Freezing rain and ice pellets continue to make for a messy drive around the GTA.
A freezing drizzle advisory from Environment Canada remained in effect Wednesday night after sheets of freezing rain and ice pellets swept over the city for much of the day.
That freezing drizzle is expected to continue overnight and into Thursday morning.
Speaking with CP24 on Wednesday afternoon, Ontario Provincial Police Sgt. Kerry Schmidt said that the messy weather has already created "slushy and miserable" road conditions across much of the GTA.
He said that while salt trucks have been treating most major roads, the conditions are likely to deteriorate further as the freezing rain continues to fall this afternoon.
Schmidt said that there have been numerous collisions amid the messy weather, including a jackknifed tractor trailer on Highway 401 near Renforth Drive.
He said that conditions aren't likely to improve for some time either.
"The salt is doing its work but anywhere where it is not salted it could certainly lead to icing, freezing conditions and slippery roads later on," he said.
A number of universities and colleges have also closed down.
The University of Toronto's Mississauga campus was closed for the day while Ryerson University, Seneca College, George Brown College, The University of Toronto's St. George and Scarborough campuses, Durham College and the University of Ontario Institute of Technology all opted to close as of this afternoon.
Canada Post says all mail delivery was also suspended on Wednesday afternoon due to treacherous conditions.
"We encourage customers to clear the snow and ice from their walkways, stairs, and driveways, to ensure safe access to the front door for both their visitors, as well as their mail carriers, when service resumes," a spokesperson said.
Salters were on standby at locations across the city beginning at 4 a.m. and have been busy throughout the day.
As of late this afternoon, a third round of salting on main roads was underway and the first round of salting on local roads was mostly complete, according to the city's winter operations department.
The city has said that the second round of salting on local roads will begin overnight Thursday and continue for up to 24 hours.
He said that approach is particularly necessary in light of the constantly changing conditions.
"We have seen little bit of everything today. It started out with ice pellets, that turned to snow and then we saw some rain and now a little bit of freezing rain," he said.

K-Pop Idol Trainer Gives His Choreography Analysis Of BTS's "Dynamite"
Here's a quick rundown.
BTS's "Dynamite" has been breaking records left and right and most recently reaching their 100th music show win since their debut!
| @bts_bighit/Twitter
With all these amazing achievements, it's only right to take a closer look at the choreography and see what makes it so good.
K-Pop idol trainer and YouTuber In Jiwoong gives his take on the choreography for "Dynamite" and talks about the advantages of BTS's dance line.
The choreography itself is not super flashy nor does it focus on technicality, and rather starts off with a more straightforward and simple style. The dance starts with Jungkook and right off the bat you can see that his physical is quite different from the others.
— In Jiwoong
The trainer emphasizes the fact that the most important thing for K-Pop dance is the physique. While all the members are capable of dancing to the disco pop genre with a more fluid and soft approach, Jungkook's physique gives him a more powerful and strong approach.
Although it may seem a bit strong for a light disco pop genre, Jungkook is actually dancing to the disco pop genre while carrying the essence of K-Pop with him.
He feels that Jungkook's ability to learn quickly and understand the foundation of K-Pop dance makes him one of the best students for K-Pop.
Moving on to J-Hope, he reveals that J-Hope's overall vibe in dancing stems from his neck. Many other dancers such as Lia Kim, have emphasized the fact that a certain type of groove or swag usually comes from neck movements.
In the clip below, you can see that while others may use their shoulders and bounce up and down, J-Hope utilizes his neck to go the opposite direction of his shoulders, giving the move a different vibe.
J-Hope focuses on even the smallest details regardless of whether or not he is seen and that's what catches the viewer's attention. Any time you see J-Hope dance, there is always something to see and something you can learn from him.
Taking a look at Jimin, the trainer expresses that his choice of clothing for the video took away his ballerino physique and ability to make the dance seem a bit more disco. Moving on to his dance, he explains that there is always a certain part in the song where Jimin takes center stage and bursts out a bunch of energy.
In this practice video, you can see just how well he is able to explode with energy at the right time. Throughout the song, he is able to control how strong and soft he moves depending on the part in the song.
With V, he has always been able to make his moves very sharp and on point. But for this dance, he seems to dance with a more smooth and peaceful vibe with a hint of cuteness.
He felt that this style of choreography was able to show a different side of V. He also added that with a face like V, it honestly wouldn't matter what style of dance he was doing on stage.
For idol groups, it's not just the music and the dance but the talent that really makes them shine above the rest. He compliments the group for being able to show that talent in a very easy way, making it a point that other groups should learn as well.

