Google "Iron Man, Tony Stark" and within the first few results you'll find Websites likening that superhero to Elon Musk, 41, the entrepreneur behind PayPal, the rocket maker SpaceX, and the electric-car sensation Tesla Motors. The comparison's apt. Musk is smart and stylish, and he fights planetary threats like global warming by creating spacecraft and zero-emissions cars that shame NASA and the auto giants. He's as rich as Iron Man's armored billionaire, too. Tesla shares rocketed this year from $35 to $115 -- lifting the Palo Alto auto start-up to a market value of $14 billion at May's end -- before easing back to a recent $102, where Musk's quarter-interest in the company is still worth $3.4 billion.
Barron's takes the car, and the stock, for a test drive. One comes out a winner.
It's possible to admire Musk's achievements, while still wondering if Tesla's stock market fans are viewing its prospects through 3D glasses. The towering expectations now priced into the stock don't account for the Grand Canyon leap that Tesla must make to reach its goal of cutting its car's $90,000-plus sticker price in half. Electric-car batteries cost a heck of a lot, and today's Tesla Model S owes its better-than-200-mile range to batteries costing tens of thousands of dollars. Industries and governments around the world have spent billions on battery research, but few expect to trim electric-car battery costs by more than 20%-30% by the planned 2016 launch of Tesla's car for the Everyman. Perhaps Musk will confound the industry again, but if Tesla's next-generation car can't go the distance at half the price, its stock will head much lower.
One ingredient that fueled Tesla's (ticker: TSLA) tripling this year was an epic squeeze of those comic-book villains who had doubted Musk and sold more than a third of free-trading Tesla shares short. That fuel seems spent, for the moment. Traders say that the recently unborrowable shares are available again and can be had for a single-digit interest rate, instead of last month's 90% vig. With the shorts in retreat, Tesla should trade more in line with its fundamentals.
TESLA'S MODEL S SEDAN has won every car award in sight, and test drives by several Barron's staffers convinced us the Model S deserves the accolades. It has attracted 10,000 buyers in less than a year, and Musk told shareholders at last Tuesday's annual meeting that North American sales for the electric luxury car look as if they'll be 15,000 units this year.
But it will take time to discover how much sustained demand there is for a marvel priced above $90,000 (the price for a Model S Performance version, after a $7,500 federal tax credit). No one yet knows what portion of Tesla's initial buyers were "early adopters," unrepresentative of ongoing demand. Tesla irked analysts last month when it stopped disclosing its end-of-quarter order backlog -- which might have shed light on the issue -- after previously trumpeting a 15,000-unit reservation list.
The Model S won't get Tesla profits to a level that justifies today's stock price. The company expects to sell 21,000 worldwide this year, and Musk told shareholders on Tuesday that the car's annual sales might eventually reach 30,000 or 40,000. At about the 30,000 units that most bullish analysts predict for 2014, Tesla might earn about a buck a share (if you don't count the expense of stock options) -- which means the $102 stock is flying at 100 times next year's earnings forecast.
A top-of-the-line SUV called the Model X will bolster sales volume in 2015, but today's stock price is really a bet that Tesla can sell hundreds of thousands of cars a year, starting with the late 2016 launch of the Gen III that's supposed to cost well under $50,000. But there will have to be breakthroughs in battery technology to get Tesla to that price level without skimping on range; the Model S can go more than 200 miles on a charge. A battery-starved Gen III would encounter the same disappointing demand as other affordable electrics, like the Nissan Leaf (7201.Japan), Ford Focus EV (F), or General Motors ' (GM) plug-in hybrid Chevy Volt.
Stubbornly costly batteries may even cause headaches when today's Tesla's luxury cars arrive on the used-car lot. Folks who buy $90,000 cars tend to replace them every few years, and the bid for a four-year-old Model S may prove disappointing if it's going to need an expensive new battery in a few more years. Musk has astutely met that concern with a financing option guaranteeing resale value, but that just shifts the risk to shareholders.
As a result, Tesla's balance sheet will sprout a contingent liability for the "residual value" of those cars, and analysts worry that the amount will quickly rise to hundreds of millions of dollars -- on the order of half of the company's book value. The deferred impact of all those used batteries will become clearer in coming years, after Tesla also starts running low on the government-legislated zero-emission-vehicle credits that offset $68 million in expenses in the March 2013 quarter.
We had hoped Musk would advise us on these points, but our scheduled interview with him ended abruptly on Friday, when he hung up on us.
"I have no interest in an article that debates what we consider to be an obvious point -- which is that there is a dramatic reduction in battery costs," Musk said, after a few questions. "You clearly do not understand the business. My apologies. I am terminating the interview."
ELON MUSK IS NOT A GUY you like to bet against. He co-founded the Internet payment business PayPal, which eBay bought for $1.5 billion in 2002, after he had launched Space Exploration Technologies, the private company whose rockets began resupplying the International Space Station after NASA's own shuttles became museum pieces. Since 2008, Musk has been CEO of both SpaceX and Tesla, while chairing the board of the solar-power outfit SolarCity (SCTY).
Morgan Stanley auto analyst Adam Jonas compared Musk to railroad pioneer Cornelius Vanderbilt and Thomas Edison, in a report last month that called Tesla the best American auto maker and the analyst's top pick.
Tesla's first electric car was the $110,000 Roadster, a two-seater whose limited production couldn't buoy it through the 2008 financial crisis. Tesla survived with a $465 million loan from the U.S. Department of Energy, investments by Daimler (DAI.Germany) and Toyota (7203.Japan) -- which buy electric powertrains from Tesla -- and a 2010 initial offering of shares at $17 apiece. It helped that Tesla was unencumbered by union contracts or pensions. By June 2012, the Model S started rolling off the robotic assembly lines of a Fremont, Calif., plant that Tesla had bought for a song from GM and Toyota.
The Model S is a sensation. Motor Trend anointed it the 2013 Car of the Year, while the curmudgeons at Consumer Reports rated it 99 out of 100. Its electric motor has one moving part -- a simple design that has powered everything from blenders to locomotives since the 1888 patent on an alternating-current motor was issued to the company's namesake, inventor Nikola Tesla. The high price of the Model S lets it pack enough battery capacity to overcome the range limitations that stifle sales of cheaper electric cars.
In a test drive around Manhattan last month, the Model S lived up to its hype. Acceleration was smooth and quiet. The 17-inch touchscreen served up Slacker Radio stations, Google Maps, and anything else on the Internet. Passersby stopped for a look.
Tesla shares began their melt-up last month, when the company said it had sold 4,900 cars in the March quarter, generating $560 million in revenue and its first profit: $15 million, or 12 cents a share. Close examination revealed that the profit followed $68 million in payments from other car makers that haven't met federal quotas for producing zero-emission cars. They can purchase clean-air credits from auto producers like Tesla. Still, Tesla's March sales put the Model S on track for annual sales of 20,000 cars–topping the North American volume of successful luxury sports sedans such as the Audi A6 or the BMW 7 Series (see table). And sales hadn't even begun in Europe or Asia.
To address these limitations, Tesla founder and CEO Elon Musk predicts that the third-generation Tesla, to be called Gen III, will open the mass market for its electric automobiles in 2016. Even so, there could be some serious bumps in the road ahead for both the existing and coming models.
• The $90,000 Model S is simply too pricey to achieve high-volume sales. The battery alone, which provides a range of 230 miles, costs tens of thousands of dollars.
• The more affordable Gen III, available in three years, will have a less expensive battery, but at the cost of a shorter per-charge range.
• Tesla is an affluent suburbanite's car. The Supercharger infrastructure of nationwide charging stations, announced last week with much fanfare, won't address the hassles faced by city dwellers, especially in Europe.
• The zero-emissions credits that subsidized Tesla's recent expenses will go away next year.
The stock leapt 50% after the March-quarter results, and the company took the occasion to raise $1 billion on May 24, through a $660 million convertible-note offering, plus the sale of stock at $92 a share, including $100 million subscribed to by Musk. With fanfare, Tesla repaid the remainder of its $450 million government loan and said that it would spend some of its new capital to expand its network of Superchargers–specially equipped locations that can recharge a Model S in a half-hour, instead of the usual overnight span. The network will grow to 100 stations by next year. Musk said he will demonstrate its reach this coming winter by making a cross-country road trip with his kids, "like the Chevy Chase movies."
So much good news for Tesla sent short sellers running for cover, squeezing the stock up to $115 on May 29. "We had to cover," one bear told Barron's. "The position tripled on us in as many months." Longs who had taken margin loans to buy Tesla shares, won big, and none bigger than Musk. Filings show that he raised his equity stake to 28% from 27% with the help of $150 million in loans from Goldman Sachs.
When Tesla investors return their attention to fundamentals, they should think about the company's make-or-break plan to reach high sales volume in 2017 with the Gen III. Morgan Stanley's Jonas notes that the Gen III accounts for 75% of his long-term volume forecasts and two-thirds of his $109 share-price valuation. That forecast anticipates sales surpassing 450,000 units a year by 2027, at higher profit margins and valuation multiples than the rest of the auto industry.
The challenge is battery cost. The Morgan Stanley analyst assumes that it can drop by half, from $400 to $200 per kilowatt hour, and that consumers will accept a driving range below 140 miles. But the U.S. government and industry researchers say the cost performance of batteries is coming down slower than hoped. At GM, Director of Global Battery Systems Bill Wallace believes that battery-capacity costs can improve by about 20% in the next few years, with longer odds of saving 40% if new technologies pan out in five years.
Before ending our interview, Musk said that improvements will cut the cost of the Model S's battery to $10,000-$12,000.
Musk will succeed at establishing Tesla as a valuable brand, even if it winds up confined to the luxury bracket of the Model S and its crossover cousin, the Model X. Tesla stock, therefore, has a floor at whatever price a giant like Daimler might pay to buy the company. But an acquirer wouldn't wildly overpay for the cash flow expected from those luxury lines. Morgan Stanley sees Tesla's free cash flow hitting $400 million in 2016 -- the year before Gen III's expected launch. A Harley-Davidson multiple on that cash flow -- 10 times -- would support a Tesla stock price in the $30s. A BMW multiple of three times would point to a $10 price. Those levels surely undervalue Tesla and Musk. We suspect there'd be plenty of buyers at $50.
The mass-market segment will be crowded by the time Tesla plans to deliver Gen III. Chevy just introduced GM's first all-electric car, the Spark EV, at $20,000 (after the $7,500 tax credit). Consumers seem cool to paying more for an electric vehicle with a driving range that's a fraction of an internal-combustion model's. Disappointing demand drove price cuts last month on Honda's Fit EV and Nissan's Leaf. The category-leading Leaf sold fewer than 10,000 units last year.
We're sure Musk could have told us why potential buyers of affordable electrics still see internal-combustion-powered cars as a cheaper, more convenient choice.

