Anyone ever get the OEM window visors for their Z? It's says only for 2016 but im assuming it should fit all years right?
Yep, fits all model years, but I got the heko visors before I know they made OEM visors.
They will fit any year sheet metal( doors) did not change through all years of production.
I ordered and received from link I posted and I am in USA. Mine are not installed yet. I am collecting parts for The Speed Bumps restoration.
I checked and for $5.99 they would have shipped to my home address in Wisconsin, USA.
I'm still rocking my 'Bayson Motorsports' JDM window visors. I like them. They are out of channel, but I put them on with teh 3m tape + silicone. They have been through many -20F days, all the way up to over 100F. They are awesome in my opinion. For the price!
litz and 96firephoenix like this.
wise choice! oem ones work great. those clips and thin foam weatherstripping are good to 100+ mph. i've probably put 75-80K miles on the car since they went on. plenty of high pressure "no-hands" washes and automated brush washes to boot. they aren't going anywhere.

Q: Multithreading with sockets JAVA I have a problem with multithreading. I don't know why, but threads run in sequence.
There is a client-server application. I need to run several parallel threads for message exchange. The whole classes are too big, so I will show main parts.
Code of Client(This code runs every time when I push the button):
  public ArrayList<Action> call() {
        Thread myThready = new Thread(new Runnable()
        {
            public void run()
            {
                BufferedReader in;
                PrintWriter out;
                try{
                    Socket fromserver = new Socket(ip, PortID);
                    in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(fromserver.getInputStream()));
                    out = new PrintWriter(fromserver.getOutputStream(),true);

                    writeLog(query, ID, 0);
                    out.println(query+"ID"+ID);
                    String fserver = in.readLine();
                    writeLog(fserver, ID, 1);
                    out.println("exit");
                    out.close();
                    in.close();
                    fromserver.close();
                }
                catch (IOException io){
                    return;
                }
            }
        });
        myThready.start();
}

Code of Server:
public void run(){
    flag=true;
    System.out.println("Welcome to Server side!");

    createLog();
    ExecutorService service = Executors.newCachedThreadPool();
    ServerSocket servers = null;
    int n=4600;
    try{
    servers = new ServerSocket(n);
    } catch( Exception e){

    }
    Socket fromclient = null;

    while(true){
        try {
            System.out.print("Waiting for a client...");
            fromclient = servers.accept();
            System.out.println("Client connected.");
            Callable<ArrayList<Action>> callable = new HandleThread(fromclient);
            Future<ArrayList<Action>> future = service.submit(callable);

            list.addAll(future.get());
        } catch (Exception e) {
            System.out.println("Can't accept.");
            System.exit(-1);
        }
    }
}

This code does "accept()" and then creates new thread for some calculations.
Code of HandleThread:
public ArrayList<Action> call() {
    BufferedReader in = null;
    PrintWriter out= null;
    try {
        in  = new BufferedReader(new
                InputStreamReader(fromclient.getInputStream()));
        out = new PrintWriter(fromclient.getOutputStream(),true);
        String         input,output;

        System.out.println("Wait for messages.");

        while ((input = in.readLine()) != null) {
            //close filewriter thread if input==exit
            if(input.equalsIgnoreCase("exit")){
                break;
            }
            System.out.println(input);
            String[] arr = input.split("ID");
            System.out.println("+"+arr[0]);
            ID = Integer.parseInt(arr[1]);
            writeLog(arr[0], ID, 0);
            process(arr[0], ID);
            out.println(arr[0]);
            writeLog(arr[0], ID, 1);
        }
        out.close();
        in.close();
        fromclient.close();

    } catch(IOException e){
        return null;
    }
    return list;
}

I don't know why this doesn't work. I have logs and I see that one thread runs only after another one. Not at the same time!
Please, help me!

A: Future#get() is a blocking call.
list.addAll(future.get());

The calling thread will wait until the task is done. As such, your server thread which calls accept() waits for each task to finish before it gets to the next one.

Record rain swamps South Florida in waist-deep water
FBI says South Florida bank robberies rise, may surpass previous two years
Linda Trischitta, Sun Sentinel
Bank robberies are happening more often in South Florida and, if the trend continues, stick-up statistics here could surpass the number of incidents during each of the previous two years.
The FBI in Miami says there were 49 bank robberies from last Oct. 1 through March 30 in the nine counties for which it is responsible. The area runs from Key West to Fort Pierce.
The government says the trend could mean 100 incidents by Sept. 30, the end of its 2012 fiscal year. That would represent a 33 percent spike from 2011's 75 cases.
Why are there about two bank robberies in South Florida each week?
"There are several factors, but it's mostly the economy," FBI Supervisory Special Agent David Beall said Tuesday. "More people are out of their homes, out of their jobs. In these depressed states, you'll see an increase in drug use and gambling, and an increase in any type of crime that will give quick money. And that includes bank robberies."
There is some good news.
Beall said robbers are committing more "one-on-one" robberies, where a lone suspect will approach a teller, demand money and make or imply a threat with a weapon.
"Typically, it's a person acting alone or with one other," Beall said. "They're not there to take over the bank or cause violence. They want to get in and get out."
Previously, he said, "It would be multiple robbers, with guns shot or displaying large weapons or intimidating employees by hitting them or putting patrons on the ground and causing mass fear inside the bank."
Though the current crop of robbers may be taking a less violent approach, "they're desperate," Beall said of those who may have lost everything because of personal misfortune.
The FBI encourages bank employees and patrons to not try to stop robberies.
"If you're inside a bank or at any kind of robbery, be a good witness, keep your eyes and ears open, but never be involved," Beall said. "We've had incidents where people try and get involved, and it has resulted in bad things."
The FBI says the South Florida Violent Crime/Fugitive Task Force has solved about half of the bank robberies that have happened in the past six months. There were 87 bank robberies during in the agency's 2010 fiscal year, and 75 in 2011.
An independent website, bandittracker.com, has mugshots, maps and details from unsolved robberies around the country.
"In most cases, tips from the public help us identify the robbers and bring them to justice," said Beall, who leads the task force. Its members include the Broward Sheriff's Office and the Miami-Dade, Miramar, Fort Lauderdale, Miami Beach, Miami and Hialeah police departments.
Because of circumstances or violence, the FBI is especially interested in solving three South Florida robberies and is asking the public for help:
Pembroke Pines, March 29, 2012: A Wells Fargo bank was robbed by someone who reached over a counter and displayed a handgun, the FBI says; a Pembroke Pines police officer who was responding to the robbery was hurt in a crash. A motorcycle-driving suspect escaped south on I-75 but lost cash from his backpack. Drivers pulled over to grab greenbacks from along the highway.
Delray Beach, April 17, 2012: A TD Bank was robbed by two men who displayed weapons and demanded money from an employee while customers were inside, the FBI says. No one was injured.
Dania Beach, August 22, 2009: A Brinks armored truck was robbed and an employee was shot, but survived.
Bank robbers don't just risk getting shot or harming innocent people. If caught and convicted, they can spend up to 25 years in prison. The FBI asks anyone with information about unsolved bank or armored truck robberies to call 305-944-9101.

