array. The inside (anything that isn't on the edge of the array) of the array has each cell averaging out based on the four values touching it. The values are supposed to keep updating until the change in value (new array value - previous value in array) is less than a number input by the user called epsilon. This change in value has to be less than epsilon for each and every index. So how would I go about checking each change in index value to epsilon? I was thinking about storing the change in a new array and checking each index to epsilon but the way I implemented it didn't work. You can ignore the tempChange array I didn't remove it incase someone wanted to build off of what I wrote. Here is my code:
void determineInteriorTemp(double tempArr[26][30], int rowArr, int colArr, double epsilon)
{
int iteration = 0;
double tempChange[26][30] = { 300 };
for (int x = 1; x < rowArr - 1; x++)
{
for (int y = 1; y < colArr - 1; y++)
{
while (tempChange[x][y] > epsilon)
{
tempArr[x][y] = (tempArr[x - 1][y] + tempArr[x + 1][y] + tempArr[x][y + 1] + tempArr[x][y - 1]) / 4; //update
tempChange[0][0] = tempArr[x][y] - tempChange[x][y];
}
}
}
iteration++;
}

The CMYK color format or color space builds the colors from a combination of cyan, magenta, yellow and black. While computer screens use RGB, CMYK is the standard color model in offset printing.
The values for cyan, magenta, yellow and black are usually in percent, and a higher percentage represents are darker value. Some use values of 0 - 100% and some integers from 0 to 1 to describe a CMYK color.
CMYK is not yet supported in CSS, but it is suggested as a new standard in CSS4. In CSS4 it will be possible to use CMYK colors in the following format cmyk(C%, M%, Y%, K%);.

I don't know when it happened, but Rachel is seriously starting to get on my nerves. I don't know when it went from being understanding about her state of life to annoying the hell out of me.
I've been thinking about it and wondering what exactly is it that annoys me to such an extent. I believe it's the fact that as a former IS runner she ought to have developed a good shield against her own naiveté. And after the stuff she went through from the beginning of the series, I know she should have grown as a person. And not get sidetracked in her mind by good looking guys. Yes, she's in her 20s but she is not a child and she deals with life-threatening situations all the time.
And then when it suits Ms Harrison, Rachel is suddenly a smart runner seeing and figuring out everything. It doesn't work like that. Either she's smart and gets things or she's naive and it takes her forever to figure out the motivation behind people.
I just can't figure out what kind of character she is supposed to be and I no longer have much tolerance for it.
That said – the story actually held me to the end even though it was rather obvious from the beginning what Trent was doing. I guess that wasn't supposed to be the thrilling part we wouldn't guess – the Rachel part took that over. And here I really couldn't even begin to fathom what might happen.
But the whole experience was punctuated by my rising frustration with Rachel. She would fit quite well with all the YA novels I read, the only problem being, she is actually an adult.
So before you all go away from this thinking I hate the Rachel Morgan series, I finished the book and started with the next one (which is also annoying the hell out of me but not as much).
I sincerely hope Rachel becomes a more homogenous character in the future – otherwise I will probably tear a page in frustration at some point – the horror!

Jonica T. Gibbs Bio, Wiki
Jonica T. Gibbs is an American actress and comedian best known for Good Trouble (2019), Bro/Science/Life: The Series (2017), and The Neighborhood (2014).
She attended the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where she studied journalism. After graduating from college she bounced around the mid-Atlantic and the South, holding down jobs in Washington, D.C.; crashing on a friend's couch in Savannah, Georgia, and eventually landing in Los Angeles where she is now based. "I initially went to L.A. for acting, but it was like, In the meantime, I'm gonna do stand-up," She said. "I still do stand-up, but it was my way of creating space for myself. And I'm finally, finally doing what I want to do."
When she moved out west, Gibbs and her best friend started their own production company and made a web series. As part of the project, the two sent out goodie bags to a handful of black creatives and executives around town. Waithe was one of them and after a few DMs back and forth, he and Gibbs got to talking about the showrunner's next project. Waithe asked Jonica "Jojo" T. Gibbs if she would like to audition for Twenties.
Jonica T. Gibbs Twenties
Gibbs is playing a role as Hattie on Lena Waithe's BET Series 'Twenties.' The comedy follows the adventures of a young, black, queer woman and her two straight friends struggling to make it in Hollywood. Hattie is flanked by her best friends, Nia (Gabrielle Graham), the woo-woo yoga teacher, and aspiring actress, and Marie (Christina Elmore), the film executive who's got herself together, or so it would appear.
Jonica T. Gibbs Age
Gibbs was born in South Carolina and grew up with her great-grandparents in Hampstead, North Carolina. Her age is not known and it is also not known when she celebrates her birthday.

This complex hybrid is an improvement over 'Fantasia' in flower and habit. Huge 8-9in, mauve lavender blossoms with a deep strawberry red eye have attractively ruffled, overlapping petals. They are produced on all sides of the dense, bushy, rounded clump of thick, bright green, maple-like leaves. This Hibiscus is a very floriferous indeterminate bloomer, so there are buds at many nodes up the stems rather than just at the tips. The result is a much longer season of bloom and flowers that cover all sides of the plant rather than just the top. 'Berrylicious' makes a fantastic large specimen plant that will steal the show from mid through late summer.

Happy Halloween! Ok there are so many opinions on Halloween and how Catholics shouldn't support an event that promotes demons, ghouls and the undead. I agree with them, but we join for the fun, the camaraderie and for the candy.
We make it a point to choose the costumes and not have any of the evil ones. This year I was Robin Hood and Des was a Filipina (last minute kasi!). And the kids were: a painter, a make-up artist, a ninja, a dinosaur and Snow White.
It was the first big event in our village, and the kids were so excited to finally meet other kids from the village. And that's what it is about for us: making new friends and having a lot of fun. It does not have to be scary. We have been here almost a year, and now the kids know the other kids (and there are a lot of other big families in this village too!).
What a fun afternoon (and for me, hanging out with the other dads until the evening *gulp *gulp), and good fun for everyone. Halloween can be less undead and more candy 🙂 Thanks for the great time!

'Chip in for Jim' seeks to help longtime area resident afflicted with ALS
Friday's 'Chip in for Jim" brought out several hundred people to raise money for Jim McFarland in his fight against ALS. Top Lef: the helicopter drop of golf balls onto Woods Valley Golf Club course in Valley Center. You may have to look closely to see them. The balls were numbered and the purchaser of the ball closest to the pin was eligible to win up to $5,000.
McFarland, a 20-year resident of VC, said he was "awed" and "amazed"
by the support given to him at this sell-out event. It's difficult to estimate
Attendees gather to watch for the helicopter.

