THE RESIDENT is now in its fourth season, Tuesday night on Fox. The medical drama, set at fictional Chastain Park Memorial, began with an exploration of how hospitals cover up malpractice. This season, in addition to storylines about newlyweds – Dr. Conrad Hawkins (Matt Czuchry) and longtime love nurse practitioner Nicolette Nevin (Emily VanCamp) finally marry – the show also tackles the response to COVID-19, both at Chastain and other, less well-funded establishments.
When THE RESIDENT started, Manish Dayal's character, Devon Pravesh, was a novice doctor under senior resident Conrad's supervision. Now Devon is a resident in his own right. The fourth-season premiere sends him reeling when his beloved father (played by Brian George), a Queens taxi driver, dies of COVID, alone in a hospital across the country.
Originally from South Carolina, Dayal has worked extensively in films and television. His credits include RUBICON, the 90210 reboot, VICEROY'S HOUSE, THE HUNDRED-FOOT JOURNEY, HALT AND CATCH FIRE, and AGENTS OF SHIELD.
Speaking by phone from Georgia, where THE RESIDENT is in production, Dayal talks about Devon and this season.
ASSIGNMENT X: When THE RESIDENT was picked up by Fox for its fourth season, were you expecting a fourth-season pickup? Was that a surprise? Were you concerned, or did you just think, "We've got our groove, and it feels like it'll come back"?
MANISH DAYAL: I had no clue. Because of the pandemic, we had no idea whether we would come back, where we were on the schedule, if we were going to be on the schedule at all. I think that nothing could have prepared us, but ultimately, we're here, and we're so grateful and lucky to be working right now. So, I can only say that it all worked out in the best way.

AX: In Season 1, Devon was sort of the designated point-of-view character, and an innocent. Can you talk about how that's changed over time, and whether you like those changes?
DAYAL: He came into Chastain bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, and new, and hyped up on his academic excellence, and he needed to be taken down a peg or two. And I believe he has [laughs]. Over the course of four years, he's gotten to some pretty dark places, and of course emerged a new man every time. However, I think this season brings him to completely new territory, as a person, a human being, but also as a doctor. He experiences firsthand [through his father's death] the repercussions of poor care in the public healthcare system, in an underfunded public hospital, in an underfunded neighborhood that does not get the level of care that a privatized hospital does. And here, we are spotlighting the black and brown disparity in this country with regard to coronavirus and the pandemic.
And I think that that's a story that is applicable to all of us. I mean, we're all experiencing this together. It unites us in so many ways, but to talk about how there is sort of an unjust [financial and racial imbalance] in healthcare is something that Devon experiences firsthand, and of course, as a result, it will find its way into how he is a doctor, how he treats his patients. So, once again, he will hopefully and, my fingers crossed, emerge a stronger and even better person for it. I do like these changes. I like playing characters that move, and fall, and shake, and go to very dark places, and go to lows, and go to highs, and find that balance. Because ultimately, that is what will create the character and make them full, because I like to see characters and their loss of innocence, what happens from there.
AX: There are strict COVID protocols on the set, but often you have to take your mask off to do dialogue scenes. Do you have any concerns about unmasking for takes?
DAYAL: Of course. There's always a level of anxiety in doing that, because that is how you are directly exposed. I will say that we have a very rigid testing schedule that, at this point, has been, knock on wood, successful, and we're just all relying on that, and trusting in that system. I think that if we're all disciplined, and aware of the scenario, and helping to take care of each other, on set and off set, we can be successful in mitigating that level of risk. But yes, there's no doubt that taking off your mask during a pandemic is not a simple act.
AX: THE RESIDENT is a medical show which is talking a lot about COVID-19 right now. Do you feel there's like a public service aspect to this season that maybe wasn't so much in previous seasons?
DAYAL: No, I don't think so, because I think that THE RESIDENT has always worked to serve and reflect the world the world that we're all living in, and it does so in a way that tries to spotlight all perspectives. And I think that's just storytelling, that's within any story. For us, it's just so happens that we are a medical drama, talking about coronavirus, the thing that's on everyone's mind right now. So, I think that, of course, this scenario of this pandemic is unique for the show, but in terms of how we're telling the story, and for what purpose, I think that has always been the same.

AX: Are you going to miss the father/son interactions between Devon and his dad?
DAYAL: Of course. That was always fun. We only shot one other episode between us, so in those interactions, it was fun to explore what their relationship was like, and how it was unique. In this episode, it was steeped in this tragedy, but in that final scene with Devon [where the two are speaking a computer video call], in a minute or so, communicating to his dad what he meant to him, what he meant in general, Devon had to quickly articulate to his dad all of those things, the legacy he leaves behind, how meaningful that is, what his life means to his son. Devon says, "You put me through medical school, you did everything for me." So, Devon feels a great responsibility to honor his father, to do good work, as the legacy his father would have wanted.
AX: Was it difficult doing that scene to a computer screen rather than another actor?
DAYAL: Well, we actually filmed it live. A guy was speaking [the father's lines] through Zoom. It was definitely strange, because you have to envision what you're looking at, but technically speaking, you're actually looking into the eye of the lens. And I've done it before, so it wasn't too challenging, but I was able to really envision what Brian, the gentleman who plays my dad, would look like on a bed hooked up to a ventilator, covered in PPE, and what that would look like.

AX: You have a scene in the second episode of this season, where Devon yells at a patient. That's not something he does often. Did you enjoy that?
DAYAL: Well, it actually relates to what happened with his dad. Devon sees a character enter Chastain with great privilege, a character who has been afforded a level of care that his father could not, a character who could have all the funding in the world, who has been vaccinated, who has been taken care of by society. Whereas his father died alone in a public hospital, without any of this. And the anger that he feels for this patient comes from the fact that this patient lied to him, [which] sends him on a goose chase in terms of figuring out the diagnosis. And Devon realizes that this level of privilege is what was not afforded to his own father, and why he died. So, I think he responds to this character that way because he's rooted in this idea that we are all responsible to take care of each other during a pandemic. So, privilege and access [should] not allow you to take advantage of the system.

