text: = Create a frame = Next step in the OpenBM project is now creating a frame to hold everything in the dash. So, what I did so far, is to get the original mounting frame for the 4:3 bordmonitor (16:9 will also work) and put additional corners in it, to hold the bm device only. Here is an image showing that corners made of alluminium. Please note that I neither have much experience in metal fabrication nor I have right tools for that, therefor the framing might look really ugly. However, it do what it should do, hold the thing together :) [[Image(http://www.tevs.eu/stuff/bmw/DSCI3092.JPG.small.jpg, 400px)]] On the backside of the OpenBM device, I placed a plate with wings to both sides.

The only one thing left is to answer the question of how to build a holding ears or something like this to fit the this outer frame made of black plastic, as shown in the top part of the picture: [[Image(http://www.tevs.eu/stuff/bmw/DSCI3091.JPG.small.jpg, 400px)]] ---- {{{ #!html

One hundred and three years after it opened, Philippe the Original still has the best French dip sandwich in the city: a crusty baguette stuffed with beef or, better, lamb, some blue cheese if you want, then dipped or double-dipped in intensely flavorful jus. But the pleasure of this sandwich isn't limited to the thing itself; no, it's everything about the experience that makes eating this sandwich here that much more special: The lines full of tourists, cops and Angelenos of every stripe; the curls of sawdust on the floor; the strong, cheap coffee; the sinus-clearing hot mustard. Philippe's is more than a century old, and we wouldn't change a thing about it. 1001 N. Alameda St., dwntwn. (213) 628-3781, philippes.com. —Tien Nguyen

Caught between love or money, the practical and smart choice is money. But what if someone comes along and makes you want to choose love, instead?
DUBAI, 2020. In a place where buildings are high as the skies, where people go to make their dreams come true, LEON ANTONIO (Coco Martin) works as a waiter. Leon is simple guy with simple dreams, but he lives his life with honor and dignity. His only goal is to survive the city, earn enough money to save his family's home in the Philippines, and then go back.
But one night, he meets a familiar woman - ANGEL DELA CERNA (Angelica Panganiban), his fiancé. 3 years ago back in Manila, the two have already met and spent one magical night together, ending it with a proposal. But the next day, Angel left Leon without any word.
And now 3 years later, their paths meet again. Angel is a different woman, she's determined to make it in Dubai after experiencing hardships in Manila. She's been in the city for more than 2 years, and is willing to do anything to reach her dreams and ambitions — even if it means using men to her advantage. Money makes the world go round, and unless she finds her prince charming, she won't give her heart.
But as Angel helps Leon figure out his way into the city, Leon sweeps her off her feet again and makes her fall in love. But when life happens and they start to lose everything they've dreamed of and worked for, will their love be enough for them to survive?

Manitowoc County executive: Tell Meijer no
Manitowoc County Executive Bob Ziegelbauer is recommending the County Board cease consideration of Michigan-based grocery store chain Meijer's unsolicited offer to purchase a piece of Manitowoc County-owned land for a new store.
The grocery store chain has offered the county $4.6 million to purchase approximately 27.5 acres of land in the southeast corner of the county's expo property near the corner of Calumet Avenue and South Rapids Road.
Ziegelbauer's recommendation came after an open house Thursday, Jan. 7, in which public comment once again veered largely in favor of denying the offer. He said the wealth of public comments in favor of keeping the Expo as is resulted in him making his recommendation.
"The stock car racing and grandstand use was preferred over any change," Ziegelbauer said. "I recommend that we stop consideration of this plan, tell Meijer no, and go ahead with the status-quo of operations of the Manitowoc County Expo."
More than 100 people attended the open house to learn more about the offer and its affect on Expo operations. While a couple people spoke in favor of approving the sale, the vast majority were against it.
The open house was the day after a Manitowoc County Expo and Ice Center Board meeting during which 17 people spoke out against the deal. That meeting culminated with the board voting to not recommend selling the property. The vote is only advisory, as the County Board has sole authority to accept or refuse the offer.
Despite Ziegelbauer's recommendation, County Board Chairman Jim Brey said the board and its committees will continue discussions as planned.
"Next week, the Finance Committee and Public Works Committee will each be discussing the proposal," Brey said. "While the final recommendation might be to reject the offer, with that recommendation I am anticipating good discussion on economic development and the role Manitowoc County can and will play in it, and the long-term plan for funding of the Expo facility."
Much of the public comment has focused on the importance of the racetrack and grandstand that would be lost if the sale goes through. Though the county has said the Manitowoc County Fair would be able to proceed with minimal changes and no loss of entertainment aside from the Wednesday night races, people have lambasted the loss of the track.
But county officials have focused more on the needs of the Expo and using the funds from the sale to address those needs. Ziegelbauer has said the money would go into a special endowment fund to pay for Expo repairs and maintenance.
Director of Public Works Gerry Neuser said the county has a 10-year capital improvement plan for the Expo that identifies at least $1,125,000 in needed improvements.
If the money from the sale is not achieved, the county would have to find other ways to fund those projects, which could lead to tax increases. The sale could be "a sustainable way to keep the Expo grounds solvent for potentially the next 20, and possibly 50, years," Brey said.
Brey said that, along with other economic development issues, is the reason the board will continue to discuss the offer.
"I am more afraid of the long-term ramifications that an outright rejection will bring," Brey said. "What does this say to potential businesses that want to locate here in Manitowoc County?"
That needs to be discussed, Brey said.
"The increase in the tax base, the added opportunities for employment, potential for other businesses and, what I hear the most from our citizens, more retail choices available locally would come from this sale," Brey said.
The Finance Committee will discuss the offer at 4:30 p.m., Jan. 11, in the county communications and technology building at 1024 S. Ninth Street. The Public Works Committee will meet at 4:30 p.m., Jan. 13, in the same location.
The County Board will discuss the offer at 7 p.m., Jan. 26, at UW-Manitowoc, though Brey said not to expect a vote during that meeting.
"The committees might start making recommendations, but I don't envision doing that at the county board level, at least for one more month," Brey said.
No matter when a vote takes place, Supervisor Rita Metzger said it's imperative citizens contact their representatives to inform them how to vote. She said she's heard from multiple people regarding the sale, but has also been told by other supervisors that they haven't heard a thing from their constituents.
"That's telling that supervisor that they should make that choice themselves," Metzger said. "Please, call your supervisor. That's how you get something accomplished."
All supervisor contact information can be found on the county's website.

