The Bike Project: Cycling Is Changing the Lives of Refugees in London
By Monica Buck January 18, 2017 at 12:45 pm
Asylum seekers in the UK are given about £36 a week for living expenses while their cases are being processed. Given the fact that they are not allowed to work and a weekly public transport pass costs £21, the refugees are living on just £2 per day. They need the mobility, because there are food and clothes available for asylum seekers in London, but these resources are spread around the whole city.
Jem Stein, a student of politics at the London School of Economics, learnt about the difficulties refugees face while volunteering as a mentor at a local help centre. He was helping a young asylum seeker from Darfur, who had to attend regular legal meetings, which increased his need for mobility even more. Stein decided to solve the problem in a creative manner.
"My brother gave me an old bike which I refurbished and gave to the asylum seeker I was mentoring, and I saw that it made a huge difference to his life," the student told Al Jazeera.
From that moment, Stein started collecting old and rusty bicycles and turning them into working machines in his backyard. The interest in his work was huge so he quickly moved to a small workshop and launched "The Bike Project". He plans to donate nearly 1,000 bicycles to refugees around London and was named the UK Social Entrepreneur of the Year by Lloyds Bank.
You can support his non-profit organisation HERE.

This is the bad news for UC Browser user that Google has removed UC Browser from its official app store (Play Store). On the other Alibaba owned UC browser, achieved the crown of 500 million downloads in previous month. However you will still able to find UC Mini browser and UC news. After searching in the Play Store we are amazed to see that there is absence of Chinese app UC browser. Which that has been downloaded by 100 millions user alone in India.
After asking to Google its has been cleared that UC Browser were sending personal data to a server in China. Although the Google has not told reason behind removal. Some of the news reports that UC browser used to send peoples personal data, location to a remote server in China.
A twitter user named Mike Ross, claims that he works for UC Browser and tweeted that he got a mail on 14 Nov 2017 in which it has been said that.
UC Browser was temporarily removed from play store for 30 days because it used "Misleading" and "Unhealthy" methods of promotion to increase installs.
By the Tuesday evening the users of UC browser has reported that the browser is unavailable in the Play Store. The founder of Android Police named Artem Russakovskii also wrote an article in which is published a part of email which he received from UC Union. As per email it is says that there is some kind of squabble between Google and UCWeb.
In the final words we have to wait for clear views from Google. Till now it is unclear if that Google will re-again allow UCWeb to published its browser in Play Store.

"It's nice to know there are other job opportunities out there because I think a lot of students are expected to get a career out of a (four-year) college path. Maybe that's not the right track for them."
By: Becky Atnip November 29, 2021
Brook Reynolds has some advice for high school students: Embrace the opportunities that PCC offers. You never know where they may lead.
Reynolds graduated from PCC Southwest in 2016 and now has a successful artistic welding business, Artistic Fabrications. Like many, however, her journey to this point wasn't a direct one. As a successful high school student, she felt pressure to attend a four-year university, so she did – and struggled.
Reynolds' mom recognized her daughter's artistic talents and suggested she try a welding class at PCC. After some hiccups, Reynolds found her groove and completed the welding program. While she recognizes her roundabout path is what led her to running her own business, Reynolds believes would have been better off if she had been encouraged to explore different trades when she was still in high school.
"If I was a high school student today hearing about someone who took the track I did, it would have a huge impact on me," she says. "It's nice to know there are other job opportunities out there because I think a lot of students are expected to get a career out of a (four-year) college path. Maybe that's not the right track for them."
While she did not have access to PCC's concurrent enrollment program when she was in high school, Reynolds encourages others to get as much exposure as they can to different careers before graduating.
"If I were giving advice to someone thinking of going into the trades, I'd tell them to trust that instinct," she said. "Even if you do take a traditional university route, take as many side roads as you can. Maybe you only take one welding class in high school but then you become a doctor after you learn you have a steady hand from that welding class. Explore all your options!"

RIP Mary, a cabaret dancer known throughout the saloon for her provocative high kicks and tantalizing poses. Then one particular night, she had her audience whipped up into such a frenzy that the mother of all bar fights broke out. And as a result, she's now heading up a very macabre variety show with death.
If Poppy Mary wins the round, the player controlling Poppy Mary will win 1 Pillz, maximum 11. The effect will be felt at the end of each of the following rounds. (If two Dope are applied, the second will replace the first as soon as the latter takes effect).
wait until piranias get this ability .
Dope! The first of her kind.
If you win with her you gain a pill every round!
O damn. This is a good one alright.
Poppy Mary is the kind of card that I almost feel like i'm wasting my time reviewing, because she is THAT strong. Day or Night, use her on turn 1,2 or 3 and she will ALWAYS show up. Max 11 is barely a problem, calculating how much you pill with her should easily take care of this issue. Poppy has unbelievable synergy with any pill manip and attack manip clan. She sets up and edge for your low pill cards, while herself is built to be a beast on big pill fights. Lowish damage to make up for the fact that she dictates the pace of the game.
Whilst your opponent has full control of his pillz and can pill accordingly to counterplay consume, with Dope, since you are the one gaining pillz, it allows you to build up your own strategy and maximize the potential of the ability. Since you get 1 per round, it's a card that requires thought and in practice might be harder to use than in theory (So my rating might not actually translate to how she ends up playing out).
Against SoA, she's still a powerful wall. Against SoB, her raw stats should allow you to get the job done and win the round whilst putting you in a nice spot, as long as you don't underpill or overpill massively.
I've seen this card used in countless matches by now, and almost every player fails to use her properly.
Listen: the Dope ability only provides you with one pillz at the end of each turn. So, yes, you technically do get 4 "extra" pillz by the end of the fourth turn, BUT there's some downsides to the ability: first thing to consider, the last pillz you gain is useless (as you obtain it at the end of the 4th round, aka once the fight's over), so she only gives you 3 pillz if you use her on the first turn, 2 on the second, etc.
Secondly, gaining pillz after a turn ends is NOT the same as automatically having the pillz in your hand after the turn you play with her: this is important when, say, you're facing La Junta, Fang Pi Clan, Kolos CR, or any other possibly 1-or-2HKOs. If you've played her with 4-5 pillz in the first turn thinking "oh I didn't waste any pillz, I still technically have the 12", you're in for a surprise from these clans.
Am I saying it's a bad card? Not in the slightest, it's actually pretty good as a wall and for pillz gain when used correctly. I've just seen so many players use her 1st round with 5-6 pillz, only to face my 0-pilled Steve (which means you've dealt me 1-2 dmg depending on time of the day, AND wasted anywhere from 2 to 5 pillz depending on the other cards in my hand). It's a god card, but choose your strategy wisely considering the risks it entails. Oh, and she's also an excellent bluff if you're not facing Rescue, Uppers, or Roots/GHEIST too, as most players think she'll be used overpilled to make use of her ability.
This card is just busted. put 3 pills on it and someone will put on 8 to prevent the high pill/pillz return strat. Put 8 pillz on it, someone will put 3 to try conserve pills for later rounds. So sad. And if you match the pillz you will lose anyway because of the retarded GhostTown bonus and stupid 8 base power they gave this card. She should be banned in T1 T2 and most EFC ranks because it's just way too overpowered.

