Fixed-Tilt System vs. Single-Axis Tracker O&M Comparison
By Kelly Pickerel July 28, 2014
As price pressure continues to shape the utility-scale PV market, there is a growing focus on understanding and fine tuning the long-term costs of managing these plants through the life of the PPA. Operations and maintenance (O&M) is playing a growing role in the financial modelling of a prospective PV plant as real world data from aging PV plants returns from the field. As PV plants come out of warranty from the installer, an understanding of what needs repair, when, and how to do it is just as important as what equipment was selected and how it was installed.
One component that has been a focus of recent debate is the racking or tracking system and how it is maintained over time. As an independent O&M provider in the utility-scale PV market, MaxGen Energy Services (MaxGen) has been asked many times to evaluate the long term O&M costs on a fixed-tilt racking system versus a single-axis tracking system. MaxGen currently has more than 300 MW under its management. About 80%, or 240 MW total, consists of Array Technologies Inc. (ATI) single-axis tracking system. The obvious benefit we see is an average 20% gain in production over a fixed system, depending on location and a host of other factors. The most commonly asked question we hear on this on this subject is, "What is the long term O&M cost for a tracker, and how does it compare to a comparable fixed system?"
We believe ATI's tracking system is the clear U.S. market leader in the tracking space today. Looking at the design & engineering package for ATI, as well as the maintenance requirements of the system and advances in remote diagnostics, controls and alarms, MaxGen has concluded that the O&M cost of an ATI tracking system is less than 2% more than a comparable fixed racking system.
Regardless of the site or mounting system, O&M services have to incorporate visual inspections of every component and every module in a given system. The ATI design has allowed us to streamline our inspection process. We are able to walk a tracker block and inspect the major components of the ATI system thoroughly and efficiently. The requirements to maintain the ATI warranty are minimal. An area that offsets a potential cost increase is in the ability to stow modules in an optimal position during module washing. MaxGen tries to preserve and maximize the production of our plants, so we have found ways to wash our modules at night, or early in the morning, when we can stow the modules after production times, via remote control from our offsite operations center, thereby minimizing gaps in the day when the modules are in a flat and less optimized power production angle. This also allows for easier handling of the arrays as they are at human height, as opposed to high north-side fixed tilt racking systems.
If we take kilowatt-hour production as the baseline comparison, a 20-MWdc single-axis tracker system and a 24-MWdc fixed-tilt system — in central California using central inverters and similar wiring techniques — produce about the same amount of annual kWh production. From the O&M perspective, the 20-MWdc tracker system will have a preventive maintenance plan cost of about $0.011 per watt/dc ($11k/MWdc) per year. The same preventive maintenance plan on a fixed-tilt 24-MWdc system would be about $0.0108 per watt/dc ($10.8k/MWdc) per year. Calculations can be made based on the PPA rates and other outside cost factors to determine if the increased dollar amount of the fixed-tilt O&M plan are worth the lowered overall system size using the tracker. The increased up-front capital costs of installing more PV dc watts, as well as additional AC inverters, for the fixed-tilt system are also a significant factor in the economics of a side-by-side comparison (see table below).
Disclaimer: Not all PV power plants are created the same and every project will have designs and equipment specific to the site criteria under which the plant will be constructed and financed. This is the opinion of MaxGen in evaluating long term O&M plans and being able to advise on long-term solutions. MaxGen also works very closely with the ATI service team and is trained on working with ATI's tracking system.

Although Abe no Seimei lived and practised Onmyodo where his shrine is now located in Kyoto, his birthplace is said to have been Abemonju-in Temple in Sakurai.
Ichijo Modori-bashi bridge, which features prominently in the movie, was thought to be a gateway between the human and spirit worlds. It is situated a little south of Seimei Shrine, quite close to the original location of the Imperial Palace.

In 2017, Vade Secure reported that ransomware-infected emails rose 6,000 percent. Recent natural disasters have brought business operations down across the globe. Then there are outages that are the result of human error: Someone misconfigures something or enters the wrong command and systems go down.
If you have ever worked in an organization that has been through the disruption of systems, applications, or services, then you know just how important it is to have a disaster recovery plan in place. For those responsible for putting together a disaster recovery plan, cloud services like Amazon Web Services (AWS) have made this easier. However, before creating a disaster recovery strategy, there are things you need to consider—even if you are using a solution as easy as AWS.
Backing up data is an essential part of any disaster recovery plan, but it does not end there. Not by a long shot. A true disaster recovery plan will have a solution to restore data and files, but it is really about business continuity. Your plan needs to include restoring business critical services and applications, decreasing downtime, protecting your brand and reputation, and ensuring that security remains intact throughout the process.
In any business process, success is determined by measurable metrics. In the world of disaster recovery, there are two common metrics that organizations set for themselves, and meeting these goals often dictates the overall disaster recovery strategy.
The first of the two is the Recovery Time Objective (RTO). This is the amount of time it takes you to recover business critical applications or services. If you have service-level agreements (SLAs) with customers, this can dictate the time frame of your RTO. The same can be said for anything else that would cause harm to your business due to downtime. The second metric is the Recovery Point Objective (RPO). This dictates the window of time in which data loss is acceptable.
AWS provides solutions to help meet these important metrics, but these can certainly affect the costs associated with your disaster recovery plan.
This is the most basic option, where you can back up data to Amazon S3 or Amazon Glacier and restore it using AWS Import/Export. You also have the option of taking snapshots of Amazon EBS volumes, Amazon RDS databases, and Amazon Redshift data warehouses.
In this option, a minimal version of your environment's most critical elements is running in the cloud. If things go down, you maintain your business critical element. You can provision a full-scale production environment from that core by making use of preconfigured Amazon Machine Images (AMIs) that you can start up when needed.
In this scenario, there is a scaled-down version of your fully functional environment always running in the cloud. This is essentially a more robust form of the pilot light option because more elements are always on and at the ready. By resizing smaller capacity servers and extending other services that are scaled back but ready to run, you can get your systems up and running much more quickly.
The multi-site solution runs an active-active configuration in both AWS and your existing on-premises infrastructure. If your on-site resources go down, you can adjust your DNS and send all traffic to AWS with minimal downtime.
Again, your RTO and RPO may influence your decision here.
When it comes to disaster recovery planning, mistakes are often made by either going too big or too small. In situations where your DR plan is too robust and outpaces your RTO and RPO, you are likely spending too much money on services that are overkill. In addition to the wasted money, there can be a great deal of wasted overhead when it comes to configuring and managing a plan that does too much.
On the other side, if your plan covers too little and you fail to meet your RTO and RPO, you could fall into trouble by violating SLAs or other agreements, and may well damage your reputation to the point where you lose customers.
Creating a successful disaster recovery plan takes work. If your IT staff is unsure if they are properly planning for a worst-case scenario, bring in a trusted partner who has the expertise that can help guide your staff in the right direction. Not only can they help choose the right plan, but they can help identify what needs to be included and how to best set up your disaster recovery solution in AWS for success.

Heel is the second studio album from Dogs of Peace. Suite 28 C Records released the album on April 22, 2016.

Background
This is the band's second album, coming out twenty years after their debut Speak.

Music, lyrics and artwork
From Jesus Freak Hideout, they believe the release contains "Strong acoustic and electric guitar hooks are accompanied by layers of beautifully woven instrumentation to create impressive dynamic musical backdrops. The skilled musicianship is matched with Christ-centered lyrics that speak boldly about Jesus' sacrifice on the cross and our hopelessness without Him." For The Phantom Tollbooth, they boast "don't forget to really – I mean really – check out the album artwork. Brilliant."

