en | N/A | N/A | , almost all the exponents you encounter on the SAT are simple enough that you don't need a calculator.
* **A base to a negative exponent is the reciprocal of the base to a positive exponent.**
A _reciprocal_ is the upside-down version of a fraction. For example, is the reciprocal of . An integer (except 0) can also have a reciprocal: is the reciprocal of 3. When you have a negative exponent, just put base and exponent under a 1 and make the exponent positive again.
The answer isn't negative. When you flip it, you get the reciprocal, and the negative goes away. Don't fall for the trap of saying that or –125.
Also, if a number or variable with a negative exponent, such as , appears in the denominator of a fraction, such as , you can make the exponent positive and move it to the numerator, like this: .
* **A base to a fractional exponent is a root of the base.** Ah, more confusion. You're already familiar with the standard square root of a number: because . Because it takes two 5s to make 25, you can also write .
* **To multiply like bases, add the exponents.**
You can't multiply numbers with _unlike_ bases. (Actually you can, by making the exponents the same, but that's not something you do on the SAT.)
* stays
* stays (you actually have to work it out)
* **To divide like bases, subtract the exponents.** You can divide two bases that are the same by subtracting the exponents.
(That last one should make sense if you think about it. Any base to the zero power is 1. Any number divided by 1 is itself.)
Did you look at the second example, , and think that it was ? Falling into the trap of dividing instead of subtracting the exponents is easy, especially when you see numbers that just beg to be divided, such as 9 and 3. Keep your guard up.
* **Multiply exponents that appear inside and outside of parentheses, like this:**
* **You can add and subtract bases with exponents if the bases and exponents are the same.** Remember, the _base_ is the number or letter tied to the exponent.
* : The base is _x,_ and the exponent is 3.
* : This works the same way as .
* **:** Because the bases are the same and the exponents are the same, just add the numbers (also known as numerical coefficients) to count the : .
* **:** Just subtract the numbers to count the : .
You can't count bases with different exponents or different bases. In other words, stays , and stays . combine them.
## Putting It Together and Taking It Apart: FOIL and FactoringThese expressions come in several varieties:
* **One term times one term:** To multiply two terms, multiply their coefficients and _add_ the powers of any common variables being multiplied; for example, . Check out the earlier section "Powering Up: Exponents" for more details about exponents.
* **One term times two (or more) terms:**.
To simplify , write each multiplication task separately:
And your answer is .
* **Two terms times two terms:** Now, you FOIL: Multiply in the order _First, Outer, Inner, Last_.
To work out :
1. Multiply the _**First**_ terms: .
2. Multiply the _**Outer**_ terms: .
3. Multiply the _**Inner**_ terms: .
4. Multiply the _**Last**_ terms: .
5. Combine like terms: .
And your solution is .
Memorize the following three special cases of FOIL. Don't bother to work them out every time you see them. If you know them by heart, you can save valuable SAT minutes on test day.
* . You can use this shortcut only when the two terms are exactly the same _except for their signs._ For example, .
* . Check out the following example to see the rule in action.
The expression is equivalent to
The correct answer is Choice (D). Choices (A) and (B) are wrong, because you don't just distribute the exponent. If you FOIL it out, you get . Or you could just use the formula: .
For example, given , solve for .
1. ****
2. **To get** **, the _first_ terms have to be _x_ and _x_. Fill those in.**
3. **Look now at the _last_ term in the problem.**
You need two numbers that multiply together to be . Well, there are several possibilities such as , , or . You can even have two negative numbers: , , or . You aren't sure which one to choose, so go on to the next step.
4. **Look at the _middle_ term in the problem.**
You have to add two values to get . What's the first thing that springs to mind? Probably . Hey, that's one of the possibilities in the preceding step! Plug it in and try it.
Great, but you're not done, yet. The whole equation equals 0, so you have . Because any number times 0 equals 0, either or . Therefore, _x_ can equal either or , not both and _not_ or . These possible values of _x_ are known as the _roots_ of the equation.
You may also have to factor an expression like .formula (discussed earlier in this section): . The expression is known as a _difference of squares_ because it equals . Any difference of squares can be factored like this: , and just as with , equals either or . This is why _y_ 2 = 49 is known as a _square root_. SAT factoring is usually simple.
## Solving Equations: Why Don't They Just Tell Me What X Is?
You'_linear_ (for example, , whose solution is ) and _quadratic_ (for example, , solved in the preceding section by factoring). Every once in a while, the SAT-.
Remember that most of the SAT is a multiple-choice test. When you're presented with an equation that you're not sure how to solve, you can often fall back on plugging in the answers one at a time.
Absolute value presents you with a number, letter, or expression inside of two lines, as explained in Chapter 10. Here is what you
In the equation , _x_ could equal
(C) 7 or 1
(D) 7 or –1
The correct answer is Choice (Ce |

"My father planned to have me be an architect, not a painter. So, he never wanted me to go," Penn says. "It took the attaché probably two years to convince my father to let me go, plus the situation in the city started to deteriorate. The war got really close to the city."
"Every time in the painting class, he stood behind me and said, 'You're a professional. Why do you come to school?'" Penn recalls. "I said, 'I need a diploma so I can go back home.'"
At the Mary Martin Gallery, owner Mary Martin says that when visitors come across his work, they stop and enjoy the moment. "His brilliance of color and his texture—they're almost unmatched," she says. "It's not just a painting of a garden; you feel like you're almost in it because of the texture."
"A flower could be on the side of the road. It could be in the nursery. It could be people hanging their flower pot in front of their house," he says. "When I turn my head and I see something beautiful, I just remember, and I paint it." |

en | N/A | N/A | Such a simple word, home. A mere four letters. Exhale a single syllable and you’ve said it.
But oh, what a massively fraught and intricate world of relationships, memories, and meanings is bound up in that simple word.
Greenidge (”Luck of the Irish,” “Milk Like Sugar”) has always been exceptionally well attuned to family dynamics. “Our Daughters, Like Pillars” reflects the playwright’s understanding that family life is something we experience singly as well as together; that it’s a story we tell in the first-person singular, not just in the plural.
The play revolves around the Shaws, a Black family from Boston spending a week’s vacation together in North Conway, N.H., in July 2021. The Shaws have brought along plenty of family baggage, a secret or two, a couple of hidden agendas, and a few unresolved conflicts. All the ingredients of drama, in short, though “Daughters” also provides a goodly share of laughs.
The primary focus is on the three Shaw sisters: Lavinia (Nikkole Salter), who is adamant that the week be a phone-free idyll, and also devoid of any discussion of religion or politics; Octavia (Arie Thompson), who is struggling to finish writing a book and spends more time staring at her laptop than at the scenery; and Zelda (Lyndsay Allyn Cox), the family rebel, who makes a dramatic entrance in her large camper, though Zelda prefers to think of it as a tiny house.
Lavinia’semic? Or seeking a do-over of their upbringing? Or both?
The picture becomes both clearer and murkier over the course of an eventful week that is punctuated by the arrival of a most unwelcome surprise guest. The sisters are still processing certain events from the past, especially that life-changing afternoon long ago when their now-deceased father left their mother, Yvonne (Lizan Mitchell), for a younger woman, Missy (Cheryl D. Singleton).
Also on hand in the woodsy spot in the Granite State (deftly evoked by the blending of trees and house in Marion Williams’s set) are Lavinia’s good-natured husband, Morris (Postell Pringle), and Zelda’s free-spirited new boyfriend, Paul (Julian Parker). Both Pringle and Parker are assets to the Huntington production, though at times Wednesday night Parker was not sufficiently audible. Greenidge has also given more airtime to Paul’s philosophical ruminations than is warranted, symptomatic of the play’s principal flaw: its duration.
Let’s grant that one of the most facile things a reviewer can say about a play is that it would be better if it were shorter. But I believe it’s true of “Our Daughters, Like Pillars,” which stretches over three acts and clocks in at 3½ hours, with two intermissions. While at its best “Daughters” embodies Greenidge’s love for, and skill at, working on a large, amply populated canvas, the play’s epic length takes a toll on its vitality and urgency. The issues and conflicts in the play are compelling, but they get diluted in a three-act marathon. That said, a core strength of the playwright — her ability to craft sharp dialogue that is both specific to a character and suggestive of deeper themes — is in evidence throughout.
. Mitchell gives Yvonne, the mother, a fascinatingly ethereal quality: Yvonne seems detached and all-knowing at the same time. As her antagonist, Missy, Singleton is a marvel. The actress sketches a picture of imperturbable entitlement, of a would-be matriarch serene in her conviction that she deserves to live with “my girls,” even though she broke up their family.
But it’“What are sisters for? What is family for?” — that frames and percolates through the play. As “Our Daughters, Like Pillars” illustrates, the answer is complicated. |
en | N/A | N/A | I learned a lot about boundaries in graduate school. I studied social work which has turned out to be incredibly valuable training in a world based on effective relationships. In school we talked about not getting too involved, keeping our distance, not telling others what to do, but rather helping people find their own way.
This is really the challenge when it comes to professional boundaries, isn’t it? We want to jump in and help. But it’s more than that…we want to solve the other person’s problem. Now we’re getting somewhere! Results we can see, feel and experience. Aren’t we terrific? Damn right we are. Except we’re not living that person’s life. They are. And that makes the whole thing so much more complicated.
Are you going to “help” someone today? If so, do you plan on being a know-it-all? Or, will you be the one that takes the time to listen, connect, and leverage the relationship building opportunity at hand and avoid crossing that ever-moving boundary line?

So interesting, I'm currently re-writing resumes and it would be so easy to say "hey don't you know better than too do this or that on your resume.." but that's the thing words are powerful, and we someone asks for help they are most vulnerable.
Wilson November 4, 2011 at 4:19 PM
It is sometimes a tough choice to go outside the boundaries, but in the big scale, it is a necessity. Helping others in need can bring a sense of accomplishment and give others much needed guidance. It is a tough time in our society, it should be a rule to help anyone who desperately needs it.

en | N/A | N/A | This summer we visited three colleges located north of the 38th parallel – Dartmouth College in New Hampshire, Middlebury College in Vermont and Hamilton College in upstate New York. They share many similarities – all offer a liberal arts education surrounded by mountains (Green, White, or Adirondacks) and have beautiful, traditional campuses with elegant brick or stone buildings. Being so far north, winters can seem interminable. When we visited in midsummer, the weather was so pleasant and mild that it was hard to imagine these campuses blanketed under thick snow and ice, assailed by bitter winds and frigid temperatures. Tuition and board are expensive, costing more than $50,000; to soften the sticker shock, they all offerd.
Of the three colleges, Dartmouth College is the most selective, being in the Ivy League. Last year its admission rate was 10%, Middlebury’s was 18% and Hamilton’s was 27%. For students interested in going to college in rural areas, play sports, and enjoy nature and the outdoors, these three schools offer all that in descending order of selectivity.

en | N/A | N/A | My daughter came home from school the other night more than a little fretful about the tornadoes that caused so much damage in Weld County. Apparently, many of her schoolmates had spent the afternoon talking about the homes that had been destroyed, and it was more than her six-year-old mind could process. So she spent much of the evening asking my husband and me lots and lots of questions. She wanted to know what our plan was if we were ever in a tornado, where we would go, what would happen to our house, and of course, what would happen to her toys. As we tried to allay her concerns and reassure her that all was well, she again asked my husband what would happen if our home was damaged in a tornado. He patiently explained to her that our family has insurance to help in situations like this, and that we would likely buy a new home to live in. At this, she looked at both of us and said, "But Dad, I thought you and Mom were trying to pay stuff off?"
Please understand that my husband and I don't typically have financial discussions in front of our kids, and yet my daughter had somehow picked up on the fact that we are indeed focusing a lot of energy on achieving a debt-free life. With this simple question from my daughter, I was reminded yet again thatparents. All of our financial actions - how we talk about money, spend money, save money – it all sets the stage for the financial decisions our children will make as they grow. And so I find myself questioning, yet again, the financial "messages" I am sending to my children, intentionally or otherwise. Every time I use my debit card to pay for groceries, every time I pay more than the scheduled amount on our student loans, every time I complain about the price of gasoline, and yes, every time I stop at Starbucks for a latte, what are my children learning from me? |