HP's new CEO, Meg Whitman, will receive $1 a year in salary. But she's eligible for stock awards and bonuses -- plus she's a self-made billionaire.
NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- Hewlett-Packard's new CEO, Meg Whitman, will receive an annual salary of $1. Meanwhile, her ousted predecessor, Léo Apotheker, is walking out the door with nearly $10 million cash in severance and bonuses.
But don't feel too sorry for Whitman: She's eligible for millions in cash bonuses and stock options, according to HP's regulatory filing late Thursday.
Whitman's target bonus for HP's 2012 fiscal year is $2.4 million, and she could get as much as $6 million if the company hits certain performance goals.
Her contract also includes an option to purchase 1.9 million shares of HP (HPQ, Fortune 500) stock, which fully vest if she's at HP for three years. The exercise price on the options is $23.59, HP's closing share price on Sept. 27, the date Whitman's stock grant took effect.
That means Whitman's HP stock options will only be profitable if the company's share price goes up -- and the shares will only fully vest if HP's share price rises by at least 40%.
Her contract includes no special severance benefits if she is ousted beyond a lump-sum payment of 1.5 times her annual salary. That would net Whitman a grand total of $1.50.
Whitman -- No.9 on Fortune's latest list of the Most Powerful Women in business -- is already an extremely wealthy woman. According to Forbes, she's one of only five female self-made billionaires in the world and currently has a net worth of $1.3 billion, thanks to her time at the helm of eBay (EBAY, Fortune 500).
So a $1 salary won't hurt Whitman's wallet much -- and she's likely hoping that the gesture will show that she's focused not on money, but on turning HP around. The company's TouchPad tablet was a failure, phones aren't selling and PC sales have slumped globally.
Last month, then-CEO Apotheker tried to remedy those issues with a shocking announcement: HP would end the experiment with webOS and get out of the PC business entirely -- a market that it leads both in the United States and globally.
A few weeks later, on September 22, the HP board announced it had ousted Apotheker and replaced him with Whitman.
Apotheker has already scored millions from his 11-month tenure at HP. Before he was fired he had already taken home most of his $1.2 million annual salary, a $4 million signing bonus and an additional $4.6 million awarded for relocation assistance and to offset payments that he forfeited from his previous employer, SAP (SAP).
Apotheker will receive $7.2 million in severance, which will be paid out over the next 18 months. He'll also receive a bonus of $2.4 million for his 11 months of service.
Also, HP will pay Apotheker up to $300,000 for any losses or fees on the sale of his California home, and will immediately vest 156,000 shares of stock valued at $3.6 million on the day Apotheker got the boot.
Apotheker retains some restricted stock grants that will only pay out if HP hits certain future financial targets, but he waived rights to around 40% of the restricted stock that he had contractual rights to claim.
The final kicker, though, is that HP is paying Apotheker, a longtime resident of Europe, to get out of the country. The company reported that it will pay "reasonable relocation expenses, including return airfare, for Mr. Apotheker and his spouse to France or Belgium."
Oracle kicks HP while it's down. But why?

Autism Reversed In Only In 3 Days. Effects May Last Years.
The drug had no obvious side-effects.
A drug used to treat cancer could reverse the symptoms of autism in three days, new research finds.
Mice with autism given the drug showed a reversal in the social symptoms of autism.
The drug's effects lasted three weeks, which in human terms is several years — so the drug appears long-lasting.
The drug — called romidepsin — is approved for fighting cancer by the US Food and Drug Administration.
Previous studies have shown that autism suppresses the effects of over 200 genes and romidepsin restores most of these.
"Autism involves the loss of so many genes.
The discovery relies on the fact that risk genes for autism and cancer overlap.
The study was published in the journal Nature Neuroscience (Qin et al., 2018).

At the beginning of the 2010 I walked across France with a mate of mine called Matty. Not only was this an amazing experience, but it was Number 36 on my list.
Whilst chatting somewhere in between Switzerland on the French East Coast and the Atlantic Ocean on the West, Matty told me a story of his military training and how one of the hardest exercises he ever had to complete was a 72 Hour Sleep Deprivation task. He mentioned how tough physically it was, but more so how challenging mentally it became. Hallucinations, mind games, and constant activities were some of the themes Matty spoke about and by the end of the conversation I had decided that I needed to test myself with this very challenge; staying awake for 72 Hours.
In November, 2010, I was joined by good mate and professional adventurer; Dave Cornthwaite, in Melbourne as we decided to attempt this challenge. Little did we know what we were in for and even with a an amazing pre-arranged itinerary of events that would last us 72 hours, things became quite emotional.

It hard to believe that 84 days, 31,220 miles (by air, car, and boat), and nearly 4,000 pictures later, my sabbatical is nearly finished. Tomorrow is the last day before heading back to real-life on Tuesday. The realities of what I and my family have experienced over these last few months is impossible to put into words. I have actually developed a bit of an action to try to describe it, so if we see each other f2f, you'll likely see it. As we went into our last weekend of our time, we chose to go camping with some dear friends of ours here in town. We headed out to the Greenbo Lake State Park in Kentucky for the weekend. I thought it fitting that I would be ending my sabbatical in a way similar to how I began – out in nature, surrounded by God's beautiful creation. Back in May, when I began, I spent most of that first day out at Rowe Woods and I went into this weekend praying for an insight about wrapping up this indescribably amazing period of my life. That insight came today as we were on a short hike on our final morning at camp.
Our two families had headed out and we spread out along the trail and at one point, I was hiking by myself when I came across this spider weaving a web. I had seen spiders do this before, but here I just stopped for a few minutes to watch. There is also a video that is embedded at the end of this post showing what a photo alone cannot (side note, the video isn't the greatest – my SLR was having some issue keeping the focus on the small spider and the stringy web so I was focusing manually). As I watched the spider go around and around this web, I got thinking about the Gospels that I have been reading through. While there were some stories and teachings that were unique to just one or two of the Gospels, there was a great deal that felt like I was hearing it over and over again. The temptation through it was to skip ahead – after all, I had read about the cleansing of the temple before, right? Well, yes and no. I had read that (or the other stories) before, but not that day and not at that moment and not in that place. I was able to read these stories in places that covered over 31,000 miles this summer (within the US, through the Middle East, to South Africa, and around a segment of the Caribbean) with at least fifteen languages spoken around me in the various places. And I was able to hear them in new ways. So, even though it felt like I was treading the same place over and over, this spider reminded me that it was new every day and new each day as the sabbatical ends.
The other learning came to me as there was a bit of a period of quiet as we drove home today. All the others in the car were asleep or reading and I was thinking about the spider and I thought about how the spider has to do that over and over probably every day. And it doesn't get different per se – its still a spiral over and over and over. I thought about how I, like so many others, have trouble with being content with the now and with what we have right now. Instead there is the looking ahead to the new, to the different, to the "better", to the next big thing. Yet, the Christian life is not about the extraordinary happening over and over. The walk of faith is in so many ways walking the same steps over and over. I saw that in the Gospels not just in the stories that were repeated but in the actions that I saw in Jesus over and over and over. Prayer, worship, serving, loving, welcoming. Over and over and over again. As I type this, I think of the Eugene Peterson book I read about the Psalms entitled A Long Obedience in the Same Direction. Its not an instant thing, but a life-long thing with much of what we are called to be being those things that we do day after day after day after day after day. Walking alongside the same Savior, empowered by the same Spirit, surrounded by the same Creator.
I happened upon your site by just a click of the mouse, and what a blessing that click and your site are to me. I'm at a transitional point in my life and looking for where God wants me to go next. Your photographs and essays remind me that I don't have to look for extraordinary changes. It is that day to day awareness of God in all things and in every moment that I really need to hold on to. Everything else He will take care of.
Wow – thank you for sharing that. Your words mean a great deal to me. I am grateful that the Lord spoke to you through this and others. God's blessings to you in this point in your life.

