BMW Renews The Series 3 Gran Turismo
Leave a Comment on BMW Renews The Series 3 Gran Turismo
I do not want to fire the fallen tree and I do not want to offend anyone, but the acronym GT in BMW has never been very successful visually speaking. I do not know what you would think but the 5 Series GT was unorthodox in aesthetic terms. Yes, okay, I am aware that they are very practical cars, with a large access door to the trunk, something more generous battle and everything you want, but aesthetics sends…
BMW 3 Series GT 2017
After the Series 5 GT arrived the Series 3 GT, a model that was placed between what was being the body saloon and the touring. If you wanted something more pulling a saloon but that was more practical than a Touring you had to go to a GT and the truth is that in versatility and space, had no rival in the Series 3. Interestingly, a Series 3 GT has more space in the rear seats than a Series 5.
The strongest markets are China, Germany and the USA. UU. In Germany, almost one of every six BMW 3 Series vehicles sold is a Gran Turismo.
To focus on, compared to the BMW 3 Series Touring, the BMW 3 Series Gran Turismo is 200 millimeters longer and its wheelbase is 110 millimeters greater. In addition, the model is 81 millimeters higher. These dimensions make the BMW 3 Series GT the most livable Series 3 without giving up a standard aesthetic. Under the large rear hood is the boot, which offers a volume of between 520 and 1600 liters and great variability.
As if it were a BMW 3 Series "limousine", this new length has repercussions in a greater space for the rear seats that now is huge. In addition, the large electric tailgate similar to that of the BMW 4 Series Gran Coupé makes the model the most versatile Series 3 today.
Being a better restyling we go in parts:
The renewed BMW 3 Series Gran Turismo is available from July 2016.
The model now equips the new standard LED headlamps for dipped beam and long light, as well as the LED fog lights. The rear view also comes with a more energetic look thanks to a later LED driver.
The redesigned rear skirt and the increase in the diameter of the final exhaust pipes are the icing on the back.

Quality is improved with shiny black surfaces and galvanized and chrome details.
Customization is reinforced with the Sport Line, Luxury Line and M Sport models.
Two new exterior colors are added, three new tire designs and more selection possibilities in upholstery and interior trim.
The latest version of the Professional navigation system arrives. The representation of the most important positions of the menu in the form of mosaic of clear layout makes the operation even more intuitive.
In total there are 1 8 variants of engine, gearbox and drive of the BMW 3 Series Gran Turismo.
Gasoline engines: all new generation gasoline engines reduce consumption by up to 14 percent. The 4-cylinder engines are used for the first time in the BMW 320i Gran Turismo with 135 kW / 184 hp (combined fuel consumption: 6.4-6.1 l / 100 km, combined CO2 emissions: 146-139 g / km) and in the BMW 330i Gran Turismo with 185 kW / 252 hp (combined fuel consumption: 6.2-5.9 l / 100 km,
Combined CO2 Emissions: 141-134 g / km). Another innovation is the fully-aluminum group with six cylinders of the BMW 340i Gran Turismo, with a power of 240 kW / 326 hp (combined fuel consumption: 7.3-7.0 l / 100 km; combined CO2 emissions: 166 -159 g / km).
Diesel engines: The new 325d Gran Turismo equips the 4 cylinder engine with two liters of displacement and multi-stage load with two turbochargers has a power of 165 kW / 224 hp and is offered as standard with Steptronic (combined fuel consumption: 5, 0-4.7 l / 100 km, combined CO2 emissions: 131-124 g / km). The rest of the new 4-cylinder diesel engines are already used in the BMW 3 Series Gran Turismo since the model update of the BMW 3 Series Sedan and Touring in the summer of 2015. In total there are five diesel groups of between 110 kW / 150 hp and 230 kW / 313 hp in the program (combined fuel consumption: 5.7-4.3 l / 100 km combined CO2 emissions: 151-112 g / km).
BMW 3 Series GT 2017 16
All the mechanics are diesel or gasoline can equip total traction xDrive.
Integration of mobile phones via Bluetooth in the BMW 3 Series Gran Turismo comes standard. Now, by means of an inductive base, the suitable smartphones can be loaded optionally also wirelessly and connected to the outside antenna. This equipment also contains a WLAN access point and a second USB connection on the center console.

I think about that sometimes, too. My nine year old always says he's going to become a mail man and get on the route with our house on it so he can stop here for lunch every day. I really hope he still feels that way when he's an adult.
I think all family's will have arguments or disagreements at times. Hopefully they will make up, we always do in my family. I wish also that my children will always be able to get along and be there for each other throughout life.
I don't like any of my 3 siblings and they don't like me. We I'll be civil to each other at family gatherings, but that's as far as it goes. Though they all get along fine. I just dint agree with their lifestyles. I am not even friends with them on Facebook. If my girls decide not to communicate with each other in the future, I will be sad, but will respect their decision. Just because we were born into the same family does not require us to all get along.
I get along ok with my brothers, but it's hard for three Alpha males to be in the same room for more than 15 minutes without some kind of fuss breaking out. Maybe that's why we all have wives who are calm and conciliatory.
I am with Theresa. While I get along well with my younger sister, the elder one and I just tolerate each other's presence! My boys used to squabble a lot when they were younger but now I can see they are getting close.
dont get me started... that is in a whole new line of talks that i dont think there is enough words for.
I have three sisters and one brother. I'm super close to all but one sister and that's because she's extremely hard to be around. I'm very close to my nieces and nephews, aunts and uncles. There is the chance your boys won't get along when they are older but don't let it worry you. I have two teenage sons who hated each other when they were younger. They found reasons to fight with each other. Although they're not the best of buds now, they've evolved and speak to each other all the time. They even have each other's backs, including secrets.

Overuse and Dead Arm Syndrome
This article will discuss overhand throwing motions in three groups of baseball players. The youth athlete, the adolescent near collegiate age athlete, and the collegiate age and professional level athlete.
We have seen many parents of youth athletes who come into our clinics with a deep medical file and deep frustration by the "lack of progress," their child is making in returning to their sport.
The important point for the pitcher to remember is that pain is your body telling you that something is wrong. The time to get treatment is not when your shoulder finally goes out, but when the pain first starts. Shoulder problems either manifest as shoulder pain or weakness. A pitcher feeling weak requires shoulder examination. Pain and/or weakness are common signs of ligament weakness. Ligament weakness in the shoulder will almost always lead to a rotator cuff tendonitis. If this is not treated, the rotator cuff muscles will give out, putting even more stress and strain on the ligaments. Eventually shoulder instability develops.
A natural consequence of weakened or injured shoulder ligaments is chronic shoulder instability. This situation may occur as a result of previous Shoulder Dislocations, but may also occur due to congenitally loose joints or from repetitive motion injury as in pitching. Repetitive microtrauma, occurring as a direct result of these injuries, begins to take its toll on the supporting structures of the shoulder and disrupts the delicate balance between mobility and stability. Subtle signs of joint instability and laxity become evident, including pain with abduction and external rotation (called a Positive Apprehension Test), tenderness to palpation throughout the shoulder joint, and the subjective feeling of weakness in the arm (Dead Arm Syndrome).