AX: In the first season, Devon was horrified by the medical malpractice committed by Dr. Bell, played by Bruce Greenwood. Has Devon made his peace with Bell?
DAYAL: I think he has found peace within that character. There have been scenarios that he's been privy to that helped make the Bell character more forgivable. I think what does remain is that Devon doesn't see similarities in himself with Bell. They're very different doctors. I don't think that that means that Devon won't work with him, or that he dislikes him, but there's a recognition that they are two very different people.
AX: What would you say are Devon's most significant interpersonal relationships right now on the show?
DAYAL: I would say his friendship with Conrad is a big one. They have a very close relationship that began as a professional mentor/mentee relationship, and they grew over time together. They have very different brands of doctoring, if you will. I think that it's only been through discovering their differences that, ultimately, today, they're very close.
AX: Are you looking forward to Devon having a romance, or are you going, "Please, no kissing scenes during COVID"?
DAYAL: [laughs] There may be a romance coming up very soon. Somebody from Devon's past could come back, or somebody entirely new. We'll see. We'll see what the fans want. We'll see what everybody has n store. Maybe Devon is just going to remain a single man this season. Who knows? I certainly don't know yet.
AX: And have you had to do any more research over the seasons in order to do anything medical with more expertise onscreen?

DAYAL: Funnily enough, there was the central line that I had to do in the pilot, which then I had to recently do again in an episode, [shot] a couple weeks ago. And I had to relearn it, and figure out how to do it again, because I hadn't done it in four seasons. I had not remembered how to do it, so the medical adviser helped me.
AX: Do you have any other projects going on that we should know about?
DAYAL: Well, I just had a really fun Netflix movie called HOLIDATE, and I did an animated series for DreamWorks called FAST & FURIOUS SPY RACERS, it's a kids' show that was great, and a lot of fun. And that's it right now. Maybe I'll have something new to share soon.
AX: And what would you most like people to know about Season 4 of THE RESIDENT?
DAYAL: That it is one of the most powerful and explosive seasons we've ever done. I think that fans are really going to find it fulfilling. And we are all very grateful to our frontline workers and healthcare workers who made it possible for all of us to go back to work.

Fatorda, Oct 10 (IANS) Iran enjoyed one of the most memorable days in their football history with a 4-0 thrashing of powerhouse Germany in a Group C match of the FIFA U-17 World Cup here on Tuesday.
Younes Delfi (6th, 42nd minutes) struck twice in the first half to stun the Germans while Allahyar Sayyad (49th) and Vahid Namdhari (75th) scored after the break to complete the historic rout.
Iran are now at the top of the group with six points from two matches. They had overpowered Guinea 3-1 in their campaign opener.


Reader Cathy Holcombe was puzzled by a marriage record.
It looked like it might be a marriage bond.
But it didn't have the language of a typical marriage bond.
Yet it had something most marriage bonds have: signatures of other people.
So what was this document… and why did it exist?
Now the language just before those signatures pretty much explains what's going on. It reads: "This is to certify that I have no objection to license being issued to my son Joel. Therefore you are at liberty to act on this for I have no objections." That's followed by Miles Barefoot's mark, witnessed (test) by John Osteen.
So… Why is this language there? Here's the answer, and you already know where it comes from, right?
It comes from the law.
Because (repeat after me) if we want to understand the records, we have to understand the law.
And not just the law in general, but the law of the time and the place where the record was created.
The marriage laws went on to provide as follows with respect to the age of marriage that you couldn't get married at all if you were a male and under the age of 17 or a female and under the age of 14.6 And then came the language that drove the creation of this particular record.
So what we have here is evidence that Joel Barefoot was (a) not yet 21 in January of 1850, and (b) not previously married, and (c) the son of Miles Barefoot. All of which was dutifully recorded by the clerk in the marriage book.
• This record wouldn't even exist but for the law: it's the law that specifically required this record to be kept.
• The specific information recorded in the document is there because it was required by the law.
• How much we can rely on it as genealogical — and legal — evidence is even set out in this law: this document is "presumptive evidence of the facts" set out here.
Now that doesn't mean that people still didn't lie on occasion to get married when they shouldn't have. But it takes us a long way towards crediting that Joel Barefoot wasn't a consenting adult at the time of that marriage under Alabama law. For his father's consent to have been required, he must have been under the age of 21.
And, by the way, it's also presumptive evidence of the fact that Margaret must have been over the age of 18. That's because no consent was required for her to be married to Joel.
Well, take a look back at that 1850 census. It records Joel Barefoot as age 20… and Margaret as age 24.
So the explanation of this record is that it's a marriage license, not a marriage bond, and the signatures are all a matter of consent. And the consenting adults to this marriage… Margaret… and Joel's father.
So that is where our Miles Barfield/Barfoot ended up. That takes care of another of Jesse the Loyalist's descendents.
Shall I pass your email address on to the questioner?
The family is a rather contrary one to research because of multiple burned courthouses and Jesse Barfield's rather nasty actions as a Loyalist officer in South Carolina. Their early arrival in North Carolina in the 1660s doesn't help the situation.
Thanks for this information. My grandmother's family was in Alabama for most of the 1800s (many are still there today) and we have some gaps in the vital records of some family members. I don't think any of us has thought to search for these records of Lauderdale County. I will share this with my cousins and see what turns up. Knowing it had to be filed in the county where the female resided will change where we've been looking for some of these kin.
Do you know when this became a requirement?
You'd have to go back before the 1852 Code to see exactly when this became law. The session laws should give you the answer.