Now, those will cross count in history and literature, but I also think you need a why believe sort of book and which one you pick will depend a lot of what flavor of Christianity you want to explore.
When I first wrote that last paragraph I was thinking more of works of systematic theology, one of my loves. But as I thought more about it, I realized that it might also be interesting to come up with a diverse set of more devotional works that could be read about Christian belief.
I've also thought about other works that tell about folks: Lest Innocent Blood Be Shed and To Quell the Terror are possibilities as are other works which I am sure will come to me.
Any way these are mostly things I've read. I'm sure others can suggest some more.
And these are probably mostly for MY edification.
Okay, I've thought of one I missed: Pilgrim's Progress by Bunyon. Mountainmama this is the one I would suggest for a generic protestant take. Supposedly it is the most read book just behind the Bible. It is enormously influential.
This has potential to be a great thread. Thank you Candid for starting it!
* Hannah Hunnard's Hinds Feet on High Places, an allegory of suffering and faith. This one rings more true each time I read it!
*Oswald Chamber's My Utmost for His Highest. A true daily devotion of timeless, rich truth.
There are other Christian works that have affected me greatly, but they would probably fall more in the category of missionary biographies, biographies and Bible studies.
Dante's "Inferno, Purgatorio, and Paradisio"
And now for my admission: I've never read Chesterton, though he's been on my list for a looooonng time. If I read only one this summer, which should it be? Everlasting Man or Orthodoxy?
...I've never read Chesterton... If I read only one this summer, which should it be? Everlasting Man or Orthodoxy?
Well MY first choice for someone who has never read Chesterton would be the Father Brown short story mysteries (the collection The Innocence of Father Brown is the best starting point) -- or The Man Who Was Thursday -- works of fiction. ;) That way you'd really get a feel for Chesterton's sense of humor, and his love of paradox, and how paradox can reveal deeper Truth.
BUT, if you mean which non-fiction work of Everlasting Man or Orthodoxy, then I'd suggest going with Orthodoxy. It is a shorter, more accessible, and a more straight-forward work on theology and apologetics. Everlasting Man is longer and more complex, and seemed to me to be a bit less theological -- is more like a series of personal essays focusing on "the creature called man" (8 essays), and then on "the man called Christ" (6 essays), with the overall goal of disproving the idea that Christ and Christianity is just one of is just one of many similar myths and religions.
JMO! BEST of luck, whatever you decide! :) Warmest regards, Lori D.
I was struggling with the same question for my ds. I really wasn't sure which way to go. I ended up deciding on The Everlasting Man b/c it was the book that Lewis credited with his conversion and ds has read a lot of Lewis.
I just purchased The Message in the Bottle to add to ds's lit this yr. I already own Lost in the Cosmos, but after reading the reviews for Message in the Bottle and your recommendation, I decided to add another Percy to our library.
What a fun thread. I'll be taking notes!
For my homeschooled kids, my main goal is to get them through the entire Bible at the rhetoric level. Anything else is gravy, or frosting, or something. And my favorite Bible go-along is the Greenleaf Guide.
I'm sure I'll think of lots more after I post this.
I find Augustine more historical than inspirational, but maybe that's me (the Teaching Company videos helped me, too).
I also find Bonhoeffer a tough read and maybe intended for a particular audience needing a particular message?

A Little History of Us
Our Cabaret Productions is an ASCAP licensed, non-Equity, professional theatrical production company. We were founded as John & Courtney Productions in 2005 by John Baldino and Courtney Evans with a mission to work with charitable organizations and provide a fun and innovative to raise funds and awareness.
Today, we continue to provide an innovative, out-of-the-box option to raise money, spotlight organizations and entertain all at the same time. We produce cabaret-style variety shows that star our professional performers and feature performances by members of the organization.
We have seen tremendous success with nonprofits like Carbondale Kiwanis, Jermyn Lions, The Northeastern Pennsylvania Philharmonic, RSVP / Voluntary Action Center, Saint Rose Academy, Jermyn Shade Tree Commission and a few others. We're always working on proposals for other local charities.
After a two-year hiatus, the company was rebooted and re-branded John & Erin Cabaret Productions in 2012. This was the result of John returning to his home region after extended graduate studies. Courtney took a step back to a featured performer position to accommodate her increasingly busy schedule and Erin Canedy was named new Producer and Lead Performer.
Continuing to work with charities, we've increased our focus on private party entertainment and production of our own cabaret shows. Our first official John & Erin cabaret production was "Our Christmas Cabaret." Produced in John and Erin's home town of Carbondale, PA, the show starred the duo with a supporting cast of Jonathan Alunni and Jenna Simonetti and music direction by Linda Houck.
Our Cabaret Productions continues to move forward, working with charities, providing private entertainment and dazzling audiences in northeastern Pennsylvania and northern New Jersey.

In an amendment to the claims, you can mark them (Original), (Currently amended), (Canceled), (Withdrawn), (Previously presented), (New), and (Not entered).
What is the difference between Withdrawn and Cancelled, both in use and implication?
The implication with withdrawn is that you may seek to re-introduce it later while canceled is cancelled. However, at most points in the process you can enter amendments and an amendment could add a new claim with the exact wording of a previously canceled claim so canceled doesn't mean the wording can't come back.
On the other hand, you do not automatically have the right to enter new claims at the end of prosecution. At the point when all (active) claims are allowed, prosecution is done. Amending in a new claim would not be looked at very favorably, but asking for a withdrawn claim to be considered might fly.
Often some of the original claims are to a device and some are to a method of using (or making) that device. You might have a claim to a genus (independent) and also claims (dependent) to several species of an invention. You might be required to limit the number of species that will be searched. I would withdraw the claims to species that aren't going to be searched. If you do not get the genus claim, you might get one or more of the species claims. If you do get the genus claim, you should be able to "un-withdraw" the other dependend claims.
By far the most substantive ($$) difference is in excess claims calculation. If you file 20 claims, incurring no excess claim fees, and then cancel them all and amend-in 20 new ones you still have no excess claim fees. If, instead, you withdraw them and amend-in 20 new claims you have a total of 40 claims and will pay fees. After you make that filing you will be stuck paying the excess claim fees even if you cancel them the next day.

Charles S. King in King Galleries | Scottsdale & Santa Fe, 2018.
King Galleries of Scottsdale is pleased to represent the Pueblo pottery of many of today's leading potters. Over the years we have taken the time to get to know each of our gallery artists. As each new piece comes into the gallery, we talk with the artist, finding out about the time and thought that goes into their work. It is important with contemporary pottery to understand the designs and motivation of the artist and their work. Over time, we feel as if we not only have a business relationship with most of the potters, but also a friendship.
Charles grew up in Estes Park, Colorado and while in High School worked at his parent's gallery, Serendipity Trading. He received his BA from the University of Colorado and his MBA from the Thunderbird School of Global Management. He worked overseas and then in 1996 opened King Galleries. The goal has been to create a gallery which represents work by potters and artists who create the highest quality and inspire the greatest innovation in their art.
Charles King has been a judge in various years since 1996 for pottery at the most prestigious Indian art events, such as Santa Fe Indian Market, the Heard Museum Indian Market, and Gallup Ceremonials. He has also given numerous talks on Pueblo pottery at the Heard Museum, Museum of Indian Art and Culture (MIAC), the Carnegie Museum, the Ceramics Research Center- ASU, the Pueblo Grande Museum, Rockwell Museum of Western Art, The Philbrook Museum and The Denver Art Museum. He has also worked closely with various museums for pottery exhibitions over the years. He advises various auctions houses and museums to assist in the authentication of work by historic pueblo artists, which are then either sold or donated.
He first wrote about Pueblo pottery in the book "Collecting Authentic Indian Art," and this was followed by the article, "Pueblo Pottery: Folk Art to Fine Art" for the thirtieth anniversary of American Indian Art Magazine. His first book, Born of Fire: The Life and Pottery of Margaret Tafoya, was published in 2008. This book was published in conjunction with the Carnegie Museum in Pittsburgh, PA and the exhibit has since traveled to numerous other ventures.
His articles, "Santa Clara and San Ildefonso Pottery: Black is Beautiful"-2009, and "Four Emerging Potters: Gen Next"-2010 were published in Native Peoples Magazine. His second book, "The Art and Life of Tony Da" was published in 2011 and written with Richard Spivey. Most recently he has written, "Virgil Ortiz: Revolt 1680/2180" in conjunction with the exhibition at the Denver Art Museum. In 2015-16 he took time away from the gallery to work with the Smithsonian Museums and Smithsonian Enterprises at their museum stores in Washington, DC. on several projects. His fourth book project, "Spoken Through Clay," was published in 2017! He spends his time between the galleries in Scottsdale and Santa Fe.
SOME HIGHLIGHTS OVER THE YEARS….
In this program gallerist, researcher, and author Charles King discusses the artistry, history, and position of Pueblo pottery in the world of ceramics. Included in the presentation is an overview of his most recently completed book, "Spoken Through Clay," which contains portraits and interviews of more than 40 Native American artists sharing their unique personal perspectives on their culture, traditions, and the locally sourced clay that is transformed into an art form through their hands. King will also provide insights into the aesthetics, dynamics, and artistry of Native pottery.
Charles King has been a gallerist for over twenty years and an author of four books on Native American pottery: "Born of Fire: The Life and Pottery of Margaret Tafoya", "The Art and Life of Tony Da", "Virgil Ortiz: Revolt 1680/2180" and his most recent book, "Spoken Through Clay." In addition to King Galleries, he has been a consultant at the Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian and spoken at the Heard Museum, Museum of Indian Art and Culture (MIAC), the Carnegie Museum, the Ceramics Research Center- ASU, the Rockwell Museum of Western Art, The Philbrook Museum and The Denver Art Museum on various topics dealing with Native pottery. He has been a judge at Santa Fe Indian Market, the Heard Museum Indian Market, and other art events.