A criminal complaint filed Friday details the circumstances surrounding the alleged gruesome murder of a Shakopee woman at a busy residential intersection this week.
Alexis Saborit, 42, was charged in Scott County District Court with second-degree murder in the death of his long-time girlfriend, 55-year-old America Thayer.
Thayer's decapitated body was found near Fourth Avenue and Spencer Street at 2:31 p.m. July 28 in Shakopee. Officers had been called to the area, following a report of a man who had allegedly thrown a headless body out of a vehicle.
Investigators found several people who allegedly witnessed the murder. Police also found cell phone video filmed from inside a nearby residence of the incident, court documents said.
Officers found an empty, black sheath that appeared to be for a machete-style knife in the grass near the intersection. In an alleyway about one-and-a-half blocks away, officers found a white shirt, white shoes and knife in a recycling bin. The clothing appeared to have a "blood-like substance" on them.
Police spotted Saborit near Shenandoah Parkway and Highway 101. He was eventually arrested in the parking lot of The Landing historical village, two miles from where Thayer's body was found.
On July 29, a witness called police to report her dog had found a knife in a garden near Spencer Street and Fourth Avenue. The knife, which was nearly concealed, appeared to have been plunged in the dirt, court documents said. The knife appeared to fit the sheath found at the crime scene.
One witness said he was with Thayer and Saborit at Memorial Park at 2:15 p.m. that day. The witness told police Thayer was trying to convince Saborit to go to court so he would not get in trouble. Thayer was upset that Saborit may get into trouble for missing court, but things seemed fine between the two of them, said the witness, who added Saborit often carries a machete on him.
Saborit told investigators that he'd been dating Thayer for several years and had been at the park earlier that day. He allegedly said they were going to his court appearance together, and on the way to court, Thayer told him she wanted to end the relationship. Saborit allegedly said he used a knife to kill Thayer because she had "gone too far" in her abuse of him and in her comments about ending the relationship.
Bail in Saborit's case was set Friday at $2.5 million cash with conditions or $2.5 million non-cash bond, also with conditions. Saborit's first court appearance is scheduled for 8:30 a.m. Aug. 9. He has requested a public defender, according to Scott County Court Administration.
In the days since her death, friends and co-workers of Thayer have shared stories about a woman whom they described as caring, hard-working and soft-spoken.
Thayer, who was employed by MyPillow in Chaska, was remembered by co-workers as the kind of person that would never hurt a fly.
"I knew her pretty well. We didn't hang out but when I say she liked to work, she was putting in 70 hours a week," said Jamie Worley, MyPillow employee and Thayer's friend.
"She would basically go there all day, go home for a little bit and come back. I went there today and went to the store and got her a rose and a teddy bear to put on her desk. When I got there I didn't even look at any other of my coworkers," Worley said. "I just stood at her desk with my head down. Everyone was just crying. It was a very emotional day and it still is."
Worley remembers Thayer as a sweet and loveable person who befriended everyone. He also said Thayer moved to the United States from Cuba.
A vigil was held Thursday evening at the intersection were Thayer was found dead. Community members shared memories, lit candles and laid down flowers on the street corner.
"She was a really kind person who deserved better than this," said Tori Finney, who organized the vigil alongside Walker Martinez. Thayer was a frequent customer at a Speedway gas station in Chaska where they used to work. Thayer usually purchased a can of Pepsi and a hot coffee while taking a break from her work across the street at MyPillow.
"That's right, it was always Pepsi in a can," Martinez said.
Saborit's criminal history includes 2018 convictions of fleeing police and obstructing the legal process, a gross misdemeanor domestic assault conviction in 2017, and a third-degree DWI conviction in 2017.Reporter Jacqueline Devine contributed to this story.

A short introduction:
To approach the (daily-) life of someone else as a sculpture; something you shape and play the full scheme of attraction and distraction with, was interesting to me. Not only because of the physical comparison or of the complexity of it, but merely because of the idea that all the assumptions and visions you can have of a person, even without meeting that person or getting to know the personal in an engaging situation, will be taking place and get materialised. And so, be a very open way of communication, because this communication takes place in the real world.

Mom shares hilarious photo of what her kid got up to during lockdown
- Being in lockdown has taken parenting to the next level
- Parents are discovering just what their little darlings are really capable of
- This mom discovered what her child could get up to with a bottle of Vaseline
Our Manifesto: This is what YEN.com.gh believes in
Being in lockdown has been very difficult for most parents who have discovered what their kids are capable of.
The struggle was real for this mom who posted a picture of her son covered in Vaseline. She posted the picture to Facebook in the group #Imstaying with the caption:
"Day 17 of 35 #Imstaying regardless..."

Messages poured in from other social media users who could relate to what this mom went through. Some of the stories were from the current lockdown and others were stories of similar things that happened in the past.
Lisa Haggard: Oh boy. I know the exact feeling you went through when you found your little one covered in Vaseline. The look on your little one's face as well as the "evidence" covering him, instantly brought back memories of one Saturday morning 25 years ago of my son. He tried to wipe it off with the laundry that I had just neatly folded and packed away. Oh boy. Plus side - Your baba had a great time. Down side... You are going to go through a lot of dishwashing liquid etc to clean out the bath afterwards. Will keep you in my prayers. Stay strong."

