German Renewables Award for offshore wind project Arkona
Newly developed corrosion protection process is innovation of the year
Environmental protection and cost reduction for renewable energy promoted

The offshore wind project Arkona in the German Baltic Sea received the German Renewables Award in Hamburg. E.ON and Statoil's joint project got the Innovation of the Year award for a newly developed process that protects the steel foundations of offshore wind turbines from corrosion. "The procedure developed by E.ON reduces the environmental impact and at the same time lowers the costs for the construction of offshore wind farms," explained the independent jury from science and industry. The German Renewables Award is presented by the Clusteragentur Erneuerbare Energien, based in Hamburg.
During the 25-year operating life of an offshore wind farm, the metal-dissolving corrosion process is significantly reduced by the new process and emissions to the sea are reduced by several hundred tons. This progress is achieved by means of the thermal-spray aluminum process, whereby the mono steels, which are up to 81 meters long and weigh 1200 tons, are first coated with aluminum and then additionally protected with a synthetic resin layer. Arkona is the first project to install all monopiles of an offshore wind farm using environmentally friendly corrosion protection technology. This set new standards for the construction and operation of offshore wind power plants.
The award was submitted to E.ON project director Holger Matthiesen. "We have taken the risk of integrating innovation into our ongoing project process. We are pleased to have successfully implemented this jointly developed innovation in the Arkona offshore wind farm for the first time worldwide. This will further reduce costs for the offshore wind sector and further minimize the environmental impact," said Holger Matthiesen at the award ceremony.
E.ON has developed the thermal spray aluminum process together with Rambøll, an engineering company. The companies EEW Special Pipe Constructions and Krebs then implemented the process industrially at their sites in Rostock. For this purpose, existing coating halls were expanded and the world's first fully automated coating line was developed.
In the coating process, a robot sprays molten aluminum onto the foundation using two arc burners. The process works under the highest occupational safety and environmental protection standards and is largely dust-free. The surface is then sealed with synthetic resin. The thermal spray aluminum process has so far been used primarily as corrosion protection for smaller steel components under water or for larger components above water, such as offshore substations. For the foundations of the Arkona turbines, the process is being used for the first time on an industrial scale. Through automation, the alternative coating can lead to significant cost savings compared to conventional corrosion protection.
The Arkona project is located 35 kilometers northeast of the island of Rügen. The wind farm will have a capacity of 385 megawatts (MW) and will be able to supply up to 400,000 households with renewable energy from 2019 onwards. Compared to conventionally generated electricity, Arkona saves up to 1.2 million tons of CO2 per year. It will install 60 six-megawatt class turbines from Siemens. The plants are based on monopile foundations at water depths of 23 to 37 meters. Arkona is a joint venture between E.ON and the Norwegian energy company Statoil.

The recent buzz is the BEEP SONG from STR and Anirudh. This song was found circulating in WhatsApp and found to be leaked.
This song is a soup song with censored words and literally damaging Women.
The song began to spread virally via Whatsapp and other Social Services!
Many STR fans have opposed this song as it damages women feelings.
Soup songs become instant hit because of the craze towards them.
Anirudh's first soup song " Why this Kolaveri Di " was a massive hit and now this song is hit among the youngsters.
While Social Activists and Women Organizations oppose the Song, STR's this one gets good support from the Youth in Social Media.
STR's reply regarding the issue was that the song was meant to be between friends only and one of his friends leaked it via WhatsApp and that got viral due to repeated posting to multiple WhatsApp Groups.
Anirudh refused that he was one of the singers and he composed the music of the song on Twitter from Canada.
Since the Song was not officially released, No one has the right to question him. So he may win the case.
People were staying quiet while Hara Hara Mahadevki Audio got viral and this song is nothing compared to vulgarity of those Audios.


The very mention of the name Edward Snowden creates a seismic cleavage that cuts through the American political landscape dividing those who think he's the greatest hero since Nathan Hale from those who consider him the most villainous traitor since Benedict Arnold. But in real life, in terms of the day-to-day reality in which we all actually live, what is this hero/villain's life really like now? Other than his releasing a statement every now and then, we don't hear much about what the leaker/whistleblower is doing. According to the reports, for most of the time that this story has been playing out in the news, Snowden has been living in the Moscow airport.
When TravelPulse contacted tour operators about these questions, the result was a resounding silence. No business person wants to risk dropping into that political cleavage and alienating clients on either side of the line. But sidestepping the political issues here, this incident raises other questions. What is it really like to live in the Moscow airport?
Moscow's Sheremetyevo International Airport is the country's largest, moving 12 to 35 million passengers a year to 200 destinations. As its website says, "The passengers can do shopping in numerous duty free shops there, enjoying high-quality service and a wide range of goods, including luxury products." But not Edward Snowden. He is trapped in a a transit area, a diplomatic limbo in the airport.
Reports that Russian authorities had granted Snowden a pass to leave the airport turned out to be false, but his Russian lawyer did bring him a shopping bag full of books by Russian authors such as "Crime and Punishment" by Dostoevsky and other works by Chekhov and the historian Karamzin.
Anyone who has missed a flight, or maybe even had to spend a night in an airport has some idea of the strange way such an experience can distort the human mind. Some might even speculate that in being stuck in the Moscow airport interminably, Snowden is suffering a fate worse than if he returned to the states to face prosecution. He may even be reconsidering. After all, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder wrote a letter to Moscow authorities promising that the U.S. will not torture or kill Snowden if the Russians send him back to the states.


So, the news that Apple is planning to bring iTunes and AirPlay support to Samsung TVs broke today and it made a lot of fans of both companies happy. The reasons for why Apple would do this are, of course, for Apple to know, but we did speculate on them a bit in this article, for those interested.
In any case, it's easy to assume that Apple TV hasn't been doing great, and Apple felt like it had to look for alternatives.
But is the Apple TV pressured by other set-top boxes, like Android TV, Amazon Fire TV, and Chromecast dongles, or is the set-top box actually redundant in the age of smart TVs and gaming consoles that can run Netflix and YouTube?
In other words — do you have any type of set-top box at home?
Yep and I love it! Yes, but I rarely use it, if ever. Nah.
Yes, but I rarely use it, if ever.
I counted my Miracast since you considered Chromecast a set top box. Smart TVs are nice, but the included features aren't enough for me to replace my old TVs.
In my opinion, they are a better deal than smart TVs. They are updated for years, while smart TV support can fall off. I got a Roku 2 years ago and I'm amazed by how it's just been quietly updating all of this time to become better.
I have a Sharp TV with Roku built in and love it. In the bedroom I have a Fire TV stick that works well, would rather a Roku but don't watch much TV in bed.
Yup have 3 of them around the house. I have one smartTV but don't use the smart part, use a set-top box instead.
No, Sky+ with a smart TV & an Android phone with chromecast, don't need anything else.
Yes and no. I have a Sony 900e running on android for the living room, and a Samsung smart tv for the bedroom with Xiaomi Mi Box 3 hooked into it.
Nvidia shield had it 4yrs, couldnt live without it.
3 Years for me and cannot travel without it. Never imagined I will pack a smart tv box while going for long travel.
I rarely use mine because I've just been streaming less, but I got Rokus for a couple cousins and they use them all the time. Roku should've been on the example list, not Chromecast.
Three Chinese tv boxes (oh the horror!). Loaded with every decent pirate app available plus Directv, Xfinity, BBC iPlayer, All4, ITV, Channel 5, NBC Sports, HBO etc etc. I have just about every UK and US channel including Sky. Haven't used cable tv for 3 years. Smart tv's are a waste of time and money when a $60-100 3-4GB ram box is more powerful and does a much better job. And a good VPN is a must of course.
I bought a Roku stick for the Spectrum TV app instead of paying extra for another set-top box !
Raspberry pI3b+ beta build of OSMC (kodi fork), Have my Emby server connected to it, Netflix and other addons we leave it at that. Except for the gf updating the Netflix addon which screwed that up very happy with that setup. Good thing I took a system image so it should be a quick fix.
A better question would have been who uses the smart TV built in functionality. Most on this type of site are highly likely to have some streaming box option. But I'd be more curious as to who actually uses built in functionality on their smart TV. I have PS4 Pro, Chromecasts and android box and three TVs with smart apps built in and never use the smart tv apps.
I use the built-in apps of the TV, and it's a pain in the back, I'm highly considering buying a set-top box but don't want to spend over $170 for Apple's. I might get the Nvidia Shield, I've read very good reviews about that device.
My 2018 LG smart tv supports almost every major streaming service available in the UK (except Apple Tv) and i use it all the time. ditched the set top boxes last year, too much faffing about and it's nice to have everything working perfectly on one device.
Wdtv. Crap app selection but can play local files from external drives. Also chromecast. Will get something with kodi download next time probably.
I use standard Chromecast Ultra. It's fine, it works, nothing amazing. Often I was looking at buying nVidia Shield TV, to replace Chromecast with something much more capable.
Since 2013 I have been using android smart TVs from LG!
I feel like they have potential but I'm not impressed with the current offerings on the market.