"It was a chance meeting with Charles King, owner of King Galleries of Scottsdale in Arizona, that raised their collecting of Southwestern pottery to new heights. King, who Cameros brought to MAG last week for a private lecture to collectors, helped the couple to identify emerging talent and to better establish relationships with a current generation of Pueblo potters.
King has written two books on the subject — Born of Fire, MargaretTafoya and the Art and Life of Tony Da — and has been collecting and selling Pueblo pottery for more than 20 years. He is one of three authors credited with elevating American Indian pottery from an ethnographic curiosity to the status of fine art.
King calls the Cameroses "risk-takers." Sheila K. Hoffman, former curator at Rockwell, credits Nancy Cameros' ability to spot significant work.
King, in an American Indian Art Magazine in 2005, divided Native American artists into three categories: those who were at the foundation of the art, contemporary traditionalists and contemporary innovators. The Nancy and Alan Cameros Collection represents all three, so the book that served as a catalog for the first exhibit of the couple's art at Rockwell, in 2007, borrowed King's categories to describe the pieces.
Cameros recently helped Rockwell purchase two clay works of historical significance that will be permanently housed at the museum, Long Neck Jar with Carved Avanyuby Margaret Tafoya, and Set of 20 Miniature Graduated Sgraffito Pots by Joseph Lonewolf.

"Join gallery owner and Pueblo pottery expert Charles King for a presentation and discussion on his experience of collecting and representing the work of today's most innovative Native American potters. He will discuss his long-standing relationship with the potters and the role his gallery plays in representing the artists' work to the public.
"Visit King Galleries of Scottsdale, opened by Charles King in 1996. In a contemporary space with a rustic touch – a white-wood beam ceiling – you'll see the work of many of today's leading Pueblo potters, including fineline Acoma black-and-white designs, black-on-black pots from San Ildefonso and polychrome works from Santa Clara, as well as some select works in other media. Pottery includes historic and contemporary pieces. King says, "Over the years, we've taken the time to know each of our gallery artists.
Pieter Hovens and Charles King, led by Garth Clark.
"King Galleries is of particular interest to pottery collectors. Founder Charles King is celebrating his 10th anniversary, representing of many of today's leading Pueblo potters. Each piece of pottery in the gallery is handmade, stone polished and painted, and almost all are traditionally fired. "Tradition with a twist" is how King describes the featured work of Santa Clara potter LuAnn Tafoya. The daughter of renowned potter Margaret Tafoya, LuAnn has continued her mother's legacy of large-scale vessels, which remains unique to the Tafoya family. Her high polish and use of traditional shapes and firing techniques yield spectacular masterpieces in clay.
"A savvy observer might have noticed the swell of aqueous turquoise hues and Indian-inspired creations. Don't feel un-hip if you didn't.
Arizona has long embraced the at-once earthy and ethereal fashions of Indian artists that East and West Coast trendsetters are now sporting.
High-profile designers such as Ralph Lauren lit the wildfire for Southwestern fashion. Last fall, he highlighted turquoise belts and jewelry. Designer Michael Kors has since made turquoise stones the centerpiece of his high heels, pendants and belts. And after interviewing designers, the Pantone Color Institute reports that "blue turquoise" is the choice for the spring/summer 2005 season after apple green.
Arizona jewelry sellers have felt the rush of foot traffic and the inconvenience of trendy admiration. "Some of my suppliers are having trouble keeping concha belts in as a result of this craze," said Martin Kim, museum store manager at the Arizona State Museum in Tucson. Since finding favor with high fashion, the market has been flooded with Southwestern ersatz jewelry and designs. Selling fake jewelry disguised as Native American hand-made art is illegal by federal law and is likely to continue to be an issue in Arizona.
Fashion has had a long off-again, on-again love affair with Western dress, and turquoise in particular. The pioneers adopted moccasins and beading in their garments. In the 1960s and '70s women adopted the individuality of fringe and turquoise as they expressed their independence. During the bicentennial, the Southwestern look returned as people yearned for the nostalgia and romance of America's roots, said Dennita Sewell, fashion curator at the Phoenix Art Museum. "It'll go beyond forever because it's been going on forever," Sewell said. "It's an American tradition. It's iconic of American style." In other words, don't toss any turquoise collected during this reign of popularity in the yard-sale pile.
Far from the runways but no less timely, Phoenix's Heard Museum presents the work of New Mexico pueblo potter artist/fashion designer Virgil Ortiz. Ortiz collaborated with New York designer Donna Karan on her 2003 spring line. His display of traditional clay figures and haute couture continues through June 2. Tote bags inspired by Ortiz's very pricey purses will sell for a reasonable price at the upcoming Heard's 47th annual Indian Fair & Market. The finest Indian jewelry makers in the country will display their wares at the fair March 5 and 6.
"Speaking of wishing people well, there's a person I don't need to wish well because he's going to do quite well, thank you very much – and that would be Charles King. Now, if you flipped his name around, he would be King Charles and that's a more appropriate moniker . . . as in King of Native American pottery. It has been a long time since I have seen a new gallery with the were-with-all to become an instant success, but Charles is doing just that. He recently opened King Galleries of Scottsdale on Main Street and what a jewel of a gallery. Loaded with top quality (NO JUNK) Native American crafts but specializing in pottery (which I have always loved) and because of that, I think he will be enormously successful.

Consumer Version Oculus Rift Could Be Priced Between $200-$400
By Tyler Lee, on 09/04/2014 03:15 PDT
We know that there are plenty of gamers out there who probably can't wait to get their hands on the Oculus Rift virtual reality headset, but unfortunately it seems that the wearable is still in its early stages and while it is being sold to developers who are interested in seeing its potential, it's not quite ready for primetime yet.
However the question remains, if it were to be released, how much will it cost? Well if you're a little tight on cash at the moment, perhaps it's time to start saving. Speaking to the folks at Eurogamer, Oculus VR's co-founder, Nate Mitchell, revealed that he expects the headset to retail anywhere between $200 to $400.
Naturally we are hoping it will lean more towards the $200 side of things, but given that the device has yet to be produced and released en masse, we guess anything could happen from now and then that could lead to its price being increased or decreased. However according to Mitchell, "That could slide in either direction depending on scale, preorders, the components we end up using, [or] business negotiations."
Oculus Rift's creator, Palmer Luckey later added, "Whatever it is, it's going to be as cheap as possible." Unfortunately an exact release date of the Oculus Rift has yet to be determined, but here's hoping that it will be sooner rather than later. In the meantime there are plenty of alternatives out there, such as Project Morpheus from Sony, the Vortex VR, and Samsung's recently announced Gear VR.

