Polyhedral artist, whose works are exhibited in many important Italian and foreign cities, begins his career in the late sixties, attending the Schwarz Gallery that counts among its artists Duchamp, Picabia, Schwitters, Arman, Baj.
A solo exhibition is held in Milan at Schwarz organized by Pierre Restany that will remain his critic friend. The exhibition title is "Machines and conditional objects" and represents the beginning of the movement that will become Arte Povera. Germano Celant, with whom Nespolo will attend a series of exhibitions that will be the first ones with the group, is present at this exhibition.
The most important one will be held in Rome entitled "Nine for a path!" He will start a long friendship with Enrico Baj, that will last forever. With Baj, Nespolo will hold exhibitions, conferences, attendances in Europe and USA. Baj, Fontana, Pistoletto, Boetti and Merz will be the performers of his films for many years, with Baj, Nespolo goes round with Man Ray in Paris, who will give him a text for the film "Revolving Doors", film that Nespolo will realize in 1982.
In France since the late sixties Nespolo attends Ben Vautier and actualizes exhibitions and performances.
In 1968 in Turin he holds a series of exhibitions and meetings entitled "Les mots et les choses" where with Ben, Boetti and others he gives rise to a series of events and Fluxus concerts never produced before in Italy. Meeting the artists of New American Cinema: Jones Mekas, Warhol, Yoko Ono, P. Adam Sitney gives the go to the beginning of the cinema of research in Italy. Ugo Nespolo is the promoter, as we can see in the exhibition "Nespolo Cinema / Time after Time" at the Museum of Cinema in Turin.
Nespolo's films have been projected and discussed in the main museums around the world. In France, the Centre Pompidou realizes projections entitled "Nespolo – le cinema diagonal". Twice the Musèe National du Cinema in Paris proposes projections of his films.
The artist is currently the highest Italian pataphyisique authority. He founded with Baj the Patafisico Ticinese Institute and is honored to have his diploma signed by Raymond Quenau, that appreciated a little book of formal logic written by Nespolo and printed by the publisher Schwarz in 1968.


Icon Lover is an application for creation of moving and static graphics. It's perfect for creating design of Vista applications and can process 16-bit DLLs to 32-bit ones for applying on Vista.
Icon Lover is a powerful editor for making and modifying moving and static graphics. With this program, you can easily make and edit icons of any size and color as well as manage icon packs and image lists. It also allows you to make graphics with numerous layers. In addition to the standard set of drawing instruments, Icon Lover has the Effects Studio allowing you to apply such graphic effects as opacity, shade and many others. Furthermore, you can synchronously apply effects to a large number of icons. It also reads most of the existing graphic formats and can convert from one to another of them, so it's simple to get icons from images. With these options, Icon Lover is at its best for nice, smoothgraphics for Vista.
The other advantage of Icon Lover is that it can eliminate the problem, a lot of the developers face while making design for Vista software. Vista doesn't understand 16-bit DLLs anymore. This means that all 16-bit DLL and ICL files are no longer useful for loading icons into API. Well, you can't change Vista's inner structure, but you can use Icon Lover to turn 16-bit DLLs to 32-bit ones. The application works smoothly with both 16-bit and 32-bit DLLs and can turn them from one to the other. That way your old DLLs can be converted and used to work on Vista and the other way around - 32-bit DLLs can be transferred to 16-bit ones to be used on another OS.
Icon Lover has been developed by graphic designers for artists and thus, all much-requested functions are included in a friendly interface. Using this application, your work will be as convenient as never before.

Over 10k expected in 'Tough Mudder NorCal'
By Donna Beth WeilenmanPosted on October 7, 2018 October 7, 2018
SONOMA, Calif. – More than 10,000 competitors from around the world have been competing at Sonoma Raceway since Saturday and are on course today to see if they are "Tough Mudders."
Although the track is best known for motorsports, Tough Mudder NorCal is strictly people-powered. It has been challenging participants for 5 to 10 muddy miles packed with obstacles.
The track itself would be challenging enough, with twisting turns, rolling hills and elevation changes. That's why it was chosen as a site Having the event at Sonoma Raceway also means Tough Mudder NorCal finally has come to the San Francisco Bay Area.
Tough Mudder is an endurance event series that sends participants through miles-long obstacle courses that test both their mental and physical strengths.
Patterned after Billy Wilson's "Tough Guy" races, the Tough Mudder series was developed in 2010 by Will Dean, a former British counter terrorism officer, and Guy Livingstone, a former corporate attorney. Although both are from Great Britain, the two were living in New York at the time.
Dean came up with the concept while studying at Harvard Business School, and it was a semifinalist in an annual business plan contest.
Tough Mudder events soon started taking place in Europe, Ireland, New Zealand and later to Asia and the Middle East. More than 3 million people worldwide have participated in Tough Mudder challenges.
The contests are designed to emphasize teamwork. Teammates often must work cooperatively to succeed in overcoming the obstacles.
Those obstacles often incorporate elements that play on common human fears – fire, water, electric shocks and heights. Although each event has its own specialty challenges, several are considered "signature" obstacles that are incorporated into the longer "Tough Mudder Full" routes of 10 to 12 miles.
In the "Arctic Enema," participants must jump into a large bin full of ice water, dive under a plank and pull themselves out on the other side. "Electroshock Therapy" incorporates live wires hanging over a field of mud that participants must cross.
The "Funky Monkey" is a set of uneven monkey bars that are made slick with butter and mud, then placed over a pit of cold water. To defeat "Everest," participants must run up a quarter pole covered in mud and grease.
The 5-mile course, called Tough Mudder Half, has many of the same obstacles, but the 13 in this course doesn't include fire, ice or electrical shocks.
The Tougher Mudder events are timed, and the newest contest, Tough Mudder 5K is three miles with 10 obstacles that require plenty of teamwork.
Today's feature is the Toughest Mudder is an eight-hour obstacle course race that starts at 8 a.m. Teams will be competing for prizes of up to $5,000, to be awarded to the first place male and female entries.
Sonoma Raceway is at 29355 Arnold Drive, Sonoma.

