Saturday quick picks
Teresa / July 18, 2009
Bits and pieces of news, in no particular order…
Louisiana Downs race-caller Travis Stone, along with Mark Midland and Mike Shutty, have launched Horse Racing Nation, a "free, wiki community focused on racing information, insights and discussion for passionate horse racing fans." According to the site,
The "Nation" for the first time, provides a place where racing fans from around
the world can share their love of horse racing with their fellow community
members. The information, stories, photos, videos and comments on Horse Racing
Nation are all provided by horse racing fans and organized for logical and easy
So check it out if you're interested in both consuming and contributing to racing news and information.
Racing writers Dana Byerly of Green but Game, Jessica Chapel of Railbird and Raceday360, and Kevin Martin of Colin's Ghost have created Omnisurface Stars, a site devoted to highlighting the horses who are successful on grass, dirt, and synthetic surfaces. It, too, welcomes input from readers.
From the world of philanthropy, a variety of industry groups has pledged financial support to the Thoroughbred Retirement Foundation. NYRA will donate $50,000, and the Jockey Club and New York Thoroughbred Horsemen's Association will each donate $25,000. More than two dozen New York-based jockeys will donate a dollar from each mount, retroactive to June 27th.
In other New York racing news, New York Thoroughbred Breeders is organizing a rally at the state capitol. According to a NYTB release:
On Monday, July 27th at 12 noon, the hard-working families who earn their living
at New York's Thoroughbred Breeder's farms and racing stables will be at the
State Capitol in Albany to leave horseshoes at the offices of those leaders who
haven't "gotten out of the starting gate" by selecting a Video Lottery Terminals
operator for Aqueduct.
If you're interested in participating, contact NYTB for more information.
I was supposed to road trip down to Colonial last weekend, but a variety of feline maladies forced me to scratch. According to a press release, I missed quite a day. On Friday night, the track hosted a poker tournament, open to 400 players, with free registration beginning at 6:00 pm and the tournament kicking off after the fourth race. Apparently "$1,000 in betting vouchers" was "up for grabs," which seems to me a pretty nifty way to combine a table game with racing, and to bring poker players to the betting windows.
On Saturday the 11th, the track featured a $10 all-you-can-eat trackside buffet with hot dogs, hamburgers, barbecue, and soft drinks. Prior to the racing day, fans could work up an appetite in the Virginia Derby 5K run, whose $15 admission fee included admission to today's Virginia Derby, won by Battle of Hastings.
I've been wanting to get to Colonial for some time now, and hearing about its efforts to reach out to fans make me all the more disappointed that I was unable to go last week. If anyone has partaken of any of these special events, I'd be interested in hearing about how they go over at the track.
We're now eleven days out from Saratoga opening day, and if you're looking for an opportunity to head to the Spa, considering entering the NYRA/Shadwell Travers contest. Beginning today, you can enter for a chance to win a Shadwell Travers Stakes Prize Package that includes two tickets to the "Mid-Summer Derby" on Saturday, August 29, round-trip airfare for two, and two nights of hotel accommodations at the Hampton Inn in downtown Saratoga Springs.
Worth a shot, no?

colonial's efforts to reach out to fans? They don't sell Daily Racing Forms at the track because of a dispute. They have such a ridiculous intertrack simo charge rate — thanks, I'm told, to a know-nothing state legislature — that few handle the Colonial signal. Consequently, no one is playing. Handle on Va Derby day was down around $1.5 million this year. On track handle for the day was a lousy $567,000. The OTBs took in a mere $119,000. The other day there was so little money in the pools that a Pick 3, which included an even-money winner, paid 2-out-of-3. Beers are $4 at the track. On a personal note, they shut off the betting machine in the press box as soon as the final race ends, with two big policemen trailing the mutuels worker. Aren't we allowed to play Hollywood? And no beer in a press box????The tellers are friendly, I'll give them that. I just don't get how the state and owner have allowed this magnificent racetrack to start falling apart. The state puts lottery ahead of racing every time, never mind jobs creation. I'll tell you what, it was a pretty nice day — as always — this Virginia Derby day with a bucket full of photo finishes — including the big race — but it's sad to watch racing decline like this down there. — J.S.
Your comments, J.S., understandably focus on the experience of the bettor–or the bettor/journalist–and from what you say, it sounds like Colonial could use some help in enticing the person who's already interested in betting on horse racing.I wonder what it was like, yesterday and last week, for the fans who partook of the foot race, the buffet, etc. I hope we get to hear from them, too.
The_Knight_Sky says:
Several internet comments about Colonial Downs racing this summer points to a "sabotage" of their racing product.The Colonial Downs' management will have a lot of explaining to do when handle and attendance figures are down double-digits when the meet commences on July 28th.if they aren't willing to do things right, perhaps they shouldn't apply for racing dates next year.
Well we had a great time on Derby Day. But I did notice the track seemed empty. The Party Zone was particularly lonesome looking. But that could be the big increase in ticket prices. The local newspaper reported attendance was down over 1000 from last year. And I don't think you can blame all of that on the Nicanor scratch. I don't think Colonial management is doing such a great job. Since the property was up for sale last year (a darn shame because it's a gorgeous spot) maybe they are no longer interested in actually running a racetrack.
As a PS. I was at Delaware Park Sunday and it was pretty empty also. Maybe it's just the economy? Oddly enough people were blaming it on the lack of a big field for the Del Cap and that ended up being an exciting race.


Architecture Incorporated designed this office complex and warehouse for the local distributors for Anheuser-Busch Wholesalers, a network of brewers and shippers who provide an extensive beer distribution system. In order to best serve customers, this client needed large, refrigerated warehouses that also supported their computer-based inventory systems. With a location that allows easy access to highways and main thoroughfares, the building's ground level loading docks also provide greater ease and protection in inclement weather. With a nod to the Budweiser "B," the face of the exterior echoes the bold, red lines of the well known product inside.

