Trijicon VCOG Review
October 21, 2013 By Tom Beckstrand
Soldiers in combat require an optic that allows them to shoot from the muzzle out to several hundred meters. We started the War on Terror with red dot optics for the close-range stuff and fixed on 4X scopes for wide-open spaces. Now the trend is toward a single 1-6X variable that can do it all.
Just prior to the now-infamous Sequester, the Department of Defense was preparing to evaluate a new crop of 1-6X scopes. This new direction reflects lessons learned from the last 10-plus years of war.
The first time I used my M4 on the battlefield came as I was chasing some Taliban across an open desert. Engagement ranges for this particular disagreement varied from 100 to 200 meters before my quarry slipped over a hilltop into a village. I was using Trijicon's 4X ACOG, and it worked beautifully, even after banging around the truck for the preceding few weeks.
I had the choice of many optics to use on my rifle for the deployment. I was issued an Aimpoint Red Dot Sight (RDS), a Trijicon ACOG and an EOTech Holographic sight. The Trijicon seemed best suited for the open terrain, and it had a reputation for extreme durability, so it was my first pick. It stayed on my rifle for the majority of my deployment, but it showed its one weakness when my teammates and I followed the enemy into the village and began searching compounds. It's hard to quickly sight in on a target that's less than 20 meters away with a 4X scope.
This lesson — and many others like it — encouraged the DoD to look at fielding a single optic capable of handling long-range and short-range scenarios After all, it's cheaper to field one optic instead of two, and it also simplifies logistics.
The magic recipe in the DoD's mind (and mine, too) is 1-6X. And just as Trijicon developed the ACOG, the company has now taken its considerable expertise to offer the new 1-6X Variable Combat Optical Gunsight (VCOG). It's an exceptional scope for both military and civilian shooters alike.
The VCOG is manufactured from forged 7075 aluminum and has an integral base designed for use with AR-pattern rifles or other next-generation carbines such as Bushmaster's ACR. The integral base features a twin-screw mounting system that secures the VCOG to the rifle's Picatinny rail section and is easily removed. Any quick-detach system that works on Trijicon's ACOG can be used on the VCOG.
The optic and mounting system is simple and robust. There are no scope rings to work loose or screws to strip out from overtightening. The turrets are capped and attached to the scope body by wires to prevent their loss. The single AA battery that powers the VCOG rides in a housing just beneath the objective lens. If ever there was a soldier-proof scope, this is it.
Magnification is adjustable, thanks to the rotating ocular housing, which is fluted to offer a secure grip. There is also a fin that runs the entire length to provide additional leverage if you want to rapidly adjust the magnification. There isn't a variable-power scope whose magnification is easier — or faster — to adjust than the VCOG. The fin is also a visual and tactile indicator of what the scope is set at. A quick glance from a distance or a touch in the dark and you know what the magnification setting is.
One of the biggest liabilities of a variable is needing it in a hurry, only to shoulder the rifle and find the scope set at maximum magnification. This can be lethal if you're hunting dangerous game or in combat because you'll lose precious seconds discovering — and correcting — the problem.
I'm a firm believer in dialing a variable back to minimum magnification before putting down the rifle and walking away from it.
The VCOG features half-inch (at 100 yards) click adjustments. The turrets are low profile, and the illuminated reticle adjustment has an Off position between each graduation setting — you don't have to run through the entire adjustment range just to get a bright reticle. Simplicity and durability are a constant theme for each feature of the VCOG.
RETICLES AND EYE RELIEF
One of the harder aspects to get right on a scope of this magnification range is the reticle, especially when the reticle is in the first focal plane. FFP reticles change size as you adjust the magnification and are ideal for use in measuring or leading targets accurately regardless of what power setting you're using. The old argument against FFP reticles was that no one measured an object at anything less than maximum magnification, so why bother with one?
However, sometimes there's too much mirage to measure or lead at full magnification, so you need to dial down a bit. Another problem is in engaging moving targets at maximum magnification. It's hard to find a moving target and give it a half- to one-mil lead when you're at maximum magnification and the field of view is miniscule. If you dial down a non-FFP optic, the reticle no longer subtends correctly. Because of this, FFP reticles are absolutely the way to go, and they're what Trijicon puts in the VCOG.
Once the company decided on an FFP reticle, the next problem was to find a reticle that is usable across the entire magnification range. Reticles that can be seen at 1X are often so thick and large at higher magnification that they obscure too much of the field of view and the target. Trijicon has two reticle patterns that work very well in the VCOG.
My favorite is the new Segmented Circle. It has a fine ballistic reticle for use at higher magnification surrounded by a thick segmented circle for use at lower magnification. When coupled with the illumination system of the VCOG, the reticle works as a red dot optic at 1X and a precision arrangement at 6X. The Segmented Circle is tightly centered for red dot use and moves to the periphery, freeing up the center of the scope for high-magnification work. The other reticle pattern available for the VCOG is the company's venerable Horseshoe Dot that has been so popular with the ACOG line. It works on much the same principle as the Segmented Circle, but the inverted horseshoe is placed more tighly around the dot in the center. The result is a more visible red dot at 1X and a more visible horseshoe at 6X.
The glass that Trijicon uses in the VCOG is the same used on the flagship TARS 3-15X optic. It's extremely clear and works well for limited-light scenarios at dawn and dusk.
Another relevant feature that separates the VCOG from other variable-power scopes is the constant four inches of eye relief. This eye relief keeps the scope usable when you're shooting from field positions. Most scopes work well when used offhand or from the bench. That's because it's easy to get your head right behind the scope in a comfortable position.
Problems arise, though, when you start shooting around or under obstacles or when you're bouncing the rifle back and forth between your right and left shoulders. Positions that require hiding or contorting your body while shooting accurately also tend to pull your head away from the reticle. With the VCOG's generous eye relief you have some distance to play with. Four inches gives you a lot more positional flexibility than the 11/2 to two inches found on other optics. The fact that the eye relief stays constant is also a blessing, as you don't have to move your head into different positions with each magnification setting. This type of consistency is a key component of accuracy.
SHOOTING WITH THE VCOG
The sample VCOG I used had the Segmented Circle reticle calibrated for .300 Blackout. While there are seven different reticles calibrated for use with 5.56x45mm, 7.62x51mm and .300 Blackout, I never take the subtension in these reticles as gospel. Variations in loads and barrel lengths will generate slightly different impacts, so it's best to get to know the rifle/optic combo at the ranges you intend to shoot. The subtension marks in ballistic reticles are usually close enough to get the job done, but don't feel like they can only be used for that one caliber and load.
I found the VCOG remarkably clear and user-friendly to shoot and grew to appreciate the fin on the ocular housing the more I used it. All adjustments and controls were easy to manipulate. The VCOG is heavy, but that's the price you pay for a scope robust enough to survive anything that can be thrown at it.
At just over $2,000, the VCOG isn't cheap. Really good glass never is. I believe a good rule is that the scope should cost as much as the rifle. If you've got the money for a $2,000 AR, it makes sense to put its equal in glass on top, especially when the scope is the result of a decade-plus of field-testing and lessons learned in combat zones. Once together, such a combination would be ideal for any number of hunting or defensive scenarios and provide a lifetime of service. I'm glad to see Trijicon spreading its expertise across a broader product line. By developing the VCOG, the company may just have created the ultimate variable for ARs.
The turrets are low-profile enough to be out of the way. This VCOG is paired with an integral base featuring a twin-screw mounting system that secures the optic to a Picatinny rail.
Magnification is adjustable by means of a fluted, rotating ocular housing. The fin provides additional leverage for rapid changing of the power level.
Elevation and windage adjustments for the VCOG: One click equals one-half inch at 100 yards.
A single AA battery provides the power source for the illuminated reticle.
Two reticle offerings for the VCOG include the Segmented Circle (left) and the Horseshoe Dot (right).

