The Mallard EPR-700 Empty Pallet Return Separator is used to hold back empty pallets until 5-6 are accumulated into a stack, then the stack is released to flow down to an opposite aisle for unloading. It's a handy device for product picked from pallets so that the pallets themselves are safely and minimally handled as well as quickly returned for send-out or replenishment.
Load weights from 278 – 777 lbs.
As the test video shows, the EPR-700 is ideal for holding the pallet in place until it is fully loaded. The pallet is easily released by raising the hand lever that disengages the pallet separator. The lane design allows for a controlled flow down the pallet flow lane to the opposite aisle for efficient processing and pick up by a forklift. The inventory can then be delivered to a loading dock or storage area.
The most challenging part of this test was the pallet condition. The pallets were in very poor condition. The testing lab engineers determined that if the inventory was wrapped with plastic including securing the pallet to the load, then the pallets were more secure and flowed in an acceptable manner. However, plastic wrap isn't a first-choice solution… good, quality pallets are always our first choice. They are safer not only for your workers and your inventory but for your pallet flow system as well.
To offset the poor conditioned pallets, the engineers stacked the inventory lengthwise after determining that the pallets were more stable that way. The addition of drop-in speed controllers mounted in the center pallet flow lane also helped the loads track more evenly and centered down lane which is particularly important for heavier loads.
We always enjoy a challenge that requires our team to look at an application in a new way. This repurposing of the EPR-700 is unique but the team approach to finding a solution… not so much. What is your challenge?

On March 21, 2019, the Roundtable on Population Health Improvement of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine convened a 1-day workshop to explore the broad and multidisciplinary nature of the population health workforce. Workshop participants explored methods for facilitating a population health orientation/perspective among public health and health care leaders and professionals; framing the work of personnel such as community health workers (CHWs), health navigators, and peer-to-peer chronic disease management educators within the context of population health; and leveraging the competencies of public and private sector workforces, such as education, transportation, and planning, that are working to include a "health in all policies," community livability, or well-being orientation in their activities. This publication summarizes the presentations and discussions from the workshop.

Over the holidays, I was watching Gremlins with my 8-year-old nephew. It was my favorite movie as a kid, and I thought he might also enjoy the ridiculous antics of those 12-inch monsters that plague an unsuspecting community on Christmas. It's both scary and hilarious--no matter what age you are. To my surprise, he was more mystified by that weird "black box that goes into the DVD player" (VHS tape) and the mind-boggling "phone on the street" (pay phone). So I spent an entire evening explaining antiquated '80s technology to an 8-year-old. And what I am about to say about marketing "focus groups" feels about the same way.
Back in the day, focus groups were all the rage. You'd get a group of people of a similar demographic in one room and introduce them to a new product--then a moderator would ask them questions and gauge their response. Getting a bunch of (sometimes paid) strangers in a room together and forcing them to answer questions was (and still is) an unnatural process, but it was the best we had before technology arrived. So business owners would shell out the money to conduct these surveys and hope that the results were accurate.
Using the internet, and social media in particular, has given brands a platform to gain consumer insights in a much more organic way. In fact, you don't even need a budget to create an effective (and unknowing!) focus group. Nobody knows that more keenly than Norine Dworkin-McDaniel and Jessica Ziegler, the authors of Science of Parenthood.
Norine, a former journalist, got the big idea for this book project when her son came home from school gabbing about Newton's laws of force and motion. As he was telling her that "an object at rest will remain at rest until acted on by an external force," she thought about how similar that sounded to her son when he was playing video games. She promptly went to her Facebook page and posted: "Newton's First Law of Parenting: A child at rest will remain at rest ... until you need your iPad back."
She got a good chuckle out of her network. So she started posting more of these science-y, snarky parenting observations on Facebook, to a big response. Then it dawned on her that this might make a nice gift book--if it had some awesome illustrations. Luckily, her longtime friend Jessica Ziegler is a great illustrator. The two put their heads together about a book, but realized pretty quickly that the idea was bigger than that. They would call this project Science of Parenthood. Almost instantaneously, they secured a website domain, a Facebook page, and a Twitter handle and began testing out content.
"That turned out to be the best decision we could make, because in doing the blog and social media around it first, we were able to develop our concept of what Science of Parenthood was and grow our audience," says Norine. "Plus, we were able to experiment and learn about what worked and what didn't. And we developed a network of bloggers who not only helped us grow our audience by introducing us to their readers, these very generous bloggers and authors taught us what we didn't know about blogging and publishing so we weren't floundering around in the dark."
The partners spent three years creating a solid blog and a network of fans before they wrote the book. Because of this, they had hundreds of people (namely, parenting bloggers) who wanted to help them and were emotionally invested in their success.
Science of Parenthood: Thoroughly Unscientific Explanations for Utterly Baffling Parenting Situations was published in November 2015 by She Writes Press. The book hit No. 1 on Amazon's hot new parenting humor releases in its first 30 days. Just goes to show how powerful a product can be when its creators know their demographic inside and out.
These two moms operated their project the same way a large company would have--and were successful without the benefit of expensive social listening tools. So if you have a great product and very little budget to start, think about getting creative with social media, as the ladies behind Science of Parenthood did.


Cadmium is a poisonous chemical which in large concentrations can cause respetory problems, kidney failure and the softening of bone material.... Apart from having numerous benefits for the body, it is also one of the best known methods of expelling radiation from the body. Chlorella, in particular, has the ability to neutralize radiation and remove toxins such as cadmium, dioxins and PCBs from the body.
Clearly, of the anthropogenic sources of cadmium, phosphate fertilisers, fossil fuel combustion, and some industrial activities contribute far more to human cadmium exposure than production, use and disposal of cadmium products and incineration of all cadmium-containing materials.

