Well, another year is nearly done and everyone is getting ready to down tools, turn-off their computers, file the last of the paperwork, and head home for a well earned two weeks rest.
The arrival of winter is strange time for me. Eight years ago Scotland was in the third week of the coldest and snowiest winter in living memory. Roads were blocked with ice and snow. Quarries were shut down (with 40 tonnes of stone I needed delivered) and I was twiddling my thumbs, unable to get to work. I think it was about now, that I just decided to stop getting up early, hoping to head to work. In fact it would be another 4 weeks before I could get building again.
So every year, I am more interested in the weather than the Christmas holidays. I know that once the snow arrives, working becomes difficult and unpleasant. So until it arrives, I like to keep working.
I have a fair amount on too, so I am ploughing on with two jobs on the go and a third ready to go.
As good as it would be to stop for a few days, I can't afford to stop. The weather is still pretty mild in Central Scotland, so apart from a bit of rain and short working days, I can keep on keeping on.
I'll take two days off on the 25th and 26th, and then its back to it.
And unlike anyone on a salary, I don't get paid when I don't work.
Bah humbug? You bet I am!


This book is more than a Boy's Own adventure in search of the rarest bird in the world. It is a meditation on nature, on ways of seeing, on the naming of things and why we feel so compelled to label.
After much to and fro, confirmation was unanimous, and the new species was announced, Nechisar Nightjar, Caprimulgus solala, (solus:only and ala:wing).
Vernon R.L. Head was born in Cape Town (South Africa) in 1967. He grew up in a bungalow near the sea. He studied architecture, winning national and international awards for design and creative thinking. He is presently Chairman of BirdLife South Africa, one of Africa's biggest and most influential conservation organisations. When not working on environmental matters, he is either designing special buildings, or traveling the world looking for the rarest birds. This is his first book.


A traditional Hong Kong dish is shark fin soup. It's under a lot of strain from western countries due to the way these animals are treated. Rather than catching a shark and using the whole animal, fishermen tend to cut off the fins and throw them back to die, which is a rather cruel way to treat these beautiful animals. I have nothing against eating shark or any other animal, as long as it's treated with respect. Therefore I've never eaten shark fin soup, and I don't think I ever will unless I can be guaranteed the animal didn't suffer.
These shark fin flavored pretzel sticks, however, surely can't be made of actual shark fins. At most there is a flavor powder sprinkled on the sticks. In flavor it reminded me very much of that other pretzel stick creation I wrote about earlier, the Beijing duck pretzel. It seemed to be a simple bread stick sprinkled with bouillon cube powder. Unlike the Beijing duck variety though, this one was not as harsh and heavy handed on the seasoning, and was therefore a lot nicer to eat.


Is Reckless Driving a Crime? | Rispoli & Borneo, P.C.
Is Reckless Driving a Crime?
Posted on July 29, 2018 by Rispoli & Borneo P.C.
A person can be charged with reckless driving if they operate a vehicle in a way that creates a risk for others. If a person is charged with reckless driving, it is not a traffic violation, but is actually considered a criminal offense, classified as a misdemeanor. The assistance of the top criminal defense attorneys Fairfax, Virginia residents rely on may be beneficial.
How is reckless driving different than other types of violations?
When a person is charged with a traffic violation, there are no circumstances that are considered when determining whether that driver is guilty or not. For example, a driver is speeding if they are traveling over the posted speed limit. They are guilty of running a red light if they do not stop their vehicle when the light turns red.
Reckless driving charges are different and a conviction is dependent on the circumstances of the case. This is because when a person is charged with reckless driving, they go through the same criminal process as other types of crimes. They are arrested, read their rights, and are required to show up in court.
How is reckless driving proven in court?
State of mind: Reckless driving goes beyond just being a negligent driver or making a mistake. There must have been a willful or wanton disregard for safety on the part of the driver. A prosecutor must prove that the driver knew or should have known that their behavior or action created a danger to those around them.
Situational factors: There are many factors the court can consider when determining guilt or innocence of the driver, including whether the driver was familiar with the area they were traveling in, whether were other people or animals in the area, what were the weather conditions, what time of day this occurred, and more.
Risks: All a prosecutor has to prove is that the driver's behavior caused a potential safety risk, not that there was anyone actually in danger at the time. The fact that the driver created the risk is enough to qualify as reckless driving.
Traveling a certain speed over the posted speed limit.
What are the penalties if a driver is convicted of reckless driving?
Fines: This is the minimum penalty you can receive, however, fines for reckless driving are usually hefty and can range from hundreds to thousands of dollars, depending on the circumstances of your case.
License suspension: Many states have a mandatory license suspension, even for first time reckless driving offenders. Multiple traffic violations can result in a much longer suspension term.
Probation or jail: Misdemeanor convictions can result in a jail sentence of up to 12 months. The court has the discretion to hand down a jail sentence if the offender has an extensive poor driving or criminal record. In some cases, the judge could sentence the offender to probation instead of jail.
Thank you to our friends and contributors at Dave Albo – Attorney for their knowledge about reckless driving charges and criminal defense.

