The Riot of Spring: music and madness in the beau monde
On 27 May 1913, fashionable Paris was scandalized by the premiere of a new ballet. Le Sacre du Printemps (The Rite of Spring, as it is usually known in English), with music by Igor Stravinsky and choreography by Vaslav Nijinsky, depicted pagan ceremonies for the coming of spring, culminating in the sacrifice of a young […]more

Figure 7:
Forward simulation results followed by the optimization process on experimental data. The thick green line is the raw data (total composite strain) from the extensometer, and the red dots are processed experimental data after removing strain relaxation effect from the green line and synchronizing data points with FEM database. The blue line (ANN forward simulation) was fitted by the automatic optimizer to find the best fitting parameter of
(yield strength of W-fiber). The observed yield point (~600 MPa) appears much lower than the optimized yield strength (1258 MPa) due to the thermal residual stress effect ("compressive" in W and "tensile" in BMG).

The 59th
Bomb Squadron
By Edwin M. Anderson
NDAC/SU Faculty, Professor Emeritus, EE, 1949-1982
The following exerpts about Ed's experiences during the second World War are taken from his autobiography.
The Monday after Pearl Harbor, Ed went to enlist in the Navy, since his dad had been in the submarines during World War One. Ed just couldn't pass the eye test with his right eye. Upon leaving he asked the Navy officer what the eye requirements for the Army were, but the officer did not know them. As Ed related it, " ... so I walked across the hallway and asked a big fat army sergeant what the eye requirement were in the army and he said. 'Son, can you see to walk through that door without your glasses' and when I said sure he said 'Son, you are in the army.'"
Ed had some very specialized and highly classified training with the Norden Bombsight. Eventually he was assigned to the 598th Bomb Squadron of the 397th Bomb Group. He had numerous adventures while in Europe. The following was when he and some buddies toured in Holland.
"While in Holland we had a small German sedan that would seat 4 with a shoehorn. Doc Boyd, Red Lowe and Al Carr and I took off one weekend and toured Holland, Amsterdam, Rotterdam, and the rest. We met a Dutch guy in a sidewalk bar and started talking to him. He was an English teacher in a high school. He took us home and introduced us to his folks and we had a meal with them. We had a bunch of rations with us, along with cigarettes, candy, etc., so we gave them a lot of goodies. He gave us a huge round chuck of cheese which he said they had buried in the back yard while the germans where there. He had lost his sweetheart when the Germans shot her while she was riding a bike. Shortly after we got back to our base we found out that Eisenhower had issued an order making it a court martial offense for American troops to go to Holland since it was under the jurisdiction of the British and Canadians."
By the end of the War, Ed's Squadron had flown 239 missions, received numerous battle stars, and a Presidential Commendation. "In France before I got on the boat they asked me if I wanted to remain in the service as an officer. I got the same question at Camp Kilmer and at Fort McArthur. My answer was always the same. Get me out of here! Upon discharge I got a train ticket to Denver and just made the last seat on the train."

Using Solrj, I wanted to sort the response of a range query based on some specific labels. For instance, using the query:
facet=true &facet.query={!key= Less than 100}[* TO 99] &facet.query={!key=100 - 200}[100 TO 200] &facet.query={!key=200 +}[201 TO *]
I wanted to display the response in the following order:
Less than 100 (x) 100 - 200 (y) 201 + (z)
independently on the values of x, y, z which are the numbers of the retrieved documents for each range.
While Solr itself produces correctly the desired order (as specified in my query), SolrJ doesn't preserve it.
RE: Yonik, a solution could be just to change
_facetQuery = new HashMap<String, Integer>(); ...to... _facetQuery = new Linked HashMap<String, Integer>();
- All
- Comments
- Work Log
- History
- Activity
- Transitions
revising summary to clarify the problem, reclassifying as a bug, reformating description to include noformat & code tags so it doesn't try to render emoticons.
I'll go ahead and make this change soon if there are no objections.
As it relates to SolrJ, HashMap vs LinkedHashMap for facet queries will be completely inconsequential.
The only potential burden here lies with the server side - is there some reason solr might not want to return them in order in the future? I really can't think of a realistic reason why not.
Committed. I almost didn't add a CHANGES entry this is so trivial... if others agree we could just remove and lessen the amount of noise people need to read through.
Correcting Fix Version based on CHANGES.txt, see this thread for more details...

I think it's a fuel system problem. Any suggestions?

Tagged: angular, dynamic template, Shortcodes
I have searched around, but did not find any answers to my issues. I have two issues:
The shortcodes icon that the documentation of Angular show is not visible on my install. Is there a plugin that I need to download?
I can build dynamic templates, and have done so on the frontpage. But when building a different template and want to use it on "about" page for instance, the choice of dynamic template under layout is not showing. Only "overwrite default…"
Any suggestions?
You are currently using an older version of the theme. Please update Angular theme to the latest version 1.8 via FTP – http://vimeo.com/67209750
I have now updated to 1.8. Nothing changed.
Still no dynamic template to ad, or shortcode magic wand icon.
Another thing I noticed is wrong, is that everytime I choose a featured image, it disappers when I save or publish the page.
Please advice if you can figure out what could be wrong.
Hi again.
I figured out dynamic sidebar.
But shortcodes is still missing.

Easton chasing new North West dream
The latest guests to be confirmed for the Adelaide Motorcycle Awards evening at the Ramada Plaza Hotel, Belfast next Friday are Scottish rider Stuart Easton and Londoner Gino Rea.
For Easton this will be his first visit back to Belfast since being released from the Royal Victoria Hospital in June five weeks after his horrific practice accident at the North West 200 in which he suffered multiple injuries including shattered pelvis, hip, femur and a damaged bowel.
Despite these potentially life-threatening injuries Easton is keen to return to the North West to race again saying: "I have nothing against road racing and I want to race at the North West again although this year may be too soon, anyway it will all depend on what Birdy (Paul Bird) has planned for the team.
"What happened was a freak accident and could have happened anywhere. It will be good to get back over to Belfast and meet up with many of my friends and supporters who visited me or sent me messages of support when I was hospitalised."
Easton will form part of the new Paul Bird Rapid Solicitors Kawasaki Team in the 2012 British Superbike Championship riding alongside Shayne Byrne and the 28-year-old from Hawick is keen to get back onboard a motorcycle again hopefully when testing begins in February.
The 2002 British Supersport champion scored his first ever BSB win at Croft in 2009 on his way to finishing third in the championship and was well in championship contention in 2011 until the North West accident when he collided with the slowing machine of team-mate Gary Mason on the fast run towards Station Corner and his season was ended. Having finished second and fifth in the 2010 Superbike races at the North West and recorded a quickest ever speed trap time of 204mph Easton was amongst the favourites for success at the 2011 meeting prior to the accident. Rea is a newcomer to the Irish scene and has spent his racing career in Europe riding in the European Superstock 600cc class, which he won in 2009 before moving up to the World Supersport championship, the last two years riding for the Czech based Step Racing Honda Team and a rival of Eugene Laverty in the 2010 season.
Last year he finished second in the second round of the series at Donington before recording his first ever world championship win at Brno in the Czech Republic. Although the 22-year-old has tested for the Gresini Racing Moto2 Team and finished inside the top three at Valencia and Jerez, no firm plans are yet in place for the 2012 season.
Rea said: "Last season was my second in world Supersport and only my fifth season on tarmac. I had hoped for top three in the championship last season, but for one reason or another it didn't happen and I'm now looking towards the 2012 season.
"I'm looking forward to visiting the Adelaide Awards evening in Belfast, one of the highlights of the season I'm led to believe."

