Lionel Lockridge is at the beginning of Santa Barbara presented above all as C.C. Capwell's sworn enemy. Except that he turns out as original and fanciful as C.C. is authoritarian and manipulator. The two families are indeed rival since generations and these last years, the Lockridges lost much of their fortune to the Capwells's profit. The couple that Lionel forms with Augusta perdure in spite of Lionel's many business trips, real explorer of lost regions of Africa and Asia and also real womanizer. He was in particular formerly the lover of Sophia Wayne, who preferred C.C.. It is besides during a trip on his private yacht that she fell in the sea at the end of the 1960s.
The earthquake which strikes the town in 1984 is the occasion for Lionel to show himself honest and sincere towards Augusta. He confesse to her his past infidelities, tells her the circumstances of Sophia's presumed death and above all reassures her as for an eventual affair she suspects him to have with Eden Capwell, Sophia and C.C.'s daughter. But the return in town of Sophia, whom everybody considered dead, creates new tensions in the couple. Lionel has to face regularly Augusta's fits of jealousy, convinced that he resumed his love-affair with his former mistress. Between baths of champagne and "circles of truth" drawn on the floor and in which they owe frankness to each other, Lionel tries to reassure Augusta of his love for her and his loyalty. When Augusta loses eyesight following the collapse of the tunnel between the Capwell and Lockridge mansions, Lionel hires milkman Frank Armsted to seduce Augusta, without risking that she leaves him. The ploy continues until Augusta finds the sight back and sets Lionel in his trap.
In summer 1985, Lionel learns that Channing Capwell Junior, Sophia's elder son, is in fact his son, and not C.C.'s. He gets then closer to Brandon, the son of Channing Junior and Santana Andrade, and thus his grandson. A new link between Lionel and Sophia that Augusta has difficulty in accepting. But the shock comes at the very beginning of 1986, when he learns that Minx, his mother, possessive and devoid of scruples, exchanged at birth the son whom he had with Sophia. So, Lionel finds himself with a new son well alive this time, which turns out to be Brick Wallace, the family chauffeur. Of a generous nature, Lionel treats Brick as his son, in the same way as Warren and Laken, his two other children that he loves and supports most than anything.
But the misfortunes fall on Lionel during the year : Augusta leaves him definitively by demanding the divorce and Lionel is obliged to fork over up to the last cent of his fortune to pay off the gambling debts which Warren contracted to the Capwell casino.
The time of new relations comes then. Lionel meets student Jane Wilson, who tries to seduce him, but he prefers her mother, Caroline Wilson, with whom he falls in love. He makes her settle down in the Lockridge villa, and welcomes with her Jane and her hidden daughter, Alice Jackson. Laken and Warren, after a first departure far from Santa Barbara, come back to temporarily live in this very populated family place in this year of 1987. Convinced that Augusta will never return, Lionel decides to marry Caroline, but this latter dies a little time after due to a rare and incurable disease, in spite of the serum stolen by Lionel from Dr. Alex Nikolas. All his children having left the city, Lionel thus ends up alone and leaves to recharge his batteries far from Santa Barbara.
He returns two years later, after having made everyone believe his death in a car accident in Singapore. He gets closer to Augusta, who came back living in Santa Barbara with Laken, and who is at first the only one to know about his "resurrection". Because Lionel fakes death for a plan : to get back in the Capwell tunnel valuable paintings of which he had sold copies to C.C.. What he ignores, it is that Gina Capwell and her mother Phyllis began the same work and also exchange copies and originals. So, without knowing it, it is copies that Lionel sells to an Asian buyer. When the buyer realizes that he was deceived, he makes Augusta kidnap, and Lionel has to sell on the Lockridge mansion to C.C. to pay the ransom.
Meanwhile, Minx is also back in Santa Barbara and tells Lionel that he has a sister in the person of Cassandra Benedict. Lionel gets on with her, even if he is shocked to learn that she had an affair with his son Warren in Bangkok, when she still ignored that she was related to him. Forced to see Augusta leaving in a detoxification center to solve her alcoholism problems, Lionel ends up alone to deal with Warren's anger when he discovers that he is not his son, but the fruit of Augusta's adulterous affair. He risks a short time later to die having eaten some poisoned soup which Cassandra intended to her rival, Angela Raymond. At the point of death, he is joined by Warren, who forgives him for having hidden the truth from him for so long.
Recovered and amused to deceive C.C. Capwell, Lionel becomes allied to Gina, to whom he suggests to marry him and to raise with her Channing III, C.C.'s son. The wedding takes place almost without their knowledge, during a theater performance in the Oasis, while they think of interpreting the characters of a Shakespeare's play without knowing that one of the comedians is in fact a real priest. Their mutual attraction and their whim conjugate then to perfection. Lionel and Gina end the show together, with certainly some moments of madness, but which suit perfectly to the zany and terribly likeable character of Lionel...

