We have been customers of Timberline Lawn and Landscape for over a year now and are so happy with the service. The team is consistent, reliable, and the weekly lawn service prices are very reasonable. In short, our lawn looks great! (It's nice not to be "that house" on the block that always has an overgrown lawn!). Once, after a pretty big storm, our back yard was littered with fallen branches and leaves. We emailed Richard, and the team was able to come out the next day and clear out the mess. The back yard lawn was beautiful and ready for the barbeque with friends we had that weekend!
Timberline lawn and landscape has provided my lawn service since March 2009, and I have always been very pleased. They keep my lawn well manicured, and remove any branches that fall from the trees. Their pricing on specialty items like plantings and edging bushes is very reasonable, and more importantly, Richard is very conscientious about researching any problems and how to treat my lawn and landscape beds. I also really appreciate the ability to pay for my services on the Timberline website, and their accounting procedures are thorough. I virtually never have any billing issues, which is a nice change from my two previous lawn service providers. Timberline lawn and landscape provides much more than the standard lawn service, and they are very professional. I highly recommend Timberline!

Q: MSBuild: asterisks and strange ItemGroup Exclude behaviour I have a script that attempts to construct an ItemGroup out of all files in a certain directory while excluding files with certain names (regardless of extension).
The list of files to be excluded initially contains file extensions, and I am using Community Tasks' RegexReplace to replace the extensions with an asterisk. I then use this list in the item's Exclude attribute. For some reason the files do not get excluded properly, even though the list appears to be correct.
To try and find the cause I created a test script (below) which has two tasks: first one initialises two properties with the list of file patterns in two different ways. The second task prints both properties and the files resulting from using both these properties in the Exclude attribute.
The properties' values appear to be identical, however the resulting groups are different. How is this possible?
<Project xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003"
         DefaultTargets="Init;Test" ToolsVersion="3.5">
  <Import Project="$(MSBuildExtensionsPath)\MSBuildCommunityTasks\MSBuild.Community.Tasks.Targets"/>

  <Target Name="Init">
    <ItemGroup>
      <OriginalFilenames Include="TestDir\SampleProj.exe"/>
      <OriginalFilenames Include="TestDir\SampleLib1.dll"/>
    </ItemGroup>
    <RegexReplace Input="@(OriginalFilenames)" Expression="\.\w+$" Replacement=".*">
      <Output TaskParameter="Output" ItemName="PatternedFilenames"/>
    </RegexReplace>
    <PropertyGroup>
      <ExcludeFilesA>TestDir\SampleProj.*;TestDir\SampleLib1.*</ExcludeFilesA>
      <ExcludeFilesB>@(PatternedFilenames)</ExcludeFilesB>
    </PropertyGroup>
  </Target>

  <Target Name="Test">
    <Message Text='ExcludeFilesA: $(ExcludeFilesA)' />
    <Message Text='ExcludeFilesB: $(ExcludeFilesB)' />
    <ItemGroup>
      <AllFiles Include="TestDir\**"/>
      <RemainingFilesA Include="TestDir\**" Exclude="$(ExcludeFilesA)"/>
      <RemainingFilesB Include="TestDir\**" Exclude="$(ExcludeFilesB)"/>
    </ItemGroup>
    <Message Text="
**AllFiles**
@(AllFiles, '
')" />
    <Message Text="
**PatternedFilenames**
@(PatternedFilenames, '
')" />
    <Message Text="
**RemainingFilesA**
@(RemainingFilesA, '
')" />
    <Message Text="
**RemainingFilesB**
@(RemainingFilesB, '
')" />
  </Target>

</Project>

Output (reformatted somewhat for clarity):
ExcludeFilesA: TestDir\SampleProj.*;TestDir\SampleLib1.*
ExcludeFilesB: TestDir\SampleProj.*;TestDir\SampleLib1.*

AllFiles:
  TestDir\SampleLib1.dll
  TestDir\SampleLib1.pdb
  TestDir\SampleLib2.dll
  TestDir\SampleLib2.pdb
  TestDir\SampleProj.exe
  TestDir\SampleProj.pdb

PatternedFilenames:
  TestDir\SampleProj.*
  TestDir\SampleLib1.*

RemainingFilesA:
  TestDir\SampleLib2.dll
  TestDir\SampleLib2.pdb

RemainingFilesB:
  TestDir\SampleLib1.dll
  TestDir\SampleLib1.pdb
  TestDir\SampleLib2.dll
  TestDir\SampleLib2.pdb
  TestDir\SampleProj.exe
  TestDir\SampleProj.pdb

Observe that both ExcludeFilesA and ExcludeFilesB look identical, but the resulting groups RemainingFilesA and RemainingFilesB differ.
Ultimately I want to obtain the list RemainingFilesA using the pattern generated the same way ExcludeFilesB is generated. Can you suggest a way, or do I have to completely rethink my approach?

A: The true cause of this was revealed accidentally when a custom task threw an exception.
The actual value of ExcludeFilesA is TestDir\SampleProj.*;TestDir\SampleLib1.* like one might expect. However the actual value of ExcludeFilesB is TestDir\SampleProj.%2a;TestDir\SampleLib1.%2a.
Presumably Message unescapes the string before using it, but Include and Exclude do not. That would explain why the strings look the same but behave differently.
Incidentally, the execution order doesn't seem to have anything to do with this, and I'm pretty sure (following extensive experimentation) that everything gets executed and evaluated exactly in the order in which it appears in this script.

