New sales director UK & Ireland at Alexander Dennis
By Eoin Cuttle News 0 Comments
Alexander Dennis Limited (ADL) has appointed Martin Brailey to the role of Sales Director UK & Ireland.
Martin Brailey
Brailey has 30 years' experience in the bus and coach industry, the last 13 of which have been in the role of sales director for London, where ADL says he built a strong reputation and played a key role in significantly increasing its market share.
He has been promoted to the role previously held by Arthur Whiteside, who retired towards the end of 2019.
ADL says Brailey will be supported by a strong management team, including Richard Matthews, who will continue to lead the retail sales team, and Keith Watson, who will continue in his sales development role ensuring technology developments are aligned to customer requirements while also taking a more active role in overseeing a number of key accounts.
Additionally, the firm says Billy McFie will relinquish some of his back office duties to play a lead role in ensuring the sales team and ADL customers are provided with the optimal financial and commercial packages to suit their requirements.
ADL president and managing director, Paul Davies says: "This is an exciting development for Martin and the team as we refocus following the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on our industry.
"I am confident we have the right team in place to support our customers and partners to build back the bus industry, encourage passengers on board and help the nation to get moving again."

If you are frustrated by talk of a Metallica album not arriving before 2015, you're not alone. Frontman James Hetfield is equally anxious to have a new album to support, but the reality of the situation is that the band's schedule is keeping them from getting to it.
Hetfield told Billboard, "I want it done yesterday and [Orion Music + More] and this movie is keeping us pretty busy at this point and it's taking a lot of time and effort. We've been touring some obscure places. I guess basically what we're trying to do is pay for this movie, so touring is keeping us from getting in there and finishing the record. Right now the focus is the movie."
The frontman adds that the group has begun sorting through their "riffs CD," but admits, "We've gone through maybe one-tenth of the material ... We've got enough for an album. We just haven't had enough time to really focus on it and dial it in and start whittling it into these masterpieces hopefully."
But first up for the band is finishing their 'Metallica Through the Never' 3D film. Hetfield confirms, "The film is not done, but we're extremely close. There's editing, dialing, sounds, mixing, things like that that have to happen. But it's pretty complex. It's like three movies in one ... So there's a lot of different dynamics happening within this movie, and every time we go and see it and tweak here and there. It's like putting a song together -- only it's a little more expensive."
The film is expected to premiere in IMAX theaters this September.

We also accept the following discount plans: Cigna Savings and Aetna Savings.
We accept CareCredit for our patients without dental insurance.
If your dental insurance is with a provider that we do not participate with please note that most insurance companies allow for out of network providers and we will provide you with a doctor's statement to send to your insurance for reimbursement. We are pleased to be able to offer Care Credit with 6 months free financing for all treatments over $200.
Payment is required at time of treatment, unless other plans were made in advance. We provide several means of payment for your convenience and budget. You can pay with personal checks, cash, and a wide range of debit and credit cards. We are also partners with CareCredit.
We will file your insurance claims for you if all your insurance data are ready on the day of your visit. Make sure you familiarize yourself with the details of your insurance benefits, because we will need you to make payment for the portion of treatment your insurance does not cover.
Your insurance company is required by law to redeem each claim, not later than 30 days after receipt. We process claims promptly and get in touch with your insurance company shortly following treatment. It is your responsibility to settle all outstanding bills on your account after 30 days of treatment, whether your insurance company has paid or not.
Please note it is not our responsibility to file insurance claims but we do so as a service to our patients. We have no authority over how and when your insurance company processes your claims. We can only help you determine what portion of treatment your insurance does not cover.
Dental insurance is designed to help with accessing quality dental care. It by no means suggests complete coverage of your dental treatment bills. In general, insurance covers only fifty to eighty percent of treatment. The actual coverage varies from one company to the next. The percentage of coverage depends on the type of insurance policy your employer has with the insurance company, and the premium you or your employer has paid for this policy.
It is entirely up to your insurance company to determine the percentage of treatment cost reimbursed to you or your dentist after processing your claim. Sometimes, the reimbursement comes at a rate lower than the dentist charged. Most often, insurance companies state that the dental office charge was above the insurance company's acceptable UCR (usual, customary, or reasonable fee).
This gives the false impression that your dentist is charging more for similar treatments among dentists in the same location. This is simply not true. More realistically, the insurance company is underpaying their insurance obligation. In general, a low UCR quote is associated with a less expensive insurance policy.
Make sure you understand your role in payment of your insurance claims, and how to calculate the variables. Let us assume that the treatment fee is $250.00, and your insurance company has a UCR fee of $250.00. This gives us an idea of what will be paid as benefits. The first computation you will apply to the fee is the amount you are expected to bear – this is usually $50.00. This amount is deducted, leaving a balance of $200.00. If the insurance company will pay 80% for this treatment, it does not mean 80% of the treatment fee. The 80% is on the remaining amount after the deductible has been applied, in this case, 80% of $200.00, which is $160.00. Therefore, out of a bill of $250.00, the insurance will cover $160.00, leaving the rest ($90) to be borne by the patient. Kindly note that this figure depends on the UCR the insurance company uses. If the UCR is less than the treatment fee of $250.00, or your policy only covers 60%, the amount that makes up your insurance benefits will be comparatively lower.

