I would like to volunteer for this as I am a network admin, are you still looking for help?
Yours Richard
Very much so
You'll have to be a member first though!
I'm not a network admin but it's something I'd love to learn more about so if you do end up working on this Richard, perhaps you could help me understand how network magic works and I could lend a hand in return?
It doesn't have to be one person, I and notably everything is setup but it would be good for someone to keep maintaining it and fix a few issues.
Is there a list of issues? I'm happy to assess how I might be able to help.
Fixing the VPN would be the first thing, I've spent ages and contact the manufacturer but no luck so far.
Then we need to buy and fit a network patch panel and wire all the cables to it. I am ordering one tonight hopefully.
Is the Internet from BT by chance?
Sadly, BT line, via Andrews & Arnold, who donate the line, which is amazing, but it's only as fast as BT will peddle.
There's a known issue with BT and vpns especially if it's not a 'commercial' line.
Something else for Thursday ! Lol
Oh, not sure, but the issue is with the Router OS...
@woodtechs Is there anything on this list for an unskilled but sensible person to do? Do the tool risk assessments still need to be done?
I've just joined and don't have a key yet, but if someone is going to be around after work this week I'm happy to come over and find out what needs doing.
Let me know, thanks,
I have experience with openvpn if that helps. Also in networking... And I'm very much interested in node.js I'm planning to extend my backend knowledge of 12 years of php programming
The issue is there is a fault with the router's firmware that Ubiquity refuses to acknowledge let alone repair.
As for the membership system, @courty wants to meet tomorrow, but I am not sure if @jonathanjo is free.
Are you talking about the BT router? Could we circumvent it...? Extracting the pppoe username and password and then using a wrt router with which we can do whatever we want
No there is a BT modem and a Ubiquity EdgeRouter X we don't want to switch to WRT, the EdgeRouter is fine, it's just the VPN doesn't work and needs some poking.
Hey wondering if you still need a hand with the website?
I'm skilled in Wordpress, html and CSS
Do you know who I need to get in touch about the leaflet?
Tom's left the space I'm afraid.
But if you're interested in helping out there is a specific wordpress problem that needs solving:
The handling of repeating events assumes that they're only ever weekly. We need it to take account of "First Tuesday Of The Month" events eg. SOcial Evening and Members Meeting.
Ah ok...Would need to take a look at the system and the back end a little bit more to understand the full problem but I have a feeling I know a buddy that I could communicate with that would be able to sort this out pretty easily once i get to know the problem.
As for the leaflet is that done?
It fundamentally isn't possible, the data isn't provided by Google. It would require reading weeks ahead matching events and inferring a pattern.
However the CSS is a bit whacky there is weird spacing between the headings and the content i.e. between - Events and sub text, and then the events.
I'm intrigued, and need to brush up my PHP. I take it this feeds events listing at https://www.southlondonmakerspace.org/ ... it looks correct to me at present?
On a linked theme - looking at https://discourse.southlondonmakerspace.org/t/calendar-all-events/96 - the social evening occurs on the calendar on the 2nd Tuesday of every month, but the description says "on the first Tuesday of each month..." - which is it? I have yet to make it down to find out...Or is this part of the problem under discussion?
PS - i like the ASCII art makerspace logo

