The Discovery Orchestra Receives Investors Foundation Grant
Grant Will Support the Orchestra's Local & Digital Music Education Programs
SUMMIT, New Jersey – The Discovery Orchestra ("the Orchestra") recently received a $2,500 grant from Investors Foundation. The grant will help further The Discovery Orchestra's mission of teaching music listening skills by providing interactive and accessible programs virtually and in-person for audiences in North Central New Jersey and beyond.
The Orchestra applied for the grant from the Investors Foundation, which supports non-profit organizations that enrich the diverse communities served by Investors Bank.
"By exploring the different artists and styles within classical repertoire and linking the classical tradition to other genres of music, The Discovery Orchestra brings music's powerful sense of connection and well-being to people all over the world. Through an increasing array of online distribution channels and partnerships, The Discovery Orchestra makes rich music experiences available to people who might not otherwise be able to enjoy them due to geographic, financial, or other barriers," said Virginia Johnston, Executive Director of the Orchestra. "We are thrilled to have community partners like the Investors Foundation who continue to support our mission and work."
The Investors Foundation grant will help underwrite the Orchestra's 2021-22 programs for the public, which include a live Discovery Concert broadcast on radio station WWFM, The Classical Network, as well as Inside Music, a bi-monthly educational radio program also on WWFM. Additionally, the grant will support music listening programs for our local outreach partner organizations, which serve music students in Newark, Morristown, Paterson and Trenton.

I know the TMC 2660 drivers are only good up to 25 V. Upon start up, and after jogging a few of the axes, the reported peak voltage has gone as high as 24.7 V. Is this too close for comfort? It typically rests at 24.5 or 24.6.
2660s can handle 30v max, the 25v rating on the Duet is to provide headroom.


Trailers come and go for loading and unloading of products and forklift trucks and workers move the products around quickly at your loading docks. According to OSHA, there are about 85 fatalities involving forklifts every year and tractor trailers are the second leading cause of backover fatalities in the US.
Safety first is second nature to us, so our team at Ulti Group are able to recommend the ideal safety solutions that can help you reduce risk, and protect your people in your loading dock environment.
Vacant loading docks create a dangerous drop-off where forklift operators can drive off and fall.
Prevent accidental falls with the help of a Dok-Guardian Safety Barrier on each of your loading dock. This removable safety barrier can help prevent forklifts, pallet jacks and pedestrians from falling off your loading docks.
Secure each trailer that enters your loading dock using rear impact guard restraints. Rear impact guard-based vehicle restraint utilises shadow-hook technology that works with accessible rear impact guards.
A visual verification that the trailer has been restrained before the next part of the operation starts can be done from the inside of the dock with the use of Lok-Vu. This utilises a single or dual outside camera view which is displayed inside.
Flashing red and green lights on control boxes may become obstructed on busy loading docks.
Use Corner-Vu and Leveller-Vu which flashes lights on the upper corners of the interior dock door and at the leveller pit read to provide more visible line-of-sight vehicle restraint status in the forklift driver's view.
Add an additional layer of pedestrian safety outside the building for workers on the other side of the loading dock.
Approach-Vu uses light and a horn system to indicate clear visual and audible warning to pedestrians in the the drive approach when a backing vehicle is detected.
Detect activity inside trailers and warn oncoming traffic with the flashing blue light of Pedestrian-Vu. This features motion sensors on each side of the dock door which are aimed inside of the trailer. It then emits an intense, flashing blue light onto the leveler when activity is detected inside of the trailer to warn everyone on the dock to proceed with caution.
When both pedestrians and forklift truck share the same space, it is very important to have traffic lights.
The Safe-T-Signal Warning System detects traffic from all directions and communicates to oncoming traffic at intersections. It uses high-visibility traffic control LED symbols to signal a pedestrian/forklift to stop or yield. It also projects a blue LED light on the floor to signal workers that they are approaching an intersection.
Vehicle restraints should not only secure a trailer to the building but also provide danger notifications. Hazard recognition and communication to pedestrians and material handling operators can be done using the Rite-Vu™ Hazard Recognition and Light Communication System.
Prevent trailer up-ending and other accidents due to landing gear collapse by placing trailer stabilisers or trailer stands under the nose of spotted trailers.
Trailer stands can be adjusted according to the height of the trailer to support and stabilise the trailer especially when forklift truck enter the trailer during loading and unloading of goods.

Q: Problems in setting up VirtualHost using WAMP server I want to host multiple websites on my computer. I'm using Windows with WAMP server. I already have domains and know how to map them to ip.
I have already edited httpd.conf file to allow virtual hosts.
My httpd-vhosts file looks like this,
<VirtualHost *:80>
    DocumentRoot "C:/wamp64/www"
    ServerName localhost
    ServerAlias localhost
    <Directory  "C:/wamp64/www">
        AllowOverride All
        Require local
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>
  DocumentRoot "C:/wamp64/www/testcase"
  ServerName test.mydomain.com
  <Directory "C:/wamp64/www/testcase">
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride All
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
    Require all granted
  </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>
    DocumentRoot "C:/wamp64/www/test2"
    ServerName test2.mydomain.com
    <Directory "C:/wamp64/www/test2">
      Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
      AllowOverride All
      Order allow,deny
      Allow from all
      Require all granted
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

The problem is that both my domains open only the first site in this VirtualHost tag.
Example: In this case, both my domains will open the WAMP server configuration page. If I were to move the "testcase" tag above the other, both my domains will open the "testcase" page.
Update:
My subdomains show corresponding pages successfully when I open them on the server. But when I open subdomains on another machine, they open the first entry in the VH.

Update 2: Okay, so this is just out of my understanding now. I thought may be WAMP is not my cup of tea. So I installed XAMPP and made changes to the VH configuration and still ended up with same problem. So I then got rid of XAMPP too and installed WAMPDeveloper Pro. What could go wrong when the software sets up all the configuration files for you, right? But to my surprise, I still have the same problem. The websites work fine when I open them (using actual domain name) on the server itself, but when I open them on machine outside network the first VH entry open for all the domains I open.

Can anyone please help me with this?
Thanks!