Critical reception

Awarding the album five stars from CCM Magazine, Kevin Sparkman writes, "No new tricks needed, Kennedy's timeless vocals along with stellar musicianship and matchless production keep the dog-and-pony-show at bay, proving their signature brand of rock 'n roll sits, and stays." Bert Saraco, indicating in a four and a half out of five review by The Phantom Tollbooth, says, "Dogs of Peace have produced an album of songs so well-crafted, so powerfully performed and produced, with such clever and insightful lyrics that most everything placed alongside sounds either lazy (come on – write songs, folks!), pretentious, too corporate, or self-indulgent.  Am I being too extreme here? Probably – because I'm listening to this fine album once again as I write this. Still, the fact remains – Heel has avoided all of the pitfalls that plague even the best efforts of the current music scene. Every song sounds fresh. All of the arrangements are well thought-out. There are hooks and memorable melodies – and the playing is great!"

Michael Weaver, giving the album four stars at Jesus Freak Hideout, states, "These are 'old dogs' and they aren't going to give that modern rock fix you're hoping for. Fans of Speak, classic rock, or those currently enjoying Steve Taylor's revival, however, are all prime targets. Great musicians typically make great music and Dogs of Peace are no exception. Hopefully the guys decide to stick around for more than one album this time around." Rating the album four and a half stars for Jesus Freak Hideout, Christopher Smith describes, "With Heel, Dogs of Peace have blended 90's alternative rock with elements of classic rock, making a coherent and refreshingly timely album."

His secular music — in French and Italian — was partly issued by Petrucci, the pioneer of music printing, in Venice in the early 1500s; other secular and sacred works survive in manuscipt. His Missa Cucuwith has the appropriate motive in the tenor, but other works show a well-developed imitative style overlaying traditional cantus firmus treatment.
Despite his name (it might be an Italianization, not so uncommon in feudal days) Martini was not an Italian, but from the Low Countries (all inhabitants, even francophones, were known in Italy and beyond as Fiamminghi, "Flemings"). He is considered a member of the second generation of Flemish Polyphonists (the most famous and oldest being Johannes Ockeghem, who dominated the French royal court chapel). Martini was the teacher who introduced to music Isabella d'Este, daughter of duke Ercole I of Ferrara; she became a major patron of the arts at the ducal court of Mantua, keeping in touch with Johannes and his compatriots Josquin Despres and Loyset Compère. When Galeazzo Maria Sforza founded the Lombard court chapel in Milan, he attracted "Flemish" composers: Gaspard van Waarbecke (who later traveled north to recruit more Flemish musicians) and the aforementioned Josquin, Compère and Martini.
In 1474 Gaspar moved to Ferrara to serve the Este Duke Ercole I. Apparently as a friend, Martini was invited — succesfully — to persuade Hofhaimer to give his services to the Innsbruck court of the Habsburg dynasty by becoming Austrian court organist.

W hen I visited Long Wharf's New Haven Food Terminal, it was sweltering. The air shimmied, and even the seagulls who'd flown over from the harbor seemed dispirited and limp as they waddled between parked cars and semi trucks.
But some of the plaza's denizens were beating the heat, despite their getups. Meatpackers in fleece and long pants took a break in front of refrigerated warehouses, while others dressed like surgeons strolled about.
At the food terminal, opposites attract. Hot and cold. Retail and wholesale. Old country and new. Work and play. The plaza, whose businesses rest almost exclusively above a raised concrete loading lip, extends in a huge broken U-shape lined with warehouses, delis, a restaurant, a theater and—at the back, beyond a gravel lot and a guard rail—a nightclub.
Browsing might mean having to step out of the way of small forklifts hauling wooden pallets of onions and peppers. Many of the establishments are Italian, selling canned tomatoes, frozen gnocchi pasta and enough olive oil to fill the Sound. Some warehouses have small storefronts, seeming afterthoughts, where imported goods like amaretti cookies and coffee line raw industrial shelves.
At the Hummel Bros. Deli, near a larger Hummel meatpacking facility, office workers formed a long queue for their noontime sandwiches and soups. Later, on a different day, long white Whole Foods trailers lined up outside Lamberti's Sausage, while pallets of fibrous goods were stacked outside Advance Paper Company. After hours (and also during them, for Wednesday matinees), Long Wharf Theatre and the Terminal 110 dance club attract crowds for different flavors of fun, while Brazi's Italian Restaurant cooks up dinner for theatergoers and other patrons.
Completed in 1964, the complex was built primarily to be the new iteration of the wholesale food market that had bustled near New Haven's Union Station since the late 19th century. As early as the 1910s, and especially during New Haven's mid-century urban redevelopment period, many considered the market a stone in the city's shoe, occupying valuable property that could, in their eyes, be put to better use.
Mayor Richard C. Lee, who presided over its redevelopment, offered harsh words in its memory. "The old market was a tangle of stress, often so congested that normal business was impossible," he said in a 1965 speech. "Most business was conducted from the tailgates of trucks. This was a truck market in every sense of the word, with little tax return to the city and few permanent jobs. The buildings that were used were obsolete and inefficient, relics of a bygone age." Once cleared, the space was turned into a sprawling affordable housing project, after a plan to build luxury apartments fell through.
According to a Connecticut Historical Commission file, the decision to build a new market at the Long Wharf location was made much earlier, in 1949, though the plan was only finalized in 1958. Once marshy wetlands, the city, along with federal help, used landfill dredged from the harbor to create a solid surface for the area's retail and office parks, plus I-95.
Designed by architecture firm Granbery, Cash and Associates, whose other works around the city include the Zion Lutheran Church on Davenport Street and the Crown Street Parking Garage, the terminal's construction was funded by a group of local produce dealers, attracted by the proximity to a railroad freight depot. It was a quick success, soon processing 90% of the produce destined for the region's independent stores and restaurants according to the CHC.
That might be because, although the city's restaurant scene is as strong as ever, there aren't as many independent grocery stores to sell to anymore, and food distribution as an industry has become more conglomerated on one end and more direct and localized—embodied by the farm-to-table movement—on the other. The terminal also faced a more acute challenge in 2015, when a large set of shares in its holding company went to auction, throwing the joint venture's future into doubt. According to a New Haven Register article published April 16, 2015, the city was floating potential development of the site into two large apartment complexes, suggesting history could soon repeat itself, with the plaza being displaced in favor of housing.
If that ever happens, the market may have to endure another reinvention, perhaps even farther from the stomach of the city it still helps to feed.

This portfolio of prints by the British artist Gerald Laing is a rare complete set of his Baby Baby Wild Things & Brigitte Bardot series of 1968.
Laing was born in Newcastle and served in the army before changing career to study at Saint Martin's School of Art in London. In the 1960s he moved to New York, where he became part of the Pop Art movement alongside artists including Roy Lichtenstein and Andy Warhol. Laing's silkscreen prints of celebrities, girls, cars and astronauts show the influence of American Pop themes. Baby Baby Wild Things was a popular all-girl rock group of the period.
This portfolio was issued in an edition of 200, but sets including the Brigitte Bardot print are rare (it was often removed and sold separately). This example includes the original pink velour case with blue ties in which it came.
Soon after these prints were made, Laing abandoned Pop Art in favour of Minimalism, only returning to Pop much later on in his career. The portfolio now joins Pallant House Gallery's rich collection of British Pop Art, including work by Peter Blake and Richard Hamilton.
The portfolio had been with the original publisher, Richard Feigen Graphics, since it was made in 1968. It was then purchased by Lyndsey Ingram Gallery and imported to the UK in June 2017.

