The only issue with it is that it is far too heavy for me to unpack and pack on my own. I extimate that it weighs something like 100Kg and even with Richard's help it was very difficult to debag it and put into position. I would say that four strong blokes would be more like it, but I will just have to struggle. We had to put it away without its storage bag as it was just an impossibility on our own.
It inflated very quickly, probably under five minutes to a ready to use state. The hooks inside can be used for the lighting hopefully, but I will have to experiment with that.
That's the advantage of using the "place inline" button - it allows you to choose the order, rather than just getting the random order they upload at.
I'll look out for your spray booth on the news!...."Spray booth....Last seen entering Welsh airspace!"
Latest work undergoing final fettling before delivery back to owner. This car came in with serious accident damage to the rear end and terrible bodywork. Accident damage has been repaired and car completely resprayed. Newly powder coated wheels will be fitted next.
Very nice. I hope the Insurance was paying.
I have just topped up my stock and the filters came with a BIG surprise! The cost has now doubled. I am on maximum discount with them so sadly my retail price has had to go up. The new price is £15.99 each, but I have organised a coupon code for paid up members registered with my webshop to get them at cost, which is £11.99. Carriage extra of course.
You might want to change your supplier..... I paid £7.52 for an EFL90 filter from a Ford dealer yesterday. That price included post and packaging. I ordered it at 3pm, it arrived 9.30 this morning.
I did wonder what would turn up, but it is genuine Ford. I got the link from one of Nigel Clark's posts, so thanks are due to him.
It is likely old stock. You can imagine that I tried every avenue before reluctantly accepting the new price! I buy direct from Ford, so no middle man margin.
£11.99 is my price, if you support the forum.
Hi, I've emailed you regarding Spax shock absorbers and rear springs. Still waiting for a reply.

Дипломатическая миссия Франции в Остине — историческое здание дипломатической миссии в восточном Остине, штат Техас, построенное в 1841 году для представления французского правительства в новой Республике Техас.
Это одно из старейших сохранившихся каркасных сооружений в Остине. Здание и его окрестности были внесены в Национальный реестр исторических мест в 1969 году. Французское представительство также является Зарегистрированной исторической достопримечательностью Техаса, исторической достопримечательностью города Остин и Памятником древностей штата Техас.
Начиная с 1940-х годов, историческим объектом и его зданиями управляло общество «Дочери республики Техас», нанятое штатом Техас, который владеет объектом. В 2017 году здание было передано Техасской исторической комиссии.
История
Посольство
После того, как Техас провозгласил независимость от Мексики в 1836 году, Франция была одной из двух стран (другая — Соединённые Штаты), официально признавших Техас независимым государством. Договор о дружбе, мореплавании и торговле между двумя странами официально закрепил это признание. 25 сентября Париж направил , секретаря Французского представительства в Вашингтоне, в качестве нового временного поверенного в делах в Республике Техас, представляющего короля Франции Луи Филиппа.
Строительство представительства примерно в полумиле (0,8 км) к востоку от центра города было завершено в 1841 году. Дюбуа устраивал званые обеды из нескольких блюд в домике, который он арендовал в центре города, пока строился его особняк, и работал с законодателями, чтобы привезти французских поселенцев в Техас. Однако пребывание графа де Салиньи в Остине не обошлось без конфликтов. Дюбуа и хозяин гостиницы Ричард Буллок были врагами. Его конфликт с остинцами даже перерос в драку во время так называемой войны свиней 1841 года, когда его дворецкий убил нескольких натворивших беспорядок свиней, принадлежащих Буллоку, и, в свою очередь, подвергся нападению Буллока.
После того, как столица молодой нации была временно перенесена в Вашингтон-на-Бразосе в 1842 году во время войны за архив Техаса дом Дюбуа был заброшен. Французское правительство отозвало графа де Салиньи в 1846 году, когда Техас был аннексирован Соединёнными Штатами.
Особняк позже был занят Джоном Мэри Одином, первым епископом Римско-католической епархии Галвестона, а затем Мозли Бейкером, ветераном Техасской революции. В 1847 году доктор Джозеф У. Робертсон купил поместье у Бейкера, и поколения его семьи проживали там до 1940 года.
Во время своего пребывания в Остине Дюбуа держал по меньшей мере трёх рабов. Семья Робертсонов владела по меньшей мере девятью рабами в своей собственности, используя их для снабжения продовольствием и выполнения домашних обязанностей.
Музей
Техас приобрел этот участок у наследников Робертсона в 1945 году. Штат передал имущество на хранение Дочерям Республики Техас (ДРТ), которые в 1949 году основали Музей Французского представительства. ДРТ восстановили здание представительства и территорию таким же образом, как и другие дома-музеи в середине XX века. Коллекция включала несколько оригинальных предметов, а внутренняя отделка, выбранная во время реставрации, противоречила более позднему анализу красок. Сайт открылся для публики 5 апреля 1956 года.
Вид на Капитолий штата Техас с крыльца посольства Франции является одним из и местного законодательства защиты вида от помех от высотных зданий с 1983 года. С середины 1990-х годов штат нанял профессиональных сотрудников, задача которых состоит в вовлечении окружающих сообществ восточного Остина в программы исторического музея.

It shall be the responsibility of the chief executive to manage and oversee the application of this chapter and the administration of the responsibilities and activities prescribed.
No user shall be authorized any utility service without having first established a utility account with the City. It shall be further unlawful for users to receive or take utility service in the absence of the required utility account.
The City shall not open any utility account nor shall the director of public works initiate any utility services unless authorized to do so by the user in person or through written notification.
Users receiving utility services shall be billed by the City treasurer in accordance with the rate schedule established by the annual budget resolution. All fees or charges provided under this chapter shall be due on the date of billing.
Any billing for utility services remaining unpaid after the last working day of each month from the date of the billing shall be considered delinquent and subject to a penalty for late payment. The late payment penalty shall be computed on the rate specified in the annual budget resolution.
All unpaid delinquent utility service charges shall constitute a lien against the service unit to which utility services are delivered. The City treasurer is authorized to collect payment of outstanding liens through civil action against the owner or by foreclosure of the lien and sale of the premises. Any action taken in collection of a lien shall be by the City attorney in a court of competent jurisdiction after approval by the City council.
The City is authorized to bill utility accounts on a monthly cycle based on monthly readings or on quarterly readings as furnished by the director of public works.
All utility charges, fees and billings shall be assessed against the owner of the service unit any other agreement between the owner and occupants notwithstanding.
Utility services shall not be provided by the City to any user unless the appropriate tap fees and other charges for access to City utility service lines have been paid in full in the amount specified in the annual budget resolution. Tap fees shall not be transferable from one utility account to another.
All utility services shall be metered and each utility service unit shall have individual meters, taps, service lines, valving and related components. When a multi-unit utility service unit is supplied by a single tap or connection each subunit shall have a separate meter, valving and related components as prescribed by the City engineer.
Utility services and connections made solely for the purpose of fire protection shall not be assessed a tap fee. The governing body may, in its sole discretion, waive tap fees for a limited period of time for a class of users to promote a governmental purpose by the enactment of a resolution describing the governmental purpose and setting forth the period of time in which the tap fee would be waived for the designated class of users.
Any user wishing to voluntarily discontinue delivery of a utility service permanently or temporarily shall notify the City treasurer in writing or in person at least five days in advance of the date of requested discontinuance. Upon receipt of a request for discontinuance, the City shall terminate service.
Applications for tap connections shall be made to the City upon forms specified by the City at least forty-eight hours in advance. The application for authorization to tap or connect to a utility service shall contain the legal description, working plans and expected cost of the connection, the length, size and other dimensions of the project together with other information required by the City engineer. The application shall contain a statement holding the City harmless against any liability resulting from the installation of the taps or connections and waiving all claims for damages against the City. All fees and charges must accompany the application.
It shall be unlawful for any user or person without prior approval or supervision by the City engineer to excavate, tap, connect, repair, install or otherwise obstruct or disturb any utility service lines.
In the event a user does not tap into or connect with a utility service line within a six-month period after the payment or acquisition of a tap fee and upon written application for a refund, the director of public works may authorize a refund not to exceed seventy-five percent of the fee paid.
Any user who fails, refuses or neglects to pay delinquent utility charges, fees or penalties within sixty days of the due date shall have the utility service terminated by the director of public works upon notification from the City treasurer that the utility account is delinquent. The delinquency shall be subject to collection by the City in an action brought by the City attorney in a court of competent jurisdiction.
The director of public works, upon notification that a utility account is delinquent, shall terminate service to the service unit within twenty-four hours of such notification.
If situations where two or more users are supplied from the same service, a delinquency of payment by any single user shall lead to a termination of service for all.
When an account becomes delinquent and subject to termination for nonpayment or other causes, the City treasurer shall notify the user by first-class mail at said user's last known address, of the City's intent to terminate utility service at least ten days prior to the date of such termination.
The City will continue to provide utility services after the date for termination if, during the ten-day period specified in Section 23-15, the user makes payment of the delinquent charges in accordance with the policy set by the governing body in its annual budget resolution.
A user with a delinquent utility account at one certain unit shall not be allowed to open another utility account unless the delinquency of another account is first satisfied by payment in full.
Any other reasons prescribed by this chapter.
It shall be unlawful for any user or unauthorized person to turn on a utility service when the service has been terminated.
Prior to initiation of restoration of any utility service terminated for delinquency or terminated at the request of the user, the user shall be subject to and shall have paid the restoration or service fees and required deposit in the amount specified in the annual budget resolution.
When a utility service is terminated by the City for reasons stemming from nonpayment or delinquencies, the fees established by the annual budget resolution for restoring service as well as all delinquent charges shall be assessed to and paid in full by the respective user prior to restoration of service by the City.
For purposes of this chapter, each service unit shall be defined as being in the status of "on" or "off". If the curb box valving is set so that utility services are not being delivered, the service shall be considered in an "off" status and no fees or charges shall be assessed to the service unit of user, except for penalty charges for late payments. If the curb box valving is set so that utility services are being delivered, the service shall be considered in an "on" status and a rate based upon usage or upon flat fee together with the basic capital replacement fee shall be assessed to the service unit. It shall be the responsibility of the director of public works to advise the City treasurer as to the "on" or "off" status of each service unit. If any service is in an "on" position any portion of a month, it will be considered on for the entire month for purposes of billing the capital replacement fee.
Each single-family residential, commercial and industrial service unit shall be assessed a fixed capital replacement fee under the conditions set forth in Section 23-20 and at such a rate as specified in the annual budget resolution of the City. Multifamily residential dwellings, hotels, motels, and mobile homes (including mobile home parks and courts) service units shall be assessed a fixed capital replacement fee as specified in the annual budget resolution of the City.
Users receiving utility services which are unmetered shall be billed by the City treasurer on a flat-rate basis as specified by the annual budget resolution in the same manner as all other users.
Upon application by a user with an account registering twelve months in good standing the City treasurer may refund the account security deposit without interest, or may apply the deposit towards the current utility charges. A user with a record of twelve months of good standing account shall not be required to make an account deposit.
Deposits shall be returned to the last known address of the user, after deduction of any outstanding payments due the City, within forty-five days after the utility account is closed. Any deposit not claimed by the user within one year after the utility account is closed shall become the property of the City.
In all other cases the user shall be billed an amount based upon an estimate computed from average consumption for a like service unit.
In the event a user discovers or has evidence of a prospective error or has questions related to the fees or charges assessed to a utility account, it shall be the responsibility of the user to advise the City as soon as possible.
In those instances where the error or adjustment is not greater than five hundred dollars, the City treasurer is authorized to make adjustments or corrections to any utility account rendered in error or which is otherwise incorrect, or the City treasurer may refer the matter to the public service board for resolution.
Adjustments in an amount greater than five hundred dollars but not more than one thousand five hundred dollars may be authorized by the chief executive, or the chief executive may refer the matter to the public service board for resolution.
Adjustments in an amount greater than one thousand five hundred dollars may be granted by the public service board. No adjustment by the chief executive or public service board shall be made unless the user has provided fifteen days' advance notice of error to the City treasurer or advised the director of public works by proper notice of malfunctioning service.
Upon request, the governing body of the City shall have the authority to review, confirm, reverse or modify any decision of the public service board.
Upon receipt of notice of intended foreclosure of a utility service unit and a delinquency exists, the City treasurer shall advise the director of public works to terminate service immediately and make such arrangements with the City attorney to collect any delinquent or past due amounts.
Any user sixty-five years of age or greater who owns or dwells in a residential service unit and makes payment of utility account charges and fees is entitled to a monthly credit of twenty-five percent of the gross monthly utility service charge.
Each user shall first make application in person for credit on forms prescribed by the City treasurer no later than June 30th of each year. In making application the user shall present proof of age and attest that the credit is applicable only to the user's principal place of residence.
The credit shall not be granted to any user for commercial or business purposes and only one credit for each eligible user shall be allowed.
As a condition to a closing settlement with respect to the sale or exchange of real property by the user receiving utility services, the closing agent shall inquire of the City treasurer if any outstanding balances or delinquencies exist with regard to the utility account and accordingly provide for payment of the due amounts as part of the closing settlement.
Where service is a multi-unit residential or a multi-unit commercial service unit, each service subunit shall be represented by a meter and on/off valving and each subunit shall be considered for billing purposes as a separate utility account, whether billed collectively or to each subunit separately and shall be billed at the subunit rate in the amount specified by the annual budget resolution.
No person other than an authorized City employee, agent or contractor operating with the approval of the City engineer or under the supervision of the director of public works shall make any connection or terminate service to any service unit.
In cases where service is to be temporarily interrupted to allow for repairs, replacement, testing, cleaning or adjustment, users served shall be given at least a two-day advance notification. If the service interruption stems from an emergency or unanticipated disruption, users shall be given as much advance notice as possible by the director of public works.
All tap connections shall be made by or performed under the supervision of and inspected by the director of public works.
The City shall not provide utility services or allow any service connections unless the meter, curb boxes, connections, lines, valving and all components conform to the Uniform Plumbing Code or standards established by the City engineer. Meter, curb boxes, valving, connections and other accessors shall be accessible to and located as specified by the City engineer and shall remain the property of the City.
All materials utilized in the construction, maintenance and repair of utility service lines shall meet the specifications established by the City engineer and they shall be constructed as required by the Uniform Plumbing Code.

The City engineer shall specify those connections to the utility service which will be required to install an approved backflow or back siphonage prevention device.

Upon completion of construction or repair of any utility service lines requiring excavation, the excavation shall be backfilled and compacted as specified by the City engineer.
It shall be the responsibility of the user to notify the director of public works of any damage or malfunctioning of a meter, valving or other components supporting utility services to a service unit.
Unless a meter valving or other components are found to be malfunctioning, they shall be presumed correct and the quantity recorded conclusive and binding upon the user and the City.
Upon receipt of an inquiry-or complaint that a meter or other component of the utility service system is malfunctioning or the quantities recorded are incorrect, the director of public works shall take immediate steps to verify that a problem exists and determine if the responsibility rests with the City for repair or with the user. In the event the user is responsible, the director of public works shall advise the user of the needed repairs and the time limits in which they shall be made. When a calibration of the meter is deemed correct by the director of public works the user shall be assessed a service charge in the amount established by the annual budget resolution.
All users of utility services are prohibited from supplying utility services to others or allowing any other person to take water from the user without the prior authorization of the director of public works.

When entering any utility service premises, the employee of the City shall present his or her official City identification card when requested by the occupant.
The users of utility services shall be responsible for the maintenance, repairs of service connections and devices from the curb box to the utility unit.

Users shall keep all utility service components in good repair and proper working order. Users shall likewise protect the utility service from obstructions, frost and freezing and other damage.

Over the winter and spring of 2016, I began working with Emily Dickinson's poetry and images (from sketching in her bedroom in the fall of 2015), creating small drawings & watercolors and using photographs in an iPad painting application. I have been reading critics on her work as well as her poems, and the writers Susan Howe and Helen Vendler have been great inspirations. The resulting series of prints will be shown at the Emily Dickinson Museum on September 1, 2016, as part of the Amherst Art Walk.

