Hahaha! I think steam and heat might have higher influence on the volume.
Forgot 15 – 20% H ? That matches the mix 50/50 !
This calculation predicts how much air is sucked in the gasifier vs how much gas it produces. Not how much air the gas needs to burn completely.
60% in 100% out, both cold and dry is more of a reality…?
The one and only annual hay harvesting up here is complete. Fresch gasifier filter material available. Went down to the river to change it out. I was about to take a dip as well, but I chickened out Water temp is probably less than 15C (60F). We have had no real heat this summer.
There was really nothing wrong with my old hay. I´m sure i could have used it another full year. Woodgas and the lack of oxygene seem to do a good job preserving it.
2 inch outlet from the barrel?
Yes, one 2 inch in and one 2 inch out.
Interasting solution on anti barrel colapse. I had 3 rings of 6mm rebar in, got constipated once, pressed the gas pedal a bit harder once, BANG, the barrel looked like a vacuum bag you have thicker ones?
Thicker, I don´t know. Mine did implode some last summer but I´ve managed to get away without any colapse ever since i installed the reinforcement. However I try never to pull more than 30 inches of vacuum.
Time to gather some spare hay for replacement or a second filter?
Went for a 615 km (385 mile) rountrip yesterday to give our youngest daughter a ride home for the weekend. Burned 80 kg (178 pounds) of wood. Milage 2.16 mpp with only maybe half a gallon used for hybriding. I opted for small backroads most of the trip.
770 miles per gallon ain't bad there Jan. Did your daughter need a lemon too?
How far can you go before you have to load more wood in the hopper?
I stopped 4 times each way. That´s 60-65 km (38-41 miles) per hopper. Emptied cyclone coffe pot and hopper juice can every other refueling. Half a gallon in each of them.
Anyone ever experienced corroded tb butterflies ?
It all started on our way home from the the long trip two weeks ago. I had a hard time keeping my idle below 1500-2000 rpm without leaning my a/f ratio or squeezing the wg valve. I forgot all about it until today going for the first post holiday wg trip.
First thought was soot buildup around the butterflies but some torching and forcing them shut didn´t affect anything. However I think the butterflies have developed ruff edges. I will have to take a closer look tomorrow in proper daylight and with reading glasses on.
Hmm corroded buterflyes no. Myne seem to be ss. But there is some white oxidation on the aluminium tb houseing.
What about buterfly axle becomeing stiff? Soot, tar, corrosion?

Glycemic index refers to the increase in blood glucose levels after ingestion of specific foods. This numerical value is compared with the glucose IG, set equal to a value of 100.
Eating foods with a low glycemic value is recommended to obese individuals or those suffering from diabetes and insulin resistance problems.
For example, Coca-Cola has a glycemic index of 63, while a portion of red beans has a value of 23.
A glycemic index of 70 or higher is considered high.
A glycemic index between 56 and 69 is considered medium.
A glycemic index below 55 is considered low.
Recently, doctors and researchers have placed greater emphasis on the glycemic load value (CG) of foods.
The glycemic load takes into account the amount of carbohydrate present in a portion of a specific food. The glycemic index, in fact, indicates how rapidly a carbohydrate turns into glucose in the blood but it does not take into account the amount of carbohydrates contained in a portion, which is an equally important factor.
The higher the glycemic load value, the higher is the rate of increase of blood sugar and the consequent impact on insulin levels. This value is calculated by multiplying the amount of carbohydrates contained in a specific portion for the food with its glycemic index, then dividing the product by 100.
For example, an apple has a glycemic index of 40, compared to glucose rating of 100, and the amount of carbohydrate available in a medium sized apple is equal to 16 grams.
The glycemic load is then calculated by multiplying 16 grams of carbohydrates with 40 and dividing the product by 100, getting 6 as a result of rounding the decimal digits.
If you try to compare a portion of puffed rice for breakfast, which has a glycemic index of 82 and a carbohydrate content of 26 to a final glycemic load of 21, or a portion of baked pasta having a glycemic load equal to 32, the results are self-explanatory.
A glycemic load of 20 or higher is considered high.
A glycemic load between 11 and 19 is considered average.
A glycemic load of 10 or less is considered low.
Complex carbohydrates should represent the dominant type of carbohydrates in the diet. They provide a long-term energy source, contribute to the feeling of satiety, maintain the glycemic balance, contain fiber that promotes intestinal evacuation and contain more vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients compared to simple carbohydrates.
Examples of complex carbohydrates are whole grains (whole wheat pasta, whole wheat bread with cereal and porridge), beans, brown rice, peas and most root vegetables.
The intake of carbohydrates along with protein, fiber and fat (healthy ones) helps to dampen the effects on blood glucose levels, and this is another reason why a balanced intake of all nutrients is so important.

HAROUN AND THE SEA OF STORIES
by Salman Rushdie | Read by Neil Shah
Fantasy • 4.75 hrs. • Unabridged • © 1990
Narrator Neil Shah delights in Salman Rushdie's phantasmagorical story, full of allegory and wonder. Haroun's father, the Shah of Blah, loses his storytelling abilities when his wife leaves him. To reclaim his father's gift of gab, Haroun enters the Sea of Stories, accompanied by a water genie, a mechanical hoopoe, and several others. Together, they must rescue the kidnapped princess and defeat the archenemy of stories. Shah's enthusiastic narration utilizes a range of vocal skills to embody several comically absurd characters. Standouts are the quixotic Prince Bolo and the dreamy Princess Batcheat. Shah's passionate delivery and singing create a melodramatic yet humorous performance that will delight listeners of all ages. This whimsical fantasy is not to be missed. A.K.R. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award © AudioFile 2021, Portland, Maine [Published: AUGUST 2021]

Bonaparte house
Napoleon in Ajaccio
Restoration of the decors
From a family house to a napoleonic museum
Napoleon was born in this house on 15 August 1769. He stays there for the last time upon his return from Egypt from september, 29th to october 4th of 1799. In the XX century, it's classified as a historic building before becoming a national museum.
Napoleon was born in this house on 15 August 1769. He lived here until the age of nine when he left to go to school at the Collège d'Autun in France. At this time, his parents, Carlo and Letizia Bonaparte occupied the first floor with use of the kitchen on the ground floor. Their home was extended in 1774 with a terrace built by Napoleon's father. The second and third floors, which belonged to other family members, were purchased over the course of time. The Bonaparte family, as Republican sympathisers, had to leave the island when it was occupied by the British in 1793. Four years later, when Corsica was back in French hands, Letizia Bonaparte, Napoleon's mother, returned to Ajaccio, and with the large compensation payments made to those who had been looted during the British occupation, she extended and refurbished the house. A bright gallery was built, and the rooms were furnished with chests of drawers from Milan and chairs ordered from Marseille. Napoleon stayed there for the last time on his return from Egypt, from 28 September to 6 October 1799. In 1843, Joseph Bonaparte inherited the house, which passed down to Napoleon III in 1852.
During the Second Empire, the Emperor Napoleon III and Empress Eugenie paid a visit to the house on 14 September 1860. On 29 August 1869, the Empress visited it once again with her son, the Prince Impérial, to mark the one hundredth anniversary of the birth of Napoleon I, the founder of the Napoleonic dynasty. Other famous visitors eagerly followed: Gustave Flaubert, Pierre Loti, the Prince de Joinville, Joseph Conrad, Boni de Castellane, Elisabeth of Austria, Edward VII and many more. In 1923, Prince Victor Napoleon, who succeeded Empress Eugenie, donated it to the State. It was then listed as a Historic Monument. Finally, in 1967, the house became a national museum, now administered by the Musée National des Châteaux de Malmaison et Bois-Préau. The building was extended in 2004 with the purchase of a neighbouring house, providing further exhibition space devoted to the Second Empire and temporary exhibitions. Restoration campaigns carried out at regular intervals have revealed the original decors commissioned by Napoleon III and Eugenie.