TV makers cause trouble for Auntie's iPlayer loophole
There has been a fair amount of coverage in the news recently about the closing of what's been called the 'iPlayer loophole.'
This was a gap in the rules for the TV licence that said that you only needed to pay for one if you received live television, including over the internet. So, if you watch via cable, satellite, or an aerial, you need a licence. And, if you watch in real time, via the internet, you need a licence too.
The loophole? If you use the non-live functionality of iPlayer, you didn't need a licence. So, you could just watch everything a little bit later, and you wouldn't need to pay the annual fee. Some estimates of the cost of this put the annual figure as high as £150 million, which is obviously a good chunk of a budget that's already being squeezed by a hostile government.
The Telegraph has done a charmingly wacky story about how updated TV detector vans will work out who's using iPlayer, which is more amusingly debunked over at The Register.
The real solution to enforcement is, more than likely, going to be simply sending a letter to every house that doesn't have a TV licence.
Why TV makers make this hard
Why do I think this has anything to do with TV makers? Because they're a big block to one of the most obvious solutions – adding a simple option in iPlayer that lets you enter your TV licence number to authorise a device.
That would, on the face of it, be a great way to ensure that iPlayer is only accessible to those who have paid for it. It might also open up the possibility of access to some material for people from abroad (though the tangled mess of rights will also interfere with that).
And, it's also an option that the BBC would be very reluctant to consider, because most TV makers render it pretty much impossible.
Over the years, we've seen various generations of smart TV. We've seen sets that were sold on the basis that they had YouTube or other services built in carelessly obsoleted as services have upgraded, and the TV makers have shrugged and said "No, we won't be updating the firmware for that model."
Most TVs are 'smart' these days. Many of them have iPlayer, and for a lot of people who aren't that tech savvy, it's a great way to access the service, without hooking up a computer. There are also DVD players and set top boxes too.
The sad reality is that, for most of the makers of these, adding things like iPlayer was just a box to tick for the UK version of a particular model, and they really don't care if it still works. With many smart sets, you'll be lucky if you ever get an update, frankly.
So, although it might seem like adding some sort of login or licence fee entry to iPlayer is the simplest and easiest way to solve the problem, it won't happen. Because the iPlayer clients on lots of TVs would stop working and – regardless of the blame being with makers who can't be bothered to update software – the perception of many ordinary users would be "The BBC broke my TV."
Side note
It's also worth noting, prompted by some comments from my esteemed fellow writer Chris Bidmead, that there is a precedent set in closing this loophole that may yet come back to haunt the BBC.
Though the corporation is the sole recipient of funding from the licence fee amongst the major UK broadcasters, the legal position is that a licence is required to operate a television receiver. In other words, you're paying for the right to use the equipment, regardless of what you watch.
So, in the past, you have been able to argue that you only watch pre-recorded videos on a set that's not tuned in, and that's fine. But if you say "I only watch ITV" you still need a licence, because you're receiving television broadcasts. Similarly, if you only watched satellite TV, you'd need the licence, regardless of channels watched.
In closing the iPlayer loophole, the government has for the first time explicitly linked the licence fee to BBC services. If you don't use iPlayer, you can still watch ITV, Channel 4, and Channel 5 via their catch up services, over the internet, without having to have a licence.
That may seem fair on the face of it. However, the precedent set may yet ultimately lead to a situation akin to a subscription BBC, where no fees need be paid to watch other broadcasters at all.
After all, if after 2030 or so, terrestrial transmitters are turned off, and most people consume TV via the internet, the changes that come in from September this year will mean that, effectively, a licence will only be needed for BBC programmes.
Whether you want that to happen or not is a legitimate subject for debate. As things stand, we haven't had that debate – even though the first step has been taken down the road.

One Reply to "TV makers cause trouble for Auntie's iPlayer loophole"
Well if the BBC were suitably technical and business savvy then they could deal with this. Just as "Freeview" has certain technical standards for the equipment to carry the Freeview mark, the BBC could do the same with iPlayer. Start enforcing trademark protections and no TV could claim to support iPlayer without meeting the required standards.
Such standards could include a legally binding commitment to firmware upgrades for a set period of time !
No,m I'm not holding my breath. I expect it to be handled no better than the digital switchover when analogue only sets were still on sale in places they no longer worked !
I do feel it's a pity the project to create a unified player across all channels failed – it would have been much easier for the end users.

LINCOLN, Neb. The Nebraska football team practiced for a little over two hours on Wednesday morning in full pads inside the Hawks Championship Center.
"I would be flattered if there were comparisons," Frost said. "I think he was a heck of an athlete, and he's a heck of a coach. I'll let other people draw parallels, I'm just excited to have him. We're going to be on a similar track trying to get these two programs to where they belong, and I can't wait to watch him work."
"We've made improvements everywhere, and I think probably the most notable improvements have been on defense," he said. "Just watching the guys run around and make plays, that's year two stuff. Instead of wondering if they're doing the right thing and being hesitant, they know what they're doing and they're going full speed and running to the football.
"That being said, we had a competition day today and the offense won. So it was great to see a response from the offensive side of the ball because defense has been getting the better of it all spring."
"I haven't seen it this year," Frost said. "We've had a couple little lulls. Maybe the defense didn't come out with quite the same intensity today as they did earlier on in spring, but they found it. Last year the drop off happened quick...we just continue to be on the rise now. I think today was overall the best practice I've been a part of at Nebraska."
Chinander was asked if he agreed with Frost's statement of Wednesday's practice being the best to date, and Chinander was focused on the defense losing the competition to the offense.
"No, we lost the competition, period," Chinander said. "We came out and got punched in the mouth a little bit, which was awesome for us. I don't think they were ready to play. I didn't like their attitude, and I didn't like how it was the first day we had a breakdown in communication, but that's good for us and we need to get that fixed. I'm taking nothing away from the offense, they went out and executed today. But being a defensive guy, any time we walk out on the field, it [isn't] about them, it's about us."
"Those guys are playing at a high level right now," Chinander said. "I think they're bigger, stronger and faster due to Coach [Zach] Duval in the weight room. The technique has gotten better, their pass rush has gotten better, and I think overall that whole group has been elevated a little bit right now."
"It got better as practice went on," Chinander said. "We got down early and pulled that score back within one, so it got better. But I don't want to do that anymore. I don't want to have to call them up and be the one to do it, I want them to do it. Bad teams have no leaders. Good teams are led by the coaches and great teams are led by the players. If you want to be a great defense, you've got to be ready to go as soon as you walk across that line and strap it up."
The Huskers will continue their spring season with a morning practice on Friday. The annual Red-White Spring Game will be played on Saturday, April 13 at Memorial Stadium with kickoff set for 1 p.m. The game will be televised on the Big Ten Network with the Husker Sports Network providing live radio coverage.