DJ Chus, one half of the Spanish deejay duo Chus & Ceballos, known throughout the club world, as one of the most amazing DJ/production pairs are headed to DC. DJ Chus is in high need in the worldwide electronic music circuit will be carrying out live Thursday November 3 Radiance at Lima.
You do not have to stop with simply managing electronics manufacturing. You can send out information back to the computer system to control software application such as Processing and Max/MSP. You can send out the data over USB with many designs. Some models have Bluetooth and Ethernet ports, and with an additional shields (like an add-on unit) you can communicate via WiFi and other procedures.
When you change on the electric razor, batteries supply power to a circuitry printed on a fiber glass board called as electronic circuit boards (PCB). PCB assists arrange circuits without screwing up with the moving parts like motor and gears. PCB is an intelligent circuit which chooses whether batteries need charging and if the battery is charging.
Now you can reinstall the printed circuit board into the case or enclosure you removed it from. When you re-install the printed circuit board make sure there are no points where the circuit solder joints can short out or ground to the case. There are a lot of transistors and Integrated circuits that generate a lot of heat. Ensure to re-install the heat sinks and cooling fans. To get maximum cooling you will require to coat the heat sinks with silicone grease before installing. Thanks for looking.
The next action is to pick either a mechanical music playing device, or an electronic one. You'll also need to choose a music-producing device that plays the tune of your picking. If you're constructing this homemade music box on your own, you can just pick among your preferred tunes. If you're building this box as a gift to provide to someone else, select their preferred song. Or, if you're developing this as an anniversary present for your better half, for example, you can select the first song you danced to, the tune that was played at your wedding event, et cetera. You get the idea.
It is preferable to use toner transfer technique while you are going to make your own board. Initially you require to print the design utilizing your laser printer so that you can transfer them into the board. It is better to print it in an image paper or magazine paper as this printed toner will remain on the paper surface. Otherwise the transfer may not be dependable as the toner might stick in the routine paper fibers.
Power tools was born in 1895 on the planet. It is to begin with the drill product. In the world, the very first direct current drill was established by Fein business of Germany. This electrical drill weight of 14 kg, the housing is made from cast iron, only 4 mm steel plate drilling holes. Followed three-phase power electrical drill frequency (50Hz) had emerged. However electrical drill motor speed could not breakthrough 3000r/min.

CMMG lower parts kit is designed for AR-15 lowers, kit includes a pistol grip, fire control trigger, and pins required to complete a stripped lower.
Stop loosing your mind trying to hammer in oversize and out of spec pins, save your lowers finish and preserve your mental health by buying it right the first time.
Fits perfectly. Trigger pull was 6 lbs.
Kit has it all for the lower. Installed easily. Fits perfectly. After it was all done and lubed I tested the pull. It broke at exactly 6 lbs. I couldn't believe it so I tried it several times. Same results! Not gritty but nice and smooth trigger pull. I'll buy it again for my next build.
I ordered 2 of these kits had finish 2 lowers I had sitting in the safe. I was actually surprised how fast I got them. They came in a small box and the springs and little parts was in separate zip lock bags (in the cmmg box). I've already installed and the fit and finish is great, much better than the psa and armalite LPKs. I will definitely be ordering more to keep on hand the way things are going.
Fit great, pins were good size and not to much work to get in. Shipping was FAST! Nice trigegr pull without going crazy with match stuff.

We are what we breathe: environmental factors in biological ageing
The Journals of Gerontology: Series A
The Journals of Gerontology, Series A® is a monthly journal of The Gerontological Society of America that publishes within its covers the Journal of Gerontology: Biological Sciences and the Journal of Gerontology: Medical Sciences.
By Yanfei Guo and Fan Wu
The world's population is aging. For the first time ever there are more people over 65 than under five, according to the World Health Organization. By 2050, the world's population of people aged 60 years and older will double. The number of persons aged 80 years or older is expected to triple between 2020 and 2050. There are two potential trends behind population aging: falling fertility and rising life expectancy. In a sense, population aging is a great achievement in the development of human society, but it is also linked to unanticipated and unprecedented medical and public health challenges. In particular, premature decline in physical function poses a threat to elderly pursuit of healthy aging.
Chronological age has always been how we define age. It does not, however, give a good indication of the degree of biological aging of individual—that is why you often see people who appear younger than they really are. Frailty is a good indicator of biological aging. It is a common geriatric syndrome characterized by multi-system impairments, along with a reduced capacity to resist external stressors. Imagine a young person or a middle-aged person who has experienced something bad, they will most likely recover quickly, whereas if the same thing happens to an older person, it is likely that they will never recover, or even be hospitalised or die, and this could be caused by frailty. Frailty is very common in the elderly population. Mounting evidence indicates a connection between frailty and environmental health which is crucial for understanding biological aging.
Environmental factors have been considered a global threat to accelerated biological aging. However, the effects of environmental pollutants on frailty have long been understudied, which raises concerns that one of the most vulnerable population groups may not be adequately protected from environmental exposures that young people are more likely to tolerate. Although previous studies have revealed mechanisms of pollutant damage in humans from the molecular level to the individual level, clarifying the relationship between environmental particulate matter (PM) exposure and frailty at the population level is not an easy task because there are two prerequisites to achieve this goal: first, a sample of the study population that is as widely distributed as possible, and second, a precise exposure data of PM that can be linked to the study sample population.
Research findings for environmental impact on aging
In our research, we have used a unique sample of six middle-income countries—China, Ghana, India, Mexico, Russian Federation, and South Africa—across four continents to make our study more representative and have used NASA satellite remote sensing data for environmental pollutant exposure assessment. On this basis, we tried to find the evidence connecting long-term exposure to ambient ambient PM2.5—small particles in the air that are 2.5 micrometers (about 1 ten-thousandth of an inch) or less in diameter, which can penetrate deeply into the lung—with frailty in the elderly population. Our findings may reveal two disturbing facts:
Among the six middle-income countries, particulate air pollution is much worse in China and India. Considering China and India account for 37 % of the world's population, and both populations are aging rapidly, older people in these countries face age-related decline in function that requires special attention.
Particulate air pollution is associated with increased risk of frailty, but this association occurs only in rural areas. We do not yet know exactly the cause of this inconsistency—especially with the widespread media coverage of urban pollution in Beijing and New Delhi, for example—but could be related to the type of employment. Public health and policy measures would be crucial in preventing air pollution. Differences in how the policy is implemented and monitored in urban and rural areas may contribute to the differences. On the other hand, healthcare access and supply often differ between urban and rural areas in middle-income countries and may play a role in compensating for health loss caused by environmental pollution.
How can we help people live longer in good health?
Almost all environmental factors that have a deleterious effect on aging are modifiable, which is very relevant for delaying and reducing frailty through primary prevention measures. If we want to see more people age successfully, if we want to live a longer life in good health, individual-level efforts can make some difference, but over the long haul all that really matters is global coordination to change our current energy mix to reduce pollutant emissions, innovation to promote the widespread use of accessible clean energy, and strong policies to regulate.
May is Air Quality Awareness Month in the United States. While the current global pandemic and major geopolitical events have severely challenged our ambitions in addressing air pollution, it is still an opportunity to encourage people to take positive steps to improve the air quality.