It appears that 888poker.com offers reloads every month is this correct, so in theory you could convert a reload bonus every month too.
You must ask about these reload bonuses the poker room as we don't have more information on these. Hope a member will pick up your thread too!
how come? have you contacted poker room?
Do you currently have another bonus ongoing? I'm not sure they'll let you do two at a time. I'm going to finish my sign-up bonus and then reload the rest of my bankroll come the end of January!
You can have more than 1 active bonuses ,however you need to clear first one before releasing second one ot third one.
The Cashier just told me to use a different code, or leave it blank. So i had to do that.
I havnt considered contacting the Support either as i didnt think they would be able to do anything, but im currently in chat with one, i'll see where it goes.
This post has been edited 1 time(s), it was last edited by MattDenness: 28.11.2011 14:03.
"Milly: That code is no longer available and cannot be used.
Milly: HOw much would you like to deposit?"
Seems it no longer works.
But if you open chat with The Cashier Team, they can offer you a Reload bonus: "Milly: The reload bonus is 100% up to $50 now"
Not sure if this can be used without speaking with the Deposit team first, but worth a try.
are you going to try with the 888RLD50 then?
Does anyone have a latest bonus code of 100% up to 150$?
I asked the b*** on their support for it she said u can get 100% reload bonus up to 150$ if i deposited 500$. I tired to explain her that this is not 100%. When she said deposit 400$. I didn't agree then she said 350$ is the last offer. Then she offered 50RLDDEC (which is 100% up to 50$) and she said i have to deposit 200$. Wtf?
Why are they negotiating? Why are they trying to tell me that 500$*100%=150$?
These things just make me not wanna play on their site.
Can PS make a comment on that?
I received call from her on my phone. We talked for couple of minutes and she gave me 150$ bonus for 200$ deposit. How weird is that?
The code for the reload this month is "Free200Now", that gives you 100% reload bonus up to $200.
This post has been edited 1 time(s), it was last edited by hariseldon76: 08.12.2011 17:11.
Although I deposit with a code of 100% up to 50$ bonus. They ask me if I was interested in a code of 100% up to 200$. So I think that anyone could ask for a reload bonus like that.
Wriggers post at the same time as me, and with more accurate information.
anyone know how fast these reload bonuses clear?

What is President H.R. Clinton's Energy Policy?
April 7, 2016 23:04
Even as the number of 2016 presidential candidates in both parties has dwindled, the media -- particularly television news -- has yet to focus on an in-depth discussion of the candidates' policy proposals. While it was difficult to discern the energy policies that a President Trump would implement, candidate Hillary Clinton has made quite clear the energy goals that a President H.R. Clinton would set. Including her "Clean Energy Challenge," issued last summer, and the proposal to increase energy efficiency standards that she announced in February 2016, Clinton has made very specific and far-reaching plans that would continue and expand on the Obama Administration's policies. The focus of her energy policy is twofold – address climate change and use the clean energy industry to grow the economy and create jobs. It seems safe to say the phrase "all of the above" will not apply to the Clinton administration energy policy.

Even if You Can't Insure the End of Days, You Can Insure Some of the Effects of Climate Change
by J. Wylie Donald
Today is the day the world ended. But it didn't. The spin put by some on the Mayan calendar didn't pan out and the world continued. Here in Baltimore we didn't buy into the predictions, but just in case, we went looking for some end-of-the world insurance policies. We didn't come up with anything. But while we were looking we turned up quite a bit of coverage for the-end-of-the-world-as-we-know-it. Some call it climate change insurance; most just recognize it as an old friend taking on a few new attributes to meet the needs of the present. We found quite a bit of that old friend. There is the simple stuff. Farmers grow crops. If it doesn't rain, there are no crops. If it rains too much, there are no crops. If hail is overwhelming, there are no crops. If frost comes early, or stays late, there are no crops. Sounds like extreme and variable weather and also the makings of an insurance policy. Total Weather Insurance agrees. The beauty of TWI's product is that the farmer need not prove any loss. As The Economist reports, he or she just bets on the details of the weather on a 2.5 x 2.5 mile grid across the United States, and with data-processing getting more and more sophisticated, the variations of farming are smoothed substantially. At the other extreme are catastrophe bonds. These investment vehicles offer something very few investments can offer – zero correlation with the stock market. In a nutshell (and according to Investopedia) a catastrophe bond is a "high-yield debt instrument that is usually insurance linked and meant to raise money in case of a catastrophe such as a hurricane or earthquake. It has a special condition that states that if the issuer (insurance or reinsurance company) suffers a loss from a particular pre-defined catastrophe, then the issuer's obligation to pay interest and/or repay the principal is either deferred or completely forgiven." We noted earlier this year that Florida's Citizen's Property Insurance Corporation issued the largest catastrophe bond ever at $750 million. That trend has continued with this year's issuance exceeding last year's by over $2.5 billion. Some might say that the above would exist even if climate change were not occurring. Possibly. But what about insurance for renewable energy and for green buildings? William Gallagher Associates offers its Green Energy Insure product, recognizing that new technologies carry more risk than proven ones. Green energy purveyors need to address the risks accompanying their technology and seek coverage for the failure of the technology itself, the cost of opening and closing the equipment to get to the problem, and any ensuing damage that may occur. Green building insurance was pioneered by Fireman's Fund, but it is no longer alone in the field. Other companies such as AIG, Zurich, Travelers, and Chubb now offer products addressed to the issues green buildings face like vegetated roofs, building commissioning, recycling of debris rather than disposal, water and lighting efficiency, and certain certified professionals. One climate change product that has not made an appearance is greenhouse gas insurance. So far as we know, no one is offering carbon dioxide coverage, at least by that name. We have written many times before that such coverage is to be found in general liability policies and D&O policies under the general insuring agreement, because the absolute pollution exclusion doesn't apply. The issue has been litigated twice and the policyholder has won on both occasions. See Donaldson v. Urban Land Interests, Inc., 564 N.W.2d 728, 732 (Wis. 1997); Steadfast Ins. Co. v. The AES Corp. The Mayan prophecy advocated by some did not come to pass today. To assuage the disappointment, we will offer another. Insurance products are wonderful; they are even more wonderful when they pay off. People being what they are, there will be disputes over these new instruments. The petitioning policyholder will be more likely to prevail where it has prudently purchased.