Bobo-Dioulasso Grand Mosque is the oldest and also still in use that serves also as a monument in the second largest city in the West African country of Burkina Faso. As the city has two names that come from the two ethnic groups, Bobo and Dioula, that is how the city, as well as the mosque received their names.
Built in a Sudanese architectural style, it is comprised from laterite, clay and sheabutter which construction began in 1870. The construction of the Grand Mosque lasted for 10 years, and finally in 1880 it was finished and still today is in good condition thanks to the regular maintenance.
The Bobo-Dioulasso Grand Mosque is comprised of two large minarets which allow the people who could climb them to see the surroundings, as well as, there are 65 supporting pillars which are organized in corridors that intersect from where they are forming a veritable checkerboard. The mosque as a whole is organized in three different parts. In the first one, which is outside under a canopy is the place where only young women and girls gather to pray.
In the past, the women were not allowed to enter the mosque, but as the time changes the rules have changed too, and as one goes inside the mosque, it could be seen that the first two rows are reserved for older women who have already finished with the maternity or perhaps went to Mecca.
The next seven rows are reserved specifically just for the men, where the back row is only for those who are of great importance and are there to help the Imam. In total, the mosque can accommodate over 800 people, which makes it one of the bigger ones in that part of the continent.
As previously stated, the mosque is in very good shape due to the regular repairs, and whenever in the rainy season some damages are to be seen on the mosque, immediately those are being fixed. The two minarets are holding rooms, and there are 4 rooms for the women and 5 rooms for the men who are using them as a retreat in silence and without companions. The whole mosque is covered with a flat terrace where one can follow the interior architecture through the earth rods which are punctuating the space.
Still serving as a proof that buildings can last for a longer period if protected and repaired on regular basis, this Grand Mosque is definitely the pride of Burkina Faso's second largest city, and most likely it is one of the major tourist spots for the foreigners visiting the city.