Chevy talks the Bolt, its nemesis Tesla, and why cheap gas isn't bad for EVs
By Andrew Hard	 March 31, 2016
The 2017 Chevrolet Bolt is a five-door hatchback the size of a Nissan Versa, but don't let its size fool you — this little EV is a very big deal.
Set to go on sale at the end of this year, the Bolt will cost just $30,000 or so after incentives are factored in, and for the money, you'll get a high-tech greenmobile with 200 miles of range. This type of performance-to-dollar ratio was unheard of in the EV world until recently, and with the hotly-anticipated Tesla Model 3 being unveiled on March 31, the Bolt is under a tremendous amount of pressure to succeed.
At the 2016 New York Auto Show, we fought through the crowd to snag a few minutes with Chevrolet's Darin Gesse, the Product Marketing Manager for the Bolt EV and Volt plug-in hybrid. Here's what he had to say.
Digital Trends: Can you describe the ideal customer for the Volt and the Bolt EV?
Darin Gesse: The Volt, with the extended range capability, brings a customer that wants to get into electric driving, but there's a situation where they drive long distances on the weekend or once a month and a pure electric won't work for them. It could also be from a confidence factor — they're not willing to take both feet and step in the water; they want to put one foot in and one foot out. This is the best way to go about doing that, to experience electric driving and still have that extended range backup.
The Bolt EV is really going to be for that customer that wants to go full-fledged, both feet in. Their driving patterns and lifestyle allow for a 200-mile EV range to fit in, or they may have a second or third vehicle for extra trips.
Let's talk Tesla. The Bolt's main rival, the Model 3, will be unveiled on March 31. We don't know everything about that car yet, but in your mind, what sets the Bolt apart?
I'd say the main differentiation right now is we're going to be ahead of them to market by at least a year if not longer, depending on how they deliver on their promises. We certainly are offering a vehicle that comes with a dealership network that's nationwide, so for any maintenance items or accessories — or if you need to bring it in for service — it's local, it's within your community, and it's with people you know. These dealers have been entrenched in communities for years and they're a mainstay. People trust them and they're part of the environment they live in.
The Bolt's electric motor, battery pack, and infotainment system will all come from LG. That's relatively unprecedented, can you talk us through why Chevy decided to go that route?
For the battery at least, it was a simple decision. They've been our partners on the Volt as well as the Spark EV, and they've been producing battery cells for that. It's been bulletproof and we have nothing but the highest confidence in what they do as far as chemistry. In fact, I'm happy to say that out of 85,000 Volt owners, not a single battery has been replaced due to a capacity loss. That's a testament to the quality that LG delivers for us, and they've been able to expand upon that with power electronic components. Certainly it made sense for us to go with them, to partner with them. They are delivering on all the goods.
The Bolt concept was revealed at the 2015 Detroit Auto Show, and it's going on sale at the end of this year. That's a quick turnaround. Was the collaboration with LG instrumental in getting the car out sooner?
Being able to drive with one pedal is going to be a cool feature everyone's going to love.
Certainly when you're working with a partner that you've worked with for several years, the relationships are there. [LG] is a known entity, a known quality, so we know how we can stress each other and get things done a lot faster.
In terms of the big picture, was the Volt developed with the idea that an all-electric Bolt would follow up down the road? Was a high-range pure EV a plan from the outset?
Yes, in theory and in concept we knew that an all-electric vehicle was the direction. But when the Volt launched originally in late 2010, there weren't really a lot of charging stations, so it was one of those 'chicken and egg' things. We had to offer a solution that would allow those charge stations to support it, but that also in an environment without charge stations you could still operate the vehicle.
There's a lot of talk about low gas prices lately, is that a big concern for your team?
We're keeping an eye on it. Obviously, low gas prices are helping us in other ways in the portfolio, so we're really proud that at Chevrolet there's a full line of diverse products that, regardless of the environment, we can satisfy customer needs. But we've been doing research about how gas prices have affected the sales of vehicles like the Nissan Leaf, Tesla Model S, and other EVs, and really we haven't seen much of a correlation. It seems like if a customer decides to buy an EV, they do it regardless of gas prices. And it could be the fact that they just don't want to be involved in that gas price story; they don't want to be concerned about it, but there are other elements. It's an inconvenience to pull off to the side of the road and have to fuel up the vehicle. If it's raining or cold outside, it's an inconvenience to get out of the comfort of your vehicle just to pump gas. So there are other values and benefits to not stopping at a gas station.
Do you have projected sales numbers for the Bolt yet?
We don't give out sales projections, but what we'll tell you is that we've capacitized the plants to meet expected demand. We did purposely put the Bolt EV in a plant that also produces two other products — the Chevrolet Sonic and the Buick Verano. The purpose of that is to have some flexibility. If one product is doing really well and the other product not so much, we can still keep the plant running at a constant pace. Same thing with the Chevrolet Volt, we put that in [the Detroit-Hamtramck plant] which also produces the Chevy Malibu and Impala, allowing us to have some flexibility and run the plant based on how demand fluctuates.
The Bolt has a lot of cool features like the Rear Camera Mirror, low-energy Bluetooth system, and obviously the powertrain. What do you think buyers will be excited about the most?
The one technology that we're expanding upon is called one pedal driving — the ability to put the vehicle into low gear. When you let your foot off the throttle, it immediately starts to decelerate. Then we have a feature that we've trademarked called Regen On Demand, which is a paddle on the steering wheel to increase that regenerative [braking] effect. With the Bolt EV, we've taken it to the next step of actually being able to stop the vehicle without touching the brake pedal. It will actually hold the vehicle in place even at a grade of five percent. Riding in taxi cabs here in New York City, I can imagine that whole gas-to-brake process can be annoying after a while. Being able to drive with one pedal is going to be a cool feature and everyone's going to love that one.