Benjamin Zander conducted the Boston Philharmonic in Mahler's Symphony No. 7 Thursday night.
Gustav, we hardly knew ye.
Mahler relentlessly cheerful? It hardly seems possible, yet that is the situation for most (some would say all) of the composer's Symphony No. 7, with its mellow rustic tableaux and finale that bangs away at C major for a good quarter of an hour. It is as if the famously bipolar composer had left one of his poles in a taxi somewhere.
That seemingly "unmahlerlich" attitude, along with a certain heterogeneity of style and character among the symphony's five movements, has made the Seventh a puzzle for analysts and conductors alike. What's it all about, Alfie—or in this case, Benjamin?
While offering few answers to that question, the performance in Harvard's Sanders Theatre on Thursday night by Benjamin Zander and the Boston Philharmonic was nevertheless distinguished for its rhythmic drive, solid ensemble, expressive phrasing, and superb rendering of Mahler's inimitable sonic effects.
The symphony began with one of those effects, a soft shudder of strings under a crisp call in dotted rhythm by the tenor horn. One expected a dire opening summons in the manner of the Fifth or the Sixth Symphonies, but Mahler's heart didn't quite seem to be in it.
Later, even as high clarinet and flute combined to hiss their acidic phrases, and then the strings rose to a climactic shriek, one couldn't shake the feeling that the composer had done all this before, and with more conviction.
This sensation of Mahler-on-Prozac can't be laid entirely or even mostly at the door of Zander and his excellent pro-am orchestra, which played with insight and, as Mahler directs at one point in the score, "mit großem Schwung" (with great verve).
Every section of the orchestra had moments of distinction. The string tone, while not exactly lush, covered the full color range from the aforementioned shriek to a cashmere-scarf caress, and the string sections played with seemingly perfect unity in both the bold phrases and the rapid passages.
Mahler works the brass hard, especially the horns and trombones, and the Philharmonic players kept it together all evening, with only a few fielding errors in thousands of chances. If there was less "brass impact" than one hears in some other Mahler performances, that too was more attributable to the score than the playing.
The symphony's many solos were played with uniformly high quality. Principal horn Kevin Owen topped them all with a series of vivid solos ranging from exuberant whoops to comical staccato to shapely, golden-toned melodies.
Presiding over all this, Zander achieved an orchestral sound that was transparent in its details yet well-knit in a common purpose.
Mahler himself is not much help in making that purpose clear. The puzzle deepens in the middle movements, three nocturnal character pieces that were composed a year before the outer movements and seem to come from another expressive world. The central scherzo is marked Schattenhaft (shadowy), which also could describe the other two, a furtive march and a dainty, tiptoeing Andante amoroso. Zander let each piece be itself, moving it along and paying attention to every expressive quirk and atmospheric sound along the way.
Yet during the Andante one couldn't help feeling that this performance, despite its wealth of beautiful and intriguing detail, didn't feel like it was going in any particular direction. Zander hadn't solved the puzzle of the Seventh, and the pews in the Sanders Theatre were starting to feel a bit hard.
Rescue arrived with the symphony's wild finale, in which, for exuberance and sheer length, Mahler seemed to be trying to out-Beethoven Beethoven's Fifth, while also evoking the warm, celebratory mood of Die Meistersinger.
In this kind of music, Zander's now-this, now-that approach worked just fine. He pressed his well-drilled band ahead, rarely letting up, never lingering, leaving little time for a listener to sit there in dour music-critic mode, thinking "This is awfully long" or "What is the point?" Instead, one was prompted to just lean back and appreciate each of Mahler's thoughts and afterthoughts as it came, wondering what crazy new chord or special effect the master—and the maestro—would come up with next.
And really, if you've got that, it's all right if Mahler's Seventh remains a puzzle for a while longer.

In today's world of fragmented media and divided attention, the best way to get attention is to be interesting. What the current Presidential campaign has shown us is that simply being worthy of conversation will often beat being right or responsible.
Be distinctive: In a crowded marketplace, distinctiveness is essential to attracting a loyal following. This is true for political candidates and brands. Trump is a unique character that effectively makes all the other candidates look the same. His ubiquitous media exposure has led a large proportion of voters to think about whether they would vote for him. For many republicans, the first question they ask is whether they will vote for trump. If the answer is no, only then will they consider the other candidates.
Let familiarity breed likability: Research shows that repeated exposure to a person (or brand) increases the likelihood of attraction, likability, or favorability. While we like to think otherwise, people really know very little about the brands and candidates that they choose. In reality, we choose from the very small subset of options that are most familiar with. When it comes to presidential politics or brand building, ubiquity provides an enormous advantage.
While being interesting, distinctive, and familiar has provided a big advantage to Trump during this election cycle, there are many examples of strong political and brand narratives rapidly changing. In the same way that new information can change the way we think about Volkswagen or Enron, political candidates rise and fall quickly with the narrative that surrounds them. In particular, the risk of being controversial is that the narrative turns against you as a candidate or brand. Being interesting is a double edged sword that can drive either growth or deterioration. But for those that are good at tapping into ideas and controversies that people want to endlessly discuss, the opportunities are enormous.
Have you ever rolled your eyes at an industry-standard public relations report? Time after time, these reports show that a routine story on Yahoo or AOL or Forbes.com reached tens of millions of people when everyone knows it didn't. If the story reached 60 million people, why was it only shared 8 times on Linkedin or Facebook?
As a Chief Marketing Officer in 2013, you are expected to measure everything. Whether it's leads, pipeline, revenue, ROI, brand preference, awareness, or likes, if it can be quantified and tracked, it should be measured. But in most organizations, PR has been a frustrating exception.
(1) They don't take into consideration the content of the article: Was your company in the headline or just a brief mention at the end? Did they include a picture and a quote from a customer or just a mention of your name? Were your key messages pulled through? How many of your competitors were also mentioned?
(2) They don't measure how many people read the article: Let's say you receive a report from your PR firm that shows the impact of two articles that mentioned your company: one in the New York Times and the other on Yahoo news. The typical PR report will show that the New York Times story drove a couple of million "impressions." The inclusion of the story on Yahoo News will likely show 60 million "impressions" based on the potential reach of Yahoo. The problem is that the real reach for both of these stories is much smaller than stated. In the case of the Yahoo story, the impressions are likely overstated by a factor of 10,000. That's akin to saying that your company had a billion dollars in revenue when your true revenue was just $100,000. It's a big mistake. Unfortunately, all of the industry standard metrics — reach, share of voice — are built on these faulty assumptions.
(3) They don't measure how engaging the article was to your target audience: Some articles are so insightful and intellectually powerful that they create a new world narrative. Malcolm Gladwell's original 1996 "The Tipping Point" article in the New Yorker is a perfect example. Most articles, however, are ignored and quickly forgotten. Most every PR report treats both types of articles the same.
Over the last few months, I've developed and implemented a new way to track the value of an online PR mention by measuring quality and impact. The quality score is derived by answering three simple questions about the article. The Impact score is the total number of social shares on Twitter, Facebook, Linkedin, and Google+.
If you and a competitor were both mentioned in the first 5 paragraphs and the tone was neutral than you would score 4% for quality (25% x 20% x 80% = 4%). The result is an impartial, standardized view of power of the article to boost your product, company, or brand.
For this New York Times article, the total # of social shares is 6,127.
Simply multiply your quality percentage by the impact score. So, if your quality score was 100% then the PR Sway Score would be 6,127. If it was 4% than the score would be 245.
As you can see from these examples, PR Sway Score provides a very simple way to score digital article on any product or company. If you're looking at a report with hundreds or thousands of articles, it makes it easy to find the ones that are helping or hurting the most.
If you want to track PR like you track other business objectives, PR Sway lets you measure campaign effectiveness, set goals, and track performance over time. It helps you to better understand which media moves people to action. It makes it easy to calculate similar metrics for your competition and build a meaningful view of share of voice. Once you value a social share for your business, you can use the PR Sway Score to calculate PR ROI.
PR Sway, lIke any scoring methodology, is imperfect. The biggest gap is that it is only applicable to online content. Your article may have had a huge impact in print or you may have reached millions in a TV interview. While some readers or viewers may go online to find and share the article, your reach will inevitably be underrepresented. In my reporting, I add a multiplier to account for cross-media benefits but that too is imperfect.
That said, the reason that PR Sway Score works for me is that it models exactly what I am looking for: it tells me how many people were moved to take action by a story on my product or company and the proportion of the action that is likely to benefit our company. It lets the public vote on the value of the story and it provides a simple, standard way to look at large numbers of stories and identify what matters and what is simply noise.

The KeView framework is a module consisting of proven HMI components that have been tested many times over in industrial environments. With the intuitive HMI designer in KeStudio, the ready-made elements are simply arranged into finished visualization masks using drag & drop without needing to program a single line of code.
Depending on the needs, integrated multi-touch gestures are available in addition to high-performance widgets. Adaptation of the visualization to the corporate identity is performed centrally with a CSS-based style editor. For custom extensions, software modules can be flexibly implemented in Java.
The operating devices are perfectly equipped for any use with the three options: Embedded, Trend and Style. Embedded contains only one operating system and also forms the basis for the Trend and Style versions.
The level Trend also contains a standard visualization software and the Style variant offers modern multitouch visualization.
Starting from level KeView Trend, a HMI software program for efficient use and fast visualization creation with the help of a powerful function library - even without programming knowledge - is available with KeView.
Thanks to freely definable widgets and excellent interaction with KEBA operating devices, a short time-to-market is ensured. Freely programmable JAVA extensions open the door to nearly unlimited applications.
KeView Style is based on the latest Java 8 with JavaFX. Innovative application concepts can be easily implemented using the graphic designer in KeStudio. With the integrated multitouch gestures and the diverse graphical possibilities, it is very easy to create modern HMI applications. A machine can thereby be operated as intuitively as a smartphone.
With the RealTime Widgets developed by KEBA, a machine can be directly operated in real-time. By means of this innovation, hardware variants can be reduced and the HMI can be used to create a true user experience.
With the modern HMI designer in KeStudio, visualizations are created easily and intuitively; no programming knowledge is necessary. Use drag & drop to arrange ready-made modules into an application. While you work, you always see what your finished application will look like. For the alignment and the visual design of the elements, intelligent functions are available, such as a central styling editor based on CSS.
Jointly used widgets can be grouped together into so-called composite widgets, saved as separate modules in the library and reused at any time. Customer-specific extensions through simple integration of the customer's own design elements are possible, as is free programming.

Chronic Fatigue and chronic lack of money. What's a woman to do?
I am loving my new best friend, a book by Suze Orman called Women & Money Owning The Power To Control Your Destiny. It is giving me hope and clear cut direction to weed out one of my major fatigue triggers, debt. Yep, that little four letter word has become a major chronic fatigue cause and conversation piece for many of us. You too?
Chronic Fatigue starts somewhere, everything does. Based on my own experience, if I had to pick just one root cause it would be adrenal fatigue gone wild. And … what triggers adrenal fatigue? Exhausting, no-win lifestyle choices. Skipping meals, staying in unhealthy relationships, postponing dr. and dentist appointments, constantly overspending … what we do, or don't, adds up to tears us down.
Changing bad habits is easy to talk about. We all know that. The devil is in the follow through.
Junk Mail Fatigue. Mail me something personal, something fun – please!
* calling or writing to my congresspersons or political party.
* eating or drinking something I don't want at some place I don't want to go.

Did you know that more than 80% of us have cellulite?
So how do you reduce cellulite once it's staring back at you in the mirror? And if you've not seen any orange peel dimples on your thighs so far, how can you go about keeping them at bay?
If you're wondering how to get rid of cellulite, we're here to tell you that it's not impossible, and thankfully, it's not even about expensive lotions and potions.
There are a few simple ways you can get reduce it, and what's more – you can kick them off today!
Around 80-90% of us have cellulite, so if you have it, you're not by any means alone. It's caused by a collection of fat that pushes into the skin's upper layer, which is what gives that dimpled, orange peel look.
Cellulite doesn't discriminate, and can appear regardless of shape or body type, so you might find it on your thighs, bums, upper arms or tummy, whether you're a size 8 or a size 18. It is also genetic, so if your mum suffers with the stuff then you might find you're more likely to get it too.
But whilst you might not be able to avoid getting it in the first place, there are several things you can try to reduce it and improve the appearance of your skin long-term.
These exercises will also help you lose weight easily – at the same time! We are sold.
Follow these 10 simple steps and you'll see a reduction in that orange peel skin in no time – ready to get started?
What's your top tip for getting rid of cellulite? Leave us a Facebook comment and share your favourite tricks!
Although introducing body brushing into your everyday routine might seem like a lot of effort when just finding the time to moisturise is hard enough, the benefits really do speak for themselves. And once you get used to finding an extra five minutes to use your body brush, it will become part and parcel of your day without a second thought.
Make sure you scrub before you get into the shower, always in circular motions, always starting at the ankles and working up towards your heart.
The action is thought to improve blood circulation and lymphatic drainage, so trying this for a few weeks will not only banish dry skin, but you'll notice a real impact on those dimples too.
Follow up with a body oil to nourish your skin and you'll be feeling like you've had a proper pamper at the same time.
You can pick up a natural bristle body brush from as little as £6.84 on sites like Amazon, so place an order and get brushing!
When it comes to the best exercises for getting rid of cellulite, cardio is key. That's because the harder you work and the higher you get your heart rate, the more fat you'll burn.
Take it easy to begin with, and work your way up. Running is the most obvious choice for interval exercise, but swimming and cycling are also great exercises to try if you want to combat cellulite.
To keep cellulite at bay, you need to be drinking your recommended daily allowance of water.
The cellulite under your skin stores toxins - which can accumulate if you have an unhealthy lifestyle, regardless of your shape or size. Water keeps the skin hydrated and flushes out toxins, and is key if you want to keep your skin looking fresh and youthful, too!
However, don't drink too much water as this could lead to swelling underneath the cellulite - 1.5 litres a day is plenty.
If you find plain water boring, flavour it naturally with slices of citrus fruit or berries.
If you eat a lot of refined, processed or fatty foods, these could all contribute to poor circulation and therefore won't encourage the body's natural digestive processes to flush out toxins, therefore triggering the onset of cellulite.
A diet high in antioxidants - vitamins A, C and E, plus selenium, manganese, zinc and copper - can help to prevent the cell damage that leads to the dreaded dimples.
By eating these foods daily, you'll restore the strength of dermal cells - and the good news is, they're all pretty tasty. Eggs, apples, soy, spinach, cauliflower, peanuts and Iceberg lettuce are all lecithin rich foods, so they're great for getting rid of cellulite. Time to stock the kitchen!
Protein stimulates and strengthens the production of collagen and elastin which keeps cellulite at bay. It also helps to firm up muscles that can keep fat stores in place, and reduces the dimpled effect of cellulite. All in all, protein is a winner when it comes to combatting the orange peel skin!
Add more lean meats, turkey, nuts, skimmed milk and pulses to your diet to get the best chance of improvement.
There are many to choose from out there and it can feel a bit overwhelming at times.
Our favourite budget cream is Nivea Q10 Plus Firming Cellulite Serum, £11,49 from Boots, a mid-range cream is Weleda Birch Cellulite Oil (around £14.95 from Amazon) and great a high-end cream is Clarins High Definition Body Lift (£37). Use a scrub every time you shower to increase circulation on thighs and buttocks too.
It's also worth noting that creams will only really help the appearance slightly as part of a diet and exercise regime - they can help superficially in the looks department, but they're not miracle workers, and even the most expensive creams can't melt the fat away.
One trick to getting rid of pesky lumps and bumps is working all your lower body muscles from every angle, which lessens the underlying fat stores and replaces lost muscle tissue to give the area a toned appearance, and climbing stairs is a great way to do this.
Omega-3 fatty acids, which you can find in oily fish such as salmon, tuna, mackerel and sardines (as well as vegetable oils, seeds and nuts) are known to lower cholesterol. This has a knock on effect, because by lowering your cholesterol you'll be boosting your circulation, which has an anti-inflammatory effect.
The fats in oily fish help reduce swelling that could make skin cell damage worse. Try to eat oily fish once a week to beat those pesky cellulite problems!
Full fat dairy products like cream, butter and cheese are high in saturated fats and are harder for your body to break down. They're fine as a once in a while treat, but avoid consuming them too regularly if you can.
Eating fatty takeaways and processed foods can also cause cellulite because they lead to fat deposits in our bodies. So why not switch shop-bought sweets for homemade lower-fat cakes and try making your favourite takeaway at home to reduce the saturated fat?
Cellulite is caused by a build up of toxins, so fruit and veg high in antioxidants are the best way to beat lumpy skin from the inside out!
Some fruit and veg is better than others, brightly coloured ones being the best. Try celery, oranges, grapefruit, peaches and plums, they're low in natural sugar and high in fibre. Foods high in vitamin C are also great cellulite-busters because they boost levels of collagen in the skin, promoting elasticity and keeping things firm and taut.

