For seven months, Nancy Markham's now ex-boyfriend visited violence on her in her apartment in Surprise, Arizona. "He choked me, punched me, threatened me with weapons," she said on a call with press on Thursday. She repeatedly called the police for protection, but when he didn't flee and evade them he was often simply released.
Instead, Markham found that she was the one who ended up punished. In September of last year, her property manager told her that she had to leave her apartment. When she asked why, she was told it was because she had called the police too many times. She quickly found out that Surprise has a so-called nuisance ordinance that penalizes landlords with potential revocation of their license or other measures if there are four calls to police in 30 days at a given property, or two or more criminal activities at any time. To avoid penalties, landlords almost always simply evict the tenant that has been deemed a nuisance.
"Nobody should have to face the impossible choice between her safety and her home," she concluded, her voice breaking slightly.
A lawsuit is trying to make sure that wish becomes a reality. On Thursday, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and the law firm Aiken Schenk filed a suit in federal court against the town of Surprise, Arizona, claiming the ordinance violated Markham's constitutional rights, including the First Amendment right of petition to contact governmental entities. Surprise has not yet responded to the lawsuit.
But the problem isn't limited to Arizona. Ordinances like the one in Surprise exist in all regions of the country. There is no official count of how many there are, although advocates believe they are incredibly widespread. "We've documented hundreds," Sandra Park, senior staff attorney at the ACLU's women's rights project, told ThinkProgress. "It's safe to say they're in the thousands." Part of what makes them so tricky is that they are hyper-local, passed by councils in small towns and cities, and can go by a variety of different names. But they keep coming. "We hear about them being proposed in states all the time," Park said.
One particular lawsuit over an ordinance in Norristown, Pennsylvania gained widespread attention. It was filed by the ACLU on behalf of Lakisha Briggs, a survivor of abuse. Briggs had already been given three strikes in 2012 for calling the police under the town's ordinance, two of which were due to the violence visited on her by her boyfriend. So when her boyfriend showed up another time and assaulted her in her apartment, leaving her with a four-inch wound in her neck, she refused to call the police for fear of eviction. Even so, a neighbor called and she was taken to the hospital, only to be told by her landlord three days later that she had ten days to vacate her apartment.
It's like saying if somebody gets burglarized they're going to be kicked out of their house.
Briggs won a $495,000 settlement last year. The town also repealed its ordinance and promised not to pass any others.
But her story is instructive of what happens to many victims who live under these ordinances. "Sometimes [victims] refrain from calling the police for fear of eviction, sometimes they'll just be evicted," explained Kim Gandy, president and CEO of the National Network to End Domestic Violence (NNEDV).
If she loses it and can't find a new place quickly, she may simply end up homeless given how little emergency shelter is available. In its most recent annual census, NNEDV reported that more than 4,300 people seeking emergency shelter are turned away from domestic shelters and organizations because of a lack of space on a given day. On top of that, 79 programs had to reduce or eliminate transitional housing over the last year and 122 cut back on help putting people in motels or hotels. Nearly 40 percent of domestic violence victims will experience homelessness at some point in their lives.
Some states are taking action to change course on ordinances that put victims at risk of eviction, however. Late last week, Illinois Gov. Bruce Rauner (R) signed a unanimously passed law that bans cities and towns in the state from passing ordinances that punish landlords and tenants for making calls to the police in response to domestic and sexual violence or on behalf of someone with disabilities. "This ordinance will go a long way, we hope, toward protecting people," said Lorie Chaiten, director of the reproductive rights project at the ACLU of Illinois, which helped work on the passage of the bill.
Illinois's new law comes after Pennsylvania passed a similar law late last year. As of 2013, 25 states and DC had laws that could theoretically protect a victim of domestic violence from eviction because she called the police. But they range from being very weak to robust: in North Carolina, for example, housing discrimination against tenants is simply prohibited based on status as a victim of violence, compared to Minnesota and Texas, which specifically prohibit landlords from interfering with victims calling the police.
The ACLU hopes to see more. "We are pushing some more bills in other states and hope in the next term those can get enacted," Park said.

A mix of liquor and fabled Chicken Bones candy a holiday craze in New Brunswick
Kevin Bissett	The Canadian Press Published Wednesday, December 11, 2019 2:34PM EST
FREDERICTON -- For generations, the pink hard candy known as Chicken Bones has been a Christmas treat in the Maritimes, and now a new drink that draws inspiration from the candy's distinct flavour is in big demand this holiday season.
Moonshine Creek Distillery in Waterville, N.B., has partnered with St. Stephen-based candymaker Ganong to produce Chicken Bones Liqueur -- combining the cinnamon-chocolate candy with corn spirits.
The limited supply quickly sold out to people willing to line up outside New Brunswick liquor stores on a few occasions this month.
"We never had success with a product like this prior," said Jeremiah Clark, who started the distillery in 2018 with his brother Joshua. "We never expected it to take off like this."
Clark said the idea came out of a workshop they held last holiday season to show people how to make liqueurs with their moonshine products, and one item used was Chicken Bones.
"That recipe was popular and we got a lot of positive feedback on it. So we decided to approach Ganong to see if they'd be interested in collaborating with us, and they really liked the idea," Clark said.
To make the liqueur, the Chicken Bones candy is melted down into a syrup that's mixed with corn spirits.
Clark said they'll produce 10,000 bottles this season, and they're already planning to triple that amount next year. They were only able to sell it in New Brunswick this year, but hope to get approval for sale in other provinces for next Christmas.
The Chicken Bones candy has been produced by Ganong since 1885.
Bryana Ganong, the company's president and CEO, says many people send the candy to friends and relatives across the country each year, and she thinks many people will now be doing the same with the liqueur.
"It has been a great experience to work with these hard-working guys and to see them bring this product to market," Ganong said Wednesday.
Ganong said she was surprised to see the long lineups at liquor stores Tuesday when the second batch of the liqueur went on sale.
She and her brother, Nick, went to Waterville last week to help in the bottling process.
Clark said many families in the Maritimes have an emotional connection with Chicken Bones as part of their Christmas traditions, and he hopes that will now include their liqueur.
"I think they're sending it in care packages to displaced Maritimers around the world," he said.

Laura Kraut and Fleurette Fly To Washington International Horse Show Win
Laura Kraut Adds $136,300 Longines FEI Jumping World Cup™ Washington, presented by Events DC for the President's Cup, To Her Resume
Laura Kraut finally added a title she has been coveting to her record at the 61st Washington International Horse Show (WIHS). Riding Fleurette, Kraut jumped to victory in the $136,300 Longines FEI Jumping World Cup™ Washington, presented by Events DC for the President's Cup, on Saturday, October 26.
Earlier in the evening, 17-year-old Canadian rider Sam Walker claimed the coveted Lindsay Maxwell Charitable Fund WIHS Equitation Finals riding Waldo.

"It's been a class that I wanted to win for many, many years," said two-time Olympian Kraut, who was fifth in the class in 2018 riding Confu. "I think I've been jumping in the international division [at WIHS] since the late '80s. I've had quite a few seconds and thirds and fourths, but it's just always seemed to elude me. I said at the beginning of the week, 'I think this is going to be my week.'" Kraut first competed at WIHS in 1978 in the pony hunter divisions.
As the seventh to go, Andrew Welles and Primo Troy were the first pair of the 30-horse field to find their way clear over Olaf Petersen Jr.'s first-round course. The packed crowd in Capital One Arena waited to see another clear round until Kraut and Fleurette came into the ring as the final horse to jump, and a massive cheer went up when she made the jump-off.
In the jump-off, Welles ran into trouble on an early turn with Primo Troy, a 10-year-old Irish Sport Horse (Clinton x VDL Arkansas) owned by the Itasca Group. The stallion stopped, and after Welles circled and finished the course, they had accumulated 12 faults in a time of 45.69 seconds. "I tried to lay down the best round I could," Welles said. "With a rider like Laura behind you, you want to take a shot. I tried to do that. Unfortunately it didn't work out, but I'm thrilled with my horse tonight."

