The 2003 anime Last Exile is a textbook definition of the phrase "eye candy". Although there isn't really anything offensive about the story and characters, they are not very memorable either. The visuals elements, on the other hand, set the series far apart from the rest. Last Exile features fantastic mechanical and character designs conceived by famed illustrator Range Murata. Not only are the steampunk airships breathtaking to behold, but the character designs are every bit as pleasing as their mechanical counterparts. The outfits the characters wear are highly stylized, yet they do not look over-the-top ridiculous. Rather, they feel more like augmented and improved versions of reality. Hell, if navy uniforms looked that good in real life, I probably would have enlisted a long time ago.
If I recall correctly, I decided to pick up this figure of Alvis E. Hamilton by Alter before I even finished the series. Back then I was still fresh with enthusiasm for figures and was eager to increase the headcount of my collection, and a cheap figure of around 26 bucks proved to be appealing enough to warrant an impulse buy. Thankfully, Alvis was not the kind of purchase that I would come to regret later. I wanted something to remember Last Exile by, and this figure serves that purpose very well without breaking the bank. If you can find it around the original retail price of 3619 yen, you will find Alvis to be a decent little figure for her price. If not, don't fret – this figure is much like the non-visual elements of the source anime – decent, but nothing spectacular.
Alvis is small – very small. So small that Alter thought it would be prudent to include a really elevated display base. She measures 20 cm (8 inches) tall with the base and 15 cm (6 inches) without. Despite the obvious fact that she's a very young character, her diminutive stature still surprised me when she arrived in the mail.
Thankfully, Alvis is in an upright standing pose that mitigates the problem of her tiny size somewhat. Her military salute and childish mannerisms such as her pigeon-toed feet and tilted neck contrast each other in an adorable way.
Believe it or not, Alvis has a full head of hair, but in this rendition of the character her hair is tucked away in those mysterious hair buns. She sports the dark sailor shirt of the crew of the Silvana over her bubble shorts, as well as a pair of very spiffy black boot with orange soles. I am fairly certain that most of reason why I bought this figure was the dark sailor shirt. It probably wouldn't work very well in real life due to the colour's tendency to trap heat, but that doesn't prevent it from looking any less awesome.
A lot of effort went into adding depth to Alvis' tightly bound hair. Alter took the pains to add brown lines to achieve this effect. Some of these lines look a little clumsy and messy in the front if you look up close, but the overall effect is a positive one. The hair parting that runs along the middle of her head is emphasized with what seems like thin printed lines that runs along the edges. The actual sculpt of the hair is below average by today's standards as it lacks the sharpness and cleanness that is usually associated with Alter's standards.
The Face captures Murata's character design well, especially in her large, around eyes. She wears a confident-looking smile as well as subtle blushes on her cheeks. While not extremely expressive, the face of this figure is still pleasant to behold.
The sailor uniform I was so crazy about is treated with justice by Alter. The small metal buttons on her shirt are cleanly painted as well as the emblem. Both the collar and the body of the shirt are painted with multiple tones, once again giving off the sense of depth.
Unfortunately, notable injection marks appear on both sides of the body, most noticeably on her right side. Accompanying them are mould lines that run vertically. These marks bother me more so than usual because they undermine the smooth look achieved by the excellent paint application on the shirt, and I think that is a real shame. On the other hand, this figure was released in 2005, therefore some leeway should be given for its age.
I'm no anatomy student, but Alvis' legs seem to be sculpted with anatomical correctness. Slightly darker tones are applied to the right places, which prevents the legs from looking dull and flat. However, the Legs appear to be significantly lighter in colour when compared to the face. They are also a lot glossier, which I don't really like (unless the character is supposed to look sweaty).
Like the shirt, Alvis' boots are also multi-toned in colour. The unique orange-coloured fastener is painted nicely, but the soles of the boots falter slightly upon closer inspection. The orange paint fails to cover the black base colour completely at some parts, but this is a minor issue given its location and size.
The problem of mould lines and injection marks resurfaces on both her legs and her boots, though they are a lot less distracting than the prominent mark on her shirt as a whole. The glossy finish does make the lines on her legs more visible, though.
There's nothing much to say about the display base other than the fact that it's hollow and has the words "Last Exile" printed on it. It holds the figure via three pegs (two in her right foot, one in her left). The figure stands perfectly well without the aid of the stand.
Alter's 1/8 scale Alvis E. Hamilton is… nice, for a lack of a better word. It possesses a simple charm that is amplified by one's opinion of Range Murata's design of her clothing. The mould marks are unfortunate, but they are nothing to weep over. Despite being almost five years old at the time of this review, one is still able to procure one of these figures at reasonable prices online. If you are a fan of Range Murata's designs, I'd say "go for it." Otherwise, it's hard to find any really compelling reasons to recommend this figure over the rest of the pack.

The Wights' Powers In 'Game Of Thrones' Prove The Living Have Their Work Cut Out For Them
By Jack O'Keeffe
As the army of the dead march on Winterfell, the forces that have aligned with Daenerys and Jon Snow to fight under their orders probably all have the same question on their mind — what exactly are they up against? The citizens and soldiers at Winterfell have surely heard about the coming threat of the undead, but only a few people behind Winterfell's walls have actually seen the supernatural threat. While the wight's powers in Game of Thrones don't amount to much, the sheer volume of them — not to mention the fact that every dead person can be turned into a wight — could spell problems for the citizens of Westeros.
Anyone familiar with what are generally accepted amongst various adaptations to be the "rules" of zombies already has a pretty complete idea of how the wights function in Game of Thrones. They're raised from the dead, and have a will of their own — usually to kill — but also act under the orders of the Night King and his White Walkers. While the Night King's powers should be enough to strike fear into the heart of any many, the wights powers seem to simply be that death tends to elude them.
Wights, and even their disembodied limbs, can continue to fight until they are set on fire, or the White Walker that raised them from the dead is killed. Wights themselves are highly flammable, making dealing with one of them simple if flames are easily accessible. However, if someone were to find themselves without a flaming sword or a torch and surrounded by wights, one's chances of survival suddenly becomes a lot less likely.
Other than how hard it is to kill them, the wights really don't have any advantage over humans when it comes to sheer physical strength. However, it can be argued that they're true superpower is a willingness to die and a lack of care for the lives of their fellow soldiers. While Jon Snow has proven himself to be an accomplished fighter, his emotional connection to the people he's fighting for has led to some bone-headed decisions that have gotten other people killed. An emotionless army that seems to have an unlimited number of men can actually risk having people make those bone-headed decision without losing something more than a physical body that can throw a sword around and pierce the flesh of the living with their teeth.
The wights pale in comparison to the White Walkers when it comes to powers and ability, but there's no discounting the sheer scope of the wight army. Even the Dothraki and the Unsullied combined may not be able to stop an army that never gets tired, cannot be killed by physical violence, and is constantly gaining new soldiers as the White Walkers resurrect the dead. The wights may not have many powers beyond being able to fight after getting one's arm cut off, but that doesn't make them any less of a threat to the citizens of Westeros.

