Boot using arch iso live cd or usb
if you want to install from usb then follow as below
1. download latest arch as iso
2. if you are using windows then download usbwriter
if you are using linux then use dd
dd if=image.iso of=/dev/sdb bs=4M
After boot go as follow
if you want windows as dual boot then you should use fdisk or cfdisk (it creates MBR supported by windows as GPT is not supported by windows)
if you just want only linux then use cgdisk (it creates GPT tables)
I have windows 7 as dual boot so i go with cfdisk
create root and home partition if don't have already
I have created two partitions here /dev/sda2 for root and /dev/sda3 for home
Formating partitions (creating file system)
# mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda2 # mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda3
It is good idea to create swap drive as well for swap operations and hibernation support
create 2gb of partition i.e /dev/sda4
create swap on /dev/sda4
# mkswap /dev/sda4 # swapon /dev/sda4
Now mount your partitionis
# mount /dev/sda2 /mnt
I am going to create home directory in root and will mount dev/sda3 to it
# mkdir /mnt/home # mount /dev/sda3 /mnt/home
Select a mirror list:
During installation linux will download files from internet, it is recommended that you select nearest mirror to get fast downloads
# nano /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
find your country or nearest one in file by pressing ctrl+w and type your country name and hit enter
copy whole line using alt+6 and now go to start by using pageup button or home button on keyboard
paste that line on the top of file using ctrl+u
now save the file using ctrl+x and enter y to save
Installing base arch linux
# pacstrap -i /mnt base
if you want to build packages then you should need
# pacstrap -i /mnt base base-devel
Generate an fstab
linux needs to store partitions and mount information for future use to auto mount drives
lets generate that configuration file
# genfstab -U -p /mnt >>/mnt/etc/fstab
to make sure file has been create correctly please use following
# nano /mnt/etc/fstab
Enter to new arch linux environment
# arch-chroot /mnt
Set your locale
edit locales file
# nano /etc/locale.gen
and uncomment your locale
I uncomment en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8 for english
Generate the locale(s) specified in /etc/locale.gen:
# locale-gen
Create the /etc/locale.conf file substituting your chosen locale:
# echo LANG=en_US.UTF-8 >/etc/locale.conf
Export substituting your chosen locale:
# export LANG=en_US.UTF-8
Time zone
Available time zones and subzones can be found in the /usr/share/zoneinfo/Zone/SubZone directories.
To view the available zones, check the directory /usr/share/zoneinfo/:
# ls /usr/share/zoneinfo/
Similarly, you can check the contents of directories belonging to a subzone:
# ls /usr/share/zoneinfo/Asia
Create a symbolic link /etc/localtime to your subzone file /usr/share/zoneinfo/Zone/SubZone using this command:
# ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/Zone/SubZone /etc/localtime
# ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/Asia/Karachi /etc/localtime
Hardware clock
Set the hardware clock mode uniformly between your operating systems. Otherwise, they may overwrite the hardware clock and cause time shifts.
# hwclock --systohc --utc
Set the hostname of your computer (e.g. arch):
# echo arch >/etc/hostname
Configure your net work
If you prefer wifi:
# pacman -S iw wpa_supplicant dialog wpa_actiond # wifi-menu # systemctl enable netctl-auto@interface_name.service
If you prefer lan then do following
# systemctl enable dhcpcd@interface_name.service example: # systemctl enable email@example.com
To find your interface name you can use either
# ip link or # ls /sys/class/net
You will see your device name as some thing like "enp38s0"
Finishing base installation
Set the root password with:
# passwd
Now it's time to create a user for the system and also add some groups to it.
So run the following command and replace 'tofeeq' with your user-name.
# useradd -m -g users -G wheel,storage,power -s /bin/bash tofeeq
add a password to tofeeq
# passwd tofeeq
Now we have to allow this use to do administrative jobs as sudo so let's install sudo.
# pacman -S sudo
Once that is done, we will now allow the users in wheel group to be able to performance administrative tasks with sudo. Run the following command to edit the sudoers:
# EDITOR=nano visudo
It will open the sudoers file where you have to uncomment this line:
%wheel ALL=(ALL) ALL
I will also recommend installing bash-completion so that Arch auto-complete commands of names of packages:
# pacman -S bash-completion
Install boot loader
Install the grub package and then run grub-install to install the bootloader:
# pacman -S grub # grub-install --target=i386-pc --recheck /dev/sda # pacman -S os-prober # grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg # exit # reboot
Installing display managers
install xserver
# pacman -S xorg-server xorg-server-utils xorg-xinit
Now we will also install mesa for 3D support:
# pacman -S mesa
It's time to install video drivers. I am using intel graphic card so would be using
# sudo pacman -S xf86-video-intel intel-dri
If you are not using intel then you might explore
If you are using a laptop you need to install the drivers for input devices like touch-pad
# pacman -S xf86-input-synaptics
# pacman -S xorg-twm xorg-xclock xterm
Install Desktop Environment
# sudo pacman -S kde # systemctl enable kdm.service # systemctl start kdm.service
install network managers
# pacman -S kdeplasma-applets-plasma-nm
Audio management
# pacman -S alsa-utils pulseaudio kdemultimedia-kmix
Thats it start enjoy your arch linux !!!

Corpse Party to Hit PSN November 22nd
Like horror, high school stories and JRPGs? Need something to spend time playing on the subways, while simultaneously guaranteeing yourself all the elbow room you want? Then you don't want to pass this up.
XSEED games will be releasing Corpse Party on the PlayStation Network on November 22, and for only $19.99 you don't want to miss it.
Players follow the story of a group of high school kiddies stuck in an elementary school with a bloody past. Harassed by ghosts, the player must keep their wits about them while trying to make the right decisions in order to gain the true endings of each chapter. In a gimmick rather reminiscent of the old "Choose You Own Adventure" novels I was obsessed with in middle school, only by making the right choices can you progress through the story.
The game's hand-drawn art and retro 2-D graphics, in coordination with the 3D audio only add to the creepy atmosphere. This is a game you don't want to miss.

