Africa Investment Opportunities
$348m for Road Rehabilitation-Uganda, AfDB
20th May 2021 Godfrey IvudriaComment(0)
Abidjan, 19 May 2021 – The African Development Bank and the Government of Uganda have signed two financing agreements totaling around $348 million for the improvement of road transport in Uganda.
The first is a $276 million financing agreement for the Kampala City Roads Rehabilitation Project; and the second, valued at $71.8 million, is for upgrading the Kabale-Lake Bunyonyi/Kisoro-Mgahinga road.
The agreements were signed on 11 May by Uganda's Minister of Finance, Planning and Economic Development Matia Kasaija, and African Development Bank Uganda country manager Augustine Kpehe Ngafuan.
Minister Kasaija described the projects as "transformative" and in line with his government's national development plan as well as the African Development Bank's High 5 strategic priorities.
The Kampala City Roads Rehabilitation Project will ease congestion in the capital by upgrading 22 road junctions and enhancing the drainage capacity of the city to mitigate flooding on the streets.
The project will see the improvement of 67 km of roads, 134 km of non-motorized traffic facilities, and the provision of street lighting and scheduled eco-bus services, including bus depots and dedicated lanes.
It includes several complementary social initiatives, notably entrepreneurship training for at least 200 women and youth, and the construction of roadside markets and at least 30 public toilets in Kampala.
The Kabale-Lake Bunyonyi/Kisoro-Mgahinga Project will improve transport connectivity in south-western Uganda by seamlessly connecting roads with inland water transport on Lake Bunyonyi, allowing local communities to safely access social and economic activities, notably tourism.
The project will also improve agricultural supply chain efficiency in the districts of Kabale, Rubanda, and Kisoro.
The project includes the construction of four landing sites on Lake Bunyonyi, at least 1,000 streetlights at all the trading centres through which the road passes, two ferries, as well as search and rescue boats kitted with navigational aids.
Complementary social interventions include two roadside markets, schools, a hospital, administrative centres, and sanitary facilities to support women and youth vendors.
It will also finance the power supply in Bwama Island on Lake Bunyonyi to some 10,000 residents and include planting trees to increase forest cover in the area.
"The African Development Bank will continue to support the government and people of Uganda to achieve the country's development objectives," Ngafuan said.
"The Bank is currently working with the government and other stakeholders to develop a new five-year country strategy paper that will continue to prioritize transformative interventions, especially in the transport sector."

Every year in my journal I reflect upon the past year and all of my accomplishments along with goals still in progress and for the next year. It reminds me of everything that I achieved and allows me to celebrate each accomplishment and gives me a good platform for continuing in my recovery and what else I want/need to accomplish.
One of the biggest rules I have for this yearly reflection is kindness and compassion. If I am still working on something, then I am still working on it. If I still did not make it to something on my list that I wanted to accomplish, then that is okay, too. This is not about what I did not accomplish, but about celebrating what I did. It about continuing to make, change, erase, or whatever any goals I may have in the future and the future is whenever. I do not have to accomplish everything in a month, six months, or a year. There is no perfection here.
Working through difficult issues (some for the first time).
Worked through some important OCD issues.
Stayed committed to recovery and for the most part did not engage in behaviors all year!
This was HUGE for me! I had a lot of ups and downs after getting out of treatment last summer. It was last winter, I turned things around and made huge changes and this year really did the best I ever have in recovery. I am really proud of myself.
Improved my physical health through recovery.
My body is slowly but surely healing from the eating disorder and it is awesome to hear after a year's time the improvement in my health!
Worked through a significant portion of my fear foods!
I have accomplished so much on my fear foods list! I cannot be more happy! I am eating foods that I have not eaten in years. I am so fortunate and grateful for my meal support and cannot wait to knock out those other fear foods ASAP!
Made my entire treatment team proud of me.
Started writing about recovery and gained more than ever expected.
I never thought starting this blog would lead to anything important. I was so wrong. I am so grateful for everyone here that reads and every opportunity that has come my way because of this. I truly do not have words for how much you all and it all means to me.
Celebrated my birthday again this year.
The story behind this is that I stopped celebrating my birthday many years ago. I thought that I was not worth it and did not deserve any of it. It was not until last year that I started celebrating it again. This year, I celebrated it again and it was one of my best birthdays ever. I am worth it.
This was a huge step for me and I am so glad I did it. Still need to continue to swap out small clothes and buy other clothes, but I am making more progress than ever.
Gained the ability to read again.
Up until earlier this year, I had been unable to read because my eating disorder had robbed me of that ability. My brain could simply not concentrate long enough to be able to read while I was sick. In recovery, I am able to read to my heart's content!
Took better care of myself this year than ever before.
Connected with others (family, friends, etc.) more this year.
Ate meals with others and not alone.
Big deal for me, too. I had continued to eat alone like I did when I was in my eating disorder instead of with others. Long story short, I made a big effort to overcome my fears and eat with other people. I do not have to eat alone anymore!
Continue to work on my fear foods list and the few items left.
Stay committed to recovery no matter what.
Build more body acceptance and love.
Continue working through difficult issues.
Continue to improve my health and heal my body.
Continue to celebrate my birthday every year. I am worth it.
Continue to take good self-care and make it a priority.
Continue to eat meals with others and not alone.
Find more self-compassion, more often.
Achieve full eating disorder recovery.
This is definitely an on-going goal!
Continue to work on my OCD.
Of course these accomplishments and goals are not an exhaustive list (and I may have forgotten a few big things to write down!), but these are some of the most important recovery accomplishments this years and goals for the next. I have accomplished so much and I could not be more happy or proud of myself for my achievements. I cannot wait to see what else I can achieve in recovery in the upcoming year and beyond. I know, with recovery, I can accomplish the things that were never possible before when I was sick. I can accomplished my dreams.
What have you accomplished in your recovery this year? What are your goals for the future? Remember: Have kindness and compassion towards yourself when writing down your accomplishments and goals and NO accomplishment is too small to celebrate!