Addressing the Innovation "Valley of Death:" It's the Products, Stupid!
(Page 2 of 3)
new funding model for innovation, which we call the Distributed Partnering Model. While we explain in our paper how to apply this model to advance life sciences innovation, it can also be applied to high-tech, cleantech, and other technology sectors.
This model emphasizes the importance of advancing the innovative technologies and products— instead of a model that emphasizes building individual companies around each new discovery or invention. In our model, we have identified four independent entities that work collectively to advance innovation—based on the unique assets, skill sets, cultures, and risk tolerance to be applied. Each would have a rational investment risk and reward as a specific innovation gets relayed from one business entity to the next. They are:
—Discovery: A research institute that focuses on new discoveries.
—Definition: A company that invests in defining the initial product(s) from the research-based discoveries in a given field of expertise.
—Development: A company with responsibility for funding and advancing product development.
—Delivery: A company with a significant marketing and distribution channel.
Our model is fundamentally different than previous models in that it focuses on these independent groups to collectively contribute to advancing products from research discovery to commercialization. As senior fellow Frank Douglas says in a statement issued by the Kauffman Foundation, "The model focuses on advancing products as opposed to companies. We need thousands of new products, not thousands of new companies."
There are two key enabling elements of the proposed model: the formation of a new type of company to address the "Valley of Death" bottleneck, called a product definition company (PDC), and a more efficient use of infrastructure and product development expertise provided by professional service providers (PSP). PDCs would focus on translating a portfolio of research discoveries into an early, development stage product. These would be managed by an experienced entrepreneurial team with significant operating experience in a given field. The PDC business model would call for SELLING the product or technology assets to VCs or distribution companies after the initial product definition phase for further product development and, eventually, delivery to the market by distribution companies. Potential PDC investors would include angels, large corporations, VCs, foundations, etc., and investor focus would be on their field of interest and the expertise of the operating team.
Instead of investing in infrastructure, as was the norm for the VC start-up company model, the translational experiments to reach "proof of relevancy" would be contracted to PSPs to perform the key development activities. In this model the PSPs would become a significant force for providing expertise in a given area. Furthermore, by transferring the product development (and technology) to the PSPs, acquirers will not be dependent on the PDC management team for expertise (with perhaps the exception of the project manger). Following acquisition, the product development company could operate in a … Next Page »

A cold front will move slowly across North Texas today and become stationary along the Red River on Sunday. Showers and thunderstorms will move through East Texas ahead of the front today and Sunday. Rainfall should range from one-half inch to an inch and a half through Sunday. High temperatures will be in the middle 80s. The front will move back to the north as a warm front, so scattered showers and thunderstorms will continue Monday and Tuesday.
A stronger cold front Wednesday will bring an end to the rain and leave behind cooler temperatures with lows in the 50s and highs in the 70s. Another front will reinforce the cool air Friday.

Resolution Revolution?: House GOP Leader Proposes Dropping Symbolic Statements

U.S. Rep. Eric Cantor (R-Va.), whom everybody acknowledges will be the next House majority leader, has issued a list of 22 proposals he would like to see enacted. Some of them are legislative in nature (such as repealing the health-care bill) and others concern the internal workings of the House.

there shouldn't be because you aren't transferring their group policies or logins but creating new ones. we had a similar experiance when upgrading from y2k to y2k03 where we couldn't transfer our settings to the new server. we created new logins using our old information but it worked without a problem.
what OS's are on the other computers?
*you may need to rerun the network setup on all computers to make sure that they can all talk to each other.
There will be an issue
If you are doing a clean install of your NT domain, you will need to rejoin every client to newly created server 2003 domain. When you wipe the old one, even though the name of the domain and user names will be the same, the SID for the new domain will be different, essentially making it a brand new and different domain. If this is ok, then go ahead. If you have a lot of users, i would suggest this process, granted you need a separate server.
1. Install a second server with NT on it, and promote it to a PDC, making your true PDC, a BDC, wait for replication to finish.
2. Perform an upgrade on the new PDC to 2003, thus upgrading the domain from an Nt 4.0 domain to 2003 at 2000 mixed mode.
3. Take the last remaining 4.0 bdc (make sure everything is working properly with the upgrade) and remove its role as a BDC, then once this is done, format and install Windows Server 2003 onto it.
4. Once its installed, promote it to domain controller, and join it as an additional domain controller, and select the existing domain your upgraded in step2.
5. Once this is done, remove the domain controller role from the first NT server you upgraded to 2003. This will transfer the five FSMO roles to the newly formatted server, and viola, your done. You now have a fresh formatted server 2003, with all existing users and such in place, no need for the client computer to be touched.

Don't miss a story. Like us on Facebook. Like Dallas News' Facebook Page
World War II veteran Eugene Hodges of Irving has lots of war stories to tell. He joined the Navy when he was only 17. He served at Omaha Beach, and then around the world after the war. He was honorably discharged in 1946. The native Dallasite returned to the area, got married, moved to Irving and raised his family. Like many WW II veterans, he didn't talk much about the war.
Recently, he received a letter from the French government. But his daughter, Cynthia Marlar of Irving, said he wanted to ignore it. She convinced him to follow up. The letter informed Hodges that he was selected to receive the French Legion of Honor.
Hodges joined six other World War II veterans in a medal ceremony Tuesday at Dallas City Hall. The seven veterans received the highest honor for service from French Consul General Sujiro Seam.
I wrote about the ceremony in today's Dallas Morning News. Click here to read the story.

Why do long buried things surface to the conscious mind when what it (the mind) should be doing is deliberating on the assignment?
Weirder things happen. Emma and her words popping up out of the blue is still close to normal.

THE OFFICIAL WING 450 V2/V1 THREAD - FAQ's, PIC's, VID's
A full month had passed since I have been lurking around the boards researching my very first 6 channel heli. This review is from a newbie's POV, offering you a fresh look at the heli as compared to a seasoned vet that has helis lined up at his disposal, flies the living cr@# out of it, & barely has time for projects as elementary as a 450 size.
My heli experience is limited to a Lama V4, I've had it about 2 months & I felt that it was time to move up to a single rotor CP.
At first I thought of going with HBCP2 route, it's not a bad stepping stone, many pilots also went thru this route. Exchanging PM's & further research led to me to conclude that a motor driven tail could be a good step forward but a belt driven tail would be better. So a belt driven tail it is.
The 450 size seem to offer the most variety in electric helis, be it heli choice, aftermarket upgrade parts & LHS parts support, not to mention a price within reach to a newbie wanting to try out helis.
One model ALWAYS calls a newbie's attention in this size, for it's pricing & RTF package. Overall, a heli that flies most of the time, the model that you either love or hate , the BELT CP.
I would not be going through a Belt CP's strengths as it has 132 pages of it on the BELT CP thread(yup I read through those).
With the inherent design & build limitations of the Belt CP, I set off to find another candidate.
Enter the CopterX. Well this was a really good contender. Good alum parts, decent overall build & the most important, 99 to a 100% Trex compatibility. I thought hey, that's good as most LHS stock on Trex parts. Plus we've got GinoCP on the CopterX thread ready to check what wrong doings you might have done to your CPX. Oh btw, the CopterX thread has more pages than the BELT thread, so good luck!
Still I was in search of my heli, then came the GULANG models. Marketed here(where I'm at) as the Clone of the Clone(CopterX). These helis looks to be generic helis, they are probably made to be rebranded, the bananahobby Ninja450 is probably this heli. I don't know about you, but I would prefer to go with the ORIGINAL clone(CopterX), specially if they are priced about the same.
Another company enters the 450 size with the KDS450S RTF. It has strong ties with Gulang & is probably Gulang made rebranded as KDS. TachyonDriver was one of the first few people who got this model & I have been corresponding with him regarding this model ever since. The main difference of this model is the tail drive. Uses the belt directly from the main shaft instead of passing thru a 2nd gear that drives the belt. One important thing though, it has an all plastic head & tail, good thing is it looks to be Trex compatible. It is also priced just a tad higher than the BeltCP. This heli is ahead of the BeltCP(old version) in terms of design & electronics. Plus the canopy looks so bad ass.
However, it is close but no cigar.
Ahh the moment of truth...
After balancing the Pro's & Cons, this goes without saying balancing my budget, I finally decided on my first ever 6 channel heli. All things we're considered & this decision has the blessings from the nice people I've corresponded with in the span of my heli search. Thank you to everyone.
This is the model that I would be growing up with on this heli trip.

