How to Find the Euro Level of a Truck
In view of the ever-increasing awareness of the impact of exhaust emissions on the environment; the European Emissions Standards policy staged the introduction of increasingly stringent standards for all new trucks sold in the European Union and EEA member states to meet. With climate control being a long-standing concern; this policy should have been lauded by everyone, but it did (and still can) cause confusion for those in the haulage and logistics industry for it was a complicated issue for the average Joe.
With swings in the new and used vehicle markets seen because of the different Euro standards and their potential effect on businesses, it is important for those who own or are thinking of owning a truck to know exactly what these standards are and whether their vehicles meet them through being a new-build or conversion. The most recent Euro Standard is Euro 6 which came into effect in January 2014 with Euro 5,4,3 and 2 being previous standards; many of these former Euro Standards are still on the road.
So, if you are buying a used truck – how do you tell the Euro Standard?
Look at the truck
Although you may think the Euro Standard would be printed on the log book or V5 of the vehicle – that would actually be too easy! The DVLA do not receive any budgeting to do this, and so an inspection of the vehicle is usually necessary. For versions 4 and above; many helpful manufacturers put a badge on the truck, but frustratingly this is not always the case.
Turning to the internet
TfL that will inform you whether a lorry meets the London low emissions zone, but this will not tell you if your vehicle is a Euro 2,3,4 or 5. Businesses beware! Trucks have to be a minimum of Euro 4 to operate within London's low emission zone or face paying a £200 daily fine.
This scheme allowed vehicles that didn't appear to meet the newest incoming legislation of Euro 6 to be re-registered after 31st December 2013, but this was a carefully controlled process carried out within a short window of time where pre-defined rules had to be met. This only applied to new vehicles but Euro 5 trucks were able to be registered as meeting Euro 6 particle emissions (PM) for one year after that date provided they met legislative requirements applicable at their first time of registration. This meant that any vehicles manufactured in the October, November and December 2013 HAD to be registered before the 31st December to be considered Euro 6.
The table below is only a guide, and the onus is on the buyer to personally confirm the Euro Level of a truck they are wishing to buy. An older vehicle may have had a conversion to meet LEZ (low emission zone) standards, or it may have been a truck that is older than when it was actually registered.
Quick Guide to Euro Levels
Euro Level Year Reg Codes within Euro Level
Euro 0 1989 Oct F, G
Euro 1 1993 Oct K, L, M, N some P
Euro 2 1996 Oct Some P, R, S, T, V, W some X
Euro 3 2000 Oct Some X, Y, 51, 02, 52, 03, 53, 04, 54, 05 some 55
Euro 4 2006 Oct Some 56, 07, 57, 08, 58, 09 some 59
Euro 5 & EEV 2009 Oct Some 59, 10, 60, 11, 61, 12, 62, 13 some 63
Euro 6 2014 Jan Few 13, some 63, 14 onwards
Pre-Euro 4
With trucks approaching 13 years old it is perhaps wise for businesses to think about replacing with a new fangled Euro 4, 5 or 6 vehicle.
Euro 4 and 5
These standards were launched fairly close to each other with similar technology to meet required standards with either SCR or EGR technology used. SCR needs a blue liquid to run.
The PM limit is half that for Euro 5, so Euro 6 means business but trucks meeting these standards means that they are naturally pricier to buy and more expensive to run.

After a 20-year journey involving six tiers of European emissions limits, some truck exhausts can now be described as near zero due to new technology and choices. Mac's Truck has also moved with the times and supply brand new and quality used vehicles via flexible payment terms to meet the latest Euro Standards.

Q: zend framework zf command not working m using wamp and zend framework. firstly i had installed wamp localhost working fine then.
downloaded Zend framework.
added php path, zend library path in environment variable of windows.
enabled rewrite module and set include path in php.ini
which i get correct in phpinfo file.
after this m trying to execute
zf create project FirstProject

after this command on console i get an error
In order to run the zf command, you need to ensure that Zend Framework
is inside your include_path.  There are a variety of ways that you can
ensure that this zf command line tool knows where the Zend Framework
library is on your system, but not all of them can be described here.

The easiest way to get the zf command running is to give it the include
path via an environment variable ZEND_TOOL_INCLUDE_PATH or
ZEND_TOOL_INCLUDE_PATH_PREPEND with the proper include path to use,
then run the command "zf --setup".  This command is designed to create
a storage location for your user, as well as create the zf.ini file
that the zf command will consult in order to run properly on your
system.

