An asymmetric design that responds both to the need for increased levels of safety and enhances the performance of the car. Precise in the dry and resolute in the wet, P Zero™ maintains remarkable consistency between its static and dynamic footprint. An active structure that responds to rolling stresses without transmitting tension through to the steering wheel, even at high speed. Compounds that react immediately, guaranteeing the same high degree of performance from cold as when the tyre is up to temperature. A new tread pattern ensuring durability and consistent performance throughout the life of the tyre.
They are quieter and steering seems more precise.
The car runs as well as the day I bought it, a modern classic !
They are problem free and are wearing well.
Over-rated compared to Kumho Ecsta. Fast wearing too.
These are the same tyres that came on the car from new and I've tried to keep them the same. The car feels much better now I've had them changed.
exellent tyres, highly recommended for x type jaguar.
Standard issue on x-type Jaguars. Great for steering, stopping and grip extremely well in all conditions (not inc. snow). Give very good fuel consumption. An excellent all rounder and perfect for the x-type.


As part of our fortnight of Instagram goodness we were sent a 10″ Kodak Pulse Digital Frame to try out, so we could showcase our favourite images from a fancy frame and not just squint at them on our teeny iPhone screens.
The Pulse looks like a regular digital photo frame, but what makes it a bit different is the way you can send photos wirelessly from a number of devices, by email or even Facebook.
You can just attach the frame to your computer and send photos across that way, but to take advantage of its super WiFi capability, just sign it into your wireless network and get sharing. You then need to set up a Kodak account and add some photos. This sounds like a bit of a pain, but it actually doesn't take very long at all and once it's done it's so simple to add or delete them afterwards.
The frame has a pretty responsive touchscreen, which lets you control how it works, which photos you see and how you see them by just pressing the large and easy to use dashboard.
How do the images look?
The frame has a 800 X 600 display and the quality of the images obviously depends on which device you've used to take them. The photos I sent over from my iPhone 4 generally looked good, but were a little grainy at times because obviously they'd been blown up a little bigger.
You can make a few changes to your images using the touchscreen, so it's easy to rotate them, change the transitions (have everything flying in from the side!) or view them as a big grid.
The Pulse has around 512 MB of internal memory, which works out at around 4,000 photos, so you don't need to worry about running out of room either.
How can you transfer them?
The Pulse is designed to allow you to share photos in a number of ways, so you can add photos to your Kodak account, send them to a dedicated email address, use a regular memory card or USB stick, or if you have a Kodak Easyshare portable camera you can share directly from the device.
You can control what's shown on the Pulse from wherever you are, so it'd be ideal as a present for a relative and you could then get lots of family members on board to send photos through as and when. However, if you give it to your grandparents, don't get drunk and send something stupid through. We guarantee you WILL regret it.
You unfortunately do have to have the Pulse plugged into the mains, which is the only main disadvantage of the product as it could look a bit messy on a mantlepiece or shelf. So that's worth bearing in mind if you're giving it to a particularly picky person.
Overall the Kodak Pulse isn't about amazing quality photos or a beautiful display, it's about quickly and easily sharing your photos instantly wherever you are, which makes it perfect for mobile photography fans and a favourite for Christmas.
Available from Kodak for £164.99.
The stuff here is pretty cool and awesome. I got the meaning clearly and need no longer time to understand it. It's really interesting.

The Bank of England launched an exciting One Bank Research Agenda in 2015. This position offers a unique opportunity to lead its delivery, develop and drive forward world-class research to support policy making, and enhance the Bank's position externally as an intellectual leader in the areas of its responsibilities.
Reporting directly to the Chief Economist, the Head of Research has responsibility for shaping and coordinating research priorities, capabilities and strategies across the Bank as a whole; for leading the Bank's central Research Hub; and for driving forward their own high-quality cutting-edge research on key topics under the One Bank Research Agenda.
You will play an integral role in pursuing the One Bank Research Agenda which spans monetary, macroprudential and microprudential policy and the interactions among them, helping the Bank to become a world leader in each of these areas. You will foster and provide leadership to a community of researchers across the Bank, while further strengthening collaborative links with centres of external expertise, including academia and other policy institutions. You will strive to further enhance the policy impact and external influence of the Bank's research, thinking imaginatively about outlets and positioning.
The Head of Research will also lead the Research Hub and deliver its secondment model, with responsibility for a multi-million pound budget. The Research Hub has a core of around 10 permanent researchers, with the Head of Research having direct line management responsibility for these individuals. But the Hub also provides an environment into which about 20 Bank staff at any one time can be temporarily seconded from across the organisation to pursue collaborative research projects on key central bank policy issues.
You must have a proven track record from previous roles of leading key strategic research or policy initiatives, delivering high-quality policy-relevant research, and managing research projects. First-rate leadership skills are also essential, along with an ability to set a vision for Bank-wide research and lead and motivate a large, diverse, multinational group of researchers – both permanent members of the Research Hub and secondees.
This role is open to job shares, flexible and part time working patterns.
Closing date for receipt of applications: 16th October 2017.

