That said, the film does not fall into the 'must watch' category for a few reasons. The sentimental scenes aren't that great and there's one scene where a martyr's wife refuses to wash her husband's clothes (for memory). It's executed badly and makes you cringe. Except for the fact that Major Vihaan (Vicky Kaushal) is a brave officer, there isn't much else noteworthy about his character. His chest-thumping patriotism is great (though nowhere close to Sunny Deol's immortal monologue in 'Gadar') and doesn't come across as forced.
As for the other characters, Paresh Rawal's performance is surprisingly shaky and underwhelming. It seems like he is trying too hard, and I can't remember the last time I have seen him do that. Kirti Kulhari and Yami Gautam don't have much to do, but they come across as sincere and genuine. Aditya Dhar's direction is spot on when it comes to action scenes, but he resorts to ineffective melodrama when it comes to emotional scenes. For a first time director who is making a war film, that is not a bad prognosis. For some strange reason, I saw a lot of similarity between him and Neeraj Pandey's style of filmmaking.
The two things that are great about this film though are 1) the action scenes and 2) the background score. On the basis of that, this film may manage to rake in good money at the box office. The storytelling style is extremely commercial and if you're expecting an artistic war film (just because it has Vicky), you'll be disappointed. If you're expecting an entertaining (and cathartic) action film with plenty of blood, guns and bullets, you should definitely watch it.

"What year is that?" The young man and his girlfriend are standing next to their older VW Jetta, and the his eyes are lit up as he inquires into the Buick's bonafides. "It's gorgeous." And he isn't wrong; this White Frost Tricoat Regal GS is gorgeous.
The Regal GS drives well, like a GM. And I mean that in the best way. Its steering is light when it needs to be light, firm when it needs to be firm. It doesn't lean in corners, hangs on for quite a while in hairpins and has excellent all-around feel. You can tell this Buick is a front-driver at heart, even though the GS has all-wheel drive. It doesn't understeer, but its rear definitely doesn't get playful, either. If you want your drive a little more relaxed, make sure the "GS" and "Sport" buttons are off. Sport stiffens the steering and suspension. GS ramps it up another 20%. Although neither of the firmer settings are disturbingly firm.
The GS accelerates admirably, especially in the mountains and their high altitude. Its 3.6 V6 puts out 310 horsepower, 60 more than the standard Regal 2.0 turbo. A strange omission in a sport sedan like this: paddle shifters. The nine-speed automatic offers manual shifting the old-fashioned way; you pull the shifter to the left to place it in manual mode and then push up for up-shifts, down for down-shifts. Car and Driver tested the GS and it ran 0 to 60 MPH in only 5.4 seconds and went through the quarter mile in 13.9 at 101 MPH. That is less than half a second quicker than the 4-cylinder turbo Regal, but that just means the lesser Regal is very quick. The Regal beats the Acura TLX V6 and the Honda Accord 2.0 turbo, but is a little slower than the Fusion Sport with its turbocharged V6. A similarly priced Kia Stinger GT is significantly faster.
Speaking of the Stinger, the Regal GS shares one significant feature with the Kia: both are hatchbacks. The Buick Regal sedan went away with the 2017 model, replaced by the hatchback and a station wagon variant. GM really is betting against sedans. Where this change pays big dividends is the trunk. The larger LaCrosse features a 15 cubic foot trunk, the Regal GS has a gargantuan 31.5 cubic feet of cargo volume. Fold the rear seats and that jumps to an SUV-worthy 60.7 cubic feet.
Buick Sportback's Hatch is not Evident Unless You Look for It
Up front, the driver and front passenger of the GS will be very lucky, indeed. The 2019 Buick Regal GS comes standard with heated, ventilated and massaging front seats. You heard right" standard seats that warm you up, cool you off or even give you a massage. Want a cooling breeze on your backside? The BMW 3 Series, Alfa Romeo Giulia, Audi A3 Sedan, Mercedes CLA, Subaru Legacy, Nissan Altima and Toyota Camry can't help you. However, if you want a massage, too, then the Acura TLX, Audi A4, Audi A5 Sportback, Genesis G70, Honda Accord, Kia Stinger, Toyota Avalon and a slew of others are off your list, too.
The brakes on the GS are larger than everyday Regals: 13.6 inches in the front and 12.4 in the rear. Stopping distances as measured by Car and Driver are 164 feet from 70 MPH. Good enough to beat the Fusion Sport and even a foot shorter than the BMW 330i. A sweet magnetic fluid adjustable suspension differentiates the GS from other Regals and it helps the ride. All-season tires keep it from excelling in the handling department. 26.6 seconds in a Motor Trend figure-eight handling test is better than the TLX SH-AWD V6, Accord Touring and Taurus SHO, but not as good as an Accord Sport or Malibu Premier.
Some will complain that the Regal GS isn't fast enough, or especially hard in its cornering. It isn't a car that gets you in trouble with the police (unless its quiet, smooth character fool you into not noticing that you're going a good bit over the speed limit). But this is a Buick.
This competent mid-sized car won't bite you. If you're looking for a mean, surly driving companion, this isn't it. This isn't that friend that got you into a brawl with a slab of a man at the end of the bar that night. The GS doesn't tell you you didn't take that last corner fast enough. Or too fast. The GS is more of a yes-man. But then, after a long day at work, with contentious co-workers, demanding bosses and harsh florescent lighting, who couldn't use a yes-man for a while on the ride home?

Q: Detect if Object uses default toString() function or custom overwritten toString() function I have a function, which should check if an Object has a toString() function and output it or otherwise return the object. The problem is, it also triggers on plane objects  and finally returns [Object object] as a string which obivously looks awfull on the GUI. Is there a way to determine if an Object uses the default toString() method that returns the ugly [Object object] or has an custom toString() function that returns a pretty string.
Here is my current function:
(data: any) => (data != null && typeof data.toString === 'function') ? data.toString() : data;

A: 1) You can compare with Object.prototype.toString. If it is not overridden the references are equal

const obj1 = {};
console.log(obj1.toString === Object.prototype.toString);

const obj3 = { toString() { } };
console.log(obj3.toString === Object.prototype.toString);

2) You can check the existence via hasOwnProperty

const obj1 = {};
console.log(obj1.hasOwnProperty('toString'));

const obj3 = { toString() { } };
console.log(obj3.hasOwnProperty('toString'));

A: We have two options:

*

*myObj.hasOwnProperty('toString')

*myObj.toString !== Object.prototype.toString
I think it is better to use second option, because method using hasOwnProperty isn't so robust. Check out this code snipped:
class MyObj {
  toString() {
    return "myObj";
  }
}

class MyObjEx extends MyObj {
  something() {}
}

var a = new MyObj();
var b = new MyObjEx();
var c = new Object();
c.toString = () => "created by new Object()";
var d = { test: "test", toString: () => "created with object literal" };
var unchanged = { test: "test" };

console.log(
  "hasOwnProperty with 'native' toString method",
  unchanged.hasOwnProperty("toString")
);
console.log("hasOwnProperty object from class", a.hasOwnProperty("toString"));
console.log(
  "hasOwnProperty object from extended class",
  b.hasOwnProperty("toString")
);
console.log(
  "hasOwnProperty object from new Object()",
  c.hasOwnProperty("toString")
);
console.log(
  "hasOwnProperty object from object literal",
  d.hasOwnProperty("toString")
);

console.log(
  "compare with Object.prototype on unchanged object",
  unchanged.toString !== Object.prototype.toString
);
console.log(
  "compare with Object.prototype object from class",
  a.toString !== Object.prototype.toString
);
console.log(
  "compare with Object.prototype object from extended class",
  b.toString !== Object.prototype.toString
);
console.log(
  "compare with Object.prototype object from new Object()",
  c.toString !== Object.prototype.toString
);
console.log(
  "compare with Object.prototype object from object literal",
  d.toString !== Object.prototype.toString
);

