When doing studies with acceleration (inertial forces, i.e., gravity), it seems that there is at least three ways to include a component that you want to assume is rigid:
1. Right click on a part and select "make rigid".
2. Right click on a part and select "remote mass". (Note the performance issues; see https://forum.solidworks.com/thread/27603?tstart=0)
3. Use the workaround I describe in https://forum.solidworks.com/thread/27603?tstart=0 - manually add a remote load/mass to face(s).
Option 1 seems to mesh the part that is rigid. I don't know if it's a shell mesh just to establish the contact with the face, or if it's actually meshing the whole thing. Seems like a waste of processing time to me.
Option 2 seems predictable enough. Aside from the performance issues, the face onto which the remote mass is attached becomes rigid. So I can't see a difference between 1 and 2.
Option 3 also makes the selected faces rigid (to each other). You can try it yourself very easily; make a part that is very weak in the middle and using split lines make two "contact patches" on either side of the weak point, and attach a remote force or mass to these two faces---the weak point is inconsequential.
So can someone tell me what the difference is between these two methods as far as the simulation goes?

The Vietnam National Petroleum Group (Group/Petrolimex/PLX) organised a 2017 meeting with local press on December 19, 2017 at the Group's headquarters on No 1 Kham Thien St., Dong Da District, Hanoi.
Petrolimex spokesperson and Deputy Director General Nguyen Quang Dung expressed gratitude to State media management bodies and reporters/journalists
A great number of journalists/reporters representing more than 30 Central media organisations attended the meeting which also witnessed the attendance of representatives from the Vietnam Automobile Manufacturers' Association (VAMA) Ninh Huu Chan, and Hino Motors Vietnam: Deputy Director General Dang Hai Chau, Finance Director Ryo Yamada, Senior Official – Factory Director Nguyen Dang Phuong.
In the intimate atmosphere of the meeting, Petrolimex spokesperson and Deputy Director General Nguyen Quang Dung, on behalf of Petrolimex, expressed gratitude towards State media management bodies and reporters for their understanding and timely coverage, honestly and objectively reflecting business activities as well as efforts and responsibilities of Petrolimex labourers.
Additionally, spokesperson and Deputy Director General Nguyen Quang Dung briefly introduced products that Petrolimex has put on sale, the mineral petrol E5 RON 92 and particularly diesel 0.01S-V (EURO5) – known as the fuel of highest quality in Vietnamese market that Petrolimex is taking the lead in trading: "The trade of diesel level 5 instead of level IV in line with Decision 49/2011/QD-TTg showcases Petrolimex's efforts to provide consumers with products of highest quality, making an active contribution to environmental protection."
According to Senior Official – Factor Director at Hino Motors Vietnam Nguyen Dang Phuong said the use of diesel fuel EURO 2 for diesel engine EURO4 will cause serious damage to the engine. Therefore, automobile manufacturers warmly welcome Petrolimex's supply of diesel 0.001S-V (EURO5) on the local market in line with the then Prime Minister's Decision No 49/2011/QD-TTg dated September 1, 2011 to limit the exhaust gas emissions into the environment which may cause greenhouse effects, and to protect the environment. As planned as many as 70 per cent of Petrolimex petrol stations across the country will supply diesel 0.001S-V (EURO5), users of diesel engine EURO4 can surely buy the fuel they need.

Abercrombie Loathes Black So Much That Employees Can't Wear It To Work
Abercrombie & Fitch bans the color black from its brand.
The retailer confirmed to Business Insider that it doesn't sell black clothing. Management also discourages corporate employees at its Columbus, Ohio headquarters from wearing the popular color at work.
Employees told us that it's common knowledge that notoriously meticulous Abercrombie CEO Michael Jeffries is behind the exile of black clothing.
"Management will tell people that Mike hates the color, and so we're not supposed to wear it to work," the employee, who wished to remain anonymous, said. "It even applies to coats in the winter."
The company provided us with this statement about why it doesn't care for the color:
" Abercrombie & Fitch does not sell black clothing and discourages wearing it at our home office and in our stores, because we are a casual lifestyle brand and feel black clothing is formal. We have nothing against black clothing and feel it is perfectly appropriate for things like tuxedos."
Among its competitors, the ban on black is unique to Abercrombie: American Eagle sells a plethora of black options.
It's another example of the power the image-conscious Jeffries wields over the brand.
Jeffries is said to be the reason Abercrombie doesn't sell women's XL or XXL clothing. Its largest women's pants are a size 10, while H&M's standard line goes up to a size 16, and American Eagle offers up to 18.
He explained his obsession with traditional beauty in a 2006 interview with Salon.
"In every school there are the cool and popular kids, and then there are the not-so-cool kids," he told the site. "Candidly, we go after the cool kids. We go after the attractive all-American kid with a great attitude and a lot of friends. A lot of people don't belong [in our clothes], and they can't belong. Are we exclusionary? Absolutely."
A Bloomberg story last year detailed the crazy rules Jeffries had for models working on the company's private jet.
The flight crew had to wear Abercrombie jeans, polo shirts, flip-flops, sweatshirts and a winter coat. Jewelry besides wedding rings and watches was banned.

