LONDON, UK (GlobalData), 9 October 2012 - Increasing numbers of policies to promote solar power are emerging at both federal and state level in the US, in a bid to improve energy independence and lower carbon emissions, states a new report by power experts GlobalData.
The new report* states that the US solar power market has recorded massive growth over recent years, as the energy source has established its ability to improve US national energy security and boost the economy. Solar power incentives have resulted in increased installations, boosting demand for solar backsheets in the US.
The solar PV backsheet market in North America is dominated by the US, which accounted for over 85.3% of regional additions in 2011. The US solar Photovoltaic (PV) backsheet market is supported by the recently-extended Investment Tax Credits (ITC) and Production Tax Credits (PTC) programs, which alter traditional energy market dynamics. ITC provides tax credits to commercial and residential solar PV installers, and the US government also provides accelerated 5-year tax depreciation for residential systems or businesses under the power purchase agreement, supporting the solar PV market.
Over the last few years, the US Department of Energy (DOE) ran a loan guarantee program for renewable energy projects, but this program expired in September 2011, and the current extension of the Section 1603 Treasury Grant program is only set to last until October 2012. This begs the question, what does the future hold for this maturing market with a relative absence of financial support?
During 2009-2011, the US Department of the Treasury provided 3,731 grants for solar power projects, amounting to a total of $1.56 billion, for the installation of solar power projects equivalent to 1,290.64 megawatts (MW). Following the expiry of the Treasury Grant Program in 2012, ITC will continue to support solar power development until 2016, but after this funding plans are uncertain.
However, the recent proposal of the Clean Energy Standard Act of 2012 will support the future development of the US renewable power market. Utilities will be mandated to purchase power generated from cleaner sources, with a requirement of 24% expected to be set by 2015 which will increase by 3% every year until 2035. The US government has also increased spending on PV in federal buildings and the defense sector, investing in PV equipment for military power supplies and the government sector. These support mechanisms are expected to continue to open up high growth markets for PV backsheets.
Solar power programs such as Go Solar California and Austin Utilities Solar Choice program also show states taking matters into their own hands. California, the leading solar PV market in the US, was the first state to initiate a Feed-In-Tariff (FIT) system, and rapid development has followed the ambitious subsidy policies.

SGS Draft Survey Tool improves marine measuring method
SGS, the world's leading testing, inspection and certification group is pleased to announce its Draft Survey Tool (DST) is now available for use in trade applications across North America.
SGS, the world's leading testing, inspection and certification group is pleased to announce its Draft Survey Tool (DST) is now available for use in trade applications across North America. The DST is revolutionizing draft surveys as it is the only tool on the market that allows inspectors to measure, with more precision, the draft mark readings which are key for the weight determination on board a vessel, while also ensuring inspector safety.
A draft survey is a method of cargo weight determination where the vessel's displacement figures in empty and loaded condition are recorded. The difference between both scenarios determines the weight of the shipment loaded or unloaded from the vessel. The draft survey utilizes draft mark readings painted on the side of a vessel to determine the weight of the cargo. As a visual and subjective process, these marks had to be observed over time and from a distance in the water, from the deck of the vessel or from the port's quay, through precarious wind and wave swells. This could pose challenges when it came to safety of the inspector and accuracy of the readings.
However, the DST, through its digital readings, now allows inspectors to measure swells from the safety of the ship deck with the accuracy of a digital tool. This is a critical commercial requirement in today's complex transactions where a deviation of a single centimeter could result in a cargo weight overstatement or understatement by 100 metric tons or more, a significant cost that would have to be borne by either the shipper or the customer depending on the scenario.
Haritz Solachi, SGS Minerals Global Field Services Manager, says"SGS identified the challenges in collecting this valuable data and wanted to find a way to increase the accuracy for the customer and minimize the risk to the inspectors. Before the invention of the DST and DST Lite, an inspector conducting a draft survey would need to visually assess and measure the draft marks of a vessel, at their empty and loaded state, often by taking a boat into difficult and risky conditions. There had to be a better way to enhance the process, improve the accuracy and help control customers' costs,"
Watch video here for more details
A by-product of this research and development was the creation of the DST Lite, a device that performs the same functions in limited and confined space such as between barges or in connection with smaller vessels. Using the latest technologies, the DST tools can be adapted to all vessel shapes, sizes and measuring points with an accuracy within 2 millimeters in 30 meters. It is this kind of accuracy that speaks to the reliability of this method.
The algorithm allows for the removal of all of the waves from the readings taken at the six measuring points on a vessel, which establishes the average of each reading point. The results are transmitted in real time to an APP on a surveyor's phone in the case of the DST Lite, or saved into the device in the case of the DST which replaces pencil and paper. All of the dot points needed to calculate the final draft in the device are saved in the APP and stored in the cloud.
"SGS prides itself on attending to and anticipating the needs of its customers as it has for over 100 years. The invention of the DST is another example of finding ourselves on the leading edge of innovation. In valuing the safety of our inspectors, we also found a way to enhance the service and improve the accuracy of the results for our customers," said Carlos Cordoba, SGS Trades Director – North America Minerals.
During more than 100 years the draft survey service was conducted in the same way without significant changes in the original procedure or technological developments that help the surveyors, until now with the SGS Draft Survey Tool.
SGS is the world's leading inspection, verification, testing, and certification company. SGS is recognized as the global benchmark for quality and integrity. With more than 89,000 employees, SGS operates a network of over 2,600 offices and laboratories in 148 countries around the world.

Monitoring the effectiveness of wildlife passages for medium-sized and small mammals along HW 175. News bulletin No. 1.
The area affected by Highway 175 has been identified as an important connectivity zone for wildlife populations in the region, linking natural and semi-natural habitats east and west of the highway. As this is the first time that designated wildlife passages for small and medium-sized fauna have been constructed in Québec, there is an urgent need to evaluate their ability to improve connectivity for wildlife. This information is important for helping future road management implement wildlife passages along new highways and existing highways in Québec, in particular in the more fragmented southern forests of Québec. This research project will assess whether the wildlife passageways are effective in reducing the environmental impacts of the highway on medium-sized and small mammals. It will evaluate how well the performance objectives of the fences and passageways have been met and whether adaptive management is needed.

