The Skopje Earthquake – a devastating catastrophe
If you are passing by the Museum of the City of Skopje, you will probably notice the large clock on the building, whose hands are pointing the time 05.17. This is not just a broken clock which accidentally stopped working at that particular time, but it represents a reminder of the disastrous Skopje earthquake that happened on 26th of July 1963, 17 minutes after 5 o'clock in the morning.
This building is what remained from the old city railway station after the earthquake and it haunts the people of Skopje, reminding them on the devastating catastrophe that killed around 1.000 people, seriously injured more than 3.300 and left homeless about 76% of the population.
The 1963 Skopje earthquake measured 6.1 on the moment magnitude scale, which is equivalent to 6.9 on the Richter scale, with its epicenter in the Vardar River Valley, close to the city, at a depth of 6 km. The tremor lasted for 20 seconds, and smaller tremors followed immediately afterwards, shaking the earth until 5:43 a.m.
The epilogue of the Skopje 1963 eqrthquake
The NewYork Times journalist, David Binder, who was among the first foreign journalists to arrive in the city after the Skopje earthquake reported: "From the air, Skopje looked as if it had been struck by a heavy bombing raid." His statement fairly describes the damage caused by the earthquake in Skopje and the fact that around 80% of the total building area was either destroyed or heavily damaged.
Residential buildings, industrial property, schools, libraries, as well as many cultural and historical monuments that adorned Skopje were mostly destroyed. The fortress in Skopje, known as "Kale" among the residents, was heavily ruined. The high walls of the fortress, built during the Ottoman era, as well as throughout the Byzantium period, that rose above the river Vardar for centuries that morning turned into a huge pile of ruins.
Heavily damaged were many buildings that were built by the Ottoman period, such as Kurshumli An, Suli An, Cifte Hamam, and many mosques. The old residents of Skopje still remember the National Bank, the Officers Hall and the National Theater, buildings that were located on the central square and were considered to be some of the most beautiful buildings that were entirely destroyed by the Skopje Earthquake.
After the earthquake
"Skopje has experienced an unprecedented disaster, but we will rebuild it again. With the help of our community, it will be a symbol of brotherhood and unity, of Yugoslavian and world solidarity" stated Tito during the visit of Skopje, the day after the earthquake. His statement, shortly after, turned into reality. The 1963 Skopje earthquake quickly became international news and the story reached the worldwide public. Within a few days, 35 nations requested the United Nations General Assembly to put relief for Skopje on its agenda. Relief in money, as well as supplies, along with medical and engineering support and building teams, were provided by 78 countries that took part in helping the victims and rebuilding the city.
As never before, solidarity could have been seen on every street of Skopje. Solidarity is what helped the city to be rebuilt from its ruins. Ever since, Skopje is called the "City of International Solidarity", which is the unofficial motto of the Macedonian capital.
As a sign of gratitude for the received relief and support, many streets and buildings in Skopje were named after the countries that donated and constructed them. The Municipality of Karposh is a good example where many of the streets and buildings were named in honor of the countries that helped the city. Most are located within a relatively tight parameter, which is to say within short walking distance.
On one side of Partizanska, one of the longest boulevards is the polyclinic medical center Bukuresht. In Macedonian language, Bukuresht stands for Bucharest, the capital city of Romania and this name was given to the medical center as an appreciation to the Romanian government that donated it. On the other side of the boulevard, as you get deeper into the narrow streets of the neighborhood, you will see the names of many capitals or countries on the streets name tags, such as Warsaw, Paris, Mexico, Havana, Vienna, Oslo, Helsinki, etc.
The homes of the people on these streets were donated by the countries they were named after. On yet another side, north-west from the polyclinic medical center Bucharest, the "Russian buildings" are still there. These were the residential buildings donated by the Soviet Union.
Rebuilding after the Skopje earthquake
The urban plan for a modern Skopje was designed in 1965, after the 1963 Skopje earthquake. It is a creation of the Japanese architect, Kenzo Tange, who won the international competition to redesign and rebuild the city center. Looking back in retrospect, the election of a foreign architect purely on terms of merit is surreal considering the political climate of today. But this is a discussion, perhaps, for another forum.
At that time, the architectural trend was modernist, with a particular focus on concrete brutalism – a marked highlight of Skopje even to this very day. Geometric themes and raw concrete characteristic for the brutalist architecture can be seen all over the Skopje city center, some of them being the Saint Cyril and Methodius University of Skopje, the Central Post Office, the Central train station, and the dormitory buildings "Goce Delchev".
Ever since the Skopje 1963 earthquake, the building codes are strict and vigorously enforced. Only few years ago the Macedonian capital revealed its first skyscrapers, located in the municipality of Aerodrom. The Cevahir complex features 4 buildings all of which are over 40 floors high, and there is growing popularity to build upwards and transform Skopje into a proper European metropolis. Dozens of new residential buildings, most of them 10 stories high, as well as shopping malls, office and institutional buildings now saturate the city, which is growing at a rapid clip year after year as both citizens and economic growth skyrocket in numbers.

Eduard Karl Heinrich Heydenreich (* 29. Mai 1852 in Dresden; † 2. März 1915 in Leipzig) war ein deutscher  Doktor der Philologie, Gymnasiallehrer, Dozent für Geschichte an der Königlichen Bergakademie zu Freiberg, Professor, Ahnenforscher, Regierungsrat und Archivar sowie zuletzt Kommissar für Adelsangelegenheiten im sächsischen Innenministerium.