The conventional objections to DeGrowth boil down to: it isn't the status quo, so it can't work. Actually, it's the status quo that isn't working.
2. Better rather than more: well-being is increased by everything that cannot be commoditized by a market economy or financialized by a cartel-state financial machine– friendship, family, community, self-cultivation. The goal of economic and social growth should be better, not more. On a national scale, the cancerous-growth measured by gross domestic product (GDP) should be replaced with gross domestic happiness/ gross national happiness (GNH) .
3. A recognition that resources are not infinite, despite claims to the contrary. For one example of many: China Is Plundering the Planet's Seas  (The Atlantic). Indeed, all the evidence suggests that access to cheap energy only speeds up the depletion and despoliation of every other resource.
5. The diminishing returns on private consumption and "bridges to nowhere" (crony-capitalist public consumption).
Degrowth is heresy in what John Michael Greer calls the religion of progress  (i.e. growth). The faith that growth equals progress is akin to the Cargo Cult of Keynesianism, the notion that expanding debt exponentially to drive diminishing returns of growth is not only necessary but a moral imperative.
1. If we don't change the way we create and distribute money, we change nothing .
2. Not everything that is valuable is profitable, and so maximizing profit is not the sole arbiter of "value," nor is it a sound process for allocating labor and capital for everything that has value but isn't profitable.
DeGrowth requires two intertwined systems: a decentralized, localized, globally connected network of self-organizing productive "tribes" whose labor generates a global labor-backed crypto-currency.
I describe such a system in my book A Radically Beneficial World: Automation, Technology & Creating Jobs for All .
DeGrowth is coming whether we like it or not or plan for it or not. Our choice is to blind ourselves to the implosion of the "growth" status quo and squander the opportunity to create an economic system that thrives in DeGrowth, or accept the end-game of financialized "growth" and embrace the technological tools that enable decentralized, localized, globally connected networks funded by a labor-backed crypto-currency.
The conventional objections to DeGrowth boil down to: it isn't the status quo, so it can't possibly work. Actually, it's the status quo that isn't working, and DeGrowth is the result of that simple yet profound reality.

Many people think that love turns off eventually, that living with a person after marriage might turn into a routine, but if this happens, it is because it was never true love, because true love never ends and its flame never goes out, and not even a routine will let a couple which is in love get tired of being together.
This is because the couple has known how to keep the flame of love burning day after day. Beautiful words have a great power within a relationship. Love needs to be fed, just like you do. We guarantee you that your wife is waiting to hear new things from you, her great love. Here we leave you some phrases so you can send and dedicate them to your wife in order to keep your love alive. Take a look.
"My love, I remember like if it was yesterday the first time I saw you, that day I was such a happy man, because I met the love of my life, and somehow I knew that we were going to be together since then. So many years have passed already, and we still love each other as if it was that day. Our love will never disappear. I send you a big kiss, my love; remember that I will always be with you. I love you."
"After so many years of marriage, I still cannot explain exactly what I feel for you, I just know that this feeling is something stronger than love, it is something that makes me want to be close to you, to protect you, support you and give you all my affection. Thanks for sharing with me so many things in life. I love you so much."
"Honey, after all this years, I still love you so much, and I will love you until the end of times. I adore you, I love you, and I promise, as I told you on the day of our marriage, I will be faithful to you, not until death breaks us part, but for all eternity, because not even death shall separate us. I love you, my love."
"We have been married for so long, and it all started with a sample of true love. That is why I always tell you that my treasure, my safe, my heart is yours, because it is within you, and yours is within me. I love you, my love; I will be with you forever and ever".
"By your side, I found true happiness; I found the love I was waiting for. I am what I am because of you, and thanks to that I will always be happy. I love you so much, love of my life, and I always will, because it is very hard to make this feeling go away, because if this love already lasted more than 20 years, I know it will keep going on for many years more, until the end. I love you."
"My life by your side is a treasure, it is so nice to see you wake up next to me, it is a treasure to eat breakfast together, work together, have fun and play together, I am sure that nothing will take away the happiness we are living, do you remember when was the last time we discussed? It was so long ago that I promised you only joys, and now our lives are only happiness and love, and I still love you like the first day. I adore you, love of my life."
Those who are truly in love will always be together loving each other and sharing mutual respect, because true love never ends. Good luck to every married couple, you already have a beautiful life, you are all greatly blessed for having someone on your side who truly loves you. Come back soon for more love phrases. Love is what the world needs now more than ever. See you soon!