Elon Musk Says SpaceX Is Better Than Area 51; Is He Hiding Aliens?
By Inigo Monzon
During a recent public appearance, Elon Musk teased that his aerospace company SpaceX is better than Area 51. He also claimed that his company has a facility that's significantly better than the controversial classified military base.
Musk made the bold statements against Area 51 during the recent World Artificial Intelligence Conference held in Shanghai. While sharing the stage with Alibaba chairman Jack Ma, Musk discussed his thoughts on technology, space exploration, Mars and even aliens.
While on the subject of extraterrestrial life, Musk blasted Area 51 and said that SpaceX is better than the military base. The tech mogul also teased that his company has a facility that's a bit similar to Area 51.
"People ask me if I have been to Area 51," he said during the conference. "Okay, please. SpaceX actually has Area 59 and its eight [times] better than Area 51."
Unfortunately, Musk didn't go into detail regarding the nature of Area 59. However, this isn't the first time that Musk referenced the mysterious facility.
Earlier in July, during the height of the popularity of the Storm Area 51 Facebook event, Musk tweeted about SpaceX's Area 59. He then accompanied his post with a humorous meme featuring an alien.
As Musk stated, SpaceX really does use an area known as Area 59. According to a previous report by Florida Today, Area 59 used to be a processing facility for satellites at the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station.
In January last year, it was reported that SpaceX would take over Area 59 for the development of the company's Crew Dragon capsule. The project was initiated as part of NASA venture into partnerships with privately-owned companies for commercial spaceflights.
Since then, there have not been any major report regarding activities on Area 59. But, since it was the facility where the Crew Dragon capsule was developed, it is possible that SpaceX still uses the area for the construction and processing of its other space vehicles. Hopefully, Musk will release a new statement clarifying why he thinks Area 59 is better than the U.S. Air Force's Area 51.

What Happens When We Get Mad?
We were going to sleep, and I was super mad at him for some reason I can no longer remember (I'm suuuure he was at fault, though). I told him to go sleep on the couch. He replied, "No."
"No?" I asked, incredulous. "You can't just say no."
"Why should I be the one who sleeps on the couch?"
"Because you're the man. I'm the woman and I get to banish you to the couch if I want to."
At this point, having no good argument, I began physically trying to push him out of bed. He was a lot bigger (and stronger) than me, so this was completely futile. I tried with all my might, to the point of grunting loudly. The scenario soon struck us both as so absurd that we started cracking up. And it's hard to be mad when you're laughing.
Remembering this made me think about what kinds of things we do when we get mad. My attempt to push my DXH out of bed was silly, but in the moment, it felt totally justifiable.
As a kid, I had a temper. (In high school, I even punched a hole in a door once.) My anger was usually directed at myself: a mistake I'd made or a situation that felt unsolvable. Somewhere along the way, 95% of my temper disappeared. Vanished. Kaput. I'm usually good at diffusing my own anger before it gets directed at anyone else.
But I have a confession to make: I am a leaver. On the rare occasions I do get mad, my first impulse is to get the heck out of the house. I become single-minded about getting in the car and driving as far away as I can. Sometimes this clears my head within a few minutes, but usually it takes longer. But for my DGF, walking out is the functional equivalent of saying, "I don't love you anymore." And that's the last thing I want to say, even when I'm mad. So without really thinking about it, I've found other ways to deal with being mad, and I thought I'd share some of them.
Force yourself to say, "I love you." Even if you don't feel like you mean it in the moment. Because as soon as you say it, it is likely to change the mood and give everything at least some perspective.
If you feel things getting heated, say something like, "I can feel myself getting mad and I need some time to think." This way, you're taking control of your emotions and actually reflecting on them rather than just reacting.
Go into your office (or some other space that's yours alone), close the door, and put Tool (or some other angry music) on your headphones. Listen to it on full blast until the volume starts to get annoying, at which point you'll be able to think clearly again.
Go for a run. Better yet, lift weights.
Cry. It's okay to cry. Sometimes anger expresses itself through tears. If you don't want anyone to see you, go into the bathroom.
Pet the dog while taking deep breaths. Dogs love you no matter what. How can you stay angry when you're holding your dog?
What do you and your DGF do when you get mad? What helps? What do you wish you (or she) didn't do?
When we get mad at each other we don't talk for about 2 hours. Then one of us will just start a random conversation and then work in what the fight was about. We learned the hard way that we needed to take a break before things get to bad.
We both clam up, just don't talk. We will sit in opposite parts of the house for a while. But neither can take the silence very long. It's very hard for me to find my words, so I like to text her. We started this relationship long distance, so text and email is how we fell in love. It is also a comfortable way for us to say difficult things. So we text from opposite ends of the house until we safe enough to meet back in the middle somewhere. Texting makes it eaiser to see the words being said without hearing the tone they were spoken in.
Too often anger is the "delivery system" for other emotions, namely hurt and disappointment. Anger makes us feel less vulnerable, more powerful and in control, safer. Take a breath and ask yourself if you are really angry or are you hurt or disappointed. Once you have identified the emotion, you can have a conversation.
The wise BW. As always, nicely done.
I fondly remember that incident as night as when the 1950's came to visit our house. It was all I could do not to grab a smoking jacket, a tumbler of scotch, and swallow all of my emotions.


Dixie Kiefer was a true World War II hero. First man to fly an airplane off a ship at night. XO on the carrier Yorktown at Coral Sea and Midway. Skipper of Ticonderoga when she came under brutal attack by Japanese kamikaze planes. Star in an Academy Award-winning motion picture. Through it all, he performed coolly and heroically, leading his men through hell and back. But "Captain Dixie" was much more.
Now, for the first time, Don Keith and David Rocco tell the full story of this pioneering hero who inspired not only the men with whom he served but an entire nation at war.
"...an amazing and horribly ironic story brought to life by Don Keith and David Rocco."
When a Venezuelan admiral attempts an ambitious power grab, America's elite warriors must stop a disaster of unimaginable scale. CUBAN DEEP is a high-tension, action-packed tale straight out of tomorrow's headlines.
Don Keith's latest novel, THE SPIN, tells the story of one man's desperate spin of the roulette wheel in Las Vegas...an event that becomes so much more than just a foolish gamble...for him and for thousands of others who follow his quest to fulfill a long-held dream.
Steve R. Skipper is a brilliant painter with works hanging in impressive venues worldwide. He is also a former Crip, his gang's drug debt enforcer. His transition from vicious gang member to salvation is one of the most inspiring stories you will ever read. Contains color reproductions of many of his works.
"God has blessed Steve R. Skipper with both artistic talent and a spiritual sensitivity. He has captured God's miracle."