Life Insurance Can Ease Financial Burden Of Losing Loved One
Morning Call (Allentown, PA)
Dec. 29--High school senior Heidi Martens heard about 68-year-old Edwin C. Hughes in an ad in her local newspaper in October.
The Monroe County coroner was looking for relatives or anyone who knew Hughes, who died in the hospital Oct. 17 after a lengthy illness. A roommate knew Hughes was a veteran, which helped Martens, who decided to give him the send-off she thought he deserved, by creating the St. Joseph of Arimathea Ministry as her senior project at Notre Dame High School in East Stroudsburg. The ministry provides volunteer pallbearers, readers and altar servers, along with a choir and prayer service for indigent people or those, like Hughes, who die alone.
Martens, along with Monroe County Coroner Thomas Yanac, did some digging and learned that Hughes enlisted in the Army in 1971 and served during the Vietnam War, earning a marksman badge. He later lived in Tennessee, before returning to Stroudsburg, where he was born and died.
At a Nov. 19 funeral service at St. Matthew Catholic Church, Martens and her classmates escorted Hughes' flag-draped coffin, which was provided by Yanac, who owns a funeral home in Monroe County. Following the service, Hughes' remains were taken to Indiantown Gap National Cemetery in Lebanon County for a military burial.
"We believe no one should die without being mourned or prayed for," Martens said. "I hope that he would be happy that we did this for him."
Hughes' case was far from the norm, Yanac said. Typically, his office handles a handful of unclaimed body cases every year, quietly interring the remains in a county cemetery.
That's also what happens in Lehigh County, where the number of unclaimed bodies each year has grown along with burial costs. Most cases are like Hughes', where there are no living relatives to claim a body. But sometimes, relatives just can't handle the expense, which can run several thousand dollars for the simplest of services.
"A death, the cost of a funeral, can be quite expensive," said Lehigh County Coroner Eric Minnich, setting back families already struggling financially.
Considering that 1 in 4 Lehigh Valley area households are just getting by financially, according to a new report from the United Way, the unexpected cost of a funeral can be a life-altering catastrophe. With costs in mind, some families choose cremation, which is a cheaper option than traditional burial. Some consider nontraditional alternatives such as donating a loved one's body to science. And others simply don't claim a body, leaving taxpayers to pick up the tab.
In 2018 and 2017, the Lehigh County coroner's office had 59 unclaimed bodies, 37 of which were buried in the county-owned Cedar Heights cemetery in South Whitehall Township, which is reserved for the unclaimed, indigent and residents of the Cedarbrook Nursing home. The others were cremated. By October of this year, the office had 21 unclaimed bodies.
The county picks up the tab for burials if necessary, Minnich said.
"We obviously encourage people to pursue other avenues because that is a burden to the taxpayers," he said. "But that's what we are here to do at the end of the day."
Minnich said his office helps families understand what resources are available. The most affordable option, he said, is a body donation program that accepts remains for research and science, usually at no cost. The bodies are later cremated, with the ashes returned to the family, he said. One organization plants a tree in the person's memory, he added.
If families are opposed to donating a body to science, cremation is a more traditional option. The Lehigh County coroner's office authorized nearly 3,000 cremations in 2018, a number that increased in each of the previous five years.
Kathleen Ryan, executive director of the state's Funeral Directors Association, said cremations have become the preferred method for handling remains, partly because they can cost a third of the amount of a burial. About half of all remains in the state are cremated, she said, and this is expected to increase to 70% by 2040.
"It's more convenient and more flexible," she said.
The average price of a traditional funeral service in Pennsylvania has risen to $10,000, which does not include the plot and burial vault that most cemeteries require, Ryan said. While cremation costs less, it isn't cheap -- the average price is $6,000 with a service and $2,800 without, she said.
Paul Derlunas opened Allentown Funeral and Cremation Services a year ago, offering packages for as little as $1,295, something he's able to do because he is set up in the Hunsicker Funeral Home on Route 309 in Orefield.
Having worked in funeral homes throughout the Lehigh Valley for the last 15 years, Derlunas witnessed the stress families face after going through the worst day of their lives.
"Now they have to get thrown in front of a funeral home and find something on short notice," he said.
"Nine times out of 10 it's unexpected," he added. "Even when you're dealing with a situation where someone has a terminal illness, you are never really prepared to say goodbye to that person. So not only is there that emotional side where you are saying goodbye to that person, but there comes that financial aspect, unfortunately, as well."
While he wouldn't describe his clients as poor, Derlunas said many are on budgets and looking for a less expensive alternative to the traditional funeral, which is what cremation offers.
"You see the cost of a funeral is going up, but also the cost of living is going up. Everything goes up, so you get to that crossroad where, well, do we really need to have that nice casket or a couple days of viewing? People don't see the value in that anymore," he said.
Paying for any type of funeral can be daunting because the bill almost always has to be paid upfront. Derlunas said he typically gives clients 30 days to pay, but admits that policy has burned him sometimes.
"Last thing I want to do is sit down with someone who just lost one of the most important people in their lives and say, 'Break out that credit card,' " Derlunas said.
Sometimes, families don't know that financial assistance may be available. Minnich said the first place to check is with the deceased person's employer. He said people receiving Social Security benefits also may be eligible for burial or cremation assistance. The state also has a program that provides $750 for funeral expenses for low-income families that qualify. And churches, Minnich said, often can be helpful. Beyond that, there is social media.
"Heck, we've seen lots of people use GoFundMe and it's worked," Minnich said.
The mother of an Allentown man killed in a shooting this year was able to raise more than $10,000 for his funeral services through GoFundMe. And last year, the family of a man who died in a Monroe County skiing accident exceeded their $10,000 goal by more than $3,000.
But the results can be hit or miss.
In November, an Allentown woman set up a GoFundMe campaign after he father's death, posting: "Although my father wanted to make sure we were taken care of, he was never able to nail down a life insurance policy. Funeral costs are expensive and every little bit helps us to give him the send off he deserves."
One month later, only $60 had been raised.

