The successful completion of the restoration of a classic car is an experience which few people ever know. It is certainly rewarding and for many the accomplishment of a life long dream. With that said, however, there is one issue which can definitely make accomplishing that goal very difficult if not impossible. The culprit in question is rust and especially deep rust problems. This problem can be avoided during the period when an enthusiast is evaluating a potential car for the their restoration project by simply thoroughly inspecting the car in question for rust issues.
Make sure you take the time to look everywhere and not just in the obvious places where rust can develop. For example, look in the trunk and remove whatever you must to inspect the floor. Next, check under the floor board carpeting if any exists. You may discover that there are no rust issues or you may discover that the floorboards have completely rotted through. Also, take a look in the wheel wells which is another place where rust can occur. In the final analysis, if the car that you're considering has excessive problems with rust it may be wiser to simply continue the hunt for a car that is more suitable for your restoration project.

Not sure if the lane departure works ? It lights up on the button panel but doesn't do anything.
What sort of lamps you got?
If you have xenons, then you'll get the trademark 4 spot illumination in each light.
Lane assist will " croak" at you and vibrate a bit when you go over a white line without indicating - it won't correct the steering as other brands might.
I think I have halogens, def don't have the four little leds.
...maybe the dlrs are the lower spots on the halogen type light?.....can't say for sure as my first had xenons and current has LED.
The information below is taken from the 2015 brochure but I think it's still correct.
Daytime running lights are standard on all models. On cars with halogen headlights, this function is implemented by the inner headlight.
The SD has been a very popular model, do search out the DPF issues that some owners have suffered from and ensure your drive profile minimises the risk of the dreaded limp home mode.
I've got a Mazda reputed to have DPF problems; drive it like you stole it and you'll be fine IME.
I predominantly do very short journeys.


Let me add my voice to those quite happy with the 50th Anniversary James Bond film, SKYFALL. Director Sam Mendes admirably helms Daniel Craig's third time at bat, as the iconic James Bond.
Mendes, who is not known as an Action Director, but rather a maker of intimate and off kilter little films (such as AMERICAN BEAUTY and AWAY WE GO) rises to the occasion here with a film filled with tension and at times literally jaw dropping action set pieces.
From cars to trains to helicopters to subways, Daniel Craig's Bond gets everything thrown at him, sometimes literally. However the film is more than blowing things up, it's a tighter script and a more coherent and identifiable motivation for Bond's nemesis this time out than is usually the case in Bond's menagerie of outlandish villains.
Played compellingly and hauntingly by Javier Bardem, Bond's nemesis this time out seeks not Sattellite transmission rights, or orbital based weapons, nor voodoo mastery of the world… he seeks vengeance. And not long into the film, you're not sure he doesn't deserve it. Which is why I hesitate to call Javier Bardem's Silva a villain. He is a dark mirror of a Bond who has given too much and too often to his country, and been left out in the cold one time too often and too deeply.
I found myself while not condoning Silva's actions, understanding of the motivations that drive them. And distinctly aware of Silva as a cautionary tale to Bond; 'there but for the grace of God' as the saying goes.
And the complexity of character extends throughout the cast, from Daniel Craig's always impressive turn as Bond, to Judi Dench celebrating her 17th year playing M (4 films with Pierce Brosnan and 3 films with Daniel Craig)by having one of her best written and most significant roles as the character; to impressive moments by Ralph Fiennes, Naomie Harris, and Ben Whishaw as Q.
While not a perfect film, the film manages to feel long in the tooth at times, but even in those moments it is never less than beautiful to look at. Filled with nods to the half century of Bond's filmic history, unevenness and all, Mendes manages to merge winter blockbuster with intimate drama, to create a film that is ultimately memorable and re-watchable.
Is it the best Bond film? No. It doesn't even sport a particularly memorable or imaginative title sequence, but it is a very good Bond film, arguably in the top ten, and is a film, I think people can revisit often and well.
Grade: B+. Strongly Recommended to see in theaters, and a must own on DVD or Bluray.
For the first time, eleven of Bond's most thrilling and dangerous missions appear in a single volume: Casino Royale, Live and Let Die, Moonraker, Diamonds are Forever, From Russia With Love, Dr. No, Goldfinger, Risico, From a View to a Kill, For Your Eyes Only and Thunderball!
With an introduction by Sir Roger Moore, this huge volume features beautiful women, thrilling action, incredible gadgets and the odd Vodka Martini, shaken not stirred… this ultimate collection of Bond's best is not to be missed!
The daring James Bond is back in a definitive bumper edition collecting the first period of Jim Lawrence's celebrated run in comic strip form! Includes seven of Bond's most thrilling and dangerous missions: The Harpies, River of Death, The Golden Ghost, Fear Face, Double Jeopardy, Starfire and Kingley Amis' controversial post-Fleming story, Colonel Sun.
These three volumes add up to nearly a 1000 pages of British James Bond Comic Strip goodness! And at the price they are going for it is a no-brainer. Snap up your copies today, as they are showing a tendency for selling out, and then the price goes up. I don't even consider myself a James Bond fan, and I have to have these books.

