Lexus and Toyota brings low-cost Automated Braking Safety systems
News, Passenger Cars
By ScoopMeister On March 31, 2015 No Comments
– Toyota Safety Sense and Lexus Safety System-Plus Raise The Bar On Automated Driver-Assist
– Packages Available On Nearly All Models and Trim Levels By End of 2017
The world's first compact crossover sport utility vehicle (SUV) and the world's first luxury crossover SUV are helping to bring advanced safety technology to the mass market; raising the bar and lowering the price. The move is a major stride towards Toyota's vision of a mobility future that improves safety and is more convenient for everyone, bringing a package of automated driver assist technologies closer to the mainstream.
At separate press conferences Wednesday and Thursday at the New York Auto Show, Toyota will reveal its first-ever RAV4 Hybrid SUV, while Lexus unveils its all-new fourth-generation RX luxury crossover SUV. Both debuts will mark the arrival of new, multi-feature, integrated safety packages, each anchored by automated pre-collision braking and offered at a price dramatically below comparable systems across the auto industry.
Toyota Safety Sense (TSS) and Lexus Safety System+ (LSS+) are designed to support the driver's awareness, decision making and vehicle operation over a wide range of speeds. Packaged together in an integrated system, their features help address three key areas of accident protection: preventing or mitigating rear collisions, keeping drivers within their lane, and enhancing road safety during night time driving. The systems are intended to address commonly occurring crash types according to traffic accident statistical analyses.
First announced in Japan this past November, both packages reflect Toyota's desire to make safety technology available to a wider range of new car buyers. TSS will be offered in the form of two packages: Toyota Safety Sense C for compact cars and TSS P for mid-sized and premium models will be available as an optional accessory from approximately $300 and $500, respectively – a price point unheard of for this array of safety technologies. Lexus Safety System+ aims to further expand the use of these systems across luxury models, integrating highly-effective active safety features into an optional accessory priced from approximately $500 to $635.
TSS will initially be available on the RAV4 and Avalon, and three additional models which will be announced later this year. LSS+ will initially be available on RX, and four additional models to be announced later this year. Both packages will provide an added layer of safety capability on top of Toyota's existing Star Safety System, a suite of six key safety technologies that are included as standard on every new vehicle.
The Toyota Safety Sense C package features three proprietary active safety technologies, and combines a camera and laser radar for enhanced performance and reliability. The package can help prevent or mitigate collisions in a wide range of vehicle speeds.
Pre-collision System (PCS)
PCS uses a camera and laser radar to detect objects ahead of the vehicle. When the system determines there is a possibility of collision it prompts the driver to brake with an audio and visual alert. If the driver notices the hazard and brakes, the system provides additional braking force. If the driver fails to brake in a set time, the system automatically applies the brakes, reducing speed by approximately 19 mph *1 in order to prevent or mitigate the collision. The operational range of PCS covers speeds at which at least 80 percent of rear-end collisions occur (i.e. relative speeds of between approximately 7 – 50 mph).
Lane Departure Alert (LDA)
LDA uses a camera to detect visible white and yellow lane markings. If the system determines that the vehicle is starting to deviate from the lane, LDA alerts the driver with an audio and visual alert.
Automatic High Beam (AHB)
AHB helps enhance forward visibility during nighttime driving. It uses a camera to detect the headlights of oncoming vehicles and the tail lights of vehicles ahead, and then automatically switches between high beams and low beams so as not to dazzle other drivers.
Toyota Safety Sense P combines a camera and millimeter-wave radar for enhanced performance and reliability. In addition to the three active safety technologies included in the Toyota Safety Sense C package, the Pre-collision System offered with this package also includes a pedestrian detection function. In addition, Toyota Safety Sense P offers Radar Cruise Control functionality. (see below)
Pedestrian Pre-collision System
This system uses millimeter-wave radar and a camera to help detect pedestrians in certain conditions in addition to vehicles. To help prevent or mitigate collisions, the system activates an audio and visual alert in addition to brake assist, followed by automated braking if the driver does not brake in a set time. Automated braking operates at relative speeds of between 7- 50 mph for potential collisions with pedestrians, and can reduce speed by approximately 19 mph*1. For potential collisions with vehicles, the enhanced PCS system included with the Toyota Safety Sense P package operates at relative speeds of between 7 mph and the vehicle's top speed, reducing speed by approximately 25 mph*2.
Dynamic Radar Cruise Control
On highways, Radar Cruise Control uses millimeter-wave radar to detect preceding vehicles and determine their speed. It then is designed to adjust vehicle speed (within a set range) to help maintain a pre-set distance between vehicles. By using a forward-facing camera and millimeter-wave radar to monitor vehicles merging into or out of the lane, Radar Cruise Control helps maintain smooth acceleration and deceleration while driving.
LEXUS SAFETY SYSTEM +
Lexus Safety System + integrates several of Lexus's existing active safety technologies: under certain conditions the Pre-Collision System (PCS) helps prevent and mitigate collisions; Lane Departure Alert (LDA) helps prevent vehicles from departing from their lanes; and Automatic High Beam (AHB) helps ensure enhanced forward visibility during nighttime driving. As part of a multi-faceted approach to active safety, the Lexus Safety System + package combines millimeter-wave radar with a camera, achieving high reliability and performance.
This system uses millimeter-wave radar and a camera to detect pedestrians in addition to vehicles. To help prevent or mitigate collisions, the system activates an audio and visual alert in addition to brake assist, followed by automated braking if the driver does not brake in time. Automated braking operates at relative speeds of between 7 – 50 mph for potential collisions with pedestrians, and can reduce speed by approximately 19 mph*1. For potential collisions with vehicles, the PCS system operates at relative speeds of between 7 mph and the vehicle's top speed, reducing speed by approximately 25 mph*2.
LDA uses a camera to detect visible white and yellow lane markings. If the vehicle starts to deviate from a lane, LDA alerts the driver with an audio-visual alert and steering wheel vibration. Some models are also equipped with Lane Keep Assist, which controls power steering to help make it easier for the driver to remain within lane markings.
Dynamic Radar Cruise Control (DRCC)
On highways, Dynamic Radar Cruise Control uses millimeter-wave radar to detect preceding vehicles and determine their speed. It then adjusts vehicle speed (within a set range) to help maintain a pre-set distance between vehicles. By using a forward-facing camera and millimeter-wave radar to monitor vehicles moving into or out of the lane, DRCC helps maintain smooth acceleration and deceleration while driving.