Output will be:
"hasOwnProperty with 'native' toString method"    false
"hasOwnProperty object from class"    false
"hasOwnProperty object from extended class"    false
"hasOwnProperty object from new Object()"    true
"hasOwnProperty object from object literal"    true

"compare with Object.prototype on unchanged object"    false
"compare with Object.prototype object from class"    true
"compare with Object.prototype object from extended class"    true
"compare with Object.prototype object from new Object()"    true
"compare with Object.prototype object from object literal"    true

A: o = new Object();
o.prop = 'exists';
o.hasOwnProperty('prop');             // returns true
o.hasOwnProperty('toString');         // returns false
o.hasOwnProperty('hasOwnProperty');   // returns false

prototype properties will return false if you check with hasOwnProperty

A: None of the answers worked for me. The only one that worked was:
if (obj1.toString) {
  console.log(obj1.toString())
}

The Terrorist Trap - ASHARQ AL-AWSAT English Archive
The Terrorist Trap
by Sayyed Wild Abah | Jul 29, 2005 | Opinion |
In his latest article in Le Figaro newspaper on 26th July, Jail Kebele, a French researcher specialised in Islamic movements, argued against the idea that there is a growth of fundamentalist terrorism in the Islamic world. Contradicting the views relayed in a large proportion of the western media since the attacks in London and Sharm El Sheikh, he argued that it is important to recognize that these attacks are an indicator of the isolative nature of terrorist groups that aim to substitute public support with cyber space tools that allow them the opportunity to recruit more volunteering fighters. The internet has permitted free communication with recruited fighters; orders to execute terrorist attacks have been facilitated through this modern technological tool.
Kebel's analysis is clearly accurate; since he totally refutes the prevalent attitude which supports the claims that terrorist groups find great financial and public support in the Arab and Islamic world. He contests suggestions that this alleged support and the spreading of religious slogans and the exploitation of the situations in Iraq and Palestine encourages the mobilization of people.
The truth is crystal clear for those who choose to see it; the public spectrum is able to separate legitimate resistance from the terrorist groups that are void of any noble message. The reactions of people within the targeted countries and of Muslim communities in the west have clarified feelings about these terrorist groups.
Nevertheless, the methodology presented by these terrorists is problematic; the counteraction of such movements, can lead to the enrichment of the ground these groups use to incubate their ideologies.
Both the Arab and western press are regularly dragged into the trap of delivering the fearful messages of terrorist groups. The regular scenes of attacks, with the devastating loss of life and dramatic damages, fulfill the extremist's aims. It is through this form of forced propaganda that the public are terrified and the weaker segments of terrorist movements are encouraged. Clearly the coverage and analysis of these disturbing events is necessary, however as every television station covers the news, the two main objectives of these terrorist groups are being met. On the one hand they are succeeding at alienating Muslims from other communities within western communities, and on the other, they are managing to take advantage of the frailness and fears in the democratic western countries, which may increase public pressure upon governments. It is this kind of pressure that can tumble existing systems, as in Spain in 2004.
In addition many western writers, and increasingly more Arab writers, are falling into the trap of misinterpreting the relationship between these terrorist movements and the religious and cultural backgrounds in the Arab and Islamic world. Unjustified links are being made between hostility and Islam, which are in effect strengthening terrorist movements from two perspectives; in the first instance, this unfounded link provides religious legitimacy to a marginalized section of the Islamic world. In addition, suggesting that Islam is somehow hostile, promotes further cultural estrangement between Islam and the west, which goes on to provide justifications for targeting Islam.
Calls for religious reform have been introduced over recent years for a number of legitimate reasons. However it is important that the notion of reform is not used in order to demolish religious fundamentalists. Any suggestion of reform must focus upon locating new trends of interpreting religious texts, similar to those attempts made in the west.
A further trap laid by the terrorist groups involved in recent attacks, involves the reaction of security forces; it appears that attempts to increase security as a reaction to recent events has lead to the undermining of democracy. Western countries have served the aims of the terrorist groups through spreading skepticism in relation to the credibility and efficiency of democracy as a political system. Democracy is falling victim to terrorism as freedoms are restrained, and accusations of illegitimate violence are made.
Clearly the violations and infringements committed by Americans both in Guantanamo prison and prisons in Iraq, have cast a shadow upon the American war on terror. Ethical questions have been raised in relation to this war on terror and the emergence of a new legal trend that aims to justify violations, by declaring &#34Fair War". In his new book titled "On War and Terrorism", American philosopher Michael Walzer, defends the possibility of violating the concept of, &#34non molestation with non fighting civilians&#34. He argues that there are certain superior urgent matters that allow for the infringement of such concepts, therefore permitting political leaders to breach the ethics and laws of war. The hazard of this approach is that it loosens the concept of terrorism and diminishes the ethical gap between terrorism and legitimate war and transforms confrontations into ethical debates between conflicting parties. Unfortunately this can lead to the justification of terrorist crimes, since there is an absence of formal procedural forms of war.
After the first London attacks, the British Prime Minister Tony Blair"s speech was a strong and courageous one. He refused to link terrorism to Islam and Muslims; he also refused all the calls that aimed at restraint of freedoms. He considered that the most efficient means to eliminate terrorism and extremism is resorting to the fundamental aspects of democracy. Nevertheless the latest London attacks have created an atmosphere of panic and terror and I fear that this will lead Britain into the terrorist trap that America ended up in after September 11th.

After Act I, the story of Diablo III takes players across the sea to the Borderlands.
During the Diablo Lore panel at BlizzCon 2011, three new areas were shown from Act II. All three of these areas are playable and play an important part in telling the story as we progress through this Act.
Caldeum - Caldeum was the jewel of the East, and the trading center for all of Sanctuary. However, within the city there was turmoil, due to the Zakarum, rich merchants, and Wizards all vying for power over the city. Hakan eventually took rule and united the three groups to create the most prosperous city; however, his death left a son to young to rule the city. The Iron Wolves, lead by Asheara (from Diablo II), were hired to protect him until he was old enough to rule the city. The young ruler removed them and replaced them with his own Caldeum guards. Asheara is unsure of why he made this decision.
Dahlgur Oasis - This small paradise was the birth of Caldeum. A mysterious man rose from the waste and showed the original settlers this source of water which was used to help begin Caldeum. However, the story is said that this mysterious man disappeared back into the waste after showing them.
The Archives of Zoltun Kulle - Zoltun Kulle was one of the original members of the Horadrim who helped capture the Prime Evils the first time. However, he eventually became corrupt and evil. He was so strong that they could not kill him they cut him in half. They removed his head and buried it underground surrounded by magical runes. His body has sent into another dimension.
In the BlizzCon 2009 Demo, player starts in an area called Sundered Pass, and is tasked by the woman called Asheara (at this point, it is unknown if this is the same NPC from Diablo II) to reach the town called Alcarnus, which has apparently been desecrated by the Cultists. The player then sets off through several areas, of which some are the Stinging Winds and the Canyon Rim Mines. Some new monsters were revealed, like the Desert Dervish and the Desert Wasp. At the end of the Monk Reveal Trailer, the hero fought against a Morlu Caster, but this enemy did not appear in the Demo.