Viennese coffee house culture is renowned the world over, but coffee houses did not begin there. In Mecca, there were several coffee houses in the 12th century, while Europe's first coffee shop opened in Venice, closely followed by London. It was 1683 before the first Viennese coffee house opened its doors. Since then Vienna has established an unparalleled coffee house tradition.
In 1683, the Ottoman invaders made a hasty retreat from the Battle of Vienna, leaving behind them sack loads of coffee beans at the city gates.The Armenian spy Diodato, who served at the Imperial court and knew the secrets of roasting and brewing the dark beans, seized his opportunity and opened the first coffee shop there. The Viennese soon developed a taste for coffee!
But the early establishments were little more than dingy basements. They had little in common with the sophisticated places with their red velvet chairs and ostentatious chandeliers that we now see as being the 'traditional' Viennese coffee-house. In the dark basements though, traditions began which survive to this day: card games, chess and billiards were played and waiters served a glass of water with every cup of coffee. In 1720, the Kramersches Kaffehause began putting out newspapers for its patrons.
In 1808, Napoleon's Continental Blockade of England had a knock on effect for Austria, where the price of coffee beans rose sharply. Café restaurants serving alcohol and food allowed coffee house owners to diversify, offering cheaper alternatives to coffee in order to avoid bankruptcy. But by 1815, coffee house culture was alive again and had become symbolic of good quality living. In Vienna's first district, typically the rooms were bright and spacious with darker recesses where men sat reading their newspapers debating loudly on matters of politics and art. Women weren't allowed to frequent the coffee houses until 1856! They were places of conversation, of fleeting movement and social encounters.
Around 1890, Café Griensteidl became the meeting place for a group of young writers, Jung Wein. Arthur Schnitzier, Felix Salten and Richard Beer-Hofmann were among some of its patrons. It also became the favourite meeting place for a number of actors, lawyers and psychoanalysts. The writers of Café Griendsteil, mostly from liberal Jewish families are celebrated as the founders of modern Viennese literature.
Artists of the Secession such as Gustav Klimt and Egon Schiele, Court Opera, and Theatre an der Wein preferred the Café Museum. The café was designed by Adolf Loos and was famous for its purist interior and cool ambiance.
But working Viennese people, who mostly lived in small flats began using elegant coffee houses as places to meet friends and listen to music. They became extensions to their pokey living rooms, places of entertainment and pleasure. During the depression of the 1930's, contraband goods were traded under the tables.
In 1938, the Nazis seized several Jewish owned coffee houses in Vienna's second district and beyond. They had been a second home for many Jewish artists a lively counterpart to the grand coffee houses in the first district.
These days Vienna still has a thriving coffee house tradition, places where locals can linger over a single cup while the world outside rushes by, where those of us with a sweet tooth can order a slice of Wiener Apfelstrudel or sachetorte, trade gossip, read write, laugh and love.

We review the post-apocalyptic thriller, Rumors of Wars. With a gripping and intense plot, we were kept on the edge of our seat until the very end! While we have a couple of gripes with the structure and segregated story lines, we really enjoyed this movie and would highly recommend it.
This is an intense thriller, with a lot of action and suspense. Rumors of Wars is sure to keep you interested and engaged, and the story is well thought out and enjoyable. This film tells a what-if story. What if in the near future, the world begins changing, unifying into a one-world government, under one power and order? The world begins to show a lot of signs of the end times in this film, drawing heavily from Matthew 24:6 in its rumors of wars theme.
We've seen a lot of movies release over the past few years featuring a utopian society, with a controlling and oppressive government and it's fascinating to watch a film of that genre from a Christian perspective. These are some big issues currently as we see our entire world beginning to change. What do we do if the end times come upon us? What does that look like and what should we do to fight back?
It's easy to chock this movie up to hyperbole or merely watch this as a fun and unrealistic idea of the future. However, I do think it's worth taking the time to consider where we stand should our society begin to crumble. Will we embrace the father or deny him should the worst come to worst?
As a thriller, though, this movie excels and if you're looking for an action-packed and heart-pounding experience, I would recommend you watch Rumors of Wars!
This movie has some objectionable content, mostly dealing with violence. There are several shooting and action scenes, and a few instances of language, normally coming from the non-believers or "the alliance". We like to follow the Dove Foundation which rates this movie for ages 12 and up.

Young Blues — второй студийный альбом американского джазового органиста Ларри Янга. Альбом записан 30 сентября 1960 года, спустя менее чем два месяца после записи Testifying, на студии Руди Ван Гелдера в Энглвуд Клиффс, Нью-Джерси. В названии альбома, который открывается одноимённой композицией, лежит своеобразная игра слов, указывающая на фамилию музыканта, но также означающая и «молодой блюз» — на момент записи Ларри Янгу только исполнилось 20 лет.

Особенности
В ансамбле с Ларри играют гитарист Торнел Шварц (Thornel Schwartz) и барабанщик Джимми Смит (Jimmie Smith, не путать с органистом Джимми Смитом), которые участвовали и в записи Testifying. Также к трио присоединился контрабасист Венделл Маршалл (Wendell Marshall). Это единственный среди альбомов Янга 1960-х годов с участием басиста — как правило, органист сам исполнял басовую линию при помощи ножной клавиатуры органа.

Отзывы
Allmusic поставил альбому 4½ из 5 баллов. Скотт Яноу назвал альбом «лучшим из раннего периода музыканта, прежде чем он совершенно отбросил влияние Джимми Смита».

Пользователи Rate Your Music оценили альбом в 3.74 из 5 баллов (20 оценок).

The Avett Brothers will headline a November concert to benefit Hurricane Florence relief efforts in their home state of North Carolina.
North Carolina natives the Avett Brothers are set to headline the Concert for Hurricane Florence Relief on November 13th at East Carolina University's Minges Coliseum in Greenville. Also appearing will be Future Islands and Valient Thorr, bands with roots and connections to eastern North Carolina.
Tickets for the concert, priced at $75 for lower level seats and $65 for upper level, will go on sale next Friday, October 12th at ecutickets.net and by phone at 800-DIAL-ECU (800-342-5328). All proceeds from the concert will be donated back to the people and organizations contributing to Hurricane Florence relief efforts.
Hurricane Florence is currently the sixth costliest hurricane in the U.S. since 1992, in terms of total estimated property damage, and has been responsible — directly or indirectly — for a total of 51 deaths. Thirty-nine of those fatalities occurred in North Carolina, making it the highest death toll of the four states most affected by the hurricane, which also include South Carolina, Florida and Virginia.
Seth Avett, along with brother and bandmate Scott, who is an ECU alumnus, recently performed on a song the former wrote called "Willie Got There First," a track recorded with western swing legends Asleep at the Wheel. The ode to Willie Nelson is featured on Asleep at the Wheel's New Routes LP, released last month.