Kraut knew the score she had to beat. "When you know you have [a buffer of 12 faults], that's a breather. If it's four faults, there's pressure. Eight faults, you think, 'I've got to go a bit.' But with 12, I thought, 'Just don't muck this up!'" Kraut and Fleurette, a 10-year-old Selle Français mare (Verdi TN x Concorde), did have one rail in the jump-off, but with four faults in 40.99 seconds they secured the win.
Brianne Goutal Marteau finished in third with Viva Columbia, a 14-year-old Oldenburg mare owned by Rose Hill Farm. They completed the first round with one time fault. "In the beginning, I have to be a bit conservative, but then I really felt her open up. She was much quicker throughout the rest of the course," Goutal Marteau said. "It was a tough test, but it was great sport. It's one of the few indoor shows where you really get that city feel with the huge crowds. It's a gem we want to hold onto."
Petersen noted that he changed seats a few times as the class went on. "I was thinking each seat was bad luck," he joked. "I think it was a fair class. It was very exciting. We saw some really good rounds."
Fleurette joined Kraut's string in May, and Kraut has high hopes for the mare owned by Barb and David Roux of St. Bride's Farm. "She's one of these horses that I think has all the jump, all the scope, is careful, is brave, is sensible, and lets you ride her. The only thing she's missing at this point is the mileage at this level," she said.
WIHS was Kraut's first indoor show outing with Fleurette. The mare shipped across the Atlantic to show, as Kraut is based in England. "She flew to New York on Sunday, was in quarantine on Monday and Tuesday, and then got on a truck and came straight here. She's just amazing because not a lot of horses could put up with that," Kraut said.
"I didn't know how this show would suit her," Kraut continued. "I don't know how much she has done indoors. One thing I do know is that she's just such an intelligent horse. She takes everything in stride; nothing really bothers her. She's handled jumping in a big ring like Aachen beautifully. She's handled pretty much anything I've asked of her so far, and that's just a little bit her personality. She's a work horse."
Kraut makes a point of adding WIHS to her schedule even though she's based in England. "This is a fantastic horse show," she said. "I come back for it every year. Normally I'm in Europe, going full throttle, but I always have taken the time to come back and jump at Washington because I think it's one of the shows we don't want to do without."
The show's president, Vicki Lowell, noted that the spectator numbers were strong. "I think it was a super exciting class," Lowell said. "I'm just awed by these riders and what they're able to do and these horses. I think we had fantastic crowds. The enthusiasm here is building. There were a ton of people here and a lot of buzz, and I think it shows how much D.C. loves equestrian sport. I can't wait for 2020."
For her victory, Kraut was presented with The President of the United States Perpetual Cup, donated by Mrs. Jacqueline Kennedy in 1961. Additionally, she collected The Margaret Chovnick Memorial Trophy as winner of the $10,000 Leading International Rider Award and the Leading Lady Rider Award, sponsored by Longines. Fleurette's owners, Barb and Dave Roux, were presented with Leading Jumper Owner Award.
For her two wins earlier in the week, Sydney Shulman of Israel was presented with the Juliet Weber Reid Trophy as winner of the $10,000 Leading Under 25 Award. Shulman also was awarded the Leading Foreign Rider Award.

Sam Walker Walks Off With Lindsay Maxwell Charitable Fund WIHS Equitation Finals
Sam Walker simply could not be beaten in the Lindsay Maxwell Charitable Fund WIHS Equitation Finals on Saturday. Walker, 17, and from Nobleton, ON, led the three-phase competition from start to finish riding Waldo, becoming the first Canadian rider to win the class.
A field of 40 started the competitive, year-end equitation final, which spanned two days. Riders started with a hunter phase held on Friday, then completed a jumper phase held on Saturday afternoon, and then 10 riders qualified for a final work-off held during Saturday night's featured session. Riders' average scores from the first two rounds were combined, with the 10 top-ranked competitors then swapping horses in the work-off. The highest combined total score won the class.

Walker joked that his preparation for this year's win began immediately after the class last year. "I was 10th place here last year and third the year before, so I was a little bit hungry to get back in the ring here," Walker said. "I just wanted to say thank you to the Lindsay Maxwell Charitable Fund for sponsoring this class and always making it a great event every year."
Walker set the tone early with Waldo, a 12-year-old warmblood gelding owned by Missy Clark and North Run. The judges, Chance Arakelian, Laura Kraut, Timmy Kees, and Sue Ashe, scored him with a 93 in the hunter round, giving him the blue in that phase. In the jumper round, Walker finished second with a score of 92, but retained his lead in the overall standings with a 185 total. Ava Stearns, who won the jumper phase with a score of 93.5, was hot on his heels in the standings with a 182.5 total.
In the work-off, Walker and Stearns switched horses, with Walker getting on Stearns' mount Acer K, an eight-year-old gelding also owned by Clark and North Run, and Stearns getting a leg up onto Waldo. Walker and Stearns both train with Clark, John Brennan, and their team at North Run, so they were familiar with each other's horses.
"I think that knowing the person in your barn whose horse you're swapping onto and seeing the horse every day is a big advantage," Stearns said. "I watch [Waldo] go all the time, and Sam watches mine. I know that Sam has my best interests at heart, as I do for him, and he's going to tell me what I need to know. They're both such top-notch horses that you really couldn't go wrong."
Stearns put the pressure on Walker with a solid round with Waldo. It was a bit of redemption, as the year before, she had also switched horses with Walker and did not have as good a round, leaving her in ninth in the class.
Walker answered her challenge with a seamless round of his own as the last to go. The judges rewarded him with another score in the 90s, a 93. Stearns posted a score of 86.5 in the work-off, giving the win to Walker with a 278 total score and putting her in second place with a score of 269.5. For the win, Walker was presented with the WIHS Equitation Classic Trophy, donated by Mr. & Mrs. G. Ralph Ours, III, and, as the winning horse, Waldo was awarded the Lugano Memorial Trophy, donated by Stoney Hill.
"When the scores get as good as they got at the end, that's so much fun to watch, and it's a pleasure to judge," said Kees.
"I've been very, very grateful to have the ride on the same horse each year," said Walker. "I always look forward to coming to this horse show. It's extremely well organized. It's a great atmosphere. It's a real show. In regard to my horse and preparation, we just kept it simple and tried to stick with the plan. I'm just really happy with how today went."
Walker has had the ride on Waldo for three years, while Stearns, of Chilmark, MA, has just been showing Acer K since March. "These two are so well schooled, and in the whole scheme of things, veterans of equitation," Clark said of the two riders. "I'm so proud of them. Ava's horse is only eight years old; this was his first year doing [equitation finals], and Sam has helped develop Waldo, another horse that we also own. Waldo had never done equitation at this level until Sam started with him. It's been fun working with both kids and both those horses."
Judge Arakelian addressed Walker and Stearns after the class. "I'm a big fan of Sam's," he said. "I think he rides so forward and light with a great hand. Sam, your third round was absolutely beautiful. Ava, your second round was unbelievable as well. You're a very strong rider, and you ride that horse beautifully."
Finishing in third with a total score of was Dominic Gibbs, 16, of Colorado Springs, CO, riding Cent 15, an 11-year-old Hanoverian owned by Mountain King Ranch LLC. Gibbs is in his first year of the prestigious fall indoor equitation finals, and trains with Stacia Madden and the Beacon Hill team.
Paige Matthies Makes Clean Count in $15,000 Show Jumping Hall of Fame High Junior/Amateur-Owner Jumper Classic
Last year, Paige Matthies had to settle for second in the $15,000 Show Jumping Hall of Fame High Junior/Amateur-Owner Jumper Classic with the fastest four-fault round. This year, there was no stopping her as she claimed the title, and the Ambassador's Cup Perpetual Trophy, donated by Ambassador and Mrs. Marion H. Smoak, with the only clean round in the class riding Climbus.
"He has a heart of gold," Matthies said of Climbus, a 13-year-old Holsteiner by Cartani and owned by Barbara Smith. "He wants a clear round and to win. He'll put his all into it if he feels like you need it, and he did that today."

Course designer Olaf Petersen, Jr., set a tough course for the class, and Matthies was glad she went first in the class and didn't watch the problems later riders encountered. "A lot of people don't prefer that because you don't get to watch other riders go and see how the course rides, but with as many tricks as showed up on the course today, I felt like it was almost better that I wasn't thinking about them," she said.
"I just went out and rode the course. There were a lot of blind turns. That just continued throughout the course, with different tests. It was also a test of the horse's scope because it was a big, wide course," Matthies said.
Matthies, of Lake Leelanau, MI, has been riding Climbus for two and half years. He was her first high junior jumper, and he's helped her gain confidence in the division. "He's kind of an unconventional horse," she said. "He goes with his head up, and he's very quick on his feet. You have to ride him. He wants a polite rider, but you have to be effective and tell him what you want. If you do that, he'll do the job for you."
This is Matthies' last year as a junior rider, so she was a bit nostalgic about her last junior jumper class at WIHS. "This has always been one of my favorite shows, with the setting," she said.
Finishing second in the class with the fastest four-fault round in 58.44 seconds was Elizabeth Lang riding her own Zephyr. Sophie Gochman rode Gochman Sport Horse's Carola BH into third with four faults in 59.05 seconds.
Competition at the 2018 WIHS concludes on Sunday, October 28, with the Pony Hunter division championships, the WIHS Pony Equitation Classic, and the Regional Hunter Finals.