The Washington Nationals may deserve to have a big 'Thank you' sign draped across the B and O warehouse at Camden Yards from Baltimore Orioles fans. People on the north end of the BW Parkway don't want to hear it, but if not for the Nationals, Baltimore may still be the same floundering franchise it was for over a decade.
Before the Montreal Expos moved to Washington in 2005, the Orioles owned the D.C. and Maryland. They were the team of the region and promoted themselves as such. With no competition, Baltimore did not have to put a winning team on the field to draw fans.
Then the Nationals arrived, and that cut into Baltimore's attendance. The Orioles had already taken a hit when the Baltimore Ravens of the NFL were born in 1996. The Nationals arrival hurt the Orioles' attendance even more.
Orioles owner Peter Angelos did not want a team in Washington for obvious reasons. He knew that it would cut into his attendance and radio/TV revenue, so he made sure that concessions were made by MLB owners, and commissioner Bud Selig, to help him financially. The biggest concession was that Angelos would hold radio/TV rights in the region. Thus, Nationals games are televised on the Mid-Atlantic Sports Network owned by Angelos. The Orioles are also broadcast on Washington's local sports radio channel WTEM.
But where the Nationals really hit Angelos was in attendance. When the Lerner family bought the team in 2006 they set out to build a solid franchise from top to bottom. Over the next six years Washington built a new stadium, put together a solid minor league system, and drafted two young phenoms in pitcher Stephen Strasburg and outfielder Bryce Harper. The team hired one time Angelos employee Davey Johnson as a senior adviser in 2009. Johnson is now the team's manager, the Nats are winning, and fans that used to go to Baltimore are now going to Nationals Park.
In Baltimore, Angelos had to make a decision. For years he had cried poverty as the reason he couldn't compete for talent with the Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees. This meant that the Orioles could never challenge for a pennant. With the Nationals building a team 40 miles south, Angelos had to do something or see his fan base dwindle even more.
Angelos did the only thing he could. He began to build a good, young ball club similar to the Nationals. The Orioles began to draft and sign talent like catcher Matt Wieters and center fielder Adam Jones. Just as with the Nationals, it took a little time for it to come together, but Baltimore is now in a battle for the AL East pennant with the Yankees and Tampa Bay Rays.
The irony is that the Orioles could have done all of this almost 15 years ago. When Johnson managed Baltimore for Angelos from 1996-97, he planned to build a team and organization similar to the one Washington has now. However, Angelos did not think it would be fair to veterans like Cal Ripken Jr. to start a rebuilding project.
After Johnson was released, it was obvious Angelos was not going to build a ball club unless something drastic forced him to. Enter the Nationals.
Washington's arrival forced the Orioles organization to step it up. It seems as though Baltimore has as well. It seems that indirectly Johnson helped the Orioles to rebuild.
For this the fans of Baltimore should stretch a banner across the B and O warehouse that simply says, 'Thank you Nationals.'