MOSS HYSTERIA: Best (way to) Buy?
In the same edition as a story on President Obama's woes about stagnant job growth, and a story on the irony of social sites not offering personal customer support by phone, The NY Times had a small piece today about Best Buy laying off 1.4% of its job force.
"Best Buy is trying to combat showrooming at its stores, as consumers test out products there, then go home and buy them cheaper online or at discounters."
What are the options for keeping the customer satisfied, and competing in a groupon-tinged bargain-based world? Seems to me that we all want to still see and touch the goods. And we all want customer service to understand the goods. And we all want a bargain...and are empowered to find one or risk buyers remorse.
So where does that leave a retailer like Best Buy? What's in it for them for providing the venue and the service and missing out on the sale if the cost of bricks and mortar means not competing on price with online retailers?
Well, we could look at Horn and Hardart... If you could browse the goods on a basic display level and buy at a competitive price...but to touch and feel and actually get customer support and interaction you paid an up charge would you do it? Think of the automat with people. Insert a little more and the helping comes out. Make it easy to comparison shop, too.
Maybe add the virtual mall touch that the Japanese have created, where we all go to a wall of online images and select from there?
All I know is something's gotta give. There has to be a happy medium for a better way to buy.
Excellent question...and I like where you're going with a solution. Love your marketing expertise! The current Best Buy solution isn't going to make things better...customers will just get frustrated with fewer people to help them and walk away with a bad feeling for the store.
I'm not sure the Japanese virtual mall would satisfy people's desire to touch and feel and see products (idea later), but I think you're dead on with the Automat idea. Best Buy could provide a dual-tiered solution.
Challenge: Someone online is ALWAYS going to beat Best Buy or any other retailer on price...they need to adapt and make price less of a make-or-break factor.
Ideas: 1) Online: Best Buy is already catering to the "in a hurry" or "techno-geek" customer with their order on line and pick up at store program. No muss, no fuss...you know what you want, order it and pick it up.
2) Your Automat Idea expanded: (I had in mind the Macy's idea from "Miracle on 34th Street"..."Macy's is the helpful store...") Minimize the floor space the games, the music, etc. take up...you could use the virtual wall idea from Japan as a replacement. Consumers find the game/cd/etc they want via a kiosk, enter their name, order it and it is delivered to the checkout.
They put on additional in-store & behind the scenes personnel. These people are trained for a minimum of a week on the in-store merchandise & consultant selling before they interact with customers. Then they have weekly update classes (for which they're paide) to introduce new products. For each person there is a dedicated computer spread around the store with a specially designed "Get the BEST buy with Best Buy" (ok, maybe a little corny for a name :-)) program that has two seats.
Fill up the floor space with electronics inventory that isn't crammed into 3 shelves. The personnel are there for answering questions, showing the products, explaining what all the specs mean and matching the product with the consumer needs and actual uses. Most of us can look at the online spec comparison, but how many REALLY know which specs are important and which are just techno fluff?
When the customer has their questions answered the associate gives them a price and offers to check other retailers (brick & mortar and retail) thru the comparison shopping program. This program could just scrape info from the top 10 or so sites and automatically update. The associate then shows side-by-side comparison.
1) Saving time & instant gratification...if the others prices are close to Best Buy's (say less than 5%), they offer to match the price and the customer can have their product today.
2) Free Geek Squad. If the prices are a litter farther apart, give them free installation by the Geek Squad within 24 hours. Takes away the hassle and the headaches.
3) Free extended warranties. I know they are making some $ from this, but personally, I very rarely ever buy these. In listening to consumer experts they seem to agree...most of the 1-2 year warranties are wastes of consumer money because relatively few problems occur in those times. The consumer does perceive some monetary and definitely some security value.
Wow Craig, what a comment! Great thoughts.

Asia Series
China Pt I. The rise and fall of the Middle Kingdom
Asia in the Next 10 years.
Asian Pioneers' exclusive Asia series.
By Rachel Bui
Published on: 27/02/2019
At Asian Pioneers, we are always experimenting with new concepts and storytelling approaches. This series on Asia will be updated as further information, ideas and feedback land in our inbox. This initiative is an effort to build a shared understanding and to promote dialogue about Asia.
We are almost two decades into the 21st century. Never before has our civilisation achieved so much remarkable economic, social and technological progress as it did over the last century. The 20th century saw many political changes, particularly in Asia, where modern economies and nations emerged from old colonies and empires. Japan, Taiwan, South Korea and China transformed from self-sufficient, agricultural co-ops to global manufacturing and technological powerhouses over the span of a few decades. After two centuries of being dormant, the Chinese economy roared ahead, leading modern Asia into the new millennia. With India and Southeast Asia as emerging economies with great potential, the rise of the Asian century is a narrative that we think is worthwhile to unpick and analyse.
With over 4.5 billion people, Asia currently has 60 percent of the world population. By 2050, this figure is estimated to increase to 5.2 billion people. The Asian region has some of the densest cities on the planet: Manila, Mumbai, Hong Kong, Calcutta, Macau and many more. The Asian economy consists of 49 different nation-states and another six countries that are partially in the Asian region. The combined current GDP in the Asia Pacific region alone in 2017 is $27.3 trillion, more than a third of the 2017 global current GDP value of $80.7 trillion. The GDP of the region increased by $22.2 trillion (4.3 fold) from 1990 to 2017. While East Asia and China have started to slow down, India and Southeast Asia are speeding ahead, driving growth in the region and the rest of the world.
After 30 years of miraculous growth in the second half of the 20th century, China is now the second largest economy in the world, only after the United States. While China is now the world's leading manufacturer, it is also competing with the US on many advanced fronts in areas such as space, artificial intelligence and life sciences. Tech giants such as Baidu, Alibaba and Tencent (collectively known as BAT) are pioneering innovative technologies in e-commerce, logistics and gaming while investing in some of the world's largest tech companies such as Epic, Snap, Lyft and Magic Leap. Alibaba and Tencent also provide early-stage funding into Southeast Asian tech startups such as Tokopedia, SEA and Go Jek, adding the needed fuel to ignite the Southeast Asia burgeoning startup scene. However, everything comes with a trade-off. Environmental and air pollution have increasingly become significant concerns for China as the country's economic engine continues to maintain its momentum while transitioning to a greener economy.
Japan was the leader in Asia when its economic miracle took off in the 70s and 80s. Companies such as Sony, Toyota, Honda, Yamaha and Nintendo transformed local Japanese brands into global household names by exporting innovative electronics, quality cars and musical instruments into the homes of middle-class families in the West. After the Japanese financial asset bubble bursted in the early 90s, Japan moved into the lost decades and economic growth stalled ever since.
While Japan has transitioned from an export-led manufacturing economy to one focused on high-quality services and design, its traditional culture and the Keiretsu industry structure have not changed much since the post-war years. With an ageing economy and an insular Galapagos syndrome, Japan has struggled to innovate and find growth in the new millennia. Fortunately, companies such as Softbank and Rakuten have been a driving force of innovation in the country. The founder of Softbank, Masayoshi Son is also one of the most prominent Japanese businessmen in the country. Though these companies are household names in Asia, their collective impact is still relatively small compares to the much larger established Keiretsu system in the Japanese economy. The land of the rising sun will need to open up to further reform in the next decade by relaxing its closed migration policies and change its perspective on the role of women in Japanese society if it wants to rediscover its entrepreneurial past.
India has been growing at an average annual growth of around 7 per cent over the last 20 years, it has the second largest population in the world after China. Diversified conglomerates such as TATA, Reliance and Adani are constructing nation-building infrastructures, connecting cities and changing the shape of the rural-urban landscape. These conglomerates are vital economic players in the Indian economy. Internationally, Tata is known for building affordable cars but is also the local operator of Starbucks through a joint venture with its US counterpart. Similar to Chinese companies, Indian companies are also venturing out to the West in countries such as Canada and Australia to acquire foreign natural resources to meet the increasing demands of the Indian economy. While India's influence is growing internationally, India still has many domestic challenges ahead. Uniquely to India is its caste system, which continues to be an impediment to the growth of the nation as it restricts upward social mobility and talented people from pursuing the best opportunities the country has to offer. Fortunately, its diaspora — many who are world leading executives — and Western-educated student returnees would provide the much needed change and leadership for the country moving into the next decade.
Southeast Asia has finally entered the Gilded Age following the decades of poverty after gaining independence from colonial powers. Similarly to India, the Southeast Asian region is rapidly developing with an average 5-7% growth annually. Cities all over the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) countries are modernising at a breathtaking pace with new buildings, industries and infrastructures appearing in the skylines of Ho Chi Minh City, Manila, Bangkok and Jakarta every day. The region has also leapfrogged earlier technological developments adopted in the West, bypassing innovations such as credit cards for mobile wallets instead. Young entrepreneurs provide the much needed change into old industries such as banking and retail by inventing novel and useful technologies. Nevertheless, Southeast Asia is still largely uncompetitive due to the significant influence of state-owned enterprises. To follow in the footsteps of the Asian tigers, ASEAN governments will need to play a much more proactive role in the promotion of free trade, make the necessary reforms to boost foreign direct investments and increase the productivity of their respective nations. The beacon for Southeast Asia is in its young workforce, with more than half of the ASEAN population below 30 years of age. This group will be key consumers in the decades to come and they will drive the future prosperity of the region.
Asia is an exciting region with much potential in the 21st century. Continuous stable growth is essential to political stability. China, Japan and the rest of the Asian tigers demonstrate that the successful manufacturing and export-led growth model can lift hundreds of millions of people out of poverty within a few decades. Nevertheless, the Asian region is prone to financial crises due to euphoric growth. Governments need to establish regulatory frameworks to reduce reckless behaviour in private markets as an asset burst could set the region back by a decade or two as evident by the Asian financial crisis in the late 90s. Throughout history, empires had been won and lost as a result of macroeconomic instability coupled with natural disasters. Climate change is another issue that various governments in Asia will need to be well prepared for as they move forward into the next decade as perverse weather conditions may drive flood, famines and riots.
Despite these challenges, we think the upcoming decade in Asia is incredibly exciting. There are many opportunities to innovate and introduce world-changing technologies to solve some of humanity's greatest problems at scale. With some of the brightest talent coming from Asia, we believe that this region is worth paying closer attention.
In this Asia series, Asian Pioneers will highlight some of the key Asian economies — their history, successes and the challenges ahead. ∎

