Not only is silver jewelry durable and versatile, it is also antibacterial, hypoallergenic and non-toxic and feels cool and soothing to the skin. Influenced by her years in childcare and her time in East India, where children use silver bangles and anklets to keep themselves cool, the founder of Sophia Faye Jewelry chose this metal specifically for her jewelry. Her heirloom-quality range is targeted at mamas and children, and we love the fact that she uses reclaimed silver, cutting back on the amount of new material sourced from silver mining.
This baby and toddler anklet is beautifully handmade out of recycled sterling silver wire that is extremely durable, antibacterial and non-toxic. It comes with three silver bells that jingle melodically. With an adjustable circumference of seven inches, this anklet can be turned into a bracelet as the child grows older. This anklet is lovingly gift wrapped in a beautiful recycled jewelry box, cotton drawstring bag and tied with hand-dyed silk ribbon.

The speaker said that everyone should make an effort towards protection of the environment, as everyone was in the same boat and climate changes would have dire consequences for all.
Joe said that he hated his job, to which Bill retorted that they were all in the same boat.
When it came to contributing for the event, they realized all of them were in the same boat; none of them had much money with them, so they decided to drop it.
You are always go on about never having enough money, but we are all in the same boat, so stop complaining.
I know this is difficult work, but we are all in the same boat here, so we'll have to do this together.
When he lost his job, he twittered that it was not bad to know he was in the same boat as about three hundred thousand others in the country.
The phrase originated in the mid 1800s and was used mainly by the Greeks to refer to the risks faced by the passengers in a small boat at sea. Another interesting, but probably incorrect theory about the origin of the phrase refers to the sinking of the ship Titanic in 1912, when people from all classes were stuck in the same situation when the ship was sinking.

The Facebook ads are an effective strategy to market your business if you know how to run, create, and manage the ads properly. There is a science behind using Facebook ads. First, it is important for you to put yourself in the consumer's' situation. Before creating the ad, you need to know how customers feel and what exactly they are looking for.
Don't hesitate to get to know your buyers. If you have been marketing for a while, we supper you have a buyer persona. You can use this persona, however, you may need to properly adjust it according to your Facebook users and hopefully Shopify buyers.
The Facebook users are different in a couple of ways. For example, these users are not on Facebook looking to purchase something, the people using Facebook are not necessarily ready to spend money, the people who are using this social media platform have a certain degree of emotional responsiveness, and most importantly – for the Facebook users, only the most attractive and well-designed ads stand out.
Although there are significant differences between Facebook users, you can still create a Facebook ad that will bring you a positive result. You simply need to know what your potential customers way and give that to them in a way they can't say no. We can say that Facebook has done an amazing job of analyzing its users. They know their interests, demographics, behaviors, and affiliations. When you set up a Facebook ad, you can choose people who have looked for your products and services. You can choose people who have already visited your Shopify store or Facebook page. There is also an option to show your Facebook ad to people who have considered making a purchase or already purchased from your competitor. Targeting the ad to the right group of people will grow the likelihood they will convert, buy your items, and hopefully come back. The potential buyers of yours may not be looking to make a purchase, however, if they were researching a product in the past, they are much closer to converting.

Home / Health / Cases of mysterious paralyzing illness reported in 22 states
Cases of mysterious paralyzing illness reported in 22 states
Charles Sherman | Thursday, October 18, 2018
U.S. health officials have issued a warning about a rare condition which attacks the nervous system and spinal cord after 62 new cases of the little-known disease were confirmed across 22 states.
AFM is an illness that affects the nervous system, causing muscles and reflexes in the body to become weak or even paralyzed.
The spinal cord condition is caused by a polio-like enterovirus and manifests with similar symptoms, particularly muscle weakness and partial paralysis. The CDC estimates it affects only 1 out of 1 million people in the United States. The CDC knows of one child who died with the disorder in 2017.
The CDC has been tracking cases of AFM since a noted spike in 2014.
"We know this can be frightening for parents, and I know many parents want to know what signs and symptoms they should be looking out for in their children", she said.
Other enteroviruses have also been found in patients with AFM. She also said West Nile virus hasn't been linked to any of these cases, either.
Doctors don't know much about AFM and the lack of answers is what is worrying Doug and Mary Finke. "None of the specimens have tested positive for poliovirus".
More broadly, she noted, "there is a lot we don't know about AFM".
People can protect themselves from contracting AFM using methods similar to preventing getting the flu, Ellerin said. In some cases, patients recover quickly.
On Monday, CNN reached out to health departments in every state and received responses from 48 states plus the District of Columbia.
Last week, a doctor at Kennedy Krieger told WJZ that their hospital is treating two possible cases there. But some states have previously announced clusters, including Minnesota, Illinois, Colorado, New York and Washington.
In an email Tuesday, Maryland Department of Health spokeswoman Brittany Fowler said the CDC will "make a determination about the status of the cases" in Maryland "based on clinical and laboratory information". "There's going to be a delay, a lag in the timing of some of these reports". Then in 2016, there were 149 confirmed cases. There have been cases each year since, but the numbers have been higher on alternate years.
The increase in cases has been happening since 2014, with the number of cases spiking in August and September, she said in a news briefing with reporters.
AFM is still extremely rare. In 2016, 22 across 17 states in 2015 and 120 across 34 states in 2014. The CDC actually doesn't know what causes the disease or much about it at all. "This is a mystery so far, and we haven't solved it yet, so we have to be thinking broadly". It's acting very much like a post-viral neurological syndrome, but we can't say for sure that it is because we don't have any definitive isolation.
Parents have reported that the limbs of affected children appear lifeless.

