UN chief gravely concerned by report of Israeli air strike in Syria
Thu, 31 Jan 2013 18:26 GMT
Source: reuters // Reuters
(Adds detail)
UNITED NATIONS, Jan 31 (Reuters) - U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon expressed "grave concern" on Thursday over reports that Israeli jets bombed an apparent convoy of weapons near the Lebanese border and urged respect for the sovereignty of countries in the region.
Diplomats, Syrian rebels and regional security sources said on Wednesday that Israeli jets bombed a convoy near the Lebanese border, apparently hitting weapons destined for militant group Hezbollah. Syria denied the reports, saying the target of the air strikes had been a military research center northwest of Damascus.
"The Secretary-General notes with grave concern reports of Israeli air strikes in Syria," Ban's press office said in a statement. "At this time, the United Nations does not have details of the reported incident. Nor is the United Nations in a position to independently verify what has occurred."
"The Secretary-General calls on all concerned to prevent tensions or their escalation in the region, and to strictly abide by international law, in particular in respect of ... sovereignty of all countries in the region," the statement said.

2. "Military research center"?
Researching WHAT, please?
And WHY wouldn't Syrian gov't admit an attack on a Hezbullah convoy? Why pinpoint research labs instead?

5. Israel doesn't need to fly to neighboring Syria to test bombing Iran.
They already flew bombers all the way to Sudan last year to intercept arms to Hamas.

7. Not very likely. Obama already privately gave Israel green light on the Syria bombing.
They got a green light in advance of the operation and that's why Israeli officials were sent ahead of time to talk to US officials. Moreover, all indications are that there was intelligence coordination ahead of time on many levels. It doesn't look like there was any "testing."
For instance, initially there was a cover story put out that it was a convoy headed to Lebanon that was hit. The aim of this was to limit the media frenzy and thereby put less pressure on Syria and its allies for a retaliation. Israel was clearly trying not to rub the attack in Syria's nose, even though they did what they had to do since there were unconventional weapons that were hit.
There was also a story a few days earlier, a false story, that Israel had sabotaged the Fordo nuclear site in Iran. It appears that the CIA was in on this false story. My theory is that this was intended to make the media shy about publicizing such reports until they had better confirmation, and the real objective was not to overly publicize the impending bombing of the Syrian site.
For the record, when Israel bombed a Syrian nuclear site around 2007, there was no media coverage of it at all for weeks. Nobody wanted to admit anything, not the Syrians and not the Russians, whose air defenses in Syria proved impotent. Syria fired not a shot against the invading Israeli aircraft. They had been completely blinded. At the same time cell phone service as far away as Lebanon had been knocked out for several hours, indicating that there was a cyber component to Israel's disabling of Syria's sophisticated Russian radar and missile defenses as they bombed the Syrian nuclear site (in 2007).
Just saying that this latest Israeli operation in Syria was a test of something larger may sound nice and it may fit some paradigm but the facts speak otherwise. The operation was against chemical weapons stocks that were in danger of being used against Israel and the operation stands on its own.

How to Spring-Clean Your Pantry in 6 Easy Steps, According to Melissaby Melissa d'Arabian in Food Network Chef, March 21st, 2015
We moved into a new house last weekend. While it was only a few blocks away from our old house, the logistics were deceptively still monumental. The upside of moving, however, is that you purge, if only to save yourself from having to tape up, carry and unpack yet another box. So, in the spirit of celebrating spring (and because this is all so very fresh in my mind with our move), I'm sharing with you exactly how I do my favorite kind of spring cleaning: Clear the Pantry Week.
First, I should admit up front that I don't love to clean in general. When friends say they find it soothing or relaxing, it only makes me wonder if they've never been to a spa. So let that shed a little bit of light onto my loose use of the term "favorite" when I'm describing any cleaning task. But stay with me here, because Clear the Pantry is a fun game, and I don't mean that in the same way I try to talk my daughters into making their beds every morning by singing our way through the steps. I actually like Clear the Pantry (CTP) Week. And, unlike lots of spring cleaning tasks, CTP will actually save you cash immediately, which is the same thing as making money, except better because the saving is after-tax.
CTP, at its simplest, is a commitment to shop from our own pantries instead of the store, which reduces clutter and improves inventory rotation and cash flow. We'll have fun, your pantry and fridge and freezer will be clean, and you'll have some extra cash in your pocket. Ready?

Priority Development Assistance Fund
The Priority Development Assistance Fund (PDAF), also known as the congressional pork barrel, is a lump-sum appropriation in the annual General Appropriations Act or the National Budget. It is used to fund priority development programs as well as the projects of the government.
The pork barrel funds account for a little over 1 percent of the national budget. PHP 200 million and PHP 70 million are allocated a year for each senator and member of the House of Representatives, respectively.
Priority budgets and programs may be in the form of "hard" projects or infrastructure projects like roads, bridges, school buildings, and the like. These may also be in the form of "soft projects" or non-infrastructure projects like scholarships and livelihood programs.
For representatives, funds are split into PHP 30 million each of the representative's pork barrel for "soft programs" and PHP 40 million for "hard programs". For senators, their pork barrel is evenly split in half for "soft" and "hard" projects.
Legislators refer to a menu of "hard" and "soft" projects which can be funded using congressional allocations to decide on what projects to identify for their constituents. It is contained in the special provisions of the annual General Appropriations Act (GAA).
Legislators can pick from the following projects:
- Education (Scholarships)
- Health (Financial assistance to indigent patients, purchase of medical equipment)
- Livelihood/ social services
- Rural electrification
- Water supply (Construction of water system, installation of pipes/pumps/tanks)
- Financial assistance (For specific programs and projects of Local Government Units (LGUs))
- Public works (Roads, bridges, flood control, school buildings, hospitals, health facilities, public markets, multi-purpose buildings and pavements)
- Irrigation
- Peace and order (Purchase of firetrucks and firefighting equipment, patrol vehicles, prisoners' vans, multicabs, police patrol equipment, construction/repair of fire stations, police stations, jails)
- Housing
- Forest management
- Arts and culture
As these requests cannot be accomodated at the same time, a staff member of each legislator compiles requests by his or her constituents and the office services them according to the time these were submitted to them and the priority.
The summary of PDAF releases for the Fiscal Year 2013 amounted to PHP 11,581,550,888. PHP 7,996,663,888 was used by District Representatives, PHP 1,907,600,000 by Partylist Representatives and PHP 1,677,287,000 by the Upper House.
How it works
- A Senator or Representative makes a request for the release of his or her allocation which is accompanied with a project list. Projects are drawn from a menu specified in the annual budget law.
- The request is sent to the Senate finance committee or the House appropriations committee. It is then endorsed by the committee chairman to the Senate president or the Speaker, who forwards it to the Department of Budget and Management (DBM).
- The DBM, which verifies if the project list conforms to the menu in the budget law, releases the funds to the implementing agency which is identified by the lawmaker.
- The lawmaker, who is furnished a copy of the release document known as the special allotment release order (SARO), is not supposed to meddle in project implementation. Instead, he or she chooses non-government organizations (NGOs) which will receive the lawmaker's funds and implement his or her projects. The transfer is covered by a memorandum of agreement signed among the lawmakers, their implementing agencies and their chosen NGOs.
- A post-project implementation examination will be conducted by auditors.