The two-word definition of hypnosis is focused concentration. When you relax your physical body and focus all your attention in one area – that is how you can enter a state of hypnosis. Hypnosis is a state of mind where you are able to accept suggestions that you normally are unable to. This is often referred to as a "trance" state. Hypnosis is a "tool" that can be used to create positive changes in your life.
Is hypnosis safe to do?
Hypnosis has been around for thousands of years and it has been called many things. The movies and television have sometimes portrayed hypnosis to be mind controlling or supernatural simply for viewer effect. Hypnosis is a natural state that we actually go into several times a day without realizing it. You might be watching a television program or reading a book and someone in another room is calling you. You are so focused on what you are watching or reading, you don't hear the other person who has repeatedly called you. You might be thinking about something while you are driving your car and when you arrive at your destination, you say, "The car must have been on autopilot, I don't remember driving that past two miles!" These are all examples of being in hypnosis.
Where will I be hypnotized?
All sessions are private, one-on-one sessions in my professional office. I do not do group sessions for most clients. Group settings tend to be distractive and impersonal. When you are in my office, you are the only client I am focused on. Your needs are my only concern. I arrange travel visits for clients who are homebound and for busy professionals who have the proper office setting available. I also travel out-of-state for V.I.P. clients. Travel appointments are at additional costs, please inquire through my office.
Most people can be hypnotized. Usually children under the age of eight or adults with dementia cannot be hypnotized as they lack the ability to focus.
There is generally no special feeling associated with hypnosis. You should, at the very least, feel comfortable and relaxed. You may experience a feeling of floating, sinking or drifting. Sometimes a feeling of heaviness or lightness may occur.
Will I remember what took place while I was hypnotized?
I give specific suggestions during every session that you will remember everything that took place during the hypnosis.
Can you make me so silly things while I am in hypnosis?
This is a professional office and clients come here for specific reasons. You are not here to participate in a stage performance or a comedy show. The only suggestions I give you are the ones you come here for to achieve your goals.
Yes. I teach self-hypnosis for many reasons. By learning how to hypnotize yourself, you can use this "tool" at your convenience without having to keep coming back to my office. Some areas of hypnosis such as weight control require reinforcement and you can do it at your convenience. The more you use hypnosis, the better you get at it.
Is it difficult to learn how to do self-hypnosis?
Learning how to hypnotize yourself is like learning how to ride a bicycle. Some people can get on a bike and ride pretty well right away and others will take some practice. The more you do it, the better you become.
How many sessions does it take to learn how to do self-hypnosis?
I prefer to teach you how to hypnotize yourself in three sessions. The sessions are about a week apart and you will learn four different methods of self-hypnosis over the course of three sessions. This will also give you ample time to practice in-between sessions while at home.
Most hypnosis in not covered by insurance. I will gladly provide you with a statement for your session(s). You can submit this to your insurance company for consideration. I have had clients who have been reimbursed by their insurance carrier for my professional services. Hypnosis for smoking cessation may be eligible for a tax deduction, see IRS information page for further details.


The two little children were face to face as they babbled with each other in high spirits. One child was sitting on Wei Luo's lap and the other child was lying down by Wei Luo's legs. Ran Ran had just turned one year old and only knew simple words. She had a very obedient temperament and was slightly shy. When outsiders tried to play with her, she wouldn't say much. But, in front of her parents and older brother, she would frequently laugh happily. Right now, with Zhao Xi playing with her, her limpid, almond-shaped eyes were curved into crescent moons as she bit her bottom lip and giggled.
A year ago, Wei Luo had made the decision to find husbands for her servant girls. Bai Lan had been married off, but Jin Lu refused to leave and continued to serve at Wei Luo's side. By now, Jin Lu was considered an old maid. Wei Luo didn't want to continue delaying her marriage and had recently started looking for a good marriage partner for her. Wei Luo had taken note that whenever Zhu Geng came over with Zhao Jie, his gaze would always intentionally or otherwise fall on Jin Lu. However, Jin Lu would always lower her head and not look back. Wei Luo had paid attention to all of this and an idea had almost formed in her mind.