Preventing dead arm and overuse injuries in youth baseball players starts with preventing overuse
Research: Why do "youth pitchers remain at high risk for shoulder and elbow overuse injuries despite well-established recommendations on pitch count limits?"
Pitch count controversies in adolescent and youth baseball programs
A recent study in the Journal of pediatric orthopedics (Nov/Dec 2018) looked into why "youth pitchers remain at high risk for shoulder and elbow overuse injuries despite well-established recommendations on pitch count limits."(1) What the researchers looked at was the coach's compliance.
Sixty one (61) youth baseball coaches in surrounding suburban areas outside 2 separate Midwestern metropolitan cities were asked to answer an anonymous 13-question survey.
The majority of coaches reported:
coaching male athletes (89%, 54 of 61 coaches)
primarily between the ages of 11 to 12 years (51%, 31 of 61 coaches).
A total of 56% (34 of 61 coaches) reported "always" keeping track of pitch counts
however, 92% (56 of 61 coaches) reporting not keeping track of pitches based on established recommendations by the American Sports Medicine Institute,
56% were noncompliant with age appropriate pitch count recommendations as established by the 2006 US Baseball Medical and Safety Advisory Committee.
Only 13% (8 of 61 coaches) were able to correctly identify risk factors for overuse injuries while acknowledging the necessity of off-season strengthening.
Thirty-eight percent (23 of 61 coaches) of coaches reported sitting out an athlete because of overuse injury, with the highest rates found in those coaching the youngest (8U and younger) and oldest (U17 and older) age groups.
Nine of 61 coaches, 15% were noncompliant with age-based recommendations against throwing breaking pitches.
CONCLUSIONS: "Knowledge regarding pitch count guidelines established to prevent overuse injuries to the shoulder and elbow in youth pitchers remains deficient in the group of coaches surveyed."
"The MRI findings in asymptomatic MLB pitchers do not appear to be related to near future placement on the DL. However, there was a significant difference in numbers of innings pitched between pitchers who had an RCT (Rotator Cuff Tear) and those who did not and a moderate correlation between innings pitched and the presence of RCT as well as the presence of labral lesions. This finding supports the notion that Rotator Cuff Tear and labral injury in pitchers may result from repetitive overhead motion with subsequent strain on the rotator cuff tendons and glenoid labrum. Asymptomatic shoulder lesions in professional baseball pitchers appear to be more frequent than previously thought."1
What the research says is that the frequency of tears in the shoulder in pitchers reporting no pain – is greater than they thought.
Rotator Cuff Tendonitis and Dead Arm Syndrome
A secondary problem to chronic shoulder instability is Rotator Cuff Tendonitis (RCT). Rotator cuff tendonitis may occur when the muscles of the rotator cuff, which include the supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor, and subscapularis, are overworked causing the tendon to become inflamed and painful. The more common scenario of RCT occurs when a chronically unstable shoulder forces the muscles of the shoulder, especially the rotator cuff muscles and tendon, to work beyond their capabilities to stabilize the shoulder as it moves through its complex pitching motions. These small rotator cuff muscles were not designed to stabilize the shoulder or perform the major work in shoulder motion, but instead should function to perform shoulder rotation. Chronic ligamentous instability can lead to rotator cuff tendonitis, but the treatment of Prolotherapy can treat both the instability and the secondary tendonitis that follows.
Prolotherapy treats the root cause of shoulder instability and rotator cuff tendonitis not only by strengthening the rotator cuff tendons, but also correcting the shoulder ligament weakness.
Rotator Cuff Tendonitis and Impingement Syndrome Rotator cuff tendonitis occurs when the small muscles of the rotator cuff, the supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor, and subscapularis, become strained causing weakness of these structures and subsequent tendonitis. Once the balance between motion and joint stability is altered through weakness in the static structures (ligaments) or the dynamic structures (rotator cuff muscles), pain and impaired function will invariably ensue. Pitchers are prone to rotator cuff tendonitis and impingement syndrome because of the overhead movement involved in throwing a baseball and because the rotator cuff, in this position, is at its most vulnerable.
Common treatment for rotator cuff tendonitis and impingement syndrome by traditional medical doctors includes rest, NSAIDS (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs), physical therapy, and cortisone injections. Because a cortisone injection has very strong anti-inflammatory properties, it may reduce the swelling in the tendon and bursa, relieving the symptoms. These treatments may temporarily help, but since the underlying cause has not been addressed the problem invariably returns. Degenerative fraying and tearing of the tendon may occur if constant irritation of the tendon occurs from the impingement process over time. The best way to treat this unresolved process is with Prolotherapy treatments to the ligaments and tendinous insertions of the rotator cuff and deltoid. This, combined with gradual re-strengthening of the rotator cuff muscles, give an excellent chance for a full recovery and performance.
If the rotator cuff tear has become large enough to produce profound weakness in the shoulder, shoulder surgery may be necessary and Prolotherapy can be used as a post-operative treatment to improve tissue strength and overall recovery.

Pay Homage to the Kennedys by Ordering a Drink at Elm Street Cask & Kitchen in July
The Front Room Now Has Tim Bevins, the Man Behind Dallas' Best Roast Chicken, at the Helm
Scott Reitz
Scott Reitz | August 28, 2013 | 1:00pm
If you've dined lately at the Front Room, the "Park Cities Diner" shoehorned into the Lumen Hotel that flanks SMU, you may have noticed a significant shift in the menu. Chef Nick Amoriello left the restaurant earlier this summer. He's been replaced by Tim Bevins, who spent time producing the best roast chicken Dallas has ever seen at Craft, before it closed in the W Hotel.
The current menu is a place holder. There's a burger and a shrimp roll and a roasted chicken, alongside simple but carefully prepared appetizers that will get your salivary glands working. In a few weeks the restaurant will close, however, and a renovation that will last at least two weeks (plans are still being finalized) will transform the old Front Room into a brand new fine-dining restaurant.
The move is spurred by a transition of the restaurant from the Kimpton Hotels, which manages the hotel, to Consilient, which owns Hibiscus, Fireside Pies and other popular Dallas area restaurants.
Since hotel guests have to eat, Consilient plans to set up a temporary, pop-up restaurant in the lobby, while the renovations are underway. When they're done, the Park Cities will have a brand new dining space, and if Tim Bevins' temporary menu is any indication of what he plans to stand up permanently, the food will turn some heads.

