Flights to Qatar with Qatar Airways
Since it was founded in the mid-1800s, Qatar has successfully developed into a thriving country with a host of attractions catering for both leisure and business travellers. Travel to Qatar with Qatar Airways today you'll find a dynamic country full of energy and interest.
Qatar enjoys a unique Arabian lifestyle that is reflected through a range of local attractions spread across the capital city, Doha. The Museum of Islamic Art features an impeccable and ornate architectural design, and houses within its corners some of the most impressive collections relating to Islamic history and art across the world. Souq Waqif, meanwhile, presents an atmospheric shopping experience reminiscent of the older, perhaps more colourful and certainly more traditional markets. Find a range of hand-crafted gifts, scarves and spices within the cobbled streets of this souq.
However, visitors looking for a more modern shopping experience need not go far in Qatar. The country today is home to a wide range of glittering malls featuring fashion outlets and designer boutiques. Futuristic skyscrapers also line the country's skyline and house within their glass-clad walls multinational corporations and regional business power players.
Water sports are very popular in Qatar, as the country occupies a peninsula surrounded by sea and there are many different sporting opportunities on offer. Visitors tend to go in more for fashionable kite-surfing, but the affluent locals prefer the thrills and spills of jet-skiing at terrific speed along the beaches. You can also try safari tours in powerful vehicles, or simply spend a day walking by the capital's Corniche.
Home to nationalities from all around the world, the country boasts a multicultural gastronomic scene that will impress foodies from around the world. Asian cuisine is particularly plenty here, and a wide array of dining venues feature delectable international dishes.

Strengthening the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act in India to Foster Participation, Access and Accountability
The initiation and countrywide implementation of the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) represents a milestone in social policy and employment creation with its right based approach and focus on livelihood security. The flagship program has benefitted millions of marginalized rural households by providing them unskilled work and led to prevention of stress migration from rural areas in lean agricultural seasons. A UNDP/Carnegie Endowment for Peace study points out that from the scheme's first year of operation in 2006-2007 till 2010-2011, job creation accelerated from less than 1 billion workdays distributed amongst 20 million households to 2.5 billion workdays for 50 million households.
In the above context, the 2013 performance audit conducted by the Comptroller and Auditor General of India (CAG) should be a timely opportunity to analyze the immense management and convergence challenges that a program of MGNREGA's size poses. This is especially relevant in view of CAG's observation that undertaking of non permissible works, non completion of works and lack of creation of durable assets during the period 2007-2012 indicated that the poorest were not able to fully exercise their rights under the program.
One of the 'bottom up' features' of the program is its reliance on rural local self government structures i.e. Panchayati Raj Institutions (PRIs) to reinvigorate community driven participation and decision making in service delivery. The first key institutional challenge, therefore, is to make MGNREGA'S program implementation effective by enforcing PRI 'activity mapping' (unbundling subjects into smaller units of work and assigning these units to different levels of government) that was set in motion after the historic 73rd Constitutional Amendment, 1993. Herein, the Central Government and the States of the Union, have to jointly actualize the principle of subsidiarity- what can be best done at lower levels of government should not be centralized at higher levels. Empowering PRIs especially Gram Panchayats (last mile units in villages) with funds, functions and functionaries (3F's) is a critical incentive to build their institutional capacity for service delivery. This, in turn, would provide them the teeth to carry out their core responsibilities under MGNREGA such as planning of works, registration of beneficiaries, allotting employment, executing works, making timely payments, maintaining records of measurement and muster rolls.

Where are the RR laws?
Did the 38 people charged with railroad "trespass" climb the eight-foot fence, cut the barbed wire, bag the track security cameras, cold-cock the track security guards, and remove all trespassing signs?
Or did they walk right into the meat grinding factory through wide open doors? ["Wrong side: Track crossers' pleas denied," September 1]
What aren't the Feds and state clowns in charge of railroad safety not ticketed for having no deterrent requirement laws on the books? Like the fence shall be x feet tall. The security cameras will be spaced x feet apart. The railroad will have a track guard for every x mile/miles of track.
Whoops, I forgot! There are big bucks in high places, so there are no laws to regulate railroad doings.
If you check, trains don't blow whistles at thousands of "private" crossings in Virginia. The only difference between crossing at these spots and anywhere else is that in some places, there's a little something to walk on. How rough can those spots be? Well, as rough as the railroad wants, since the politicians are neatly tucked away with political contributions.

Featuring non-related pictures from an old summer vacation. Because (A) It's summer, and (B) I like tacky things.
Some quickies, because it's a vurry bizzy week . . .
Jolie asked:
How is that second book deadline coming along? Are you breathing? Sweating? Dancing? Eating everything in sight? Perhaps rolling bare-bummed in finished ms pages?
Snort snort snort.
[Stephanie wipes tear from eye.]
Choke snort choke.
It's, er, coming. In the sense that the actual deadline is rapidly approaching. (Four days. Accccck!) As I've mentioned here before — far too often — Second Novel and I are not exactly besties. She's pretty much kicking the tar out of me.
And taking enormous pleasure in it.
But . . . the last few weeks have okay! Okay-ish. The deadline is self-imposed, because I work much better under pressure. Productivity, creativity, and — most thankfully — my ability to focus ratchet up considerably. Because, as embarrassing as it is to admit, I am a hardcore procrastinator. I will wait until the LAST SECOND every time.
And I'm kinda in LAST SECOND territory now.
So it's a good thing! Sort of!
Buuuuuut yes. My daily habits have gone askew. I'm not dancing (I wish) or eating everything in sight (yet), but I'm drinking lattes at odd hours, staying up until six am, having panic attacks, emailing letters of desperation, canceling plans with friends, scribbling notes on my body in unwashable markers, and begging my husband to brainstorm with me about the same (stupid) thing again and again. And again.
I've also reached that stage where I edit my manuscript line-by-line while I sleep. (Do you do that? Please tell me you do. And then you wake up even more tired than when you went to bed?)
Oh! And there's a lot of uncontrollable sobbing.
In other words, I am SUPER FUN to be around right now!!!
(Thank you for thinking of me, Jolie. I've enjoyed reading about your progress this summer, too. Woo hoo! You're rocking it!)
Kiersten asked:
When are you coming back to San Diego? Because Dojo misses his Aunt Stephanie, and our band seriously needs to practice.
Dude. We DO need to practice.
And I'll come back to San Diego when it stops being so:
I'll come back when you can hook me up with something substantial.
Something like THIS:
Anonymous asked:
Do you type up your stories or hand write them? I prefer to hand write mine. It's almost like a good luck charm with me :)
Ooo, I wish I could write my first drafts by hand! Lucky you. I always thought it'd be cool to be one of those writers with a fountain pen and a pad of legal paper who just went for it. So romantic!
But, alas, I am . . . what's the word?
Oh, yeah. Anal. I'm totally anal.
Whenever I write by hand, inevitably I get stuck on the very first page, scribbling out large chunks and re-writing new — often worse — lines in illegible print above it and sideways in the margins. And then scratching out those lines, etcetera etcetera.
This is essentially the same thing I do on my computer, but at least when I work in Word (one of these days, I SO need to switch to Scrivener), you can't see how many tries it takes me to write one freaking sentence.
Which is a very. long. time.
(Which is why I should go now. Nasty deadline and all.)