Q: Selecting html elements text as input for JavaScript var unixtime =356674566

var newDate = new Date();

newDate.setTime(unixtime * 1000);

dateString = newDate.toUTCString();

document.getElementById("time").innerHTML = dateString;

I wanted to give h1 element text(not input text) as an input to var unix timestamp..is there any way to do that?

A: You can give the h1 element an id and use document.getElementById to get the h1 element. Then you can use .textContent to get the text within the h1 tag. Finally, you can use a + to convert the string retrieved from textContent to a number.
See working example below:

document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function() {
  var unixtime = +document.getElementById('unix').textContent;
  var newDate = new Date();

  newDate.setTime(unixtime * 1000);
  dateString = newDate.toUTCString();

  document.getElementById("time").textContent = dateString;
});

Day Whether her kids are 4 or 40, being a mom is stressful. For a mother, all of her kids' problems are magnified. When you love someone as much as a mother loves her children, their every success, failure, and everything in between weigh on you on a daily basis. That's why it's so important to help your mom relax this Mother's Day. Here are some unique ways to make that happen.
Moms spend hours focusing on how to take care of their children – so much so that they often neglect their own mental and physical wellness. One gift you can give your mom that pretty much forces her to take some time for herself is a spa day. One way to go about this is to buy her a gift certificate to a local spa or massage center (you can always get her a gift certificate for Massage Works Therapy Center). This will likely make her happy and is in no way a bad gift. But if you want to make her day truly special, you can take the time to bring the spa to her.
"Included in [a] spa gift basket is everything your busy mom will need to wash her stresses away. The best part is she can do all of the spa treatments from home so she has no excuse not to fit it in her busy schedule. She'll thank you for this relaxing gift," says SheKnows.com.
Try filling a basket with face-masks, bath salts, sugar scrubs, and aromatherapy candles. There's nothing like being able to take some time away from your busy schedule and relax from the comfort of your own home, but still feel like you're getting the deluxe spa treatment.
This Mother's day give her the gift of time If there's one thing moms never have enough of it's alone time.
This Mother's Day, give your mom the gift of time. Nothing can be more precious.
You can do this in a variety of ways. Offer to cook Mother's Day brunch and dinner. Do some of her household chores for her. Ask if she has any pressing responsibilities at work and offer to help. If she has younger children, offer to watch them so she can go do something for herself. However you decide to give your mom some free time, she'll be thrilled.
One of the best gifts you can give your mom (other than relaxation) is your company. You can hit both of these things by planning out the perfect mind and body rejuvenation day, and participating in it with her.
You can start the day with some outdoor yoga. After a healthy brunch (that you prepare), head out to a local park or nature preserve and go for a hike. Have a picnic in the woods. Take a late evening stroll in your local arboretum. If your mom is the outdoorsy type, consider camping, kayaking, or canoeing. Getting out in nature is a great way to replenish the mind, and getting some exercise is a great way to help her kick off the summer season.
For busy moms (let's face it, that set includes most moms), the first thing to fall by the wayside in a sea of obligations and responsibilities is her own personal mental and physical wellbeing. Mother's Day is the perfect time to remind her that it's important that she makes time to focus on herself, and that you are there to make sure she can make it happen. Big, expensive Mother's day gifts are great in some aspects, but taking the time to plan out a relaxing day is unique, special, and will show her how much you care about her.

Pedro de Hungría o Pedro Orseolo (en húngaro: Orseolo Péter; en latín: Petrus Orseolo), (Venecia, 1011 – Székesfehérvár, Hungría, 1046). Segundo rey de Hungría, sobrino por vía materna del rey San Esteban I de Hungría y por vía paterna descendiente de la ilustre familia veneciana de los Orseolo.

Biografía

Se estima que Pedro nació entre 1010 y 1011 en la República de Venecia, hijo del vigésimo primer dux veneciano, Otón Orseolo y de Geiza, una hermana del rey húngaro Esteban I, quienes se unieron en matrimonio en 1009. En 1026, Conrado II viajó a las regiones itálicas demandando ser coronado como rex romanorum y pronto comenzó a actuar contra el dux veneciano Otón Orseolo, despojándolo de su trono y obligándole a huir. Otón Orseolo escapó a la ciudad de Constantinopla, y sus dos hijos Pedro y Frusina viajaron con su madre a Hungría pidiendo protección a su tío San Esteban. El rey húngaro recibió a su hermana y sobrinos, y pronto nombró a Pedro comandante de sus tropas, cuando este ya rondaba los 20 años de edad.

Cuando en 1031 falleció el príncipe San Emérico de Hungría, el hijo de Esteban I, durante una cacería de jabalíes, el reino quedó sin heredero. Esteban entonces se apresuró a nombrar heredero a su sobrino Pedro, quien creció fuerte en poder con la reina madre Gisela de Baviera como su aliada.

Primer período (1038-1041)

San Esteban murió en 1038 y de inmediato Pedro Orseolo fue coronado como rey de Hungría. Esto fue bien visto por la reina Gisela de Baviera, esposa de San Esteban, pero no así por el noble húngaro Vazul, descendiente de Árpad. Vazul mantenía pretensiones al trono húngaro y finalmente fue mandado cegar, según se estima, por orden de Gisela de Baviera. Sus tres hijos (Andrés I, Bela I y Levente) se vieron obligados a dejar el reino.

Orseolo gobernó causando descontento a los nobles húngaros, ya que pretendía que Hungría fuera un reino vasallo del Sacro Imperio Romano Germánico, para obtener así protección del emperador Enrique III el Negro. Orseolo tuvo que enfrentarse pronto a los nobles descontentos que pusieron a la cabeza de la revuelta a Samuel Aba, quien había tomado por esposa a una hermana del fallecido San Esteban. Así en 1041, Orseolo huyó al Sacro Imperio y Samuel Aba recibió la corona húngara. Su reinado transcurriría lleno de escándalos y masacraría a decenas de nobles húngaros y germánicos que habrían apoyado a Orseolo durante su reinado.

Segundo período (1044-1046)

En 1044, Orseolo regresó a Hungría con tropas germánicas y recuperó el trono, dando muerte a Samuel Aba luego de la Batalla de Ménfő, haciéndose con el poder y reanudando el vasallaje al emperador germánico Enrique III. Entonces, el descontento de los húngaros paganos motivó la Revuelta de Vata en 1046, la cual estuvo acaudillada por el pagano Vata. Éste hizo que los hijos de Vazul regresaran a Hungría y así, Andrés y Bela, junto con los paganos, lograron recuperar la corona de Hungría en 1046.

Pedro Orseolo fue apresado después de que Andrés I lo engañase con una falsa promesa de paz. Antes de ser ejecutado, recibió el mismo castigo que se presumía aplicó a Vazul: fue capturado y cegado en la ciudad de Zámoly y a continuación, como prisionero fue llevado a Székesfehérvár donde murió algunos días más tarde. Nunca se casó por lo tanto no tuvo hijos o descendientes (aunque algunas fuentes más tarde informan falsamente de descendientes, años después, y de un presunto matrimonio). Fue enterrado en la catedral de Pécs, que se construyó durante su reinado.