To change the setup of this tool, run: "zf --setup"

thanks for ur help in advance.

A: I know you said you've added the php and library path but if you could make sure again that the your environment variables are definitley set correctly that would be great.
NOTE: it's the bin directory that is needed for zend tool to work correctly.
If still not working after this let me know and we can go from there.
Variable name: should be set to
Path

And the Variable value: should contain a link like
C:\Zend\ZendServer\share\ZendFramework\bin;

Your link is likely to be different as I installed Zend Server in a different location from default and the framework is available through the 'share' directory.
Make sure the link you put in there points to the directory that the zf.bat (on a Windows system - I believe you're using WAMP) lives in and you should be able to test it's working from a command prompt using just the zf command.
To get to the GUI where you can update the environment variables:
1) Right click on the Computer icon on your Desktop and choose Properties option.
2) In the System window click on Advanced system settings in the left pane
3) In the System Properties window select Advanced tab and click on Environment Variables
4) In the Environment Variables window you will notice two columns - User variables for a username and System variables
5) In the System variables section scroll down to 'Path' and then highlight it and click 'Edit'
6) At the end of the last entry place a ; character and then paste the path to the ZendFramework\bin on your system like above

Hope this helps,
Dave

A: The fact that your getting this message means its finding the zf tool in bin just fine. Its the location of your zend library files its not finding. You must copy just the /Zend folder from the /library/Zend in the unzipped dir into some location. The preferred way is to copy the /Zend folder right into your php/includes folder and that way don't even have to add anything to your php.ini include_path parameter or you must at least un-comment it. So after you move the dir will look like /php/includes/Zend and the include_path will be 'c:\php\includes'

A: "So after you move the dir will look like /php/includes/Zend and the include_path will be 'c:\php\includes'"
Im not a PHP pro developer, but I'd remark in the above good explanation that Andy gave, that you should be careful to set the include_path only with 'c:\php\includes' and not with 'c:\php\includes\Zend' as I supposed, and didn't work till I tested taking out the 'Zend' from the path ... hope this is useful. Cheers.

A: Try this simple technique:
STEP 1 :  create a folder in your Program Files directory and name it  ZendFrameworkCli.
C:\Program Files\ZendFrameworkCli

STEP 2 :  copy bin and library  from your Zend Framework files and paste into above mentioned directory.
SEPT 3 :   set  paths going into system settings environment variables.
             For PHP it will be C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.3.5;
             and to use Zend from client C:\Program Files\ZendFrameworkCli\bin;

Global Positioning System constraints on fault slip rates in the Death Valley region, California and Nevada
Bennett, R. A. and Wernicke, B. P. and Davis, J. L. and Elósegui, P. and Snow, J. K. and Abolins, M. J. and House, M. A. and Stirewalt, G. L. (1997) Global Positioning System constraints on fault slip rates in the Death Valley region, California and Nevada. Geophysical Research Letters, 24 (23). pp. 3073-3076. ISSN 0094-8276. doi:10.1029/97GL02951. https://resolver.caltech.edu/CaltechAUTHORS:20140806-115552261
We estimated horizontal velocities at 15 locations in the vicinity of Yucca Mountain, Nevada, from Global Positioning System surveys conducted between 1991 and 1996. We used these velocity estimates to infer slip rates on two major Quaternary faults within the eastern California shear zone (ECSZ), the Hunter Mountain and Death Valley faults. The sum of slip rates across the two faults is well determined at 5 ± 1 mm/yr (1-σ). Between 3 to 5 mm/yr of this motion appears to be accommodated along the Death Valley fault, implying 30–50 m of strain accumulation over the next 10,000 yr. If so, there is potential for 5 to 10 M_(w) 6.5–7.5 earthquakes during this period, a finding consistent with paleoseismological studies of the fault zone. Yucca Mountain, which lies 50 km east of the ECSZ, is the proposed location for the disposal of high-level nuclear waste in the United States.