Cadmium is a poisonous chemical which in large concentrations can cause respetory problems, kidney failure and the softening of bone material.
Cadmium, which has numerous industrial uses, is a common heavy metal often used as pigment in makeup. Research shows that cadmium binds to estrogen receptors. In a large-scale study , researchers followed more than 55,000 women for almost 12 years, looking at dietary exposure to cadmium.

Southgate: Collective spirit guides England
Published at 03:03 am July 8th, 2018
England manager Gareth Southgate celebrates following their World Cup quarter-final win over Sweden in Samara Saturday Reuters
Sweden were lauded for their collective spirit heading into their World Cup quarter-final Saturday, however after his side secured a 2-0 win it was England manager Gareth Southgate purring about the togetherness of his young squad.
Entering the tournament with minimal expectation and one of the youngest teams at the World Cup, England surprised many by reaching their third ever World Cup semi-final.
They have done so off the back of a change in attitude, implemented by their 47-year-old coach.
"That collective (spirit) is why we are here," Southgate told reporters.
In an age when we're told we've had enough of experts comes Gareth Southgate with his diligent approach, pragmatism, empathy and understanding.
England may win - they may yet lose - but Southgate has shown a modern, sensible way of dealing with the so-called "impossible job".
— Richard Conway (@richard_conway) July 7, 2018
"To get through the two games this week we needed all of that. We are not the finished article and we do not have world class players yet, but we have young players who are prepared to be brave on the ball and have shown a real mental resilience.
"We have got to this point because our collective is so strong. We played an opponent who has a clear identity and their collectiveness has been too much for us at times in the past."
Before Saturday's win, achieved by goals from Harry Maguire and Dele Alli, England had only beaten Sweden twice in their last 15 meetings.
Many narratives are being rewritten in Southgate's first major tournament since being appointed coach of the senior side in September 2016 after several years coaching England's youth ranks.
Huge congratulations to Gareth Southgate and his team. Another excellent win to make the whole country proud. #ThreeLions #WorldCup18
— Theresa May (@theresa_may) July 7, 2018
Since coming in, the former defender and his team have looked to instil a new philosophy in the players and the coach was quick to credit these changes with England's success in Russia.
"I think we have worked hard at establishing a clear identity," he said.
"We have an outstanding mentality in these players, a humility and recognition of where they were 18 months ago and the work needed to get to here.
"We have got to keep on improving as staff and as players. It isn't about me, it is about the whole group."
Gareth Southgate says it's remarkable England are in a World Cup semi final when only 33% of Premier League players are English: "It's still a huge problem for us"
— Kaveh Solhekol (@SkyKaveh) July 7, 2018
Despite reaching the semi-final, Southgate was keen to stress that his players were still developing.
"We are in the World Cup semi-final. Whether we are in the top four in the world, we still need to prove that," he said.
"We are progressing really well and we do have some good players. They need opportunities to play.
"We have played some players who are very tender years in their careers but we believe in them.
"In years to come they will be even better, but today was an opportunity we didn't want to miss out on."

While a tan may seem aesthetically pleasing on the outside, what's happening just under the skin's surface is anything by pleasant. That golden color is actually a result of an injury occurring to your skin. Continuous sun exposure, particularly sun burns, can take a significant toll on your skin's health and lead to premature aging and sun damage. Sun damage is a form of hyperpigmentation that leaves brown spots on the skin's surface. Sun damage is often confused with melasma, which is another form of hyperpigmentation typically caused by hormonal changes and worsened by sun exposure. When treating any type of hyperpigmentation, it's important to be evaluated by a skin care expert. We offer a number of treatments to improve sun damage.
Microneedling with Infusion delivers serums under the skin to correct a number of skin conditions including sun damage.
Active FX is a fractional Co2 laser that provides an overall resurfacing of the skin's outer layer which helps to lighten or eliminate sun damage spots.
Venus is an Erbium YAG laser which provides improvement to a variety of skin conditions including sun damage.
excel V laser offers three unique laser modes allowing us to treat vascular conditions as well as brown spots, such as sun damage.
Clear + Brilliant is a gentle laser treatment that refreshes skin from the inside out. The Permea hand piece allows us to specifically target hyperpigmentation from sun damage.
Skin Pen II is a Microneedling device that improves many skin imperfections including sun damage.
VI Peel is a chemical peel that offers varying levels depending on your skin type and conditions. The VI Peel and VI Peel Precision Plus both offer excellent options for the improvement of sun damage.
Co2 Lift is a powerful anti-aging facial treatment that provides improvement of sun damage.
HydraFacial M.D. is a relaxing yet corrective treatment that instantly brightens and improves skin, including sun damage. The addition of specialized 'Boosters' allow us to further target hyperpigmentation.

Reversing sun damage is possible. Dr. Mirabile's Overland Park team are experts in sun damage treatment.


Women for Women International gives women survivors of war the tools they need to move from poverty to self-sufficiency. Since opening in Kabul, Afghanistan, in 2002 the organization has provided women with the means to become active members of their communities.
Beyond the 11th's first grant to Women for Women International allowed 100 widows to receive emotional support and training in rights awareness and leadership.
Beyond the 11th's first grant to Women for Women International allowed 100 widows to receive emotional support and training in rights awareness and leadership, as well as educational support, vocational skills, and literacy training. Widows were also offered income generation opportunities like small business development, technical assistance, microcredit loans, and access to local and international markets so they were able to continue to support their families after participation in the program.
As a first step, widows in the program met in small groups twice monthly for a year, facilitated by a staff member trained in women's rights. During these sessions the widows addressed issues they faced daily and discussed their political, economic, legal and personal rights. At the same time, participants developed a support system with other widows in their communities.
Three to five months into the program, graduates chose from a variety of vocational skills training opportunities. Women for Women International staff guided the widows in their choice of viable business opportunities. This training was provided by local instructors with a wide variety of expertise in areas such as jewelry making, carpet weaving, shoemaking, and food processing. The widows were also able to enroll in literacy classes.
The first group of widows supported by this grant graduated on September 15, 2005 and the remaining four groups graduated in January of 2006.
Beyond the 11th's second grant to Women for Women International provided the original 100 widows with expanded opportunities for business plan development, business training, technical assistance in forming the cooperatives, and sustainable income generation during a year-long project.