Apple Acquires German Eye Tracking Firm SensoMotoric Instruments
Monday June 26, 2017 1:39 pm PDT by Joe Rossignol
Apple has almost certainly acquired German computer vision company SensoMotoric Instruments, a provider of eye tracking glasses and systems, based on evidence compiled by MacRumors.
On May 2, Apple's vice president of corporate law Gene Levoff, representing Delaware-based shell company Vineyard Capital Corporation, granted power of attorney to German law firm Hiking Kühn Lüer Wojtek to represent Vineyard Capital Corporation in all business related to the acquisition of SensoMotoric Instruments.
On June 16, SensoMotoric Instruments filed several documents with the German Company Register outlining new articles of incorporation. SensoMotoric's previous managing director Eberhard Schmidt was replaced by Dr. Ali Sahin, one of the German attorneys representing Vineyard Capital Corporation.
Vineyard Capital Corporation is listed as having acquired all company shares of SensoMotoric Instruments.
Apple takes steps to hide its acquisitions through shell companies, which essentially only exist on paper, but Levoff's signature on one of the documents is a clear giveaway that Vineyard Capital Corporation is Apple. Levoff even notarized the document in Cupertino, California, where Apple is headquartered.
SensoMotoric Instruments recently updated its website, removing over a dozen pages with detailed information about its products. The website also no longer has a jobs portal, news blog, schedule of events and workshops, contact information, list of distributors and resellers, or mailing list signup form.
An archived version of the website from last week indicated the company was hiring, but the current version does not. Schmidt's name and headshot have also been removed from the website now that he is no longer managing director. Christian Villwock, Director of OEM Solutions Business, was also removed.
The acquisition is backed up by an anonymous tipster, who told us that he allegedly spoke to an Apple employee today who said the deal has been completed. Additionally, one of SensoMotoric's clients informed us that they have been attempting to contact the company for several weeks without hearing back.
Apple and SensoMotoric Instruments did not respond to multiple requests for comments. SensoMotoric's phone line was out of service.
SensoMotoric Instruments, founded in 1991, has developed a range of eye tracking hardware and software for several fields of use, including virtual and augmented reality, in-car systems, clinical research, cognitive training, linguistics, neuroscience, physical training and biomechanics, and psychology.
The company's Eye Tracking Glasses, for instance, are capable of recording a person's natural gaze behavior in real-time and in real world situations with a sampling rate up to 120Hz. As seen in the video below, one possible use case is for athletes looking to evaluate and improve their visual performance.
SensoMotoric has also developed eye-tracking technology for virtual reality headsets such as the Oculus Rift, which can analyze the wearer's gaze and help to reduce motion sickness, a common side effect of VR. The solution can also allow for a person's gaze to control menus or aim in a game with their gaze.
SensoMotoric's other eye-tracking solutions include standalone devices, such as the RED250mobile, which allows saccade-based studies to be conducted at 250Hz for researchers who require both mobility and high sampling rate.
Apple has reportedly prototyped a pair of "smart glasses" that would connect to an iPhone and display "images and other information" to the wearer, and SensoMotoric's eye-tracking technology could feasibly play a role in that product alongside solutions from Apple's other acquisitions like Faceshift.
Apple CEO Tim Cook has also repeatedly expressed a "profound" interest in augmented reality, calling the technology "a big idea" like the smartphone. He said augmented reality should "amplify" human contact, but noted "there are things to discover before that technology is good enough for the mainstream."
With iOS 11, Apple is delving into augmented reality in a big way, introducing an ARKit development platform that will allow developers to quickly and easily build augmented reality experiences into their apps and games.

SensoMotoric Instruments is headquartered in Teltow, Germany, near Berlin, and its website said it had an office in Boston as well. It's unclear if the company and its roughly 60 employees, according to LinkedIn, will merge within Apple or remain an independent subsidiary. Financial terms of the deal are unknown.
Eric Slivka contributed to this report.
Update: "Apple buys smaller technology companies from time to time, and we generally do not discuss our purpose or plans," an Apple representative said in a statement to Axios, essentially confirming the deal.

I'm excited about nearly every Apple product that's come out, but I'll say the same thing about this that I said about Google Glass.
I don't understand why anyone would buy this. The concept is neat, but I don't see it having any success in the real world. Having data pop up while you're going about your business would be incredibly distracting. People wear glasses because they have to... because their eyesight sucks or the sun is in their eyes. I don't see people paying hundred of dollars to wear something on their face unless they absolutely have to.
Also, the cameras make people nervous and they will undoubtedly create a lot of attention that will create awkward conversations when you're just trying to go about your business.
Am I missing something here? It seems like it'd be useful, but not enough to warrant all the downsides that come with it.
Are you missing something here? Yes, the entire content of this post, which is unrelated to anything you mention.

From the looks of it Apple's testing their new AR glasses out in Nova Scotia.

It's hard to overstate what a big deal this technology is for VR. Right now, VR headsets suck massively. They have the equivalent of 20/100 vision or so, and they require absurdly powerful GPUs to run because they have to render every pixel all the time. If we go to sharper displays, they'll require far, far more processing power.
The funny thing is our eyes are only really detail-sensitive in a very small area called the fovea. Our brains fill in everything else from what we remember being there. So we're spending all this processor power and electricity to render huge numbers of pixels when the user can only possibly see a tiny number of them from any given frame.
Eye tracking allows the computer to guess where the fovea is on the frame. This allows the computer to render only that area at high detail, and render everything else much rougher. This is called foveated rendering, and it has the potential to allow phone GPUs to render convincing VR at nearly-arbitrary display sizes.
For people curious about the science behind this, check out some of the research into a phenomenon called saccadic masking. When our eyes move, we go momentarily blind. Again, our brains fill in the detail so we don't perceive the gap. This and the unimportance of detail outside the fovea have been proven with some fascinating experiments involving these sorts of gaze trackers.
I still think VR is a gimmick rather than something actually useful, but more pervasive deployment may change that.

Wearing glasses when your eyesight is fine sounds so incredibly hipster.

Amazing. But I wonder what effect will it have on the wearer's vision? My vision, for example, has worsened because of my extended use of the iPad. Will the rumored AR device cause more damage to my eyes?
VulchR
I know a few cognitive scientists, psychologists and neuroscientists that are going to be a little worried about whether the company is going to continue to offer research-grade eye trackers....

These glasses were all the rage in the 90s.

This could very good, but my concern is how would they make it work for people like myself who already have to wear glasses in order to see? Plus they would need to avoid the pitfalls that caused the downfall of Google Glass.

I got my a$$ kicked in high school for wearing thick glasses, now I'm just gonna get killed :p

Understand the risk factors, symptoms, and diagnostic process for liver cancer.
The liver is a football-sized organ located in the abdomen that filters blood from other parts of the body. Our team includes doctors, nurses, dietitians, psychiatrists, and social workers, all of whom are here to meet the physical and emotional needs of liver cancer patients and their families.
The liver cancer specialists at Henry Ford are focused on the things that make each person, and their cancer, unique. That's how one of the nation's leading cancer teams can offer care that's all about you.
Liver cancer affects both men and women, but men are more likely to have it. All races/ethnicities are affected. Non-Caucasian people are more commonly diagnosed at an advanced stage of the disease.
While hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and alcohol related liver disease are the most common risk factors, fatty liver disease due to obesity is a growing cause of liver cancer.
Some people falsely believe liver cancer always is caused by excessive alcohol use. This is untrue -- a variety of factors can cause liver cancer. But heavy alcohol use is a risk factor for liver cancer. Studies have shown that heavy alcohol consumption over time can increase the risk of liver cancer significantly.
If you experience any of these symptoms, you should see a doctor. People with a history of chronic liver disease or cirrhosis should be routinely checked for liver cancer.
Angiosarcoma: a rare type of cancer that starts in the blood vessels of the liver.
Cholangiocarcinoma (also known as a Klatskin tumor): this tumor begins in the bile ducts and accounts for approximately 13 percent of liver cancers.
Hepatoblastoma: another rare type of liver cancer that typically affects children.
Hepatocellular carcinoma: this tumor begins in the main type of liver cells, known as the hepatocytes, and accounts for approximately 84 percent of liver cancers.
Biopsy: we remove a tiny piece of liver tissue with a needle through the skin. A doctor will evaluate the tissue for evidence of cancer.
Blood tests: we'll check for anemia and how well your liver functions.
Computed tomography (CT) scan: uses specialized X-rays to create detailed, cross-sectional views of internal organs.
Laparoscopy: a doctor places a thin tube inside the body through a small incision in the front of the stomach to see the liver and other organs. We were the first health system in Michigan to use this procedure.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI): a computer analysis that creates detailed images of the organs.
Ultrasound: we use sound waves to produce images of internal organs on a screen.
There are many treatments for liver cancer, and if diagnosed early, treatment is often successful.
Beyond treatment, we provide a range of education and support options to all our cancer patients.