Latest news for cymbalta 30mg pills $162.00
In case you didn't see it, Wizards of the Coast has a new weekly feature on ; community sealed deck building. It looks usable, useful, and the initial hiccups are minor. Cymbalta 30mg pills $162.00 unfortunately, there's no way to link to a built version of the deck (yet), so you're getting it mirrored here. [deck] [Lands] 6 Forest 8 Mountain 1 Swamp 1 Shimmering Grotto [/Lands] [Creatures] 1 Avacyns Pilgrim 2 Briarpack Alpha 1 Crossway Vampire 1 Daybreak Ranger 1 Erdwal Ripper 1 Forge Devil 1 Galvanic Juggernaut 1 Hinterland Hermit 1 Huntmaster of the Fells 1 Instigator Gang 2 Nearheath Stalker 1 Orchard Spirit 1 Rakish Heir 1 Somberwald Spider 1 Torch Fiend 1 Ulvenwald Mystics 1 Woodland Sleuth [/Creatures] [Other Spells] 1 Avacyns Collar 2 Fires of Undeath 1 Spidery Grasp 1 Travelers Amulet [/Other Spells] [Sideboard] 1 Nephalia Drownyard 2 Avacynian Priest 1 Black Cat 1 Diregraf Captain 1 Ghoulraiser 1 Highborn Ghoul 1 Hollowhenge Spirit 1 Mausoleum Guard 1 Midnight Guard 1 Niblis of the Urn 1 Rage Thrower 1 Ravenous Demon 1 Rotting Fensnake 1 Russet Wolves 2 Sanctuary Cat 1 Screeching Skaab 1 Somberwald Dryad 1 Stitched Drake 1 Stormbound Geist 1 Stromkirk Captain 1 Sturmgeist 1 Vampire Interloper 1 Vengeful Vampire 1 Walking Corpse 1 Artful Dodge 1 Back from the Brink 1 Burden of Guilt 1 Counterlash 1 Crushing Vines 1 Curse of the Nightly Hunt 1 Curse of the Pierced Heart 1 Demonmail Hauberk 1 Divination 1 Favor of the Woods 1 Fling 1 Frightful Delusion 1 Furor of the Bitten 1 Grasp of Phantoms 1 Heavy Mattock 1 Increasing Ambition 1 Increasing Confusion 1 Mask of Avacyn 1 Maw of the Mire 1 Naturalize 2 Rangers Guile 2 Scorch the Fields 1 Sensory Deprivation 1 Shattered Perception 1 Skeletal Grimace 1 Smite the Monstrous 1 Spare from Evil 1 Think Twice 1 Thought Scour 1 Trepanation Blade 1 Undying Evil [/Sideboard] [/Deck] As much as I hate formats where the winner is determined by who opens the best rares. . . This pool has got some strong blue bombs in both Sturmgeist and Back from the Brink. A Magpie that will often outsize any other fliers tends to put the game away, ad I don't think I've ever lost a sealed game where I resolved a Back From the Brink. Blue has also got a Grasp of Phantasms, already strong removal that has gone up in value with the onset of Undying. Unfortunately, blue is not particularly deep, and is lacking in several of the commons we would need to strongly consider it as a primary color. But wait, what's this? A Mythic Werewolf? Two more rare Werewolves? I guess our colors are decided for us then. Huntmaster, Dabreak Ranger, and Instigator Gang are all easy includes. From there, we add in most of the easy to decide on commons. Spidery Grasp makes the cut because we're a bit short on ways to deal with fliers and because it's a great trick with Galvanic Juggernaut; Ranger's Guiles are considered but ultimately dropped for not doing quite enough. Nearhearth Stalkers, both copies, is an easy inclusion; people are still underrating Undying. What would you pay for a 4/1 creature that drew you a card when it entered play? What if that card was a 5/2 creature that cost 0 mana? Yeah. . . There's some slight concern with some of the other red: Rakish Heir is a bit of a nonbo with Nearhearth Stalker, but it's still an ok card in a vacuum, and let's us just leave Stalker on Defense if [cymbalta 30mg pills $162.00] need be. The double red in the costs of the Ripper and the Crossway Vampire are also slightly worrying, but we're relatively light on colored mana requirements, so we cymbalta 30mg pills $162.00 can get away with it. Fires of Undeath would likely get the nod even without the ability to flash it back; we need some removal to be in our list. But we've got both a Shimmering Grotto and a Traveler's Amulet, so running the Grotto and one Swamp let's us get some incidental value out of them without much of an opportunity cost. With the black mana in the deck, we could consider splashing some other black cards. Undying Evil and Increasing Ambition in particular are tempting. However, neither of those are quite strong enough to justify running such a lite splash for; neither of them flat out wins the game when you cast it. There's some equipment in the list. Mask of Avacyn is a card that I've occasionally seen used to good effect cymbalta 30mg pills $162.00, but not too very often. It's very expensive for an effect that does not fit particularly well in our theme. Heavy Mattock is tempting; if it gave +2/+2 a majority of the time it would likely be included. We do have a fair number of humans, but most of them are Werewolves, and even then there are not enough to justify it's inclusion. Avacyn's Collar will be getting included, though. The incidental bonus from the collar is much more relevant than that on the Mattock, giving us a source of hard-to-block damage or a way to deal with opposing fliers. The 1 cmc gives us another play in a light point on our curve instead of the fuller upper end end. And finally, the Vigilance granted gives us a great way to race in general, and combines particularly well with out Nearhearth Stalkers, Daybreak Ranger, and Galvanic Juggernaut. Feel free to tell me how I'm wrong.