Liverpool, a port on the north bank of the estuary of the Mersey, was first used as a harbour in the 13th century for sending supplies to Ireland. Liverpool only had a population of about 22,000 in 1750 but the city grew rapidly in the second half of the century as a result of the slave trade. By the 1740s Liverpool had eclipsed its rivals Bristol and London, and according to David Richardson, the author of Liverpool and the English Slave Trade (1994), the port consolidated its position as "the undisputed slaving capital of England and by far the largest slave port in the Atlantic world."
Daniel Defoe visited Liverpool during this period and remarked: "Liverpool has an opulent, flourishing and increasing trade to Virginia, and the English island colonies in America. They trade round the whole island, send ships to Norway, to Hamburg, and to the Baltic, as also to Holland and Flanders; so they are almost like the Londoners, universal merchants. There is no town in England, London excepted, that can equal Liverpool for the fineness of the streets, the beauty of the buildings; many of the houses are all of stone and the rest (the new part) of brick."
Being a seaman involved in the slave-trade was a dangerous activity. Stephen D. Behrendt, carried out a study of 1,709 muster rolls for Liverpool slave voyages between 1780 and 1807. He discovered that 17.8 per cent of original crew died (10,439 out of 58,778). The time spent on the African coast was particularly dangerous. Although large numbers of men died from drowning, Behrendt discovered that various types of fevers accounted for the majority of deaths. Gastrointestinal diseases including flux, dysentery and diarrhoea accounted for 11 per cent of the sample. Thomas Clarkson, who campaigned against the slave trade, attempted to show that it was highly dangerous for the sailors. He claimed that in Liverpool alone, over 15,165 seaman had been lost since 1771 in the 1,001 ships that had sailed from there to the coast of Africa.
The port of Liverpool became important in the development of the textile industry. By the beginning of the 19th century Liverpool had replaced London as the principal port where cotton was imported. To cope with this increased traffic, eight new docks were built between 1815 and 1835.
The early part of the 19th century saw a rapid growth in the trade between Liverpool and Manchester. The success of the Stockton & Darlington railway opened in 1825, convinced Liverpool merchants such as Joseph Sandars that the city needed a new transport system. Sandars formed the Liverpool & Manchester Railway Company and with the help of William James, recruited George Stephenson as chief engineer.
The Liverpool & Manchester railway was opened on 15th September, 1830. The railway was a great success. In 1831 the company transported 445,047 passengers. Receipts were £155,702 with profits of £71,098. By 1844 receipts had reached £258,892 with profits of £136,688. During this period shareholders were regularly paid out an annual dividend of £10 for every £100 invested.
The railway increased the importance of Liverpool as a trading centre. A new series of docks were built, including the Albert and Stanley Docks during the 1840s. Dr. William Ducan argued that this rapid growth caused considerable problems for the working classes: "In the streets inhabited by the working classes, I believe that the great majority are without sewers, and that where they do exist they are of a very imperfect kind unless where the ground has a natural inclination, therefore the surface water and fluid refuse of every kind stagnate in the street, and add, especially in hot weather, their pestilential influence to that of the more solid filth. With regard to the courts, I doubt whether there is a single court in Liverpool which communicates with the street by an underground drain, the only means afforded for carrying off the fluid dirt being a narrow, open, shallow gutter, which sometimes exists, but even this is very generally choked up with stagnant filth."
This view was supported by a study carried out in 1842 by Edwin Chadwick: "Of the deaths which occurred amongst the labouring classes in Liverpool, it appears that no less than 62% of the total number were deaths under five years of age. Even amongst those entered as shopkeepers and tradesmen, no less than 50% died before they attained that period."
Large warehouses were erected in Liverpool and the dock area eventually spread for 7 miles (11.3 km) along the Mersey Estuary. The expansion in size of the port also stimulated the growth of other industries such as marine engineering, clothing manufacture and food processing. By 1861 the population of Liverpool had reached 444,000.
Atkinson Grimshaw, Liverpool (1875)
Ida Wells visited Liverpool in 1894 and was impressed by the tolerance exhibited by the people of the city: "Her freedom-loving citizens not only subscribe to the doctrine that human beings regardless of colour or condition are equal before the law, but they practice what they preach. Here a coloured person can ride in any sort of conveyance in any part of the country without being insulted; stop in any hotel or be accommodated at any restaurant one wishes without being refused with contempt; wander into any picture gallery, lecture room, concert hall, theatre or church and receive only the most courteous treatment from officials and fellow sightseers."

(5) Ida Wells visited Liverpool in 1894. She wrote about the experience in her autobiography, Crusade for Justice (1928)
Liverpool has few manufacturing interests. Her importance is derived from her situation as a seaport; her life is purely commercial, and her wealth is derived from handling the produce of other towns and countries.
Liverpool has learned that she can prosper with out the slave trade or slave labour. Her docks are crowded with ships from all parts of the world. And the city, with its population of six hundred thousand souls, is one of the most prosperous in the United Kingdom.
Her freedom-loving citizens not only subscribe to the doctrine that human beings regardless of colour or condition are equal before the law, but they practice what they preach. Here a coloured person can ride in any sort of conveyance in any part of the country without being insulted; stop in any hotel or be accommodated at any restaurant one wishes without being refused with contempt; wander into any picture gallery, lecture room, concert hall, theatre or church and receive only the most courteous treatment from officials and fellow sightseers.

• creates difficulties in chip disposal.
• easy collection and disposal of chips.
This is accomplished without using a separate chip-breaker either as an attachment or an additional geometrical modification of the tool.
• Forced chip breaking by additional tool geometrical features or devices.
The basic principle of forced chip breaking is schematically shown in Fig. when the strain hardened and brittle running chip strikes the heel, the cantilever chip gets forcibly bent and then breaks.
Clamped type chip breakers work basically in the principle of stepped type chip-breaker but have the provision of varying the width of the step and / or the angle of the heel.


Barely two years after a three-storey building collapsed at Swamps Street, Odunfa Street on Lagos Island, another building Tuesday collapsed in the same axis, trapping scores underneath the rubble.
Although five people have been rescued already by emergency workers, rescue operations are still on to evacuate those still trapped under the debris.
At the scene of the incident were the Lagos State Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA), the men of the state fire service, as well as policemen, who were deployed to secure the property from looters.
According to an eyewitness account, the building, said to be owned by the Kafo family, suddenly gave way and collapsed around 4pm without any prior warning or crack.
As initially confirmed by the Director, Lagos State Fire Service, Mr. Rasaq Fadipe, five people were rescued first, adding that operation is ongoing.

