Has anyone been contacted by a company named United Property Sales, that offers to market your land for a set fee of several hundred dollars? A high-pressure salesman has been repeatedly contacting my elderly parents with news of "interested buyers" willing to pay over twenty thousand for undeveloped desert land located in the Rio Del Oro subdivision near Belen, NM. The company won't send any information until you agree to pay their fee (via credit card). I've warned my parents away from the company, but the guy keeps calling. Just wondering if anyone else has had a similar experience.
I recently was called to sell a land lot in El paso texas by United Property sales. They said they had a buyer for this property. They convinced me that if I gave them money via my credit card for the land fee and closing cost, they would be able to sell. They Drew money for the land fee twice at $1479 each time. I have tried to contact them many times but only get an answering machine. If you look on line there have been many complaints. I am sorry I didn't do that. I am 86 years old and hope you can stop this.

Q: How to disable validation on control in ASP.NET 4.5 Software:
ASP.NET Application. Visual Studio 2013.
Scenario:
I have three button: email, start project and clear. When I click on the start project button, it validates the user's input automatically. When I click clear button, it should clear any user's input.
My problem is, when I click on the clear button, it is trying to validate the user's input.
Question:
When I click on the clear button, How can I disable this validation & enable again when I click submit button?
Code sample:
<input type="email"  runat="server" id="email"/>
<asp:Button ID="btnStartProject" runat="server" Text="Start project"
            OnClick="btnStartProject_Click" />
<asp:Button ID="btnClear" runat="server" OnClick="btnClear_Click" Text="Clear"
            EnableClientScript="False"
            CausesValidation="False" />

A: (I am putting my comment as an answer for this case. It might be helpful for future readers)
It is not neccessary, to disable the validation on the email button by custom coding. Changing the input type of the clear button to reset has solved my problem: <input type="reset" value="Clear"/>

Montenegro To Overhaul Tax Administration With WB Support
The World Bank has approved a EUR14m (USD16.5m) loan for Montenegro to fund tax administration reforms.
Approved by the World Bank's Board of Directors on July 31, the loan will be used to implement Montenegro's Revenue Administration Reform Project, which aims to improve the "effectiveness of operational functions of Montenegro's tax administration and reduce compliance costs for corporate taxpayers."
The funds will be used to devise and implement a strategy for the tax authority, to improve its monitoring of tax risks, modernize its systems, and fund training for management. It will also support authorities to better tackle fraud and fiscal crimes.
Montenegro's long-term vision is of a revenue administration that operates with streamlined risk-based business processes that contribute to the efficient collection of taxes and social contributions from all sources of economic activity, the World Bank said. Increased compliance will generate a more robust revenue stream to provide essential services to citizens. Improvements in revenue administration capacity will also support the country's goal for EU accession and economic integration with EU member states, it added.

Though not always done in usual care, it's vital that sleep issues are explored in any child, teen, or adult with complaints of inattention, impulsivity, or hyperactivity. If you're a patient or parent who can relate, don't be shy to bring up the topic of sleep with your doctor.
The Connection Between Melatonin and ADHD
Many kids with neurodevelopmental problems (e.g., ADHD, autism, and Tourette's) may actually make less of the brain chemical melatonin than their neurotypical peers. That's important considering melatonin (often called the "sleep hormone") helps set the body's 24-hour clock for proper sleep/wake balance.
Putting It All Together: Circadian Rhythm Issues, Melatonin, and ADHD
Quick Summary: It's clear that there's a relationship between ADHD and sleep issues and melatonin plays a key role because it works to help regulate the body's circadian rhythm (or 24 hour cycle).
But, how does melatonin ad the circadian rhythm get out of balance?
Melatonin release may be delayed. Melatonin levels rise and fall according to circadian rhythms and delays to the nightly increase in melatonin can lead to problems falling and staying asleep.
Adults and children with ADHD tend to be more alert during evening hours. Because of melatonin release and other circadian-driven changes, humans are typically biologically wired to be less alert at night. Since alertness and hyperactivity at night are common symptoms of ADHD, this pattern suggests an underlying issue with circadian rhythms. In one study, after sleep onset delays at bedtime were corrected, improvements in ADHD symptoms occurred (Arns & Kenemans, 2014)
Those theta waves! Some folks with ADHD experience times of excessive or abrupt daytime drowsiness. This is most common when engaged in non-preferred or "boring" activities. These episodes represent times where theta waves (slower brain wave frequencies) kick in and cause a feeling of sleepiness during daytime activities.
Resetting Circadian Rhythm to Reduce Symptoms of ADHD
Therapies that reset the circadian rhythm, termed "chronobiological treatments," (e.g., supplementing with melatonin or using a light therapy) can be surprisingly effective for ADHD symptoms.
How Do Chronobiological Treatments Work?
Understanding how all of this plays out in the brain can be empowering for those with sleep issues and ADHD symptoms. It's a bit of brain science jargon, but hang with me cause the knowledge is good to have...
Chronobiological treatments work in part by affecting the suprachiasmatic nucleus. The suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) is an area of the brain where circadian rhythms are generated. But wait, there's more! Because of its role as principle circadian pacemaker, the SCN is also key for regulation of core body temperature, neuroendocrine function, autonomic function, memory and psychomotor performance, and a host of other behavioral and physiological processes. All of this hard work of the SCN classifies it as the central player in an important neural system, called the circadian timing system (CTS).
The SCN has also been shown to project to the noradrenergic locus coeruleus (LC), which is a small area in the basal brain containing nerve cell bodies and where norepinephrine is generated. Norepinephrine is a brain chemical which enhances attention and arousal.
How to Balance Melatonin & Reset Circadian Rhythm
Part 2 offers key strategies to ease symptoms of ADHD.