Google's Gmail Gets SMS Messaging
Google's implementation of computer-to-phone SMS includes a particularly helpful feature since it assigns the Gmail sender a persistent pseudo-phone number.
Google on Thursday started rolling out a new feature for its Gmail service: SMS messaging from the Gmail chat window in the left hand navigation pane.
The new feature is available through Gmail Labs, which can be accessed from a tab on the Settings page. It may not be immediately available to all Gmail users simultaneously, as is common when Google enables new features. Google expects to post an announcement on its Gmail blog late Thursday or on Friday.
To send an SMS message, a Gmail user simply enters an SMS-capable mobile phone number into the chat window and that prompts a "Send SMS" popup menu. Google's implementation of computer-to-phone SMS includes a particularly helpful feature: It assigns the Gmail sender a persistent pseudo-phone number so that the SMS recipient can send SMS messages back to the Gmail user at a later time using a consistent identifier. Typically, a computer user sending an SMS message to a mobile phone would create a different temporary identifier each session.
In the month of October, Google has launched seven new features for Gmail: Gmail Gadgets, emoticons for messages, Gmail for mobile version 2.0, Canned Responses, contact manager improvements, advanced IMAP controls, and Mail Goggles.
Gmail product manager Keith Coleman said that Google Labs has evolved into an increasingly significant mechanism for product innovation and testing at Google. After several years as a test bed for search and other products, the Labs concept debuted for Google's enterprise products about a year ago, for Gmail in June, and earlier this week for Google Apps.
"One of our goals with Labs was to set up a fast, iterative feedback cycle between the guys back in Mountain View coding this stuff and the users all over the world," explained Coleman.
In the past, Google's product development cycle would go something like this: Developers would create a new product, use it within their development group for a few months, launch it for internal use at Google, perhaps expand the user base to a group of trusted testers, and then finally release it to the public.

Great swap and contest results!
A couple of months ago, Keri from Knitty Gritty Thoughts and I decided to have our own little swap. I had been admiring her battlets in her etsy shop and I offered to make her one of my box bag for some of her spinning battlets.
We both send each other's package last Monday and both received ours on Friday. I think I got the best end of the deal… Look at all the goodies she sent me!
There's some fiber there, a cute notebook with and Eiffel tower key chain, the cutest fabric fat quarter and some of her awesome Spinning Project Cards.
The fabric has cute sheep, ducks and hedgehogs on it… I'll have to find a pattern worthy of this fabric!
Make sure to check out her etsy shop, she dyes great roving and makes beautiful spinning battlets. She also sells cute little project bags although she has none in stock now. Thank you Keri, what an awesome swap!
It's taken me the longest time to finally pick a winner. I had 45 entries with a choice of over 100 possible names, you guys have an awesome imagination! I quickly narrowed my choices to my 5 favorites, but then it got really hard and it's the reason why it took me so long. Last night I finally narrowed it down to 3 names that I really liked and I got rid of one only because it's already an online store's name.
At that point I decided to let the random generator make the choice for me… And the winner is Sidney with "Stitching Mushroom"! Sidney, I will be sending you an email shortly so make sure to check your spam mail if you don't see anything from me!
Thank you very much to everyone who participated and for all your wonderful suggestions!
Oh wow, thank you thank you! There were a lot of great name suggesions. I'm glad you liked mine.
That fiber is gorgeous and an unusual color combination. I like it.
that is some beautiful fiber! I love the color combo's and that has to be the cutest fabric I've ever seen!
congrats to you both! i do like that name! Beautiful fibers, oh my gosh, i would so love a knitting bag/box in that lambie fabric! adorable and so appropriate!
everyone is so much more generous than i am. i'm bummed i lost. so close!
fine name though, even if it's not the one i thought of.
What a good trade, I love the fabric it would make a cute bag.
Happy to be a contender. They're all great names!

What are the Eagles looking for in their 'X receiver?'
By Jimmy Kempski
Eagles NFL
Jake Crandall/Montgomery Advertiser via Imagn Content Services, LLC
Alabama's DeVonta Smith and Jaylen Waddle
The Philadelphia Eagles have an obvious glaring need at wide receiver, they have 11 draft picks, and it's a very strong wide receiver draft class. As such, they are nearly certain to add at least one receiver next week, whether that be in Round 1, or later on in the draft.
But what type of receiver would they like to add, if they had their choice? First a look at the team's depth chart at wide receiver:
Eagles WRs 1 2 3
X receiver Travis Fulgham J.J. Arcega-Whiteside
Z receiver Jalen Reagor John Hightower
Slot receiver Greg Ward Quez Watkins Khalil Tate

10 NFL draft prospects who make sense for the Eagles in Round 2
Reagor will have a chance to show that he can be the Z receiver in the Eagles' offense. Beyond that, the Eagles have needs at both the X position and in the slot.
In case you're unfamiliar with X, Z, and slot receiver designations, you can check out this tutorial here. The short-short version:
The X receiver is lined up on the line of scrimmage, and as such, they are in a more challenging position to beat press coverage. Ideally they're bigger receivers who can win in wide variety of ways, and they're often the "alpha" of the group.
The Z receiver is lined up off of the line of scrimmage. It's easier to scheme those guys open by use of motion, and other ways of putting them in a better position to beat press coverage. This is where you'll often find smaller, speedy guys.
And then of course I think you all know what a slot receiver is, but they line up inside and mostly work the middle of the field. The traditional slot receiver is a smaller, quicker guy, though we've seen teams in recent years use bigger receivers out of the slot as well to take advantage of matchups against smaller slot corners.
When you look at the top three wide receivers in the 2021 Draft, you have LSU's Ja'Marr Chase, Alabama's Jaylen Waddle, and Alabama's DeVonta Smith.
Chase is an X receiver prospect. He has decent enough size, he has great hands, he runs good routes, and he's physical when beating press. Waddle is a classic Z and/or slot receiver, in that he's a 5'9, 180-pound explosive playmaker. Smith's fit is a little more nuanced. He attacks the game and has the mentality of an X receiver, but the fact that he's only 166 pounds is going to raise legitimate questions about his ability to beat press coverage in the NFL.
And so, it was interesting hearing Nick Sirianni define on Wednesday what he believes an X receiver is.
"I think these guys come in different shapes and sizes," he said. "What's an X receiver look like? Well, I've had different Xs. I've had TY Hilton who was 5'9", 180 pounds. He played X for us. I've had Dwayne Bowe who was 6'2", 220 pounds. He played X for us. I had Keenan Allen who was 6'3", 200. All these guys that I'm saying, TY was fast; Keenan was quick, not fast; Dwayne Bowe was powerful. They all played differently.
"So it's just a matter of can that guy do what you want that person to do on the outside. Really when you say X, it's can he win one-on-one match-ups consistently. So it's just who can do that. Who can win the one-on-one match-up consistently so the quarterback can take the ball, go one, two, three, four, five, hitch throw, ball's out, everybody is better in front of him because of it. He's better because it's one-on-one out there, and that guy looks different all across the league.
"It looks different across the league. Antonio Brown has been that X; Julio Jones has been that X; Odell Beckham has been that X. All these guys come in different shapes and sizes. Can you do what I just said, can you win consistently one-on-one."
Normally, I might call that an over-simplistic view of the position. However, in terms of this Eagles roster, while a classic "X receiver" would be ideal, their wide receiver position remains so unsettled that they really just need anyone who can get open and make plays.

