Collaborative robots have become a regular part of applications with high part mixes at low volumes. These kinds of tasks require high degrees of flexibility and safety, as oftentimes collaborative robots must work alongside a human worker, and many industrial robots simply aren't built with this level of finesse.
When they were first introduced, collaborative robots were a major innovation in robotic technology. While they've become commonplace today, they aren't done evolving. As OEMs and academic researchers constantly look for more productive systems, collaborative robots will acquire new capabilities and tackle new tasks.
4 Futuristic Potential Capabilities of Collaborative Robots
As collaborative robots advance, there are a few ways in which today's research may radically change the collaborative robots of the future.
- Adaptability to Human Behavior
In order for more efficient collaboration in the future, collaborative robots could be designed to recognize and adapt to the behavior of humans. This could manifest in the form of seamless, real-time programming through mimicry without the need for downtime or programming knowledge.
- Interactivity
Efficient collaboration on complex tasks will require communication between a collaborative robot and a human worker. Future robots could be able to understand voice commands or hand gestures to interact with a human worker. This would avoid unnecessary downtime for programming in the middle of time-consuming tasks.
- Unrestricted Movement
Collaborative robots of the future may be able to adeptly sense and react to the environment around them. While many robots do this in a primitive way now, in the future these robots may never make the same movement twice in order to complete their assigned tasks.
- True Collaboration
Today's collaborative robots are actually fairly independent. In the future, collaborative robots that can sense human behavior may be able to understand this in the context of the larger project and then adjust their own behavior accordingly to keep things moving smoothly. This would be far closer to a truly collaborative relationship between humans and robots.
Much of this is far from reality today, but not impossible one day. Collaborative robots of the future may be radically different than their current form as research and development efforts yield futuristic new abilities.

This quick and easy grilled corn salad is a play on esquites, a wildly popular Mexican street food. Also known as corn in a cup, esquites are the cobless equivalent to elotes, grilled Mexican street corn topped with mayonnaise, various spices, and crumbled cojita cheese. A little brush of mayonnaise keeps the corn moist and golden, and squeezing lime juice over the final product adds a brightness that works spectacularly with the cheese and chives. If you can't find cojita, use queso fresco, which is readily available in most supermarkets. Sprinkle on some chipotle powder for an added kick.
How to Make It
Cut 2 limes in half, and squeeze juice from lime halves to equal about 1/4 cup.
Preheat grill to 400° to 450° (high) heat. Brush corn with mayonnaise. Sprinkle with desired amount of salt and pepper. Grill corn, covered with grill lid, 10 to 12 minutes or until done, turning occasionally. (Kernels may char and pop.)
Cut kernels from cobs into a large bowl. Stir cheese, chives, and lime juice into kernels. Cut remaining lime into 4 wedges, and serve with corn salad.

Representatives with the Mediterranean Yacht Brokers Association (MYBA) and the Europe Committee for Professional Yachting (ECPY) have obtained a favorable ruling from French tax authorities that "the Stakeholder is not liable to pay the withholding tax provided for under Article 182 B of the General Tax Code". The stakeholder is the charter client.
This decision was reached on appeal after tax authorities originally ruled that charter clients owed a 33 percent tax on charters on boats in France where the owner did not have a French business.
"We have dealt with the first stage and now have to work toward ensuring that this national decision is implemented at local level for the ongoing cases," said Thierry Voisin, president of ECPY in Nice.
In related news, Italian tax authorities have decided to follow France's lead on tax exemptions for commercial yachts operating in Italy.
In January, the Italian tax agency clarified the conditions that commercial yachts must meet to benefit from tax exemption. Resolution 2/E states that yachts must be "designed to navigate in high seas", i.e. beyond 12 nautical miles from the coast. Regardless of length or beam, 70 percent of its trips on an annual basis must be in high seas and must be corroborated by official documentation.
However, Resolution 2/E does not define what constitutes a "trip".
Resolution 2/E also deals with new builds. During construction the owning company must inform the administration that the yacht is designed to operate in high seas. Following the launch, yachts may benefit from the exemption for the first year of navigation. In subsequent years, navigation must comply with the 70 percent rule.
"The clarification is a step forward, a step toward harmonization, Voisin said. "The fact that Italy has chosen to align itself with France is an added bonus, especially for professionals who battle to get their heads around the wave of new, discordant regulations across the EU."

07:47, UK,Tuesday 22 March 2016
Two loud explosions have been heard at a Brussels airport which is being evacuated amid reports of several casualties.
According to reports the blasts centred on an American Airlines desk in a departure hall at around 8am.
Video and images on social media showed smoke rising from an airport building, shattered windows and confused and shocked passengers fleeing to safety. More here.
Brussels Airport on LOCKDOWN: Multiple injured after two explosions rock terminal building
ANTI-terror experts have been scrambled to Brussels airport after two explosions.
Passengers flee the terminal
The cause of the two blasts, which occurred at around 8am this morning at an American airline check-in desk, are unknown at this stage.
There are unconformed reports that a bomb had been placed next to a check-in desk.
The blasts occurred four days after the arrest in Brussels of a suspected participant in November militant attacks in Paris that killed 130 people. Belgian police had been on alert for any reprisal action.
Brussels Zaventem airport rocked by two explosions
Two explosions have been reported at Zaventem airport in Brussels.
Images on social media from the scene showed smoke rising from one of the terminal buildings. The cause of the explosions is unknown.
Reports say the blasts were in the departures area and speak of casualties although this has not been confirmed.
The blasts come four days after the capture in Brussels of Salah Abdeslam, the main suspect in the Paris attacks in November.
Belgian media say the airport is being evacuated. It has been closed to flights. Rail transport to the facility has been halted.
Social media reports from the scene speak of panic as people fled the airport buildings.
Images showed a swathe of shattered glass on one of the buildings.
Other reports say at least one explosion was close to the American Airlines check-in area but again this has not been confirmed.
The Belgian broadcaster RTBF quoted a witness as saying there were people injured or unconscious in the departure area, opposite the Sheraton hotel.
Niels Caignau, a Swissport employee, told Flemish broadcaster VRT: "I was on a break and heard and felt a big explosion – we have from here a view over the departure hall and saw a plume of smoke come out.
"The windows are completely shattered. People went outside in shock. It doesn't look good."

