The time has come to move. You might be planning a quick jaunt across town or a trek through the American wilderness to a faraway city you have seen only in pictures. Maybe you need to clear out the basement to make room for your kid sister to move in for the summer, and you plan to put all your odds and ends into a self storage unit. Maybe it is business. Perhaps your boss finally gave you the go ahead to modernize the office and that self storage unit will soon be home to all the old files, mismatched chairs and old computers your boss says you cannot toss. Whatever the reason, you need a moving truck.
First, determine your budget and your available manpower. Can you afford a company that will pack up your belongings and move them for you? Do you have enough stuff to justify the added cost, or could you and your friends, family, coworkers or a couple of hired hands (paid by the hour) handle the move for a much lower cost?
If you opt to rent a truck and move everything yourself, you will find that many companies offer truck rentals, but which should you choose? As you compare costs, you may find one company that simply offers a better price, but be sure to include all costs in the comparison. Often the company will charge a flat fee plus a per mile fee. In addition, figure in gas costs and insurance if you need it. Check with your insurance provider to see if your auto policy covers truck rentals. If not, find out if you can add this for a lower fee than the truck rental company charges.
For long moves renting a hitch and trailer may be more economical as truck rental companies often charge only a flat fee and not a per mile charge. If you choose this option, be sure to budget extra for gas. The rental company may be able to help you figure the cost of this expense.
Can you rent or purchase moving aids like a dolly, boxes, tape or furniture pads at the rental facility? Compare prices to make sure the low truck rate doesn't come at the expense of high fees for other items the company requires you to use.
Understand the deposit terms. Do you have limited funds available on your credit card? Some companies may accept a cash deposit while others may require a credit card. Find out if the deposit is more for different vehicles and how long it will take for the deposit to be returned to you or the charge lifted from your credit card. If putting the charge on your debit card, can you afford to have the hold on your card for that amount of time or would it be more convenient to charge the deposit to a credit card?
Understand reservation terms. Know what happens if you cancel. Will you be charged a cancellation fee?
Compare equipment. Can you get an automatic transmission for the size vehicle you need? Are the trucks air conditioned? Does the vehicle have a built-in ramp and how wide or high is it? Compare cab sizes. Can it fit one extra driver or two? What safety features are available like air bags, seatbelts, mirrors and visibility enhancements? Does it use diesel or unleaded?
Determine the size truck you need. If you don't have much to move, maybe a van rental would work better than a truck. Sometimes the flat fee for a small truck rental is comparable to the rental price of a van, but the gas costs might be higher. On the other hand, vans do not always include ramps and, therefore, may be more difficult to load. Truck size is often based on the number of rooms you need to move. A small truck may have the square footage in the storage section to carry enough to fill a one-bedroom apartment while a large truck may move a three-bedroom house. When comparing truck rental companies, compare the square footage offered in same-sized vehicles. To save costs you may want to donate, sell or toss what you don't need.
Compare vehicle suspension features. Be sure you have a driver who can comfortably maneuver a bulky moving truck in the size you rent. Trucks handle differently than cars. While you may not have much problem driving a truck across town, a long journey at highway speeds could be more difficult.
Plan ahead. In some places certain times of year see a lot of people moving. Many people move in the summer. In college towns students move in and out at semester breaks, particularly in late spring and early summer. Perhaps recruitment cycles at a nearby military base or seasonal employment in a tourist town affect the availability of truck rentals during predictable times of the year. At these times, trucks may not be available or may have unusual terms like decreased rental periods for higher fees. Check with local truck providers ahead of your move to make sure you reserve you truck far enough in advance or to help you choose the best time to rent a truck.
Plan your route. Find the shortest distance with the least gas-guzzling terrain. A 20-mile drive up and down a mountain may take more gas than a 30-mile trip through a valley. Remember to include fees for toll roads as you plan your route.
Know what happens if your truck breaks down en route. Does the company pay for the repairs? Will you pay out-of-pocket and be reimbursed, or will the rental company pay up front? Does the company require you to use service stations? If so, will one be easy to find on the route you have planned? Will you be charged a daily fee while the truck holding your belongings is in the shop, or can you get a replacement, even if you are in a small town a thousand miles from where you started?
Renting the right truck may take a little research. Get recommendations from friends, or find out if your company offers discounts when employees use a certain provider. A little planning, can make the hassle of moving much more enjoyable.