Cobrapost, a non-profit journalism company, is back with another expose which they are claiming "India's biggest financial scam''. Cobrapost last year shed the spotlight on how big media houses were ready to sell Hindutva propaganda as "news''. This year in a press conference held on January 29 in New Delhi, which included Cobrapost editor Aniruddha Bahal, BJP leader Yashwant Sinha, lawyer Prashant Bhushan, IT professional and former AAP member Neil Terrence, journalists Paranjoy Guha Thakurta, and Prem Shankar Jha, they exposed DHFL. DHFL has refuted the claims and filed complaint against the accuser.
The investigative portal alleged that the primary stakeholders of DHFL: Kapil Wadhawan, Dheeraj Wadhawan, and Aruna Wadhawan are all linked to the shell/dubious companies to whom DHFL has disbursed astronomical amounts of grants. They alleged that Wadhawans, with the help of their proxies and associates, had passed the money on to companies controlled by them. Cobrapost has allegedly said that this money was extensively used to buy shares/equity in other countries like the UK, Dubai, Mauritius, and Sri Lanka. Cobrapost editor Aniruddha Bahal alleged that Wadhawans also bought a cricket team in Sri Lanka with this money.
In recent years shell companies have become epidemic scourging the economy of the country. Shell companies are companies without active business operations or significant assets. One can set up these companies for both illegitimate and legitimate purposes. A businessperson can start a shell company to hide laundering of unaccounted money and to circumvent tax payment.
Cobrapost in their report said that DHFL and its primary promoters created numerous shell companies with a nominal capital of Rs 1 lakh and further divided them into smaller groups of 2-4 companies. It further said that most of these companies have the same or alike address and the set of initial directors. These companies interestingly also have the same group of auditors to cover up the financial details of these companies.
Cobrapost claimed that around Rs 21,477 crore of DHFL's funds were transferred into multiple shell companies as loans and investments without any declarations to the Ministry of Corporate Affairs.
According to DHFL's audited financials for 2017-2018, the net worth of the company during the period was Rs 3,795 crore. However, the company has taken cumbersome loans from both Indian and foreign banks as well as financial institutions to the tune of Rs 96,880 crore. The company has secured loans from at least 36 banks in total. Of these banks, State Bank of India has sanctioned nearly Rs 12,000 crore.
The story said that DHFL had given unsecured loans amounting to Rs 10,493 crore to 34 shell companies within the interest of Wadhawan Group. Another 11 companies which fell under Shahana Group have been granted Rs 3,789 crore. Cobrapost alleged that these shell corporations are using loans to help the Wadhawan Group and Shahana Group to convert public funds into private money. The company also claimed that these 34 companies have no business or source of income. It also stated that nearly 35 companies had not filed any charge documents for loans on the MCA website which is mandatory compliance, to hide the name of the lender company. DHFL themselves hid the terms of the loan and terms of repayment in their financial statement.
DHFL refuted the allegations made by the Cobrapost and said that it is regulated by the National Housing Bank (NHB) and the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), among other regulators. It further said that Cobrapost's main intention was to tarnish the goodwill and reputation of DHFL. It also noted that Cobrapost did not provide adequate time to respond to the allegations. Soon after the report by Cobrapost was made public, shares of DHFL took a plunge. On January 30, the company's share fell by 9.73% and touched an intraday low of 153.50 even after management clarification.

I love everything about tiny houses. I love their minimalism. I love their yards. I love their storage hacks. I've even threatened to drop everything and go on a tiny-house tour of the country, but my cat conveyed with one knowing look that he'd miss me too much.
Everything about this backcountry cabin is so simple and beautiful. The minimal decor, cozy furnishings, and spacious deck of Raven House (in Ontario) make it the ideal spot for a quiet vacation at any time of year—just be sure to fire up the woodstove in the winter.
A nice little collection from @dirtandglass of our Run-In Shed!
Bent Apple Farm in Vermont has a number of sweet cabins on their property, including the Run-In Shed, a cozy structure that used to be a horse shed. It's filled with rustic, farm-style decor, including a beautiful old-fashioned woodstove. Plus, the floor-to-ceiling exposed wood finishes are incredibly on-trend—they might just inspire a few home makeovers.
This one-room cabin is so remote that you have to hike to get to it in the winter! The Penner Cabin is located on the Canadian side of Lake Ontario, and it's situated on a beautiful smaller lake that you can see from all of its many windows. Its natural wood finishes and cozy linens lend a homey, welcoming feel to the small escape.
How delightful is this tiny Texas home? The Red Star Cabin is an Airbnb located on a little lake, and its farmhouse decor is incredibly picturesque—every detail is carefully considered, down to the red star on the front of the house. The interior is just as charming as the outside, and it features beautiful picture windows that give you a perfect view of the lake.
This cabin isn't available to rent, but it is available to enjoy through Instagram scrolling. It's nestled in the rolling hills of Turkey, and while the oversized red roof is probably more functional than anything, it's also incredibly endearing. Plus, that dog's pretty cute, too—though I'm not sure my cat would appreciate the company.
Calling all water views. The timber frame Água Norte Cabin, another Airbnb, is located outside of Grand Marais in Minnesota. The interior of the cabin is sparse and relaxing, featuring exposed beams and neutral-toned decor, and the panorama of Lake Superior will take your breath away.
If I ever plan a trip to Zion National Park in Utah, you can bet this storage container cabin will be on my list of places to stay. These Cliffside Cabins are the perfect mix of rustic and modern with their wood-and-metal exteriors, and inside, you'll find all the comforts you need to have an enjoyable getaway, including a small kitchen and full bathroom.
There's no better place to chill out than these beautiful Bird's Nest Cabins in the Pisgah National Forest. The tiny homes are part of the Indigo Retreat, which is specially designed to help you unwind. Based on that porch alone, it looks like that'd be easy.
This cabin looks like something out of a fairytale. The big bay window, stone chimney, elevated base, and snowy exterior make me think of a secret hideaway where a storybook princess would live. Plus, those string lights add a touch of magic—it's the perfect spot to get snowed in.
Imagine waking up to the view from that huge window. Getaway has a number of tiny cabins hidden in the wilderness all across the country, and they all include a comfy bed, stocked kitchen and outdoor fire pit. The modern design of these cabins will thrill any architecture buffs, and the secluded locations help you get away from the hustle and bustle of daily life.
Here's another modern cabin tucked away in the woods. The Dashi Cabin is on 75 acres of private land in Ontario, and it's surrounded by lots of hiking trails, as well as a nearby public beach. In the winter, this cabin is only accessible by hiking, making it an ideal way to escape the grid and cultivate some solitude.
Which tiny cabin do you want to move into ASAP? Let us know in the comments.

