Q: How to get html source auth after login Hello I am wondering what function I can use in my script to return a confirmation that the login worked.
I am using Selenium but I am using it in headless mode. So I want an output of the auth that says the login has worked etc.
class loginlol:
    def __init__(self, username, password):
        self.browser = webdriver.Chrome()
        self.username = username
        self.password = password
        url = 'https://www.instagram.com/'
        self.driver.find_element_by_xpath("/html/body/div[1]/section/main/article/div[2]/div[1]/div/form/div[2]/div/label/input").click()
        username.send_keys(self.username)
        sleep(1)
        self.driver.find_element_by_xpath("/html/body/div[1]/section/main/article/div[2]/div[1]/div/form/div[3]/div/label/input").click()
        password.send_keys(self.password)
        password.send_keys(Keys.ENTER)
        sleep(1)

what could I use to print the updated html that the login was a success? get attribute?
I tried to confirm it through find element. but Xpath doesnt work
        self.driver.findElement("/html/body/div[1]/section/div/div/div[1]/div/p")
        if self.driver.findElement is True:
                print("login confirmed")

let me know what to do thanks :D

A: If login is Successful then check for your user name in the page_source
Example
import time

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys

class InstagramBot:
    def __init__(self, email, password):
        self.chrome_browser = webdriver.Chrome()
        self.email = email
        self.password = password

    def login(self):
        self.chrome_browser.get("https://www.instagram.com/accounts/login/")

        time.sleep(2)

        email_input = self.chrome_browser.find_elements_by_css_selector("form input")[0]
        password_input = self.chrome_browser.find_elements_by_css_selector("form input")[1]

        email_input.send_keys(self.email)
        password_input.send_keys(self.password)
        password_input.send_keys(Keys.ENTER)

        time.sleep(2)

        if "my user name" in self.chrome_browser.page_source:
            print("login confirmed")
        else:
            print("login Not confirmed")

my_bot = InstagramBot('0m3r@Email.com', 'password')
my_bot.login()

I'm not gonna lie today's outfit is waaay out of my comfort zone but it's fun, flashy, and a little Halloween-ish. Be prepared for today's Obnoxious What I Wore Fantastic Friday.
If you're new to this series check out some of the early posts to see what this series is all about (more links at the bottom of this post as well). Today's outfit falls in the "embarrassing, ridiculous, or downright painful" categories.
Two weeks ago, there was another borderline embarrassing/ridiculous outfit. My intentions were to get some kind of reaction out of the beau and all the beau said was: "What's up Hippie?"
Speechless? Yeah it's out there. Maybe there's a 50/50 chance of fitting into Tokyo's Street Scene, no?
Those striped tights- yep- bought them four Halloweens ago (or more who knows) and finally ripped them out of their package today. If you follow me on Instagram (if not your missing out on my... er umm... personality), you may recognize that tutu from the color run. Let's not forget the real star of the show-- the prohibition/true gangster fedora. Maybe there should have been a toy Tommy Gun to finish things off.
It was fun mixing a few textures, almost all the colors of the rainbow, a slice of LL Cool J/SJP, and a HUGE slide of weird.
Do you channel your inner Punky Brewster in the confines of your own home? Sometimes wish you were still a kid so you have an excuse to play dress-up?
Join me over on Instagram/Twitter for your quirky outfit, make sure to hash: #ItsNotHalloweenYetDressUpAnyway. I'll forgive your loyalty if you decide to leave a comment here or on the social medias instead.
Want to see past What I Wore Segments?
Don't forget What I Wore Fantastic Fridays will be back two weeks from now since switching to a bi-weekly schedule.
Bahaha, that's EXACTLY the look I was going for!!
I think we need to figure out some kinda OZ reference. Those stockings remind me of the witches legs from under the house.
I do haha. This time I may or may not have done some unnecessary tuck and rolls to sneak into my own backyard for that shot!!
What I wore Fridays rocks!
Haha thanks Chris!! it was a lot of fun throwing this obnoxious outfit together.
Thanks, and her comment gets 1,000,000,000 points!!

How many meetings are we going to have?!?
All the complexity of the project is emerging. And we're facing it by making countless meetings, live conferences on Skype between Italy and Mozambique, on the phone, in Milan, at Alcatraz.
The theatrical performance might offend, disrespect, we must not diminish the figure of curanderos and of the traditional matrons in any way, we must pay attention to the different religions: Catholic, Muslim and Animist.
The question most frequently asked in our meetings is: "What will the performance be about?" But we are only speculating, coming up with some ideas.
A dance? Maybe with mosquito nets to explain that they are to be used against mosquitoes and not as fishing nets.
And the sets? There is no electricity, no lights or microphones in the villages, the sets should be easily assembled and disassembled, transportable first by plane and then by car.
Doubts and many questions: the purpose of the next mission in Mozambique will be to give some answers.
Seeing performances in the villages we will understand better how theater works over there, what they offer, if they write texts or improvise. It will be fundamental to understand the points of union with the theater of Maputo of which we have a fairly accurate idea (educational, instructive theater).
Dates for the next mission? Yet to be decided.
Participants? Yet to be decided.

Kevin Feige Confirms Captain Marvel Will Appear In 'Avengers 4'
By Jenna Anderson - October 23, 2017 03:51 pm EDT
A lot is still unknown about Avengers 4, but it sounds like one character will definitely have a part to play in it.
In a recent interview with IndieWire, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige was asked about the future of female characters in the Marvel Cinematic Universe - particularly the solo film around Carol Danvers/Captain Marvel (Brie Larson). And along the way, he confirmed that the events of Captain Marvel will play into Avengers 4, with Larson set to reprise her role in the latter film.
"Really, the focus now is on delivering Captain Marvel," Feige revealed, "and then bringing Captain Marvel's story into the finale of everything we've started thus far."
Fans have speculated about Captain Marvel's role in Avengers 4 for quite some time. After director Joe Russo confirmed to ComicBook.com that she wouldn't be in Avengers: Infinity War, photos of Larson arriving on the Avengers 4 set seemed to hint at her role in the film. And with the Captain Marvel solo film set to introduce the Skrulls into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, some had already begun to wonder if the villainous aliens would play a role in Avengers 4.
In terms of other future female-led films, Feige said that it's too early to publicly confirm them, with the priority being finishing out the remainder of the MCU's Phase Three.
"There are a lot of discussions, they all focus on the post-Phase Three, Avengers 4 film, so nothing that we'll get into publicly." Feige explained. "We're really focusing on Captain Marvel and the work that [directors Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck] are doing. It's going to be a big part of heading towards this epic conclusion and epic finale of 22 movies over the course of 10 years. That is focus for the next six movies we have to finish and get out."
In a post-Wonder Woman landscape, fans have increased their campaigns for Marvel to introduce more female-led blockbusters. Thor: Ragnarok's Tessa Thompson reportedly pitched an all-female teamup movie to Feige, and talks about a Black Widow solo film continue to be bounced around.
Captain Marvel will debut on March 8th, 2019, while Avengers 4 is set to be released on May 3rd, 2019.

