Share a Hug with Hello Kitty!
Sanrio Launches Global Campaign to Share a Hug with Hello Kitty!
In celebration of beloved pop culture icon Hello Kitty's 40th anniversary, Sanrio has announced Share a Hug with Hello Kitty!, a global "hugathon" which will make its way to the United States starting on International Hug Day, January 21, 2014. The campaign started in Japan in late 2013 and focuses on bringing smiles to Hello Kitty fans of all ages around the world - a philosophy to which Hello Kitty has remained true over the past 40 years.
To promote the campaign, Hello Kitty will appear at special events around the world where she will give hugs to her fans and spread the message of fun and friendship. At every appearance, the hugs will be tallied and added to the Global Hug Report, which will be displayed on http://www.sanrio.com/global-hug-report/. Limited edition 40th anniversary commemorative products can be found on Sanrio.com and at select Sanrio boutique stores. Updates will also be available on Hello Kitty's social media platforms where fans will be encouraged to tag and share their posts using #HelloKittyHugs. This unique initiative is geared toward honoring and celebrating the ever-loyal and beloved Hello Kitty fans, while promoting the company philosophy of friendship, happiness and community.
The launch of the Share a Hug with Hello Kitty! campaign in the U.S. is the first of many special events and activities surrounding Hello Kitty's 40th anniversary. Further details on additional events and collaborations will follow later this year.


Mechanical engineers at the organization had long been permitted to use whatever mechanical computer-aided design (MCAD) software package they wanted. As a result about 40% of the engineers used Package A, another 40% used Package B, and the remaining 20% used a variety of other packages.
Using multiple MCAD packages doubled or tripled the cost of purchase, maintenance, and support. For at least eight years the company had been trying, without success, to eliminate these excess costs by getting the engineers to agree on a standard MCAD package.
Now, however, there was urgent need to reach agreement. The company's entire design function was undergoing reengineering. Because the cost was prohibitive to write interfaces for multiple MCAD systems, there was now a critical need for agreement on a single standard MCAD package to be able to have a single integrated set of design software for all the organization's projects.
Making the situation more difficult was a strong advocacy and considerable investment already made in licenses, training, and supporting systems for a variety of packages.
Lack of agreement put the entire reengineering effort and investment at risk and had a negative impact on the engineers' productivity as they spent time on the dispute.
Frontier Associates, Inc. (FAI) was engaged to produce a solution that would be supported by all the engineers and other stakeholders, and that met the budgetary concerns of the organization and of the reengineering effort.
Using FAI's Breakthrough Process, we facilitated a 35-person group, representing all of the primary stakeholder groups, to reach consensus on a configuration that met the budgetary goals of a single primary MCAD package with a limited set of multiple smaller, specialized packages. The total time required was 18 hours, consisting of 4 meetings in 4 months. Because the participants were the prime influencers regarding this issue, everyone else at the company quickly adopted the group's decision.
Today, over 13 years later, the issue has never resurfaced, showing that a genuine consensus was reached and the problem was truly resolved.

Synopsis for "A Savage Land"
Deep below the Earth, water from the surface begins to seep into ancient caverns and begins to thaw out something that has been frozen for millennia. Freed from its frozen tombs, this ancient monster awakens and begins digging its way to freedom.
At the offices of the Daily Bugle, J. Jonah Jameson has just finished telling Peter Parker about his latest assignment: To go to the Savage Land to report on the effects of climate change in the region.[Continuity 1] He has chosen Peter to go as the photographer has been to the Savage Land in the past.[Continuity 2] Although Peter has his reservations, he is eventually talked into going by his wife, Mary Jane, as they could really use the money to pay for their schooling.[Continuity 3]
He soon finds himself on a transport to the South Pole along with a collection of other reporters and scientists. The entire expedition is overseen by SHIELD agent Chris Townsend under directions of the United Nations, who is there to makes sure that the reporters and scientists get in and out of the region safely. Although the reporters are allowed to roam freely, Townsend warns that the Savage Land is a dangerous place and they should always have a SHIELD advisor with them at all times. As he begins briefing them on the environmental reports, which Peter has already read. He thinks grimly about how climate change has been causing the glaciers around the Savage Land to thaw, threatening massive floods that will wipe out all life in the region. It will be the largest ecological disaster in human history unless the United Nations and SHIELD can do something to stop it. Soon, they arrive over the Savage Land, the sight of which still manages to take Peter's breath away. Once they land at a facility, Peter and the others are brought to a lab that is being run by the Roxxon corporation. Agent Townsend explains that Roxxon is working on building massive refrigeration units to keep the glaciers from melting further. They are then introduced to the head of the project, Doctor Gerald Roth, who thanks them all for coming and tells them that the road ahead will be a treacherous one.
Suspicious of what Roxxon is really up to, Peter Parker slips away from the group and changes into Spider-Man so he can look around unimpeded and get photos of the truth. Given his past experience in the Savage Land, the wall-crawler knows that there is only one person in all of the Savage Land who can give him the unfettered truth. At that moment, in the village of the Fall People, a triceratops is running wild. When a little girl ends up in the path of the rampaging dinosaur, Ka-Zar swoops in and rescues her from being trampled. After the dinosaur is restrained, Ka-Zar meets with Tongah, his ally to warn him that a nearby dam is about to burst.[Continuity 4] Once that happens, the entire village will be washed away and time is of the essence as the dam is scheduled to burst by nightfall. Sensing Spider-Man up in a nearby tree, Ka-Zar tells the wall-crawler he can come down. Spider-Man explains that he has heard about the problems they have been having in the Savage Land and has come to lend a hand.[Error 1]
In the caverns of Monster Island,[Error 2] the various monsters who live here are waiting patiently for the return of their absent master, the Mole Man.[Continuity 5] The creatures suddenly hear rumbling coming from one of the tunnels. When they see the creature that is coming their way, these monsters flee in abject terror.
Back in the Savage Land, Agent Townsend is informed that although the refrigeration units are operating at peak capacity but are still unable to abate the melting glaciers. As they discuss what to do next none are aware that within the melting glacier is the form of Stegron the Dinosaur Man.[Continuity 6] While back in the village of the Fall People, Spider-Man and Ka-Zar are working together to evacuate the villagers to higher ground. Ka-Zar explains that SHIELD is not helping with the evacuation because the Fall People do not trust them. Making matters more difficult is the fact that the time table for evacuation continues to be pushed up. That's when Spider-Man's spider-sense begins going off followed by the arrival of two SHIELD agents. The agents warn Ka-Zar that he has less than an hour to get his people to higher ground before the dam bursts. With this news, Spider-Man and Ka-Zar begin rushing the Fall People to safety. With the majority of the people brought to safety, Ka-Zar takes the wall-crawler back to the village for the last two people to be evacuated. In a tent, they find Shanna the She-Devil who is caring for a young girl who is sick with Malaria. Ka-Zar and his wife explain that the local shaman refuses to allow them to use modern medicine to cure the girl. Worse, at the advice of this same shaman, the other villagers have shunned the girl as an outcast to be left behind.
Suddenly, the dam bursts sending torrents of water heading toward the village. Spider-Man, Ka-Zar, Shanna, and Zabu scramble to get the girl to safety. After they have gotten to high ground, Spider-Man suggests that they call in some back-up to help with this situation. While at the SHIELD/Roxxon facility, Agent Townsend is kept up to date on the deterioration of the glaciers, Chris then determines that the Savage Land is a lost cause. However, once the SHIELD agent has left, Doctor Roth checks with his technicians who are actually accellerating the melting of the glaciers so that Roxxon can claim the Savage Land for themselves.
Interlude:
Back on Monster Island, the Mole Man's creatures flee the island for their lives. Shortly after their departure the creature known as Chtylok the Che-K'n Kau emerges from the underground caverns and begins making its way to the Savage Land.
Continuity Notes
↑ J. Jonah Jameson specifically cites the hole in the ozone layer over Antarctica. At the time this issue was published, this was a serious concern. Although ozone depletion is still a concern, the growing damage that was a major concern in 1997 is less so a concern now. A 2018 UN report has noted that the ozone layer is actually starting to heal and could return to pre-1980 levels (when the ozone crisis began) by 2060. As such, this should be considered a topical reference per the Sliding Timescale of Earth-616. Likewise should the use of the phrase "global warming" be considered a topical reference as the more accurate term of "climate change" has long since been adopted.
↑ Peter has been to the Savage Land on a few occasions at this point. His first visit occurred in Amazing Spider-Man #103-104. He subsequently visited the Savage Land in Marvel Fanfare #1-3.
↑ Peter and Mary Jane are referred to as husband and wife here. However, years later, their marriage is erased from existence by Mephisto in Amazing Spider-Man #545. As such they should be considered a common-law couple here.
↑ When last seen in Ka-Zar the Savage #5, Tongah had died. However, as explained in X-Men: Earth's Mutant Heroes #1, Tongah was one of the many Savage Land residents that were resurrected by the High Evolutionary in Uncanny X-Men Annual #12, explaining why he is alive here.
↑ At the time of this story, the Mole Man was incarcerated as seen in Heroes for Hire #1. He will return to his domain in Fantastic Four Vol 3 #1. These monsters are the same ones that were first seen in Fantastic Four #1, none of which have been identified by name.
↑ Stegron has been frozen in ice since Thunderstrike #20.