Cheap, Generic 'Biologics' on the Way?
Congress Considers Allowing Companies to Make Low-Cost Copies of Drugs Like Insulin
By Todd Zwillich
From the WebMD Archives
March 8, 2007 -- High-cost drugs like insulin and new-generation rheumatoid arthritis medications could soon become a lot cheaper. That is, if Congress can succeed in finding a way to approve them as generics.
The issue could affect a wide range of high-priced drugs and vaccines that are called "biologics" because they're produced by living cells under controlled conditions.
Insulin, a widely-prescribed biologic used by millions of people with diabetes, can cost patients $1,500 per year. Some newer biologics used to treat cancer can cost close to $50,000 per year. Rituxan, a biologic that targets immune cells and treats rheumatoid arthritis and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, can cost more than $10,000 per treatment course.
But the FDA has no standard for proving lower-cost generic versions of biologics equivalent to the parent drugs. That has kept them off the U.S. market.
Consumer groups and businesses are now calling for a standard that would let generic companies gain government approval of copies once a brand-name biologic's patent expires. Such a standard, they say, could save billions in health costs.
"This is our single fastest growing category of health costs, and the trend is simply not sustainable," Sid Banwart, a Caterpillar Inc. vice president, told a Senate hearing Thursday.
He said the company has spent $150 million on prescription benefits last year and that spending on biologics went up 45% since 2001.
Complex Copying
Generic drugs can cost half of their identical brand-name "parents," and insurers, employers, and patients credit them with savings billions in health costs each year. The copies are made by mimicking chemical active ingredients in a laboratory.
But biologics contain active molecules far larger and more complex than those in existing generics. Those molecules can't be precisely copied synthetically, and brand-name drugmakers closely guard information about the delicate and complicated biological reactions needed to produce them biologically.
Brand-name drugmakers maintain that the uncertainty makes generic biologics inherently unreliable and potentially unsafe. They want Congress to bar biologic generics from FDA rules that let drug companies make them without putting them through expensive human clinical studies.
"[Generic] biologics can be shown to be similar, but never identical, to an innovator," said Jay P. Siegel, MD, president of biotechnology, immunology, and oncology research and development at Johnson & Johnson, one of the world's largest manufacturers of biologics.
"You can't just take a molecule that has never been in people ... then all of the sudden market it to thousands of people. It's too risky," he said.
Generic Companies: We Can Do It
Generic manufacturers, meanwhile, say technology now allows them to backtrack from a biologic's ingredients and closely approximate its molecular structure. They accuse brand-name companies of stonewalling for fear of losing billions in revenues.
"The science is here and has been for over a decade," said Ajaz S. Hussain, vice president for biopharmaceutical development at Sandoz, a generic company owned by Novartis.
Complex as a 'Skyscraper'
A bill introduced last month would give the FDA the power for fast-track approval of generic biologics on a case-by-case basis, as long as companies can show they are essentially equivalent to the brand-name parent.
"The science supports an abbreviated pathway for [generic] biologics," said Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y., one of several sponsors of the bill. "We are finally at a place where we are debating how, not if."
Meanwhile, several key Republicans said the bill does not do enough to ensure the safety and effectiveness of highly complex biologic drugs.
Wyoming Sen. Mike Enzi, the senior Republican on the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee, said if traditional drugs are as complex as a house, biologics were more akin to "a skyscraper."
"One girder out of place could cause the entire structure to fall," he said.

27% unlikely to be vaccinated against the coronavirus; Republicans, conservatives especially: POLL
by Thehub Press
Unpersuaded by more than 100,000 pandemic deaths in the United States, 45% of strong conservatives, four in 10 Republicans and nearly as many evangelical Christians say they'd be unlikely to get vaccinated against the coronavirus, even for free.
Overall, 27% of adults in an ABC News/Washington Post poll say they definitely (15%) or probably (12%) would not get the vaccine. Among them, half say they don't trust vaccines in general, while nearly a quarter don't think it's needed in this case.
See PDF for full results, charts and tables.
A plurality definitely would get vaccinated (43%) and 28% say they probably would. The net, 71%, is much higher than the adult vaccination rate for the standard seasonal flu – 45% in the 2018-19 flu season, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (with a wide range by state, from 34 to 56%.) It's much lower than the 2017 child vaccination rates for polio and measles/mumps/rubella, 93 and 92%, respectively.
A mix of groups express less interest in getting vaccinated – 46% of Republican women, 45% (as noted) very conservative Americans, 40% of Republicans and 37% of evangelical Christians.
Across the spectrum, 90% of Democratic men say they definitely or probably would get the vaccine, as would 81% of Democrats overall, and as many liberals in this poll, produced for ABC by Langer Research Associates.
Interest is higher, although not overwhelmingly high, among seniors – 77% – compared with all other adults, 69%.
The overall result is similar to other recent surveys (by Fox News, ABC/Ipsos, Pew Research and CNN) in which 23 to 33% of adults have said they would not get vaccinated or would not be likely to. By contrast, in a November 2009 ABC/Post survey, many more said they likely would not get vaccinated against the swine flu, 66%.
Experience/Expectations
Experience and expectations play a role in these intentions. For example, Americans living in hard-hit areas are especially likely to say they'd get the vaccine. Eighty-one percent of people in U.S. counties with the most COVID-19 cases say so, compared with 61% of those in counties with the fewest cases.
It's nearly as high, 78%, among Northeasterners and urban residents, vs. 65% in the South and 63% in rural areas. And among those who report that their lives have been disrupted by the pandemic, three-quarters say they'd get vaccinated. That drops to 55% of those who report little or no disruption.
Willingness also peaks among those most concerned about how the virus may affect them. Among those who are very worried that they or a family member will catch the virus, 85% say they definitely or probably would get vaccinated, as do 84% of those worried about a second wave of infections in the fall. That plummets among others; among those who are "not at all worried" about a second wave, for instance, just 35% say they'd get vaccinated.
Interest also relates to priorities. Among those who say it's more important to try to stop the spread of the virus, 81% say they're likely to get vaccinated, compared with 56% of those who say it's more important to try to restart the economy.
In a statistical analysis called regression, holding demographic and attitudinal factors constant, being black and being a woman are negative predictors of intention to get vaccinated. Positive predictors include being a Democrat, worry about catching the disease or about a second wave, and living in an urban area.
As mentioned, half of those who definitely or probably wouldn't get vaccinated say they don't trust vaccines in general; 23% don't think it's necessary in this case. Five percent say both reasons are equally important and two in 10 cite other reasons.
Women who are disinclined to be vaccinated are more likely to say it's because they don't trust vaccines in general – 58% say so, compared with 42% of men who say they're unlikely to get vaccinated. These men, instead, are twice as likely as women in this group to say they think it's unnecessary in this particular case.
While sample sizes limit this analysis, one other difference emerges: People living in the South who are unlikely to get vaccinated are slightly more apt than those in other regions to say they don't trust vaccines overall, 57 vs. 45%.
This ABC News/Washington Post poll was conducted by landline and cellular telephone May 25-28, 2020, in English and Spanish, among a random national sample of 1,001 adults. Results have a margin of sampling error of 3.5 points, including the design effect. Partisan divisions are 31-24-37%, Democrats-Republicans-independents.
The survey was produced for ABC News by Langer Research Associates of New York, N.Y., with sampling and data collection by Abt Associates of Rockville, Md. See details on the survey's methodology here.