Pickering Pick
Sam "Pickering" Pick is one of those artists that I cannot quite figure out why he isn't famous. The Sacramento, CA based singer/songwriter has released seven albums of some of the most beautiful, relaxing acoustic folk music I have ever heard. He brings to mind a slightly less sugar-coated Joshua Radin with his soothing, perfect rainy day music. All of his albums are available for download at his website. Luckily he is currently working on a new album, entitled "Tiger Balm," to be released in late June on Yer Bird Records. We at the Galley could not be more excited! Check out Pickering Pick. You won't regret it!

text: Lessons Learned About Posted on April 11, 2020 by mr-review.info No Comments The Importance Of Using An Experienced House Appraiser One vital element when it comes to buying and selling a property is to get the right value. You cannot inspect a home and say it is worth a thousand dollars. When buying or selling, do the appraisal, which is considered unbiased and independent assessment of how much the property stands. The appraisal must be conducted by a certified and licensed professional. When you get the house appraiser Vermont today, you remain assured of the correct property value. If you have to buy a house using bank financing, the one thing you must have is the appraisal. Otherwise, the bank will never give money to purchase the management won't know the correct value of the property. Apart from the above, other reasons make people get appraiser. Selling the house Many homeowners consider selling their property to people who are in need. The seller can have the pre-listing appraisal done, and this will get a better sense of how much one needs to pay. By doing this task before selling, you determine the real value and asking price. The seller will increase the likelihood of selling the home faster. Refinancing the house Many people took a mortgage to buy the current unit. A time comes when the client wants to replace the loan with a new one, and this demands that they do the refinancing. After paying the loan for years, the home value changes. Because of changes, the new lender needs an appraisal to justify the new amount. In most cases, the property value increases, and it becomes a part of refinancing. Tax assessment appeals The states will calculate the property taxes based on the value of the units. When the home value listed on the tax bills seem too big, and the current market values for the home in that area has gone down, it will be time to appeal. You will get the independent appraiser who will do the assessment and point to the current value. This value will now be used by the state to calculate the new taxes. Getting other loans You are not only taking the house loan, but you can also use your house as collateral. If you go for any loan with the property as security, you will have the independent appraisal done. The financier wants to get the real property value before it gives the money. The home appraisals are beneficial to home buyers and sellers. If you do this exercise, it means getting the right company to do the task. When you hire Champlain Valley Appraisal Services, PLLC, you get the job done to standards. If you hire this appraiser to do the work, many benefits come your way. First, the client will start saving money monthly by removing the PMI. The clients who do this task through the experts will benefit from getting better loan terms. The property used as collateral has a fair market value, and you can use this to bargain for the loans. The home appraiser is neutral and will give fair value according to the market.

Humidity is often treated as a kind of modifier to whether a warm day is miserable or extra miserable. How many times in your life have you heard some variation of the phrase "at least it's a dry heat?" Yeah, we hate it too. The subject of humidity is a little more complicated than that, though. Humidity imbalances can actually cause a number of negative effects if they go unchecked. Let's take a look at what can happen if the humidity levels in your home are allowed to get out of control, and what you can do to keep them balanced. (more…)

JD Wetherspoon has launched a plant-based burger in nearly 900 pubs across the UK after a successful kitchen trial involving several of its sites.
The pub chain has teamed up with The Meatless Farm Co, a Leeds-based supplier of meat alternatives, to bring the product into its locations.
The burgers will be fully branded on menu and available in 877 outlets, almost the entire estate.
The new menu addition will allow consumers to make the swap from red meat to plant-based easily, without comprising on taste or texture.
As the plant-based industry continues to grow rapidly, restaurants and pubs are turning to meat-alternatives to bolster the menu and add real and varied choices for those looking to reduce meat consumption, rather than just having a single veggie or vegan option.
Oliver Addis, food development manager at JD Wetherspoon, explained: "We were looking for a plant-based burger that could deliver on taste and texture and we found that in The Meatless Farm Co. The British company is really driving the UK's plant-based based movement and we're confident customers are going to enjoy this new offering within our pubs."
The Meatless Farm Co spent over two years blending, researching, experimenting and trialling different recipes and ingredients to create its range, which also includes sausages and mince.
It claims its investment has allowed it to become a serious contender in the global plant-based market, alongside US groups Impossible Foods and Beyond Burger.
Founder Morten Toft Bech said: "It's not about these polarising views between 'vegan' and 'meat-eater' anymore, it's about balance and everyone working together to reduce their red meat intake as we know it's fundamentally better for our planet and health. To partner with a pub giant such as JD Wetherspoon is testament to the fact that plant-based is well and truly mainstream."
Marston's is first pub chain to serve up 'bleeding' meatless burger

KUALA LUMPUR (Jan 24): The FBM KLCI climbed 9.38 points or 0.6% on a stronger ringgit against a weakening U.S. dollar, amid higher crude oil prices.
At 5pm, the KLCI closed at its intraday high at 1,680.69 points. The ringgit strengthened to 4.4353 against the U.S. dollar at 5:36pm.
Reuters reported the dollar struggled in Asia on Tuesday, as U.S. President Donald Trump's focus on protectionism ahead of fiscal stimulus, fuelled suspicions his administration might be content to gain a competitive advantage through a weaker currency.
It was reported oil prices rose on Tuesday, on evidence the global market was tightening, as lower production by the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and other exporters drained stocks, although an increase in drilling in the U.S. could keep a lid on prices. Benchmark Brent crude was up 40 cents at US$55.63 a barrel by 0840 GMT. U.S. light crude was 40 cents higher at to US$53.15.
In Malaysia, Malacca Securities Sdn Bhd analyst Kenneth Leong told theedgemarkets.com that recent developments relating to OPEC's oil production cut agreement, along with the impact of a weakening U.S. dollar, were largely encouraging for the local market.
Leong also noted gains in banking shares like CIMB Group Holdings Bhd. CIMB added four sen to RM4.92 to become Bursa Malaysia's fourth most-active stock.
"We can see that there is buying support in both selective and heavyweight banking index," he said.
Across Bursa Malaysia, 1.56 billion shares, worth RM2.03 billion, were traded. There were 416 gainers and 353 decliners.

