Exciting Places to Visit Across Punjab, India
Photo by saiko3p/Shutterstock
With its roots firmly grounded in agriculture, Punjab is amongst India's most culturally vibrant states. Occupying a prominent position in the north of the country, close to the capital, New Delhi, its people are known for their larger than life nature that reflects through Punjab's distinct art, dance, architecture, and lust for living. Physically strong, passionate about food and drink, and deeply religious, Punjabi's are often the heart of any get-together. As a result, their state is a land of wonders that attracts travelers from across the globe with its diverse sights and sounds.

From a tourist standpoint, be it from the rest of India or the world, Amritsar is the leading destination to visit in Punjab. The city's significance lies in its religious, historical, and culinary heritage. The most important place to visit in Amritsar, and possibly the entire state, is the Golden Temple. Known also as Harmandir Sahib, it is the primary site of worship in Sikhism. The temple was initially built in 1604 but gained its present-day avatar in the early 1800s when rebuilt using marble and copper with gold foil covering. Open to all visitors, spending some time in the Golden Temple complex is a must, irrespective of your religious beliefs.
A quick five-minute walk from the Golden Temple is Jallianwala Bagh, a stark reminder of India's struggle against the British. A memorial situated in an enclosed garden where hundreds of Indians were massacred on April 13, 1919, it pays homage to the many lives lost in the perusal of India's freedom. A walk through the museum and the park, where there is a preserved wall with bullet holes, is an emotional experience for many.

A modern planned city, designed by the Swiss-French architect Le Corbusier, Chandigarh is the joint capital of Punjab and Haryana. Among the popular sightseeing options in Chandigarh are its modern structures, the Capitol Complex, Open Hand Monument, and the Government Museum and Art Gallery. The city is also known for its green spaces, especially the Garden of Fragrance, M.C. Zoological Park, and National Cactus and Succulent Botanical Gardens.
However, the most novel excursion in Chandigarh is the Rock Garden. An expansive and beautiful landscape, spread over 40 acres, it comprises of sculptures made with discarded items and recycled ceramics, waterfalls, and wide-open spaces to spend a day out with the family. Known as Nek Chand's Rock Garden, it first came into existence when a government official secretly started building it in 1957. Other activities on and near the complex include the Doll Museum and boating in Sukhna Lake.

India and Pakistan are perpetually in the news for all the wrong reasons. Still, a visit to Wagah Border, situated 28 kilometers from Amritsar, makes for a lively and entertaining half-day trip. Every evening, army personnel from both sides put on a loud, colorful, patriotic, and cheerful retreat signifying the closing of the gates that mark the physical boundaries of the often-warring countries.
A favorite with tourists, it is essential that you reach Wagah Border a good hour or so before the start of the ceremony, which typically commences around 4 or 5 in the evening, to get seats nearer to the action. The "act" itself is full of music, showmanship, and a sense of pride and valor that is both commendable and fun to watch for the young and old.
Half an hour away from the city of Ludhiana is Kila Raipur. On most days, it is a quaint Punjabi village with a laidback appeal that photographers and admirers of the quiet life will find alluring. However, for three days towards the end of January, thousands of people arrive here to witness the spectacle that is the "Rural Olympics."
Started in 1933, the Kila Raipur Sports Festival is the coming together of villagers from across the state to partake in several rural-themed events. From ox-cart racing and tractor pulling to kabaddi, acrobatics, truck loading and unloading, cycling, and sprints, the eagerly awaited annual festival is an exclusive gathering where visitors can enjoy genuinely rustic sporting action. Although it is possible to visit Kila Raipur on a day-trip from Amritsar, to appreciate the full force of the festival, it is worth staying in Ludhiana for its duration.

Kapurthala is an underrated destination in Punjab with a rich and royal past. A princely state under the British, the city is now famously known as the "Paris of Punjab" for its extravagant French-inspired architecture and gardens. Amongst the best places to visit in Kapurthala is Jagatjit Palace. Built-in Indo-gothic style, and taking inspiration from the Versailles Palace, it was at one time the home of Kapurthala's Maharaja. Another imposing building in the center of the city is Jagatjit Club, with its towering columns that showcase traditional Greek architectural style.
If looking to spend a day out in the open, Kapurthala is home to Kanjli Wetlands, an excellent spot for birdwatching or having a family picnic. However, no trip to Kapurthala is complete without spending some time in Shalimar Gardens, the heart of the city where you will find locals and tourists at all times of the day, walking, eating, sitting, playing, and admiring the beauty of the royal cenotaphs that dot this complex.