Dodge Cummins Diesel Forum > 4th Generation 2010 and up 6.7 Liter Cummins > 2013+ General Discussion > Class V hitch/auto leveling air suspension?
Class V hitch/auto leveling air suspension?
I posted a question in towing/hauling section and didn't get the info I was looking for.
I would like to hear from people that have the air suspension and tow with a WDH. How do you properly set it up Step by step?
It seems like the air suspension is going to level the truck but at the same time so is a WDH so its confusing.
Also my hitch is a Class V hitch 6814077SAE. I can't find any specs at all. Anyone have info what the WC and WC/WDH is?
1. Position the truck to be ready to connect to the trailer (do not connect the trailer).
NOTE: Normal Ride Height (NRH) or Alternate Trailer Height (ATH) can be used. The vehicle must remain in the engine running position while attaching a trailer for proper leveling of the air suspension system. It may not be possible to enter Alternate Trailer Height (ATH) while lightly loaded.
2. Measuretheheightofthetopofthefrontwheelopening on the fender to ground, this is height H1.
3. Attach the trailer to the vehicle without the weight distribution bars connected.
4. Measuretheheightofthetopofthefrontwheelopening on the fender to ground, this is height H2.
5. Install and adjust the tension in the weight distributing bars per the manufacturers' recommendations so that the height of the front fender is approximately (H2-H1)/ 2+H1 (about 1/2 the difference between H2 and H1 above normal ride height [H1]).
6. Preform a visual inspection of the trailer and weight distributing hitch to confirm manufacturers' recommen- dations have been met.
^^ What rforestr said. Follow the manual and it should work out for you.
The biggest irritant for me was that you have to leave the truck running as you are setting it up, because the truck will try to return it to ride height after 10 minutes or so. So get everything put on correctly before you start doing the adjusting.
Biggest thing to watch for: when you put the weight on the truck, wait a few seconds because it will lift the rear end up. Don't get your hands between any pinch points. It will do it again after you remove the weight. Again, watch your hands.
What hitch and shank are you using?
For WC/WDH, it is 1200/1700 for the general numbers, but I read here that the 2018 goes up to 1800 with the WDH. Don't know your year.
EDIT: ah, 2014. Here. looks like 1700 for you. See note at the end.
I'm picking up the toy hauler tomorrow and the guy is giving me his setup that he was using so i'm exactly sure what he has yet.
So if i can understand this correctly- I will put my truck in ALT height mode and back up to the trailer, leave my truck running, and then lower the trailer on the truck. The truck will then level it's self back to the ALT height? then I would hook up my weight distribution hitch after it's leveled?
I would normally leave my trailer hooked up to the truck while I camp. Can I still do that if its in ALT height mode? Or will it adjust to normal after 10 minutes? What if you stop for lunch in the road?
With that light weight trailer, I wouldn't even use the WDH bars.
I would normally leave my trailer hooked up to the truck while I camp. Can I still do that if its in ALT height mode? Or will it adjust to normal after 10 minutes?
I had the Fastway E2 hitch with the longest drop 2.5" shank and had to use ALT mode. I then moved up to the Equalizer E4 for my new trailer. Same shank, but the hitch head sits lower, so I don't use ALT mode for it. So it will depend on the hitch.
First, follow the instructions of the hitch to attach to shank. This will determine how close hitch head height and coupler height are to each other. Truck should be running to make sure it's not leveling for parking. Keep truck running. You'll determine ALT height or not at this point.
Using truck manual as guide, do your front fender height measurement with the truck running and in ALT or not, depending on hitch head and coupler height.
Drop the trailer on the hitch and wait for the truck to auto rise. Measure front fender again.
Leave the truck running, in ALT as necessary (based on hitch head height and coupler height), and drop the tongue on the hitch. In a few seconds it will adjust. If it's like mine, you lock the coupler and raise the tongue high enough to get the spring bars on the L brackets. Once you install the bars, you then lower the tongue jack to put all the weight back on the truck. Truck will self adjust while you are doing this. Measure your front fender height at this point to see if adjustments are necessary.
Once you're adjusted, you follow the last paragraph above not including adjusting and you are good to go. Fine adjustments may be necessary later.
The manual makes it seem more confusing then it turns out it is.
I think it will stay in ALT mode until you turn it off manually.
The truck won't self adjust if you put it into tire jack mode.
But, you want the truck to auto adjust to ride height with the weight while getting the measurement. Won't tire jack mode present an incorrect height? I wouldn't use it doing the setup.
In that case yes. I disable it after hooking up, so I can use the tongue jack to lift a little to make getting the bars on easier.

The vast amount of products available today leaves the consumer with a great choice. What do you have to do to make sure that your product is chosen? De Bey Communicatie & Vormgeving has been working with HZPC for years on answering that question. At times even with award-winning success. What is the secret? InZpire talks to Peter de Bey, Manager, and Jurgen Steenwelle, responsible for strategy and design.
Jurgen Steenwelle explains: 'Packaging plays a crucial role, because the average consumer no longer pauses to think about which potato he is buying. When he walks past the shelf and sees the packaging, it should only take him 1 second to think: I'll buy that one.' Attention has to be drawn and interest aroused immediately. Do you know your target group well enough to do that?
Everyone is different and so too are their desires. A person's lifestyle, health, work, social network and how he sees himself all have an impact on the choices that are made. A wide range of perceptions therefore have to be taken into account when introducing a product to the market.
To create the right perception, it is important that you address the consumer personally with your product and tell him what the product can mean for him. The creative concept has to highlight the qualities of the product that are important to the consumer.
Peter de Bey mentions the new HZPC concept, 58 Potatoes. 'This potato with its uniquely low calorific value ties in well with the lifestyle of the consumer for whom this product has been developed: the young consumer that is conscious about his health and what he eats. This consumer wants pure products. 58 Potatoes has therefore been introduced to the market as a superfood. The qualities of this potato fit in with this consumer's perception, but now we have to tell him that.

