Central government draws flak for lack of security in riot-hit Muzaffarnagar
New Delhi/ Muzaffarnagar, Jan 8 (ANI): BJP leader Venkaiah Naidu has blamed the central government and the UP government for playing vote bank politics by keeping national security at stake.

Just The Facts, Ma'am, Said Detective Joe Friday. The Dragnet Cop Should Be Around Today…
Posted on August 13, 2016 by Hank Boerner
Share the post "Just The Facts, Ma'am, Said Detective Joe Friday. The Dragnet Cop Should Be Around Today…"
by Hank Boerner – August 11, 2016
The brilliant presidential advisors and later, U.S. Senator from New York, Daniel Patrick Moynihan, said it best: Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but not their own facts."
As I watch the current presidential campaign, the good Senator's comments come to mind. So do the comments of Detective Sergeant Joe Friday on Dragnet (radio and TV) about "facts." ("Just the facts, ma'am," he would say.)
Too often, it seems, facts and fiction became intertwined and inseparable in the running commentary of the 2016 presidential election.
Let's look at some economic facts in the hope that he American voting public can be better informed when watching the television news reports or attending a political rally.
Let's start with these exciting facts for investors: Today as I write this (August 11) the three major stock market indexes all reached all-time highs, simultaneously. The last time that happened was 1999 – 17 years ago.
Today the most followed market stock market indexes stand at:
Dow Jones Industrial: 18,613
S&P 500: 2,185
NASDAQ: 5,228
Where were we on January 20, 2009, as the new president was being sworn in? (Recall that was the time of the financial markets meltdown and investment portfolios were heading to 40% losses.)
Dow Jones Industrial: 7,949
S&P 500: 805
This week's market news is pretty encouraging for 401-k and IRA owners, eh?
Let's look briefly at national unemployment rates:
July 2016: 4.9 per cent
January 2009: 7.8% (would rise to 9.9% by December)
The web platform Politifact (published by the Tampa Bay Times in Florida) provided a scoreboard of the economy under President Barack Obama in June 2012 as he neared the end of his first term.
Fact: Overall inflation was 4.3% in 2008 / "Zero" was at in 2009
In the months leading up to the start of the Obama Presidency in January 2009, layoffs were peaking and the number of jobs lost — according to the U.S. Department of Labor — exceeded an estimated 7 million jobs…going, going gone as the Great Recession took the national economy into the abyss.
In December 2008 the U.S. Department of Labor described the situation this way: "…unemployment rose to 7.2% (from 6.8% the prior month); employment [fell that month] by 524,000; 1.9 million jobs were lost in the last four months of 2008; job losses were large and widespread across major industry sectors."
There were 2.6 million jobs lost just in the year 2008 alone (fact source is CNN Money). The job losses in the U.S.A. were astronomical as the stock market cratered in 2008 and into 2009.
Consider: In September 2008: some 400,000-plus jobs were gone. In November 2008: 800,000 jobs lost. Layoffs continued into 2009, into the early months of the new administration in Washington (April 2009: almost 700,000 jobs disappeared).
Think of the ripple effect — if one industrial job was lost, economists' rule of thumb was that three or four or more other jobs were disappearing, too.
The Center on Budget and Policy Priorities reported on August 10, 2016: Employers have added nearly 200,000 jobs each month since early 2010. (Remember: early in 2009 Congress passed the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.)
After going deep into non-growth GDP territory in 2008, 2009 and toward 2010, we moved back into positive growth in 2010 and pretty much stayed there until today.
Check out the interesting charts at: http://www.cbpp.org/research/economy/chart-book-the-legacy-of-the-great-recession.
Last month — July 2016 — the country added 255,000 jobs.
Whether you believe the White House records or not, in March 2016 that was the source for this set of data: The private sector had added 14.4 million jobs over 73 straight months of job growth.
There was not all good news of course, and you can check out the full report with its data and charts here: https://www.whitehouse.gov/blog/2016/04/01/employment-situation-march
Look at the job gains as reported by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Department of Labor this year (2016) alone:
January:168,000
February: 233,00
March: 186,000
April: 144,000
May: 234,000
June almost 300,000
July: 255,000
And let's not remove from our memory the preservation of an important industry employing hundreds of thousands of men and women in this country: vehicle manufacturing and marketing. Politifact noted (September 2012) that employment for car makers and their suppliers was up 250,000 jobs from 2009, with sales rising for Ford (13%), Chrysler (14%) and General Motors (10%) in 2011.
That's a long way from 2008: GM out of cash to pay bills, Chrysler reeling as well; Ford in better shape financially having mortgaged literally all of its assets just before the financial meltdown on Wall Street. (The New York Times, November 27, 2006 — USD$19 billion as factories, equipment, offices, patents, trademarks, ownership in Volvo and other businesses were mortgaged.)
The rescue of the auto industry began under the presidency of George W. Bush, using TARP funds in his last months in office (fact), and continued under the presidency of Barack Obama. The heart of U.S. industrial power, the auto & truck manufacturing industry, was rescued by the Federal government with U.S. taxpayer money — which has been paid back for the most part. And jobs were protected.
"Make America Great Again," the apparently trademarked slogan for the 2016 campaign (should we put a "TM" or "patent pending" or "R" here?), does have a certain resonance. In economic reality terms, however, it does not reflect the true condition of the economy after eight years of the current occupant of the White House. (He-whose-name-may-not-be-mentioned-in-certain-circles. OK, it's Barack Obama.)
We as voters are entitled to the facts – -not fear mongering, not the offering up of misleading "facts" or the rhetoric of provocateurs. Having facts we can make better informed decisions as part of our civic responsibility — that is, when we enter the voting booth.
This probably comes across as a partisan commentary, favoring one side or the other. My intention is to present facts — the word descending down to our time from the ancient Latin, meaning "…the thing that is done, the thing known to be true…" vs. factitious, descending as well from Latin "…imagined, made up, artificial, not real or genuine…"
As fictional detective Joe Friday used to say on the popular television series "Dragnet": "…just the facts, ma'am, just the facts…"
Or in the expression of this era…just sayin'.