A: Using both Apache2.2 and Apache2.4 syntax gets Apache a litle confused.
So as I assume you are running Apache 2.4 change the VH defs to this
<VirtualHost *:80>
  DocumentRoot "C:/wamp64/www/testcase"
  ServerName test.mydomain.com
  <Directory "C:/wamp64/www/testcase">
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride All

    Require all granted
  </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>
    DocumentRoot "C:/wamp64/www/test2"
    ServerName test2.mydomain.com
    <Directory "C:/wamp64/www/test2">
      Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
      AllowOverride All

      Require all granted
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Why Apache opens the first site i.e. localhost in this case.
If Apache cannot make sense of a VH def, it ignores it and default to loading the first Virtual Host that was correctly defined in the httpd-vhosts.conf file.
Of course you will also need to amend your c:\windows\system32\driverrs\etc\hosts file to include these domain names
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 test.mydomain.com
127.0.0.1 test2.mydomain.com

::1 localhost
::1 test.mydomain.com
::1 test2.mydomain.com

Горловка, Донецкой области, проживает в общежитии военного городка по адресу г. Николаев, ул. Аэродромная, командир эскадрильи 299 бригады тактической авиации Украины, наносившей авиаудары по Донбассу, с местом дислокации в городе Николаев.
1 Colonel, brigade commander Pomogailo Vladimir A.
4 Colonel, senior navigator Dyakiv Alexander Y.
5 Major, beg. Service safety Strom Igor G.
14 - Lieutenant Colonel Yuri Shevtsov, the pilot shot down on July 21 in the area of settlement Marinovka aircraft SU-25, delivered to the headquarters of the Army of the South-East, born 12.02.1982, in Gorlovka, Donetsk region, living in a dorm at the military camp Nikolaev, st. Airfield, Squadron 299 brigade tactical aviation of Ukraine, stationed in Nikolaev.
Photo, video of (14) are shown in the source. (1-13) in the list are characterized as his pals; there exact circumstances are not fully clear but they appear to be POWs. Article says that their personal information is removed from social network accounts.
This 31.08.2014 - 2:35 dated article show UAF POWs (Azov, Dnepr, Donbass battalion foot soldiers,+some officers). This happens under Ilovaisk, in Novorossia. "Despite reports in Ukrainian media that POWs were shot, Novorossiia AF show video with them held prisoners, although not in greatest shape,but alive". "We will not free them any more, they will help us to reconstruct Donbas." . I see, I guess, 18+ people on video, and about 40 people in panoramic video take starting at 2:16 and ending 2:23 on the video. I did not attempt more careful people count.
3:24 because you were killing civilians in our cities, it will be fare that you help reconstruct Donbas. Do you think it is fair? Yeah from prisoners goes. Thank you for your understanding.
Novorossia, Kononov: "I was approached by mothers of soldiers who are either in the SBU, or somewhere else, and for more than nine days of the Ukrainian side cannot handle back to us five people that were requested more than ten days ago at the request of parents. Here's how the Ukrainian side behaves. Therefore, I have temporary halted the exchanges of prisoners".
Kononov adds that Ukrainian army conscripts were freed.
Latest on Savchenko: her appeal against detention extended till February was denied. Circumstances of her arrest are disputed. She was said to be with Aidar battalion, and presented in press as a fire corrector or helicopter door gunner. But she said she came there on vacation to see her friends (in ATO area, and staying at an army base with them). According to her LifeNews interview, 24.07, she was arrested (in ATO area) when she tried to get a car to rescue wounded soldiers, but walked into an ambush. She is currently held in Russia and is accused of relating to Ukraine coordinates of journalists, killed by mortar fire. Her defense submitted to the appeal hearing some cell phone records/billing evidence that her and the journalists paths did not intersect, and that she was under arrest in Luhansk at the time when journalists died. Savchenko was required to undergo psychiatric evaluation at a clinic in Moscow, as part of court procedures (defense requested an ambulatory evaluation, without stay at the clinic; that was denied). She was elected Rada deputy (Timoshenko block); and Ukraine is appealing for her release. Savchenko is trained as helicopter navigator-pilot. She has military training, and prior experience of serving in a Ukrainian unit in Iraq, for 6 months.
Ruban's POW MIA work on government side were heard reporting MAJOR difficulties. This mission is not really done by government, it is done by a military officer, who set something up. But this officer by his code of conduct cannot tell his boss to cause the desired outcome. His only option is to wait for journos to yell so much that something will happen (But yelling of all those journos is inverse proportional to their reasonableness ).
if anyone was mistreated by the Kiev side, once they're home they'll talk.
These guys are in a situation where they might be killed any minute. They don't plan very far ahead. When it's time to go home they will fear reprisals for where they've been. (Similar reason for why the Donbass guys cannot surrender or stop fighting. Fighting possibly extends their lives, in comparison to surrendering).
But if these are not sorted out, they'll never know who got killed and quickly buried. So the Government will never have peace from the relatives.
Ruban Vladimir Vladimirovich. This tries to talk down his efforts, point out gaps in his military record, and most of all paint him as getting too close to DPR/LPR, Nothing really serious here, apart from the effort to find something wrong.
A bit more on his military service, with photos.

Nassau County D.A. Wants Review Of Inmate Suicides
Filed Under:District Attorney, Inmate, Inmate Suicide, Inmate Suicides, inmates, jail, Kathleen Rice, li, Long Island, Mineola, Nassau County, Nassau University Medical Center, Suicide, Suicides
A jail cell (file/credit: Getty Images)A jail cell (file/credit: Getty Images)
MINEOLA, NY (AP) – The district attorney wants a review of conditions at Long Island's Nassau County Jail after four inmate suicides in a year.
Nassau District Attorney Kathleen Rice tells Newsday that a review should be done by correction and mental health experts.
State records show four Nassau inmates killed themselves by hanging in the last 12 months.
The latest was on Jan. 3 at the Nassau University Medical Center. The inmate had first tried to slit his wrists at the jail.
There were no inmate suicides from 2006 through 2009.
State officials and advocates also have called for an independent review.
I used to work there…murder is not what we were trained to do …but we were told …would happen…..by the hands of a secret group…..i know nothing ….nothing
NassauInmate AdvocacyGroup says:
Thank- you to the DA for realizing deficiencies at the Nassau County Correctional. With an oversight committee and independent committe to investigate the physical and mental heatlh care at the jail, we will be better able to care for our inmates in a more humane and professional manner. These inmates, also members of our community- family members, friends, most who eventually (and hopefully) become vital and productive members of our working community- are deserving of at least that much from our justice system.
pogo the clown says:
I agree with Peter. It is not fair to make that comment without knowing who these people were, why they were in prison, and how they were treated once inside.
You do sound cold….you don't know what level of criminals there were.
I don'r want to sound cold,but that is 4 less criminals prowling our streets ,and committing more crimes…………….