Delta variant will cause US Covid surges, Fauci says, as poll reveals vaccine resistance | Coronavirus
The US will soon see surges in cases of the highly infectious Delta variant of Covid-19 in areas where vaccination rates are low, Anthony Fauci has predicted, calling resistance to vaccination "sad" and "tragic".
Such resistance is particularly strong among Republicans: a Washington Post-ABC News poll released on Sunday found that 86% of Democrats but only 45% of Republicans have received at least one shot.
The same poll found that a third of adults who had not had a shot said they would not or probably would not get one. Of those respondents, nearly three-quarters said officials like Fauci were exaggerating the risk posed by the Delta variant. A little more than three-quarters believed they had little or no risk of contracting Covid-19.
The Biden administration continues to tout the success of its vaccination campaign, with 66.8% of US adults having received at least one dose by 1 July and 54.6% of all Americans having received at least one.
But a target of 70% of adults with at least one shot by 4 July was expected to be missed and more than 605,000 have died. On Sunday, the administration was set to hold a Fourth of July celebration at the White House, with close to a thousand guests. Unvaccinated guests were told they needed to wear a mask – but there was no mandate in place.
Fauci, Joe Biden's chief medical adviser, has served seven presidents since 1984 as head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. He spoke to NBC's Meet the Press.
For goodness' sakes, put aside all of those differences and realise that the common enemy is the virus
Asked if the Delta variant was more lethal than others and if he was concerned it could cause a spike in cases as society reopens, he said: "I don't think you're going to be seeing anything nationwide, because fortunately we have a substantial proportion of the population vaccinated. So it's going to be regional."
Fauci, 80, also said Americans could be confused as Delta cases rise.
"We're going to see … almost two types of America," he said. "You know, those regions of America which are highly vaccinated and we have a low level of dynamics of infection. And in some places, some states, some cities, some areas, where the level of vaccination is low and the level of virus dissemination is high – that's where you're going to see the spikes."
Asa Hutchinson, the Republican governor of Arkansas, a state facing a possible "third surge" of Covid cases, told CNN's State of the Union "the solution is the vaccinations" and said his state was doing well in protecting senior citizens.
But, he added, "in a rural state, a conservative state, there is hesitancy and you're trying to overcome it. We got the early vaccinations out … our cases went down dramatically and that slows the vaccination rate, the urgency diminishes and now it's picking up again."
Hutchinson said he would concentrate on working with employers to boost vaccination rates.
Fauci told NBC that of nearly 10,000 US deaths in June, "about 99.2% are unvaccinated. About 0.8% are vaccinated. No vaccine is perfect. But when you talk about the avoidability of hospitalisation and death, it's really sad and tragic that most of these are avoidable and preventable.
"… Obviously there are going to be some people, because of the variability among people and their response to vaccine, that you'll see some who are vaccinated and still get into trouble and get hospitalised and die. But the overwhelming proportion of people who get into trouble are the unvaccinated. Which is the reason why we say this is really entirely avoidable and preventable."
Elsewhere, the director of the National Institutes of Health, Francis Collins, told Politico resistance to vaccines among evangelical Christians was "heartbreaking".
"It's heartbreaking that it's come to this over something that is potentially lifesaving and yet has been so completely colored over by political views and conspiracies that it's impossible to have a simple loving conversation with your flock," said Collins, himself a devout Christian.
"That is a sad diagnosis of the illness that afflicts our country, and I'm not talking about Covid-19. I'm talking about polarisation, tribalism even within what should be the loving community of a Christian church."
On NBC, Fauci was asked about this "clear political divide". Calling the coronavirus a "formidable enemy", he said: "We do have a countermeasure that's highly, highly effective, that's the reason why it's all the more sad and all the more tragic why it isn't being completely implemented in this country.
"And whatever the reasons, some of them are ideologic, some of them are just fundamentally anti-vax or anti-science or what have you. But, you know, we just need to put that aside now. We're dealing with a historic situation with this pandemic. And we do have the tools to counter it. So for goodness' sakes, put aside all of those differences and realise that the common enemy is the virus."
Fauci also addressed worldwide vaccine shortages, saying: "We in our country are very fortunate. We have enough vaccines to vaccinate essentially everybody in the country. And there are people throughout the world who would do anything to get vaccines."
On Saturday, Dame Sarah Gilbert, an Oxford professor who led development of the AstraZeneca vaccine, told the Observer moves to vaccinate children in richer countries should be balanced against the need to extend access to adults worldwide.
Jeff Zients, the White House coronavirus coordinator, told CNN the US would "be ready with supply, so that once or if the FDA authorises vaccines for children, we are ready to have the supplies to help state and local officials and pediatricians, apply those shots in arms".
Zients also said the administration would "double down on our efforts to vaccinate millions of Americans across July and August".

To work out the decline in value of depreciating assets you held before 1 July 2001, you generally use the same cost, effective life and method that you were using under the former law.
The undeducted cost of the asset at 30 June 2001 becomes its opening adjustable value at 1 July 2001.
You work out the undeducted cost of the asset under the former depreciation rules. It is the asset's cost less the depreciation for the asset up to 30 June 2001, assuming that you used it wholly for producing assessable income.
For a spectrum licence, a depreciating asset that is an item of intellectual property and certain depreciating assets used in mining, quarrying or minerals transport, the opening adjustable value at 1 July 2001 is the amount of unrecouped expenditure for the asset at 30 June 2001. These assets do not have an undeducted cost under the former rules.
Special transitional rules apply to plant for which you used accelerated rates of depreciation before 1 July 2001 or could have used accelerated rates had you used the plant, or had it installed ready for use, for producing assessable income before that day. These rules ensure that accelerated rates continue to apply under the UCA - see Accelerated depreciation.


National Rifle Association (NRA) spokesperson Dana Loesch on Thursday argued that building untraceable 3D-printed guns is a legitimate hobby like knitting.
During an interview on Fox & Friends, Loesch attacked elected officials who want to ban blueprints for plastic guns that can be 3D printed in the privacy of one's home.
Loesch also slammed gun safety proponents for suggesting that 3D-printed guns are undetectable.
"Why do you want a 3D printer?" Fox News co-host Steve Doocy wondered.