DeLaughter Pleads Guilty
By Adam Lynch Wednesday, August 5, 2009 5:08 p.m. CDT
Courtesy WLBT
Former Hinds County Circuit Court Judge Bobby DeLaughter (right) and attorney Cynthia Speetjens.
Former Hinds County Circuit Court Judge Bobby DeLaughter, 55, resigned his job and pleaded guilty to misleading authorities this week. The former judge had five counts against him, all representing various forms of corruption, but he pled guilty to the one count arguably carrying the lightest sentence, obstruction of justice. He will spend 18 months in a federal prison and will lose his law license.
As part of his deal, DeLaughter does not have to cooperate with federal agents to help indict others who may have participated in some form of judicial corruption. U.S. District Judge Glen Davidson could still toss DeLaughter's plea, setting the judge up for an August trial, but DeLaughter's plea deal suggests that federal authorities will not be pushing very hard for DeLaughter's cooperation in future investigations.
DeLaughter's Chicago attorney Thomas Durkin claims the former judge had a compelling argument against his former boss, long-time Hinds County District Attorney Ed Peters, who is working with authorities. The feds currently have the testimony of two convicted former attorneys, Timothy Balducci and Joey Langston, and one ex-district attorney, Peters, who is fighting to retain his immunity from prosecution. DeLaughter has his own view of Balducci and Langston's testimony as well as a lie detector test saying he wasn't influenced by Peters in deciding an attorney's fee dispute with convicted attorney Dickie Scruggs.
Peters and the two attorneys claim that Peters got $1 million to try to influence DeLaughter, but nobody's talking about the money DeLaughter got from Peters.
They do have an argument that, after Peters came onboard with Scruggs, DeLaughter's opinion differed from that of a Hinds County Court special master who concluded that Scruggs owed his former partners about $15 million in extra cash. (DeLaughter disagreed, saying Scruggs actually owed no more than $1.5 million). The feds also have the assurance of the convicted lawyers that DeLaughter showed Scruggs' people one of his judicial orders related to the Wilson v. Scruggs case before filing it.
Balducci and Langston have also testified that Scruggs told DeLaughter that he would have a word with his brother-in-law, former Republican U.S. Sen. Trent Lott, to drop his name for a federal judicial appointment.
The last allegation, especially, may not hold up under court questioning. Lott immediately retired after feds raided Scruggs' office in 2007, and he vehemently denies he made anything more than a courtesy call to DeLaughter. Authorities also have not announced any investigation pending against Lott for his work in Scruggs' corruption case.
Durkin says the judge can disprove all of the corruption charges as a battle of opinion, though DeLaughter apparently is unwilling to argue that he misled authorities about his communication with Peters on the Wilson case, which DeLaughter at one point denied.
The federal case isn't as strong as many prosecutors would like, and Mississippi College School of Law professor Matt Steffey is "telling anyone who will listen" that the biggest crook in the DeLaughter case appears to be Peters, who seems to be getting off with immunity.
"I've said time and again that Peters is the guy who actively peddled his influence, according to his own confessions," Steffey said. "The U.S. attorney may prize catching a judge, but there is little doubt that Peters' culpability was vastly greater. He's a gun for hire. He is literally an illegal influence for hire. It's nothing but avarice and trading on his former role as a district attorney and trusted former confidant. It's one thing to plead to a reduced charge, but in my judgment, complete immunity was too high a price to pay."
Steffey said that there is no promise that Peters' immunity will extend to future allegations of corruption that prosecutors might lodge against him.
Still, DeLaughter is no innocent victim, according to advocates against wrongful incarceration.
New Orleans-based Innocence Project attorneys overturned the wrongful conviction of Jackson resident Cedric Willis after Willis spent 12 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit. DeLaughter, a former Hinds County prosecutor at the time of Willis' conviction, convinced Hinds County Circuit Court Judge Breland Hillburn to toss DNA evidence and witness testimony that would have proved Willis' innocence.
"(DeLaughter and Ed Peters) knowingly sent an innocent man to the penitentiary for the rest of his life … and there is no way of knowing if Cedric was the only one, though I doubt it," said Emily Maw, director of the Innocence Project, who helped get Willis' conviction overturned with the help of the DNA evidence that DeLaughter excluded.
Both DeLaughter and Hillburn are immune to prosecution or suit for knowingly prosecuting the wrong person, but Maw said that few members of the media are focusing on the fact that DeLaughter's choice to wrongfully pursue Willis allowed the case to grow cold on the real murderer in the Willis case.
I can't believe Ed isn't volunteering to do some of this time for his boy. HOW IN THE HELL DID ED GET THE MONEY AND FREEDOM AND BOBBY D GOT THE SHAFT AND JAIL?
Ain't it the truth? I've smelled a Peters-DeLaughter rat ever since we did the Cedric Willis story, and then the Juvenile Detention Center research. It's seemed clear to me for years now that there are many different ghosts of Mississippi. I'm glad all this is unraveling. These guys got a pass for way too many years in this town. And from what I've seen, this all could have been busted up years ago, had people (and journalists) cared enough. Nuff said.