Last Tuesday, 21st March, Pennsylvania was presented with Sen. Jay Costa's SB524 expansion bill as one step in an ongoing convoluted feud to legalise and regulate gambling in the state. In a previous article, we got a glimpse of how online casinos might be facing a total exclusion from the game. Now, with Costa's bill in play, things might be different, but with quite a few kinks to straighten out.
Last Monday, Sen. Costa revealed a 207-page version of his SB524, previously previewed in January. This bill is in line with one introduced by the House of Representatives known as HB392. Costa's bill echoes such prescriptive regulations stating that online gambling, Daily Fantasy Sports (DFS), mobile tablet gambling at certain airports will be legalised. Also, this looks to fix the unconstitutional slots tax for casino host communities, which also means that skill-based gaming machines in casinos will be allowed, while Category 3 casinos will be able to kick their non-gaming amenity requirements as long as they settle a yearly payment of $1m for five years.
Here's the catch, though. While HB392 would have proposed a 14% tax on online gambling and DFS, Costa's SB524 is looking to impose a 25% tax. While this is nowhere as outrageous as the earlier Senate bill's proposed 54%, it is still quite a bite to chew on and it's still to be seen whether up and coming online operators are willing to take that leap.
Things get even more complicated since SB524 also looks to include online lottery sales. Besides selling draw tickets, they will also introduce internet instant tickets, iLottery games and play-for-fun games, which will place themselves in stark competition with online casino products.
If this can serve as an form of indication, the state has already allocated $100 million for this year and $150 million for next year in revenues accrued from the gaming business, even though the circumstances under which these funds are to be raised are still unclear. What already seems quite clear though is that the majority of land-based casinos are supporting the introduction of online casinos while starkly opposing the setup of video gaming terminals (VFT) in pubs, clubs, and VFW halls.
The next hearing, which will also include anti-online proposals, is scheduled for Tuesday, 28th March.