Q: Decode Jwt token React I use jsonwebtoken to decode my Token to see if it has expired or not. But, the console.log return null.
 var token = response.headers.authorization;
 token = token.replace('Bearer','');
 var jwt = require('jsonwebtoken');
 var decoded = jwt.decode(token);
 console.log(decoded);

I'm don't understand because my token is not null

A: Assuming your header is something like Bearer eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJzdWIiOiIxMjM0NTY3ODkwIiwibmFtZSI6IkpvaG4gRG9lIiwiaWF0IjoxNTE2MjM5MDIyfQ.SflKxwRJSMeKKF2QT4fwpMeJf36POk6yJV_adQssw5c
then after line 2 you have a leading space.
See the below example for the difference the leading space makes. Trimming the leading space should resolve your issue.
var jwt = require("jsonwebtoken");

var token1 = "eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJzdWIiOiIxMjM0NTY3ODkwIiwibmFtZSI6IkpvaG4gRG9lIiwiaWF0IjoxNTE2MjM5MDIyfQ.SflKxwRJSMeKKF2QT4fwpMeJf36POk6yJV_adQssw5c";
var token2 = " eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJzdWIiOiIxMjM0NTY3ODkwIiwibmFtZSI6IkpvaG4gRG9lIiwiaWF0IjoxNTE2MjM5MDIyfQ.SflKxwRJSMeKKF2QT4fwpMeJf36POk6yJV_adQssw5c";

var decode1 = jwt.decode(token1);
var decode2 = jwt.decode(token2);

console.log("without leading space");
console.log(decode1);
// { sub: '1234567890', name: 'John Doe', iat: 1516239022 }

console.log("with leading space");
console.log(decode2);
// null

A: It seems like you are using JWT. To decode this type of token you can simply use jwt-decode library. For example, in ReactJS:
import jwt from 'jwt-decode' // import dependency
...
// some logic
axios.post(`${axios.defaults.baseURL}/auth`, { email, password })
    .then(res => {
      const token = res.data.token;
      const user = jwt(token); // decode your token here
      localStorage.setItem('token', token);
      dispatch(actions.authSuccess(token, user));
    })
    .catch(err => {
      dispatch(actions.loginUserFail());
  });

A: Try jwt-decode in Library react
Install jwt-decode Library
npm i jwt-decode

Sample Code
import jwt_decode from "jwt-decode";

const token = "eyJ0eXAiO.../// jwt token";
const decoded = jwt_decode(token);
console.log(decoded);

A: It may be as simple as removing the extra space that your pasted sample would leave. The authorization header is <scheme><space><value> so:
`var token = token.replace('Bearer ','');`

I would like the pickers to change based on which value is input in the series text field, for both materials and width.
Perhaps pickers isn't the best choice, I am open to any suggestions.
Thanks!

A: ForEach(materials.indices)

Needs to be
ForEach(materials.indices, id: \.self)

Because you are not using a compile-time constant in ForEach.
In general for fixed selections like this your code can be much simpler if you make everything enums, and make the enums Identifiable. This simplified example only shows one set of materials but you could return an array of applicable materials depending on the selected series (which could also be an enum?)
enum Material: Identifiable, CaseIterable {
    case hp, lf, steel
    var id: Material { self }
    var title: String {
        ... return an appropriate title
    }
}

@State var material: Material

...