Chairman Schiff Opening Statement During Hearing on the Politicization of Intelligence at DHS
by YubaNet October 3, 2020 October 5, 2020
Washington, DC, October 2, 2020 – Today, Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA), the Chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, delivered an opening statement during an open hearing regarding politicization of intelligence at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) with Joseph B. Maher, the Senior Official Performing the Duties of the Under Secretary for Intelligence and Analysis (I&A).
The opening statement, as delivered, is below:
The Department of Homeland Security, and today's witness—Mr. Joseph Maher, who leads DHS' Office of Intelligence and Analysis— left the Committee no choice but to issue a subpoena on Tuesday for his appearance at this hearing today. The Department has persistently slow-walked security clearance requests from attorneys needed to represent their client, Mr. Brian Murphy — a lawful whistleblower and the former acting head of a I&A, an Intelligence Community element — in proceedings before the Committee. The Committee repeatedly offered to DHS that it would withdraw this subpoena if the Department authorized the attorney security clearances in time for often rescheduled Mr. Murphy's deposition today. Unfortunately, DHS refused to do so.
On August 3—amid public reporting of American citizens being snatched off the streets of Portland by law enforcement officials from the Department of Homeland Security—this Committee launched an investigation into serious allegations that DHS's Intelligence and Analysis office—or I&A—an element of our nation's Intelligence Community—may also have played a part in the apparent abuses documented in Portland.
The specter of domestic surveillance activities by the nation's intelligence apparatus which is supposed to be focused outside the country, has set off alarm bells.
Soon after the Committee began its review, additional serious and credible allegations emerged that senior officials at DHS had engaged in efforts to politicize intelligence assessments and reports produced by I&A—and so the Committee expanded its investigation to examine whether DHS's intelligence unit had withheld intelligence reporting about Russian interference in our elections, and sought to downplay the threat posed by white supremacist violence.
Our investigation is still in its early stages, but already the Trump Administration has engaged in the now-familiar strategy of obstruction. Despite those efforts, over the past two months, a deeply disturbing picture has come into sharper focus. Time and again, DHS's Office of Intelligence and Analysis faced pressure by the Trump Administration to deploy its resources in a way to politically benefit the President of the United States and his reelection campaign, at the expense of our national security.
Specifically, the Committee has information that:
Trump Administration officials sought to influence the production of election threat intelligence by elevating and emphasizing activity by China and Iran, despite acute, ongoing interference operations by Russia. The Committee has also learned that DHS leaders sought to influence the production of classified and unclassified intelligence assessments related to foreign threats to our election by encouraging I&A to report more on China, even though the Intelligence Community's public statements indicate that only Russia is engaged in active measures to denigrate one candidate and support another—and sway the outcome of the Presidential election. Treating these three actors of differing intent and capability—Russia, China, and Iran—as equal threats to our election creates a false equivalency. It dilutes the fact that the most significant threat to our election is, in fact, from Russia, which is aggressively seeking to denigrate Vice President Biden and boost President Trump. These politicized changes did nothing to serve our national security, but would serve to avoid embarrassing the President with a focus on the dangerous facts of Russia's interference on behalf of his campaign.
Similarly, DHS officials have sought to modify the unclassified Homeland Threat Assessment, which has yet to be released to this day. Specifically, the Committee has learned that senior DHS officials have pressed for the Assessment to elevate the threat to our election posed by China and Iran, which would have the effect of misleading the American public but again bolster efforts by the Administration to downplay the severity of the most significant and active foreign election threat coming from Russia.
The Committee has also confirmed that DHS's I&A sent personnel to Portland at the height of DHS's response to protests in the city, and that I&A—as an element of the Intelligence Community—was asked to engage in activity that raises profound civil liberties concerns. Specifically, the Committee has learned that I&A participated in questioning protestors who were detained by other DHS officers and issued intelligence reports on reporters. We have learned that the Federal Protective Service—another component of DHS—seized phones from protestors and asked I&A—a member of the Intelligence Community—to extract data from those phones. Thankfully, that request appears not to have been ultimately fulfilled. I&A's presence and activities in Portland were also in service of the President's preferred "law and order" narrative for which he deployed the federal government in response to domestic protests in an effort to benefit himself politically.
The Committee is also examining allegations that DHS officials sought to modify assessments related to domestic security threats, in service of President Trump's preferred narrative that "antifa" and so-called "left-wing anarchists" are the most important domestic threat. This is despite evidence to the contrary and testimony just last week by FBI Director Chris Wray that white supremacist violence now makes up a significant share of domestic terrorism. And this is in the wake of the President's refusal to fully and forcefully condemn white supremacists.
It is a very dark hour when some of the leadership in our intelligence agencies is commandeered into the service of a President's desired political narrative, rather than speaking truth to power.
This isn't the first time the Intelligence Community has been used to serve political interests of the person in the Oval Office. Forty-five years ago, the Church and Pike Committees in Congress investigated the abuses of another corrupt Administration—abuses that included not only secret attempts to assassinate foreign leaders, but also efforts by our Intelligence Community to spy on Americans exercising their constitutional rights by monitoring their political activities. 1975 seems like a long time ago, but some of those abuses seem all too familiar today.
The Church and Pike Committees produced a series of recommendations, including to create standing permanent congressional committees that would act as a check on the Intelligence Community. These committees are a direct outgrowth of Richard Nixon's abuse of the Intelligence Community. Our job today, and every day on this Committee, is to ensure that those abuses do not happen again. That is why we have called you here to testify, Mr. Maher.
Joseph Maher is the current Senior Official Performing the Duties of the Under Secretary, Office of Intelligence and Analysis at the Department of Homeland Security.
Mr. Maher is here pursuant to a subpoena issued by the Committee earlier this week. The Committee did not wish to subpoena Mr. Maher, but it became necessary when DHS continued to slow-walk the security clearance for Mr. Murphy's attorney. Mr. Maher, the Committee always expects hearing witnesses to answer its Members' questions—but today, the issuance of the subpoena compels you to answer them, fully and completely.
In opening our investigation on August 3, the Committee requested a series of documents from the Department, including finished intelligence and raw intelligence reports produced by I&A. On August 19, we requested additional documents, as well as testimony from senior DHS I&A officials. On September 9, the Committee released a whistleblower complaint filed by your immediate predecessor, the former head of DHS's Intelligence and Analysis office, Brian Murphy, who alleged serious misconduct related to our ongoing investigation.
Following substantial back and forth, the Department agreed to make available a number of witnesses for transcribed interviews and to provide some, only some, documents that we have requested. However, the Department is still withholding the vast majority of documents relevant to this Committee's ongoing investigation and oversight of the Intelligence Community.
Moreover, we are dismayed that the Department has slow-walked the reauthorization of a security clearance to Mr. Murphy's attorney, thereby denying him the right to have counsel present for a deposition where we could learn additional details of his classified allegations—allegations that the Committee has a duty to independently investigate. Some of these allegations may prove accurate, others may not, but we have a duty to find out, given their seriousness. And given that some of these allegations involve a threat to the upcoming election, we need to find out now, and without delay.
Because some of Mr. Murphy's allegations are classified—in particular those regarding the politicization of intelligence related to Russian threats to our upcoming election—it will be necessary for you, Mr. Maher, to testify at least in part in closed session. Mr. Maher is also here today to explain in open session the Department's obstructive efforts, and to testify to matters under investigation by the Committee. We will hold a classified session with Mr. Maher following this open hearing so he may further testify about the allegations of misconduct that we are investigating.
Finally, Mr. Maher, we may ask you broader questions in today's open hearing about the nature of the threats facing our country. That is because you represent an element of the Intelligence Community, whose responsibility it is to keep Congress fully and currently informed of the threats to our nation, and because the Director of National Intelligence has refused to appear publicly before this Committee or to the Senate Intelligence Committee to discuss these threats—responsibilities his predecessors respected, on an annual basis. Instead, Director Ratcliffe has chosen to selectively declassify and publish unverified material which he admits may be fabricated, undertaking a domestic political errand for the president before an election only weeks away, an errand that even John Durham seems unwilling to perform. The American people deserve better.
Mr. Maher, we expect you to level with the American people today and speak truth to power.