The back of the mirror on my medicine cabinet is chipping. Is there any kind of product or paint that I can use to repair it?
Not really. The only way to a repair would be to strip the whole mirror and use Rustoleum Mirror Effect Spray paint.
I need to repair a large bathroom mirror as well. I'm going to try the Rustolium! Much cheaper than replacing a mirror of that size!

GOP candidates: Bring waste to Nevada
With Yucca site nearly dead, Republicans try to keep it alive

Pacific Northwest activist Gerry Pollet could not believe his eyes.
Pollet, who monitors the cleanup at the Hanford Nuclear Reservation on the Columbia River in Washington and has sometimes made common cause with Nevada anti-Yucca Mountain dump activists, found a Las Vegas Review-Journal story on the web about Nevada candidates calling for bringing waste to Yucca Mountain just as the state seemed on the verge of winning its long running battle against the dump there.
"Several Republican candidates—including leading U.S. Senate candidates Danny Tarkanian, Sue Lowden and Sharron Angle—have expressed support for studying or experimenting with reprocessing, a method of extracting useful fuel from radioactive waste," the newspaper reported. "Two Republican gubernatorial candidates are also open to the idea, despite steadfast opposition from the Nevada political establishment that stymied the plan to store waste at Yucca Mountain."
For a quarter of a century, Nevada has been fighting to keep the mountain in Nye County from becoming a dump for high level wastes, mainly from power plants.
"I wouldn't have predicted that statewide candidates in Nevada would be calling for sending the same high-level waste to Yucca Mountain that the state just defeated," Pollet said. "That's the danger of candidates or incumbents listening to industry or political ideologues from outside Nevada."
Is it the same waste? Pollet says the end goal—reprocessing instead of storage—may be different, but the waste that would be brought to Nevada is exactly the same stuff Nevada has been trying to keep out.
"It really is the very same high-level nuclear waste!" he said in an email message. "The reprocessing proposal is to reprocess the fuel rods from reactors, melting them down to extract Pu [plutonium] and U [uranium], rather than simply burying the fuel rods in a deep geologic repository."
Republican U.S. Senate candidate Tarkanian has the most clearly spelled-out view on bringing nuclear waste to Nevada.
"Reprocessing plants have been utilized all around the world and have excellent safety track records," he wrote in a position paper on his website. "Yet I find it bizarre that, as one of the leading nuclear energy producers in the world, the U.S. does not have a single reprocessing site. The [Nye County] location is ideal and the transition process could be started easily, the result being a new industry that Nevada can take a lead in. Turning Yucca Mountain into a nuclear reprocessing facility will create thousands of jobs for Nevadans, generate hundreds of millions of dollars of much needed revenue for the State, and turn UNLV and Nevada into the leading research institutions in this field in the world."
Tarkanian's position paper, posted on his own site, was later picked up and posted on the Carbon Capture Report, a nuclear power industry site.
GOP primary frontrunner Sue Lowden is open to the idea of reprocessing. In the Review-Journal story, reporter Benjamin Spillman quoted her saying, "I think we could explore reprocessing."
Republican Senate candidate Sharron Angle takes a similar stance. Republican candidate for governor Mike Montandon supports bringing waste to Nevada for reprocessing. His opponents Jim Gibbons and Brian Sandoval have not committed themselves.
U.S. Sen. Harry Reid, a Democrat seeking reelection, said he supports new uses for the Yucca site "other than nuclear waste."
Democratic candidate for governor Rory Reid opposes bringing waste to Nevada for either storage or reprocessing.
Physicist Edwin Lyman of the Union of Concerned Scientists said bringing nuclear waste to Nevada for reprocessing would be even more dangerous than bringing it for storage.
"Reprocessing spent fuel is extraordinarily expensive, and it greatly increases the risk of a significant radiological incident that could contaminate large areas." he said. "Spent fuel, after all, is a mostly solid material. Reprocessing requires puncturing the fuel cladding, which releases radioactive gases like krypton-85, and requires the fuel to be dissolved in acid, creating large volumes of highly radioactive liquid wastes that must be stabilized. … This is a much more dangerous activity than simply storing and burying spent fuel."
He added that the reprocessing itself would create waste products, which would just create pressure to reopen the Yucca dump project.
"But perhaps the biggest reason why Nevada should not welcome a reprocessing plant is simply because there is nowhere for the waste to go," he said. "The plant would act like a magnet for all the spent fuel around the country, just like Yucca Mountain would have. But reprocessing doesn't make nuclear waste disappear—it just converts it to different forms. Nevada would be saddled not only with the high-level waste left over from reprocessing—as Washington state and South Carolina now are stuck with defense nuclear wastes—but also large volumes of low-level waste and plutonium-contaminated waste."
In the 1980s, Nevada succeeded in closing one of the nation's three low-level nuclear waste dumps, at Beatty.
Reprocessing would also increase the amount of transport of nuclear waste, which Nevada has portrayed as one of the dangers of the Yucca dump project.
At an energy and environment conference in Phoenix on Feb. 1, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission chair Gregory Jaczko was asked why the United States didn't reprocess its waste like France. He called this a public policy myth.
"Nuclear power has some information that has mythology to it," Jaczko he said. "One of the best developed myths out there is that France has solved the waste problem. France has not solved the waste problem."
If they have, he asked, why is France—like the United States—trying to solve its waste problem by looking for a Yucca Mountain-style site? He said France reuses its fuel once, but then must find a way to dispose of it. And France generates about half the waste the U.S. generates.
What none of the Nevada candidates who support reprocessing have addressed is what purpose, other than creating jobs, would be served by reprocessing in view of its expense and the threat of weapons proliferation, which is why the U.S. stopped reprocessing in the first place.
Reprocessing was ended by President Carter on April 7, 1977. He said he took the step to reduce the spread of nuclear weapons.
"The U.S. is deeply concerned about the consequences for all nations of a further spread of nuclear weapons or explosive capabilities," Carter said. "We believe that these risks would be vastly increased by the further spread of sensitive technologies which entail direct access to plutonium, highly enriched uranium, or other weapons usable material. The question I have had under review from my first day in office is how can that be accomplished without forgoing the tangible benefits of nuclear power."
Carter said commercial reprocessing and recycling of plutonium produced by power plants was included in his order.
Reprocessing would also drive the cost of electricity to very high levels. In July 12, 2005, congressional testimony, Harvard and University of Maryland physicist Steve Fetter said, "There is widespread agreement, in the United States and abroad, that reprocessing currently is significantly more expensive than direct disposal. This is because reprocessing itself is an expensive process, and also because the MOX fuel produced using the recovered plutonium is more expensive, at current uranium prices, than the low-enriched uranium that is normally used to fuel reactors. Last year, operators of U.S. nuclear reactors on average paid $33 per kilogram for uranium. At this uranium price, reprocessing would have to cost less than $400 per kilogram of spent fuel in order to be competitive with direct disposal. For comparison, we estimate that reprocessing in a new U.S. facility, similar to those in the United Kingdom and France, would cost over $2,000 per kilogram."