Diada de Sant Jordi (Saint George's Day) 23/04/19.
The streets and squares are filled with people strolling among the flower and book stalls.
On 23rd April Catalans celebrate the day of their patron saint, Saint George (Sant Jordi in Catalan), a mysterious brave knight who saved a princess from being devoured by a ferocious dragon. The day has evolved into the popular day of the rose and the book.
It is customary for men to give red roses to their beloved. The legend of Saint George has it that from the blood of the dragon a rose tree grew and that the knight picked a rose to give to the princess. There is documentary evidence of this tradition dating back to the 15thcentury, although at that time it was celebrated exclusively by the aristocracy. It has grown in popularity over the centuries to the point where today it can be stated that the diada is the real day of lovers in Catalonia.
This tradition has been happily joined by the celebration of the Day of the Book, much more recent but also very firmly established in Catalonia. In this case, women traditionally give a book to their beloved. In 1995, this ritual was consolidated when UNESCO declared 23rd April to be "World Book and Copyright Day".
Even though it normally falls on a working and school day, the Diada de Sant Jordi is declared a National Feast Day in Catalonia. The streets and squares are filled with people strolling among the flower and book stalls. Moreover, many balconies are bedecked with senyeres (Catalan flags), a reflection of the specific Catalan nature of this very special day.

Shocking that bullying is still in some schools
Posted on March 29, 2016 by waflay
Bullying on IRFE in March 5, 2007, the first class day. (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
A few days ago, it was there in the news of a young man who underwent some form of brutal bullying that saw him being injured in the process. According to this young man, they were about fifteen students who were paraded by the seniors with claims that they were not respectful. He went on and said that they started beating them up but for his case the beating was so lethal that he lost a tooth and another was left hanging loosely.
Though it was hard to establish whether the school management was aware of any bullying incidents in their school, it was obvious that nobody was willing to seriously take up the matter. First, this student was sent away to seek medical attention on his own to at a rather distant health centre away from the school where he was forced to trek for kilometer. Then this student's mother had issues with the school's management for failing to notify her of the son's misfortunes. She claimed to have been called by another concerned parent who found her son in a sad situation.
So the media people got wind of this incident and accompanied the student and his mother to the school but were restrained from getting into the school compound. His mother called out to be let in but the gate man declined to do so citing strict instructions from above. When the gate was finally opened the teachers locked themselves up in the office and the police were called in, in the name of restoring peace. This parent was mad that nobody bothered to tell her that her son had been beaten by other students and on top of that they were still mum even when she came personally came to school. But all in all, she said that they have at least done the sane action of giving her son a transfer letter because from the experience of her son, there was no conducive environment of learning in the school.
It's so sad that some students in schools like this one still think that they are in school to be seen and heard in their actions yet they ought to know what you leave with after finishing the studies is what really matters.

Princess' Paper Projects: Little Red Wagon Challenge #345 ~ Tag You're It!
Little Red Wagon Challenge #345 ~ Tag You're It!
Hello again. It's the time of the week for a new challenge at Little Red Wagon. Our hostess is one of our newer girlfriends Sandy and her theme is TAG...YOU'RE IT! She wants to see tags on your projects. I enjoy making all kinds of tags for gifts but this time decided I would use a tag on a card. And I liked it so much that I made two...LOL!
I used a stamp set from Your Next Stamp called Keep on Trucking and coloured two of the images with Copics. Paired them with a tag punch from Creative Memories, patterned paper Jack and Jill by Echo Park and enamel dots by Simple Stories and you have a couple of birthday cards for little boys (or big ones if ya want).
Come join us with tags of your own at Little Red Wagon this week. Check out all of the other girlfriends as well and leave us some love.
Thanks for dropping in here. Have a wonderful Wednesday.
Love your card Heather! Great for the guys for sure!!!
Such awesome cards, Heather! Any boy (big or small) would love to get these!
Heather, your cards are adorable! I love the images and how you highlighted them on the bright colored tags! Great for those boys!
Fabulous cards, Heather!! I love those little construction vehicles. You've coloured them so fantastically well!


Depending on the extent of flood damage on your property, you may qualify for crop insurance prevented planting payments. This article will review the final planting dates and late planting periods, and highlight some unknowns and considerations as you assess the damage to your property.
Prevented planting payments are available for both revenue and yield protections polices, but not for Area Risk Protection Insurance. Eligibility for prevented planting payments will be determined on a case-by-case basis.
For all counties in Nebraska, regardless of flood damage, the final planting date for corn is May 25, and the end of the late-planting period is June 14. The final planting date for soybeans is June 10, and the end of the late-planting period is July 5. Farmers may be eligible for prevented planting crop insurance claims if acres have not been planted by the final planting date of the crop. For a farmer to be eligible for a prevented planting payment, prevented planting must be general to the surrounding area.
The severe flood has caused extensive damage to some farms. Farms may be eligible for prevented planting payments based on inability to farm the ground due to silt/sand/debris deposits, inability to enter the farm property from damaged roads and entries, and damaged irrigation systems or wells. Regardless of the reason you are claiming prevented planting, keep detailed records of the event. Records include pictures of the damage and any seed/chemical/fertilizer orders that were in place to show original intention to plant the acres.
The prevented planting payment is 55% of the final guarantee for corn and 60% for soybeans.
If you are prevented from planting, and you do not intend to plant the crop during the late planting period, you need to provide notice to your insurance agent within 72 hours after the final planting date.
Farmers can plant a crop after the final planting date and still receive crop insurance coverage. However, the crop insurance coverage will be reduced 1% per day after the final planting date, for 25 days (the late planting period). You are not obligated to plant in the late planting period.
If you plant during the late planting period, you are not eligible for prevented planting payment.
If you cannot plant during the late planting period, you need to provide notice to your insurance agent within 72 hours after the final date of the late plant period.
Farmers who have existing or "carryover" policies may qualify for prevented planting payment as a result of the flooding.
The bigger question is for new insureds. The crop insurance sales closing date for corn and soybeans in Nebraska was March 15. Insurance coverage for a new insured does not begin until the sales closing date. Insured causes of loss occurring before this time, are not covered. Depending on the location of the farm, this sales closing date could have occurred after the flooding event. Farmland with new policies may not be eligible for crop insurance indemnities related to the flooding.
Leave ground idle. After notifying your crop insurer of a prevented planting situation, you can leave the ground idle until the following crop year.
Planting soybeans rather than corn. If you are unable to plant a corn crop during the corn-planting period, you still may be able to put in a soybean crop. Notify your crop insurance agent of changes of crop planting intentions.
Table 1. Important dates relative to planting, late planting, and prevented planting for 2019.
Plant a cover crop. A cover crop can be planted on acres declared as prevented planting. However, to receive the full prevented planting payment, the cover crop cannot be grazed or hayed before November 1 or otherwise harvested at any time. If the cover crop is planted during the late planting period and grazed or hayed before November 1, no prevented planting payment will be made. If the cover crop is planted after the late planting period and grazed or hayed before November 1, you will receive 35% of the prevented planting payment.
For specific questions regarding your insurance policy, contact your crop insurance agent.
Planting begins in the U.S.