Baseball has taken huge steps forward in support of LGBTQ players and fans.
Eric Pfeiffer

Pride nights at major sporting events have become as American as apple pie.
Major League Baseball has made huge strides in recent years in recognizing LGBTQ fans and players. Only the Angels and the Yankees haven't yet held Pride events. But with the Angels announcing plans to host Pride Night in June 2019, the sea change is almost complete.
It's a rapidly accelerating culture of acceptance for a sport that as recently as 2015 faced backlash from fans in one city that hosted its first Pride night. But even that story had a positive ending. The Chicago Cubs are believed to have held the first Pride Night in 2001 and are one of at least 11 teams to sell official Pride merchandise at games.
During the 2018 season, 23 teams are set to host Pride nights, with many having past and future events on the books. As the world of sports continues to evolve on LGBTQ issues, that's a lot of progress in a very short window of time.
Even the New York Yankees — the only team left so far without an official Pride planned — still recognize that inclusion is paramount.
New York is home to Stonewall, where the modern gay rights movement got its start. In 1994, Yankee Stadium played to host the closing ceremonies of the Gay Games. It seems that it would be one of the first, not the last, baseball team to get on board.
Former Major League star Billy Bean, who came out in 1999 and in 2014 was named MLB's inclusion ambassador, said he's talked to the Yankees about hosting a Pride night but wants it to feel "organic."
Team representatives have said the Yankees are simply moving away from theme nights but insist they are actively working with the LGBTQ community to ensure an inclusive atmosphere at games. But as any sports fan can attest, optics matter. And right now there may be no better public display than hosting a Pride night.
"It's part of us getting better and understanding the value of being inclusive," Bean said. "There's a massive significance to that message."

There's still more work to be done to make sports more inclusive, but Pride nights are a hopeful sign of what's to come.
Major League Baseball has really upped its game as far as inclusion in recent years, and it should be commended for it. And there's still more work to be done for making sports everywhere a safe and welcome space for all people — fans and the athletes themselves included. Pride Nights send a powerful message that all are welcome.

The e-Golf has become a favorite at Clean Fleet Report. Introduced in 2014 and unchanged through 2016, the 83-mile driving range was right in line with EV competitors at that time selling in the mid-$30,000 price range. In 2017, the e-Golf has upped the driving range to 125 miles with a very good 119 MPGe, or miles per gallon equivalent. MPGe is an EPA measurement of how far a car can travel, electrically, on the same amount of energy as is contained in one gallon of gasoline.
Drivers have the choice of driving modes and regenerative braking force. The mode levels go from Normal to Eco and Eco-plus, progressively reducing performance as the electricity use is reduced. You learn pretty quickly that you can't drive like a racer and expect the e-Golf to get far down the road. Smooth and steady is the prescription for maximizing the 125-mile driving range.
The heated V-Tex leatherette front seats have better-than-average bolstering, with the driver's side getting power adjustments for height, sliding and lumbar adjustment. There was a good choice of seat settings that, when combined with the height adjustable and telescoping steering column, made a comfortable position easy to find. Especially noticeable was how far back the driver's seat slides: no circus contorting for the six-foot-plus crowd. Visibility was excellent and exterior noise was deadened to near nothing. The center console has a height-adjustable armrest and storage area. Head, leg, elbow and shoulder room was accommodating, even for 6-foot-plus drivers and passengers.
Clean Fleet Report is a big fan of knobs and switches for the radio and climate controls. VW does a nice job of making it easy to operate the radio and dual-zone HVAC system, with the turn of a few knobs. The black dash has accents of chrome, aluminum and piano-black finishes, and a leather-wrapped gearshift knob and hand brake handle.
All 2017 Volkswagen e-Golfs come with eight airbags, a tire pressure monitoring system, Intelligent Crash Response System with forward collision warning, and the Automatic Post Collision Braking System. Clean Fleet Report's SEL Premium had automatic LED headlights and LED daytime running lights, and rear parking distance control sensors, lane assist, blind spot monitoring and park assist.
The 2017 Volkswagen e-Golf has not been rated by the Insurance Institute of Highway Safety (IIHS) or the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). However, the gasoline-powered Golf received the highest ratings from IIHS as a Top Safety Pick, and a Five Star rating from NHTSA.
If you don't live in any of these states and must have an all-electric car now, Clean Fleet Report gives high marks to the Chevrolet Bolt and Nissan Leaf, which are direct competitors to the e-Golf, but are available nationwide.
In order to give you, the reader, the best perspective on the many vehicles available, Clean Fleet Report has a variety of contributors. When possible, we will offer you multiple perspectives on a given vehicle. This comes under SRO-Second Road Test Opinion.

Why are there more Australian flags than usual flying today?
It is because it is Australian National Flag Day.
Australian National Flag Day celebrates the first time the flag was flown, over the dome of the Exhibition Building in Melbourne on 3 September 1901. On this day Australia's first Prime Minister, the Rt Hon Sir Edmund Barton, announced the winners of a competition to design a national flag for Australia.
3 September is an opportunity for all Australians to celebrate the anniversary of the Australian National Flag by flying or displaying the Flag.
Where facilities permit, organisations are encoraged multiple Australian National Flags on this day.
This day also marks Merchant Navy Day. It is an opportunity to remember the service and sacrifice of thousands of Australia's merchant mariners during wartime. Organisations and individuals commemorating Merchant Navy Day are invited to fly the Australian Red Ensign. When the Australian Red Ensign is flown along with the Australian National Flag, the Australian National Flag is flown in the position of honour.

When the iPhone first arrived, one of the coolest things that Apple did was to have Mobile Safari display a miniature view of an entire web site, allowing users to double tap and zoom into the portions of the site that they wanted to see. This clever solution to navigate large pages in a small screen came with a price.
If your site takes advantage of the double click functionality, when it is displayed on Mobile Safari you loose that capability, your clicks become touch events and the double click (double-tap) now belongs to the browser.
Adding double double tap is bit trickier. We need to measure the time between two consecutive touch events. If a user taps twice within 500 milliseconds (half a second), I can assume that the user meant double tap. Now keep in mind that two click/touch events are also fired. The trick is that we have to wait before we can fire a click/touch event and call our doubletap handler only if users click/tap very quickly.
// A click/touch action could be invoked here but wee need to wait half a second before doing so.
What I have done so far, is to determine the difference between the last touch and the current touch events. The first time that this code runs, both the current touch time and the last touch time are the same, so the delta is zero. At the end of the function I want to make sure that I update the value of the last touch to be equal to the current touch.
To determine how long we have to wait before we can tell that the user only tapped once, I added a timeout call declared outside of the touchend event handler. Every time that the touchend event is fired, I clear the action timeout which prevents the click/touch from happening. If the value of delta is less than 500 milliseconds (half a second) we can definitely invoke the doubletap code, but if delta is higher that 500 milliseconds the timeout is defined again and our click/touch code will be invoked in half a second.

