She may have done the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs, whatever Han Solo thought that meant. But as of October 1, the Millennium Falcon will have broken a more tangible real-world record: largest LEGO set ever.
The previous version of the LEGO Falcon -- the "ultimate collector's edition" -- consisted of a mere (!) 5195 pieces. That put it 727 pieces behind the Taj Mahal, the world's largest LEGO set until now.
SEE ALSO: BB-8 finally gets the Lego kit it deserves
But the new ultimate collector's Falcon has made some special modifications. It now has a whopping 7,541 bricks -- take that, Taj Mahal! -- and will set you back $800 when it exits hyperspace and enters stores in a month's time. (You can pre-order here(Opens in a new tab).)
That may seem a little pricy (you could almost buy a ship for that price, but who's going to fly it, kid, you?). However considering the previous model sold out and was going for upwards of $6,000 on eBay, this could actually be a pretty sound investment.
In any case, what you get for your hard-earned credits is two Millennium Falcons in one.
As you can see from the LEGO designer video above, the ship can be converted from the version seen in The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi to the original trilogy version by swapping out the radar dish and a couple of front pieces.
SEE ALSO: Sphero's awesome R2-D2 robot does the one thing no other's done before
The new collector's edition comes with LEGO figures from both The Empire Strikes Back and The Force Awakens -- and what the designers call a "little romantic corner" so you can act out all the Leia-Han and Rey-Finn scenes you desire.
There are also a couple of Porg figures from The Last Jedi, presumably provided so the Chewbacca figure can chow down on them.
If you can track down one of the new record-breaking Falcons before it flies off shelves, you'll be getting a box so large it apparently comes with wheels.
A box like that, however, is certainly not going to allow you to avoid any Imperial entanglements. Good luck getting past the Toys R Us blockade with no questions asked.

Abstract: In January 2005 the German Supreme Court permitted the state governments to charge tuition fees. By exploiting the natural experiment, we examine how government ideology influenced the introduction of tuition fees. The results show that rightwing governments were active in introducing tuition fees. By contrast, leftwing governments strictly denied tuition fees. This pattern shows clear political alternatives in education policy across the German states: the political left classifies tuition fees as socially unjust; the political right believes that tuition fees are incentive compatible. By the end of 2014, however, there will be no tuition fees anymore: the political left won four state elections and abolished tuition fees. In Bavaria the rightwing government also decided to abolish tuition fees because it feared to become elected out of office by adhering to tuition fees. Electoral motives thus explain convergence in tuition fee policy.

Perspectives With Kevin Collins, VP of Business Development, CP Industries
By Robin Skibicki, Marketing Coordinator, NGVi
For over a century, CP Industries has manufactured and produced large, seamless pressure vessels. In the fall of 1897, the company was founded as U.S. Seamless Tube Works. The plant, called Christy Park Works, began manufacturing seamless steel tubing and small compressed gas cylinders in the spring of 1898. In 1911, the company produced the first heat-treated air flasks for submarines. During WWI, the facility operated as a multi-purpose plant serving the armed forces with shell forgings and torpedo tubes.
From 1920 through 1940, Christy Park Works continued to pioneer work in the development of technology utilizing cylinders for the storage and transportation of compressed gasses. In the mid-1980's, the company was sold to Stanwich Partners and renamed CP Industries. At that time, 60% of the business was comprised of military projects, with few international sales. In 2008, CPI was sold to Everest Kanto Cylinder Ltd (EKC) with operations in Dubai, China and India.
NGVi had the opportunity to speak with CP Industries' VP of Business Development, Kevin Collins, about their involvement in the natural gas vehicle market.
When did your company begin manufacturing storage vessels for compressed
natural gas (CNG), and what vessel sizes do you offer?
CPI was on the forefront in offering products for storing and transporting CNG. As far back as the 1970's, CPI provided trailers and ground storage to New Zealand. Our website www.cp-industries.com lists some of the sizes, pressures and specifications that we design and manufacture to. It's important to realize that CPI vessels are customized to meet the requirements of our customers, and vary in operating pressures, wall thickness, length and outside diameter (OD).
Can you explain your applied manufacturing process, and which processes are
used for your CNG products?
CPI spin forms large, OD seamless pipe. The vessels are heat treated to attain specific properties and machined, cleaned, assembled and tested. The following video depicts our manufacturing processes: https://youtu.be/Wl_HGiaE4o0
What are the testing methods for your CNG storage vessels?
CPI vessels undergo strenuous testing to pass the requirements of the ASME, DOT, ISO/UN, ANSI NGV 2, and FMVSS304 specifications. It is important to mention that CPI ASME ground storage vessels must pass a final ultrasonic test to a 5% notch criteria. This test is not required by the ASME code but is performed by CPI to assure safe CNG storage. Tests are monitored and approved by third party inspection agencies.
Which manufacturing standards do you design in accordance to, and which
third party approvals have you received?
For transportation, our tubes are manufactured in accordance with DOT and ISO 11120. Our ground storage vessels are manufactured to meet ASME Section VIII Division 1. The cylinders for on-board storage are certified to ANSI NGV2-2007 and are compliant to FMVSS-304. Our approvals include TPED, KGSC, China SELO, DNV, PED and Canada.
CPI makes ASME Section VIII Division 1 pressure vessels. Please share with
us the primary differences between your vessels and ASME Section VIII
Division 2 pressure vessels offered by your competition?
Division 1 is the most commonly used division and contains rules for the basic design of unfired pressure vessels. Division 2 contains alternative rules for the design of more complicated or specialized vessel designs. Division 2 vessels require that the vessels be designed for a specific usage and for a specific installation. Further, the usage of Division 2 vessels must be monitored following installation. There is also a Division 3, which contains rules specific to the design of vessels for pressures above 10,000 psi.
Are your manufacturing plants eco-friendly?
CPI monitors our water outtakes and air quality constantly and are in full compliance. We have also operated CNG fueled forklifts since the 1970's.
How has the demand for natural gas vehicles and fueling shaped your company's production? Has it changed its priorities?
CPI has been innovative in bringing new designs for the storage and transportation of CNG. We introduced a longer ASME vessel that is capable of storing more CNG than a "traditional" three pack. The dollar value per standard cubic foot (SCF) of CNG stored is significantly lowered. We have also introduced larger 24" OD ASME vessels that reduces the space required for CNG storage at NGV stations. In addition, CPI manufactures a line of Type IV composite cylinders for on-board storage applications. These cylinders are ideal for use on passenger and commercial vehicles in the heavy-duty, medium-duty and light-duty markets.
Why should natural gas fueling customers choose CP Industries? What are your competitive advantages?
CP Industries is well known in the high-pressure storage market as manufacturers of high-quality products, offering flexible and expandable design options. We are well positioned in the Industrial Gases and Alternative Fuels marketplace given our vast industry knowledge and technical expertise. We've established market channels worldwide through our parent company, EKC. Operating as a LEAN manufacturing facility, productivity is high and our lead times and delivery are timely and consistent.

Q: Mapping -Arrows to selecting characters/lines I started to use vim recently, but I miss the character/line selection methods from other text editors. By default vim maps <S-Up>, <S-Down> to jumping one page up/down and I want to remap these to text selection.
Is there a way to do that?