Despite the prominence of social media, maintaining a private life is something that's incredibly important—even more so if you're a celebrity or a public figure, who to be in the spotlight way more than the rest of us. But everyone need spaces to make their own decisions—especially if they're someone like Malia Obama, who spent eight incredibly formative years in the White House because her dad was leading the world. Now on her own—and on her own as a private citizen—the 19-year-old Harvard freshman has been the subject of a few articles lately after two videos of the former President's daughter circulated around the Internet.
In one, she was kissing a young man who seemed to be a fellow student at a tailgate party; in another she appeared to be blowing smoke rings. Neither of those are entirely unusual behaviors for a college student—but she's not getting the same kind of slack as those of us who weren't raised by the former commander-in-chief. Instead, gossip sites rushed to post the videos.
Luckily, she's had a few people stick up for her—and one of the more suprising duos have been Ivanka Trump and Chelsea Clinton. Despite coming from opposite sides of the aisle, they also had to contend with growing up under the spotlight thanks to famous parents—a position none of these three women ever asked for. Trump and Clinton took to Twitter on Friday to defend Obama's right to choose to live as a private citizen—and enjoy college!—now that she's out of the White House.
Ivanka Trump tweeted: "Malia Obama should be allowed the same privacy as her school aged peers. She is a young adult and private citizen, and should be OFF limits."
Chelsea Clinton also spoke out against those sharing the videos: "Malia Obama's private life, as a young woman, a college student, a private citizen, should not be your clickbait. Be better."

After a design win in Apple's iPhone 6 Plus, NXP Semiconductor NV (Eindhoven, the Netherlands) has announced that its near field communications (NFC) chips are going to be used across the breadth of Qualcomm's Snapdragon-based platforms.
NXP describes the arrangement with Qualcomm Technologies Inc. as a collaboration that will accelerate the adoption of NFC and security not only in mobile devices such as smartphones and tablet computers, but also in wearable equipment and Internet of Things (IoT) devices.
Qualcomm plans to include NXP's NFC and embedded secure element (eSE) technology across platforms based on Snapdragon 800, 600, 400 and 200 processors, NXP says in a statement. In particular, reference designs are expected to expand the use of NFC in home automation, automotive, smart appliances and wearables, NXP says.
NFC is a short-range wireless communications technology that operates on 13.56MHz carrier frequency. It can be used for simple data transfers, for access control and ticketing. But it is also used as the RF basis for payment systems and it was in that context of the Apple Pay service that the PN65V NFC controller IC was included in the iPhone 6 Plus. (see iPhone 6 Plus: $100 Costlier for Consumers to Buy—Just $15.50 More Expensive for Apple to Make).
NXP is the clear market leader in NFC chips market with about 50% market share in 2013, says Don Tait, senior analyst for digital ID and IT security at IHS Technology. NXP will have increased market share in 2014 with design wins such as the Apple iPhone 6, he adds.
Broadcom had a good design win momentum in 2013, when it was included in the Galaxy S4, but likely lost share in 2014 when it lost the Galaxy slot to Samsung's own NFC chips, Tait says.
Other vendors of NFC chips include STMicroelectronics, Renesas and Texas Instruments. In terms of secure element, the three leading vendors are NXP, ST and Infineon, according to Tait.
The global market for NFC modems in 2013 was worth $306 million and was estimated to be worth more than $400 million in 2014, according to the IHS' NFC report published in January 2014. Similarly, the secure element market was worth $288 million in 2013 and headed towards $375 million in 2014, according to the report.
Both categories were forecast to enjoy compound annual growth rates of more than 30% over the period 2012 to 2018. Taken together, the NFC market is expected to exceed $1 billion in annual sales.
The 2015 NFC report with revised forecasts is expected later this month from IHS Technology.
In the case of the iPhone 6, NXP's involvement was the supply of an NFC controller, including secure element, while AMS (Unterpraemstatten, Austria) provided an antenna booster IC.
In the case of the Qualcomm collaboration, the reference designs will feature NXP's NQ220 module, which was derived from the PN66T module that launched in November 2014. The PN66T includes the P61 secure microcontroller, and a "loader service" to simplify the deployment of credentials to devices.
"We continue to see the market use and acceptance of NFC grow daily, with new applications being created at an astounding rate," says Rafael Sotomayor, senior vice president at NXP Semiconductors. "By working together, each company is able better to focus on its respective area of expertise, ensuring the industry receives a best-in-class, robust, tested and certified solution that can be designed in quickly by OEMs with minimal effort."
The NQ220-based reference design is available from NXP.

Keeping Up With EPA's Rulemaking Efforts
A new Web-based "dashboard" is now available on EPA's Web site. Created by the Office of Policy, Economics, and Innovation, this site provides a transparent way to keep track of the agency's priority rulemakings. It provides users with earlier and more targeted information as well as special filters that allow users to find rules and related documents that interest them.
This tool should be especially useful to those tracking issues involving environmental justice, children's health, federalism, or other special interests. Currently, these are the most-viewed rulemakings:
- Standards for the Management of Coal Combustion Residuals Generated by Commercial Electric Power Producers
- Reconsideration of the 2008 Ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standards
- Combined Rulemaking for Industrial, Commercial, and Institutional Boilers and Process Heaters at Major Sources of HAP and Industrial, Commercial, and Institutional Boilers at Area Sources
- Carbon Dioxide Injection and Geologic Sequestration Reporting Rule