Leben und Wirken

Eduard Karl Heinrich Heydenreich war Kommissar für Adelsangelegenheiten im Königlich Sachsischen Ministerium des Innern; Regierungsrat, Prof. Dr. phil., und hatte als Pseudonym "Philolithus Montanus". Er wurde am 29. Mai 1852 in Dresden geboren. Auf dem Gymnasium zum heiligen Kreuz in Dresden vorgebildet, studierte er 1871–1876 Philologie und Geschichte auf der Universität Leipzig und 1895–1899 Geschichte, Germanistik und Jurisprudenz auf der Universität Marburg. Er promovierte in Leipzig 1874 zum Dr. phil., bestand 1875 die Oberlehrerprüfung und 1899 in Marburg die für den Königlich Preußische Archivdienst. Vom 15. August bis Ende September 1875 war er Vikar am Thomasgymnasium zu Leipzig, 1875–1889 Oberlehrer am Gymnasium Albertinum zu Freiberg im Erzgebirge, seit 1882 zugleich Privatdozent der Geschichte an der Bergakademie Freiberg, 1889–1895 Oberlehrer am Königlichen Gymnasium zu Schneeberg im Erzgebirge, erhielt 1896 Rang und Titel eines Königlich Sächsischen Professors, war 1899–1902 Archivar der Stadt Mühlhausen in Thüringen, gründete als solcher 1899 den Mühlhäuser Altertumsverein und gab dessen Vereinsorgan, die Mühlhäuser Geschichtsblätter, Bd. 1–3 allein, Bd. 4 mit Kettner heraus. 1904 erhielt er einen Ruf als Kommissar für Adelsangelegenheiten in das Königlich Sächsische Ministerium des Innern und 1902 Rang und Titel eines Königlich Sächsischen Regierungsrates. Seit 1902 war er auch Mitglied des Ausschusses für Adelssachen bei dem Königlich Sächsischen Ministerium des Innern. Außerdem war er Ehrenmitglied des Freiberger Altertumsvereins, seit 1907 Inhaber des Ritterkreuzes I. Klasse des Königlich Sächsischen Albrechtsordens. Am 1. Juni 1911 übernahm er das General-Sekretariat der Zentralstelle für deutsche Personen- und Familiengeschichte, deren stetigem Wachsen die Leitung durch einen mit dem umfangreichen Gebiete ihrer Tätigkeit völlig vertrauten Fachmann außerordentlich förderlich war. Auch die Leitung der Familiengeschichtlichen Blätter lag eine Zeitlang in Heydenreichs Händen. Während der Jahre 1911 und 1912 widmete sich Heydenreich außerdem noch der wissenschaftlichen Heranbildung junger Genealogen im Rahmen von Lamprechts Institut für Kultur- und Universalgeschichte an der Universität Leipzig. Ein schweres Leiden nötigte ihn, Ende 1913 seine Tätigkeit an der Zentralstelle aufzugeben. Heydenreichs Entwicklungsgang von der Philologie über die Geschichte zur Genealogie spricht sich auch in seiner literarischen Tätigkeit deutlich aus. Bekannt ist Heydenreich für sein Standardwerk "Praktisches Handbuch der Genealogie", das im Jahre 1909 zuerst als "Familiengeschichtliche Quellenkunde" und dann im Jahre 1913 in doppeltem Umfange unter dem erstgenannten Titel erschien. Hierin erwähnt er als Beispiel einer Leichpredigt (ohne den Leser auf seine eigene Abstammung hinzuweisen) auf Hedewig Sophie Heydenreich geb. Fischer (* 14. Dezember 1705 in Dresden; † 5. März 1738 in Dresden-Neustadt), eine Enkeltochter des Leibarzt Dr. Heinrich III. Erndel.
Heydenreich hat hier ein Werk geschaffen, das gewiss in Einzelheiten angreifbar ist. Bedenkt man jedoch den ungeheuren Umfang des behandelten Gebietes und die Arbeit, die zur Heranschaffung allein des statistischen Materials notwendig war, so kann man dem Geleisteten seine Hochachtung nicht versagen.

Familie
Eduard Heinrich Heydenreich entstammte der sächsischen Familie Heydenreich, die mehrere berühmte Theologen, Juristen, Politiker und Offiziere in ihrem Stammbaum enthält. Die ununterbrochene Stammfolge geht auf Hannß Heydenreich auf Walthersdorf bei Freiberg zurück.
Er wurde am 29. Mai 1852 geboren als Sohn des Julius Karl Heinrich Heydenreich, auch Julius Carl Heinrich Heydenreich (* 28. Oktober 1817 in Dresden; † 8.

Drei Töchter gingen aus der Ehe hervor:
 Martha Emilie Mathilde Heydenreich (* 22. März 1883 in Freiberg) verheiratet seit 28. September 1908 in Dresden mit Paul Gotthelf Schwen (* Mai 1879 in Bärenstein; † 1949), Lic. theol, Pfarrer in Freiberg
 Marie Johanne Heydenreich (* 11. Oktober 1886 in Freiberg)

Vereine
Heydenreich war Korrespondierendes Mitglied des Herold, Vereins für  Wappen-, Siegel- und Familienkunde, Berlin, der Heraldisch-Genealogischen Gesellschaft "Adler", Wien, des St. Michael, Vereins deutscher Edelleute zur Pflege der Adels- und Familiengeschichte München und des Dansk Genealogisk Institut, Kopenhagen; Auswärtiges Mitglied der Kgl.

Nachlass
Obwohl einige Papieren im Sächsischen Staatsarchiv in Leipzig-Paunsdorf aufbewahrt wurden, ist der Löwenteil von Heydenreichs genealogischer Forschung in Familienhänden geblieben, bis sie um 2016 versteigert wurde. Damit sind als Quelle sehr wertvolle Dokumente, die aus der Zeit vor dem Siebenjährigen Krieg stammen und wegen des Verlusts von alternativen Quellen wie z. B. die Kirchenregister die bei der Bombardierung Dresdens vernichtet worden sind, der Familie verloren gegangen.

The United Kingdom intends to derogate from these provisions on the basis that the complexities of its law on time-limits and limitation periods would only be exacerbated by this Article. It is important that the date of service can be identified with certainty as it determines the time from which a party may enter a default judgment. The UK does not consider that the precise meaning of this provision, and its intended operation in practice, is sufficiently clear; it could therefore increase the potential for confusion. Accordingly it believes that this matter is best left to national law, at least until it has had an opportunity to assess how it works in practice in the other Member States following implementation of the Regulation.

