When Austria hammered Ireland in 1971 it put paid to League of Ireland argument
"I thought that was a friendly," Paddy Mulligan mutters, when recalling the events of Sunday, October 10, 1971.

The memory is understandably a little hazy — Mulligan did win 50 Ireland caps — but every other detail of events in Linz are crystal clear. Maybe his mind just wanted to water down the impact of one of the darkest days in Irish international football history.
Austria smashed six goals without reply past Ireland. Liam Tuohy's first game as manager stands as Ireland's worst European Championship result, with Mulligan the only non-League of Ireland player lining out for the boys in green.
"That was really one of those horrible, horrible days that we had," Mulligan says.
Things were very bad for the Irish international team at the time. The 1972 European campaign saw just one point claimed from home and away games against Italy, Austria, and Sweden, the Swedes drawing in Dalymount Park.
In the previous campaign, the effort to qualify for Mexico 1970 saw Ireland collect a solitary point at home to Denmark while losing 2-0 in Copenhagen as well as home and away to Hungary and Czechoslovakia.
"We were on a terrible run and of course it didn't help that in prior years there was a committee picking the team," Mulligan explained.
"We weren't quite sure what formation or what system we would be playing. The committee lads didn't know and the FAI lads, they didn't have a breeze as to what was going on."
After a prolonged outcry, the FAI appointed Tuohy as manager. Tuohy had managed Shamrock Rovers to five FAI Cup victories in a row and managed to combine the Irish job with his day job as a HB Ice cream sales rep while also now managing Dundalk.
Immediately he ran into problems. English club managers refused to release their players for international duty as a full programme of English First Division games was scheduled for the day before the Irish international.
"It was crazy to organise a game on a Sunday with a full English league programme on the Saturday, what chance had anybody got?" says Mulligan, then a Chelsea player.
"I was released because I had gone over on my ankle three weeks previously and I was trying to get some match fitness back. I pleaded with Dave Sexton, the manager of Chelsea, to let me go on the trip and get a game. He had wanted me to play in the reserves.
Mulligan played in the Irish team hammered 6-0 in 1971 by Austria (Kurt Jura opens the scoring, right) in a baptism of fire for then new manager Tuohy. Tuohy died last August.
"I said it would have been better if I went and played in the international. I can tell you, I wasn't too impressed with my own decision with the hammering that we got."
Five League of Ireland games took place that Sunday, all outside Dublin, with Bohemians v Shelbourne and Shamrock Rovers v Athlone Town postponed due to international call-ups.
Of the starting 11, five players — Paddy Roche, Mick Gannon, Tommy McConville, John Herrick and Mick Martin — earned first caps.
Second-half substitute Damien Richardson also made his senior international debut.
The Irish camp tried to stay positive, with Tuohy insisting to the media that there were five places up for grabs on the Irish side, even when all the cross-channel players were available.
But Austria had far too much for the Irish with three goals either side of half-time, including a Thomas Parits hat-trick. It was Ireland's third ever 6-0 defeat.
"We knew it was going to be a difficult game but we never expected to get hammered 6-0," Mulligan says. "We were quite prepared to give it all that we've got. Unfortunately, the all that we'd got just wasn't good enough on the day. These things happen and you pick yourself up and you learn from it and Liam certainly learnt from it and most of the players did."
'Baptism of fire for young side: Ireland run ragged by slick Austrians' read the headline on Bill George's Cork Examiner report. Though George praised Ireland's "willing hearts, boundless courage and determination", also noting that there were "players who defied the odds, who rose above the standard and environment of League of Ireland football to wear the national shirt with distinction".
"The media were far less demanding," says Mulligan. "They tried to be as objective as they could. I'm not trying to say the lads aren't less objective now. We knew the journalists like Noel Dunne, WP Murphy, Peter Byrne, we knew all these lads.
"We were disappointed, remember we were the ones out on the pitch trying to perform and we weren't performing. From our perspective, it was an absolute walking disaster. You have to be disappointed. If you're not disappointed there is something very wrong with you."
At the time, there had been a simmering argument that the Irish team should include more League of Ireland-based players. The argument was lost that evening.
"It gave rise to that argument alright. 'Look what's after happening. You're after getting hammered six-nothing with a full League of Ireland team.'
"The way things happened in that game, the same result could have happened with a full English-based 11."
In the 45 years that have passed, just 20 players have won a senior international cap while playing with a League of Ireland club, the last being former Cork City midfielder Joe Gamble in 2007.
In very different circumstances to 1971, Daryl Horgan and Andy Boyle are in contention for a cap in Saturday's game with Austria. But the argument that their Dundalk side is the best League of Ireland team of all time holds no sway with Mulligan.
"No, I wouldn't subscribe to that. They're a smashing team. The era I played in, Waterford won around four or five leagues in a row. We couldn't win the league and we won the cup six years in succession."
The former Shamrock Rovers man believes Horgan should be in Martin O'Neill's side ahead of Aiden McGeady, but insists the winger is not yet one of the league's greats.
"Who ever saw Frank O'Neill playing wide on the right for Rovers in the 60s or Liam Tuohy or Paul O'Donovan wide on the right, the jury would be out, in my mind."
IRELAND (v Austria, 1971): Paddy Roche (Shelbourne), Mick Gannon (Shelbourne), Al Finucane (Limerick, capt), Tommy McConville (Dundalk), John Herrick (Cork Hibs), Frank O'Neill (Shamrock Rovers), Paddy Mulligan (Chelsea), Mick Kearin (Shamrock Rovers), Mick Martin (Bohemians), Mick Leech (Shamrock Rovers), Turlough O'Connor (Dundalk)
Subs Damien Richardson (Shamrock Rovers) for Kearin 52; Alfie Hale (Waterford) for Martin 69.