Okay, here goes:
1. The Voyage of the Dawn Treader: I'm not exactly sure why this is my favorite, it's just always been that way. I guess because there are so many different, smaller adventures within the one big one. And also, Lucy, Edmund, and Eustace are all high on my list of favorite characters. You get to see more of them. And it has a dragon. I love dragons.
2. The Silver Chair: This one is a favorite because I relate to Jill so well. Also, I read this out loud to my sister when we were about eight and nine, so it has a bunch of fun memories tied to it, aside from the story itself. Oh, plus: It has Puddleglum!
3. The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe: Of course. The idea is just so wonderful: You're far from home, a war is going on, and you just happen to open a wardrobe...
4. The Horse and His Boy: ... it's number 4 because... because... Well... I like seeing the Pevensies older, for one. It's also cool to see Aslan working in the background of it all, although you don't realize until He tells you. And Bree makes me laugh.
5. The Magician's Nephew: It answered a lot of questions, and the creation scene is so beautiful! I also love the story of the wardrobe at the very end. Plus, I want to go to the Wood Between the Worlds almost as much as I want to go to Narnia itself, for whatever reason.
6. Prince Caspian: I don't know why this is so low. I guess... Hm. I never liked the character of Caspian that much. Not that I disliked him; it's impossible to do that. There are just other people I would rather be reading about, and he takes a big chunk of the book.
7. The Last Battle: It's sad. Yes, they all went to Aslan's Country and things are going to be wonderful, but what about Susan? I mean, I can see her leaving and all, but still. We need to be told how she gets back! (And this is probably a little off topic, but I firmly believe she does. I just want to know how.) And the scene about the end of Narnia makes me cry. You come to love the world so much, and then it's gone. Yes, the real Narnia is still there... But the one we could get to is gone, and now we have to wait 'til we die.
As long as there is breath in my body, I will be For Narnia. And for Aslan.

1) The Horse and His Boy
2) The Voyage of the Dawn Treader
3) The Magician's Nephew
4) The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe
5) The Silver Chair
6) Prince Caspian
7) The Last Battle
HHB: I just generally like the whole thing. I think part of the reason i would name it as my favorite, though, is because i purposely didn't read it for years - the summary on the back did not get my interest at all, but when i finally read it, i really enjoyed it.
VDT: This one and MN are really close; i like both - again, it took me a while to read them - and all top 3 have the greatest number of my favorite quotes.
LWW: The classic tale that started it all. I don't dislike anything about this one particularly, it just isn't a top-favorite.
SC: I think i would say i really do like all of the Chronicles, but i wouldn't put the last three in my top favorites. What i didn't like about this one - i never liked Jill, i didn't like that she and Eustace called each other by their last names (i realize it's accurate to their time/culture, but i still didn't like it), and i didn't like that throughout almost the whole thing they weren't behaving very well. Still, Puddleglum is a great character, and the story is interesting.
PC: I would have to say, the slow beginning with the Pevensies is actually probably my favorite part. I didn't really feel engaged for Caspian or his allies, i didn't like the attitudes of the children while they were traveling with Trumpkin, and it ended so quickly.
LB: The ending has never moved me like it has other people. I didn't like the way Susan was treated - i get the message about the difference between acting grown-up and being grown-up, but i didn't get why after only about 2 paragraphs, they never bring her up ever again, and it bothered me that she got dropped in favor of Jill (whom i never really liked) or Polly (who only showed up in one book). I wouldn't say it's a bad book, but i never cared for it.
I have heard there are troubles of more than one kind
Some come from above, some come from behind
But I've bought a big bat, I'm all ready you see
Now my troubles are going to have troubles with me!

I think my favorites were the HHB and SC. I love puddleglum and shasta. Puddleglum is brave and noble while Shasta is humble and courteous.

The Magician's Nephew is my favorite book because of it's epic yet human nature. The various places described in the book have always captured my imagination. MN is so complete and powerful.

My book rankings would have to be......
1. The Silver Chair - for the adventures and for the fact that readers get a glimpse into the northern part of narnia. Also, i like the book for some memorable characters: Puddleglum, Glimfeather, and the giants of Harfand.
3. The Lion, The Withch, and The Wardrobe
7. The Horse and His Boy
"I am," said Aslan. "But there I have another name. You must learn to know me by that name. This was the very reason why you were brought to Narnia, that by knowing me here for a little, you may know me better there."

1. The Silver Chair - I love this the best because of combination of the mood ( gray, silvery, and rainy) and its theme of following and recognizing Aslan's signs even when it seems they aren't there or that things happen randomly. I also find Puddleglum's argument a swift and sweet kick in the face to resigned materialism.
2. The Last Battle - What's special to me about the last chronicle is how moving and beautiful it can be whilst telling a very dark and ugly story about treachery and manipulation. Everything works in reverse in this book (has anyone else noticed this?) The bad guys "win," and yet Aslan shows how it was all part of his plan. Nothing can be truly turned against God, for he always finds a purpose for it.
3. Prince Caspian - This one took me a while to appreciate, but it's a very very special book. It's also a remarkably complex one (as are all the chronicles, beneath their seemingly simple surfaces. Even beneath the assigned "allegorical" interpretations put on them by many). This book makes me sigh that kind of sigh where you know things have finally been set right with justice, as well as an air of jollity. It's that infamous Bacchus chapter that does it for me---NOT because of Bacchus, but because of the wild lovingness of Aslan who frees the school teacher and heals the old nurse. Those two moments get me teary every time.
4. The Voyage of the Dawn Treader - This used to my be absolute favorite, and being knocked down to fourth place is no insult to it. I haven't changed my mind about it one bit. It is still as powerfully enchanting as ever. As with The Silver Chair, it's the overall effect of the mood (this time very golden). The last three chapters are so inspired and I'm hardly able to know what to say about them, definitely. I think it's that reaching for Aslan's Country as a real, physical place. It makes my heart leap because I so prefer it to any idea of heaven as metaphorical.
5. The Magician's Nephew - Every book has its defining scene. LWW has the stone table scene, LB has Aslan ending the world, and MN has the creation of the world. What is powerful about Narnia are the clearness and cleanness of its images. Reading that passage is like listening to music.
6. The Horse and His Boy - I'm going down the list here, but I have nothing bad at all to say about the "low-end" books. HHB strikes me most powerfully of all, sometimes. The awesomeness of Aslan comes out very wonderfully in this book when it is revealed to Shasta that He, Aslan, was the one guiding him all along. If that doesn't make you cry, I don't know what will.
7. The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe - LWW has always stood apart from the rest of the series, yet it is the core of the series, as it should be since it contains the most powerful portrayal of (unending!) love and forgiveness. It really does shine the light on the rest of the series. And for me, it was always important that Edmund (while walking towards the witches house) had never really turned "Evil." It was important that Peter had to make up with Edmund and admit his own faults as well.
I love this series

Well, I can't vote because I've didn't read all the books. I'm at the third book called The Horse and His Boy and it's quite interesting. I would like to find out who's really Shasta, because at the beginning I thought that he was indeed Prince Corin, but it turned out to be that he isn't. It's a mistery for me in this moment. I loved the Magician's Nephew, because I've read the extraordinary part when Narnia was created and I imagined it in my mind and it was awsome but I've also like The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe, because the four kids at the beginning were so innocent. It was a bit different that the movie, of course it's always like that, but I liked all the two books I've finished and I would like the third book and the others one, beucase The Chronicles of Narnia will be one of my favourite series!