Bad Cree by Jessica Johns
When Mackenzie wakes up with a severed crow's head in her hands, she panics. Only moments earlier she had been fending off masses of birds in a snow-covered forest. In bed, when she blinks, the head disappears.
Night after night, Mackenzie's dreams return her to a memory from before her sister Sabrina's untimely death: a weekend at the family's lakefront campsite, long obscured by a fog of guilt. But when the waking world starts closing in, too—a murder of crows stalks her every move around the city, she wakes up from a dream of drowning throwing up water, and gets threatening text messages from someone claiming to be Sabrina—Mackenzie knows this is more than she can handle alone.
Traveling north to her rural hometown in Alberta, she finds her family still steeped in the same grief that she ran away to Vancouver to escape. They welcome her back, but their shaky reunion only seems to intensify her dreams—and make them more dangerous.
City Under One Roof by Iris Yamashita
When a local teenager discovers a severed hand and foot washed up on the shore of the small town of Point Mettier, Alaska, Cara Kennedy is on the case. A detective from Anchorage, she has her own motives for investigating the possible murder in this isolated place, which can be accessed only by a tunnel.
After a blizzard causes the tunnel to close indefinitely, Cara is stuck among the odd and suspicious residents of the town—all 205 of whom live in the same high-rise building and are as icy as the weather. Cara teams up with Point Mettier police officer Joe Barkowski, but before long the investigation is upended by fearsome gang members from a nearby native village.
Emily Wilde's Encyclopaedia of Faeries by Heather Fawcett
Cambridge professor Emily Wilde is good at many things: She is the foremost expert on the study of faeries. She is a genius scholar and a meticulous researcher who is writing the world's first encyclopaedia of faerie lore. But Emily Wilde is not good at people. She could never make small talk at a party–much less get invited to one. And she prefers the company of her books, her dog Shadow, and the Fair Folk to other people.
So when she arrives in the hardscrabble village of Hransvik, Emily has no intention of befriending the gruff townsfolk. Nor does she care to spend time with another new arrival: her dashing and insufferably handsome academic rival Wendell Bambleby, who manages to charm the townsfolk, get in the middle of her research, and utterly confound and frustrate Emily.
But as Emily gets closer and closer to uncovering the secrets of the Hidden Ones—the most elusive of all faeries–lurking in the shadowy forest outside the town, she also finds herself on the trail of another mystery: Who is Wendell Bambleby, and what does he really want? To find the answer, she'll have to unlock the greatest mystery of all–her own heart.
Ghost Season by Fatin Abbas

Meanwhile, Sudanese American filmmaker Dena struggles to connect to her unfamiliar homeland, and white midwestern aid worker Alex finds his plans thwarted by a changing climate and looming civil war. Dancing between the adults is Mustafa, a clever, endearing twelve-year-old, whose schemes to rise out of poverty set off cataclysmic events on the compound.
The Daughters of Izdihar by Hadeer Elsbai
As a waterweaver, Nehal can move and shape any water to her will, but she's limited by her lack of formal education. She desires nothing more than to attend the newly opened Weaving Academy, take complete control of her powers, and pursue a glorious future on the battlefield with the first all-female military regiment. But her family cannot afford to let her go—crushed under her father's gambling debt, Nehal is forcibly married into a wealthy merchant family. Her new spouse, Nico, is indifferent and distant and in love with another woman, a bookseller named Giorgina.
Giorgina has her own secret, however: she is an earthweaver with dangerously uncontrollable powers. She has no money and no prospects. Her only solace comes from her activities with the Daughters of Izdihar, a radical women's rights group at the forefront of a movement with a simple goal: to attain recognition for women to have a say in their own lives. They live very different lives and come from very different means, yet Nehal and Giorgina have more in common than they think. The cause—and Nico—brings them into each other's orbit, drawn in by the group's enigmatic leader, Malak Mamdouh, and the urge to do what is right.
The Deluge by Stephen Markley
In the first decades of the 21st century, the world is convulsing, its governments mired in gridlock while a patient but unrelenting ecological crisis looms. America is in upheaval, battered by violent weather and extreme politics. In California in 2013, Tony Pietrus, a scientist studying deposits of undersea methane, receives a death threat. His fate will become bound to a stunning cast of characters—a broken drug addict, a star advertising strategist, a neurodivergent mathematician, a cunning eco-terrorist, an actor turned religious zealot, and a brazen young activist named Kate Morris, who, in the mountains of Wyoming, begins a project that will alter the course of the decades to come.
From the Gulf Coast to Los Angeles, the Midwest to Washington, DC, their intertwined odysseys unfold against a stark backdrop of accelerating chaos as they summon courage, galvanize a nation, fall to their own fear, and find wild hope in the face of staggering odds.