It does not finish here, they even get a notification once their order has been confirmed and sent, and to boot have the capability to trace their order at each flip. every and each supply method has become school savvy.
If the customers weren't effectively spoilt for selections with the looking platforms, items, and insane discounts, they're going to likewise have the choice to select among supply companies to urge their freight by. there have been simply a bunch of eCommerce organizations providing this feature in 2017 nevertheless the trend goes to urge a hike in 2018. this might be the distinct advantage for supply organizations, as they'll no a lot of bears to be out of sight. they have to travel up against one another with differentiated, client-oriented administrations.
Also, the event of automation is unquestionably enhancing supply potency. Amazon has simply begun making an attempt various things with drones as another sort of speeded up delivery service and progressions in device technology have created self-driving vehicles a reality for 2017. These machine-controlled arrangements will probably grow security, reduce the likelihood, and essentially increment effectiveness.
Robots, not the least bit like machine-controlled machinery, area unit meant to play out many roles on promptly, creating their applications within the supply business for all intents and functions perpetual. this is often particularly valid for online business tasks, which require associate elevated level of speed and productivity to satisfy the quick development of online deals.
Amazon set the bar in 2012 once it noninheritable a restraining infrastructure on Kiva robots, starting a mechanism arms contest. The robots, that satisfy "a single click" orders in below quarter-hour — employment that commonly takes 60-75 minutes to end by humans.
RFID innovation, that has likewise been getting used for one or two of years, could be a thought labour stinting method for organizations to trace their stock. A device or tag is placed on the item and radio waves area unit sent. the data is then obtained and ready by the organization.
Like RFID labels area unit barcodes, nevertheless, the peerless speed information|of knowledge|of information} delivery and data arming of RFIDs is all a lot of fascinating to supply businesses and therefore the approach innovation is continuing.

As mentioned earlier, autonomous transportation technology has been a trend that has evolved within the course of the recent few years. nevertheless, despite everything, it seems as if it'll take your time before autonomous product trucks area unit utilised as a region of supply on highways of the countries.
The pattern in self-driving product transportation hasn't touched as quick as warehouse robotization this year. However, that's presumptively affordable given the altogether totally different condition enclosed like public freeways.
But Volvo as these days disclosed another model self-driving truck in the capital of Red China, China, and within the US, a company referred to as Embark Trucks is making an attempt driverless innovation whereas pulling refrigerators on a 650-mile passage on low-volume roadways amongst TX and American state.
To remain targeted, totally different organizations also are presently hustling to fill their warehouses with the comparable models.
Upgraded GPS offers a lot of intensive scope of capacities and options to be utilised in regions like period of time traffic data, geofencing, fuel tax revealing, route streamlining and chase driver's hours. Organizations will even track their vehicles repairs needs and obtain notifications once the motor produces a bother code. you'd currently be able to track whether or not a driver is braking or dashing too viciously.
These varieties of information permit the supply administrators to understand the way to decrease fuel utilization, enhance security, monitor driver lead and eventually spare expenses.
The internet of things (IoT) permits physical objects to be related to Internet-empowered systems and devices. Today, the supply business employs IoT in numerous forms, from utilizing temperature and humidness sensors that regulate production network internal control to exploring totally different avenues relating to IoT advancements which will determine once a package has been messed with.

Undisputedly, China has become the world's manufacturing powerhouse, accounting for around half of all personal computers, digital cameras and kitchen appliances. However, the country is fast transitioning from low-cost manufacturing to a higher-value, innovation-led economy, a critical transformation that is at the heart of this new title.
As Chinese firms begin to transform the country into a truly global innovator, the emerging patterns of future innovation are identified and reviewed. New and dynamic practices are arising that are recognisably Chinese, yet at the same time capable of competing on the world stage. Following the successes of firms such as Huawei, Haier and Lenovo, a growing number of technology-focused firms are now turning their attention towards markets outside of China – a development that will not only benefit the country but will provide exciting opportunities for businesses throughout the world.
Georges Haour is Professor of Technology & Innovation Management at IMD Business School, Switzerland. He also acts as an adviser to firms and organisations in his area of value-creation through effective management of the innovation process, as well as commercialisation of technology. He has eight patents, 90 publications and three books on innovation and technology commercialization.
Max von Zedtwitz is an expert in the area of global R&D management and managing business and innovation in China. He is a visiting professor of Strategy and Innovation at universities in China and Europe (Tongji University (China), HSG University of St. Gallen (Switzerland), Grenoble School of Management (France), Chalmers University of Technology (Sweden), Nyenrode Business School (Netherlands)) but is based in Shanghai where he runs a Tongji-based think-tank on "Global R&D and Reverse Innovation".