Yvonne Turner Helped Invent House Music—So Why Does No One Know Her Name?
by Lionel Casey July 13, 2019
Nineteen 80-4 is regularly remembered as one of pop's most seismic years, thank you in abundant element to Prince and Madonna. But it changed into additionally the 12 months that gave us house track. Jesse Saunders' "On and On" is widely considered to be the first house record to come out of the clubs in Chicago. Around the same time in New York, even though Colonel Abrams' debut unmarried, "Music Is the Answer," signified a shift past disco and boogie toward that stripped-down, unnamed sound. The instrumental dub model on the B-facet mainly was given play on the Loft and the Paradise Garage in New York, Ron Hardy and Farley "Jackmaster" Funk in Chicago, and via Jeff Mills in Detroit, the chorus turning into an anthem. The mix became credited to Evan Turner, but it'd turn out to be his only manufacturing credit.
Or become it?
Evan Turner became Yvonne Turner, a prolific, if abridged, manufacturer, mixer, and remixer. Being erroneously credited became simply the beginning: On subsequent pressings of "Music Is the Answer," her name became left off altogether. These types of errors and misprints make piecing together Turner's discography mainly complicated. She was frequently relegated to the critical points, bumped to the companion or co-producer repute, marked as a mixer instead of the remixer. In dance tunes, it's assumed that the singer is secondary to the manufacturer inside the innovative technique. However, the inverse is proper for Turner. Many male vocalists she worked with—be it Abrams, Willie Colón, or Arnold Jarvis—got credit scores for the track.
Viewed as the whole, Turner's frame of remix and production work is ambitious. It had a long-lasting effect now not handiest at the early days of residence song—as heard inside the producers that immediately came after her, like Masters at Work, Mood II Swing, and Kerri Chandler—however also in the genre's offshoots, together with storage song and Italian dream house. After decades of silence, Turner seeks to set the file instantly about her area in dance-track records. "If I had been a man, it wouldn't have happened in that manner, now not being known as for paintings anymore," she tells me. "Being a lady, that's the way it is going. I had to kick the door back off."
The youngest of 3, Turner was born in 1953 in Harlem; however soon moved to the South Bronx Trinity Projects, later to Hollis, Queens. She says her most vivid formative years recollections have been of "the Latin percussionists playing in the road… those heat summertime days when the community could come alive with the tune." Turner sang in school and taught herself a few guitars. As a youngster, she discovered herself in charge of the music for her mother and stepfather's summertime parties. By the late '70s, she started out DJing at picnics, and boat rides across the city, even trekking out to Flatbush Avenue in Brooklyn to play at a nightclub known as Ozone Layer. A Jamaican promoter endowed her with the nickname "Night Nurse," a homage to the Gregory Isaacs hit.
"She knew her shit, and she had a top-notch taste," says Arthur Baker, the producer and remixer accountable for classics like Afrika Bambaataa's "Planet Rock" and New Order's "Thieves Like Us." He first met Turner at Downstairs Records in Midtown, where she bought the contemporary singles and imports to Baker, Larry Levan, and the relaxation of New York's DJ community. In 1983, Baker hired her at his label, Streetwise Records. Her first process changed into in the mailroom, but she says she usually saved abreast of what turned into happening inside the golf equipment.

How the attempt to organize resulted in reminiscing about my past.
For the last few weeks I have been searching for a project which has a tangible sense of accomplishment, an end product. Finally, I've found some projects around my home where I can achieve that. I don't consider myself a hoarder but I do hold onto sentimental objects and especially pictures with an inexplicable fanaticism. I have always loved photographs and even in college took many pictures of friends and displayed them in my dorm rooms. I loved taking photography classes and relished the time I was able to spend in the dark room developing photographs. Back in the early eighties we took pictures with actual black and white film, you never were sure you had the shot until you went into the dark room and saw the magic happen on the photo paper. I remember being assigned to take two to four roll of thirty six pictures a week. Film was expensive, photo paper was expensive but the process was so exhilarating that I did everything in my power to make some extra cash to buy my supplies.
Over the years I have taken thousand upon thousands of photographs. Most of them I have saved, including the negatives. Pictures of my kids, friends, family and events are all documented in these photographs. Sure I have albums. I made sure I had an album documenting basic childhood milestones for each of my three children. Although, I must admit for my third child I may have substituted some of his baby pictures with those of his brother, my firstborn who has about a million pictures.
Even with these three photo albums there were giant crates of pictures lining the cabinets of my garage. Every summers when I was teaching I told myself, this year I will organized all of the pictures in those crates. And each summer I found something else to do. Well now that I am retired and home much more I had no more excuses.
For days I poured over each picture. Who were all of the people in the picture? What year was this? I remembered stories of the college parties, the pet bunnies, the vacations, and so many more sweet memories of my family and friends. The floor of my living room was strewn with piles of pictures. I've saved friends' Christmas card photos, shots of tee ball practice, holidays and birthdays. Each photograph had a story to tell of my life. Many of the pictures were duplicates, because you often took three or four pictures in the hope of getting one good one. But my mission was to create photo albums chronologically. I loved every minute of the project. For many hours I would think of the Jim Croce song "Time in a Bottle" where you can "save every day until eternity passes away." By honoring the photographs and assigning them a place in my albums I feel as though I am giving that photograph a voice and an opportunity for the story in the picture to be told again and again. Reluctantly, I threw away pictures that were blurry, duplicate or had heads missing. Unless those pictures were from my childhood, because the majority of the pictures my mom took included the tallest person being beheaded.
I was able to dwindle down the enormous amount of pictures to just two albums and one small box. How is it that all the stories can be so succinctly edited to two books? But they are given the place of honor in my albums. Hopefully to be seen by many eyes.
It is interesting to see when the pictures stop in time. They stop when we started using digital technology to take over the documentation process. I worry that so many pictures are on jump drives and discs and can so easily be discarded. But I know in my heart that the memories will last forever.