Church Wilne Water Treatment Works of Severn Trent
To attain the goal of water treatment with low carbon emissions in line with the UK's Green Recovery Scheme, Severn Trent Water is designing a new 89 Ml/d water treatment works at their Church Wilne site utilising PWNT's innovative technologies.
Once completed, the Church Wilne Water Treatment Works (WTW) will be the 7th utility in the world to implement full-scale process technologies of PWNT.
The Church Wilne site will include in-line coagulation and adsorption (ILCA®) and ceramic microfiltration by CeraMac®. Suspended ion exchange (SIX®) is also being evaluated on a pilot-scale for a future asset implementation cycle.
Source Water Challenges
The River Trent poses many water quality challenges for conventional treatment, with difficult-to-remove organics, nitrate and ammonia. The ILCA® and CeraMac® serve as core treatment units and each contributes in a different way to the finished water quality requirements for the treatment works. The SIX®, which is also under consideration for future implementation, could also contribute to achieve finished water quality goals, should further dissolved organic carbon (DOC) be required.
Overall Treatment Train
The planned treatment process is shown in Figure 1. Constructed wetlands will serve to treat for ammonia and nitrate, ILCA® is for flocculation, CeraMac® serves as the filtration barrier (reducing turbidity and removing pathogens such as cryptosporidium), Granualar Activated Carbon (GAC) is for polishing, and ultraviolet light irradiation (UV) is for primary disinfection. Final disinfection will be with chlorine. SIX® is a possible future addition to remove DOC.
Figure 1 - Proposed treatment train
About the Technologies
The SIX® process (Figure 2) is based on an advanced plug flow resin contacting reactor followed by a specially designed lamella settler. The settled resin is then completely regenerated and re-used. The continuous adsorption process operates under stable kinetics.
SIX® would be implemented as pre-treatment to coagulation, and is expected to remove up to 60 percent dissolved organic carbon (DOC) based on tests with this river water. While DOC is not regulated, it does contribute to the formation of disinfection by-products (DBPs) after the treated water is chlorinated which can be harmful to human. SIX® will lower the DOC concentration and thus also reduce the formation potential for DBPs. SIX® might also remove bromide, which would lessen the formation of brominated DBPs. SIX® with its anion exchange resin will remove nitrate.
One of the key advantages of the SIX® process is that it allows for the use of different types of resin from different manufacturers. An anion exchange resin is used for DOC removal, and pilot-testing will confirm the resin dosage that is needed to achieve the desired water quality goals.
As a process, the SIX® power use has been minimised with air mixing of the resin in the contactors and low pressure loss through the process. The single pass system which regenerates the resin on a timed basis means that a lower dose can be used because the resin adsorption sites are available all of the time (i.e., there is no bleed stream for regeneration leaving used resin in the system). Also, by keeping the resin clean, optimum adsorption is maintained.
Figure 2 – The SIX® Process
CeraMac® is a microfiltration filter system with a nominal pore size of 0.1 um. The membrane is supplied by Metawater (NGK) of Japan. This process will serve as the filtration barrier to meet finished water turbidity limits. The CeraMac® is also credited with 4.0 log Cryptosporidium, 4.0 log Giardia, and 1.0 log virus removal.
CeraMac® operates with multiple membrane elements in a single vessel. Flocculated water from the ILCA® will enter the CeraMac® system, were particulates and turbidity will be removed. The CeraMac® system will be backwashed based on a loading to the system and a chemically enhanced backwash (EBW) regime with chlorine washes and acidic peroxide washes will be used to help control fouling during operation. Clean-in-place (CIPs) will be performed with traditional CIP chemicals: chlorine and acidic peroxide.
The CeraMac® system is proven to be a sustainable filtration system for surface water plants. This is due to several features which are optimized to minimize the emissions over the life of the plant. First, the CeraMac® system is designed to match the expected life of the ceramic membrane. In practice, this is >20 years, based on the oldest membranes in operation by Metawater being nearly 25 years old and still in operation. The CeraMac® vessel and internals are also durable, and expected to be in operation over this time span. Second, the energy use of the CeraMac® is low compared to other filtration systems. With optimised pretreatment, the fouling can be minimised, thus also minimising the energy use for pumping water through the membranes. The CeraMac® uses a high pressure backwash (at up to 5 bar), and this provides a rapid and extremely effective backwash of the membranes. This translates into less downtime for backwashing and better performance recovery after backwashing (availability generally >95%). The air-spring backwash of the CeraMac® is also more energy efficient than a pumped backwash, because the air pressure is not lost during operation, and only a low energy use is needed to maintain the system air-spring. Finally, the components of the CeraMac® system are nearly 100% recyclable. There are no plastic components or unique potting materials that cannot be recycled.
Minimal Operator Attention
The Church Wilne WTW is being designed to operate with minimal operator attention.
The SIX® contactors and regeneration system are fully automated. During normal operation, adding salt to the brine system is the only non-automated action.
The ILCA® is fully automated and requires no operator intervention during normal operation; only the filling of the chemical tanks will require operator attention.
The CeraMac® system is also fully automated. Backwashes, EBWs and integrity tests (i.e., pressure decay tests) are automatically scheduled and executed. The operator will be able to manually stop/start and request wash operations, which are automatically planned by the CeraMac® logic.
The design has been developed with operability and maintainability at the forefront of all decisions.
Low Emissions Advanced Treatment
As utilities look to new sources to improve resiliency within their systems, it is quite often the case that these sources are more challenging to treat. Advanced treatment, such as with SIX® and CeraMac®, aid in the treatment of these sources, to help meet the finished water quality goals as well as provide robust and reliable treatment. The proposed processes for the Church Wilne WTW are also fully automated and will require minimal operator attention. With ceramic membranes as the filtration barrier, there is also considerably less risk associated with the breakthrough of Cryptosporidium and Giardia compared to other filtration alternatives.
Utilities are also aiming to implement low carbon treatment where possible. These SIX®, ILCA®, and CeraMac® processes were designed for ease of operation, longevity and reliability. Carbon footprint evaluations have shown that these technologies use less energy and have a long operational life – two of the main contributors to carbon emissions. The CeraMac® is also nearly 100% recyclable, an important factor when looking at the whole-life-carbon-footprint of a technology.
With these benefits, the Church Wilne WTW serves as an example of the synergy of advanced treatment and low emissions operation to treat a challenging source. Customers can expect excellent water quality, that has been produced with a lower environmental impact.

Q: How to create a subset of a data frame in R that behaves like a 'new' data frame? Disclaimer: I am a total R noob.
I have a data frame from which I want to remove rows based on a column value. For instance, in the following example, I want to remove the row that contain 'C' in col3.
> df <- data.frame(col1=c(1,2,3,4),col2=c(5,6,7,8),col3=c('A','B','C','D'))
> df
col1 col2 col3
1    1    5    A
2    2    6    B
3    3    7    C
4    4    8    D

I found out that this can be done with the subset() function.
> subdf <- subset(df,col3 != 'B')
> subdf
  col1 col2 col3
1    1    5    A
3    3    7    C
4    4    8    D

So far so good. However, I was surprise by the fact that when I plot the data from such subset (which is my ultimate goal with my real data), the 'B' value is still accounted for despite being completely absent for the created subset. This can also be observed when using the summary() function. 'B' is still there, but with a frequency of zero:
> summary(subdf$col3)
A B C D
1 0 1 1

I understand that this is for sure the expected behavior. Therefore, I would like to know if there is any way to 'unlink' the subset from the original data frame? Or is there another way to create a subset that would return a new, independent data frame?
I also tried with df[df['col3']!='B',], but it has the same behavior (which I am sure was totally predictable).

