La Fontana Maggiore ou Fontana di Piazza,  située sur la Piazza IV Novembre à Pérouse en Ombrie, est une fontaine de la fin du XIIIe siècle.

C'est un des monuments importants du centre historique de Pérouse, précisément  sur la Piazza IV Novembre, entre le palazzo dei Priori et la cathédrale San Lorenzo.

Présentation de l'œuvre
La fontaine possède une inscription latine qui rapporte le nom et la fonction des participants à l'œuvre, ainsi que sa date d'achèvement (1278) :
 Fra Bevignate da Cingoli, a dirigé les travaux,
 Nicola et Giovanni Pisano, sculpteurs,
 Buoninsegna, Vénitien, se chargea du système hydraulique.
Toutefois, que les sculpteurs n'aient pas pris part à l'architecture du projet reste difficile à croire à une époque où sculpture et architecture étaient des activités en interférence et sachant que Nicola et son fils Giovanni étaient l'un et l'autre architectes.

Elle est l'une des premières fontaines publiques conçues comme un élément monumental du mobilier urbain et la première à être dotée d'un tel programme iconographique. Elle fut érigée pour commémorer l'arrivée de l'eau sur l'acropole de la ville grâce au nouvel aqueduc qui convoyait jusqu'au centre de Pérouse, les eaux provenant du mont Pacciano, situé à peu de kilomètres.

Réalisée en pierre d'Assise pour sa structure, elle est composée de deux vasques en marbre blanc et rose, polygonales, concentriques et superposées, sur une base circulaire. La vasque supérieure est surmontée d'une coupe en bronze (fondue en 1277 par le maître pérugin Rosso Padellaio ou Rubeus), ornée d'un groupe de trois cariatides qui à l'origine, soutenaient un couple de griffons (symbole de Pérouse) et un couple de lions (symbole du parti guelfe). Il est à noter que les côtés des polygones des deux vasques inférieure et supérieure ne sont pas droits mais légèrement concaves. La vasque inférieure est décorée de 50 bas-reliefs séparés par des colonnettes. La vasque supérieure est dotée de 24 statues qui alternent avec des plaques lisses de marbre rose.

Pour réaliser les œuvres décoratives, Nicola et Giovanni étaient ici à la tête d'un atelier composé de nombreux compagnons. Ceci était indispensable pour satisfaire à la commande passée par la ville, qui imposait un délai fort court pour réaliser 24 statues, les plaques de marbre rose intercalaire qui étaient entourées d'une corniche, 50 bas-reliefs, 24 colonnes de soutien de la vasque supérieure, les dalles pour le fond du bassin, la grande structure en gradins sur laquelle repose la fontaine. Il ne faut donc pas s'attendre à ce que le style des deux sculpteurs se perçoive nettement dans cette œuvre. Au contraire, la fontaine se distingue par une grande homogénéité de l'ensemble de ses parties. Cela est dû à la structure de l'atelier médiéval et à l'habitude de ne pas confier la même statue ou le même relief à un seul collaborateur mais plutôt à faire que plusieurs compagnons interviennent successivement sur la même partie. Cette façon de procéder conservait ainsi son unité à l'ensemble de l'œuvre. Toutefois, des indices non équivoques de la main de Giovanni apparaissent sur certaines statues de la vasque supérieure, par l'accentuation pathétique du trait, ainsi que par la spontanéité avec laquelle sont saisis les personnages d'une grande part des reliefs représentant les mois de l'année et la violente expression jointe à la palpitante vitalité des deux aigles.

La reconstruction de la fontaine après le tremblement de terre de 1438 montre déjà le manque de compréhension des hommes des  pour l'esprit médiéval qui avait conduit la réalisation de cette œuvre au . Les reliefs de la vasque inférieure et surtout les statues de la vasque supérieure se sont retrouvés placés en une suite désordonnée qui altère le rapport logique d'origine et qui malheureusement est celle que l'on trouve aujourd'hui. Il est attribué à chaque statue un texte gravé qui l'encadre, la première partie du texte à gauche de la statue, la suite à sa droite ; le désordre fait que ce n'est plus toujours le cas. Soit l'ordre des statues, soit les pierres où sont gravés les textes ont été intervertis.

Description des œuvres décoratives

Vasque inférieure
Les divers cycles représentés ne doivent pas être considérés comme des concepts séparés (il n'y aurait rien de plus éloigné de l'esprit médiéval) mais comme une somme destinée à fournir une vision unitaire du ciel et de la terre, intégrant le cours historique de l'homme et ses activités et où l'on doit chercher une explication du monde et de la vie humaine. La proposition première est le péché originel avec la conséquence de la chute de l'homme, d'où la nécessité de la rédemption et dans l'attente de cet accomplissement au ciel, l'homme peut se préparer à l'aide de la science et des œuvres (représentées par les arts libéraux et les occupations manuelles sur les panneaux des mois).

Les bas-reliefs, en panneaux doubles, représentent :

 les douze mois de l'année
 Janvier - Verseau (un couple âgé autour de l'âtre)
 Février - Poissons (deux pécheurs)
 Mars - Bélier (l'épine - la taille de la vigne)
 Avril - Taureau (deux allégories du printemps)
 Mai - Gémeaux (deux cavaliers à la chasse au faucon)
 Juin - Cancer (la moisson - le battage)
 Juillet - Lion (le battage - le vannage)
 Août - Vierge (la récolte des figues)
 Septembre - Balance (le foulage du moût - la vendange)
 Octobre - Scorpion (le remplissage des tonneaux - fabrication des tonneaux)
 Novembre - Sagittaire (le labourage - les semailles)
 Décembre - Capricorne (l'abattage du cochon)

 Les arts libéraux
 grammaire et dialectique
 rhétorique et arithmétique
 géométrie et musique
 astronomie et philosophie

Figurent également :
 Deux aigles
 Le lion guelfe et le griffon pérugin
 La tentation - l'expulsion du Paradis

 Samson déchire le lion - Samson et Dalila

 Deux « moralités »

 David - Goliath

 Romulus - Rémus

 La louve et les jumeaux - Rhéa Silvia

 Le renard et la grue - Le loup et l'agneau

La vasque supérieure
Elle est ornée de 24 statues. Des groupements divers ont été proposés par des spécialistes de l'histoire de l'art. Par exemple, une distribution des statues entre deux pôles : Rome et Pérouse. Une autre distribution, cette fois par rapport aux statues qui se trouvent aux quatre points cardinaux (Salon à l'est, Rome à l'ouest, Euliste au nord et Pérouse au sud). Tous ces schémas ne paraissent pas très probants, ce qui n'exclut pas qu'il y ait certainement eu à l'origine, une logique dans la disposition des statues.