Like AAP, Congress likely to shut its doors for Sidhu
Congress may also close its doors for Navjot Sidhu after his wife on Monday termed Congress leader Captain Amarinder Singh as 'not an alternative that Punjab was looking for'.
In Short
- Future of Sidhu's political innings still unclear.
- Congress may close its doors for Sidhu after his wife's comments.
- Mrs Sidhu termed Amarinder Singh as 'not an alternative that Punjab was looking for'.
The future of cricketer-turned-politician Navjot Singh Sidhu's political innings is still unclear. After AAP, now the Congress, which was earlier banking on AAP's misfortunes, may also close its doors for the Guru after his wife on Monday termed Congress leader Captain Amarinder Singh as 'not an alternative that Punjab was looking for'.
Captain Amarinder Singh and his party colleagues, who were sending feelers to Sidhu, have been left in a lurch by Mrs Sidhu's barbs that Captain's performance as an MP had been dismal and he had faced various charges in the past.
Miffed Captain Amarinder Singh today asked the estranged BJP legislator Navjot Kaur Sidhu to mind her own business than trying to meddle in the affairs of other parties.
"Before pointing fingers at others, you better prick your own conscience to realise whether it is fair on your part to condemn your own party and still enjoy the comforts of the power that it has provided you", said party colleagues.
"It is strange that when your own house is not in order, and you have been left lurching high and dry by everyone, you are commenting on the functioning of the Congress party and its leader whose credentials are proven beyond any doubt", party legislators said in a joint statement, while reacting to her comments about the Congress and the PCC President Captain Amarinder Singh.
The signatories to the statement included OP Soni, Rana Gurjeet, Kewal Dhillon, Rana Gurmeet Singh Sodhi, Sukh Sarkaria, Tript Rajinder Singh Bajwa, Sukhjinder Randhawa, Gurkirat Singh Kotli, Navtej Cheema, Hardayal Kambhoj, Sangat Singh Gilzian, Sunder Shyam Arora, Rajneesh Babbi, Aruna Chaudhary, Gur Iqbal Kaur, and Bibi Harchand Kaur.
The Congress leaders said, Dr Sidhu was apparently feeling frustrated for the obvious reason that her own party had disowned her and the Aam Aadmi Party was not prepared to accept her and now she was trying to vent her frustration on someone else.
The party legislators said, "Congress party and Captain Amarinder Singh did not need any certificate from anyone, much less from someone who herself was not sure where she stood or belonged to."
"Yours is a classic case of keeping the cake and eating it too", they told her while pointing out, while on the one hand she was criticising her own party and on the other hand she did not want to part with the comforts of power she enjoyed.
It is worth mentioning here that Captain Amarinder had earlier said that Congress was in Sidhu's DNA. One of the Congress leaders Manpreet Singh Badal had even said that he would go barefoot to welcome Sidhu if he joins Congress.

Hillsborough High School students plan park for final project
At first it was just a final project for their Honors World History class at Hillsborough High School. Just a grade. Do the work — do it well — get the grade and move on. But, the four freshman quickly realized their project to repurpose an empty lot next to the Arc of Somerset County in Manville into a community park was much more than a grade. It was a way to make a difference.
For their final project in Michael Wilson's class, Alexis Mathew, Rushil Sharan, Akash Iyer and Alexander Liu were tasked with creating a project based on the U.N.'s Sustainable Development Goals. The 15-year-olds chose to focus on two of the U.N.'s Goals — No. 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities) and No. 15 (Life on Land).
"We had to come up with something that would help with the U.N.'s sustainable goals," Mathew said. "Our project was to build a garden in an urban area in need of greenery. All we had to do for our (school) deadline was have our idea and all the needs to make our project. But, because of our specific circumstances we intend to finish the project by the end of the summer."
Together, they came up with the idea of repurposing a vacant city lot into a park. It would create green space, make the area more sustainable and help boost economic development. Further, the park area will improve the quality of life on land by reducing carbon emissions and water runoff, and become an opportunity for community engagement, Mathew said.
Closer to home
Initially, they looked to New York, but were informed that a green space project in the Bronx would not see completion for about six years. The cost would also be prohibitive.
"That was too long — we didn't have that time," Mathew said. "We've been raising money and wanted to make a difference but wanted to make a difference now."
Instead the four looked closer to home, calling and checking out local vacant lots. It was tedious work, but they soon found one with potential.
It was Sharan who stumbled across The Arc space in Manville. Right next to the Jerry Davis Center for Children and Families, the spot was perfect. And The Arc had been looking to build a garden there.
"Not only would this be making use of a random plot of land but it would also be going toward the children of the Jerry Davis Center," Mathew said. "We feel this park is for them and their teachers. It worked out pretty well because we were looking for a lot and The Arc wanted to build a garden in that space anyway. So, we said we will pay for everything — can we do this for you? They were totally down for it."

Located at 141 S. Main St., the Arc of Somerset County serves individuals with developmental disabilities and their families from birth through the senior years. The Arc serves more than 1,400 children, adults and their families in 33 locations including 27 group homes and apartments, four employment centers, the Jerry Davis Center, the Achievement Center at Raritan Valley Community College and Camp Jotoni.
The four informed The Arc of their final project proposal and found themselves a match. The next step for the four was to fund the effort, so they set up a GoFundMe page. Funds raised will go towards paying for the lot, buying sod, trees, plants and supplies for landscaping, Mathew said.
The lot in question is 1,248 square feet and they aim to build raised garden beds around the perimeter for flowers and plant and place a large tree in the center.
Helping children
Helping The Arc has meant a great deal to each of the project's participants. For Liu, it hit very close to home for his stepbrother, like many of the Arc children, has autism.
"Helping kids with special needs is special to me," Liu said. "This project is special to me."
Matthew added that the project experience has been "great."
"We started just with the idea that we wanted to make a change, but this was more than just our grade," she said. "We are actually making a difference. Even more than in sustainability which was our original goal. But we are making a difference in these children's lives."
Rushil said that as soon as they realized how much "hard work" was being put into the project, they wanted to "make the best out of the school opportunity."
"Even though we are just teenagers, we can make a difference," Sharan said. "That became important to us. Teenagers don't get a lot of opportunities to change the world."
"Eye-opening" was how Iyer described the project's personal impact.
"I didn't really expect us to be able to accomplish this much and actually make a change," Iyer said. "It helped me really realize we could make a change in the world — regardless of our age. I saw that we could do this in other places. We can make changes globally and not only in our towns."