Groundbreaking ideas at fourth generation ABC Accelerator Demo Day
02. February 2017 Press Releases
This event brought to a close the fourth ABC Accelerator, a three-month programme aimed at developing promising young businesses. Quite a few agreements pertaining to financial investments in young businesses were reached, while the ABC Accelerator also presented awards for best partner, best mentor, and best lecturer. The BTC Company received the best partner award.
The Demo Day lets startups strengthen their capital base, advance in terms of development, and break onto the international market. Investors, on the other hand, get a chance to invest in the most innovative and promising potential solutions provided by young businesses that are making their way onto the market. The event brought to a close the already fourth three-month accelerator programme, this year titled "Internet of Things and Internet of Everything", in the course of which startups developed solutions that could make life easier by making imaginative new connections in the world.
This year, the Demo Day brought together more than 230 guests. Among them were investors from Europe, Asia, and America. Boris Koprivnikar, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Public Administration of the Republic of Slovenia, also attended the event.
Solutions were presented by Slovenian startups Cafelier, Fastcast, Froc, Identiks, and Second coach, Croatian startups Canelio and Peep, Italian startups Marketcloud and Soplaya, Koola from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Cibo from Denmark, Hirehunt from the Ukraine, Clotify from Poland, and Solopex from Germany.
In addition to promising young businesses, esteemed businessmen were also present, among them Ton van 't Noordende (Keadyn), Chris Haley (01 Ventures), and Tomi Fyrqvist (AXA Strategic Ventures), as well as Lorenzo Franchini (Lventure) and Garan Goodman (Wayra), who joined the round-table discussion. Investors could also watch the Demo Day at ABC Accelerator offices in Munich and San Jose via a livestream, which reached 7,000 views.
The Demo Day resulted in several agreements on financial investments. Some deals are still in the making, whereas Koola, a company that presented a platform for efficient communication between roadside assistance agents and drivers in case of trouble on the road, already signed an investment deal amounting to EUR 200,000, and the Slovenian company Froc already ordered 1,000 smart children's feeding chairs.
The Demo Day furthermore saw the presentation of awards honouring the best partner, best mentor, and best lecturer. This year, the best partner award went to the BTC Company, which has supported the ABC Accelerator as its co-founder from the very beginning. Heeding global trends with the ABC Accelerator and the ABC Hub, the Company has managed to put BTC City Ljubljana on the global business map and present young businesses with the right environment as well as the opportunities to test out their business ideas. Jože Mermal, President of the BTC Management Board, said: "The Demo Day showed that the decision to bring thirty startups into the three-month accelerator programme instead of ten, which we had done up until this year, was the right one. Fourteen of the startups presented great demos, some were no less than brilliant. Since young startups aim for international success, I'm very happy that we can help them by offering a continuation of their training, so to speak, with ABC's programmes in Munich and Son Jose, where they will be brought into contact with the most technologically and entrepreneurially advanced environments in the world. I wish all these young people, who are bravely looking for their own formula for success, much success on their business path. May they never run out of fresh ideas, creativity, and motivation. Because the BTC Company is committed to these very ideals, the ABC Accelerator has presented us with the best partner award, which I am particularly proud of."
Additional confirmation of the successful cooperation between the BTC Company and the ABC Accelerator was the best mentor award, which the participating startups chose to give to Julij Božič, Chief Innovation and Digital Officer at the BTC Company. The best lecturer award went to Filip Dobranić. The awards were presented by Dejan Roljič, founder and CEO of Acceleration Business City, and Urška Jež, co-founder and managing director of ABC Accelerator Ljubljana.
Events such as the Demo Day solidify the vision of the BTC Company and the role of BTC City Ljubljana as an innovative city, which follows global trends and creates opportunities for the intermingling of global capital with groundbreaking business ideas. New gateways for the development of these ideas have already been opened – at present, applications for the fifth three-month ABC Accelerator programme are underway. The next generation of startups will search for innovative solutions as part of a programme titled "Intelligent things".