But as the flames of revolution ignite, Lilith and her newborn daughter, Nadine, find themselves at a terrifying crossroads.
Berlin, 1988: As a scientist in Berlin, Nadine is dedicated to ensuring the dignity of the remains of all those who were murdered by the Nazis. Yet she has spent her entire lifetime avoiding the truth about her own family's history.

The Nightmare Man by J.H. Markert
Blackwood mansion looms, surrounded by nightmare pines, atop the hill over the small town of Crooked Tree. Ben Bookman, bestselling novelist and heir to the Blackwood estate, spent a weekend at the ancestral home to finish writing his latest horror novel, The Scarecrow. Now, on the eve of the book's release, the terrible story within begins to unfold in real life.
Detective Mills arrives at the scene of a gruesome murder: a family butchered and bundled inside cocoons stitched from corn husks, and hung from the rafters of a barn, eerily mirroring the opening of Bookman's latest novel. When another family is killed in a similar manner, Mills, along with his daughter, rookie detective Samantha Blue, is determined to find the link to the book—and the killer—before the story reaches its chilling climax.
As the series of "Scarecrow crimes" continues to mirror the book, Ben quickly becomes the prime suspect. He can't remember much from the night he finished writing the novel, but he knows he wrote it in The Atrium, his grandfather's forbidden room full of numbered books. Thousands of books. Books without words.

Clare is immediately drawn into their libertine world of sophisticated dinner parties and summers in France. The new life she always envisioned for herself has seemingly begun.
Then Tabitha reveals a little project she's been working on, one she needs Clare's help with. Even though it goes against everything Clare has tried to repent for. Even though their intimacy begins to darken into codependence. But as Clare starts to realize just what her friends are capable of, it's already too late. Because they've taken the plunge. They're so close to attaining everything they want. And there's no going back.

INTRODUCTION: Lung cancer invading the spine historically has been considered unresectable. Nevertheless, considerable surgical progress has been made since the 1990s potentially allowing for curative resection. Here, we describe our surgical experience and long-term results. METHODS: All patients who underwent en bloc resection of non-small-cell lung cancer invading the pulmonary sulcus and spine between 1991 and 2012 were retrospectively reviewed. RESULTS: Forty-eight patients were included. Induction therapy consisted mostly of two cycles of cisplatin-etoposide and 45 Gy of concurrent radiation. All tumors were resected en bloc, including the lung, spine, and chest wall. Total vertebrectomy, hemivertebrectomy, and partial vertebrectomy were required in 10 patients (21%), 31 patients (64%), and seven patients (15%), respectively. Complete resection was achieved in 42 patients (88%). Postoperatively, 18 patients (38%) stayed in the intensive care unit for a median of 15 (1-140) days. Thirty-day and in-hospital mortality was 6%. Pathologic response to induction treatment was complete (n = 18) or near complete (n = 6) in 24 patients (50%). After a median follow-up of 26 (0-151) months, 24 patients are alive without recurrence. Overall 5-year survival was 61%. Response to induction therapy (complete/near complete versus other, p = 0.012), resection margin (R0 versus R1/R2, p = 0.009), and length of intensive care unit stay (p = 0.003) were significant prognostic factors in univariate analysis. Response to induction was maintained as prognostic factor in multivariable analysis (p = 0.048). CONCLUSIONS: En bloc resection of the lung, chest wall, and spine for non-small-cell lung cancer invading the pulmonary sulcus and spine is feasible in experienced centers with excellent long-term outcome after careful patient selection. Response to induction was an independent significant prognostic factor.

