Wedgwood and Women
Guest Speaker Annette Oliver
Learning >
We were lucky to welcome Annette Oliver this week, a recent Masters Degree graduate from Oxford University and teacher of Classics at the Read School in Drax.
Annette met with staff and Sixth Formers in Winter Garden for tea and cake, before giving a talk about her Masters research on Josiah Wedgwood.
Belle P (Year III) told us more about the visit.
This Monday we were very lucky to have Mrs Annette Oliver come in and do a talk on Josiah Wedgwood, an advanced businessman from the 18th Century whose success was based on his ability not only to market his pottery but also to seek out talented female designers and potters who knew what upper- and middle-class women wanted.
Mrs Oliver has just completed her Masters Degree and her talk focused mainly on the lives of the women who helped the Wedgwood business become prestigious enough to catch the attention of many upper-class members, including royalty across Europe such as Queen Charlotte and Catherine the Great, Empress of Russia. Some of the strategies he used are still common today - such as celebrity endorsement, magazine articles and staging in stores to appeal to the popular and desirable lifestyle of the century.
One of my favourite aspects of the talk was that Mrs Oliver first narrated the lives of each woman and how they helped Josiah Wedgwood and his business and then added her own opinion to the historical facts.
I am very grateful that I had the opportunity to meet her beforehand and hear about why she chose this topic as well as the difficulties she faced during it and how much it paid off once she had completed it.

Myrtle Beach Fraud Defense AttorneyT. Kirk Truslow P.A.
Impersonation: In impersonation fraud cases, the accused sends an individual a document requesting personal information, with the intent of using that information to steal money.
Misrepresentation of merchandise: This type of fraud involves an individual paying for, but never receiving an item, or receiving a package that he or she did not order, then being pressured to pay for the item. This particular type of fraud has become more common with the increase in online shopping.
Promotional coupons or checks: A company might send a check that offers services free of charge or discounts, but the fine print reads that the person is subject to fees for services. Often, people do not see this fine print, and results in loss of large amounts of money.
Fake charities: This type of fraud exists to take advantage of an individual's charitable nature, using the guise of a charitable organization to steal money.
Billing for services not rendered: Billing Medicare or an insurance company for injuries, illnesses or other medical conditions that never existed is a common form of healthcare fraud. Forgeries and bribes may occur in these cases as well.
Duplicate claims: In a duplicate claims case, the offender is alleged to have billed Medicare or the insurance company twice or more for the same service by filing two or more versions of the same invoice.
Unbundling: Very often, invoices for medical services are bundled together to avoid hefty costs."Unbundling" these billings, however, or staggering billing submissions over time, results in a higher payout, which results in healthcare fraud.
Unnecessary or excessive service: Unnecessary claims occur when patients file claims that do not apply to their condition, while excessive service claims occur when a person files a greater claim than what is needed for his or her level of care.
Kickbacks: Any type of reward or gift used to convince medical professionals to use a specific type of medical service so that the patient can file a greater claim is illegal.
Upcoding: This area of healthcare fraud refers to the process of billing for services that cost more than the actual procedures performed or medical equipment and items used.
Illegal property flips: The property is purchased, falsely appraised at a much higher value and then sold quickly for profit.
Air loans: Mortgage loans are obtained with no underlying security, which means that lenders have no collateral.
Foreclosure schemes: The alleged offender misleads the homeowner into believing that for a price, the offender can save the homeowner's property.
Backward applications: The alleged offender / borrower inflates his or her income so that it fits the criteria of the loan.
Additional areas of fraud handled by Mr. Truslow include: Tax Fraud, Wire Fraud, Insurance Fraud, Identity Theft, Credit Card Fraud, Forgery, Embezzlement, Money Laundering, Breach of Trust with Fraudulent Intent and Grand Larceny.

