Yesterday, I made comments regarding the actions of soldiers during the Troubles. I want to apologise. I am profoundly sorry for the offence and hurt that my words have caused.
The language was wrong and even though this was not my intention, it was deeply insensitive to many of those who lost loved ones.
I know from those families that I have met personally just how raw their pain is and I completely understand why they want to see justice properly delivered.
I share that aim and that is why I launched the public consultation on addressing the legacy of the Troubles. My position and the position of this Government is clear.
We believe fundamentally in the rule of law. Where there is evidence of wrongdoing this should be pursued without fear or favour whoever the perpetrators might be.
That is a principle that underpins our approach to dealing with legacy issues and it is one from which we will not depart.
A statement released by the Northern Ireland Secretary Karen Bradley this afternoon.
It follows her comments in the House of Commons yesterday in which she said killings by the British security forces during the Troubles were "not crimes".
Posted in Misc and tagged apology, Karen Bradley at 12:29 pm on March 7, 2019 by Bodger.
"I wish to retract what I said" ?
I'm surprised there aren't protests outside British embassies.
eoin, still no shots of Bradley at the Irish embassy last night up yet.
Nah, I think we all understood the language and the statement.
I wonder how many families she met.
Those were not the kind of comments one can apologise for and then move on. She needs to resign.
Of course, the problem the Tories have is there's no one to replace her who would make less of a balls of the job. Their wholesale ignorance on NI is utterly depressing.
Not only should she resign for her comments but what she said has major consequences with regards political interference in the legal process. Next week the UK Public Prosecution Service will decide whether soldiers involved in the Bloody Sunday killings in 1972 will face prosecution. Her statements can significantly influence this decision.
what's a dog going to do but bark. what we have here is a tory talking about NI and the troubles aka something they know nothing about and don't WANT to know anything about. doesn't matter if she's NI secretary, these are the same tories who have May as their leader..
The great irony about parties like the dup being so desperate to remain park of the uk is that the british don't give a ploppy pie about Ireland north or south and would dump the north out if it suited them.
SNAP. Happened to me this morning to.
I was looking in the wardrobe wondering which shirt to wear with my navy trousers….


I'm in a redwood forest in Santa Cruz, California, taking dictation for the trees outside my cabin. They speak constantly, even if quietly, communicating above- and underground using sound, scents, signals, and vibes. They're naturally networking, connected with everything that exists, including you.
Biologists, ecologists, foresters, and naturalists increasingly argue that trees speak, and that humans can learn to hear this language.
Many people struggle with this concept because they can't perceive that trees are interconnected, argues biologist George David Haskell in his 2017 book The Songs of Trees. Connection in a network, Haskell says, necessitates communication and breeds languages; understanding that nature is a network is the first step in hearing trees talk.
For the average global citizen, living far from the forest, that probably seems abstract to the point of absurdity. Haskell points readers to the Amazon rainforest in Ecuador for practical guidance. To the Waorani people living there, nature's networked character and the idea of communication among all living things seems obvious. In fact, the relationships between trees and other lifeforms are reflected in Waorani language.
Simard grew up in the forests of British Columbia in Canada, studied forestry, and worked in the logging industry. She felt conflicted about cutting down trees, and decided to return to school to study the science of tree communication. Now, Simard teaches ecology at the University of British Columbia-Vancouver and researches "below-ground fungal networks that connect trees and facilitate underground inter-tree communication and interaction," she says.
Trees exchange chemicals with fungus, and send seeds—essentially information packets—with wind, birds, bats, and other visitors for delivery around the world. Simard specializes in the underground relationships of trees. Her research shows that below the earth are vast networks of roots working with fungi to move water, carbon, and nutrients among trees of all species. These complex, symbiotic networks mimic human neural and social networks. They even have mother trees at various centers, managing information flow, and the interconnectedness helps a slew of live things fight disease and survive together.
Simard argues that this exchange is communication, albeit in a language alien to us. And there's a lesson to be learned from how forests relate, she says. There's a lot of cooperation, rather than just competition among and between species as was previously believed.
Peter Wohlleben came to a similar realization while working his job managing an ancient birch forest in Germany. He told the Guardian he started noticing trees had complex social lives after stumbling upon an old stump still living after about 500 years, with no leaves. "Every living being needs nutrition," Wohlleben said. "The only explanation was that it was supported by the neighbor trees via the roots with a sugar solution. As a forester, I learned that trees are competitors that struggle against each other, for light, for space, and there I saw that it's just [the opposite]. Trees are very interested in keeping every member of this community alive." He believes that they, like humans, have family lives in addition to relationships with other species. The discovery led him to write a book, The Hidden Life of Trees.
By being aware of all living things' inter-reliance, Simard argues, humans can be wiser about maintaining mother trees who pass on wisdom from one tree generation to the next. She believes it could lead to a more sustainable commercial-wood industry: in a forest, a mother tree is connected to hundreds of other trees, sending excess carbon through delicate networks to seeds below ground, ensuring much greater seedling survival rates.
Seedling survival is important to human beings because we need trees. "The contributions of forests to the well-being of humankind are extraordinarily vast and far-reaching," according to the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization 2016 report on world forests.
Forests are key to combating rural poverty, ensuring food security, providing livelihoods, supplying clean air and water, maintaining biodiversity, and mitigating climate change, the FAO says. The agency reports that progress is being made toward better worldwide forest conservation but more must be done, given the importance of forests to human survival.
Most scientists—and trees—would no doubt agree that conservation is key. Haskell believes that ecologically friendly policies would naturally become a priority for people if we'd recognize that trees are masters of connection and communication, managing complex networks that include us. He calls trees "biology's philosophers," dialoguing over the ages, and offering up a quiet wisdom. We should listen, the biologist says, because they know what they're talking about.
Haskell writes, "Because they are not mobile, to thrive they must know their particular locus on the Earth far better than any wandering animal.
It would probably be a better conversation than you get on social media.