Slim Tea Review (UPDATED 2018) — Is It Safe?
Slim Tea Review (UPDATED 2019) — Is It Safe?
6. Is Slim Tea Worth Trying?
Liquid supplements for dieting are plentiful, but if you're not careful, they can get you. How?
By promoting products that don't work, that don't contain fat-burning ingredients, and that aren't proven to help you lose weight. One such product is now being touted as the best way to lose weight naturally, but is it? Read our review below to learn more.
For a new list of the Top 10 best diet shakes, click here.
Slim Tea is a weight loss product that's supposed to be a healthy, natural way to shed excess weight. It comes in the form of tea packets that come in several flavors, including pomegranate, goji, and blueberry. Each package contains 25 packets of tea, and at a price of $9.99 per bag, that means you pay about $0.39 per cup of tea – not bad, but you can get other green tea products for less money (and for more packets per box). Is there anything special about this tea that makes it worth the extra price? Read on for more.
Slim Tea is made by Hyleys, a tea company based in Sri Lanka. They sell many kinds of tea, and are the "4th largest exporter of tea bags from Sri Lanka." We couldn't find any profile for them on the Better Business Bureau, so we don't know what their customer service history is like. That said, there aren't any controversies or lawsuits currently pending, so they seem like a reasonably trustworthy company.
Check out these acclaimed nutritional shakes on our new Top 10 list.
Slim Tea is supposed to increase the body's metabolism, something that's intended to both increase the amount of calories your body burns as well as the rate at which your body burns fat. Other than that, it claims to give your body "cleansing" and improve your digestion. Unusually, it also promises to work as a laxative, something which we're not sure most people on a diet are going to want in a weight loss supplement (especially if they're on the go or at work!).
Green tea is a natural leaf that's dried and boiled with water to produce a tea that's enjoyed all over the world. It contains antioxidants which help clean your body of free radicals. Slim Tea claims here that green tea increases your metabolism, and thus your ability to lose weight.
Senna herb is a natural herb that contains sennosides, chemicals that irritate the bowel and cause evacuation of the bowels – which is why they're used as a laxative.
These are the best nutritional shakes that you can get anywhere, arranged in a Top Ten list.
Slim Tea claims that green tea will help your body naturally shed fat faster, while the senna will clean you out and improve digestion.
Green tea does have some health benefits, and it contains caffeine, which gives you more energy. That part isn't disputed. There is little proof that green tea makes your metabolism go up, however, as the Cochrane Review found that reports of weight loss from regular users of green tea are not statistically significant.
Senna herb does act like a laxative, but the question is why include it? It doesn't help you lose body fat.
The company says you should drink this in the evening or before bed – but why? Caffeine will affect your ability to sleep, and you might end up having to get up in the night to use the restroom thanks to the senna.
Check out the new list of the best nutritional shakes for helping you get into shape.
Slim Tea has its fans, as we noted when we saw reviews posted on third-party websites like Amazon. Some users love that it "rids them of constipation" and "helped me lose 3 pounds in two days" (although we should note that people regularly fluctuate by +/- 3 lbs on a weekly basis, so this isn't that impressive). Most "positive" users emphasized the laxative effects.
Want quality meal replacement shakes? These ten could give you the help you're looking for.
Is Slim Tea Worth Trying?
We don't see a reason to use this product. Based not only on the ingredients included but also user reviews, it seems like this tea is good for little else than forcing you to use the restroom, sometimes multiple times a day. Any weight that people say they lost was likely down to natural fluctuations in their body weight and likely didn't represent a change in body fat.
In the end, it seems like this product is just an expensive laxative tea. That's fine, if that's what you're looking for, but if you're looking for a quality weight-loss drink, Slim Tea just isn't the solution.
If you want our advice, we suggest checking out this new list of the Top 10 best diet shakes.
These products are similar. Both claim to be teas that make you physically slimmer by increasing metabolism and reducing "bloat." Slim Tea comes in one form, a tea meant to be drunk at night, while Flat Tummy Tea comes in two different formulas for day and evening. Slim Tea contains green tea and senna, while Flat Tummy Tea contains senna, peppermint, licorice, and other herbs. Flat Tummy Tea is more expensive at $36 for 20 packets, compared to $9.99 for 25 Slim Tea packets.
These products are basically identical. Slim Tea itself contains green tea as a part of its formula, and the only major difference is that Slim Tea contains the addition of the natural laxative herb senna leaf. Green tea can be found almost anywhere, while Slim Tea is sold only from certain retailers. Green tea itself can sell for as little as $0.09 per packet, while Slim Tea costs about $0.39 per packet – which seems small at first, until they start to add up over the weeks.
These products both claim to do similar things. They both claim to increase your energy and metabolism, leading to quicker weight loss and calorie burning. Slim Tea contains only green tea and senna herb (a laxative), while Fit Tea (original formula) contains green tea, oolong, and garcinia cambogia extract. Slim Tea is much cheaper at $9.99 for 25 packets, while Fit Tea is $25.00 for only 14 packets. That means if you wanted to use Fit Tea for a month, you'd have to spend $50 – a high price for tea.
Do they sell Hyleys Slim Tea at Walmart?
Not anymore, it looks like, though they have other brands of "slimming" teas.
Do you know where to find Hyleys Slim Tea reviews?
Where can I find reviews of Hyleys Pomegranate Slim Tea?
Again, Amazon is going to be your best bet.
Does Hyleys Slim Tea come in Blueberry flavor?
What are the side effects of Hyleys Slim Tea?
It can cause stomach cramps and excessive need to use the restroom.
Is Hyleys Slim Tea a detox?
They claim to be, yes. However, your body is equipped to detox itself, and you don't need products to help you with it.
Slim Tea – does it work?
It may work to help you evacuate your bowels, but it's not clear if it can help you lose weight.
Do you know how to make Hyleys Slim Tea?
The same way you brew any cup of tea: boil water, let a packet steep for 3-5 min, then drink.
Click this link to read our list of the Top Ten diet shakes in order of quality.
Out of all the different products out there that claim to help you lose weight,the best one we've ever reviewed is called 18Shake. It's a meal replacement shake that's got quality, natural ingredients, and it has no artificial flavors or ingredients like other nutritional shakes.

With a low sugar content and a scientifically-minded approach to boosting your body's ability to lose weight, you've got little to lose.

Advertisers Drawn To Super Bowl
http://live.altavista.com/scripts/editorial.dll?eeid=1434678&eetype=article&render=y&avr=1
By SKIP WOLLENBERG AP Business Writer
NEW YORK (AP) — The Tennessee Titans and the St. Louis Rams won't be the only fresh names trying to score some points in this Sunday's Super Bowl.
About a dozen Internet companies are forking over the highest prices ever paid for TV commercials so they can join regulars like Anheuser-Busch, Pepsi-Cola and FedEx on the NFL championship game broadcast.
There were only two dot-coms in last year's game — three if you count lingerie marketer Victoria's Secret which advertised its fashion show Webcast. "Some companies are out there on hope and a prayer, but it's part of the new economy," said Jeffrey Taylor, chief executive of online job site Monster.com, one of the Internet advertisers in the 1999 game.
Monster and a rival employment site, Hotjobs.com, each said that visits to their sites soared after last year's Super Bowl exposure, and both are back. Their experience fired the hopes of several of this year's young Internet entrants.
Among them are information provider Britannica.com; the job site Kforce.com; and women's Web site Oxygen.com.
ABC officials say the Internet companies helped push the commercial price to an average of $2.2 million — an astounding $73,333 per second — for 61 half-minute commercials in the game. The top price for an ad was said to be over $3 million.
The average is a whopping 38 percent more than the previous record $1.6 million that the Fox network claimed for ads in last year's Super Bowl. The price went up even though the average audience rating tumbled 9 percent last year to the lowest level since 1990.
The attraction is that the Super Bowl delivers the year's highest TV ratings and audiences in the 120 million to 130 million range.
Anheuser-Busch, brewer of Budweiser, is the single biggest Super Bowl advertiser with five minutes of commercial time in the game.
Its ads include one designed to tug on your heart strings by showing the birth of a new Clydesdale horse and another with former hockey star Wayne Gretzky driving a tipsy friend home from a bar — on a Zamboni machine.
Pepsi-Cola will pitch its hot-selling Mountain Dew. One ad shows a bike rider chasing a cheetah across African plains, capturing and reaching inside the cat to retrieve a stolen can of Dew.
FedEx inserts a delivery truck into clips from the classic "Wizard of Oz" movie to show it reaches "places other shipping companies can only imagine."
Pets.com's ad features its sock puppet singing "Don't Go" in a plea to owners to spend more time with their pets by using the Web retailer for pet supplies. Hotjobs.com shows its new computer hand icon driving a hard bargain in a job interview while Tropicana pitches orange juice as "the best 9.3 seconds you can possibly spend on yourself."
The World Wrestling Federation and Seven-Up each had ads rejected by the ABC standards office, but came up with alternatives. The WWF, which won't specify what ABC found objectionable, says its new ad shows "the unabashed excitement of WWF fans in unexpected places." Seven-Up's original ad got thrown out because it contained an off-color phrase. Its new one may not be much better. It shows a fictional marketing executive exhorting consumers to "show us your cans."
The dot-coms include the well-established like E-Trade with $700 million in revenue last year. Others are startups that are using investors' money for their ads because they haven't yet generated enough revenue to pay the bill. They include the wedding stationery supplier OurBeginning.com., technology adviser Computer.com and financial portal OnMoney.
August Busch IV, head of marketing for Anheuser-Busch, says anticipation of these expensive bids for recognition could ultimately benefit established brands like his Budweiser.
"It heightens consumers' interest in the 'other game' being played along with the Big Game," he said.
Some media buyers say the two small-market teams in this year's game could lead to lower ratings since neither has a national following.
But others say the Super Bowl will attract a big audience no matter who is in it — and that a close game is the key to retaining viewers.
"Virtually the whole country comes to a standstill when the Super Bowl comes on," said veteran commercial buyer Bill Croasdale of Western Initiative Media.
The Super Bowl is also an advertising showcase and viewers know it. Eight percent of those watching Sunday's game will be tuning in just to see the ads, researcher Eisner Communications found.