A: I completed @escrafford mapping with insert mode's ones:
" shift+arrow selection
nmap <S-Up> v<Up>
nmap <S-Down> v<Down>
nmap <S-Left> v<Left>
nmap <S-Right> v<Right>
vmap <S-Up> <Up>
vmap <S-Down> <Down>
vmap <S-Left> <Left>
vmap <S-Right> <Right>
imap <S-Up> <Esc>v<Up>
imap <S-Down> <Esc>v<Down>
imap <S-Left> <Esc>v<Left>
imap <S-Right> <Esc>v<Right>

Also mapping usual copy/cut/paste like this you can return to insert mode after select+copy, for example.
vmap <C-c> y<Esc>i
vmap <C-x> d<Esc>i
map <C-v> pi
imap <C-v> <Esc>pi
imap <C-z> <Esc>ui

Now you can start a shift+arrow selection from any mode, then C-c to copy, and then C-v to paste. You always end in insert mode, so you have also C-z to undo.
I think this approaches more to the 'expected standard' behaviour for a text editor yu are asking for.

A: I found another solution that is easier to execute. The command ':behave mswin' does all that is needed to use shift plus cursor keys to select text. Works from any mode. It also supports Cmd-c, Cmd-v and Cmd-x. It works in MacVim but I did not try other platforms.

A: There's an specific option for this: keymodel:
'keymodel' 'km'     string  (default "")
            global
            {not in Vi}
    List of comma separated words, which enable special things that keys
    can do.  These values can be used:
       startsel Using a shifted special key starts selection (either
            Select mode or Visual mode, depending on "key" being
            present in 'selectmode').
       stopsel  Using a not-shifted special key stops selection.
    Special keys in this context are the cursor keys, <End>, <Home>,
    <PageUp> and <PageDown>.
    The 'keymodel' option is set by the |:behave| command.

TL;DR: To enable the behavior you want, use:
set keymodel=startsel

If you also want to leave visual mode when using <Up> or <Down> without <Shift> pressed, you can use:
set keymodel=startsel,stopsel

A: Slightly different from progo's answer - this gives the same feel as mac apps normally have:
nmap <S-Up> v<Up>
nmap <S-Down> v<Down>
nmap <S-Left> v<Left>
nmap <S-Right> v<Right>
vmap <S-Up> <Up>
vmap <S-Down> <Down>
vmap <S-Left> <Left>
vmap <S-Right> <Right>

The differences being switch to visual mode instead of visual line mode, and not losing the initial up/down etc keystroke.

A: Vim doesn't bend to that easily in my opinion. The terminal one doesn't even recognize Shift-Up in my case! I thought the v (character-wise selection) or V (line-wise selection) was among the easier concepts to learn about vi/vim.
If this works (can't test right now), this is something you'll want:
" activate visual mode in normal mode
nmap <S-Up> V
nmap <S-Down> V
" these are mapped in visual mode
vmap <S-Up> k
vmap <S-Down> j
"
" etc...
" similarly <S-Left>, <S-Right> for v

A: It is definitely recommended that you don't remap this feature. Simply switching to visual mode and using v and the arrow keys is a better idea. V will select the entire line, v$ will select to the end of the line and vw will select the next word. There are many more commands you can use to select different lines and words. Learning these commands will not only be useful for selecting but also useful for editing your files more efficiently.

A: This mapping keeps insert mode during selection (visual mode) and it starts on the correct position. You can also select a word to the left or right using Ctrl-Shift-Left/Right (if your terminal supports it):
" Select with shift + arrows
inoremap    <S-Left>              <Left><C-o>v
inoremap    <S-Right>             <C-o>v
inoremap    <S-Up>                <Left><C-o>v<Up><Right>
inoremap    <S-Down>              <C-o>v<Down><Left>
imap        <C-S-Left>            <S-Left><C-Left>
imap        <C-S-Right>           <S-Right><C-Right>
vnoremap    <S-Left>              <Left>
vnoremap    <S-Right>             <Right>
vnoremap    <S-Up>                <Up>
vnoremap    <S-Down>              <Down>

" Auto unselect when not holding shift
vmap        <Left>                <Esc>
vmap        <Right>               <Esc><Right>
vmap        <Up>                  <Esc><Up>
vmap        <Down>                <Esc><Down>

This may be useful for quickly selecting small parts when you're in insert mode but I recommend using the default commands for selecting larger parts.

A: I've written this to be able to navigate using Alt+hjkl (and friends) and select using Alt+HJLK when both in insert, visual and normal mode.
So the same can be applied to normal arrow keys as well
let hjklfriends = ['h','j','k','l','w','e','b','W','E','B', 'n', 'N', 'y', 'Y', 'p', 'P']

" define if using alt (it works in neovim) or Escape key.
function! Meta(key)
  if has('nvim')
        return "<A-" . a:key . ">"
    else
        return "<Esc>" . a:key
    endif
endfunction

execute 'noremap! ' . Meta('h') . ' <left>'
execute 'noremap! ' . Meta('j') . ' <down>'
execute 'noremap! ' . Meta('k') . ' <up>'
execute 'noremap! ' . Meta('l') . ' <right>'
execute 'noremap! ' . Meta('b') . ' <C-Left>'
execute 'noremap! ' . Meta('w') . ' <C-Right>'
execute 'noremap! ' . Meta('e') . ' <C-Right>'

for k in hjklfriends
  execute 'imap ' . Meta(k) . ' <C-o>' . k

  if k =~ '[a-z]'
    execute 'imap ' . Meta(toupper(k)) . ' <C-o>v' . k
    execute 'vmap ' . Meta(toupper(k)) . ' ' . k
    execute 'nmap ' . Meta(toupper(k)) . ' v' . k
  endif
endfor

A: Modified from @RubenCaro's answer.
The issue is: when escaping from insert mode, the cursor will be shifted to the left by one. This makes the behaviour of the keys , , and  in insert mode different from the behaviour of other generic text editors.
Assuming that the goal is to make those keys behave like generic editor, the mapping should be slightly modified to:
" shift+arrow selection
nmap <S-Up> v<Up>
nmap <S-Down> v<Down>
nmap <S-Left> v<Left>
nmap <S-Right> v<Right>
vmap <S-Up> <Up>
vmap <S-Down> <Down>
vmap <S-Left> <Left>
vmap <S-Right> <Right>
imap <S-Up> <Esc>v<Up>
imap <S-Down> <Esc>vlvv<Down>
imap <S-Left> <Esc>v<Left>
imap <S-Right> <Esc>vlvv<Right>

vmap <C-c> y<Esc>i
vmap <C-x> d<Esc>i
map <C-v> pi
imap <C-v> <Esc>pli
imap <C-z> <Esc>ui

Community at Heart of Candace Cullen's Senior Speech
April 29, 2016 Beau Brockett Jr. Community, Features, Headline 0
Photo by Beau Brockett Jr.
When the class of 2016's senior speaker application deadline was extended, Grand Rapids Mich., native Candace Cullens had her friends urging her to apply. She was hesitant at first, but the "bugs" her friends had placed in her ear eventually got the best of her. She filled out the paperwork, wrote her speech and auditioned in front of a board of three staff members and five students.
Now, to her surprise, she will be giving her speech at this year's commencement ceremony.
Cullens wanted the speech to center around her fellow classmates and everything they went through. "It's weird to put four years into a five minute speech and put an umbrella over the big things that we've done," said Cullens. Eight semesters of accomplishments, strides, obstacles, college developments and community work all had to be condensed down into five minutes passing.
Cullens' time at Albion has been as busy as her graduating class'. With a psychology major, human services concentration and a minor in Spanish, she founded, developed and lead the College-run mentoring program at Albion's public school. She also ran the Peer Educators program on campus while balancing her time with Kappa Alpha Theta and Gamma Sigma Alpha, the Greek honorary fraternity.
While all of these experiences at Albion are reflected in her speech, it was her time working with the community and children that was most impactful. Connections between college and community like the peer mentoring program were not only important to her but to her class as well. Looking back from her freshman year in 2012 to now, the college and community connection has grown tremendously. Now, she can't imagine Albion College without the city. "I think that's a big piece," said Cullens, "making those connections and strengthening the bonds with each other at the college and taking that outward."
As Cullens speaks to her class on May 7, she has many inspirational people to look back upon. She has her mother to thank as well as Pam Schuler, associate director of service and leadership, for her advice and assistance with the mentoring program. Before she pursues a master's in social work at the University of Michigan in the fall, however, Cullens' first plans are to take some well-deserved time to relax after graduation.