Does my kid have ADHD?: Red flags to watch out for
Your kid's teacher says your child can't focus or sit still. Could the cause be attention deficit hyperactivity disorder?
By Keith McArthur | Sep 12, 2018
Karen Ryan from Vancouver knew there was something different about her son Eddy from his first day of pre-school. He couldn't sit still when the teacher played a video during circle time. He constantly went over to sharpen his pencil, and he kept blurting things out instead of waiting his turn. He was the class clown.
When Eddy was seven, his grade two teacher told his mom that his behaviours were getting in the way of his learning and affecting his classmates. She recommended he be assessed for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). A psychiatrist confirmed the diagnosis a few months later, after meeting with Eddy and reviewing questionnaires filled out by his parents and teachers.
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder is one of the most common mental disorders in children, estimated to affect between five and 12 percent of kids. But for parents of children with ADHD, getting a diagnosis can feel isolating and confusing.
Is it ADHD?
Vanessa Armstrong, a mother of five from London, Ont., noticed differences in her son Aiden as soon as he could walk. "We would joke that he was our runner, because he'd get an idea in his head and off he'd go, without hesitating," she says.
Today's Parent launches ADHD book for Canadian parentsAiden's teachers remarked upon his impulsive nature, and by grade one, Aiden was struggling to keep up with his classmates. Vanessa didn't think it could be ADHD, because Aiden wasn't overly inattentive or hyperactive—just impulsive. So when a psychologist thought he had ADHD, Vanessa wanted a second opinion. A psychiatrist confirmed the diagnosis.
As with other mental disorders, including schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and Tourette's syndrome, there's no clinical test that can confirm a child has ADHD. Instead, a diagnosis is made when a child shows a pattern of specific symptoms.
Doctors will try to rule out other conditions that could have similar symptoms, including dyslexia, dissociative disorder and personality disorder, before giving an ADHD diagnosis. However, sometimes kids have more than one condition. One study found that as many as two-thirds of kids with ADHD will have a co-morbid condition in their lifetimes, such as anxiety disorder or depression.
An ADHD diagnosis can happen at any age, though doctors usually hold off on prescribing medications until a child turns six. Sometimes, doctors can diagnose a kid as young as three; typically, they'll want to see a younger child progress for a year or two before drawing any conclusions. A physician makes the diagnosis based on their observations and by learning about behaviour that has been noted by parents and teachers. "Having a diagnosis helps those involved with Aiden to know how to better direct and reach him," Vanessa says.
There are three different types of ADHD diagnoses, based on which set of symptoms is present. A child can have:
ADHD presenting as inattention;
ADHD presenting as hyperactivity and impulsivity; or
a combined presentation of the first two ADHD subtypes.
DSM-5 criteria checklist
Doctors in Canada use Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) guidelines for diagnosing ADHD.
While the criteria are slightly different for adults, children are diagnosed with inattentive ADHD when they have at least six of these nine symptoms for at least six months.
Having difficulty sustaining attention during tasks or activities
Failing to give close attention to detail or making mistakes
Seeming not to listen when spoken to
Not following through on instructions and failing to finish schoolwork
Having difficulty organizing tasks and activities
Avoiding, disliking or being reluctant to engage in tasks that require sustained mental effort
Losing materials necessary for tasks or activities
Being easily distracted by external stimuli
Being forgetful in daily activities
Children are diagnosed with hyperactive and impulsive ADHD when they have at least six of these nine symptoms.
Squirming in their seat, fidgeting or tapping hands and feet
Leaving their chair when sitting is expected, like at the dinner table or at school
Running and climbing in inappropriate situations
Being "on the go," as if "driven by a motor"
Talking excessively
Blurting out answers before a question has been completed
Having difficulty waiting their turn
Interrupting or intruding on others
Often being unable to play or engage in leisure activities quietly
Children are diagnosed with combined ADHD when they have at least six symptoms from a mix of both categories.
How ADHD presents differently in boys and girls
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder affects both girls and boys, though the typical presentations vary. Girls with ADHD are more likely to have challenges focusing, while boys are more likely to be restless and impulsive.
This may account for why ADHD is diagnosed about three times more often in boys. After all, the grade two teacher who is very concerned about a restless boy may be less likely to complain about the girl who sits nicely but can't pay attention.
"The highly inattentive, unfocused little girl is, from a public health perspective, just as much of a concern as the disruptive little boy," says Russell Schachar, a psychiatrist at Toronto's Hospital for Sick Children.