Q: Python 'module' object has no attribute '_strptime' This error has been arising for quite sometime but doesn't like to appear very frequently, it's time I squashed it.
I see that it appears whenever I have more than a single thread. The applications quite extensive so I'll be posting the code snippet down below.
I'm using the datetime.datetime strptime to format my message into a datetime object. When I use this within a multithreaded function, that error arises on the one thread but works perfectly fine on the other.
The error
Exception in thread Thread-7:

Alright so this is a bit strange as this was called on the first thread but the second thread works completely fine by using datetime.datetime.
Thoughts

*

*Am I overwriting anything? It is Python afterall. Nope, I don't use datetime anywhere.

*I am using inheritance through ABC, how about the parent? Nope, this bug was happening long before and I don't overwrite anything in the parent.

My next go to was thinking "Is is this Python blackmagic with the Datetime module?" in which I decided to time.strptime.

Additional thought

*

*When this error wasn't being thrown, the two threads share a common function as seen called write_to_log_file. Sometimes, an error would occur where when the write_to_log_file was checking if the OS has a specific directory, it would return False even though it was there. Could this be something with Python and accessing the same function at the same time, even for outside modules? The error was never consistent as well.

Overall, this error won't arise when only running a single thread/connection.

Distribution is critical for every startup. It's all too common for a startup with a great product to fail due to lack of distribution.
If your business model is designed to rely on distribution partners to deliver your product to the market and you don't have experience building and managing a distribution channel, then take the time to properly prepare for this task; your startup's success may depend on it.
The reality of startup life is that most things don't go according to plan. And that means entrepreneurs shouldn't pin their company's hopes on a single distribution partner. The smart move is to create a plan to target multiple distribution partners in multiple areas.
Most products can be delivered through multiple channel types. Betting on one type of channel is extremely risky. Even if you land a partner, you may not be able to control their performance.
Before you start contacting your target companies, think about the key criteria you're looking for. For example, if you're selling software and you're going to sell to VARs, you will need to find VARs with the kind of expertise and customer base that enables reps to quickly get your product to the end-users who need it.
Next, think about your ideal channel partner in each category. Don't list the brand names just yet. Focus on a general description. This will help you objectively evaluate different options (and potential investors will prefer to hear this over naming a specific brand).
What kind of customers does this company need to have?
What kind of skills and experience will the company need to have to sell this product?
What kind of geographical territory does the company need to serve?
Are there any quantitative criteria such as the size of the company, the number of locations, the number of sales reps, the number of customers they have, or the number of years they've been in business?
Finally, it's time to begin creating your list. Review each ideal partner description and list all potential companies that fit the criteria by category.
It's a good idea to have another person assist you to cover all bases. You may be surprised at what you find.
If your list is long, treat your distribution partner search like a marketing campaign. Even if it's short, practice your pitch diligently. You may only get one chance.
As you're designing your pitch, remember to focus on the needs of the company you're pitching.
What's your message to the potential partner? What are the key benefits of working with you?
What are the benefits to the partner's end-customers?
What kind of marketing support will you provide?
What type of inventory are you able to provide if they're interested?
Be sure you have a solid presentation prepared, including a product presentation, a slide demo and any relevant facts about your market and your product. You have only one chance to make an impression!
We'll cover distribution channel management in a future post.


The Renault Captur came under scrutiny during a French government investigation sparked by VW's admission it cheated on emissions tests.
PARIS -- France's Environment Ministry denied it had omitted key elements concerning some Renault cars in a report on vehicle pollution it commissioned following the Volkswagen emissions-rigging scandal.
The Financial Times reported on Aug. 22 that three members of the French commission said the report did not include full details of their findings, including some discrepancies in Renault's Captur subcompact SUV.
The members also suggested the government might have been soft on Renault because of its 20 percent stake in the carmaker.
"The ministry wishes to formally deny Financial Times' affirmations in the story on the commission's report on car emissions," it said in a statement. "France is the only country that has set up an open and independent commission following revelations in the Volkswagen case, and tested all car brands in the French market," it said.
In January Renault recalled 15,800 Capturs to fix pollution-control systems. The automaker also offered voluntary emissions-system updates for about 700,000 vehicles with the latest Euro 6 generation of diesel engines.
Renault reiterated on Wednesday that it strictly complied with regulations and its cars were not equipped with emissions falsifying software. The company it had sent all required technical explanations to the French commission and other authorities carrying out similar investigations.
France's environmental regulator began randomly testing vehicles to check differences between lab results and real-world emissions after the Volkswagen scandal erupted. French officials said in April that some cars it tested had higher CO2 and NOx emissions on the road than in laboratory tests but found no "cheat" devices.
The Environment Ministry said on Wednesday it has published results of all 86 vehicles that have been tested. It said the state body in charge of competition, consumer affairs and fraud has launched an investigation into all anomalies detected during the tests.

In January fraud investigators inspected three Renault sites as part of the emissions probe. In April PSA Group offices were also raided by investigators.

Carriera
Ala destra fra le migliori della sua generazione, esordì giovanissimo nelle file dell'MTK e vi rimase fino al 1928, vivendo da protagonista l'epoca d'oro del club. Infatti dal suo esordio fino al 1925 la squadra vinse ogni anno il campionato ungheresi, per un totale di 9 titoli di campione d'Ungheria ottenuti in carriera. Ad essi si sommarono anche due Coppe nazionali, vinte nel 1923 e nel 1925.