Hi everyone..This past weekend I experienced terrible sharp pain and a spasms in the same area. It is just to the lower, right of where my stoma. I am just a little over two weeks post surgery. I know that I will still experience pain at this time, but this sharp pain and the spasms are new since the surgery. I was wondering if anyone else has experineced this. I am going to call my doctor about it. But hearing from someone that has had this would help me out too. Thanks!
Wow!So this is gas pains?
Oh yeah, I remember those post-surgery gas pains well, and they were the worst!I'm sorry you're having them. I hope the Gas-X helps and try to avoid any foods that are known to cause gas (like onions, cabbage, beans, broccoli, etc.) and carbonated beverages. Hope you feel better soon!
Thanks for your responses..so this gets better?I mean the gas pains. I am eating very bland and trying to add foods a little at a time. I had some chicken soup with carrots and the carrots were all collected around my stoma!and in the bag. They soup had only small pieces of carrots so I was surprised that I didnt digest it. I have to get used to which foods cause problems for me such as gas and digesting. But its only been a few weeks so I am sure I will adjust. thanks again everyone..you are all awesome.. I dont know what I would do without this group!
yes the gas does get much better!you will still get it with some things, i ate two bowls of frosted flakes the other day, well two in one day, and i had horrible gas! |

en | N/A | N/A | and you’d talk about how they should have done it in December. You might benefit from taking a break for a few days and wait until opening day ehen the roster is all done so you don’t have to deal with the stress of late offseason acquisitions.
So depending on pitchers cut by Houston and Philadelphia is a good strategy? You don’t sound like an adult.
Being reactive and hoping someone takes care of you is a child’s philosophy. Adults see a problem and solves the issue. The Angels have not addressed this issue. Praying and hoping is no way adults address issues.
As far as Hader and Chapman, you’re being absurd. Of course you have to distort what I’ve been writing because I’ve been spot on four the last four months and people like you have been dead wrong.
I think Halo11Fan has a good point. I thought he overreacted to the Claudio signing and said so at the time, but that was because I thought the Angels were going to get another solid major league bullpen piece, and they didn’t. They came into spring training with three bullpen spots up for grabs, and that’s too many. The situation they found themselves in when Pena went down and Buttrey didn’t make the team was very foreseeable. So the Angels find themselves scrambling to sign guys who couldn’t make other teams this spring. Maybe Cishek and Watson are still good, maybe they’re not; time will tell on that. As an Angels fan, I hope they are. I think Perry’s first winter as a GM is a mixed bag, but he did make some good moves and will hopefully grow into the job as he continues to gain experience.
SoCal. I think they’ll find some pieces, but they will throw a half dozen games away figuring out who can do the job and who can’t.
This was his plan. Other teams rejects. This has been the Angel plan for the last decade… it hasn’t worked.
How many times does something have to blow up before you realize it’s not workfool someone ten times, ask them how the Angels are doing because they have to be Angel fans.
Halo11 – ”go, not two days before opening day.
Still gonna need some SP. but props to the angels for being active now rather than just hoping for the best
playin the long game. it may work out.
Joe will pitch Cishek until his arm falls off. It’s happened before.
I think this gives the Angels options and depth. Sandoval can go to AAA and work as a starter. If Watson or Claudio get hurt/suck he’s there.
Claudio can really be limited to lefty situations a lot more. Even with the stupid three batter thing.
Cishek is usually a ground ball pitcher, hopefully he can that again. If he’s not, Slegers and Faria are waiting.
It meant nothing? I told you what it meant. I was proven right, and you still say I was wrong. You people kill me.
How much is Pettite making? As far as five million, they didn’t have to spend that, but having a 20o million dollar payroll and not spending five million to help solidify a position that you are in desperate need is pretty darn stupid.
Scrapping the bottom of the barrel isn’t going to help this team our pitching is lost at sea awful
Thank you Angels. I also called this on the Noe signing comments section. Needed to happen. Let Rodriguez get stretched back out in the minors and not sure if Slegers still has options otherwise it might be Sandoval who gets sent down to do the same.
I like it. With all the quantity they should have 4 dependable guys emerge. Hang around. Reevaluate at the deadline.
Your dream GM. They will find some dependable guys, after they throw away a half dozen wins. They do this every year. It’s a bad strategy.

en | N/A | N/A | Water district advocates call for governor to restore budget cuts
Restoring millions slashed fromwould help boost jobs, tourism and the environment, according to a coalition of former agency leaders.
Twenty former board members from Florida's five water management district's this week sent a letter to Gov. Rick Scott calling on him to support sending more money to the agencies that guard against flooding, protect water supplies and lead environmental restoration.
That 11 saw its budget cut by more than $100 million.
That was a 30 percent cutback that resulted in more than 100 layoffs and raised concerns in the environmental community about more delays for Everglades restoration efforts.
The governor's administration contends that budget cuts at the water management districts haven't deterred efforts to protect water supplies, lead environmental restoration and guard against flooding.
"As a result of more fiscally responsible practices, the districts have become better stewards of the tax dollars they receive and are better able to support their core missions," said Patrick Gillespiefive water management districts.
The governor, both as a candidate and after getting elected in 2010, has supported cutting water district spending.
The Florida Legislature in 2011 required deep spending cuts the water management districts by capping allowable tax rates and putting new limits on land purchases and other spending.
This year, the Legislature eased those tax rate caps, but didn't return all of the money cut from the districts.
Those budget cuts have gone too far, according to the letter from the former district board members. Foadded their names to the letter included Eric Buermann, John Flanigan, Allan Milledge and Nathaniel Reed.
"In a region susceptible to great extremes in weather — from hurricanes and floods to droughts, our 18.8 million residents and businesses rely on water management districts to effectively manage flooding and to ensure abundant water supply for their livelihoods and recreation," the letter said.
Even after last year's deep cut, property taxes would take a slight dip in the nearly $600 million budget's board — appointed by the governor — earlier this month gave initial approval to a new property tax rate that would be about 43 cents per $1,000 of taxable property value.
The final budget vote is Tuesday. |

en | N/A | N/A | The first few times you have a bumper thrown for your dog, you’ll release them as soon as the bumper hits the ground, or even a little before. Again, we want to keep the motivation and excitement up from the beginning for this cool new game they’re playing!
Eventually your dog will be able to retrieve from longer and longer distances. In a hunt test, the marks are usually about 100 yards (a football field) from the line. In field trials, they can be two or three hundred yards!
Since you want to keep your dog’s motivation up, don’t do too many throws in one session. You definitely shouldn’t try to go from 50 feet to 100 yards in one day!You want to quit while your dog is still excited about retrieving, so I would probably keep your first session to maybe half a dozen throws.

en | N/A | N/A | With 237 forum pages under its belt, Osprey's MioPocket v3 retired with MioPocket 4.0 (Unlock for GPS devices) taking over. New features include a new shell that scales to any resolution, touch scrolling, an iPhone like lockscreen, 14 new games, etc...
Always on the lookout for user feedback, Osprey has just launched MioPocket Mini 4.0 (Simple Unlock for GPS Devices), which as its name implies is a stripped down version of MioPocket (fewer apps, dll's, etc...) but that retains its essential features (scaling, swiping, video and music player, etc...). Enjoy !
Updated June 2nd, 2009 - We've come a long way since the fist customization attempts were made on the Bluemedia and Mio AIOs in early 2005. Customizing being the action of gaining access to the operating system, WinCE in this case, to add new functionality such as movie players or Off-Road navigation software like OziCE.

Updated 12/27 - Thanks to yannco who shares the news of a firmware upgrade for the Magellan Roadmate 800 from v1.00 to v1.04 with quite a few interesting improvements. Click here for more details.
Updated 09/23 - Thanks to SELI for sharing the news that information had been posted on two new Magellan Roadmates, the Roadmate 360 and the Roadmate 800. While the 360 seems to be a 300 with continuous coverage of the USA, the 800 adds many new interesting features to the 760 that it will likely replace. New are an integrated battery for portability, MP3 music player and photo viewer and a "rounder" design. You can read about it and share comments in this thread of the Magellan forums......Posted 06/12 - Thanks to Tbird for catching the arrival of the new Roadmate 760 that comes after the RM500 and RM700... in February 2004 and the RM300 in September 2004.
New on board are:

en | N/A | N/A | What are love languages and why am I writing about quality time?
Now is your time to learn a little bit more about ways to show love to others who appreciate quality time!
Plot twist, if YOU are a person who speaks this love language, there are some tips on how you can add it to personalizing your self-care and self-love practices, too!
Gary Chapman is the marriage counselling mastermind behind the concept of the Five Love Languages. If you have never heard of this, it is time you do!
His book The Five Love Languages has multiple versions, been updated multiple times throughout the years and in a variety of languages. There is likely some truth behind his words since this is the case!
Don’t know which one you fall under? Click HERE to do one of the quizzes!
To generalize, the idea is that head over heels love typically has an expiry date of being “enough” of about 2 years. It’s a pattern that was seen repeatedly! Why? Because partners were not feeling loved!
The lovey dovey excitement begins to fade if our “love tanks” are not being filled and we EACH have different ways we want to be shown love. Funny enough, it is typically the way we show love too!
But wait… what if our loved ones don’t have the same love language? Welp, that is where Gary Chapman’s book or these blog posts come in! Although Gary’s focus is on couples or children, there is more information coming forward regarding people recommending the use of love languages toward self-care too!
This series of posts is going to include ways to show love to others AND ourselves using love languages! Keep reading to learn more about Quality Time.
I like to consider this love language as providing presence.
The author of the 5 Love Languages describes it as “giving someone your undivided attention.” This means, removing distractions and spending some one-on-one time if in a couple or isolated alone time if for self-care.
Focus your attention, do quality activities, and have quality conversations!
Quantity is not enough for someone who needs to be loved through quality time. Even more, it is hurtful if you promise quality time, but end up being distracted during the interaction.
If you have plans together, do your best to stick to it, otherwise you could be breaking your partner’s heart a little and over time, a lot.
Additionally, if you are getting a ton of alone time, but not utilizing it in a way that is meaningful for you, this can also be a problem! Sure, scrolling online is find sometimes. On the other hand, it helps if you can provide some quality self-love during that time too.
Here is where you will need to get a little creative or ask your loved one if there are any specific activities they would enjoy doing together. The following are a few examples though!
– Go for a walk together.
– Ask questions about something they are passionate about.
– Set time aside in your schedule for them.
– Plan dates and getaways.
– Plan relaxing activities.
– Plan active activities.
– Going out for a meal together.
– Play games together.
– Take some time every day to talk with minimal distraction.
This is not a one size fit all situation, so when it comes to providing self-love, you may need to get creative! Below are some ways to implement quality time for yourself, though!
Overscheduling yourself means little to no time for quality alone time. Make sure you find a bit of a balance to ensure you do not miss out on staying in tune with your needs!
There is no better way of getting to know ourselves, than using mindfulness. This can take on many forms such as breathing exercises, meditation, or journaling. Consider doing even just 10 minutes a day!
If you have some lone hobbies, perfect! If not, maybe consider experimenting with something new!
– Going on a walk, run or strength training.
– Listening to or writing music.
– Painting, drawing, colouring.
Better yet, try to get in the state of flow (Click HERE to learn more)!
Hopefully you’ve learned some new ways to show love to yourself and others who find quality time meaningful and wonderful!

en | N/A | N/A | BLU update has locked its users out of their own phones
Updates are usually a good thing as they can contain valuable security patches and OS upgrades. Updates aren't so great when they lock you out of your phone. That's what a recent BLU Android update is doing to owners of BLU mobile phones like the One Life X2. The company pushed an Over The Air (OTA) update to users and now many are complaining they can no longer access their devices.
After users applied the update and the phone rebooted, user passcodes, pins, and pattern locks no longer worked. Bleeping Computer has tested this with their own device and confirmed that it is a problem.
"I updated my BLU Life One X2 around 2 hours ago. It asks for a password in order to access Android," said one of the Blu users facing this problem. "I am completely locked out of my phone. Ever single password used is marked incorrect.
The company is aware of the issue and if users do not want to wait for a fix, they can reset the device to factory settings. While that will get you back into your phone, it also means you'll be losing your data in the process.
"We are currently investigating and trying to fix the issue, we apologize for the inconvenience."
The company says the bad update has been pulled so no more users should be affected by this. In the meantime, they are working on a new update to fix the problem. As such, it seems the only two options for BLU users now are to wait for an update or factory reset.

en | N/A | N/A | Mark Cuban is really jazzed about AI. Internet thing will be OK but I don't give a s**t,' " the investor and entrepreneur said at the Entertainment Summit at CES. Noting he's been taking classes to help him get a better handle on machine learning, Cuban enthusiastically suggested all business-minded brethren get schooled as well, or you will be a dinosaur very quickly," he said. "There's going to be AI haves and have-nots."
Twitter takes very seriously its role as a central hub for discourse among a certain world leader (who went unmentioned during the panel) and his counterparts. "World leaders made Twitter their go-to way to reach their constituents," said Matt Derella, Twitter global VP of customers. "It's an amazing thing that's happening, but it comes with a lot of responsibility…We think it's important when leaders are communicating that there is a record of what they said so the world can respond and create a pubic conversation about it." Why did the platform ban political ads as we moved into an election year?
NBCU this week announced a new structure to unite linear and digital ad inventory, but sales chief Linda Yaccarino didn't focus on that at the company's keynote yesterday. Instead the panel played out like a breezy episode of Today, with the show's West Coast anchor Natalie Morales hosting a broad-strokes conversation with Yaccarino and talent Terry Crews, Kate del Castillo, Ester Dean and Mandy Moore about technology's effect on the entertainment business. "The future is all about personalization," Yaccarino said, and the ability "to reach beyond the screen and form personal relationships with the right ad with the right content. That's when the magic happens."
Regarding the magic of streaming, Crews noted of his show Brooklyn Nine-Nine, "The truth is, we will probably be more popular in 15 years than we are right now. That's what streaming is doing, because every new generation can binge-watch for years to come."
The future is bright for ad-supported streaming services, according to Andre Swanston, CEO of Tru Optik. "People have a false sense that there is consumer loyalty to SVOD services. There is not, especially when consumers have access to free quality content when they turn on their connected TVs," he told Cynopsis at CES. Citing Viacom's purchase of Pluto TV as a "pivotal moment that signified the importance of AVOD in media companies streaming services," Swanston said, "As consumers continue to the cut the cord ands, AVOD will not only survive, it will thrive while the SVOD market continues to become oversaturated."
Audio is in the spotlight this year. Why now, and what promise does audio hold for 2020 and beyond?