Picker("Material", selection: $material) {
    ForEach(Material.allCases) {
        Text($0.title)
    }
}

1984 By George Orwell: An Analysis
1984, written by George Orwell, illustrates to us that the government is not always there to help us; they are there for personal gain and to keep their country on a short leash. The leader, known as Big Brother, watches their citizens' every move day in and day out. The Party controls everything from their history all the way down to their language. Even thinking rebellious thoughts is a crime and worthy of conviction. Thoughtcrime, in fact, is the worst crime that can be committed. "One of the most important roles of our government in the United States is to assist" (Government) its citizens when they need it. This role with always be implemented in society because of the sheer mass hysteria there would be if our government did nothing …show more content…
For example in 2014, in Huntsville, Alabama, the school thought it would be necessary to hire a retired FBI agent to keep the students and faculty safe because "the district received a tip about a social media post concerning a threat to a high school teacher, Ward said. The student was found to have brought a knife with an eight inch blade to campus, he added" (Wallace). Even though they hired him, they still have had incidents where kids have been expelled because of something they have said or done that threatened the school and/or its workers or students. This relates to 1984 because Julia "took it for granted that everyone, or nearly everyone, secretly hated the Party and would break the rules if he thought it safe to do so" (Orwell 152). Another school system example is dress code. Administrators and the Dress Code Dean attempt to enforce it by threatening the students with detentions or in school suspensions, while students still break it everyday because most teachers do not care if you break it as long as the clothes you have on are not provocative or offending anyone in any way. Orwell relates to this philosophy with "the rocket bombs which fell daily on London were probably fired by the Government of Oceania itself, 'just to keep people frightened" (Orwell 153). People who have authority love to throw their weight around to get what they want and make them feel as though they have complete control of the audience. This leads to, more often than not, power struggles amongst the audience and leader. They make feel as though they are just like or that you are special and they are helping you "while at the same time robbing you of all power over the material world" (Orwell 164). They use manipulation to get a better and easier control of
Individuality In 1984 By George Orwell
The definition of an individual is a characteristic that distinguishes a person from others of the same kind. In 1984, by George Orwell, there is a lack of individuality in the citizens due to the control of the government. Since individuality would go against all of Orwell's branches of ministry within the government, steps are taken to avoid it. Although there are singularity that arise within the community, it is fear that puts citizens back into what the government wants. Orwell creates new technologies and new branches of government to keep each citizen in check, and ensure full control of Big Brother.…
1984 Government Analysis
The falling of a society is usually due to elements that the government cannot control. There is one government so far in which all strong qualities are apparent, a society so strong that nothing can take it down; it is a society constructed to warn readers about the dangers of such an indestructible government. In George Orwell's 1984, he has created a society so strong that it will…
Jfk Lord Of The Flies Film Analysis
It is dangerous because everything that the government does affects every single individual. An example of this is how ralph decides that hunting is a bigger priority than being saved, this affected the littluns greatly because now they thought that killing was better than being saved as well. An example from the JFK film is how all the high powers combined together and decided to assassinate JFK, they thought of themselves and didn't care at all about how it would affect the masses of society. Another reason why the way the government views us is dangerous is because they don't care about society and they would do anything for themselves no matter what it takes. An example of this is in the JFK film when Garrison is getting closer to the truth and finding suspects to testify and then they all start to suspiciously die before then can even testify.…
What Are The Similarities Between 1984 And Lord Of The Flies
Unfortunately, though, the citizens of North Korea are forced to live lives that are similar to the citizens in the book 1984. For example, in North Korea, citizens do not have the freedom of speech and will be tortured if they say anything that goes against the government's teachings (Powers). Similarly in the book 1984, the protagonist, Wilton Smith, was tortured for having a diary, in which he shared his anti-party thoughts (Orwell, 57). In both cases, citizens are scared into submission and eventually become indifferent. Furthermore, as the citizens lose interest in living a free and happy life, the government gains further control over them and effectively neutralizes them as a threat to their control.…
Stalin's Rise To Power
Governments should be afraid of their people." (V for Vendetta). This is directly speaking on how people from all over the country would have all the power if they were not afraid to voice their opinions. When the law no longer has the ability to protect the citizen's basic rights, chaos is gradually formed, and in that moment one feels the need to take matters into their own hands. Power alone is the most dangerous form of running a country, which is why dictatorships are all ill-advised in today's world. Power is the highest form of authority and control, when one is in a power position, it can be the most dangerous thing in the world.…
1984 By George Orwell: Novel Analysis
This is a perfect example of how their propaganda can be used in wide scale to brainwash tons of people in small amounts of time. This quote from the book expresses the amount of propaganda use, "we can 't turn it off, we don 't have that privilege" (Orwell 188). This shows how telescreens that watched the people could observe how they acted and thought, so that propaganda could better be distributed to the citizens. North Korea controls their citizens in ways unimaginable to people of the western culture. One of the most invasive ways is completely prohibiting the internet to all citizens.…
Analysis Of Emily Gipson's Video Welcome To Lebanon High School
Especially since it was after school on a public-school campus. I believe she also had the permission of the teacher because how else would she get into the classroom after school hours? I also believe the issues of bullying and suicide are a big deal and need to be treated more seriously. Many students joke about suicide every day as I have noticed from my personal experiences. I also believe the administration punished the girl because they didn't want her to reveal any sadder truths about how awful the administration is at doing their job.…
Synthesis Essay On Bullying In Schools
Too many students experience bullying or are bullied, and that affects them wanting to come to school and also how they act in school. As said in Source D over the past few years at least 37 laws have been made against bullying and although these laws have been passed there have been law suits against schools for millions of dollars because of bullying incidents (source d). Why would there be law suits against schools for bullying if they did something about it? That is the problem, schools do nothing about bullying, and it is treated like a joke. Students every day are bullied by students and around teachers and all they do is say be quiet and forget about everything that was said or happened.…
Why Do Schools Get Strict Punishments
Stricter Punishments for Bullies "For too long, our society has shrugged off bullying by labeling it a 'rite of passage ' and by asking students to simply 'get over it. ' Those attitudes need to change. Every day, students are bullied into silence and are afraid to speak up. Let 's break this silence and end school bullying" (Linda Sanchez). This is stating that schools are letting bullies get away with bullying, and telling the victims that it is normal.…
Brainwashing In 1984 By George Orwell
George Orwell writes about many important issues in his book, 1984. He writes about a future government where many different problems are portrayed dramatically and obviously. The book is about a totalitarian government that has complete control over its citizens, and intrudes on people's privacy, to the point where even thoughts aren't safe. Not only do they invade their thoughts, but they also control them. The government brainwashes their citizens to get them to be unquestioningly loyal the party.…