OECS Yachting Committee
Date: 8th March, 2013
Representatives from the Caribbean Marine Association (CMA) were invited to attend a meeting of the Yachting Committee of the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS) held on the island of Tortola in the British Virgin Islands on 27th and 28th February.
Representing the CMA were President John Duffy (Antigua & Barbuda), Vice-president Bob Hathaway (St. Lucia) and Director Anita Sutton (Grenada). Private sector and Government representatives also attended from Anguilla, Antigua & Barbuda, Dominica, Grenada, Montserrat, St. Kitts & Nevis, St. Lucia, St. Vincent & the Grenadines and, of course, the hosts, the British Virgin Islands.
The purpose of the meeting was to explore ways of unlocking the economic benefits of yachting to the region and to jointly market the sector whilst remaining aware of the environment which is the major source of income to most OECS countries. The meeting was conducted Mr Rodinald Soomer and Dr. Lorraine Nicholas from the OECS Secretariat with presentations from various parties including the CMA.
High amongst the objectives was the easing of movement between the various Caribbean islands and the the Caribbean Customs Law Enforcement Council (CCLEC) in co-operation with the OECS and with the support of the CMA is working towards the introduction of an almost seamless on-line process which will come on stream during 2013. CCLEC and the OECS will be releasing more information on this in the near future and the CMA has been tasked, at the appropriate time, to get the word out to the international yachting community.
The CMA was also tasked with investigating the reasons behind the penal rates of yacht insurance prevalent in the Caribbean which seem to be unrelated to risk when compared with the east coast of the USA. It was considered by the meeting that these rates are having a deleterious affect on the summer season in the Caribbean.
Although the CMA extends beyond the limits of the OECS to include countries such as The Bahamas, St. Martin and Trinidad & Tobago, it was noted that there were some gaps within the OECS where countries have limited or embryonic yachting industries. It was felt essential that all OECS member countries should have marine associations of their own and become members of the CMA. To that end, the CMA was further tasked to assist Anguilla, Montserrat and St. Kitts & Nevis to form their own marine associations and to encourage the relatively new marine association in Dominica to become part of the CMA. In return, the CMA requested that the OECS create liaisons with other yachting countries in the eastern Caribbean including Barbados and Trinidad & Tobago plus the French islands of Guadeloupe, Martinique, St. Barts and St. Maarten.
Before the final session, the delegates were taken on a tour of the main marine areas of Tortola, one of the most popular yachting destinations in the Caribbean.
The slogan 'Many Islands, One Sea' was deemed particularly appropriate to the motives behind the conference which was held to have been a success by all those who attended.