A one-day highly practical course for everyone needing to know more about how to invest cash surpluses for optimum rates. This course will examine the range of available financial instruments in Sterling, Dollars and the Euro and discuss the essentials of the relevant interest calculations, the role of LIBOR, day counts and market practice. Should the funds be invested with banks, building societies or even the newer Money Market Funds -what about Credit Risk?
This course will be useful for treasurers and their staff, cash managers, auditors, accountants, financial control, fund managers, marketing and sales personnel in banks and brokers.
Which banks shall I use?


Dang! Is it June already?? Time is flying by... I'm starting the month off with an empty laundry basket, a re-organized closet from a good purging session, a rested body and mind from a Sunday afternoon nap (during a crazy thunderstorm - the best), a semi-packed bag for the beach, and an eye free of a torn contact lens that only took me 12 hours to find (don't ask). All I know is that prayer works! Anyway, here are some favorite things from my last weekend of May. I hope you have a great first week of June!


The article on the Mufti is more than twice as long as the articles on Goebbels and Göring, longer than the articles on Himmler and Heydrich combined, longer than the article on Eichmann — of all the biographical articles, it is exceeded in length, but only slightly, by the entry on Hitler.
There is much more to Zionist distortions of the mufti's wartime role than its vast overemphasis in the Encyclopedia of the Holocaust. In fact, accusations that the mufti (the title given a judge of Islamic law) was not only privy to, but deeply involved in the alleged genocide of the Jews have been a staple of Zionist propaganda since 1945.
To be sure, Husseini was no friend of Israel. Of a prominent Palestinian family, the young ex-Ottoman officer was appointed mufti of Jerusalem, at British behest, early in their mandate over Palestine. Any hopes that Husseini would prove a colonial tool were dashed when he led the resistance to Britain's pro-Jewish policies, culminating in the Arab revolt of 1936-1939. After he fled Palestine, the onset of war and his role in an unsuccessful rising against the British in Iraq drove Husseini to Axis Europe in 1941.
There, according to objective historians, the mufti helped the Germans with propaganda and recruiting among his fellow Muslims, steadfastly opposing any German actions that would facilitate Jewish emigration to Palestine (which National Socialist policy had earlier supported).
Shortly after Israeli agents kidnapped Adolf Eichmann and spirited him to his show trial in Israel, the once prominent journalist Quentin Reynolds was hired by the Israelis to do a hatchet job on Eichmann. Based on material supplied by the Zionists, Reynolds's Minister of Death claimed that the mufti had been a close confidante of Eichmann, and had displayed an avid interest in the extermination machinery. Reynolds quoted the mufti as telling friends "the Palestine problem will not be solved in a diplomatic conference but by other means — simple and radical like the gas chambers," and reported that "[h]is green turban was seen many times in Auschwitz, Treblinka, and Majdanek." Yet the author offered no sources for any of these claims, which were published by Harold Guinzburg's respected Viking Press in 1960.
While the more scrupulous Zionist writers have fallen back on weasel words, and the mufti goes unmentioned in such orthodox versions of the Holocaust as Hilberg's and Reitlinger's, the diabolization of the Palestinian freedon fighter by the Holocaust lobby continues. The website of the tax-supported Simon Wiesenthal Center's, carrying on its namesake's libels, profiles the mufti as follows: "He supported the Nazis, and especially their program for the mass murder of the Jews. He visited numerous death camps[,] encouraged Hitler do [sic] the extend the 'Final Solution' to the Jews of North Africa and Palestine." (at http://motlc.wiesenthal org/pages/t031/t03148.html) Any search of the Internet will reveal many similar accusations.
As Palestinians and other Arabs discover the revisionist challenge to orthodoxy on the alleged Jewish Holocaust, they are taxed by Zionists with wielding "denial" as a weapon against Israel. Yet long before most Palestinians had ever heard of the Holocaust, they were being smeared for complicity in it, thanks to lies about one of their greatest leaders, Haj Amin al Husseini, mufti of Jerusalem.

VIDEO: Alumni's Work Selected for the Inside Out Toronto LGBT Film Festival for Fourth Consecutive Year
By: Zac Schraeder
Last year, Kyle Reaume's short film What about Shelley made its world premiere at the Inside Out Toronto LGBT Film Festival. Kyle, a graduate of the Film Production Diploma program at Toronto Film School, will return to the festival this year to screen his new short film Vertical Lines. He met with Toronto Film School Student Advisor and writer, Zac Schraeder, to talk about the film. Advisory: this article contains themes of self-harm and suicide.
Zac Schraeder: Vertical Lines shines a light on issues of self-harm and suicide in the context of a budding queer relationship. Why was it important for you to make a film about this?
Kyle Reaume: It's important to me for many reasons. It's my own story, and it's something I've rarely talked about. There are many people who know me and see my scars, but they don't know the story behind them. Making this film has allowed me to talk about it and, in a way, lay it to rest. Framing it in a queer narrative was always part of the way I imagined the story because so many of us in the LGBTQ+ community struggle with these issues. This film is also my way of normalizing conversation around self-harm and suicide. It takes a lot of guts to say "I tried to kill myself" – and being able to talk about it openly can help you move on from it. If one person sees this film and feels like they can talk about their past like the characters do, I've done my job.
ZS: After winning the BravoFACT Pitch Competition grant, your film What about Shelley premiered at Inside Out's Toronto LGBT Film Festival last year. Compared to 2017, how has this experience been different with a self-funded short?
KR: In a way, my mandate with this film is in response to making such a well-funded short last year. This time I am showing that filmmakers can make a short film on their own terms, whether it's with their own money and resources, or even no money at all. We have made this short for next to nothing, and it's the one I'm most proud of. Making it with virtually no money is not always easy. I had to make certain sacrifices – like a reduced crew and minimal equipment. But for this story, I knew we didn't need much.
ZS: Did any other Toronto Film School graduates work on your cast or crew for Vertical Lines?
KR: Of course they did! My producer Rafaela Scully and I have been working together since we met at Toronto Film School! She's produced all four of my shorts and is just one of the many connections I've held with fellow Toronto Film School Alumni. We also have Alex Laurenza on our camera team, and she's also worked on every short I've made. I've kept my Toronto Film School buddies close!
ZS: When and where did Vertical Lines premiere?
KR: Vertical Lines had its world premiere at BFI Flare: The London LGBTQ+ Film Festival in March, which I got to attend with my co-producer Brendan Whelton. It was a truly spectacular experience to be able to travel to the United Kingdom for it.
ZS: What is Kyle Reaume up to now? What's next?
KR: I'm slowly getting the wheels turning on my next short. I'm definitely looking into funding for this one. I won't say what it's about just yet, but it will feature around a renowned queer Toronto space! Maybe you'll see it a film festival near you in 2019.
This will be Kyle Reaume's fourth appearance at the Inside Out Toronto LGBT Film Festival. Previous entries include What Makes me a Woman (2015), Ecstasy (2016), and What About Shelley(2017). Click the links to watch!
Vertical Lines makes its Canadian and hometown premiere at Inside Out Toronto LGBT Film Festival as part of the Local Heroes program on Thursday, May 31st, 6:45 pm at the TIFF Bell Lightbox.