Polish urban planners appreciated Plac Europejski, at which Warsaw Spire is situated. The building was awarded the prize for the best newly created area in this year's edition of the competition for the best public space in Poland.
The investment from Warsaw was considered the best designed public space in Poland for the first time in the competition organized by the Society of Polish Town Planners. It is a distinguishing not only for Ghelamco but also for the capital, which has been waiting for such a high prize for a very long time. The competition is organized under the honorable patronage of the President of Poland.
Plac Europejski is an incredible design. It is completely new and unknown quality of public space in Poland, which is reflected not only by the aesthetics but also by the functional zone in the form of a place for meetings, culture and art. We are very glad that the jury composed of professionals appreciated huge efforts that we made to create this space – says Jarosław Zagórski, Commercial and Development Director of Ghelamco Poland.
Plac Europejski is the first public square on such a scale in Warsaw. It was designed and realized by developer on the private plot. This high class public space with fountains and greenery was realized in place of the former neglected city block of Towarowa, Grzybowska, Wronia and Łucka Streets.
While looking at life at Plac Europejski, we can see how much such place was needed in Warsaw. Inhabitants and employees of the nearby offices spend their free time among thousands of plants and lush trees every day. They can cool down in the summer period with the use of water from the cascade stream, which crosses the square up to Warsaw Spire. At night, the streams of the fountain are lightened up with colorful reflectors and they create a spectacle of water acrobatics. Enthusiasts of this big city and nature can find something for themselves in this place: there are numerous species of rare trees such as dawn redwood, bald cypress and honey locust – adds Jarosław Zagórski.
The project was devised by the Belgian architectural studio Wirtz International Landscape Architects. Its portfolio includes, for instance, gardens of the Élysée Palace, Jardin du Carrousel in Tuileries Gardens in Paris, or Jubilee Park in London.
Plac Europejski has a rich functional program, on which the investor of this project – Ghelamco – put special emphasis. For instance, Art Walk was realized in the northern part of the square. It is a specially designed modern exhibition gallery, thanks to which employees of the complex as well as inhabitants can experience art at any time during a day. Next to it, there are two murals on the walls of the tenement house at Grzybowska Street made by two artists: Rafał Olbiński and Francois Schuiten.
The character of the square is completed with restaurants and cafes, e.g. Daft cafe, Stixx Grill&Bar and Wabu Sushi Bar. Additionally, a new restaurant Genesis is to be opened soon.


The clock is ticking for the German swimmers because the qualification period for the European LC Championships 2018 will expire on April, 29th.
The Swim Cup Eindhoven and the Bergen Swim Festival were two of the last chances for the athletes to crack the nomination standards. The German Swimmining Federation (DSV) sent 35 swimmers officially to the Swim Cup including many youngsters who will try to qualify for the European LC Youth Championships in July in Helsinki.
The journey to Eindhoven was part of a cooperation with the Dutch Swimming Federation, Netherlands national squad will participate at the German Open which are held in Berlin from April 20 – 22.
The next weekend will count. SC World record holder Marco Koch couldn't haven't managed to fullfill the norm times in a prelim and final race at the same meet so far and also European SC and LC Champion and World LC Championships silver medalist Franziska Hentke was only near the nomination standards in the 200m butterfly.
The German Swimming Federation (DSV) lowered the standards for the relays. At the moment, all relays except the men's 4x100m freestyle, will participate in Glasgow. This step has motivated many athletes to fight for the relay spots because normally relay swimmers also get a chance to compete in an individual event. It is allowed for every European Nation to enter up to FOUR athletes per event.
Florian Welllbrock not only stayed under the required norm at the Swim Open in Stockholm last weekend, he also improved a 27 year old German record and set a new 2018 World best time in the 1500 freestyle, posting 14:40,69. Wellbrock also could dip under the norm for swimmers born 1996 or later in the 400m and 800m freestyle. So did Henning Mühlleitner in the 400m freestyle with a time of 3:46,98.
Germany's long distance pool swimmers have done a great job so far en route to participate in the 2018 European LC Championships: Sarah Köhler has qualified for the 800m and 1500m freestyle, Leonie Beck cracked the U23 standard in the 800m freestyle and Celine Rieder in the 1500m freestyle.
Damian Wierling was fast enough in the 50m freestyle (22,26). Philip Heintz posted the second fastest 200m IM time in the actual World ranking at the Bergen Swim Festival (1:56,67) and Johannes Hintze reached the goal time in the 400m IM at the Swim Cup in Eindhoven in his prelim's race in 4:17,76.
Below you find the German nomination standards, the qualified swimmers.
Already qualified swimmers are printed in bold letters. Nomination times which are FASTER than the acutall German national record are printed in bold numbers.


Since the birth of the Hells Angels, the world's most notorious outlaw motorcycle club has been a target for law enforcement intent on locking them up and shutting them down. A decades-long war has seen glorious victories and bitter defeats on both sides. Former Hells Angels president George Christie takes us behind the lines of the bloody battles. His revelations bring to life the attempts by the Feds to sweep up the Angels' leadership; armed raids on Hells Angels clubhouses; and the use of a rogue mafia leader to entrap Christie himself on attempted murder charges. And we see the lengths the Angels went to keep themselves one step ahead, from smoking out infiltrators to elaborate courtroom maneuvers. It's an unprecedented look at a war that still rages to this day.