My go-to dishes in Vietnamese places are salad rolls and bun vermicelli noodle bowls. And Rau Bistro does both very well. The banh mi subs are gorgeous, too, but on my last visit I ordered a green papaya-shrimp-pork salad bowl, which slapped my taste buds with sparkling, tart, smoky, luscious flavours in every bite. Chef-owner Cam Do knows how to pack a serious punch with her ingredients. She can do it all-veg, too, with pho broth made from jicama instead of beef, banh mi loaded with only veggies, and meatless spring and salad rolls. (Rau means "vegetable" in Vietnamese after all.) And don't miss Do's Cam-a-roon cookies, tasty riffs on coconut macaroons whose name acknowledges their maker.

PREVIOUSLY: Shortly after Boomer had beer in hand—Braddock "One-Eye" Farkleberry entered the bar and stared first at McOsker then at Minicucci—hard, "What a couple of sissies—whaddareya doin' in a man's bar?"
One-Eye could see the fear in both their eyes—they were indeed cowards. He slowly walked towards them, "Barkeep—draw me your best beer to enjoy as I take these two sissies apart!"
A couple of men started to move towards the impending fight, apparently to aid McOsker and Minicucci—Boomer intercepted them, "You fellas ought to stay back—and enjoy the two against one entertainment."
"We was gonna help the seaman."
"I don't think he needs the help," Boomer grinned, "Bets anyone?"
Lakeview City Story—In Search Of—Episode 18… Not surprisingly—there were no bets, and both McOsker and Minicucci were a mangled mess on the floor. Two of the patrons dragged them outside—one of whom said to them, "Don't bother coming back—you're not welcome here."
Boomer and One-Eye remained at O'Donnell's for another hour—but remained apart, each at a separate table. Both learned a lot about McOsker and Minicucci. It seems they spent much of their time bragging about how important they were—how they were going to take over the town.
Boomer and One-Eye remained at O'Donnell's
They left separately, with Boomer walking towards the back parking area, where he waited for Farkleberry. Ten minutes later they were on their way back into Lakeview City where Boomer remained to start his shift—officially—as the sales manager at Lakeview Motors. Farkleberry returned to his boat in the harbor to pick-up his sea-bag and head for Boomer & Linda's cabin.
"We're neighbors of Jack Boardman, and we understand he's your new sales manager," Gina greeted AJ, "Is he here?"
"He's scheduled to start at ten," AJ replied, "May I offer you some coffee while you wait?"
"That would be great, thank you," Gina smiled noting the time—a five minute wait.
MEANWHILE—out on Lake Superior… the Lady Luck made her rendezvous… with Autoworld Transit 2, "Ahoy Transit two, this is Lady Luck—we'd like to come alongside."
Lady Luck made her rendezvous
"Aye, Lady Luck—we'll come to full stop."
"Greetings from Gina, Captain Howell, I'm Captain O'Reilly of the Lady Luck and I bring orders from Gina."
"And they would be?"
"Use your encrypted radio and contact McCloskey at the warehouse—tell him Gina wishes small shipments of their best cars and trucks to be sent to Lakeview City by truck—ten vehicles total."
"Certainly, O'Reilly—but is it safe?"
"It will be—she has probable inside operatives there and is confident of bringing them on-board. We can always call them off if it doesn't work."
"Will do."

Holmes named CKH National Showcase School!
Both Cherry and Holmes campuses named Capturing Kids' Hearts National Showcase Schools
Cherry and Tenie Holmes elementary schools have each received a Capturing Kids' Hearts National Showcase School award for the 2018-2019 school year from the Flippen Group.
Several years ago, both campuses began an initiative to transform their schools into emotionally safe and relationally connected places for students, staff, and parents.
After researching programs used by some of the nation's most successful schools, Bay City Independent School District chose to join hands with the Flippen Group to bring Capturing Kids' HeartsⓇ to the entire district. Teachers and staff learned processes to increase students' connectedness with both peers and adults on campus. They learned how to create a classroom environment where students are excited to enter and learn every day.
Holmes Principal Kimberly Hickl shared, "I am really proud of our staff. Receiving this award is a reflection of how the staff has taken what we learned during CKH training and really implemented those practices (greeting students daily, creating a social contract and referring to it regularly throughout the day, using standard key words and signals). During the campus visit, the representative from CKH shared with us that it is truly an awesome culture that we have built at Tenie Holmes when both parents and teachers are reporting that students love their teachers. I know our staff love our students, but it is so rewarding to hear students and parents share that they see our students love their teachers."
"We are overwhelmed with gratitude at Cherry for receiving this award for the second year in a row! The Cherry Elementary staff have worked extremely hard at implementing the Capturing Kids' Hearts philosophies and practices into their daily routines. I especially want to commend our Process Champions (CKH model teachers) who have led our campus in continually improving in this area, lending support to their colleagues and leading by example each day," said Cherry Principal Merideth Dodd.
Since 1990, campuses across the country have experienced improvements with Capturing Kids' Hearts tools and processes by creating socio-emotional safety conducive to learning. Openness replaces defensiveness. Judging and feelings of being judged are replaced with acceptance and real connectedness to the school.
Through the Capturing Kids' Hearts National Showcase Schools awards, the Flippen Group recognizes and celebrates campuses that go the extra mile each day, building an environment where students and staff feel safe and connected. Capturing Kids' Hearts campuses across the country were considered for these awards based on the following criteria: 1) nomination based on observation by Flippen Group personnel, 2) level of implementation of Capturing Kids' Hearts processes by all staff as measured by online surveys, and 3) data demonstrating that Capturing Kids' Hearts has made a significant improvement in attendance, discipline, climate/culture, or academics.
A Flippen Group team visited each nominated campus to gather additional quantitative and qualitative data, and to interview students, teachers, administrators, and parents. They used a matrix of key measurements to gather information during the campus walk-through. Finally, an additional survey was conducted to collect feedback regarding the perceived climate and culture of the campus and its conduciveness to learning. Following this visit, the selection team reviewed all accumulated data and selected the campuses to receive the Capturing Kids' Hearts National Showcase Schools awards.