This is a nice pendant which can be worn also as a brooch. It features a lovely, cabochon garnet with a natural pearl surround and a pearl star in the center. The back is covered with glass, and is empty, so one could place a lock or hair or a photo of a loved one. It is not hinged, but a jeweler could lift the gold rim so that something could be placed in the back of the locket if one so desired. The piece also features a bow, from which the locket hangs, and the bow contains a modern safety lock, as well as a bale, so that the piece could be worn in both ways. It is unmarked but acid tested 18 carat gold, and it weighs 20.4 grams, and measures 2 and 1/2 inches North to South, and 1 and 1/8 inches East to West. This is a lovely, circa 1860 piece, which is very versatile, and is sure to be noticed.

Q: Calling ListView inside ListView recursively I'm trying to list all of my comments inside ListView. They have parent - children relationship and I wanna show them from method which calls itself recursively when pressed button to show child comments.
listViewComments(List<Comments>? comments) {
    return ListView.builder(
      scrollDirection: Axis.vertical,
      shrinkWrap: true,
      physics: const NeverScrollableScrollPhysics(),
      itemCount: comments!.length,
      itemBuilder: (BuildContext context, int index) {
        return Padding(
          padding: const EdgeInsets.symmetric(vertical: 1, horizontal: 4),
          child: Card(
            child: ListTile(
              leading: CircleAvatar(
                backgroundImage: NetworkImage(
                    getPictureOfUser(comments[index].userId),
                    headers: tokenWithHeader),
              ),
              title: SizedBox(

              ),
              subtitle: Column(
                crossAxisAlignment: CrossAxisAlignment.start,
                children: [
                  Text(comments[index].text),
                  Row(
                    children: [
                      TextButton(
                        onPressed: () {},
                        child: Wrap(
                            crossAxisAlignment: WrapCrossAlignment.center,
                            children: const [
                              Icon(Icons.reply),
                              Text(
                                'REPLY',
                                style: TextStyle(
                                  fontSize: 9.0,
                                ),
                              ),
                            ]),
                      ),
                      if (comments[index].childComments.isNotEmpty)
                        TextButton(
                          onPressed: () {
                            listViewComments(comments[index].childComments);
                          },
                          child: Text(           //show if there's child comment
                            'SHOW (${comments[index].childComments.length})',
                            style: const TextStyle(
                              fontSize: 9.0,
                            ),
                          ),
                        ),
                    ],
                  ),
                ],
              ),
            ),
          ),
        );
      },
    );
  }

When I execute this code nothing happens. Why is that and is there any better way to do this?

A: You'd need a state to show/hide the comments. To do it so, you can extract a StatefulWidget with this state or use StatefulBuilder directly in the function like the following code:

  listViewComments(List<Comments>? comments) {
    return ListView.builder(
      scrollDirection: Axis.vertical,
      shrinkWrap: true,
      physics: const NeverScrollableScrollPhysics(),
      itemCount: comments!.length,
      itemBuilder: (BuildContext context, int index) {
        return Padding(
          padding: const EdgeInsets.symmetric(vertical: 1, horizontal: 4),
          child: Builder(builder: (context) {
            var showChildComments = false;
            return StatefulBuilder(builder: (context, setState) {
              return Card(
                child: ListTile(
                  leading: CircleAvatar(
                      backgroundImage: NetworkImage(
                          getPictureOfUser(comments[index].userId),
                          headers: tokenWithHeader),
                      ),
                  title: SizedBox(
                    width: 300,
                    child: Text(
                        "${comments[index].userFirstName} ${comments[index].userLastName}"),
                  ),
                  subtitle: Column(
                    crossAxisAlignment: CrossAxisAlignment.start,
                    children: [
                      Text(comments[index].text),