How did you get that to happen? Ask or he just do it out of the goodness of his heart? I bought like $160 of joes there last month and didn't get a dime off lol.
I'll need some time to organize what i'm going to sell, but will let you know in about a week.
Never mind about the PM, I got the SAW Vipers 3-pack already. Thanks.
Sent you a pm not sure if you got it. I have mauler side panels or a viper for a shadow guard.
Hey TJF, got your package today. Thanks man! I'll be asking Shakka sometime this week who's next so that after I past my custom fodder in the box I can send it to the one next in line.
Thanks for the tracking number.
LOL. Thanks man. I don't suppose by any chance you saw a POC Hiss Driver(blue/black one from the Hiss Scout) body in the box, did you? It would save me the trouble of having to buy the entire figure...lol.

Lucia is a 2013 Indian Kannada-language psychological thriller drama film written, co-edited and directed by Pawan Kumar. It stars Sathish Ninasam and Sruthi Hariharan in lead roles.

The film's plot is about Nikki, an usher in theatre who has insomnia. After consuming a special pill, he gets entangled in a different kind of dream. Lucia was the first Kannada film to be crowdfunded by the people. The film's soundtrack was composed by Poornachandra Tejaswi and cinematography was handled by Siddhartha Nuni.

Lucia premiered at the London Indian Film Festival on 20 July 2013. It won the Best Film Audience Choice award at the festival. It was also among the films shortlisted by the FFI to become India's submission for Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film for the year 2013.

The film was also remade in Tamil as Enakkul Oruvan in 2015. The movie was credited for inspiring a new wave in the Kannada film industry.

Plot

There are two main roles, one that is played out in the dream, and the other one, in reality, called respectively Nikhil and Nikki. The plot starts with the protagonist being in a state of coma and continuing only on life support. The film, from the beginning, tells two stories of the same person, one in colour and the other in black and white.

Sanjay, a detective from the Mumbai police Crime Branch starts investigating the incident that caused the protagonist's (Sathish Ninasam) current state. While Sanjay is going through the protagonist's belongings he stumbles upon some scribbled notes and a mysterious pill. Meanwhile, the police capture two suspects and interrogate them.

The story starts with Nikki in a village near Mandya, working as an usher/"torch-shiner" in a Bengaluru movie theatre owned by Shankranna (Achyuth Kumar). Nikki has insomnia and yearns for a companion. On one of his sleepless nights, Nikki is contacted by a drug dealer who gives him Lucia pills as a solution to his sleeping problems. This drug is said to have the capacity to help one dream the life they want but has the side-effect that upon discontinuation the same dreams turn into nightmares.

With the help of the Lucia pills, Nikki starts seeing himself as being a successful actor called Nikhil surrounded by people he knows in the real world. Film actor Nikhil's life is depicted in black-and-white. Shankranna, the owner of the theater where Nikki works, had starred in a film in his youth funded by the leader of some goons who now want Shankranna to sign off his theatre for his debt. More events from the dream are followed by similar events in reality as Nikki falls in love with Shwetha (Sruthi Hariharan) who is a model in the dream and a waitress in reality.

In the dream, Nikhil and Shwetha hit it off easily at the beginning but later friction arises when Nikhil expresses his discontent about Shwetha working in the film industry. Meanwhile, in reality, Nikki struggles to win Shwetha's heart, who rejects him first due to his low salary but later falls for his humble character. Shwetha's attempts to get Nikki educated and lead him to find a better paying job turns out to be futile and also result in the death of Shankranna in the hands of goons. Frustrated, Nikki chooses to leave Shwetha and continue to work in the theatre, despite the threats. Nikki redecorates the theatre and releases Shankranna's film to the audience. He later reconciles with Shwetha, who agrees to marry him.

In the dream, Shankranna is kidnapped, and Nikhil rescues him with the help of the police. In the process, all of the goons are either arrested or killed except for the contract killer. Nikhil feels Shankranna is not safe with him and decides to fire him. Nikhil breaks up with Shwetha and sends off all his servants so as to be alone. Later, a visibly disturbed Nikhil finds himself in a trashed room. Nikhil gets hold of a torch and through its light sees his life as a "torch-shiner" projected on the walls of the room.

Shwetha is now distraught with being in the limelight and understands what Nikhil had tried to tell her. Nikhil, the actor, meets Shwetha and tells her that he cannot decide if the present moment is a dream or reality but he is ultimately happy. Asking Shwetha to close her eyes, Nikhil jumps off the roof to the confusion of everyone present, including the contract killer waiting to kill him.

At present, Sanjay with the help of the suspects performs a sting operation on the drug dealer and learns more about the Lucia pills. Meanwhile, Shwetha is caught in an attempt to kill Nikhil by pulling him off life support. During her interrogation, the whole investigating team along with Shwetha watches a re-run of an interview of the film star Nikhil. In the interview, Nikhil expresses his dissatisfaction of the stardom and reveals that he is actually color blind from an accident in his childhood. He tells the interviewer that he dreams of being a normal person and in fact, in one of his dreams he is a "torch-shiner" who gets no attention from people and is happily in love with the dream of his life. It also revealed that Nikhil and Nikki both had insomnia and both consumed the Lucia pill.

Sanjay is now convinced that Nikhil is living in his own version of reality and chose to live in that dream rather than in the real world by attempting suicide. Sanjay gets Shwetha to act and behave like she was in Nikhil's dream, and acts himself as if he was a contract killer and shoots the comatose Nikhil in the head with an empty gun. Simultaneously, Nikhil, aware and alive in his dream world finds everything disappearing around him and is killed by a shot to the head. Nikhi wakes up from his coma to see the astonished doctors and Shwetha's relieved face. Thus, revealing that the character Nikki was an illusion whereas Nikhil was reality.

At the end, we can see Nikhil, Swetha and Shankaranna (who was dead in Nikhil's dream) enjoying pizza (Swetha worked as pizza waitress in Nikhil's dream) while they operate the projector of an old theater. Thus revealing that it was film star Nikhil's dream to be a commoner like Nikki, and he achieved it through Lucid dreams.