New Zealand is a small country of four million inhabitants, a long-haul flight from all the major tourist-generating markets of the world. Tourism currently makes up 9% of the country's gross domestic product, and is the country's largest export sector. Unlike other export sectors, which make products and then sell them overseas, tourism brings its customers to New Zealand. The product is the country itself - the people, the places and the experiences. In 1999, Tourism New Zealand launched a campaign to communicate a new brand position to the world. The campaign focused on New Zealand's scenic beauty, exhilarating outdoor activities and authentic Maori culture, and it made New Zealand one of the strongest national brands in the world.
A key feature of the campaign was the website www.newzealand.com, which provided potential visitors to New Zealand with a single gateway to everything the destination had to offer. The heart of the website was a database of tourism services operators, both those based in New Zealand and those based abroad which offered tourism services to the country. Any tourism-related business could be listed by filling in a simple form. This meant that even the smallest bed and breakfast address or specialist activity provider could gain a web presence with access to an audience of long-haul visitors. In addition, because participating businesses were able to update the details they gave on a regular basis, the information provided remained accurate. And to maintain and improve standards, Tourism New Zealand organised a scheme whereby organisations appearing on the website underwent an independent evaluation against a set of agreed national standards of quality. As part of this, the effect of each business on the environment was considered.
To communicate the New Zealand experience, the site also carried features relating to famous people and places. One of the most popular was an interview with former New Zealand All Blacks rugby captain Tana Umaga. Another feature that attracted a lot of attention was an interactive journey through a number of the locations chosen for blockbuster films which had made use of New Zealand's stunning scenery as a backdrop. As the site developed, additional features were added to help independent travellers devise their own customised itineraries. To make it easier to plan motoring holidays, the site catalogued the most popular driving routes in the country, highlighting different routes according to the season and indicating distances and times.
Later, a Travel Planner feature was added, which allowed visitors to click and 'bookmark' places or attractions they were interested in, and then view the results on a map. The Travel Planner offered suggested routes and public transport options between the chosen locations. There were also links to accommodation in the area. By registering with the website, users could save their Travel Plan and return to it later, or print it out to take on the visit. The website also had a 'Your Words' section where anyone could submit a blog of their New Zealand travels for possible inclusion on the website.
The Tourism New Zealand website won two Webby awards for online achievement and innovation. More importantly perhaps, the growth of tourism to New Zealand was impressive. Overall tourism expenditure increased by an average of 6.9% per year between 1999 and 2004. From Britain, visits to New Zealand grew at an average annual rate of 13% between 2002 and 2006, compared to a rate of 4% overall for British visits abroad.
The website was set up to allow both individuals and travel organisations to create itineraries and travel packages to suit their own needs and interests. On the website, visitors can search for activities not solely by geographical location, but also by the particular nature of the activity. This is important as research shows that activities are the key driver of visitor satisfaction, contributing 74% to visitor satisfaction, while transport and accommodation account for the remaining 26%. The more activities that visitors undertake, the more satisfied they will be. It has also been found that visitors enjoy cultural activities most when they are interactive, such as visiting a marae (meeting ground) to learn about traditional Maori life. Many long-haul travellers enjoy such learning experiences, which provide them with stories to take home to their friends and family. In addition, it appears that visitors to New Zealand don't want to be 'one of the crowd' and find activities that involve only a few people more special and meaningful.
It could be argued that New Zealand is not a typical destination. New Zealand is a small country with a visitor economy composed mainly of small businesses. It is generally perceived as a safe English-speaking country with a reliable transport infrastructure. Because of the long-haul flight, most visitors stay for longer (average 20 days) and want to see as much of the country as possible on what is often seen as a once-in-a-lifetime visit. However, the underlying lessons apply anywhere - the effectiveness of a strong brand, a strategy based on unique experiences and a comprehensive and user-friendly website.
To some extent, we are all familiar with computerised art. The question is: where does the work of the artist stop and the creativity of the computer begin? Consider one of the oldest machine artists, Aaron, a robot that has had paintings exhibited in London's Tate Modern and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. Aaron can pick up a paintbrush and paint on canvas on its own. Impressive perhaps, but it is still little more than a tool to realise the programmer's own creative ideas.
Simon Colton, the designer of the Painting Fool, is keen to make sure his creation doesn't attract the same criticism. Unlike earlier 'artists' such as Aaron, the Painting Fool only needs minimal direction and can come up with its own concepts by going online for material. The software runs its own web searches and trawls through social media sites. It is now beginning to display a kind of imagination too, creating pictures from scratch. One of its original works is a series of fuzzy landscapes, depicting trees and sky. While some might say they have a mechanical look, Colton argues that such reactions arise from people's double standards towards software-produced and human-produced art. After all, he says, consider that the Painting Fool painted the landscapes without referring to a photo. 'If a child painted a new scene from its head, you'd say it has a certain level of imagination,' he points out. The same should be true of a machine.' Software bugs can also lead to unexpected results. Some of the Painting Fool's paintings of a chair came out in black and white, thanks to a technical glitch. This gives the work an eerie, ghostlike quality. Human artists like the renowned Ellsworth Kelly are lauded for limiting their colour palette - so why should computers be any different?
Researchers like Colton don't believe it is right to measure machine creativity directly to that of humans who 'have had millennia to develop our skills'. Others, though, are fascinated by the prospect that a computer might create something as original and subtle as our best artists. So far, only one has come close. Composer David Cope invented a program called Experiments in Musical Intelligence, or EMI. Not only did EMI create compositions in Cope's style, but also that of the most revered classical composers, including Bach, Chopin and Mozart. Audiences were moved to tears, and EMI even fooled classical music experts into thinking they were hearing genuine Bach. Not everyone was impressed however. Some, such as Wiggins, have blasted Cope's work as pseudoscience, and condemned him for his deliberately vague explanation of how the software worked. Meanwhile, Douglas Hofstadter of Indiana University said EMI created replicas which still rely completely on the original artist's creative impulses. When audiences found out the truth they were often outraged with Cope, and one music lover even tried to punch him. Amid such controversy, Cope destroyed EMI's vital databases.
But why did so many people love the music, yet recoil when they discovered how it was composed? A study by computer scientist David Moffat of Glasgow Caledonian University provides a clue. He asked both expert musicians and non-experts to assess six compositions. The participants weren't told beforehand whether the tunes were composed by humans or computers, but were asked to guess, and then rate how much they liked each one. People who thought the composer was a computer tended to dislike the piece more than those who believed it was human. This was true even among the experts, who might have been expected to be more objective in their analyses.
Where does this prejudice come from? Paul Bloom of Yale University has a suggestion: he reckons part of the pleasure we get from art stems from the creative process behind the work. This can give it an 'irresistible essence', says Bloom. Meanwhile, experiments by Justin Kruger of New York University have shown that people's enjoyment of an artwork increases if they think more time and effort was needed to create it. Similarly, Colton thinks that when people experience art, they wonder what the artist might have been thinking or what the artist is trying to tell them. It seems obvious, therefore, that with computers producing art, this speculation is cut short - there's nothing to explore. But as technology becomes increasingly complex, finding those greater depths in computer art could become possible. This is precisely why Colton asks the Painting Fool to tap into online social networks for its inspiration: hopefully this way it will choose themes that will already be meaningful to us.