AWS is kicking off the year with a number of exciting news and collaborations, and we are here with all the juice!
This week, Conversational AI specialist NLX launched 'The Showroom', which is an interactive travel and hospitality experience that puts users in their customer's shoes. This is backed up by AWS and it presents users with multimodal, chat, and voice capabilities that can improve levels of their customer service.
The showroom enables businesses to test drive what end-to-end, personalized, automated conversations would look like on a fully qualified Conversational AI platform, illustrated through use cases like check-in, upgrade booking, cancel a reservation, and other features.
Andrei Papancea, CEO and Chief Product Officer at NLX explained that "it's no longer practical for major brands to take a single-channel approach to automated customer service". With The Showroom, end-users can seamlessly transition back and forth from chat, to voice, to multimodal, friction-free while experiencing continuous engagement as they would with a live agent.
In another collaborative news, Carahsoft announces the availability of data protection and backup Solutions in AWS Marketplace.
Carahsoft is The Trusted Government IT Solutions Provider that supports Public Sector organizations across Federal, State, and Local Government agencies and Education and Healthcare markets. This collaboration means that U.S. Public Sector customers will now have ease of access, flexible pricing terms, simplified billing, quick deployment, and license management.
Great times are ahead for Amazon Web Services!
Head to our Salesforce CRM review page to know all about the customizable and scalable CRM software.
Business software maker, Salesforce are the latest U.S. tech companies to announce major job cuts.
The last couple of months have seen the tech space experience several worker purges, and this week, Salesforce joins in by announcing that it will cut its headcount by 1- percent and close down some offices.
This announcement came through a letter that the co-CEO, Marc Benioff, issued to employees last week. This is not a surprising act when we consider the layoff pandemic going around, but it's worth pointing out that Salesforce increased its workforce by over 50 percent during the pandemic.
Salesforce workers who lose their jobs will receive nearly five months of pay, health insurance, career resources, and other benefits, according to the company.
Salesforce has recorded slowing growth over the last few quarters, and its market capitalization has dropped to pre-pandemic levels of $134 billion. Without cutting its headcount, the company might not be able to meet its ambitious financial targets.
2023 appears to be the year where Shopify disrupts the workplace, and its first tool is a new initiative called "Chaos Monkey 2023".
Like many companies, Shopify is working to adjust to a post-pandemic economy, one that may be on the verge of a recession. The company is hoping "chaos engineering" will help it be more nimble and better able to move forward.
This week, it announced its new strategy of ending meetings that involve more than two people. Large meetings, of 50 or more staff, will be restricted to a specific time frame on Thursdays, with no meeting at all on Wednesdays. In addition, the company de-populated all of its public Slack channels, lowering their limits to 150 people per channel.
All of these appear chaotic, but it appears that's the point Shopify is trying to make!
Before you start building an eCommerce store in Shopify, read our Shopify review for a thorough description.
Google also made the news this week, as it announces that it will end its technical and security support to the older Chrome version, Chrome 109 by January 15, 2023, and migrate to an updated version, Chrome 110.
Chrome 109 supports Windows 7, Windows 8, and 8.1 while the latest Chrome version will require Windows 10 or any higher version. Consequently, the users will have to update to Windows 10 as well to be able to receive updated security features from the Chrome browser, according to reports.
Although the older Chrome version will also exist and continue to function, the users of this operating system will not be eligible for the latest updates and upgraded features from Chrome.
Interesting news has been linked to Microsoft, as it appears like they are considering integrating ChatGPT into its Bing search engine in an effort to boost its attractiveness. The plan, first revealed by The Informer, appears to be in the early stages at the moment.
ChatGPT is a language model developed by OpenAI that is created specifically for dialogs. Microsoft seems to be considering integrating ChatGPT more deeply into Bing. The conversational nature of ChatGPT could help the company better understand user requests, and users of Bing might favor conversational answers over traditional search results.
In the long run, the decision of whether to integrate a language model like ChatGPT into a search engine would depend on a variety of factors, including the specific goals and needs of the search engine, as well as the potential benefits and challenges of such an integration. However, it seems to be a good idea on the surface level.
Adobe has launched a free Enhance Speech service that uses a special AI algorithm to cleanse speech recordings of extraneous noise and improve sound quality.
Adobe presents this service that's already available to anyone who wants to enhance their podcasts, audio to video, and other recordings.
According to Adobe, the featured service is capable of taking recordings made with an average microphone to the point where they sound like they were recorded in a professional studio. Enhance Speech is free to use but requires an Adobe account to interact with.
Enhance Speech is reportedly part of the Adobe Podcast project aimed at podcast creators, and we're excited to see what's to come!
Allegion, which is a leading global security product and solutions provider, has through one of its subsidiaries, completed its previously announced acquisition of Plano, a SaaS workforce management solution provider.
Plano has been a long-time service provider and development partner for Allegion's leading European workforce management brand, Interflex, and its SP-EXPERT software platform. Now a part of Interflex's portfolio, Plano will continue to serve advanced workforce management customers.
Allegion announced its intent to purchase Plano in November 2022, and we are glad that they could finalize the acquisition this week!
RateGain Travel Technologies, a provider of SaaS solutions for travel and hospitality, announced this week that it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Adara through an asset purchase agreement.
RateGain opined that with digital channels playing a 'significant' role in influencing travel decisions, it is critical for marketers and commercial teams to look at ways to capture intent accurately and target the right audience to increase the ROI on their marketing investments.
For them, the integration with Adara will further this to create a unique value proposition that the industry needs, as more and more travelers adopt digital channels to research, plan, and book travel.
That's all from us for this week! More coming your way next week!

Late last night in the Seahawks' 46-18 win over the Colts, rookie running back Chris Carson was tackled for no gain and ended up twisted down in a pile. When the pile unpiled, Carson's foot was hanging from his leg at an angle at which feet shouldn't hang. He was put in an air cast right there on the field, loaded onto the cart, and wheeled off, as most of his teammates gathered around the scene.
Pete Carroll said after the game that Carson, who had emerged as Seattle's starting tailback, suffered a "significant" ankle injury, but didn't know if he will need surgery. And right around here I can guess the rough thought processes of a good number of NFL fans. They're wondering if Carson will be out long, or might he be out all season—or at least through Week 14, when the fantasy playoffs begin. They're wondering if Eddie Lacy, his backup, will be productive with increased carries, or if Lacy is going to lose touches to Thomas Rawls. They're wondering if J.D. McKissic is worth a waiver-wire flyer. They're wondering if Carson's early-season success was for real and if he's worth targeting high in next year's draft.
This monologue on fantasy football and dehumanization was something that had evidently been bothering Sherman a while, given that it was prompted by a question about Carson's injury that had nothing to do with fantasy. But maybe it was telling that Sherman was asked about an injury to a skill position player, and not about OT Rees Odhiambo, who was taken to a hospital with trouble breathing after a hit to the chest, or DE Cliff Avril, who left the game with a neck injury, or CB Jeremy Lane, who departed with a groin injury. But none of those three players rack up fantasy points.
I'm tempted to get defensive here, because Sherman has described me accurately and it's not a flattering feeling. Sure, I "feel bad" for injured players, but whatever that entails passes quickly and is shunted to the periphery of my thoughts. I think that's natural—I don't know any of these players, I only know what they do on the field and how it affects my interests. If I could add one thing to Sherman's accusations, it's that I don't believe this is an effect of fantasy specifically, but one of sports as a whole. Athletes are designed to be interchangeable parts in a machine—in football especially—and we are, after all, functionally rooting for laundry. A good friend is a lot harder to replace than a serviceable running back.
Sherman has one more angle for us to think over. It's not just the injured player whose life is changed.