The Lions Club of Merrickville has completed their most recent project: a community bandstand in the Blockhouse Park. The project was spearheaded by Merrickville Lions Timothy Molloy and Rod Fournier in 2017 after the club's idea for a community washroom fell through. They decided to reallocate funds and focus on constructing a bandstand in the park to serve the entire community. "We thought it was a project that would be beneficial to the town, but also the people of the town," says Lions Club member Don Ramsay, who took the lead on the project in November 2018.
Through consultations with Parks Canada, the project morphed from a round gazebo to a rectangular pavilion, complete with electricity hook up and lights for concerts and other events. They also used a genuine cedar shake roof in keeping with the heritage of park. "Parks Canada wanted it to blend in with the other buildings," Don says. The Lions also learned that the rectangular shape was preferable for bands, because there are fewer posts to obstruct the view of an audience.
Made out of yellow pine, the parts for the bandstand were made in North Carolina and shipped to Merrickville-Wolford as a kit. Don notes that about fourteen community volunteers put the structure together over three 12-hour days. Most of the people working were over the age of 60.
Local farmer, Kim Weedmark, loaned them a hay wagon, and Lions Club President, Gerry Seguin, contributed a tractor to transport the pieces to the site location. Local business, Satellite Truss, loaned their equipment to the group to get the pieces off the wagon and into place. The concrete slab, electrical hook up, roofing and landscaping were all subbed out to local contractors.
The Lions Club used monies raised through various fundraising initiatives to pay for most of the bandstand; however, the Village of Merrickville-Wolford did contribute $7000 to the project. Although it is on Parks Canada land, the bandstand is the property of the Lions Club, and they are responsible for maintaining it and managing its use. Don says it is available for anyone in the community to use for free. "The idea is to have a covered area [in the park] for bands and other things," Don says. "Anyone can schedule an event, free of charge, at the Lions Club Campground." Parks Canada would still like to be made aware of large and for-profit events in the park that use the bandstand. However, the Lions Club can also help facilitate those conversations.
The completion of the bandstand has come just in time for the Lion Club of Merrickville's 65th anniversary this year. In fact, Mayor Doug Struthers had declared June 29 as Lions Club of Merrickville Day in the municipality to celebrate the signing of their charter on that day in 1954. A celebration and official opening of the bandstand will be held on August 24, 2019.
Don says it is very rewarding to see the bandstand project come to fruition. "[We] wouldn't have been able to accomplish this without the community volunteers," he says. "[The bandstand] will be around hundreds of years from now, I am sure."

The Parador de Zafra, Palace of the Dukes of Feria, occupies a majestic castle with elegant, spacious rooms. Construction on this residence for the dukes of Feria was begun in 1437. The value of the palace is evident in the spectacular façade. It is an ideal location for exploring the historic surroundings and sights in the area. You will be amazed by the magnificent interior, which still contains beautiful coffered ceilings, large chests, ironwork, banisters and other decorative elements from the former palace. Stately, spacious guest rooms, a swimming pool and a beautifully maintained garden round out the Parador's offerings.
Gates in the outside walls lead to the lovely city of Zafra. One of the most beautiful entrances is through Jerez Gate, where narrow Clavel Street will captivate you. Framed by an arch and decorated with tiles, small balconies bedecked with flowers overlook the street, creating the perfect picture postcard. Strolling through Grande and Chica (Big and Small) squares, the shops along Sevilla Street, the collegiate church, and amazing churches such as Candelaria are just some of the attractions in this town, which is also known as La Sevilla Chica (Little Seville).
Come discover this land of Templars and nobles, villages with simple, charming folk, rich in culture and learned in gastronomy.
Zafra is 141 km from Seville and 60 km from Mérida via the Ruta de la Plata (N-630). It is 73 km from Badajoz via the N-432 (Badajoz-Granada). The Parador is located in the city center.