The former commander of the Pacific Fleet brings extensive military experience to bear on world-class security studies at MIT
CAMBRIDGE, MA—July 16, 2018
Adm Scott H Swift, former commander of the US Pacific Fleet, joins the MIT Center for International Studies (CIS) as a Robert E Wilhelm Fellow. Swift arrives at MIT on August 1, 2018. He retired from the US Navy on July 1, 2018.
Swift brings immeasurable insights and perspectives as a military leader with more than 40 years of service in the US Navy. He was selected for admiral in 2006 and was assigned as the deputy commander of Naval Forces Central Command, Bahrain. He traveled throughout the region from Djibouti to Iraq, Afghanistan, and Pakistan. In 2010, after a tour as Carrier Strike Group commander, he was assigned as the director of operations on the Pacific Command staff. During this time, he helped develop and implement the US response to the Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami in Japan, known as Operation Tomodachi. From 2011-2013, he was assigned as the commander of the Seventh Fleet, Yokosuka, Japan. He traveled extensively and met with leaders throughout the Indo-Pacific region. After a short tour in the Pentagon in 2015, he was assigned as the commander of the US Pacific Fleet and built upon his earlier experience in the region.
"MIT CIS allows me to bring my practitioner's experience to MIT—an organizational nexus of intellectual excellence and energy. Working with faculty and students, my aim is to contribute to, and learn from, the process of developing a deeper understanding of the dynamics that are driving the changing relations between international powers, great and small," said Swift.
Swift's work at MIT will provide the basis for broadly informed US policy proposals that address the key challenges facing US and global security.
"Adm. Swift brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the CIS research community," said Richard Samuels, director of CIS and Ford International Professor of Political Science. "It is a great honor to welcome him on behalf of our faculty and students. We hope he finds his time here equally rewarding."
A generous gift from Robert E Wilhelm supports the Center's Wilhelm fellowship. The fellowship is awarded to individuals who have held senior positions in public life and is open, for example, to heads of non-profit agencies, senior officials at the State Department or other government agencies, including ambassadors, or senior officials from the UN or other multilateral agencies. Previous Wilhelm Fellows include: Honorable James E Baker, former chief judge of the US Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces; Lourdes Melgar, Mexico's former deputy secretary of energy for hydrocarbons; Paul Heer, former national intelligence officer for East Asia; Joel Brenner, former NSA inspector general; Ambassador Barbara Bodine; Adm. William Fallon; and Yukio Okamoto, a special advisor to the prime minister of Japan.


Uhlsport Hellenic League Division One East club AFC Aldermaston have signed attacking midfielder Jordace Holder-Spooner.
Twenty-five-year-old Holder-Spooner started his career with Southampton where he appeared for the Saints` academy and reserve sides.
Upon his release in summer 2011 and after a trial with AFC Bournemouth, he joined Eastleigh and spent the whole 2011/12 season at the Silverlake Stadium, starting a dozen games and chipping in with 3 goals.
The pacey and powerful attacker, who can play as a forward or on the wings, joined Basingstoke Town in June 2012 and totalled 47 games for the club and scored 6 goals.
He signed for Marlow in 2015 and spent three seasons with the Buckinghamshire outfit.

The German Empire existed from 1871 to 1918 and was the result of a unification of German states largely driven forward by Prussia. After World War I a parliamentary republic replaced the monarchy. This so-called Weimar Republic existed from 1919 to 1933. After Adolf Hitler came to power in 1933 he gradually dismantled the republic, starting a period of German history called Third Reich. This period ended in 1945 with Germany's defeat in World War 2 and occupation by allied forces. In 1949, the British, American and French occupation zones merged into Federal Republic of Germany, a parliamentary republic, and the Soviet occupation zone became German Democratic Republic, a socialist republic. Germany was reunified in 1990 with the German Democratic Republic joining the Federal Republic of Germany.

Q: Migrate from file shares to SharePoint Online, move files and preserve the source permissions We want to migrate around 2 TB of files and folders from windows servers to 5 SharePoint online new sites (each site represents a department).
so my question is how we can do the migration while preserve the source file shares permissions inside SharePoint Online?
I am planning to do the following:-

*

*create the 5 source sites inside SharePoint online tenant.

*then use 3rd party tool OR SharePoint online tools provided OR Power Shell scripts to do the migration.

but my question is how we can preserve the file shares permission, where we have these scenarios inside the file shares:-

Acoustic Sessions [no label, 1CD]
Here's a compilation for late night or early morning listening.
The first three tracks are from an excellent soundboard recording of just Crosby and Nash from 1992. While now singing as grown men, their music still reflected the optimism of their youth. The banter is carefree and earnest. This was the generation that single-handedly invented youth culture. I Am A Simple Man by Graham Nash has aged very well.
Contrast this with Guy Clark's set at the Douglas Cafe in Nashville. Clark writes and sings from an adult's perspective. He's a natural storyteller. All three are ballads with Desperados Waiting For A Train the standout for its detail, recollections and atmosphere that makes this one of those songs that bear repeat listenings.
Taken from the tapes that were used for the official live album release of Keepers - A Live Recording, that Clark released in 1997. These are tracks not included on the official release. The sound quality is like an official release.
Jason Molina, the new kid on the block of singer-songwriters, is opposite to Clark's thrifty style. While Clark is prepared to trim down what could have been a triple live CD set, Molina prefers to max out on his releases. His latest is a box set called Sojourner - a reference to what he calls the songwriter's "dislocation, search, and losing the search." Sojourner is 4CDs and 1DVD of new material.
Molina is obviously not Graham Nash's simple man. He is a serious "youth" and writes in a somewhat unfocused, all over the place style. As our teacher in school used to write in our report cards "needs adult guidance". But when the songs are on target, as on the three we've chosen, they are well worth listening. Molina's show is also a stunning soundboard recording.