The bill was moving forward until Indian tribes in the Califonia Tribal Business Alliance, who currently hold a virtual monopoly on gambling revenue in that state, could come nowhere near to agreeing on accepting online poker in any form. California has been termed the "sleeping giant" of web poker by at least one of its gambling regulators due to possessing far and away the largest possible Internet poker player pool. And while total agreement between California's Indian tribes, racetracks and brick-and-mortar poker rooms is not needed for passage of online poker legislation, more than the current partial level of acceptance across those platforms is required to make California the third state behind Nevada and Delaware to pass favorable legislation and offer Internet poker legally.
California's budget deficit has reached near catastrophic levels, and supporters of online poker as both an incredible source of revenue as well as an enjoyable adult pastime continue to point to the virtually billions of dollars that legislated and regulated Internet poker could bring to California. Senator Rod Wright (D-Inglewood) is the author of the defeated bill that will have to wait til 2013 to see a second life, and he vows to continue the fight. What started out as a comprehensive online gambling bill has already been compromised to cover online poker only, banking on strong support from the rich poker room history in that state. And although no bill has been passed, many forward thinking groups in California have already formed partnerships with out-of-state firms with online poker experience, laying the groundwork for quick entry into that state's eventual online poker community.
It was not that long ago that PokerStars was the driving force behind a proposed bill right next door in Nevada that would create sort of a Bible of commandments and rules for web poker in the US. It even offered to give the Silver State a percentage of its global take, and legislators in Nevada agreed. However, everything was put on hold when that company's online poker operations in the US were shut down on Black Friday in April of 2011. The only reason online poker in California and any other US state is even a viable discussion is thanks to the US Department of Justice flip-flopping their stance on the Wire Act on December 23 last year, which now allows that each individual state dictate their own online poker destiny.
But now that PokerStars has stepped in as the White Knight to reimburse millions of dollars in player account money that was allegedly squandered by Full Tilt CEO Ray Bitar, they are once again poised to enter online poker at the state level and soon as legislation in any prospective state allows. And the world's premier online social gaming designer, Zynga, is headquartered in San Francisco and has been forming partnerships in advance of any legislation passage concerning online poker. Lawmakers in California have even reached out to Zynga officials for their input concerning online gaming. 2013 will be here before we know it, providing another chance for Internet poker passage, and it appears there are many viable proponents for online poker in California ready to get the conversation started as soon as the new year arrives.


The current position of the Dow Jones is similar to May 2008. In May 2008, the Dow had broken below a long-term trend line (touching in 1982, 2002 & 2003) and was retesting it. Today, the Dow is below & retesting an even longer trend line (touching in 1942).
The move from the March 2009 low has been a classic 'A-B-C' corrective wave up.
There are no lines of resistance below where we are now. We're in 'Free Fall Territory'.
Stocks & Commodities have been trading together for 10+ years. This could be bad for both.
Bullish sentiment is extended on all 6 measures used by Elliott Wave International.
Cash, T-bills & Swiss Money Market Claims are where one should be. A decent buying opportunity is probably several years away.


I've recently had a few conversations about mental resilience and wellbeing in the workplace. I've reflected on what I do when I have a difficult day or set of circumstances to deal with at work.
We all have bad days. In HR we probably have more than our fair share because at least part of what we do is helping others to deal with the bad days they are having, and some of that is bound to rub off emotionally.
Some people will deal with this better than others. In wellbeing and HR circles this is often referred to as resilience, or mental toughness.
I'm not sure it is that, but what I do think happens is that those people have found outlets for their emotion and ways of processing it. If that's resilience then OK, but to me resilience is something internal around personality, whereas I think what I'm describing is more outward facing around behaviour.
I've written a lot about my approach to personal fitness and how that has helped me in the past, and that's the kind of stuff I mean - just having some way of processing what you've been dealing with. It doesn't have to be physical activity, as long as it works.
I also think having something of a support network matters too, not just at home where one would expect to have it, but at and in the workplace amongst your peers.
Well, if you're without friends and people you can talk openly and honestly to in the workplace, you will struggle to process some of the emotion you are faced with there. Everyone, no matter what their role, needs someone to whom they can talk and have a bit of a rant or moan to now and again, someone who will keep these discussions private and who will both support and challenge.
I noticed this when I moved jobs earlier this year - all of a sudden my support network at work was gone, that I'd spent 12 years building up, and I had to start all over again. I found this very difficult, and it took 4 - 5 months before I had even the beginnings of a support network again and had that outlet. But once I did, I immediately noticed a difference in how engaged I felt and how motivated I was.
Perhaps the best example of a support network I've ever had was a fellow senior leader at my last place of work, who car shared with me for over 10 years. Spending 1.5 - 2 hours a day together in a confined space, 4/5 days a week for 10 years - you become close, you end up telling each other almost everything and you come to rely very much on that person as a source of support and guidance.
Most journeys home from work were each of us telling the other what we'd done that day and, on the occasions where we'd interacted in the workplace, discussing how those things had gone - discussing our views on other people's behaviour, our own behaviours, our view of the organisation and its direction, and almost everything to do with what was causing us to feel emotion at work. We coached each other, challenged each other, argued occasionally but always felt much better at the end of the journey. This helped me to download my emotion and get home able to focus on what was important there, without having to bore people at home with it all or being distracted by thoughts of home.
Nowadays I drive solo to work, but I still, almost a year since the car sharing ended, find myself talking out loud in the car to my no-longer-there car sharer friend and imagining his responses. I have, once or twice, been on autopilot on my commute and realised I was headed to his house to collect him, before remembering we work in different towns now.
I watch James Corden's Carpool Karaoke videos and think these are an excellent example of people going to/from work having fun and sharing emotions, and usually arriving at work in a better state.
In my own carpool, we never did karaoke - neither of us could sing at all - but we gave each other a boost by just being there. We were confidants for each other, and that's something that's hard to replace but if you can get it in the workplace, will be enormously helpful.
Until I find it again, I've still got my physical exercise regime.
What's your Carpool Karaoke? How do you deal with a set of difficult circumstances at work and process the emotion so that you're able to focus on home life when you get back?