Counting crowds / Using aerial photography to estimate the size of Sunday's peace march in S.F.
News // Politics
METHODB-C-16FEB03-MT-DB Aerial photographer Erik Sanders of Air Flight Service Co., adjusts camera positioning through a scope which looks down (giving him the camera's line of sight), on the Leica RC-30 aerial mapping camera during flight to photograph the peace march occuring in San Francisco. Chronicle Photo by Darryl BushDarryl Bush
From above, the world looks different from the way it appears at street level, as aerial photos of last Sunday's S.F. anti-war march show.
Click to View Full Size
The anti-war demonstration began with an 11 a.m. rally at Justin Herman Plaza at the Embarcadero in San Francisco. At around noon, the march began up Market Street toward the Civic Center Plaza. The march route was approximately 1.75 miles. In the photos on these pages, taken at 1:45 p.m. of the entire length of the march, the crowd had moved far up Market Street. The Embarcadero area is nearly empty. The march was densest near the Powell Street cable car turn-around. The front of the main march had reached McAllister Street, as another mass of protesters was gathering in the Civic Center Plaza area. That day,
San Francisco police and march organizers estimated the total crowd at 200, 000; organizers said the crowd was largest between 1:30 and 2 p.m. The Chronicle's estimate is 65,000 at the moment the photos were made. This figure does not account for marchers who left the group before that time or who joined the rally later.
The aerial photographs of Sunday's anti-war march were taken at a time believed by organizers to be close to the peak of the march. The plane made a pass over the length of Market Street and the Civic Center area, taking contiguous photographs.
The lens in the camera looked directly down from 2,000 feet. This process was repeated once to ensure that there would be a complete set of usable photos. An additional pass was made to allow a Chronicle staff photographer to shoot out the window of the plane.
Air Flight Service, a company that specializes in high-resolution aerial photography, produced 9-by-9-inch black and white negatives, which were enlarged into prints with enough clarity to define individuals on the street.
Air Flight Service, under contract to The Chronicle, then applied a grid pattern to the prints to provide units in which the marchers could be counted. The entire length of the 1.75-mile route is visible in the images.
Because the density of the crowd varied over the route, the grids were sorted into five categories - 100 percent, 75 percent, 50 percent, 25 percent and 10 percent filled with people. This was done by visual estimates. Each of the nearly 300 grids was given a colored dot representing these percentages.
At this point, the hand counting began. A representative sample of grids for each density was selected. For instance, eight 50 percent grids were counted, eight 25 percent grids were counted and so forth. The totals for each group were examined to ensure there were not extreme deviations. This tested the original visual estimate that had assigned grids to density groups. If necessary, a sample grid's category was changed to reflect the count.
An average number of people for each density grid was established using the sample groups. Air Flight Service then tallied the grids to come up with a total of nearly 65,000 people visible from the air at the moment the photographs were shot. The company said the margin of error is 10 percent.
Chronicle staff members double-checked the calculations counting multiple grids, confirming that the density assignments were correct. The Chronicle then counted individuals in a sampling of the grids. The newspaper's count in some cases was higher, in some cases lower than Air Flight Service's count. But overall the newspaper's total confirmed the Air Flight Service count.