Atrium String Quartet
"A beautifully balanced group with a fine, burnished tone and excellent blend" – The Strad
One of the most inspiring, dynamic and charismatic ensembles on the musical scene, the Atrium Quartet have established themselves as performers of deep emotion, intellect, virtuosity and technical brilliance. Highly acclaimed by audiences and press the Quartet has performed throughout Europe, Russia, the USA, Australia, Japan and Brazil.
The Atrium Quartet is a winner of two of the most prestigious International Competitions for String Quartet: First prize and Audience Prize of the 9th London International String Quartet Competition in 2003 and Grand-Prix of the 5th International String Quartet Competition in Bordeaux in 2007. Founded in 2000 in St Petersburg under the inspiration of Professor Josef Levinson, the Quartet graduated from the St Petersburg Conservatoire in 2003 and then completed their education as a quartet-in-residenz in Amsterdam coached by Prof. Stefan Metz at the Netherland String Quartet Academy and in Hochschule fur Musik Hanns Eisler in Berlin with Prof. Eberhard Feltz. The Quartet has also been coached by famous musicians from the Alban Berg Quartet, Vermeer Quartet, by Marc Danel. Recent highlights for the Atrium Quartet have included recitals at the Wigmore Hall, Royal Festival Hall in London, Library of Congress in Washington, Frick Collection in New York, Les Invalides in Paris, BOZAR in Brussels, Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, De Doelen in Rotterdam, deSingel in Antwerpen, Conservatoire du Geneva, Palau Musica Catalana and L'Auditori in Barcelona, Philharmonic Hall and Mariinsky Concert Hall in St Petersburg, Toppan Hall and Oji Hall in Tokyo, Harpa Concert Hall in Reykjavik as well as recitals at prestigious Festivals such as Beethovenfest, Schleswig-Holstein Festival, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern Festival, Schwetzingen Festival in Germany, Colmar & Luberon Festivals in France, Orlando & Grachtenfestival in the Netherlands, Haydn International Festival in Eszterhaza in Hungary, Davos and Luzern Festivals in Switzerland.

The Quartet has performed with such eminent musicians as violist Richard Young of the Vermeer Quartet, pianists Brigitte Engerer and Jean-Bernard Pommier, cellist Antonio Meneses.
Teaching becomes another important part of Quartet's activities. The members of the Atrium Quartet shared their experience with young musicians from the UK, USA, Brazil and Russia. From 2012 to 2015 the quartet was the quartet-in-residence at the Sunflower Music Festival in Topeka, USA.
The Atrium Quartet's discography includes a CD with works by Mozart, Tchaikovsky and Shostakovich made for EMI Classics and a DVD 'Live in Concert' in the Netherlands with music by Tchaikovsky. Another CD was recorded in Paris for Zig-Zag Territories (Beethoven Quartet Op.74 in E flat, and Shostakovich Quartet No.5, Op.92), and was the Gramophone's Editor's Choice in November 2008. Another CD which includes 9 & 11 quartets and Piano quintet by D. Shostakovich recorded in St Petersburg with Misha Fomin (piano) and released for russian label Oclassica in 2012. This CD appeared in TOP 10 by Lusiter Magazin, leading musical issue in the Netherlands. The Atrium Quartet recorded all 4 string quartets of Spanish composer Jordi Cervello (Columna Musica, 2015). Two of his quartets («A Bach» & «Sant Petersburg») dedicated to the members of the Atrium Quartet. Next big project of the quartet is the cycle of all 15 quartets by D. Shostakovich.