"This Fellowship was a case study of incredible success." – Eric Gurna
When Eric Gurna, CEO of LA's Best needed a new website to make it easier to donate on mobile devices, he knew he had a big opportunity to do more than build the website. Two years into his tenure as CEO, and two years from its 30th anniversary, he felt it was the right time to remake how LA's BEST told its story and presented itself. LA's BEST provides safe and supervised afterschool education, enrichment and recreation programs for the 200 highest need, least resourced schools in Los Angeles. The agency serves 25,000 kids each day.
Eric knew he didn't have the internal capacity, and he didn't want to make a permanent hire as he knew that after the project, they wouldn't need someone full time. When he heard about Encore Fellowships, it seemed like a perfect fit.
"I ran a consulting business for fifteen years, so I know when it's useful to bring consultants on. We needed subject matter expertise for this substantial project. The project had a bigger, more open-ended goal than a website. It was essentially a rebrand. We needed to think about our visual look, our messaging, and our story. The field of education had changed and the language of education had changed. We needed to clarify our values and our message."
When Eric met Joan Goldfeder, it felt like a good fit.
Joan spent over 25 years in advertising, including media planning, account management and strategic planning at agencies such as Benton & Bowles and Ogilvy & Mather. She then built her own consulting business in branding, strategic planning and marketing for agencies and clients; in the last few years, she has consulted largely with nonprofits.
Joan first heard about Encore Fellowships when she met our Los Angeles Program Operator, Judy Bamberger at a lunch. Soon after that, Judy contacted Joan to see if she would be interested in a fellowship with LA's BEST. The need for a rebrand and associated messaging was a strong match with Joan's skills.
"My job was to make the visual identity, messaging and website better communicate both the real need and the tremendous impact and importance of the program," explains Joan.
Joan created a process to help stakeholders talk through and negotiate the issues. She conducted interviews and focus groups, posed messages and language the team could react to, and facilitated hammering out the messaging. She provided a formal report and recommendations on brand positioning and vision statements. With LA's BEST leadership and board input and approval, Joan and Eric worked with a copywriter to develop new value propositions and messaging.
The messaging now demonstrates the impact and importance of LA's BEST work.
"The message became more about the philosophy and real benefits of the program. We captured the idea that LA's BEST is not just a place for kids to go after school, but rather, a means to discover and develop new ideas, passions, skills and relationships with peers and caring adults, that have profound and long-lasting impact – impact that can be measured in things like higher school attendance and graduation rates, but also in equally critical measures of self-confidence, curiosity and wonder, and enhanced senses of purpose, drive and self-worth in kids. It empowers them with the agency to explore and discover the opportunities in their lives and make their own choices," says Joan.
"Without Joan, I would have cut corners and had only incremental results. Joan made sure we took the work to the next level," says Eric.
Ultimately, LA's BEST received a family of documents for all their communication needs, including value statements, goals, and key messages. The team now has boilerplate they can feel confident using and know they will be on message.
Adds Eric, "It changed how I talk about certain things we do . . . I feel more confident in how we tell our story and explain who we are; why it's important. We are helping children make meaningful choices because we want them to grow up to have lives full of choices – that is a message that is from the heart. It has given us a toolbox and wind in our sails to recruit staff, students and families, and explain to school leaders what LA's BEST does."
To make an Encore Fellowship successful, Eric advises, "Make sure you spend the time to find the right fit. Don't underestimate the energy needed to create the conditions for the Fellow to be successful. The most important thing is that the Fellow has a strong point of contact and is not expected to just figure out how the organization works. Make sure you acclimate the Fellow. Our organization is a public/private partnership, with 200 program sites and three boards. We had to make sure Joan knew how the organization functioned."
Joan found herself using her skills in a new and innovative environment as LA's BEST is a unique partnership between the Mayor's Office, the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) and the private sector. Joan learned about City and LAUSD policies and procedures, and the political sensitivity needed to align so many stakeholders within one organization.
"Through the Fellowship I learned that what drives me is the project: the strategic thinking, figuring out the real benefits and an organization's story ‒ and not the money," Joan observed. "I like digging and finding answers, helping an organization get to a better place in their branding and messaging. I intend to keep consulting in the nonprofit area."
Eric continues, "Encore Fellowships are the equivalent of a grant for gaining professional expertise for a drastically reduced price. I am grateful to have this opportunity and proud we made the most of it. The level of expertise and substance was an incredible long-term value. Additionally, Encore Fellows assure that organizations are getting people with commitment to the work . . . we are getting people who really want to help make positive change in the world. That compassionate commitment drove Joan to provide the highest quality, stick with difficult decisions and push through a lot of tedious work. She pushed to make the final product excellent, not just good enough. This Fellowship was a case study of incredible success."

Earlier this week, the new Premier of Ontario was sworn in.
Kathleen Wynne is not only the first female to hold this position, but she is also the first to have been a former Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing. For the GTA and the province, it is advantageous to have a premier that understands the land development, homebuilding and professional renovation industry and the challenges we're all facing as residents of his great region, as well as opportunities ready for the taking.
BILD is looking forward to working with Wynne to realign Places to Grow with the economic imperatives of the province. As we plan for 100,000 people and 50,000 new jobs that come to this region every year, it is important that we all work together to create vibrant, well-planned and well-designed complete communities across the GTA.
In her role as the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing, Wynne was the keeper of legislation like the Planning Act, the Development Charges Act and the Ontario Building Code. Over the last few years, members of BILD and the Ontario Home Builders' Association have worked with Wynne and her staff to make sure that the public policies and initiatives could be implemented on the ground.
Now we will be working with the new Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing (and chair of cabinet), Linda Jeffrey (Brampton-Springdale). She was the labour minister and she is also a former Brampton city councillor so she comes in with knowledge of municipal affairs and will understand our industry's economic impact in the GTA and beyond.
One issue that is forefront in the minds of our industry leaders — and many residents across the GTA — is housing affordability. It's a very complex issue and there aren't any easy answers. We hope to work with Jeffrey on the issue by amending public policy so that wood-frame buildings can be constructed up to six storeys, which presents an opportunity to build more affordable midrise homes.
Glen Murray (Toronto Centre) was named Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure. Before going into provincial politics, he was the mayor of Winnipeg, so he is a city champion and has an understanding of the challenges facing municipalities in terms of funding much-needed infrastructure.
One important infrastructure issue for the GTA is the expansion and interconnectivity of transit and transportation and BILD is ready to work with the minister and his team to find a fair and adequate transit funding strategy.
We want to improve communication between the industry and government and protect the interests of consumers. On these three very important issues — growth planning, housing affordability, and transit and transportation infrastructure — we are ready to work with the new premier and her team.
Bryan Tuckey is the president and CEO of the Building Industry and Land Development Association (bildgta.ca) and can be found on Twitter @bildgta, Facebook, YouTube and BILD's blog (bildblogs.ca). The views expressed here are those of BILD.