While there are reminders of the past spread throughout Punjab, Pushpa Gujral Science City highlights the modernity of the state and its passion for technology and science. A short drive away from Jalandhar, this is the must-visit family tourist spot of Punjab.
Large dinosaur models, exhibitions covering various themes in social sciences, plenty of photo-ops, earthquake and flight simulators, 3D theatre, and a laser show; there are more than enough activities at the science city to keep children and adults occupied for an entire day.
Excellent connectivity and good roads make Punjab the perfect tourist destination for a car trip. Traveling by road further allows visitors to see the state's smaller towns where life is calmer and unpretentious. In fact, a great experience to have in Punjab is to spend a few nights in a village. It is here that, on a good day, vacationers can sleep under the stars, eat freshly prepared rotis, take a walk through sunflower fields, and enjoy a few precious moments away from the hurry of everyday city living.

With over 240 Function Code's as tools for your process control strategies, Bailey has essentially created a visual programming language. Where other control systems may require extensive programming to implement process control, the Net 90 and the Infi 90 have taken the drudgery away from the system integrator (which is more often than not, Bailey) and the user. Bailey does offer the ability to write your own code and create your own function codes, but this is seldom necessary.
Sometime in the early days of the Net 90, if not at its inception, Bailey conceived the idea that writing code, canning it as a Function Code, providing inputs, outputs and configurable parameters to give flexibility to the code, was the proper way to present it to the ultimate user. We could liken this to selling a relay instead of the magnetic core, wire, contacts, and plastic case to build your own relay. Coupled with the software offered at the time (CAD and Text Configuration), you have a fairly advanced system for its time. To date it is hard to find a software package more adept than the DOS-based CAD system for configuring Function Codes, even amongst the sophisticated Windows programs offered today.
Most Function Code's are straight forward, such as AND, OR, QOR, or Time Delay. Others offer the sophistication found in other DCS or PLC applications such as PID algorithms or MANUAL/AUTO Stations. It's not the functionality of the Bailey system that presents obstacles. But given all this functionality we often challenged by the documentation used to present it. The Bailey Function Code manual probably rates higher than most other Bailey documentation, but it is not without certain faults. In this chapter we provide supplemental information that will hopefully save the reader some time in the long run.
In recent years Bailey has taken the Function Code concept a step farther. We encounter macro-coded logic and control on an ever-increasing basis. That's not to say certain users haven't been using this technique for years. After all, the User Macro library is not a recent addition. Perhaps its taken this long for Bailey to justify investing the man-hours to develop quality macros. The benefits and problems associated with macro use deserves a chapter in itself. Since there is little, if any documentation for macro creations, we need to explore Function Code's in more detail to learn why certain macros are written as they are.
There's little need to start at Function Code number 1, taking each one in sequential order. Instead we'll start with the one that is most problematic at the time. Eventually we can organize these in order by Function Code number to make it easier to refer back to this document for answers. But for now, the MSDD deserves some discussion.
One of the more complicated Function Code's encountered, the MSDD requires a lot of study to use effectively and correctly. In the old Net 90 days it was seldom used. But as system integrators became acquainted with it, the MSDD is more prevalent and even overused. Fortunately it requires little more memory or execution time than the Remote Control Memory block, so we mustn't complain.
A common misconception is that the state selectors shown on the Operator Station, of which there are three, correspond to the three outputs of the MSDD. Only by virtue of the masks selected would this be the case. In fact, because the bottom selector on the Operator Station pop-up selects state 1 and the top selector state 3, it is desirable to use state 3 as the START, or 'on' state of the controlled device. In the real world, we would normally put the START button on top. It is also desirable in the configuration to use output N (the first output) as the START command because is looks better on the CAD drawing. Therefore, state 3 would correspond to output 1 and the mask for state 3 would be 001.
One given with the MSDD is that Output Mask 1 will always correspond to State 1, Output Mask 2 to State 2, and Output Mask 3 to State 3. The Default Mask corresponds to State 0. Beyond that, almost anything goes. So the mask defines the state, making it almost unnecessary to use both terms in the same document. In fact, let me explain in the next paragraph the programming of the MSDD without mentioning the word 'state'.