AUSTIN – Texas water fowlers might have better luck bringing in birds with a divining rod instead of a duck call this hunting season. Wetland habitat conditions throughout waterfowl wintering grounds in Texas have suffered greatly under the drought, and what precious little groceries that remain aren't expected to hold birds for long.
Any rainfall prior to the Nov. 5 waterfowl season opener would be a welcome sight for an anticipated banner migration of ducks, but at this point wildlife biologists feel it's too late to repair the damage this year from the drought.
Hunting in areas fortunate enough to have retained water and preserved habitat should be excellent during the early part of the season, but may not be sustainable through the winter.
Texas provides a winter home to 90 percent of the Central Flyway's ducks, roughly 10 million birds in an average year. Unfortunately, this year is an exception as extremely wet conditions in the prairie pothole waterfowl breeding grounds in Canada and the Dakotas bolstered production and near record fall flights are headed this way.
Nelson stressed the mid coast Wildlife Management Areas have very little freshwater available and all wetland impoundments and fresh water ponds are dry. Currently the only water on the Justin Hurst WMA and Mad Island WMA are tidal water.
"It's very salty at the moment and these tidal marshes are pretty much void of any submergent vegetation, which our migrating friends are dependent upon," Nelson said.
Guadalupe Delta WMA is in better shape as its marshes have maintained a decent amount of fresh/brackish water throughout the summer and has produced a fair amount of groceries for the ducks.
The upper coast is fairing a little better, but not much, said Jim Sutherlin, TPWD Upper Coast Wetlands Ecosystem Project Leader.
The brightest spot on the J.D. Murphree WMA is likely Wetland Compartment 5 where Ducks Unlimited installed a new pump this past summer using a NAWCA Grant (North American Wetlands Conservation Act), which gives the WMA the ability to pump water from Big Hill Bayou into this management compartment.
Habitat conditions are equally bleak in the High Plains with biologists reporting all playa basins are dry in the Panhandle.
"Our 'rainy season' typically ends around the end of October, thus, it appears this is the card we have been dealt this year," said Kraai.
Goose hunting still could be good around the more permanent water sources such as Rita Blanca Lake near Dalhart, feedlot lakes, effluent lakes near tanneries and beef packing plants, power plant lakes and urban lakes.
Hunters are reminded that in addition to HIP (Harvest Information Program) certification, they are required to possess a Federal Duck Stamp and a Texas Migratory Game Bird Stamp to hunt ducks, geese and sandhill cranes.

AltSuperFog2008 is a small program that showcases a 2D physics engine (Chipmunk) with a freely configurable scene layout. It was made for the Alt Party 2008 and was designed to run on a fogscreen. The program was ran throughout the party in a fogscreen that was placed in front of the entrance. The fogscreen also had a virtual mouse detection, so that when you placed your finger on the screen (in air), it moved the mouse cursor to that location.

Deal-seeking shoppers are increasingly using mobile and online channels to find discounts, according to a Forrester Consulting study commissioned by digital coupon marketer RetailMeNot. The percentage of shoppers who use a mobile savings app to find deals has grown to 38% this year from 10% in 2014, the study found.
Shoppers are more willing to share information about products they like in order to receive personalized, relevant discounts (60% of respondents) than information about their online activities (6%), friends and followers on social networks (4%) or social activities (4%), the survey found.
The RetailMeNot survey reinforces the idea that consumers have grown more reliant on their mobile devices to shop and to seek out deals, with adoption of mobile savings apps growing nearly fourfold since 2014. This is especially important with younger consumers, as shoppers under age 50 are more than two times as likely as older shoppers to research products on their smartphones, and prefer to look for discounts while on the go. Younger shoppers also are more likely to look for discounts using savings apps (42% versus 32%) and social media (39% versus 23%) when shopping online, the survey found.
The survey demonstrates several ways brands can engage shoppers without alienating them. The rate of shoppers willing to receive texts with personalized discounts while they're shopping in a brick-and-mortar store has doubled since 2014, suggesting that brands should leverage mobile location-based data, when possible, to deliver the right deals to the right customers. Eighty-two percent of marketers plan to boost their use of location data over the next two years to seek greater insights into how consumers interact with businesses, according to a separate study conducted by 451 Research and commissioned by Cuebiq.
As brands struggle to deliver an experience that's both personalized but not too personal, knowing what type of information consumers are willing to share becomes increasingly critical. The survey suggests that brands are safe to use data that's pertinent to the shopping experience, like purchase history and interests, but should avoid marketing based on other online activities and social connections that may cross the line and unsettle consumers.

Q: Accessing code segment memory using SW and LW in MIPS Is it possible to access the code segment memory using the SW and LW instructions in MIPS, given the address of the instructions?
For example:
0x1000: ADDI $s1, $zero, 0x1000
0x1004: LW $s2, 4($s1)

What would the code load into $s2? 0x0000 (given the data segment is empty) or binary representation of the instruction at 0x1004?
EDIT:
AFAIK, pipelining in MIPS processor is possible due to separation of the instructions memory and the data memory - correct me if I'm wrong.
EDIT 2:
I've found a question, the answer to which implies that the instructions can be accessed and modified using LW and SW. Thus the answer is $s2 will contain the binary representation of the instruction at 0x1004.

A: You will load the machine encoding of the instruction at address 0x1004.
MIPS has a flat memory model; different segments of an executable are mapped / loaded into different parts of a single flat memory address space; it's a Von Neumann architecture where code bytes and instruction bytes are the same thing, and share the same address space.
Code addresses use the same address-space as data addresses.  Martin's answer suggests it may be possible to create a MIPS where at least the permissions are different, and of course an embedded MIPS with its code in ROM couldn't modify its instructions with stores.  But even then code and data would have to be mapped into different parts of the same physical address space, even if stores to code addresses faulted.  Possibly you could build a MIPS where even loads of code addresses faulted, but that's unlikely.  Jumps to data addresses might also fault if you disabled execute permission on that region / page.
On a normal MIPS with its instruction in RAM, self-modifying code is possible if you have write+exec permissions configured.  (But note that for correctness you would usually need to flush i-cache, which the code in that Q&A isn't doing.)