Revisions to the Green Guides: Part III - Insurance Coverage for the Claim
If you have been following along with the last two posts, you are now aware of the several ways one can trip up as one attempts to use "green" climate change attributes (specifically, claims regarding renewable energy, carbon offsets or carbon neutrality) to win customers or sell products. And the universe is bigger than simply climate change. The Green Guides promulgated by the Federal Trade Commission, address general environmental benefit claims; biodegrable, recyclable, compostable, refillable and recycled content claims; "ozone-friendly" claims; and claims about source reduction. See 16 C.F.R. § 260.7. There are numerous perils and you would like to think that a misstep in this area would not be without succor. And you would be right (in some circumstances). Included in the general liability policies with which we are all familiar, is coverage for Advertising Injury. As its name implies, it can be a source of coverage for a marketing misstep. Typical insuring language provides that the insurer "will pay those sums that the insured becomes legally obligated to pay as damages because of 'personal and advertising injury' to which this insurance applies." ISO CG 00 01 12 07. These policies often also require the insurer to defend the insured against claims asserting advertising injury. Advertising injury coverage is not triggered by the commonly known "occurrence." Instead, the operative event is an "offense" committed by the insured. These offenses are specifically enumerated in the definition of "personal and advertising injury." Pertinent here is the following offense set forth in the definition: "oral or written publication, in any manner, of material that slanders or libels a person or organization or disparages a person's or organization's goods, products or services." It is easy to understand "oral or written publication," but is a misleading advertisement that does not even mention a competitor's name, a slander, a libel or a disparagement? In a case of first impression in California in 2007, a court of appeals panel found that it could be. Tosoh Set v. Hartford Fire Ins. Co., slip op. (Cal. Ct. App., April 30, 2007) Click here . The court found that the "duty to defend was triggered by an allegation that [the insured] falsely claimed it alone had developed the detailed specifications and tolerances required for certain replacement component parts used in semiconductor manufacturing equipment, a statement that disparaged its competitors' products and services by implying they were measurably inferior." It does not require much ingenuity to imagine a claim that a certain item "made with renewable energy" constitutes disparagement of other manufacturers' products that are not so made. Likewise, a claim that a service was carbon neutral, might disparage services that were not. So coverage seems possible.

Revisions to the Green Guides: Part I - Renewable Energy Claims
The Federal Trade Commission proposed revisions to its "Green Guides" at the beginning of this month. Proposed Revisions to the Green Guides (Oct. 6, 2010) Click here. The comment period runs through December 10, 2010. Most interesting for readers of this blog are the two new proposed guides directed to renewable energy and carbon offsets, which we discuss below. For those unfamiliar with the Green Guides, they are the guidance provided by the FTC for marketers to assist them in avoiding making misleading environmental claims. First published in 1992, and updated in 1996 and 1998, the Guides provide "1) general principles that apply to all environmental marketing claims; 2) how consumers are likely to interpret particular claims and how marketers can substantiate these claims; and 3) how marketers can qualify their claims to avoid deceiving consumers." FTC Press Release (Oct. 6, 2010) Click here. Although the Green Guides are not law, the FTC uses them to determine when to bring enforcement actions. As stated in the regulations: "These guides specifically address the application of Section 5 of the FTC Act to environmental advertising and marketing practices. They provide the basis for voluntary compliance with such laws by members of industry. Conduct inconsistent with the positions articulated in these guides may result in corrective action by the Commission under Section 5 if, after investigation, the Commission has reason to believe that the behavior falls within the scope of conduct declared unlawful by the statute." 16 C.F.R. § 260.1 test ttt

McCARTER & ENGLISH CLIMATE CHANGE AND RENEWABLE ENERGY PRACTICE GROUP
The business case for the development of renewable energy projects, from biodiesel and ethanol to wind, solar, and distributed generation, is more compelling than ever as tax and regulatory incentives combine to attract investments. Emerging issues in environmental law and increasingly recognized principles of corporate social responsibility are encouraging public companies to voluntarily reduce greenhouse gas emissions, install clean energy alternatives, and invest overseas in projects under the Kyoto Protocol to respond to climate change concerns.

Welcome and congrats on finding such a mint condition 5.5. The Merlot always looks great, especially now next to that clean Z32 you have.
Wow, the same stuff we used to use on tools?
If so, what a brilliant idea. I found a quick thing on Youtube that the Mitsu guys did with it and search found a few posts on here. I'll get reading! Thanks!
Last edited by SeedyROM; 03-08-2011 at 08:30 PM.
Welcome to the .org !
Great looking Merlot, looks like the detail really brought it back too life.
Love the Z, I've always wanted one of those.
I just watched a youtube vid and read the directions.
I removed the grill, cleaned it, taped up the Nissan burger to mask, then sprayed with 4 coats, 30 mins between each coat. Make sure it's well ventilated.
Black grill looks great on merlot.
Awesome. Cheap and easy modifications are the absolute best. Thanks!
The Max has some good cheap mods like the short throw shifter mod, ghetto air box, VIAS plate, intake spaces, short ram intake, etc.
I used to have a '93TT way back in the day. Nothing can complement a Z like a Maxima and 5.5 gen is arguably the best version. The best thing is that you can actually fit a hand in the engine bay. Damn VG with twin spools leaves busted knuckles.
Now you know why I wanted another one to replace the 5.5 gen I had that was totaled. For the price of a 5.5 gen ($5-8k depending on miles, condition and options), it is the most car you can get for the money.
Love how yours turned out after the detail, always liked the Merlot red cars and there was one available locally. However, a 6 speed was the most important thing to me so I was willing to take a less desirable color.
Oh yeah, first mod should be the GAB and a K&N drop-in. Make sure you get some CRC MAF sensor cleaner as well, so after you run the K&N filter for a few days, clean the MAF. Should prevent any oils from the filter from affecting the MAF.
Excellent Looking forward to doing my own work again. With the Z I was much less likely to for that reason.
Welcome and nice cars bro love them both awesome colors!!!
nice pickup...my advice toward suspension is, don't settle for anything less than coilovers, d2's, megan racings, or what I have bc racing br type coilovers. If you feel liek you ever want to upgrade brake, there is a 6th gen maxima bbk upgrade which is great or a z32 tt bbk upgrade as well. I wouldn't mod the maxima for power, it's just not cost effective. A stillen classic lip kit would also look great on there.
Location: Living it up in MA..
The detail came out great!
I would start out with a cold air intake, I recommend a JWT!
I would also just change stock springs to H&R springs and keep the stock struts...looks nice, cost effective and should last a while depending on the condition of your stock struts, love my setup!!
Lots of mods can be done on this car! Having fun with mine!!
Last edited by MaximusMorpheus; 03-09-2011 at 01:41 AM.
I never understood doing the GAB in that way, too ghetto.
Hasn't anyone taken an old deck plate speaker cover and installed it in the side of the air box instead? That would be clean, and offer much better air flow. Also, you could couple a Velocity stack to the Speaker cover if you sized them properly, that would increase your power considerably for little to no cost. You could even use an old speaker port for the VS.
I was going to do this until I decided on my Custon CAI, I just thought I'd share it with you guys.
GAB is free and when done right, looks decent enough. I know someone did a dyno run after doing the GAB and a K&N panel filter and picked up 9 hp, which is about what an SRI will get.
GAB when preformed right looks fine and sounds great. You can even get small mesh/screen covers(similar to a small tweeter cover) to pop in if you're that worried about looks. ANd when it gets so warm you have to use the AC- just throw some black tape over the holes.
I think performance is where it's at for 02-03, exploit the fact that you have 3.5!
Nice purchase. Now let the modding begin.
IMO the money you will spend on shocks/springs, use it for a decent set of coilovers instead.
EFFIN!!!!!! EPIC!!!!!!! DEAR GAWD that color is beautiful man, it looks exceptional!!!!!!!!
i agree w/ the coilover advice. the money i spent on getting my springs/strut combo i could have been had coilovers...coilovers ride better than my spring/strut setup on top of being adjustable with my fingers for dampening and being able to adjust my height...i love it...even riding as low as i am, my ride is pretty much still better than my spring/strut.