Each mask can be configured in one of 8 different ways to define the outputs: 000, 001, 010, 011, 100, 101, 110, or 111. When the operator selects Output Mask 3 with the top button, he could be turning on one output, two outputs, three outputs, or no outputs. But as mentioned earlier, if he wants mask 1, he selects button 1 to produce a desired action.
So that wasn't so hard. But in the above paragraph we could replace the word 'action' with the word 'state'. And because you can't select more than one button at a time, nor can the control inputs select more that one mask at a time, there can only be three states, or three separate actions.
Bailey doesn't dwell too much on the manual operation of the MSDD. Most of the discussion in the documentation refers to automatic mode where the control inputs select the state (mask). The basic RCM doesn't even have an AUTO mode, so the concept of MANUAL/AUTO control for a digital station in the Bailey system is rather foreign. It might make more sense if the M/A control were accomplished through a state selection. We're familiar with this method in the real world where a selector switch provides Hand/Off/AUTO or On/Off/AUTO control. It's not uncommon for the MSDD to be configured in this manner, where the State 2 button selects AUTO mode. Selecting State 3 or 1 (START or START) disables AUTO control.
Because of the manner in which AUTO mode is presented for the MSDD, operators become equally confused with the concept. This is mainly due to the poor operator interface, namely the pop-up control. Since we are accustom to three separate positions of a selector switch, one of which is AUTO, for such a feature, it makes sense to configure the MSDD with State 2 as AUTO. This, however, renders the MAN/AUTO button useless, if not confusing. On the other hand, for basic 2-state motor control, what does the middle button do?
We could probably blame the design engineer for using the middle button to select AUTO. But if we have a two-state control that we either want an operator to control or something else to control, what else do we do? Well, we can either go back to the Bailey method and accept the unused middle button, or we can do what we did in the RCM days. Then we used one RCM as a START/START and the other as AUTO/MANUAL. That was rather messy. With some competitors to the Bailey DCS who don't have three-state devices, we are relegated to doing just that.
So many of the applications for the MSDD are two-state motor control (on or off). Which method to use for achieving an AUTO feature is a matter of choice. If we use the middle button (State 2) to enable the AUTO mode, the operator will invariably want to first click the MAN/AUTO button rather than the State 2 button. And when he does click it, he will be presented with a feedback display in the lower portion of the popup which says he succeeded. However, the Mode display in the upper half of the pop-up window will still show MAN. Some operators have walked away thinking they put the control in AUTO.
NOTE: A logic 1 at S25 and S14 equals XX1 or XX2 will cause OVR to be displayed Wrong!
S14 equal to XX1 or XX2 will always cause OVR to be displayed, regardless of S25.
Bailey stated this as if you should be cautioned (disregarding my 'wrong' flag). Actually, why wouldn't you want OVR to be displayed if the S25 override input is set? For the astute operator who realizes his selection feedback in the lower pane of the pop-up does not necessarily mean the MSDD accepted his command, he will madly click away at the MAN/AUTO button and then file a problem report that the station mode cannot be changed. It would normally be important to configure the MSDD such that OVR will be displayed when S25=1. Unfortunately there is a bug in the MSDD which makes it difficult to provide the OVR flag.
There is a workaround for this problem. It is common to use the DSUM Function Code to generate an input for the Adapt block that sets the value of S14. Use the same block that sets the S25 override as input to the DSUM block. Assign a weighting of 1.0 to that input. A second input to DSUM would have a weighting of 140 to set the MANUAL mode for the MSDD. A third input would have a weighting of 130 to set the AUTO mode. MANUAL and AUTO modes must be mutually exclusive through use of logic external to the DSUM function. With this configuration the OVR flag will be set "through the back door."
Remembering the feedback text in the lower half of the MSDD pop-up displays your last button selection and not the mode or state of the MSDD, how do you determine the mode or state? The answer is obvious for the state. Properly configured, the upper portion of the pop-up will show both the mode and the state. Also notice that if you click inside a second pop-up, the feedback text in the lower portion of the first pop-up goes away. Then when you re-click in the first pop-up, the feedback text shows the true state of the MSDD, but not the mode.
Remember, there is a difference between 'mode' and 'state'. You can configure the MSDD to create an AUTO mode external to the MSDD through use of one of its states, but the mode of the MSDD would remain MANUAL.