White House – Executive Orders – Another Way to Get Things Done
Share the post "White House – Executive Orders – Another Way to Get Things Done"
So — House of Representatives Speaker John Boehner does not like the flow of Executive Orders coming out of the Obama White House. And he intends to sue the President. As Speaker Boehner criticizes our chief executive officer, the Executive Orders continue to flow. The most recent EO focus: a new effort to address the nation's immigration system,,,on his own, without congressional action.
Speaker Boehner would definitely not like to have been around when another high-profile elected Republican lived at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue — 100 years later to still be considered a "Master of EOs" — that was President Theodore Roosevelt, our 26th President.
"TR" is acknowledged as the chief executive officer who created the modern presidency. Characteristics that have described the man: active, energetic, extremely smart, both populist-and-conservative, outdoorsman, conservationist, big game hunger, cowboy, Eastern establishment, author, soldier, statesman, scholar, Nobel Peace prize winner, Harvard dandy…and more. That was our Teddy. (Yes, the Teddy Bear is named for him.)
President Roosevelt in his time faced a Congress that was at times hostile to his ideas, and often "absent" from the Capitol. In the early 1900s, members of the House were elected in November and took office in January; the President was elected in November and sworn in early in March. (The direct election of member of the US Senate would come with the 18th Amendment after TR left office.) So the US Congress could meet and then go home before the new president even arrived on the scene.
The Republican leadership was not always pleased to have their Teddy down the street in the White House. TR was kicked upstairs by leaders of his own party to the vice presidency to get him out of the way, and then President William McKinley, Jr. was assassinated, and as fellow Republican US Senator Mark Hannah famously said in 1901: "Now look. That damned cowboy is President of the United States!"
One of issues that the President had was that as TR won election to his full term as President in 1904, he announced that he would not run for a third term, following the tradition all the way back to the precedent set by President George Washington. And so, he became "lame duck" as he set out in his second term; often the Congress could ignore him (and both Republicans and Democrats often did).
But Teddy would not be ignored! He issued 1,081 Executive Orders during his 2,728 days in the White House – an average of an EO issued very two-and-one-half days in office! Dozens were EOs that affect us even today, a century later.
Teddy lived by a code. In 1886, long before the White House years, he observed: "It is not what we have that will make us a great nation. It is the way in which we use it." Speaking of being a "conservative," he said: " The only true conservative is the man who resolutely sets his face toward the future." One of the great essays of President Roosevelt was his "Man in the Arena," as he observed: It is the man in the arena who should be praised, the man who is out there, fighting the big battles, even if the battles end in defeat. Glory comes to those who "spend themselves in a worthy cause…" Like trying to get things done when occupying the highest elected office in the land.
I think he might have a harder time today (than back in his day) dealing with the political gridlock in our capital city, and with the great philosophical divisions in our society. But he would not duck the good fight – he would be right there in the arena of public opinion, fighting the good fight.
As the great outdoorsman TR worried that the vast frontiers were disappearing in the expansion of the United States of America, he took his pen and signed off on many EOs to single-handedly create national parks, game refuges, national bird sanctuaries, and the National Forest Service. It would be several years after he left office that the present-day National Park Service would be created by the Congress (August 1916, signed into law by President Woodrow Wilson).
Other Presidents – and Their EOs
While TR was an exception in his day, other presidents have used the approach to make things happen. Executive Orders are official documents through which the President of the United States of America manages the operations of the Federal Government. All modern era presidents used them.
According to the official National Archives web site, President Barack Obama has issued 175 orders since 2009, with the record showing: 39 EOs signed in 2009; 35 EOs in 2010; 34 EOs in 2011; 39 EOs in 2012; 20 EOs in 2013; and 8 EOs in 2014 as of today's Federal Register accounting.
Today, the President said he would take action on his own, without Congress, "…to fix as much of our immigration system as I can…" He directed his team to recommend steps he can take this summer and then he would act on those steps "without delay."
Expect more EOs to be coming out of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. And more howls from up the street on Capitol Hill.
While considering this course of action – we can ask — is President Obama "unusual" in taking such steps? Well…no.
Consider the recent record:
George W. Bush – over 8 years / two terms – issued 291 Executive Orders in his 2,922 days in office
William Clinton – 8 years – 364 EOs over 2,922 days in office
George HW Bush – 4 years – 169 EOs over 1,461 days in office
Ronald Reagan – 8 years – 381 EOs over 2,922 days in office
Richard Nixon – although not serving out his full second term ("Watergate" intervened), he signed off on 346 Executive Orders – that was almost one every few days during his two terms.
(Note source: Per PBS – Nightly News Hour compilation)
The point is – our CEOs are expected to get things done when elected, first or second term, whether lame duck or just starting out. The Executive Order is a powerful tool of the office. As TR demonstrated for his successors down to today, when Congress can't or won't act — the modern day President can and will.
Stay Tuned — this summer and on into the counting days of the Obama Administration we will be seeing more EOs coming. And some will be cheered / others jeered. And the talking heads of cable TV, the prominent Chattering Class, will have lots of material to work with!

