Transcat Electronic Unit (for Small Cat Transcat Door only)
Want to make your Transcat Cat Door more Secure? Simply add an Electromagnetic unit and allow only the pets YOU CHOOSE to come and go.
How does it work?
Your Dog or Cat wears a small magnet cushioned in a soft, light weight holder attached to any type of collar. The Electronic unit is positioned behind the flap which remains locked until unlocked by the special collar attachment coming within range. A sensor inside the electronic unit will release the Transcat door latch when your pet approaches, allowing your pet to enter. The latch will remain open for approximately five seconds to give them plenty of time to enter.
What is included?
1 x electronic unit
1 x Magnet & Holder in either black or white (additional collar adapters are available)
The Transcat Electronic Upgrade is designed to deter nuisance Cats from entering your home. A latch is positioned behind the flap which remains locked until unlocked by the electronic unit.
This Transcat Electronic Unit is ONLY for use with the Small Transcat Cat Door, not the Pet Door.
The digital electronic unit consists of a black box that sits just below the flap on the Transcat Clear Cat Door with the bulk of the box on the outside. The cat wears a small magnet in a soft light holder that fits on a collar. A sensor in the electronic unit will release the cat door latch when your cat approaches, allowing your cat to enter. The latch will remain open for approximately 5 seconds to give your Cat time to enter.
The Electronic upgrade comes with an included magnet so either black or natural.
If your cat procrastinates and does not push the flap within 5 seconds the unit resets itself and becomes available to another changing magnetic field. In practice cats soon become accustomed to how the unit works.
There is no restriction on exiting the cat door (unless locked manually). The electronic unit only restricts access, so you can rest easy knowing only the pets you have allowed access, get access!
Can the Transcat Electromagnetic Adapter unit be used with both the cat and dog door?
No, sorry. The Transcat Electronic Adapter Unit can only be used on the Smaller Cat door.
Which batteries do I need for the Adapter?
AA batteries are required for use. Four new alkaline batteries will last for approximately 12 months with one pet.
Are batteries included with the Adapter unit?
As people have preferences about the batteries they use, they are not included.
How will I know when the batteries are starting ot lose power?
When the batteries start to lose power the unit will emit a beeping sound when the door is operated. If the batteries are not changed the unit will begin to beep continuously until the batteries run flat.
How is the unit installed?
Instructions are included with the kit, and do involve a little alteration to the door.
Can I choose the magnet colour?
If you prefer black or white, please let us know and we will do our best, as the magnets are provided with the units without colour informationand colours are provided randomly.
Step 1
The electronic unit (black box) fits onto both the Cat Door & the supporting ring. If you purchased both the Cat Door and the electronic unit together the place where the electronic unit fits may have already been prepared. If not, you will need to note the following instructions.
If you have an existing Transcat Cat Door unscrew the four nuts that hold your Cat Door in place. (They should be only finger tight but you may need a spanner or pair of pliers). The bolts will then fall loose and your Cat Door can be taken from where it was fitted.
A section of plastic has to be broken out from both the Cat Door and the ring that holds it against the glass. (This is where the electronic unit will go.) This section of plastic is next to the magnet on the frame of the Door and in a corresponding position on the ring.
To remove these two pieces of plastic use a pair of pliers to grab hold of the pieces that have to be broken out. (You will not need them again so do not worry about marking them). Alternatively a hacksaw could be used to cut down each side and then apply pressure to twist the piece of plastic out.
Once these two pieces have been broken out you will need to scrape off any loose material with a sharp knife.
Before re-assembling the Cat Door try fitting the electronic unit onto the Cat Door frame. The larger rectangular part goes on the outside, ie. the side that has the writing on the flap. The unit should fit snugly into the space provided. If it does not fit it may be necessary to scrape a little more with the sharp knife.
Step 2
To install the batteries remove the battery cover, using a coin if necessary in the slot underneath the unit. Gently slide the battery cartridge out and fill it with four AA size alkaline batteries. Replace the cover firmly.
The sensor in the unit responds to a changing magnetic field and so moving the unit will often activate the sensor because the magnetic field around the unit will have moved. It is therefore important to put the unit down on a table or bench or in the Cat Door once the batteries have been connected.
The unit may now be fitted to the Cat Door (when installed) by sliding it onto the Cat Door frame while holding the flap open. (The part of the unit that holds the batteries must be on the outside).
Thread the collar magnet, supplied, onto your Cats collar. The magnet should be positioned under your Cats chin but do not be concerned if the magnet moves from that position. If you have more than one Cat additional magnet and holders are available from your retailer.
The unit does not need testing. Provided the batteries have been fitted correctly your unit will be ready to respond to the magnet on your Cats collar.
Non-glass installation
If your Transcat Cat Door is fitted into a material which is more than 6mm thick (such as a wooden panel or door) it will be necessary to use a 3-6mm thick supporting material such as plywood to place the Cat Door into before re-fitting it back into your panel door. This is because the unit requires no more than 6mm thickness to slot into.
Double Glazing
It is not possible to fit the electronic unit into double glazing if the hole in the glass is the standard 267mm. However, for new double glazing installations the hole size should be 275mm. This will allow the electronic unit to be fitted.
Any retailer that sells Transcat products is able to obtain spare parts. The Transcat electronic unit is the only product that has a specific warranty, because of the complexity of the product.