A: ItemGroups need to be evaluated before targets execution, and the PatternedFilenames ItemGroup is being created on the fly within its target container.
You could workaround this using the CreateItem task, which will ensure the PatternedFilenames scope throughout the execution:
<RegexReplace Input="@(OriginalFilenames)" Expression="\.\w+$" Replacement=".*">
  <Output TaskParameter="Output" ItemName="PatternedFilenames_tmp"/>
</RegexReplace>
<CreateItem Include="@(PatternedFilenames_tmp)">
  <Output TaskParameter="Include" ItemName="PatternedFilenames"/>
</CreateItem>

The vital support provided by youth workers across Scotland has been celebrated.
The National Youth Work Awards 2019 took place last week and celebrate Scotland's 80,000 youth workers, who work with over 350,000 young people every year.
Eilaine Coffey, a youth worker from Dundee was named Scotland's Youth Worker of the Year 2019 for her work in empowering vulnerable young people to turn their lives around.
Eilaine works for Hot Chocolate Trust (HC) based in the Steeple Church, Dundee. Since 2001, HC has worked with thousands of young people who hang out in the city centre, building relationships and supporting them to navigate the changes towards adulthood and positive futures.
She said: "For me the biggest honour on receiving this award is that young people took the time to nominate me. I can honestly say I was blown away when I found out.
Modo – Circus with Purpose, based in Peterhead, picked up a national award for reducing youth crime and building community relations. Their approach has seen a 46% reduction in anti-social behaviour in the local area. In the last year 600 youngsters have used the drop-in youth café every week, where they have the opportunity to play sport, get involved in circus and creative sessions and get one-to-one support from youth workers about issues they are facing in life.
Scotland's Inspirational Leader of the Year went to Fergus McMillan, chief executive of LGBT Youth Scotland. Whether he's judging a drag lip sync battle with the Cabinet Minister for Equalities, speaking up for LGBTI young people's rights in the media or welcoming new volunteers into the LGBT Youth Scotland fold, his leadership style brings people together.
And the accolades for the organisation did not end there, Daniel Bustillos of LGBT Youth Scotland in Stirling was named Volunteer of the Year for his work with local young people.
A campaign highlighting mental health support, called 13 ways, won the Mental Health and Wellbeing Award. The campaign was led by Year of Young People Ambassadors in North Ayrshire.
The ambassadors wanted to counteract what they saw as negative messages coming from the Netflix series 13 Reasons Why, which centres round a young woman's 13 reasons why she committed suicide. Working with local partners and a creative agency, they developed a range of digital content and campaign messages to highlight support available to young people.

MARLBOROUGH, Mass. (8/26/15)--The Cooperative Credit Union Association, representing credit unions in Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Rhode Island, co-hosted two free homebuying fairs Saturday in Marlborough, Mass. (Daily CU Scan Aug. 25). Partnering with MassHousing, the Massachusetts Division of Banks and Loan Agencies, and the Massachusetts Association of Realtors, the two daylong events allowed attendees to gain insight about the homebuying process from industry representatives. The association also used the opportunity to raise awareness for credit unions---though many of the more than 100 people who attended were already well acquainted with them, and their good reputations. One attendee remarked that they liked the fact that credit unions are member-owned and offer lower fees. While another attendee recalled that her credit union, St. Mary's CU, Marlborough, Mass., gave her her first mortgage as a single mother based on her reputation as an active member of the community ...
TREVOSE, Pa. (8/26/15)--U.S. Rep. Mike Fitzpatrick (R-Pa.) attended the Aug. 21 ribbon-cutting ceremony for TruMark FinancialCU's new branch in Doylestown, Pa. TruMark Financial now has five branches in Bucks County, according to a release from the Trevose, Pa.-based credit union. "It's wonderful to see TruMark Financial's commitment to the community and its further expansion into Bucks County," said Fitzpatrick, who has been a member of a credit union since he was 18, according to the release ...
OCEANSIDE, Calif., and FRAMINGHAM, Mass. (8/26/15)--Bill Birnie has been named president/CEO of Pacific Marine CU, the board of the Oceanside, Calif.-based credit union announced this week. Birnie, a 25-year veteran of the U.S. Marine Corps., served as president/CEO of Eagle Community CU prior to joining Pacific Marine. Birnie also has served as a volunteer supervisory committee member and board member. He has also sat on the board of the California Credit Union League. "His honorable military career coupled with 26 years of credit union leadership experience makes Bill the ideal individual to maintain Pacific Marine's rich heritage and guide out credit union into the future," said Richard B. Rothwell, Pacific Marine board chair. Across the country, Joseph Mansour was named president/CEO of MetroWest Community FCU, Framingham, Mass. Mansour will take the reins from outgoing president/CEO John Gallinagh, who took the helm in 2009. Mansour previously worked as the credit union's chief financial officer, though he has held multiple positions in the financial services industry throughout his 27-year career, including CEO, financial analyst and auditor ...

The Missing Right: A Constitutional Right to Vote
In the era of the voting wars, the right to vote is itself a subject of continued partisan, regional, and racial conflict.
by Jonathan Soros, Mark Schmitt via Democracy Journal on May 1, 2013
A polling station in St Andrew Presbyterian Church March 6, 2012 in Sandy Springs, Georgia.

In order to become a naturalized citizen of the United States, until recently you had to answer this question: "What is the most important right granted to U.S. citizens?" The correct answer, according to the United States government, was, "The right to vote." But that "right" has always been on shaky ground. Just as the Constitution once countenanced slavery, it also allowed voting to be restricted to property-holding white men. The Thirteenth Amendment expunged the stain of slavery from our basic law, but the Constitution has never fulfilled the democratic promise we associate with it. Put simply—and this is surprising to many people—there is no constitutional guarantee of the right to vote. Qualifications to vote in House and Senate elections are decided by each state, and the Supreme Court affirmed in Bush v. Gore that "[t]he individual citizen has no federal constitutional right to vote for electors for the President of the United States."
Amendments to the Constitution have required "equal protection," eliminated the poll tax, and made it unconstitutional to restrict voting based on race, sex, and age for those over 18. For years the Supreme Court relied on these amendments to expand the franchise, and the broadening of voting rights, which was associated with the civil-rights movement, was widely accepted as a marker of progress toward a just society until about 2000. More recently, in an environment of increasingly rigid partisan loyalties, controlling who votes offers more leverage than persuading voters to change their minds, and thus access to the ballot itself has become an arena of intense political conflict. These conflicts constitute what the election scholar Richard Hasen calls "the voting wars."Most of these wars end up in the courts, where the rules of engagement—defined by our Constitution—do not sufficiently protect voters' rights to exercise their franchise. In the absence of an explicit right to vote, the Court has found no issue with a variety of regulations that unnecessarily interfere with voting.
The result has been a steady descent into chaos and confusion that threatens the integrity of our institutions at home and our credibility in promoting democratic governance abroad.