VRF Heat Pumps In The Real World
Wide temperature swings, submetering deficiencies, bloated carbon footprint … these are but three of the problems tackled in two contrasting projects in the Northwest.
FIGURE 1. The Little DeSchutes Lodge, a senior living facility in Oregon, employed VRF technology, which brought utility costs down to $37 per unit.
FIGURE 2. A VRF system was used at the Lewis County PUD in Chehalis, WA, in order to accommodate the long list of occupant demands, including increased zoning and quiet operation.
FIGURE 3. VRF rooftop condensing units were installed on top of the Lewis County PUD. The rooftop units eliminated the need to structurally change the building.
Marcia Karr, P.E.
KEYWORDS VRF
How is variable refrigerant flow (VRF) working for you? We asked a number of people that question and summarized the findings from two typical facilities here.
The first case is a new construction, multi-family, low-income housing project. The second was a very poorly functioning office building that needed to be remodeled without displacing the workers. Both design teams had their work cut out for them. Both facility owners were exceptionally progressive in their energy demands.
THE LITTLE DESCHUTES LODGE
The Little Deschutes Lodge is an affordable housing project for seniors in La Pine, OR. It is a 28,000-sq-ft, 26-unit complex with on-site laundry, a community room, community dining with kitchen, a reading room, and two computer centers.
For affordable housing to be viable, operating and maintenance costs need to be as low as possible so property owners can hedge against rising costs for utilities, operations, and maintenance. And because most affordable housing is sponsored and/or developed by non-profits, the owners need to be able to cover all of their operating expenses, including debt coverage, so they do not lose money.
Having a very energy-efficient HVAC system can go a long way to help achieve these goals. This is especially important in light of the fact that property owners can only raise rents to the extent that the area median income (AMI) of the county increases on a per-centage basis.
Even with its generous amenities and features, the total monthly gas and electric bills for the facility came to only $37 per month per apartment. With a ground-source VRF heat pump system, the facility is nearly net-zero energy.
The Little Deschutes Lodge's energy use intensity (EUI) score is only 29 kBtu/sq-ft/yr, compared to about 70 kBtu/sq-ft/yr for an av-erage dorm unit, as The Little Deschutes Lodge calculated using Energy Star's Portfolio Manager. This project has a Portfolio Manager score of 95, modeled as a dorm. A high score like this means this facility performs much better than the national average for this type of building.
A PROGRESSIVE DESIGN TO MEET THE OWNER'S NEEDS
The facility owner, Pacific Crest Affordable Housing LLC, had the following requests:
A design that provided clean, comfortable amenities at the lowest operating cost;
Low utility bills and low maintenance expenses;
Reduced energy consumption that would pay back for the life of the facility.
VRF seemed like the right way to go to deliver these outcomes. Even though VRF has a relatively higher first cost over other tech-nologies, the whole building cost is relatively untouched. Because VRF is so efficient, electrical first costs are lower. And the structural and architectural costs are lower because VRF is lighter and takes up less space.
When selecting ground source VRF for the Little Deschutes Lodge, the owner and the design team had to consider some temperature issues. The outside air temperatures in La Pine range from a record low of -40°F to a record high of 104°F, with design temperatures between 18°F and 82°F. Because the actual outside air temperature can be colder than the temperature at which an air source heat pump can operate (-20°F), the decision was made to go with ground source VRF so that auxiliary electric strip heat would not be needed.
The design team created a distinctive facility with direct hard costs of only about $115/sq ft — an exceptional value for a new facility with geothermal that exemplifies the financial value of VRF. The mechanical system for the Little Deschutes Lodge was designed by SOLARC Architecture and Engineering Inc., in Portland, OR.
The ground-source system necessitated the added cost for trenching, specifically 28 horizontal trenches, each approximately 150 ft long; the header piping is buried at a depth of 6 ft and the trench piping is buried at a maximum depth of 9 ft. There are 600 ft of 1-in. pipe per trench, with four pipes spaced evenly in a 3-ft-wide trench. The trenches are spaced 12 ft on center. The overall area of the piping field is approximately 50,000 sq ft.
HEAT PUMPS AND VENTILATORS
The equipment needed for this facility included:
Four heat pumps (Mitsubishi City-Multi PQRY P96TGMU, 8 tons each) to serve the apartments, office, reading, and fitness rooms;
One Florida heat pump (ES-070, 6-tons) to serve the community room and kitchen;
One 300-cfm ERV to serve the community room and kitchen;
One 800-cfm ERV to serve the rest of the building.
DUCTED FAN COILS
The mechanical code has a requirement for maximum refrigeration per space. If each room were designed with a ductless fan coil, and that fan coil leaked so all of the refrigerant in the system leaked into the room, the allowable refrigerant levels may be exceeded. To eliminate the possibility of exceeding acceptable refrigeration limits, the apartments in this facility are supplied with ducted fan coils to increase the volume of space per fan coil. Ductless fan coils are in the larger common spaces.
WATER-HEATING COMPONENTS
One of the most economical methods for generating hot water is with a desuperheater. The Little Deschutes Lodge design includes a potable hot water storage tank sized to allow a desuperheater to preheat the hot water. The VRF system can also provide a booster heater to heat water to 160°F.
Because this project is located in an area that sees a lot of sunshine, the design also includes a solar thermal system that is thermally connected to the ground loop to take advantage of solar energy whenever possible.
PUT LOW ENERGY HOUSING ON ANOTHER LINE
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (http://portal.hud.gov/hudportal/ HUD?src=/about/mission) supports the development of affordable housing.
The goal for residential housing should be net-zero energy, as set forth in this article produced for the U.S. Department of Energy by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, "Moving Toward Zero Energy Homes" (http://www.nrel.gov/docs/fy04osti/35317.pdf).
Some studies show (www.energystar.gov) that utility costs represent the single largest controllable cost in an apartment community — typically accounting for 25% to 35% of the monthly cost. Reducing energy use by 15% in a typical 250-unit master-metered community will increase net operating income and can enhance asset value by over $1 million (using a 6% capitalization rate). In a similarly sized individually metered community, these same savings may increase asset value by over $200,000 annually.
LEWIS COUNTY PUD
The Lewis County PUD in Chehalis, WA, is a two-story, 23,700-sq-ft office building originally built in the 1940s.
The HVAC system was a hodgepodge of packaged and split systems. The current energy consumption was about average, but the building occupants were uncomfortable because the building was not properly heated. Temperatures were very inconsistent throughout the spaces, moisture was not controlled and odors were a problem. The occupants of the building – a team running the publicly owned utility – needed to set an example of energy efficiency and wanted the building to be more comfortable. The new HVAC system had to meet the following criteria:
Increase zoning for better comfort;
Quiet operation;
Submetering capability;
Allow building to remain occupied during construction;
Allow phased installation;
Reduce carbon footprint;
Keep hard ceilings intact;
Provide control system that is simple and easy to operate;
Use existing supply/return duct for DOAS with a heat recovery unit.
A PROGRESSIVE DESIGN TO MEET THE TENANTS' NEEDS
The Rice Group (Seattle) was the mechanical design firm tasked with meeting the building occupants' impressive list of requirements. The Rice Group engineer needed to provide a Class A HVAC system without disrupting the day-to-day operations or cutting into existing construction. The engineer considered HVAC systems with VAV, water-source heat pump, single-zone splits (which would have required energy inefficient auxiliary electric strip heat) and VRF. He concluded that the only system that could meet all of this customer's expectations was VRF.
VRF ADVANTAGES
When comparing the first cost for the HVAC options, VRF came in the highest. However, after considering the additional electrical, ductwork, structural and architectural implications with the other systems, as well as the disruption to work activities for the building's occupants, VRF was determined to be the best choice for this remodel. VRF is the easiest to coordinate work of the different trades in a building because the VRF system does not require large ductwork or significant structural or architectural accommodations.
The VRF system has 54 independent temperature zones with a total of 76 tons of nominal cooling capacity. Unlike a VAV system, the VRF rooftop condensing units are easily situated on the roof and did not require any structural upgrade to the building. The ductless fan coils fit into the existing spaces without needing to open up the hard ceilings. No auxiliary heat is needed, but the engineer was careful to de-rate the heating capacity to outdoor design temperature of about 20°F.
He also sized his equipment using the sum of the peaks.
The ventilation air used the existing ductwork, and a heat recovery ventilator (HRV) was added to improve efficiency. The DOAS provided the ventilation air needed for each space, and the HRV tempered this air. The engineer also equipped the heat recovery unit with demand control ventilation. Because the building has operable windows, this design also took advantage of the building code provision to allow the required ventilation to be provided naturally or mechanically.
The control system from the VRF manufacturer has optional analog and digital input/output controllers to operate other equipment such as fans and pumps. In addition to allowing for the ability to monitor and trend each heat pump for tenant billing, the sub-metering also provides information on HRV effectiveness, outside air temperature and humidity, and CO2 levels.
This project is a good example of energy code exceptions for airside economizers. This building has great potential to transfer heat from warm zones to zones that need more heat. The internal/external heat recovery capability of VRF was estimated to save 5,600 kWh/yr.
HAPPY TENANTS
The tenants are comfortable with the HVAC remodel. The contractors and building owners are happy with VRF because callbacks after turnover are minimal.
MODERN TECHNOLOGY REQUIRES SPECIFIC TRAINING
One final note: many technologies may look like older technologies, but are actually quite different and require specialized training. Many new and evolving energy efficient technologies have come to market in the last decade, and every technology has nuances. When contractors incorporate a new technology into their portfolios, they should ask the technology manufacturer to provide training in using that technology.
Just as fuel injection replaced carburetors and condensing boilers will likely replace standard efficiency hot water boilers, VRF will likely own a significant part of the HVAC market in a very short time. And just because a mechanic can work on carburetors, it does not automatically follow that the mechanic will also be able to work on fuel injectors — especially if they do not receive specific training.
New technology introduced today will continue to evolve. Therefore, training from the manufacturer should be part of the construction contract. ES