Who are Seumas Milne and Jennie Formby? Labour aides featured in last night's BBC Panorama Is Labour Anti-Semitic
BBC Panorama's documentary revealed details of the anti-Semitism scandal with the Labour Party.
But who are Seumas Milne and Jennie Formby, the aides featured in the Is Labour Anti-Semitic programme? Here's what you need to know.
Who is Seumas Milne?
Seumas Milne is Mr Corbyn's communications chief and a former Guardian journalist who worked for the paper for more than 30 years.
He is the author of the book The Enemy Within: The Secret War Against the Miners, focusing on the strikes during the mid-1980s.
He was appointed the Labour Party's Executive Director of Strategy and Communications in October 2015, under new Labour Leader Jeremy Corbyn, initially on leave from The Guardian.
In January 2017 he left the paper to work for the party permanently.
He reportedly told officials the party was "muddling up political disputes with racism" and must review processes.
It was claimed in a new documentary that Mr Milne laughed when advised by a long-serving party official about what Mr Corbyn should do to tackle anti-Semitism in the party.
Who is Jennie Formby?
Jennie Formby is a British trade unionist and politician.
She is the current General Secretary of the Labour Party, having succeeded Iain McNicol in April 2018.
She joined Labour's NEC – National Executive Committee (NEC) – the party's ruling body in 2011.
Previously, she was political director and south-east England regional secretary for Unite the Union.
She reportedly attempted to interfere in who sat on a panel examining a high-profile case.
It is claimed in a new documentary that officials brought in by Ms Formby "overruled" disciplinary decisions and "downgraded" punishments to a "slap on the wrist"
What was the BBC Panorama programme about?
Up to a dozen ex-Labour staff are said to have spoken to the BBC about how the party processes complaints, and whether senior staff intervened in cases.
The explosive documentary will reveal how some of Mr Corbyn's closest aides are said to have intervened to stop anti-Semites being kicked out and laughed off calls to tackle the crisis.
Eight ex-Labour staffers broke restrictive gagging orders to lay bare the sheer scale of racism in the party.
They told BBC Panorama how the party was hit by a flood of cases of Jew-baiting racism after Mr Corbyn became leader in 2015.
The party's storm over how it deals with anti-Semitism allegations has now been swirling for more than three years – and the Labour boss has been repeatedly accused of not taking the problem seriously enough.
List of names of interviewees and dates of service:
Kat Buckingham, Head of Disputes and Discipline 2015 – 2017
Mike Creighton, Director of Audit and Risk 2009-2017
Sam Matthews, Head of Disputes 2016-2018
Ben Westerman, Investigations Officer 2016-2017
Martha Robinson, Complaints Administrator 2018-2019
Dan Hogan, Investigations Officer 2016-2018
Louise Withers Green, Disputes Officer 2017-2018
Baron Iain McNicol, General Secretary of the Labour Party 2011-2018
Labour have furiously denied the allegations and written to the director general of the BBC accusing the corporation of bias.
A Labour spokesman said the party is absolutely committed to tackling anti-Semitism.
In response to the Panorama programme, a Labour Party spokesperson said: "The Labour Party at all levels is implacably opposed to anti-Semitism and is determined to root out this social cancer from our movement and society. Labour stands in solidarity with Jewish people and is fully committed to the support, defence and celebration of the Jewish community and its organisations.
"Jeremy Corbyn has a long and principled record of solidarity with the Palestinian people and it is false to claim that he has associated with extremist groups. Jeremy Corbyn has proactively addressed anti-Semitism within the Party in direct communications to the Party membership, in articles, speeches, videos and interviews.
"The Leader's Office did not intervene. These former disaffected employees sought the view of staff in the Leader's Office, which was compiled with in good faith.

BOJO BLAST BoJo slams 'bizarre' criticism he threw Brit ambassador to US 'under the bus'
FINAL SHOWDOWN Sun readers to quiz Tory PM hopefuls Boris & Hunt in fiery debate on July 15
"These disaffected former officials include those who have always opposed Jeremy Corbyn's leadership, worked to actively undermine it, and have both personal and political axes to grind. It is simply untrue to say that there were any significant number of disagreements about what constituted anti-Semitism.
"The emails… are simply about ensuring the NCC is held accountable for the length of time they take to hear cases and about protecting the Party against any successful legal challenge on the basis of perceived bias if the same panel is used in high profile cases.
"Labour is taking decisive action against anti-Semitism, doubling the number of staff dedicated to dealing with complaints and cases. And since Jennie Formby became General Secretary, the rate at which anti-Semitism cases have been dealt with has increased four-fold."

Russia Rolls Back Most of Its Oil Cuts as Supply Risks Spread
August 2, 2018 EnergyNow Media
August 1, 2018, by Elena Mazneva
Russia has increased its crude production to levels not seen since it joined OPEC in a coordinated output cut two years ago, helping the group offset supply disruptions elsewhere.
The world's biggest energy exporter boosted its oil production last month to just below the post-Soviet record set in October 2016, Energy Minister Alexander Novak said in a statement late on Wednesday. That's equivalent to about 11.21 million barrels a day, a jump of 140,000 from a month earlier, according to Bloomberg calculations based on the ministry's data.
Since Russia joined the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries in reducing output, crude prices have risen to three-year highs as the glutted market rebalanced. The cartel and its allies — known as OPEC+ — decided to increase production in June in response to consumers' concerns over rising prices and supply disruptions, so traders and investors have been watching Russia's oil data closely.
Russia's production last month was just 40,540 barrels a day lower than October 2016, Novak said. The country has been lifting output following "joint efforts of OPEC and non-OPEC countries aimed at stabilizing the oil market," he said.
OPEC's own crude output increased by 300,000 barrels a day last month, according to a Bloomberg survey, as Saudi Arabia offset losses from an economic collapse in Venezuela, political clashes in Libya and an expected drop in Iranian exports due to U.S. sanctions.
In September OPEC+ may discuss whether a bigger production increase is needed, Novak said last month. Russia has already been ramping up output, led by its biggest producer — state-run Rosneft PJSC. In June, the country's number of working oil wells increased by more than 2 percent from a year before.
Yet, Russia's energy ministry has never publicly shared its estimate of the country's spare oil capacity. Before the June OPEC+ gathering, analyst estimates varied from 215,000 to 500,000 barrels a day. Saudi Arabia had estimated its spare capacity at more than 2 million barrels a day. The kingdom increased its oil production by some 230,000 barrels a day in July — to 10.65 million — which is also close to an all-time peak reached in 2016.

(1915–74). U.S. pharmacologist and physiologist Earl Sutherland was the recipient of the 1971 Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine. He devoted his research to the study of hormones, leading to his discovery that they control body functions by regulating the level of a substance called cyclic AMP, which in turn controls the cellular activity of each organ.
Sutherland was born on November 19, 1915, in Burlingame, Kansas. He graduated from Washburn College in Topeka, Kansas, in 1937 and received his M.D. degree from Washington University Medical School in St. Louis, Missouri, in 1942. After serving in the U.S. Army during World War II, he joined the faculty of Washington University. In 1953 Sutherland became chairman of the department of pharmacology at Western Reserve University (now Case Western Reserve University) in Cleveland, Ohio, where in 1956 he discovered cyclic AMP. He became professor of physiology at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee, in 1963, and a member of the faculty of the University of Miami Medical School in 1973.