Planning the Perfect Wedding Favour
Whether you call them bonbonniere like the French, bomboniere as the Italians do or koufeta, as they are known in Greece, wedding favors are a charming way to thank your guests for participating in your wedding day. What's more, your friends and family will appreciate an eternal memento of the love you share for each other.
With so many options to choose from with your wedding favours, a bride and groom are only limited by their imaginations and their budget! So where do you start?
Personalise your wedding favours
Whether it's a DIY gift or an extravagant treat, it's important to select something that has meaning and is memorable. Choose favors and packaging that co-ordinate with your wedding theme and colours (such as pink paper fans for your Asian-inspired wedding theme or spectacular sea shells to complement your seaside wedding), or that share the story of your romantic journey as a couple (think glass sailboat tea light holders because he proposed to you on a yacht or playing cards because you're 'lucky in love' and you're off to Las Vegas for your honeymoon).
Double-duty wedding favours
For couples on a budget, favors can also be used as table decorations. Picture glimmering tea lights nestled in delicate candleholders or frosted glass photo coasters displaying the beaming bride and groom. Alternatively, give one gift per couple by placing the wedding favour between their two dinner plates, labelling it with the couple's names (stick to one gift per person for single friends).
Pretty presentation
You can always judge a favor by its cover! Your guests will appreciate a prettily packaged favor, so take the time to present your gifts in a style that suits your wedding theme. Choose packaging that co-ordinates, rather than matches with your theme, so that the favor doesn't get lost in the setting. Your presentation can be as simple as a silk ribbon or clear cellophane, or as decadent as wedding favour boxes printed with your names and wedding date.
Buying bomboniere
Don't leave planning until the last minute! If you're having your bomboniere made for you or if you're ordering in large quantities, you need to order about 4-6 weeks in advance. If you want the best selection of products available, it's always a good idea to start planning early. It also means rather than last minute stress, you can relax with a glass of champagne and a massage rather than tying hundreds of fiddly ribbons!
Bargain bomboniere
Favors can cost anywhere from $1 to $20 per guest, and are almost always cheaper when bought in bulk. Spend time doing your homework, flick through bridal magazines, scour online resources and check out your local craft stores and chocolatiers.
Gift giving
You've found the perfect favor and wrapped each one beautifully. Now, how do you give them to your guests? The most popular way to present wedding favors is to place your token of appreciation at each place setting. If you don't want the favors to take pride of place on your table, then group them on a special table and ask guests to take on as they leave the reception. Alternatively, ask your waiting staff to deliver them on silver trays after the cake has been served.
Or, take the time to personally hand out each favor to each guest as they leave the reception - that way you'll be sure to thank everyone personally for being part of your special day.

If there's one thing we know about at Dream Girl towers, it's long hair. So, we are more than delighted to see extra-long hair extensions showing up on catwalks and red carpets in 2017. Hey, Nicki Minaj even worse hair extensions down to her ankles this month!
Whether it's sleek and straight, or full, thick with plenty of texture, or natural hair to its fullest and most gorgeous, long hair is the stuff of dreams: from the fairy tale princesses of our childhoods to modern day dragon taming warrior queens, there can't be many girls who haven't imagined how amazing it would be to have the longest of long hair.
But, with long hair comes great responsibility, and there are a few things you should bear in mind before you commit to waist length hair extensions. (SPOILER ALERT: You'll still totally get them done)
You've made up your mind and you go for it. Lengths of gorgeous silky natural hair extensions are waiting to transform you into the glamour goddess you've always known was there, in just a few hours. That's right, your chosen look can take several hours to achieve. Sitting in the salon as the extra–long extensions are bonded to your hair, you may want to drift off, or read that magazine cover to cover for the fourth time. You're literally in this for the long haul, so you persevere, it will all be worth it in the end. You can go for clip-on hair extensions, if you haven't got the time, but if you're going super-long, you want to go super-luxurious as well, am I right?
Once your hairstylist releases you from the salon chair, the first thing you might notice is a slight change to your centre of gravity. Having hair extensions on this scale, adds extra weight to your scalp, resulting in pulling of your natural hair. This dragging can contribute to increased tension and can give you headaches, but oh, look at how your hair swooshes along your back. Nothing's going to stop you now.
As hair extension specialists, we always recommend a thorough hair care routine to keep your new hair in great condition. With extra-long locks there's only one thing for it, and that's to brush. As you flick, shake and toss your hair around over the course of a day, your extensions are prone to tangles. Getting into the good habit of brushing frequently will help to keep knots to a minimum, and when it comes to brushing extensions too much is never enough.
When you first pictured yourself with long, long hair, chances are you also thought of intricate braids and pretty, bo-ho festival styles that would make the A-List green with envy. But don't be surprised when all you can muster is a simple plait or double braid to keep your strands in check, styling all that extra hair is hard work. Avoid over washing your extensions, stay away from heat styling, and treat yourself to a conditioning treatment. And, don't forget to brush…
So, even after the mind (and bum) numbing application, the brushing, the dragging headache inducing weight, the brushing, the knots, the brushing, countless zip trappings, the brushing, all that will matter in the end is that you look fabulous, turning heads wherever you go.
So, yeh, super long hair extensions are so worth it.