Concert Review: Ella Vos @ U Street Music Hall (3/5/18)
Ella Vos (Photo from FB @EllaVosMusic)
Ella Vos charms DC again!
On March 5th, Ella Vos gave the U Street Music Hall crowd just the right mix of energy and excellent electronic pop tunes.
As she came on stage, we were greeted with pulsing purple lights bouncing off the excited crowd and radiating from a crystalline sculpture of crystal-shaped skyscrapers, as if bursting from the pedestal. The lights danced while she opened with "Words I Never Said, Pt. 1" before jumping into the hauntingly beautiful "Rearrange".
Back in June of 2017, we had the pleasure of seeing Ella for the first time at the Songbyrd Music House in the time when her two singles were blowing up on Spotify.
She's now, according to her, 'on her first tour', to support her debut album, Words I Never Said. Freya Ridings is joining her on the tour as the opener.
Ella sang her heart out on 14 songs over the course of the too short (by our measure), yet not an unreasonably timed set (a brisk one hour) with just one album to draw from.
Next she played "Little Brother", which could be my favorite from her. Many of Ella's songs have a resonating drum beat that almost has a life of its own, when contrasted with her softly urgent voice and the other musical arrangements. The beat is prominent in "Little Brother", and in songs like "I Know You Care", "Down In Flames", and "You Don't Know About Me" the drum is a presence you can't shake (but you could shake to it if you desired). Set stage left, a half step from her microphone stand, a big drum was put to the test over and over, adding life to each song. Ella, and her one supporting band member, didn't need to go far to keep the pounding beat alive.
When I arrived at Uhall, I chanced by the artist's door and in that brief moment when the door opened, I saw Ella sitting and chatting, smiling radiantly, hoop earrings bouncing, getting ready for the show.
Her enthusiasm didn't diminish on stage, and she pleasantly engaged the crowd with observations like, 'DC, you look different from when I last saw you, you look beautiful tonight' and playful bits like, 'I'm wearing a ponytail for the first time in 10 years, is it okay?' or wanting to get a big photo with the backdrop of everyone enjoying themselves.
Certain songs she wrote during a 'time of darkness and confusion, turning into light', like the atmospheric and upbeat sounding, "Mother (Don't Cry)", which still manages to plaintively look internally at the anxiety and shock of becoming a mother. She also performed two covers, like "Toxic" by Britney Spears, which turns out she and Freya posted a rendition of on YouTube. Her 'favorite song to sing' is Bon Iver's "00000 Million", and the crowd rustled in recognition and approval.
Later, the song "Suddenly" began with a poignantly recorded voice over, and again brought the pulsing lights and the crystals to full effect while lamenting that 'suddenly, you're what I need, everywhere you go, I'll follow.' And we may all have left Uhall with the same opinion.
Ella ended with her break-out song "White Noise" and described it as the reason she started writing music.
Sadly she didn't return for an encore, so I had to assuage the disappointment with an $8 copy of her new album from the merch table. Okay, okay, I planned to acquire the album either way…
Get yourself a copy of Words I Never Said and be on the look out for her next show in DC!