Candidates for the MAT degree must complete the required curriculum of 37 credits with a cumulative GPA of at least 3.0.
Each candidate chooses a focus (at least 3 courses) of either Dogmatic Theology, Liturgical Theology, Pastoral Theology (plus CPE), or Sacred Scripture. Based on this focus, MAT students will choose either comprehensive exams or a thesis project in consultation with an advisor in fulfillment of the MAT degree.
The degree can be completed in two years with full time study. Part-time students have a six year limit to complete the program. With the permission of the Academic Dean, a total of 15 hours of compatible graduate-level theological studies may be completed at other institutions. Any grade below a B- does not transfer.
Applicants who have already achieved a Master's Degree cannot use credits from the previous program towards a second Master's Degree at BCS. BCS will only consider transferring credits which were not used towards the awarding of a degree.
Formal application for consideration of transfer credits is made to the Academic Dean.

Central Coast: 3 natural wonders
Fed by mineral springs, the hillside hot tubs at Sycamore Mineral Springs Resort offers sybaritic bliss, just a few minutes from Avila Beach. (Sycamore Mineral Springs Resort)
By Jessica Yadegaran | jyadegaran@bayareanewsgroup.com and Ann Tatko-Peterson | atatko@bayareanewsgroup.com | Bay Area News Group
PUBLISHED: November 28, 2017 at 1:00 pm | UPDATED: January 8, 2018 at 10:07 am
California's Central Coast is beautiful all on its own, but these three natural wonders are all the excuse you need to get out in nature and be dazzled.
1 Monarch Butterfly Grove
In late October, the grove opens for an up-close view of these magnificent creatures, numbering more than 20,000 at a time during their four-month stay. There is nothing quite as breathtaking as seeing the orange and black monarch butterflies cluster in the branches of the eucalyptus trees near Pismo State Beach. During daily talks, volunteer docents explain how the butterflies cluster to shield themselves from the cold winters and explain that those visiting Pismo live up to six months, instead of the usual six weeks.
Details: Open 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.; www.monarchbutterfly.org.
2 Mineral hot springs
Soothe your mind and muscles at the Sycamore Mineral Springs Resort & Spa, which offers 23 open-air hot tubs that are naturally heated with mineral spring water and tucked into the lush, tree-filled hillside along Avila Beach Drive. Hot tubs are fenced off for privacy and accommodate two to eight people. The luxurious Oasis Waterfall Lagoon accommodates up to 20.
Details: Hourly rates vary. Avila Beach; www.sycamoresprings.com
3 Pismo Preserve
The 900-acre preserve weaves 10 miles of trails through woodlands, past Pismo Creek and along coastal ridgelines that offer unparalleled views of the Pacific Ocean. But it is also a treat not easily enjoyed by everyone. That's because the preserve on the northeast end of Pismo Beach is only accessible on weekly docent-led hikes, bike rides and horse rides. By the end of 2018, that will change as the Land Conservancy of San Luis Obispo County completes construction of public amenities and will open the preserve to the public full-time. In the meantime, sign up for a docent-led hike or ride.
Details: The preserve is accessible from Highway 101 and Price Canyon Road; lcslo.org/events.