UPDATED: Who The Hell Is The New SPIDER-MAN Villain? We Think We Know
Could a bullshit one-off villain from the 90s called The Proto-Goblin appear in the SPIDER-MAN reboot? And Peter Parker's parents make their first film appearance!
UPDATED AT THE END!
The Hollywood Reporter has revealed that Marc Webb's Spider-Man reboot has cast some new actors, including people who will be playing Peter Parker's parents, who died and left him with his Aunt May and Uncle Ben. But there's also a new villain that's been cast - a villain named… Van Atter.
I've been reading Spider-Man stories my whole life and I'm having a hard time coming up with an explanation for who this guy is. I did a Google search, thinking maybe this was the real name of some Spidey villain who rarely gets called by his real name and came up empty. And so we are left with the mystery of Van Atter.
The Hollywood Reporter offers few clues. Van Atter could be a thug, he could be a corporate type who is giving Curt Connors some trouble, he could be the principle of the high school or the dean of the college Peter Parker is attending, he could be Aunt May's landlord, he could be… well, he could be anything.
Irrfan Khan, an Indian actor best known to you from Slumdog Millionare, is playing Van Atter. That doesn't really help figure the character out too much, but I do think it means he's not just some random thug. You don't hire a guy like that to play the dude who kills Uncle Ben.
Annie Parisse, of Law & Order, is playing 'The villain's wife,' but THR doesn't specify if that villain is Van Atter or The Lizard.
Meanwhile, Campbell Scott is playing Peter Parker's dad. I think that's great casting - he would have once made a terrific Peter Parker. Julianne Nicholson, also from Law & Order, is playing Peter's mom. There's no telling what capacity they'll be used in, and there's no telling what version from the comics they'll be. At one point it was revealed that Richard and Mary Parker were spies, so who the fuck knows.
Any thoughts on Van Atter? Leave em in the comments.
UPDATE: Could it be The Proto-Goblin? Ugh.
The Proto-Goblin was a character who appeared in one issue of a Spider-Man comic ever, a Flashback issue (a stunt when Marvel told "untold tales" of characters). The basic story is that he was an employee who was tested on by Norman Osborne before Osborne became the Goblin. George Stacey plays a role in that story; the reveal that Peter's parents were spies came from another Flashback issue. Could Webb's Spider-Man be pulling heavily from a couple of weird 1990s comic books?
This raises the specter of the film being a super duper origin story - the Proto-Goblin and Peter's parents all happened long, long before the first appearance of Spider-Man. Peter Parker was a baby or a younger kid in these stories. I'm really not sure what the fuck is happening with this movie, but this makes me think that someone will be cast as Norman Osborne very soon, and that the Green Goblin is the villain of the next movie.
Thanks to James Dix Stewart, who pointed me to this page talking about the Proto-Goblin.

Q: How to share resolve between two views (ui-router) So, I know I can probably create a service, but this would be a lot cleaner and I feel like it should work.

            '': {
                templateUrl: 'abstract-view.html',

numerology for Samuel Little
Posted in 41 (Ace of Cups), Samuel Little, tagged California, Detective, DNA profiling, Los Angeles, Murder, Samuel McDowell, San Diego, United States Marshals Service on January 8, 2013| Leave a Comment »
A man suspected of killing three women in Los Angeles in the late 1980s has been arrested after detectives found DNA evidence linking him to the slayings, police said Monday.
Samuel Little, 72, was arrested in Louisville, Ky., in September by U.S. Marshal officers on an unrelated narcotics warrant while investigators built their case. He later waived extradition and was brought to Los Angeles, where he was charged Monday with three murder counts and the special circumstance allegation of multiple murders.
Investigators said the crimes were sexually motivated strangulations. Court papers said the victims were Carol Alford, 41, Audrey Nelson, 35, and Guadalupe Apadaca, 46, whose bodies were found south of downtown.
Little was being held without bail. It's not immediately known whether he has an attorney
Detectives described Little as a transient who has had contact with police in 24 states. They said most of his arrests were for drunken driving and burglary, but they believed he also committed more violent crimes directed at those with "high-risk lifestyles," such as prostitutes and substance abusers.
"He's a career criminal, like a wandering criminal that goes from place to place committing crimes," Detective Mitzi Roberts said.
Little was accused of two murders and two attempted murders in Gainesville, Fla., and Pascagoula, Miss., in the early 1980s, where he was identified then as Samuel McDowell. He avoided conviction in those cases and came to California, where he lived in the mid- to late 1980s in the Los Angeles and San Diego areas.
Little served more than two years in state prison after being convicted of assault and the false imprisonment of two San Diego women in separate cases. Detectives believe he killed the three women in Los Angeles shortly after being paroled.

predictions for the year 2013 are at:


Whenever I travel, I take a couple safety pins with me and use them to mark items that have stains. This makes it easier to pick out which pieces of clothing need to be treated whenever I get home.
Very nice and impressive… because saftety pins are very important specially in treavelling because very often we have to use them for clothes. I thinkg such ideas should be introduced in best editing services to help people and I hope they will like it also.
I tie the item in a knot, instead. Even easier to spot than a safety pin!
This is a wonderful idea. I usually have to sort all my clothes tediously. Another thing I use safety pins for is pinning my socks together so I never have to search for the match.
I hate having to sort through the clothes and try to remember what articles of clothing were stained or what someone else in my family stained! I have found that this works great while traveling and makes it much easier to sort upon return, but I have also found that at home if I have my family tie the article of clothing into a knot so that I know it is stained and needs to be treated, I have a much easier time with the laundry. Another trick while traveling for laundry, use the plastic laundry bags provided by the hotel to sort your laundry before you even return home, making it even easier!
That is a great idea! It's usually such a pain to figure out which clothes need to be washed or treated when you get home after a trip, but this simplifies things by so much! I absoulutly agree to this!