'BlacKkKlansman' Star John David Washington on Working With Spike Lee and Those '70s Costumes [Interview]
Posted on Wednesday, August 15th, 2018 by Joi Childs
John David Washington was just a shocked as you were when he learned about the story of a Black cop infiltrating the KKK. The actor is staring in BlacKkKlansman, directed by Spike Lee, which tells this true story from Ron's Stallsworth book of the same name. Washington's energy is palpable, and he brings that energy into his role as the Colorado Springs cop who takes the fight against racism to an almost unbelievable level.
Here, we chatted about working with Spike Lee, the film festival circuit, and keeping that same energy when talking to anyone.
When you read this the story and the script was there a moment of disbelief?
Well, at first I got a hold of the book. I got to read his book and read his words and his perspective, which really helped. But then also then confused me some more like, "I can't believe it. How did he…" I was like still skeptical, like I needed to talk to this man, I needed to look him in the eye or something. you know what I mean? But it was an incredible story based off of the book, and then I did a little bit of research before meeting him with these interviews that he had out. As I started just think about it more and more and just going back and back to the book, I was like, "Wow, this is incredible." Again, that gut reaction always stayed though, it was consistent, and it was constant and that I can't believe he did this.
So then when we got the script I loved how it stayed true for the most part to what happened, and so it made it much more fluid, the process to tell the story and we didn't have to go too far left or right, because the ridiculousness is all in the truth. You know what I mean? And that could be hard to do, some artists might say, "Well, we need to manipulate and make it a little more for the fan." Like, no, we don't have to. It's so there, it's such a unique American story. So for that I was just super attracted to it. And obviously this story couldn't be done by anybody else I believe, between Jordan Peele and Spike Lee running this story, I don't know if I wouldn't have wanted to be involved.
The story is so absurd, and there's a certain artistic license that Spike has in his films that really leans into the oddity, so it made sense why he would direct. How was it working with him, with his specific directing style?
This is really his background. This story is like tailored and made for him. Somebody asked me before, "John, what would you categorize it in?" I know what I wouldn't, and it's not a comedy, right? There's humor in it but it's not a comedy. But Spike Lee knows how to…It's right up his alley.
I mean, it's like hearing your hero, this legend say, "Cut and action." It was so inspiring to see how happy he was and how excited he was about doing this film throughout the process. I mean, he loves process. He doesn't skip any steps; you know what I mean? Now there's a certain pace you got to work with him and be able to freestyle when acting when you have to, which I love, that also means if you have license to freestyle that means you had to do your job and do your research and do your due diligence before you can earn those sort of choices to make that he wants you to make, to use your instinct. You got to earn all that. So it was just the most freeing collaborative environment I've ever been able to work in. And I feel like it brought out my best.
One of the themes that I saw from this film was, in a way, Ron Stallworth codes witches to the extreme, because your character has to imitate a white man in order for you to infiltrate that local chapter of the KKK in Colorado Springs. Did you have an experience where you had to code switch or toggle through two different worlds in order for you to find some success?
[That's how Ron] talked, like as far as like his cadence. I don't think, I don't know if he changed it. You know what I mean? There was some language he had to use; it was a hate language that had to get him in to infiltrate the Klan. I mean, I have a whole bunch of experiences. I went to private school; I went to a historically black college. I mean, my family, half of my family's from North Carolina, I spent a whole bunch of summers and my springs there, so what am I supposed to sound like? That's one of my favorite lines of the film is, "What does a black man talk like?" I love that line, because I guess I could talk a whole bunch of different ways, just based off of my experiences, what my realities are. So I understand to an extent where you want to be proper, I guess or like professional maybe is the word. There's a professional way of speaking, but I don't necessarily want to say I have a white voice. I don't believe that personally.
One thing I noticed is you've had a large festival run this year, with this film at Cannes, and Monsters and Men and Monster at Sundance. What's one thing that you love about doing the festival circuit and what's one thing that you're not a fan of?
What I love is the celebration of cinema, and [going] to the people. Just getting your movie there, just being in there, a celebration of the hard work. Everybody knows how hard it is to get a film made, pre-production and then the shooting and the post-production, so just to be in those elements of such a joyous occasion and of the celebration of artistic expression. Positive feelings and energy, and I didn't feel personally that any hate from anybody, everybody was supporting each other, equally, and I love that.
I really have no complaints. I mean, it's maybe if I get used to them, if I get to get keep going back to have at this point, but being my first time it was amazing. I mean, this is where you want to be, this is where you want to be able to show your films to and celebrate with people that feel the same way you do and they're just as passionate about the art as you are.
Monsters and Men is going to TIFF, are you going to that too as well?
You bet I will.
Talking about the great 70's fashion, how much did that help you get acclimated into the role of Ron?
It was huge, it was so instrumental. I mean, Marci [Rodgers] just killed it as the costume designer and she was having a lot of fun with it too, you could tell. What I loved, it didn't feel like we're playing just 70's dress up. This feels so authentic, and it made me just warp right into the character even more so every time I put them clothes on and those itchy turtlenecks. I was like, "Yeah, I'm walking different afterwards."
And it was great too, I mean, my playlists, I didn't listen to any hip-hop or R&B for like three months. Like, "Have you heard the new …" "No, I haven't heard it." You know what I mean? Because I was in such 70's, late-60's mode, and it just it helped, it made it easier. I didn't have to turn it on, I was just living it, it was great.
Last question, since this is your first leading role: having the experience of seeing your face on a billboard or on a poster, like how is that moment?
I can't believe it. I don't have the words. I see it and I kind of freak out, I can't believe that's me up there. But then I get a strong sense of pride, because all the memories and the emotions come out of what we did to make this film and how everybody's so good. You're going to see some great performance from all these actors and actresses and I have to say that make it so, then I become proud to be able to be a part of this team.