Will Woolworths follow Coles' lead and sell off pokies?
Wed, Mar 13, 9:30am by Staff Writer
Australian supermarket chain Coles last week disposed of its interest in poker machines, leaving competitor Woolworths in its wake.
In a statement issued last week, Coles revealed it signed a deal with Australian Venue Co to no longer control its 87 hotels in Queensland.
The deal is estimated to be worth A$200 million. Currently, approximately 3,000 poker machines are being operated by Coles' Spirit Hotels businesses.
The newly-signed deal would put the Spirit Hotels in the hands of private equity firm KKRs Australian Venue Co, with Coles given the power to manage and benefit from the revenue generated by Vintage Cellars and 243 Liquorland stores, as well as First Choice.
Announcing the joint venture company, Queensland Venue Co, to the Australian Stock Exchange, Coles Group said the structure: "will allow both parties to focus on their core competencies, whilst having joint oversight over the entire operation."
The joint oversight means Coles cannot fully claim to no longer be involved in gaming, though it can accurately claim to no longer be profiting from it.
A Coles spokesperson said: "Spirit Hotels has never been material to Coles' earnings.
Following the transaction, Coles will not receive any earnings from hotel."
Acknowledging the structure, the Coles spokesperson went on to say that: "Coles remains committed to industry best practice in responsible service of alcohol and responsible gaming operations."
The transaction is likely to be completed by the end of the 2019 financial year, subject to regulatory approval and some individual landlord negotiations pending.
Coles said liquor and gaming regulators had been "engaged and indicated they have no objections with the structure."
This Coles deal was commented on by the spokesman for the Alliance for Gambling Reform Tim Costello, who praised the supermarket, retails and consumer services chain for its decision.
Mr Costello further shared his hopes that the new owner, Australian Venue Co, would continue Coles' campaign regarding the introduction of maximum A$1 bets.
In 2017, Woolworths chairman Gordon Cairns cast doubt over the benefits of A$1 pokie limits and questioned whether it would help problem gamblers.
Coles dumps pokies, putting Woolworths under pressure to follow suit https://t.co/FGTBBivZTB
— michaelcollins (@michaelcollins) March 6, 2019
Woolworths the first to introduce pre-commitment system
Woolworths became the first hotel operator in the country to introduce a voluntary pre-commitment system, which provides players with the opportunity to set a maximum time or spending limit on a poker machine.
Mr Costello also insisted that Woolworths needed to follow Coles' lead and divest itself from poker machine ownership.
Australia's supermarkets have faced considerable backlash in recent times from local anti pokie campaigners and shareholders, urging them to dispose of the machines.
Woolworths is currently the largest poker machine operator in Australia, owning more than 12,000 machines operated by its Australian Leisure & Hospitality venture, of which it holds a 75 per cent stake.
The machines are located in 330 pubs across Australia, with Woolworths receiving A$1.6 billion from its hotels and gaming businesses in 2018, according to Casino Guardian.
Coles earned just A$185 million from the machines it owned by comparison.
Management of Coles had repeatedly indicated that it was ethically uncomfortable with the company's 3000-odd poker machine ownership spread among pubs and clubs, when it was owned by Wesfarmers.
Coles' new chief executive Steven Cain was reluctant to agree with this notion, instead declining to repeat the same concerns amid initially talking down the prospect of a short term sale.
Coles reported net half-year profit after tax of $381 million for the six months to December 31, down 29 per cent from the same period a year ago.

This is the world's tiniest species of chameleon, Brookesia micra. Discovered in February on a small island off Madagascar, scientists found the mini lizard, which can perch on a match head, with three other small chameleon species. Adult males grow to only just over 16 millimetres from top to tail, making them one of the smallest vertebrates ever found on Earth.

At several locations in Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows some new pavement markings called "elephant feet" have appeared in recent years. I suspect that few people know what they mean. The markings are confusing, and so is the name. Sometimes they're called "crossbike crossings", which makes their purpose somewhat clearer.
Normally, when cyclists ride on an off-road multi-use path, or a sidewalk - as is allowed in Maple Ridge according to the City's website - cyclists are required to dismount when crossing at a pedestrian crossing. When the crossing has elephant feet markings, they don't need to.
The markings can be placed either on each side of a pedestrian crossing - in which case the crossing is shared with pedestrians - or on one side of it - so that pedestrians and cyclists each have their own crossing.
In Maple Ridge, shared pedestrian/cyclist crossings can be found along 122nd Ave. and Mountainview Crescent (at Maple Ridge Secondary School), along Abernathy Way between 224th and 232nd Streets, and you'll see them in Pitt Meadows when crossing Kennedy Road near Ferry Slip Road close to the Pitt River Bridge. The one in Pitt Meadows is painted green which helps provide clarity that this is a cyclist crossing.
Elephant feet are used for the convenience of cyclists. Having to get off your bike at every intersection is very inconvenient and discourages people from biking. Imagine having to get out of your car at every intersection and having to push it across!
All road users need to be aware of safety issues with these types of crossings. Most car/bike collisions occur at intersections, and the danger increases when cyclists do not bike on the road. Drivers don't expect cyclists to enter an intersection from a sidewalk or off-road path. Often drivers also under-estimate the speed of a cyclist. Both drivers and cyclists need to slow down, and look out for other traffic nearing the intersection and potentially crossing their path, whether going straight or turning.
All the elephant crossings in Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows are along bi-directional multi-use paths, which means that drivers need to be extra cautious and look out for cyclists coming from both directions. Of course the same goes for drivers entering or exiting driveways that cross a multi-use path.
Maple Ridge also has its first "bike boxes", on Laity at the Lougheed intersection. A bike box is a painted green space on the road with a white bicycle symbol inside it. They allow cyclists to position themselves ahead of cars at an intersection. They are meant to reduce collisions between right-turning cars and cyclists going straight, and it also makes it easier for cyclists to make left turns. They also increase visibility of cyclists. What I like about them too is that you don't have to wait behind a car, breathing in its exhaust fumes.
Motorists should of course stop behind the bike box. It's safest for cyclists going south on Laity to continue riding in the middle of the lane once past the intersection until they pass the narrowest section of roadway, so they don't get squeezed against the curb when a car passes too close.
Drivers, please be aware that cyclists riding in the middle of the lane most often do so to stay safe, so your patience and courtesy would be much appreciated. Please help cyclists get home safe and sound!

Q: Search of Nexus | Sonatype isn't working Yesterday I updated the repository nexus that was in version 1.6 to latest version 1.9.2.3, doing merge all the configuration files and picking only other important settings.
Then we did several tests, publishing components, reducing artifacts and everything is working perfectly. The problem is that the search is not working, I try to get all that he can not find, the more the device is there, if I add a dependency that was not there and then he decides to be found in the search.
Has anyone experienced this? I would reindex the artifacts in storege?