If you're sitting in the living room—and that's where 80 percent of Hulu viewing happens, on a large screen—almost always the person also has their mobile device in their hand, or some sort of voice-activated device in the living room.

Wayne and Harold Smith Construction Ltd. </s> That’s what you get for trying to sound intelligent when you could have settled with the truth that, you don’t know.
Am I called to go somewhere?
Am I called to find a new job because I feel like God is not glorified where I’m at?
Am I called to invest in stocks?
First, suppose you’re at home and your dad calls you. Stop right there. That’s basically what calling is - someone calls you.
Second, the instinctive reaction when he calls you is for you to go near him.
1) He has given you gifts – the necessary skillset – required to do the job well.
2) You enjoy it because you’re doing it with God and for Him and not to please other people.
3) It doesn’t replace Him in your heart as the source of your identity, purpose and fulfillment.
4) You don’t do it out of envy of other people.
5) You don’t do it at the expense of your other important roles and responsibilities.
6) You don’t care about what your title will be or what reward you will get as long as you get to do your function.
7) You remain grateful to Him. It’s all by His grace and kindness that you’re even able to join Him.
My answer is - you may aspire to but please just stop using the word calling. It has such permanence attached to it. It’s irrevocable. Don't associate it with things that you know won't last. And I think doing great things for Him.
Besides, if you are a child of God who cleans public toilets for a living, doing it with all of your heart for Him with a big smile on your face, you are giving God so much glory, joy and a much bigger smile than if you’ve gotten an impressive title that has consumed you and has replaced God in your heart.
Whatever you and God are doing together, your only calling is to stay near Him and enjoy Him. </s> The doubt i have is if i install this, will it affect the older development environment? already i have so many extensions installed with my VS 2012(purchased version).

The South West Norfolk MP announcedwould be backing Mr Johnson in the contest, which is due to kick off after Theresa May steps down as party leader on June 7.
Chief secretary to the Treasury Ms Truss is the first senior minister to publicly endorse former foreign secretary Mr Johnson - who, it was revealed on Wednesday, is facing court over misconduct allegations relating to the European referendum campaign in 2016.
In a piece for the Mail on Sunday Ms Truss announced she was joining Mr Johnson's team as his "policy tsar" and would be helping to devise his leadership manifesto.
She said the task of leaving the European Union, "deal or no deal", was not a task for the faint-hearted.
"It," she said.
"Boris has proven he's a winner, and now we need someone to win the battle of ideas. He's on the side of the challenger, the start-up, the sole trader."
She called Mr Johnson a "British freedom fighter" who could " and win young people over".
She added that she and former Mayor of London Mr Johnson shared a "deep optimism about the power of individual creativity and enterprise".
Ms Truss' announcement comes a week after she ruled herself out of the leadership contest, which currently has 12 hopefuls on the bill includingshe also said a Brexiteer was needed as the new Conservative leader - and while she did not pick a favourite she did say she would serve in a cabinet led by Mr Johnson. |
en | N/A | N/A | good, but two things go wrong in the consequent: first, you have an existential there with a conditional inside ... That is almost always bad news, and it is indeed bad news here. Second, your sentence is teying to quarantine anyone who lives in the dorm and has a friend (that is otherwise unrelated to the whole scenario). instead, you need to quanrantine anyone with a friend that lives in the dorm. So it is the friend that lives in the dorm, but the person to be quarantined need not live in the dorm. here is what you get:
$\exists x (D(x) \land M(x)) \rightarrow \forall y (\exists z (D(z) \land F(y,z)) \rightarrow Q(y))$
c. Antecedent should just be $\forall x \neg F(x)$... I.e the rst of the sentence is not within the scope of the $\forall x$. but the art about tutoring someone with a D does need to be in the scope of the $\forall y$. So:
$\forall x \neg F(x) \rightarrow \forall y (A(y) \rightarrow \exists z (D(z) \land T(y,z)))$
d. You can't use a comma here (same problem in e.). Also, your sentence is trying to say that Jones is the only one that can do it, i.e. that if there is anyone that can do it, then that person must be Jones, but the English sentence is saying instead that if there is one person that can do it, then it is Jones (persumably because because Jones is 'most capable' of anyone) ... But this does not rule out that there can be multiple eopl that can do it. So, instead you want:
$\exists x D(x) \rightarrow D(jones)$
e. $\forall x (D(jones) \rightarrow D(x))$ works, but I think a bit more readable is:
$D(jones) \rightarrow \forall x D(x)$
</s> Q: Applying to math graduate school out of law school graduate-level complex analysis, mathematical logic, point-set topology, etc. I chickened out of applying to math graduate programs because I was intimidated by my peers and didn't think I had a shot at a top program. I wasn't an Olympiad winner, didn't do research, etc. I'm now realizing that was a mistake. In retrospect, while I wasn't about to get into MIT or anything, I definitely should've given graduate school applications a meaningful shot before chickening out.

</s> Q: What does f(•) mean? I'm reading the calculus test's answers and the professor wrote that representing the function. I wonder what the dot inside means.
"Given a function $F(x) = \frac{x^2+ 1}{x^2-1} \ , F$(•)
A: If $A$ and $B$ are sets we may define "single variable" functions between $A$ and $B$ as subsets of $A\times B$. Clearly this function is itself a set, but the elementary notation $f(x)$ to denote a function is also used for the evaluation of $f$ at $x$ (an element of $B$) rather than the function itself (a subset of $A\times B$). Merely saying $f:A\rightarrow B$ however leaves the number of arguments $f$ takes into doubt. $f(\cdot)$ is a way specifying there is a single argument while not confusing $f$ with some value in its range.
Normal people write it like this "f(x)".

</s> Q: Induction proof combination How would you solve the proof of the sum of $kC(n,k) = n2^{n-1}$ by induction?
It is for an exam for a discrete math class.
A: you can use this known formula $2^n$ = sum of C(n,k) | k=0 to k=n .
you should prove that sum of $kC(n,k) = n2^{n-1}/(n-k+1)$
not $kC(n,k) = n2^{n-1}$ because it is false.
</s> Q: Find the number of common, odd positive divisors of 27, 900 & 20, 700. Question as in title,
I prime factorized and got that the common factor is $2^2\cdot3^2\cdot5^2$, then my notes from the relevant lecture simply go on to a solution implied from that step that the number of common odd positive divisors = $(2+1)(2+1)=9$. How the one leads to the other is where I've fallen down.
A: Factorize $27{,}900$ and $20{,}700$ :
For their common odd divisors ; you need total number of divisors of $3^2 \times 5^2$.
For counting number of divisors of $3^2 \times 5^2$, you can have $0 , 1$ or $2$ power of $3$ from $3^2$. Hence three ways to chose exponent of $3$ in the common divisor. Similarly for exponent of $5$.
Therefore we have : $3 \times 3 = 9$ total number of common, odd positive divisors of $27{,}900$ & $20{,}700$.
In general, for exponent $\alpha$ of prime $p$ in a number, you'll have $\alpha+1$ ways to select an exponent of $p$ in the divisor.
A: Alternative hint (without factoring the two numbers):
*determine $\gcd(27900,20700)=900$ using the Euclidean algorithm for example; |

1 year project in 5 minutes
While Florian is in Paris as a kids carer for a group of teens, I stubble upon an advertisement for a wagon and a horse.
We are not psychologically ready and have neither the funds nor a place to accommodate this horse over one ton. So as always, we trust the universe and send a message. We believe in !
In the meantime, we got to met Hervanne and Greg, the owners of the local equestrian center.
Not only do they have room for Zorba, our futur percheron horse, but they are eager to help the project. We were to realize that they were not to provide only some help but we were to receive all their love, make new friends and get motivations and logistical support.
The money collected allows us to spare and add up to what we managed to out aside the past two years.
We will keep selling our good all along 2017 to finance the works to be done one the wagon and care for our horse.
Zorba the percheron horse arrived in december 2016, its wagon in January 2017.
We rented a horse van and went to get Zorba all the up to Britanny. Franck Boileau.
They welcomed us and our horse with open arms. We try to help them as much as we can, whenever our construction planning permits it.
We find a “forestier” pulling horse collar thanks to Stéphane in Dordogne.
February the 18th, we organised the 1st Roulopa party. Bruno joins us with his wagon pulled by a tractor. The party advertisment is also published by the ecologist mouvement EELV.
At least 30 people turned out to share a meal, discover our project and listen to an improvised singing session live from the wagon front plateform.
February the 28th, Florian helps the equestrian centre to organise a treasure hunt. One of the many ways we can provide a helping hand.
Most of the wood work and painting is done with the help of Jean-Yves and Pascale . The wagon is changing fast! prometteur.
Mars 25th, we are lucky enough to meet Corentin. Corentin Bourreau, masseur stretcher and horse physiotherapist.
He was keen on showing us all the tricks to strectching a pulling horse without harming your back.
May the 8th, our neighbours helped us make a pulling hitch for the wagon. This allows us to transport the caravan behind our van.
May the 15th, Roulopa officially become a non profit organization. This is a crucial step for us as it allows us to apply for festivals or similar events. It wil also prove to be the only legal status suitable for our adventure.
May the 19th and 20th, we organise a festival around the annual festival at home.
Although a little less crowded than usual, all our friends loved the project and helped us by being a few items or donating. They also handpainted presentation boards for futur festivals to come.
We were invited to apply for several festivals to promote our project and boost our egos 😉
By the end of June, Florian’s gamebrarian activity finds a happy end after 4 years of hard work bringing games from one rural village to another (ludothèque itinérante « Bonne Pioche »).
On the 2nd, we help organise the annual equestrian centre party. We set up and improvised a small parade with Zorba and a couple of musician friends as well as a 15 min circus show based on the children story that was written for us.
We learned horse pulling gradually after our harness makers had worked modifying our equipment.
From the 20th to the 24th of July, the « Rêve de l’Aborigène festival» (79) accepted to present our project. We were glad to show Jean-François Castel’s documentary about the modern gypsy life and welcome some of the 5600 festival friends.
Let’s not forget our encouter with the Tit B’Libre group who were demonstrating their flex-yourte designs
Without the special deal the transporter William prestige all of this would not have been possible. To pay him bakc, we painted little rocks and sold them at a free price, anyone could give what he thought was fair or paint 5 more stones. More than 100€ were collected!