Q: for i in xrange() not running the complete script I have two sliders:
Sl_01 = cntrl[c4d.ID_USERDATA,13]/100
Sl_02 = cntrl[c4d.ID_USERDATA,15]/100

I want to move the Points from lists like this:
for i in xrange(len(thr_tip_init)):

           pitch_list.append(pitch_dest - thr_tip_init)
           crest_list.append(crest_dest - thr_tip_init)

           pitchM_pos = Sl_01 * pitch_list + thr_tip_init
           thr_tip.SetPoint(i,pitchM_pos)

           crestM_pos = Sl_02 * crest_list + thr_tip_init
           thr_tip.SetPoint(i,crestM_pos)

           thr_tip.Message(c4d.MSG_UPDATE)

My problem is that it works but only the last script for the Sliders work, not both.

A: Presumably the second call to thr_tip.SetPoint discards whatever changes were made on the for call. Should one of the thr_tips be a different variable?

A: Thanks Eric.
This line of yours:
"Presumably the second call to thr_tip.SetPoint discards whatever changes were made on the for call"
put me on the right track. This is my new script and it works perfectly:
for i in xrange(len(thr_tip_init)):
    pitch_list.append(pitch_dest[i] - thr_tip_init[i])
    crest_list.append(crest_dest[i] - thr_tip_init[i])

    pitchM_pos = Pitch * pitch_list[i] + thr_tip_init[i]
    crestM_pos = Crest * crest_list[i] + pitchM_pos

    thr_tip.SetPoint(i,crestM_pos)

    thr_tip.Message(c4d.MSG_UPDATE)

Thanks again.

For many people the rugged scenery of Gwynedd is the very essence of North Wales. From White Tower Holiday Park you can discover why this part of the country is so popular with visitors.
At the heart of the county is the Snowdonia National Park, a vast area of mountains, lakes and moorland. The views here are superb and it's ideal for mountain walkers. However, if you're feeling less energetic head to Llanberis where you can take the famous Snowdon Mountain Railway to the top and enjoy the magnificent scenery in comfort. Railway fans on one of our Gwynedd cottage holidays will also enjoy the Ffestiniog railway, where steam driven trains will take you for a nostalgic journey through Snowdonia. And don't miss Lake Bala, Wales' largest natural lake, which offers a variety of watersports.
For a real taste of unspoilt Wales, head to the beautiful Llyn Peninsula. Jutting out into the Irish Sea, the coastline here is dramatic and untamed. Welsh is widely spoken and the traditional Welsh culture is still much in evidence. Gwynedd is also home to Portmeirion, an idiosyncratic village created by Sir Clough Williams-Ellis, and location for cult TV series "The Prisoner".
There's no shortage of great family activities just a short distance from White Tower Holiday Park! You're only ten miles from Llanberis at the foot of Snowdon, and from here you can catch a train to the summit of the mountain. Or, for the more energetic, there are several different footpaths which enable you to reach the summit of Snowdon some 3,560 feet above sea level.

Entries in P2012 Presidential Election (2)
House Votes to Axe $200 Million for Presidential Campaigns
iStockphoto/Thinkstock(WASHINGTON) -- Amid a presidential campaign cycle in which candidates are expected to raise more than $1 billion, the House of Representatives voted Thursday to end the comparatively meager taxpayer funding for presidential campaigns.
The Republican-sponsored bill, which passed 235-190 strictly down party lines, transfers the $200 million currently sitting in the presidential fund back to the Treasury to help bring down the deficit. The bill also eliminated the Election Assistance Commission, which was established after the 2000 election to promote proper election administration, a move that would save about $16.3 million annually.
Every voting Democrat voted against the bill. Rep. Walter Jones, R-N.C., was the only voting Republican to oppose the bill. It is highly unlikely that the Democrat-controlled Senate will take up the measure.
For the past 35 years, every major party nominee -- with the exception of Barack Obama -- has funded his or her general election campaign using the public money, with the caveat that they do not raise any private funds after accepting the millions in tax dollars.
But as campaign spending skyrockets, the roughly $90 million that candidates could receive from taxpayers in 2012 would be merely a "drop in the bucket," said Ray La Raja, an associate political science professor at the University of Massachusetts Amherst.
"The [public funds] are only relevant if you don't want to win the presidency," La Raja said. "It's just not enough money."
For example, in the 2008 general election, GOP nominee John McCain took the $84 million in public funds. Obama, who opted out of the taxpayer money, went on to raise about $350 million for the general election.
"When Obama said, 'Forget it, I'm not taking the public funds,' all bets were off," La Raja said. "It was a disaster for McCain. He was so constrained because he only had $85 million to work with."
This is exactly why neither Obama nor the eventual Republican nominee is expected to take the public money this election cycle.
"If you don't take the public money, it's just game on," said Michael Toner, former chairman of the Federal Election Commission. "You can raise as much as you like and spend as much as you want. All these rules kick in if you take public money."
But Democrats argue that the public money helps decrease the influence of special interests and are unlikely to bring up the bill in the Democrat-controlled Senate.
"The public is kind of confounded on this," La Raja said. "They are not sure how to solve the problem. They don't want to give candidates public money but they don't want to have politicians take donations from private interests."
None of the Republican candidates have opted for public primary matching funds, which match private donations with as much as $250 of public money per individual.
If they accept the funds, the amount they can spend in the primary is capped at $44.2 million. To put that in perspective, Obama spent about 10 times that much to defeat Hillary Clinton in the 2008 Democratic primary.
Obama did not accept taxpayer funds in the primary election or the general election, making him the first candidate to win the White House without public money since the taxpayer funding program was established in 1976.
It was created in response to the Watergate scandal as a way to limit corruption or the appearance of corruption in presidential elections.
The 2012 election cycle is expected to be the most expensive in American history. The Obama campaign has said it aims to raise at least $1 billion, up from the nearly $800 million it raised in 2008.
But while $1 billion may sound like a lot for TV ads and phone banks, it pales compared to the advertising dollars spent to promote products in the private sector.
"We spend $1 billion to advertise toothpaste," La Raja said. "What's a billion to advertise for the most important election in this country, if not the world?"