Sun Prairie Soccer Club takes special pride in the talent and commitment of our volunteer and professional coaches. Take a moment to learn more about our coaching philosophy and our goals for player development. Be sure to meet our Coaching Directors, Michael McIntosh and Charles Lindsey, below. They are responsible for inspiring our coaches to continuously develop themselves and embrace their roles in the lives of our youth.
Andy Albright has coached with SPSC since 2010. Currently he coaches U13B United and serves as the Club's Goalkeeper Academy Director and Webmaster. He currently holds a NCSAA Goalkeeping Level II Diploma and US Soccer Youth E license and is working on his D license. Andy is a second-generation soccer coach and wouldn't be surprised to see any one or more of his three sons keep the tradition going.
Analiese Eicher started coaching with SPSC in the fall of 2014. Analiese holds the USSF National E License, which she obtained in 2015, and is always looking for opportunities to grow as a youth soccer coach. As a coach, Analiese strives to bring out the best in each player, to help them capitalize on the skills they have, build new ones, and build as a team throughout the season. Analiese is happiest on the soccer field where she plays year round with a team of chemists and is almost always seen in pink socks. A left back in her youth career, she has transitioned to goalkeeper in her (not so) old age. Analiese, her boyfriend, and their dog live in Sun Prairie and are proud supporters of 2017 Champions Chelsea Football Club.
"Coaching shouldn't just be about the sport. It is about using the sport to teach kids life lessons and instilling confidence in them and supporting individual growth. My goal at games and practices is to make it fun and enjoyable while still being competitive and helping each child reach their potential. I coach because I love the game and because I'd like to pass that love of the game on to the next generation."
Coach Fosem Ferengo started playing soccer as a young child on the streets of Douala, Cameroon, West Africa. He would play street soccer almost every day of the week. When he wasn't playing soccer, he was watching soccer- both in person and on TV. Soccer in Cameroon is like a religion--Everyone plays! There really is no other sport there. Coach Fosem coached U14 boys in Fort Wayne, Indiana and since moving to Sun Prairie, he has coached both of my boys teams from U6 through U10. He currently have my E coaching license.
Charles currently holds a United States Soccer Federation (USSF) National D license, and a National Youth License through United States Youth Soccer (USYS). He is currently pursuing a National C license, and, along with a few other SPSC coaches, will attend a full weekend of goalkeeper-specific coaches training this summer (2015) offered through the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA). Charles has a strong interest in futsal (an indoor soccer-like game played on a basketball court which really cultivates solid foot skills), and is looking to infuse more futsal and goalkeeper opportunities into our club as we move into the future.
Charles strives to have a style of coaching this is calm, engaging, and supportive. He believes he is helping develop children not just as players, but as people—a role he takes very seriously. Our Club has engaged Charles to take that role as step further and help our coaches build their knowledge and skills. Like many soccer clubs, SPSC has broad range or coaches, from volunteer to professional. Charles helps develop coaches that work with our children in this community and is committed to providing our valuable coaches support and education.
Charles has been instrumental in helping fellow Co-Director of Coaching, Michael McIntosh, organize our Club's curriculum by focusing on four key areas of player development: tactical components, technical components, physical components, and psychosocial components. Each component is essential, and each is connected to and directly affects the other components (regardless of age level). As a club, our training is designed to be developmentally appropriate and include technical (ball control and foot skills) and tactical (playing with purpose and intention) dimensions. With the earlier age groups we spend a great amount of time on developing technical skills, as many tactical skills in soccer are very difficult to execute unless proper technique is established. Physically, we aim to support each child in developing speed, agility, coordination and balance. Psychosocially, our coaches strive to help each child develop positive interactions and to feel a greater sense of confidence and self-esteem within a group. A successful season is truly determined by whether the players enjoyed their time and want to continue playing soccer!
"Helping your children develop is a great honor and I am glad to have the chance to do so with SPSC. A wise man (my dad) once told me, developing passionate and great players is important, but developing passionate and great human beings is even better."
Welcome to Coach Kelsey who will begin her second season with SPSC coaching and mentoring the U11 girls. Her soccer career started at the age of 6 and she has played on competitive teams ever since, including a 2nd place finish at the Wisconsin Girls' State High School Championship, club soccer at UW-Madison and a semi-pro team out of Milwaukee. Although she may not be as fast as she once was, she continues to try her best, playing with a local team in Madison, where she lives with her husband Kyle and lovable chocolate Labrador, Colt. Coach Kelsey works as an attorney for the State Public Defender and her husband teaches math in Oregon.
Coach Kelsey has coached all ages of youth to the high school level. Kelsey holds a United States Soccer Federation (USSF) E license plans to continue to a D license in the near future.
"My philosophy of coaching involves three main objectives, which if all done well, should lead to successful season. My first objective is communication. Every individual on the team must communicate with each other at all times. This includes the players as well as the coaches. During practices and games, My second objective is determination. I will put in time before the game to put the team in a positive scenario. My third and final objective is teamwork."
Scott just finished his 7th year on the Sun Prairie High School Boys coaching staff. Prior to that he was at DeForest High School on both the boys and girls staffs for 3 years. He has been coaching youth soccer since 2005.
Scott has been around the sport of soccer since the age of 6. He graduated from DeForest High School and received a letter in soccer. He currently works for the Sun Prairie School District.

Vince began playing soccer at age five and played through high school and at Ripon College, where he was a team captain. He played for a total of 39 years before his joints and his wife decided he was better off remaining on the sidelines.
Gabe Riege is long time soccer player and coach. Currently a beloved 5th Grade Teacher at Prairie View Middle School, Gabe is also the Boys Assistant Coach at Sun Prairie High School and a head coach at Sun Prairie Soccer Club.
A US Soccer National D License holder, Gabe's resume includes club experience at LaCrosse Soccer Club (2004-2006), Norski (2012) and Waunakee Soccer Club (2013-2017) as well as Boys and Girls High School Coaching tenures at Central High School in La Crosse (2005-2007), Deerfield/Cambridge High School (2009-2010) and Waunakee High School (2012-2016), where Waunakee's MAYSA Hall of Fame coach, Jesus Torres, described Gabe as, "hands down, the best!" and said he nearly "cried" when he heard Gabe had decided to coach in Sun Prairie.
Gabe played his college soccer at Viterbo University. He has three wonderful children, a great wife and a dog named Alice.


Here is another afternoons worth of progress on my eagles project. As you can see, I take a lot of time when I do a drawing for a large piece of art. Yes, I am slow and methodical. And yes, I am going to charge a lot of money for the finished art. I recently overheard an artist telling a prospective client that they work very fast, and can do several paintings a day. This artist also told the client that they sell every thing they paint. I was a bit put off by these comments....I wonder if Da Vinci or Michelangelo would have been put off also? I understand that they took years to complete some of their greatest artworks. I do know this, for me, artmaking is enjoyable and I don't want the process to be fast, I want to savor it. I want my art to be the very best that it can possibly be, even if I have to start it over several times to get it right. I also, could care less if I sell every piece I paint, and I will not sell my artworks for ridiculously low prices, just to make a sale. This is called Integrity.
Today's progress. I noticed immediately after posting the previous days work, that the two branches in the upper left were very small and frail looking which made me feel the whole thing was too delicate and not stout enough to hold an eagle's nest. I have increased their thickness and now it reads as a very substantial tree. The entire time I worked on the branches and nest sticks, I am keenly aware of where my lightsource is coming from. I am trying to keep shadows running in the correct direction. It really helps that I have some very good reference photos of the nest and birds. I can draw without worry, since the lightsource is the same throughout the references.
I started this drawing of eagles, 24" x 30", and this is about two days of work. Its on a tan toned paper and I did not realize just how intricate and tedious my idea was. But, I am thoroughly engrossed in this project and loving every second.
Willa is now about 5 months old and a month with us. She is total energy, chaos, and fun.