Kitsap Transit buys ferry for Kingston route, backup engines for Bremerton route
Christian Vosler
BREMERTON – Kitsap Transit's board voted Tuesday to buy backup engines for the fast ferry Rich Passage 1, and to buy a used ferry with capacity for 350 passengers to work the Kingston-Seattle route starting next summer.
Transit will pay for both purchases using money from general obligation bonds approved by the board earlier this summer.
RP1 has suffered from several mechanical issues since service launched July 10, including a malfunctioning control box in the propulsion system, a failed turbocharger and a blown headgasket. It was sidelined Monday and Tuesday so mechanics could fix a crack in the boat's hull.
Fast ferry service will resume Wednesday, according to Kitsap Transit spokesman Sanjay Bhatt. There's no conclusive evidence, but the best guess is that a floating log may have damaged the hull, Bhatt said.
Kitsap Transit plans to keep the spare engines on hand as full replacements in the event an engine malfunctions, according to Kitsap Transit executive director John Clauson. Mechanics can swap out a full engine in about 8 hours, Clauson said.
Individual parts from the backups could also be used as replacements in an emergency.
"It's one of those things where having adequate spares, whether it be for engines or control modules for the jets, it's just pertinent to do that," Clauson told the board.
Clauson said the vessel has experienced problems because it wasn't used regularly between when it finished wake testing in 2012 and when permanent service launched in July. The boat was built by All American Marine of Bellingham in 2009.
"It's a piece of machinery, no different than an automobile," Clauson said. "It's just that this automobile sat in storage for four years."
Because new regulations require engines to have clean air apparatus that could affect the weight, Kitsap Transit is looking to buy older engines like the ones currently in the RP1, Clauson said. The agency has located three potential engines from a seller in Seattle. They're out to bid for other options though, not to exceed $310,000, per the resolution.
Kitsap Transit is in talks with American Marine to purchase an additional two Rich Passage-class boats. If an agreement is reached in time, they could be in production as soon as December, according to Clauson.
To keep its promise of opening a fast ferry on the Kingston route next summer, the board also approved the purchase of a used catamaran, the M/V Finest, for $2.3 million.
A 21-year-old, 350-person fast ferry from New York, the Finest will run the Kingston-Seattle route until a full-time boat can be built. Then it will serve as a backup for both the Kingston and Southworth routes.
The Finest was owned by the private ferry company NY Waterway, and did trips between Manhattan and New Jersey.
The Finest will be shipped from New York, which will cost $150,000. Redoing the electronics and navigation systems will cost $300,000. Depending on their condition, the Finest's engines will have to be refurbished or replaced, which could cost between $1 and $1.5 million.
Clauson said the plan is to redo the entire interior of the Finest, including replacing the bulkheads, windows, carpet, seats and painting everything. The total refurbishment cost would come out to just shy of $4.5 million, just under what the board budgeted for it in June.
"I think that for an older vessel it has good bones and I think it could be a really good addition to the fleet," said Kitsap County Commissioner and Kitsap Transit board member Rob Gelder, who toured the Finest earlier this year.
The board unanimously approved both purchases, although not without some reservations.
Poulsbo Mayor Becky Erickson pushed for the formation of an independent panel of experts to investigate the fast ferry's problems before moving forward.
"I am certainly not comfortable buying any more boats until we understand where we are," Erickson said.
Several board members, including Commissioner Ed Wolfe and Bremerton Councilman Richard Huddy, urged the council to take action and focus on fixing the Bremerton service first.
"I think the public's tolerance for frequent unreliability is very limited, and I really think we're damaging our reputation and our ability to build this service going forward," Huddy said.
Gelder defended the purchase, pointing out that Transit gambled when it put the RP1 into service without a backup to stay on track with set timelines.
"One way or the other you are not meeting somebody's expectations," Gelder said.

BMW Motorsport Director: M8 GTE Shares Roofline with Production Model
Home » Models » BMW M8 » BMW Motorsport Director: M8 GTE Shares Roofline with Production Model
Gabriel Nica
January 25, 2018 / 1 minutes read
The launch of the BMW M8 GTE racecar before the introduction of the production M8 took a lot of people by surprise. It's a rather unusual take, as BMW Motorsport Director, Jens Marquardt confirmed in a recent interview. Usually, the race car is derived from the production model, adding various factors to the mix, to make sure the racing doesn't stop prematurely in all sorts of FIA events.
The M8 GTE is making a first appearance this week at the Daytona 24-hour endurance race and it already gathered a huge crowd around it. Of course, the race car had to be fitted with plenty of aerodynamic bits to make sure it's both competitive and compliant with FIA rules. However, according to Marquardt, we can already see some of the production model in it, as a couple of elements weren't drastically changed.
"In the case of the BMW M8 GTE, the chassis is closer to the production model, but the engine had to be modified significantly. […] Because the race car will be in action before the production car, we worked intensively with the design department from a very early point to ensure that were on the same page when it came to the design. That worked very well," said Marquardt, adding that "[they] are obliged to adopt the same external contour and roof line as the production model."
As for the engine, it's not exactly the same, and that's good news. Usually GTE or GT3 cars are limited to around 500 HP and that means the M8 will surely come with more under its belt. Our sources claim 600 HP but it remains to be seen. Nevertheless, BMW is also promising that other elements from the racer will be added to the M8 which makes things even more interesting.

Giom says:
I'm pretty sure the kidney grill and headlamps are at least the same shape and size of the production car. Must say, the race car looks smaller than I thought it would. That's a good thing…
i am curious to see if that in fact will be true. looking at the M8 GTE head on as in this shot it looks like there isn't much room left on the side of each headlight. considering that GTE is much wider than regular model because of those wheel arches this must mean kidney grille and/or headlights must be smaller or of different shape to be able to fit into a narrower profile of the regular 8 series.