The last few days (weeks?) have been rough. Bear Squad has been doing a series of twenty plus mile days and the rain has been nearly constant. Rain isn't a problem if it comes and goes, but when it lingers it siphons morale. The clouds block the sun making it hard to dry tents and packs and gear and kill the odor causing microbes. Everything is damp and smelly. In the morning I drag on wet socks that squish with every step. My boots weigh twice as much when saturated. Our clothes are heavy and cold. Blisters and rashes proliferate. It is a malaise of unpleasantness that turns all the chores of camp life into burdens. We are slower setting up and breaking down our tents and crawling from our bags. We procrastinate. We force ourselves to eat and sip fluids. We move more slowly. But always we move on.
Once we found ourselves trapped on an exposed ridgeline in a thunderstorm with no choice but to lose altitude as fast as possible. We sang to keep our spirits up, but The wind stole our voices. We had to touch heads and shout at some points to be heard. For two miles we scrabbled down rocks. Some of our party lost the trail in the storm and were forced to bushwhack up the mountain. Another time we found ourselves climbing fallen branches in a furious downpour trying to free our entangled bear bags.
Then we make a fire and cook a hot meal, and the cold fades. We change into our carefully protected dry clothes and the damp is barely felt. We sip coconut Malibu from ninja turtle flasks bought at Walmart and imagine ludicrous back stories for characters we've met along the way. We read the graffiti on the shelter and the log book to see who's dissing whom. We get a hot meal at hostel or drink a bud light in agas station parking lot. The sun cuts through the clouds and we strip drown to dry what we can. For a few moments, we don't smell quite as bad.

When my son, Mason, was 12-months-old, one day, after barely ever acknowledging their presence, he decided to try climbing the stairs. It only took him two days of practice before he attempted and succeeded in climbing the entire flight. When my mom (always a proponent for a gate) nervously asked, "what did he do when he got to the top?" I responded, "He just kept going. Kept on crawling. He didn't even look back." His gigantic feat reminded me where determination, tenacity, and goal-setting can get me in life: even farther than the top step.
Most parents can probably agree: we are often learning life lessons from our children. These lessons are always disguised in everyday monotony so that our children have no idea they're schooling us. But these lessons stick with us in ways we never thought we would be taught.
I don't know if it's the nice weather keeping people from wanting to set foot inside the gym, or if summer travel and BBQs are shoving way too much irresistible food in our faces, but there's been something in the air with many of my clients lately. Several of them have been lamenting to me about slipping from their exercise routine for a week or more. Or falling off track with their healthy eating habits, feeling like they completely destroyed the hard work they recently put in. This all-or-nothing mentality is getting a lot of people stressed out, and I just want to let you know that we all need to 1) take a deep breath, and 2) stop demanding 100% perfection from ourselves 100% of the time because it's never going to happen.
Instead, what if we learned healthy habits the way that Mason is learning to sort his shapes.
And then there's the red triangle block. Oh that damn red triangle. No matter how much you try, it's never going to fit into that yellow square hole. For now, you have to pull a Mason: just let it be and walk away. Know that you tried your best with all the knowledge you have, but it's just not in the cards for you at the moment. It's not that you're giving up. It's not that your intentions are in the wrong place, or your determination isn't there. It's just that you haven't yet learned how it works. Maybe that number on the scale isn't budging. Maybe you still can't do a pushup on your toes. Maybe an injury is preventing you from doing any form of exercise. Whatever it is, don't get frustrated and give up. Instead, over time, acquire knowledge that will help you get closer and closer to making that shape fit perfectly. Mason and I have been reading books about shapes and colors. He watches me put the red triangle block into the red hole. All education on this topic will some day allow him to make the right move with that red triangle. But today is not his day.
So I want to hear from you. Comment below and let me know: what are your yellow, blue, and red blocks in life?

Jack Sheffield (born Jack Linley, 1945 in Leeds) is a British author who wrote a series of novels about the headmaster of a school in a fictional Yorkshire village.  The stories are set from the late 1970s to the early 1980s and attempt to portray life in Yorkshire as it was at that time.

He grew up in Gipton in Leeds, trained as a teacher at St John's College, York and later became head teacher of two schools in North Yorkshire and then senior lecturer in primary education at Bretton Hall.  He took up writing after retirement, and his first novel Teacher, Teacher! sold 100,000 copies. In 2016 he was awarded the honorary title of Cultural Fellow of York St John University.

Die Villa Siegel (nach ihrem Bauherren auch Villa Mahler) steht am Südufer des Wörthersees in der Ortschaft Sekirn der Gemeinde Maria Wörth im Bezirk Klagenfurt-Land in Kärnten. Der markante Bau geht auf den Komponisten Gustav Mahler zurück, der dort von 1900 bis 1907 seine Sommerfrische verbrachte.

Geschichte
Das Südufer des Wörthersees mit seinen direkt in den See abfallenden Hügeln war im Vergleich zu den mondänen Touristenorten des Nordufers lange Zeit nur schwer zugänglich und wurde erst mit Eröffnung der Wörthersee-Süduferstraße 1899 verstärkt erschlossen. Diese Abgeschiedenheit machte die Gegend jedoch attraktiv für wohlhabende Individualisten. Als einer der ersten errichtete der Wiener "dilettierende Architekt" Friedrich Theurer dort 1893/94 seine Villa Schwarzenfels. Theurers Aktivität trug dazu bei, dass der Komponist Gustav Mahler, seit 1897 Direktor der Wiener Hofoper, westlich von Schwarzenfels seinerseits eine Villa errichten wollte. Für Besichtigung und Erwerb der Gründe war Mahler im September 1899 in Schwarzenfels zu Gast, auch plante Theurer selbst den imposanten Bau für Mahler. Dieser hatte dem Grundeigentümer, Fürst Orsini-Rosenberg, ein 751 Quadratklafter (ca. 2700 m²) großes Grundstück zum Preis von 3755 Gulden abgekauft und außerdem ein Stück Wald einige hundert Meter oberhalb der Villa gepachtet. Am Wörthersee verbrachte der Komponist sodann bis 1907 seine Sommerurlaube, wobei er sich tagsüber in die Ruhe eines eigens erbauten "Komponierhäuschens" am gepachteten Waldgrundstück zurückzog. Dort vollendete er seine vierte und schrieb die fünfte, sechste und siebente sowie große Teile seiner achten Symphonie, darüber hinaus mehrere Liederzyklen. Mahlers Vertraute Natalie Bauer-Lechner beschreibt die Eindrücke in ihren 1923 erschienenen Erinnerungen an Gustav Mahler wie folgt:

Mahlers Glück in Sekirn endete jäh. Im Sommer 1907 verstarb seine noch nicht fünfjährige Tochter Maria Anna dort an einer Infektionskrankheit, der Komponist kehrte daraufhin nie wieder in das Haus zurück und verkaufte es 1908.