The article describes the series of events and the decisions which in the years 1908–1911 resulted in transfer of the field courses in silviculture of the University of Helsinki from the old training region of the Evo Forest Institute in Central Finland, where higher education in forestry had been given since 1860. The establishment of the new training region of Siikakangas and the building of the new Forest Training Station Hyytiälä in 1911–1912 are also described, as well as the arguments behind these decisions and the motives of the forestry faculty of the University of Helsinki.

English keywords: Finnish Forest Research Institute; University of Helsinki; research institutes; forest research; cooperation
The paper discusses the cooperation between the research workers of the Forestry Departments, University of Helsinki, and of the Finnish Forest Research Institute. Although the fusion of these institutes might even seem to be justified in order to guarantee a coordination of the research work, no drawbacks exist in the present organization which could not be removed with cooperation.
In fact, cooperation has hitherto taken place in many forms both in teaching and research: working groups in the various branches of research have recently prepared a program for the development of research (Silva Fennica 1:4; 1967), leading scientists of the Institute act as lecturers at the University and some university teachers as associate researchers at the Institute.
On the other hand, in some cases lack of cooperation may have led to uncertainty and inconvenience of practical forestry. Therefore, a better system of information between scientists should be created and the continuity of cooperation strengthened. In conferences between the university and institute people, development work within the various fields of research should be cleared up with a long-range aim. The conference day of the scientists in the beginning of each year is mentioned as one possibility to start the cooperation.

English keywords: forest research; forest sciences; forest policy; research funding; Forest Research Institute; Finland; University of Helsinki
In 1956 the Finnish Government appointed a committee to plan the promotion of forest research in accordance with the needs of the national economy. The present publication contains an account of the committee's work and its recommendations.
Attention is drawn to the fact that forestry in Finland is a natural and important means of livelihood. Hence forestry research must be effective and versatile, for extensive forestry calls for intensive research. In the subsequent chapters, a historical survey of forest research in Finland is presented, including a list of the institutes, organisations and other bodies active in this work. Finnish forest research is mainly centred around Forest Research Institute, which was founded in 1918, and similar research is also pursued at the University of Helsinki, as well as by many other institutes and scientific societies.
After a reviewing the present needs for research and the demands intensive forestry sets upon scientific investigation, the committee concludes that contemporary forest research in Finland cannot completely satisfy these demands. Consequently, the country's research institutes should be expanded and developed considerably.
The recommendations concern mainly the development of the Forest Research Institute. The committee suggests doubling the personnel of the institute, creating several new departments and increasing the financial allocation to the institute. Certain reforms in the administration of the institute is also recommended. Special attention is drawn to the development of the publicity service. Also, the research in the forestry departments University of Helsinki should be developed. National and international co-operation between various research institutes and organizations should be improved.
The report is supplemented by a draft proposal concerning legislation on the Forest Research Institute, a plan for developing the training of research workers and a recommendation on the retention of certain land areas for scientific and experimental work carried out by the Forest Research Institute.

English title: Proposal for the establishment of an agricultural university in Finland.
Original keywords: maatalousyliopisto; metsäopetus; maatalousopetus; eläinlääkintä; Helsingin yliopisto; maanmittaus
English keywords: University of Helsinki; forestry education; veterinary sciences; surveying; agricultural education; university of agriculture
The Agricultural University Committee recommended in its first report that the higher education in agriculture and forestry should be transferred to Helsinki, the capital of Finland. The same arguments that were presented on the education of agriculture and forestry can be applied to education of agricultural engineers, surveyors and veterinaries.
According to the proposal of the Committee, the Government reserved in 1931 buildings in Wiik and Malmgård estates for the education of agriculture and forestry. Thus, the higher education of agriculture and forestry have been appointed training areas near Helsinki, where also the education of agricultural engineers, surveyors and veterinaries could be located.
Connections to the University of Helsinki has proven invaluable to the development of higher education of agriculture and forestry. However, the Committee recommends the establishment of separate agricultural university for the sectors, because the other faculties support the separation of the faculty from the university. It seems to the Committee that education in agriculture and forestry no longer poses sufficient opportunities of development within the University of Helsinki. The education in veterinary science should remain in connection to education in agriculture. The education of surveyors and agricultural engineers are at present arranged partly at the Technical University, and their location remains to be decided. A proposal for the organization, staff, education, decrees and professors is included in the article.