Day 029: A New Job For The Ambassador
Summary: Fiona gives a report to Chancellor Kane, and is offered a new job.
Related: None directly
Command Station, Camp Jaha
There is just so much to do. Even making a meeting with Fiona Kattegat a priority, it takes nearly a full day to arrange it. But at least patrols have gone out looking for the missing teens, and defenses are going up, and food is being gathered. Finally, Chancellor Kane has asked Fiona into his office. When she arrives, he sits on a stool at the high table, looking over reports on a dataslate. He looks up, tired and drained, but he still smiles, "Miss Kattegat. You've been very busy in the last month. Well done."
Fiona isn't exactly flush with health herself, but the benefit of that day worth of wait has her hydrated, well fed, and clean. There's a lot to be said for that. She manages a tight, wary smile for him, standing in front of his desk and lacing her fingers in front of her. "Thank you." she says, regarding him carefully. "But I'm afraid it's only a band-aid on a bullethole. It's a ceasefire, not a treaty. We're going to need to do more, and there are conditions that need to be met."
"It still stopped the bleeding, for now." Kane gestures to one of the stools across the table, "Please, sit down. You've all been through a lot." He pushes aside the dataslate, focusing on the teenager before him, "Alright. What are the conditions? Of this ceasefire and the last."
She moves to sit down, leaning forward to brace her forearms on the table. "I don't know what you've heard, but the Trikru have a saying, and it's pretty fundamental to how they deal with people: Blood must have blood. When the dropship that came down after Unity Day crashed, it destroyed a village of seven hundred Trikru. Indra wants those responsible for it."
The dataslate gets a nudge again, "Guardsman Grey mentioned that in his report. The blood must have blood part, at least." Kane frowns, glancing up, "Unfortunately, those responsible were onboard the dropship. They took it by force, and launched before it was prepared. The resultant system damage killed nearly half of us, cut off communications, and more. How do you think they will react when they cannot have the blood of the guilty?"
"They'll take what blood they can in revenge." Fiona says bluntly. "They were ready to kill us and we weren't even involved." Frowning a little, she inquires, "Is there any way to prove that they got on the dropship that we could show to them? Something that would confirm that those responsible died."
Kane nods slowly, thinking, "There might be some camera footage, if they would believe that. We would have to see if we could dig it out of the computers. There are reports from… what, there must have been a dozen people at the airlock when they launched. Some of them no doubt survived." His lips thin in a wry smile, "I was just waking up in a very cold cell at the time."
Fiona's mouth scrunches to the side as she considers. "There's a few of them I could talk to first, to ask if they know of something else that could be asked for. But to give you an idea of their mentality? The one who attacked the dropship afterward suggested she would accept a sacrifice of seven people in exchange for a delay of hostilities, not even lasting peace. In the long term, we need to be able to convince them we're worth keeping around. They're going to want us to destroy our munitions, and as that's not going to happen, we really have to find a way to convince them."
"That seems like an… exceptionally bad offer." The new Chancellor's frown continues to deepen, "If we destroy our weapons, we're at their mercy. That certainly won't be happening. But I'll make sure they're tightly controlled so we upset the Grounders as little as possible. But if the do come here, we have a great many more defenses, increasing daily, and we seem to have found a very good location. We should be safe enough for the time being, until we can come to a more lasting agreement. So, that was Indra. The… crew header? What about the steh-header? Oxfor? There was an agreement with him too, yes? Which he critically upheld?""
Fiona hops off her chair and goes to the clear board. Making sure she's not writing over anything important, she reaches up - so short! - and starts to write. "First you have the heda. Her name is Lexa." The name and the rank are written on the board. "I haven't met her, but everyone I've spoken to who has mentioned her says she tends to be more thoughtful, but no less dangerous, if not more than anyone else. She rules over twelve tribes, which form a coalition. We're in the lands of Trikru. Each tribe has a tribeleader, the kruheda. Trikru's kruheda is Indra. She's the one I dealt with. She doesn't have a soft bone in her body, she's ruthless, but she can be reasoned with." Fiona lets out a jagged sigh and moves to write the bottom level of her little power ladder. "Then you have the village leaders. They're called steheda. The steheda of Coesbur, who we had our initial treaty with, is Oxfor kom Trikru." She makes a vague wave at her writing. "I've been trying to learn the language. I talk like a baby, but with more exposure, I'll get better."
Kane turns on his stool to follow her writing, "Ah yes, I didn't have names for most of them, or pronunciation for any of them. Heda, kruheda, steheda." His pronunciation isn't quite on, but it's certainly better than most people just hearing a language have any right to be. "Twelve tribes in a coalition. Then we certainly can't afford war except as an absolute last resort. It's good to have someone who can speak the language, even like a baby, although I've heard that they speak English?" He looks over the titles on the board again, running through them in his mind, "And where do you think Chancellor fits in on that scale? Would claiming to be a heda be a massive insult or a good bargaining position?"
"The warriors do." Fiona offers. "Some of the traders and craftspeople as well. Most of the everyday folk, the farmers and the like, most of them don't. The majority of people I suspect we'll be dealing with will speak English." She can't help but grin at that. "We've actually been referring to the position of Chancellor as skaiheda. They seem to understand the connotation, but I can't say for sure whether it's come off as clan leader or on the rank of heda. It may not matter. Though I would recommend that we arrange a meeting between you and Oxfor and Indra as soon as possible. She's given us a month to offer Trikru some form of justice."