Faded Glory Celebrates a Blackguard's American History
By Bill Eadie | June 2, 2014 | 0

Photos by Aaron Rumley
Daniel Edgar Sickles' life should have been a movie – or perhaps a television mini-series. It was certainly full of enough "stuff" to attract a star performer looking for Oscar bait. A self-appointed general in the Civil War, Sickles was a politician who held a variety of elective offices, a friend to presidents, particularly Presidents Buchanan, Polk and Lincoln, a skilled negotiator who served diplomatic assignments for the U. S. to Columbia, England, and Spain, and an out-and-out scoundrel who was censured for bringing a known prostitute onto the floor of the New York State Legislature, who managed to be acquitted of murdering the son of Francis Scott Key ("The Star Spangled Banner") by pleading temporary insanity, and who became the secret lover of the deposed Queen Isabella II of Spain while attempting delicate negotiations with the government that had deposed her.
Even Sickles' crowning accomplishment – winning the Congressional Medal of Honor – was tarnished by the perception that Sickle's heroism was probably the byproduct of insubordination.
The Sickles story is the equivalent of a blackguard's American history, and its sweep is all but guaranteed to enthrall.
It's too bad, then, that Tim Burns' play about Sickles, Faded Glory, now in its world premiere production at North Coast Rep, trades sweep for being shut up with a grumpy old man at the end of his life.
Set in the spring of 1914, only a short time before his death, Faded Glory explores Sickles' (Andrew Barnicle) relationship with Eleanor Wilmerding (Shana Wride), his nurse. Irascibility has overcome Sickles, and while he's able to recall and describe his exploits, the real action comes from the other characters, including Eleanor; her profligate cousin, Frank Butler (Ben Cole), and his friend, the actor, John Barrymore (Bruce Turk); a portrait painter the play names Lenott Parlaghy (Rachel VanWormer); and Sickles' second wife, who the play names only as Condesa (Frances Anita Rivera). Sickles spends much of the play wondering why the Condesa has moved in down the street from him, and he also frets about his Medal of Honor being rescinded and keeps referring to his campaign to have it restored to him.

Despite his self-description as a "history buff," Mr. Burns' play gets some of its history wrong. First, Sickles' portrait was not painted by "Lenott Parlaghy" but by the well-known Hungarian artist, Elisabeth von Parlaghy, who was briefly married to the Russian Prince Lwoff and who styled herself as "Princess Lwoff-Parlaghy." Second, some Medals of Honor were "rescinded" after criteria for awarding them were made more stringent and other awards for military valor were added, but the investigation that led to the rescission didn't begin until 1916, two years after Sickles' death. Finally, Mr. Burns implies that a key to understanding Sickles' psychology was that he never had a son, a point that appears to play fast and loose with the facts. I'm being deliberately vague here, but after you've seen the North Coast Rep production, read Cormac O'Brien's essay on Sickles in Secret Lives of the Civil War: What Your Teachers Never Told You about the War Between the States. This book is easily found online and adds a key detail about Sickles' marriage to the Condesa that the play omits.
Now, I've been pretty hard on this portrayal of Sickles, but Faded Glory does have its charms. Mr. Burns may have disposed Sickles as his Pirate King, but he's installed Barrymore in the role and Mr. Turk plays him to the hilt. Mr. Cole is awfully funny as the drunk Frank Butler and Ms. VanWomer takes an inconsistently written role and makes an interesting character out of it. And, Ms. Wride walks away with the play as she deftly creates a woman of depth and complexity who loves Sickles' despite his constant criticism of everything around him, including her. [php snippet=1]From a production standpoint, North Coast Rep has done well by Mr. Burns. Marty Burnett's scenic design, complimented by Mr. Cole's property design, provides a number of clues to the mania that has overcome Sickles, and Matt Novony's lighting design and Melanie Chen's sound design are models of subtle pleasure. Sonia Elizabeth Lerner and Peter Herman have done a fine job designing period costumes, hair, and wigs. Overseeing the proceedings, director David Ellenstein keeps them lively, provides space for his actors to do excellent work, and doesn't let the abundance of laugh lines overwhelm the pathos of the situation.
All in all, it's an excellent production of a play that needs work. Don't let the problems with the script keep you away – you'll miss the opportunity to enjoy some fine acting and stagecraft.
[box] Faded Glory runs May 28 – June 22 at the North Coast Repertory Theatre (see below for address and contact information). The theatre is located in a shopping center just east of I-5, and there is ample free parking available. Ticket prices range from $37 – $54, and discounts for seniors, students, and military are available. The performance runs about 2 hours and 15 minutes including an intermission.

Things You Wish You Could Write
PadawanPhoebe	(100)
Sex scenes,
more than 10 pages in Microsoft Word...
sectumsempra	(100)
Sex. I think I'm really, really, really not very good at it, at all.
Of course, I can never quite seem to fit them into a story because honestly? Most of my stories aren't so much romance oriented, and it just doesn't...Feel right to me. So, I wish I could somehow fit sex in, and then write it well.
Also, I wish I didn't have to force myself to write long chapters. I wish I could write long things in general. It just isn't natural for me.
oh bear	(100)
Fanfiction. O_O
If some story isn't 100% mine then for some reason I just can't write it.
Icamane Hatake	(250)
galaxies.:
I feel like I start to ramble pointlessly when I'm trying to make a chapter a good length.
nebulas	(100)
I wrote a sex scene (pretty much just PWP) and I was really scared about it and I just laughed the entire time while writing it, but people said it wasn't really aggressive, it was beautiful So that made me feel good.
DeathsIssue6661	(100)
i just have a few stories i wish i could finish.
(if anyone is intersted in taking on a new story PM me :-X)
I wish that I could write anything worth posting. I always write something and it seems amazing to me when I first write it, but if I go back and look at it the next morning, it looks like complete crap.
I feel like I can never create a realistic world. I love all of my characters, because I feel like I could sit down in a room and talk to them and I wouldn't notice that they weren't real, but I just can't put them in a world that seems to fit for them. I can put them in a home, and in a school, but the world around them just never seems to fit.
I spend so much time on characters and developing their stories that I feel as though I've created the story of their lives without creating the story they're in.
Coheed Kilgannon	(100)
Heartbreaky angst.
And sex. I mean, I can alude to it, but other than that....
The Way	(1400)
BOSS:
I fear this will happen with some of my "planned" stories. Gah.
bateman	(100)
Science fiction. I'm desperate to write a sci fi story but I just never know where to start.
On a similar note to my earlier post, I wish that I could put my story into words. I have this whole story written out it my head, but it's kind of like a movie, and I'm having trouble putting it on paper.
DragonxFox	(100)
vengeance;:
Same. I feel like the chemistry between my characters remains in my head no matter how hard I try to project it into the story.
Sexual Tension.
I love seeing that in stories, but I can't seem to write it...
Roseh; believe	(330)
Crackfics.
I'd love to be able to pull one of.
itsumo.	(150)
Good things.
Seriously, though. I love sci-fi and fantasy stories. But I can't write them. At all. Nor can I write sex. Or arguments.
waits.	(250)
Novels.
I swear, I have the most brilliant ideas and I make the most brilliant character profiles and plot out the most brilliant story ever and it's all so brilliant and will make me millions of zillions of dollars but I end up ignoring it and writing stuff that's only 600 words long and doesn't even have named characters.
Siriano;	(100)
I do that. The only time I don't think that I have was when the city they were in was my own, so they were just thrown into my universe.
Teenage Dirtbag.	(100)
Serious, emotional, brilliantly worded stuff that can make people think/cry/feel something.
I wanna' make somebody cry.
bateman:
Pier in the Sky	(100)
Siriano;:
I made someone cry before. Forget what story but when they told I was so happy. My brother thought I was nuts.
It's a good feeling when your writing can make someone cry . . . if it's good crying.
Action. There's a scene in my new story that involves fighting and such and I just want to to rip my eyes out by the end of it.