A member of our congregation found this helpful and wanted to share it with others. Maybe you too will find it helpful. Meanwhile let us encourage one another to persevere in prayer!
Most of us need to lift our prayer life from the tyranny of our moods. Let me give you an illustration from a page of my own diary.
When I entered the ministry in 1928, I determined that I would be the most 'Methodist' Baptist in the history of the world. Talk about perfectionism! Talk about making plans for the day! They must have been a marvel to both angels and demons.
Oh, I would start... you know. I'd rise at 5:30 a.m. Fifteen minutes to wash and dress. Then an hour and a half of prayer and Bible reading, and half an hour for breakfast. Then thirty minutes of a constitutional walk up to the woods to breathe deep and, when nobody was looking, run now and then. That's a constitutional. I had everything all planned out. It was wonderful.
Now I won't take time telling you all the subtle attacks which Satan used to trip me up and trick me out of keeping my plans. But I found that with increasing administrative duties and responsibilities in the pastorate that my plans went haywire. My time for prayer was getting crowded out, and my periods of study with the Bible were getting scarcer.
That was bad enough. But it was worse when I began to get used to it. And then I began excusing myself. My prayer life became a case of sinning and repenting. Every time I got down to pray, I had to start weeping and asking the Lord's forgiveness. I had to repent that I hadn't prayed more, and ask Him to help me to do better in the future. All such things really take the pleasure out of praying.
So, as we say in Scotland, I slithered. I vacillated. Shall it be prayer? Shall it be letters? Prayer? Letters? Yes, no, yes, no. And while I was slithering, a velvety little voice began to speak in my inner consciousness!
I don't want to use extravagant phrases, but if you had plunged a dagger into my bosom, it couldn't have hurt me more.
I'm not the introspective type, but that morning I took a good look into Sidlow Baxter. And I found that there was an area of me that did not want to pray. I had to admit it. I didn't want to pray. But I looked more closely, and I found that there was a part of me that needed to die. The part that didn't was the intellect and will, and the part that did was the emotions.
So Will and I, we dragged of those wretched emotions and we went to pray, and stayed an hour in prayer.
If you had asked me afterwards, "Did you have a good time?" do you think I could have said yes? A good time? No. It was a fight all the way! What I would have done without the companionship of Will, I don't know.
I certainly couldn't have said we had a good time. It was exhausting, but we did it.
So Will and I went in again.
That morning we didn't have any hilarious experience or wonderful visions with heavenly voices and raptures. But Will and I were able with less distraction to get on with praying. And that went on for another two or three weeks. In fact, Will and I had begun to forget the emotions.
For the first time the whole territory of James Sidlow Baxter was happily coordinated in the exercise of prayer, and God suddenly became real and heaven was wide open and Christ was there and the Holy Spirit was moving and I knew that all the time God had been listening.
The point is this: the validity and the effectuality of prayer are not determined or even affected by the subjective psychological condition of the one who prays. The thing that makes prayer valid and vital and moving and operative is my faith that takes hold of God's truth!

John Paul II Speeches 1981 November
[ EN - ES - PT ]
ADDRESS OF JOHN PAUL II
TO H.E. Mr SEYED HADI KHOSROCHAIAN
AMBASSADOR OF IRAN TO THE HOLY SEE*
Mr Ambassador,
Although you have already duly inaugurated your diplomatic mission at the Holy See, I am pleased today to be able to accept personally the Letters accrediting you as Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
The significance of this ceremony is linked with the Iranian people as a whole. It is oriented to their well-being; is embraces their history, their culture and their destiny. Your presence here is meant to be a sign of hope for all your fellow-citizens; it is they who will be the first beneficiaries of efforts made to promote true peace and human dignity. Among your countrymen there are the members of the Catholic community, who belong by full right to the nation; they desire to work for its true good and its advancement, and they seek solely to enjoy, together with all their Iranian brothers and sisters, full freedom of religion and action. I express my deep fraternal interest in their welfare, as in the well-being of all the people of your country.
You have evoked the sufferings of war and the violence of terrorism. War and terrorism are evils that my predecessors and I have constantly denounced. But no less intensely have we sought to proclaim and inculcate that essential justice and that fraternal love which foster upright conduct between members of the same human family. The longing of the Holy See is for mutual understanding and reconciliation; it works for the destruction of war in itself and its causes, and for the abolition of hatred.
As you are in a position to know so well, the Holy See upholds national sovereignty and integrity, just as it firmly believes in international justice and universal non-violent freedom. It adamantly espouses the unity of the human family, the importance of friendly cooperation between nations and a deep and abiding respect for human life – the life of every man, woman and child on this earth.
Through its own diplomatic activity – which is inspired by those religious principles which in turn furnish a secure basis for other sacred values, including justice and peace – the Holy See is determined to pursue these aims and to support all worthy initiatives that strengthen, foster and honour human life.
It is in this spirit that I welcome Your Excellency and receive the message of His Eminence Imam Khomeini, of which you are the authoritative bearer. I reciprocate this message with a prayerful greeting of peace to him and to the President of Iran. Upon the whole country I invoke the blessings of the Almighty and Merciful God.
And to you, Mr Ambassador, I offer the assurance of assistance in your mission, praying that it will be an effective contribution to furthering the cause of human dignity and world peace.

Kosovo, Bosnia, Most Worried by Corruption, Report Shows
New research by the watchdog organisation Transparency International shows that perceptions of corruption as a major problem in society vary widely in the Balkans.

People in Balkan countries see corruption as one of the key problems in society, often view politicians as corrupt as well, and in many cases do not believe their governments are tackling the issue, a new survey by the watchdog organisation Transparency International shows.
Among countries surveyed in the Balkans, 65 per cent of people questioned in Kosovo listed corruption as one of three big problems governments should address, just behind Moldova and Spain, where the same was felt by 67 and 66 per cent of respondents respectively.
In Bosnia, 55 per cent of questioned people saw corruption as one of the key problems governments should address. In Croatia, the figure was 51 per cent and in Romania, 49 per cent. Only 24 per cent of people questioned in Greece saw corruption as one of the key problems.
The report, entitled "People and Corruption: Europe and Central Asia", conducted on the basis of the poll, which involved 60,000 citizens in 42 countries responding to 14 questions, aims to show peoples' perceptions of corruption in everyday life, their contact with it and their thoughts on how governments should deal with the issue.
According to the report, 82 per cent of those questioned in Bosnia think their government handles the fight against corruption "very badly" or "fairly badly", while 69 per cent of people in Kosovo think the same of their government, followed by Greece with 59 per cent and Croatia with 57 per cent.
Balkan countries in which people believe their governments are tackling corruption "fairly well" and "very well" are Albania, where 40 per cent held this view, Serbia, with 28 per cent, and Romania, with 27 per cent.
Balkan citizens also see corruption in political institutions. Once again Bosnia topped the list, with 54 per cent of those questioned saying they think "all" or "most" people in the prime minister's and president's office are corrupt.
Bosnia was followed by Kosovo, where 40 per cent believe the same and Albania, where the figure was 36 per cent. In Serbia, 17 per cent of those questioned believe "none" of the officials in the above mentioned offices are corrupt.
Governments as whole also were seen as corrupt by 56 per cent of people in Bosnia, by 47 per cent of respondents in Romania, by 46 per cent in Kosovo and by 45 per cent in Albania. On the other hand, only 20 per cent of people in Montenegro see their government officials as corrupt.
Other institutions are seen as partly corrupt, while a considerable number of people note corruption in the business sector as well.
People were also questioned about whether they or their family members had paid bribes to use public services. In Albania, 34 per cent of those questioned admitted having bribed public servants, followed by 29 per cent of people in Romania and 27 per cent of people in Bosnia.
Furthermore, 59 per cent of people in Croatia think it is not socially acceptable to report corruption, followed by 57 per cent of people in Bulgaria and 55 per cent of people in Bosnia.

Why the Prophetic Model of Fundraising Doesn't Work
by gisraeli on December 11, 2015
By Abi Sterne, V.P. for Jewish Experience & Director of the Joseph Meyerhoff Center for Jewish Experience, Hillel International
Fundraising requires a paradoxical balance of audacity and humility. It requires both describing a seriously challenging situation or social ill, while also displaying an immense amount of optimism and vision for creating a brighter future.
In many ways, fundraising is like prophecy.
The most satisfying and effective fundraising meetings don't start with a pitch. Much like the prophecies of the Bible, they start by pointing out a problem and presenting an alluring vision.
What is a vision, and why is it so important? Seymour Fox and William Novak wrote, in a small book called "Vision at the Heart":
A vision is a vibrant entity. It's a portrait of ideal human beings shaped by education—an image rich and exciting enough to guide your future choices. A vision is inspired by your belief about human possibility, while being influenced by your experience of human fallibility.
An educational vision must be able to answer certain questions: What kind of people will graduate from this school, camp, or other educational setting? What will they understand and believe? How will they behave? What will they know how to do? In what ways will they be able to contribute to the community? And what qualities, intrinsic to your vision, will enable them to keep growing and learning?
While this is a description specifically of an educational vision, it defines a vision more broadly. A vision is meant to help us understand what kind of world we are striving for, and how the people in that world will be living. A vision – just as presented by countless Biblical prophets — is intended to give us a sense of hope about the future, and a clear picture of what that future looks like.
Unlike prophecy, however, the best fundraising pitches do not offer all the solutions. The best pitches do not present a clear "if you do x, then you will be rewarded, and if you do y you will be punished." Rather, they present a problem and vision, with only partial ideas for how to move from problem and achieve the vision.
My best fundraising experiences have been those in which I can articulate a clear vision and a clear problem or obstacle to that vision, but not a complete solution. The presence of a vision — a goal — and the absence of a solution provides an opportunity for a true conversation and ultimately the most fruitful collaboration.
The failure of most prophets was, in fact, that they all too often laid down a gauntlet, an ultimatum, to their people. Rather than bringing their people along with their vision — rather than introducing the people to the problem and allowing the people to help solve it creatively – prophets generally provided a take-it-or-leave-it vision for the future.
Fundraisers can learn from the experience of the prophets. They can present a vision, but can and should also invite "their people" – i.e. the potential funders – into the conversation. Invite the potential funders into the process of solving the problem and building the vision. Think together with the potential funder about how to create the future that you both want.
Move from a prophetic model of fundraising, to a more collaborative and ultimately more successful model. The paradox of fundraising lies in the ability to have a clear and certain idea for the better future, while also engaging real questions and uncertainties and planning with the donor.

On the Tweed tarmac, a disaster area by design
Every three years, the Federal Aviation Administration mandates that the airport conduct a mass casualty emergency drill.
Author: Jim Altman

Updated: 5:49 PM EDT October 28, 2020
EAST HAVEN, Conn. — Sirens blaring and fire trucks speeding towards a plane on the runway and a car in flames at Tweed-New Haven Airport.
That was all part of the plan. Every three years, the Federal Aviation Administration mandates that the airport conduct a mass casualty emergency drill.
Even in 2020, the training for more than 100 first responders from all around the area, went ahead as scheduled.
Sean Scanlon, the executive director of Tweed said, "even in Covid, we still have to make sure we have all the proper safety procedures in place."
The scenario carried out by firefighters, police, EMT's and agents from the TSA and NTSB dealt with a car that had crashed into a plane on the runway and burst into flames.
Scanlon said the drill serves as a way to make sure every faction understands their role during an emergency.
"If this does happen, we know they are properly trained and they're ready to go," said Scanlon.

Balance Catamarans are high performance voyaging yachts of exceptional quality. We build them for seasoned voyagers, most of whom are purchasing their third or fourth yacht. These sailors demand a level of quality, performance and construction sophistication that cannot be achieved in mass production. Some of our owners are race and performance oriented, while others are more cruise oriented. They are united, however, in their desire to sail very fast on a safe comfortable catamaran capable of carrying significant cruising payloads.

Whats new in Exchange 2007?
In Tips & Advice
The latest version of Exchange was released at the end of 2006. But what does this new release offer
The latest version of Exchange, Microsoft's flagship Messaging and Collaboration server was released at the end of 2006. But what does this new release offer?
Whilst it did meet with some initial criticism regarding some of the choices made by Microsoft, including being 64bit only, and the (initial) removal of public folders, it was generally well received. With the release of Service Pack 1 it has become an even better messaging system.
This article is going to take a look at the client side improvements and benefits Exchange 2007 can offer to your users.
Outlook Web Access has received a complete overhaul. When ran in internet explorer, it offers an experience very similar to the desktop outlook client, but accessible from anywhere with an internet connection. Using the latest web technologies and relying heavily on AJAX and ActiveX, it provides a much smoother user experience then the previous incarnation.
In a browser that does not support ActiveX, such as Mozilla's Firefox, a cut down interface is available. This lacks some of the smoothness that is apparent in the Internet Explorer version, but is still a big improvement over 2003.
With the introduction of Service Pack 1, Public folder access is now available in OWA.
Outlook Web Access 2007
Outlook Desktop Client
When working in the office, integration with the outlook desktop client is as seamless as ever. Coupled with the latest version of Outlook it offers a complete messaging solution.
When working outside the office, connectivity has been greatly improved. Outlook Anywhere (previously MAPI over RPC) has been improved to allow a much smoother experience for user looking to connect from remote locations but still get full desktop connectivity.
The new Auto Discover service means that when attempting to connect to Exchange for the first time, all users need to enter is their email address and password, Exchange takes care of the rest, meaning an end to having to supply users with complicated RPC connection strings, certificates and proxies.
Outlook 2007 using Auto Discover
Activesync
Activesync has been improved to give users a much more outlook like experience on their mobile device. It continues to allow full push email functionality to any Activesync enabled mobile device, including Windows Mobile based phones and now the iPhone. It also now integrates Meeting Attendee information, enhanced Exchange search, allowing you to search your whole mailbox, rather than just local emails, and the ability to access SharePoint and SharePoint document stores.
The remote wiping functionality has been improved and now allows users to instigate a remote wipe of a lost or stolen device directly from inside Outlook Web Access.
Outlook Mobile Access has been removed completely from Exchange 2007. With Activesync now able to fulfill all the roles previously taken by OWA, the somewhat clumsy cut down web interface was no longer needed. Even if Activesync access is not available, the simple version of the Outlook Web Access interface is more than enough to allow access to your mail over a mobile device.
Whilst some of the changes in Exchange 2007 may take a little getting used to, overall it is a great improvement over the previous versions, as Exchange gets more and more user friendly. Microsoft's attempts to make configuration simpler, and access more consistent over an array of devices and access methods, can only be a good thing for users and administrators alike.

Couple's caravan site is best in UK
By Sarah ChambersTHE nation's caravanners have chosen a bloom-filled garden in East Anglia as their favourite haven in Britain.Members of the Caravan Club voted Stoneyways in Bredfield, near Woodbridge, as their top destination in a national competition.
By Sarah Chambers
THE nation's caravanners have chosen a bloom-filled garden in East Anglia as their favourite haven in Britain.
Members of the Caravan Club voted Stoneyways in Bredfield, near Woodbridge, as their top destination in a national competition.
Stoneyways owners Roy and Hilda Griggs, both 72, said they were "over the moon" about the accolade.
Mrs Griggs added: "Really and truly, it's just a hobby, but we enjoy it. We talk to everyone and are on first-name terms."
Caravanners enjoy their stay so much that many return year after year, and the couple have made many friends among them.
Mr Griggs said they would get something like 100 Christmas cards every year from their visitors.
"We treat everybody the same," he added.
Stoneyways is a certificated location, which means up to five caravans, motor caravans or trailer tents belonging to Caravan Club members are allowed to use the site at any one time.
There are around 2,600 certified locations throughout the UK visited by the Caravan Club's 850,000 membership.
The Griggs have thrown open part of their two-acre garden to their fellow caravanners for about the past 17 years and in that time have notched up several awards. They have been regional winners in the award and came second nationally last year.
Their garden includes a duck pond with a Monet-style bridge and a goldfish pond, and the site attracts a wide variety of birds and wildlife.
The couple are keen gardeners and Mr Griggs enjoys woodturning, with visitors often gathering to watch him at work.
They travelled to the House of Commons in London for the awards ceremony and were presented with a trophy and a cheque for £500 by Tim Yeo, South Suffolk MP and shadow environment and transport secretary.
The awards have traditionally been held at Westminster in recognition of the fact that it was Parliament that opened the doors to certified locations through the Caravan Sites and Control of Development Act 1960.