Mexican GP 2017
Practice 3 Report - Max Record
© RV Press
By Dan Knutson in Mexico City
Max Verstappen set a new albeit unofficial lap record at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez when he clocked time of 1:17.113 in his Red Bull. He narrowly beat out Lewis Hamilton who was 0.075 of a second slower I his Mercedes.
The lineup for the weekend was: Mercedes - Hamilton and Valtteri Bottas; Red Bull TAG Heuer - Daniel Ricciardo and Verstappen; Ferrari - Sebastian Vettel and Kimi Raikkonen; Force India Mercedes - Sergio Perez and Esteban Ocon; Williams Mercedes - Felipe Massa and Lance Stroll; McLaren Honda - Fernando Alonso and Stoffel Vandoorne; Renault - Nico Hulkenberg and Carlos Sainz; Toro Rosso Renault - Pierre Gasly and Brendon Hartley; Haas Ferrari - Romain Grosjean and Kevin Magnussen; Sauber Ferrari - Marcus Ericsson and Pascal Wehrlein.
Ricciardo set the fastest time on Friday, a 1:17.801 on the ultra soft Pirelli tires. The other compounds available were the super soft and soft slicks.
"I still feel we can improve a bit," he said after FP2, "and we know Mercedes always find more on a Saturday when it counts. I think we still need to find a few tenths to stay in the fight, but we will work on that tonight. It's nice not having to change much on the car because we don't seem too far off.
"It's always tricky here with the low grip and it's very easy to make mistakes which you could see today with all the spins."
Wehrlein and Ericsson were the first out in FP3 on a cool, sunny morning.
The ambient temperature at the start of the 60-minute session was 55 degrees Fahrenheit (13 degrees Centigrade) and the track temperature was 79 degrees Fahrenheit (26 degrees Centigrade). There was zero percent chance of rain.
Gasly was in trouble early as he went off at Turn 13 and stopped.
"Engine problem," he radioed, adding that he had lost power. The team gave him a set of instructions to try an restart the engine to no avail.
This created an extended yellow flag zone in the area so most drivers stayed in the pits until the car was removed by the marshals.
Raikkonen set the early pace with a lap of 1:18.925 on the super soft tires.
Meanwhile, 15 minutes into the session, the Red Bull and Mercedes drivers had yet to do a lap. When they did get going, Hamilton used the ultras to clock a 1:18.081. Verstappen, on the super softs, was just 0.133 of a second slower.
But then Bottas, using the ultras, eclipsed them both with his time of 1:17.963 followed by a 1:17.681 and a 1:17.537. A series of new (unofficial) track records. Hamilton improved to a 1:17.954 and then a 1:17.835.
Verstappen, Vettel, Sainz and Perez rounded out the top six.
The session has nearly half over before Ricciardo finally made an appearance. He did a series of laps on the super soft Pirellis and soon moved up to fourth place.
Some 20 minutes remained when the drivers began doing their qualifying simulations on the ultra soft tires. Vettel climbed to first with a 1:17.230, beating Bottas; 1:17.496. Raikkonen moved into third.
Then Verstappen had his first run on the ultras and posted a 1:17.223. Ricciardo's ultra lap yielded a 1:17.361 while Verstappen improved to a 1:17.113.
The order with 13 minutes remaining was Verstappen, Vettel, Bottas, Ricciardo, Raikkonen, Hamilton, Ocon and Sainz. Moments later Hamilton moved into second with a 1:17.188.
Verstappen remained the fastest as the session wound down. The final order of the top 10 was: Verstappen, Hamilton, Vettel, Bottas, Ricciardo, Raikkonen, Perez, Ocon, Sainz and Hulkenberg.

Weekly thoughts from the Rector of Palmer Memorial Episcopal Church in Houston, Texas, where these words remind us that Jesus' peace goes with us into the world.
During the 1970s, one of the daughters of comedian Carol Burnett came to Houston and entered PDAP. Ms. Burnett talked about her daughter's drug addiction openly in print interviews and on The Oprah Winfrey Show. She also mentioned PDAP and details about that struggle in a book that she co-authored with her daughter about their relationship.
PDAP eventually outgrew its space at Palmer. But that story of love continues on the campus of our church through Archway Academy, a high school for teenagers in recovery from drug and alcohol abuse.
I'm pleased to announce that PDAP will hold a reunion at Palmer for its alumni/ae on the first weekend in June. And on Sunday, June 5, there will be a Recovery Eucharist in the church at 3:00 p.m. Alleluia!

The limestone grinding machine, as its name implies, is the grinding equipment for limestone, also known as Raymond mill. The wide application of the grinder mainly reflects the use of lime powder. The more the use of lime powder, the greater the role of natural limestone grinding machine. Here are some details of production with large consumption and excellent results.
Firstly, the application of limestone powder in power plant desulfurization is dominated by thermal power plants in northern China. Among them, harmful gases such as sulfur dioxide and carbon dioxide produced during coal combustion cause serious air pollution.

Here are some details of production with large consumption and excellent results.
Firstly, the application of limestone powder in power plant desulfurization is dominated by thermal power plants in northern China. Among them, harmful gases such as sulfur dioxide and carbon dioxide produced during coal combustion cause serious air pollution. The desulfurization effect of limestone grinding machine is remarkable after grinding limestone into powder. The power plant needs about 200-300 tons per day, and more than 130 grinders are selected for grinding equipment. Calcium oxide is used for desulfurization in furnace and calcium carbonate is used for flue gas desulfurization. Calcium oxide has the best desulfurization effect, but its relative cost is higher.
Secondly, asphalt mixing station is also a project with a large amount of lime powder. Lime powder is added to asphalt to increase the activity of asphalt. In recent years, China's road facilities are constantly improving, which also brings new space for the development of lime powder mill.
Thirdly, the application of lime powder in concrete mixing station is mostly in the south. There are many mountains and rivers in the south, and limestone ores are abundant. Lime powder is used instead of fly ash in concrete to solve the problem of insufficient resources. Especially in Guizhou, Guangxi and Nanyang in southern Henan, limestone ore is very rich.
Fourthly, PUC pipe, waterproof material, cement and other building materials as additives.
Fifthly, in the production process of plastics, coatings and other fillers, the fineness of the fillers is required to be in the range of 10-15 μms. - 10 μm can be used as filler for plastics, rubber and paper making. The fineness of ink filler should be - 5 μm and after activation treatment.