Vecuronium Dosage
Applies to the following strength(s): 10 mg ; 20 mg ; 10 mg/10 mL
The information at Drugs.com is not a substitute for medical advice. Always consult your doctor or pharmacist.
Usual Adult Dose for:
Additional dosage information:
Usual Adult Dose for Anesthesia
Initial dose: 0.08 to 0.1 mg/kg. Maintenance dose during prolonged surgical procedures: 0.01 to 0.015 mg/kg 25 to 40 minutes later, then as frequently as every 12 to 15 minutes.
Continuous infusion: Initiate with an intubating dose of 80 to 100 mcg/kg followed 20 to 40 minutes later with 0.8 to 1.2 mcg/kg/minute.
Renal Dose Adjustments
Vecuronium is well tolerated without clinically significant prolongation of neuromuscular blocking effect in patients with renal failure who have been optimally prepared for surgery by dialysis.
Liver Dose Adjustments
Vecuronium is not recommended for use in patients with hepatic disease/failure.
This drug should be administered by or under the supervision of experienced clinicians familiar with the use of neuromuscular blocking agents (NMBAs). Dosage must be individualized in each case. The dosage information provided is derived from studies based upon units of drug per unit of body weight and is intended to serve as a guide only, especially regarding enhancement of neuromuscular blockade of vecuronium by volatile anesthetics and by prior use of succinylcholine.
To obtain maximum clinical benefits of vecuronium and to minimize the possibility of overdosage, the monitoring of muscle twitch response to peripheral nerve stimulation is advised.
Severe anaphylactic reactions to vecuronium, have been reported. These reactions have in some cases been life-threatening and fatal. Due to the potential severity of these reactions, the necessary precautions, such as the immediate availability of appropriate emergency treatment, should be taken. Precautions should also be taken in those individuals who have had previous anaphylactic reactions to other NMBAs since cross-sensitivity between NMBAs has been reported.
Safety and effectiveness have not been established in pediatric patients less than 7 weeks of age.
Vecuronium is well tolerated without clinically significant prolongation of neuromuscular blocking effect in patients with renal failure who have been optimally prepared for surgery by dialysis. Under emergency conditions in anephric patients some prolongation of neuromuscular blockade may occur; therefore, if anephric patients cannot be prepared for non-elective surgery, a lower initial dose of vecuronium should be considered.

Will's Plans
"When I grow up, I am going to live in a beach house in Florida!"
B: "Sounds awesome, Will! What are you going to do for your job there?"
W: "Nothing. I don't think people work in Florida."
B: "Then how will you support yourself and afford your beach house?"
W: "I will get my money from you. When you die. Of old age, of course." (I suppose this is better than acquiring it, as Andrew does, from "careless people who leave it lying around." Which is still us, actually, so I guess it comes to the same.)
Until then we are most welcome to visit him any time.

Ha! That sounds awesome! Those little conversations are priceless. Love it.

It's been nearly three years since city leaders voted to legalize medical marijuana. Now, with dispensaries not even open yet, some legislators are exploring whether the D.C. Council should decriminalize or even legalize marijuana, period. Tim Craig reports in the Post that Tommy Wells (D-Ward 6) and Marion Barry (D-Ward 8) have been emboldened, in part, by a recent poll showing widespread support for more liberal marijuana policies and accompanying threats of a ballot initiative push by activists. Anita Bonds (D-At Large) and David Grosso (I-At Large) also are on the record in support, but Council Chairman Phil Mendelson (D) continues to be wary of congressional intervention: "I don't think it's the right time," he said. The issue also could become a major differentiator in the coming mayor's race, with Wells preparing to announce and candidate Muriel Bowser (D-Ward 4) saying she is "not prepared to say we need to go another step" beyond medical marijuana.

UPDATE: Morgan Stanley Reiterates on Anadarko Petroleum After Tronox Opinion is Finally Published
In a report published Friday, Morgan Stanley analyst Evan Calio reiterated an Overweight rating on Anadarko Petroleum (NYSE: APC), but removed the $110.00 price target.
In the report, Morgan Stanley noted, "The US Bankruptcy Court has published its long-awaited Tronox opinion. APC was determined to have made a fraudulent transfer (via Kerr-McGee) in connection with the separation of Tronox. A $14.5Bn verdict was decided yet subject to an offset amount to be determined. Total damages, the key element of the case and stock, was thus not determined and will be the subjection of additional briefs (30 and 60 days) and a hearing. The Court framed the offset issue for subsequent hearing. We expect the most quoted and negative line from the opinion relates to the provisional calculation of damages: 'the [pending] issue is limited but the difference is large – whether the Defendant should be liable for damages in the amount of $14,166,148,000 or $5,150,490,000…' Damage amounts were illustrative (pgs 145-150 in the opinion)."
Anadarko Petroleum closed on Thursday at $83.67.