Rebellion Games has just discounted the visually stunning action game Joust Legend today to coincide with a major update that allows players to customize their players and their horses, in addition to providing upgradable in-app purchases of complete sets of equipment that can be added at the users discretion. It will now be free for a full week, from December 6 to the 13th.
Rebellion CEO, and champion jouster Jason Kinglsey (thank you very much) alludes there is much more in the works…
We've just started out with Joust Legend – it was a fun and challenging project for our team, and the positive reaction to the game was even greater than we hoped for. Today's update is just a small step towards some great plans we've got – getting new players into Joust Legend and offering them new ways to play
I just downloaded this game and started playing it for the first time, and I was thoroughly impressed. Not only was the addictive gameplay a huge plus, but the immersive, visually stunning graphics were more than I anticipated from most mobile games.
Designed for both the iPhone and the iPad, Joust Legend not only supports devices as old as the iPhone 3G and original iPad, but it also includes GameCenter, and my personal favorite, iCloud support. There is nothing better than being able to pick up where you left off on another iOS device!
Don't let this deal pass you up. Get on over to the App Store now, and get it while it's still free. One word of caution, though–in app purchases are very tempting, and can add up quick at $5 or more each.

There isn't a query about it that persons are more acquainted with Real Estate than some other product or commodity. With the appearance of the web, everyone is an knowledgeable. I haven't got a problem with that. There's nothing improper – and everything proper – about doing all of your homework on what will be the biggest buy you ever make. Do your homework after which, name a Realtor. No matter how much you've got educated your self, your Realtor has sources and data that you probably do not. Reap the benefits of this valuable free service.
Occasionally I run across clients who've future plans to have a website constructed home on their property, but in the interim they want to live on the land through the process. So within the interim they purchase a cell home and stay on the land until the construction of their new house is completed. This affords them the opportunity to either construct the house themselves, or enjoy the building processes by a Building Contractor. Once their website constructed house is accomplished, they both promote the mobile residence, hire it out or home a relative-if the zoning laws require it. Many jurisdictions won't enable a second dwelling on a property, so in case your intention is to leave the cellular residence the place it sits, make sure the county will allow it.
Get free list of corporations hiring field inspectors see beneath for Field Service Reps are needed in Property Preservation home inspection Services. Forgive me for saying so but it surely almost sounds too good to be true. My address and data is in my resume and canopy letter. I hope you'll promise us to care for the house as the monthly hire is all utilities included. A short rationalization about the way you intent to handle the condo in addition to your expertise in renting will probably be appreciated.
You are proper Molometer. There are plenty of empty houses in the marketplace, but when they are too dear for individuals, then new homes shall be too. I have lots of ideas about methods to cure the housing shortage, and most of them revolve round restoring MIRAS for first time buyers, and implementing rent caps to discourage newbie purchase-to-letters thus lowering the burden on local councils who typically need to pay extraordinary and extortionate rents for social housing out of the public purse.
Which may sound loopy, because if you purchase immediately for $100,000 and promote it later for $one hundred twenty five,000, it seems to be profitable, right? Not essentially! An attention-grabbing truth about Pahala Sugar Mill was in 1970 when there was the first gas shortage in Hawaii, a fella by the identify of Bob Shleser had proposed an idea to Doc Buyer, the CEO of C Brewer Sugar Firm, to convert the Pahala Sugar Mill into producing Ethanol gas from sugarcane.

Aruba Advertising Campaign Posters
I was asked by Lowe New York to work on a set of posters for the beautiful island of Aruba. The subjects were selected from inhabitants, rather than professional models and then asked to provide me with samples of their handwriting. Taking these samples as a starting point I developed a style of lettering combined with spot illustrations for each poster that reflects something of their personalities and interests. The idea was to 'get inside their heads', letting us experience a little of each of their lives on this idyllic island. This personalised approach to the poster campaign is in keeping with it's central theme: 'ARUBA - 90, 000 FRIENDS YOU HAVEN'T MET YET.' These large format posters can be seen throughout the US on subways and bus shelters.

A number of years we ran an AQ course in France. I got to travel with the candidates for a short period of time to see that everything was up to our standards in the program. It was a tough gig.
Here are some shots from that trek.

Over the past few weeks I have spent hours locked up in a hotel meeting room with my boss. We found lots of time to chat about our common love of travel. France has a place in her heart. With all of our conversations I decided to revisit my one trip to France for my Travel Tuesdays post this week.

This picture tells the tale of two vineyards which sit side-by-side in Bordeaux.
The land cannot help but tell the story. On the left, totally organic farming with soils full of life. On the right, chemical driven farming using Monsanto roundup, where the soils look parched and hard. Choose.
Woulr you rather drink wine made from the grapes grown in the left vineyard or the right?

This week's Photo Hunt theme is unknown.
When I see graffiti like this I often wonder what ever became of the folks who visited the site back in 1850. . . of course, it is unknown. Of course, me being me, and if I have the time, I make up a story in my mind.
By the way, this is the site where I spied that 163 year old graffiti.

This week's Photo Hunt theme is 'zany'.
I thought this display at the market in Avignon was zany.