New IRA rules
A look ahead: 2020 legislative session

redpajama_set_name: RedPajamaCommonCrawl


I cannot help but notice all of the Republican hypocrisy during the first three weeks of the Trump administration. It is hilarious to watch Republicans act like they were a model opposition party for the last eight years instead of the ultra-obstructionist party we all remember. It is equally hilarious to watch Republicans abandon so many of the beliefs that they have been preaching for the last eight years. I have a feeling this is going to be a running list so here is the beginning..
1. Deficits no longer matter. Please forget what they have cried about for the last eight years..please refer to prior Republican administrations when they ran up huge deficits.
2. Executive orders are okay again…please disregard the "governing like a king" rhetoric when now referring to executive orders. Donald Trump signed 20 Executive Orders in his first 10 days in office. Republican response: crickets.
3. Super expensive designer clothes are now acceptable…I mean, what else would billionaires and their Stepford women wear?
4. Conflicts of interest no longer exist…because you know, billionaires and generals always do the right thing.
5. Friendship with hostile foreign leaders is now a positive not a negative…you cannot turn your back on those who help elect you.
6. Golf is now again okay for the president to play. He is golfing this weekend on his second vacation in his first three weeks in office.
7. The cost of the president to go on vacation, or to New York, or to Florida is no longer an issue. Apparently it is also not an issue to pay for his trust fund son to go on a business trip. Don't they have their own mercenary goons?
8. The president deserves a chance to succeed…hahaha-because Republicans have no appreciation for irony or hypocrisy. Seriously, tears.
9. Hating the president is no longer patriotic…back to the good ol' days where you better respect the president or get out of the country.
10. Supreme Court nominees should be treated fairly and given a straight up or down vote…no politics.
11. Goldman Sachs hedge fund bankers are not only back in good graces, but they have in fact been appointed to run our economy. Hey poor and middle class Republicans are you feeling conned yet? You should.
12. Republican "Christians" who voted for or somehow support this administration prove the point that their hypocrisy runs deep through any administration. Blocking refugees. "Not a Bible issue." Who are these people?
13. It is okay for the president to weigh in on rulings by the judicial branch…and also okay to then attack the judge and the decision if it is against the wishes of the president.
14. The jobs numbers are magically real again! For 75 consecutive months of job growth the Republican response has been that the jobs numbers are not the real numbers and that unemployment is in fact much higher. Miraculously on the very first "Trump jobs report" the Republicans are touting President Obama's continued record of job growth. Funny however that the usual Republican jobs experts out on the Internet were nowhere to be found. During his White House press briefing on Friday Sean Spicer said, "They may have been phony in the past, but it's very real now." Hahaha…you cannot make this up! Tears.

Танцът е вид изкуство, при който средства за създаване на художествен образ са движението и смяната на положението на човешкото тяло. Танцът е неразривно свързан с музиката, чието емоционално-образно съдържание намира въплъщение в композицията му. Той може да се разглежда и като несловесна форма на комуникация между хората, но не е характерен само за тях, а се наблюдава и сред животните. Така например много птици изпълняват ритуални танци с цел да привлекат партньора си. Също така много спортове като гимнастика, синхронно плуване, фигурно пързаляне и други съдържат елементи на танцуване. Думата може да се използва дори в преносен смисъл – например танцът на листата на дърветата.