Life sometimes makes me anxious.
I'm sure it makes everyone anxious. But the one place I feel content, free and at peace is in, on or by the sea. I wish Mum was still alive so that I could ask her how old I was when I was introduced to the sea.
This year is flying and sometimes I just want to grab it and say slow down. Other times, I grab it by the shirt tails and hold on for my life!
Thankfully, writing is not just sitting in draughty garrets with guttering candles and quills worn to stubs and ideas fluttering to the floor like so much rubbish.


Yayoi Kusama is back – and she's looking at infinity again in her latest art exhibition.

Composed of 1500 mirrored orbs, this installation has been touring the world on and off for over 50 years. Perfect for art lovers and narcissists alike! It'll be in place from September 26th, and if you time it right, you can do both works in a day. Kusama will also contribute a permanent installation to Liverpool Street station as part of the Crossrail Art programme, so London definitely hasn't seen the last of her yet.

Doctor Who & The Question of the Good Dalek
[Spoilers for "Into The Dalek", the second episode of Season Eight.]
"A Dalek so damaged it's turned good," the Doctor says. And so begins the latest episode of Doctor Who to attempt something more interesting with the Doctor's archenemies than the just usual exterminations. This time it's a double-dose of the unexpected: not only is Rusty a "good" Dalek, but the Doctor is going to head inside the alien's metal shell, all tiny and shrunk, Fantastic Voyage-like.
But as we begin the episode, there's actually precious little evidence that Rusty is all that good. He hasn't exactly joined Oxfam or anything. He hasn't gone to medical school so he can cure AIDS. He hasn't expressed even the faintest hint of any love for anyone at all. In fact, he's still full of genocidal rage. The Doctor just thinks he's good because all that rage has been turned against the Daleks. In the Doctor's never-ending war against the evil salt shakers, Rusty is on the Doctor's side. On the side of the good guys.
And that, of course, is too often how people see things during violent conflicts: the good guys are the good guys because they kill bad guys. But it's not that simple — unless you're George W. Bush or Joseph McCarthy. That kind of thinking has led to some of the most shameful moments in the history of the democratic world. We're not the good guys because we don't torture. We're the good guys because we torture the right people. We torture bad guys to save good guys.
On the Doctor's darkest days, he too is vulnerable to that kind of thinking. In fact, in this episode we learn that it has been a central part of his concept of himself ever since he went to the Dalek home world all the way back in the second Doctor Who story ever. "I met you lot," he tells Rusty, "and I understood who I was. Who I had to be. I was not you. The Doctor was not the Daleks." He has spent 2000 years believing that his opposition to the Daleks makes him who he is.
And we already know that the Doctor's opposition to the Daleks tends to manifest itself in a genocidal rage. It's no surprise that Rusty finds a wealth of hatred in the Doctor's hearts. The Fourth Doctor seriously considered wiping out the entire species. The Seventh Doctor blew up their sun. The War Doctor planned to destroy them all. And when it turned out that a few had escaped, the Meta-Crisis Tenth Doctor — with help from Dalek Caan, another Dalek turned "good" — gave it another go. Even as recently as the 50th Anniversary Special, when the three Doctors teamed up to save Gallifrey from the Time War, they did nothing to undo their genocide of the Daleks. They chose to do it again. After all, Daleks are irreversibly evil.
Except now, maybe they're not. Rusty, with his capacity for change, shakes the Doctor's identity to the core. If his belief in his own goodness is deeply linked to the killing of Daleks, what does it mean if Daleks aren't always necessarily pure evil? No wonder the Doctor's first reaction to being confronted with Rusty is to go find Clara and ask her if he's a good man. No wonder he's not sure of the answer himself. No wonder he wants his companion along for this particular mission. And no wonder he's so eager to believe that Rusty's post-radiation return to murder-as-usual proves that Daleks are irreversibly evil after all. As Clara points out, if Rusty is evil it means, "Everything makes sense. The Doctor is right." But more than that, it would also mean that the Doctor is good. Not just this time, but ever since the beginning. It would mean that he doesn't have to question 2000 years of his own prejudice and genocidal hatred.
But he should be questioning them. Everyone should always be questioning their own prejudices. Even more so when you're a quasi-immortal Time Lord with a temper who makes life and death decisions all the time. In fact, the act of questioning yourself is a vital part of being a good person. Or even a good society for that matter: democracy is, in a way, an endless stream of questions asked in parliaments, in elections, in debates, in public inquiries, by ombudsmen and by the media... The Daleks don't question; they unquestioningly follow their orders like soldiers are supposed to — the Doctor hints at that while getting Journey Blue to question hers. That's why the Doctor needs Clara, after all, why he always needs a companion: to be "the asking questions one." Questions not just about the plot so the audience can understand what's happening. But questions about what the Doctor is doing. Whether it's good. Whether he is, in fact, being a good man. And so, the question "Doctor who?" isn't just a mystery to be solved some day. It's a continual process. A blueprint even. A guide to being good. Choosing to have a companion there to keep asking that question means the Doctor is — at the very least — pointing in the right direction. He is trying to be good. And as Clara tells him at the end of this episode, "I think that's probably the point."
Because, as we can see with Rusty, unquestioning hatred of the Daleks doesn't make you a good man.
It makes you a good Dalek.
Other thoughts:
- Rusty clearly needs a human companion
- Of course, Doctor Who has also never argued that it's as simple as believing the opposite of all this, either: that killing bad guys automatically turns you into a bad guy. And it looks like something along these lines might be a big theme this season. With the solider Danny Pink being a recurring character — and with Missy, who might be collecting characters the Doctor has sacrificed/convinced to sacrifice themselves. Plus, as was pointed out on the Verity! podcast this week, twelve episodes might potentially mean twelve dead characters in heaven by the end of the season. Twelve jurors?
- Pink and Blue? It is that just part of the metaphorical mirroring all over this episode? Or are going to learn more? Maybe, with it, more about the Combined Galactic Resistance? Could Danny Pink be a veteran of a interstellar war?
- I love the way the Twelfth Doctor has been casually flipping the lever the TARDIS — a stark contrast to the manic flourishes of the Eleventh.
- Fun callback to classic Who, when the Doctor says Clara is "not my assistant, some other word." The companions used to be called assistants. Between that and wanting more round things on the way of the TARDIS, the Twelfth Doctor seems to have a bit nostalgia for the old series.
- Mark Rozeman points out in Paste: "one of The Dalek's initial phrases back in their '60s iteration was 'resistance is useless,' which was later re-purposed by Star Trek's The Borg as 'resistance is futile' in the '80s; The Dalek uses the 'futile' line… which can't help but feel like a betrayal..."
- Dan Martin points out in The Guardian: "Production geeks will notice a lot of co-writer credits this year, something we've not seen before. At first I wondered whether this was Moffat getting exasperated at rewriting everybody's scripts. But it looks as if he's writing Clara and Danny's love story on his own and weaving that into other people's adventures. That stuff is very Coupling."
- He also points out that "in the Dalek's memory bank is a sequence from 2008's Journey's End. So Rusty was in that battle."
- "The Daleks are exterminated." "Of course they are. That's what you do, isn't it?" Uh, kinda what you do too, Doctor.
- "Ah, you shoot people and then cry about it afterwards." Helloooooo Tenth Doctor.
- Lots of echoes, of course, to the episode "Dalek" from the very first season of the reboot. Including the Doctor being told by the Dalek that he "would make a good Dalek."