Letter to USAID Administrator Raj Shah in Wake of Disaster in Japan
Letter to USAID Administrator Raj Shah (PDF, 69K)
The Honorable Raj Shah
1300 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W.
Dear Administrator Shah:
We have an opportunity to assist the many citizens who have disabilities, and those who acquire a disability, as a result of the devastating triple disasters of the earthquake, tsunami and nuclear plant breakdown in Japan.
It is critical for USAID to organize a response that fully addresses the needs of people with disabilities that builds on USAID's prior efforts. In Haiti, for instance, USAID conducted conference calls discussing emergency preparedness in Haiti specifically addressing the needs of people with disabilities and sent a disability expert to assess the situation on the ground and to work with its non-governmental partner organization, Handicap International to organize relief and immediate assistance in the crisis.1 USAID's initial assessment report identified some positive measures and provided suggestions for the next steps.2 The report noted that "[n]o disaster is completely natural"3 and thus underscored that the pre-existing environment weighs heavily in determining the efficacy of any disaster relief effort and preparedness is essential." Here, again, USAID should build on the lessons learned in Haiti and reach out to its government and non-governmental partners in mounting a response.
We must not forget how Hurricanes Katrina and Rita in the U.S. and the Asian Tsunami in 2004 highlighted the inadequacy of emergency preparedness and disaster assistance efforts to address the specific needs of people with disabilities and underscored the need to make humanitarian response accessible. During these disasters, people with disabilities were left behind and trapped in their homes for days. Where they survived long enough to be evacuated, it was done without due regard for their need for assistive devices or the provision of adequate support in shelters. Many shelters were not accessible to people who use wheelchairs or who had other support needs. A UN-commissioned review of overall humanitarian responses4 and the Tsunami Evaluation Coalition5 report found that transparency, communication, and accountability to affected populations was notably lacking in relief efforts. The findings further illustrate that humanitarian assistance organizations are too often unprepared to address even basic needs of people with disabilities in facilitating access to shelter, food, water, and health care services.6
We are already working with the Department of State (DOS) and contacts in your agency in determining the extent of assistance needed in Japan. We understand DOS and USAID are in the process of compiling resources and have offered assistance through diplomatic channels to the government of Japan in addressing the needs of people with disabilities.
Although there is no silver lining to such a horrific loss of life and property, we will have a chance help rebuild a stronger Japan, including by constructing new and more accessible residences and providing better access to schools, hospitals, and government buildings. The United States is well-positioned to lead the world in the re-building efforts in Japan, and demonstrate again how to build on the tremendous human potential of the more than 600 million people who have disabilities. NCD stands ready to assist.

Don't expect the Odyssey to raise the bar or set any new trends. They know the new Chrysler will be a big leap in technology and if Honda (or anybody) is going to stay in the game, they at LEAST have to "muddy the waters" a bit.
If it is an Odyssey, it will be the first one that incorporates the sliding door groove into the rear window. Prior models had it cut into the rear quarter panel and only the Sienna and Chrysler vans disguised it in the window area.

October 16, 2017 by Ecommerce News. About Trustmarks with tags Europe. 8173 views.
Safe.Shop has launched today as the first global ecommerce trust mark. Safe.Shop wants to help improve the customer confidence, while further boosting the ecommerce trade worldwide. National ecommerce associations from 13 different countries are the first connected trust mark partners.
The Ecommerce Foundation has launched Safe.Shop today, with the support of the national ecommerce associations from Brazil, China, Croatia, Hong Kong, Germany, Iceland, Japan, Malaysia, Russia, Romania, Senegal, Switzerland and the Netherlands.
Currently, there are over 300 ecommerce trust marks worldwide and most of them are solely national initiatives. Some of them focus explicitly on legal compliance, while others focus on financial reliability, security, reviews or anti-counterfeiting policies. And some try to cover all of most of these aspects.
According to the Ecommerce Foundation, separate certification for national trust marks can complicate things and can be especially complex for small- and medium sized ecommerce companies. Safe.Shops aims to bridge the borders, so that consumer confidence can grow.
In the coming three months, Safe.Shop will be launched in thirteen countries across the globe, so new processes and systems can be optimized. Online stores can apply for the trust mark through their national ecommerce association or via www.safe.shop. The organization wants to have 30 countries linked to this initiative by next year.

The BBC has launched an exciting project called Ten Pieces. Ten Pieces aims to open up the world of classical music to children – and inspire them to develop their own creative responses to the pieces through music, dance or digital art. The repertoire includes a range of music from baroque to contemporary.
The BBC has created a stunning new cinematic film introducing ten pieces of classical music, which our children have now seen in school. The project will culminate in a major celebratory finale in the summer of 2015.
We are going to fully embrace this project and each class will be given one of the ten pieces to focus on as 'their piece.' We will have a 'ten pieces week' during the spring term where children will get the opportunity to create work based on their piece.
We would really like you to get involved by encouraging your child to take part. We are holding a competition for KS2 for individual responses to the film. Winners will get to showcase their piece in the summer finale, which will be organised by Resonate (Liverpool Music support service).

Diabetes medication may help reduce severity of
IBC News Bureau November 3, 2018
According to a new research, people with Alzheimer's disease who were treated with diabetes drugs showed considerably fewer markers of the disease including abnormal microvasculature and deregulated gene expressions in their brains, compared to patients who were treated using other kinds of drugs.
The study was performed by the researchers of Mount Sinai School of Medicine, results of which were published in the journal of 'PLOS One'.
This is the first study to examine what happens in the pathways of brain tissues and endothelial cells, the cells lining blood vessels in the brains of Alzheimer's patients treated with diabetes medication. The results of the study will help future Alzheimer's disease studies and potential new therapies targeting specific cells since they suggest that targeting the brain's capillary system could have beneficial effects in Alzheimer's patients.
Many elderly people with diabetes have brain changes that are hallmarks of Alzheimer's. Despite this linkage, two previous Mount Sinai studies on brain tissue found that the brains of people with both Alzheimer's disease and diabetes had fewer Alzheimer's lesions than the brains from people with Alzheimer's disease without diabetes.
The results suggested that anti-diabetes medications had a protective effect on the brains of Alzheimer's disease patients.
To determine what happens at the molecular level, the research team developed a method to separate brain capillaries from the brain tissue of 34 people with Alzheimer's and type 2 diabetes who had been treated with anti-diabetes drugs and compare them to tissue from 30 brains of people with Alzheimer's without diabetes and 19 brains of people without Alzheimer's or diabetes.
Researchers then examined the vessels and brain tissues separately to measure Alzheimer's disease associated changes in molecular RNA markers for brain capillary cells and insulin signaling.
The levels of about half of these markers were reduced in the vessels and brain tissue in the group with Alzheimer's and diabetes. The great majority of the RNA changes seen in Alzheimer's disease were absent in those Alzheimer's patients who had been treated with anti-diabetes drugs.
"The results of this study are important because they give us new insights for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease," said the study's senior author, Vahram Haroutunian.
"Most modern Alzheimer's treatments target amyloid plaques and haven't succeeded in effectively treating the disease. Insulin and diabetes medications such as metformin are FDA approved and safely administered to millions of people and appear to have a beneficial effect on people with Alzheimer's. This opens opportunities to conduct research trials on people using similar drugs or on drugs that have similar effects on the brains' biological pathways and cell types identified in this study," said Dr. Haroutunian.