I had originally started this post as an 'boy it is a small trails world' post, about how closely connected most people are around the country to AMC. As staff have left the caretaker program, they have found themselves in the West, Midwest, South, Alaska, Antarctica, and even Germany (Guten Tag Tobias Carter!). As they move throughout the country, and across the globe, they build out the network. And so the small world continues to grow.
This photo is of two caretaker alums Sarah Hayes (Nauman 2009) and Kate Orlofsky (Guyot fall 2013 and Speck! Pond 2014). Both of them spent the winter together working in Denali National Park working with the Park Service kennels, driving dog teams on patrols through the Park.
Sarah, after leaving AMC, has worked off and on for the Park since 2010, but has since landed a full time position with the Park and calls Alaska home. Kate is not new to the lifestyle of dogsledding, having spent two winters working for the Mahoosuc Guide Service in Newry, ME, with Yukon Huskies that are very similar to the Denali dogs. Kate feels an ultimate pull towards scientific field research, so I expect her to be falling into a PhD program at some point.
I knew both of these incredible women during there time here at AMC. I thrashed around in the brush with Sarah doing boundary work along the Appalachian Trail. I sat at the edge of Speck! Pond with Kate, talking about adventures to be had and how to make decisions about life. I shared so much laughter with each of them, and have stayed in touch with both of them as their adventures took them far and wide. (I also was invited to Sarah's wedding, and am still disappointed I wasn't able to make it work!). How I wish that I could have spent one week in their company in Denali this past winter.
Both Kate and Sarah exemplified, during their time here, all that a caretaker can be. They were positive and sought to make positive change in the world. They both did incredible work and served above and beyond in their posts as stewards. It is powerful to know that they are continuing to make the world a better place, just as they did here in the White Mountains.
In addition to writing about how caretakers rule, it is also worthy to note their gender. When Sarah was a caretaker, she was one of two women of 12 caretakers. When Kate was a caretaker in 2014, she was one of four in a team of 12.
This year, 2016, I am thrilled to announce that seven caretakers out of 12 will be women. Yes. That's over 50%.
Women in the trails field have for a long time been rare. A photo of the AMC trail crew from the 1970s hangs in our Trails offices, and there are no women. During the 10 years I've been involved with the caretaker program, the percentage of women has been usually around 30%, and that percentage also reflects the percentage of women who applied. When I was hired into my position in the Trails department, I was the only full time woman in Trails at the time.
Gender is only one of the many lenses that one can apply to the world, one of the many ways to measure equity. In recognizing gender, I am not disregarding the various other forms of inquity. I am acknowledging it because when there are more women in the caretaker office, it feels different.
Caretakers rule. And I'm so thrilled that, for the first time, there are just as many women as men.

PATIENTS with irreversible lung damage don't usually survive, even when on oxygen —Dr. Akinpeloye
According to the NCDC, COVID-19 has killed 1,905 people out of the total 155,417 confirmed cases in Nigeria since the country recorded her first case on February 27, 2020. An expert with the Infectious Diseases Unit at the Lagos University Teaching Hospital, Idi-Araba, Dr. Oluwafemi Akinpeloye, shares what it means to manage coronavirus patients from the time of admission until they passed away. ANGELA ONWUZOO reports
Dr. Oluwafemi Akinpeloye
One of the medical experts treating and managing COVID-19 patients is Dr. Oluwafemi Akinpeloye, who works at the Internal Medicine Department, Infectious Diseases Unit of LUTH.
Akinpeloye says though the virus has no cure yet, people who test positive for it and seek treatment early survive more than those who visit the hospital late when their condition might have deteriorated and requires oxygen.
Sharing his clinical experience with PUNCH HealthWise on the various stages leading to some patients' death, the infectious disease doctor says some of the victims, even before they eventually died, "knew they would not make it, especially those that presented late."
SEE ALSO: My sickest patient was morbidly obese, on ventilator for 10 days before he died —Dr. Ojebo
He narrates, "My experience in managing COVID-19 patients is one that I will never forget in a lifetime.
"Managing COVID-19 patients has been on my lap since April 1, 2020, when the first case presented itself at LUTH.
"From that moment, my life changed. We have been managing cases of Lassa fever, other communicable and infectious diseases, but COVID-19 is different. It is my unit — Infection Diseases Unit — that manages infectious diseases and COVID-19 happens to be an infectious disease. So, it is our responsibility to treat COVID-19 patients.
"Now, talking about what I saw in those that died, the fact is that most of them presented when their condition was already bad. People have been dying from COVID-19 and they usually die as a result of breathlessness.
SEE ALSO: For Coronavirus patients, there's no timeline for recovery -Caregiver
Breathlessness and low oxygen concentration, signs of danger
"When they come, you will see that physical sign of breathlessness. For some, when we check their specific oxygen concentration, we will find out that it is abnormal.
"Normal specific oxygen concentration should be between 95 and 99. But when you check their oxygen concentration, you find it to be 75. It is breathlessness that kills COVID-19 patients. Once they present with breathlessness and low oxygen concentration, then there is a problem."
Giving further insight, Akinpeloye said, "The disease itself is just a viral infection, like many viruses that affect the body. But this one attacks and destroys the lungs and makes it impossible for the person who is infected to be able to take up oxygen.
READ ALSO: ICUs are for sickest patients struggling with severe COVID-19 cases
"The nose itself requires oxygen, distributing oxygen to the rest of the body. So, the disease makes it impossible for the nose to get oxygen. Once the lung fails in getting oxygen, it cannot distribute what it does not have and the person dies.
Oxygen therapy, key in patient survival
"So, the mainstay of treating COVID-19 patients has been, and will always be, oxygen therapy.
"Oxygen therapy is the only way that we can really manage COVID-19 patients. If the patient suddenly develops breathlessness, there is no other means of managing that patient other than ensuring that the patient gets oxygen.
"The idea of admitting patients in the hospital from the beginning has been that most of the people that contracted the disease who end up having issues are those that naturally have underlying illnesses.
"They have hypertension, diabetes, asthma, ulcer, among others. So, COVID-19 comes and worsens their original problem.
"When we admit them, we now have to manage their original problem, which has now become worse and then still manage the COVID-19 itself by giving oxygen.
"I see a lot of patients who come in requiring oxygen to survive. I have seen a lot of them die from the infection."
He went on, "But If COVID-19 is picked up early; the chances of survival are high. Most of the patients that died had presented badly. As health workers, we already knew that their case was bad."
Akinpeloye said that patients that died were "those that came in bad."
"There were some patients whose relatives I quarreled with for allowing their health to deteriorate before bringing them to the hospital.
"Once their oxygen concentration drops below 90, it is a problem. They will not make it."
'Second-wave patients sicklier'
According to Akinpeloye, in this second wave, patients are sicklier. "They are very sick and require a lot of care. The virus is changing the way it attacks and there are even new variants.
"The patients were devastated because, in most cases, they came to the hospital when some damage had been done to their lungs. When the damage is irreversible, the person will not do very well and the person will die," he explained.
The Minister of State for Health, Dr. Olorunnimbe Mamora, had, in January, blamed private health facilities for the death of many COVID-19 patients.
Mamora, while speaking at one of the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19 briefings in Abuja, accused private facilities of referring patients to approved treatment centres late.
The minister had said, "The report that many of those who died reported late for treatment at the approved centres because they were referred late from private facilities, is alarming.
"We, therefore, once again seize this opportunity to urge healthcare practitioners to promptly send all suspected cases for testing and when positive, refer them to isolation centres for treatment.
"Attempting to treat suspected or confirmed cases not only exposes the health workers in such a facility to risk of infection, but also denies the patient early access to effective treatment in an approved treatment centre."
I didn't know it would come this far —Dying patient
Sharing some painful experiences of the final moments of some of the deceased, Akinpeloye said, "In their last conversations before they passed on, they usually said that they didn't know it would come this far.
"Many of them that had died knew they would not make it. But beyond the knowledge of their demise was the delirium they manifested at the point of death.
"They usually become very confused. When the oxygen concentration becomes low, they usually don't talk before they die," the specialist said.
He noted that, in fact, many of them would already have given up before they died, stating, "When you are unable to breath, it is not an experience anybody should have.
"I go into the wards, I see my patients sitting up, they can't sleep because if they lie down to sleep, they will pass on from their sleep. They sit up and continue to ensure that they are getting oxygen.
"Such people are breathing but the virus has destroyed their lungs. So, they are not getting the oxygen despite the fact that it was provided."
Fighting a virus psychologically
Concerning their mental state, the infectious disease doctor told our correspondent that most of the patients became hopeless the moment they were told they have the disease.
"But some people have a fighting nature. They begin to fight psychologically that they will make it the moment they are told they have the virus.
"When you have that mentality that this disease will not kill you and you have that natural mechanism, the brain will be controlled. Once the brain is continually saying 'I will fight this,' the tendency that the person will get out of it is always high because of the psychological component.
"Loneliness is not really an issue. In this period, they encourage each other and isolation is not an imprisonment. If they are feeling lonely, it is because they are missing their loved ones. But most people don't do well with isolation.
"Now, in some patients, the disease can produce psychosis. But some believe that it is not a death sentence, especially the educated ones," he said.
The physician also noted that those that died at home still had to do with issues around breathing.
Akinpeloye urged those who tested positive for the virus to go to hospital for treatment and avoid self-medication.
"If you have symptoms of malaria, go for COVID-19 test and avoid presenting late at the hospital," he counselled.