Last July I had the privilege of doing wedding photography at Moxhull Hall, a venue I have returned to time and time again. This Victorian country house and hotel in Sutton Coldfield, just on my doorstep, is one of the most welcoming and beautiful wedding venues I've ever had the honour of photographing. Doing wedding photography at Moxhull Hall for Sam and Rebecca proved both refreshing and vibrant, the colours of summer coming to life around them.
I first joined the bride at her home, surrounded by friends and family as she opened the wedding gifts from her husband-to-be and enjoyed glasses of Friexenet, a sparkling Spanish vintage. Rebecca's bridal gown looked stunning as it hung ready on the door frame, delicate lace cascading down to meet sparkling heels, perfectly accompanied by rouge bridesmaid dresses.
I then made my way to Holy Trinity RC Church in Sutton Coldfield and joined Sam and the lads as they greeted their guests. This was of course the perfect opportunity to capture those behind the scenes selfies and personal wedding details, such as the bunches of flowers tied to the pew ends. Sam stood at the front as Rebecca arrived in a classic vintage car, soon joining the groom as she proceeded up the wedding aisle – it was a very emotional moment. As the ceremony continued, the couple smiled as they sang hymns together, happily made their vows and exchanged rings. I then snapped some lovely shots of the newlyweds signing the registry book, and the pastor joined in too! The exterior of the Church, with red brick walls, a white stone archway and beautifully carved wooden doors, provided a romantic backdrop for taking a few portraits of Sam and Rebecca. They then enjoyed a glass of celebratory champagne in the back of the classic car before making their way to the reception venue.
Having done wedding photography at Moxhull Hall before I knew where all the best locations for photographs were, but watching a couple explore the venue for the first time and see where they'd like to pose is always exciting. We first did the group photos, the luscious green lawns and manicured gardens creating the perfect contrast to the vivid colours of the wedding outfits. The grounds provide so many fantastic settings for wedding photography at Moxhull Hall: from the Victorian walkway and steps, water fountains and landscaped gardens, to woodland canopies overlooking fields of hay. Sometimes outdoor photos can be risky – especially when considering the weather! – but thankfully the afternoon was brilliantly bright with spells of intermittent sunshine. Sam & Rebecca were very relaxed throughout, and even bought their dog Max with them to join in!
The couple then joined their guests in the marquee for a classic wedding breakfast accompanied by Mariquita Merlot wine. The team at Moxhull Hall had done a stunning job with the design – chic minimalism with a natural touch. On the tables were individually labelled jars of sweets which soon led me to the gorgeous 4-tier cake adorned with an array of graceful flowers – I snapped a hilarious shot of Rebecca feeding Sam a very large piece! Afterwards came the traditional speeches, and the groom's was perhaps one of the most memorable moments of my day doing wedding photography at Moxhull Hall.
Later on the newlyweds danced under the star-like marquee lights, and everyone soon joined in, dancing the night away to a fantastic live band and having lots of fun with the photo booth props. There were quite a few sombreros out there! Thank you to Sam and Rebecca for inviting me to capture your special day. I had a wonderful time doing your wedding photography at Moxhull Hall, and I wish you both a happy future together.


Almas comes out with mariachis and complete in Mexican garb, including a lucha mask. Both men start by circling the ring and finally we see some chain wrestling to start and both men seem evenly matched. Almas has two victories on Johnny Gargano, and we see some more chain wrestling, and neither man can gain the advantage on the other.
Both men start to circle the ring again, sizing each other up, trying to figure out how to one up each other. Finally Gargano locks in an arm bar and works Almas down into an armbar on the mat. Almas gets back up and hits Gargano, with a HUGE chop, flooring Gargano. Both men work their way to the apron and Gargano knocks Almas to the ground. Gargano goes for his splash on Almas, but Almas side steps and Gargano bounces of the mat on the outside with a sick thud, right in front of his wife, Candace LaRae.
Almas sets up Gargano in the corner in the tree of woe, going for a double stomp, but thankfully Gargano moves out of the way and counters, able to hit a belly to belly, sending Almas into the corner. Both men continue back and forth, and Almas knocks Gargano momentarily, and hurries to the top rope to hit a moonsault but Gargano moves out of the way. Almas lands on his feet and hits a standing moonsault on Gargano instead, and goes for a pin, but Gargano kicks out at two!
Both men get on their feet, and Gargano hits a superkick to the face of Almas. He hurries to the apron to hit his slingshot spear, but Almas catches him in DDT position, dropping him on his knee first and then headfirst onto the mat. Almas gets on the apron but is caught by a kick by Gargano, who quickly surveys the situation and jumps over the rope and hits a DDT onto the apron. Wow.
Both men get back in the ring, and Gargano gets on the top rope to hit Almas again, but Almas is able to knock Gargano off, and Gargano is now hanging on the side of the ring, tree of woe position on the outside. Almas hurries to the top rope and delivers a crazy stomp on a hanging Gargano onto the apron.
I don't know what match is better, the last or this one, but this one is INCREDIBLE.
Almas brings Gargano back in the ring and locks Gargano's arm behind him, and hits his DDT. 1, 2…GARGANO KICKS OUT! Almas gets on the top rope but Gargano recovers and is able to hit Almas , knocking him partly down with his head near the turnbuckle, and then Gargano hits another superkick to the head of Almas against the turnbuckle. Almas is down in the middle of the ring and Gargano locks in the Gargano Escape, and Almas is writhing in pain! Almas tries to roll through but Gargano maintains the hold, and can't get out. Zelina Vega gets on the apron and distracts the referee, long enough for Almas to rake the eyes of Gargano. Almas tosses Gargano out of the ring and distracts the referee, and this time hits a hurricanrana to Gargano, sending Gargano right into the ring steps. This prompts Candace LaRae to hop the barricades and attack Vega. Both women are going at it and LaRae tosses Vega right into the barricades. Vega escapes through the crowd and LaRae gives chase.
Back in the ring, Almas tries to hit another DDT, but Gargano rolls through and locks in another Gargano Escape. Almas looks like he is about to tap but somehow gets his leg onto the bottom rope. Gargano brings Almas to the apron again, but Almas is able to take advantage and knocks Gargano down to the apron near the ring post, seated. Almas gets the opportunity to run across the apron and hit double knees to the head of Gargano against the ring post. Almas puts Gargano on the top rope, and hits his hammerlock DDT from the top rope to get the victory.
After the match, Vega comes back to the ring and celebrates with Almas before heading to the back. The crowd gives Gargano a standing ovation. Candace LaRae helps her husband to the back and the couple pose on the top of the ramp.
OUT OF NOWHERE, TOMASSAO CIAMPA COMES OUT AND HITS GARGANO WITH A CRUTCH! Ciampa nearly breaks the crutch on the back of Gargano, sending Gargano down and Candace takes care of her man. Ciampa stares on in a euphoric state, as Gargano is on the ground in pain. Ciampa, still in a knee brace, limps to the back, leaving Gargano and LaRae on the top of the ramp to end the show!