Those tiny spots you see is how my camera sees it. Actually, the metal quality is A+. Very smooth even finish. No hard edges anywhere on the cnc cutting, very precise. I may be a newbie heli r/c'er, but I know good quality when I see one.

Sceadu look-a-like shot.
I could post vids 1 thru 3 but I'm sure y'all just gonna get bored, all familiarization spool ups. Battery #4 is where things get interesting.
Out of the box:
Battery #4a - hover attempt:
Battery #4b - First controlled hover:
Battery #5 - First Outside hover:
Battery #6 - Indoor hover
Battery #7 - Tail Wag Issue
Battery #8 - Tail Wag tuning
Battery #9 - Chatting While Flying ( it's the first time I had someone watch me fly, hence the macho hovering.hehe )
Battery #10
This battery pack I call Revelation Flight.
I more or less, took out all the linkages in the head. Found out that some where snapped half way to cheat alignment. I've redone them all. It took me some time(8 hours ) but in this video, you can see the difference in stability. Plus of course an improvement on my flying ability.Hehe.
I also tweaked the tail for a good alignment, it was a good deal off when I got it.
The tail pitch slider. Now this has got me thinking since the start. Tail servo is binding with half stick RIGHT rudder input OUT OF THE BOX. Buzzing if you go over it. Needless to say, I don't have equal rudder throws. I learned to correct it mechanically, but I got negative tail blade pitch when I center the tail pitch slider on the tail shaft. So I need to set it LEFT of center(viewed from the tail) so I can I achieve positive tail pitch. By the way the tail blade linkages are shortest as they can be.
I've since learned how to use the Limiter on the gyro, that took care of the tail servo binding, but I still don't have equal throws.
I increased Delay to 20 & I think the Gyro setup is optimum now.
Also, the LED mod that I did. I'm so proud of this. I've always wanted my heli to have a light. And it doesn't weigh a thing. Marketing a RTF with a strobing light would be so sensible(hint ). Like a beacon, a marker, I think it also serves the purpose to a heli.
Just one bright strobe, not a Christmas light set.
I still don't have perfect blade tracking, working on it. That's for Battery #11.
Sum it up, this was the first tuning & mod job I did to the heli since I got it, that was like 2 days ago.
See how she fly's.
Battery #11 - Night Flying
Battery #12 - Spot the Difference
This battery is a marker, like Mk1 or something, anything with a number.
Watch the vid in high quality so you'd see the branches waving behind. Handling is way different, but I like it!
Battery #15 - TURNS
Battery #16 - ALMOST
Battery #17 - I CAN FLY
It has been 8 days & 6 hours since I got my Moijiah.
Prior to her, I've only had my Lama for a month & a half. I have been doing FMS sim around 20 to 30 minutes a day since.
I only have 2 lipolies that I rotate. Between them I have used 17 batteries.
To date, this is only my 6th day of flying a 6 channel Collective Pitch heli.
The first three batteries were all familiarization spool ups. It's on the fourth battery where I actually "looked" like flying.
So 17 batteries total, minus 3 ground runs = 14 confirmed "flights".
14 flights in the span of 6 days averages around 2.25 flights a day.
I have been busy with her the past few days.
Just today it dawned on me like how it dawned on Tony Stark when he said.. " I can fly".
This video makes it official. Until today, I can now safely say, " I CAN FLY."
Battery #17 - I CAN FLY!
Battery #18a Clear Blue Skies
It's a bit gloomy 30 minutes after.
Battery #19 - More Flying
Battery #23 - Heckler
Ah yes, someone heckling you while flying.
Here's a good example of messing with your head in the most subtle of ways. A friend can do that.
My latest video just this afternoon.
I did the Chinese tail weights mod.
First thing I noticed when I gave it a test fly, was a tail wag. I then knew it works.
This is because the gyro sensitivity was too high without the weights. I lessened the gyro gain & she now flies sweet. What happened was the tail servo now works half the load to center the tail blades. It is because the centrifugal force afforded by the weights helps in centering the blades. Overall, I noticed smoother tail control when all things were tuned right.
This mod is so easy, I highly recommend it.
Flight vid for the mod still uploading.
In the meantime, Enjoy my idle up practice in the cool moonlit night.
Battery #24 - Idle Ups
Here it is..
Battery #25b - Tail Weights Mod maiden flight
Flying in Idle up, dual rates & the tail weights mod.
Just doing more basics but with tighter turns & faster speed. Also more nose in hovers & approaches.
Also did my first 3D move, on the deck pitch pumps.hehe. Super sensitive.
I finally did it Folks!
Blades took most of the damage
Feathering shaft first of many
Did a rebuild that took me 20minutes.
Did I tell you NOT to fly indoors? Well I learned it. I got no video to show coz' I wasn't even flying.
It was that fast, first time seeing a crash. One second you're flying, in the blink of an eye, your heli is dead. No more flying.
Good I've got the parts that were damaged.
I guess I've made a full circle, I now know the feeling, it is NOT NICE. I ENGRAVED it in my head not to make the same mistake again. It was all my fault & I exactly know why. It is always AFTER that you feel how stupid & useless that was.
Now I need more parts.
Battery #27b - POST CRASH 2
OK. This is after I got too close to our Narra furniture. A stupid crash, but I learned from it. Just a quick hover to check if all is well.
*September 19, 2008
Here's what I've been doing with my heli.
I have since decreased the weights to this. The weights are very minimal, I found out that my motor heats up faster with the added weight. I think I've found a sweet spot with this setup. Still doing some test flights.
Here's a pic of the E-sky digital servo. Hacked from the Lama. My elevator TPSG9 just decided to give up while I was setting up ccpm. So I swapped the tail servo for uniform cyclic servos, then installed the E sky digital to the tail, time will tell if it will hold, I need more parts.
First wave, second wave enroute.
Battery #29 - Just glad to be Flying
Resuming flight sessions! ;D
Battery #31 - Semi-FFF
I went to the center of the course for a wider space to do FFF. It was such a rush. By the 4th pass my hands were shaking I needed to calm down to hover.
As usual, all my videos are left in RAW form to preserve the feel of the moment.
Just choose.
The full scale heli you hear on the background is a 2 seater R22 piloted by our Mayor. He just landed, probably to fetch his son, then took off again.
We've got the same flying field.
Let me just update my logs so I won't get lost with my details too.
I bought her September 04, 08'.
I got her September 05, 08', around 5 o'clock PM. I burned batteries 1 & 2 thru the night. Nice just to hear the motor & blades come alive the very first time.
September 06, 08', first thing in the morning I ran battery #3.
30 minutes after I PUT ON the training gear the very 1st time.
I then ran Battery #4 & somehow I HOVERED. ;D
This is the 2nd day that I got her.
I started to hover Sept. 6, & today is Sept. 24.
18 days later I have gone thru 31 batteries.
I have 28 flights & 1 crash.
Looking forward to future flights & new boundaries to break.
I really do hope it's the boundaries I break often & not my heli.
Happy Flying!