On Friday, May 31, 14 students throughout East Central Minnesota were added to the list of over 15 million others who have earned a GED since it was first offered in 1942.
Local graduates included Denise Addison, Rachel Atkinson, Adam Cook, Austin Fisher, Steven Kies, Lauren Lattergrass, Amber Lawrence, Tyler Lundstrom, Candice Mobley, Tyler Nagle, Amber Nyquist, Heidi Ollestad and Jesse Scarborough.
Commencement speakers were Rebecca Perrotti, Workforce Development Advisor for Central MN Jobs and Training Services and GED graduate, Steven Kies. Gary Hawkins, Cambridge-Isanti School Board member, and the GED instructors presented each graduate with a Certificate of Achievement.
People from all walks of life have left high school for many different reasons and have gone on to earn a GED. The GED test was designed during World War II as a way for veterans to get a high school equivalency certificate without going back to high school. Approximately 6,000 Minnesotans earn their GED each year.
Earning a high school credential is a stepping-stone toward college, a better career, and family-sustaining wages so graduates recognize the significance of this accomplishment.
"Because we live in a country where second chances are available, I'm able to finish high school with this GED and go on to school this fall at Anoka Ramsey Community College," said Steven Kies, student speaker. "Get your education. It's worth it."
In January 2014 a new version of the GED test will be released which will be more costly and computer-based. Getting your GED is one of the best things you can do for your future, and there's even more good reason to do it in 2013.
For more information about the Adult Basic Education/GED program, contact Vicki Ostrom at 763-689-6228.

Earnie busting to return
By Tom Adams
Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
Norwich City striker Robert Earnshaw is hoping to return to fitness in a fortnight.
Norwich City striker Robert Earnshaw is hoping to return to fitness in a fortnight and reclaim his former status as the Championship's top marksman.
The Canaries star has been out of action since tearing a groin muscle in January, but his recovery has gone smoothly and Earnshaw has now resumed light training.
Norwich had feared losing their star attacker for the remainder of the campaign and news of his rapid recovery will come as a huge boost to boss Peter Grant.
Earnshaw expects to be fully fit in two weeks and now has his sights set on catching Cardiff's Michael Chopra at the top of the Championship goalscoring charts.
"I'm getting there now. I'm kicking a ball and doing everything I would be doing anyway, but strength wise I'm probably only 60 per cent so hopefully over the next two weeks or so I can get closer to 100 per cent," Earnshaw told the club's official website.
"Hopefully I can get back to playing and then hopefully everything else sorts itself out.
"It's crazy really, I've been out for three months and still only four goals behind."

- Lt. Gov. Krolicki says he's an indictment target (11-24-2008)
- With likely Krolicki indictment, about that Senate race ...(11-24-2008)
- Krolicki accuses AG of "shameful" behavior (11-24-2008)
Beyond the Sun
Lt. Gov. Brian Krolicki, looking somber in the old Supreme Court room, announced his pending indictment by a Clark County Grand Jury.
It was a curious moment in the Capitol. Think of a citizen going in front of the media to announce his pending arrest for robbing a bank. Political observers said it was a first in recent history — a Nevada politician announcing his own legal trouble.
No chasing the official down the hall for a statement. No cameras camped on the lawn, or news release from the state attorney general's office.
Instead, it was Krolicki, the former state treasurer, gathering the media and going on the offensive.
He blasted Attorney General Catherine Cortez Masto, and intimated he saw the hand of powerful U.S. Senator Harry Reid.
He decried the secrecy of the grand jury process.
And in this opening move in a chess match for his political future, he won.
Reporters were left without a real sense of what the indictment would be about. Krolicki suggested he believed it had to do with a Legislative Counsel Bureau audit released in May 2007. The audit found he had overspent on marketing and attorney fees while managing the college savings program, which he ran from 2001 to 2006.
If that is the case, the allegations would largely be old news.
So the coverage instead focused on the accusations by Krolicki, a Republican, that the matter was a "partisan witch hunt" by Attorney General Catherine Cortez Masto, a Democrat. He suggested that Sen. Harry Reid was behind the investigation.
"All Democratic partisan roads lead to Harry Reid," Krolicki said when asked if he thought there had been a conversation between Masto and Reid. "Reid has a long reach across the country."
Krolicki had just weeks ago publicly announced he was considering challenging Reid in 2010.
Asked whether he had announced his interest in the Senate seat so he could establish a motive for why the grand jury was partisan, he said no.
The attorney general's office began presenting evidence Tuesday before a county grand jury in Las Vegas in its investigation of Krolicki. Chief Deputy Attorney General Conrad Hafen was presented the case at the Regional Justice Center. An indictment could come as early as Dec. 2.
The grand jury investigation, and possibility of indictment, had been long rumored in the Capitol. But Krolicki and his attorneys tried to say they were caught unaware when they were sent a letter on Friday from the attorney general's office announcing it would seek an indictment of him.
Reid denied speaking with Masto about the investigation. (Reid has not been shy about offering advice to other Democratic elected leaders, according to sources.)
Masto, meanwhile, was handcuffed by the law, which prevented her from talking about a grand jury investigation unless or until a jury hands up an indictment to a judge.
To be sure, though Krolicki won the first day's news cycle (Review Journal headline: " 'PARTISAN ENTERPRISE': Krolicki blames Reid for inquiry") this is far from good news for him.
Coming out now and announcing his possible indictment means he and his attorneys believe this is virtually a done deal. One of his attorneys, Kent Robison, said, "The old saying goes that a good prosecutor could indict a ham sandwich."
Even if he is found not guilty, the stench of an indictment is a tough one for a politician to remove from the public's mind. And, if convicted, he would have to leave office.
But if Krolicki somehow survives, it would appear his political instincts will serve him well.
Sun reporter Jeff German contributed to this story.