The ePrivacy Regulation: The Next European Initiative in Data Protection
Dr. Viola Bensinger Carsten Kociok Willeke Kemkers
Amsterdam Germany ¬
While many are still digesting the changes brought about by the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), a new privacy regulation is already on its way. The Regulation Concerning the Respect for Private Life and the Protection of Personal Data in Electronic Communications – in short, the ePrivacy Regulation – is currently a draft under discussion (the latest version by the EU Council was published on 13 March 2019).
Relationship Between the ePrivacy Regulation and the GDPR
Unlike the GDPR, the draft ePrivacy Regulation focuses on privacy with respect to electronic communication services and on the data processed by electronic communication services. This means that in relation to such communication services, the ePrivacy Regulation provides the specific obligations that flesh out the more general provisions of the GDPR. The draft ePrivacy Regulation covers more than just data protection law; it also relates to non-personal data, such as metadata. Lastly, the draft ePrivacy Regulation contains provisions on telecommunication confidentiality.
The draft ePrivacy Regulation is meant to update and replace the current ePrivacy Directive, which, together with the GDPR, provides the current legal framework to ensure digital privacy for EU citizens. By changing from a directive to a regulation, the new rules will apply directly in all EU member states, and implementation into national laws will no longer be required. This promises a uniform set of rules in all member states. However, as GDPR has shown, this probably sounds easier than it will be in practice.
In a nutshell, the main points of the draft ePrivacy Regulation include:
While the existing ePrivacy Directive applies to emails and text messages (SMS), the new ePrivacy Regulation aims to also catch data created or processed by the newest forms of electronic communication, such as machine-to-machine communication (Internet of Things), internet telephony, and internet access provider services.
The draft ePrivacy Regulation scope extends to more than just personal data – it covers certain non-personal data such as metadata. Not only does this further increase the compliance obligations for enterprises, it may also challenge data analytics schemes dealing with anonymized or aggregated data instead of personalized data, developed to allow big data business models.
While many concepts of when and how data may be processed may essentially stay the same, the draft ePrivacy Regulation introduces new, additional obligations requiring enterprises to adapt their compliance systems. For example, Article 7 of the draft ePrivacy Regulation requires that enterprises delete electronic communications data after its receipt by the intended recipient. Such obligation is new in many member states and would require operators to implement certain technical measures. It also raises questions about the ability to pursue certain communications, for example in relation to illegal content.
The draft ePrivacy Regulation provides a clear, albeit more restrictive, legal framework for the use of cookies and similar tools that collect data from end-users' equipment (e.g., mobile phones and laptops). The use of cookies will require that such cookies are necessary for the transmission or the security of the electronic communication service, or that the end-user has given consent. Previous drafts of the regulation contained several different ways in which such consent could be given. The most recent draft refers to giving consent to providers via white lists.
The new draft ePrivacy Regulation has been approved by the EU Council. After the May 2019 European Parliament elections, negotiations on the regulation between the Council and the European Parliament will start. The ePrivacy Regulation will likely not enter into force before 2021, given it covers many different subjects (i.e., metadata, cookies, and telecommunications confidentiality).

Please be aware that the Electoral Registration Officer and the Returning Officer for Tendring have separate privacy notices.
We have to tell you what processing of your personal information we will carry out and this privacy notice explains how we use your information.
We have a Data Protection Officer to ensure that we respect your rights and follow the law. It is important that the personal data we hold about you is accurate and current. Please keep us informed if your personal data changes during your relationship with us.
The Council does not transfer your personal data outside the European Economic Area (EEA).
Personal information (or Personal Data) can be anything that identifies and relates to a living person (natural persons). For example, your name and contact details.
Click here to view the Council's policy statement regarding how we will protect Special Category and criminal convictions personal data.
Detailed information can be found in the service privacy notices available further down the page.
There are a number of legal obligations why we need to collect and use your personal information.
Each service privacy notice explains which legal reason is being used. These are available further down this page.
If you wish to exercise this right, please contact DPAOfficer@tendringdc.gov.uk or 01255 686060 and tell us which service you're using so we can deal with your request.
Encryption, meaning that information is hidden so that it cannot be read without special knowledge (such as a password). This is done with a secret code or what's called a 'cypher'. The hidden information is said to then be 'encrypted'.
Pseudonymisation, meaning that we'll use a different name so we can hide parts of your personal information from view. This means that someone outside of the Council could work on your information for us without ever knowing it was yours.
Controlling access to systems and networks means we can prevent people who are not allowed to view your personal information accessing it.
Protecting your data through the use of relevant IT security controls. We have a range of IT security measures in place to help protect your data from viruses, malware, ransomware, intrusion, loss, theft and other risks.
Classification of data. The data you provide to us is classified dependent on its content which enables us to apply appropriate controls.
Conducting privacy impact assessments (PIA) to ensure end-to-end protection when necessary.
Training our staff enables us to make them aware of how to correctly handle information and how and when to report if something goes wrong.
Regular testing of our technology and ways of working to ensure they remain suitable; including keeping up to date with the latest security updates (commonly called patches).
The Council only collects and uses personal information where it is needed to deliver a service or to meet a legal obligation and may be shared for the same reasons.
Where it is necessary for us to share your information this will be done in a secure way which has been subjected to a privacy impact assessment (PIA). Where other organisations process your information on our behalf, this is carried out under contract and an information sharing agreement will be in place between the organisations involved.
You can ask the Council (or any organisation) for a copy of the personal information it holds or processes relating to you. We should provide the information within 1 month. If there is a great deal of information or it is difficult to identify and retrieve then we can apply a time extension and let you know.
Everyone is entitled to have their own personal data rectified / changed if it is inaccurate or incomplete. If an organisation has shared the personal data in question with anyone then it must also take all reasonable steps to inform them of the change. You will be asked to provide evidence of your identity and the correction so that the organisation can ensure your privacy rights are protected.
The right to erasure can sometimes be referred to as 'the right to be forgotten'. However this is not an absolute right. You can only request the deletion or removal of personal data where there is no compelling reason for an organisation to keep it. Where the organisation has a statutory obligation or a legally justifiable reason to keep the information they must let you know.
In some circumstances you have a right to restrict what processing an organisation carries out or ask that they stop processing your personal data. When processing is restricted, the organisation may continue to store your data but not to process it further. However this right cannot overrule any legal obligation placed on the organisation to continue processing your personal information.
Following a request for disclosure of your data, you have the right to ask for your information in a digital format so that you can reuse it for other purposes. For example, data portability could be used to upload your information to a third party price comparison website to compare and identify best value for something like utilities or mobile phone use. It is unlikely that data portability will apply to most of the services you receive from the Council.
Everyone has the right to object to the processing of their data in limited circumstances.
However you can only object based on "grounds relating to your particular situation". For example you may need to maintain a higher level of security due to the type of job you have. In these situations an organisation must stop processing your personal data unless it can demonstrate compelling grounds for the processing, which override your interests, rights and freedoms or where processing is for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
You have a right to request that decisions based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which may produce a legal effect or affect them significantly, to have some form of human input so they are not automatically generated by a computer.
This right is in place to ensure that potentially damaging decisions are not taken without some form of human intervention. This right also applies to 'profiling'.
Organisations are required to ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your rights, freedoms and legitimate interests and you can ask to have any computer-made decisions explained to you.
We're making it easier for you to find out how and why we process your personal information.
You don't need to do anything. This privacy notice will provide you with more information about how we process your information.
All requests for access to personal information must be made by the person to whom the information relates or their authorised representative. This is known as a Subject Access Request. Requests must include sufficient information to clearly identify you so that we don't provide your information to someone attempting to impersonate you. For example, your full name, address, other contact details we may record, a copy of your driving license, a utility bill, etc. In this way we can ensure your privacy rights continue to be protected.
If you wish to authorise someone to act on your behalf – this could be another individual or an organisation, such as your legal representative or Citizens Advice, it is important that you make your wishes clear and provide a form of authority to them so that we know they are acting under your instruction.
If you need to make a complaint about how your personal information is being used by the Council, please provide as much information as possible so that we can conduct an investigation.
If you need to request a restriction in the use of your information, please provide as much information as possible so that we can consider your request.