Les représentations sur la fontaine de la puissance politique est sans nul doute de la volonté des commanditaires pérugins et non le reflet de la pensée spirituelle des Pisano.

La disposition des statues tout autour de la vasque est aujourd'hui la suivante (en partant arbitrairement de Euliste et dans le sens inverse des aiguilles d'une montre) :
 Euliste, le fondateur mythique de la ville de Pérouse
 Melchisédech, prêtre-roi de l'ancien testament
 Ermanno di Sassoferrato, podestat de Pérouse
 La Victoire
 Saint Pierre
 l'Église romaine
 Rome, caput mundi
 La théologie
 Saint Paul
 Le clerc de Saint Laurent
 Saint Laurent, patron de la cathédrale de Pérouse
 La Domina Clusii (nymphe de Chiusi)
 Augusta Perusia (Pérouse)
 La Domina Laci (nymphe du lac Trasimène)
 Saint Herculan, évêque et saint patron de Pérouse, sauva la ville de la destruction au cours de l'invasion de Totila
 Le clerc traître, par lequel Totila parvint à pénétrer dans la ville
 Saint Benoît
 Salomé
 Saint Jean-Baptiste
 Salomon
 David
 Moïse
 Matteo da Correggio, capitaine du peuple
 Saint Michel archange
Les textes gravés de part et d'autre des statues laissent penser qu'à l'origine, l'ordre des statues n°18 à 21 devait être le suivant :
 18 - Saint Jean-Baptiste à la place de Salomé
 19 - Salomon à la place de Saint Jean-Baptiste
 20 - David à la place de Salomon
 21 - Salomé à la place de David

Marc Bolan and his girlfriend Gloria Jones spent the evening of 15 September 1977 drinking at the Speakeasy and then dining at Morton's club on Berkeley Square, in Mayfair, Central London. While driving home early in the morning of 16 September, Jones crashed Bolan's purple Mini 1275GT into a tree (now the site of Bolan's Rock Shrine), after failing to negotiate a small humpback bridge near Gipsy Lane on Queens Ride, Barnes, southwest London, a few miles from his home at 142 Upper Richmond Road West in East Sheen. While Jones was severely injured, Bolan was killed in the crash, two weeks before his 30th birthday.
Bolan's death ended the band. Steve Peregrin Took died from asphyxiation from a cocktail cherry after his throat was numbed from his use of morphine and magic mushrooms in 1980, Steve Currie also died in a car crash, in 1981; Mickey Finn succumbed to illness in 2003. Peter 'Dino' Dines died of a heart attack in 2004.
Regardless, they created good music, for a short time.
The uncertainty of science: The only known fossils of a T Rex's skin suggest that the dinosaur was covered with scales, not feathers as recent research has theorized.
[I]f these large tyrannosaurs had any feathers at all, says the team, their fluff would have been limited to their backs—the only body part for which they were lacking fossil impressions. Because their earlier cousins did have feathers, it's likely that the large tyrannosaurs lost them somewhere along the way, the team suggests.

Valve Announces SteamVR Desktop Theater Mode Beta Enabling VR Experiences In Non-VR Games
In the nearly twenty years the company has been in existence, Valve has proven itself to be a master in several key gaming categories. First, it has managed to craft not one, but multiple hit series; the most prominent titles being Half-Life, Team Fortress, and Portal. It's hard not to appreciate the company's spectacular foresight, either. They seem to have a knack for knowing what's going to hit big. Look no further than Dota 2 for proof of that. Beyond that, Valve has also proven itself to be great at the whole gaming platform thing, with Steam becoming the de facto spot for gamers to play, share and get access to top titles.
That's all fine and dandy, but on the press side of things, there's something else Valve has become a master at: sending out emails with just enough information to perk up ears and that's about it. Succinctness is the name of Valve's game here, and in advance of next week's Game Developers Conference, the company has done it again with this super short gem:
SteamVR Desktop Theater Mode is in early beta, and will be showcased at next week's Game Developer Conference in San Francisco. Desktop Theater Mode enables users to play non-VR games with VR systems such as the upcoming HTC Vive and others.
Your guess is as good as ours as to what this feature is going to actually look like. It sounds like gamers will be given a virtual environment to play their non-VR games in, which as a concept might strike some as a bit odd. It sounds similar to what has to be one of the coolest VR ideas ever: a virtual arcade, where you walk around and play a "real" game in front of you. With arcades having died off for the most part long ago, a solution like this could be the best chance we have to experience arcades nowadays, or show the kids what pure gaming nirvana used to look like.
The HotHardware staff will be on hand at GDC next week to check out Valve's new technology first hand and report back. In the meantime, what do you think this solution is going to look like? And for that matter, do you have any VR experiences you want to see become a reality?

Led by Lienite Bemera (second from the left), BBI's "I Am Loved" conferences and retreats have an incredible affect on the lives of women whose identity and sense of personal value have been stolen through years of occupation.
A Time to Listen and Receive our True Callings
By Lienite Bemera, Director of Partners
RIGA, Latvia – Our "I Am Loved" ministry team just returned from our second women's retreat in Ergli. Women came from various towns, villages, backgrounds and age groups (18 – 70). We were excited to meet and pray for these very special women. This is a blessing that goes both directions.
Our theme was "True Calling." We talked about the hidden "lion" in us that wants to come out to shine in power. As women, we do not have to become someone else to receive God's identity and calling. As we listen to His still, small voice in us, we start to respect ourselves the way God created us. Our calling is not something out there; it lives in us!
Women shared their lives, prayed, spent quiet time with Jesus, and did spiritual exercises. They analyzed their pasts and started to think more seriously about their futures. God touched many women. Some started to remember things they wanted to do as small girls and never dared to do it…like painting. Some felt the urge to worship God through music or to minister to young people. Some wanted to teach other women English. And some were so excited to finally receive the gift of freedom to be themselves without striving or guilt. There were tears, joy and excitement all around!
We opened old, hidden treasure boxes that were full of different gifts ready to be used with joy and gratitude, bearing amazing fruit for the kingdom of God. I saw women rise and shine and become proud of who they are in Jesus.
And that's our women's movement. The goal of "I Am Loved" is to bring Latvian women closer to Jesus, to receive their true identity, value and calling from Him.
Now is the time for Latvian women to rise and shine.