Is there a time limit on bringing a lawsuit?
South Carolina has a variety of different statutes of limitation depending on the kind of case you have. Most cases have a 3-year statute of limitations, but you should always seek legal advice as to the specific statute of limitations applicable to your specific case. Generally, claims which involve the government are subject to special rules, including a different, and usually shorter, statute of limitations. If you believe the government may be involved in your case, please notify us immediately.


Like the Google Play Referrer, Google Advertising ID is an extremely accurate identifier. This unique and anonymous device ID is used, among other things, to measure Android installs (for both Google Play and Android out of store). The main issue however is that it's not always available: to be passed in a click or view, Google Advertising ID requires configuration on the ad network side; it can also be disabled by the user to prevent any profiling and the delivery of personalized ads, although very few actually change this default setting; lastly, it does not work on the mobile web.
IDFA is Apple's highly accurate and privacy-sensitive device identifier. This method is similar to Google Advertising ID in that it provides a unique identifier for a device/user to attribute, or track, installs through the App Store. IDFA has two key features: It can be reset by the user at any time and users can opt out of profiling and personalized ads by enabling a device setting called, "Limit Ad Tracking." IDFA replaced UDID which could not be changed by either the user or Apple.

``I am deeply troubled by the Afilias proposal. It represents a systematic attempt to take the .Web domain name from Image Online Design, and undermine the exhaustive work and significant investment made by the company over the last four years.
Image Online Design has operated the .Web registry since 1996. We have a long-standing track record of running one of the most sophisticated pioneer registries in the world. Our application for the .Web domain name is the culmination of over four years of hard work. Our efforts have produced a registry that manages almost 20,000 .Web registrations - and spans 98 countries worldwide.
Afilias knows we have run the .Web registry for the last four years. They know we are the only registry that has the technical expertise to successfully manage it. They know that our proposal meets all the major criteria laid out by ICANN to be selected as a Top Level Domain. So why are they hell-bent on trying to take the .Web name away from Image Online Design - especially when they have applied for two other domain names?
By applying for the .Web name, Afilias is making a mockery of the ICANN process. They are deliberately trying to undermine one of the few small registries competing in the process that will bring competition, stability and diversity to the Internet.
First off, what half decent law firm would put out such an unprofessional, attacking press release? Obviously a desperate one. One whose court efforts have thus far have failed.
If IOD's application stands on its merits alone, what's the need for such an unprofessional press release? Obviously IOD and friends aren't as confident as they so claim.
You really must think ICANN is stupid. It's obvious that IOD is actively supporting the insults, threats and attacks in this forum. Their press release shows their true motives and intentions.

Q: SSH.NET: How to check if file or folder already exists in other upper-lower-case spelling I am currently using C# and SSH.NET to upload files or folders to a Unix server. My problem is, that Unix is case-sensitive, whereas Windows is not, or at least not really. So I am having a problem if I copy a folder called "test", and another folder called "Test". The different case is no problem for Unix of course, but under Windows, when accessing the folder via Samba, I can see only the contents of one of them.
What I want to do is the following: If I upload a file or folder over sftp, but that file or folder already exists with another combination of upper- or lowercase, I want to rename the file to be copied to match the name already present.
Is there an easy and convenient way to do that? What I basically need is a case-insensitive check if a folder or parts of a folder already exist.

A: You can use the Directory.GetFiles and Directory.GetDirectories methods to list all files/directories in a directory and and then do a case insensitive match in your code.

Jose Mourinho's troubled relationship with Paul Pogba is under scrutiny once again thanks to a report from ESPN's Mark Ogden, whose sources said the former Manchester United manager warned at least one other player to stay away from the midfielder.
The pair were seemingly at odds in the months leading up to the club's decision to relieve the 55-year-old Mourinho of his duties Tuesday after two-and-a-half-years in charge.
Pogba's apparent distrust towards his manager increased once he got word that Mourinho told a senior player during a one-on-one meeting to avoid letting the French international influence him. The Portuguese gaffer reportedly labeled Pogba a "virus" earlier this season.
Mourinho's warning was apparently passed on by the unnamed player to other United teammates, who are said to have developed a sense of "ill-feeling" towards their manager.
Ogden reports as many as 90 percent of United players shared a negative view of Mourinho, a feeling that only deepened as the former Chelsea and Real Madrid boss criticized them publicly in the media.
It's understood several United stars were ready to leave next summer if Mourinho remained in charge. But now there is a celebratory mood among players, according to Ogden's sources; only a handful of United players reportedly visited the manager at his training ground office after news of his dismissal broke.


July 16 - Monday Motivation - Are you over-thinking things?
July 16, 2012 - How much time do you spend thinking about things versus actually doing them? What is the amount of time you spend saying you are going to take action, and then you don't? Thoughtful contemplation is an important part of calculated risk when making strategic moves or decisions. However, when your thoughts are actually prohibiting you from taking action versus empowering you into action, then it is time to ask yourself, "Why?" By bringing clarity to your thinking, you will bring action to your thoughts.
Take an MM&I Moment to answer some of these questions. What are you afraid may happen? What do you think you don't know enough about to take action? What do you believe you aren't capable of or not knowledgeable enough about to make the decision? Could you be caught in analysis paralysis and are actually over-thinking the issue? Then make a list of actions you can take to counter these concerns. Make a list of all the reasons why you have been thinking of these "things" in the first place and why they are so important to you. Then take leadership of your thoughts by taking action on your most exciting thoughts and you will see how what you think can become a reality for you actually does.
Have you invested significant time and resources into your company brand image and messaging, yet not seeing the sales as a result? The good news is that you know the importance of branding and its impact on your company from a perception and credibility standpoint. The bad news depends on how you answer these questions. Are you consistently exposing your target and existing customers to your message and distinctions in relevant, value-added ways? If you recently enhanced your image, have you officially reconnected with your customers and market in targeted ways to re-introduce and remind them of what you have to offer? Do you have a strategy that identifies action and initiatives to further engage in your marketplace on an ongoing basis? Have you thoroughly identified your ideal target market so your message is being exposed to those most likely to need and want your offerings? In our CRISP Study, 60% of the companies cited having a brand image, positioning and messaging, and were still stuck in stagnant or negative growth. The key differentials between no-growth companies and growth companies were that the growth companies understood the importance of the four aspects of branding in combination with having ongoing initiatives that kept their image in front of who they most wanted to do business with.

