Q: Reload data of table view subobjec of uiviewcontroller with tableview i've a class SelezionaProfilo, in this class i've a list of players:
@interface SelezionaProfilo : UIViewController < UITableViewDelegate, UITableViewDataSource > {
UITableView *myTableView;
//my staff
}
@property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet UITableView *myTableView;
all works fine.
i've built a subclass SelectPlayerViewController embeded in navigationcontroller, because i want to have a different reaction to push a row:
@interface SelectPlayerViewController : SelezionaProfilo {
all works fine, i've the players list. And i have the different action.
in the SelectPlayerViewController.m i've added a button on navigation bar, add player button that goes to another class in push navigation.
Now the player was created, but when the view come back to SelectPlayerViewController, i can't see the last player.

- (void)viewDidAppear:(BOOL)animated {
[super.myTableView reloadData];
}
i'm sure that enter in this method, but the table doesn't refresh.

Q: Ensure spyOnProperty creates configurable properties with Object.defineProperty In an upgrade to Angular 9 (from 8.1) and Typescript 3.7 (from <3.6), I have encountered an issue with spyOnProperty
My service looks like:
class Backend {
public get baseURL(): string {
return 'http://baseurl.com/';
}
}
My test that worked before the upgrade would spyOnProperty
spyOnProperty(backend, 'baseURL', 'get').and.returnValue('http://new');
However, I am now getting this error:
Error: <spyOnProperty> : baseURL is not declared configurable
Usage: spyOnProperty(<object>, <propName>, [accessType])
I know that I need to Object.defineProperty as configurable: true, as when stepping through Jasmine I see it fails at:
if (!descriptor.configurable) {
throw new Error(
getErrorMsg(propertyName + ' is not declared configurable')
);
}
And descriptor is created by descriptor = Object.getOwnPropertyDescriptor(proto, methodName);
So in Javascript I would want to:
Object.defineProperty(backend.prototpye, 'baseURL', {value: 'http://new', configurable: true});
To ensure that this property could be spied on.
However, my question is how do I apply the same configurable with Typescript. I have tried to run Object.defineProperty again but I get an error defineproperty Cannot redefine property, which makes sense as to why the check is there in the first place.
I tried using the suggested configurable decorator defined here:
function configurable(value: boolean) {
return function (target: any, propertyKey: string, descriptor: PropertyDescriptor) {
descriptor.configurable = value;
};
}
But this does not work, also to note that when I put a breakpoint inside the above method, the descriptor.configurable is actually already set to true before assigning the value. So I am not sure what is actually causing the original error in the tests.
A: I missed some additional information about creating my tests. To create an instance of the injected services I am using, ts-mockito to create an instance() of each class.
I think it was this call to instance() that was creating properties as not configurable.
Effectively:
service = new Service(instance(new Backend));
Changed to:
service = new Service(new Backend);
Resolves the issue

Alisal beats Galt, 3-2, in CIF regional opener Junior forward Angel Amezcua gave the Alisal Trojans the lead in the 53rd minute of the regional soccer playoff opener and they held on for victory. Check out this story on thecalifornian.com: https://www.thecalifornian.com/story/sports/2018/03/07/alisal-trojans-beat-galt-warriors-regional-playoff-opener/391339002/

The sun set over the visiting Galt Warriors' net as the referees blew the game dead. A tense final five minutes for Alisal players, fans and coaches finally finished.
The Trojans won 3-2 in the first round of the CIF Norcal Division II playoffs over the Galt Warriors in their second playoff win at home Tuesday evening. Though the game was a good recovery from their loss in the second round of the CCS Open Division playoffs, it didn't come easily.
The Trojans had trouble offensively in the first half. Galt was fast enough to close gaps in passing lanes and force Alisal to convert fewer short passes. Galt goalkeeper Maico Ortiz constantly shouted for the defense to press up and cut off those short passes.
Unfortunately for the visiting Warriors, pressing up left room for a counterattack.
"We haven't done (a counterattack) as well as we have in the past," Alisal coach Mark Cisneros said. "But I think they pushed up so much and we had an advantage on that. That's what helped us."

Junior Angel Amezcua beat Ortiz as he sprinted towards the net, but his shot in the 10th minute bounced off the left side. The Warriors weren't so lucky in the 25th minute.
Following a corner by the Warriors, senior Jesus Ochoa powered a clearance to the middle of the field. Amezcua corralled it, turned his defender, and flicked the ball across to senior Juan Moya who knocked it into the left corner of the net.
"Getting an early goal allows us to dictate the game, to lure them out a bit," Cisneros said. "And that's what happened and we worked that advantage."
The Trojans kept the ball in the middle of the field on defense to prevent the Warriors from getting the equalizer before halftime. They took a 1-0 lead into the break with momentum on their side.
Alisal had a numbers advantage on a run early in the second half and scored the go-ahead goal in the 44th minute. Senior Carlos Pacheco scored in the center of the penalty area to push the lead to 2-0.
But the Trojans wouldn't have the momentum for long, as Galt responded a minute later with a goal of their own to cut the deficit to 2-1. The Warriors were on the attack for the next 10 minutes and had two shots on goal. Both were blocked and the lead stayed 2-1.

Amezcua took a through ball down the left side and powered it to the right corner of the net in the 53rd minute to give the Trojans a 3-1 advantage. A yellow card was given to senior Everardo Garcia a minute later to give the Warriors a free kick. Junior Angel Lopez connected for Galt to make it a one-score game again.
Galt continued to press the attack in the second half and rarely allowed a clearance by Alisal's defense to get much farther than midfield until the final 15 minutes.
Jose Trejo nearly had another goal for the Trojans in the 71st minute as he beat the defense down the right side. A pass fake couldn't unsettle Galt's keeper and he snatched Trejo's shot. Galt's final attempt at a corner went wide right and the Trojans won the first game of the regional tournament.
Preparation for the game included more mental focus for the team following the loss in the CCS Open Division playoffs to Burlingame.
"The talk all week is we got to stay mentally strong, we got to stay focused, we got to stay centered," Cisneros said. "We had (Pebble Beach Golf Academy founder) Laird Small come in to talk to the boys last week. He came in and showed some tricks to the boys to stay mentally tough. It didn't show up against Burlingame but I saw it tonight."
The Trojans will host the Norcal Regional Semifinals Thursday at 4 p.m.

Montgomery Scott in 2369
"Relics" is the 129th episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation, the fourth episode of the show's sixth season. It originally aired during the week of 13 October 1992.
The USS Enterprise-D picks up a distress call from the USS Jenolan, a transport vessel that has been missing for seventy-five years. As the Enterprise drops out of warp to respond to the signal, the starship is rocked violently by a massive gravitational field. They trace the field to its center and discover a massive spherical structure. The sphere's dimensions are consistent with those of the (until then) theoretical structure known as a Dyson sphere. The sphere's size creates massive gravimetric interference that interferes with sensors, preventing the Enterprise from locating it before the ship had dropped out of warp.
The Enterprise locates the Jenolan, having crashed on the surface of the sphere. Surprisingly, power readings are still emanating from the crashed ship and life support systems are still operating. Commander Riker, Lt. Cmdr. La Forge and Lt. Worf beam aboard the Jenolan and find that, although some of the ship's systems are still functioning, there are no apparent signs of life. However, La Forge discovers that the transporters have been reconfigured in a strange manner – power has been drawn from the auxiliary systems (they were a regenerative power source) while the rematerialization subroutines have been intentionally disabled, with the phase inducers being connected to the emitter array and the pattern buffers locked in a diagnostic cycle. Furthermore, a pattern is still in the buffer and, amazingly, it has suffered almost no degradation. Riker wonders if someone could survive in the transporter buffer for 75 years and La Forge finds out by rematerializing the stored pattern. Captain Montgomery "Scotty" Scott materializes on the transporter pad.
Did You Know that the episode "Deja Q" was originally about a looming Klingon-Federation war that was caused by Q, who had "faked" his loss of powers, only to later come in to become the hero?

The true cost of malaria – how to make the Asia-Pacific malaria free by 2030
Clark, Geoffrey (2017) The true cost of malaria – how to make the Asia-Pacific malaria free by 2030. Asia and the Pacific Policy Society - Policy Forum, 24 November 2017.
[Extract] Strengthening a country's health system is one of the best ways to invest in human and economic development. For the Asia-Pacific, eliminating malaria is a particularly prudent investment, Geoff Clark writes.
The link between the health of a society and the strength of its economy is clear. As documented in the influential report Global health 2035: a world converging within a generation, the returns on investing in health are impressive.
Reductions in mortality account for about 11 per cent of recent economic growth in low-income and middle-income countries, as measured in their national income accounts. Between 2000 and 2011, about 24 per cent of the growth in full income in low-income and middle-income countries resulted from the value of additional life years gained.

Simon Cowell won't see Lauren Silverman 'until things calm down'
August 13, 2013 - 11:45 BST hellomagazine.com Simon Cowell won't see pregnant Lauren Silverman 'until things calm down'. The music mogul has just started his month-long holiday in the south of France, where he has been joined by friends including Sinitta
Simon Cowell has taken a break from the ongoing drama in his private life by setting sail on a summer holiday. The music mogul, who is expecting his first child with still-married Lauren Silverman, has retreated to the South of France for a vacation.

"It's obvious that the drama between Lauren and (her husband) Andrew that involved Simon, makes him a bit upset," a source told People, adding that he has been in contact with the pregnant 36-year-old since her divorce turned sour, but "won't see Lauren in person until things calm down".
"He cares about her and has been checking in on her and the baby," the insider revealed. "He still encourages Lauren to quickly figure things out with Andrew so they can move forward with their divorce."
The source also confirmed that "Simon still has no plans to move in with Lauren" but says that the X Factor judge, who has several properties in Beverly Hills, "can put Lauren in one of them (when he's working in LA) so he can spent time with his baby."
Joining the father-to-be on his month-long annual cruise of the Mediterranean is his former flame Sinitta. Simon is also being accompanied by Kelly Bergantz, a top TV executive at Syco and a close friend, as well as her sister Jamie, the Mail reports.
On Monday, the group soaked up the sun in the French Riviera on board a £50million Slipstream yacht, and Simon was pictured riding the waves on a jet-ski.
He has kept a low-profile in the two weeks since it emerged that Lauren is expecting his baby. Then, on 1 August, he attended an X Factor press conference in Los Angeles, where he addressed the news for the first time.
"There are a lot of things I will eventually clear up when the time is right," Simon told reporters. "I really have to be sensitive here because there are a lot of people's feelings involved."
The press conference came hours after it emerged that Lauren's husband Andrew has cited Simon in his divorce papers, accusing his wife of adultery with the British millionaire.
It was recently reported that the two men have come face-to-face for the first time since the scandal broke. Simon is believed to have met up with Andrew in New York just before catching his flight back to Europe.
They are said to have secretly convened at the Francis S Gabreski airport in Westhampton Beach, where they spent three hours clearing the air.

Das Nederlands Openluchtmuseum ist ein Freilichtmuseum bei Arnhem (Niederlande). Es bietet einen Überblick über das Leben in den Niederlanden in den vergangenen 350 Jahren. Das Museum hat also nur teilweise einen regionalen Bezug. Es liegt im Norden von Arnheim gleich neben Burgers' Zoo.
Geschichte
1912 taten sich einige Arnheimer zusammen, um die von der fortschreitenden Industrialisierung bedrohte Vielfalt der ländlichen Traditionen der Niederlande zu bewahren. Sie begannen mit dem Wiederaufbau des Landgutes de Waterberg. 1918 wurde das Museum mit den ersten sechs Häusern eröffnet.
Im Zweiten Weltkrieg dienten einige Häuser Widerstandskämpfern und Evakuierten als Obdach. Im Laufe der Kampfhandlungen wurden mehrere Häuser zerstört und wertvolle Sammlungen alter Trachten und Möbel wurden zerstört.
1987 drohte dem Museum wegen Besuchermangels die Schließung. Seitdem bemüht man sich erfolgreich um lebendige Präsentation. Ein Höhepunkt dieser Entwicklung war 1996 die Einweihung der Straßenbahn. Daneben gibt es Ausstellungen zum Beispiel über die Molukken.
2005 wurde das Nederlands Openluchtmuseum zum europäischen Museum des Jahres ernannt.
Gebäude
Im größten und ältesten niederländischen Freilichtmuseum sind etwa 80 Häuser zu besichtigen. Neben mehreren Bauernhöfen und Katen aus allen Teilen des Landes sind verschiedene Werkstätten und Betriebe (unter anderen eine Dampfmolkerei, eine Werft und eine Brauerei), eine Kirche von Zeeland und eine kleine Stadt mit Kaufmannshäusern, Tante-Emma-Laden und Grachten zu besichtigen. Zwischen den einzelnen Häusergruppen fährt eine Straßenbahn, wie sie vor dem Zweiten Weltkrieg in Arnheim verkehrte.
In der Hauptsaison sind viele Häuser bewohnt und die Betriebe werden bewirtschaftet. Mehrere Gaststätten sind geöffnet. Auf einem Kinderbauernhof können Kinder das Landleben vor hundert Jahren nachvollziehen.
Im so genannten Hollandrama gab es die Geschichte der Niederlande interaktiv nachzuerleben. Dabei wird der Zuschauerraum in Richtung verschiedener Einrichtungsräume gedreht. Der letzte Betrieb fand 2015 statt.

Pleasure does not have to have fun even some people said, the experience of pleasure while being a life lesson in itself.
Indeed, a lot of things that can be learned during pleasure. For example, in managing finances, how the budget has been prepared in order to make ends meet during the trip.
Not infrequently, take a trip requires you to be more creative and bring more body moving. Especially when choosing a pleasure to do outdoor activities.
Here are some side benefits of doing pleasure that may unwittingly have happened also to yourself.
Pleasure to help relax the tight rutunitas recover from daily. Not infrequently pleasure also provide knowledge -opening experience new things.
While the emotional aspects of yourself, take a trip to help develop personal and social self. Because the time to take a trip often requires a lot of interaction with the local community.
When choosing a vacation by doing outdoor activities and mingle with nature like playing on the beach or up a mountain, may be you will find personal pleasure in yourself.
Feel the breeze, hot sun, the sound of the sea, even the adorable animals that may be found during the trip. Unwittingly find yourself as freedom of nature.
Family is the most important thing in life. For families with working parents, it is often difficult to have quality time with children. Holiday is a moments that can reassemble the entire family.
Certainly often you really want to go to many places at once and then do the holiday linger. But apparently encountered problems due to inadequate time and cost. At that time, ultimately you have to decide what will be your priorities on holiday. Which is suitable for the purpose in accordance with the conditions approached financial and emotional needs of the moment himself. At that time also, you will be a lot of learning to manage finances by reducing the costs incurred are less important during the holidays.
If you go to a new area, one of the surprising effect is the difference in language. Different language when found often make awkward.
Dare to open your mouth and say good by practicing the local language. If you are abroad, you remove the ability of a foreign language. Do not be afraid of saying the wrong. Very reasonable if there is one or two sentences spoken from your mouth wrong. Starting from these mistakes, you will learn a lot unleash your language skills.

View Full Version : Experience with Cyberpower?
Anyone have experience buying a computer from Cyberpower? In general, were you satisfied? When they say "major brand" do they really mean it? When they mention a specific brand for an extra charge (such as Mushkin or EVGA) is it worth the additional cost? I'm a bit sceptical because I've never thought of their extra cost brands as being much more than average.
Never heard of any of it, sorry.
I've checked them out before along with ibuypower. The words major brand got me a little worried. I like to know what I'm getting. As for the memory, one of the sites was selling memory with heat spreaders(to dissapate heat faster)can't remember which one though. That memory is usually higher priced, maybe that's what mushkin,evga memory is, even if they're not, mushkin is a little higher in price than other brands. Don't know about evga.
EVGA is an excellent company. I have one of their motherboards and their NVIDA 8800GTS cards. Both pieces of hardware are very stable.
I've never heard about Cyberpower eaither, but their reseller ratings are excellent. I have Crucial memory with the heat spreaders on them. It's worth the extra cost because RAM gets pretty warm in the new systems.

Home Industry Energy TAQA, Etisalat Digital unite for advanced metering infrastructure project
TAQA, Etisalat Digital unite for advanced metering infrastructure project
Wed, 12 Jan, 2022 By Shilpa Annie Joseph, Desk Reporter
Abu Dhabi National Energy Company (TAQA), one of the region's largest integrated firms, has partnered with Etisalat Digital, the subsidiary of Etisalat, for the advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) initiative to improve the emirate's utility metering.
Over the next two years, TAQA's power and water distribution companies, Abu Dhabi Distribution Company (ADDC) and Al Ain Distribution Company (AADC), will collaborate with Etisalat Digital to deploy the communication network and an advanced Internet of Things (IoT) platform for AMI.
According to the statement, this helps to unlock the capability of existing and new smart meters installed in customer homes and businesses.
TAQA said that "it has already started the journey towards the connectivity of its advanced metering infrastructure with more than 30 percent of the smart meters in Abu Dhabi already connected." This partnership will bring the connection across the UAE capital to 100 percent.

Transmission & Distribution TAQA
"Our agreement with Etisalat Digital is a significant moment for customers facing businesses. Once complete, it will ensure higher efficiency standards for our customers and contribute to the digitalization of our infrastructure, accelerating operational improvements and smart grid readiness. The investment in this contract is also a step towards delivering on our Group strategy which included investing an additional $10 billion (AED40 billion) in our UAE-based transmission and distribution business by 2030."
Unlike traditional meters, smart meters with enhanced connectivity capabilities can provide consumers with detailed automatic readings of their current and historical energy usage, helping them to better understand and control their usage.
As per the statement, such infrastructure serves as the foundation which will allow future demand-side management programs. Furthermore, these meters will pave the way toward intelligent grid objectives such as monitoring capacity and outage management.
"We are pleased to collaborate with TAQA to support its digital transformation initiatives through the use of advanced technologies with the vision to develop and onboard new uses cases using innovative technologies such as 5G, Internet of Things, and AI," said Mr. Salvador Anglada, CEO at Etisalat Digital.