EXCLUSIVE: Biden says he'll make stance on packing Supreme Court clear when Senate votes on Amy Coney Barrett
By Roop Raj and FOX 2 staff
FOX 2 Detroit
DETROIT (FOX 2) - With a little more than two weeks before ballots are due across the country, former Vice President Joe Biden is stopping in Michigan to urge voting and will sit down for a one-on-one interview with FOX TV's Roop Raj.
Biden is visiting Southfield, Mich. on Friday to discuss his plans on protecting and expanding access to affordable health care.
Roop Raj talks one-on-one with Vice President Joe Biden
As Vice President Joe Biden visits Michigan, he talked one-on-one with Roop Raj about SCOTUS, the debates, and more.
During his visit to Michigan, Biden has agreed to a one-on-one interview with FOX TV which you can watch above.
Biden then went to Detroit to urge early in-person voting at clerk's office or voting centers which you can watch below or app users, watch on our Facebook page here.
The interview is similar to one done by President Donald Trump from the White House on September 21.
As Trump's Supreme Court nominee, Judge Amy Coney Barrett, moves through the nomination process, Biden has ducked questions about packing the Supreme Court until earlier this week when he said he's "not a fan."
Biden argued Friday that the focus should remain on Trump and Republicans' efforts to push through Barrett as a replacement for Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg before the Nov. 3 election.
"I'm gonna make clear my position in the next several days when they vote on this nominee but I've got to keep the focus on that," Biden said. "In the meantime, we should focus on what's happening right now. What's happening right now is they're about to rush through - speaking of packing the court - for the first time in American history, in an election, a nominee has been appointed, named by a president when the election has already begun. That's wrong. It shouldn't happen."
Biden said the one chance the American people can have a voice in the Supreme Court nomination process is during an election.
"The people's one opportunity to decide on lifetime appointments for court appointments is during an election: who they vote for in the senate and who they vote for in the president."
As the Senate has gone through the process of questioning Amy Coney Barrett, Biden says he'll announce his decision soon.
"When the committee makes a decision and the vote begins to occur, that's when I'll make my decision," he said.
RELATED: History of the Supreme Court: Why do 9 justices serve? What is 'packing the court'?
Biden also said this nomination was completely different from the one Barack Obama tried to nominate in 2016 because that was nine months before the election and there was precedent set.
"Many, many many many justices have been appointed in those circumstances. This is once the election has begun and the election is already underway."
Still, Biden did not waiver on the idea of adding justices.
"As you know I've not been a fan of packing the court but what may happen is we may have to take a look at how this all works out and determine whether there's other means by which we should take a look at how to make sure that this kind of thing doesn't happen," he said.
With the COVID-19 pandemic a focal point of the election, what is the first Biden will do if he wins the White House and how will he address the pandemic?
After speaking on Friday about his health care plan, Biden also talked with Roop Raj about the virus and says attacks on him and President Barack Obama's response to the swine flu don't compare to COVID-19.
"We lost 15,000 people in the swine flu. We did not shut down any business. Nothing happened in terms of the economy. What happened in this case, I laid out as early as the beginning of February, that this was a crisis. We left behind for the President a pandemic office because we learned from the swine flu and other things that have happened that we need to be prepared for viruses that could come from abroad, that you couldn't build a wall to stop," he said.
Biden also criticized Trump's treatment for not seeing for himself where the virus originated.
"I was pushing for the president to go and insist on you see the source of where this is coming from. He would not even ask, to the best of our knowledge yet, he did not even ask that of Xi Jinping, the president of China. Furthermore, he then complimented the president for being so transparent and we owe them a debt of gratitude and then when he found out how bad it was, he didn' say a single word," Biden said.
He said the country needs to speed up testing to better trace and track the spread of the virus and that claims that he called the Chinese travel ban xenophobic were wrong.
"I didn't call the travel ban xenophobic. I said he's xenophobic. It wasn't about the travel ban, it was about how - look what happened with the hate crimes going up against Asian Americans. He's been xenophobic across the board. Look what he's done in terms of Muslims - the Muslim ban. Look what he's done with in terms of dealing with everybody of different races or different circumstances."
Biden said the idea of mandatory vaccines isn't practical if the vaccine were ready immediately but he could see that schools or businesses require it, much like schools require a measles vaccine. Whenever it is readily available, Biden said it has to be thoroughly approved by scientists before a mandatory vaccine would be necessary.
"The president has undermined confidence in a vaccine by putting pressure on CDC, health care, and health departments," he said. "It's about having confidence that the scientists are putting it out: a consensus and transparency that it works and it's safe."
FOX interviewed Trump in a live one-on-one with similar topics. You can read more and watch that interview here.

Q: Find polygon for place in KML NOTE: Please make sure you read my updates at the bottom!!
I have a KML file that I load 'onto' a Google Map; I also have a searchbox where users can search for a city. When the city is found I place a marker which, in most (if not all) cases should fall in one of the polygons defined in the KML.
I can click a polygon and it shows an info-popup with the areacode for that area; however: when a marker is placed I would like to have this info-popup shown automatically (and possibly other(s) that are shown before placing the marker hidden).
I have looked over the Maps V3 documentation but was unable to find anything. Is this possible?
You can view the project at http://netnummer.robiii.me, the source can be found at https://github.com/RobThree/NetnummersNL
The relevant (snippet of) code is:
google.maps.event.addListener(autocomplete, 'place_changed', function () {
var place = autocomplete.getPlace();
if (!place.geometry)
return;
// Remove any existing markers
for (var i = 0, marker; marker = markers[i]; i++)
marker.setMap(null);
markers = [];
// Create a marker for place.
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
map: map,
icon: image,
title: place.name,
position: place.geometry.location
});
markers.push(marker);
// ... Here I should figure out in which polygon the marker is positioned
// ... and preferrably open/display the info-window which is shown when a
// ... polygon is clicked.
// Scroll (pan) to marker
map.panTo(place.geometry.location);
});
Also, as a side-question: autocomplete.getPlace(); always returns an object; what is the best way to find out if the object is an actual (useful) place? When I search for xxxx for example, getPlace() returns Object {name: "xxxx"}, an actual result (like searching for Amsterdam) returns Object {address_components: Array[4], adr_address: "<span class="locality">Amsterdam</span>, <span class="country-name">Nederland</span>", …}. I currently use if (!place.geometry) to find out if the place is useful / an actual place; however I guess there's a better way ('best practice'?) to do this?
Edit 1: just stumbled across With Google Maps API V3, determine if a marker is inside a KML Layer boundary. Currently looking into it. However, I should probably note that the KML is hosted by a 3rd party and updated at will by them; as I use static site hosting I prefer not to have a separate process to extract the coordinates from polygons from the KML file. I prefer to "read" the KML (in)directly.
Edit 2: I moved from (direct) KML to a FusionTables based solution. I can now "highlight" polygons where the place is in. Now all I (still) need is a way to figure out how to show it's InfoWindow. I'll look into that tomorrow; it seems I need to query (again) into a DataTable or something and get the label info that way.
Edit 3: Solved!
A: I should've been in bed by now (see edits and comments) but hey... I just don't let go that easily...
So here's what I did:
*
*Move from (direct) KML to Fusion Tables (Resulting html)
*Fire off an extra query using Google Visualization's datatables to get the data I want for the specific region (Resulting html)
*Use the place variable I already had for lat/lng and name and show infowindow
*...
*Profit!
I purposely linked above links to specific diffs or files of a specific version so later changes/updates won't mess with this answer. It's a bit too much to post all specifics in this post but I hope this helps someone.
The final result can be seen here.

There are reasons to be cautiously optimistic about the level of savings in the UK, figures have shown.
The latest Nationwide Savings Index increased by eight points last month, now putting it at 80 – its second highest level in 2009.
More people are putting money away either regularly or occasionally compared to May, the research showed, while fewer people are saving nothing at all.
Andy Hutchinson, head of savings at Nationwide, said: "These positives may suggest that the wider UK economy, or at least the savings environment, is stabilising."
He added that it is too soon to establish whether attitudes towards saving have seen a marked improvement, suggesting that "caution should be exercised".
Further statistics from the index revealed that people are still cautious about saving for the future as the Importance of Savings Index fell by three points, while people also expressed uncertainty over whether now is a good time to save.
National Savings and Investments also announced last week that it had made £7.5 billion sales via nsandi.com and NS&I's contact centres – up more than £2 billion against the previous year.

Wild Water Racing: Matt Bishop and Grant Underwood train with Neil Stamps on a white water rapid.
This is a bit like downhill skiing, but in a kayak. Wild Water Racing takes place on Grade Two to Grade Four white water, usually in specialised racing kayaks. The best known racing kayaks are called Wavehoppers. Competitors race against the clock, not each other.
Wild Water Racing kayaks are designed to be both fast and tough, as the courses are often rocky. The kayaks initially feel very wobbly, but are surprisingly stable once you get used to them.
There is a national Wild Water Racing championship with paddlers starting in Division B, before gaining promotion to the harder Division A. Wild Water Races can take ten to 25 minutes to complete, although there are also two minute Sprint events.
The Sharks is an active Wild Water Racing London club. Many clubs will own a Wavehopper or two, which can be used by members.

In a previous blog post we looked at the ebook of interviews with data analysts and data scientists put together by Liou, Tao and Lin.
In this blog post we look at the second book in the series titled The Data Analytics Handbook CEOs and Managers.
What are managers looking for in a Data Analyst and a Data Science position, what skills do they require and how do they define and compare these positions within a business?
The information revolution is real.
Data analytics is becoming increasingly accessible.
Do your own projects to break into the industry.
Statistics is more important than programming.
The most important skill is being able to ask the right questions.
I think that last point is quite understated. A word repeated over and over again was curiosity. Interviewees stressed that technical skills like statistics and SQL can be taught, but curiosity and a love of data are innate.
My favorite interviews were with Dean Abbott and David Gerster, perhaps because I took the most notes. Below are some key points from my notes taken from across the interviews.
You can get a long way by counting and summing things, model building can be expensive.
An analysis that does not turn into a decision in the business is basically a waste of time.
When working or presenting work focus on the beginning (framing) and end of the problem (recommended actions).
Data Analysts answer questions with provided data, Data Analysts define the problem and collect the data and deliver answers.
I recommend this quick read to any aspiring data scientists looking for insight from leaders in the industry.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this book. It looks interesting and fun for a quick read.

Concept. The "Magic Bullet" or "Hypodermic Needle Theory" of direct influence effects was based on early observations of the effect of mass media, as used by Nazi propaganda and the effects of Hollywood in the 1930s and 1940s. ... It suggests that the media injects its messages straight into the passive audience.
The cultural theorist, Stuart Hall, explored how people make sense of media texts and claimed audiences were active not passive. An active audience engages, interprets and responds to a media text in different ways and is capable of challenging the ideas encoded in it.
Its strengths – rapid dissemination and amplification of content and the ability to lead informal conversations – make it a powerful tool to use in a professional context. This commentary explains the overall concept of social media and offers suggestions on usage and possible types of scientific content.
Because TV works. It is still the most effective brand awareness channel. TV advertising creates, builds and grows brands. ... Several recent reports confirm that nothing is more effective than television, in both short and long term strategies, and warn marketers against shifting money away from traditional mediums.
Trust and impact: TV is the most trusted form of advertising and remains most likely to make consumers laugh, move them to tears or trigger emotions. ...

Key demographics vary by outlet, time of day, and programming type, but they are generally composed of individuals who are younger and more affluent than the general public: "Young adult viewers have been TV's target demographic for decades, because they're thought to have less brand loyalty and more disposable income. ...
There is no doubt that TV advertising continues to evolve, and that more customization and personalization of practically everything, including ads, is the future. But, TV advertising is still highly relevant and, overall, has proven to have a strong impact on brand success.
A television advertisement (also called a television commercial, commercial, advert, TV advert or simply an ad) is a span of television programming produced and paid for by an organization. It conveys a message promoting, and aiming to market, a product or service.

At Mystery we spend a lot of time looking at new trends in the F&B business, some might say all our time in various different capacities. It's our business to keep up with consumer demands and choices and it involves a lot of discovering new ingredients and tastes…a lot of eating and drinking basically!
This Brazilian super fruit is blended with non-dairy milk or yoghurt and topped with granola, fresh fruit, bee pollen or other tasty options. This trend is well-established in LA with eateries such as Açai Jungle Bowls Cafe, Açai Nation and Backyard Bowls. In the UK, The Mae Deli and The Good Life Eatery's açai bowls are highly rated and Viva Açai in London positions itself at London's first 'Açai Bar'. This trend is set to continue with the more macro trend towards superfoods.
This continues a consumer shift for focusing on savoury as much as sweet. Matcha is an extremely beneficial, strong ground Japanese green tea, and traditional Matcha tea making involves sieving the green powder, creating a paste and whisking it up into a veritable tea frenzy! Latte-like creations involve steamed milk and even more whisking! In LA, Matcha Box sells itself as the first Matcha-teria, while in the UK, The Good Life Eatery, Curators Coffee Gallery, Notes and Timberyard are all highly rated for their Matcha Latte offer!
This trend will present itself in several ways this year. One of these is the continued trend of seeing vegetables replacing carbs, so replacing wheats and rice with veggie versions, such as spiralized courgette noodles, cauliflower rice, and sweet potato pizza bases. Mystery's client Ella Woodward (of Deliciously Ella) helped drive a massive spirulising trend in 2015 and utilises her veg-focused approach The Mae Deli.
Another vegetable treatment is a 'root to stem' approach, similar to the 'nose to tail' meat dining focus, this sees a transformation in how all elements of vegetables are used, from juicing to pesto. Everything has its use and place on the table and we'll see a lot more restaurants making a conscious effort to use every little bit of every ingredient as part of the trend towards zero waste.
While Coconut has been gathering pace for the last couple of years with the introduction of Coco water brands such as the original US/Brazilian collaboration, Vita Coco, the delectable Coconut with its "totally tropical taste" is going from strength to strength as an integral part of the "Free From" movement, with the trend for coconut water expanding to coconut oil, coconut milk (as a dairy alternative), coconut-based yogurts and Fro-Yos, coconut-based ice cream and just the simple, raw fruit itself.
Our UK client Yorica has just launched the first free-from fro-yo, ice cream and smoothie bar in London's Soho with dairy and other allergen-free products based on coconut and rice milk.
Our founder and international man of Mystery, Dan Einzig flagged this trend back in October, but it deserves a re-mention here! This dish originated in Hawaii and is making big inroads in the US. The sashimi filled bowls are hugely popular with sushi lovers. The bowls contain chopped or cubed raw fish, which is traditionally ahi Tuna or yellow fin, over seaweed rice and tossed in a marinade of soy sauce, macadamia nuts, green onion, sesame oil, ginger, avocado, mango and even chilies. The dish can be offered in a 'build your own bowl' style, which allows for easily personalised menus where consumers choose the ingredients. Effective personalisation is a hugely popular shift that will only continue to grow in London. Currently one of Kerb's popular street food traders is Pokē by name and offer.
Chicken is one of those food products that, although it has had its issues, will never go out of fashion… a bit like Madonna, it just keeps reinventing itself!
From Nando's and Chicken Shop, to Le Coq and Tramshed, chicken is inherent in our dining scene.
We continue our chicken obsession this year with a focus on spicy heat flavours...Ethnic fried chicken sandwiches were sought out by consumers in 2015, and spicy heat flavours will be a popular choice that looks set to establish itself further this year.
The hot new chicken trend will be rotisserie style chicken in an eat-in environment – essentially "premiumising" the chicken category in the same way that the 'better burger' boom has done for the humble burger over the last five years.
So if you have an Açai bowl for breakfast, Matcha for your morning tea, pokê for lunch, rotisserie chicken with spirulised veggies dinner and a free-from, coconut froyo for dessert, you're pretty much hot right now!

Q: Do I need a threadpool to manage multiple threads? I've got a set of Java classes which implement a relatively high frequency polling solution which uses FutureTasks running on separate threads so the system remains responsive while the future tasks do their polling of remote servers.. these threads are pretty short lived, they can do their work in in about 200ms and I only need to run on task at a time, but I need to poll at the rate of every 2 seconds or so.
So every two seconds I'm creating a new thread which I keep in a private field, and then when its done its work I just set it = null, and then recreate it. Is that going to cause problems?

Jason landed a summer internship at Edwards Lifesciences through his mentor at the Engineering School. Edwards Lifesciences is medical equipment company and one of the largest employers in Irvine. Jason is working as a quality engineer for their heart valves division.
When I applied, I didn't even know where Irvine was. But when I came down to visit, I realized UCI was the place for me. I knew right away it was an environment I would thrive in.
We'll be posting update videos from Jason as he continues his journey to graduation. We hope it helps to see someone else's real experiences.
Jason talks about the senior-year projects he's worked on and his goals for his last quarter.
Jason checks in from his summer internship at Edwards Lifesciences, one of the largest medical companies in Irvine.
Jason is really looking forward to creating his own robot in a class his friends say is the best class they took at UCI.
He's a junior studying Mechanical Engineering who went from not knowing where UCI was to making it his home away from home.

The beauty of the Ohio State's stadium during game time.
When Thanksgiving break approaches, many families book their flights and hotels for tropical vacations like Punta Cana and Florida; however, some families have different interests. Some families enjoy going to the movies, out to dinner or even going to a sporting event.
During the fall, football is talked about frequently among friends; especially college football. One of the greatest rivalry games to take place every year is the Ohio State Buckeyes against the Michigan Wolverines. This rivalry has been going on since 1918. Every year, the game begins at noon and switches between Columbus,Ohio, to Ann Arbor, Michigan, every year.
Both teams have beautiful stadiums in breathtaking locations. Ohio State's stadium, also known as the Horseshoe due to the shape of the stadium, has an astonishing environment due to rabid fans and long-standing history. Although Ohio State has been victorious the past four years against Michigan and its head coach Jim Harbaugh, the games are usually close and full of late-game excitement. This year my family and I traveled to visit my brother and HHS graduate Scot Levonaitis. HHS graduate and current Rutgers student Kyle Zackeru traveled with my family.
Many coaches come and go for both teams but the rivalry is still heated between the two teams. This past weekend, Ohio State made a statement during the game. The final score was 62-39 with the Buckeyes on top. Although the score might not sound close, it was a tough battle between the rivals.
The fans of the the two college teams can get out of hand at points but overall, the atmosphere is family friendly with exciting moments. The stadium becomes very loud and rowdy when third down approaches or the home team scores. It really shows how much people care about football in Ohio.
While some families enjoy grabbing some precious sun rays before winter begins, the Levonaitis family bonded over football and a collegiate rivalry spanning 100 years.

unsolved murder
Kimster Director Staff Member
The mother of murdered Emma Caldwell has issued a new TV appeal over the 12-year-old killing and warned the perpetrator remains a danger to others.
The 27-year-old's body was discovered in Roberton woods near Biggar, South Lanarkshire, in May 2005, a month after she was last seen alive.
As well as Ms Caldwell's distraught mother Margaret Caldwell, Police Scotland officers also appealed for help in solving what is one of Scotland's most high profile unsolved murders.
Ms Caldwell urged anyone with information to come forward on the BBC's Crimewatch Roadshow saying: "I need this person to be found. I need him to tell me why he would take my daughter's life and leaving the whole family feeling as they do. We miss her so much. We miss her every day".