"Then we'd better get to work finding that evidence. Because I don't plan on giving up innocents to the the Grounders just to save our own lives." Kane's features are stern at that, his voice resolute. "But at least we do not all need to learn their language, although I think it would be a very good idea for more of us to do so." He nods slowly, thoughtfully, "What do you think I should do, Miss Kattegat, if we cannot recover the footage or if all of those responsible are dead in the crash?"
Fiona furrows her brow. "Well, we take advantage of the time to investigate, we need to put feelers out to see what would be an acceptable compromise if we can't." She chews her lip in thought, "We could offer to commit forces to Trikru endeavors. One of the clans, the Azgeda in the north, are troublemakers. They've tried to revolt twice. And if we can't find a way to get our people back from the Mountain without violence…the idea of defeating them might be enough to entice them. That's a long shot though. They're terrified of the Mountain Men, in a way that makes them all tend to act first and think later."
"Mercenaries." Kane's initial reaction is not a favorable one, but he chews on the word for a good while longer, and nods slowly, "Mercenaries. If they're willing to fight alongside the Guard with rifles, it might be worthwhile. But the question is whether they will or not." Looking over the list of titles again, he adds, "But that has to come after. Our people come first." A wry smile touches his lips, "Chancellor. Skaiheda. Security Officer. So many titles. About time that you had one of your own, Miss Kattegat, if you're staying. You seem to have good advice, or at least reasonable advice. I need a new Council, at least until the next election. I want to offer you a probationary seat on that Council. Non-voting, for now, until the election at least, but there to provide advice on the Grounders."
There's a blink at that. She doesn't answer right away. Instead, her brow furrows. "My father says there are two kinds of politicians, the ones who get into it for power, and the kind who get into it because they want to serve." Her expression settles as she looks at Kane. "I want to serve."
That gets a faint smile out of Kane, "There are plenty more kinds of politicians than that, Miss Kattegat. But I think your father's two categories may cover most of them." The mention of her father does remind him, "You have been able to see your parents, right? Chancellor Jaha made sure that they were here on Alpha Station before we came down."
Her smile blossoms at that. "Yeah. My mom was crying. My dad too, a little I think. He keeps staring out at the grass and trees like he's not sure he's really here. I think he wants to try his hand at farming." With a lift of her chin, she asks, "When will elections be? That's the first thing people are going to ask. And some are going to complain there was nothing democratic about this."
Kane looks down at that, swallowing before he can answer a little thickly, "Good. Get as much time with them as you can." Gathering himself a little better, he responds, "Toward the end of the first month. As Chancellor Jaha promised. Helping cool hot tempers about that would be a good starting place for you. As would talking to people about the Grounders. There are some scared and angry people here, and I want to be able to respond to the situation as needed." His smile is a little wan, "After getting proper advice from the Council."
Fiona nods at that. "Do you want me to arrange any meetings?" she asks. "Something low key, maybe, with Oxfor kom Trikru? Without him, we wouldn't have kept alive for as long as we have. I think you could get along. I can track him down, arrange some kind of meeting point." She lets out a breath. "Thank you for this. I'm - I'm going to do my best." She's already a little overwhelmed, both with excitement and the responsibility, but Fiona with a cause can be a mighty thing.
Kane considers, "Yes. Maybe not immediately, we need some time to get settled here, but it does need to happen soon. You think Oxfor would be a good starting point then? Rather than going straight to Indra or," he looks to the clear board, "Lexa?"
Fiona studies the board herself. "Oxfor is open-minded." she explains. "He gets that what we're used to as far as customs aren't the same, and he approaches things with the understanding that we're trying to learn and understand. I think his advice would be valuable before you speak to Indra, but we should seek out Indra before trying to address Lexa. From what I understand, the heda is looking to Indra to handle things, until and unless she decides to step in. So prepare to deal with Indra, but don't be surprised if Lexa's present. Oxfor is a resource, a way to sort of - get a feel for who these people are." She looks to Kane. "Does that make sense?"
The Chancellor listens to the explanation, nodding at each point, "It does. You don't jump the chain of command unless you want to insult the people you jump over. Good." He offers out another tight smile, "That's the route we'll go then." He nods his head toward the door, "Thank you, Miss Kattegat," he seems to have picked that up from Jaha, "you should get some rest, see your parents. We'll have a lot of work to do."
"I'll do that sir." She starts to head for the door. "…one more thing. If you haven't already, work with Lucian Grey on a protocol for what to do if any Grounders approach the camp? I'd hate for an uninformed sentry to shoot someone. It could unravel everything." She gives him a nod, and moves to make her exit.
Kane glances over at the dataslate at the suggestion, then shakes his head, "The Guard has a watch system set up. Despite the report he sent me, I must admit that I'm a little leery of putting too much weight on the son of Sergeant Grey." Still, he nods slightly, "But I will take it under advisement."
"He saved us more times than I can count, and when we needed to, we worked together. You might not trust the son of Sergeant Grey, but I trust the man he's become here on the Ground. With my life. And I'd do it again." With that, she heads out, intent on seeing her parents and telling them the (good?) news.