Johannesburg - Julius Malema requested time to study a docket on speeding and other charges against him when he appeared in the Vanderbijlpark Magistrate's Court on Wednesday.
This was confirmed by Gauteng traffic police spokesman Obed Sibasa.
"His legal team requested the case docket and time to go through or study the docket and advise their client for a possible plea," Sibasa said in a statement.
He said Malema had apologised for committing or breaking road rules.
"However, we are convinced that we have a water-tight case and looking at a harsh sentence or fine."
Malema, leader of the Economic Freedom Fighters, was charged with reckless and negligent driving after he was arrested in December for driving at 215km/h in a 120km/h zone.
Sibasa said a number of fatal crashes had occurred in the province as a result of excessive speed and the province was intent on prosecuting those in the wrong.
"As Gauteng traffic police, we will not hesitate to arrest, irrespective of who you are, your social standing, religious or political affiliation," he said.
Journalists were denied entry into the courtroom by security guards. They claimed they were given orders not to allow any media representatives inside.
Justice department spokesman Mthunzi Mhaga apologised for the treatment. He said the media played an important role in the fight against crime.
The matter was postponed to February 28.

The Impact of Globalization on Employment Generation in India: The case of emerging 'Big Shopping Malls and Retailers'
Globalization in this paper concerns diffusion of idea, and technique of doing business. Organised retailing and retailing through big shopping complexes and malls is an idea, which is drawn from within and across nations. Thus, this idea is necessarily global and expansion of this idea is an integral part of globalisation. Growth of organized retail sector in India is being seen by some as the next driver of the Indian economy after the information technology boom. Some have argued that the farmers are being exploited, prices are being manipulated and small traders are being displaced by the corporate retailers. A recent Parliamentary Standing Committee report on retails has made a recommendation for "a blanket ban on domestic corporate heavyweights and foreign retailers from entering into retail trade in grocery, fruits and vegetables". Global studies on large scale retailing have also contradictory views. Therefore, more intensive studies using primary data are required for taking better policy decisions concerning both organized and unorganized retails in India. It is in this context, using primary survey data, the following analytical questions concerning the expansion of big shopping malls and organized retailing with respect to vegetables sales are answered in this study: -- How the vegetable farmers are benefited from the emerging retailing and Shopping malls in big cities in India? -- Whether the new pattern of business is more employment intensive? The answers to the above questions varied from state to state. Unorganized retailers in most states except in Karnataka felt the threat to their survival. Organized retail did increase employment in both rural and urban areas.

[Rating: 4/5]
By Willie Krischke — September 20, 2010
"The American" is a film about a man who makes specialized weapons for assassins. It is a very dangerous and secretive line of work. But this is not a film about the line of work; every frame and shot of "The American" is about the man, played by George Clooney. He is careful and secretive, cautious and thorough. His line of work demands it. He cannot have friends, or lovers; he can trust no one or ever let his guard down. In many ways, "The American" is a film about loneliness and desire.
In the shocking opening sequence, set against an unnamed snowscape, we become aware of just how high the stakes are for Clooney. It goes without saying that there is no room for error; we are shown, and Clooney is reminded, that there is no room for levity, relaxation or trust either. There is always, and will always be, someone very good at killing people trying to kill him.
Or maybe there isn't always someone trying to kill him. But how would you ever know? They're not going to come knocking at your door, announcing themselves. Clooney relocates from the snow to a picturesque Italian village, built into a hillside. It looks ready to topple if anyone in it breathed wrong. Clooney's psyche is similar. The village is a full of winding alleys, and divergent paths heading up and down, splitting and merging. It's an easy place to get lost, and a terrific place for a tense, suspenseful chase scene.
But you may wait longer for that chase scene than you'd like. Because "The American" is more concerned with portraying the inner life of its main character, we spend a long time wondering if all the ominous portents that Clooney sees are ever going to add up to anything. Is someone trying to kill him, or is it all in his head? Could it be both? Is the priest merely perceptive, as priests ought to be, or does he know something? This new client seems fishy—is Clooney digging his own grave has he builds a weapon for her? And what of the prostitute?
Ah yes, the prostitute. Clooney longs for connection, but connection is dangerous. He visits a brothel, and when Clara (played by Violante Placido, who clearly has no problem with nudity) isn't there, he turns around and goes home. She asks to see him outside the brothel, breaking all kinds of rules-–both his and hers. He falls for her and grows suspicious of her at the same time. This makes for some wonderfully tense and tender scenes, some of the best I've seen in a movie this year.
"The American" was directed by Anton Corbijn, whose only other film (the excellent "Control," about Joy Division frontman Ian Curtis) was about just how unglamorous being a rock star really is. Corbijn seems intent to drain the world of all its false notions of romance and glamour, and to do it with style. For while "The American" is certainly a measured, thoughtful piece about loneliness and psychological torment, it is also, always, incredibly stylish. It is more than a little reminiscent of classics like "The Conversation" and "Day of the Jackal;" the settings, the shots, and the costumes have a distinctly European flavor to them. (If I have one complaint about "The American," it's that the assassins are terribly easy to pick out in a crowd; they're the only ones wearing thousand dollar suits.) But while it is worlds away in its cinematic qualities, it also reminded me a great deal of the films of Martin Scorsese in its morality. This is a film about the terrible cost to the soul of engaging in dark and violent work, and the inevitable, inescapable end to that kind of lifestyle. George Clooney's American may look, talk and act like he lives in a completely different world from Henry Hill, but he doesn't. It's the same world, and it operates according to the same rules, whether you're hustling on the streets of New York or building assassin's weapons in an Italian villa.

Kirsten Dunst is a fox
Kirsten Dunst was spotted leaving the Groucho Club in London looking like the beautiful princess that she is. I wish I could sweep her off her feet and marry her, then we'd spin around on a hill top shouting our love for each other. No, wait, not that. The opposite of that. I'd recommend somebody hit her in the face with a shovel, but, I mean, look at it. What would be the point?
NOTE: There's nothing sexier than a 25-year-old with the body of an 80-year-old. Especially if they're not wearing a bra. Rowr!