Captured at Brooks Falls, Katmai National Park, Alaska. This sub-adult brown bear spent his time fishing at the base of the falls. Adults frown on young bears getting into the best spots on top of the falls (pecking order I guess). We watched this poor guy struggle to catch a fish out of the foam for about 45 minutes. At last he landed this salmon and had the good snack he so deserved.

Structure and Stability of the 1-Dimensional Mapper
LIPIcs-SoCG-2016-25.pdf (0.6 MB)
Given a continuous function f:X->R and a cover I of its image by intervals, the Mapper is the nerve of a refinement of the pullback cover f^{-1}(I). Despite its success in applications, little is known about the structure and stability of this construction from a theoretical point of view. As a pixelized version of the Reeb graph of f, it is expected to capture a subset of its features (branches, holes), depending on how the interval cover is positioned with respect to the critical values of the function. Its stability should also depend on this positioning. We propose a theoretical framework relating the structure of the Mapper to that of the Reeb graph, making it possible to predict which features will be present and which will be absent in the Mapper given the function and the cover, and for each feature, to quantify its degree of (in-)stability. Using this framework, we can derive guarantees on the structure of the Mapper, on its stability, and on its convergence to the Reeb graph as the granularity of the cover I goes to zero.

Who's Been Reading George Fox's Journal?
By Newton Garver
I have been using the edition of George Fox's Journal edited by John L. Nickalls for years, and it was not until I needed a new reading list in connection with some university lectures that I discovered the more recent Penguin edition (1998), edited by Nigel Smith, a Reader in English at Oxford. The opening of Nigel Smith's introduction is a wonderful surprise:
In the 'Scylla and Charybdis' of his great experimental novel Ulysses (1922) James Joyce momentarily fuses the lives of the greatest English author William Shakespeare and the early Quaker George Fox: "Christfox in leather trews, hiding, a runaway in blighted treeforks from hue and cry. Knowing no vixen, walking lonely in the chase. Women he won to him, a whore of Babylon, ladies of justice, bully tapsters' wives. Fox and geese. And in New place a slack dishonoured body that once was comely, once as sweet, as fresh as cinnamon, now her leaves falling, all, bare, frighted of the narrow grave and unforgiven." Joyce's central character, Stephen Dedalus, is fascinated by Shakespeare's life, and he imagines here a Shakespeare neglecting his wife Ann Hathaway, as opposed to Fox, who, persecuted and in his famous leather breeches, won many women converts.
So we are not to keep George Fox for ourselves! Just as well, although the tribute Joyce pays to him is not one that I can fully appreciate.
I have myself been wondering what to make of the fact that Ludwig Wittgenstein admired Fox's Journal. He gave Norman Malcolm (a student and close friend, then teaching at Cornell) a copy for Christmas in 1948, having come across it first in 1912, and told Malcolm that he saw George Fox as a paradigm for what it means to be a religious person. (Others he mentioned in that category include Augustine of Hippo, Francis of Assisi, John Bunyan, and Soren Kierkegaard.) Being a student of Wittgenstein, I reread the Journalwith an eye for what Wittgenstein is likely to have noted and admired. The dozen points that I noted are hardly definitive, but they signal affinities that I find useful to ponder:
Utter reliance on what he sees clearly himself.
Utter rejection of outward authority, especially of priests and professors.
Simple (nonintellectual) recognition of mystical (spiritual) reality.
Need for Spirit and Light to see things aright.
Passionate and persistent search for purity.
Keen awareness of his own troubles, sorrows, and temptations.
Sense of evil as a lack or privation, a failure to attend to one's inward Light.
Hence lack of condemnation, combined with high moral sense.
Narration rather than argumentation or explanation.
Translation of intuitions into actions, or integration of the two.
Refusing special status, since everyone has the same inward Light as he.
Hence not sparing others the task of thinking and seeing for themselves.
We could, of course, linger long and profitably over the textual basis and significance of each of these points. But rather than do so, I wish to leap to the suggestion that the Quaker-Wittgenstein kinship is manifold, and might be presented schematically as follows:
Respect for silence, prominent in Quaker practice and at the end of the Tractatus.
Emphasis on common domains of the mind, mental features that we share rather than experience separately and individually.
Integral to the importance of silence is a priority of actions over words.
One needs to achieve or be blessed with the Light, or with perspicuity, in order to see the world aright. What is most important can only be seen or shown, it cannot be proven either scientifically or logically.
Emphasis on the present, prominent in an early letter of George Fox to his parents that "ye have no time, but this present time," and in Wittgenstein's remark to Moritz Schlick and Friedrich Waismann, core members of the Vienna Circle, that "we already have everything; in fact, it is present, so we do not have to wait for anything."
An insistence on alternatives: for Fox and Quakers alternatives to what governments find necessary; for Wittgenstein alternatives to alleged philosophical necessities, both in Tractatus, and also throughout his later philosophical work, where he often notes possible alternatives and comments that the alleged necessity is one of a number of ways in which things may proceed.
An intertwining of rationalism with mysticism: respect for science and rational argument combined with insistence on their limits and presuppositions, which require not thinking but seeing things right, either through "that Light and Spirit which was before Scripture was given forth" (Journal) or through "perspicuous representation" (Philosophical Investigations).
A similar style of thinking, eschewing theory and dogmatism on one side and theology and ecclesiastical authority on the other, while still modeling and requiring powerful discipline. Dogmatic starting points are replaced with queries, a Quaker practice and a striking feature of Wittgenstein's later work.
Embracing a role of service rather than of command and control, evident in Wittgenstein's identification of philosophy with logic or grammar rather than with theory or doctrine, and in the prominence of the service for which Quakers were awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1947 as well in the idea of servant-leadership articulated by Robert Greenleaf.
The combination of discipline with no dogma or creed or center of authority provides a model for non-hierarchical thought and social organization.
Perhaps all these bulleted points are too schematic to be of much value to others. They did, however, lead Professor Russell Goodman of University of New Mexico to make the following comment about another reader of the Journal, Ralph Waldo Emerson:
I was struck in many places by the connections between Fox and Emerson. The basic doctrine of the Divinity School Address—finding the church and ritual a dry husk of the living religious "sentiment"—seems to be just that of Fox. No wonder Emerson pays tribute to [Fox] in two of his greatest essays, "Self-Reliance" and "The Over-Soul."
I think it mattered to Wittgenstein, and perhaps also to Emerson and Joyce, that Fox was set upon by mainstream people, and beaten by them, and continued to confront them. Wittgenstein and the others were as distressed by the smugness and complacency of the people and institutions around him as many of us are today, and Wittgenstein once wrote that what made it all the worse was that there seemed no prospect of revolution in all that solidity. Part of the value for me has been the journey through which I arrived at these points. It has helped me not only to see more dimensions in George Fox, but also to see more dimensions in Ludwig Wittgenstein, and to catch a glimpse of ways in which Quakerism might have a wider role in the world, and thereby give me a firmer sense of what it means to be a Friend. It contributes a bit to fulfilling Robert Burns's advice that we learn to see ourselves as others see us.