Architektur
Bei der Villa handelt es sich um einen giebelständigen Bau mit seeseitiger Loggia mit steilem Krüppelwalmdach. Die Formensprache ist typisch für den Villenbau jener Zeit. Bemerkenswert ist die fast vollständig erhaltene Innenausstattung der Erbauungszeit. Das oberhalb gelegene Komponierhäuschen ist ein schlichter, einräumiger Bau mit Satteldach, der nur Platz für einen Arbeitstisch, einen Flügel, Bücherregal und einen Ofen bot.

On 2 November 2018, the International Nuremberg Principles Academy together with the Max Planck Institute for Foreign and International Criminal Law and the Commission for International Justice and Accountability held an expert meeting to discuss the prospects of private investigations in international criminal justice.
The experts, practitioners and academics in the field of international criminal law concluded that the activities of organizations and individuals collecting, classifying and preserving evidence on international crimes are indispensable. They also agreed on the necessity of a guideline to instruct such activities and to address pressing issues in relation to the use of the information in judicial proceedings. Due to the importance of such activities for the establishment of accountability, the guideline will provide normative instructions for the practitioners gathering information that may serve future prosecutions at the international, regional and domestic level.
The Nuremberg Academy drafted an initial outline regarding different subject matters for the creation of the Nuremberg Guidelines on Private Investigations. The structure and content of the guidelines were created on the basis of the discussions and suggestions of the expert meeting as well as the background research conducted at the Nuremberg Academy.
Once the drafting process is completed, a second expert meeting is planned for 2019 to discuss and debate the final version of the Nuremberg Guidelines on Private Investigations.

Nonviolence and the Palestinian Arab Spring: The Movement Israel Must Empower
By Mark Donig
When the history of the Arab Spring in Palestine is recorded, the recent Hamas-Fatah unity agreement will be seen as merely a prologue to the true story to be written in the coming weeks and months, as the Palestinian people test whether they are ready to choose nonviolent means to achieve their self-determination, as many of their Arab brethren already have. With a bit of vision, Israel may help to write that story in a way that opens the door for peace once more.
With the historic achievements of nonviolent protest in Egypt and Tunisia and ongoing attempts at peaceful protest in Syria and elsewhere, a Palestinian mass nonviolent movement — unthinkable a few short months ago — is suddenly on the precipice of becoming a reality. In commemoration of Nakba day, Palestinian organizers sent out tens of thousands of messages, set up Facebook groups, and used other forms of social media to bring out the largest series of mass demonstrations in recent memory against Israeli occupation and in favor of Palestinian statehood. Recent news suggests that another mass peaceful demonstration is to take place on June 5, in commemoration of the 1967 war. This "third intifada," should it be successful in its ends, will not terrorize the Israeli population; rather, it will effectively parade Israel before the international community as the shameful occupier, and present the Palestinian people as moral resisters.
In Israel, military generals, Knesset members, and ordinary citizens all seem to be frantically scratching their heads, without any idea how to respond or prevent nonviolent protest in the West Bank. The one thing that many experts in Israel seem to agree on is that the idea of CNN or Al Jazeera beaming images of Palestinians marching en masse around Israeli settlements, peacefully demanding an end to occupation and discrimination, would present a PR nightmare.
As one who is unabashedly pro-Israel, I'm astonished by this analysis. Nightmare? Palestinians who refuse violence, renounce terrorism, and protest without weapons have become Israel's nightmare? If only Israel's leadership could think outside the box just a little bit they would realize that this new Palestinian movement actually presents Israel with one of the finest opportunities it has had in years to empower Palestinian moderates and re-open negotiations – thereby halting the diplomatic tsunami against Israel that has until now seemed to be inevitable.
How can Israel do this? By viewing nonviolence as a de facto concession and a repudiation of terror, rather than a challenge. In so doing, Israel will clearly see that it must actually embrace Palestinian nonviolence. It is incumbent upon Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to send a message that Israel appreciates that Palestinians finally believe they can achieve their goals through nonviolence, rather than by terror. In the coming weeks, Netanyahu should prove he is more serious than ever before about concluding a final status deal with the Palestinians — not because of Palestinian unity, but because of their rejection of violent means. He must portray terrorism as the primary historical factor that stood between Israel, Palestine, and peace.
Israel has the opportunity to give Palestinian a real choice: If Palestinians maintain nonviolence, Israel will go farther than ever before in settlement halts, land swaps, and concessions on Jerusalem to conclude a peace deal; however, as soon as the first mortar, rocket, or suicide bomb hits, Israel will be forced to step back. By encouraging nonviolence and empowering peaceful Palestinian activists with immediate Israeli concessions, Israel will give Palestinians themselves reason to reject terrorism — not only morally, but strategically. In so doing, Israel will show itself to the world as seekers of a real peace, despite the perils it may face.
I fear that Israel will not choose this path, however, for more than its right-of-center coalition government. Firstly, Israel fears making any concessions to a government that could be led in any part by Hamas, and they have legitimate reason to hold this fear. Hamas' stated aim in its charter is not negotiation with Israel, but destruction of it through armed resistance. This is why Israel ought to engage directly with the nonviolent protesters before official Palestinian elections are to take place. If Israel can find a way to speak to, negotiate directly with, and empower the leaders of the nonviolent movement and those who support it, it will not only empower peaceful actors, it will encourage those actors to ostracize Hamas and other militant factions themselves. It will leave Hamas with a very difficult decision: to change their methods, or to face exclusion from within.
Israel's second fear is that the country will lose the battle for the narrative, bringing about a so-called "diplomatic tsunami of international isolation."
If Israel chooses this moment to finally become proactive rather than reactive, the world will see a much different story unfold. It will see a country that embraces peace as a means and an end, and has always sought to do so; that fears for its security, but only in the face of those who seek its annihilation; and that is willing to seek out a real partner to end one of the world's most intractable conflicts.
Israel will have to set ground rules, of course; but it must be proactive in doing so. Israel will have to say that protests are different than outright violations of its sovereign territory, as took place during the Nakba demonstrations. It will have to pronounce that throwing rocks at Israeli soldiers is not a nonviolent act. Each time a nonviolent movement devolves into a violent confrontation aimed at Israeli soldiers or civilians, Israel will be justified, morally and strategically, in methodically reconsidering or backtracking on concessions. But make no mistake: concessions are exactly how Israel must respond to Palestinian nonviolence, both to empower peaceful activists, and to ostracize extremists; to fend off the diplomatic tsunami, and to open the window once more for peace, Israel has but one choice.
This is Netanyahu's moment to seize, and visionaries and statesmen within Israel, not outside of it, must help the politician in him see what he himself seems unable to. Israelis have often claimed in the past that former Palestinian Chairman Yasser Arafat "never missed an opportunity to miss an opportunity." Today, the ball is in Israel's court; it can either see Palestinian nonviolence, should it succeed, as a nightmare, or as daybreak. If the former, Israel will remain paralyzed as the Palestinians march unobstructed toward a UN vote that will undoubtedly leave Israel (and the United States, who will assuredly vote against Palestinian declaration of statehood) more isolated than ever before; if the latter, Israel will be able to see Palestinian actions for what they could be — an opportunity for Palestinians to repudiate terrorism for themselves. As Israelis begin to see Palestinian nonviolent protests en masse beginning, Israel cannot permit its finest opportunity to pass it by.