Police Commissioner Bill Bratton said on Thursday he would not have taken the city's top cop job if he couldn't bring former CBS investigative journalist John Miller with him.
"I would not have, quite frankly," Bratton told CBS This Morning's Charlie Rose in an appearance with Miller.
"I would have urged him to do it," Miller quickly added.
But when Rose pressed again, Bratton insisted this was the case, repeating, "I would not have, no."
Bratton spent most of the interview gushing over his new spokesman's "phenomenal job in counter-terrorism" in a love-in appearance on the television show where Miller once contributed as a senior correspondent.
"Cause he's the best," Bratton said. "There are two issues facing New York City all the time, dealing with crime and dealing with disorder, traditional and because we are the most likely terrorist target in the world, concerns about terrorism."
"While he's best known for his journalism and journalistic credentials, John is the best in terms of dealing with this issue of counter-terrorism intelligence and most importantly for me collaboration," he said. "Look at all the hats he wore FBI, DNI."
Miller worked as an investigative journalist at WNBC New York, as Bratton's chief spokesman at the NYPD, as a correspondent for ABC News, and again served under Bratton as chief of counter-terrorism and criminal intelligence at the Los Angeles Police Department.
Most recently he has been known for his intelligence reporting with CBS News, including a recent puff piece about the National Security Agency for 60 Minutes.
Rose pressed Miller on whether he was short on qualifications held by his predecessor, David Cohen, who served four decades doing counter-terrorism work for the NYPD.
But even Rose couldn't criticize his former colleague too much.
"One of the things we loved having you here was the fact you had contacts across the spectrum in law enforcement," Rose said.

Summer 2017/ 5777
Part of issue number:
Translation 2017
Rokhl Korn was born in Galicia, Poland, in 1898 and began publishing poems there at the age of twenty-one. Her family fled to Vienna during World War I. When Korn returned to Poland, she became affiliated with Tsushtayer, a Yiddish literary journal. In the 1920s and 1930s she published two poetry collections and a book of short stories. In 1941, she was evacuated to Uzbekistan and later Moscow. She wrote all through the war, and the poems published here first appeared in a 1948 issue of Heym un heymlozikayt, a journal in Buenos Aires; they were all written during the war years. At the war's end she returned briefly to Poland and then to Sweden, where she was invited to a PEN conference. She settled in Montreal in 1948, where she continued her literary activities until her death in 1982.
Springtime Back Home
The first rays of daylight slice the streets open,
still fragrant with fresh bread.
In the east, the ripe fruit of the sky splits open
parted by that glowing red seed.
The last shadows of the night
curl up behind the alleyways,
like the clothes of a wanderer, who after a long voyage
has brought his longing to harbor.
The green swords of irises
spear upward into the spring sky,
which drops down in soft, gray clouds
as if wanting to make some ancient dream come true,
an age-old dream of the earth
conquering the high heavens.
The trees are armed with the dynamite
of folded blossoms,
awaiting the first signal,
set off by sunbeams.
The early morning plays
its gentle ringing melody
on the golden violin strings
of a flying bee
seeking the heart of the tree.
The first sour-cherry blossom
unfurled,
immodest,
wrinkled,
like a girl's white dress at playtime,
snagged at the seam,
a white dream.
May 1941, Przemysl
Seems It Had to Be
Seems it had to be that I should,
with a sole shirt on my body,
a last pair of torn shoes on my feet,
roam thousands of miles over a friendless wilderness.
Every doorstep and entryway greets me with suspicion,
nor will I have the familiarity of home, warm walls,
no fire in the kitchen prepared for me,
nor the smile of a mother turned toward me.
Let the bare plank, that is both bed and pillow,
be harder than a rock under my head
so that even blue dreams elude me,
reaching up, like a golden ladder, to the distant plain of the sky.
It seems it ought to have been so,
that behind me fires would burn road and bridge.
Let my glance, if it struggles to look back
turn me into a pillar of salt.
May it come to dust and may it come to ash,
All the work and toil of my years
But let me be, with every new poem,
like you, my God, with each spring, reborn.
September 1941, Ufa

Q: Custom Xgboost Hyperparameter tuning I use the following code to tune parameters for my Xgboost implementation adapted from here:
searchGridSubCol <- expand.grid(subsample = c(0.5, 0.75, 1),
                                colsample_bytree = c(0.6, 0.8, 1))
ntrees <- 100

#Build a xgb.DMatrix object
#DMMatrixTrain <- xgb.DMatrix(data = yourMatrix, label = yourTarget)

rmseErrorsHyperparameters <- apply(searchGridSubCol, 1, function(parameterList){

  #Extract Parameters to test
  currentSubsampleRate <- parameterList[["subsample"]]
  currentColsampleRate <- parameterList[["colsample_bytree"]]

  xgboostModelCV <- xgb.cv(data = as.matrix(train), nrounds = ntrees, nfold = 5, showsd = TRUE, label = traintarget,
                           metrics = "rmse", verbose = TRUE, "eval_metric" = "rmse",
                           "objective" = "reg:linear", "max.depth" = 15, "eta" = 2/ntrees,

  xvalidationScores <- as.data.frame(xgboostModelCV)
  #Save rmse of the last iteration
  rmse <- tail(xvalidationScores$test.rmse.mean, 1)

  return(c(rmse, currentSubsampleRate, currentColsampleRate))

})

However I recieve the following error when storing the XGBoostModelCV:
 Error in as.data.frame.default(xgboostModelCV) :
  cannot coerce class ""xgb.cv.synchronous"" to a data.frame

Can someone explain to me what is causing this error and how may I fix it?