Mildred's Place: 1938
Eateries & Bars
John Vachon
October 1938 at the Alamo. "Mildred Irwin, saloon singer at North Platte, Nebraska. She entertained for 20 years in Omaha before coming to North Platte." Medium-format safety negative by John Vachon. View full size.
Letter from John Vachon to his wife, Penny:
Last night I had an adventure. Of the 1st water. To have it I had to get kind of stiff. And I did, dear. Pretty plastered. But it was all in the line of duty, eminently legitimate and justifiable. About eight o'clock I went into a corner saloon. It was a saloon in the grand tradition. I drank only beer, but great gobs of it. At the piano was a big huge large fat blonde woman of 45 to 50 yrs. With beautiful smeary red makeup on her puss, and huge mammy type bosoms. And her voice, O that you could hear her voice. She has Sophie Tucker in the wastebasket . . .
Mildred is mentioned here

"It was John Vachon, however, who met the most audacious array of non-conformists, and he quickly fell under their spell. He eagerly photographed one old man who lived in the town dump and who "displayed a magnificent sense of humor." Somewhere near Big Hole, Montana, Vachon made friends with a sheep rancher, who took him deep into the range country, cooked him a meal in the open, and gave him his first horseback ride. (This fellow was hardly the defeated victim that Nathan Ache's sheep herder had been.) Although Vachon felt the rancher was an 'individualistic type which has probably outlived its usefulness,' Vachon still thought this character was the salt of the earth and an irresistible subject. But it was in North Platte, Nebraska, that Vachon found his greatest infatuation. At a local bar he discovered Mildred Irwin, "a big fat blond woman of 45 or so, with a beautiful red smary paint job." She had been an Omaha prostitute for nearly twenty years and had then retired to North Platte to play honky-tonk piano in the bar and sing "like Sophie Tucker--only very nasty songs." Completely smitten with this woman, Vachon took picture after picture of her, and "made 3 trips back to the hotel for more flash bulbs." By the late 1930s and early 1940s, documentary photographers were increasingly on the lookout for the likes of Mildred Irwin and searched less and less for subjects like Lange's "Migrant Mother". As conditions slowly improved and the crisis receded, it seemed less important to promote social legislation or confront the "realities" of the decade, and documentary photographers gradually turned to savoring the eccentricities of the people they met."

I live in North Platte and do alot of local historical research. I've seen all the pictures of Mildred that John took through the Library of Congress website. My question is what happened to Mildred after she left North Platte? I can't seem to find any references to her anywhere.
Just curious.

Actually, if you read the fine print on that site, it basically says that audio file has nothing really to do with Mildred except being inspired by her. It's a modern recording intended to sound old---and to my ears it sounds much like a midi file, which they didn't even have in the '30s. Kind of a questionable tribute to the lady, really...

Here's the disclaimer on that site:
DISCLAIMER The music on this compact disk is a studio re-creation. It is not an actual recording. We do not wish to mislead anyone into believing that Mildred Irwin -- a real entertainer who played the piano at the Alamo Bar, a real bar in North Platte, Nebraska -- actually played the music you hear on this disk. She did not. As described in Charles M. Von Rosa's notes included in the booklet inside, this music was re-created using the limited information available. Like the bulk of the music heard on the radio these days, this music is fake. However, as our purpose is to honor a long neglected fabulous entertainer, here it is. We sincerely hope you enjoy this recording as much as we enjoyed putting it together. - Croscrane™

The phrase "Of the first water" comes from gemology.
John on Mildred
Mr. Vachon may have had photog skills, but he's not too bad with a pen, either. Pretty colorful descriptions. The phrase...1st water...which I've heard only occasionally, seems used in the same sense as 'of the first order'. But 1st water also makes me think that it refers to bath water which in earlier times was a shared commodity. Handed down, so to speak. And first water would be, obviously, the first and best. We kids had to share bath water a lot back in the 50's, that part I do know.
I'll definitely have a listen to the link. Now to figure out what he meant by Sophie Tucker in the wastebasket.

Trójkąt – wielokąt o trzech bokach. Trójkąt to najmniejsza (w sensie inkluzji) figura wypukła i domknięta, zawierająca pewne trzy ustalone i niewspółliniowe punkty płaszczyzny (otoczka wypukła wspomnianych trzech punktów).

Odcinki tworzące łamaną nazywamy bokami, punkty wspólne sąsiednich boków nazywamy wierzchołkami trójkąta. Każdy trójkąt jest jednoznacznie wyznaczony przez swoje wierzchołki.

Często dla wygody jeden z boków trójkąta nazywa się podstawą, a pozostałe – ramionami.

W każdym trójkącie suma miar kątów wewnętrznych między bokami wynosi 180°, zaś długości boków muszą spełniać pewne zależności (patrz dalej).

Rodzaje

Trójkąty można dzielić ze względu na długości ich boków oraz ze względu na miary ich kątów.

Przy podziale ze względu na boki wyróżnia się:
 trójkąt różnoboczny ma każdy bok innej długości;
 trójkąt równoramienny ma dwa boki tej samej długości;
 trójkąt równoboczny ma wszystkie trzy boki tej samej długości; wszystkie jego kąty są tej samej miary.

Przy podziale ze względu na kąty wyróżnia się:
 trójkąt ostrokątny, którego wszystkie kąty wewnętrzne są ostre;
 trójkąt prostokątny to taki, w którym jeden z kątów wewnętrznych jest prosty (a więc pozostałe sumują się do kąta prostego); boki tworzące kąt prosty nazywa się przyprostokątnymi, pozostały bok nosi nazwę przeciwprostokątnej; przeciwprostokątna zawsze jest dłuższa od każdej przyprostokątnej;
 trójkąt rozwartokątny, którego jeden kąt wewnętrzny jest rozwarty.

Trójkąty można dzielić również ze względu na inne relacje równoważności, np. podobieństwo, przystawanie.

Ważne elementy
Wysokość trójkąta to prosta zawierająca jego wierzchołek i prostopadła do prostej zawierającej przeciwległy bok. Słowem "wysokość" często też nazywany jest odcinek wysokości, łączący wierzchołek z punktem na prostej zawierającej przeciwległy bok; długość tego odcinka też nazywa się wysokością. Każdy trójkąt ma trzy wysokości, które przecinają się w punkcie zwanym ortocentrum tego trójkąta.

Środkowa trójkąta to prosta zawierająca wierzchołek trójkąta i środek przeciwległego boku. Każdy trójkąt ma trzy środkowe, które przecinają się w jednym punkcie, będącym środkiem geometrycznym (barycentrum, lub błędnie środkiem masy lub środkiem ciężkości) trójkąta. Punkt ten dzieli każdą ze środkowych na dwie części, przy czym odcinek łączący barycentrum z wierzchołkiem jest dwa razy dłuższy od odcinka łączącego barycentrum ze środkiem boku.

Symetralna boku trójkąta to prosta prostopadła do tego boku i przechodząca przez jego środek. Każdy trójkąt ma trzy symetralne boków, przecinające się w punkcie będącym środkiem okręgu opisanego na tym trójkącie.

Dwusieczne kątów wewnętrznych trójkąta przecinają się w punkcie, który jest środkiem okręgu wpisanego w ten trójkąt.

Symediana jest odbiciem środkowej w dwusiecznej wychodzącej z tego samego wierzchołka trójkąta.

Punkt Nagela – punkt, w którym przecinają się proste łączące wierzchołki z punktami styczności przeciwległych boków z odpowiednimi okręgami dopisanymi.

Punkt Gergonne'a – punkt przecięcia prostych łączących wierzchołki z punktami styczności przeciwległych boków do okręgu wpisanego w trójkąt.

Punkty Brocarda – w trójkącie ABC o bokach a, b, c znajduje się dokładnie jeden taki punkt P, że proste AP, BP, CP z bokami odpowiednio c, a, b tworzą równe kąty.

Punkt Fermata – punkt, którego suma odległości od wierzchołków trójkąta jest najmniejsza z możliwych.

W każdym trójkącie punkty przecięcia: środkowych boków  symetralnych boków  wysokości  (odpowiednio: barycentrum, środek okręgu opisanego, ortocentrum) leżą na jednej prostej, zwanej prostą Eulera. Ponadto

Pole powierzchni

Przyjmując dla trójkąta  następujące oznaczenia:
  – długości boków;
  – wysokości opuszczone na boki odpowiednio
  – kąty leżące naprzeciw boków odpowiednio
  – pole powierzchni;
  – promień okręgu opisanego;
  – promień okręgu wpisanego;
  – połowa obwodu;

dostaniemy następujące wzory na pole powierzchni:

  (wzór Herona);
  (postać wyznacznikowa).