Top 5 breweries in Pune - CHOMP! SLURRP! BURP!
Freshly brewed beer is largely the reason I owe my fondness to a cold one. While Gurgaon is flooded with breweries, the beer more often than normal is quite inconsistent. Like I mentioned when I last visited Pune, I had missed out on Independence Brewing Co. for their much-famed beer. The IT city's brewery count is on the rise and how. Independence Brewing Co. expanding to Baner's High Street and Bangalore's Toit making its debut. Here is a list of Top 5 breweries in Pune.
Unlike the complimentary tasters back home, you actually have to pay for the 100 mL pours in Pune. The newly opened Independence Brewing Co. at Balewadi High Street has a groovy vibe. Pouring with jibe till the wee hours, they serve some great brews. Blackberry Pie, Passion Pie, Saison, Lager and more. Also a must try are their butter garlic mushrooms.
The much-famed brewery from Bangalore recently made its debut in Pune. Quite close-by to the airport, Toit is huge. Bright, popping colours, indoors and outdoors. An extensive range of 6 brews are available at Toit, you can also ask your server for house specials. The Belgian WitBier was fruity, crisp and with a lot of citrus notes. Perfect for a summer's day. The food is quite passable, barring the burger.
Effingut is one of the oldies of Pune. Located in the posh KP, and Baner, Effingut houses the four basic brews. They pride in their craft brews, ranging from light and pale Ales to bitter stouts.
This beauty right here, this legendary glass of Craft Beer, needs no introduction. Hefeweizen is a brewtiful combination of banana and clove flavours produced because of the by-products left during the fermentation process. Yeast never forgets if you're good to it. You feed it, you nurture it, you take care of it and it will reward you with all sorts of magic. That's why the 'Hefe' part of the name refers to the beauty that is Brewer's Yeast. Give this legendary craft brew a try the next time you come in.
Located inside the Resort and Club, Corinthian, this one is literally in the lap of nature and luxury. The 1st Brewhouse overlooks larger than life equestrian statues and green lushes. They offer five house brews including their much famed IPA.
Delhi has a long way to go when it comes to fresh brews, Pune is quite there. I am yet to try the much talked about Bangalore brews, but Pune was good this time. It was really good. My favourite, Independence Brewing Co. not just for their beer, but for what was the coolest vibe.

Disney Dish Episode 184: An in-depth look at Disney World's new date-based ticket pricing system
Stewart Talbot
Julie Pare
Len Testa & Jim Hill starts off this episode by talking about how Disney World finally officially announcing that long-rumored DVC which will be built where Fort Wilderness' River Country was once located. After that, Len & Jim then discuss WDW's new date-based ticket pricing system (which debuted on October 16th). They then share new information about the Marvel superhero-themed land that's being built at Disney California Adventure Park.
And includes:
* How Disney Parks & Resorts is containing costs at Disney's Hollywood Studio by creeping in the operating hours of various attractions & cutting back on the number of streetmosphere performers at that theme park
* What the concept art for "Reflections: A Disney Lakeside Resort" & that new 15-story tower at Disney's Coronado Springs Resort says about the future of the Walt Disney World Resort
* The role that the Wizarding World of Harry Potter played in Disney's decision to build "industry-leading immersive lands" like Pandora: The World of Avatar & Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge
* How Disney World's new date-based ticket pricing system will help WDW determine how to properly staff its theme parks on certain days
* Why it probably would have been wise for Walt Disney World to hold off a week or so before revealing that they'd raised the price to park at this Resort's theme parks
* What the Marvel superhero-themed "land" that's being currently built in Anaheim will have in common with DLP's Walt Disney Studios Park

Remember that new Creed album that the reunited rock band planned to put out last year? It turns out that you"re not the only one that"s curious about what happened. So is Creed"s lead singer, Scott Stapp.
Liane Bonin Starr and I interviewed Stapp on Thursday (24) about his new solo album, "Proof Of Life," out Nov. 5 for our podcast, CulturePop. When I asked how the album was going, he expressed his befuddlement at how his bandmates had stepped away from it.
A little back story: Creed, which has sold more than 40 million albums, broke up in 2004, in part due to the difficulties the other band members were having with Stapp. Stapp went on his way and the rest of the band-Mark Tremonti, Brian Marshall, and Scott Phillips- created Alter Bridge, with new vocalist Myles Kennedy. In 2009, after Stapp got sober, Creed reformed, and released "Full Circle," its first album in eight years.
Things seemed to be going fine and the group started working on a follow-up and toured together.
Instead, much to Stapp"s surprise, Tremonti worked on a solo album, which came out earlier this year, and the rest of the band recorded a new Alter Bridge record, which came out earlier this month.
Alter Bridge is in Europe right now, according to the band"s publicist, who is trying to get a comment from Tremonti. However, in 2012, Tremonti told Billboard, "We got together with Scott and put together a handful of songs and got the arrangements and melodic ideas in place, and now it's kind of in Scott's lap to finish off he lyrics and track some demos so we can move on to the next batch," Tremonti reports. So far, he says, Creed has "a good mix…It's got one more radio-friendly type song, one rocking tune, one of the more drawn-out, finger-picked, long, five-minute kind of songs — just a little bit of everything people have heard in the past." He added that the band had not set any "timetables" for release.
This August, Tremonti told Billboard that when he is songwriting, it is usually pretty obvious to him if a tune is a solo turn or for Alter Bridge or for Creed, so it sounds like he still considers Creed an ongoing concern.

Damien Echols Of The West Memphis 3 Reveals What He Did After Being Released From Death Row (VIDEO)
Damien Echols appeared on a segment for HuffPost Live on Thursday to discuss his new book, "Life After Death" and the documentary "West of Memphis," along with director Amy Berg.
Host Ricky Camilleri discussed what life post-prison has been like for Echols, and what he wanted to do after being released.
"The very first thing that I wanted to do – I used to say, if these people don't kill me, whenever I get out of here, this is what I want to do. And the very first thing on the list was go see a Boston Red Sox game," Echols said.
"I love the Red Sox. I got to sit on top of the Green Monster. I got to sit in the owner's box. I got to sit right behind home plate. I got to meet Theo Epstein, the whole team. My favorite player at the time was Jonathan Papelbon, and I was just going to ask him, 'will you sign this baseball?' And he says 'Well, I've got something better.' And he goes to his locker and gets out a game-worn jersey and signs it and gives it to me."

El 19è Saló Internacional del Còmic de Barcelona es va celebrar entre el dijous 3 i el diumenge 6 de maig de 2001 a l'Estació de França.
A diferència de les edicions precedents, el Saló d'enguany no va comptar amb cap exposició central o línia temàtica específica sinó que es va limitar a oferir les cinc habituals exposicions dedicades als autors guanyadors de l'edició precedent. Així, l'exposició principal va esdevenir la retrospectiva dedicada a l'artista Max, autor guardonat amb el Gran Premi del Saló en el darrer certamen. Amb Max com a protagonista, la 19a edició va esdevenir un homenatge als anys 1980 i la major part dels acters programats fou dedicat a revisar obres, tendències i autors de l'època. El lliurament del Gran Premi del Saló a Nazario, un altre exponent del còmic underground nacional dels anys 1980, va acabar de confirmar aquesta tendència.
El Saló va comptar amb 150 estands entre grups editorials, editors, llibreries, distribuidores de vídeo, fanzines i altres empreses del sector. També va oferir diferents espais lúdics, com un espai infantil o un taller de còmic.
Pel que fa als premis, en línia amb l'edició precedent, el Saló continuà a lliurar els guardons escollits pel públic, en les categories de manga, còmic eròtic, còmic de superherois i a la millor revista sobre còmics.
Cartell
El cartell de la 19a edició del Saló del Còmic fou il·lustrat per Albert Monteys, nominat a la Millor Obra amb Para ti que eres joven en la darrera edició del Saló. El cartell és una pàgina de còmics dividida en 15 vinyetes. En elles, es veuen diferents parts d'un pla general d'un home que corre cap al Saló.
Exposicions
Exposicions dedicades als guanyadors de l'edició precedent
Exposició monogràfica dedicada a Max. Exposició de la polifacètica obra de Max, guanyador del Gran Premi del Saló de 2000. L'exposició, dividida en cinc apartats, mostra les diverses etapes creatives de l'autor underground. Una primera part mostra l'època més underground (de 1973 a 1980). Un altre apartat exposa il·lustracions per a llibres infantils. Una altra secció mostrà il·lustracions per a discos, cartells o a Clam, la mascota del centenari del FC Barcelona, entre d'altres. També un altre apartat mostrà les seves darreres creacions, amb Bardín, el superrealista.
Invitats
Entre els autors convidats que havien confirmat la seva assistència hi havia Peter Bagge, Tanino Liberatore, Carlos Pacheco, Vittorio Giardino i Dave Gibbons.

Superdry sales drop as rescue plan slashes discounts
Julian Dunkerton has promised to turn around the company since being re-appointed as chief executive in April.
Julian Dunkerton promised a turnaround after returning to head Superdry in April (SuperGroup/PA)
By August Graham, PA City Reporter
Superdry co-founder Julian Dunkerton still has kinks to hammer out as the business took a big hit to revenue while he bids to turn its fortunes around.
https://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/business/uk-world/superdry-sales-drop-as-rescue-plan-slashes-discounts-38670335.html
https://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/business/uk-world/4add0/38670334.ece/AUTOCROP/h342/bpanews_5f6e3cfc-5a46-4105-aa52-769a38350b18_1
Mr Dunkerton, who rejoined the firm in April after some time away, oversaw a 11.7% revenue drop in the first half of the financial year.
But it is all part of a turnaround plan, Mr Dunkerton said, as his sights remain set on rehabilitating Superdry's battered share price.
Shares bought for more than £20 three years ago are worth less than a quarter of that today.
We are making good progress with the start to our turnaround plan for Superdry, returning the business to its design led roots Julian Dunkerton, chief executive
Revenue was hit as the company slashed its reliance on getting customers through the door with discounts. Today 70% of its sales are made at full price, against 52% in the first half of last year.
This has helped Superdry push up its margins by 3.2 percentage points, which could boost the bottom line.
"We are moving the business away from a reliance on constant promotions, and while this focus on full price sales has affected revenue in the first half, this is being partially offset by a better gross margin performance," Mr Dunkerton said.
The founder embarked on a two to three-year turnaround plan earlier this year after returning to head Superdry.
The 54-year-old left the company he helped set up while he was going through a divorce, and returned to the family tradition of making cider.
His re-appointment came after a bloody six-month battle with the board and then chief executive Euan Sutherland, who Mr Dunkerton ousted in April. The whole board resigned in protest to his re-engagement by the business.
He came back to Superdry, angered by a price drop that had wiped some £200 million off the value of the shares he held in the company.
The founder hit out at board members who he claimed were unable to understand Superdry, and has promised sweeping changes since taking charge.
"We are making good progress with the start to our turnaround plan for Superdry, returning the business to its design led roots. We have always said it will take," Mr Dunkerton said on Thursday.
The changes have meant falling sales, but the rate of decline slowed to 9.4% in the second quarter, versus 13.9% in the year before.
Even online, which has been a bright spot for many struggling retailers, sales fell by 10.5% in the half year.
Shares rose 6% to 450p.

Prince's secretive $10 million estate is about to open as a museum
Leanna Garfield
Prince.
Paisley Park — Prince's famed and highly secretive studio complex — will officially be turned into a museum for his fans, following a unanimous vote by the Chanhassen City Council on October 24.
Tours will begin October 28, and tickets are now on sale for tours through December, according to Billboard. The museum is expected to draw an estimated 600,000 people each year.

Few people had the privilege of visiting the $10 million Minnesota estate while Prince was alive, except for the rare shows or parties he threw there.
Stretching 65,000 square feet, Paisley Park served as the late singer's home, and included studios where he would record music. The decor is an extension of Prince's glam style, and will appear almost identical to the way it looked when he lived there. The complex is also thought to contain unreleased recordings.
After Prince's death in April, there was uncertainty about what kind of access the public might get to Paisley Park. The estate was set to open for a few weeks of tours beginning October 6, but the Chanhassen City Council said they need more time to consider the plan because of concerns about traffic, parking, and public safety. All but three days of the tours were cancelled just a few days before they were set to start.
Following the council's recent decision, Paisley Park will become a place where Prince fans can worship his legacy. Admission will cost either $38.50 or $100, depending if visitors want guided tours. The museum is slated to remain open indefinitely — for now. Prince did not leave a will, so his estate is currently tied up in legal battles over who will split his millions.

2. Have you ever been staff. Name Sites(If you can it won't count against you if you cant.): I'm a administrator on "destinctionx.org" I've been a mod and admins and co-owners on a lot of servers, but it was a good 2-3 years ago. my current staff ranks are on destinctionx.
3. Why should we pick you? I'm not just a 14 year old, but i use logical abilities to experience my social ways to the community, and i like to get involved in certain stuff. Instead of fully customizing a price guide, i'm asking for a judgmental help from the community its self, so we can all agree on the prices. I like to help players, but the real purpose of a moderator is to moderate in-game conflicts/ future reflecting conflicts. as i said, "Moderator = Moderation of the community in which the rank is held in."
4. What are you going to to help forums if we pick you? I will be a daily active poster, and post weekly guides at most, and i'm currently in charge of the un-official price guide.
5. Do you get along with staff? ( If not who is it that you dont get along with and why?): Yes, from what i see it seems that i am good with all the staff, not resulting into any conflicts.
6. How long have you been posting on fourms?: I've been posting since my Register date. 10-21-2012.
7. How often do you post on fourms?: When i get a moderator status it occurs to me that i need to be ore active on the forums just to support the community, as it is.
8. Do you swear/curse alot?: I don't swear/curse often, but when someone excessively annoys me, and after i gave him the answer, or if i warned him, and he excessively keeps doing what he is doing, then i tend to curse, due to annoyance.
EXTRA: I am applying for a moderator position.
EXTRA: I will also be releasing new rules, and policy's to improve game play for the community. That is when i receive a moderator, because i can't make legal rules towards the server until i have the position/rank that allows me to.

Q: Can I install nasm and run .asm codes on Windows Subsystem Linux(WSL) for Ubuntu terminal on windows? I've been avoiding to dual boot my new Laptop to use Ubuntu yet, and I've got some assembly codes to be run in the nasm. I recently stumbled upon this Ubuntu terminal for Windows, so my question is: can I install the nasm package and run .asm codes in this terminal?
Edit: The .asm code is being compiled (I wrote the "Hello World" code as a test) with the following steps:
*
*nasm -f elf64 filename.asm
*ld -o filename filename.o
*./filename
There is no output on the terminal, as it should display Hello World.
Here's the code for reference:
section .data
msg db "Hello World"
msglen equ $-msg
section .text
global _start
_start:
mov rax,1
mov rdi,1
mov rsi,msg
mov rdx,msglen
mov rax,60
mov rdx,0
syscall
A: You skipped a syscall in your code!
The syscall in the last line is used to exit the program. However, to display the string, you have to make another syscall after you fill the rax, rdi, rsi, and rdx registers.
The correct code is given below:
section .data
msg db "Hello World", 10
msglen equ $-msg
section .text
global _start
_start:
mov rax,1
mov rdi,1
mov rsi,msg
mov rdx,msglen
syscall
mov rax,60
mov rdx,0
syscall
I have also added a "new line" (ASCII decimal code 10) to the end of your string, so that a new line is displayed after Hello World string.