La sua carriera fu però tormentata dagli infortuni, che la accorciarono notevolmente, il primo dei quali subito già a vent'anni nel 1921. Giocò la sua ultima partita in Nazionale a soli venticinque anni, ed un paio di anni dopo lasciò l'MTK per andare a disputare le ultime stagioni della sua carriera in America.

Allenò poi in Slovacchia (nazione che dovette lasciare quando il clima di antisemitismo peggiorò con l'avvicinarsi della Seconda guerra mondiale) ed in patria. Fu una delle vittime della Shoah, morendo nel 1943 in un campo di concentramento in Ucraina.

Students walked the area around the school. The next activity is mapping the community with paper and digital maps. It is an important activity for our students to expand their view of the world and make connections to it.
This project will , raise money to donate to research groups to further their studies to attempt to stop this from growing. And to get the word out to the community about the harmfulness to themselves and the animals of the lake, with the water conditions and quality of it.
My art service learning group at Poudre Community Academy partnered with Wildlands Restoration and Bohemian Foundation's GiveNext program to provide a creative outlet to people of all ages that promotes the arts and create a "Need for Seed Garden" in our school yard for us to build, design, grow and give. The purpose of the garden is to help supply Wildlands Restoration with our seeds from Colorado native drought resistance plants to help re-seed area lands destroyed by flooding and wild fires.
Our Gr. 4 project is three parts 1) working with a buddy class to provide information and structures to educate the community about our Aspen Forest habitat. 2) To build structures to encourage wildlife eg) songbirds back to the forest. 3) To complete a plant project from seedling to supper to educate our parents/community about the findings and discoveries we have had within the Aspen Forest Habitat & plant life that we have learned about while providing a fundraising supper to support future projects regarding our Outdoor Classroom.
The very first step of this campaign will be to document various frog species around you. This is very simple. Just click the picture of the frog that you spot and upload it to our online Facebook group called 'Frogs of Manipal'. Go to your facebook profile and type 'Frogs of Manipal'. Join the group and share. Add species name (if known), time and location. It will be an added benefit to count the number of frogs seen. Don't forget to use the hashtag #NotJustFrogs and share it with your friends. You could also use the hashtag and upload it on your twitter and instagram profiles. Next time share this fun activity with your friends and get them to love frogs, if not love just get them to join the group.
Our communities in the Highlands are coming together to raise awareness of an urgent issue, which not only threatens a specially protected habitat of an important bottlenose dolphin population, but is also threatening the endangered harbour porpoises and marine life as well as local bird colonies. In the area of highest density of our beloved dolphins (which attract thousands of tourists each year)- a proposal has been made to allow ship to ship oil transfers. Not only has this application been shown to lack any economic gain to our community, it has also been criticised by over a dozen experts and environmental bodies. In spite of heavy criticism from leading ecology experts and concerned bodies the application is still being pursued. Our community council held a meeting and the vote was unanimous against the proposals to allow this. We also instructed experts in the oil industry to review the reports and surveys and found the risk assessments to be flawed and grossly underestimating the impact on the dolphin families of the Cromarty and Moray Firths. Let alone the extensive impact on our local bird colonies and other wildlife, such as a humpback whale "Humpy"- spotted just yesterday at the very site of the suggested oil-transfers. With the UK government already under attack from EU courts over its failure to properly protect our marine mammals (especially harbour porpoise)- we as a community feel we must hold them accountable for the protection of these special creatures. We feel privileged to be able to walk just minutes from our homes at almost any day of the year and see the dolphins playing and interacting close to the shore. Everyone who has been here on holiday and witnessed it, feels how special that is. People come here on holiday, year after year to see them again. We really feel that the dolphins especially are our friends, and in fact their presence has brought an estimated £270million annually to our local economy through direct tourism and ecotourism. That's something we feel gives them a right to remain safe in their preferred habitat. The dolphins dont have a voice, so we want to give them one! We are fundraising and educating people locally about the plans so that we can rise together as a community to challenge this unnecessary threat to their environment. We hope to protect their home and ensure they are here for many generations to feel the special connection with them. We hope that we will win our plight to choose Nature over Profit.


"Only systemic and solidary pressure will make Russia pay attention to international law"
Ukraine asks the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) to provide defensive lethal weapons, Deputy Prime Minister for European and Euro-Atlantic Integration Ivan Klimpush-Tsintsadze said on Monday, 3 July. "We are asking for defensive lethal weapons to protect ourselves, our land, in order to do it more effectively, so that there are fewer military losses, so that there are fewer civilian losses," Klimpush-Tsintsadze said.
She stressed the need for such weapons to counter Russian aggression.
The vice-premier added that only systemic and solidary pressure could draw Russia's attention to international law.
Earlier, head of the Foreign Affairs Committee Hanna Hopko has said in a LB.ua interview that there is a high probability that the US will provide Ukraine with lethal weapons. She noted that the administration of President Donald Trump "wants to demonstrate that they are with us not just in words."
In 2014 and 2015, the US has refrained from providing Ukraine with lethal weapons as the White House felt that this could "spur" Russia to escalating the conflict.


(CBS/KCBS) LOS ANGELES - San Diego police are now investigating Los Angeles Lakers' star Kobe Bryant after he allegedly injured a man at a Southland church.
Bryant allegedly grabbed a man's wrist and cell phone at a service in St. Therese of Carmel in San Diego Sunday, reports CBS station KCBS.
Bryant was attending a church service when he thought someone was taking pictures of him with a cellphone, according to broadcast reports. Police said that Bryant immediately snatched the phone from the man. But when the NBA All-star saw no pictures on it, he left the church.
The alleged victim claims he had to go to the hospital to treat a wrist injury, according to KCBS.
No charges have been filed against Bryant.