Cyclone Idai: the real picture on the ground
Appeals	Women's Stories
An ActionAid Australia team member shares an eyewitness account from Mozambique.
School books abandoned in a house. A child's bicycle buried under the rubble. Corn seeds gathered by a family who have managed to salvage them from their house, which they need to survive on for one week. These are the images gathered from Beira, Mozambique, by ActionAid emergency workers in the aftermath of Cyclone Idai.
Leocadio Dira from ActionAid Australia is on the ground in Beira, where he grew up. After joining the ActionAid emergency response team, he was also reunited with his father, Ezequiel who remembers the day vividly.
"The devastation was quite huge…as you walk around you see that all houses have been affected. I am yet to see at least one house with the rooftop intact. Hospitals have been hit hardest. My friends are telling me that all those who were in intensive care did not survive.
"When you pass through the city you can't help but cry."
Although the worst of the storm may have dissipated since hitting Mozambique, Malawi and Zimbabwe on 15th March, a major humanitarian emergency continues to unfold in southern Africa as survivors begin the painful task of rebuilding their lives.
With little clean water available, cholera cases have been reported and there is a high risk of outbreaks of other diseases.
"The cholera outbreak is spreading fear among the city," adds Leocadio.
"Those who can afford are buying bottled water."
ActionAid's local staff and partners continue to work on the ground providing assistance, whilst also ensuring the needs of women and children are protected.
In Sofala, the most affected province, their focus is on a range of activities – from the distribution of dignity kits and establishing Women Friendly Spaces to building the capacity of women leaders and ensuring their food and educational supplies are secure. It is expected this support will continue for at least six months.

After discovering that Ben Affleck had asked PBS to censor a reference to his slave-owning ancestors in Finding Your Roots, many were left wondering: could PBS wield that same power to hide the tragic history of Ben Affleck's movies?
Due to the overwhelming request, PBS says they've already developed a concept: hypnosis through a series of subliminal messages over the course of 24-episode series about Ben Affleck that covers every part of his life, except with no mention of his movies. A special 2-hour episode about his humanitarian efforts in the Democratic Republic of Congo will be used to erase Gigli.
The network will also add a new installment once Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice goes on sale as a discount DVD at Walgreens.

International Kiwi ace Richie Stanaway says he won't be returning to Europe next year as he chases his dream of a full-time Supercars drive.
The 25-year-old recently finished a part-season program in the World Endurance Championship with Aston Martin before turning his attention to the Pirtek Enduro Cup.
Having made his Supercars debut in Prodrive's Super Black customer entry last year, Stanaway will step up to co-drive with Cameron Waters this time around.
He signed a two-year co-driving deal with Prodrive at the start of the season but is making no secret of his desire to be racing in the category full-time.
Relocating from the UK to New Zealand last year and commuting to the WEC races, Stanaway has confirmed to the NZ Herald that he's not planning to return to Europe at all.
"The only thing that interests me is V8 Supercars so that is the only thing on the radar," Stanaway told herald.co.nz. "I am not planning on going back to Europe.
"Obviously being at the enduros this year as a co-driver and being around that paddock is what I need to push for a full-time drive next year."
Stanaway has a superb record in Europe, winning races in Formula 1 feeder classes GP3, GP2 and Formula Renault 3.5.
As previously reported, moves were afoot to put Stanaway in the Super Black car for 2017 before the program was shut down.
Prodrive replaced the entry by doing a deal with Jason Bright for the veteran to move his Racing Entitlements Contract to the squad.
While Bright's REC and driving deals are a multi-year proposition, whether results dictate a move to co-driving duties for the 44-year-old next year remains to be seen.
Asked by the NZ Herald about the possibility of a Prodrive seat eventuating, Stanaway said he's yet to discuss it with the team.
"It depends whether or not (Prodrive) would be able to make it work," he said.
Stanaway spent just a single season racing in Australia before moving to Europe, tackling the 2009 Formula Ford Championship.
That year saw him race wheel-to-wheel with future Supercars stars Nick Percat, Scott Pye and Chaz Mostert, as well as current Formula E driver Mitch Evans.

These include the requirement that EPA, with states and public water systems (PWS), notify and provide information to homes and communities once EPA receives drinking water data that indicates a household has drinking water levels above EPA's lead action level (0.015 mg/L). These notifications are in addition to those currently required under the existing Lead and Copper Rule.