Back pains are a common condition that affects many people with increased age. In the United States, statistics show that this condition will affect about 85% of the entire population at some point. There are many causes of back pains. However, most back pains and especially lower back pains develop and are contributed by the lifestyle. This is the main reason joint pains are hard to deal with in normal circumstances. Unless you understand the cause of your joint pains and work towards correcting the cause, then it might be a bit challenging to treat back pains.
Even for the people that do exercises and workouts, wrong postures and techniques increase the chance of suffering from joint pains. Pain killers and other treatments may not help you in treating joint and back pains if you do not, first of all, work on correcting the few things in your life that cause joint pains in your body. They only offer temporary relief. This is even dangerous as it may aggravate your condition and damage your joints making worse the condition. You can, however, manage your joint pains with some natural and home remedies on your own.
Research has shown that most of the adolescent and teenage kids in America suffer from back pains. This is caused by being involved in video and online games for an extended time. This leads to poor postures while playing games. This may result in crumbling body and especially the lower back muscles, thus suffering from pains occasionally. You can prevent back pains by gaming for a limited time in a day. If you have to play for long sessions, ensure that you assume the good sitting and gaming postures. It is also important to take exercise so as to reduce the chances of adding weight, which could also contribute to back pains.
Too much weight in the belly region leads to increased pressure and strain on the back region. This increase backache pain. You can work on a home plan to help you shed some pounds of weight and reduce the risk of suffering from back pains. Shedding weight will start from observing your diet. Foods that are rich in calories will increase the chances of storing fat, especially in the belly. This may lead to increased weight gain. If you already have added a lot of weight, you can take foods rich in fiber. These help you to feel full for a longer period. You will thus be converting the stored fats to provide the body with energy. Fibers also take a longer time to digest. This enhances the intake of nutrients, thus reducing the storage of fats and adding weight.
Exercises are good for the entire body. However, when you have severe joint pains, be cautious about the kind of activities that you engage in day to day. I know that many people will not even think of considering exercises when they have back pain problems. However, it is helpful to exercise your body with low impact exercises. They will help to correct many causes of back pains like poor sitting and exercising postures. The most recommended exercises include yoga, swimming, walking, and stretches. Exercising will also help you to shed or lose weight and get your BMI in check. A study shows that exercising helps to reduce back pains by 20%. However, when faced with back pains and other types of joint pain, keep off high impact exercises. In fact, getting involved in home chores will also help you to deal with joint pains.
Many people work on a computer for long hours of the day. These people need to practice proper ergonomics so as to keep joint and back pains away. Ensure that your monitor is placed in the right position in front of you. It should be at least twenty inches away from your body. The mouse and the keyboard should, however, be close to you. This way you will not struggle to look at the monitor or reach for the mouse and keyboard. Your arms should hang naturally as you perform tasks on the computer. The shoulders should be relaxed. Many people have also installed apps that remind and suggest some exercises to perform around your desk so as to reduce back and joint pains.
Apart from poor sitting posture, many people have a lot of problems when sleeping. This is a primary cause of major back pains. When sleeping in a sideways position, the leg on the top will slide down and cause some twist on your lower back. When sleeping in this position, make sure that you place a pillow between your legs. This prevents your leg from sliding to cause a twist in your lower back.
Back pains can be very disturbing. They will inhibit your activities and prevent you from taking part in many things. Make sure that you do exercises to help you minimize back pains. Exercises will also correct problems caused by poor sitting and sleeping habits, thus helping to control back pains.

The final five face off in an obstacle course challenge, where the winner gets invincibility. After everyone suffers a near-death experience, somebody is sent packing.
The final five were all very happy at how far they'd gotten. Chris McLean announced that the challenge would be an adventure movie based obstacle course. The course consisted of a rickety bridge, swinging on a vine, dodging darts, and crossing a finish line. Ethan was removed from the challenge. James and Frank were both unable to complete the bridge. LeShawna broke the bridge, but succeeded in going across the vine. She was hit by a dart and was knocked out. She ended up rolling across the finish line. Nalyd couldn't go because LeShawna broke the bridge. Because she was the only one to complete the challenge, LeShawna won immunity. In the end, Nalyd's alliance picked Ethan to be eliminated.
(CONF) LeShawna: When you're the last girl out of five peeps, ya gotta be a little self-conscious, right?
Nalyd: That's not funny, Chris. That's just annoying.
(CONF) LeShawna: Ethan was creepin' on me last night.
(CONF) James: Ethan is annoying. At least my jokes make people laugh.
Chris: For the five of you, this has probably been the adventure of the lifetime!
Nalyd: It's been okay. *Flashback of eliminating Trev, Victoria, Rachel, Roman, Bridgette, Rachel, and Princessa* It's been fun!
Chris: Anyway, today's challenge is an adventure movie!
(CONF) James: One of my favorite movies!
Nalyd: Chris, didn't we already do that?
Chris: Well we're doing it again, because you all probably miss it.
Nalyd: We're doing another cliff jump?
Chris: No, an obstacle course!
Chris: You gotta run across a rickety old bridge, swing on a vine across a pit, and then cross the finish line while dodging knock out darts! Simple, yes?
James: *Breaks finger* Ow! *Runs across bridge, slips. Grabs on an edge and pulls up. Falls into the pit* Aaaah!
Chris: This has lawsuits written all over it! *Points at wall* Why would Courtney vandalize this wall?
Chris: And Frank is unable to complete the challenge.
Frank: It's okay, I landed on my whoopie cushion!
Chris: Wow, even LeShawna can't complete the chal- She's still up!
Chris: She's rolling to the finish line?!
Chris: She's picking up speed! She ran over a squirrel!
Chris: LeShawna made it across! Nalyd, you're up.
Nalyd: I can't go! She broke the bridge!
LeShawna: I prefer Indiana LeShawna, her bootyliciousness.
(CONF) Nalyd: As with the last four people to go, this person wanted me eliminated. If they want me eliminated, they gotta go!
(CONF) Ethan: I know, it's just that if I voted off the person who is a threat it would have to be you.
(CONF) LeShawna: He has to go! I mean, did you not remember yesterday? He's a threat... In more ways than one.
(CONF) James: This person was hard to vote for, but, after lasting so long with this person, I'm surprised I didn't go crazy yet... Okay, I went crazy, but not because of this person.
(CONF) Frank: I'm voting for a person.
Chris: Those confessionals were pretty deep. I was especially impressed by Frank's.
James: Indiana James prevails again!
Ethan: Before I go, can I say some long monologue?
Ethan: All I want to say is I played my best, and I barely got enemies. But I know one thing. Never judge a book by its cover.