Description/Objectives
Hello Sunday Morning (HSM) provides an online platform for individuals who wish to change their alcohol drinking behaviour, with the support of an online community of people who blog about their goals and achievements.
Research has shown that Australians believe they have a problematic drinking culture. Alcohol is directly attributed to 1 in 8 deaths of young people under 25. HSM targets a growing population of people who are looking to take a short break from drinking, but find traditional alcohol support programs unappealing.
HSM received a grant in 2012 to conduct research on the current HSM community and online platform to determine the most effective functionality and design to make it a more engaging behaviour change tool.
What outcomes were achieved?
When the project commenced, there were 6,000 "HSMers" using the online program. In their final report, HSM stated there are now around 30,000 users (and growing) – an increase of 388% since the project began. To illustrate the impact of their support, they equated this to "2 million alcohol free days, or 279,732 hangover free Sundays".
In partnership with the University of Queensland, HSM investigated how their users fit into the wider alcohol treatment space in Australia.
The main findings of the article were:
1. Hello Sunday Morning currently reaches demographic groups who are unlikely to access already established forms of treatment/support
2. Hello Sunday Morning attracts younger drinkers more than other established forms of treatment/support
3. The peer-to-peer nature of Hello Sunday Morning increases engagement of friends and family.
HSM has also undertaken research in order to define behavioural archetypes to help them better understand their users, and has tailored the online program to meet their needs.
In order to become a financially sustainable, long-term program, HSM launched a premium, subscription based version of Hello Sunday Morning. 'HSM Hero' offers subscribers the ability to upgrade their account and access additional features for a monthly fee, or one-off fee for 3 or 12 months. HSM still also offers a free service.
What worked well and why?
There was an immediate interest in HSM Hero, which indicated that users were willing to pay for an upgraded version in order to access additional functionality.
HSM has also learnt that there is a higher number of high-risk and dependent drinkers using the platform than they had anticipated. They are working with leading researchers in alcohol addiction and online behaviour change consultants to ensure that these users are accessing the support they require.
The sign up page for HSM Hero is located at https://www.hellosundaymorning.org/pages/become-a-hero.

We'll ask some follow-up questions. Her stories are one of the very few debut works -- and only a handful of collections -- to have won the Pulitzer Prize for fiction. The Namesake -- Jhumpa Lahiri PROS: Beautifully written, with vivid depictions of characters and settings that feel true and authentic. India is a huge country, and Bengal is just one part of it. (No big deal.) Her next effort, Unaccustomed Earth, a collection of short stories, netted the author several awards. Instead of thanking God he thanks Gogol, the Russian writer who had saved his life, when Patty enters the waiting room. CONS: The last third of the book drags a little and didn't sustain my attention the way the rest of the book did.