Is The White House Still a Man's Thing?
By Earl Ofari Hutchinson (Page 1 of 1 pages) No comments
There's that question again in the run-up to the 2020 presidential elections. That's whether America is ready to accept a woman president. The question loomed even bigger when Trump and the Republican National Committee recently crowed loudly that it was breaking records with fundraising for Trump's re-election campaign. A big part of this campaign cash came from women.
Then there was yet another poll that showed that one-fifth of Democrats, that's Democrats, say they would "absolutely" vote for a woman presidential contender. In a read between the lines, does that mean that most Democrats have some reservations about Democratic presidential candidates Kamala Harris, Elizabeth Warren, Amy Klobuchar, or Kirsten Gillibrand? A sobering survey found that a paltry thirteen percent of voters claim they'll vote for a woman presidential contender in 2020.
Memories are still fresh of the mild shock of the 2016 presidential election. The shock wasn't that so many women voted for Trump. These women were largely written off as women who were take your pick: less educated, evangelical, blue collar, rural, feared job loss like their husbands and male significant others, were filled with overt and latent racial and anti-immigrant bigotry, or just plain, old fashioned loathed Hillary.
What can't be easily waved away is that almost half of women who seemingly didn't fit the small town, small mind rube branding, voted for him. They were college educated, middle class women who lived in the suburbs. They not only didn't like Hillary, but also didn't like the idea of a woman sitting in the Oval Office. While it's true that women scored big against male rivals in the 2018 mid-term elections, they handily won many local and congressional offices, that's not the White House.
The brutal reality in 2016 was that Hillary was not simply another marked man presidential candidate. She was a marked woman presidential candidate. One media investigative team even compiled hundreds of the most outrageous digs about Clinton from the 2008 campaign from assorted commentators, male and female. Not much changed eight years after that.
The vulgarities were heaped on top of the hard-headed belief of many men and women that a woman just doesn't have the right stuff to be the nation's commander in chief. In one poll nearly 70 percent of men and women were lukewarm at best in answering the question whether they thought women were "respected" in politics. One out of four respondents flatly said that there would never be a woman president, and the most optimistic thought it would take at least another five years before that happened.
Even this seemed to be a step up from polls during the 2008 campaign that consistently showed that far more Americans had a bigger problem voting for a woman for president than an African American. The worst part of that then was that if anyone dared make a racial crack about then Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama they'd have been pounded into the sand as the worst kind of bigot.
The gender gap was first identified and labeled in the 1980 presidential contest between Ronald Reagan and Jimmy Carter. That year Reagan got more than a 20 percent bulge in the margin of male votes over Carter. Women voters by contrast split almost evenly down the middle in backing both Reagan and Carter.
Many of the men that backed Reagan made no secret about why they liked him. His reputed toughness, firmness and refusal to compromise on issues of war and peace fit neatly into the often time stereotypical male qualities of professed courage, determination and toughness. The gender split is always apparent when there's a crisis such as a brush fire war, a physical conflict, or the threat of a terrorist attack.
The backstory, though, in that gender split is that many women held the same views about whether a woman could firmly handle a crisis of war, or a terrorist attack or assure national security, and a strong defense. These are the issues that are perceived as issues that demand "toughness" that supposedly only a man in the Oval Office can handle.
The term that has been bandied about to explain why so many women seemingly vote against their interests is" internalized misogyny." What else can you call it for a woman to scream herself into an apoplectic fit at a Trump rally for a guy who brags about mauling women and then rams that abuse home in public policy from his SCOTUS nomineee to savaging abortion rights. The term is just another way of saying women are totally cowered and conditioned to buy into the world view held by many men on how the world should be ordered. That is with them calling the shots.
Just how much has changed between 2016 and 2020 with the women who backed Trump for whatever reason, is tough to say. One thing is certain the answer to that question will go far toward determining whether the White House is still a man's thing.

The Hawkeye Cadet Council is an independent (non-denominational) youth ministry organization whose purpose is to provide the local church with a ministry program that will enable them to effectively share Christ's love with boys from their church and community.
We are located throughout the central part of Iowa and north into southern Minnesota.
The Calvinist Cadet Corps was founded in 1952 and has more than 600 clubs throughout North America. We encourage any evangelical Bible believing church to consider using our ministry programs. The organization uses the title "Calvinist" to honor the Protestant reformer, John Calvin, who devoted his life to the religious education of God's children.
Our theme this year is "Be a Blessing" based on 2 Corinthians 9:8. "And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work."