isomers; monomers; organic polymers; broad-band spectrum; cluster calculations; free structures; infrared bands; infrared spectrum; molecular clusters; pair potential; oligomers
All singly substituted 13C, 18O, and 34S isotopomers of the previously known OCS trimer are observed in natural abundance in a broad-band spectrum measured with a chirped-pulse Fourier transform microwave spectrometer. The complete substitution structure thus obtained critically tests (and confirms) the common assumption that monomers tend to retain their free structure in a weakly bound cluster. A new OCS trimer isomer is also observed, and its structure is determined to be barrel-shaped but with the monomers all approximately aligned, in contrast to the original trimer which is barrel-shaped with two monomers aligned and one anti-aligned. An OCS tetramer spectrum is assigned for the first time, and the tetramer structure resembles an original trimer with an OCS monomer added at the end with two sulfur atoms. Infrared spectra observed in the region of the OCS ν1 fundamental (≈2060 cm-1) are assigned to the same OCS tetramer, and another infrared band is tentatively assigned to a different tetramer isomer. The experimental results are compared and contrasted with theoretical predictions from the literature and from new cluster calculations which use an accurate OCS pair potential and assume pairwise additivity.

News and car reviews in Malaysia
Mercedes-Benz A250: Baby Benz comes full circle
Denis Wong
No matter its imperfections, the last generation A-Class will be remembered as the hatch that banished the three-pointed star's stodgy image and stoked the interest of the 'trendy' crowd, turning many into converts. Along with other compact class offshoots and on-point messaging, the A-Class made Mercedes-Benz cool, even if its original 1990s' version was anything but.
Remember the moose?
Mercedes would rather you not remember anything about that 1997 episode. The concept of the A-Class then (which carried through to a second generation), while quirky and ingeniously packaged, never had a sporty (wish)bone in its lanky body. For the last generation model (W176), Mercedes-Benz developed a conventional hatchback from scratch and made it stylish and dynamic, it had powerful engines and a firm-riding suspension to convey sportiness. Trouble is, they made the ride too hard.
Dimensions have grown all round; raked profile makes the A250 appear fast while standing still.
So, let's address the elephant in the room; does the new A-Class ride properly now? Our A250 test unit, spec-ed for Malaysia with 'Comfort' suspension (don't let those names conjure up visions of a pillowy ride) and adorned with 18-inch AMG alloys, no longer fidgets over every sharp edge on the road nor shakes its occupants when it encounters a shallow pothole. I wouldn't quite call it supple, but this is a marked improvement.
Ride is no longer brittle, normal tyres (as opposed to run flats) may be a contributing factor.
The A250 still doesn't round off some of the nasty stuff encountered on our roads as well as say…a Volkswagen Golf GTI, but coexistence with the car no longer involve dodging manhole covers on a daily basis. What is worth taking note of is that the A250 is now shod with normal as opposed to run-flat tyres as found in the A200, maybe that helped too.
More than just the ride
When Steve Jobs showed off the first iPhone back in 2007, the LCD size measured 3.5-inch, a few years later, Samsung unveiled its first Note series that had a 5.3-inch OLED screen and we all thought that was bonkers. Today, flagship smartphones have displays well over six inches and we are entering the realm of communication devices with foldable screens.
It's all-new in the W177 A-Class, and you'll need time to take in all the tech.
The new A-Class, particularly its interior, reflects the time that we live in, and as much as I enjoy an analogue pointer dancing on a circular rev counter, I can't deny that the Merc's wide-screen cockpit display is nice to look at, highly customisable and carries a tonne of info, just like the smartphone you're probably reading this story on. But unlike some other manufacturers, Mercedes-Benz have retained physical controls where applicable, but improved on the build quality (bar a few slightly wobbly AC toggles) and usability of the new A-Class over the last one.
There's enough room at the back to accommodate three; graphics on the seats look sporty.
Much attention has been centred on the MBUX voice assistant that's supposed to help you do more things through spoken commands (so you can concentrate on driving), but like many pioneering technologies, there are hits and misses, so this comes off as gimmicky rather than genuinely useful, for now. That said, Siri and Google Assistant were far from the finished item on day one, we are pretty sure that Mercedes can only improve on this. Besides, there's Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity to fall back on, though you'll need a hard-to-source Type-C to Type-C USB cable.
Widescreen cockpit display is bright and impressive; physical controls retained for other key functions, phew!
More than just showboating
In what is a recurring theme in the auto industry, the A-Class has grown in just about every dimension; it's wider, lengthier, taller and has a longer wheelbase (by 30mm), but the new A-Class also looks more confident and less like it's trying to impress. Some might find the aesthetics more muted this time around, but this cleaner, leaner direction with fewer creases is a slow burner and fares better with time. Its best angle is perhaps looking straight at the CLS-inspired 'shark' snout grille cut-out, but more importantly, it is not something you would confuse with the old one.
Clean and mean: there is a welcomed absence of clutter in the styling of the new A-Class.
With the A35 and A45 AMGs to come, it's easy to dismiss the A250 as a pretender. But if you're lucky enough to be behind of the wheel of a A250, you'd know that it lacks nothing in the way of performance. The 224hp and 350Nm turbo four-pot and 7-speed dual-clutch transmission combo lays down power exceedingly well with minimal lag, supported by fast, crisp up-shifts; 100km/h from idle arrives in just 6.2 seconds, and it does feel as quick as the numbers indicate. And while there isn't much subjective sensation through the steering, its light, delicate response and strong brakes are conducive for a hard thrash on your favourite roads.
There are 64 hues of interior ambient lighting to pick from; colour of 'turbine' AC vents changes too.
Growing up Baby Benz
Hard to imagine that when Mercedes-Benz launched the original A-Class back in 1997, it was supposed to be a pioneering eco car with technologically advanced 'sandwich' construction nobody could tell. It took some soul-searching years later for Mercedes to realise that success with the A-Class lies in it being mainstream. Ironically, technology has returned as a core selling point of the fourth generation A-Class, only that it is now out to complement and bedazzle customers in a way that the original concept never quite managed…64 ambient colours, who would have thought.

Fabien Clavel, né en 1978 à Paris, est un auteur français de romans et de jeux de rôle.