Production
In December 2011 Pawan Kumar announced on the Web that his next project, after the success of his directorial debut film Lifeu Ishtene, was going to be Lucia. For the next two months, he met quite a few producers and top actors and found it difficult to fund his film. That led Pawan Kumar to write a post titled Making Enemies on his blog. Three days after it was published, the response was so overwhelming that he decided to pitch the idea of inviting people to produce the film and Pawan Kumar initiated Project Lucia. Aditya Vikram Thoomati was crucial in making the bandwagon work. Fellow writer to Pawan , a newbie to Kannada cinema , Sai Prasad did his writing expertise through it. Lucia is notable for its use of crowdfunding. It was funded by 110 investors who contributed to the project through a Facebook page and a blog run by director-actor Pawan Kumar. It was the first Kannada movie to bypass the traditional film financing model. The director initially offered the lead role to model turned actor Diganth but he was later replaced by Sathish Ninasam, who has played supporting roles in many Kannada films. Lucia was made at a budget of . Kannada language television channel Udaya TV bought the satellite rights of the film for . Actor Sathish Ninasam along with the music director Poornachandra Tejaswi visited colleges in Davangere to promote Lucia.

It was released across Bangalore, Chennai, Kochi, Hyderabad, Mumbai, Pune, Ahmedabad, Surat, and Delhi with English subtitles. Lucia was also set to be released in Pakistan.

Critical reception

The critics praised the film. Anurag Kashyap tweeted "My birthday gift to myself would be lucia...". Actor Siddharth was "blown away" after watching the movie. He immediately called the director Pawan Kumar and praised him. Lucia was also in the race for India's official entry to the Oscars.

The movie received positive reviews from critics.

Influences and cultural references
Director Pawan Kumar admitted to have taken influence from Christopher Nolan and David Lynch. The dream and real sequences being shot in monochrome and in color to differentiate between the two stories, like the Memento and Open Your Eyes to alternate between two plot-lines. The movie's relation with dream and reality and the interrelation between the two. There is also a scene where Nolan's movie Following is seen playing on a TV screen. Requiem for a Dream is also seen playing on a TV in the same scene which is also an influence as the movie deals with addiction. Apart from the cinematic influences, the theme of dream and illusion is also shown as an influence of the poem Nee Mayeyolago by Kanaka Dasa which is quoted at the beginning of the movie. The poem is also partially contained in the lyrics of the song Nee Toreda Galigeyali in the soundtrack.

Home media
The film was released in Blu-ray, HD DVD, DVD 5.1, VCD Version From Anand Video Studio. It is the first Kannada film to be released in Blu-ray. The director, an advocate of alternative distribution strategies for indie filmmakers, was recently quoted as saying, "It's time to set up your own virtual movie theaters on the World Wide Web which will be open 24×7 across the globe."

An acre foot of water is equal to 325,851 gallons of water. This is a known quantity used in agriculture.
293mm of rainfall over our 165 acres of property means that almost 200 million litres of water fell on our property in April and May.
Our pump station has the capacity to pump 1400 gallons/minute when we irrigate. To put the equivalent amount of water on through irrigation, we would have had to pump 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for 26 days straight.
Just like dry years expose any weaknesses in our irrigation system, a wet year will expose weaknesses in our drainage system. First let me say that the capital money spent on drainage in 2011 and 2012 was money very well spent. Without all of those improvements we would have had a lot more problems than we did. Carts would have been cancelled many more times than they were, and we wouldn't have been able to mow certain areas for long periods of time.
However, as we learned this year, there are still improvements that could be made to our drainage. Most notable is the area near the irrigation reservoir on the right side of #5. This area has been wet in prior springs but never this wet. Our plan is to install a sump pump and pump the water to the drainage ditch behind the fairway bunker on #5. You may have noticed the sump pump between 5 and 13 failed and was not operating for a few days. Water quickly pooled there and it was a lesson in how much that pump actually helps keep everything dry down on 5 and 13. The addition of another one near the reservoir will help even more.
The left side of #6 all the way across the approach to the irrigation reservoir.
The left side of #8 in the rough short of the fairway. This needs to be pumped to a catch basin halfway up #8.
The left side of #12, left of the cart path. Again a sump pump is likely the answer.
The left side of #15 about 180 yards from the green. A deep cut needs made through a hill in the fairway to get it to gravity drain to a catch basin in the fairway.
These areas will be added to our Long Range Plan and addressed as time and budget allow. I know that drainage is not the most exciting thing to talk about (or spend money on), but it's essential for growing healthy turf and having happy golfers. Let's hope for some dry, sunny weather going forward!

New Pastor Installed – Fr. Honest Munishi, CSSp
On Sunday, February 8, 2015, the parish community of St. Edward the Confessor Parish in Baltimore gathered for a festive parish liturgy to install their newly appointed pastor, Fr. Honest Munishi, CSSp. Bishop Denis Madden, representing Archbishop William Lori, Archbishop of Baltimore, presided at the ceremony which marks the formal introduction and presentation of a newly appointed pastor to the faith community.
In addition to the large member of faithful from St. Edward's and the Tanzanian faith community, present at the ceremony were Fr. Jeffrey Duaime, CSSp., US provincial of the Spiritans, Fr. Leonce Rambau, CSSp. of Tanzania, other religious priests, and Mrs. Liberata Mulamula, Ambassador of Tanzania to the United States.
Fr. Munishi was born in Moshi, Tanzania and has been assigned to the US Province since 2010. Ordained a Spiritan priest in 2000, he has had several pastoral ministry experiences which have prepared him well for his new assignment at St. Edward's. From 2001-03, he was Assistant Pastor and then Pastor at St. Patrick Mission in Zimbabwe. He served as assistant Pastor at Holy Trinity Parish in Harare, Zimbabwe from 2003-05. He also served as the Bursar of the District of Zimbabwe. In 2005-06, he was the Pastor at St. James Parish, Chipinge, Zimbabwe. He also served as Manager for Missionary Spirit Travel in Arusha, Tanzania from 2006-10. In 2010, Father Munishi was assigned to the US Province to be part of a Spiritan team serving five parishes in eastern Arkansas: St. Mary's Catholic Church in Helena, St. Francis of Assisi Church in Forrest City, St. John the Baptist Church in Brinkley, St. Andrew Church in Marianna, and St. Mary of the Lake Church in Horseshoe Lake. In September 2014, he was officially appointed Pastor of St. Edward Parish in Baltimore, MD.
The St. Edward Church family is blessed to have Fr. Honest Munishi, CSSp. as our pastor. He comes to us with many skills that will enable us to keep our focus on God as we continue to build a strong Christian community and to always reminds us "In Times Like These, There's No Place Like Home."