Дефиницията на танц зависи от историческите, културните, естетическите и моралните традиции в едно общество. Той може да бъде ритуален, церемониален, пред аудитория, или за лично удоволствие. Характеризира се с грациозност, елегантност, красота, съпроводен е с ритмични звуци и има за цел да разкаже някаква история или да изрази чувства, които се засилват от пантомимата, костюмите, сценичните декори и избора на светлина. Хората, които танцуват, се наричат танцьори, а самото действие танцуване. Изкуството да се създават танци се нарича хореография, а хората, които се занимават с това – хореографи.

История на танца

Танцовото изкуство не оставя ясно идентифицируеми физически артефакти, които да могат да се запазят в продължение на хилядолетия, като например каменни инструменти, ловни сечива или пещерни рисунки. Поради тази причина не е възможно да се каже кога точно танцът става част от човешката култура.

Предполага се, че танцът, заедно с ритъма на музиката и боядисването на тялото в ранния етап на човешката еволюция служи като мощен инструмент за създаване на транс и променяне на съзнанието на човека. В това състояние хората губят индивидуалните си характеристики, самоличността си и придобиват колективната идентичност Съвременни военни единици използват силни и шумни, на висок глас пеене и танци, за да се подготвят за опасни военни мисии.

Танцът със сигурност е важна част от церемонии, ритуали, празнувания, чествания и развлечения, дори преди раждането на първите човешки цивилизации. Археологически находки предоставят доказателства в полза на това твърдение от праисторически времена – като например 9000-годишните рисунки в скалните жилища Бхимбетка в Индия или древноегипетските рисунки в гробници, изобразяващи танцуващи фигури от около 3300 г. пр.н.е.

Едно от най-ранните структурирани използвания на танците е възможно да е при изпълнението и разказването на митове. Понякога са използвани и за показване на чувства към противоположния пол, т.е. свързани са с произхода на "правенето на любов". Преди съществуването на писмени езици, танцът е един от методите за предаване на тези истории от поколение на поколение.

Друга ранна употреба на танца вероятно е като предшественик на транса в лечебни, целебни ритуали. Той все още се използва за тази цел от много култури – от бразилските тропически гори до пустинята Калахари.

В европейската култура, един от най-ранните записи на танцуване е от Омир, чиято "Илиада" описва хорея (χορεία). Ранните гърци превръщат изкуството на танцуването в система, изразяваща всичките различни страсти. Гръцкият философ Аристотел например поставя танца редом с поезията и казва, че някои танцьори с ритъм и жест могат да изразят нрави, страсти и действия. Най-видните гръцки скулптори изучават поведението и отношението на танцьорите в тяхното изкуство на имитиране на страстите.

Техника на танца

В началото на 20-те година на XX век, различни учения за танца (тренировка, критична теория, музикален анализ и история на танца) започват да се считат за академични дисциплини. Днес тези проучвания са интегрална част от програмата на много университети по изкуствата и хуманитарните науки. В края на XX век признаването на практическите знания като равни на академичните знания довежда до появата на практически изследвания и практиката като научно изследване.

Хореография
Хореографията е изкуството за създаване на танцови и балетни спектакли. В съвременната хореография се различават битови танци (народни и бални) и сценични танци (естрадни и балет). В балета хореографията синтезира в единен художествен замисъл изкуствата на танца, музиката и театъра. Тя е синоним на танцова композиция. Думата хореография буквално означава "писане на танца" от гръцкото "χορεία" (кръгов танц) и "γραφή" (писане).

Хореографията може да е планирана в най-малките детайли и да не оставя много поле за интерпретация на самия танцьор, но може също така да е импровизация, с други думи хореографът може да даде само общи идеи и правила и да остави останалото на самия танцьор.

Видове танци

Има изключително голямо разнообразие на танци – по предназначение, по географски район, по социално положение в обществото. Тяхната класификация може да стане по тези и други критерии.

По брой танцуващи
Така например по броя на танцуващите могат да се разделят на:
 индивидуални (соло)
 с партньор (по двойки) – партньорите са обикновено мъж и жена, които като правило остават заедно по време на целия танц и техните роли са разделени
 групови – могат да бъдат само от жени, само от мъже или смесени, като движенията са синхронизирани и обикновено участват в някакви формации – линия, окръжност и тн. Много от народните танци са групови.

Според предназначението
 Ритуални
 Състезателни
 Еротични
 Социални
 Концертни

Народни и професионални танци

Народният танц запазва връзките си с езическите и битовите обреди. Професионалният танц бива класически, характерен, състезателен и модерен. В съвременната хореография се различават битов и сценичен танц. Класическият танц заимства от античния танц, обогатява се и днес с това понятие се означава танц, който има класическо съвършенство. Характерният танц възниква от фолклорните и жанровите танци, обработени хореографски. Терминът модерен танц възниква през 20 век в САЩ за означаване на сценична хореография, която отрича традиционните балетни форми.

Българските народни танци включват предимно ръченици и хора. Ръченицата е танц, който се танцува индивидуално, по двойки, или групово. Няма по принцип захват за ръцете, освен ако хореографията не го изисква. Ръцете обикновено стоят на хълбоците, с изправени лакти.