Barth Storage is family owned and operated for almost 30 years. We are dedicated to the self storage business and our community. Ron and Kathy Barth, the owners, built Barth Storage in the 1980's. This was the 2nd storage facility in Wisconsin. Kathy Barth worked for 6 years to get a law passed for the state of Wisconsin. After many hard years of work, the law was passed. They now have passed on the storages to their 3 daughters (Lisa Barth-Chiappetta, Debbie Wolf, Chris Soto) who manage the facilities. Lisa Barth-Chiappetta is the President of the Wisconsin Self Storage Association, and on the board of directors for the SSA (national association). She has followed in her mother's footsteps and gotten two laws passed including lien law reform.
Barth Storage believes in giving back to the community. We do an annual fundraiser every year for the Shalom Center (homeless shelter). This year we raised over $11,000.00. We also host "Trunk or Treat" a Halloween party for the kids in Kenosha. Barth Storage hosts 20 FREE carnival games and prizes, soda and popcorn, and the kids also get to trick or treat in the storage facility. Many local business, state representatives, and the Mayor participate. They decorate a storage unit and pass out candy. It's a great time for everyone.
Barth Storage belongs to the Wisconsin Self Storage Association, the Self Storage Assoc., Chamber of Commerce, The Women's Fund, WWE, Kenosha Women's Network, Kenosha Sister Cities, Boys and Girls Club, Girls Scouts, St. Peters Church and School, and many more. We donate to many organizations like the Shalome center, Deputy Friendly, Boys and Girls Club, St. Peters, St. Joseph's, Bradford, Temper, Somers School, the Symphony, Lakeside Players, and many more.


Bottom Line Up Front: I'm going to share four of my SHTF Intelligence gathering methods on Thursday, 07 February 2019 @ 7pm Central. The link to register is below.
I was watching a video over the weekend of a psychiatrist who was talking about 'thinking'.
He'd conducted over 100,000 brain scans to look for patterns of brain health and how to improve cognition, so naturally I was interested in what he had to say.
One of his more profound points is that he doesn't like "positive thinking".
It's not something he prescribes to his patients. Positive thinking, he says, can harm the people who ignore reality.
It's like Ayn Rand said, 'You can ignore reality but you can't ignore the consequences of ignoring reality'.
Instead he's a fan of accurate thinking. And I just thought, What a great way to frame intelligence analysis.
I want to challenge you to think about the way you the think about a future man-made disaster, natural disaster, civil war or domestic conflict, or any other emergency you're preparing for.
Think about how you think about the future, and ask yourself why you believe the things you believe.
What specific evidence informs those beliefs? Think about the assumptions that you have, and explain on paper why you assume those things, because incredible things start to happen when we structure our thinking. We begin reducing our uncertainty about the future and understanding what's more likely to happen and what's less likely to happen.
We're not in the business of fortune telling, reading tea leaves, or plainly assuming what will happen in the future.
If you can't make a logical case for why you believe the things you do about a future SHTF scenario, then you may have faulty assumptions.
If you base your analysis on faulty assumptions, then you're going to produce bad intelligence. And if your decision-making relies on bad intelligence, then you're going to make bad decisions.
Good intelligence analysts think about how they think, first, and then they think about the problem. Get the process right, and the results will follow.
We can extrapolate that quote to any SHTF scenario: the more we know about what's happening now, the better we can anticipate what might happen in the future.
That's the utility of intelligence and it's why everyone in your preparedness group, from the lowest level to the highest, should be involved in the intelligence gathering process.
Every member of your team is a sensor. We get all these sensors working to feed our intelligence analysis, and then we start reducing uncertainty about the future. It really is as simple as that.
If you agree, then I hope you'll sign up below to attend my next SHTF Intelligence webinar. You can register here.

Does pandering pay off?
Article subtitle:
Not according to the Florida primary results
NumbersUSA
Offered a stark choice on the illegal immigration issue, Florida Latino Republicans today broke nearly 2-1 for the candidate with the firmest opposition to amnesty and the strongest support for enforcement.
Mitt Romney's margin of victory among Latinos was nearly double his margin of victory among Whites.
For those of you who supported other candidates, you have to at least feel some real satisfaction that on the issue of immigration, Mitt Romney the winner was painted as by-far the strongest opponent of amnesty. You may have preferred another candidate -- including the President -- for other reasons, but most Florida voters went to the polls with the idea that Romney was indeed the toughest on immigration.
Pro-self-deportation Romney won the overall vote by 46% to 32%.
But pro-self-deportaton Romney won the Latino vote by 54% to 29%.
It was a strong rebuke of the majority of media commentators who insist that Latino-Americans can only be won by promising rewards for lawbreaking. It added a sign of much greater dignity in the rule of law for the Latino population than most in the media are willing to give it.
(Read my full analysis blog and join the discussion at: https://www.numbersusa.com/content/node/13013)
Nobody can say that Floridians -- both Latino and non-Latino -- weren't provided a clear choice on the immigration issue. Immigration may not have been a top issue for most of the voters but it was one of the most publicized parts of the debates and contest.
Newt Gingrich campaigned hard among Latino voters with his continuing call for legalization and work permits for many illegal aliens and his pounding criticism of his opponent as "anti-immigrant" for opposing legalization. Mitt Romney in two debates continued his campaign-long opposition to long-term work permits and legalization of illegal aliens and created a national media sensation by talking about "self-deportation" as the top goal for the illegal population.
WINNING MARGIN
Whites -- Anti-legalization Romney won by 13 percentage points
Latinos -- Anti-legalization Romney won by 25 percentage points
The results don't prove that Romney's anti-amnesty stance helped him with Latinos. But the results DO prove that a candidate can stand for the rule of law and for preferring unemployed American workers over illegal aliens and still win Latino support.
And that is a wonderful victory of the image of Latino-Americans and for all of us in our battle to say that unemployed Americans should have priority over illegal aliens for U.S. jobs.
Tonight's victor, Romney, put the issue in exactly those terms in the Jacksonville debate last Thursday night. Romney said: "You know, our problem is not 11 million grandmothers. Our problem is (APPLAUSE) ..... Our problem is 11 million people getting jobs that many Americans (and) legal immigrants would like to have."
Although that got one of the most enthusiastic rounds of applause of the debate, nearly all of the news media refused to offer that quote to the public. I believe that is because most reporters and editors in the news media refuse to believe it is possible that Americans and legal immigrants already here would take the construction, service and manufacturing jobs currently held by illegal aliens.