en | N/A | N/A | Gear cutting tooling is the process of creating or machining gears. Since toothed gears are essential parts of mechanical power transmission, it was necessary to develop complex instruments and processes in order to accurately fabricate them.
Gears are made using machining, powder metallurgy, casting, stamping, and stamping. Hobbling, broaching, milling, and grinding are among the most common and precise ways to make gears.
Broaching is an useful method for creating internal gears and splines. Each part requires a different broaching tool in order to provide the appropriate results. With rotary broaching, gears can be made on any CNC lathe, milling machine, machining center, or other turning machine, which is a benefit.
Hobbling is a quick and efficient method used in the manufacturing of gear., also referred to as a hob, to carve teeth onto blanks. Despite being ideal for enormous production, this approach works well for medium to high output due to its speed.
On a CNC gear hobbing machine, a gear blank and hob are typically continuously spun to produce all of the gear teeth in the blank. The straight, helical, bevel, face, crown, and chamfering gear hobing methods stand out. It is the method for creating gears that is the most precise and accurate.
In this procedure, a form cutter on a milling machine is used to cut the gears. These gear shaper cutters travel axially to mako revolve to the next position. The form cutter begins cutting the next tooth when the blank is rotated once more, and so on until all of the teeth have been carved out of the blank.
A different way to make gears is by grinding. During gear grinding, surface material on the gear blank is removed through friction. To do this, remove extra material from the gear quickly b.
This is the first method of making gears, in which the gear is cut by placing a gear blank in the shaper. With this method, the cutting tool is shaped to resemble a tooth. The other is the pinion-shaped cutter for the gear shaper machine. It is used when a gear-shaped cutter is used to cut a gear blank.
The axes of rotation for the cutter and blank should be parallel to one another. This technology is applicable to both low and high production levels. Clutch teeth, splines, and other subpar gears are typically produced using the gear shaping procedure in conjunction with gear cutting.
A single point cutting tool is utilized in this process to manufacture a gear tooth profile. Then, using a temple whose profile matches the shape of the gear tooth bring cut, the tool is reversed and made to follow a guide path.
As I mentioned earlier,techniques are built on the principle that any two gears will mesh if they have the same pitch, ideal helix angle, ideal tooth depth, and ideal thickness. |

en | N/A | N/A | Turpentine Babycino Pen A Breakup Anthem In Debut Single 'Write A Song Sound Shit' | lifewithoutandy
Words by Amar Gera September 21, 2022
Contrary to the title, the song is far from shit…
Turpentine Babycino are coming through with the ultimate breakup record this Wednesday, the Novacastrian four-piece releasing their latest heater, ‘Write A Song Sound Shit’. Originating from the steel city of Newcastle, the band’s sound is defined by unabashed punk and ’90s fuzz, and their new tune is proof that rock is anything but dead.
Driven forth by fiery guitar lines and chaotic drums, the heater is rife with the quintessential attitude inherent to the Newy music scene. Singer Georgie Winchester’s vocals are on fire in this cut as well, singing about the inevitable spiral we’ve all endured after a failed relationship with equal measures of emotion and grit, particularly on lines like, “Wake up, forget/Do stuff, I regret”.
The video for the record is equally as frenzied as the sonics, with the visuals following the four-piece as they throw a huge party in their share house, in a bid to forget their lost loves. We’re treated to plenty of scenes from the festivities as well, with the various members of the band shown skulling beers, swapping outfits and even face planting into cakes in a series of hazy flashbacks. It’s definitely reminiscent of those typical parties you’d see in American college films, except through an Aussie lens that’s far closer to home.
Speaking on the meaning behind the record, the band explain, “Write A Song Sounds Shit’ is about the aftermath of a break-up. Big parties, loud music, long nights and writing shitty break-up songs are often on the cards to help ‘forget’ about an ex”, they explain. “As a song-writer it’s easy to dismiss a great song due to self doubt and judgment and after a break-up, these insecurities are heightened.”
“‘Write A Song Sounds Shit’ is that shitty break-up song that nobody’s supposed to hear, except people will this time.”
It’s another reminder of the talent brewing within Newy’s music scene, along with the power of a good (or shit) breakup song. Be sure to buy/stream Turpentine Babycino’s new single ‘Write A Song Sound Shit’ here and check out their upcoming tour dates below. |
en | N/A | N/A | Melbourne Victory head coach Kevin Muscat described his team's win over Kawasaki Frontale as a proud night for the club.
The result moved Victory onto five points from four games in Group F, boosting its chances of progression.
"If you don't get in the ring, you don't get bruised. I'm in the ring and along the way, I'll take some bruises and that's part and parcel. I've got a group of players who believe in what we're trying to do. The debate on selection, that can go on forever and it still goes on in near enough every team so the fact that tonight we happen to get a win, does that mean I get everything right and when we don't win, does that mean I get everything wrong?"
"No-one is happy when they come off. I'm more interesting about, at that point in time, what the ones who come on are going to do. Kenny (Athiu) done very, very well prior to the goal he played Kosta in and it came back out and we started again. Chrissy (Theoharous) influenced the game, contributed to the game and Josh Hope was great. He didn't show any fear, playing with a lot of freedom so the's required for the team and that's what I'm interested in more." |

en | N/A | N/A | The WPIAL softball playoffs have arrived. After another exciting spring regular season, 80 teams through District 7's six classifications are set to compete for a WPIAL title.
Once again, the softball championships will be held, from June 1-2.
Despite saying goodbye to a loaded senior class that helped capture a WPIAL title in 2021, Bethel Park will still be a threat this postseason. Seniors Sandra Soltes and Ali Sniegocki have been a pair of big bats that have helped the Blackhawks return to the playoffs. The two will be playing softball at Pitt and Holy Cross, respectively, next spring.
First-year coach Tina Madison will look to lead her team back to the top. Prior to Bethel Park taking home the crown last season, the Spartans claimed the last five championships in the WPIAL's highest classification. Starting pitcher Riley Miller is a player to watch, showing the ability to impact a game both on the mound and at the plate.
ms happen to have the best pitcher in Class 6A with senior Gabriella Aughton. The Boston College commit is dominant on the mound and has the ability to keep Pine-Richland in any contest.
No. 7 North Allegheny vs. No. 10 Peters Township at West Mifflin High School, 5 p.m.
No. 8 Norwin vs. No. 9 Baldwin at West Mifflin High School, 3 p.m.
After winning their first WPIAL title since 2000 last spring, the Indians will look to win it again in 2022. While a few key players are gone, North Hills still has senior and Holy Cross commit Sophia Roncone on the mound. In addition to Roncone, Maria Chutko and Kassidy Wittig are a pair of potent sluggers who make the Indians a dangerous squad.
Last season, Armstrong reached the PIAA final while getting revenge against North Hills along the way. This year, it's the Riverhawks who'll have a target on their backs. The quartet of Isabella Atherton, Mackenzie Egley, Emma Paul, and Jenna Clontz ― who all gained huge postseason experience in 2021 ― will make them a tough club to beat.
Never doubt Mindi McFate in the WPIAL postseason. Coming off an unexpected first-round exit last spring, West Allegheny has a loaded lineup of returning starters that make them a perfect candidate to play spoiler. Leading the charge for the Indians will be sisters Addy and Elly Vicari-Baker, who've taken major steps since busting onto the scene last year as freshmen.
No. 1 Armstrong vs. No. 16 Hampton at Mars High School, 3 p.m.
No. 2 Penn-Trafford vs. No. 15 Plum at Norwin High School, 5 p.m.
No. 3 Trinity vs. No. 14 Connellsville at Waynesburg University , 5 p.m.

No. 5 West Allegheny vs. No. 12 Grater Latrobe at North Allegheny High School, 6 p.m.
No. 6 Fox Chapel vs. No. 11 Chartiers Valley at Sewickley Academy, 5 p.m.
No. 7 Franklin Regional vs. No. 10 Shaler at Fox Chapel High School, 3 p.m.
No. 8 Thomas Jefferson vs. No. 9 Kiski Area at Plum High School, 5 p.m.
Beaver County residents all know the story of the 2021 Beaver Area Bobcats by now. Amy Haggart's team became just the fifth WPIAL club to win a state title with a perfect record. A key group of five seniors from last year are gone, but that hasn't slowed down Beaver, which enters the playoffs unbeaten again.
No team will have a bigger target on its back than Beaver. MaxPreps currently has the Bobcats ranked No. 11 in the country as they start their postseason journey. Beaver features plenty of familiar faces from last year's team, including seniors Payton List ― a Virginia Tech commit and the 2021 Times Girls Athlete of the Year ― and Hanna Crowe. However, Haggart's squad has also received notable efforts this spring from freshman newcomers Sami Springman and Taylor Young.
The cliche goes, "it's hard to beat a team three times." If the Warriors can get past Freeport in the opening round, it will create an interesting quarterfinal matchup against the Bobcats. Beaver took home both contests in the regular season, but Central Valley put up a fight in each of them. The Warriors are a long shot, but with talents like Abigail Borello, Kylie Heid and Macy Littler, perhaps they can make things interesting.
No. 4 Yough vs. No. 13 Blackhawk at Plum High School, 3 p.m.
No. 5 Montour vs. No. 12 Knoch at North Allegheny High School, 3 p.m.
No. 6 Belle Vernon vs. No. 11 New Castle at Plum High School, 5 p.m.
No. 7 Highlands vs. No. 10 West Mifflin at Norwin High School, 3 p.m.
No. 8 Freeport vs. No. 9 Central Valley at Mars High School, 5 p.m.
Similar to Beaver, Mt. Pleasant also took home WPIAL and PIAA titles last spring. However, the Vikings are a much different team in 2021. A younger lineup has Mt. Pleasant looking to play spoiler, rather than its normal status as the favorite. However, being overlooked could be just what the Vikings need to go on another run.
The Antelopes have perhaps been the most dominant team in Class 3A, notching a handful of impressive wins, including a sweep against Ellwood City. Senior Meghan Fissore and sophomores Leah Kuban and Aliva Lantzy are three players to watch.
Aside from when they take the field against Avonworth, the Wolverines have been solid in 2022 thanks to a strong returning cast from last year's club, which reached the WPIAL final. What makes Gary Rozanski's team dangerous is the depth in his lineup, which features four players ― Kyla Servick, Aliya Garroway, Julia Nardone and Angie Nardone ― hitting well over .400.
No. 4 Ellwood City vs. No. 13 Beaver Falls at Seneca Valley High School, 4 p.m.
No. 5 Southmoreland vs. No. 12 Derry at Norwin High School, 3 p.m.
No. 6 Waynesburg Central vs. No. 11 South Park at Trinity High School, 4 p.m.
No. 7 Valley vs. No. 10 Keystone Oaks at Plum High School, 3 p.m.
No. 8 Mt. Pleasant vs. No. 9 North Catholic at Fox Chapel High School, 5 p.m.
Sophomores Autumn Boyd and Addie Deal have allowed Laurel to remain competitive, but the Spartans are far from the power that they were last season when they captured the program's third straight WPIAL crown. In order to make it four in a row, Laurel will need some big efforts from some new faces.
Both Neshannock and Frazier enter the Class 2A postseason unbeaten, but the Commodores get the extra edge because of their postseason experience. After reaching the WPIAL semifinals and the PIAA postseason, look for Frazier to take the next step in 2022. Junior Jensyn Hartman is perhaps the top athlete in the bracket, known for her abilities both as a catcher and on the volleyball court.
Seven returning starters from last year's postseason team have all shown major growth for the Buccaneers, who captured a Section 1-2A crown this year. Chartiers-Houston has notched a few impressive wins over quality opponents, including South Allegheny and Valley, who both reached the playoffs in Class 3A.
No. 1 Neshannock vs. No. 16 Fort Cherry / No. 17 Carlynton at Sewickley Academy, 5 p.m.
No. 2 Frazier vs. No. 15 Apollo-Ridge at Penn-Trafford High School, 5 p.m.
No. 3 Ligonier Valley vs. No. 14 Bentworth at Norwin High School, 5 p.m.
No. 5. Laurel vs. No. 12 Burgettstown at North Allegheny High School, 5 p.m.
No. 6 OLSH vs. No. 11 Mohawk at Mars High School, 3 p.m.
No. 7 Seton LaSalle vs. No. 10 Carmichaels at Trinity High School, 4 p.m.
No. 8 Charleroi vs. No. 9 Serra Catholic at Trinity High School, 6 p.m.
* No. 16 Fort Cherry vs. No. 17 Carlynton at Trinity High School, Monday at 4 p.m.
Only three teams have won five straight WPIAL softball titles, and West Greene became one of them in 2021. Once again, the Pioneers look to have a solid shot at the District 7 crown, boasting a loaded lineup that includes stars London Whipkey and Katie Lampe.
West Greene has to lose sometime, right? Maybe Union will be the team to make it happen this year. The Scotties lost just three games this year, all to teams in higher classifications. Sophomore Mallory Gorgacz is a player who can change a game anytime she steps to the plate, entering the postseason with a .412 batting average and four home runs.
The Rams just missed the WPIAL finals and state playoffs last year and will look to go on another big run this spring. Seniors Madi Fischer, Laney Lewis, and Sage Tellish have been big producers in all areas of the game. Known as a team for their aggressiveness on the bases, don't be shocked if South Side pulls off a major upset in Class 1A.
No. 6 Leechburg vs. No. 11 Rochester at Mars High School, 5 p.m.
No. 7 Jefferson-Morgan vs. No. 10 Saint Joseph at Trinity High School, 6 p.m.