The group had five hours of class so I had some free time. During the free time I wasn't feeling all that ambitious – what with a combination of this darn cold and the jet lag. I was content just to wander Montpellier visiting some of the sites, relaxing in a tree canopied cafe, popping into interesting looking shops . . . just going with the flow.
There was a small market today and I have never been able to resist the call of a market in Europe! I'm always interested both in what is for sale as well as what people are buying. This market had the usual mix of fruit and veg, clothing, shoes, linens, bags, cheese, herbs, olives, dried fruits, spices, and meat. A bit of everything!
It's funny how unihibited people can be in Europe – one older woman wanted to try a blouse on so she just stripped down to her bra and pulled the blouse on. No one looked, batted an eye, took a photo to tweet, nor called the cops. I can't imagine that happening back home!
Mind you, she had likely been at the beach the day before exposing a whole lot more . . .
The fresh fruit and vegetables available looked amazing . . .
Of course, when I see something like this I want to buy them and head for a kitchen. Impossible in a hotel. SIGH
There was a bread and pastry guy selling wonderful looking things made with organic flour. Conscious of my quest to find the perfect croissant while in France I bought one for research purposes. I think I found what may be the best croissant I have ever eaten. It was brilliant! Crisp, buttery, flakey, airy . . .MMMM
The main square was busy today – I decided that the section which was full of trees looked more inviting that the section that was open to the sun. Il fait très chaud aujourd'hui et il avait l'air plus frais sous les arbres. Likely it was all in my head but perception is everything n'est pas?
Imagine my surprise when I noticed a group who appeared to be living in the trees! One of the market vendors wandered by with a cart of drinks, when he was under the tree houses an order was called out to him, he called back the cost, money was dropped down, followed by a basket in which he placed the order. The tree house version of the drive through.
As I headed back to the hotel I noticed this young one enjoying the fountain.
I have to tell you – it was all I could not to hop in the fountain myself!!!

You want a completely intact Roman temple from the 4th Century BC? No problem. You want a perfectly preserved Roman amphitheatre right in the centre of the city (so impressive it was used as the setting for the film, Gladiator)? Not only can Nîmes boast both those things, but it's also just the right size for exploring on foot.
Smaller than Montpellier and Toulouse, you can easily get round Nîmes in a short period of time and enjoy the car-free centre of town which oozes charm at every turn.
Originally known as Nemausus, the town was a jewel in the Roman crown. The town was laid out in true Roman fashion following a grid pattern and had its drinking water supplied by a 50km long canal (comprising the Pont du Gard which we'll visit tomorrow).
Nîmes's other major claim to fame is that it was the birthplace of denim, which originally meant "de Nîmes", or "from Nîmes". In the early 1900s the town's merchants exported the cloth to the United States in order to make sails for ships, tarpaulins and workmen's trousers. In 1870, a Bavarian immigrant by the name of Levi Strauss used this cloth to make trousers for the trailblazers opening up the Wild West – made in Genoa (hence, the origin of the word "jeans") of "de Nîmes" cloth, one of the world's best known garments was born. Now how is that for a wee bit o'trivia?
While we were in Nimes we saw the Maison Carré. Dedicated to Emperor Augustus, this Roman temple dates from the fourth or fifth Century BC and is one of the best preserved anywhere in the Roman world. Used over the centuries as horse stables, a meeting chamber and as an archive, today it houses a small museum and bookshop.
Another Roman remnant in Nimes is les Arènes. Inspired by the Coliseum in Rome with two stories of vaulted arches, this is one of the most intact amphitheatres to be found anywhere in the world today. It has seating capacity for an amazing 20,000 people over 34 tiers and is used for bull fights, pop concerts and sporting events.
Unfortunately we didn't have time to visit the Carré d'Art Nîmes's museum of contemporary art sits proudly opposite the Maison Carré. Its glass and chrome façade are the work of British architect, Sir Norman Foster, as part of an ambitious plan by local worthies to regenerate the city. The building was stunning . . . one of the list of things to do when I return to this area.
On the way back to Montpellier the bus veered off of the highway and headed into the country . . . waaaaaay into the country on those lovely one-way roads that some called 'white roads' because your knuckles grip the steering wheel of your car so tightly they go white. Imagine that in a HUGE bus. Happily I was a passenger.
Our destination was Château d'Or et de Gueules. Grapes have been grown here for more than 100 years but the chateau has only been producing their own wine for 14 years. The name comes from the family crest of Diane de Puymorin, with its colours reflecting the personality of the wines she produces - gold ('Or' in French) to signify the depth and fullness of the southern sun and warmth, red ('Gueules' in old French) for the character, power and round.
What a treat it was to listed to Diane describe her winery and what makes the wines unique.
She described the soil and growing conditions that create this unique appellation and then took us into the cellar where we learned the production from initial press to bottling/corking/labelling. All of that was great information but we really were interested in tasting some amazing wines
Talk about happy AQ course participants! At ETFO we work hard and we play hard. The reward for 3 hours of classes this morning was a visit to Château d'Or et de Gueules. A fair trade if you ask me.
Diane also provided snacks - cheese, bread, and olives for us to nibble on while we tasted the 6 wines she had selected.
People liked the wines so much that there was a long line to purchase . . . rather than wait in line I popped out to see what I could see . .
Some were visiting the winery horses.
Others were wandering the vineyards themselves. Yes, there really are ETFO AQ participants standing in the vines in that shot!
There was still time and I wasn't interested in joining the bus driver who was watching Batman en Francais dans le autobus so I walked back down the lane to a beautiful field of sunflowers that we saw.
Ahhh . . .
Here is my favourite shot of the day. One of our participants has her one-year old son traveling with us - we have taken to baby Thomas - he has become the group's baby! No this is NOT Thomas' mother . . . love Thomas in one arm and the case of vin in the other! *smile*
It was a quiet group heading back to Montpellier. Between the jet lag, course work, end-of-year-teacher-exhaustion, wine, and walking we were exhausted!
Tomorrow the group was five hours of instruction and then free time to explore Montpellier some more.