Diet & Normal Stool Color

Stool Color in Toddlers
What Does Candida Look Like in Stool?
The Side Effects of Cefdinir on a Baby
Minerals in Fruits & Vegetables
Normal Stool Color in Infants
By Michael Baker ; Updated June 13, 2017
Your infant's diaper can be a window into her health, but a baby's stool can appear in a wide variety of colors and textures. Even when it appears in a color you're not used to seeing, it's not necessarily a reason for panic. A few colors, however, can indicate potentially serious diseases, in which case you'll need to consult a pediatrician.
Your baby's stool generally should range in color from mustard yellow to dark brown, according to Merck. The color, however, can vary from infant to infant and depends on their diet, so stool outside of the range of this color spectrum does not necessarily indicate a health problem. If you breast-feed your baby, for example, his stool might appear lighter, closer to a daffodil yellow, according to the Children's Liver Disease Foundation, CLDF.
Your baby's stool will change in color during her first weeks and months of development, according to Mayo Clinic consultant Jay Hoecker. The first few days after she is born, her stool will have a greenish-black tint and be thick. This stool is meconium, a mix of amniotic fluid, mucus and other biological material from the infant's development, according to the U.S. National Institutes of Health's MedlinePlus. As you start to feed your baby, her stool will lighten to a greenish-brown hue and ultimately into the yellow-to-brown range. Once you begin feeding your baby solid food, her stool should darken into the light to dark brown color that you're used to seeing with stool.
Occasional different colors in your baby's stool are normal, particularly once you move him to solid foods, according to Hoecker. For example, beets might stain the stool red, or blueberries can give it blue streaks. Your baby might even have an orange bowel movement. Medicines also can change your baby's stool color. Generally, one or two bowel movements outside of the normal color range are not a cause of concern, according to the CLDF.
Certain colors of stool indicate potentially serious health problems, in which case you should visit a doctor. Hoecker recommends seeking medical help any time you notice red and bloody stool, white stool, gray stool or black stool if it occurs more than a few days after birth. Pale yellow to pale gray stools, for example, could indicate liver disease, according to the CLDF. Hoecker suggests always checking with your doctor any time you're in doubt of a proper color.
Besides the stool color, you also should monitor the consistency of your baby's stool, according to Hoecker. Most stool will range from firm to soft and runny, according to Merck. Very watery stool is a sign your infant has diarrhea, and small, pebble-like stool can indicate constipation. Additionally, the color of your baby's urine can be an indicator of health. Merck reports that urine should range from almost clear to dark yellow, though constantly deep yellow, staining urine can be a sign of health problems such as jaundice.

Home » English » London 2017 – what a day!
So today's blog post is coming right out of the Bett-Arena. This is the center and "heart" of the Bett-Show here at the ExCel London, where hundreds of inspiring people share their ideas and visions and literally shape the minds and future of thousands of people. I am here and enjoying a comfortable seat as I am waiting for my personal highlight of BETT-week 2017: The long anticipated and awaited talk of Sir Ken Robinson.
But before I want to try to sum up what already happened.
I arrived a bit later to avoid the rush hour and I bumped directly into OneNote-Edu-Mastermind Mike Tholfsen and had the chance to exchange some words and got some secrete information what's coming up within the OneNote Class Notebooks. Just a small hint: this is a feature I have been waiting for and it will give you completely new and lots more possibilities! Just look out for the announcements on the office blogs and social media around April!
I feel, that schools and education in Austria is far behind in this case. It would take a whole new approach of education to see such maker spaces within schools and make it not just a one time event, but the standard of STEM-education. Fortunately there were a lot of Austrian people and decision makers around (even from the ministry of education) and I am looking forward to what will happen in the next months.
The next stop was at TeacherDashboard , an environment that beautifully integrates with Office 365 and creates a great Learning Managament System on top of that. As I am experimenting with my own O365-tenant it was very informative to see in a quick demo, how the workflow is going and how I can facilitate an online environment for an online school, that I am dreaming of.
It is just awesome to get the holographic items into your sight! Martin just gave me the possibility to explore one of the mighty Lifeliqe 3D-models, human lungs. And I have to say: This is the way 3D should be done! These 3D models are not only eye-popping, but also very detailed and you can freely move around the objects. But more important is the educational approach to this! I am not a biology teacher, but I see really cool possibilities if this gets into the hands of students. And it will be certainly take time that this will get into daily education, but as I told Martin, I never expected that I will get this experience so soon. As a boy I thought that this kind of technology is far away in the future. Let's see where we are in ten years!
Just before the big climax of the day I stumbled right into a really inspiring talk by the famous and brilliant musician Imhogen Heap. She created not only a beautiful song with tech-gloves and her voice but also showed her vision of how tech can change the music industry.
So, when you travel to BETT for getting inspired you expect a lot from the most-watched TED-Speaker ever. And I did not get disappointed! Although I have heard, seen and read lots of Sir Ken Robinson it was fantastic one hour talk for me, that was both entertaining and inspiring. In his unique way he came across lots of things where I am feeling the same need for change and transformation. I always wished for seeing him live and I wish, that every person in the education field can get inspired by his ideas, cause he re-thinks education completely! We have to fundamentally change the way we approach schools, students and learning!
The day was coming to an end with a teachmeet driven by the UK-teachmeet-people. Three years ago I get to know this format here at BETT and I was thrilled and felt honored to get the chance to talk to hundreds of educators. This year it was a bit smaller, but also fun, as there was lots of cheering and even dancing.
Again I was lucky to be selected by the spinning wheel to present at the very right stage, that Sir Ken Robinson has "rocked" an hour before. Although I experienced some technical problems in between my presentation I had great fun and I think I get my point out there. It was a bit hard to connect to other teachers as the day took its toll, but I get some good little ideas right out of classes.
This was one of the busiest and most eventful day ever, but it was worth that it took a lot of energy! It was a very good decision to concentrate on just a few specific, dedicated booth visits. I am very grateful for getting these opportunities and experiences and I think it will take weeks to process all the information and ideas. But more than ever I am determined to change the education world and that I will follow my visions and hopefully I can inspire lots of others too!