Digital games in the twenty-first century have made life simpler for gamers. PlayerAuctions has the hippest games for digital download. Our prices are low, and our buyers and sellers are gamers. Grab some digital games with us!
Gone are the days when gamers need to have a physical copy of their games. Nowadays, all they need is to buy game keys, or "digital downloads", and they're good to go. And it's not difficult to find these game keys, as there is a wide plethora of sites and players that sell them. The problem, however, is that a lot of them are not legitimate, as they give out fake game keys, or those that don't work properly. Thankfully, PlayerAuctions verifies its digital download keys. And our sellers are not only reputable, but diverse. And because of that diversity, our game keys selection has become a rich repertoire of titles from different genres.
Counter Strike: Global Offensive – more popularly known as CSGO, this reiteration of what was once a Half-Life mod set in contemporary terrorist-versus-military milieu has become one of the most popular eSports around. With realistic guns, simple but solid and highly replayable gameplay, and an exciting scene, CSGO is definitely one classic FPS that's worth playing.
Overwatch – one of the hottest games in the current scene, this class-based shooter with MOBA elements has become a smash hit, thanks to Blizzard's marketing genius and expertise in creating a fantastic gaming experience. With its amazing world-building – from the art style to the sci-fi backdrop –despite having no campaign mode, highly diverse heroes with their own unique play style, and emphasis on team play, this game definitely deserves the hype it's getting.
Bioshock – a compelling sci-fi shooter franchise with a lot of RPG features, Bioshock is a series gamers, especially those who are looking for a good story and a rich gaming experience, will absolutely delight in. Bioshock 1 and 2 are centered on the city of Rapture and the conspiracies behind it, while the third installment, Bioshock Infinite, is set in an alternate reality steampunk 1912, and is centered on Booker DeWitt, who was tasked to rescue Elizabeth, a mysterious woman that has the power to open tears in the time-space continuum. With excellent writing and innovative gameplay, Bioshock is a must-try.
These are only a few of our games – our collection is vast. And we have game keys for all popular consoles in the market – no matter if it's PC game keys, codes for PS4 digital games, or digital downloads for Xbox and Mac. Who knows? Maybe you'll find what you're looking for, or something you're not looking for but might actually like.
We take pride in being one safest player-to-player online trading sites there is, because we make sure that both our buyers and sellers can make secure and convenient deals. To ensure that our buyers' personal info and money are safe, we have put our PlayerGuardian system in place. And to make our sellers are accountable, we have a PowerSeller system that shows our sellers' online reputation. Lastly, in case you encounter a problem with our sellers or our services, we have 24/7 live customer support that will assist you with any issues you encounter.
Want some cheap game keys?
One edge digital downloads have over a physical copy is that you can't lose them, unless the platform takes it off your account, which is something they would only do in special cases. Because unlike the physical copies, digital downloads can be downloaded again from the store, allowing you to download them on every device that can support it. Another good reason to go for digital copies is because some, if not a lot of them already come with DLCs, which stands for downloadable content, extra features that are not found in the base version of the game.
And just like physical copies, digital downloads and game keys can also be traded, or at the very least be gifted to someone. Take, for example, Steam, a game platform that not only sells games, but also allows users to give some games as a gift. This, however, is a one-time transfer; a game that was once gifted can never be sent as a gift again.
There are many places where you can buy cheap game keys online, obviously. You could buy it directly from the developer's/publisher's site, or at a cheaper price from another player. There are many of potential places to buy online, but a lot of them are unsafe. Thankfully, there's always PlayerAuctions. With us, you can buy digital downloads of different games. We are a platform that allows your fellow players to trade with you; what we do is provide buyers like you a place online where you can transact safely and conveniently.
We understand how important money and security of personal info is for our buyers, so we have a PlayerGuardian system in place in order to assure everyone that they'll get what they bought without any risks of info leaks. And to further protect everyone, we have a PowerSeller system, which allows our buyers to check our sellers' online reputation, allowing them to see which of our sellers should they transact with. Lastly, for our buyers and sellers who encounter a problem with our site, services, or products we have a 24/7 Customer Support team that is dedicated to helping our clients in every way they can.
Everybody and everything's going digital in this day and age. You should too. And we here at PlayerAuctions can help you with that.

Sacked guards get over half of Makati City's P24.9-M payment to security agency
The Commission on Audit affirms its decision ordering Makati City to pay P24.9 million to Triforce Services Incorporated

MANILA, Philippines – A group of illegally dismissed security guards got more than half of the P24.93 million that their former employer has collected from the Makati City government for unpaid services in 2015.
The security guards got P13.2 million of the amount paid to their former employer, Triforce Services Incorporated, after the Commission on Audit (COA) affirmed with finality its March 21, 2019 decision ordering Makati City to pay P24.93 million to the security agency for its services from June to December 2015.
The COA Commission Proper had ruled that Triforce deserved rightful compensation for its services.
Following the 2019 COA decision, a group of security guards filed a petition to intervene before the COA, saying they deserved to get part of the compensation since they were not paid for their services to the Makati government during the period.
The COA said it lacked jurisdiction and referred the group to the National Labor Relations Commission (NLRC). While the security guards filed an appeal before COA in May 2019, they also filed a claim with the NLRC.
The COA reiterated its decision on January 28, 2020, in response to an appeal filed by the security guards on May 20, 2019.
The security guards, however, still managed to get paid as the NLRC – which later ruled in their favor – garnished the amount due to Triforce pending the resolution of the labor case.
In its letter of request to COA seeking the issuance of a Notice of Finality of the decision on its claim with Makati City, Triforce informed COA that the city government had released the payment for the security guards.
With the release of the P13.2 million to the security guards, COA chairman Michael Aguinaldo and Commissioners Jose Fabia and Roland Pondoc ruled that the petition has become moot, and that Triforce could collect the balance of its payment from the Makati government. – Rappler.com

Большая синагога Асмэры (; ; ) — синагога в городе Асмэра, столице Эритреи.

История
Первые евреи прибыли в Эритрею в конце 19 века. В основном они были выходцами из еврейской общины Адена. По переписи, проведенной в Эритрее на 1 января 1905 года, в Эритрее проживало 120 евреев, 83 из них в городе Асмэра. Большая синагога была построена еврейской общиной Асмэры в 1906 году. Она расположена на Харнет авеню в центре города и являлась местом сбора еврейской общины.
В 1948 году, после того как было создано государство Израиль, начался постепенный процесс эмиграции еврейского населения из Эритреи. Однако 1950-х годах в Эритрее всё ещё проживали 500 евреев. Синагога также обслуживала евреев, которые приезжали со всей Африки, чтобы отмечать там «грозные дни» (10 дней между Рош ха-Шана и Йом-кипуром).  В это время при синагоге была основана учительская семинария.
В 1961 году началась Эритрейская война за независимость против Эфиопии. Именно тогда евреи начали массово покидать Эритрею. В начале 1970-х годов еврейская эмиграция увеличилась. В 1975 году главный раввин и большая часть общины были эвакуированы. К тому времени в стране осталось всего 150 евреев.
Эритрея официально обрела независимость в 1993 году, к этому времени почти все местные евреи либо умерли, либо эмигрировали. На 2006 год уроженец Асмэры бизнесмен Самуэль Коэн присматривал за зданием синагоги. Ещё несколько евреев, не являющихся коренными жителями, также посещают синагогу.