Title: Witches & Pagans (formerly newWitch): Earthwise Spirituality for Today #20—The Animal Issue
Publisher: BBI Media, Spring 2010
Editor: Anne Newkirk Niven
Pages: 96 pp.
Price: $6 US
This second issue of witches&pagans, after the merger of newWitch and PanGaia, has a great deal of interest in it. This particular issue is focused on animals, and thus there are quite a few articles in it dealing with totemic practices. However, there are other things in it that are intriguing as well.
Several letters to the editor deal with pagans in prison, and how difficult their lives are due to their lack of access to trained chaplains, reading material, and basic ritual supplies. A few of these letters are by prison inmates themselves, while others are by support staff, including a librarian who implores readers to consider making donations of pagan-specific and pagan-interest books to prison libraries, which would be a most noble way to lend some support to our incarcerated co-religionists. Considering the high profile of the Patrick McCollum prison chaplaincy case in the California Corrections system, this is an issue that cannot be over-emphasized at present.
On the cover, there is no indication of what the contents of this issue of the magazine happen to be, other than the statement of the theme and a near-full-page piece of artwork. The two feature articles are "Lupa: Fang, Bone & Spirit" by Phil "Satyr(blade)" Brucato, and "Witches & Seeresses" by Michael Night Sky. The first article is an interview, with lavish accompanying photos, of Lupa, the author and editor of a number of books dealing with animal magic, totemism, cultural appropriation and related (as well as not-as-directly-related) magical topics. The second is an interview with Janet Farrar and Gavin Bone on their Progressive Witchcraft projects, emphasizing polytheism and trance work, in contrast to some of their earlier Alexandrian Wicca-derived practices. While there is certainly value in the latter, it seems quite out-of-place, given this issue's theme, to include such an article as one of the main features, particularly since Farrar and Bone do not address the theme at all, and in fact the interview itself was done in late 2008 and revised in late 2009.
The interview article on Lupa and her work is excellent, and gives a good flavor of what this very prolific and innovative author has done. However, there is somewhat unfortunate phrasing in a few of the questions: Brucato asks "How do you reach out to the Wild within?" While this might seem innocent enough, despite the somewhat unexpected capitalization, two things somewhat slant this question and what follows in the opinion of the present reviewer. Brucato himself writes for White Wolf Games; and Lupa admits (in a summary paragraph preceding the actual interview) one of her early interests and influences on her neopagan path was White Wolf's Werewolf: The Apocalypse role-playing game setting. In that particular setting, The Wild is one of three primal forces with which characters have to deal in their various struggles. It is certainly possible for modern pagans — influenced by White Wolf products or otherwise — to have a concept of a deified or abstracted force of nature governing all wilderness and non-human life and landscape called The Wild. The present reviewer is uncertain whether the capitalizations in Lupa's answer to this question were intentional or not, or whether this interview took place in person and was recorded and transcribed, or if it was done over e-mail, and thus whether this capitalization was the prerogative of the article author transcribing, or that of Lupa as the composer of her own responses, following the lead of the interviewer. While the present reviewer has played and enjoyed White Wolf games as well, and doesn't think poorly of those who also enjoy them, to mix this kind of role-playing terminology into what should be a serious discussion of spirituality — however small a role a few capitalized "W"s might seem to play — is a little disappointing. Unfortunately, many people (including a number of pagans, on which more later) do think that those who have role-playing-like elements in their spirituality are simply deluded and not serious, and lack actual and legitimate spiritual experience or insight. This is certainly not the case with Lupa, and this insight comes through in her work and in her presentations at conferences and other occasions. One of the larger points of Lupa's work is to include pop cultural influences very consciously and deliberately in one's spirituality. Without a direct indication of whether or not this was the intention at this point, it's anyone's guess as to what might have been going on there.
There are a variety of interesting observations and assertions made by Farrar and Bone in their interview. Apart from one answer to a question (on how they feel about being considered elders in the pagan tradition), all of their answers are first-person plural (i.e. "we," "our," etc.), which seems a bit strange, considering the very different personages, backgrounds, and experiences the two of them possess — surely, they are individuals!?! At one point, they speak about "the Callaighe, a pre-Celtic goddess of death and rebirth" (p. 45). While the place-name in Ireland to which they refer does have various legends attached to it involving a magical old woman, who may very well derive from a pre-Christian goddess, proving that such a figure is pre-Celtic is essentially impossible, particularly since the Old Irish caillech, "veiled woman," emerges semantically in a context which makes it better translated as "nun" rather than "hag."
Following these articles, another feature article follows by Natalie Zaman, "Wandering Witch's Adventures in The Big Apple," which also has photos by the author. It's an interesting article, with lots of suggestions for places to visit and resources for pagans within the city (and some of its surrounding areas), as well as some important historical background on a few well-known places in NYC like The Magickal Childe. However, the present reviewer would again question the inclusion of this article in an issue ostensibly devoted to animals, since none are mentioned. (An article on the totem animals of New York City, or indeed any urban area, would have been more than appropriate in an issue devoted to this topic.)
Fiction and poetry included in this issue, while somewhat interesting and definitely on topic, seemed less appealing than an equal amount of space given to further relevant articles would have been. Kiva Rose's "Our Totems, Ourselves" makes the point that totems choose humans, and not vice versa, but leans a bit heavily on the author's personal experience to state this as a universal truth. Likewise, Nora L. Jamieson's "A Human Animal" is a bit rambling in its various stories of life and death observed among the animal kingdom near human habitation, with the ultimate lessons being "The sacred and the mundane, the predator and prey, life and death; it is all one" (p. 61). Such monistic statements suffuse a great deal of the material in this particular issue of the magazine, and modern pagan spirituality generally .… But how true is such a statement; and, more importantly, even if it is in some sense true, how appealing is it for some people, and how necessary is it to say it if it is true? Unfortunately, the platitude remains where actual theological engagement is lacking in far too many instances.
A few of the regular columns produce some good material in this issue. Isaac Bonewits' "Connection and Causation: Dualism is Nonsense — And Incompatible with Magic" is useful, and grounded in scientific principles; Galina Krasskova's "What About Our Stuff? Death is Not the End of Our Magical Obligations" is also an important and somewhat sobering look at creating a will and allotting proper deposition or distribution of one's magical supplies after one's death. Both of these are good columns, but again, not really on the overarching theme of the issue. (If the theme is departed from this regularly, can it really be considered a theme?) Kenaz Filan's "Animal Offerings: Your Pet Can Link You to the Gods" is a good, brief treatment of ways in which one's pets can be living offerings of devotion to one's gods through taking care of them, or of helping animal charities and such for those who cannot keep pets for whatever reason.
Unfortunately, R. J. Stewart's "Totems are Not Fashion Accessories" is more of a screed and an advertisement for his own theological anthropology and work than a coherent article. "… as Pagans, to be really effective, we must also reject animal totemism, kick out neo-shamanistic psychologized symbolism, and undo cozy stereotypes about magical animal, faery, and plant helpers" (p. 75). Stewart's suggestion for a replacement is his own concept of the "Threefold Alliance," where all humans are considered incomplete and only a third of a complete being until they have fully merged their consciousness with a faery ally and a spiritual creature. While there are some differences in terminology involved, the present reviewer isn't seeing how this is any different from some concepts of totemic practice and deity patronage, apart from positing that it is our spiritual duty to search out not our "other half," but our spiritual "other thirds" in order to be whole and healthy beings. As a possible alternative amongst many ways to understand one's identity, this may have some appeal and utility; as a categorical statement of how things are and what everyone must therefore do about it (and a flimsily supported one at that), this is about as appealing as the idea that all humans are under the curse of original sin.
Other minutiae in this issue could be expounded upon, but this should give a good flavor for what is found therein. A bit more rigor in certain cases would have been preferable in some of the articles. While witches&pagans is not The Pomegranate, and shouldn't attempt to be so, it also wouldn't hurt to be a bit more critical and do more fact-checking in relation to certain matters than seem to be the norm at present. This magazine is good, light pagan reading, and if that's what you're looking for, you won't be disappointed.

Tens of tents are soaked in displaced camps in Idlib due to rainstorm
Tens of tents in a displaced camp, northern Syria, have soaked with rainwater pouring over the last two days, while other tents which are home to about 50 thousand displaced people in Al-Buhaira and Abu Hisham camps have been destroyed. The displaced said that they had been experiencing the same misery every winter for 9 years, as the rain comes and goes over their tents. The head of the "Civil Response Coordinators in Northern Syria" unit, Muhammad Hallaj, stated that the rains have flooded 108 camps in the area over the past 48 hours, and these camps lack facilities, as they turn into ponds of mud during the winter season, as the tents leak rainwater as their fabrics are worn by the heat of last summer.

Penguin Publishing App
Ipad cooking app to coincide with the release of book, Your place oir mine? by Gary Mehigan, George Calombaris.
Penguin Books is a British publishing house. It was co-founded in 1935 by Sir Allen Lane, his brothers Richard and John, as a line of the publishers The Bodley Head, only becoming a separate company the following year. Penguin revolutionised publishing in the 1930s through its inexpensive paperbacks, sold through Woolworths and other high street stores for sixpence, bringing high-quality paperback fiction and non-fiction to the mass market. Penguin's success demonstrated that large audiences existed for serious books. Penguin also had a significant impact on public debate in Britain, through its books on British culture, politics, the arts, and science.
Penguin Books is now an imprint of the worldwide Penguin Random House, an emerging conglomerate which was formed in 2013 by the merger with American publisher Random House. Formerly, Penguin Group was wholly owned by British Pearson PLC, the global media company which also owned the Financial Times, but in the new umbrella company it retains only a minority holding of 25% of the stock against Random House owner, German media company Bertelsmann, which controls the majority stake. It is one of the largest English-language publishers, formerly known as the "Big Six", now the "Big Five".