1.) The Magcian's Nephew- I just think it a perfect blend of comedy and drama. All of the characters are great, the plot is very interesting and overall I feel the story has alot of heart.
2.) The Silver Chair- A bit on the darker side but again the characters are wonderful and the story is interesting. LotGK is such a unique villain.
3.) Voyage of the Dawn Treader- I like how the story is told in this one and going from different islands and such. Plus I have always liked pirate/ship stories.
4.) The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe- The classic that started it all not much to say that hasn't been already said.
5.) Prince Caspian- This one is good but I haven't read it in awhile I do like alot of characters in it though.
6.) Horse and His Boy- I haven't read this one in ages but I remember thinking it was ok. Maybe I should re-read it my cousin loves this one becasue she loves horses lol.
7.) The Last Battle- Too sad )=

Ever since I discovered Narnia, I've had a hard time choosing a favorite. I've had three different favorites in my lifetime, but here I'll say what my fav is now.
(1) HB: I love this book for several reasons. First, I love how it differs so much from the rest of the book. It doesn't have kids from England come in and have adventures; it focuses on characters from the Narnian world. I love getting to know more about the countries around Narnia. There is so much humor in the story. And, well, it's such a good story!
(2) SC: Terrific characters and a great story!
(3) VDT: The fantasy is so much more present which makes me like this book more. Also, I love Reepicheep and I liked learning more about him.
(4) LB: One of the darkest and comforting book in the series. And I like how the story takes a twist on what you expect would happen to Narnia.
(5) LWW: Even though I love this book, it's not as good as the books after it. But I love the Aslan/Christ ressurection parts.
(6) MN: Although I love finding out the backstory for Narnia and Jadis, it isn't quite as...likeable as the others.
(7) PC: I used to like it a lot as a kid but the story drags on a little and sort of rehashes LWW's storyline.

My favorite book of Narnia is between MN and LB. The creation in The Magician's Nephew, to start with is just glorious(and it has my favorite character, Digory Kirke, in it ). The new Narnia at the end of The Last Battle, is beyond glorious or even description. No more tears, no more fears, and the feeling of it never ending is just amazing.

I think LWW will always be my favorite, but after that, I'm constantly changing my opinion. I love MN, SC, HHb, and LB. I liked VDT and PC.

1) VDT
Sailing to the end of the world where nobody has been before just sounds awesome and exciting to me. I love the idea that you can actually sail there and therefore the narnian world isn't a world ball.
2) LWW
Edmund's development. AWESOME. Enough said
3) MN
It was so exciting to read how everything started. For example, how Jadis came into Narnia, why the kings and queens of Narnia are human, the story behind the lamppost and so on
4) SC
The story is great and I do love Puddleglum .
5) PC
I really like how the narnian air is working on the Pevensies and how they become stronger every moment while beeing in Narnia. It gives me the creeps when they realize that they must have been away for a very long time, that everything has changed and that there is not much left of Cair Paravel.
6) HHB
I can't really say why I liked the other 5 books more. Maybe it's because I like Narnia and the wild lands of north more than the south and especially the culture there.
7) LB
I have to say that I think the ending is kinda sad. I know it is supposed to be a happy ending, but I don't like them dying that young in our world and I don't like the end of Narnia. Plus, I would have liked Susan coming back...

my favorite is MN because it tells the creation of Narnia and It is the beginning of the great adventures of Narnia. The last is LB because I wanted Narnia to never end, less even that way

1. The Last Battle is definitely my favorite - I actually get excited when I read the parts where they are running and swimming up the waterfall! It makes me feel like I'm getting just a little taste of what Heaven is like (oh, not the specifics, just the overwhelming joy) And the "dark" part of the book when things in Narnia are falling apart, well, I get a lot of encouragement from it - remain faithful, even when things are going against you and it seems that there is no one on your side. Especially in the times we are living through right now and the way things look like they are going - I don't know, I guess I just relate to the message in the first part of the book and the joy that I feel in the last part of the book reminds me that the struggle is worth it.
As far as ranking them - that's hard (from what I've read here - most of us are in agreement on that at least) But, here goes.
2. The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe - because of the parallels with the Gospel - plus I just love how Lewis expresses how horrible things are under the White Witch. I mean, it's always winter (which is pretty bleak) and to top it off, you don't even get to enjoy the one really good thing about winter, because it's never Christmas! And I know that this is about the books, but there was one lesson that was left out of the movie that really disappointed me - after the battle when Lucy uses her cordial to heal Edmund she waits to see if it is really going to work and Aslan asks her if more must die for Edmund. The point of that is that even when you are on the right track and doing what you are supposed to, you might not be doing EVERYTHING that you are supposed to and we sometimes in to be reminded. I listened to the director's commentary and he didn't understand why Aslan scolded Lucy so he left it out. (But I really like the movie too)
3. The Horse and His Boy - poor Shasta! He goes through all these hardships and then when they reach the Hermit's place, he doesn't get to rest but has to keep running - doing the right thing isn't always easy (in fact it usually isn't easy at all) but you are usually rewarded in ways that you can't even imagine. Shasta is given the gift of seeing how everything fit together when Aslan walks by him and tells him that he was always with him. I really relate to Shasta more than any of the other characters in any of the books.
4. Voyage of the Dawn Treader - you have to love a book that begins with "There once was a boy named Eustace Clarence Scrubb, and he almost deserved it." One of my favorite parts is when Eustace is telling Edmund how he became a boy again and then apologizes for being such a stinker before. Edmund tells him that he was far worse on his first trip to Narnia and Eustace immediately tells him not to talk about it then. That, more than anything, shows how much Eustace has grown - because human nature is to say "oh, really? Tell me all about it" Eustace knew that if Edmund was worse than he was that it was pretty bad and didn't want to have Edmund live through the memory of it.
5. The Silver Chair - great adventure, LOTS of lessons and they actually get to bring something from Narnia back with them - their clothes aren't changed back to what they were wearing when they left. There is a lot of spiritual meat in this book.
6. Prince Caspian - I LIKE Caspian's story being told as a flashback. I also like Lucy and Susan's romp with Aslan - the point was of which was to see who would follow Aslan. Not all the Telemarines and Narnians were on the battlefield - Aslan going around and gathering those that would follow him was perfect. And Susan really needed that time with Aslan after her unbelief. I also really like the fact that Peter, Trumpkin, and Edmund stood outside the door until Peter was sure that Caspian was going to do the right thing - he let Caspian face his temptation and reassured himself that he was really on the right side. Peter also lets Caspian know pretty early that he is just there to help, but to take over and rule himself. Peter still conducted himself like the High King should.
7. Magician's Nephew - love this book as well, but not as much as the others. One of my biggest qualms is that Lewis kind of changed who the White Witch was - in LWW she is decended from Lilith and the Jinns on one side and Giants on the other in MN she's from a world called Charn. What I loved about this book was Aslan singing Narnia into existance and the compassion that he had for Digory who was worried about his mother. (kind of reminds me of the story of Lazurus - Jesus wept when Martha came and told Him that her brother was dead, He cried with Martha)
Peter also lets Caspian know pretty early that he is just there to help, but to take over and rule himself.
I meant that Peter was NOT there to take over and rule himself - that's what I get for typing when I'm tired!