And BTW, .data in the asm source really means the .data section, which the linker eventually links into the data segment of the executable.  See What's the difference of section and segment in ELF file format.
The most important point here is that segments of an executable aren't the same thing as x86-style segmented memory.  (The terminology has a similar origin, though).

A: Depends on what you mean with "MIPS":

*

*A real MIPS CPU like you find them in some WLAN routers?

*Some MIPS emulator like SPIM or MARS?
In the case of a real MIPS CPU it depends how the memory management unit is configured:
If the memory management unit allows read access to the code segment you will indeed get the binary representation of the instruction at address 0x1004.
(By the way: You would need to use addi $s1, $0, 0x1004 to ensure $s1 really contains 0x1004 because $s1 could contain another value than 0.)
If the memory management unit does not allow access to the code segment the program will crash. (Most MIPS CPUs seem not to allow this setting.)
If you use some emulator like SPIM, MARS (or any other one) it depends on how the emulator is working...
Theoretically there could be three types of emulators:

*

*Some which crash

*Some which read the binary representation

*Some which read some "stupid" value

Chinese People's Volunteer Army Patch
by Mars Militaria on July 14, 2021 August 17, 2021
Emerging from the Chinese Civil War (1927-1949) as the nation's monolithic armed forces, The Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) continued the Sino practice of wearing breast and sleeve identification patches. Departing from the variance of patches worn by China's diverse militaries of the past, the new patches would be standardized in graphic design and method of wear. Of China's new patches, none would be more iconic than that of the Chinese People's Volunteer Army (CPVA, also abbreviated CPV for Chinese People's Volunteers).
The Chinese Central Military Commission's and Chinese People's Volunteer Army's General Political Departments approved the patch after the Korean Armistice Agreement was signed in July 1953, with an in-country start of wear date of October 19th that year for those still present in North Korea or those deploying as part of the reconstruction effort–the wear date intentionally made on the anniversary of the Chinese entering the war. CPVA personnel in China started wearing the patch immediately after the approval as stock of the patch became available.
Though the first version of the patch was made and issued in 1951, it wasn't worn due to the concerns of security and avoidance of officially implicating the PLA's as participants in the war. The first row of the patches' reverse lists the military department information and for the 51 series of patches this was often the (PLA) Ministry of Defense. Again, any items bearing the PLA's August 1st logo or naming any PLA department were required to remain in China. No patches were produced domestically in 1952, but new series were made from 1953-55. Subsequent patches would use a numerical code for security reasons when completing the military department section of the patch.
Chinese entering Korea from 1950-51 were issued the 51 series patch. Those entering in 52 had to wait until the 53-55 series patches were created and issued. On an extremely limited basis were new patches beyond these dates created, and those were exclusively for the delegation representing the CPV at Panmunjom.
Those CPVA members, to include non-Chinese such as Soviet technicians, airmen, and medical staff, who served in North Korea throughout the reconstruction period until 1958 were authorized wear of the patch. Likewise, members of the Chinese delegation to the Panmunjom Truce Committee continued to wear the patch long after China had ended her assistance mission to Korea.
Soviet personnel with the CPV air forces, c.1950's. They are wearing the Type 50 family of uniforms, to include the Chinese version of the Russian "Gymnastyorka" tunic.
Wear of the patch by any Chinese official was discontinued on 1 May, 1985. On 15 December, 1994 the CPV delegation was disbanded and production of official CPV insignia ceased.
CPV delegates at Panmunjom, c. 1960's. They are wearing Type 65 uniforms.
CPV delegates in 1985, wearing Type 85 uniforms. Wear of the CPVA patch has been discontinued.
The biggest take away if collecting the patch is to ensure it is written in traditional Chinese (中國人民志願軍) and not simplified Chinese (中国人民志愿军) as some reproductions are, especially surplus from some TV/film productions.
Collectors may want to try and find an example from each year, though securing post 1950's dated patches will be difficult as those were only produced for the CPV delegation. I absolutely would not spend more than US$50 on any deadstock patch, barring any personalized nuances that may increase its value.
CPV veterans attending the October 1, 1953 "National Day Returning Ceremony for the Triumphant Delegation in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea" in Beijing.
The patch was absolutely not worn by any member of the CPV, in theater, during hostilities though frequently they are sold as being "captured."
A final note on CPV insignia that needs to be repeated. During the war, CPV uniforms were supposed to be sanitized. The Type 50 uniforms worn throughout the war already had plain faced buttons yet factory ink stamps and production tags inside the garments often remained and no cap badges were worn. The PLA, and thus the CPV, during this period did not have a system of ranks and rank insignia therefore no "captured Korean War CPV rank insignia" exists as there weren't any to be captured. Likewise, the Type 50 canteen of the period was painted with the PLA August 1st star and was supposed to be removed either by scratching it off or painting over it. Of all Chinese pieces, the canteen would be one item that for whatever reasons, could be found with the PLA logo still present.
China introduced it's new rank and branch of service insignia with the Type 55 family of uniforms, and its notions were embellished with the August 1st emblem. All regular PLA uniform buttons and cap badges would now feature the August 1st mark, whereas buttons and badges produced for the CPV would continue to be plain faced until CPV items were discontinued in 1994. This will be elaborated on in a future post.

Media Release: Labor's plan to support Mid North Coast classrooms
10.50am | May 16, 2016
Regional TAFEs like Port Macquarie have fewer students and less money, figures show.
After sustaining two years of cuts totalling $2.5 billion, including a $1 billion cut to apprentices and apprenticeship support, the Turnbull Government has axed another $247 million from skills and training and failed to introduce any new initiatives to help people get the qualifications they need to access quality jobs and long-term careers.
The Abbott and Turnbull governments' previous $1 billion cuts to apprentice programs have hit hard. Across Australia in September 2013 there were 417,700 apprentices in training. Two years later, in September 2015, that had fallen to 295,300 apprentices in training.
Visiting Port Macquarie TAFE today, Labor Candidate for Cowper, Damian Wood, said: "The Liberals have completely ignored the cries from industry, workers and the community by refusing to invest in the skills of our future workforce."
Peak bodies such as the Australian Industry Group have been clearly telling the government:
"Apprentices provide vital skills to key parts of our economy. Without urgent and meaningful intervention, the apprenticeship system in Australia will continue to underperform and fail to deliver for business and the community."
Innes Willox, AiGroup Chief Executive, 14 April 2016
Senator Jenny McAllister said: "The vocational education sector has been severely damaged by the explosion in abuses and waste under the VET FEE-HELP scheme due to mismanagement by the Abbott/Turnbull governments. It needs urgent action and the best this Government can do in this Budget is throw $10 million at an information program."
"This Budget, the Liberals have refused to invest in apprentices and trainees – instead they prefer an inferior internship model that doesn't provide meaningful training. For all their talk about transitioning economies, innovation and jobs of the future they have completely failed to invest in a critical enabling sector – vocational education and training."