Q: Cannot pause pool when streaming data with mysql-node I use node and the mysql package to stream data from node to client.
The idea is,
define a pool, and queries based on the pool.
Then pass the streaming rows to an array.
If that array's length reaches a length, pause the stream, process the rows, send them to client via websockets.
Resume stream. Repeat until no other rows are left.
I am following the examples on the mysql npm page but I get pool.pause is not a function
Here is the code
var pool  = mysql.createPool({
  connectionLimit : 100,
  host            : config.host,
  user            : config.user,
  password        : config.password,
  database        : config.database
});

//turn simple queries to promises
const query = (str, ar) => {
  return new Promise(function(resolve, reject) {
    pool.query(str, ar, function (error, results, fields) {
      if (error) {
          return reject(error);
      }
      resolve({results, fields});
    });
  })//promise
}

const userdetails = (ws, data) => {

//do a check, unrelated to streaming
   query('SELECT COUNT(id) as countrows FROM users WHERE category = ? ', [data.category])
  .then((data)=>{
     if(data.results[0].countrows > 5000){
        // if more than 5000, we stream
        // the following is based on the mysql code found in their page
        // it has no relation to the promise-based query above
        var query = pool.query('SELECT id, name, address, sale, preexisting, amount FROM users WHERE category = ? ', [data.category])

        query.on('result', row => {
          rowsToProcess.push(row);
          if (rowsToProcess.length >= 100) {
            pool.pause();
            processRows();
          }
        });

        query.on('end', () => {
          processRows();
        });

       const processRows = (done) => {
         //process some data
         //send them back using websockets
         ws.send(JSON.stringify({ data }));
         pool.resume();
       }
     }
  })
}

I dont know if this is related to making a simple query , a promise or using the pool, or anything else. This gives the TypeError: pool.pause is not a function and I cannot fix it. Please advice.
Thanks

A: You can try this solution,
I have used this many times:
    const mysqlStreamQueryPromise = (queryString, params) => {
        return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
            let streamData = connection.query(queryString,params).stream();
            let data = [];
            streamData.on('data', item => {
                streamData.pause();
                data.push(item);
                streamData.resume();
            });
            streamData.on('end', end => {
                return resolve(data);
            });
            streamData.on('error', error => {
                return reject(error);
            });
        });
    }

A: Use this
    var pool  = mysql.createPool({
        connectionLimit : 100,
        host            : config.host,
        user            : config.user,
        password        : config.password,
        database        : config.database
      });

      //turn simple queries to promises
      const query = (str, ar) => {
        return new Promise(function(resolve, reject) {
          pool.query(str, ar, function (error, results, fields) {
            if (error) {
                return reject(error);
            }
            resolve({results, fields});
          });
        })//promise
      }

      const userdetails = (ws, data) => {

      //do a check, unrelated to streaming
         query('SELECT COUNT(id) as countrows FROM users WHERE category = ? ', [data.category])
        .then((data)=>{
           if(data.results[0].countrows > 5000){
              // if more than 5000, we stream
              // the following is based on the mysql code found in their page
              // it has no relation to the promise-based query above
              var query = pool.query('SELECT id, name, address, sale, preexisting, amount FROM users WHERE category = ? ', [data.category]).stream();

              query.on('result', row => {
                rowsToProcess.push(row);
                if (rowsToProcess.length >= 100) {
                  pool.pause();
                  processRows();
                }
              });

              query.on('end', () => {
                processRows();
              });

             const processRows = (done) => {
               //process some data
               //send them back using websockets
               ws.send(JSON.stringify({ data }));
               pool.resume();
             }
           }
        })
      }

Journalism trainees have achieved a record pass rate in the industry's professional exam with 72pc of candidates qualifying as seniors.
Last month saw 69 candidates sit the National Qualification in Journalism with 50 of them achieving a pass.
The pass rate of 72pc is the best since the NQJ replaced the old National Certificate Examination in March 2013 and the highest since the National Council for the Training of Journalists' own records began in 2002.
Prior this to this year, the best result achieved since 2002 was in July 2008 when 66pc of candidates of passed.
Since the exam was overhauled, pass rates for the NQJ have gone from 54pc in March 2013, 49pc last July, 62pc in November and 67pc in March this year.
Commenting on the results, the chief examiner Steve Nelson put the improvement down to "increased focus" on the skills needed to be a senior rather than any "dumbing down" of the exam.
Said Steve: "Examiners remain keen to point out that the pass rate in no way represents a "dumbing down" in the marking criteria used for the exam, which remains as robust and rigorous as ever.
The NQJ for reporters is divided into four sections: an e-logbook; a news interview; a news report; and a media law and practice paper. Candidates have to pass all four sections to become seniors.
Last month's sitting saw a pass rate of 78pc for the media law and practice exam, 75pc for news report, 80pc for news interview and 96pc for logbooks.
Congratulations to the 50, that is an amazing achievement.
No one can accuse the NCTJ of dumbing down with only 50 seniors qualifying from about 75 accredited NCTJ courses around the country.
Alternatively you could say 50 from about 1,500 who start NCTJ training each year.
Fantastic, Well done NCTJ on your record pass rate and good luck to all the successful students .
If the chief examiner uses such a cobweb-clad cliche, is there hope?
How does the NCTJ claim its records of exam success only begin in 2002? Was a different NCTJ operating during the 1980s, or the 90s for that matter?
Well done everyone. These exams are incredibly tough and it's a great achievement to pass them.
Congratulations to Chichester Observer's Chris, Bex and Olivia for passing their exams first time!

celebrated Greek physician of 2c.; his work still was a foundation of medicine in the Middle Ages and his name is used figuratively for doctors.