Rayfield Allied artists in busy summer opera festival season
As the summer 2018 festival season begins, Rayfield Allied are looking forward to performances by a number of our artists in prestigious summer opera festivals across the UK and beyond.
At Glyndebourne Festival Opera, Handel expert Laurence Cummings conducts the revival of Barrie Kosky's production of Saul, which received great critical acclaim when it premiered at the festival in 2015. American baritone John Chest makes his house and role debut, singing Pelléas Pelléas et Mélisande, which also features in this year's Proms programme. Nicholas Mogg makes his debut at Glyndebourne this summer appearing as Hausknecht in Der Rosenkavalier.
David Sawer's new opera The Skating Rink, commissioned by Garsington Opera, receives its world premiere at Wormsley Estate on July 5th. Australian baritone Grant Doyle returns to Garsington following his well-received Forrester in The Cunning Little Vixen in 2014, stepping in to create the role of Enric in The Skating Rink opposite tenor Sam Furness, who creates the role of Gaspar. Furness also makes his role debut as Flamand and Benjamin Bevan returns to Garsington as Haushofmeister in Capriccio, a production in collaboration with Santa Fe Opera.
Julia Sporsén returns to Opera Holland Park in the role of Komponist Ariadne auf Naxos, which she sang at Scottish Opera earlier this season. A favourite of Holland Park audiences, she won outstanding reviews last year in the title role of Katya Kabanova. Nick Prichard also returns to Opera Holland Park in the role of Ferrando Cosi fan tutte, for which he has already received outstanding reviews.
Following the success of Tosca and Don Carlo at Grange Park Opera, Italian conductor Gianluca Marcianò returns to conduct Un ballo in maschera. Peter Auty also sings the title role of Pushkin in the stage premiere of Konstantin Boyarsky's new opera of the same name, with Novaya Opera at Grange Park Opera. He previously appeared for Grange Park Opera as Cavaradossi Tosca. Mats Almgren sings the role of Frère Laurent in Roméo et Juliette under the baton of Stephen Barlow, and Phillip Rhodes performs Jud Fry in Oklahoma! at Grange Park Opera.
At The Grange Festival, Tim Reed has designed a new production of The Abduction from the Seraglio, directed by John Copley. David Parry also conducts The Barber of Seville, "drawing a vivid, effervescent sound from the Bournemouth Symphony" (Dominic Lowe, Bachtrack ****). Christopher Ainslie reprises the role of Ottone for The Grange Festival Agrippina, providing "the best moment of lyrical grace in his big third act aria, where for once real feeling silenced the cynical manoeuvring." (Ivan Hewett, The Telegraph *****).
Adrian Dwyer appears in the role of the Electrician Powder Her Face at Nevill Holt Opera, after singing the role with great success at the inaugural performance of the new Irish National Opera, and also with Northern Ireland Opera. Anna Harvey reprises the role of Cherubino in Le Nozze di Figaro, which she previously sang for Longborough Festival Opera, and where she also returns this summer to sing Nerone in the festival's new production of L'incoronazione di Poppea.
Further afield, in this year's Buxton International Festival, Nicholas Kok conducts a new production of Idomeneo and the annual Buxton Gala performance with Lesley Garrett. Fflur Wyn makes her debut at West Green House Opera in the role of Cunegonde Candide, Shelley Jackson makes her debut with Dorset Opera in La Bohème as Mimi, a role she recently sang for the Salzburger Landestheater, and Peter Savidge appears in a new opera To See the Invisible by Emily Howard at Aldeburgh Festival. Julia Jones conducts a gala concert also featuring Aida Garifullina and Vittorio Grigòlo at the Ludwigsburger Schlossfestspiele, where she previously appeared with the festival orchestra and Mnozil Brass, and Grant Doyle sings his first Rigoletto at the Opera de Baugé.

Grassley was questioned on CNN's 'Starting Point' Tuesday.
Grassley grilled over court criticism
By MJ LEE
Sen. Chuck Grassley was grilled on CNN Tuesday morning for criticizing a planned Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals conference in Hawaii that the Iowa Republican believes would be unnecessarily costly.
"Forgive me for interrupting but the Ninth Circuit Court includes the state of Hawaii, so it's not like everybody's getting up and going to Hawaii," "Starting Point" host Soledad O'Brien said as Grassley began making his case. "And most of the circuit courts do trips, maybe not to Hawaii but they definitely do a trip. Is this picking on them because they're overwhelmingly liberal?"
In a letter to Chief Judge Alex Kozinski last week, Grassley and Sen. Jeff Sessions said the Aug. 13-16 conference in Maui would cost taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dollars and is "inconsistent with" the judiciary's pressing need to cut back on expenses.
Defending himself Tuesday, Grassley explained that many of his colleagues believe the Ninth Circuit should be broken into two sections. O'Brien again cut in.
"That's neither here nor there on that one," she said. "Talk about the conference."
Later in the conversation, CNN analyst Roland Martin slammed Grassley for criticizing a conference set to take place within the United States.
"If they have this conference in Iowa, would you be complaining? Aren't we sitting here being critical of an American state?" Martin said. "Don't they have the right to have conferences, judicial conferences in states like Hawaii? This is not Jamaica or Aruba. This is the United States of America."
Guest panelist Will Cain also chimed in, saying that a hotel room in Hawaii costs $250 — versus $200 for a room in a place like Kansas City. "What's the big deal here?" he asked.
Grassley maintained that the conference's costs shouldn't be ignored.
"I'll bet you, if you had the Eighth Circuit — which Iowa is part of the Eighth Circuit — you wouldn't be spending $1 million to have a conference," he said.
Sessions also spoke out about the Hawaii conference Tuesday morning, saying the meeting represented the Obama administration's overall failure to rein in spending.
"The president needs to spend more time managing rather than making speeches around the country, in my opinion," the Alabama Republican said on Fox News. "We do not have the money to waste on these kind of projects. The sooner we get the message down to the lowest level of government, that this country has got to change the way we handle the taxpayers' money, the better off we'll be."
He added, "It's not necessary to choose the most expensive spa resort to have a conference."

Here's a picture of Queen Victoria looking very chic! And it's no surprise as she is having a party in a story idea put together by Marley, Mackenzie, Jake, Evie and Corey! She takes a break from the celebrations to go for a walk in the gardens but she meets a huge tarantula. Her guests get scared and start to leave and the Queen is sad. Luckily she is able to use a special device called a Backaboow and this catches the spider and all her guests stay!