One of the most aggressive summer weeds in Georgia is crabgrass. It will put even the best pre-emergent weed control products to the test. Once it arrives, it quickly eats up half of your yard. That's especially frustrating for homeowners who thought they were properly treating their lawns to prevent it from sprouting.
The problem is that many of the best pre-emergent weed control products are mislabeled for the weeds you're trying to fight. While many sprout at 52 degrees, crabgrass germinates at 50. Therefore, the time to apply your pre-emergent treatment may be weeks earlier than you realize. Those in the Cummings area should be safe applying treatments in early March. However, many in the southern part of the state would have missed the ball by then.
Chickweed, bluegrass and other common winter weeds germinate in early fall. You should apply your pre-emergent formulas in early to mid-September. You want to do this before you aerate your lawn or apply the last fertilizer of the season. You'll also want to keep your pre-emergent formula separate from any lime you might be adding to your yard's soil.
As much as you may love your lawn, chances are you don't want to go through the rigor of applying treatments every weekend or even once a month. If you did, sourcing the best products would be next to impossible without professional credentials. As part of the consumer market, you're forced to settle for products that are safe to use, moderately effective, and generally easy to apply with traditional yard working tools. The same isn't said for professionals.
Pros have a wider range of products available—as well as the tools and training to put them to best use. You may even find your lawn care provider has a different schedule for pre-emergent maintenance. Some clients become concerned that they don't need as many treatments as they're receiving, and they worry unduly over health or budget concerns. They forget that the treatments available to consumers are quite different from what is used by industry pros.
For instance, you may only do two applications a year using a slow-release formula, which also fertilizes your lawn. A professional may begin treatments in winter, applying pre-emergents for crabgrass twice before the temperature rises high enough for seeds to germinate. The next treatment may be aimed at controlling broadleaf weeds or crawlers that stay dormant until temperatures rise. In fall two pre-emergent treatments are typically needed for winter grass weeds and other common invasive growers.
These types of treatments allow for fighting weeds as they really develop and grow, without the need for convenience built into so many consumer products.
Now that we're into early spring, it's tree and shrub trimming time. Just don't forget about the best pre-emergent weed control methods. If you'd rather leave this task to the pros, just Think Green! Call us at (678) 648-2556 today.

Korea Food Trading workers vote to unionize
Toronto-based company imports and distributes Oriental food products
David Sherman | July 05, 2016
Twenty-five workers at Korea Food Trading, a Toronto-based food importing and distributing company, have joined the United Food and Commercial Workers union.
No date has been set to sit down with the company, but union organizing co-ordinator Jonathan Lo told Canadian Grocer the union expect to hear from the firm soon. The union was certified at the end of June.
"We want to start negotiations as soon as possible," Wayne Hanley, president of UFCW Local 1006A, said.
The workers are in purchasing, sales and warehousing and, said Lo, they reached out to the union. At issue are working conditions and salaries.
Lo said the increasing number of ethnic grocers and distributors and growing numbers of immigrant workers are not being specifically targeted by the union.
Korea Food Trading imports and distributes ethnic fare to Loblaw, Sobeys, and other retailers. It also owns two Galleria Supermarkets in the Toronto area.
Lo said workers at the Galleria stores are not part of the bargaining unit. "Workers in those stores are probably waiting to see what kind of agreement (warehouse workers will) get," Lo said.

Parafia została erygowana w 1980 roku.

Historia
Pierwszym kościołem parafii do roku 2000 był  przyklasztorny kościół pod wezwaniem Św. Dominika który powstał z przebudowanej  w latach 1938-1939 kaplicy dworskiej. Właściciele Białej Niżnej hrabiostwo Konstancjia i Eustachy Stadnicki przekazali swój majątek wraz z kaplicą dworską  Zgromadzeniu Sióstr świętego Dominika w roku 1895. Nowy  kościół parafialny został wzniesiony  latach 1992-2000 i poświęcony 1 października 2000 roku przez biskupa Władysława Bobowskiego. Kościół wybudowano według projektu Stefana Szewczyka. Kamień węgielny poświęcił Ojciec św. Jan Paweł II w Zakopanem 7 czerwca 1997 roku podczas VI pielgrzymki do Polski. Duszpasterzami kościoła i parafii są księża Pallotyni. Mieści się pod numerem 394.

Alumni Update: Jad Baghdadi
School of Fashion March 31, 2015
Jad Baghdadi, 2010 BFA Fashion Design, alumnus. Image: courtesy of Jad Baghdadi
"I've been lucky with my career since graduation," said 2010 BFA Fashion Design alumnus, Jad Baghdadi. "I worked at BCBG in evening gowns and atelier, Herve Leger and now I'm part of the Monique Lhuillier design team." While currently based in Los Angeles, Baghdadi's love for fashion came years before he started working at BCBG or Lhuillier. It started with an affinity for illustration. "I've been drawing from a very young age. It is my therapy in a way. I do it for both work and fun," said Baghdadi of his graceful, couture like sketches.

So what's a day like in the Lhuillier office? "Usually it starts out with emails and a meeting to recap the weekly agenda. Then a fitting for ready-to-wear or bridal. I work on new concepts for upcoming collections, research, design, work with the cutting room, print development, and deal with the daily challenges with the collection or production samples," he said. It's no cake walk, but Baghdadi says what he loves most about his job is the amount of creative freedom he gets and getting to work so closely with the pattern makers and design team.
He's come a long way from his days at the Academy, where he admitted his biggest challenge was "learning how to sew on an industrial machine." However, he shared brighter memories too like, "taking draping and corset classes with Rob Curry, and working on my senior collection," he said. When asked what advice he would give to current or prospective students he said,"Dream big, start small, and everything else will fall into place." It certainly did for him.

Army's Minato, Magarity earn more awards
Ken McMillan Times Herald-Record @KenMcMillanTHR
Apr 11, 2016 at 8:44 PM Apr 12, 2016 at 1:04 AM
WEST POINT – Dave Magarity was watching Army's season highlights video and had just one thing to say.
"Holy mackerel.''
Magarity lived it first-hand, but as a numbers guy, he remains astounded by what Army was able to accomplish this season. Twenty-nine wins with just three losses, 17-0 at home. Three Patriot League tournament wins by an average of 25 points. A second NCAA tournament berth in three seasons and fourth straight national postseason trip. Leading the league in 12 statistical categories.
"I mean, it's incredible,'' he said.
So it's no wonder Magarity was named Metropolitan Writers Basketball Association Division I coach of the year – named after his late predecessor, Maggie Dixon – and honorable mention Associated Press All-America Kelsey Minato earned player of the year. Marist's Tori Jarosz was a first-team choice and Sydney Coffey made the third team.
Magarity never won the men's coaching award in 19 seasons at Marist. "That's what makes this a special award for me,'' said Magarity, who won the women's award in 2007. "I am very humbled by it. I know we had a good year but it's really an honor.''
Magarity has 511 wins over 33 seasons, including 198 in 10 seasons with the Army women. Army had an experienced lineup, highlighted by Minato, and blended freshmen and sophomores into a squad that won 19 straight games.
"My biggest fear, and I always felt this way, is you don't want to over-coach,'' Magarity said. "When you have kids who can play and play together, let them play. It's like, 'Keep it simple, stupid.' This was a team to do that with, even though you had to give younger kids some direction. The leadership piece was there with the seniors and the ability to accept and handle that kind of freedom, go out and play and not be too restrictive.''
Minato was a first-team All-Met pick the past three seasons and second-team as a freshman, when she won the first of three Patriot League MVP awards. She established the Academy and Patriot League career scoring record of 2,556 points, ranking fourth all-time among Metropolitan schools. She ranked seventh in the nation at 23.2 points per game, also Academy and league marks. She owns West Point career marks for 3-pointers (329), free throws (569) and field goals (829).
"We all know she has earned it, she deserved it and she has the numbers to back it up,'' Magarity said. "To actually do it as a Metropolitan player of the year is pretty incredible.''
Minato and Jarosz attended showcase camps in Indianapolis last week and hope to be chosen in the WNBA Draft on Thursday.

