In anticipation of some logistical restrictions facing the SUDEP-SM team and the municipalities, two conference call meetings were held prior to the actual commencement of the mission with the Palestinian Ministry of Local Government in conjunction with the municipal focal points to discuss the individual project technical and training needs.
Upon the initiation of the visit, the SUDEP-SM team travelled to Palestine-Tubas and Israel-Kfar Saba to view the work in progress while a consultant in Palestine-Abasan AlKabira provided a similar level of feedback on progress due to logistical issues preventing SUDEP-SM from entering the Gaza Strip. SUDEP-SM also met with the Israeli Ministry of Energy and Water Resources to discuss the progress of the Israeli municipalities and subsequently had a joint meeting with a representative of the "Union of Local Authorities in Israel" to discuss challenges in implementing municipal energy projects in Israel and how the results from the Israeli municipalities can feed into a national approach.
The visited projects comprise several activities including the installation of renewable energy, development of an online monitoring platform for measuring facility energy consumption, the introduction of a smart metering and monitoring infrastructure in addition to awareness activities.
The municipalities and their project partners expressed their gratitude for the SUDEP-South support and stressed their interest in pursuing the training programs that were offered by SUDEP-South and made additional specific training requests that serve their municipalities.
During all visits it was noted that the local authorities were invested in the implementation of their projects and the importance of ensuring that their successes are replicable at the national scale by the national authorities. SUDEP-SM signaled its intention to continue providing a high level of support with special regard towards developing the internal capabilities of the municipalities in managing their own self-funded initiatives in the future.

If you are looking for reliable tips in the field of carpet cleaning, you have just found a great free source of advice. The tips shared below cover different topics in this field. Each one of them is very practical and easy to use. Get started with reading now and come back for reference at any time.

Persian rugs would look lovely at home but they are also an excellent solution for offices. They will add some sophistication and prestige to your private working area and you can choose among a variety of designs and sizes. Though, the specialists of Carpet Cleaning Calabasas like to remind you that oriental rugs will look good only when they are maintained properly. Hence, rug cleaning is necessary!
Oriental rugs can last for many years and, in fact, accompany many generations of one family. That's the reason they are an excellent investment and why you should take care of them with frequent mold inspection and good rug cleaning on both sides. Keep them away from fire, natural light and water and air them in the open environment a couple of times a year.
Before you carry on with your routine vacuuming, our experts stationed in Calabasas suggest that you study areas on the carpet that experience a high amount of traffic. Areas where plenty of people always pass by will often have more dirt than the other areas. Once you note these areas, concentrate most of the vacuuming there.
Upholstery cleaning is important since stains will destroy their good appearance. Table chairs, for example, will get stained frequently from food especially if you have kids or friends over often. Just make sure the right detergents are used for your fabrics to avoid destroying them or discoloring them. Prefer ecofriendly products, which will not harm your health either.
Homeowners usually treat pets as part of the family and it is rightly so because dogs, cats, and other pets contribute to making the house, especially the carpets and rugs, dirty. Because their fur tends to cling on the material, not allowing your pets on the rugs can help keep them clean.
Choose a safe cleaning product which doesn't contain bleach or another damaging compound. It's important to sweep and vacuum the floor first. Rinsing will help to prevent stains left by the cleaner and slippery surfaces which can be quite dangerous.

Principles, Methods and Critical Appraisal
Dr. Scott Patten
The second edition of Epidemiology for Canadian Students introduces students to the principles and methods of epidemiology and critical appraisal, all grounded within a Canadian context. This context is crucial—epidemiologic research in Canada most often uses data from Canadian registries, Canadian special purpose cohorts, provincial health administrators, national statistical agencies and other sources that will be important to Canadian students during their careers.
Dr. Scott Patten draws on more than 20 years' experience teaching epidemiology to present core concepts in a conversational tone and a pragmatic sequence. This second edition includes updated content and examples, double the number of study questions and answers, and new figures.
Basic principles and why epidemiological reasoning matters for health professionals.
Key parameters in descriptive and analytical epidemiology.
Sources of error in epidemiology, and ways to quantify and control error.
The concept of bias, which is introduced with basic parameter estimates to make it more accessible to students.
Key study designs and their vulnerability to error.
How to use critical appraisal and causal judgement to evaluate epidemiological studies.