My lord - travel days suck, don't they?
If it weren't for the fact that you're heading someplace fabulous one would likely not make it through. Generally I'm just traveling with friends and family - I feel a bit of responsibility this time out since we have 15 teachers and their family/friends in our group.
That is likely why Charles de Gaulle was such a challenge yesterday. It's bad enough that I was exhausted after a long flight from Toronto with two chatty seat companions next to me (in fairness to them I was chatty with them to start - I blame cold medication for breaking my 'ignore those you're sitting with on a plane' rule) and the effects of this cold but to then heard 21 women and children through de Gaulle was hard work. There is no other word for it.
When we got to Montpellier we collectively looked rather bedraggled. I could use other words to describe us but it wouldn't be fair. Having be on the road for 15 hours and awake for the better part of 37 we were a titch rough around the edges.
We were to meet our guide, Annie, outside the luggage collection area. Of course she was no where to be found. I went outside the airport and found a large bus - 'surely that was ours?' . . . Annie was inside. She rushed out, gathered everyone up, and got our luggage and people loaded on the bus.
A shot while later we arrived at our hotel - the Mercure Montpellier Antigone. The hotel isn't one I would normally select for myself . . . it's a bit too modern and away from the historical centre for my tastes but it's very nice. They have a large. well-equipped conference room for the course sessions, the dinning room is great, and I'm loving the free wifi.
Christine asked the group working on their course to join her at 4:00 to start their lessons. I was a bit worried about how that would work but everyone showed up on time looking refreshed after their shower.
Class flew by and soon there was free time prior to our first group dinner. I had a choice - nap of wander. Those who know me know what won out.
Yes, I wandered, with my trusty camera in hand.
Montpellier, in spite of being the fasted growing city in France, really is special. My sense is that very few people outside France understand just what a fantastic city this is - certainly there were few tourists about yesterday. When I got to the historical centre yesterday I discovered broad boulevards lined with shady plane trees, a huge car-free central square laid out in the 1700s surrounded by elegant balustraded buildings, and even a vast triumphal arch.
To some extent it reminds me of Torino in Italy . . . without the Alps in the distance, the Savoy palaces, and all of those wonderful porticoes. In the historical centre I found elegant buildings with delicate metalwork on the balconies. . . . trees and flowers everywhere . . . fountains . . .
I'm reminded yet again that we just don't understand the concept of public spaces in North America. Sure, one sees glimmers of hope but they are more often than not an after thought rather than a valued part of the planning. I'm looking forward to hanging out in the main square and just watching the people enjoy the human interaction that happens in a well-laid out space.
At one point on my walk I heard some beautiful music. When I got closer I found this guy playing the harp . . .
I LOVE street musicians in Europe. The harp itself was a work of art. The music itself was brilliant. But the best part was the reaction of the crowd. . . young children danced about and you could see the adults relax when they got in range of the music as they rushed to and fro as adults often do on their mission.
I was a bit worried about finding the hotel again - setting out as I often do when I am first in a new city knowing where I wanted to go but having NO clue as to where I started from and where I needed to return! Happily I made it back to the right spot in time for a glass of the crisp rose wine the region is famous for before meeting the group dinner.
I can't believe that I took no photos of dinner!
It was a great meal in the hotel restaurant. We started with a salad of tomatoes, cured ham, and shaved cheese. The main course was roasted salmon on a bed of vegetables and rice. For dessert fresh raspberries on a cloud of lemon custard.
People were flagging by 9:00 so it was off to bed . . .

Justice and Human Rights in Afghanistan (UNDP)
ATR conducted face to face interviews with more than 3,000 respondents in four provinces to better understand dominant perceptions of the justice systems in Afghanistan – both formal and customary – and illuminate the origins of those perceptions. Through a questionnaire of over 70 questions, ATR conducted a rigorous analysis of all aspects of the population's relationship with the justice system. Project partner Lapis then utilized the data gathered to inform the design of an effective communication strategy with which the Ministry of Justice will use to engage with the population with the goal of increasing public faith in the formal justice system.

Ford Fusion Drives Itself Through Arizona Night
Call it a car with night vision goggles.
Ford engineers working on the company's autonomous car technology recently succeeded in making a self-driving Ford Fusion lap its Arizona Proving Grounds in complete darkness, using laser radar, or Lidar, as its guide.
While Lidar is a standard feature of most self-driving car gadgetry – along with traditional radar and cameras – the test was meant to specifically highlight how an autonomous vehicle might operate in a situation that many humans find nerve-wracking. Most self-driving cars are tested during daylight hours so all of their electronic systems can contribution to the process.
As autonomous vehicles creep into our automotive future, the biggest hurdle for automakers won't be scientific but rather psychological. Hence the Arizona test.
"We take any opportunity we can to teach our future (self-driving car) customers about the technology so they can learn to trust it," says Jim McBride, Ford's technical lead for autonomous vehicle development.
During its recent night drive, the autonomous Ford Fusion drove with no headlights. Instead of using onboard cameras to plot its course again pre-loaded 3D maps, it used data collected by beams of laser light shot out into the desert. On-board computers instantly concluded where the car was in relation to the landscape data provided by those laser scans.
Safety drivers in the Fusion wore military-grade night vision goggles in order to monitor the car's behavior. A video produced by Ford of the evening training mission used military motifs to describe the action.
Ford recently announced it would be tripling the number of autonomous cars it would be testing to 30 this year, some of which will begin driving on California roads. Ford has a Silicon Valley outpost in Palo Alto that will host that region's cars. Tests are also being conducted at Mcity, a faux city for automotive testing just outside of Ann Arbor, Mich.
Google is also expanding its self-driving car test program. Last week, the company added the Phoenix area to existing test programs in Kirkland, Wash., Austin, Texas and its home base of Mountain View, Calif.
Google has said it expects self-driving cars to become consumer ready by 2019. Ford autonomous car chief Randy Visintainer thinks it's more like 2020 or 2021, "but the timeline is clearly accelerating."
Visintainer says the most critical component of self-driving cars will be a series of technological redundancies that ensure that if one system fails, another is there to back it up. That's the same principle used for the design of airliners.
"Today, with a lot of driver-assist features on cars if the system fails or doesn't understand what's happening, the human is there to back it up," says Visintainer. "But to truly go autonomous, you have to develop systems that can take the place of the backup human. And that's what we're working hard on."