Because we use raw unadulterated materials our metal products will patina: surface tarnish or patina are characteristics of metal. One may choose to leave their bronze, copper, brass and iron with a natural occurring patina, or, restore them by polish. The natural oxidation process that occurs when these metals are exposed to the atmosphere can be quite beautiful, though some people prefer their metalware to be shiny and brilliant. Traditional methods of cleaning metals include rubbing with a mixture of a slightly abrasive material (salt, sugar or baking soda) and an acidic liquid (lemon, juice or tamarind paste). Brasso and other industrial metal cleaners are also available, but not recommended for any items used for food since chemical based and harmful if ingested. One can also polish metal surfaces with a soft cloth such as an old t-shirt and beeswax.
Thoroughly clean the interiors of your drinking vessels before first use- a mixture of baking soda and vinegar is your best bet. An additional few drops of eucalyptus or tea tree oil as disinfectant will help too. Please note that one receives the metal's beneficial properties because of direct contact with unadulterated metal itself.
Brass is an alloy made of copper and zinc. The antimicrobial properties of brass have been known for centuries, commonly used for doorknobs and push plates and just about anything frequently touched by the masses. Brass is often referred to as "the poor man's gold" because its comparatively inexpensive and the eye can rarely discern the difference. Brass is food safe for non-acidic foods.
Bronze is an alloy comprised of Copper and Tin, the most prized of the metals we offer. Because bronze 'sings' when struck by another object, many refer to bronze as "Kansa" (having a sweet voice). According to Ayurvedic medicine, bronze is the next auspicious metal after gold and silver to be used with food because of its immune-boosting and nutritive values. Traditional Ayurvedic doctors use vessels of bronze for preparing medicines. Ancient scriptures describe bronze as increasing the intellectual level of those who use it. Food safe!
Copper's beneficial properties by utilizing copper vessels for purifying their drinking water. Our copper products ship without coatings- this ensures that the water you consume remains in direct contact with copper. Allow water to remain in copper overnight or at least 6 hours for beneficial effects. Replace water and wash metal drinking vessels daily after use. Copper is food safe for water and non-acidic foods.
Our Iron wares are made of an alloy of iron and steel. Iron vessels are used in asian kitchens for frying and stewing; clean as you would a wok or cast iron cookware.
Our horn bowls are crafted of natural buffalo horn in specialized workshops. The horns do not come from protected animals but from domestic Buffalo. Because it's a natural material, each bowl will have a slightly different coloration and texture. No two alike. Clean horn products with luke warm water by hand and dry immediately. Do not use a dishwasher, soap or soak. Food safe, however do not allow fluid food items to sit for prolonged periods beyond a meal (jam, salad, dressings). Occasionally apply a light coating of oil to prevent drying out.

The Chesterton Sectional was Tuesday, but it was business as usual at practice the day before the post-season for the Chesterton girls cross country team.
"We do the same loop every Monday, so if we took it off now, it might screw things up," Trojans coach Brian Carden said. "We basically worked through the race, knowing there are bigger ones ahead, hopefully."
Chesterton advanced to Saturday's New Prairie Regional with a runner-up finish at Sunset Hill Farm County Park, scoring 69 points. Valparaiso won its third straight title, posting 51, with New Prairie third at 77. Portage (95) and LaPorte (103) also qualified.
"Another good, solid performance," Carden said. "New Prairie was a little closer than we wanted, but their top two are pretty tough. I'd like to be a little closer to Valpo, but I think we can do that."
Elena Lancioni of LaPorte pulled away to a comfortable victory in a time of 18:43.8. Hannah Hoffmann paced the Trojans, crossing sixth in 19:37.1. Haley Cushway finished 12th (19:57.1).
"Hannah ran solid," Carden said. "Haley ran OK. What I liked about her was it looked like she was losing it for a second, we yelled at her and she was back in it."
Kassidy Scott (16th, 20:10.5), Rosie Biehl (17th, 20:12.1) and Melanie Buckmaster (18th, 20:12.3) finished in succession. Josie Tolin (24th, 20:38.8) and Erin Socha (30th, 20:56.2) also ran for the Trojans.
"We had a good pack," Carden said. "I'd like to see (our three, four, five) move up a little more, like I've said all year, but they weren't bad. Kassidy ran much better. Melanie fell, but got back up. Josie was right there with 1,000 (meters) to go."
Chesterton ran without freshman regulars Sam Giordano and Leah Sink.
"Sam had a (sore) knee pop up so we figured why risk it," Carden said. "In hindsight, there was another we could've held. That's OK. I don't really like the Tuesday-Saturday (schedule) too much and this way, we can see who's going to run the next time."
Next race will be Saturday's New Prairie Regional.
1. Valparaiso 51, 2. Chesterton 69, 3. New Prairie 77, 4. Portage 95, 5. LaPorte 103, 6. Wheeler 163, 7. Boone Grove 171, 8. Westville 275, 9. South Central 276, 10. Washington Township 289, 11. Michigan City 316, 12. Lake Station 331, 13. Marquette NTS.
1. Elena Lancioni (LP) 18;43.8, 2. Rachel Thompson (NP) 18:54.5, 3. Kyleigh Werner (NP) 19:07.9, 4. Alison Mundell (V) 19:21.1, 5. Kyra Ball (P) 19:25.5, 6. Hannah Hoffmann (C) 19:37.1, 7.

Era 4: Changing Sides
By Prof. Scarlet Leslie-Lewis, June 15 in Emerald Cup
In some of the stories we've been exposed to, villains actually started out as one of the good guys but due to certain circumstances, they found themselves turning to the dark side (think Anakin Skywalker). On the other side of the coin, sometimes villains have a change of heart and go to great lengths to redeem themselves (Severus Snape is a good example of that).
What would it take for you to switch sides, and become more aligned with villainy or heroism? Feel free to answer honestly or humorously.
Your answer should be at least 5 sentences in length in order to earn 5 emerald shards, which will be going to the Heroes.
Prompt provided by Prof. Amy Lupin
Will Lestrange
Location:Changes more often than Carmen Sandiego
There's a difference between changing sides and changing who you are. A major political figure of the past century, well-known for his persuasive way of speaking (he was an actor before he was a politician) switched alignments because, in his words, "I didn't leave the <party name deliberately obscured here> party. The party left me." In other words, his positions and beliefs never changed; instead, the way society labeled those things were what changed. And so it is with 'hero' or 'villain' with me: while I know what I stand for and what I believe, society's own labels can and do change over time. And if they switch so that my values are now 'heroic' or 'villainous', then that will make me a 'hero' or 'villain', respectively!
Iverian Gnash
Location:wandering
I agree with Will that sometimes how the hero and villain are classified change, so people's alliances do as well. In this case, people don't change their ways, their 'side' did, so they switch sides to accommodate for this. For me, if someone I cared about were threatened and switching sides would improve the situation, then I would switch. We see with Narcissa Malfoy that she seemed to be with the Death Eaters to protect her family. However, if I began to slowly change my mindset and my beliefs became more aligned with the other side, then I would most likely become a hero or villain depending on what side I was on in the beginning. Sometimes, our beliefs change as we get older and gain more experience with life and thus we become a 'hero' or 'villain' instead of what we were at first.
Arianna Stonewater