Z powyższych wzorów można wyprowadzić również następujące:

W geometrii analitycznej przyjmując dla wierzchołków trójkąta

dostaniemy także następujące wzory:
  czyli

Środek geometryczny

Trójkąt, którego wierzchołki mają współrzędne kartezjańskie:

ma środek geometryczny (barycentrum) w punkcie:

Nierówność trójkąta

W każdym trójkącie o bokach, których długości wynoszą   i  zachodzi następująca nierówność, zwana nierównością trójkąta:

i analogicznie

Trójkąt o bokach, których długości wynoszą   i  istnieje wtedy i tylko wtedy, gdy spełnione są te trzy nierówności. Można je zapisać w równoważnej postaci:

Geometrie nieeuklidesowe
Na płaszczyźnie euklidesowej suma miar kątów wewnętrznych trójkąta jest równa kątowi półpełnemu, czyli

W geometriach innych niż euklidesowa suma kątów wewnętrznych nie musi wynosić 180°. Na przykład osoba, która pójdzie z bieguna północnego 10 tys. km na południe, 10 tys. km na zachód, a potem 10 tys. km na północ znajdzie się z powrotem na biegunie, choć dwukrotnie skręciła o 90°, więc trójkąt przez nią zakreślony ma sumę kątów większą niż 180°, a dokładnie 270°. Dzieje się tak, gdyż na sferze (dobre przybliżenie powierzchni geoidy) obowiązuje geometria eliptyczna, a nie euklidesowa. Dowód własności, że w przestrzeni euklidesowej suma kątów w trójkącie wynosi 180°, opiera się na piątym aksjomacie Euklidesa, który wyróżnia geometrię euklidesową spośród innych geometrii.

Three-dimensional organization and dynamics of vortices in multichannel swirling jets
Andrea Ianiro, Kyle P. Lynch, Daniele Violato, Gennaro Cardone, Fulvio Scarano
Journal: Journal of Fluid Mechanics / Volume 843 / 25 May 2018
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 21 March 2018, pp. 180-210
Print publication: 25 May 2018
The unsteady three-dimensional flow organization of jets issued from a duct with swirl vanes at Reynolds number equal to 1000 and swirl number $S$ ranging between 0 and 0.8 is investigated. Time-resolved tomographic particle image velocimetry returns the instantaneous flow structure and its evolution by visualization of velocity and vortical features. The most relevant coherent motions are identified and characterized with the aid of dynamic mode decomposition. The time-averaged flow topology indicates that the vanes used to impart the swirling motion have a significant impact on the azimuthal modulation of momentum, with the jet exhibiting four sectors separated by a thin cross-like wake resulting from the boundary layer developed along the vane walls. The flow field is thus characterized by inner and outer shear regions. An increase in swirl, up to moderate levels ( $S=0.4$ ), causes larger jet spreading angles. Further increase of the swirl number is accompanied by the appearance of a central recirculation zone due to vortex breakdown at $S=0.6$ which increases in size and is triggered upstream for increasing $S$ . Although no shear layer instability development is observed at $S=0$ , already at $S=0.2$ the swirling motion promotes the growth of helical vortices appearing as Kelvin–Helmholtz waves that deform the outer axial shear layer. The downstream evolution features successive pairing, which is observed for all the considered swirl numbers. The initial development of the instability is independent for each vane, whereas a mutual interaction between the vanes occurs after the vortex pairing. The reconnection from the four sectors vortices induces a significant increase of azimuthal vorticity, which affects the dynamical behaviour of the precessing vortex core. The latter is visualized by a low-order spatio-temporal reconstruction based on few dynamical modes. At a higher swirl number ( $S\geqslant 0.6$ ), the axial vorticity component dominates the flow field; it interacts with the azimuthal vorticity, which penetrates inward through the meanders of the vane wakes and forces the vortex core precession and breakdown.
Dust formation at cryogenic temperatures

The efficiency of dust formation in a variety of environments is an ongoing topic for discussions, especially if it comes to dust formation in the interstellar medium. Although this possibility is discussed in a wide range of numerical studies, experiments on the formation of dust at low densities and temperatures are mostly lacking. This contribution summarizes the main findings of our low-temperature condensation experiments including the formation of silica, complex silicates with pyroxene and olivine stoichiometry, and of carbonaceous refractory materials. Atomic and molecular species to be expected as products of supernovae shock fronts were produced by laser ablation of silicates and graphite. These species were deposited together with a rare gas on cold substrates representing the surfaces of surviving dust grains in the interstellar medium. After characterizing the precursor species, the rare gas matrix was annealed to induce diffusion and reactions between the initial components. We found the production of amorphous and homogeneous silica and magnesium iron silicates at temperatures of about 12 K in a barrierless reaction as monitored by infrared spectroscopy. The 10 μm band of the low-temperature siliceous condensates shows a striking similarity to the 10 μm band of interstellar silicates. Carbonaceous atoms and molecules can also react without a barrier and form an amorphous or hydrogenated amorphous carbon material. The refractory condensate has properties comparable to fullerene-like carbon grains formed at high temperatures.

Journal: Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union / Volume 6 / Issue S269 / January 2010
The mutual phenomena between Jupiter and Saturn's satellites occur every half orbital period of these planets, when the Earth and the Sun cross their equatorial plane. At Physics and Astronomy Department of Catania University the events between Jupiter's satellites have been observed during the 1973, 1979, 1985/86, 1991, 1997 and 2009 campaigns and the ones between Saturn's satellites during the 1980/81 and 1995 campaigns. An overview of the main results obtained since 1973 is presented.

Planets and their moons are constantly subjected to irradiation from both their respective planetary magnetospheres and the solar wind. Energetic particles (electrons, protons and ions) in such radiation may induce complex chemistry within the icy mantles of such bodies, producing many organic compounds. Such processes can be simulated in laboratory experiments. In this report we present recent results from experiments exploring both molecular synthesis and the morphology of such ices.
The morphology of any ice may be characterised by IR and Vacuum Ultra-Violet (VUV) spectroscopy. The latter is particularly useful for studying ices in which infrared inactive molecules like oxygen (O2) are common. We have shown that oxygen forms dimers in typical planetary ices and that, in contrast to previous analysis, many of the chemical reactions within the ice involve such dimer (and larger cluster) chemistry. We also present the results of a series of experiments that explore electron, proton and ion irradiation on Solar System relevant ices such as carbon dioxide (CO2) at different temperatures. Infrared spectra recorded before and after irradiation are used to identify and quantify molecules formed in such irradiation, e. g. ozone. These experiments show that the morphology of the ice plays a critical role in the chemistry.

Cattle prices, numbers remain high in 2005

Ms. Linda M. Breazeale
MISSISSIPPI STATE -- Cattle producers are expanding their herds as prices remain strong during the first months of 2005.
John Anderson, an agricultural economist with Mississippi State University's Extension Service, said cattle producers are expanding their herds rather than sending them to feed lots. Most expect prices to remain strong throughout the year.
"One factor that contributes to herd expansion when prices are high is the fact that there is more cash available from fewer cattle. Producers do not need to sell as many of their calves in order to meet their financial obligations," Anderson said. "This makes it economically feasible for them to hold back a few more heifers than they would if prices were lower."
Prices reached a high level in February and then dipped.
"We thought those February prices were going to be our spring highs, but prices rebounded to reach even higher levels in April," Anderson said. "Fed cattle prices peaked at $94 per hundredweight at the end of April, and have declined slightly in the following weeks. Steers in the 700 to 800 pound range are bringing good prices at about $1 per pound."
Blair McKinley, Extension beef cattle specialist, said Mississippi's herd size has increased along with the national numbers.
"Many producers had to feed hay longer than normal because wet, cool conditions delayed summer grasses," he said. "Most cattle still came through the winter in good shape."
McKinley said cattle producers' biggest concerns are fuel and fertilizer prices, which are increasing the cost of production. As a result, more attention will be placed on forage management.
Richard Watson, Extension forage specialist, said fall and late winter are the best months for improving the condition of pasture grasses and reducing production costs. Adequate stands of ryegrass and fescue in the fall will reduce the need for hay throughout the winter.
"Beginning in the fall, producers can plant clover with ryegrass. Clover seed will cost between $10 and $20 per acre depending on the variety. Clover will fix 80 to 200 pounds per acre of nitrogen into the soil and provide a good forage for livestock," Watson said. "To add nitrogen fertilizer, the costs will run $40 to $80 per acre."
Watson said the time for weed control was in February.
"If flowers are visible, it's too late," he said. "This year, the weather may have given weeds an advantage as cool temperatures slowed the growth of better grasses and wet conditions prevented herbicide applications. Actively growing grasses will reduce weeds."
By the time flowers appear, bush hogs are the best tools for managing weeds, not herbicides.