I think you should do an RA shortblock with ARP2000s. you dont need 1/2 inch headstuds for a 20g. way overkill.
i would also take this opportunity to DIY and learn.. understanding the car could down for months, spend 1k on a honda to haul you around during the downtime.. or better, a cheap toyota pickup.
Liked, but many people do not have a suitable place to take this on. I didn't, and it was a strong reason I didn't build myself. Another was time. But by all means if you are capable and have them means, go for it. I ended up building a shop - so next time round and in the meantime we are putting a bring a WRX back to life. Then I have a Savana transmission scheduled. That's hopefully just a weekend job though - when we get to it.

Yea that's my problem. My hoa would have an autistic aneurysm if I so much as changed the oil.
I actually do need a shop to do this build for me. And I have a motorcycle so I have transpo.
I don't want to go with the type ra. Just thinking about that sti makes me want to vomit.
I'm gonna get the stage 1 iag and have boost creep do the build and tune.
not a bad idea. especially for the price.
Be prepared for some piston slap. Whenever my forged piston motor goes, I am likely just doing the new OEM short block. A good tune can keep it alive and not make a lot of noise.

Wearables are becoming an important part of today's sports and health industry. Smartwatches, fitness trackers, and fitness bands are functional and portable; they can be used anywhere and anytime – when running, working out, and even swimming.
Holding your phone or putting it in your pocket while running isn't very convenient. Swimming with it is nearly impossible. Though smartphones are also capable of counting your steps and tracking your location, they lack many other useful capabilities like heart rate monitoring and exercise detection.
Wearables like smartwatches sit comfortably on your wrist and don't interfere with your activities. Moreover, they make it easier to see the information you need. You don't have to take out your phone to check on your exercise progress.
Among all types of wearables, smartwatches and wristbands are the absolute leaders.
Interesting features and convenience have made wearables popular. As you can see in this chart, the number of wearables has grown each year since 2016, and this tendency isn't likely to stop.
Among all types of wearables, smartwatches and wristbands are the absolute leaders. CCS Insights projects that around 54 million wristbands and 86 million smartwatches will be sold in 2021.
Fitness wristbands and smartwatches are the most popular types of wearables.
While wearables like smartwatches are used for activity and sleep tracking, they are also becoming more important in the healthcare industry. For example, in 2017 Apple launched the Heart Study App that allows the Apple Watch to identify irregular heart rhythms and collect data. This app may help to identify early signs of stroke and warn users.
Wearables are becoming something more than devices for sports fans. They're getting more advanced and multifunctional, which makes them a great help when it comes to healthcare.
The number of apps for wearables is also growing. In this article we'll talk about the best wearables and apps for them on the market, focusing on smartwatches. After giving you some tips on developing apps for android wear, we will give you some examples of wearables and apps for them that already exist.
This is an instruction on how to make an Android Wear application.
1. The first thing you'll need to do before starting developing an Android Wear app is create a watch emulator. After it's launched in a cold boot mode, connect the smartphone via USB, as you won't be able to connect it to the smartphone emulator, according to official documentation.
2. Install an Android Wear companion app to prepare the smartphone. Now you'll need to connect it to smartwatches. Use an adb devices command to make sure that both devices are recognized and connected.
3. Use the adb -d forward tcp:5601 tcp:5601 command to connect them. You'll need to use it each time you connect smartwatches.
5. After the connection is established, you can start creating your project.
Don't forget to put a check into a Wear checkbox to indicate that the project will include the wearable app.
Note, that Android Wear works only with API 23 and over. In your new project you'll see a smartphone model and smartwatches modules. Each of them has its own gradle file.
6. Choose the module of a smartwatch app and launch it.
7. Next step is to set an app for a mobile phone. Add a layout to the activity_main.xml file.
8. You'll need to add this code to the MainActivity class.
In this code you can see BoxInsetLayout. BoxInsetLayout is a screen shape-aware FrameLayout, that can box its children in the center square of a round screen by using the layout_box attribute.
12. Finally, it's time to test your application. Install the application on your smartphone and smartwatches and send a message.
As you can see, after you send a message, it will appear in smartwatches notifications.
Now you have a basic application you can add your features into!
You should include some features typically found in mobile fitness apps when you create an Android wear app. They include GPS navigation, system of motivation, instructions if needed and other details.
Modern smartwatches have lots of sensors, from standard accelerometers and GPS modules to heart rate sensors. Use their capabilities to make your app comprehensive and universal, so that a user can have a calorie counter and a personal trainer in one place.
Developing a mobile app is pretty similar to android wear app development; the main difference is in the design. Make sure that you can fit the most important information on the small screen of a smartwatch.
The Android developer community recommends to use 2D Picker — it is a UI design pattern that allows a user to choose from a specific list of items.
You can use your custom layout as well, but make sure that it's comfortable for your users.
Information has to be clear and visible, and when it comes to smartwatches, less is more. You'll notice that many fitness apps for wearables have a simple design with minimal colors. Usually these colors contrast with the screen so they can be seen better.
But you can find bright designs, too. For example, Apple Activity is colorful yet simple.
The interface of a smartwatch app has to be really simple and responsive so that users aren't distracted or irritated during their workouts.
There are two types of notifications in wearable applications: bridge notifications and contextual ones. What's the difference?
Bridge notifications come from a user's smartphone. It means, that these are standard Android notifications, that are displayed on a wearable device. Bridge notifications are closely connected to smartphone's features, and they usually include calls, SMS, etc.
Contextual notifications come from the wearable and they are independent from a smartphone. They usually include the information that comes from the wearable's sensors, for example, when a user should rest, how many steps were walked and so on.
Notifications that pop up on smartwatch screens are different than those you usually see on your smartphone. They need to be more compact, containing one word or some sort of indicator, such as a color, to let your users know what's happening.
Smartwatch hardware doesn't allow you to store a lot of information, which is why cloud technology is very important for synchronizing your devices and sending data. And don't forget about security – all sensitive user data needs to be protected.
One final tip for android wearable development: make it with the Chinese market in mind. By 2021, China will account for one-third of all wearables sales, and fitness apps are really popular there. You have the opportunity to enter a market with several billion people, increasing your potential audience.
There are many applications for smartwatches. Some of them are specific to a certain operating system or watch type, for example Apple Watch Activity and Google Fit. However, you can find other third-party apps for your smart watch.
Smartwatches have their own operating systems. Apple has WatchOS and Android has Android Wear. Most third-party apps support both platforms and can also include APIs of other manufacturers that allow you to use them with fitness wristbands.
Below, we'll give you some Apple and Android wear app examples that are already on the market.
Strava is one of the most popular fitness apps in the world, which is perfect for those who like swimming, running and cycling.
Strava is one of the most popular fitness apps and works both on smartwatches and mobile devices. There's also an independent Strava application for smartwatches that can work without connecting to a smartphone.
Runkeeper is a great app for any activity like running, walking or hiking. It uses maps to show location and routes, and also stesses motivation that will allow to continue training. Goal setting is one of the core feature of this app, and in pair with a fitness tracker it is a great companion on a way to success.
Runkeeper supports Apple Watch and Android Wear devices. Like Strava, Runkeeper has built-in GPS and can work independently on your wearable without having to connect to your phone.
A beautiful park where you like jogging will immediately become a battlefield in a postapocalyptic world with this app. You'll need to run for your life, otherwise the zombies will be glad to eat you. Run, set challenges and listen to engaging music and become a hero of a great story.
This app is creative – it turns a usual jog into a quest with great storytelling in The Walking Dead style.
and your muscles work… But only for 7 minutes a day! Regularity and effort will bring you great results for just that little time.
This app is designed for people with packed schedules who can hardly find time to work out. 7 Minute Workout Challenge helps you keep fit in only seven minutes a day. It supports both Apple Watch and Android Wear.
Your personal yoga teacher at the tips of your fingers. Relax and train your body at your own pace.
This application is designed for relaxed yoga sessions. It tells you how long to hold each position and how many calories you've burned during each training. It also uses your feedback to tailor exercises for a better yoga experience, so you can become a creator of your own yoga sessions.
As you can see, there are countless ideas for fitness apps. The growing market for fitness apps provides opportunities for creating new software for wearables. Now we'll talk about the must-have features for wearable applications.
Healthcare and fitness are two of the fastest-growing markets in the world. If you develop an Android wear app, that's a great start. The next thing you should do is find the right development team that will be able to bring your idea to life.
At Mobindustry, we build smartwatch apps for android and will gladly develop and support your application. Contact us for more information or advice on how to make a successful wearable fitness app.
Are you planning to create your next innovative fitness product? We'll translate your ideas into a technology that will change the way people live.