Academic libraries are under increasing pressure to demonstrate value to the campus and the larger academic enterprise. An institutional repository can offer a range of unique and valuable services that enhance scholarly communications at the university and beyond, and in the process the library is redefined as a more active partner in the research and publishing mission of higher education. In Spring 2011 the UNO Library implemented ScholarWorks@UNO, an open access repository of the research, scholarship, and creative work of the university. Our presentation focuses on the various factors to consider in creating an institutional repository, including preliminary tasks like defining the purpose of the repository, identifying funding, choosing a platform, and engaging campus stakeholders, as well as elements of the actual implementation process such as design, allocation of staff, policy development, outreach, and evaluation of services. We will share examples from our own experience and from other library implementations, and relate the range of potential benefits, to both the library and the university, of this dynamic new resource.


The Agouti (agouti signaling protein, ASIP) gene produces a protein that regulates the distribution of black pigment (eumelanin) within the hair shaft. The dominant allele "A" produces hair shafts with alternating bands of yellow and black color, ending with black tips. The recessive allele "a" produces a cat that is self-colored (solid) when 2 copies of a are present. The effect of the agouti protein on orange pigment is limited, thus tabby striping may still be seen on cats that are a/a for agouti. The Agouti gene is responsible for the coat markings "tabby". If a cat carries the Agouti gene (genotype AA or Aa), its coat shows the typical markings of "tabby". If the cat is non-Agouti (aa), the coat is single-coloured (solid). The Charcoal gene (Apb) is very special as it is a result of the Asian Leopard cat Agouti gene. This explains why it is only seen in Bengal cats. Coat markings of a dark face mask and a dark thick dorsal stripe (cape) are also known as 'Zorro markings'.

Al Tamimi& Company leads on the issuance of the first sukuk in Jordan
Khaled Saqqaf - Partner, Head of Office - Jordan & Iraq - Corporate / Mergers & Acquisitions / Banking & Finance / Capital Markets
k.saqqaf@tamimi.com Amman
Al Tamimi & Company's Jordan and Kuwait offices served as lead counsel in the closing of an 85 million JOD Sukuk Al Ijara Mountahia Bittamlik. The transaction, led by Khaled Saqqaf, partner and head of the Jordan and Iraq offices, and Alex Saleh, partner and head of the Kuwait office, marks the first ever issuance of an Islamic Sukuk in Jordan.
The transaction, which closed on the 1st of March, 2011, took place after the Jordanian Cabinet of Ministers approved a number of tax exemptions for the issuance of Islamic bonds for Al Rajhi Cement / Jordan PSC, a Shari'a compliant company, in October 2010. Al Tamimi & Company was mandated as lead counsel to Capital Investments – the investment arm of Capital Bank, and who acted as Lead Managers of the transaction. Our involvement included structuring, drafting, reviewing and implementing all transaction documentation, in addition to advising on law aspects and security options relevant to the transaction.
The transaction involved the creation of an SPV in the Cayman Islands, with the assistance of Cayman Law counsel, Walkers SPV Ltd, which issued the 7-year JD85,000,000 Sukuk Al-Ijara Muntahia Bittamilik variable rate semi-annual return due 2018, and which held and shall hold the same on trust for the Sukukholders. The Sukuk represents ownership of certain assets purchased by the Issuer from Al Rajhi, and leased back to it by way of a lease-to-own (Ijara Muntahia Bittamilik) pursuant to an Ijara agreement between both parties for a period of 7 years. These Ijara Rentals received from Al Rajhi pursuant to the Ijara Agreement shall be used by the Issuer (in his capacity as Trustee) to make periodic payments to the Sukukholders on each periodic distribution date.