Looking for a nice looking LED Bar to put in a corner? This 1 meter long rigid aluminium LED bar from LED Montreal has a V shape for easy installation in a corner or simply project light at a 45° angle. The LED bar has 120 super bright Epistar 2835 LED chips that will allow great illumination. Since full brightness may not always be required, the 1m Rigid LED Bar comes with a light diffuser that will allow you to reproduce a neon effect. It also provides a clean finished look for all sorts of applications.
It comes with a choice of 3 types with different shapes and angle width. While type 3 is the regular shape, type 1 and 2 will allow a wider 90° beam of LED light. You can select your prefered type in the drop down menu.
The basic kit comes with a Wall Dimmer, but it can also be upgraded to get more options using the drop down menu.
Please note that the Rigid LED Bars are not self adhesive. We recommend using the Double sided 3M Acrylic tape for LED Strips to 1) secure the LED circuit to the bar by adding 3 to 4, 1 inch pieces of tape on the 1 meter circuit and snap it in place 2) install the Rigid LED Bar to the desired surface. We recommend adding double sided tape on the full length of the bar for secure installation.
Each circuit supports up to 4 Rigid LED bars; once again, the amount of desired bars can be selected in the drop down menu. The Bars can be joined together by joining each of the 2 wires located on each end, ensuring to respect polarity and properly isolating the wires with electrical tape. You can also customize the wire length between each LED Bar by using 12V DC Extensions. Our kits include everything required to operate your new LED 1m Rigid bar set up. We will even provide you with the accurate power supply for your personalized set up: 12V 2A for 1 Bar, 12V 3A for 2 Bars or 12V 6A for 3 or 4 Bars. For each 3 or 4 bar kit, we suggest using a DC Y-shape splitter to split the circuit in the middle and distribute the power as evenly as possible.

Impact of Technology on Electric Drive Fuel Consumption and Cost
Event: SAE 2012 World Congress & Exhibition
In support of the U.S Department of Energy's Vehicle Technologies Program, numerous vehicle technology combinations have been simulated using Autonomie. Argonne National Laboratory (Argonne) designed and wrote the Autonomie modeling software to serve as a single tool that could be used to meet the requirements of automotive engineering throughout the development process, from modeling to control, offering the ability to quickly compare the performance and fuel efficiency of numerous powertrain configurations.
For this study, a multitude of vehicle technology combinations were simulated for many different vehicles classes and configurations, which included conventional, power split hybrid electric vehicle (HEV), power split plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV), extended-range EV (E-REV)-capability PHEV, series fuel cell, and battery electric vehicle. In this paper, the results are examined to compare the extent to which each of these technologies reduces fuel consumption and which combination of technologies produces the best trade-off between cost and fuel consumption. The main questions are whether it is cost effective to use advanced technologies, such as PHEVs, and how far we should or could electrify vehicles to obtain fuel consumption improvements at reasonable costs. Several timeframes are considered-2010, 2015, 2020, 2030, and 2045-to track electric drive evolution through time.

Grandparents give £12 billion in financial support during Covid-19
New research from Direct Line Life Insurance reveals that in total, parents of under 18s and their children have received £12 billion in financial support from grandparents since the pandemic began in March. This equates to receiving £2,821 between March and November from the bank of Gran and Grandad.
Before Covid-19, grandparents were giving their children and grandchildren £712.80 on average in combined support every year, meaning over the last eight months alone grandparents have forked out an extra £2,108 to help the younger generations in their family.
The financial impacts of the pandemic have affected millions of families, with a quarter of Britain's parents of under 18s (4.3 million) having to ask their own parents for financial support as a direct result of Covid-19. The most common reason for this was due to parents earning a lower salary because of reduced working hours, with 1.6 million parents (38 per cent) naming this as a factor. Nearly 1.2 million parents (27 per cent) said a reduced salary due to a pay cut was a big contributor and 1.1 million (25 per cent) said being put on furlough was the reason.
The study shows that help with essential food items is the main expense grandparents have been helping out with, giving £2.2 billion (£515 per family) since March. A further £2.2 billion (£507) was given for buying children presents and £1.9 billion (£454) for additional childcare items such as school books.
Financial support given by grandparents
Reason Total financial support given by grandparents Financial support per household
Essential food items £2.2 billion £515
Presents for children £2,2 billion £507
Additional childcare essentials e.g. books, school uniform £1.9 billion £454
Non-essentials e.g. entertainment £1.9 billion £453
Essential household bills £1.9 billion £448
Essential children's items e.g. nappies £1.9 billion £446

Grandparents have offered more than just financial support this year, with 8 million parents of under 18s (47 per cent) having asked for some form of non-financial help from their own parents since the pandemic started. In terms of care, 3.3 million grandparents (20 per cent) were asked to look after their grandchildren. A further 1.7 million (10 per cent) were asked to actually move in to help care for their grandchildren and 1.3 million (seven per cent) were asked if their children and grandchildren could move in with them. Offering emotional support to their children (2.8 million or 17 per cent), emotional support to their grandchildren (2.3 million or 13 per cent) and running errands (2.2 million or 13 per cent) are also common ways grandparents have been helping out throughout the pandemic.
This festive period, parents will be looking for ways to make Christmas as normal as possible for their children. Over 3.8 million parents of under 18s (22 per cent) say they are giving up luxury items to ensure they can buy presents for their children this Christmas. However, 3.5 million (20 per cent) are worried that they won't be able to afford any presents this year, while 3.1 million (18 per cent) are planning on buying less. The bank of Gran and Grandad is also set to come into use with 2.1 million parents (12 per cent) planning on borrowing money from their parents this year to buy presents. An additional 1.8 million (11 per cent) of these parents are intending to go without essentials in order to afford their children's Christmas presents.
Chloe Couper, Business Manager at Direct Line Life Insurance, commented: "The impact of the pandemic has affected every family across the country. With people experiencing pay cuts, redundancies and being put on furlough, it is not surprising that many parents have been seeking financial help. Nevertheless, the fact that grandparents have provided a huge £12 billion in financial support to their families since March shows the true scale of the financial difficulties many parents are currently experiencing.
"This year has showed us the importance of having funds saved for unpredictable times. Many people will now be thinking about the future and how they would provide for their family if anything was to happen to them or the family members helping them emotionally and financially. While not always the easiest thing to think about, making sure you have a life insurance policy can help to provide this peace of mind."