Q: @Autowired vs @PersistenceContext for EntityManager bean What is the difference between:
@Autowired
private EntityManager em;

versus:
@PersistenceContext
private EntityManager em;

Both options work in my application, but can I break something by using the  @Autowired annotation?

A: You shouldn't use @Autowired.
@PersistenceContext takes care to create a unique EntityManager for every thread. In a production application you can have multiple clients calling your application in the same time. For each call, the application creates a thread. Each thread should use its own EntityManager. Imagine what would happen if they share the same EntityManager: different users would access the same entities.
usually the EntityManager or Session are bound to the thread (implemented as a ThreadLocal variable).

Source: https://stackoverflow.com/a/42074452/2623162
EntityManager instances are not thread-safe.

Source: https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19798-01/821-1841/bnbqy/index.html
Please notice that @PersistenceContext annotation comes from javax.persistence package, not from spring framework. In JavaEE it is used by the JavaEE container (aka the application server) to inject the EntityManager. Spring borrowed the PersistenceContext annotation to do the same: to inject an application-managed (= not container-managed) EntityManager bean per thread, exactly as the JavaEE container does.

A: @PersistenceContext allows you to specify which persistence unit you want to use. Your project might have multiple data sources connected to different DBs and @PersistenceContext allows you to say which one you want to operate on
check the explanation here:
http://www.coderanch.com/t/481448/java-EJB-SCBCD/certification/unitName-PersistenceContext

A: @PersistenceContext:
does not return entity manager instance
it returns container-managed proxy that acquires and releases presistence context on behalf of the application code

A: @PersistenceContext is a JPA standard annotation designed for that specific purpose. Whereas @Autowired is used for any dependency injection in Spring. Using @PersistenceContext gives you greater control over your context as it provides you with ability to specify optional elements e.g. name, properties

A: I think @Autowire will work same way as @PersistenceContext
https://docs.spring.io/spring-data/jpa/docs/current/reference/html/#jpa.misc.jpa-context

When working with multiple EntityManager instances and custom
repository implementations, you need to wire the correct EntityManager
into the repository implementation class. You can do so by explicitly
naming the EntityManager in the @PersistenceContext annotation or, if
the EntityManager is @Autowired, by using @Qualifier.
As of Spring Data JPA 1.9, Spring Data JPA includes a class called
JpaContext that lets you obtain the EntityManager by managed domain
class, assuming it is managed by only one of the EntityManager
instances in the application. The following example shows how to use
JpaContext in a custom repository:

A: You can create the following FactoryBean to make EntityManager properly injectable, even via constructor injection:
/**
 * Makes the {@link EntityManager} injectable via @Autowired,
 * so it can be injected with constructor injection too.
 * (@PersistenceContext cannot be used for constructor injection.)
 */
public static class EntityManagerInjectionFactory extends AbstractFactoryBean<EntityManager> {

    @PersistenceContext
    private EntityManager entityManager;

    @Override
    public Class<?> getObjectType() {
        return EntityManager.class;
    }

    @Override
    protected EntityManager createInstance() {
        return entityManager;
    }

}

Please note, that because we use the @PersistenceContext annotation internally, the returned EntityManager will be a proper thread-safe proxy, as it would have been injected directly at the place of usage with field injection (using @PersistenceContext).


We have all been born into a world that makes weight management extremely difficult. It has relatively little to do with willpower and almost everything to do with the type and amount of food available. As a result, many of us are desperate to lose weight. People in our society will try anything. They'll even go under the knife. Weight loss surgery is a booming business. Surgeries can now shrink your stomach, bypass part of your digestive tract, and even implant an electrical device in your body that will interrupt the nerve signals between your stomach and your brain.
If these surgeries are not surprising enough, the latest weight loss technology certainly blows the mind: the FDA has now approved a device that attaches to the stomach so that a portion of the contents can be pumped out and emptied into a toilet. Called AspireAssist, it comes with a long, scary list of potential side effects, but that may do little to stop the rush of people who are desperate to lose weight.
Last week in "How to Handle Our God-Given Hunger," I described how the Lord has already blessed us with the divine counsel we need to enjoy food without battling weight. Eating a wholesome plant-based diet enables our God-given hunger drive to help us consume the right number of calories we need for proper weight and good health, without going hungry. The Word of Wisdom way to weight loss is completely safe, inexpensive, and has no negative side effects.
Of course, fad diets will continue to be appealing because they promise to help us lose weight and still allow us to eat the unhealthy food we want to eat. But fad diets do not work because they are not suited to the type of body our Father has given us. Try as we might, we can't do an end run around the God-given wisdom of our bodies. We can either eat the wholesome foods that are proper for fueling our bodies or we can engage in a life-long struggle with unhealthy foods and yo-yo dieting.
Eating the Standard American Diet (SAD) high in fat, sugar, salt, and animal foods leads to a life-long battle with weight and uncontrollable food cravings.
Switching to a whole food, plant-based (WFPB) diet kills the cravings, and enables us to eat to satiety and still get down to a healthy weight . . . all without counting calories.
The key to weight management, satisfaction, and cutting the food cravings is to make starch foods (grains, corn, beans, and potatoes) the main staple of our diet.
If They Can Do This, So Can You!
Please note that none of these people succeeded on a Word of Wisdom diet because they had super willpower, superior intelligence, or the money to hire a specialty chef. These are average Mormons who, like the rest of us, are among the "weak and the weakest of all saints" (D&C 89:3).
But these Mormons did discover a life-changing secret: the key to good health and proper weight is found in D&C 89. Thanks to research into whole food, plant-based nutrition, we now have greater clarity on the wisdom in Section 89 than we've perhaps ever had before.
We have the answers. Let's exercise the faith to claim the promised blessing!


Can I transfer my domain name?
Lee wants to know how to register his domain and DNS so he knows he owns it. Leo says that ICANN is a non-governmental organization that handles the DNS "phone book." They maintain 13 main DNS name servers, and his domain name needs to be on one of those servers. He'll have to go to a registrar that's been approved by ICANN. GoDaddy is one such registrar, but Leo isn't a fan of it. He prefers Hover. If he wants to change registrars, he can do that. But he'll have to jump through a hoop or two to do it. But the main thing to understand is that if he stops paying the registry fee, he'll lose the domain. So in reality, he's not owning it, he's leasing it.


When you come close to Nevsehir from the south there is the former Greek area. Here in the foreground is the old and ruined Greek hamam, built in 1892. Behind, right underneath the minaret, the big Meryem Ana church from 1849, which had been turned into a prison in 1950.