9223.0 - Road Freight Movements, Australia, 12 months ended 31 October 2014 Quality Declaration
Data Quality Indicators (Technical Note)
TECHNICAL NOTE DATA QUALITY INDICATORS
1 When interpreting the results of a survey it is important to take into account factors that may affect the reliability of estimates. The survey procedures as well as sampling and non-sampling errors should be considered. Examination of the following quality indicators will assist users in determining fitness for purpose of the Road Freight Movements Survey.
SAMPLING ERROR
2 Estimates in this publication are based on information collected from a sample of registered articulated and rigid trucks rather than a full enumeration, and are therefore subject to sampling error. The Road Freight Movements Survey estimates may differ from the figures that would have been produced if the information had been obtained for all registered articulated and rigid trucks. Examples of the sampling error for selected estimates from the Road Freight Movements Survey are included in the tables below.
3 The sampling error associated with any estimate can be calculated from the sample results. One measure of sampling error is given by the standard error, which indicates the extent to which an estimate might have varied by chance because only a sample of articulated and rigid trucks was included. There are about two chances in three that a sample estimate will differ by less than one standard error from the figure that would have been obtained if all articulated and rigid trucks had been included, and about 19 chances in 20 that the difference will be less than two standard errors.
4 Another measure of sampling variability is the relative standard error (RSE), which is obtained by expressing the standard error as a percentage of the estimate to which it refers. The RSE is a useful measure as it provides an immediate indication of the percentage error likely to have occurred due to sampling. In this release, RSEs are presented in a separate data cube.
5 Estimates with a RSE between 25% and 50% are considered to be high and should be used with caution. Estimates with a RSE higher than 50% are considered unreliable for general use.
6 The Road Freight Movements Survey was designed primarily to minimise relative standard errors for estimates of total tonnes carried, total distance travelled and total tonne-kilometres at the state/territory of registration and vehicle type level.
7 The RSEs relating to some of the estimates contained in table 1 of this release are shown in the following table.
RSE OF TONNES CARRIED AND TONNE-KILOMETRES TRAVELLED (a)(b)
Qld.
Aust.
TONNES (%)
TONNE-KILOMETRES (%)
(a) Data are for freight carried by articulated and rigid trucks only, freight movements made by light commercial vehicles are
excluded from the survey.
(b) These relative standard errors relate to the estimates of Road Freight Movements, Australia in table 1 of the data cube.
8 As an example of the use of an RSE, the estimate of 30,040 million tonne-kilometres moved within NSW from table 1 of the data cube, has a RSE of 5.93% as shown above (i.e. the standard error is 1,781 million tonne-kilometres). Standard errors can be used to construct confidence intervals around the estimates. There are about two chances in three that the figure that would have been obtained if all articulated and rigid trucks had been included in the survey, would have been in the range 28,259 million tonne-kilometres to 31,821 million tonne-kilometres, and about 19 chances in 20 that it would have been in the range 26,478 million tonne-kilometres to 33,602 million tonne-kilometres (a range of two standard errors above and below the survey estimate).

NON-SAMPLING ERROR
10 Non-sampling error covers the range of errors that are not caused by sampling and can occur in any statistical collection whether it is based on full enumeration or a sample. For example, non-sampling error can occur because of non-response to the statistical collection, errors or omissions in reporting, definition or classification difficulties, errors in transcribing and processing data and under-coverage of the frame from which the sample was selected. If these errors are systematic (not random) then the survey results will be distorted in one direction and therefore will be unrepresentative of the target population. Systematic errors result in bias.
Response and non-response
11 A potentially important factor relating to non-sampling error is the response rate achieved. For the Road Freight Movement survey, the response rate was 77% for vehicles included in the sample.
12 Non-response to the survey predominately occurred because the ABS was unable to trace the selected vehicle or the form was not able to be completed despite all reasonable efforts being taken. Where appropriate, mail reminders and telephone follow-up were used to attempt to contact initially non-responding vehicle owners.
13 For the Road Freight Movements Survey it was assumed that the characteristics of non-responding vehicles were the same as for like responding vehicles. Non-response has the potential to cause non-response bias, which occurs if the usage patterns of the non-responding vehicles differ from those of the responding vehicles.
14 Usable responses were received from 79% of all of the selections for 2014, comprised of 74% from registered vehicles and 5% from unregistered vehicles, out of scope and duplicates. After removing those vehicles that had been found to be deregistered or out of scope, the response rate for the 2014 FMS was 77%.
15 Response rates for each state and territory, and for each vehicle type, are shown in the following tables:
RESPONSE RATES, State/Territory
RESPONSE RATES, Type of vehicle
Rigid trucks
Frame quality
16 The scope of the survey comprised all articulated and rigid trucks that were registered with a motor vehicle authority for road use at some stage during the 12 months ended 31 October 2014. A population or survey frame was identified using information obtained from the state and territory motor vehicle registration authorities, as part of the ABS Motor Vehicle Census (MVC) (cat. no. 9309.0) for 31 January 2013. From this frame a stratified sample of 16,000 vehicles were selected for reporting on vehicle use.
17 Vehicle classification anomalies arose when respondents indicated an alteration has been made to the vehicle body, resulting in a different vehicle type to that recorded on the frame. These changes happened during the time-lag between finalising the frame and collection of data (between 9 and 21 months). Vehicle classification anomalies can also result from data supplied by state and territory vehicle registration authorities.
Imputation
18 Partial imputation is the process whereby a value is generated for missing data items, based on the responses for similar vehicles which were operating for the reference period. As for the Survey of Motor Vehicle Use (SMVU), for which this survey shares its frame, the need for imputation of unanswered items on the returned questionnaires was quite high.
19 Full imputation was used for entire questionnaire non-response. The tables below show the percentage contribution to the estimates from both partial and full imputation.
CONTRIBUTION TO ESTIMATES FROM IMPUTATION(a), State/territory of registration
Percentage of total tonne-kilometres travelled
(a) Includes both partial and full imputation
CONTRIBUTION TO ESTIMATES FROM IMPUTATION(a), Type of vehicle
SURVEY PROCEDURES
20 The survey was comprised of three independent samples, with a different one used for each four month period in the overall 12 month survey period. Within each four month period, the sample was divided to cover all 52 weeks of the reference year. Estimates from each of these samples were aggregated to produce annual estimates.
Coherent Estimates
21 The results published as Road Freight Movements, Australia (cat. no. 9223.0) in this release are from the Road Freight Movement Survey, which was run as an additional road freight component of the 2014 Survey of Motor Vehicle Use (SMVU). The 2014 SMVU and the road freight component were designed together to provide coherent estimates at the state of registration by vehicle type level for total distance travelled, tonne-kilometres and total tonnes.
22 The Road Freight Movements Survey aims to measure the use of all articulated and rigid freight vehicles registered during the reference year. Because selections were taken from vehicles registered some time before the beginning of each collection period, adjustments were made to account for the change in size of the registered motor vehicle fleet since the population frame was created. The frame was created on 31 January 2013 and adjustments involved two categories:
re-registrations / de-registrations - typically older vehicles that were either leaving or returning to the registered vehicle fleet after a period of de-registration, and
new motor vehicles - vehicles which had not been previously registered.
23 These activities occur continuously and the adjustments were made to account for the registrations that are estimated to have been added to or removed from the registered vehicle fleet between the population frame date and the end of the reference period. The adjustment process also accounted for de-registrations. This means it is possible for the re-registration factor to be negative.

Pre-advice methodology
24 The quality of survey responses was improved by employing the Survey of Motor Vehicle Use pre-advice methodology. This involved vehicle owners receiving early advice about their inclusion in the survey and encouragement of a higher degree of record keeping. In addition, the reporting of odometer readings taken at the start of the survey period aided in providing reliable estimates of total distance travelled.
Nil use
25 Some providers reported nil use for the reference period in which they were selected. Nil use vehicles are registered vehicles that report no travel during that specific reference period. Nil use vehicles were included in the survey as their reported nil use is representative of other vehicles in the population. Vehicles may have nil use due to factors such as seasonal usage, mechanical faults or economic conditions. Where a provider gave a nil use response, a follow-up phone call was used to check the veracity of the response.
26 The survey methodology used for the Road Freight Movements Survey involved a one week collection period. The data collected was therefore more variable than usage data collected for a longer period such as the Survey of Motor Vehicle Use (SMVU) which uses a four month collection period. It was expected that the rate of nil use (and high use) for the Road Freight Movements Survey would be above the rate of nil use (and high use) for the SMVU.
27 The rate of nil use for Road Freight Movements was 16%, compared with 8% for the articulated and rigid trucks segment of the 2014 SMVU.