Green Music Australia Launches 'BYO Bottle Festivals and Venues' Campaign
Image Credit: Green Music Australia Facebook
Scarlett Di Maio | April 23, 2019
Last Monday was Earth Day, an annual event marked with worldwide celebrations held to demonstrate united support for environmental protection. This significant occasion was yet another reminder that we need to take urgent action on protecting our environment. Many musicians want to reduce their environmental impact but don't know where to start, so to help Green Music Australia has launched a new campaign called BYO Bottle Festivals and Venues, which aims to reduce or eliminate single use plastic waste in music festivals and venues. Through this campaign, Green Music Australia is working closely with festivals and live music venues to implement sustainable waste solutions and cut unnecessary and environmentally destructive disposable plastic water bottles.
Established in 2013, Green Music Australia is a not-for-profit organisation and registered charity whose role is to organise, facilitate and inspire Australian musicians and the industry to make changes to improve our environmental performance, from energy use to packaging and waste to transport. The organisation poses questions like "What if the music scene went green?" and "What if venues and festivals stopped stocking plastic water bottles and replaced them with filling stations for reusable bottles?" This fantastic organisation provides tools, case studies, encouragement and hands on support, partnering with others across the sector to make these kind of changes happen.
Green Music Australia has lots of easy, practical ideas and resources for the music industry to think about implementing, such making all band merchandise plastic free, organic and fair trade. Their members and supporters come from a broad cross section of society: musicians; artist managers, agents and promoters; environmental consultants; venue and festival managers; music lovers who care about the environment; and environmentalists who love music.
If you would like to find out how you or your music organisation can begin reducing or eliminating plastic waste, head to their website.

Q: iPad 3: how to download retina images in uiwebview I have an hybrid iPad app loading html and javascript in a webview.
All the images are ok in ipads 1 and 2s but fuzzy in ipads 3.
I was thinking about some possible solutions:

*

*Serve 2x images and show them at 50% in low res ipads.

*Detect retina display and serve different images

How would you manage the different resolutions and image loading in different devices?

A: You can use Javascript to swap LowRes images to HiRes images on HiRes devices. There is a JQuery plugin that does that. Apple is using this method (not the JQuery plugin) for its own pages, so it should not be too bad.
You could use another method if you can change your inline <img> to CSS background images. Then you can use media queries to serve HiRes images to HiRes devices:
#yourImageConteainer {
   background-image: url('image.png');
}

@media all and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio : 1.5) {
    #yourImageContainer {
        background-image: url('image@2x.png');
        background-size: 100px 100px;
    }
}

I've named the HiRes image with the iOS @2x suffix, although that is not necessary.
I would not serve full resolution images to LowRes devices as that would increase the size of the images and thus the loading time for LowRes devices without any benefit.
If you can detect HiRes devices on your server side and then serve the best resolution images for the requesting device, that would be the best way IMHO.

A: Don't upscale your images too much for iPad3/New iPad. Safari downscales high res images  http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/ipad-3-benchmark-review,3156-5.html. The only way to see web images at full iPad3 resolution is to save them and view them outside of Safari.
Edit:
With the new retina display macbooks, this comment may no longer apply. Having hi-res versions of web graphics will presumably become more and more important going forward.

IndonesiaTrip Reports
Review: Premier Lounge, Jakarta Airport Terminal Two
At terminal two in Jakarta's Soekarno Hatto international airport, eligible Cathay passengers can use two lounges. They can access the Pura Indah lounge, whose first class wing we reviewed previously, or the Premier Lounge. As the sign outside the Premier Lounge attests, it is open to passengers and customers of a wide array of airlines and banks. Both lounges are situated next to each other close to the "D" gates in terminal two.
The Premier Lounge is decently sized, though it's basically all in one big room with some basic partitioning. There are a number of seating areas with moderately comfortable seats, a food area and a small area with some computers. As so many people can use it, it can get quite noisy as well as busy. Its décor is slightly dated and there is no natural light inside, in contrast to the nearby gate areas.
The food selection is decent. There is a hot buffet, some display cases with small sandwiches, cakes and savoury pastries, and soups. There is a good mix of local and international food.
There is a coffee machine and a range of juices. A small fridge contains some soft drinks, and draft beer is available after twelve noon.
There is a fair selection of magazines in various languages, as well as several newspapers.
The lounge has quite a few staff, who are friendly and help to keep it pretty clean looking.
Overall, this is not a particularly enjoyable lounge but it is fine and the food selection will keep your hunger at bay.