Remarks by Minister at the Joint Ministerial Media Conference on Marriage and Parenthood
Home > Media Room > Remarks by Minister at the Joint Ministerial Media Conference on Marriage and Parenthood
Official Speeches (All), Official Speeches: Desmond Lee
family life/matters/services, education (children & youth)
1. Good afternoon. Thank you for joining us here today. I'm happy to share with you more about the significant preschool enhancements that PM outlined at the National Day Rally. These are important for a number of reasons.
Importance of Preschools
2. First, as Minister Josephine Teo said, making sure that good quality preschools are affordable and accessible is important to make "Singapore a Great Place for Families".
3. Second, we want every child to have the best possible start in life, regardless of starting point or family background.
4. The early years of a child's life are crucial for his development, building a strong foundation for subsequent life outcomes. At birth, a baby's brain is only about 25% of the size of an adult's. By age 5, a child's brain has grown to about 90% of an adult's – almost fully grown.
Progress So Far
5. Since 2012, we have made significant progress to raise the accessibility, affordability and quality of preschools for families.
a. First, increasing the accessibility of affordable, quality government-supported schools.
i. We expanded the Anchor Operator scheme in 2014 to provide more quality, affordable and accessible services.
ii. We further introduced the Partner Operator scheme in 2016 to help lower industry full-day childcare fees (anchoring the median fees at $800 before GST).
iii. Together with MOE Kindergartens, which started in 2014, these government-supported preschools now provide for slightly over 50% of preschoolers today, up from a third in 2012.
b. Second, raising the quality of preschools.
i. To improve teacher quality and attract more to join the profession, we introduced various professional development programmes, training awards, and scholarships.
ii. We also set up the National Institute of Early Childhood Development (NIEC) which took in its first batch of students this year.
iii. To ensure higher and more consistent quality standards across preschools, we introduced new laws and regulations that apply to all preschools from January 2019.
iv. We have also enhanced our preschool quality accreditation framework.
c. Third, increasing the affordability of preschools.
i. We introduced the Additional Subsidy in 2013 and last enhanced the Kindergarten Fee Assistance Scheme (KiFAS) in 2015.
ii. Earlier this year, we streamlined applications for subsidy and financial assistance and made the criteria more transparent. We also enhanced subsidy support for non-working mothers in the midst of seeking employment as well as those who are full-time caregivers for their younger children.
6. For children who need greater support, we have also stepped up on our targeted efforts.
a. Under the Preschool Outreach Programme, we reach out to low-income families with children who are 3 years old and above to encourage them to enrol early in preschool and support their regular attendance.
b. For low-income families and their children, we have also introduced KidSTART to provide more holistic upstream support.
i. You saw the video at the National Day Rally. It is a good programme. We will be expanding KidSTART to more children, as PM had said, and I will elaborate on this next month.
c. For children with developmental needs, we have made early intervention services more affordable and customised to different needs. We will also be moving early intervention to ECDA, and are studying how to make preschools more inclusive.
Making Quality Preschools More Affordable and Accessible
7. We will now go further. The Government is committing to raise our support for preschool to be on par with general education, housing, and healthcare – in terms of the overall affordability, accessibility, and quality of services for Singaporeans. This will take time, but let me briefly lay out the steps we are taking in the near- to medium-term.
8. First, we will increase preschool subsidies significantly from next year, by raising the income ceiling for subsidy eligibility, and enhancing the quantum of subsidy for each income tier.
a. Preschool expenses will fall, particularly for middle-income working families who receive fewer subsidies today.
i. Take for example, a dual-income family earning $8,000 per month.
ii. This family currently does not qualify for Additional Subsidy, and pays up to $470 per month for full-day childcare at an Anchor Operator after Basic Subsidy.
iii. With the enhanced Additional Subsidy next year, they will pay $280 per month, which is significantly lower.
iv. And this does not yet factor in the use of any Child Development Account (CDA) funds, including the CDA First Step grant and co-matching savings, which families can tap on to defray their out-of-pocket expenses.
b. The Government will also enhance the already significant subsidies for low-income families, so that more families will qualify to pay the highly subsidised rate of $3 per month1 for full-day childcare at an Anchor Operator, or $1 per month for kindergartens run by Anchor Operators or MOE.
i. Those who are still unable to pay can apply for financial assistance. For instance, start-up grants (SUG)2 are available to defray the initial costs of enrolling in preschool, such as uniforms and deposit.
9. Second, we will have more government-supported preschool places.
a. By around 2025, 80% of preschoolers should have a place in preschools run by Anchor Operators, Partner Operators and MOE.
i. At 80%, this proportion will be broadly comparable to what is provided in the housing and healthcare sectors.
b. More Anchor Operator preschools will be built in areas of demand, especially estates with young families.
i. We will continue to set aside void deck space for preschools, which are convenient for parents living in the vicinity. These will also be larger to enable better design.
ii. Where demand requires, we will also develop large child care centres such as this one which we are in today, built and operated by one of the Anchor Operators, My First Skool. It specialises in the early years (age 4 and below), and also emphasises outdoor learning as you can see from its design features.
c. For Partner Operators, we will expand the scheme to more childcare operators, as well as a small number of quality kindergartens, in 2021.
i. Kindergartens that join as Partner Operators will have to meet conditions to ensure affordability, quality, and accessibility for all segments of the public.
10. Third, in the medium term, as we expand the government-supported share to 80%,
a. We aim to lower fee caps at government-supported preschools so that working families with a child in full-day childcare will pay around the equivalent of primary school fees plus after-school student care fees, which is currently around $300 per month.
b. Lower- to middle-income working families will continue to receive more help, and pay even less with means-tested preschool subsidies.
c. As a first step, we will slightly lower the fee cap for childcare Partner Operators when the new five-year term for the Partner Operator scheme starts in January 2021.
11. With these enhancements, we hope to reduce concerns about the cost of putting children through preschool, and that working parents will have greater peace of mind knowing they are supported in their parenthood journey.
a. By ensuring access to affordable, good quality preschool, we also give every child a good start in life, regardless of background. This is how the Government will build a society of opportunities for all, at every stage of life.
12. I will now hand the time over to Senior Minister of State Amy Khor, who will speak on the healthcare enhancements.
Minister Masagos' Closing Speech for 2R of Constitutional (Amendment) Bill, 29 November 2022
I thank Members for putting forth their perspectives and reasoning on this very important debate. In this House, members have reflected the complexity of the issue and the diversity of our stakeholders. Something a Court process will not achieve.
Opening Speech by Minister Masagos Zulkifli for Second Reading Of Constitutional Amendment
The Government will protect the definition of marriage from being challenged in the courts on constitutional grounds.
Speech by MOS Sun Xueling for Debate on Second Reading of Constitution Amendment and Penal Code (Amendment) Bills
Let us be united in wanting Singapore to be a home for all, a tolerant and inclusive society, where all Singaporeans feel a sense of dignity and have collective confidence in our future.

Single charged pion production in charged-current muon neutrino interactions with carbon is studied using data collected in the K2K long-baseline neutrino experiment. The mean energy of the incident muon neutrinos is 1.3 GeV. The data used in this analysis are mainly from a fully active scintillator detector, SciBar. The cross section for single π+ production in the resonance region (W<2GeV/c2) relative to the charged-current quasielastic cross section is found to be 0.734-0.153+0.140. The energy-dependent cross section ratio is also measured. The results are consistent with a previous experiment and the prediction of our model. © 2008 The American Physical Society.

A Note From Our Publishers
Giving Voice is a love letter to our community. Everything we do at Big Picture Initiative, we do out of love. We believe in arts education opportunities for all, spanning in age from children in our schools and community centers to folks in retirement communities. From the 50-foot tall "Abraham Blue" mural on the Peoria County Courthouse to enhance the visual vibrancy of our city, to our new endeavor, Giving Voice, we are showing what we love about our community. It's all the nooks and crannies, the highs and lows, and the diversity that makes us who we are. We also know in our hearts that the people of Central Illinois can make our community a home with a bright future, and our youth are an essential part of building that future.
We believe the arts give students a voice—a voice that is often hidden in the quest for test scores and metric achievements. The arts fill a void for students to give them a platform for self-expression and contribute to their environment. Big Picture Initiative's first arts education programs were based on visual arts, and the team has decided that now is the time to expand into communication arts. By gaining experience in being more effective communicators and having a public audience, we help prepare the next generation for their place in the future.
Through Giving Voice students will cover subjects that young people are passionate about: social justice, racial equity, the environment, living during a pandemic, adapting to the virtual world, finding employment during a job drought, learning to be influencers, and pitching in to improve to our community. Giving students a voice to address our community's most pressing needs gives them an opportunity to experience real-world situations where learning is relevant and applied.
The writers in our first issue were selected because they care about community, too. We posed the question "What does our community need?" Unlike many of the voices that are broadcasted every day, the students didn't comment on potholes or taxes, but on concepts of kindness and understanding. We are proud to feature their voices in our first issue.
Please join us in this act of building community.