Right now, Jin Lu was carrying Ran Ran and walking with Zhao Xi towards the grape lattice that was across from the wisteria lattice.
Although Zhao Xi was mischievous and lively, he revered Zhao Jie from the bottom of his heart. He could act cutely spoiled and show off in front of Wei Luo. But, he could also curb his natural tendencies in front of Zhao Jie and change his demeanor into a straightforward and composed one. Moreover, he didn't dare to be so sticky with his mother when Zhao Jie was around. Because if he did that, Zhao Jie would look at him with a cold and threatening gaze. This gaze made him feel odd and it also made him want to timidly retreat.
Later on, Zhao Xi finally found out that it was because his imperial father had been very jealous over what happened when he was recently born. During that period, his mother had always been holding him and wholeheartedly only caring about him. And so, even now, his imperial father would still feel jealous and that was why he would look at him with that expression.
Zhao Jie looked at the rosy-cheeked rice ball that Jin Lu was carrying. In comparison to his gaze when he had been looking at Zhao Xi, his expression was much gentler when he looked at Ran Ran. Perhaps, it was because Ran Ran looked similar to Wei Luo, so he would frequently hug and hold her. Today was the same. He took Ran Ran from Jin Lu and scratched her little nose while holding her in his arms. He curved his lips and said a few words to little Ran Ran.
Little Ran Ran didn't understand what he was saying. She only knew how to softly and sweetly call him, "Daddy." The milky scent from her body diluted Zhao Jie's recently irritable and anxious feelings and let him gradually calm down.
After the father and daughter talked for a bit, as Zhao Jie was about to hand Ran Ran over to Jin Lu, he happened to lower his head and see the other little white radish.
"En." Zhao Xi nodded and led Jin Lu and Ran Ran to the nearby grape trellis. Although the little fellow hid his feelings well, Zhao Jie still saw the longing in his eyes. He had probably been too harsh towards him during the past few years.
Zhao Xi had only walked two steps before Zhao Jie's voice stopped him again. He turned his head and swiftly walked back, "Imperial father, is there something else?
He remembered how Wei Luo had once eaten too many grapes and ended up throwing up after she returned home. In the end, she had to lay in bed for few days before she felt better.
The little fellow ran off while feeling very satisfied. He was so happy that it seemed as if there was wind beneath his steps.
Liuli had given birth to a daughter two years ago. Her nickname was Jin-er. Every time she came to the palace, she would look for Zhao Xi to play with.


Why do you want a comfy nook couch ? The reply is straightforward – as a result of it is probably the most user-friendly piece of furniture! You aren't satisfied? Think about your self with your loved ones subsequent to the fireside , it is chilly exterior, the snow is falling gently and you're quietly sitting in your sofa within the living room listening to music or watching Christmas motion pictures with those that love you probably the most.
Good image, isn't it? So it is excessive time to purchase a big, comfy nook couch on your home or condo. if it isn't already the case, after all. But when it is not budgeted, possibly you'll be able to simply play just a little with the design by including a number of ornamental cushions . The impact is twofold – your outdated sofa doesn't have the identical look and, furthermore, it's extra comfy and alluring.