Blagojevich impeached by overwhelming majority in Illinois House
Wired PR News.com – Accused Governor of Illinois Rod Blagojevich was impeached by the Illinois House on Friday. As reported by the Associated Press (AP), the Illinois House voted 114 to 1 in favor of impeachment. Only 60 votes were necessary for the motion to carry.
The vote will lead to a Senate trial to determine if Blagojevich's actions should result in loss of his position. The accusations against him include charges that he attempted to sell the open seat of President Elect Barack Obama on the Senate.
A special House committee report released Thursday contained the statement, as quoted by the AP, "The citizens of this state must have confidence that their governor will faithfully serve the people and put their interests before his own… It is with profound regret that the committee finds that our current governor has not done so."

Ever thought about travelling the South Island of New Zealand with your family in a campervan?
We visited back in 2013 when Master E was 20 months old. Here's my pick on what to do and where to go to experience a truly magical part of the world with your family.
There are many benefits of a New Zealand campervan trip. It is a lot cheaper than staying in hotels and apartments, you see and experience more, and it really does become a family bonding experience. And when it comes to most holiday parks in New Zealand, they really are second to none. They're clean and fully equipped with kitchens, dining rooms, hot showers, laundries, internet kiosks and Wi-Fi, picnic areas, barbeques, change stations for babies, activity desks and dump stations (for your toilet & kitchen waste).
When to travel
If you're not a fan of very cold weather then perhaps travelling in winter is not the best option, although you can opt for heaters and extra blankets. Winter temperatures on New Zealand's South Island can range from 1°C to 12°C but it's the best time to go skiing and enjoy the snow, see glaciers, build snowmen and participate in a good old snowball fight.
If warmer weather is more your thing, summer days on the South Island are long and sunny with mild nights (10°C – 22°C), perfect to experience various outdoor activities. Autumn is a little cooler than summer but the changing colour of the deciduous trees is very picturesque. Spring can experience a mix of cold and warm days but is quite beautiful with new growth after the winter.
A suggested itinerary
Christchurch is the best place to pick up your campervan as flights from Brisbane to Christchurch are usually cheaper than flying into Queenstown. Campervan depots are located close to the airport and depending on when you arrive, you can either take off on your adventure straight away or stay overnight at one of the many hotels right near the airport and collect your van the next morning.
Lake Tekapo Holiday Park
Lakeside Drive, Lake Tekapo
Only a 3-hour drive from Christchurch, the turquoise colour of Lake Tekapo is magnificent and so are the Southern Alps that form its backdrop. Drive in, park your van on your lake view powered site and enjoy the many activities within walking distance from the holiday park. At Tekapo Springs, located right beside the holiday park, you can enjoy ice skating, tubing, hot pools and for the mums, a day spa. In the summer months you can canoe, pedal boat or Zorb ball on the lake. Take a walk down the road to catch a game of mini golf and visit the Church of the Good Shepherd where you can marvel at the way the church window frames the Southern Alps like a picture. Don't forget to take a photo of the famous Sheep Dog Monument by the water's edge. Come nighttime you will be amazed by the clarity of Tekapo's night sky, unobstructed by any pollution or light. Experience it in full at The Mount John Observatory just up the road. www.laketekapo-accommodation.co.nz
Arrowtown Holiday Park
12 Centennial Avenue, Arrowtown
Before venturing into Queenstown, consider staying a night or two in the old gold mining town of Arrowtown. Surrounded by picturesque mountains, it's a laidback town with plenty to enjoy. The Arrowtown Holiday Park has not long been redeveloped and offers very modern facilities. Just a short stroll from the holiday park will have you in the centre of town where you can eat fudge from the famous The Remarkable Sweet Shop, visit the Lakes District Museum & Gallery, pan for gold on the historic Arrow River, marvel at the historic miners cottages lining the street or visit the Chinese Settlement that dates back to the early 19th century. If you're here to ski, Coronet Peak and The Remarkables are close by too. www.arrowtownholidaypark.co.nz
Queenstown Holiday Park
Upper Brecon Street, Queenstown
When you arrive in Queenstown be prepared for loads of fun. Queenstown Holiday Park boasts modern facilities with the most spectacular view of The Remarkables from the communal dining area. The list of things to do in Queenstown is endless. Apart from the obvious skiing, you can take the Skyline gondola up the mountain to experience amazing views over Lake Wakatipu to The Remarkables, Cecil Peak and Walter Peak. While up the mountain there's the luge ride for the thrillseekers, a cafe, and the Stratosfare restaurant serving up buffet lunch and dinner to hungry families. Once you're back down the mountain you can enjoy boat rides on Lake Wakatipu and adrenaline junkies must not miss the Shotover Jet boat ride on the Shotover River. There's Lord of the Rings tours, horse riding journeys, scenic helicopter flights, guided walks and lots more to experience in Queenstown. Lastly, don't forget to visit Fergburger for the most amazing hamburger that will refuel you after a huge day of fun. www.holidaypark.net.nz
Lake Wanaka Holiday Park
212 Brownston Street, Wanaka
With stunning views over Lake Wanaka, this is the perfect stop for your trip back up to Christchurch with comfortable facilities and a short walking distance into town. While mum and dad could likely sit all day gazing at the magnificence of the Southern Alps from the campervan, the kids will love the mysteries of Puzzleworld and marvel at the huge toy collection at the National Transport & Toy Museum. There's skiing here too, with Cardrona and Trebel Cone being the nearest ski fields as well as the Snow Farm. The Snow Farm has plenty of family fun including the Snow Fun Zone where kids can go snow tubing, sledding, build snow sculptures and explore snow caves.
Geraldine KIWI Holiday Park
39 Hislop Street, Geraldine
Geraldine is a great family friendly spot to stay overnight and recharge your batteries for the final leg back up to Christchurch. If you're a bit of a foodie, Geraldine is home to an abundance of locally produced foods with the farmers market held every Saturday from October to April. There are a number of walks and scenic reserves for the whole family to discover as well as playgrounds within the town and in the holiday park itself.
Things to consider
Campervan configuration
There's no use considering a two berth van if you have a family of four. The van should have enough beds for everyone and, most importantly, seatbelts for everyone too. Baby seats and booster seats are an optional extra.
It's likely you'll need plenty of storage to keep the living and sleeping areas clear. Make sure there are plenty of storage options when selecting your campervan.
Living space
When travelling with your family, it's always handy to have a van that has a couple of separate living areas so that everyone isn't cooped up at night time or when the weather turns bad.
Food preparation and equipment
Having the right food preparation area and equipment is a sanity saver because you will be preparing food regularly when travelling with kids. Check that the van has a sufficiently sized fridge, cooking utensils, a microwave and storage for pantry items. Depending on the campervan company, items such as heaters, baby seats, GPS, and picnic table and chairs usually come as optional extras. Also check whether or not towels and linen are included and that there are sufficient for your family.
Be aware that older model campervans may not include the safety features that newer models do. It's always a good idea to ask the campervan company if there are safety features included to give you peace of mind when your kids are playing inside the van while you are outside appreciating the view.
What's your idea of a good family holiday?