The four hope to get the Jerry Davis Center children involved in the project and have a few different ideas including painting their hand prints on the pavement and having them participate in the planting.
Benefits of green spaces
In their research for the project, the four came across a study done by the university of British Columbia that demonstrated the effects of green spaces on urban communities, especially areas with a lower socioeconomic status.
"Our project will attempt to help with the problem of a lack of green space in large cities," Mathew said. "By rejuvenating vacant land, we can provide these areas with a park that would not only be beneficial to the members of the community but would be sustainable as well. We would be using land that is rendered useless, and creating a park would be one of the best ways to repurpose this land. The greenery would improve air quality, and the plants and grass will absorb rain which would help with runoff issues. Furthermore, it could be a stress-reducer and a source for community activity and engagement. Additionally, it could potentially have a positive economic impact by making these urban areas more liveable."
Though school ended on June 20, and the four will have received their grade, the project most likely won't be completed until the end of the summer. While it may be "a short time to get this ambitious of a project done, we are passionate and are willing to put all of our efforts in," Mathew said.
"We have been in contact with a few local nurseries because we want to start purchasing material and building our park as soon as possible," Mathew said. "It's coming along. We hope to start soon."

If splashing in muddy puddles, having tea with Peppa and going for a wild car ride with Daddy Pig sounds like the perfect day for your little ones, there will soon be an entire theme park for that.
Peppa Pig Theme Park, the world's first Peppa Pig theme park, has announced that its grand opening in Winter Haven, Fla. will take place on Feb. 24, 2022.
The theme park, located on the same property as Legoland Florida Resort, will offer Peppa-themed rides, play spaces and activities, all designed with preschoolers in mind. Guests of the new park can expect rides like Daddy Pig's Roller Coaster, a curvy ride along a "short cut" through town in Daddy Pig's red car, and Peppa Pig's Balloon Ride, a hot air balloon ride with a snort-worthy view from the top.
In addition to six themed rides, the park will include play spaces — like a Muddy Puddles Splash Pad — as well as a cinema where kids can take a break and watch episodes of Peppa Pig on the big screen. And, as with any good Peppa adventure, there will be forts, trails, treehouses and playgrounds to explore, in addition to character meet-and-greets with Peppa and her friends.
Plans to build the standalone theme park were initially announced in February. While Peppa Pig World, an attraction within a waterpark in England, has been open since 1983, Peppa Pig Theme Park will be the first fully Peppa-themed theme park property in the world.
Legoland Florida is already home to a theme park and water park, though admission to Peppa Pig Theme Park will require a separate ticket. Both park tickets and annual passes to Peppa Pig Theme Park are now available for purchase as the park's opening date approaches.

Three of us are reading Nia Shanks' The 100 Day Reclaim: Daily Readings to Make Health and Fitness as Empowering as it Should Be.
Read about Day 1 here.
Here's our reflections on Days 2-10.
My main goal with this book is to find ways to make it easier for my ADHD brain to manage the logistics of daily exercise. In Days 2-10 there are several questions that are helping me to get into the heart of that problem.
I particularly liked Day 7's focus on how your daily actions help you build the life you want. That is a reminder that I often need. ADHD makes it challenging for me to see how the pieces of a project add up to the whole. This is especially true for me with exercise since the tangible results can be a long time coming. It's hard for me to remember to include something in my day when I can't always see the overall purpose it is building to.
It's one thing to *know* that it will lead to feeling stronger over time but remembering that in the moments when I am planning my day is a huge challenge for me.
Some of the information in Day 8 can help me with that issue though. Day 8 is about recognizing 'wins' of all sizes and if I can keep in mind the lessons of Day 2 – which were about focusing on the process rather than the results – I should be able to come up with a way to make my daily exercise a 'win' that I can focus on.
I'm finding it interesting to discover, though, that some of the questions aren't relevant to me at all. For example, I don't need to work on disconnecting my self-worth from my appearance and my goals are not connected to improving just a single area of my body. Shanks has advice on both of those fronts and while her questions are thought-provoking, I don't need to put a lot of energy into those areas.
I know that Catherine has some issues with how Shanks keeps using the concept of choice in this part of the book. I can completely see why framing things as 'choosing who you will be today' and 'choosing your lens' would get on someone's nerves – there can be a slippery slope between the language of 'choosing' and the language of the law of attraction and victim blaming.
My mind didn't go in that direction because in my coaching practice I get my clients to think about choices but in a different way that you might interpret it here. I use language around choice to help people work on areas where they feel dragged along and reminding them that they do have opportunities to choose can empower some people. However, it does need to be employed judiciously because, depending on someone's background, it can feel dismissive or like you are blaming them for their situation, which is never helpful.
I have some issues with the ways she discusses goals and eating and weight loss and I feel like there are some value judgments in there but since I am not her audience for those topics, I suspect that she is generally doing what she can to bridge the gap for people who are used to thinking of exercise and fitness in terms of weight loss and visual results.
Nia spends a lot of time on days 2—10 talking about control. I'm reminded of Janet Jackson in the 80's; likely that will be my tune of the day…
Here are some of the ideas she uses:
- free yourself from constraints (of worrying about what others think)
- take advantage of what you have control over—what you do today
- you can choose to remove the colored glasses (of the way you've viewed food, exercise, etc.)
- decide how you want to define who you are
- every day is a new opportunity to choose who you will be
I get it that she's suggesting that we would be better off if we had more agency and control over our actions and emotions and decisions. Maybe that's even true (because my day job is philosophy, I think agency and control are complicated). What I don't see is how she thinks we can get more control just by deciding. If that were true, life would look really different.
What I think we can do, and what I try to do in my life, is aim for more perspective and support around our goals. With perspective, we have a little space to look around and see some of those constraints Nia talks about. With support (from friends, family, therapists, coaches, and yes, Nia, too), we can achieve and celebrate some of those daily triumphs. I experience this every day and am grateful for my community. I can't achieve fitness just by deciding. I can go to a yoga class or walk or ride with my friends, or supported by my community.
I suspect Nia's audience is younger and more angst ridden than me. Some of the lessons in days 2-10 are ones that I think I learned years ago. Yes, I'm doing this for me. I'm not exercising to impress or please others. I'm not focused on looks. I know we all make mistakes and I don't think in all or nothing ways. So instead, my approach to days 2-10 was to think about the bits that did speak to me.
I liked the focus on thinking about the things you can control. So for example, don't fixate on outcomes–whether that's running 5 km in 25 minutes or benching 150 lbs–instead put your attention on areas you can control, such as doing the training required. We might not have as much control over the daily habits as we think. See Catherine's point above. But we do have a lot more control over the daily habits than we do over the end result. That was Day 3, focus on the process, not the prize. I also liked Day 7, focus on daily actions which is a similar idea.
I also liked Day 8, on acknowledging small wins such as being neutral about food and getting out for a walk to manage stress, or something really simple like getting to bed on time. Today my small win is going to personal training before a workplace festive event. My hair might be messy but I'll be in a better mood, I'm sure.
Are you reading along with us? What did you think so far?