It is that which wins, it triumphs.
And there are always shiny musicians.
Against the temporary forms of life.
Nothing is left of the worthlessness.
The worldly, false structures melt away.
And my soul is comforted and wrapped.
It is difficult to be one of those horrible human beings who struggles with the Christmas season, especially when my sentiment allows me to accidentally say I hate Christmas. I was speaking with Dad the other day, and he told me that I am not alone. Oh, really? I've never met another one, or maybe I've never met one who is willing to admit it. Dad assured me that they are out there that they just might not be as honest as I am or they might not even realize how terrified they are. I loudly admit my sickening fear and resulting hatred with some and thus I am ostracized. It's understandable that folks would view me as not very tolerable as they are going around experiencing all of the joy. There is no reason to allow someone to diminish your season merely by being in your company.
The despair of the season.
Eradicate the guilt from failure.
To give me peace and love and joy.
But Bach fails horribly and I cry.
"I'm no good," comes up from hidden basements.
Guilt trips nearly killed me off.
The sea of thick red drowning me.
THIS Christmas, get her something she'll love.
she'll really be glad she married you.
Bread sticks almost come up.
20% off HIS FAVORITE TOOLS.
THIS Christmas continued for eternity.
I could not lift to change the channel.
Christmas has finally pummeled me.
Stilted figures want to have a safe place.
Everywhere, everyone talks of safe places.
I will make this place a safe place.
There is not one safe place.
There is no power moving to make my places safe.
No one sees that but me and strange, strange friends.
Places crash on me. Every place forces in on me.
There will be no safe place where I run to.
There are no physical attacks.
A lover and pine trees in the mountains.
That is a safe place.
Not safe from storms but safe from psychosis.
There are no pine trees today.
I search for a lover who will bring pine trees.
I search for a lover who can cover me.
That I am never in a safe place?
And Christmas lights will not deter us.
But I am not enamored of the terrible death.
But I might not live to see spring.
Leaning against the recycle bin.
Join this dishonest array of junk.


Undertaking a home improvement project can be quite expensive. There are many costs associated with making adjustments to your home space, even if those changes consist of nothing more than new interior decor. That comes at a price, too.
If one of your New Year Resolutions is to make improvements to your home, so it'll be more the kind of place where you feel rested and relaxed, you probably could use some tips on how to go about the project without breaking the bank.
If you're planning a simple home improvement project such as replacing your old carpeting with wood floors, consider doing it yourself. It's not difficult to learn how to lay wood flooring. In fact, many home improvement stores offer classes for homeowners who wish to learn this art.
Once you know what you're doing, you can easily take on a few other home improvement projects on your own. This saves you the cost of labor and contractors, which is a significant expense associated with home improvements.
You don't need an interior designer to help you choose how to decorate your home so it's everything you want. You can do this yourself by making use of several excellent resources — namely, the Internet and design magazines.
Sometimes all it takes is a single pattern or furnishing to make you fall in love, and you can build a room around that.
You don't have to head to high-end department stores and boutiques to redecorate your home. It's easy to create a luxurious look for less when you browse the decor offerings at inexpensive retail outlets such as TJ Maxx, Marshalls, Home Goods, Pier I Imports, or even Target.
You're likely to find a few designer pieces in these locations that go for far more in boutiques and department stores than they do in these lesser-priced shops. For example, you can find high-end Cynthia Rowley home decor items at TJ Maxx for less than 75 percent of the price you'd pay for the same items at upscale department stores.
Redecorating and remodeling on a budget is not a difficult task if you know what to do and where to look. You can save significantly on large professional fees by doing things yourself.
You can also save on decor by knowing when and where to shop. It makes a big difference, and allows you to recreate a home you like into the home you love.


During the last few years, there has been an increasing acknowledgment of the importance of trust in business interactions within the management and organizational literatures (e.g., Kramer & Tyler, 1996; Mayer, Davis, & Schorman, 1995; Rousseau, Sitkin, Burt, & Camerer, 1999). Trust, as a positive and confident expectation in the behavior of another party (Cook & Wall, 1980; Currall & Judge, 1995), enables cooperation and becomes the means for complexity reduction, even in situations where individuals must act under uncertainty with ambiguous and incomplete information. Therefore, it is not surprising that in the current age of global and digital economy and virtuality (Shepherd, 2004), there has been an overwhelming interest in trust. Motivated by the need to better understand trust in the digital era, this paper views the case of global virtual teams in commercial business organizations.
Trust has received significant recognition as a phenomenon worthy of detailed study in organizational and management studies (Dirks & Ferrin, 2001). In organizations, individuals must often act under uncertainty with ambiguous and incomplete information. This lack of explicit knowledge introduces risk and thus the requirement for trust. Accordingly, trust is defined as the willingness of a party to be vulnerable to the actions of another party (Mayer et al., 1995) based on a state of a positive, confident, though subjective, expectation regarding the behavior of somebody or something in a situation that entails risk to the trusting party (Baba, 1999; Cook & Wall, 1980; Currall & Judge, 1995).
Numerous scholars agree that trust is highly beneficial for the functioning of organizations. Trust "is at the heart of knowledge exchange" (Davenport & Prusak, 1998, p.35). High levels of trust are also key to effective communication (Dodgson, 1993) as they "improve the quality of dialogue and discussions … [that] facilitate the sharing of … knowledge" (Ichijo, von Krogh, & Nonaka, 2000, p.200), and committed relationships (ibid). The centrality of trust is further accentuated by its absence: "mistrust ... makes success harder to attain" (Kanter, 1994, p.105) as it weakens relationships, increases dependence on less information, compromises rational and unprejudiced analysis and exploration, and undermines learning (Luhmann, 1979). Furthermore, it has been recognized that if trust is not prominent, this may lead to dissatisfaction, absenteeism, and even intention to quit (Cunningham & MacGregor, 2000). At the inter-organizational level, trust also plays a vital role since it is found to affect the degree of cooperation among participating parties (Grabowski & Roberts, 1998; Newell & Swan, 2000). This is particularly important for virtual organizations. The business motivation for virtual arrangements is the potential for increased value-added and competitive advantage from the enhanced knowledge stock and core competencies, which are deemed to accrue to such networks (Alavi &Leidner, 2001).
Clearly, there is little dispute over the significance of trust in the organizational literature. However, there seems to be little agreement on how trust is developed and maintained in both the traditional and the virtual organizational literature.

Roxy has met a farmer called Tom and is about to go on a proper date with him.
Explaining to Tom for the hundredth time today, how I am cursed when it comes to spending romantic nights away in posh hotels.
We are about to leave for a night in a fancy hotel. Tom's treat after our eventful farm date with my four kids.
My mother has kindly agreed to babysit. Whilst the kids are upstairs she plans to invite my ex-landlord Brian round for dinner. She assures me, her and Brian are 'just good friends,' after their passionate kiss at the speed dating event.
"Tell me more about this curse, which you have been going on about all day?" Tom says, draping his huge arm across my shoulders.
"Yes, thank you, Toby," I say, with a nervous laugh.
Tom's bushy eyebrows rise up his forehead.
"Thank you, Harry," I say, keen to move the conversation on.
"Mam got drunk, got a tattoo, which was meant to say, 'Marcus', but there was a mix-up and she got the name of her ex-manager at work tattooed on instead. At the hotel Marcus discovered the name 'Martin' on her shoulder," explains Matilda, without looking up from her phone.
Currently staring at an interesting part of the kitchen floor tile.
Still staring at the kitchen tile.
Tom and I have just sat down to dinner. He won't stop grinning at me.
"Here's to our eventful night," he says, clinking his wine glass against mine.
"Are you not worried about the curse?" I ask.
The sight of his boyish wide smile and those pink, kissable lips sets off a tingling feeling, in a place of me, I cannot possibly divulge in a diary.
"So, tell me all about your singing dream," Tom takes my hand and kisses the back of it.
This is a first for me. I am on a date with a man who wants to find out about my singing dream and is not boring me silly with stuff about himself.
He raised his eyebrows at the bit where I accidentally fell into the lap of music industry mogul, Hugo Rocco and he gave me an awkward look on hearing about Marcus encouraging me to give up on my dream.
"Or on a farm," I add, with a smirk.
I give him a playful napkin swipe.
"Do you think Hugo whatever his name is would still remember you?" Tom asks, before handing me my colourful cocktail.
Dare I say it – things have so far gone to plan.
Maybe there is no curse?
Tom and I kissing are each other, fully clothed, I might add, on the hotel bed. The TV is on in the background.
Just as I am about to whisper to Tom my thoughts on our next activity, my ears pick up on a TV interview. I can hear a familiar voice.
Turning round I see that Hugo Rocco, music industry mogul and probably the world's most attractive man, bar Tom of course, is talking to a reporter.
I nod and without thinking grab the TV controller to turn up the volume.
"So, Hugo Rocco, what's been happening in your world?" asks the pretty, blonde reporter, holding up a microphone.
Sophie, the reporter raises her perfectly arched eyebrows at Hugo.
My heart has stopped beating.
"Is he talking about you, Roxy?" Tom has cranked up the volume.
I can hear my mobile phone going berserk inside my handbag.
I fall into his embrace and send God a silent prayer of thanks for finally sending me a good man.
"Now, you owe me a skinny dip," chuckles Tom.
"Tom – where are our clothes?" I shriek, shivering with cold and desperate for warmth.
We had left them in neat pile by the edge of the hotel lake and now they've disappeared.
"Did you see anyone, whilst we were…." My teeth are starting to chatter.
"You mean we have to go to reception with no clothes on? I don't want the hotel guests to see my naked wobbly bits," I gasp.
Oh Roxy! What a turn up for the books! Tom is decent!
We get to see how your fictional pop career went so make sure you read next week!
So am I! How famous do you want to be? Sell out stadiums tours?
Okay let me make this happen – let me know a famous Bollywood track you want to cover?
Ooooh! So many favourite songs! I'll tell you what, how about the song that was our first dance at our wedding, since our anniversary is this month!
She loves it says she wants an agent!