A: The above should be fixed by:
xvalidationScores <- xgboostModelCV
#Save rmse of the last iteration
rmse <- tail(xvalidationScores$evaluation_log$test_rmse_mean, 1)

3 takeaways from Florida State football's loss to Virginia
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. - Florida State gave it everything it had against Virginia.
But FSU came up just short of the victory it desperately needed.
The Seminoles (1-2) fell 31-24 to the Cavaliers (3-0) in front of a raucous crowd of 57,820 fans at Scott Stadium in Charlottesville, Va. Saturday.
"I thought our guys played hard but we still didn't play enough winning football to get the win," FSU coach Willie Taggart said.
"I thought they played hard and it was good to see out of our guys but we didn't make some plays in the 4th quarter that we have to make in order to win the ballgame. But I thought they played hard and gave ourselves the chance to win the ballgame and we just didn't get it done."
FSU held a 24-17 advantage over Virginia with just over six minutes remaining before the Cavaliers scored two touchdowns in the next four minutes to take a 31-24 lead.
FSU had its opportunity to tie the game, but fell four yards short as time expired.
Even with 59 penalty yards on the final drive of the game, the Seminoles couldn't take advantage.
Akers took a direct snap from the 4-yard line, but he was ultimately brought down despite a valiant effort. There was a lot of confusion on the final play as the Seminoles struggled to figure out what they were supposed to be doing.
"It was a great play call," FSU QB James Blackman said.
"We just didn't execute it. Everyone tried their hardest to execute the play. Cam made a great effort trying to get it to that endzone. He was going to fight his hardest."

Florida State football vs. Virginia video highlights, score
FSU's defense had multiple penalties that moved the Cavaliers down the field on their game-winning drive, including a targeting that saw freshman cornerback Renardo Green get ejected.
Virginia improved to 3-0 for the first time since 2005, and fans stormed the field when the game ended.
The Seminoles played like the better team for most of the night but couldn't sustain it for 60 minutes, They have started the season 1-2 for the third consecutive year.
FSU's defense allowed over 200 yards and three touchdowns on Virginia's last three drives to blow another second-half lead.
The defense came to play early
FSU's defense has been ridiculed relentlessly through the first two weeks of the season.
But the defense showed up early against the Cavaliers.
FSU allowed 21 points and 415 yards, but for a defense that allowed 40 points per game and over 1,000 combined yards to Boise State and Louisiana-Monroe, it was an improvement.
"We did a better job stopping the run and I think whenever you can slow them down running the ball it gives you a chance," Taggart said.
"We didn't do a good job in the passing game like we should have in this game. They played better but we still can get better than where we're at."
UVA wasn't able to run the ball effectively, which had been one of the biggest issues for the Seminoles. The Cavaliers averaged 3.8 yards per carry and finished with 120 rushing yards.
UVA running back Wayne Taulapapa accounted for three touchdowns, but averaged 2.9 yards per carry.
"The combination between (Taulapapa) and Bryce (Perkins) in the short-yardage situations, they just wouldn't be stopped," UVA coach Bronco Mendenhall said.
"It wasn't pretty necessarily, but short-yardage isn't really pretty football. But it was effective football. I really liked what I saw from Wayne."
UVA quarterback Bryce Perkins made some great plays with his legs. He extended plays and put a ton of pressure on the FSU defense.
For the most part, FSU held up well against that pressure.
Perkins finished the game 30-for-41 for 295 yards with a touchdown and two interceptions. He completed 17 of his 19 pass attempts in the second half for 157 yards and a touchdown. He had two interceptions in the first half.
"He's a special athlete," defesnive tackle Cory Durden said.
"It was not that he was tough to bring down. He is just versatile, a typical running quarterback. Getting used to that is tough."
The defense did a really good job of stringing running plays out sideline-to-sideline and swarmed to the ball.
There were some lapses in coverage, but what FSU put on the field against Virginia was much better than anyone expected, at least through the first three quarters.
Offense can't finish
FSU's offense moved the ball well throughout the game, but didn't close out drives.
FSU had seven drives of six plays or more, but only put up 17 points on those drives.
When UVA tied the game at 17 in the fourth quarter, FSU marched right down the field with big plays by redshirt sophomore Tamorrion Terry, Tre' McKitty, and Keyshawn Helton.
When the Cavaliers answered with a touchdown -- and a missed extra point -- to make it 24-23, FSU's offense went three-and-out.
"We're a team that believes in total effort, just outlasting our opponents," UVA cornerback Nick Grant.
"So the situation wasn't too big for defense or for anybody. So we were just in position and ready to play whatever they had."
The offense couldn't get anything going on the final drive, but moved down the field thanks to penalties.
Quarterback James Blackman struggled to find his accuracy at the beginning of the game, but settled in well and made some really nice plays on the run to extend drives.
Blackman finished the game 22-for-37 for 234 yards and three touchdowns. His second touchdown pass to Cam Akers came from him buying extra time with his legs and keeping his eyes downfield with pressure in his face.
The FSU offense made some big plays in the running game, including a 36-yard run by redshirt sophomore Khalan Laborn, but was mostly bottled up.
Akers only had 18 carries in the game after receiving 36 carries against ULM. He finished with 78 yards.

The servicing of sanitary plumbing (piping linked to waste-elimination from toilets, bathrooms and kitchens) is rendered more complex, due to the offshore situation.
Over time, the efficacy of sanitary tubing can become compromised, as a result of scaling caused by calcium deposits, which reduces pipe diameters, resulting in blocked sanitary lines.
Due to the vulnerable nature of mild steel sanitary tubing, OSS utilises diverse (largely mechanical) methods, to remove physical blockages, and reduce scale and residue.