The Norwegian singer-songwriter is back with a new track and details for her long-awaited debut album.
A question that holds the key to unlocking the mysteries of an entire generation: Does she…you know…listen to girl in red?
Innuendos aside, an answer in the affirmative wouldn't be at all surprising. Marie Ulven has risen to indie pop superstardom since the release of breakout hits "i wanna be your girlfriend" and "we fell in love in october," amassing millions of streams and cementing herself as an icon. Ulven, under the alias girl in red, is so deeply woven in today's alternative fabric that listening to her has become a rite of passage, a sign of official entry into a left-of-center subculture. There's a secret language among her loyal listeners, an unspoken understanding of a shared sapphic experience so hyper-specific to Gen Z it's not worth explaining. "Do you listen to girl in red?" goes far beyond inquiries into your music taste: it's a question of who you are, who you love, and where you belong. She's hardly the first to do it – the likes of Melissa Etheridge and Indigo Girls were the LGBTQ+ innovators of Gen X, and the millennial wlw's coming-of-age was soundtracked almost entirely by Tegan and Sara's discography – but the torch of musical pining has been passed, and it irrefutably belongs to girl in red.
And the torch keeps burning. The 22-year-old Norwegian singer and songwriter released her newest single "Serotonin" today, along with details for her debut album if i could make it go quiet. "Serotonin" tackles self-destructive tendencies and mental health struggles through a more expansive soundscape than girl in red's previous work, serving as first taste of varied musical palate the new album will sample.
Co-produced with Grammy-winning artist and producer FINNEAS and Matias Tellez, the track is larger than, though still rooted in, the clean guitar strums and simple backbeats that have come to characterize girl in red's music. FINNEAS's electronic influence here is particularly evident – a drum machine providing the pulse, doubled vocals decorating the pre-chorus, and percussive effects as intrusive as the thoughts girl in red seems to be struggling with making their presence known throughout – but the essence of her production still shines. The chorus is a breath of fresh indie-pop air, with a group of guitar licks overlapping each other and persistent percussion propelling it all forward.
Lyrically, "Serotonin" laments on the lack thereof. It's a deep dive into the ups and downs of dealing with mental health. Managing intrusive thoughts, bouncing from prescription to prescription to maintain a sense of stability, ghosting your therapist – it's all here. The relatability of girl in red has traditionally pandered to romantic endeavors and relationships with other people, but on "Serotonin," she looks inward.
"'Serotonin' is brutally honest, lyrically, especially about having these intrusive thoughts – thoughts of never going to be okay, and thinking my therapist hates me. I stopped going to my therapist because I felt like I was such a big burden for her that she didn't like me. I'm pretty sure a lot of people have felt that, whether it's a friend or a family member or a therapist. I'm addressing a lot of things I haven't been comfortable talking about, or admitting to myself, or even things to tell my closest friends and family," she said.
This vulnerability is the focus of girl in red's new record, set to release April 30th. Written and demoed at her home in Oslo and recorded eight hours away in Bergen, if i could make it go quiet will see girl in red at new levels of vulnerability. Though her soundscape has broadened, her lyricism has grown more intimate, tackling the deepest parts of her psyche and her understanding of the human condition.
"if i could make it go quiet is an attempt to learn what it's like to be human; to deal with the scariest parts of myself; to live with the pain of knowing I'm only flesh and bones; to be angry, broken and unforgiving yet still able to wear my heart on my sleeve; I'm shedding light on the darkest parts of my mind and I'm letting everyone in; if i could make it go quiet is me simply trying to understand what the fuck is going on," she said.
Check out "Serotonin" here and catch if i could make it go quiet April 30th!

Important: The Kings Ferry commuter service ceased operating on Friday 24 December. Click here to view more information.
It is with much regret that I have to inform you The Kings Ferry commuter service ceased operating on Friday 24 December.
This has been an incredibly difficult decision to make and has not been taken lightly. The ongoing challenges created by COVID 19 have reduced demand to such an extent that means our services are not commercially viable and unlikely to become so in the near future.
There are no current plans to reinstate the service however we will continue to monitor travel patterns and if circumstances change in the future we will look at ways to reintroduce our commuter services.
I would like to thank all our customers past and present for their support over the last almost 40 years, it has been a pleasure transporting you to and from London on a daily basis.

We know D.C. Get our free newsletter to stay in the know.