Разпространена е в цяла България, но в отделните етнографски области се танцува в характерен стил, например тракийска ръченица, шопска ръченица и тн. При групово изпълнение на шопската ръченица всеки танцьор се хваща за колана на съседните танцьори. Хорото е колективен танц, характерен за българския фолклор, при който участниците се подреждат в кръг, линия или други формации. Ритъмът на различните хора варира от бавен до бърз, като превес има неравноделният такт. Най-известни са право хоро, дунавско хоро, шопско хоро, дайчово хоро и ганкино хоро. В зависимост от вида хоро, всеки танцьор се хваща или за ръцете, или за колана на съседните танцьори. При изцяло мъжка формация, танцьорите може да се държат и за раменете.

Спортни танци
Спортните танци, наричани още състезателни, са един от видовете танци. Те се разделят на два вида: латиноамерикански (ча-ча-ча, самба, румба, пасо добле, джайв) и стандартни (английски валс и виенски валс, танго, куикстеп, фокстрот)

Q: How to look for datatype rather than page type I'm using isotope to filter different content on my webpage. Right now I have a showcase page in umbraco and I have two datatypes called images and videos
On other pages where I'm using isotope to filter content I am using the page type to do so:
$('#filterNews').click(function () {
    $('.isotope').isotope({ filter: '.NewsItem', layoutMode: 'masonry' });
    $('.newsfilters .btn').removeClass('active');
    $(this).addClass('active');
    return false;
});

However, what I need is to amend the above so that it looks on the page for the datatypes. I've tried the following:
$('#filterNews').click(function () {
    $('.isotope').isotope({ filter: '@CurrentPage.Images', layoutMode: 'masonry' });
    $('.newsfilters .btn').removeClass('active');
    $(this).addClass('active');
    return false;
});

And I get the following error:

Uncaught Error: Syntax error, unrecognized expression: @CurrentPage.Images

I've even tried to get the actual content type from Umbraco as well but that came up with illegal syntax errors.
is there a way I can amend my javascript so it looks for the proper datatype I am after, and not the page type?

A: The error you get here is due to the fact that @CurrentPage.Images is razor script which the server is trying to run while rendering the page. If the property "Images" on the current page is not defined, this will fail (which is what you see here).
What you are doing here is also not really what you think you are doing. The isotope script is javascript which runs clientside, therefore it does not work with razor serverside-script in the way you are writing it here.
It sounds like the filter in isotope needs a class name to filter on, which means you would have to look at the template code that actually outputs your images and videos. Without seeing your template I can't really tell you which part it is, other than it will most likely be something with a 'foreach' or a 'for' loop, writing out your image and video elements. In this loop you would have to modify it to add a class of 'video' or 'image' to the respective elements being output and then you will be able to use '.video' and '.image' in the filter attribute of isotope.

Skipping Intervention in a GAO Bid Protest Can Be a "Pound Foolish" Exercise

Businesses New to GovCon
Blog 09.12.14
By: Patrick T. Rothwell
Virtually everyone agrees that bid protests before the U.S. Government Accountability Office ("GAO") are valuable tools to ensure the integrity, fairness, consistency, and predictability of the federal procurement system. However, for awardees of federal contracts, bid protests by their competitors are often a frustrating and costly process that can cause delays and uncertainties for their future operations.
Because of the costs and distractions to the business, it is not uncommon for contractors—particularly those who are small—to choose not to intervene or otherwise participate in the bid protest. While this is a valid option, particularly when the protest allegations appear to flimsy, such a strategy does come with risks down the line.
The obvious risk is that there could be an adverse decision in the GAO protest. However, a less obvious risk is that, by failing to intervene in a protest when one has the right to do so, the contractor could be precluded from raising otherwise valid protest grounds in any follow-on bid protest for the same procurement that the contractor itself might wish to bring.
This fate occurred in a recent GAO decision involving a contractor, Harris, Inc. ("Harris") who protested the award of a contract by the U.S. Army Material Command to Motorola Solutions, Inc. ("Motorola") for a land mobile radio system for the Detroit Arsenal. However, this was not the first protest for this particular procurement. Earlier, Motorola filed a successful protest alleging that Harris' proposal should have been declared to be technically unacceptable because the radio it proposed did not receive approval by the Michigan Public Safety Communication System ("MPSCS"). Harris did not intervene.
The GAO agreed with Motorola that under the RFP, any radio proposed had to be approved by the MPSCS at the time of proposal submission. The GAO also found that the RFP required specific, written agreements between the offeror and any third-party manufacturer where the equipment being furnished was not manufactured by the concern submitting the proposal. Harris offered to furnish Motorola radios, but did not include the required written agreements which would show that it was able to purchase the Motorola radios from Motorola. Moreover, Motorola showed that it would not have granted permission to sell radios to Harris because it was a direct competitor. After taking corrective action, the Army re-evaluated the original proposals and selected Motorola for award.
Most of the arguments marshalled in Harris' follow-on protest were found by GAO to be untimely. However, relevant to this discussion is Harris' argument that Motorola's proposal likely did not include the required written agreements for the pieces of equipment that it did not manufacture itself. This argument was rejected by the GAO as speculative in nature. The GAO further noted that, had Harris intervened in the protest, it could have (through counsel) reviewed the Motorola proposal as part of the record and could have advanced any challenges to the technical acceptability of the Motorola proposal at that time, including the issue of whether Motorola entered into the written agreements required by the solicitation. The GAO rejected the contention that Harris could not have known the basis for protest before the agency announced the results of its reevaluation of proposals on corrective action.
The lesson from this story for protested awardees is that, generally, as soon as an awardee learns of the protest, it should intervene and have their counsel enter an appearance. When the agency issues its "agency report," counsel will have the ability to review the entire report, including all documents relevant to the protest grounds, to determine whether there is a basis to request dismissal of the protest. In addition, as an intervener, the protested awardee may be in a better position to address the protest grounds that pertain to the awardee, such as its experience or past performance. Or, as is often times the case, the intervener may not need to spend significant resources but by intervening, will be kept apprised to ensure that its interests are represented.
Intervention, therefore, can be seen as a kind of "insurance policy" for protested contract awardees. Understandably, a small contractor may not want to expend this "premium" when there are other pressing needs in building the business. However, foregoing intervention is risky and may prove to be "pennywise, but pound foolish."