Q: Covariant derivative of a covariant derivative I'm trying to find the covariant derivative of a covariant derivative, i.e. $\nabla_a (\nabla_b V_c)$.
This is something I've taken for granted a lot in calculations, namely I though that by the Leibniz rule we just have:
$$\nabla_a (\nabla_b V_c) = \partial_a(\nabla_b V_c) - \Gamma_{ab}^{d}\nabla_c V_d - \Gamma_{ac}^{d} \nabla_d V_c$$
However when we prove that the covariant derivative of a $(0,2)$ tensor is the above, we use the fact that the covariant derivative satisfies a Leibniz rule on $(0,1)$ tensors: $\nabla_a(w_b v_c) = v_c\nabla_a(w_b) + w_b\nabla_a(v_c)$. However $\nabla_a$ on it's own is not a tensor so how do we have the above formula for it's covariant derivative?

A: The term $\nabla_b V_c$ is a (0,2) tensor writing in the abstract index notation,  when writing in full basis form it reads
\begin{equation}
\nabla_b V_c \;dx^b\otimes dx^c\;,
\end{equation}
Now the status of $\nabla_b V_c $ is a components it is a scalar function while $dx^b\otimes dx^c$ is a basis of (0,2)-tensor.
Then the double covariant derivative reads
\begin{equation}
\nabla \Big(  \nabla_b V_c \;dx^b\otimes dx^c  \Big)\;,
\end{equation}
where $$\nabla_b V_c \equiv \partial_b V_c -\Gamma_b{}^q{}_c V_q\;.$$
The Leibniz rule is needed in this step
\begin{eqnarray}
\nabla \Big(  \nabla_b V_c \;dx^b\otimes dx^c  \Big)&=& \nabla \Big(  \nabla_b V_c \Big)\;dx^b\otimes dx^c  + \nabla_b V_c \;\nabla \Big( dx^b \Big)\otimes dx^c + \nabla_b V_c \;dx^b\otimes \nabla \Big( dx^c  \Big)\;,\\
&=& \nabla_m \Big( \overbrace{ \nabla_b V_c}^{a\; scalar} \Big)\;dx^m\otimes dx^b\otimes dx^c  + \nabla_b V_c \;\times \Big(-\Gamma^b{}_n dx^n \Big)\otimes dx^c \\&&+ \nabla_b V_c \;dx^b\otimes  \times \Big( -\Gamma^c{}_p dx^p \Big)\;,\\
&=& \nabla_m \Big( \overbrace{ \nabla_b V_c}^{a\; scalar} \Big)\;dx^m\otimes dx^b\otimes dx^c  -\Gamma^b{}_n \nabla_b V_c \;  dx^n \otimes dx^c \\&& -\Gamma^c{}_p \nabla_b V_c \;dx^b\otimes   dx^p \;,\\
&=&\partial_m \Big( \overbrace{ \nabla_b V_c}^{a\; scalar} \Big)\;dx^m\otimes dx^b\otimes dx^c  -\Gamma_r{}^b{}_n dx^{r} \otimes \nabla_b V_c \; dx^{n} \otimes dx^c \\&&-\Gamma_s{}^c{}_p dx^{s} \otimes \nabla_b V_c \;dx^b  \otimes dx^{p} \;,\\
&=&\partial_m \Big(  \nabla_b V_c \Big)\;dx^m\otimes dx^b\otimes dx^c  - \Gamma_r{}^b{}_n\nabla_b V_c \;  dx^r \otimes dx^n \otimes dx^c \\&&-\Gamma_s{}^c{}_p \nabla_b V_c \;dx^s\otimes   dx^b\otimes dx^p \;,\\
&=&\Big[\partial_m \Big(  \nabla_b V_c \Big)- \Gamma_m{}^d{}_b\nabla_d V_c-\Gamma_m{}^e{}_c \nabla_b V_e\Big ]\;dx^m\otimes dx^b\otimes dx^c \;.
\end{eqnarray}
Then we define
$$
\nabla \Big(  \nabla_b V_c \;dx^b\otimes dx^c  \Big)=:\nabla_m \nabla_b V_c \;dx^m \otimes dx^b\otimes dx^c
$$
Finally, in abstract index notation we have
$$
\nabla_m \nabla_b V_c \equiv \partial_m \Big(  \nabla_b V_c \Big)- \Gamma_m{}^d{}_b\nabla_d V_c-\Gamma_m{}^e{}_c \nabla_b V_e
$$

A: Easy way
Let me first state the straight-forward way to do this computation.
$$
\langle \nabla_a \nabla_b V, \partial_c\rangle =
\partial_a \langle \nabla_b V, \partial_c \rangle - \langle \nabla_aV, \nabla_a \partial_c\rangle = \partial_a (\nabla_bV)_c - (\nabla_bV)_d \Gamma_{ac}^d
$$
First equality follows from compatibility, second equality uses definition of Levi-Civita symbols.
Hard way
You are suggesting a roundabout way to do this, which formalizes to the following:
$$
\nabla_a\nabla_bV = \nabla_a\left[~(\nabla_cV\otimes dx^c)[\partial_b]~\right]
= \nabla_a\left[~C(\nabla_cV\otimes dx^c \otimes \partial_b)~\right]
= C [\nabla_a (\nabla_cV\otimes dx^c \otimes \partial_b)]
$$
where $$
C: T_pM \otimes T_pM \otimes T^*_pM \to T_pM, ~~ w\otimes z\otimes V \to
z[V]w
$$
is the contraction map of the last two arguments. Covariant derivative on mixed-type tensors commute with contractions (used in the last equality). Observe the expression within $C[ \cdots ]$ is a covariant derivative of a mixed tensor, which you can compute with the Leibneiz rule, and use your favorite component-wise formulas.

Chances are you've heard by now about the "intense" "love" relationship between Dumbledore and Grindelwald, described by J.K. Rowling in the DVD extras for Fantastic Beasts 2.
You may have also seen some of the backlash, and some of the many, many memes.
Well, now Stephen Colbert has piled in, too. During his Meanwhile... segment on The Late Show, Colbert reacted to Rowling's remarks.
"That's right — Dumbledore was a Gryffindor in the streets, a Slytherin in the sheets," he jokes in the clip above (skip to 3:18).