In his famous work The Mysterious Stranger, American writer Mark Twain wrote that "joy and sanity cannot coexist". Clearly, not everyone would agree. However, in the world of football, where great victories are often accompanied by spontaneous outpourings of elation, those words carry more than a grain of truth.
Some football celebrations are uncontrollable; some are both mad and ridiculous. And others are moments of sheer comedy. Football celebrations can also, sometimes, seem tired and rehearsed. In Italy and England last year, however, the respective title winners marked their successes in ways that were anything but run-of-the-mill.
On 15 May 2011, during AC Milan's Italian title celebrations, Ghanaian midfielder Kevin-Prince Boateng appeared dressed as Michael Jackson and began dancing to the late singer's tunes, even imitating the so-called King of Pop's famous moonwalk.
Boateng had promised to impersonate Jackson, his favourite singer, if AC Milan won the title. His slick moves certainly impressed the watching fans and Italian TV viewers, who compared them favourably with those of the late entertainer. Boateng's team-mates also enjoyed the performance, with Massimo Ambrosini declaring: "He's not joking! We really deserve the title!"
While Boateng's routine clearly amused his fans and team-mates, Wayne Rooney's choice of celebration last year came as something of a surprise. Rooney marked Manchester United's league success by shaving his chest hair and creating the number 19, to represent the number of titles won by the club. He then sent a photo of his handiwork to his team-mates via micro-blogging website Twitter. "None of us thought Wazza would send that photo! He's madder than we thought," was the reaction of Michael Owen, Rooney's Manchester United team-mate.
Celebrating with the enemyUruguayan fans will never forget La Celeste's historic triumph at the 1950 FIFA World Cup Brazil™, when Obdulio Varela and Co beat the hosts 2-1 in the Final at the famous Maracana stadium. That memorable victory sparked surreal scenes, which involved Varela celebrating Uruguay's success with the Brazilian fans, as noted by famous Uruguayan writer Eduardo Galeano in his book Football in Sun and Shadow.
Varela's team-mate, Alcides Ghiggia, can still recall the scenes clearly: "After our midday meal, the day after a match, we all stayed at the hotel. There was a bistro on the street corner, and Valera decided to go and have a beer there. The Brazilians there recognised him and started chanting his name in their Brazilian accents."
It's a misunderstanding, the trophy didn't fall. It jumped from the bus.
Fifty years later, Lyon also celebrated their fifth French league title in unlikely surroundings far from home, in Paris. It was 15 April 2006, and the Lyonnais had been closely following the league match between Lille and Bordeaux, which finished in a 3-2 victory for Lille. It was the result Lyon had been hoping for, as it confirmed them as champions before they had even kicked a ball in the 35th round of the season.
After the final whistle, Lyon's players left the hotel and celebrated their title by performing a *Haka, *a traditional Maori dance ritual, with Malian midfielder Mahamadou Diarra at the front of the pack.
From creative to clumsyStaying in France, Lille won the league and cup double last year, which prompted a rather unique celebration from defender Adil Rami. Rami had already agreed to leave *Les Dogues *for Valencia, and had promised the fans that he would treat them to a special surprise as a parting gift.At the start of Lille's title celebrations, Rami, who had dyed his hair red for the occasion, donned the costume of the club's mascot, Doggy Dog. He then took to the centre of the pitch where he proceeded to dance, for some time, before saluting his fans and team-mates over the PA system.
Former Al Ahly and Egypt goalkeeper Essam El Hadary, meanwhile, made a habit of celebrating each title win by climbing on to the crossbar of his goal and eating a watermelon. The celebration is possibly linked to the name of El Hadary's home village, Kafer Al-Batikh, in the Damietta region of Egypt, which translates literally as 'watermelon village'. The area is not, in fact, known for its watermelons, but its name almost certainly provided El Hadary's inspiration.
What happened last year as Real Madrid paraded the Copa del Rey in front of their fans was both amusing and unfortunate in equal measure. Sergio Ramos was the unwitting protagonist, after he dropped the trophy from the team bus and then watched as it was crushed under the wheels. Ramos was able to see the funny side of his blunder, and later took to his Twitter account to explain his version of events: "It's a misunderstanding, the trophy didn't fall. It jumped from the bus when we got to Cibeles [a square in Madrid] and it saw so many Real Madrid fans!"
Ajax's Dutch goalkeeper, Maarten Stekelenburg, followed in Ramos's unfortunate footsteps just a few days later. Like the Spanish international defender, 29-year-old Stekelenburg dropped the Dutch championship shield from Ajax's team bus as it drove around town to celebrate what was the club's first title win in six years.
Painful celebrationsBorussia Dortmund's club motto is "True Love". But, after the way their title celebrations unfolded this year, they may well be tempted to change it to "Love Hurts". During Dortmund's celebrations after retaining the Bundesliga title, their club president tore a muscle as he tried to escape from Felipe Santana. The defender had been trying to spray his president with beer, but ended up injuring him inadvertently instead.
Dortmund's president was not the only one who left that party with a wince. Indeed, just days after suffering a nasal fracture in training, winger Kevin Grosskreutz took another blow to the nose during the title celebrations. Fortunately, though, he was able to laugh it off: "My nose is completely destroyed but I don't care. I can't feel the pain anymore."
Grosskreutz also celebrated in memorable fashion after helping his side win the league last year. The German starlet had not been to the barbers since October 2011, having promised his team-mates that he would keep growing his hair until Dortmund had won the title. Once the league was safe, Grosskreutz's team-mates, Santana and Dede, got out the clippers and duly shaved off his overgrown locks.

Oroville >> A 35-year-old Chico man was convicted Friday for his role in an attempt to steal marijuana last October.
The Butte County Superior Court jury convicted Joseph Robert Sharpe on a felony count of second-degree robbery for the Oct. 18 incident at a Yankee Hill Road grow site, according to supervising deputy district attorney Marc Noel.
Noel said the jury foreperson said outside of court that jurors reviewed the required elements for robbery and concluded each element was met for Sharpe.
"They did exactly what they should"ve," he said.
Sharpe and three other men faced identical charges. Miguel Eric Hernandez, 23, and Miles Orlando Murphy, 27, pleaded no contest just before trial and face sentencing May 8. Daniel Anthony Moreno, 27, was held for trial following an April 3 preliminary hearing.
During Tuesday"s closing arguments, Noel said Sharpe was a principal participant in the robbery and was the connection between the other defendants, who came from areas like Tracy and Livermore. Sharpe guided the group from Chico to the grow site, which wasn"t visible from the road. The defendant also provided the boltcutters to get through fences to the garden.
Defense attorney Eric Ortner had argued there were questions if Sharpe was present at the garden. He also asked if there was force or fear in the incident, a required element of robbery.
The defendants cut marijuana on the site, but their work was interrupted when the victim emerged from a trailer and told them to leave. The men dropped what they were doing and left, possibly brushing past the man.
Noel said the defendants shoved the victim when leaving. At least one co-defendant had a firearm during the incident.
Sharpe faces six years in prison when he is sentenced June 12.
Tax fraud case pending
After the local case is concluded, Noel said Sharpe faces federal charges in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of California.
On Feb. 20, a federal grand jury indicted Sharpe and six co-defendants for conspiring to file false income tax returns from March 2011 through August 2012. Four of the defendants, including Sharpe, had been in custody at various times in the California Correction Center in Susanville.
According to the indictment, the defendants allegedly gathered names and identification information and used it to file false income tax returns with the Internal Revenue Service.
About 247 false tax returns were filed and the IRS erroneously issued 138 refunds totalling $219,984.
Sharpe remains in custody.