Ontario's Action Plan for Health Care proposes reforms that will result in significant changes to the way in which health care services will be organized, delivered and funded. Included in the Action plan is the Health System Funding Reform (HSFR) initiative.
The key component of HSFR is the funding models that compensate health care organizations based on patient volume and needs, the services delivered and the evidence-based quality of those services.
Introduced by the Ministry in April 2012, health system funding reform (HSFR) is a move towards more "patient-based funding". HSFR started with a move away from hospital global budgets by expanding the use of the Health-Based Allocation Model (HBAM) and introducing Quality-Based Procedures (QBPs).
Health system funding reform (HSFR) is applied in the community setting through the Health-Based Allocation Model (HBAM) and community Quality-Based Procedures (QBPs).
Community-based specialty clinics are a new initiative introduced by the Ministry to shift select OHIP-insured, low-risk procedures currently provided in acute hospitals to the community, with the intention to improve patient access to high quality care at better value.
To facilitate the understanding of HSFR, the Ministry delivered a series of regional sessions on the alignment of funding and quality in the planning, implementation and evaluation of HSFR. Information localized to specific LHINs can be accessed below.
Get answers questions such as "What is Health System Funding Reform?" and "How will clinical documentation change?" and more.

Q: How to sort two-dimensional array of ranges in swift? I have two-dimensional array of ranges (Range<String.Index>)
var arrayToSort = [
                   [14..<20, 10..<29, 13..<21],
                   [7..<11, 1..<5, 4..<8],
                   [30..<50, 40..<54, 32..<60]
                  ]

and I need sort it in ascending order of start.Index of the first ranges from each element of the two-dimensional array, to have the array like this
 var sortedArray = [
                   [7..<11, 1..<5, 4..<8],
                   [14..<20, 10..<29, 13..<21],
                   [30..<50, 40..<54, 32..<60]
                  ]

A: To sort according to the start index of the first range in each array
element, call sort() with a closure that compares the start index
of the first range of its two parameters:
let sortedArray = arrayToSort.sort {
    $0.first?.startIndex < $1.first?.startIndex
}

The optional chaining with ? takes care of the case that a nested
array is empty. In that case $n.first?.startIndex evaluates to nil
(and the corresponding element is sorted before all others).
Full self-contained example:
let s = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ"
let arrayToSort = [
    [ s.rangeOfString("EFG")!, s.rangeOfString("MNO")!],
    [ s.rangeOfString("DEFGH")!, s.rangeOfString("XYZ")!],
    [ ]
]
print(arrayToSort)
// [[Range(4..<7), Range(12..<15)], [Range(3..<8), Range(23..<26)], []]

let sortedArray = arrayToSort.sort {
    $0.first?.startIndex < $1.first?.startIndex
}
print(sortedArray)
// [[], [Range(3..<8), Range(23..<26)], [Range(4..<7), Range(12..<15)]]

Update for Swift 4 and later:
let s = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ"
let arrayToSort = [
    [ s.range(of: "EFG")!, s.range(of: "MNO")!],
    [ s.range(of: "DEFGH")!, s.range(of: "XYZ")!],
    [ ]
]

let sortedArray = arrayToSort.sorted(by: {
    $0.first?.lowerBound ?? s.startIndex < $1.first?.lowerBound ?? s.startIndex
})

A: For solving of the issue use functional programing that is introduced in swift :
   var arrayToSort = [
        ["14..<20", "10..<29", "13..<21"],
        ["7..<11", "1..<5", "4..<8"],
        ["30..<50", "40..<54", "32..<60"]
    ]

let sortedArray = arrayToSort.sort { (NSMaxRange(NSRangeFromString($0[0]))) < (NSMaxRange(NSRangeFromString($1[0]))) }

Fixing with location of the NSRange
let sortedArray = arrayToSort.sort { ((NSRangeFromString($0[0]).location)) < ((NSRangeFromString($1[0]).location)) }

take a long piece of scrap fabric (it can be the same pattern or different) and fold one side of ita little longer than half then fold the other side down. The folded edges should over lap a little bit.
you are going to sew the strap down the middle were the pieces overlap.
the you are going to take the strap and fold it in half. put the two edges that are together in the hole from were you stuffed the hot pad. sew and then you have a new hot pad that you can use around your kitchen or it makes a great gift!
thanks for the advice! I will definetly do that!
Nice! You should put the picture of the finished hot pad in the intro so that it will appear in the thumbnail.