Trees find no mention in Mumbai's draft plan maps
News Home » City » Mumbai
Clara Lewis | TNN | Apr 8, 2015, 03.44 AM IST
MUMBAI: Citizen activists have protested the absence of tree data along with the draft Development Plan 2034.
Activist Sumaira Abdulali said finalizing the plan without disclosing the trees on the proposed development area was directly contrary to the intent and procedure prescribed under section 19(a) of the Tree Act. "The Act mandates that the Tree Authority must first satisfy itself that it is necessary and feasible to fell trees at a proposed site, and only thereafter is the municipal corporation entitled to sanction building plans,'' said Abdulali.
Pankaj Joshi, architect and executive director, Urban Design Research Institute, said while trees cannot be shown on DP maps, BMC should have provided the tree census data with the DP document. "It is inexcusable that the data has not been provided,'' he said.

Tree Authority member Niranjan Shetty said the census carried out about seven years ago showed approximately 20 lakh trees in the city. It does not include the Sanjay Gandhi National Park and Aarey Colony. Shetty said the requirement was of five trees per person, but the data showed that the trees were inadequate.
"The Tree Authority had sanctioned a fresh census almost a year ago and the new data should have been available by now. The data should have been provided given the problems due to climate change,'' he said.
Architect and activist P K Das said urban city forests, like those on the Malabar Hill slopes and forests along the Irla nullah are not shown on the DP maps. "While trees along roads are not shown on the map, the slopes have been shown as recreation grounds, implying there are no trees here. Along the nullah, the map shows part of the urban forest as a road,'' he said. He said the BMC, as part of its forest project, had planted thousands of trees along the nullah.

NTSC Color Celebrates 60th Anniversary
The rocky road to a 'compatible' standard
James E. O'Neal
WASHINGTON — Ever hear of the "color wars?" If not, read on. Though not covered in mainstream history books, these wars cost millions of dollars and untold thousands of man hours to prosecute before ending 60 years ago.
The formal close came on Dec. 17, 1953, a date little remembered, but one that is important as it marked the official end of a television industry conflict that simmered and boiled for half a decade. The skirmish involved two communications giants—the Radio Corporation of America (RCA) and the Columbia Broadcasting System (CBS)—and had roots extending back to March 1940 and a "chance" viewing of a motion picture by CBS's television engineering director, Peter Goldmark.
Goldmark and his new bride were honeymooning in Canada and had a substantial layover at the Montreal train station. While waiting, they decided to take in a new Hollywood release, "Gone With the Wind." Goldmark had never seen a Technicolor film and was totally smitten by what he saw—to the extent that he decided to immediately move from black and white TV research into color once he returned from his trip. In a few months Goldmark was demonstrating color video to the FCC. Its chairman, James Fly, was impressed— so much so that the network gave Goldmark the green light to continue color R&D. However, America's entry into World War II eventually put the project on hold.
After global hostilities ceased, Goldmark returned to color work, and in doing so unintentionally ignited a skirmish that was to last almost as long as the war which halted his research.
THE BATTLE BEGINS
Goldmark was soon transmitting color signals throughout the New York City via the world's first UHF television transmitter and CBS made sure that the FCC and its new chair, Charles Denny, were aware of these over-the-air demos. (The CBS system provided high-quality color images.) According to Goldmark, the lobbying efforts seemed to be paying off, with Denny possibly even more impressed than his precursor. Goldmark and his bosses felt that the commission would soon allow the network to move from experimental to commercial colorcasting.
Ray Bintliff (R) worked as an RCA field engineer at the company's color testing lab in Astoria, Queens, N.Y. He and other RCA personnel got their first exposure to color via RCA's Model 5 developmental set (the massive chassis and color CRT Jig are seen on the workbench). RCA's chieftain, David Sarnoff, who had spent a lot of shareholder money in perfecting monochrome television was incensed that upstart CBS seemed to have beaten his company to the punch on color, and he was not about to let CBS just walk away with the prize.
Sarnoff accelerated RCA's own efforts to develop a color system—one without the major, but underplayed, flaw in Goldmark's system—it was not backwardly compatible with the very large number of black and white receivers already in consumers' homes; the CBS color line and field frequencies varied so greatly from the U.S 525/60 television standard that existing sets could not produce a picture when with fed CBS color video.
The war began to heat up.
Surprisingly, or maybe not, it wasn't too long after Goldmark charmed Denny with his color demos that the FCC chair relinquished his position to accept a high-level job at NBC.
Goldmark kept tweaking his system, finally locking into a 405-line/144-field version that fit into existing six MHz channels. All the while RCA struggled to perfect "backwardly compatible" color, with their own approach for fitting three color images into a standard broadcast channel. However, RCA's early color demos didn't come off nearly as well as CBS's, and after some heated hearings the FCC decreed CBS the winner in the fall of 1950.
Sarnoff was now doubly incensed and took the matter to the courts, effectively freezing CBS's victory. This delaying tactic also helped to make an even greater case against non-compatible CBS color video, as the meantime, the growing interest in television resulted in the manufacture and sale of even larger numbers of 525/60 black and white TV that wouldn't work with the CBS system. The case eventually worked its way to the U.S. Supreme Court, which in May 1951 upheld the FCC's authority to set a color standard. CBS formally launched color broadcasts the next month, but soon realized that even though they'd won the battle, there were no spoils for the victor. Whenever CBS turned on the color, viewership plummeted to the vanishing point. This could have been predicted, as no established TV set builder could be persuaded to build sets for the CBS standard, requiring the network to go into the manufacturing business itself. Only about 200 CBS color sets were ever produced. After four months of sinking ratings, CBS tucked its multicolored tail and quietly slinked away from colorcasting.
PEACE AT LAST— THE BIRTH OF NTSC COLOR
Soon after CBS tossed in the towel, a second National Television System Committee was convened (the first had been formed in 1941 to hammer out monochrome standards) to develop a color system that wouldn't blindside black and white sets and one that all parties could agree upon. RCA was a major player, but a number of other television interests also formed the committee. Even Goldmark joined.
NBC initially used this colorized version of the network's "chimes" to announce color broadcasts; they were later replaced by the NBC peacock. By mid-1953, the second NTSC's work was essentially complete; only a bit of fine tuning and FCC approval remained. Finally, late in the afternoon of Dec.17, the long-awaited word came from Washington making it legal to transmit the NTSC color.
RCA/NBC immediately hoisted the victory flag by issuing a special "NBC Color Television News" press release, advising that the network had "raced off to a lightning start in color television by putting a color signal on the network at 5:32 p.m., EST, within minutes after announcement of approval of compatible color signal specifications for television by the Federal Communications Commission."
The release somehow managed to blindside all of the contributions made to the compatible color system by other players—notably Hazeltine Labs and Philco, bluntly declaring that "RCA developed the compatible color system."
CBS wasn't quite ready to completely throw in the towel, though. Across town from 30 Rock, Richard O'Brien, then a CBS Television project engineer and later the network's director of engineering, had also been waiting for the FCC announcement. He had at his disposal a small studio created for color program testing and decided to produce the world's first NTSC color television program. NBC signaled the era of NTSC color with only the airing of a color slide.
The Tale of 'Model 5'
Does a falling tree make a sound if there's no one in the forest to hear? Surely these words must have been in the minds of RCA engineers when the color program got into high gear.
RCA's Model 5 color television receiver Even though standards had not been locked into place, color television receivers would be needed for testing and to be ready for demos when the FCC eventually signed off on NTSC. According to information provided by Ray Bintliff who worked as a field engineer for RCA in 1953, RCA's Bloomington, Ind. plant began turning out limited quantities of a pre-production set, the "Model 5" that was designed for the color specs submitted to the FCC by the NTSC. These were sent to locations around New York City, including NBC executives' homes and the RCA color laboratory facility in Astoria, Queens where Bintliff worked. (The Queens lab was on the receiving end of the legendary "blue banana" joke perpetrated by RCA's Dr. George Brown.)
Bintliff estimated that a few hundred Model 5s were produced. In anticipation of what was likely to be a favorable FCC NTSC decision, early in December 1953 Model 5s began to be deployed in fair numbers to locations in cities with stations that could transmit the new color signal. The plan was to give the public its first real peak at compatible color with the eye candy being the Tournament of Roses parade. Bintliff, now 91, recalls spending New Year's Eve at the New Haven, Conn. armory building adjusting the five model 5s sent there in order to be ready for the Jan. 1, 1954 event.
The model 5 evolved into RCA's first commercially marketed color set, the Merrill or "CT- 100," which began to appear at RCA dealers in late spring 1954. It carried a price tag of some $1,000 (about $8,600 in today's money). Needless to say, few were sold.
—James O'Neal
"I was in our special color control room at Studio 71 in the CBS building when the FCC announcement was made and thought it would be a good idea to put together a color show," said O'Brien. "I called a producer who had been working with us and he agreed. He got Dr. [Frank] Stanton, [prize fighter] Rocky Marciano who was there for a rehearsal, and Mike Wallace and we did a show. It lasted about half an hour." CBS at the time had been using the studio for rehearsing a pilot or developmental color program called the "New Review."
Speaking of the angst between CBS and RCA over developing color, O'Brien, now 97, stated "This formally ended it."
FIRST TRANSCONTINENTAL BROADCAST
RCA/NBC was not to be outdone, pulling its own color coup slightly more than two weeks later with the origination of the first coast-to-coast NTSC color broadcast— coverage of the Tournament of Roses Parade on Jan. 1, 1954.
By then at least 23 NBC affiliates were equipped to handle the new NTSC video and transmitted the parade in color.
Although NTSC broadcasts formally ended in June 2009 with the mandatory conversion to DTV by U.S. full-power stations, that color standard remains in use at some low-power stations, cable systems, and in several nations that have not switched off analog. Set-top boxes continue to produce NTSC signals for viewers who have yet to purchase digital sets. There are also the millions (perhaps billions) of NTSC-encoded recordings. It will be a long, long, time before NTSC color disappears completely. Happy 60th birthday!