Don't care for the bio for Faker at all! Liked the Idea that he was purely a creation of Skeletor much more.
I'm sure the writers could write something way better than me on how Faker became Faker but that's how I see the "evil robot" working from the MYP 'toon.
As Val, I hate how they are using "Masters of the Universe" as a title for the good guys.
They aren't a superhero group!
This usage of the title really detract from the whole MOTU concept.
It was really big, but eveytime they use the name for the good guys only, it become a tad smaller... sigh...
To be honest, I'm more concerned about the birdmen being winged monkeys now.
"Why's Dragstor riding on Night Stalker?" "Cause he can."
I wonder what happens when Faker's sword combines with He-Man's sword. Or should that be Skeletor's sword? I can see Skeletor crafting a duplicate of his own sword to merge with He-Man's. But would something bad happen if Faker's sword merges with one of the real swords?

Sorry, couldn't resist.
Also, I understand the frustration with the limiting uses of Masters Of The Universe. I seem to recall though that in early written works, maybe even the Filmation bible, that MOTU was the term reserved for the bad guys...
Tyler J Maciolek
Wow. It appears I'm in a vast minority here about the MOTU being the good guys. I thought that was a stroke of GENIUS!
Its what the line was called, its what the SHOW was called, but nobody ever mentioned the words... ever.
Now all the heroic warriors arent' just wandering freaks who 'happened' to be around. they were a fighting force/team of the best in eternia.
Also as for the Bad guys being "masters"?!?! Skeletor is the only one who could qualify. the rest were morons!
I admit its a goofy team name, but suddenly "He-man AND the Masters of the Universe" MEANS something.
I think both the characters look great, the only thing I have mixed feelings on is the "winged monkey" aspect. Personally I just don't really see it. Nothing about his appearance has EVER screamed "monkey" at me.
"She-Ra, Princess of Power was no more. That had been the price of freedom."
I thought the 2002 MYP series referred to the heroes as the "Masters"? I can almost hear Duncan telling Teela to gather the other Masters for a meeting or plan or something?!

I don't know, the flying monkeys in Wizard of OZ kicked butt. They actually freaked a lot of kids out back in the day. I always assumed this is where the the idea for Stratos came from (his color scheme is even similar to the WOZ flying monkeys). The more I think about it, you could even speculate that the Emerald Staff is also a nod to WOZ because the Wizard lived in the Emerald City. Just sayin'.
I look at it as, and prefer it to be, all these powerful warriors (good and bad) battling one another for control of the planet are the masters of the universe. I don't think they should label themselves, and the phrase should never be used by the characters themselves. Masters of the Universe shouldn't be a group name but rather a title to represent the epic struggle between these warriors.
Or something like that.
Yeah, the whole use of the Masters term is just a bit goofy to me, and as has been said before, detracts from the concept that whomsoever gains control of Grayskull, controls the Universe. Castle Grayskull is the Ultimate McGuffin!
The Masters is a concept, not the Eternian Justice League!
Oh well, other than that, Stratos' Bio is better than Faker's. Junk Yard. Sheesh...:hmroll:

Like Emiliano said, MOTU isn't a gang of super heroes.
MOTU is a term that refers to all of the people on Eternia who are the masters of their abilities, and fight to be masters of the universe.
It's about that world; that canon. Not a group of do-gooders.
For example, He-Man is the strongest man in the universe because of his power, not because his chose that label.
Jitsu was the evil master of martial arts, because he was the best at that.
Clamp Champ was the heroic masters of capture, because he was the best at that.
And so forth.
If the good guys truly were the MOTU and the evil guys were not, then by definition of the name alone the evil warriors would always be 2nd place and never be a real threat.
Either that, or our heroes are some ego driven maniacs, and true heroes wouldn't be like that going around calling themselves the MOTU or the Masters.
IMO, it's better than the heroes being a group of self-centered folks who think they are the Masters and everyone else is chicken-feed.
This is why trying to complicate the title of the brand is kinda useless.
It's the best of the universe fighting for control of the ultimate power in the universe.
Why make it anything else?