The Preclassic period of Mesoamerican history (1500 BC – 200 AD) has left fascinating historical clues about what life was like in the form of monumental sculptures hewn out of boulders commonly called "pot bellies" (barrigones in Spanish) due to their distinctive shape. Yet, despite the fact that writing emerged during this time, the pot bellies lack any sort of description of historical context. Who built them and why?
Professor Julia Guernsey from UT's Department of Art and Art History has recently published a book in which she combines the methodology of history, art history, and archaeology to offer a new look into this mysterious period at the beginning of recorded history in the Americas.

L'autorail panoramique X 4200 est un autorail mono-caisse à deux niveaux construit à 10 exemplaires par Renault numérotés  à 4210.

Destinée à la desserte de lignes touristiques, la série est mise en service entre avril et  et radiée des inventaires de la SNCF entre  et . Les , 4206 et 4208 sont la propriété de l'association AGRIVAP Les trains de la découverte ; seul le  continue à circuler. Le , préservé par Renault est classé au titre des monuments historiques en 1998, il a rejoint AGRIVAP par convoi routier de Flins à Courpière, puis par rail jusqu'à Ambert en mars 2022.

Genèse de l'autorail
À la fin des années 1950, le développement du tourisme incite la Société nationale des chemins de fer français à réfléchir à la conception d'un engin destiné au transport de voyageurs des lignes touristiques du réseau, bien souvent non électrifiées. Lors d'un voyage aux États-Unis, le directeur du matériel et de la traction est séduit par le concept des voitures Vista-Dome. Le nouvel engin doit donc être à traction diesel, assez puissant pour tracter des remorques sur des lignes au profil difficile et offrir à une partie de ses voyageurs une vision panoramique des paysages traversés.

Description
La série de dix appareils est construite par la branche ferroviaire de la Régie Nationale des Usines Renault (RNUR) dans son usine de Choisy-le-Roi, le premier exemplaire sortant de production en .

Caractéristiques techniques
L'autorail panoramique  est réversible à caisse unique, équipé de deux postes de conduite. Il est équipé de deux bogies, dont un moteur et un porteur, de deux essieux.

La structure de l'autorail panoramique  présente la particularité de comprendre une cabine de première classe surélevée, située dans la partie centrale au-dessus du compartiment moteur, offrant une vision à 360° par tous les temps grâce à un dispositif anti-buée constitué de résistances électriques noyées dans les vitres. Le dôme est formé de quatre éléments en polyester stratifié de  et ne pèse que . Les baies vitrées du dôme avec leur joints pèsent . Le verre extérieur utilisé pour le dôme est de type Athermique, c'est-à-dire partiellement imperméable aux radiations infrarouges. Le compartiment de première classe est séparé du compartiment moteur par un plancher isolant épais de  qui permet une protection thermique et acoustique. De la laine de verre et de l'amiante complètent la protection thermique et contre les incendies. Les deux faces de l'autorail sont également réalisées en polyester collé sur une armature métallique.

La motorisation est constituée d'un moteur MGO de type V12SH de la Société alsacienne de constructions mécaniques (SACM) doté d'une turbo-soufflante Napier type . Le moteur est semblable à celui des X 2800 (livrés à partir de ) mais légèrement moins puissant avec , soit  (au lieu de  pour les ). Des problèmes de refroidissement dans le compartiment moteur trop exigu conduisent à limiter rapidement sa puissance à  en service commercial par montage d'un limiteur d'injection.

La transmission est électrique, le moteur diesel entraînant une génératrice électrique qui alimente sous une tension de  deux moteurs placés sur les essieux d'un même bogie. Les moteurs de traction, insuffisamment ventilés, souffrent d'une fiabilité insuffisante ; ce problème est partiellement résolu par le montage d'un système de ventilation forcée.

Grâce à l'utilisation du plastique pour le dôme et d'autres équipements parmi lesquels les réservoirs et les escaliers, et en adoptant des faces latérales constituées par une poutre triangulée classique, l' ne dépasse pas la charge de  par essieu ce qui lui permet de circuler sur l'essentiel du réseau ferré français. L'autorail panoramique peut circuler en formation jumelée de deux engins ; de construction il est conçu pour tracter deux remorques unifiées dans des rampes de , mais le bridage de son moteur réduit sa capacité de traction à une seule remorque dans ces conditions.

Aménagements intérieurs et livrée
L'autorail présente une capacité de , dont 44 en première classe et 44 (y compris huit strapontins) en seconde classe. Les fauteuils de première classe, sous le dôme supérieur, sont orientables de façon à pouvoir être tournés dans le sens de la marche. Les sièges de seconde classe sont également des fauteuils individuels mais ils sont fixes ; ils se situent dans les deux compartiments au niveau bas, à l'avant et à l'arrière, séparés par les compartiments moteur et bagages placées au centre. Les voyageurs de  peuvent voir la voie vers l'avant (ou vers l'arrière dans l'autre compartiment), les postes de conduite n'étant isolés que par une paroi vitrée. Deux places se trouvent tout à fait à l'avant, à côté du conducteur.

Ces engins sont équipés d'un système de ventilation par électro-ventilateurs, indispensable pour maintenir une température acceptable sous le dôme du compartiment de première classe. Une véritable climatisation est prévue mais elle ne fut installée que sur le premier exemplaire de la série (), doté d'une véritable réfrigération en . Malgré tout, la ventilation du dôme n'est pas satisfaisante par fortes chaleurs sur cet engin, entraînant même des interdictions de circulation aux heures les plus chaudes pendant les mois d'été.

Leurs aménagements intérieurs et leur ligne sont dus au designer Paul Arzens qui les a revêtus d'une livrée rouge et crème avec toit et bas de caisse gris anthracite. Ils ont conservé cette livrée toute leur carrière. La livrée verte du  de l'AGRIVAP est spécifique à cette association.

Services effectués
Les  assurent à partir de 1959 des dessertes sur les lignes du réseau Sud-Est de la SNCF avec en particulier les deux trains touristiques « le Cévenol » (via la ligne des Cévennes) et « l'Alpazur » (via la ligne des Alpes).