Venessa Churco-Dumanowsky has been an in-house designer at our Gainesville location for over a year! Vanessa enjoys being a designer here at Dalton Carpet One, because she likes to see our customer's dream homes come to life.
For Vanessa's featured design, she put together a beautiful grey toned design intended for a kitchen space. The grey palette in this design makes use of various shades of light, medium, and dark greys to create a sleek, industrial look that would create an excellent cooking space for any master chef. We love the way that the different shades of grey compliment one another and work together to tie each design element into the overall look. Grey color palettes have always been a timeless selection for any home space, as greys work well with a wide range of other colors. Grey tones are also a good choice of color to use in a kitchen space, as they often work well against kitchen appliances.
In addition to choosing a grey color palette, Vanessa also chose products with different textures and patterns to give this look some depth. The glass mosaic tile, which Vanessa selected to be used in a backsplash, does an excellent job of adding depth in the design, introducing a subtle pattern, and tying in the grey color palette. The dark grey granite countertop, which features flecks of blacks and blues, compliments the silver cabinet hardware and the ashy grey Fabu Wood Cabinet door perfectly. These design elements work not only look great in a kitchen space, but also in a bathroom or master suite space.

X-raid: With 12 vehicles to South America
November 22, 2013 By PC / PR
X-raid is going to contest the 2014 Dakar held in Argentina, Bolivia and Chile with the biggest driver line-up in its history. In addition to the four Monster Energy X-raid Team drivers – Stéphane Peterhansel, Nani Roma, Krzysztof Holowczyc and Orlando Terranova and the recently announced Nasser al Attiyah – who all will race a MINI ALL4 Racing, the service park will feature another six MINI ALL4 Racing and a BMW X3 CC.
The South American motor-racing enthusiasts may be particularly happy. Altogether, the continent will be represented by four drivers. Apart from Terranova, the two pairings Federico Villagra / Jorge Perez Companc (MINI ALL4 Racing) and Adrian Yacopini / Marco Scopinaro (BMW X3 CC) are also Argentinean. Villagra mainly has got World Rally Championship experience under his belt, to date, but in October, in the Morocco Rally, he succeeded in attracting a lot of attention. There, he demonstrated that he is quick and safe also in the dunes. While Yacopini already demonstrated that he has got what it takes to drive the BMW X3 CC consistently and without taking unnecessary risks.
The fourth South American driver is Chile's Boris Garafulic who is going to once again race the Dakar with his French co-driver Gilles Picard. In the previous two Dakar Rally editions –Garafulic also started for X-raid – the Chilean proved that he is a top-15 driver. He once again will race the MINI ALL4 Racing in the Chilean colours.
With Poland's Martin Kaczmarski, the X-raid Team line-up also comprises a Dakar rookie. The 23-year old has been contesting off-road and cross-county rallies for just two years, now. In his appearances to date he impressed with his pace. In the passenger seat of his MINI ALL4 Racing, the experienced Portuguese co-driver Filipe Palmeiro will be responsible for the navigation.
Russia's Vladimir Vasilyev and his Ukrainian co-driver Vitaly Yevtyekhov are well-known faces in the off-road rally fraternity. Vasilyev already raced a MINI ALL4 Racing in the 2012 Baja Portalegre. Now he wants to also go for it with X-raid in the Dakar Rally. He secured the fine third place in the Morocco Rally and in addition he won a special stage. Further, he finished runner-up in the Silk way Rally and secured the title in the Russian Off Road Championship.
Meanwhile, Zhou Yong is the first Chinese driver to race with X-raid. He already has got the experience of six Dakar appearances under his belt and finished 19th in the 2012 and 2013 editions of the legendary desert rally. And this October he won the China Grand Rally. He also will race a MINI ALL4 Racing, in the 2014 Dakar.
The German pairing Stephan Schott / Holm Schmidt also is going to race again the 2014 Dakar with a MINI ALL4 Racing. It's the sixth Dakar for Schott and his second with the MINI ALL4 Racing. This year, he attracted particular attention with his impressive seventh place in the Abu Dhabi Desert Challenge.
"We can rely on a competitive team, in the Dakar", says X-raid Team Manager Sven Quandt. "Our line-up comprises several faces that are well-known from the previous Dakar Rallies but some newcomers, too. I'm convinced that some of them could be good for a surprise. Certainly a lot of people will keep an eye on Zhou Yong, the first Chinese driver in a top car. The 12-vehicle line-up also represents a major logistic challenge for us. In this area, our experiences gathered in the past years will prove to be helpful."