New Delhi. In a shocking incident, two engineering students of 'Lakeer Ke Fakeer Institute of Technology' (LFIT) were detained from city airport on suspicion of being terrorists. Later, police released them after realizing that they were actually discussing Counter Strike game strategy.
"I overheard them using terms like bomb plant, bomb site A, bomb site B, headshot, sniper, hand grenade, which scared the hell out of me. Although they were looking like normal teenagers, but I decided not to take any chance," said Manohar Shukla, the person who informed police after sensing possible danger.
"It all sounded too violent," he added.
Anuj and Monu, the "suspects", were members of a counter strike clan named "Khamosh Knigahein" and used to play with pseudonym Murtaza Arzai and Paasha Firangi.
Delhi Police sources confirmed that though initially they were reluctant, they detained the duo as ISI had been using new tricks.
"Spiked hairstyle, low waist jeans, iPod, fluent English, they didn't appear like normal terrorists. But, we assumed that they were new age terrorists trained in Pakistan with help from US money," said Prahlad Singh, the officer who led the police team involved in the operation.
Immediately after detention and questioning by the police, the duo clarified that they were second year engineering students and were discussing important "projects". They offered the police to thoroughly check all their belongings.
A team of experts seized their laptops and every file of the laptop was scanned for any suspicious activity.
"We found 25 GB of music files in C:\My Music, 200 GB video files in C:\WindowsSystem32driversnrop, an empty folder called D:\Acads and whole lot of files related to computer games. There were some Pakistani connections like Songs.pk but there were no files containing sensitive information regarding national security," a cyber expert of Delhi Police revealed.
Unable to find any incriminating evidence, the police later released the duo on conditions that they will keep the police updated about their activities. The latest reports suggest that the duo have already invited the police team to play Counter Strike.

Mike Will commented on the pairing, saying, "Trouble is the only person from the city who's going to give you that raw, pure, honest, real rap, mixed with originality, new flavor, new flows and new lingo," Mike Will said following the signing. "He has the grind, work ethic, and dedication to back it up and the city knows."

Abstract: The paper presents the advanced methods and devices using to determine the shear modulus in soils. A combination of field and laboratory tests was used to characterise the behaviour of a overconsolidated clays. The soil shear modulus at very small strain range G0 was estimated from the SCPTU and the bender elements tests as well as the resonant column tests.

Q: C# ControlCollection Extension GetAllTextboxes How could I get only the texboxes in a ControlCollection ?
I try :
public static IEnumerable<TextBox> TextBoxes(this ControlCollection controlCollection)
{
    return (IEnumerable<TextBox>)controlCollection.Cast<Control>().Where(c => c is TextBox);
}

But I got the following error :
Unable to cast object of type 'WhereEnumerableIterator`1[System.Web.UI.Control]' to type 'System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable`1[System.Web.UI.WebControls.TextBox]'.
I Use Asp.Net 3.5 with C#

A: You don't actually need a new extension method - there's already one for you that will get this:
controlCollection.OfType<TextBox>();

The OfType method returns a sequence (IEnumerable<T>) subset of the sequence provided. If the type isn't convertible, it's left out. Unlike most of the LINQ extension methods, OfType is available on sequences that aren't strongly-typed:

This method is one of the few standard query operator methods that can be applied to a collection that has a non-parameterized type, such as an ArrayList. This is because OfType<(Of <(TResult>)>) extends the type IEnumerable.

Or if you do want to wrap it in an extension method, it's of course quite simple:
public static IEnumerable<TextBox> TextBoxes(this ControlCollection controls)
{
    return controls.OfType<TextBox>();
}

A: You want OfType():
public static IEnumerable<TextBox> TextBoxes(this ControlCollection controlCollection)
{
    return controlCollection.OfType<TextBox>();
}

A: Here is a recursive extension method to get the Control objects that descend from the specified type, including those that are nested in the control hierarchy.
public static class ControlCollectionExtensions
{
    public static IEnumerable<T> OfTypeRecursive<T>(this ControlCollection controls) where T : Control
    {
        foreach (Control c in controls)
        {
            T ct = c as T;

            if (ct != null)
                yield return ct;

            foreach (T cc in OfTypeRecursive<T>(c.Controls))
                yield return cc;
        }
    }
}

(For Windows Forms instead of ASP.NET, substitute Control.ControlCollection for ControlCollection.)

A: foreach (TextBox tBox in controls)
{

}

Example:

public static void HideControls<T>(Form pForm)
{
    foreach (T cont in pForm.Controls)
    {
        cont.Visible = false;
    }
}

HideControls<TextBox>(this);
HideControls<CheckedListBox>(this);


Here he is doing a burnout in it.
I'm putting together my foxbody and need to decide. Both engines need either milled or replaced crankshafts, any input would be great.
It's either get one or take my engine a few towns over to a machine shop to measure Taper & Out Of Round.
I'm not sure if anybody else saw this when it came out, but I just found it today and thought I'd share.
Anyone playing the crew on PC?
Also, does anyone know why the crew censors the word Veto?
My new project and my second car!
I got this for $800 and an old marine used 302 for free, hopefully through the winter they'll come together to make something awesome.
I'm also looking for a radio unit, if anybody has an OEM one for this.
This is my first car, a $500 trade in that one of my coworkers decided to put new plates on it while it was getting detailed.
Let's play price this part!
It's the one with the number highlighted, it's a piece of silicone, red with STI on it.
Bonus round, guess the shop cost.
Shipping cars cross-country in Canada? I found a cheap old Volvo but it's near Vancouver and I live just north of Toronto. I need to find some cheap-ish way to get it over here. any help would be appreciated.
Are there any resource(s) Where I can learn in extreme detail how different pipes change exhaust notes?
So have my uncle's (If I remember correctly.) 1200 WHP roadrunner. It was built in his shop, A&D Preformance.
Does anyone know have/know where I can get one around the GTA? It's one of the major things holding me back from my project.
Does anyone know how to protect bare metal for weeks?
I've got a project that I'm working on, and I need to sandblast the frame. I can only set up something to let me sandblast bits at a time, and I barely have the time to do it. Should I just leave it bare, should I cover what I get done in plasti, or find a way to prime it?
I know opponauts tend towards simulators, but does anyone play this?
I've been pounding through maps solo all day today.
Anyone who doesn't know it, it's just time trials on (Mostly) fantasy styled tracks, where at times you can be playing against 100 people all at the same time, everyone trying to shave tenths or hundredths of a second off their time.
Anyone know of a POS for sale near Toronto?
Does anyone know of any extremely cheap vehicles for sale near Toronto? The only thing I need from them is the ability to move, They can be stripped out or crashed vehicles, I'm not taking this on the road.
Any chance you guys could help with ID'ing a carb?
I bought a dune buggy frame a few weeks ago, and it came with a bunch of parts. I'm trying to sell what I won't need. (An old beetle heater and this so far) But it's hard to put something up for sale without knowing what it is.
It just got dropped off on Friday. It came with a lot of old beetle parts filling the barrel that can be seen beside there, and that don't have such a special storage spot, that just get the ground.