Les  à  assurent à partir du  « le Cévenol » (Marseille - Nîmes - Alès -  Clermont-Ferrand - Le Mont-Dore). Pour cela ils sont souvent associés à un X 2400  puis un X 2800 encadrant deux, voire trois remorques. Ces jumelages et remorquages entraînent une limitation de vitesse à  alors qu'un  seul peut rouler à . En 1978, « le Cévenol » perd ses autorails panoramiques au profit d'X 2800 modernisés puis d'une rame Corail tractée par des BB 67400.

Les  et  effectuent le  le premier train « Alpazur » entre Genève et Digne via Grenoble. Ce train périodique d'été (de juin à septembre) nécessite chaque été le détachement au Centre Autorails de Grenoble de quatre autorails  marseillais de 1959 à 1971.

Lors de leurs séjours dans la capitale des Alpes et du Dauphiné à Grenoble, les  assurent aussi quelques relations Aix-les-Bains - Chambéry - Grenoble - Valence (et retour) et Grenoble - Genève (et retour). Ils tractent une ou deux remorques. Sur « l'Alpazur », ils sont souvent associés à un X 52000, X 52100 ou  encadrant deux, voire trois remorques.

Les  circulent également, entre autres, sur le littoral languedocien (Marseille - Cerbère), sur la Côte d'Azur (Toulon et Nice), sur la ligne de la Côte bleue et dans le briançonnais. En fin de carrière, ils effectuent quelques rotations sur Alès et Bessèges et Alès - Génolhac. Les quatre derniers engins de ce type sont retirés de la circulation en 1985. Le , parmi les derniers radiés, a parcouru .

CLAT Preparation must be categorized, opines The Opus Way The leading law entrance coaching institute that has helped thousands of law aspirants over years, opines that the study plan of CLAT aspirants must focus on all sections equally, but not on a daily basis.
CLAT Preparation for 2018 CLAT's success stories are truly inspiring when the first CLAT attendees reveal their preparation skills. Tens of thousands of CLAT candidates are required to follow these techniques, but most of them do not reach a decent rank in the CLAT. The main reason for this is the fact that Common Law Admission Test experts follow more than one daily routine. From good study materials to good mentors, your approach to CLAT Preparation is holistic.
CLAT Preparation Strategy The first of CLAT are not special people. They are among us who have simply chosen a smarter way to attack the CLAT with many positive attitudes. As the Common Law Admission Test expert has pointed out from time to time, a positive attitude toward objectives makes travel easier. It is normal for people to be disappointed and lose hope of obstacles, but for those who are starting again with enthusiasm, success is yet to come. For CLAT, a review that sees fierce competition; For the aspirants, it is obvious to face many obstacles, sometimes unsuccessful attempts of CLAT. But every time the winners meet, they decide to work harder and get the qualifications they deserve. A good CLAT tutorial is the most important aspect of any Common Law admission test preparation routine. CLAT Coaching Center includes everything that needs to be read and practiced, as well as simulated tests and response codes. They also provide guidelines and tips for taking CLAT.
Notable Point As you prepare for the common law admission test, you will probably find too much learning material. But it is not necessary to follow them all. Choosing CLAT tutorials really improves the preparation. Although many CLAT mentors recommend collecting all relevant study materials in the early stages, this is not always possible. You can always find a better math guide or bank with logical arguments while preparing for the Common Law Admission Test. Common Law Admission Test Topper aims to cover theoretical sections, especially concepts within a period of two or three months in the initial stag. You can always find a better math guide or bank with logical arguments while preparing for the Common Law Admission Test.

Reliable CLAT training will provide a deep understanding of concepts, a key factor in solving simulations.
Conclusion However, access to a number of CLAT tutorial is not the end of the line. To score high in CLAT, you must follow it consistently rather than randomly. CLAT tutorials from reputable CLAT training institutes are developed by CLAT experts and clinicians who have years of experience in the area of admission testing or are directly involved in the CLAT review process. That's why CLAT's CLAT tutorials are complete, but compact.


Hershey, NE – Ashley Hassett wanted to keep playing basketball after high school and she will while staying close to home, which for her is already two notches in the win column.
On March 5th, Hassett signed her letter of intent to play basketball with the North Platte Community College Knights. The team is fresh off a Region IX championship and still fighting for a place at the table in the national tournament. It's a culture and environment that Hassett felt best fit her talents.
"I've gone and hung out with the girls alot, in open gyms and at games. I feel I fit in very well" said Hassett at her signing ceremony.
Hassett was impressive in her years at Hershey with career averages of 11.4 points per game, 4.8 rebounds per game while shooting 30% from 3pt range.
Hassett is the 2nd recruit for the 2019-20 season, joining Isa Valenzuela from Legacy high school in Broomfield, CO.
The Hershey Lady Panthers have won a game at the girls basketball state tournament for the first time. They jumped to an eight-point first-half lead and never trailed in a 53-34 win over St. Patrick's in round one of the Class C2 state tournament Thursday morning in Lincoln. Daynlee Miller and Brooke Frederick scored 13 points apiece to lead the Lady Panthers. Miller added 10 rebounds and five assists. Shelby Allberry posted a double-double with 14 points and 12 rebounds in the losing effort for the Lady Irish. Hershey moves to 21-4 with the win, while St. Pat's finishes their season with a 22-4 record.