Q: get items from a list and it's inner list into one list? i have a list
public class Org
{
  public string Name;
  public List<OrgPost> OrgPostCollection= new List<OrgPost>();
}

public class OrgPost
{
  public string OrgPostTitle;
}

and have:
List<Org> OrgCollection=//GetAll(Org);

and now i have a list of org like this
   [Name,OrgPostCollection]
   [Name2,OrgPostCollection2]
   ...

but i need something like this:
   [Name1,OrgPostCollection[0]]
   [Name1,OrgPostCollection[1]
   [Name2,OrgPostCollection[0]]
   [Name2,OrgPostCollection[1]]
   ...

A: You can do a nested select:
   var flatEnumerable = from o in OrgCollection
                        from p in o.OrgPostCollection
                        select new Tuple<Org, OrgPost>(o, p);

You can then project whatever you want in the select, I project a Tuple<Org, OrgPost>.
The result flatEnumerable is IEnumerable<Tuple<Org, OrgPost>>, you can then call ToList or ToArray to resolve the enumerable into a list or array:
List<Tuple<Org, OrgPost>> flatList = flatEnumerable.ToList();
Tuple<Org, OrgPost>[] flatArray = flatEnumerable.ToArray();


Spineway, specialist in surgical implants and instruments for treating disorders of the spinal column (spine), announces the early redemption of 44 notes redeemable in cash and/or convertible into new and/or existing shares (the "Notes") and the end of the financing via issuance of Notes set up on 28 July 2017 with the YA II PN, LTD investment fund.
The diversification of Spineway's financing methods implemented as part of its strategic plan with the issuance of bonds convertible into new or existing shares (OCEANE) representing a maximum of €14.50M, resulted in the early redemption of the 44 Notes still in YA II PN, LTD's possession, for a total of 440 000 euros.
To this end, today Spineway redeemed 50% of the 44 Notes still in YA II PN, LTD's possession, i.e., €220 000. The remainder shall be paid end of October/early November 2018.