AgilePoint NX is a low-code, application Platform as a Service (aPaaS) that lets non-programmers to build, deploy, and manage sophisticated software assets entirely in the cloud. AgilePoint NX lets you to quickly create powerful enterprise business applications that are responsive to devices, browsers, other applications, evolving business conditions, and the needs of disparate groups of users, without writing code.
Apps and you create with AgilePoint NX use HTML 5, JavaScript, CSS, and JSON technologies that can be embedded in any web-capable application.
Similarities with Other Low-Code Platforms
AgilePoint NX is similar to other low-code development platforms in that it uses a visual builder. Users can drag forms, activities, and form controls onto a visual builder, and then configure each component according to their requirements using plain language.
Activities can be features of AgilePoint NX, or they can be functions of external systems, such as SharePoint, Salesforce, or SAP. AgilePoint NX has an eForm Builder that enables the rapid development of interactive, rule-driven forms.
Unique Characteristics of AgilePoint NX
Beyond what may appear as familiar-looking application composition framework, AgilePoint NX has a number of unique characteristics.
Application Platform as a Service
AgilePoint NX runs in a self-contained cloud-based portal. Users can create an account and access a fully integrated set of application development and management tools in the same location. In a broad context, AgilePoint NX can be considered a powerful, enterprise-class aPaaS that provides a rich, desktop like user experience in a browser. However, AgilePoint NX can also be deployed on-premises in a private cloud environment. This capability is unique in the industry and satisfies the security requirements of even the most conservative organizations.
Standalone Process Engine
In PrivateCloud (on-premises) environments, AgilePoint NX utilizes a standalone process engine. In practical terms, this means that an event in SharePoint, Salesforce account, SAP or most other line-of-business systems can trigger a process, but once triggered, the process lives in AgilePoint's engine. This approach makes NX apps largely impervious to upgrades in any of the systems it interacts with. Contrast this with embedded workflow solutions, such as for SharePoint.
Stateless Process Engine
The AgilePoint NX process engine is stateless, meaning apps are not resident in memory throughout execution. Rather, apps are loaded when needed and jettisoned within just a few milliseconds. This design characteristic limits the amount of system memory required. Because AgilePoint NX's engine runs on XML, rather than compiled code, AgilePoint NX keeps CPU requirements to a minimum. AgilePoint NX can be scaled to almost any capacity while requiring relatively little additional hardware.
XML-Driven Process Engine
Rather than rely on code-generation technology, which results in rigid apps that must be recompiled and executed with each business or technology change, application models in AgilePoint NX are build in native XML, which the process engine uses to run the process. This approach makes NX apps highly adaptable to changing conditions. Apps can be manually reconfigured at runtime—without coding—or reconfigured programmatically via feedback loops of fresh data from other applications or devices. Programmatic, runtime modifications makes AgilePoint NX an emerging leader for rapid development of Internet of Things applications, which must dynamically reconfigure based on data from millions—or billions—of other devices.
Mid-Execution Updates
One of the challenging aspects of process-application management is evolving business requirements. This reality is exacerbated by the time it may take to complete some processes—as much as months or years—and by the fact that some organizations can have thousands of process instances running simultaneously in various stages of completion. To account for these issues, AgilePoint NX includes management features that enable runtime updates of applications, eliminating the need to take an application offline while it is updated, recompiled, and re-executed. This capability is essential for a true, enterprise-class low-code platform and is woven into AgilePoint NX's DNA, a byproduct of its long-time status as an industry leading intelligent Business Process Management Suite (iBPMS).
Application Models
Beyond the fact that AgilePoint NX model-based applications are dramatically easier to build than traditional, hand-coded applications, the models themselves actually serve as run-time interfaces for system administrators, who can monitor with a glance the stage at which a process instance has progressed. Likewise, from these models, administrators can modify applications mid-execution. Because these models are easy to understand (practically self explanatory), they can function as departmental APIs—visual guides of operational procedures to departmental and non-departmental staff. they can be maintained by anyone with process knowledge and platform credentials. They virtually eliminate the technical debt that results from hand coding apps and integrations against system APIs.
AgilePoint NX's integrated eForm Builder enables users to build anything from simple forms with just a few fields and controls to complex, multi-tabbed forms. eForm Builder provides more than 50 control types, enabling users to build forms of any sophistication. And eForm Builder supports business logic in the form itself, enabling dynamic restructuring of the form based on input from application users. Forms built with AgilePoint NX consist entirely of HTML5 and JavaScript and can be embedded in any browser application that is based on HTML5.
Integrated Development and Management Environment
Beyond its asset development framework, AgilePoint NX's integrated Management console provides a dashboard of custom, real-time and rollup reports; the ability to manage applications during runtime; the ability to manage workflows and apps; the ability to control access and user rights; and the ability to establish and oversee a variety of system-level controls. Among AgilePoint NX's most powerful features is the fact that it's Management console can be embedded in other systems (SharePoint, Salesforce, etc.), a game changing capability for low-code platforms, which are used to build cross-functional applications that interact with many disparate systems.
Built-in Governance Functionality
AgilePoint NX's state-of-the-art architecture includes layers of governance capability, a necessity for the compliance-sensitive and security-conscious organizations. AgilePoint NX utilizes a single-codebase-multi-tenancy approach, which combines the real-time scalability of a fully hosted service and the data security of an on-premises system. This level of functionality is available with only a few elite application development platforms, all of which cost several multiples of AgilePoint NX. In this regard, AgilePoint NX is a legitimate industry "disruptor." Beyond single-codebase multi-tenancy, AgilePoint NX enables permission and rights management at the system administrative level and within the tenancy model.
Cross-Platform, Cross-Cloud, Cross-Environment
In summary, AgilePoint NX apps and other software assets can span platforms (Windows/J2EE), cloud-native services (Salesforce, NetSuite, etc.) and hybrid environments (on-premises/cloud). This extraordinary capability is the byproduct of AgilePoint NX's unique architecture, which includes XML-based application models that are fed directly into a standalone, stateless process engine, enabling runtime modification and updates to applications, HTML5/JavaScript forms, which can be embedded anywhere, a composition environment that enables multiple and programmatic configurations of components, and a framework that lets more than one configurations of the same application to be deployed in parallel. The result is applications that are responsive, not only to hardware and software technologies, but to the business requirements of enterprises, business units, individuals, and customers.

Timothy Gagnon is the faculty director for the D'Amore-McKim School of Business Online Master of Science in Taxation program. In this video, he discusses the taxation program, his teaching philosophy, and how all students can customize their Online Master of Science in Taxation for their career goals.
I'm Timothy Gagnon. I'm an Assistant Teaching Professor and the Faculty Director for the Master of Science in Taxation for the D'Amore-McKim School of Business.
For the online program, I teach the estate and gift taxation and tax research. Estate and gift is really the other side of what we give away, how to account for it in the tax system and then that interrelates is now that you've died what do you have left for credits, what's included in your estate, what's not included and how do we pull back under the IRS code? How do we pull back certain assets into your state to get the full value to determine who do we charge in estate tax.
I spend my time trying to teach people, or my students, how to research through the tax code, whether it be the statutes, the administrative regulation, or the difference in cases. The online taxation program is 10 courses. There are five core courses that you must take and then you have five electives. We've tried to arrange the electives to be what we call a corporate track and an individual track, but you're not held to only taking the corporate track or the individual track.
You can take five electives out of either one of the tracks. The whole idea being that we're wanting you to become more tax efficient, the core courses will do that, corporations, partnerships, estate and gift, research, federal taxation issues. Those are the core because you need a broad base. But when it comes to your electives, you can take them in advanced partnerships, you can take them in income tax and trust and states. You can mix and match because we really want you to be able to take courses that refine more of the area you wanna know about or would be more advantageous to your practice in the future.

Superbugs are on the march! How can we combat antibiotic resistance?
In 2014, Lord O'Neill published a review commissioned by the UK government predicting that by 2050, 10 million people around the world will die every year due to superbug infections.
The term "superbug" refers to bacteria, which are resistant to antibiotics. The achievements of modern medicine to fight these killers is not possible without access to effective antibiotics. As the efficacy of existing drugs declines, the superbugs appear to be winning more and more battles, with previously curable infections becoming untreatable. A combination of factors, including declining pharmaceutical investment and government funding, means that the pipeline for new antibiotics is almost dry.
Are we entering a 'post-antibiotic' era of increasing number of deaths and incapacitating illness caused by epidemics and pandemics that reverse the medical breakthroughs of the last centuries?
Thanks for joining us at the Swiss Re Institute's Centre for Global Dialogue for a public Risk Task led by a panel international experts to discuss what should be done to battle antibiotic resistance.