Sarah Palin 2012? Reality Show Over, Report Says
Photo Courtesy - Getty Images(NEW YORK) -- It appears that this Sunday's two-hour season finale of Sarah Palin's Alaska will actually be a series finale, according to Entertainment Weekly.
EW.com reports that the show's producer, Mark Burnett, has no plans to return to Wasilla to shoot with Palin for another season of the TLC show, which has some wondering what this means for a potential 2012 presidential bid for Palin. If the 2008 vice presidential candidate were to do another season while officially running for president, TLC would have to offer her rivals equal on-air time.
The show, which premiered to five million viewers Nov. 14 with an episode entitled "Mama Grizzly," was intended to bring "the wonder and majesty of Alaska to all Americans," according to the former Alaska governor.
Over its seven-week run, the series brought in a respectable average of 3.2 million viewers.

The House Appropriations Committee, as expected, approved a Commerce, Justice, and Science (CJS) appropriations bill Wednesday, sending the legislation on to the full House on a voice vote. The committee accepted a few amendments during the full committee markup, none of which affected NASA, leaving the funding levels in the earlier version of the bill and accompanying report unchanged. "They've been treated very, very fair," Rep. Frank Wolf (R-VA), chairman of the CJS subcommittee, said of NASA in comments to Florida Today after the markup.
Those commercial crew and space technology cuts are also worrying to the Commercial Spaceflight Federation (CSF), an industry group. "Less funding for the commercial crew program simply equates to prolonged dependence on foreign launch providers," said CSF president Michael Lopez-Alegria in a statement. CSF executive director Alex Saltman added that the organization hopes to work with appropriators to increase funding for those programs in later stages of the appropriations process.
NASA has been very public about the fact that NASA's "technology cupboard" is bare.
Instead of spending a decade (likely more) building a rocket with nothing to launch but an oversized, overweight and pretty much useless capsule, NASA had wanted to be spending it's meager budget creating the technology and techniques needed for human space exploration beyond LEO.
Apparently this continues to confirm that Congress could care less about human space exploration beyond LEO.
That's not a surprise to me, but I just wanted to make sure that SLS supporters understood that, since the SLS is useless without anything to put on top of it.
Ron, all boosters that self destruct moments after finishing their missions are useless, especially with nothing on top of them, or with missions that accomplish nothing, but also even when launching the most valuable DoD mission ever. Useless.
That is about to change. You need to get with the program.
There is a difference between boosters (Atlas V, Delta IV, Falcon 9, etc.) that have a steady stream of customers that require their services, and a booster (i.e. the SLS) that has no known need, and is so expensive NASA can't fly it at a safe operational tempo.
Given your history of promoting the SLS over commercial launchers, I don't think you understand what the upcoming changes are, and why they will or won't succeed.
Yep. And unfortunately the amount we're talking about is far larger than $1B.
I don't think you understand what the upcoming changes are, and why they will or won't succeed.
Last time I checked they were called landing legs, landing trajectories and landing engines, your mileage may vary.
I think you're somewhat overly optimistic but I might be (hope I'm) wrong.

The Embroidery Trend | LittleEllieMae
I was lucky enough to shoot with the very lovely and extremely talented Katherine McMorran last week in Penryn. Katherine is a third year Photography student at my university and we collaborated on shooting her final project as well as a look book for my blog. Catch Katherine's write up on her blog here.
I wanted to shoot my favourite trend at the moment: embroidery. I've been a little bit obsessed with floral embroidery in particular for a while, taking inspiration from my favourite designer Dolce and Gabbana who nail the trend.
Its a great trend to either go full out (like I have here) or add subtle hints to an outfit with the odd embroidered accessories. Embroidery is so detailed and adds a really interesting element to any outfit. My embroidered clothes items are always being complemented, even by random strangers on the street!
Shirt: M&S
Shoes: NEXT
Jeans: Glamorous
Belt: Primark
Its a great trend to take from season to season to effortlessly inject some colour into any outfit. There's so much on offer on the high street and designers alike so anybody can adopt this beautiful trend!
Thanks again to Katherine for photographing me!

Making West End History: TRH Masterclass runs London Marathon | LittleEllieMae
For the first time in their history, the Theatre Royal Haymarket Masterclass Trust (Masterclass) has been offered a place in the 2017 Virgin Money London Marathon.
As one of only 500 charities with the opportunity to have someone running the famous 26.2 mile on their behalf, today Masterclass has announced that playwright Poppy Corbett will represent them at this year's marathon. Corbett holds strong ties with Masterclass having staged the West End debut of her play, Hatchling, at the Theatre Royal Haymarket as a winner of the prominent 'Pitch Your Play' scheme. Ahead of the marathon, Corbett will return to the Haymarket in February to host a Masterclass with fellow playwright Polly Stenham on 7th February.
Speaking about the opportunity Corbett commented;
"I've always believed in helping people further down the ladder and running the marathon for Masterclass would give me the opportunity to do so in a practical way. Masterclass changed things for me and I'd like to change things for them too."
The arts have been one of the sectors most affected by government cuts. As youth groups close and university fees go up, it is encouraging to see organisations such as Masterclass, The Lyric and Chickenshed featuring in the largest fundraising event of the year.
All of the opportunities available through Masterclass remain free for young people aged 16-30, allowing them to fully realise their potential regardless of income or background. However the only way organisations, such as Masterclass, are able to continue their work is through the generous in-kind and financial backing from our supporters.
Blayne George, Programme Director at Masterclass, added;
"We are delighted to have finally secured a place in the London Marathon and are equally overjoyed to have Poppy run for us! Masterclass stands firm as a place which will always support young people in the early stages of their theatrical career."
For more information on the campaign, please visit the Masterclass website here or follow their updates on twitter here.