US election: Trump campaign acknowledges Obama was born in US
The Trump campaign has acknowledged in a statement that President Obama was born in the US.
The Republican candidate had been a leader of the "birther" movement that questioned Hawaii-born Mr Obama's citizenship.
But his campaign now accuses his Democratic rival Hillary Clinton of introducing the "smear" during the 2008 Democratic nomination contest.
There is no evidence to link Mrs Clinton to the birthers.
In reaction she tweeted that President Obama's successor "cannot and will not be the man who led the racist birther movement".
The BBC's North America Reporter Anthony Zurcher says the statement signed by senior Trump advisor Jason Miller is far from an admission of error.
Instead, he says, Mr Miller laid the genesis of the birther rumours wrongfully at the feet of Hillary Clinton and her 2008 presidential campaign team.
When they raised questions, Mr Miller said, it was "vicious and conniving" behaviour. By broaching the topic three years later, Mr Trump had done a "great service" to the public and president, Mr Miller said.
The statement follows an interview with the Washington Post newspaper in which Mr Trump had declined to say Mr Obama had been born in the US, saying instead that he did not want to answer the question.
What is the origin of the 'birther' claim?
The claim is a conspiracy theory that Mr Obama was actually born in Kenya and is therefore ineligible to be president.
Reports in various US publications suggest it was circulated in 2008 by die-hard supporters of Mrs Clinton as it became clear that she was not going to win the Democratic nomination.
However there is no evidence that Mrs Clinton or her then campaign had anything to do with it.
The claim enjoyed a revival with some supporters of Republican candidate John McCain as he fell behind Mr Obama in polls, the Fact Check website reported.
When did Mr Trump get involved?
The billionaire became a vocal questioner of Mr Obama's citizenship during the run-up to his eventual re-election in 2012.
In April 2011, Mr Trump challenged Mr Obama to show his birth certificate, gaining approval from Republicans including former Alaska governor Sarah Palin.
The 2012 Republican candidate Mitt Romney referred to the discredited theory at a campaign rally in August that year, joking that no-one had asked to see his birth certificate – drawing swift condemnation from the Obama campaign.
Why has the Trump campaign now distanced itself? – by Anthony Zurcher, BBC North America reporter
The words haven't been spoken by Donald Trump yet, but a press release from his campaign represents the closest we've come to the Republican nominee formally acknowledging that President Barack Obama was born on US soil.
Mr Trump's turn as the lead advocate of the so-called "birther" movement has been a drag on the Republican's standings among black voters. It was also the issue that rocketed the New Yorker to fame among many conservatives, however.
There's little surprise, then, that Trump team wants to settle the matter and shift the campaign back to more favourable terrain – but the candidate has yet to back down completely.

What emotion has the highest frequency?
What happens to energy as frequency increases?
Does higher frequency mean faster speed?
Gamma rays have the highest energies, the shortest wavelengths, and the highest frequencies. Radio waves, on the other hand, have the lowest energies, longest wavelengths, and lowest frequencies of any type of EM radiation.
Speed, Wavelength, and Frequency
Because all electromagnetic waves travel at the same speed through space, a wave with a shorter wavelength must have a higher frequency, and vice versa. … Its speed, like the speed of all electromagnetic waves, is 3.0 × 108 meters per second.23 мая 2019 г.
Radio waves, infrared rays, visible light, ultraviolet rays, X-rays, and gamma rays are all types of electromagnetic radiation. Radio waves have the longest wavelength, and gamma rays have the shortest wavelength.
Frequency –> Energy
The higher the frequency of light, the higher its energy. … High frequency light has short wavelengths and high energy. X-rays or gamma-rays are examples of this. Radio waves are examples of light with a long wavelength, low frequency, and low energy.
IT IS INTERESTING: Is light an example of electromagnetic radiation?
This range is known as the electromagnetic spectrum. The EM spectrum is generally divided into seven regions, in order of decreasing wavelength and increasing energy and frequency. The common designations are: radio waves, microwaves, infrared (IR), visible light, ultraviolet (UV), X-rays and gamma rays.
Though the sciences generally classify EM waves into seven basic types, all are manifestations of the same phenomenon.
Radio Waves: Instant Communication. …
Microwaves: Data and Heat. …
Infrared Waves: Invisible Heat. …
Visible Light Rays. …
Ultraviolet Waves: Energetic Light. …
X-rays: Penetrating Radiation. …
Gamma Rays: Nuclear Energy.
The latest cellular technology, 5G, will employ millimeter waves for the first time in addition to microwaves that have been in use for older cellular technologies, 2G through 4G. Given limited reach, 5G will require cell antennas every 100 to 200 meters, exposing many people to millimeter wave radiation.
For example, Enlightenment has the highest frequency of 700+ and the greatest expansion of energy. The vibrational frequency of joy is 540 and is expansive.10 мая 2017 г.
Since the energy goes up as the frequency increases, the energy is directly proportional to the frequency. … When the energy increases the wavelength decreases and vice versa. That is, energy in inversely proportional to wavelength. In short, a photon can be described by either its energy, frequency, or wavelength.
IT IS INTERESTING: How far does electromagnetic radiation travel?
Comparing two waves of the same wavelength, a higher frequency is associated with faster movement. Comparing two waves of different wavelengths, a higher frequency doesn't always indicate faster movement, although it can. Waves of different wavelengths can have the same frequency.