Spat exposes GOP insensitivity to vets
The Capitol Hill curtains parted this week, offering an uncommon view of a behind-the-scenes spat that has pitted a House GOP leader against the chief of a mighty advocacy group and spurred Democrats to take gleeful advantage of the dispute.
And, igniting it all was an office clerk's apparent flub.
The sniping between House Committee on Veterans Affairs Chairman Steve Buyer, R-Ind., and Thomas Bock, the national commander of the 2.7 million-member American Legion, has centered on an annual event that Buyer has decided to kill.
For 50 years, military veterans by the hundreds have trekked to Capitol Hill for a hearing each September that is held by the House and Senate committees in charge of the issues and programs they hold dear.
Each September, veterans groups _ the American Legion, Veterans of Foreign Wars and Disabled American Veterans, to name a few _ have presented their views on what issues are foremost and what the upcoming budget should contain.
Mindful of the grass-roots clout the vets' groups wield, lawmakers commonly display deference and respect to the leaders of the organizations, and make a point of touting their own commitment to standing strong with veterans on health care and other benefit issues. The joint hearings of the House and Senate veterans affairs committees are must-attend events.
So, it came as a slap in the face to Bock to learn, via a letter from Buyer, that the joint hearings would be no more. Instead, Buyer said he intended to hold a series of hearings in February _ after the White House releases the administration budget for the year.
Buyer's decision came at a "veterans summit" he hosted Nov. 7 at Carlisle Barracks, Pa. The chairman informed Bock of the change in a Nov. 10 letter, which included a subtle dig at the Legion for not attending the meeting: "It is unfortunate that the American Legion chose not to send a representative," the letter said.
Turns out the reason for Bock's absence was a mistake by a committee clerk using outdated information. The Legion's invitation was addressed to a past president of the organization. By the time the error was detected, it was too late for Bock to rearrange his schedule and go.
In a Nov. 14 reply to Buyer, Bock blasted the chairman for his "condescending" dig, which Bock said the Legion's senior staff found "insulting and patronizing."
"You can say anything you want about me as a person and a veteran, but when you are communicating to the national commander of the American Legion, or any other veterans service organization, a modicum of respect is owed and, as far as we can tell, precious little was paid," Bock's letter said.
The commander was equally upset at the hearing changes Buyer instituted, charging they would dilute the ability of veterans groups to effectively advocate on health care and other matters.
Buyer, who took over the committee chairmanship when GOP leaders removed Rep. Chris Smith, R-N.J., in January, already was less than beloved by veterans groups. One reason Smith was ousted was that he regularly pushed for sweeter benefits and positions than those backed by the Bush administration, according to veterans-group insiders.
Buyer, currently a colonel in the Army Reserve yet big on holding the Department of Veterans Affairs accountable and minding the budget, said the change he sought for the hearing date is intended to enhance the effectiveness of the veterans' hearings.
Under the new schedule, they would come closer to the time that Capitol Hill receives the administration budget in January, he wrote.
"The current process does not take full advantage of your input, as your views come after major budget decisions already have been made," Buyer wrote. "This constructive reform will bring more accountability to the budget process and ensure that you have a greater input in the process."
That argument holds little water for Bock. "(T)he reason the American Legion testifies currently in September is so that our membership's views on the budget and other veterans' concerns will by noted by the president, (the Office of Management and Budget, Department of Veterans Affairs) and your committee four months before the administration's budget proposal is submitted to Congress," Bock wrote.
It wasn't long before Democrats on the House committee jumped in, siding with the Legion, vowing to hold their own hearings, and laying their pro-veteran language on thick.
"This type of open communication, particularly with a constituency as deserving and as vital as the veteran community, must continue to remain the hallmark of our democracy. We will not participate in the erosion of this critical process," said a Nov. 14 letter signed by all 12 Democratic members of the panel.
(They were Democratic Reps. Tom Udall of New Mexico; Ted Strickland of Ohio; Silvestre Reyes of Texas; Corrine Brown of Florida; Bob Filner of California; Lane Evans and Luis Gutierrez, both of Illinois; Vic Snyder of Arkansas; Michael Michaud of Maine; Stephanie Herseth of South Dakota; Darlene Hooley of Oregon; and Shelley Berkley of Nevada.)
The spat returned behind closed doors late this week, with Buyer and panel Democrats trying to negotiate a solution to the hearing controversy, according to Brooke Adams, a committee spokesman.

Salt Houses
Hala Alyan
Winner of the Dayton Literary Peace Prize and the Arab American Book Award
Named a Best Book of the Year by NPR * Nylon * Kirkus Reviews * Bustle * BookPage
"Moving and beautifully written." — Entertainment Weekly
On the eve of her daughter Alia's wedding, Salma reads the girl's future in a cup of coffee dregs. She sees an unsettled life for Alia and her children; she also sees travel, and luck. While she chooses to keep her predictions to herself that day, they will all soon come to pass when the family is uprooted in the wake of the Six-Day War of 1967.
Salma is forced to leave her home in Nablus; Alia's brother gets pulled into a politically militarized world he can't escape; and Alia and her gentle-spirited husband move to Kuwait City, where they reluctantly build a life with their three children. When Saddam Hussein invades Kuwait in 1990, Alia and her family once again lose their home, their land, and their story as they know it, scattering to Beirut, Paris, Boston, and beyond. Soon Alia's children begin families of their own, once again navigating the burdens (and blessings) of assimilation in foreign cities.
Lyrical and heartbreaking, Salt Houses is a remarkable debut novel that challenges and humanizes an age-old conflict we might think we understand—one that asks us to confront that most devastating of all truths: you can't go home again.