Corruption undermines democracy and contributes to instability, warns senior UN anti-crime official
admin-una
Corruption undermines democratic institutions, slows economic development and contributes to governmental instability, Mirella Dummar-Frahi, Civil Society Team Leader at the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) warned at the UN Civil Society Conference in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Ms. Dummar-Frahi called for greater cooperation, joint operations and mutual legal assistance among Governments, with involvement from civil society, the private sector, and international organizations.
In an interview with UN News on Tuesday, the senior United Nations official pointed out that tackling corruption plays an important role in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, the Organization's blueprint for a sustainable future that leaves no one behind.
"The fight against corruption is deeply rooted in Sustainable Development Goal 16, which aims to provide access to justice for all, and build effective, accountable and inclusive institutions at all levels," she explained.
"One of the targets within this Goal, Target 6.15, is to 'substantially reduce corruption and bribery in all its forms', and the UN Office on Drugs and Crime is the guardian of the only legally binding universal anti-corruption instrument: the UN Convention Against Corruption (UNCAC). The vast majority of UN Member States are parties to the Convention".
Success in achieving this target is measured by the reduction, on an annual basis, in the proportion of businesses, and people, who paid, or were asked to pay, a bribe to a public official.
"The Convention's far-reaching approach makes it a unique tool for developing a comprehensive response to the global problem of corruption", said Ms, Dummar-Frahi. "The countries that are a party to it have made great progress, and have improved their anti-corruption regulations and legislation".
This process has brought the fight against corruption to a higher level, she explained, helping to harmonize legislation and international cooperation, and a peer-review process, adopted in 2009, has created momentum, advancing and evaluating the implementation of the Convention into domestic law.
Civil society engagement an integral factor in tackling corruption
Since 2011, teams from UNODC have been training civil society organizations to work with national authorities and helping them to take part in anti-corruption events, outreach, and other activities.
Civil society, individuals and the private sector need to be encouraged to actively participate in preventing corruption, and raising awareness of its existence, as well as the causes and gravity of the threat it poses, urged Ms. Dummar-Frahi.
"There are three main areas where civil society and other non-State partners can work towards ending corruption: advocacy, monitoring and building expertise," she said.
"In the course of conducting advocacy, civil society organizations can gain insights and gather information for further monitoring initiatives, which can ensure that standards or obligations have been fulfilled. They can identify gaps, and provide evidence for advocacy at the local, national and international levels".
"The more expertise they gain, the better assistance they can give to governments in effective implementation of the Convention Against Corruption and other anti-corruption legislation".

Roma Star Could Make International Debut Against Nigeria
With the shortage of attacking talents for the Black Stars, the Roma lad could finally answer Ghana's calls as he's on his way to make a first senior appearance for Ghana
Roma attacker Felix Afena-Gyan could be part of the Ghanaian squad that would trade tackles with Nigeria in the crucial Qatar 2022 qualifiers later in March.
The Black Stars lock horns with the Super Eagles in a doubleheader scheduled for the 25th and 29th of March. However, while Super Eagles boss Augustine Eguavoen has released his squad list for the West-African derby, Ghanaian coach Otto Addo has submitted his list to the Ghana Football Association. Still, they have opted to keep it close to their chests.
Nonetheless, with the shortage of Ghanaian attacking talents, some players are expected to be part of the team. According to top Ghanaian journalist Thierry Nyann, Roma star Afena-Gyan, and Bristol City attacker Antoine Semenyo have received call ups to the Ghanaian team.
Afena-Gyan just broke into the scene this season, and is yet to establish his brilliance. The 19-year-old has two goals in 16 appearances this season, while Semenyo has six goals and eight assists in 25 appearances this season.

New Method To Find Extrasolar Planets
By Will Parker on December 2, 2005 in News
The latest issue of the journal Optical Letters carries an intriguing article about a new optical device that might allow astronomers to view extrasolar planets directly, without the distracting and concealing glare of the parent star. This would be accomplished by "nulling" out the light of the parent star by exploiting its wave nature, while leaving the light reflected from the nearby planet unchanged. The device, being developed by scientists from the University of Arizona (UA), is called an optical vortex coronagraph.
The current method for detecting extrasolar planets relies on detecting a tiny "wobble" in a star's spectrum of light that indicates gravitational perturbations, possibly created by a planet orbiting the star. This method has been used to identify more than 100 possible extrasolar planets over the last decade.
For astronomers, this sort of indirect observation is less than perfect, as ideally they would like to view the planet directly. But this is difficult, as light from the star typically "drowns out" any kind of view of the planet. Direct observation has been compared to trying to discern, from a hundred meters away, the light of a match held up next to the glare of an automobile's headlight.
But that may be about to change. The approach taken by UA optical scientist Grover Swartzlander and his colleagues is to eliminate the star's light by sending it through a special helical-shaped mask, a sort of lens whose geometry resembles that of a spiral staircase turned on its side. Light passing through the thicker central part of the mask is slowed down and because of the graduated shape of the glass, an "optical vortex" is created. The light coming along the axis of the mask is, in effect, spun out of the image, in effect nulling it out. The researchers say it is as if an opaque mask had been placed across the image of the star, but one that leaves the light from the nearby planet unaffected.
Concepts for an optical vortex have been bandied about for some time, but it has never been applied to astronomy before. In lab trials of the optical vortex mask, light from mock stars has been reduced by factors of 100 to 1000, while light from a nearby mock "planet" was unaffected.
The optical vortex is a more practical technique than merely attempting to cover over the star's image, as is done in coronagraphs which simply mask out the disk of the sun. The vortex could fully come into its own on a project like the Terrestrial Planet Finder, a proposed orbiting telescope designed to image extrasolar planets.

Winners of the 2018 WBJ 40 Under Forty award (from left): Alexis Kelleher, Erin Jansky, Bonnie J. Walker and Tom Lubelczyk.
Jansky lives to volunteer, so it's no surprise she is most well known for her accomplishments at places like the Young Professional Women's Association, Friendly House, Veterans, Inc. and the Worcester Animal Rescue League. Yet, in her day job at WHA, Jansky has transitioned the agency to a paperless payroll system, implemented an employee portal for staff and created new training and employee engagement programs. She will send staff hand-written cards for their birthdays. In her two-year stint on the YPWA board – including the last year as president – membership increased 50 percent. In the three years she served as chairwoman of WARL's Wagtime committee, fundraising increased 140 percent to $55,000 annually. At Friendly House, Jansky runs the wish-list donation every holiday season to provide gifts totalling more than $10,000 to 17 families, and she negotiated the donation of a $6,000 designer closet for the nonprofit's Elm Street shelter. Jansky is a member-at-large of the Leicester Economic Development Committee, focusing on development amid historic preservation.
From 40 Under Forty judge Michael Arnum: "As Worcester's indefatigable voice for the homeless, Erin has personified a contagious compassion for her cause."