held in Gibbs Room at 7:30pm
Present Liz Little (Chair) Peter Gatenby (Secretary), Pauline Rowe (Treasurer), Gerald Burridge, Ian Chalk, Chris Inge, David Vincent, Gerry Cox, Nancy Alcock, David Browne, and Diana Wagstaffe
Action by:
Apologies for absence. Had been received from Hope Mayne.
Approval of Minutes of 19th July 2018 The Minutes were approved and signed by the Chair as a true record of Proceedings.
Matters Arising from Minutes of 19th July 2018
DV advised they now had a quote for the LED lights for the main hall. They would be a simple replacement, they would not be dimmable as this would involve extra wiring. DV and IC would be assisting Dave Harris to do the work LL advised the costs were LED lights £1854 and labour at £180 for a day. Dave Harris thought they could do the work in one day. (Gerry Cox {to be treasurer from AGM in November} confirmed there were sufficient funds to go ahead with this work See Item 7 Work Plan Update)
Approval of Minutes of Special Meeting on 13th September 2018 The Minutes were approved and signed by the Chair as a record of Proceedings.
Matters Arising from Minutes of 13th September.
GB raised the matter of keeping Trustees informed particularly in relation to work undertaken by Sub Committees and in this case not being advised that a sub-committee had been set up. After further discussion it was agreed that some of the work had been highlighted in the Works Plan. However, it was agreed by the Secretary his minutes as long ago as January 25th 2018 should have been expanded at paragraph 5 to show the persons listed LL CI DV and IC were not only going to attend to work in the Gibbs room after fitment of the LED lights in that room, but that they constituted a Sub-Committee which would consider the whole matter of sustainable energy as it may affect the Hall. Furthermore, more proactive communication should have been made between meetings to ensure Trustees were kept in the picture and would thus have an opportunity to comment on matters before any scheme of action was presented to the Trustees. The subsequent minutes should also have made clear what investigations or proposals they had considered before presenting the Trustees with the scheme of Photovoltaic cells and a Heat Source Pump.
LL advised that the final bill for fitting the Photovoltaic cells was a little higher than they had anticipated because the VAT was levied at 20% rather than 5%. This reduced level had been withdrawn some 2 years ago. However, the good news was that we were generating more electricity than anticipated and even the cells on the west side produced electricity before the sun got around to that side. The meeting on the 14th October to outline the work and benefits of "Green Henton" (Henton Hall Limited) to local residents of both Henton and Wookey went well. The installation of the Air Source Heat Pump would begin on 5th November. Initially they would only be working overhead above the Gibbs Room and Kitchen, but for two days on 14th and 15th November they would be fitting extra radiators in the Rose Hall and thus this would cause disruption and may mean that any users who normally use the hall on these dates would need to make alternative arrangements or cancel their meeting. NA said they had a Speaker coming on Wednesday 14th for WI meeting. It was agreed they could use the Gibbs room, but there would not be any heating so would need to bring electric heaters.
GB was again concerned the Trustees had been presented with agreeing to something that was already "in motion". DV explained that the dates had only been agreed 2 days beforehand and he was concerned not to upset our key user "Headway" and thus Tuesday and Friday were out. They would need two days to carryout the work. He could change the dates, but the same issues to Users would arise. A show of hands indicated most trustees felt the work should go ahead, despite the disruption, on the dates DV had agreed with the supplier. DB echoed the remarks of GB above about lack of previous notice to the Trustees of actions affecting the Hall. He appreciated many hours of work had been done by the Sub Committee to get these matters thus far, but actual minuting of such actions or keeping trustees informed before a meeting where a decision may be needed was often absent.
Treasurers Report including Report and Accounts for year ending 31 August 2018
PR advised that she had now transferred the £1,500 on deposit to the Lloyds current account and had also had an acknowledgement that we would get the monies from the Secure Trust Fund in December of about £12,100. The delay was due to our being on a 90day notice period which of course meant we had been getting a better rate of interest.
As far as the Accounts for the year ending 31 August 2018 were concerned, regrettably they did not yet balance being out by £202.82. Despite being rather unwell, she had spent many hours hunting for the elusive error or extra item, but she would have to spend more time when she felt better to deal with the matter. However, it was pleasing to note the fees from Users had risen by about £2,500 above last year.
PR was also concerned by emails she had received saying she should refund the Bar licence fee for this years' Harvest Supper. LL said such emails should be sent and dealt with by her. There was some discussion on Bar licence fees and whether the Church should get this free as well as the Booking for the Fete and Harvest supper. PR advised that she had been informed by Peter Hardy the previous Treasurer that they only got the booking fees waived.
LL said thanks should be recorded for all the work Pauline Rowe had done over the years and particularly lately with the number of extra matters arising from Green Henton. The trustees echoed their thanks.
Work Plan Update. LL advised the person who might have been able to deal with refurbishing the small tables kept in the Gibbs Room had decided not to proceed with the work. The censor in the Ladies Toilet had been fitted and thus stopped these lights from being left on.
Other items that needed attention were the double doors to the Gibbs room which needed widening by a few inches to allow the Piano to be wheeled into the Hall. PG advised from pictures he had during building of the Hall, all the double doors would seem to be the same size and he had a picture of the fire doors in the Rose Hall which showed the lintel should be wide enough to allow the few inches to be taken off the wall to allow the fitting of a larger door. DV said he could check by using a drill to find the position of the hard-concrete lintel. The question of the 3rd Disabled space was raised; John Alcock with DV could do the work once the site of the space was determined. (To be next to existing space by ramp to upper CP) The work for the creation of a small slope up to the area in front of the main doors, to allow wheelchairs to get to the exit slope in case of fire, was in hand. The hardcore required had already been obtained. LL was looking for possible funds such as TESCO as it was intended to have planters and make the area look attractive. Thanks, were offered to IC for his efforts in setting up the key safes these were working well; indeed, the Caretakers duties had diminished as a result. (LL reported that at moment Jo Waterman the Caretaker was in Yeovil Hospital, having had a relapse in her health which was worrying.)
GC said looking at the accounts he felt all the works mentioned in particular the LED lights in the Rose Hall could go ahead. Going forward it would help to put a rough cost against the items, so a budget could be established and then the accounts manged accordingly as income came in over the year. LL advised that as we would be considering matters such as fee levels at the July meeting to be ready to issue the Regular Users their contracts from 1st September. In future it made sense to review and consider a budget for the following year at that meeting.
LL said the Works plan was coming a little confusing and after the AGM the matters completed would be removed in the meantime she would update and reissue shortly.
Brief Report on the Community Council of Somerset Training Day.
PG advised there had been two main topics discussed. First was Safeguarding and Henton had our Safeguarding policy in place, as well as our Hiring Agreement highlighting the fact that Users should be careful when dealing with children, young people or vulnerable adults. The policy is available for scrutiny and a copy is kept in the Blue folder in the Foyer.
Second was Fire Risk Assessment. This session went into considerable detail. Two aspects were noted flammable materials, how and where stored and; "Is the Building Sum Assured sufficient?" PG said for Insurance he would consider whether there is need of an assessment by an Expert. The Sum Insured had just been increased by inflation each year. Obviously, it was in the Insurance company's interest to have such inflation increases correct, but after 20 years we could be "drifting" from an appropriate figure.
Finally, PG was able to show the certificates that we had achieved Hallmark 1, 2 and 3. These would be placed in the Foyer.
LL was concerned about the difficulty in getting at items in the store Room. It did appear one of the Short Mat Bowls metal cabinets was basically empty and could go. As far as flammable materials were concerned there are apparently a lot of WI records and these could go off to The Heritage Centre at Taunton who provide a depository for such material.
LL said several people currently had knowledge of how to do certain jobs such as Polishing the Hall Floor or setting the Heating clock timer. In due course these should be written up and placed in a folder on Google Drive.
GB raised the matter of whether we needed extra or more regular meetings (This should have been an Agenda Item). LL said once we have had the AGM and reviewed the Works plan then at the January meeting we could decide if further meetings were needed. At the Moment meetings in January, April, July, October and AGM in November should be sufficient, but by January we will have a better idea of what still needs doing and be better able to Judge the need for extra meetings.
Funds were being raised by The Ring of Bells in Wookey for Defibrillator including one for the Hall.
LL advised that there were in theory funds available from the Hinkley point Community Fund where the building of the new Reactor Hinkley "C" had an adverse effect on a community from say additional traffic. While it was felt the amount of traffic down the B3139 had increased providing proof it was due to Hinkley was quite difficult.
Dates of next Meetings for 2018: The AGM to be on Thursday 29th November followed by Short Trustees meeting.

"There were no words at that time which could come close to describing how I was feeling. Sketching...quieted my mind and soothed my aching heart."
I was 13 when my mother was diagnosed with what I would later learn was breast cancer. My mom was very friendly, always smiling. She was full of energy and did a lot of charity work. She was lovely. Over the next two years, her health declined. Her cancer was like a storm cloud, blocking out the sun. She continued to smile, beautifully and bravely until the end. She passed away when I was 15.
It was art that pulled me through. I started sketching and found that it quieted my mind and soothed my aching heart. My mother was frequently in the hospital over the course of her illness. I began drawing some signs and pictures that I hung up in her hospital room. Then came others that revealed the depth of my sorrow and fears. There were no words at that time which could come close to describing how I was feeling. I was able to express my emotions through art. I tore these darker pictures up into tiny pieces, not wanting anyone else to see them. This, too, was part of my healing journey.
I was always anxious about the possibility of developing breast cancer. I have two older sisters, and I worried constantly that one of us would get it.
Art remained a central focus in my life. I went on to become an art therapist. It felt good to be able to help others with their personal struggles through painting, drawing, sculpting, and collage.
I married and had two beautiful children. Shortly after my second child was born, I felt a lump. I kept praying that it was just a clogged milk duct, but it wasn't going away. It was cancer. My sisters had both recently tested positive for the BRCA-1 gene. We all had mastectomies about a month apart. It helped us have peace of mind. It was a tremendously difficult time. I went from nursing my newborn to suddenly needing chemo and radiation. Going through our surgeries together gave my sisters and I strength.
Although I had some initial resistance to art after my diagnosis, I soon took up my pencils and paints again. Expressing myself in this way felt very safe. I could show as much or as little about what I was going through as I felt comfortable. Some of the art that I created during my treatment was about what I was directly experiencing. Other pieces reflected the hope and encouragement that I most wanted and desperately needed at that time.

Discussion in 'Tires / Brakes / Bearings / Axles' started by Mattda, Apr 15, 2019 at 7:47 PM.
Probably no need for stands on all 4 corners. Unless you are removing all the tires, then it might be a good idea.
I forgot to mention I'm replacing all the tires at a local tire store so both need to be removed.
Id do one at a time if it were an option then there is no need to have it lifted like that. You could do say the left side and the spare, then replace the left side with the new tire, jack up the right side and put the spare tire on, go back and get the last one done and use it as the spare. This way you only need one jack stand and a jack.
If you did feel inclined to do all three at the same time id try to keep the jack stands closer to the axial, maybe a third of the way from the front and back for stability and minimizing frame flex and use the frame rail that the axial is mounted to. Id also lower the stabilizers after it was jacked up just for redundancy..not necessarily taking any weight off but its 4 more points on the ground.
Blackripley and Mattda like this.
I would put a jack under the axle* and lift it just enough to get the tires off and then put jack stands under the axle(s) near each tire location. That will keep the weight distribution and balance the same as if the tires were still on. There should be no warping at all. The trailer won't know the difference between tires and jack stands since all the weight is being carried by the axle as designed. I did this when I replaced both my tires last year.
You could also put some blocking or use stabilizers if you have them at the rear of the camper to keep it from tipping up, but that really shouldn't be a problem.
*If you can easily access the axle with a jack, that is.
I would put a jack under the axle* and lift it just enough to get the tires off and then put jack stands under the axle(s) near each tire location.
You could buy 2 tire assemblies (tires already mounted on rims) then you would only have to jack up one side of the trailer at a time to change them... Oh and you should buy 3 assemblies, so you can replace the spare tire as well.
Remove one tire, put on the spare. Remove second, slowly let axle assembly down on a block of wood. Jackstands used under axles only, not under the frame or corners.
I just replaced my tires with new ones mounted on new rims. With the sale price, cost was about the same, or lower, as tires alone. Avoided the headache of bringing all existing wheels into the shop.
As for raising the trailer, I tend to agree with my Jayco manual, which strongly suggests avoiding jacking by the axle: "The camper alignment can be altered causing excessive tire wear."
I need to replace my tires but not sure how to keep camper off the ground. Manual says to place jack on the frame.
Would help if you told us the make / model / year of camper you have but that said if the owner's manual says to place the jack under the frame then that's what you should do. I'd agree with those who say don't just install new tires on the old rims, it's usually no more costly to install new rims with the tires already mounted on them as you won't be paying a shop to remove the old tires and install new ones on the old rims. Since you're changing just one wheel at a time it also addresses your concern as you'll just be lifting one side of the trailer at a time.

Dry Needling is an effective treatment for musculoskeletal pain. This manual technique involves the insertion of a sterile monofilament needle into a muscle to decrease spasm and trigger point activity. As a result, the muscles contract and release, which helps resolve pain and stiffness, improve muscle function and flexibility and promote healing.
WATCH: A patient's first dry needling experience.
PTSMC Groton Partner & Director Steven DeCastro provides a Dry Needling session for a new patient experiencing neck and shoulder pain.
People often don't feel the needles going in, but they sometimes feel an ache or cramp when the muscle releases.
What is a "monofilament needle?"
Monofilament needles are incredibly thin needles that can be inserted into the skin and muscle with little to no pain. They are very different from needles used for shots – much thinner and never used for injections.
When the needle is inserted through the skin and into the muscle, the muscles releases painful myofascial trigger points. Dry needling results in the deepest tissue release, allowing for improvements in movement and relief from pain.
Is it the same as acupuncture?
No, Trigger Point Dry Needling is based on Western medical research and principles, whereas acupuncture is based on Traditional Chinese Medicine.

The gold bull has been moving in very reliable Elliott Wave and Fibonacci patterns for many years now, but once in awhile the waters get a little murky for sure. Recently we have seen a fair amount of volatility near year end as position squaring and year end machinations take hold. With that said, it does appear that Gold should be poised to power higher near term, and I'm looking for a completion to a 5 wave rally that began from about $1,040 per ounce in February of this year.
Based on the recent patterns, I believe we completed a minor wave 3 from the February bottom at $1424 a little over 5 weeks ago, and had a shallow period of 8 days to complete a wave 4 to $1,330. Now, we are in the final 5th wave up pattern to complete an entire 5 wave move from February of 2010. In the near term then, I'm expecting a pretty strong rally from this recent $1365 area to at least $1,480 per ounce, and eventually a good shot at completing the structure at $1525 ranges. Short term, we should begin a wave 3 up here, followed by a 4th wave correction, and then a final and terminal 5th wave. Below is a multi- month weekly chart view of where I see us heading and where we've been.

IMPRESS and COncORDE invite you to: Decision Support Tools for Effective Health Emergency Management.
A joint workshop organized by the IMPRESS project and the COncORDE project to give a unique insight into the future of emergency response.
Decision Support Tools for Effective Health Emergency Management will be presented and demonstrated live.
The workshop will be collocated with the PSC Europe Forum Conference 2016, which takes place the 23 & 24 November 2016 in the same place.
Impress is developing a consolidated concept of operations, to effectively manage medical resources, prepare and coordinate response activities, supported by a Decision Support System, using data from multiple heterogeneous sources. It will assist health services in becoming more proactive, better prepared and interoperable with other emergency response organizations.
For more information about the IMPRESS project, please visit the website.
At present, no single region-wide Emergency Medical System model exists for EU Member States.
COncORDE aims to provide a tool that can be used in all member states, irrespective of their local differences, to achieve an EU wide impact in improving coordination of emergency medical response.
A web-based platform will be developed to support and enhance the existing decision processes during medical emergencies at local, regional and cross-border level, from small incidents to large scale emergency situations.
For more information about the COncORDE project, please visit the website.
The workshop is open to all practitioners in incident management and emergency health service providers.
The conference is hosted in the Radisson Blu Park Hotel located in the centre of Athens and reachable with a direct shuttle from the airport in 30 minutes.

On This Day in Typewriter History (VI)
On this day in 1897, Irish author Bram Stoker's Dracula was published.
Unlike most other novels of the period, typewriters frequently feature in this Gothic classic - tellingly or otherwise. Apparently Stoker drew much imagination from the typewriter - there are connections and allusions all through his writings.
I can't find any images of Stoker actually typing, but the consensus is that in the last Dracula movie an Oliver No 3 was used (something to do with matching Gary Oldman's hairdo, someone on the portable typewriter forum has suggested?).
" … I shall be prepared. I shall get my typewriter this very hour and begin transcribing" – "I have copied out the words on my typewriter, and none other need now hear your heart beat, as I did."
Abraham Stoker was born in Clontarf, Dublin, on November 8, 1847. He died in London, aged 64, on April 20, 1912.
On this day in 1945, New Yorker Joseph J.Jimenez filed a patent application for a "silent typewriter base". Sounds like a good idea! One of its objects was "to provide a base which can be adjustably connected to the drop of a typewriter desk, and which is equipped with a silencing pad on its underside, so that vibrations produced by the operation of the typewriter are not transmitted to the desk and thereby amplified, as in the case of a typewriter which is fastened directly to the desk, typewriter stand, or other support, with the usual connecting screws, or special typewriter clamps. Another object [is] that the typewriter may be shifted horizontally within a reasonable limit of movement ..."
The patent was granted on October 25, 1949.

You're so prolific I can't keep up to comment! I particularly liked this Dracula post. I particularly like the notion that the hair might be patterned after an Oliver - that's so like a film director's thought process. Have you seen the spoof, "Dracula - Dead and Loving It" yet? The wacky hairdo turns out to be a hat. http://assets.nydailynews.com/img/2010/11/30/gal_obit_leslie-nielsen_13.jpg

The Mersey Deanery rotational training scheme is flexible in that it offers training and experience which can lead to the award of a Certificate of Completion of Training, CCT in Geriatric Medicine and Level 2 competence in General Internal Medicine. Training takes 5 years. Each hospital placement during the scheme lasts for one year. The exact hospital to which the Specialist/Specialty registrar rotate to during the scheme can vary depending on the needs and wishes of the SpR/StR and the posts available. Rotation is decided each year after review of progress/ARCP with the Programme Director and the Post Graduate Dean. Rotation date is November. The scheme offers a wide variety of posts, each offering different special interests within the fields of Geriatric and General Medicine and related sub specialities.
Sub-speciality training opportunities are listed in the boxes, please note that in some hospitals there are several posts which offer different training opportunities. It is usually possible to request which Consultants you want to work for by contacting the STEC representative for the hospital. SpRs are usually placed in a District General Hospital during their first year and a District General Hospital in their final year. For Specialist Registrars at least 2 years of GIM are needed for accreditation in GIM plus one year of age related acute work. For Specialty Registrar there is no time restriction for gaining Level 2 competence in GIM.
Orthogeriatrics, Old Age Psychiatry, Intermediate Care, Continence, Palliative Care, Parkinson's, Stroke, Vascular Rehabilitation Management.
SpRs rotate through 4 posts in a year so can experience various subspecialties.
Each individual should aim to have at least 8 weeks experience at equivalent of 1 session per week in each of the major subspecialty areas of: Stroke care, Orthogeriatrics, Palliative Care, and Old Age Psychiatry. There should also be training in Continence Assessment and Management. Community Care training will depend on SpRs previous experience but should include a minimum of 24 sessions of experience.
View and print the Specialist Registrar Training Progress Review Form.
The aim of the program is to provide you with an understanding of Community and Intermediate care. Service provision differs widely in different areas, so you should spread your training over the 5 years to enable you to get a feel for this diversity and areas of common working as well as being able to evaluate what you feel are there strengths and weakness. Those of you wanting a more detailed knowledge of intermediate / community work may want to approach one of the "community geriatricians" for advice.
There are 10 essential half-day sessions required as a minimum. Additionally you should try to attend a further 10 half-day sessions during your training dependant on your needs and local availability. All Trusts will have a range of possibilities for experiencing intermediate / community work and information for each trust should be available from your supervising consultant. After each half day session the trainee should complete a feedback form and keep this with their training record. The feedback form will summarise the service seen, including a reflection on the medical input into the service and a brief review of the evidence for that type of service where appropriate.
Provided through the Regional SpR training day programme including talks by a Community Geriatrician, General Practitioner with an Interest in Intermediate / Community Care and Social Services.
BGS compendium - policy statements - intermediate care - role of Geriatrician in the community both of which refer you to other relevant sections in the BGS compendium.
Understanding about community and intermediate care should be nurtured during your daily practice. Consideration of community/Intermediate care options are to some extent a part of all discharge planning.
Many of these are part of the core geriatric curriculum. The new knowledge/skill lies in the application of core knowledge within a low-tech environment within an interdisciplinary team. Know which services are available and which are appropriate.
We would encourage any SpR who was interested in doing an audit project to contact one of the Geriatricians with an interest in community work.
The aim of this programme is to enable the future consultant in Geriatric Medicine to make a basic assessment of continence problems in a frail elderly patient and to access other sources of help. The trainee is not expected to become the local expert but should know who the experts are and what they might be able to offer. The programme can be extended for those who wish to develop a special interest.
The basic programme consists of a number of 'stand alone' sessions with practitioners in Merseyside.The SpRs will be expected to complete all 11 sessions and be able to demonstrate that they have been able to put their knowledge into practice.
After each session a trainee feedback sheet (Continence Training form) should be filled in. This form also serves to certify satisfactory completion.
This programme has two components – delirium and old age psychiatry. The curricula for both of these is enclosed. These include details of learning objectives, knowledge and skills to be acquired and methods of assessment.
the trainee is expected to achieve the objectives of this training programme within the first two years of their specialist training.
it is anticipated that experience and training in the management of delirium will be provided as part of core training in geriatric medicine.
trainees can be supervised for this part of their training by either their educational or clinical supervisor.
trainees are required to prepare a detailed account of three case histories with a comprehensive management plan in each case.
trainees should arrange at least two meetings with their supervising consultant – the first at the beginning of the programme to identify knowledge base and discuss learning objectives, and the second at the end of the programme to reinforce new knowledge and skills using discussion of case histories and to complete a final assessment for the log book.
the first and last sessions of the programme will be by a consultant geriatrician where session details will be given and aims of the programme discussed.
each trainee will also have a supervising old age psychiatrist whom they should meet at the beginning of the programme to discuss their training requirements and at the end of the programme to complete a final report.
trainees are required to prepare three detailed case histories covering a range of mental health problems, other than delirium, which will be discussed with their supervising old age psychiatrist.
the trainee is expected to attend at least one session of each of the following:trainees may feel they would benefit from more than one session of some or all of the above - it is the responsibility of the trainee to assess their training needs and arrange to attend any additional sessions.
knowledge of the use of drugs used in the management of dementia is required - this can be achieved through attending memory clinics or general old age psychiatry clinics depending on the system in place in an individual area.
training in liaison psychiatry should only take place in hospitals where this service is provided by senior staff.
After each subject a trainee feedback sheet (Old Age Psychiatry Training form) should be filled in. This form also serves to certify satisfactory completion.