Mets reliever Drew Smith, who seemed on track to be in the Opening Day bullpen, needs Tommy John surgery, manager Mickey Callaway said Monday.
Smith, who had been sent back to New York to be evaluated by team doctors, is out for the season.
The 25-year-old Smith had been solid so far in Spring Training, tossing 4.0 scoreless innings while walking three and striking out four.
With Smith down, it opens the door for one of the other bullpen competitors to make the team.
Edwin Diaz, Jeurys Familia, Justin Wilson, Robert Gsellman, and Seth Lugo are locks for the bullpen if healthy, and Luis Avilan (as a second left-hander to complement Wilson) has pitched exceptionally well this spring and is a near-lock.
That leaves one or two more spots in the bullpen, depending on whether the Mets carry seven or eight relievers on Opening Day. And with Smith out, it could open the door for a pitcher like Tyler Bashlor or Hector Santiago (or perhaps both) to make the team.
Rule 5 pick Kyle Dowdy could still have a shot as well, but he has struggled badly, allowing seven runs (six earned) in 4.1 innings.
The hard-throwing Bashlor, 25, has allowed one run on five hits in 6.0 innings, while walking four and striking out two.
The 31-year-old Santiago, who has allowed one run on four hits while walking one and striking out eight in 5.0 innings this spring, would give the Mets a third left-hander (assuming they carry Avilan).

Great Day!
Today's weather was a welcome respite from our early, harsh winter, and we took advantage of it. After making a holiday exchange at the mall, my youngest son and I walked at nearby Lake Sedgewick and Centennial Park in Orland Park, Illinois.
We were not the only ones out and about. We saw walkers, bikers, and many ice skaters at the outdoor rink.
We also had a hawk fly-over. What a graceful flyer!
I only have a few days left to finish off my 2013 resolution! It was great to walk outdoors today. Both my son and I really enjoyed ourselves.

In this series, we'll look deeper into some of the projects on Behance.net that were especially admired in our community. This time, we spoke with Bureau Rabensteiner, an Innsbruck, Austria based graphic design studio. Their designs range from thermo sensitive business cards to branding bakeries. We spoke to them about their recent hotel branding project for the Trofana Alpin.
What was your inspiration for this project?
The Trofana Alpin was the very first hotel in the winter sports resort of Ischgl (a small village in Austria). The hotel is family-owned and builds the foundation of the von der Thannen family history and tradition—a fact that turned this project into something personal and very close to our hearts.
Can you describe your process in creating this project?
The client emphasized their family history and how everything started out with a humble Bed & Breakfast. We were also provided with a number of historical items related to the von der Thannen family history, like an old photo archive. After rethinking the project we came up with a branding concept that referred to the origins of their family business. We redesigned the look and feel of the brand with a focus on the von der Thannen family's exemplary ability to balance tradition with modern convenience and understated luxury.
Did anything interesting happen as a result of the success of this project? (fans contacting you, job opportunities, blogs picking it up, etc).
Yes, many people have contacted us, for very different reasons, because of our projects on Behance. Some have questions concerning type, papers, photography etc., while some very nice ones simply get in touch to tell us how much they like our work. Ultimately though, it turned out that Behance is a really good platform for receiving serious requests.
We were also lucky to get an immediate feature on Design made in Germany an important German design blog. Also Page Online, one of Germany's graphic design magazines, featured us within an article. We are really thankful that a lot of other bloggers helped us by sharing our work in recent years. That was more than we could have hoped for.
Did you expect it to be as popular as it's been on The Behance Network?
We didn't expect Trofana Alpin to get appreciated so many times within such a short timespan. That was an amazing experience. It's great to see how people react after seeing our work, and how they feel and think about it.
We've had the opportunity to learn from other projects being featured on Behance, such as Meier Seefeld and N. Daniels. So we got some additional insight into what draws attention. In the field of branding showcases we realized that we have to go beyond stationery—besides a strong base we needed to create some extras to gain people's curiosity. It's always thrilling to make a new project public on the network. It's like testing it on a highly qualified audience.
Do you feel that this project is "done" or is there anything you'd like to improve on or change in the future?
Of course, there is always room for improvement. But the most important thing is to help the client to create a unique atmosphere that their guests can sense and enjoy, one that leaves behind a special, long-lasting impression. If you see it from this point of view, it isn't just about getting the spacing of a typeface 100% right!

If an employer has an annual enrollment period while a member is covered through COBRA, the plan must allow the person on COBRA to take advantage of the annual enrollment period to the same extent as the non-COBRA plan members. Therefore, if an active employee could add additional coverage during the annual enrollment period, so can the person covered through COBRA.