The Voice of the CISO: Interview with Brian Engle
Last month, we interviewed Thom Langford, the Director of Sapient's Global Security Office. Among other things, he explained to us how critical people are to an organization's cyber security success, not to mention how the CISO is instrumental in framing security issues so that different target audiences can understand them.
As part of our ongoing "The Voice of the CISO" series, we now interview Brian Engle, who is the Chief Information Security Officer and Cybersecurity Coordinator for the State of Texas.
Tripwire: What are your business priorities, and how do they relate them to your cyber security efforts?
Engle: Broadly speaking, our first and foremost business priority is to support our Texas state agency customers and higher education institutions with telecommunications, procurement and overall strategy. This involves assisting each agency to protect its privacy and security, as well as supporting its ability to cost efficiently deliver its services to its customers. We are also constantly leveraging partnerships in an effort to help them achieve their goals of becoming more efficient, reducing risk, and continuing to operate on a limited budget and resources. Overall, we serve about 145 distinct organizations that each has its own individual and unique business mission. As such, these organizations have their own IT departments, IT leaders, and information security offices, whereas we act as more as service providers to them.
T: In your opinion, what is the single most important component in cyber security success?
E: The single most important component in cyber security success is communication, that is, my team's ability to communicate effectively about what we can and cannot do. This is especially true for my place of work, where the Legislature for the Texas State Government meets for six months only every two years. This obviously provides a very limited timeframe for governance of a statewide information security program, especially regarding my team's efforts to impress upon legislators and other personnel the fact that strong cyber security involves layers of complexity. (After all, my target audience also includes business executives whose intellectual energy is mainly focused on running their businesses.) With this in mind, it's all about prioritizing our initiatives and weaving cyber security into the issues and capabilities that are deeply involved with running a business.
To address our time constraints at the State Legislature, the Texas Department of Information Resources utilizes quarterly communications with its Board of Directors in an effort to not only provide the group a better understanding of the complexities of cybersecurity but also effectively communicate the organization's priorities for the coming years. Using guidance provided by legislative decisions, we help to create a strategy for the state's cybersecurity efforts.
T: How does cybersecurity effectively align to the business?
E: The word "alignment" suggests there is an effort to bring together two things that are otherwise separate. This next point cannot be over-exaggerated: cybersecurity is part of the overall organization, and more and more we're seeing that it is one of the top risks to business awareness and understanding. It's not a problem that we need to solve; it is an ongoing management concern for businesses everywhere.
T: How literate are your executives about cyber security, and how does it affect how you communicate with them?
E: The literacy of my executives varies broadly. Executives that work with us on a consistent basis are quickly becoming more effective and well versed in security, even if not in a technical sense. We owe this development in part to the Texas Cyber Security Framework, which helps with literacy and provides structures of understanding. Also, at a very high level, the NIST 800-53 provided a model off of which we could leverage existing cyber security standards and develop our framework.
T: What questions do you get asked, and how often? Are you confident in responding to them?
E: When a breach occurs, someone inevitably approaches me with the question "Who is responsible?" In one light, this question tries to understand who committed the attack, but in a more productive light, it touches upon the way in which information security professionals work together to protect user data and respond to any incidents that might arise. Ultimately, each and every agency is responsible for protection, detection, and response; there is not a single person responsible for the mission of cyber security. Frameworks help a little to the extent that they detangle the idea of many teams working together to accomplish a mission, but it's still up to the people and agencies involved to decide how they'll frame and build their security programs.
Also, legislators and leadership personnel sometimes ask me the question, "How can I help?" This is a great question to hear, for there are things the legislature and others can do to help pull up additional resources and support.
T: What does your business look like in three years, and what are you doing to prepare for that?
E: For us, we are steadily becoming accustomed to the fact that a number of partners and outsourcing providers are going to begin relying on us, and us on them. Acknowledging this shift, we need to rethink the standards of effectiveness and efficiency we have built up over the years. How can we cobble everything together so that we can continue to see our efforts grow and mature? As always, we'll need to appeal to everyone's coordinated efforts to address these challenges.

Circles Enrichment was founded in 2001 to meet the demand for ongoing learning and cultural enrichment. To that end, the company develops and delivers a wide range of entertaining and educational presentations which are focused on the arts.
For over a decade, Circles Enrichment has collaborated with retirement communities to implement programs that residents find stimulating, entertaining and interesting. The company's focus and extensive experience within this segment support it in developing presentations that resonate with its target audience.
Circles Enrichment has progressed from its early years of delivering classical music lectures exclusively, into a company that presently offers clients close to 50 diverse topics across numerous categories, including music, cinema and fine arts.
The company consists of a team of energetic scholars, enthusiastic about their field and eager to share their passion with their audience. It is our belief that learning could, and should, be entertaining, and establishing a positive personal rapport between speaker and audience is a key to enjoyable learning.