Chelsea – I like this format A LOT better! It's nice to have different stories broken up into chunks, rather than long strings of text in your previous posts. I also like how the pictures break up the text. The links are very educational and I enjoyed how many you had throughout the entire post.
In addition, your conversational style is much more relaxed and casual here, like you're speaking to the reading. I find this comforting that I can almost hear you speaking these words as I read them on the page.
My vote: Stay with this format! It works so much better and it is not nearly as overwhelming and exhausting! I applaud and commend you for trying something different and asking for feedback.
Great job, and I can't wait to read next week!
I agree with Lauren Beth! I'm lovin' the new format. I like how each story was separated with picture rather than just a title. I also like your conversational style as well as the sarcasm you threw in.
Aw yay thank you guys, only took me a whole semester of doing this project to figure this out haha. Hopefully not all my blogs were entirely exhausting etc. But I'm glad you like this format more, I can definitely rock this every week haha. Thank you for the feedback!
That puppy biting the cop story really pisses me off. That is the biggest crap story ever. I hate ignorant people.
I love the fact the iditarod went well this year! Coolest race ever, pun not intended. It's sad dogs die in it but it's one of the most amazing traditions ever. Iron Will and Balto come to mind.
Also, the content reads faster than it used to. Good work Chels!
Really like the new format, Chelsea!! You've got lots of topics covered, but very easy to read. You mentioned China, the Iditarod AND "vicious" dogs.
China – don't forget the dog & cat fur they love so much. I was in a thrift shop today and found a little furry toy fox. On the bottom it said "Goat Fur" and "Made in China". I busted out laughing because I KNEW that it wasn't goat fur & that numerous dogs suffered to put fur on that one little toy.
Iditarod: I lived in Alaska for 2-1/2 years and photographed 2 starts and one end of this race. Yes, there are some of the mushers that could care less about their dogs. But then there are some that adored their dogs – read up on Susan Butcher. Unfortunately, she passed away in 2006, but I met her in 2004 in the airport at Fairbanks, Alaska. She was sending 2 of her dogs to Anchorage & it was obvious she LOVED them (I didn't understand until later why she sent them). She was a truly great lady & force on that Iditarod trail. And those dogs – they LOVE TO RUN. It's in their faces and tongues hanging out!
Vicious dogs: It seems that cops are shooting dogs everywhere – and most of the time, it is for absolutely no reason at all. I believe some of them get that gun and it goes to their head.
And thank you for pointing out the vicious dog problem is a HUMAN problem. ANY DOG can be made vicious – just starve it, or beat it, ignore it, tie it on a short chain outside while it watches the world go by, feed it gun powder or steroids (dog fighters)… and you have yourself a dog with all kinds of pent up energy inside. But, yeah… it's the dog's fault. Unfortunately, they never talk about the circumstances that surround a dog attack, just the dog. Remember, there are 2 sides to every story.
Kyle-Thank you for your praise, I gotta admit I blanked on including the chihuahua story in there so I was confused at first but then I remembered haha. Ya no that pissed me off when I first read it might have been over the summer but it wasn't too long ago. Very unfortunate for sure.
Janet- China- could have been happy not knowing that but it's good to know, do they even have goats in China? eww not that I buy fuzzy figurines anyways but that it quite disturbing. Such an awful country in the way they treat their animals.
Iditarod- Good point I didn't mention that although it is a long trail, these dogs are bred and trained for that type of weather. Not all mushers are like the evil russian guy in Iron Will, but I'm so jealous you got to photograph the start and end of the iditarod. I hope to one day be up there for that, I think it would be an amazing experience!
Vicious dog- Thank you, ya I think it's important that people know that, I think way too many people think it's the dogs fault and it's definitely important to get that word out there!

Scioto Economic Development recieves more than $68,000
By Ivy Potter - ipotter@aimmediamidwest.com
Over $68,000 has been awarded to the Scioto County Economic Development Department by Fluor-BWXT Portsmouth. "Out of that money $18,000 has gone towards our travels and expenses to Columbus, meeting with different liaisons up there, economic developers and state officials. Along with a couple of classes, the ODEA Summit, and other economic development related events," said Scioto County Economic Development Director Robert Horton.
"$40,000 of that is being spent as we sit here for infrastructure studies to the waste water in the Haverhill area, which is also known as the Ohio River of the Industrial Corridor, which involves Scioto County and Lawrence County, they makeup this corridor. That study is for the waste water treatment, we're looking into the future of water we hopefully eventually come to those properties down there, the industry that will be involved and we're trying to get an average of the quality of water we're going to have to try and treat as these companies hopefully come."
Horton suggested that PureCycle Technologies coming to the DOW facility in Lawrence County is what prompted the two counties, Scioto and Lawrence to try to work together.
"This particular infrastructure we're looking at will probably, the water treatment plant if it's a new build, be built in Scioto County and some of its services will be in Lawrence County. So the two counties will have to come together and make an agreement on how that will be managed, so one county doesn't get stuck. The commissioners in both counties are meeting and that will go on, but the study is almost complete. It's been underway now for about two months," said Horton. "The $9,940 of that $68,000 plus is going towards two studies at the airport industrial park area for a water study and a sewer study. That's where that money has gone, and of course we can't thank Fluor enough for their belief in our department and what we are doing. There are currently two applications for two more grants that we have submitted to Fluor, and those are under review for two new projects in Scioto County. One is in Portsmouth, and the other is in the county."
Horton stated that Fluor has indicated they will back both of those upcoming projects. "It's really exciting, not to mention Jobs Ohio is backing a third project in Portsmouth, and they've actually given us a letter of assistance, an obligation, for $250,000 towards that project, and Fluor that's one of the projects we have requested a grant from them to up the $250,000."
Horton stated he could not name those projects yet, but stated they were well underway. "It's exciting to know you've got somebody like that in your backyard that's helping you do what we're trying to do, because not everyone understands what we do, they really don't."
"Along with Fluor, that also involves Joint Economic Development Initiative of Southern Ohio (JEDISO) which was formed out of four counties, Scioto, Pike, Ross and Jackson. Fluor actually created so that the monies from Fluor, which is the A-plant, is dispersed among these four counties and the way they derived that is because the people that used to work at the A-plant prior to it shutting down, a majority of those people came from these four counties. Those were the ones hurt the worst economically, and that's what it's all about. At JEDISO, I set on the board for our county, you submit these projects through JEDISO, we score them and then we submit them to Fluor and they go out. That's been an awesome team, the four counties," Horton said. "They understand economic development because they're fighting it just as hard as we are for their own counties. It's hard not to thank these people, you've got to thank them all the time Jim and Tim at Fluor have probably been the most supportive people I've had in my pocket for the last year that I've been here. They come in, they're strictly non-biased, it doesn't matter what they think or what they believe, they come in and look at a project for what it's worth, what they think it will economically do for your county or for your cities, and all the decisions are made based purely on that, and that's hard to find."
Horton stated he feels like now is the right time for change. "I think we're in a good position right now to make a change, we're feeling a lot of positive, especially in the last four or five months and as we start to do more things for these companies they're realizing "these guys are straight up, they don't care what our politics are, they don't care what we think, they're doing it for the right reasons. I think we're getting more flexible with them because of that. When I first took office it was a nightmare to say the least. What happened prior to me getting here was kind of a mess and everyone was pointing fingers at everyone else, I just looked at all of them and said I don't care. I don't live in the past, I live for the future and we've got to find common ground in order for the county to grow."