"It is a great event to get pupils working collaboratively and it reinforces the importance of learning about languages and other cultures."
Information for Schools
Euroquiz is an annual project open to all P6 pupils across Scotland, which sees teams of four working together to broaden their knowledge of Europe and the wider world. Subjects covered include languages, history, geography, sport, culture and European affairs. Heats take place in every local authority from January to March 2020, with the winning teams from all areas going forward to the National Euroquiz Final held in the Debating Chamber of the Scottish Parliament in June 2020.
Euroquiz creates an enthusiasm for learning, developing pupils' ability to work in teams and communicate effectively, ultimately increasing their confidence and range of core skills. Euroquiz is run by the Scottish European Educational Trust (SEET) and heats are organised in collaboration with each local authority area. SEET works alongside local authorities and schools by providing teachers with the guidance and resources to support the development of confident language learners under 1+2 and outward looking engaged citizens through LfS.
How to Enter
- Each school may enter one team of four contestants. Substitutes may attend the heat but will only be allowed to take part if one of the team members has to withdraw.
- To enter your team, please complete the Registration Form for schools and return to your local authority Euroquiz organiser. All schools in Scotland will receive this information directly from their local authority organiser. If you have not received a form or do not know who your local organiser is, please get in touch with SEET: email@example.com
- There will be no charge for entering Euroquiz
- Teachers will be required to help with marking during the heat.
- Travel costs to the heat will need to be covered by the school or local authority. Support may be available from the Scottish European Educational Trust towards the travel costs for the winning teams attending the final in Edinburgh.
Preparing Your Team
- Resources are all available to access for free online and can be downloaded. In the past we have been able to offer free hard copies to schools via the European Commission Office in Scotland. However, this office has now closed and we are working hard to find an alternative solution.
- Past papers are available on the Euroquiz Resources tab of the SEET website to help prepare your team.
- The majority of the questions in the heats will be taken from the materials and recommended websites listed on the Resources Sheet, which can be accessed here page of the SEET website.
- At the heat, questions will be presented on PowerPoint, and pupils will be asked to write down their team answers.- Please make sure that you have permission for photographs of your heat (some of which may appear on the SEET website or social media). If there are any pupils who do not have permission, please inform the quiz organiser in advance of the heat.
- We encourage Euroquiz clubs to take place in schools to allow past participants to work alongside younger learners. This enables learners to participate in or lead on the Euroquiz project through curricular or extra-curricular activities – for example, peer or cross-phase learning. Having a whole school approach is also important in recognising the achievement of pupils taking part.
The Euroquiz Heat – What to Expect
All questions in the heats are to be answered by the team collectively. They may want to nominate one member to write down the answers.
NEW: There will be 4 rounds for all participants and no final Round 5 for the top two teams. We will be including a video element to the language listening questions rather than audio only. We will also be introducing a short reading element to enhance the language round. Please see below for further details:
These will be 10 listening comprehension questions. These will be shown in video format this year (rather than audio only) to better represent a real life conversation.
There will also be a short reading comprehension text followed by 5 questions. This is a new addition to the language round this year to enhance the experience of participants by incorporating more skills.
Language questions are drawn up together with Education Scotland and SCILT (Scotland's National Centre for Languages) to support the continuing development of 1+2 in primary schools. Materials will be recorded by native speakers from Heriot Watt University.
Following feedback regarding scoring and format from 2018-19, there will no longer be a final round for the top two teams. All scores from Rounds 1-4 will be used to identify a winning team and runner up. The winning team will be presented with a trophy and will be invited to attend the final in Edinburgh. Each participant will get a pen and a certificate.
Tiebreakers will be available if necessary.
Good luck preparing your team!
What's on...

Plus, a fun feature called Shoe Closet lets users place and showcase their show collection in a digital shoe closet.
We can see this app coming in handy for shoppers who need a specific pair of shoes to match an outfit, while on the go and in search of a Steve Madden location with the shoe they want or to find a store that has your size when the Steve Madden location you're at is out.
The new app is powered by Branding Brand, which already created apps for such retailers as American Eagle Outfitters, Anthropologie, Crate & Barrel and Ralph Lauren, so we have a good feeling they know what they're doing.

What readers say
If I Should Speak
I could not put it down…I was fascinated not only by the plot of the novel, but especially by the brilliance of the writing itself. As a life-long, professional writer and editor, I can say that I have never encountered Umm Zakiyyah's equal in portraying the nuances of encounters between persons at all levels from the most superficial to the most profound. She is a clear example of a person who has natural talent. A person can be trained to write well, but no amount of training can bring a person without superb, natural talent to captivate the reader as she does and exert a permanent intellectual and emotional impact.