Def Leppard, Stevie Nicks Lead 2019 Hall of Fame Nominees
Dave Lifton Published: October 9, 2018
The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame has announced the nominations for their 2019 class, with Def Leppard and Stevie Nicks leading the list of hopeful inductees alongside Janet Jackson, Rage Against the Machine and Radiohead.
Def Leppard and Nicks earned their first-ever nominations, although Nicks was inducted in 1998 as a member of Fleetwood Mac. Also appearing on the ballot for the first time are Devo, John Prine, Roxy Music and Todd Rundgren. The other nominees are Kraftwerk, LL Cool J, the MC5, the Cure, Rufus & Chaka Kahn and the Zombies.
As has been the case in recent years, the Hall is allowing fans to participate in the process. Between now and Dec. 9 at 11:59 P.M. Eastern, you can go to their website once per day and make your selections. Fans who visit the Rock Hall in Cleveland can also cast their vote at a kiosk adjacent to the gallery devoted to last year's inductees.
The top five vote-getters will be on a "fan's ballot" and included alongside the results from others sent to "more than 1,000 artists, historians and members of the music industry" who make up the Hall's voting body. Shortly after voting concludes, the inductees will be announced.
They'll be inducted at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, N.Y. on March 29, 2019, in a ceremony that will be broadcast live on SiriusXM's Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Radio station. Full information regarding tickets will be announced in January, and donors and members in good standing by Dec. 31 will have access to a pre-sale beginning on an as-yet unannounced date.

Fortnite will get a multi-million dollar movie "in like 30 years", says Paradox exec
The Hollywood blockbusters of the next generation will be based on videogames – specifically including Fortnite and Minecraft, according to Paradox's chief business development officer Shams Jorjani.
Jorjani cites the massive hits of the Marvel Cinematic Universe in his reasoning: "Marvel is largely based on comics and other types of entertainment that kids enjoyed in the '70s and '80s. In 20 years' time, all the big IPs are going to be based on videogames that our generation played". Marvel's wild success in adapting its beloved comic books is setting the pace for the film industry today – Avengers: Endgame's box office numbers were just shy of $2.8 billion.
Ultimately, Jorjani reckons "there's going to be a huge Fortnite movie in like 30 years," because by then, both creators and audiences will be driven by nostalgia for the games they played as kids in the same way that they are today for comic books. "It's going to dominate all media. To [kids today] Fortnite and Minecraft are religion, it's going to take over everything." I wonder if the Pope knows that…
It's no secret that Fortnite is doing perfectly fine within the realm of games. Fortnite developer Epic Games made three billion last year alone – and that's profit, not revenue – thanks largely to the monstrous battle royale.
Of course films and videogames already have some crossovers. Some of the most successful franchises of all time had films (though let's not talk about the live action Mario film, shall we?) Jorjani could very well be right in thinking that one day these child-friendly games will be reworked for a film or two, but he also cites Stranger Things as another contemporary example, suggesting that references to Fortnite will come in more subtle forms, too.
"The reason why Stranger Things and these things are doing really well is because it just hearkens back to the stuff – the people who grew up in the '80s are now super successful professionals and can choose exactly what they want to work on, and they choose their childhood stuff." If you've been living under a rock, Stranger Things is a horror series streaming on Netflix that is set in the '80s and full of nostalgia for the period, with many faithfully recreated references to '80s fads, games, and food.
It's all-but-certain Fortnite and Minecraft will spread across culture as today's gamers continue to grow into tomorrow's consumers, but to what extent remains to be seen – we'll just have to wait and see if a dedicated film will ever come out.

Colony is the latest game from Ted Alspach in his line of building games. Previously we had Castles of Mad King Ludwig that had us building castles in the past. Before that was the first game with this theme called Suburbia, that has players building cities in the present. Colony takes place on Earth in the future after a nanopocalypse. Players are competing to rebuild their colony first. Players will be rolling and assigning dice to cards in their colony to upgrade and build new buildings and structures. The dice represent different resources depending on what is rolled. Colony is all about getting a good engine going and being as efficient on your turn as possible. Do you think you can get your colony up and running before everyone else? That is the goal you must try to accomplish, but before you start rebuilding, I invite you to read along as I give you my take on Colony by Bezier Games.
Colony is comprised of many different sets of cards that can picked from to set up your game. There are so many different cards that it will take at least 4 games to play with each different card set and that is just to get to play each card. You can mix them anyway you want to allow for a lot of unique set ups. Bezier is releasing an app around the time Colony hits retail that will randomize your set up for you. Colony comes with 2 reference cards which are very nice to have, but I wish they would have provided 4 so players would not have to share. The game comes with 42 dice that will be used during the game. 12 of those are frosted dice to signify them as unstable resources. Inside the box you will find probably one of the best inserts I have seen this year. This is a huge difference from Castles and Suburbia, which lacked an adequate insert. The insert makes set up and clean up a lot easier. The instruction book is very informative and provides details on each card and has plenty of illustrations to explain the game. Overall I believe Bezier Games stepped up their components from previous games.
Players will take turns building up their colony with each turn consisting of 4 phases. Each player will start with 3 stable dice (white) and roll them. The player with the lowest sum will be the first player. The dice will then go into your warehouse to be used during your turn. Note: Keep the dice on the sides they were rolled on, you will not be rolling them again during your turn. Each player starts with 4 cards in their colony. The warehouse will store up to 6 dice for your next turn. The supply exchange will let you trade in 2 dice of with the same roll for a die of any number of your choosing. The upgrade card and construction card let you upgrade cards or build new cards from the middle supply. The middle supply will consist of 13 different card sets for you to choose from.
The first phase is the Prepare phase. This phase has the active player removing the dice from the warehouse so that they can be used during this turn. Some other buildings may also activate an ability during this time. The second phase is to Scavenge. During this phase the active player will pick up 3 stable dice and roll them. That person will then choose one to keep for their turn and pass the rest to the next player on their left. That player chooses one die to keep (remember to keep the same value face up) and pass to the next player. Once the dice have all been chosen, the active player may turn in CHIPIs to exchange for an unstable die (frosted dice). Unstable dice are only usable during the turn they are received and are discarded if not used. You can not place them in your warehouse.
Once that phase has been completed, the active player will then go to the Activate phase. This is the main part of the player's turn. The player will activate cards by tilting them sideways to show they have been used and complete the action on the card. For example to upgrade a card, you will tilt the upgrade card and then spend the dice resources listed on the bottom of the card to complete the action. For example upgrading requires you to discard a die of a value of 1-4 each. You can then flip over one of your cards to the upgraded side which provides a better action or bonus than the previous side. Other actions from activating cards includes exchanging a die for a different value, building a card, attacking another player, or trading with another player. There are a lot of different actions to choose from and that can make the first few games go very slow as players are unfamiliar with what each card does and it's requirements. The cost to build a card is displayed on the top of the card. Once you have completed all your actions, you can store stable dice you have not used as long as you have space for them in your warehouse and all unstable dice get discarded if they were not used. Each card has orange half circles on the bottom the card. Each half circle is 1 victory point. The game ends when a player reaches a certain amount of victory points based on the player count. (2 player= 20, 3 player = 16, 4 player =15) Once a player has reached that amount of points, the game is immediately over and they win the game.
Colony is a very different game from it's predecessors. I would describe Colony as Machi Koro, Dominion, Yahtzee and dice drafting combined into one. I enjoyed the game and love the large variety of set ups you can have. The one issue I had was that there is a lot of downtime when playing with people unfamiliar with the cards. You can plan part of your turn out ahead of time but there are still other dice you do not know the results of till your turn. I am a big fan of engine building and Colony does a great job creating various engines that can win you the game. Everyone I played with enjoyed the game and wanted to play again. The insert is fantastic and works great. Games can play a little longer than I would prefer for this type of game but will get faster with more experience. The blend of different game mechanics that we enjoy from other games provide a feeling of nostalgia while playing Colony. There are some attack cards, but they did not feel that vicious and also there are defense cards that can be used to counter them. I love the idea of upgrading buildings to provide better benefits. This is a great step up from gateway game that will not feel like too much of leap for people. The game provides plenty of strategy and planning to try and come up with the best engine. Dice randomness is mitigated by cards that let you trade dice for other numbers. I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys Machi Koro or Dominion and wants something a step up but with the same feeling. I am personally glad I own it and it will be staying in my collection.