Q: Limit points of open and closed sets in Real Numbers . Q1)  Let A be an open set in real line R. (here we are using the standard metric).
Prove or disprove that every point of A is a limit point.
Q2) Similarly, B be a closed set in R  , with standard metric.
Prove or disprove that every point of B is a limit point.
I gave an answer as follows;
Since A is an open set in R, for each element in the set i can find an open ball which contains some different elements of A . So all element are should be limit points.*
For second question , i am thinking as same as above.
I just want to get some help, if i have any mistake. Thanks

A: You have answered Q1 youself. For Q2 consider the set $\{1,2\}$. Then $1$ is not a limit point of $\{1,2\}$. So the statement in Q2 is false.

A: You are right about Q1, but a counterexample to Q2 is the set with only one element $S=\{a\}$ ($a$ is the only element of $S$ and $a$ isn't a limit point of $S$).

SYLVIE DOUGLIS, BYLINE: NPR.
(SOUNDBITE OF DROP ELECTRIC SONG, "WAKING UP TO THE FIRE")
SALLY HERSHIPS, HOST:
Last week journalist Emma Hurt was at the IAA car show in Munich, Germany. And this was not just any car show.
EMMA HURT, HOST:
Not just any car show - one of the oldest car shows in the world, actually. Germany is a big deal in the car world, as we all know. We have Mercedes, BMW, Volkswagen. But Lutz Meyer, the conference spokesman, told me that this year was not your normal car show year.
So is this really a car show?
LUTZ MEYER: No, it's a mobility show.
HERSHIPS: A mobility show - like, moving around? Like, what (laughter) - like, are we getting mobile? Isn't that what you do at a car show (laughter)?
HURT: This is a very fair question, Sally. Basically, they were going for a complete rebrand here. And it's really a signal - I would venture to say maybe an indicator - of the kind of awkward moment that car companies are in right now. So even though they make most of their money from gas cars still, let's face it. Gas cars are not the future. So this year all the hottest new vehicles were electric, and some of the hottest new options at this car show were bikes.
HERSHIPS: Wait a second. Bikes, drivers and cyclists - they, like, famously hate each other.
HURT: But this year in Munich, I have to tell you the car industry is trying to heal the wounds. They invited those pesky bikers to their biggest party. This is THE INDICATOR FROM PLANET MONEY. I'm Emma Hurt.
HERSHIPS: And I'm Sally Herships, in for Stacey Vanek Smith. Today on the show, what we can learn about how we are going to move around in the future from a car show in Germany.
HURT: Or is it a car show?
HERSHIPS: While some of us may never have heard of this conference, it is a pretty big deal. Guess who was there?
UNIDENTIFIED PERSON: (Through interpreter) Dear ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany, Dr. Angela Merkel.
HURT: So this was actually one of Chancellor Merkel's last public appearances because she's about to retire. And through a translator, she kind of called the car industry out.
CHANCELLOR ANGELA MERKEL: (Through interpreter) Well, in the beginning, obviously, our German automotive industry used to be rather reluctant to fully embrace e-mobility.
HURT: Two conferences ago, she said it was tough to find electric vehicles that you could actually buy because they were in early development stages. Historically, the big stars of these car shows are your fast, powerful luxury cars burning gas. But fast-forward to this year, and it was really tough to find gasoline cars. Actually, some people looked a little offended when I would go around asking, do you have gas cars here? They were like, of course we don't have gas cars here.
HERSHIPS: But 95% of American car sales last year were gas or diesel. They are still cheaper, but the writing is on the wall thanks to the climate crisis. And these companies are under intense pressure to remake themselves.
HURT: And actually, it's not even just pressure, Sally. They are being forced to do this. The EU has said that no new combustion engine cars can be sold on the continent by 2035, and President Biden says that half of all new car sales by 2030 should be electric. So, yes, this brings us all back to the bikes. Lutz, the conference spokesman, says that inviting them to this car show makes sense.
MEYER: The car was invented in Germany and the bicycle and the electric motor. And now we are bringing it all together here in Munich.
HURT: And was there any pushback from your automotive members? You know, when you said, hey; this year, guys, we're going to invite the cycling industry, how did people react?
MEYER: Well, of course, it was news for the entire industry. But all our members, all the members of the German Automotive Association - we took this decision together because we wanted to present mobility in our way.
HERSHIPS: Beneath this rebranding decision also lies the cold, hard fact that in some parts of Europe, some cars will not be allowed on the street soon. So, for example, in Paris, the city hopes to ban most cars from the city center starting next year. And in Amsterdam, gas and diesel cars will not be allowed after 2030.
HURT: But guess what's still going to be allowed?
HERSHIPS: Bikes.
HURT: Exactly. And I have to tell you even though electric cars still get most of the headlines, the highest selling electric vehicle in Europe is actually - drumroll, please - the e-bike.
HERSHIPS: What?
HURT: And Deloitte has projected that that trend is going to go global soon. So you know what some car companies put on display at this car show were actually their own bikes. So they're just dipping their toes into the market right now, many of them by working in collaboration with bike companies. But, yes, at this car show, you could, in fact, test ride Porsche's line of e-bikes. BMW had a new e-trike on display right next to its fancy new electric vehicles. I wandered into the cycling section of the car show to talk to Hans Retzlaff about what it feels like to be the bike guy there. He works with a big German bicycle company, Kettler.
Does it feel like you are sort of, like, the stepchildren of this conference? Or do you feel like you are the newcomer coming in and everybody's a little afraid of you? You know what I mean?
HANS RETZLAFF: Well, there are two answers on this. There's two possibilities to answer. You can say they took us to get an alibi or we agreed we are getting green. But from our point of view, I think it's a chance to be here. We do everything to promote the bicycle because it's a green product and because the end user are ready to use it more and more.
HERSHIPS: So wait a second. I love me a good German accent. But is he saying that the car companies are bringing in the bike companies, like, as a form of greenwashing?
HURT: That's been an undercurrent of the conference, right? And that's the question. Are they just using the bike companies? But from his perspective, you know, either way, we are really excited to be here because we believe that our bikes are the future.
HERSHIPS: But if you look at the data, that totally makes sense. In Europe and here in the United States, too, e-bikes have had a real moment during the pandemic. In the last year, Americans spent - get ready for it - $681 million on e-bikes. And that number has more than doubled from just the year before. And as motors get smaller and battery ranges lengthen, they are honestly becoming a much more reliable mode of transportation.
HURT: There are some downsides - I mean, weather. Also, they're expensive still.
HERSHIPS: In any case, car companies are paying attention to all of this.
HURT: They're also paying attention to electric cargo bikes. So this is a thing I've seen a lot as I've been living in Berlin for the last month. I am always biking in bike lanes with people on e-cargo bikes. And I have seen people carrying multiple children. One time, I even saw someone with a desk on their bike.
HERSHIPS: That's so European.
HURT: Totally.
HERSHIPS: Bikes have been a thing in Europe for years, but the electric technology has evolved. And thanks to some government incentives, electric cargo bikes are becoming a realistic replacement for a car in places, of course, where there are good bike lanes and I'm assuming good weather - not a lot of melting, freezing, snow and rain.
HURT: Although some of the cargo bikes have cover for the kids, I will say. It's only the rider you have to worry about. But one German bike company at this show had something that might solve that problem. It was a concept vehicle that they said was a bike that had pedals. But it had four wheels and a cabin around it, and it looked suspiciously like a car.
HERSHIPS: Wait a second.
HURT: (Laughter).
HERSHIPS: This is getting a little - the lines in the road are getting a little blurry.
HURT: Totally. You have the car companies doing bikes, and the bike companies, like, maybe making a car. But Lutz, the car show spokesman, says maybe that's the future.
MEYER: The consumers will decide. Perhaps in five, 10 years from now, a traditional car company will be a full-service provider.
HERSHIPS: In the meantime, some consumers aren't buying the car industry's change of heart. Environmental activists have been protesting this car show for years.
HURT: And despite the mobility rebrand, they still did. Some 13,000 people showed up, and they actually blocked highways in Munich.
HERSHIPS: But as the car companies are trying to convince the world that they can turn their massive infrastructure and brands towards the future, their new conference neighbor frenemies, the cycling companies, are pedaling ahead.
HURT: Hans with Kettler, the bike company, says they can't make bikes fast enough to keep up with demand these days. And as he pointed out to me with a little bit of a smile, they don't have a brand problem like the car companies still do.