France abounds with Antique Shops and Depot Ventes, There are also frequent car boot sales called Vide Grenniers held throughout the year but principally in the summer months.
The Depot Vente concept is a very popular way of selling unwanted items in France. All are strictly regulated by French authorities. The items on sale are coded and priced and once sold the money remitted to the vendor whilst the Depot Vente keeps a percentage as a commission. The purchaser then has a week in which the goods can be returned should they be faulty.
Antique and Collectables sales are also held inside, frequently in places such as village Salle de Fetes. Sales go under the names of Marché des Brocantes, Marché des Antiquities. There are also Marché des Puces (Flea Markets) held regularly in the larger towns.
http://vide-greniers.org/ - this site includes an interactive map.
Both sites recommend double checking the events or else take a chance because from time to time an event may be cancelled and the organiser forgets to inform the site.
Newsagents also sell a Calendrier des Brocantes for each year. This generally goes on sale in March.
www.trocanglaise.com . The site not only has an antiques and collectables section but also sells a variety of other items from cars to travel tickets.


At the beginning of the Seven Years' War, Frederick II converged the grenadier companies of his infantry into elite battalions. Thus the grenadiers of the wing companies from II. and III. Garde Bataillon (2 coys) and Prinz von Preußen Infantry (2 coys) were converged into the Grenadier Battalion 15/18 counting four companies.
In 1760, after the Battle of Torgau, this grenadier battalion was converged with Grenadier Battalion 3/6.
On August 26 1756, when a Prussian army proceeded to the invasion of Saxony, the battalion was part of the centre column led by Frederick II. More precisely, it belonged to Keith's Corps. The centre column had concentrated at Brietzen and advanced unopposed upstream along the Elbe River by Torgau and Wittenberg, leaving Meissen to its left. On September 6, it encamped at Rothschönberg and finally reached Wilsdruf. In October, after the capitulation of the Saxon Army at Pirna, the battalion accompanied Frederick to Lobositz to bring back Keith's army to the area of Dresden. On October 22, it was part of the 10 battalions of Frederick's force who left Lobositz for Linai.
In April 1757, the battalion took part in the invasion of Bohemia. On May 6, it did not take part in the Battle of Prague, being rather deployed on the left bank of the Moldau near the Weissenberg as part of Keith's corps. On September 7, when an Austrian force under the command of General Nádasdy attacked Winterfeldt's isolated corps in the Combat of Moys, the battalion was deployed in the first line of the right wing. On November 22, the battalion took part in the Battle of Breslau where it was deployed in Wietersheim's Brigade, in the first line of the infantry right wing under Lieutenant-General von Brandes. On December 5 at the Battle of Leuthen, the battalion was deployed in the refused right flank protecting the Prussian infantry.
In the Spring of 1758, the battalion took part in the invasion of Moravia. On May 1, the battalion was left behind at Troppau to keep communications opened with Silesia. On June 8, it reinforced Mayr's Corps posted on the left bank of the March River. However, on June 10, the battalion was sent back to Troppau. On October 14, the battalion took part in the Battle of Hochkirch where it was initially deployed in Manteuffel's Corps, en potence towards Lauske, on the extreme left flank of the Prussian positions. Around 8:00 a.m., it stopped the advanced of Arenberg's columns who were trying to move across the defile of Koditz. However, the battalion along with its commander was finally overwhelmed and forced to surrender. The battalion was later re-established after an exchange of prisoners.
On August 15 1760, the battalion took part in the Battle of Liegnitz where it was deployed in the first line of the right wing in Stutterheim's Brigade. On September 17, it was present at the Combat of Hochgiersdorf where it formed part of the rearguard. On November 3, it fought in the bloody Battle of Torgau where it belonged to the first column of Frederick's Army.
In August 1761, the battalion was part of Frederick's Army who encamped in the entrenched camp of Bunzelwitz (present-day Bolesławice) near Schweidnitz in Lower Silesia.
On July 21 1762, the battalion took part in the Battle of Burkersdorf where it was attached to the vanguard. On August 16, it took part in the Battle of Reichenbach. It was also at the siege and recapture of Schweidnitz.
The grenadiers wore the uniform of their own regiments. For details about these uniforms, please refer to the articles related to regiments II. and III. Garde Bataillon and Prinz von Preußen.

To lay a curse on an enemy, you'll need some Belladonna, which can be difficult to find, but I was lucky enough to come across when I was out for a walk recently.
People tend to get rid of it as it's poisonous, but you can still find it occasionally. Just remember you need to be extremely careful with it and keep it well away from kids and pets. Belladonna really is as deadly as its common name "Deadly Nightshade" suggests.
Light the black candle, and as it burns, focus all of your attention on the person that you are cursing, and why you are doing it. Make sure that you do this with all the intent and emotional intensity that you can muster as you cast the spell.
Put all of the correspondences (ingredients) into the bottle, and when the candle has started to melt, carefully start to drip the wax into the bottle. You are aiming to fill it up to at least a third, so it's a good idea to start with a bottle that's not too large. You also need to cover all of the ingredients with the wax. As you do this, again focus on your purpose for doing it, and add all of that intent into the working.
Finally, spit into the bottle and say "a curse be upon you" five times and seal the bottle up.