Suggestion: set a threshold (in % of potential buyers) for falcon wings alternative
Suggestion: set a threshold (in % of potential buyers) for falcon wings alternative
I expect the falcon wings are Tesla's first serious attempt to demonstrate that what you don't think you want is in actual fact what you've always wanted, you just didn't know it at the time.
I hope it's a success.
The falcon wing doors are a must for Tesla because they want to avoid the minivan image, so no sliding door. I have a Ford Flex which I really like, but it is impossible to use the third row seats without first folding at least a second row seat. (Imagine a car seat that has to be removed first.) Also, the third row seats are quite high, and there is not sufficient head or leg room for an average sized adult. The Model X on the other hand, has more room for both passengers and cargo, and the third row is easily accessible without moving the seat.
As far as percentages of people who would prefer non falcon wing doors, it is pure speculation. I doubt that it is even as high as 30% because in general it is more often those who are strongly opposed to things that voice their opinion. The car is going to attract attention without opening the rear doors, just as the Model S does.
drz, people are already used to reduced miles per gallon in ICE SUVs and vans, so a 10% drop in range on the X is not a big deal. Physics.
Elon says Gen III will get 200 miles per charge, so the pattern is already being set for reduced range on future releases. I'm thrilled Gen III will have reduced range, that's the only way me and millions of others will be able to afford one.
What will happen in time is Tesla will continue amping up (pun intended) their packs, higher kw options will allow X owners to go 300+ miles if they want to pay for it. Battery price/tech is not there yet though.
Have you all missed the Teslive bomb Elon dropped? They already have a 500 mile pack but haven't released it because the cost is so high. ;-)
There will be door options on the X like there were color options on the Model T. You can have any door you like as long as it's a falcon wing door!
The 500 mile pack has been know about since the S launched, not a bomb or even news.
Hmmm, I must have missed that news. Thanks for clarifying Vawlkus!
I don't get it. The Falcon Wing doors were a feature of Model X prototype from the get go. One of major reasons that my order #677 was placed, and without it this order would be cancelled.
IMHO ... I bet having a sliding door option will be as popular as a 40 kW battery ;-)
If Tesla were to create a survey on the subject, who exactly would you want them to send it to?
I would imagine that MOST current owners of Model S would vote Falcon. Model X reservation holders would vote Falcon...
Would they just have a public survey? Cause if you want a minivan, buy a minivan?
General Public are still not the target audience for the X anyway.
I don't know, I just don't see more than <1% of people that are interested in the X, wanting sliding doors. May just be me though.
very well put ... TOTALLY agree !!
"The Model M" Tesla Minivan? Could happen.
How do you put a kayak on top of an SUV that has falcon wing doors?
"Sports" Utility Vehicle.
I love the falcon wings but it's also the one thing that stop me from ordering a model X. It fits all my needs with 4x4 and 7 seats, looks awesome but as others have mentioned – where do I put my skis etc for the weekend trip up in the mountains? Whit another door type it would be the perfect car for me, and it could have fill all my needs and been my only car. The problem is that I would need another SUV for the trips where I really need the SUV :(
Driver and passenger doors are standard.
Driver exits, removes kayak/skis/whatever. Opens falcon wing doors for access to/from 2nd/3rd row seats.
No offense Brian, but you've obviously never been a skier. The X is just not going to cut it for serious outdoor activities without some kind of roof mount storage/rack system.
You misunderstood. Here are all the implied steps.
Allow backseat passengers (if any) to enter by falcon wing doors.
Install roof rack.
Place skis on rack.
Enter by (standard) driver's door.
Drive to ski hill.
Exit driver's door.
Remove skis (and rack, if necessary).
Open falcon wing doors for rear passengers (if any).
TM has indicated they have a satisfactory and surprising solution, in any case. Very curious to see what it is.
No, actually I didn't misunderstand. I'm telling you that is not practical. It may sound like a reasonable option for you, but I would not deal with it.
Just so we're clear though, I have an X reservation and am a skier. However, I do not plan on taking it skiing with any more than maybe 2 others. If the skiis or other gear won't fit inside the X will stay at home. Unless there is a more practical solution that I am not seeing.
Another point regarding safety, how are the backseat passengers supposed to exit in an emergency if they are locked in due to there being a roof rack that doesn't allow them to open the doors?
Agreed with @goneskiian...three kids here and we spend a lot of time at the mountains. Current vehicle is a Toyota Sequoia with a Thule roof box. The amount of gear required to bring 5 people to the mountains for a day of skiing virtually mandates alternative storage (especially when all that gear is wet and smelly at the end of the day). I've used a lot of different styles of racks over the years and none of then are easy to put on/take off. Between our gear and the kids gear it can take 20+ minutes just to unload and gear up...followed by the mandatory bathroom break for the kids even though they already went...the joys of skiing. The LAST thing I need to do is take an extra 10 minutes in the freezing cold trying to get the racks on and off!
I'm seriously considering an X as my SUV (drove a buddy's MS two weeks ago and did an "official" test drive of a S last week) but simply don't see a realistic way to replace the Sequoia...unfortunately. I'm hoping Elon has come up with some innovative storage/rack system but I'm not holding my breath. The closest thing I can imagine is a tow hitch option but that comes with its own challenges (there is a reason that 98% of the racks in a ski parking lot are roof...not tow hitch).
So I guess towing something is totally off the table?
I have waited for this Model X since the Roadsters launch. I am a Honda Pilot owner and want the larger higher up off the ground vehicle. I do put a roof rack on the Pilot when using the kayak. It will not fit inside.
The fact that you can not put a rack on the Model X limits it as a SUV. The falcon doors are great looking and really do provide the room to get into the third row seats. There needs to be some kind of a trade off. Maybe an option to mount a roof rack and be able to disable the falcon doors. Maybe an option for the falcon doors for a standard door.
I personally do not need a third row but if there has to be one, make it a folding down one like the Honda Pilot has. The little ones can use the hatchback door to enter and exit. In the seven years I've had the Pilot, I have only used the third row two times. I have them folded down all the time, and use the room for other items.
I am a Tesla stock holder and believe in all the concepts for electric vehicles. I have just had solar panels placed on my house roof. My next plan is to reserve an X. Tesla, please address this problem.
Unless Model X is just made for driving around, looking good and impress neighbors, the possibility for roof rack/roof box is a must. Wintertime I have 5 paris of skiis on the roof and summertime I often bring bikes. I'm sorry TM - you come up with a solution for this!
Might it be that skis could be stashed between the battery pack and the interior of the vehicle? I guess this resolves the ski issue, but is the reality that people use the term 'skis' when in fact they mean skis, roofbox, bikes, etc? Can't see the designers getting around this with falcon wing doors.
I was thinking perhaps skis could be slid under the seats. I forget how wide skis are now days though so that probably won't work either.
Yes, I would like to be able to put a roof box or bikes on the roof too. Although, I would be fine using a hitch mount bike rack. I know they make hitch mount ski racks as well.
TM claims to have a clever ski solution. Don't know if it extends to anything else.
It's not a question of 'if they solve this problem', it's a question of 'which solution will they pick?'. Here are three possibilities, I have no doubt that Tesla has a few more they've considered:
1) With a rack on the roof, the falcon wing doors don't articulate in the middle, but rather raise straight out to the side (more like a gull wing door). That solution will not impact anything on the top of the X.
2) Half-rack solution ... the crossbars are on either side of the falcon wing doors. With rack in place (and things one one side), only the unobstructed door can open.
3) Like a few station wagons of old, the falcon wing doors are designed to open either from the top or (more traditionally) hinge from the side, depending on which handle you use to open.
bonnie1194: I believe you have hit the TM solution. It is my opinion that suggestion #3 is what we will see. Hinge will open
certain ways either controlled by a setting on the 'control panel' or by sensors that detect the presence of an installed (and easily removed) roof rack.
I also believe this may be part of an option package: Call it
the 'rack option' that will carry a premium on it but be part of the 'sig' production vehicles to have those first adopters out on the road to attract new potential owners with a vehicle with all the 'bells and whistles'.
"30% (if not 50%)" of the complainers, not of all enthusiast and/or potential buyers. The negators tend to be more noisy (see any customer rating on any web site).
I also believe that if "having ONLY the falcon doors will limit the total addressable market", the remaining limited market will be an order of magnitude larger than the MX production rate.
And +1 cloroxbb
I think you're absolutely right on the last part, i.e. market is big enough compared to production line anyway.
To the first part, however, I strongly disagree, and I think this is exactly dz4's point here; There are *MANY* of us who would love to sign up for the MX asap, *BUT* there are a couple of things that are holding us back at the moment.
Speaking for myself, the roof rack/box is very important, and I need to be able to carry things longer than the car as well. (There are also quite a few things I'd not carry inside a brand new car of this price/class even though skis could be put in bags etc.) Also, I have to admit that I'm rather sceptical to the doors due to the fact that I'm living in a climate where ice and snow on the roof of my car is very common, and I would guess I'd have to clean the snow off very well to avoid it falling down into the car when the doors open. Last, but not least, many parking houses are actually so low I believe it would be a problem. When opening the trunk of a "normal" car (i.e. manual hatch), it's possible to be careful and open just a little, but with these electric falcon wings, I'm not sure how they would handle (stop automatically before hitting anything or something like that).
My 2nd problem is a hook for pulling a trailer. This is not an everyday need, but nevertheless, I actually need to be able to drive with a trailer once in a fortnight. SUVs and large station wagons are commonly chosen by people driving with trailers (even camping trailers), and the weight/power of the MX should make it well suited for pulling a trailer. (If anyone has seen any discussion about this, I'm eager to be pointed to any info!)
The 3rd draw-back of the MX is that the trunk has a treshold where the hatch closes. Most SUVs and station wagons of today offer a completely flat loading/de-loading floor wiht no threshold. I realise this is probably harder on the MX since they want the floor as low as possible in order to ensure volume is kept high. Also, I admit it's not a show-stopper, just a bit less ultimate...
but with these electric falcon wings, I'm not sure how they would handle (stop automatically before hitting anything or something like that).
Tesla have said there will be sensors to keep the falcon wings from crashing into obstacles as they open.
"When opening the trunk of a "normal" car (i.e. manual hatch), it's possible to be careful and open just a little, but with these electric falcon wings, I'm not sure how they would handle (stop automatically before hitting anything or something like that)."
At the shareholders meeting Q & A, Elon responded to that concern by stating there will be proximity sensors around the falcon doors that will stop the door with low clearance garages, and also prevent any 'pinching fingers' when closing.
He also mentioned water channels that would address the rain & snow concerns.
I don't see many of the positorians ranting in multiple paragraphs about how much they like the features etc of a non-released product. So the 1st part of my post above about the negatorians being more noisy holds true. And you prove it.
Not every product is for everybody. So MX may not be for you. Don't buy it.
Positorian rant:
I love the falcon wings on the Model X, they're fresh, they're exciting, they're cool looking, and best of all they're there because they're practical and functional. It's a small break with car convention, but I like that! I wish they'd made more bold steps with the MX rather than that they do less of it as some would have.
Don't even get me started on the step-in/stand-upright-in feature for the third row. No I mean it, don't start me!
The (rumoured) trailer hitch is a must for me, I wouldn't buy another car without one. A very shrewd move for Tesla to (possibly) put a hitch on an EV, love it!
And the AWD, pure genius. While it's true you may or may not actually need it due to superior anti-spin capabilities on electric drive trains, nevertheless, for the "always prepared" boy scout types among us, this is a pure deal sealer from the ground up.
Not to mention the (presumed) genial solution to the roof rack problem! A year ago I would never have thought anyone could do falcon wings and a roof rack but now, I'm just awestruck by the (alledged) brilliance of Tesla's (future) roof rack design! And who wouldn't be! I can just (barely) imagine how great it's going to be, and it's not even here yet!
And have you seen the storage space in that thing? Wow, just wow! And there's even room for a third wow! in the frunk! Amazing doesn't even begin to describe it.
Would you believe even that the car may or may not exceed the Model S itself in unofficial, non-sanctioned 5.x crash test ratings? How do they (perhaps) pull that off, time and time again?
And the looks of the thing, I mean that car is just going to be pretty. Just (imagine you) look at it! The lines, the curves, the sun glinting off the paint … and look ma no (or possibly two) side mirrors! I can't believe they could (or failed to) pull that one off!
If there is one criticism I have of this (future) car it's that they're making everyone else look bad. That's not quite cricket now is it, but let's face it, who can stay slightly mischievously annoyed at Tesla for very long! Love it! <3
Yes, car selection is a very personal thing and the MX will satisfy many. Personally, the Falcon doors are a deal breaker for me, as I said in another thread. For a few decades now, all of my cars, including coupes like the BMW M3 and my trusty Subaru wagons, have been reliable haulers of everything under the sun: kayaks, canoes, road bikes, mountain bikes, campfire wood, gas cans, skis, lumber, furniture, boxes, pipe, survey tripods, etc.
Are the Falcon doors innovative and eye catching? Sure. But someone was over-thinking it when they proposed fitting them to a sport utility vehicle. My definition of sport and utility includes carrying loads of gear up top.
Way to go, bent!
p.s. however, the next poster rushed in to neutralize your rant and once more prove my postulate. Geezzz... on how many threads you need to say that the product is not for you!
I think many of you are jumping the gun on considering the Model X a no go because of the lack of top storage.
I think its a little early to judge a product that isn't even a finished design yet. I would wait for the actual "finished product" reveal of the Model X first.