U's Set for Busy Week
Michael Appleton looks forward as the U's return to the UK
There's a busy week ahead for the U's as pre-season steps up another gear.
After a successful training camp in Austria, United are back in Oxford and preparing for a week that sees three matches. On Tuesday night Michael Appleton's side travel to National League side Woking before they take on Benfica's Under-21 side in a behind-closed-doors friendly on Wednesday. On Saturday United make the trip down the A34 for a friendly at Eastleigh, where a host of former United players will ensure it is a stern test for the U's.
"We know there will be three really good tests for us this week," Michael told Yellow Player, "but we are looking for everyone to get that bit sharper and for the games to be competitive ones at this stage. Woking challenged at the top of their league last season and then the next day we have the opportunity to play Benfica at St George's Park and that will be great experience for the lads. It's behind closed doors, at Benfica's request, which is a shame because I know the fans would have liked to see it but I am sure they will travel in numbers down to Eastleigh on Saturday where there is an Oxford connection with so many former players, plus of course Stewart Donald's involvement.
"All three are good games for us at this stage. We have come back from Austria with everyone fully fit, and it was good to have Max Crocombe back with us today and training with the squad. We have plenty of competition for places and the next week is a chance for everyone to show what they can do."

What's OnThings to do
whats-on, things-to-do,
It's all about the story. If you take a close look into any great song, there is always a great story both somewhere behind it and being conveyed within the lyrics. Singer/songwriter Craig Stewart should know. Known throughout the music industry as 'The Storyteller', his songs and shows bring to life the stories he has both gathered and sought out over a 20-year musical career. Neil Diamond - The Man, The Music tells the story of the man himself, from humble beginnings as the son of a shopkeeper through to being a genuine global superstar. The show features numerous interviews and behind the scenes stories of how some of Diamond's most loved songs actually came to be - all presented in Craig Stewart's distinctly intimate style. Featuring approximately 30 of Neil's most loved hits - from Cracklin' Rosie, I Am I Said and Sweet Caroline through to a special Hot August Night tribute - audience members are left in no doubt as to why Stewart is regarded in the music industry as a master craftsman. With more than 2000 shows to his credit, Stewart was described in a national music magazine as "one of the most listenable singers to emerge this century". He has performed as a feature artist at numerous festivals throughout the country and has been either a finalist or winner of multiple awards. The culmination of this experience is Neil Diamond - The Man, The Music. There is one other major aspect of the show that is really the final ingredient that has led to venues almost universally declaring "that is the best show we've had". That ingredient is the imagery.