hydrogenation of 2 butene
Best Results From Wikipedia Yahoo Answers Youtube
From Wikipedia
2-Butene is an acyclic alkene with four carbon atoms. It is the simplest alkene to shown cis/trans-isomerism (also known as (E/Z)-isomerism); that is, it exists as two geometrical isomers cis-2-butene ((Z)-2-butene), shown at the right, and trans-2-butene ((E)-2-butene), not shown.
It is a petrochemical, produced by the catalytic cracking of crude oil. Its main uses are in the production of gasoline (petrol) and butadiene, although some 2-butene is also used to produce the solvent butanone via hydration to 2-butanol followed by oxidation.
The two isomers are extremely difficult to separate by distillation because of the proximity of their boiling points (4 °C for cis and 1 °C for trans). The more elongated trans-molecule which has a tougher job to get its tail free from the liquid has the higher boiling point, the more rounded cis isomer escapes easier, thus having a lower boiling piont. However, separation is unnecessary in most industrial settings, as both isomers behave similarly in most of the desired reactions. A typical industrial 2-butene mixture is 70% (Z)-2-butene (cis-isomer) and 30% (E)-2-butene (trans-isomer). Butane and 1-butene are common impurities, present at 1% or more in industrial mixtures, which also contain smaller amounts of isobutene, butadiene and butyne.
1-Butene is an organic compound and one of the isomers of butene. The formula is C4H8.
1-Butene is stable in itself but polymerizes exothermically. It is highly flammable and readily forms explosive mixtures with air. It is, however, incompatible with: Metal salts, fluorine and other halogens, nitrogen oxides, boron trifluoride, hydrohalic acids, and strong oxidizing agents.
From Yahoo Answers
Answers:e) 2-iodo-2-isopropylbutane; via a Markovnikov addition
Answers:C4H8 + H2 -> C4H10 1 mole of the alkene uses 1 mole of hydrogen moles of butene in 65 g = 65 / 56.10 = 1.15 moles moles of hydrogen = 1.15 moles = 1.15 x 2.016 = 2.318 g
Answers:The molar mass is about 56 g/mol (13,000 g)/(56 g/mol) = 232.14 mol There is one double bond per molecule, so you want to hydrogenate 232.24 mol of double bonds, for which you need 232.14 mol of H , or about 464.3 g of H : CH CH=CH CH + H CH CH CH CH
Answers:C4H8 --> C4H10 The molecular weight of butene is 4 x 12 + 8 x 1 = 56g/mole 30.0g / 56g/mole = 0.536 moles 0f butene (all isomers of butene are C4H8) You need 2 moles of hydrogen (1 mole of H2) to hydrogenate each mole of butene, so you need 1.07 moles of H, so 1.07g

LANCASTER, Pa. (August 5, 2013) — Armstrong Residential Ceilings is coming to the rescue of homeowners looking to spice up their living spaces in a large way with a complete line of ceiling products to help fit any design or budget.
"A beautiful ceiling for your living spaces should never be a second thought. Just as a wall color or flooring choice are always options when re-doing a room, ceilings should also be top of mind," says Lori Rowley, marketing manager, Armstrong Residential Ceilings. "Ceilings can add beauty to a home while maintaining a healthy budget."
If looks and other practical solutions aren't enough of a reason to invest in a new ceiling, maybe more money in your pocket will do the trick. Residential ceilings also can increase the value of your home, says Lawrence Yun, chief economist of the National Association of Realtors (NAR). "Your home is a significant investment and to be able to increase the luxury look of it without breaking the bank will increase your chances for a growing profit from the sale of your home."
Janet Keller, a buyer's representative at Seattle-based Windenmere Real Estate, said dated popcorn ceilings lead homeowners to lose money on the sale of their home. "Not only does it lead to less money, but the fact that the ceilings cannot be easily cleaned also is a deterrent for some buyers, so getting rid of old popcorn ceilings will, in fact, boost the value of your home. Ceilings are more important than one would think and should be considered whether you are selling your home or not."
Armstrong offers many decorative options in tile, plank and panel ceiling choices. Looks range from tin and modern to natural wood looks and traditional styles.
Some of the most popular products are:
"We are offering you a solution for every ceiling need – whether you want a quick change with the seasons or if you need sound control, Armstrong has the product that makes the most sense for you and your home," Rowley said.
Armstrong ceilings are available at home improvement retailers nationwide in the United States and Canada. Click here to find a local retailer. For more information, call 1-800-233-3823 or visit Armstrong Residential Ceilings.

the fireing pin on the sks
I use heard the firering pin on the sks wears down pretty fast is there anybody who has shot one and experienced this??
Where did you hear this?
I haven't found it to be an issue with either of mine, but my
Russian did come with a replacement in the buttstock
Be careful to carefully clean your bolt carrier, because
dried out cosmoline can contribute to slamfires.
Well, about 1967 I took a Chinese SKS from a fellow that was not going to be using it. I'm still shooting it. Firing pin has not worn out yet. That's 45 years- plus however much it had been shot before I got it.
Oh okay so i should have nothing to worry about if I ever want to buy one. Thank you both
Worry about that...
firing pin
Even if it does need to be replaced its probably one of the easiest firing pin changes ever. Really cheap too.
Never Forget.
I really like it when people throw out imaginary BS like this. The firing pin on an SKS is no more likely to wear out than an anvil is likely to wear out from making horse shoes. The early Russian models came with a spare because, A. it was easily changed and B. it was used in really nasty sub zero temps that could break them if they were made by peasant conscripts who had no understanding of heat treatment.
And remember to stagger your gas rings when you reassemble your AR bolt carrier group. Putting a bb under the discopnnector of an AR will make it full auto. Clip a few coils off a spring in an AK and it, too will go full auto. Mercury in the hollow point of a pistol bullet will make it explode like a shotgun. Newton's third law does not apply to firearms. And, exploding bullets like Reagan was shot with can go off at any time endangering the doctors working on you.
Why do you think Batman wears that suit? :)

Have Honda Questions? Ask a Honda Repair Expert.
Hello. Thank you for using Just Answer. I'm Robert and will give my best effort in answering your question. Bank 1 Sensor 1 is the sensor in the rear of the engine installed at the top of the converter. Bank 1 is the rear side of the engine (firewall side) and bank 2 is the front side of the engine (radiator side). Sensors 1 are before the converters speaking as the exhaust flows out of the engine into the exhaust system... Sensors 1 will be first then after the converters are sensors 2. A diagram is just below.
Experts do not have funds added to their accounts until the answer has been accepted by the customer. If you have found my answer helpful I ask that you ACCEPT so I may be compensated. If you need further assistance, I encourage you to ask and I will make every effort to assist you until you are satisfied. I make every effort to ensure high quality and accuracy of my answers.
Can you give me a closer idea where I can find Bank 1 Sensor 1 and I assume the cat is the unit just aft of the honey comb basket looking think?
This vehicle actually has 3 cats. Honda calls the converters "WU-TWC". There is one front one, one rear one and one past the flex pipe (the basket looking thing). Are these images more helpful?
The first 2 converters are generally considered "warm up converters" and the one after the flex pipe is called the post converter.
yes, las question when honda says Bank 1 Sensor 1 is bad along with the Cat, would they be talking about the cat that sensor one is mounted to?
I can't say what Honda is speaking of. However what I can tell you is that you CAN'T diagnose a converter as faulty with a malfunctioning A/F sensor. The engine computer uses the A/F sensors not only for fuel delivery calculations but also to monitor the effeciency of the converters. So, how can you test a converter with a faulty A/F sensor???
What is the mileage on this Honda?
They said they needed to replace AF sensor and Cat because of P0420 and P2686
Maybe I should start with a replaced AF and see if the Engine light goes off.
You have to replace the AF sensor before you can diagnose the converter as faulty.
Will do. Thank you