The Inevitability of the Singular 'They'
The singular 'they' has been a hot topic of late. Last month the Washington Post style guide threw in the towel and accepted it, however tentatively. Then the American Dialect Society voted it the Word of the Year. Then it really hit the big time, being discussed here in last week's Linky Friday post.
People have been using and promoting and condemning and generally bickering about the construction for years, but something is different now. The expansion of the usage has entered its late phase. There are three related usages that are normally combined in the discussion: (1) when the antecedent is syntactically singular but semantically plural; (2) when the antecedent is unambiguously singular, but not of a particular, definite individual (or one of unknown sex); and (3) when the antecedent is a definite individual of known sex. The first two usage are old, established features of English grammar, long predating any complaints raised about them. The third one is new.
In usage (1) the antecedent typically is an indefinite pronoun such as "everyone" or a noun modified an adjective such as "every":
(1a) Every student took their seat.
"Every student" is syntactically singular, but usually refers to multiple students, giving it a plural feel. A sentence such as (1a) is unremarkable, and usually goes unnoticed except when a grammar peever is looking to make trouble. The grammar-peever's approved version of this is
(1b) Every student took his seat.
Even apart from the issue of a mixed-sex classroom, this has the problem that we wonder whose seat it is they took, and didn't it get awfully crowded with all those students in it? This leads frequently to the advice to recast the sentence to avoid the issue, often by making the antecedent plural:
(1c) All of the students took their seats.
This often works well enough. (1c) is clear and means the same thing, and is only slightly clunky. It doesn't always work so well, but that isn't really the point. Version 1a is perfectly natural English. The peevers are making trouble, and appeasing them offers no payoff other than shutting them up briefly.
Back before grammar peeving became trendy, this construction was used routinely by the best writers. Chaucer is the earliest known to have used it, and there are innumerable examples in the King James Bible. Here are a couple:
And the children of Israel did according to all that the LORD commanded Moses: so they pitched by their standards, and so they set forward, every one after their families, according to the house of their fathers. Numbers 2:34.
Let nothing bee done through strife, or vaine glory, but in lowlinesse of minde let each esteeme other better then themselues. Philemon 2:3.
Jane Austen used this constantly. This example is from late in Pride and Prejudice, when Elizabeth Bennet tells Mr. Darcy
To be sure, you knew no actual good of me — but nobody thinks of that when they fall in love.
And so on. This is standard English and has been since before Modern English existed.
I suspect, but cannot prove, that the second usage, with a singular but indefinite personal antecedent, derives from the first. The entry point for the first form is that a word like "everyone" feels plural, regardless of its syntactic number. Words like "every" also have an indefinite feel to them. When we talk about "every student" we might technically be discussing a discrete, finite set of known individuals, but step into that classroom and it feels like a mob of indistinct humanity. This sense of indefiniteness leads to the singular "they" being extended to an unambiguously singular but indefinite construction:
(2a) When I am introduced to someone new, I greet them.
The peever-approved form is
(2b) When I am introduced to someone new, I greet him.
This has the problem that "him" is, in other uses, specifically masculine. Presumably the speaker is occasionally introduced to women, and greets them, too. The claim is that "him" is used here in an extended, gender-neutral sense. This is implausible on its face, but even stipulating to the claim, it is an extension of the pronoun beyond its traditional grammatical limits–just like singular "they." The strategies for avoiding this are either to use the old tactic of recasting the sentence in the plural:
(2c) When I am introduced to new people, I greet them.
or the newer, and awkward, tactic of an explicitly inclusive construction such as
(2d) When I am introduced to someone new, I greet him or her.
An important point that these strategies obscure is that this construction originally had nothing to do with gender inclusiveness. It is nearly as old as first form, and its early uses make clear that political correctness had nothing to do with it. From the King James Bible:
So likewise shall my heauenly Father doe also vnto you, if yee from your hearts forgiue not euery one his brother their trespasses. Matthew 18:35
The antecedent "his brother" is about as singular and as gender-specific as antecedents get, but it is indefinite: it isn't discussion Fred's brother Bob, but your brother, whoever you and he are. Hence it gets the "their trespasses."
Here is another one, this time from Jane Austen's Emma. Emma is speaking to Mr. Knightley, discussing Harriet Smith:
Who is in love with her? Who makes you their confidant?
It would be a racier novel were we to suppose that "their" was used to avoid being gender-specific. Sadly, this interpretation is not supported by the text. This singular "they" construction was used because the antecedent is indefinite, not because the antecedent is of unknown of flexible gender.
This is an important point to make. Critics of the singular 'they' sometimes see instances such as this and decry them as political correctness gone mad. They miss the point. Gender inclusivity is a feature of the construction, but not its origin or necessarily the reason it is used: it is used because it feels natural to many users of Standard English. Argue that this usage is simply a sop to the feminists and you have to explain why the King James translators felt the need.
Finally we get to the third version, when the antecedent is a definite person of known gender. This is new. Standard discussions from just a few years ago of the singular 'they' often included discussions of how it was not used in this way. Those crazy kids nowadays have extended the singular 'they.' The American Dialect Society in its press release states "They was recognized by the society for its emerging use as a pronoun to refer to a known person…" Just so. I don't know of any formal investigation of the phenomenon, but anecdotally, the younger set (teens and twenties) use this form unconsciously. Here is an example I have seen:
(3) There was this boy in class, and they wouldn't stop talking, so the teacher sent them to the office.
There is still some room here. Compare it with
(3a) Joe wouldn't stop talking, so the teacher sent them to the office.
I'm not sure if those crazy kids are taking it quite that far, but that is the obvious direction things are heading.
This brings me to my one point of disagreement with the ADS press release. The rest of that sentence was "…often as a conscious choice by a person rejecting the traditional gender binary of he and she." The ADS is identifying modern understandings of gender as the point of the construction. This makes the same mistake as the peevers who complain about usage (2) being crazily PC when the gender is known. The point of usage (3) is not to accommodate situations were neither "he" nor "she" really apply. This accommodation is a feature of the usage, but in the real world people don't stop and think about such things when choosing a pronoun. This is semi-automatic stuff that, the vast majority of the time, you don't think about at all. People use this construction because, for them, this is an unremarkable feature of their idiolect.
I weaseled there about whether this is a feature of Standard English, but if it ain't, it will be sooner rather than later. Hence the title of this piece. This is inevitable. All those creative proposed pronouns never had a chance. This might seem counter-intuitive. We adopt new words all the time. How did we ever get by without schadenfreude? How would a Democrat talk about the Trump campaign without it? The Anglophone world's collective reaction upon discovering this Teutonic gem was celebration: we hadn't realized that we needed this word, but in retrospect it filled a grievous gap in the language. So why not some new pronoun? The difference is that nouns and verbs and so forth are content words, and these are open sets. New nouns enter the language all the time, and old ones drop out. Pronouns and prepositions and the like are function words, and are closed sets. It is possible to sit down and make a list of every pronoun, and it isn't even all that long a list. Function words only change slowly, and not due to some blog item that everyone thinks is brilliant. It is that semi-automatic stuff that you don't usually think about. It is much easier to adapt an existing pronoun than to introduce a new once: hence the singular 'they.'
For those with a lingering distaste for the singular 'they,' the same thing happened with the singular 'you.' "You" is the traditional second person plural pronoun. The singular form was "thou" (and its inflected forms). "You" got extended to niceties of social rank, as with the royal "We." (Does the Queen use that still? Heck if I know. Perhaps on very formal occasions.) Use of "thou" gradually grew restricted to intimates and social inferiors, like the French "vous" and "tu" (which, not coincidentally, are cognates with "you" and "thou".) Eventually it dropped out of use entirely from Standard English (though it survives in some dialects). People made much the same complaints as they do about singular 'they.' And yet we make do just fine. It is possible to come up with ambiguities that would be solved by using "thou," but in practice this isn't really a problem. So it will be with singular 'they.'

Recently, Associate Professor Zhenzhong Zeng from the School of Environmental Science and Engineering at Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech), and his collaborators have made important progress in global change regarding terrestrial windspeed changes that were published in Nature Climate Change(IF= 25.170).
According to the global surface observation network, global wind speeds over land has been falling steadily since 1960, known as "global terrestrial stilling". Global terrestrial stilling will seriously affect the efficiency of wind turbine power generation. Previous studies have suggested that global wind speed will continue to decline in the coming decades.
In their paper, Zeng and his collaborators discovered for the first time that after decades of global terrestrial stilling, global wind speeds over land reversed in around 2010, presenting a sharp upward trend, and recovered to levels around 1980 in a short span of eight years. The recent growth rate is three times the pre-2010 rate of decline, with North America, Europe and Asia showing the most marked changes.
The team also examined potential causes underlying global terrestrial stilling and its reversal. Previous studies had suggested a correlation with increased terrestrial roughness caused by urbanization and/or vegetation changes. However, Zeng et al. (2018 Environmental Research Letter) rejected the hypothesis of vegetation growth and change before analyzing the impact of urbanization and rejected this hypothesis. Zeng and his global collaborators have found that the variation in wind speed is determined mainly by driving forces associated with decadal variability of large-scale ocean/atmospheric circulations rather than increases in surface roughness.
If the present trend persists for at least another decade, power generated by wind turbines could increase by 37% by 2024, resulting in a +3% per decade increase of global-average capacity factor (mean power generated divided by rated peak power). This change is even larger than the projected change in wind power potential caused by climate change under multiple scenarios.
These research results are of great value to the global wind energy field, as they will be conducive to the development of the industry, developing wind energy into a major pillar of renewable energy. This paper provides a road map for further verification of the dynamic mechanisms, in order to improve the simulation of surface wind speeds according to IPCC climate models and weather models.