Q: Pair production kinematics In the process $A\rightarrow B+C$ If we know the energy and momentum four vectors of B and C, then how can we find the momentum three vector of A. The particular proces I have in mind is pair production $\gamma\rightarrow e^+ + e^-$
4-vectors for electron is $(E_1,\vec{p_1})$
 and for positron it is $(E_2,\vec{p_2})$. Then for the photon all I can deduce is $E = E_1+E_2$ (energy should be conserved) and $|\vec{p}| = |E|/c$ . Where $(E,\vec{p})$ is the four momentum of the photon. Can I also find the three components of the momentum of the photon, given that I have the components of the momenta of electrons and positrons (i.e I know $\vec{p_1}$ and $\vec{p_2}$)?

A: As luksen and Marek point out, when the incoming particle is massless this reaction can't go, unless there's a third particle around to soak up the momentum. If we allow for the existence of this particle, then I don't think there's enough information to solve.
Let $p_{Xi},p_{Xf}$ be the initial and final 4-momenta of that particle. Then conservation of 4-momentum says
$$
p_\gamma+p_{Xi}=p_1+p_2+p_{Xf}
$$
Assume that the extra particle was initially at rest: $p_{Xi}=(M,0,0,0)$. ($M$ is the mass of $X$, and I'm setting $c=1$.) We don't know anything about any of the components of $p_\gamma$ or $p_{Xf}$, so there are eight unknowns to solve for. The above is 4 equations, so we need 4 additional equations. Unfortunately, we have only two,
$$
E_\gamma=|\vec p_\gamma|,
$$
$$
E_{Xf}^2=|\vec p_{Xf}|^2+M^2
$$
(Here $E$ means energy and $\vec p$ means 3-momentum in the frame we're working in, of course. These two equations are just $p_\mu p^\mu=m^2$, if you prefer.) So there's not enough information to solve.
The typical assumption is that the extra particle is much more massive than the others. In this case, the energy it absorbs is typically negligible, but the 3-momentum isn't. So if the 3-momentum is what you're interested in, I don't think you can get by with just pretending that particle isn't there.

A: This question is quite elementary but since it's not getting an answer, let me provide one.
We know (hopefully!) that both energy and momentum is conserved, therefore both $E_{\gamma} = E_1 + E_2$ and $\vec p_{\gamma} = \vec p_1 + \vec p_2$. One might get confused by the fact that this process can't occur by itself but this can easily be fixed by adding additional observer particle (by which I mean that it doesn't affect the process in any serious way; beyond, of course, making it possible in the first place) in the initial and final state and then neglect its contribution.
Now, in the four-vector formalism we can express this more succintly as conservation of energy-momentum in the following way
$$p_{\gamma} + p_{\text observer} = p_1 + p_2 + p'_{\text observer}$$
and by the definition of observer we have $p_{\text observer} \sim p'_{\text observer}$ and we cancel these observing terms on both sides of the equation.

Q: Calendar(DaysofWeek) in qml How to display only 2 characters for DaysOfWeek in qml calendar i.e. Su, Mo, Tu, We, Th, Fr, Sa ?
Is there any property available to display only 2 characters?*
As far as i know below mentioned properties are available:
model.longName : string The long version of the day name; for example, "Monday" (QLocale::LongFormat)
model.shortName : string    The short version of the day name; for example, "Mon" (QLocale::ShortFormat)
model.narrowName : string   A special version of the day name for use when space is limited; for example, "M" (QLocale::NarrowFormat)

A: There's no built-in method to get the output you're looking for. But you can do it yourself by just mapping the existing names to your preferred names.
property var dayNames: { "Sunday" : "Su", "Monday" : "Mo", ... }

Then you can use it like this:
property string longName: Qt.formatDate(new Date(), "dddd")  // "Sunday"
property string shortName: dayNames[longName]  // "Su"


There is a screen cap of the final communication between the server and client if anyone could possibly have a look if they can answer my questions.
That said, I certainly should have known better.
A) Will a TCP session finish successfully even if some frames could not be ultimately received?
recover from missed data and also when data has not been acknowledged.
Is this why sometimes a browser will just be apparently 'spinning it's wheels'?
Since I've had to delve into this the last couple days, I'm going to go off on a tangent to learn much more about this level of network communication.
Symptoms are the Title of the site appears in the browser, it spins it's wheels, then stops.
browser can not show the data it has already received.
This is exactly what I had thought.
where the data might be missing.
Let me know if the file I've included the link for is what you need.
Next steps would be to start a capture on both ends of the fibre to see where there's a difference between the two captures.
This was our objective today.
data tunneled somehow by the fibre-provider?
Well, I don't believe so. I connect my switch to a switch at an intermediary, and the client end switch is connected to the same intermediary switch.
From what I can tell, there is no trickery involved. However, it is excruciatingly painful getting any decent answers from the intermediary, but we have no choice but to use their fibre (they are the PUC, and they own it). I'll only go to them when I can absolutely confirm that both my end, and my client's end are functioning correctly.
Thanks for the insightful feedback.