The Martian Legion: In Quest of Xonthron
The Martian Legion:
In Quest of Xonthron
Presenting a Pantheon of ERB Heroes Conceived by Edgar Rice Burroughs, Brought to life by Jake (Buddy) Saunders, Russ Cochran and Team
(February 10, 2015 – Tarzana, CA) In 1913, Edgar Rice Burroughs contemplated penning a crossover tale uniting his two greatest creations, Tarzan and John Carter of Mars. He ultimately gave the idea up as unworkable, concerned that he couldn't do justice to both heroes in one novel. In an alternate universe, Burroughs not only wrote that tale, he lived it—and presented the manuscript to author Jake "Buddy" Saunders' grandfather. Decades later, Saunders has chosen to share it with the world. Visit www.TheMartianLegion.com for more information.
Big ideas deserve a big stage, and Martian Legion delivers on all counts. It's a story too big to be contained in one pulp hero franchise, one world, one age, or one universe. A pantheon of heroes, including Tarzan, John Carter, Doc Savage, The Shadow, Carson Napier, Alley Oop and more gather to combat a foe across planets, dimensions, and time. The epic account unspools across a quarter of a million words, and takes readers not only to Africa and Barsoom, but to new worlds, with new heroes in the grandest Burroughsian tradition. See www.TheMartianLegion.com to purchase this collector's book set.

Well, I got another email today from Alyssa, with more advice in the romance category. It's kind of touching that she cares about my love life, never having met me (I don't think!!) But I can't get a fix on whether, if I follow her advice, she herself might be interested in striking up an acquaintance. This time she put me on to a pill of some kind that she promises will increase my volume up to 500%. And that women will be highly impressed by this. I don't think Alyssa is considering all the ramifications of such a development, which are all too vivid to me. But her heart's certainly in the right place, God love her.

Q: Why doesn't an if/else statement work in Object.assign() and .map? I'm learning about javascript objects and trying to wrap my head around prototype.map. The goal is to create a new array filled with objects (using the below array filled with objects) without modifying the original objects. If the character's name is in the badGuys array then their status will be 'evil' otherwise their status will be 'good'.
These were the two solutions I came up with:

const badGuys = ['Joker', 'Two Face', 'Riddler', 'Bane'];

const characters = [
  { name: 'Flash', status: null },
  { name: 'Joker', status: null },
  { name: 'Batman', status: null },
  { name: 'Superman', status: null },
  { name: 'Two Face', status: null },
  { name: 'Bane', status: null },
  { name: 'Riddler', status: null },
];

//Works:

const sortedCharacters = characters.map(function (character) {
  return Object.assign({}, character, {
    status: badGuys.includes(character.name) ? "evil" : "good"
  });
});

//Doesn't work:

const sortedCharacters = characters.map(function (character) {
  return Object.assign({}, character, {
    status:
    if (badGuys.includes(character.name)) {
      "evil"
    } else {
      "good"
    }
  });
});

Using the ternary operator works but an if/else statement does not. Why?

A: The important difference between if-else and the ternary operator is that in Javascript the if-else statement is a statement and the ternary operator is an expression.
This means that the if-else construct does not have a value whereas the ternary does. This means that you cannot put the if-else statement in a position where a value is required.

A: This happens because it is not a valid syntax. The correct one is at the following snippet.

Why the ternary operator works?

Because the epxression before the ternary operator is evaluated and if it's true the value of status is evil. Otherwise is good.
status: badGuys.includes(character.name) ? "evil" : "good"

At the following snippet we have declared a function that returns that you want.

const badGuys = ['Joker', 'Two Face', 'Riddler', 'Bane'];

const characters = [
  { name: 'Flash', status: null },
  { name: 'Joker', status: null },
  { name: 'Batman', status: null },
  { name: 'Superman', status: null },
  { name: 'Two Face', status: null },
  { name: 'Bane', status: null },
  { name: 'Riddler', status: null },
];

const sortedCharacters = characters.map(function (character) {
  return Object.assign({}, character, {
    status: function(){
        if (badGuys.includes(character.name)) {
            return "evil"
        } else {
            return "good"
        }
    }
  });
});

But this is a quite different thing. You are using a function in this
  case. I would really like to know why the normal if condition doesn't
  work as expected

As you can read from the Language documentation

An Object is logically a collection of properties. Each property is
  either a data property, or an accessor property:

*

*A data property associates a key value with an ECMAScript language value and a set of Boolean attributes.

*An accessor property associates a key value with one or two accessor functions, and a set of Boolean attributes. The accessor
  functions are used to store or retrieve an ECMAScript language value
  that is associated with the property.

A data property associates a key value with the attributes

*

*[[Value]]

*[[Writable]]

*[[Enumerable]]

*[[Configurable]]

What is the value ?

The value retrieved by a get access of the property.

Which is it's Domain?

Any ECMAScript language type

Which are the ECMAScript language types?

*

*Undefined Type

*Null Type

*Boolean Type

*String Type

*Symbol Type

*Number Type

*Object Type

That being said, an if/else statement cannot be stand as a value related to a key of an object.