Work Step by Step
RECALL: A trinomial of the form $x^2+bx+c$ can be factored if there are integers $d$ and $e$ such that $c=de$ and $b=d+e$. The trinomial's factored form will be: $x^2+bx+c=(x+d)(x+e)$ The given trinomial has $b=-17$ and $c=16$. Note that $16=(-16)(-1)$ and $-17=(-16)+(-1)$. This means that $d=-16$ and $e=-1$ Thus, the factored form of the trinomial is: $=[x+(-16)] [x+(-1)] \\=(x-16)(x-1)$

Part two of our Winter Solstice story. In this tale I discover something quite lovely about the nature of trees. We had just finished at Thornborough Henge which had been a fascinating and enlightening experience. We wondered whether we would be able to top the day, but better was yet to come.
On our way to Thornborough we had taken quite a detour having misinterpreted some of the symbols on a new map application that I was using. This had meant that, even though we intended to go back to visit the church in Kirklington village, we had arrived back there even though we knew it was not the right way to get to Thornborough. We stopped and looked at each other. Something was clearly telling us that we needed to go back to Kirklington after Thornborough. Now we had finished at the henge it was a simple job to find Kirklington again – we knew all the roads well now!
In the centre of the village, standing in the arc of a long crescent sweep of the main village road, the church stood disproportionately dominant for such a small village. We were aware that the church's dedication was to Saint Michael, and for us this meant that we may be looking at some pinned earth energies, or an important node point on a crossing of energies.
We had no set agenda but the dowsing rods helped us with that. We each set about our usual routine – to find a place to start, and then to find something that might be of interest to us. Simple questions, but usually yielding interesting results, and so it was.
I was taken first to a gnarly old oak tree. This was my starting point, and I stood at its venerable base awed by its immensity. It seemed to be one of few such trees in the churchyard. I spent a while with it, trying to get into the right state of mind to talk to it. When I managed to do this the information coming back at me was that I should offer it loving energy. In return it emanated back at me what I can only describe as "kinship energy".
A merry dance then ensued. From the oak I asked to be taken to the "next place that I needed to be". The dowsing rods moved me from the aged oak to a nearby beech tree of equally grand stature and age. I connected to this tree in the same way as before, and now I felt kinship energy again. I realised that this was no kinship between the tree and me: this was kinship between the oak and the beech!
The dowsing rods were again employed and I was taken to another different tree – a slender elder tree. Same procedure, then on to an alder, a majestic and tall pine tree (where I picked up a beautiful cone about 5 inches long!), a larch, a small ash, then a yew tree clumped close to the entrance where I had started close to the old oak tree. I had been taken around the whole churchyard from the entrance and back again, following a feeling of kinship between the trees!
The final destination was a holly tree where a couple of small gravestones lurked with just enough dry seating between them to house a person. This holly space was where the dowsing rods said I should stop and meditate.
I noticed that there was some ivy growing close to the holly and in my head I sang "The Holly and The Ivy". It was the Winter Solstice after all!
European Holly was sacred to druids who associated it with the winter solstice, and for Romans, holly was considered the plant of Saturn.
European Holly has always traditionally had a strong association with Christmas. Henry VIII wrote a love song Green groweth the holly which alludes to holly and ivy resisting winter blasts and not changing their green hue 'So I am and ever hath been Unto my lady true'. (source: Wikipedia)
At each tree I have offered love energy and in return felt kinship energy flowing between the trees, and finally at the holly tree seat I begin to feel a part of that kinship ring. It is as though I needed to have completed the walk around each species of tree – to feel their connection – before I too could become part of that "kinship". Both tree and I are gateways between worlds. I feel their "hourglass" shape reaching up to the Upperworld of spirit, and descending deep into the Underworld of the dead and ancestral energies. Like the tree, I too am a pivotal point of connection – a portal between worlds, and a tool in the Middle Earth realm.
Offering To Michael
I opened my eyes and Kal was sitting in a window ledge opposite. He was smiling at me, so I asked what was amusing him, and he responded that the place I was sitting was the same place that he had been sitting at when I had been on the other side of the church, out of sight. We had passed each other circling the church – he going anti-clockwise and me going clockwise.
I had one last thing to ask about. I had a note from the beginning of the year that I had put into the calendar for the Winter Solstice. The note said that I had to relinquish the Michael Energy that I had been gifted at the start of the year. Michael's Church seemed the obvious place to do this, so I connected to the kinship ring of trees and asked them about the Michael Energy.
A figure of light – invisible yet vaguely perceived as though seeing ephemeral glass – this shape appeared to descend in front of me. The figure was vaguely human-like yet gleaming with light. I felt a shiver of excitement as the figure made me feel that I should keep the Michael energy. I would need it for the next year. The shining energy withdrew again.
But there was more. It was related to the kinship energy. I would need to create an item containing something that represented something of each of these trees, to craft something like a necklace. I would then need to offer this gift to friends and family in the spirit of kinship. Hmmm…. not my usual request, but again I was being stretched to work at the limits of my ability – such is the fabulous work that I do when following The Shining Path.
In this story I learned that there is an energetic connection of kinship between different species of trees. Next we would venture to Boroughbridge in search of our next Solstice surprise – The Devil's Arrows.

Bob Neill campaigns to make broadband 'not spots' a thing of the past
PUBLISHED: 09:51 26 October 2015 | UPDATED: 09:51 26 October 2015
The Bromley and Chislehurst MP wants to see strengthened coverage in the area
Bromley and Chislehurst MP Bob Neill is pushing for broadband speeds to be boosted in his borough, saying that though there has been good news recently he believes more can be done.
The MP made his comments following a debate on superfast broadband in which he called on government to host a 'not spot' summit. He urged for greater transparency on unused fibre infrastructure which would allow broadband internet providers to find places which have demand for high speed broadband which isn't being met.
Mr Neill said: "A frequent frustration that I share with many local residents is the difficulty a significant number of us face accessing superfast broadband at home. It may come as a surprise – or unfortunately, may not – to read that four of the lowest twelve constituencies for premises with superfast broadband in the country are in London. In short, it is something that undermines our reputation as a global city and damages businesses of all sizes.
"Progress is being made, and only last week BT announced that it would be extending fibre broadband to an additional 9,444 homes and businesses in the Borough over the next two years, taking BT's total coverage in Bromley to nearly 130,000 premises.
"This is fantastic news for everyone in Bromley and Chislehurst, but I believe there is still significant room for improvement. Please be assured that I will continue to push for a strengthened coverage in our area."