en | N/A | N/A | Systems and computer networks work with both software and hardware components to deliver an output. But this setup has to rely on physical connection existing between two or more computers, and is very important when users want to sync individual computers to enable them share files.
When cable systems are combined with specialized software applications and equipment that manage data traffic, users can transfer resources effectively. Through this setup, they can also connect printers and even send mails electronically.
LANs or Local Area Networks are the most commonly used computer networks today. LANs work in a single geographic location such as inside office suites, buildings or homes. On the other hand, WANs or Wide Area Networks span across a large geographic area, thanks to the existing phone lines and satellite links.
In general, computer networks can be categorized in several other ways. For example, you can refer to a network based on what circuit board the computer system is using to connect to another computer. Token Ring and Ethernet are the most popular connections under this category.
What’s more, computer networks can be categorized based on how they package data in readiness for transmission through cables. In this category, it is common to hear phrases such as TCP/IP or even IPX/SPX.
Wireless networks and how they connect computer systems
There are many categories of wireless networks used to establish a connection between computers. For example, it is possible to create a connection out of terrestrial microwaves, communication satellite, cellular systems, LANs and even Bluetooth.
Today, recent technologies have seen systems and computer networks replacing what used to be called Ethernet. But even with the advancement in network technologies, the economic advantages that come with some traditional setups can’t be downplayed.
Furthermore, it is important to note that networks can be created through the use of multiple inter-connections referred to as network topologies. A network topology is created based on the need that the network is intended to fulfill.
What computer systems and networks have achieved so far
Traditionally, companies spent a significant chunk of their budget to ensure that every employee was equipped with a computer, a printer and other electronic devices that were used with a computer. It was a cost they had to incur separately to ensure that their offices were well equipped with resources needed to get the business running.
These days, technological advancement has seen a network of computer systems being configured together so as to allow employees share hardware and software within the same server. Today, a single printer will effortlessly serve the printing needs of an entire office, especially if it’s a heavy-duty one.
Modern systems and computer networks have made it possible to secure data and only release it to people who are authorized to use or manipulate it. Because of this, employees no longer have to store, process or utilize information in their own way. In fact, this style of working with computer systems was not reliable since it introduced errors, thus corrupting the data in the process.
Data centralization has made it possible for administrators to hold information in a safe way, only releasing it to the people who are authorized to read, change or share it. Networks are also restricted based on permission or authority that an individual user has to access the content therein.
Consequently, this has brought about improved coordination and cooperation between various facets of departments in a business unit. Again, when computer systems and networks are configured correctly, it means businesses will be saving the cost of delivering that information through the web or through subscribing into some sort of communication software to facilitate this operation.
The topic of systems and computer networks is broad mainly because there are several components and computer peripherals involved in the setup. But so far, businesses have been able to configure their systems in a way that is beneficial to their needs where data storage and transfer is involved. Only time will tell if this setup will change in the future.

en | N/A | N/A | Firstly let’s look at “Love”
The modern definition of love = being nice to people, caring for people, and not hurting people.
But, is this the true definition of love and why have we developed this definition to the point that’s it’s accepted universally?
If this is the definition you use for love then you will automatically live in the commandments …
…”Thou shalt be nice to me because I’m nice to you”; or
…”If I help you then you must help me”; or
…”If I say sorry you must forgive me”.
In other words, ‘if you’re not nice to me, then you’re wrong and I don’t have to be nice to you’.
This will be the core of your thinking and defence against someone’s un-niceness towards you, and if you are going to be nice you can’t let yourself believe that you have un-nice feelings towards people, so you sub-consciously learn to not expose the feelings.
This definition of love sounds right but it’s a trick … it’s manipulated by the commandments of men (Matthew 15:8,9), not the commandments of God.
God’s definition of love = keep my commandments 1John 2:3-5, 1 John 5:3, 2 John 6
Sin is the breaking of the law (1 John 3:4), and the expression of love towards God is the keeping of the law. The law is not dead as the modern church teaches. You’ll see the truth in Matthew 5:17-19 [check the old versions of the bible, not the man-manipulated modern ones, and check the link to the ten spiritual laws].
You don’t keep the law out of legalistic bondage; you keep them because you love God. So if you don’t keep them as God Himself instructs, you show that you love yourself, not God, and the modern church has taken the con of false love because it suits its agenda of Laodicean worldliness and its comforts.
God’s Tenth Commandment is “thou shalt not covet”. In other words, you must not wish your position better than your neighbour’s; you must not envy your neighbour’s good fortune or anything that is your neighbour’s.
All the commandments can be summarised into God 1st and treat your neighbour as you would like him to treat you. It doesn’t say that your neighbour is to treat you the way you would like to be treated.
The Ten Commandments are the commandments of life (Matthew 19:17). The modern commandment sounds right but it’s the commandment of death.
It’s easy to use niceness to camouflage your real inner heart
Underneath the modern definition of love is the hidden agenda of self-preservation and self-elevation … I’ll be nice so you will like me and be nice back.
You can check that’s the real agenda by being un-nice to someone and see what happens.
This man-made definition of love is the easy way because it obligates people to have to like me and it promotes me within my people-group. The fact is, it’s easy because it comes automatically; it’s built in to our souls … we’re born thinking about what’s best for ourselves, but we have to look like we are thinking what’s best for others.
The question that will expose the real you
A better question to expose what’s really happening deep in your heart between you and your neighbour is … who’s getting the better deal?
Envy knows who’s getting a better deal and pride promotes that it has the better deal, and the inbuilt human nature hates being the one who misses out on the deal, and the inbuilt human nature wants to show-off that it has the best deal over everyone else.
In Genesis 3, Satan tricked Eve into thinking God was withholding a better deal from them. Once you too listen to the same voice you too will be manipulated by the spirit of Satan and totally unaware of the deception you have fallen into. All you’ll be able to see is the unfairness of the deal that they got instead of you. That’s what happened in Luke 15 when the prodigal’s brother objected to the prodigal getting the deal.
It also happened in Joseph’s family dynamics; in Jesus’ family dynamics; in David’s family dynamics, and in the disciples dynamics and it’s happening right now in your own family’s dynamics.
In 1st Samuel we read the story of the oppression of Hannah by Peninnah.
When I ask people who had the better deal, some say Peninnah and some say Hannah. They choose Hannah because she was more loved and they choose Penninah because she had children.
You can’t warm to envy; it repels
From Peninnah’s perspective, Hannah had the deal with her husband and therefore she hated Hannah and tormented her. Peninnah is the one who is envious, not Hannah. Hannah’s hurting from the abuse, she’s not envious; she’s just desperate to be valued by God and her husband. Barrenness was seen as a curse from God. Hannah struggled with the mocking abuse but turned to the Lord, stopped her resistant mood and waited for God’s plan.
If you’re into deals , you’re into envy
If you’re into deals you’ll see it from your deal perspective, you’ll miss the envy and expose that you run on the commandment of niceness, and not God’s commandments. You’ll expose that the foundation of your life is envy, and not the love of God.
A genuine Christian is not into deals; they’re not into prosperity blessing; they’re not into telling God what and how He must do it for them; they’re into the will of God for God not for themselves, no matter what the deal; so they have no concerns if someone gets a better deal. In fact, they’ll probably rejoice.
If you’re into nice, then you’ll resist anyone that isn’t nice to you because it’s not fair, and right there you’ll come under the power of Satan’s spirit, and bitterness will flow in your heart no matter how nice you appear on the outside.
The story of Hannah isn’t about deals it’s about who will trust God whether they have the deal or not
Love for God isn’t based on deals; it’s based on trusting Him no matter what the deal and it’s expressed by choosing to live by His commandments and choosing to not covet the deal your neighbour has.
The fact is … envy of your neighbour proves you are not nice
No human being can escape this con until they seriously decide to switch commandments and be thankful that someone else got the deal instead of you, by trusting God’s higher plan.
In fact, until you do that you block salvation for yourself. Do you really think you can be saved by being nice when it’s built on a foundation of envy that someone else is liked more than you, or got a better deal than you?
The truth is that if you envy the deal that your neighbour has got you are being selfish, unkind and hurtful to your neighbour and contravening your own commandment of niceness. If you covet what your neighbour has, are you loving? And if you are proud that you have what your neighbour hasn’t, are you loving?
If you built your niceness on this foundation of envy you are building your life on sinking sand.
Because of the modern definition of love, homosexuals are promoting the validity of their sexual perversion because they are loving each other and not hurting anyone. The modern definition of love, condoned and promoted by the church, is propagating the fair justice for homosexuals to enjoy the same recognition as heterosexuals. Can’t you see that once you whittle away the value and position of God’s commandments you open up Pandora’s box and give licence for your community to devalue and mock the laws of Almighty God? If you can’t see that then know, like Eve, you are under the spell of Satan’s commandment of unfairness and niceness.
The spirit in us lusts to envy
In James 4:5 the Word of God declares that the spirit in us lusts to envy. If you’re waiting for God to come and fix it so you don’t do it then you are under the influence of the commandments of Satan, and telling God what His job is and justifying your position with your niceness. You are the one who’s responsible to keep God’s commandments; God will never make you do it, though He helps you keep them when you choose His commandments and give up the deal. You can’t make envy your foundation and say you are willing to keep His commandments; it’s a contradiction.
Thou shalt not …
Most Christians are complacent about respecting the Ten Commandments. You can see that by the way the church disrespects God’s Sabbath by merchandising with the world. They defend themselves by saying they try not to covet but they can’t stop it, and thus deduce that because they want to stop doing it but can’t that God will step in at some time and resolve it for them. In other words, they shift the responsibility onto God.
It sounds ok, but from an envy heart it’s actually telling God what He’s job is. It’s really blaming God that He hasn’t given them the willpower. The truth is, this Christian is a fake. In their heart they don’t really want to give up the benefits of the world; they prefer the value of man’s opinion of them than God’s.
The bible doesn’t say … don’t worry about keeping the commandments, God will sort it out for you. It says … you are the one who is responsible to keep them and if you don’t then you are responsible for the consequences.
In the modern church and the modern world, everyone measures love from the perspective of your niceness towards them; that’s why we try with our might to be nice and why we automatically judge people for not being nice to us. But God measures it from His Ten Commandments. They are different measuring systems and whilst you keep attached to the world’s you won’t see it.
Religion for the better deal
Most people are into religion for a better deal on earth and for the deal after earth. These people will never find Jesus. Jesus offers life through death to self, not deals. A genuine Christian serves Jesus with appreciation and gratitude; he loves Him for what He did for him at Calvary. A genuine Christian is not into deals.
The secret is …
… give up the deal and let your neighbour have it, and commit yourself to God’s measuring system. This will make you unpopular with men.
That’s love, and that’s the commandment of life but few will do it, and most think they have done it because they’re nice.