I will not disappoint you -John Mahama declares intention for 2020 polls
Former president John Dramani Mahama who has been silent over his intentions for the 2020 polls has finally declared his intentions towards joining the race.
In a post on Facebook, which seem to mean that he is ready to lead Ghana again, John Mahama stated that he has heeded to the several calls of sympathizers and well-wishers while assuring them of not letting them down as a "servant-leader."
The former flagbearer of the opposition National Democartic Congress (NDC) came under scrutiny after the party lost woefully to the New Patriotic Party (NPP) during the 2016 December polls.
Most senior members of the main opposition party accused ex-President John Dramani Mahama of running a failed campaign by surrounding himself with 'young' and 'inexperienced' people, leading to the party's crushing defeat.
However Mahama blamed the loss to some irregularities but rejected the idea of gathering evidence of over-voting and other abnormalities because his party campaign was focused on institutionalizing democracy.
In a bid to assure the NDC of not giving failure a chance if he is voted as flagbearer of the party again, he stated, "To you the teeming supporters and sympathizers calling and requesting me to declare my intentions for the future, I wish to assure you today, that as a servant-leader, I have listened to your calls and reflected. I will not disappoint you even as we await the publication of the party's guidelines for selecting a new leader."
He noted to party faithfuls that, "The zeal and determination of the average sympathizer of our great party is greater and miles ahead of what it was after the December 2016 Elections" while encouraging party members that "we need to keep up with the momentum generated and follow the published timelines."
Meanwhile, Ekow Spio-Garbrah, former Trade Minister; Professor Joshua Alabi, retired Vice-Chancellor of the University of Professional Studies, Accra (UPSA); Second Deputy Speaker of Parliament Alban Bagbin and former CEO of the National Health Insurance Authority (NHIA), Sylvester Mensah have declared their intentions to contest the flag bearer slot of the party.

A third attempt at my song recommendation-of-the-week, which I hope grows into a regular and regular-on-Sunday feature here. This post, I hope, will go over more smoothly than the last minute substitute that served as last week's.
Have you heard of The Budos Band?
They're good, at least as far as eleven-man, brass-heavy, Staten Island-based, 60s-influenced, instrumental Afro-soul bands go. I enjoy them, even if a few of their songs are easy to confuse with a few of their other songs. Instrumental songs have that tendency. In general, The Budos Band's catalogue sounds like a group of selections from the soundtrack to some forgotten Quentin Tarantino film, if not Jackie Brown in particular. For me, this is a good thing, because I'm the kind of guy who likes driving around town with what sounds like exploitation movie-era chase music playing. You know, to feel cool.
The track I'm recommending you look into today is one from their sophomore-yet-not-sophomoric effort, The Budos Band II, "His Girl." Technically speaking, it's a cover of the Smokey Robinson-composed, Temptations-sung, 1964 song "My Girl," but with an important difference: a few off notes. Just when the song begins to sound familiar, the band changes the tune. (Possibly to a minor key? My music terminology is failing me here.) The result is an alternate take on a classic, the bent of which reflected in the altered track title. It's not my girl, it's his girl, hence the scattered sour notes.
"His Girl" represents everything I want from a cover: a competent remake of a song that manages to stay more or less within the confines of the original work while making small departures in one work or another that manage to take the piece in a way the original may have only hinted at or may not have intended at all. (Another success story along these lines: Cat Power's cover of "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction," in which she never sings the chorus and, thus, denies the listener the satisfaction of hearing the complete song.) Such songs are few and far between.
As a bonus, here's "Volcano Song," which is also pretty damn good. Don't know if this is the official video, but it's an entertaining thing to watch dance around your monitor.
So please, if you share my appreciation of covers, check out "His Girl." Download illegally, if you must, but if you'd rather be honest about it, look into buying the track through the Amazon.com MP3 store or iTunes.

So today I wanted to write about one of the "louder" planned features – nullable reference types. Yes, you read it right. And yes, all the reference types we already have in C# are actually… nullable. Yeah, makes no sense, yeah, what a bullsh… No! Wait!
tl;dr; The plan is to make all the reference types not nullable by default.
And if you decide you want an object of some reference type to be nullable, you just add a "?" sign at the end of a type name. Just like we do now with the primitives. Let's look at the below extremely sophisticated code :P.
Now let's spend 5 seconds on analyzing this code. Do you think it will compile?
So, the compiler says that making already nullable type as 'literally written' nullable makes no sense. Well, this time the machine wins!
I know, my opinion doesn't matter 😉 and Microsoft will do what they planned, but… I would say, the question is quite tricky. Making all the types in our app non-nullable by default seems to be an excellent idea. It will make our apps less vulnerable to NullReferenceException, we will have to write less if-statements to check whether an object is null or not etc.
At the very end, there is another problem that I think may be annoying. What if you spend a few months in a project written in the newest C# and then you have to come back to some old code, written in C# 7.3 (or even older)? Will you still remember to check if objects are null or not? Because you will have to!

There were a lot of derbies on Day 9 of the Champions League, but the biggest one didn't offer a lot of excitement. Barceloneta completely outplayed Olympiacos in the big game of the day, played in Piraeus, – 15:9. After this victory, Barceloneta remains lonely atop of Group A, with a point more than 2nd-placed Jug and three more than Olympiacos.
Jug recorded a valuable away win, as well as Barceloneta. The Croats beat Szolnok 16:12.
Szolnok fell from 4th to 5th place. Jadran Herceg Novi defeated Jadran Split14:11 and climbed into 4th position.

Olympiacos and Barceloneta shared the 1st and 2nd place before Day 9. Their first encounter this season, played in Barcelona in December, ended in a draw (11:11). So, few could expect that the gap between these great teams would be six goals after the last buzzer. But, the visitors deserved the convincing win, as they dominated from the beginning of the game.
The Spaniards scored the first three goals in the match, and they had a 3:0 advantage already in the 4th minute. Stefan Mitrovic converted a man-up for 1:3 in the 5th minute, but another 3:0 series came from the visiting team. Barceloneta went 6:1 up deep into the third period . In the opening minutes of the third quarter, Barceloneta built a 6-goal lead (8:2, 9:3), but Olympiacos reduced the gap with three unanswered goals in the last three minutes of the third quarter (6:9). After the last break, the Spaniards retook control and went 11:6 up. Barceloneta, led by Felipe Perrone, even had a seven-goal lead (15:8), but Gounas scored a consolation goal for Olympiacos 17 seconds from the end.
Barceloneta's ace Felipe Perrone was the best scorer of the match with five goals. Alberto Munarriz netted four. Stefan Mitrovic scored three goals for Olympiacos.

The Hungarians came near to the Croatian team in the 14th minute (7:8). In the middle of the third period, Jug took a 12:8 lead and after that, the visitors' victory wasn't in danger. They didn't let Szolnok come back. Jug even had a 6-goal advantage (16:10). Szolnok scored the last two goals in the match in the last minute.
Loren Fatovic and Hrvoje Benic led Jug this evening. Each scored four goals.
Jadran HN – Jadran S 14:11 (4:4, 3:2, 3:2, 4:3)

In the first quarter, the visitors had a 3:1 lead, but the Herceg Novi-based side caught the Croats before the end of the period (4:4). In the second quarter, the visiting side went ahead twice(5:4 and 6:5). However, the home team entered the third quarter with a minimal advantage (7:6), while it doubled the lead in the following eight minutes (10:8). In the middle of the fourth quarter, Jadran Herceg Novi earned a safe 13:9 advantage and secured the victory.
Spandau 04 – Sintez 15:8 (3:2, 3:1, 3:2, 6:3)
Spandau 04: Dedovic 4, Stamm 4, Negren 2, Restovic 2, Cuk 1, Juengling 1, Reibel 1.
Sintez Kazan: Lazarev 1, Vasilyev 1, Bugaychuk 1, Krasnov 1, Dereviankin 1, Andryukov 1, Zinurov 1, Lisunov 1.