already working hard to actualize their dreams.
For now, only six political parties are in the governorship race, while others are still gearing up.
Major parties in contention are the People's Democratic Party (PDP), the All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA), the All Progressive Congress (APC), People's Redemption Party (PRP), the Progressive People's Alliance (PPA) and the United Progressive Party (UPP).
Governor Willie Obiano is expected to emerge as the APGA candidate, a chieftain, Dr Elo Aforka, has also indicated that he will also contest.
The PPA has Mr. Godwin Ezeemo as its candidate without any primary. Dr Stephen Obiorah Mbah is expected to emerge as the PRP candidate. The APC has eight aspirants. The PDP has four. APC aspirants are the National Auditor, Chief George Moghalu, Dr Obinna Uzor, Hon Tony Nwoye, Sir Paul Chukwuma, National Youth leader of the party. Others are Barth Nwibe, an engineer, Chief Johnbosco Onunkwo, Senator Andy Uba and Dr Chike Obidigbo.
In the (PDP), Chief Osita Chidoka has indicated interest. Also in the race are Dr Alex Obiogbolu, Mr. Oseloka Obaze and Zeribe Ezeanuna.
The APC has assembled some political eggheads in the Southeast into a committee to deliver Anambra to the party on November 18. The Anambra State Gubernatorial Election Planning and Strategy Committee of the APC is chaired by Senator Jim Nwobodo, the first civilian governor of old Anambra State. Other members are the former governor of Abia State, Chief Orji Uzor Kalu, vice chairman, Senator Emma Agboti, secretary, Senator Ifeanyi Ararume, Senator Nkechi Wogu, Chief Madugba Cosmas and Chief Gbazueagu Nweke Gbazueagu.
Apart from APGA, PPA and APC, no other party has begun full preparations for the election.
In no particular order, below are the top contenders for the governorship position later this year.
He is the incumbent governor of the state and will most likely pull the weight of incumbency. He is from APGA, and may likely not have anyone contending for the ticket of his party, just like Ezeemo. The biggest argument of his supporters have always remained that he has a right to complete the 8-year term of his zone, Anambra North senatorial zone.
The task ahead of him is a daunting one, as he has the task of wading off all other contenders to the seat.
He has been governor of Anambra State, even though it was just for 17 days only. Since the court sacked him from the position to make way for Obi to complete his tenure, and also stopped him from assuming power on the expiration of Obi's first term as a governor-in-waiting, ruling that a fresh election was necessary to give Obi the chance to seek re-election, he has never hidden his quest to return to the seat he left about 10 years ago.
He recently defected from the PDP to APC. He is regarded as a very experienced politician, also very connected, and to cap it up, he is rich.
Uba hails from Uga in Aguata Local Government Area of Anambra State.
Another APC member, Chike Obidigbo joined the party from the APGA. An industrialist, chairman of Hardis and Dromedas – a company that deals in cosmetics and other household products – he contested for APGA's governorship election in 2013 but could not sail through.
He accused the party of sabotaging him, after raising his hope, following the endorsement of his candidacy by the entire Anambra North traditional rulers, where Obi had insisted that the next governor must come from.
In a recent briefing with journalists, Obidigbo noted that though he is new, and going by APC's usual insistence on handing tickets only to old members, if the party wants someone who can win them the position, then they should consider him for the ticket.
He is a notable grassroots politician, who has impacted the people through his philanthropy. He has investments in the media, oil sector, haulage, tourism and many others. He is considered a rich man by every standard, and also known for his consistency.
Ezeemo is believed to be a man of ideas. He is one politician who believes that things must be done right in the state if it must regain its glory.
Ezeemo contested the ticket of the ACN in the 2013 governorship election against Dr. Chris Ngige, who then was seen as the alter ego of the party in the state but unfortunately lost the ticket to Ngige.
Reports however have it that he was offered a place in APGA as the deputy governorship candidate to Obiano, to which he rejected saying, 'being a deputy governor is like being a spare tyre, and if I take it, I would not be able to impact the state as I truly want to'.
He then moved to the less known Progressive Peoples Alliance (PPA), and has since been the major financier of the party, and its leader too. He is one of the aspirants who are automatic candidates of their parties.
A member of the House of Representatives, who rose through student union activism to become a party chairman, and a heavy weight politician in Anambra State.
He had also run for the governorship in 2013 on the platform of PDP and missed it by whiskers. His loss was occasioned by the factionalisation in the party then, leading to multiple candidatures.
He hails from Nsugbe, in Anambra East Local Government Area of Anambra State, a stone throw from Governor Obiano's home town.
The only obstacle to Nwoye's ambition is that he defected from the PDP to the APC and He is not a foundation member of the party.
His major strength is his closeness to the grassroots and his philanthropist activities.
It is important to note that One of his major supporters is Prince Arthur Eze, an oil magnet.
He is a staunch party man, who will not easily jump ship just to contest election. That is how George Muoghalu is described in most quarters. He was a foundation member of the APP, and also remained in the party when it transformed to ANPP. He joined his colleagues in the party to make negotiations that saw to the emergence of the APC. He is trusted to be APC in blood and flesh, and said to be favoured for the ticket of the APC being the oldest member of the party among those gunning for the seat.
eventually favoured with the party's ticket.
A well-known diplomat, full of ideas, and coupled with a charismatic and dynamic personality, Obaze's type, in more refined societies like the former central Bank governor, Prof Chukwuma Soludo should be invited to come home and contribute their ideas to bettering the society, but not in Nigeria where less qualified people get nominations over more qualified pones.
Obaze was invited back home to serve as the secretary to the state government by Obi, and he did not disappoint. He is seen as a man who would transform the state with his ideas if given the chance, but the odds against him are a legion.
He does not seem to have the kind of money required for the contest, and is not known to have any visible godfather to back him up in that aspect too. Besides these, Obaze will be running for the election on the platform of an unpopular political party, UPP, founded by Chief Chekwas Okorie.
He has launched an extensive campaign seeking to dislodge the incumbent governor, so as to complete the remaining four years of the Anambra North people, where he comes from. It is still doubtful how he will bring that to reality.
A veteran governorship election contender in Anambra State, Obiogbolu is also a thorough bred gentleman and medical doctor full of ideas. He is a smooth talker and very eloquent in speech delivery. One can always tell that Obiogbolu will contest any governorship election in the state, even without him announcing his ambition, because he usually contests.
A staunch and unwavering PDP stalwart, Obiogbolu has come near to clinching the seat in previous elections, but the factionalisation in the party has always taken the ticket taken from him. In all his attempts to seize government, Obiogbolu has always presented a clear and workable manifesto as to how the state could be transformed, but the trouble has always been how he can win the election. Like a few others in the race, He would have to seek the help of a godfather with loads of cash if he intends to win the election.
A multi-millionaire business man, Barth Nwibe was a financier of the ACN, before it joined other parties to metamorphose into APC. He is a staunch party man and will be contesting for the ticket of the APC for the election. He is not so much of an experienced politician, but has had a shot at the Anambra South senatorial race before now.
He is reputed to be the 'second in rank' in terms of popularity to Ngige, among all the old ACN members. How he fares in the contest for the APC ticket among the big wig politicians that have flooded the party will determine what he will be able to do in the main election. Nwibe is from Aguata area, which falls in Anambra South senatorial zone.
A lawyer, entrepreneur, businessman and philanthropist, Uzor is from Ihiala, Anambra South zone of the state. He may likely be the choice of the Catholic Church for the governorship position, that is, after Obiano who is also favoured by the church. He is a staunch Catholic who has favoured the church with his wealth, executing projects for them. He is also said to be the favourite aspirant of Ngige, who remains the leader of the party in the state, besides Muoghalu.
Uzor is rich and popular. He has also endeared himself to the people of the state, and known to be a grassroots politician too. He has had more than a shot at the government house, but has never been lucky.
Rich, young, smart and popular former minister of aviation is also interested in the governorship seat. He is a core PDP man, and had recently declared that all those exiting the party to the APC were doing so to secure federal might to run for the election. He declared further that he would remain in PDP, saying Anambra is a PDP state, but was only lost to APGA because of a certain oracle (Peter Obi). But "now that the oracle is in PDP, APGA has lost its power, so Anambra will return to PDP." Those who know him say he is seriously working and making consultations too on how to achieve his aim in the forthcoming election.