Bryn Mawr Hospital, a member of Main Line Health's Lankenau Heart Institute, is the first in Pennsylvania to offer adult patients with moderate to severe central sleep apnea with the newly approved remede® System, a breakthrough treatment that has been shown to improve sleep, breathing and quality of life.
Patients who are suffering from central sleep apnea can experience many symptoms, including excessive daytime sleepiness, reduced exercise capacity, hypoxia (decrease in blood oxygen level), and irregular or very fast heart rhythms (arrhythmia). Studies have shown that untreated central sleep apnea is a significant contributor to lowered quality of life and contributes to poor cardiovascular outcomes such as worsening heart failure.
The remede® System stimulates a nerve in the chest—the phrenic nerve—to send signals to the diaphragm, the large muscle that controls breathing. These signals stimulate breathing in the same way that the brain would. The system is placed by a cardiologist during a minimally invasive outpatient procedure. The procedure typically takes an average of two to three hours and is performed under light sedation. Most patients are able to go home after a one-night stay in the hospital.
"Offering this new treatment option to patients with sleep apnea—a large population of patients in need of relief—truly reflects our commitment to advance cardiovascular care in our communities and throughout the Philadelphia region and beyond," says William Gray, MD, chief of cardiovascular diseases at Lankenau Heart Institute, part of Main Line Health.
The remede System received U.S. Food and Drug Administration approval in October of 2017 and is commencing market release of the system in the United States at select hospitals.
Respicardia is a private medical technology company dedicated to improving the lives of patients by developing implantable therapies designed to improve respiratory and cardiovascular health. The company's initial product, the remede System, is an implantable neurostimulation system designed to restore a more normal breathing pattern during sleep for moderate to severe central sleep apnea adult patients.


After a long clip of consumer celibacy, I decided to hit up Newegg and splurge and drop a grand on the mother of all monitors, even though I'm already living beyond my means, according to my tax guy.
Days went by, no package. Usually things show up from Newegg the next day on free shipping. Uh oh.
So I pull up the UPS tracking page: My precious monitor went to NYC! I once lived in NYC, now I'm in Connecticut. No call or forwarding of the package from a good Samaritan in my old building. That baby's gone.
Listen, if it were you the reader who snatched it, enjoy, and at the least get a video card that can handle its 4096×2160 60hz resolution, okay buddy?
Wow. I love you Newegg, and you too Vivian Z. In joyful celebration, I just ordered a joystick from you. Oh, and some wifi antennas, always wondered if they did anything.

Tandem architectures using organic/inorganic hybrid semiconductors are a promising strategy to overcome the Shockley–Queisser limit of single-junction (SJ) solar cells as already demonstrated in III–V compound semiconductors. Here, we present a highly-efficient dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC)/silicon (Si) monolithic tandem cell by utilizing PEDOT:FTS as an interfacial catalytic layer, which has higher transparency and lower charge-transfer resistance compared to conventional Pt. In addition, the amount of dye adsorbed on the surface of TiO2 nanoparticles is fine-tuned for precise current matching between the two sub-cells. Based on these rational approaches, the DSSC/Si tandem cell exhibited a much higher power-conversion efficiency (PCE) of 17.2% compared to the stand-alone SJ devices of DSSCs (−11.4%) or Si (−12.3%) cells. The PCE of the best tandem cell is 18.1%. To the best of our knowledge, our tandem cell has a record-high PCE among all tandem cells involving DSSCs and also the highest improvement of PCE among all tandem cells based on dissimilar photovoltaic materials. The 2-terminal DSSC/Si tandem solar cells exhibit a high Voc value of 1.36 V. The DSSC/Si tandem solar cells are externally connected to a Pt electro-catalyst for use as water splitting cells. Solar-to-hydrogen conversion was accomplished at 0.65 V vs. Pt bias. We expect that a tandem architecture based on organic–inorganic hybrid materials can provide a promising way to realize low-cost and high-efficiency photovoltaic devices for solar cells and hydrogen generation.


Writing this review almost 20 years after it was released, my view of it has changed nary a bit. Now with kids myself– it is on a repeated cycle in my home. I enjoyed it then, and I enjoy it now.
For those unaware, the story takes place in the fictional city of Monstropolis, the city where all the monsters live, and two best friends James P "Sully" Sullivan, a giant bear shaped monster, and Mike Wazowski, a much smaller cyclops, both live and work together. Their job is to harness the screams from the children, as children's screams harness power that runs the city. Sully is on his way to being the gaining the scare record, and being the most successful scarer in the history of the company. His main rival, is the chameleon Randall – who is determined to beat Sully.
The way that the monsters collect the screams is in itself is both clever in not only the set-up of the world; the doors are placed in a magical device on a factory floor, which leads directly into a child's room, that every child's door is available to them, and that monsters are more afraid of us, believing human beings to be toxic and extremely dangerous.
The main plot of the story is one night, Sully finds a door on the scare floor (put there by Randall) and inadvertently lets in a human girl. After she is stuck in their world, they are tasked with trying to get her back home, with many obstacles in the way, and must discover new aspects of their friendship when it is truly tested.
It is a very light-hearted tale about how opinions of certain things might be completely wrong, and how once we have all the right information, they can be swayed.
This is a very enjoyable movie for the young and the old, and even though I have watched it dozens of times, I still enjoy it. It might be slightly scary for the very young children (after all there are monsters involved, and there are a few baddies who appear quite scary at times). Obviously as the movie was released in 2001, there are some obvious areas where the CGI has become quite dated, but it still holds.
Hey Everyone – if you have a movie at all that you would like me to review, please leave a reply, or drop me an email.

S.A.U.L. 4th Year: De Rerum Natura / In the Manner Of
By Gerard Carty, Elizabeth Hatz and Fionn O'Leary
In the Autumn of 2019, tutors Elizabeth Hatz and Gerard Carty visited the Drawing Matter archive with their fourth-year students from the School of Architecture and the University of Limerick (SAUL). Below is a record of their visit and its place in the context of the fourth-year studio.
Tutors interested visiting the archive or collaborating with Drawing Matter can find more information, here.