Washington, DC, September 27, 2008 – The U.S. House of Representatives today passed H.R. 6146, crucial legislation that will protect American citizens from foreign libel judgments that undermine their fundamental First Amendment free speech rights. The bill was inspired by the New York State Libel Terrorism Protection Act – commonly known as "Rachel's Law", which declared that foreign libel judgments are unenforceable in New York courts. Rachel's Law was enacted earlier this year.
Ehrenfeld knows first-hand of the harrassment inflicted by this destructive practice of forum shopping. Following the publication of her latest book,Funding Evil: How Terrorism Is Financed and How to Stop It, Ehrenfeld was sued in Britain by Saudi billionaire Khalid bin Mahfouz. Ehrenfeld had documented Mahfouz's involvement in funding HAMAS and al Qaeda. Mahfouz fired back by attempting to force a retraction and apology, pressinga meritless, protracted, and expensive libel suit against Ehrenfeld in a country with plaintiff-friendly libel laws had not written, published or marketed the book.
A serial suer, Mahfouz had used the British law and courts to silence many Western and American writers and publishers. None fought back but Dr. Ehrenfeld, who countersued Mahfouz in NY federal court. Her lawsuit led New York State legislators to pass the Libel Terrorism Protection Act, the impetus for Rep. Cohen's bill.
Indeed, the ACLU, the American Library Association, the Association of American Publishers, the PEN American Center, the Families of the 9/11 victims, and many others support the Free Speech Protection Act of 2008, sponsored by Senators Arlen Specter, Joseph Lieberman and Chuck Schumer, and Rep. Peter King.
Ehrenfeld hopes the 111th Congress will hold hearings to address the additional measures necessary to protect American writers, and to deter attempts to silence the freedom of the press in the U.S.
Ehrenfeld is the Director of the New York-based American Center for Democracy and the Center for the Study of Corruption & the Rule of Law. She is an authority on the shadowy movement of funds through international banking systems and governments to fund terrorism. Dr. Ehrenfeld has testified before Congressional Committees, as well as the European Parliament, and consulted government agencies such as the Department of Defense and Homeland Security.


Snorkelling in Pemuteran offers much more than a chance to view fish species and corals: you can witness a rare example in which the interaction between humans and nature can create positive outcomes for both. A visit to Pemuteran and Menjangan National Park cannot be complete without having a look at these amazing Biorock® structures.
For people who love to spend time underwater, options are plenty and exceptional. Divers can choose from the island of Menjagan (Deer Island- part of the protected West National Park), to the waters of the Pemuteran Bay.
The waters in Pemuteran Bay are home to an important coral conservation project started by the initiative and cooperation of many local participants. For non-divers, the shallow waters and low currents of the calm North Bali Sea, make it suitable for families and elderly people to enjoy amateur diving, snorkeling and enjoy the sandy beaches under the shade of big trees.
Dolphin Trips - These trips leave early each morning and are great fun for the kids, despite the critiscism that the boats tend to outnumber the dolphins. Snorkeling is possible on the reef just offshore from Kalibukbuk in the mornings around 10am. You will need to hire a boat. Snorkeling and scuba diving trips leave from Kalibukbuk for Menjangan and other north shore dive spots. There are several dive operators based out of Lovina that operate daily dive trips to Menjangan Island, Tulamben and Amed, as well as night dives from the local shore.
West Bali National Park consists of primary monsoon forest, mangrove forest, lowland rain forest, savanna and sea grass vegetation types. Only with designated head guides, the Park is suitable for walking and trekking and is an educational excursion for the young.


The Stony Brook men's basketball team looked hopeless in Tuesday's loss to Hofstra. With 6:25 left in the game, the team was down 32 to Hofstra, its largest lead until that point. The Seawolves had not scored a single point for more than two minutes. The Seawolves drought was only made worse by the Pride's monsoon.
Hofstra soon increased the lead to 42, the largest advantage of the game. The Pride took advantage of several free throws in three minutes, gaining 10 points. The Seawolves, on the other hand, could not get anything going offensively and only scored two points in those same three minutes — junior forward Tyrell Sturdivant and senior guard Kam Mitchell split a pair of free throws.
The Pride simply overpowered the Seawolves and won the battle between the Long Island teams, 96-58. It was the worst loss Stony Brook has suffered since falling to Villanova, 78-35, in 2005.
Shooting was a problem early on for Stony Brook. The Seawolves shot 1-8 to start the game, while the Pride built a 10-2 lead.
Redshirt freshman forward Akwasi Yeboah, in particular, had a rough night shooting the ball. The leading scorer for the Seawolves in the last two games could not get anything going, shooting 1-for-9 from the field and 0-for-4 from three-point range in the first half.
Sturdivant also struggled throughout the game. Hofstra forward Rokas Gustys, at 6-foot-9-inches tall, took advantage of his match-up against the smaller 6-foot-7 Sturdivant and attacked the post as often as he could. Sturdivant was overwhelmed, allowing Gustys to score 11 points and grab 18 rebounds.
In fact, Hofstra outscored Stony Brook 34-24 in the paint and had 22 second chance points while the Seawolves only had 10.
The entire Seawolves team was just outmatched. Despite junior forward Jakub Petras' career-high seven rebounds, Stony Brook lost the battle on the glass, 59-30. The team also only shot a season-low 44 percent from the free-throw line.
The lack of success at the line, coupled with a "fire-at-will" mentality from the Seawolves, cost the team in the first half. They shot 2-for-13 from beyond the arc in the first half. The second half proved to be a little better shooting wise, with Stony Brook making four three-pointers on 15 attempts. However, it was not enough to stem the bleeding.
But not all was lost for Stony Brook. Freshman guard Michael Almonacy emerged as a weapon off of the bench. He was the Seawolves' saving grace, scoring a career-high 15 points to the lead the team in scoring.
Not only did Almonacy show prowess as a scorer, but he, along with junior forward Roland Nyama, also led the team with three assists. However, Nyama struggled to score, recording four points in the game total and going scoreless in the second half.
Stony Brook will continue its road trip on Saturday, Dec. 17. The team heads to Loretto, Pennsylvania to take on Saint Francis at 1 p.m.