Q: help with radians Ok, I am attempting to mark positions on the inside of sphere, (360° Panorama). I am having trouble wrapping my head around the math. I am storing a longitude(between 0 and 2π) and a latitude(between -(π/2) and +(π/2)) for the location of a point.
The problem is i have no control over the the origin point (0,0), it is set to the center of the source image(vert) and join point at the 2 far ends (where the 2 edges of the image meet to complete the sphere). If a new image replaces an old one, the seem may be in a different place, so I figured I would store an offset value for north.
If I know the coordinates of north, how do I work out positions relative to this point? I would like to store the offset value so if a new image is loaded with a new "north" point, the points will still match up (at least as good as how close the 2 north points are together.)
Keep in mind that values outside the ranges specified above would be invalid.
example

A: I failed to find a pure mathematical solution, but have come up with a mix of logic at math that should do the job.
If someone else comes up with a better solution and posts it, I will change that to the selected answer. But in the meantime what i ended up with follows:
To Calculate the position(offset) to store:
    calcOffset = function(point, north){
        var markerLatLng = {lat: '', lng: ''};
        markerLatLng.lat = point.lat-north.lat;
        markerLatLng.lng = point.lng-north.lng;
        return markerLatLng;
    }

To take the stored position(offset) and place it according to 0,0
    useOffset = function(point, north){
        var pi = Math.PI;
        var markerLatLng = {lat: '', lng: ''};
        if((point.lat + north.lat) > (pi / 2)){
            markerLatLng.lat = (point.lat + north.lat)-pi;
        } else if((point.lat + north.lat) < (-1 * (pi / 2))){
            markerLatLng.lat = (point.lat + north.lat) + pi;
        } else {
            markerLatLng.lat = point.lat + north.lat;
        }

        if((point.lng + north.lng) > (pi * 2)){
            markerLatLng.lng = (point.lng + north.lng) - (pi * 2);
        } else if((point.lng + north.lng) < 0){
            markerLatLng.lng = (point.lng + north.lng) + (pi * 2);
        } else {
            markerLatLng.lng = point.lng + north.lng;
        }
        return markerLatLng;
    }

Sorry for the javascript, happens to be what i have to write this in.

New Found Glory has been in the music world long enough to know how to always bring a riotous show.
For anyone having post Warped Tour withdrawals, the coming of the Fall season can be a cure to your ailments. While you get to indulge in all things pumpkin, dress up in crazy costumes, and partake in family traditions, you can also sing your heart out to your favorite artists on some of the year's best tour lineups. From the A Day to Remember/ Bring Me the Horizon adventure to the Wonder Years/ the Story So Far trek, this fall has definitely crafted some gems for the archives. One of the highly anticipated tour lineups on the books is the Glamour Kills Tour featuring New Found Glory, We Are the In Crowd, Fireworks, Candy Hearts, Red City Radio, and Better Off. I headed down to the House of Blues in San Diego to see if New Found Glory can inspire the new generation with "Resurrection".
Heading down to the venue, you could see the lines of fans young and old growing impatient waiting for doors to open from up to a mile away. The sidewalks were buzzing with impromptu singalongs and new friendships being forged over favorite songs from EP's and the like. Once doors opened and fans raced off to cement themselves to the barricade for the best view of the night, I headed to the bar area to secure an optimal spot for viewing and hearing. The opening acts executed their sets without a hitch as the crowd participation continued to grow with more people hustling into the main room.
By the time We Are the In Crowd (WAITC) started their set, the first few rows of the crowd had more than doubled. Admirers of the quintet forged their own path to the overly packed barrier to sing along with Tay Jardine and company. The crowd bounced, wailed, and danced through the course of their performance from start to finish. WAITC definitely stood out to me due to Jardine's impressive live vocal range and the band's abilities to work a stage. I was humming along and bopping my head to their melodies by the end.
Once WAITC's stage equipment had been cleared away, fans reassembled and braced for the impact of the main event. The crowd chants for the band to appear were deafening in the photo pit and continued as their voices swelled until the lights finally came down. It's time for New Found Glory to show us why they remained in our playlists all these years.
The energy was set to a new high by the time New Found Glory hit the stage. Once the band dove into the opening riffs for "Selfless", the crowd rushed the stage while show veterans gave way to the pit. I was quickly catapulted back to my memories of the numerous times I've caught NFG over the years and caught bodies for NFG as well. While the crowds may differ, the emotions and rush of happiness hasn't changed one bit. The band was up to their usual high energy antics- hyping up the fans and setting the premise for yet another great night with New Found Glory.
The set list for this tour couldn't have been more perfect. Fan favorites like "Failure's Not Flattering", "My Friends Over you", and "Truth of My Youth" were planted in between new tracks like "Stubborn" and "Selfless"- giving the fans a glimpse at how far New Found Glory has come. I enjoyed the older material being spread throughout their set because it gave us a chance to catch our breaths while getting a firsthand glimpse into the raw, honest themes of the new record. Fans listened intently to each chorus and riff for the songs on this release, seemingly excited for what else appears on their latest album, Resurrection.
With the departure of founding member and primary songwriter Steve Klein last year causing concerns for New Found Glory's future in pop punk, this live performance confirmed that New Found Glory hasn't missed a beat since the hiatus. The newer tracks displayed on this tour are the perfect mix of nostalgic and future NFG, a common ground of catchy riffs and themes for both new and old fans to connect with. The night ended with an encore performance of "All Downhill from Here" and as I looked around the sea of bodies making the most of this crowd classic, I realized in that moment how perfect this album title is for one of the scene's most respected acts.
Check out the live photos below from New Found Glory's set at the San Diego House of Blues.

No junk food tax policies in government's anti-obesity drive, minister says
The government's new anti-obesity drive will not include any new taxes to discourage people from buying unhealthy food, the government has said.
Health minister Helen Whately said there was evidence that the government's levy on sugary soft drinks had worked by encouraging companies to reduce the sugar content of their products.
But she said the package announced on Monday would not include further tax measures and instead focus on other interventions like an NHS weight-loss app and restrictions on advertising and buy-one-get-one-free offers.
The announcement will disappoint some health campaigners and doctors who have said tax incentives on junk food could encourage people to make healthier choices, and in particular stem an epidemic of childhood obesity.
"In the policies that we're introducing today, there's two sides of it: one is to support people in changing some of their lifestyle in making better choices, in losing weight where they want to lose weight," the minister told the BBC.
"That's, for instance, giving people access to an NHS weight-loss app so that people can follow a 12-week programme, be healthier, eat healthier, lose weight.
"The other is to control some of the influences that mean people are making less healthy choices than they might want to – so that's looking at the advertising, the buy-one-get-one-free offers, those sorts of things so that people are making the kind of choices that they probably want to make."
Last year, health secretary Matt Hancock declined to rule out a new tax on certain sugary and fatty products. Such a policy had been backed by the former chief medical officer Dame Sally Davies, who was replaced by Chris Whitty last year.
Campaign groups such as Action on Sugar and Action on Salt have said that the government's policy of letting manufacturers self-regulate the content of their foods has failed and was leading to an epidemic of childhood obesity.
The NHS in England says there were 11,117 hospital admissions in 2018-19 directly attributable to obesity and 876,000 where it was a factor, an increase of 23 per cent on the previous year.