Thursday, January 28, 2021 - 5:30pm
The three most consequential and existential planetary crises of our time are—climate breakdown; biological annihilation; and the rise of zootonic pandemics (we are currently in the midst of the no-end-in-sight coronavirus pandemic). All three crises are human caused and are intensifying. They are also interlinked in intricate ways. Take for example, the destruction of wildlife habitats—to enable oil, gas, coal and mineral extractions, or to support large-scale industrial agriculture—contributes significantly to the escalation of all three crises. At the same time, communities around the world have been working hard to mitigate the losses and chart more just futures for all life on Earth. With visual analysis and storytelling, this talk will be a journey through three places: tropical India; Arctic Alaska; and the U.S.-Mexico desert borderlands—to highlight the significance of the "sacred" in building community-engaged and culturally-inclusive campaigns for multi-species justice.

Endace, a provider of high-speed network recording, playback and analytics hosting, today announced further expansion to its Fusion Partner Program - increasing the partner team to handle continued growth in the programme.
Endace has already announced partnerships with a number of vendors, including BluVector, Cisco, Dynatrace, Idappcom and Plixer in recent months, and is working with additional partners to be announced in the near future.
By deploying their chosen analytics solutions on the EndaceProbe Analytics Platform, customers can consolidate hardware to reduce cost and reduce the time required to deploy new analytics solutions.
New capabilities can be deployed in software, on demand, without the need for new hardware.
The success of the Fusion programme has been driven by customer and vendor partner support for Endace's open, common platform approach to network security and performance analytics.
The EndaceProbe Analytics Platform combines 100% accurate, high-speed packet capture with the ability to host security and performance analytics solutions from Endace's Fusion Partners and a wide variety of open-source tools and customers' applications.
Workflow integration allows SecOps, DevOps and NetOps analysts to click on an alert in the analytics tools and go directly to the related packet data where it can be examined and investigated using EndaceProbe's built-in EndaceVision and EndacePackets.
The tight connection between alerts and related packet-level evidence enables definitive root cause analysis and rapid, accurate response to security threats and performance issues using a common workflow.
Endace Fusion partners also benefit from this open common platform approach.
Solutions can be deployed on demand for trials and proof-of-concept projects, which enables partners to quickly demonstrate the ability to add value to a customer's existing environment without requiring complex hardware deployments.

London sees retail sales hike after brief June heatwave
Updated: 06:04 EST, 20 July 2009
Retail sales jumped nearly 5 per cent in London last month as the warm weather tempted shoppers nervous about the recession onto the High Street.
The London Retail Consortium today said like-for-like sales in the capital were 4.7 per cent higher in June than they were in the same month last year.
That was a far better performance than the 1.4 per cent rise seen in the UK as a whole.
Warm feelings: June's brief heatwave saw sales shoot up 4.5 per cent
'Yes, London outperformed the rest of the UK,' said British Retail Consortium director general Stephen Robertson. 'But, like the rest of the country, uncertainty about jobs means Londoners are still nervous about spending, particularly big-ticket items.'
Business was helped by the June heatwave, visitors from overseas attracted by London's sights and the weak pound, and discounts in a number of stores.
'Sunshine and sales helped to boost london retail sales,' said Robertson. 'Footfall in the capital was well up on a year ago as shoppers sought out summer clothes, sandals and outdoor goods.
'The pound's weakness against the euro continued to attract shoppers from western europe. and sales in the capital were also helped by Middle Eastern visitors.
'Although individual tourists have become more cautious, there are more of them, which produced sales gains.'
Sales were 3.9 per cent higher in the second quarter than in the same period last year, with london again outstripping the 1.7 per cent rise around the country.
Helen Dickinson, head of retail at KPMG, said: 'Many of London's retailers had a better month in June, boosted by the good weather and some early sales and promotions
which benefited clothing and footwear in particular.
'Consumer confidence continues to hold up better in the capital than in other parts of the UK but there remains a high level of volatility on a day-to-day, week-to-week basis.'