Our teacher has now turned from a baby toddler teacher to a swimming instructor. Our care givers are no longer in the water with us. Make sure your teacher is experienced, certified and patient. Learn to swim is pre-schoolers or sometimes school age children still learning their survival skills. It is important babies, toddlers and children know how to float, fall in and swim back to the wall, swim in a relaxed calm manner and roll to back to get a breath.,dive in from the side, go to the bottom of the pool to gather treasures, swim and float in deep and shallow water. These vital survival skills should be proficient before commencing stroke development.
This is the first class without the parent/caregiver in the water. There is no age definition at this level, it is all skill based as well as having sound knowledge of the child's psychological social, physical and emotional readiness.
We are still little and need to have fun, excitement, games and a strong bonding trust with our teacher.
All about the body and head position in the water. Streamlined body, rotations and strengthening survival swimming, the introduction of kicking for freestyle and backstroke.
We can even do wiggly worm for butterfly kick with and without flippers. Some days we even try breaststroke kick just because we can.

24 LASTMA Officials Have Been Dismissed Over Misconduct Allegations In 2years
By admin On Jun 17, 2018
Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) has dismissed 24 of its personnel in the past two years over misconduct.
The authority has also lost about 10 personnel, while some others suffered injuries with some resulting in amputation in the course of carrying out their duties.
Chief Executive Officer of the authority, Christian Olakpe made the disclosure saying LASTMA also punished erring officers and men in some other ways including suspension, rank reduction and isolation.
"There are various avenues we use to checkmate the misconducts of officials on duty," Olakpe said. He said that LASTMA had received numerous complaints against its officers.
"We initiated LASTMA Response Unit to carry out investigations on such complaints. The Provost Unit was also created to mete out punishment on any of them found guilty.
We have dismissed 24 personnel in the last two years as a result of corruption, abuse of office, extortion, impropriety and other misconduct. Eagle's eye is on officers on duty to ensure zero tolerance to corruption," he said.
According to him, LASTMA is creating a new culture of effective human relations and efficient traffic management.
"We are keying more into the rule of law, and our officers are driving more into the protocol of arrest. You can't just stop people and start fighting them on the road. We have trained our officers to be very civil and polite while carrying out their duties.
Olakpe regretted that about 10 LASTMA personnel had been killed in the past two years and others suffered injuries while carrying out their duties.
"It is unfortunate that about 10 of our officers and men were killed while controlling traffic, like Mr Bakare Olatunji, who was killed at Apapa while on duty. Some of our men also suffered injuries from irate mobs while managing traffic.
We are working with the police to bring the perpetrators to book. It is a big task handling traffic management in Lagos state," he said.

Christina D'Angelo, native of Northport, NY played for Sue Murphy at the University of Richmond. Christina was a four year starter on the Spider Top 10 team, helping take the University of Richmond to 3 Atlantic 10 Championships and 3 NCAA Appearances. Christina has coached for the Yellow Jackets on Long Island, NY and will now teach history and assume the Head Coach role at The Steward School this Fall, 2012.
"Christina is a great addition to our STORM Black coaching staff. She was a defensive specialist in high school and college but is an outstanding teacher of all areas of the game. Christina is passionate about teaching the game. I personally appreciate how she can teach all that she has gained from top high school and college coaching." claims Sue Murphy, Co-Director of STORM Lacrosse.
Mary Flowers, native of VA Beach, was recruited to University of Richmond under Sue Murphy. She graduated this past May while leading her Spiders team as a 3x Atlantic 10 Midfielder of Year and 3x Atlantic 10 First Team All Conference.
"I am thrilled to add Mary to STORM Silver staff to assist Coaches Pate & Nixon. Mary's recent D1 college experiences will certainly compliment our staff. She has played against some of the top teams in the country and dominated as a Spider. She is quite an athlete and certainly will do a lot for our young laxers." states New World Sports President, Sue Murphy.

Upper Canada District School Board » Our Board » Human Resources » Executive Compensation
The Government of Ontario's Broader Public Sector Executive Compensation Act of 2014 (BPSECA), requires employers, including school boards, to develop an Executive Compensation Program to ensure a responsible, transparent, and consistent approach to managing executive salaries.
In consultation with Mercer (Canada), an independent consulting firm that specializes in executive compensation, an Executive Compensation Framework was developed provincially for use by all 72 Ontario Public School Boards.
Using the approved framework, and in collaboration with the Ministry of Education, the Board developed a program that was posted on our website for 30 days of consultation and comment.
The framework is compliant with provincial legislation and balances the need to responsibly manage compensation costs with the need to attract and retain executive talent to ensure continued progress in student achievement and success.
Following the consultation and review of the input, a summary of the public feedback and any possible revisions to the Board's framework will be submitted to the Ministry of Education for final approval.
We accepted public input on the original draft Executive Compensation Framework until January 19, 2018 at 4:00 pm. All feedback was appreciated and has been kept on record. Please note, this survey is now closed.
Q. What are the requirements of the Broader Public Sector Executive Compensation Act (BPSECA) and the Ontario Regulation 304/16 – Executive Compensation Framework?
The government introduced the Broader Public Sector Executive Compensation Act (BPSECA) in 2014 and Ontario Regulation 304/16 – Executive Compensation Framework which requires Ontario broader public sector designated employers to develop an Executive Compensation Program, including an Executive Compensation Framework, to ensure a responsible, transparent, and consistent approach to setting executive compensation in the broader public sector.
Q. What is an Executive Compensation Program?
An Executive Compensation Program sets out the rationale and compensation parameters for executive level positions in our Board. This approach balances the need to manage compensation costs with our need to attract and retain the executive talent we seek. In addition, our Executive Compensation Program meets the intent and goals of the Ministry of Education and Treasury Board Secretariat (TBS) to ensure responsible executive compensation management in the Broader Public Sector.
Q. How was the Executive Compensation Program developed?
In consultation with Mercer (Canada), an independent consulting firm that specializes in executive compensation, an Executive Compensation Steering Committee comprising the four publicly-funded trustee Associations, Supervisory Officers (also known as "superintendents') and Directors of Education Associations developed the Executive Compensation Framework for use by all 72 publicly-funded Ontario Public School Boards.
Q. What positions will the Executive Compensation Program be applied to?
At our school board, the Executive Compensation Program applies to: the Director of Education and Supervisory Officers (known locally as Superintendents).
Q. Why is the Executive Compensation Program needed?
Recently, there has been difficulty attracting and retaining executive talent at school boards, due to the compensation compression resulting from executive compensation freezes and increasing Principal and Teacher salaries through negotiations.
Q. Why are you consulting?
Ontario Regulation 304/16 – Executive Compensation Framework requires designated public sector employers to post their Executive Compensation Program on their public website for a period of 30 days for consultation.
Q. How will input from the public consultation be used?
All input from the public consultation will be considered in the review of the Executive Compensation Program. Based on the input received, we will be better positioned to further refine and implement our Executive Compensation Program. We will also be better positioned to meet the requirements of this new legislation.
Q. Where can I find more information about executive compensation in the Ontario broader public sector and the legislation?
Additional information about the Regulation can be found using this link: https://www.ontario.ca/laws/regulation/r16304
Additional guidelines for the Framework can be found using this link: https://www.ontario.ca/page/executive-compensation-framework-guide
If you have feedback to offer on the Program, please complete the online form. We will be accepting public input until January 19, 2018 at 4:00 pm. All feedback is appreciated and will be kept on record. Please note, this survey is now closed.