Sweet! - like you said, we have the same radio Carbon frames AND the gyro mounted underneath - great.
Happy flying!
Hey Tach!
I am soo happy that I have a heli. As we speak I've just finished my 4th battery, & I hovered a bit. Hihihi. I cheated. Radd would be yelling in RED CAPS!
I have dual rates for cyclic on mine, that's what it says. I haven't tried it yet though.
How's your 450? It's your backup bird I know, your primary is your rappy.
It's around the same price as a CopterX.
Gino Hello!
I think the Trex canopy fits the Wing & vise versa. Wilson says that MOST parts are Trex compatible. I'm sure what he meant was, with a little mod here, little mod there, parts will fit.
Wing has good quality parts though as from what spare parts I have, but I really wanna try those Align White Carbon blades. Also the Rappy like canopy of the KDS450S.
I'm still to add on this review guys.

Looks good!, but please try to be more gentle on the landings! I wouldn't want to land as hard as video 7 without trainng gear!
My KDS450? Just waiting for some belt tension rollers - then she'll be back in the air - weather permitting!

text: Well, here I am starting another weird thread. Apparently, some hunters have found the body of an actual Bigfoot/Sasquatch. They are supposed to reveal their findings to the press today. I am strangely interested in this. Body proves Bigfoot no myth, hunters say - CNN.com It really would not shock me to learn that the legend of Bigfoot was real. I live in British Columbia, Canada. When you see just how vast the forests are, it makes me think that I just might be possible for a large species like this to remain hidden. The panda bear was a myth for a long time as well. Of course, this could also (and more likely be) a scam or publicity stunt etc. Thoughts?

- "Don't fail me again… Admiral."
- ―Darth Vader
Firmus Piett was a human male who served in the Imperial Starfleet of the Galactic Empire during the later stages of the Galactic Civil War. At the time of the Battle of Hoth, he served as first officer on the Executor, the flagship of Lord Darth Vader, assisting Admiral Kendal Ozzel. After Ozzel committed a fatal mistake during the hunt for the Rebel Alliance, Piett was promoted to admiral and given command of Vader's flagship. Piett served in that capacity until the Battle of Endor, when the Imperial Navy confronted the Rebel Fleet around the second Death Star battle station. The admiral perished aboard his starship when Arvel Crynyd's A-wing starfighter crashed into the Executor's bridge.
Early life and careerEdit
- "You see, Piett? We should never hesitate to use the lash, when necessary—but there are moments when the lure is even more effective."
- ―Grand Moff Tarkin, to Firmus Piett
Born a male human, Firmus Piett hailed from Axxila, a planet located in the Outer Rim Territories of the galaxy. At some point, Piett joined the starfleet of Palpatine's Galactic Empire, and rose through the ranks.[1] As a junior officer under the command of Grand Moff Wilhuff Tarkin, he attended the planet Jelucan's introduction ceremony into the Galactic Empire, following its conquest eight years after the Clone Wars.[7]
Search for the RebelsEdit
In 3 ABY,[2] Piett had been made a captain. He was stationed on the Executor, a Super Star Destroyer that acted as the flagship of Darth Vader, the right-hand man of Emperor Sheev Palpatine himself. The mission of Vader's personal fleet of Star Destroyers, the Death Squadron, was to search the galaxy for the Rebel Alliance's secret base.[6]
On the Executor, Piett was subordinate to Admiral Kendal Ozzel, whom he saw as a pompous and incompetent officer.[4] Piett was notably tasked with collecting and analyzing data sent by Imperial probe droids looking for traces of the Rebels. When information came in from a probe exploring the Hoth system, Piett called out to Admiral Ozzel while Vader was present on the bridge. Vader recognized the information as a solid lead on the location of the Rebel headquarters, and he ordered the Death Squadron to set course for the icy world of Hoth.[6]
- Ozzel: "Lord Vader, the fleet has moved out of lightspeed, and we're preparing to..."
- Darth Vader: "You have failed me for the last time, Admiral. Captain Piett."
- Firmus Piett: "Yes, my Lord."
- Darth Vader: "Make ready to land our troops beyond their energy shield and deploy the fleet so that nothing gets off the system. You are in command now, Admiral Piett."
- Firmus Piett: "Thank you, Lord Vader."
- ―Firmus Piett's promotion[src]
However, Admiral Ozzel made a complete mess of the Death Squadron's approach to Hoth, taking the ships out of hyperspace too close to the system. As the Rebels were now aware of the Empire's presence, they were able to erect a defense shield over their base, preventing any orbital bombardment. Captain Piett stood at Ozzel's side when Darth Vader telekinetically strangled the admiral. With Ozzel dead, the Emperor's right-hand man promoted Captain Piett to admiral on the spot. Piett's first action as an admiral of the Imperial Fleet was to order the disposal of his predecessor's corpse.[6]
Thanks to the intervention of General Veers' ground force, the Empire managed to get the upper hand on Hoth, forcing the Rebels to evacuate. Despite the orbital blockade imposed by the Death Squadron, many enemy ships managed to fall through the cracks. Subsequently, Admiral Piett was ordered to track one of the fleeing ships, the Millennium Falcon. With that vessel and its crew of Han Solo, Leia Organa, C-3PO, and Chewbacca as bait, Vader was confident he could lure Luke Skywalker into a trap.[6]
Under Piett's command, the Executor then engaged in the pursuit of the Millennium Falcon.[6] One of the bridge crew that served under his command during the pursuit was Lieutenant Commander Ciena Ree.[7] When it transpired that the Rebel craft was hiding in the Hoth system's asteroid field, the admiral was concerned that debris would cause significant damage to Death Squadron's vessels. Vader, however, ignored Piett's advice, ordering the fleet to enter the asteroid field. Shortly thereafter, Piett received word that Emperor Palpatine himself demanded to speak with his right hand man. Piett then informed Vader, and, under orders, moved the Executor out of the asteroid field, in hopes of sending a clear transmission.[6]
To Admiral Piett's discreet distaste, Vader later assembled a motley crew of bounty hunters on the Executor's bridge, enlisting them in his track for the Millennium Falcon.[6]
Dogfight in the Hudalla systemEdit
Later, Admiral Piett assembled a group of Imperial officers including the now-Commander Ciena Ree and her friend Nash Windrider for a patrol in the outer edge of the planet Hudalla's ring. In private, Piett told Commander Ree that there were rebel spies in the planetary ring. He tasked he with ensuring that at least one of the pilots escaped into hyperspace. During the dogfight, Ciena and Nash encountered their former fellow cadet Thane Kyrell, who had joined the Rebel Alliance's Corona Squadron. Since she still loved Thane, Ciena ensured that he and most of Corona Squadron escaped into hyperspace. Following the mission, the TIE fighter pilots were reprimanded for their failure to destroy all the rebel ships. However, Piett discreetly nodded at Ciena to thank her for following his orders. Ciena later learned that the dogfight was part of an Imperial plan to lure the rebels into a trap at Endor.[7]
Death at EndorEdit
- "Intensify forward firepower!"
- ―Piett's final words
Although he failed to capture the Rebel hero Luke Skywalker at Bespin, Piett managed to escape Vader's wrath.[6] Some time later, he commanded the Imperial fleet in the Battle of Endor, where he received orders from the Emperor himself to retain the Executor and her retinue from directly engaging the rebel forces; Piett wryly cited to a fellow officer that he was told the Emperor had "something special planned", and that the ships only needed to prevent another Rebel retreat.[3]
When Han Solo and his force, who had managed to sneak under Piett's nose in a stolen Imperial shuttle, destroyed the shield generator protecting the second Death Star, the battle began to turn against the Empire. Rebel starfighters began to strafe the superstructure of the Executor, which had been personally targeted by Rebel admiral Gial Ackbar, a former personal slave to Firmus' deceased mentor, Grand Moff Tarkin. In response to the increasing threat, Piett ordered that all guns on the flagship "intensify forward firepower." This was to be his final command, however, as moments later an RZ-1 A-wing interceptor piloted by Arvel Crynyd crashed into the Executor's bridge, killing Piett and his men as they sought cover and, moments later, bringing down the systems of the ship, which allowed it to be pulled in by the gravity of the Death Star itself.[3]
Personality and traitsEdit
- "Piett... you fool."
- ―Admiral Garrick Versio, watching the demise of the mighty Executor
An ambitious officer,[4] Firmus Piett was known for his quick thinking in his ability to shift blame for his blunders.[1] After the Executor was lost at Endor under Piett's captaincy, some members of the Imperial Navy, such as Admiral Garrick Versio, judged him foolish.[8]
Behind the scenesEdit
Admiral Piett was played by Kenneth Colley in both Star Wars: Episode V The Empire Strikes Back and Star Wars: Episode VI Return of the Jedi. Piett is the only Imperial officer to survive more than one film and be portrayed by the same actor.[9]
Colley recalled that when he auditioned for the role, Irvin Kershner said to him, "'I'm looking for someone that would frighten Adolf Hitler!' And he sized me up and down and continued, 'Yes, I think you're it.'"[10]