Ultra-wideband (UWB) microwave radar imaging techniques provide a non-invasive means to extract information related to an object's internal structure. For these applications, a short-duration electromagnetic wave is transmitted into an object of interest and the backscattered fields that arise due to dielectric contrasts at interfaces are measured. In this paper, we present a method that may be used to estimate the time-of-arrival (TOA) parameter associated with each reflection that arises due to a dielectric property discontinuity (or dielectric interface). A second method uses this information to identify the locations of points on these interfaces. When data are collected at a number of sensor locations surrounding the object, the collection of points may be used to estimate the shape of contours that segregate and enclose dissimilar regions within the object. The algorithm is tested with data generated when a cylindrical wave is applied to a number of numerical 2D models of increasing complexity. Moreover, the algorithm's feasibility is evaluated using data generated from breast models constructed from magnetic resonance (MR) breast scans.

The Coconino is our full-size, standard-seatpost seat bag, absolutely unique in design and function. Tired of seat bag sway but not looking for an easily-damaged rack-style stabilizer system? The Coconino is for you.
Born on a rough singletrack tour, the Coconino is our full-size seat bag for standard, non-dropper posts. Utilizing our original, long-proven RailWing technology, the Coconino doesn't sway, sag, or move on even the roughest trails. Unlike systems that rely on fragile rack-style stabilizers, the Coconino easily survives crashes intact. And unlike systems that rely on straps threaded through the saddle rails to attach the bag, the RailWing also allows the Coconino to install and detach very quickly at camp.
The Coconino is truly a very different and improved take on the bikepacking seat bag. Ride as hard as you want – the Coconino will be there, rock solid, no matter what!
If you're looking for a seat bag for dropper post use, check out our ground-breaking Black Dragon.
Weight: 419 grams / 14.8oz. Capacity: 7-12 liters, depending on how far you roll it up. Made in Colorado, USA.
The Coconino requires 5" of exposed seatpost and a minimum of 7.25" from the saddle rails to the nearest point on the rear tire. Remember, if you have a full-suspension, the rear wheel moves - check clearances with the rear shock fully compressed!
The RailWing works on almost every saddle out there - essentially anything with "standard"-shaped rails. It does not fit: Brooks and Selle Anatomica leather saddles (it does work on the Brooks Cambium and the new Selle Anatomica X2), Fizik Kurve saddles. Carbon rails are NOT a good idea (this is true with any seat bag design).
The Coconino is not compatible with dropper seatposts. If you have a dropper post, try our groundbreaking Black Dragon instead!
1) Mount the RailWing, without its strap, to the back (slanted) portion of your saddle rails. Make sure bolts are snug, but don't go nuts.
2) Slide the RailWing strap through the rails and velcro to the top of the RailWing.
3) Pack your Coconino (see below) and roll the closure down tightly. Clip the roll into the compression straps near the nose of the bag and cinch down.
4) Push the loaded and closed Coconino into the RailWing, keeping the bag centered, and keeping the nose cone and seatpost strap aligned with the seatpost. Clip the RailWing straps into the female buckles on the main bag; secure the seatpost strap tightly. Cinch the RailWing straps tightly, and go ride. When freshly packed, you may need to retighten all straps after a bit, as the contents compress.
Like most bikepacking bags, the Coconino depends somewhat upon its contents for shape and stability. Stuffable items work best - clothing, tents, bivys, sleeping bags, etc. You can wrap other items in soft goods to mute edges and increase packability. Load heaviest items into the nose, near the seatpost; make sure to fill out the nose cone and top of the bag with gear. Stuff items tightly and don't be afraid to use those compression straps - they are there for cinching things down!
Many of our products are named after geologic layers. "co-co-NEE-no" - a sandstone formation consisting of ancient sand dunes. Bike-toting hikers descend through Coconino cliffs in the Grand Canyon during the Arizona Trail Race.


The warm air in your house rises naturally. As this warm air escapes into the attic and out of the house, matching outside air gets sucked in through leaks in lower levels. This combination of conditioned air leaving your home & unconditioned air infiltrating your home is called the Stack Effect. The Stack Effect is one of the major factors that contribute to your homes energy loss and high utility bills.
Air sealing your home is one of the most economical ways to lower your energy use and reduce your heating & cooling bills. The overall goal is to reduce the amount of air that leaks in and out of your home. A home energy assessment or energy audit can easily detect & prioritize your homes' specific areas of concern. Air leakage occurs when outside air enters and conditioned air leaves your home uncontrollably through cracks or openings. A properly air sealed home will experience lower energy use and a more comfortable living area.
Some areas of air infiltration are easy to discover and fix. While other areas of the home are almost impossible to detect without the proper equipment. Spaces around doors and windows for instance can be easily caulked or weatherized to stop air leakage but rim joists, knee walls, sill plates and chimney shafts will need to be addressed by experienced professionals.
Once you detect and prioritize your home's air sealing needs you can begin air sealing your home yourself or hire a BPI certified insulation contractor to do the work for you. To get started just contact us for a free in home assessment. Our highly trained staff of insulation professionals will work with you to make your home more comfortable and more energy efficient.