We've had smartphones and the smart home but nothing is going to come close to Hozelock's idea for the smart garden launching early next year.
The hose and all round watering specialists have a couple of ideas that will blow gardener's minds including a controller that switches on the sprinklers when you're not even in the country and customisable sensor controllers.
Heading up the range is the Hozelock Cloud Controller that when paired with a smartphone and app takes control of your hosepipe. The kit is powered by a low-power, long-range radio that connects to the internet and allows the user to turn on the watering at any time or simply create a schedule. It can even plug in to local weather data and change the watering pattern accordingly.
Complementing the cloud controller are two different sensor controllers that adjust to the time of the day. The Sensor Controller is ready to go straight out of the box and contains sensors that adjust to the time your garden needs to be watered. As the user, all you need to do is turn the dial to dawn, dusk or both and then adjust the duration of the watering to anywhere between two minutes and an hour.
The Sensor Controller Plus, meanwhile, has all the features of the regular Sensor Controller plus a range of additional frequency adjustments from daily to once a week. Hozelock has also debuted a new Easy Drip automatic watering system that makes it incredibly easy to water the entire garden at a consistent level.
The Cloud Controller is priced at £114.99, the Sensor Controller costs £35.99 or £44.99 for the Sensor Controller Plus and Easy Drip kits start at £32.99. All the products are slated to go on sale in January next year.

The Bachelor Season Finale Recap: Did Becca or Whitney Win Chris' Heart?
By Rebecca Iannucci / March 9 2015, 7:00 PM PDT
Two women enter, one woman leaves.
The rules of Thunderdome? Yes — but also the rules of The Bachelor's season finale, which on Monday found farmer Chris Soules choosing either Becca (The Virgin) or Whitney (The Babymaker) as his One True (and On-Camera) Love.
But which "lucky" lady earned Chris' final rose?
After two hours of agonizing over the decision before him, the Arlington, Iowa, native picked fertility nurse (and big-city resident) Whitney as the girl with whom he'd most like to appear on tabloid covers. And once Becca was set out on the curb for recycling (perhaps on Bachelor in Paradise?), he put a ring on Whitney.
But let's be honest with ourselves: Finding out who Chris chooses is a lot like watching the ball drop on New Year's Rockin' Eve. It's technically the moment we're all waiting for, but the journey ultimately becomes a lot more fun than the destination.
RELATED Scandal Stars Preview Gladiators' Return, State of the Olivia/Fitz Union
With that said, let's break down the most watercooler-worthy moments from The Bachelor's final hours:
* Prince Farming brings both ladies home to meet his family in Arlington, and maybe it's just because Whitney visits first, but the entire Soules clan is immediately head over heels for her. You know that moment in Looney Tunes when Pepé Le Pew's heart beats out of his chest? That's how Chris' family reacts to everything Whitney says, even when she admits in front of small children that she and Chris "made a baby" in the fertility lab. When she delivers a teary-eyed toast at the dinner table that night, you can practically hear the sweeping violins in the background. Meanwhile, after Becca's visit, the family is left feeling ambivalent about Becca's hesitation to uproot her entire life for a man she doesn't yet love. Whitney: 1; Becca: 0
* When Chris' family asks him to describe how Becca is different from Whitney, he can only come up with, "She's got great qualities," which include a good head on her shoulders and a concrete knowledge of what she wants in life. Romantic? Not really. Awkward? Very. But just when things are looking especially grim for Becca, Chris admits, "I know what I feel, and that's more important to me than what she's saying." Whitney: 1; Becca: 1
* Chris' last-chance dates with the girls are wildly different. On one hand, Chris takes Whitney to his farm so they can harvest corn together — not a euphemism. (And I do believe no one has ever been so excited to harvest corn as Whitney.) On the other hand, Becca's final date with Chris consists of a loooooong conversation in which she is unable to express what she really wants out of life — and, more importantly, her relationship with Chris — right now. Whitney: 2; Becca: 1
* When it comes time for Chris to make His Big Decision, his rejection of Becca goes about as smoothly as one could hope. In other words, I'm not so sure Becca knows she was rejected. But there's no time to dwell on that: While Becca is left to make awkward eye contact with a cameraman in the backseat of her limo, Chris pops the question to Whitney — a proposal she eagerly accepts.
* And let's not forget the After the Final Rose special, which didn't feature any Jason-dumping-Melissa-for-Molly-level drama, but wasn't without highlights in its own right. For one, the always-memorable Ashley S. insinuated she'll be on the next season of Bachelor in Paradise — if you can take a sentence like, "Yeah… I suppose I might be there…" to mean she'll be part of the cast.
OK, your turn. Did Chris make the right choice in Whitney? Cast your vote in our poll below, then hit the comments with your thoughts on the finale!