Congratulations are in Order!
May 15, 2017
Kailyn Lowry, one of the moms featured on Teen Mom 2, has graduated from college. We've known Kail since she was first on 16 & Pregnant and are thrilled that she can finally check "getting a degree" off her list of accomplishments. Now in addition to being a New York Times bestselling author (of four books!) Kail is also a college graduate. Hey Kail—we're so proud of you!
For most teen moms, just finishing high school is a huge challenge. In fact, only 38% of girls who have a child before the age of 18 get a diploma and 30% of teen girls who have dropped out of high school cite pregnancy or parenthood as a reason. Throughout the years, we've seen Kail push herself to be the best mom she can be: she struggled to find housing after being kicked out of Jo's house, went through a few rough breakups, got married, and had a second child during her journey towards her college degree.
After six long years of studying, night classes, and balancing home and school, we're so proud of Kailyn for walking across the graduation stage! She's one of very few teen moms to do so; less than 2% of young teen mothers attain a college degree by age 30. It wasn't easy—as you can see on the show and through Kail's story—but Kailyn has set a fantastic example for young moms.
Even though she's a mom of two boys and is currently pregnant with her third baby, Kailyn has said that she wants to go back to school again to get her Master's degree. Rock on, Kail. We can't wait to see what else you accomplish!
Paige is the Communications Coordinator at The National Campaign. She works with media partners in television and publishing to help them incorporate teen and unplanned pregnancy prevention messages into their work.
She came to The Campaign after graduating Magna Cum Laude from Towson University with a Bachelor's in Mass Communication and Journalism. Paige worked at Baltimore Style Magazine for two years, wrote a bi-weekly column for Towson's newspaper, and was a contributor for an online magazine, The DC Ladies. She also runs social media accounts for several Baltimore-based businesses as a freelancer.
She shares her alma matter with Amy Schumer and Mike Rowe—not bad company to be in.

Transworld's 'Most Influential Skater of All-Time' has applied his personal touches to plenty of adidas Skateboarding product over the years. In celebrating a decade and a half with The Brand with the Three Stripes, Mark Gonzales comes through with a whole collaborative capsule, including two new footwear models and a variety of cut and sew apparel pieces Gonz himself helped to create. The adidas Gonz Pro and Gonz Slip were both inspired by the Azteca track spike worn at the 1966 Mexico City Olympics, and in turn have been made more eye-catching courtesy of graphics Mark drew by hand. Both feature elasticized gussets for easy on and off, and you can see the whole collection after the jump, which is available now at select adidas Skate retailers.

Microsoft chief under pressure in Lord of the Flies world
Almost as soon as Steve Ballmer took over as chief executive of Microsoft in January 2000, the stock crashed. It wasn't his fault; the dotcom crash pulled every tech stock down with it, including the Seattle software empire that, the previous year, had been the world's most valuable at $612-billion.
This is the sort of mistiming that has dogged Ballmer's tenure: always arriving a bit too late and overseeing a collapse of a promising lead. It happened with internet search, with tablets, with cellphones, with music players.
Ballmer last week faced calls for his removal from David Einhorn, a powerful Wall Street hedge fund manager famous for his early warnings about the weakness of doomed bank Lehman Brothers. Though sources on the company's board backed him, investors know that Ballmer does not have a free pass just because he joined in 1980 as employee number 30.
"Bill Gates is ruthless," said a fund manager at one of Microsoft's largest shareholders. "If he wanted to, he'd walk Ballmer to the [exit] door himself."
A fresh indignity came last week when after Ballmer spoke in Tokyo about the next version of Windows. He assured people that in 2012 "you ought to expect to hear a lot about Windows 8, Windows 8 slates, tablets, PCs, a variety of different form factors". But his own press office called his words "a misstatement", adding "We have yet to formally announce any timing or naming for the next version of Windows." When both the shareholders and the press office are against you, times are definitely hard.
But Ballmer is a fighter, a dealmaker who likes the satisfaction of closing a sale. His challenge is to get the unwieldy behemoth that is Microsoft to align itself with the changes in computing. While Apple has run away with iPods, iPhones and iPads, and Google has revelled in internet search and the idea of "cloud computing", the Redmond-based business has been trying to run with the twin weights of its ageing monopolies—the Windows PC and Office businesses, which each generate about $3-billion of profit every quarter—holding it back.
The stock has badly underperformed the technology-dominated Nasdaq index since 2008, when Ballmer launched a failed $48-billion bid for the website Yahoo!, languishing while other technology companies are spoken of as being in a bubble.
One ex-Microsoft executive described Ballmer's problem thus: "He's now got eight different product groups all reporting to him. Is he going to knit those together? I don't think so. And if he doesn't knit them together, how do you make sure the end price value of Microsoft is worth more than the constituent parts? Today the constituent parts are worth more separate than they are together."
Former Microsoft managers say Ballmer's problem lies in his lack of an overarching vision for where the technology world is going; that contrasts with Gates, whose vision reaches a long way, even if Microsoft became too unwieldy even for him by the time he quit day-to-day duties to run his charitable foundation.
But what about the nuclear option—that Ballmer is pushed or jumps? Scott Barnes, a former Microsoft product manager, is adamant it would have no effect: "Nothing, and I repeat nothing, would change," he said on his blog.
The problem, he says is that Microsoft products are run "as clans within a larger empire" in which each clan leader is thirsty for power, and can be promoted to take over the others' turf.
"The culture in [Microsoft] allows bullying," says Barnes. "In fact it's very Lord of the Flies at times when there is little or no direction, and worse when there is failure upon failure occurring."
One deal that may work well, though, is the $8,5-billion acquisition of internet phone call company Skype. Though it is unlikely to earn back the price paid, allied to a deal with handset maker Nokia, in which the new Windows Phone mobile OS will power Nokia smartphones from late autumn, it could be a remarkably strategic choice just as the internet and internet-enabled phones become pervasive.
One former Microsoft executive remarked recently that "when you look back with hindsight and see a completely static enterprise value for the last 12 years, you'd say [the antitrust breakup proposed by the US courts in 2000] could have been the best thing that could have happened from a shareholder perspective." Only now, he argued, are there enough interconnected pieces—Xbox, Windows Phone, Bing, and soon Skype—for there to be synergistic value. But, he added: "There's always that challenge that the break-up value is greater than the sum of its parts."
The bigger question for Ballmer is whether he can keep that challenge at arm's-length for long enough for his gambles to pay off. - guardian.co.uk