Receiving an Alzheimer's diagnosis comes with a lot of questions. When you're diagnosed with Alzheimer's, your family may be doing research about the progression of the disease, risk factors, and care options. Those who live alone are quick to question how they will continue to live an independent life in spite of diagnosis.
Rather than immediately entering assisted living or moving in with a family member, many who are diagnosed with Alzheimer's are able to continue living alone, depending on their condition. While those with Alzheimer's are at a greater risk of falling, wandering away from home, and inadequate self-care, those in the early stages of the disease who take necessary safety precautions can continue to live independently for some time.
Avoid making a premature move and sacrificing your comfort by ensuring proper measures are taken to support your well-being and safety. Keep reading to learn what you need to know about living alone with Alzheimer's.
Remember, it's important to continually assess your condition and be honest about your safety. If living alone feels dangerous or undesirable, it may be time to transition into a new living situation where you can receive more care.
Having a legal and financial plan in place is important for all adults, not only those diagnosed with Alzheimer's. If you have yet to make your healthcare and end-of-life wishes known, it is recommended that you do so now. This can be done by creating a living will and a health care power of attorney. Decide which type of environment you would feel the most comfortable in once you are no longer able to live independently. Consider the different treatment options for Alzheimer's and outline the type of care you would prefer. These documents will provide help for your loved ones when they must make decisions on your behalf.
In addition to making plans for the future, it's also important to make plans for the present. It is not uncommon for those with Alzheimer's to forgot to make bill payments or manage their banking. Learn more about bank-at-home services that will allow you to manage your finances more conveniently.
Living alone with Alzheimer's raises questions of safety. While it is true that it is not safe to live independently while in the later stages of Alzheimer's, there are many precautions that can be taken during the early stages to allow you to continue living alone.
It's important to create a detailed plan for your personal hygiene, diet, and household tasks. It is never the intent of a person with Alzheimer's to neglect their self-care, but oftentimes it is overlooked due to changes in thinking. It's a wise decision to ask your loved ones for help with daily tasks such as meal preparation and medicine distribution. Organize your dresser drawers and closet in a way that will make it easy for you to choose what to wear each day.
Along with creating a plan for how you will take care of your basic needs, it's also important to make sure your home is properly cared for. Arrange to have a housekeeper clean weekly or bi-weekly. Label cupboards and drawers with their contents inside to help avoid confusion. Be sure to keep a list of important telephone numbers next to the phone. Use a large font so they are easy to read.
To ensure your home is safe, leave notes reminding yourself to do tasks such as turning off the oven or unplugging the curling iron. Whenever possible, use electrical items that shut off on their own to avoid risk of fire. Be sure to put fresh batteries in your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors and mark a date in the calendar to replace them.
Even if your Alzheimer's is in the early stages, it's important to prepare for the future by setting up necessary precautions. It may be a while before your disease progresses, but it's always best to prepare for the future to ensure your safety.
Create a plan for your transportation. At some point, those with Alzheimer's should no longer drive as they present a risk of harm to themselves and others. Determine how you will get around once you are no longer able to drive and plan for the future. If you have children, see if you can plan together to buy an accessible vehicle if they will be assisting you in getting where you need to go. If possible, start using this method of transportation on occasion so it begins to feel more comfortable to you, even if that simply means sitting in the passenger seat of the car.
Those with Alzheimer's may be prone to wandering so it be sure to set up a system for your safe return home. While it's a good idea to keep a map indicating your home on your person when you leave the house, there are also safety systems available such as the MedicAlert Safe Return program.

Russia's Request to Monitor the U.S. Election Was an Expert-Level Troll

Election officials in Oklahoma, Louisiana, and Texas say they have denied requests from the Russian consulate to send observers to polling places next month. The Russians, it seems, wanted to study the "US experience in organization of voting process."
In Russia's elections, evidence of fraud and ballot-stuffing is widespread and obvious, and the country has frequently been subject to criticism from U.S. officials, including Hillary Clinton. So this is an obvious troll by the Russian government. The U.S State Department agrees, dismissing the request as "nothing more than a PR stunt."
Foreign missions regularly observe U.S. elections, as they do in many other countries. During this year's vote, the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe and the Organization of American States will be dispatching teams throughout the country. The OSCE mission caused a bit of a flap four years ago when Texas' attorney general threatened to arrest any monitors attempting to enter polling places, leading to some disingenuous tsk-tsking from governments that are usually on the receiving end of election monitor criticism, particularly Russia.
Obviously there's a big difference between the OSCE, a credible body of which the U.S. is a founding member, and Russia, which this year has been accused of an unprecedented attempt to interfere in the U.S. election. It's also more typical for governments to monitor foreign elections as part of multilateral groups, like the OSCE or OAS, rather than as an individual government delegation.
I think there's value in the U.S. showing that it has nothing to hide and is happy to accept the sort of scrutiny that it demands from other countries, which is why I think it's unfortunate that many states now have laws on their books prohibiting foreign monitors. But given the circumstances, I get why officials wouldn't want a mission with such an obvious agenda hanging around polling places.
Contrary to the fears expressed in Texas in 2012, there's little risk of monitors actually interfering with the vote; the security measures of the U.S. election process are robust enough to prevent that. More likely, Russian observers would try to score ticky-tacky propaganda points by seizing on some minor incident or discrepancy and pointing to it as evidence of widespread voter fraud. (Kremlin-funded outlets like Sputnik and RT have given heavy coverage to Donald Trump's voter fraud fearmongering.) On the other hand, Russia is scoring ticky-taky propaganda points from the fact that the monitors have been "barred" by the U.S. authorities. There's no way to win this one.

Whilst you move around on the Nigerian roads you need to be cautious about your surroundings. It is unfortunate that there are touts who like to parade around high-traffic areas where road congestion is frequent. If you are in a car, albeit the driver or passenger, ensure that you lock your car doors before you set off for your journey, and every time you get back into the car during the day. There have been past reports of hoodlums attempting to open car doors and carrying out robberies.
Always keep your windows wound up closed. I have a friend who kept her window only 2- inches down in a traffic-jam at night, when suddenly a thief forced his arm through the space and snatched her necklace. Endeavour to use the AC (Air Conditioning) in order to seal up your car as much as possible.
At night, do not follow shortcuts or 'back routes' which are hidden away from the general public. These could be potential hideout spots for rogues and armed-robbers. Only use such shortcuts in the daytime or when there are other cars using it when you are, preferably before dark.
Call for a friend's assistance using your mobile phone (which is a must in case of emergencies) and if he/she is on his/her way then you lock yourself up in the car and sit tight till the cavalry arrive. Alternatively you can lock up the car and, so long as you've parked well off the road, take public transport to get assistance. Be careful when being approached by eager pedestrians who suddenly appear from nowhere to help. Keep your valuables (wallet, purse, watch, etc) in your glove compartment and lock your car up first. If you see that where you're stranded has human-traffic then you shouldn't have much to worry about. Never find yourself out late, alone and without a (fully-charged) mobile phone – 'tis a deadly medley.