Dr. Duke and my self were talking about the nutrition bug, it isn't dropping at all.
He asked me to kill him to test the hydration. My 1st shot missed and my 2nd shot said he was already dead and he did not go any where.
I did not see any damage message on my screen only that I missed.
Dr. Duke did not get a damage message either.
I know this isnt the suggestion forums, but how about writing into the bot somewhere" if HP is Less than 0 then send to " otherwise you wither have to make your way to GZ and click the crystal or wait all 362 HP to be sent to the pagoda O_O.
maybe because that is already in the bot?
maybe theres another factor that is involved in this scenario that is causing it to glitch?

Joshua Young charged with assault
Police: Former murder defendant punched girl so hard she vomited.
Joshua Young charged with assault Police: Former murder defendant punched girl so hard she vomited. Check out this story on courier-journal.com: http://cjky.it/1idkN8B
The Courier-Journal; Published 3:51 p.m. ET April 22, 2014
Joshua Young, the teen acquitted in August of beating his 14-year-old stepbrother to death, pleaded not guilty to assault and wanton endangerment charges Monday after allegedly choking and punching his 18-year-old live-in girlfriend Saturday.
Louisville Metro Police say Young, 18, grabbed his girlfriend's left arm so hard that it left bruises, punched her with so much force that she vomited and later choked and smothered her with a pillow.
He was arrested Saturday morning on Cooper Village Terrace in Okolona and is being lodged on $10,000 bond in Metro Corrections.
He will appear in court again May 1.
Young previously faced charges related to the May 2011 death of his stepbrother, Trey Zwicker, but a Jefferson Circuit Court jury found him not guilty on a charge of complicity to murder and one count of tampering with physical evidence.
Joshua Gouker, Young's father, is serving life in prison for Trey's murder after he confessed to killing the boy behind Liberty High School on East Indian Trail. Gouker initially told police Young had confessed to killing Trey but later said Young had no involvement in the slaying.
Reporter Patrick T. Sullivan can be reached at (502) 582-4335 or on Twitter by following @CJ_PSullivan.

Stars Return with Two New Songs, 'Privilege' and 'We Called It Love'
New record coming later this year.
By staff Music News, New Releases 16.06.2017
Stars delivered two new songs Friday, along with an announcement that a new record will arrive later this year.
"Privilege" and "We Called It Love" are available for your listening pleasure. No news on a record release date yet, but the band's new global deal is with Last Gang Records /eOne. "We are thrilled to have Stars as part of the Last Gang family," says eOne Music Global President, Chris Taylor. "The world needs more poetry set to music and it's exciting that we'll get to help share it with the masses."
Check out the new songs below.
"We Called It Love"
Artist: Stars


She has not snowballed it, you did, as well as labeling her incorrectly and jumping to conclusions from the get go. But, hey, 'tis par the course here at ATS, I should just sit back and expect it by now.
I might have a dozen posts in this thread, compared to nearly a week long Twitter tantrum on the part of the Tararist.
I really haven't snowballed anything.
Without your input, we wouldn't know of this or care, now would we?
It appears to me that Tara is mostly tweet ranting/insulting about Trump, which everyone seems to be doing - everywhere.
Are you a Trump supporter, by chance?
The Tararist has just had a real ego check, outside of the comfort of her echo chambers.
Oh, to any normal person, this would be an ego check. I guarantee you, however, that she will remain convinced that she is entirely blameless. This will be nothing more than a confirmation for her that the world/right wing/internet/patriarchy/etc really is out to get her.
If I was a gambling man, I'd put $100 on her claiming within the next month that "they" are trying to silence her because she is so "dangerous", what with being such a pretty, intelligent, articulate, and all-round amazing person with a gift for witty one-liners that put those pesky slack-jawed redneck rightwing Trumspters in their place.
You have already judged her without a trial, and a non-compassionate one at that.
She put the victim on trial in the worst possible way - in a court of opinion where she is the prosecutor AND the judge, and the only person allowed to adduce evidence or make arguments.
If that is true, then she is doing what all of you are doing here...kettle/pot.
This is not the only message board with this story. Though, this thread is by far the most objective and accurate.
You also keep coming back to my "mislabeling" her as a "useless SJW", but that label too is accurate. If you will look at the comments on various sites running this video, you will see actual SJW's begging her to drop it and move on. The Tararist is a real martyr without a cause, as in the realm of public opinion, almost nobody wishes for her support. Nobody is buying her vicarious suffering.
Nobody will hire her. She is indeed useless. Her toxicity is recognized even by those she claims as allies.
Not even a close match. This is a discussion board. You subscribe to post here nd adhere to rules. We are not broadcasting this at all, like she willingly has done on Twitter and YouTube. Your BIAS is showing when you insist only Trump supporters side against her slanderous and criminal actions. If you'd bother to read xojane.com, there are plenty of feminist Hillary supporters that think she is not one of them and is justified in getting in trouble for her actions. Don't make this into a Trump thing, it's not, it's a personal action thing. Period.
You really show your dislike of Trump and your BIAS and disregard for the laws we have. You're not waiting for any verdict. You posts DO NOT reflect that at all.