Leeds Grenville County resident named Trees Ontario Green Leader for planting a loving legacy
Sep 19, 2012, 11:44 ET
Patricia Harvey plants 50,000 trees on the family's 1796 property to celebrate her husband's love of botany
ADDISON, ON, Sept. 19, 2012 /CNW/ - One little stone house started it all. The Harvey's purchased their 1796 property while busy teaching in Ottawa. The couple desired a quiet place away from their bustling lives in the city, and purchased the property after Patricia fell in love with the stone house that is the centre piece of this 260 acre farm. The land was originally settled in 1796 by English Patriots who acquired it through a British Government program that offered free land to those immigrating to Canada. After a string of owners, the Harvey's purchased the property and although they didn't initially live on the property, the Harvey's did enjoy its farmhouse as a seasonal residence.
"When we were teaching, Mr. Harvey and I were up here every weekend. It was a nice break from the hustle and bustle of Ottawa," said Patricia. "We restored parts of the house and enjoyed taking pictures of the plants and wildlife here. My husband taught botany, so he photographed every inch of the place because there are so many interesting plants."
To honour the memory of her late husband, she and a friend started researching options for large tracts of idle farmland. In 2010, Mrs. Harvey saw an advertisement in which Rideau Valley Conservation Authority (RVCA) and Trees Ontario were hosting a landowner workshop that highlighted the necessity of re-greening the province and the resources available to property owners interested in getting involved.
Landowners with 2.5 acres or more of open land are eligible to take advantage of subsidies to plant trees through the 50 Million Tree Program (50MTP) - a program introduced by the Ontario government that will see 50 million trees planted in southern Ontario. The program is administered by Trees Ontario who works with local planting partners including RVCA to provide eligible landowners with hands-on professional help and advice on tree planting and full tree planting services including determining site eligibility, allocating funding and coordinating planting.
Excited to get started, Mrs. Harvey invited RVCA's Dan Cooper to conduct an assessment of the property, discuss her tree planting goals and develop a planting strategy for her 60 plantable acres. They focused on the north half of the property that was wet in areas. "There is an abundance of abandoned farmland here in the East," says Dan Cooper, Forestry Program Manager, Rideau Valley Conservation Authority. "The land here can be difficult to farm and is therefore ideally suited to these tree planting programs. We work with the landowner to help create a naturalized area and use subsidy programs to manage the process and drastically reduce the planting and maintenance costs to the landowner. Most planting projects cost about 15 cents per tree and we handle everything." The full cost of tree planting can be as high as $2,000 per acre. The 50 MTP reduces the landowner costs to as low as $150 per acre, depending on local site conditions.
Once Mrs. Harvey and Dan discussed her goals for the property, RVCA developed a plan for the wetlands, low lying lands and upland areas. Species were selected that were suitable for the site and met Mrs. Harvey's goals for her property. Dan was sure to discuss the planting process and future maintenance of the trees to ensure high survival rates.
The site was prepared in the fall of 2010 and the following spring they planted 24,000 trees, including white spruce, white pine, cedar and tamarack. RVCA handled every aspect of the planting and are now monitoring the survival of the trees and providing support to ensure these seedlings survive to grow into a forest. "I was involved in the process and Dan held my hand every step of the way," said Mrs. Harvey. "I liked the process so much that I decided to do it again the next year."
This spring 2012, the property was planted with another 26,000 trees of the same species, but this time, Mrs. Harvey added a few oak, walnut and maple. "This is now a place to enjoy natural beauty and wildlife. I see so many more bird and animal species including grosbeaks, hawks, fox and even coyotes. I love my new trees," explains Mrs. Harvey.
Mrs. Harvey has been recognized as a Trees Ontario Green Leader to award her commitment to the environment. "Mrs. Harvey is well deserving of the Green Leader award for her dedication and stewardship of the land," says the Honourable Michael Gravelle, Ontario's Minister of Natural Resources. "Planting trees under the 50 Million Tree Program is a great option for landowners who want to plant a legacy for future generations and contribute to achieving the 30 per cent forest cover required to maintain a healthy sustainable environment."
"This is truly a gift that she's given the local community. The naturalization of the area will contribute to the region's biodiversity, encourage species resiliency to climate change, and add to the economic and social fabric of the entire area," adds Rob Keen, CEO, Trees Ontario.

Had a little fun with Gimpshop this New Year's Eve
I enjoy the flickr feed from the WSDOT. All kinds of great work.