Exchange, marketplace: What's in a name (change)
Jan 25, 2013 1:03am
When I was pregnant two years ago, my husband and I spent hours and hours discussing names for our daughter. We wanted a name that would sound good with our last name; we preferred something Italian to represent my heritage; we favored something unique without being outlandish. Really, we wanted a perfect name that would just fit our precious soon-to-be child.
That's why we discussed about a million options before we decided on the one ideal word that would literally identify our daughter for the rest of her life. We didn't take the challenge lightly.
Unfortunately, it doesn't appear that the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services took a similar approach to naming the new and innovative (to the insurance industry, at least) way for consumers to shop for health insurance. The reform law slapped it with a "health insurance exchange" label and HHS dutifully moved on.
Fast forward two years and HHS officials are quietly rebranding exchanges as "marketplaces," likely because the public has such a negative reaction to the word "exchange." But shouldn't they have done that public research, you know, before making the name "exchange" official?
But here's the more salient point: Will renaming exchanges as marketplaces or whatever name regulators invent suddenly make hundreds or thousands of people flock to the online sites to sign up for insurance? I doubt it.
Even if HHS rebranded exchanges as "the simplest way to shop for health insurance" (long and wordy as that might be), it still doesn't guarantee success despite its obvious meaning. The only things that can truly ensure exchanges are effective is outreach, education and time.
This is a gigantic change for consumers to wrap their heads around, assuming they even know exchanges exist. Websites like Travelocity, Expedia and Kayak didn't become household names or attract consumers overnight, so why would exchanges? Those companies even spent millions of TV, radio and print advertisements to promote their products, something HHS has yet to do.
I understand the term exchange doesn't adequately convey any clear meaning about the product to consumers. And I'm not opposed to HHS shaking things up a bit, but I wish it had done its due diligence a long time ago to help provide the most solid foundation on which to serve its central reform project to the American public.
And just because the term exchange was used in the actual reform law doesn't mean HHS was compelled to follow suit. Choosing a more accurate and descriptive name after the reform law was passed would be akin to my husband and I temporarily selecting a favorite baby name, perhaps even sharing it with some close family and friends, but then changing our minds before our daughter was born.
Yes, we started with one name and ended with another. But only a few people were ever aware that we changed our minds. It's not like we signed the birth certificate and then filed a petition with our local civil court two years later to give our daughter a brand new name.
Even if we did go through a name-changing process, it wouldn't make a lick of difference to our daughter's personality, her inner essence. She's the same wonderful child that she was when she was born, regardless of what we call her.
The same holds true for exchanges. They're still the same online health insurance shop whether they're called exchanges, marketplaces or any other name. At the very least, I hope HHS has made a final call on using the term "marketplaces" so there's no more discrepancy or confusion regarding these online insurance shops. - Dina (@HealthPayer)

"Street Food Adventures" is a new food series where we explore different countries street food from our perspective. Creating recipes from what we have researched and tested on. It may not be the most authentic thing but it will be our take on the street food we have experienced.
We have been giving a lot of thought on what we should film for our videos and when the list starts to grow, there is one genre that pops out the most: Street Food.
There are lot's of different types of street food, from different countries to different meals. They are all one thing yet entirely different, from culture to evolution.
This fact intrigues us as we can explore the world through street food and built a community of people that enjoys sharing culture and making friends along the way.