How can autoimmune hemolytic anaemia be treated?
My 57 years old mother has been diagnosed with autoimmune hemolytic anaemia. She is on steroids and because of this her haemoglobin level has increased from 3.6 to 10.1. How long will she need to take steroids? How can she be treated?
Autoimmune hemolytic anaemia (AIHA) is a type of hemolytic anaemia where the body's immune system attacks its own red blood cells (RBCs), leading to their destruction (hemolysis). If symptoms are mild or if destruction of red blood cells seems to be slowing on its own, no treatment is needed. If red blood cell destruction is increasing, a corticosteroid such as prednisone is usually the first choice for treatment. High doses are used at first, followed by a gradual reduction of the dose over many weeks or months. When people do not respond to corticosteroids or when the corticosteroid causes intolerable side effects, surgery to remove the spleen (splenectomy) is often the next treatment. The spleen is removed because it is one of the places where antibody-coated red blood cells are destroyed. When destruction of red blood cells persists after removal of the spleen or when surgery cannot be done, immunosuppressive drugs, such as cyclophosphamide or azathioprine are used. When red blood cell destruction is severe, blood transfusions are sometimes needed, but they do not treat the cause of the anaemia and provide only temporary relief.

Willemstad – In December 2018, Curaçao registered a hotel occupancy of 74.3%. That's a positive increase of 2.4% compared to 2017.
Both the Average Daily Rate (ADR) and the Revenue per Available Room (RevPar) have also increased in the month of December according to the figures provided by CHATA. The ADR in December 2018 was $195.18 which is $19.53 more than in 2017. And the RevPar was $145.11, which is $19.09 more than the year before. December signals the start of the high season within the tourism industry. There is a high demand for our destination, especially coming from countries with a cold weather such as the Netherlands. This high demand leads to an increase of the ADR as well as occupancy. The data on hotel performance is collected monthly by STR. The figures are based on 11-14 properties which represent a total of 2500 rooms on the island.
In the coming weeks, CHATA will also emit a year review to reflect on the hotel performance of 2018. The figures already indicate that 2018 has outperformed 2017. For more information about hotel performance visit www.chata.org.

Second Chances Are the Best Prizes at the Yellow Ribbon Run!
By Aidan H. August 17, 2016 Updated: November 9, 2018 5 Mins Read
Have you ever visited a jail or prison? It's a bone-chilling experience. Doors clank shut behind you as if you are moving through concentric circles of Hades and the world as you know it no longer exists. In a society like Singapore, where the legal system is rigid and a British-style court system dispenses harsh punishments, prison can either turn a convict around or doom him to a life of recidivism.
Despite this reality, Singapore's humanity is front and centre every time an effort is made to rehabilitate the incarcerated, and this article shines a light on one of the most inspiring organisations of all: The Yellow Ribbon Project!
One Inmate's Story
His story isn't unique: A young man raised in poverty with emotional issues leads a life of despair because in addition to being disadvantaged, he's also gay. Turning to drugs and crime, his cycle of self-abuse continued unabated until it led where so many other dark stories do: prison.
Badly discriminated against in the general population due to his sexual orientation, this prisoner's despair continued on a downward spiral until a miracle of sorts occurred. He was diagnosed with HIV and transferred to a unit exclusively for AIDS/HIV prisoners.
To this day, he still calls that transfer "the most rejuvenating experience in my 30 years of life." Today, he is free and productive thanks to turning his life around.
All Walks of Life
You'll find old men and young men — women and girls — in Singapore's prison communities. As recently as 2015, a Straits Times article profiled improvements made on behalf of the country's elderly incarcerated population.
Senior-friendly cells in Changi Prison and six other institutions were retrofitted with railings and handicap-style fixtures for the safety of these prisoners.
With more than 300,000 convicts in the system who are aged 65 and older, such improvements show a humane side of the Singapore penal system.
But this is no rosy picture. Life is difficult in prison. It can be life-threatening. Read updates on PrisonTalk and you will learn that deprivation and hardships are commonplace throughout the Singapore system where the convicted are so beaten down, they often leave prison in worse shape than they were in when they arrived — which is why the Yellow Ribbon Project is so important.