Иудаизм не входит в число четырёх религий, признанных правительством Эритреи. Несмотря на это, правительство никогда не ограничивало еврейскую свободу вероисповедания.

Описание
Кроме главного святилища, вмещающего до 200 человек, имеются учебные классы семинарии и небольшое еврейское кладбище.

Palliative care services often have volunteers as part of the team. Volunteering or 'helping out' can take many forms. Volunteers work with health professionals and community organisations. They may contribute a range of skills. They provide help or companionship in very practical ways. This could be in hospices, in aged care facilities, or in the home. They can provide help to patients, carers and family members. This can include a range of tasks such as shopping trips, or help with getting to appointments. They can also provide a friendly ear, or make a cup of tea or coffee. Volunteers do not replace a paid worker, but volunteers play an important role in palliative care working alongside health professionals.
Volunteering Australia provides a Definition of Volunteering in Australia.
Volunteer Managers use screening and selection processes to guide them in selecting volunteers. Volunteers with appropriate skills and motivation will work in different parts of the palliative care program.
Some volunteers will be new to palliative care and others will have been involved for some time, if not years. This means that the information you require will be different, depending upon your experience and level of involvement.
If you want to know more about the specific diseases that people receiving palliative care may have, there is information on disease-specific resources in the Finding Services section of the CareSearch website. This includes the various cancers, lung / kidney / heart disease, dementia, and MND.
Plans and decisions and preparing for the end.
There is also a series of resources that has been compiled based around topics relevant to patients and their carers.
You can find online learning modules (free) that are for volunteers and you may be interested in a short online video that highlights some important issues for volunteers.
Palliative Care NSW Volunteer Support Services Programme have a website with information for palliative care volunteers. They also provide 'Palliare: A Handbook for Palliative Care Volunteers in NSW', which offers background and practical guidance for people who volunteer in Palliative Care settings. The information is specific to NSW but will be of interest to Hospice and Palliative Care volunteers everywhere.
Palliative Care Victoria have a section on their website for Palliative Care Volunteers, which includes volunteer stories.
A CareSearch video of Volunteers: Palliative care volunteers speak about their role in a hospice.

Audi E-Tron General Discussion Forum
Range Testing the Audi E-Tron Motor Trend
Motor Trend recently tested the e-tron's range to see how it compares to its EPA estimate and to Tesla.
Here's what they wrote. https://www.motortrend.com/news/audi-e-tron-electric-suv-range-testing/
The Teslarati have gone unchallenged for years now, but have no fear, the Germans are finally here. From the Volkswagen Group, the first assault is two-pronged: Porsche with the Model S-fighting Taycan and Audi with its E-Tron SUV.
The folks with the four rings have earned some well-justified criticism in the range department. EPA testing for the E-Tron reported just 204 miles of range per charge—significantly less than the Jaguar I-Pace (234 miles) and Tesla Model X Long Range (325 miles). Audi compensates with the ability to charge at a rate of 150 kW, besting the Jag but not quite matching the Tesla's 200-kW maximum charging speed.
But we don't want to just take their word for it on all this, do we? Of course not! Audi was kind enough to toss us the keys to an E-Tron for a week out in the desert, where we were able to test the new electric SUV's range and charging abilities. Here's what we found.
Our procedures began with highway testing on the 7.5-mile oval at the Honda Proving Center in Cantil, California. With a full charge, we hit the road.
But first, what's a full charge in an Audi E-Tron? Well, its battery pack is rated at 95 kW-hr, but the electronics only allow you to consume 83.6 kW-hr to protect the longevity of the drivetrain. A kilowatt-hour (kW-hr) is a unit of potential energy, and there are 33.7 kW-hr per gallon of gasoline, though keep in mind that in an electric car, a much greater percentage of that energy actually reaches the road. For the E-Tron to achieve its 204-mile range figure, it would have to achieve an efficiency of over 2.4 miles per kW-hr, given that 83.6 kW-hr * 2.4 mi/kW-hr = 200.6 miles.
Around the oval track, with the air conditioning set at 70 degrees and an ambient temperature of 105, here's what we got: 2.1 mi/kW-hr at 65 mph, 2.0 mi/kW-hr at 70 mph, 1.9 mi/kW-hr at 75 mph, and 1.8 mi/kW-hr at 80 mph. If we extrapolate those numbers to calculate total range, even running at 65 mph the E-Tron would tap out after just 176 miles (83.6 kW-hr * 2.1 mi/kW-hr = 175.6 miles), significantly short of the 204-mile EPA estimate.
There are reasons that explain why our testing on the highway loop reported lower numbers. First, this was purely a test of highway driving. Electric cars are less efficient at higher speeds due to increased aerodynamic drag, which explains why the efficiency figure dropped as our rate of travel increased. Plus, because this was steady-state driving with very little acceleration or deceleration, the E-Tron wasn't able to recover any energy through the braking system to extend its range. EPA range testing is performed on a mix of city and highway roads. When we add to the equation that our test car was running heavier-than-standard 21-inch wheels (the EPA test vehicle rode on 20-inchers) and operating in 105-degree heat, our numbers make a lot more sense.
(For the record, an Audi representative told us that in their own testing, the only situations in which the E-Tron returned efficiency and range figures significantly lower than EPA estimates were when it was being driven uphill, dynamically, or in the cold.)
With about 5 percent charge left, a "turtle" mode kicked in, limiting available power output more and more as our state of charge decreased. After limping to the charger and plugging in, we discovered an aspect of the charging experience that could be a huge turn-off for potential owners.
The car can get real hot.
There's a function called Auxiliary Air Conditioning, which offers up to 30 minutes of standard air conditioning while charging, but it's not available if the car's at anything less than a 25 percent state of charge. So if you're taking a summer road trip in your E-Tron and depleting the battery fully, don't plan on sitting in the car while you fill up on electrons. This is an especially rude hit as Tesla introduces Netflix, Hulu, and YouTube functionality to keep owners entertained as their cars are charging—and doing so in air-conditioned comfort from any state of charge.
Charging its battery on the 50-kW charger at the Honda Proving Center, the E-Tron is nothing special. For those not fully briefed on EV technojargon, the 50-kW rating refers to the rate at which the charging station will charge the battery. I find it helpful to think of a 50-kW charger as charging at "50 kilowatt-hours per hour" (the units cancel out) because it's easier to equate to the "gallons per minute" flow rate at a typical gas station.
The big draw (get it?) for the E-Tron is its capability to charge at a rate of up to 150 kW, which Audi says can restore 163 miles of range in just half an hour. Problem is, there aren't too many 150-kW non-Tesla public chargers around; our closest station was over 100 miles away in Baker, California. Time for a little road trip.
Quest For Electrons
Not only would the trip out to Baker afford us the opportunity to test Audi's 150-kW charging claims, but it would also give us a chance to get an idea of the E-Tron's range in the real world. The roads between Cantil and Baker are mostly highways, sure, but there would be more acceleration and braking involved, and our average speed was likely to be a little lower. More on that in a moment.
When we arrived at the station in Baker, we were greeted by—get this—another E-Tron. It was parked at a 100-kW station, so we plugged in at the 350-kW charger, which, hopefully, would give us an idea of whether this car can charge at 150 kW. Upon plugging in, we saw a charge rate of 137 kW. Hooray!
Unfortunately, that was only sustained for about three minutes, after which the power quickly dropped below 100 kW and then down to 59 kW. It was at this moment that the Audi employee who happened to be driving the other E-Tron chimed in, telling us that it seemed the power station itself had been compromised that day based on his experiences over 8,000 miles of testing.
What about Mercedes' electric SUV? Learn about the EQC here.
Out of curiosity, we switched to a 100-kW plug to see if things would be any different. We saw a consistent 81 kW—oddly, more than we got from the 350-kW charger. Back to the 350-kW station for a second chance, we initially saw 147 kW, proving that the E-Tron is capable of charging at or near 150 kW, but after just two minutes this time, output dropped to 45 kW. Although charging rates reduce as a battery fills up, cross-referencing our results with the E-Tron's Audi-supplied charging curve made it obvious that the station was unwell.
Once we got back to Cantil, it was time to crunch numbers. Our real-world highway journey covered a total of 306.7 miles averaging 48 mph, again with the climate control set at 70 degrees and some usage of the E-Tron's massaging front seat. We averaged an efficiency of 2.2 mi/kW-hr, equating to 183.9 miles of range, which, again, is within the noise of what Audi claims given our tester's larger, heavier wheels and that our testing was mostly at highway speeds.
Our Conclusions
So what have we learned in class today? First, the public fast-charging infrastructure still needs work. Yes, the E-Tron can charge at 150 kW, but because those stations are relatively limited and not entirely reliable, it's not exactly practical to seek them out or consider them in purchasing decisions at this point. Right now, the most common 50-kW chargers take roughly 1 hour and 45 minutes to fully charge the Audi electric.
Second, we have no reason to doubt the EPA's 204-mile range figure for the E-Tron. That figure is still short of the estimates for the Tesla Model X and Jaguar I-Pace, but the Audi is a much more usable car than either of them. Unlike the Jaguar, it has a legitimately spacious back seat. Because of the Tesla's silly falcon-wing doors, you can't put a roof rack on top like you could with the Audi. And let's not forget, Audi's technoluxe interior design might be the best in the industry.
Should Tesla be worried? Yes, but maybe not quaking in its boots. The E-Tron has no learning curve, no barrier to entry. It's just a proper luxury SUV that happens to be a good—not quite great—electric vehicle, and that's OK.