Katandra went to two points off second spot on the ladder after completing a demolition of Northerners on Saturday.
The Eagles' fourth straight win was set-up via a mammoth day-one score when all of their top-six batsmen fired to propel them to 7-404.
It would have taken one of the most sensational performances in Haisman Shield history for the Jets to chase it down.
Northerners' innings never got going as they were all out 175 in the 58th over.
Katandra rotated its bowlers around and it did the trick.
Corey Hickford bowled the most overs with 10, while Chris Skolyarev, captain Jedd Wright and Ben Clurey claimed two wickets each.
''We thought with 400 on the board and they were three or four out, we'd give everyone a bit of trundle, but everyone that did a job is more than a capable and that showed with the wickets being spread evenly,'' Wright said.
After staring down the barrel early in the season with only one win from their first five matches, the Eagles will play finals for the first time since 2014.
With their spot in March booked, Katandra is eager to enter the post-season with momentum.
The Eagles will get the ultimate showing of where they are at this Saturday when they travel to Deakin Reserve for a showdown with the league juggernaut.
''Our aim at the start of the year was to play finals, but it will be good to test ourselves against Central Park-St Brendan's,'' Wright said.
There wasn't much to smile about for the Jets, but Matthew Chilcott was patient at the top of the order for his 51, while Matt Rendina worked his way to 35.
Katandra batted for a second time for some valuable practice, with Ben Clurey still stuck in Twenty20 mode from Thursday night as he belted an unbeaten 77 from 49 balls.
Clurey finished with an aggregate of 137 for the match after a classy 60 in the first innings.
Katandra 7-404 (Jedd Wright 101, Elliot Richardson 74, Ben Clurey 60, Andrew Riordan 48, Joel Brett 3-101, James Feeney 2-83) and 1-108 (Ben Clurey 77 not out, Ray Ireland 20) defeated Northerners 175 (Matthew Chilcott 51, Matt Rendina 35, Jedd Wright 2-20, Chris Skolyarev 2-25, Ben Clurey 2-35)
Jedd Wright (Katandra): The captain was one of many Eagles players to fire with the bat as he smashed a century on day one. The bowling was shared around, but Wright managed to pop up for two wickets of his own.