Geez...this is HARD! I think this is it...but then again, it changes every time I read them again:
1-LWW
2-HHB
3-MN
4-VDT
5-SC
I love the ending in the Last Battle...and truly I love all the books so much, they all have a special place in my heart...but if one has to be last I guess this would be it..

© 2017, The Author(s) 2017. Implementation is posited as a multiphasic process, influenced by a range of factors, within a multilevel context. While there appears to be a general consensus that every implementation initiative will have a unique combination of influences that vary in importance across the implementation phases, leadership is an essential tenant throughout implementation frameworks, models, and theories. The exploration, preparation, implementation, sustainment framework is used to explore leadership, at both the inner organizational level and the outer system level, and to guide a discussion regarding three critical issues involved in implementation (organizational climate/culture, collaborative relationships, and contracting). Finally, three implementation strategies focused on improving leadership are described in order to provide examples of these issues.

Why are my images not in the order they are in the admin versus when I see them in the thumbnail view on my site?
Important note: This is only for the grid of thumbnails. If viewing the images in single view mode and using the next/previous cursor or navbar left/right icons it will cycle through the images in the order that is presented in the admin.
When using either of those two thumbnail options for thumbs the images won't be in the same order they are in the admin (only in the grid view). The reason is due to the fact that the masonry options needs to use math to fit together the image thumbnails. If you don't want them out of order then switch the thumbnail setting to grid.

The Benefits of Regular Integrity Testing
Equipotential Bonding for Safety
If every structure in the yard is properly bonded to the ground grid, then it can be relied upon to keep workers in the switchyard safe during normal operation and fault conditions. It then becomes very unlikely that a worker could be exposed to two different voltages. Checking the equipotential bonding, or integrity, of a grounding system is a critical part of commissioning.
The image below shows how a properly functioning grid keeps everything at the same voltage during a fault.
But Grounding Systems Change!
Over the life of a substation ground grid (50 years or more), the range of events and damage mechanisms which can damage the conductors & joints include the following:
errors or omissions during installation/modification
theft or vandalism
electrical damage
encroachments (buildings, fences etc)
Changes to 'active' elements like phase conductors are generally noticed immediately, since their non-operation leads to something not working properly. However, damage to a ground grid element may not show immediately; instead the damage remains undiagnosed until an event occurs that relies on the ground grid. So, like with car brakes and other safety and emergency backup systems, periodic inspection is the only reliable means of finding these latent failures.
Of the various types of grounding tests available, integrity testing is the very best test to identify the changes listed above. Integrity testing (with the right equipment) is fast; a typical utility substation can be tested in as little as 2-3 hours. And test equipment, such as Safearth's CS3, is inexpensive, with training also readily available.
How Integrity Testing Works
When integrity testing with a CS3, a reference point is selected, and then measurements are taken to the bonded elements. The interconnected mesh of the grid has a low resistance, and so the connection(s) to the element under test is more significant. A series of measurements provides fast insight into the grounding system condition, and allows the tester to quickly identify damaged or missing connections, even if they are below grade. They can even be identified on structures with multiple grounding connections – ask us how!
How Safearth Can Help You
If you want to carry out this testing yourself, please read more about our CS3 and ask us for a proposal.
We can also provide you on-site training, to help your team gain the awareness and skills.
Alternately, if you plan to outsource this testing, Safearth has a team of experienced personnel ready to assist you.

Kicking off the evening session on Tuesday at the Miami Open will be Petra Kvitova and Ashleigh Barty. It will be the third meeting between the two this season with Kvitova looking to go make it 3-0 as she hunts the World No.1 ranking that has eluded her to date.
Watch the Kvitova vs Barty Live Stream Here.
After a disappointing loss to Venus Williams at Indian Wells, Kvitova has recovered well in making the quarter finals here. She toughed out a three setter against Donna Vekic before a fairly routine victory over Caroline Garcia on Monday. Backed by a strong serving performance, she broke three times overall in the 6-3 6-3 win while denying the Frenchwoman on her only break opportunity. "I think I played great match today from the beginning, which I'm very pleased with," Kvitova said afterwards. A rain delay at 5-2 in the second did little to distract her, closing it out two games later.
Barty continues her rise up the rankings and will make her Top 10 debut unless Qiang Wang wins the tournament. The Australian remains a consistent force on the tour but is also more than capable of coming up with big results like her win over Kiki Bertens in the previous round. She came from a set down to beat Kiki Bertens, making it 4-0 against her with the 4-6 6-3 6-2 win.

The grand champion of mothers
When I became a mother for the first time, my mother was there for her baby, not for mine. It had been a difficult birth. 'Heavens,' said Mum, 'You look just as you did after a hard day at school.' 'Oh, Mum,' I said, 'I'm so worried about him.' Mum laughed her head off. 'You're stuck with that feeling now.' How right she was.
Women chained to the human dairy farm
Women have fought the long, hard fight, marching into battle with a baby tugging on one heel and a man hanging off the other. And while the man has largely loosened his grip, the baby never will. Many women are still forced to submit, if not to patriarchy then certainly to maternal instinct.
Feminism, Greer and Tankard Reist
Lyn Bender
Germaine Greer has said she did not want to be a high priestess of feminism. What may have been extracted from her views and the constant evolution of feminism has been diminished by being reduced to a formula such as that used to denounce Melinda Tankard Reist.
Childbirth grace and agony
Sydney mother Grace Wang was left paralysed from the waist down due to a botched epidural. When I first heard her story I recalled my own epidural experience with my firstborn, looking fixedly down at the floor trying to ignore the blood pooling around my feet. Childbirth can be a murderous business.
Reconciling religion, politics and human rights
Frank Brennan
Cardinal Pell, with whom I have voiced disagreement, preached superbly at the mass of thanksgiving after the canonisation of Mary MacKillop. 'She does not deter us from struggling to follow her.' As we wrestle with the common good, let's make a place for all our fellow citizens.
Massaging Himmler
Anne M. Carson
Two poems from a series about Heinrich Himmler's personal masseur, Felix Kersten. He used his influence over Himmler to secure the release of many prisoners — much like Oscar Schindler.
Charity tourists find god in India
Sydney filmmaker Claire McCarthy spent two months working among Mother Teresa's Missionaries of Charity in Calcutta. Like many Westerners with egalitarian pretensions, the characters in her film The Waiting City arrive in India bearing a tourist's naivety.
Michelangelo and my kids will haunt me
Bronwyn Lay
As Copenhagen looms on the horizon like a giant apocalyptic festival, Ican't get Michelangelo and my kids out of my mind. The image of the Pietá, the mother holding her dead son, keeps appearing.
Big broods and helicopter parenting
Big families are no longer fashionable, but they had their benefits. Vastly outnumbered, there's no chance for adults to practice the kind of helicopter parenting common to my own generation, where we hover over our one or two, soothing and solving.
Parenthood as religion
After my first child was born I was overwhelmed by a new appreciation for the work required to grow a single human being. History's catalogue of achievements now mean little to me. Man Walks on Moon? Big deal. Each day the headlines should shout, Woman Gives Birth!
On orphans in Catholic care
Philip Mendes
Some enjoyed supportive placements and moved successfully into mainstream society. Others were disempowered and even traumatised by their time in care, and left with serious health and emotional deficits.
Working mums were 'offended' and 'disgusted' by Mem Fox's childcare slam. Other critics berated 'selfish mothers' and a society sick with affluenza. There was one word missing word from all the brouhaha: 'fathers'. (September 2008)