Fera part of the UK-wide Xyella pathogen consortium
A major research programme focussing on building UK resilience to the bacterial plant pathogen Xylella fastidiosa, met for the first time this week.
Dr Gerard Clover took up the post this week as Impact and Engagement Manager based at the John Innes Centre for the BRIGIT consortium.
Dr Clover will be responsible for working across the multiple stakeholder groups involved in the national programme. He will also continue to work part-time in his role as Head of Plant Health with the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS).
BRIGIT, a consortium coordinated by the John Innes Centre, has been set up to enhance UK surveillance and response to Xylella fastidiosa. Xylella, one of the world's most devastating plant pathogens, has devastated crop plants in southern Europe in recent years.
Dr Clover's role will be to help develop an evidence-based policy and best practice framework for responding to the threat of the plant pathogen, reflecting the input of a wide range of industrial, policy and scientific stakeholders. "I am delighted to be joining the consortium for what is such a critical project. We must ensure that more is done to understand how the disease spreads and how we can improve best practice to mitigate the impact of any introduction," said Dr Clover.
The consortium brought together ten leading UK research organisations in a £4.85m programme to improve methods of diagnosis and detection of Xylella, to identify factors that could lead to its spread and to mitigate the risk of the pathogen to the UK. The first meeting of the whole consortium took place in London on the 6th February 2019.
The insect-transmitted bacterial pathogen Xylella infects more than 500 plant species including crops, ornamental and wild plants and trees. In Italy alone, over one million olive trees are dying because of a Xylella-transmitted disease called Olive Quick Decline Syndrome. So far Xylella has not been reported in the UK.
BRIGIT is funded by UK Research and Innovation through the Strategic Priorities Fund, by a grant from the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council with support from the Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs and the Scottish Government.
The ten institutions in the consortium are: John Innes Centre, Amgueddfa Cymru-National Museum Wales (NMU), Centre for Ecology & Hydrology, Fera Science Ltd, Forest Research, Royal Horticultural Society, Science and Advice for Scottish Agriculture, The University of Salford, The University of Stirling and the University of Sussex.
The consortium will collaborate with international scientists and organizations, including the European Union-funded XF-Actors research project to improve prevention, early detection and control of Xylella fastidiosa.

Michael McDonald preparing new EP & album, releases live version of "What the World Needs Now Is Love"
Credit: Timothy White
Michael McDonald, who will be rejoining his old band The Doobie Brothers for a 50th anniversary tour that's scheduled to begin in July, reveals that he's working on a new studio album, which will be preceded by an EP of recordings he made with some local musicians.
McDonald tells Billboard that he was initially intending to sell the EP during the Doobie Brothers trek, but of course, that now is likely to be postponed because of the pandemic. He says the collection includes a previously unreleased song he wrote with David Crosby, a cover of Neil Young's "Helpless" and reworked renditions of such Doobies hits as "It Keeps You Runnin'," "What a Fool Believes" and "You Belong to Me."
Regarding the tour, McDonald says, "I know I'm really looking forward to it, and I hope all the other guys are up for it come next year."
Meanwhile, McDonald has debuted a new lyric video for a live rendition of the classic 1965 Jackie DeShannon hit "What the World Needs Now Is Love," penned by Burt Bacharach and Hal David.
The soulful version of the song was recorded at a 2019 concert, and follows a live performance of Marvin Gaye's "What's Going On" that McDonald posted on YouTube last month.
"We always end our evening with one of those two songs, or both," McDonald, who's currently quarantining in his Southern California home, tells Billboard. "We've tried to make our live shows leave people with a sense of community and a little something more important than just all of us getting together to hear some live music."
The "What the World Needs Now Is Love" video features a montage of vintage home movies, including candid footage of family gatherings, weddings, toddlers playing and more.

Maryland and The Gaming Industry
August 26, 2021 by VELOCE
Undoubtedly video games and the accompanying e-sports industry have become a profitable and interesting proposition for generating revenue. Private companies, developers, investors, and even the government itself started looking at these opportunities in a different light since it surpassed the cinema industry as the most valuable entertainment area. It was then a matter of time before the state of Maryland attempted to revitalize its involvement with video games.
Maryland as a state has deep roots with video games, the earliest developers and titles can be traced all the way back to 1982. At a point in time, the state was showing great promise and even had a large number of employed citizens that worked in the video game industry, studies estimate around 32,000 people worked with games at one point. A major course was dedicated to the art form at Maryland Institute College of Art, and a reputation started to form around the state.
In 2010, things didn't seem to be going swiftly in Maryland, as the state had a considerable number of studios shutting down, or relocating. Most of the hardships endured at the time were attributed to the new form of mobile gaming that was becoming popular. Eventually, even traditional, and award-winning companies would meet a dire fate. Fortunately, these events opened up opportunities for new endeavors and Maryland started to reshape itself to embrace the culture.
Years later in 2016, Maryland would become home to indie award-winning companies like Firaxis Studio, which was a subsidiary of 2K, Pure Band Studios who worked with Riot, the creators of League of Legends and other famous start-ups such as the now-famous Discord. The talent and success of those companies brought Maryland back into the scene, and the state gained a reputation as a new innovation hub for game developers, and start-ups to reside.
In the last couple of years, that success has continued and economic results associated with the industry have grown. Mobile game developers and low entry barriers are among the motives for Maryland to be such an attractive place, coupled with a low cost of living, and now a community of peers, the state shows promise. The government of Maryland would be responsible for advancing and making itself even more attractive and connected to the industry in 2019.
Gaming has grown exponentially, and astronomically in comparison to other venues of entertainment, and a fair share of those results came from adjacent ventures regarding e-sports. In 2019, Maryland would approve the eSports Act (House Bill 48), which would encompass games and related activities as sports. This bill would not only allow betting but also create multiple opportunities for eSport tournaments to be hosted on the state, yet the most important part would be the recognition that prize money and awards could be paid out.
With great companies, a flourishing culture, support from the government, and an amazing community of professionals, Maryland is looking like a solid alternative to more saturated places like Texas, California, and Florida. The recognition from colleges and society as a whole that this industry can yield great returns to the state the future is looking good for Maryland.