A New Supreme Court Tax Ruling is Changing the Way E-Retailers Operate
Home → Amazon News & Updates → A New Supreme Court Tax Ruling is Changing the Way E-Retailers Operate
online sales tax
A new Supreme Court tax ruling is changing the way e-retailers operate, and it may negatively affect Amazon third-party sellers depending on what states they operate out of.
This ruling, which came into effect on June 21, questioned a South Dakota law imposed in 2016 that required any company (online or otherwise) that delivers over $100,000 worth of goods or handles over 200 in-state transactions will have to pay sales tax, regardless of where that company is located.
In supporting this law with a 5-to-4 vote, the Court gives states an individual right to collect taxes from internet sales.
While this decision does not impose the rigid thresholds that South Dakota has set, it allows states to set their own laws, which the U.S. Government Accountability Office suggested could flood the economy with anywhere between $8 and $13 billion for states nationwide.
The Council of Shopping Centers suggested that the figure may be even higher, with an estimate of $26 billion.
In making this decision, the Supreme Court overturned a previous ruling from 1992 that limited taxes on e-retail sales. Considering that online shopping over two decades ago was not anything near what it is today, state representatives and companies alike have been clamoring for a change to a seriously outdated law.
How Does This Ruling Affect Online Retailers?
Online retail has long been considered a top-notch shopping option for many due to the convenience and low prices that many online retailers can afford to sell at.
However, this ruling levels the playing field for major retail corporations that were unable to compete with their online counterparts low prices due to the sales tax they had to endure.
"Retailers have been waiting for this day for more than two decades," the National Retail Federation told CNBC.
"The retail industry is changing, and the Supreme Court has acted correctly in recognizing that it's time for outdated sales tax policies to change as well. This ruling clears the way for a fair and level playing field where all retailers compete under the same sales tax rules whether they sell merchandise online, in-store or both."
In the immediate aftermath of the ruling, stock at many e-retailers took a hit. Overstock suffered the most, falling 5.7 percent. Etsy and EBay took approximately a 2 percent tumble. Meanwhile, Amazon's stock fell just under 1 percent.
Conversely, traditional retail giants such as Target, Best Buy and Walmart all saw their stock increase by about 1 percent.
"Today's ruling will give every retailer the opportunity to compete on a level playing field without the government's thumb on the scale – that's a win for all those who believe in free markets," said general counsel Deborah White from the Retail Industry Leaders Association.
"For the consumer, this means an increasing array of options both in-store and online, with competition for their business based on price, service, selection and value – not special tax treatment."
While it seems that this would spell bad news for Amazon, the company is actually the most prepared of any major online retailer, which shows once again how Jeff Bezos continuously stays one step ahead of the competition.
Amazon has prepared itself by collecting sales tax in every state on all products that it sells directly, without third-party engagement.
Considering the company sells about half of its products directly, the court ruling is unlikely to affect price changes on any of Amazon's flagship items.
Other online retailers may be in a bit of a bind after the ruling, however, due to the lack of sales tax collection in states that they do not physically operate out of.
John Swain, a law professor at University of Arizona, told CNBC, "Amazon should be helped [by the ruling] because it is collecting sales tax in every state, while it is the Wayfairs of the world who are directly hurt."
These companies, such as Wayfair and Overstock, may suffer a great deal due to this ruling, which could cause their prices to go up and might lead to more customers flocking to Amazon should their prices remain consistent.
How Will this Online Sales Tax Ruling Affect Sellers?
While Amazon has been prepared with taxes on their direct transactions, the other half of all Amazon products are distributed by third-party sellers who may not have been paying sales tax in states they ship products to.
Considering the precedent set by South Dakota of taxing distributors regardless of where the company is located, sellers in states where there is no statewide sales tax such as Delaware, Oregon, Alaska, Montana and New Hampshire will not be able to hide behind their state's tax laws.
Since there is no standard approach set, sellers will be in wait-and-see mode regarding the new laws that states will be proposing regarding taxes on e-retailers.
In essence, it is unclear at this time exactly how heavily sellers will be affected. Depending on what they sell and what states they typically distribute to, this ruling could barely affect some sellers and be detrimental to others.
Paul Rafelson, a law professor at Pace University, suggested that the Supreme Court is "punting" on the questions regarding third-party sellers.
"Amazon can hide behind its marketplace to claim tax exemption because it's still going to pretend it's not a retailer – and not responsible for collecting sales taxes," Rafelson said.
"There's still a lot of legal questions that need to be answered. There's no commonality in the way the states do it. Congress needs to standardize this stuff because otherwise, it gets out of control."
Rafelson makes a good point that this issue could get out of control depending on what some states do. If states get too extreme in looking for more tax dollars, it could put some third-party sellers out of business or cause them to stay away from selling to customers in said states.
Some states such as Pennsylvania, Washington and Minnesota already require major online retailers to collect sales tax from their third party sellers, but other states have left this up to the sellers themselves, which creates a tricky grey area in the meantime.
While sellers may be scrambling to figure out what taxes they have to pay, Amazon offers a tax calculation service in exchange for a 2.9 percent fee on the value of the taxes. Due to this service, Amazon may end up making even more money due to these state taxes, while third-party sellers will suffer as a result.
Sellers should do their best to figure out these taxes themselves rather than being charged for convenience sake.
While questions loom about exactly what will happen with sales tax on third-party sellers, many are up in arms suggesting that Congress should set a standard approach on how to tax online sellers. With each state having their own sales tax requirements, sellers who operate in multiple states will need to be mindful of the changing laws that will occur in the near future.

Q: Where to get background sample images for haar training? I need collection of sample images (negative images, or also called background images)
for haar training using opencv. It is written that I need to have a lot of them. About 5000 or 10000. Do you know where to get them?

A: you can find it anywhere especially in google.. negative images are just images that does not contain your positive images/samples which is the object of interest.. anything that doesn't contain your object of interest can be a negative samples..

A: This site have some haar negatives from various databases. You can download by svn: svn co http://tutorial-haartraining.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/data/negatives/