The Development Bank of Southern Africa (DBSA) is a South African based Development Finance Institution (DFI), whose mandate is to use infrastructure to promote economic growth and improve quality of life.
As a DFI based in an emerging market and operational throughout the African continent, DBSA offers a unique perspective on how such an institution operates in the blended finance space.
Mohan Vivekanandan is Group Executive for Client Coverage & Origination at DBSA. Before joining DBSA, Mohan had a background in management and strategy consulting. While working as a consultant he realized that the projects that truly interested him were bigger public sector projects that involved more than just the profitability of a company. He wanted the opportunity to work on projects and programs that can transform an industry overtime, and bring economic growth and sustainability to the region and the continent.
That's how he found his way to DBSA.
We spoke to Mohan about how blended finance fits into DBSA's overall mandate, why the first green bank in an emerging market wouldn't exist without blended finance, and what advice he would give to other emerging market DFIs who want to engage in blended finance.
What is DBSA's overall investment approach and mandate as a DFI?
The way we think about our investment approach is to look at it from a value chain perspective. So, the value chain for infrastructure starts with a multi-year plan, from there we help set up programs (e.g. renewable energy program), out of that program can be a number of individual projects, which we help prepare (e.g. funding feasibility studies etc.), then financing, which is the core of what we do as a DFI. In terms of financing, we have traditionally been a provider of long-term debt. In South Africa, we provide that financing in Rand, outside of South Africa we do it in USD or EU.
We also have a post-financing division, which we think is quite unique for a DFI. There are many government entities in the region that don't have the capability to actually build and maintain infrastructure. So, our post-financing division acts as an implementing agent for governments to do just that.
How does blended finance fit into this overall mandate?
In the past we were mostly focused on measuring ourselves based on the value of our own financing. But a few years ago, we re-examined the impact we were having, and we did some analysis which indicated that South Africa should be investing at least 2% of its GDP into sustainable infrastructure every year, about $7 billion. However, we were only doing a little more than $1 billion a year in investments straight from our balance sheet. So, we realized we needed to crowd in capital from other sources, either from other DFIs or from the private sector, for us to have the kind of impact we wanted.
So, we decided to measure not just the value of our own financing, but also other financing we were able to catalyze. This is how blended finance became a key part of our strategy and one of the key metrics we use to measure ourselves.
What does this blending look like in reality? Can you describe a recent deal to us?
We are currently in the process of launching the Climate Finance Facility (CFF), the first green bank in an emerging country. The Green Climate Fund recently announced it would provide $55.6 million to the CFF. Convergence also provided upfront support for the design of the facility. Once operational it will be a $150 million facility, which will be used to support private sector investment in climate financing including renewable energy, energy efficiency, and water and sanitation.
The blending was absolutely crucial here. The GCF is basically providing their portion of the funding on a zero-interest basis, it's not a grant, they'll need to be repaid, but there's little to no interest being charged. That helps make it a very cost effective long-term source of capital for these projects.
Can you tell us a bit more about the foreign exchange or currency risk you are exposed to and how you mitigate against that?
Unfortunately, right now South Africa is one of the only countries in Southern Africa that is able to fund long-term infrastructure in its own currency. All the other countries have to borrow in dollars or euros. You can do a shorter tenor portion with local banks or institutional investors, but when you're talking about more than 7 years, it needs to be provided in hard currency and we haven't fully solved for that.
The countries in the Common Monetary Area, including Namibia, Swaziland, Lesotho, are tied to the rand so we are able to do rand-based financing there. But we're lending to most of the other countries in dollars and euros, which is a big risk for these countries, because the underlying economy of these countries have to pay for these assets and if and when the currency does depreciate, they will get stuck. So, it is a problem. Existing instruments like TCX aren't really set up for long-term infrastructure borrowing.
How does DBSA measure the impact of your investments?
This is an area we still need to improve on. Traditionally this was very crude, we simply count the amount of capital we put into a project. Since then we've incorporated metrics on third-party capital mobilization to determine the overall value, but it's still measuring project value rather than ultimate impact.
We started measuring and requesting metrics like, number households that will benefit from the project/intervention, the amount of power being put into the grid, and kilometres of road built. But it still doesn't measure the ultimate impact of how lives are being improved. You can build a road but if no one traverses it, then where's the impact? We haven't been sophisticated enough about the ultimate economic and social impact of our work and it's an area we're working on now. We're actually looking at building new development indicators that start measuring some those aspects.
What has been your experience collaborating with different stakeholders in blended finance? Public, private, and philanthropic?
It's been quite good, we primarily tend to work with other DFIs. We may join them on some technical assistance and then use that to co-finance the project and also bring in some commercial banks.
Our experience working with commercial banks and private equity funds, investing as project sponsors in infrastructure projects, has also been quite positive. They are incredibly disciplined, which means they push the project development timescale to get the project through the engineering life cycle, to get all the approvals, to close the finances, and to operate it.
We haven't done as much with philanthropic organizations, so that's an area we're now looking at expanding. Traditionally, we were doing very large infrastructure projects that were $50 milllion, $100 million or bigger, which didn't leave a lot of room for them. But now we're broadening our focus to smaller projects as well, projects that are more tech enabled and innovative (e.g. off-grid energy), and I think that's creating opportunities for us to start working with philanthropic agencies.
You mentioned you were working with a lot of other DFIs, do you have any advice you would give to a DFI who is newer to engaging in blended finance?
For a smaller emerging market DFI, I think they need to know that size is not as important as your ability, and the partnerships, credibility, and access you have in your home market. We actively try to work with smaller national DFIs in the African countries we operate in, because having them in a transaction, even if we have to lend to them so they can on-lend to a project, gets more local buy-in. It means we have more local people on the ground who can help us, making success more likely.
So, for those DFIs, don't underestimate what you can do. There's a lot of capital there, and there are a lot of entities, bigger DFIs who have access to capital, who would like to work with you. What you need to bring to the table is your access to the finance ministry and decisionmakers, but also your knowledge of priority projects and understanding of local contexts. Smaller national DFIs have an important role to play.

Land Rover draws a Defender in the snow for 70th birthday
Land Rover looks great for its age.
April 10, 2018 10:06 a.m. PT
I'm not sure who's tracking the record for "world's most remote Land Rover Defender outline," but the company believes it's broken that record with one seriously off-the-radar expedition.
Land Rover has created an 820-foot outline of the classic Defender SUV as part of the automaker's 70th-birthday celebration. The outline was drawn in the snow of the French Alps, at an elevation of nearly 9,000 feet. Simon Beck, a snow artist (go figure) used his feet to create the outline in the midst of freezing temperatures and, presumably, no LTE signal.
The outline looks pretty beefy, so it's fairly obvious that Beck didn't complete the whole thing in one loop. In fact, it took 10.2 miles of walking and 20,894 steps in total to create the outline. I am hoping he at least got a ride to the outline's location, otherwise his legs are going to be sore.
Land Rover made this outline as part of a larger announcement. The automaker will celebrate April 30 as World Land Rover Day, marking 70 years to the day since the original Land Rover's debut at the 1948 Amsterdam Motor Show.
That day, Land Rover will host a livestream from the UK that will feature people who had a hand in creating a wide variety of the SUVs that Land Rover has released, from the original in 1948 all the way to the Discovery in 1989.

Next Sentinels Day London

pwatson1974
As we're approaching the end of May, it's probably time to organise when we're meeting up for the next London Sentinels Day (TM). As Ameena's partner Ja'ph can only do Sundays, the options are:
Sunday 8th (LOB: The Mad Hatter, 3-7 Stamford Street, SE1 9NY)
Sunday 15th (LOB: The Mad Hatter, 3-7 Stamford Street, SE1 9NY)
Sunday 22nd (LOB: The Mad Hatter, 3-7 Stamford Street, SE1 9NY)
So, which date suits people the best? I would be aiming for the 15th/22nd so that GSF has time to cross the Atlantic before we play.
Also if people find the LoB locatin too much of a pain to get to as the Old Star is probably no longer available, let me know and I'll organise something, probably at the Jugged Hare as they were prettty good last time (although they only open at 12 on Sunday so it would be later than usual).
G+ games: I am part of the 100%

I favour the 29th, since I'll definitely be in London by then.