If you are not familiar with the concept, Plug&Work Luxembourg is a job party dedicated to ICT and Finance profiles that are looking to upgrade their career in the Grand Duchy. It is also all about informal discussions between participants and recruiters, well, nothing like a traditional job fair!
At the entrance of d'Coque, candidates were given a colored badge matching their sector of activities: yellow for Finance, red for IT developers, black for IT consultants and so on. Then, all they had to do is to look for recruiters with the same necklace's color as theirs. That way, they would know which company is looking for potential hires in their sector.
No printed CV during the job party
Actually, Plug&Work Luxembourg is more like an after-work, where everybody mingles and where no CV is needed. All the recruiters already had the resume of all participants on their tablets: that way and only a click away, they could find the profile they had in front of them. The aim here is to go beyond the CV and the formal questions as usually seen in a job interview. The idea is to humanize the recruitment process and to give a chance to atypical and interesting profiles to stand out and defy the usual standards.
A very selective ICT and Finance recruitment event
Although, you must be wondering: why invite only 40 companies when there are hundreds in Luxembourg? Well, it is a restrictive event because: first, the organizers were well aware that high profiles that are usually attracted by such events seek confidentiality. Thus, they definitely would prefer to avoid bumping into recruiters from their current company while roaming around. Also, to insure quality conversations between recruiters and potential hires. Indeed, seats were intentionally limited for both sides.
Quality over quantity
This year the selection was actually particularly strict. Among the 1,700 registrations that have been made on Plug&Work website, only 690 profiles were selected by the sourcing department of Moovijob. "Quality over quantity" was the organizers' credo. The Moovijob team wanted to tailor a successful event, where the potential hires would not wait to have a proper conversation with the companies' representatives they came for. Also, the profiles were carefully chosen accordingly to the job offers and the needs of the firms participating to Plug&Work Luxembourg.
Who won the match at the end?
Well, there were no games played that night at d'Coque, although a lot of "matching" happened between potential hires and the companies represented during the job party. For once, everybody was winning: at Plug&Work Luxembourg. Both parts put aside formalities and had casual discussions about professional opportunities and what they can bring to each other. And it worked: while sipping drinks, enjoying food and music in the cosy/vintagey atmosphere of Kirchberg's sport center, affinities were created between candidates and potential employers. The day or the week after, some of the participants will be contacted for a job opportunity. If not, it can be also the occasion to change the rules. Despite the popular belief that the ball is always on the recruiters' side: candidates can be proactive too and follow-up with the person they met in Plug&Work Luxembourg. Last year, over a hundred of recruitment have been made thanks to the event. This year, it is expected to be at least the same, according to the organizers and the positive feedbacks they got from the companies.