A: Sounds like your repository's index needs to be rebuilt.

A: You need to rebuild the indexes when you upgrade to or past 1.7 as noted here: http://nexus.sonatype.org/upgrading-nexus.html

Society that is no longer capable of waiting; we have been conditioned into knowing that what we want can be directly and instantaneously obtainable – we can walk into a fast food 'restaurant' and get a quick fix, we work hourly and daily knowing that we are receiving a direct monetary recompense. This conditioned behavior has led to us having an incredibly myopic vision, a way of thinking whereby the question of 'what if' has been relegated in favour of 'I will do this because I want that'. Clearly this ethos has infiltrated its way into the domain of science, whereby large amounts of public research funding is allocated on the basis of 'when'; not 'if', it will have a socioeconomic impact.
The question on whether or not research should be justified in terms of its socioeconomic impact actually bemuses me in a very simple way; in fact I'm sure it does to most scientists who have a grasp of scientific history. It bemuses me because it has a very obvious underlying fallacy, in that throughout the history of science, theories have been developed through research that people originally thought had no scientific basis, let alone 'socioeconomic impact'. These theories have then gone on, whether immediately or decades later, to fundamentally shift how technology works, our quality of life and most importantly our knowledge of the universe. For example was Copernicus' research into heliocentricity unjustified at the time because it didn't increase the GDP of Prussia?
Now this converges back to my original point about society being myopic in their justification of research, because how is it possible to objectively quantify whether research will be socioeconomically beneficial when we cannot know what, if anything, it will manifest into? We are clearly too fixated on acquiring immediate benefit that we have appeared to forget the true purpose of research, which is the pursuit of knowledge. For generations research has been undertaken to develop the knowledge and understanding of humankind and not to generate some direct socioeconomic benefits, it is particularly clear as well that the more educated and the more we understand about science the more the economy and society benefit. The understanding and development of knowledge we acquire through research is in itself what justifies the research and whether or not it has a socioeconomic benefit is secondary. Unfortunately this altruistic approach to research is not inline with how the capitalistic market forces and the scarcity of resources operate.

Steroid use baseball
When the United States Congress decided that steroid use in baseball had gone too far, Palmeiro was one of the players they called on to testifyin front of Congress, on July 12, 1998. One day a reporter from CNN, Dan Jenkins, interviewed Palmeiro and asked him about the steroids scandal. Palmeiro says Jenkins never showed up, but Jenkins sent a copy to the editor of the St, steroid use baseball. Louis Post-Dispatch, a widely read and influential newspaper for Missourians. One paragraph above the fold, that paragraph read: "Palmeiro says he's a hard worker, hard-drinking, athletic, steroid use bodybuilding side effects." The following day, Jenkins left two more paragraphs under the fold, the last in this line: "Some say he was an irresponsible, 'bad apple' who has since become a model citizen, steroid use enlarged heart., steroid use enlarged heart., steroid use enlarged heart.I'd like to hear about him now." Palmeiro began to tell Jenkins he had not read the other paragraphs, steroid use high school athletes. When Jenkins asked him to read both paragraphs, Palmeiro refused, steroid use for arthritis. Palmeiro was in prison for four months, and he was told that he was being put on trial for perjury. For the next two years, Palmeiro would spend his time in solitary confinement at the Federal Correctional Institution in Jefferson City, Missouri, and would spend many of those years lying to his lawyer about his steroid use, steroid use disorder icd 10. He was finally released in 2009 when a federal judge found him guilty on all three counts to which he was pleading guilty: possession with intent to distribute and distribution. In the three years between his conviction and release from prison, more than half a million people believed he was a liar. He is now a registered sex offender, steroid use for inflammation. There is a lot about the steroid scandal that I do not know. I have spent many hours trying to piece together the picture that Palmeiro painted to the reporter, and to get what the jury thought he told them, steroid use and hair loss. But because of our broken judicial system, it is hard to get these stories right. I do know that Palmeiro was a highly effective spokesman who spoke truth to power, steroid use has little or no effect on. His story was told in print, in the pages of the St, steroid use baseball. Louis Post-Dispatch, in the New York Times, and across the country by television, radio, print and broadcast media, as well as by a vast array of people whose words are now often held up by politicians and the media as the new definition of truth. I also know that there were real problems with the steroid tests performed during the years in which Palmeiro played in the major leagues, and there were problems with Palmeiro's own performance-enhancing drug use, steroid use bodybuilding side effects0.

[Related articles] The steroid cycle The steroid cycle is the most important, if not the most important, of every single phase of steroid abuse. A large number of the steroid users, while using the same drug for the rest of their lives, do not stop using it because they realize how great its benefits are. For many of the steroid users, the only thing that has changed between using the drug every day, and not using the drug any more, is that they have been using it less frequently, steroid relaxer muscle. To use steroids, you have to keep a daily intake of drugs, both of the same and different kinds. As most of the new and first-time steroid users find out, one substance they have on the top of their list for abuse, is human growth hormone (HGH), and that is simply because it improves strength in many kinds of activities, steroid use benefits. HGH will increase the height, muscle mass, and bone density and increase muscularity, which is why it is a major steroid component. Most of the steroid users don't realize it, but HGH is the steroid component that is taken in to a lot of people by mistake, or for which they are not familiar.
Anabolic steroids are used for some medical conditions, but people also use them illegally in some sports settings. In 2003, Florida state attorney Willie Meggs announced that four men had been prosecuted by the state for using steroi