Provision of palliative care as required.
Satisfactory training and assessment records.
The aim of this training is to provide the trainee with the knowledge, skills and attitudes to deliver good care to dying patients and involves liaison with different members of the palliative care team in different settings. The trainee will be required to write up cases of patients they have been involved with to discuss with their palliative care supervisor. They will be required to fill in an assessment of the value of the attachment.
The training is available for SPRs in years 2 or 4 of their geriatric medicine training or STRs between ST4 and ST6. It is available in Liverpool, Wirral, Southport, Whiston and Aintree.
The first element will be made up of 10 sessions of lectures in the form of an induction day, 6 sessions of communication related topics specific to palliative care, and a one day exit session; This will run over the course of one year and may be open to other trainees besides those in geriatric medicine.
The second element will be hospital based sessions consisting of ward rounds, multidisciplinary team meetings, case conferences and inpatient referrals.
The final element will be hospice based and will include attendance at multidisciplinary team meetings and ward based sessions with palliative care nurses in the community, hospice based outpatient clinic and inpatient and day care hospice based session.
Geriatric medicine is that branch of general medicine concerned with the clinical, preventive, remedial and social aspects of illness of older people. The speciality of geriatric medicine was established over half a century ago as a means of bringing standard medical practice to the elderly population It is one of the largest specialties in General Medicine and most challenging to practice given the complexities entailed in both diagnosis and management of old age disorders.
Clinical Geriatrics has rapidly evolved into both a hospital and community based specialty. Most Geriatricians are based in acute general hospitals, caring for patientsadmitted via the emergency units withacute illness. In addition to acute and emergency care, Geriatricians are involved in rehabilitation and an increasing number work within community based services.
Consultants of the future are increasingly likely to have commitments in both primary and secondary care settings. Subspecialty training in Stroke Medicine is also possible within the training programme as well as developing other subspecialty interests in syncope, orthogeriatrics, movement disorders (Parkinson's disease), falls and cognitive impairment.
Then Geriatric Medicine may be the specialty for you!
Geriatric Medicine will suit physicians who like to get to know patients and their families, who are adept at assimilating different information about problems and can then formularise a best possible option.
Competitive application to a five year (ST3-ST7) Specialty Training Programme in Geriatric Medicine leading to a CCT (Certificate Completion Training) in Geriatric Medicine. Competency in General Internal Medicine will also be achieved during this time. This allows you to practice as a Consultant Physician managing an unselected acute medical intake in addition to your specialty work.
Flexible training is above average in this specialty and is welcomed.
All Registrars on the training programme rotate annually to different hospitals at the beginning of July. There are 46 full time posts and a few flexible posts. The 46 full time posts are divided into 9 tracks, 8 tracks with 5 posts each and 1 track of 6 posts. Most trainees stay on the same track throughout the training programme.
All trainees receive time to study and they are encouraged to register with Salford University to study for a MSc in Geriatric Medicine.
Registrars are required to do a minimum of 2 audits in Geriatric Medicine during the 5 year training programme and are supported to do this.
Teaching of Colleagues, Junior Doctors and Medical Students is encouraged. Registrars receive training to develop and practice teaching skills.
Registrars who progress to the final phase of the MSc at Salford University will need to do a dissertation which could involve some original research, taking time out of programme is a possibility and advice is available locally for those interested in carrying out research.

The 2nd R2Y1 under construction.
The Dai-Ichi Kaigun Koku Gijitsusho was tasked with coming up with a design. It was to use a Mitsubishi 24 cylinder (2,500 HP) liquid cooled engine then under development. As the delivery was expected much later than initially planned for two Mitsubishi MK10A radials were used. This design, the R1Y1 Seiun (blue cloud), didn't meet the specifications of the 17-Shi and was abandoned.
Then the Imperial Japanese Navy released an 18-Shi specification in early 1943. This lead to a design that was inspired by an Heinkel He 119V4 that was purchased by the Navy in 1940 by Commander Hideo Tsukada. The design had two engines behind the cockpit that would drive a single propeller. This was to become the R2Y1 Keiun (beautiful cloud).
In 1944, with the worsening war situation the Navy decided to transform the R2Y1 into a jet attack bomber. A Ne-330 turbojet was intended to be placed under each wing. This became the R2Y2.
In April 1945 the R2Y1 prototype was completed and testing was to be made at Kisarazu. On May 8, 1945, Lieut-Commander Kitajima flew the R2Y1 for the first time. The flight was cut short due to rising oil temperatures. A few days later the prototype was destroyed by American bombers.
Yokosuka R2Y1: Long range reconnaissance.
Yokosuka R2Y2: Jet attack bomber. Design never completed.

In mathematics, Viviani's curve, also known as Viviani's window, is a figure eight shaped space curve named after the Italian mathematician Vincenzo Viviani. It is the intersection of a sphere with a cylinder that is tangent to the sphere and passes through two poles (a diameter) of the sphere (see diagram). Before Viviani this curve was studied by Simon de La Loubère and Gilles de Roberval.
The orthographic projection of Viviani's curve onto a plane perpendicular to the line through the crossing point and the sphere center is the lemniscate of Gerono, while the stereographic projection is a hyperbola or the lemniscate of Bernoulli, depending on which point on the same line is used to project.
In 1692 Viviani solved the following task: Cut out of a half sphere (radius ) two windows, such that the remaining surface (of the half sphere) can be squared, i.e. a square with the same area can be constructed using only compasses and ruler. His solution has an area of (see below).
Equations
In order to keep the proof for squaring simple,
the sphere has the equation
and
the cylinder is upright with equation .
The cylinder has radius and is tangent to the sphere at point
Properties of the curve
Floor plan, elevation and side plan
Elimination of , , respectively yields:
The orthogonal projection of the intersection curve onto the
--plane is the circle with equation
--plane the parabola with equation
--plane the algebraic curve with the equation
Parametric representation
Representing the sphere by
and setting yields the curve
One easily checks that the spherical curve fulfills the equation of the cylinder. But the boundaries allow only the red part (see diagram) of Viviani's curve. The missing second half (green) has the property
With help of this parametric representation it is easy to prove the statement: The area of the half sphere (containing Viviani's curve) minus the area of the two windows is . The area of the upper right part of Viviani's window (see diagram) can be calculated by an integration:
Hence the total area of the spherical surface included by Viviani's curve is and the area of the half sphere () minus the area of Viviani's window is , the area of a square with the sphere's diameter as the length of an edge.
Rational Bezier representation
The quarter of Viviani's curve that lies in the all-positive quadrant of 3D space cannot be represented exactly by a regular Bezier curve of any degree.
However, it can be represented exactly by a 3D rational Bezier segment of degree 4, and there is an infinite family of rational Bezier control points generating that segment.
One possible solution is given by the following five control points:
The corresponding rational parametrization is:
Relation to other curves
The 8-shaped elevation (see above) is a Lemniscate of Gerono.
Viviani's curve is a special Clelia curve. For a Clelia curve the relation between the angles is
Subtracting 2× the cylinder equation from the sphere's equation and applying completing the square leads to the equation
which describes a right circular cone with its apex at
, the double point of Viviani's curve. Hence
Viviani's curve can be considered not only as the intersection curve of a sphere and a cylinder but also as
a) the intersection of a sphere and a cone and as
b) the intersection of a cylinder and a cone.

Watermelon holds a special place in my heart. So juicy, sweet and refreshing. One of life's simple pleasures, especially on a swelteringly hot day.
When I was a child, my mother used to tell me that my love for watermelon had to do with it being one of the things she craved most during those final months of her pregnancy with me… I was born in the middle of a particularly hot summer. Unlikely, but it makes for a nice story.
Given it was my birthday last week and the weather in Sydney was spot on for this time of year, I thought it would be a good time to share with you this refreshing watermelon granita.
You might recall I made an Espresso & Frangelico granita not so long ago, which was so well received that I thought I'd experiment with another flavour.
While in my opinion it's hard to find a better way of eating watermelon than freshly cut and icy cold, this watermelon granita is pretty darn good.
For this version, I adapted Neil Perry's recipe published by Gourmet Traveller, which uses a slightly different technique to my espresso granita, but the finished result was equally as good as my first. I didn't make Perry's accompanying ginger syrup on this occasion but I'll definitely be giving it a try another time.
One small piece of advice – if you're anything like me, just make sure you start out with plenty of watermelon as a good chunk of it didn't make it further than the cutting board!
Combine the watermelon and sugar in a bowl and leave to macerate (at least 45 min).
Add the lime juice and blend together in a food processor until smooth, then strain through a sieve (if you prefer no pulp, line the sieve with muslin).
Cover the dish with cling film and place in freezer. Leave for approximately 2 hrs or until ice starts to form around the edges.
With a fork, scrape the mixture approximately every 45 min as it freezes, breaking up the forming ice into small shavings. Repeat until all the mixture is frozen (approximately 4 hrs).
Great served as a refreshing treat on a hot summer's day, or consider serving with cream and syrup for a more substantial dessert.

History, Music
Dennis Stock's photograph of Miles Davis performing in a club graces the cover of Blue Notes in Black and White.
In St. Louis, there are important efforts afoot to both preserve jazz's history and nurture its ongoing cultural health. The jazz presenting organization Jazz St. Louis recently shut down for the best of reasons: it is undertaking a $10 million campaign that will "reimagine and expand" the venue's presentation of the music. Already a key destination for national touring acts, the revised Steward Center for Jazz will seat 220 by the fall season and will be the Midwest's answer to New York's Jazz at Lincoln Center. It is part of a trend toward non-profit cultural centers such as JALC and San Francisco's new SF Jazz Center that give a kind of final stamp to jazz as a subscription series-ready art music, though Jazz St. Louis director Gene Dobbs Bradford has made innovative efforts to keep his organization involved in music education in the region as well as making Jazz St. Louis concerts affordable for younger listeners. While there may be legitimate concerns that venues such as these may weaken an already marginal for-profit jazz club scene in America's cities, these spaces may end up being the only places most people with any interest in the music are bound to venture. Los Angeles's Jazz Bakery is also committed to a new Frank Gehry-designed building in Culver City, following the trend.
Davis outside the Cafe Bohemia.
The history of jazz venues is a fraught one. Also in St. Louis, efforts are underway to preserve the Palladium, which until after the war went by the name of Club Plantation (I comment in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch's article here). New York's Cotton Club was the model for the Plantation's segregated presentation, with black performers and white audiences. As I recount in my concluding essay in Gerald Early's Miles Davis and American Culture, this was the world in which Davis cut his teeth as an aspiring young musician. Billy Eckstine's touring band featuring Dizzy Gillespie and Charlie Parker flouted the Plantation's segregation policy by walking through the front door in 1944. The band repaired to the Club Riviera, which catered to black audiences. "Afterward," I wrote based on Davis's autobiography, "he knew that he would leave for New York to play with Bird and Diz. St. Louis's racism changed music history."[1]
I also mentioned in Blue Notes in Black and White that the romantic image of jazz musicians photographed in smoky clubs often disguises shady business practices and difficult working conditions during the classic era for jazz. One of Jazz St. Louis's great virtues practiced over the years is to consider its venue a "listening room" free of the very smoke that Herman Leonard's photography captured so dramatically. The policy began with founder Barbara Rose and Bradford and his staff remind patrons to "keep conversation to a minimum" before every set. Treating the music and its practitioners with respect is something of which the new jazz venues may be proud.
While jazz clubs have almost always had a tenuous economic hold, they become important community spaces for those who love the music. San Francisco's Keystone Korner, owned and managed by Todd Barkan in the 1970s and early 1980s, was one of these special places. In 2014, CSU Fullerton's Center for Oral and Public History and the departments of History and Music plan to present a multimedia commemoration of Keystone Korner based on the work of photographer and oral historian Kathy Sloane. My students worked directly with Kathy this past spring to plan an exhibition on the club, and their show will recall a time when you could hear Art Blakey or Dexter Gordon for a few dollars in a cramped club with fellow jazz lovers of all persuasions who didn't want to be anywhere else in the world. There will be more information on the Keystone Korner celebration in the coming months.
So best of luck to Jazz St. Louis, the Jazz Bakery, to those hoping to save the Palladium building, to the New Orleans and Harlem and Chicago clubs fighting to stay alive sometimes in opposition to forces within their own cities. However it is done, the spirit Kathy Sloane found at Keystone Korner has a chance as long as the music's fans are willing to take the risk for what they love.

Saint Laurent at Neiman Marcus.
It's been a long time since I have posted a photo diary! I actually really enjoy taking photos, whether it's on my phone, camera, or on film. Here are some fun snaps I shot while spending the day with my friend in the Beverly Hills. It's very rare that I get to play tourist in my own city. Lately, I feel it's been work work work.
Louis Vuitton. Random fact, my fiance's cousin designs the sculptures for Louis Vuitton, as well as many luxury stores.
My husband and I spent our honeymoon in LA. I'd like to go back for a visit.
Thanks for sharing FAB trip to the 90210!
This would be a shopping trip of a lifetime for me.

How do you place a freshly bought set of groceries in your refrigerator? Do you just slide items in and move them around to make more space when necessary, or cram in whatever fits, or stick things in the door or drawers indiscriminately? Well, you're doing your food and drink a disservice!
Learn where food goes in the fridge with this handy infographic (click here for larger image), based on the science of how most refrigerators are built. Print it out and use your favorite magnet to hang it up, and stop freezing your arugula and under-chilling your beer.
Don't overfill your fridge, which prevents cold air from circulating properly.
On the other hand, don't be proud of your half-empty fridge with its crusty ketchup bottle and six-pack of Coors; a desolate fridge is not only sad, but it invites uneven temperatures.
Areas of the fridge that are not in direct contact with the cold air flow are warmer. Hence the lower part of a refrigerator is warmer, especially because it is shielded from the cold air flow by upper shelves and drawers.
The door area in the fridge is warmer because it is further from the cold air source and because the other side of the door is in contact with the outside. However, compartments at the top of the door are cooler than those at the bottom because they are somewhat closer to the cold air source at the top of the refrigerator. An exception is the egg compartment, which is usually covered by a plastic cover that prevents circulation of the cold air.
Opening the door of the fridge can let large quantities of warm air in. When opening the door, the cold air pours out from the lower part of the fridge and into the room and the warm air from the room is sucked into the top part of the fridge. Opening the door for 30 seconds can lead to temperature change of 5-10 degrees. It can then take up to 15 minutes for the fridge to return to its initial low temperature.
Dairy products and drinks should be placed at the top of the refrigerator, cool but not too cold, so they do not freeze. Preferably, place milk and dairy products on the side where the cold air blows and position drinks on the other side.
Meats and fish should be on the mid-tier shelf.
Cheeses and cold cuts should be placed in the top drawer below the bottom shelf.
Fruit and produce (salads and vegetables) can be in the middle of bottom drawer, still cool but not too cold so they do not freeze. One of these drawers usually has a humidity control.
If there are two bottom drawers, the lowest drawer is best for food items that need some refrigeration but are under a vacuum seal and therefore will last longer.
Eggs and butter should be placed in the door, but in a compartment protected by a cover so that they do not get too cold (eggs) or too hard (butter).
Items that need the least refrigeration should be placed in the bottom of the door.

ICYMI: Costa's ban, Maradona fined and mascot is sued
GlobalSport Matters | Friday, April 12, 2019
We all experience that feeling that the week can sometimes get away from you. News happens so quickly that it might feel like you don't have a chance to know what is going on in the world. Each week, GlobalSport Matters will compile some of the best of the other stories in the sporting news. These stories will include new breakthroughs in sport science, information about changing technology and just good reads about the global sporting community. Have a story you'd like us to know about and share? Let us know.
Costa receives 8 game ban for insulting official's mother
Spanish International soccer star Diego Costa received an eight game ban for insulting an official's mother when a call did not go his way. The Spanish Football Federation handed down the penalty – four games for holding the officials arm and four for his comments about the officials mother.
Maradona fined for dedicating victory to Maduro
Diego Maradona, the head coach for Dorados de Sinaloa, dedicated his team's victory to Venezuelan president Nicolas Maduro and was fined an unspecified sum for violating the Mexican soccer federation's code of ethics.
The cheerleader who blew the whistle on the NFL carries on
Former Saint's cheerleader Bailey Davis filed a sex discrimination lawsuit against the NFL last spring. Over the last year, Davis has become the whistleblower who put her own career on the line in order to represent cheerleaders everywhere as an advocate for equal treatment. She has been on talk shows around the world to talk about her experience and the case against the NFL. Since this began, some teams have switched to more conservative uniforms. The case should have a verdict by this summer.
Woman suing Astros after mascot's T-shirt cannon 'shatters' her finger
A woman is suing the Houston Astros for a t-shirt cannon "shattering" her finger at a baseball game. Jennifer Harughty is suing the organization after requiring two surgeries to attempt to fix her broken finger from a game in July 2018.
Remembering 16 victims of hockey bus crash
One year after a bus crash killed 16 members of the Humboldt Broncos, friends and family remember. Thirteen others were injured, after a bus taking the Humboldt Broncos junior hockey team to a playoff game collided with a transport truck at a rural intersection in Saskatchewan on April 6, 2018.
Former AAF employee files suit
James Roberson, who was the community relations director of the Birmingham Iron before the Alliance of American Football suspended operations in early April, is suing the AAF and its investors. The suit alleges that the league violated the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act of 1988, which says employees must be warned at least 60 days prior to a business closing. Another suit has been filed by former players for breach of contract.
White privilege essay
Utah Jazz guard Kyle Korver penned an essay expressing concern over his identity within the NBA, particularly as it pertains to race. He wrote that he identifies more with the white fans than his black teammates and opponents, and how that reality showed itself recently when a Jazz fan shouted racist profanities at Oklahoma City Thunder guard Russell Westbrook. He wants to "shut up and listen" to change his own biases as well as how he can be an ally. As Marc Spears of The Undefeated wrote, "If white players show solidarity off the court with their black teammates to quell racism and social injustice as strongly as they do to win on the court together, perhaps the predominantly white fans would be more inclined to listen as well."
Umpire alleges MLB, Joe Torre discriminating against minorities
MLB umpire Angel Hernandez filed a federal racial discrimination lawsuit towards the league two years ago. A previously sealed list of items he's sought permission to speak about related to his federal racial discrimination lawsuit was made public in a filing by his attorney in U.S District Court for the Central District of New York on Tuesday. Among the 27 items Hernandez asked permission to speak about without retaliation included allegations that "MLB has made professional life even harder for minorities in baseball" since Torre was hired as an executive vice president in 2010 after his long tenure as manager of the New York Yankees.
Chelsea fans barred from match for singing derogatory Salah chants
Thursday's Europa league match between Chelsea and Slavia Prague saw three less spectators than expected after they were identified to be the singers in a derogatory song aimed at Liverpool star Mohamed Salah. The video, that has circulated through social media, contains the lyrics "Salah is a bomber" and contained six individuals, three of which were stopped by away security and three who remained off the grounds of the stadium, Chelsea released a statement pledging to take "Strongest possible action" against any ticket holder found to have misbehaved.