Welcome aboard, That's my twin, Merlot FTW!
As a former moderator at twinTurbo, I'm sure your participation here will be welcome and appreciated. There are some good people in this section of the Org. I still don't know half of them half as well as I should like, and I like less than half of them half as well as they deserve.
That color is fairly epic, and I hate my frost interior now.
Nice car, have fun, and let us know when you have a question. You're not new to the forum world, but bare with us since our sticky's need an overhaul at the moment.
I love the Merlot paint color. I was gonna say, if that was a 6MT, I was about to get wicked jealous.
Bilbo. But yeah, that was fun.
Last edited by Rochester; 03-09-2011 at 07:56 AM.
Great pick up. Nice feeling huh? Congrats!
Beautiful car. If it wasn't raining your pics would of driven me to clay bar my car this instant.
Thanks everyone for the warm welcome! I'll definitely consider going the coilover route. Going to get it in the air later this week and inspect the suspension and other things. If the car is fine and doesn't need any other work done it'll make buying them that much easier.
Wow Merlot is slowly becoming one of my favorite colors! Truly sharp!! You gotta floss her at the upcoming meet!!! Hope that day's clear for you.
If 4th gen coilovers can fit a 5.5, Ill sell you my Boss Chens (coilovers).

Lynden David Hall
Lynden David Hall Memorial
Ms Dynamite to perform at the London ceremony to raise money for charity
Tuesday, August 1, 2006 - 07:39
When Lynden David Hall died in February this year from a rare form of cancer, the country lost one of its most promising young vocal talents.
A singer, songwriter and producer from Wandsworth, south London, Lynden rose to fame after winning the MOBO for best newcomer at the 1998 awards. He produced three critically acclaimed albums and appeared in the film Love Actually before being diagnosed with Hodgkins lymphoma in October 2003. Aged just 31, he tragically died this year from complications following a stem cell transplant he received in 2005.
But before he passed away, Lynden set up the charity Lyndens Wish to help raise money for the similarly afflicted, working with the African Caribbean Leukaemia Trust (ACLT).
Now Lyndens Wish and ACLT would like to invite you to a memorial celebration in honour of Lynden David Hall at the Kensington Roof Gardens in London on Tuesday May 23. Live performances on the night will include Ms Dynamite and Bev Tawiah and DJs Ronnie Herel and Manny Norte will be spinning. All proceeds from the night will go to ACLT. Tickets, at 25, can be bought from ticketweb.co.uk.

No one can still submit cyprus tax returns for full year 2017 and they are now overdue.
The problem is the decision to go for a full online return system in 2017.
This is a good idea to try and speed up assessments - 5 years behind in cyprus - which causes confusion and delay to people wanting to move on in life selling homes, business or settling probate and estates.
Any plan is only as good as the preparation though and the preparation could have been better.
Firstly many people were not online.
To register for online tax you needed to submit up to 5 paper documents to be administered by tax officials. This has been abandoned at the end of March as too cumbersome.
Secondly people could not register online.
This is has been corrected this year to allow people to register for tax online - but new approach required a previous Cyprus tax assessment. Many Expats in Cyprus don't have this or can't find such a reference.
Thirdly auto enrolment was adopted.
Still complicated. The solution was to post a letter in cyprus giving a special code and instructions to individuals to allow them to register. Expats travelling and not in cyprus will struggle as will those using agents for their tax affairs. Once registering the system still require 2/3 steps to complete over a few days.
ProACT have been able to help many people through this process.
but it failed. An advice from the tax office says that they will further update when the system will be ready and confirmed new submission deadlines will be issued then. Meanwhile no 2017 full year tax returns for cyprus can be issued at this time.
We can complete online UK 2017/18 tax returns for our expat clients since 6/4/18 - ask us if you need help.
There is one success. Employers returns can now be submitted online.
Any employer could submit this returns online now. Contact ProACT for help.
Companies have had an annual levy to pay since 2011 of €350 per year.
There is a proposal to remove this tax on business. No vote is taken yet in the cyprus parliament but it could be taken in the next month or so.
If 2018 company levy is not removed then it is payable from June 2018.
Cyprus tax payers cannot submit returns by mid May. The system will catch up.
Meanwhile here's what you should do to keep you Cyprus Tax Returns up to date.
Ensure you are registered online. If you need help registering contact the ProACT office for help.
If you need help submitting the first return ask a tax agent to help you. ProACT offer a low cost online tax return service.
2017 self assessment of tax and the balance must still be paid by end of June 2018. If you think you have a balance to pay. This can be calculated and submitted now. This may involve additional paper returns. Contact us at ProACT for help.
Expats with savings tax should complete and submit a non domicile questionnaire to avoid up to 30% defence levy savings tax on assessment. This will apply to returns for 15 and 16 already submitted but not yet assessed.
From July working expats are liable for the first 2018 temporary tax instalment. There is no evidence of this return and payment being allowed online. But have in mind as the 2018 return is due from July.
Company levy are paid online in june. If it is not removed for 2018 then it is payable in june.
ProACT offer a free review to get you through the transition to online tax returns.

Normally, Spain is number three.

Defence Economics
Defence economics seeks to inform better defence policy through improved resource allocation.
A nation's defence entails the allocation of scarce resources.
At the macro level, a nation has to decide how much money and how many people to devote to its defence.
Within an armed force, decisions have to be made about the allocation of resources to specific military capabilities.
At the micro level, decisions have to be made about the best mix of personnel, equipment and external support to most cost-effectively produce the sought military capability.

The 2012 Goyas Awards / Miguel Iturria Savon
Jose Sacristan – Best Actor
On the night of Sunday the 17th, millions of Spaniards and Europeans watched the Goya Awards ceremony which concede high honors to the top films, actors, directors, and other professionals of the movie world. The gala event, full of pomp, authenticity, and splurges of humor was hosted by the celebrated comedienne, Eva Hache, who was aided in the presentation of awards by winners from the previous year, 2011.
Because of the connection that Spanish cinema shares with the Cuban populace, I offer a summary of the winners for this Twenty-Seventh edition, corresponding to 2012. The films receiving the greatest number of awards were: "Snow White" with 10 statuettes; "The Impossible" (5); "Unit 7″ and the animated feature "Tad the Lost Explorer;" top actor awards went to Maribel Verd, Josí Sacristán, Candela Peía, Joaquin Nuñez, and Concha Velazco, who received the special "Goya de Honor" (highest honor) award.
Detailed recipient list follows:

Run the "check subtraction on pointers for unpriv" test from tools/testing/selftests/bpf/test_verifier.c. The test should pass if the bug is fixed, fail otherwise.
The change could cause a regression in an unprivileged process that is using eBPF. I suspect that this is unlikely. The alternative is to leave a potential security hole open.
The "check subtraction on pointers for unpriv" test from test_verifier succeeds when running under the kernel from bionic-proposed. In fact, all tests in test_verifier pass. Verification is complete.

Megan Thee Stallion and Big Sean sued for copyright infringement over Go Crazy – Music News
Megan Thee Stallion and Big Sean are being sued for copyright infringement over their collaboration Go Crazy.
Detroit music producers Duawn 'Go Hard Major' Payne and Harrell 'H Matic' James have filed a lawsuit against the Hot Girl Summer star and her collaborator over the track, claiming that they "ripped off" their 2012 song Krazy.
They claim that the songs share a "strikingly similar chorus and identical timing and melodic sequence". According to Pitchfork, they argued that Go Crazy is "so strikingly similar to the Copyrighted Work as to preclude the possibility of independent creation".
In the lawsuit, the producers claim they passed Krazy out via CDs across the Detroit area and in the "parking lot of hip-hop clubs in West Detroit frequented by Big Sean" before eventually uploading it to the music industry networking site ReverbNation.
Payne and James are seeking all profits from the song, which appeared on Megan's 2020 album Good News, as well as damages and an order banning them from all future infringement.
Rapper 2 Chainz, who features on Go Crazy, is not listed as a defendant in the lawsuit. Other defendants include 300 Entertainment, Universal Music Publishing, and 1501 Certified Entertainment.
The Savage singer is currently locked in a legal battle of her own with her record label, 1501 Certified Entertainment. They are in disagreement over whether her 2021 compilation Something for Thee Hotties constitutes an album under her contract.