My experience with the EDGE Program has been nothing short of life-changing. Despite living it for many years, I’ve learned just how much our personal and professional lives intersect and affect everything we do. I’m confident I now have the tools to navigate my career and life journey as a mom and wife, so I can be the best version of me. Working alongside other professional women with such diverse backgrounds has been the greatest benefit. For one, I’ve expanded my professional network while making lifelong friends. Perhaps more importantly, before EDGE, I never realized just how much I had ompartmentalized my life and my experiences. With encouragement and guidance from my cohort members and our coach Christy Uffleman, I’ve found the courage to dig deep. In doing so, I’ve uncovered unconscious biases and other habits that were holding me back. I’ll be forever grateful for this experience and encourage other mid- career women to take the chance on this program. You never know how much room you have to grow until you look deep inside yourself.
~ Hollie Geitner, Director of Communications, Duquesne Light Company, 2019 Cohort
The EDGE program provided me with the tools to identify what's important to me in my career and find harmony with the life I want to lead. Christy Uffelman's coaching brings out the best in each of us and teaches us how to do the same for others. I feel more confident and ready to take on new opportunities due to Christy's influence and the talented women I've connected with through the program. My network of EDGE sisters has been incredibly supportive of me, both professionally and personally, with challenges during the pandemic. I'm incredibly thankful to have gone through this program and the lasting impact it has had on my life.
~ Teresa Shine, Delivery Manager, Software Engineering, Seegrid, 2019 Cohort
Soul-cleansing, validating, and empowering. The EDGE program forces you to do introspective work on all areas of your life, not just your professional skills and challenges. Participants are encouraged to bring their full authentic-selves, and in my experience Christy Uffelman, created the space to allow this vulnerability. She is genuine, raw and has a deep passion for helping others – her coaching style creates real connections between participants and those connections are the real value of the EDGE program.
~ Darah Kirstein , Asset Servicing & Digital Strategic Planning Lead, BNY Mellon, 2020 Cohort
I expected the EDGE program to be a memorable leadership development and professional networking opportunity. I did not expect EDGE to help me refocus and align my values with my professional and personal goals. Through sharing both my vulnerabilities and successes with my EDGE sisters, I have been able to broaden my involvement in the Pittsburgh region, advocate for myself more successfully at work, and navigate career challenges and opportunities with heart and with sophistication. The impact EDGE has had on me personally and my team at work has been undeniably positive. I am so grateful to have had this experience.
~ Connie Deighan Eaton, PMP, Account Technology Strategist, Microsoft, 2019 Cohort
Before entering the EDGE program I’d come to a crossroad and completely changed careers. After I made the shift I was uncertain of my future and began to feel stuck, again. The EDGE program became an amazing opportunity for me to focus on my strengths and was a safe space to do the inner work to become a better version of myself. My time with my cohorts developed my skills and challenged me to get clear. Our Facilitator created an environment for us to thrive personally and professionally. Coming from various backgrounds and experiences enhanced my growth in the program. I gained an amazing network through EDGE. I am no longer stuck, my outlook is clear and after another career shift I am thriving professionally.
~ Latifa Miller, Special Project Officer, Lash Group, 2018 Cohort
Before entering the program, I’d lost confidence in myself as a leader and couldn’t see any path of resurrection for myself or my business. I was literally stuck. When I first came to EDGE I thought I would get 1 or 2 nuggets of wisdom and maybe network with some professionals. What I got instead was so much more. What I got was a group of women who genuinely want to see me grow, a new of strategic positioning and a new confidence in myself. EDGE is so much more than a leadership course, it’s what I needed to succeed.
~ Meesha Gerhart, Founder & CEO, RedTree Web Design, 2018 Cohort
I am a more effective and empowered leader because of the EDGE program. The collective power of this group of women creates great opportunities for impact and growth.

en | N/A | N/A | Stena ferries sailing between Birkenhead and Belfast will use ‘AI captains’ to help their vessels navigate currents and find the most fuel efficient routes.
In 2019, the Swedish company collaborated with electronics giant Hitachi to trialt meet its carbon reduction ambitions. The trial was a success and the AI is now being rolled out across its European fleet.
In the past 12 months, Stena has introduced two new vessels, Stena Edda and Stena Embla, onto its route between the Twelve Quays terminal in Birkenhead on the Mersey and Belfast.
They are among Stena’s new generation of E-Flexer ferries which have the capacity to carry 1 000 hey will increase freight capacity on the Birkenhead to Belfast route by 20% and have replaced Stena Mersey and Stena Lagan.
The technology will assist the actual captain and the crew to assess a myriad of variables that determine how much fuel is used, including .
As skilled as the captains and crews are, making such calculations taking into account the different combinations is impossible to do manually. Stena hope the technology will reduce its annual fuel consumption by 2.5%.
Lars Carlsson, head of AI at Stena Line, added:
Much of the technology needed to reduce emissions in shipping already exists. The European Commission estimated that the industry could cut 75% of its emissions alone with existing technology.
The industry has been successful in cutting emissions by redesigning hulls and propellers to reduce drag. In the past five years many ships’ propellers have been fitted with “tip fins”, a redesigned propeller which significantly improves performance. |

As a general rule, salad and burpless varieties do not make outstanding pickles, except for relishes or bread-and-butter pickles where a softer texture is desirable. Garden-grown cucumbers should be refrigerated immediately upon harvesting, and at least within 24 hours. Refrigeration will minimize moisture loss, which is the key to crispness.

the first two are the pictures of his ramp. but just the steepness, is it too steep? obviously i will buy little pegs or whatever and glue them on for support for climbing it (i literally just grabbed a piece of scrap wood and put it there, its out of the cage now). but is too steep? should i just leave the ramp out? the shelf is 18" high off the ground. which isn't that tall but still. thanks!

Figuring out the best time to visit Northern New Jersey is usually dependent on what you plan to do during your trip. Summertime is filled with outdoor activities (hiking in High Point State Park, fishing at Greenwood Lake) and high temperatures, whereas the fall and spring seasons offer milder weather. Winter can produce cold weather — after all, you’re not far from New England — so your best bet is to make a visit in the other three seasons. During the summer, locals flock to the Jersey Shore for some much needed sun and sand, but expect large crowds if you go. Fall and spring afford pleasant temperatures that make exploring the area easier and more enjoyable. |
en | N/A | N/A | you name a few and why?
I look a lot at other peoples works, especially at books. Some of the big names: Martin Parr (esp. in my beginnings), Winogrand, William Klein, Daido Moriyama… and I think there’s of course influence from photographer friends. We have a lively photo scene in Berlin and I like the broad mix of styles here.
Later I wanted to get rid of old habits that made my photography too predictable for me. I wanted my photos to get more low-tech and more abstract – so in 2011 I photographed my first serious black and white film photographs. The new technique allowed me to get rid of a lot of boundaries that I had set to myself before. For instance, I started to mix my street photography with portraits of close friends. I would have never done things like that with my rather pure street photography approach that I had before.
– Your recent projects also have a very distinct look, quite grainy and gritty, and most of them take place at night. What attracts you about the night? And is this gritty style bound to the night?
– Are there any other specific lighting conditions you prefer to photograph in? Do you still shoot during the day?? n? Or a still different approach?
The latter. I don’t think much about projects while photographing. When I do think in projects, it is when I work with my photos to make a book, a photo film, an exhibition or whatever.
– How do you approach people? Are they aware of you taking pictures of them?
At the time I use a Fuji X100T and a Ricoh GR II for my night work. My favourite camera doesn’t exist. It would be a Lomo LC-A in digital.
– Do you have a favourite photo that you took?

If you don’t monitor your credit regularly, you should. For those who have great credit, it’s just another way to lift your spirits and remind you how awesome you are. If your credit isn’t great and you’re trying to raise your score, it’s important to check it to check your progress. Whatever your situation is, you may encounter the stunning situation in which your credit score drops for no reason.
Yorequires attention or remedy. “Credit scores fluctuate – that’s not unusual. So if your credit scores drop you don’t need to panic” suggests Gerri Detweiler, business credit expert with Nav. For various, normal reasons, your credit score may fluctuate a few points here and there.
In the case of a larger drop, however, you may have reason to take action. “If yours drops dramatically you want to look into it right away. A drop of 15-20 points or more could be due to higher balances reported on one or more of your credit cards – or it could indicate fraud or something negative impacting your credit scores” adds Detweiler.
When your credit score has taken a dive, it’s time to take a closer look and possibly take action.

en | N/A | N/A | The school nurse has just called you at work to come and pick Jimmy up at school immediately. With a somber voice, she informs you that he has lice. There’s silence on both ends of the line. The implication, you think, is that you’re not running a clean household.
Lice infestations are a common occurrence among children in any community setting, from that small elite nursery school to your overcrowded public school.
Lice do not show up or spread because of poor hygiene, nor do they prefer one type of hair over another. Anyone who has hair can get lice.
Lice are not noisy guests; the itching is minimal.
Lice do not live more than forty-eight hours if they can’t feed on somebody’s head.
Talk about sticky little creeps. While a single application of anti-lice shampoo was once all you needed to get rid of these bloodsuckers, in recent years the louse has become increasingly resistant to topical medications. Currently, in my opinion, the best way to a louse-free head is bug busting the nits by hand—just like our cousins the monkeys do it—in combination with lice shampoo. Removing nits manually, one by one, is a tedious and time-consuming process, but it works.
Sit Jimmy down in front of a favorite video. Wet his head, then part the hair into many small sections.
At the end of the first session, use an over-the-counter anti-lice lotion such as Nix.
Repeat the process a week later. Note, however, that because these shampoos dry the scalp, they may provoke mild itching, a symptom that could lead you to believe the lice are still thriving. And the flakiness caused by the drying can make surviving nits harder to hunt down.
Be prepared to fight several battles in your war against lice. Jimmy’s lice could be members of a resistant faction, or his head could become re-infested, since half the school has lice anyway. When a lice epidemic is declared, it will last a few months, unless the principal declares a state of emergency, closes the school for two weeks, and ensures that every kid’s head is inspected and treated.
Also, be aware that what seems like persisting lice may not be. Dandruff flakes may also look like nits. Persistent or recurrent infections can only be diagnosed with a live bug sighting. In any case, if Jimmy catches lice again, or has a resistant strain, don’t be the elephant scared of the little mouse. You’ve got to fight. In the name of victory, go back to the beginning of the chapter. |

en | N/A | N/A | Tree houses are iconic, especially in comics. However, they can be quite difficult to draw. As long as you know how to draw a tree, however, you'll be able to use this article to your full advantage.
How big do you want the tree?
What is the appearance of the tree?
What does the tree house look like?
What is the tree house made of?
How do people get to the tree house? Do they use a ladder? Climb the tree?
Draw the tree. Depending on the tree that you've selected, there will be different ways of drawing the tree.
If the tree is older, it's likely to be taller, have more branches, and have a thicker trunk. Younger trees are notably difficult to climb due to their lack of branches and thin trunks.
Make sure that the tree looks like it could support the tree house! If the tree house is resting on the fork of two thin branches, anyone who climbs into it is going to go crashing to the ground.
Draw the tree house. What do you want your tree house to look like?
. It cTry resting it across two thick branches or nailing it to the tree.
Tree houses without roofs are commonly seen to be platforms with a fencing around them. However, these don't last very well in rainy environments, as the planks for the floor rot easily when they're wet.
e? Do Color. Color the tree, the leaves, and the tree house. It should stick to a color scheme of being brown and green, although if it's set around the autumn seasons, coloring the leaves with reds, oranges and yellows will work fine.
What if I don't know how to draw a tree?
Try this article for tips: how to draw a tree.
What if I am terrible at drawing trees?
Then you need to work on drawing them to improve. Watch YouTube tutorials and practice every day.
How do I draw the house?
How do I color a drawn tree house?
If the tree house is in a suburban environment, be aware of the housing regulations. It's not common for suburbs to allow tree houses to be built, and most trees in the suburbs wouldn't hold the weight anyway.
Whilst being practical and realistic is satisfying to many, you can draw a fantasy tree house if you wish. A tree house that your favourite book or cartoon character might live in could be fun to draw, if not in the least practical! |