Behold! Hell has burst forth and legions of demons are looking for Dick Cheney, their long-lost uncle.
Ok, this is the result of a mining mistake in the town of Darvaz. The article says it's in Uzbekistan, though this Wikipedia article says the town is in Tajikistan. It wouldn't surprise me that there's more than one Darvaz in the world. Anyway, this will certainly make arranging the vacation a bit more troubling for Expedia. Tajikistan isn't within their purview, I'm afraid. You'll need to explore other options, like Turkish Air.

Toy Soldiers posted this disturbing article on the thousands of boys and men who are trafficked every year, some of whom are trafficked specifically for sex.
Read the rest of this disturbing article.
The lost boys of child prostitutionMale victims of sex trafficking are treated like unicorns. Every now and again someone claims to have see one, but no one believes they are real. Unfortunately, they are. Thousands of boys and men are trafficked every year, and some of them are trafficked specifically for sex. We know it must happen, yet one would be hard-pressed to find any mention of male victims of sex trafficking in any of the literature or news coverage.However, the majority of people involved in the sex trade are not involved by force. Many of them get into the trade as a means of survival as they often have no other way to support themselves. Recently, the John Jay College of Criminal Justice in Manhattan conducted a study on youths working as prostitutes. The Commercial Sexual Exploitation of Children in New York City study came up with some surprising results:From that data, they were able to put a number on the total population of New York's teen sex workers: 3,946.
Most astonishing to the researchers was the demographic profile teased out by the study. Published by the U.S. Department of Justice in September 2008, [Ric Curtis and Meredith Dank's] findings thoroughly obliterated the long-held core assumptions about underage prostitution:
• Nearly half of the kids—about 45 percent—were boys.
• Only 10 percent were involved with a "market facilitator" (e.g., a pimp).
• About 45 percent got into the "business" through friends.
• More than 90 percent were U.S.-born (56 percent were New York City natives).
• On average, they started hooking at age 15.
• Most serviced men—preferably white and wealthy.
• Most deals were struck on the street.
• Almost 70 percent of the kids said they'd sought assistance at a youth-service agency at least once.
• Nearly all of the youths—95 percent—said they exchanged sex for money because it was the surest way to support themselves.These results are surprising because they fly in the face of what the researchers expected to find.

Thematic areas
The Coalition for Justice and Non-Discrimination was created as an initiative group consisting from more than 20 local NGOs in 2012.
The main aims of the Coalition for Justice and Non-Discrimination is the development and lobbing of anti-discrimination legislation in the Kyrgyz Republic and countering xenophobia in its different types, combating hate speech, hate crime, encouraging diversity, and the protection of minority rights.
Beginning in 2013, the organisation has been implementing the Together Against Xenophobia Project supported by Soros Foundation Kyrgyzstan. The main purpose of this project is to mobilize local NGOs to promote anti-discrimination initiatives. In the framework of this project, the Coalition's team has made a legal analysis of the draft of legislation "On the formation of a positive attitude toward non-traditional forms of sexual relations", arguing that it is in contradiction with the Constitution and international human rights standards.
Last updated: October 2016

We actually have to agree with Lotus when it says the Evora will be the most significant Lotus car to be launched in the past decade and promises to be one of the most exciting new cars of its time.
The all-new Lotus combines traditional Lotus ride and handling attributes with a large, practical platform encompassing a whole new drivetrain.
The Evoras will enter the market as the only mid-engined 2+2 in production. The new car is a more holistic offering than the Elise, Exige and Europa models that have made the brand so iconic.
Despite exceptional international demand for the car, Lotus Cars Australia has secured a number of Evoras for Australia to satisfy Australian demand.
The initial global Evora production will consist of higher specification vehicles including the following (although customer can also order vehicles to their own specification now, for later delivery):
- 2+2 seating configuration
- Tech, Premium and Sport packs
- Hi-power silver cast alloys
- Bi-xenon headlamps
- Alpine Imprint Audio System
- Reversing camera
- Electric powerfold mirrors
These initial 'Launch Edition' vehicles include either Ardent Red or British Racing Green as standard, and all other colours from the Lotus range are available as a cost option.
The three option packs (standard on the Launch Edition) will be available as a cost option once the initial run of higher specification 'Launch Edition' vehicles is completed.
The Tech, Sport and Premium packs add items such as a touch-screen display, iPod connection, cruise control, parking sensors, accent lighting, full leather trimming in selected colour, traction control, sports diffuser and switchable sports mode
A sports ratio six-speed transmission is also available to experience the maximum performance offered by the V6 engine, combining a closer stack of ratios for improved acceleration and greater in-gear response.
As Lotus says the Evora is designed for people who desire exotic sports car characteristics of stunning design, exclusivity and performance, being powered by a 3.5-litre, V6 producing 206kW and 342Nm, and using innovative lightweight chassis technology.
Performance is spectacular with 0-100km/h in just over five seconds, combined with low emissions and fuel consumption of just 205g/km and 8.7l/100km (combined highway/urban cycle).
Inside, the Lotus Evora cocoons occupants with sumptuous leather surfaces juxtaposed with contemporary high-tech features.
With driver focused instrumentation the occupants sit in cockpit-like surroundings with flush-mounted controls that glow with blue LED haloes and stylised gauges.
Styled in-house by Lotus Design, the Evora's sophisticated and attention-snaring lines brilliantly disguise its ability to accommodate passengers in the rear of the cabin, giving the car the external characteristics of a small, nimble sportscar belying its real exterior and internal space.
As well as being sold in a 2+2 configuration, the car will also be available as a two-seater, the space in the rear being allocated to luggage storage. An automatic version is in future planning.
The entry level Lotus Evora 2+0 will be priced at $149,990 (recommended price before statutory and delivery charges), with the Lotus Evora 2+2 being priced at $156,990 (recommended price before statutory and delivery charges).
The 2+2 adds the convenience and practicality of rear seats in addition to a host of luxury appointments both standard and optional including Alpine audio system, reversing camera and cruise control.
For peace of mind, the Lotus Evora has a three-year 100,000km whole vehicle warranty.
While the first customer deliveries are currently taking place in Europe, Australians will get the chance to experience the V6 Evora for themselves for the first time in the third quarter of 2009.
Both the initial higher specification vehicles and customer specified vehicles can be ordered now through the Lotus dealer network in Australia.