I have a dear friend who's an alcoholic. When he came out of treatment, I told him I couldn't see why he wasn't able to condition himself to have, say, a single glass of beer and stop at that. He said it didn't work that way, but never got specific. Why can't an alcoholic learn to drink in moderation? —Name withheld
Because alcoholics, by definition, are incapable of drinking in moderation. Sorry if that seems like a kiss-off answer, but research and experience tell us that's how it is.
Alcoholism is no trivial problem. The estimated 75 million or more alcoholics worldwide cost society from 1 to 5 percent of its gross domestic product. In Russia, where the problem is especially acute, male life expectancy is only 60 years, 15 years less than for U.S. men, largely due to alcohol abuse.
The question of how to control heavy drinking—abstinence or moderation—has been controversial for about 60 years, even though the basic facts have never been in dispute.
The dominant school of thought favors abstinence, arguing that alcoholics are too fragile to resist temptation and that a single drink can trigger a binge. Alcoholics Anonymous, the largest alcoholism support and treatment organization in the world, is a strong proponent of abstinence, which has an impressive success rate. But some say it's not the only way.
Investigation into alternative approaches was kicked off by a study of 97 English heavy drinkers in the 1950s, who were tracked for several years and generally found to be able to control their alcohol consumption without abstinence. In 1978 a Rand Corporation followup of U.S. heavy drinkers who'd received abstinence treatment found that 18 months later 22 percent could drink in moderation without problems, and after four years 18 percent were still doing so. Other work in the 1970s found that some with seemingly severe alcohol issues could be successfully trained to drink moderately, and had better life outcomes than those who stuck to abstinence.
These findings aroused bitter argument, for an obvious reason: if 18 percent of heavy drinkers can learn to drink in moderation, 82 percent presumably can't. Nonetheless, over the years strategies were developed to teach heavy drinkers to control but not necessarily halt their consumption.
An approach that became a lightning rod in the 1990s was Moderation Management, a nine-step self-help program. "Prominent figures in the treatment and research communities denounced MM as a 'dangerous temptation to alcoholics' that was 'built on the illusion' that alcoholics could return to controlled drinking," writes Stanford addiction researcher Keith Humphreys in a 2003 review of the program's effectiveness.
Exhibit A: MM's founder, Audrey Kishline. She "left MM, joined AA, and several months later caused the deaths of two people in a horrific car accident while severely intoxicated," Humphreys reports.
But he points out the MM and AA crowds don't fundamentally disagree. MM participants are told initially to abstain from drinking for 30 days, then switch to moderate consumption. If moderation fails, then a return to abstinence is recommended. The implication is that some heavy drinkers can control their habit and some can't.
AA, he notes, says the same thing. Both groups "make explicit distinctions between problem drinkers who are able to return to controlled drinking and alcoholics. Both [groups] also concur that failure at the goal of moderate drinking indicates that a drinking problem is serious and is best addressed by abstinence."
So what's the dispute about? A key element in AA theory is alcoholics' capacity for denial, and its advocates see only the potential for tragedy in a system that lets drinkers decide they're capable of drinking on occasion.
Humphreys, though, says his research showed people who sought help for excessive drinking for the most part tended to correctly self-sort. AA members were more likely to be older males with severe alcohol-related problems. No doubt partly for that reason they had a greater chance of being jobless or otherwise socially and economically unstable.
MM participants, on the other hand, tended to be younger, female, and white, with fewer indications of severe alcohol abuse. But not all of them. About 15 percent of MM members, Humphreys reports, had major alcohol problems—"shaking when not intoxicated" and "cravings for alcohol upon waking," plus alcohol-related job issues. These people, he says, fit the profile for alcoholism—they just don't admit it.
Thus your friend's response. You don't say whether he was in AA, but the first of the 12 steps is to acknowledge you're powerless over alcohol. The research suggests no one arrives at this stark conclusion unless it's true. —Cecil Adams

Physiological relevance of the neuronal isoform of inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate 3-kinases in mice.
Neurosci. Lett. 735:135206 (2020)
Inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate 3-kinase-A (ITPKA) is the neuronal isoform of ITPKs and exhibits both actin bundling and InsP3kinase activity. In addition to neurons, ITPKA is ectopically expressed in tumor cells, where its oncogenic activity increases tumor cell malignancy. In order to analyze the physiological relevance of ITPKA, here we performed a broad phenotypic screening of itpka deficient mice. Our data show that among the neurobehavioral tests analyzed, itpka deficient mice reacted faster to a hotplate, prepulse inhibition was impaired and the accelerating rotarod test showed decreased latency of itpka deficient mice to fall. These data indicate that ITPKA is involved in the regulation of nociceptive pathways, sensorimotor gating and motor learning. Analysis of extracerebral functions in control and itpka deficient mice revealed significantly reduced glucose, lactate, and triglyceride plasma concentrations in itpka deficient mice. Based on this finding, expression of ITPKA was analyzed in extracerebral tissues and the highest level was found in the small intestine. However, functional studies on CaCo-2 control and ITPKA depleted cells showed that glucose, as well as triglyceride uptake, were not significantly different between the cell lines. Altogether, these data show that ITPKA exhibits distinct functions in the central nervous system and reveal an involvement of ITPKA in energy metabolism.

The wide leather strip is decorated with red velvet and gold galloon on the obverse side, and it is covered with faded silk fabric on the backside. The silver-gilt set consists of a massive three-section buckle and seven large rosette-shaped plaques that are pierced with arabesque motifs (eslimi) and framed by stylized leaves with ribbed edges. The oval-shaped central section of the buckle is gilded with an arabesque ornament against a dark blue and dark green enameled background.
COMMENT. Kamar is a traditional Uzbek men's belt made of leather, velvet, silk or cotton fabric. Silk and cotton belts are usually decorated with intricate embroidery, while leather belts are often covered with embroidered fabric. The belt mounts including a massive buckle are usually made of silver. The most expensive belts have silver, rarely gold mounts that are inlaid with precious or semiprecious stones. Kamar has always been not only an important part of the Uzbek national costume, but also a symbol of manhood and an indicator of the owner's social status.