'We are living in fear' says Pakistani Association
Community news / 6 September 2019, 10:00am / LATOYA NEWMAN, JANINE MOODLEY AND NATHAN CRAIG
A South African family's business was reduced to ashes over the weekend. Opportunistic criminals are believed to have maximised on violent xenophobic chaos in Malvern, Johannesburg, when they torched Salbro Auto car dealership. Supplied
Durban - RIZWAN Farooqui is a Pakistani national who has been living in South Africa for 23 years and, although he was not born here, he feels as much South African as any other local.
But in the wake of the latest xenophobic attacks, the former spokesperson for the Pakistani Association in South Africa said many people were living in fear and planned to leave the country.
"They do not feel safe anymore, which is sad. We contribute to the economy just like every other citizen. We are taxpayers. We work hard and we obey the law, yet our lives are threatened," said Farooqui, who is also the Durban spokesperson for the Muhajir Qaumi Movement (a secular political party in Pakistan).
"When Nelson Mandela was around, this didn't happen. We were happy and felt welcome, but not anymore."
Dr Akhtar Hussain, the association's current chairperson, said he was confident the government would resolve the matter.
Tushar Das, the president of the Bengali Association of SA, added that they were also scared.
"When they are in the thick of it, the mob doesn't care, they just rampage. You don't have to just be a small business owner, you just have to be foreignHow can we justify this behaviour or tell people to come and start new lives here? We expect and deserve more from the leadership We must rally and fight against acts of xenophobia."
Speaking on behalf of China City's management, Xiao Hong said they feared the attacks in Johannesburg would reach Durban. "We saw the pictures and were terrified so management and tenants met to address the fear."
He said additional security was hired on Monday and asked that police increase patrols. Although appreciative of the additional support, he feared it was not enough.
Yasmin Rajah, the director of the NGO, Refugee Social Services, said in July many foreign-owned small businesses in Richards Bay were burned. Today their families remain displaced.
"Even some of my own staff are living on edge. They use taxis, they walk the streets, they have children and they fear they could be attacked, just because they are foreigners."
She said unemployment, poverty, and political instability were among the factors contributing to the attacks.
"When you monitor what is happening there is a sense the crime and looting are planned. So where is the police intelligence? People are not feeling protected. My question is, when foreign nationals are gone, who is next? Will it be a particular race group? Or a particular cultural group?"
She said the attacks were not just a policing, government or NGO matter.
"We all need to condone it."
On Sunday, South African businessman Abdullah Salajee's 29-year-old family-owned car dealership in Malvern, Johannesburg, was burned to the ground. Two cars were stolen.
"My father and his brother started a business, first a small supermarket and then the car business. They worked hard from scratch. My elder brother and I later joined the business, Salbro Auto, after we finished school. We run it with our partner, Ravi Moodley.
"We left the dealership on Friday, locked up and planned to return on Monday. But we came back to rubble and ashes. We have no insurance. Everything we have was in this dealership."
He said the culprits, who he referred to as "criminal opportunists", knew they were South Africans.
Salajee said most dealerships in the area had since moved vehicles elsewhere, fearful they would also be attacked.
The Right2Know Campaign said it was a "national shame" xenophobic violence had become a regular feature of the country's political landscape. The SA Human Rights Commission said it recognised the social, economic and political factors which gave rise to the unrest.
In a statement, the Government Communication and Information System said no amount of grievance or unhappiness could justify the looting of shops, destruction of properties, and the illegal blocking of roads. "Such acts constitute a criminal offence and the law enforcement agencies must respond without any fear or favour."
Seventy arrests were made in Gauteng for violence and looting of shops in Ekurhuleni, Tshwane and the Johannesburg CBD.

Jussie Smollett Arrested For Allegedly Lying About Attack
Theo Wargo/Getty Images
Jussie Smollett has been taken into police custody.
In just a few short days, the victim has officially turned into the suspect. When Jussie Smollett was attacked in the streets of Chicago, fans were empathetic toward the Empire actor. The beatdown was reported to have been a homophobic and racist assault. In the past week, crucial details were revealed about the case that insinuated the purported attack was actually staged. Finally, Smollett has been arrested and taken into police custody according to CNN.
Cindy Ord/Getty Images
The actor was taken into custody at around 5:00 AM today ahead of a 1:00 PM bail hearing. Yesterday, it was reported that he was facing a felony charge for filing a false police report. Jussie was hesitant to even file a report at first, according to the police, and even admitted as much in his "tell-all" interview with ABC News.
In that same interview, Jussie revealed the details of his alleged attack, claiming that two men with "MAGA" hats hurled racial and homophobic slurs at him, before proceeding to punch him in the face, which led to a fight between all three. He claimed the two men left him with a noose around his neck and threw bleach on him. The police investigation led them to detain two Nigerian brothers, Abimbola and Olabinjo Osundairo, as suspects in the alleged hate crime-- but the story started to unravel when the Osundairo brothers told the police that they were paid to "attack" Jussie, and even practiced the routine prior to the fateful Chicago night. What's more, video footage has since surfaced showing the two brothers purchasing ski masks, red hats, sunglasses and gloves.
Jussie Smollett's attorney had previously maintained his innocence. How do you think he will plea in court?