26 per cent of men and 29 per cent of women are clinically obese, with 67 per cent of men and 60 per cent of women overweight respectively. The health service says 20 per cent of year 6 children are obese, with the prevalence almost twice as high in deprived areas
The Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS) said the policies unveiled by the government could have a positive effect on healthy consumption, but that firms might try to find loopholes.

In a research note the organisation said a ban would still leave fast food restaurants "free to advertise products such as carrots or fruit boxes" and that they could also choose to shift advertising to different media or to non-restricted programmes.
"If advertising of these healthier products increases consumption of less healthy, but similarly branded, alternatives, then the policy could be less effective than hoped," they said.
But it says research shows 60 per cent of all television advertising for food that might be covered by such a ban is shown pre-watershed.
Rebekah Stroud, a research economist at the IFS, said: "The majority of television adverts that people see for unhealthy food and drink are shown before the 9pm watershed. However, the extent to which banning these adverts will reduce obesity will depend on whether firms increase advertising at other times or on other media, and on how advertising affects what people choose to eat and drink."

When I go on road trips of flights I have a bad habit of buying things like US Magazine or other gossipy type ones. One thing I always laugh at is their Celebrities: they are just like us category. Where they have photos of celebs buying groceries, pumping gas, or ordering a Starbucks. Wow, they are just like me. Not.
When I was little I used to love to dunk French fries into Wendy's Frostys (and by little I mean like last week). I thought I was really, really weird. Which for the record I am. But I thought I was the only person doing this. Turns out, lots of people were just like me in doing this…probably even a few celebrities!
So when eyeing some little kids Frosty the other day it got me thinking that I need to figure out how to use those flavors in a dessert. I also wanted a donut. Thus the idea began. Kita wanted me to do raised donuts. I really wanted a cake donut. Which was odd because normally I am a raised girl. But for some reason I felt that these needed to be cake.
Yes I used melted ice cream because well I was going for ice cream flavor. I went with the shoestring potato chips because I just felt the fries would get soggy. Even the chips get soggy after a few hours…so keep that in mind when you are making these that you are going to want to eat them the day of.
In a small saucepan add the melted ice cream and heat until just about to boil.
Add the chocolate chips to the saucepan and remove from heat. Let sit for 5 minutes. Then whisk together. If all the chips did not melt, heat over low heat until they melt with the ice cream.
Whisk in the corn syrup, malted milk, and vanilla.
Dip one side of donut into chocolate glaze.
Top immediately with potato straws (aka French fries).
This is such a fun recipe! I am sure they are amazingly delicious!!!
There you go just blowing me away again!
*raises hand* Completely guilty of dunking my french fries in Frosties (and milk shakes from Burger King).
Hmmmmm…..do I want a Wendy's frosty or Krispie Kreme doughnuts for lunch now?????? Too far apart to hit up both – LOL!
French fries in frosty = awesome!
Best. Opening line. EVER! 😀 Bahahahaha!


Competitions are an effective way to get people motivated and to identify best practices. They work because people tend to be motivated by actionable steps, a deadline, and an incentive. At Penn, staff Eco-Reps (supported by Re:Vision through a multi-year consultancy) led their teams in identifying ways to save energy by simply turning off unnecessary equipment. In just 20 days, participants cut energy use by 52,688 kWh across five buildings, saving Penn $4,500 in those first 20 days.
The winning team was from the Franklin building, where energy use was cut by an impressive 20%. To get there, the team coalesced around the time-tested strategy of de-lamping. Because corridors and common areas were already considered too bright, removing 20% of the bulbs made sense for all the right reasons.

Gräf & Stift (od roku 1907: Wiener Automobilfabrik A.G., vorm. Gräf & Stift) byl rakouský výrobce automobilů, autobusů a dalších vozidel. Společnost založili v roce 1904 bratři Franz (1874–1940), Heinrich (1877–1943) a Carl Gräf (1871–1939) společně s obchodníkem a investorem Wilhelmem Stiftem (1845–1917). V roce 1971 převzala kontrolu nad firmou společnost ÖAF a později ve stejném roce koncern MAN.

Historie firmy
V roce 1896 založili tři bratři Gräfovi ve Vídni dílnu, v níž od roku 1897 vyráběli první osobní automobily osazené vodou chlazenými čtyřválcovými motory. Vozy měly čtyřstupňovou převodovku s ozubenými koly a kulisovým řazením, což byl podstatný rozdíl oproti tehdy používaným řemenovým převodům. V roce 1898 byl vyroben první automobil s pohonem předních kol. Tento princip si firma nechala v roce 1900 patentovat.

Investor Wilhelm Stift starší s bratry Gräfovými založil 1. listopadu 1901 veřejnou obchodní společnost Gräf & Stift, která od roku 1904 sídlila na adrese Weinberggasse 70, Vídeň-Döbling (část Sievering). Od roku 1905 vyráběla firma především velké limuzíny (mezi jinými i pro habsburský císařský dvůr, byla C. a k. dvorním dodavatelem) a autobusy, od roku 1908 mimo jiné využívané i pro přepravu turistů. Kromě toho byl Gräf & Stift jedním z nevýznamnějších rakouských výrobců autobusů jak pro městskou tak i dálkovou dopravu a vyráběl i nástavby pro tramvaje. Autobus Gräf & Stift Dolomitenbus měl motor o výkonu 22 kW (30 k), sklápěcí střechu a jedenáct sedadel rozdělených do dvou tříd. Byl využíván na trase Vídeň – Bolzano.

Automobily firmy nesly na svých chladičích figurku lva. Předlohou byly sochy, které navrhl malíř Rudolf Weyr pro pylony mostu na nussdorfském jezu.