Buffalo Creek Retreat Bridge
Hubbard Valley Park Bridge
Primary Photographer(s): Nathan Holth and Rick McOmber
Bridge Documented: August 24, 2019 and September 6, 2021
Pedestrian Walkway Over Hubbard Creek
Rural: Medina County, Ohio: United States
Metal 14 Panel Rivet-Connected Baltimore Through Truss, Fixed
151.0 Feet (46 Meters)
24 Feet (7.32 Meters)
1 Main Span(s)
52XXXX1
This heavy duty through truss was moved and preserved here ca. 2004 and is a rare example of a highway Baltimore truss in Ohio. The previous location was on OH-269 over railroad in Erie County (41.49833, -82.83333). In its current location the bridge has supplemental bents added under the truss.
Information and Findings From Ohio's Historic Bridge Inventory
Setting/Context
The bridge carries a pathway over a stream in a park setting at the Hubbard Valley Park (Cross Creek Retreat).
The 1 span, 151'-long, Baltimore thru truss bridge is traditionally composed of built-up compression members.
Relocated and rehabilitated for bike trail use ca. 2004. Original location was SR 269 over Conrail in Danbury in Erie County (2204177). Removed in 1993 and in storage in Erie County until relocated to Medina, ca. 2004.
Summary of Significance
The 1927 thru truss was determined eligible in 1990. It remained in storage for nearly a decade before being relocated and rehabilitated for use in a park in Medina County. Although relocated, the bridge has retained the original character defining features of the Baltimore truss pattern, with its subdivided panels. It is a technologically late example of a type/design that was developed in the 1870s, but it is a rare type in the state highway context, with only three examples identified dating from 1923 to 1930 (Phase 1A, 2008).
The Baltimore truss, specifically, was designed by engineers of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad in 1871. The truss was adapted for highway use as early as the 1880s, often for spans of modest lengths. When steel replaced wrought iron and rigid, riveted connections replaced pins in the early decades of the twentieth century, the Baltimore truss was used for longer span highway bridges until the 1920s. The Baltimore truss is basically a parallel chord Pratt with sub-divided panels in which each diagonal is braced at its middle with sub-diagonals and vertical sub-struts. The logic leading to subdivided panels stems from the need to maintain an economic spacing of floor beams in longer span bridges. As the distance between chords increases, so does the width of panels. In order to maintain optimum slope of diagonals (45 � 60 degrees) and, an economic spacing of floor beams, the panels were subdivided at intermediate points between the main vertical members. The Baltimore truss is significant for its association with the railroad. Highway bridges built using the Baltimore truss are not amongst the more common bridge types and are considered significant if they retain their character-defining features. Such features include the elements that comprise its form�basically it is Pratt with parallel top and bottom chords, but with generally wide, subdivided panels in which each diagonal is braced at its middle with sub-diagonals and sub-struts. The end posts are inclined. Character defining features include its parallel top and bottom chords, verticals and diagonals (including substruts or sub-ties), floor beams, stringers, struts, form of connection, and portal features (e.g., struts, bracing). [From: A Context for Common Historic Bridge Types by Parsons Brinckerhoff, October 2005]
The bridge is one of three extant highway examples of the design that is also well represented for railroad bridges. It is of moderate significance.
Bridge Considered Historic By Survey: Yes

Q: Calling a function in children in react? I have an app with multiple Views. Each View has some number of mapped child Entities. Each of those entities has a state for whether or not it's collapsed/hidden called: this.state.show. Each Entity has a button that toggles the show state. That all works fine.
What I'd like to do is add a button up on the View that shows or hides all Entities at the same time. I thought this would be simple, but there are several complicating factors:

*

*I will eventually have multiple Views in the app each displaying the same data in different ways, so storing show in the lifted up prop isn't much of an option. I also don't want to store UI state in the file data, because that rubs me the wrong way.

*It makes it easier for me to understand what's happening when the state is stored directly on the Entity as a state rather than a prop of the View

*The React documentation (and everyone online) say that you shouldn't base state on props that change, and the number of Entities will change frequently. This is why I don't want to store the state of the children in the parent, because if I do and the entities change, then I have to somehow translate that change in props to a change in state, which is strongly cautioned against.

*If I were to use events, those events could spill over from one View to another.

What's the right strategy to pursue here? Am I not thinking "react" enough?

A: Your state should only be in the parent component, not any child components. You would then pass your functions and state as props to the children.

A: Below is an example of storing state in a higher order component.
If you look at the code there is just one place where state is stored, and that's in the View,  This is known as single source of truth, and it makes coding in React much simpler.
For example if you click the all checkbox, all will check.  And if you individually check each one, the all and none will also keep in sync.
You can of course alter this to suite you needs, I've used checkbox here as it's easy to see the state changes working.
For larger applications the single source of truth method becomes even more important, and storing state inside React is best avoided.  This is what Redux is known for, like I mentioned in comments Redux is not something I use personally, but rolled my own single source of truth state management using proxy's, if I get time I might create an NPM module using this, as I'm sure other users would find it useful.
ps,. I've used React Hooks in the example as I believe it's the future of React, but it would be trivial to alter to use classes..

const {useState, cloneElement} = React;

function MultiCheck(props) {
  const {checkallto, list, setList} = props;
  const checked = !list.some(f => f !== checkallto);
  return

    <input
      onClick={() => {
        setList(new Array(list.length).fill(checkallto));
      }}
      onChange={() => {}}
      checked={checked}
      type="checkbox"/>
    {props.children}

;
}

function View(props) {
  const [list, setList] = useState(new Array(props.children.length).fill(false));

  function setEntityChecked(ix) {
    return (check) => {
      const newlist = [...list];
      newlist[ix] = check;
      setList(newlist);
    };
  }

  const children = props.children.map((
    f, ix) => cloneElement(f, {key:ix, checked: list[ix],
      setChecked: setEntityChecked(ix)}));
  return

    <MultiCheck checkallto={true} list={list} setList={setList}>
      All
    </MultiCheck>
    <MultiCheck checkallto={false} list={list} setList={setList}>
      None
    </MultiCheck>

    {children}

;
}

function Entity(props) {
  const {checked, setChecked} = props;
  return
<input
    checked={checked}
    onChange={()=>{}}
    onClick={() => setChecked(!checked)}
    type="checkbox"/>{props.children}
;
}