28 years have passed since the most successful incarnation of Ultravox (vocalist Midge Ure, bassist Chris Cross, keyboardist Billy Currie, and drummer Warren Cann) have recorded together, but their first studio album since 1984's Lament shows that nothing much has changed. Co-produced with Stephen Lipson (Annie Lennox), the rather confidently titled Brilliant offers little to explain what took them so long. Every single one of its 12 tracks, from the chest-thumping pomp rock of opener "Live" to the dreary soul balladry of closer "Contact," feels like they've been dug up from the Vienna era rather than the byproduct of a new, creative second wind. The album begins, intriguingly enough, with "Flow" throwing everything from shimmering shoegazey riffs to bagpipes into the stadium rock mix, while the title track's rubbery, synth basslines, glacial piano chords, and Gregorian chants help create an engaging slice of slightly sinister synth pop. But after such a lengthy absence, it's disappointing to find that Brilliant runs out of steam so soon, with a string of plodding, proggy ballads ("Remembering," "Hello," "One") which are far more West End than New Wave. Of course, there's always been a sense of the theatrical about Ultravox, but here it's so po-faced and over-earnest that it's difficult to sit through. It's by no means an embarrassment of a comeback, but an embarrassment would arguably have been more fun than most of Brilliant's self-indulgent, monotonous fare.

Trucking accidents cause some of the most serious injuries on New York highways. While these fatal accidents seemingly have declined over time, the amount of truck accidents still remains concerning for state and federal officials. Finding a way to make roadways safer for all motorists has been a major concern for many years.
In 2010, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration announced CSA 2010, a comprehensive safety plan designed to help reduce the amount of serious truck accidents happening in the United States. CSA 2010 developed a ratings system for both drivers and employers. Repeat safety violations could result in sanctions, and, if too many violations occurred, trucking companies could be ordered out of service.
Unfortunately, this was often not enough to keep unsafe trucks off of the roads. Many companies would simply shut their doors, and start up again under a different name. These so-called "reincarnated carriers" were tough for the FMSCA to regulate, and often, little could be done to tie old penalties to the new carriers.
Recently, the agency announced a new rule that would make it easier to ensure that unsafe companies remain out of service. If a carrier ordered out of service goes out of business, the FMSCA will be able to examine the new entity to determine if it is simply a reincarnated carrier. Trucking and busing companies will also have the opportunity to have a hearing to discuss their status with the agency.
It is hoped that this will reduce the number of companies that do not adhere to penalties put in place by the FMSCA. By making it more difficult for companies to simply start over, the agency hopes to ensure that unsafe drivers and companies are kept off of the roads until the required changes are made.
If you have been injured in a trucking accident, contact an experienced personal injury attorney in your area to understand the options that will be available to you. Do not simply settle your case with an insurance company without knowing the extent of your injuries. Each case will be different, and it is important to know the long-term effects of any injuries that you may have suffered.

Q: Продолжить счет времени после изменения объекта Calendar (Java) Имеется созданный объект Calendar:
Calendar c = new GregorianCalendar();
Получаем текущее время и выводим его:
System.out.printf("\n%1$s %2$td %2$tB %2$tY года - %2$tH:%2$tM:%2$tS\n", "Дата:", с);
Вывод консоли:
Дата: 18 декабря 2019 года - 22:12:37
Теперь меняем кол-во часов на 6 утра:
с.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, 6);
Получаем:
Дата: 18 декабря 2019 года - 06:12:37
И тут вопрос: как организовать алгоритм таким образом, чтобы продолжился счет времени дальше, но уже с учетом измененных количеств часов?
Предположение:
Создавать в потоке постоянно объект типа Calendar - не вариант, время будет всегда устанавливаться в текущее (будет сбиваться установленное количество часов, в данном случае 6 утра). Или получать значение времени в миллисекундах, присваивать это значение переменной time и уже (далее работать с этой переменной) в блоке try с задержкой в секунду с помощью метода sleep(1000) постоянно прибавлять по 1000 миллисекунд в переменную time? Может есть что-нибудь более оригинальное?
A: Предлагаю забыть про Calendar и воспользоваться api, доступным начиная с java 8:
import java.time.Clock;
import java.time.Duration;
import java.time.Instant;
import java.time.ZoneId;
import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;
public class Test {
public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException {
//создаём фейковые часы, в которых время всегда будет на 10 минут опережать системное
Clock fakeClock=Clock.offset(Clock.system(ZoneId.systemDefault()), Duration.ofMinutes(10));
//выводит на консоль текущее системное время
System.out.println(Instant.now());
//выводит на консоль время на 10 мин позже системного
System.out.println(fakeClock.instant());
//отдыхаем 5 секунд
Thread.sleep(TimeUnit.SECONDS.toMillis(5));
//выводит на консоль текущее системное время (предыдущее значение +5 сек)
System.out.println(Instant.now());
//выводит на консоль время, на 10 мин позже системного (предыдущее значение +5 сек)
System.out.println(fakeClock.instant());
}
}
То есть часы будут идти с установленным нами отклонением от системных. Можно их один раз создать, сохранить в каком-нибудь филде и обращаться к ним по мере надобности за "искривлённым" временем.
Правда, возникает вопрос - а зачем это вообще нужно? Если цель - отображать время в разных часовых поясах, то нужно воспользоваться стандартным апи для установки таймзоны

Murray's plans to make the band's image more rock'n'roll range from a piece of hay, dangling suggestively from the mouth to a live webcam (that Brett and Jemaine don't know about). He forces the guys to drink beer ("Think of something happy") and books them a gig at a World Music night.
Two new fans show up, much to numero uno fan Mel's disgust. The rest of the episode is filled with drugs, threesomes and a foray into Dave's apartment (to borrow clothes for the date, Jemaine wants a "casual Prince" look) and an akward dinner at Mel & Doug's home.

Dr. Les Walkling - Fifteen Years Creating with EIZO
Dr. Les Walkling - Fifteen Years Creating with EIZO | EIZO
Dr. Les Walkling is an artist, educator and consultant. With too many accolades to list, Les is the former Program Director of Media Arts at RMIT University, and Senior Research Fellow and Australian Research Council Discovery Project grant recipient in the School of Art. His work is held in public collections including The Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York), the National Gallery of Australia, the Art Gallery of NSW and the National Gallery of Victoria. Les is a leading provider of photographic education, and digitization consultant to Australia's cultural institutions. The EIZO Gallery collection was personally curated by him.
What was your first EIZO monitor, and what are you using now?
My first EIZO monitor was the ColorEdge CG220, their first Adobe RGB Gamut monitor. Shortly thereafter we bought the ColorEdge CG221, the first Adobe RGB monitor with digital equalization uniformity (DUE). 12 years on, we still use this on our main profiling workstation where we create the highest quality profiles for people's printing, pre-press and camera calibrations. I still trust that monitor with my life, and it has been on that workstation for 12 years. Unlike the newer ColorEdge monitors, I have to physically calibrate it and it is still within specification! Today we also use a ColorEdge CG277 and a CG248-4K for video, and we are in the process of adding a ColorEdge CG319X.
What was your initial experience like?
At first glance, the ColorEdge CG220 was mind-bogglingly brilliant. There was a fine difference in the level of detail we were able to see of our work, and it was just what we needed. 15 years running we still use it in our video editing suite as a secondary monitor.
What amazes me is that you buy photographic lenses for long-term applications knowing you're going to upgrade the camera bodies on a regular basis. Similarly, we've gone through many computers, but they have all been plugged into the same EIZO monitor.
How well do the monitors calibrate, and integrate with your existing equipment?
The monitors are extremely workflow-centric and fit in seamlessly. Unlike other equipment, my monitor doesn't tell me how to work. Instead, it facilitates my work. Be it an extreme like representing an iPad, or a highly fluorescent pre-press standard with insane levels of fluorescence on paper and press to get skin tones and ethnicities correct, and it self-calibrates automatically to mimic those standards. Once I've established the parameters and profiles for all of our outputs, armed with ColorNavigator 7.1, they're simultaneously updated. If you know the basics, just enter the parameters and allow it to work its magic. It turns on at 8.30 am, before we get into the studio, and it's already verified itself. I can tick that box before I've even started working. Given the complexity of calibrating printers, scanners, cameras, there's nothing easier that I know of than the hardware calibration of a ColorEdge. If only the other tools of my workflow were this accommodating and flexible like my EIZO monitors…
How important is your EIZO monitor to your overall digital color workflow?
We invest in EIZO monitors because of what they enable us to do in our production. What they enable us to see. Seeing is knowing, and knowing enables you to make a difference. As a photographer, you draw the world with the democracy of the lens. It is the monitor that enables us to see the minute details that the camera captures. Accurate "seeing" is what it is all about for a visual artist. They are more than just monitors. They intrude in the most wonderful way on our very sense of ourselves, our very being, and how we make those most critical assessments – aesthetic, political and historical judgements - with our imagery and what we're trying to do in this world of contemporary art. They are extraordinary devices.
What are your experiences with EIZO's after-sales service?
The after-sales service is legendary here. I remember, I was scheduled to conduct a workshop in Kununurra, Western Australia. I had an EIZO monitor shipped to the location to be part of my demonstration. Unfortunately, on the 4,000 km journey, it was damaged. I was stranded with no monitor for my workshop. Just to try my luck, I notified the EIZO team. While it took me 2 days to get to Kununurra, my replacement monitor reached me within 24 hours! I have heard similar stories of the team's exceptional service while helping others set up their EIZO monitors too. There is no other brand that can speak of this level of support.
Tell us about your visit to the EIZO Headquarters in Kanazawa, Japan
My visit to the EIZO headquarters was off the back of my first trip to Japan. So, I was already beside myself with their remarkable culture. The highlight of my visit to the headquarters was the manufacturing area – I saw the production line where my EIZO ColorEdge CG220 was born. To top if off, I cross-checked my monitor's serial number and met the person who did the final human quality check on my monitor!
What left the most indelible stamp on me was not just the humility, and kindness, and the incredible welcome we received, but that the monitors are meticulously checked by human beings in white gloves, before they are ticked and allowed to be packaged. Despite the science, technology and instrumentation in the building, the extraordinary emotional depth of their engagement with each monitor was mind-boggling. There was a devotion, a pride, and execution that seemed "above and beyond". This stuff leaves a real impression, not in just how to do things but that idea of perfection and excellence, and the commitment to doing better today than yesterday. This culture within the Japanese culture is phenomenal. To this day, I've told these stories regularly. Those who have been to Japan get it. Those who don't, appreciate it when we work with the monitors.

What advice would you give to up-and-coming photographers?
We are in a time where the opportunities that exist in photography are being transcended beyond our wildest imagination. Everything is evolving to be screen-based. The ubiquity of screens used to be the ubiquity of photography. For up and coming photographers who are up to their eyeballs with new ways of thinking about imaging and reality, this is a golden era. At the center of this evolution is our screen. It's the rebirth of photography with augmented reality, virtual reality etc. And, our morality of the uses of that technology are developing hand in hand in a way that wasn't really in the kilt for most of the history of photography. With all this evolution, one must pay attention to all aspects of the workflow, including our screens.

July is National Anti-Boredom Month for dogs and humans alike! Does your dog show signs that he is bored at home? Is he home too long during the day? Do you return home to something destroyed? If so, here are some ways to toss up the routine and keep your dog satisfied!
If you find that your dog is whining excessively, barking, digging up the back yard, chewing on wood work in the house, pacing around all day, panting profusely, jumping or demanding of your attention as soon as you walk in the house, your dog is more than likely under-stimulated.
– If you are planning a long day away from the house and need to leave your dog at home, you should plan to leave your dog with something entertaining before you walk out. Puzzle toys and food games work extremely well in occupying his mind while mommy and daddy leave.
– Take him for a walk! Walks are great for mental and physical stimulation and will keep their anxiety level down. Some dogs get more out of a rigorous play session versus walks, adjust depending on your dogs needs.
– Leave him with a brand new toy or an old toy that was put away for a while. Dogs also enjoy a fun game of hide and seek!

A Revised Moonlit Sky Brightness Model
However the orbit of the Moon has evolved with time. Whether or not this may have occurred is dependent upon the evolution of the Lunar orbit parameters, the Lunar inside structure and on how the latter could have developed (as an example by inside core development). POSTSUBSCRIPT within the frame of the mantle, so over the course of 1 Lunar orbit around Earth, a given level on the ICB goes by means of a cycle of melting and crystallizing. Over a protracted time frame, this could act to realign the form of the ICB with the liquidus, and thus to realign the figure axis of the internal core with that of the mantle. The necessary point to stress is that both viscous relaxation and the technique of melting and solidification of the ICB act to scale back the amplitude of the inside core tilt predicted by our simple mannequin. Elastic deformations would act to realign the inner core with the mantle, so would lead to a decrease in the interior core tilt angle.
FLOATSUPERSCRIPT. In response to our adopted denomination, the inner core would be in state B and its tilt angle (predicted by Eq. Progress versus the timescale for the inner core to assume the tilt angle of its Cassini state when starting from an alignment with the mantle. A more proper willpower of the tilt angle of the inside core would involve a stability between two characteristic timescales: the timescale of realignment of the ICB to the liquidus by melt. Toyota has redesigned its Prius with a photo voltaic-powered ventilation system that keeps the automotive cool while it's parked — no extra returning to a molten-sizzling automobile after it has been parked in the sun all day. One vat holds comparatively cool molten salt (about 500 degrees F or 260 degrees C). We choose as a basis one of the mannequin offered in Matsuyama et al. In the offered research we thought of only the Mg II ok line profiles noticed at a quiet Solar disc heart region with a certain configuration of the observing instrument (exposure and resolution).
We plan to analyze this in a observe up examine. Any bias introduced into this examine by the ignoring of the polarization properties of moonlight is thus solely expected to have very minor consequences. Furthermore, previously, the FCN frequency was bigger, principally because of the sooner rotation price of the Moon (but also if this resulted in a larger CMB ellipticity, e.g. Meyer and Knowledge, 2011), and thus the FCN was nearer to being in resonance with the pressured precession frequency. POSTSUBSCRIPT prior to now could have result in a a lot larger interior core tilt – even probably a resonance crossing of the FICN -. A sufficiently giant differential rotation at the ICB for dynamo motion. Since, as we've illustrated in our examine, the spin vectors of the stable and fluid cores are doubtless misaligned, it follows then that the ensuing differential rotation on the ICB might also potentially result in a dynamo by mechanical stirring. In actual fact, Fig. 2 of Ward (1975) illustrates precisely this, exhibiting how the totally different Cassini states related to the strong outer shell of the Moon have evolved as a operate of the Earth-Moon distance. The rotation charge of the 1:1 spin-orbit resonance has decreased because the Earth-Moon distance increased.
Alternately, the non-detection could also be because the inner core is just too small, the density contrast at the ICB is simply too small, or that the FICN frequency shouldn't be near the resonance so the interior core tilt is simply too small. 2014) or throughout the internal core might also considerably alter our results. Figure 5 presents the results of the simulations for different duties and methods. In particular, an inner core that may deform viscously would realign its form to match the surface of hydrostatic equilibrium imposed by the mantle gravity discipline. Bulls can weigh greater than 2,000 pounds, that means that you don't want to crash into them in the midst of a deserted highway. See Appendix D for more on the astrometric performance of crowdsource alone. Spurious Indicators: As already discussed above (see Section 4.2), independently of the other work packages of the EXTraS mission, we found several spurious signals in these observations during which EPIC cameras switched to the so-known as counting mode.

Q: Generic term for something you say Is there a generic term/noun for something one says. I'm specifically looking for something you say in a conversation, but maybe there is even a more generic term. I'm looking for a word like 'sentence', 'remark', 'reply', but these are too specific.
A: *
*Verbalization (from FrustratedWithFormsDesigner)
*Utterance
*Vocalization (from The Raven)
*Message
*Word/s
*Speech
*Phrase (from Jeremy)
*Statement
Remark seems good to me, too, but I'm not sure on how you want to use it.