Po vypuknutí první světové války vyráběla firma nákladní automobily s cílem uspokojit válečné potřeby, což se společně s výrobou autobusů a speciálních vozidel stalo hlavním výrobním programem a umožnilo jí rozkvět i této obtížné době. Ve válečných letech 1916/17 byla továrna v Döblingu podstatně rozšířena, autorem projektu byl architekt Philipp Jakob Manz.

Výroba osobních vozů byla obnovena až v roce 1920, kdy byl na trh uveden vůz střední třídy s motorem o objemu 2 litry označený VK. Byl sice vyráběn až do roku 1928 (od roku 1926 jako modernizovaný typ VK 2), ale již v roce 1921 se továrna Gräf & Stift vrátila k výrobě luxusních vozů, s řadou velkých modelů s šestiválcovými motory, které vyráběla celé desetiletí. V roce 1930 společnost představila svůj první vůz s osmiválcovým motorem do V, typ SP 8, v roce 1937 nahrazený také luxusním typem SP 9. Aby byla i nadále zajištěna ziskovost podnikání zahájila firma také výrobu menších modelů, označených G 35, G 36 a G 8, poháněných osmiválci o objemu 4,6 litru.

Už v roce 1929 došlo k fúzi firem Gräf & Stift s automobilkou Perl, která měla od roku 1922 sídlo v dnešním obvodě Liesing. Zde byly zpočátku vyráběny především nákladní automobily a autobusy, produkce byla ještě v témže roce dočasně pozastavena. 28. května 1931 byla slavnostně zahájena pravidelná linková doprava na trase Vídeň – Budapešť, nasazeny byly autobusy Gräf & Stift. První jízdu, která trvala šest hodin, uskutečnil za volantem konstruktér Ing. Josef Gräf mladší.

Pro výrobu vozů nižší třídy společnost uzavřela smlouvu s francouzskou automobilkou Citroën o kompletaci jejího modelu 15 CV pod označením MF 6. Vyráběn byl v letech 1935-1936 a osazen šestiválcovým motorem o objemu 2,65 litru. Gräf & Stift přitom výrobu vlastních šestiválcových motorů ukončil v roce 1935. Později společnost spolupracovala s kolínským závodem Ford a v licenci vyráběla vozy s osmiválci označené Gräf-Ford V8.

Ani jeden z těchto projektů ale nebyl příliš úspěšný a tak se z nich firma stáhla. Posledním vlastním modelem byl poněkud modernější typ C 12, vybavený novým dvanáctiválcovým motorem. Vyroben byl pouze ve velmi omezeném počtu v roce 1938. V březnových dnech roku 1938 zaměstnávala firma kolem 300 lidí, částečně pracujících ve zkrácené pracovní době. Po "Anšlusu" zde bylo zaměstnáno 1500 lidí a výrobní program byl změněn na velkosériovou výrobu nákladních vozů a automobilů.

Po II. světové válce nebyla výroba osobních automobilů obnovena. První trolejbus vyrobila továrna v roce 1948. Po roce 1960 se hospodaření společnosti začínalo dostávat do ztrát. V roce 1964 bylo vyrobeno pouze 165 nákladních automobilů. V roce 1970 se ztráta ještě dále zvyšovala. Firma Gräf & Stift začala vyjednávat s firmou Österreichischen Automobil Fabriks-AG a v roce 1971 získala ÖAF 99 % akcií firmy Gräf. Nový název firmy zněl ÖAF-Gräf & Stift AG. Ještě v témže roce převzal všechny aktivity koncern MAN AG. Výsledkem bylo nahrazení vozů vlastní konstrukce výrobou mírně modifikovaných nákladních vozidel a autobusů MAN. V roce 1978 obdržela firma "státní ocenění" (Staatliche Auszeichnung) a povolení k užívání státního znaku v obchodním styku. V roce 1988 vybudovala firma MAN na místě staré továrny Gräf & Stift v Liesingu nové provozní budovy.

V roce 2004 investoval MAN opět sedm milionů Euro do moderní a k životnímu prostředí šetrné lakovny. Staré provozy Gräf & Stift patřící holdingu MAN jsou čtvrtým největším zaměstnavatelem v okrese. Od roku 1988 připomíná zakladatele společnosti v Döblingu stezka pojmenovaná Gräfweg.

Atentát v Sarajevu

Jeden z luxusních vozů Gräf & Stift Doppelphaeton, výrobního čísla 287, zakoupil František Maria Harrach 15. prosince 1910. Vůz byl osazen čtyřválcovým motorem o výkonu 28 kW (32 koní).

28. června 1914 v Sarajevu jel v tomto voze, řízeném Leopoldem Lojkou, následník trůnu František Ferdinand d'Este, jeho manželka Žofie Chotková, guvernér Oskar Potiorek a podplukovník Franz von Harrach. Po nezdařeném bombovém útoku na kolonu vozů byl arcivévoda František Ferdinand s chotí po další jízdě na jiném místě zastřelen srbským separatistou Gavrilo Principem. Atentát spáchaný na následníka rakousko-uherského trůnu, byl záminkou k vyhlášení války Srbsku Rakousko-Uherskem a je považován za jednu z příčin první světové války.

Dochovaný automobil je vystaven ve Vojensko-historickém muzeu ve Vídni.

Vozidla

Osobní automobily 1920–1938

Autobusy

Jedním z typů vyráběných společností Gräf & Stift byl autobus s typovým označením DD-U 10. Šlo o třínápravový dvoupatrový autobus pro 105 cestujících (66 sedadel). Jeho základem byl městský linkový autobus TS-U 10. Pohonné jednotky o výkonu 150 koní pocházely převážně od německé firmy Büssing AG.

Trolejbusy
ÖAF Gräf & Stift vyráběla také trolejbusy pro města Salcburk, Linec a Innsbruck v Rakousku, Solingen, Eberswalde v Německu a Bergen v Norsku.

Nákladní vozidla

Gräf & Stift ZAFD byl tahač vyráběný pro rakouský Bundesheer. Byl dodáván jako dvou či třínápravový vůz s pohonem 4x4 nebo 6x6 s jednoduchou nebo prodlouženou kabinou. Jednou z těžkých verzí byl třínápravový typ ZT 200. Kolem roku 1960 byl vyráběn tahač návěsů ZVT-9F, tento typ byl kromě jiných dodáván i do NDR. Řada L/LA 200 měla zvlášť velký podíl standardizovaných dílů. Ze základního typu vycházela vozidla s užitečnou hmotností od 5,3 do 18,5 tun.