Custom Deck Installation and Deck Rebuild by Sunrise Roofing & Chimney.
Sunrise Roofing & Chimney performs custom deck installation and deck repairs. If you need a custom deck built or installaed, we begin with a free home inspection. This helps us determine what size deck is the best option. Deck installation is our specialty. We are committed to providing the highest quality deck installation on Long Island.
We offer deck inspections free of charge. If it is more cost efficient to building a new deck rather than have the entire system redone we will be the first to let you know! Our expert installers provide gutter services to residents of both Nassau and Suffolk County.
In addition to the installation of decks we also offer custom builds. We can design and build anything from front porches, swimming pool decks to patios and deck railings.
What material can my deck be made of?
Decks can be made from a large selection of materials. Some of the most common choices for decks are pressure treated pine, tropical hardwoods, and composite decking. The most popular choice for decks is pressure treated pine. It is usually the least expensive option for decks but still provides a nice look. Another option for your deck are tropical hardwoods such as Ipe, Tigerwood, Cumaru, and Cambara. These are more durable than pressure treated pine and many people find them to be most aesthetically pleasing. The other frequent choice is composite decking. Composite decking is made from a combination of plastic and wood fibers and will not splinter. If you are interested in other decking materials not discussed above, let us know and we'll be happy to provide you with more information.
How much does it cost to install a deck?
The price to install a deck depends on the square footage and materials used. It also depends on if you would like any added features such as a railing along the outside. We will be able to provide you with a price during your FREE ESTIMATE.
Will I need to get a permit to have a deck installed?
Most towns require homeowners to get a permit before having a deck installed. It is best to check with your town to find out the regulations as each town is different.
What can I do to maintain my deck?
We offer a 30 year guarantee on deck installation. Our guarantee covers all materials and labor.
Call Sunrise Roofing & Chimney at (631) 657-5059 or fill out our contact form here and one of our deck contractors will contact you as soon as possible!