It is interesting to me how I view things differently since I have been smitten by the genealogy obsession. What used to be routine and in some ways mundane has become a legacy for future generations. As I was filling out the landing card on my way to Scotland
and again as I was filling out the Canada Customs card en route to Toronto
I was aware that I was leaving my paper trail for future generations to discover. By filling out required government documents, I am helping my descendants trace my story 100 years from now. While they may not know the purpose of my visit, they will be aware that I went home for a period of time. Will they be thrilled to find the document? To see my own handwriting? Will they wonder what the purpose was? Will they check the documents against others to see if perhaps I had gone home for a wedding or funeral? Certainly, the documents will add pieces to their puzzle, but will they also add more unanswered questions? Will the documents pique curiosity? One can only hope.

Leaving My Paper Trail For My Descendants
2 comments:
I often also think about things like this. Maybe we should leave a memoir behind so that our thoughs, words, and ideas may resonate through time. I also think about that too. I also ensured that I filled the census, maybe one of my defendants will have fun searching for me.ReplyDelete
Absolutely, Christine - I look at all forms with a smile - Yes! someone will be able to find me - unless the government decides it's too much bother to archive and simply destroys whole rooms full of 'unimportant forms' like these. I agree with Moises above, we need also to leave a memoir of whatever sorts we manage to write... At 69, I'd better get started soon!ReplyDelete

Veterans in Southern Colorado received some good news last week.
A new Veterans Affairs medical clinic in Lamar is slated to open this fall, after receiving final contract approval, U.S. Rep. Cory Gardner, R-Colo., recently announced.
"Many veterans have reached out to me, expressing their concerns about the current state of the clinic in Lamar, and how important it is that they have access to quality healthcare," Gardner said in a press release. "The stories that veterans have shared with me about the positive impacts that this new clinic would have in southern Colorado were crucial in my meetings with VA officials on the Lamar clinic.
"A big thank you goes out to both Deputy VA Secretary Sloan Gibson and Lynette Roff, Director of the VA's Eastern Colorado Health Care System, for all the work they've done to make this possible. I am encouraged by this step, and look forward to continuing the conversations we've been having to ensure that all veterans in Colorado have access to the healthcare options that best suit their needs."
The new medical clinic is expected to be in operation by mid-October.
U.S. Senator Mark Udall, D-Colo, heralded the Veterans Affairs' investment in Lamar following the agency's final contract approval.
"As a member of the U.S. Senate Armed Services Committee, I have fought to ensure we give our veterans access to the best possible health care services regardless of where they live. That's why I am glad the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs has cleared the way for a new, permanent clinic to open this fall in Lamar, with more services geared toward our veterans' care," he said. "The VA has some work to do to restore the trust of Colorado veterans, but this clinic is a step in the right direction and I'll continue to press the VA to ensure it delivers for Colorado's veterans."
The former Movie Gallery on South Main Street will be the site of the new clinic.
"This news is fantastic," said Jeremy Miller, the Veterans Service Officer for Prowers County. "The clinic is going to be in a great location and provide a number of services."
Area veterans had been without a permanent facility since the last clinic ceased operation at Prowers Medical Center almost one year ago.
Since then veterans have been receiving their care at a temporary VA medical mobile trailer parked at the Lamar Sportsman RV Park located west of Lamar at the former KOA Campgrounds.
The 1,500-square-foot facility will replace the existing mobile clinic that is only capable of providing primary care.
In addition to primary care, the new, permanent clinic also will offer telehealth specialty services including mental health and psychiatry, chronic care management, endocrinology, and diabetes management, as well as on-site diagnostic services such as lab, pulmonary function testing and EKGs.
"This is a great enhancement of service for our veterans in the Lamar area," said Lynette Roff. "Overall, the level of care Lamar area veterans receive will be greatly expanded."