The Yellow Ribbon Project
The case study presented at the beginning of this article tells of a man who turned his life around while still in prison, but others are less fortunate. It's terribly easy to fall back into bad habits post release and the stigma attached to formerly incarcerated people in Singapore is a nightmare. That's why the Yellow Ribbon Project exists.
On average, 9,000 offenders are released from prisons and drug rehab centres every year and without a proper support system, many would be candidates for incarceration again.
The Yellow Ribbon Project is committed to freeing ex-offenders from what's euphemistically called "a second prison."
There are no steel bars, but post-prison success is too often impeded by mistrust, discrimination and prejudice that dogs men and women after their release. Yellow Ribbon supporters are working hard to ensure a society that's more accepting of ex-prisoners and the abolishment of prejudice and stigmas that keep ex-offenders from enjoying a second chance at life.
In order to help raise the funds necessary to accomplish such worthwhile goals, Singapore hosts this philanthropic group's popular annual run in early fall. It's named the Yellow Ribbon Run, and every dollar raised at this high-profile event helps unlock that second prison door, so if you participate, you get the chance to engage both your heart and your feet to help bring about social change.
About the Race
As summer comes to its inevitable end, the Yellow Ribbon Run kicks off at 7:45 a.m. or 8:15 a.m. on 4th September 2016. Race-related activities take place at SAF Field in Changi Village, so whether you intend to run the competitive 10km or the 5km Fun Walk, your contribution toward changing attitudes and supporting ex-convicts will be counted!
If you wait until the regular registration period, you'll donate more to the cause, but either way, your participation will raise hearts, minds and spirits.
Need a 10km to fill out your early fall running calendar? This is it. Pick up entitlements including a Puma brand t-shirt, e-certificate, sponsor-provided gifts, a finisher's medal and a race bib with timing chip. Non-competitive walkers get the same booty minus a chipped race bib.
Race pack collection dates are 20th and 21st August between 11 a.m. and 8 p.m. at Suntec Singapore Convention & Exhibition Centre, level 3 Concourse.
Runners taking part in the 10km race are expected to pull out all stops because 20 cash prizes in both men's and women's categories will be awarded.
Those finishing in 4th through 10th places receive S$100. Come in third and claim S$200 or snag S$300 if you're the runner up. We're betting you've already got a goal in mind if you take the S$500 first prize in each gender category!
Will you celebrate your precious freedom by running "The road to acceptance" while counting your blessings and helping others?

Shopping for the young ones can be a traumatic experience when one meets size 6 and size 6X not knowing what the key difference between these sizes is. Other sizes do not have the X-version but only the size 6, which signifies an important transition in the girl's growth. There are some kids who do not fit well in either size 6 or size 7, but in between, hence the emergence of size 6X. This article unfolds the dimensional differences between these two sizes.
Size 6X is basically a true size that lies in between size 6 and size 7. It is an inch bigger than size 6 and an inch smaller than size 7. And it is about 2-inch longer in length than size 6. Kids, especially girls, experience a growth spurt from age 6. At size 7 that is when girls become "big" girls, and so there was a need to bridge the gap between size 6 and 7 hence size 6X emerged.
Size 6X is, however, not available for young boys. It is only a girl's size mainly due to growth patterns between the two genders. Girls tend to shoot up in height after size 6, and unfortunately the bodily dimensions are not yet adequate for size 7. Size 6 is the only one with an X-version. There is no 5X, 7X, 8X, etc. The normal dimensions for size 6X are 38 to 44 pounds in weight and 47 to 48 ½ inches in height. The chest measures 26 while the waist measures 23 inches.
Size 6 follows size 5 and precedes size 6X. It measures 45 to 46 ½ inches in height, 25 inches for the chest, and 22 inches for the waist. From these measurements it is clear that size 6 is an inch smaller than size 6X.
In general, children clothes can differ from country to country because there are standardized measurements worldwide to guide manufacturers. The United States, for example, use age as a guideline for size classifications whereas Europe and other parts of the world use mainly height and weight dimensions. Waist, chest and sometimes hip sizes are also considered by other manufacturers.
Size 6 and 6X refers to girls' clothing whereby size 6 is an inch smaller than 6x and 2-inch shorter in length.
Size 6 has a waist size of 22 inches while size 6X has a waist size of 23 inches.
The height range for size 6 ranges from 45 to 46 ½ inches whereas size 6X ranges from 47 to 48 ½ inches.
Size 6x is an inch bigger than size 6. It lies between 6 and 7.
Size 6 height ranges from 45 to 46 ½ inches while size 6X ranges from 47 to 48 ½ inches.