Ja'Ph' will be arriving at my house in about 45 mins so I'll try and remember to ask him if he has a preference. I don't think it'll matter, though, unless he happens to end up working any of those Sundays. I just looked up that Mad Hatter place on Google Maps and as I was thinking we'd have to get a Tube from Victoria...then remembered that trains from Swanley go to Blackfriars as well so we can get one of those instead and just walk across the bridge :).
Mezike
Neither the 8th or the 22nd would work for me, so the 29th would also be my favoured choice. I'll certainly be along for GSF, that previous play wasn't really enough to get into the game so I'd like to play again all the way through.
Ja'Ph' is working on a couple of Sundays, he thinks early in June, but needs to check on it to confirm. I'll see if I can remember to remind him later :).
Last seen: 1 year 2 months ago
I'd like to play a complete game of GSF too :(
Unlikely I'll get to London again any time soon though. Sad times.
Just assume I'm always doing that.
Damn it, Ronway!
Ja'Ph' is working on the 8th, he's just told me, and he says that when he's in work tomorrow he'll say he can't do any other Sundays after that so hopefully we should be able to attend any of the others. Awaiting confirmation though.
I would like to come along, unfortunately I only know my work rota a little bit in advance so I shall just have to sit here with fingers crossed that it's at a time I can make it.
Unless something major changes, we'll be at LoB on the 29th June. The reservations open on the 15th at 12. The meet-up itself opens at 12, as, presumably, does the pub. As it's part of the LoB meetup, could non-LoBsters join up and reserve spaces to avoid us getting in trouble.
I will bring GSF along as well as Sentinels, but as it looks like there'll be a few of us, could a second copy of Sentinels make it's way down as well, please?
June 15, 2014 - 8:17am
Just as a reminder to people, the London on Board meet up for the 29th is now open for booking.
June 15, 2014 - 6:22pm
Ah yes, thanks for the reminder - Ja'Ph' and I shall be there :).

Thanks for the reminder, RSVP'ed.

UK people, owing to a lot of busyness this month, the only Sunday I can make in July is next Sunday, the 13th. Is this convenient for people? We'd be back at the Mad Hatter, same place as last time.
I'll try and remember to ask Ja'Ph' tonight when he's online and get back to you :).
Okay, we're signed up for it :).
Just a reminder (more to myself than anything) that the game day is tomorrow!
It ends at 18.00 because of the football
Time to sort out August's London Sentinels' Day (TM).
All are at the Railway Tavern, which is near Liverpool Street Station
3rd August
There are also Saturday games at the Theodore Bullfrog, Between Charing Cross and Embankment.
After a bit of searching around on Google Maps I finally managed to find both Liverpool Street Station (which I've never been to, except in Monopoly ;)) and the specific Railway Tavern you meant (originally Googling just that name gave me about six results, lol). It looks like we can get the train to Blackfriars (if it's open this time...), or maybe Farringdon (as I seem to recall that the train that goes through Blackfriars stops there as well) and then the Tube from there. I'll try and remember to mention it to Ja'Ph' this evening and confirm which day we both fancy coming along.
If only you'd been near Liverpool Street Station back in may when I was staying near Aldgate ;)
We can come along on the 10th if that sounds good.
10th is fine with me. The booking is already open.
Oh, cool I'll go and sign up now, then :).
August 10, 2014 - 7:07am
Given that this is the 3rd (or is it 4th?) date in a row that I have missed, I'm just going to go ahead and say I can't do Sundays anymore, sorry guys.
Umm, so Ja'Ph' and I were a bit late (twenty minutes), given that we had to wait about twenty minutes for a Tube from Blackfriars. Then we emerged from Liverpool Street Station and couldn't find the Railway Tavern. So we asked a random policeman and he said it wasn't there any more 'cause it had been boarded up and stuff, so we went along the road a bit and found a place that looked like it had been boarded up, stood there for a while, then went off and did other stuff as we had no way of contacting anyone to ask what was going on.
Now we're home I've had a better look on Google Maps (I was kind of tired when I did so the other night, and forgot to Street View it and stuff) and found that the place is actually there, and that it was round the other side of the station from where we came out (we'd've come out near it if that exit hadn't been closed off, however).
So, whoops, lol. But at least we'll be able to find it next time, if we're there again (and hopefully there will be more Tube trains headed along the Circle line so we won't be so late again :P). Sorry if you were sat waiting for us to arrive :(.
As today didn't work out so well, do people want to try again next Sunday? Same place and time?
Ja'Ph' thinks he is working next Sunday - we'll have to get back to you when he knows which Sundays he's off.
ViolentSilence
I'm out for the next few weekends (flat/house-share hunting basically, but I don't have time to see places after work), is it too early to try and pick a time in September? I'd be good to meet you all!
Ja'Ph' is working next week but not on the 31st so we can do then if it's okay.
31st is fine for me. Booking is open for that sesseion now.
Okies, have just gone and signed up for it :). We should be able to actually find the place this time rather than mooching about on the wrong road and asking for directions from someone who thought the place had shut two weeks previously ;).
And time for September's Sentinels day to be announxced. LoB has something every weekend (actually every single day except today, but that's just silly) this month, so when can people make it?
I shall inquire tonight and get back to you :). Will it be at that Railway place again?
All the Sunday sessions are at the Railway Tavern. The Saturday ones are at the Theodore Bullfrog
September 4, 2014 - 11:52am
I will say that if the day were the 21st I would definitely be able to attend.
Last seen: 1 hour 50 min ago
This event seems to have become as regular as the Indianapolis meetups, maybe it should be stickied? (Or maybe there should be some overview thread that is stickied.)
September 8, 2014 - 4:58pm
You are correct! If a city gets meetups on such a regular basis, they get a stickied thread!
Yay us :D.
It's looking like Ja'Ph' may not have a free weekend this month (lots of full working weekends and then we are going to the wedding of a friend of mine on the 27th) but he needs to confirm it, which he intends to do at some point within the next few days.
ewww, it's all sticky in here now!
This month is crazy busy at the weekends for me but I would very much like to come along next month. I'll keep an eye out for the October dates!
We're not gonna be able to make anything for this month, I'm afraid - Ja'Ph's next free day on a weekend will be on the fifth.
Ok. Sorry you can't make it this month. As Matchstickman can make the 21st, we'll make that the Sentinels Day. At the Railway Tavern right gy the huilding site by Liverpool Street station.
Don't forget to book with the London on Board site.
Duh un, will see you there!
Sunday sunday sunday!
I actually managed to get along there, Huzzah!, and much gaming was done. There were 4 games of Sentinels played, with lots of playtesting with fan made decks (I felt quiet left out with all those character ideas flying around) and official WotC decks, so much cut out paper! We lost as many games as we won but even when we lost we put up a good fight.
After that it was time for Tactics, it was my first time seeing the finished product. I was impressed by the comics/scenario books, particularly with their crossovers with the flavour text on the cards.
We played all 3 Blade scenarios, with AZ and Ra taking the roles of the heroes.
The first scenario was completely dominated by baron Blade, the heroes spent a lot of time chasing him around the board for no effect, I think the heroes managed a whopping 1 point of damage to Blade over the course of the whole scenario!
Scenario 2 was the complete opposite, the heroes crushed everything that Baron Blade put down. With area attacks coming from both AZ and Ra Blade went down quiet a few times too. Even with Forcefield turrets and his Kinetic Redistributor up and running it was a whitewash for Blade.
The cumulation of the Baron's plot was a nailbiter. There were no turrets on the board to start with but that soon changed, forcefield turrets were the name of the game. It seemed wrong but Ra kept using Drawn to the Flame to push the Turrets around, and the Pylons! AZ kept up the area damage with Thermal Shockwave again, and it proved very effective, but just as deadly to the heroes with Blade Redistributing it back at them. Eventually it came down to the final turn, with 2 Pylons needed and 2 surrounding AZ at 3 damage each, and Blade there ready to redistribute the damage if the Pylons didn't explode.
Heroes scored a very close victory!
Most frequently used powers
Baron Blade: Kinetic Redistributor (Paul)
AZ: Thermal Shockwave (Matt, not on these forums)
Ra: Drawn to the Flame (Me)
Stupid moment: Ra aimed as his first action, then use Drawn to the Flame rolling a 4d attack, three 2s and one 1, automisses on a 2.
Fun had: Lots.
Glad you enjoyed yourself, MatchstickMan. *shakes fist at the meddling heroes for ruinging the lgorious plan to bring order to Megalopolis*
So, time for October's to be planned. There's a LoB on every weekend, so which days can people mnake?
Ja'Ph's next free Sunday will be the 12th :).
So I was at a friend's wedding yesterday (with Ja'Ph') and I unexpectedly met up with another old school friend and at the reception we started talking about games - her partner said he played Magic a bit and so I then had to say something along the lines of "There's this card game we play that's co-operative and it's to do with superheroes and stuff and even though I'm not really interested in superheroes or comics and stuff I think this game is really amazing..." and we then spent over an hour talking about Sentinels and I basically sold it to them because they say they're gonna look into buying it :D. I also told them about the regular London meet-ups and they might be along to one of those at some point (they both work in London so they said they can get there pretty easily), so we can split into two groups or something if they show up and there's too many of us for a single game :).
All will be assimilated.
As no-one's said otherwise, next London Sentinels day will be Sunday October 12th. Don't forget to book through the London on Board site.
Ahh I see sign-ups are available - I'm in :).
RSVP'd
I'm busy up till around 2pm but the afternoon is clear after then.
October 13, 2014 - 2:50am
Bit of an issue with November's date as there are holidays in the middle for 3/4 of the regular group, so, available dates are just the 9th and the 30th, both Sundays, both at the Railway Tavern. Any preferences for which of those two?
October 15, 2014 - 4:04pm
I think we're up for the 30th :).
November 18, 2014 - 6:06am
30th confirmed as date of the next meetup. Booking open. Don't forget to reserve your place in the Meetup group.