Author: Common Core 'Worst Large-Scale Educational Failure in 40 Years'
Joel Pollak / Breitbart News
An author of a study that examined the effects of the Common Core State Standards on school choice says the Obama-era K-12 school reform is the "worst large-scale educational failure in 40 years."
Ted Rebarber of AccountabilityWorks, co-author with Cato Institute's Neal McCluskey of the Pioneer Institute study, discussed at a Heritage Foundation event last week how Common Core has not only damaged public-school education, but also has presented obstacles to real school choice.
Rebarber observed the danger when politicians succumb to the allure of standards-based education reforms.
"Standards become the blueprint around which schools organize their teaching, their day-to-day academic operations," he said. "They're effectively curriculum central planning by government."
In the study, the authors observed that since Common Core was implemented in 45 states and Washington, DC, students have demonstrated sharp drops in academic performance. Additionally, those students who were already performing poorly– many of them minority students – declined even further.
Yet, in the name of accountability, when private school choice programs receive taxpayer-funded vouchers, they are often forced to adopt the curriculum on which the state standardized test is based. In most cases, that curriculum is aligned with Common Core.
According to the study, about two thirds of the nation's tuition grant ("voucher") programs mandate that schools administer a single curriculum-based test, usually a Common Core-aligned test, in order to receive the public funds.
An example is Central Christian Academy in Indiana, a state that has touted its extensive "school voucher" program. In 2017, the Christian school was presented with a "D" rating from the state because of students' scores on the state-mandated test – which they must take because the school is receiving public funds. The poor rating was accompanied by a threat of a loss of voucher funding, a prospect that could have led to the closing of the school since vouchers help many families afford this private school option.
Ultimately, Chalkbeat observed that Indiana made some changes to how it evaluates schools and Central Christian's students had to become more test-focused in order to remain open.
Nevertheless, the education news outlet noted that, in Indiana, private schools also "now live or die by test scores, too," just as public schools, because of vouchers.
"That money comes with strings attached, and low test scores have cost 16 schools the right to accept new vouchers," the report observed. "At least three have closed."
Ironically, private schools that accept vouchers are forced to do things the "Common Core way," even though dramatic declines in U.S. student performance on national and international assessments have occurred since the Core was implemented.
"Common Core blunts the innovation, dynamism and competition that is the heart of the school choice movement," McCluskey noted.
The Core was sold not only as a set of standards that was "rigorous" and designed to encourage higher levels of achievement, but also as a program that would shrink the achievement gap between middle-class students and those from the lower socioeconomic levels.
In April of 2016, only about 37 percent of U.S. 12th graders were shown to be prepared for math and reading at the college level, according to the 2015 NAEP – also known as the Nation's Report Card.
Additionally, results released by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) showed that on the Progress in International Reading Literacy Study (PIRLS), the U.S. has declined in performance from fifth in international ranking in 2011 to 13th in 2016 out of 58 international education systems.
The PIRLS revealed achievement for the top-performing 20 percent of students became flat over time, while the lowest 20 percent declined further.
"We seem to be declining as other education systems record larger gains on the assessment," said Peggy G. Carr, acting commissioner for the federal NCES, according to the Washington Post. "This is a trend we've seen on other international assessments in which the U.S. participates."
Accountability to the government has also become a major factor in terms of the content of what is taught and the services provided in religious schools that accept school vouchers.
NWItimes.com provides another example from Indiana.
Jennifer McCormick, the Republican state superintendent of public schools, has decided private schools that accept state voucher funds should not discriminate against LGBT children in admissions and other services – regardless of the school's faith beliefs.
McCormick's justification for her decision is based upon the Common Core "workforce development" model of education that views children as prospective laborers who can fulfill big business's needs for inexpensive, local workers.
"If our goal as a state is to develop a well-educated workforce, and one that we want businesses to come here because we're inclusive, we are accepting. I think part of that goes to our actions," McCormick said. "And when we still have schools that receive taxpayer dollars that can exclude students — that's a problem."
According to the report, McCormick said private schools that accept vouchers would need to have their admissions policies controlled by the state.

Shop Local | Eat Local | Spend Local | Enjoy Local
How Local Shopping Makes Sense in Globally Connected Marketplaces
www.shopview.in
Dev B. Kaushik
In the past few years, 'Local' has changed into a trendy buzzword, and for a good reason.
How often have you checked news magazines, Facebook, Twitter just to know about another world crisis? One more emergency? Yet another bailout plan for sick industries?
Don't you start feeling powerless sometimes? Depressed? Overwhelmed?
It's really tough not to feel like that way, when the difficulties are very massive….so distant… so critical...and unattainable…
But simply how much time and attention have you been giving to such discouraging and overwhelming global issues on which you have no control?
But why you are feeling powerless whenever you could take action in your own area, creating a difference, today?
Local shopping is the buzz today
If everyone did as "Think Globally, Act locally" quote suggested by the famous Paul McCartney.
Imagine if millions of people put the power which they are wasting currently, worrying all about the worldwide issues beyond their power and instead they start 'being making the changes' in their own communities.
We strongly believe that we'd end up creating such global change we are running after much faster and more sustainably in this way, because these solutions would give results from the bottom up side rather than the top down.
After fixing our cities and towns individually, we will collectively develop a more wealthy, pleasant and sustainable world.
In this digitally connected business landscapes of today, local marketplaces are focusing on empowering the shoppers, and factors like environment, economy and personal freedom have given boost to the trend.
Empowering the local marketplaces
The word 'Local' is the connection of community and collaboration. Since they grew up in your community, a local business is more attached to our city/town rather than the multi city chain stores, and they are more likely to contribute to the non profits.
But unfortunately, that's where there is disconnect. Although most of the customers claim that supporting local stores is important to them, but their wallets tell a different story.
The chains, big box stores and online stores account for a huge share of the potential spending on their communities. These big stores and business giants have managed to get an easy support for them and they do much of the marketing online and offline to stay at the top of the mind of consumers. They do take advantage of each and every loophole and the resources available, that's why more and more people are doing shopping with big businesses.
Making the sense of local shopping
It has just created a disconnection between what the people truly value and wherever they spend their money.
Such negative feedback makes it really tough for local businesses to support their community as they lack the profits and earnings necessary to spend on the projects they need to fund. But this income is being siphoned out of the communities, unfortunately, with the assistance of the local shoppers.
But if such leaks could be plugged, more revenue would flow through the entire local community, kicked off by the booming local businesses in your area.
It's our mission to support local businesses. How to make this happen? We have spent more than a decade in figuring out the solution. We have found two important keys to the success to support locals:
· Set up regular reminders in the entire community to support Local
· Provides shoppers with an online portal containing the complete local information
It will definitely help consumers to look locally first and it will increase the chances that they will find everything they need and provide the best ever experience that is as much convenient as possible.
It's really amazing when people will act locally if you ensure that it is simple for them.
Want more information on how can you bring this revolutionary change and movement to your community?
Get in touch with us at www.shopview.in, we look forward to help you out.

Q: How gwt receives the request and loads the ui while in development mode? I am new to GWT and understood the motive behind creating such good framework. However I could not understand how GWT builds the UI and shows while in development mode.
It is said that while bootstrapping .nocache.js file is loaded in the browser, then this file created a hidden iframe. Then depending on browser and language settings a .cache.html file is loaded in the iframe where all application logic resides.
What I could not understand is how gwt does this in development mode/ hosted mode. Because .cache.html files are not available in development mode. I assume that the sdk receives a request from .nocache.js file regarding the browser details and then generates a .cache.html file for that particular browser and that is loaded in the iframe. My question is how .nocache.js file sends a request to sdk to dynamically generate a .cache.html file? Or does it have something to do with hosted.html and the browser plugin? How the UI and RPC code is loaded while in development mode. For nocache.js file to send a request there must be a server program (Servlet) listening to the request and allowing GWt to start looking for entrypoint class and start generating the UI content.
I could not understand how gwt will come to know about the browser settings and generate the UI? Does hosted.html and browser plugin has something to do with the content generation?
I searched using google, but all my trials went useless. Or may be I searched using wrong search keys. Could anyone please tell me or point me to a link where it is clearly explained?

A: When an application is running in development mode, the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) is actually executing the application code as compiled Java bytecode, using GWT plumbing to connect to a browser window.

As of GWT 2.0, development mode uses a regular browser instead of an embedded browser. You can use any supported browser.
Out of process hosted mode (OOPHM) is an upcoming replacement for GWT hosted mode debugger. OOPHM allows one to use a standard browser (IE, Safari (32bit) and Firefox) for debugging GWT-client-side code.
With OOPHM you can:

*

*do modifications to your widgets with no time consuming Java-to-JavaScript recompilation
set breakpoints to widget code.