KC Navarro Discusses WWE Tryout Rumors, Kylie Rae's Main Event Match, Warrior Title Defense Against Buddy Matthews, & More! - Exclusive
KC Navarro
By Nick Hausman/Jan. 20, 2023 1:02 pm EST
Tomorrow night in South Bend, Indiana, Warrior Wrestling returns with its latest indie dream card, as it presents Warrior Wrestling 27: Back To The Bend. The main event will see AEW star and House of Black disciple Buddy Matthews battle Warrior Wrestling Champion KC Navarro.
While many pro wrestling fans are familiar with Matthews' work in WWE and now AEW, most of them are likely just now getting acquainted with Navarro. The indie standout most recently spent time under a deal with Major League Wrestling, but has previously held gold for promotions like Combat Zone Wrestling and House of Glory. Him momentum has continued to build, and at the end of 2022, it was reported that Navarro, along with Kylie Rae and former ROH stars Vincent and Dutch, had participated in a WWE tryout.
In this exclusive interview with Wrestling Inc. Senior News Editor Nick Hausman, Navarro talks about his upcoming Warrior title defense, what he's learned working with Buddy Matthews, his much-rumored WWE tryout, and more!
Putting Gold On The Line Against Buddy Matthews
Nick Hausman: You have a huge Warrior Wrestling title defense coming up ... Let's start there. What are you thinking heading into this match?
KC Navarro: Not going to lie, I'm a little nervous. Why? I have faced Buddy Matthews before. Anybody that knows, knows I wrestled Buddy Matthews. I was his first match back on the Indies when he left the WWE, okay? That match has over a quarter million views. Go check it out. But this Buddy Matthews isn't the same as that Buddy Matthews in 2021. This is a darker Buddy Matthews, a guy that hangs around Malaki Black and his other goons. I don't know what to expect. I hope that Malachi and the other boys don't show up, because I don't want none of that. But I do have the FTC LLC, so I can feel good about that.
But I just know Buddy's on a different level right now, and he's a different, darker guy. He's probably a lot more methodical than he used to be. He was a hard opponent before, but I'm sure he is even harder now. But I don't think that's going to bother me as much knowing that I have a group behind me, too. And I believe that I've gotten my skills sharpened 10 times more since then. I'm way more experienced since then. I'm known as one of the top prospects in the world right now. And I'll take that. I mean, I am the Warrior World Champion for a reason. I took it from Ospreay for a reason, and I think if I could take it from Ospreay, I could damn sure take it from Buddy.
Will Osprey right now is one of the centers of the universe. To be able to say you took the title off of him is a pretty big honor for you, I would think.
A hundred percent. A hundred percent it was.
So with Buddy Matthews, you guys obviously have some history. You've watched him grow over the last, I guess, year and a half now with House of Black. What do you think of the way that AEW has allowed him to kind of reinvent himself? This is very different than what we saw previously from him in WWE.
Outside of all the wrestle stuff, Buddy's one of the most creative people I know. With this, having this freedom to be able to do something very creative, he has such a creative mind. I think him in the House of Black are going to do such big things, and this is going to be a side of Buddy that no one's ever gotten to see. I mean, I'd never even seen it before. So I think this is going to be a big turnaround for his career, and I'm sure big things are going to come out of it.
Learning From A House Of Black Disciple
When you get close to a guy like this, and you're learning from a Buddy Matthews, how close do you feel to leveling up right now? I mean, it's no secret that you are a rising star right now in the industry and, to the best of my knowledge, you're a free agent at the moment. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Correct, I am currently a free agent right now, exploring options, doing my thing, looking to go international this year. Got some cool things that are going to be announced, especially this Saturday, so you're not going to want to miss that. Even something about this title that might change this Saturday. So you want to check out Warrior this Saturday. But learning from a guy like Buddy Matthews is really cool because he's got the experience, he's done it all. He's wrestled at WrestleMania, he has won titles, he has wrestled everywhere in the world because of where he was at. But I do feel like to start my year off with Warrior against a guy like Buddy, I think is going to set the fire for the year for me.
It's crazy because Warrior has so many dream matches, like crazy huge matches. The idea that House of Black could show up and ambush you, I mean that seems like a viable possibility. I don't put that past Principal Steve.
Very true. You never know. I mean, I know Principal Steve isn't very happy I joined the FTC LLC, but hey, listen, man's got to do what a man's got to do. I'm a star. When you see stars like Floyd Mayweather, what does he have? Protection, always. Conor McGregor, protect — everybody's got protection. Even 6ix9ine, that snitch guy, he's even got protection. So if you're a star, you got to have protection. I joined Frank. Frank paid me. I'm world champ. What can I say?
I mean, Frank the Clown is a very, very talented individual. I don't think enough people give Frank his flowers now while they should and can.
Hundred percent. Frank's another one. Super creative. Dude's got a mind for this business that is super different that I don't think people give him the credit for because of the character he played on a show on the {WWE] Network, you know what I mean? Frank's a good person outside of the ring, but he is very smart and he knows how to get business done.
To put a button on the Buddy stuff. Now obviously, like I said, you're learning from him. You're getting more and more talented, more and more attention.
You've had these matches with Buddy, he's with AEW. Have you had any contact with Tony Khan? Has he talked to you, or has anybody from AEW talked to you about signing? Has that ever come up, or no?
Nothing I can comment on right now, but I mean, I have met Tony, times when I was at AEW during the Jacksonville era. I was there a couple times. I was there from January of 2021 to April, and then that's when things started opening up, and then I just started doing my own thing after that.
A Much-Rumored WWE Tryout
The other thing that I read recently is, I guess in December, were you down at the Performance Center doing some kind of tryout for WWE?
I don't know. I think they're all just rumors. I don't know what everybody's talking about.
Well, I had read that it was you, it was Kylie Rae, it was Dutch, it was Vincent. Does any of this ring a bell to you?
I don't know, man. I hit my head a lot, so I'm not too sure.
Okay. All right. So no comment on that. Because shortly after that, I will say, somebody who's going to be at Warrior Wrestling, Kylie Rae, got to do a TV match on WWE.
I did see that.
You did see that? Oh, that's fun.
Okay. What did you think about Kylie getting that opportunity and if she was a part of the... I mean, I don't know if she was at the tryout. Again, your head's real fuzzy.
But what do you think about Kylie here getting that kind of opportunity right now?
I think Kylie's a great person, phenomenal athlete. I think that's no secret. She is the heart and soul of Chicago wrestling, if you really think about it, especially for women's wrestling. I think it's time for Kylie to be at the big time now, and I think she's going to prove that come this Saturday. I feel like she had an awesome showing on the "Main Event" show, and I think she's going to do the same thing this Saturday.
Yeah, she's consistent, for sure. And so from your vantage though, what do you think... Because it's a really weird time with WWE right now. Everything's very in flux. What do you think WWE is looking for right now at the moment in new talent?
I think they're looking for the "it" factor, the one in the million. I've heard Triple H say that before in interviews that he's done. And I think they're just looking for stars. I think they're looking for new talent, young talent. And I can't really speak much on it because I don't work there. I'm not in Triple H's head. If Vince comes back, I'm not in Vince's head. So I don't know what they're truly looking for. But from what I've gathered from people and from interviews with Triple H, that's kind of what I've gotten.
Camera Guy Gimmick
Where do you want to wrestle internationally in 2023?
See me, I feel like at my young age, at 23, doing this for — it's going to be eight years in May. I started when I was 15, I feel like I've done almost everything I could in the U.S. I've faced the best in the world. I have won titles, world titles, I've wrestled all over the place, including Alaska. People don't give that credit, but I've done that too. And now I just think it's time to just branch out. I feel like the one thing I haven't done in wrestling is go international and face international stars. And I just want to go places that a lot of people don't go to. I know a lot of people do Japan, I know a lot of people do the U.K., Canada, Mexico. I'm kind of looking to go to countries that a lot of people don't go to, and I think I locked one down, and maybe I'll just announce that this Saturday.
Speaking of international talents, El Hijo del Vikingo, AAA Mega Champion, Warrior Lucha Champion, he's going to be putting those on the line at Warrior this weekend. He's only been in the States a very short time. You guys have not had a chance to cross paths yet, right?
No, I don't think I've ever met him directly and I've never shared the ring with him ever.
Is he somebody that's on your bucket list, maybe for 2023?
A hundred percent. That's one guy I've never worked. I would definitely love to work him. I hear great things about him. Everything I've ever seen from him is just amazing. And I feel like I learn so much being a younger talent. So yeah, a hundred percent. I'd do that any day of the week.
Outside of going international, is there anything else for 2023 that you've really got your mind set to?
I feel like the main one is really go international. The other ones are kind of personal things, but I feel like, if I'm going to just be, I guess cliché, I think I want to prove a lot of people wrong. I feel like that's just a big goal of mine every single year. I feel like every time I start to pop off or people get to know me, they always doubt me, especially because of my size.
I've read a lot of those rumors about this tryout that everybody keeps talking about. And I saw a lot of people saying negative things like, "Oh, he's only five foot," or whatever, and I'm not. I'm 5'7". Thank you. Appreciate it. And Rey Mysterio was like 5'3". I think people forget that. And just because Rey was the only one to do it, who's to say I'm not the next one to be able to do something like that, do something big for a smaller guy? Guys like Lio Rush inspired me. Lio Rush is the same height as me. If Lio can do it, why can't I? If Rich Swann can do it, why can't I? If Rey Mysterio can do it, why can't I? So I think it's just prove people wrong and conquer the world, and just wrestle everywhere, man, and bless the world, man.