This is a place where you can filter out the world," a businessman says of his garden-rich estate on the island of Java, in the Indonesian archipelago. "When you enter it, every question, every concern, seems to be lifted from you." As such, it's the perfect antidote to the clamor of Jakarta, where he and his wife spend most of their time. Set among terraced rice fields beyond the Jakarta plains, it's worlds away from the capital's crowds, freewheeling traffic and inescapable fumes.
The couple had long owned a weekend house in the area; after purchasing a neighboring parcel of land, they wanted to expand its gardens. All throughout history, "people have built gardens in their later years, after turmoil and conflict," the husband notes. After years of doing business on an international scale, he was ready to do the same.
"It's basically a big living room," Bill Bensley says. The beauty of these pavilions lies in their simplicity—their elegantly sloped rooflines, their one-room floor plans.
He wanted a place to pursue low-key activities—"walking, sitting, resting, meditating, praying, breathing, concentrating," in his own words. ("I'm not athletic," he teases. "I'm the opposite.") And it needed to reflect the style of Java's laid-back neighbor to the east. "Both my wife and I love Bali," he says. "We love the art, and we love the peacefulness of it."
So, as it happens, does Bill Bensley, an American landscape architect based in Thailand, whose Bensley Design Studios, with offices in Bangkok and Bali, offers landscaping, architectural and interior design services. His clients wanted "a garden that's full of water and has many places to discover and many places to wander off and sit," he recalls. They also requested a pavilion in which to entertain, as well as other structures—a necessity during the rainy season, when each day brings a cloudburst that can last for hours.
The original property included a water garden in which a stream was diverted into a pair of stepped, overflowing ponds. Bensley conceived this area as a kind of foyer to the newer gardens. Working with Jirachai Rengthong, his firm's head horticulturist, he distinguished the seven new pocket gardens from one another by varying their heights and vegetation. "Bill used different levels of the property to make different rooms," the husband says. "It's almost a 40-acre house, where every square inch has been planned."
To enter the new gardens, you pass through one of those elegant stepped structures that the Balinese call a gate—a diminutive sandstone edifice that, in this case, perches at the edge of a pond. From this point on, the already ethereal landscape—rice fields, with volcanoes looming hazily in the distance—takes on a dreamlike quality, enhanced by the region's frequent mists, as it vacillates, eternally, between sun and rain.
The ethereal landscape takes on a dreamlike quality, enhanced by the region's frequent mists, as it vacillates, eternally, between sun and rain.
Beyond, a spectacular all-purple garden bursts with color; its plantings—among them alternanthera, iris and blue agave—are violet, lavender or purple-tinged. "Every plant is blended and chosen to match," the husband says. Like almost all the others, this garden "developed more or less in the field as we were doing it," Bensley adds. The only exceptions were the spectacular batik lawns, named for the famous fabric that is a Javanese specialty; here, Bensley traced a wavy pattern—as precisely repetitive as the fabric itself—out of plants, shrubs and trees, setting them off with dozens of Serdang palms. "It was probably the only garden that really developed on paper," he says. Given its complexity, it's easy to see why.
The teak pavilion, to the east of the purple garden, was inspired by a wantilan—a hip-roofed, open-sided structure, traditionally used for performances, that can be found at the center of virtually every village on Bali. Historically, many were used for cockfighting; this one, happily, is for cocktails. "It's basically a big living room," Bensley says.
The beauty of these pavilions lies in their simplicity—their elegantly sloped rooflines, their one-room floor plans. "This one, though, ended up being a pavilion with a sort of apartment down below," explains Bensley. To stand at its upstairs rail is to "see beautiful, beautiful art and gardens," in the husband's words. You can also hear cascading water: a waterfall at the adjacent swimming pool's infinity edge—"a fountain flowing into a pond," the husband calls it. By fashioning the pool bottom of glass, Bensley was able to create the most magical space of all—a "golden cave" just below the water.
To enter this space, you pass behind the waterfall, through an imposing entrance of golden sandstone—a setting so majestic that even Aida would have felt at home. Inside, the room seems to shimmer as sunlight filters down through the water above. For visitors tempted to linger here—and who wouldn't be?—there's a bronze four-poster bed on which to rest, and twin bunk beds, all of Bensley's own design, perched on adjoining boulders, for visiting children.
The design process moved with surprising spontaneity. "Would you like to have a phu-phu?" Bensley asked his client, casually, at some point. It's a question that might have mystified a stranger to these parts. The term refers to the house of a village leader, and the answer was yes. Now this structure is yet one more surprise in a landscape that teems with them. Nothing seems ordinary here. "There are so many things to focus on," as the husband puts it. "You never get tired of it."

Christina returns to cover the swaps and the shake-ups.
Cunningham was one of the better position player prospects in the White Sox chain, so getting him for something of an organizational-filler type represents a minor coup for the Snakes. Richar isn't worthless, but he also isn't gifted with a lot of star potential, not in a system that stole Alberto Callaspo from the Angels and which also has to figure out Mark Reynolds' eventual infield home. They're already into the range of having to ask themselves what benefit there is to offering Orlando Hudson arbitration this winter, or whether they might not be better off non-tendering or dealing him, so even though Richar was already up to Triple-A, he wasn't gifted with a great future within the organization. In contrast, Cunningham could end up hitting his way into an already-talented future-minded outfield with Chris B. Young, Carlos Quentin, Carlos Gonzalez and Justin Upton. Quality outfielders can end up paying off in spades, and if Cunningham develops beyond being "just" an exceptionally disciplined hitter who delivers base hits and generates walks, he'll end up making the White Sox look really bad.
That said, the question is whether he'll develop or not. He's only 21 and already in High-A, and hitting .294/.376/.476 in the Carolina League is really promising. However, it doesn't involve a lot of doubles--which might project to more damage as he fills out--nor does it involve a lot of homers, so while he's patient enough to draw walks in 11 percent of his PA this year, and relatively quick (stealing 22 bags in 30 attempts), he's also a non-center fielder with offensive skills that must improve if his bat is going to play in a corner in the big leagues. It's sort of the same quandary the Sox faced when they had Jeff Abbott coming up; minor-league hitting machines are all well and good, but what do you do with them if they can't consistently slug better than .450 in the big leagues? It's worthwhile to invest in finding out if Cunningham can beat that rap, especially considering his age, and also considering what the Snakes had to give up to get him. All told, another nifty deal pulled off by Josh Byrnes.