I've learned something about myself in the last week. Or maybe I've re-learned it. It's one of those things I already knew, but sometimes manage to sweep into a shadowy corner. I am a perfectionist and control freak. I know 'perfectionist' is one of those things you're meant to be able to say at job interviews as an example of a negative-that's-really-a-positive. You know, "Oh I just pay such attention to minute details and need everything to be perfect. It's such a burden! *mock sigh*" But, without trivialising mental health issues, it really can feel like a disorder when it becomes obsessive and consuming, as it does for me from time to time.
I tend to research everything to the extreme. From high intensity training and child birth to travel and party planning, I over-read and over-think. I create dossiers and Pinterest boards and wake up in the night with ideas.
The event that has brought my own desire for control over the minutest of details out of the shadows this time is putting our house on the market. While we've been thinking about the possibility for a while, last Wednesday we met with real estate agents. Thursday we signed the paperwork. Monday the house was photographed. Wednesday we received the marketing proofs. Thursday the house went on the market. Sunday the house will be open.
Never mind that it's school holidays and I am home hanging out with my 4 year old and 6 year old while also preparing for a new school year in a new role, and trying to get various academic writing projects moved along their pipelines. Never mind all that. The house must look perfect.
I have decluttered to the point that our double garage now only fits one car. I have planted and mulched and watered the garden. I have fixed and hired tradies and made my husband lists of jobs. He visibly rolled his eyes when I was changing every lightbulb and cleaning every light fitting. I don't even think he knows that I bought new fluffy white towels for photos and home opens. He probably hasn't noticed my artful re-arranging of what we own. He does know I went to a wholesale flower market to buy flowers to arrange around the house. That I borrowed some lovely wall art from our friend at Frank Prints. That I've emptied and organised every cupboard in the house. That I re-wrote the real estate copy for the agent. And that I was disappointed at tiny things about the professional photos (leaving cords from the back of the tv uncropped and in the frame; the photographer's bag visible down the hallway; no pics of the internal courtyard). None of these are things that will stop a buyer from coming to a home open or potentially buying the house, but they are things that have been on my mind and the whole process of preparing to sell has kicked off a little internal obsessive insomnia-inducing twitch.
This in the same fortnight that I have failed to meet my own weekly blogging deadline. (My perfectionism does know bounds. I can't sustain it in all areas of my life or at all times.) For most of last year, I posted a blog every Friday. This year, since the first of the month, I haven't blogged. Partly, what has been on my mind is hanging out with my kids before the summer break ends, and getting the house ready for sale, not things the internet probably wants to know about (yet here I am writing about them). I also figured that my oneword for 2017—nourish—allows me to take a break from blogging deadlines in the name of self-preservation. But here I am, back to my Friday posting.
Also this week I was on a leadership retreat during which I had a refresher on the HBDI (Hermann Brain Dominance Instrument) that encourages self and team reflection on preferences of ways of working, thinking and relating to others and to problems. I was reminded of my love for details and my tendency to be excruciatingly clinical and heavily researched about everything. Just what I've been doing with my house. It was a good reminder to be mindful of letting go, for the sake of myself and others.
Tying myself in knots about the need for something to be perfect (an academic paper, a report to the school board, a presentation slide deck, a lesson, some performance review documentation) isn't helpful. I need to be able to let go and be ok with good-but-not-exactly-how-I-envisaged-it. The only time I felt ok about this kind of obsession was with my PhD thesis; that seems an appropriate thing to obsess over so I was able to immerse myself in it guilt and shame free.
So I am going to try to be mindful of letting go of holding onto unrealistic expectations or obsessing over the minutest of details. I'm going to try to celebrate the benefits of caring about precision (because it does have perks!) while giving myself permission to be ok with a level of disarray.
This post, which could also be titled 'remembering my 1990s feminist self' is a re-emergence of some thinking I did a long time ago in my early years at university. After leaving school, I completed a Fine Art degree, followed by an Honours year. I'm writing this post as a way into self-inquiry, a way to write myself towards my hunch that my early days as a feminist-textile-artist-writer have underscored my more recent PhD work and academic writing. Big thanks to Katie Collins whose wonderful blog post on subversive material metaphors in academic writing sparked my thinking.
I was a painter from a young age, thanks to my artist mother, but I chose to study textiles as a major in my undergraduate Fine Art degree, rather than painting. This choice was due to the meanings inherent in textile materials, processes and products. A textile artist can weave in metal or print on latex. They can make work in the blacksmith forge or the sculpture studio. They can work with cardboard or furniture or paint or dye or thread or canvas or wire or plastic or found objects. The visceral and sensory experience of working with materials is central to the artistic process.
The materials a textile artist chooses, and the scale at which they magnify or miniaturise those materials, are deliberate meaning-making choices. The artist can choose needlework and hand-dying, or industrial Warhol-esque mass printing. They can applique or cut away. They can build or melt. They can assemble or destroy. They can stitch or slice. They can focus on the macro or the micro, staggering their viewer with enormous size or encouraging the viewer to come in, up close and personal.
Textiles is personal and political. It is also a subversive arena for artists, and often a feminist one. It pushes or rails against the stratification of 'Art', which has often meant the dichotomising of cerebral, thinking highbrow Art (upper-case 'A', often seen as done by men), and functional or decorative art (lower-case 'a', often associated with women and femininity). Historically, women were objects of art: she the body to be gazed at and sculpted. Or objects of art were personified as women: she the landscape to be scrutinised and painted.
The art historical devaluing of textiles pivots on its early treatment by critics, galleries and institutions. Aesthetic disciplines depend on recognised 'powers that be' to promote and uphold them. Early galleries and history books excluded textiles. Unlike painting and sculpture, textiles was historically seen as an unimportant discipline, undeserving of discussion, not worth deconstructing for message or meaning. The association of textiles with the devalued domestic space of the home, the opposite of the glorified public space of the art gallery, contributes to its dismissal.
So, why am I back here, thinking about textiles as feminist discourse or subversive act? Because Katie Collins' post brought memories of my past self bubbling to the surface. And I am wondering to what extent my long-ago thinking and artistic practice, around the meanings inherent in working in and writing about textiles, has influenced my current and recent research and academic writing. On reflection, my PhD incorporated disruptive elements. While fitting largely within an accepted academic paradigm, it quietly challenged the ways that knowledge is traditionally written about. I used narrative method, literary metaphor and created three multimedia illustrations for the thesis, corporeal expressions of my thinking.
Now that I'm back in the eye of this needle, I need to think further about how textiles might provide a metaphor for research and academic writing.
In the meantime, below I will type an extract from a paper that won me the Allport Writing Award in 1998, and was published in Textile Fibre Forum. It was an analysis of Vivienne Binns' artwork Mrs Cook's Waistcoat. The piece gives a sense of where my thinking was around textiles as feminist activism in the late 1990s. I have deliberately omitted an image of the artwork as I'm wondering if the text itself can paint the picture for you.
by Deborah M. Netolicky (1998), Textile Fibre Forum, Volume 53.