Archer Review: "Archer Vice: Smugglers' Blues"
(Episode 5.07)
By Carlo Sobral | March 11, 2014 | 12:58pm
Driven by Sterling's need to prove his worth again, "Smugglers' Blues" delivers the best episode of the fifth season of Archer. After Archer overheard Malory talking about him being a screw-up in last week's "Baby Shower," he was bound to feel the need to show his mother he was still as sharp as he used to be. After all, though it might be easy to forget now that he has failed numerous times already this season, Archer actually used to be pretty damn good in the field.
So, he takes Cyril and Ray with him to Colombia to sell a bunch of their cocaine without telling anyone. Meanwhile, back at Tunt mansion, Malory and Lana worry about the missing ex-ISIS agents as Krieger, Pam and Cherlene fail to grasp the severity of the situation. Krieger's more focused on his disturbing Woodhouse GILF cam, Cherlene continues to care only about herself and her singing career, and Pam … well, she likes cocaine, remember? I hope they do not ride the cocaine addiction for the entire season with Pam, unless they give her more to work with. It is a tough act to maintain a running joke without much variety if it is not a particularly clever one, and Pam constantly eating cocaine has grown tiresome.
Despite that, seven episodes into the season, Archer gives us an episode that feels like it could have been from a previous season. Out in the field, the Archer/Cyril/Ray dynamic works wonders, and we are lucky to have more of them next episode as we see the fallout of this week's events. Cyril is clueless and terrified, while Ray is realistic but slightly less terrified. Archer, of course, is bold and careless, but the most intelligent and experienced.
Their entry into Colombia instantly brought back the feel of the old Archer, and considering how different the show has been this season, it was a welcome return. I have really enjoyed the new direction so far, but familiarity can be a good thing, too.
We also got to see a side of Malory that does not often show itself. Even though she was furious after falling victim to yet another one (and probably the best) of Archer's voicemails, she shed a tear and begged Lana to go find her son. A lot of the other characters have been given a degree of development in their character this season, but Malory had remained mostly the same until now.
"Smugglers' Blues" succeeds both in pairing the feel of the old Archer with the new and heightening anticipation for next week's episode as Archer, Cyril and Ray find themselves in a South American prison.

Q: Jquery .GET function from JSON data The jQuery below illustrates how I get the products from https://dummyjson.com/products. However, I don't know how to iterate the loop to retrieve each of the 30 products in the link and the details of each product.
$.get("https://dummyjson.com/products/1")
    .done(function(data, textStatus, jqXHR){

        console.log("typeof(data) is: " + typeof(data));
        console.log("data is: "+ data);
        console.log(data.length);

        var result = [];
        result = JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(data));
        console.log(typeof(result));
        console.log(result.length);
        var keys = Object.keys(result);

        keys.forEach(function (key) {
            console.log("forEach");
            console.log(key, result[key]);
            //console.log(result[0]);
        });

    })

    .fail(function(jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown){
        alert("error");
        console.log(jqXHR);
        console.log(textStatus);
        console.log(errorThrown);

    });

A: You should iterate through the object itself instead of the keys. Also, use let instead of var (see here).

$.get("https://dummyjson.com/products/1")
  .done(function(data) {
    let result = JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(data));
    $.each( result, function( key, value ) {
      console.log( key + ": " + value );
    });
  })
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>

For multiple products you need another for loop to iterate through each product:

$(document).ready(function() {
  $.get("https://dummyjson.com/products")
    .done(function(data) {
      let result = JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(data));
      $.each(result, function( key, products) {
        for (let i = 0; i < products.length; ++i) {
          console.log(products[i].id);
          console.log(products[i].title);
          console.log(products[i].description);
        }
      });
    })
});
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>

A: Thats is totally depends upon how was your reponse are.
If  your response like this.
{
   "status": true,
   "data" : [
     {
         "id": 1,
         "name": "xyz",
     },
     {
         "id": 2,
         "name": "xyz",
     }
   ]
}

then you have to use following code:
$.get('/your-url', function(response) {
    if(response.status) {
       $.each(response.data, function(index, item) {
           console.log(item);
       })
    } else {
       alert('Your API sent false status')
    }
})

Otherwise your response something like this.
[
     {
         "id": 1,
         "name": "xyz",
     },
     {
         "id": 2,
         "name": "xyz",
     }
]

then you have to use following code:
$.get('/your-url', function(response) {
    $.each(response, function(index, item) {
       console.log(item);
    })
})


The Era of Warring States is upon Caldaria. 13 Factions fight for the unification and bring peace to the people. Who will be victorious?
Based on the Diplomacy mod by Wahiti, the Warring States brings more action and intrigue beyond the native play. Will you be King or a Kingmaker? The choice is yours.
Any time in-game that you have a formation form or "Hold," it will set up near the position that the player had when the command was issued: infantry to the left, cavalry to the right, and archers up front. Additionally, the formations may maintain the same FACING that the player had (depending on mod design).
Whenever a unit first forms a particular formation, troops may spread out for ease of forming up (depending on mod design).
Player troops start every battle in formation.
Archers have no formation other than their starting line. They are put in formation for practicality's sake. Once unformed, they cannot be reformed (since the player can just use F1 to "reform" them).
Charge (and Dismount for cavalry) will undo a formation. The player may Advance multiple times to have a formation move toward the average position of the enemy. Or use the order panel or hold-F1 to place them (or sweep them across the enemy for the cavalry wedge).
6 new cities and a fortress.
Not trying to sound mean or something, but what about the start menu's?
But as I said: I can't even start a new game.... I don't get the menu (as in the game loads as it does, then I get the background (the nord looking guys, one of em with a big beard and axe) and on the left the box where you ussually choose new game, options etc etc.. But that I don't get those choices/buttons what ever you call them... It's just the pic and the box..
@Ralen you have 1.1 version of the game? Why don't you upgrade it to the latest 1.113? Perhaps thats why you have problems with loading this module.
Thanks for the offer. I am new to modding as well. This is my first time coding in Python with the Module System, too. Caldaria - Warring States is sort of my training ground before I work on my new world project.
Downloading as we speak. I really try to spice up Warband a bit with any interesting modes i find around. For example i am thinking of getting this mode and add Pike&Blade on it. I think it should work. (Maybe i would have to add the new faction units in the end but i will work on it). What i really miss is the great variety of items from mods like PoP or such. I would greatly suggest it as an addition to further versions. I think it will attract a lot of players.
Sure TigerGRC.. I welcome any help I can get.
I am now done with editing the troop, and party_templates files. Everything seems good and without any trouble, units seem to be as planed and such. Now fully fixed!!! Messages work properly and i haven't spoted any other problems so far!
In any case i can show you the mod and if you like it you could add it in the new version.
I'm not very experienced either, but I also have a lot of time on my hands and have always had modding in mind. Pm me if you want to team up.
Hi, is this mode compatible to Warband 1.127? because I got problem during loading a new game.
What I think would be a great addition is giving the option to permanently kill the lods if you capture them. I tried to find how to do it myself but I can't seem to find a way to edit a mod in order to do that. Still I think it spices up the whole thing a bit since you can get rid of the annoying people who keep attacking you and sack the power of your oponents military that way.
Minor detail: it's actually spelled "Calradia" rather that "Caldaria" unless you intended to change it for some reason.
hey , great mod love everything in it. there is only one thing bugging me that lords dont have there own banners any more , they all use one banner and that isnt even the right kingdom banner. so how can i change this myself ??? pls help and keep up the good work.