Hi Victoria, great to see you out and about….
What made you first walk through the doors on Commercial Street?
A good friend of mine convinced me to give it a go and genuinely - I've never looked back! I'll never forget my first ride - I had to have an emergency fruit pastel and a lie down before I could even change my shoes, but it wasn't long before my stamina increased. The community I've become a firm part of and the weekly hit of low impact cardio keeps me coming back.
Before coming to Go Revolution had you ever ventured to a spin class before?
No! I felt too intimidated but as soon as I came to my first class I realised it doesn't matter what clothes you wear, what age you are or what level of fitness you have... the classes are designed so that, although you get the benefit of a work out in a group dynamic, it is an individual work out that gives you the opportunity to work at your own pace and fitness level.
What are some things to know for those who have never been before?
Arrive a bit early so that you can familiarise yourself with the shoes (provided by Go Revolution), the bike and the space. Check out that resistance level, have a play around with the settings before the class and find your base level - it can be easy to get carried away during a class! Bring a bottle of water as you drink a lot... Don't forget to breathe and just have fun!
What do you want people to feel in your rides?
I try to be friendly but firm, inviting and informative, helpful yet holistic. Some people want to measure calories burned, miles per hour, kilometers ridden, sweat dripped, noises made but having recently made the move from Go client to Go instructor and becoming a fully qualified trainer, I really want to focus on helping beginners find their mojo.
Do you have a standout Go Revolution moment so far?
My 40th birthday! I immediately felt like part of a community when i walked through the doors at Go Revolution so what better way to celebrate than with a themed ride!
If you've never been to a class before, don't panic! It's such a fun work out and it really does work.... as a busy mum of three I really needed cardio to add to my weekly work out and Go Revolution was the perfect solution, low impact cardio in a super friendly studio.
Who said you can't ride with one leg?


From the moment the itinerary was set for the NQ Football U19 European Tour you could tell it was going to be an unforgettable experience for everyone involved.
To experience football at the biggest clubs in the world in three different countries is something that anyone who has the opportunity to do must do.
Everyday of the 17-day tour was packed with training, games, stadium tours, Premier League matches in each country and sightseeing in some of the most beautiful cities and cultures in the world.
The highlight for everyone was to get a double dose of FC Barcelona by seeing a Champions League game at Camp Nou and then playing against Barcelona's academy side in the club's new training facilities. That, in itself, was an experience to behold.
The tour was so professionally run by Red Lion Football Tours and Complete Sports Solutions the tour party only needed to take in all the attractions on offer and enjoy this once-in-a-lifetime experience of world-class football.
I'm a former professional goalkeeper who played in the UK for 13 years (1988-2001) with teams including Everton, Crewe Alexandra, Stoke City, Blackpool and Notts County.
I have been fortunate enough to be involved with Red Lion Football's UK goalkeeper tours since their inception in 2007. The 2011 tour will be my fourth trip back and apart from the actual flights (those who have done the trip will know what I mean) I can't recommend this tour highly enough.
I have been involved in the game as a player or goalkeeper coach now for the best part of 36 years and I still come back from each tour learning new skills and information from the coaches the kids are training with.
Believe me, this tour is even better than it looks on your computer screen. Not only will your child experience a knowledgeable trip football-wise, they will also develop new life skills, which a trip to the other side of the world will bring.
So start saving up now and I look forward to seeing you on a future tour.
I have attended a Red Lion Football Tour to the UK and can recommend their professionalism to anyone looking for the "real deal" in a football tour.
Red Lion Football tours helped me access some of the largest clubs in the UK – clubs like Chelsea, Fulham, Liverpool, Everton and Manchester City – so I could look at their academy set ups and structures. The guys at Red Lion helped me immensely with their extensive network of clubs and contacts.
If you are looking for a football specific tour run by football people, Red Lion Football are the only people I would recommend for the full experience.
We had an amazing time from start to finish and I cant thank the Red Lion staff enough for their attention to detail and nothing was too much trouble. The live games were fantastic and our players will remember this experience for the rest of their lives.
We cant wait to do it all again, and there is only one company we will use Red Lion!

How do you say Arun in French?
What does Ja Ma PEL mean in French?
Is Mon nom est correct?
What comes after Je M Appelle?
Use the basic je m'appelle (zhuh mah-pehl) in most situations. This is the standard way to say "my name is" in French, and is appropriate in any occasion.
Speaking informally, you can simply ask "Comment t'appelles-tu?" The literal translation of the question "What's your name?" in French is "How do you call yourself?" What sounds like an unnecessary double reference to you/yourself comes from the use of a reflexive verb.
2) The most formal way
"Mon nom est…", pronounced "mohn nohm ay", literally means "my name is…". This expression is not as used as "Je m'appelle…".
Method 1'Je M'appelle' or 'I Call Myself'
je = zhuh.
m'appelle = mah-pehll.
Translation of "je suis" in English. Noun Adverb Other. I am. I was. I have.
"what's your name?" in French
comment vous appelez-vous ?
"Arun" translation into French
a nun. abrin. acus. aeon.
Translation of "je m'appelle" in English. Adverb. my name is. my name's the name is. my real name is.
IMPORTANT: How do I dial EDF from UK to France?
This one is the literal translation of My name is, and while it's not grammatically incorrect, it's better to use "Je m'appelle".
Saying your name: Je m'appelle, Tu t'appelles, Vous vous appelez.


I was sent a note on this terrific infographic baecause I was on a list of the top Architectural Blogs(no doubt in the landscape section). The infograph is really well done and everyone knows my love for architecture and the relationship architecture has with landscape design-the need to co-exist, though not so much when we get to the really tall buildings.
Though we are seeing the strong trend to build more environmentally sound, eco-friendly, and more green than ever. Besides that every good piece of architecture should have a great foundation around it. The place mat – so to speak. Not just some wilted garnish thrown around the base.
The buildings get higher and higher, let's hope they can; to a degree, get greener and greener. Though I know we are talking about some abusive logistics for plant material when we get up into rarified air. That's where the atriums, lobbies, entries, foundations, and park settings around these great buildings become even more important to our physical and mental well-being. The interest continues in high how we go.
Or am I wrong? Are those humans that spend their whole lives in large city environments completely out of touch with the natural world. The closest brush with nature they have is picking up a head of lettuce at their local grocer. I sure hope not.
*I added the building images of the skyscrapers and the pictures at the end of the article. Everything below-the infographic the additional building info, originates from the page. Link to web-page is at bottom of article.
*** I'm an Ohio guy so I thought I'd throw in the Key Tower here at the end and a pic of my favorite piece of architecture in the World.