Q: Homestead "No input file specified " on Name.app I looked at a lot of the other issues but none of those answers were solving my issue.
I'm using Laravel Homestead, and I cannot connect to the .app when I set up the server.
When I initially installed homestead, no Code folder was created, so I put the files into the Code folder manually (and tried just changing the yaml file to not look for /Code/wavvve as well).
Looking for some guidance to see what I can try next, here is the current yaml file

I manually made the Code folder to try to resolve the issue, when I first installed and set up everything, I have no code folder inside the directory.
I have tried starting with vagrant up --provision and I haven't had any success with it, and I'm not really sure where to go from here.

Ginger House : A beautiful rustic Museum hotel in the Jew Town of Kochi
Mattancherry is known to be a small area in the old part of Kochi. Mattancherry has a lot of prominence for the trading community who thrived in this area. The Portuguese were the first colonial powers who arrived on the Malabar coast. The be in good terms with the kind and in exchange for certain rights, the Portuguese had built a palace for the Kochi Maharaja. Later the Maharaja allocated some land for the Jews adjacent to his palace to build a synagogue. There was already a Jewish settlement in Mattancherry Jews were actively involved in trade. Jews were in very good terms with the Royals and had enough access to the power centers of the land.
Since most of the Jewish community left for Israel between the 1960s and 1970s, most of their property was bought by local vendors. As tourism gained prominence in Kerala during the late 1990s most of these old Jewish quarters were taken over by Antique traders to set up shops and outlets. In the heart of Mattancherry, close to the Jew town was an old ginger warehouse located right on the banks of the Vembanad backwaters. This old warehouse was also part of that taking over process, today it holds one of the most beautiful heritage hotel, redesigned to be a Museum Hotel.
A Museum hotel could be termed as a hotel that occupies pieces of art and history. Just like that the Ginger house showcases some very interesting antique furniture and pieces in the rooms. The hotel has six rooms and each of the rooms follow a particular architectural Theme in terms of its design and antique placement in the room. The themes include Travancore Palace Theme, Chettinad Theme, Colonial, and so on. However, there is an extension to this concept. The Ginger house allows you to buy any of the antique placements that you see in the room.
We got a chance to visit Ginger house towards the mid of January and learn more about the rooms, the kind of furniture and antique placements and so on. Today this is one among the hotels that include in the Kerala Tour Itineraries. As a Kerala Tour Operator, it is these very interesting concepts that we showcase and suggest to guests. Apart from the rooms, the hotel has a Ginger restaurant right on the banks of the backwater. Evenings would be great here.

/ Biologists create more precise molecular scissors for genome editing
Biologists create more precise molecular scissors for genome editing
December 1, 2015 This article courtesy of Nature News.
Engineered Cas9 enzyme makes fewer mistakes.
By tweaking an enzyme that cuts DNA, synthetic biologists say that they can make genome editing even more specific — an essential improvement if the technique is to be deployed in the clinic to treat genetic diseases.
The enzyme, called Cas9, is a key component of a molecular-editing system that enables researchers to alter particular DNA sequences in the genome. That technology, called CRISPR-Cas9, is so quick, cheap and easy to use that it is already changing how genetic research is done and could one day provide a way to correct genetic mutations that cause disease in humans. On 1 December, researchers from the United States, the United Kingdom and China are convening in Washington DC to discuss the ethics and applications of gene-editing in humans.
But before any clinical applications, patients and regulators must be sure that the Cas9 enzyme will not cause dangerous off-target damage to the genome. "For therapeutic applications, we all want to proceed with maximum caution to make sure we're not modifying the genome at undesired locations," says David Liu, a chemical biologist at Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
Error rate cuts
Researchers have already been tweaking the components of CRISPR-Cas9 to drive down its error rate. They have tweaked the RNAs that guide the Cas9 enzyme to a specific site in the genome, for example, and engineered the system so that researchers can easily switch it off, so that the enzyme does not have as much opportunity to make unwanted changes.
Synthetic biologist Feng Zhang at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard in Cambridge decided to focus on engineering the Cas9 enzyme itself. He and his team altered the enzyme so that it is less likely to act at sites with mismatches between the RNA that guides the enzyme and the DNA that it targets. They generated several versions of Cas9 that reduced off-target errors at least tenfold compared with unaltered Cas9 enzymes.
"It's a matter of tempering the excess 'enthusiasm' of Cas9, so that it grudgingly accepts on-target sequences and nothing else," says Liu, who was not involved in the work.
Zhang's team have created three new versions of Cas9 that, they report, made fewer mistakes but were just as active at their target sites as ordinary Cas9. And Zhang notes that unlike other ways to reduce CRISPR-Cas9 error rates, the new enzymes require no changes to the CRISPR-Cas9 protocol already used by many researchers.
More than one answer
For many research applications, an unaltered Cas9 enzyme will do, says Liu. But for therapies, researchers would like to drive down the error rate so that it is no higher than the normal rate of DNA mutation in human cells. On its own, the tenfold improvement that the engineered enzyme achieves isn't quite enough, Liu estimates; he thinks that for therapies, the error-rate of CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing needs to be made several orders of magnitude more specific. But combining various methods for improving specificity might well do the trick, he says.
Zhang compares the problem to trying to make a car go faster: the new Cas9 enzyme is like putting in a bigger engine. "This can still be combined with other modifications, like adding a spoiler, leading to a souped-up enzyme," he says. "There are many ways to increase speed."