Bryan Kays
Winemaker, Trefethen Family Vineyards
Bryan obtained an undergraduate degree in English Literature from Cal Poly, SLO. Like any good English major, Bryan found refuge in wine, and quickly developed a healthy interest in the subject.
Bryan began his wine career as a field worker/cellar rat in the Sierra Foothills. After a couple of vintages and thousands of questions to the winemaker, Bryan returned to UC Davis to earn a degree in Viticulture and Enology.
Bryan joined Trefethen in 2006 as a Viticulture intern. Fascinated with estate grown wines and the opportunity to work with some of the valley's long-term residents, Bryan worked his way into the cellar then to Associate Winemaker. In 2015, he was promoted to Winemaker.
Bryan's goal is to create wines that are balanced and true to type. The winemake's two most critical decisions for any given wine are harvest date and press date. When those two decisions are perfectly timed, the winemaker's job is then to simply let each wine develop its own flavors and nuances, and keep his/her hands out of it. Winemaking is as much about action as it is about restraint.

It's official! Producer Jerry Bruckheimer recently confirmed the sequel to the 1986 hit movie, Top Gun. The film, tentatively titled Top Gun: Maverick, will head back into the danger zone for a July 12, 2019 theatrical release.
But will Top Gun: Maverick live up to the original? Here are 4 possible storylines for the Top Gun follow-up, and we think they may just be good enough to avoid the dreaded sequel curse. Hollywood, are you listening?
When Riley's conniving causes Maverick's wife Charlie to lose her job, Maverick is furious, but his hands are tied as a national security crisis mounts. In the thick of the crisis, Ava attempts a risky flight on her own and gets in trouble. Riley realizes he cares for her, and he gets aboard Maverick's aircraft as they attempt a daring rescue. When it looks like the two won't make it out alive, Riley reveals his truth: he is the son of the deceased "Goose" Bradshaw (he changed his surname when his mother remarried) and always resented Maverick and Top Gun for "taking" his real father. They rescue Ava by a hair, but she is badly hurt. In the chaos, Maverick is incapacitated and Riley must land the aircraft on his own, which he miraculously does. In the end, with the crisis successfully averted, Maverick awards Riley with a nickname of his own, and there is the suggestion that Riley and Ava will be together.
Maverick (Tom Cruise) feels like the world is slipping away from him. The camaraderie and devil-may-care spirit that characterized the Top Gun Maverick once knew has gone. People with strictly by-the-book technical knowledge are in charge now, and they insist on populating Miramar with a slick new aircraft model. Maverick doesn't trust the new model, but no one listens to him.
Matters worsen when he runs into his old flame, Charlie Blackwood–now Charlotte Bruner. Their paths diverged years ago, and Maverick learns that Charlotte married Steven Bruner, a bullish, high-ranking naval officer. She gave up her career to be his housewife and raise their daughter, Frances "Frankie" Bruner. Maverick is stunned that the bright, inimitable "Charlie" has assimilated into a clique of prim, social-climbing military/politician wives. But to the Bruners' chagrin, Maverick and Frankie bond immediately. Maverick takes Frankie on joyrides in his old aircraft, and Frankie dreams of becoming a Top Gun instructor like him. Charlotte is upset at first, but her daughter's joy is contagious, and she begins to warm to Maverick.
But just as the two are becoming friends again, one of the socialite wives (who secretly covets Bruner) convinces Bruner that his wife is cheating with Maverick. One day, when Maverick is in the air with Frankie, a bloodthirsty Bruner sends him on a bogus "emergency mission" that will direct him right into an oncoming hurricane–not knowing his daughter is in the aircraft too. When Charlotte realizes what's happening, she becomes frantic. She reignites her old flight instincts and takes off in one of the new aircrafts. But just as Maverick predicted, the new model is untrustworthy, and soon it is Maverick who must save Charlotte–with Frankie by his side. They rescue her by the skin of their teeth.
In the end, Bruner tries to humiliate his wife in front of their stuffy social circle, but Charlotte proclaims that she is "Charlie" again and rides off into the sunset with Maverick and Frankie.
"Top Gun Maverick" has become something of a celebrity at Miramar, where he is still an instructor. But Maverick's new boss, Sarah Gear, worries that he has become too big for his britches, and that his star power is usurping the solemn purpose of the school. Gear assigns him to training a motley crew of young, inexperienced pilots with questionable records. Their squad will challenge a squad of Miramar's top flyers in a pre-graduation competition. The odds don't look good. The pilots in Maverick's squad each have their own personal demons, and they don't get along at all.
There's pretentious legacy pilot Michael "Swing" Julius, rebellious Shay "Duckie" Ramirez, and Eric "Circus" Hobbs, a class clown type. Alex "Freshamn" Yang is quiet but tough as nails and gets into fights. Nina "Phase" Lewis is a strong leader and fiercely competitive. Slowly but surely, Maverick's charisma and expertise helps the ragtag group bond and increase their flying skills. They choose their nicknames, which cements the feeling of being part of something important, a new sensation for most of the group. Maverick himself feels renewed purpose as a pilot and instructor. But he gets over-confident and takes the group on a dangerous exercise where Circus gets injured as he barely escapes dying. Maverick flashes back to Goose's death and loses confidence in his abilities as an instructor. Sarah Gear feels vindicated and fires Maverick. But then Circus recovers and the squad defeats the elites in the exciting year-end competition, so Maverick is reinstated in a blaze of glory.
"Maverick" Mitchell (Tom Cruise) has settled into a comfortable life at Miramar. Over the years, he rose through the ranks of instructors, and now he basically runs the whole operation from behind a desk. And he's at peace with it…until he encounters Logan "Stick" Bradshaw, a prodigious young pilot who earned his nickname for having a stick up his rear end. Maverick learns that Stick is the son of his late friend Goose Bradshaw. Though Stick's fellow pilots find him stuffy and tease him behind his back, Maverick suspects that Stick's cautiousness comes from a fear of dying like his father did. So Maverick breaks free from his desk on a mission to teach Stick the true thrills of flight–and maybe help him find love along the way.