I don't think there is anything that would make me change sides. That being said, I think sometimes the ends justify the means. That is, sometimes I might need to do bad or "evil" things for a good reason. This is especially true when concerning my friends or loved ones, or if it means stopping a big bad guy. An example might be stealing something before a bad guy can, or shooting a bad guy so he'll let go of the hostage.
Who has the best coffee?
What about books -- do you have a great library?
Or foods ... do you have a shawarma joint nearby? "There's a shawarma joint about two blocks from here. I don't know what it is, but I wanna try it."
Make me an offer, if nothing else I'll know where to go for a 'cuppa hot'.
Edited June 17 by Prof. Tarma Amelia Black
someone actually asked if I was serious with this ...
I don't think it would take much to get me to change sides. If I believe in what the other side stands for, I go there. If I like the people more on the other side, I go there. If the location of the other side is nicer, I go there. If it looks like my side is about to collapse, I go there. If it looks like we have no chance of success and we will be hurt, I change sides. Really, you shouldn't rely on me to fight for your side, as at the first sign of trouble I'll probably change sides.
On 6/14/2019 at 9:02 PM, Will Lestrange said:
Seriously, not shawarma. Pizza. That's it!
Actually, when I read what Will wrote, inside I felt *snap*. That's sort of it.
I think that seeing the choices that others have made and watching the consequences of those choices, might shine a light on issues and ways of being which I'd never considered, but had accepted as part of me because ... that is the way it is. But then I become consciously aware of them and choose otherwise. In other words, I recognize and accept that that has never been a part of who and what I truly and and so I choose to be only who and what I truly am.
Along those same lines, though, I remember Hawkeye when Loki (.......) him. Forced his own will upon Hawkeye, and so Hawkeye apparently 'changed'. "Barton's been compromised." Black Widow learns Barton's been Compromised. Did Hawkeye really change his allegiance? Or was he forcibly 'changed' and his real self hidden under layers of compulsions and lies to which, for which, he had no immunities? Obviously, I feel that Hawkeye never did change his allegiance, he was simply manipulated into acting out the will of someone else who felt himself entitled to such behavior.
Sky Alton
I can be highly emotional: jealousy and impulsive anger are my biggest character flaws. In the heat of the moment, I think that might cause me to switch sides. But I think it's as Arianna said: it might not be a conscious 'switch' but instead the choice to act in a way that might be called villainous while still considering myself a hero. In a way, I think this is more dangerous than making an actual decision to relabel myself or switch allegiances. A lot of atrocities have been committed by people trying to protect what they love or, worse, because they genuinely believe that good will come of it.
Kendra Givens
K3Ndragon
I think, similarly to what some have said, that I might not be acting as a villain while being cognizant of it. My sarcasm, I think, can get villainous without my trying to make it that way. One example I have is that I said a coworker 'quit' a program that we worked on together for a few years (talking to someone else) and the person I had said that to told her about what I had said. I very much like and respect this person, I was really just playing with my words. She was so upset she was shaking and spoke to me in a very low voice. We're fine with each other now, but I felt terrible that I had hurt her that badly. In that situation, I was accidentally a villain.

Q: Get user from the middleware in Aqueduct How to expose information from an authorization middleware, such as the logged-in user to the subsequent request controllers with Aqueduct?
Eg my route is:
.route('/events/[:id]')
.link(() => SecretKeyAuthorizer(context))
.link(() => EventsController(context));

And the SecretKeyAuthorizer uses a header to find the current User. And I'd like to use the information from the User in the EventsController.

A: After a long search I finally found the answer. One can use attachments that is a dictionary for that purpose in the request object, kept for its lifetime. So typically the Authorizer would do something like:
  request.attachments["user"] = user;

And the subsequent RessourceControllers can use it with :
  User user = request.attachments["user"] as User;

Note that request, is a member of the "Controller" class, so it is directly accessible through inheritance.

HomeMaritime/OffshoreABB enables ground-breaking trial of remotely operated passenger ferry
ABB enables ground-breaking trial of remotely operated passenger ferry
Source: press release, 4 December 2018
5 December 2018 Editor Maritime/Offshore, Technology 0
ABB Ability™ Marine Pilot Control (photo: ABB)
Ice-class passenger ferry Suomenlinna II was remotely piloted through test area near Helsinki harbour, proving that human oversight of vessels from anywhere is achievable with today's technologies.
With this historic trial in the Finnish capital's port last week, ABB and Helsinki City Transport took the next step in autonomous shipping. In the remote trial, the world's first for an existing passenger ferry, ABB successfully tested the enhancement of ship operations with technologies that are already available for nearly any kind of vessel.
"We are excited about the potential impact of this test on the future of the maritime industry," says Peter Terwiesch, the President of ABB's Industrial Automation division. "Advanced automation solutions from ABB are making the previously impossible possible for a wide range of sectors, including shipping, which is actively searching for technologies that can rapidly deliver more efficiency and better safety."
"Autonomous does not mean unmanned. As vessels become more electric, digital and connected than ever before, ABB is able to equip seafarers with existing solutions that augment their skillsets. In this way, we are enhancing the overall safety of marine operations," says Juha Koskela, Managing Director at ABB's Marine & Ports unit.
Suomenlinna II was retrofitted with ABB's new dynamic positioning system, ABB Ability™ Marine Pilot Control, and steered from a control centre in Helsinki.
Speaking after the voyage, Captain Lasse Heinonen says, "The progress we have made with the remote trial has been remarkable. I believe we are on the right track to exploring further possibilities of this technology as we move forward."
This breakthrough trial represents a crucial step toward increasing the maritime industry's acceptance of autonomous operation systems. Autonomous solutions are expected to transform international shipping in the coming decades as the industry recovers from the downturn caused by the 2008 financial crisis. Global demand for maritime transport has grown by 30% over the past decade, according to the International Chamber of Shipping data, while more than 10 billion tons of cargo are now transported by sea every year.
Suomenlinna II normally voyages from Helsinki to Suomenlinna fortress, the UNESCO World Heritage site on a nearby island. For the remote piloting trial, the ferry departed from Helsinki's market square, Kauppatori, and Captain Heinonen wirelessly operated Suomenlinna II with ABB Ability™ Marine Pilot Control through a pre-selected area of Helsinki harbour.
The trial took place during the vessel's off hours, away from shore with no passengers aboard, in an area free of other vessels. While it is now equipped with the new dynamic positioning system, the vessel will continue to operate via a set of conventional onboard controls, with the remote mode deployed during the trial only. Research and development will continue with the ferry and her crew.
Suomenlinna II, originally built in 2004, is fitted with ABB's icebreaking Azipod® electric propulsion system. Additionally, the ferry was retrofitted with ABB Ability™ Marine Pilot Vision situational awareness solution in 2017. Suomenlinna II operates year-round, undisturbed by the harsh winter conditions that affect all other modes of transport in the Helsinki region.