How Do Fuel Cells Work?
Hydrogen fuel cells depend on the interaction between hydrogen and oxygen to create electrical power. This process requires a catalyst that splits the electrons from these elements to create electricity. This also generates heat and creates water, making hydrogen fuel cells one of the cleanest ways to power vehicles.
Major manufacturers are developing prototype vehicles that will run on hydrogen fuel cells or will use these cells as backup for conventional gas-powered engines. Toyota, Tesla, Cummins and Nikola Motors have already announced and, in some cases, debuted prototypes of vehicles that run on clean, renewable hydrogen cell technology.
Toyota is currently testing its Alpha Truck at its Toyota Logistics Services facility in the Port of Los Angeles. This heavy-duty Class 8 truck incorporates hydrogen fuel cells and electric motors to reduce emissions and ensure the most efficient use of energy. In September 2018, Toyota announced a partnership with the California Air Resources Board to produce 10 more trucks for use in the Port of Los Angeles area.
The Nikola One Class 8 prototype was introduced in 2016. Nikola Motors is currently accepting reservations for this hydrogen-powered vehicle, which reportedly can run for up to 1,000 miles on a single charge.
These vehicles offer significant benefits for the environment and will streamline Houston fleet maintenance tasks in the future.
Fuel cells operate silently or with minimal noise, reducing the amount of ambient sound on streets and highways.
Vehicles that operate on fuel cells can reduce or eliminate dependence on fossil fuels, which can significantly reduce their impact on the environment.
Hydrogen fuel cells can produce significantly more torque and horsepower.
Because fuel cells require fewer moving parts to function, they can streamline the maintenance process.
At Glesby Marks, we are committed to staying on the cutting edge of Houston fleet management and fleet leasing. We work with your company to determine the most practical and cost-effective solutions for your fleet. To learn more about the future of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles and what they might mean for your business, call us today at 1-800-482-9498. We look forward to the opportunity to work with you.

So I am pretty illiterate when it comes to biological sciences, etc. But I was watching one of Zakir Naik's videos on youtube, just now, and he makes a statement about why Darwin's concept is just theory and nothing more. But what I didn't understand was the part where he said that "iceman" wasn't related to neanderthal etc. Anyone know what he means? It comes from 19:45-24:00 of the video. I am not muslim, but I do sometimes watch zakir's (and many other people's) videos from time to time, as I get insights into different cultural thought processes.

Anyone who says that Darwin concept is jibber jabber is living in ignorance. It is literally the most beautifully succint and most empirically supported idea ever...it is astonishing. If anything it's one of the few scientific theories not requiring a healthy imagination or an ironic devotion to believe in.
I don't know why religious folks would be threatened by the fossil record and biology unless they take the works of the great religions as a literal word for word translation -which is again ridiculous in that almost no one reads these texts in their native language
, nor their original version, and absolutely no one reads them in the age and context they were written in -so the entymology of words isn't really even truly understood.
So religious texts are big allegorical ideas written for uneducated Bedouin tribes. To think it has any relation to literal science is silly. And in no way does Darwin's ideas preclude a supreme being or creator or such.

I myself love to study science and the great religions but to me they are completely opposite endeavors
I also love to study different religions and science at the same time. But my general question was that he quickly states that "neanderthals" and "icemen" weren't related, is this some scientific study that has been done?

How can't they not be related they are both homo.

First, you can be sure he hasn't done the study himself. Second he would need to define what iceman he is referring to... We have found lots of ancient bodies in the ice -some of which were cro-mag on some Neanderthals and some others -as to related,..Darwin's ideas don't make any statement that there is a lineage from one type to another -only that we came from a cOmmon ancestors -I think the uneducated, ignorant, and misinformed do not understand this -they also think Darwin's theory says we came from chips or monkeys -which it does not at all say this.
This guy is probably referring to Otzi or one of the other famous ice men, who by the Otzi is closer related to Neadertals than you or I.
Lost Looking through Platinum Member
I don't think they have to be really. If the god exists or lets just say the universe.
Is it that far fetched to think a creator would design creatures that could adapt and
survive with minimal manipulation.
Its like building anything reliable it could be modified and used for many years. Whether that be a gun, clothing, or if we go back far enough the wheel.
What I said was really far-fetched but whatever

Of course evolution is "just a theory". Gravity is also "just a theory" as is heliocentricsm, electro-magnetism, and anything else that any scientist in the history of science has ever proposed, regardless of the evidence.

Exactly nothing in science is absolute. That being said evolution is fact we have made animals evolve ourselves. Example being Dogs. It amazes me how people still act weird about evolution.
TeTe Favorite Worst Nightmare Staff Member Senior Moderator
Nothing wrong with being religious and believing on evolution.
Then again, the only religion that I sort of practice doesn't really subscribe to the idea of "god" so who knows.
TeTe, Sep 30, 2013
Lost said: ↑
People simply don't understand evolution. Most any nay-sayer that I ever hear, has a misconception of what it is and how it works. It's understandable that "man coming from monkeys" doesn't make a lot of sense, but that's the whole problem, people think that man came from monkeys, instead of understanding that a monkey is just your 1,000,000,000,000,000th cousin.
Exactly. I had a hard time understanding long term evolution for a long time until I watched some great documentaries explaining it.
That's why I said "great religions" (as in size -not value) as in Islam, Judaism, Christianity, hinduism etc..... They tend to not be rooted or require the science or facts of the world as much as lifestyle and deity -as they are written to address conduct and duty and explain this in large allegorical methods.
Plenty of other religions are more intertwined in the natural world and the sciences
Oh I got you now.
TheStruggle Yellow Card Double Yellow Card
TheStruggle, Sep 30, 2013
In many ways, the amount of indepedent differentiated evidence explaining evolution is much stronger than gravity.
No kidding. Explaining gravity on the quantum level will make your head explode. It doesn't add up without again creating "ether" or a comoslogical constant -which is code for saying "we are reverting back to the explanations of years past because its easier for now to make our math work"