Moor (n.)
"North African, Berber, one of the race dwelling in Barbary," late 14c., from Old French More, from Medieval Latin Morus, from Latin Maurus "inhabitant of Mauretania" (Roman northwest Africa, a region now corresponding to northern Algeria and Morocco), from Greek Mauros, perhaps a native name, or else cognate with mauros "black" (but this adjective only appears in late Greek and may as well be from the people's name as the reverse).
Also applied to the Arabic conquerors of Spain. Being a dark people in relation to Europeans, their name in the Middle Ages was a synonym for "Negro;" later (16c.-17c.); being the nearest Muslims to Western Europe, it was used indiscriminately of Muslims (Persians, Arabs, etc.) but especially those in India. Cognate with Dutch Moor, German Mohr, Danish Maurer, Spanish Moro, Italian Moro. Related: Mooress.
name of the idol which the Templars were accused of worshipping, regarded as a corruption of Mahomet (see Muhammad), "a name which took strange shapes in the Middle Ages" [Century Dictionary]. Related: Baphometic.
clothing manufacturer trendy in the 1970s and 1980s, the company name was bought in 1930s from A.J. Izod, a London tailoring establishment. The surname (also Izzard, etc.) goes back to the Middle Ages and might be related to the proper name Isold.

As a derogatory term for "an Italian" (1896) it is from Guinea Negro (1740s) "black person, person of mixed ancestry;" applied to Italians probably because of their dark complexions relative to northern Europeans, and after 1911 it was occasionally applied to Hispanics and Pacific Islanders as well. New Guinea was so named 1546 by Spanish explorer Inigo Ortiz de Retes in reference to the natives' dark skin and tightly curled hair. The Guinea hen (1570s) is a domestic fowl imported from there. Related: Guinean.

Under-pressure Pakistan 17-0 at lunch after England's mammoth 657
Pakistan safely negotiated the early overs to reach 17 without loss at lunch on Friday — the second day of the opening Test against England, after the visitors were all out for a mammoth 657 in Rawalpindi.
Openers Imam-ul-Haq and Abdullah Shafique were on 11 and six respectively as Pakistan need 458 to avoid the follow-on — a huge task despite the flat Rawalpindi Stadium pitch.
Solid stuff from the openers 👏#PAKvENG | #UKSePK pic.twitter.com/GnZSS2SVdB
Earlier, resuming at 506-4, England added 151 runs in 125 minutes in the extended two-and-a-half-hour session, with Harry Brook taking his overnight score of 101 to 153 — one of four centurions in the innings.
Skipper Ben Stokes (41), debutant Liam Livingstone (nine) and Brook were all dismissed by pacer Naseem Shah, who finished with 3-140.
Leg-spinner Zahid Mahmood conceded 235 for his four wickets — the most by a bowler on a Test debut.
Previously, Sri Lankan off-spinner Suraj Randiv conceded 222 against India in Colombo in 2010.
England's total is their highest against Pakistan in all Tests, improving on their 589-9 at Manchester in 2016.
On Thursday, England became the first team to score 500 runs on the opening day of a Test match, bettering Australia's 112-year-old record of 494-6 against South Africa in Sydney.
Zak Crawley (122), Ollie Pope (108) and Ben Duckett (107) were the other centurions in the innings.
The three-match Test series is England's first in Pakistan for 17 years.
England and Pakistan will contest a three-Test series with the first match already started from Dec 1-5, the second in Multan from Dec 9-13 and the third in Karachi from Dec 17-21.


Summer is just about over, and we enjoyed the sweet watermelon and kiwi. Now fall is on the horizon, and fall harvest is bringing in a variety of nutritious packed fruits and vegetables. Bring in the fall with these 4 Superfoods.
CAULIFLOWER. Cauliflower is also full of antioxidants and contains a range of vitamins and minerals that could boost your health. Cauliflower is rich with Vitamin C and fiber and could help balance hormones. With colder temperatures right around the corner, you could cook up a nice Cauliflower Soup dish or rice bowl. To find out creative ways to include cauliflower into your diet, visit: http://www.eatingwell.com/recipes/19296/ingredients/vegetables/cauliflower/.
SWEET POTATOES. I just love the smell of sweet potatoes. But smell isn't the only thing I love about them. Sweet potatoes are a great source of beta-carotene, which is known for helping to prevent and repair damage to your cells. They can also help you maintain clear skin. Although we may love Grandma's Sweet Potato Pie, there are other delicious meals such as Sweet Potato Casserole and others that we could try out at http://www.delish.com/cooking/g3753/healthy-sweet-potato-recipes/.
PUMPKIN. Pumpkin spice and everything nice, that's what fall is made of. Pumpkin contains a high dosage of Vitamin A and potassium. It could help strengthen your vision and immune system. Pumpkin seeds also hold a great nutritional value due to the protein and fiber they carry. Yes, some may familiarize pumpkins with Halloween, but pumpkins are everything but scary to your overall health. Instead of just using a pumpkin to carve out for the holidays, check out the Beef and Pumpkin Stew and Pumpkin Turkey Chili and more at: http://dish.allrecipes.com/healthy-pumpkin-recipes/.
Jump start your Fall Season with these powerful superfoods!

LSRA receives over 600 complaints about barristers and solicitors over six-month period
Zoe Richardson
Aisling Ray
The Legal Services Regulatory Authority (LSRA) has recently published its second report, which outlines that it received 605 complaints about solicitors and barristers between 7 March and 6 September 2020. Of those complaints received, 587 related to solicitors and only 18 to barristers.
The LSRA took over the role of dealing with complaints about solicitors from the Law Society in October 2019, and this is the second report it has published. The previous report detailed the receipt of 636 complaints in the five months preceding March 2020, with the number of complaints received since then slightly down on previous numbers.
Of the 605 complaints received by the LSRA's Complaints and Resolutions Unit:
A total of 346 complaints (57%) related to alleged misconduct;
With 213 (35%) complaints relating to alleged provision of inadequate legal services;
A further 46 (8%) related to alleged excessive costs (overcharging);
169 complaints received during the period were closed, with 96 of these deemed inadmissible and 23 withdrawn;
50 complaints were resolved informally with the assistance of the LSRA during what is known as the pre-admissibility stage – that is before the LSRA makes a determination as to whether a complaint is admissible or not;
436 complaints remain under investigation.
The report indicates that a total of 1,271 phone calls and emails were received over the six-month period requesting information and/or complaint forms, with wills and probate, litigation, conveyancing and family law among the areas of legal services to which complaints related.
Poor communication between legal practitioners and clients is highlighted as a key feature of most grievances and the LSRA, as in its first report, again emphasised the importance of "clear and timely communication" by legal practitioners with both clients and colleagues.
Another theme identified by the LSRA report is complaints relating to alleged rudeness of legal practitioners, and the report indicates that a number of complaints alleging that a legal practitioner had behaved in a rude or insulting manner were received from members of the public as well as others who work in a court setting, such as expert witnesses and interpreters.
The report notes that behaving in such a way can have disciplinary consequences for a legal practitioner if the complaint is upheld, particularly where a pattern of this type of behaviour can be demonstrated. As a result of the rise in this type of complaint, the LSRA intends to address the issue of rudeness in more detail in its next bi-annual report.