Just another average day in Lotte Arai, Myoko last week.
Mountainwatch | The Grasshopper
After our foundations were rocked last season by the lowest snowfall in recorded Japanese history, order has now been restored to the ski world with Japan hauling in massive amounts of its famous 'Japow' during an exceptional early season. Models expect things will now settle down with run-of-the-mill conditions still expected to pump out a few metres or more.
Not only has snowfall been super consistent so far this season, with some resorts in northern Honshu and on Hokkaido reporting new snow on all bar one day this past month, but two massive snowstorms have dumped over 2.5m in the last fortnight. Understandably, such volumes have also caused havoc with lift and road closures, as well as a heightened avalanche risk.
There heavy snowfalls have delivered some epic power days in th mountains, but have created a few hassles in the cities and towns. A scene from last week in Joetsu, a city on the coast near Myoko.
La Nina is certainly living up to all the hype, with increased convection (rainfall) over the Maritime Continent likely influencing a southward extension of the cold Siberian High into Eastern China, which in turn promotes cyclonicity (storms) about and north of Japan. Additionally, the Arctic Oscillation has been negative for over a month, further strengthening the Siberian High and allowing frigid polar air to escape and hit Japanese mountains.
Sea-level pressure anomalies from the last 30 days showing a strong Siberian High and Aleutian Low, which in part may be driven by increased convection over the Maritime Continent due to La Nina and a negative Arctic Oscillation. Source: NOAA
In fact the Siberian High has been so strong of late that the mean sea-level pressure at Tsetsen-Uul in Mongolia rose to 1094.3hPa on Tuesday the 29thDecember, possibly the highest pressure ever recorded. Temperatures there also reached a bone-chilling -50°C.
A Cash Cow with Diminishing Returns
La Nina has likely peaked and models expect the El Nino Southern Oscillation will reach a neutral state some time during the northern hemisphere's spring. So although still profitable, we may see diminishing returns from this cash cow during the rest of the season.
Coinciding with this weakening La Nina, climate models also suggest a slow-down in favourable conditions, i.e. a weakening of northwesterly winds over Japan. Realistically, we'd be asking a bit much for the Siberian High to remain at record-breaking strength or for the Arctic Oscillation to remain negative for the rest of the season anyway.

Additionally, models continue to forecast a weak Aleutian Low in stark contrast to how strong it has been this past month, which also saw the deepest non-tropical cyclone ever observed in the North Pacific Ocean.
Despite some shortcomings in the models, the JMA think it likely that more snow will fall during January through March than average. It must be noted that JMA's outlook was issued on the 25thof December, thus encompassing the massive amount of snow that has already fallen this month, without which the remaining weeks may look a little more ordinary.
This point is emulated in the average or above temperatures JMA expect throughout Japan during the second half of January, and in February and March. Precipitation is also likely to sit in the average category during February and March along the Sea of Japan side.
JMA expect good snowfall for January – March as a whole, but after the massive storms of early January the rest of the period may look a little more ordinary. Source: JMA
Run-of-the-mill deep powder
After an exceptional start to the Japanese season, snowfall for the remainder of the season is likely to be about average. That is, roughly 3-5m is still yet to fall under run-of-the-mill Japanese conditions – hardly what I'd call average.
There are, however, enough alarm bells warning us that chances of below average snowfall are now quite high, and that above average snowfall is the less likely scenario.
Models are pointing to average or below average snowfalls in the back half of the winter – good news for those living in Joetsu
Nevertheless, the stage has already been set for many epic days ahead. Even current short-term forecasts show 10-day snow accumulations should lie within half to a whole metre thanks to good snowfalls in northern Honshu and Hokkaido today and tomorrow, and another decent snowstorm late Saturday through into early next week. I'll cover that in more detail on Thursday's forecast.
That's it from me folks. If you've got a different theory on what's going to happen this winter, or just want to provide feedback, then please hit me up on the discussion below. Or you can follow me on Facebook. Remember to check out my weekly forecasts for both Japan and North America, giving you all the highlights and snowlights of the coming week.

I use to play games with my lightgun on Ps one but how to connect that yellow jack on Pc? Btw my lightgun (for ps one) has no usb port but I can connect it via ps to usb adapter and buttons work fine.
That sort of peripheral won't work on a PC.
Do you know which type would work?
Maybe a wiimote via bluetooth, and sensor bar (IR emitter bar) can be set up as a mouse? It's been a while, but I think PCSX2 supports mouse input.