A system without much upside got some help in the 2006 draft, but it's still a long way away from making an impact on the big league club.

50 Years Since John F. Kennedy's Assassination
What was it about President John F. Kennedy that touched the hearts of ordinary Israelis? It was already Shabbat in Israel when President Kennedy was assassinated on November 22, 1963. The mood in Israel was somber. Just as Israelis remember where they were when they heard that Prime Minister Yitzchak Rabin had been assassinated in 1995, those who lived in Israel 50 years ago recall a similar mood of shock and sadness. Children were sent home early from youth group activities, mothers cried in the streets and the country's citizens walked around dazed, as news of the assassination in Dallas, Texas spread.
# # #
JEWISH NATIONAL FUND (JNF) began in 1901 as a dream and vision to reestablish a homeland in Israel for Jewish people everywhere. Jews the world over collected coins in iconic JNF Blue Boxes, purchasing land and planting trees until ultimately, their dream of a Jewish homeland was a reality. JNF gives all generations of Jews a unique voice in building a prosperous future for the land of Israel and its people.
JNF embodies both heart and action; our work is varied in scope but singular in benefit. We strive to bring an enhanced quality of life to all of Israel's residents, and translate these advancements to the world beyond. JNF is greening the desert with millions of trees, building thousands of parks, creating new communities and cities for generations of Israelis to call home, bolstering Israel's water supply, helping develop innovative arid-agriculture techniques, and educating both young and old about the founding and importance of Israel and Zionism.
JNF is a registered 501(c)(3) organization and United Nations NGO, which continuously earns top ratings from charity overseers.
For more information on JNF, call 888-JNF-0099 or visit www.jnf.org.

Yes I know I need to update my websiteJune 23, 2016
Yes I know I need to update my website, but I'm incredibly busy building amazing sites for some other lovely people! Here are a few from the last few weeks!
New Hosting PackagesJanuary 6, 2014
I'm now providing split server hosting for optimal site performance and space requirements for £50 per annum.
What Does That Even Mean?
Well I'll tell you. Previously blackdog media hosting server was a single space for both website and e-mails. However, most clients use multiple devices (smart phones, tablets etc) to access their e-mail using IMAP. This means that, with the passage of time, the space would fill up with e-mails.
The other problem is that with this amount of continuous connection to the web server, you can affect your website performance.
New Server Configuration
So we're now providing multiple server solution which gives you the following:
- Unlimited e-mail space with full IMAP and SMTP servers
- 3GB of really fast website hosting (nginx)
For only £50 per year (no VAT)
Each additional GB is £10 per annum, although for most sites this is more than adequate.
Using facebook lists to control what you seeSeptember 17, 2013
Quick tip – if you're not already aware, Facebook uses an algorithm to decide what it thinks you want to see. So if you haven't interacted with your great Uncle Quebert in some time, it will probably auto-decide that you no longer like him, and choose to filter anything he does from your timeline.
This takes about 10 mins to set up, so it depends on how much you actually care as to whether or not you want to do it. What you need to do is create a list. On the website version create a new custom list:
- From your home page, scroll down to the Friends section and click More
- Click Create List
- Write in the list's name
- Enter the names of friends you want to add to this list in the Members section
- Click Create
Once the list is created, add everyone to it that you want to see (I have one called 'everyone').
Then go back to the left bar and hover over the list, you'll see a little pencil icon appear. Click it and choose 'add to favourites' which causes it to appear with the news feed shortcuts at the top left.
Final step, click the list itself then at the top right click manage list then choose what you want to see (I chose status updates & photos).
One caveat is that Facebook are likely to change everything at some point so this process may get a sudden irrevocable makeover.
Make your iPhone battery last longerOctober 12, 2012
Lots of complaints from people saying their battery doesn't last well on iOS, here are 4 tips that should help it last more than a day.
1. Be selective about your push notifications
They run in the background all the time, and seem to be added by some apps despite you saying no.
Here's how:
Turn notifications off in Settings > Notifications – press Edit (top right) then drag apps you don't want to hear from to the 'not in notification center' section.
2. Turn down your screen brightness
This is big battery saver, for obvious reasons.
Here's how:
Settings > Brightness & Wallpaper – adjust the slider to a level where it's as low as you can handle.
3. Turn off location services
Here's how:
Turning off location services in apps that don't require it. Lots of apps use location services and I can only assume it's for some sort of marketing information (I'm looking at you facebook).
Here's how:
To turn off location services, Settings > Privacy > Location Services – change any apps to off if you wish to disable them.
4. Turn off your push data
If you're relaxed about your mail, then you don't need to read every e-mail the very moment it's sent, you can turn off push. For me this has been a great battery life saver. You can set your phone to 'Fetch' email periodically, the less frequently it checks for mail then the less battery your phone will use. You will always have the option to manually go to your mail and pull down to refresh.
Here's how:
Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendar > Fetch New Data – slide push to Off,
If you really want a phone with an epic battery, you can always change to a Nokia 3310 which, along with cockroaches, will survive the nuclear apocalypse, become self aware and one day rule the planet.
Google tips for more effective searchesFebruary 28, 2012
Google is capable of lots more than standard searches. You can use operators to great effect which will give you more accurate results and help you in your mission to syphon through the dirge.
Here are some of the most useful:
Search a specific website
site:blackdogmedia.co.uk hello
Adding site: followed by a website (without the www. or http://) will give you search results from that particular site.
Using a minus sign to exclude results
Using a – (hypen, minus sign, dash) will exclude a particular key word from the google result.
Quote marks to search for an exact phrase
For example, "the quick brown fox". This is apparently a handy one for cheating in pub quizzes…someone told me.
Other Tips
There are lots of handy google uses. For example, google can do maths 5*7/34 (5 x 7 divided by 34). Or unit conversion, by typing 100 kilograms in pounds you'll discover the answer is 220.462262.
You can search for specific file types by typing filetype:pdf (returns PDF documents only) or filetype:doc blackdog tab will return word documents with blackdog tab from the Led Zeppelin song (no relation to the name of my company).
Merry ChristmasDecember 24, 2011
Well it's finally here – have an amazing Christmas and new year. Here's to an amazing 2011 & even better 2012.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 17/11/2010 (2470 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
THEY look like barcodes on steroids -- cryptic two-dimensional configurations of geometric shapes marketing officials say will change the way companies peddle their wares and consumers live their lives.
They're called QR codes -- the QR stands for "quick response" -- and they essentially provide smartphone users with an instant bridge between the physical world and the web world.
The codes have already started to show up in Winnipeg in a few newspaper ads for things like the new Chevrolet Cruze and Sheps hair transplants.
But marketing experts predict the trickle will turn into a flood over the next year or two as smartphones become increasingly popular and more companies start using websites and social media to connect with customers.
Here, in a nutshell, is how the technology works. Someone with a cellphone that's equipped with QR-code-reader software -- usually a smartphone -- points the phone camera at the QR symbol and snaps a picture. The software scans the code and provides the user with a link to a website with additional information about the product. That could include text, videos and links to blogs or social media sites where others talk about their products.
"It's a new way for our clients to reach their audience more directly," said Callum Beattie of Neuhaus Design, the local firm that designed the Sheps Hair Transplant ad campaign. "The benefit is that the public can get information, maps, schedules, or special deals on items or topics of interest to them in that moment of interest."
And the potential applications don't stop with print ads. The codes can also be used on things like billboards, business cards, bus and subway ads, product labels and even on buildings.
Want some information on that turn-of-the-century building you stumbled upon during your Sunday afternoon stroll through the Exchange District? It could be just a click away if the building has a QR symbol on the wall.
Ditto if you want to go on a virtual tour of that house with the For Sale sign on the lawn.
Mobile marketing experts like Kyle Romaniuk of Winnipeg-based Cocoon Branding and Daniel St.-Pierre of Montreal-based Didjet Inc. say the possibilities are endless.
"The only limit it has is the limit your imagination gives it," St.-Pierre said in an interview.
Although the codes have been in use in Japan since the mid-1990s, it's only been in the last two or three years they've started to gain a foothold in North America -- and even later in Canada.
Romaniuk said Cocoon has only used them a couple of times. Once was in a marketing campaign it's developing for a local client and the other was in a promotional photo for a new line of modular furniture from one of its own divisions.
"They're definitely still an emerging thing (in Winnipeg)," Romaniuk said. "Not everyone necessarily knows what they are yet."
But St.-Pierre said it won't stay that way for much longer. "I believe it's just a matter of people getting up to speed phone-wise. A lot of people still have traditional cellphones."
Another marketing expert said for QR codes to become mainstream in Canada, most of the cellphones on the market are going to have to come pre-equipped with code readers. "As that becomes a standard thing... then it starts getting really exciting," said Suzanne Raitt, vice-president of innovation and marketing for the Canadian Newspaper Association.