I started my own business eight years ago and coasted by, content with my small but steady number of clients. But this past year I found myself with more time on my hands and I wanted to expand my brand. The problem was I didn't know exactly how to grow my business, and my shyness prevented me from taking chances and introducing myself to new clients. When Shian approached me, I admit, I was skeptical. How was I going to talk to this complete stranger about myself? But Shian was so personable, she put me at ease straight away. She asked me interesting questions and I found myself gaining new perspective and insight into my business and, more importantly, myself. Shian provided me with the tools I need to not only get started, but also to get back on track when life gets busy. Shian has given me the kickstart I needed to feel more confident, more focused, and more motivated to improve on my business. People ask me if I've cut my hair or started wearing a different makeup, because I look better and happier. I tell them, no, I've just finished a great coaching session!

De vergadertafel van Vladimir Poetin is een ovale beukentafel met wit blad die eind jaren 1990 in het Kremlin werd geïnstalleerd, tijdens het presidentschap van Boris Jeltsin. De tafel is 6 meter lang, is van Italiaanse makelij en werd gemaakt van een enkele plaat beukenhout en ondersteund door drie uitgeholde houten standaards. De tafel is wit gelakt en aan de zijkant verguld.

Omschrijving

In 2022 gebruikte de Russische president Vladimir Poetin de tafel om diverse wereldleiders te ontvangen, waaronder de Franse president Emmanuel Macron, de Duitse bondskanselier Olaf Scholz en VN-secretaris-generaal António Guterres. Poetin werd afgebeeld zittend aan het ene uiteinde van een zeer lange witte vergadertafel, met de andere gast ver weg van hem aan het andere uiteinde. Ook eigen Russische functionarissen werden in die periode door Poetin aan deze tafel ontvangen. Tijdens de Russische invasie van Oekraïne in 2022 maakte de tafel het voorwerp uit van talloze internetmemes.

The Java Messaging Service (JMS) has been implemented by means of different providers in the releases 4.x, 5.x and 6.x of JBoss application server. This tutorial explains how to configure and run some JMS destinations using a managed JMS environment (consumer located in JBoss AS) or a standalone JMS application.
The JMS API stands for Java Message Service Application Programming Interface, and it is used by applications to send asynchronous business-quality messages to other applications. In the messaging world, messages are not sent directly to other applications. Instead, messages are sent to destinations, known as queues or topics.
Applications sending messages do not need to worry if the receiving applications are up and running, and conversely, receiving applications do not need to worry about the sending application's status. Both senders, and receivers only interact with the destinations.
The JMS API is the standardized interface to a JMS provider, sometimes called a Message Oriented Middleware (MOM) system.
HornetQ configuration is located in JBoss 6 in deploy\hornetq.sar. You can add new Topic/Queues by adding them into hornetq-jms.xml file.

By admin on December 4, 2018 in Fund Raising, News
The owner of a barber's shop in Bradmore has taken a snip off his weekly wages to help fund an extra special Christmas present for a boy suffering from a rare chromosome disorder.
Matt Wilson, aged 25, from Raymond's Barbers, decided to donate all his wages from last Friday (November 30th), to help Wolverhampton wheelchair charity POWER PLEAS with their campaign for a new mobility trike for young James Padfield.
James, aged six and from Finchfield, suffers from a rare chromosome disorder which means he has no verbal communication and severe difficulties with his mobility, and is about to grow out of his current trike, which is unquestionably his most prized and valued possession.
POWER PLEAS, which funded James' first trike, launched a campaign to raise almost £1,700 required for the new customised trike, and Raymond's donation of £800, which includes both Matt's daily wage and funding from a raffle and contributions from customers, means he will now be able to receive it just in time for Christmas.
Matt on his fundraising day with James and James's Mum Sarah
"I've been cutting James's hair for about three years now, and it has been great to see the progress he has made during that time," says Matt.
"He loves his trike, and I have to cut his hair while he is sitting on it, so when we found out that he was going to need a new one, we wanted to try and help if we could.
"I decided to donate a day's wages, but so many other people have also come forward and made a donation which, along with the great support of Power Pleas, means we should be able to have enough for the trike.
"James is a great lad, and hopefully this will give him an even better Christmas and we can all look forward to seeing him coming for his next hair cut on his brand new trike."
James's Mum Sarah said she was almost lost for words when hearing of Matt's selfless gesture.
"It is difficult to know what to say when someone is so kind as Matt has been to do something like this – it is very humbling," she explained.
"The trike is so important to James – he is on it for long periods of every day – and without it he just wouldn't be able to access the world like he does.
"It really helps maintain his interest in what is going on around him, keeps his core muscles strong and helps support and develop his mobility, which is why we are so grateful that he will be able to continue this with the new trike."
POWER PLEAS was set up in 1987 since when it has provided approximately 200 wheelchairs and mobility aids not available via state provision to children with mobility disorders.
• A throwback to when James supported POWER PLEAS in a Wolves' collection, on a photo also including Wolves club captain Danny Batth and the late Baroness Rachael Heyhoe Flint
"James' parents' Dave and Sarah have been great supporters to us in recent years, including Dave taking on a 100-mile cycle fundraising ride, and helping us with promoting our annual collection with Tettenhall Rotary Club at Wolves matches," said the charity's Chairman, Keith Berry.
"As a small charity we are reliant on the generosity of individuals and organisations to help provide wheelchairs and mobility aids to people who need them, and this is another fantastic gesture from Matt and all at Raymond's to make such a positive difference to James's life."
Anyone else wishing to support POWER PLEAS can do so through the Power Pleas page on www.goldengiving.com.