If you're a tech person, you've likely had to deal with support requests from people who've lost work. The employee who deleted spreadsheet cells containing next year's budget. The executive who had to redo hours of work due to a power outage. The tech know-it-all who installed a buggy browser plugin, which corrupted the document he was working on. These worries disappear when you use Google Drive—usually.
Your Work is Auto-Saved
Google Drive's auto-save feature has huge implications. You don't have to worry about power loss. You don't worry about accidentally quitting an application. You don't worry about clicking File | Save frequently. In Google Drive, your document is automatically saved every few seconds.
If your system crashes mid-sentence, you might lose the last few words you typed.
(The same is true for email: Gmail auto-saves email as you write. Sure, you can click the Save Now button if you like but it isn't necessary. Gmail automatically saves and labels your work-in-progress email as Drafts.)
Each Auto-Save Creates Its Own Version
Google Drive also auto-saves your document revision history. You can view major document versions in a list on the right side of the screen by choosing File | See Revision History. You can then view smaller revision increments by clicking the Show More Detailed Revisions button at the bottom of the Revision History column. Click on any of the earlier versions to see the document at that point in time. Then click the Restore This Version link to revert your document back to your chosen previous state.
Shared documents also benefit from auto-save and revision history. As multiple authors edit a document, Google Drive auto-saves the revisions. This eliminates hours of cutting-and-pasting text from multiple authors. And because each author is working on the single document, there's no need to worry about authors using different versions of software saving the file in varying formats.
Collaborate Without Worry (Mostly)
There's also no need to fear that a colleague will delete your work: you can always restore a Google Doc to an earlier version. Restoring a version makes the selected version the current one—it doesn't delete the prior versions. Two authors alternately pressing the Restore This Version button would create multiple versions of the document; neither author's version would be lost.
Only the owner of a document can delete the document. If you delete a document you own, it moves to your Google Drive Trash. When you either Delete Forever or Empty Trash your collaborators will lose access to the document. If a collaborator tries to delete a document they don't own, it simply removes the document from their Shared With Me list but leaves the owner's (and every other collaborator's) copy intact.
Where Google Drive's Safety Net Ends
If the owner of a document deletes it, the document is deleted for everyone with whom it was shared. If the owner deletes the document permanently, Google support cannot recover it. It's gone, period. The same holds true for third-party applications with owner privileges to documents in Google Drive.
If an angry or ignorant document owner decides to delete critical Google Drive content, no amount of Auto-Saves can undo those deletions. If a buggy third-party app wipes out a large swath of Google Drive data, now amount of Version History can bring that data back.
However, all hope is not lost. Third-party backup solutions can recover an owner-deleted document – even if you're not the owner. Backupify lets you restore deleted Google Drive documents. With Backupify, you can restore your document from anywhere. No need to go on-site to attempt file recovery or pull physical storage from an archive vault.
Google Drive and Backupify give you auto-save documents, single document multi-author revision history and automated backup. There's no reason to ever lose a document again.
That's what you call a good backup plan.

Conjunctivitis (more commonly known as pink eye or red eye) is an infection that everyone has heard of, but no one really knows very much about. Even if you have had conjunctivitis, you may have significant misconceptions about what it is and what kind of treatment it requires.
The best way to protect yourself against infections and eye health problems is to educate yourself about them so you know what to expect and when to seek treatment.
Simply put, this strain is a type of allergic reaction. Sometimes the body mistakenly labels certain stimuli as dangerous. When this happens, the immune system goes on the defensive; attempting to block or flush the stimulus from the body.
Allergic conjunctivitis is often triggered by pollen, pet dander, dust, and other allergens. Typically the patient can minimise their experiences with allergic conjunctivitis by simply avoiding the antigen. If this isn't possible, antihistamines can be effective.
This strain is caused by foreign bacteria coming into contact with the eye. It's also not uncommon for a sinus infection to spread, resulting in bacterial conjunctivitis. While it typically starts in one eye, bacterial conjunctivitis is extremely contagious and can easily spread to the other. That's why it's very important to throw out any products or cosmetics used on the infected eye and to wash all linens thoroughly.
After you've seen an eye doctor, you need to avoid public spaces as much as possible to keep from spreading the infection. Your eye doctor will be able to tell you when you are no longer contagious.
Much like the common cold, influenza, and cold sores, viral conjunctivitis is the result of a viral infection in the eye. In fact, it can be caused as the same viruses responsible for the conditions we have just listed. Like any other viral infection, viral conjunctivitis is contagious and can spread from one side to the other easily.
Although this strain of conjunctivitis usually runs its course without treatment, it is still crucial that you see a doctor to confirm that your case is viral rather than bacterial. After a doctor has formally diagnosed you, stay out of public areas to avoid spreading the virus. Your optometrist will advise as to when you are no longer contagious.
Conjunctivitis symptoms vary from case to case; however, they typically include some combination of the following:
The way conjunctivitis is treated depends entirely on which strain the patient has contracted. While allergic conjunctivitis symptoms can be alleviated by antihistamines, bacterial conjunctivitis requires antibiotics.
Because the treatment varies from strain to strain, it's crucial that you see a doctor for an official diagnosis. Only a medical professional can accurately diagnose your particular strain of conjunctivitis. From there, they will recommend the appropriate course of treatment or home remedy.

Remember a week ago, when Trump fired Jeff Sessions, the U.S. Attorney General, in an attempt to impede the Mueller investigation?
Sorry, that was a trick question. Trump fired Sessions fewer than 72 hours ago, but you could be forgiven for having the sense that more time had passed.
A quick check of various digital front pages this morning reveals that the story of Sessions' firing and the appointment of Trump crony Matthew G. Whittaker as acting Attorney General has already fallen below the fold and off our collective radar.
What has been called Trump's "slow motion Saturday Night Massacre," (a reference to Richard Nixon's firing of multiple Justice Department officials in a single night to impede the Watergate investigation) is on the verge of being ignored, a failure of attention that will weaken our democracy. Nixon's massacre inspired mass, sustained, bipartisan umbrage, while Trump's is already being forgotten.
This is an occasion where analog media would help us. The time scarcity of appointment television and the limited space of newsprint had the effect of focusing our collective attention on a single issue long enough to appreciate its significance and organize mind and body to act on it. The promiscuous allocation of attention that digital media spurs us to, both by journalists reporting the news and people consuming it, doesn't give us enough time even to form thoughts, much less opinions. There are indeed many stories worthy of occupying our attention, not least among them the tragic deaths of 11 people in the most recent mass shooting in California, or the wildfires there. But if we are to combat our promiscuous attention spans, we have to be chaste about what we choose to pay attention to.
In the battle to keep our democracy healthy, what we choose to pay attention to from moment to moment is decisive. And right now, the President's attempt to corrode the rule of law is what demands our undivided national attention, no matter how worthy other topics may be.