What is a Hanex Worktop?
Hanex® is the registered international brand name for a premium range of acrylic solid surface material, with a long term track record since 1995, composed of about 66% natural minerals, blended with 34% acrylic polymer resins.
Hanex worktops have the same luxurious appearance as granite and marble, but because of its unique reconstitution, has even greater strength, flexibility, elasticity, resilience and durability than any natural stone.
What is a Hanex worktop made from?
A high percentage natural stone, known as Alumina Trihydrate, is pulverised and blended with acrylic polymer resins in a special high-tech process, using heat and pressure in a vacuum, to create a solid slab, stronger and more resilient than the natural stone from which it is made.
How does an Hanex worktop differ from a Natural Stone worktop?
Hanex is an improvement on the natural stone from which it is manufactured. All the fissures, cracks and pores found in natural stone are eliminated, to make Hanex a truly solid, impermeable surface with the highest level of hygiene and stain resistance.
Whereas solid stone slabs are dependent on what is quarried from nature in terms of colour, size and appearance, Hanex worktops are created in a large range of colours and textures, with far greater colour consistency, even across different slabs, and can be manufactured in constant sizes and thickness, making it possible to be fitted in larger sizes and with the minimum number of joints.
Natural stone cannot be shaped or formed and joints cannot be "welded" to form the seamless appearance possible with Hanex. Because of the acrylic added to the natural stone, Hanex can be bent, moulded, shaped, and thermoformed into three-dimensional shapes for virtually unlimited design possibilities and accessories.
Hanex can be used anywhere you can imagine.
Hanex is exceptionally versatile, durable and resilient, perfectly suited as worktops of countertops in kitchens, bathrooms, hotels, serving and reception areas, but is a highly adaptable multipurpose material that can be used effectively as high-end wall cladding or flooring in virtually any room in a house or business, with the same visual impact as marble or granite, or other polished stone if you prefer a more contemporary look, by utilising the scores of different rich colours and textures available.
Perfectly sterile areas such as hospitals, surgeries and laboratories benefit from the impermeable surface and seamless joints, with no place for bacteria to accumulate. Airports, hotel check-in counters and serving areas where germs are easily spread, can also be enhanced by its extremely hygienic and easy to clean properties.
Looking for new ideas to decorate? Endless design and application possibilities.
Give a totally new look to your bar area, lounge, dining room, office, boardroom, bathroom, change room, reception room and even bedroom. Hanex's unique blend of natural minerals and acrylic, makes it possible to shape, join and form unique two- and three- dimensional effects, exclusive furniture and even works of art.
Whether you prefer high-tech, time-honoured, ultra-modern, or anything in between, Hanex will offer you the perfect choice of design, colour and texture .
Are Hanex worktops the right choice for you?
Hanex offers you the best solution of acrylic worktops to manifest a bespoke kitchen, bathroom, work or serving area that exudes elegance, combined with unmatched hygiene, strength, durability and ease of cleaning.
To complete the perfect design, Hanex worktops in different thickness, colour and texture can be combined with numerous combinations of integrated bowls, sinks and basins, upstands, splashbacks, downturns, wall cladding, overhangs, edgings, return ends and cut-outs.
Comparable solid surface products are Corian, Ecotops, Diore and HiMacs.
If you are looking for an even harder surface with quartz appearance, you may wish to consider Ecostone, Silestone, Caesarstone, Compac or Technistone.
You can get a quote for all the major brands of worktops in solid surface, natural stone, quartz, wood and ultra compact, from Worktops.net, the leading fabricator and installer of bespoke worktops in the UK.


Police yesterday arrested two men and are looking for a third on suspicion of using fake documents to acquire products worth €140,000 between January-August 2018.
The three allegedly forged multiple phone contracts of a telephone company two were employed at in order to acquire company vouchers.
Subsequently, they used these vouchers to buy company products at lower prices and then sold them to the third suspect who sold them online.
The two men were arrested to facilitate investigations in a case of theft by an employee, acquiring goods with false representations, forgery, counterfeit, stolen, illegal possession of property, dealing with stolen goods and money laundering.