Biographie
Fabien Clavel est né à Paris en 1978. Il est le frère du réalisateur Benjamin Clavel. Après avoir vécu à Pierrefonds (Oise), il a suivi des études de lettres classiques à Paris.

Tout en collaborant à divers jeux de rôle et au magazine Casus Belli, il publie, en 2002, aux éditions Mnémos, une série de romans inspirée du jeu Nephilim, avant de se consacrer à ses propres univers.

Parallèlement, en 2007, il se lance dans la littérature jeunesse aux éditions Mango, à la fois en fantasy et en science-fiction.
Sa série La Dernière Odyssée a été récompensée par deux prix.

Après avoir vécu en Hongrie entre 2007 et 2011, où il a enseigné le français et le latin au lycée français de Budapest, il est revenu en France, où il donne des cours de français, de latin et de littérature et société au lycée Julie-Victoire Daubié à Argenteuil jusqu'en 2019.

Il a été juré du prix Bob-Morane de 2015 à 2016. Il a également été contributeur, avec Isabelle Périer, de la chronique « Antiquité et imaginaire » pour le site La Vie des Classiques.

Bibliographie
Fabien Clavel est d'abord un auteur de fantasy, qu'elle soit urbaine (la tétralogie Nephilim), parodique (Les Légions dangereuses), mythologique (La Dernière Odyssée), arthurienne (L'Apprentie de Merlin) ou encore historique (Le Châtiment des Flèches).

Mais il s'est intéressé aussi à d'autres genres des littératures de l'imaginaire, comme l'uchronie (La Cité de Satan), le space opera (L'Océan des Étoiles), le fantastique (Homo Vampiris), la science-fiction post-apocalyptique (Requiem pour Elfe Noir), ou plus récemment la bit-lit (Le Miroir aux Vampires), le thriller (Décollage immédiat) et le steampunk (Feuillets de cuivre).

Son travail porte également sur la réécriture et l'adaptation de mythes classiques. Ainsi, dans La Niréide, il imagine le retour de Troie d'un guerrier grec méconnu. L'Antilégende reprend l'histoire de Don Juan, revenu des enfers. Avec L'Apprentie de Merlin, il réinvente la geste arthurienne vue par les yeux de l'élève du célèbre enchanteur.

Ancien professeur de français et de latin au lycée Gustave-Eiffel de Budapest, la découverte de l'opéra rock hongrois István, a király lui inspire son roman de fantasy historique Le châtiment des flèches.

Avec son roman Compagnons, il explore pour la première fois une veine réaliste.

The Mirror: Bridget Jones star Sally Phillips whose 11-year-old son Ollie has Down's Syndrome slams new screening tests: "It's upsetting"
Actress Sally Phillips has argued that there is a case for banning screening tests to detect Down's Syndrome in unborn babies.
The Bridget Jones' star, whose 11-year-old son Ollie has Down's Syndrome, argued that if we're trying to become a more "inclusive society" such tests should not have a place.
Mother-of-three Sally, 45, said that the "arms race for new technology" was "upsetting" as she found it de-humanises the people with Down's Syndrome.


Ramires is a divisive midfielder. While all of us appreciate his willingness to run through walls for the shirt, others chastise him for his erratic passing and errant decision making.
For every glorious vignette – and who could forget that chip which sailed mere centimetres over the outstretched arm of Victor Valdes, before nestling sweetly in Barcelona's net? – there is a head-in-hands moment waiting to happen.
Ramires's entire performance against Aston Villa away last season (all 44 minutes of it before he was sent off) verged on unwatchable. Late tackles, high feet, being dispossessed too easily, it highlighted his worst traits. Indeed, for months after his arrival many Chelsea fans were unsure of him. His passing in particular stood out as weak for a centre-midfielder, and even his energy seemed dampened by the weight of trying to adjust to the English game.
Can Brazil make home advantage count in 2014?
On 16th July 1950 in Rio de Janeiro's Maracana, Alcides Ghiggia completed a storming run to fire in a goal at the near post, securing a Uruguayan victory in that year's World Cup. The goal was met with near silence in a primarily Brazilian crowd of 173,850, stunned into submission by one of the greatest upsets in football history. The loss burned in the hearts of the biggest footballing nation on the planet, their right to win thwarted by their tiny neighbour to the south.


Today's color palette is inspired by my nieces and nephews; a rubber duck color palette extravaganza … or something like that. Like most photos, there's a story behind this one. After a play-day at my house with 4 awesome kids, when I cleaned up after they left I found some toys left out … and it was so cute. One of the kids left my rubber ducks out in kissing position … I don't know who it was, but my suspicious lead me to believe it was a girl! But no matter who it was it's one of those things that make you smile, laugh, and say: "How cute is that?" So today's color palette is all about these rubber ducks. Use the rubber duck color palette to create your own masterpiece! Create digital art, scrapbook a new page, draw in your journal, break out the clay and make something! The sky (or water in this case) is the limit.

This year's Levitt AMP series is all about genre-bending fusions and culture blends. No artist captures that goal more uniquely than Gangstagrass! Join us Thursday, July 25th for a righteous blend of urban and Appalachian, a fusion of bluegrass and hip hop. Featured on the soundtrack for Blackkklansman and the Emmy-winning theme song to FX's Justified, Gangstagrass is gritty, soulful country hip hop music that you'll need to hear to believe.


(Doom Nibbler Records) I really liked these guys when they sent me their CD-EP last year for review. All I can say is that they've gotten better. Great songs that fall into the emo / punk-pop range reminding me of bands like Pezz, The Get Up Kids… The only problem is that once again this is an EP…only three more songs. I need more!