Carnival Cruise Line's New 133,500-ton Vista-Class Ship to be Named Carnival Panorama
Carnival Panorama has been chosen as the name of Carnival Cruise Line's new 133,500-ton ship scheduled to debut in fall 2019.
Carnival Panorama is the third in the line's highly successful Vista-class series, which are all named to reflect the connection between the vessels and the sea and highlighted by stunning indoor/outdoor spaces that create a truly unique seagoing vacation experience.
Carnival Panorama will join its sister ships – Carnival Vista, which entered service in 2016, and Carnival Horizon, set to debut April 2, 2018. The three 3,954-passenger Vista-class ships are the largest ever constructed for Carnival Cruise Line.
Like its name implies, Carnival Panorama will offer venues with both indoor and al fresco experiences, including the Fahrenheit 555 steakhouse, Library Bar, and Bonsai Sushi, along with open-air attractions like the groundbreaking bike-ride-in-the-sky attraction SkyRide, a massive WaterWorks aqua park, and the SportSquare recreation area.
Also featured will be a vibrant Havana section with tropics-inspired staterooms and its own Cuban-themed bar and pool, Family Harbor featuring extra-roomy accommodations, the Family Harbor Lounge, a luxurious Cloud 9 Spa and Ocean Plaza, a spacious dining and entertainment venue with indoor and outdoor seating.
"Carnival Panorama is the perfect name to reflect the design inspiration of our Vista-class ships providing more venues and opportunities to connect with the sea," said Christine Duffy, president of Carnival Cruise Line. "Carnival Panorama will offer a wide variety of fun indoor and outdoor experiences along with exciting one-of-a-kind features that will provide our guests with a lifetime of wonderful vacation memories," she added.
Currently under construction at the Fincantieri's Marghera shipyard in Italy, Carnival Panorama is scheduled to enter service in November 2019. Homeport and itinerary, along with other new features of this ship, will be announced at a later date.

Electrotechnology
"Electrotechnology" is a technology that uses electricity to achieve any or all of the following:
Reduction of total energy usage - Using an infrared oven instead of a gas oven for drying paint on a car will eliminate gas usage. Using an equivalent term to compare electricity and gas usage, it can be seen that less electricity will be required for the process than gas.
Decrease in waste and pollution output - Using ozone or ultraviolet lighting in a waste stream will reduce or eliminate the pollutants so that the stream can be reused in the facility or be released into public waterways with reduced or no chemical treatment. Sewage costs may be reduced as well as risks for EPA citations.
Reduction in labor - Injecting ozone into a cooling tower will eliminate the need for personnel to refill chemical solutions to prevent biological fouling.
Increase in product or process quality - Using radio frequency for drying fabrics allows the product to be dried uniformly, and eliminate the chance for areas of the fabric to become overheated.
Increase in productivity - Using most electrotechnologies allow for processes to be completed in less time than using an alternate method. Using ultraviolet light to dry ink in a printing process takes less time and allows for multiple color products to be completed in a shorter amount of time.
In most commercial and industrial facilities opportunities exist for the incorporation of electrotechnologies with attractive paybacks once the tangible and intangible benefits of installing an electrotechnology are considered. Electrotechnologies can be retrofitted into an existing building or incorporated into new building designs. Representatives from Northern Virginia Electric Cooperative are available to help evaluate facilities and identify opportunities where an electrotechnology would be an optimum solution.
Some of the more common electrotechnologies and applications include:
Ozonation - Ozone (O3) attacks and decomposes bacteria and organic compounds in water. The use of Ozone eliminates or reduces the need for chemicals and detergents. Swimming pools, spas, laundry and cooling towers are popular uses for this technology.
Infrared Drying or Curing - An efficient method of heating because the air in between the source and target is not heated. Electromagnetic radiation is passed from the source (an emitter) to a target. Space heating and curing of paints and coatings are popular uses for this technology.
Membranes - The type of membrane and fluid pressures can be varied to obtain different concentrations or purity of a fluid. The fluid is forced through the membrane at a high pressure. The most common fluid with applications for this technology is water. Membrane processes are used in the water treatment, pharmaceutical, pulp and paper, and chemical industries.
Radio Frequency Drying or Heating - This electrotechnology heats a material from the inside out by vibrating molecules of water within the material. The textile, cookie and cracker, gypsum products, and tobacco industries would have ideal applications for this technology.
Ultraviolet - Water sterilization and curing of inks and adhesives are uses for this technology. Ultraviolet lamps emit light at ultraviolet frequencies. The radiation emitted from these lamps kills bacteria and microorganisms replacing chlorine in water streams, and causes inks and adhesives to bond.
NOVEC staff members are available to:
Perform building and process surveys
Recommend electrotechnology improvements to your facility or commercial or industrial process
Coordinate site visits to see installed electrotechnologies
Set up meetings with experienced electrotechnogy vendors

Submitted by witness no thank you on Friday, January 12, 2007.
LOCATION DETAILS: Monument / picnic area: named after Henry "12 foot" Davis a local goldminer. Grouard Hill Area which over looks confluence of the Peace and Smoky Rivers.
Drove to "12 Foot Davis" Gravesite/Picnic Grounds in Peace River with friend. We walked on the hillside behind the grave site. No birds were chirping, everything was silent, hairs on my neck were standing up). I chose to go to outside toilet facilities; friend moved back to car. When I got about 2 feet from washroom door, I saw a shadow move and I heard heavy outgoing of breath and there was a musky stench. The toilet facilities were about 8 to 9 feet high of a pyramid shape. This thing was standing beside the toilet and I estimate its height of at least 7 to 71/2 feet high. I felt eerie and decided to forget the washroom trip. I started to walk away towards the grave site. My friend yelled at me to get back in the car as he had been looking in my direction. I turned and looked behind me and felt immediate terror. This thing (wasn't a bear) was on its front arms with bum up in the air and pushing itself along in a ambling fashion following behind me about 4 feet away and appeared to be sniffing at me.
It was light haired dark blondish color. Looked not like a bear, had sparse hair on its body, more hair on legs and arms, apelike face with little hair on the face, more on the head. Hair looked extremely coarse almost like a horse's mane in winter. I quickly ran to the car, we jumped in the car and sped away around a corner and down the hill. As we were speeding away, this thing rose up and tried to chase the car a short way. It was angry, standing straight (not like a bear) - more like a human, and it was swinging its arms and screaming. We barely got away from it. It followed us down the hillside a short way.
When I came home I was so upset that I told my mother. She in turn, passed this information on and someone went up there the next day but didn't see anything. They found tufts of hair but that was it. It has been 30 years and I still have the details of what I saw stuck in my head and I imagine I always will. A person does not survive that kind of terror without remembering it for the rest of your life.
OTHER STORIES: 1975 December - a friend of mine was working with the power company on power lines and observed several large footprints close to powerlines outside of town.
TIME AND CONDITIONS: dusk, just starting to turn dark, cool weather, had rained earlier in the day. Very quiet, no birds chirping, very very silent. Moon was shining.
I had a lengthy conversation with this witness and I had found her to be credible.
Her boyfriend was parked no more then 30 feet away. He saw the animal and said to her, "Get into the car now!" When she looked back at the animal it was 5-6 feet away from her, down on all fours, and sniffing the air behind her. It was crawling in a awkward position with it's rear end up in the air, like kids do when crawling on their hands and straight legged.
Due to the how close the witness was to the subject she was able to report a lot of detail. Its hair was a copper blonde color. It had more hair on its limbs than on its body and less on its ape-like face than on its head. She described the hair to be course like that of a horses mane.
Once she got in the car the animal stood up on two legs started a loud screeching sound and went into an angry fit as the vehicle drove away.