Both those Tang Ban look like Audax clones, very popular in the day.
Don't know Silver Flute, TB & SB very consistent!
I can't remember the last time I worked on it!
I think I redid the crossover again, but haven't tried it. I'll have to pull it back up and take a look sometime soon.
Sounds good. Love to hear how they turn out. I am currently working on a 3 way design as well.
So my other 3 way monitor thread is mostly about available options out in the world and someone asked me about this project..
Well, I just hadn't really felt like messing with it. The simulations weren't adding up and I was not getting the results that the sims were and it was really draining my resolve on finishing the speakers. More money, more time, etc.
However, reading about new monitors might have sparked my interest a little.. I might try DSP based crossovers instead! Looks like I could get into the DSP and a few class-D amps for less than 200$ a speaker.
I'd certainly try one first and see if it's possible to do what I want..
I am still working on my 3way. I am currently using ADAU1702 for the crossover/FIR. I have been unable to find a reasonably priced solution with good ADDA, soy plan is to eventually design a ADAU1452 board with quality AD/DA but digital signal design is somewhat outside of my current skill set.
Anyway keep us up to date. I am keen to see what you come up with.
I like the idea of using the 1701 series for a quick prototype. I've found a class-D chipset, the TPA3250 that would work. I really love the idea of being able to tweak very narrow frequency issues. It's very hard to do so with passive filters as they become too lossy and the impedances change too much over frequency.
I need to create a better setup for sweep testing. I've been trying to do it in my control room but it's a pain to keep moving speakers around in there. I need to set up my laptop for testing in my dead room I think.
The only problem with class D is they are normally measured at 10% THD+N. So in reality you have to way over spec them to have clean power delivered. For testing Im using some sure STA516BE amps.
My test setup is a laptop, Focusrite 2i2 and Audix TM1. In the backyard with the speaker lifted off the ground pointed up. Ground plane could be an option if my backyard was larger.


I joined Reform in September 2018 as Events and Communications Coordinator, from the not-for-profit sector where I held various positions, latterly in communications and external affairs. My role at Reform centres around delivering a portfolio of policy events a year and supporting the delivery of the think tank's communications strategy, ensuring the organisation is heard right across the UK public policy debate. Before work, I studied Criminology at Durham University, which sparked my interest in social policy and using communications to try and create change. I have also volunteered for a Drug and Alcohol charity across the UK and Europe.
My spare time is mostly taken up by talking about cricket in the winter and trying to play it in the summer, alongside cooking, fishing and dance music (from time to time).

What Lies in Store for Our Neighbours to the South
This is taken directly from the draft National Climate Assessment prepared by U.S. government scientists for release next year. It is taken from the introduction to the chapter on water.
1. Annual precipitation and runoff increases are observed now in the Midwest and 18 Northeast regions and are projected to continue or develop in northern states; 19 decreases are observed and projected in southern states. 20
2. Summer droughts are expected to intensify in most regions of the U.S., with longer 21 term reductions in water availability in the Southwest, Southeast, and Hawai'i in 22 response to both rising temperatures and changes in precipitation. 23
3. Floods are projected to intensify in most regions of the U.S., even in areas where 24 average annual precipitation is projected to decline, but especially in areas that are 25 expected to become wetter, such as the Midwest and the Northeast. 26
4. Expected changes in precipitation and land use in aquifer recharge areas, combined 27 with changes in demand for groundwater over time, will affect groundwater 28 availability in ways that are not well monitored or understood. 29
5. Sea level rise, storms and storm surges, and changes in surface and groundwater use 30 patterns are expected to challenge the sustainability of coastal freshwater aquifers 31 and wetlands. 32
6. Air and water temperatures, precipitation intensity, and droughts affect water 33 quality in rivers and lakes. More intense runoff and precipitation generally increase 34 river sediment, nitrogen, and pollutant loads. Increasing water temperatures and 35 intensifying droughts can decrease lake mixing, reduce oxygen in bottom waters, 36 and increase the length of time pollutants remain in water bodies. 37
There it is. America is already in and faces a worsening water crisis. Precipitation patterns are shifting northward with precipitation declines across the already drought-stricken southeast and southwest. Many parts of the country, particularly the grain belt, are expected to endure cyclical droughts and floods.
Surface water resources are becoming distressed and are expected to sustain increases in sediment, nitrogen and pollution levels that can kill lakes.
What is beyond the scope of the NCA is what this means for Mexico and Central America and the challenges those will present to the southern U.S.
Remember, this is only one chapter, the one on water, that I cherry picked out of the much larger report. There's more, plenty more.
There are the reports. Here's a link to the National Climate Assessment. Here's a link to the recent paper published in the Proceedings of the Royal Society. These two reports will give you an up to date and deliberately stark look at what we're facing. The question you have to answer is if you're just going to look the other way... sort of like all the frontrunners for the Liberal leadership.

On Tuesday, Katrina Pierson, senior advisor for President Trump's 2020 re-election campaign, shared her views on Democrats who chose to wear all white during the State of the Union address.
Several House Democratic women elected to wear all white attire to the State of the Union address; they subsequently cited the women's suffrage as their source of inspiration. However, not all Americans interpreted their attire in the manner which they were going for.
Democrat women all wearing white tonight, inspired by their beloved Virginia Governor's yearbook photo.
Censure of the Democrats did not exclusively include their attire. In addition to criticism for wearing all white, Democrats furthermore faced backlash for their refusal to clap on certain issues. Observers of the State of the Union noted the Democrats' stillness when Trump mentioned the reduction of crime at the Southern border and economic wins for Americans.
However, Democrats also issued their own censure. After the State of the Union, several left-wingers blasted the president's address; they claimed that Trump lacked preparation and engaged in divisive rhetoric. Their allegations starkly contrast with the 76% of Americans who viewed Trump's speech in a favorable manner.
Democrats are no strangers to accusations of racism. While their party frequently brands Republicans as racist, the right-wing has pushed back. Many on the right-wing note that policies which Democrats advocate for are harmful towards the people they claim to champion.
Conservatives have also stated that many real racists are the ones who see racism in everyone else. Nevertheless, the Democrats still stand by their views. Last night, Sen. Bernie Sanders alleged that Trump's address contained "racist" rhetoric with the intent to divide Americans.
The parallels between all-white wearing Democrats and the KKK also comes at an interesting time. Virginia governor and Democrat Ralph Northam is currently facing extreme backlash for a yearbook photo featuring a man in blackface next to a man in KKK robes; Northam, however, denies that he is in the damning image.