2 Establishment of new prizes
3 Award of prizes
4 Change of conditions
5 Discontinuation of prizes
Prizes play an important part in recognising in a public way high levels of student achievement, primarily through academic excellence but also in some instances through the quality of contribution to other aspects of University life.
Prizes are an important element in the University's strategy for engaging local and national companies in the life of the University. For those who receive them, prizes enhance their relationship with the University, hopefully well into the future. In addition, they give individual donors the opportunity to make a gift to the University for a variety of reasons, often of a quite personal nature.
The Senate has agreed to devolve its day-to-day powers to the Faculty Board for the approval of new prizes, changes to conditions and nominations for award. The relevant Dean of Faculty will normally act on behalf of the Board in the approval of new prizes and changes to conditions. The relevant Dean of Faculty has devolved authority for nominations for award to Colleges.
The context of prizes as outlined in 1.2 above implies that the University's Global Advancement Department has a particular role to play in facilitating the establishment of new prizes and supporting the continuing effectiveness of existing ones.
The establishment, award and conditions of all prizes must be in line with the Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Policy of the University.
Establishment of new prizes
All new prizes must be established through Communication and Marketing Services, in consultation with the donor and the College or other University unit involved. At the successful conclusion of the negotiation phase, the details of the new prize must be reported on a form available from Communication and Marketing Services or Faculty Office (to download this form select Establishment of a New Prize).
The completed form must be emailed to the Faculty Office.
If the prize is to be given in the form of a cheque or books, the monetary value should not be less than £50 per year.
Approval for the new prize must be sought from the relevant Dean of Faculty, acting on behalf of the Faculty Board.
Once approval has been secured, the Faculty Office will inform:
a) the College or University unit concerned
b) Global Advancement, who will inform the donor and arrange any necessary receipt of funds
c) and will also ensure an entry for the new prize is inserted in the Calendar.
Using the details contained within the form, the Faculty Office will enter the information into the central prizes database.
Details of all University and College prizes are published in Part 2 of the Calendar. Towards the middle of each Spring Term, the Faculty Office will circulate details of each prize available for award. Colleges are asked to check that these details are correct and inform the Faculty Office immediately of any changes.
Award of prizes
The College Pro-Vice Chancellor and Executive Dean or the Chair of the Board of Studies (as appropriate) should make a nomination for the award of a prize using the Award of Prize Form (to download this form, please select Award of Prize).
Those nominating prize-winners must ensure that the conditions for award have been met.
The process to follow for payment of the award will depend on where the prize fund sits, as follows:
a) If the fund sits with Global Advancement on behalf of the College then a request for payment to the student should be sent to darodisbursements@exeter.ac.uk. Global Advancement will check that the funding is still available and fill in a payment spreadsheet for student funding to process. To process the request to Global Advancement, the award of prize form can be used. Provided Global Advancement have the name of the prize, the student's name and number, the amount of the award and an authorised signature they can process the payment of the award.
b) If the fund sits with the College then the prize request needs to be processed through Accounts Payable. The completed finance form should be sent to Accounts Payable who will arrange payment according to the instructions provided (to download this form, please select How do I complete a payment form). The payment request form should be completed in full with valid bank details and submitted with backing documentation giving details of the claim; this should be signed by an authorised signatory. Contact Accounts Payable or the College/Service Finance administrators for details of the correct authorised signatory. If the award is to be paid into a foreign bank account then the Foreign Payment request form must be completed.
Details of the award of the prize should be entered on the student's record via the College Prizes Application in the Student Record System (SRS) as 'Prize name, amount' for inclusion on the student's final transcript and Higher Education Achievement Report (to request access to this system, please contact the Student Records Team. For instructions on how to use it, see Adding prizes to student records).
The donor should also be informed. This will be done either by Global Advancement or by the College and details should be included in the Award of Prize Form.
Change of conditions
Changes to the conditions of the award of a prize require the approval of the relevant Dean of Faculty, proposed via a form available for the purpose from the Faculty Office or the Global Advancement Donor Relations Officer. (Download form: Change of Conditions.)
Such changes should carry the support of the donor and must be notified to the Global Advancement Donor Relations Officer.
Any proposal for revaluing the prize should also be discussed with Global Advancement.
Discontinuation of prizes
From time to time it may be necessary to discontinue a prize, particularly if the value no longer supports the primary objective of the prize or funding has been withdrawn completely.
To confirm the discontinuation of a prize, the Pro-Vice Chancellor and Executive Dean of College or unit involved must complete the appropriate form available from the Faculty Office or Global Advancement. This process should include, where appropriate, the expressed support of the donor (download form: Discontinuation of Prizes).
The Pro-Vice Chancellor and Executive Dean of College must ensure that the timescale for the discontinuation process is such that no approved award to a student is outstanding.

This wooden puzzle has no picture - the pieces themselves are the puzzle. This puzzle has an added twist: there are only four colors of pieces, and no two adjacent pieces are the same color (mathematically speaking, it illustrates the Four Color Map Theorem (see wikipedia for details)). The pieces were designed by Seattle artist Tara Flannery. This abstract puzzle style is inspired by the signature style of master-handcutter John Stokes III (with permission). We expect this puzzle to take 1-4 hours for the average puzzling adult. All our puzzles are made of 1/4" wood and laser-cut in the USA. Packaged in a small box with a magnetic clasp.

Osei Kwame Panyin was the ruler of the Ashanti Empire from 1777 to 1801, holding the title of Asantehene. His reign was marred by uprisings, which would eventually lead to his suicide in 1803 to prevent an Ashanti civil war.
Early life
Osei Kwame Panyin was born at some point between 1762 and 1765, to a woman named Akyaama, and Safo Kantanka, the King of Mampong. During that time, the region was a founding part of the Ashanti Empire, and was known as the Islamic gateway to the empire due to its location in the north.
Rulership
Rise to power
Prior to his death, the Ashanti King Osei Kwadwo Okoawia had declared Panyin to be his successor. However, upon Okoawia's death in 1777, when Panyin was around 17 years old, Okoawia's family members and councillors decided to ignore the former ruler's wishes resulting in an uprising by Atakora Kwame. He led an army to the Ashanti capital, Kumasi, and the northern provinces rose up in support of Panyin. Shortly after Panyin was made Asantehene (King), Kwame was overthrown from his position as councillor, leaving Panyin to deal with the political involvement of the former Queen Mother Konadu Yaadom.
Consolidation and uprising
Panyin consolidated his position over the course of the 1780s by removing former councillors from their positions and replacing them with allies. Where they could not be replaced, Panyin had those officials executed. Following the death of Yaadom's son Opoku Kwame, she accused the King of poisoning him. After Panyin refused to attend the Odwira festival, Yaadom took this as a reason to rise up against him, eventually placing Panyin under house arrest. She then proceeded to execute Panyin's former high-ranking allies.
He fled his captors, and briefly found romance in Ama Sewaa, although he would be accused of undertaking an incestuous relationship with her. When Yaadom gathered the majority of the Ashanti clans against Panyin in 1803, he committed suicide rather than trigger a civil war.

So you've picked up a safer chemistry battery and know how to avoid the most likely scenarios where a battery could go boom. This isn't the whole picture though, and the reason for this is that a given battery can only provide so much current. If you ask it for more than it can give, you're running the very serious risk of suffering a battery failure.
As with many aspects of e-cig safety, all you need to stay safe is a little bit of information and an understanding of how it applies to vaping. Plus, in most cases – aside from when sub-ohm vaping is concerned – it is unlikely to be a problem.
Ohm's law says that current = voltage / resistance, and your battery can only provide so much current.
The maximum current allowable for a given battery is listed in amps as the maximum continuous discharge rating, or calculated from the "C rating" multiplied by the battery's capacity.
For AW IMR batteries, the 2000 mAh 18650 can provide 10 amps (A), the 1600 mAh 18650 can provide 24 A, the 1100 mAh 18490 can provide 16.5 A and the 700 mAh 18350 can provide 6 A. If you're looking for maximum amp draw, the Sony US18650VCT4 (or VCT3) offers up to 30 A.
For maximum safety, choose a larger battery and keep any coils you build over 0.8 Ω, unless you're willing to do the math and understand the risk of battery failure (but lower resistances are rarely needed).
VV/VW devices have protection built in, so if you're using a mechanical e-cig mod, the best advice is to fit a safety fuse and ensure you know the batteries limits.
Do you have any advice for people interested in sub-ohm (resistance < 1 ohm) vaping with regards to battery safety?
Learning about Ohm's law is essential if you're getting into e-cig mods, but there are plenty of useful calculators you can use if you're allergic to math. The rule basically describes the relationship between voltage, resistance and current.
Think of these three quantities like a flow of water down a hosepipe connected to a faucet. The voltage is the raw input energy supply; analogous to how much you've opened the faucet to start the water flow, and the current is the flow of the energy; analogous to the speed the water flows down the hosepipe. Resistance is like friction for electronic current, like the bumps and irregularities on the inside of the pipe that slow down the flow of water.
Ditching the analogy, the voltage is the difference between charges at either end of the circuit, the current is the measure of how much electricity is flowing and the resistance (of the conductive material) opposes the flow of electricity.
Current is equal to voltage divided by resistance. Mathematically, it looks like this: I = V / R, where I is current (measured in amps, A), V is voltage (measured in volts, V) and R is resistance (measured in ohms, Ω).
Although resistance converts the electrical energy into heat (warming your atomizer coil and vaporizing your juice), current is the most important factor when it comes to vapor volume. If we set the voltage at 4 V, a resistance of 2 Ω would offer 2 A of current. If the resistance is increased to 3 Ω, the current drops and therefore your coil doesn't heat up as well (4V / 3 Ω = 1.3333… A).
Of course, the math isn't always this easy when decimal values of voltage and resistance are involved, but any calculator (even the one on your computer/cell phone by default) takes the mental arithmetic out of it.
With this information alone, you'd be forgiven for thinking that you want to pump the voltage as much as possible and keep the resistance to a minimum. However, you run into issues because any battery can only supply so much current. This is given by the maximum continuous discharge rating of the battery (there is a burst discharge rating too, but this is inapplicable to vaping), which is an amount stated in amps.
Here's a handy list of the amp limits of the most common vaping batteries, including AW IMR 18650s, 18490 and 18350 batteries. For example, an AW IMR 18650 with a capacity of 1600 mAh (a measure of the number of amps a battery can provide over time before it needs recharging – this will be listed on the body of any battery) can handle 24 A, and an 18350 with 700 mAh can handle 6 A of current.
If – for whatever reason – you can't get hold of the amp limit for your battery, you can calculate it easily based on the C-rating of the battery. To turn this C-rating into a continuous current draw limit, you simply multiply it by the capacity of the battery and then convert the result (which will be in milliamps, 1/1000 of an amp) into amps.
So for the AW IMR 18650 with a capacity of 1600 mAh and a C rating of 15, the amp limit is given by 1600 mAh × 15 C = 24000 mA. Since 1 mA is 1/1000 A, 24000 mA is 24000/1000 = 24 A. If you're within this limit, the battery can handle what you're asking for. Keep in mind, though, that this isn't a definitive value, just an average, so it's better to assume the safe limit is a little lower than that stated.
Now the issue can be investigated pretty clearly. With an IMR 18350 battery with a maximum continuous discharge current of 6 A, it's unlikely you'll hit a limit unless you're using a coil with a resistance of lower than 1 Ω. Using 1.5 Ω at 3.5 V, the amps you're requesting comes to 3.5 V / 1.5 Ω = 2.3333… A, well within the safe usage limits of even the small battery.
When you drop the resistance to 0.5 Ω, you're requesting 3.5 V / 0.5 Ω = 7 A from the battery. This is beyond the capability of the battery and therefore is virtually asking for trouble. If you were using a 2000 mAh IMR 18650 battery – with an amp limit of 10 A – you'd still be in the safe zone, which underlines the benefits of a larger battery for anybody interested in sub-ohm vaping.
Using Ohm's law and the information given on the maximum continuous discharge rating for your battery, you can ensure you stay safe when you're vaping. The best advice, in terms of safety, is to only use coils with a minimum resistance of around 0.8 to 1 Ω, and if you're vaping on low resistance, ensure you have a capable battery.
This minimum resistance isn't a definitive rule, strictly speaking (if you've done the math and you know you won't be overworking your battery), but it reduces the possibility of problems significantly, and you'll still get amazing performance from your atomizer. If you're doing the calculations yourself to ensure your battery can cope, be wary of approaching the limit. You're still affecting the overall lifespan of the battery if you run it close to its maximum output current, so it's better to leave some wiggle room.
With the information given here, you can theoretically vape safely on any device, but VV/VW (variable voltage or variable wattage) devices have protective measures against mistakes, so if you ask for too much from your battery, the device will refuse to comply.
For mechanical e-cig mods, the protection isn't always built in, so it's all down to you to determine if your battery can provide what you're asking for. The same goes for an atomizer short; VV/VW mods will let you know something is wrong, mechanical mods without a safety fuse will let you push your battery to breaking point.

At the recent N.Y.C.A. County Championships our Under 12 team came joint second out of ten teams. This is their highest ever placing in this competition and only bettered by the U.16 team sharing first place over ten years ago.
The final scores out of 48 were: Sussex 34.5, South Wales 34, Greater Manchester 34, Kent 27.5, Cheshire and North Wales 24.5, Lancashire 24.5, Yorkshire 23.5, Warwickshire 23.5, Berkshire 21.5,Staffordshire 16.5.
Our reserve, Rhydian Downing, was also joint winner of the reserves tournament !
On the same day our U.16 team came seventh out of eleven. This was quite a good result, as a Cardiff junior team containing several strong U.16 players was participating in a tournament in Oxford on the same day.

Armed Forces Recreation Centers (AFRCs) provide relaxation, leisure, recreation and sustainment for military personnel, their families and different members of the Complete Protection Power. Disability Travel and Recreation Sources – This is a collection of web hyperlinks compiled by Mr. Jim Lubin who has quadriplegia and uses a ventilator. Particular Globe – An accessible journey website created by a mom of a kid with a incapacity based mostly on her household's private journey experiences. Our travel program is designed for people with differing skills who're 18 years or older. Access Adventures: an assisted journey program for adults with differing skills who are searching for a memorable expertise. It consists of tips on planning, lodging, transportation, dining and purchasing as well as journey stories shared by other households. MParks members – we encourage you to share these Travel Packages with residents!
Notification of withdrawal must be given to Journey Office Staff a minimum of one (1) week prior to the scheduled trip. Though the pay is generally not as excessive as in different industries, jobs in travel and tourism provide employees with an pleasurable atmosphere, flexible hours and opportunities to satisfy new individuals. The individual, workforce/group is eligible for 1 travel grant from the Metropolis of Edmonton per calendar 12 months. Quickly after beginning its work, the management workforce recognized that to be able to impression your entire out of doors recreation economic system, varied sides should be considered.
The specialization in Leisure Sport Management/Recreation Administration is designed to arrange graduate college students for leadership roles within the leisure sport management trade. This system offers college students the background in management for organizations that present recreation and leisure companies in all kinds of venues. Within the event that a trip is cancelled by the Parks and Recreation Department, a full refund might be issued. This history of leisure and recreation goes far back in time, however leisure and recreation actually took off when the Industrial Revolution hit Nice Britain in the 1700s.
Making sport, leisure and childcare services available to everyone is at the core of the Access to Leisure scheme which is available to residents of Aberdeen City that meet a single of the circumstances outlined below. If you travel to Leisure Planet by bus between 7 November 2016 and 26 February 2017, you can use your ticket to claim a totally free hot drink at our Coffee Shop in the Welcome Zone. If you have a single web site membership you will only have access to the leisure centre covered within the membership. Sports and youth activities offer leadership development for adults and children. They worked long hours in the factories, but they also had time off, and most employers gave at least some holidays off. Train with our expert coach and other individuals like you – Swim Squad is appropriate for these below 25 years and is Free with your Stanmore Bay Pool and Leisure Centre membership. The Leisure Pass Group has partnerships with some of the world's largest travel and tour operators.
Although beach vacations are timeless—you really do not require much much more than a comfortable resort, warm waters, and a great book to read—tack on a bit a lot more time if you are visiting these places: Tofino, in British Columbia, has a wild food scene Honolulu will host its initial arts biennial this year and Málaga has amazing hidden museums.
The inner joyfulness of the individual who is celebrating belongs to the really core of what we mean by leisure… Leisure is only achievable in the assumption that man is not only in harmony with himself … but also he is in agreement with the planet and its meaning.
If the Industrial Revolution helped produce the history of leisure and recreation, the 20th century helped cement it. Workers demanded shorter operating hours, paid vacations and holidays, and weekends off, major to even a lot more leisure time for the world's workforce.

Very few computers make a statement just by sitting on top of your desk.

WiredA breathtaking display of technology and design that's as impressive whether it's on or off. Great performance. Unparalleled display in the all-in-one space.
TiredWill challenge most desks' available space. Weird little mouse and Podunk keyboard included.
Very few computers make a statement just by sitting on top of your desk. HP's latest update of the Envy 34 all-in-one is one of them.
A major revamp of the previous generation of the Envy 34, this latest iteration rearranges the components by detaching the CPU from the back of the screen and putting it instead in a sturdy base. From that base, a single post rises to support the screen. All of the PC's innards can be found in this discreet foundation, including a beefy and loud Bang & Olufsen speaker bar with four drivers (and two passive radiators) that fire sound waves right at your head.
Naturally there are plenty of guts in this box, too: A 2.9GHz Core i7, 16 gigs of RAM, dual storage drives including a 256 gigabyte SSD and a terabyte hard drive, and an AMD Radeon RX 460 graphics card. All of these are desktop components, not mobile parts repurposed into a desktop case. The back and right side of the base are festooned with ports, including a USB-C port, four standard USB ports, Ethernet, an SD card slot, and HDMI in and out (which means you can use the Envy as a monitor for your Xbox if the mood strikes you). Power is supplied through a separate port—and a monstrous brick attached to it.
On top of the base, you'll find two additional features: a handy touch-sensitive volume wheel and a Qi-compatible wireless charging hotspot for your phone.
The screen of course is the star: 34 inches curved to wrap around your head. The idea, says HP, is that every horizontal point of the screen should be equidistant from your eyes, and the new Envy 34 has a tighter radius than HP's previous curved all-in-one, in recognition that users are sitting closer than expected to the display. Featuring a resolution of 3440 x 1440 pixels, Technicolor-certified color reproduction, and eye-searing brightness, it's a real joy to behold. It's almost too much.
None of that would matter if the Envy wasn't a dazzling performer, and the good news is that it is. It shattered records on general performance benchmarks and turned in top-flight (though not bleeding-edge) gaming and graphics numbers as well. It takes some time to adapt to the curved screen, but once you do it becomes amazingly immersive—particularly if you have a video source that is actually making use of all those pixels.
The only fault I can find with the device: I'm not really enamored with the throwaway mouse and keyboard that HP bundles with the machine. Why not just knock $30 off the price—at $1,999, surprisingly reasonable for what you get—and I'll bring my own?