AT precisely 1.46pm yesterday a fire bell rang out at Greyfriars Church.
The 400 strong congregation - including many Berkshire firefighters, fell silent remembering the thousands who died in the attacks on the World Trade Center on September 11 last year.
People, unwilling to break the silence, lit candles and placed them on a cross made from rubble. Flag bearers formed an arch over the symbolic cross with the Star Spangled Banner and the Union Jack.
The moving service also remembered Reading firefighters David Barnes and Neil Goldsmith who died in a town centre fire on September 15, 1977.
The Bishop of Reading the Right Reverend Dominic Walker, who led the service, told the Evening Post: "I think that when historians come to write the history of the 21st Century, September 11 will be seen as something that led to world peace or terrible world conflict."
There was quiet reflection in many parts of Reading as people remembered the terror of September 11.
The railway station fell silent, as did some shops and offices and the courts. Mayor Liz Winfield-Chislett attended a service at Reading Minster and her deputy Jeanette Skeats led a minute's silence outside the Civic Centre. About 50 people observed a minute's silence outside Reading Town Hall.
An American flag was placed in Broad Street. Upon it were laid flowers and a note.

I think people in Catalunya confuse the fact that in English, a state isn't necessarily a sovereign state, but can also mean something more akin to a province. So when Catalans hear the "United States of America", they think it's some kind of loose federation, like Switzerland. In reality, Spain is much more federal than the United States has been since at least the 1930s. Spain is like 17 little countries, all duplicating the same services, each with their own TV network (there was an article in the Economist a while back remarking that at a summit Zapatero had more reporters following him than Obama. Doubtlessly every one of the 17 networks sent their own TV crew.), health service, school system, etc.
Then Artur starts talking out of his ass and saying how Catalunya could be like Massachusetts in the United States of Europe. I'm sure he'd be shocked to find that according to the Tax Foundation, Massachusetts only gets back 82 cents for every dollar sent to Washington DC.
It's nice to see how he thinks that Catalunya will be at the forefront of research and technology, but given a general unwillingness to invest in primary and secondary education, it's hard to see where these researchers are going to come from, especially now that they have the requirement for university professors to know Catalan in order to get tenure.
Now Mas even wants to create his own IRS, which I'm sure scares the crap out of any multinational that was still thinking of setting up in Catalunya. I mean seriously, if you had a choice between Barcelona and Madrid, you almost can't responsibly chose Barcelona anymore if there's no long term certainty about sovereignty and taxation.
Finally, I hope Artur Mas learned about the last time a US State tried to separate. There was that little experiment called the US Civil War, and it didn't go so well for the states that thought they could just leave.

Some of the world's priciest properties have been forsaken by their owners, including royal residences, grand country houses and luxurious ranches. Take a look at eight of the most fabulous forgone houses worth millions, from Prince Andrew and Fergie's former love nest to Michael Jackson's Neverland and the haunted Pink Floyd manor.
1. Sunninghill Park, Berkshire, UK.
Completed in 1990, the property was dubbed 'Southyork' and the 'Dallas Palace' due to its uncanny resemblance to the ranch house in 1980s soap. Other commentators likened it to an out-of-town Tesco supermarket, while the ever-diplomatic Duke of Edinburgh reportedly described Sunninghill Park as looking like "a tart's bedroom".

South Africans vote 'Deewanagi' from 'OSO' as top songJan 3, 2008 Fakir Hassen
ohannesburg, Jan 3 (IANS) Listeners of public broadcast station Lotus FM and two community radio stations have overwhelmingly voted "Deewanagi Deewanagi" from Shah Rukh Khan's blockbuster film "Om Shanti Om" as the top song of 2007.
Three radio stations - national broadcast station Lotus FM and two community stations East Wave 92.2 and Durban based Hindvani - had a competition linked to voting. The "Dewangi Dewangi" song gathered three times more votes than its closest contender.
South African homemaker Natasha Naicker of Effingham Heights suburb in Durban won prizes worth 225,000 rands for a makeover of her home as she correctly predicted the final tallies for the top three songs of 2007 as voted by the Lotus FM listeners.
The song "Vaaji Vaaji" from the hit Rajnikanth movie "Sivaji" came in second while the title song from Madhuri Dixit's comeback film "Aaja Nachle" came third.
Natasha, a mother of one, said she was overjoyed and was eagerly looking forward to getting the new air-conditioning units, home theatre system, kitchen cupboards and granite tops installed in her home by the sponsors.
In Durban, 13-year-old winner Nikisha Thotaram showed the festive season spirit of sharing and giving when she decided to share her prize of air-conditioning units worth 15,000 rands with another entrant, Bashnie Govender.
The two were among four finalists who had a lucky draw because all had correctly predicted the top three songs on Hindvani, where the song "Kachchi Kaliyan" from the film "Laaga Chunari Mein Daag" replaced the "Sivaji" song at the second spot.
In Johannesburg, Zameeda Abdul Hamid, an East Wave 92.2 listener, won a Gold Card from cinema chain Numetro that will allow her and a partner to see unlimited movies for a year - worth up to 50,000 rands - after she correctly predicted the top three songs at the station.
Here, "Ajaa Nachle" was in second place and the title song from "Jhoom Baraabar Jhoom" shot on Amitabh Bachchan was third.