Elizabeth Hatz: De Rerum Natura
An obsession with drawing is the fuel for architectural thinking and acting. Drawing is beyond, and in anticipation of making – but perhaps, at times, equivalent to it. Drawing is Form. Thinking is Form. Form is a stance to being. Facing architecture in the Anthropocene gradually erodes the understanding of the city and nature as two separate entities. We are well beyond resorting to simplifying dichotomies, finding ourselves inside an intricate weave of interdependencies instead. Every act has a consequence on every other act, minor or major, for life on earth. Architectural culture is totally entangled in the process, whether ready to acknowledge it or not.
This shift will imply a whole set of changes to what we have taken for granted and will probably cause a 180-degree turn in how we even comprehend value and time. Worshiping speed will change into an appreciation of slowness, and the celebration of newness into a care for repair, re-use and longevity. Inventive creativity will lie in alteration and re-working, rather than in quests for originality. The routine use of artificial light will be replaced by the intelligent celebration of daylight, and respect for water will replace the wasteful tapping of natural systems. Above all, a gradual awareness of the power of butterfly wings, will urge thinking about the weight of permanence, the persistence of architecture and the material obduracy of place. Drawing is a way of slowing time, of observing, sensing, musing, nurturing, provoking and speculating.
The idea of progress, as we have understood it, has been drastically altered and the upcoming situation can hardly be handled just through new technologies or green economies, but will above all require celebrating cultural richness and social inclusiveness. Educating, tending, caring, reflecting, musing, reading, cultivating, walking, observing, recuperating, collecting, altering will be far more relevant verbs than producing, consuming, keeping the wheels spinning, wasting. The idea of economy and the idea of work will face up to their most fundamental challenges. The most direct way of entering this new era as an architect, is by taking time – to observe, to read, to reflect and to draw, draw, draw, draw.

EH: In the Manner of
In the autumn of 2019, students at the School of Architecture at the University of Limerick, Ireland, were asked to choose a drawing by one of the following authors:
Leonardo da Vinci, Florian Beigel and Philip Christou, Superstudio/Adofo Natalini, Alberto Ponis, Shin Egashira, François Soufflot le Romain, Cassius Goldsmith, Walter Pichler, George Cook, Peter Märkli, Edward Blore, Marie-José Van Hee, Tony Fretton, Aldo Rossi, John Hejduk, Alexander Brodsky, Claude Lorrain, Gio Ponti, Lina Bo Bardi, Mario Sironi.
The students were asked to get the drawing printed on thick off-white paper and to pin it up in front of their desks. In the Manner of this drawing, we asked the students to 'portray' the Nature of the Grounds at Cleeve's, an abandoned former flax factory in in the centre of the city of Limerick, addressing its rooms, borders, hills, waters, structures, traces, trajectories, trees, shadows, lines, proportions, characters, walls, vegetation, contraptions, and so on. They were asked to enter a state of obsession in order to keep both overview (helps to see and structure) and close contact with the subject (necessary to make a 'portrait'). In addition to the drawings represented in the list, we recommended to investigate further to see other works by the same artist.
Fionn O'Leary: In the Manner Of Superstudio
Upon initial submersion into the architectural qualities of the post industrialisation at Cleeve's Factory, Limerick, what became apparent was the versatility of space and how dereliction allowed nature to re-occupy the site. Taking inspiration from Superstudio's drawing (below) I was left with the idea of representing the site as a series of built-up layers. I think this concept accurately portrayed the atmosphere of Cleeve's.
Hand drawn on a thick cream watercolour paper, the drawing is built up by the following sequence of layers:
The ground – each crack and crevasse formed in the carpet like pattern of cast in-situ concrete is represented by
various shades of graphite.
The vegetation – the evolution of time is visible throughout the site. We see nature grappling to find space to thrive. It is striking to see how much space has been reclaimed forming a rich untouched, bio-diverse microclimate.
The infrastructure – the astonishing buildings facing you upon entering the site take centre stage. The drawing portrays them as the darkest elements displaying how powerful they are.
The topography – demonstrated through an array of section lines, a sense of scale is created.
Superstudio, Competition design, plan of Fortezza da Basso, Florence, 1967. Pencil on thin paper, 990 × 1235 mm. DMC 2211.6. A super-light techno-aesthetic in thin, hard lines, is here inserted into the massive weight of the fort, hand-drawn as a hatched field with tacit qualities, and amplifying the parasitical infiltration of new infrastructural interventions into a rock-like body, once just as instrumental and engineered in its own military way. There is a way of seeing this not just as a drawing of a building with and alteration, but as two mutually complementing and competing landscape-infrastructures that shape a kind of new nature of its own. – EH

Gerard Carty : The Drawing Matter archive, an impression
Drawing Matter is a world within a world, located in the middle of a farm in Somerset, the world of drawing, archiving, storing, managing overlap with worlds of making, constructing, crafting of materials and, of course, farming.
A cluster of buildings, not altogether conventional nor homogenous, gather in a shallow valley before it spills out into open countryside.
Fionn O'Leary (SAUL), Section, Drawing Matter Archive, Shatwell Farm, 2019.
Interventions here are deliberate, evaluated, poised, waiting, the next move informed by the last, or by a previous one, or two, or perhaps even more paces back from the present, always in flux, always responding, the decisions about each intervention carefully evaluated, until a point where it becomes sure, necessary.
The archive sits as silent witness to this change and busyness in the world that embraces it.
Time is material here, felt deeply in constructions, like characters pressed up together in a huddle, in dialogue, in communication, agreeing, arguing, above all in a state of change.
Time is material in the archive, compressed, expanded. Drawings of Lebas, Barry, Labrouste, Giles Gilbert Scott, rub shoulders with Ponis, Pichler, Natalini/Superstudio, Fretton, Siza.
Being present on the farm brings us close to nature and climate, we are inside, we are outside, sometimes we are at many points between these two extremes, enclosed in the body of the archive, cut away, removed, or eating outside under cover of an open shed.
The functions of living dictated by this place are urgent, minimal, enough that we are confronted with questions about how we inhabit, should inhabit, connecting more to the outside in the world, more open less hermetic.
Drawings are material things here, a currency, relatable one to one, the human hand sifting, folding, turning, the eye roving, examining, bending, telescoping.
It is by being here, we understand, for example, that drawings of Superstudio display their conception, in contrast to their perceived superhuman message, a mechanical, abstract world, betrayed by a hand still wedded to craft and making, still expressing the need for the human in a world described as almost remote from human scale.
These feelings can only be provoked by being present, grounding oneself here, spending three days with our students in the changeable autumn weather, reaffirming our commitment to the importance of drawing in the making and realisation of ideas necessary for architecture.