As far as I understand, RSA keys are usually generated based on a (strong) random generator.
Instead, I want to create them based on a password.
Or rather on its hash, for example sha512(sha512(password+salt)+password+pepper)
This needs to be done client side, in JavaScript.
Would anyone know how to do this? Is there an easy JavaScript library that creates RSA key pairs deterministically, based on a given input?
(Actually, I'm mentioning RSA but any secure asymmetrical encryption would suffice, I just need public-private encryption)
Addition: I need this because I'm building some secure communication solution, that doesn't need to rely on the connection or even the server to be secure.
I'm encrypting all content with AES using random keys, and the keys are RSA-encrypted. The idea is Alice can RSA-encrypt her content (or actually, the AES-key for her content) with Bob's public key (therefore Bob's public key must be stored online).
Later, when Bob enters his password again, his browser can deterministically calculate his RSA private & public key on the spot, download the content from Alice, and decrypt it locally using his private key.
Looks like Cryptico can help you, when you feed your password as a seed for RNG.

Barry University Professor Brian S. Canfield, EdD, Chair of the Counseling Department, recently presented an international workshop on family counseling at the invitation of the University Putra Malaysia (UPM.) The 3-day training event - "Couples and Family Therapy: Strategies and Techniques for Effective Change" - took place at the Ministry of Education in Putrajaya, Malaysia and was attended by more than 100 mental health professionals and university professors from throughout Malaysia and several other countries.
Canfield's workshop addressed ethical considerations and therapeutic procedures for ameliorating "high-risk" client behaviors within the context of the family – including suicidal ideation and intimate partner violence. The workshop provided a culturally sensitive approach for therapeutic intervention when working with clients within a Muslim community subject to Sharia law. Canfield also presented cybernetic and systemically based approaches to working with marital, couple, and family issues.
Canfield is a Clinical Fellow and Approved Supervisor of the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy, a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, and a licensed Mental Health Counselor in Louisiana, and a licensed Psychologist in the State of Arkansas. His research interests include professional practice issues, applied cybernetics, and intercultural counseling.

A privately financed network of bike-sharing stations throughout the city will allow short-term rental of bicycles traveling in between solar-powered and automated stations.
The new Bikeshare program, expected to be rolled out this summer, will be conducted in phases, with the goal of ultimately providing 180 stations and 1,800 bikes citywide.
In Ocean Beach, five Bikeshare stations are proposed: 5059 Newport Ave., Cable Street at the bus stop, Sunset Cliffs Boulevard and Newport Avenue, Cable Street and Santa Monica Avenue and at Dog Beach on Spray Street between Brighton Street and Long Branch Avenue.
Liberty Station locations include Historic Decatur Road (in front of the barracks), Cushing and Roosevelt roads, Farragut and Cushing roads, Chauncey Road, Truxtun and Womble roads, Truxtun Road and Roosevelt Boulevard and at the Point Loma Nazarene University bus drop-off.
Ocean Beach resident Nicole Burgess, secretary of the Peninsula Community Planning Group, a bike enthusiast and active transportation advocate, said Liberty Station is entirely appropriate for Bikeshare, but she said she feels omitting them elsewhere in Point Loma might be a mistake.
"The locations in Liberty Station make sense, but there are none in the village of Point Loma or Shelter Island," Burgess said.
If it were up to her, Burgess said she would suggest a Bikeshare station might fit well at the Point Loma/Hervey Branch Library at 3701 Voltaire St.
"If you're trying to figure out how to make this happen, you need to find ways to make the community more bikable and walkable," Burgess said, noting there's also a bike path near Famosa Slough. "There's huge potential in Point Loma Village."
Burgess said she liked three of the five proposed Bikeshare locations in Ocean Beach, but she characterized the one proposed on Sunset Cliffs Boulevard as "a huge danger."
"Why are we putting bike stations on Sunset Cliffs Boulevard when we have Bacon Street as a bike boulevard?" Burgess asked. "They should put their bikeshares on those."
Despite issues involved with vetting the various proposed Bikeshare locations, Burgess noted it's a move in the right direction in promoting alternative transportation.
"Bikeshare is a huge steppingstone," she said. "It's a great piece of the whole puzzle."
Burgess said two other positive things about the new Bikeshare program are that you don't have to own your own bicycle to use it, and that it's membership-driven.
Burgess warned about proposed Bikeshare locations being placed too far afield, noting the objective should be to lay down an infrastructure network in the city's core that makes sense and that people will use.
"If you have 180 downtown branches, then the Peninsula should be in your circle, but not up here in La Jolla," she said.
Burgess said she felt summer rollout of the Bikeshare program might be ambitious, given all the various proposed stations that need to be vetted within their neighborhoods.
Fall, after the busy summer tourist season, also might be a less troublesome time to implement the new program, she said.

The world of Nor Galad is ancient and mysterious. It has it's times, it's phases, it's ancient ruins and it's modern cities. But how did it get there? Who made it?
The Material Plane: Nor GaladEdit
Nor Galad is an old world, perhaps 4 billion years old. It exists by itself, solitary except for the surrounding planets, and the Belt Of Stone, not far from Nor Galad. Nor Galad, unlike other dungeons and dragons games, is not centered on itself as the middle world, with a heaven above and a chaotic broil of elements below, but centers more on the system as a whole.
In NR, the entrance to the Astral sea is a thread of light, surrounding the world, that can be seen at dawn and sunset.This border called the "Gray Strip" is right outside of the world's atmosphere, and leads to a rift in space: the "astral sea". The astral sea, has five main Continents: The grove of elders(the center): the starting point The silver city(north of the Grove of Elders):the first stop, the Chaos Rip:the never point, The crystal-land:way point, and the House of the Gods, Final Destination. In the Astral Sea, scattered around the world are islands that hold Primal Spirits, until the gods free to do what they want with there own abode. At either the Silver Lands or the City of God's, there are many different people bustling around the city.
Nine HellsEdit
The Nine Hells in Nor Galad is found by following the River Styx from the Astral sea. (more to come)
Elemental ChaosEdit
The divine spark:
Billions of years ago, the world was spontaneously created with the Divine Spark. As the goddess Taerora floated through what we call Space, she saw clay, floating in space with no home. This, brings a smile to her face, as she knows she can help these lonely pieces. Her radiant smile created the sun, lighting up the surface of this lonely clay. And as light shown upon these pieces of clay, Taerora saw what they were: Ugly shaped molds, of creatures with Horns: and she frowned upon them, creating demons, and they were sent to a strange place. And then she cried, for she knew that she could have done good by the clay, and shaped them to her will. And as she cried, she wailed, and groaned, thrashing about for many years.Thus the Divine Spark was created, by the sadness of the God Taerora. And from this, Taerora saw happiness. From her tears, floating ribbons of water floated about the planet, and the goddess (name) was born:The blood of the planet. And from her groaning, the 4 winds, (-,-,-,-) and the goddess of wind: The breath of her planet. (--), from her wailing, she pierced the sun, causing parts to fall towards the planet earth; fire: the power of the planet: From her thrashing, her hair fell from her head: Trees: the Soul of the planet: And as her thrashing continued, it created more turmoil, taking the sadness in her heart and manifestation it as soil: The Solidity of the planet. And from these, slowly descending towards the planet, what she saw was good, and she laughed, giving the planet life. But her creation lacked something then. The planet was alive, but there was no joy in the planet. No hope, no ambition. Power, to keep going for eternity, but the will was not there. Feeling sad, that her almost complete creation (as the materials were still floating down) she thought back to the goat men, and how long they may have been there as she had been crying. So the goddess, determined, appeared in that place, and saw what had become of them. What she saw saddened and disgusted her. The goat men were nothing but fiends, and were always fiends. She turned to leave, but paused, noticing something. The other goat-men, were large and strong, evil creatures. But she noticed one, a very small creature, who looked very different than the others. And she took these creatures to the planet and placed them there. however, there was one among them, smaller than the rest by the Name Of Impron. Impron was a small and cunning fellow, smarter and faster than the rest, stealing the light of the sun and unleashing on the un-created planet. The planet then suffered overwhelming heat: volcanoes and lightning crackled, and the Materials, were rejected. Impron reveled in the heat, his skin turning crimson, his teeth sharpening, and he felt himself growing. He challenged the rule of Taerora, but was banished back to that place, and when he left, he took his creations with him, creating the Nine Hells from that place, and establishing himself as the ruler. And from these creations and his will were born the imps, smaller than the rest, but 10x as cunning: and he valued these creations. </p>
Taerora, was ashamed of her mistake, but she made this Declaration of all time:The land settled here is yours, and the men and women of these lands yours to rule justly. Do with the lands as you please, but treat the earth with kindness. Do not forget me, for I will vanish, if the ones who created me would not believe.With this declaration, you are the powerful; You are the Cydi os Cestaloria: Si Tyrael: And from the spark of Willpower from the Chosen, the wild animals were created, and all was good. From the mountains, Came Slegor, the God of The earth: and from Slegor came the dwarves. From the Wind-Gwendalin came the halflings, and from the the Water came(-) the creatures of the sea, and from the Plants (god) came the Jungle, and the Pure, and from the Sky dragon, the Dragonborn: from the essence Impron merged with the Stone game the gnomes, and from clay of the world came the changeling-complete list coming soon: there is alot of things that came from other things.