Canon Announces Four New Flatbed Scanners
canon announced four new scanners today: the lide 70, lide 600f, canoscan 4400f, and the canoscan 8600f (which is the successor to the pc magazine editors' choice canoscan 8400f). all four are flatbed scanners, and all lack automatic document feeders. however, three of the four include transparency adaptors to scan film.
the lide 70, the only one of the four that can't scan film, is the low-end model in this batch, with a claimed 2400 pixel-per-inch (ppi) optical resolution and four scan buttons on its front panel. these controls are for copying and scanning to e-mail, a photo image file format, or a pdf image file.
the other three models all claim 4800 ppi resolution, which is more than sharp enough to capture 35-mm images suitable for enlarged prints. however, there are important differences in each model's film scanning features. the lide 600f is limited to strips of 35-mm film, whereas the canoscan 4400f can scan both 35-mm film strips and mounted 35-mm slides. on the other hand, the canoscan 8600f can handle strips of 35-mm film, mounted 35-mm slides, and strips of 120 medium format film.
all three devices offer seven scan buttons on the front panelfor copying and for scanning to a photo image format, e-mail, and a choice of pdf formats, including searchable pdfs. the 600f is the only scanner in the group with a built-in vertical stand. this feature is not useful for slides, but it lets you partially open the unit's cover to drop in a piece of paper or photo to scan.
canon says all four scanners will be available in august, at $80 street for the lide 70, $100 for the canoscan 4400f, $150 for the lide 600f, and $180 for the canoscan 8600f.

Poems by Shamba Kaunda : 11 / 50
Dreams - Poem by Shamba Kaunda
Long and sweet night it will be,
Night for only you and me,
I pray for dawn not to come,
For the song to be sang all night is one,
I plead for daylight to wait,
For this night decides our fate,
I beg darkness to stay,
For morn will take this sweetness away,
Twilight be patient please,
And tell dusk to be at ease,
Let the moon beam,
For this night is for me and my dream,
I cast incantations upon owls to be quite,
For us to sleep and dream and snore all night.

2014 Canada GP: McLaren Formula One F1 Race Preview
Posted by: ASkyler on Jun 03, 2014 - 06:55 AM
2014 Canada GP: McLaren Formula One F1 Race Preview
This weekendâs Canadian Grand Prix is Formula 1âs first foray of the year to North America. Itâs a popular event with fans and drivers alike because the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve usually throws up an exciting and unpredictable race, and the vibrant city of Montreal provides a colourful backdrop to the on-track activity.
Circuit Gilles Villeneuve facts & stats
The Circuit Gilles Villeneuve is the first high-speed track of the 2014 campaign. The cars exceed 300km/h (186mph) on four occasions around the lap, but the corners are all relatively slow, and that places an emphasis on three key areas of performance: top speed, braking and traction.
From a driving point of view, the 4.361km (2.710-mile) circuit is hard to tame because the walls are close and the apex kerbs high; the smallest error can result in a crash. The final corner in particular has claimed its share of superstars, and is known colloquially as "The Wall of Champions".
The Canadian Grand Prixâs association with Formula 1 dates back to 1967, the year that Montrealâs Ile Notre Dame was built in the St Lawrence River to host Expo â67. The early F1 races were staged at Mosport, near Toronto, before the event found its permanent home in Montreal in 1978.
The circuit has been updated several times, the most recent changes taking place in 2002 when the approach to the Hairpin (Turn 10) was shortened and the pitlane exit was lengthened. As a result of those changes, the number of race laps was increased from 69 to 70.
Harsh winters and hot summers take their toll on the circuitâs asphalt. Despite being re-surfaced only a few years ago, bumps and cracks are already appearing and cars have to be set-up accordingly. However, the track surface remains surprisingly smooth, which is why Pirelli are taking their Soft (Prime) and Supersoft (Option) tyre compounds to the race - the same as at Monaco a fortnight ago.
McLaren has an impressive record in Canada, having won the race 13 times. Among those victories is Jenson Buttonâs magnificent victory in 2011, when he drove from last to first and took the lead on the final lap of the race. Kevin Magnussen has never previously raced at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve.
Circuit Gilles Villeneuve - the stats you need
Race distance 70 laps (305.270km/189.700 miles)
Start time 14:00 (local)/18:00 (GMT)
Circuit length 4.361km/2.710 miles
2013 winner Sebastian Vettel (Red Bull RB9) 70 laps in 1hr32m09.143s (198.759km/h)
2013 pole Sebastian Vettel (Red Bull RB9) 1m25.425s (183.782km/h)
Lap record Rubens Barrichello (Ferrari F2004) 1m13.622s (213.246km/h)
First championship race 1978
What makes it special High top speeds, lots of overtaking places and plenty to do in the evenings
Wins from pole position 15
Track abrasiveness Low. Pirelli are taking their two softest tyre compounds to the race
Pirelli tyre choice Supersoft (Option)/Soft (Prime)
2013 winning strategy Two stops
Fuel consumption High. Nearly 70 per cent of the lap is spent on full throttle, with lots of hard acceleration from slow-speed corners
Brakewear High. There are seven major braking areas around the lap, with the heaviest deceleration peaking at 5.5g into the final chicane. Brake wear and temperatures have to be carefully monitored
Weather Montrealâs coastal location can throw up all types of weather in June. Last year there was rain in qualifying and sunshine during the race, and the teams should be prepared for anything this weekend
DRS zones Two - along the start-finish straight and on the approach to the final corner
Turbo effect High, due to lots of acceleration from slow speeds
Safety Car likelihood High. Ten of the last 15 Canadian Grands Prix have been interrupted by the Safety Car, with nearly half of the race in 2011 spent behind it
Grid advantage The racing line is on the right-hand-side: if itâs been a rain-free weekend and rubber has built up from practice and qualifying, then it holds a slight advantage at the start
Pitlane time 21s
McLaren at the Canadian Grand Prix
Wins 13 (1968, 1973, 1974, 1976, 1988, 1990, 1992, 1999, 2005, 2007, 2010, 2011, 2012)