'SaaS today is characterized by speed and quality' says Assaf Eisenstein, Co-Founder at Lusha
Media 7 | April 8, 2022
Assaf Eisenstein, Co-Founder & President at Lusha elaborates on their simple yet powerful self-service products curated for B2B salespeople. Read on to know more about his thoughts on the impact of automation on the B2B landscape and the challenges he sees on the horizon for the industry.
Despite the explosion in new technologies, many salespeople are still relying on outdated, untargeted methods of reaching potential clients.
MEDIA 7: Could you give our readers a sense of the demographic of Lusha and tell us a little about your culture?
ASSAF EISENSTEIN: Lusha was founded by Assaf Eisenstein and Yoni Tserruya in 2016 with the aim of creating the world's largest crowdsourced data community for B2B salespeople or a "Waze for salespeople."
Before Lusha, Yoni worked as an iOS Developer and created mobile applications focusing on the user experience, while Assaf created technology solutions for HR specialists. In 2016, Yoni and Assaf met and recognized that the process for salespeople to find accurate B2B data was laborious and time-intensive. Salespeople spend approximately 65% of their time on non-sales activities, rather than on the phone pitching prospects. Salespeople often have to search multiple online sources just to get the information they need. Lusha was created as a salesperson's personal helper, allowing salespeople to easily identify their target audience, find their future customers, and create a personal connection.
M7: Since its inception, Lusha has been helping B2B salespeople through its simple yet powerful self-service products. Could you please give us an insight into some of these products and services?
AE: Until recently, B2B sales and marketers were using a "spray and pray" approach, reaching a high volume of potential customers with low relevance. As a result, salespeople spend around 65% of their time on non-sales and administrative activities, rather than engaging potential customers. This costs time and money that could be otherwise spent on growing businesses. Lusha's cloud-based platform provides sales professionals and teams easy access to enterprise-grade solutions, to identify their ideal target buyer, and gain data-driven insights on who they approach as a potential customer, when, and why. The community members enable Lusha to provide the most accurate data through constant validation and enrichment of its database. Lusha's community enables salespeople to validate contact information (that you'd normally find on a business card), and company insights, which validates Lusha's data and ensures high accuracy. The company's community approach and affordability also ensure that salespeople from organizations of all sizes have access to the data they need to optimize their sales outreach. Since February, the Lusha community has expanded from over 520,000 sales professionals and 167,000 sales organizations to 800,000 and 273,000 respectively with little signs of slowing. We have also been hard at work developing and improving our product offerings and usability, while maintaining affordability, to provide organizations of all sizes access to the top-quality data and company insights they need in order to optimize their sales outreach. We continue to prioritize data quality and accuracy, ensuring our data remains consistently of the highest quality as well as fully compliant with world-class privacy standards and requirements.

A major issue with the current privacy regulations is that they paint all data with the same brush and don't discriminate protection based on risk factors or exploitability.
M7: What are the top challenges you see for the industry in general and Lusha this year?
AE: The most overarching challenge I see for the industry is the broken state of affairs for B2B sales. Despite the explosion in new technologies, many salespeople are still relying on outdated, untargeted methods of reaching potential clients. These tactics are a lose-lose as they waste everyone's time and can even damage a brand's reputation. Many services claim to give salespeople the data they need, but they can often be partial and cumbersome solutions.
Another challenge for companies like Lusha seeking to leverage data and change the ecosystem is privacy. There is an understandable concern for data protection and strict regulations (like the GDPR and CCPA) have passed as a result. Lusha is proud to be a leader in this field, having recently received the highly valued ISO 27701 certification for processing personal identifiable information. Furthermore, Lusha is one of the only SaaS companies whose entire legal, compliance, and privacy teams are IAPP (International Association of Privacy Professionals) certified. We understand the value of data to make buyers and sellers happier while taking all the steps necessary to ensure privacy.
M7: How do you see automation and artificial intelligence impacting the B2B landscape in the near future?
AE: With the rise of the digital era, the business has become increasingly data-reliant and -driven. Having grown to recognize that a timely and accurate understanding of data can drive unprecedented productivity and results at every level of their operations, businesses have placed data at the heart of their operations. And, with consumers having grown accustomed to highly personalized customer experiences – with many even willing to provide their personal data, such as age, gender, contact information, and more, to receive it – consumer data is more easily attainable than ever before.
As a result, issues around data privacy have also come into the spotlight, becoming a growing concern, of regulators and lawmakers are clamping down on – evidenced by the introduction of GDPR and CCPA standards. While this drive to protect the privacy of consumers is well-intentioned, the implications to businesses have been significant, as limiting their access to data means limiting the services they can provide and the level of efficiency and accuracy with which they can function. A major issue with the current privacy regulations is that they paint all data with the same brush and don't discriminate protection based on risk factors or exploitability. This means much of the 'shallow', publicly available data businesses use to thrive, such as job title, work email, etc, is often subjected to the same privacy standards as sensitive personal medical or financial information. In order to for these regulations to be effective without hindering business, regulators need to aim to balance consumers' rights to data privacy with business needs. By reassessing the handling of data to differentiate what is and is not publicly available, sensitive, or potentially exploitable, we can move away from 'blanket protection' to redefine privacy standards that are beneficial to consumers and businesses alike.

The exceptional quality of products released into the market at record speed is brought on by a hyper-adoption of new technologies.
M7: What do you see as the most noticeable change right now happening in the workforce, encouraged by the rise of digital technologies?
AE: The most noticeable change, I would say, is the pace. The pace at which development, production, and delivery is happening. SaaS today is characterized by speed and quality. The exceptional quality of products released into the market at record speed is brought on by a hyper-adoption of new technologies.
M7: According to you, how should start-ups approach their branding that establishes credibility, expertise, and experience?
AE: The most important things B2B brands can do to establish themselves is to know their customer and to match their strengths to the buyers they can best serve. Lusha for example always tries to establish a direct relationship with its customers, to understand how to best suit our services to their needs. We understand what we are good at, and we understand what B2B businesses want, and the best way up is to connect the two in the most streamlined way possible. Another key concept here is improvisation. The world has been changing at a dizzyingly rapid pace over the last few years, and this means unexpected shocks are becoming increasingly the norm. Those brands that can roll with the punches, adapt, and continue to meet changing consumer expectations – are the brands that will thrive.