Susanne Jansson was born in 1972 in Åmål, Sweden. She later moved to Gothenburg to work in advertising and then to New York to study photography. After returning to Sweden, she worked as a freelance photographer while studying journalism, and for the past 20 years she has been combining her work as a photographer with freelance journalism. THE FORBIDDEN PLACE is her debut novel. Jansson lives with her family outside Gothenburg.
In the remote Swedish wetlands lies Mossmarken, the village on the edge of the mire where, once upon a time, people came to leave offerings to the gods. Biologist Nathalie came in order to study the peat bogs. But she has a secret: Mossmarken was once her home, a place where terrible things happened. She has returned at last, determined to confront her childhood trauma and find out the truth. Soon after her arrival, she finds an unconscious man out on the marsh, his pockets filled with gold --- just like the ancient human sacrifices. A grave is dug in the mire, which vanishes a day after. Then the bodies start to surface. Is the mire calling out for sacrifices? Or is it an all-too-human evil?


My instructable is published now but the picture I see when I click on Explore=>Recent is very dark. When I open the instructable the picture is right.
I just spent some time looking into this. Turns out Imagemagick (the library that we and almost everyone else use for image manipulation) swapped the meaning of "RGB" and "sRGB" in the version we recently upgraded to. I couldn't believe it. This is the programming equivalent of swapping all the "push" and "pull" stickers on an entryway.
It'll take a little time to get this through QA and Release cycles, but this issue should start fading into the background soon.
I downloaded the picture and changed it from qwerty.jpg to qwerty.jpeg and that solved the problem.
I looked and the dark pictures in my instructables are saved as jpegs.
Sorry for all the trouble I've caused you today.
The darkened image was actually part of the buggy issue, which we spotted immediately :) You should be all set now though, and the various issues are being investigated.
It's actually something you can easily fix. Is your cover image saved as a PNG by any chance?
For some reason cover images that are saved as a PNG render funny in certain tones. Saving them as JPEG and re-uploading solves the problem.


Be sure to change your manual toothbrush or electric brush head every 3 months. The reason is that they become ineffective because they fray out due to brushing too hard. Most importantly, they harbor harmful bacteria that can cause infections such as gingivitis and periodontist. You should also change your toothbrush if you become ill so that you do not re-infect yourself.


CRT Wins Social Media Contest: Most Pup-ular Story!
Last week, Acme Controls held a contest on social media to guess which story in their news page was the most popular! Guess who won? We did! A big thanks to Acme Controls! They're a Chicago-based distributor and repairer of HVAC, boiler and industrial electronic parts for contractors, facility managers and lines of manufacturing. Check out their website here: http://www.acmecontrols.com/.
So what was the winning story? A man recently built his dog an air-conditioned bed, because she was getting hot outside and digging up the flower bed to lay on the cool ground. Isn't she cute?
Read the full story (with instructions for building your own AC dog bed, if you're interested) over at: http://www.pawmygosh.com/ac-dog-bed/! And once again, thanks to Acme Controls for running the contest. We'll be receiving our winnings — a hat! — in the mail soon. We look forward to sharing it with you all.
Our hat came in the mail today! Our social media manager, Molly Tessnear, is wearing the hat, while our client services representative, Candice Eaker, rocks out in front of our product display table. Awesome!
Check out the full article at the link above or see a few quick tips below.
Aim to set your thermostat at 68°F. If it's lower, you'll likely end up wasting energy and shortening the life of your system.
Change your air filters each month to prevent clogging that can reduce airflow and efficiency.
Have your unit serviced by a professional HVAC maintenance technician or contractor each year. The best time to do this is spring – before the heat of summer hits. And be sure to call for repairs at the first sign of trouble.


Images of the Jets 2004 semi, which we unfortunately lost 33-22. Following an inconstant season , due mainly to lack of numbers, the 17 boys that turned up to play in the semi were fired up and put on a good show making the giants pull out everything to win it.
A big thanks to all the boys who played this year, it was a good display of Ironman football highlighted by some great wins throughout the season. To eveyone who assisted down at training again a big thanks all the boys learned a lot. Most importantly however a huge thank you from all the team to everyone who came down to the games throughout the season. It's always great to hear you in the stands cheering the boys on, or sledging the opposition, either way it makes the game worth playing, so we look forward to seeing you all in season 2005.

A pedestrian was struck and killed Thursday evening in Rohnert Park by a Sonoma-Marin Area Rail Transit train, public safety officials said.
Dispatchers received two calls at 4:58 p.m. from people who said a pedestrian had walked in front of a SMART train at the Golf Course Drive crossing.
Officers responded and found a 29-year-old man lying away from the tracks near a fence. Officers checked on the man and determined he was dead.
His name won't be released until his family is notified.
Witnesses told officers the man appeared to have headphones on. The train engineer sounded a horn, but the man kept walking and ended up in the path of the train, public safety officials said the witness told officers.
A bus bridge was set up to take train travelers between Rohnert Park and all stations north.
Trains remained operating between Rohnert Park and San Rafael.
The death is under investigation. Any information can be reported to the Rohnert Park Department of Public Safety at (707) 584-2630.