en | N/A | N/A | Hyundai has unveiled the all-new i10. The petrol-powered city car will offer more interior space and get a sporty N-line trim when it goes on sale in early 2020. Prices are expected to start in the region of £9500.
The 2020 i10 will provide better comfort and refinement, say Hyundai, while the new sporty N-line trim level (pictured here) should provide some warm hatch appeal.
From launch, the new Hyundai i10 is sold with a 100PS three-cylinder 1.0-litre T-GDi engine with 172Nm of torque. Buyers can also spec a four-cylinder 1.2-litre MPi engine with 84PS and 118Nm of torque - both are linked to five-speed manual gearbox as standard, while an automated manual will be an optional extra.
The interior should provide better space for the driver and passengers, with the 2020 i10 being 10mm longer and 20mm wider than the outgoing model. Bootspace is unchanged, however, with the i10 providing 252 litres with the rear seats in place.
Hyundai has only release interior pictures of the warm hatch i10N version. This includes an N-branded steering wheel and gearstick, while the dashboard gets red air vents and ventilation controls. A pair of sports seats for the driver and front passenger complete the N makeover.
The i10 will be offer compatibility. Wireless phone charging and a rear-view camera will also be available.
Fuel economy and CO2 ratings are still to be confirmed, but the 1.2-litre MPi engine is expected to return up to 53mpg and 121g/km. The i10 will also retain its nimble city-friendly nature, with a turning radius of just five metres.
The 2020 Hyundai i10 will go on sale in early 2020 and be backed by a five-year-warranty as standard. The N-line trim level will - in styling at least - put the i10 alongside the i30 N hatcback and Fastback.
I think that their 'automated manual' is likely to be their dual clutch auto, which from the lack of complaints, appears to be far more reliable than VAG's DSG and Ford's now defunct Powershift equiavelents. They were probably slowly replacing them as new models came through, as they did on the larger cars.
I would still shy away from that system, mainly because they are still designed for use in open-road/performance driving, rather than slo-speed driving (especially crawling along at walking space/start-stop) in heavy traffic. TCs and (decent) CVTs are far more suitable for that sort of usage, even if the former is less efficient.
I would be worried about long term reliability (over 10yo, much more than the DSGs and PSs), mainly because I keep my cars a long time and don't want to have to fork out for an expensive new box.
On the subject of boxes, you should get back in yours and not come out until you have something worthy to contribute.
What a nasty response. Try taking your own advice.
Ah yes, it was just a matter of time...'automated manual' is JUST THAT. It is NOT ANY FORM OR DERIVATIVE of a DCT. It is noticed that you use the first person singular to excess...look it up if you don't understand. Tell us all what you drive, considering you are the leader in the field wrt automotive affairs?.
If you had worked hard (or even at all) at school, you might have made it to become a 'proper' engineer, earning enough money to change your car more often and not have "to fork out" for costly repairs...or perhaps you simply don't look after your cars.
But that's just it - I have earned a decent amount, but because I chose wisely, I haven't had to, as you say, fork out for many costly repairs - my car, in it 13+ year life, has never broken down once (touch wood), and has only had maintenance on standard wear and tear items. Nor did I spend a load of money buying the car either, so it has worked out well.
It's sad that you constantly feel the need to make such unwarrented and nasty comments and to constantly troll me, Slow Eddie and others for no apparent reason other then you appear to like doing so and we don't share your viewpoint. Perhaps you would feel more comfortable trolling elsewhere, given you don't appear to
I so wanted to like this car. As an owner of the current i10 I've been very impressed with it, so was looking forward to the new model and a possible 'N' sports version to compete with the VW Up GTi.
But I can't help but feel disappointed by the new model and the N-Line version.
For me the styling isn't great, a far cry from the concept sketch (as Hyundai / Kia always end up), with the biggest problem of the current car carried forward (the pointless upward tick of bodywork ruining rear visibility).
Moving onto the N Line model, the front gapping grill looks over the top for a car with just 99bhp, and judging by youtube videos on the interior, doesn't even feature the nice faux-leather seats that the equivalent Kia Picanto GT-Line has (I guess the i10 N-Line will cost more than the equivalent Picanto but offer less equipment). It's also a missed opportunity that Hyundai haven't used the higher output 120 PS 1.0 T-GDi engine for a true N version.
A lot has been made of this car being the most advanced in its class for tech, but I, and others, don't want all that pointless stuff as it's just another load of expensive stuff to go wrong outside of warranty. Especially in what's supposed to be a cheap city car.
So I think I'm going to pop off down to my local Kia dealership to test drive a Picanto GT-Line. With honestjohn's site showing that you can get one in the GT-Line spec with the 1.0 T-GDi engine for just under £11k after discount, and the Hyundai i10 N Line no doubt going to have a HUGE list price with little chance for discount from launch, I'd probably be a bit silly waiting until next year for the i10 N Line.
The current i10/Picanto auto 4-spd torque convertor is a car that fits its brief perfectly. Smooth reliable TC auto. Fair economy figures. Painless.
The new 'automated manual' box will need to match it, else they will lose sales, a la Honda i-Shift, VW ADC, etc.
The current i10 is a very pretty car, well equipped and competitively priced.
The HORRIBLE automated box is enough to put anyone off... No TC box - nor will I buy.
I would wait to see if it was an automated manual like the Honda i-Shift or perhaps someone from their PR dept mis-spoke in describing it and it's actually a DCT (like the rest of their newer car line-up), which is in many respect technically an automated manual. I would be surprised if they went with a tehcnology many other makes could get to work.
In precisely what respects is a DCT, technically an automated manual?.
It has a clutch system, and you can go up or down the gears yourself rather than letting the car decide.
No different to a TC, with paddles. You did not address the question, simply illustrated one common function...so will ask again, in precisely what respects (plural and in detail) is a DCT, technically an automated manual?. |

en | N/A | N/A | Clare Smyth's Core opened in 2017 and earned a full three Michelin stars by 2021. Much of her career had been spent a chef at Restaurant Gordon Ramsay.
Located in London's Notting Hill, Core was designed by Smyth to offer distinctly British fine dining, one that relies less on imported luxury ingredients and draws on the island's own food systems.
That can mean reinventing old-fashioned staples, such as jellied eel, which Smyth serves with toasted seaweed and malt vinegar, Her Cornish turbot is served with smoked mussels, red apple, cabbage, and cider. And the possibilities of sustainably conceived dishes are represented by a dish which offers lamb, hogget (lamb aged between one and two years), and mutton.
While some dishes do incorporate ingredients from elsewhere, there is no mistaking the distinctiveness of Smyth's approach. And after several years in which books from major British chefs have been scarce or shied away from their actual restaurant fare, this is a refreshing, exciting new arrival.
Phaidon Books' design of this book is crisp and simple, allowing Nathan Snoddon's photography to effectively convey the elegance of Smyth's approach. |

Mutual fund sales dropped to Rs 16.17 lakh crore in December 2017, after touching a record high in the preceding month, primarily on account of investors’ concerns over the impact of appreciating rupee on exportersestment by the mutual fund industry in software stocks stood at Rs 24,315 crore as on March 31, accounting for 11.922.04 lakh crore.

en | N/A | N/A | Mom writes open letter to parents who didn't invite son to birthday party
Jennifer Engele/ABC News SOURCE: Jennifer Engele/ABC News
A Canadian mom took to Facebook last month to address the reason why, she said, her son was the only child not invited to a class birthday party.
Jennifer Engele of Langley, British Columbia told ABC News that on June 22, she learned invitations were handed out at school, and her son Sawyer, 8, was allegedly the only child who didn't receive one.
"At first, I slept on it and thought about how I should handle the situation," Engele said. "I have a lot of Facebook friends that have children with special needs as well as typical kids. I’m not one to air my dirty laundry on Facebook. I felt that it was an important message to share and hopefully make people stop and think about including kids in birthday parties that might not necessarily have been included."
She added: "d. I have received so many comments from parents that have said the same thing happened to their child and they didn't have the courage to say anything."
Engele said she first sent an email to the parents throwing the birthday party. She then shared the same letter on Facebook where it received 33,000 reactions..."
Although she was sad that Sawyer was not invited, Engele believed the parents may have not felt equipped to discuss why Sawyer is different than some of his other peers in the class, she said.
On June 24, the parents replied to Engele's email, informing her that they discussed Sawyer and Down syndrome with their child.
The child even sent a special birthday invitation to Sawyer, Engele said.
"Sawyer was beaming, he ran up and showed me the invitation, he was so happy," Engele said. The parent agreed that it would be helpful to speak to the class about Down syndrome next year.
"I think it can leave such a positive impression on a typical child to have a true friendship with another child that has special needs," she added. "I also think it’s so important for the child that has special needs to have these friendships as well. Often people with special needs live in isolation, only having friendships with their family or caregivers. It’s so important for people with special needs to have these relationships and be included. I hope that parents will consider making that one extra special invitation with their child to include someone who may not have been included before."
Engele said she's glad to report the story had a happy ending. |

en | N/A | N/A | As well as helping the team run Today’s Conveyancer I am a consultant advising many different types of legal firms, including conveyancers, on a broad range of matters. Increasingly one of the many areas that I am being asked to help is getting a firm back onto a lender’s panel. Often I find cases of injustice and innocent conveyancers being caught up in circumstances where they need help. In those cases I will and can help. But often after a little investigation and querying of the circumstances I find that my sympathy is more often with the lender than the conveyancer.
There are many genuine cases. Please don’t feel that I am overtly pro one side or the other when it comes to the challenges of risk management but far too often I am shocked by the way in which conveyancers approach their responsibilities to lenders.
In many circumstances the conveyancer claims that they were the innocent victim or were just negligent when actually they appear to have overlooked risk indicators that they should have spotted like an elephant in a public swimming pool. In those situations it is clear why the lender doesn’t want to risk sending money to that firm’s client account but regularly conveyancers email me indicating their disappointment that Today’s Conveyancer isn’t more vocal against the perceived injustices that lenders inflict on conveyancers.
There appears to be a massive gap in the understanding of the risk that many conveyancers are handling for lenders. So I hope this article helps close that gap. I am not saying lenders are without fault but I am saying the legal community needs to sort its act out quickly.
Taking a recent example, on Tuesday I was at the annual CML Legal Update conference when I received a call from a Midlands conveyance. I can’t say anything about the CML event other than I attended and was subject to Chatham House Rules. I can, as an aside, say I felt it was a great day and I feel that it was worth the train fare, hotel and event costs that totalled nearly £750 for me. In the middle of the day an award winning CQS solicitors practice phoned me asking for advice to get onto two lenders panels where they felt that they had been unfairly removed.
I listened to the facts but felt that the firm had been either greedy or massively naïve in the circumstances.
Be careful of the warning signs of fraud by other professionals because you could have your business destroyed by failing to think about it from your client’s (the lender) perspective.
I am not going to name the firm for the sake of their reputation. They have been removed from the Santander and Lloyds Banking Group panels and were seeking my advice as a consultant as to how to resolve the circumstance that they faced. It was almost surreal that this conveyancer phoned me in the middle of the CML conference.
The firm had been on the two lenders’ panels for years. It is a CQS firm and had won awards from recognised “important” industry bodies.
Next Tuesday I am in a meeting with the lady that has written to them to let them know that their panel has failed. It’s a small world.
The firm indicated that they had been involved in a few cases where a “gifted deposit” had occurred. They felt that because they had told the lender in each case that there was a gifted deposit they had discharged their obligation to the lenders.
When I asked a few questions it was a bit more complex. The firm had received referrals from an estate agent they didn’t know personally that was 150 miles north of their practice. In five cases where the agent had referred five different purchasers to the conveyancer there had been a “gifted deposit” by a relative in every case. The relative was always represented by the same firm who was 100 miles south of the firm acting for the purchaser. The firm acting for the donor of the gifted deposits confirmed in writing that the gifts were gifts and there was no obligation to repay the loan.
After completion the firm acting for the donor registered restrictions against the properties and the lenders who had lent the funds removed the firm in question from their panels.
The firm didn’t report to SOCA the pattern of five referred cases with “gifted deposits”, with five family members from the same agent miles and miles away. The firm feels strongly that reporting each gifted deposit to the lenders in question was sufficient. I disagree. What are the chances of a group of 5 family members all buying different properties via the same agent and possibly the same mortgage broker and there to be nothing “odd” going on?
The conveyancer stuck to the letter of the CML handbook and thought that was all they should do? For me a conveyancer should act in their client’s best interest. Where there is a conflict don’t act. Maybe I am just too far removed to “get it” but to me it seems clear.
Lenders share data. Lenders match data for trends. It isn’t a coincidence that two lenders within a few days have removed the firm from their panels. As data sharing becomes more common place this will get worse. One mistake with lender A and lenders B through to Z with remove you instantly, not just lender A. If you don’t have extensive risk management in place now you will not trade as a conveyancer soon. We are moving to instant death of conveyancers where they make poor judgements on risk. It doesn’t need to be proven negligence or fraud, it merely might be. You are removed from the panel. Your business struggles. If you are lucky you have other legal work to do for a couple of years before the Co-op does it . Then you are dead.
It may already be too late but take independent third party assessment regarding your business risks. Two years ago I pointed out to one firm issues regarding the way they deal with credit cards. Finally this week they sorted it. In a year this issue might have killed them.
Let’s face it the firm in this example was either inappropriately naïve or didn’t report a significant issue because an introducer might stop introducing cases. I am not sure which is worse.
If the borrowers were lying about their income the lender can’t tip off the conveyancing firms involved. If the mortgage broker was involved in a fraud the lender can’t tip off the conveyancing firms. If there was valuation fraud the lender can’t tip off the conveyancer. But it is entirely fair and reasonable for the lender to say there is a pattern of activity where the conveyancer received work on multiple occasions where fraud was involved and therefore they don’t want to work with that conveyancing firm ever again. And why should it?
The conveyancer is the easy target to sue. They don’t offer conveyancers level of cover. So don’t be naïve. Don’t take referrals from people who you aren’t entirely certain about. When estate agents act for lots of similar relatives all buying houses through that agent where there is always a gifted deposit should massive alarm bells be ringing with the conveyancer?
– Property at a distance.
– Introducers at a distance and maybe at a distance from the property.
– Regular gifted deposits on every case from that introducer.
Wake up, you might be complicit in a fraud or implicated without your knowledge and it may destroy your business, no matter how many awards you have won.
Regular readers know I am a supporter of referral fees and that I don’t think conveyancing firms should dabble, but I am a strong believer in risk management and if a particular introducer has a pattern of behaviour of “gifted deposits”, advertises that they can give purchasers access to “below market valuation” properties, or where the other side offer something “too good to be true” it is the conveyancers obligation to say “no I am not going to act” and report it to the authorities. It is not good enough to write to the lender and disclose the facts on one case when you know there is a pattern and turn a blind eye to the fact you may be party to fraud.
Conveyancing at the moment is like Russian Roulette one mistake and you are dead. This is not a time to be greedy and work with introducers you don’t know, don’t trust and who know aren’t ethically or morally pure. Your ability to trade can be removed quickly and without any real right for you to appeal.
Don’t try to complain about HSBC or claim you are a victim when you should be the gatekeeper of protection for your lender clients and you work in a sector that has totally lost the understanding of the duty it has to all its clients.
Maybe you should consider an independent assessment of the real commercial risk in your business, never mind a whole heap of quality marks that don’t investigate the real risk you are taking as a business. |