Jesus is the King of the Jews, the King of the Universe and the King of kings. These truths were clearly established in the previous chapter. Today we are going to build on the fact that Jesus is King.
We hear a lot about the word 'worship' in the modern church. We hear about worship services, and people say they are going to 'Sunday worship.' Many Christian concerts are billed as worship events. Some types of music are classified as worship music. We often hear the older folks lament that we don't sign the old worship hymns, and the younger complain that we need more modern, upbeat worship songs.
Sadly, many people do not know what worship is. We get our idea of worship from the world. It is a kind of dreamy, almost entranced experience when we see our favorite rock star (Christian or not), when our favorite actor and actress comes close, or when we get posters of our favorite artist of the month, so to speak. We look up to them, dress like them, buy the products they buy, and identify with them.
If we were to look up the word 'worship' in a dictionary, we would find words like reverence, adoration, obeisance, and others like these. However, according to www.Theopidia.com, the root meaning of the word is to 'depress or prostrate oneself.' It can be translated as 'bow down,' 'fall down,' 'make to stoop' or 'humbly beseech.' Notice that these are all actions. They cannot be separated from the inner person.
I was once told that the act of a dog licking the master's hand was the idea of worship. It was an acknowledgement that the master was just that—the master.
The Bible is not opposed to emotional responses; God gave us emotions and Jesus expressed emotions. He cried, He became angered, He sorrowed, and He was at times frustrated. These are the normal emotions of men and women. The problem, as I understand it, is that many of us do not get past the emotions; and once they fade, the idea of honest and truthful worship fades as well.
Being a Christian is awesome! It can emotionally charge you. You know, you get saved; the Holy Spirit moves in; and, man, it is just awesome! You are overrun with emotions. Some people cry, some laugh and smile, some get quiet, some can't shut up, and on and on. But eventually the emotions subside, and the act of living the new life becomes mundane.
Like all babies, you have to learn to crawl, walk, fall, get back up; trip, and get back up. If you get hurt, you have to get back up, and on and on. In response to this a lot of people just settle for the cheap emotional rush. They go to a worship service and they sing a few songs. Don't get me wrong; they sing heartily. They put their all into it: they smile, laugh, say amen a lot, get this glow on their faces, and fall in love with everybody. But then the music stops and they stop too.
Their worship has no effect on their lives; they just like the rush. It is like a drug, and churches are the suppliers. They don't stay at churches long because they need a new rush often: new music, new sound; they are looking for something deeper, they would tell you.
These persons are not involved in the Lord's work. They are takers, not givers. They are always receiving but there is never output. They never volunteer to serve, never speak of Jesus outside of the 'worship' on Sunday or Saturday night, or whenever they went. This idea of worship just becomes a habit; it is just something we do, but it is not who we are.
In the first six verses, we find a discussion about the ritual of weeping while in captivity in Babylon. In the fifth and seventh months, the people would send the priests to pray before the Lord and to weep before the Lord. Even after the return of the people to Jerusalem, they were still doing this ritual.
We see in verse 1 that it was the fourth year of Darius. The new Temple was built, and now the people were sending the priests to weep in the Temple and to pray before the Lord.
In the end of verse 6, God points out that they did everything for themselves. They were not sorry for their sins, and they were not sorry for their transgressions before a Holy and Righteous God. They felt sorry for themselves that they were in captivity. They were not sorry about why they were in captivity.
It is so easy for us to get this way; Woe is me! But we forget that we are the recipients of the rewards of our own sinfulness. We disobey God and are surprised that we get a discipline from God. We are like the teenagers that disobey their parents repeatedly and seem astonished that there is a consequence. They get mad that they got caught, not that they disobeyed their parents; and the broken trust often takes a long time to restore.
I was certainly this way; I know for sure that I broke my parent's hearts often with my selfish and absolutely disrespectful behavior.
As a bit of an aside: Earlier this year the Lord helped me to teach through the verses in 1 Corinthians 13: 4-8 about love. The very first observation we get in verse 4 is this: 'Love suffers long and is kind.' Most of us can deal with the 'suffering long,' but it is having to be kind as well that hits deep and hard. We love to talk about our suffering; we wear it like a badge of honor, but we rarely talk about how we were kind to the ones that hurt us and caused us to suffer.
For seventy years, the people of the nation of Israel – not all of them obviously – but a vast majority of them lamented their state in life as captives in Babylon, but did not think that they had 'hurt' God.
They, like we do, had taken advantage of His grace, his kindness, His love, His mercy and His patience. They, like we do, put on a good show of remorse and repentance; but that is all it ever was—just a show. Yet, God, in His genuine love for the nation and the people, delivered them. He gave them protection and helped them return to their homeland. He helped them begin to flourish. He made the kings of the world supply their needs; and He showed them that, even as they made Him 'suffer,' He was still a kind and loving God.
God calls us to authenticity. If you claim to be a child of God and call Him Lord, then live this way. If not, then live that way, but stop walking on the fence. God can see through your façade, so you might as well live like He wants you to.
God asks a simple question: If you are so sorrowful and find it so important to enter the Temple and weep, why not just obey me? It did not have to come to this; it did not have to come to death, destruction and captivity. All the nation had to do was to obey. All anyone has to do is to obey the Lord. Yes, we are sinners and we will fail. But what really began the journey down to captivity was idolatry.
The people of Israel simply refused to stay away from false gods. They followed after idols, killed their babies, and inter-married with pagan people. They turned their backs on God, called on other gods to save them, and assigned God's victories to others. Eventually, God just became a bystander to their lives. All worship became a mere ritual with no meaning, just tradition.
She is the monarch legally. She lives in the palace. She wears the crown, and people do obeisance to her in the form of bowing or standing when she enters a room. But in reality she does not have any real control over them. She is, for all intents and purposes, just a really rich figurehead.
For a lot of Christians, that is all that God is, a really rich figurehead. He is 'brought' out for special occasions like Easter, weddings, funerals and Christmas, but then He is shelved away until we bring Him out again.
As we get back to the idea of what worship is, we can then truly understand what God expects. He expects us to be physically and spiritually humbled: bowed down, prostrate, face down before Him. He wants us to be truly sorry for our sins and truly repentant.
We are a dual-natured people, those of us that are saved. We have the old nature of sin and the new nature of righteousness fighting inside of us. We will fail; and yes, thank God that we will win as well. When we fail, God has asked that we confess our sin—that simply means to agree with God that we have sinned. We do not seek to excuse or justify our sin, but we humbly agree with God that we have sinned, and He will forgive us. This is true worship.
God asks that we obey Him. Jesus said, "If you love me keep my commandments" (John 14:15).
There is no ulterior motive here, just a plain explanation of what worship is—obey me.
There is no point in singing loud and long, no point to all the instruments and all the practice, no point of getting together if we have no intention of obeying God; if we have no intention of acknowledging that He is our King, and as such, has put certain rules, boundaries and precepts in place that are not up for negotiation or question. They are simply there to be obeyed. The Bible clearly lays these out and we need to be familiar with them.
Obedience requires submission; this is an act of worship. Obedience requires humility, another act of worship. Obedience requires deliberateness and knowledge of what we are obeying; these are also acts of worship.
You see, once we have these things in place, then we can sing worship songs. But if we sing without obedience we are fooling ourselves; we are obviously not fooling God. Come, let us determine, like Joshua and others to serve the Lord. Let us obey, let us submit, let us bow down, let us fall at His feet, and let us obey. Let us honor our Heavenly Father with obedience.
These are just a few of the verses that make it clear that obedience is what the Lord requires. I fail—man do I fail! I thank my God that He is merciful to me, a sinner. He will be merciful to you as well.