Using statute books for studying and exams.
Many of you will have received a statute book as part of your module materials, depending on what you are studying. You may be wondering what to do with it! Statute books are permitted in the exams, but how should you work with them in preparation for the exam and during your studies?
You will see that the statute books contain the text of several statutes. The number of statutes will depend on which module you are studying; some legal subjects have more statute law than others.
The purpose of the statute book is to give you the precise text of a statute. In an exam, you can then have the precise text to hand, rather than trying to memorise it. Memorising a whole statute would be very difficult indeed, especially given that the exact words of a statute are crucial. When studying law, the important skill is to know where to find the law and what it means, rather than being able to remember long sections off by heart but not understand it.
During your studies, you should look up statutory provisions when the Module Guide makes a reference to them. Read the exact words carefully, and try to understand how different sections of the Act fit together and how the statute works overall.
When you are answering legal problem questions or self study questions/activities in the Guide, you should look up the relevant statutory provisions to make sure you are applying the law accurately and correctly. Use the statute book regularly so you are comfortable with its content.
Statutes might also be helpful when answering exam questions from past papers, to give you a reminder of important points. It will also help you to remember to use the statute book when sitting your exams.
You should make sure you are familiar with the main statutes and statutory provisions in your subject. Read them over many times to fully understand how they work. Pay attention to definitions sections, and to how the statute is structured.
During the exam, you should use the statute book so that the exact text of the law is in front of you. By using the statute book, you can easily cite the necessary precise legal authority which is essential to support your answer.
By the time of the exam, you should already be very familiar with the statutes and looking at the statute book should just jog your memory of specific points. This is not the time to be reading the statutes for the first time!
If you're not sure how to read and understand the different parts of a statute, you can consult a textbook for more information, for example "Studying Law" by Simon Askey and Ian McLeod, pages 144 – 153, or "Learning Legal Rules" by James Holland and Julian Webb, pages 70 – 77.
You may only underline and/or highlight text with a coloured pen in the statute book and any other permitted materials. You may highlight different text with different coloured pens. All other forms of personal annotation on statutes and other materials permitted to be taken into the examination room are strictly forbidden. You are forbidden to attach self-adhesive notelets or index tags or any other paper to the permitted materials.
Previous Post: Playing games in the Criminal Courts: the obligatory firm hand?
Next Post: Case report on the definition of dishonesty.
Yes you may use different colored pens/highlighters.
Actually. According to the statute books themselves issued by UOL and the exams regulations we are allowed to highlight and underline in the book. No writing or sticky notes etc though.
Very helpful indeed! Prior to reading this guidance I had little or no idea of how the statute book which is provided should be used both for studies and at exams. Now I am better informed.
Thank you so much Charlotte Crilly.
I just started using the statute book and you are correct. It does make sense when applied to the section reading and case law. It is overwhelming though….thanks for sharing this important information.
Thank You, dear Charlotte Crilly. It's worth of reading! I had a superficial and a minimum knowledge about how to use the statue books provided by the University authorities in the exam hall properly. Subsequent to reading, I have been able to sense the use of the statute books.
Now I underdstand the very usefulness of the statues how and why it should be used. Sincerely and thanks a lot to Esteem Charlotte Crille.
I do believe you are right , statutes books are really helpful as one can not memorise the whole statutes and also because the language used is very literall sometimes . Your telling us how to use statute books in exams is really kind and helpful .

Q: Does Javascript closure always retain scope variables? I understand that code in closure can access variables & methods & arguments up the scope chain,
but what happens if it doesn't use any of them ? do those variables still retained ?
Consider this case :
function f(){

  var a=[];
  for(var i=0;i<1000000;i++) a.push({});

  return function(){
     alert('Hi');
  };

}

var x = f();

Does variable a retained in memory even though the closure does not use it ?
Thanks
UPDATE:
Seems there's no answer about 'trivial' closures.
So is it fair to assume that each and every closure ( even if it does nothing at all ) may retain in memory all the methods up the scope chain including their arguments , variables and inner functions ( until the closure is garbage collected )?
Also, about the 'possibly duplicate' question about node.js  -  to my knowledge node.js runs only on a dedicated environment that based on google's v8 JS engine.  Here I'm talking about web-apps that will run in any modern browser ( in most cases )

A: When the interpreter chooses to free the memory it occupied is an implementation detail - there is no single javascript interpreter.
Note that it's not always possible for the interpreter to know the variable is unused:
function f() {
    var a = 123

    return function(x) {
        alert(eval(x));  // if there's an eval, we have to hold onto all local variables
    };

}

f()('a')

Experimenting in the chrome console
var e = eval

var f = function(){
    var a = 123;

    return function() {
        return eval('a');
    };
};

var g = function(){
    var a = 123;

    return function() {
        return e('a');
    };
};