A: Somehow I did figure it out what was the problem. I am a C#.net programmer where it does not matter you are adding reference to a library project or main project, but here you can't add a reference to a static library in an other static library, that was the reason for these errors. Thats my understanding may be someone could guide me in a better detail way.

Mariposa County school cancels classes Friday due to face mask issue
ByVanessa Vasconcelos
Woodland Elementary announced school is canceled Friday due to health and safety concerns.
MARIPOSA COUNTY, Calif. (KFSN) -- For the second time this week, classrooms sat empty at Woodland Elementary. Only this time, it wasn't weather conditions that led to the cancellation of classes.
Dozens of parents, students and residents gathered at Mariposa County Unified School District offices to give a voice to those wanting a choice.
"I'm not going to die on the hill of the mask, but I do think it's a nuisance and it distracts from the learning experience," says Keasha Blew.
"My son specifically said he's tired of wearing the mask, it's more of a distraction to him," says Robert Hill. "They're already separated far enough inside the classrooms."
Hill says for his student, masks are doing more harm than help.
But the district's decision to cancel classes at Woodland after several demonstrations during the week came as a surprise to Hill -- but calls it a learning opportunity for his son.
428 "This is a chance to educate my child on his freedom of speech and civil liberties," he said.
District leadership wouldn't comment on camera but superintendent Jeff Aranguena issued a statement that reads in part, "This week, our Leadership Team and Woodland Elementary staff, students, and parents were put in a situation where no good alternatives were available under the current K-12 mask mandate and Cal/OSHA mask requirements." For many of us, it was the single most difficult week in our educational careers."
Mariposa County sheriff's deputies were on hand to make sure the demonstrations stayed peaceful.
Sheriff Jeremy Briese's son goes to Woodland Elementary and asks people to keep their protest focused on the issue and not people.
"My message is to be respectful, to work through the problems and work together as a community," he said.
Classes are set to resume at Woodland Elementary on Monday, but the district has made it clear they will not be providing an alternative setting for students if they choose to protest mask mandates.
The superintendent says he is eagerly awaiting Governor Newsom's press conference on Monday to see if the state plans follow the CDC's new mask guidance.