Q&A with Latane Conant, CMO at 6sense
MEDIA 7 | July 17, 2019
Latane Conant, CMO at 6sense has always been keenly focused on leveraging data to ensure marketing programs result in deals, not just leads. At 6sense, Latane helps sales and marketing leaders increase revenue by tapping into the power of predictive intelligence to uncover buyers who are ready to buy. MEDIA 7: As a child, what did you want to be when you grew up? LATANE CONANT: The first thing I ever wanted to be was a lifeguard and swim coach. When I was 5 years old, I joined the swim team as one of the youngest swimmers. At 13, I was too young to be a lifeguard so I begged them to create a "JR lifeguard" position. This was essentially deck swabbing and towel service but I didn't care. So they hired me and called me "young jedi". The head lifeguard loved to play jokes on me. One time he gave me a ruler and said every deck chair needed to be 10 ¾ inches apart. There were 50+ deck chairs, but I went out and started measuring. Finally, after a few chairs, they called me over the loudspeaker to come back to the office and we all had a big laugh. Another time they took me down to the filter room, which was underground and pretty spooky. BUT as a young jedi, I had to learn how the system worked. We descended under the deck and I climbed a rickety old ladder to look down into the pump. Another lifeguard in scuba gear was waiting underwater and jumped out of the filter tank and scared the bejesus out of me! Once I calmed down I thought it was pretty hysterical! My role could have been seen as pretty mundane - bathroom cleaning and towel folding - BUT I loved the people I worked with so much. I worshipped the lifeguards and swim coaches! They kept me on my toes and in stitches all summer, so it's still one of the best jobs I've ever had. I finally graduated to teaching swim lessons, with a focus on kids who did not swim at all and were afraid to go in the pool. Nothing was more rewarding than seeing someone do something they thought they could not, or actually loving something that used to scare them - like put their head underwater, dive off the blocks, or swim the butterfly stroke for a lap. M7: Latane, you have always thrived on working with wicked smart people. How do you get the best out of them when there is a common notion that it's difficult to make smart people work together? LC: Talented people want to be able to do great work. Not the average, crank some blogs out or run an event, but truly cool and differentiated things. My job is to be a force field and ensure the team has the opportunity to try different things and do their best work. This means providing focus. A powerful focus tool we use is the V2MOM. V2MOM stands for Vision, Values, Methods, Obstacles, and Metrics. Vision is what you want to achieve. Ideally your vision makes everyone uncomfortably excited. Values are why it matters, what you believe, guiding principles for decision making. Methods are where the rubber meets the road and are the top things you will do to achieve the vision. Under each method, it's key to detail out obstacles (so you can plan around them) and metrics so you know if the method is on track. What's nice about the system is that it provides built-in planning and is time bound. So every quarter I get my team together and we revise our V2MOM. This builds consensus around the vision and how we are going to get there. Every method gets assigned an owner, which drives accountability. And we publically track the metrics weekly so everyone knows our progress. The interesting thing about the V2MOM is not what's on the V2mom but what is NOT on the V2MOM. Because the process requires hyper prioritization of what you are going to do in a given time period, it forces focus. I'm pretty obsessed and love the V2MOM. I am happy to share more on how teams can adopt, implement, and use it. In fact, maybe in my next life, I will be a V2mom consultant!

Origin of the concentrated deformation zone in the Japanese Islands and stress accumulation process of intraplate earthquakes - Download this document for free, or read online. Document in PDF available to download.
The nature and origin of the concentrated deformation zone along the Japan Sea coast NKTZ: Niigata-Kobe Tectonic Zone were clarified by analyzing various observations. We made a qualitative modeling for the stress state and deformation style in and around the NKTZ. In this model a weak zone with low viscosity exists in the lower crust beneath the NKTZ. In the surrounding region, however, the viscosity in the lower crust is very high and can be regarded as elastic for the periods of a recurrence interval of intraplate earthquakes. The concentrated deformation is basically attributed to the low viscosity in the weak zone. In more details, the concentrated deformation is thought to be generated by a postseismic deformation of the weak zone to the previous large intraplate earthquake in the interseismic period the brittle-ductile interaction model and-or anelastic deformation in both the upper and lower crusts in the NKTZ, under a finite constant force the anelastic deformation model.


Properly maintaining your brakes is one of the most important aspects of taking care of your vehicle. Without proper brakes, you will be unable to slow down and stop. This could increase the chance of a dangerous situation occurring. By noticing the behavior and handling of your vehicle, you can catch brake problems before they become too costly and more importantly, too dangerous. It is also recommended to bring your vehicle in and we can inspect it for you. This can help improve the safety and reliability when you drive. If you notice anything between regular inspections, make sure to contact us. This way we can help identify a problem before it becomes much worse.
While driving your vehicle it is recommended that you occasionally turn off the radio and listen to your vehicle. A different sound the vehicle gives off is typically the easiest way to detect a problem within the components. If a grinding sound is coming from any corner of your vehicle while you are braking or if there is a rough feel coming from the brake pedal, then it is likely that your brakes need to be looked at. Shimming or shaking is also a sign for a problem. It is important to take care of this problem early on because putting off such repair will lead to additional problems such as broken or damaged rotors, brake pads, or loss of pressure in your brake fluid lines.
Your brake pads are a part of your braking system that provides friction to give us the stopping power we need. Brake pads are designed to wear out and will then need to be replaced. The brake rotors on the other hand are more costly if they go out. Your brake pads are located between the caliper and the rotor. Your braking system uses friction, which changes kinetic energy from the moving vehicle into heat energy. Brake pads have to have a high enough coefficient of friction to convert the energy of the moving vehicle into heat.
A brake rotor is a flat piece of steel that is attached to a rod. It is held in place on the inside of your wheel. On each side of the rotor is where your brake pads are located. When you apply the brake pedal, the pads compress around the rotor causing it to slow down or stop the vehicle. Rotors are very thick because they need to dissipate the heat that is caused by the friction of the brake pads. If the brake pads start to become worn thin, metal-on-metal contact will start. This can start your steering wheel shimming while you brake. Vehicles that sit a long period of time are likely to develop rust around the body of the car as well as around the rotor. Overlooking problems within your braking system cannot only be dangerous but expensive. If you notice an issues, make sure to bring your vehicle in as soon as possible so we can inspect it for you.

Truck driver's sentence reduced from 110 years to 10 by Colorado governor in fatal crash
Gov. Jared Polis commuted Rogel Aguilera-Mederos' sentence by 100 years, calling the 2019 accident a "tragic but unintentional act."
Colorado truck driver sentence reduced to 10 years by governor
Dec. 30, 2021, 11:25 PM UTC / Updated Dec. 31, 2021, 1:28 AM UTC
By Doha Madani
Colorado Gov. Jared Polis on Thursday commuted the prison term of a truck driver who was sentenced to 110 years after a fatal accident in 2019, reducing the sentence to 10 years.
The man, Rogel Aguilera-Mederos, 26, killed four people on April 25, 2019, after, he said, his brakes failed on the downhill grade on Interstate 70 eastbound outside Denver. Prosecutors argued that Aguilera-Mederos acted recklessly and made a series of poor decisions before the wreck.
Polis reduced Aguilera-Mederos' sentence by 100 years, saying in a letter Thursday that the life sentence was inappropriate for a "tragic but unintentional act."
"While you are not blameless, your sentence is disproportionate compared with many other inmates in our criminal justice system who committed intentional, premeditated, or violent crimes," Polis said in a letter addressed to Aguilera-Mederos.
Polis disclosed that a relative of Aguilera-Mederos' attorney works in the governor's office, but he said the relative was not involved in the decision-making process.