Martin Hayes is artistic director for the "Masters of Tradition" series, and will be appearing in the first two installments.
"Virtual Celtic" explores online concerts, festivals, workshops, and other events that feature or include Celtic music. Please note that details may have changed, or the events may have been postponed or cancelled, since press time.
•Dublin's National Concert Hall and the Arts Council's "Refractions" concert series includes the return of its "Tradition Now" showcase from Sept. 30 through Oct. 3, with an impressive array of performances that will be available online:
"The Golden Thread," with Iarla Ó Lionaird and Steve Cooney – the former being an outstanding Gaelic singer who has been part of Afro Celtic Sound System and, more recently, The Gloaming; the latter one of the more ubiquitous and talented guitar players in the Irish folk/trad music revival. They'll be joined by pianist Ryan Molloy, who bridges traditional Irish and classical music.
Edwina Guckian, an acclaimed Irish dance performer and teacher who's appeared with the likes of Altan, De Danann, and Dervish, among others; and All-Ireland champion concertina player Caitlín Nic Gabhann, one-third of the popular music, song and dance trio The High Seas.
Andy Irvine, who presumably shouldn't need much in the way of an introduction by now, presenting "The Woody Guthrie Project" with fiddler/mandolinist/guitarist Rens van der Zalm.
Thomas McCarthy, who carries on the Irish Traveller song and storytelling tradition of his family, and was the 2019 TG4 Gradam Ceoil Singer of the Year award winner.
Austrian-born fiddler Claudia Schwab, noted for her genre-crossing works and collaborations with many Irish artists, including Dervish's Cathy Jordan, who'll be joining her for the premiere of Schawb's commission, which draws on the rich, ancient mythology abundant in the landscape of her newly found home in Sligo.
Clare concertina player Jack Talty, leading an ensemble in a collaboration that "honors the centrality of solo performance while also exploring sympathies between traditional ensemble playing and minimalist composition" – and inspired by the playing of the late, beloved uilleann piper Liam O'Flynn, no less.
You can buy tickets to catch the livestream of these events at nch.ie/Online.
•The all-virtual West Cork Music "Masters of Tradition" weekly series also gets under way at the end of September, beginning on the 29th with a "conversation" between County Clare fiddler Martin Hayes – the series' artistic director – and American/old-timey fiddler and multi-instrumentalist Bruce Molsky (who's a member of Irish/American/pan-European band Mozaik, with Andy Irvine, Rens van der Zalm, Donal Lunny and Nikola Parov).
On Oct. 6, Hayes will team up with aforementioned guitarist Steve Cooney and uilleann piper David Power, whose resumé includes appearances in theatrical productions ("Love's Pure Light," "The Field") and with poets like Kerry Hardie and Clodagh Beresford-Dunne.
Musical settings of poems by William Butler Yeats will be in the spotlight on Oct. 13, with Irish singer and composer Christine Tobin, guitarist Phil Robson , and multi-instrumentalist Francesco Turris. The program focuses on the full spectrum of Yeats's poetry and draws on folk, jazz and 20th-century classical influences.
A fascinating mix of genres and sounds for Oct. 20, as David Power adds his uilleann pipes to John Walsh's flamenco guitar and Marja Gaynor's baroque violin, integrating Irish, contemporary, baroque, and 19th-century music.
Steve Cooney is back on Oct. 27 with accordionist Derek Hickey (formerly of De Dannan and Arcady) alongside Doireann Ní Ghríofa, a poet who writes in English and Gaelic and has six books of poetry to her credit as well as the award-winning "A Ghost in the Throat," a blend of memoir, literary studies and autofiction.
Each "Masters of Tradition" concert will be broadcast twice: first in Irish Standard Time (GMT +1) and then again in US/Eastern Time. Concerts will be available to view on demand for a period of 48 hours following the North American broadcast. For tickets, go to ourconcerts.live/masters; for more on the series, see www.westcorkmusic.ie/masters-of-tradition/programme.

BBC goes rogue with digital Guerrilla Group
Based in Birmingham, England's manufacturing and enterprise hub, the BBC's new digital innovation unit will be dedicated to producing experimental forms of content using new technology.
By Todd Longwell
The BBC is creating a new digital innovation unit, dubbed The Guerrilla Group, based in Birmingham, England's second-most populous city.
Launching later this year, The Guerrilla Group will be headquartered at Birmingham's Fazeley Studios, alongside other cutting-edge digitally-minded companies. The BBC expects it to be fully operational by 2015.
According to a statement from the BBC, The Guerilla Group's team of storytellers and engineers will have the freedom to produce new experimental forms of content, using new technology, with the goal of engaging younger, more diverse audiences.
Whether that will result in cool smartphone apps, groundbreaking digital miniseries, or 3D holograms projected from flying cars remains to be seen.
To outsiders, Birmingham may seem like an odd choice for the London-based BBC to launch a new unit, but the city, best known as a manufacturing hub, has gained a reputation as a technology center in recent years. That rep was reinforced in 2011 when the British government designated the city an Enterprise Zone, with simplified planning rules, super-fast broadband and over £150 million in tax breaks for new businesses.

Almighty, everlasting God, behold, I approach the sacrament of our Only-begotten Son, our Lord Jesus Christ. I come to it as a sick man to the physician who will save his life, as a man unclean to the fountain of mercy, a blind man to the radiance of eternal light, one poor and needy to the Lord O heaven and earth; praying that in your boundless generosity you will deign to cure my sickness, wash my defilement away, enlighten my blindness, enrich my poverty, and clothe my nakedness.
May the Bread of angels, the King of kings and Lord of Lords, be received by me with such humble reverence and devout contrition, such part of his mystical body and to be rec faith and purity, and such good resolutions as may help the salvation of my soul. Grant me grace, I beseech you, to receive not only the sacrament of our Lord's body and blood, but also its inward power and effect. All-gentle God, grant that my receiving of that body, taken from the virgin Mary's womb by your Only-begotten Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, may fit me to become part of his mystical body and to be reckoned one of its members. Most loving Father, grant that your beloved Son whom I, an earthly wayfarer, am now to receive in his sacramental guise, may one day give me sight of his face and let me gaze upon him for all eternity; who is God, living and reigning with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit for ever and ever. Amen.
O Mother of pity and loving kindness, most blessed virgin Mary, I, a worthless and wretched sinner, fly to you in heartfelt love and confidence, entreating your compassion. You who stood by your dear Son when he hung upon the cross, have pity and deign to stand by me too, wretched sinner that I am and by all the priests who are offering Mass this day, here and elsewhere throughout holy Church.
By the help of your favour enable us to offer a sacrifice that shall be worthy and acceptable in the sight of the most high and undivided Trinity. Amen.
I thank you, holy Lord, almighty Father, eternal God, who deigned to feast me , sinful and unworthy servant, with the precious body and blood of your Son, Jesus Christ our Lord, not for any merit of mine, but only because of your merciful goodness. And I pray that this holy communion, far from condemning me to punishment, may bring about my pardon and salvation, encompassing me with the armour of faith and the shield of a good will. By it let my vices be done away, all lustful desires extinguished. May it advance me in charity, patience, humility, obedience, and every other virtue. Let it be strong defence against the wiles of all my enemies, visible and invisible, allaying for me every disturbance of flesh and spirit, binding me firmly to you, the one true God, and bringing my last hour to a happy close. I pray, too, that it may be your pleasure to call my sinful self one day to that banquet, wonderful past all telling where you, with your Son and the Holy Spirit, feast your saints with the vision of yourself, who are true light, the fulfillment of all desires, the joy that knows no ending, gladness unalloyed and perfect bliss: through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.
Take all my freedom, Lord; accept the whole of my memory, understanding, and will. Whatever I have or hold comes to me from your bounty, I give it all back to you, surrender it all to the guidance of your will. Your grace and the love of you are wealth enough: give me but that, and I ask for nothing more.
My good and dearest Jesus, lo, I kneel before you beseeching and praying you with all the ardour of my soul to engrave deep and vivid impressions of faith, hope, and charity upon my heart, with true repentance for my sins, and a very firm resolve to make amends. Meanwhile I ponder over your five wounds, dwelling upon them with deep compassion and grief, and recalling the words that the prophet David long ago put into your mouth, good Jesus, concerning yourself: they have pierced my hands and my feet; they have counted all my bones!
Before confession examine your conscience by going through the ten commandments. In the confessional make the sign of the cross and say, In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, Amen. Then say, "Bless me Father for I have sinned". (It is helpful if you mention the length of time since your last confession.) If you have been away a long time you can tell the priest you wish to make a general confession and he will ask questions which you just answer, sometimes it is easier this way.
Most people today have difficulties with going to confession. Priests today are a lot more understanding and sympathetic to those fears, so do not hesitate to make them known to the Priest and he will help you. He is there to help and guide you, if asked.
After telling your sins, say "for these and all the sins of my life, I am heartily sorry". The priest may talk to you for a short time and then give you penance and invite you to say a good act of contrition while he is giving absolution.
OMy God, I am heartily sorry for having offended You and I detest my sins because I fear the loss of heaven and the pain of Hell, but most of all because they offend You my God, who are so good and deserving of all my love, and I firmly resolve with the help of your grace never more to offend you, and to amend my life. Amen. The priest will finally say: Go in the peace and love of Christ. Go out of the confessional and say your penance in the Church.
The Holy Rosary is composed of twenty decades, each decade consisting of the Our Father, the Hail Mary, and the Glory be to the Father; and each being recited in honour of some mystery in the life of Our Lord and of His Blessed Mother.
During each decade, we should call to mind the mystery which it is intended to honour, and pray that we may learn to practice the virtue specially taught us by that mystery.
A plenary indulgence may be gained, under the usual conditions for the recitation of the Rosary (five decades are sufficient), in a church or public oratory or in the family. If the Rosary is said privately a partial indulgence may be gained.
I am going to show you a secret about holiness and happiness. For five minutes every day let your imagination be quiet, close your eyes to everything they see, and shut your ears to all of the world's noise, so that you can withdraw into the sanctuary of your baptised soul, temple of the Holy Spirit. There, speak to the Holy Spirit saying:Holy Spirit, Soul of my soul, I adore You. Enlighten me, guide me, strengthen and comfort me. Show me what I ought to do and command me to do it. I promise to submit to anything You require from me, and to accept everything You allow to happen to me. Simply show me what is Your Will. Amen. Your life will be quiet and peaceful, and grace will be given to match any trial, leading you to the gates of heaven full of merit. Such docility to the Holy Spirit is the secret of holiness and happiness.
Jesus, may Your pure and healthy blood circulate in my ailing organism, and may Your pure and healthy body transform my weak unhealthy body, and may a healthy and vigorous life flow within me, if it is truly Your holy will, Amen.
Continually being set for the souls of priests.
Inspired with this confidence, I come to you, and with all the ardor of my spirit I commend myself to you. Do not reject my prayer, O Foster Father of the Saviour, but graciously receive and answer it. Amen.
OLord, behold here before You a soul who exists in this world in order to allow You to exercise Your admirable MERCY and manifest it before heaven and earth. Others may glorify You through their faithfulness and perseverance, thus making evident the power of Your grace. How sweet and generous You are to those who are faithful too You!
Nevertheless I will glorify You by acquainting others of Your goodness to sinners and by reminding them that Your MERCY is above all malice, that nothing can exhaust it, and that no relapse, no matter how shameful or criminal, should allow the sinner to despair of forgiveness.
I have offended You grievously, O beloved Redeemer, but it would be still worse if I were to offend You by thinking that You were lacking in goodness to forgive me. I would rather be deprived of everything else than the TRUST I have in Your MERCY.
O merciful Jesus, lover of souls, I beseech You, by the agony of Your Most Sacred Heart and by the sorrows of Your immaculate Mother, wash clean in Your Blood the sinners of the whole world who are not in their final agony but especially those on their way to eternal damnation and who are to die this day.
Heart of Jesus who suffered death's agony, I beg You have mercy on these poor souls.

Shoshi Herscu
Mass Awakening Undo
AN EXPOSÉ ON DARK AGENDAS AND HOW PEOPLE ARE FIGHTING BACK The Truth has been hidden from us while a global policy of mass depopulation and exploitation has been carried out behind the scenes for the past half-century. The author, an independent journalist, became aware of this agenda only in the past few years. She found it hard to believe, but in-depth research and the testimony of whistleblowers worldwide have exposed these strategies. They include geoengineering (chemtrails), fluoridation of water supplies, GMOs, vaccinations, false flag terrorist attacks, and economic warfare by the group David Wilcock calls the Cabal. However, despite this grim reality, a positive shift of mass awakening is occurring worldwide. Tribunals are being established to prosecute elite offenders; revelations of hidden technology like free-energy and new economic models are being put forth. The author shows how humanity is claiming its rightful heritage as spiritual beings and charts the course of our elevation of consciousness. MASS AWAKENING gives us all real hope for an amazing future. Mass Awakening is Shoshi Herscu's well researched and yet profoundly personal handling of intensely shocking material, rarely covered in print. It is both a true inspiration and a much- needed breath of fresh air. Ada Tourtsakis PrepareForChangeLeadership.org
An investigative journalist and an activist. Shoshi Herscu has an MBA degree from the University of Humberside in Hull, England (today, The University of Lincoln), and is a graduate (BA degree in English linguistics and special education) of the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, Israel. She worked as a journalist for PCON magazine, which is an IT magazine for CIOs and CTOs in major companies and organizations in Israel for several years. In this position, she wrote in-depth articles on a wide array of advanced technologies, such as encryption, the Dark Net, analytic tools, protecting the corporate website. She also interviewed opinion leaders in the Israeli hi-tech arena. She then worked as the content manager of IsraelAgri.com, the international Israeli agriculture portal, where she wrote articles on Israeli agriculture and interviewed opinion leaders in this field.

Dumbing Down the Population
In order to control the masses, the dark controllers, Cabal, are dumbing down humanity. They dumb down the most vulnerable in our society: children. How they do it, among other means? By medicating them.
Medicating children by apparently inventing conditions such as ADHD is another way of dumbing down our children. Alan Schwarz recently published his book ADHD Nation, a term he coined to describe the widespread mishandling and misdiagnosis of the disorder. In the book he cites statistics from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), that approximately 11% of children between the ages of 4 and 17 have been diagnosed with A.D.H.D. as of 2011.

Q: how can I overcome existing css and change button style to the default windows style button? Problem: An existing resource dependency (which I'm not permitted to alter or remove from the build) which contains a stylesheet that dictates an unwanted button style. I want to somehow overcome the influence that this stylesheet has on the button style in my page.
Question: Using my own local stylesheet, how can I revert to the default Windows css button style (background, shape, text)? -I dont know what the css attributes should be, etc. (I assume I would have to use the "!important" phrase, etc.)
A: Each browser has its own set of default CSS rules. There is no "Windows" CSS unless you're explicitly referring to IE which does its best to match said style. You'll need to find your preferred browser's defaults and append them after the new CSS to overrule them back to the default theme.
Some common browser default styles:
*
*Firefox
*Chrome
*IE
A: Don't use !important
Instead define your button styles with higher specificity and give your buttons the desired look. So if in the original stylesheet you have
button { ... }
then in your stylesheet do
#parent button { ... }
A: You won't, and shouldn't, use !important. You just need to properly override following the principles of CSS specificity and inheritance.
Explanation of CSS Inheritance
For example--let's say your 'unwanted' button style is something like this:
<input type="button" class="unwanted" />
And you've got CSS in your (uneditable) style sheet:
.unwanted {
fooRule: whatever;
barRule: whatever;
}
Using inheritance, you just need to write your own external stylesheet. Things to remember:
(1) You should put it below the existing that contains the 'unwanted' stylesheet reference. Inheritance processes external stylesheets sequentially. This follows the 'closest rule wins' principle.
(2) The way you write the CSS rule must be MORE specific than the rule that currently applies the unwanted style. Again, the above link really helps explain this.
Going back to our previous example, the unwanted style is being applied simply by a class of 'unwanted'. Your rule can override without editing the HTML. Alternately you can edit the HTML--it's up to you. It also depends on how globally you want to affect button styles.
If you want to globally affect all buttons with 'unwanted' class, you would do:
input[type='button'] .unwanted {
fooRule:override;
}
If you only want to change SOME of the buttons that have a style of unwanted, you would instead do:
.unwanted.newRule {
fooRule:override;
}
And then you would mod your HTML to be:
<input type="button" class="unwanted newRule">
Note that .unwanted.newRule means it will only impact 'elements' with a class of both unwanted and newRule. It would not change anything if the unwanted style is set up like this:
<form class="unwanted">
<input type="button" class="newRule" />
</form>
The reason being .unwanted.newRule means 'both classes are on the same element'. You would change it to :
.unwanted .newRule {foo}
So--my point is, there are a ton of semantically correct ways to CORRECTLY utilize CSS specificity and inheritance, and do what you want to do, without having to use !important.
On a side note, the only reason you'd have to use !important is if the css styling the button is actually being applied using javascript that writes 'style' attributes to the HTML element. If that is the case, (1) don't use that JS, as that is a horrible method for styling using JS, (2) you will have to use !important to override the inline style being applied by the JS. Again, this is because of how cascading works--in this case, CSS is applied by (1) browser (user agent), (2) external css, (3) internal 'head' css, (4) internal inline css, (5) author !important declarations, (6) user !important declarations.

The Cause of Success
How easy would it be for you to define the cause of success? Well, I guess first we would have to define what success is and, obviously, success means different things to different people.
How easy would it be for you to define the cause of success? Well, I guess first we would have to define what success is and, obviously, success means different things to different people. (At this point I will leave it up to you to discover your own definition of success.)
One of the things that I have noticed in the corporate world is that everyone is constantly searching for causes of failure, so I have to ask myself, why isn't anyone searching for the causes of success?
It all comes down to mindset. Unfortunately, we are conditioned to look for the negative rather than the positive. If we evaluate why something didn't work out, it gives us a chance to moan and complain. On the other hand, it would come as a surprise to most people if you were to ask them to please share the causes of their success with the group.
There are, of course, companies out there who are consciously on a journey to success, but they are the minority.
A mindset of targets, profits, numbers and facts is the norm in most workplaces, and most leaders seem to forget that, in order to get the numbers, they have to have their people on board. Many people in manufacturing have a very analytical and logical mind, and it is in their nature to require proof in order to believe that something is possible.
Don't get me wrong, facts are important as long as they don't dominate the workplace, and don't destroy people's desire to make things happen. In my opinion, FACTS can stand for Fear And Complacency Threaten Success.
Sometimes we refuse to believe things we don't understand, but this is also how we create our own limitations.
Just think about Henry Ford when he decided that he wanted to build his now famous V-8 engine. He worked against the odds, and all the experts told him that it was impossible. Henry Ford's formal education was limited, but who can say that only book-smart people are smart people?
Ford's desire, his strong will and his persistence helped him to succeed even when people told him countless times that it could not be done. That's exactly the mindset we have to develop, and we have to teach this mindset to the people we work with.
Recently, I facilitated a workshop for a group of shop floor employees. It continues to amaze me what is possible when you show a sincere interest in a person, and not only listen, but also hear what he or she has to say. It is all about showing a genuine interest in their challenges and concerns, and finding out the real reasons for their frustration because that's when the energy in the room starts to shift.
The same applies on the shop floor and that's what you want. You want the energy to shift to be able to develop a success-oriented mindset within yourself and your team. Why don't we think that the pursuit of perfection is everyone's job? Why have we settled for mediocrity? Why are we trying to secure the right answers instead of pursuing the right questions? How do you think your bottom line is impacted when your employees are negative, frustrated and stressed?
If you want to succeed, do not label people, and do not give them the feeling that they are inferior or stupid, and offer no value just because they work on the factory floor. They are the cause for success because that's where the money is made.
These are the people who have to ensure that a quality product leaves the door, these are the people who give 100 percent if you don't take their self-worth away, and these are the people who are the specialists in what they do, and can offer incredible assistance and support in the area of continuous improvement and innovation.
Unfortunately, most shop floor employees are still seen as bodies and not as minds. My shocking observation is that most employees are not used to using their brain, and what's even worse is that they are actually not allowed to use their brain. Isn't it our responsibility to teach them and to help them to look at their job with different eyes?
If you want to explore the cause of success, go to your people, talk to them, build trust and listen to what they have to say. It is the secret recipe for success to make them a part of your success.
How do you view your workforce? What's your take? Please feel free to comment below or email Lindner via karin@karicosolultions.com For more information, please visit www.karicosolutions.com.