I have never had the need to be represented until now. I had found out I was upside down in my Condo, I was being waffled back and forth by the bank while trying to short sale my home. I asked Jennifer to help me out with the Deed in Lieu of foreclosure, she gave me a quote. I hired her to make sure my best interest was protected, she went above and beyond. After she was also waffled back and forth by the banks, she represented me in my bankruptcy for the original price. She was there with me every step of the way. Jennifer is a great attorney, and she really cares about the outcome for her clients.
Attorney Linh Tran-Layton represented me in my recent divorce. She was readily available, responsive, professional and helpful. She was able to complete my divorce quickly and keep the cost down so that it wasn't as much of a financial burden as it could have been. I highly recommend her for anyone who is looking for a reasonably-priced, competent attorney.
I really loved working with this office and Christine. Everything completed in the Chapter 7 and the office was responsive when I had questions.


May is National Historic Preservation Month. Postcard US-2545672 to Russia shows a historic photo of Fremont Street looking west around 1930. The train depot is at the end of the street. There was an Elks lodge, an ice cream and sweets store, a Western Union, and a hardware store. Doctors, dentists, and lawyers had their offices on the second floor of many of the buildings.
The Union Plaza Hotel was built at the location of the train depot in the early seventies. It continued to have the Union Pacific Railway Station attached until Amtrak discontinued passenger train services into Las Vegas in the late nineties. The area where the train station was has since been converted into additional casino space as part of the Plaza Hotel and Casino.

Mike Tomkins, creator of the wildly successful viral video revision of Katy Perry's "Teenage Dream," appeared on Monday's episode of "The Today Show." Tomkins spent time coaching the cast and describing the underlying techniques to produce user-generated viral content utilizing today's technology. On the show, he described step-by-step on how to create a viral video of Taio Cruz's "Dynamite." Using the same techniques provided on the show, Tomkins created his viral video sensation, which has since been viewed by over 5 million users while his "Dynamite" cover has garnered over 3 million.
To see how successful his tips are, and see how they relate to recent user-generated viral sensations, let's take a look at the extremely popular original song "Chocolate Rain," created by Tay Zonday.
Mike Tomkins reiterates on "Today" that you need no formal singing lessons or even a wonderful voice. During the show, the anchors are shown creating their own production utilizing their voices, and using a green screen with various colors to create the simple yet entertaining video.
Tay Zonday's "Chocolate Rain" is a perfect example of this technique, using a harsh, deep, nearly Rod Stewart-type raspy voice and simple mannerisms that create a performance that's both off-the-cuff as well as amusing. Zonday has made it known he has never had formal training for singing, and this solidified Tomkins' comments that no matter your talent level, auto tuning, re-verb, and other simple additions provide all that is needed to create a viral sensation.
Now let's take a look at the "Chocolate Rain" video itself. Tay Zonday can again be seen using the same techniques Mike Tomkins uses in his viral videos. Zonday begins the song standing behind a microphone in front of a light-colored background, quite similar to the green screen the "Today Show" hosts used during their performance. Zonday adds a unique approach in that he uses a mannerism while spelling it out on the screen to tell you exactly what he's doing. This is quite similar to the goofy faces, movement, and transitions Tompkins uses in his videos and explains on the show.
Although different in nature, both videos use mannerisms to keep the viewers entertained, while being quirky enough to keep the viewer wondering what's going to come next. Whether you use a simple auto-tune, a capella, some re-verb, or chorus, the goal is to make an amusing ditty that keeps the viewers interest.
The success of these viral videos is enormous. Mike Tomkins receives national air time to explain his techniques, receives millions of visitors, and makes a living while doing it. Comparatively, Tay Zonday's video has been viewed nearly 60 million times on his YouTube channel, and he has made appearances on numerous late-night talk shows, radio stations, daytime television and more. He created an entire community of fanatics who have created ring tones, t-shirts, tributes and more.