After eight years of strong measures, the United Kingdom saw a sharp deterioration in its living standards. The Labour Party will examine the main implications of budget cutting in a conference on 27 October.
During a speech marking the 70th anniversary of the creation of the NHS, the leader of the Labour Party claimed that "there is mounting evidence that austerity and inequality are killing people". Also, in order to tackle health inequality, Corbyn promised an increase in funding for the health service and will launch what he defined as a "national mission" to fight to ill health and deprivation.
The crisis that the NHS is facing has been also recognised by the Tories as the former Conservative health secretary, Andrew Lansley, was diagnosed with a bowel cancer in April. Lansley blamed not just IT failings and a shortage of endoscopists, but also Treasury cuts to a body overseeing the NHS's workforce development. The NHS has not been the only "victim" of budget cutting. Since 2010, London started to reduce its support for local governments. For example, the borough of Knowsley's budget was cut nearly by half, while Liverpool's budget was reduced by almost two-thirds.
Consequently, over the years, the increase in austerity measures has led to a sharp deterioration of the quality of life in the United Kingdom.
This is why Jeremy Corbyn for PM, together with John McDonnell-The People's Chancellor, Labour Assembly Against Austerity and London Labour Left are organising "Stand with Corbyn- Unite to end Tory Austerity".
The conference is a Labour assembly against austerity. It will be attended by Diane Abbott MP, Jon Trickett MP, Richard Burgon MP, Maya Goodfellow, writer & commentator, Chris Williamson MP, Claudia Webbe, Labour NEC, Cllr Alice Perry, Labour NEC member, Dan Carden MP, Seema Chandwani, Labour CAC member, Grace Blakeley, economist & writer, Duncan Bowie, housing expert, Sian Errington, Labour Assembly Against Austerity, Roger McKenzie, UNISON Assistant General Secretary and more special guests to be confirmed.
"Stand with Corbyn- Unite to end Tory Austerity" will take place on Saturday, 27 October, from 10am to 5pm, at the Student Central, Malet Street, Bloomsbury, London WC1E 7HY. For further information, please visit Facebook event.
The Many are 100% behind Labour and Corbyn.

General Internal Medicine and Geriatrics officially separated into two divisions
Reviewed by Emily Henderson, B.Sc.May 12 2022
The Department of Medicine's Division of General Internal Medicine and Geriatrics have been officially separated into two divisions, the Division of Geriatrics and the Division of General Internal Medicine, effective March 1, 2022.
We have recognized the need to have distinct nationally recognized programs to provide the highest quality and most comprehensive patient-centered care. The Geriatrics program in Northwestern Medicine has a very strong national reputation, and has enjoyed that for many years. With the growth of the program in the critical domains of clinical activity, research and training, it is clear that Geriatrics deserves full Divisional status."
Douglas Vaughan, MD, chair and the Irving S. Cutter Professor of Medicine and director of the Potocsnak Longevity Institute
Lee Lindquist, '00 MD, '05 MPH, MBA, '03 GME, the George M. Eisenberg Research Professor of Geriatric Medicine, will lead the Feinberg's new Division of Geriatric Medicine.
Lee Lindquist, '00 MD, '05 MPH, MBA, '03 GME, the George M. Eisenberg Research Professor of Geriatric Medicine and current section chief of Geriatric Medicine in the Department of Medicine, will lead as chief of the Division of Geriatrics.
Lindquist's patient-centered research focuses on helping older adults age-in-place when they develop Alzheimer's disease through home and community-based resources and supporting caregivers. She also provides clinical care for older adults in her geriatrics clinic is also the medical director of the Clare at Watertower in Chicago, a continuing care retirement community that encompasses independent living, assisted living, skilled nursing, memory care and long-term care.
"With the recent creation of both the NIH-funded Northwestern Pepper Center and the Potocsnak Longevity Institute, innovative geriatrics research and training has a solid home at Northwestern. I am extremely proud of our strong all-female faculty team of geriatricians, they are truly an amazing group of physicians," Lindquist said.

A general internist and primary care clinician-investigator, Linder has expertise in electronic health records and clinical decision support, using behavioral science and social psychology to understand and change behavior, and appropriate care of ambulatory respiratory infections. Linder's overarching goal is to improve primary care in the U.S., especially for older adults. He also co-leads Northwestern's Claude D. Pepper Older Americans' Independence Center along with Lindquist and Michael Wolf, PhD, '02 MPH, the James R. Webster, Jr., Professor of Medicine and Associate Vice Chair for Research in the Department of Medicine.
"Even before I came back to Northwestern five years ago, Dr. Lindquist and I discussed an independent Division of Geriatrics as a goal. Geriatrics has grown under Dr. Lindquist's leadership, and it is time! I look forward to continuing to work with Dr. Lindquist and all our Geriatrics colleagues to strengthen care for older adults at Northwestern and beyond," Linder said.