BWRC Breakfast Talk: Visions for Newtown Creek, Friday, October 12, 8:30 – 10 a.m.
Posted October 2, 2018 by Eric McClure & filed under Frontpage, Public Meeting.
Newtown Creek was designated as a Superfund site in 2010 as a result of pollution caused by decades of heavy waterfront industry and by its having served as a basin for the sewers of adjacent neighborhoods. For decades, community organizers and environmental activists have worked to address the Creek's contamination crisis and mitigate the impact of damaging industrial pollution.
Join us on Friday, October 12th and hear representatives of Riverkeeper and the Newtown Creek Alliance discuss their comprehensive, four-part vision plan for the remediation and restoration of the Newtown Creek. The Plan emphasizes the importance of understanding the innate complexity of an industrial urban ecosystem, from storm surge vulnerability to community health outcomes. Learn how a balanced and safe environmental ecosystem can cohabitate with industry; why waterfront accessibility is so crucial to sustainability; and what role the local community can play in the process.
Chrissy Remein currently serves as New York City Water Quality Coordinator at Riverkeeper where she develops community and stakeholder-driven vision plans for Newtown Creek and Flushing Bay. Before graduate school, Remein worked as a program manager for nonprofits like the Student Conservation Association (SCA), and spent two years in Togo as a Peace Corps Natural Resource Management Volunteer.
Lisa Bloodgood currently serves as education coordinator for the Newtown Creek Alliance, where she focuses on community science-based research rooted in ecology, biodiversity, and restoration. She is the NY Co-Chair for the NY/NJ Harbor Estuary Program's Community Advisory Council, and serves on both the Steering and Technical Committees for the EPA's Newtown Creek Superfund Community Advisory Group (CAG). Bloodgood also volunteers as Vice-Chairperson of Neighbors Allied for Good Growth's (NAG) Board of Directors.
As always, breakfast is on us.

3 Reasons Why API Management Is Dead
contributed,op-ed,
Cloud Native / Contributed
2 Nov 2018 12:33pm, by Augusto Marietti
Last month at our inaugural Kong Summit, I declared on stage that API management is dead. As incredulous as you are reading this now, the crowd was just as curious about what I meant. There are three reasons why I believe that API management as we know it today will cease to exist, and a new category will emerge in its place.
Reason 1: Information Is in Flight
By 2025, IDC projects that 180ZB (zettabytes) of data will be created annually, and 25 percent of that data will be real time. That is to say, data will increasingly be in flight. With data passing more rapidly between services and clients, the value of data is no longer in silos or large data lakes — the value is in its motion from point A to point B. What's most important now is the speed at which one can transfer, analyze and act on data as it passes from source to destination. Traditional, legacy API management solutions struggle with this. They are too heavyweight, slow and unable to scale horizontally, making them incompatible with the distributed architectures.
Reason 2: Cloud Native First, but Hybrid Always
The future of architecture will be cloud-native, but hybrid architectures will always exist. Although companies will inevitably build cloud native services, we must still continue to deal with services that run on legacy systems. We spent the last 20 years bringing IT inside our companies — companies won't rip this out overnight. With the ability to work across systems as a primary consideration, API management as we know it simply isn't flexible enough. Legacy solutions were born before the advent of containers and serverless, and they cannot meet the demands of a mixed cloud native and hybrid architectures world.
Reason 3: Services Are Exploding
The number of services we need to manage will explode. Companies are evolving in the same way that organisms did — from a single cell to multicellular organisms. Amazon, for example, grew from a single service to an incredibly complex network of thousands of services. Like most companies embracing microservices, Amazon did this to accelerate the pace at which they could innovate and to better scale as they grow. Looking at successful companies such as Amazon, they are at their heart service-driven. The services they build quickly become a nervous system for these companies to react and adapt more quickly to a changing landscape. As companies continue to break apart their monoliths and services get more distributed, we'll see the journey from one service to thousands repeated. As monoliths themselves, legacy API management solutions are born centralized and do not work as well in decentralized scenarios.
The Future of Architecture
Augusto Marietti
Augusto "Aghi" Marietti is an inventor, technology entrepreneur and angel investor. As the CEO and co-founder of Kong, the API company on a mission to intelligently broker information across all services, he drives the company's vision, strategy and long-term growth. He is the lead inventor on five U.S. patents and an angel investor in more than 10 startups.
So, if API management must evolve into something new, what does the platform of the future look like? What solution can support our architecture as we transform from simple and centralized to complex and distributed? The answer is a new category for the future of intelligent architecture — the service control platform.
The service control platform intelligently brokers information across all services. Instead of simply transferring information from Point A to Point B, it will understand the information and make intelligent decisions for what to with it. Regardless of the environment, deployment pattern, language, or transport method used, this new platform will support it. Additionally, since it sits at the nexus of all communication, it can act intelligently on the traffic. Leveraging advanced AI, security and governance capabilities, the service control platform transforms dumb endpoints into a network of intelligent services. Like a high-performing air traffic controller, this will allow a company's services to better adapt to changes and threats without disruption or damage.
Not Another SOA Fantasy
If you're reading this and thinking that it sounds like SOA all over again, you're not completely wrong. We are building towards what SOA dreamed of but could not execute because of one fundamental truth — the SOA movement was driven by vendors. However, the service revolution today is driven by developers and previously unavailable open source tooling.
As I said at our Summit last week, being open source is no longer an advantage — it's the baseline. The future will be built by developers, and open source companies will provide the tooling needed to make those services successful. The emerging service control platform frees developers from rigid infrastructure so that they can use the right tool for the job — today, tomorrow and into the future.

Q: How to get the link data with pretty text in it from Google Sheet API I'm getting data from google sheet in CSV format. But when the sheet has a Hyperlink in its cell, like =Hyperlink("URL", "pretty text"), the google sheet only gives me the pretty text not the link, So my question is how can I get both links & pretty text from google sheet.
Thanks for helping me

A: You will have to make use of the valueRenderOption parameter when making the spreadsheets.values.get API call.