Personal guidance & Executive coaching
Strengthen your personal and professional leadership
Effective leadership for decision-makers and policymakers.
Executive coaching is intended for entrepreneurs (DGAs), directors and senior managers who want temporary support and guidance during important moments in their career. Because the functioning of decision-makers and policymakers affects the entire organization.
As a leader, it's not just about what you do, but who you are and how you do business. It is often experienced as difficult to discuss uncertainties. We offer a solution in being a sparring partner or someone who holds up the mirror to you.
Sometimes the need may arise to evaluate and possibly redefine your own goals. Answering questions such as: "How can I work more effectively, am I still in the right place or how can I change small things so that I can develop better and enjoy more, both in my working life and in my private life?'
Do you recognize issues such as:
Managing in times of change
Learning to interpret the behavior of others
Learn to communicate more effectively
Learning to recognize deception during conversations
Keeping the balance between the substantive side of your job and an overview
How can I improve my effectiveness as a professional?
Aligning culture and strategy
Develop service-oriented leadership
How do I get commitment?
How do I create a collective sense of responsibility in my staff?
Motivate my teams and employees and achieve better results
Sparring about actual (practical) situations and defining an approach
How do I – in a practical way – influence my own behavior and that of others?
Constructive communication techniques in looming conflict situations
Our process ensures that you gain insight into your personal dynamics and how it relates to your environment and your goals. In addition, we also help you evaluate the effectiveness of your performance and take the next step in your personal leadership.
Forming a good definition of your goal(s) and the impetus to develop activities aimed at this, are also part of the possible process. Because no one is the same, this always concerns customization.

The COVID-19 pandemic has been a difficult time for everyone, including musicians who have seen their main or only source of income evaporate.
Because of the pandemic many artists have seen their live performances cancelled without a hope of rebooking them anytime soon.
Along with cancelled gigs, a young performer's main source of income, many grants and government programs have been cancelled. This means a recording artist is less likely to have the money needed to book time in a recording studio.
Nich Davies, president of Hurry Hard Records, says now is a difficult time for young and emerging artists, which is why he is starting a residency program at Hurry Hard Record's studio in Benalto.
"We are looking to support artists with whatever they are working on," Davies said in a recent phone interview.
The program will provide an 80 per cent subsidy towards a music production residency, according to the company's website.
The residency will take place between August and December of this year, over one to three weeks.
The program also includes and in-house audio engineer, 24 hour studio access and lodging during the residency.
"We really just want to be able to have everything they may need ready and accessible to them during the residency so that they can create their vision," said Nich.
The program is open to artist in Alberta of any genre, with a focus on new and emerging musicians.
Applications to the program opened on June 11, and currently there is no closing date.
"We just want to reach as many artists as we can. We are hoping to accept 10 artists to the program, if we get overwhelmed we may close submissions," Davies said.
Applications to the program can be submitted through Hurry Hard Recording's website at: www.hurryhardrecords.com/abartsmatter.
Artists will be required to submit a two page proposal and a music demo to be considered for the program.

History and Purpose
The Indo Taro Prize was established in 2010 and is awarded biennially, in memory of Dr. Taro Indo, professor emeritus of Keio University and prominent mathematical psychologist.
He had taught at Keio for long years and then moved to University of California, Irvine. After his death in 2007, our department established this prize for utilizing funds donated by his family in pursuance of his intention. This prize is aimed to encourage young researchers in psychology and related fields, with praising achievements of Dr. Indo.
For deciding the winner, preparatory committee of the prize requests four academic societies closely related to his work (Color Science Association of Japan, Behaviormetric Society of Japan, Japanese Psychonomic Society, and Japanese Society for Cognitive Psychology) and our department for nominating a candidate.
Information about each winner is at the time.
Yoko Mizokami (Chiba University)
Her main research theme is about interactions between vision and visual environment, especially studies relating measurements of color distributions in the circunstances and evaluated visual properties in psychological experiments. These achievements are expected to contribute toward technologies for developing images and environments appropriate for human characteristics.
Nominator: The Color Science Association of Japan
Takahiro Hoshino (Nagoya University)
He is an enthusiastic researcher in psychometrics and statistics, and also applying the knowledge to fields of marketing science and behavioral economics. His methodological studies on factor analysis models, item response theory, selection bias and discrete choice models are widely noticed by many researchers in the world.

Jun-ichiro Kawahara (Chukyo University)
He specializes in psychonomics and cognitive behavior science, and also applies the knowledge to industrial situations. Using behavioral and biochemistric experiments, he has studied attention, memory, face recognition, attractiveness evaluation, and stress. Especially, his studies using unique methods which demonstrate gaps between meta-attention and actual attentional ability have drawn attention of many researchers.
Nominator: The Japanese Psychonomic Society

Rio Ferdinand has identified three positions Manchester United need to target for recruitment in order to challenge for the Premier League title.
United overturned an early deficit to dominate Bournemouth with a 5-2 victory on Saturday afternoon and extend their unbeaten run in all competitions to 16 matches.
While the result saw Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side leapfrog Chelsea into the top four, United remain 31 points behind champions Liverpool.
And Ferdinand believes his former side needs to recruit fresh options in three positions in order to close the gap on their north-west rivals.
"United need a centre-back with pace, a midfielder who understands defensive positioning and a player to rival the front three," the United icon told BT Sport .
Explaining why United need a fast centre-back to partner Harry Maguire, Ferdinand admitted that turn of speed is an area where the Englishman is lacking.
The 27-year-old was bought from Leicester City for £80million last summer - a world record fee for a defender.
He was awarded the club captaincy by Solskjaer in January and has made 46 appearances across all competitions this season, scoring three goals.
Elsewhere, Ferdinand believes United need a ball-winning midfielder to compete with Scott McTominay, Fred and Nemanja Matic for a role in United's midfield alongside Paul Pogba.
And to complete Solskjaer's squad rebuild, a player capable of pushing Mason Greenwood, Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford for a starting role is needed.
Current stand-in forward options include Odion Ighalo and Daniel James, but Ferdinand believes another quality player is needed to ensure United have the depth required to become Premier League champions.
United remain linked with a move for Jack Grealish, though the Aston Villa captain is expected to cost up to £80million and such fees may not be feasible amid the coronavirus outbreak.
The Red Devils are also unwilling to improve on their £50million offer for Jadon Sancho, with Borussia Dortmund holding out for £115million.