Melbourne's Airport Rail Link will be routed through it. The Victorian Planning Authority will be finalising one of its National Employment and Innovation Cluster frameworks around it. And now, savvy developers and investors alike are turning their attention to it and reinvigorating its housing market.
The suburb is Sunshine North, and according to property forecasters and industry experts alike, it's time in the spotlight is now.
With the level of activity and investment being pumped into Sunshine North and its surrounds it is little wonder why the humble western locale is being touted by many as Melbourne's next boom suburb. It's a sentiment sure to spread with Urbis data reaffirming Sunshine North has all the markers for success.
With a population that has grown by over 13 per cent since 2006, and one that is forecast to increase by a further 22 per cent by 2026, Sunshine North's demographic profile shows levels of change and gentrification higher than any other in Victoria. To understand Sunshine North's progress, and what's next for the suburb, we must consider how it all began.
Pre-war Sunshine, or Braybrook Junction as it was first named in 1860, was the home of the country's largest manufacturing plant and the birthplace of the minimum living wage for Australian workers. The agricultural machinery manufacturing business, and the 400-acre company town Sunshine Estate that grew along with it, inspired a rebrand of the area.
In 1906, the plant was renamed the Sunshine Harvester Works. A year later residents and workers had successfully petitioned for the train station, post office, and shire riding's names to also change from Braybrook Junction to Sunshine in its honour. Developed with reference to the ideals of the Garden City movement, Sunshine Estate became regarded as a model industry-centred community and the "Birmingham of Australia".
More formerly, the area went by the Shire of Braybrook (1871–1951), the City of Sunshine (1951-1994) and finally as we know it now, the City of Brimbank. In that time, its connections to the sprawling city of Melbourne strengthened with car-based travel enabling people to leave the inner-city and move into homes on larger blocks in suburbia.
Decades, later we are seeing this desire for city-fringe living return, with the area's rich transport infrastructure a huge draw card for young professionals and families. Even before it was announced as the route Melbourne's new Airport Rail Link will take, Sunshine Station was one of Victoria's most important regional rail hubs with all three of the main western region V/Line lines (Ballart, Bendigo and Geelong) meeting at Sunshine.
Having endured the decline of Australian manufacturing, Sunshine North persevered with many heavy and light industrial companies still situated in and around the area. So much so that the greater Sunshine area is now one of Melbourne's principal employment clusters outside the CBD and recognised as one of state's industrial heartlands.
With a range of thriving businesses to build on, well-developed service centres, important regional institutions and a diverse local population, Sunshine North is perfectly placed to influence the specialised activities and major investments to service the growth in Melbourne's western subregion. Such efforts are in the process of being formalised by the Victorian Planning Authority (VPA), which is currently finalising its Sunshine National Employment and Innovation Cluster (Sunshine Cluster) Framework Plan for submission to the Minister of Planning for approval.
The framework plan is an important step forward in the implementation of Plan Melbourne 2017-2050. It is a coordinated action plan aimed at increasing employment by driving economic growth in the suburbs through harmonised public and private investment.
The plan shows that Melbourne's west is "open for business," that there is a clear investment pipeline and a vision for how this city-shaping project will be delivered. This document defines actions to build on investment in healthcare and education, to improve the amenity of the Sunshine Cluster, to encourage the establishment of new businesses and services, to improve transport links and public transport and to coordinate business attraction and investment.
It also gives the Victorian Government, councils, developers, business and residential communities greater certainty and confidence about future development within the Sunshine Cluster.
Based on the VPA's job estimates for 2051, the Sunshine Cluster (which currently provides 14,600 jobs), could see an additional 13,800 created by 2036. Such local employment, population and industry growth will of course lead to continued demand and requirement for housing in the area, with Brimbank City Council estimating that approximately a thousand dwellings will be required by 2036.
Sunshine North is already witnessing the conversion of former industrial and greenfield sites into residential homes and commercial developments with land here highly sought after and primed for redevelopment. ABS census data confirms gentrification is occurring at significantly higher levels of change compared with Greater Melbourne.
Sunshine North and its surrounds also reported a higher proportionate increase in white collar workers who reside in the area and higher average household income growth (up 47 per cent from $50,865 to $74,843 in the ten years to 2016, compared with Greater Melbourne's 44 per cent increase). As its residents evolve, so too must the area's residential offering.
While it has historically been characterised by detached dwellings, Sunshine North needs new infill developments to accommodate more lifestyle opportunities and varied typologies that cater to a wider social demographic. We need to diversify the housing mix and consider how townhouses and low-rise apartments can broaden the local property market to allow first home buyers, young professionals and those following employment to capitalise on Sunshine North's relative affordability respective to adjoining suburbs such as Footscray and its location respective to the CBD.
This is the missing piece of Sunshine North's development and infrastructure puzzle.
It will go a long way in our collective efforts to address the city's lack of housing choice and affordability pressures. Ultimately, the success of Sunshine North, the Sunshine National Innovation and Employment Cluster and its residents relies on the collaborative efforts of its private and public stakeholders.
If we continue with this shared vision, we will enable Sunshine to grow into an economic powerhouse fuelled by premium housing choice, infrastructure and services.