Lone Witness by Rachel Dylan
Reviewed by: Pam Graber
Genre: Romantic Suspense
Publisher: Bethany House
Publication Date: May 1, 2018
Sophie Dawson is a tough Assistant District Attorney. She knows what it is like to go after justice against criminals. What she doesn't know is how it feels to sit in the witness seat with the prosecution's entire case hinging on her testimony. As the only eye witness to a double homicide, Sophie has a lot riding on her shoulders. Can she continue to do her job, while she runs from the target her testimony has put squarely on her back?
Recently transferred to the White Collar Crime Unit, Sophie has just begun investigating the most recent case of fraud. She's sure she has her man, but, as she continues to investigate, pressure mounts to settle out of court. When her digging turns up dirt beyond what she was expecting to find, can she convince her boss that something else is going on?
As the danger escalates, it becomes very apparent that Sophie needs help. Cooper Knight works in private security, and is hired by Sophie's dad to keep her safe. Working together, can they find the missing link to blow Sophie's case wide open, without putting her in the crosshairs of killers?
This is book 2 in Rachel Dylan's Atlanta Justice series. I thought Lone Witness was even better than Deadly Proof, and that one was stellar. Lone Witness had more twists and turns, and I never knew where the next threat was coming from. I love that Rachel Dylan is a lawyer herself, according to her bio, so she knows the intricacies of the courtroom that most of us have never seen. The characters are strong – especially the women in both of these books. The men are no slouches either. All work for Justice in Atlanta, in some way.
I will say, there are a few characters that I can hardly wait to see what she's going to do with them in the next book. The defense attorney comes to mind, as does the guest prosecutor. I also can't wait to see who the third friend ends up with.
Lovers of the romantic suspense genre NEED to pick this one up! It was a fast-paced, twisting, screamer of a story. Prepare to bite your nails and stay up WAY too late! While this is book 2 in the series, it can be read as a stand-alone novel. Although, since both books were so good, I'd hate to see you miss out by skipping Deadly Proof altogether. I absolutely recommend this one!
Rated PG: The suspense is strong in this one.

Ok, I'll take a guess. Way back, looking at the picture from T075 you had managed to take 3 colonies in the Hiver cluster. My guess is that the AI has lost two of them, Lagash and Ti'xhik.
ZedF wrote:As far as pushing ships out to Tarka space from the main Human core worlds... not so much! All the emitter ships in the Tarka cluster are new construction out of the two most rapidly developing and most productive colonies on that front. The long path through dead worlds between the Human core and the Tarkasian frontier is still infested with Tarka scout groups, and the Humans have had their new emitter fleets kept too busy with other jobs to clear that path.
Wow, you managed to keep them until two of them developed. I had expected the AI to be more aggressive. It should be easier now that you can build ships locally.

I Squared Capital to invest up to $1 billion in India5 min read . Updated: 13 Jun 2016, 02:47 PM IST
I Squared Capital has committed to invest in road assets worth Rs8,000 crore through Cube Highways, and in assets worth Rs2,000 crore to its rooftop solar platform Amplus Energy Solutions
Mumbai: US private equity (PE) firm I Squared Capital is looking to invest as much as $1 billion (around ₹ 6,700 crore) in Indian infrastructure, including roads, logistics and rooftop solar power projects.
"While we don't have country specific allocations, we can see ourselves putting somewhere from $500-600 million to a billion dollar plus in the country over the life of our fund. If the right opportunity shows up, then we can transact at that scale," said Gautam Bhandari, partner at I Squared Capital, who is looking to deploy about one-third of its funds under management in the region.
In 2015, I Squared Capital raised a $3 billion fund named ISQ Global Infrastructure Fund. That corpus has now grown to $3.8 billion, Bhandari said in an interview on Thursday.
I Squared has invested more than ₹ 1,000 crore through its investment platform Cube Highways and Infrastructure Pte Ltd in three road assets till date. It has committed to invest in assets worth ₹ 2,000 crore to its rooftop solar platform.
Founded in 2012 by former Morgan Stanley executives, I Squared Capital is an independent global infrastructure investment manager that is focused on energy, utilities and transport in North America, Europe and some high-growth economies. It was started by Sadek Wahba (former global head of Morgan Stanley Infrastructure), Gautam Bhandari (earlier head of Morgan Stanley Infrastructure in India, Middle East and Sub-Saharan Africa) along with Adil Rahmathulla (the head of investment execution in the Americas for the group).
The investment firm is looking at only doing so-called control deals, giving them more say over their investee companies.
"We do deals in which we have governance and control. That can really add a lot of value to our portfolio companies and, therefore, to the assets," Bhandari said.
He considers the road assets in India to be a highly attractive investment opportunity.
"We take a very nuanced approach, where we like some of the assets within infrastructure in India; we think some assets need lot of policy and regulatory help before they can become mature enough for investments. So, specifically, the road sector is one which we have identified in India as being attractive globally," said Bhandari.
Besides, the risks in the road sector are lower now, given the National Highways Authority of India's (NHAI) standardized concession agreements and progressive policies, he added.
The sentiment around the road sector has improved in the recent times, primarily on the back of policy and regulatory decisions by the government and NHAI, said Vishwas Udgirkar, senior director at Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu India Pvt. Ltd.
I Squared Capital is looking at risk-adjusted annual returns between 15% and 20% from the road sector, Bhandari said.
I Squared Capital has invested in Indian road projects through Cube Highways and Infrastructure Pte Ltd—its toll road and transportation investment platform. Cube Highways is a joint venture between I Squared Capital and International Finance Corp. (IFC), the private investment arm of the World Bank.
Cube Highways has made three investments in India till date: a 74% stake in Madhucon Agra Jaipur Expressways Ltd, a 100% stake in Western UP Tollway Ltd and 74% acquisition of Jaipur Mahua Tollways Pvt. Ltd, a road project in Rajasthan for ₹ 525 crore.
I Squared Capital has committed to invest in road assets worth ₹ 8,000 crore through Cube Highways.
The firm will also look at creating platforms for investing in the logistics business and warehouses and bring in equity partners for the same. "As a strategy, we love to partner. On Cube, we have a significant investment of 20% with the IFC. As we look at logistics we are open to partnering with people who have specialized focus on logistics," said Bhandari.
Investing in logistics and warehousing is part of I Squared Capital's India investment plans.
"Our near-term expansion plan will be on the associated peripherals of highways. We are working actively with NHAI, in some of these peripherals like wayside amenities. We are also planning to convert two of our roads to intelligent highways, which could be a big business in the future," said Harikishan Reddy, chief executive officer of Cube Highways Advisors.
Out of the planned ₹ 8,000- crore commitment, Cube Highways plans to have 70-75% of its assets in the road sector and the rest in other sectors like logistics, warehouses and wayside amenities.
"The thesis that we have when we do these platforms is one of technology-led turnaround," Bhandari said, adding that technology has allowed Cube Highways to improve the operating performance of highways significantly and the warehousing sector is on the verge of a similar technology-led story.
Besides roads, I Squared Capital has made significant financial commitments in the renewable energy sector. It has committed to invest in assets worth ₹ 2,000 crore to its rooftop solar platform Amplus Energy Solutions Pvt. Ltd. The platform sets up rooftop solar power solutions for industrial and commercial clients.
However, in the short term, the fund plans to stay away from large scale solar power projects.
"The utility scale larger power projects tend to be very competitive, and the returns are simply not attractive enough for us from a risk-adjusted perspective," said Bhandari.
Large projects in the solar sector will undergo the trajectory of roads, which witnessed high exuberance followed by several challenges, he said. I Squared Capital's bullish stance on the road sector comes at a time when most infrastructure and road developers are reeling under huge debt. In certain cases, lenders have been forced to take over some of these companies through the strategic debt restructuring (SDR) mechanism.
SDR allows lenders to convert their debt into at least 51% equity in borrowers.
Lenders have initiated SDR process at several infrastructure firms, such as Gammon India Ltd, IVRCL Ltd and Lanco Infratech Ltd.
According to a 13 May report by Kotak Institutional Equities, road asset sales worth around ₹ 20,800 crore have been announced in the last three-and-a-half years by debt-laden infrastructure developers.
While firms might be under pressure to sell assets, not much has changed in terms of valuations, said Reddy of Cube Highways Advisors, adding that the valuation expectations of sellers remain high.
Also, banks have not been as active as their Western counterparts in cases of distressed infrastructure developers, added Bhandari.
"While the banks have woken up to this, they are still less active than what they have been in the West. If this was the US or any other developed market, I think the banks by now would have more or less completed their restructuring," he said.
Infrastructure is a key focus for the Narendra Modi-led government to stimulate investments into the country.
Finance minister Arun Jaitley, in his budget speech this year, announced that the total government capital expenditure on infrastructure during the fiscal year will be ₹ 2.21 trillion.