More than 13 years after Emma Caldwell's murder, detectives report suspect to prosecutors
POLICE investigating the murder of Emma Caldwell more than 13 years ago have named a suspect in a report to prosecutors.
Detective Chief Superintendent David McLaren delivered the file to the Crown Office on Friday – almost three years to the day since police were ordered to reopen their investigation into Emma's death.
The new inquiry, codenamed Operation Bynum, was ordered after newspaper reports claimed officers in charge of the original inquiry had failed to pursue a man considered a potential suspect at the time.
During the last of a series of police interviews, the man had taken officers to isolated woodland in South Lanarkshire where Emma's body was found. The man, now 44, admitted taking her there at least several times before but was never interviewed again.
The new inquiry team believe they have made significant progress since Lord Advocate Frank Mulholland ordered the murder be reinvestigated in June 2015.
Their report will now be considered by leading prosecutors at the Crown Office, who will advise detectives on the next steps.

Cold case cops to probe unsolved sex attacks on back of Emma Caldwell inquiry
A major new inquiry into unsolved historic crimes has been launched by police on the back of the Emma Caldwell murder investigation.
The probe will include scores of potential offences which have emerged following a re-examination of more than 1000 statements given to the original inquiry over a decade ago.
Potential evidence of rapes and other sex crimes will be investigated as well as a range of other possible cases.
A source said: "This is a major inquiry which will run separately from the murder investigation.
"It will follow up on evidence of crime in statements given during the original inquiry more than 10 years ago.
"Because of the nature of the murder inquiry, some relate to potential offences against women working in the red light district at that time but by no means all.
"There is a genuine range and some of the potential victims are male."
The new operation is the third major police inquiry relating to the case.

Emma Caldwell murder cops close in on suspect after 14-year hunt for killer
The 14-year-old murder case of Emma Caldwell is on the verge of a dramatic development.
The Record understands police are about to bring a charge in the wake of investigations.
Such a move would create fresh hope for Emma's family in their quest for justice.
The investigation into her death has been plagued by police errors and controversial efforts to cover up those failings.
But a comprehensive review of the case ordered by the Crown Office in 2015 has now led to a breakthrough.
The Crown Office has instructed Police Scotland to appoint specialist officers to carry out a final review of all the evidence gathered.
A senior police source has indicated this is the clearest signal they have received that a murder charge is likely to follow.

The number of prisoners passing their academic exams while in detention has increased dramatically in recent years, according to new figures from the prisons service (Kriminalvården).
Over the past two years the proportion of prisoners passing their exams has increased from four to 20 percent.
In 2005 only four percent of the 3,500 prisoners that studied adult education courses passed their exams or improved on previous results.
By 2007 the number of prisoners that were pursuing an education while in detention had declined to 2,900 but the proportion of successful students had improved to 20 percent, according to Dagens Nyheter.
Education at Sweden's prisons has undergone major changes in recent years. Previously an inmate could choose between only 3 or 4 courses. Today the country's 13,000 prisoners can choose from 110 high school courses.

Federal safety regulators are trying to speed up repairs for the millions of cars recalled because of defective Takata airbag inflators that can rupture and spew deadly shrapnel when they're deployed.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) today issued what's called the "Amended Coordinated Remedy Order." It sets deadlines for when automakers must have replacement parts available for customers. The airbags have been blamed for 11 deaths and about 180 injuries in the United States.
Of course, the problem is that many thousands of consumers have done just that, only to be frustrated when their dealer was unable to make the repairs because of lack of parts. NHTSA has also been frustrated by the delays and has tried to speed things up previously but says that, this time, it aims to get results.
"The amended order will speed up the availability of replacement air bags, and continues to prioritize the highest risk vehicles to protect the traveling public," said U.S. Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx.
The latest order was issued to Takata and the 19 affected automakers. It requires replacement parts to be obtained on an accelerated basis and made available first to the riskiest vehicles.
The order sets new requirements for automakers to certify to NHTSA when they have obtained a sufficient supply of replacement parts to begin repairs. It builds on the "Coordinated Remedy Program" initiated in November 2015, incorporating the additional tens of millions of inflators recalled or scheduled for future recall since that date, most of which were included in the May 2016 recall expansion, NHTSA said.
At last count, there were about 46 million recalled Takata airbag inflators in 29 million vehicles in the U.S. Another NHTSA order issued in May 2016 requires automakers to recall an additional batch of inflators over the next three years, ultimately recalling nearly 70 million inflators in 42 million vehicles.
NHTSA has committed to seeking a 100 percent recall completion rate, but as of Dec. 2, automakers reported they have so far repaired approximately 12.5 million inflators, roughly a quarter of the total number currently on the recall list.
"Ultimately all frontal Takata inflators using non-desiccated phase-stabilized ammonium nitrate (PSAN) will be recalled," NHTSA said.
The full list of vehicles that are currently affected or will be affected by future Takata recalls is available here.
Note that even if your vehicle is on the list of cars that will eventually be recalled, it may not yet have been recalled. To check the current status, jot down your VIN number, then use NHTSA's VIN look-up.
Manufacturers are obligated to notify you by mail when your car is recalled. You should then contact your dealer to arrange for repairs. Note that the dealer cannot complete the recall until the parts are in hand.
Don't ask your dealer to disable your airbag. It's illegal to do so and most experts say the protection offered by the airbag outweighs the slight risk of the inflator rupturing in a crash.

Main Engine: Sulzer 7RTA84C 2-stroke diesel engine.
UPDATE December 2008 The ship was converted to an FPSO in Korea during 2008. She is now deployed at the Vincent Oil Fields off Australia under her new name "Maersk Ngujima-Yin".
Drifting along at low speed in the Persian Gulf off the coast of Saudi Arabia. Air temperature was close to 40 degrees celsius (104 Fahrenheit). The yellow lines on deck mark a 'Safe Passage' meant to guide people from ashore safely to the acommodation. The ship's cargo tanks are located directly below the deck.
Sailing in the Persian Gulf we came across this piece of very(!) calm water. The big thing under the water is the ship's bulbous bow i.e. the giant under water "ball" on the bow of a ship. The bolbous bow improves the ship's aqua dynamics giving it less water resistance.
Less calm water yet still calm. A look at the bow and bulbous bow. The numbers on the side of the bow indicate the draft which in this situation is 19 meters (62 feet). We were in a partly loaded condition at the time, en route to Ras Tanurah for further loading.
A look over the enormous weather deck on Ellen Maersk looking from the navigation bridge. The crane is operating the hoses for cargo operations which was commenced later the same day. The 3 biggest pipes in the midships pipe section are the 3 main cargo lines. The ship is fitted with 3 seperate pump / piping systems.
The navigational bridge of Ellen Maersk. The chart table in the foreground is used for route planning, i.e. planning of a future route to be travelled. Route planning is typically a bit tricky on tanker vessels, since they, unlike e.g. container vessels, are not enganged in a specific schedule. The port of destination might change several times during the voyage!
Another look at the bridge, here at the main control panel. The stick a little to the left of the middle is the engine telegraph where the main engine is controlled from the bridge. The black 'telephone' to the right is the VHF radio used to communicate with other ships, shore stations, harbours etc.
Anchored at the carribean island St. Eustacius for bunkering (refueling). Quite a large vulcano seen to the right! We were en route to Galveston, Texas for unloading.
At a monthly fire drill we tried one of the foam monitors (cannons) on deck. It made the deck look like a snowy landscape for an hour or so. The ship is equipped with enough monitors to cover every square inch of the deck with foam. The foam is much like soap, so the ship was all nice and clean afterwards.
Looking downwards from the very top of the funnel. My fellow cadet Klaus is standing next to the railing in the upper part of the picture. The two big yellow round things are air intakes for the engine room ventilation system.
Still in the top of the funnel, now looking ahead. The two black balls to the left indicate that we are "Not under Command" due to the fact that we had engine problems at the time this picture was taken. Nothing serious though. The entire wheelhouse is visible here, with it's mass of masts and navigational lights. The two radar scanners are also visible.
Sailing at full speed (17 knots) in the Atlantic Ocean. Picture taken from the starboard bridge wing. The green thing resting og two rails in the middle of the picture is the drum containing the pilot ladder. This ladder can be extended over the side when embarking / disembarking a pilot.
A look back the way we came. Still in the Atlantic. On tanker vessels the superstructure (accommodation) is typically placed all the way aft, since the view ahead is not blocked by for instance containers.
Looking aftwards from the bow of the ship. The pipes on the over head railing include water for fire extinguishing and an oil line for Crude Oil Washing (used for flushing the tanks). At about midships this tube railing also carries the 3 main cargo lines for loading and discharging.
Here we are discharging to a smaller tanker in the Mexican Gulf. The smaller tanker will then transport the oil to Loop and Galveston, USA as Ellen Maersk was too large to go any closer to the coast. (We couldn't even see land from the ship).
As we disharged the ship's draft naturally decreased, and meanwhile the draft of the smaller ship increased, so this funny situation occured near the end of the operation. You could almost touch the bridge wing of the smaller tanker.
Together with a fellow cadet I repainted the swimming pool and took the liberty of decorating it with the company logo: the white star with 7 "arms". The picture was later published in the company's news magazine "Maersk Post".
After crossing the Atlantic Ocean again we berthed at Fos sur Mer in France. This picture is taken from the port (left) bridge wing. The blue things connected to the ship's manifold are called Chicksan Arms through which the cargo is being discharged.
Here I am standing in front of the cargo manifold and the chicksan arms. The chicksan arms are equpped with flexible joints, allowing them follow the ship's movements up and down during tides and draft changes. The round thing with a hatch on top a little to the right of me is an entrance to one of the many water ballast tanks.
For the first time in three months I touched earthly soil, here taking a walk on the pier at Fos sur Mer providing me with a chance to fotograph the ship from ashore. The ropes holding the ship in place are actually steel wires, since they are less flexible thus fixating the ship stronger than is possible with traditional mooring ropes. The strict fixing is important due to the chicksan arms, as they cannot take too much movement back and forth. At the very tip of the mooring lines we see short pieces of rope. These add a little bit of flexibility.
So here it is. A full-view of the Ellen Maersk berthed at Fos sur Mer. It is difficult to to determine her real-life size in this picture however. Super tankers are truly giants of the sea!
Finally a little peak inside the engine room with the main engine in the bottom of the picture (only 5 of the 7 cylinders are visible). A spare piston to the right alongside a spare cylinder liner. The grey structure in the upper right hand corner is one of the main boilers for steam production. Steam is used for powering the turbines for the cargo oil pumps.
These 3 steam turbines powered the 3 cargo pumps with 2700 kW each and gave them a capacity of 5000 cubic meters per hour. In comparison, an auxiliary engine on Clifford Maersk produced 3000 kW! The cargo pumps were only used when disharging, since shore pumps were used when loading.

Two Prisoners Released
Rokhsareh (Mahrokh) Ghanbari
In the endeavour to deal with the COVID-19 crisis, Iranian authorities released thousands of prisoners in mid-March to stop the spread within the country's prisons. It was noted, however, that many Christians detained for their faith were not included. We are pleased to report, however, that two Christian prisoners have gained their freedom.
Rokhsareh (Mahrokh) Ghanbari, who was initially charged in December 2018, appeared in court on July 27th of the following year for alleged "propaganda against the system." (To review a previously posted report, go to this page.) In October 2019, she was sentenced to one year in prison. We are thankful that although Mahrokh was granted temporary release on March 2nd, prison officials informed her on April 2nd that she no longer needs to return.
In March 2019, Amin Khaki was sentenced to 14 months in prison for alleged propaganda against the regime. While Amin was also temporarily released on March 2nd due to COVID-19 concerns, he received notification on April 6th that he would not have to return to prison.
Both Mahrokh and Amin were required to pay a $3,000 USD security deposit when released in March. However, it is expected that this money will be returned to them. For more on the persecution of Christians in Iran, visit our country report.
Praise God for the recent release of these two believers! Remember them in your prayers as they readjust to life outside of prison in the midst of these unprecedented times. Pray for the various Gospel outreaches that are going into Iran, whether they be conducted through satellite television broadcasts, ministries available via the Internet, or other forms of evangelism. As a result, may multitudes place their hope and confidence in the Risen Saviour.

who sat on the Board as a Director involved in the development of the camp and she also sits in a wheelchair experiencing what the camp has to offer its guests.
I became involved with the ALC society a little over three years ago. I was drawn to the project because I myself have special needs and wanted a way to give back all the kindness, support, encouragement and love that was shown to my family and I when we needed it most.
I am fortunate to have supportive and loving family and friends who have done whatever possible so I would never miss out on any crucial childhood experiences. For me a vacation was meaningful and special if I shared it with the ones I love. Through hard times and happy times, we did it as a family. That made all the difference. This is why I was so attracted to the ALC project.
ALC is a place that will cater to the whole family as opposed to just the individual facing significant challenges. That makes it unique. I think that is valuable because families are much stronger and happier when they are kept together. Another feature that really caught my attention was the fact that the camp is open to anyone of any age and their family. I've had many opportunities to experience camps for just special needs people, but I hated having to be separated from my family and able-bodied friends. It certainly gave my parents a break, but it would have been wonderful if they could have been there with me.
Often when families are facing challenges or have a member with special needs it is almost impossible to go on a vacation and just spend time together. It is true that the camps and facilities that provide respite are valuable. But I think it is much more valuable to individuals with special needs and their entire support network, to have a place to get away together. Irreplaceable memories are made and new bonds are formed which will help them get through anything. I felt that before and still do, every time I get to share an experience with the ones I love.
I spent the first year and a half of my involvement with ALC as a speaker raising funds and working for the camp, yet I hadn't visited the site myself. As other Board members told me about it a vivid and beautiful picture was created in my mind. The first time I went up to the camp to see it for myself I was not disappointed. I felt like I was coming home. It was early October and all the leaves were a million different shades of colour and the birds were still singing. None of the sounds of the conventional world could be heard. It was magical. There is no other way to describe the feeling.
I have explored nature many times thanks to the ingenuity of my parents, but I don't think I ever before really understood the sense of peace and healing that can come just from standing still and letting the beauty of nature unfold around me. Sharing that experience with several other friends with disabilities, and also with my family was very special.
In the past whenever I attempted to follow a walking trail there were often obstacles and I would have to turn back. But not that day. Thanks to the CRIS society I was carried in a trail rider, I went for an unencumbered obstacle free hike. For the first time in my life I could go wherever I wanted and the obstacles didn't matter. It was a little scary at first because I had never ridden in a trail rider before but as I got used to the sensation, I was taken in by the panorama of beauty that surrounded me. My fears subsided and an overwhelming sense of exploration, freedom, joy and exhilaration swept over me. I got to see everything that I wanted, including little surprises along the way. I got to go down to the lake where I sat and enjoyed its beauty. I got to go over hills, logs and fences. I experienced the strange bumpy sensation of going over uneven ground. In other words I got to experience pure and simple freedom.
The fact that my family, friends and the people who I worked with on this remarkable project were able to enjoy all these experiences with me made it all the more special and unforgettable. It is one thing to spend months and months trying to describe to people what kind of freedom, rejuvenation and joy a place like ALC can bring to special needs individuals and their families, but it is an entirely different thing to experience it for yourself. Because of my special needs I assumed I understood all this already. But I was wrong. I didn't really understand what this place of freedom was like until I experienced it for myself.
I can tell you firsthand that ALC is about so much more than accessible buildings. It is about the rejuvenation, refreshment, joy, and memory-making experiences that lay in wait for many people like me. ALC will make a difference in their lives and will change their perspective forever. That is the true magic of a place like this. It will allow each individual and each family to experience and gain what they need, to find their own version of freedom.
I urge you to become involved and experience this magic for yourself. Don't just take my word for it!

Cedric Smith is a self-taught painter and photographer who draws on a wide range of influences and sources, traditional and contemporary, to express his poignant observations of African-American life in the rural south. These include landscape art, pop art, brand advertising and especially photography, either his own, vintage images, or a combination of the two. Much of the Philadelphia-born, Atlanta-based artist's work is inspired by an observation from his childhood: the complete absence of African-Americans in advertising and on the labels of popular brands during that and earlier times.