Many organizations talk about diversity but how many actually make it a priority? With the face of Canada's population rapidly changing, this is one question that every Human Resources department will need to consider. According to Statistics Canada, by 2031, if current demographic trends continue, 47% of second generation Canadians will belong to a visible minority group, nearly double the proportion of 24% in 2006. As well, Statistics Canada data also indicates that as of 2011, all net labour force growth in Canada is expected to come from immigration. For these and many more reasons, having a workplace that is reflective of the outside community should be a priority for any organization that wants to achieve a diverse workforce.
Make it Official – The goal of a diverse workplace should start with your organization's core values and possibly, mission/vision statements too. By making the topic a key component of the company's identity, you set the stage for both hiring as well as acceptance amongst your employees. Show your staff that your company's commitment to diversity, other cultures, ethnicities and backgrounds are part of the basic values that your organization upholds and they will better follow your lead.
Commit to a Diversity Recruiting Strategy – HR can be a great starting point for organizational culture. Bringing in new people is an immediate way to achieve diversity and a concrete plan or strategy to consistently reach out to diverse audiences and talent is critical. As well, connections to outside communities as part of the overall corporate strategy will allow for easier recruitment from diverse groups.

Q: How to make 2 dimensional array containing lists I've got a type Package, and I want to make something like a rubic's cube. I want to make the floor with a 2-dimensional array and each entry will hold a list (3D).
Making my 2D array
Package[][] floor = new Package[x][y];

And I've got my List of package, and want to make something like this
floor[i][j]= (new ArrayList <Package>()); in a loop

Can someone explain why I've got the error message:

"Cannot convert Package to ArrayList Package"

On my lessons teacher said, I can do something like this.

A: Your array is declared to store Package type objects.
I assume that you want to store Lists of Package objects in that array.
I found answer on Stack which tells that you cannot create arrays of parameterized objects. It means that you are unable to create array of lists.
Guy who answered thst question shows example of how to create ArrayList of ArrayLists. Using that example you should be able to create what you want.
You have to create 2D ArrayList of Lists.

Your computer is as slow as molasses. Your mouse freezes every 15 minutes, and that Microsoft Word program just won't seem to open.
You might have a virus.
Viruses are pieces of programming code that make copies of themselves, or replicate, inside your computer without asking your explicit written permission to do so. Forget getting your permission down on paper. Viruses don't bother to seek your permission at all! Very invasive.
In comparison, there are pieces of code that might replicate inside your computer, say something your IT guy thinks you need. But the code spreads, perhaps throughout your office network, with your consent (or at least your IT guy's consent). These types of replicating code are called agents, said Jimmy Kuo, a research fellow with McAfee AVERT, a research arm of anti-virus software-maker McAfee Inc.
In this article, though, we're not talking about the good guys, or the agents. We'll be talking about the bad guys, the viruses.
A long, long time ago in computer years, like five, most viruses were comprised of a similar breed. They entered your computer perhaps through an email attachment or a floppy disk (remember those?). Then they attached themselves to one of your files, say your Microsoft Word program.
When you opened your Microsoft Word program, the virus replicated and attached itself to other files. These could be other random files on your hard drive, the files furthest away from your Microsoft Word program, or other files, depending on how the virus writer wanted the virus to behave.
This virus code could contain hundreds or thousands of instructions. When it replicates it inserts those instructions, into the files it infects, said Carey Nachenberg, Chief Architect at Symantec Research Labs, an arm of anti-virus software-maker Symantec. Corp.
As far as web browsers are concerned, Microsoft's Internet Explorer takes most of the heat for spreading viruses because it's used by more people for web surfing than any other browser.
Nevertheless, "Any web browser potentially has vulnerabilities," Nachenberg said.
For instance, let's say you go to a website in IE you have every reason to think is safe, Nachenberg said.
But unfortunately it isn't. It has virus code hidden in its background that IE isn't protecting you from. While you're looking at the site, the virus is downloaded onto your computer, he said. That's one way of catching a nasty virus.
During the past two years, another prevalent way to catch a virus has been through downloads computer users share with one another, mostly on music sharing sites, Kuo said. On Limewire or Kazaa, for instance, teenagers or other music enthusiasts might think they're downloading that latest Justin Timberlake song, when in reality they're downloading a virus straight into their computer. It's easy for a virus writer to put a download with a virus on one of these sites because everyone's sharing with everyone else anyway.
Here's one you might not have thought of. If you use Outlook or Outlook Express to send and receive email, do you have a preview pane below your list of emails that shows the contents of the email you have highlighted? If so, you may be putting yourself at risk.
Forget opening the attachment. All you have to do is view the email to potentially get a virus, Kuo added. For instance, have you ever opened or viewed an email that states it's "loading"? Well, once everything is "loaded," a virus in the email might just load onto your computer.
OK, so we've talked about how the viruses get into a computer. How do they cause so much damage once they're there?
Let's say you've caught a classic virus, one that replicates and attacks various files on your computer. Let's go back to the example of the virus that initially infects your Microsoft Word program.
Well, it might eventually cause that program to crash, Nachenberg said. It also might cause damage to your computer as it looks for new targets to infect.
This process of infecting targets and looking for new ones could eventually use up your computer's ability to function, he said.
Often the destruction a virus causes is pegged to a certain event or date and time, called a trigger. For instance, a virus could be programmed to lay dormant until January 28. When that date rolls around, though, it may be programmed to do something as innocuous but annoying as splash popups on your screen, or something as severe as reformat your computer's hard drive, Nachenberg said.
For these other intentions, we first need to explain the "backdoor" concept.
The sole purpose of some viruses is to create a vulnerability in your computer. Once it creates this hole of sorts, or backdoor, it signals home to mama or dada virus writer (kind of like in E.T.). Once the virus writer receives the signal, they can use and abuse your computer to their own likings.
Trojans are pieces of code you might download onto your computer, say, from a newsgroup. As in the Trojan War they are named after, they are usually disguised as innocuous pieces of code. But Trojans aren't considered viruses because they don't replicate.
Now back to the real viruses. Let's say we have Joe Shmo virus writer. He sends out a virus that ends up infecting a thousand machines. But he doesn't want the feds on his case. So he instructs the viruses on the various machines to send their signals, not of course to his computer, but to a place that can't be traced. Hotmail email happens to be an example of one such place, Kuo said.
That's right. Some spam you have in your email right now may have been originally sent to other innocent computers before it came to yours so that it could remain in disguise. If the authorities could track down the original senders of spam, they could crack down on spam itself. Spam senders don't want that.
Ever heard of phishing emails? Those are the ones that purport to be from your internet service provider or bank. They typically request some information from you, like your credit card number. The problem is, they're NOT from your internet service provider or your bank. They're from evil people after your credit card number! Well, these emails are often sent the same way spam is sent, by sending them via innocent computers.