San Stefano, Treaty of (1878)
Signed on 3 March 1878, this treaty concluded one of the major wars fought between Russia and the Ottoman Empire (1877–1878).
Among the provisions of the Treaty of San Stefano were the following:
- Serbia and Montenegro received their independence from the Ottoman Empire and were granted additional territory.
- Independence was also gained by Romania, which lost southern Bessarabia to Russia but was compensated by the acquisition of the Black Sea province of Dobrudja.
- Bosnia and Herzegovina were granted autonomy and were promised reforms, to be supervised jointly by Russia and Austria.
- In addition to southern Bessarabia, Russia also acquired a substantial part of northeastern Anatolia, including the provinces of Batum, Kars, and Ardahan.
- Unexpectedly, the treaty also called for the creation of Greater Bulgaria. Its territory extended from the Danube and the Black Sea
to the Aegean Sea in the south and included much of Macedonia. Nominally a part of the Ottoman Empire, Greater Bulgaria was to be ruled by a Christian government and to possess a national militia. For the next two years, it was also to remain under Russian occupation—a clear indication of the direction in which Russia was moving: Bulgaria guards the northern access to the Turkish Straits.
It soon became obvious that the Treaty of San Stefano—a major gain in Russia's contest with the Ottoman Empire for supremacy in the Balkan-Black Sea region—would not be allowed to stand. Among the great powers, early concern was expressed by Great Britain and Austria-Hungary. Britain had long opposed Russia's aggrandizement at the expense of the Ottoman Empire and particularly the Russian drive toward the Turkish Straits. Austria-Hungary shared British apprehensions and was also perturbed by the creation of the Russian puppet state of Greater Bulgaria. Bowing to the British, Austro-Hungarian, and later German pressure, Russia agreed to submit the terms of the treaty of San Stefano to a great power congress—the Congress of Berlin.
The resulting Treaty of Berlin (1878) endorsed many of the provisions negotiated at San Stefano. Russia and Romania kept their territorial gains. Romania, Serbia, and Montenegro retained their independence, and the latter two retained much of the territory allocated to them. Bosnia and Herzegovina were, however, placed under Austrian control, and England was permitted to occupy Cyprus. Finally, despite Russian objections, the Congress of Berlin dismantled Greater Bulgaria. The latter was split into three parts: Bulgaria proper, located north of the Balkan mountains; East Rumelia, situated south of them; and Macedonia. All remained under Ottoman suzerainty but were granted autonomy and were promised reforms.
Great Britain was the main beneficiary of the Congress of Berlin. Supported by Austria-Hungary, Britain denied Russia the opportunity to become the sole arbiter of the affairs of the Ottoman Empire. The congress also prevented Russia from becoming the patron of Greater Bulgaria. Great Britain also acquired Cyprus; strategically located in the eastern Mediterranean, the island was used four years later to effect the British occupation of Egypt.

San Stefano, Treaty of
The Treaty of San Stefano, signed March 3, 1878, ended the Russo-Turkish War (1877–1878).
On January 31, 1878, with Russian victory over Turkey a foregone conclusion, the belligerents agreed to an armistice at Adrianople, followed by peace negotiations at San Stefano, a village near Constantinople. There, Count Nikolai Pavlovich Ignatiev, former ambassador to the Porte, and Savfet Pasha worked out final terms for signature on March 3, the anniversary date of Tsar Alexander II's imperial accession.
Accordingly, Turkey agreed to pay reparations of 1.41 billion rubles, of which 1.1 billion would be cancelled by cession to Russia in Asia Minor of Ardahan, Kars, Batumi, and Bayazid. In the Balkans, Turkey ceded northern Dobrudja and the Danube delta to Russia for ultimate transfer to Romania, in return for Romanian agreement to Russian occupation of southern Bessarabia. With a seaboard on the Mediterranean and an elected prince, Bulgaria remained under nominal Turkish control, while Bosnia and Herzegovina received autonomy. Romania, Serbia, and Montenegro received their independence, along with territorial enlargement. Turkey was obliged strictly to observe concessions for local participation in government that were inherent in the Organic Regulation of 1868 on Crete, while analogous regimes were to be implemented in Thessaly and Albania. The Porte was also to introduce reforms in Turkish Armenia.
The San Stefano Treaty formally went into effect on March 16, 1878, but concerted opposition from Great Britain and Austria-Hungary, together with Russia's growing diplomatic isolation, meant that the agreement remained only preliminary. Indeed, its main provisions subsequently underwent substantial revision at the Congress of Berlin in July 1878.

San Stefano, Treaty of
Treaty of San Stefano (săn stĕf´ənō), 1878, peace treaty between Russia and the Ottoman Empire, at the conclusion of the last of the Russo-Turkish Wars; it was signed at San Stefano (now Yeşilköy), a village W of İstanbul, Turkey. The Ottomans ceded to Russia parts of Armenia and the Dobruja; agreed to pay a very large indemnity; recognized the independence of Romania, Serbia, and Montenegro; and increased the territories of Serbia and Montenegro. Bulgaria was made an autonomous principality and was immensely enlarged, and the Ottoman Empire promised reforms for Bosnia and Herzegovina. Because the treaty modified the Treaty of Paris of 1856 (see Paris, Congress of) and greatly increased Russian influence in SE Europe, the other great powers obtained its revision at an international conference (see Berlin, Congress of).