Census suggests counting LGBT, then "corrects," deletes
WASHINGTON — The U.S. Census Bureau said Wednesday that it mistakenly proposed counting LGBTQ Americans and has since "corrected" the proposal to remove the gender and sexuality category. Gay rights groups quickly declared that it was another sign that President Donald Trump was reneging on a campaign promise to protect them.
The statement came a day after the agency sent Congress its proposals for the subjects to ask Americans about categorizing themselves in the 2020 Census and an annual survey.
The proposal "inadvertently listed sexual orientation and gender identity as a proposed topic in the appendix," the agency said in a statement. "This topic is not being proposed to Congress for the 2020 Census or American Community Survey. The report has been corrected."
Copies of the appendix reviewed by The Associated Press show the bureau proposing a subject called "sexual orientation and gender identity." The subject did not appear in a subsequent copy. Subjects are more general than questions, which will be submitted to Congress next year.
Gay rights groups said that suggests the subject was to be included at one point in the long process, and was later rejected. The Census Bureau would not comment on that question early Wednesday.
The Human Rights Campaign said it had submitted a Freedom of Information Act request for all communications related to the proposal. Gay rights groups said not including the sexual orientation and gender identity subject in the Census and the American Community Survey would deny some government services to LGBT Americans.
"They can't address what they can't see. They're making it so there's no information to understand the needs of the LGBT community," said Laura Durso, vice president of the LGBT Research and Communications Project at the Center for American Progress, a nonprofit liberal advocacy group.
The bureau counts Americans according to race, gender and other characteristics that help lawmakers decide how to dole out taxpayer money for government services. The Census taken every decade has collected data on same-sex couples since 1990, according to its website. But activists say that method provides inaccurate numbers.
"If the government doesn't know how many LGBTQ people live in a community, how can it do its job to ensure we're getting fair and adequate access to the rights, protections and services we need?" said Meghan Maury, Criminal and Economic Justice Project Director, National LGBTQ Task Force.
Last week, President Trump's administration quietly deleted questions on sexuality from two government surveys.
A draft of this year's National Survey of Older Americans Act Participants, released this month, removes a single query asking whether a respondent is gay, lesbian, bisexual or heterosexual from a battery of demographic questions. On a second HHS-sponsored survey, the Annual Program Performance Report for Centers for Independent Living, revised draft posted four days after Trump's inauguration included a question on sexual orientation. But the deletion of the sexuality question was the only apparent notable change in an edited version.
President Trump's administration also has cancelled an Obama administration directive that students should use the bathroom that matches their gender identity.