Watch: First Trailer For Sex Comedy 'The Overnight' With Adam Scott And Jason Schwartzman
Watch: First Trailer For Sex Comedy 'The Overnight' With Adam Scott And Jason Schwartzman
Kevin Jagernauth
Moving to a new place and trying to forge new connections can be tough. And it's arguably even more difficult when you're married and raising a child. Where do you find the time to meet new people and make a connection? Well, some between the sheets action helps forge those bonds in the new sex comedy "The Overnight," and the first trailer is here.
Premiering in January at the Sundance Film Festival, the movie stars Adam Scott, Taylor Schilling, Jason Schwartzman and Judith Godrèche and follows Alex and Emily, who move from Seattle to Los Angeles and meet Kurt and Charlotte. But an invitation to family pizza night soon takes a wild turn.
A movie we called "hysterically funny," "The Overnight" opens on June 19th. Watch below.

Everyone would like to be wealthy. The desire to build wealth can cause some people to invest in speculative ventures that are not very practical investments. Speculative investments can seem like bargains that will yield great returns. The truth is that many of these "investments" are not the gold mines that they are reported to be and can cause many investors to lose their money.
Penny stocks are fool's gold. They are bright, shiny, and look like great investments. Investors often find that these so called "cheap" investments are actually very expensive. A penny stock is a stock that trades in the single digits. Companies like Blockbuster and Circuit City were once penny stocks before declaring bankruptcy over the past two years. Penny stocks look like great values because of their low stock prices but these stocks often trade for $2 or $3 for a good reason. They are normally very flawed companies with lots of debt. These companies face the prospect of delisting, continued price drops, and bankruptcy. Penny stocks are investments that are best left to speculators.
Coin collecting is a great hobby but is a terrible investment strategy. The problem with coin collecting is that too many people do it. Millions of Americans engage in coin collecting. An important part of investing is to avoid following the crowd. The value of most hard assets is based on two things. One is the investment's scarcity and the other is their usefulness. While coins are definitely useful, it is tough to find ones that are scarce. Also, because the United States Treasury and coin shops add a premium to the price of their coins, collectors often start in the red and have to hold a coin for years just to try and break even. When a collector finally does sell the coin, they often don't get as much money as they should. Even with all this said, there are still some reasons to collect coins.
It would be great if we could all catch the 70thhome run ball hit by Mark McGwire or find a mint condition Michael Jordan rookie card. These items have value and could be sold to help you pay off your debt. Collecting sports memorabilia used to be a profitable hobby because sports enthusiasts could sell their collectibles for cash. Today, it is too difficult to make money selling memorabilia in the marketplace because are just too many people collecting sports memorabilia for the sole purpose of selling it.
Have you ever watched QVC or Home Shopping Network late at night and seen a host peddling commemorative plates or figures? These items are always pitched as investments that have the potential to increase in value. The truth is that very few of these items have any value outside of sentimental value to the collector. Items like these are fine to purchase, but just don't expect them to finance your retirement dreams.
Are there any other items that you would consider speculative investments? Have you ever invested in one of these items only to see its value plummet? Have you succeeded in any of these speculative investments? I'd love to hear your stories!


Multimedia tablet Nexus 7 has been so popular that Google is not calculated demand and temporarily stopped taking orders in the Google Play, reports Guardian. And the deficit has arisen only in one model, which, according to the source, Internet-based Company did not expect.
As reported Google Nexus 7 16GB model is receiving most preorders. It is an older model of the Nexus 7 and there was a shortage, although Google has counted on the amount of local disk space for users will not be very important. After all, everything you need can be stored in the cloud, and preference will be given to cheaper 8-gigabyte model.
As shown, the user still important to have more local disk space, and they are willing to pay for it. Especially in the Google Nexus 7 tablet features to increase its volume with a memory card no. Recall that in the cost of 8 – and 16-gigabyte model Nexus 7 is $ 200 and $ 250 respectively and in the UK – £ 159 and £ 199. At this time, Google has not commented on the situation with the deficit. Whatever it shows Nexus 7 is in an extreme demand.

Вадим Михайлович Бєлоусов (, , Ленінград), відоміший під псевдонімом Віллі Конн (), іноді Віллі Густав Конн () — радянський та російський письменник-фантаст, який розпочинав як автор написаної під справжнім імнеем науково-популярної та дитячої літератури, проте став відомим у 80—90-х роках ХХ століття як автор серії авантюрно-фантастичних пригодницьких повістей з елементами еротики і сексу, які видавались під псевдонімом «Віллі Конн».

Біографія
Вадим Михайлович Бєлоусов народився в 1941 році в Ленінграді. Навчався у рідному місті, працював за спеціальністю у сфері стандартизації. Початково публікувався в спеціалізованому журналі «Стандарты и качество», а в 1971—1973 роках в дитячому журналі «Искорка» опублікував цикл статей для дітей про стандартизацію. У 1974 році всі ці оповідання увійшли до першої науково-популярної книги автора «Цікава стандартизація». Пізніше у 70—80-х роках ХХ століття Бєлоусов опублікував низку науково-популярних книг для підлітків різноманітної тематики. Вадим Бєлоусов захоплювався автогонками, й у 1984 році опублікував книгу нарисів про автоспорт «На іншому боці страху». У 1984 році він також опублікував свою першу художню книгу — пригодницьку повість для підлітків "Операція «Рептилія». До 1989 року письменник недолюблював фантастику, існують свідки, що ніби саме він сказав Борису Стругацькому, що фантастика — це недолітература, яку пишуть
шахраї для ідіотів. Проте в 1989 році Вадим Бєлоусов різко змінив спосіб життя, створивши книговидавницький кооператив «Рондо» на основі дитячого журналу «Искорка», який припинив своє існування. Натомість на його видавничих потужностях розпочали друкуватися фантастичні повісті на газетному папері в м'яких обкладинках великими тиражами, основним мотивом яких стали пригоди іншопланетян та іншопланетних агентів на Землі з елементами еротики, та навіть відвертих сексуальних стосунків. Сам Бєлоусов був автором цих творів, які видавав під псевдонімом «Віллі Конн». Героєм більшості цих творів є приватний детектив Майк Норман, який має чорний пояс з карате, та володіє винятковою привабливістю для жінок. Першою повістю з цього циклу стала «Лілі», видана в 1989 році тиражем у 500 тисяч екземплярів. Наступною повістю стала «Терорист СНІДу», яка є найвідомішою з повістей, написаних автором. Після її написання ім'я автора Віллі Конн стало прозивним, його постійно критикували за надмірну спощеність сюжету та надмірний опис сцен сексу в творах, а також вважали його твори зразком найгіршої літератури. Хоча псевдонім автора давав підстави припустити, що він походить з якоїсь англомовної країни, та й сам Бєлоусов випускав брошурки з вигаданою біографією Віллі Конна, де повідомлялось, що він є відомим письменником, пов'язаним із американською книговидавничою фірмою, лауреатом престижних літературних премій, автогонщиком, каскадером, а також борцем проти іншопланетних шпигунів, проте радянські читачі швидко зрозуміли, що за цим псевдонімом ховається їх співвітчизник. У Віллі Конна з'явився навіть послідовник, який писав під псевдонімом «Віллі Конн-молодший». Щопрада, великі тиражі видань приносили й часткове визнання та відомість як автору. У 1990 році представники хабаровського фензину присудили Віллі Конну премію «Еротиконн», проте цю премію так ніхто й не отримав. Уже в 90-х роках ще під цим же псевдонімом автор видав серію творів про людожерів; у кінці 90-х років також під новим псевдонімом «Гр. Орлов» написав низку творів у стилі фантастики жахів. На 1998 рік анонсувався вихід роману «Той, що зрадив смерті», проте він так і не вийшов. Припускається, що автор до 1998 року випускав твори також і під псевдонімами «Іван Яновський» і «Ян Бєлоусов». Після 1998 року даних за творчу діяльність Вадима Бєлоусова немає.

We used to use cotton T-shirts to cycle in, but found that they didn't dry very quickly and really needed ironing to look anything.
We then used cycling tops made from 'Coolmax' material which are easy to wash, dry quickly and need no ironing, however they had a downside and that was they did need washing each day otherwise they started to hum a bit.
We now use Berghaus shirts which are made from ARGENTIUM® fabric which wick sweat away well, are easy to wash, dry quickly and need no ironing. They have a Polygiene® coating which certainly works to mitigate the odour problem if you can't wash them for a couple of days.