Toccata Classics claims this to be the first recording devoted to piano music by the Czech-born Viennese composer Egon Kornauth (1891-1959). Judging from most of the works here, we haven't missed much. By and large, his keyboard style is compulsively chromatic, texturally padded, melodically unmemorable, and sounds vaguely like Korngold–or, more accurately, like vague Korngold.
As an example of how Kornauth tends to wreck good ideas, go to the Intermezzo of the Fünf Klavierstücke Op. 44 from 1940. It opens with a descending unaccompanied line that promises to lead to an interesting destination. Yet once the accompaniment kicks in, the theme immediately loses its point and distinction, as the padding takes over and the composing goes on autopilot. The Waltz from the Kleine Suite also typifies how a strong Kornauth motive dissipates due to relentless modulations that distract more than they divert. The large-scale Phantasie Op. 10 resembles the Alban Berg Sonata's clear forms and sharply contoured lines after they've been inflated with hot air and then exploded onto manuscript paper.
To be fair, Kornauth comes into focus when he straightjackets himself. Take the 1939 Präludium und Passacaglia Op. 43. The Prelude opens with a somber arpeggiated gesture in the lowest register that slowly unfolds as it ascends up the keyboard. A bass pedal-point reinforces the first climax, from which impassioned and fluid counterpoint flow into a full-bodied, unabashedly sentimental section that would do any late-1930s Hollywood film score proud. Similarly, the following Passacaglia's formal parameters help anchor the music's Franck-meets-Fauré-meets-Pfitzner-meets-Siegfried Wagner-meets-Medtner-edited by-Korngold twists and turns.

New Delhi,May 31, 2017 : The Union Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Development of North Eastern Region (DoNER), MoS PMO, Personnel, Public Grievances, Pensions, Atomic Energy and Space, Dr Jitendra Singh has proposed PPP (Public-Private Participation) model to supplement and extend healthcare services up to district level in the eight States of the North-Eastern Region (NER).
Dr Jitendra Singh was presiding over a Conclave of Health Ministers from all the eight North-Eastern States in Guwahati today. The meeting, among others, was also attended by representatives from the premier Adayar Cancer Institute, Chennai, Patanjali and Yog Sansthan Bengaluru.
Giving a resume of the last three years of health related initiatives undertaken by the Ministry of DoNER, Dr Jitendra Singh disclosed that Dr Barooah Cancer Institute, Guwahati has been affiliated with the Tata Memorial Cancer Centre, Mumbai, since last year under the aegis of Department of Atomic Energy, as a result of which, the faculty and the supplementary teaching cum clinical services will get upgraded. From last year, he said, super-specialty MCh course in Cancer Surgery has already started and hopefully from this session, super-specialty DM Cancer Medicine will also start.
Dr Jitendra Singh acknowledged the collaboration from Adayar Cancer Institute, Chennai in imparting a 6-month training to one Physician and one Surgeon each from each of the eight North-Eastern States, so that they can go back and offer better healthcare in their respective States, considering the high prevalence of cancer in the region.
Dr Jitendra Singh said, the Ministry of DoNER, with the consensus of all the State Governments, will go forward in inviting the interested private healthcare partners from other parts of the country, so that depending upon their capacity and capability, they may be able to supplement the health services in the region. The impetus to healthcare services, he said, will be wholesome and holistic, thus also imbibing all the alternative systems of medicine and in this regard, the leading players like Patanjali could have a significant contribution to make.
Referring to a proposal from the Assam Government for setting up a modern Cancer Hospital with the collaboration of the Ministry of DoNER, Dr Jitendra Singh said, the officers in the DoNER Ministry are engaged in deliberations with the State Health Secretariat officers to work out its feasibility and viability.
In the field of tele-medicine also, Dr Jitendra Singh said, the Ministry of DoNER will try to facilitate support and help from private sector so that the people living in the remotest areas of the difficult terrain are not deprived of the benefit of specialized medical consultation.
Referring to a suggestion which originated after discussion with the Government of Manipur, Dr Jitendra Singh said, the concept of having "Air Clinics" with helicopter-based outdoor facility has been mooted with both the Ministry of Health as well as the Ministry of Civil Aviation. If successful, he said, this could be a boon for a large section of population which has no access to health centre or medical clinician.
Dr Jitendra Singh also disclosed that considering the proactive approach of the DoNER Ministry and the high priority accorded to Northeast by the Central Government, a number of private corporate sector hospital chains are coming forward to venture in the Northeast. He said, he would seek the help of Ministry of Health and other related Ministries to consider these cases on the principle of mutual benefit.
The meeting was coordinated by Health Minister of Assam, Shri Himanta Biswa Sarma and the Health Ministers from the other States also offered their inputs. It was decided to carry forward this initiative through regular deliberations at the level of the officers of the Ministry of DoNER and those of the Health Departments of the different States as well as the representatives of private sector.

Facebook.com/AndrewDavidWeber
Grab 'The Voice of Experience' here »
With continually pushing music from all around the world, it's not every day that we have the pleasure to feature music from our own back yard right here in West Bend, Wisconsin. So, it's a pleasure to tell you a little something about our very own Andrew David Weber. This man is a musician through and through. He plays countless instruments, has played in various positions, of various bands, in various genres throughout the years. Ranging from Acoustic, to Metal, to a Celtic Punk-Rock band. Andrew lives and breathes music, has toured the country playing it and has been working very hard on his new album.
With all he must to have learned throughout the years, tours and bands, I can think of no more fitting album name than 'The Voice of Experience'. You can hear all of this experience drip from every note. The background acoustic strumming, the electric guitar humming, the piano playing and Andrew singing, combined with the experience of countless songs written, come together to create a quintessential Andrew David Weber sound.
This 12 track 'The Voice of Experience' album takes you on a journey throughout various genres, styles and instruments, all of which Andrew is proficient in. It's interesting to hear 'The Loaded Gun' on this new album, as I first heard it, as a stripped down version first uploaded onto MuzicNotez years ago, featuring just Andrew and his Acoustic guitar. Now, hearing the full production new release of 'The Loaded Gun', exactly the way Andrew dreamed it up years ago, goes to show the years of experience that have bleed into this album.
You can enjoy it via Spotify below, have it to keep from CDBaby here and on all other major sources.