- Open
Issues in Epic
- All
- Comments
- Work Log
- History
- Activity
- Transitions
I think there are two models we can look at:
1. Page Sharing
In this model, a user creates a new page, and from the tab context menu selects "Share this page...". A dialog opens, and the user can add people (e.g. using a search/filter view), or select an existing group (e.g. friends, family, co-workers...). The user chooses OK, and each user is notified when they log into Rave of the invitation to add the shared Page. The user who created the Page is the Owner; each user they share with is by default a Viewer (read-only). However, it should be possible for the Owner to grant other users a "Can Edit" role allowing them to add, remove and move widgets.
2. Workspace Sharing
In this model, there is a higher-level entity comprising a collection of multiple pages managed by a group. New shared pages can be added as sub-pages of the top-level workspace. I'm a bit less clear on the workflow for this one, whether its the same as (1) but with sub-pages, or something conceptually quite different
Paul and I are really interested in seeing if we can develop something along the lines of model (1) in a sprint next week as it would be a good fit for a project we're working on. This wouldn't include the OpenSocial Spaces extension (I'm sure someone else could implement it later) but would include the basic functionality of sharing pages, selecting users, and extending the relevant PermissionEvaluator classes for non-Owner roles.
I've been working on the page sharing functionality described by Scott in (1) above. Rather than commit the code, I've put it up as a patch so to invite comment.
Some points...
(1) A user can share a page with another rave user. Choosing share from the page menu allows you see a dialog box where you can add new users.
(2) Once another user logs in who has a new page share, a dialog should appear asking them to "accept" or "decline" the share.
(3) For now at least - a shared page appears with a little person icon in the tab view (also it happens to be a shade of green so that its easy to identify as a shared page.)
(4) The user can remove the shared page at a later stage if they want to.
(5) The original page owner can grant and revoke page share status to each user.
I moved the pagesequencing values out of the page object and into the new pagerUser object. This allows several users to move sharedpages around within their tab sequence and have different rendersequences. (originally the rendersequencing was tied to the page object itself)
Theres still plenty more to do on it yet. (For example the 'canEdit' role isn't implemented, and locking regions/widgets to shared users)
I've added the shared pages feature to svn. This is based on the patch originally submitted here https://reviews.apache.org/r/4843/.
I'm testing the Shared Pages feature and I've got the following issues/ideas:
(1) When the owner of a Shared page collapse some widget on the page, it's not possible to the viewer to expand the collapsed widget, an error message is alerted (Forbidden) and a Java exception is thrown. But it's possible to maximize the widget... I know that the 'canEdit' feature is not implemented, but I think that expanding a widget is not an edit action (like maximizing it).
(2) As a page owner, I can share my page with all Rave users. Why not to share only with my friends? Share with all users may confuse the concept of connected people, that is important on a social environment...
Yes, it sounds as if #1 needs to be fixed, possibly a permission issue - i will look into it.
#2. Yes, although the first iteration allows you to add other rave users individually, I had envisaged that at a later stage, a user could choose 'groups' of users, perhaps one group being friends or even another user defined group of users.
#1 Collapse in Rave is persistent, which means that a non-owner Page User collapsing a widget would be editing the page. Canvas is not persistent.
#2 Ideally, it would be sharable to any object in the user's social graph. Depending how you implement the graph, it could be all users (IE in a company intranet) or the user's friends.
#1 - Ok. However, collapse/expand actions really throw Java Exceptions, while all others persistent actions do not...
#2 - Ok.
I've been thinking about point #1 above. In some cases a shared user will have access to persist the collapsed state. (this could eventually be one of the things the 'canEdit' field will allow, when implemented). In other cases a shared user who cannot persist the state, should still be able to min/restore the gadget in his/her own view, but the state would not be persisted. (also without seeing a browser alert message) I think as the action causes an 'info' type message in 'AbstractRestApi', perhaps it might be better to make it less verbose and look less like an error message with full stack trace. I have attached a simple patch to illustrate what I have in mind.
Paul, one thought I had is that we could make the "args" parameter object in the rave.toggleCollapseAction(args) function take an additional "persist" boolean property to control whether or not we should persist the action. For example something like:
var args = {};
args.data = {};
args.data.id = 1;
args.persist = false;
then at line 472 of rave.js you could change the if to something like:
if (rave.isMobile() || args.persist == false) {
} else {
// the persist code

Norway: Kongsberg Maritime Wins SAS Contract for Newly Upgraded BW Athena FPSO
Kongsberg Maritime has been awarded a contract from BW Offshore to install a new Safety and Automation System (SAS) on board the newly upgraded BW Athena FPSO. The KONGSBERG system will be installed on the vessel, which will operate on the Athena field as a result of a contract between BW Offshore, the world's second largest FPSO operator and field operators Ithaca Energy and partners.
The contract win follows a similar agreement between Kongsberg Maritime and BW Offshore in 2008, which resulted in a highly successful implementation of the advanced SAS technology on board the FPSO BW Cidade De São Vicente, currently operating for Petrobras on the Tupi field in Brazil.
BW Athena, formerly named BW Carmen, will be ready for operation on the Athena field in the Outer Moray Firth area of the UKCS during late 2011 and will be deployed for a minimum of three years with options up to eight years. In preparation for operation the FPSO vessel has been extensively upgraded with field specific equipment, including a new KONGSBERG Safety and Automation System and K-Pos Dynamic Positioning System.
Petter Fiksdahl, Project Manager, for BW Offshore comments: "During investigations to define the requirements for operation on the Athena field, BW Offshore identified the topside Safety and Automation System on the BW Athena FPSO for replacement. Our decision to award Kongsberg Maritime the contract to replace the existing topside systems on the vessel was based on a complete evaluation related to price, quality and experience".
David Shand, General Manager of Kongsberg Maritime – Offshore Aberdeen says:"We are delighted that BW Offshore have chosen to involve Kongsberg Maritime in the BW Athena upgrade project. We are confident we can bring unrivalled technology and extensive experience of implementing and supporting safety and automation system technology for floating production vessels to this project.

Yup, somebody has given the humble clothespin a "sustainable twist."
The clothespin, like the mousetrap, isn't much in need of reinvention. Effective, compact, cheap – why would anyone mess with this triumph of engineering?
Allegedly, two inventors built this newfangled version because they wanted to make it more "sustainable." As they write at Designboom:
designers idan noyberg and gal bulka have designed the 'lightly' clothespin, a sustainable twist on an everyday item that lights up the cityscape in a sea of vibrant colors. by simply securing the cloth pegs to hanging garments on the street, an internal system autonomously shines at night. each clasp has a small solar panel attached to the top of its clip, which collects sunlight throughout the day. by dusk, a sensor supplies a tiny battery pack with the cue to turn on, automatically illuminating the LEDs in color. the intelligent twist on an ordinary household chore adds a visual contribution to the streetscape while maintaining an environmentally friendly design.
But I'm calling B.S. on this claim. How on earth is adding silicon and a battery pack better for the planet than using a standard wood-and-metal clothespin? (Unless today's pins are sourced from endangered Asian teak, although I'm assuming they're not.) Commenter "Roberto" pretty much nails it on the head, writing: "Not sure what makes them 'sustainable' though. Sounds like someone just threw in the word for the heck of it – 'greenwashing' to sell a product."
But they are certainly fine-looking, mellowing out the neighborhood like lights at a beachside fish shack. Get enough of them strung window to window and you hardly need street lamps anymore; everything would be all softly rainbow-basked like presents underneath a Christmas tree. That's still possible in countries that haven't become totally reliant on the washing machine, right?
Have a look:

As Appalachian coal production continues its drastic decline, West Virginia's coal-producing counties are not only losing people as lifelong residents are forced to flee their homes in order to find work, but in many cases, they're also relinquishing millions of dollars from their budgets.
As Appalachian coal production continues its drastic decline, West Virginia's coal-producing counties are not only losing people as lifelong residents are forced to flee their homes in order to find work, but in many cases, they're also relinquishing millions of dollars from their budgets.
A coal industry representative in West Virginia says new rules proposed by federal regulators will not serve to make coal mines any safer.
Chris Hamilton, vice president of the West Virginia Coal Association, said he was disappointed to learn of rules proposed by the Mine Safety and Health Administration in regard to the pattern of violation program. Hamilton said he was most upset to see that MSHA had, in his view, ignored a number of recommendations to the rule.
One part of the rule allows regulators to consider violations that had not been finalized in assigning the mine status as a pattern of violations mine. Once a mine is considered POV, it is subject to much stricter regulation.
Hamilton said he thinks the move by MSHA impedes on a company's right to due process.
"It appears they just totally ignored our comments," Hamilton said.
Hamilton added that the idea that measure will improve mine safety was "hogwash" because the agency already has measures for shutting down a mine if there is a serious threat found in the mine. He added that, in his opinion, mines wouldn't be any safer with the introduction of the final pattern of violation rule.
Hamilton said that while he was surprised and disappointed in the agency's action, he said over-regulation has been a recent pattern of the agency. He said that while the industry takes time to review the new proposal, it may consider options to challenge the rules.
The National Mining Association had a similar reaction to MSHA's announcement today. Nancy Gravatt, senior vice president of communications at NMA, passed along a number of concerns with MSHA's rules.
First, the final rule, NMA states bears little difference to the rule proposed in Feb. 2011. The NMA wrote that the final rule skirts NMA concerns regarding due process and notice and comments concern.
"Because any unsafe conditions must be remedied under current regulations, no miner is put in harm's way if a citation is appealed," the NMA wrote. "As such, the loss of due process rights serves no safety objective."
The NMA is also concerned that operators will get put on a Pattern of Violation status "unjustifiably" with "little or no protection." The final rule would even keep mines on a POV status if it is later determined that a citation leading that mine to being placed on the rule was issued in error.
"While four percent of citations have been vacated (as stated by MSHA), 52 percent of citations for 2010-11 that were not vacated were reduced, i.e., the underlying conditions for the citation were determined to be of less-severe nature," the NMA stated, adding that it believes current MSHA enforcement tools are being used effectively.
As reported by the State Journal earlier this morning, the new rule includes the following major provisions:
Sen. Jay Rockefeller, D-W.Va., applauded the new rules, comparing them to similar action he had attempted in new mien safety law.
"It was clear after Upper Big Branch that some companies were violating lifesaving mine safety requirements over and over again," said Rockefeller. "I said then that I would work to reform and strengthen these rules so that mine operators who are repeat offenders stop shirking their responsibilities and start running mines that are fit for people to work in – and I'm keeping up that fight."
In a news release, Rockefeller pointed out that Upper Big Branch had repeatedly received violations, but was never placed on a pattern of violation notice before.
"This rule is an important step forward for improving safety in mines across West Virginia and the country," Rockefeller said. "The Department of Labor and MSHA are moving in the right direction and I thank Secretary Solis for her leadership on this issue. I'm glad to see that the new rules include some of the key reforms from my mine safety bill. Too many miners have lost their lives on the job, and I am continuing to push for my comprehensive mine safety bill – for our current and future miners, and their families. This is a preventable tragedy that no family should have to face."
Rockefeller, as of 4 p.m., has been the only member of West Virginia's delegation to issue an unsolicited response to the new rules.
Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., issued a statement at 5:15 p.m. He said in that statement a strong mining industry begins with a strong commitment to miners.
"Our coal miners are some of the hardest working people in America, and they are proud to do the heavy lifting that keeps this country strong," Manchin said in his statement. "This new rule is another step forward in making sure that we protect our miners and the integrity of our coal industry."
On a conference call with reporters Thursday afternoon, Secretary of Labor Hilda Solis said this action, and two other federal regulations released by MSHA, follow in the wake of the Upper Big Branch mine disaster. The explosion killed 29 men.
"Upper Big Branch impacted the entire mining enterprise," Solis said.
In the wake of the explosion, the public came to question MSHA's enforcement of the pattern of violation mines, rock dusting and other issues found in the Upper Big Branch mine. A federal criminal investigation of the mine explosion is still ongoing.
Solis said the POV program is designed to hold consistently bad actors responsible. It took more than 30 years since its creation before any mine had ever been put on POV status, something that didn't occur until after the explosion at Upper Big Branch.
"That's why today I am very very pleased to announce the final pattern of violations rule to strengthen MSHA's ability deal with the nation's dangerous and troubling mines and that mine operator," Solis said.
Assistant Secretary of Labor Joe Main disagreed with the coal industry. He said he thinks the rules will prevent a future disaster.
"The primary purpose of the POV rule is the restoration of safe and healthful conditions at noncompliant mines," said Main. "The final rule better achieves the goal of the Mine Act and the intent of Congress."

I bought the tube version. I didn't like this product. It was very hard to wash all the product off. I had to scrub my face very hard in order to get all the slippery product off my face. It also leaves my skin very dry but did not prevent acne. Will not buy again.

I still new to this product but I do like it as it reduced the oily-ness on my face. But 1 thing that concern me is that my face started to grow pimples. I do not whether it is one of the side effect or it is just bc of my hormones. Overall i like the product and still searching other product to reduce my acnes

I first bought this on a whim because the packaging looked cute and I wanted to try a new cleanser along with the highly raved lotion. Although the hyaluronic lotion is only so-so and I couldn't finish using that one bottle, I've been using this cleanser for a year now and restocked multiple times no matter how tempted I am to try out other cleansers.
I have combination, sensitive skin with rosacea that is dry on the surface because of harsh products I use to fight pimples e.g. benzoyl peroxide, but this cleanser does not make my skin inflamed at all. I like the mild exfoliating effect due to the acids - it makes my skin feel super soft! This is probably the only drugstore cleanser on the planet with the benefits of both AHA/BHA, got to give credit to the Japanese for their advanced skincare technology.
Definitely will keep using and repurchasing. HG status.
Edit: Sensitive skin users, do not buy the normal cleanser version, buy only the foam version! There is a significant difference in the ingredients and also results on the face - the normal one dries me out so badly and causes skin irritation while the foam one does not. Still using and loving this product after many years.