What type of revenue can I expect?
Because the nature of each site is never the same, revenue expectations can vary. During our pre-launch tests on on of our own networks, we saw over five times (in most months, 10 times) the revenue compared to a similar sized banner network.

This was one of the times I had sheer luck to be able to take pictures while partying.
The famous 3000 Grad festival is always a crowd favourite and audio-visually absolutely spectacular.
This was it. My first time working officially for the Elbphilharmonie.
The Salam Syria Festival afterparty inside the Foyer of the "Kleiner Saal" - no, not the huge venue, "just" the small one.
The atmosphere was wonderful, the building still is breathtaking and the music was mostly great too!
It was a fun night and my Leica Q was absolutely perfect for the job.

NHTSA Evaluating Potential Safety Concerns Related To Heating Issue Of Tesla Cars
The report said the heating problems happened even after Tesla early last year replaced faulty sensors in heat pumps in some 2020-2021 Model 3 and Model Y vehicles to address the issue.
| Published: 15-Jan-22 01:07 PM IST
A number of Tesla owners have complained that heat pumps are failing in extreme cold temperatures
The U.S. auto safety regulator said on Friday that it is discussing heating issues of some Tesla vehicles with the automaker and evaluating "potential safety concerns."
A number of Tesla owners have complained that heat pumps are failing in extreme cold temperatures, according to Drive Tesla Canada.
Canada's auto safety regulator has opened an investigation into the heating and cooling system of Tesla Model 3 and Model Y vehicles
The U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said it "is aware of the issue and is continuing to gather information, discuss the issue with Tesla and evaluate potential safety concerns."
Tesla did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.
Canada's auto safety regulator said on Thursday it has opened an investigation into the heating and cooling system of Tesla Model 3 and Model Y vehicles following 16 consumer complaints about its performance during cold weather.
Transport Canada said it is concerned that a malfunctioning heating and air-conditioning system "may affect windshield defogging/defrosting and therefore driver visibility."

Wagner a Met -- 4 years / $43 million
Kirk20
Wagner, Mets agree to four-year, $43 million deal
NEW YORK -- Fresh off announcing the arrival of first baseman Carlos Delgado, the New York Mets struck again Monday, reaching agreement with free-agent closer Billy Wagner on a four-year contract.
Wagner, considered by many the top reliever on the free-agent market, saved 38 games for Philadelphia last season and is a four-time All-Star. The Phillies offered just more than $30 million over three years to retain the 34-year-old left-hander and were prepared to enhance the proposal Monday -- but not increase the length.
"Going to a fourth year as the Mets went to, we didn't feel that comfortable," Phillies general manager Pat Gillick said.
"We were disappointed," Gillick said. "At the same time, you can't say you're shocked or surprised that something like this would happen."
Wagner will be paid $10.5 million for each of the 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009 seasons. There's a club option for 2010, in which the Mets will either pay him $8 million -- bringing the deal to $50 million -- or buy him out for $1 million. Either way, Wagner is guaranteed at least $43 million over four years.

Africa Daily News February 08, 2021
Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje of Kano State
Gov. Abdullahi Ganduje of Kano on Sunday, inaugurated the All Progressives Congress (APC) membership registration and revalidation exercise in the state.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the governor revalidated his membership of the APC at his Ganduje Cikin-Gari ward in Dawakin Tofa local government area of the state.
Ganduje called on members of the party to turn out en masse for the revalidation exercise and encouraged supporters to get registered into the APC family.
He noted that there was need to expand the base of the party in the state.
"The last time the exercise took place was in 2014 and since then we have a few people that left the party and we have so many more that have joined the party.
"The exercise is important as the party was growing due to its performance across the country," he said.
Ganduje added that there was need to register non APC members who voted for the party and have become convinced to join the fold.
He also appreciated leaders and members of the APC in the state for their steadfastness towards the progress of the party .
"I appeal to all stakeholders and party officials to conduct the exercise with all sincerity and in accordance with the guidelines issued by the national headquarters of the party.," Ganduje said.
The party chairman in the state, Alhaji Abdullahi Abbas, said that the exercise would be done at the unit level of the wards.
He said that there were teeming youths who had turned 18 years and were willing to join the party.
Abbas also called on the women and youths in the state to come out en masse to register.
Other party leaders at the inauguration also admonished party members to see the exercise as a call to duty in order to bring an all-round development to the state.

Q: App build crashes when integration_test package is added I have a simple app that selects images from the gallery.
When I added the integration_test package to the app it was working fine in debug mode but the build crashes when I open the image picker.
Here is the implementation:
camera_widget.dart
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:multi_image_picker/multi_image_picker.dart';
import 'package:permission_handler/permission_handler.dart';
class CameraWidget extends StatefulWidget {
@override
_CameraWidgetState createState() => _CameraWidgetState();
}
class _CameraWidgetState extends State<CameraWidget> {
List<Asset> images = <Asset>[];
String _error = 'No error found';
@override
void initState() {
// TODO: implement initState
super.initState();
}
Widget buildGridView(){
return Scaffold(
body: new GestureDetector(
onTap: (){
FocusScope.of(context).requestFocus(new FocusNode());
},
child: GridView.count(crossAxisCount: 4,
children: List.generate(images.length, (index) {
Asset asset = images[index];
return AssetThumb(
asset: asset,
width: 300,
height: 300,
);
}),
),
),
);
}
Future<void> loadAssets() async{
List<Asset> resultList = <Asset>[];
String error = 'No error found';
try{
if(await checkAndRequestCameraPermissions()){
resultList = await MultiImagePicker.pickImages(
maxImages: 3,
enableCamera: true,
selectedAssets: images,
cupertinoOptions: CupertinoOptions(takePhotoIcon: "chat"),
materialOptions: MaterialOptions(
actionBarColor: "#abcdef",
actionBarTitle: "Example",
allViewTitle: "All photos",
useDetailsView: false,
selectCircleStrokeColor: "#000000"
),
);
}
} on Exception catch(e){
error = e.toString();
print(error);
}
if (!mounted) return;
setState(() {
images = resultList;
_error = error;
});
}
Future<bool> checkAndRequestCameraPermissions() async{
PermissionStatus permissionStatus = await Permission.camera.status;
if(permissionStatus != PermissionStatus.granted){
Map<Permission, PermissionStatus> permissions = await [
Permission.camera
].request();
return permissions[Permission.camera] == PermissionStatus.granted;
}
else
return true;
}
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return MaterialApp(
home: Scaffold(
body: SafeArea(
child: Container(
child: Column(
children: [
OutlineButton(
child: Text('Choose image'),
onPressed: loadAssets,
),
Flexible(
child: buildGridView(),
),
]
),
),
),
),
);
}
}
pubspec.yaml
dependencies:
flutter:
sdk: flutter
# The following adds the Cupertino Icons font to your application.
# Use with the CupertinoIcons class for iOS style icons.
cupertino_icons: ^0.1.2
rflutter_alert: ^1.1.0
multi_image_picker: ^4.7.15
permission_handler: ^5.1.0+2
integration_test: ^1.0.2+2
EDIT: After removing the integration_test package the app works fine in both debug and build.