Guide 2 Identity Theft > How It Happens
How Do Thieves Get My Identity Details?
There are a variety of methods that thieves use to steal identity details:
Physical theft, especially of your purse or wallet, or of your mail, is a common means of identity theft. A break-in to your home or a "stair dancer" intruding into your office workplace, are other opportunities. Going through your trash can for identity information is another.
A variation on stealing your mail that some thieves use, is simply to divert it. They can do this by arranging with the post office for your mail to be redirected, or by simply writing to banks, credit card companies or other financial institutions, and telling them that you have moved.
You should also take care whenever your identity details are exchanged, as these situations may also offer opportunities for the unscrupulous. Even people that you think of as friends can sometimes put you at risk of identity theft. Conmen are usually very likeable people – it is a well-honed vocational skill. Additionally, sometimes conmen may work through an unwitting friend or relative of yours, one whom you trust absolutely. A strict "need to know" policy for important identity information will therefore greatly reduce your risk.
Using your credit card has become much safer in recent years, and improvements will no doubt continue. But you should never let your card out of your sight when shopping or at restaurants.
Identity thieves exploit email and telephones especially in clever ways to persuade or trick you to give away vital data in unguarded moments. There is now even a name for the email identity theft scams: "phishing". The targets are often your passwords and bank account details so that the thieves can transfer funds electronically out of your account, usually through a chain of accounts to some obscure foreign location from which the cash is withdrawn. Banks today go to great lengths to warn they never ask for your account access details by email or telephone, but some people still get caught out by these scams.
Secure transaction web sites run by reputable companies are usually quite safe but mail, email and telephones offer interception opportunities for thieves. You should not assume they are always private, especially mobile telephone (or cordless) conversations, which can be intercepted.
Another computer-based method of identity theft, one that even alert people can fall victim to, is keystroke logging software loaded into their PCs. Your bank account user name and password are popular targets for these criminals. This information is sent to them through the internet from your computer without your knowledge. Again, a quick transfer of your money through a chain of international accounts can follow and it is gone forever. Computer spyware and viruses are a major source of identity theft. Your defense is to maintain high levels of computer security, and to regularly scan your computer to look for such programs.
It is also unwise to check your bank account on other people's computers. You never can tell what spyware they may hold. The risk can be particularly great at cyber cafes Their shared computers are well-known to be more exposed to identity thieves, who can load key stroke logging software into these computers if they are not well protected.

We conducted a study of the leaf-deposited particles and magnetism of plant leaves in different functional areas (traffic areas, parks and residential areas) in Lanzhou, China. The saturation isothermal remanence (SIRM) of the washed and unwashed leaves of 23 plant species (including evergreen shrubs, deciduous shrubs, deciduous liana species and deciduous trees) at three sampling heights (0.5 m, 1.5 m and 2.5 m) was measured. In addition, the mass of the leaf-deposited particles was measured using the elution-filtration method and the leaf morphological characteristics were determined by scanning electronic microscope (SEM) analysis. The results revealed significant differences in particles retention capacity among the 23 plant species, with evergreen shrub species at the heights of 0.5 m and 1.5 m having higher particles concentrations. Buxus sinica, Buxus megistophylla, Prunus cerasifera and Ligustrum×vicaryi were the most effective plant species for accumulating particles. The SEM results showed that leaves with a relatively complex adaxial surface (such as deep grooves and protrusions) were more effective at accumulating particles. The SIRM of washed leaves, unwashed leaves and leaf-deposited particles were significantly higher in traffic areas than in parks and residential areas. In addition, significant correlations were found between SIRM of unwashed leaves and leaf-deposited particles and the mass of leaf-deposited particles, and therefore the leaf magnetic properties effectively reflect levels of PM pollution under different environmental conditions. Overall, our results provide a valuable reference for the selection of plant species with high particle retention capacity that suitable for urban greening and pollution mitigation.

If ivory came from "inanimate objects", it wouldn't be an issue. The only reason that ivory wasn't illegal 50 or 100 years ago is because there were more elephants and less people. You're still trying to use the "my ivory is good" argument.
Ok. Concentrate. Answer the question....
An elephant dies of natural causes. The ivory is subsequently harvested and documented as having been so responsibly. Do you object to it being used by humans for anything?

Ok, I'll play along....sure, if ivory was only ever used from animals that died naturally, I would have no problem with it.
Now hit me with some magical false equivalence logic.

BS most people don't play with ivory, they just show it off. As far as a feather, I sure don't like people killing elephants especially since there is no real purpose to it. It's almost always an incredibly sad loss when an elephant dies.
You say BS. So can you tell me what plays like ivory? Those with joints and ferrules do play with ivory.
Don't have one.
I think we agree. A ban on all ivory is unreasonable. What needs to be managed/addressed is the illegal harvesting of ivory.
NOPE. I said I'd be in favor of ivory if it was all taken naturally. And since it isn't because of poachers, I'm in favor of NONE of it being used. And if a guy is telling you that his ivory is from a "natural causes" animal, he's probably full of shit.
So none of your ivory is good ivory.

Fun story....I bought my old Tascarella back after a years of regret for selling it. After I got it back, I sent it to Pete to have the ivory ferrules changed to melamine. And much to my surprise (not really) it feels just the same with either ferrule type.
Some is bad, so all is bad.
I had hopes for common sense. I remain disappointed.