Cleveland Browns - 2 Round Draft Scenario - What Would You Do?
#1: Bradley Chubb - Pairing two potential dominating ends together tends to be a good recipe for success.
#4: Minkah Fitzpatrick - Correcting the mistake of drafting Peppers at all by relegating him to the return game.
#64: Rashaad Penny - Quality RB with massive production and good vision, natural receiver and returner.
I also think as an NFL scout I'd be trying to work Jerome Baker out as a SS player in the mold of a Cam Chancellor as he tends to do better in space than in a mess of bodies at LB. If you like his workout he could be a mid round steal with the position switch, he wouldn't have to deal with trying to bulk up and I think it's a more natural fit for his body type. I also think whoever lands the OSU ends (Holmes and Lewis) in the mid rounds are going to get good bang for their buck. They may not end up being pro-bowl players but should at least be valuable rotation players.
Again this is all more or less my boredom going crazy. Maybe it'll help you pass the time today as well.

The PE ratio is a simple way to assess whether a stock is over or under valued and is the most widely used valuation measure. Dollar Tree PE ratio as of April 23, 2019 is 20.06.


Start by making a resolution that you are going to follow through this exercise without interruptions.
Do it with careful attention, very slowly, and notice each part of the task as you do it. See how easy it is to speed up again as you forget that you are trying to do it slowly!
Take the kettle and fill it with water, turning the tap on slowly, turning it off with great caution. Place the kettle back on the stove without a bump; wait for it to boil. Don't go off and do ten jobs while it comes to the boil.
Take out your cup and place the tea bag into it and very carefully pour the water onto it. Gently stir and then remove the tea bag. Walk slowly over to the refrigerator, open the door carefully, take out the milk and close the door.
Walk back to the cup and pour in the milk as slowly as you can, and then return it to the refrigerator.
Sit down. Wait. Pick up the cup carefully, as though it would break if you touched it forcefully. Bring the cup to your mouth very slowly. Sip the tea and really taste it, feel the texture of it, notice the temperature of it.
Place the cup down, wait, pause, pick it up again and continue like this until you have finished. Notice how often during this simple routine your mind wanders on to something else.
How often your mind wanders off elsewhere.
If you do this a number of times, you will recognize that we spend very little time in the present.
So much of the day is spent doing things physically, while the mind is somewhere else, leading to confusion, forgetfulness, and a feeling of not being in control.
Do I listen well to others?
Reflect inward more frequently and check in to what is going on inside. Try to make space between tasks that you do, consciously completing one before you start the next. Finish the day by recapping what you have done during the day.

Ask Laura: What Heart Rate Monitor Would I Buy?
Are you recommending the Timex Triathlon Digital HRM? If so, how do you like it? I might be in the market for a new one.
I've had my Timex Ironman Heart Rate Monitor for over six years. It is really accurate and the velcro strap makes it really easy to attach, even though it sticks to my clothes sometimes. I've replaced the batteries, but I haven't had a bit of trouble with it giving me weird readings, now that I learned the KY Jelly trick (see Starling Fitness » How To Get The Most Out of Your Heart Rate Monitor). I bought it because it was cheaper than the Polar heart rate monitors that were around back then. Now, I think Polar makes a bottom of the line monitor that's close to the Timex in price. I can't compare because I've never used Polar.
I think some exercise machines at my gym will work with Polar Heart Rate Monitors and let me use their cardio programs, but I've never tried anything like that. If you go to a gym, that might be a consideration. Talk to the people at your gym and see if they have any recommendations.
I think if I had to buy another heart rate monitor, I would go with the women's Timex Ironman just because the one I had was so easy to use and it lasted so long. Plus, I have all that 1970's marketing in my head.
How can I escape that?
Seriously, though, heart rate monitors are just tools and they won't make us any fitter if we don't use them.

Insights | Articles | Create an IP strategy early on and avoid common pitfalls
Create an IP strategy early on and avoid common pitfalls
Intellectual property (IP) can help support a competitive advantage in the market and provide a valuable asset that can help grow your business. The reality faced by entrepreneurs is that legal services can be expensive and IP protection may not be an initial priority. But having an IP strategy can help you get the most from your IP and help minimize common pitfalls and legal expenses.
IP by itself will not make a company succeed, no more than writing a song will make someone a rock star. Having a business strategy that includes an IP strategy will help you make informed decisions, identify opportunities, reduce unforeseen costs and improve your negotiation positions while avoiding long-term negative consequences. Demonstrating that you have an IP strategy will be highly valued by any future investors, especially if IP is your main business asset.
While there are many types of IP protection available to businesses, four areas to consider as part of your IP strategy include trade marks, patents, copyright and ownership.
Trade marks serve as a badge of origin for a business's goods and/or services and may accumulate a significant amount of value over time through commercial use. It's best to select a mark and use it consistently. Also make sure to use marks together with their appropriate symbols (™ for unregistered trade marks and ® for registered trade marks). Using the appropriate symbols serves as a notice to others that the brand names are being used as trade marks, providing the owner with rights to stop others using the same or confusingly similar names.
There is nothing wrong with using unregistered trade marks to save costs during the early stages of a venture. However, it is important to understand that registered trade marks are deemed to be valid and easier to enforce should a third party decide to use a similar or identical mark for similar or identical goods or services. Unregistered trade mark rights will need to be proven first before they can be enforced. This, in itself, is an expensive legal step. Registering a trade mark also ensures freedom-to-use and is the best way to prevent trade mark hijacking in civil law countries such as China. Further, registering trade marks worldwide has become much more affordable thanks to cost savings made possible by the Madrid Protocol.
A major pitfall for businesses is to have their brand slapped with a court injunction just as their goods or services are being launched. It's wise to run a check to determine if your trade mark is available for use, not only for the New Zealand market, but for any major foreign markets that may be entered into in the future.
Patents can be a key asset for a company, and their importance depends on a number of factors including the nature of the technology, the business model and the type of funding required. Many businesses rely on patents for the defensive aspect of establishing and protecting a core technological competency, and as a valuable asset for valuation purposes. Others use patents more aggressively to seek out joint ventures and licensing opportunities or to merely protect their own patch in the market.
The smartest strategy for a company with a limited IP budget is to ensure they do not prevent themselves from obtaining patent protection at a future date unless, for example, it is a deliberate tactic for the company to publish a specific technology into the public domain to ensure it cannot be patented by anyone else. Otherwise, a company should never publicly disclose their invention to anyone without a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) until a decision is made to patent the technology and file an initial patent application.
Before entering a market with a new product, a 'freedom to operate' (FTO) check can be done to identify potential infringement of pre-existing patent rights. The cost of having a clearance search carried out by an attorney is minimal compared to being completely shut out of a market by a competitor. The data from the search can also be used to gather market intelligence such as possible partners/competitors and patenting trends specific to a given technology.
Copyright is an incredibly useful form of IP protection for businesses because it is free and covers a wide range of IP assets. Copyright arises automatically as it gets created and applies to assets including software codes, design drawings, logo designs, packaging designs, web pages and various forms of marketing materials. Make sure to use the copyright symbol © along with the year of creation and name of the owner. It is also wise for a business to keep a record of its copyright assets.
Finally, if there is one item that's worth spending money on, whether it is during the early stages of a business or later on, it is to clarify ownership issues for IP assets that belong to the company. The cost of resolving IP ownership issues becomes exponentially more expensive as the venture starts to enjoy commercial success, and could even prevent the company from obtaining registered IP protection for disputed IP assets. Therefore, ownership of all IP should be clearly documented in writing for both employees and independent contractors. If in doubt, companies should check with their IP advisor before any ownership issue gets out of hand.