They take on Crawford in the D1-6 district final in Bayard. And the Brady Lady Eagles are trying to get to Lincoln for the third time in the last four years. They face Wauneta-Palisade in the D2-5 final in Wallace. A best case scenario has four Lincoln County teams heading to state. Hershey must hope for a Wild Card entry into the Class C2 field.
The St. Pat's Irish and Wallace Wildcats will be playing for boys basketball subdistrict championships. St. Pat's got 24 points from Mark Mayfield and controlled the action from start to finish in a 45-27 win over Hershey in the C2-11 subdistrict first round in McCook.

Mental Health-Substance Abuse Issues In Fla. Child Welfare System To Be Priority In 2016
WFSU | By Sascha Cordner
The head of Florida's child welfare agency as well as some state lawmakers are renewing a push towards mental health and substance abuse reform in connection with protecting kids in the state's care.
Florida Department of Children and Families Secretary Mike Carroll says his agency's mission is a sacred one of protecting children, adding it's much more than just preventing child fatalities or child abuse.
"We just don't protect children from physical abuse," said Carroll. "We protect the whole child. And, it's important we protect the whole child because this is the next generation of Floridians, the next generation of Americans. It means a lot more than meeting basic, given expectations."
At the 18th annual Child Protection Summit in Orlando, Carroll also said while his agency has made progress, there's still more work to do. He says that includes reducing the number of child fatalities in Florida. More than 85 percent of the child deaths called into the state abuse hotline involve kids under the age of 3.
"The leading cause of death for children 0 to 1—those are our babies—is unsafe sleep or unsafe sleep-related deaths. The leading cause of death for children ages 1 and 2 is drowning," added Carroll.
And, Carroll says most are unintentional.
"Those aren't inflicted child deaths," he continued. "They weren't intentional. But, almost every one of them is inherently preventable. And, most of them are related to marginal parent oversight. You might have a parent who doesn't know how to be a parent. You might have a parent with a mental health issue. You might have a parent with a substance abuse issue that contributed to the circumstances that led to that child's death. But, there are too many kids in our state that died because of that."
Carroll says if a child in Florida can stay alive until the age of three, their chances of survival go up considerably.
Child deaths have been a big focus for the state, after a spate of child abuse deaths occurred under the state's supervision in recent years.
Rep. Gayle Harrell (R-Stuart) worked with Sen. Eleanor Sobel (D-Hollywood) over the years to focus on revamping Florida's child welfare system. Both chair legislative committees in the House and Senate dealing with children issues.
"As we were dealing with out child legislation in SB 1666, it became more evident that probably the three key factors that affect child abuse have to deal with mental health issues, substance abuse issues, and domestic violence. And, domestic violence is all related—to a large part, probably 80 percent—to mental health and substance abuse. So, when you get down to the core issue, we need to as a child welfare system to look at integration within our system, and bringing in our partners within our substance abuse and mental health issues," said Harrell.
A proposal delving into mental health and substance abuse issues did not pass amid the budget impasse between the House and Senate, during this past legislative session. But Harrell says in the coming year, mental health and substance abuse will again be a priority.
"And, you see it in the headlines, each and every day," added Harrell. "You see a child being thrown off the bridge, you see parents struggling with addiction, you see children suffering because of the difficulties, the struggles, the problems that the parents are happening, and who suffers? The children. So, I think this next year, we're going to continue our hard work, and we're going to hopefully come back next session with an even better bill."
Meanwhile, both Harrell and Carroll say they're also encouraged by the Governor's recent Executive Order. It builds on a collaborative effort among state agencies who offer mental health services in Florida, which includes DCF.

Vaping illness death count surpasses 50 across US
(Max Faulkner/Fort Worth Star-Telegram/Tribune News Service via Getty Images)
NEW YORK - The death toll in the vaping illness outbreak has topped 50, U.S. health officials said Thursday.
The 52 deaths in 26 states are among the 2,409 hospitalized cases that have been reported across the nation this year, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said.
Hospitalized cases have been most common in the Midwest, with some of the highest rates in Illinois, Indiana, and Wisconsin.
The median age of the people who died is 52, but most people who suffered lung damage have been much younger, with half in their teens or early 20s.
The outbreak appears to have started in March. The bulk of the cases occurred in August and September, but new cases are still being reported, including 118 in the past week, the CDC said.
Some of the newly reported illnesses happened more than a month ago but were only recently reported. However, 43 percent of the latest batch of cases were people hospitalized since Nov. 17, the agency said.
Most patients have said they vaped products containing THC, the ingredient that produces a high in marijuana. CDC officials have gradually come to focus their investigation on black-market THC cartridges.
Last month, CDC officials said they had narrowed in on a culprit - a chemical compound called vitamin E acetate that has been commonly found in the lungs of sick patients and in the products they vaped. It's a thickening agent that's been added to illicit THC vaping liquids.