Cody Deaner's Giv'er for Charity partnering with Community Living Oshawa/Clarington to raise funds for their programs
Cody Deaner has announced that throughout October and November 2019, his "Giv'er for Charity" campaign will be raising money for Community Living Oshawa/Clarington (CLOC) communitylivingoc.ca
Cody had the following to say about this special partnership:
For well over a decade, I have wrestled in the city of Oshawa, Ontario. I've had some of my wildest matches there and have years of memories with their die-hard and dedicated fans.
After all my years of wrestling there, I've been christened "The King of The 'Shwa" 👑 I have a special connection with many kids from the City of Oshawa and so many folks from The 'Shwa have supported the numerous charity fundraisers I've done over the years.
I've decided I want to give back to this city that has given me so much over the years by helping raise money for an amazing local organization.
Many of my most loyal supporters from Oshawa use the services of a local charitable organization called Community Living Oshawa/Clarington(CLOC). CLOC is a charitable organization offering opportunities for personal growth, community inclusion and empowerment to people with developmental disabilities, and their families. CLOC's vision is for people with developmental disabilities to be included in a community where everyone lives, works, participates, succeeds and flourishes.
And we have some special things planned to help raise funds for CLOC:
1) The Oshawa Generals Hockey Club has donated 4 tickets to a game that we will raffle off and donate the 100% $ from the raffle to CLOC. This raffle will happen at the Oct 15th Pro Wrestling Eclipse event at the Oshawa Legion. We also have some autographed collector cards of players to give away in this special raffle.
2) I will be speaking to the community at CLOC on November 18th. I'll be sharing my story of daring to dream BIG and letting everyone at CLOC know their dreams are possible.
This special fundraiser will be happening throughout October and November. 100% proceeds from all of my "Giv'er for Charity" merch sold at my wrestling and speaking events will be donated to this amazing charity to help them run their programs.
For those who can't make it out to an event in Oct/Nov, I have also set-up this online donation option so folks can get involved.
Let's make this fundraiser our best one yet. Let's just not giv'er... Let's giv'er for CHARITY!

Cody Deaner & "Giv'er for Charity" partners with Mariam Society to send girls to school
Throughout the month of September, Cody Deaner and Giv'er for Charity are partnering up to raise money to send girls in rural India to school.
Cody had the following to say about the partnership on his Facebook page:
"My journey in both professional wrestling & professional speaking has led me to meet some pretty amazing people... This year my journey led me to St. Joseph's school in Acton, Ontario. After my presentation a young girl named Emmy (in the pic with the overalls with her two younger sisters Lizzie and Frannie) approached me and told me how inspired she was by my message to "dream BIG." She then told me I should talk to her mom Gita.
Emmy and her sister Lizzie went home and told their mom about me and Gita and I got in touch. She told me about her not-for-profit organization that encourages young girls to DREAM BIG. I knew immediately that I wanted to help.
So I'm excited to announce that throughout the month of September, "Giv'er for Charity" will be partnering with Mariam Society to help send young girls to school so they can #dreamBIG
The Mariam Society believes in the power of education to change a girl's life. They help girls living in poverty stay in school, perform better, and dream bigger.
The Mariam Society is partnered with the Grameen Foundation & together they provide education bursary and mentorship programs that partner women and men in Canada with girls in rural India, to help them pursue higher education, and imagine a life in which dreams are possible.
It costs $264 Canadian dollars to send one girl to school for one year. Currently, there is a young girl named Nandini (profile below) who has a dream to be a teacher and help other needy children achieve their dreams.
I'm hoping, with your help, we can raise that $264 for Nandini. Throughout September, at all of my speaking and wrestling events I'll be collecting all money from my "Giv'er for Charity" t-shirts and pictures and donating it to this cause. If you'd like to donate personally to this cause and aren't able to attend an event, you can contact me personally via email or visit www.mariamsociety.org to donate and/or learn more.
Together, I believe we can GIV'ER for charity and help Nandini and others like her to DREAM BIG!
Cody Deaner visits Rumball Deaf Camp and helps raise $2502 to send more kids to camp
On July 30th, 2019, Cody Deaner visited the Rumball Deaf Camp to be a guest speaker for the day. A few years ago, Cody connected with a camper from Rumball named Christopher. Together, last year, they raised $1000 to send underprivileged kids to Rumball Deaf Camp. This year, their campaign raised $2502.
During his visit, Cody toured the camp, met the campers, went swimming, and shared his "Dare to Dream BIG" presentation with all the campers. He had the following to say about his visit:
"My words won't do this experience justice, but I'll try...A few years ago, I met a young deaf boy named Christopher at a wrestling show. He blessed me with a sign language name and from that day forward, we've formed a friendship that has blossomed into us raising money together through my "Giv'er for Charity" campaign for an amazing place... The Rumball Camp of The Deaf. Yesterday... I had the honor and privilege of not just visiting this amazing place, but sharing my story of "dreaming BIG" with all of the wonderful campers.
Bob Rumball was an amazing man. And his organization is now a family operated foundation. Yesterday, I had the privilege of meeting the Rumball family who pour their heart and soul into this place. They truly have servant hearts for every single camper. The ring leader of this amazing crew is Bob Rumball's son - Derek Rumball.
Derek took me on a guided tour of the camp. He showed me the lookout point where the kids can go cliff diving or swing off the Tarzan rope into the water. He took me out on their boat to show me the beautiful lake the kids get to canoe, kayak, wakeboard, ski, and tube in. He showed me their natural lakewater splash pad and water slide. Which I immediately had to slide down with a bunch of campers 😆😆😆
I heard stories about the various campers and staff. I spoke to dozens of smiling, appreciative children. All who have been dealt a difficult hand in life... but also all refuse to not let that bring them down. Their smiles and pure appreciation for me being there genuinely made my day. It was immediately apparent to me that this was no ordinary camp. The Rumball Camp is a special place. A very very special place.
As I've travelled around the country speaking... I have literally told THOUSANDS of kids across Canada about my buddy Christopher and our fundraising efforts for the Rumball Camp. It meant SO MUCH to me to be able to tell that story at this camp, WITH CHRISTOPHER, in front of all of his camp friends.
The smile on Christopher's face alone made this trip worthwhile.
I have more stories from my visit that I will share in the coming days. All of them point to one thing... I was MEANT to be connected to this camp. I truly believe my involvement with this amazing place and, more importantly, these amazing people was not an accident. It was meant to be. And I look forward to many more years to come of working with the amazing folks at the Rumball Camp of the Deaf.
Thanks for sharing this little piece of heaven with me.
Bob Rumball was definitely a man who dared to dream BIG. And his family is continuing to live that dream out for the betterment of so many young people. It's an honor to be a small part of this amazing big dream.