In Class With Professor CM Burroughs, Columbia College Chicago
By Frontier Poetry | November 18, 2019
A primary mission of Frontier is to provide high quality resources and practical help for serious poets—so we've been reaching out to poetry professors to help give clarity to this strange journey and stranger craft. This month, we got the chance to hear from CM Burroughs, Associate Professor of Poetry at Columbia College Chicago.
What features do you believe define contemporary poetry today?
CM Burroughs: Thankfully, diversity is the most important feature of contemporary poetry. Over the last several decades, all ethnicities of writers have infiltrated a historically homogenous canon and incrementally enhanced what will become a more inclusive canon for readers and writers to come. Gwendolyn Brooks's "We Real Cool" will not be one of the few poems by a writer of color taught in high school classrooms, as was the case for me. Brooks will be one of the many writers to represent the diversity vital to a wholistic comprehension of poetry reading and writing.
Students fall into the trap of writing without interrogating the urgencies of their subjects. It is important for a beginner to understand what is most urgent/vital/important for them to write about and to be factually clear about their subject. A beginner ought to be able to answer the question, "What is this poem about?" Second in importance is to discover how to communicate this urgent and clarified subject to a reader. This requires the poet step outside of herself to conceive the nudity with which a reader comes to the page and understand how to guide a reader through the poem. It's very easy to write these instructions here, but the execution is extremely difficult and requires a great deal of study and practice. The divide between writer and reader can be a chasm if the writer does not understand what and how the poem needs to communicate to the reader. An easy analogy to understanding how to close this divide is driving from one destination to another. A person doesn't simply climb into the car and instantly arrive to their destination by magic; there are clear steps, visual cues, instructions, etc., that allow the person to begin with the idea of a destination, excavate each detail that it takes to get there, and reach the destination.
I tell my students that in order to write well they must also read well. I have many students who surprise me with how much and how often they read, pulling unassigned books out of their packs in class to share with peers. Every now and then my students introduce me to new poets, up-and-coming contemporary poets. It's a wonderful exchange. These students become better writers because they understand more of what is possible in writing poetry. I believe it breeds a sense of adventure and imbues them with a desire to meet their contemporaries in literature, communicating through their own construction of verse. Reading, the act of it, does not come easy given the interwebs' far-reaching influence. Societally, we've unintentionally trained ourselves and our attentions spans far from the energies it takes to consume short-form and long-form literature. We must train to read as we train for any marathon, becoming more skilled over time.
What book of poetry / craft would you always recommend to new poets?
I recommend Richard Hugo's The Triggering Town and Mary Oliver's A Poetry Handbook, primarily because they are accessible texts, and both relay important foundational knowledge from which more complex knowledge can be built.
CM Burroughs is Associate Professor of Poetry at Columbia College Chicago. She is the author of two collections: The Vital System (Tupelo Press, 2012) and Master Suffering (Tupelo Press, 2021.) Burroughs has been awarded fellowships and grants from Yaddo, the MacDowell Colony, Djerassi Foundation, Virginia Center for the Creative Arts, and Cave Canem Foundation. She has received commissions from the Studio Museum of Harlem and the Warhol Museum to create poetry in response to art installations. Burroughs' poetry has appeared in journals and anthologies including Poetry magazine, Callaloo, jubilat, Ploughshares, VOLT, Best American Experimental WritingAnthology, and The Golden Shovel Anthology: New Poems Honoring Gwendolyn Brooks. Burroughs has been a featured reader and has given poetry lectures and writing workshops at institutions and reading series across America and internationally.

The demographics in the U.S.A are changing rapidly. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, in 25 years, the so-called "minority" populations, combined, will become the majority in the United States; however the diversity in the healthcare workforce is lagging behind. In 2014 African Americans, Hispanic Americans and American Indians together constitute nearly 38 percent of the U.S. population; however they make up 19% of nurses (AACN 2013), 8.9% of physicians (AAMC 2014) and 13.3% of dentists (ADEA 2013).
Since minority-providers tend to serve their own communities (Porterfield DS et al. J Healthcare for the Poor and Underserved; 2003; 14:256), this lack of diversity is proposed to play a major role in leading to provider shortages and health disparities among different U.S populations (Sullivan Commission on Diversity Report 2007). The need to improve diversity among healthcare providers is widely recognized by Colleges and Universities.
Noticing the shortage of college counselors (954 student for 1 counselor in CA; California Dept of Education Data May, 2016), coupled with the lack of easily accessible mentorship programs that provide individualized guidance based on the students interests and strengths, Pediatrician, Adjunct Associate Professor Ozlem Equils, MD from Cedars-Sinai Medical Center/UCLA School of Medicine founded non-profit MiOra (means my light, pronounced me-ora) in California in June 2015. MiOra's goal is to help promising high school and college students, interested in a career in STEM or healthcare fields, with college entry and completion.

leadership will be those who empower others."

According to the, American Association of Colleges of Nurses, employment for Nurses will increase significantly over the next few years in comparison to most occupations.
Nursing is the nation's largest health care profession, totaling over 3.1 million RN's across the US. Regardless of the fields current status, the US Bureau of Labor Statistics projects that employment for RN's will grow faster than many other jobs through 2018.
Being a Nurse is a very rewarding profession that offers various job placement opportunities, but it takes hard work and perseverance. In 2011, a national study revealed that the acceptance rate for nursing schools across the country was approximately 39.5%. So to make sure you are included in that percentage, we are speaking with Dr. Kathleen Potempa, Dean and Professor at the University of Michigan School of Nursing, for her expert advice to help the next generation of students seeking a career as a Nurse.

The Basis's grantmaking exercise is concentrated on serving the wants of artists by funding the establishments that assist them. We've got been headquartered within the UK for over a hundred years and we purpose to play our half in UK society through our long run help for arts & tradition. A technique that the ARTstART program aligns itself with the mission of CLU is within the core of what this system is. At the core of the program, it's essentially a leadership program. This 12 months's event was particularly thrilling in that earlier within the week, the Kimball's subsequent chapter was revealed when Park Metropolis Municipal announced its plans to purchase 5.25 acres in Bonanza Park East to create an arts and tradition district anchored by the Sundance Institute and the Kimball Artwork Heart.
The fund offers repayable finance to arts organisations with ambitions to develop, achieve nice inventive quality and have an extra positive impression on society. The fund will carry arts applications and supplies to schools which have experienced a lower in 5-year graduation rates, addressing their budgets, textbooks, and music applications. The couple additionally supports the arts out west.

Golf club's reigning champions defend their titles
Search the The Stonewall Argus & Teulon Times
Josh Skapin
More from Josh Skapin
The reigning champions of the Pincher Creek Golf Club men's and women's tournaments are holding on to their crowns.
Eric Leigh and Janet Jones were repeat winners of the recent men's and women's tournaments.
The men's tournament, which ran Aug. 10 and 11, saw 29 golfers participate, while the women's tournament, on Aug. 11, had eight golfers in the field.
Leigh had a low gross score of 68. His net score was 70.
"Everyone played really well," says Leigh of the tournament, adding he had "an unbelievable round" of 68, six under par, put him ahead.
This marks Leigh's top outing at the Pincher Creek Golf Club to date.
His place in the field was elevated by a surge of strong shots, highlighted by a string of four straight birdies.
Overall, Leigh credits his approach shots, with which he had success in reaching the green, setting him up for make-able putts.
"I'm a firm believer in defending your title, so I'll be back next year," Leigh says.
Jones paced the women's tournament with a gross score of 95. She notched a net score of 67.
"I never shot that well in my life," says Jones. "I was with a good group of people, the weather kept getting better and better — and when you're with some people, it's just easy to relax and play well."
She says both her "short game and long game came together" during the tournament.
Jones says she'll also be back to defend her title, adding next year there's hope that the women's tournament will run over two days.
This year, the low net score in the men's tournament went to Justin Toney, and in the women's tournament Shannon Mitchell led the way.

Dark green leaves with white margins. This variegated cultivar is a strong grower with upright branches and even spines.
Dark green leaves with white margins. This variegated cultivar is a strong grower with upright branches and even spines. It makes an outdanding vertical spreading specimen.
We ship a robust, sun-grown plant, cultivated in a 16-20 cm pot, of variable height of 40-70 cm. This is a fast growing species and it is produced once or twice a year so the specimens can be 40-120 cm tall. We will always try to select a compact robust plant for you. In most cases we will prune the plant before shipping. This is because some plants are too tall to fit in the box and also because the upper branches are too tender, so pruning will be helpful during the transit. It will surely grow back soon because it is a fast growing plant, commonly pruned in gardens. Depending on the season, this plant can be sent bare-rooted, with the roots wrapped in moist sphagnum or perlite. Be prepared toplant it in a pot of at least 18 cm, filled with good garden soil and place it in full sun, at 16-30 C. We ship worldwide.

Iconic Yale Club on Vancouver's Granville Street Set to Reopen … as a Saloon
by Remy Scalza in Uncategorized on September 16, 2015

The historic Yale club on Vancouver's Granville Street is back, with a Wild West twist.
The iconic blues joint, which operated for more than 30 years before closing its doors in 2011, is set to reopen as a saloon this fall. The big neon saxophone sign will still be out front, and there will still be some live blues music, but pretty much everything else has changed.
For starters, the building itself was been completely renovated. Originally built in 1889 as a bunkhouse for Canadian Pacific Railway workers, the structure was long overdue for an overhaul. In place of the low ceilings, ancient carpet, time-worn tables and dark, dank (but not uncharming) interior that characterized the old Yale, music fans will now find an open, airy space themed like a country barbecue.
String lights are hung for an outdoorsy vibe, and cow-print carpets are spread on the floors. Fitting the theme, there's even a mechanical bull, which takes centre stage every Thursday night for patrons looking to get back in the saddle.
The Yale Hotel circa 1944
Live music will remain a mainstay of the Yale, but the lineup has been remixed. While there will still be blues, jazz and karaoke will also be featured throughout the week. On weekends, sets will feature a mix of classic rock and country (yes, country) music, complementing the down-home feel. In a nod to the Yale of old, designers left lots of open floor space, perfect for dancers looking to let their hair down and kick up their cowboy boots.
The menu was certainly never a strong point of the original Yale (if there was one at all). In the Yale's new incarnation, the focus is on authentic Southern barbecue. The saloon will feature one of the largest in-house industrial smokers in the city and specialize in slow-cooked meats, prepared with homemade rubs and vinegar-based sauces. The restaurant will even be open early for country-style brunch on weekends. (A lot of this seems vaguely reminiscent of the now defunct Fan Club on Granville Street, which was operated by the Yale's original owners.)
The pre-reno Yale Hotel sign
This time around, the Yale is being run by the same company that manages downtown's Vogue Theatre and the Biltmore Cabaret, two Vancouver institutions that have stood the test of time with great music, a nod to local heritage and an authentic feel. Here's hoping that the new-and-improved Yale can recapture some of the same energy of its musty-old namesake. The exact opening date this fall will be announced on Facebook.

Philadelphia Phillies Series Preview: June 12 to 13
In Series Preview
After an unusual Friday off, the Yankees return to action for a brief two-game set against the Phillies down the I-95 corridor. We get to see some old friends in manager Joe Girardi and shortstop Didi Gregorius over the next two days, which always brings back some fond memories. Let's catch up with the team from the City of Brotherly Love.
Their story so far
The second-place Phillies are 30-31, four games behind the first place Mets (31-24) and five games out of a Wild Card spot. It's been a bit of a roller coaster for Girardi's club in the first two months and change of the season. The Phils have hovered between four games over .500 (April 7th) and four games under .500 (June 4th) all season. And yet, they also spent 24 days in first place, though not since May 8th. The NL East is a strange, strange place.
Philly's offense has not been good. They've scored 4.2 runs per game (league average is 4.4) and have a 92 wRC+ (20th out of 30). Bryce Harper (135 wRC+) has played in just 43 of the team's 61 games, which is part of the issue. Also not helping: Didi Gregorius (69 wRC+) and Alec Bohm (58 wRC+) have had very disappointing seasons. This lineup has plenty talent, with others like J.T. Realmuto (146 wRC+), Jean Segura (129 wRC+), and Rhys Hoskins (113 wRC+) contributing, but they've had a hard time putting it all together.
Meanwhile, the team's pitching and defense has been OK at 4.41 runs allowed per game. There's a big difference between the starting rotation and bullpen, however. Philadelphia's starters own a 3.97 ERA and 3.80 FIP, whereas the team's seemingly always awful bullpen has a 4.47 ERA (10th-worst) and 4.58 FIP (5th-worst). To make matters worse, the Phillies' bullpen has a -2.15 Win Probability Added, fifth-worst in MLB. Explains why Zack Wheeler is only 4-3 despite a 2.29 ERA in 13 starts. He's been one of the majors best starters in fact, though the Yankees will miss him this weekend.
In spite of the franchise's up-and-down campaign, the Phillies have played a little better of late. They're 5-2 in June, including back-to-back walk-off wins against Atlanta coming into this series with the Yankees. Of course, the most recent game featured closer Hector Neris blowing a victory for Wheeler and then José Alvarado giving up two runs in the top of the tenth, only for the offense to plate three in the bottom half and win. It just can't be easy for these Phils, it seems.
Estimated Return
Chase Anderson RHP Undisclosed COVID-19 IL Next week
Matt Moore LHP Lower back spasms 10-day IL This weekend
Didi Gregorius SS Elbow Impingement 10-day IL This weekend
Brandon Kintzler RHP Strained neck 10-day IL Next week
Roman Quinn OF Ruptured achilles tendon 60-day IL 2022
JoJo Romero LHP Tommy John surgery 60-day IL 2022
Seranthony Dominguez RHP Tommy John surgery 60-day IL September
Spotlight: Didi Gregorius
It's been a month since the ex-Yankee has played due to an elbow impingement. Didi got off to a hot start, but cooled off substantially before hitting the injured list. Gregorius began the season with an 11-game hitting streak before he failed to record a knock in a pinch-hitting appearance on April 14th. Tough way to lose the streak, especially because he recorded hits in each of his next two games. In any case, Gregorius owned a .320/.345/.460 (114 wRC+) with a couple homers in his first 55 plate appearances of the season. But from then until May 12th, Gregorius batted .162/.205/.294 (36 wRC+) before he was put on the shelf.
Part of the reason he struggled was undoubtedly due to some elbow swelling he suffered early last month. The same elbow he had Tommy John surgery on while with the Yankees, as you surely recall. However, this was totally unrelated to his UCL fortunately. He had a difficult time swinging the bat without experiencing pain, so the Phillies had little choice but to sideline their starting shortstop.
Before the injury diagnosis, some may have wondered if Didi was finally regressing. After all, he's never been a Statcast darling, consistently outperforming his expected stats (i.e. xwOBA) since he broke out with the Yankees. From 2016 through 2020, Gregorius had a .330 wOBA and 106 wRC+ in spite of xwOBAs ranging from .268 to .315 annually. Considering that this spans more than 2,000 plate appearances, I think it's safe to overlook his poor exit velocities, no? All players decline at some point, but I'm not ready to write off Didi yet. His 2021 swoon looks far more like a result of his elbow rather than his skillset.
So, will we see him this series? Sure looks like it. Gregorius began a rehab assignment with Lehigh Valley a coupe days ago and went 3-for-3 with a homer on Thursday. I expect to see him in tonight's lineup, though there's no official word yet.
Projected Lineup
Here's Roster Resource's projected lineup:
Odúbel Herrera, CF (.275/.344/.442, 117 wRC+) — Phillies are giving him a second chance after he was arrested for assaulting his girlfriend in Atlantic City in 2019. Since charges were dropped, he says he has been going to counseling with his girlfriend, for what that's worth.
Jean Segura, 2B (.323/.377/.455, 129 wRC+) — This has been his best offensive season since 2016 (126 wRC+).
Bryce Harper, RF (.261/.386/.471, 135 wRC+) — Missed some time with a wrist contusion.
Rhys Hoskins, 1B (.248/.315/.465, 113 wRC+) — Only walking at a 7.9 percent rate after entering season with career 15.3 percent mark.
J.T. Realmuto, C (.291/.404/.489, 146 wRC+) — Great way to start his $115.5 million contract.
Andrew McCutchen, LF (.216/.328/.412, 105 wRC+) — Turned things around after starting season with a .169/.301/.247 (63 wRC+) in April.
Alec Bohm, 3B (.220/.263/.308, 58 wRC+) — Sophomore slump after batting .338/.400/.481 (139 wRC+) last year.
Ronald Torreyes, SS (.293/.317/.414, 101 wRC+) — Toe has done a nice job keeping the spot warm for Didi Gregorius, who could return this weekend. I presume Didi will be in this spot and the lineup will be re-shuffled.
Andrew Knapp, C (.167/.228/.214, 26 wRC+) — Realmuto's backup has been pretty bad.
Rafael Marchan, C (.231/.286/.308, 67 wRC+) — Called up when Anderson went on COVID-19 IL, will probably go back down this weekend.
Brad Miller, UTIL (.277/.344/.471, 122 wRC+) — He's carved out a pretty good career as a role player/left-handed bat.
Luke Williams, UTIL (.444/.444/.889, 261 wRC+) — Just 9 plate appearances, hit a walk-off homer on Wednesday.
Matt Joyce, OF (.106/.271/.255, 47 wRC+) — Awful. Could be headed for DFA.
Travis Jankowski, OF (.500/.500/.500, 182 wRC+) — Just 6 plate appearances.
Pitching Matchups
Today, 4:05pm eastern:
RHP Jameson Taillon
We're still waiting for Taillon to put things together. This will be his 12th start, with the righty entering it owning a 5.09 ERA and 4.43 FIP. He's been great the first time against opposing lineups (2.88 ERA), bad a second time (5.70 ERA), and even worse with a third look (14.54). Sounds ripe for a relief role, but the Yankees will remain patient with a project in Taillon. (Stats vs. Phillies)
RHP Vince Velasquez
The Phillies can't seem to settle on what they want to do with Velazquez. He's been juggled between the rotation and bullpen over the past few years, though he's mostly started for Philadelphia. He had a nice run in the rotation from April 23 to May 25 (2.20 ERA in 32.2 innings, with 1.1 of those frames in relief). However, he's allowed 9 runs in his last two outings. (Stats vs. Yankees)
Velasquez.
Tomorrow, 1:05pm eastern:
RHP Domingo Germán
As long as Germán limits his homers to solo shots (9 of his 12 homers have been allowed with the bases empty), he should be effective tomorrow. That's always his story, of course. He's also been much better on the road this season (2.10 ERA vs. 4.11 in the Bronx). (Stats vs. Phillies)
RHP Aaron Nola
Nola started the season on a tear, but has been in a little bit of a rut in his last six starts. He had a 2.89 ERA and 2.48 FIP through his first start in May, but has a 5.68 ERA and 4.79 FIP ever since. Homers have been a problem: 7 a allowed in his last 31.2 innings. (Stats vs. Yankees)
Nola.
Bullpen Status
Friday (OFF)

Zero desire for game recap of yesterday. Can't blame them.
Welcome back Britton, goodbye Mike Ford. I suspect he might clear waivers, but I suppose some team with a loss at the moment at 1B might give him a look-see.
The Phils seem to be a lot like the Yankees, except for the bullpen.