At 75/1, Un Ojo Puts His One Eye on the Rebel Stakes Prize
By Brian Robin on February 27, 2022 2 min read
Un Ojo lost his left eye in a pasture accident as a yearling, which partially explains how he got lost in the shuffle of Saturday's Grade 2 Rebel Stakes at Oaklawn Park.
Un Ojo was the longest shot on the Rebel Stakes board Saturday. But the one-eyed, 75/1 shot came home with a half-length victory in the Kentucky Derby prep. (Image: Coady Photography)
One-eyed geldings aren't usually the bettor's favorites, which explains how the son of the late Laoban went off at 75/1 – the longest shot on the Oaklawn toteboard. Yet, sharp-eyed horseplayers taking a flier on the New York-bred eyed the second largest win payoff in Oaklawn stakes history.
When Un Ojo nipped D. Wayne Lukas' Ethereal Road by a half-length, that flier sent ticketholders to the window for a $152.80 win payout on a $2 bet. Un Ojo, which translates to "an eye," paid $41.80 to place, $18.60 to show. Only Rockamundo's $218 payout in the 1993 Arkansas Derby surpassed Un Ojo's Saturday shocker.
"I've loved this horse since Day 1," assistant trainer Clay Courville said after the race. "I knew he had the talent to be this kind of horse. I always had the confidence in him. He just improved so much every single day, every single race. This is a dream come true."
Un Ojo has un spot in the Derby
Courville, who assists his father, Ricky, as Un Ojo's trainer, referred to Un Ojo effectively qualifying for the Kentucky Derby. His 50 points for the Rebel win gave him 54, putting him second on the points ladder. It also boosted his record to 2-2-0 in six starts and his earnings to $776,321.
Un Ojo picked up four points for his runner-up finish at the Grade 3 Withers Stakes at Aqueduct, where he spent most of the winter under trainer Tony Dutrow's tutelage. That followed a runner-up in the New York Stallion Series, a Black-Type class race for state breds last December.
Dutrow sent the gelding back to the Courvilles last week, flying him from New York to Memphis, then vanning him the 190 miles to Hot Springs. Sunday morning, Clay Courville sent him to the Copper Crowne Training Center in Opelousas, La., five minutes from the Evangeline Downs racetrack.
Arkansas Derby probably is next on the agenda
Ricky Courville said Un Ojo would take a break as he and owner Kevin Moody of Cypress Creek Equine LLC mapped out future race plans. Expect the Grade 1 Arkansas Derby to be the likely next target.
"Give him a couple of weeks and maybe head back up for the Arkansas Derby a week out, like we did," Ricky Courville told Oaklawn Park.
Meanwhile, runner-up Ethereal Road picked up 20 points and Barber Road 10 for his third-place finish. Pacesetter Kavod finished fourth, earning five points for his efforts.
Newgrange experiences new experience: losing
Bob Baffert's 4/5 favorite and previously unbeaten Newgrange finished a non-threatening, fading sixth, 4 ¼ lengths back.
"When the running started, he didn't have it today," Baffert said after the race. "But that happens. He didn't show up today. I really can't think of any excuses today."

Ladies winner Fiona Brian with Mens winner Broc Drury.
Thousands are expected to turn out for the popular BHGE 10k Running Festival tomorrow.
Kicking off at the Race Village on Beach Boulevard, the race route will take runners out to Waterloo Quay, before running the length of Beach Esplanade, through Bridge of Don, Pittodrie Park and finishing at King's Links golf course.
A number of traffic restrictions will be in place around the city and beach area this weekend for the event.
Last year, 4,000 runners took to the streets of the city alongside wheelchair participants and children in the 2k race.
Jill Franks is director of business development at Sport Aberdeen.
She said: "The support that the race receives each year is consistently inspiring and as always, the run-up to the event is a very exciting time for all involved.
"It's a pleasure to see the joint efforts of the community, charities and organisers pay off, come the big day.
Residents have been advised there will be parking and traffic restrictions in place on roads around the route.
Organisers are warning people to plan their journeys in advance, with a road closure in place from Links Road from the Beach Ballroom to Urquhart Road from 6am today until 6am tomorrow.
Tomorrow morning the Beach Esplanade from King Street at Bridge of Don to New Pier Road will be closed from 6am until noon. Waterloo Quay from Regent Quay to York Place will shut from 9am until 10.30am.
And Golf Road from Regent Walk to School Road will be closed, starting at 8am until 1pm and Pittodrie Street to Golf Road from 11am until 3pm.
Access to vehicles in these areas may be delayed while the race is on.
One-way restrictions will be in place on Park Road northbound from Urquhart Road to Golf Road and Golf Road northbound from Park Road to School Road.
The traffic restriction will be in place from 8am until 1pm.
Drivers have been told there will be no right turns from Linksfield Road on to Golf Road, from Seaforth Road on to Park Road and from Seaton Drive on to Seaton Road starting at 8.30am until 1pm.
A contraflow will be in place from 5.30am until 1pm from Lord Hays Road to School Road (southbound on King Street).
Those taking part in the event can meet at the Race Village and information tent, which will open at 8am, while the family activities will start at 8.30am at the Race Village.
The Wheelchair 10k Race begins at 9.25am and the 10k race at 9.30am.
This year, organisers also hope to make it one of the most environmentally friendly in Scotland.
Tomorrow's race will see a reduced number of single-use plastics in use, smaller water bottles at the water stations to reduce waste and biodegradable goody-bags with fewer plastic items inside them.
Jill said: "Every year we strive to be more environmentally friendly.
Lesley McMullan from BHGE said the organisation is "proud of the way we invent, develop and deploy technologies that are more environmentally friendly than ever before".