People who want to buy vehicles from dealerships need to search for those who are fully dedicated to serve their clients and community at large by providing both new and used vehicle. Customer service is another consideration. Companies that work with a dedicated team of financial advisors, sales representatives, and technicians that aim at meet all of their clients' need is the best one to look. In this article, we will take you through the steps to follow in choosing the right dealerships.
One of the critical concerns in the search process is to pay attention to the types of cars the dealers specialize in selling. Most car dealerships have websites where they post information about the services they offer as well as the type of vehicles they sell. One of the reasons why you need to choose the best car dealership is that they offer a wide selection of vehicles to account for the different needs of their clients. A sedan is ideal for drivers looking for vehicles they will be driving every day and which have enough room for family and friends.
Suppose you want to buy a Ram truck from a dealer, you need to consider your budget. The price of ram trucks tend to shock people who want to buy them for the first time. The trucks cost more since they come with a variety of high-end comfort and convenience features. Since the price of ram trucks can be high, it is a good idea for people looking for trucks to decide on the budget they can afford before choosing the dealerships to work with.
The certifications of the vehicles is also an important consideration when looking for vehicles from dealerships. Before buying a vehicle from dealerships, it is important to ask if the model you want to purchase has undergone through certification inspections to know of its mechanical quality, interior condition, and reliability.
Getting the type and model of vehicle you want from a dealership is not enough, instead you need to ensure that the parts and maintenance services are easy to find. Consider choosing dealers who have hired skilled personals to offer the best automobile care needed for every model and type of vehicles. The best way of getting quality vehicle is by getting experts to assist you in inspecting the quality; do not be quick in believing the quality as said by the dealers.
It is also vital to research on the credentials of the car dealership company you want to choose. It is vital to research on the dealership's credentials before choosing the ones to work with as this will provide you with vital information about their experience.
Therefore, by following this guide, you can be assured of getting the best car dealership that will meet your needs.

Taking downtown out of the dark
New exterior lighting grant aims to increase safety
Illustration by Justin Ladia
Alex Neufeldt
A new grant program from the City of Winnipeg is aimed at making downtown building owners reconsider lighting as a design element.
Marc Vachon, an associate professor of geography at the University of Winnipeg, says a building's lighting is often the last thing thought about during its design process. Exterior lighting can be very expensive, so depending on whether a municipality deems public exterior light to be a private or public responsibility, lighting in public spaces can be very inconsistent.
"Winnipeg has a lot of dark alleys, and people are drawn to places that are well-lit. We feel more comfortable there," Vachon says.
The new lighting grant, operated by the City Planning and Design Office, will provide successful applicants with $5,000 for professional design consulting fees and match up to $10,000 in installation costs for exterior lighting.
Kurtis Kowalke, the principle planner for the City of Winnipeg, says all types of buildings are eligible for the program, as well as parking lots.
It applies to "anywhere there's an opportunity to take a property that's underlit or doesn't have exterior lighting and introduce that component to make a safer, more inviting area of the downtown," he says.
"Our hope is that we really get a wide selection of applicants," Kowalke says. "Hopefully, by the end of this program we've got many areas of our downtown that are better lit, that feel safer and feel more welcoming and more inviting."
The program is part of the City's multi-year and multi-pronged Downtown Public Safety Strategy that includes investment in closed-circuit television, safewalk programs and decommissioning the transit shelter outside of Portage Place and replacing it with a shelter "deemed safer for this high-traffic location."
Vachon says, in principle, he thinks the lighting component of the plan is "a great idea" and could increase a sense of safety in the downtown area without necessarily contributing to defensive architecture.
Defensive architecture (also known as hostile architecture) includes things like bars in the middle of benches or installing spikes outside of storefronts – architecture that discourages a particular group of people, often those who are impoverished, from using a space.
He says businesses can use lighting in defensive ways, such as by using red exterior light to make people avoid sitting in front of a storefront at night or using blue light to make it difficult for heroin users to find their veins, which Vachon says does not necessarily decrease drug activity on the premises but instead often results in more complicated, imprecise and dangerous injections.
Vachon says whether or not the city will be largely granting proposals that use this defensive lighting, lights that are simply used for commercial purposes or lighting that genuinely makes for a safer downtown remains to be seen.

Q: How to ignore null values in mongodb insert query I am trying to insert some data into mongodb database from a simple registration form. It includes first name, middle name and last name in which middle name is optional. Now I want insert middle name into database only if user provides it in the form.
fname = request.values.get('fname')
mname = request.values.get('mname')
lname = request.values.get('lname')
db.users.insert({'fname':fname, 'mname':mname, 'lname':lname})

I am getting this output:
id:5d11c378f829d8938bf65e0b
fname:"test"
mname:""
lname:"user"

I want this( if mname is not provided in the form):
id:5d11c378f829d8938bf65e0b
fname:"test"
lname:"user"

    <form action="/register" method="post">
      First name:

      <input type="text" name="fname" required>

       Middle name:

      <input type="text" name="mname">

      Last name:

      <input type="text" name="lname" required>

      <input type="submit" value="Submit">
    </form>

return "Registered successfully!"

A: How about check the empty value before insert?
var m = request.values.get('mname');
mname = (m) ? m : null;

Or you can try insert object.
user.fname = request.values.get('fname')
var m = request.values.get('mname')
user.lname = request.values.get('lname')
if (m){
  user.mname = m
}
db.users.insert(user)

This week was the final straw for Randy Moss, in terms of me starting him for one of my teams. I gave him the benefit of the doubt, with the team playing one of the worst pass defenses in the NFL…and how does he reward me? Another goose egg. He's on the bench until he shows something/anything.
Nearly my entire starting lineup. Frank Gore, Jahvid Best, Randy Moss, Zach Miller. Gore was consensus #1 this week by everyone's start lists. 12 rushes for 23 yards. Suffice to say I lost badly this week.
But yeah, he (and the rest of the 49ers) seriously disappointed. Randy Moss was a complete disaster though.
Bench?? I cut him, which is what the Titans will do in another few weeks…..
My team did great, my week 11 fail that cost me a win was playing Mike Thomas instead of Steve Johnson. I have to find a way to forgive myself today. It was a dumb last minute move.
36 yards and a score from Mike Thomas aren't too bad…unless you compare them to Steve Johnson 🙂 There was no way to predict that sort of outburst from Johnson though. 50% of the time you'll get that decision right.
Let's see – I have a RB (McFadden), a TE (V. Davis) and THREE WR's (Andre, Boldin, & Manningham) on this list. These guys wasted great efforts by Hillis and Big Ben. I lost by a very large margin!!!
The Minnesota Vikings waived Wide Receiver Randy Moss just four games after they traded a 3rd Round Draft pick to the Patriots in order to land the veteran pass-catcher. Very shocking to learn about Moss release. Percy Harvin was injured during the Week 8 loss which means Moss would have been the teams only proven talent at WR. Fantasy Spin: Very Instead Moss will hit the NFLs Waiver Wire, but that doesnt mean he should be dropped from your Fantasy Roster just yet.