Stocking up on propane? Here's how to store your propane cylinders that are waiting to be used or are ready to be refilled.
The information in this guide was gathered from the National Fire Protection Agency, NFPA, Pamphlet 58, Chapter 8 Storage of Cylinders Awaiting Use, Resale, or Exchange.
This pamphlet refers to propane cylinders of 1000 lb (454 kg) of water capacity or less, which may be filled, partially filled or empty in these scenarios:
– Cylinders that are not connected to an appliance and are at a consumer location or dispensing station
– Not in use and kept in storage by a re-seller or to be exchanged by a dealer
Important Storage Tips for your Propane Container
Guidelines for areas to store gas cylinders
Propane tanks are affected by exposure to excessive temperature increases. It is best to keep the cylinder in a temperature-controlled location that is also safe from receiving any physical damage, such as being banged into, objects falling on to it, etc.
Store gas cylinders out of the way of heavy traffic areas used by people, including stairways, entryways and exits.
If storing a gas container with a water capacity more than 2.7 lb (1.1 kg), ensure that the pressure relief valve is in direct contact with the vapor space of the cylinder.
Gas containers that are empty though were previously used for LP gas service, these need to be considered as though they were full while stored indoors, using the same safety precautions.
To limit exposure to extreme heat and direct sunlight, do not store gas cylinders on the roof of a building.
Guidelines to store propane cylinders inside a building:
Heavily trafficked buildings:
For buildings that are frequented by people or have residents, the regulation is cylinders must not contain more than 200 lb (91 kg) of gas nor a water capacity of above 2.7 lb (1.1 kg)
For restaurants and food service areas, there is a limit to the number of butane 10 oz (283 g) non-refillable containers. The limit is no more than (24) containers can be stored in one area. Another (24) 10 oz. butane non-refillable containers can be stored in another location in the building that is separated by a minimum 2-hour fire wall protection.
Buildings not intended for public use:
The amount of gas in a storage area cannot exceed 735 lb (334 kg) of water capacity.
Storage of gas cylinders on the same floor must be separated by a minimum of 300 feet.
If service vehicles are carrying gas cylinders and are parked at the facility, this quantity is not considered part of the max quantity allowed because they are separated in the garage. These service vehicles are not allowed to carry more than three cylinders that must be under 100 lb of gas total.
Guidelines for storage within special buildings and rooms:
For this designation the maximum amount of LP gas that can be stored is 10,000 lb (4540 kg).
These designated rooms or buildings to store this capacity of LP gas must not share a property line with schools, churches, hospitals, athletic fields or other areas meant for public gatherings.
Before constructing a designated location to house this capacity of LP Gas please refer to Chapter 10 of the NFPA Pamphlet 58. Other guidelines to follow include:
Proper ventilation that is specific to the top and bottom of the building and is 5 feet in distance away from any building opening.
Referring to Section 6.20, this building will be designated for the strict purpose of ignition source control
Guidelines for storage within residential buildings:
Referring to the basement, garage or designated storage area in a residential building, gas cylinders must not exceed 2.7 lb (1.2 kg) of water capacity. For smaller containers stored in each living space, the total amount must not exceed 5.4 lb (2.4 kg) of water capacity.
Guidelines for storing gas cylinders outside of a building:
There must be a distance of 5 ft. (1.5 m) between the gas cylinder and any opening to a building that is trafficked by the public and has two exit ways, as defined by the NFPA 101 Life Safety Code.
If a building has only one exit way, the gas cylinders need to be at least 10 ft (3 m) away from the opening to the building.
A distance of at least 20 ft (6.1 m) is required at an automotive service station fuel dispenser.
While storing gas containers outside of a building the following need to be considered:
The distance from the closest building(s) of importance
Distance from the nearest property line that may be built on
The distance from a heavily trafficked walkway or sidewalk
The distance from adjacent property for schools, churches, hospitals, athletic fields or other areas intended for public gatherings
The distance from a dispensing station
Cylinders exempt from these regulations are those in the process of being filled.
Guidelines for protecting the cylinder while in storage:
Please refer to section 6.16.5.2 for the proper enclosure required for gas containers that are stored in a location that is open to the public. Gas containers may also be locked in a ventilated metal locker to deter and prevent tampering with the valves or the container itself.
Another important factor is protection against any possible vehicle impact by safeguarding the cylinders through engineering practices.
Alternative location and storage protection:
In the event that previously mentioned guidelines are unattainable at construction sites or with buildings undergoing major renovation or repairs, alternate storage must be approved by the jurisdiction in authority.
Guidelines for protecting the valves of the cylinder while in storage:
The cylinder outlets must remain closed during storage whether they are full, partially full, or empty containers. All screw caps must be placed on and secured.
For containers with less than 108 lb (49 kg) water capacity, valve outlets must be sealed per 7.2.2.5
Please refer to sections 5.2.6.1 and 7.2.2.5 to be in accordance with regulations on protecting valves in storage.
Protecting against fire:
An approved portable fire extinguisher with a minimum capacity of 18 lb (9.2 kg) of dry chemical with a B:C rating, must be stored in the area where the gas cylinders stored total a quantity of gas that exceeds 720 lb (327 kg)
This fire extinguisher must be within 50 ft (15 m) from the storage facility of gas cylinders.

Q: Combining two tables with keys that contain null I have two tables that I am joining
|id |profit|
| 1 | 1234 |
| 2 | 1345 |
| 4 | 1454 |
| 5 | 1254 |

and another table
| id | x loss | y loss |
| 2  | 34312  | 4354   |
| 3  | 35614  | 4365   |
| 4  | 36615  | 4321   |

and combining the two, this would be the result I want
| id | profit | x loss | y loss |
| 1  | 1234   | Null   | Null   |
| 2  | 1345   | 34312  | 4354   |
| 3  | Null   | 35614  | 4365   |
| 4  | 1454   | 36615  | 4321   |
| 5  | 1254   | Null   | Null   |

The code that I used was
Select x.id, y.id, y.profit, x.xloss, x.yloss
from
    (select id, SUM(xloss) as xloss, SUM(yloss) AS yloss
     from #SYSLOSSINC
     group by id) x
  full outer join
    (Select id,sum(profit) as profit
     from #MTDPROFIT
     group by ProductCode) y
  on x.id = y.id

I could not select just the id because of the error: "ambiguous column name 'id'", and this is creating two columns with id as such
| id   | id   | Profit | xloss | yloss|
| Null | 1    | 1234   | Null  | Null |
| 2    | 2    | 1345   | 34312 | 4354 |
| 3    | Null | Null   | 35614 | 4365 |
| 4    | 4    | 1454   | 36615 | 4321 |
| Null | 5    | 1254   | Null  | Null |

How can I combine the id into one column so that null does not show up?