f()()  // 123
g()()  // ReferenceError

It appears that V8 is making optimizations based on the present of eval

Why does everyone hate Yelp?
by Jack Lunch
— 23 Dec, 2014
Imagine, if you will, that you owned this newspaper. I know. Glamorous.
It's not enough, however, to own the finest newspaper in the Eastern Sierra. Because you are a visionary. You want to literally create a new brand of 21st century journalism.
So you engage very talented software engineers and you develop an algorithm to measure the reliability of information presented.
Literally, when your reporters submit stories to you, you run those stories through the algorithm, which will then make determinations as to what extent those people quoted in the story are being truthful.
The algorithm is so good it will actually remove quotes from stories when it determines those quoted are lying.
Your software is then adopted, to great fanfare, as the industry standard. This creates a renaissance in journalism, which suddenly boasts newfound credibility. Millions of new readers flock to print journalism because, unlike so many other mediums, they KNOW that what they're reading is the truth.
Likewise, money flows in as advertisers buy into the paradigm and you are more than happy to burnish the hype. Because not only is the truth good, but the truth sells.
But there's just one little problem.
What happens if the software isn't quite as effective as you say it is? What happens if your hype is misleading?
This is the quandary that the online review site Yelp finds itself in right now. And the reason we're talking about it in Mammoth is because a Mammoth-based restaurateur whipped Yelp in court this summer. Jim Demetriades, owner of Sierra Nevada Resort (which operates three restaurants: Rafters, Jimmy's Taverna, and Red Lantern), was granted an injunction by the Calfornia Court of Appeals. The injunction prevents "defendant Yelp, Inc. (Yelp), the operator of a popular online website that contains customer reviews of businesses, from making claims about the accuracy and efficacy of its 'filter' of unreliable or biased customer reviews."
The California Supreme Court has since denied Yelp's Petition for Review.
According to court documents, Demetriades instructed Jack Carter, then-manager of Rafters Restaurant, to obtain advertising on Yelp for Rafters in June, 2011.
"In purchasing advertising, plaintiff relied on Yelp's statements concerning its filter, but soon realized that Yelp's representations … were not accurate."
While Yelp promises in its advertising that "our engineers are working to make sure that whatever is up there is the most unbiased and accurate information you will be able to find about local businesses," Demetriades says "It was pretty clear there was something unusual happening … I'd see a positive review read by a greater number of people buried on the third page of review results while a creative, more flowery attack on the restaurant appeared on the first page."
"They intentionally keep the most salacious reviews," adds Demetriades. "Yelp loves contentiousness."
Court documents stated that of the 102 reviews Rafters received, 50 were filtered [out]."
Typically, Yelp filters out approximately 15 percent of a restaurant's reviews.
Over the past few weeks, The Sheet has crunched Yelp review numbers regarding several restaurants, including those owned by Demetriades.
Even now, the number of reviews of Rafters filtered out by Yelp (107 out of 245, or 44 percent) is almost double that of any other restaurant in town.
A restaurant's star rating is determined by the average of the accepted [unfiltered] reviews.
While Rafters currently has a three-star rating on Yelp, the 107 reviews rejected by the Yelp filter average 4.17 stars.
If these reviews were included in Rafters score, it would certainly improve its overall rating by at least a 1/2 star.
If you don't think this matters, a recent study published by the Harvard Business Review found that the difference of one star in an online review rating may affect gross revenue by anywhere from 5 to 9 percent.
What Yelp also does poorly relates to its inability to reflect changing conditions. The Sheet found several instances where a restaurant's rating was far below the average of the most recent scores it had received.
For example, Lakanuki has a current Yelp rating of 2.5 stars, but by date, the last 15 reviews average 3.8 stars. This could be because Owner Stu Need has not only overhauled his menu, but he also hired Chef Karl Dawson away from Lakefront Restaurant.
Nevertheless, Need's rating is bogged down by reviews like this: "$10 cover? Eat me."
How does a one-time nightclub cover charge not get filtered out of a restaurant review section?
"I don't find Yelp to be a legitimate review site," said Need. "We get knocked around because someone doesn't want to pay a cover, or someone loses a coat. This has nothing to do with the food. One review complained about food poisoning, but based upon the timing, clearly that food poisoning didn't occur at our restaurant. We just took the blame for it. And then it [the review] just sits on the site and you can't take it down."
"When you complain to Yelp, no rules apply except their own," chimes in Demetriades. "They just tell you to pound sand."
Another example of a restaurant whose recent improvement is not reflected by its rating. Campo: Yelp rating 3.0. Most recent 20 reviews average 3.55.
Among the restaurants most penalized by the Yelp filter is the Smokeyard, which has a Yelp rating of 3.5 stars. However, 75 reviews (or 23 percent of its total) filtered out and not factored into its score averaged 4.15 stars.
Petra's: Yelp rating 4 stars. Filtered reviews average 4.43 stars.
John's Pizza: Yelp rating 3.5 stars. Filtered reviews average 3.9 stars
Red Lantern: Yelp rating 3.5 stars. Filtered reviews average 4.2 stars.
Jimmy's Taverna: Yelp rating 4 stars. Filtered reviews average 4.44 stars.
On the other side of the ledger, Angel's Restaurant has a Yelp rating of 3.5 stars but the filtered reviews average just 2.6 stars.
Lakefront: Yelp rating 4 stars. Filtered reviews average 2.93 stars.
The Yelp mafia
More than one local business owner said that people have threatened to write poor reviews of their businesses unless they are comped part or even all of a meal.
As Kerry Mechler at the Mammoth Tavern explained, "We got a one-star review the other day because … we don't take reservations. We told the woman if she showed up at 6:45 or so, we could seat her party within 10 or 15 minutes. But she showed up, couldn't be immediately seated, and then threatened to Yelp us on her way out. She would have been seated within the promised time if she'd stayed."
"Yelp is for haters … at least a certain percentage," said Mechler. "And honestly, good or bad Yelp reviews are not going to affect our business."
Robbie Tani of Yamatani said that when one side dish was not delivered in a timely fashion, rather than accept the restaurant's apology and a comp for that dish, the person wanted the whole meal for free … or threatened a negative review.
"Yelp elite users have absolutely made financial demands upon us," said Demetriades. "Yelp has created a spoiled breed of clientele."
Another restaurant owner, who preferred to remain anonymous, said he was the leading restaurant in his food category … until he declined to advertise with Yelp. "I had been getting two or three reviews a week. Suddenly, I stopped getting any reviews and then six or seven of my best five-star reviews just disappeared from the site," he said.
Jen Venneman, former marketing manager at Convict Lake Resort, advised her superiors at the time to advertise on Yelp "so they could deal with their bad reviews." Not that the Restaurant at Convict Lake has many bad reviews. She just figured it would be easier to address what poor reviews there were if advertising dollars were flowing in Yelp's direction.
John Farber, who owns The Stove and Giovanni's Pizzeria, said, "I used to check Yelp every day and fret about it. Now I check it maybe every few weeks. I try not to dwell on any particular review. Instead, I try to focus on patterns … we have fixed things because of it. It's a love/hate relationship. It sucks, but it can be truthful."
As Michael Ledesma, owner of Gomez's and Base Camp Cafe, observed, "Trip Advisor is for grown-ups. Yelp is an adolescent way for people to vent. It caters to a younger audience and it doesn't have any controls. Over and over, I feel Yelp reviews lack credibility."
Ledesma and many of his peers (in fact, I didn't speak to one person who preferred Yelp to Trip Advisor) believe Trip Advisor is better review site and is committed to doing actual fact-checking, particularly when it comes to the hospitality industry.
As a result of his win at the Court of Appeals, Demetriades said, "We are the first company in history to be permitted to take Yelp to trial to contest the veracity of their filter.
"We can subpoena anything, and will have access to their source code and filtering software.
"We can also have access to internal emails … we can review all these things to assess whether there's been impropriety."
If there's anyone to look at the tech side of this, it is Demetriades. His former company SeeBeyond (before it was sold to Oracle) was rated as the world's #1 integration computer software company by the Gartner Group.
"There's no question there's liability," he said. "They fought us. You don't fight unless there's something to hide."
As more than 50 million businesses occupy a presence on Yelp according to ABC News, "the potential liability is gigantic," said Demetriades.