en | N/A | N/A | Collaboration amocan result in systems that are easier to install for integrators and that provide a better customer experience for end users. Illustrating the point is the recent collaboration among a turnstile technology company, a supplier of short-range wireless readers/writers, and a biometric business focused on “frictionless” access control.
Orion’s collaboration with ELATEC RFID Systems and SAFR touchless biometrics by RealNetworks Inc. highlights the advantages of manufacturers working together to ensure technologies operate smoothly in the real world.
When Orion Entrance Controls provides a SpeedGate swing-glass optical turnstile, they take full ownership of the customer’s experience. That means ensuring the turnstile application operates as it should regardless of which component of the broader system might be at fault. To the customer experience, a card reader that doesn’t work is the equivalent of a turnstile that doesn’t work. Which component is at fault is irrelevant, and in fact, invisible, to the overall customer experience.
As the most visible element in many access control systems, dependable operation of turnstiles reflects positively on the manufacturer and on the entire system.
To ensure an optimum customer experience, Orion tests various third-party components with their turnstiles to ensure flawless operation before a turnstile is delivered to a customer. Customers buying an Orion turnstile send the card readers they want to use to Orion’s corporate headquarters in Laconia, N.H., where Orion engineers ensure seamless operation.
In addition to scenario-based testing, readers are placed inside the turnstile for a streamline appearance, which can be a challenge given the variety of sizes and types of readers a customer might choose. Some readers are designed to be bolted to the wall rather than installed inside a turnstile, which complicates adaptation efforts. In short, historically for Orion, ensuring the optimum customer experience involved extra time and effort, although obviously it was worth it.
Seeking to simplify the process, Orion has found an alternative to using many different types and models of card readers for its turnstiles. Deploying an RFID reader/writer from ELATEC provides flexibility to operate in a variety of card and reader environments, includi. The product is compatible with low-frequency (LF), high-frequency (HF), near field communication (NFC) or Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) signals. An integrated BLE module supports mobile ID and authentication solutions. There is an integrated antenna for LF and HF to ensure excellent contactless performance.
Using applicable firmware, the “universal” configuration of the ELATEC reader hardware is compatible with any card system. It works with all the access control protocols, including SEOS, OSDP and other open protocols. “We can buy one product and it can be anything it wants to be with other firmware,” says Caroselli.
The small form factor (around 3 inches square) of the ELATEC module lends itself to easy installation inside the turnstile housing. The slightly raised, smooth bezel outside outer-ring finish caters to the desire among architects that turnstiles be streamlined and modern.
Easy availability of the ELATEC readers helps Orion continue to serve customers despite recent disruptions in the supply chain. And ELATEC’s reader hardware has earned global certifications that enables Orion to use their products for customers around the world.
Before embracing the ELATEC reader module, Orion tested it for three months to ensure compatibility with its turnstiles. ELATEC was responsive at every stage as the relationship evolved, providing sample equipment for testing and working closely with the Orion team. Everyone in the ELATEC sales and engineering team, right up the company’s C-suite, worked to support Orion during the testing phase. In the end, in addition to other advantages, ELATEC’s detection speed and read range compares favorably to competing technologies.
The Orion turnstiles incorporate an ELATEC TWN4 Palon Compact panel, a versatile panel-mount reader, and reflects the advantages and integrated tool support of the ELATEC TWN4 family.
Orion works with all the various stakeholders – architects, consultants, integrators, and end users – to ensure total satisfaction with an installation.
Orion is also implementing SAFR SCAN biometric technology into their turnstiles using hardware and software from RealNetworks Inc. The facial recognition reader technology, designed for mainstream commercial access control, provides a “frictionless” experience, and allows users to pass through turnstiles at a walk. The system can authenticate up to 30 individuals per minute with 99.9% accuracy despite varied lighting conditions.
Orion designed a mounting system to incorporate the biometric reader into their turnstile design. SAFR’s system provides a good user experience when it comes to enrollment.
On each turnstile, the SAFR technology can operate separate from the ELATEC reader or in conjunction with it for multi-factor authentication in higher-security applications.
The need to protect more entrances beyond the lobby led Orion to develop DoorGuard, a LIDAR-based solution that detects each person who passes through a doorway and prevents tailgating (like a turnstile) for applications such as stairway doors, perimeter doors, data centers, IDF closets, etc. The software mimics the advantages of a turnstile to monitor access control and occupancy.
Orion’s Constellation is a presence detection system that uses UWB (ultra-wideband) radar to sense where people are in a building for emergency response and building utilization applications. |

Just after saying this, the moon popped through the clouds, we were just going by the mausoleum she looked and said ‘good old God, thank you’. I am sure he heard her.
Barbara used to walk all the way down to Cobham school on her own, bless her. We would hear her coming home long before she reached the house, she would be singing ‘coming home my darling, coming home to you’. I think she heard Vi, her mum, singing this often.
Ern kept the garden filled with veg, he grew some lovely little cucumbers but our silly cat used to eat them as they grew. We also had a black Leghorn chicken, her name was Clara Cluck, she would crow very loud every morning but she used to lay lovely brown eggs. The children would hold her, she never used to mind.
We asked Lord Darnley if he could find work for Neville, he said ‘yes and you can come and live in the Hall’, so we moved down there. By this time Vi was expecting another baby.
Another little tale while on the subject, Lord Darnley’s mother, the Dowager of Cobham Hall moved to a place called ‘Puckle Hill’, now I am going back seventy six years. Mrs Knight had Doris and Irene, she lived in the gate house of Puckle Hill, then Ken was born he is now fourteen months old. Mrs Knight waited for her husband to come home, (thought he cannot be driving the Darnley’s around this late) so she went down to the big house (by the way it was right in the middle of a huge wood) to look for him. When she went by the garage he was in there with the head cook from the house….Well you can imagine they went mad at each other. Anyway Mrs Knight said he went off with the cook that very night and she never saw him again!
Another yarn was about a girl called Peggy Taylor who was madly in love with one of them but she walked up the pleasure grounds and went out to the golf course and hung herself. The path she took is still called Peggy Taylor’s walk.

en | N/A | N/A | Kaieteur News – Today I speak of positives only, amidst a world of worry and unending negatives. I am looking for some way to lift myself up and others, too.
The first encouraging news came from Dr. Mahendra Carpen, Head of Medical Services at the GPHC, with a report that at least 50 persons have benefittat the hospital. This is extremely encouraging because the plasma treatment is only given to patients that are extremely critical. My thinking is that, given their condition, this plasma treatment is definitely a lifesaver for quite a few of them. I think that in the absence of this plasma treatment, and considering the patients “extremely critical” condition, it is highly likely that some of them could have been gone. To Drs. Carpen and Pedro Lewis (Head of the NBTS), our appreciation for working together to engage in this process of prepping the blood of once infected pandemic patients and working diligently through the sensitive compatibility issues to find the right matches. I should mention that the prestigious Mayo Clinic has indicated that “y” (New York Post, January 14). The Mayo Clinic researchers elaborated: “…reduced the progression of COVID-19.” And also those p. It is most encouraging that, as this monumental struggle continues, we here in Guyana are cnd are working with what we have to provide relief in this medical crisis.
It encourages that there is a breakthrough in the gruesome Cotton Tree murders that triggered so much ugliness in that part of the country, and farther afield, when all is reviewed. Though I am always hesitant and careful with confessions, especially from a hardened criminal such as the one I take to be the lead perpetrator, this long-awaited development has to resonate in that community and across this society. A drug situation that took a terrible turn was one of the more substantial speculations floating around, and now there is seeming confirmation that such was the case. I would be even more encouraged if this holds up, and does not prove to be a false alarm that leads to a dead end.
Then, there was that picture and encouraging news item of two members of the Guyana Police Force stepping into the water, at some danger to themselves, to rescue a citizen, who most probably would have drowned were it not for their thoughtful and daring intervention. The GPF has been the object of a barrage of criticism from most corners, so this rescue development is something that should help to boost the image of the force. More quality work from members of the GPF in the many areas of its vast responsibilities would go a long way in putting the institution at a better place in the minds of hearts of watching citizens.
Next, I read that the Board of Directors of the Demerara Harbour Bridge Corporation recommended that action be taken against those culpable in the Asphalt Plant racket. We have to start somewhere, through sending hard messages that where corruption is involved, it will not be tolerated. This is regardless of who is in the middle, be it the previous government’s people, or those associated with the current one. This is the only way that taxpayers will get some value for their money, and that effective deterrents will be in place to make potential workplace scoundrels think twice of taking a chance and helping themselves. As Guyanese know, there is a lot of public service skullduggery that plagues this country. Some effort must be made to put the brakes on these runaway practices in government after government. Take action and punish the culpable. I am all for that, and the harsher the better. |

Cheers: Heh! Ya it was nice to meet a fellow Malaysian in Korea. I didn’t ask for her number, I was there on a business trip and the next day we had to fly back so I don’t see the point. :)
The dish is really fucking good! =D
the only thing I can think of when i see that plate of Tteokbokki is “wah the plate so dirty one????” . Or was that a design of the plate? :P
chefmel: Har! Are you from Kuching or not? ;)
Anyway, this was at a street vendor so yeah I guess the standards of hygeine are lower. :)
i have no idea what Tteokbokki contains, but it cant be worse than ” potted meat” – lips and butholes, and lungs ( goes good on crackers), souse meat ( ground up snout, ears, cheeks, red pepper in gelitain base from the boiled skull of the pig, congelled into a loaf; liver mush( pig liver mashed and cooked with onions and corn meal, pressed into a loaf, then sliced and fried; chitlins, ( boiled or fried hog intestines); tripe, (cow stomachs) or my favorite– ta da– hagis- a sheep’s lungs, liver, and heart, stewed and mixed with oats, onions and garlic, then stuffed into its own bladder and boiled or baked. no wonder you drink it with a wee bit o scotts whiskey. hell, I have to drink half a fith before i taste the first bit. But much of it comes from the idea that if you kill an animal, you dont waste nothing. at all. ever. it is an insult to the animal that sutains you, and just generally bad karma, or luck. |

Home News And Events Muff Branch Celebrates 40yrs
Activities of the Branch in the 1970’s included first aid training, providing first aid cover at local and county events and first aid competitions. In 1975 the Branch started a concert in St Mary’s Hall as a fundraiser to buy uniforms and the then Chairman Mr JP Bradley was quoted in the Derry Journal “it is a credit to the members of the branch that the talent emerged almost entirely from within its own ranks”
Over the years Branch membership has continued to grow and today the branch has a wealth of youth members, aged 10-17, who learn first aid skills, take part in the Irish Red Cross OPTIONS programme, Positive Images Cultural diversity programme and form first aid teams who compete at local and national level.
The Muff Branch is very proud to have Donegal Head Quarters in Muff which the late Mr Gerard Moyne was instrumental in securing for the Irish Red Cross in Donegal. Members of the Muff Branch also play a key role in the running of the Donegal Area Committee; Mr Ray Mackey is Chairman, Mr Martin Mc Kinney is Area Director of Units, Mr Patrick Mc Gonagle is Assistant Area Director and the Branch are very proud to have a member on the National Youth Working Group, Bernie Rutherford as Chair of the Muff Branch.
Today the Branch continues to follow the principles upon which the Red Cross was formed and would like to thank past and present members for giving up their time to volunteer to train younger members, provide first aid cover at events and fundraise.
Chairperson, Bernie Rutherfo, donated to and trained with the Irish Red Cross Muff Branch over the years. Your support allows us to maintain and improve equipment, facilities, and services so that we can continue to keep or community safe.