If you have purchased a Clarinet that is lacking the Clarinet Case, I could presume two things:
- It wasn't from Normans*
- You probably bought it from a bloke called Dave in the local pub… who *cough* found *cough* it
Disclaimer: There are other unscrupulous people in the world. It's not just 'Dave.'
Naturally, most new instruments come with a beautifully protective and lined bespoke clarinet case. Each element of your instrument fits in perfectly and snugly. Ideally they even have room for your reeds and accessories.
But what if something happens? A cracked outer? A broken handle? Or what if – a little less dramatically – you simply want a better one with pristine, attractive features (just like this author.)
In this article, I will show you the perfect Bags & Cases on offer, from the tried and tested brands of Sonata, Chord, Stagg and Tom & Will. We have the perfect Clarinet Case for you.
Sonata Clarinet Case
Starting with the Sonata Clarinet Case. Wow! Top marks for the Sonata designers on this one, I think must have been head-hunted from Tom & Will
This Clarinet Case looks absolutely great with its back-pack styling and comfortable straps. Furthermore, it does exactly what is should do: it fully protects your clarinet. The outer material is made of black and grey canvas which is strong and durable, ensuring your beloved Clarinet is safely housed.
The carefully moulded interior fits Bb Clarinets comfortably, meaning your instrument is held stationary and cannot rattle, ensuring that delicate keys are kept in pristine condition.
Chord Clarinet Gigbag
The Chord 173.387UK Clarinet Gigbag, is an affordable entry level soft carry bag for your Clarinet. This case does not feature the moulded-style compartments of others, and is designed for your original Clarinet case to fit inside. It has excellent features such as water resistance (always handy for water based performances and Handel's Water Music!) and extra padding to provide extra protection. It also features a shoulder strap for comfort and an accessory pocket for your accessories (thank you Sherlock!)
Champion Clarinet Case
The attractive and practical Champion Bb Clarinet Case will provide the protection your instrument deserves, featuring: a tough and durable woven showerproof outer cover, grab handle and padded backstraps that can be hidden behind a padded cover, plush velour moulded interior, reflective flash features on front pockets, zip surrounds and backstraps, ez-grip highly visible zip pulls, accessory & music pockets with integral pen/phone pouch.
Stagg Soft Clarinet Case
Onto the Stagg SC-CL Soft Clarinet Case. This robust nylon case has been carefully designed to protect your clarinet in all situations. It features two slip-proof transport straps with a protective zip covering. The interior is plushly padded and a storm flap over the main zip protects your instrument from rain. The outside pockets offers plenty of room for your accessories and features and the easy grip plastic handle is kind to your hands.
Tom and Will Clarinet Hard Case
The new Tom and Will 36CL Clarinet Hard Case combines practical features, amazingly attractive & professional looks with portability, making transporting your clarinet easy… with onlookers in awe! Available in resilient, hard-wearing grey or blue canvas, it will not disappoint.
This case has been designed to fit most standard Bb clarinets, including Buffet and Yamaha. The padded interior and plush lining keep your clarinet well-protected. The detachable shoulder strap and dual carry handle makes carrying the case easy. On the outside of the case is the main compartment and accessory pocket. Perfect for your reeds. As well as this is the sheet music pocket on the back. Now you have no excuse for forgetting any of your kit.
So there you have it… Undeniably a great selection of Clarinet cases. Something to please all budgets and all abilities.
Don't let your Clarinet down: Treat it to something good looking & protective. Treat it to the Gladiator of cases!
*This just is plain is silly. We offer the best deals and quality instruments with a 5-year warranty for Clarinets over £150! They also come with a case.