In her book, Becoming Yourself: The Journey From Head to Heart, author Jan Engels-Smith shows you how to incorporate the creative heart and soul powers into the process of Western rational thought of self-analysis. The results are a journey towards complete self-awareness – one that ultimately integrates the total self – mind, heart and soul.
Revised and expanded for 2014!
I n her book, Becoming Yourself: The Journey From Head to Heart, author Jan Engels-Smith shows you how to incorporate the creative heart and soul powers into the process of Western rational thought of self-analysis. The results are a journey towards complete self-awareness – one that ultimately integrates the total self – mind, heart and soul.
While a number of books address the individual's need to connect with one's spiritual nature, Becoming Yourself shows how to connect to it and to use this energy to restore wholeness. Jan's book conveys spiritual lessons through personal accounts and offers proven healing methodologies and exercises based on her decades of experience as a science teacher, counselor and shamanic practitioner. Jan seeks to intertwine physical, emotional and mental concepts and convey them with warmth and support. This creates a powerful, practical and comprehensive guide that enlightens and inspires readers on all levels of the spiritual quest for self.
While working as both a licensed professional counselor and a shamanic healer, Jan has found that people are eager to learn; they want to heal. The continual cycle of unhappiness takes its toll, moving people to look for a better way. They are tired of the pain and victimization, and they are interested in having more power in their lives. We have a society crying out for change and for spiritual connection. Our culture reflects a climate of more openness to spiritual topics. Spiritual growth has never been easy, but we are in a good position for this growth right now.
This chapter outlines and defines a belief system that is empowering and fosters the connection between Spirit and self. This chapter lists eight Universal Truths that the author has learned and formulates them into specific statements. These truths are the basis and foundation, not only for this book, but also for an enlightened perspective of life. They preface what you can expect to achieve in terms of enlightenment as a result of reading Becoming Yourself.
This chapter opens with an account of the author's own initial experience by having a vision and contact with the spirit world. Confusion and curiosity regarding the encounter prompted Jan to become more mentally and emotionally open to the meaning of her vision and to potential lessons it shared. Through two years of supposed disappointments in seeking answers to the vision, unable to find adequate resources, meaning began to unfold through serendipitous accounts of spiritual interventions. After a move cross country, Jan was connected to a woman who channeled the author's guardian spirits. The information received about her vision from two years earlier and her life's purpose transformed her way of thinking and her life.
This chapter defines the cultural belief system of shamanism and its approach and purpose in soul healing. Once a "lost" soul is retrieved and/or cared for properly, healing of the mind, body and emotional state will manifest as a result. What is soul loss? What are the warning signs someone has experienced it? Who is at risk for soul loss and how does the retrieval process happen? These are only a few of the questions that get addressed in this chapter.
The terms life experiences, choice, karma and unconditional love are all part of the same whole and must be understood holistically. This chapter illustrates how combined, these terms explain the wonder of life. Life experience is defined as the physical realm in which we live and interpret emotions. Jan explains how each lifetime experience is a chosen set of circumstances that ultimately contribute to the unfolding of an individual's soul.
These laws apply to all of life and are fundamental in understanding how to work with energy in order to create. Healing, both of self and others, is possible by developing skills in working with these laws. The author explains these laws in an easy to understand approach and diagrams them for reader- friendly appeal. This chapter is inspiring and welcoming; it serves to give confidence in self and to be able to start manifesting positive changes in life. By the end of the chapter you know what the laws are and can apply them to any personal circumstance.
Belief systems are the core for all manifestations. What you believe about yourself, about God, about money determines the outcome of your life. Jan outlines over 20 common belief systems that have been tabulated from her extensive psychology work with clients. Readers are encouraged to engage in an exercise that enables them to scrutinize their own belief system. Outlines of thoughts around God and money are given as examples to help illustrate the nature of limiting beliefs and how to replace those beliefs with more positive ones that help clear a path toward fulfillment. Surveys gathered by the author indicate the activities in this chapter are a favorite among readers.
Energy fields surround all things. This chapter explains how these magnetically charged forces affect all life through laws of attraction and how readers can learn to use the energy to better manage their life. The author uses stories to explain these ruling forces of nature. She teaches you to be aware and open to these forces. As with most of the laws of nature, these laws are always in motion. Jan explains that they are working regardless of awareness about them. When people learn about these laws, they have the capacity to make the laws work for them because in ignorance, or negative thinking, they often work against people.
The collective consciousness follows the same laws of energy that were explained in earlier chapters; however, you now have a larger perspective of how this energy works. We often create a thought form around us that acts like a filter and alters perception. This thought form also pulls energy to it to reinforce it. This chapter starts joining together components from former chapters. Change individual thinking–change the world. Whatever we add energy to multiplies. All thoughts are energy. Energy attracts similar energy. When enough people think the same thoughts, this energy accumulates and creates a collective consciousness. This collective consciousness affects individuals, in turn, they respond from it.
For readers wanting the tangible 'how-to-s' of making positive, lasting life changes, this chapter is full of ideas. Jan takes years of motivational technique experience, psychology approach and teaching wisdom and captures you in this practical, fun, motivating chapter. The techniques and skills of visualization, affirmation, mantras and thought monitoring are explained step-by-step. There are also plenty of examples and thought stimulating references for readers to draw from. The chapter gives you a reflective worksheet in problem solving to complete. Surveys from readers indicate that the act of encouraged contemplation coupled with the outline of specific hands-on techniques makes this chapter a clear example of the value and resource of Becoming Yourself. Jan also pulls spiritual concepts back into this chapter creating a greater connection for you.
What exactly is prayer and how does it work towards creating meaningful change? Jan explores the importance of prayer and why it works. This chapter provides readers with seven concrete and realistic ways of incorporating prayer to fit into anyone's lifestyle. The author guides you through a series of questions about prayer to ponder. Answers to these questions enable readers to discover for themselves the role and nature of prayer in an individual's life and inspire the enthusiasm and willingness to get started.
This chapter is designed to guide readers towards the belief that spiritual connection is available to anyone. Moreover, that the connection can happen by applying previously presented concepts. Jan defines and diagrams the process of faith building and shares with readers the outcomes to be achieved as a result. Working with energy to achieve a specific reality, based on committed belief consists of love, intention, willingness and mystery. An example story of faith is shared about the author's ability to walk on fire as a way to illustrate the combination and manifestation of these concepts. Jan reinforces the importance of trust in the healing and self-discovery process and as part of the capacity to create powerful, positive change, even if our experiences are mysterious and unexplainable.
The nature of ritual is that is supports change. Rituals are performed to make something happen, to invoke spiritual power, or to identify something as sacred. They are designed to transcend the linear mind, stimulate the senses, and open the subconscious to inner work, inner change and transformation. Jan explores why rituals and ceremonies carry so much power and the importance of including them in everyday life. Jan reviews basic rituals and ceremonies to make them more familiar to people and then expands into ancient ceremonies, such as sweat lodges, that are still performed today. These ceremonies have a clear intention to bring healing and well-being to those who participate in them.
The spiritual path is one of transition, movement, and change. As Jan explains, it also a path of commitment and patience. This chapter's message reiterates the work involved and the rewards that come from the quest for spiritual enlightenment. The author offers reassurance that the path is no different for spiritual masters or lay people–we all follow the same process and approach.
According to the author negative energy is one of the most powerful influences in life. Negative energy is what prevents us from closer self-examination. An important step in enlightenment is to understand negative energy and to conquer the fear that feeds it. Based on accounts of the author's own healing, psychological and soul retrieval work, the role and manifestation of negative energy is described. Jan discusses the role of spirit helpers in overcoming negative energy and that they protect and love us when we let them. The chapter emphasizes the importance of self-examination and the scrutiny of belief systems when dealing with negative energies on any level.
As the author conveys, one of the most effective ways to make contact with spirits is through the shamanic journey. Jan explains in easy to follow terms and examples: the magic, mystery and method of this ancient practice. You learn what a shamanic journey is and how to do it on your own. A thorough and step-by-step "how-to" method for making contact with spiritual helpers is designed. Although the method is tradition, Jan combines it with years of teaching experience to incorporate proven techniques into the shamanic approach. Jan has had amazing success in teaching journey work using the same approach.
Jan realizes that in any spiritual practice, a focused mind is necessary. She explains in a very unique way the importance of meditation, the benefits of meditation, and how to gain and hold visual and auditory focus by using a designated process. Readers are encouraged to be patient and committed to the process of effective meditation.
Life is a journey of becoming. Jan merges and concludes all the ideas, suggestions and affirmations in this upbeat, encouraging chapter. For those interested in enlightenment, they must seek healing and must create change. The process of getting closer to who we really are begins by looking at what we believe and why we believe it. The final chapter summarizes the book in 22 clear and memorable words of advice that are easy to follow statements. Jan highlights that choice is up to all of us and that it is within each reader's capacity to be happy, fulfilled, enlightened and part of the amazing journey of becoming ourselves.