Frequently Asked Questions in Central Region
Where is the best place to live in Central Region?
What salary is needed to live comfortably in Central Region?
There is a range of occupations in Central Region. While some are well-paying like the legal profession and investment banking, others are much less so, particularly for teachers and nurses. After taking into account housing and transportation, it does not bode well for teachers and nurses who live in Central Region. One major perk unknown to some working professionals is that they can generally purchase goods and services at much lower cost by paying with their Residential or Commercial (RC) Utilities Bills. Also, certain government and corporate subsidies apply to you if your occupation falls within this category. Still, it is important to note that while medical expenditures are subsidised, the government health subsidy has a ceiling per household of SGD$200. Furthermore,
What is the minimum rental period in Central Region?
Programs for Elderly and Persons with Disabilities (EPD) Most Housing Choice Voucher participants who are elderly or have disabilities, and some Project-Based Section 8 participants, are eligible for additional assistance through a program called the Program for Elderly and Persons with Disabilities (commonly referred to as EPD). This program makes housing more affordable by paying part of their rent directly to landlords on their behalf. For information about the maximum income limits and other eligibility requirements for this program, please visit the Housing Authority's website: http://www.nyshcr.org/opportunity/elderly-persons-with-disabilities.html
How can I save my rent in Central Region?
4. Singapore has numerous laws that aim to control the use of the Internet or cyberspace, such as the Singapore Act 3/2012 on public order and security. Can you elaborate why these measures have been introduced? Have there been protests from civil society? What are your thoughts about having these kinds of laws in place? Also, please specify if these issues affect mainly local people or tourists. Under the Sedition Act of Singapore, anyone who racially hates any one based on his identity or religion can be arrested for sedition. Also, here is a law called ISP Act, it's used by the government to control online content and regulate whoever who brings out online content. If you upload any pornographic contents or post anything against the government,
Does rent include utilities Central Region?
Utilities may be prorated, or they may not be included in the rent at all. Many times it is residential facilities like pools and party centers--parking lots, even--that are billed separately. Please contact us at 469-407-3318 to schedule your appointment with a leasing consultant today!
Can I let my friend stay in my HDB?
Can I Get Around Singapore to Explore and Do Things? You may have enjoyed being able to walk to places when you lived in the U.S., but you will find that Singapore is not a very walking-friendly place. So if you don't plan on driving, you should start planning for how you will get around the island. Do Not Drive With A License From Another Country As mentioned above, you may have driven with a driver's license from another country in the past, but if that is not your current country of residence, you will not be able to drive in Singapore unless you obtain a local driver's license. The exception is when you are driving through Singapore, but you must possess a valid international
Who cannot rent HDB?
After you are approved for an HDB flat, the particulars of your flat will be shown and your rent will either be $0 or $88, depending on the size of your flat. If you have a few pieces of mail in your mailbox, it is possible that you had been moved into the flat prior to this point. At this point, you are required to pay a security deposit based on the size of your flat. Typically, the deposit is equal to a full month's rent, but is subject to change. If you are renting a studio flat, it is okay if the deposit is only one month's rent because you will have to pay full deposit when you renew the lease. If you bothered
Can I rent out my HDB and stay in condo?
You may also share your condo unit with a roommate. Remember that tenants in Singapore get the option to renew their lease terms on an annual basis. This means that you can rent out your condo unit for 1 year, and then bring in a new tenant after your lease expires. You will not be able to do this if you own a second-hand HDB flat as the HDB does not allow you to sublet or transfer your unit. However, you may always consider selling your condo unit. If you are strapped for cash and wish to generate long-term rental income, you could buy an older HDB flat and then sell it off at a later stage. It is entirely up to you how you choose to manage your needs and
How many times can I buy a new HDB flat?
Different types of eligible Singapore citizens can apply Depending on your nationality and residential status, you may be eligible to apply for a HDB flat directly from the authority. These include Singapore Citizens, Singapore Permanent Residents and foreigners who are employed in Singapore. Your eligibility to purchase new resale flats, however, also depends on your nationality and residential status. Singapore Citizens, who have been employed or resided in Singapore for at least 1 year, are allowed to buy two new HDB flats. Likewise, Singapore Permanent Residents can buy one. Foreigners residing in Singapore for at least 3 years can buy one new HDB flat after residing in the country for a minimum period of 30 months. Whereas foreign employees working in
Can 55 years old buy BTO?
These are called HDB 2-room flexi units, and although there is some flexibility in the size and layout, these units allow buyers to purchase a smaller flat than the ones sold under the BTO Scheme. Due to their small size, these flats are only available for residents who are unable to purchase an 80 sq m or larger unit, either from HDB or from the resale market. The option to purchase these is restricted to users who are at least 35 years old, and whose household income is less than $4,000 per month. Additionally, users living in a standalone flat must own a legal household car and have no dependent children living with them. This is another housing option that is available to elderly Singaporeans
Is it worth to buy 2-room Flexi?
For more information about 2-room Flexi units, click here. Furnished Flats Selling Points: Price, Easy to commute Noteworthy Disadvantages: Cozy, Less privacy Furnished flats are basically rental homes that come complete with items such as furniture, beddings, and appliances. If a prospective tenant is looking to move into a good apartment at a low fixed price, a furnished flat may be the right choice. However, furnished flats tend to be smaller than normal rental apartments or condos, which means that they have less space for storing personal items. Also, since furnished flats are by definition already furnished, they are not ideally suited for families who have a lot of belongings or
Can I use CPF to buy 2-room Flexi?
Also, only HDB has the right to use your CPF to purchase a home under the current law. Basically, HDB is the only seller of homes in Singapore. Hence, while the existing law allows you to use your CPF to purchase a flat from another owner from another developer, there really isn't anyone to sell you a flat other than HDB. In addition, 2-room flats are unlikely to see much of an increase in resale price, or at least not as much as 3-room flats. This does not include developments where all units have been acquired under the Selective En bloc programme, where those 2-room flexi units are unlikely be moved out. Do keep in
How big is a 2-room flat in Central Region?
Töölahe Villaga Singlestorey Apartment in Tallinn Determining Total Size It is possible to determine the total square footage of a two-room flat by adding up individual square footages of each room. For example, a bedroom and the living room of a flat are 12 square feet and 50 square feet respectively. Total size of the flat must be around 62 sf. Bedrooms 11 square feet is the average amount of floor space in a bedroom. However, the actual measurement depends on the location of the flat, and design of the particular flat. In some twin-share flats, for example, bedrooms are slightly smaller because space is shared with a twin-share
What is a good expat salary in Central Region?
Expats living in the Central Region will experience a different working culture depending on which sector they work in. For example, expats working in the technology sector will likely be able to work comfortably from their own home, whereas expats in other industries may be expected to attend regular meetings face-to-face. Typically, expats will have their own office spaces and will be encouraged to dress formally at work. Those who work with teams may be expected to work very long hours, which is most common for people who work in engineering and IT-related fields. While there are many advantages to living in Central Region, expats should also be prepared for a high cost of living, which is what can lead to lower salaries in this