Polis said the case "highlights the lack of uniformity between sentences."
"This was a tragic event that affected many Coloradans," Polis wrote. "Though your actions have caused immense pain, I am encouraged by your personal reflection and the commercial vehicle safety changes that were made in the wake of this tragedy to ensure this type of event never happens again."
Aguilera-Mederos was driving a truck with a trailer carrying lumber, traveling an estimated 85 mph in an area where the speed limit for commercial vehicles is 45 mph, officials have said. A chain-reaction crash and a fire ensued involving 28 vehicles.
Doyle Harrison, 61; William Bailey, 67; Stanley Politano, 69; and Miguel Lamas Arrellano, 24, died in the accident.
A resentencing date had already been scheduled for Jan. 13 as prosecutors sought to reduce Aguilera-Mederos' prison time.
First Judicial District Attorney Alexis King told reporters Monday that the case was "exceptional" and that it required "an exceptional process." Her office was seeking to resentence him to 20 to 30 years, instead.
"We have and will take the necessary steps for the court — who is the most informed about what happened in this case — to strike the appropriate balance when considering a new sentence," King said.
At the initial sentencing, Judge A. Bruce Jones said the law required him to sentence Aguilera-Mederos to consecutive sentences, meaning they are served back to back.
"If I had the discretion, if I thought I had the discretion, I would not run those sentences consecutively," Jones said.
Public backlash to the century-plus sentence resulted in a petition for commutation that got more than 5 million signatures.

Q: modifying global javascript variables and accessing them in the HTML I'm very new to fiddling with javascript - but here is what I'm trying to accomplish.
I have code like such:
    $('#numberItems').keyup(function () {
      var num = parseInt($(this).val());
      var price = parseInt($('#price').text());
      var.cost = num * price
      $('#total').text(cost);
    }).keyup();

This really works fine for what I'm doing - but what I'd like to do is take the cost variable and stick it in a link - such as:
Googly

I realize, to make the variable global, I need to stick outside of the function, but then how do my calculations save to it?

A: At the top level of your script file, outside of any document.ready() handler, add this:
var cost;

Then, you can reference it anywhere by just not declaring it with var like this:
$('#numberItems').keyup(function () {
  var num = parseInt($(this).val());
  var price = parseInt($('#price').text());
  cost = num * price
  $('#total').text(cost);
}).keyup();

You can't use that variable with document.write() because document.write() can only be used while the document is being parsed and your cost variable isn't initialized before the document is loaded.  Using document.write() after the document has been loaded  causes the current document to get wiped out and a new document started.
You can use the cost variable to set an href dynamically (after the document has been loaded) like this:
Googly

$("#myLink").attr("href", "http://www.google.com/" + cost);

Notice that you just use string math to add cost into an existing string.
Or, you could use jQuery to create a link from scratch, set it's href and insert it into your page.

A: You do not actually need to make the variable global, unless you are accessing it elsewhere. If you want the URL change to occur when a user changes the element with id numberItems, You are actually going to need to add an ID attribute to that A element, then use javascript to update the HREF attribute.
Googly

And the javascript (after your $('#total').text(cost); line):
var aElementToChange = document.getElementById("aElementToChange");
aElementToChange.setAttribute("href", "http://www.google.com/" + cost);

You can change the javascript to jquery as you need.

A: Stay away from global variables !! xD
They are the easiest solution to all problems but they will cause you a lot of hard time
later if you upgrade your code!
As being said, add an id attribute to the  tag
Then simply add $("#id_you_added").attr("href","Googly"); in the code above so that it gets modified dynamically
I hope this helps

First, HAPPY BIRTHDAY to the two other people that came into the world with me! You both have filled my life with more joy and fun than I deserve.
As we celebrate the big one (the number we shall not mention). I reflect back to our childhood. Three little black girls, born in a small house with a red door, to a police officer and a bus driver. Mom made sure we had what we needed but most of all we had each other.
I have not always enjoyed being a triplet because sharing everything I've ever had was not always fun, but it taught me sacrifice, and I learned to live with less, filling my moments instead with laughs, hugs, and tugs.
Even though I was born one minute before you, Erica and three minutes before you Lina, you both treat me like the "big sister" of our crew, sharing with me your joy, heartbreak, and hang-ups. For me, it is time well spent because seeing you both happy is one of my life's goals.
You both are resilient and determined. I remember the day you two left to follow your dreams in California, departing with little money and one plan, to make it in Hollywood. As I watched you both drive away, I knew I was looking at a piece of me live courageously.
You two inspire me. Being your "big" sister is one of the greatest blessings of my life.

ON SUNDAY ITS FINALLY TIME AGAIN!
Excuse the large letters but I really look forward to seeing you all again and I'm looking forward to an exciting new semester with Umeå Vineyard. We will begin on Sunday with a kickoff at 3 pm.
David has promised to make all the soup and garlic bread so dinner is fixed, then there will be some talk and praying about the Church's future, focus and vision. A sort of vision-, or forum-day, one might say, where everyone gets to speak.
It will be a good, fun, interesting, and important day for both you and for the Church. Come and say what you think and come and listen to what others think. Together we also listen to the Holy Spirit and maps out the way forward! Are you new in the Church or if you are thinking of being involved or if you know someone who is doing this, it is also a very good opportunity to get to know the Chuch better.
The theme of the spring will be about coming into function, both as individual Christians and as a church. Being on this kick-off might be an important part of it. An exciting start to an exciting spring.
See you on Sunday! at 3 pm! Oaten!