Today we remember FF Timothy Welty, Squad 288, FDNY.
Tim Welty's true trade was in the physical world. A strong, wiry man who could do push-ups with two fingers, he skied, sky-dived and motorcycled, and he played hockey and volleyball for the Fire Department.
In 1993, Timmy got the call to attend NY firefighter training. His first assignment was Engine Company 233, aka "The Tin House".
During his years at Engine 233, Welty gained a reputation as a fearless and single-minded firefighter, who would let nothing and no one stand in his way to fight a fire. This reputation earned him a spot in the new FDNY "Squad" Companies, which were created after the 1993 World Trade Center attacks as elite specially trained firefighting companies.
Welty moved to Squad 288 in Maspeth, Queens, in 1998 as one of its original members. He was known around the firehouse as "MacGyver" because of his ability to make something out of nothing, and was infamous for yelling during fires, "If you're not going in, get out of the way!" to anyone in front of him.
On September 11, Timothy Welty had finished his 12-hour shift at FDNY Squad 288 in Queens. The sight was visible from the firehouse. Welty called his wife to say he would not be home in time to bring their son to school, donned his turnout gear and jumped on the back of the Hazmat truck as it pulled out.
After the towers came down, nobody knew where Tim was. They believed he had already gone home. His mother was always nervous about him being in the fire department. He always told her to stop worrying, that if anything happened she would be notified. But after 9/11, she was not notified. Tim was officially listed as missing, and like so many other families, she hoped that he had somehow escaped the terror attack. When November came and Tim still was missing, his family knew the time had come to say goodbye.
The duty board for the day at Squad 288 is still preserved in a small memorial inside the firehouse, and shows his name scrawled in chalk.

Why Is It Important to Wear Sunscreen on a Cloudy Day?
Wearing sunscreen on a cloudy day is just as important as wearing it on a sunny day. The sun's rays usually are a sign to most people that the skin needs protection from a sunburn, however, on cloudy days, UV rays may be just as prevalent, even if the sun is not visible.
According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), nearly half of UV radiation is between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m, and even on a cloudy day, you may get sunburned by UV rays.
Dr. Devgan's recommendation to prevent sunburn and premature aging is to use a medical-grade sunscreen with an SPF of 45. Dr. Devgan's skincare line, Scientific Beauty, includes a Daily Tinted BB Cream with an SPF of 45. This lightweight formula moisturizes, evens skin tone, and uses the market's most effective photostabilizer to significantly enhance broad spectrum sunscreen protection against UVA and UVB rays linked to sunburn and premature aging.

Don't take this the wrong way, but what kind of stupid was it for Gov. Phil Murphy to sign a group of new gun-control bills into law? It's stupid to think that several pieces of paper will deter criminals from using firearms in crimes. There is no such thing as a lawful criminal.
The only people hurt by draconian gun bills are the people the legislation's supporters want to help. As a professional security officer for more than 20 years, I can tell you that criminals are going to do whatever they can to get away with to break the law.
Do I like this law? No, but it is a law. Should it be amended? Yes!
There are gun several bills that I would support and those that I oppose not just because I am a Republican, but because they are wrong. I know that Democrats like Murphy must push for stricter gun laws as a party position. But why does it seem that the government is afraid of its armed citizens? Could it be that the government is doing things that citizens are opposed to?
Editor's note: The bills Murphy signed last week reduce legal magazine capacity to 10 rounds, ban armor-piercing bullets, extend mandatory background checks to private gun sales, and further restrict handgun permits.
I was under the impression that when vehicles approached stop signs and red traffic lights, they were supposed to stop.
I have seen more and more vehicles go through intersections with red traffic signals. Many cars never come to a full stop when approaching a stop sign. These drivers put others at risk, and can cause accidents.
What's their excuse? Are they in a hurry to get somewhere? As long as they can get away with running stop signs and driving through red traffic lights, bad drivers will continue to disobey traffic laws.

Nelson Native Earl Hamner Receives Lifetime Achievement Award
[ 0 ] October 15, 2011 | Nelson County Life
Photos By Woody Greenberg : ©2011 www.nelsoncountylife.com : Earl Hamner, Jr. (second from left) chats it up this past Friday night at a reception in Richmond with David Pounds (left) and Scott Lucas, owners of Waltons Mountain B&B in Schuyler, and longtime friend Judy Greenberg of Nelson County, Virginia.
A little over 88 years ago, Earl Hamner of Nelson County was born in Schuyler. Since then the man has accomplished a lifetime of work seen all over the world. Saturday October 15th, Earl will received a Literary Lifetime Achievement Award from the Library of Virginia for his work.
Hamner grew up in Schuyler, Virginia, with seven brothers and sisters. From an early age he exhibited a love of words and writing. When he was six his poem, "My Dog" was published on the Children's Page of the Richmond Times-Dispatch. His potential was recognized and he received encouragement from his teachers and members of
the tight-knit community.

Hamner received a scholarship to the University of Richmond, but midway through his sophomore year Hamner was drafted. He spent time learning to drive tanks and defuse mines, but his ability to type landed him in the Quartermaster Corps. While in the U.S. Army Hamner began to submit stories for publication.
After his discharge in March 1946 he returned to Richmond and briefly worked for local radio station WMBG. In the fall of 1946 Hamner enrolled in the school of broadcasting at the University of Cincinnati and graduated in 1948.
Shortly after graduation Hamner went to New York City and found work as a radio writer for NBC. His first book, Fifty Roads to Town, was published by Random House in 1953 and in 1961 his novel Spencer's Mountain was published by Dial Press. He began writing scripts for episodes of the Twilight Zone and CBS Playhouse. The film rights to Spencer's Mountain were purchased by Warner Bros. and Hamner was on his way as a success in Hollywood. In 1970 The Homecoming was published by Random House and became a CBS special starring Patricia Neal and later was the basis of the long-running and hugely popular television series The Waltons. Hamner garnered additional fame as a writer for Falcon Crest, a prime time soap opera, which aired on CBS from 1981 to 1990.