In case you have not heard, Arizona has a new law that requires all brake and tail lights on your vehicle must work properly. Failure to comply could get you pulled over and ticketed. This new tail light law, HB 2509, will take effect on August 6, 2016. Now is a good time to make sure all your brake lights -- including the third brake light -- are working properly. Bring all your vehicles to Primarily Japanese for a safety inspection and we'll help your vehicle comply with the new law. Before this new law, only one working brake light was required. However, with various safety concerns, the new law gives police officers a greater ability to legally stop motorists without violating the Fourth Amendment rights against warrantless search and seizure. According to the Arizona Capitol Times, Mike Williams, the lobbyist behind HB 2509, was created beca ... read more
For people who are new to the Tucson area, they are often shocked at how extreme our summer temps can get. We locals have dealt with temperatures over 100 degrees for a long time, and we have learned to deal with it. Here are some survival tips for your car during the soaring heat of Summer: Test your car battery regularly. High temperatures can drain the life of your battery more quickly. You may have seen this with your cell phone and mobile devices. Same goes for your car battery. To make sure your car battery is not drained, test the battery regularly and keeping the top of the battery clean. Protect your paint. If you regularly wax your vehicle or apply a paint protection sealant, your paint color will be better protected under the sizzling sun. Wax and paint sealers will help your red car stay red, rather than turn into a faded version. For best results, be sure to apply wax regularly. Seek out shade. Shady spots will keep the interior temperatures of y ... read more
We dearly love Mini Coopers. In fact, we love them just as much as the Asian vehicles we repair and service at Primarily Japanese. They are like street-legal go-karts that are fun to drive. However, Mini Coopers are known for some common repair issues. Here are the top mechanical issues we commonly see in Mini Coopers: Power window issues. Clutch failure. Pump failure in both steering and water pumps. Transmission issues. Thermostat housing leakage. Broken plastic front radiator support. Variable valve timing issues. Rattling timing chains. Though this list of Mini Cooper repair issues may scare you, please don't let it. Because our team has owned Minis and has serviced them for many years, we are aware of these issues and know to keep an extra eye on them. Mini Coopers are well known for their precision and driving capabilities. As a result, Mini Coopers are often driven hard and put through their paces by their owners. When drivers test a Mini to its ... read more
It's April, and before you know it, your tax refund will be on its way (hopefully) and it'll be 100 degrees in May. That is why we recommend pre-Summer check-ups for all of your vehicles to ensure you won't be stranded in sizzling heat on the side of the road. April is the perfect time to make certain all of the vehicles in your household are operating safely. Don't let our name, Primarily Japanese, fool you. Our team works on most domestic and foreign vehicles. When you bring your vehicles to Primarily Japanese, located at 600 N. Stone Avenue, Tucson, AZ 85705, we recommend the following pre-Summer inspection: Air Conditioning System check-up -- You're going to be happy your A/C is running properly once Summer temps hit Tucson. Not only will you be happy your air conditioning is working, but so will your passengers, your perishable cargo, and your pets, too. Cooling System check-up -- An overheating engine is bad news at any ti ... read more

Hyundai USA has released a stunt driving video starring professional drift and hill-climb driver Rhys Millen who plays out a Hyundai Genesis Coupe drift car heist. The stunts take place at the former Hyundai USA headquarters.
Fans of the various Ken Block videos will appreciate this one. The storyline behind it involves Millen thieving the Hyundai Genesis Coupe drift car, the one Millen drives in competition, from a mantlepiece in front of the headquarters.
In attempts to escape from the security guard, who drives a small golf-kart-like vehicle, Millen demonstrates some of his drifting skills by mocking/drifting around him. Millen also wreaks havoc in the soon-to-be demolished Hyundai HQ facilities by sliding the Genesis through buildings and around the carparks, just missing obstacles on every turn.

OK, are you able to connect with another SSH client, like PuTTY?
Let me apologize for the delayed response. I was sick for the past month. Yes, I was able to login using the GUI and recently I was able to.connect using code after the pw was changed to not use certain special characters. I will download the recent released version and test using the special characters translated with utf-8 as my next task. I will follow up with the results. Again thanks.

Annually 6 million people die from a stroke, which makes this dangerous state the third leading cause of death; Another 5 million stroke victims are permanently disabled. During a stroke, the brain experiences a prolonged lack of oxygen. Sometimes this is due to problems with the main bloodways of the body – the main arteries and the heart, sometimes the cause – in the blood vessels of the brain itself.
Regardless of the pathogenesis, the picture is observed alone in stroke: the brain cells do not get enough oxygen and try to make up for it by switching to anoxic method of feeding – anaerobic glycolysis. With the help of glycolysis, the brain copes with the lack of nutrients, but the by-products of this process create an acidic environment in neurons that destroys the cells. The death of neurons in stroke leads to very serious consequences and often prevents patients from recovering motor and cognitive functions.
Until now, there were no drugs on the market that could reliably protect neurons from death after a stroke, but the situation could improve in the next two years. Australian scientists have discovered that the poison of the spider Hadronyche infensa, capable of killing a person in 15 minutes, contains a harmless component that can be used to maintain the life of neurons in the affected stroke brain. The component attracted the attention of scientists with the external similarity of the molecule to the molecule of the already known inhibitor of ion channels, the work of which leads to the death of neurons from the acid. Peptide from spider venom, called Hi1a, was at times more effective than the previously known component.
It was found that Hi1a blocks the cell's reaction to acid molecules and prevents the destruction of neurons under its influence. Experiments in rats have shown that the injection of Hi1a directly into the brain improves the condition of the animal after a stroke and contributes to the restoration of motor functions, even if the medicine was injected into the brain 8 hours after the stroke. Now the authors of the study are preparing to test Hi1a in public; Tests will take about two years.

Poll Hub: Race in America
The perceptions and realities of race in the Trump era.
Stories of taking a knee and other national anthem protests by NFL players to draw attention to racial inequality in the United States have saturated news headlines. But, what is the status of race relations in the nation today?
This episode of Poll Hub addresses that very question with special attention given to President Donald Trump's impact on race relations in the United States. Mr. Trump's first nine months in office have been consumed with the topic of race, and according to Exclusive Third Rail with OZY-Marist Poll numbers, a plurality of Americans, 46%, say President Trump's comments about people of color such as Muslims, immigrants, or African Americans make it more acceptable to make racist comments.
Expounding upon their recent survey findings, Dr. Lee M. Miringoff, Director of The Marist College Institute for Public Opinion, and Dr. Barbara L. Carvalho, Director of The Marist College Poll, dig deeper into the issue and analyze the role social media plays in the discussion of race, whether or not Americans think everyone regardless of color has an equal opportunity to advance in American society, how those perceptions have changed over time, and whether or not people of color need to fight harder for racial inequality.
Then, Jay DeDapper, political journalist and tech entrepreneur, leads the discussion in a different direction. Media outlets across the nation recently reported on a survey conducted by John Villasenor, visiting UCLA law professor and Brookings Institution Senior Fellow, about college students and the First Amendment. Many journalists were attracted to one specific finding which showed that close to one in five survey respondents approved of using violence to disrupt a speaker known for using hate speech. But, peel away the layers of the survey, and these findings might not be exactly what they appear to be. The Poll Hub crew explains.
And, can money buy happiness? The Poll Hub team discusses a study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences in an attempt to answer this age-old question.