On 3622(A)(3) Release For Medical Treatment
New York Law Journal / Written by: Harvey M. Stone, Peter R. Schlam
This column reports on several significant, representative decisions handed down recently in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York.
Section 3622(a)(3) – Release for Medical Treatment
In United States v. Gigante, 02 CR 140 (EDNY, March 12, 2002), Judge I. Leo Glasser, denying defendant's request to be temporarily released from incarceration for medical testing and treatment, held that the court had no jurisdiction to grant the relief sought.
Following a 1997 jury trial in a prior Eastern District case, defendant Vincent Gigante was convicted of racketeering and related offenses. In pretrial proceedings there, defendant had claimed that he was mentally incompetent and physically too vulnerable to stand trial. The court found that defendant was able to go to trial and that his mental incompetence was feigned. After the jury verdict, defendant made, and the court rejected similar claims regarding his competence to be sentenced. Defendant received a 12-year prison sentence.
Defendant was later indicted in the instant case for alleged racketeering and obstruction of justice related to his conduct in prison. While he was incarcerated at the Federal Medical Center in Fort Worth, Texas, the U.S. Attorney arranged for him to be transferred to the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn pending disposition of the new charges.
In February 2002, defendant moved, by order to show cause, for his "temporary release" from the "custody of the United States Marshals" (a) to Lutheran Medical Center in Brooklyn for cardiac testing; (b) then, if necessary, to Mount Sinai Hospital in Manhattan for surgery; and (c)thereafter, back to Lutheran Medical Center for the rest of his incarceration. At hearings on the motion, Judge Glasser sua sponte raised questions about the court's jurisdiction.
As explained in the court's decision, defendant erroneously assumed that he was brought here from Texas pursuant to a writ of habeas corpus ad prosequendum. Defendant, however, was not in the custody of a separate sovereign while in Texas. Rather, he was merely transferred from one federal facility to another, by the prosecutor's request to the warden of the Fort Worth facility.
Nor, contrary to defendant's assumption, is he in the custody of the U.S. Marshal. As the court explained, defendant is a "pretrial inmate" as to the pending indictment and would thus be in the "safekeeping" of the U.S. marshals pursuant to 18 U.S.C. 4086. But he is also a convicted inmate serving a federal sentence. Therefore, under 28 C.F.R. 551.101(a)(3) and (b), he is not a "pretrial inmate." Accordingly, defendant "is in the custody of the Bureau of Prisons which is charged by [18 U.S.C.] 4042(a)(2) with providing for his safekeeping and care as a person convicted of an offense or otherwise held." Slip op. 8.
Application for Relief
Defendant based his application for relief on 18 U.S.C. 3622(a)(3), which provides that the Bureau of Prisons may release a prisoner to visit a designated place for no more than 30 days to obtain medical treatment not otherwise available. One of the several conditions for release is "reasonable cause to believe that a prisoner will honor the trust imposed in him."
That statute, Judge Glasser concluded, does not apply here. Defendant's request to be confined at Lutheran Medical Center "for the remainder of his incarceration" would exceed the 30-day limit. Nor was there "reasonable cause" to believe that he would "honor the trust imposed in him."
Because a furlough was also unavailable (see 28 C.F.R. 570.30 et seq.), the applicable regulation is 28 C.F.R. 570.41, Medical Escorted Trips. This again leaves defendant in the custody and control of the Bureau of Prisons, which must determine whether a medical escorted trip is appropriate. Slip op. 10-11.
As the court also noted, defendant failed to exhaust administrative remedies as required by The Prisoner Litigation Reform Act, 42 U.S.C. 1997e. Slip op. 11-15.
Declaratory Judgment
Corporate Dispute. In RJE Corp. v. Northville Industries Corp., 02 CV 1440 (EDNY, April 25, 2002), Judge Frederic Block construed a series of agreements between feuding family members concerning the ownership and valuation of a multimillion-dollar petroleum pipeline system on Long Island.
By the mid-1980s, the progeny of Samuel Bernstein - who had founded a coal company that grew to own the valuable pipeline at issue - were in two hostile camps, each headed by one of his sons: Harold and Raymond. In 1988, they entered a series of agreements designed to apportion their respective rights and responsibilities with respect to the pipeline, including responsibility for current and future environmental costs that had become a special concern after a 1986 leak.
The agreements left Harold Bernstein in control of Northville, the family company and, thus, in control of the pipeline, together with its revenues and obligations. In exchange for conveying his 44.3 percent interest in the company to Harold, Raymond Bernstein received rights and assumed obligations, as set forth in the agreements, through his entity, plaintiff RJE. Among the terms of the agreements, RJE was to receive an annual consulting fee of $840,000 and agreed to share proportionally in environmental liabilities (subject to the limitation that its environmental obligations would not exceed the amounts received in exchange for the Northville stock). In addition, RJE retained a right of first refusal in the event Northville sought to sell to a third party and was entitled to participate in proportion to its former interest in the event of such a sale.
The 1988 agreements included various mechanisms by which the parties could terminate their joint dealings with respect to the pipeline system. One of these was an "Option Agreement," pursuant to which the parties could submit to a defined bidding process to determine which would control the pipeline in its entirety. Faced with mounting environmental liabilities, Northville decided to shut down the pipeline operation. An "Abandonment Provision" in the Option Agreement provided that, in such a case, the Pipeline System would be appraised and the parties would submit bids upon it. If Northville bid the higher amount, it would be free to terminate the operation as planned. If RJE won the bidding, it would acquire the pipeline operation.
Northville took the position that, for purposes of bidding under the Abandonment Provision, the value of the "Pipeline Operation" should include its environmental obligations. RJE argued that such obligations were excluded by the express agreement of the parties. It brought an action for a declaratory judgment to clarify the issue prior to the bidding process and for specific performance to force Northville to comply with the Option Agreement under RJE's interpretation.
Judge Block found that, read together, the relevant agreements were unambiguous in excluding remediation costs from the calculation of the pipeline system's fair market value. Among other considerations, he noted that Pipeline System "is defined in the preamble of the Option Agreement to include any assets, without any reference to liabilities" (slip op. 13-14) and that "where the parties intended to have RJE assume environmental liabilities, they explicitly provided for such assumptions" elsewhere in the agreements. Id. at 21.
RJE's victory was not complete, however. As the court concluded: "The only harm that RJE has suffered as a result of Northville's mistake [in construing the agreements] has been the incidental costs incurred in obtaining the appraisals and preparing its bid, and attorney's fees and costs associated with this litigation.... Assuming Northville is willing to compensate RJE for the [se] incidental costs, specific performance will not be ordered." Slip op. 33.
Cable Act
In Goldberg v. Cablevision Systems Corp., 01 CV 4223 (EDNY, March 23, 2002), Judge Arthur D. Spatt dismissed plaintiff's cause of action under the Cable Communications Policy Act of 1984 (the Cable Act) based on Cablevision's refusal to air his programs on their public access channel until he signed an Access User Contract.
Under the Cable Act federal, state or local governmental entities may grant a franchise to a cable operator to construct or operate a cable system. The Cable Act permits the franchising authority to require cable operators to provide public, educational and governmental (PEG) channel capacity on their cable systems and to establish rules and procedures for the use of the PEG channel.
The New York State Public Service Commission sets minimum standards that are incorporated into every franchise agreement. State regulations require that New York cable operators with a capacity of 21 or more channels designate at least one full-time channel for public access and at least one full-time channel for educational and governmental use. Both federal and state regulations prohibit franchisees and municipalities from "exercising 'any editorial control over any public, educational or governmental use of channel capacity designated for PEG purposes."' Slip op. 5. The only restriction a cable operator may impose is to refuse to transmit any public access program or portion thereof which contains obscenity, indecency or nudity.
Cablevision's franchise agreement with the Town of Oyster Bay requires Cablevision to make available and activate two PEG access channels. The agreement further requires Cablevision to develop and implement rules for PEG Access Channel use which insure that the PEG channel and equipment are available on a first-come, nondiscriminatory basis and which comply with federal and state laws.
Plaintiff, a resident of Oyster Bay, produces television programming to be shown on the public access channel designated by the agreement between Cablevision and Oyster Bay. Prior to April 1, 2001, plaintiff and Cablevision had entered into an Access User Contract, by which plaintiff agreed to abide by Cablevision's Access Rules, to reimburse Cablevision for damage to equipment and facilities, to reimburse or indemnify Cablevision for any liability for violation of intellectual property rights of third parties and to provide programs that do not include obscene or indecent material or advertisements for a lottery.
Effective April 1, 2001, Cablevision required plaintiff to enter into a new Access User Contract based on a revised set of access user rules and guidelines. The new contract was more specific but generally covered the same areas and required the same agreements. Plaintiff signed the new agreement, but added a provision stating: "Nothing is or has been agreed to that is not in accord with United States and New York State law or that would waive my rights that would otherwise apply." The complaint alleged that Cablevision revoked the existing Access User Contract because of plaintiff's amendment, sent him a clean copy of the contract and invited him to submit it. Plaintiff alleged that Cablevision refused to cablecast any of his programs until he signed the agreement without his proposed language.
Cablevision based its motion to dismiss on the ground that it had not violated the Cable Act, because the requirement that programmers sign an Access User Contract did not constitute "editorial control" prohibited by 531(e). As Judge Spatt noted, while 531(e) prohibits a cable operator from exercising "editorial control" over PEG programming, cable operators may enforce contractual and state-law provisions regarding PEG access. Thus, the court concluded, Cablevision's "decision not to cablecast the plaintiff's programs was not based on the nature or content of its programs." Slip op. 13. Instead, Cablevision's contract requirement was merely an attempt to enforce its technical and procedural rules regarding PEG access channel use, as required by Oyster Bay and permitted under the Cable Act. The court dismissed plaintiff's claim under 531(e), stating:
To hold otherwise would render cable operators completely powerless to regulate how and when their facilities are used; to organize the submission and cablecasting of programs; to protect their property; and to limit their liability in intellectual property actions brought by third parties.