My 2016 in Theatre | LittleEllieMae
Last year I posted my 2015 in theatre and with my ever-growing passion, it seemed only right to continue this year.
Each year theatre is becoming more and more important to me and this year is no exception. As cheesy as it sounds, I now know its my life calling. This lead me to finally apply and successfully begin studying Music, Theatre and Entertainment Management at Falmouth University, hoping to get into the theatre industry myself one day. Its been one of the best decisions I've ever made- Falmouth University and my course is so perfect for me and I am beyond happy there. I cannot wait to continue my time there in the new year. I'm looking foward to seeing what else it brings me in 2017.
Alongside the stress of applying to university, of course I kept up my passion of attending as much theatre as I can. This year I hit a personal record of seeing 42 different theatre productions and attending the theatre over 53 times. (That's nearly once a week!) I've experimented with so much different theatre this year which is what I'm most proud of. As someone who is most definitely musical theatre orientated, this year I have immersed myself with other genres such as plays, dance, comedy, new writing and youth productions which has been so refreshing and I have a new found love beyond musical theatre.
I have also had some fantastic experiences working in theatre this year. Continuing my fantastic work with the Theatre Royal Plymouth, next year brings more exciting opportunities which I cannot wait to talk about!
Another highlight was spending the week working with Masterclass at the Theatre Royal Haymarket and TheatreCraft. I had been planning this work placement since the beginning of the year so by the time it came around in November I was delighted. It was so great to experience the working of such a large event such as TheatreCraft and the day to day running of one of the most legendary theatres in the West End, the Theatre Royal Haymarket. Check out my blog post here.
I also had the completely surreal opportunity to attend the Evening Standard Theatre Awards. Far from my usual student and work- riddled life, I felt like Cinderella as I dressed up in a fancy dress, was ushered into a room full of glitzy celebrities and handed a glass of champagne which just kept getting topped up and up. It was a complete dream to be part of such an evening and I left feeling absolutely inspired and excited about the future of theatre. Read my blog post here.
In the past years, my theatre experience has generally been confined to my hometown theatre, Theatre Royal Plymouth, as its just the easiest and cheapest option. Although this year I made sure to push my boundaries and explore more. I've visited London more times this year than I have the rest of my life! By making so many trips to London this year, I've become so comfortable there and it has further strengthened my desire to work on West End one day. I also visited theatres in Cardiff, Cornwall and Birmingham and although they were all completely different, I fell in love with them all.
My Top 10 Shows of 2016:
Billy Elliot The Musical quickly became one of my favourite musicals ever, let alone of this year. Having never had seen the show on West End, I was thrilled when the first UK tour premiered in Plymouth. I was lucky enough to attend their dress rehearsal, followed by press night and closing night. I have also since travelled to Cardiff to catch the show again this summer, totalling six visits to the show this year. Its a truly beautiful show and this UK tour is one of the best shows you will ever see. Check out my review here.
The highly anticipated world premiere of The Wind in the Willows The Musical made its debut at the Theatre Royal Plymouth too. It was a stunning show, with some of the best set I've seen all year. It was perfectly staged and the quirky performances were right up my street. I would love to catch it as it hits the West End next year! Check out my review here.
In February I was lucky enough to attend the last West End performance of Miss Saigon at the Prince Edward theatre. It was my first (and last) time seeing this show and it quickly became a firm favourite. This performance was particularly outstanding as the actors put 110% effort and emotion into their last show, and with special guests Cameron Mackintosh, Alan Boubil and Claude Michel Schonberg, it was the cherry on top. Miss Saigon is a complete theatrical masterpiece and I really hope I get to see it again someday. Check out my review here.
2016 has well and truly solidified my obsession with Lin Manuel Miranda- he is a true genius. Whilst waiting for the highly anticipated Hamilton to hit West End, I was eager to check out some of Miranda's other work. As well as watching his mini-musical 21 Chump Street, I quickly became obsessed with his first ever musical In The Heights. I saw the show three times in 2016, including a very exciting first birthday party for the show. In The Heights explodes with passion and vibrancy and includes some of the best music and dance routines I've seen. Its easily one of my favourite shows of all time- I'm very sad to see it leave London! Read my review here and my interview with Sam Mackay, who plays lead Usnavi, here.
Half A Sixpence
I was ecstatic to be invited to the press night of Half A Sixpence in November. There has been such a buzz about this show since its opening at Chichester, and now its found a firm home in the West End at the Noel Coward Theatre. It was a surreal evening as Shaun Nolan and myself were seated in our own box in the stalls and were surrounded by the likes of Queen Elaine Paige and Cliff Richards themselves. Half A Sixpence is a hugely impressive show and I was so eager to see it again, I quickly made a return visit in December. The remodelling of the classic musical with stunning choreography and fantastic performances from the actors, especially new leading man Charlie Stemp, is totally refreshing and I've fallen in love with it. Read my review here.
Rent is a revolutionary piece of theatre and one that will stay with me for a very long time. This UK tour embarked on a month long run at St James Theatre in London and I managed to see the show in December. To say that I was blown away is an understatement, It was visually stunning, with fantastic choreography and staging alike. The music is beautiful and it portrays such a hard-hitting and emotional story through Jonathon Larson's stunning melodies and lyrics. The casting for this production was perfect and the chemistry on stage was electrifying. I'm desperate to see it again.
The music from The Last Five Years is some of my favourite music ever. I could listen to its songs day in, day out, and never get bored (in fact, that's exactly what I already do!). So I was thrilled to catch the new production at St James Theatre this November. I adore the structure of this show, with Cathy's story told in reverse chronological order and Jamie's story told in chronological; Its a really interesting concept and not everyone can warm to it, but personally I think it makes a great show. The staging is very simple and all focus is put on each performer (Samantha Barks and Jonathan Bailey) who perform separately, bar one song in the show, as the emphasis of the whole production is mainly the beautiful music. Its so simple and beautiful- I absolutely loved it.
Although its such an old classic, my love for Phantom of the Opera has excelled this year. At the start of 2016, my friends and I were lucky enough to go backstage at the beautiful Her Majesty's Theatre before and after the show which was the most magical and insightful experience. To stand on that iconic stage and look out into the auditorium was a dream come true. I saw the show twice during the year and it blows me away every time. The heart- wrenching orchestrations and mysteriously seductive story never fails to amaze me. It celebrated its 30th birthday in the West End this year which I think is a fantastic achievement, and long may it reign.
I had the pleasure of seeing Guys and Dolls both on tour and in the West End during 2016. This iconic old musical has been given a new lease of life with this upbeat new production. It is the definition of a feel- good show, and both the tour and show at the Phoenix Theatre in London proved this with its impressive choreography and classic toe- tapping songs. A particular star for me was Richard Fleeshman who blew the roof off the theatre as he performed as Sky Masterson, he oozed with charm and ridiculously strong vocals.
The Red Shoes
In November, Matthew Bourne (one of my favourite choreographers) premiered his latest show, The Red Shoes, at Theatre Royal Plymouth. I attended its sold-out opening night and was astounded by his new production. Bourne's choreography is gripping and so beautifully coveys even the most complex of story lines. A really impressive dance show. Read my review here.
As you can see, its been such an impressive year of theatre- some really revolutionary pieces continue to brace the UK stage which is delightful to see. I can't wait to see what 2017 brings!