The Off-Roader of the Future – the Audi AI:TRAIL quattro
Please, make sure that you have entered valid email addresses!
Emissions-free driving in the great outdoors
Four electric motors and a quattro drive
Aicon and friends: Audi bringing all four visionary vehicles to the IAA
Ingolstadt/Frankfurt, September 10, 2019 – Audi is completing its quartet of visionary vehicles and will be at IAA 2019 to showcase an electric off-roader for the future of road transport: the Audi AI:TRAIL quattro, a comprehensive concept for sustainable mobility off the beaten track. All four visionary use case vehicles—the Audi Aicon, AI:ME, AI:RACE and AI:TRAIL will be on show together at Audi's stand in Hall 3 throughout the whole of IAA 2019.
The four-seater Audi AI:TRAIL quattro combines the capacity for automated driving with superb off-road capabilities. The glass surrounding the cabin extends all the way to ground level, providing unrivaled all-round visibility. The ample battery capacity ensures sufficient range even away from dense networks of charging stations.
The "Trail" part of the name evokes the idea of exploring nature. That is why there are no big screens on board for streaming TV series or videoconferencing; instead, broad glass surfaces provide a clear view of the surroundings.
This is how Marc Lichte, Audi's Head of Design, describes the use case: "With the AI:TRAIL, we are showing an off-road concept with an emissions-free electric drive for an innovative driving experience away from paved roads. Consistent with this, we designed a monolithic basic vehicle body with maximum glazing to create an intense connection to the surroundings. A concept for sustainable mobility on demand."
Audi's visionary vehicles
The Audi AI:TRAIL quattro is the fourth entrant in the series of concept cars with electric drive systems, which began with the presentation of the Audi Aicon at the 2017 iteration of the IAA. Following this luxury-class vehicle very much intended for highly automated long-distance driving, an emissions-free monoposto designed for the race track, the Audi PB18 e-tron, made its debut in Pebble Beach in 2018. It has been given a new name in time for IAA 2019, gaining the shared "AI" prefix to indicate that it, too, is part of the family. It is now known as the AI:RACE, which leaves no illusions as to the purpose of the electric sports car.
The third in the series, the Audi AI:ME—introduced at the 2019 Auto Shanghai show—is an autonomous city car aimed at megacities all over the world. It allows its passengers to stop worrying about the stop-and-go traffic that is inevitable in urban areas, offering them perfect connectivity and a comprehensive range of infotainment services, helping them to spend their time in the vehicle as usefully and as relaxed as possible.
Finally, with the AI:TRAIL, Audi is now opening up the potential applications for its visionary vehicles to include off-road terrain. The car is equipped with four electric motors, systems for assisted and automated driving and—typically for Audi—quattro permanent all-wheel drive.
The Aicon, AI:ME, AI:RACE and AI:TRAIL are united by more than just the concept of sustainable drive systems and a body line that will run far into the future. They also embody an entirely new mobility concept for the brand with the four rings. Unlike the cars of the present, such vehicles will no longer have to compromise between a wide range of uses and scenarios. Instead, it will be possible to design tomorrow's cars for much more specific use cases. In the future, customers will be able to order any of these specialist Audi models from an Audi on demand vehicle pool to suit their personal preferences and requirements and to lease them for a limited period.
In the process, they will not have to miss out on the high level of customization that is taken for granted in the premium segment nowadays. That is because it will be possible for all the user's available data and preferences to be taken into account in the process of configuring and equipping the vehicle for lease. Customers who book a vehicle will then not only get their desired vehicle but also can have it configured to suit their personal preferences as far as possible. The color, interiors, and technical options can be pre-configured online with the app or via the driver details stored in the myAudi system. Even drivers' preferred interior temperature, the perfect ergonomic seat adjustment, and their personal music library will already be activated when they get into the car.
This offer is accessible and easy to use via a simple app that connects the vehicle order, personal preferences of the user, and numerous options that can be used while on the road.
Technology that's plain to see – the exterior
With an exterior length of 4.15 metres and a width of 2.15 meters, the brawny Audi AI:TRAIL's potential away from paved roads is immediately apparent. The roof height of 1.67 metres and the enormous 22-inch wheels with 850 mm tyres hint at the vehicle's excellent off-road capabilities even when it is standing still. With a ground clearance of an impressive 34 centimetres, it can ford through water more than half a metre deep.
On rough, rocky terrain, this architecture provides plenty of agility without the battery unit integrated in the floor coming into contact with the ground.
The cabin itself is an extensively glazed space surrounded by polygonal shapes, with room for up to four people. One characteristic feature—and one that indicates the vehicle's kinship with Aicon and AI:ME—is the protruding ridge halfway up the side windows. This line continues to both the front and rear and acts as a waistline uniting the entire body in one monolithic whole. With the electric drive system arranged around the axles and the battery in the floor, there is no need for overhanging sections or separate attachments for the motor or batteries. Something else that the four visionary Audi vehicles at IAA 2019 will be demonstrating is that the one-box design is becoming the gold standard for the age of the electric vehicle.
Light weight and maximum body stiffness are, of course, important technical objectives for off-roaders in particular. That is why the body of the Audi AI:TRAIL is made of a mixture of high-tech steel, aluminum and carbon fiber. As a result, it weighs just 1,750 kilograms despite its high-capacity battery.
With the Audi AI:TRAIL, form follows function. In the interior, the side window ridges give passengers space where they objectively need it the most—around their shoulders and elbows. They also provide extra space where they subjectively perceive it most acutely, as the way in which the side windows extend down low opens up a clear down to the ground, even between the wheels. The aim of the designers here was to give those inside the vehicle the best possible view of nature and their surroundings, breaking the boundaries between the interior and the world outside. When the car is moving, the occupants' gaze is not merely focused on the terrain ahead but is free to wander and happen upon little details in the open spaces around them. In the AI:TRAIL, passengers can relax and enjoy the tranquility of the ride without even having to think about it.
Helicopter-style all-round visibility
The windshield wraps around the front of the vehicle like the cockpit of a helicopter. Passengers have an unobstructed view of the road or trail both in front and to the sides. Nor is it just the front and sides that are transparent and covered in glass. Almost the entire roof, from the top of the windshield to the rear spoiler, allows a clear view of the sky and the landscape. Even the vertical Singleframe is glazed, with only the four rings of the badge sitting in their customary position in what is otherwise a glass octagon.
Both the windshield and the tailgate open wide, providing easy access to large storage compartments with straps to keep luggage secure in transit. Integrated in the bumper at the rear is another separate compartment for dirty items such as hiking boots, climbing gear or wet clothing.
The side sills beneath the opposing doors act as retractable running boards. This makes it easier to load and unload the roof rack. Instead of bulky wheel wells, horizontal fenders are all that sit above the four wheels. That makes it possible to see the suspension in action from the cockpit even during travel.
Bulky transverse links and MacPherson suspension struts with coil springs and adaptive dampers provide suitable robustness and ensure safe driving stability. The special tire design becomes apparent at first glance, as the profile appears to be drawn all the way up into the high tire sidewalls. However, behind it lies a structure of supporting struts, which are integrated in the treads, and the actual surface. This design allows the tyres themselves—in addition to the suspension struts—to contribute a further 60 millimetres of suspension travel. Aside from improved off-road capability, this provides the occupants with an enormous amount of additional comfort.
The tyres also feature variable, sensor-controlled air pressure regulation. Optical sensors and electronic stability control (ESC) work together to detect the condition of the road surface and adjust the air pressure in the tyres accordingly. As regards traction, it can be useful to reduce the pressure, such as when driving on sand, and thereby increase the tire contact patch. By the same token, increasing the pressure again when switching to asphalt increases drive stability.
Reduction as a principle of style – the interior
The interior of the Audi AI:TRAIL is tidy and spacious, and it has just a few visible control elements. There are two comfortable-looking, almost delicate seat shells in the front row, both equipped with four-point seat belts. Light colors dominate the upper interior area down to the level of the seat cushion and the low dashboard. The openness to the outside world appears all the more present; the occupant's eye is drawn to the large glass areas in the front and side sections and guided through the almost fully glazed roof.
Pedals, a yoke for a steering wheel, a few buttons, and a smartphone attached to the steering column as a display and control center for vehicle functions and navigation—those are all the elements there are for the interaction between the driver and the vehicle.
The whole color concept with its blue and gray surfaces and earthy tones emphasizes the connection between the interior and the surrounding nature. The sense of touch adds to this perception, with rough, granular surfaces indicating functional qualities. Smooth wool felt in the luggage compartment provides a cozy contrast. Like in previous concept cars, the Audi designers also use recycled materials in the AI:TRAIL. The carpet is made of reprocessed wool with recycled leather, both of which are sustainable and durable, and feature excellent acoustic and climatic properties.