Q: Jquery hover effect I want to make a hover effect on a image. That works fine! But i also have a text on top of the image that's in a div. When i hover it the image in the background goes back..
Simply put, i want a hover effect on the image only when i mouseover both the text or image..
You can see how it works here: http://notre.co/nav
$(document).ready(function() {
    $('img').each(function() {
       $(this).hover(function() {
           $(this).stop().animate({ opacity: 0.3 }, 200);
       },
       function() {
           $(this).stop().animate({ opacity: 1.0 }, 800);
       });
    });
});

A: Seeing that you have this structure:

...

You should attach the hover events to the parent .image div instead:
$('.image').hover(function () {
    $(this).find('img').stop().animate({ opacity: 0.3 }, 200);
}, function () {
    $(this).find('img').stop().animate({ opacity: 1.0 }, 200);
});

Note that I didn't include the .each() as by default jQuery will iterate through each element when attaching event handlers (in fact, for most operations).

As mentioned by mVChr in the comments, the '.image' selector should be changed to 'ul.sc_menu li' if you want the effect to work when hovering over the "author" text as well.

Practice Python questions and answers for interviews, campus placements, online tests, aptitude tests, quizzes and competitive exams.
This set of Python Multiple Choice Questions & Answers (MCQs) focuses on "Shallow copy vs Deep copy".
1. Which type of copy is shown in this code?
Explanation: The code shown above depicts shallow copy. For deep copy, the command given is: l2 = l1.copy().
2. What is the output of the code shown below?
Explanation: The code shown above depicts deep copy. In deep copy, the base address of the objects is not copied. Hence the modification done on one list does not affect the other list.
3. In _______________ copy, the base address of the objects are copied.
In _______________ copy, the base address of the objects are not copied.
Explanation: In shallow copy, the base address of the objects are copied.
In deep copy, the base address of the objects are not copied.
Note that memberwise copy is another name for shallow copy.
4. The nested list undergoes shallow copy even when the list as a whole undergoes deep copy. State whether this statement is true or false.
Explanation: A nested list undergoes shallow copy even when the list as a whole undergoes deep copy. Hence, this statement is true.
Explanation: The code shown above depicts shallow copy and the output of the code is: [1, 2, 3].
6. What is the output of the codes shown below?
Explanation: The first code shown above represents shallow copy. Hence the output of the expression id(l1)==id(l2) is True. The second code depicts deep copy. Hence the output of the expression id(l1)==id(l2) in the second case is False.
7. What is the output of the code shown below?
Explanation: The code shown above shows a nested list. A nested list will undergo shallow copy when the list as a whole undergoes deep copy. Hence the output of this code is False.
8. What is the output of the code shown below?
Explanation: The code shown above depicts deep copy. Hence at the end of the code, l1=[10, 20, 30, ] and l2=[10, 20, 30, ].
In ____________________ copy, the modification done on one list affects the other list.
In ____________________ copy, the modification done on one list does not affect the other list.
Explanation: In shallow copy, the modification done on one list affects the other list.
In deep copy, the modification done on one list does not affect the other list.
10. What is the output of the code shown below?
Explanation: In the code shown above, the list l1 is enclosed in a tuple. When we print this list, it is printed as [1, 2, 3, 4]. Note the absence of the tuple. The code shown depicts deep copy. Hence the output of this program is: l1=[1, 2, 3, 4] and l2=[1, 2, 3, 4].
11. What is the output of the piece of code given below?
Explanation: The above piece of code checks recursively whether a number is even or odd.
12. What is the base case in the Merge Sort algorithm when it is solved recursively?
Explanation: Merge Sort algorithm implements the recursive algorithm and when the recursive function receives a list of length 1 which is the base case, the list is returned.
13. What is the output of the following piece of code?
a)	1 2 3 4 5.
d)	Error, lambda functions can't be called recursively.
Explanation: The above piece of code appends the first element of the list to a reversed sublist and reverses the list using recursion.