Fastest laps 11 (1971, 1981, 1988, 1990, 1992, 1997, 2000, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2011)

"I really enjoy the Canadian Grand Prix - itâs one of those races where everything just feels right. The city is fantastic, the fans are friendly, loyal to the sport and incredibly supportive, the track is intense, and the racing is usually pretty hectic. Itâs a place that simply produces great Formula 1.
"It was a positive for the whole team to put some points back on the board at Monaco after a difficult few races; weâre obviously still far away from where we want to be, but itâs important that we maintain our aim of continuous development throughout the whole season. Although weâre still a long way from the leaders, weâve matched the general rate of development since the start of the season, which is a positive.
"In Canada, the weather can always play a key role - the forecast currently looks good, but you never know when you pull back the curtains in the morning whether youâre going to be faced with blue skies, or grey clouds and pelting rain. Weâll probably get a bit of both next week."

"The Canadian Grand Prix is one of those races Iâm really looking forward to: Iâve always watched it on TV, and itâs always looked like one of the very best, most enjoyable, and most dramatic events of the season.
"The track looks like a lot of fun; itâs got a good blend of corners, and itâs the kind of place where you want the car nicely hooked up and beneath you because, apart from the back straight, itâs pretty much always changing direction. So itâs a bit like Monaco in that respect, but a lot faster.
"It would be nice to have a straightforward weekend after a couple of disappointing technical problems. Things didnât quite go my way in Spain or Monaco - through no fault of my own - so I just want to get my head down, work with my engineers and work on delivering a good result, with no mishaps.
"I think itâll actually be interesting to see what we can achieve without encountering a problem that sets us back."
Eric Boullier
Racing director, McLaren Mercedes
"In recent years, the Canadian Grand Prix has really developed into one of Formula 1âs showpiece events. The Circuit Gilles Villeneuve is one of the purest racetracks on the calendar, and one that invariably produces an unusual and unexpected result.
"At McLaren, of course, we fondly remember the 2011 race, when Jenson enjoyed one of his greatest, most memorable victories there. Despite our current lack of pace, Jenson continues to be an absolutely fantastic ambassador for the team. Not only is he a fantastic driver, but heâs also somebody with the feel and experience to steer the team and give it direction for development. His input has been invaluable, and he remains a tireless contributor.
"Kevin, equally, has been a fantastic asset so far this season. Heâll be keen for a problem-free weekend after a couple of niggling technical issues in the past two races. Thatâs a shame, because theyâve robbed him of a couple of potentially strong points finishes, but he'll surely have a weekend less beset with undeserved mishap soon. And when that happens, I think people will be impessed by his pace, in both qualifying and the race, because it's clear that heâs the complete package and that good results will inevitably therefore come in time.
"Overall, itâs still difficult to gauge exactly where we are: both Monaco and Canada are very particular types of circuit, and donât really offer a true reflection of our current state of development. It would be nice to get some more points on the board, but I donât think weâll get a clear idea of how much weâve progressed until we go back to Europe."

Dr. H.H. Hayman (1877-1965), came to Idaho from Iowa in 1897, joining his family on a homestead in west Canyon County. He was a 1902 graduate of the academy at The College of Idaho. While a student here he participated in intercollegiate athletics, including football. He went on to earn his bachelor's degree at the College of Wooster in Ohio in 1906. He earned a MA at Princeton, 1909, and graduated from the Princeton Theological seminary in 1910. He was professor here from 1905-1907 and 1909-1947. He was an ordained minister in the Presbyterian Church.
Dr. Hayman taught courses here in Greek, Oratory, Sociology, Ethics, Economics, Bible, Debate, and Physical Culture. In 1932, at the time he published War? An Explanation of the Conflict Between Japan and China, his title was Professor of Political Science and International Law. He was regarded as an intellectual and moral leader by his colleagues. He also coached a number of sports. Some of the older trees on campus were planted (and watered) by Dr. Hayman.
The first memorial to Dr. Hayman was Hayman Field, a football field and track, located where Symms Field and the softball diamond are now situated. Hayman Hall, built in 1965, designed by the John Graham architectural firm of Seattle, was dedicated in Dr. Hayman's honor in 1968.

Madonna is allowed to adopt a second child from Malawi, a court in the African country has decided.
In April a court told the singer she needed to live in Malawi for at least 18 months before she could adopt a four-year-old girl called Mercy.
Madonna appealed against that decision, and the court agreed with her.
The appeals court in Malawi said the previous decision hadn't taken her commitment to helping disadvantaged children into consideration.
In 2006 Madonna adopted a boy, called David, from Malawi.
Mercy has been living in an orphanage since her 18-year-old mum died shortly after giving birth.
Madonna, who's 50, also has two biological children, Lourdes, 12, and Rocco, aged eight.