*use any advanced browser features and extensions not available in conventional hosted mode (Firebug for example).

The aim of this study was making a 3D modeling with the morphological characteristics of a first premolar from its morphometry. With reference to an anatomical diagram of a first upper premolar and morphometric relationships, it performs its contour plot (software Catya) considering at least three cross-sections of the figure seen occlusal, mesial-distal (AP) and one vestibulo- palatal (L). 2d obtained model is completed by extrapolation to obtain a three-dimensional mesh which subsequently transforms triangu- lar elements premolar model being ready to be imported into the software of the finite element analysis (Ansys) where these elements are transformed into the once plate elements connected by beams which gives a linear and isometric to which also inputs values of mechanical properties for each tissue for the analysis. Thus the figure obtained allows us to reproduce the morphology of the premolar and the relationships among its components, including linearity and isometry conferred allows us to study the mechanical behavior in any section of the model. Computational design of anatomical structures from a contour drawing based on their morphology and morphometry using the technique described results in a complementary alternative to study the morphology and mechanical analyzes of teeth or other anatomical structures.

Are you interested in buying amitamin® products and live in Asia?
Unfortunately we do not have any distributor and presence in Asian markets.
But there are a lot of international customers interested in buying our products. Many of them have used a service called "Shop and Ship", which is an international courier service. The service is offered for Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Brunei, India, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Nepal, Pakistan, Philippines, Singapore, Sri Lanka, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, Tonga and Vietnam.
Disclaimer: Please note that the following process works for many people, but we cannot guarantuee that it works for your country, product and individual shipment. The information is current as of Jan 2016.
1) You register at ShopandShip.com. It´s an easy and free online process.
Please choose Credit card payment or Paypal payment. Other payment types will NOT work.
Please double check your address. Errors in the address will cause long delays!
3) We send the ordered products to the given address, the Kelsterbach logistics hub. Then, the courier service will open the parcel, check the invoice from us, prepare the custom documents. They can also combine the order with other orders from other companies you might make out of Germany. They will send the product to you via courier mail, and they will do the customs procedure for you. Once the product is on the way from Germany to your home, you must pay ShopandShip.com directly.
For more details, please see here or contact ShopandShip.com !
Why don´t we send the goods directly to you?
We cannot send the products directly to you, because when a company sends items internationally, they are subject to intense customs routines. The products might be rejected at the customs. The reason is that our packaging is in line with European Union legislation - but that differs from your country´s regulation. The differences are probably small, e.g. there are slightly different nutritional reference values and there are other standard informational phrases that have to be on the packaging. But they are big enough to make local customs reject the goods at your frontier.
Having said that, we cannot ship to any country in Asia, or anywhere else outside Europe. Using the ShopandShip.com courier service is at your own risk - but we do have good customer experience for a number of countries.
Is there another way to buy amitamin® products in Asia?
What is possible is that if you travel to Europe, you may purchase the products here and bring them with your luggage back to your country in Asia. If you take an amount that is not commercial but for private use, probably up to twelve packages, there should be no problems at the customs. All ingredients are registered as food supplements and the formula and ingredients would almost certainly be in line with your local regulations. But: the packaging is not in line with regulations in Asia, so we cannot do any commercial shipping.
You may also have a friend or relative in Europe. That person could also buy the products and send a private parcel toyour country. This parcel should pass customs without any problems. We already tested this way of sending products to friends in the USA.
Is there a Distributor in Asia?
Unfortunately not at this point of time. If you represent a Distributor that has reputable online and offline presence, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Activist bankers hate money when its coal powered
Matthew Sheahan April 01, 2022
Shareholder activism is cheating Australians out of unimaginable wealth, and it's time we did something about it.
As reported by The Sydney Moaning Herald of all publications, an investor-led retreat from fossil fuels is restricting Australian coal miners' ability to increase supplies despite the stunning rally in commodity prices since Russia invaded Ukraine.
The numbers are clear.
Europe's scramble to find non-Russian supplies of coal, oil and gas, has added to a global energy crunch and pushed the price of high-quality power-station coal at the Port of Newcastle up 40 per cent to a record $US446 a tonne in March. The price of Queensland coking coal, used for steel-making, has risen 33 per cent and peaked above $US660 a tonne.
Unfortunately, Australia is unable to capitalise upon the incredible boom.
According to UBS analyst Lachlan Shaw, the coal industry "does not have an easy pathway to more production" any time soon even though demand for coal isn't going anywhere but up for the time being.
This is because on the supply side, large investors are pulling back from fossil fuels because of hype and hysteria about climate change.
For instance, large resources companies including top Australian miner BHP have been increasingly divesting their coal assets and selling them to smaller players, which require a much higher return on capital to invest in new projects.
In fact, just a few months ago BHP sold a high-quality Queensland coal mine to Chinese-owned Indonesian company Stanmore Resources who must be very happy to have capitalised off the gullibility of BHP.
"The small number of new projects being developed in Australian east coast coal fields will be significantly offset by depletion of existing mines that are running out of resources," Mr Shaw said.
"So, net-net, the outlook for Australian coal exports volumes are pretty flat, to be honest, even with these very, very high prices."
This is an absolute disgrace.
Australia has the highest quality thermal and coking in the world.
We are selling all of it overseas to Chinese steelmakers and power stations, while neglecting our very own manufacturers.
And even when coal prices reach record highs, our large miners won't increase the coal output and open up new mines because activist bankers and shareholders are more concerned about going net zero than making money for Australia and addressing our mounting energy security risks.
The same thing is going on when it comes to nuclear energy.
Australia sells enough uranium overseas to power our entire country plus some; and yet the government still won't legalise it and enable households, business and manufactures to enjoy cheap, stable (and net zero) power like the rest of the world.
What a joke!
Although we agree with former Prime Minister Tony Abbott's recent declaration that Australia "is still the lucky country", it seems we're slowly turning into the "lazy country", and it may be the death of us.
The clock is ticking, and the solution is simple: more coal, more gas, more oil, more manufacturing, legalise nuclear, and let's ensure we can defend ourselves from the increasingly belligerent Chinese Communist Party that's now building military bases off the coast of far north Queensland.
It can't be too much to ask for…

Q: No way to debug iOS issues in web apps from Windows? I've found a few bugs while testing a web app on an iPad Pro and iPhone 7 Plus that I can't replicate with any browser in Windows or Android and I cannot find any way to remote debug Safari in Windows.
I tried using RemoteDebug iOS WebKit Adapter but the devices don't appear to be discoverable with either the Chrome or VS Code debuggers.
I've confirmed that Web Inspector is enabled in Safari, the device is discoverable and trusted using iTunes, and that all necessary/recommended dependencies are installed. The server starts fine, there are just no devices listed in the debuggers.
Some searching through replies to previously submitted questions suggests that this has been broken for versions of iOS > 11 but the latest commit to that repo suggests support for iOS 12.2+ has been added as of January 2 of this year. (I'm trying to debug the app for iOS 13.3)
I'm curious if anyone else has run into this and have found any workarounds for debugging iOS specific issues using a Windows PC. Or if there are good alternate solutions (short of buying a Mac) if not.

A: Followed the steps described by John Washam. I did tried this yesterday (iPAD Pro with iOS 14 and Windows 10) and I can confirm that it works.
Here to summarize the solution for remote debugging iOS devices > iOS 11:

*

*Install iTunes on your Windows 10 PC.

*Install Node.js.