First Ever Knee Replacement with "Smart" Implant Enables Remote Patient Monitoring
New York, NY,
Imagine knee replacement surgery with a "smart" implant that collects and transmits data enabling an orthopedic surgeon to monitor a patient's recovery from afar. It became a reality this week when Peter Sculco, MD, and Fred Cushner, MD, orthopedic surgeons at Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) performed the first knee replacement containing a smart sensor capable of measuring steps taken, walking speed, range of motion and other indicators of knee function following surgery.
An innovation in the growing field of remote patient monitoring, it is the first implantable device approved to collect data on an individual's progress after a total knee replacement − vital information securely relayed to a cloud-based platform for the orthopedic surgeon to review.
Known as the Persona IQ, the smart knee was granted authorization from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in August. Although the technology doesn't preclude office visits altogether, it enables the doctor to actively monitor a patient's recovery with real-world, objective data to supplement their care.
Remote monitoring can be especially useful during the early post-operative period, Dr. Sculco says. "In the first several weeks following knee replacement, hard work is required from the patient, and there can be deviations in recovery that can set people on the wrong path. The earlier you identify a patient who may not be progressing as well as you would like, the sooner you can intervene," he explains. "This could mean a change in an individual's physical therapy plan, enhanced patient education, anti-inflammatory medication or the use of an ice machine. When I go into the exam room to see a patient at the six-week follow-up visit, I should have a very granular understanding of how his or her recovery is going."
The smart knee contains a sensor that is integrated into the joint replacement prosthesis. Once implanted, it records and wirelessly transmits gait data and other information to a personal base station, about the size of a modem, that plugs into an outlet at the patient's home. The data is then securely sent to a cloud-based platform where the orthopedic surgeon can review it and check on the patient's progress and recovery.
"The smart knee uses the same material and technology found in implanted cardiac devices such as pacemakers," explains Dr. Cushner, who is also a founder and chief medical officer of Canary Medical, the company that designed the sensor technology. "It collects data every day during the first year following surgery, providing objective, accurate information on how the knee is functioning. Patient monitoring can continue for much longer, though, as the battery that powers the device was made to last at least 10 years."
Dr. Sculco notes that as time goes by and more patients receive the smart implant, it has the potential to amass a vast amount of information on gait metrics following knee replacement. Down the road, orthopedic researchers could potentially use data analytics and machine learning to translate that information into evidence-based recommendations to ultimately improve outcomes and enhance patient care.
HSS is the world's leading academic medical center focused on musculoskeletal health. At its core is Hospital for Special Surgery, nationally ranked No. 1 in orthopedics (for the 13th consecutive year), No. 3 in rheumatology by U.S. News & World Report (2022-2023), and the best pediatric orthopedic hospital in NY, NJ and CT by U.S. News & World Report "Best Children's Hospitals" list (2022-2023). In a survey of medical professionals in more than 20 countries by Newsweek, HSS is ranked world #1 in orthopedics for a third consecutive year (2023). Founded in 1863, the Hospital has the lowest complication and readmission rates in the nation for orthopedics, and among the lowest infection rates.

The institution is collaborating with medical centers and other organizations to advance the quality and value of musculoskeletal care and to make world-class HSS care more widely accessible nationally and internationally. www.hss.edu.


My morning commute has prompted me to reevaluate this policy. My 5.8-mile run from home to the lab leaves me sweaty and stinky. Not wanting to overwhelm my coworkers with Eau de Crowther, I towel off and change shirts, but it would be even better to perspire less. So my old singlets — from my rave-green one to my black-and-yellow "Bumble Racer" to my Team USA jerseys — are back in circulation.
With my singlet and my commuting backpack, I must appear to be training for some sort of elite urban survival challenge. I guess it's OK to look funny as long as I don't smell too bad.
I would recommend also changing your running shorts after arriving at work!
Definition of look funny: What you personally think looks funny.I never think runners look funny.Except maybe that pic of you at 80 k in Japan :-)Singlet shminglet, Tee whee! Wear what works for you.
Are you also donning true running shorts to go with your singlet, or do you just run in 'general purpose' athletic shorts? I remember in college that the only guys on the x-country team who practiced in actual running shorts seemed to be slow guys like me. All the fast guys just practiced in cut-off sweats or whatever.I only wore singlets for races, too. But that was because I only owned one singlet.
Wool. Seriously. I got so tired of stinking myself out of the house after a run I decided to try it.You can go weeks without changing (at least as far as stink is concerned.)After you've converted to the all-wool all the time crowd, you can grow a huge beard and take up ham radio too.
Paul: Running shirtless in warm weather would make sense except that, with my backpack on, chafing might be problem. Also, sweating directly onto my backpack (without a layer in between) might make the backpack smell even worse.


RCMP in Altona are working to investigate several dead and injured animals in the RM of Rhineland.
On March 5, RCMP were called to a veterinary clinic where two dogs were brought in for treatment. One of the dogs was suffering from a burn the size of a grapefruit through its fur and thorax muscles. The dog's injuries were so severe it had to be euthanized. Police also learned of another dog brought in days earlier belonging to the same owner as the first. The second dog had lacerations to its underside, believed to have been caused by a sharp object. ChrisD.ca has decided not to publish the provided photos of the injured animals, as they are very graphic.
The owner of the dogs said the animals escaped her yard, despite having a 6-foot fence. Large snow drifts made it easier for the animals to leave, but they always returned home. RCMP say it does not appear there was anything on the owner's property to cause similar injuries to the dogs. It is unknown how these injuries were caused.
Later that same day, RCMP were called to a location southwest of Highway 14 and 306. A local resident discovered a coyote and a fox that had been skinned, and tossed over the bridge laying on top of the snow. Both animals did not have tails.
On March 25, a dog was brought to the Pembina Valley Humane Society suffering from malnourishment. The animal was found with twine wrapped/tied around its body and attached to a jug full of rocks. An investigation revealed the dog was a pet that had recently gone missing two days earlier. It was later learned the dog was in fact just skinny from recently nursing 10 puppies, and was not malnourished.
If anyone has any information on these cases or any similar occurrences, please call the Altona RCMP at (204) 324-6970 or your local law enforcement agency.