So, how are dining room styles changing? To be honest with you, quite beautifully! But even though styles evolve, dining rooms remain a valuable part of any home. Think about it – how else are you going to host a themed dinner? Or entertain guests with enough seating? Dining rooms can benefit a home in so many different ways. Here are a few!
Gone are the days of dull and dark dining rooms that create a feeling of dread! Nowadays, people are turning toward furniture and accessories with lighter tones to bring in a fresh and welcoming look. Lighter tones have the ability to brighten and open any space, no matter the size. So, if your dining room is feeling a bit cramped — you know what to do!
In addition to lighter tones, another great style that creates an intimate and welcoming area is the use of a round dining room table. A round table allows for better discussions and interactions for family and guests. If you're worried about finding a round table large enough for your liking, don't! There are plenty of options out there — including ours, wink, wink — so you're bound to find one that's perfect for you!
While traditional dining rooms tend to lack visual appeal, that's not the case for dining rooms in 2019. If you haven't noticed yet, texture is in! By incorporating plenty of textures, you can give your dining room more dimension and personality. Textures appeal to human senses (both visual and tactile) which will make the room interesting and attractive. There are multiple ways you can incorporate textures into your dining room, such as through the placement of dining chairs, rugs, chandeliers, lamps, or even art! Those will also give your dining room some modern-chic vibes.
Dining rooms are meant to host family and friends, so make this area a reflection of you and have some fun by creating an environment that draws people in!
Overly formal dining rooms not your thing? Luckily for you, there's a fun and new dining room trend that has taken the interior design world by storm: pub-styled dining rooms. While this style may not be a dining room in the traditional sense, its purpose is still to entertain your guests! Instead of only using the space to eat, this style allows you to also host guests for a social gathering with cocktails and appetizers — sans the big messy meal.
This style will give your dining room a chic and laid back vibe, but beware… your guests will be begging to be invited back for a night of entertainment!
Whether you're going for a traditional, chic, or laid back style, finding the right fit all comes down to the type of events you plan to host and the way you plan to use the space on a daily basis. Dining rooms are extremely valuable assets to any home since they offer a visually appealing area where friends and family can gather to create memories that'll last a lifetime.
If you're not quite sure where to begin on your hunt for different styles of dining room furniture, look no further! Brumbaugh's is proud to offer a wide selection of dining room furniture that can be integrated into a variety of styles. To browse our dining room furniture, you can visit us here.

Together they started ViewInn Productions and between them developed a number of scripts which are still arousing considerable interest. Ric's early background was in international Sales & Marketing, in which capacity he was able to travel all over the world. He was one of the founder members of a company which went public on the Alternative Investment Market (AIM) in the early days of the .com boom, and was subsequently involved in a number of similar commercial ventures. Ric came up with the basic structure of Catesby's Holy War whilst coming back on a train from Paris, the day after 9/11. He was immediately struck by the similarities between terrorist atrocities in 21st Century and those of the 17th Century. He is a graduate of Leeds University.

This archetypal bubble chart made by Dr. Jean-Paul Rodrigue shows how bubbles deflate in waves, with several of these "dead cat bounces" or "bull traps" that fool the public into buying even as the bubble continues to crash. It appears that Chinese investors developed a "return to normal" mindset for the past few weeks after the government's interventions, only to start panicking again.
From a technical perspective, the benchmark Shanghai Composite Index was unable to break above its 4,000 to 4,100 resistance zone and uptrend line. The next target to watch is the 3,400 support level that formed at the January 2015 highs. If the Shanghai Composite breaks below this level, it may fall even further to its longer-term uptrend line that started in July 2014.
The Dow Jones Shenzhen Index was unable to fully break above its 600 to 660 resistance zone, and actually touched the 660 resistance level briefly before plunging again. The next target to watch is the longer-term uptrend line that started in June 2014. If the index falls below this longer-term uptrend line, even further declines are likely.
The U.S.-traded DB China A-Shares ETF couldn't climb above its uptrend line and $45 resistance level, and promptly crashed back to its $38 support level that formed at the January 2015 high. If this ETF falls below the $38 support, it is likely to test its longer-term uptrend line that started one year ago.
The U.S.-traded iShares FTSE China 25 Index Fund (FXI) was unable to clear its $44 resistance level and has since fallen under its longer-term uptrend line, which represents another technical breakdown.
As I said in my last update, I don't expect China's debt and asset bubble-driven economy to end well, and this latest crash is even more proof that the Chinese government doesn't have everything under control. There is serious trouble brewing in China, which is one of the reasons why commodities prices are falling so hard. The eventual hard landing I expect in China will seriously harm many countries that are dependent on high commodities prices and trade with China, including Australia, Canada, and many emerging market countries.