USC faculty member killed in stabbing; student in custody, police say
USC psychology professor Bosco Tjan was identified as the victim of a fatal stabbing on campus on Friday, Dec. 2, 2016. (USC)
A psychology professor was killed in a stabbing at the University of Southern California and a student is in custody, police said.
The school identified the professor as Bosco S. Tjan, who holds a Ph.D. in computer science from the University of Minnesota and has been affiliated with USC since 2001.
Authorities were called to the Seely G. Mudd building on the USC campus in the 3600 block of McClintock Avenue just after 4:30 p.m. Firefighters said they found a 25-year-old man dead at the scene. Police confirmed the man is a school faculty member.
A suspect, identified as a student, was taken into custody at the scene.
Police believe the victim was specifically targeted and no threat is currently present on campus.
Authorities responded to a fatal stabbing on the University of Southern California campus on Friday, Dec. 2, 2016.
A separate, unrelated incident also occurred about an hour later on the USC campus.
The Los Angeles Police Department said officers responded at 5:47 p.m. to a report of a disturbance in the library by a man in his 20s. Police said it was unrelated to the stabbing.
A man sprayed a fire extinguisher in the face of a school alumna inside the Doheny library and was taken into custody according to The Daily Trojan.

Q: How to get started node-soap I try to make soap-server with node.js using node-soap.
I have wsdl like
<definitions name="HelloService"
   targetNamespace="http://www.examples.com/wsdl/HelloService.wsdl"
   xmlns="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/"
   xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/soap/"
   xmlns:tns="http://www.examples.com/wsdl/HelloService.wsdl"
   xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">

   <message name="SayHelloRequest">
    <part name="firstName" type="xsd:string"/>
   </message>
   <message name="SayHelloResponse">
    <part name="greeting" type="xsd:string"/>
   </message>

   <portType name="Hello_PortType">
    <operation name="sayHello">
       <input message="tns:SayHelloRequest"/>
       <output message="tns:SayHelloResponse"/>
    </operation>
   </portType>

   <binding name="Hello_Binding" type="tns:Hello_PortType">
   <soap:binding style="rpc"
    transport="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/http"/>
   <operation name="sayHello">
    <soap:operation soapAction="sayHello"/>
    <input>
       <soap:body
        encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"
        namespace="urn:examples:helloservice"
        use="encoded"/>
    </input>
    <output>
       <soap:body
        encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"
        namespace="urn:examples:helloservice"
        use="encoded"/>
    </output>
   </operation>
   </binding>

   <service name="Hello_Service">
    <documentation>WSDL File for HelloService</documentation>
    <port binding="tns:Hello_Binding" name="Hello_Port">
       <soap:address
        location="http://localhost:8000/wsdl">
    </port>
   </service>
</definitions>

and my code
var http = require('http');
var soap = require('soap');
var helloService = {
  Hello_Service: {
    Hello_Port: {
      SayHelloRequest: function(args) {
        return {
          firstName: args.name
        };
      }
    }
  }
}
var xml = require('fs').readFileSync('HelloService.wsdl', 'utf8'),
      server = http.createServer(function(request,response) {
          response.end("404: Not Found: "+request.url)
      });
server.listen(8000);
soap.listen(server, '/wsdl', helloService, xml);

and I put them in same directory but got error
/nodejs_ws_demo/node_modules/soap/lib/wsdl.js:937
        throw new Error(p.getError());
              ^
Error: mismatched tag
How do I fix it.

A: in addition to vinayr's answer, change the function to
var helloService = {
  Hello_Service: {
    Hello_Port: {
      sayHello: function(args) {
        return {
          greeting: "Hello!!!"
        };
      }
    }
  }
}

fix this in your code (method name and output parameter in your code is wrong).
sayHello is a soapAction in wsdl file:
<soap:operation soapAction="sayHello"/>

OP's code returns:
<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:tns="http://www.examples.com/wsdl/HelloService.wsdl">
   <soap:Body>
      <soap:Fault>
         <soap:Code>
            <soap:Value>SOAP-ENV:Server</soap:Value>
            <soap:Subcode>
               <soap:value>InternalServerError</soap:value>
            </soap:Subcode>
         </soap:Code>
         <soap:Reason>
            <soap:Text>TypeError: method is not a function</soap:Text>
         </soap:Reason>
      </soap:Fault>
   </soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>

A: There is an error in your wsdl file. soap tag is not closed.
<soap:address
        location="http://localhost:8000/wsdl"/>

A: Just for newbies the same as I am with Node.js...
Add the JS code to index.js and run npm init -y followed by npm install soap -s.
I'd suggest also to add a callback to soap.listen like this:
soap.listen(server, '/wsdl', helloService, xml, function() {
    console.log('server initialized');
});

Testing
if you want to test (e.g using SoapUI), WSDL is available on http://localhost:8000/wsdl?wsdl)
Request
(generated by SoapUI)
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:urn="urn:examples:helloservice">
   <soapenv:Header/>
   <soapenv:Body>
      <urn:sayHello soapenv:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/">
         <firstName xsi:type="xsd:string">Betlista</firstName>
      </urn:sayHello>
   </soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>

Response
If implementation changed to
  sayHello: function(args) {
    console.log("%j", args);
    return {
      greeting: "Hello " + args.firstName.$value + "!!!"
    };
  }

<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:tns="http://www.examples.com/wsdl/HelloService.wsdl">
   <soap:Body>
      <tns:sayHelloResponse>
         <tns:greeting>Hello Betlista!!!</tns:greeting>
      </tns:sayHelloResponse>
   </soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>

log
$ node .
server initialized
args: {"attributes":{"soapenv:encodingStyle":"http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"},"firstName":{"attributes":{"xsi:type":"xsd:string"},"$value":"Betlista"}}

so in args we received
{
    "attributes": {
        "soapenv:encodingStyle": "http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"
    },
    "firstName": {
        "attributes": {
            "xsi:type": "xsd:string"
        },
        "$value": "Betlista"
    }
}