This is part two of a paper I wrote in grad school on C. S. Lewis and Postmodernism. You can read part one here.
I heard another echo of Lewis in "Structure, Sign, and Play in the Discourse of the Human Sciences," where Derrida analyzed Levi-Strauss's efforts to interpret the underlying structure of myths from outside of their interpretive structures, arguing that there is no absolute center. He points out that in spite of Levi-Strauss's attempt to acknowledge his own perspective in order to step outside of it, he must ultimately fail in his attempt to be "objective" because no one can transcend one's particular cultural place in time in order to study the structure of a particular cultural situation objectively (Derrida 278-287).
In an essay titled "Meditation on a Toolshed," first published in 1945, C. S. Lewis addresses the issue of perspective. Lewis describes being in a dark tool shed and observing a beam of sunlight coming through a crack at the top of the door. As he looked at the sunbeam he could see the dust particles floating in but everything else was dark because he was seeing the beam, not seeing things by the beam. He goes on to describe what happens when he changes his perspective and looks along the beam; he no longer sees the tool shed or the beam, but instead he sees the trees, clouds, and the sun over 90 million miles away. He concludes, "Looking along the beam, and looking at the beam are very different experiences" (Meditation 212). Lewis questions which way of looking is more valid, or true, leading the reader to the conclusion that neither looking at nor looking along are "intrinsically truer or better" than the other, instead "one must look both along and at everything" (Meditation 215).
Lewis expands on this line of thinking in the essay mentioned in yesterday's post, "Myth Became Fact". There he writes, "This is our dilemma – either to taste and not to know or to know and not to taste – or, more strictly, to lack one kind of knowledge because we are in an experience or to lack another kind because we are outside it" (65). Here Lewis proposes myth as (at least) a partial solution: "In the enjoyment of a great myth we come nearest to experiencing as a concrete what can otherwise only be understood as an abstraction" (66).
The issue of perspective came up again in "'Bulverism,' or the Foundation of 20th Century Thought." Lewis takes issue with the Freudians and the Marxists trying to position themselves as the correct interpretation of individual thought processes ("bundles of complexes" and "economic interests") while dismissing Christian arguments for belief as "ideologically tainted" (Bulverism 271-72). Lewis points out that Freudianism and Marxism are as much systems of thought as Christian theology: "The Freudian and the Marxian are in the same boat with all the rest of us, and cannot criticize us from outside. They have sawn off the branch they were sitting on. If, on the other hand, they say the taint need not invalidate their thinking, then neither need it invalidate ours. In which case they have saved their own branch, but also saved ours along with it" (Bulverism 272). Lewis's analysis of the Freudians and Marxians points out, like Derrida, that all analysis is situated in a particular vantage point and there can be no purely objective analysis.
Lewis exhibited the same skepticism towards those in charge of writing the history books that every good postmodernist would do today. In "Historicism" he reminds us that a historian claiming that "the important parts of the past survive" really means the parts that are relevant "to the particular inquiry he has chosen. Thus if he is an economic historian, economic facts are for him important: if a military historian, military facts" (108).

Dying Light gets new Prison Heist mode on Xbox One and PC
Dying Light just keeps on getting more and more content.
Asher Madan
Dying Light is a first-person survival horror game which requires you to withstand a zombie apocalypse in Turkey. Every since it came out, the game has garnered a significant following and even to this day gamers play it regularly. Today, Techland added a new game mode called "Prison Heist".
As expected, Prison Heist takes place on Prison Island. This isolated fortress is home to a fresh game mode where you must break into the armory as fast as you can, either on your own or with friends in co-op. Your group needs to optimize their strategy, cooperate tightly, and loot the place clean before the alarm goes off. Keep in mind that better performance means more valuable rewards, but remember to be prepared for anything because you never know what's around the corner.
Aside from Prison Heist, today's Dying Light update adds a couple of new monsters. Considering that it's Easter soon, the developer announced the "Harran Egg Hunt" where players chase a zombified Easter Bunny. There's also a new Demolisher mutation in Old Town. This creature is bigger, stronger, and more unpredictable, but killing him gives you a massive amount of experience.
If you haven't played Dying Light on Xbox One, be sure to check it out at retailers. The game is currently available for roughly $20 on retailers like Amazon and the Microsoft Store.

Yousef Al Mulla to take over as DSI Group CEO as firm announces Q2 losses
Company reportedly dismisses social media rumours that it is going to suspend shares listing
UAE-based engineering and construction contractor has announced that current Group CEO Dr Fadi Feghal will step down at the end of the month when he is replaced with former Square General Contracting and Transemirates Contracting Company executive Yousef Al Mulla.
The new Group CEO, who will officially started on the 26 August, earned his bachelor's degree in civil engineering in the US and is a certified project director.
His appointment comes as the company followed up its narrow profit in Q1 with losses in the second quarter ensuring it earned a net loss of $49.82 million over H1 2018. In its financial statement, DSI said the losses were due to cost overruns in its non- performing subsidiaries in secondary markets including Oman and Jordan. The contractor added that it was also experiencing a rise in cost to finance its projects debt obligations in its secondary markets. However the UAE remains relatively stable.
It was also revealed that DSI is continuing to prepare its restructuring plan which will include the scaling down of operations in non-core businesses and non-performing business streams.
"The board of directors (BOD) further reviewed the strategic objectives of a new restructuring plan that is being prepared, which will constitute an evolution of the ongoing restructuring and recapitalization efforts that commenced in 2016 and continued throughout 2017 and 2018. The comprehensive plan will be drawn to address the Company and its global subsidiaries across its core and non-core geographies. The plan will be considerate of the rights of all stakeholders including financial institutions, suppliers and vendors, as well as current and past employees of the Company, to ensure business continuity of the Company as one of two UAE entities in the contracting sector listed in the local financial markets. The Company will obtain the necessary regulatory approvals and coordinate with the competent authorities to ensure the success of the plan and its timely execution.
"The BOD further assures shareholders that it is exerting all its efforts and will continue to do so to safeguard the best interests of all its shareholders and to ensure the seamless operation of the Company and its continuity and financial results and the reflection on the return on shareholders' equity."
Elsewhere, Gulf Business has also reported that the company has sent a letter to the Dubai Financial Market dismissing rumours that it plans to suspend trading with its share price declining by almost 80% in 2018.
"There has been several rumours circulating in forums and social media including the possibility of the company's share being suspended from trading and may have resulted in the decline," wrote DSI. "We hereby confirm that the company has no intention to make such a request to suspend the share and that most of teh information that is published in social media forums is incorrect or mere rumours."

Q: Restrict Component Visibility in Lightning App Builder This is probably a very simple question but I'm struggling to understand one little detail. I went through loads of different tutorials but didn't find the answer.
On my Account page, I need to limit a component visibility to a specific permission set through the Lightning App Builder. I click the component - Set Visibility - Add Filter - Advanced - Select - Permissions - then there is an option to choose between the Standard and Custom Permissions.
None of these two include the permission set I need. In fact none of the permissions looks like my permission sets.
What are these permissions? And how can I limit a specific component (Engagement History Dashboard) to a specific permission set?

A: You cannot find permission set in dynamic form. What you need to do is create a custom permission from setup and assign that to the permission set you created. Now select that custom permission here and you will be good to go.