Assuming your cell looks like this:

You can retrieve the following values using different values for the valueRenderOption parameter as this one will determine how values are rendered in the output.
1. If valueRenderOption is FORMATTED_VALUE (which is the default value when making the API call):
GET https://sheets.googleapis.com/v4/spreadsheets/SPREADSHEET_ID/values/A1?valueRenderOption=FORMATTED_VALUE

Then the response will look like this:
{
  "range": "Sheet1!A1",
  "majorDimension": "ROWS",
  "values": [
    [
      "pretty text"
    ]
  ]
}

2. If valueRenderOption is UNFORMATTED_VALUE:
GET https://sheets.googleapis.com/v4/spreadsheets/SPREADSHEET_ID/values/A1?valueRenderOption=UNFORMATTED_VALUE

Then the response will look like this:
{
  "range": "Sheet1!A1",
  "majorDimension": "ROWS",
  "values": [
    [
      "pretty text"
    ]
  ]
}

3. If valueRenderOption is FORMULA:
GET https://sheets.googleapis.com/v4/spreadsheets/SPREADSHEET_ID/values/A1?valueRenderOption=FORMULA

Then the response will look like this:
{
  "range": "Sheet1!A1",
  "majorDimension": "ROWS",
  "values": [
    [
      "=HYPERLINK(\"URL\", \"pretty text\")"
    ]
  ]
}

Therefore, depending on the exact result you want to achieve, it would be best to use the FORMULA parameter as this will retrieve the formula with its link and value as well. This might require some string processing if you simply want the link and its value.

Psychology of the Courtroom: Guilty or Not Guilty?
Reports of rape and sexual offences are on the rise. Despite this, criminal convictions at court are lower in rape cases than for almost all other types of crime. During his lecture Dr. Dominic Willmott from the University of Huddersfield will explain why rape victims are not getting the justice they deserve.
Free admission. Registration required. Lecture in English with simultaneous translation into Polish.
Around the world reports of rape and sexual offences are on the rise. Despite this, criminal convictions at court are lower in rape cases than for almost all other types of crime. One explanation is that unlike other crimes, rape cannot rely on traditional policing methods. With most rapes occurring in private behind closed doors, CCTV evidence and eyewitnesses are rarely available to investigators.
Also DNA shows only that the alleged act happened, not whether it happened with consent. However, are these really the reasons why conviction rates are low? Or is there a more psychological explanation?
Based on scientific research carried out in English courtrooms with real criminal lawyers and judges, Dr. Dominic Willmott explains why rape victims are not getting the justice they deserve.
Dr. Dominic Willmott– researcher at the University of Huddersfield, England. With a specialism in Forensic and Criminal Psychology, Dominic's work focuses upon the application of psychological principles within criminal justice domains, primarily decision making within the courtroom. Dominic's research examining the extent to which bias can impact the impartiality of verdict decisions within rape trials, has received international attention within the media, science and legal practice. Dominic conducts scientific research in the field of forensic and criminal psychology around the world, including China, India, Uganda, Jamaica, Barbados, Grenada and Great Britain and has delivered research and training around Gender-based violence to numerous British police forces, Government Agencies, and Victim Charities, as well as to the United States Air Force.

Today, the San Francisco Board of Supervisors will take its final vote to approve my update to our city's groundbreaking open data law. My open data ordinance, in its simplest terms, standardizes and sets timelines for the release of appropriate city government data.
Later today, as part of Innovation Month, San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee will unveil SF Recreation & Park's official iPhone App, SFRECPARK, developed for San Francisco by mobile commerce company Appallicious.


Lord, what is Your will that I do? I am completely open to Your plan for me. I desire to live only in You and to be guided by You forever. Grant that Your holy will may be carried out perfectly in me.

Artists - A Music - 1970s 2 Mins Read
Following a tradition set by Aussie bands like The Affair, The Executives and Zoot, Sydney-based Autumn was unashamedly a pop band.
Their debut single Mr Henry's Lollipop Shop at the start of 1970 set the tone for subsequent releases.
The group's second single, Yellow River, was a cover of the recent hit by English band Christie. The song was also covered by Melbourne band Jigsaw, and the two Aussie groups shared a joint national #1 hit in August 1970.
Looking Thru the Eyes of a Beautiful Girl b/w Song To Raymondo provided a double-sided hit in January 1971, reaching #3 in Sydney and #22 in Brisbane.
Guitarist Allan Marshall replaced Greg Jacques in April 1971 and Autumn were signed by Warner Music (WEA), the newly established Australian subsidiary of the famous American record company. Their first Warner single, Falling (May 1971) reached #10 in Sydney.
Subsequent singles Goblin's Gamble (July) and Just Couldn't Believe It (September) both failed to chart.
During the second half of 1971 Autumn released their hugely underrated album Comes Autumn.
The group broke up during an ill-fated trip to the UK in early 1972, splitting up within just six weeks of their arrival.

Csanád Szegedi (22. september 1982 i Miskolc) er en ungarsk politiker. 2007 blev han internationalt kendt som medgrundlægger af den antisemitiske gruppe "Ungarske Garde". 2009 blev han medlem af Europaparlamentet. Han har bevaret sit medlemskab af Europaparlamentet som løsgænger.

Fra 2003 til 2012 var Szegedi medlem af det højreekstremistiske parti Jobbik. Han trådte ud af partiet, efter at han var blevet konfronteret med sine ubekendte jødiske rødder. Szegedi opdagede, at han selv er jøde, og at hans mormor, som er 94 år (2014), er en overlevende fra koncentrationslejren Auschwitz.