Very rare Dutch modernist floor lamp designed by Louis Christiaan Kalff for Philips in 1957. This impressive floor lamp is unique in its kind, it has a very long and high grey cricket foot ending in a very nice and wide light grey shade with red socket holder and a plastic diffuser to cover the direct light. It's the first time I get to see this lamp and it's in very nice original vintage condition. The lamp is in working order and gives nice diffused light when lit. The lamp is quite large in size which is pretty about it. Would be an amazing addition to any modernist design interior.

I have very sensitive bullshit detectors, when I come across manure-spreading on that sort of level, they need to be recalibrated.
Just read the exec producer's comments. There's some epic cognitive dissonance going on and no matter how you slice it, his claims are without merit.
Gregory invented the 7-string electric guitar - false, Gretsch and Epiphone got there first.
Gregory invented the 7-string solid body electric guitar - false, Alembic got there first.
Gregory invented the 7-string solid-body guitar with a high A - false, Kirk Sand got there first. Remember by Gregory/Stillion's own admission that all Gregory is laying claim to is this specific variant, which is somehow intrinsically a different instrument from the low B type.
Remember by this stage we are getting very, very far removed from the original grandiose statement.
Ask any musician to define what an X string guitar is, and I predict with almost absolute certainty they will respond, "A guitar with X strings." Whether tuned E to A or B to E is a complete irrelevency.
Just to hammer things home:
This is a guitar:
So is this:
The argument that tuning makes it a completely different instrument is as watertight as the Titanic.

Sweet. In that case, based on the extent of my qualifications, I invented modern economics and wrote The Wealth of Nations.
I suspect Wikipedia won't have quite as hard a time disproving that claim, but I'm not claiming to have invented the whole field! I'm talking about my 2,000 word essay; "Modern Economics and the Tonghak Rebellion." You're just taking things out of context if you think I claimed to have written Adam Smith's book: I just wrote the book's title. In a footnote. Where I cited it. I still totally invented (okay, okay, contributed to) that tiny corner of economics, and totally wrote a few thousand words on it. Even if the only people to read it were my tutor and a couple of friends. But it still counts! Put me on wikipedia!
Thinking like that broke my brain. I hope you're happy.

Is Martin Stillion of emando the same guy who wrote voxhumana? The emando Stillion also posts on the Mandolin Cafe as mrmando.
Since emando.com is devoted to electric mandolin, and I doubt that the Douchebag Maestro Alex Gregory would be able to make any claims of originaility for developing a five-course electric instrument in fifths without being challenged there. Tiny Moore of the Texas Playboys developed the five-string electric years before Gregory started his nonsense.
I can't imagine that particular Martin Stilion rushing to defend the Douchebag Maestro Alex Gregory or his claims of originality (including the Pentasystem).
Is it possible that someone is looking at the emando website and grabbing Stillion's name in order to create some sort of legitimacy? If I were in your position, I'd probably drop the Wikipedia "Stillion" an email asking if he is the same person, as well as contacting the Martin Stillion at info@emando. I can see how emando would re-release "Jokes" as an interesting and relevant CD relating to electric mandolin, but I doubt they'd be committed to preserving Gregory's claims.
Incidentally, I was just doing some quick lookups, and found that searching on "wikipedia pentasystem" found this particular thread, as well as a bunch of others, decrying the Douchebag Maestro Alexander Gregory and his claims. A lot of people are linking to this particular thread.
Apparently the Douchbag Maestro Alexander Gregory has gained a lot of notice over the years for his claims regarding the seven-string gutiar and the Pentasystem, but the work of voxhumana and his/her collegues over at Wikipedia in sorting those claims, and exposing the lies behind quite a few of them, is possibly the first time all of this was brought to light at one time and in one location.
I think the crux of the matter rests on semantics, if we use the legal reasonable person test. Then a reasonable person reading the statement below would naturally infer, that Gregory single-handedly invented the entire family of solid-body 7-string electric guitars:
[FONT=Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif] "The absolute truth remains that Maestro Alex Gregory is the true sole inventor of the 7 String Electric Guitar, or Rock N Roll 7 String Guitar"
[/FONT]The statement above makes no caveat of tuning differences, it is a blanket all encompassing statement. By discovery of prior builders (listed in this thread in detail) who have a variety of features listed, the above statement has been proven to be at best inaccurate and at worst fraudulent.
A more accurate statement would be:
[FONT=Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif]"The absolute truth remains that Maestro Alex Gregory is the true sole inventor of a 2 octave 7 String Electric Guitar, tuned E to A with fulcrum tremolo system and 3 single-coil pickups; a natural evolution of the classic Fender Stratocaster design."
However that does not sound as punchy or attention grabbing now does it? By the way, if having a Patent automatically means you can lay claim to inventing something, then I'd expect some almighty punch-ups between DiMarzio, Seymour Duncan, EMG et al.
By the way, if having a Patent automatically means you can lay claim to inventing something, then I'd expect some almighty punch-ups between DiMarzio, Seymour Duncan, EMG et al.
For the record, I am the TRUE SOLE INVENTOR of the Gibson L6S with Seymour Duncan hot rails bridge pickup, recycled telecaster neck pickup, a Kahler tremelo, and duct tape holding the back cover plate on. Thank you - please form an orderly line for autographs.
To me an "invention" has to have something unique or unexpected about it. Even Ned Steinberger regarded himself as a "designer" or an "innovator", not an "inventor". (Although IMO the 'trans-trem' rightly qualifies as an invention, as to my knowledge nothing like it had ever existed before)
The Chapman Stick also fits that bill for me.