A Fresh Stab At Code Red's Just Before Dawn
One of Code Red's earlier forays into blu-ray, from their second batch after Redeemer and Voices From Beyond), we have the eerie man vs. nature vs. slasher film Just Before Dawn. The film not only makes its HD debut here, but also includes a second, extended cut that runs about ten minutes longer. We're still on the single-layer disc stage at this point in Code Red's blu-ray legacy, unfortunately, but now we've proper menus with selectable options. It's tempting to say you can throw away any previous editions once you've got this one in your mitts, but unfortunately it's missing all the great extras from Shriek Show's previous 2-disc special edition.
Update 3/9/15 - 5/16/19: Four years later, and Code Red has come out with a new special edition of Just Before Dawn. We've moved on from the single- to the dual-layer disc stage, which is nice since there are two versions of the movie on these discs, with promised clean-up on the extended cut, plus all new special features. Sounds good; let's see.
This is another in a short line of compelling Deliverance-inspired slasher movies, a la The Final Terror, Rituals or more recently the Wrong Turn films, where they essentially say, "what if we made the first half of Deliverance the whole movie?" Maybe that sounds hacky, but it's a damned effective idea and has resulted in some quite compelling horror films, including this one. A large part of what works about this film as well as the others I've named is that beautiful, exotic locations become an integral and dangerous part of the story. Being way out in the forests somewhere, they've got amazing, natural production values.
So an idyllic location and a haunting theme by Brad Fiedel (Terminator), effectively raise up what is otherwise a fairly generic slasher film to greater heights. A group of typical horror movie kids go off to camp and explore a very remote area of land one of them has inherited. George Kennedy stars as the film's bankable name and also a ranger who tries to warn them off, and must later try to find them while there's any left to rescue. Most of his scenes are by himself and the plot could probably be told just as well without his character, but he does help to keep the plates spinning. What he knows and the campers slowly discover, is that the woods is also inhabited by a family that's gone a little weird in their isolation; and one of them seems to have grown homicidal.
So like I said, the film's got the location and the music as definite pros. In the cons, you've got some slightly hokey acting, although everybody's fine for the most part, and the difficulty of trying to represent a group of people who live outside of society without them coming off as just silly. Most movies fail, and while this film makes a pretty earnest attempt, I'm not sure they succeed either. However, they make the wise choice of giving them as little screen time as possible, instead spending it with the much more relatable and plausible campers.
The last thing to really tip the scale in the right direction is some really effective scare scenes. Clever moments with lighting and camera angles really make scenes work much better than similar scenes in other slashers. I won't spoil the ending, but it's a real crowd pleaser for horror fans, no question. So overall, while I don't see this pulling in mainstream audiences even if you did convince them to give Just Before Dawn a shot, anyone who has a predilection for 80s slasher films will definitely enjoy this a lot.
And which version of the film is the one to watch? Well, there have been multiple cuts of this film, actually, and it's been pretty confusing for fans to keep track of. You basically had two VHS versions, one which was cut and one which was generally considered to be uncut that ran 91 minutes. Then you had the Shriek Show DVD, which was almost uncut at 90 minutes, but had a few brief trims, and a German disc, which restored the biggest trim to the Shriek Show disc (but not the others). And finally a UK DVD which was more heavy cut but also featured a bunch of footage not seen in any previous version, even the original "uncut" VHS, running about 100 minutes. Well, Code Red has thankfully cut through all of that excess and made our decision much easier by giving us the two best cuts, including one never before released.
I think it's safe to say nobody watching a serious horror movie wants to watch it with any of the violence censored, so Code Red gives both "uncut" versions. We have the version everybody used to consider uncut from that old VHS, and we have a super extended version with everything in it, all the trimmed gore and all the extra scenes from that UK release, that runs 103 minutes. And for my money, that latter version really is the definitive version to watch. While the extra footage doesn't include anymore scary or shocking moments, it does contain bits that really should just never have been cut in the first place. The main arc of the film is Deborah Benson's slow transformation throughout this film, and the extended dialogue really fleshes that out. Perhaps even more importantly, or at least less subtly: the cuts, which were clearly designed to just speed up the pace, make the film awkward and less sensible.
For example, there's one scene where the campers follow the sound of singing to find a girl in the distance and call out to her, "hello down there!" And one of the guy shouts. "I say: do you live around here!" Now, when I originally saw the film, the non-extended version, I always chalked it up to a little moment of bad acting, just a weird unnatural way to say the line. But now having seen the 103 minute version, there's a couple lines between the ones I quoted. The guy asks "do you live around here?" and another camper shouts, "you sing beautifully!" The girl looks at them but doesn't respond, and NOW, with the subject having been changed and the girl not responding, it makes sense that he says the line, "I say: do you live around here" like that. So on it's own, you wouldn't look at that deleted scene and think, "gee, I'm sure sorry I missed that moment where the guy repeats himself and his friend shouts 'you sing beautifully!'" But what it does is turn a slight, jarring flaw in the film into a smooth, natural moment. And the six or seven seconds you shave off the running time definitely isn't worth that awkward hiccup in the movie, that just makes you think less of it. Maybe if you have a short attention span you'd disagree, but even in its longest incarnation, the film really doesn't drag. If anything, the whole film works as a bit of a slow burn no matter which version you're watching, and the longer cut makes that the most effective.
1) 2005 SS DVD; 2) 2015 CR BD extended; 3) 2015 CR BD edited;
4) 2019 CD BD extended; 5) 2019 CR BD edited.
Unfortunately, the longest version of the film is not the best looking, transfer-wise. Code Red's new blu-ray of the "uncut" 91 minute version was absolutely the best this film has ever looked. But they had to use a more beat up print to get the fully uncut 103 minute version. So if you want to see the film looking its best, you've got to watch the 91 minute version, though at least that cut's still an improvement over Shriek Show's 90 minute version. But the best cut looks noticeably poorer. It has the inherent advantage of being in HD, but that's about it. It's the softest, probably in part because it's clearly zoomed in and lacking information on the bottom and right side compared to the other cuts, despite all four of Code Red's transfers being exactly 1.78:1 (Shriek Show's is slightly window-boxed to closer to 1.85:1). The extended cut is also worn, with flecks and scratches on it. It's not as bad as some of Code Red's most infamous "grindhouse prints" they've released, but it's a lot worse than the other versions.
If Shriek Show's transfer were in HD, it might give Code Red's a real run for its money, certainly trampling the extended cut. But it's not, so Code Red's 91 minute cut is handily the best the film has ever looked, with the smoothest, most lifelike image. Look at the clearing in the trees over Deborah (the standing blonde)'s shoulder. In both the Shriek Show DVD and the 103 minute cut, it's a burst of bright light. But in the 91 minute cut, you can see all the leaves in branches that've been flared out of the other two. Shriek Show and Code Red also have a bit of a difference in coloring, but that's more open to personal preference. Grain is natural on both of Code Red's transfers, though, because the issue with the extended cut is the source material, not the scan. So you could say the extended cut is a fine presentation of a print that just happens to be in substantially lower quality than the internegative they used for the shorter edit.
So how is the new and improved extended cut in 2019? Well, some clean-up has definitely been done, but it's still the same rough source. Looking at the gang setting up camp here, we're still zoomed in with the colors washed and contrast blown out, and that same green chemical line is still running up through Jamie Rose. But look at the additional chemical damage around Ralph Seymour's head - it's gone. Similar flecks and spots in the upper left-hand corner of the first set of shots have also clearly been swept up. And yes, the extra dual-layer space does smarten up the compression. So hey, progress has been made; it's a step in the right direction. I don't know if it's a substantial enough restoration to really alter the viewer's experience, though. You're still watching a rough print. But given the choice between the two, yeah, hey, I'll take the new one, thanks.
Also, the shorter edit's been tweaked a bit - this time in the color department. Look up at the first set of shots again and you'll notice Mike Kellin's skin tones are a little less red, and a bit more on the orange side. The grass is a shade darker while the brights are lighter on his sleeve. And in the second set, the pinks, reds and oranges are all a bit brighter. It's not an obvious change, but it does give a little more pop and separation of the characters from their backgrounds. It's a pretty subjective call, but I think it's a smidgen better on the 2019 than the 2015.
All versions preserve the original mono track, uncompressed on the blus, though a bit noisy on the extended version. The DVD also throws in a 5.1 mix. One nice advantage of Code Red's new 2019 edition is that they've added subtitles (albeit to the shorter version only) that neither of the previous discs had.
But now let's get to what was a real shortcoming on Code Red's initial disc: the extras. The Code Red blu gives you two theatrical trailers for the film, which is at least better than nothing. But the Shriek Show set has not only those two trailers but an audio commentary by director Jeff Lieberman, and it's a pretty good one. And what's more, there's a 67 minute long documentary which interviews a whole bunch of the people involved, including Lieberman, producer David Sheldon, the writer Mark Arywitz, and stars Chris Lemmon (yes, Jack Lemmon's son), Jamie Rose and John Hunsacker who played the killer. Oh, and there's also a really interesting section where they talk to Brad Fiedel. So it's really a fantastic special edition that's worth holding onto - or going out of your way to pick up - just for the extras. There's also a photo gallery and a bunch of bonus Shriek Show trailers.
But now Code Red's come back with a special edition of its own. First of all, they carry over the documentary from the Shriek Show DVD, though it's somewhat shorter here, clocking in at just over 50 minutes, because for whatever reason (at a guess, licensing fee?), they've cut all of Lieberman's interview segments. And unfortunately, in that hasty editing process, they threw off the sync. This isn't the first time Code Red's had a syncing problem recently, which makes me wonder if anybody's bothering to watch their releases for QC before selling them. But anyway, it gets a bit out of sync pretty quick, and then slowly gets further out as the feature progresses, eventually getting to the point where we're not even hearing the same sentence the people are speaking. So if you've got your old Shriek Show DVD, don't throw it out.
You'd want to hang onto it anyway, since the audio commentary has not been carried over. But the better news is that Code Red has created a bunch of new special features, and the syncing and everything is all good with those. We get four new, on-camera interviews which roughly follow a consistent formula of talking about the film for the first half, and going over the rest of their career in the second. We already heard from David Sheldon, Chris Lemmon and Jamie Rose in the Shriek Show doc, but there's definitely some new content to be found in the fresh interviews. Sheldon and Lemmon's interviews are roughly a half hour each. Then we also get an on-camera interview with star Gregg Henry, who's never been on a Just Before Dawn disc before, so that's a real treat. There's also an amusing intro to the film, where Henry and Rose meet The Banana Man, plus a bunch of Code Red bonus trailers. This edition also comes in (one hell of an ugly) slipcover, with reversible artwork. The official JBD trailers, despite being listed on the box and having been on the previous Code Red blu, have been dropped - another little reason to keep your Shriek Show discs.
So at the end of the day, a lot has changed and very little has changed. The ideal JBD experience is still the Shriek Show DVD for the extras, and the Code Red blu for the film itself. The 91 minute cut's transfer still looks the best, while the 103 minute cut still has the best version of the content. And by including both cuts, Code Red still gives fans both options. What's changed is that we've added some fun new extras to the pot and some slightly improved transfers with this 2019 edition. Code Red 2019 is definitely now the best edition even with its botched presentation of the Shriek Show doc. Whether it's enough of a step forward to warrant paying for a double-dip is up to you, but the new blu pretty well renders the old one obsolete, even if it doesn't manage to take the old DVD down with it.
Labels: 1980, Blu, Code Red, DVD, horror, Shriek Show, slasher
88 films blu is probably the best release now due to the special features.
John W McKelvey January 3, 2018 at 5:33 AM
Yup, agreed. Although I'd still recommend getting the Shriek Show DVD, which has much more compelling special features, and combine it with the blu for the ultimate special edition.
Just Before Dawn was filmed in Oregon in 1980, right around the time Mount Saint Helen's was erupting in Washington state. The Oregon scenery is gorgeous.
This movie has effective music. The male characters in the movie act like cowardly children while the female character is the only one with courage to fight the killer. It's obviously influenced by Deliverance, as are many other wilderness movies, and to an extent, also influenced by Lord of the Flies. The wilderness is beautiful, but it's scary and dangerous, with its mosquitoes, ticks, spiders, scorpions, snakes, centipedes, intense cold, intense heat, lightning, bears, big cats, unclean, polluted water, and lakes and rivers which can drown a person. Movies such as Just Before Dawn focuses more on the danger from humans in the wilderness. It's saying that humans are the most dangerous and scariest things to encounter in the wilderness. It's a well made movie.