There's an infectious sense of new beginnings at the start of September, even if we don't have children or grandchildren of school age, most of us can remember the thrill and anticipation of a new academic year or starting at a new school. The shops in town are stocked with clothes and accessories for learning and we know that a change in the pace of life is coming as the school holidays draw to a close for many.
Our family has already had the privilege of a new start in this parish since we moved in a few months ago. We're so grateful to everyone from the town who has given us such a great welcome. Lots of things are new to us here and we're enjoying learning fresh things each day.
Living close to the Jewish retreat centre on Church Walks means that we're daily amongst people who have the courage and distinctiveness to wear special clothing as a sign of their faith. It may sometimes be controversial, but I think it's wonderful to see people wearing signs of their devotion. Just as school children wear the uniform of their school, so our Jewish neighbours (just like our Sikh and Muslim friends) remind us of the value of communicating loyalty to a relationship with God through outward signs of faith.
At the beginning of a new school year, there's an opportunity for all of us to make a new start in some way and witness to our commitment. Of course, growing in faith takes practice and often involves failure. Sometimes we need to completely change the way that we think or behave: I remember as a child struggling with maths and wanting new equipment every September. There were expensive maths sets you could buy in tins with a ruler, a protractor, set-squares and a compass. I used to think that if only I had these then somehow maths would be easier! It took years for me to learn that it was more important to work to understand the subject than to have the coolest accessories (and I'm not sure I ever really understood what a set-square was for.)
This summer our church community has already embraced new things. In addition to many great activities, one particular joy of the past month has been the daily pilgrim prayer at St Tudno's. Thanks to a whole variety of people who volunteered to lead this there's been a regular fresh heartbeat of prayer that has engaged many and been a wonderful source of hope and encouragement.
The practice of prayer is a great place to start if we are keen to renew our faith. Edith Stein – the German Jewish philosopher who converted to Christianity and who died in Auschwitz – spoke about this, recognising the wisdom of being gentle with ourselves as we try to learn new things. She recommended that each day "…when night comes, and you look back over the day and see how fragmentary everything has been and how much you planned that has gone undone and all the reasons you have to be embarrassed and ashamed just take everything exactly as it is, put it in God's hands and trust it to Him."
I look forward to continuing the learning journey in your company.
Yours in Christ

One of Australia's most senior businesswomen says WA's position as an economic powerhouse is a recent phenomenon and the State has barely started to make a net contribution to the nation's wealth.
Jillian Broadbent, a Reserve Bank board member and a non- executive director with ASX Ltd and Woolworths, suggested yesterday that WA had "for the first time" stopped being a supplicant State.
Speaking at a Perth business luncheon, Ms Broadbent, a former long-serving board member with Woodside Petroleum, said WA's success was tied to its endowment of natural resources.
She said the State's rise was fortunate and largely thanks to the unprecedented rise of the world's developing economies, which had huge demand for WA's mining products.
"The divergence in economic growth between the developed and developing countries has some parallels for us at the national level and an industry level," Ms Broadbent said.
"The changing global dynamics are seeping into the Australian economy and, in turn, into our individual States. Growth is now favouring the resources rich States - you're lucky to be one of them.
"For the first time since Federation, WA is making a contribution to the Federal fiscal Budget."
The comments by Ms Broadbent are a veiled rebuff to claims by the WA Government, led by Premier Colin Barnett, that WA is being ripped off by the GST carve-up and that the system has failed.
Ms Broadbent said renewable energy was critical to Australia's economic prospects.

Email Advice & Guidance
Secondary care departments (UHCW) can be emailed via the Advice & Guidance portal for advice on patient management or referral advice using a standard referral form that includes contact history, relevant medical history and records of recent investigations
The target for response is 2 days but most are processed within a week
Encrypted confidential advice will be received from secondary care consultants regarding:
- appropriate referral advice
- investigations, management & prescribing advice
- some non acute surgical conditions (eg chronic breast pain) could be managed in this way
Urgent Connect GP Liaison Pre referral advice
See GP Liaison / Urgent connect page follow link
Specialist Telephone Advice & Guidance (Consultant Connect) from December 2018 for Coventry & Rugby
Practices will be contacted individually about the roll out programme across Coventry & Rugby CCG
The service will start initially with Gastroenterology
North Warwickshire practices are already able to use this service for George Eliot Hospital
How it works
- GP calls the service using bespoke contact details whilst the patient is still with them to obtain Advice & Guidance from a local specialist.
- The call is put straight through to a "rota" of local specialty consultants in 80% of cases. GPs are advised to call again 10 minutes later if no answer.
- If a consultant on the rota does not answer the call, the call automatically loops through to the next consultant on the rota until the call is answered.
- The GP speaks with the consultant, who offers immediate Advice and Guidance, and helps decide the appropriate course of action for the patient.
- At the end of the call, the GP should rate the call outcome, for example "referral made" or "referral avoided" from the options offered.
- A recording of the call is stored in compliance with GDPR for patient and medico-legal purposes and can be accessed for attachment to NHS patient records.
- Consultant Connect has a full reporting suite, allowing instantaneous access to real time call statistics and referrals data.
- Commissioners can see how many calls have been made from which GPs to which consultants.
- Improving the patient experience (including time / cost / convenience)
- Removing the wait for a response to a written application as everything is experienced in real time
- Increasing clinician specialist knowledge through discussions with specialists
- Reduced time spent on administration
- Secondary care see a reduction in unnecessary referrals and workload
- Improved communication

On a Tuesday in August 2016, I found myself in the mountains praying
"Dear Lord— should I continue working? Will I ever write? Should I retire in the mountains or on the beach?"
On Wednesday, my prayer led me to a cabin in the mountains that I felt I couldn't purchase
because I had to sell my condo (and that process would take months).
A day later (Thursday)while driving down the mountains, I thanked the Lord for showing me the cabin,
but reminded Him my condo was not for sale yet -- so the cabin was not a realistic possibility.
I had no phone signal until I stopped at a restaurant in Vonore, Tennessee around 3 o'clock that afternoon.
As soon as I ordered, my phone rang.
It was the manager of my condominium complex asking if she could show my condo at noon the next day
[Even though it wasn't on the market]. I agreed, and on Friday, just three days after my prayer, my condo sold.
Thus,the Lord sent me a clear signal that it was time to enter a new adventure -- in a place that inspires writing.
On Writing "Strings – The Story of Hope"
Each morning after I settled into my North Carolina hideaway, I sat in my rocking chair facing the Lord's extraordinary work of nature.
I read the Bible, then I tried to be still. After all, that's one reason the Lord sent me to
an isolated retreat in the middle of the Pisgah National Forest.
One morning as I looked across the mountain ranges, I heard the Lord's voice:
"Your grandfather was born right over there."
In the next few days, I began my search for my grandfather's birthplace.
And in my search, trekking through one graveyard after another, I found the inspiration for "Strings - The Story of Hope".
It is loosely inspired by what I imagined during my mountain ventures --
the story of a 15-year-old girl who escapes her burning home only to encounter
traumatizing events that bind inescapable strings around her soul.
Almost There - How the Lord Continued to Carve An Inspirational Path
On April 5, 2019 en route to a photo shoot for my book jacket,
I returned to the Vonore restaurant where I received that life=changing call.
Driving there, I realized that that very location had an even more powerful meaning to my venture.
Dragging Canoe (1738-1792) is a primary character in my book. I had never heard of him until I began this writing journey.
Dragging Canoe was Chief of Mialaquo "Great Island Town" on the Little Tennessee River.
TVA's waters now cover that island. Vonore sits at the heart of that area.
On arriving at the location for the dust cover photo shoot, just south of Vonore, I took a quick photo of the sky.
Not until days later did I see the design of the clouds.
Amazingly, in the sky above the location, the Lord had revealed a cross and an "S" for "Strings".
So, I thank the Lord every day for his guidance every step of the way.
In June, 2019 I launched my debut novel "Strings - The Story of Hope".