The organisation of forced labour in Italy (1943-1945)
The double deportation
Internees
Terms Used
Territorio del III Reich // Blechhammer
The name Blechhammer is often used to refer to an industrial complex which included associated work camps built in the vicinity of the present-day Polish settlement of Kedzierzyn-Kozle during the Nazi occupation.
According to German plans, Blechhammer was to become an important chemical manufacturing plant, specialising in the production of synthetic fuel for the Wehrmacht.
The most important company operating at Blechhammer - the location having been specifically chosen for its nearness to the coal deposits of Upper Silesia – was the highly influential I.G. Farben.
The factories were to be built on two sites: Blechhammer North and Blechhammer South, the latter often referred to as Heydebreck.
The labour force used in their construction was made up of a number of foreign workers1 and a larger group of prisoners of war (British, Russian, French), forced labour (Poles, Ukrainians), prisoners who were to be re-educated through carrying out this work, and Jewish internees.
A series of drawings done by a Jewish internee who signed them with the name Bill, acquired by British Prisoner of War who obtained them in exchange for a few cigarettes, vividly bears witness to the presence in Blechhammer of a wide variety of prisoners, each of whom is portrayed in a profoundly different way from the others, yet all whom were being exploited to the same end.
In the above drawing, under the sign displaying the words Blechhammer Station, the following prisoners are depicted from behind (left to right): a British prisoner of war, a Russian prisoner of war, a French prisoner of war, a Jewish prisoner, a prisoner in a striped uniform and a prisoner on whose jacket the letters AEL can be seen. The initials AEL stand for Arbeitserziehungslager, meaning a camp for the re-education of the workforce.
According to a British report2 drawn up from evidence gathered from several aerial photographs, at Blechhammer South there were at least two large work camps: the first was located in the south east corner of the site and was made up of 137 huts, the second lay towards the north-west and was made up of a further 106 wooden huts.
A similar situation had been photographed at Blechhammer North. On the basis of these calculations the report put forward the hypothesis that around 10 thousand people could have been present.
According to some sources at least 40 thousand forced labourers passed through Blechhammer, among whom there were about 5 thousand Jews confined in a camp set aside specifically for them, and about 4 thousand British prisoners of war, some of whom had been transferred to Blechhammer during the summer of 1943 from the prisoner of war camps at Fossoli, Laterina and Sforzacosta.
On 22 January 1945 a man named Giovanni Castoldi3 died in one of the Blechhammer camps. Born in Cologno Monzese in 1914, Castoldi worked at Sesto San Giovanni in the Concordia factory belonging to the Falck company. Arrested following the strikes of March 1944, he had been deported in early April from the San Vittore prison in Milan to the concentration camp at Mauthausen. From there, on 2 December 1944, together with other workers deported from Sesto San Giovanni, Castoldi was transferred to Auschwitz. The date of Castoldi's arrival at Blechhammer is unknown: his death took place on the very day in which the Germans, faced with the advancing Russian Army, decided to abandon the chemical production complex.
From 21 January 1945 onwards, in fact, all those prisoners still present were evacuated and forced to march for weeks towards other camps lying further to the west.
It has been calculated that during these forced marches about 800 Jews may have died. There were also some deaths among the British prisoners of war.

Laura Danese, Maria Paola Del Rossi, Edmondo Montali, La deportazione operaia nella Germania nazista. Il caso di Sesto San Giovanni, Ediesse, 2005
Some Italian companies were involved in building the factories at Blechhammer and Heydebreck, and also the I.G Farben factory at Auschwitz, as a result of a contract signed in 1942 by the Fascist Confederation of Industrialists.
AEL Arbeitserziehungslager
The workers' re-education camps (AEL) were set up in 1940 by the Gestapo in order to re-educate individuals accused of acts of industrial sabotage or who, for some reason, were held to be "reluctant" to work. In effect, these camps were also a means of exploiting forced labour. It has been estimated that in Germany and the German-occupied territories around 200 Arbeitserziehungslager had been set up in which around 500,000 people had been imprisoned.
Bau-und Arbeits Battallion B.A.B.
During the Second World War the Germans established prisoner of war units known as Bau-und Arbeits Battaillon (shortened to B.A.B.). The B.A.B. were made up on average of 600 prisoners of war who were used as forced labour. The distinguishing feature of these forced labour units was that they were mobile; unlike the prisoners who were being held in the Stalag, these workers were not stationed in a specific location but were moved around according to necessity.
I.G. Farben
The I.G. Farben Company was founded in 1925 from the merger of several different German industries. During the Second World War it was the main producer of chemicals for Nazi Germany. I.G. Farben made more use of forced labour than any other industry, particularly during the construction of the plants at Auschwitz. The directors of I.G. Farben were among the accused at the Nuremberg Trials of 1947/48. At the end of the war the decision was taken to split up the industry into its original component parts.
Kriegsgefangenen Arbeitskommando
The Arbeitskommando were work camps detachments for prisoners who had been captured by the Germans. Usually made up of a few hundred prisoners, they were set up near to places of employment (factories, mines, agricultural establishments etc.). They were run from a central Stalag (prisoner of war camp), which may have been responsible for hundreds of work detachments. The work detachments for Allied prisoners of war were visited on a regular basis by representatives of the Red Cross.
Ispettorato Militare del Lavoro (Military Work Inspectorate)
The Military Work Inspectorate was set up in October 1943 with the aim of organising a workforce which was to construct territorial defences for the Italian Republic of Salò and repair the damage caused by air raids. Known as the "Organizzazione Paladino" (Paladino Organisation) after its founder and commanding officer, and operating in strict collaboration with, and at times directly employed by, the Germans, it took on several tens of thousands of workers.
Todt Organisation
The Todt Organisation was begun in Germany at the end of the 'Thirties with the aim of setting up a workforce which would build military defences. The idea of Fritz Todd, who was also its director until his death in 1942, during the war it exploited forced labour in German-occupied countries. In Italy it played a fundamental role in the construction of defences along the Appenines in support of the Wehrmacht, employing tens of thousands of men.
Paladino Francesco
Born in Scilla (Reggio Calabria) in 1890, he volunteered for the Corps of Engineers as a telegraphist in 1907. In 1908 he rose to the rank of sergeant, a rank he held throughout the War in Libya. In 1914 he was promoted to the rank of second lieutenant and during the First World War he was made captain.
Afterwards he remained in the Armed Forces and in 1932 he was promoted to the rank of lieutenant colonel. In 1936 he took part in the War in Ethiopia, during which he was promoted to the rank of colonel.
In the Second World War, he returned to Italy after participating in the Greek campaign and was assigned to the Bolzano Corps. In 1942 he was promoted to brigader general. After the armistice he joined the Italian Social Republic for which he created the Military Labour Inspectorate.
He finally retired in 1945 and in 1970 he was awarded the honorary grade of major general.
He died in 1974.
Sauckel Fritz
Fritz Sauckel, born in 1894, was a local Nazi party official. In 1942 he was nominated plenipotentiary for the organisation of work throughout all the German-occupied territories. In practice, he was responsible for the compulsory engagement of forced labour. In Italy his organisation tried to round up hundreds of thousands of men to send to the German Reich, with scarce results. He was tried at Nuremberg and condemned to death, the sentence being carried out in 1946.
Albert Speer, born in 1905, was an architect who enjoyed an excellent personal relationship with Adolf Hitler. Even though he was not an ardent Nazi, he was the brains behind the staging of the Party parades, thereby assuring for himself the esteem and trust of the dictator. In 1942, after the death of Fritz Todt, he was put in charge of the Ministry of Arms and Munitions, which oversaw the Todt organisation. He was tried at Nuremberg and condemned to twenty years imprisonment. He died in London in 1981.
Stalag
A German prisoner of war camp. The living conditions in the Stalag varied considerably according to the nationality of the prisoners (Allied, Russian, Italian military internees, etc.)
Todt Fritz
Fritz Todt was a German engineer who was responsible, in the 'Thirties, for building the motorway system as desired by Hitler. At the end of the 'Thirties he set up the Todt Organisation, with the aim of supplying forced labour to be used in the building of defences along the French border. During the war his organisation oversaw the use of forced labour in the occupied territories. He died in a plane crash in 1942.
Gemeinschaftslager
The Gemeinschaftslager, like the Wohnlager, were unsupervised camps for foreign workers, while the Arbeitslager were supervised. Generally speaking, the concept of forced labour is applied only to the latter, but at the present time historians are undoubtedly tending to review the concept of forced labour, extending it to include work situations which are apparently free but in reality are forced. More specifically, the current discussion tends to be orientated towards a concept of forced labour which includes these three distinctive elements:
- from a legal point of view, it is impossible for the worker to dissolve the relationship with his employer
- from the social point of view, the possibilities of significantly influencing employment conditions are limited
- there is a high mortality rate, which indicates a higher than average workload and a provision of means of sustenance below the necessary requirements.