Q: Turn array into array of hashes (Ruby) I'm struggling on a task that consists of turning an array into an array of hashes with children.
Basically, I need to create a hierarchical html table of content from an array of headings.
Here is the initial array:
- !ruby/object:Prismic::Fragments::StructuredText::Block::Heading
  text: Quelles espèces de dauphins peut-on voir en Martinique ?
  level: 2
- !ruby/object:Prismic::Fragments::StructuredText::Block::Heading
  text: Dauphin de Fraser
  level: 3
- !ruby/object:Prismic::Fragments::StructuredText::Block::Heading
  text: Dauphin tacheté pantropical
  level: 3
- !ruby/object:Prismic::Fragments::StructuredText::Block::Heading
  text: Dauphin d'Électre
  level: 3
- !ruby/object:Prismic::Fragments::StructuredText::Block::Heading
  text: Le grand dauphin
  level: 3
- !ruby/object:Prismic::Fragments::StructuredText::Block::Heading
  text: Globicéphale tropical
  level: 3
- !ruby/object:Prismic::Fragments::StructuredText::Block::Heading
  text: Les meilleurs spots pour voir les dauphins en Martinique
  level: 2
- !ruby/object:Prismic::Fragments::StructuredText::Block::Heading
  text: Conditions idéales pour l'observation des dauphins en Martinique
  level: 2
- !ruby/object:Prismic::Fragments::StructuredText::Block::Heading
  text: Comment se déroule cette balade en mer ?
  level: 2

Basically, I need the previous array to look like this array of hashes :
[
  {
    "text" => "Quelles espèces de dauphins peut-on voir en Martinique ?",
    "level" => 2,
    "children" => [
      {
        "text" => "Dauphin de Fraser",
        "level" => 3,
        "children" => []
      },
      {
        "text" => "Dauphin tacheté pantropical",
        "level" => 3,
        "children" => []
      },
      {
        "text" => "Dauphin d'Électre",
        "level" => 3,
        "children" => []
      },
      {
        "text" => "Le grand dauphin",
        "level" => 3,
        "children" => []
      },
      {
        "text" => "Globicéphale tropical",
        "level" => 3,
        "children" => []
      }
    ]
  },
  {
    "text" => "Les meilleurs spots pour voir les dauphins en Martinique",
    "level" => 2,
    "children" => []
  },
  {
    "text" => "Conditions idéales pour l'observation des dauphins en Martinique",
    "level" => 2,
    "children" => []
  },
  {
    "text" => "Comment se déroule cette balade en mer ?",
    "level" => 2,
    "children" => []
  }
]

So, an item needs to be included in the previous item if its level value is greater than the previous item. Allowing it to create a hierarchical array of hashes.
Any help on that ? Thanks in advance !

A: Ruby's inject method should solve your problem:
array.inject([]) do |ar,item|
  collection = case item.level
               when 2
                 ar
               when 3
                 ar[-1][:children]
               when 4
                 ar[-1][:children][-1][:children]
               when 5
                 ar[-1][:children][-1][:children][-1][:children]
               # etc..
               end

    collection.push {text: item.text,
                     level: item.level,
                     children: []}

  ar
end

where is array is the array of ruby objects you listed in your post.

RICH: Am I Next?
Until Vanderbilt starts taking sexual assault seriously, every email alert announcing a sexual assault functions only to foster an environment of fear for students.
Claire Rich
A poster highlighting consent that was put up on the first floor of the Scales dorm in Branscomb. This flyer was put up shortly after the third email report of sexual assault. (Hustler Staff/Claire Rich)
Claire Rich, Staff Writer
Editor's note: This piece contains mentions of sexual assault.
In the first six weeks of Vanderbilt's fall semester, VUPD has received five separate reports of sexual assault, all taking place in campus residence halls, all perpetrated by male students. These are only the assaults where the survivor chose to move forward with the Title IX process, mandating that an email be sent to the student body. Two of these assaults were committed by men onto other men—although you may not have noticed that they were two separate assaults because VU Public Safety (VUPS) consolidated both incidents into just one email.
Vanderbilt is legally required to send us these emails under the Clery Act that mandates transparency around campus crime statistics and policies. All four emails—sent on Aug. 28, Sept. 9, Sept. 11 and Sept. 21 of 2021—repeat the same five reminders: "sexual assault does not just occur between strangers," "consent must be clear and unambiguous for each participant at every stage of a sexual encounter," "the absence of 'no' should not be understood to mean there is consent," "a person who is asleep or mentally or physically incapacitated, either through the effect of drugs or alcohol or for any other reason, is not capable of giving valid consent" and "sexual assault is a crime." If you're a Vanderbilt student reading this article, it's likely you could have listed those five facts from memory by now. It's significant to mention here that the first few weeks of college usually see the highest reports of sexual assault—that being said, it is no less terrifying to receive emails about assaults against your peers.
Cara Tuttle Bell, the director of Project Safe—Vanderbilt's center for sexual misconduct prevention and response—spoke on the function of the emails. The Title IX Office did not respond to a request for comment.
"[The emails] function to increase awareness about the prevalence of sexual assault and prompt community members to check in on their friends, engage in bystander intervention, use the VandySafe app virtual escort feature, make extra effort to clarify consent in sexual situations or avoid engaging in sexual activity if a person may be too intoxicated," Bell said in an email to The Hustler. "A series of security alerts tends to prompt students to seek out additional prevention education and support."
Checking in on friends, intervening as a bystander, using the VandySafe app, clarifying consent and avoiding sexual activity when too intoxicated are all efforts our community should certainly be taking on, regardless of how many people have been assaulted. While I'm glad these emails have been shown to prompt community awareness, the issue lies in the fact that it should not take five (or more?) assaults for our community to be aware—if we even are 'aware' now. If the emails were truly working to promote the actions listed above, shouldn't the initial email alert have led to fewer assaults? Instead, our community has received four more reported assaults in our inbox, and four more people have presumably had their lives turned upside down.
Beyond the actual effectiveness of the emails, a lot of the issue lies in what the emails fail to acknowledge. What the emails don't say is whether or not these alleged perpetrators are walking freely among us on campus right now—whether or not they are still using the campus as a hunting ground. What the emails don't say is that only 20 percent of college-aged women report sexual assaults (this data is incomplete: it excludes rape and non-women). If this statistic holds true at Vanderbilt, these five reported assaults make up only 20 percent of assaults that are occurring on campus. As a female Vanderbilt student, and given that nine out of ten rape victims are women, I certainly don't feel safe at Vanderbilt. I find myself walking through campus, passing students and wondering if they could be the alleged perpetrators that are filling up my inbox, wondering if I could be next. And the worst part is, I know I'm not alone. This campus is filled with women and men who walk through campus with this fear in the back of their heads—will they be the next victim?
I am tired of receiving these emails. I'm tired of reading the same five sentences over and over again. I'm tired of having to wonder if the victim is being cared for in this impossibly hard time for them. I'm tired of having to wonder if the perpetrator is standing next to me at a tailgate.
Last year, being a COVID year, saw significantly fewer reports compared to a non-COVID year. In the 2019-2020 year (July 1-June 30), the school received 412 sexual misconduct incident reports. Of these 412 reports, 20 investigations were opened and only 10 were closed. Is this what we're to expect for this year—407 more reports? Five reports is already far too many.
Cara Tuttle Bell commented on the potential resurgence of assault this year as well.
"Victim advocates here and at other colleges and universities worried and anticipated that we would see a rise in the number of alcohol-facilitated acquaintance-based assaults, compared to the prior year, as young adults are returning to some of their pre-pandemic social behaviors," Bell said. Perhaps, then, Vanderbilt should be researching why "pre-pandemic social behaviors" on our campus include and thereby normalize sexual assault.
These survivors are our friends. They're people we love. They're people whose lives were devastated within the course of one encounter. In a majority of assault cases, it can take survivors significant time to even acknowledge what happened to them, and much more time to come to terms with it. It is important to listen to our friends and take seriously any fears they have.
Listen closely if friends come to you for support and help. Pay attention to friends expressing that "something weird happened to me last night," or "I don't feel that good about what happened" or "I was really drunk when they took me home."
It is also essential to hold our friends accountable, to understand that we may be close with perpetrators of sexual assault, too.
You may believe those you are close to are too nice to hurt others or that they "would never do something like that." You may believe that the accuser is exaggerating, making a mistake or falsely placing blame. Perpetrators of sexual assault may be "nice" guys. They may be your frat brothers. They are not strangers seeking out and attacking victims in the dead of night; they are people we all know.
Put yourself in the shoes of those who have been hurt. What if the victim was your sister or brother? Your girlfriend or boyfriend? Would you still be so quick to say how "nice" of a guy your friend is? Blame perpetrators, not victims. Not to mention, you shouldn't have to be related to or in love with someone to empathize with them, but in such desperate times, I can't help but feel like I'm shouting into a black hole when petitioning for more empathy for victims.
Vanderbilt University, you are failing. You are failing to keep us safe. We don't need to know the names of assailants, but we do need to know your plan of action for keeping us safe when far too many sexual assaults have taken place in such a short time. I, personally, would have liked an email a while ago from Chancellor Diermeier or another administrator with knowledge on the issue acknowledging this problem and outlining new prevention tactics. The student body has no information on these assaults, but the school does—they should be using this information to bring forward more effective prevention techniques.
I'm not making the claim that Vanderbilt doesn't have any prevention or support practices in place. I'm more than aware of Project Safe, first-year sexual assault prevention training and greek life training. Project Safe is an incredible organization that provides education and support to all those affected by sexual misconduct of any sort on campus. It's an organization I wholeheartedly support for all survivors on campus to reach out to—I echo Bell's encouragement of students to "reach out to talk with Project Safe's Prevention Educators with any questions and attend our upcoming programs." All of this programming is so necessary, but considering the recent reports, it's just not enough. I can't help wondering how many victims have solely benefited from Project Safe after an assault. Support after an assault is so important, but what about preventing the actual assault?
If five assaults in six weeks is considered excellent prevention, I have no idea what to say. Vanderbilt administration needs to reevaluate their prevention tactics in place and bring forward new attempts to limit sexual assault. As of June 2021, Vanderbilt's endowment totals over $10 billion—I don't have the answer to what will work to prevent assault on campus, but Vanderbilt certainly has the financial resources to search for it. I'm not saying throwing money at the problem can solve a deep-seated cultural issue, but it can open opportunities for more research, resources and educational opportunities. The safety of our student body is at risk; Vanderbilt should be devoting far more attention and resources to this issue.
I am also not making the claim that Vanderbilt University is to blame for sexual assault. The sole blame to place in sexual assault cases is on the perpetrators. However, it's clear by the number of assaults that perpetrators are not afraid to commit assault on campus. At a higher education institution like Vanderbilt (and one of the best in the country), I say that at that point, it's the institution's responsibility to maintain a culture on campus where sexual assailants fear the very real repercussions of committing such a harmful act. I can ask for more from Vanderbilt, and so can you.
When asked for a statement, a university representative emphasized that they are "always concerned when there is a report of sexual assault on our campus" and that "no university is immune to the problem of campus sexual assault."
They emphasized the policies in place—education modules on sexual violence, sexual assault prevention education during orientation, and the existence of a "number of resources" for students. The University stated that they are "committed to confronting and combating this societal problem, and to providing our community with the resources and support they need and deserve."
Yet, the University's statement repeatedly referred to how sexual assault is not just an issue at Vanderbilt, but rather at college campuses around the country, as if the administration just assumes that sexual assault is an unavoidable part of our college experiences. I already knew that sexual assault is an issue everywhere but that doesn't make me feel any safer here.
Sexual assault on campus is only inevitable if you believe it is. Do better.
It should be the perpetrators who are scared to walk through campus, not the victims. Until this university publicly shows us that they have started taking sexual assault seriously, every email alert that a sexual assault has occurred functions only to foster an environment of fear for students. Vanderbilt, I ask you this—will we be receiving another four emails in the coming weeks? How are you supporting these victims, beyond sending them the numbers of counseling centers? And what of the assaults on campus that go unreported?
Am I next?