Q: Create a directory and get the handle by issuing one IRP When we create a file by CreateFile, the file created and we get the handle.
But CreateDirectory doesn't return directory's handle.
I'd like to also get the handle when I create a directory.
I want to handle this by issuing only one I/O request packet.
So, 'Do CreateDirectory, then CreateFile with FILE_FLAG_BACKUP_SEMANTICS.' won't be an answer.
It will issue two Irps to file system.
Is there an Api I can use in Usermode(Win32 Api)?

A: NT can do this, but Win32 doesn't expose it.  You need to use NT APIs for this.  NtCreateFile, specifically.  It should follow the same parameters of ZwCreateFile.
Here's an illustrative example (hacked up in a hurry inside a web form -- YMMV):
HANDLE
CreateDirectoryAndGetHandle(PWSTR pszFileName)
{
    NTSTATUS Status;
    UNICODE_STRING FileName;
    HANDLE DirectoryHandle;
    IO_STATUS_BLOCK IoStatus;
    OBJECT_ATTRIBUTES ObjectAttributes;

    RtlInitUnicodeString(&FileName, pszFileName);
    InitializeObjectAttributes(&ObjectAtributes, &FileName, 0, NULL, NULL);

    Status = NtCreateFile(&DirectoryHandle,
                          GENERIC_READ | GENERIC_WRITE,
                          &ObjectAttributes,
                          &IoStatus,
                          FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL,
                          FILE_SHARE_READ | FILE_SHARE_WRITE | FILE_SHARE_DELETE,
                          FILE_CREATE,
                          FILE_DIRECTORY_FILE,
                          NULL,
                          0);

    if (NT_SUCCESS(Status))
    {
       return DirectoryHandle;
    }
    else
    {
       SetLastError(RtlNtStatusToDosError(Status));
       return INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE;
    }
}

Some things to note...

*

*NT paths have slightly different conventions than Win32 paths...  You might have to sanitize the path.

*When talking about HANDLEs, NT APIs generally deal with NULL rather than INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE.

*I didn't do it here, but by changing the InitializeObjectAttributes call you can do interesting things, like do a create relative to another directory handle.  Of course all the flags I've put in here you might also want to change.  Consult documentation and/or the web for best results.

 // Recreates old behavior of ng-transclude. Used internally.
  .directive('uisTranscludeAppend', function () {
    return {
      link: function (scope, element, attrs, ctrl, transclude) {
          transclude(scope, function (clone) {
            element.append(clone);
          });
        }
      };
  })

Not sure what is causing that problem as the code is very similar to what the example code is.

A: I just ran into this exact issue. After looking through the comments on the ui-select Github page here, it seems ui-select only works with AngularJS 1.2.18 and higher. I just verified this by upgrading from 1.2.17 to 1.2.18 and the issue is resolved.

McDonald, 70, a District native who retired from the Labor Department after 30 years as an investigator, said he wasn't prepared for the level of anti-government fervor he encountered.
Census officials say they do not consider anti-government sentiment more widespread than usual this year. But Fernando Armstrong, the Philadelphia regional census director responsible for Maryland and the District, said it seems to be more vociferous.

Q: Website database issue... [PHP, MySQLi, HTML] So I am working on this under construction page for my own small business's website. I want to have an email field so that users write their email so that i can later tell them when the page is finished. But I am having trouble with the database. Apparently the connection is established but the data is not being written to the table in the DB. This is my php code, it is embedded on the top of my index.html:
    <?php require 'connections/connections.php'; ?>
<?php

    if(isset($_POST['submit'])) {

            $Fname = $_POST['first_name'];
            $Lname = $_POST['last_name'];
            $Email = $_POST['email'];

            $sql = $con->query("INSER INTO subscriptions (Fname, Lname, Email)Values('{$Fname}', '{$Lname}', '{$Email}')");

            header ('Location: confirm.html');

        }

?>

This is my connections.php file, required by the above code:
    <?php
$con = mysqli_connect("localhost", "webmaster_velez", "Cristianpromw3", "nexus_subscriptions");

if (mysqli_connect_errno())
  {
  echo "Failed to connect to MySQL: " . mysqli_connect_error();
  }
?>

This is the HTML that the user interacts with to send their email address:

            <form id="SubscriptionForm" name="RegisterForm" method="post">

                    <input name="first_name" type="text" required="required" class="TField" id="first_name" form="SubscriptionForm" placeholder="First Name">

                    <input name="last_name" type="text" required="required" class="TField" id="last_name" form="SubscriptionForm" placeholder="Last Name">

                    <input name="email" type="email" required="required" class="TField" id="email" form="SubscriptionForm" placeholder="Email">

                    <input name="submit" type="submit" class="button" id="submit" form="SubscriptionForm" value="Submit">

            </form>

Any help, corrections, and/or advice on this would be much appreciated and accepted. Thanks in advance.
PS. I am new to PHP and database/server dynamics.

A: From reading the code you've written, I would assume that the main problem you are facing is this typo - "INSER INTO" should be "INSERT INTO".
You'll also need to implement some try error blocks to catch if any errors are happening and protect yourself from SQL vulnerabilities/injections.