Q: AS3 Dynamically change image of object How does one change image of already created object
Let's say I have an empty class named Icon and on runtime I want to change its image to something and add it on stage. The image can be from the library as another object or just a bitmap.
var icon1 = new Icon(myIcon);
...

public class Icon extends MovieClip {
public function Icon(icon:Class) {
    //change image
    addChild(this);
}

EDIT: in java I used to do it like this:
new Icon(myIcon);
...

public class Icon {

public Image image;
public String icon;

public Icon(String icon) {

        ImageIcon ii = new ImageIcon(this.getClass().getResource(icon + ".png"));
        image = ii.getImage();
        this.icon = icon;
    }

and on paint method I just type icon1.image to show on screen and also can change image if needed by accessing this variable.
Is this possible to do it something like this on as3?

A:
Let's say I have an empty class named Icon and on runtime I want to
  change its image to something

Before code make sure you prepared by following these example steps...
1) Open the Library (ctrl+L) and right click to choose "create new symbol" of MovieClip type and give it the name Icon then look at the Advanced tab further below...
2) Tick the box called "Export For ActionScript" and that should auto-fill a box called Class with text saying Icon. Click OK and you are ready.
3) Add one or two images to Library and right-click to choose "properties" and again like step (2) in the linkage section you tick the "Export for AS" option and give a name you prefer to type later via code. We'll assume you chose names like Pic1 and Pic2. Notice as well that the "base Class" for these bitmaps is bitmapData? That's the data you change to update your image by code.
So to update dynamically by code... Create a bitmap and update its pixel data with any bitmapData from Library. Something like:
//# in your imports...
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.display.Bitmap;
import flash.display.BitmapData;
import flash.utils.getQualifiedClassName;
import flash.utils.*;

....

//# in vars declarations...
public var my_icon : Icon = new Icon ();
public var my_BMP : Bitmap;
public var str_Type : String = ""; //later holds library object type for checks

....

//# later in your code
stage.addChild(my_icon); //looks invisible since empty

my_BMP = new Bitmap; //create new instance
my_icon.addChild ( my_BMP ); //add the empty bitmap into Icon

change_Icon ( Pic1 ); //parameter can be Library's Bitmap or Movieclip

Making the change_Icon function...
If you just kept it bitmaps (PNG files?) you could use a simple function like this...
public function change_Icon ( in_Param : Class ) : void
{
    my_BMP.bitmapData = new in_Param as BitmapData; //replace pixels of existing bitmap container
}

But since you say it could be anything, sometimes a Bitmap or sometimes a MovieClip, well in that case you have to check the input and handle accordingly.
public function change_Icon ( in_Param : * ) : void
{
    //# Check the input type and handle it
    str_Type = String ( getDefinitionByName( String( getQualifiedSuperclassName(in_Param) ) ) );

    if ( str_Type == "[class BitmapData]" )
    {
        trace ( "this object is a Bitmap..." );
        my_BMP.bitmapData = new in_Param as BitmapData; //replace pixels of existing bitmap container
    }

    if ( str_Type == "[class MovieClip]" )
    {
        trace ( "this object is a Movieclip..." );

        var temp_MC = new in_Param();
        var temp_BMD : BitmapData = new BitmapData( temp_MC.width, temp_MC.height );

        my_BMP.bitmapData = temp_BMD; //assign data to this bitmap
        temp_BMD.draw (temp_MC); //update by drawing
    }

}

A: After adding your icons (image files) to your library, converting them to MovieClips and setting their AS linkage like this, for example :

You can use, for example, a Sprite object to load your icon inside your Icon class instance where your Icon class can be like this, for example :
package  {

    import flash.display.Sprite;

    public class Icon extends Sprite
    {
        private var _icon:Sprite;

        public function Icon(IconClass:Class): void
        {
            _icon = new IconClass();
            addChild(_icon);
        }

        public function changeIcon(IconClass:Class): void
        {
            removeChild(_icon);
            _icon = new IconClass();
            addChild(_icon);
        }

    }

}

Then in your main code, you can use that class :
import Icon;

var icon:Icon = new Icon(PHPIcon);
addChild(icon);

then to change the icon, you've just to call the changeIcon() function :
icon.changeIcon(JSIcon).