U.S. House passes bill to exempt small ISPs from net neutrality rules
Mar 17, 2016 12:34pm
Regional ISPs won a coup this week as the U.S. House of Representatives voted to pass the Small Business Broadband Deployment Act, expanding the FCC's exemption of smaller ISPs from some of the transparency requirements of the Open Internet rules on net neutrality.
A smaller ISP has now been defined 250,000 subscribers, up from 100,000 in the previous definition, and the exemption ends after five years.
Lawmakers said that the measure is aimed at avoiding costly administrative requirements for smaller broadband providers.
"These small providers don't have enough resources to navigate the bureaucratic maze and bring broadband to communities at the same time," Republican Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy said. "And if these small Internet service providers go under, it could leave many people with limited Internet access and no access at all."
For its part, the FCC recently extended the exemption for a year and delayed a decision about making it permanent while the regulator collected more info on the impact of the enhanced transparency requirements on small ISPs.
Following the House's decision, the bill must now pass the Senate and get President Obama's signature.
In December 2015, the FCC exempted a portion of other service providers from the rules for a year following the passage of the new net neutrality rules and extended their exemption through this year.
"They still have to, as you know, follow all the laws and all the protections and all that," House Communications and Technology Subcommittee Chairman Greg Walden said.
With the bill in place, the FCC would write a report examining if it should make the exemption permanent and if it should redefine what constitutes a smaller ISP.
Meanwhile, Senators Steve Daines (R-Mont.), Jim Risch (R-Idaho) and Joe Manchin (D-West Va.) presented a larger companion bill.
Not everyone is happy with the new bill. A number of Democrat lawmakers are concerned that the bill's language could take away the FCC's regulatory power to protect consumers from various issues such as fraudulent billing charges, as well as oversee mergers or investigate possible net neutrality violations.

In the months since our last update, progress has been moving along nicely at the site of Allied Properties and Westbank's Telus Sky, the Bjarke Ingels Group- and Dialog Architects-designed 59-storey tower now underway in the heart of downtown Calgary. Recent photos on our Forum reveal the progress that has been made to date, with the tower now rising several storeys above grade and the development already beginning to take its place on the local skyline.
Viewed above, Telus Sky will soon join the likes of Brookfield Place among the tallest towers in Calgary. Viewed from another angle below, Telus Sky can be seen from the corner, where the modern glass tower will soon dominate the local landscape.
With much work yet to be done before the projected opening date in late 2017, the tower has another 50-plus storeys to go, though it is already beginning to change the local streetscape and immediate urban character of the area. The full effect of its impact at street level will soon be felt once the two-level retail podium opens to the public.
Once complete, the 221-metre Telus Sky will bring 25 floors of office space and 28 floors of residential space with 326 units online. The new mixed-use development will dramatically increase the urban density of the area, with a flood of new office workers and residents soon to move into the building. Also of note, the Telus Sky Lounge may become the new home of Calgary's Lost Gargoyles, as the whimsical remnants of the former Calgary Herald Building may be incorporated into the new structure.


The addition of molding and trim can make such a difference in a room. Installing crown molding, or upgrading door and window casings can make an ordinary room extraordinary.
Another nice touch to transform a room is installing raised panels or bead board. This allows for a light colored solid bottom paired with a deeper more dramatic top, or even the addition of wall covering, which really makes a room pop.
The possibilities are endless. Let's see when we can do for you!

The media is under fire again in the current GOP election cycle as details surface that CNN altered the sequence of a video in order to change Donald Trump's answers to a Yahoo reporter's questions.
An unedited version of the same video now shows that Trump did not say, "Absolutely" when asked if he would employ a Muslim registry and that the answer Trump gave to the question was never included in the video released by CNN.
Talk show radio host Rush Limbaugh weighed in on the edited video, "They keep applying standard, ordinary, everyday tactics on hit pieces to Donald Trump, and all that happens as a result is that Trump increases his support," he said.
There is no indication whether CNN will un-publish the doctored video or continue to publicize the false information.


I want to connect my sky digibox to my speakers and music center, but i dont have to proper cables, i have 2 old Playstation 2 scart leads, (The ones with the male connections, the red, white and yellow. (Not the actual scart) If i cut off the male connecton, could i attach it to the other end of the wire easily? Like an f connector? See the picture for a better idea. I´d cut off the connector of 1 and stick it to the other end of the wire. Would it work?
The analogue audio levels used are fairly standard (roughly, "zero level"!). But, for a particular lead, it depends whether the audio connection is wired as "in" or "out" on the SCART connector!
If the SCART connector is moulded on, there's a 50% chance (just try and see)! Otherwise, you have to rewire it, which will be impossible if it's "moulded on".
Otherwise, SCART leads from "pound shops" can easily be taken to bits, and with a soldering iron there's no problem making a working lead (for SCART pins use/diagrams, do a google search).