A: This is actually simpler than you think. To get only one ID column, try:
SELECT ISNULL(x.Id, y.Id) as Id,...

At risk pregnant women plead for access to Pfizer
By A Current Affair Staff|5 months ago
Thanks to the latest outbreak in Sydney, some expecting couples have said their first taste of parenting has been shrouded with anxiety and stress.
Pregnant women who have an increased risk of severe illness from COVID-19 have been desperately calling for more protection against the virus.
But despite a recent change in health advice which recommending the Pfizer vaccine for expecting mothers, some are still struggling to get access to COVID-19 vaccines.

WIN Journalist Katie Gallagher, 26, is a first-time mum in the final trimester of her pandemic pregnancy.
Although Ms Gallagher has a health condition, she's been unable to get a vaccine - which is causing her and husband Joe concern.
"It has been a real worry for me because I have asthma, which the obstetrician has told me I need to be careful of not harming the baby if I have an asthma attack - and of course COVID-19 is a respiratory illness," Mrs Gallagher said.

"It's just not good enough, it shouldn't have taken this long for pregnant women to be acknowledged and included in the rollout to begin with."
The calls for pregnant women to be bumped up the priority list for the COVID-19 vaccine have now been answered and according to the Federal Government's updated advice, right now expectant mums of any age are eligible to "immediately get the Pfizer jab".
But now the real work could be convincing them that it's safe.

Jane Halton of the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations said there's a lot of misinformation that targets expecting mums.
"We have heard all sorts of rumours of the implications, about people's fertility, bad implications for the baby ... none of these are true," she said.
"Consult with your clinician… undoubtedly you have got someone you are working with, but it is safe at any point."
Jane Halton of the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations. (A Current Affair)
Ms Halton said the reason for the Federal Government's recommendation change is because the vaccine risk is "minute" when compared with contracting COVID-19.
Pregnant women with COVID-19 are five times more likely to be hospitalised and three times more likely to end up in the intensive care unit and needing ventilation, while their newborn is at risk of being born prematurely.
Obstetrician Doctor Ric Gordon is confident the Pfizer vaccine is safe for mothers and he said it can also help protect their unborn baby.
"What we do know in these vaccines is give the body a protein ... the body reacts to it ... and then your own body makes antibodies. And the beauty of those antibodies is they flow across to the baby," Dr Gordon said.
Obstetrician Doctor Ric Gordon. (A Current Affair)
"You are probably doing it some good because those antibodies will travel through your breastmilk to your baby.
"It does not interfere with ovulation; it does not interfere with sperm function; it does not affect your chance of getting pregnant - so get vaccinated."
But Dr Gordon said expectant mums need to be prepared.
He said like the flu jab, the COVID-19 vaccines can come with some minor side effects including "a sore arm" and "occasionally some people get a headache, feeling a bit tired over a day or two".
"But these wear off very, very quickly."
Pfizer vaccine supply is still an issue for many pregnant women. (A Current Affair)
But what isn't wearing off for pregnant women is the headache of trying to get access to the recommended Pfizer vaccine with supply still being a big issue.
"I called the GP on the weekend and there is no stock. So, we are back in this position where they couldn't tell me when they were getting more vaccines in," expectant mum Mrs Gallagher said.
With her baby due in October it's now a race against time for Mrs Gallagher to get her jab beforehand.
"The vaccine would make me feel more at ease and would really let me take the weight off my shoulders ... it would be one less thing to have to stress about," she said.