'Fat Girl Dancing' Videos Aim to Dispel Women's Body Shame
Viral dance videos show girls can dance no matter their size, says creator.
Feb. 7, 2014 -- A North Carolina radio producer's dance moves are shaking up the Internet and inspiring other women to cast off their own body shame.
Whitney Thore's "Fat Girl Dancing" videos on YouTube have gone viral since the 29-year-old first began posting them as part of her "No Body Shame Campaign" -- which she hopes will embolden other women to shed their own body image issues.
"I've struggled with body image and eating disorders my entire life, even though I used to be 120 pounds," said Thore. "I wanted to break down the stereotypes that fat people aren't talented and fat people aren't active and fat people can't do anything and aren't sexy."
Thore, an on-air producer for 107.5 KZL in Greensboro, N.C., started dancing when she was 4 and even began teaching at Greensboro Dance Theatre by the tender age of 16.
But when she suddenly gained 200 pounds in two years during college as a result of her polycystic ovarian syndrome, Thore dropped out of dance class and moved to Korea to teach English.
"My life literally changed overnight, I saw the way people treated me differently," Thore said. "For so long I abandoned it because I thought I didn't deserve to dance."
But even away from home, Thore couldn't escape issues surrounding body image, and found herself struggling in a different culture that was as equally image-centered.
"I got spit on, assaulted, called a pig," she remembers. "It was difficult, but I also had some of the best experiences of my life there and loved my job."
It took a while, but upon her return to the U.S. four years later, Thore slowly began dancing again socially.
"I knew I had to learn to be happy regardless of what I look like," she said. "Since then, I've been on this whirlwind love affair with me. I view the whole world differently."
She's now aiming to share that love, by spreading her message of acceptance to others by starting the No Body Shame Campaign. The Fat Girl Dancing videos are a big part of that, and the feedback has been overwhelming, she says.
"I've received thousands of messages all over the world," Thor said, slightly breathless. "Every minute more come in. I've gotten messages from young women, old women, me, disabled people, lots of people dealing with body issues, saying 'You changed my life'."

Spain's most essential museums
Prado Museum
Bilbao Guggenheim Museum
Picasso Museum in Barcelona
Madrid's golden trio
When it comes to art, Spain is an absolute must. Its museums are home to some of the greatest collections in the world, and are chance to enjoy some of the great geniuses and masterpieces of universal painting. Starting with the Prado and moving on to the Guggenheim Bilbao, here we present the museums you can't afford to miss if you're coming to Spain.
In the Spanish capital, the Prado Museum, the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum and the Reina Sofía National Museum offer an opportunity to explore the history of universal painting through the works of the great masters. Located very close to one another in the very heart of the city, these three galleries comprise a truly unique cultural itinerary: the 'Paseo del Arte' (Art Walk) in Madrid.
Your visit should, of course, start with the Prado Museum. This is one of the world's finest art galleries, and its rooms are home to the best of the Spanish, Italian and Flemish schools, among other collections. Take your time, because here you'll find some of the most important works by remarkable artists such as Velázquez, Goya, El Greco, Hieronymus Bosch, Titian, Tintoretto, Raphael, Rubens and Rembrandt. Next, head for the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum. Its collection includes works from early 13th-century painting through to German Expressionism, with examples of Impressionism, the English School and the European and American avant-garde, with valuable pieces by their greatest exponents: Dürer, Van Dyck, Renoir, Degas, Cezanne, Kandinsky…
The Reina Sofía National Art Centre –recently extended and now among Europe's largest galleries– still awaits. Here you'll find Picasso's universal work Guernica, along with an outstanding collection of contemporary Spanish art including pieces by Miró, Dalí, Chillida and Tàpies.
The genius of Picasso and Dalí
The work of these two Spanish artists revolutionised 20th-century art. The Picasso Museum in Barcelona will allow you to examine the work of this Cubist master in depth and follow his evolution. The pieces on display cover his formative years, the different stages of his artistic production, and his work as an engraver and ceramicist. Science and Charity, Harlequin and the Maids of Honour series are some of the emblematic canvasses by Pablo Picasso on display at the museum. If you want to enjoy the surrealist world of Salvador Dalí, then make for the Dalí Theatre-Museum in Figueres, in the province of Girona. Situated 139 kilometres from the city of Barcelona, a visit to the museum takes the form of a game as you try to make out the hidden images to be found within the creations on display.
Tribute to contemporary art
A trip to the famous Guggenheim Bilbao Museum is worthwhile just to see the building designed by prestigious architect Frank Gehry. This museum in northern Spain has a wide range of avant-garde and contemporary art in its permanent collection. It features outstanding international artists, and a stunning presentation of the works which is designed to harmonise with the museum building itself. If you like modern art and are on the Mediterranean coast, then be sure to visit the IVAM Museum in Valencia: its exhibition programme tends to focus on the classical avant-garde movements developed up to the 1960s. And in inland Spain, specifically in the city of León, we recommend paying a visit to the Castile-León Museum of Contemporary Art (MUSAC), whose programme and its over 1,600 works pursue the relationship between art and social, political, cultural and aesthetic situations.
The important role played by these places within the Spanish museum panorama is clear, and this can be seen by their attendance figures. However, you'll find an extremely broad offer, and not only for lovers of fine art. There are also museums on science, archaeology, maritime themes… Using the search engine www.spain.info you can find information on the over 400 collections. The hard part will be choosing between them!