The complex is supposed to be built by the Greatest of Hindu emperors there was MaharajaDhiraj Vikramaditya of Ujjaini , brother of Bharathiri the Kind and Philosopher and originator of Bharathari neeti shataka . The tower is known to have been errected to celebrate the victory of the Great Emperor Vikramaditya , over the lands now called as Arab lands . They have known to celebrate the coming of the vedic way of life .
Vedic culture was very much alive just before the birth of Muhammad. Again let's refer to the Sair-Ul-Okul. The following poem was written by Jirrham Bintoi who lived 165 years before the prophet Muhammed. It is in praise of India's great King Vikramaditya who had lived 500 years before Bintoi.
"Fortunate are those who were born during King Vikram's reign, he was a noble generous, dutiful ruler devoted to the welfare of his subjects. But at that time, We Arabs oblivious of divinity were lost in sensual pleasures. Plotting & torture were rampant. The darkness of ignorance had enveloped our country. Like the lamb struggling for its life in the cruel jaws of a wolf, we Arabs were gripped by ignorance. The whole country was enveloped in a darkness as intense as on a New moon night. But the present dawn & pleasant sunshine of education is the result of the favor of that noble king Vikram whose benevolence did not lose sight of us foreigners as we were. He spread his sacred culture amongst us and sent scholars from his own land whose brilliance shone like that of the sun in our country. These scholars & preceptors through whose benevolence we were once again made aware of the presence of god, introduced to his secret knowledge & put on the road to truth, had come to our country to initiate us in that culture & impart education."
Thus we can see that Vedic religion and culture were present in Pre-Islamic Arabia as early as 1850 B.C., and definitely present at the time of Mohammed's birth.
The Iron Pillar served an important astronomical function, when it was originally at Vishnupadagiri. The early morning shadow of the Iron Pillar fell in the direction of the foot of Anantasayain Vishnu (in one of the panels at Udayagiri) only in the time around summer solstice (June 21).Dhillika is the old name of India's capital, New Delhi. The name Delhi is derived from the word 'Dhillika'.The Iron Pillar ,a symbol of Truth and Nemesis-God Shani of Hindu Religion was brought by Anang Pal of Tomar dynasty to Delhi to establish rule of Clean,truthful and honest governance,from Mathura a land of Krishna devotion.The idea behind it was to establish an orientation to the great epic Mahabharata which is connected to the history of Delhi as well as the significance of Gita,and Yudhishtra's ascent to heaven in bodily form; from Swargya Rohini..The Hindu rulers built temples and used psychological epigraphs and monuments to instill religion in the local The Iron pillar bears an inscription in Sanskrit which states that it was erected as a standard in honour of the Hindu god, Vishnu. It also praises the valor and qualities of a king referred to simply as Chandra, who has been identified with the Gupta King Chandragupta II Vikramaditya (375-413).
The reference was also to the Satvikka Purana [Smirti Texts of Hinduism]called Garuda Purana which is recited as a cremation ritual.The Garuda atop the pillar ,which was removed by muslims,bore testimony to what was inscribed and its relevance to the installation of the pillar.The pillar was used to signify the death principle of Hindus,the need for attaining Mokhsha and the path of Dharma. The iron pillar was the Garud Dhwaj alias Garud Stambh, i.e, the sentinel post of the Vishnu temple. The Sanskrit inscription in Brahmi script on the non-rusting iron pillar proclaimed the lofty standards of Vishnu on Vishnupad Giri. Here in the said precincts ,the description indicates that a statue of the rec- lining Vishnu ;initiating the creation was consecrated in the central shrine there which was ravaged by Mohammad Ghori and his henchman Qutubuddin.
Truth revealed from sky . People usually see this tower from ground. Prof Bhatnagar hired a helicopter and took a photo from the sky. That is when he realised that is a blooming lotus flower.
About the Qutub Minar itself there is overwhelming proof that it was a Hindu tower existing hundreds of years before Qutubuddin and therefore it is wrong to ascribe the tower to Qutubuddin.
The township adjoining the Qutub Minar is known as Mehrauli. That is a Sanskrit word Mihira-awali. It signifies the township where the well known astronomer Mihira of Vikramaditya's court lived along with his helpers, mathematicians and technicians. They used the so-called Qutub tower as an observation post for astronomical study. Around the tower were pavilions dedicated to the 27 constellations of the Hindu Zodiac.
On an arch leading to the iron pillar, Qutub Ud Din Aibak left an plaque that he destroyed the 27 Hindu constellation ( Nakshatra ) temples around the stone pillar.


In Florida, estate planning is one of the most efficient ways to save money and protect assets. One of the many useful estate planning tools is the Modern Irrevocable Life Insurance Trust, which permits a Florida resident to qualify for Medicaid, avoid estate taxes, and protects the policy and payout from creditors even if the beneficiary lives or moves to another state.
There are currently to two types of irrevocable life insurance trusts, which we refer to as the traditional life insurance trust (ILIT) and the modern irrevocable life insurance trust (also an ILIT). There are some fundamental differences in the trusts, but the key reason a client would use one over the other depends on the client's net worth. If the client has an estate worth more than $5.45 million, to $10.9 million if married, then we recommend the client use the traditional irrevocable life insurance trust to save money from gift and estate taxes. If the client's estate is worth more than this amount, we recommend the client uses the modern irrevocable life insurance trust because it is much more flexible and easier to maintain.
The modern Irrevocable Life Insurance Trust offers many benefits for clients that are not worried about gift and estate taxes at death. The main advantages of this trust are that it can permit the client to qualify for Medicaid, protects assets, does not require a separate tax identification number, and crummey letters are not required.
Studies show that most people will need some long-term health care, as they grow older. In fact, many people will need support from institutions such as nursing homes and assisted living facilities. The problem is that these long-term care facilities can be very expensive. If the patient does not qualify for Medicaid, then he or she must pay for health care without any government assistance. Suddenly the money someone was hoping to save for their children is gone to pay for high monthly health care bills. If they do qualify, they are likely to have to cancel any life insurance that is in place.
Medicaid is a government program that pays for long-term health care facilities like nursing homes. It is a great program to be a member of, but it is extremely hard to qualify for in Florida. A Medicaid applicant must pass an income test and an asset test in this state before he or she can qualify for help. If the applicant owns too many assets or income, then he or she will be disqualified to receive Medicaid. That person must spend all of his or her income and assets before Medicaid will help.
Instead of wasting savings, the client can transfer the life insurance policy to the trust in advance of needing the care. After 60 months, Medicaid will no longer count the policy under the income or assets tests. This may allow the client to qualify for Medicaid and keep the life insruance benefits to be used by the surviving family. Other assets and income can also be placed into an irrevocable trust to qualify for Medicaid.
One of the drawbacks to the traditional life insurance trust is that it requires some additional paperwork on a yearly basis. The IRS requires a separate tax ID number for the traditional trust, which means the trustee will have to pay the taxes separate from the settlor's taxes. Further, a traditional insurance trust requires the trust to send out crummey notices on a regular basis. The crummey letter is a notice that alerts the beneficiary that he or she has certain withdrawal rights from the trust. The Modern Irrevocable Life Insurance Trust does not require a separate tax ID number or crummy notices.
The modern irrevocable life insurance trust (ILIT) is also quite flexible compared to other irrevocable life insurance trusts. The Modern Irrevocable Life Insurance Trust (ILIT) allows the settlor/trustee to change beneficiaries of the trust even after the trust is funded. With a traditional ILILT, the settlor or trustee cannot modify irrevocable trusts. Often the only way to modify an irrevocable trust was through a court order, or by the unanimous consent of the trust's qualified beneficiaries. The modern insurance trust is unique because the settlor/trustee retains the power to change the trust's beneficiaries without the consent of anyone else and no court approval is required.
The ability to change beneficiaries is crucial and can permit the trust to meet the trust creator's objectives throughout his or her lifetime. Our Jacksonville estate planning attorneys here also pride themselves on tailoring the trust to meet the needs of our clients. The language of the trust document will reflect the purpose of the trust and the goals the trust was created to accomplish.
Bankruptcy is a federal law, but the property exemptions are determined by the state. This means that a person's life insurance policy may not be protected from creditors if he or she moves. The Modern Irrevocable Life Insurance Trust can protect the policy from creditors even if you move to another state. The client no longer owns the policy because he or she has transferred the policy to the trust. Therefore, in most cases the bankruptcy court will not include the life insurance policy in the bankruptcy estate.
The Modern Irrevocable Life Insurance Trust is a great tool that many Florida resident should consider. Many elderly people will need long-term health care at some point, which is why it so important to utilize government programs like Medicaid. Further, this trust may protect the insurance policy even if you move later or your beneficiaries are located in another state.