The ARCA blog comments on this statement, adding "Syria's heritage staff deserve encouragement and support, not magnifying glass criticism before conservation projects have even get under way." Read about it here.
These were prompted by several statements / letters issued by members of the international community. These include:
An open letter to UNESCO from Le Patrimonie Archaeologique Syrien en Danger on April 12 2016 which voices concerns over the possible restoration of Palmyra and the fact that Russia may emerge as "the only partner for the restoration of [Syrian] national identity." Read about it here.
SHIRIN also urges caution on plans related to the reconstruction of Palmyra on April 14 2016. See their statement here.
In addition, Blue Shield issued a statement on Palmyra on April 22 2016, urging caution in the development of plans for the sites' future – read more here.
The DGAM reports that UNESCO has sent experts to record the damage at Palmyra and report on it here. Four UNESCO employees from the Beirut and Paris offices visited Palmyra on April 25 2016: UNESCO's press releases on the situation are available here and here, and are covered in Sputnik news here.
A Russian resolution regarding the role of UNESCO in restoring Palmyra is approved by UNESCO. Read the resolution here.
Read about it from RT.com.
Conflict Urbanism: Aleppo is a project in two stages.
They have built an open-source, interactive, data-rich map of the city of Aleppo, at the neighborhood scale. Users can navigate the city, with the aid of high resolution satellite imagery from before and during the current civil war, and explore geo-located data about cultural sites and urban damage. They will add data as it becomes available; currently they are grateful for datasets from from Human Rights Watch, the United Nations Operational Satellite Applications Programme (UNOSAT), and the Humanitarian Information Unit (HIU) at the U.S. Department of State.
Second, the map is a platform into which additional data of all sorts can be integrated. It is an invitation to students and invited collaborators to record and narrate urban damage in Aleppo — at the cultural, infrastructural, or neighborhood scale — and to present that research in case studies which will be added to the website over time
The project is also available through the website of the Aleppo Project here. The team encourage people to upload information to the map.
ASOR CHI and UC San Diego's new Center for Cyber-Archaeology and Sustainability (CCAS) are working with the year-old crowdsourcing portal TerraWatchers to carry out a joint online mission to monitor nearly 11,000 archaeological sites located in Syria, Iraq and Lebanon.
On April 13 2016 the Antiquities Coalition launched it's #Cultureunderthreat Task Force Report, with multiple recommendations in how America can fight "cultural crimes". Read details of the launch, the executive summary, and download the full report on their website here.
The launch was also picked up the New York Times.
The US Senate votes to ban the import of Syrian artefacts on April 13 2016, and has now submitted HR 1493, 'The Protect and Preserve International Cultural Property Act' to President Obama for signature.
Once complete, the act will: 1) set up an interagency coordination committee to coordinate the efforts of the executive branch to protect and preserve international CP at risk, and 2) impose import restrictions with respect to archaeological and ethnological material of Syria. Read more here.
Congrats to all the hard work of those who have helped with this bill.

Although, according to Rick St. Hilaire
"Because the House of Representatives originally passed H.R. 1493 in a form that is different from what the Senate adopted, legislators now must reconcile the bills' differences", in his blog Cultural heritage lawyer.
Members of the G7 affirm their opposition to the destruction of cultural heritage in a communique issued following their meeting in Hiroshima.
"We stand against the destruction of cultural heritage by terrorist groups and the pillage and smuggling of antiquities. We call on private and public actors involved to take all appropriate measures to prevent such smuggling."

In one particularly interesting take on the Palmyrene Arch,
people were invited to fill out postcards "on which they were able to share any memories of the site and any thoughts, hopes and fears for its future, including whether it should be reconstructed or not".
Micropasts have crowdsourced transcribing them… (and a bunch of other stuff), and will hopefully publish them soon.
On Tuesday, 26 April 2016 at the "Kunsthistorisches Museum Wien", Austria, a new session of the "ICOM Palmyra Talks" was held, drawing an audience of some 200 attendees. Initiated by ICOM Austria under Chair Dr Danielle Spera, Director of the Jewish Museum Vienna, the objective of the event was to enhance public awareness of current threats to heritage sites arising from war and destruction, notably in Libya, and present solutions for the protection of cultural heritage. On this occasion, ICOM presented its Emergency Red List of Libyan Cultural Objects at Risk in German translation, following the list's initial launch in December 2015 in Arabic, English and French. The DG of UNESCO Irina Bokova also spoke about protecting cultural heritage. Details of the event here.

Mamas Gun have today share the new video for recent single 'London Girls' – the video, which features a female parkour artist crossing iconic London spots such as Southbank, The Square Mile and Trafalgar Square, arrives following details of the quintet's new album, Golden Days, which is set for release via Candelion on May 18, 2018.
'London Girls' holds a salient place for frontman and founder of the band, Andy Platts. "I wanted to write a London song" says the singer, "for most of my career, I've been making American-influenced music so it's nice to do stuff that kind of points to where you're from – having something with 'London' in the title without it being too tongue-in-cheek."
Whilst 'London Girls' works on a patriotic level, it also references the strong females that surround Platts, from his wife, Jodie Seymour who co-wrote the track, to his own Filipino mother who is depicted on the single's artwork. Platts, who was born in Kowloon, Hong Kong was introduced to music at a young age through his mother's Spanish guitar playing.
As well as previous support slots with the likes of Beverley Knight and Raphael Saadiq, Mamas Gun have performed at global music festivals including WOMAD, Greenroom,Java Jazz, and Pentaport. The soul quintet will make their live return at The Social, London on February 8, 2018 before embarking upon a headline UK tour later in the year.
Golden Days adds to a bustling back catalogue which has previously earned the band support from The Guardian, the Sunday Times, Uncut and Billboard. Albums including Routes to Riches, The Life & Soul and Cheap Hotel have – alongside the likes of Charles Bradley, Curtis Harding and the Dap Kings – helped fuel the vanguard of 21st century soul – as well as spawning Top 10 hits on four continents.