For example, if you make a first deposit of €100, you will receive an additional €100 as bonus money, giving you a total balance of €200. Before players are allowed to cash out any bonus money or winnings derived from the use of such bonus monies, they are required to complete the total bonus wagering requirements.

It's SUMMER! The season of sandals, cold watermelon, sunscreen and no desire to turn the oven on! We all still need our chocolate fix though. What could be better than a no-oven needed chocolate peanut butter bar? Well, maybe 3-4 more on your plate.
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
½ cup peanut butter
2 sticks butter, softened
1 cup peanut butter
2 cups powdered sugar
1 ½ tsp vanilla
1 12-oz box vanilla wafer cookies
1 12-oz bag of mini chocolate chips
½ cups chopped peanuts (low-salt)
For the topping: in a medium size bowl, microwave, melt the chocolate chips and peanut butter. Stir until smooth. Set aside.
For the bars: Grease a 9-by-13-inch pan with cooking spray. Using a mixer, mix together the base ingredients, the butter and peanut butter until smooth. Stir in the powdered sugar a cup at a time. Mix well.
Add the vanilla wafers to a food processor and process until they are in crumbs. If you don't have a processes, then pour into a gallon size zip lock bag, seal and smash away with a rolling pin. Add the crumbs and mini chocolate chips to the peanut butter/butter/sugar mixture and mix until just combined. Spread it firmly into the pan and get ready for chocolate happiness!
Pour the topping over the base. Spread it out evenly and sprinkle over the chopped peanuts. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, then cut into 24 bars. Store in the fridge.
Note: can be made GF, just pick up the vanilla wafers that are Gluten-free.