select * from CommentTable where (@Type is null or CommentTable.Type=@Type) and (@ParentID is null or CommentTable.ParentID=@ParentID)
end

In this case, I introduced Type and ParentID as non-cluster index for CommentTable. When I run the code, I see the Execution plan using a Index Scan instead of a Index Seek for getting result that causes SQL to need to read whole pages. And apparently I can not use the non-cluster indexing benefits.
As I have figured out so far, if the variable is used in the search term, this problem occurs, and if the direct amount of the where clues  is not used, the problem does not arise and it works correctly (index Seek).
Please advise you on how to use the non-cluster index benefits to handle it
Here exception plane as example, as you see written index scan instead of index Seek

A: What way do you have your indexes? What column and that is under each index? I would assume you haven't indexed correctly or in a way that best suits your query as sql automatically uses the best and most efficient search when ran.

DORDEDUH release lyric video 'Descânt'
DORDEDUH release lyric video 'Descânt' as second single taken from the new album "Har"
DORDEDUH have released a beautiful lyric video for the track 'Descânt' ("Disenchantment") as the second single taken from their sensational forthcoming album "Har" ("Gifted"), which has been scheduled for release on May 14, 2021.
'Descânt' demonstrates the impressive stylistic range that DORDEDUH have achieved on "Har". Captivating yet powerful, dark but irresistible, this track is a revelation. The lyric video comes with English subtitles that make the band's complex, multi-layered Romanian poetry accessible to the world.
The video 'Descânt' is now available via the following link: https://youtu.be/0hdiNCte3a4

DORDEDUH comment: "We are glad to provide translations for our lyrics for the first time, starting today with the lyric video of our song 'Descânt', which means 'disenchantment'", writes frontman Edmond "Hupogrammos" Karban. "All the translated lyrics from our new album 'Har' will be made available on our website soon. It was a real challenge to make these translations work. We did not only need to ensure that the real meaning of the words and the message behind them would not get lost in translation, but we wanted to capture at least a small portion of the poetical dimension that our original lyrics have in the Romanian language. We are aware that something always is left out in such a process, but we will not allow this to overshadow our pleasure to transmit our core message to you."

With their sophomore full-length, "Har", Romania's DORDEDUH have created a rare and unique metal record that defies easy categorisation, pushes boundaries, and offers something new and previously unheard. Dropping names of such game changing artists as FAITH NO MORE, CELTIC FROST, and DEVIN TOWNSEND is by no means intended as a musical comparison, but rather used to indicate the astonishing level of innovation offered by "Har". Based on previous experience, guitarists and founders Edmond "Hupogrammos" Karban and Sol Faur aka Cristian Popescu were expected to deliver an album oscillating in the musical space between dark folk and black metal. And, while they did indeed draw from those sources, they also fearlessly incorporated electronic, gothic, rock, psychedelic, prog, and even pop elements without prejudice. This open-minded approach resulted in a stunning artistic achievement, from the fierce and epic opening track 'Timpul întâilor' to the catchy 'Descânt' to percussive interludes like 'Calea magilor' and cinematic blockbusters such as 'Vraci de nord'. "Har" stubbornly resists any attempt of an easy stylistic categorisation. Each song has its own distinct personality, but all are tied together by DORDEDUH walking an artistic left-hand path. A lurking sense of occult mystery and underlying darkness permeate even the most joyful moments on "Har". It is not the first time that Hupogrammos and Sol Faur have been involved in creating an iconic album. Both had leading roles in composing of NEGURĂ BUNGET's masterpiece "Om", which essentially put Romania onto the map of heavy music. After an acrimonious split, the duo from the city of Timișoara founded DORDEDUH and delighted critics and fans alike with the EP "Valea omului" (2010) and debut full-length "Dar de duh" (2012). Beyond the obvious point of lyrics in the musical Romanian language, the native element also hides in DORDEDUH's melodies and rhythms as well as in subtle touches of traditional instrumentation. The effect easily compares to the often unnoticed way SYSTEM OF A DOWN have organically incorporated traditional Armenian music into their sound. Despite a strong presence, those regional components will only reveal themselves to connoisseurs of Caucasian – or in the case of DORDEDUH, Carpathian – folk. Yet at no time such knowledge of traditional ingredients is needed to fully enjoy or become immersed in their work. The remarkable production of "Har" is another factor in making the album special. Although Hupogrammos is an experienced sound engineer, DORDEDUH entrusted mixing and mastering to celebrated producer Jens Bogren, renowned for his singular approach and impact on the work of major artists including OPETH, DIMMU BORGIR, KATATONIA, MOONSPELL, DEVIN TOWNSEND, and IHSAHN. The Swede proved to be an excellent choice, and he brought this dark diamond to perfect brilliance. Beyond the music, DORDEDUH created "Har" as a journey into the unknown. The Romanians offer their songs to connect listeners with a cosmic heritage buried deep in the subconscious, guiding an aural journey into the collective memories encapsulated within. According to Hupogrammos, "the title of the album could be translated as grace, talent, or as being gifted in the divine sense". "Har" is a milestone – and not just for Romanian metal.DORDEDUH have taken an artistic quantum leap that promises to be recognized as one of the finest and most individual metal albums of the year, and perhaps even the decade.