LTE networks prove to be a bit like buses, as two arrive at once
Aug 9, 2013 8:58am
Weary users of public transport in the UK have long attested to the veracity of the statement that you can wait an hour for a bus, only for two or more to arrive at once. You then risk not getting on any of them because they are all full of equally late and irate commuters. Or, rendered immobile by an agony of indecision over which bus to board, you miss all three.
In fact it's a bit like LTE. UK consumers have been waiting months for an LTE rival to come along and wipe the smug smile off EE's face, and now it seems they will have as many as two more to choose from as of Aug. 29--although just London residents look set to be the first main beneficiaries of this embarrassment of riches.
Both O2 UK and Vodafone UK--which have an LTE network-sharing venture called CTI--said they will offer services starting on this date, and both have the same entry-level price for SIM-only contracts of £26. This is actually more than the lowest offer from EE, which offers a 12-month SIM-only deal for £21, although that plan only includes 500 MB of data.
However, differentiating their plans from EE is going to be a tough proposition for O2, Vodafone and 3 UK because of EE's rather large head start. The operator, owned by Orange and Deutsche Telekom, has had plenty of time to polish up its LTE plans and now offers shared Internet plans, speeds that are double what they were initially in some LTE markets and a wide range of smartphone and tablet tariffs, including SIM-only and contract deals with inclusive extras such as EE Film, unlimited Wi-Fi and Clone Phone.
O2 UK has so far provided little detail, other than to say that services would initially be launched in London, Leeds and Bradford on Aug. 29 and would cover up to 5 million people at launch.
Vodafone was quick to follow with its own launch announcement, and provided a lot more detail on how it plans to differentiate itself from EE. A key strategy will be the partnerships it has formed with Sky Sports and Spotify in order to offer inclusive sports or music content in 24-month plans. Will this be enough to persuade existing users to pay a £5 premium in order to gain access to LTE, or tempt users to opt for Vodafone over EE?
Ovum analyst Emeka Obiodu noted that Vodafone's announcement is "remarkable" because it has focused on the tariff and content deals rather than speed or coverage.
"In a way, this undersells Vodafone's strength given its 800 MHz spectrum holdings and the improved in-door coverage this band offers," Obiodu noted.
At the same time, he said there is a sense that Vodafone wants to avoid the 3G lesson "where it worked so hard to create the best 3G network, yet lost out as rivals, especially O2, delivered a better appealing proposition to customers."
"Ultimately, this focus on business model innovation--tariff (including doubling the data package) and the content deals--is a more assured way of convincing customers to spend the additional £5/month," he added.
3 UK is set to follow with its own LTE announcement later this year, and is expected to differentiate its plans by continuing to offer unlimited data and charging no premium for LTE. O2 UK and Vodafone have maintained data caps for their plans, with Vodafone citing up to 8 GB, while EE now offers 20 GB for £51 a month.
Whatever the outcome will be, it is encouraging to see more LTE rollouts in Europe; Vodafone has also just launched its services in the Netherlands, and is also now championing speeds of up to 150 Mbps in Germany.

The Funniest Person Ever From New Jersey Has Been Named
Lou Russo Published: November 29, 2022
Many famous celebrities call or have called New Jersey home, and many of those stars made their mark by making people laugh. So, who is the funniest person ever from New Jersey?
Photo by Ben White on Unsplash
When you spend a minute thinking about it, New Jersey may be one of the funniest states in the nation. It's amazing how many celebrities from the Garden State can make you laugh.
That's what makes it so hard to come up with the single funniest person from New Jersey, but that is exactly what the website Cracked did when they named the funniest person from every state in the nation.
Photo by Bogomil Mihaylov on Unsplash
To be honest, New Jersey is such a funny state, they were not able to name just one person as the funniest in the Garden State. They actually named two.
But before we get to that, let's take a look at some of the funny New Jersey people that didn't get chosen.
Premiere Of Netflix's "The Irishman" - Arrivals
For me, the first and most obvious name that came to mind was the legendary Joe Pesci. He has played some very serious roles, but when he decides to be funny, there are few who do it better than he does.
What about Jon Stewart? He is smart, loved, generous, and very, very funny. But he wasn't the top choice in this article either.
Lou Russo, Townsquare Media
There are other big names from the past and present that should be mentioned, like the great Jack Nicholson, Jerry Lewis, Chelsea Handler, John Travolta, Nathan Lane, and Joe Piscopo.
With names like that, is there a name that we would all agree deserves this comedy honor? The answer is yes, but it will take two names, and those names are Abbott & Costello.
These pioneers in comedy were historic and amazing, and who would argue that their names belong at the top of this list? Certainly not me.

Download Free RyujiNX 1.0.7063 – Free PC Download
There are several Nintendo Switch emulators out there, as is the case with yuzu. But what does he do RyujiNX different from the rest is that its developers have put a lot of effort into offering us not only excellent performance but also a user-friendly interface.
A Switch emulator that is still under development
This emulator for Nintendo's hybrid video console is still under development and currently allows us to emulate its games in 2D at almost constant 60 FPSWe expect this number to increase and we also hope to be able to run 3D games.
The list of compatible games suggested by its developers includes over 70 titles, such as 3D Mini Golf, Batman: The Telltale Series, Doom, Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, Sonic Mania or Super Mario Odyssey. However, not all games are available at the moment, as it depends heavily on the development of the emulator, as, as we said, we are still waiting to be able to run 3D games.
This Nintendo video console stands out for providing a gaming experience different from that provided by Sony's PlayStation or Microsoft Xbox, which focuses primarily on arcade games.

Q: QuaggaJs: Browser compatibility issue for barcode scanner I am using QuaggaJs to scan the barcode. Everything is good and smooth for desktop version of scanner. But it gets broken when coming to mobile version of website and that too mainly on iPhone.
I tested in both safari and Chrome and for different phone it behaves differently. For some phone camera gets hang and for some camera didn't start at all.
Also, the canvas size is not setting up in the parent div. camera is getting outside the DOM.
Here is what I did.
HTML

CSS
.scanner-box{width:480px;height:320px;background-color:#9a9a9a;position:relative;margin-top:10px;}
#scanner-container{position:relative;height:inherit;}

A: #scanner-container canvas{
    position: absolute;
    left : 0px;
    top: 0px;
}

this css is just like the sample form https://serratus.github.io/quaggaJS/v1.0.0-beta.1/examples/file_input/
it makes the canvas area which  draws windows  cover the camera steam area .