Carnival sunrise. The worse ship ever
bjfitz0703 replied to Seeleyhs17's topic in Carnival Cruise LinesI agree. We too were on the Sunrise a few weeks back. We had a great time yet way too crowded. Reading this lengthy post and many like it about the Sunrise, many agree way too crowded. For sure will not sail on these "add cabins" Carnival ships again. I own CCL stock yet there are way too many better options at sea including Carnival ships that align to their design specs and not this debacle.
Infirmary - could be a movie
bjfitz0703 replied to bjfitz0703's topic in Carnival Cruise LinesI am the OP. Turns out my wife had a first aid kit yet the dumb husband/father (me) didn't know that! It was only like $1.50 for the band aid and ointment pack they gave us. Yet truly my son and I talk about that place even today! Seemed like we were in a movie of some kind. run away!
bjfitz0703 started following A couple questions for first time cruiser..., Infirmary - could be a movie, Does Royal still only want 10's on the Guest Survey? and and 3 others
Infirmary - could be a movie
bjfitz0703 posted a topic in Carnival Cruise LinesWas on the Sunrise a few weeks back and on the first sea day, my 16 year old son had cut his finger, so we went to the infirmary to get a band-aid. Mistake! My Lord one of the scariest places we have been. There was a young lady here with her parents who looked green. So sick. My son was like Dad did you see that girl? Also there was a boy in the back screaming at the top of his lungs. Screaming "what are you doing to me"? Like they were sawing his foot off. The "nurse" at the desk was something out of a movie. Felt like a horror movie. Had nightmares for days. We couldn't stop talking about it all week. Don't go there!
Drinks package
bjfitz0703 replied to lynnek's topic in Royal Caribbean InternationalShare. Makes the per drink cost go down.
Early Dining or Your Time?
bjfitz0703 replied to christieSF's topic in Carnival Cruise LinesHave done both. Now always late. Like normal life, you plan you day around family dinner time. Makes it simple. Much preferred. In this way no YTD nonsense. Understand some like YTD but not this guy. My $0.02 yet to each their own. However if stuck between early or YTD, I would pick YTD for sure.
Portside or Starboard?
bjfitz0703 replied to opensaysme's topic in Carnival Cruise LinesOff Sunrise a few weeks ago. GT was starboard and in Bermuda it was port.
This nonsense is real and makes the survey results less useful. Survey design is a science and as someone else posted a 9 and 10 are pretty much the same if you study the science. I have cruised a lot. Some on RCCL and some on other lines. No cruise has ever earned 10s across the board. Not sure they should anyway otherwise there is nothing they can improve upon which we all know is nonsense. The whole point is to identify what is working and what needs improvement. For sure we have had super waiters and outstanding cabin stewards while others while decent aren't the same. Same with about everything else.
beverage program
bjfitz0703 replied to retired2soon's topic in Carnival Cruise Linesmake sure you share
wifi plans
bjfitz0703 replied to fuzzy1010's topic in Carnival Cruise LinesJust got off the Sunrise a few weeks ago. We had the middle plan and it worked really well. USed it for work and checking email and normal phone apps etc. Recommend it. Multiple devices can use it yet only one at a time. Easy to change devices. Takes just a few seconds to switch between devices.
Carnival sunrise. The worse ship ever
bjfitz0703 replied to Seeleyhs17's topic in Carnival Cruise LinesAgree. Red Frog is great!
More questions..
bjfitz0703 replied to Sersee's topic in Carnival Cruise LinesWe try and board after cabins are open so in this way you can go and dump your stuff and get set up a bit. When you do this you usually get on the ship quite quickly too. Also we always eat prior to getting on the ship as Lido is a zoo. Then we eat again too when less crowded. Lots of options. Each ship has its less crowded boarding eating places few seem to know about. We just did Sunrise and few knew you could get included food in the Italian restaurant while boarding. Also few people at Guy's bbq place at embarkation. All the above really makes the embarkation much more enjoyable. Can't answer the other Qs as never had connecting cabins nor have we been on the Breeze.
Why such a big difference in price?
bjfitz0703 replied to no1volman's topic in Royal Caribbean InternationalFair enough yet many would not agree in all aspects. Think most would agree royal typcially has better ships and entertainment. It should given its advanced price point. Carnival has better comedy shows. Food and service feel roughly the same. Having sailed both and reading these boards that seems to be about the typical summary. I say Carnival is like a Marriott Courtyard and Royal like a Marriott. Celebrity and Princess/HAL more like a Hyatt or Westin. Never sailed a luxury line like Seabourn or Crystal yet guessing they are like a Ritz. Never sailed NCL yet ships look nicer yet like Royal seems to up charge on food and other fun options. Carnival has more things included and less up sell relative to "on board options". Anyway good to listen to folks and learn from their experiences and opinions, so thanks!
Why such a big difference in price?
bjfitz0703 replied to no1volman's topic in Royal Caribbean InternationalI sail both. As folks have said, simple economics drives the differences. Royal ships cost more to build and operate and they have to recover that cost thus the price difference. Outside the ship and the shows, they are more similar than different. If you want to spend even more coin go on Disney. Also Royal's business model is designed to get folks to spend more on the ship (more pay restaurants, i.e., Guy's burgers on Carnival is included and very good as opposed to Johnny) or its own "land" to accelerate revenue vis-a-vis Perfect Day at Coco Cay. Perfect will end up being a cash cow for Royal. I wonder if Carnival will change Half Moon Cay (or similar) in response to generate more cash flow. If the price was the same, I would likely choose Royal for a similar itinerary. Recently for a similar itinerary in a similar cabin type, Royal had 7 day and Carnival had 8 days. Factoring that in, Royal was more for the 7 vs 8 day and normalizing the costs, it was about 20-25% more per day on Royal. As such we chose Carnival. That savings more than covered what we spent on the ship for excursions and booze, etc. I did however feel that the Sunrise was crowded. I think one approach is to set a cruise length, a budget, and then decide room type, ship etc based on that budget. To me whether I enjoy it or not is more up to me than anyone or anything. Hope that helps.
A couple questions for first time cruiser...
bjfitz0703 replied to jlynchtx's topic in Carnival Cruise LinesJust did a Carnival cruise and given these boards I expected lots of inappropriate dress on Elegant night. Rather almost all folks looked great. It was nice to see. Ladies looked great and most men wore at least a jacket. Some who were a little more casual also looked nice albeit a little out of place compared to others yet their choice. I will say though that some folks on non-elegant night in the MDR were not dressed in accordance with the code: gym clothes, hats on men, etc. Don't really care....Tony S might though