Stars and Dreams
Hi, Giselle!
Today I thought I would write to you about songs performed by a favorite musician/singer of mine. Her name is Enya Brennan (Eithne Ni Bhraonain in Irish Gaelic); she writes and performs New Age music. She sings all her songs and performs the music, too.
One of the interesting things about her songs is that not all of them are in English. Most of them are, but some are entirely written and performed in Latin or Irish Gaelic. Several others mix Latin or Gaelic with English; at least one may have a few French lyrics in it. As far as I know, Enya has only performed one song in Spanish, "La Sonadora," but it is not listed on her website.
Oh, yes, she has a website. If you go to www.enya.com and click on the section titled "Videos" at the top, you can see some of the videos she has filmed to go with her songs. Or you could click on the links here in my list of favorites:
"Only If" http://www.enya.com/videos.php?vid=j
"Book of Days" http://www.enya.com/videos.php?vid=c
"Anywhere Is" http://www.enya.com/videos.php?vid=b
"Storms in Africa" http://www.enya.com/videos.php?vid=n
"Caribbean Blue" http://www.enya.com/videos.php?vid=d
"Wild Child" http://www.enya.com/videos.php?vid=p
"Orinoco Flow" http://www.enya.com/videos.php?vid=m
"On My Way Home" http://www.enya.com/videos.php?vid=l
"Trains and Winter Rains" http://www.enya.com/videos.php?vid=tawr
"Only Time" http://www.enya.com/videos.php?vid=k
My absolute favorite music video is "May It Be" (http://www.enya.com/videos.php?vid=i). It was written and performed specifically for the movie The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring. Enya wrote and performed a second song for that particular movie as well; it was called Aniron and was an expression of Arwen Evenstar and Aragorn's love for each other. Aniron is written and performed in the fictional Elven language Sindarin, but the song was never released with the film. "May It Be," however, plays almost as soon as the credits roll at the end of The Fellowship. It is primarily sung in English but has a few lines in the fictional High-Elven – or Elven 'Latin' – tongue, Quenya.
The video for this song includes footage from The Fellowship, which is the main reason that I enjoy it so much. I am a BIG fan of The Lord of the Rings and Tolkien's other work, The Hobbit. If you have looked at my quote pages, you have probably figured that out.
Why do I enjoy the other songs? Well, to start in completely the wrong order from my list above, I heard "Storms in Africa" and "Orinoco Flow" long before I even knew that Enya had her own website. So these two songs are part of my youth. The two are contained in the same album, Watermark, the recording that seems to have launched Enya to international stardom in the 1990s. This is the album where I first heard them.
The refrain for "Storms in Africa" is "How far to go…./I cannot say…/How many more…/Will journey this way?" The song is wistful; if you listen to Enya's songs when you are exhausted, they will put you out like a light. "Storms in Africa" features Enya's extensive vocal range in the middle of the song; a haunting melody that seems to beckon the listener into another, twilit world.
I must confess that the title also makes me think of the X-Man Storm, a favorite character of mine for many years. So this is another reason I enjoy "Storms in Africa."
In contrast to "Storms," "Orinoco Flow" is far more bouncy and lively. It reminds me, now that I think of it, of a sailor's shanty. The refrain "Sail away, sail away, sail away…" adds to this new idea. "Orinoco Flow" is much softer – of course – than an actual sea shanty would be, but the tune carries the same rhythm of a ship tossed on the vivacious waves of the open ocean. This may be why the video occasionally shows a wooden sailing ship under sail behind Enya during the video's run.
Personally, this is one of the few videos of Enya's songs that I dislike. I do not like the sharp, choppy switches between pictures in the film. The song, however, is well worth hearing and I listen to it when I can.
"Only If" and "Caribbean Blue" are favorites of mine because of the childhood settings in the videos. In the video for "Only If," Enya appears to help a frustrated inventor who cannot get his paper airplane to fly, a man trying to fly via a large handful of pink balloons, and a girl who cannot get her kite in the air.
This video portrays Enya as a muse, I think: the inspiration these three people need to keep working on their dreams until they achieve them. As the refrain goes, "If you really want to you can hear me say/ only if you want to will you find a way./ If you really want to you can seize the day,/ only if you want to will you fly away…"
Only If – see? They can Only achieve their desires If they work at it!
Similarly, "Caribbean Blue" shows Enya depicting what I believe to be a fairy. This is not the kind of fairy most people are familiar with – the one the size of Tinkerbell that flies in to collect a child's newly lost tooth and, with the wave of a magic wand, change said tooth into a quarter. Rather, I think she plays here one of the Sidhe [shee], Irish fairies descended from the Irish Celtic deities, the Tuatha Dé Danann. These were human sized "fairies" of Irish folklore and myth, and they are believed by some scholars to have been the inspiration for Tolkien's Middle-earth Elves.
In this video, Enya sings her song while guiding a young boy through a book. First they walk through the 'jungles of adventure,' then the boy enters dreamland (represented by a huge chocolate factory!). Finally, Enya meets the boy on a moonlit beach and gives him the book she has led him through.
The little boy's wonderstruck expression as he travels through the video perfectly sums up Caribbean Blue's twilight setting. Is it real or is it a dream? That is for the little boy to decide for himself.
"Anywhere Is," "Wild Child," "On My Way Home," and "Trains and Winter Rains" are more favorites of mine because they all present soft fantasies and dreamscapes that blur the possible with the impossible. Fact or fiction, myth or legend, this life or the next – all these things are muddled in both the song videos and the song lyrics. For instance, "Anywhere Is" speaks of "a moment" between two people that has been lost in time; no matter how Enya's 'character' searches, this moment is lost to her. She gets there only to miss the one she loves: "You go there you're gone forever/ I go there I'll lose my way/ We stay here we're not together/ Anywhere is…"
The video for "Wild Child" is set in a cityscape that constantly shifts to natural settings, leaving the viewer to wonder whether Enya's 'character' is in a jungle or a city. Any country boy could tell you there is little enough difference between both cities and the wilder parts of the world. All teem with life and throb with their own hurried heartbeat, represented in the video by the white cat that prances past Enya as she sings.
"On My Way Home" shows Enya riding a train, heading for – where? Home, she calls it in the lyrics. But which home? "On my way home, I can remember, only good days/ And on my way home, I can remember every new day…" Is it the home in this world, the home in the next, or a home known only to the 'character' who sings…? I don't know. Maybe even Enya's 'character' does not know.
"Trains and Winter Rains" is a part of Enya's Christmas album And Winter Came. "Trains," according to Enya, is a song about "a dark winter journey…where it's time to leave home." (You can find her description of it in the And Winter Came EPK video; second from the bottom of the list of Enya's videos. This video is an interview.) One of the things that struck me about "Trains" more than the lyrics, which do seem to speak of the last journey everyone must take, is the rhythm of the music. It is a soft piece of music reminiscent of the rhythm of the click-clack of a train's wheels rushing down the tracks. For some reason it always brings to my mind scenes from the animated movie The Polar Express. That may be because Polar Express was also about journeys and their endings/beginnings.
Now for my last two favorite songs. "Only Time" is a music video that is spellbinding. I think that perhaps in this film Enya 'represents' Time as she sings. The video follows spring showers to summer beaches, and then goes on to show autumn leaves falling. Throughout the film Enya's dresses bear some likeness to the seasons she passes through, culminating in a white dress during the final transition from autumn to winter. "Who can say/ if your love grows/ as your heart chose/ – only time/ and who can say/ where the road goes/ where the day flows/ – only time." Only Time – too true; only time will tell.
My final favorite song is "Book of Days." This song is one that I listen to more than I watch. The lyrics are, to me, the most inspiring part of the song: "No day, no night, no moment/ will hold me back from trying/ I'll fly, I'll fall, I'll falter,/ I'll find my day – maybe far and away/ far and away…"
This song makes me think about the journey ahead, the journey into forever, eternity. "I'll fly, I'll fall, I'll falter." Yes, all of that. That is the journey of life. And at the end "my day – maybe – far and away…"
Book of Days….. Every life is a book, the years lived and the years ahead. Yes…Book of Days.
Oooh, am I stiff! I've been typing to long. And I have probably made little sense while writing this note to boot. Well, I hope you enjoy the music, Giselle. I know I do!