Absolutely love the styling of this car and the paint is fantastic... I got metal flake red. My car is brand new so I'm still getting used to it but I have only two minor complaints so far...there is no digital clock available and the front seat storage is not as good as in my old '09 RAV 4. The interior fit and finish is fantastic and I love the cream color leather seats trimmed in black... goes great with the car.

Great car! Picked it up new a week ago and have had the pleasure of driving around town and a snow trip up to Flagstaff for a ski trip. It handles great around town and performed just as well on the 400 mile round trip to break in the AWD on snow. The car handles like a dream and very similar to the older 2008 328i I previously owned. I was pleasantly surprised how well the SUV handled the elevation change from 1000 feet up to 9500 feet. The turbo is flawless and at all times felt adequately powered. Several times I was surprised I was traveling too fast and had to use the cruise control to not break the law. The AWD performed well on the nasty road up to the ski slopes. I was deciding between this SUV and Subaru offerings. I feel I made the right decision and could not tolerate a 10 week wait for a 3.6 liter alternative. This SUV is extremely comfortable and a joy to drive. All riders tell me how sweet this Lexus drives. This is my 4th Lexus and the best so far.
Getting there in style - 2016 Lexus NX 200t
By P Karam - May 26 - 9:07 am
There is no dispute on luxury and reliability. It's a Lexus. I have had mine just over a week, and so far it's a fun vehicle, handles well, comfortable, agile and luxurious. However, in as much as it is a Lexus it does fall short in a couple areas. 1/The fuel tank is too small and that is a complain on both of my previously owned Lexus both the GS350 and the RC350 and now the NX. 300 miles is just plain inadequate. And don't expect 30 MPG, if you have a heavy foot. My other grief is safety related. Lexus boasts safety so why can't I get 1 safety package with everything, Pre collision with pedestrian detection, dynamic radar cruise, Blind spot, Lane departure alert with steering assist, Backup and overview camera in one package, not spread all over different packages. If safety is #1, let's put it all together. Lastly the cargo compartment is short a few inches. I literally had to wait over one month for mine. They could not find a white AWD F model fully loaded with pre collision which was a must have for me(Even though no one has proven that it stops itself). I had to settle for AWD with luxury package and no lane departure alert, no power rear seats. Otherwise it would have to be special order without December to remember deal. I will review further in the next month or so.
Great Little Car - 2016 Lexus NX 200t
By Winton Woods - May 18 - 6:29 pm
I bought this car for my wife and put a red bow on it to surprise her. We've had lots of cars over the years but this is her favorite. It's our first Lexus and we have no disappointments. My only problem is that I think the seats are hard but I'm sure I will get used to it.
No buyers remorse here! More than meets the eye. - 2016 Lexus NX 200t
By LA - November 19 - 7:38 pm
Excellent choice for the AARP crowd. Advanced structure safety design. Engineers used advanced construction processes. Attention to the little things and attention to detail is self evident like stop and Hold braking at stop lights... Designers tailored comfort for 50 Plus.... im amazed at the "Exceptional seat comfort" ! Advanced melded frame blocks noise transmission! Suspension provides deep muted kicks producing a remarkable ride! Superb fit and finish inside the cabin. Remarkable smooth "intelligent" modern transmission and an Engine that produces excellent numbers at low RPMs.. Its a ride you can drive great distance and still feel good at the end of the day! Hard to judge only by the numbers alone but rather "OF" the whole concept ! Very quiet so use the cruise control isolation makes it hard to feel just how fast your going. No buyers remorse here. Not a drivers car but rather "luxury" transportation. Arrive alive and in great shape! So for value comfort resale and reliability this "IS" a compact SUV to consider.

Only 500miles, hard to say but so far I have comments below: engine power enough if drive in city or on freeway; a little noisy if compared my Lexus es350; front driver seat is comfortable; exterior good looking. Overall I will give 4+ stars.