Cut triangles (or have your child do it, M cut these ones) of green paper and then let them stick them onto the cardboard cards and then embellish with different sized, shaped and coloured sequins.
Picking up those slippery little sequins is great practice for their Fine Motor Skills and choosing and placing their sequins is great to develop their creativity and to talk about Colours, Shapes and Sizes.
They were incredibly simple yet came up looking great. I loved the different colours and designs she chose.
- Simplify this activity by pre folding/cutting the cardboard cards and green triangles. Provide together with the sequins and allow your child to paste and place them. Encourage them to think about who each card might be for first so that they can consider and choose colours and designs with the person in mind.
- Extend this activity by having your child work on the folding and cutting of the cards and triangle trees themselves. Add extra craft materials that they can get creative with.
- Add numeracy skills by challenging your child to use a different amount of sequins on each design. This will encourage counting and concepts of more and less.

Should Tommy Tanzer be the next Park City School Board member? In many ways yes.
In what had to be one of the wildest school board meetings in recent memory, Park City resident Tommy Tanzer interviewed for the open Park City School Board seat. While the board tried to ask a list of questions, Mr Tanzer wouldn't have any of it (for a while).
Mr Tanzer began by asking if they could follow Costanza rules for the interview — referring to an episode of Seinfeld where George Constanza said he couldn't say anything wrong as long as he wasn't told that it was wrong ahead of time. We're not sure that episode actually exists… but because Tommy was so authentic, we'll give him the benefit of the doubt.
He then continued by telling the interviewers they were wasting his time. He called a variety of things going on in the district "bullshit." He said if the right person wasn't elected he was going to the press with information. Of course, we don't know exactly what that information is but again it was entertaining.
When asked about appropriate levels of spending, Mr Tanzer said it won't be hard to ask the public for money, if they trust the board, because "they piss that much away at lunch."
Finally he concluded that the board wasn't interviewing of him; he was interviewing the board.
Honestly, it was the most fun I've had watching a local government meeting in a long time (if ever). I kept asking myself… "Is this happening?"
The truth about Mr. Tanzer's interview is that he will never be picked to be on the school board… and he probably shouldn't be picked. He even said so during the interview.
However, in every joke there is a little bit of truth. In the case of Tommy, there was a lot of truth.
So, we'd encourage you to take 25 minutes of your time and watch the interview of Tommy Tanzer… the guy who won't be a Park City School Board Member but in many ways should be.
One of the problems the Park City School District has had is authenticity. You can bring up many issues with Mr Tanzer's presentation… but authenticity isn't one.
You want someone who had negotiated "the best raise for teachers ever" and won't hold a punch? Call your school board representative and tell them you want Tommy.
Here is the video:
Dana Williams says:
That was amazing, having known him for decades I am sure his heart is in the right place. He would add such color!!
Molly Miller says:
We all had to pick our jaws up off the floor a few times. His heart was DEFINITELY in the right place! 🙂
Parkrag says:
No doubt. His heart is in the right place. I don't doubt his sincerity for one minute.
He is the square peg in the round hole…
We wish there were more Square pegs.
Resident says:
his heart might be in the right place but its strange that he is defaming someone he doesn't even know. He has a conspiracy theory that is not accurate. He is a bully.
Tommy was genuine. Hard to follow at times, but genuine. He laid it all on the table. This guy would add more human and less politics to a Board that is supposed to be more human. For him it would not be about pushing an outdated and incomplete set of information out to the public 'to educate the community better.' He would represent the people and allow an open exchange of information to improve the district for everyone. New Board members are bringing it to the old. Tommy would be an honest addition, especially after what happened with Phil's situation and resignation.
My says:
What happened to Phil? Just by looking at the seating arrangement in the videos of interviews and the body language of the board members you can totally tell where the divisions are. It's so obvious. Not impressed. So much clear dysfunction. No wonder Phil left. The one guy is a jerk.
Long_time_citizen says:
It is very clear to me that Tommy is speaking about James Meyer. Based on this interview and the comments made by Tommy Tanzer, I do not beleive that he has ever met or conversated with James Meyer. James has coached my son in lacrosse for many many years and I have never had a bad interaction with him. This season (2017) he served as both head coach of a phenomenal team as well as a board member for said team. He did an incredible job with my son and many others while forming a powerful sense of comraderie. James would have been a successful and honest addition to the school board. This article talks about authenticity which I believe is absurd because most of the time he doesn't even know what is coming out of his mouth. Tommy's vulgarity and crazed obsession with belittlement reminds me of another man who recently ran for office, our president. This man is not authentic, he is a blabbering bully.
I'm not sure I got that impression. It seemed Mr. Tanzer was advocating for someone and not against anyone. I don't recall him saying anything like, "If he get's the position, I'm going to raise hell." I thought it was more the inverse where he was pushing for a candidate. Maybe I missed it or got swept up in the spectacle.
All that said, I don't know any of the candidates personally and thought both Mr Meyer or Ms Peters would do a good job.
That said, Mr Meyer shot himself in the foot. When he told the board that they were a divided group and struggled with details, it didn't appear to sit well with some board members. When he talked about the past bond failure and the likelihood that the next one would fail, but then said he would vote for the upcoming bond … it felt forced (at best). With his experience, I'd guess he would have been a great board member, but he just didn't have a good day interviewing.
Tommy excplicitly says that "if the wrong person is chosen, he will go to the press with information"
Yeah, I took that to mean that that he was advocating for a specific person… another way of saying something like "If Joe isn't chosen….I'll"
That said, you could be right.
I just didn't take it as an attack on anyone (Ms. Peters or Mr Meyer). I could be wrong.
It just seemed like a very negative attack on somebody who coaches kids all year as well as having a profession based upon helping teens in need. I have no doubt that Anne will be a wonderful addition to the school board and she may have been the best option available. It just seems unecessary that these comments were ever made about a man that would have done a good job. I certainly hope the mayoral election does not become this cuthroat.
I disagree. I think he is talking about Julie Eihausen. She is an offensive and closed-minded radical leftist. One glance at her FB page tells all. SHE MUST GO. You simply cannot have someone so partisan in a non-partisan position. She hides her disdain for those who don't agree from no one.

Once upon a time, there was a wistful young woman who, like any other girls, wanted to be rescued from the "castle of loneliness" by a daring handsome prince… and so she waited like forever in her own Cinderella world… the four corners of the bedroom being her own cozy fireplace where she'd spend the wee hours of the night dreaming of the day her prince would come. Finally, he came… a prince from another kingdom, or should I say from another country not faraway, whose culture and lifestyle are entirely different from hers. From being the dreamy young woman that she was, she has become the queen of the household and a novice in a foreign land.
This is the tale of an ordinary Filipina named Chris and an ordinary Korean called Khan who met a couple of years ago, became friends, fell in love, parted ways, were brought back together by fate, got married (Thrice!), and are now living the day to day adventures of being a Filipina wife to a Korean husband and being a Korean husband to a Filipina wife.

The 10 things in advertising you need to know today
Lara O'Reilly
Oct. 14, 2016, 5:05 AM
Brian Gleason, CEO of Xaxis.
Good morning. Here's everything you need to know in the world of advertising today.
1. YouGov BrandIndex shows consumer perception of the entire Samsung brand has tumbled over its exploding phones saga. The brand's "recommend" and "purchase consideration" scores have both declined statistically significantly since explode-gate began.
2. Discovery Communications is making a $100 million investment in an entity called "Group Nine Media," a new holding company that ties together media brands Thrillist, NowThis, The Dodo, and Seeker (Discovery's digital network).Ben Lerer, Thrillist's CEO, will be the CEO of Group Nine.
3. Xaxis, WPP's programmatic advertising division, has acquired Triad Digital Media in a deal worth $300 million, according to The Wall Street Journal. Triad helps retailers including Walmart, eBay, Asda, Toys "R" Us, CVS, Sam's Club, Staples, and Kohl's sell ads on their websites.
4. mParticle, a data company that has investment from rapper Nas, just raised another $17.5 million. The funding round was led by Bain Capital Ventures and brings the company's total funding to $37 million.
5. Verizon might be trying to back out of the Yahoo deal over the latter company's handling of its huge hack. "I think we have a reasonable basis to believe right now that the impact is material and we're looking to Yahoo to demonstrate to us the full impact," Verizon's lawyer Craig Silliman said in a statement to reporters. "If they believe that it's not then they'll need to show us that."
6. Someone has found evidence that appears to vindicate Apple in its public fight with a programmer. The saga surrounding the reason why Dash was really booted from the App Store rolls on.
7. Google plans to show different results to desktop and mobile users. Google plans to keep its mobile website index more up to date than the desktop index, which means mobile users will get the best results faster than desktop users.
8. Google is pushing its new phones with a pop-up ad on the main Google search page. Google really wants you to order a Pixel.
9. BuzzFeed is going to live stream election night coverage on Twitter, The Wall Street Journal reports. "As the vortex tightens around the election, Twitter is the heart of this giant American conversation," said Ben Smith, editor in chief at BuzzFeed.
10. Snapchat revealed some new data on its UK users, Digiday reports. Of its 10 million UK users, 77% are over 18-years-old and 43% are parents..

Posted 19th of June 2019
Qatar Airways is thrilled to have won four prestigious prizes at this year's 2019 Skytrax World Airline Awards, including the highest accolade of 'World's Best Airline' – becoming the only airline in the competition's history to win it five times (2011, 2012, 2015, 2017 and 2019).
The airline has been named 'Best Airline in the Middle East' for a third successive year, while its 'World's Best Business Class' accolade is the fourth year in succession that it has won that award. In retaining its 'World's Best Business Class Seat' award for its patented Qsuite product, the airline beat strong competition from all over the world.
Minister of Transport and Communications, His Excellency Mr. Jassim Saif Ahmed Al-Sulaiti, who attended the Skytrax Awards ceremony, said: "This is a great day for the state of Qatar, and I am delighted to have been here today to witness Qatar Airways being recognised as the 'Best Airline of the Year' for the fifth time".
Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive, His Excellency Mr. Akbar Al Baker, - who was accompanied by Chief Operating Officer of Hamad International Airport, Engr. Badr Al Meer, - said: "The Skytrax awards are widely recognised as the most prestigious in the airline industry, so to have won so many prizes at the 2019 ceremony is a truly memorable experience for Qatar Airways.
"We are thrilled to be globally recognised by our customers by winning these four prestigious awards. Being the first airline to be named 'Airline of the Year' for the fifth time is a landmark achievement and, combined with three other major Skytrax awards, is testament to the tireless efforts of the entire Qatar Airways team. It is a proud moment for the airline as our constant innovation and service standards set the benchmark in our industry."
"The fact that the Skytrax awards are voted for by travellers makes them especially meaningful for all of us in the industry. Aviation is a competitive business, and to have received such recognition will spur us all at Qatar Airways to even greater heights and we look forward to delivering our world-class product to millions of passengers in the coming years."
Commenting on the awards, Skytrax Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Edward Plaisted, said: "To be named as the World's Best Airline is a great recognition of Qatar Airways' high standards, and recognises the hard work and dedication from every member of staff to satisfy customers. To achieve this accolade for a fifth time is a remarkable achievement, and we congratulate them for this unique success."
The Skytrax World Airline Awards are independent and impartial, introduced in 1999 to provide a customer satisfaction study that was truly global. Travellers across the world vote in the largest airline passenger satisfaction survey to decide the award winners. The awards are referred to by media around the world as "the Oscars of the aviation industry".
Skytrax pay all costs of the Survey and Awards event, and airlines do not pay any entry or registration fee. The awards event and award presentations are supplied by Skytrax at no charge. There are no fees or costs for airline use of the award logos and results. More than 100 customer nationalities participated in the survey with 21.65 million eligible entries counted in the results. Survey entries were screened by Skytrax to identify IP and user information, with duplicate, suspect or ineligible entries deleted. More than 300 airlines are featured.
Qsuite, a patented Qatar Airways product, offers a First Class experience in the Business Class cabin. Qsuite features the industry's first-ever double bed in Business Class, as well as privacy panels that stow away, allowing passengers in adjoining seats to create their own private room, a first of its kind in the industry. Qatar Airways proudly launched Qsuite at ITB Berlin in March 2017 to outstanding global acclaim, and has set a new standard for luxury travel with this innovative product. These awards demonstrate the quality of Qatar Airways' unrivalled level of service, and prove that the airline continues to win the confidence of the travelling public.
Qatar Airways currently operates a modern fleet of more than 250 aircraft via its hub, Hamad International Airport (HIA) to more than 160 destinations worldwide. The airline will add a number of new destinations to its extensive route network in 2019, including Davao, Philippines; Lisbon, Portugal; Mogadishu, Somalia and Langkawi, Malaysia.