Charlestown is a town in Sullivan County, New Hampshire, United States. The population was 4,749 at the 2000 census. Charlestown includes the villages of North Charlestown, South Charlestown and Hemlock Center. The town is home to Hubbard State Forest and the headquarters of the Student Conservation Association.
The primary settlement in town, where 24% of the population resides, is defined by the U.S. Census Bureau as the Charlestown census-designated place (CDP) and is located along New Hampshire Route 12.
The area was first granted in 1735 by Colonial Governor Jonathan Belcher of Massachusetts as Plantation No. 4, the fourth in a line of forts on the Connecticut River border established as trading posts. Settled in 1740, Number Four was the northernmost township, and its 1744 log fort became a strategic military site throughout the French and Indian Wars. Several settlers were ambushed and captured by the Indians, and in 1747 the fort was besieged for three days by a force of 400 French and Indians. Captain Phineas Stevens and 31 soldiers, stationed at the fort, repelled the attack. Their success became well-known, and the fort was never attacked again.
The community developed into a center for law and lawyers, second regionally only to Boston. Its prosperity would be expressed in fine architecture. Sixty-three buildings on Charlestown's Main Street are now listed on the National Register of Historic Places. They include the Gothic Revival South Parish Church erected by master-builder Stephen Hassam in 1842, St. Luke's Church designed by Richard Upjohn in 1863, and the Italianate Town Hall designed in 1872 by Edward Dow, New Hampshire's most prominent architect after the Civil War. Dow also designed Thompson Hall, centerpiece of the University of New Hampshire.
A reproduction of the Fort at Number 4 is now a historical site, where military reenactments and musters occur frequently throughout the summer months. Tours are offered of its stockaded parade ground and pioneer-style houses.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of 38.0 square miles (98 km2), of which 35.8 sq mi (93 km2) is land and 2.2 sq mi (5.7 km2) is water, comprising 5.66% of the town. Charlestown is drained by Clay Brook. The highest point in town is Sams Hill, at 1,683 feet (513 m) above sea level). Charlestown lies fully within the Connecticut River watershed.
The town center, defined as a census-designated place (CDP), covers an area of 0.9 sq mi (2.3 km2), about 2.4% of the area of the town. 0.8 sq mi (2.1 km2) of the CDP is land and 0.0 square miles (0.1 km²) of it (4.55%) is water.