Saudi Royal Decree May Ease $67 Bln Housing Logjam
By Martin Dokoupil and Marwa Rashad

A royal decree in Saudi Arabia has shaken up the way in which the government allocates vast tracts of land, removing an obstacle to a $67 billion programme to ease the country's housing shortage.

DUBAI/RIYADH, April 24 (Reuters) – A royal decree in Saudi Arabia has shaken up the way in which the government allocates vast tracts of land, removing an obstacle to a $67 billion programme to ease the country's housing shortage.
King Abdullah originally announced the housing scheme in March 2011. His plan to build 500,000 homes over several years was part of a series of official steps to improve social welfare, at a time when social discontent was prompting uprisings in other Arab countries.
But the housing programme has been slow to get underway, partly because of difficulties in obtaining land – an example of how inefficiencies in Saudi Arabia's economy can slow its growth, despite its oil wealth. Last week's royal decree may push the programme forward by opening up thousands of acres of state-owned land for construction.
"The decree is an important step that begins to address the gap between demand and supply of land in order to begin building the amount of units promised," said John Sfakianakis, chief investment strategist at MASIC, a Riyadh-based investment firm.
"It should eventually, as more allocations become available to the ministry of housing, bring down the price of land. Land prices, especially in Riyadh, can only come down if more land is made available as the majority of land still remains idle."
Saudi Arabia has lagged poorer countries in providing housing to its citizens. Some 60 percent of nearly 20 million Saudis are estimated to live in rented accommodation rather than homes they own, and much of the housing is in poor condition, said Mike Williams, head of research at the CBRE property consultancy in neighbouring Bahrain.
Because of the housing shortage, rising rents have been a major source of inflation; rents nationwide rose 3.7 percent from a year earlier in March, though that was far below a peak of 29.7 percent seen in 2008. Apartment rents in Riyadh jumped 8 percent last year, estimates Jones Lang LaSalle.
Faisal al-Dekheel, a 25-year-old government employee, is one person who has grappled with the shortage. He wanted to rent a cheap apartment in Riyadh that would spare him a commute to work of up to 95 minutes, but found he would have to pay an annual rent of 60-80,000 riyals ($16,000-$21,300).
"I cannot afford such an amount. It is impossible," said Dekheel, who eventually settled for an apartment costing 26,000 riyals a year in the distant eastern suburbs of city. "This is not an easy amount too."
Part of the problem is that the kingdom's wealthy have snapped up residential land plots around the country as long-term investments, making them too costly to use for lower-income housing.
Complicating the situation, many plots remain undeveloped because they were given to citizens under a previous system of land grants, and the recipients lacked the money to build on their land.
"The Ministry of Municipal and Rural Affairs has distributed around 2.2 million plots in this way, but there is no data recording how these plots have actually been utilised," Williams said in a research report.
"There is the possibility that most of them remain undeveloped, and therefore these grants are proving insufficient in addressing housing needs in the Kingdom."
In March, local media quoted Housing Minister Shuwaish al-Duwaihi as saying his ministry was able to obtain only a third of the land it needed to carry out housing projects. Ministry officials were not available to elaborate on his comments.
A lack of affordable bank financing is another constraint on home ownership. Partly because of Islamic sensitivities, there are no clear legal provisions for letting banks take away a borrower's home if he defaults on a housing loan; this causes banks to charge high rates on the loans which they extend.
"The long-documented lack of security for mortgage lenders means that risk is priced into such products, making them unaffordable to all but a few," Williams said.
Two years after King Abdullah originally announced the housing scheme, last week's decree may finally put it into top gear. The king instructed the Ministry of Municipal and Rural Affairs to hand over municipal lands immediately to the Ministry of Housing, which was told to build infrastructure such as roads on them before distributing them to citizens, who would build homes with loans granted by the housing ministry.
The Ministry of Finance was ordered to approve funds for the infrastructure construction. The king also told other departments to provide the housing ministry with the data it needed to decide which citizens were eligible for the land grants and loans – a key issue to avoid waste and corruption.
Even if all the government agencies cooperate smoothly, however, the scale of the task means it is likely to be many years before Saudi Arabia reaches the levels of home ownership – around two-thirds – enjoyed by other rich countries such as the United States and Britain.
The housing ministry said in January it would need a year just to prepare the mechanism for deciding citizens' eligibility for land grants. Administering it may be a slow process in a country where the state bureaucracy is not known for its efficiency.
Bottlenecks in the construction industry may then delay the delivery of homes. One current bottleneck is in the supply of cement; last week King Abdullah ordered the import of 10 million tonnes to ease a shortage and called for three or four cement plants to be built over the next three years, granting 3 billion riyals towards the scheme, state news agency SPA reported.
"In my calculation, I've put 10 years to finish the whole project," Fahad Alturki, senior economist at Jadwa Investment in Riyadh, said of the housing programme.
With Saudi Arabia's population expected to grow by 2.1 percent annually in 2010-2015, well above the global average of 1.1 percent, according to a central bank report, the current housing programme may need to be followed by others. In January, minister Duwaihi told local MBC television the country needed 1.1 million housing units.
Dekheel said he was optimistic about buying his own home eventually, but was not expecting it to happen soon. "For sure I will apply to get a land and loan," he said, adding: "It is going to take at least five years until the youth can have access to this."