COVID-19 UPDATES: Ontario declares state of emergency - January 12, 2021

Bakers Journal This Week
TOUGH trans-ition for pastries
By ClÍona M. Reeves
In July, Health Canada and the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Ontario
criticized the baking industry for the levels of trans fats in its
products, suggesting some parts of the industry aren't doing enough
work to reduce or remove the fat from the goods they make.
The industry comes under fire for continued levels of trans fats in its products
Bakeries, especially smaller ones, seem to be less aware of the health implications of trans fats.
In July, Health Canada and the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Ontario criticized the baking industry for the levels of trans fats in its products, suggesting some parts of the industry aren't doing enough work to reduce or remove the fat from the goods they make.
The federal government accepted recommendations from Health Canada's Trans Fat Task Force in June 2007, asking the industry to reduce trans fat levels to five per cent of the total fat content in food products and five per cent in vegetable oils and margarines. It gave manufacturers and producers two years to comply with the voluntary guidelines, at which point the question of whether to make the guidelines into regulations would be addressed.
Trans fatty acids, or trans fats as they are more popularly known, are produced during a process called hydrogenation. Oils (which are liquid at room temperature) and certain fats which have a low melting point are subjected to hydrogenation in order to make them more stable, meaning that they develop a higher melting point (and so are solid at room temperature) and a longer shelf life. For a long time in the food industry, this has been an important function and has made it possible to produce food products which are easier to manufacture than with less stable oils, more appealing in flavour to customers, and shelf-stable for longer periods. Curiously, partial hydrogenation produces the highest levels of trans fats, where in fuller hydrogenation, the levels of trans fats fall.
For a long time, trans fats, which not only had functional advantages, were thought to be a great alternative to animal fats, whose artery-clogging saturated fats were linked to heart disease. The irony was that while saturated fats do raise the levels of "bad" cholesterol (low-density lipoprotein, or LDL) in the bloodstream, trans fats are worse. They not only raise LDL, at the same time they lower levels of "good" high-density lipoprotein (HDL) – a double health whammy.
Hence the concern Health Canada has in reducing Canadian consumers' exposure to trans fats. Some food manufacturers have already made significant steps to reduce or eliminate trans fats in their baked goods. One of the quickest was Voortman Cookies Limited, of Burlington, Ont., which reformulated its entire line of cookies. As of April 2004, Voortman's entire line became trans fat-free.
But the switch to trans fat-free is not just a matter of substituting one ingredient for another. Paul Hetherington, president of the Baking Association of Canada, explains some of the frustration in the industry regarding the move away from trans fats.
"In the 1960s and '70s, the industry was actively encouraged to move away from animal fats and switch to partially hydrogenated vegetable fats, which were lower in saturated fats. Twenty years on, issues arise with trans fat, but we don't yet have suitable alternatives, especially for the functionality in laminated products, such as croissants and puff pastry. Now, the industry is being told to go back to the animal fats they had been criticized for using. Going back to animal fats would mean returning to high saturated fat levels, altered flavours and problems for vegetarians. That being said, the industry has been working hard on reformulations and, so far, has done well. There is more work to be done, and it will take time, innovative thinking and understanding from consumers and groups like the Heart and Stroke Foundation that this is not something which can be magically fixed overnight."
Coffee Time executive vice-president Dan Lepidas is concerned about the inclusion of some of Coffee Time's and Robin's Donuts' products on the Heart and Stroke Foundation's list of trans fat transgressors.
"We're very concerned, not just about trans fats, but about fats in general," Lepidas says. "We're not a primary manufacturer of the mixes we use to make our products. While some of the mixes are proprietary to us, it's the suppliers who do the formulations and source the ingredients. We've asked our suppliers to remove the trans fats from their formulations, and they're responding very quickly. It's not easy, because all fats, including trans fats, perform unique functions, and reformulating to achieve a similar result is a challenge. In some cases, suppliers are even discontinuing certain products which simply cannot be successfully reformulated with other ingredients. We're also concerned that the government, in setting these targets and deadlines, has put the onus entirely on the food service industry, and not on the supply side. Applying the regulations to both sides would be fairer. Nonetheless, we are committed to removing trans fats. Our objective is to have all Coffee Time and Robin's Donuts products free of trans fats by the end of 2008."
Bakeries appear to be having a more challenging time dealing with trans fats, according to Miranda Abolfazli, a graduate student at the University of British Columbia working with the B.C. Ministry of Agriculture. Her study of small and medium-sized bakeries in B.C. shows there are some gaps in understanding between scientists and bakers.
"Generally, the smaller the bakeries, the less likely they were to be aware of trans fats and their health implications," Abolfazli says. "The medium-sized ones tend to be more aware, and have more resources and people to deal with the cost, time and work needed to develop reformulated products. There are exceptions among the smaller ones, like Red Square Bakery, in Burnaby, B.C., where they have worked hard to remove trans fats. Unfortunately, unless a product contains less than two grams each of trans and saturated fat per serving, you can't put a 'trans fat-free' claim on your product, so there's little business incentive for bakeries to divert attention from their day-to-day work. Many are understandably reluctant to overhaul their entire business in response to a scientific discovery which may be discredited next year. This does not bode well for the proposed ban on trans fats in B.C. by 2010."
The solution, she says, begins with building bridges.
"There needs to be clearer communication with bakeries, especially those that are not members of the Baking Association," Abolfazli explains. "Educational seminars or other programs are needed to help bakers see that getting rid of trans fats is not just a trend. At the same time, before any ban is proposed, government and scientists need to reach out to bakers and understand the business implications of such a huge change." / BJ

I know very few adults who really like the Holidays because it's a time that is frequently fraught with family and cultural pressures that are not at all cheerful or of our choosing. But it's about to be January, the month when we get to clean our slates and start a fresh new year and it seems, a fresh new life. I love January. I've never made New Years resolutions, I just quietly start January early, cleaning out my nest; dreaming of plans; nothing drastic, as slow and steady does it. Life suddenly seems adventurous again, even mysterious; maybe even magic.
The story behind the Perrier bottle: One year, Tall Husband and I planned an escape from Christmas (I hope none of you has a relative who uses a holiday as an excuse to take over your life.) We fled to Paris. Christmas Eve was spent at Au Pied de Cochon, a wonderful restaurant that was a short stroll from our hotel. Every table that evening had a festive anniversary bottle of Perrier. We have kept our bottle because it reminds us of the most wonderful Christmas Eve we could remember in a while. That bottle gave us the good sense just to say "no" the next year when our relative called with her holiday marching orders.
First off I agree completely with your attitude towards January and the holidays as you get older. I snicker every time I remember a dinner that I had at Au Pied de Cochon!My dad and step mom were visiting us when we first moved to Paris back in 2002. They made reservations there for dinner,and we met up with some friends of theirs that they had met while they had lived in France some time ago. The couple was from England and very comical. The dinner was kind of a train wreck that night,which I'm sure was just a fluke,but none the less one to go down in history for me. We sat at the table for what seemed like an eternity, before we finally asked the waiter what was up with our dinner. He said he would go and find out. We were sitting up stairs.....All of a sudden we here the most horrific sound of someone falling down stairs and dinner plates crashing to the floor! Those were our plates!! So, while we waited for another hour for dinner, we teased the waiter,who was a typical French waiter, and he finally gave up trying to be reserved, and went along with the comedy that was our dinner experience. After dinner, we ordered dessert,and the waiter said, My recommendation would be to not order anything having to do with flambe! The desserts come out, we begin to eat,and the husband of the couple, looks down to see a bone, that most likely came from a small piece of poultry, lying on the rim of the dessert plate!!! We just could not believe it.How the wait staff or the kitchen did not catch that still is a mystery!
That was our experience at Au Pied de Couchon!
OMG! What a great story; bad dining experience but great story.
Happy New Year, Elizabeth and family!
Happy 2009. We escaped this year,too, and just got back from Hawaii. It was odd to spend Christmas without relatives--but in a good way.
did you do that? very creative indeed! it's like my antique silver.

A now-bankrupt company that received a major federal stimulus grant to build a "clean coal" power plant in West Texas spent millions of taxpayer dollars on alcohol, lobbying, spa services and other questionable — or clearly unauthorized — expenses.
The coal-fired carbon-capture power plant — slated for a 600-acre plot near Odessa — was never built. It was championed by former Dallas Mayor Laura Miller, who went to work for Summit after leaving office in 2007. She left the company in mid-2016 after the Energy Department froze grant funding as the project struggled to get off the ground; it was nearly $2 billion over budget, years behind schedule and unable to find financing.
The Energy Department spent about $116 million on the project before pulling the plug.
The audit released Tuesday found that the Office of Fossil Energy reimbursed Summit for more than $38 million in expenditures without requiring or reviewing documentation to show the charges were allowable and necessary for the project.
In a statement Tuesday that highlighted the company's seven-year relationship with the Energy Department, Summit said it disagreed with the report's findings and noted that independent audits never found any issues.
Miller, the former Dallas mayor, did not immediately respond to a message seeking comment.
Her support of the project was seen as an extension of one of her major initiatives in Dallas, where in the mid-2000s she spearheaded a successful statewide campaign against a power conglomerate's plans to build 11 coal-fired power plants that then-Texas Gov. Rick Perry had championed.
In 2005, Perry issued an executive order to help rapidly approve permits for the facilities — a move environmentalists and watchdog groups decried as a backroom deal to help political donors. TXU Energy, now known as Energy Future Holdings, ultimately scrapped plans for eight of the carbon dioxide-spewing plants.
Energy Future Holdings has been a financial supporter of The Texas Tribune, a nonprofit, nonpartisan news organization that is funded in part by donations from members, foundations and corporate sponsors. Financial supporters play no role in the Tribune's journalism. Find a complete list of them here.

Jinger Duggar Reveals Secret Eating Disorder: I Felt Like I Was Never Good Enough
Kendra Caldwell: Joseph Duggar's Wife Is Pregnant With Baby #4!
By Author Tyler Johnson at Mar 29, 2022 • Category Joseph Duggar
It was an eventful weekend in Duggar Land.
Not only did Jeremiah Duggar and Hannah Wissmann get married, but fans learned that there's another little Duggar on the way!
Yes, it looks as though Joseph Duggar and wife Kendra Caldwell are expecting their fourth child!
There was a time, of course, when the couple would have gleefully shared this news with fans, but the entire Duggar family is keeping a much lower profile.
Sure, there's no direct connection between Josh Duggar being convicted on child pornography charges and Kendra getting pregnant again, but it's not hard to see why the entire Counting On clan is much more secretive these days than they were pre-scandal.
(Or perhaps we should say "prior to this most recent scandal." The Duggars have always been scandalous!)
So it's no surprise that Joe and Kendra would attempt to keep this one on the down-low.
Of course, it's also not surprising that eagle-eyed fans would spot the signs of an occupied uterus and call them out.
Video clips from Jeremiah and Hannah's wedding made their way to the always-amusing r/DuggarSnark subreddit.
"A very pregnant Kendra no one is shooketh," one commenter observed based on a portion of the video in which a seemingly pregnant Kendra is seen circulating among the guests.
There were some congratulatory remarks, but most commenters pointed out that Joe and Kendra seem to be compulsively attempting to out-breed the other Duggars.
"This poor girl is going to have 4 kids under 4 before she is even 24," one person wrote, according to UK tabloid The Sun.
"Joken's 5th wedding anniversary is this year and by then Kendra will have spent 3 out of those 5 years pregnant… 60%," another added.
"How old is their youngest? I thought they were just coming up on a year, but Kendra looks at least 6 months pregnant here," a third chimed in.
It's not uncommon, of course, for Duggar women to birth numerous children in rapid succession.
But as several redditors noted, just because it's expected, that doesn't mean that it's not potentially harmful.
"That would mean the spacing is even shorter than usual and that doesn't bode well for the future," one commenter observed
"Oh god she doesn't even turn 24 until mid August, she will definitely have 4 kids under 3 at 23!!!" another echoed.
Joseph and Kendra got married just weeks after her 19th birthday, and they wasted no time in getting down to the business of starting a family.
There were rumors that Kendra got pregnant before the wedding, but the Duggars insist that the couple waited until their honeymoon.
Whatever the case, Joe and Kendra are well on their way to shattering Jim Bob and Michelle's record for most humans created by a single marriage.
Of course, they should probably bear in mind that they might have a much more difficult time feeding so many mouths.

After all, the Duggar media empire has officially come to an end, and like the rest of his siblings, Joe has very little real world job experience.
It's anyone's guess how he supports his family these days.
But knowing how tight-fisted Jim Bob is, you can be sure Joe and Kenny aren't receiving any handouts!

Q: What is the size of template class in c++? The output of the below code is 16. Why so? even without initializing with the length of array of the class the size is 16 and with initializing the length with the 2nd constructor, it is the same size i.e. 16. Any explanation?
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
template <class T>
class array1{
T * arr;
int l;
public:
array1(){
arr = 0; l=0;
}
array1(int x){
l = x;
arr = new T[l];
}
~array1(){
delete[] arr;
}
void display(){
cout << "array1 is :"<<endl;
for (int i=0; i<l; i++)
cout << arr[i] << " ";
cout << endl;
}
};
int main()
{
array1<int> a1;
cout << "size of int arr is " << sizeof(a1);
return 0;
}
A: It is because of Data Structure alignment. In your system it is being aligned to 8 bytes word. Print the sizeof(T*) and sizeof(int) it will output 8 and 4 respectively in the constructor of array class. But when output together it takes 16 bytes.
A: It appears your integer and pointer types are both 8 bytes/64 bits. Also, just a heads up, sizeof is a compile-time operator, meaning that even if an object of your type allocates memory on the heap with the operator new[], sizeof will still return 16 bytes for any object of type array1.
Additionally, no matter what type you have for T, sizeof(array1<T>) will always be 16 bytes. (I am making the assumption that you are not compiling on an atypical target.)
A: Your class has two member variables. A pointer and an int. I suspect that both are eight bytes in size for your platform.
If so, then: 8 + 8 = 16.
(Your class has no virtual methods -- so no vtable overhead).

is a video game produced by Konami. It is the second game in the Ganbare Goemon series (sometimes known in English as Mystical Ninja) and the first to be released on a video game console and home computer. It was initially released for the Family Computer July 30, 1986 and later released for the MSX2 a year later. The Famicom version was re-released in Japan only for the Game Boy Advance under the Famicom Mini label and for the Wii, Nintendo 3DS and Wii U under the Virtual Console service. A direct sequel, Ganbare Goemon 2, was released for the Famicom on January 4, 1989.
Gameplay
The game revolves around the main character, Goemon, and his exploits. As the name suggests, his character was based on Ishikawa Goemon, the noble thief of Japanese folklore. Unlike its sequels, this game still doesn't feature the comic situation and strange characters that define the series, and Goemon is portrayed as a noble thief rather than a plain hero.
The game plays as a top view action/adventure game (similar to The Legend of Zelda) though it is separated by stages. In each level Goemon must find three passes in order to advance. Some of these passes are found in boxes, secret passages or can be bought. After finishing all the stages, the game will present the player with a new Japanese province (eight in total), but all the levels will remain the same. The ending, however, will be different.
Like the rest of the series, Goemon can be powered-up if certain items are found and/or bought, which can be lost after a few hits.
The MSX version has the option to be played in turns by two players, with the second player playing as a ninja named Nezumi Kozō, which is the basis of Goemon's sidekick Ebisumaru. In addition, unlike the Family Computer version, the game has six more provinces with completely new levels after finishing the game once.

Two out of three ain't good
The story of how an Australian-registered Boeing 757 lost two of its three hydraulic systems highlights how seemingly minor maintenance decisions can have major consequences in aviation.
On 5 February last year, the aircraft, a freighter bearing DHL colours, was climbing out of Auckland, New Zealand, on one of its regular runs across the Tasman Sea to Sydney. During the climb, the left main landing gear downlock actuator retract hose ruptured, resulting in the failure of the left hydraulic system. The investigation by the Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) was unable to find cause of the rupture.
The Boeing 757 uses a power transfer unit (PTU) that turns on automatically when the left system hydraulic pressure falls. The PTU's purpose is to enable the operation of flaps, slats, landing gear and nose wheel steering even if left pressure is low.
But on this occasion, corrosion inside the PTU's pressure switch meant that the PTU motor ran 'dry' without any load from the hydraulic fluid it was meant to pump. This promptly led to overheating and failure of the right hydraulic system.
The crew, faced with two hydraulic system alerts within minutes, declared pan-pan and returned to Auckland where the aircraft landed without incident. It had its remaining hydraulic system for flight control, back-up systems for extending the flaps and landing gear, and manual braking.
The pressure switch that failed was the subject of a 2010 non-mandatory service bulletin. Had this bulletin been implemented on the aircraft it 'would likely have prevented the failure of the right system', the ATSB found.
The aircraft's previous operators had responded to a 2001 service bulletin about the pressure switch, but a 2010 service letter recommending fitting improved pressure switches had not been followed. The Australian operator took over the aircraft in 2013 and checked to see that all mandatory service bulletins had been applied.
The ATSB found the non-mandatory 2010 service letter to modify the susceptible pressure switch had not been actioned, which probably resulted in the failure of the pressure switch due to contamination/corrosion.
The ATSB said, 'This occurrence highlights that although some service bulletins are not deemed to be safety critical, they can still have an impact on aircraft reliability. While operators are required to implement all airworthiness directives, the ATSB recommended that operators familiarise themselves with non-mandatory service bulletins and consider the potential impacts of delaying implementation.'
Hose failures, whether of fuel or hydraulic hoses, are a safety issue for both large commercial aircraft and small, general aviation aircraft, as Flight Safety Australia has pointed out from time to time.

Yet again: out of a clear blue sky
Aircraft were metres from disaster

How many Airliners fly everyday world wide? Zillions, the chances of this is very very low, it's acceptable!
ft May 4, 2019 at 2:31 pm
for a $500 switch, i'd think it was unacceptable.

Ok. Lets accept the fact the difference between a 3 figure switch versus 8 figure plane.

The end-user used the data entities Sales Invoice Headers and sales Invoice Lines to pull invoices.
However we have discovered that no return invoices showed up in Excel.
After investigation I found that both data entities use the view: CustSalesInvoiceNotCreditNotesView. This view pulls only invoices where the invoice amount is > -1.
I can create a new data entity that will not include this view to pull all debit and credit invoices but in the interim we need to get to those lines. Any suggestions? This is quite time sensitive so cannot wait for the new data entity and the whole process of first upgrading UAT and test and then have MSFT upgrade production.
To get the headers we were able to export invoice journal to excel but it doesn't include the line. We need the line info with the taxes if possible.
Can you refresh a non production environment with PRD data and pull it directly out of SQL from there? The obvious long term answer is to create your own data entity, but short term, this may be the easiest. Sales Order Headers V2 is the same way (doesn't include returns). We have done this workaround several times to get access to data that is outside the out of the box data entities until we can get our modifications built and promoted.