I have been practicing handling skills on my bicycle.
1. For braking, I applied gentle pressure to the rear brake and then played with the front brake. I could skid the rear tire by applying pressure to the front brake. I am going to play a bit more to see if I can perceive any variability based on how suddenly I hit the front brake. Also thinking about switching the brake levers so front brake on my bicycle is right hand instead of left hand.
2. There is a parking lot near my house with 9' by 21' parking spaces. I practice figure eights in two wide by two long. On my bicycle, I can do a figure eight in one parking space. That is making be wonder if I could do a figure eight on a motorcycle in one space. I am thinking that would be pushing it a bit due to geometric limitations. But I think I can do it in a much smaller area than the two by two I have been using. I have also found it easier to use the brake on the bicycle than on the motorcycle and it has given me a better feel for how I could be using the brake.
Good point! My kids ride my bicycles too.
Although they also ride motorcycles so as long as I tell them, it could be a benefit to us all.
Also thinking about switching the brake levers so front brake on my bicycle is right hand instead of left hand.
I was taking a demo ride when the Specialized truck was in the area. As the tech was setting the bike up for me I mentioned that I had my own bicycle set up with the front brake from the right control. The tech responded, "Oh, moto-style!". Apparently a fair bit of the world has their bicycles set up that way.
Sooo...if the right lever is the front brake is the left lever a gear changer? Let's not be half-assed about this now.
On my bicycle, I can do a figure eight in one parking space. That is making be wonder if I could do a figure eight on a motorcycle in one space.
You could, with the right type of bike.
Frankly I'm surprised Trials didn't mention that, he knows just the type of bike that can do it.
With the dual sport bikes, especially the KLX, I can do figure eight in considerably less than the full 2 by 2 spot format. But getting down to one would be challenging. Maybe I should draw out a space in a field so that I could drop the bike a few times with less damage than dropping on pavement.
Although more useful than tightening up the space in which I can do the figure eight might be increasing the speed.
If it was s dirt bike thing; figure 8's on off-camber surface or tight turn figure 8's over a cinder block would be the next logical practice.
I guess, I could put the gear changer on the left peddle and the rear brake on the right peddle. The left lever could be a power modulator. Perhaps some kind of slip mechanism built into the bottom bracket.
Of course, the peddle controls would need to be wireless. Running cables to the peddles would be challenging.
My first thought was that I could get closest with the KLX. And I still think that is true because of the weight. But I suppose the theoretical limit would have more to do with geometry than weight. I wonder if a very skilled rider would be able to do a tighter figure eight with the Versys than the KLX.
My son has learned do circles with the handle bars in the full lock position on his CB500X. I wonder how tight he could do figure eights.
Gear shifter could be a variable selector lever on the left...it doesn't have to be a complex clutch/shifter method, just have the shifting process on the left hand grip.
Now it's been forever since I owned a bicycle so I'm only speculating on the next part --- rear brake would be a coaster brake (where you counter rotate/reverse the pedals to slow/lock the rear tire), although that may not work so well in conjunction with a derailer system for changing gears where you have to back-pedal to unjam a jamming gear change.
On the other hand I had a AMF Aerobee Renegade that was a three speed sans derailer, I don't see why that type of set up wouldn't work with a coaster brake.
My first thought was a trials bike...just hop it around into a figure 8. Like I said, I'm surprised Trials didn't jump in on this one.
On a more serious note it would have to be a short wheelbase bike. I can wrench my Rebel into a side by side parking space figure 8 but I doubt I could pull it off within a single space. Maybe a Grom or Z125 could do it.