On a brisk evening last November, a hundred guests, warmed by drink and noblesse oblige, sipped their wine and micro-brews and listened as Peg Wyant explained how their support could transform the lives of inner-city youth. The event was the grand opening of the nonprofit Cincinnati Squash Academy in Over-the-Rhine and the setting was the Emanuel Community Center's old gymnasium, dramatically remodeled to accommodate three freshly-lacquered, competition-standard courts and the lofty aspirations of the academy's cofounder.
The fresh faces at the Emanuel Community Center in OTR belong to the city's first urban squashers.
Sport as a metaphor for achievement is nothing new. Neither is the notion of using athletics to help at-risk kids succeed. But squash? In OTR? As a reporter for The New York Times wrote when programs popped up in the Bronx and Harlem over a decade ago: "At first blush, squash, with its whiff of the prep school and the country club, might seem a strange choice for enrichment programs for adolescents from some of New York City's poorest schools." But urban squash has worked there and in more than a dozen other U.S. cities. Wyant believes it will work here, too.
Wyant's four children learned the game at their country club, and they learned it exceedingly well. All were Ivy League players: Jack and Missy, All-Americans at Princeton; Tim, a four-time All-American at Harvard; Chris, an MVP for Yale. Her brood got bigger last fall with the opening of CSA. The first year was an extended selection process—call it a long rally—to recruit, try out, and consistently engage kids in the demands of a year-round regimen of practice, academics, mentoring, community service, and cultural enrichment that concludes, in a perfect world, with college graduation. This fall there are 35 elementary-age students committed to the rigors of the court and classroom, and CSA will soon be back in schools looking for more.
CSA's goal, according to its mission statement, is to "transform talented students in under-served communities into scholar-athletes, productive citizens, and future leaders with character." In squash, when you retrieve a difficult shot, it's a "nice get." Maybe that's the simplest way of explaining what CSA is out to achieve—"nice gets" in neighborhoods where too many children are missing the ball.
CSA occupies 9,300 square feet (about a third of the space) in the renovated Emanuel Center, which was built in 1871 as a settlement house for German immigrants. Until its sudden closing in 2012, it housed a daycare program and provided recreational, educational, and social services to inner-city neighbors. Today the new tenants include OTR entrepreneurs and the officers of Grandin Properties, whose CEO can keep tabs on the academy's progeny from her upstairs offices.
Wyant stays plugged-in, as well, to CSA's young, spirited staff. Executive Director Austin Schiff is 25, as is Academic Director and Education Liason Rachael Parker. Squash Director Vir Seth is 24. Over the past year, the trio may have covered the equivalent of a marathon, escorting students from their schools to the center each week, since CSA does not provide transportation. "We walked quite a bit," says Schiff. "Through snow, sleet, sub-zero temperatures, torrential rain. . . ." It was a trip many of the kids made for nine months before they even received their certificates of enrollment.
In his remarks at the grand opening, Schiff promised that CSA would "select the best of the best" from neighborhood schools—public, Catholic, and charter. But, as the St. Xavier High/Vanderbilt U. grad discovered, tempting children with a sport that most of them (and their families) had never heard of proved difficult. Some elementary schools CSA hoped to work with didn't pan out, and the attempt to enroll teenagers was a demoralizing failure. Schiff visited with seventh- and eighth-graders at Cincinnati Public Schools's heralded Taft Information Technology High School, making a pitch for the new, exotic sports program just a short walk from Taft's Ezzard Charles Drive location. Afterward, he and others from CSA waited outside the school to accompany interested students to the Emanuel Center. No one showed up.
Ultimately, the staff found success with younger kids—attracting 127 third-, fourth-, and fifth-graders from St. Joseph School, Hays-Porter Elementary, and Cincinnati Hills Christian Academy's Otto Armleder Education Center on West Ninth Street downtown.
Not every fall recruit made it to T-shirt-and-beanie day. Some were cut because of poor attendance or what Schiff termed "iffy" behavior. Some simply failed to take a liking to the game. Attrition is a given, says Tim Wyant. Programs typically recruit more kids than they know they can serve because about half will end up being dismissed or will leave. And that doesn't even account for the ones who struggled to get to CSA in last winter's bitter cold.
It's January and she has just returned from a weekend in New York City, where NUSEA board members, staff, students, and alumni from programs around the country celebrated the 20th anniversary of urban squash and a successful $2 million fund-raising campaign. The 800 guests attending the Saturday night gala in the grand ballroom of the Waldorf Astoria Hotel—an event Bloomberg News headlined "Inner City Squash Gets Wall Street Backing"—also received a heavy dose of inspiration. One of the speakers was Reyna Pacheco. Her mother fled their home in Mexico, and Pacheco grew up in San Diego, a poor, illegal immigrant sleeping on floors and sofas. Today, the 4-foot-11 Pacheco, who started to play in the eighth grade, is a senior on the women's team at Columbia University and a Gates Millennium Scholar.
"That's what we want our story to be," says Wyant. And in spite of the academy's struggles to get kids enrolled and keep them coming, she has faith CSA will get there. "And that it's a totally worthwhile journey," she adds.
Many of the city's deep pockets seem to agree. Support from United Way, along with donations from Western & Southern and Reds owner Bob Castellini (who's an honorary board member, as is W&S chairman John Barrett) helped kick-start fund-raising. CSA's list of major donors is a Who's Who of local family foundations—Nippert, Smale, Schott, Schiff, Castellini, among them. With a generous first-year budget of $300,000 and another two years of operating capital in the bank, "we're in a good place," reports Wyant.
In April, the academy held its first CSA Cup, an annual fund-raiser with a silent auction and four teams of supporters playing squash against each other. The auction's big ticket item: a "24-hour Driving Experience" with a Tesla Model S. The big attraction on the courts: former Bengals linebacker Dhani Jones, who serves on CSA's board of directors. Jones pursued his opponent's shots like he was chasing after ballcarriers on Super Bowl Sunday.
"The goal," said fellow board member Harrison Mullin of MVC Capital, who spent his years at Trinity College with a racquet in his hand, "is that all of us will be active—not just in terms of our leadership, guidance, and financial support, but in actual time here at the center with the kids." Once a squasher, always a squasher.
Urban squash originated in Boston in 1995 with SquashBusters, an organization today serving 275 teens and college-age students. It operates with a staff of 20 and a $2 million annual budget. So, if you're starting a program, who you gonna call? Well, you might begin with SquashBusters founder and CEO Greg Zaff, a former touring pro and Williams College All-American.
When CSA's fledgling staff rounded up their racquets, flyers, videos, and PowerPoints and headed out to the OTR frontier last fall, they may not have known exactly what to expect. But their social confidence and ruggedness had already been put to the test. Schiff and Parker are Teach For America alumni. Seth was a college intern at StreetSquash in Harlem.
"The two most trying years of my life," Schiff says of his TFA assignment, teaching algebra to kids in a failing high school in Greenwood, Mississippi, where some of his students didn't know their multiplication tables (and—worse—didn't care). The son of an Indian Hill pediatrician, he now finds himself in the role of Pied Piper for kids from Cincinnati's inner city, taking them on the uphill trek "to and through" college.
Parker is the academy's data tracker, collecting biographical information on the students, grades from their report cards, scores on diagnostic tests—anything that will be helpful as the staff attempts to identify kids who could benefit from academic support outside the home and their regular classrooms.
Last November, I tagged along with the staff as they ushered fourth- and fifth-graders from Hays-Porter to tryouts at CSA. Of the three partner schools, the West End elementary's students are, by the government's definition, the most impoverished. The number qualifying for the federal free and reduced lunch program is well above the 70 percent CSA has established as a minimum in targeting schools for partnership.
After Hays-Porter let out, the 10 academy recruits (boys and girls) frolicked their way up Ezzard Charles Drive, coats flying open as they walked through the parking lot beside Music Hall and across Washington Park to the Emanuel Center. When, at the entrance, Schiff held up his hand, everyone was still. We walked quietly, single file, through the orange doors and paused in front of the Jasper Johns print on the wall outside the girls' locker room so the students could slip out of their backpacks and pull out homework, if they had any, to take to the classroom.
With Parker, the students sat around tables doing their homework for 30 minutes and then retreated to "College Corner"—a rug on the floor—where for the next half hour she read them a book about Wilma Rudolph's struggle to overcome polio as a child and they wrote their answers to questions testing their comprehension of the Olympic gold medal sprinter's inspirational story.
Upstairs on the new courts at the Emanuel Center, the Hays-Porter kids laced up their Payless sneakers, put on safety goggles, and grabbed racquets. "It's important that they are holding the racquet correctly on the first day," said Seth. "The grip is something I really emphasize. We work on forehands, backhands. Some of these kids have now started hitting rallies." One fourth-grader, exceedingly pleased with himself, wanted to brag about the number of times he could hit the ball against the front wall without dropping the volley with Seth.
Afterward there were jumping jacks, leapfrogs, relay races, and sprints. "Seventy-five percent of our time is spent on squash and 25 percent on fitness," Seth said. Then the session ended as it began, with Schiff standing watch at the back door of the Emanuel Center. Some waited to be picked up by family members. Those who had permission walked home through the gentrifying-but-not-entirely-transformed neighborhood in the fading afternoon.
Three Hays-Porter students would achieve Gold Status, joining 15 from St. Joseph (including Ti'Asia and Olivia) and 14 from CHCA (including Madison). Thirteen of the new enrollees are fourth graders this fall, nine are fifth graders, and 10 are sixth graders. Girls outnumber boys, 19 to 13.
Seth announced that as many as 15 students would be traveling to Kenyon College in July to compete in the Midwest Urban Championships—students who a year ago had never held a racquet and had to be persuaded, as Schiff recalled, that "squash was not a vegetable or what you do to a cockroach running across the floor." Parker handed out the June summer camp calendar, with 18 days of practice, a Cincinnati Country Club scrimmage, YMCA camp in Michigan for two students, and a Reds game for everyone.
In addition to a certificate, each student received an orange cinch bag and water bottle. Olivia showed her certificate to her mother, asking if she could put it up on the refrigerator door with her other school awards. "Of course you can," replied April Moorman.
It was an event much like any other end-of-the-year sports recognition day. But perhaps what made it different from a Pee-Wee Football banquet or a soccer awards picnic was this: Everyone here seemed to know they were part of something bigger.