My only problem with CV's is the amount of damage they can direct to a single ship, It is like using an Ultimate ability. Hey when I fire a round or launch a torp from a NON-CV, its set and forget, I think that is the way CV firepower delivery should be, I also think that Fighters should be able to strafe DD's for small damage. Torpedo drops should not be manual or if they are manual you have to set them and forget them at a much further distance. If they did that then it would be much more fair.
Nope. I just don't think you're worth the time. It'd just be a waste of time and effort. Not because you'd debunk everything, but because you literally cannot be convinced of anything that was not already your idea.
I could say the same thing of literally everyone else I've had discussions with here*.
And yet, I, unlike you, am not afraid to keep putting my ideas out.
Could it perhaps be that I have confidence in the validity of my ideas, while you know, deep down inside, that your ideas are wrong?
But by all means, keep focusing on people, since you clearly can't argue on the basis of the actual game.
* And on that note, when people keep making the same arguments, time after time, it's funny how people like you will only ever accuse one side of the debate of being obstinate, stubborn, or unable to change their minds.
At least I have the self awareness to not accuse others of exhibiting behaviours that I would also be guilty of as a consequence.
I could say the same thing of literally everyone else I've had discussions with here.
"He won't engage in an argument with me, so that must mean I'm right!"
Nice "Argumentum ex Silentio" fallacy. Since I refuse to engage you, obviously I'm wrong.
What Wargaming should do, is modify how XP is calculated and give more bonus to team play focused aspects of the game (ie. BBs Tanking damage, fighting around caps, maybe bonus for focus firing enemies?
I think cvs are absolutely cancerous for the game at higher tiers. They prevent dds from capping, spot cruisers trying to move into decent positions, and make bbs hide. I find it funny how people always complain about passive teams yet in my 7k battles I've rarely seen these hyper passive teams.
Nice "Arguement from Motives" fallacy. Claiming my motivation is that I know I'm wrong and don't want to be exposed, when really I just don't care to engage you on the subject anymore.
One little problem: That's not an argument from motive.
Argument from motive is the dismissal of someone's arguments on the basis that the argument they're making benefits them personally. Something along the lines of: "Battleship players argue in favour of CV nerfs because they personally benefit from those nerfs, therefore, the points those BB players make are wrong by default".
Oh, wait, isn't that what you just did earlier in this thread?
- Argumentum ad nauseum: "We've already discussed this so many times, I'm sick of discussing this"
You're right. It was an Argument from Silence, which I already corrected my post to.
You're claiming that since I won't argue with you, you must be right.
Mm, see, thing is, an Argument from Silence is not always a fallacy.
In particular, it CAN be valid, for example, if the author neglects to discuss something that's directly relevant to the subject they're writing about.
Another problem at a more basic level, the argument from silence is an argument applied to the interpretation of historical documents, i.e., to infer the motivations of authors that are no longer available to answer that question themselves - typically because they've been dead for thousands of years.
This is not relevant to this current discussion, as I can directly ask you why you refuse to make your arguments, a question you've already answered: You're sick of having this discussion, aka, an argumentum ad nauseum fallacy.
So, why don't you quit obfuscating, and either trot out your arguments, or admit that you're wrong?
i really could care less about your argument that occurring now, but i do care about the subject of this thread, and why i belive the title is correct, even if the arguments used to support said title is a little off.
my reason i think CV games help releave the slower hide behind meta we currently have.
1 - spotting DDs, without radar/sonar.
- a lone BB with a CV in play is a dead BB, helping to keep things moving by forcing BBs to stay with a pack or risk dying. while this can also be accomplished with a competent DD, it doesn't have the same fear factor effect that having planes come at you does. and at the same time, seeing the planes coming means you can (to an extent) reduce incoming damage.
3 - team play is heavily rewarded.
- while a single ship may be able to shoot down a few planes if heavily specced into AA, a group of ships playing well together will be able to rack up many, many plane kills, helping your CV, hurting the enemy CV, and usually keeping the game going as the packs in general move around the map together (at least when not on tears of the f-n desert epicenter....) keeping the game with some momentum.
while CV's in there current iteration are broken (as in not the most fun to play, not op) with long reloads, minimum rewards for doing well, inconsistent punishments for bad plays (ex... over compensation for getting attacked, loosing all your planes from misplays, straife existing ect...) and a less than steller skill floor vs skill ceiling discrepancy causing heavily unbalanced games, i still believe the few games i get with them to be far better games at high teir (even when playing destroyers and getting spotted allot) then the many games without them.
im editing this it sent before done, give me a min before reply please sorry ! - Edit: other then a few grammar and spelling errors i know exist in this, i believe it presents my current argument for CVs as well as i can get it across.
"You won't argue with me, so you must be wrong."
What is or is not "team play" is not something that can be clearly defined by a reasonably small set of rules. For example, if you smoke up an ally who no one is shooting at, instead of smoking the guy the enemy team is focusing, is that team play? After all, you're smoking up an ally.
The only real way to properly reward team play is to shift rewards onto the thing team play is supposed to give you, wins.
Reward wins first, and personal performance second.
Good luck getting that change through, against the entire unicum community whining about their teams letting them down.
Tier 8-10 matches turns more into a game of "Call of Duty" than a naval game when there aren't any aircraft carriers. Without aircraft carriers the game of "World Of Warships" turns into a game of a first person shooter game where everyone is hiding behind islands, very little team work, and everyone is afraid to push. With aircraft carriers in the match, you can't play hide and seek when aircraft will delete your static [edited]. We need more aircraft carriers at the higher tiers to stop the rampant camping behind islands with a play style that is equivalent of an infantryman. Give a bonus, or some other incentive to play aircraft carriers. Otherwise with all the static play, "World of Warships" turns to crap.
Yeah, yeah....here comes the dumb [edited] comments from the peanut gallery like "get gud" and "play aircraft carriers". For one if "getting gud" means to play high level matches like it was "Halo", or "Rainbow Six", then I am out. That is just not fun, and gets old very quickly.
OP fundamentally does not understand high tiers. It's not the "lack" of CVs that makes high tier matches campfests with everyone island hiding. It's that every ship is a glass cannon, easily deleted because by T10 offense has scaled faster than defense, meaning that any ship that pushes up is instantly dead. The only solution would be to either increase defense (particularly, reducing fire chance and the deck armor overmatch mechanics) or reduce offense (reduce ROF and fire chance for all ships). But WG won't do either.
More CVs would simply increase camping and clumping, especially since high tier CVs are unstoppable OP guided missile cruisers.
The hidden problem, seldom discussed, is the absolutely crapstupid maps in the high tiers. In the low tiers I look forward to Big Race and New Dawn, both fun maps that mix plenty of open space with plenty of islands. There are no fun maps in the high tiers. Shatter is the absolute nadir of WOWs playability, a map that signals immediately that the devs do not actually play the game, and the other maps are scarcely better. Maps such as Tears of the Desert, Warrior's Path, Loop, and Sea of Fortune are awful, offering players only two choices: plunge into the center of the map's islands and die quickly to focused fire, or remain at range. Only Okinawa with its open space in B and C provides the opportunity for fluid, enjoyable gameplay, and that map is dull because it has one solution: go B and C. Fire is a ghost of its former wonderful self since they randomly tossed in crappy islands, especially since the spawn is so stupid: everyone spawns at B and C, resulting again in predictable matches.
Moreover, on most of those maps, large areas of the map surface are never used. On a map like Big Race or New Dawn, ships use the entire map.
Islands. New Dawn has islands everywhere. Moreover, those islands are perfect -- in most cases high enough to duck behind but low enough to shoot over if you are some distance away. If you want ships to push up and use the map, you need to sprinkle islands everywhere, not just in a band of crapchoked, crapchanneled garbage in the center of the maps, making every game exactly the same. With islands everywhere, ships will use them to push up in safety. Without them, they can only either die in the center, or live at range.
High tiers don't suffer from a lack of CVs (CVs ruin gameplay). They suffer from two totally fixable problems: WG's mapmaking philosophy, obviously implemented by people who don't play the game, and the absurd offensive power of high tier ships.
No, it's: "you won't even present your argument, therefore, you certainly aren't right."
You don't want to argue? Don't. But at least have the backbone to give arguments as to why you think you're right.
- It is not reasonable to expect ships to outmaneuver planes 10x faster than they are, like you can against normal torpedoes.
- For surface ships, other than (marginally effective) WASD, the only real counter to planes is AA, which is more a factor of statistics and build than any player skill.
- The only real counter to CVs is another CV, which feeds into other issues.
- CVs combine excessive damage, survivability, and utility, each of which would have made a ship extremely strong on it's own, in a single package.
- Any capabilities a ship has becomes a responsibility. This is true regardless of class (DD, why aren't you capping/smoking, CA, why aren't you radaring/giving me AA, BB, why aren't you tanking), but CVs have so many capabilities that this becomes a problem.
- This results in an incredibly steep skill wall, overwhelming players interested in the class.
- This is exacerbated by the way this game calculates rewards: The skills a player needs to learn to defend themselves, or fight at a disadvantage, are very poorly taught, in favour of emphasising raw damage dealing.
- Difference in skill between CV players results in a much different difference in in-game power.
- Since CV are the only real counter to themselves, outplaying your opponent directly shuts them down in a way no other class is capable of. This magnifies small differences in skill to much larger differences in match performance.
- Another reason WG cited as to why they removed CVs from clan battles.
Given that one of the reasons why CVs are broken is "they can do too many things", any rework that fixes CVs will inherently be a nerf, as it's removing capabilities.
That's why CVs are garbage, now let's hear your arguments as to why they're not.
Going up the CV lines now, the main issue is economy imo.
CVs should get more XP for doing CV stuff like damage upon spotting and killing planes, instead of just farming damage.
I keep telling him I won't argue with him and he keeps trying to get me to argue with him.
Starting to wonder if he's desperate for it or something.
Did you actually like our past interactions over carrier balance? Is that why you're pushing so hard for me to debate it with you again?
post looks odd with full quoting.
1 - agreed. there is inefficient counter-play to CVs in the game.
2 - i would disagree with survivability (at least from what i can say ive experianced recently -havent played IJN CV in a long time, recently been playing USN) unless you spec into stealth CV's are massive, easily spotted ships that rely upon hiding behind islands and a allied front-line to be able to do anything, and can rarely get more then 4-5 strikes out in a match due to flight times, unless they are on a really small map.
2 B - yeah they do have an issue with perma spotting things, which can really only be solved by asking your own CV for assistance - so yeah in agreement here.
3 A - i personally see this a positive effect, as it becomes closer to a team relying on each-others unique ability's rather then individual contributions -but again thats just my personal opinion, which i know is not a popular one.
3 B - yeah more tutorials, or a more intuitive interface is needed to help lower the difference between a skilled and unskilled CV player.
4 - im in agreement here.
my reasons for liking CVs are stated in my previous post, so i wont repost here as its in the same thread.
And we're back to ad hominems. It's clear you don't have any valid ideas, otherwise, why wouldn't you present them?
You can not argue on topic, therefore, you derail to personal attacks to stay in discussions you don't belong in.
It's actually not an ad hominem, it's an observation and a legitimate question.
If I wanted to construct a personal attack on you I'd just deconstruct your psyche and motivations so everyone can see exactly what kind of person you are. Again.
Using warships.today, 2 week stats, with a 25 battle minimum for teh lulz, to catch ships like Alabama ST and Black, the CVs with the lowest survival rate are Langley and Bogue. The slowest, most vulnerable CVs in the game, with horrendous concealment, played by the least experienced players, on the smallest maps with fewest places to run (if they could run, that is).
Those two ships are tied at 51% survival rate.
What other ships come close?
Well, the only things at their tier are Nikolai (totally balanced), and Ark Beta (only owned by 2year+ veterans of the game, at 47% and 45% respectively.
Expanding that comparison to all tiers, the only ships that compete with CVs for survival are Alabama ST at 62% survival (over a whole 29 battles, so not only is it statistically insignificant, I very much doubt the skill of STs who've earned Alabama are comparable to the skill of the general population. Regular Alabama has a 40% survival rate), and Conqueror, which ties with Bogue and Langley at 51%.
Black and Lion are close (47% and 50% respectively), but are ultimately out-survived by the worst CVs.
So, to summarize: The 2 worst CVs in the game, played by the least experienced players, have survival rates equal or superior to some of the most OP ships in the game.
Apparently, all it takes to be competitive against a T4 CV that goes 16 kt in survival are T10 BBs with zombie heals and cruiser concealment, or T9 DDs exclusively played by people who've reached Rank 1 5 times.
Regardless what your personal experience is, CVs are insanely survivable. All of them.
Apparently, all it takes to be competitive against a T4 CV that goes 16 kt in survival are T10 BB with zombie heals and cruiser concealment, or T9 DDs exclusively played by people who've reached Rank 1 5 times.
all right, if your going off server stats then yes the ship itself does often survive. but how many of the planes are lost, how often do you see a CV attempting to ram because they are out of planes (relative to how much you see CVs at all at least) ?
a CV with 0 planes left might as well be dead in my opinion - perhaps i wouldn't consider ti this way before the economy change, but now with 0 decrease in operating cost from the ship living, but a massive loss in credits for the planes lost, to the player, they would be better off dyng at that point, as tanking damage is the only way they have left to earn credits.
since this isnt recorded seemingly anywhere, plane shot downs are, but plane losses arent, its a difficult bit of survivability to measure, but is vital to how survivable a CV actually is in my opinion.
Funny, the ability to punish stationary battleships bow-camping or island-camping is the exact reason battleship mains whined carriers out of the game to begin with.
Much as we disagree on many things, I must bow and acknowledge we agree on this one.
AP bombs causing multiple citadel hits, Tier 9 and 10 Japanese CV triple torp drops literally 1 kilometer from the ship ignoring 100 AA speccd battleships getting dev strikes, I hardly call that just scratching the paint. I'm not saying some planes should make it through...however an experienced cv captain can straight wreck a bb moving or not.
Meanwhile, while you were sailing around in your BB delivering double, triple citadels to Cruisers, getting 1-shotted, it's all good.
When the DD eats a bunch of BB AP shells (lord help it if it's a penetrating hit) and gets whacked, or just randomly detonates from even Secondaries Gunfire, it's all good.
I ran some calculations to make an educated guess about T7 CV plan losses.
1 additional caveat that I hadn't considered at the time: Since T7 AA is likely to run into T6 CVs, which have a lower capacity than T7+ CVs, the estimates are probably being underrepresented by perhaps 20-30%.
There are other factors which overpredict plane shoot downs though, so my estimation would be that the numbers underestimate plane losses by maybe 10-20% overall.
- Ignore catapult planes. this OVERestimates total CV plane losses.
- Assume all matches are 1 CV, and that the 2 CV matches will be "cancelled out" by 0 CV matches. Valid assumption as long as there are more matches without CVs than with, imo.
- Ignore tier differences. Assume that high losses when uptiered will cancel out lower losses when downtiered, and assume that lower shot down when uptiered is cancelled out by high shootdowns when downtiered.
- Divide this number by total number of T7 matches to find proportion of matches with a CV. Invert to find "correction ratio" to apply to average shoot downs.
This number is multiplied by 24 to account for the 24 planes. = 66.13 planes are shot down in one average T7 match.
[Plane capacity]*[matches played] for all T7 CVs / total CV matches played = 69.73 planes are taken into a match by a single CV, on average.
Simple enough. Divide # planes shot down vs total # planes.
i.e., in an average T7 match, a CV will lose 47.42% of it's planes.
So you can cut all of this "poor CVs face OP AA" garbage.
Some players might have trouble with plane losses, and some games will obviously be worse than others, but overall?
Those T7 CVs, IN REAL PVP GAMEPLAY, i.e., not some contrived 1v1 situation, are holding on to their planes just fine.
I had previously also run the numbers on T10 CVs, and came up with estimates of around 80% losses (sounds nasty until you consider Hakuryu carries 100 planes, Midway carries 130+ planes, and that it's typically fighters that get lost the fastest - the enemy CV is the biggest threat to your planes, not easily avoidable AA).
Conclusion? CVs might be running on partial squads at the end of a match, but they generally won't be empty.
This varies greatly based on individual CVs and players, certainly, but on average, CVs do quite well in surviving with planes.
The only tier where I might agree a problem exists is T6, which has to face up to T8 AA with insufficient reserves. T7 is fine, as demonstrated above, while T5 has semi protected MM, which should also leave it in a decent place.