Shareholder Rights Law Firm Johnson & Weaver, LLP is investigating whether members of the board of directors of Ikanos Communications, Inc. (NASDAQ: IKAN) breached their fiduciary duties in connection with the planned merger of the Company with a Qualcomm Incorporated subsidiary, Qualcomm Atheros, Inc. Ikanos designs, develops, markets and sells semiconductors and integrated firmware products for the connected home worldwide.
On August 6, 2015, Ikanos and Qualcomm announced that they had entered into a definitive merger agreement. Qualcomm will acquire all issued and outstanding shares of Ikanos common stock for $2.75 per share in cash.
The investigation concerns whether the Ikanos board failed to satisfy their duties to the Company's shareholders, including whether the board adequately pursued alternatives to the acquisition and whether the board obtained the best price possible for the Company's shares of common stock. Nationally recognized Johnson & Weaver, which focuses its practice on shareholder rights, is investigating whether the proposed deal price represents adequate consideration, especially given the Company's promise of future revenue growth. Moreover, one Wall Street analyst has a $5.00 price target on the stock which is far more than the $2.75 offer price.

Our Heartbeat Score gives a unique insight into the (commercial) development of a website. It is a bit like a health or credit score, and shows how actively a website is being updated or maintained. Because of the monthly re-indexation of all websites in our database, we can keep track of any changes that occur on a website. We know whether a website owner has changed the website content, for example, or if they haven't changed their website at all in the last year. A decreasing heartbeat can be an indication that a website is being abandoned, whereas an increasing heartbeat shows that a website is growing and regularly maintained.
Our Trust Score provides an insight into the trustworthiness of a website. It shows you whether a website handles privacy sensitive information well (or not) and if that information is stored or transmitted in a secure way. We determine this score on the collection of personal- or payment information, the use of an SSL certificate, the use of Trustmarks for eCommerce websites and several other variables.
Our Economic Footprint is a proprietary rank that indicates the economic impact of a website. The score can be used as a proxy to estimate the number of visitors, turnover and size of a company. Because of the large number of websites we index, we know how those websites are reciprocally connected. We add to this how well a website is built, the amount of vacancies it has, whether there are referring domains and several other variables to determine its Economic Footprint. A small Economic Footprint is an indication of a smaller business behind the website, whereas a larger Economic Footprint shows that there is a larger company on the page.
When a business registers with the Chamber of Commerce or a similar governmental institution, they are asked to classify their industry with the use of a SIC code. If a company changes this industry afterwards though, they often forget to update this initial registration. This makes governmental SIC codes less reliable for business information.
That's why Dataprovider.com has created a different system to determine the SIC code of any business we index. Our algorithm looks at the content of a website, and bases the SIC code it ascribes to a company based on that. With a new indexation each month, this means our SIC codes are always up-to-date.
Our Cloud Score is a proprietary rank that gives you an initial understanding of how 'cloud savvy' a website is. It shows how a website uses cloud services. We determine this score based on the services offered on a website, the CRM used, the analytics software, e-mail services and several other variables. A low Cloud Score means that a website is not that cloud savvy and tends to stay away from cloud computing, whereas a high Cloud Score is an indication that a website mostly uses cloud services.

Scott Kelby's Backup Strategy: great explanation of how Scott backs up all his photos and files.
Photos: I use the Hyperdrive as my main backup. I transfer all my photos there after a shoot and then I connect the hyperdrive to my MacBook Pro later and download photos to Lightroom. I start off by importing all the photos to my laptop's drive and then when I'm done, I copy the whole library again to a different drive. I usually have 1 LR catalog for each month or for each major shoot so that I can easily back them up.
The photos in the Hyperdrive are then transferred to a different hard disk so that I can preserve my negatives.

Subbed out
24 February, 2009 15 July, 2009 ~ Sarah Ditum
(Picture by Cybertoad.)
Sub editors: dispensible, according to Roy Greenslade, anyway. Strictly, he's right, in that if any part of the team that gets text onto pages could be dismissed, it's the part concerned with style and accuracy. There would still be journalists to write words, pages would get filled, papers could be sold. The mechanical process of fixing grammar and spellos could be outsourced, says Greenslade, or journalists could check over each others stories. The subs in the comments at the Press Gazette story are, reasonably enough, outraged: one commenter accuses him of "[doing] his best to see a whole raft of journalists lose their jobs. But Greenslade probably isn't wrong. If he's guilty of something, it's of enthusiastically welcoming something which is already happening and already contributing to general journalistic lousiness.
Nick Davies' Flat Earth News points out that subs at BBCi are encouraged to do their job by reading over writers' shoulders as the copy is written. At the Sunday Express, they've already cut most of their subs and consequently the paper is publishing spectacular balls about "floating islands" and "heroine addicts". That's self-evidently pretty poor and embarrassing for the paper. Has it hurt the paper? Well, ABCs are falling universally, and while the Sunday Express is doing notably badly, it's still not losing sales as quickly as some (goodbye, Sindy). So you couldn't really say that the poor quality of the paper's copy is directly hurting it.
But then, the Sunday Express might be hilariously awful but it isn't uniquely bad. Print media is feeling the competition from the internet, so resources are getting more and more restricted. The result is that the stuff you read in the papers is increasingly like what you could find online: roughly written, sensationalist and confirmed only by cursory checks. Often, papers are simply publishing things they've seen on the internet. Running a viral email as a news story is cheap for the paper, but the effect is probably just to push more readers towards the internet where they could get this for free. If the print media responds to online competition by becoming exactly like the internet, they're going to rationalise themselves out of existence. Greenslade can't be faulted for pointing to a trend. But he's really, really foolish to pretend that the trend will have no effect on content when it obviously already is.

This sort of stuff scares me. Especially working in print. I have no doubt that the magazine format – a finite amount of content to digest at leisure – will always exist. But I think it'll be a 'who will survive and what will be left of them scenario' once the formats and tech (the Kindle, for example) have evolved.