We support scientists in improving their communication and outreach.
We offer workshops in communication skills at professional meetings and labs, and assistance in preparing accessible materials for non-scientists. Below you can find examples of some of the work we've done.
This write-up of a March 2015 workshop conducted by Director Susan Hassol and Science Advisor Michael Mann at Virginia Tech, illustrates what a day-long Climate Communication workshop looks like, addressing framing, messaging, social media, public talks, and media training, and offering lots of opportunities for practice.
In 2014, 2015, and 2016, Susan was an instructor at communications training events for several Regional Climate Science Centers around the country, including the Northwest Climate Science Center's Climate Bootcamp and the South Central Climate Science Center's Early Career Researcher Workshop. Susan also spoke at a workshop for Fellows of the Southeast Climate Science Center and led a media training sponsored by that Center for senior scientists from across the state of North Carolina.
In addition to scientists, in 2015 Susan spoke on climate communication to public health professionals in St. Paul Minnesota for Ramsey County, and in 2016, she delivered a keynote address to transportation professionals in Denver for the Colorado Department of Transportation. She gave another keynote talk at UNC Chapel Hill's Climate Change Symposium in which she addressed recent advancements in our understanding of the science of climate communication.
In March 2013, Susan conducted a national webinar for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration staff and affiliates, providing tools and tips about communicating climate change to the public.
In February 2013, Susan went to Washington DC for Climate Science Day on Capitol Hill, where she addressed scientists on communicating climate change to their representatives.
In December 2013, Susan, Science Director Richard Somerville, and photographer James Balog of Chasing Ice conducted a panel on communicating climate change at the fall Meeting of the American Geophysical Union (AGU).
In May 2012, Susan traveled to Woods Hole to work with scientists at the Woods Hole Research Center, Marine Biological Lab, and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute and gave a lecture, led a roundtable with communications staff, and led a workshop on communications. She also gave a talk at the University of Arizona in March 2012, as the plenary speaker for the U of A's School of Earth and Environmental Sciences' EarthWeek 2012.
In April 2012, Susan, along with Aaron Huertas of the Union of Concerned Scientists, led a webinar on "Bridging the Gap in Public Understanding of Climate Change: What Can Scientists Do?" to an audience of several hundred scientists nation-wide.
In January 2012, Susan spoke via videoconference to a NOAA workshop in Maryland focusing on science communication. The workshop was conducted by NOAA and the Chesapeake Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve.
Susan and Richard have led several workshops on climate science communication at the annual meeting of AGU — one in December 2011, the other in 2010 (see photo above taken at the 2010 meeting). They also led workshops for the Climate Science Rapid Response Team.
In November 2011, Susan gave an invited seminar at the National Center for Atmospheric Research on "Improving Scientists' Communication of Climate Change" sponsored by Women Organizing Research and Leading Science.
Susan and Richard led climate communication workshops at NASA Langley in November 2011, and at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in March 2011. Susan and Richard both acted as mentors for early career PhD scientists during the week-long DISCCRS VI Seminar (Dissertations Initiative for the Advancement of Climate Change Research) in October 2011.
Susan gave a talk at the 2009 AGU meeting called "Communicating With Congress (and Everyone Else)". This visual mural was created during her talk by Julie Stuart of Making Ideas Visible. The mural was posted in the lobby of the Moscone Center throughout the AGU conference.

Winston Pierce
An advanced student now
Thu Jan 17, 2019 09:48
Winston was eager for new school year. The Pecari had graduated, leaving only The Aladren to give him problems in Quidditch and she (he was pretty sure she was a she) had almost no shot at being named Captain, so she was a much lesser problem than The Pecari had been. In fact, Winston had hopes of being the new Captain. Really, the only person he thought might have a slight advantage due to age was Lily. And while he still didn't like Lily all that much, he could play with her and she had earned a bit of grudging respect in regards to her Quidditch abilities from him over the last year of being first string Chasers together. So it wouldn't be the end of the world if she got Captain this year instead of him, but that wasn't going to stop him hoping for it.
The other good thing about the Pecari being gone was his departure meant Winston and his sister were the sole Pierces left in the school, and so neither of the disreputable branches had a presence here sullying the name anymore.
The feast began. Winston had little interest in the first years. Simon had a cousin in the group, but the boy was enough younger that Winston did not expect to run into him much, even if he got into Crotalus. Prefects were likewise immaterial, as his chance had passed. Except . . . what was Amelia doing up there? Oh, no fifth year Aladrens. Pity it wasn't Crotalus with that problem. Winston was still a little angry at the staff for picking Victor as the most suited out of the three of them.
Victor hadn't even gotten Most Representative of Crotalus.
And now the Headmaster was having the prefects plan the concert act to represent Crotalus? Pfft. It should have been Winston wearing that badge. Winston represented Crotalus better. The yearbook said so.
He supposed he could volunteer to help anyway. That would look good for this spring's Head Boy vote.
Huh, another new Coach? Well, Timothy Kinsell was a better known name in the Quidditch world that Patricia Reilly, though Winston wasn't sure he'd ever heard of him coaching before. Well, he was probably still an improvement. Coach Reilly had appointed The Pecari as captain, after all.
Good riddance to both of them.
Winston sang the school song with reasonable skill, feeling more confident in the lyrics and melody now that he'd been here so long and was more familiar with both. He didn't have an amazing signing voice, but he'd had a little musical training before he'd begun at Sonora so he wasn't going to embarrass himself at least.
Then there was food. Winston was sixteen and it had been hours since his last meal. He was starving and the heaping piles he moved onto his plate reflected this. Nothing too unhealthy, of course, he didn't want to risk getting out of shape so soon before try-outs, but he desperately needed nourishment before he wasted away.
Once he had taken his first bite, and thoroughly chewed and swallowed it, he turned to make polite conversation with his neighbor. "Did you have a good summer?" he asked the requisite question after a long break. It was etiquette, not lack of creativity, he reassured himself.