Can you cover rocks with mulch in landscape/flower beds?
We have white rocks, put in by the previous owner of our home, in our front beds. Now weeds are growing up through the liner and it's a never-ending battle to keep the beds looking good. I want something else, like mulch, but I don't know how to go about changing and we can't afford to pay someone to do it Any ideas?
I just covered my rocks with extra mulch.You will have to keep adding it as the mulch wears away.
Post on local sites that you are giving away free rocks but that whomever is interested has to do the removal. most people want free stuff even if it requires a bit of work. Once the rocks are gone, mulch away!
can I put rocks over mulch?

Daewoo Shipbuilding wins $873.74m LNG carrier order
Staff Writer | March 6, 2017
Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering has clinched deals worth up to some 1 trillion won ($873.74 million) from two European oceangoing vessel operators for the first time this year.
The contract for four ships will be valued at 600 billion won ($524.25 million) but it will exceed 1 trillion won ($873.74 million) with an option for two more vessels.
As DSME is under pressure to repay its 440 billion won worth debts maturing in April, there has been rumors about its crisis. With the latest deals, all eyes are on whether the company will be able to get out of the crisis.
The shipbuilder announced on March 2 that it inked an agreement with a European vessels operator based in the Marshall Islands to construct two 173,400-cubic meter class liquefied natural gas (LNG) carriers.
As the deal includes an option for two more ships, additional orders are also expected. The contract value may double to 830 billion won ($725.21 million), if the client chooses to have two additional vessels built under the deal.
In addition, DSME signed an agreement with Frontline, a Norwegian shipping firm, to sell two very large crude carriers (VLCCs).
The Korean shipbuilder has been constructing the two VLCCs for an Oceanian shipper but the contract was canceled in August last year. Accordingly, the actual value of the deals will surpass 1 trillion won ($873.74 million). ■

Looking toward Mission street. Quiet rooms on the left.
Noisebridge could use a place where silence is maintained during busy hours. New quiet work rooms in the south west corner of the Noisebridge space; the current location of the Hackershelves. Individual room names TBD.
If the hackershelves can be moved. Build two enclosed quiet rooms with doors and windows for light. Frame out walls with 2x4s and connect 2x8 ceiling joists from top plate to existing south wall frame. Finish with sound proofing and sheet rock. Leave openings for non lockable doors and windows, these can possibly be reused from other projects in the space. If windows and doors that offer greater sound proofing can be sourced, even better.
Jarrod Hicks, and anyone I can convince to help.
We create a place where loud activities and busy times in the space don't interrupt hackers that need a low noise environment to work and meet with collaborators. (One of the rooms could be non-reservable). This may also allow more separation between hackers that prefer music while working and those that don't. Increasing the options for places to hack within Noisebridge. The larger of the rooms will also be a good place for the optical instruments.
The materials for the room will not be cheap. People trying to live in the rooms may be an issue.
This project would likely take place at towards the end of the ReBase project.
Money for materials: Framing,decking , hardware, soundproofing, electrical wiring, lighting, possibly doors/windows.
Dependent on HACKERSHELF HEALTH moving the Hackershelves. Required for a storage loft above the room.