The internationally renowned steakhouse from Brazil, Fogo de Chão announces its newest location will open on Monday, March 26, in Plano's Legacy West development.
Celebrating the brand's 40-year history by showcasing new ways to dine in an elevated setting, Fogo de Chão has a rich history dating back to 1975 when two founding brothers left their quaint countryside in Rio Grande da Sul for formal churrasqueiro training and development of the Fogo concept. In 1979, the first Fogo restaurant opened and by 1997, at the requests of loyal American guests, the Fogo concept was exported to the U.S. with a stateside debut in Dallas, Texas.
Upon entering today's flagship restaurant, guests will have a panoramic view of the dining room, an expansive Bar Fogo area including a covered outdoor patio, and a 16-foot bas-relief interpretation of Antônio Caringi's famous statue, O Laçador, an embodiment of the gaucho culture of Southern Brazil.
Fogo de Chão also relocated its global headquarters to Legacy West, which includes a state-of-the-art test kitchen and bar to continue to focus on global food and beverage innovation.
The Fogo Legacy West culinary team is proudly led by Head Gaucho Marcos Nascimento. Hailing from Belo Horizonte, Brazil, he first learned the gaucho style of cooking from his father at the age of fourteen. His team of Brazilian-trained gaucho chefs personally butchers all of the meats in-house, roasts them over an open fire, and then carves each piece tableside.
The Full Churrasco Experience – the traditional menu including all premium and classic cuts, plus the Market Table & Feijoada Bar, which includes seasonal salads, imported charcuterie and cheeses, fresh vegetables, Feijoada (traditional black bean stew) and family-style service of authentic Brazilian side dishes.
The Dry Aged Experience – exclusively on Friday and Saturday nights in Legacy West, guests can treat themselves to premium cuts of dry-aged meat, all aged in-house for a minimum of 45 days.
Brazilian Cuts for $39 – featuring continual service of the most popular beef, chicken, lamb and pork cuts of Brazil, with the Market Table & Feijoada Bar and Brazilian Sides.
Select Cut starting at $29 – Guest chooses one selection of fire-roasted meat to accompany the Market Table & Feijoada Bar and Brazilian sides.
Churrasco Bar: A first-ever experience, the new Churrasco Bar offers guests front-row access to the open kitchen and the churrasqueira grill. Here every table is truly a Chef's Table.
Market Table: The seasonal Market Table is inspired by the grand kitchen tables on the farms of Southern Brazil where family and friends gather to share the finest vegetables, slaws, and salads from the harvest. The Market Table is nearly 100% gluten-free and includes a wide selections of proteins, superfoods, and vggetarian choices.
Weekday Lunch starting at $15: Includes the seasonal Market Table & Feijoada Bar plus family-style service of Brazilian side dishes. Guests may choose to add a single selection of fire-roasted meat, or have the Full Churrasco Experience.
Weekend Brazilian Brunch: A weekend feast with family and friends includes the full churrasco experience combined with the Market Table and special Brazilian-inspired breakfast items like Pão de Queijo Egg Bake and Braised Beef Rib Hash.
Bar Fogo: Guests can experience Fogo de Chão in a more casual setting while enjoying small plates like Braised Beef Rib Sliders, Churrasco Meat Boards, or fresh house-ground Picanha Burger. A special happy hour offers $4 Brazilian Bites and Beers, $6 South American Wines and $8 Crafted Cocktails in the bar and on the patio.
Seafood: Brazilian-inspired seafood options are available a-la-carte, including shrimp and lobster appetizers, Mango Chilean Sea Bass and a Seafood Tower.
Group and Private Dining: Whether celebrating a special birthday or hosting a large corporate meeting, Fogo de Chão has become the place for group and private dining internationally. The Legacy West location is well-suited for groups of all sizes with customizable menus, beautiful private and semi-private dining spaces, and complimentary A/V equipment.
A dining experience for all ages, children six and under enjoy complimentary dining at Fogo de Chão and ages 7-12 dine at half price for the full Churrasco experience. Beverages, desserts, tax and gratuity are additional.

HTML (in my question) page is connected to another page with a table that includes all the names of the persons in the json file. What needed is, whenever clicked on a name in the table, it should take me to the employee.html (the html page that I included in my question) but with the information of that person.
A: I am assuming you want to loop through the JSON and update the innerHTML of the individual elements. This code below can help you achieve this, note though you have to ensure that your HTML element name must match the name of the JSON property. Ex. this code will not work for:
document.getElementById("image").src = `${json[0].picture}`;
It should be:
document.getElementById("picture").src = `${json[0].picture}`;
So before using the solution update your image element to:
<img src="" id="picture" />
To show multiple persons use this solution, I added two loops, the outer loop will loop through each person record:
Modify your <ul>...</ul> to <ul id="personList">...</ul>

Review: "Ma" – Tate Taylor
Thrilling, oppressive, psychological – that is the model that the company Blumehouse is standing for. The production company has proven in recent years that it hasn't yet shaken up the cinematic landscape enough, but that a new wave of horror film has opened up. In this new genre representative Olivia Spencer is supposed to keep the horror in suspense. For her newest project she teamed up with director Tate Taylor ("Girl on the Train"), for whose film "The Help" she has won her Oscar in 2012 and enters a new experimental territory while slipping into the mind of "Ma". Oscar winner Allison Janney ("I, Tonya") and actor Luke Evans ("Beauty and the Beast") also fulfill the cast, but is a star studded cast really enough to produce a good horror movie?
Quelle: Universal Pictures
From the very beginning the viewer is drawn into the plot and made familiar with the characters. First and foremost is the protagonist Maggie, played by Diana Silvers and her friends group, which is refreshingly loosen up the plot. Tate Taylor manages to to muster comedic moments into the story and notes simple elements of the coming-of-age genre into the twisted nightmare. Through he doesn't mature this elements as much as Andy Muschietti does in his remake of Stephen King's "It", the elements of friendship, first love and family are only good for the plot and give it a very modern touch. Whereby you also have to forgive the movie a lot to enjoy it – the audience will love and hate it for the wrong reasons, because "Ma" feels like a soap opera with a few twists and turns in the end. Even though the young actors all perform solidly, their characters all act unreasonable and naive in most situations. "Ma" makes use of the most common film clichés, because exactly these plot strands have been seen in countless film adaptations before: the typical romance, the daredevil group leader or the class clown, whose laughing pass away sooner or later. And this is exactly the reason why it's so refreshing to see Octavia Spencer in this movie, who blossoms in her role and has an undeniable screen presence. As a vengeful troublemaker she manages to create foolish paradoxical moments again and again, but also convinces in her more serious sequences. Her facial expressions offer a range from being a nice neighbor from next door to an outsider, who is striving for personal retaliation, who manages to catch the audience in a way, that you can't do nothing but be stunned and want to know more about this certain character. Instead the script makes you wonder over and over again what Su Ann might be capable of.
They're not came to play: Maggie (Diana Silvers) meets Ma (Octavia Spencer)
Although the movie manages to entertain during it's run time of 99 minutes and causes discomfort in you, especially the more blood comes into hand, the plot of "Ma" doesn't testify to originality at all. However, it's all the more invigorating that after "Us" by Jordan Peele a dark-skinned woman is allowed to play the leading role in a horror movie for the second time this year. Nevertheless, it would have been desirable to incorporate the sporadically shown flashbacks from Su Ann's past into the plot in a more creative way, because the movie gives away it's potential by only letting the viewer scratch on the surface and not going further into depths to look into the mysterious head of Octavia Spencer's character Su Ann. The film is oriented to clear stylistic elements of the horror genre, due to the oscillation between expectant suspense and bloody splashed, but drifts more and more into narrative madness in the third act, which makes the moviegoer doubt its credibility. Although Tate Taylor's latest horror flick convinces with coherent pictures and the necessary entertainment factor, the result feels more like a B-movie, which is just for entertainment, even though the promising cast made us hope for more.
Bottom line is that "Ma" sadly can't keep up with some other genre representatives, who are just bubbling over with new ideas and refresh the wheel of horror movies. However, if you can accept that you are only presented with a mediocre film, which nevertheless takes one or the other surprising turn, then this will be a guilty pleasure to watch. The narrative pattern fits to the story, but be prepared that it will drift to absurdity in the last quarter of the run time. The final twist seems like a last concession to the whole genre, which however won't satisfy the viewer when the credits roll onto the screen. Nonetheless, "Ma" is a really accessible movie, which probably arouses the interest of more people than just horror fans and makes you feel welcome at "Ma's"!

InfoWorks, an award-winning management consulting company, announced that Lane Newsom has joined its team as a principal consultant. Newsom, a seasoned professional with 15 years of change management and business strategy experience, will help promote the healthcare services practice of the company and engage with clients to drive stakeholder experience and activation through major business transformations.
Newsom's experience includes leading organizations of all sizes, from startups to Fortune 10 companies, through business critical transformations. Her specialties include cross-functional process redesign, organizational design, and aligning IT with business and operational units.
Prior to joining InfoWorks, Newsom most recently served as a senior leader at a global consulting firm and expert practitioner in change management. She also spent many years working for Microsoft in marketing and business development. Her expertise includes organizational readiness and strategy, stakeholder engagement, internal and external communications, partner and vendor management, outsourcing, and technology transformation.
"The business of healthcare continues to change in fundamental ways," said Newsom. "Swift and effective change is critical in all care settings to handle the ongoing external pressures of technology, regulation, and revenue management. Without engaging all stakeholders in the design and execution of transformations, a change can cause unintended consequences, from lost dollars to unwanted attrition of critical team members.
"As a consultant, I've worked with many companies to plan and execute strategies to realize the benefits of changes of all kinds: technology, managed services, acquisitions and more. I'm looking forward to helping InfoWorks drive similar value for their clients," she said.
Newsom earned a Bachelor of Science in Math and a Master of Science in Computer Science and Engineering from the University of Florida, as well as her MBA in Strategy from Vanderbilt's Owen Graduate School of Management.

Morgan Busse – Romantic Excerpt – Part 1 of 1
April 28, 2016 By Shannon Vannatter 18 Comments
Shannon here: One of the things I love about Christian Fiction is that there are so many genres with something for every reader. Ever heard of Victorian Steampunk? Morgan Busse shares an excerpt from her title, Tainted. Comment or answer the question at the end of this post to enter the giveaway for a signed copy. Deadline: May 7th, 11:59 pm central time. Here's Morgan:
Tainted is a Victorian steampunk novel that follows Kat Bloodmayne, a young woman who—when she loses control of her emotions— is able to tap into the physical laws of science and manipulate the matter around her. However, there is a catch: every time she does this, a part of her soul dies and it is changing her into something dark. So she is trying to find a cure for her soul.
After graduating from the Tower Academy, Kat meets a man that night at the World City gala. Stephen Grey is a cold but intriguing man. Later, she finds out he is a bounty hunter and one of the best at finding people. She heads to his office the next day to employ his service in finding the one doctor she thinks can cure her.
Because of Stephen's painful past, and the fact that Kat looks like his past fiancé, he's not sure about taking her case. But he's finally persuaded and they both embark on a journey that reveals there is a dark agenda deep within World City. Along the way, Stephen is confronted with the question can he love again after being hurt, and could he love this strange woman he is helping?
Excerpt from Tainted when Kat and Stephen first meet:
"I already said I'm not interested in finding a woman."
Patrick looked at him. "Just one dance."
Stephen worked his jaw, his gaze roving across the room. Most of the women present were only interested in fashion, titles, and money. He had thought Vanessa was different, but he had been proven wrong.
"There." Patrick pointed across the dance floor. "Ask her. She looks like a nice, sensible kind of girl."
Stephen looked in that direction and froze. It was the woman from the balcony. She stood beside another young woman with carrot-colored hair and a long green gown. A tall gentleman walked toward them and a moment later the carrot-topped woman left for the dance floor.
The young woman rubbed her arm and looked around the room.
Stephen narrowed his eyes. "Who is she?"
"I don't know. But I do know she is one of the ladies from the Tower Academy."
Smart, then. He liked that. It meant she wouldn't be giggly or boring. Hopefully. He finished half of his cup of tea, then turned back toward Patrick. "All right. I'll ask her. But then you need to get off my case."
Patrick's smile came back. "I won't say another word tonight."
Stephen tugged at the hair beneath his chin. "And you're sure you don't know her name? She looks familiar."
"No. But she is beautiful. Who would have thought a woman like her would have ended up at the academy instead of out in society."
Stephen dropped his hand and shrugged. "Times are changing."
Before Patrick could say anything else, Stephen placed his cup down and made his way around the dance floor.
As he approached, she looked up. Her cheeks turned bright pink and she looked away. Oh, that's right. He had been a bit abrupt on the balcony. He straightened his duster. He would just have to apologize. "Excuse me, miss."
She glanced back, her eyes dark, her cheeks still flushed.
"I am sorry about earlier this evening. You caught me off guard." And she was doing it again. She was similar to Vanessa, but younger, with an innocence to her countenance that he now realized Vanessa had never possessed. Stephen worked his dry mouth and gave her a short bow. "Please accept my apology."
She gave him a small nod. "I accept. I'm afraid I was out of sorts myself."
Stephen straightened. "And how are you now?"
"Much better, thank you."
He held out his hand. "Then perhaps you would join me for a dance."
She hesitated, her gloved hand hovering in the air. Then she took his hand with a firm grasp.
Stephen led her to the floor just as the waltz began. Her fingers were small and curled around his hand. He slid his other hand around her waist.
She stiffened and looked at him. Stephen led her along the floor. "Have you never waltzed before?"
She shook her head. "I'm afraid I spent the last two years studying rather than dancing."
"It is a fairly easy dance. I will lead and you follow."
She nodded and bit her lip.
Stephen guided her, moving slowly, placing a small amount of pressure on her waist to turn her.
After a minute, she was moving as if she had always known how to dance.
Stephen found himself relaxing. Patrick was right. It had been a while since he had danced with a woman. It felt … good. "You're a natural."
She laughed—a strong, throaty laugh. "And you are a good teacher."
They made another round before Stephen spoke again. "I feel like I know you from somewhere. What is your name?" Blast it, where were his manners? He should have asked her before they started dancing. Come to think of it, he should have told her his name.
Her smile dropped from her face and she glanced away. "Kathryn. Kathryn Bloodmayne."

About the book – Tainted:
What happens when your soul dies?
Kat Bloodmayne is one of the first women chosen to attend the Tower Academy of Sciences. But she carries a secret: she can twist the natural laws of life. She has no idea where this ability came from, only that every time she loses control and unleashes this power, it kills a part of her soul. If she doesn't find a cure soon, her soul will die and she will become something else entirely.
After a devastating personal loss, Stephen Grey leaves the World City Police Force to become a bounty hunter. He believes in justice and will stop at nothing to ensure criminals are caught and locked up. However, when Kat Bloodmayne shows up in his office seeking his help, his world is turned upside down.
Together they search World City and beyond for a doctor who can cure Kat. But what they discover on the way goes beyond science and into the dark sphere of magic.
Book one of The Soul Chronicles series.

Shelia Hall says
not very good but do like to do the twist
Sandra P says
I can dance (tap and jazz) and really enjoy tap!
I did love Tainted! It was a great read.
M J says
No, I cannot dance. But I loved Stephens comment/advice to Kat " It's a fairly easy dance, I will lead and you follow." A picture of our Savior – Come, follow me. My yoke is easy.
Rebecca Morgan says
Sadly, I cannot dance! But there's nothing sweeter than slow dancing with my hubby because he doesn't care if I step on his feet! 😉 I love the sneak peek of Tainted!
Morgan Busse says
I thought I would chime in 🙂 I secretly love to dance and when we were first married, my husband and I took a swing class. We quickly learned my hubby cannot dance to save his life, but I still grab his hand and swing him around the kitchen when big band music comes on my pandora station!
I can't dance to save my life, but it looks like fun!
Shannon Taylor Vannatter says
I can't dance either. Absolutely no rhythm in any fiber of my being. My son learned for a school dance and was trying to show me. He said, "Mom. You are a TERRIBLE dancer."
Pamela Morrisson says
When i was much younger I loved to dance but I married a man with little sense of rhythm who had no interest in it. So with no partner I gave up dancing except for occasional private moments when no one was watching. Tainted sounds like a book I would enjoy. Please enter me.
Diane Estrella says
I can so NOT dance. My kids laugh at me, I'm so bad.
Congrats on the book release. Definitely a new genre to me!
Jennie Webb says
I can dance, but generally only do so at home. 🙂 I don't know how to dance with someone- like ballroom dancing. I can do a little disco and the running man (woman).
Janice Moore says
I do not really dance much, butr really enjoy doing sign art to music or intrepretative movement to Christian music
Alison Boss says
I do dance, but no specific style and mostly when we go to weddings. I would love to learn swing dancing. My daughter says it's a blast! Tainted sounds very intriguing! Thanks so much for the opportunity to possibly win a copy!
Kristen Joy Wilks says
Well … I took a class in college and learned the cha cha and we had swing dancing at our wedding, but once my husband tried to flip me over his shoulder in a swing dance and I freaked out halfway over and grabbed him around the waist and threw out his back. Then there was the time he spun me into a post in the middle of the room and broke my glasses. So dancing isn't exactly a safe exercise for me, but it is fun if you can survive.
Amanda Geaney says
Some people are born graceful, but I am not one of them. I trip on myself, frequently run into the corner of tables, and I've just recovered from a broken toe. No, I do not dance.
I am very bookish. Tainted would be my second venture into Steampunk. Kat's ability to manipulate matter sounds a little Storm Siren-ish. 🙂

The Artist Librarian says
I'd love to learn to dance ballroom or something someday … =)
Thanks for the chance to win "Tainted" –I adore steampunk fashion and have wanted to read the genre since I first found out about it a couple of years ago … It's always cool to see the Christian fiction market branching out!
tatianneD says
I took two years of ballroom, and we touched on waltz, cha-cha, nightclub two-step, and swing.
Not very good at it, though. Although it is MUCH better when the guy leading knows what he is doing!!!
stvannatter says
I have a winner. Pamela Morrisson won the drawing. I appreciate Morgan for being my guest and everyone else for stopping by.