Unless you have an affection for polyester suits, tinsel streamers and mouldy office trailers, you're probably not missing the 1980s very much.
Back then, searching for a used car often meant kicking tires on small lots up and down Danforth Ave. and other Toronto thoroughfares that had been overrun by motley clusters of used-car dealers hawking their wares with grease pencils and sagging balloons.
Nothing says fly-by-night quite like a sales office on wheels.
"We've come a long, long way from the Danforth, which was the street that typified the business then," says Bob Pierce, director of member services for the Used Car Dealers Association of Ontario (UCDA).
While small, independent used-car lots may be hanging on, the used-vehicle business has changed dramatically over the past 25 years — and much of it for the better.
Automobiles are lasting much longer today, a benefit every one of our industry observers mentioned right off the top. A used vehicle can have a lengthy second life and a third one, too.
"Cars have improved dramatically both in terms of corrosion resistance and mechanically," says George Iny, president of the Automobile Protection Association.
Mohamed Bouchama, of CarHelpCanada.com and host of CP24's Auto Shop, says dealers today largely sell decent vehicles because the disclosure rules have shone a bright light on the bad practices of the past.
"It was a jungle back then. Dealers used to sell junk and there was no protection for the consumer," Bouchama maintains.
He rhymes off a litany of complaints of the time: rolled-back odometers, undeclared vehicle writeoffs, cross-province trade of wrecks, and the usual deceitful tactics, such as plugging leaky radiators with temporary sealant.
Pierce cites the formation of the self-regulating Ontario Motor Vehicle Industry Council (OMVIC) in 1997 as a key step in the development of a more ethical and transparent dealer industry.
It overhauled the Motor Vehicle Dealers Act, which came into effect in 2010, further strengthening disclosure obligations for both retailers and trade-in customers, as well as improving Compensation Fund claim coverage and specifying stiffer penalties.
Hand in hand with new regulations came mandatory training courses for dealers, says Pierce, partly to inform them of the changes, as well as to impart a more professional code of conduct.
But while the industry had been coerced reluctantly into the light of day, nothing prepared dealers for the advent of the Internet.
Not only were dealer inventories displayed online and search functions able to easily pinpoint desirable vehicles, there was also a cornucopia of reliability information as well as ownership experiences posted by consumers.
"Once upon a time, Phil Edmonston, author of the Lemon-Aid guides to new and used vehicles, cornered the market. But today, the Internet has exploded with information," says Derry.
In addition to good automotive information, new tools started appearing on the web, first in the hands of dealers, then migrating to consumers.
Even the wholesaling side adopted an e-business model using the Internet. Dealers no longer had to be present at an auction to buy inventory — online photos and detailed records allowed buyers to snap up vehicles remotely, saving time and money.
New-car dealers couldn't help but notice the used-car industry was changing — and so were public perceptions — and they were anxious to get in on the action.
"When I started in 1991, profit margins were 10 to 15 per cent on new cars. Today they're more like 5 to 8 per cent, thanks to unprecedented competition, especially in a big market like the GTA," says Derry.
With razor-thin margins on new product, many new-car dealers have bolstered their used-car operations, where profits easily could be double on each car sale.
"There's a real emphasis today on pre-owned, certified vehicles by new-car dealers, whereas 25 years ago, these vehicles were hidden at the back of the lot," Pierce says.
A big reason for the new focus on used vehicles was the rising popularity of leasing. New-car dealers had the pick of lease returns, as well as trade-ins, and could stock a fetching inventory of late-model used vehicles for discriminating shoppers.
Iny says leasing has presented an embarrassment of riches for new-car dealers, so much so that many lease returns end up going to auction where independent used-car dealers can pick them up for resale.
Over the past decade, shoppers have enjoyed unprecedented access to a large supply of three- to four-year-old used vehicles on independent lots at competitive prices, says Iny.
Derry points out the Canadian dollar's rise to parity with the U.S. greenback sent shock waves through the industry, putting downward pressure on new-car prices, which in turn impacted used-vehicle prices.
"Dealers were losing from $1,000 up to $6,000 on a vehicle overnight," says Derry, explaining that manufacturers' sticker-price adjustments caused resale values to ratchet downwards.
Without a substantial price gap between a new and used model, independent dealers risked seeing shoppers walking into a new-car store to buy a factory-fresh vehicle.
Seeing their profit-strapped dealers mining used-car sales for revenue streams, the manufacturers felt compelled to grease the wheels. Derry points out many automakers now offer low-rate factory financing on used models — a subsidy that was unheard of in the 1980s.
Factory-certified remarketing programs that subject used models to an inspection and reconditioning regimen is another innovation that extended the automaker's brand deeper into the used-car marketplace.
The used-car industry has grown and matured over the past quarter-century — but it still has a way to go.
As beneficial as the disclosure rules may be, the information is only as good as the record-keeping. Buyers are still getting partial data — a collision repair paid in cash may not appear on a CarProof report — and even consumers themselves are loath to disclose damage sustained by their trade-in.
"Buyers are liars" is an age-old industry saw that apparently still holds true.
Iny says the much-advertised "certified" reselling programs by manufacturers are not always up to snuff, since dealers have been known to cut corners.
"The carmakers have taken a hands-off approach to consumer complaints about certified vehicles, even when incompletely checked prior to sale," Iny charges.
The best protection, our experts agree, is the time-honoured practice of getting your prospective used vehicle inspected by a trusted, independent technician.
"Some dealers try to 'snow' the consumer into thinking a warranty replaces an inspection," Iny warns.
Bouchama says one issue that hasn't been addressed over the past 25 years is the province's woefully inadequate safety certification process, which inspects a handful of automobile safety systems, such as the brakes and suspension, but leaves newer technologies off the checklist.


Does Spell Sniper feat grant 10 ft range to touch spells?
@JeremyECrawford If a spellcaster takes the Spell Sniper feat, does the range increase apply to touch spells, granting them a 10 foot range?
@CMSLOPOrion @Vaaldin think he was thinking that they became ranged attacks i.e. ranged touch attacks from 3e They don't.
@JeremyECrawford @Vaaldin on that note though, why are touch attacks affected by armor in 5e?
@exentrik137 @VaaldinDoes it extend things like green flame blade to reach weapons, though? It does.

The Robert Leonard Company was a Massachusetts-based company run by brothers Robert and Richard Baron.
The company specialized in dresses, coats, and suits in a more conservative style.
The company's business quadrupled in the late 1960s when many women weren't comfortable wearing the new youthful mini-skirted styles. Diana Adler was the designer in the late 1960s. The Robert Leonard line was carried by high-end stores such as Lord & Taylor and Bonwit Teller.

Q: Write to DB after Controller has been disposed Situation
We have a controller where users can submit any number of E-Mail addresses to invite other (potential) members as friends. If an address is not found in the database, we send an E-Mail message to that user. Since the user does not has to wait for this process to complete in order to continue working this is done asynchronously.
Sending E-Mails can take a long time if servers respond slowly, are down or overloaded. The E-Mail sender should update the database according to the status received from the E-Mail server, so for example setting the friend request into "Error" state, when a permanent failure occurs, for example if the address does not exists. For this purpose, the E-Mail component implements the function SendImmediateAsync(From,To,Subject,Content,Callback,UserArg). After the message has been delivered (or it failed), the Callback is called with certain arguments about the Delivery state.
When it eventually calls the delegate, the DbContext object has already been disposed (since the controller has been too) and I cannot manually create a new one using new ApplicationDbContext() because there is no constructor that accepts a connection string.
Question
How can I write to the database long after the controller has been disposed? I have not yet figured out how to manually create a DbContext object for myself. An object of type ApplicationDbContext is passed to the constructor of the Controller and I hoped I could instantiate one for myself, but the Constructor has no arguments I can supply (for example connection string). I want to avoid to manually create an SQL Connection and assemble INSERT statements manually and would prefer to work with the entity model we have already set up.
Code
The code shows the affected segment only without any error checking for readability.
[Authorize]
public class MembersController : Controller
{
    private ApplicationDbContext _context;

    public MembersController(ApplicationDbContext context)
    {
        _context = context;
    }