I used to beat up kids and bite kids and do stuff all the time.
I had this urge to play the game of football, because so many people - I shouldn't say so many, a handful of people - said I couldn't do it. For me, it was one of those things that I just believe in my talent that the Lord gave me, and I wanted to take advantage of it.
I try to do something physical every day. I don't go heavy every day, though.
I'm a big pasta guy, but I've cut it out to stay fast and lean.
Since I was in high school, I wanted to play professional football and professional baseball, be a two-sport star.
Being a quarterback, the way I believe is there's always so much room to improve. Any little detail. I always cut up the film and try to watch what I can improve on, whatever little detail it is.
To be efficient with the football in practice and on the game field obviously is the most important thing, but be efficient with the football, make smart decisions, be great on third downs, be great in the red zone, when the game's on the line in the fourth quarter - that's what I love.


Need uncommon idea to re-decorate your house? Love something 'dirty' and shabby to your house? Sometimes, few of people like to be different in look (lifestyle) and this indirectly affects their life. About the way they decorate their living space is just one aspect definitely brought by their way of thinking. The idea of dirty & shabby interior decoration, for instance, are well-implemented and be best alternative after the clean look and minimalist seem so boring (and yes, some people say this). There are so many ways to make your interior 'dirty' and old-look; one of them is on wall treat option. Exposed bricks, raw concrete finishes, or even worn out wood panels are just few wall treats that can make the interior beautifully antique, dirty, and shabby. Well, to make you inspired about this, let's check these ten 'dirty' interior ideas.
Half bare concrete, half bricks – the walls display a clear-bordered wall background for the mid-century modern furniture set. As if we've been in different setting.
We see the hard texture on wall, creating a sense of heavy look in this living room. It's artsy. Modern minimalist furniture with fun yellow here indirectly gives different look to this space.
Looks like unfinished interior but it's artful. The designer here doesn't add raw furniture set. By contrast, he features this interior with mix modern and antique interior pieces like modern sofa and antique fireplace.
Worn out wood plank walls, for some people, are the art. Like this wall panel, more revealed parts of wood panels mean better. Worn out chair seems perfect as the wall's partner, displaying the same finish and concept.
Raw concrete (without finish) is always adorable especially for industrial concept; but we've found a farmhouse touch (the sink), proving that industrial & farmhouse can work perfectly.
Crisp white walls with a worn out & exposed bricks for the accents. It's interesting when we've discovered two opposite things are implemented in one frame. Like this one, the clean lines and modern furniture set (and of course the accessories) are becoming the primary interior pieces with something worn out at behind.
Shabby rainbow schemes, we named this wall color. The color schemes are actually pastels but they are executed in shabbier look. Still charming.
Visually, the walls are clean look. We just see a bit of texture on surface. Unlike the previous ideas, this space clearly showcases the 'dirty' and old-look stuffs.
Based on texture, it's clean, but the color makes it shabbier. The surface also highlights the natural stains commonly found in old wooden material.
Brutal – we named it. Brutal style commonly involves heavy materials like metals, stones, and even cements for interior facade.


"An insightful meditation on the curious nature of time…A highly illuminating intellectual investigation" (Kirkus Reviews) explaining the sometimes contradictory ways we experience time. "Time" is the most commonly used noun in the English language; it's always on our minds and it advances through every living moment. But what is time, exactly? Do children experience it the same way adults do? Why does it seem to slow down when we're bored and speed by as we get older? How and why does time fly? "Erudite and informative, a joy with many small treasures" (Science), this witty and meditative exploration by award-winning author and New Yorker staff writer Alan Burdick—"one of the finest science writers at work today, with an uncanny ability to explain knotty topics, with humanity, and humor" (Publishers Weekly, staff pick, best books of 2016)—takes readers on a personal quest to understand how time gets in us and why we perceive it the way we do. In the company of scientists, he visits the most accurate clock in the world (which exists only on paper); discovers that "now" actually happened a split-second ago; finds a twenty-fifth hour in the day; lives in the Arctic to lose all sense of time; and, for one fleeting moment in a neuroscientist's lab, even makes time go backward. "Why Time Flies captures us. Because it opens up a well of fascinating queries and gives us a glimpse of what has become an ever more deepening mystery for humans: the nature of time" (The New York Times Book Review). This "intellectual adventure renders a hefty topic accessible to the general public" (Richmond Times-Dispatch), is an instant classic, a vivid and intimate examination of the clocks that tick inside us all.

Q: Passing variables from one function to another trouble (C++) I seem to be having trouble with passing variables from one function to another. My main class looks like this :
class EmployeeClass {
public:
    void ImplementCalculations(string EmployeeName, double hours, double wage);
    void DisplayEmployeeInformation();
    void Addsomethingup (EmployeeClass, EmployeeClass, EmployeeClass);
    string EmployeeName;
    double hours;
    double wage;
    double basepay;
    double overtime_hours;
    double overtime_pay ;
    double overtime_extra ;
    double iTotal_salaries ;
    double iIndividualSalary;
    double iTotal_hours ;
    double iTotal_OvertimeHours;
};

I am passing a string and two doubles to the function "ImplementCalculations" as shown here:
Employee1.ImplementCalculations (Employee1.EmployeeName, Employee1.hours, Employee1.wage);
    Employee2.ImplementCalculations (Employee2.EmployeeName, Employee2.hours, Employee2.wage);
    Employee3.ImplementCalculations (Employee3.EmployeeName, Employee3.hours, Employee3.wage);