Apple's QuickTime has been very popular, as a QuickTime user, it's reasonable to watch your own DVD movies (you bought or made by yourself) with QuickTime Player. However, you may find that QuickTime won't play your DVD movies. Why can't you play DVD on QuickTime Player directly? What's the best video and audio format for QuickTime support? What's the recommended Audio/Video Settings for QuickTime Player? How to make DVD compatible with QuickTime? What is the best DVD to QuickTime tool? These problems may have plagued you. Below we will solve these problems by the following 8 parts.
Part 1. Why can't you play DVD on QuickTime Player directly?
Part 4. How to make DVD compatible with QuickTime?
Part 5. What Does The Perfect DVD Ripper for QuickTime Player Look Like?
Part 6. What is the best DVD to QuickTime tool?
Part 7. How to Rip DVD to QuickTime Supported Format – MOV?
Part 8. How to play ripped DVD movie on QuickTime Player?
QuickTime is Available for Windows and Mac OS, it is used to handle digital video, audio, animation, text, and image formats. But even an omnipotent QuickTime player also will have to be yield to video format incompatibility. Among those supported formats, DVD video format (like VOB, Video TS, ISO or IFO) is not included. Plus, as far as we know, the commercial DVDs are encrypted and only special DVD player software can open and play them. Thus, in either case, you can not directly play a DVD on QuickTime Player.
If you want to make DVD played back on QuickTime smoothy, you have to rip DVD to QuickTime playable format first.
QuickTime supports a lot of media formats and codecs, with many more coming all the time. Some examples of formats and codecs supported by QuickTime follow.
And among these video formats, MOV is the most commonly used one. So if you want to play DVD on QuickTime, you have to convert DVD to QuickTime MOV for playable.
Note: QuickTime Player plays the audio/video files with specific codecs mentioned above. For instance, you can using QuickTime play Motion JPEG-based AVIs created by many digital cameras. But for other forms of AVI media, you are suggested to resort to third-party software like Wondershare Video Converter Ultimate to convert the any type of AVI video file to QuickTime supported video file formats for a faultless playback on QuickTime player.
Even if you have a friendly QuickTime video and audio files, there are still many other factors that may result in playback problems, with the resolution, frame rate settings being the typical example. To help you solve the issues, we offer the recommended QuickTime video parameter settings so that you can play the ripped DVD movie on QuickTime flawlessly.
Before ripping DVD to QuickTime compatible video formats such as MOV, M4V, etc., ypu should get a top DVD to QuickTime converter. It is ture that there are many powerful free DVD Rippers on the market, but nearly all of those free DVD Rippers fail to rip DVD that is under copyright protection such as Disney X-project, DRM and region code limitation. If you pick up an inappropriate DVD to QuickTime converter, you not only waste a great deal of your precious time and energy, but also you are likely to get your precious DVD disks scratched. In other words, choosing a proper and suitable DVD to QuickTime converter is extremely important. So there is a question coming out here before ripping DVD to QuickTime: how to select a good DVD to QuickTime converter?
Mostly importantly, an eligible DVD to QuickTime converter must possess the ability to rip not only homemade DVDs but also commercial DVDs by removing disk protection such as copyright protection and disk region code limitation.
Basically, a good DVD to QuickTime converter must be easy to operate. Therefore, the program interface should be user-friendly, and allow you to start a rip to QuickTime in three steps or less.
An eligible DVD Ripper shall allow users to free choose subtitle and audio track. If a user don't understand English and the converter cannot allow he or she to choose his or her familiar subtitle and audio track, will he still use the converter again? I am sure the user will immediately look for other DVD to QuickTime converter with subtitle and audio track selectable.
The powerful DVD ripper should made it extremely easy to convert a DVD for specific file types and devices. They do this by including the afore-mentioned library of output profiles. All you need to do is load your disc into the application, select the file format, device or service from the library, and start the rip. This category evaluates the breadth and versatility of the conversion choices offered by each application. Furthermore, the best rippers should be able to extract audio clips from discs, capture subtitles and more.
An appropriate DVD to QuickTime converter should be integrated with an video editor making DVD editing feasible for users to get personalized output video.
The top DVD to QuickTime Ripper should have NVIDIA® CUDATM technology, the conversion is processed on NVIDIA's GPU instead of your computer's CPU, leaving more of your CPU available to handle other applications. That means your conversion process has six-time-faster standard and high-definition video conversion, higher quality, and smoother playback for all ripped movies.
No matter how easy an application is to use, occasionally some customers need support. Manufacturers that provide excellent customer service make the best DVD rippers. This service comes in the form of tutorials, FAQs and knowledgebase on their websites. If you can't get an answer in those ways, manufacturers should offer email or LiveChat support.
After taking these aspects above into consideration, you can rule out DVD to QuickTime Converters that cannot meet even one of those requiremnets one by one until you find the best DVD Ripper. If you have spent a great deal time in selecting a proper DVD Ripper but have no result, then you can try Aimersoft DVD Ripper or ByteCopy, a professional DVD to QuickTime Converter.