Syrian refugees are not lucky. Even though Syria has about five neighboring countries, all countries are in a crisis, especially the Arab countries.
I really feel very bad when I see on the news civilian corpses. It is wrong and what hurts the most is that no Arab country tried to give a hand – they are just standing by and watching what is happening.
Syrian refugees are living in terrible conditions, do not eat well and face health problems. Sometimes, refugees remain in the shelter, but they are not safe as the whole place can be bombed at any time. This has happened in a refugee camp in Turkey, I mean it is really unbearable to feel like you can lose a member of your family right in front of you without being able to do anything about it.
But, I have some ideas that can help improve the situation of refugees.
Campaigns can be created to target youth in order to explain the importance of helping others because now all countries are at risk from terrorists belonging to the group "DAESH".
Another idea is for every young person to do voluntary work. For example, people who have knowledge of languages or any skills can teach the refugees the needed languages in the host country for integration. They can also try to buy clothes and food, accompany refugees and provide them with means of entertainment in order to break the monotony.
We really have to act; they are our brothers in humanity and we must do everything possible to fight against bad values such as ignorance, inequality and discrimination. After all, we are all human, we are all born to fulfill our objectives in life as authentic human beings helping one another.
In the end we are all mortals, so we must leave important traces in this life so that the next generations continue on the same path.
I desire from the depth of my heart that all human beings live healthy, happy, with their families and that their dreams come true.

Daily Kos: Fox News Lies about Obama & Oil Subsidies
Mark Berman Opposing Views
The left-leaning political Web site Daily Kos is pointing out what it politely calls "disinformation" about Fox News' reporting on President Obama and oil subsidies.
In a story on its site titled "It's All Your Money: Paying for Energy Subsidies," Fox reports the following:
Here's a look at some subsidies in President Obama's 2012 Fiscal Year budget:
• $126 million for wind
• $340 million for bio fuels
• $457 million for solar
• $452 million clean coal
• $800 million for nuclear
Oil and gas get even more of your money through tax incentives, deductions, depreciation and investment credits. Those total about $3.6 billion a year, according to the Administration.
However, the Daily Kos says none of this is true. It writes:
The only problem? Obama's budget doesn't actually propose any such thing. Okay, here are the facts:
-- Last month, President Obama has proposed ending big oil subsidies.
-- This week, Congressional Democrats voted to end big oil subsidies.
-- And this week, House Republicans unanimously voted to protect big oil subsidies.
The Daily Kos ends its report with one more jab at Fox News:
You'd think those would be relevant facts for a real news organization, certainly details that are worth pointing out. But Fox is a propaganda outlet, so disinformation reigns.

10 Reason to Cancel Your TV License and more…
January 15, 2013 By NEWS WIRE Leave a Comment
BanTheBBC says:
Up until the last few years I used to be a big fan of BBC programming and would invest at least a few hours every day watching programmes like Eastenders, Top of the Pops, Only Fools & Horses, Question Time, Newsnight, Panorama, etc.
But these days I cannot bring myself to watch any BBC programmes at all. Even watching just five minutes worth makes me feel dirty. It's not the quality of the programming that's at issue, it's the fact that the BBC is such a repulsive propaganda machine that seems to pay no attention to the concerns of the very people who are funding them.
The BBC has had it too good for too long. One of the major problems posed by the BBC is their lack of accountability to the very people who pay their wages — us. The BBC is never far away from controversy but nothing ever seems to change and no one in their corporation ever seems to be worse off as a result of their wrongdoing. Imagine for a moment that it was a completely different media company we were talking about, and not the BBC. For argument's sake, let's say it was ITV or Sky. What would happen is that the viewers would refuse to watch that TV station any longer and/or they would cancel their subscriptions. And if enough people did this, the company would go bankrupt very quickly. That's because these company's are directly accountable to their viewers who pay their wages via subscriptions or from watching the adverts. However, the BBC does not afford us this luxury to the people who fund them. It doesn't matter how many people stop watching BBC programmes because the BBC will continue to receive £3.4 billion a year from our pockets. Therefore the BBC has no financial impetus to even want to change what they do. Even if a million people suddenly stopped watching the BBC, it wouldn't make the slightest bit of difference to the BBC's annual turnover, which means that they can continue to anger people as much as they want without any fear of redundancies, pay cuts or the company going bust through lack of consumer confidence in their products.
Therefore we only have one real option available to us and that's to cancel our TV Licence…

Q: Regressing coffee beans in US to coffee beans in EU We're trying to model two time series: a random walk (independent variable) vs. the sum of this random walk and a mean-reverting process. For example: coffee bean 100kg prices (EU) vs. coffee bean 100kg prices (US). The difference between these two can be seen as costs in the transportation process, seen as the mean-reverting part. Now we want to regress these two against each other. Through OLS we achieve, as expected, a coefficient of around 1. However, our results show a large amount of autocorrelation in the residuals due to the fact that transportation costs has high and low periods.
To remove this autocorrelation we have tried to make them stationary by taking first differences for x and y. After doing this, our autocorrelation is completely gone, but the regression coefficient now deviates from 1 (for example 0.6), which is counterintuitive as the prices are for the same amounts of coffee beans. As such, we lose the trend in our data. How to correct for autocorrelation without losing the trend in our time series?
Would using Newey-West standard errors combined with the OLS coefficients give an accurate alternative to modeling the autocorrelation?
PS: there are no known tariffs/taxes for importing coffee beans