Zvláštní vozidla
Kromě autobusů vyráběla firma Gräf & Stift také nástavby pro tramvaje, stejně jako autobusy a nástavby jako mobilní "poštovní úřady", autobusy pro provádění odběrů krve či rentgenová vyšetření, lazaretní autobusy pro Bundesheer, stejně jako letištní autobusy s délkou 14 a šířkou 3,5 metru pro letiště Wien-Schwechat a Los Angeles v USA.

Howard kicked off Wednesday's Stern Show by previewing next week's Newly-Wet Game, pitting Stern Show staffer Brent Hatley, his wife Katelyn, and her new breasts against Ronnie "the Limo Driver" Mund and his fiancée Stephanie.
While the contest is all in good fun, Executive Producer Gary Dell'Abate revealed there's serious debate in the back office over which couple will emerge victorious and many staffers are placing cash wagers.
For his money, Gary. liked Brent's chances. "It's really nothing against Ronnie. I think Ronnie's like most guys—he half-listens, so I think he'll just know half the stuff," Gary explained.
But Howard, who will host the on-air competition, and co-host Robin Quivers both put their money on Howard's longtime limo driver, who might not be married to Stephanie but has been in a relationship with her for a dozen years. They made wagers with staffer Memet Walker who, despite defeating Brent in last year's much-ballyhooed I.Q. test, thinks his on-air rival will win this competition. He was so confident, in fact, he bet $500 in total on Brent.
Brent also updated everyone on his wife's recent surgery to replace her defective breast implants. She is apparently recovering nicely after getting 585 cubic centimeters of silicone installed into her chest.
"That's a lot of CCs," Howard said. "That's over a D-cup, isn't it?"
"Oh, easily over a D-Cup," Brent responded. "She's going to be a double or triple-D—somewhere in that range."

One night per year the Gateway Arch is lit with pink lights for breast cancer awareness. These images were taken in 2011 and 2012. The Arch was not lit in Pink lights in 2013 because of a government shutdown, and it wasn't lit in Pink in 2015 because of construction of a new visitor center.


CoaXPress is a new digital interface technology capable of sending power, General Purpose IO, commands and image data at (very) high speeds.
With CoaXPress, a camera can be connected to a system using just one standard coax cable. Contrary to most high performance interface solutions like Camera Link which use stiff cables up to 10 meters in length, CoaXPress supports lengths up to and over 50 meters with a very flexible coax cable.
In addition, data rates far beyond Camera Link (Full) can be handled. This makes CoaXPress very suited for Plug and Play interfacing in current and future applications.
CoaXPress was developed by Adimec and EqcoLogic. EqcoLogic's proprietary equalizer technology enables the use of standard coaxial cables also at ground breaking data rates.
"We are very proud to bring this enabling interface to the market. This cost effective scalable solution supports high data rate transmission over a simple coax cable. I'm sure that this will excite the industry and we expect that this interface will evolve into a standard", states Andries Hofman, CEO of Adimec.
Equipment Manufacturers are looking for components and solutions that will give a competitive edge to their business and facilitate the ever more demanding system requirements in today's markets.
Just Smit, President of Sales & Marketing at Adimec states, "CoaXPress will help equipment manufacturers to accomplish their goals in the future by offering reliable high data rate image transmission by a simple, long and flexible cable especially with pan-tilt and other moving camera heads.
Adimec introduces CoaXPress technology to the market via the OPAL camera family. The new cameras in the OPAL series are fully Camera Link compatible while eliminating the drawbacks of Camera Link cabling on length, flexibility and ease of integration by using CoaXPress technology as an internal interface.
With Adimec's OPAL cameras, you are now able to transfer image data, include power and apply general purpose IO and camera commands over one single standard RG59 coax cable up to 50 meters length. If needed, bridge even further distances without repeaters or hubs by using higher quality coax cables.
Simplify your connectivity infrastructure. Utilize our excellence in imaging in accuracy, throughput and connectivity with our OPAL Camera Link cameras with CoaXPress technology.

Kelecsény () település Ukrajnában, Kárpátalján, a Huszti járásban.

Fekvése
Huszttól északra, Ökörmezőtől északnyugatra, Fülöpfalva, Repenye és Iszka közt, a Repinka folyó mentén fekvő település. Az Ökörmezői járás három legnagyobb településének egyike, mely a Szolyvai-havasokban található, a tengerszint felett 700-750 méteres magasságban, és több hegyi patak is keresztülfolyik rajta.

Története
Kelecsényt a Verhovina egyik legrégibb települése. A Bilkei, Lipcsei, Bilkei Gorzó és Urmezei kenézcsaládok telepítettek a 15. században Ripinye és Vízköz falvakkal együtt. Nevét 1457-ben említette először oklevél Keleczen néven, amikor a Bilkei és az Urmezei családok pereskedtek érte, majd a falvakat maguk közt egyenlő részre osztották fel.

A települést még a 15. század végén a Dolhaiak, akik leányágáról a Barczi, Bejczi, Budai, Imrefi, Kornis, Sibrik családok szerezték meg. 1550-ben Bilkei Péter, Dolhai György és Imre, 1600-ban Kornis György, Bernáth László és más nemesek birtoka volt. 1610-ben Kelechien néven írták.

A falut 1659 körül a krími tatárok elpusztították. Ekkor pusztult el első fatemploma is, amelynek helyébe a 19. században emelték új fatemplomukat. Ez azonban 1871-ben leégett, csak a mellette álló fa harangláb maradt meg.

A trianoni békeszerződés előtt Máramaros vármegye Ökörmezői járásához tartozott. 1910-ben 762 lakosából 16 magyar, 49 német, 697 ruszin volt. Ebből 707 görögkatolikus, 49 izraelita volt.

Nevezetességek
 Fa harangláb - négyszög alaprajzú, kétszintes épület.

Híres emberek
 Itt született 1874. március 17-én Avgusztin Volosin, a rövid ideig független Kárpátalja miniszterelnöke.