— By Aviran Mordo @ 9:56 am
Wix.com Ltd. (Nasdaq:WIX), a leading global web development platform, announced today that its worldwide user base had surpassed 50 million registered users. The milestone followed a record first quarter of 2014, a factor largely driven by the company's continued focus on product development, which resulted in the release of over 150 new features, advanced design capabilities and apps since the beginning of the year.
"Back in 2006, my co-founders and I tried to build a website for another business venture. There wasn't a solution out there that could meet our needs, so we founded Wix. Today 50 million users have proven that our need was also theirs," said Avishai Abrahami, Wix Co-Founder and CEO. "From the get go everything we did was shaped and guided by our users' needs. Providing the best product in the market and listening to our users has brought us this far. Continuing to do so will take us to new heights."
Wix's mission is to bring technologically advanced and function rich solutions to all users, regardless of their technical ability or budget. With a powerful drag-and-drop website editor at its platform's core, the company has continued to expand its offering by introducing cutting edge mobile solutions, a vibrant App Market enabling 3rd party app integration, eCommerce capabilities, a host of business management tools and more.
Wix users are rapidly adopting products as fast they're being rolled out, as demonstrated by the 12 million apps installed on users' websites since the Wix App Market's launch and the over 3 million mobile websites built with Wix to date. In line with users' needs and in keeping with the company's mission to provide comprehensive solutions to its users, Wix recently launched two platform advancements, the WixHive API and Mobile Sonic Technology.
The WixHive API will allow formerly standalone applications to share gathered data giving site owners powerful new capabilities. The Mobile Sonic Technology will ensure that mobile sites created with Wix load quickly, catering to the growing market demand for on-the-go accessibility.
"The key to reaching 50 million users is developing innovative tools, that would typically require having expert coders or designers on deck," said Nir Zohar, Wix President and COO. "We're bringing enterprise level capabilities to every business no matter how small, which makes Wix the go-to destination to build, manage and grow a business online."
Full disclosure: Aviran Mordo is the head of back-end engineering at Wix

Christopher McQuarrie Talks Tom Cruise's Daring Plane Stunt In Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation
Michael Briers Apr 10, 2015 9:26 am 2015-04-10T10:28:25-05:00
Now nearing its fifth installment, Mission: Impossible needs no introduction. But if there was ever an actor to steal the spotlight with ever-more-daring stunts, it's the series' leading star and secret agent, Tom Cruise. When the maiden trailer for Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation hit the interwebs late last month, one of the main takeaways was the star's airborne stunt, which sees him hanging off the back of a military cargo plane at 3,000 feet. No biggie, right?
In fact, according to director Christopher McQuarrie – who joins Cruise for the pair's second collaboration following actioner Jack Reacher – the actor jumped at the chance to top his Burj Khalifa stunt from Ghost Protocol. Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, here's what the filmmaker had to share.
"They brought me this plane, and I was looking at the model," says McQuarrie. "And I said to Tom, 'What if you were on the outside of this plane?' I was kinda half joking when I said it, and he just looked at me and said, 'Yeah, I could do that.'"
As many of you already know, Tom Cruise would often do his own stunts in films, and Rogue Nation's airborne sequence proved to be no different. Mind you, McQuarrie was quick to draw attention away from the sequel's jaw-dropping set piece, hinting that there are many more blockbuster action sets to be revealed when the film hits theaters in July.
Scaling the Burj Khalifa is but a stepping stone for Cruise, who reunites with Simon Pegg, Jeremy Renner, Ving Rhames – not to mention newcomers Sean Harris, Rebecca Ferguson, Alec Baldwin and Sean Harris as the villain – when Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation lands in theaters on July 31.

Iran intensifies debate on US talks
Posted on March 14, 2013 by Laura Rozen
Iranian leaders have intensified debate on the pros and cons of direct talks with the United States in recent days, suggesting Tehran may be mulling whether to take President Obama up on the offer and under what conditions. The flurry of debate comes as arms control officials from Iran, Washington and five world powers are due to meet in Istanbul next week, to discuss a revised international nuclear proposal that Iranian negotiators greeted favorably in Kazakhstan last month.
Iranian Supreme Leader's longtime foreign policy advisor Ali Akbar Velayati, former Iran nuclear negotiator Hossan Rowhani, and two Iranian diplomats involved in 2007 talks with the United States on the issue of Iraq, have all weighed in on the merits of possible US-Iranian talks in recent days, in interviews with Iranian media and, notably, in photos of US and Iranian officials meeting in Iraq six years ago, newly published on the Supreme Leader's website.
"It is not the Supreme Leader's view that Iran and the United States should not have negotiations and relations until the Day of Judgment," Rowhani, former Iranian nuclear negotiator and a candidate in June's presidential elections, was cited by Iranian media Thursday.
"If there is a situation where the country's dignity and interests are..served, he will give permission for dialogue…as…negotiations have been held between the two countries on issues related to Iraq, Afghanistan, and the nuclear (issue)," Rowhani continued.
"Our red line, according to the Leader, was to negotiate only for the issue of Iraq and nothing else," Hussein Amir Abdollahian, Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister for Arab-African affairs who was involved in the Iraq talks with the Americans, said in an interview published on the Supreme Leader's website this week, Iran news site Iran's View reported Thursday.
"If you ask me about the US' willingness to negotiate, as a person who has had the experience, I would say they are willing, but they are not intending to solve the problem," Amir Abdollahian continued.
Then US Ambassador to Iraq Ryan Crocker, pictured above right, told the Back Channel Friday that the publication of the photos by the Iranian leadership was "interesting," and said they were from meetings that occurred in Iraq in 2007.
Crocker and Iran's envoy to Iraq Hassan Kazemi-Qomi held two meetings in Iraq in the summer of 2007, on May 28 and July 24, 2007, according to media reports at the time. "Their May 28 meeting marked the first public and formal talks between U.S. and Iranian representatives since the United States cut off diplomatic relations 27 years ago," CNN reported at the time.

Iraq advisor eyed for State DAS for Iraq and Iran
Posted on March 8, 2013 by Laura Rozen
Brett McGurk, President Obama's former nominee for Iraq ambassador, will likely be tapped as the next State Department Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Iraq and Iran, current and former US officials tell the Back Channel. The State Department plans to fuse the two offices, officials say.