First Thing We Do . . .
By John Derbyshire
About John Derbyshire
Is there anyone who thinks sexual harassment is a real thing? Is there anyone who doesn't know it's all a lawyers' ramp, like "racial discrimination"? You pay a girl a compliment nowadays, she runs off and gets lawyered up. Is this any way to live?
Kurt Schlichter, who works on these cases, spills the beans in America's Newspaper of Record this morning.
When you consider that, more than a decade ago, Herman Cain settled some unspecified sexual-harassment claims, you also need to consider that the only things you need to file a lawsuit are the filing fee and a printer. Facts are optional.
There has never in the history of the world been a people better mannered and less inclined to insulting acts of prejudice than today's Americans, yet we're supposed to believe that the nation is seething with "harassment" and "discrimination," women being groped in every business office and crosses burning on every lawn. For Heaven's sake. Aren't there any grown-ups around?
John Derbyshire — Mr. Derbyshire is a former contributing editor of National Review.


With the Ballistic Precision Chronograph G2 from Caldwell, a division of Battenfeld Technologies, you will never have to take a power cord or notebook to the range again.... The word "chronograph" literally means "time writer", and it wasn't long before its usefulness was understood and watchmakers scrambled to make their own, more portable and more accurate. At first, chronographs were in pocketwatch cases and did nothing more than act as stopwatches; they didn't tell the time of day at all.

Every day, job sites change. What was safe yesterday may be dangerous today. So how do companies like Skanska help their workers be more aware of unseen risks and avoid danger? Collaborating with creative VR and AR agency OutHere, Skanska implemented a Unity-based VR experience into their standard worker-safety training program for major benefits.
OutHere's mission to create unique immersive experiences comes from their deep experience and passion for creativity and technology, and they challenge themselves every day to find the magic moments where VR and AR can make a real difference in people's lives. The team's track record includes award-winning VR projects for global brands such as Volvo Cars, Reebok, Dior, OnePlus and Husqvarna.
When Skanska was considering a partner to integrate immersive VR safety scenarios into their standard day-long training program, they identified OutHere, a small, highly talented creative studio as a major contender. OutHere's principals have a substantial background in conceiving and delivering all manner of film, 3D, motion graphics and VR/AR experiences.
OutHere also has a considerable Unity skill set. Peder Sandqvist, Filippos Arvanitakis and Martin Krafft founded the company in 2017 after working together since 2013, creating award-winning VR for global brands, including doing real-time VR projects in Unity. Account director Linda Grådal, who headed up her own film production company prior to joining OutHere, had done many high-end, real-time VR/AR projects in Unity too. Their combined expertise made OutHere a natural choice for the Skanska project.
"Unity is on the bleeding edge of VR/AR, which gives us so many opportunities to realize our vision. It's really helped us as creators. It's easy to use, and simple to find new developers when we need them. With Unity we have the ultimate tool to quickly transform our ideas into unique, 'living and breathing' virtual worlds that speak directly to the heart," says Krafft.
For this project, Skanska had a very human goal: To reduce accidents and create safer construction sites. While they also employ many traditional methods of accident-awareness training, they decided VR offered a new way to reach their employees.
"We wanted to provide our workers with a new kind of training that could fundamentally change their behavior. Filling out multiple-choice webforms or listening to presentations is a good start but doesn't reach their emotions – where real behavioral change is possible. VR can do that because you can put participants 'at risk' in a simulated environment without endangering their lives. The decision for just VR was the possibility of linking behavioral science with VR technology to achieve lasting behavioral change," says Skanska's Tania Sjöberg, Project leader Step into Safety & Leadership Developer.
In 2017, OutHere worked with Skanska to design VR scenarios that would challenge workers, such as putting them in potentially risky situations and forcing them to make the correct decision that would give them a tangible reward: Avoiding a serious virtual accident or injury.
When they got the project go-ahead from Skanska, OutHere organized a workshop with their workers to get them involved in the development of the VR scenarios.
"For effective VR training, you really need the real-world perspective, so who better to learn from than people exposed to risks every day?" says OutHere's Krafft.
They brought in employees to help with prototyping and to test the work-in-progress for technical accuracy and realism, then iterated on the real-time feedback they got, which Unity made very easy for them.
Because of OutHere's wide background in film, 3D and other multimedia projects, and their five-year track record producing interactive VR scenarios, the craft of creating convincing, fully interactive virtual worlds is a foundation in everything they do.
"That's where the new art of interactive VR is an extremely powerful tool. It's not traditional, linear storytelling. It's a new way to communicate, more like 'living the story.' We start by immersing them in a believable, user-centric environment they recognize, then we expose them to risks that trigger their emotions," says Grådal.
And the virtual decisions that workers make during their VR training will have lasting real-world benefits such as fewer workplace accidents and injuries.
"If we experience things in 3D it leaves a stronger impression when it comes to learning important lessons about safety. It's the best method we have as of right now to expose someone to a risk situation without putting them in danger," concludes Max Allström, Production Manager at Skanska.