Cities appear and disappear only to reappear in the tableaux of Indian civilization. The historic city of Ahmedabad was founded in the surge of Islamic conquests that had swept through India. It was established in 1411 AD by a noble, Ahmed Shah, who had rebelled against his overlords in Delhi. The new rulers of Gujarat, keen on stablishing their superiority in the material realm, had undertaken a frenzied program of building activities in their new capital of Ahmedabad. Their model was the impressive Hindu architecture of the previous centuries which they wanted to outshine. The result, after one and a half centuries, was the 'Sultanate Architecture' of Ahmedabad, considered a high point of world architectural heritage. This architecture along with the Jain, Swaminarayan and Hindu temples of the city is a veritable safari of monumental architecture which attracts lovers of beauty from across the world to the city.
A treaty with the then rulers of western India, the Poona Peshwas, brought Ahmedabad under the British rule in 1817. The British were keen on annexing Ahmedabad because of "the commanding influence which the sovereignty over the city of Ahmedabad confers on its possessor in the estimation of the country at large." At the time of the British arrival, the medieval economy of Ahmedabad had hung on three threads: gold, silk, and cotton. The British rule of law helped flowering the strength of the Ahmedabad mahajans (trade guilds), and aided by the opium trade to China, by 1839 the town was "in a most flourishing condition and progressing rapidly." Modern textile technology further oiled the Gujarati virtues in 'reinventing' Ahmedabad. Its booming business in textiles had given Ahmedabad the status of 'Manchester of India' by the First World War.The success of modern textile industry in Ahmedabad is a puzzle for the business historian as the town was considered unsuitable for the industry.Some of these mills survived as late as 1989. The flourishing of textile industry in Ahmedabad may be viewed as the triumph of Gujarati virtues of pragmatism, innovation and creative collaboration. It was for this town that Mahatma Gandhi had felt a predilection after his return from South Africa in 1917, staying on in the town for thirteen years and directing the historically unheard of non-violent movement against colonial power in favour of self-determination for the Indian people. Their successes in textiles turned the 19th century Ahmedabad mahajans in to fine institution- builders; they played important role in creating institutions like PRL, IIM, NID, ATIRA and CEPT during the middle of the 20th century. The buildings of these institutions had attracted modern masters of world architecture like Louis Kahn and Le Corbusier to the city in the 1950s .Pharmaceuticals, Construction and Textiles are the main industries of Ahmedabad of today. The town contributes 14% of the total investments in all stock exchanges of India. The Municipal Corporation was formed in 1950 (present budget: 120 million $ US, area 191 sq km, population: 4.5 millions). Sardar Patel, a great comrade of Mahatma Gandhi and the architect of modern India, was once a mayor of Ahmedabad. Sardar's vision of Indian cities as heavens for Indian urban dwellers is the lodestar that directs the movement of this great city towards its future.

Canadian National Elections Study (CNES) Series
The Canadian National Elections Study (CNES) Series is a collection of national surveys produced in part by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC), the Canada Council, National Science Foundation, the Progressive Conservative Party of Canada, and Canadian Facts. Initiated in 1965, the CNES has continued through every election since. The 1980 CNES includes the Quebec Referendum Panel Study and the 1993 CNES incorporates the 1992 Referendum Survey on the Charlottetown Accord. Interviews were conducted before and/or after national elections and in some cases prior and post major voting issues such as the Quebec Referendum. The studies are based on stratified multistage cross-section samples of voting age citizens living in private residences. Sample sizes range from roughly 1,000 - 4,000 respondents interviewed face to face, over the phone, and/or via mailed questionnaires. Many questions are replicated across studies, although each has questions not asked in the others. The major substantive areas consistently covered in all studies include respondents'expectations about the outcome of the election, perceptions and evaluations of the major parties, candidates and leaders, and overall assessment of government performance. Other topics, such as the perceived importance of a particular election, the party identification, political history, and voting intentions of respondents, their interest in politics, and their political motivation are also investigated. In addition, respondent opinions were solicited on political issues such as campaign spending, constitutional reform, unemployment, inflation, taxes, education, environmental issues, Canada/United States relations and the proposed separation of Quebec from Canada.

The Aransas Pass Light Station on nearby St. Joseph's Island is a local landmark.
The Port Aransas Marina offers great protection and a ton of services for boaters.
The City of Port A has it all for boaters wishing to spend a little or a lot of time. The City of Port Aransas Marina is just a short distance in from the Gulf of Mexico with a well-protected floating dock reserved for transients. There are no swells inside the marina and it is largely protected from wind but not to the extent that it's too hot.
There are sightseeing and fishing charters to be had as well as a parasail boat that seems to get a lot of business. There are restaurants within walking distance from the marina. The city has a bus that runs regular loops around town and the drivers are friendly and informative. The bus can take you to the beach or to the IGA for provisions. There are several nature walks in the Port Aransas area, ask around.
The IGA in town is small but has quite a good selection and the meat, produce and liquor prices are GREAT!
The marina staff are friendly and you can buy ice during business hours. Credit cards are now accepted. Slips are available with water and electricity for boats up to 50 ft in length with some spots for larger boats. There are also fuel docks in the harbor.

Heating Ventilation & Air Conditioning (HVAC) maintenance for both residential and commercial homeowners in South & Central Florida is challenging due to several factors governing the health of a central air conditioning system: The unforgiving Summer climate, the age of the unit, and the ability or expertise of the HVAC contractor to correctly diagnose and fix broken air conditioning systems.
Temperatures in South & Central Florida exceed 98 degrees Fahrenheit on occasion putting extreme pressure on central AC's, especially when a home is not correctly sealed, or air leakage occurs. Older units, including Rheem, Trane and Goodman, while engineered extremely well, begin to show strain under these extremes which can lead to leaking systems, frozen systems or the most common reason for a HVAC service call: A central AC blowing warm air.
The pedigree of the HVAC contractor also plays a role in dealing with the first two issues. Incorrectly or inadequately trained service technicians may exacerbate the issue which leads to further call backs and additional issues with the air handler, compressor and drain lines, just to name a few.
However, more robust and streamlined HVAC operators have evolved to offer a range of annual preventive HVAC plans that help mitigate some of the issues described above. This allows a quicker response time for HVAC maintenance calls since the contract assigns the homeowner a priority position in the scheduling system. Further 10% discounts on HVAC repairs also give the customer financial assistance and ultimately combine to offer HVAC units a longer equipment life, improved efficiencies and lower utility bills. These benefits – wrapped up in a reliable HVAC maintenance plan – are a boon to homeowners in Florida who often ignore problems with their central AC until a major problem manifests itself.
The best in breed HVAC maintenance plans are designed to offer both strategic and tactical value, especially as homes evolve towards more complex configurations that are often term 'smart' homes. The HVAC service plans will target several areas inside and outside the home, including the air handler and compressor. HVAC inspection teams will carefully diagnose condenser coils, evaporator coils and blower assemblies for worn our parts or cracks in the system.
In addition to diagnosing and repairing the indoor and outdoor components (relevant to the particular HVAC maintenance plan), the contractor will run tests on the Air Duct Handling components to ensure its electrical assemblies are operating correctly. This includes checking voltage, amperage, refrigerant charges, airflow and condensation drains.
When these checks and HVAC diagnostics are done correctly, regularly and consistently under one-year or two-year maintenance plans, the homeowner can expect to cut his annual running costs by up to 10-20% per year.

The Story of Allen May, Forward Scout, Battle of Long Tan, 18th August 1966
Luck is a clear theme throughout Allen May's Life: the lottery of being called up for National Service, surviving the Battle of Long Tan, a wealth of lucky escapes, as well as fortunate wins.

- Lawrie Hallinan
"Congratulations on making Allen May's story available... the poignancy of the life of an ordinary man contending with, at times, unbearable circumstances, yet surviving and finding some peace with himself."
- Cheryl Emtage