    [HttpPost]
    [ValidateAntiForgeryToken]
    public IActionResult Friends()
    {
        MailHandler.SendImmediateAsync(FROM,TO,SUBJECT,CONTENT,
            delegate (Guid G, object any)
            {
                //THIS IS NOT WORKING BECAUSE _context IS DISPOSED
                var ctx = _context;

                Guid Result = (Guid)any; //user supplied argument

                if (G != Guid.Empty)
                {
                    ctx.MailConfirmation.Add(new MailConfirmation()
                    {
                        EntryId = Result,
                        For = EntryFor.FriendRequest,
                        Id = G
                    });

                    if (G == MailHandler.ErrorGuid)
                    {
                        var frq = _context.FriendRequest.SingleOrDefault(m => m.Id == Result);
                        frq.Status = FriendStatus.Error;
                        ctx.Update(frq);
                    }
                    ctx.SaveChanges();
                }
            }, req.Id);
        //rendering view
    }
}

A: Why not just pass the dbContext as the userArgs to your SendImmediateAsync?  Then the dbContext will not get disposed and can be passed back when you do the callback.  I'm pretty sure that should work.

A: First of all, when you are using EF Core with ASP.NET Core's dependency injection, each DbContext instance is scoped per-request, unless you have specified otherwise in ".AddDbContext". This means you should not attempt to re-use an instance of DbContext after that HTTP request has completed. See https://docs.asp.net/en/latest/fundamentals/dependency-injection.html#service-lifetimes-and-registration-options
DbContextOptions, on the other hand, are singletons and can be re-used across requests.
If you need to close the HTTP request and perform an action afterwards, you'll need to create a new DbContext scope an manage it's lifetime.
Second of all, you can overload DbContext's base constructor and pass in DbContextOptions directly. See https://docs.efproject.net/en/latest/miscellaneous/configuring-dbcontext.html
Together, this is what a solution might look like.
public class MembersController : Controller
{
    private DbContextOptions<ApplicationDbContext> _options;

    public MembersController(DbContextOptions<ApplicationDbContext> options)
    {
        _options = options;
    }

    [HttpPost]
    [ValidateAntiForgeryToken]
    public IActionResult Friends()
    {
        MailHandler.SendImmediateAsync(FROM,TO,SUBJECT,CONTENT, CreateDelegate(_options) req.Id);
    }

    private static Action<Guid, object> CreateDelegate(DbContextOptions<ApplicationDbContext> options)
    {
        return (G, any) =>
        {
            using (var context = new ApplicationDbContext(options))
            {
                //do work
                context.SaveChanges();
            }
        };
    }
}

public class ApplicationDbContext : DbContext
{
    public ApplicationDbContext(DbContextOptions<ApplicationDbContext> options) : base (options) { }

    // the rest of your stuff
}

This assumes, of course, that your "MailHandler" class is properly using concurrency to run the delegate so it doesn't block the thread processing the HTTP request.

Mesa loses NAFTA ruling
6 April 2016 by Diane Bailey
CANADA: A company owned by Texas tycoon T. Boone Pickens said it was evaluating its options after losing its claim it had been unfairly treated under Ontario's wind procurement process.
Ontario's parliament building — the state is fighting several lawsuits over its defunct FIT scheme
Mesa Power Group filed a C$653 million (US$497 million) case in 2011, alleging the Ontario government discriminated against the company in awarding contracts under the province's feed-in tariff (FIt) programme.
It made the claim under investor protection provisions in the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). The case was heard in October 2014 by an arbitration tribunal organised by the Netherlands-based Permanent Court of Arbitration, which ruled against Mesa in a split decision last week.
"While we respect the tribunal and its process, we do think they got this one wrong," said a Mesa spokesman.
The tribunal also decided Mesa will have to pay all the costs of the arbitration, amounting to C$2.9 million.
Ontario's government is still fighting other claims related to its now-defunct FIT program. A NAFTA tribunal held a hearing in February over a claim from US-based Windstream Energy, which is seeking up to C$568 million in damages after the province's moratorium on offshore wind farms led to cancellation of its FIT contract.
Trillium Power Wind Corporation is also suing Ontario over the offshore moratorium, with its C$500 million lawsuit expected to go trial this year.

Sylpheed's audacious million dollar bid?
Matt Cumani is embarking on an unprecedented plan to win Saturday's Magic Millions Trophy (2200m).
Cumani has accepted with his sprinting mare, Sylpheed, eleven days after she ran in the G3 Standish Handicap (1200m) down the Flemington straight.
The mare's past five starts have all been over six furlongs, but the Ballarat trainer has confirmed she will be taking her place in Saturday's $1million race on the Gold Coast.
The five year-old has just one owner, the Japanese-based Mr T Sekiguchi, and it appears he's the one calling the shots to step her out so far in trip.
"It's not exactly my first choice to have her in that race on Saturday," Cumani said from the Gold Coast.
"The owner has been very determined to have her in this race, so that's the plan we're going with, we don't get too much say.
"She's had two starts with us and in that time I haven't actually ever spoken to him directly, but have been informed that this is the path he wants to take," he said.
Cumani is the third trainer to stable the daughter of Real Saga, after stints with Toby Edmonds and Gai Waterhouse.
In that time the mare has never raced above a mile and never won at more than 1350m, so Saturday's 2200m poses an interesting test.
"It's not ideal, obviously the 2200m comes up a bit soon for her," Cumani said.
"But in the past two weeks we have been working on adapting her style of running with the plan to step out in trip, making sure she'll be relaxed.
"She's used to just charging flat-out from the barriers so we've had to calm her down for that a bit too," he said.
But Cumani agrees it's an interesting task having the five year-old step out so far in trip, he doesn't think she's as suited to the sprinting distances either.
"I think a mile will be her best distance, she showed in the Standish that she's not speedy enough for 1200m.
"She galloped over 1400m up here on the Gold Coast on Tuesday and was very good so we'll just have to see how she goes on Saturday.
"She's shown a lot of promise and I'm hopeful that if her owner and I can both have our interests met, she could end up being one of the best horses in my stable," Cumani said.
The Ballarat trainer might get the chance to express his interests to the owner in person this Saturday, with the possibility that he might make an appearance to watch Sylpheed on the Gold Coast.
"I'm told he might be there, we'll just have to wait and see," Cumani said.
"Her colours are orange, a colour that he loves apparently and I've heard that if he comes there's a good chance he'll be all dressed up in orange so keep an eye out for him.
"She's got a half-brother by Zoustar on sale here too this week, so you never know he might be coming to buy him as well," he said.