Pitched as an informal networking and digital detox night for creative folk, VHS & Chill has quickly become a popular monthly hangout. Host Lo-Fi Odysseys plays a winning combination of beat-tapes, cosmic jazz, soul, Afrobeat and other vibrations in the basement of The Alibi. Meanwhile … anime, nollywood, music docs and associated grainy home made visuals play on screen.
But it's the new talent showcase that really makes waves. Beat producers such as Scott Xylo and Schizm have travelled hours to play live sets, while songwriters Ruth-Ellen and Synead have performed tracks, and visual artists like Chiizii and Dorcas Creates have shared their illustrations. There's even been time to talk projects and productivity with Signatures magazine and the Part-Timers collective.

Q: How to replace "%2B" with "+" when calling RedirectToAction() I'm using the RedirectToAction() method in an ASP.NET Core 2.1 controller called CatalogController:
return RedirectToAction("search", new { search_string = "example+string" });

This redirects to a URL:
catalog/search/?search_string=example%2Bstring

How do I replace the %2B encoding with a + instead?
The URL should instead look like:
catalog/search/?search_string=example+string

A: The RedirectToAction() method assumes that any values passed via the RouteValues parameter are not encoded; the RedirectToAction() method will take care of the URL encoding on your behalf. As such, when you enter a +, it's treating it as a literal + symbol, not an encoded space.
%2B is the correct encoding for a literal + symbol. If you want a space to be encoded in the URL, then you should enter a space in your RouteValues dictionary (e.g., search_string = "example string"). This will encode the space as a %20.

Note: A %20 is the equivalent of a + in an encoded URL, so I'm assuming that will satisfy your requirements.

If your search_string value is coming from a URL encoded source, you will need to first decode it using e.g. WebUtility.UrlDecode(). That said, if you're retrieving your search_string value from an action parameter or binding model, this decoding should already be done for you.
If, for some reason, you want to treat literal + symbols as spaces, you'll need to explicitly perform that replace on your source value (e.g., search_string.Replace("+", " ")).


TONKAWA — Best-selling author David Grann will appear at Northern Oklahoma College Tonkawa Oct. 17 as part of the NOC Lectureship Series.
The event is sponsored by the Carl and Carolyn Renfro Endowed Lectureship Program and Northern Oklahoma College. The lecture will be held at the Renfro Center at NOC Tonkawa.
Killers of the Flower Moon: The Osage Murders and the Birth of the FBI tells the story of the Osage Indians, who, in the 1920s, became the wealthiest people in the world because of oil under their land in Oklahoma. They were then serially murdered off in one of the most sinister crimes in American history.
The case became among the FBI's first major homicide investigations. The FBI sent in a team of undercover agents, including one of the only Native Americans in the bureau. They eventually caught one of the masterminds. But, as Grann discovers, there was a deeper and darker conspiracy that the bureau never exposed.
A feature film is now in production with Martin Scorcese directing and starring Leonardo DeCaprio.
Tickets may be purchased on a first come, first served basis for the event beginning Thursday, Sept. 20 at 9 a.m.
A reserved table with seating for eight may be purchased for $300, which includes dinner in the Renfro Center. Dress attire is business casual.
Individual tickets for the lecture and dinner may be purchased at a cost of $20 each. The tickets are non-refundable.
Tickets may be purchased by credit card by calling (580) 628-6214 or in person at the NOC Development Office, Vineyard Library-Administration Building, NOC Tonkawa.
Former Oklahoma State Regent for Higher Education Carl Renfro and the late Carolyn Renfro established the Carl and Carolyn Renfro Endowed Lectureship Program with a gift in 2006 to provide support for cultivating and enhancing the cultural and community enrichment offerings to northern Oklahoma on the Tonkawa campus and in the Ponca City area.
Call the Northern Oklahoma College Development Office at (580) 628-6214 for additional information.