Painting and Decorating Services in Brittas
Are you contemplating giving your house or business a fresh look? Do you need to fix water stains on ceilings and walls or over walls in which mold has been removed? It could be tempting to do the job yourself, which can result in cost savings. However, there are lots of reasons you should consider hiring a professional painter and decorator service.
Prices of Equipment
Employing a professional painter and decorator means that the painter comes with the tools they will require to do the work correctly, will wash up those tools whenever they are completed and will require them away to be saved elsewhere.
Protection of Your Property and Preventing a Mess
A professional painter and decorator will have the ideal gear and be knowledgeable and experienced with how to shield furniture, floors, cabinets, walkways and other things which you don't need painted out of any harm. If your work entails staining, a professional will have the correct equipment and expertise to use the stain properly to attain the perfect finish and once attained, shield the finish.
A professional painter will also thoroughly clean up the work area once the job is finished.
Preparation is Key
A professional painter and painter is going to learn that preparation is the trick to a good looking, long lasting paint job. Areas with mold or water staining may require additional therapy and patching before they are ready for a final paint job. It is a lot of work and if it's not done properly with appropriate tools and methods, it won't lead to an excellent finish.
Skills and Patience
Painting requires patience to produce a beautiful excellent finish and it also takes skill that is developed with practice and experience. A professional will understand how to complete each of the preparation and painting jobs required to achieve the best outcome.
In Dublin, there are a number of options a professional painter and decorator may start to you, which you could not have the skills or experience to do yourself, including specific finishes (intumescent endings (which can be fireproof), faux finishes and textured painting, by way of example).
A professional painter may also understand the materials which are required to do the work correctly. Which primer will offer the right coverage? Latex or oil? Matte, semi-gloss, high gloss? Which primer base is required? What paint foundation? Roller or spray?
A professional painter will have the ability to recommend materials which are better to achieve the look you want, while avoiding any damage to your surfaces. With that information, you can attain a greater quality finish that will last.
For outdoor tasks, a professional will know the ideal weather, temperature and sunlight conditions to finish the job with all the best results. Stains respond differently in direct sunlight than when it's overcast, and at several temperatures. While rain obviously impacts the job, heat and humidity may also impact the quality of outside paint finishes. A regional expert painter will understand the proper materials to use to produce your exterior last as long as you can in Dublin's climate.
Increasing on ladders while trying to apply paint properly is a skilled job that takes careful focus and attention to prevent severe harm and damage. The greater the website which requires painting, the greater the risk for an crash. For inside projects with large areas or exterior jobs, a professional painter will have all the tools and experience required to perform the job safely and correctly, including the right size and design of ladder and scaffolding.
Your time is valuable and painting yourself takes a significant quantity of time. Having a professional painter and decorator deal with the work for you can save you days and days of effort, and can usually be achieved in a much shorter time period.
A study from Trinity College Dublin suggests the average Irish person requires 28 hours per day to accomplish all his or her tasks. Prevent including a paint job into this and talk to a professional painter about your needs.

July 26, 2019 | From Fox News
The wealthiest billionaire in Singapore said he values his relationship with Jesus Christ more than anything else after years of searching.
Philip Ng and his brother, Robert, are worth $12.1 billion for their control of Far East Organization, Singapore's largest private landlord and property developer, according to Forbes.
"What I've discovered is that all of us are broken," Ng said in a video posted last year by Matthew Yao on Instagram. "We all have a missing piece, and for me, I discovered that the missing piece was God through Jesus Christ.". . .
"I was always in search for a better life, a better purpose, a better me, a better everything. I was just looking at all the wrong things, but when I realized there is no better me or better things without Jesus," Ng said. "Then it all snapped into place. Maybe we have to look deeper. I treasure (my faith) more than anything so I just wish for everyone to have that peace and joy. It sure beats a lot of money and material things that you may have."
Yao pointed out, in his post on social media, movies like "Crazy Rich Asians," which largely takes place in Singapore, "glorifying wealth, exuberance, and excess and Hollywood media polluting our minds with B.S., we are too easily sidetracked and too easily derailed from the truth and what is important in this life." (Excerpt from Fox News.)