Edit :
If you don't want to call addChild() to add your Icon class's instance to it's parent container, the constructor of your Icon class can be like this for example :
public function Icon(container:DisplayObjectContainer, IconClass:Class): void
{
    container.addChild(this);
    _icon = new IconClass();
    addChild(_icon);
}

then for its instance
var icon:Icon = new Icon(this, PHPIcon);

Hope that can help.

A: Thanks finally now I have a base class to work with on future projects, I also use list so all I have to do is call new Icon(myIcon, x, y, this);
package  {

    import flash.display.Sprite;
    import flash.display.DisplayObjectContainer;

    public class Icon extends Sprite {
        public static var list:Array = new Array();
        private var icon:Sprite;
        private var n:int;

        public function Icon(IconClass:Class, x:int, y:int, container:DisplayObjectContainer):void {
            container.addChild(this);
            icon = new IconClass();
            n = list.push(this);
            addChild(icon);

Choosing the perfect Christmas tree is one of the most magical and enjoyable parts of the festive season – that is until you need to drive it home and discover it won't fit in your car.
A large Christmas tree looks great when you're picking it out, and there's no doubt it will dazzle your guests at your annual Christmas get together. But we've discovered that none of the UK's top five best-selling cars can squeeze in a Christmas tree that's over 165cm – that's 20cm less than the average-sized Christmas tree bought in the UK*.
We've measured the inside of some of the most popular cars to reveal what size Christmas tree they can carry, so you'll know what size tree to get and don't end up having to drag it home.
We also offer some top tips on choosing and caring for your tree, as well as the best way to load up the car – including how to get it on a roof rack.

How much space does your car have?
None of the top five best-selling cars in the UK** can fit a large cut Christmas tree in its cabin. In fact, none of them can fit in a tree over 165cm – 20cm less than the average size Christmas tree bought in the UK .
However, it's important to note that some cars front passenger seat can be folded forwards. This will typically offer an average gain of around 45cm. So check your car and bear this in mind when you're measuring up your tree.
Our measurements go to show that just because your car looks big on the outside, it doesn't mean it's spacious on the inside.
Despite being a beefy SUV, the Kia Sportage offers a minimum space of 151.5cm, which would only just fit a medium size tree. While the bulky Nissan Qashqai can only manage 161.5cm – this equates to just over 5ft.
By contrast, some of the so-called small and medium models are also deceptively spacious inside. The current Honda Civic actually has a rather roomy cabin suitable for a tree up to 170cm tall.
The Honda Jazz has a minimum space of 149.5cm, putting it right on the small/medium tree threshold – if you're going for a medium size tree, you'll want to put the passenger seat as far forward as possible.
The Mini, on the other hand, really does live up to its name. Its usable space is just 118cm – so it's unlikely you will be able to squeeze even a small tree in the back without some real effort.
Only cars that are reliable, economical, comfortable, safe and good to drive can become a Which? Best Buy car.
This will make it more manageable when loading it in or on to the car, while also protecting the foliage.
Put all the back passenger seats down and remove any other luggage from the cabin. Some cars will also let you fully fold the front passenger seat down too.
Once the tree is safely inside the cabin and all the doors are closed, make sure you can still see out of your windows, can move the gear stick easily and that nothing is hitting the steering wheel.
'Larger trees can be very difficult to transport due to their size and weight', explains Kamalvir Dhillon. 'They are also easily damaged if not moved with care and consideration for their size.
Staying safe on the road is the priority. We explain the raft of safety features available in cars.
What kind of tree will you have this year?
The British Christmas Tree Growers Association estimates around seven million real trees are bought each year. But it's not just real trees people are buying these days.
We surveyed more than 43,000 car owners in order to reveal the most – and the least – reliable cars.
Nordmann Fir – rich green foliage, soft leaves and great needle retention. It will stay fresh for a long time as long as it's watered.
Norway Spruce – often regarded as the traditional tree but has been overtaken by the Nordman. The Norway has lighter green foliage and shorter needles. It is usually a pyramid shape and has a typical Christmas tree smell.
Blue Spruce – natural blue foliage and a conical shape.
Fraser Fir – leaner in shape with much denser foliage and a lovely scent. The Fraser firs branches are also turned slightly upward.
The British Christmas Tree Growers Association estimates that about 80% of the trees sold in the UK are Nordmann Fir and around 10-15% Norway Spruce. The remainder of trees sold are lesser-known varieties.
Research the type – every kind of tree has different needles, colours and smells.
Pick the perfect size for your room – don't overestimate the space you have. You want to leave around 6 inches on top of the tallest point of the decorated tree.
Check the tree is fresh at point of purchase – it should have a healthy green appearance and no browning needles.
Make sure you can get it home – check how much space your car has. If it's not enough, get a roof rack, or rent a van or pay for delivery.
Cut tree? – saw 3cm off the bottom of the trunk and stand it in a bucket of water.
Potted tree? – keep it moist but don't leave it sitting in water.
Keep it cool – place it away from any radiators or heat source.
Avoid sitting at the side of the road with your Christmas tree and broken down car for hours on end. Here are the best car breakdown providers.