AZIO ATOM Ambidextrous Gaming Mouse Review
March 7, 2018	by Ryan Kerschner
AZIO ATOM Overview
The most unique feature of the ATOM is definitely the ambidextrous design of the mouse. Now you may be thinking to yourself, "I've seen plenty of OEM mice that have a symmetrical body to them, and they are ambidextrous as well". While that might be true about the symmetrical body, the ATOM has a bit of customization when it comes to the additional buttons available to users, which we will cover a bit later on.
Looking straight down on the mouse, we see that it is truly a mirror-image from the left side to the right. Both the left and right mouse buttons are exactly the same size, and feature the exact same curvature, unlike many gaming mice that are clearly intended to be used by right-handed gamers. Beneath the left and right mouse buttons are Huano-branded switches, which according to AZIO are rated for up to 20 million clicks. Sitting between the left and right mouse buttons is a wider-than-normal scroll wheel that provides a bit more surface area for your finger. The rubber surface of the wheel features a V-shaped pattern to give a bit more grip than some mice wheels with a smooth surface. The rear portion of the mouse body has a nice, gradual hump to it, with a semi-transparent AZIO logo towards the rear.
The entire body of the ATOM has a textured surface that is a bit rougher than what we normally see on mice. We have seen everything from glossy finishes to slightly textured plastic, but the ATOM probably has the most noticeably rough texture of any mouse we have looked at. It did take a bit to get used to in our testing, but it is not uncomfortable in the slightest.
Taking a look at the left side of the mouse, we can see a pretty standard layout. There are two buttons just above the thumb rest that provide forward and backward functions. These buttons have a glossy surface and are sized nicely to ensure you know when you are touching them. Their placement was also very ideal in our testing, as we didn't feel the need to have to move our thumb forward or backward in order to reach the buttons.
Making up the majority of the left side is a plastic side panel that employs the same slightly rough texture in addition to angled grooves for additional grip. We would have like to see a rubber material used here, as we think that is the best material for a good grip, but the rough surface of the plastic, in addition to the grooves, was actually quite good at providing a good grasp of the mouse.
Moving over to the right side, we see a mirror-image of the left side. Again we have the two forward and backward buttons sitting just above the textured and grooved thumb grip.
As the ATOM is an ambidextrous design, there really isn't much more to talk about, other than the fact that a left-handed gamer will have an experience with the ATOM that is identical to that of a right-handed gamer.
The rear of a mouse is typically not something to really discuss, but we just wanted to point out the design features that AZIO used on the ATOM. As mentioned earlier, the back portion of the body of the mouse is home to an illuminated AZIO logo. Along the rear curve of the mouse, there is a silver "bar" that not only adds a bit of a color contrast to the mouse, but also serves as a "reflector" of sorts for the RGB LED lighting that is found around the perimeter of the mouse. If you will notice, the seams around the ATOM are a bit larger than what you might find on other mice. This isn't due to poor fit and form. It is actually spaced this way to allow the internal lighting to show through around the perimeter of the mouse.
Up front we have a pretty standard view with the six foot long braided mouse cable exiting the body of the mouse just between the left and right mouse buttons. It is here that we can also get a good look at a semi-transparent light diffuser that lets the RGB LED lighting shine through. We also get a good look at the width of the mouse wheel and its grooved rubber surface.
Flipping the ATOM over really threw us for a loop when compared to other mice. Not only are there your standard PTFE feet for sliding along your mousing surface, along with a cutout for the PixArt PMW3360 optical sensor, but there is also a mixture of switches and a button for configuring the ATOM.
Starting in the top left, we find a three-way switch for adjusting the polling rate. You can select between 125, 500, and 1,000Hz by simply sliding the switch to the corresponding position. In the upper right side we have a switch that is used to enable or disable the left side and right side mouse buttons. Setting the position of the switch to either side determines which set of buttons is enabled or disabled. For example, if the switch is set to "L.BTN", the left side buttons are turned on, and the right side buttons are disabled. The opposite result occurs if the switch is in the "R.BTN" position. Setting the switch to the "OFF" position disables all four of the side buttons.
To the left of the optical sensor is a single button that serves two functions for the ATOM; DPI control and lighting adjustment. A light in the center of the button corresponds with one of seven DPI settings. Cyan for 400, Orange for 800, Red for 1200, White for 1600, Yellow for 2400, Green for 3200, and Blue for 6400. Simply pressing the button once will cycle through the DPI settings, and the color of the light on the button will indicate the current setting.
Holding down the button for five seconds puts the ATOM into Lighting Modification Mode, which is indicated by the button's LED flashing five times. Flipping the mouse over lets you use the left side buttons to cycle through the available lighting modes of Static, Breathing, RGB Cycling, RGB Marquee, and Off. When in Static or Breathing modes, you can use the right side buttons to select your desired color from Cyan, Orange, Red, White, Yellow, Green, and Blue. Once you have your lighting set, you can simply press the DPI button again to exit Lighting Modification Mode.

Cony Konstin is the Director of Coaching of Westside Metros SC, a small club based in Beaverton, Ore., that has gotten national attention with the success of its U-19 Internationals boys team and has sent players to the U-15 national team pool.
It seems to me that playing soccer with different kinds of balls is good for children's skill development. I don't have scientific evidence for this, but a lot of anecdotes from great players.
The choice of where to have your child play youth soccer can be very difficult. Multiple clubs, "select teams," or leagues will tout their services or programs, often with promises of glory down the road. There is no shortage of choices for where your child can spend the next year of development -- and in the United States, parents have more choice than in any other country.
The Youth Soccer Insider continues its series in which we ask the leaders of U.S. youth clubs to address key issues on the state of American youth soccer. Charlie Slagle is Chief Executive of the North Carolina's Capital Area Soccer League (CASL), a "full-service club" with 9,000 registered players.
Officiating professional soccer is definitely not for the faint of heart. This is not surprising as people's livelihoods are based on the results. Officiating youth soccer is sometimes not for the faint-hearted either. The majority of youth soccer referees quit within their first two years with verbal abuse by kids' parents being the No. 1 reason for quitting.
In a new Youth Soccer Insider series, we're asking the leaders of U.S. youth clubs to address key issues on the state of American youth soccer. Tim Schulz is the president and CEO of Rush Soccer, which has affiliate clubs in more than 20 states, representing 34,000 youth players.
Ambitions to play college soccer can have a significant impact on a child's path through the youth game -- and the dream of a college soccer scholarship is undoubtedly one reason why parents are willing to spend so much on club ball. We've asked Avi Stopper, the founder of college recruiting software company CaptainU.com, to address the issues faced by parents and players, and how clubs have become involved in college counseling.
Is Your Rec Program Getting Enough Attention?
Are you taking your eye off of the ball in regards to your recreation program? In many clubs the recreation side gets much less attention than the travel side of things. This is unfortunate because the recreation side, in most clubs, has participation of three to four times more players then travel.


New technology trends such as IoT and Big Data are involving so fast that the term "Globalisation" is slowly becoming irrelevant. Businesses that adopt new Technologies will be able to remain their competitiveness in the market. So, what is the next revolution in Engineering?