Law student kills himself, leaves video accusing friends of harassment | noida
A 20-year-old law student allegedly killed himself at his house in Shastri Nagar and left behind a video on his mobile in which he accused four of his friends of harassing him.
The police, on the basis of a complaint lodged by the student's father, has registered a case for abetting suicide against the four.
According to his family, 20-year-old Vipin Verma was found hanging at his house at Shastri Nagar on the evening of July 11. The incident took place around 5pm when none of the family members was present at home. They later rushed him to a private hospital in Kavi Nagar where he was declared dead, the family said.
Vipin was a 3rd-year student and was enrolled in a five-year integrated law programme at a private college in Ghaziabad.
"We informed the police immediately about the incident and they said that an autopsy would be conducted. They also asked us if we knew the reason behind the extreme step but we could not say anything at that time. After we came home, Vipin's older brother found his mobile phone which was unlocked. There was a video on the phone which Vipin probably recorded before the suicide. In the video, he had named four of his friends and accused them of harassing him since June 14. We have given the mobile phone to police for investigation," Vijay Kumar, Vipin's brother in law, said.
The police, on the basis of a complaint by Vipin's father, lodged an FIR under section 306 (abetting suicide) of the Indian Penal Code and named four persons, mentioned in the video as suspects.
"We have called all the four suspects for questioning and have not arrested anyone so far. One of the suspects, who is a class 12 girl student, told us that the Vipin had proposed her for marriage three or four days ago but she had refused to marry him. The statements of the other three suspects will also be recorded," Shlok Kumar, superintendent of police (city), said.
"In the video, the Vipin named four persons and also asked his sister not to get saddened and take care of his mother. He also said his father took good care of him."
"The motive behind Vipin committing suicide is not very clear at present. We are taking up a detailed investigation and are questioning the four persons. No arrests have been made so far," Shlok Kumar, SP(city) added.
The police said that the four suspects are all students and aged between 17 to 20 years.
"The four were mentally harassing my son since June and Vipin had even informed my wife Bhagwati Devi about it. We had consoled him and told him that we will also speak to friends' parents and that she should concentrate on his studies. I even tried to meet the four friends them but could not. I spoke to then over the phone but they denied harassing my son. After this my son committed suicide and left behind the video," Virendra Kumar, Vipin's father, said.
Virendra is head constable and currently posted at Dhaulana in Hapur district. "We still don't know the reason which prompted Vipin to take such a drastic step. In the video, he has not mentioned any harassment due to caste-based comments nor did he mention caste-based discrimination in the past to us," he added.
"In case, it was a matter of a broken friendship with a girl or something of that sort, Vipin should have moved on and not taken such an extreme step," Vijay, Vipin's brother-in-law, said.

What would be the entry for 20 in this list?
 20 = ___ . . . ?
Please use and explain the simplest possible rule, not purely mathematical, that accounts for every equivalence from 0 to 99.
Because you gave us a list of equivalences which are more equal than others. So we can assume the remaining numbers are less equal and therefore only equal to themselves.
Because the rules are contrived so I can simply invent whatever I want for the rules that aren't given to me.
However, that did not explain 0 through 10. I could add a 'except for 1 through 10' to my rule, but that wasn't very satisfying.
For a number $n$ made of two digits $a$ and $b$, we have $n = a\cdot 10 + b$. If we say those are equivalent to $m=a\cdot 10 - b$, they are recursively equivalent to a lot of numbers. For example, $$97 = 9\cdot 10 + 7$$ $$9\cdot 10 - 7 = 83 = 8\cdot 10 + 3$$ $$8\cdot10 - 3 = 77 = 7\cdot 10 + 7$$ And so on: $97 \rightarrow 83 \rightarrow 77 \rightarrow 63 \rightarrow 57 \rightarrow 43 \rightarrow 37 \rightarrow \ldots$. This shows that numbers with a zero as second digit do not have any other equivalent numbers, as this process would not lead to any new numbers: $$20 = 2\cdot 10 + 0$$ $$2\cdot10 - 0 = 20$$ $20 \rightarrow 20 \rightarrow \ldots$. The only way I managed to explain $1,\ldots,9$ here is to explain you simply can't apply this process to those numbers, as they do not have two digits.
This doesn't work if you accept that 09 is a perfectly fine way of writing 9. So I'm still not very satisfied with this solution.
The rule (vertically) is: Line 1 + 1, then Line 2 - 1, and so on.

Auction Recap: RM Sotheby's Monterey 2018
by Andrew Newton //
The 2018 RM Monterey sale produced the three most expensive British cars, the second most expensive Ford GT40, and the most expensive car ever sold at auction, period.
Those of us in the car world—and many outside the car world, actually—had been anticipating the ($48.4 million) Ferrari 250 GTO consigned by RM Sotheby's for months, but Friday's portion of RM's two-day sale was mostly about Aston Martin DP215, the last thoroughbred Aston racer of the David Brown era. After a polished video presentation, the DP215 roared onto the stage to applause and attracted numerous bids in the kind of increments that would normally buy you a nice house. It finally changed hands at $21,455,000. That slots in behind the $21.78M achieved by the 1956 Le Mans-winning Jaguar D-Type sold here in 2016 and the $22.55M commanded by the 1956 Aston Martin DBR1 here last year, making the DP215 the third most expensive car to hail from the UK.
Almost as exciting, even if it wasn't as expensive, was the Holman-Moody Ford GT40 that finished third at Le Mans in 1966, which sold for $9,795,000 including commission. That makes it the second most expensive GT40 ever sold at auction, after the Gulf-liveried Le Mans movie camera car that also sold here in 2012 for $11M. Other highlights of the night were the 2013 Pebble Beach Best in Show-winning 1934 Packard Twelve Convertible Victoria by Dietrich at $3,745,000, and a 2014 LaFerrari sold for $3,305,000, with proceeds going to the College for Creative Studies in Detroit.

1966 Ford GT40 Mk II Coupe
Day two was the climax of the auction week, with almost all the other sales having concluded and all eyes on the Monterey Portola. There were gems like an ultra-rare 1998 Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR that sold for $4,515,000 (a record price for the model) and a gorgeous Porsche 550A Spyder that sold for $4.9M, but the word on everybody's lips on Saturday was "GTO," and the room was filled a full hour before the Ferrari racer even drove onto the block.
After a brief introduction by five-time Le Mans winner Derek Bell, the car was finally up for grabs. There wasn't a flurry of million-dollar bids and frantic arm waving as some may have hoped for, but the pool of people with deep enough pockets for a $50M race car is a little on the small side, so the handful of methodical bidders makes sense. All-in, the car sold for $48,405,000, about $10M more than the previous all-time record set by a somewhat less-storied GTO four years ago.
Bigger picture: 124 of the 150 lots offered sold successfully for an 83-percent sell-through rate, and overall total for the night amounted to $157.6M, with an average sale price of $1,270,903. This is $24.8M ahead of last year, although 34 more cars were offered this time around. The few big misses of the auction were mostly high-dollar Ferraris, with the most significant being a 1953 250 MM hammering at $7.4M, a 1954 Vignale-bodied 375 America at $3.2M, and a genuine 1960 250 GT SWB Alloy Comp car that was hurt by its lack of original engine and hammered at $8.45M.