There's a battle brewing between David Sciarra of the Education Law Center and Governor Christie in New Jersey . It looks like when it comes to emergency repairs in poor school districts, the Christie administration needs improvement, has not made adequately yearly progress and has failed the most vulnerable children of his state.
The Abbott districts identified 700 emergent conditions in need of repair but the state only sees 300 of those as meeting the criteria. In a letter to the DOE office, ELC identifies hundreds of EMERGENCY projects that have not been fixed.
Politifact of the Newark Star Ledger says Sciarra, a civil rights attorney, has "crossed the line" because he said "nothing has been done" when in fact, a few projects left over from former Governor Corzine's term have been completed and a "few emergent" projects were completed over the past two years.
Politifact: Now, let's mention some specific projects in Newark and Camden.
In Newark, construction was substantially completed in 2011 on nine SDA-managed emergent projects, according to Steve Morlino, executive director of facilities management for Newark Public Schools.
Those projects included roofing work at BRICK Avon Academy; Dr. William H. Horton School; and South Street School, according to a list provided by Morlino.
Wendy Kunz, Director of Abbott Facilities Construction for the Camden school district, also pointed to a few emergent projects completed during the past two years, including replacing the roof and Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning units in 2011 at R.C. Molina Elementary School.
But those and other former Abbott districts have not received approval for hundreds of other proposed emergency repairs. Newark school officials proposed work on more than 130 emergent conditions, but they have not been approved yet to go to construction, Morlino said.
Following site visits, state officials are reviewing 300 emergent conditions identified by the former Abbott districts, Pasquine said. The districts identified more than 700 emergent conditions, but 400 of them were preliminarily rejected by the state Department of Education for not meeting the established criteria, she said.
You're doing a heckuva job Christie!

The aviation accident lawyers at Bohrer & Lukeman are monitoring the events surrounding the untimely death of country superstar Troy Gentry on Friday, September 8th. The popular vocalist and guitarist was aboard a Schweizer 269c helicopter, registration number N2091E, which crashed just before 1 p.m at the Flying W Airport in Medford, N.J. Both Gentry and the pilot were lost in the tragic accident. The helicopter accident lawyers at Bohrer & Lukeman are closely following the circumstances that lead to this dark day for the world of country music.
Gentry, 50, was set to perform that night at the Flying W Airport & Resort as half of the celebrated country duo Montgomery Gentry. At approximately 12:30 p.m. E.T., just a few short hours before the concert was scheduled to begin, Gentry took off in the light utility helicopter with pilot James Evan Robinson, 30, of Meigs, Georgia. Robinson had recently moved to Medford to work as a helicopter pilot at Helicopter Flight Services, the flight school associated with the airport. The Schweizer 269c helicopter belonged to the school.
Disaster quickly struck moments after take off, when Robinson radioed air traffic control to let them know the helicopter was experiencing a mechanical emergency.
According to Police Chief Richard Meder of Medford Township, local police received an urgent call about a "helicopter that was distressed" at 12:40 p.m. Emergency responders were sent to the airport, but in a stroke of ill-timing, arrived just as the helicopter hurtled in a freefall towards the ground.
Gentry was removed from the crash site and taken to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead on arrival.
Responders toiled for hours to remove Robinson's lacerated body, trapped inside the wreckage.
Eddie Montgomery, the other half of Montgomery Gentry, was present at Flying W Airport at the time of the crash, but had chosen to stay on the ground. According to NJ.com, the flight was an ""impromptu, spur of the moment" ride.
Investigators from the National Transportation Safety Board and the Federal Aviation Administration are onsite at Flying W Airport to conduct an official investigation into the crash. Since beginning the investigation, the NTSB has determined that the root cause of the disaster was due to engine failure.
The Schweizer 269c rotorcraft helicopter with reciprocating engine involved in the accident was manufactured in 2002. The S-300 series of helicopters, originally produced by Hughes Helicopters before Schweizer assumed their manufacture, are 3-bladed single rotor and piston-powered aircrafts designed primarily for use in agriculture and flight-training. According to the NTSB Aviation Accident Database, this was the 11th fatal helicopter accident in the United States this year.
It is also the 4th crash to involved a Schweizer 269c helicopter since February, with nonfatal accidents occurring in Florida, Arizona, and Minnesota.
Gentry was born in Lexington, Kentucky, on April 5th, 1967, where he formed the group Montgomery Gentry with friend and fellow musician Montgomery in 1999. The duo released six studio albums, with 5 singles reaching the number 1 spot on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart. Their hit "Gone" was country radio's most-played song by a duo in 2005.
The helicopter accident attorneys at Bohrer & Lukeman will continue to follow the details surrounding the fatal Troy Gentry helicopter crash and will update this website with any new information as it is released. Bohrer & Lukeman is an aviation accident law-firm with over 25 years of representing those injured or killed in general and commercial aviation accidents. Aviation lawyer Abe Bohrer, founder of the New York-based law firm, has successfully represented the victims of both general and commercial aviation accidents, domestically and internationally.