I think the theory is: if no one could ever legally utilize it, then the confusion surrounding it's source would disappear, and thus make regulation simpler.
It's not like it's really an essential material that has no acceptable substitute, like opium for instance (though synthetic chemical pain killers do exist, you will notice morphine is still given when you show up at the local ER with a heart attack) which the gov. would otherwise have banned completely long ago. If you own an antique item that incorporates ivory, it should thus be obvious it is old, and 'I' think having to present the paperwork to prove THAT 'is' stupid.
I used to have sharp enough ears and sensitivity in my bridge hand and stroke hand to feel the differences between just about all the different types of ferrules. At almost 60 I am less sure I could tell the difference in all of them now.
I'm 62. I couldn't tell the difference between ivory and plastic.

Florida boomer preaching about common sense. That's a good one! Let me guess, anything that hasn't stayed the way it was since the good ol' days is probably "lacking common sense"?
Yes elephants are thriving in some areas and causing problems for farmers. But here's the problem with your "Conservation 101"....poachers don't apply for permits and responsibly cull over-populated areas. So, try again.
Elephants are not only thriving in areas, they are exceeding the carrying capacities of their habitat, particularly their dry season habitat.
The consequences are far reaching, from starvation of young do to non-lactating mothers to other species that rely on the same habitat which has been decimated.
Conservation 101. It has no place for emotion.
Reactions: David in FL
But someone who can't differentiate between a material that is legally and responsibly sourced and one that is poached, should be ignored as someone who's clearly, well, a moron. Sorry.

David is trying to help you learn about basic economics and what banning a thing does, vs. outlawing human actions. Reading some Mises might help your understanding.

IOW, if we farmed elephants for ivory there would be plenty of elephants and ivory.
Cuedup said:
I assume you're asking me?
If elephants were PRIVATELY OWNED, the owners would do what? The same thing that the owners of cattle and hogs do: exploit them for maximum profits. Farming to extinction would kill those profits. Animal husbandry and all that.
If you are uber rich, it won't affect you, they have a different set of rules and laws. Now if you are just Fred from Kentucky, you got a problem Sonny Jim
I do have a solution for the problem........ cut the tusks off once they get to a certain length and replace them with carbon fiber implants. That way there is no incentive for the poachers to kill them cause nobody wants carbon fiber.!

I have three cues and I have no idea if they have ivory. I don't disagree with the ban but cues built pre-ban should be grandfathered. If the leftists ban the internal combustion engine I'm sure it will only apply to new cars.

Q: Vincular colores de mapa SVG con base de datos La cosa esta asi... tengo un sistema en el cual traigo informacion sobre viviendas de una base de datos y quiero que en un mapa SVG que realice se muestren de diferente color las DISPONIBLES, VENDIDAS y APARTADAS. Asi mismo que cuando cambie el estado de una de estas se actualice el color. Pienso que este codigo me puede ayudar, pero de verdad no se bien como implementarlo.
como cambiar color de secciones de imagen svg?
Espero puedan ayudarme.

A: Si necesitas actualizar los valores de una base de datos necesitas un formulario y unos elementos input. En este ejemplo en el svg hay 3 solares y en el formulario, en el mismo orden hay 3 <input type="number"> aunque probablemente quieras que sean type="hidden"
En el código utilizo números: 0 para solares disponibles, 1 para solares vendidos y 2 para los apartados.

// el array de los polígonos
let polygons = Array.from(svg.querySelectorAll("polygon"));
// el array de los inputs
let inputs = Array.from(document.querySelectorAll("input"));

//para cada polígono del array de los polígonos
polygons.forEach((p,i)=>{
    // recupera la clase de este polígono
    let laClase = p.getAttribute("class");
    // recupera el input correspondiente que tiene el mismo index en el array de los inputs
    let elInput = inputs[i];
    // el tipo de solar es el último caracter de la cadena de texto laClase
    let n = Number(laClase[laClase.length-1]);

    //cada vez que haces clic en el polígono
    p.addEventListener("click", ()=>{
    // n crece
    n++
    // establece el valor de la clase del polígono
    p.setAttribute("class","solar" + n%3);
    // establece el valor del atributo value del input correspondiente
    elInput.value = n%3;
  })
})
polygon.solar0{fill:green; }
polygon.solar1{fill:gold;}
polygon.solar2{fill:skyblue;}
<form method="post" action="">
  <input type="number"  value="1" disabled />
  <input type="number"  value="0" disabled/>
  <input type="number"  value="2" disabled/>
</form>