If you were the first in your household to shower this morning and ended up with only lukewarm water coming out of the hot water tap, then your home's gas water heater may need some attention. Thankfully, there are only a few things that cause this issue and they are all easy to fix.
Below is everything you need to know to figure out why your water heater isn't performing as designed, as well as how to get the problem fixed.
Issue #1: There Is No Hot Water at All
If your water heater isn't producing any hot water at all, then it is possible the pilot light has gone out. Since checking the pilot light is simple, you should always do this before looking for another issue with any gas appliance.
If you discover the pilot light's flame has gone out, then you should either re-light it or call your gas provider and have them come to your home and do it for you.
If you discover the water heater's pilot light is burning just fine, then it is more than likely the water heater's burner or thermostat has failed or is malfunctioning.
Since replacing these parts can be a bit complicated for someone without experience with gas appliance repair, you should have a licensed plumber come to replace them.
Issue #2: The Hot Water Isn't Always the Same Temperature
If your water is lukewarm only first thing in the morning or when no one has run any hot water for a few hours, but it produces hot water other times of the day, then your water heater's thermostat may not be set correctly.
To troubleshoot the thermostat, first, check to see what temperature it is set at. If the water heater is located in your garage where someone may have bumped against it, then it may just need to be reset back to its normal operating temperature—typically 120 degrees.
If the thermostat is set on 120 degrees and you are getting hot water later in the day, then it is more than likely the thermostat is working correctly. However, the reason your morning shower was cold is that the water sitting in the tank was cooling off and the thermostat didn't hit its lower threshold to turn on the burner to reheat the water.
Since the lower threshold can be twenty or thirty degrees colder than the water the heater typically produces, this can make the water feel cold. As soon as someone uses some hot water and the cold water backfills the tank, the thermostat comes into contact with it and fires the burner. After this happens, then the water is hot again. This isn't a sign of a malfunction, but rather an interesting quirk of gas water heaters.
The best workaround is to run some hot water a few minutes before you want to shower and that will ensure the burner has just heated the water inside of the holding tank.
If neither of these issues is the problem, then it's time to contact a water heater repair technician.

'Twas the night before Christmas . . . and dozens of rich, influential hostages are trapped inside a sprawling lakefront mansion in New Orleans. The perp? Detective Reed Ware, model cop turned outlaw. After receiving a panicked call from Hollis "Holly" Bayard, a teenage street tough with a penchant for amateur sleuthing who stumbles upon the scene of a drug-deal-turned- murder, Ware finds his and his friend's lives in dire danger. The crime Holly witnessed could be the biggest police cover-up this side of New Orleans—and no one's talking. Driven to desperate measures to uncover the truth, Ware stages a coup at a Christmas party for the New Orleans elite, including the mayor, the council chairman, the sheriff, and the superintendent of police, who just happens to be hostage negotiator Caroline Wallace's estranged father.
Cool, calm, controlled. That's Caroline's reputation. But when she's brought in to talk Ware off the proverbial ledge, she realizes no amount of false promises is going to placate this man, who looks even hotter than he did years ago when seventeen-year-old Caroline tried to seduce him. It was his duty to protect her family then. Now it's her turn . . . if she can think fast enough over the pounding of her heart.
When Caroline becomes wrapped up in the drama, it's clear the sizzling tension she shared with Ware never let up. And the harder she tries to defuse the situation, the more she begins to wonder whose side she's really on.

2020 Volvo XC60 Redesign, Price, Release Date – The Volvo XC60 is possibly the maximum popular vehicle coming from Swedish car manufacturer. It's been with us for round 8 years and 3 years ago it faced a big remodel. despite the fact that, Volvo decided to launch the next era of XC60 which its first member will go beneath the name of the 2020 Volvo XC60. way to an nameless photographer we've got a hazard to look this automobile whilst it was being tested on the streets of Amsterdam. despite the fact that many things are nonetheless unknown there are some rumors and estimations.
We aren't precisely certain whilst had been those images taken, however based totally on the heritage it seems they have been taken in either spring or summer time this 12 months. They had been taken in Amsterdam and we don't have a clue why Volvo decided to check new XC60 there. perhaps because Amsterdam appears stunning in spring, at least it seems more beautiful than Gothenburg. the automobile was camouflaged for this reason we couldn't take a close peek at it, however we've controlled to draw some conclusions. we hope you will respect this article on account that we needed to positioned numerous effort so as to finish it.
2020 Volvo XC60 Exterior
So, what can see in these pictures? You should admit that they heavily camouflaged the vehicle stopping us from seeing even the smallest details. All we will see is that design received't extensively exchange. it'll have quite a lot the same form as before. if you look nearer you'll spot taillights which seem narrower evaluating to the present day version. besides this the whole lot else stays a mystery. however, we do assume a big overhaul. perhaps 2020 Volvo XC60 could have a few new lines and curves and perhaps even headlamps and fog lights are going to be redesigned.
2020 Volvo XC60 Interior
The cabin of the 2020 model will be primarily based on SPA platform. thanks to this platform it is going to have greater space for both cargo and passengers. this will increase the general convenience. Seats and dashboard need to be slightly redesigned. contact panel ought to be a good deal wider than the modern-day model. Supposedly these are all changes of the indoors this version will have.
2020 Volvo XC60 Engine
As you might have predicted, Volvo hasn't released any info concerning the engine. but, they have got (possibly intentionally) found out what turned into beneath the hood of the car tested in Amsterdam. certainly one of our sources took an extra mile and checked the license plates of the examined version and got records approximately the engine. in line with this source, the tested version had a 2.0l gasoline T5 which generates 245 hp. but, this doesn't mean 2020 Volvo XC60 is going to use this engine. It's more likely to include several options for extraordinary markets.
some of the feasible alternatives are 4-cylinder gasoline or diesel and even a three-cylinder unit. The electricity of the top unit shouldn't exceed 320 hp. a few specialists even observed a square hole on one of the fenders which could be an get entry to for a plugin. this indicates new XC60 would possibly come as a hybrid or maybe electric car. but, we don't consider in those rumors. A hybrid vehicle is viable, however there's no threat Volvo goes to launch an all-electric XC60. We're still looking forward to the legit bulletins and we're specially looking ahead to hearing the EPA score.
2020 VOLVO XC60 rate AND release DATE
gift version costs among $36,600 and $47,two hundred. considering that 2020 Volvo XC60 is coming with several essential enhancements it's herbal to assume it's miles going to fee few thousand dollars greater. despite the fact that we're ignorant about the release date we are certain it gained't arrive soon. The fine predictions tell us it's going to hit the road in 2018.