During this ClickFunnels inspection, I will be breaking down everything for you in an easy to understand way so it is likely to observe just how ClickFunnels functions and begin implementing it immediately to get leads to your company.
In addition, I understand that you are reading this ClickFunnels review because you know your company takes a solution similar to this and you're simply not sure this is the ideal fit.
Before continuing with this ClickFunnels Review, let us explain what a marketing funnel is. In advertising, it's a process that requires people who don't know you personally and turns them to customers, aka a advertising funnel. In e-commerce, a sales funnel is a set of measures developed to guide a web site visitor into the checkout page.
There's a less boring way of considering it. Step 1: Imagine a funnel. Measure 2: Envision this funnel is really a metaphor, and instead of actual ingredients to pour down the funnel, you have got metaphorical ingredients that you phone traffic or website traffic. Your site visitors are searching around, checking things out. Your website is beautifully built, and your content is topnotch!
Unfortunately, that still does not turn a great deal of your visitors into clients. At a physical store, that's like people walking in to your store but not knowing where the cash register is, so that they leave the store without buying anything. In a physical store, you can speak your customers into purchasing something. Within a digital store, you could be a bit more distant from the consumers. That's where your funnel comes in–it was made to attract your clients' through fundamentals of psychology. The funnel functions incremental, draw visitors in closer and closer till people end up in a page.
Should you feel that sounds cool, you are correct –it has become a massive deal for online advertising. Russell Brunson didn't become wealthy by promoting ClickFunnels technologies, but by using it as well.
The founder of ClickFunnels, Russell Brunson, is as famous as his invention, and for good reason. He has made a fortune, but not just from ClickFunnels, but other advertisements experiences. He performed with email advertising for some time, and eventually started to master sales funnels.
Russell Brunson is the bestselling author of DotCom Secrets and Expert Secrets, two books his lovers rave about and direct people through his advertising and marketing strategies. You are able to pick up Dotcom Secrets free on his website here. Get Expert Secrets out of here free on his website.
ClickFunnels started out as a way to assist Brunson and his staff produce funnels more quickly for distinct ventures, as creating funnels would normally take months. However they soon realized their creation could be helpful to others and had good potential as a commodity.
In terms of layout — the appearance and feel of your articles — ClickFunnels treats you to some fantastic selection of templates that are beautiful. Not only can these spare a lot of effort and time, but you also have the assurance that these templates are tested and are demonstrated to convert. Again, Brunson began the instrument to enable his own salespeople and entrepreneurs sell more products.
As you can see, the pros definitely outweigh the cons. A few of the cons are rather nitpicky, such as the URLs being cluttered, but this is more of a personal taste than anything. I am aware that there are many other landing page builders that we will utilize, for example Thrive Architect from Thrive Themes. For me , I have found the funnel step integration to be a few of the simplest funnel applications to design however.
Lead Capture Funnel: This sort of sales funnel permits you to capture email addresses of your site's visitors. The funnel's chief objective is to assist in improving your mailing list. Afterward, this list may be utilized as a constant customer touchpoint as well as a path where you are able to promote your products and services to prospective customers via email. This type of funnel works for any organization!
Revenue Page Funnel: This funnel lets you advertise more goods or services by executing upsells, downsells, or perhaps one time supplies to your clientele. The intent of using this kind of sales funnel is to draw more earnings from your present pool of consumers.
Webinar Funnel: Webinars are a excellent way to provide more value and participate potential clients. This very valuable sales funnel boosts your webinars or internet events. Lots of bloggers come to Growth Marketing Guru to learn best practices for webinars — they're seriously popular sales tools nowadays.
Together with ClickFunnels, making your sales funnel is straightforward. Simply pick from a lot of pre-made funnels, then choose the template design you'd like, and Clickfunnels will produce all the pages to you.
As it's possible to use ClickFunnels to perform a lot of things such as marketing automation and membership websites, their effectiveness is your core sales funnel builder I believe is the best in the company.
However if you're seeking to construct a sales funnel to advertise any service or merchandise, ClickFunnels is definitely a tool that you want to consider using. There is no better way of constructing your funnels if you're among these sales-focused entrepreneurs.

Q: Regresar una fecha tipo string con formato específico a formato fecha Javascript les cuento el problema con el que estoy lidiando.
Estoy usando app junto con una paquetería que se llama date-fns
Lo que pasa es que al mostrar la fecha en mi app, tengo que hacer una conversión, digamos:
format(fromUnixTime(gasto.data().fecha), "dd 'de' MMMM 'de' yyyy", {locale: es})

Lo importante es que estoy sacando una fecha en formato unix de una base de datos y la devuelve en el formato que le especifico.
Por ejemplo:
format(fromUnixTime(1644170400, "dd 'de' MMMM 'de' yyyy", {locale: es})

La fecha en formato Unix corresponde al 6 de febrero y en la salida me devuelve: "06 de febrero de 2022".
Todo bien hasta ahí, pero esa salida es del tipo string. Y lo que yo quiero es regresar esta misma salida (que se almacena en un estado o variable que se llama fecha) a un formato de fecha válido para poder guardar esta nueva fecha en mi base de datos, esto porque estoy usando una función de editar para poder guardar la nueva fecha, en caso de que el usuario la quiera cambiar.
En resumen. Digamos que ustedes tienen la variable
const fecha = "06 de febrero de 2022"

¿Cómo le harían para regresarla a un formato tipo fecha (dígase formato Javascript o Unix)? No he encontrado la manera de hacerlo.