*Download the most recent ZIP release file of the remotedebug-ios-webkit-adapter

*Create a new folder named "ios-webkit-debug-proxy-1.8.8-win64-bin" at the following location (assumes you installed Node.js in the default directory):
%AppData%\npm\node_modules\remotedebug-ios-webkit-adapter\node_modules\vs-libimobile\

*Extract the files from the ZIP to that folder:
%AppData%\npm\node_modules\remotedebug-ios-webkit-adapter\node_modules\vs-libimobile\ios-webkit-debug-proxy-1.8.8-win64-bin

--> The folder vs-libimobile was missing in my case thus I simply created it.

*Edit the iosAdapter.js file. Open the file from the following location
%AppData%\npm\node_modules\remotedebug-ios-webkit-adapter\out\adapters\iosAdapter.js. On line 125ff., change the proxy variable to the following value (path to the ois_webkit_debug_proxy.exe):
const proxy = path.resolve(__dirname, '../../node_modules/vs-libimobile/ios-webkit-debug-proxy-1.8.8-win64-bin/ios_webkit_debug_proxy.exe');

*Go to %AppData%\npm, open PowerShell and type in the following command:
.\remotedebug_ios_webkit_adapter --port=9000

*Open up Chrome on your Win PC and browse to chrome://inspect/#devices.
Since we set the adapter to listen on port 9000, we need to add a network target. Click "Configure" next to Discover network targets:

*Enable web inspector on your iOS device.
Take your iOS device and go to Settings > Safari > Advanced and enable Web Inspector.

*Open Safari on your iOS device and browse to a website.
You should almost immediately see the website appear in Chrome under the Remote Target section.

A: With WSL2 you can install a webkit browser that behaves almost the same as Safari desktop to debug your CSS issues.
Here's an article that explains step by step how to install a webkit browser in Windows

A: The creator of remotedebug-ios-webkit-adapter here. I've built a replacement for RemoteDebug called Inspect, which packages everything together in a pleasant experience and enables easy iOS web debugging from Windows, macOS, and Linux, with a few extra features like screen-casting and Wi-Fi debugging, that you might find useful.

A: After many hours googling and trying to get iTunes to recognize the phone (needed driver update from Windows update), and then trying to get to work with remotedebug-ios-webkit-adapter since it doesn't work properly for iOS 13+ and breaks when inspecting styles or objects, found ios-safari-remote-debug-kit which worked correctly on Windows 10 machine to debug a webpage running on an iPhone 7 with iOS 15.4.
Additional steps: For me, the Python webserver didn't work, so had to remove the condition at line 46 of start.ps1 script to just use the NodeJS one.
Update: Installing Python3 from Windows Store fixed Python server issue.

HomeSocietyNew study finds tropical deforestation recovers quickly, naturally
New study finds tropical deforestation recovers quickly, naturally
Committee For A Constructive Tomorrow - December 19, 2021
Scientists estimate that some 5.5 million hectares of tropical forests (about twice the size of the nation of Belize) is lost each year due human agriculture. Though worrisome to environmentalists, it is important to note there is also significant agricultural land that it reclaimed by nature when it is abandoned for commercial use.
The question is, can the soil on this abandoned farmland return to its natural state relatively quickly?
Fortunately, new research reveals the answer is "Yes". As reported in the Washington Post, a recent study found that "soil on previously deforested land can recover its fertility in less than a decade," and do so largely without any help from mankind.
As printed in the Washington Post:
"The study, published Thursday in the journal Science, found that under low-intensity use, soil on previously deforested land can recover its fertility in less than a decade. Characteristics such as the layering of plants and trees in a forest, as well as species diversity, came back in about 25 to 60 years.
'I was totally surprised how quickly it went,' said Lourens Poorter, an ecologist at Wageningen University in the Netherlands and lead author on the paper. 'These forests can recover very fast and they can do it by themselves.'
… Poorter says [this recovery] is due to a number of factors. The subsurface soil, for example, often remains relatively vibrant after deforestation, which enables a faster recovery. The warmth and humidity of the tropics also allow trees to grow extremely fast, with some species climbing more than a dozen feet per year.
And this all happens largely without human intervention, Poorter said. Seeds, roots and stumps embedded in the soil, or the spread of plants from adjacent forests, kick-start the recovery process.
'The influence of humans is relatively minor compared to what nature itself is doing,' he said. 'The conditions are that there has to be nearby forests, and the soil can't be too degraded.'
Although these trends had been previously observed on the local level or in a small number of locations, this paper drew on 77 sites in three continents, comprising 2,275 plots and 226,343 stems.

Scheduled car maintenance is no one's idea of fun, but breakdowns are harder by far, and, as a general rule, worse for your bank account than visiting a mechanic at regular intervals. If you're close to certain limits, take notice: it's time for regularly scheduled maintenance with Christian Brothers in Monument, CO.
We've all heard about things like oil changes, and it's hard to miss worn-out wipers, but many people don't know about or even understand regular maintenance when their odometers reach milestones such as 60,000, 50,000, or 100,000 miles. This can mean serious problems such as your car wearing out too quickly or even your car being junked. It could also puts you in danger of paying more than you should to dishonest mechanics, resellers and dealerships.
• Keep a log: If you keep a list of every service appointment and repair, you will be better off. You can use a book or app to track service appointments, and you can also track stuff like wipers, timing belt replacement, hose replacement and flushes with this simple trick. To go the extra mile, consider adding fueling information and data about oil checks to help track fuel efficiency and spot leaks early.
• Use the manual: Autos should come with a booklet just for their make and model, and these booklets contain the official recommendations for servicing your vehicle. These recommendations can vary substantially, so they end up trusting what potentially dishonest dealers and mechanics say about the maintenance their vehicle needs. We know the correct specs for every vehicle we service at Christian Brothers Automotive in Monument, CO, but you can't rely on all mechanics. If you do, it could thousands of extra dollars.
• Don't forget to wash your auto: Looking nice and shiny is not the same as functionality, but keeping your car free of dirt and grime top to bottom can be considered part of maintenance. If you don't frequent the car wash, the spots will damage your paint.
• Compose a list: Forgetting about vehicle maintenance is a common problem, but an easy way to plan for everything is to make a list of all the maintenance your vehicle will ever need when you buy it. Then, mark it all as your vehicle reaches. If handwritten lists aren't for you, you can find online or mobile apps for the job.

EU green light for Cimzia to treat psoriasis
The European Medicines Agency has approved a label extension for UCB's Cimzia allowing its use to treat adults with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis who are candidates for systemic therapy.
The approval makes Cimzia (certolizumab pegol), the first Fc-free, PEGylated anti-TNF treatment option for use in moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis "and marks the entry of UCB into immuno-dermatology, where significant unmet need currently exists," the firm noted.
The CIMPASI-1 and -2 and CIMPACT trials confirmed the efficacy and safety of the drug in this setting.
In all three trials, the drug showed "statistically significant improvements for all primary and co-primary endpoints compared to placebo at all tested doses", and the clinical benefit was maintained through to week 48, according to the firm.
In the CIMPACT trial, the response rate for patients who achieved a PASI 75 after 12 weeks' treatment was 66.7 percent for those receiving Cimzia 400mg every two weeks and 61.3 percent for those getting Cimzia 200mg every two weeks, compared to just 5.0 percent for patients in the placebo group.
At week 16, response rates for patients who achieved a PASI 75 were 74.7 percent and 68.2 percent, respectively, versus 3.8 percent for those taking a placebo.
"Despite available treatments, patients with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis can still experience poor control of symptoms, which can significantly impact their quality of life.
"[The] approval provides patients and their healthcare professionals with a biologic option with 10 years of clinical experience in multiple inflammatory disease indications that may offer durable disease control for psoriasis patients in Europe," said Professor Richard Warren, consultant dermatologist, Salford Royal NHS Foundation Trust.
Psoriasis affects nearly three percent of the population, or around 125 million people worldwide.
In Europe, Cimzia is already approved as a treatment for rheumatoid arthritis, active psoriatic arthritis and axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA).