The notoriously volatile stock market suffered severe fluctuations due to the financial panic caused by the Coronavirus pandemic, with the FTSE 100 recording its largest daily decline in March since 1987s Black Monday.
Meanwhile, the Bank of England (BoE) slashed their base rate to 0.1% on March 19 - the lowest on record - with Andrew Bailey, BoE Governor, later announcing that negative interest rates are under 'active review' for the first time in the BoE's 325-year history.
Now, experts consider us to be in the middle of a second wave of COVID-19, and though we're still dealing with much of the fallout brought about by the emergence of the pandemic, it could be as good a time as ever to review your portfolio and make sure it's prepared for what's to come.
A diversified portfolio is always important
It's a well known fact that a diversified investment portfolio is a must when it comes to maximising potential returns and minimising risk.
This is the case no matter the investment and economic climate, but it's especially crucial when attempting to navigate the complex and unknown road ahead.
Keeping your investments diversified across a range of assets, sectors and geographies is one of the best methods to spread risk - it's important to avoid putting all of your eggs in one basket.
Seeking advice from an independent financial advisor is recommended, because your personal circumstances and goals play an important role in building the right portfolio for you, there's no one-size-fits-all approach.
Investments, unlike cash, can rise and fall in value, and are typically medium–long term commitments.
While investing is a good consideration for those who are looking to grow their capital and are willing to take more risk to do so, it's advisable to have an easy-access cash fund for a rainy day.
Some sectors have been more resilient than others
The impacts of the Coronavirus crisis have touched every sector. And when choosing where to invest as you diversify your portfolio in preparation for what could be ahead, looking back at the sectors that proved somewhat resilient throughout the first wave could provide some guidance.
However, it's important to remember that it's almost impossible to predict what's to come, and past performance can not guarantee future performance.
Nevertheless, the tech sector has continued to perform well, as the 'new normal' has seen digital solutions become crucial as people and businesses have to significantly reduce contact in the physical world.
As well as this, the housing market - though closed for the duration of the first national lockdown, where house viewings, home moves and most construction ceased - has shown significant resilience.
When the market reopened in May following the easing of restrictions, pent-up demand caused a housing mini-boom, with demand jumping by 80% in a week according to Zoopla's UK Cities House Price Index Report.
Now, house prices have hit a record high, with recent statistics from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) reporting a leap of 4.7% over the year.
And with measures from the Government - such as the stamp duty holiday - helping to boost the housing market even further, it's promising for home buyers, sellers and investors into the likes of the MAVEN Bonds IFISA.
Proposals to change capital gains tax
On November 11 2020, a report by the Office of Tax Simplification - which was commissioned by Rishi Sunak, Chancellor of the Exchequer, to review capitals gains tax - was published, urging an overhaul of the tax.
The proposals outlined in the report recommended cutting the capital gains tax allowance, and aligning rates more closely with income tax.
This could raise up to £14 billion - and is an option the Government may consider when assessing ways of paying back the debt racked up by Coronavirus rescue measures - but would have a negative effect on wealthy individuals who hold second homes or other assets outside of a tax wrapper.
Therefore, when considering where to invest, keep in mind that shielding returns from capital gains tax could be more important than ever.
There are multiple methods of investment that offer tax relief on capital gains, including the Individual Savings Account (ISA), whereby all returns are completely free from both capital gains tax and income tax.
Within the ISA family, the Stocks and Shares ISA and IFISA could be a valuable consideration for investors willing to take on medium–high risk.
A Stocks and Shares ISA offers potential returns in excess of 4% over the long-term, but bear in mind that stock market fluctuations are common, and they have been particularly volatile during COVID-19.
The IFISA is uncorrelated to the stock market, and potential returns range from 4% to 8%.
With an IFISA, investors can invest into the likes of SME and consumer loans, and property.

Port Said, Egypt
By itypejob | December 22, 2022
According to Baglib, Port Said is an exceptionally young city, by Egyptian standards, of course, located 200 km northeast of Cairo. It was built in the middle of the 19th century along with the Suez Canal, at its northern entrance, and along with Alexandria is considered the "sea gate" of Egypt.
With its wooden houses and Escher-style labyrinths of balconies, Port Said, despite its age, is a dilapidated town that still retains its colonial charm. A mandatory stopover for all cruise ships passing through the canal, Port Said is a pretty enough sight to be worth a two-hour walk.
Few people know that the same Statue of Liberty, which today is considered the main symbol of the United States, was once planned to be installed in Port Said under the name "Light of Asia". However, the government decided that this monument was too expensive for the city, especially its transportation from France.
Uncomfortable trains (19-38 EGP, 5 hours on the way) connect Port Said with Cairo, so it's better to take a bus (95-135 EGP, 4 hours on the way, departing every hour). In addition, there are buses to Alexandria, Ismailia and Suez. A taxi from the bus station to the city center (3 km) will cost 15-20 EGP; taxi in the city center – from 5 EGP. The prices on the page are for September 2022.
Money, communication and information
You can exchange currency and withdraw cash at the Banque du Caire and the National Bank of Egypt, cash traveler's checks at the Thomas Cook office (8:00-16:30), which is located next to the gas station. Sharia Palestine has Amex (9:00-14:00 and 18:30-20:00 Sun-Thu), post office (8.30-14:30), telephone center (24 hours) and information office (9:00-18:00: 00 Sat-Thu, 9:00-14:00 Fri). Internet access can be found in many internet cafes.
Despite the fact that Port Said is also considered a beach resort, and boasts a couple of sandy beaches, this city remains underdeveloped in terms of mass tourism. Which, by the way, has a beneficial effect on the quality of services in local hotels. The cost of accommodation per night here is much lower than in the popular cities of Egypt, but the service is much higher.
Entertainment and attractions of Port Said
Port Said was founded in 1859 on a small sandy spit that separated the Mediterranean Sea from the salt lake Manzala. Since then, many houses of the 19th century have been preserved here, as well as the picturesque embankment of the Suez Canal. The city became famous during the Suez war of 1956 for its one-day resistance to the Anglo-French amphibious assault. Since then, Port Said has often been referred to as the "Egyptian Stalingrad".
The main attractions of Port Said include the Suez Canal embankment and the National Museum located on it with samples of Egyptian culture from pre-pharaonic times to the present day. In addition, the city has preserved several charming churches – Coptic Orthodox and Franciscan.
There are also enough cafes, restaurants and all kinds of eateries here, many of them boast picturesque views of the Suez Canal.
It is worth saying a few words about the canal itself: its length is 162.5 km, through which about 50 ships sail every day (14-16 hours on the way). In the Port Said area, the canal bifurcates, creating a two-lane ship traffic. Above the canal (this is the last boring nuance, honestly) lies a picturesque suspension bridge 70 meters high, about 20 km from the city.
Military Museum
Opened in 1964, the Port Said Military Museum consists of several rooms with displays on: the battles of the Pharaonic era, the 1956 invasion, the wars against Israel (1967 and 1973). In addition, here you can see all kinds of photos, documents, bas-reliefs, paintings, statues, models.