Solidcore takes pilates to the next level
February 5, 2019
Reformers, spin bikes, rowers and yoga mats are something that Westport citizens know all too well. But Solidcore takes pride in their small classes and intensified level to differentiate their class from all the others.
With 40 locations all across America, Solidcore finally moved to Westport located on 374 Post Road East. Its grand opening was in November 2018, providing an intense pilates class at a convenient location.
"I went to Solidcore last weekend and I am still sore from it." Nicole Jamison '21 said. "It was really hard but so much fun."
The high intensity, low impact workout class focuses on strengthening your muscles. Unlike other pilates places, they focus on one-on-one attention to make sure that each move you complete is correct so that no injuries occur and you leave feeling like you made progress.
According to Joanna Jung, the Westport studio manager, the workout is meant to be challenging and purposefully sequenced to work each muscle.
"We hope to bring a challenging workout, that helps people realize their fullest potential with their bodies," Jung said. "You'll leave feeling shaky yet strong."
Solidcore also takes pride in the fact that anybody can take this class. There is a beginner class which teaches the basics to people new to working out and are nervous for their first Solidcore class, and a full body class which is the signature 50 minute muscle working class. No matter what level you are, there is a class for everyone.
"Although I have not been to Solidcore yet, I think I would really enjoy it," Hailey Nussbaum '20 said. "I like how they recognize that not everyone is great at working out."
Solidcore is thrilled to have anyone and everyone in Westport come and challenge themselves to workout and have a good time.
"When you're in the studio you're a part of a team. This teammate environment in the studio makes for a stronger community outside the studio,"Jung said. "We really are a family here at Solidcore."
Carly Kaplowitz '21 is always looking to seek out new experiences. Whether it's in the summer at her camp or in different classrooms at Staples, Kaplowitz...

The last two decades have witnessed a great commercial success of lithium ion battery (LIB) in portable electronic devices and electric vehicles. However, current LIB technology cannot meet the rapid increasing demand from information technology and vehicle industry, primarily due to limited capacity and serious safety concern of graphite anode. Discovering new anode material with high capacity and good reliability has been a central issue. Because of its high theoretical capacity and excellent operation safety, silicon (Si) has attracted considerable attention as a promising anode to replace graphite. Nevertheless, dramatic volumetric change during lithiation/delithiation process causes severe pulverization and disconnection of electrode from current collector, leading to a fast capacity loss. To tackle these critical problems, a new concept to achieve facile, cost effective, green, and scalable synthesis of Si/carbon nanohybrid anode is proposed. By reducing Si particle size to the range below 10 nm and homogeneous embedding of Si nanoparticles into carbon buffer matrix, the volume change and associated stress can be effectively accommodated to improve the cyclability of the LIBs. Instead of conventional aqueous and/or organic solvents, three industrially widely used thermosetting resin monomer systems including vinyl ester resin, epoxy resin, and phenolic-formaldehyde resin are utilized as both solvent and carbon source. Cost effective silane coupling agents bearing appropriate chemical functional groups act as the precursor of Si and cross-linking agents of the thermosetting polymers. Ultra small Si nanoparticles are in situ formed and homogeneously embedded in the in situ formed porous carbon matrix by sequential photo/thermally induced polymerization, calcination in inert atmosphere, Magnesium thermal reduction, and KOH activation. The mechanism of control over morphology, crystallinity, dispersion, and composition of the Si/C nanohybrid anode and correspondin

Rodeo and Formula 707 — for the Melvins, It's a Family Affair
The Melvins of the Dusty Spur Ranch in Keller, TX include Katlyn, a seventh-grader; high school freshman, Marilyn; and Paul, a junior. The siblings have been involved in the sport of rodeo since about age 8 or 9, when they participated in youth rodeos. These days, as the young athletes hone their skills and excel in their respective events, the family has made Formula 707…
An Amazing Hoof Recovery Story
If you recall the 70s song "The Cisco Kid", you know the lyrics say he "was a friend of mine." It also references a horse "made of steel." Well the equine hero of this story also goes by the name of Cisco. He's no kid anymore, but he just might be strong as steel by now. And he's certainly a very good friend of one grateful lady.
Weight Gain™ Keeps Barrel Horse in Competitive Condition
Not all horses that can use extra calories are rescue animals — some horses just need a little help coming off winter pasture or to put on some weight to get into top condition. Becky Rossenbach's horse, Heza New Lena, a.k.a. Badger, was one of those. Becky and her husband, Kevin, bought 14-year-old Badger four years ago for Becky's hobby of competing in jackpot barrel races.
"Seedy Toe" Almost Sidelines Old Friend and Hard Worker
Founder — it's a word that strikes fear in the heart of every horseman and woman. As owner Rachel Joost tells it, 14-year-old Jerry, at 1,400 pounds and 16 hands tall, is a dominant gelding — the kind of guy who'll steal the grain or hay from the very mouth of his neighbor at the feed trough. When Jerry foundered, they took him to the University of California, Davis.
Glo-N-Go Leads to a Winning Season
Although Lorie Diodosio grew up in the city of Pueblo, Colorado, on weekends she would go with her parents to their family farm outside of Fowler. Having a country connection gave her an early start in barrel racing and showing horses, and when asked how long she'd been at it, she said, "Before I can even remember."
WPRA All-Around World Champion is 100% Navajo, 100% Winner
Native American Debbie Robbins has been roping since she was about six years old. Growing up in Dilcon, Ariz., riding alongside her dad and cousins, she picked up — and perfected — the skill that would one day be her life. No wonder she's a past winner of the Women's Professional Rodeo Association (WPRA) All-Around World Champion title. "Being a WPRA winner is partly because…
Rodeo Family Discovers the Real Benefit of GastroMx is Winning
Some families rodeo a little. Some families rodeo a lot. And some families eat, drink, sleep and live rodeo. "We've been going every weekend since the end of March," Vickie Segelke said in an interview on their way home from the last Colorado High School Rodeo in Craig, Colorado, at the end of September. "If it's not high school rodeo, it's junior rodeo or something else.
Laura Lambert is all About Results
She has to be. With a stake in Colorado Springs–based Lambert Performance Horses, she rides to win. And she's certain that Formula 707 plays a vital role in making that happen, every time she goes through the gate.As a competitive barrel racer, Laura knows a thing or two about horses.