McGurk has been serving as a senior Iraq advisor at the State Department since withdrawing from consideration to be US ambassador to Iraq last summer. McGurk did not immediately respond to a request for guidance from the Back Channel.
The McGurk appointment, which several officials said is a done deal, is expected to be announced after Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Iraq Barbara Leaf is announced for her next assignment, which sources suggested may be deputy chief of mission at the US Embassy in Turkey. Former acting DAS for Iran Henry Wooster was made special Iran advisor to JSOC late last year, after he assumed helm of the office following the death of Philo Dibble.
McGurk, a trained lawyer who advised the last several US ambassadors to Iraq, developed a strong working relationship with Iraq's Shiite Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki while negotiating the Status of Forces Agreement on behalf of Bush White House and later the withdrawal of US forces from Iraq for the Obama administration. He is said by sources to have particularly won the admiration of Antony Blinken, President Obama's new deputy national security advisor and former national security advisor to Vice President Biden, who oversaw US Iraq policy in Obama's first term.

Report: Iran Qods chief Soleimani meets with Iraqi Kurdish leaders
Posted on September 27, 2012 by Laura Rozen
Iran Qods Force commander Qasem Soleimani has held meetings with Iraqi Kurdish officials in Erbil this week, Rudaw reports:
The commander of Iran's Quds Force, Qasem Soleimani, visited Erbil this week and met with top officials from the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG), among them Prime Minister Nechirvan Barzani.
A source from the Erbil International Airport told Rudaw on condition of anonymity that Soleimani's plane arrived from Sulaimani where the Iranian commander had met with officials from the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK).
Meanwhile, Prime Minister Barzani's press secretary told the media that the PM has received an official invitation to visit the Islamic Republic of Iran.
"The prime minister received an invitation from the Islamic Republic to visit Tehran and meet with top Iranian officials, but he has not set a date for his visit yet," Sami Argushi, the PM's press secretary said.
Political analysts believe this visit by Major General Soleimani, who commands an important wing of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, alongside other visits between Iranian and Kurdish officials, is a sign of strengthening relations between Iran and the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP).
According to Argushi, the prime minister's visit will be to "strengthen mutual relations between Kurdistan and the Islamic Republic." Continue reading →

Kurdistan's man in Washington prepares for new role back home
Posted on May 1, 2012 by Laura Rozen
Qubad Talabani, the longtime Iraqi Kurdish Regional Government (KRG) envoy to Washington, will move to Kurdistan this summer after a twelve-year run representing Iraqi Kurdistan here that has seen the US invasion and withdrawal from Iraq.
Talabani, 34, the son of Iraq's president Jalal Talabani, will head up a new strategic policy coordinating body reporting to the Kurdistan region's prime minister, Talabani told me in an interview Tuesday. He will be based in the provincial capital of Erbil, and accompanied by his family– his wife Sherri Kraham, a managing director in the Millenium Challenge Corporation (MCC) policy department, and their two year old son, Ari.
"Clearly, professionally, this is a step in the right direction for me," Talabani said. "After twelve years of being here, I am sad to leave this great city but excited to start a new challenge."
Given Talabani's ancestral pedigree, however, it's hard not to wonder if he's being groomed to assume a future political leadership role.: Read the full piece here.

Ex-soldier's case now goes to grand jury
The case of a former Army private charged with slaying and raping an Iraqi woman and killing her family will be presented to a grand jury this month, a prosecutor said. Steven D. Green entered a plea of not guilty through his public defenders Thursday. He also waived a detention hearing and a preliminary hearing, and agreed that his case would be prosecuted in the Western District of Kentucky. Full Story


While rebels in the Nusra Front-dominated eastern portion of Aleppo have presented the lack of civilians leaving as proof that no one trusts Russia and the Syrian government to let them out, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights confirmed that the rebels are actually blocking the civilians from getting out.
The Associated Press spoke to people within Syria familiar with the situation, saying that a number of civilians had told relatives outside the city that they'd decided to flee, and came to the al-Riz crossing to leave. The rebels told them they should wait until dark for safety.
When the families return at night, the rebels opened fire through the crossing out of the city to make sure that no one was able to get out. The Observatory has estimated 100 families are waiting to cross through that single crossing, with no sign they'll be able to get out any time soon.
The Syrian military is also accusing the rebels of being a major reason behind the food shortages in eastern Aleppo, saying they believe the rebels are hoarding large amounts of food in several warehouses in the area.
The rebels are denying this, at least now, but they'd previously downplayed the military significance of the siege of eastern Aleppo on the grounds that they had more than enough supplies to last for a long time without a supply route into the city.
Oh hey, look *who's* just admitted that Obama's moderate jihadi cannibals are blocking civilians from fleeing East Aleppo !
The Syrian Observatory is a mouthpiece for the terrorists, so if even it admits this then the total is probably a great deal more than a hundred families.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights actually produced a report not praising the Islamist and criticizing the Syrian government? Must be someone new on staff who hasn't gotten the memo.