<svg id="svg" viewBox="300 1150 270 200">

    <polygon class="solar1" stroke="#000"
             points="339 1265.26 351.666 1240.334 390.334 1227.223 408.334 1278.111 365 1294.111 346.556 1286.778"/>

    <polygon class="solar0" stroke="#000" points="390.334 1227.223 445.444 1209.89 463.307 1265.26 408.334 1278.111"/>

    <polygon class="solar2" stroke="#000" points="445.444 1209.89 502.777 1199 509 1258.334 493.765 1258.334 463.307 1265.26"/>

Home Shipbuilding Keel Laid for New English Channel RoPax
Keel Laid for New English Channel RoPax
October 21, 2019, by World Maritime News
China's Avic Weihai Shipyard has held a keel-laying ceremony for Stena RoRo's combined freight and passenger ferry (RoPax), celebrating the next stage of the ship's construction.
The keel-laying ceremony took place in Weihai on October 15, 2019.
Destined for the English Channel, the newbuilding will be named Côte d'Opale.
Owned by Swedish ferry company Stena RoRo, Côte d'Opale will work for Danish company DFDS under a 10-year bareboat charter agreement signed last year.
To be delivered by the end of June 2021, the 214-meter-long ferry will be the longest ship on the Channel with capacity for 1,000 passengers and crew together with 160 trailers.
The 3,100-lane-meter ship is intended for use on the Dover – Calais route and will, therefore, be named after one of the coastal regions in France, according to DFDS.
The new ferry will be highly efficient and environmentally friendly with an expected reduction in oil consumption when compared to DFDS' previous ferries on the channel routes, the company explained.
Between 2016 and 2018, Stena RoRo placed orders for a total of eight Stena E-Flexer class vessels with the Avic Weihai Shipyard. Stena will operate five of the vessels.

Friends, I can't deny it, I LOVE OTK boots! But they can be tricky to style correctly sometimes. I'm wearing the Elinna Boots ($43) from Aldo although I have a hard time keeping them up! They fit best when I wear them over jeans or tights or with really thick knee-high socks like I'm doing here. If you're worried about fit when purchasing online, take a moment to read the customer reviews. You'll get a good idea of how they fit (too loose, too tight) or if they actually stay up.
Over-the-knee boots can be tricky as every pair fits differently around the calf and thigh. If you have slim legs, suede boots may not be the best option for you. They aren't formed so it's easy for them to slide right down your leg. You don't want them to end up looking like a slouchy pirate boot! Choose a boot with a little more structure, like these Sam Edelman ones in my previous blog post. Trying boots on in-store may be the right move if you have time.
If you don't love wearing heels, then these boots may be perfect for you. OTK boots lengthen your legs without actually adding height. A chunky heeled style adds a little height without compromising on comfort. Stiletto heeled styles make me think of Julia Roberts in Pretty Women but they don't work well for us Canadians during the snowy, icy winters! Don't forget to add a spray protector on your boots before wearing them in the elements.
Black is obviously the most slimming colour and helps to make your legs look elongated. Light grey and beige have also become really popular this year! These boots instantly add an element of chic to an outfit. It easily dresses up a casual look!
Wear your OTK boots over tight-fitting jeans, pants, leggings and pantyhose. I love the look of these boots with a short, mini skirt and a bulky sweater in the winter! Be careful about the length of your skirt. You want to have at least 3-5 inches between the hem of your skirt and the top of your boot. Stay away from knee-length skirts when wearing these boots. Layer with a longer trench coat for a more polished look!
If you're on the shorter side, then opt for a knee-high boot instead. I love the two styles that I linked above, the Ruvonnen and the Riley. These will still give you a high boot without being TOO high! You don't want a boot that covers your entire leg!
Love the rest of my outfit?
Love this!! The leopard OTK boots are so cute! Thanks for sharing these steals.


Google has agreed to pay a $22.5 million penalty for misleading users of the Safari browser about its privacy policies. It's the largest penalty ever imposed by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) for this type of offense.
The case involves cookies, the small text files which a website places on a user's computer to identify and help track them. In many cases, cookies help advertisers deliver particularly relevant advertisements (Amazon's "Recommended for You" feature is one example).
Since many web users don't like being followed, Apple decided to have its Safari Internet browser automatically block cookies.
However, Google took advantage of a loophole in Safari that allows temporary cookies within forms, such as those a user fills in to request further information from a site.
In some advertisements it placed on websites, Google inserted code that tricked the Safari browser into allowing Google to place a cookie on the user's computer. Although morally dubious, this practice didn't break any rules.
The violation occurred because Google's privacy statement on its own website specifically told Safari users they would not receive any Google tracking cookies on their machine so long as they left the browser's default settings in place.
As we now know, this was untrue.
Google's false privacy statement violated a previous agreement with the Federal Trade Commission.
After a privacy scandal surrounding the launch of its initial attempt at a social network, called Buzz, Google signed a legally-binding promise not to mislead the public on privacy issues through the year 2031.
The FTC rules allow it to punish violation of such an agreement with a large fine for each individual violation. Every time a Safari user visited a web page that placed a Google tracking cookie, that counted as a separate violation.
As a result, there was effectively no limit to the size of the total fine the FTC could have imposed on Google.