Alphabet robotics division Intrinsic hit with layoffs
Culture, Tech
The company's "Other Bets" division is the first to see impact. As the name not so subtly implies, these divisions operate outside key focuses like search and ads. With many of the firms having graduated from the Alphabet X moonshot factory, the operation has taken on an almost in-house accelerator style role. Earlier this week, life science firm Verily got hit with a 15% cut, amounting to around 240 people. "While these programs are promising and led by talented Veeps, and some of their innovations will integrate into our other core solutions, we cannot do everything and have had to make some difficult choices," CEO Stephen Gillett said in a blog post. "Some Veeps will be redeployed to other teams; others will unfortunately be leaving us. These people have helped make Verily the company it is today, and I know how hard it is to see valued friends and colleagues depart." Alphabet's robot software firm, Intrinsic, has also been impacted. It will be laying off 40 employees TechCrunch has confirmed. It's a big hit for the young division, amounting to around 20% of headcount. It's also, frankly, a bit of an about-face for an area that appeared to be growing quickly. In fact, our last two conversations with the company have centered around acquisitions. In less than a year, Intrinsic has acquired both Vicarious and Open Robotics — the latter having been announced less than a month ago. "Intrinsic's leadership has made the difficult decision to let go a number of our team members," a spokesperson told TechCrunch. "We have communicated the news directly with them. We fully acknowledge how hard this will be and are offering as much proactive support as possible. This decision was made in light of shifts in prioritization and our longer-term strategic direction. It will ensure Intrinsic can continue to allocate resources to our highest priority initiatives, such as building our software and AI platform, integrating the recent strategic acquisitions of Vicarious and OSRC (commercial arm Open Robotics), and working with key industry partners. While incredibly tough to do, we believe this decision is necessary for us to continue our mission." At the very least, it's a big hit for an organization just getting its sea legs. There are a lot of companies competing in the same space as Intrinsic, so it's hard to say how much of a step back such news will ultimately be. Earlier this week, fellow X robotics alum Mineral announced that it had just graduated from the lab.

The Morane-Saulnier L, also known as the Morane-Saulnier Type L was a French parasol wing one or two-seat aeroplane of the First World War. The Type L became one of the first successful fighter aircraft when it was fitted with a single machine gun that fired through the arc of the propeller, which was protected by armoured deflector wedges. Its immediate effectiveness in this role launched an arms race in fighter development, and the Type L was swiftly rendered obsolete. The original Type L used wing warping for lateral control, but a later version designated Type LA was fitted with ailerons.[1]
Built by Morane-Saulnier, large numbers of the Type L were ordered by the French Aviation Militaire at the outbreak of the war, being designated the MS.3. In total about 600 Type Ls were built and, in addition to the French air force, they served with the Royal Flying Corps, Royal Naval Air Service and the Imperial Russian Air Service.
The type was also produced under licence in Germany by Pfalz Flugzeugwerke as the unarmed A.I and A.II scouts, and later the E.III armed scout. A few Type Ls captured by Germany were fitted with a single German Spandau IMG 08 machine gun. These captured and converted aircraft are often mistaken for Pfalz E.IIIs.[2]
The Morane-Saulnier L was also built under licence in Sweden as the "Thulin D".

In December 1914, renowned French aviator Roland Garros, then serving with Escadrille 23, worked with Raymond Saulnier to create a gun synchronizer, around the gas operated Hotchkiss light machine gun, however the firing rate fluctuated too much, defeating efforts to get the synchronizer to function properly.[3] As an interim measure, they then designed a "safety backup" in the form of braced "deflectors" (metal wedges), fitted to the rear surfaces of the propeller blades at the points where they could be struck by a bullet.[3] Garros took his Type L fighter into combat with the deflectors in March 1915 and achieved immediate success, shooting down three German aircraft in April, a noteworthy feat at the time. The copper and brass-jacketed bullets that the French used were not likely to damage the harder steel of the wedges themselves. On 18 April 1915, Garros' deflector-equipped Type L force-landed behind German lines and was captured before Garros could burn it. Ironically, a trio of two seat Morane Type L aircraft were also the first victims of a production fighter, when Leutnant Kurt Wintgens, while flying his Parabellum machine gun-armed Fokker Eindecker M.5K/MG production prototype — basically patterned after the Morane-Saulnier H, but built with Fokker's wire-braced chrome/molybdenum steel tubing fuselage structure — fitted with the Fokker Stangensteuerung gun synchronizer system, downed one over Luneville on July 1, 1915, followed by two more similar victories on July 4 and 15, with the final one of the trio being Wintgens' first confirmed aerial victory. About 50 Type Ls were delivered to Britain's Royal Flying Corps, which used them as reconnaissance aircraft during 1915,[4] with a further 25 being operated by the Royal Naval Air Service. On 7 June 1915 one of these aircraft, flown by Flight Sub-Lieutenant Reginald Alexander John Warneford of 1 Squadron RNAS intercepted Zeppelin LZ.37, destroying it, the first Zeppelin to be destroyed in the air. Warneford received the Victoria Cross for this achievement.[5]

The North Amherst Community Farm non-profit is working to restore the original farm house that has been part of this local farm since the 1830's. This project is not only a legacy for the Ingram-Dickinson homestead of North Amherst, MA but will also provide affordable housing for apprentice farmers and future farm managers working with Simple Gifts Farm for many years to come.
The history of the farm house offers an interesting view of how farming in the Pioneer Valley has changed over the past 200 years. Initially a grain and livestock farm, after the Civil War the farm shifted to raising meat and vegetables for local sales and shipping. In the 20th century ownership of the farm passed from the Ingram-Dickinson's to the Dziekanowski's, with the latter developing a dairy operation.
In 2005, the Dziekanowski's sold the property to the North Amherst Community Farm, a non-profit entity formed to protect the land from development. NACF now leases the property to Simple Gifts Farm, managed by Jeremy Barker-Plotkin and David Tepfer. Simple Gifts is a leader in the local organic farming sector, growing food for the local community and maintaining the land and buildings in active farm use.
Almost one-third of New England farms are managed by farmers over 65 years of age. To preserve the distinctive character of our region, strengthen local food security and continue our farming traditions, we need to cultivate the next generation of farmers! The state of Massachusetts, and the town of Amherst, have done a good job of preserving farmland, but housing costs can be another major barrier for young people seeking to get into farming. This project will help address that need.
The restoration of the NACF farmhouse is being completed with the help of Community Preservation Act funding from the Town of Amherst. A critical first step was to hire a historic buildings consultant, Gregory Farmer, to assist us in researching the previous 180 years in the life of this important farm structure.
- restore the building to its rightful place as an attractive presence on North Pleasant Street.
For more on this story and pictures of the progress we are making, please go to our NACF Blog page .
Through both financial gifts, in-kind donations, and volunteer labor from these groups, we are on track to complete this project by the spring of 2019.
We need to raise $10,000 to finish the job and you can help!
Thanks to your help, we have raised $1, 265 so far to continue the work on our farmhouse restoration project in North Amherst. I wonder if you might help us just a little bit more by sharing this campaign with a few of your friends.