Rocksteady's tough rhino body makes him a turtle-bashing powerhouse. His lack of smarts makes him dangerous. This mutant mammal is big trouble with his Retro-Mutagen Gun: one shot can level a whole building or a shelled turtle. Off-duty, Rocksteady loves to fry up a mess of juicy turtle burgers for the whole hungry Foot Clan.
Rocksteady's fieldglasses survey the area for anything that looks like a Turtle. (He's mistakingly blasted six soccer balls). This G.I. rockhead blatantly displays his victory kills with the turtle scalps he wears around his belt.
This figure was originally release in the US in 1988 and 1990 in the UK.
The figure was also re-released in 1990, 1992, 1994, as a 25th anniversary special in 2009 and part of the Classic Collection figures in 2015.
The Classic Collection figure is identical to all the other previous versions but is missing paint apps on his wrist bands and the camouflage on his trousers/pants.
The Turtle Carver knife figure was also packaged with the 1988 Foot Soldier and later recolored into a blueish grey for the General Traag (1989 action figure) and again for the Night Ninja Rocksteady (1993 action figure) in a bright blue.
The Garbage Can Shield was also packaged with the Cheapskate (1988 toy).


Love is the strongest emotion in existence. It has far more strength than hatred, enmity, revenge, respect or whatever you count as an emotion. God created love and romance to keep this world alive and for that He sent down passion in the hearts of humans for forming strong ties with their life partners. If you see your life, you find that most of your concern and efforts revolve around romance – in one way or another. So, why not you learn how to set romantic bedrooms?
What puts your nerves at ease when you look around in your bedroom? What puts you at ease helps you to listen to your heart. If it is all about colors, set the colors in the way you love them to be. Red roses or red lights, pink sheet or floral curtains, it can be any color and in any combination.
Does the light make you feel more excited? Go for dim lights. They work best for intimacy and romance. Lamps of very low voltage at both of your bed sides are a great idea. Choose the power of bulbs not stronger than a candle or two. They create awesome effects in the room and keep you in good mood.
Water is life and finding a little pool in your bedroom is a cool romance chance that has its own influence on your nerves and mind. If you can manage a pool on your bedside, that would be exquisite.
It's your bedroom and it's your life; have a look of the romantic bedrooms below and go for creative ideas of your own that can always refresh mood to a new level!
Which ceiling lamp suits your style?


The groceries have been bought. There is a big bird sitting in my refrigerator, and the decor is set. I am ready for Thanksgiving. I have spent two weeks wrapping my brain around verses on being thankful and thanking God for all He has done. I have taken some time to remember what all has been done for me. Now, it is time to prepare for the meal.
I have always found it a little funny that so much work goes into one meal. For us, it will mean 14 people sitting around my table. The cooking actually begins tomorrow. My mind wonders to how many days in advance those Pilgrim ladies had to get started for their feast! Oh, how I am thankful for technology!
I wanted to take just a moment to share our meal plan and also some of our traditions that we have that will make our day special.
Then… there will be deserts.
We don't plan on cooking until Sunday!!! We will have plenty of leftovers!
Traditions are big for our Thanksgiving. We spend the day together as a larger family- and here are a few of the things we do!
We will have banana nut bread for breakfast.
We will all put leaves on the tree for what we are thankful for.
A fire in our fireplace.
And, at some point, Peppermint, our Elf, will reappear!
Have I mentioned lately how thankful I am for YOU? You are a blessing- without you, there would be no ministry!
We always put up the Christmas tree on Thanksgiving morning and pull out the Christmas music. At dinner, each family member shares one thing that they are thankful for that year.
My mom makes turkey, stuffing, and sweet potato casserole. I usually bring corn casserole and cranberry relish. Last year, I made a cherry lazy Betty (a recipe from a co-worker). We served it with ice cream, and it was a hit.
I am enjoying your blog, as I always do. Sharing and saving posts.
I would love to have any recipes you feel like sharing……If you have the time. I am a lover of cookbook and no money to buy any. So I get mine from all of you. LOL I just love them.