Tilke: 'Several factors' caused Grosjean's horror crash | F1 News by PlanetF1
Hermann Tilke, the designer of the Bahrain circuit, believes that several things made Romain Grosjean's crash as severe as it was.
Formula 1 saw its most serious crash in a long time when Grosjean crashed into the barriers at high speed in Bahrain, with half of his car piercing through them and a huge fire soon starting.
While the safety levels in the sports were generally praised as the Frenchman somehow escaped the incident largely unharmed, concerns were still raised about the reasons for the severity of the crash.
Tilke believes that it was a result of a number of factors coming together.
"At some point, everything will break if the force is great enough. Several factors came together," Tilke said as per RaceFans.net.
"The accident happened on a straight, where the run-off zones are narrower and the crash barriers are parallel to the track. The angle of impact was 90 degrees. If it had been sharper, the car would have scraped along the guardrail and drained the energy. 53G acted on Grosjean, an incredible amount.
"With Grosjean's angle of impact, it would have been better if there had been a force retarder in front of the guardrail, for instance, a stack of tyres. In other impacts, however, this could be counterproductive because the car can get caught in them.
Often in F1, in the aftermath of a serious crash, a number of new safety measures are introduced soon afterwards.
However, Tilke doesn't think that the sport should rush into taking such measures this time, fearing that it could create other safety issues.
"Everything has advantages and disadvantages, you have to be careful not to worsen other scenarios," he added.
"For example: if you drive a car, buckle up, because you know that the seat belt will protect you in an accident. In 0.001% of accidents, however, it could be better not to wear a seat belt. But you won't say: 'Then I won't buckle up again.'
"The FIA will be investigating the incident closely. The system worked for decades. Such an accident happened for the first time in this form."

As opposed to simply addressing specific fine lines, wrinkles or facial skin folds, the fat transfer procedure addresses the whole face, producing dramatic yet natural–looking results. To eliminate age related facial hollowness, unwanted fat is removed from one area of the body using a local anesthetic and is then re-injected in the areas of the face that have lost volume, typically around the eyes, temples, mouth, cheeks and jawline. This procedure can often delay surgical procedures such as facelifts, and results are most often longer lasting than other fillers.
Dr. Lubitz at Art of SKIN Dermatology, Laser and Cosmetic Surgery is one of the premier facial fat transfer experts in Canada performing several hundred fat transfer cases since starting to offer this procedure in 2005.
Fat is taken from other parts of the body using very small access points. This fat is then transferred to a small syringe, and injected into the desired location on the face.
Is it only one treatment?
It is a series of treatments, usually spaced 2 – 4 weeks apart is generally recommended. Patients will see noticeable results after just one treatment, however, in most cases, patients often see their best results after 4 – 6 treatments.
Yes, Fat Transfer is very safe. Because it is your own tissue, there is no chance that you can react adversely to it, or be allergic to it as can occur with some of the new artificially produced fillers.
How does it compare to volume replacement with fillers?
Fat Transfer is ideal for patients with significant volume loss affecting multiple areas throughout the face. For these cases, larger volumes of your own fat can be more safely injected by the Fat Transfer method than can be completed using commercially available filling agents. Using large volumes of artificially produced filling agents regardless of the type (ie in excess of 15 ml or 15 x 1ml syringes) has been associated with a higher degree of adverse events most notable is granuloma formation. Also, using large volumes of commercially produced fillers is very expensive. We can always find some extra fat on the body to use for the Fat Transfer, so quantity is not an issue. Consequently, for larger volume cases, the cost of Fat Transfer is significantly less than to try to accomplish the same degree of volume replacement with commercial fillers.
The majority of patients report that the results last more than 2 years, and in some cases improvement lasting up to 5 years has been reported. The duration of the effects will depend on multiple factors including the overall health of the skin, the areas treated and the amount of fat transferred.
To learn more about this procedure, and to find out if you are a candidate, we encourage you to schedule a consultation at Art of SKIN Dermatology, Laser and Cosmetic Surgery.


Today it is almost essential to classify products.