. Even Ned Steinberger regarded himself as a "designer" or an "innovator", not an "inventor". (Although IMO the 'trans-trem' rightly qualifies as an invention, as to my knowledge nothing like it had ever existed before)
Well, Ned Steinberger doesn't have to prove he's a genius, as that fact is as readily apparent as anything
But it's not the first 7-string, and barely anyone has ever heard of the guy, so why is it £9,499?
What's even more amazing is that the seller has two available!
Well, it's Music Ground isn't it?
They probably stole them off Gregory himself.
EDIT: Although it is quite possible that they had them knocked up in China.
Being that the Douchebag Maestro Alex Gregory tried to sell the masters and all rights associated with "Jokes" about 5 years ago for $15k total, it would seem possible that DMAG was the source of the instruments.
I like that the auction/sale, according to the auction description, is for 2 of the 3 total ever built. If they're really great, I wonder why the owner is getting (or got) rid of them. I tend to keep the instruments which are working for me. If the Fenders were truly ahead of their time, and surpassed the construction of the Ibanez line which preceded the patenting of this line... why sell the Fenders?
In my imaginings, I can see some fairly large chickens coming home to roost, embodying the falsehoods which have been advanced in place of the true history of the seven-string gutiar. If the truth becomes more and more known, and the smokescreen dissipates, then these instruments will have very little value other than as a novelty. I guess the decision was made to sell while the selling was still good.
The history video relied upon in the auction is, of course, the one the DMAG himself posted on Youtube. That means that it is filled with the same falsehoods as Gregory's site.
One more thing: Why worry about Chinese guitars when this thread contains a different source? Yes, I've been holding this link back, but now it's time to unveil the result of two douchebags passing in the night...
Alex Gregory Guitars
That's right. One can't use the word "douchebag" without an eventual appearance by... Ed Roman himself.
It's not worth the investment of my time, but I wonder what would happen if someone contacted the seller (Musicgoround, which is an entity outside of Gregory) through eBay, presented what has developed so far regarding all the claims in that video being given as the history of seven-string guitar, and let the seller know that the claims being given in the link in their item description were untrue....
He's responsible for this.
I want him shot. Now.

You can find two important elements in the water. Both are oxygen and hydrogen. The formula is called H2O. Read Hydrogen facts here.
When you talk about the liquid state, you can use the word water. Ice is used to refer the water in its solid form. The steam or water vapour is used to call the water in its gas form.
Water is very important to life of human being. Without water we cannot live. Not only human, but also plants and animals need to drink water to stay survive.
The water occupies more space on earth than the dry land. The earth surface is occupied at least by 70 percent of water.
There are three largest oceans in the world. Can you mention them for me? The first one is Pacific Ocean. Then it is followed by Atlantic Ocean and Indian Ocean.
The Mariana Trench is considered as the deepest know point in the world ocean. It is located in the Pacific Ocean.
Ocean tide is one of the interesting phenomena regarding liquid. It occurs because of the gravitational pull of moon and sun which make the ocean water acts.
The seawater liquid is different with freshwater that you drink at home. The seawater is seen on the ocean or sea. It contains 35 gram of dissolved salt on every kilogram of seawater.
Nile River is considered as the longest river in the world. The length is 6650 km.
Amazon River is the second longest river in the world. The length of this river is 4000 miles or 6400 km.
Missouri River is the longest river in US. The length is 3,770 km or 2,340 miles. Are you interested with facts about liquid?