Book review: Closer Than You Know


It is important to understand the critical distinction between election fraud and voter fraud to fully understand what is happening, why it is happening, and likely who is behind it all.
Voter Fraud is what people do at the polls — illegals voting, voting more than once, felons voting, impersonating another voter, etc.
Election Fraud is something entirely different. It is the internal, digital alteration of the election results to change the outcome in favor of a preferred candidate despite the actual votes we cast on our ballots. It can happen by several different methods but in the end, the collective view of all of them begins to yield indications of who is behind it. A picture emerges of who benefited from it that can point to whom may have set it all in motion.
As I explained in the last installment, different anomalies appear in different elections. This is most likely the use of different tactics to achieve the same end so as not to establish a pattern of behavior that becomes more easily detectable.
Those involved in election fraud would be wise not to get too greedy or else they create suspicion and risk subsequent inspections or investigations. So, in hindsight, we can see that in 2016 when Republicans were largely winning up and down the ballot, handily defeating entrenched Democrat incumbents, the four seats on the NC Council of State that went to or remained in Democrat hands, were Governor, Attorney General, State Auditor and Secretary of State.
I do not think it is coincidence that those four positions just happen to be the four that have a constitutional or statutory role to play in the conduct of our elections and the investigation of voter /election fraud. Two Wake County seats held by Republicans Marilyn Avila and Gary Pendleton in the NC House were lost to Democrats. In 2018, two more Republicans were displaced: Chris Malone and Nelson Dollar. Yes. Don't get greedy. Inches at a time.
In the NC House District 103 race between incumbent Republican Bill Brawley and former Gov. James Baxter Hunt's daughter, Rachel Hunt, Brawley had a 390 vote lead if you look only at the votes cast in person during Early Voting or on Election Day. Yet Hunt won by 68 votes once the Absentee by Mail and Provisional Ballots had been tallied. There were only 57 Provisionals Approved or Partially Approved in that District so that means she gained a margin of more than 400 votes over Brawley from the Absentee by Mail ballots alone, the same type that were mishandled in other nearby counties. But no one is looking into that, at least officially. And still, those numbers were reported on the 16th of November and have not changed in spite of Mecklenburg County not having even reported their Provisional Ballot results to the State at that point.
When we consider the companion losses of several seats on the NC Supreme Court and other Legislative seats, there is a clear resurgence of Democrat occupancy of key positions in NC government.
It all makes sense when we entertain the prospect that they clearly want to be in control in 2020 when the new census is complete and election maps are redrawn accordingly for the next decade. But, with an election system that allows for negative votes, vote totals to be declared by the State before they are even submitted by the counties, or hundreds of lines of vote totals to go missing from the accounting, anything is possible.


You drop out of Second gear and ratchet the shifter from left to right in the gate. The car thumps satisfyingly as you roll up to the starting line and watch the tree's pre-staged and staged lights wink on. The lights cascade down the tree, and suddenly, you're off--blistering a great quarter-mile. But could it have been better?
Or maybe you're on the highway, and you reach down and grab a lower gear and step out to pass some wayward traveler. Does your Mustang have what it takes to pull out and pull away? Stunningly, we believe that most vintage Mustangs probably don't.
One sure way to find out whether your steed is fleet or foul is a chassis dyno. A couple of years ago ("Big-Block Blowout," Sept. '99, page 20) we dyno'd several big-block cars and came away with some numbers that were mild but still impressive. The winner of this shootout was Bob Myhrer, owner of the '71 429 SCJ. Since that time Bob has been blindly tuning the car for more power--or so he thought. After hearing Bob whine about the lack of go, we decided to dyno the car again to see what we could do to liven it up. The first vendors to help us were Summit Racing and Mustangs Plus. Summit provided the Holley tuning aids and the K&N products as well as a pair of Edelbrock air fuel meters, while Mustangs Plus set us up with its excellent aluminum driveshaft.