Germany May Be Reunited, But German Shepherd Bloodlines Aren't
AP Photo/Franka Bruns
West German shepherd Fjandi stands on the grounds of the German Shepherd Breeders Association in Berlin, Monday, Oct. 1, 2007. As the country celebrates 17 years of reunification on Wednesday, some animosities between the formerly communist East and capitalist West remain and few are as doggedly contested as the fight over whose shepherds are superior.
You'd think they were talking about the North American/European German Shepherd bloodline split: "Our dogs are healthier and have a better personality," Gerlinde Schultze, a 20-year breeder of East German lines, told the Associated Press on Wednesday. "Those overbred shepherds in the West are merely about good looks."
Breeders of West German lines, of course, disagree. Such a rift is not unusual to most breeds in the dog fancy, but whether because of its popularity or in spite of it, the German Shepherd has evolved into several "types," or looks, each preferred by its promoter. Besides the obvious North American and European division and the recent news-making East-West German split, there are strict enthusiasts of overall show or working lines, Belgian lines, Czech lines, British lines and Scandinavian lines; not to mention the long, dilute and white coated dogs, eschewed by most German Shepherd breed standards.
And it turns out, such enthusiasm can devolve into outright ignorance. American Kennel Club spokeswoman Lisa Peterson told the Associated Press for the same story, "In the U.S., there's only one standard and one breed of German shepherd dogs."
Perhaps she's conveniently forgotten about United Schutzhund Clubs of America, which is dedicated to breeding German Shepherds according to the SV (German), not AKC, standard. And how many working police and military dogs are AKC bloodlines? And German breeders on both sides of that country are laughing all the way to the bank as they continue to export hundreds of their dogs to North America each year.
Clearly, there is no single standard to which all German Shepherd enthusiasts will agree. But the founder of the breed, Captain Max von Stephanitz, did have at least one ideal in mind by which he determined future dogs could be measured:
"The shepherd dog is a working dog; he was born so, and only as such can he remain a 'shepherd dog'; the dog which we value and love. His abundance of joy in life must be used and he must be allowed to work even when kept by an amateur."
— von Stephanitz
The relative newness of the breed may also contribute to its current fractured status. Until after World War II, the German Shepherd was used primarily as a working dog — herding and guarding flocks, and most certainly during both world wars as a sentry and messenger dog.
Most breeders in the U.S. who follow the German, or international, breeding standard use a combination of European lines to breed what they hope will be a better dog. But as many buyers continue to clamor for "original" German lines, the furor over breed type is not likely to die down anytime soon.

Researching the Law of the Spanish Autonomous Communities: Getting Started
Spain is divided into fifty provinces and seventeen Autonomous Communities. There are also two autonomous cities in north Africa: Ceuta and Melilla. For a map delineating Spain's administrative boundaries, see the Nations Online Project's "Administrative Map of Spain."
This guide focuses on the legal regimes of the Autonomous Communities, as well as their complex relationship with the Spanish state. Emphasis is on materials available in English, although Spanish-language materials are also included.
Articles 143 through 152 of the 1978 Spanish Constitution address the formation and powers of the Autonomous Communities. Articles 143 and 151 specifically describe the procedures by which Autonomous Communities may be formed. These procedures include the creation of Statutes of Autonomy, which reserve certain devolved powers for each community. Article 148 lists the powers that Autonomous Communities may possess, while Article 149 lists the competencies that remain exclusive to the Spanish state. Conflicts involving the extent of national and community powers are taken up by Spain's Constitutional Court, as evidenced most recently by the clashes between Spain's national government and the government of Catalonia.
Note that locating, and also interpreting, sources of foreign law can be extremely challenging, even for seasoned legal researchers. Keep in mind that, when approaching a question related to foreign law generally, it is often advantageous to start with a secondary source. There are a number of useful print sources and online guides in English that can serve as introductions to understanding and researching the complexities of Spanish law. Some of these resources are listed at right, and others are listed under the "Books," "Databases," and "Web Resources" tabs.
Online Guides to Spanish Law and the Law of the Autonomous Communities
There are several electronic research and informational guides for topics related to the law of Spain and the Spanish Autonomous Communities. These are primarily hosted on academic library sites.
Autonomous Communities of Spain (Wikipedia)
Catalan Studies (University of Illinois Libraries)
Law of Spain (Wikipedia)
Political Divisions of Spain (Wikipedia)
Provinces of Spain (Wikipedia)