The reviewer did point out that it's larger than the regular 500, but the rest of his opinions were not kind to Fiat.
The writer is clearly biased. I would describe him as underexposed as well.
Any time a writer throws in cutesy comparisons, I tune out. Plus the ouija board, slacker than a coachella stoner and the UPS truck beat him off the line? Really? I highly doubt it.
It's going to happen. There are people out there that just don't like fiat. This guy is one of them. Unfortunately, he is also a writer for the ny times. However, we have to focus on all the positive reviews the L has received (there have been many). Who knows, maybe this guy has back problems making the seats uncomfortable or dislikes anything from Italy (or Serbia). Maybe he doesn't fit in the seat because of his size. You just never know. I like the L and so do a lot of people. That's all that really matters.
Well put. The seatbacks end in the middle of his shoulder blades? Evidently, he is beyond average height and should mention that in his post to be fair. But I think it is obvious that wasn't on his mind. Oh well, he can keep his Juke.
*sorry, I always wanted to use that smiley and was in the mood!
No need to apologize. The writer of the article is an idiot. That's right - I said it.
I noticed when he also said "everyone" that sits in the car didn't like the seats. Really, everyone? And everyone consists of exactly who?
As a long-since retired journalist, it is embarrassing to see UPS written as U.P.S. and left unedited.
I think he likes the Rolls Royce Wraith, but I didn't get to read the article thanks to the NYTimes paywall after ten articles. He also might like the Aston Martin Vanquish. Just from reading through the titles and first few words of his review.
There are other cars he may like or not like. And his reviews are not necessarily anything more than his own personal taste. What isn't comfortable for him may be just fine and dandy for others.
Like the steering wheel blocking the gauges? I had that in my Honda Fit too. Luckily in my regular 500, I can make my speed show up in digits, lower in the gauge area, or I'd have the same problem in my Fiat. It's just the way I like to have the steering wheel arranged, I guess. Is that really a manufacturer problem, or is it because I'm short and that reviewer guy is tall?
He's comparing cars that aren't really that comparable. They all have applications. Some corner extremely well, but have a harsh ride. Some have a ton of horsepower, but that means the mpg take a hit. Some hold more people, or have a lower center of gravity, or all wheel drive. That means people get to choose what works best for them.
The NY Times print edition typically has two automobile articles on Sunday, and along with the 500L review was a cool article on the Pagani cars.
Although I think the writer went over the top I have to say I was also disappointed in the 500L I test drove.
I really love my Abarth and wanted so much to like the 500L. I was looking for something a little more practical with an auto trans for long trips with the wife when we need room to haul more 'stuff'.
The interior trim material choices were strange and the door panels stained very easily (dirty on all the demo cars). Lots of turbo lag. Rear seat folding arrangement was odd and wasted space. The handling felt more like an older minivan.
I think they would have done much better putting in a larger, normally aspirated engine. They made the same mistake with the Dodge Dart 1.4 Turbo model.
This guy clearly has an axe to grind. His bias is loud and clear. No one will confuse this with responsible reporting.
Not concerned. The 500L will sell.
Wait people still read the NYtimes ?
He got beat off the line by a UPS truck? No kidding..they're on a time crunch and beat everybody off the line. That guy knows nothing about cars, or UPS.
The NY Times' style guide differs from the AP style guide in this regard. NYT Manual of Style and Usage specifies "U.P.S." as the acceptable abbreviation for United Parcel Service.


What would you do if your new husband whipped out his BlackBerry or iPhone and broadcasted your vows before the marriage was sealed with a kiss?
Most women would throw a hissy fit or immediately request an annulment. If you're Jewish, you may even forego your "special time" following the ceremony. But what did this bride do? She grabbed her own smartphone and joined in on the online fun.
The At My Wedding Twittering and Facebooking at the Alter YouTube video has gone viral. With 87, 212 views and counting since being posted on November 22, 2009, the world cannot get enough of this social media obsessed wedding. Groom Dana Hanna explained that he has a lot of family scattered around the country, and Facebook is their primary vehicle of communication. Family was notified of their engagement via Facebook status updates, and they chose to do the same with their wedding.
What would an A-Lister do in this situation? Celebrities are notorious for craving the spotlight. The John Mayers, Speidis and Jon Gosselins of the world may not know when enough is enough, but the true A-Listers have a handle on reality. I can guarantee you that Brangelina would never tweet if they make it down the aisle. Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis? Fat chance.
What would YOU A-Listers do in this situation? Does social media ruin the wedding? This author thinks so.

There are 31 types of crystals. Bodies and things made up of these crystals can be grouped into classes, based on the independent material constants in the linear stress-strain relationship. The most general anisotropic material group, which requires twenty-one independent constants, is also called triclinic material.
Three other important nonisotropic material groups are monoclinic, orthotropic, and transversely isotropic materials.
Monoclinic materials require thirteen independent material constants. Here the Z plane is the plane of symmetry. This implies that the stress-strain relationships are the same in the positive and negative Z directions.
Orthotropic materials require nine independent constants. Orthotropic materials have two orthogonal planes of symmetry. In other words, if we rotate the material by 90° about the X-axis or the Y-axis, we obtain the same stress-strain relationships.
Transversely isotropic materials require five independent material constants. Transversely isotropic materials are isotropic in a plane. In other words, rotation by an arbitrary angle about the Z-axis does not change the stress-strain relationship, and the material is isotropic in the XY plane.
Isotropic materials require only two independent material constants. Rotation about the X, Y, or Z-axis by any arbitrary angle results in the same stress-strain relationship.