Mrs Cook's Waistcoat may be read as one woman's attempt to rewrite and reinterpret human history. Here Vivienne Binns contributes to the discourse on journey, adventure, and historical significance, telling the pain-filled woman's story of discovery and adventure—the burden of waiting and worrying, as opposed to doing and dying. Through this work she questions platitudes of the day, such as "men work and women weep". Binns demonstrates that women were not passive, but were actively working contributing, storytelling, and recording their own histories, written in needlework.
Binns uses journey as metaphor, identifying with Mrs Cook's expedition as expressed through the waistcoat for Mr Cook. She challenges the value placed on women's histories and women's work by challenging the notion that Mrs Cook's journey was insignificant in terms of human history. She has chosen to elevate its significance, giving it voice, implanting it in the discourse of high art.
… Captain Cook's wife is the "Mrs Cook" referred to by the title of the work which tells the story of her laboring over a waistcoat for her husband while he is away on a long voyage. The waistcoat mapnel is larger-than-life, describing the legendary reputation of Captain Cook in Australian myth-making, and the amplified importance that Binns intends to give to the making of the waistcoat.
Binns connects the historical representation and exploration of Cook's journey with issues of women's value, women's history, and the construction of gender. In her version of this story, the ocean water is a metaphor for a bewitching, intoxicating vacillating, unpredictable femininity and female identity … Cook, the white, middle-class male, is discovering, navigating, defining, and fixing the limits of the Pacific Ocean. He is writing the experiences, histories, and memories of and for the water, which has no voice. It is formless, restless, intuitive, irrational, and passive, in need of taming, subjugating, explaining and defining by the rational, scientific logic of male discourse.
Nature is tamed by culture. Binns places herself in the middle ground. She associates herself as water, as a woman employing subconscious, intuitive processes – her own emotions, remembrances, and ideas about certain colours, materials, and ways of working. On the other hand, she calmly calculates, selects, and constructs her images, associating herself with the heroic explorer, just as the artist does on a continuous intellectual journey to discover new meanings. This marriage of antithetical metaphors reflects Binns' concerns with shaping perceptions of women's ways of knowing, living, researching, remembering, experiencing, and making. By yoking the two ways of working, she gives equal value to each.
…The waistcoat can be seen as a woman's way of writing and recording history. Women write history in fabric, men write history in text. Binns makes Mrs Cook's journey of waiting, sewing, and weeping, as valid as Captain Cook's journey. The labour and time involved in making this waistcoat explain the wife's dedication and devotion to her far-away husband. Binns questions the trivialisation of women's roles surrounding issues of the domestic and 'crafty'. … She uses the processes, materials, and experiences of women—traditional metaphors of women's work—to weave a myth about women's forgotten places in history.
Penetrated openings are created by slicing, cutting, and scarring the fabric, fabric that represents flesh as well a material. … Rolled up papers (the stuff of men's work) penetrate exposed fabric (the stuff of women's work); paper penetrates fabric; men's work penetrates women's work; culture penetrates nature. The slits in the fabric are peeled back like open sores, mirroring the multiple stab wounds that were the cause of Cook's death. The ultimate satire of the story is that while Mrs Cook is lovingly creating the waistcoat for her husband, he is already dead, his stab wounds mirrored in her handiwork. This is reflected in the typed and hand-written text, which permeates through a layer of white paint: "Mrs Cook embroidered… this time the Captain did not return and the waistcoat remains unfinished". This irony elevates her personal anguish, and points to the difference in men's discourses and women's ways of speaking through needlework.
…Binns … uses traditionally female and domestic techniques of women's work: embroidery, pattern-cutting, and sewing. There is a sense of Mrs Cook's physical involvement in this garment, her time, effort, and care. It is stitched, cut, glued. Elements, images, textures, and metaphors are exposed, denied, revealed, concealed, constructed, deconstructed, veiled, disguised, patterned, decorated slashed, sliced, torn, ripped, reconstructed. The piece is layered with the corporeal stuff of memory.
… Binns does not create a new reality, but reflects and reinterprets the existing one in a way that gives it new meaning. She puts one moment in one woman's life under the microscope until it boils, making her audience reconsider women's lives, women's history and women's art.
The 23rd of April–yesterday– was the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare's death. As an English and Literature teacher I'm a believer in the power of reading and writing. And I'm a Shakespeare nerd. I loved teaching Shakespeare for the three years I lived in London. There it all was! The Globe Theatre, Stratford-Upon-Avon, the streets and boards upon which Shakespeare lived and on which his work breathed. Two weeks ago I visited the Folger Shakespeare Library in Washington DC, which houses the world's largest collection of Shakespeare's works and artefacts, including 160,000 books, 60,000 manuscripts and 90,000 works of art. It's Shakespeare nerd heaven.
Why are the Bard's plays taught ubiquitously in English language and literature classrooms around the world, 400 years after his death? Because his work is considered to be universal and relevant across time and space. His plays and sonnets have influenced the very formation of the English language: the words we use and how we use them. He writes about things which resonate deep in the core of humanity: love, jealousy, history, ambition, rage, war, passion, flesh, and being a flawed person in the world.
So, today I thought I'd share a few of my favourite quotes from Shakespeare's plays, along with some of my photos of the wonderful Folger Shakespeare Library.
Juliet's famous line draws into question notions of identity. What does it matter what we're called? Does a name or a title change who we are, or who we are perceived to be? I kept my maiden name when I got married, embedded as it was in my sense of who I am. Recently I got to change my title from 'Ms' to 'Dr' which has come with its own inner identity wrangling. This question is still relevant today, as the language we use to define and describe (ourselves, the world, anything, everything) shapes the meanings we make and the realities we create.
An oft-cited line, here's a case of art speaking a universal truth: the importance of being true to oneself. Shakespeare reminds us to live authentically and purposefully.
While Shylock's speech ends in vengeance, it begins with a powerful, emotive plea for social justice and equality. This plea can be seen (from a particular angle) to challenge the beliefs of Shakespeare's time. It also challenges modern audiences to consider their own prejudices and kindnesses. Who in our contemporary world is treated with a lack of empathy or humanity? Who is voiceless or powerless? Who is willing to stand up for justice and fair treatment of all? What is fair?
Shylock's character is complex and open to different interpretations. Is he villain, victim or man of integrity? He challenges viewers to reflect on themselves, the world in which they live, the way they treat others and the way they conduct themselves.
Lady Macbeth is initially the backbone in her relationship with Macbeth, although she later goes mad. Here she is at the beginning of the play, strong, resolute and convincing. She calls on spirits to "unsex me" in her drive to take on the strong masculine role alongside her then-weak husband. The actions of Lady Macbeth and her husband are murderous, driven by ambition. The complexities of their relationship explore still-relevant themes of power, gender and love.
I love this line. Titania is enchanted as she wakes, but who wouldn't want to have these words sleepily uttered to them as soon as a lover opened their eyes?
Sometimes we can get caught up in the details of our lives. The minutiae of tasks and to-dos, which for me this week has meant an explosion of Post-Its across my work space and yet another blog post on finishing the PhD. I've been existing very much in my head.
It's nice to be reminded of the beauty, wonder, and creativity in the world. This morning I took my boys to Cottesloe for the Sculptures by the Sea exhibition which runs each March. We ran along the sand, splashed in the water, and admired the art. They played, laid on their backs to appreciate the sky and sculptures, and clambered over rocks. It was gloriously simple, and yet the art gave us much to talk about and to think about.
Below are some of my photos from this morning. You can find some of my pics from last year's exhibition in this post.