The figures for August, the first full month of availability for the new OS, Windows 10 went from 0.39 percent to 5.21 percent share, jumping over Windows 8 (but not Windows 8.1).
People in the know said that the take-up of Windows 10 was going to be huge, particularly since it was easy to upgrade and free.
However, September's growth appears to have stalled. Interest in Windows 10 appears to have actually waned considerably. While Windows 10 still grew its share, it only managed a gain of 1.42 percentage points which puts it on 6.63 percent.
Windows 8 actually rallied fractionally in September, going from 2.56 percent to 2.60 percent, a minor increase of 0.04 percentage points. Windows 8.1 fell 0.67 percentage points, going from 11.39 percent to 10.72 percent. Combined, Windows 8.x currently has 13.32 percent of the market.
It looks like it will take until January for Windows 10 overtake Windows 8.x by January now. Windows 7's share is declining, but slowly, turning it into the next Windows XP. In August Windows 7 had a 57.67 percent share. In September it was on 56.53 percent. A drop of 1.14 percentage points.
Windows XP shows no signs of going away and actually grew share last month, going from 12.14 percent to 12.21 percent.

Geografie

Geografische Lage
Hyde Park liegt im mittleren Osten des Lamoille Countys, in einem rauen Gebirgsteil der Green Mountains, nicht weit von der Grenze zum Orleans County. Der Lamoille River fließt entlang der südwestlichen Grenze und seine Zuflüsse durchziehen die Town. Im Nordosten liegt das Green River Reservoir im Green River Reservoir State Park. Das Gebiet der Town ist wenig hügelig, nur rund um das Green River Reservoir finden sich einige Erhebungen, die höchste ist der westlich des Reservoir liegende 573 m hohe McKinstry Hill.

Nachbargemeinden
Alle Entfernungen sind als Luftlinien zwischen den offiziellen Koordinaten der Orte aus der Volkszählung 2010 angegeben.

 Norden: Eden, 14,0 km
 Nordosten: Craftsbury, 20,0 km
 Südostenen: Wolcott, 12,3 km
 Süden: Morristown, 4,5 km
 Westen: Johnson, 13,6 km

Stadtgliederung
Die Hauptsiedlung in der Town Hyde Park ist das Village Hyde Park. Zudem gibt es die Ansiedlungen Centerville und Garfield.

Klima
Die mittlere Durchschnittstemperatur in Hyde Park liegt zwischen −11,7 °C (11 °Fahrenheit) im Januar und 18,3 °C (65 °Fahrenheit) im Juli. Damit ist der Ort gegenüber dem langjährigen Mittel der USA um etwa 9 Grad kühler. Die Schneefälle zwischen Mitte Oktober und Mitte Mai liegen mit mehr als zwei Metern etwa doppelt so hoch wie die mittlere Schneehöhe in den USA. Die tägliche Sonnenscheindauer liegt am unteren Rand des Wertespektrums der USA, zwischen September und Mitte Dezember sogar deutlich darunter.

Geschichte

Der Grant für Hyde Park wurde am 6. November 1780 an Jedediah Hyde und 65 weitere Siedler durch Gouverneur Thomas Chittenden vergeben und auch nach ihm benannt. Hyde, wie auch einige andere vom Grant Begünstigte, waren Veteranen des Amerikanischen Unabhängigkeitskriegs, zudem Verwandte oder Freunde von Jedediah Hyde. Festgesetzt wurde das am 27. August 1781. Die Besiedlung startete 1787. Einer der ersten Siedler, der mit seiner Familie nach Hyde Park zog, war John McDaniel. Im selben Jahr zog eine weitere Familie nach Hyde Park, welches noch völlig unerschlossen und ohne Straßen oder Wege war. Jedediah Hyde zog ein Jahr später zu und die konstituierende Versammlung der Town fand 1791 statt.

Zum Zeitpunkt der Vergabe des Grants gehörte Hyde Park zum Chittendden County, danach wechselte die County Zugehörigkeit oft. Hyde Park war in Folge Teil des Rutland Countys, Addision Countys, Orleans Countys und seit 1835 schließlich gehört Hyde Park zum Lamoille County. Zur Shire Town wurde Hyde Park nach einer Rede von Joshua Sawyer vor der General Assembly im Jahr 1835, bei der es sich gegen Johnson und Morrisville durchsetzen konnte.

In der Town entstanden die benötigten Gebäude. Das Hyde Park Opera House wurde als Town Hall für die Shire Town des Lamoille Countys errichtet. Sie zeichnet sich zudem durch eine hervorragende Akustik aus. Ein Court House und eine Town Hall für die Aufgaben der Town und des Countys wurden zusätzlich gebaut.

Einwohnerentwicklung

Wirtschaft und Infrastruktur

Verkehr
Die  Vermont Route 100 verläuft in nordsüdlicher Richtung durch den westlichen Teil der Town, von Eden im Norden nach Morrisville im Süden. Durch den Südwesten, entlang des Lamoille Rivers, verläuft die Vermont Route 15. Es gibt keine Bahnstation in Hyde Park. Die nächsten Amtrak Stationen befinden sich in Waterbury.

Öffentliche Einrichtungen

Bildung

Hyde Park gehört mit Cambridge, Eden, Johnson und Waterville zum  Lamoille North Supervisory Union.

Die Hyde Park Elementary School ist eine Grundschule in Hyde Park, die von etwa 250 Schülerinnen und Schülern besucht wird. Sie bietet Klassen von Pre-Kindergarten bis zum sechsten Schuljahr.

Als weiterführende Schulen sind in Hyde Park die Lamoille Union Middle School und die Lamoille Union High School beheimatet.

Die Lanpher Memorial Library befindet sich an der Main Street in Hyde Park Village. Sie wurde im Jahr 1895 gegründet und geht auf den Beschluss von 1894 zurück, in dem allen Towns ohne öffentliche Bibliothek staatliche Hilfe für den Aufbau einer Bibliothek ermöglicht werden sollte. Ein Jahr später wurde die Bibliothek der Town mit der Bibliothek der Schule zusammengelegt. Durch eine Spende von Loomis H. Lanpher, einem wohlhabenden Farmer, konnte im Jahr 1913 ein eigenes Gebäude errichtet werden, welches im Jahr 1916 fertig gestellt wurde.