Presentation of Fullchamp
Our plant in Taiwan
Date: 26. June 2019
Our Asian subsidiary Fullchamp produces around 200,000 high-quality forged wheels for the commercial vehicle sector and our SPEEDLINE TRUCK brand for us in Nantou (Taiwan) each year. We asked Yahn-Shen Tsai, managing director at Fullchamp since 2013, a few questions.
Y.S., who founded Fullchamp and why?
Fullchamp (FCT) was founded in 2002 by Long-Yi Wei, the pioneer of forging technology in Asia. FCT technology originates from the aerospace industry. At the time, trends were moving toward weight lightening for planes and vehicles. Forging leads to lighter products with higher strength. The production of large forged wheels for heavy trucks started in 2005. In 2007, we started to supply commercial vehicle OEMs in the US, thus becoming an important supplier of forged wheels.
Tell us more about the background to the 2012 takeover by the RONAL GROUP. What was it like to become part of the RONAL GROUP?
Fullchamp was acquired by Europe's largest wheel manufacturer, the RONAL GROUP, in 2012 because FCT has a great deal of experience in the forged wheel technology and is specialized in forged truck wheels, passenger car wheels and motorcycle wheels. The RONAL GROUP understood the importance of Asia and therefore, Fullchamp became the group's first and only main administration and production center in Asia. Fullchamp has been focusing on forged technology for over ten years and was also the pioneer in this region. As a result of the merger, FCT entered the European automobile market on a larger scale. FCT has learned to blend RONAL's management style and quality control into its local culture and has combined all this with its own techniques to achieve higher performance, as well as the corporate value of social responsibility.
How many employees do you have? Are they mainly from Taiwan or are they from other countries as well? What are their main competences?
We have approximately 250 employees. Some 75% are from Taiwan, working in most aspects of the company. A quarter are from Thailand, working mainly as equipment operators. Their main competences and skills are know-how and experience in forging production, and high levels of responsibility and team consciousness.
What is it like working with colleagues from Europe? Do you see cultural differences and similarities?
Working with Europeans is interesting and provides opportunities for us to learn about different values, working styles and new approaches regarding problem solving. At the beginning, people from different backgrounds need some time to get familiar with each other, but then the teamwork gradually become smoother. Cultural differences do exist; for instance, Europeans tend to express their intentions and opinions directly, while Asians, like the Taiwanese, would think deeply before speaking out. But there are also similarities. What we have in common is dedication to completing work tasks, passion and the ambition to provide excellent products and services. That's also one of the reasons why the merger took place.
What is so special about forged wheels compared to "regular" alloy wheels?
Forged wheel products comply with the market trend of high-end wheel needs. FCT forged alloy wheels provide lower weight, higher load and therefore better performance. Our forged wheels are advanced in terms of the strength of their mechanical properties, because their molecular structure does not change during the forging process.
Furthermore, Fullchamp possesses technologies that are at the same level as aerospace transport, with its exclusive formula for materials, forged die designed as a result of special engineering methods, and meticulously examined heat treatment manufacturing processes. Therefore, the strength of the material is more enhanced.
Why did you specialize in forged wheels for commercial vehicles for the RONAL GROUP? Are there differences in producing forged wheels for passenger cars and commercial vehicles? What are the challenges?
Forging has bigger technical advantages for CV (commercial vehicle) than for PV (passenger vehicle) production. CV focuses on strength of mechanical properties and load weight, while PV focuses on profile style or speed performance. There is also a difference in forged wheel production: CV focuses on forging, flow forming and heat treatment, whereas PV focuses on turning and milling. Stress analysis is crucial when it comes to production engineering for CV, which also affects production efficiency. FCT has invested human and equipment resources in this aspect to ensure excellent performance.
Tell us more about your testing center. What do you do there?
Lab testing is part of product design. The testing environment consists of simulated road conditions and conforms to the highest standards, such as TUV. With design and verification, the competence of R&D is enhanced. We have different test types and certifications. The lab is certified by TUV Germany and JWL/VIA Japan, and test types such as radial fatigue, cornering fatigue, tensile tests, metallographic tests, impact force, and other tests can be undertaken to examine the safety of our products.

The plane with Yavlinsky on board was depressurised on the way from Grozny [to Moscow]
Interfax, 07.03.2017, 14:08
Pohto by Valery Sharifulin, TASS
Moscow. 7 March. INTERFAX.RU – Depressurisation took place in an airplane where Grigory Yavlinsky, Yabloko leader and presidential candidate, was returning from Grozny to Moscow on Tuesday, said party spokesman Igor Yakovlev.
"They flew from Grozny to Moscow, and when they were about to reach the airport [in Moscow], the pilot announced depressurisation of the cabin, although they themselves did not feel it, but the problem was that the plane began to drop sharply, literally in a few minutes from a height of 10,000 meters to 4,000 – 5,000 meters," Yakovlev told Interfax.
According to him, this caused unpleasant feelings among passengers, "people just grabbed their heads, someone was bleeding from ears, three ambulances were meeting the plane."
"Yavlinsky's ears are heavily laid, he still experiences discomfort in this regard, but in general everything is all right with him," the Yabloko spokesman added.
On Tuesday Yavlinsky attended the court [hearings] on prolongation of the arrest to Oyub Titiyev, Chairman of the Chechen representation of the human rights centre Memorial, who had been accused of drug trafficking. Yavlinsky petitioned that the court dismiss Titiyev under his personal guarantee.
A source in the emergency services in his turn told Interfax that "the incident occurred the previous evening around 5:00 pm Moscow time." "The crew of the Boeing-737 aircraft, which was leaving Grozny for Moscow, reported an emergency on board – depressurisation of the aircraft and requested an emergency reduction from an altitude of 8,000 meters to a flight level of about 3,000 meters," the source said.
The pilots managed to reach the destination airport in Moscow at a low level. "The plane landed safely in [the] Vnukovo [airport]." After landing, the experts of the airport services began a comprehensive assessment of the state of the aircraft," the source said.