These passed variables have some math done to them:
void EmployeeClass::ImplementCalculations (string EmployeeName, double hours, double wage) {
    //Initialize overtime variables
    double overtime_hours=0;
    double overtime_pay=0;
    double overtime_extra=0;
    double basepay = 0;
    double iIndividualSalary = 0;

    if (hours > 40)
    {
        basepay = 40 * wage;
        overtime_hours = hours - 40;
        overtime_pay = wage * 1.5;
        overtime_extra = overtime_hours * overtime_pay;
        iIndividualSalary = overtime_extra + basepay;

        /*
        Implement function call to output the employee information.  Function is defined below.
        */
        DisplayEmployeeInformation ();

    }   // if (hours <= 40)
    else
    {
        basepay = hours * wage;
        overtime_hours=0;
        overtime_extra=0;
        iIndividualSalary = basepay;
        /*
        Implement function call to output the employee information.  Function is defined below.
        */
        DisplayEmployeeInformation();

    }; // End of the else

However this is where things go sour. I think that because I am not passing DisplayEmployeeInformation anything it doesn't want to work, which also makes it so that AddSomethingUp doesn't work as well.
void EmployeeClass::DisplayEmployeeInformation () {
    // This function displays all the employee output information.

    cout << "Employee Name ............. = " << EmployeeName << endl;
    cout << "Base Pay .................. = " << setprecision(5)<< basepay << endl;
    cout << "Hours in Overtime ......... = " << setprecision(4)<< overtime_hours << endl;
    cout << "Overtime Pay Amount........ = " << setprecision(5)<< overtime_pay << endl;
    cout << "Total Pay ................. = " << setprecision(6)<< iIndividualSalary << endl;

} // END OF Display Employee Information

void EmployeeClass::Addsomethingup (EmployeeClass Employee1, EmployeeClass Employee2, EmployeeClass Employee3){
    /*
    Adds the total hours for objects 1, 2, and 3.
    Adds the salaries for each object.
    Adds the total overtime hours.
    */
    iTotal_hours = Employee1.hours + Employee2.hours + Employee3.hours;
    iTotal_salaries = Employee1.iIndividualSalary + Employee2.iIndividualSalary + Employee3.iIndividualSalary;
    iTotal_OvertimeHours = Employee1.overtime_hours + Employee2.overtime_hours + Employee3.overtime_hours;

    cout << "%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%" << endl;
    cout << "%%%% EMPLOYEE SUMMARY DATA%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%" << endl;
    cout << "%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%" << endl;
    cout << "%%%% Total Employee Salaries ..... = " << setprecision(6)<<iTotal_salaries <<endl;
    cout << "%%%% Total Employee Hours ........ = " << setprecision(5)<<iTotal_hours << endl;
    cout << "%%%% Total Overtime Hours......... = " << setprecision(5)<<iTotal_OvertimeHours << endl;
    cout << "%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%" << endl;
    cout << "%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%" << endl;

} // End of function

The one line in AddSomethingUp that works is the iTotal_hours. No idea why it gets that, but it is the only thing it gets.
So my question is do I have to pass DisplayEmployeeInformation some sort of variables? What should that look like? More like passing the information to ImplementCalculations?

A: EmployeeClass has a number of member variables such as: hours, overtime_hours and others.
The ImplementCalculations function declares a bunch of local variables right at the start with the exact same name. It also has parameters with the exact same name.
I assume that in the start of ImplementCalculations you don't wish to declare new variables but rather set the values for the ones in the class:
void EmployeeClass::ImplementCalculations (string EmployeeName, double hours, double wage) {
    //Initialize overtime variables
    overtime_hours=0;
    overtime_pay=0;
    overtime_extra=0;
    basepay = 0;
    iIndividualSalary = 0;
    ... (other code here) ...

Also consider renaming the parameter variables to something like p_EmployeeName and p_hours (etc) so they don't clash with the member variable names in your class.

A: While it is not 100% clear what your problem is, it is very likely that the cause of it is the fact that you are not using references.
For example, take this function:
void Addsomethingup (EmployeeClass Employee1);

This creates a copy of Employee1, which is thrown away when the function is left. The original object which you pass into the function is not touched and remains the same.
You might try this:
void Addsomethingup (EmployeeClass &Employee1);

You can also pass const references as an alternative to useless copying if you don't intend to modify the object:
void Addsomethingup (EmployeeClass const &Employee1);

In fact, you should do so for your std::string arguments (although C++11 may be kind of a game changer here, but you better consult Google for this, or else it becomes too off-topic for this question). And you probably need to read a good C++ book. References are a pretty basic language feature.
If you come from a Java background, don't be confused by the word "reference". A "reference" in Java is more a like a pointer in C++, whereas C++ references do not have a Java counterpart.

Mothercare rescues UK presence with Boots supply deal
Mothercare Plc said on Friday it had agreed to supply baby care and other products exclusively to Boots UK stores, keeping its goods on British shelves after the collapse of its retail network in its home market.
Shares in the company, which called in administrators for its UK business last month and is set to close all of its British stores with the loss of at least 2,500 jobs, jumped 10.4% to 14.9 pence in response to the news.
Boots, owned by U.S.-based Walgreens Boots Alliance , will sell Mothercare-branded clothing, home and travel products, pushchairs and car seats, in larger Boots stores across the UK as well as online.
Mothercare said the deal was "great news" after a grim year for the company.
The baby products retailer that operates 1,010 overseas franchise stores has fallen victim to extremely difficult conditions in Britain because of stiff competition from online retailers and rising costs.
The company has said it will now focus abroad as it sets out to return the rest of the group to profitability.
But it warned earlier this week that volatility in markets including India, Indonesia and Russia, and supply disruptions from the UK closures could see trading performance worsen further.
A limited range of Mothercare products will be available to buy online at Boots from mid-2020, and a wider range will be available from late summer 2020.