Maybe Katana Zero didn't immediately stand out to you on the eShop. Perhaps it's because it's seemingly just one more pixelated indie game, or because you've already preloaded a certain other stylish indie action game releasing on April 18. Or maybe it's because you're like me, and expected Katana Zero to be yet another pretty, but ultimately forgettable indie experience. And you know what, these are all reasonable expectations to have.
The neo-noir, action-platformer Katana Zero is appearing on Switch via the eShop as of today. Watch the game's launch trailer below.
Katana Zero is Devolver Digital's most pre-ordered Switch game thus far, the company has announced. A specific number was not provided.
Devolver Digital has offered a number of games on the eShop, including Gris, The Messenger, and Ape Out. Several "older" titles are available as well like Enter the Gungeon, Minit, and Downwell.
We'll have our review of Katana Zero up tomorrow.
The stylish neo-noir, action-platformer Katana Zero launches for Switch on April 18 from Askiisoft and Devolver Digital. We have a look at the first half hour of the game below.

One of the biggest signs that you have a clogged clothes dryer vent is when it takes more than one cycle to completely dry one load of clothes. If you have noticed that it is taking your clothes longer to dry, you should contact us at Hudson Chimney to schedule an appointment for our professional dryer vent cleaning services. Not only does a dirty dryer vent cause your dryer to not work as well as it should, it also creates a dangerous fire hazard. According to the US Fire Administration, 2,900 clothes dryer fires were reported each year between 2008 and 2010, and these fires resulted in approximately five deaths, 100 injuries, and $35 million in property losses. Most of these fires started due to dirty and clogged dryer vents. This is why many national fire safety organizations recommend that homeowners have their dryer vent system professionally cleaned at least once a year. This service will also save you money on utility bills because you will not have to run your dryer twice as long to dry your clothes. We would like to share some more clothes dryer safety tips to help you reduce this fire risk and prevent clothes dryer fires.
Never use your dryer without a lint filter.
Lint is so flammable that the Boy Scouts of America recommend using it to start campfires. Since your clothes dryer produces a lot of lint, you need the lint filter to collect as much of it as possible. You should always clean the lint filter before or after each load. Although this does trap a lot of lint, your vent will still have loose lint that accumulates over time. When lint builds up enough to block the vent, you could easily have a dryer fire since the excessive heat from the dryer can ignite lint.
Be sure your vent is made from the right material.
For proper air flow, your vent should be constructed from rigid or flexible metal venting material. You also should ensure that the air exhaust vent pipe has no restrictions. The vent flap on the outside of your home should open when your dryer is in use.
Read the owner's manual for your clothes dryer, and do not overload your dryer with too many clothes. Check the plug for your dryer and be sure it is plugged into the right type of outlet. If you have a gas-powered dryer, it should be inspected annually to ensure the gas line and connection have no leaks.
If you have damp clothes at the end of one drying cycle, your dryer vent is most likely clogged. Contact us at Hudson Chimney to schedule an appointment for our professional dryer vent cleaning services.

One in four Filipinos (20 million people) lacks access to electricity. Millions more do not have reliable access to power or safe drinking water. Most of these people are located in rural villages that are isolated in costal or mountainous areas. Without electricity, communities lack the basic resources for development, trapping them in a cycle of poverty, illness, and environmental waste. Kerosene, the fuel most commonly used in place of electricity, is a costly, inefficient, and dangerous alternative. Families spend approximately 10% of their monthly income on kerosene, and 40% of those who use kerosene experience mild to severe burns. As an answer to this problem, the organization HSSi (Hybrid Social Solutions Inc.) has pioneered an innovative "ACCESS" program to provide rural Filipinos with solar and crank powered technologies. HSSi arranges financing through community organizations, organizes local technical support networks, and provides user training to ensure sustainability.
The ACCESS Program aims to empower individuals, families and communities by providing them sustained access to electricity and basic durable consumables. To date, HSSi has collaborated with over forty community organizations across the Philippines to provide 30,000 individuals with solar power.


This bridal session brought me SO much joy. When I arrived, Ashley's home was hoppin' with people who adore her! Her parents, her sisters in law who love her, her nephew, a cute puppy… it was just so much fun. Her sweet mama helped her with her dress and bouquet so diligently, never leaving her side. Every moment buzzed with excitement, but even more than that, Ashley's beauty left everyone in awe.
Just like at the session, Ashley and Chris' wedding day this weekend was full of excitement, emotion, and so much love from their family and friends. It was truly the sweetest celebration to photograph, one that I'll never forget.
Congratulations on the most beautiful wedding day, Ashley and Chris! Chris, you are such a lucky guy!!