Fake immigration agent gets 21 years in prison
PUBLISHED: October 26, 2010 at 12:00 a.m. | UPDATED: August 30, 2017 at 10:05 a.m.
An El Monte man charged with posing as an immigration agent to rob and extort money from Latino victims was sentenced to 21 years and eight months in state prison for his no contest plea Monday to 15 felony counts.
Noel Gutierrez, 33, entered the plea before Pomona Superior Court Judge Jack Hunt to charges including impersonating an officer, robbery, kidnapping, extortion and residential burglary, according to the District Attorney's Office.
Four other kidnapping counts against Gutierrez were dismissed as a result of his plea.
Gutierrez, who was charged June 8, threatened to deport the victims if they did not give him money, prosecutors said.


Almost three in four drivers spend the same amount of money on car care products as they do on making themselves look good, according to research by car cleaning brand MER and Halfords.
More than four in five male motorists take equal or better care of their cars than they do of themselves, with over half of women drivers seeming to share the same mentality.
Halfords car cleaning expert David Howells said: "Cars are an expensive investment and a highly personal statement, so whether caring for your car to preserve its value or ensure it looks its best, these findings show owners are prepared to spend the time and money on an appropriate beauty regime."
The study shows almost two-thirds of men spend more on their car's appearance than their own, while more than a quarter of women fork out more to keep their car in pristine condition.
Donna Howard, from MER 'Auto Shine Technologie', said: "People are spending an increasing amount of time in their cars and as this research shows, looking good behind the wheel is important to both men and women."

Children really "get into" getting into costume, once they get old enough to understand the concept. And a lot of parents, too, love the chance to indulge in a little fantasy, and take their spooky secret selves out for a stroll – all in a safe, family-friendly way.
This carnival of crazy characters was in full view Saturday afternoon at Mackle Park, as the annual Halloween Spooktacular returned put local residents in touch with their inner ghoul. Ahead of actual Halloween on Wednesday, and in full daylight, kids of all ages dressed as vampires, pre-teenage mutant ninja turtles, cowboys and cowgirls, skeletons, superheroes, and of course princesses.
They played games such as beanbag toss through the eyes of the jack o'lantern, had balloon animals twisted for them, made sequined skulls at the crafts tables, and watched "Jeff the Juggler" toss his balls in the air. They lined up for the Hoky Poky, the chicken dance, and the cha cha slide, then paraded in the costume contest. They smooshed whipped cream "pies" into the face of MIA Key Club volunteers including sophomore Tyler Chute, and purchased Key Club baked goods, kettle corn, or hot dogs and hamburgers from the Optimist Club's booth.
New this year, the "Haunted Hospital" showcased demented doctors performing sadistic surgery in a darkened room, with admission limited to those age 10 or older. The Parks and Recreation staff got into the action in a big way, with recreation supervisor "Madame Lola" Dial as a spectral fortune teller who had had "a little work done" on her face. She told fortunes for customers including husband Eric Dial of Marco's utilities dept., whose fortune she presumably has the ability to influence.

Supervisor of parks facilities Martha Montgomery and daughter Mary used makeup to open up gashes in their faces, with Mary seemingly unzipping her skin, and getting a little last-minute touchup from her dad.
"Pat the bunny" was a popular activity for the little ones, but some children including Jesse Alexander, 3, were less thrilled by "pat the gator," and seemed a little hesitant, even though the baby alligator's jaws were taped shut.
All in all, though, everyone seemed to be having a "frightfully" good time.

EZ-GO, the robo-vehicle for shared day-to-day urban mobility.
This new type of mobility is now an opportunity to reinvent travel time. The Augmented Editorial Experience capsule , presented by Groupe Renault on its booth, proposes a realistic immersive on-board experience combining editorial content, multi-media experience and mobility so as to reinvent travel time.
The New Renault Kadjar, with increased attractive style and comfort, is unveiled on the Renault booth. It retains the traditional features of an SUV while becoming even more statutory through a more dynamic and more modern style. Special attention has been placed on comfort, quality and ergonomics. Its cabin has been redesigned to provide even greater everyday comfort.
Brand new petrol and diesel engines which both improve fuel-efficiency and performance bring more driving pleasure. For the TCe GPF 1.3l petrol engine, the New Renault Kadjar is proposed with 2 power outputs (140 and 160 hp). This new generation engine, has been developed jointly by the Alliance in partnership with Daimler. It meets the highest quality standards of the two partners and offers a wider power range than the previous TCe engine, increased torque (in particular at low engine speeds), reduced CO2 emissions and lower consumption.
Renamed "Blue dCi" for the occasion, a new generation of diesel engines integrating the latest systems for reducing polluting emissions are launched at the show. The New Kadjar will be available with 1.5 Blue dCi 115hp and 1.7 Blue dCi 150hp engines.
With more than 110 000 units sold, ZOE is the best-selling electric vehicle in Europe. Since its launch at the end of 2012, it has become an icon of the electric vehicle market. There is no coincidence then that the name 'Iconic' has been given to the new limited series of the ZOE presented at the Paris Motor Show. This version offers exclusive grey-coloured upholstery with its new Highland Grey exterior and new 17" aluminium wheel rims. As an accessory, ZOE now offers an ingenious luggage compartment floor that is installed flush with the luggage compartment sill and frees up the loading space by storing the cables in this double bottom accessory. Lastly, the ZOE Iconic is equipped with R110 and Q90 motors offering a real-world range of 300 km.
To facilitate the daily life of electric vehicles drivers, a new service helps to create smart journeys by giving information about the whole journey time (journey + battery charging) and guide the driver to the most appropriate charging point. First on the market, this application is accessible via its smartphone. All services are now combined in a single application, MY Renault.
In response to rapid changes in customer behavior, Groupe Renault is offering new mobility services through car-sharing solutions, ride-hailing services, short-term rentals and by 2022, mobility services with autonomous robo-vehicles.
Leading the electric vehicle carsharing services in Europe with 5,000 ZOE in 8 major cities and several strong partnerships, the group has decided to gradually deploy in France a commercial offer of electric mobility for Parisians, Ile-de-France residents and visitors, through Marcel (ride-hailing service), Moov'In.Paris by Renault (free-floating), and Renault Mobility (short term rental). By the end of 2019, a fleet of 2,000 electric vehicles will be made available through these various offers in France.