Take a look inside this amazing 'Harry Potter' den shortlisted for Shed of the Year
PUBLISHED: 13:59 19 August 2018 | UPDATED: 14:01 19 August 2018
It was an idea that started as a doodle in a notebook and ended up as a shed full of wonder.
And now Craig Clavin's Harry Potter inspired outbuilding that resembles a cottage is in the running to be crowned Shed of the Year.
Built as a playhouse for his four year-old twin sons, Hugo and Ralph, the 33-year-old pipeline engineer from Fleggburgh, near Great Yarmouth, first had the idea for the project in 2017.
He said: "I've always been messing around with building things and DIY but as for sheds this is my first. I just wanted to build something a little bit enchanted."
Using mainly recycled materials such as scaffolding boards, old fence posts and reclaimed roof tiles the playhouse cost less than £500 to build, with the £100 roof being the most expensive part.
Mr Clavin, who nominated the project himself, said he initially did not think the project would qualify as it wasn't completed when he entered the competition and was surprised when he received a phone call to say his shed had been shortlisted.
He said the shed had represented the perfect father-and-sons project and added: "The twins helped me out as much as they could, they're incredibly hands on.
"They wanted to protect it from dinosaurs and aliens, that sort of thing. So I had to rein them in a bit."
Competing against sheds from across the county including a yurt in Abergele, a Viking Bauhutte in Hampshire and a shepherds hut in Dorset, the Fleggburgh project has been nominated in the competition's budget category.
But Mr Clavin said he was just happy to be shortlisted: "I'd be happy if we won the budget category but there are so many fantastic sheds that have clearly had a lot of money invested in them. There are some incredibly original designs."
Open to sheds of any design, whether they are miniature or massive, modern or traditional, this year there are 24 sheds competing for the coveted title of Shed of the Year.
Voting for the Cuprinol Shed of the Year closes on August 28.
Once the category best are decided judges will pick the winner, to be revealed in September.

Wilwood's exclusive Thermlock Pistons provide the most effective thermal barrier available for minimizing heat transfer from the brake pads to the caliper body, seals and fluid. This innovative multi-part design incorporates a stainless steel shield and coated aluminum shell configuration that effectively retards heat transfer by at least 25 percent. This reduction in operating temperature eliminates seal crystallization and localized fluid boiling, which decreases distortion in the caliper body and piston bores, extending overall service life.

Since the company's inception in 1977 by Bill Wood, we have developed a substantial matrix of brake components and engineering techniques that allow us to quickly and reliably create brake systems for almost any application. Our core ability is the rapid development of custom engineered brake systems using a combination of off-the-shelf and custom components. In addition to designing and manufacturing brakes for all types of competitive motor sports, Wilwood also manufactures brake systems and components for agricultural equipment, industrial applications, utility vehicles, snowmobiles, quads, motorcycles and military vehicles.
With headquarters in Camarillo, California, Wilwood employs approximately 250 people. We have on-shelf stock of more than 300 different brake calipers, 200 rotor designs, 100 master cylinder designs and a wide assortment of brackets, fittings, valves and brake lines. Our off-shelf brake calipers range in size from tiny calipers used on go-carts and light duty industrial equipment, to heavy duty original equipment brakes for the U.S. military Humvee.
Wilwood's engineering department uses the latest computer-aided design and manufacturing techniques in conjunction with finite element analysis, dynamic test and cycle test equipment, to find high-performance and reliability solutions for the most difficult braking tasks. Our extensive inventory of proprietary on-the-shelf components allow us to provide cost-effective solutions for unique brake applications.

Our pneumatically placed methods allow us to save time and costs by installing either 1-sided or formless Shotcrete walls. Radius and free-form walls are also excellent candidates for Shotcrete. And the open front method gives the added advantage of allowing for a variety of architectural or artistic finishes to be applied as we shoot.
Soil Stabilization
Shotcrete is an excellent choice for stabilizing earth and rock excavations. Using Shotcrete and a variety of reinforcement anchoring systems has distinct advantages over traditional timber and steel shoring techniques, including:
- It is flexible and easy to install
- It uses space more efficiently by allowing vertical excavation and creating stable vertical walls very close to other buildings
- It saves money with the ability to concrete right over the Shotcrete
Shotcrete is ideal for soil nailing and ground support in tunneling and mining. Its early strength development provides early ground support after blasting or excavating and offers the ability to conform to natural irregular profile of the ground without form work. It is also the preferred material or process for underground structures like stations, shops and so on and provides long-term stability. It can also be used as a final or permanent lining.

Major Sergio
Sergio Garcia will go out in search of that elusive first Major – arguably the finest player on Tour at the moment without one.
Money Money Money!
The inaugural Race to Dubai will come to a head in November at the Dubai World Championship. How does a prize fund of $10,000,000 sound?
Young Guns

CompetentRoofer is the only roofing specific, Government authorised, 3rd party accredited Competent Person scheme. As a CompetentRoofer authorised contractor you will be able to self-certify that you work complies with Part L of the Building Regulations. By registering work through the scheme, you save your domestic and commercial clients both time and money.
CompetentRoofer was created in 2006 to give buyers of roof refurbishment works a place to find reputable roofing contractors which can assist in their compliance with building regulations (in England and Wales). The scheme is open to all roofing contractors and covers all types of roofing from domestic to commercial and industrial including pitched, flat and metal roofing disciplines.
If 50% of a roof is refurbished, it is a legal requirement to notify the Local Authority Building Control (LABC) and upgrade the insulation. If LABC is not notified of the works, you, the contractor can face unlimited fines and the building owner will have legal difficulties when it comes to selling their property. By registering the work through CompetentRoofer, you can take the strain off your client. Use of the scheme can save the property owner £1,000's which is particularly prevalent in Housing Association schemes.

Pursuing a degree from an internationally recognized degree is a dream of many students. Especially, Canada is the dream destination for international students to get into.
When you receive the letter of acceptance from a Canadian university, it seems that everything is sorted. However, it can be a lot harder to get a Study Permit approved by Immigration, refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) even after receiving a letter of acceptance.
Below are the Reasons why your Study Permit may be refused:
Financial Incapable:
When you proceed for a Study Permit application, you need to demonstrate that you are financially stable. You need to provide financial documents showing you have enough money to pay for the trip to Canada, tuition fees, and support yourself throughout your proposed program.
Planning to Stay Even after Completion of Studies:
A Study Permit is a temporary visa, which has a validity period and an expiration date. In your Study Permit application, you have to convince that you will get back to your native place after the completion of your education.