This article appeared in a March 2017 issue of the student newsletter.
By Debra Dennis
Who will answer the call to become police officers?
Angela Y. Davis didn't think twice about it. Following the fatal shooting of five Dallas police officers last July, she enrolled in the Cedar Valley College Law Enforcement Academy training program. Almost 10 months later, she's set to graduate from the academy on March 23.
"I would like to be part of a movement of educating the public about the duties and fears of police officers," she said. "I feel I can relate to both lifestyles as a public servant who is simply trying to return home safely to my family."
In doing so, she hopes to sidestep judgment and harassment and to find some common ground between officers and the residents they serve.
"Both parties are more alike than some would care to admit. I would like to help with the problem instead of becoming the problem, "she said.
Following the July 7 attack, Dallas Police Chief David Brown, who recently retired, called on protesters to join DPD's ranks and help resolve problems that led to police and community discord. For Davis, 36, the shootings only steeled her resolve.
In spite of the dangers, she was never discouraged from her goal to serve and protect her community. She is counting on her experience in public service where she already has worked as a jailer, clerk and — for a short period — volunteer Dallas County firefighter and paramedic.
Davis said her goal of becoming a police officer is a natural step as she comes closer to possibly patrolling the Oak Cliff neighborhood where she grew up.
"I just love public service, all forms of it. That's where my heart is. I want to serve others. I've looked at all forms of public safety. I've always thought there are different ways of serving the public," she explained.
Davis worked for the Dallas County Jail as a detention service officer. And, while living in Arizona, she worked for the juvenile jail. She also has served stints as a court clerk for the cities of Red Oak and DeSoto.
"A lot of people have not had a chance to see both sides of public service," Davis said. "Basically, they don't know what the other side is going through. The line of communication has to be more open for the police and the community members they serve. Mutual trust will come with interaction. That's why we talk. Maybe a better understanding will come about, and bridges and walls will be torn down."
Davis' instructor, Lt. Mark Smith, said she has shown leadership and, for that, he has named her "sergeant" of her class. The title is largely ceremonial, but it makes Davis the "go-to person" among her peers, he said.
"Angela has done very well in the academy up to this point, and she has taken her duties in that role with the same professionalism I see in everything else she attempts," said Smith, director of the academy.
"I found a young woman who I believe embodies modern-day police work and the call that we receive to do this job," Smith said. He describes Davis as disciplined, focused and determined.
Men and women who want to become police officers face many challenges. Their character is tested. That is part of the training in an atmosphere where law enforcement has endured a searing and, some say deserved, public relations problem.
Police work is not for everyone, Smith said. The training is rigorous; the stress, palpable.
"I have great hopes for Angela," said Smith. "She has a great attitude and always asks, 'How can I do that better?' Our job at the academy is to make them believe in law enforcement. But we can't put this (belief) in their hearts. They have to come here with that. Not everyone can do this type of work."
Davis has demonstrated skill in the physical stamina and mental demands of becoming an officer.
Concerned about her shooting technique, she is eager to ask questions. During a recent class, she practiced her target stance in Smith's office. "Am I leaning in?" she asked Smith recently as she aimed a training pistol. Her feet were steadied, and her nerves appeared calm. Her eyes never left the target.
Peace officer trainees must master physical and tactical rigors in an environment that mirrors what they will face on the job, Smith said.
Davis wants to pair her police academy experience with her firefighter training to become an investigator. "I am a problem solver," she reiterated.
Davis finds strength in her classroom studies and among her peers. She knows there is a lot of stress in police work. She has heard the critics who complain that officers too often rely on excessive force. And she has heard talk that officers are tasked with solving too many social ills.
She hopes to be among the officers who bridge that gap.
"We need to get to know one another, and that brings about understanding," Davis said. "We are all human, and any one of us can have a stressful day. The trust will come with interaction. Maybe a better understanding will come about, and barriers will be torn down."
Davis will receive her certificate when she graduates; last week, she took and passed the required Texas Commission on Law Enforcement or TCOLE exam. "I have successfully completed all academy and state requirements for a Basic Peace Officer in the state of Texas," she said. Passing the test means Davis will become a certified peace officer who is eligible to work for any city, county or state law enforcement agency in the state.
"My family is always asking, 'Are you sure you want to do this?' And, yes I'm very sure. This is why I'm here," declared Davis.
In addition to Cedar Valley's program, Eastfield College also offers basic peace officer training. Both schools are licensed by the TCOLE. For more information, visit Cedar Valley College's Law Enforcement Academy or Eastfield College's Criminal Justice Training Center.

Calyx Capital Advisors, LLC
We are a boutique wealth management firm in Manhattan. We manage the totality of our client's financial lives with comprehensive financial planning and conservative asset management. The calyx is the green part of the flower that shrouds the bud before it blooms and then folds back and supports the flowering bloom from underneath (see attached file for explanation and pictures). We see our job as protecting our clients' finances and supporting the beautiful lives that they have fashioned for themselves (typically from hard work and prudent investing).
The target market is people of means, often worth between $1MM and $10MM. As with most financial services companies, our clients have an undercurrent of financial conservatism that speaks to not wanting to risk losing all the money they have accummulated. They are typically very successful, highly educated, and have somewhat cultured, sophisticated tastes.
I have already had the web design for the company completed. Please work within the confines of the provided web site design provided in uploaded files. The general thinking is to have the logo replace the flower image you currently see (you may find that image a useful in generating ideas for your logo). While the flower calyx is green, green does not translate as well as blue (my opinion), so I have opted for a blue tone for the company color (RBG 52-92-156). You may choose to utilize various shades of that blue as well as shades of gray.
Should you feel strongly about using other colors, feel free to offer them and I will let you know if I like them.
The general thinking is to utilize the calyx shape for inspiration, but find a way to create a more abstract, innovative representation of it. To that end, I have included same basic shapes you may find useful, an innovative logo that I like, and pictures/explanation of the calyx.
Should you want to combine the log and the company name, the preferred typeface is Copperplate Gothic Light. My general thinking, though, is that the logo would stand on its own.
The files we will require are:
Print file format - .ai (CMYK)
Web file format - .jpg and layered .psd (RGB)
I would also like to have multiple sizes of the final logo design.

BELLEFONTE, Pa. - A Pennsylvania judge plans to issue a written opinion about whether a lawsuit filed by the family of longtime Penn State football coach Joe Paterno against the NCAA should be allowed to go forward.
After a 3 1/2-hour argument session Tuesday in Bellefonte, Pa., Judge John B. Leete did not say when he planned to rule.
College sports' governing body is asking the court to throw out the lawsuit.
Leete is considering a host of issues, including whether Penn State itself is an indispensable party to the lawsuit, which challenges the NCAA penalties imposed on the university as a result of the Jerry Sandusky child molestation scandal.
The Paterno family and other plaintiffs allege breach of contract, contract interference, defamation, civil conspiracy and commercial disparagement.