Atlanta, GA – Bow Wow's lawyer Joe S. Habachy has offered some perception into his shopper's current arrest. In an announcement obtained by RealStreetRadio, Habachy describes the incident between the Growing Up Hip Hop: Atlanta star and his former girlfriend Leslie Holden.
Although the altercation allegedly left each events with seen accidents, Habachy insists Bow Wow's arrest wasn't justified.
"Shad 'Bow Wow' Moss was wrongfully arrested earlier this morning for the primary time after being overwhelmed by an uncontrolled intoxicated feminine, Ms. Leslie Holden, in his Atlanta condominium," Habachy wrote. "The solely two unbiased witnesses each corroborated his model of occasions indicating that Ms. Holden was merely uncontrolled and was certainly the first aggressor.
Habachy ended his assertion by defending Bow Wow's character.
Bow Wow was arrested on Saturday morning (February 2) after officers have been dispatched to the scene. Because officers have been unable to find out who the true aggressor was, they in the end determined to arrest Bow Wow and Holden.
He was launched later that day after posting a $eight,000 bond.


"I am afraid that Peter's merits are not estimated enough in the scientific world. Therefore it seems to me necessary, not only to promote his concept here in Europe, but also to tell him that I acknowledge him as one of the most creative scientists in the Western world."
Here's an example of how a lectin agglutinates in the body. Let's say a Type A person eats a plate of lima beans. The lima beans are digested in the stomach through the process of acid hydrolysis. However, the lectin protein is resistant to acid hydrolysis. It doesn't get digested, but it stays intact. It may interact directly with the lining of the stomach or intestinal tract, or it may get absorbed into your blood stream along with the digested lima bean nutrients. Different lectins target different organs and body systems.
You may remember the bizarre assassination of Georgi Markov in 1978 on a London Street. Markov was killed by an unknown Soviet KGB agent while waiting for a bus. Initially, the autopsy could not pinpoint how it was done. After a thorough search, a tiny gold bead was found embedded in Markov's leg. The bead was found to be permeated with a chemical called ricin, which is a toxic lectin extracted from castor beans. Ricin is so potent an agglutinin that even an infinitesimally small amount can cause death by swiftly converting the body's red blood cells into large clots which block the arteries. Ricin kills instantaneously.
This is not to say that you should suddenly become fearful of every food you eat. After all, lectins are widely abundant in legumes, seafood, grains, and vegetables. It's hard to bypass them. The key is to avoid the lectins that agglutinate your particular cells—determined by your blood type. For example, wheat germ agglutinin, the most common lectin found in wheat, binds to the lining of the small intestine, causing substantial reactions and irritation in some blood types – especially Type O.
Many people with joint problems feel that avoiding the nightshade vegetables such as tomatoes, eggplant, and white potatoes seem to help their symptoms. That's not surprising, since most nightshades are very high in lectins.
Many molecules, including quite a few that are not found in foods, but rather manufactured by the body itself, can be categorized as lectins. These can be commonly found in the liver (galectins), with the immune (mannose binding protein) and in the serum (C-reactive protein). I have built a tool than you can use to explore various lectins and their classifications, if you wish to explore deeper.
Lots of nutrition books now talking about lectins. 'Eat Right' was the first, over twenty years ago. Nice to see they're catching up, but most conveniently don't mention that lectin specificity is often to a particular blood type antigen, or the fact that my work in lectins preceded theirs by over two decades. Giving dietary advice about lectins but not including blood type specificity is like giving just your city and state to someone who is asking for your mailing address. The letter is very unlikely to ever arrive!
Deflect is a natural product I designed composed of 'blocking sugars' designed to interfere with the adherence of troublesome dietary lectins. Since many lectins are ABO blood type specific, there are four different Deflect formulas: one for each blood type. The blocking sugars in Deflect can be considered 'sacrificial molecules' that attach to carbohydrate receptors on the lectins, rendering them unable to bind to the cells of the body. The Deflect formulas provide a source of free blocking amino sugars, which bind and block lectins before they can attach to the cells. Since each blood type is susceptible to lectins with different carbohydrate specificities, I designed formulas to block lectins by using mono and polysaccharides specific for each blood type.