"Spain is a Collection of Glued Regions. Or Maybe Not So Glued"
Megan Specia, Rick Gladstone, and Raphael Minder. "Spain is a Collection of Glued Regions. Or Maybe Not So Glued." New York Times (Oct. 29, 2017).
This article from the NYT, in Q & A format, provides a good overview of Spain's administrative structure.
Understanding Civil Law
James G. Apple and Robert P. Deyling, "A Primer on the Civil-Law System" (Federal Judicial Center, 1995)
Spain follows the civil law tradition. Civil law, which has its roots in Roman law, features reliance on codified law, rather than precedential case law. An excellent introduction to the civil law tradition is noted above. Other books on civil law may be located using the LUC Library Catalog (see the "Books" tab for more info).
Online Translators
English-language translations of foreign legal materials are often difficult to locate and can be unreliable. Only in rare instances are authoritative English-language translations available. If authoritative versions are not available, look for "official" translations that are created by, or for, a government organization. Further, look for synoptic translations, which allow for side-by-side comparisons of the vernacular with the English-language translation. Some types of foreign legal materials are translated into English more often than others, such as those pertaining to commercial law.
Many online translators are available on the WWW, but these should be used with caution since web translators do not generally include specialized legal or commercial vocabulary. Online translators, however, may be of some help in getting the general sense of a document or passage.
WWW translators:
Will recognize and translate from English to Spanish, Catalán, Galician, and Basque (and vice versa).
Linguee matches sentences already translated on the WWW.

Bei den Bayerischen CL Bay 11a bzw. CL Bay 14a handelte es sich um Durchgangswagen für den Lokalbahnverkehr. Sie wurden im Wagenstandsverzeichnis der Königlich Bayerischen Staatseisenbahnen (K.Bay.Sts.B.) von 1913 unter der Blatt-Nr. 554 bzw. für den CL Bay 14II im Skizzenheft der DR unter der Blatt-Nr. 6056.3 geführt.

Entwicklung
Mit dem größer werdenden Streckennetz an Lokalbahnen einher ging der Bedarf an passenden Wagen für den lokalen Personen-Nahverkehr. Zwischen 1909 und 1929 wurden Wagen beschafft, die schon Merkmale der normalen Personenwagen für Vollbahnen aufwiesen. Im Unterschied zu anderen Lokalbahnwagen waren diese für den Militärtransport geeignet.

Beschaffung
Insgesamt wurden in dem Zeitraum zwischen 1909 und 1929 411 Wagen in den Gattungen BL, BCL, CL, DL und PPostL beschafft. Diese hatten alle einen einheitlichen Grundriss, offene Endplattformen mit Dixi-Gittern an den Aufstiegen und nur durch Bügel gesicherte Personalübergänge. Statt den bis dato gebräuchlichen Verbundfenstern wurden große Scheiben eingebaut. Von den Wagen nach Blatt 554 wurden zwischen 1911 und 1914 in insgesamt fünf Beschaffungslosen 36 Wagen bei den Firmen MAN in Nürnberg und Rathgeber in München beschafft.

Verbleib
Der Verbleib von drei Wagen konnte nach Kriegsende 1945 nicht mehr geklärt werden. Von den gelieferten Fahrzeugen kamen die übrigen zur Deutschen Bundesbahn, wo sie bis 1962 ausgemustert wurden.

Konstruktive Merkmale

Untergestell
Der Rahmen der Wagen war komplett aus Profileisen aufgebaut und genietet. Die äußeren Längsträger hatten U-Form mit nach außen gerichteten Flanschen. Die Querträger waren ebenfalls aus U-Profilen und nicht gekröpft. Als Zugeinrichtung hatten die Wagen Schraubenkupplungen nach VDEV. Die Zugstange war durchgehend und mittig gefedert. Als Stoßeinrichtung besaßen die Wagen geschlitzte Korbpuffer mit einer Einbaulänge von 650 Millimetern, die Pufferteller hatten einen Durchmesser von 370 Millimetern. Für die Wagen nach Blatt 6056.3 wurde die Plattform verkürzt, so dass sich eine geringere LüP ergab.

Laufwerk
Die Wagen hatten genietete Fachwerkachshalter der Verbandsbauart. Gelagert waren die Achsen in Gleitachslagern. Die Räder hatten Speichenradkörper. Wegen des langen Radstandes von 6.000/6.600 Millimetern kamen Vereinslenkachsen zum Einsatz.

Neben einer Handspindelbremse, welche sich auf einer der Plattformen am Wagenende befand, hatten die Wagen auch Druckluftbremsen des Systems Westinghouse.

Wagenkasten
Der Rahmen des Wagenkastens bestand aus hölzernen Ständerwerk. Dies war außen mit Blechen und innen mit Holz verkleidet. Die Stöße der Bleche wurden durch Deckleisten abgedeckt. Das Dach war flach gerundet und über die offenen Endplattformen hinausgezogen. Die Wagen besaßen Auftritte in der Bauart der Vollbahnwagen und nicht mehr die klappbaren Lokalbahnauftritte.

Ausstattung
Der Wagentyp führte ausschließlich die 3. Klasse und hatte insgesamt 56 Sitzplätze und einen Abort. Das Abteil gegenüber dem Abort war mit einer verschließbaren Türe zum Mittelgang abgetrennt und diente als Schubabteil für Gefangenentransporte. Alternativ wurde es als Dienstabteil genutzt. Für die beiden Endplattformen waren insgesamt 20 Stehplätze ausgewiesen. Bei den Wagen nach Blatt 6056.3 wurden die Endplattformen von 1.000 mm auf 900 mm verkürzt.

Die Beleuchtung erfolgte durch Petroleumlampen. Die Beheizung erfolgte über Dampf. Belüftet wurden die Wagen durch statische Dachlüfter sowie durch versenkbare Fenster.

LG G Pro 2 Lite Bound for Verizon (LG-VS880) Passes Through FCC
Kyle May 22, 2014 26
The last we heard of LG's mid-range G Pro Lite smartphone was at a foreign launch event in December. Despite LG's silence on the G Pro Lite's sales performance thus far, the phone must have sold well enough to justify a follow-up. Thanks to a leak, it appears the company is expanding the reach of the phone's successor, the G Pro 2 Lite, to American shores.
Recently filed FCC documents point to a variant with model number LG-VS880, compatible with Verizon's LTE bands and CDMA network. The AT&T (LG-D631) version was spotted on LG's website several weeks ago, and a Sprint (LG-LS885) model was accidentally posted on the carrier's website in March before promptly being removed.
The phone carries the "lite" designation for a reason. Rumored specifications of the G Pro 2 Lite include a 5.7-inch 720p display, an 8MP rear camera, 1GB of RAM, and 8GB of internal storage. Needless to say, the phone is not going to break benchmark records anytime soon.
There is one exception to the middling components; a 3200 mAh capacity battery. Considering the low power draw of the Snapdragon 400 and 720p display, that would provide hours upon hours of charge, should the rumors prove accurate.
No clue as to when LG plans to launch these devices, but when more information pops up, we will be there.