Demetria McKinney Tribute to Whitney Houston
News & Entertainment / June 9, 2013
I must say when I first saw this video I asked myself where have I been. Demetria recorded this tribute in February and I was temporarily upset that she didn't tell me about it when I saw and spoke with her in January. But " I forgive you Demetria..this time"… Just kidding. But back to the tribute. I've had the pleasure of previously interviewing Demetria. And since Prestige has evolved since that time, I'm looking forward to having her on the cover once again. We all know and love Demetria for her role as "Janine Payne" on the hit TBS sitcom " Tyler Perry's House of Payne", as well as starring in other Tyler Perry stage plays such as, "Meet the Browns", "What's Done In The Dark", "Why Did I Get Married", and "Madea's Family Christmas". Demetria has also starred in "The Mountaintop", "Church Girl", the musical "I Dream" in which she portrayed Mrs. Coretta Scott King and "Dreamgirls" which she performed with the legendary Jennifer Holliday.
She currently stars on the TV One sitcom The Rickey Smiley Show as Monica, Rickey's ex wife. So make sure you tune in to TV One on Sunday nights and keep check for the new season that will be premiering July 23rd.
Demetria's other numerous film and television credits include the films "Daddy's Little Girls", "Let The Church Say Amen", "Breaking Up is Hard to Do" and shows "Necessary Roughness"and "Let's Stay Together". She has extensive vocal and dance training. She is an R&B/Soul singer who has opened for artists such as Tank, Dwele and Anthony David. She has three singles available on Itunes "Take Away" and "Get Yo ..ish" and "Livin It Up" (her duet with Anthony David). She is presently working on her debut CD with notable producers such as Musiq Soulchil. Now in saying all of that. I must say that all three of her singles that is available on Itunes, I've already downloaded to my IPhone and it's been on repeat. But when I went to Demetria website http://www.demetriamckinney.com and saw she had a new video up and it was a tribute to Whitney Houston. I had to stop whatever I was doing and listen. I'm left with saying WOW, and in tears, She did a phenomenal job on this tribute song and really showed the power, strength and range in her vocals. Prestige readers, take a listen below and leave your comments letting me know what you think.

U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice Named National Security Adviser

Rosie Kane has a thread on her Facebook on which people have been writing where they were when they heard about the passing of Nelson Mandela. This article started off as a post there.
I think Mandela's passing will, of course, be remembered. His life, and those who fought alongside him; his ANC comrades; the many women who fought this dreadful system; Desmond Tutu, Steve Biko, Winnie Mandela and all of those who lost their lives in the struggle and never saw freedom and what they struggled for, will be remembered longer.
I truly believe that the legacies of Mandela and Gandhi will be viewed, reviewed and ultimately thought of as people who began the 'new time' when good first began to crush might and greed. Neither man succeeded in creating utopia- but the struggle and victory they both symbolise will, in my opinion, be seen as the first steps towards a fightback. Three steps forward, two back - and both men understood that. Some on the left have yet to understand that when they criticise. Changing this world will not fit exactly the left sect programme the critical mind belongs to. I read online and hear at meetings criticisms of political fighters who have given their life to struggle that I can hardly believe. The usurping of the Mandela legacy by the right will rely on the criticisms from the left. Mandela understood that. He explicitly said that he was no saint. He was a sinner who did his best - as all of us should acknowledge we are - even those of us who prefer not to use religious language. In other words, he, like Gandhi, was flawed. Lots of these flaws are flaws of their time, generation, culture etc. Some are personal, socialised flaws. We all have them. We don't all give our lives to struggle like these men did.
I read about his passing on twitter last night, nursing a sair foot after falling through a school stage. That, I will remember in the same way feeling rubbish after an argument with my new wife in September 2001, or feeling a bit hungover watching the Berlin wall fall through my small portable telly lense or shivering in my digs in Dunblane when my mum phoned me to tell me something dreadful in 1996 or when my grandfather, the same age as Mandela, passed away. All of these events were dreadful or hugely historical or personal and all of them I remember every detail around me. I will remember the papers on the seat around me; my laptop and and my sair foot.
I wore my Makana FC top to work today (Nelson Mandela's footie team when he was on Robben Island) and told my P3 class today about why he loved Glasgow so much and why he thanked the city. I got all choked up and a wee girl cried because I did. I will remember that.
Mandela and the struggle against Apartheid, and my small part in that as a young teenager through to my early twenties (writing letters, sending money, marching), helped me understand my own country (Northern Ireland) when I was younger. I remember sending away for a report by some organisation about South Africa when I was in my early teens. The organisation had the foresight to send me a report on the island of Ireland. Stark facts, figures and raw data on housing, wealth and poverty. They made me think. I read the world I saw was flawed. The vista was a green baize patched with cheap paint. A rhinestone studded shiny plucked cloth covering a festering mound of poverty and elitism. I will remember that.
The struggle against apartheid united many right thinking people across the world then, and at this moment in time.
The struggle isn't over as the Tories and right wing parties are on the rise defending their riches by deepening our impoverishment; and people are incarcerated in disgusting holding centres for no other reason than existing and wanting to escape poverty. This is our fight.
The struggle against apartheid continues in Israel / Palestine. This is our fight.
It continues across the globe when one set of people are pitted against another, or one set of people are scapegoated, or swathes of humanity are kept poor and die of hunger and curable disease at the hands of a system that has huge riches. This is our fight.
We were right. Separation was wrong. Discrimination, poverty, segregation, division, inequality, elitism, demonisation, racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, hatred, poverty, poverty, poverty all our battles.
This is our part in the fight. Exposing wrong and smashing it.
The past- the Cameron's and Thatcher's (who he refused to meet) and Tebbits and Farage's and Bush's and Reagan's etc of this world were wrong and have no place in the celebration of this mans life. This mans fight is our fight.
I will remember him. Madiba. Tata.

Families are fun. They can be the highlight of our life. Sometimes, however, they can generate a little heartache along the way. When that happens, a family therapy, relationship systems approach to working with the family can be exceptionally helpful to everyone. Family is more than a collection of individuals. There are relationship themes and patterns that repeat themselves in what we call the family system. These patterns come from how we actually go about relating to one another. Some patterns are positive. Some patterns are painful. In family therapy I often talk about "how we do family". It's very rewarding to look at this together.
I am a Clinical member of The American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. When the family system seems distressed and in need of help, my approach can be useful. Relationships in families are complex and may require some guided reflection to draw attention to the issues facing the family. Power struggles and roles within the family should be examined and meaningful suggestions for improvement are shared with family members. Communication skills are taught to enhance understanding. Family is the basic unit of society. If needed, get help by calling today.