Metis: Imaging Complex Onshore Areas
METIS, an Integrated Geophysical Acquisition System for Quality, Real-Time Imaging of Complex, Hard-to-Access Onshore Areas
On the cutting edge of 3D seismic imaging, Total has been focusing in recent years on breakthrough technologies to continuously improve the quality of subsurface images. To solve major problems related to geophysical imaging in areas of complex topography, the company has embarked an integrated geophysics and logistics R&D project called METIS, Multiphysics Exploration Technology Integrated System. METIS aims to improve the quality and speed of data acquisition through real-time quality control and processing, while at the same time slashing both the cost and HSE risks of operations. The ultimate purpose is to be able to build ever more predictive 3D models for our interpreters.
Florent Bertini
Geophysical imaging of the subsurface in hard-to-access topography is a major challenge for oil and gas exploration. Conventional acquisition and imaging techniques can be expensive and too hazardous in terms of HSE risk — in other words, impossible to use — in some hard-to-access areas. The result is significant uncertainty in any subsurface mapping; seismic imaging is often very poor quality. Hence the need to overhaul our thinking.
To address this, in summer 2014 we introduced the Multiphysics Exploration Technology Integrated System, or METIS, project. The goal is to develop within 10 years an integrated geophysical and logistics system to acquire, process and obtain in real time quality structural and quantitative data. This innovative approach should eventually multiply the value of information (VoI) of the data acquired in complex topography, enabling us to optimize field development, secure new exploration licenses or rejuvenate the interest of acreage relinquished in the past because of an inability to understand it.
Research & Development: Metis - Exploration Production - Total
A Novel, Holistic Wireless Acquisition System for Onshore Exploration
Complex topography is demanding in terms of geophysical data quality, turnaround times and costs. That's why METIS takes a holistic approach, combining the innovative use of Downfall Air Receiver Technology (DART) with intensive use of airships and drones. The new acquisition method, known as carpet recording, "carpets" the ground in the exploration area with DART wireless geophysical sensors — which are, as their name suggests, dart-shaped. The drone fleet can safely drop up to 400 receivers per square kilometer. All the seismic traces recorded are then sent in real time to the processing center. This density will deliver high-resolution images.
METIS can be adapted to accommodate all geological data, no matter how complex, in the field. It also minimizes logistics, which are every bit as vital for efficient, safe deployment. This fully simulates the acquisition-processing-imaging chain and allows for fit-for-purpose sensor density and measurement types. Adjustments required by freshly discovered ground conditions can be made directly as needed in the field.
Real-Time Processing and Shorter Turnaround Times
Various imaging techniques recorded at different scales are added to the conventional seismic acquisition. These include satellite or airborne data analysis (optical, radar, LiDAR and hyperspectral), electromagnetic and gravity techniques for the surface and near-surface, and magnetotelluric techniques for deep formations. METIS is being developed in partnership with two U.S. companies, SAExploration, an integrated services company, and Wireless Seismic, an equipment manufacturer.
METIS puts interpreters in the driver's seat, since they'll be able to assess the quality of the data acquired and the illumination of the geological formation directly and locally, allowing them to adjust and optimize the acquisition plan in real time based on results. This will significantly shorten the time between completing data acquisition and finalizing the geoscientific processing, offering benefits when evaluating prospects and making the final decision. Finally, METIS will give more time to interpret and mature our prospects. As the saying goes, "Tempus Omnia Revelat" (time reveals all things).
Sharply Enhanced Imaging of Complex Topography
Satellite data are used to precisely model the surface beforehand.
Other airborne methods are then deployed to model the near-surface, including seismic wave propagation, LiDAR and electromagnetic and gravity techniques.
METIS's acquisition design uses 3D elastic modeling in particular.
The first-generation DART prototype weighs 700 grams and is 50 centimeters long. It is wireless and made of biodegradable polylactic acid (PLA), a type of plastic. It will eventually be entirely biodegradable (electronics, battery, etc.).
4,000 DART sensors can be deployed in a day, with results already comparable to conventional sensors.
Green Seismics: An Application in Papua New Guinea Onshore Exploration
METIS will also address environmental issues by lessening the impact of seismic surveys in complex areas. Chief among them are fold and thrust belts in foothills.
So that will be one of the challenges of the small-scale pilot that will be conducted this year in Papua New Guinea, where onshore acquisition is impeded by nearly impenetrable virgin rainforest. To compensate, the apertures for seismic acquisition in such areas have traditionally used bridging. Despite the environmental impact, the resulting subsurface imaging often isn't precise enough. We expect METIS to reduce apertures by a factor of 1 in 15 compared to conventional methods. That will be followed by an industrial test covering 100 square kilometers on PRL15 (Elk Antelope) in 2021.
Airborne Logistics, a Key Component of the METIS System
Seismic surveys require ferrying heavy equipment to the exploration areas. To develop a more eco-friendly approach, Total researchers teamed up with the French start-up "Flying Whales" to create the HA2t (Hybrid Airship 2 tons), a multipurpose inflatable that helps helicopters with logistics support. Also used for non-seismic acquisition, this new kind of airship will additionally serve as a shuttle between the exploration area and the base camp.

KABUL (Pajhwok): Afghan authorities on Wednesday admitted Afghanistan remained deprived of benefits the Transports Internationaux Routiers or International Road Transports (TIR) offered to its member states.
TIR, an international customs transit system for goods carried by road, facilitates international movement of goods across the borders of countries that have ratified the TIR Convention, while offering a high level of security.
The TIR System enables door-to-door transport with minimum interference at the international borders of contracting parties to the TIR Convention and thus serves, in the best possible way.
Afghanistan joined TIR Convention in 1976 but has since been not able to benefit from the system due to decades of war.
However, on September 4, 2013, the TIR was re-launched in Afghanistan and now Afghanistan is 58th country to enjoy facilitated and secure trade by the TIR system.
Mohammad Younus Momand, the Afghanistan Chamber of Commerce and Industries (ACCI) deputy head, on Wednesday told a 'TIR National Awarness Conference' here that Afghanistan lacked a specific policy to benefit from the TIR system.
He cited weak support from institutions involved and lack of awareness among drivers about the system as reasons the system could not be properly utilized.
He said TIR's implementation and ensuring security for goods' transfer would create job opportunities.
He said the conference on TIR was aimed at spreading awareness about the system and its implementation. Momand asked relevant organs to make serious efforts at implementing the system.
Momand also called upon security organs to ensure security on roads which could be used for TIR system.
Sayed Wali Sultan, deputy minister of transport and civil aviation, also spoke on the occasion, saying the TIR's re-launch and complete implementation was a priority of the government.
He said the system's execution would rescue Afghan trucks from extensive and time-consuming border checks at borders.
From 2013 up till now, about 17 lorries of commercial goods had been sent abroad and in exchange about 1,125 lorries entered the country under the TIR system, he said.
He said most companies were still not up to international standard and needed a lot of work.
Sultan believed awareness among officials and security on roads could help better implement the system in Afghanistan.
According to his information, currently dry-ports of Afghanistan such as Torkham of Nangarhar, Sher Khan of Kunduz, Spin Boldak of Kandahar, and Islam Qala of Herat and Nimroz should be used for utilizing TIR system.