Field Representative Files Collective Action Lawsuit Against RP Field Services, LLC and National Creditors Connection, Inc.
May 18, 2018 | Business
The Complaint alleges Defendants misclassified field representatives as independent contractors, and, in doing so, denied them overtime and minimum wage compensation
MINNEAPOLIS, MN, May 18, 2018 /24-7PressRelease/ — On May 8, 2018, a field representative for RP Field Services, LLC and National Creditors Connection, Inc. filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Georgia to recover unpaid overtime and minimum wages. RP Field Services provides debt collection services in conjunction with the National Creditors Connection, Inc. by providing workers who personally deliver letters from creditors to debtors, conduct property inspections, and make various other attempts to communicate face-to-face contact with debtors.
The plaintiff filed suit on behalf of herself and other similarly situated field representatives across the country. In the Complaint, she alleges Defendants misclassified field representatives as independent contractors, and, in doing so, denied them overtime and minimum wage compensation. The lawsuit seeks unpaid overtime, minimum wages, and double damages. The plaintiff alleges she was paid by the task performed, and therefore did not receive overtime pay for overtime hours worked, and at times, received less than minimum wage.
Plaintiff's attorney Michele R. Fisher of Nichols Kaster, PLLP explained, "Companies cannot avoid overtime and minimum wage requirements simply by requiring their workers to label themselves as 'independent contractors.' When companies control their workers like employees, rather than giving them the independence of individuals in business for themselves, they must comply with wage and hour laws."
Plaintiffs are represented by Michele R. Fisher of Nichols Kaster, PLLP, which has offices in Minneapolis and San Francisco, and Philip Bohrer and Scott Brady of Bohrer Brady, LLC in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The case is entitled, Elinknan v. RP Field Services, LLC and National Creditors Connection, Inc., Case No. 4:18-cv-00108 (Southern District of Georgia).
Additional information about how field representatives may make a claim in the case may be found at www.nka.com or by calling Nichols Kaster, PLLP toll free at (877) 448-0492.
The firm is led by its partners, who are regularly selected by their peers as Super Lawyers and Best Lawyers, and are leaders in numerous professional organizations, such as the National Employment Lawyers Association, the ABA Federal Labor Standards Legislation Committee, the Practising Law Institute, Minnesota National Employment Lawyers Association, Public Justice, and the Council for the Minnesota State Bar Association's Consumer Litigation Section.

U.P. study shows long-term impact of beaver "engineering"

By ERIC FREEDMAN
LANSING — The North American beaver has been called "the quintessential ecosystem engineer," and any doubters can look at the animal's long-term environmental impact in the Upper Peninsula.
Many of its engineering feats are still evident on the landscape after more than 150 years — longer than such other engineering marvels as the Eiffel Tower, the Mackinac Bridge, the Trans-Siberian Railroad and Toronto's CN Tower have stood.

The proof is visible in the continued existence of dozens of Ishpeming-area beaver ponds first mapped in 1868, according to newly published research.
"This study shows remarkable consistency in beaver pond placement over the last 150 years, despite some land use changes that altered beaver habitats," ecologist Carol Johnston wrote in the study. "This constancy is evidence of the beaver's resilience and a reminder that beaver works have been altering the North American landscape for centuries."
And in an interview, Johnston said a major lesson from the study is that beavers come back to the same spots on the landscape and reuse them time and time again. That means wildlife managers and public lands managers can expect beavers to return.
The U.S. beaver population has gone through periods of boom and bust, being wiped out in many regions of the country in the 1700s and 1800s, but surging back since the 1940s.
There are no precise figures on the number of beaver in the state. The Department of Natural Resources (DNR) reported from survey data that trappers captured 12,179 beaver in 2013.
That was 18 percent fewer than in 2012, a change that the DNR said should be "viewed cautiously because Michigan experienced unseasonably cold temperatures and above-normal snowfall during December 2013 through February 2014."
"Populations have done big swings," said Adam Bump, a furbearer specialist in the DNR Wildlife Division. "We have beaver throughout the state, even in southern Michigan."
Beavers can be trapped with a furharvester's license during open season, and there's no bag limit. Year-round trapping is allowed only for damage control with a DNR permit or by a nuisance control business with a permit, he said.
Bump said, "On the landscape as a whole, beaver provide huge benefits," including creation of wetlands and reducing stream sedimentation.
Professor John Bruggink, a wildlife ecology expert at Northern Michigan University, said, "From the human side, they're regarded often as a nuisance" because the result of dam construction can include flooded roads and other problems.
"From a wildlife viewpoint, they can influence the landscape on a pretty broad scale, probably second only to us. Beaver dams can have long-term effects," said Bruggink, who isn't involved with Johnston's new study.
Johnston, a professor at South Dakota State University, compared an 1868 map prepared by amateur anthropologist and naturalist Lewis Morgan with a series of aerial photos from the 1940s through 2014. Morgan wrote a classic book still valued by experts, "The American Beaver and His Works."
The map shows 64 beaver ponds along streams where he fished between 1855 and 1867, including Carp Creek and Ely Creek. During that time, Morgan was a lawyer for the Marquette and Ontonagon Railroad, she said.
Morgan's map includes rivers, railroads, settlements and mines in an area straddling the drainage divide between lakes Superior and Michigan. And he made the map without the benefits of modern technology such as geographic information systems and digital aerial imagery.
"Beavers were still abundant in the region" at that time, "although the beaver fur trade in Michigan had begun to decline by the late 1830s," Johnston wrote.
The study found physical evidence — called "artifacts" — of 46 of the 64 ponds still visible in 2014. Sixteen remain largely intact, another 16 are beaver meadows and 14 still have shrub wetlands or other surviving bodies of water.
"Beaver dams, ponds and meadows are durable landscape features," the study said.
The 18 ponds that have disappeared since Morgan mapped them were victims of iron mining, stream channelization, forestation and the development of Ishpeming, the study said.
The largest remaining one is a 30-acre pond created by a beaver dam downstream of Grass Lake in Marquette County.
Beavers probably didn't continuously occupy all the sites because they abandon ponds when there's not enough food to forage. However, beavers may repopulate the same places later, it said.
Bruggink, of Northern Michigan University, said one factor in how colonies disappear and reappear is how beavers may leave a pond when a favored type of food, such as aspens, is gone. Sometimes the abandoned pond fills in, transforming the landscape into a beaver meadow that eventually becomes reforested.
As the forest regenerates, trees grow closer to the shore, attracting beavers back.
"They don't like to get super-far from water" for fear of predators, Bruggink said.
Johnston, who's now writing a book about beavers in Northern Minnesota's Voyageurs National Park, acknowledged that the beaver's engineering skills aren't always appreciated.
"There is some anti-beaver sentiment. Beavers do economic damage," she said.
She described a situation at a Lake Ontario-area wetlands where the transportation agency opened up a culvert that beavers had plugged. The beavers then built a semicircular dam around the culvert.
"It's amazing how intuitive they are," she said.
Johnston's article appeared in the journal Wetlands.

New EPA limits will make difference but more may be needed
By ZHAO PENG
LANSING — Stricter new smog limits by the U.S. Environment Protection Agency may improve air quality, but some regions of Michigan have a long way to go to meet it, according to an air quality advocacy group. The EPA this month called for ground-level ozone levels of no more than 70 parts per billion, five parts per billion less than the old standard issued in 2008.