Q: Find object in array in Swift 2.1 Ok so Swift is great in may areas, and not so great in some.
I am trying to find an element in one array, based on the array from another array.
I have a few visual elements in my app that I need to hide and show sometimes, and instead of writing manual logic to show and hide the visual elements,
I instead put them all in an array and call a function needs a reference array which contains the elements that I want to hide.
For example: I have 10 buttons (or a mix of different objects, such as UIImageViewsand UILabelsetc), we can call them B1 though B10.
If I at some point need to hide ALL elements EXCEPT B3, B4, B7, B9 and B10,
I simply call hideAllExcept(ignore: Array<AnyObject>)(}
and the func handles the rest.
Which elements that are hidden and shown can be completely random at times,
so this approach can be very powerful.
However, when trying to check if an element from the first array contains in the second array I get the following error:
Cannot invoke 'contains' with an argument list of type '(anObject: AnyObject)
How can I achieve this effect in Swift 2.1?
My current attempt looks like this (not working, obviously):
class myCollectionOfThings : UIView {
    let B1  = UIButton(type: UIButtonType.Custom)
    let B2  = UIButton(type: UIButtonType.Custom)
    let B3  = UIButton(type: UIButtonType.Custom)
    let B4  = UIButton(type: UIButtonType.Custom)
    let B5  = UIButton(type: UIButtonType.Custom)
    let B6  = UIButton(type: UIButtonType.Custom)
    let B7  = UIButton(type: UIButtonType.Custom)
    let B8  = UIButton(type: UIButtonType.Custom)
    let B9  = UIButton(type: UIButtonType.Custom)
    let B10 = UIButton(type: UIButtonType.Custom)

    var elements = Array<AnyObject>()

    func prep(parent: UIView){
        elements = [B1, B2, B3, B4, B5, B6, B7, B8, B9, B10]

        //I will be setting up all my UIButtons by code here...
    }

    func hideAllExcept(ignoreElements: Array<AnyObject>){
        var hide = Bool()

        for i in  0...ignoreElements.count - 1{
            if elements.contains(ignoreElements[i]){ //I get the error here
                //Hide the element here
            }
        }
    }
}

A: I do not believe the contains method of Swift arrays works like that.  The contains method you're calling takes a block that will be invoked for every element in the array, and it's up to you to return a Bool if the element matches.
Have you considered using a Set?  It seems like an easier approach given the properties and functions available on a Set.  Note that you will have to declare it of a type that adopts the Hashable protocol, but it seems like you'd want to use UIView as your type anyhow if you want to hide your elements (hidden is declared on UIView).
class myCollectionOfThings : UIView {
    let B1  = UIButton(type: UIButtonType.Custom)
    let B2  = UIButton(type: UIButtonType.Custom)
    let B3  = UIButton(type: UIButtonType.Custom)
    let B4  = UIButton(type: UIButtonType.Custom)
    let B5  = UIButton(type: UIButtonType.Custom)
    let B6  = UIButton(type: UIButtonType.Custom)
    let B7  = UIButton(type: UIButtonType.Custom)
    let B8  = UIButton(type: UIButtonType.Custom)
    let B9  = UIButton(type: UIButtonType.Custom)
    let B10 = UIButton(type: UIButtonType.Custom)

    var elements = Set<UIView>()

    func prep(parent: UIView){
        elements = [B1, B2, B3, B4, B5, B6, B7, B8, B9, B10]

        //I will be setting up all my UIButtons by code here...
    }

    func hideAllExcept(ignoreElements: Set<UIView>){
        for element in elements.subtract(ignoreElements) {
            element.hidden = true
        }
    }
}

You may also want to set elements in ignoreElements to not be hidden, unless you do that somewhere else.  You could easily do that with:
for element in ignoreElements {
    element.hidden = false
}

A: First of all, you should use NSObject instead of AnyObject. like:
var elements = Array<NSObject>()

In your case, i think use Set would be better. here's the snippet:
import UIKit

class myCollectionOfThings : UIView {

    typealias ButtonSet = Set<UIButton>   // More readability for collections

    let B1  = UIButton(type: UIButtonType.Custom)
    let B2  = UIButton(type: UIButtonType.Custom)
    let B3  = UIButton(type: UIButtonType.Custom)
    let B4  = UIButton(type: UIButtonType.Custom)
    let B5  = UIButton(type: UIButtonType.Custom)
    let B6  = UIButton(type: UIButtonType.Custom)
    let B7  = UIButton(type: UIButtonType.Custom)
    let B8  = UIButton(type: UIButtonType.Custom)
    let B9  = UIButton(type: UIButtonType.Custom)
    let B10 = UIButton(type: UIButtonType.Custom)

    var buttons = ButtonSet()

    func prep(parent: UIView){
        buttons = [B1, B2, B3, B4, B5, B6, B7, B8, B9, B10]

        //I will be setting up all my UIButtons by code here...
    }

    func hideAllExcept(ignoreElements: ButtonSet) {
        let exceptions = buttons.subtract(ignoreElements)
    }
}

Why Buy Monsanto?
by Ross - 4-05, 19
Why Did Bayer Buy Monsanto?
Fully aware of the accusations building up against Monsanto, Bayer, already the biggest pesticide company in the world, upped its bid three times ($US6B) to acquired this the 'most hated company in the world'.
Monsanto was already on the verge of being found guilty of negligence and liable for the cancer linked to its flagship product, the Roundup herbicide. Why buy all that trouble - it seemingly doesn't make sense ...
Since then Bayer has lost a $2 billion lawsuit over claims against the weedkiller Roundup. Its stock has been in a free-fall all year, as more bad news about Roundup reaches the public. The company's stock has dropped more than 44% since the acquisition of Monsanto.
It now faces a shareholder revolt and over 30,000 more lawsuits on similar charges. Just from the marketing perspective RoundUp had already reached saturation in the USofA, and in the EU was facing huge consumer concerns about health and environmental harm. All this was so obviously inevitable that it makes you wonder - What on Earth were they thinking? Their CEO thinks they are onto a winner, but they're not telling anyone why.
Hello Brazil...
Long famous for its Carnaval, coffee and rain-forest destruction, Brazil is also the world's second largest soybean producer, (after USoA). With 98% of the world's soybeans used for livestock feed we're talking serious factory-farmed beef; in China and USoA.
Bayer's interest in acquiring Monsanto was in genetically modified seed sector and in the growth of that sector: If these three variables – genetically-modified seeds, agricultural poisons and growth – are put together, only one common denominator can be found worldwide: Brazil.
Currently, Bayer sell 12 pesticide-active ingredients in Brazil that are not authorised at EU level. These are: carbendazim; cyclanilide; ethiprole; ethoxysulfuron; fenamidone; Indaziflam; ioxynil; oxadiazon; propineb; thidiazuron; thiodicarb; .thiram.
Brazil is the world leader in the use of agricultural poisons – and the GM soy-growing province of Mato Grosso holds the world record: If the total amount of agricultural poisons released in Brazil per year is measured in terms of per head of population, then one arrives at the terrifying amount of 7.3 litres per Brazilian citizen. But this is "only" the national average. Brazil's leader in spraying agricultural poisons is the Central Brazilian state of Mato Grosso, where 13.3% (140 million litres) of all the pesticides used in Brazil were sprayed each year from 2005 to 2012, according to the latest calculations by the State Institute for Agricultural Safety of Mato Grosso.
A study by the Federal University of Mato Grosso found in one study that there were 1,442 cases of gastric, oesophageal and pancreatic cancer in 13 municipalities (644,746 inhabitants according to last 2015 census), in which soy, corn and cotton were grown between 1992 and 2014.
By comparison, in the 13 comparable municipalities (219,801 inhabitants according to last census 2015), where tourism predominated instead of agriculture, the number of cancer cases was just 53. This results in a cancer rate of 223.65 per 100,000 inhabitants in predominantly agricultural municipalities, whereas in predominantly tourism municipalities, there is a cancer rate of 24.11 per 100,000 inhabitants -- a factor of 8 times!