A: Puedes implementar una pequeña función para parsear la fecha. Te adjunto un ejemplo. Ten en cuenta que este ejemplo no valida la fecha, simplemente la intenta parsear del string que le pasas como parámetro.

function parseLongDate(longStringFormat) {
  const months = ["enero", "febrero", "marzo", "abril", "mayo", "junio", "julio", "agosto", "septiembre", "octubre", "noviembre", "diciembre"]
  const regex = /\s+del?\s+/gi;
  const date = longStringFormat.trim().split(regex);
  const day = Number.parseInt(date[0]);
  const month = months.indexOf(date[1].toLowerCase());
  const year = Number.parseInt(date[2]);

  return new Date(year, month, day);
}

let result = parseLongDate("06 de febrero de 2022")
console.log(result);   // String parseada a Date

// Para convertirla de nuevo a la string original puedes usar
let options = {year: 'numeric', month: 'long', day: 'numeric' };

console.log(result.toLocaleDateString('es-ES', options));

Pero si tienes la opción de que te de la fecha en un formato específico, pues has que tu servidor te la devuelva con formato YYYY-MM-DD y así puedes parsearla directamente sin necesidad de implementar nada:

const fecha = "2021-02-06";  // string con la fecha en formato YYYY-MM-DD
const parts = fecha.split("-");
const fechaObjeto = new Date(parts[0], parts[1]-1, parts[2]); // los meses para JS comienzan en 0

// Para imprimirlo o obtenerlo en el formato que especificas
let options = {year: 'numeric', month: 'long', day: 'numeric' };
console.log(fechaObjeto.toLocaleDateString('es-ES', options));

Otra opción puede ser usar una libreríá externa como momentjs.

Socially cooperative art is a field not well understood by many, indeed even in the art world. Why is it art? Where does art end and social action begin? Who is the author of a cooperative project? In this lecture recorded on February 3, 2013, at the National Gallery of Art, Tom Finkelpearl celebrates his latest publication, What We Made: Conversations on Art and Social Cooperation, by providing an overview of socially cooperative art-where it comes from, what its artistic roots are, and why it can be considered valuable.
Tania Bruguera and Mierle Laderman Ukeles, two of the most important artists working in America today in this field, then describe their work, focusing on a single project. Bruguera, Finkelpearl, and Ukeles take a careful look at how art can intersect with life and how artists are reimagining this intersection in the new avant-garde of participatory, activist, community-inclusive art.

Wimbledon: Sharapova, Roddick suffer upsets
WIMBLEDON, England (AP) — Moments after Maria Sharapova walked off the court in defeat, her father stomped away from the stadium down a Wimbledon walkway, spitting out words in Russian as he gestured to a companion.
Upon climbing a stairway to the players' patio, Yuri Sharapov encountered the father of two other former Wimbledon champions, Richard Williams. They shook hands without a word, and Williams began to giggle at the seething Sharapov, who couldn't resist cracking a rare smile.
They belong to an exclusive club of dads who know what it's like to watch their little girl flop as the world watches. Sharapov endured the experience Thursday, when his daughter lost 6-2, 6-4 in the second round to Alla Kudryavtseva, a fellow Russian ranked 154th.
"There's only one winner in the tournament, and everybody else is disappointed," Sharapova said. "I'm one of them."
While Sharapova never really gave herself a chance, missed opportunities doomed Andy Roddick. The two-time Wimbledon runner-up went 0-for-8 converting break points, squandered three set points in the final set and lost to Janko Tipsarevic 6-7 (5), 7-5, 6-4, 7-6 (4).
"Any chance I got, I pretty much just choked it," Roddick said. "It's like you want something so bad you almost squeeze too tight."
Other title contenders gave their parents more to cheer about. No. 2-ranked Rafael Nadal showed a rare flash of anger at a questionable call in the opening set but regained his composure to beat 19-year-old Ernests Gulbis 5-7, 6-2, 7-6 (2), 6-3. Williams' daughter, Venus, seeking her fifth Wimbledon title, needed 26 points to win a single game but eventually shook stubborn Anne Keothavong of Britain, 7-5, 6-2.
Venus and sister Serena also won their second-round doubles match shortly after being named to the U.S. Olympic team.
But 1999 Wimbledon champion Lindsay Davenport withdrew before her second-round match because of a lingering knee injury. Davenport, back at Wimbledon for the first time in three years after becoming a mother, said she still expects to play in the Olympics.
American men went 0-for-3. The elimination of Roddick, Jesse Levine and Olympian James Blake left the United States with one player in the third round of gentlemen's singles: No. 102-ranked Bobby Reynolds.
The sixth-seeded Roddick failed three times to put returns in play when he had set points in the fourth set. When he chipped one of the returns awkwardly into the net, he cursed himself, and he was just as self-critical an hour after Tipsarevic closed out the upset.
Facing a tough second-round opponent in the precocious Gulbis, a French Open quarterfinalist, Nadal looked unusually edgy early. He threw a brief tantrum at 5-all in the first set when the chair umpire awarded a point to Gulbis, ruling the ball had bounced twice before Nadal hit it.
"I say, 'That's unbelievable how you can't see something like this,'" Nadal said. "I said, 'Probably your fault I'm going to lose the set.' But ... I lose the set because I played terrible, terrible next game."
There was also a tense moment in the second set of the Williams match, when she and Keothavong exchanged shots at point-blank range. Keothavong ripped a backhand that hit Williams in the neck area.
"It hurt," Williams said. "This is tennis. You've got to be ready for whatever. I've hit some people, too. That's just how it goes sometimes. I don't think she was aiming for me. And if she was, she didn't tell me about it."
It has been an eventful week for Williams, who was attacked by a bumblebee in her first match. But she's into the third round without any stings or bruises, so who can blame her dad for giggling?