Vallourec announces its results for the second quarter and first half of 2018.
Boulogne-Billancourt (France), 25 July 2018 – Vallourec today announces its results for the second quarter and first half of 2018. The consolidated financial statements were presented by Vallourec's Management Board to its Supervisory Board on 24 July 2018.
"The increase in Vallourec's H1 2018 revenue and EBITDA was driven by the positive momentum on the US Oil & Gas market. It allows Vallourec to take advantage of its fully integrated US manufacturing facilities and to pass on as planned significant price increase on OCTG products, coming into force in the third quarter. Oil and Gas International markets also show positive signs of improving activity. Higher bookings in the EA and MEA regions will benefit Vallourec's deliveries from the second part of this year on. In Brazil, we are starting to execute our new long-term contracts with Petrobras and are ideally positioned to capture opportunities which will come from the opening of the Brazilian pre-salt fields to IOCs.
Going forward, we are focused on three pillars which will continue to improve EBITDA. First, the continued improvement in our competitiveness through the implementation of our Transformation Plan, which will again generate significant cost reductions. Secondly, ensuring we benefit from the improvements in volumes and prices in our main markets. Lastly, the opportunities which come from our new competitive routes in China and Brazil have already generated, and will continue to generate commercial successes in all regions. Vallourec remains very focused on its objective of returning to cash flow positive as soon as possible.
Taking into account the gradual recovery in our main markets and the continued progress in our Transformation Plan, we confirm our positive outlook for the year with EBITDA in the second half of 2018 targeted to be significantly higher than in the first half."

Vertical transport in the spotlight
Latest technologies that are instrumental in generating efficient vertical transportation systems will be highlighted at the third edition of Smart Skyscrapers Summit to be held in May (16 to 17) in Dubai, UAE.
While supertall skyscrapers play a pivotal role in the vertical growth of a city, delivering effective vertical transportation solutions is critical to the overall design of the building, said experts ahead of the event that will be held from at Sofitel Dubai The Palm Resort & Spa.
Brad Hariharan, the regional director, Expotrade Middle East, said: "With the increase of supertall structures, there is an imperative need to determine the advancements in lift technology."
"Our summit will prove to be an invaluable platform to discuss the various vertical transportation strategies that provide maximum space utilisation and also improve building efficiencies," he added.
It is estimated that every day, more than seven billion elevator journeys are taken in buildings all over the world, said a GCC construction report.

Q: How do I get more space between labels on the y axis dt5 <- gapminder %>%
  filter(continent == "Asia" & year == 2007)
dt5
ggplot(dt5,
       aes(x=lifeExp,
           y=reorder(country, lifeExp))) +
  geom_point(size = 3,color="blue") +
  geom_segment(aes(x = 40,   # 起始位置
               xend = lifeExp,
               y = reorder(country, lifeExp),
               yend = reorder(country, lifeExp)),
               color = "lightgrey") +
  labs (x = "Life Expectancy (years)",
        y = "",
        title = "Life Expectancy by Country",
        subtitle = "GapMinder data for Asia - 2007") +
  theme_minimal() +
  theme(panel.grid.major = element_blank(),
        panel.grid.minor = element_blank())

I want more space between the lines, I think the current picture is too crowded
enter image description here

A: Since you only want more space between all labels, I think you can simply solve this by saving your plot with  ggsave() and specifying a width and height argument.
Two examples:
ggsave('version1.png', width = 6, height = 6)

ggsave('version2.png', width = 6, height = 10)

text: M REPORT | 53 O R I G I NAT I O N S E R V I C I N G DATA G O V E R N M E N T S E C O N DA R Y M A R K E T THE LATEST DATA Home Value Growth Heightens in Suburbs According to a new report, the most popular market in early 2022 is Woodinville, Washington—with Burke, Virginia, and Highlands Ranch, Colorado, rounding out the top three. W oodinville, Wash- ington, is Zillow's most popular market of early 2022, leading a list of fast-growing suburbs as the most in-demand places to start off the year. As more data emerges that remote work is a driving force behind fast home value growth in the suburbs, expensive suburban mar- kets are seeing strong demand. Woodinville, located outside of Seattle, topped the list. Following close behind were Burke, Virginia, in the Washington, D.C., area; Highlands Ranch, Colorado, outside of Denver; Westchase, Florida, near Tampa; and Edmonds, Washington, also in the Seattle metro. "The most popular markets so far this year paint a picture of how remote work has changed the U.S. housing landscape," Zillow Economist Nicole Bachaud said. "Demand for suburban homes found an extra gear last summer, perhaps as buyers gained more clarity in their employers' return-to-office policies. Research suggests the rise of remote work is responsible for roughly half of home price growth during the pandemic. How many employers continue to allow this flexibility for employees to live where they choose will go a long way toward determining which markets are most in demand in the future." Especially strong home buyer interest has caused suburban home values to grow faster than home values in urban areas, a reversal of previous norms and from the first 15 months of the pandemic. Remote work is a driving force behind this shift, prompt- ing home buyers to prioritize affordability and space over a short commute. More than half of the gain in U.S. home prices since late 2019 can be attributed to remote work, according to re- search from the National Bureau of Economic Research. The suburbs that beat out all others to top Zillow's latest list of the most popular markets are seeing home values grow faster on a quarterly basis than the principal city in their metro area, indicating stronger demand. Eight of the top 10 have a typical home value higher than their nearby principal city, and seven of those have a typical home value that's more than $150,000 higher. Regionally, Havertown, Pennsylvania, outside of Philadelphia, is Zillow's most popular market in the Northeast, edging out four Boston suburbs: Billerica, Framingham, Waltham, and Arlington. In the central region, Ballwin, Missouri, near St. Louis, is joined in the top five by Grand Rapids, Michigan, and three pricey Dallas suburbs: Coppell, Plano, and Prosper. Denver suburbs dominated the mountain region, taking the top eight spots in Zillow's rankings. Zillow's Top 10 Most Popular Markets and Nearest Metros: 1. Woodinville, Washington (Seattle) 2. Burke, Virginia (Washington, D.C.) 3. Highlands Ranch, Colorado (Denver) 4. Westchase, Florida (Tampa) 5. Edmonds, Washington (Seattle) 6. Yorba Linda, California (Los Angeles) 7. Johns Creek, Georgia (Atlanta) 8. Tustin, California (Los Angeles) 9. Ballwin, Missouri (St. Louis) 10. Golden, Colorado (Denver)