One of the products that have quickly made it into my skin care routine is the Hada Labo AHA + BHA Oil Control Face Wash.
There are a total of three versions of the cleanser, but I found that only the the oily skin version is truly effective in exfoliation. Don't be fooled by the label too, I found it's oil control abilities to be minimal. That being said, this is one of the best exfoliating product on the market that I've tried. To top it off, this was only SGD 13.50 for 130 ml.
I use it as a 10 second mask every week as that's the maximum my skin can tolerate. Trust me when I say that this product is strong. The AHA used here is glycolic acid which I'm not that crazy about, but I really believe they have added the right amount of salicylic acid to have made this so effective. The first time I've used this, my skin had this glow and it cleared some of my clogged pores too.
This effects this gives is really similar the Vichy's Normaderm Purifying Cleansing Gel ( SGD 29.00) too, it contains the same glycolic acid and salicylic acid, but for less than half the price.
This product is great for:
those who want to start on chemical exfoliation, in particular those who wants to clear the skin from the BHA or for reap the anti-aging effects from AHA.
I wrote in detail about what is AHA and recommended other AHA products here:
I also wrote all about BHA and its related products here:

I've been a loyal fan of Hada Labo and decided to try out this cleanser after reading many positive reviews. I need something not too harsh, prevents breakouts, and maybe aid a little in reducing acne marks.
I got it in tube form as I use it with my Clarisonic Mia 2 every night. It lathers beautifully and gets very soft and foamy with the Clarisonic. After washing, my skin feels squeaky clean and light. Not forgetting, it feels utterly smooth and soft - true to its name, egg shell. Ha.
For me, it's a good cleanser that does its job. Doesn't break me out as well as softens and smoothes my skin. I feel that my pores are cleaner which helps in product absorption. The exfoliating properties are very mild so I still do my usual exfoliating routine twice a week.
I have oily and sensitive skin combination so this product doesn't dry me out. Probably also because I use it once a day. Pea-sized is enough also. However, a person with dry skin may experience some tightness and dryness but nothing a good moisturiser can help :)

This is good cleanser for oily skin like mine because it does not have perfume or any other unnecessary ingredients. But I can't use it every day as it's very drying. Instead, I use it for weekly exfoliating. I wash my face with a mild facial wash, steam my face with hot towel and then I take a pea size of this hadalabo tamagohada, I rub it in my hand until it forms a firm foam then massage my face with it for like 5 minutes and then wash it all of with warm water, pat dry, put on facial mask and wash it all off with cold water. My face will be super glowing the next morning. Love it! I'm warning you though, it is so so so DRYING that you may want to take it easy.
Use the foam to work on your skin. You don't literally massage your skin but instead you rub your face with the foam. That is how japanese wash their face. They make a big fluffy but firm foam then use the foam to rub your face. So your fingertips do not really touch your face. To my skin at least, I find it works best if I use it that way.
Aaanyway, tbh this is the only hadalabo product that works for me. So overall if you know how to make it work for you this is a great product with a great price. well, great price great result : HG!

I find this cleanser very normal , nothing too special . I have combination skin and this cleanses without drying it out . I have tried better cleansers that are more moisturising or able to control my acne better .
Age: 25-29
Skin: Oily, Medium, Warm

I ran out of Clinique Liquid Facial Soap (been using it for 3-4 years), and I was thinking to replace it with something cheaper. I think I have used this up to 3 tubes and I have no negative reaction to this. This product is like a no brainer when I stay overnight and left my cleanser at home, I just grab one on the supermarket.
- Very affordable
- Removes light make up
- Skin immediately feels smooth afterwards
- Contains small amount of AHA and BHA, great for lazy person (me) who wants to exfoliate daily but feels bothered to add more routine
- Fortunately, does not break me out
- I like how they try to keep the ingredients as less and simple as possible, no annoying synthetic fruity fragrance
- Though the ingredients are simple, this isn't a mild cleanser (because of AHA/BHA)
- Drying, but nothing good moisturizer can't help
- Since you exfoliate daily, you will need sunscreen. But aren't we supposed to wear them anyway?
Age: 19-24
Skin: Oily, Medium, Not Sure
Hair: Brown, Other, Other

its not bad as it doesnt cause break outs on my acne-prone skin and its relatively good in controlling the oil production on my face. However, in terms of the exfoliating effects of the aha and bha, i didnt see anything.
Age: 19-24
Skin: Combination, Fair-Medium, Warm
Hair: Brown, Other, Other
Eyes: Brown
This is what had stopped my face from having breakouts often. Very gentle and cleans efficiently. THIS SAVED MY SKIN, so glad that i found this product!

Two nights ago we ate at Moto's significantly cheaper and odd sister Otom (moto backwards). Food is more upscale, trendy (note that I'm not using trendy in a negative sense) comfort food. Excellent though. We started with salmon ceviche. Normally you don't make ceviche out of salmon but this was incredible. Served on homemade tortilla chips, the salmon shared the same cube size as cucumber and just perfectly flavored. No fishy flavor, just fresh simple flavors.
We also started with the trio of mini-burgers served on brioche- one was with a fried quail egg on top, one was with shitakes and swiss and the other was cheddar with thick cut bacon. Great, though nothing brand new. Nice though that our burgers were served medium instead of well like some places do. The homemade ketchup was heirloom tomatoes and the mustard was a very nicely spiced simple yellow.
For entrees we had short rib ravioli and mac and cheese. Both were stunningly good, but very classic preps. The mac and cheese isn't the homestyle you might be used to, but closer to a modern take on it with panko breadcrums and while creamy, not overly so. The ravioli are large ravioli with perfectly soft meat inside.
For dessert we shared an apple crumble served in a small crock with oatmeal and brown sugar crust. Simple, tart, sweet tasty.
Total bill including 2 cocktails and 2 glasses of wine was about 110 before tip. In my mind, very very affordable.
Service was perfect as we have come to expect from Moto, though at Otom we didn't know what to expect. Waiter was friendly, not pushy, and really knew how to attend to a table. Only very very minor complaint- I really hate those stemless riedel tumblers they use for wine. Riedel should be shot for making these. Wine glasses have stem for a reason. If this is all I'm going to get bent out of shape about, we're in pretty good shape :P

George Washington on the abolition of slavery, 1786
View this item in the Collection.
Of the nine presidents who were slaveholders, only George Washington freed all his own slaves upon his death. Before the Revolution, Washington, like most white Americans, took slavery for granted. At the time of the Revolution, one-fifth of the colonies' population lived in bondage. Although most slaves were in the South, slavery was a legal institution in each of the thirteen colonies. Fourteen percent of the state of New York's population was enslaved, for example, and New York City had more slaves than any other city in the colonies except Charleston, South Carolina.
Washington gradually came to realize that slavery was immoral and contrary to the Revolutionary ideals of liberty and equality. In 1774 he endorsed a document, known as the Fairfax Resolves, which condemned the slave trade as "unnatural" and recommended that no more slaves be imported into the British colonies. Five years later, he approved a plan to grant slaves their freedom in exchange for service in the Continental Army.
Washington never spoke out publicly against slavery. But in this private letter to fellow Virginian John Mercer, dated September 9, 1786, and written at a time when he owned 250 slaves, Washington avows his dislike of the institution of slavery, an institution that violates the ideal of freedom and equality: "I never mean . . . to possess another slave by purchase; it being among my first wishes to see some plan adopted by which slavery in this Country may be abolished."
A full transcript is available.
With respect to the first. I never mean (unless some particular circumstances should compel me to it) to possess another slave by purchase; it being among my first wishes to see some plan adopted by, [inserted: The Legislature by] which slavery in this Country may be abolished by slow, sure, & imperceptable degrees.

Líderes de Salud is El Pueblo's signature leadership development and adult engagement program working to improve Latinas' and Latinos' health and health access. Through Líderes de Salud, El Pueblo trains Latina and Latino community members as lay health advisors, or promotores/as[1], who in turn engage other community members in taking action to improve health-related services and overall access to these services. The promotor/a model is a strength-based, peer learning, and leadership development methodology that capitalizes on existing familial, neighborhood, and social networks. The role of the promotor/a extends far beyond the disease-related functions of community health to a passion for human rights and social justice[2].
El Pueblo's Líderes de Salud was first developed and implemented in 2004, and since then, over 150 promotores have been trained. In 2014, El Pueblo is revamping the program and will continue offering ongoing leadership development and engagement opportunities to all community members interested in improving the health and well-being of our communities.
If you are interested in supporting our promotores and promotoras program, contact: Florence M. Simán at 919 835-1525 or via email at: firstname.lastname@example.com