There is storage space between the seats and also under the windshield. Tensioning straps secure any stowed objects, which can also be loaded from the outside through the upward-folding windshield. Seat belt retractors ensure that the tensioning straps always have optimum tension.
The second row features a novelty in the form of two seats designed like hammocks. When taut and tensioned in a transportable tubular frame, panels of fabric form a comfortable seating surface and backrest, and the backrest that is drawn around to the side even provides lateral support. These seats are good for relaxation in more ways than one, as they can even be taken out of the AI:TRAIL and used as mobile outdoor chairs.
Mobility and multifunctionality are features of the Audi AI:TRAIL's light sources as well. Instead of conventional headlights, self-contained light sources sit below the A-pillars and can shine both outward and inward. These LED elements are dimmable and adjustable and can be used as interior lighting as well as for lighting the vehicle's path. The rear light operates in a similar way. Extending across the full width of the rear section, this element can be used to illuminate the luggage compartment and as distinctive signature lighting for the exterior.
Instead of conventional low beams and high beams, the Audi AI:TRAIL is equipped with a total of five rotorless, triangular, electrically operated drones with integrated matrix LED elements. They are capable of landing on a roof rack or directly on the roof of the vehicle, and docking onto the inductive charging elements.
The flying objects are Audi Light Pathfinders, which generate their lift in the same way as bladeless fans produce their air flow. Thanks to their markedly lightweight design, they can fly ahead of the AI:TRAIL, consuming comparably little energy in the process, and illuminate the path ahead, thereby replacing headlights entirely. If desired, the on-board cameras generate a video image that can be transmitted to the display in front of the driver via Wi-Fi, turning the Pathfinders into eyes in the sky.
When the AI:TRAIL is stationary, the drones can also illuminate the surrounding area from their position on the roof; for example, when the occupants are enjoying a picnic next to the vehicle. They can also illuminate the interior through the transparent panoramic roof if the occupants prefer to remain inside the vehicle.
The drones, which are coordinated fully automatically by the AI:TRAIL, usually fly at least in pairs. If necessary, they can also provide additional light intensity or illuminate the area around the vehicle by coming together to form groups of up to five drones. The occupants can simply use control software on their smartphones to set their desired scenario.
The Audi Light Companion is just as easy to use. This is a light source that is shaped like a large flashlight but has a much more extensive range of functions. It is normally magnetically attached to the front side of the seat, where it acts as ambient lighting. However, you can also take the Light Companion with you when you leave the AI:TRAIL, and this is when it really shows what it can do. Integrated in its housing are three legs that can be used to stand the light in place and turn it into a campfire light or a close-range floodlight. The housing also accommodates several cameras that can scan the way ahead or take videos of the scenery, which can then be uploaded directly so social media.
However, that is not the end of the Audi Light Companion's talents. When integrated with the AI:TRAIL's navigation system, it is capable of projecting directional symbols and even written information onto a route and thereby helping AI:TRAIL users to find their way around when hiking.
Audi AI – on the road to smart mobility
Audi AI:ME and Audi Aicon: two concept cars whose very names refer to the new, two-letter abbreviation under which Audi is bundling an entire cluster of innovative mobility technologies. There is now a new member of the family in the form of the AI:TRAIL. Audi AI is the code for a variety of electronic systems that relieve strain on drivers and simultaneously offer them new ways to use the time spent in the car. To this end, Audi AI also uses strategies and technologies from the field of artificial intelligence and machine learning. Audi AI combines vehicle intelligence, which makes automated driving possible in the first place, and interaction intelligence, which turns the vehicle into the occupants' partner.
Audi AI systems are capable of learning and thinking, while also being proactive and personal. Thanks to Audi AI, models bearing the four rings will be both intelligent and empathetic in the future. They will be able to continually interact with their surroundings and passengers and thus adapt themselves in a better way than ever before to the requirements of those on board.
Automated driving on roads, driver assistance in rough terrain
What is already established in rail transportation and aviation is now at the threshold of a breakthrough in automotive transportation—automated driving. The Audi AI:TRAIL is designed for driving on roads up to level 4.
Level 4 is the second-highest level on a standardized international scale for increasing automation. Although systems in this category do not require any assistance on the part of the driver, their function is limited to a specific area—such as highways or areas of inner cities equipped with suitable infrastructure. In these places, the driver can completely transfer the task of driving to the system. The driver needs to resume the task only when the car leaves the area defined for fully automated driving. The Audi AI:TRAIL is therefore equipped with the traditional steering wheel and pedals.
The driver will need them when going off road at the latest. After all, although even unpaved dirt tracks and forest paths have been mapped extensively through digital cartography, the way in which their surfaces frequently erode makes them too variable to allow their limits and any damage to be digitalized for automated driving reliably and for any extended period. Automated driving in the reduced-speed level 3 range can therefore be possible on dirt roads only in exceptional cases and at low speeds. In these situations, the driver will have several seconds to take over.
But the sensors and assist systems don't leave the driver of the AI:TRAIL alone, even off-road. First of all, there is the tried and tested sensor system for the ESP on board, of course. The data for friction values and slip, longitudinal and lateral acceleration provide the electronics with all necessary parametres they need in order to optimize drive stability. There is also a whole range of sensors that can detect both the road surface and obstacles; they work with optical systems such as cameras and lasers, as well as with ultrasound and radar. The data that they provide enables the central driver assistance system to avoid collisions by intervening with the steering and braking as needed.
The electronics also assist the driver with conquering uneven stretches; for example. when the vehicle is in a tilted position or on particularly challenging inclines. Where necessary, the systems warn the driver when critical limits are about to be exceeded, such as ground clearance or angles of incidence that are difficult to control. They can also keep the vehicle on track, within the limits of the system—much like a lane-keeping assist working in concert with cruise control. Depending on the circumstances, this puts the vehicle at automation level 2. However, it requires the driver to be paying attention at all times. The smart assistance systems do provide effective support, definitely help to improve safety and take a significant amount of the strain off the driver.
Discovering life at a slower pace – the drive system
The performance specifications for the Audi AI:TRAIL are markedly different from those for conventional automobiles. That is because the car's development was not about achieving remarkably quick acceleration or hitting breathtaking speeds on the autobahn.
Given that the AI:TRAIL is intended for use in areas without charging infrastructure, the thing that really draws the attention is its range. The stated target with its lithium-ion battery is 400 to 500 kilometres on roads or easy off-road terrain (in line with the WLTP). On rough ground, where the almost constantly elevated wheel slip alone means that energy consumption is higher, the limit is still an impressive 250 kilometres.
In order to meet these requirements, the vehicle is designed to reach a maximum speed of 130 km/h on the road. The vehicle electronics continuously monitor the energy flow and consumption, thereby ensuring maximum economy even during off-road driving.
In terms of drive hardware, the Audi AI:TRAIL is equipped with four electric motors installed near the wheels, each of which propels one wheel directly. As is typical for Audi, the off-roader is therefore a true quattro. The maximum system output is 320 kilowatts and the maximum torque is 1,000 Newton-metres. Usually only a fraction of this power is mobilized; the drive of just one axle is often sufficient.
Due to the individually propelled wheels, the vehicle can do without differentials and locks, which also consume energy. Thanks to the moderately calculated maximum speed, the gear ratio can be designed such that every wheel is provided with enough torque even without a multi-speed transmission.
The electronics coordinate driving stability and traction. If energy-consuming slip can be avoided, it reduces the supply of torque to the affected wheel. However, in situations in which slip is useful, such as on low-grip uphill stretches, the system permits it automatically. The large amounts of reserve power of the AI:TRAIL allow it to conquer challenging stretches even in difficult conditions—confidently, safely and always without emissions.
The Audi Group, with its brands Audi, Ducati and Lamborghini, is one of the most successful manufacturers of automobiles and motorcycles in the premium segment. It is present in more than 100 markets worldwide and produces at 18 locations in 13 countries. 100 percent subsidiaries of AUDI AG include Audi Sport GmbH (Neckarsulm), Automobili Lamborghini S.p.A. (Sant'Agata Bolognese, Italy) and Ducati Motor Holding S.p.A. (Bologna, Italy).