As the number of IVC filter injury-related lawsuits increases, doctors have taken a deeper look into what exactly may be causing faulty IVC filters to break. Experts believe that the movement and flattening of the vena cava, the location in which the filters are placed in order to prevent blood clots from forming in the lungs, may be the culprit.
Doctors from Baylor Scott & White Health's Department of Radiology in Dallas reported in a study, published in the Baylor University Medical Center Proceedings Journal, that the "foreshortening and flattening" of the vena cava may be the cause of injuries presented in IVC filter fracture lawsuits.
Doctors came to this conclusion after a complicated removal procedure involving a fractured Bard G2 IVC filter. The Bard G2 filter is one of the filters currently in litigation. During this particular removal procedure, the device fractured, which caused pieces of the filter to puncture the patient's vena cava.
IVC filters are implanted into the inferior vena cava for patients who are at high-risk of suffering from a pulmonary embolism. According to their manufacturers, these small and spider-shaped filters are designed to "catch" blood clots that may form in the body, and "filter" them by allowing the clots to thin over time. This prevents the clots from migrating into the lungs, which could be fatal.
However, according to a growing number of claims raised in product liability lawsuits filed against C.R. Bard and other manufacturers of these retrievable IVC filters, many devices sold and implanted are prone to failure Reports indicate that many of these devices migrate from their original location, which causes puncturing of veins and organs in the body, often sending pieces of the device into the patient's bloodstream.
In May of 2014, the FDA issued a warning to physicians to remove IVC filters within four to six weeks after an individual was no longer at risk of suffering a pulmonary embolism. The FDA discovered that the devices caused more problems for the patient the longer that the filter was left in place. Despite the potential harmful effects of these IVC devices, many of the manufacturers still sell the filters without properly informing doctors about the risks associated with leaving them in place for too long.
Physicians have also realized that while the retrieval of IVC filters has a relatively high success rate when removed within the first year of implantation, the procedure becomes much more complicated the longer that the filter remains in the body.
As mentioned, the large number of lawsuits brought against different IVC filter manufacturers is what prompted doctors to take a closer at the causes of the reported problems with these filters. Currently, there are over 700 pending lawsuits against C.R. Bard. These lawsuits are being presented before one judge for routine pretrial activities, as part of a multidistrict litigation (MDL). Nearly 650 Cook IVC filter lawsuits are also being brought about as part of a separate MDL.
It is expected that several thousand cases will be filed against these manufacturers on behalf of patients from all over the country. For all MDLs, "bellwether" trials are presently being prepared for trial. These trials provide an idea of how subsequent similar trials may resolve. This type of information and assessments may aid the judges and IVC filter manufacturers in determining an overall settlement amount. This allows avoidance of thousands of individual trials against these manufacturers throughout the country, which may take years of negotiations between large corporate firms and smaller plaintiff firms. So injured parties are fairly and adequately compensated, many plaintiff firms hope for success in the MDL and cooperation from the corporate defendants. MDLs do take time, therefore injured parties and their representatives look at bellwether trials as a step closer to the potential resolution.
As IVC filters continue to be marketed by manufacturers and implanted by unknowing physicians, it is expected that more patients will suffer consequent injuries. As there are more injuries, more research will be conducted regarding filter movement and fracture. As more research is conducted, one can only hope more knowledge about IVC filter failures spreads, so that eventually IVC filters are no longer implanted so frequently.

Q: Short story about aliens colonizing earth and introducing a drug From what I recall aliens come to earth and gets the people addicted some kind of "drug" making everyone passive. Other details I remember are the Aliens live off of methane gas so everything smells like sulfur. I think the main character, a human ends up starting a fire at the end in order the blow up the methane and destroy everything. Some of these details may be off, I read this so long ago.

A: Here's a long shot. A novel rather than short story.
Nightmare Blue by Gardner Dozois and George Alec Effinger

Nightmare Blue: the most addictive drug in the universe. The alien
  race known as the Aensalords alone know from whence it comes, and are
  its sole purveyors. Already its effects are visible on Earth—in the
  stark, raving eyes of the hopelessly addicted and enslaved. Now two
  agents set out to find the source: Jaeger, the last private detective
  in the peaceful world of the future, and Corcail Sendijen, a
  lobster-like alien once a servant of the Aensalords themselves. But
  Earth alone is not all that is  at stake—for it seems humans are
  merely test subjects, and the Aensalords have plans that could
  endanger the entire galaxy.