An 1888 lithograph of the 1883 eruption of Krakatoa.
The 1883 eruption of Krakatoa in the Dutch East Indies (now Indonesia) began on August 26, 1883 (with origins as early as May of that year) and culminated with several destructive eruptions of the remaining caldera. On August 27, two thirds of Krakatoa collapsed in a chain of titanic explosions, destroying most of the island and its surrounding archipelago. Additional alleged seismic activity continued to be reported until February 1884, though reports of those after October 1883 were later dismissed by Rogier Verbeek's investigation. It was one of the deadliest and most destructive volcanic events in recorded history, with at least 36,417 deaths being attributed to the eruption itself and the tsunamis it created. Significant additional effects were also felt around the world.

Jack the Ripper is the best-known name given to an unidentified serial killer who was active in the largely impoverished areas in and around the Whitechapel district of London in 1888. The name originated in a letter written by someone claiming to be the murderer that was widely disseminated in the media. The letter is widely believed to have been a hoax, and may have been written by a journalist in a deliberate attempt to heighten interest in the story. Within the crime case files as well as journalistic accounts the killer was known as "the Whitechapel Murderer" as well as "Leather Apron".

New league tables showing how much progress pupils have made at secondary schools across Warwickshire have been published today (Thursday January 25).
For the first time, schools are now being judged by a 'Progress 8' score, which measures how much progress pupils have made at school compared to pupils at other schools who achieved similar Key Stage 2 results.
The new measurement puts Stratford Girls' Grammar School at the top with a score of 0.74, while King Edward VI School was second with 0.68. Both are performing 'well above average'.
The highest-ranked comprehensive schools are Campion School and Kenilworth School, which both had a Progress 8 score of 0.54.
The worst performing schools according to their Progress 8 score included the special school Round Oak in Warwick, which scored -1.57. Bilton School in Rugby also fared somewhat poorly, with a score of -0.38.
Overall, Warwickshire scored 0.06 overall in Progress 8 - rated as 'above average' compared to other schools in the country. For all state funded schools in England, the average score is -0.03.

Лы́щицы () — деревня в Брестском районе Брестской области Белоруссии, в составе Лыщицкого сельсовета. Население — 81 человек (2019). В окрестностях деревни находится одно из крупнейших (из 25 открытых) в Брестском районе месторождений торфа.

География
Деревня Лыщицы расположена в 27 км по автодорогам к северо-западу от центра города Брест и в 10 км к северу от границы с Польшей. Местность принадлежит бассейну Вислы, к северу от деревни протекает небольшая река Лютая, приток Лесной. Деревня соединена местными дорогами с Новыми Лыщицами и Остромечево. В трёх километрах от деревни, в Новых Лыщицах находится ж/д платформа Лыщицы (линия Белосток — Брест).

История
Согласно письменным источникам поселение известно с XVI века как деревня в Трокском воеводстве Великого княжества Литовского, а после административно-территориальной реформы середины XVI века в Берестейском воеводстве. Имение было родовым гнездом рода Лыщинских. В 1634 году здесь родился философ-атеист Казимир Лыщинский. В XVIII столетии имение перешло к роду Вислоцких.

После третьего раздела Речи Посполитой (1795) в составе Российской империи, с 1801 года — в Гродненской губернии. Во второй половине XIX века Вислоцкие возвели в Лыщицах дворянскую усадьбу с пейзажным парком, которая была уничтожена в годы Великой Отечественной войны.

В 1886 году и далее — центр Лыщицкой волости Брестского уезда. По переписи 1897 года — 60 дворов. В 1905 году в деревне находились телеграфная станция, участки воинской повинности, сельского фельдшера, мирового судебного округа.

В Первую мировую войну с 1915 года деревня оккупирована германскими войсками. Согласно Рижскому мирному договору (1921) вошла в состав межвоенной Польши, где была центром гмины Лыщицы Брестского повета Полесского воеводства и насчитывала 52 двора.

KINSHIP carers are planning a protest at Holyrood to convince MSPs to provide more support for people looking after family members.
MSPs are due to debate the Children and Young People Bill and the campaigners want an amendment backed which will protect or increase the assistance for kinship carers.
The campaigners argue the new Kinship Care orders gives less support than children currently receive if they have looked after status, while being cared for by a relative, often a grandparent.
The Kinship Care Alliance argues the new orders will reduce the number of children with looked after status which reduces financial support.
Removing looked after status in favour of a Kinship Care Order they argue will remove the priority access to psychological support many of the children require.
They also want a minimum level of financial support provided by local authorities to cover the cost of basic childcare.
Up to 1000 campaigners and supporters are expected to protest outside the Scottish Parliament next Wednesday when the Bill is to be considered by MSPs.
Anne Schwartz, chairwoman of Scottish Kinship Care Alliance, said: "It is despicable that the Scottish Government is trying to further reduce support, which is already inadequate, under this Bill.
"Children in kinship care should not suffer because their family members have taken them into their care, where they have maximum stability and love, rather than letting them go into the foster or residential care systems.
"These children have comparable needs and should have access to the same services as those in other forms of care."
Tina Hendry, a Kinship carer who is deputy chairwoman of the Alliance, said children in kinship care are experiencing a range of problems that require additional help.