The Digest: No. 10, October 2014
Longer-Term Consequences of the Financial Crisis
Analysis suggests that out of the 13 point output shortfall, the largest contributor was the depletion of the stock of plant and equipment, which accounted for 3.9 percentage points.
The financial crisis that began in 2008, and the ensuing Great Recession, cost the U.S. a substantial amount of output. In 2013, output was 13 percent below its trend path from 1990 through 2007. In Quantifying the Lasting Harm to the U.S. Economy from the Financial Crisis (NBER Working Paper No. 20183), Robert E. Hall starts from the widely accepted proposition that the financial crisis was the cause of the collapse in product and labor demand. He offers a complementary analysis of other aspects of the post-crisis economy, focusing on the durable effects of the crisis that a boost in product demand would not correct quickly. These effects are lost total factor productivity, lost investment resulting in a lower capital stock, and low labor-force participation lingering after job-creation incentives have returned to normal.
The analysis suggests that out of the 13 point output shortfall, the largest contributor was the depletion of the stock of plant and equipment, which accounted for 3.9 percentage points. The second largest was a shortfall of 3.5 percentage points in total factor productivity. The third was a shortfall of 2.4 percentage points in labor-force participation. Just 2.2 percentage points was the result of lingering slackness in the labor market in the form of abnormal unemployment and substandard weekly hours of work.
Hall observes that while the capital stock is responsible for the largest part of the output shortfall, it cannot respond immediately to a boost to product demand. He suggests that a boost in demand would probably trigger an accelerator response that would close some part of the shortfall in capital. In the longer run, the strong mean reversion in the historical capital/output ratio should work to close the entire gap.
Unemployment has fallen slowly during the recovery, reaching 1.3 percentage points above normal in 2013, and contributing 0.9 percentage points to the shortfall in output in that year. The return to normal has been slower than in previous post-recession episodes because the crisis shifted the composition of jobseekers toward those with low job-finding rates. People who lost jobs without hope of returning to the lost job are the most important group with long spells of unemployment. Mean reversion of unemployment is a well-established feature of the U.S. economy and there seems little reason to think that the crisis would affect the unemployment rate in any highly persistent way.
Labor-force participation fell substantially after the crisis, contributing 2.5 percentage points to the shortfall in output. The decline showed no sign of reverting as of 2013. The author believes that part of the participation decline is demographic and part reflects low job-finding rates, which had returned to close to normal in 2013. But an important part may be related to the large growth in beneficiaries of disability and food-stamp programs. Bulges in their enrollments appear to be persistent. Both programs place high taxes on earnings and so discourage labor-force participation among beneficiaries.

Beit Ummar, Bethlehem, Etzion DCL, Halhul-Hebron Bridge
Halhul-Hebron Bridge
Daniela G., Yael S. (reporting)
3:25 PM, Etzion DCL: the three cars at the DCL parking lot already suggested that the place was unusually quiet today. Two Palestinian men sitting in a car, waiting for someone, greeted us with a smile and announced that the waiting room was empty; and that three or four people were inside. Earlier, they told us, there were "many people" that had been waiting since 8AM. In order to get more concrete information and understand how come things could go so smoothly, we entered to speak to the soldier behind the glass, who was having a hard time hearing us (probably because he was so busy singing to himself - and to the world, having forgotten to turn off the speakers in the waiting room). Since he could not catch who we were from the other side of the turnstile, he ushered us in (!!) so we can all chat more easily. As surreal as this was, it did not, however, yield any useful results: once he understood who we were, the soldier refused to answer the simple question about whether the office was busy earlier that day, or whether it was quiet throughout. Since he could not get hold of his commander to get clearance (again: he sought clearance to reply to the question whether there were many or few people that day), we left without this information. On the other hand, we did get a brief glimpse of life on the Other Side.
We drove up to Beit Ummar and Chalchoul: all open, no soldiers or checkpoints in sight.
Bethlehem– Checkpoint 300: everything was quiet, and people could go through in no time.
Generally allows free flowing traffic, except for sudden checks by soldiers stationed permanently in the pillbox, on Route 35 in the southern West Bank.

Israel Won't Ever Be the Country of American Fantasies—Nor Should It Aspire to Be
Nov. 8 2022
Following last week's election, the veteran Middle East reporter Thomas Friedman authored a New York Times column under the headline "The Israel We Knew Is Gone," full of dire predictions about what will befall the Jewish state now that its citizens have returned its longest-serving prime minister to power. Daniel Gordis dissects the column's faulty assumptions and misguided conclusions, which distill misconceptions that plague much American commentary on Israel:
Here's the heart of the problem. There are many people around the world who want Israel to be something it does not wish to be. They want it to be successful, but humble. They want it to be strong and secure, but still desperate for foreign support of all sorts. They want it to be Jewish, but in a "nice" kind of way. Israeli dancing (which I haven't seen here in years), flags at the right time, a country filled with "Hatikvah moments," as some call them. A country traditional enough to be heartwarming, but not so traditional that it would dare imply that less intense forms of Jewish life cannot make it. A country steeped in memory, but also one that is finally willing to move on.
An Israel moderate in every way would be an Israel easy to love. It would be a source of pride, but not a source of shame. It would be an Israel that would make us feel great as Americans and as Jews. The only problem is that that Israel doesn't exist, and it never has.
And what of Friedman's more specific gripes?
Tom Friedman writes that "Netanyahu has been propelled into power by bedfellows who see Israeli Arab citizens as a fifth column who can't be trusted," intimating that Israeli Arabs are not a fifth column. Some are; some aren't. . . . I've interviewed many Arab women and men who are quite the opposite. But if you live in the Negev, if you have farmland you can't protect from Arabs in the south or the north, you're fearful. If you're a young Jewish Israeli woman afraid to walk in downtown Beer Sheva, you don't think a "fifth column" is a ludicrous claim. . . . Friedman can dismiss it, but Israelis increasingly don't. The left and center ignore the issue, and now, Israelis are ignoring them.

The Literary Museum of Kuban is located in the former house of the chief of Cossacks of the Black Sea: Iakov Kukharenko. It was built in the middle of the 19th century. It is considered that Ivan Kukharenko was the first writer and playwright of Kuban. The exhibition relates the literary life of Kuban as well as the history of the region since its colonization by the Russians in the 19th century.