Thank you for the information on the new Programme for under 11's.
Can you confirm if it is possible to arrange through payment or otherwise to request a further additional copy of the activity cards.
Companies who are large in number, meet on different nights etc my require this. I understand that you are supplying free copies to Companies but if there is a possibility to pay for these it would be appreciated.
Hi John, it's likely a limited amount will be purchasable through BB Supplies, and potentially more depending on demand.

As for that no-practice-of-law statement, LegalForce argued that it was false because TM411 has "list[ed] its email address as a trademark correspondent on at least 7,247 trademark applications, but failed to allege facts indicating that the use of "correspondent" is a representation that the user is an attorney or that consumers would think so.
LegalForce also challenged "[w]e guarantee your trademark gets filed, or your money-back [sic]" as allegedly misleading consumers that TM411 could file "any and all trademarks including ones that the customer does not own and fraudulent trademark applications." This wasn't literal falsity, but LegalForce failed to allege facts indicating that consumers had been deceived into believing that TM411 would submit fraudulent applications to the PTO.
Finally, LegalForce alleged that the statement that "your information is protected" was misleading because it "misleads consumers to believe that communications with [TM411] are protected by the attorney client privilege or attorney work product privilege." Again, LegalForce failed to allege facts indicating consumer deception.
That took care of the Lanham Act claims; to the extent that state law claims were based on other conduct, as TM411's having bought LegalForce's "Trademarkia" as a Google AdWord; submitting "fraudulent specimens" to the USPTO; failing to maintain an IOLTA account for customers; and failing to regulate its non-practitioner assistants' conduct, the court declined to exercise supplemental jurisdiction.