Reanimator: How To Cryopreserve Fish Embryos And Bring Them Back To Life
Underwatertimes.com News Service - July 13, 2017 17:14 EST
Scientists report for the first time the ability to both deep freeze and reanimate zebrafish embryos. The method, appearing in the journal ACS Nano, could potentially be used to bank larger aquatic and other vertebrate oocytes and embryos, too, for a life in the future.
Cryopreservation has been used to save sperm, oocytes and even embryos of many species, including humans, cattle and lab animals. Preserving the embryos of most fishes, however, has remained an elusive goal. The embryos are relatively large with big yolks and are divided by multiple compartments. These traits make the embryos difficult to cool and warm uniformly without damage and ice formation. A few techniques, including microinjection of cryoprotectants and laser irradiation for re-warming, have shown promise toward achieving this long-sought goal. John Bischof and colleagues wanted to tweak the methods to see if they could finally make cryopreserving fish a reality.
The researchers injected a cryoprotectant, along with plasmonic gold nanoparticles to serve as a laser absorber, directly into zebrafish embryos. Plunging the embryos in liquid nitrogen rapidly cooled them to a cryogenically stable state in less than a second, according to modeling results. The researchers then used laser irradiation to heat up the nanoparticles, which were uniformly distributed inside the embryos, at an ultra-fast rate (1.4 x 107 degrees Celsius per minute). Not all of the embryos made it, but many were revived --a feat that is currently not possible by other techniques. Their hearts, eyes and nervous systems developed through at least the next 28 hours -- and they started to wiggle. As more fish populations shrink and become threatened, the researchers say the cryopreservation method could help establish banks of frozen fish germ cells and embryos that could one day help replenish the oceans' biodiversity. The technique could also be applied to amphibian, reptile and bird species with similar embryonic sizes and structures.

Self-Driving Cars and Business – Cognitive, Cooperation, and Controversy
Ron Exler
Several recent announcements about self-driving vehicles help illustrate the rapid evolution of the concepts, technologies, and manufacturers – and bolster our position that it's time for enterprises and their providers to pay attention to autonomous vehicles (AVs).
Automaker BMW Group and IBM announced collaboration on research. The focus is cognitive computing in BMW cars using IBM Watson. Research areas include conversational interfaces, personal driving experiences, and intuitive driver-support systems. BMW Group will co-locate a research team at IBM's new Munich Watson IoT headquarters (1680LENS, Kognitiv im Munich: IBM Opens Global HQ for Watson IoT, 16Dec2015).
On December 13, Google announced that its self-driving car project is now Waymo, a new Alphabet business. According to Google, "Waymo" stands for "a new way forward in mobility." Over the last six months, Google worked with Chrysler to design and engineer modifications to the Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid minivan to integrate the new self-driving systems. Waymo expects the self-driving Pacifica will be on public roads in 2017.
Yet there's controversy as well. After weeks of dispute with the California Department of Motor Vehicles, Uber finally agreed to terminate its pilot self-driving car service in San Francisco because it had no permits. Uber had asserted the permits don't apply because its vehicles have a driver and an engineer in the front seats to take over as needed; the DMV responded with a threat to de-register the cars. Uber has since threatened to pursue legislation that will allow it to bypass the DMV. Meanwhile, one report projects Uber losses will total $3 billion by year-end.
On December 14, Microsoft said it strengthened ties to location data providers Esri, HERE, and TomTom. TomTom and Microsoft will integrate location-based services into Microsoft Azure, including TomTom's High Definition Map and RoadDNA technology for autonomous driving. The integration should make it easier for developers to build and manage enterprise, mobile, Web and Internet of Things (IoT) applications that are location-aware.
HERE has a solid legacy of 30+ years in mapping transportation networks and points of interest worldwide (1960ETM, Briefing Notes – HERE Drives Street Mapping, Autonomous Vehicles, 24Sep2016). For Microsoft, HERE powers the Bing Maps API, enabling store-locator maps, asset tracking and other location services businesses and developers. Microsoft now can expand use of HERE data and services into autonomous vehicles.
Esri's geographic information system (GIS) runs on Microsoft Azure and the two longtime partners recently announced a preview of ArcGIS Maps for Power BI for improved data visualization for enterprise customers. Esri's GIS on Azure ingests real-time, location-based data, including weather data, social media feeds, live sensor data, and location services data.
While the profit models remain unclear for the rapidly shifting arena of road transportation services, big-name automotive companies, technology firms, data suppliers, ride-sharing services providers, and investors are betting heavily on success. These most recent announcements reinforce what we've said – how people and materials move is changing rapidly. Enterprises need to stop watching with curiosity and start deciding how, when, and where their businesses can benefit from autonomous vehicles (2018ETM, Three Reasons to Pay Attention to Autonomous Vehicles, 9Dec2016).
Mr. Exler is a Director and Principal Analyst with the ISG Provider Lens (IPL) service, a part of ISG Research. His focus is on the disruptive and progressive influences on businesses – and the experiences of their customers - of the Internet of Things (IoT), location intelligence, Digital Workplace and application modernization. Ron is lead analyst for the IoT Services 2021 IPL study as well as the Healthcare and Life Sciences Digital Services 2020 and 2021 IPL studies.

The fun design in this Patchwork Shrug Crochet Pattern is made as one piece! It's onePI rectangle with a little bit of sewing to make the shrug shape.
This little shrug adds a touch of warmth during these months before summer. It's a cropped sweater that looks so cute over a dress or with and tank top and jeans. I used Lion Brand Jeans Yarn for my Patchwork Shrug. It's such a soft acrylic and the colors are great! I think this shrug would be really cute with bright colors, too.
Weave in all the other ends besides the 2 long ends.
Lay the rectangle with the rows running horizontally. Fold in half by bringing to top down. Sew the sides closed with the long end using a whip stitch. Leave a space at the top for arm holes.
Fasten off, weave in the ends. After it's sewn, pull the top and bottom so the arm seams are running horizontal through the middle. This is how you wear the piece, you can see that it's looking more sweater-like!
And you're done with this cute shrug!

Alex Jones And Joe Rogan Made Peace With A Bizarre Podcast
Dani Di Placido
I write about film, television, pop culture, and other fun stuff.
Alex Jones, creator of the website InfoWars. Photographer: Andrew Harrer/Bloomberg
The cartoonish feud between conspiracy theorist Alex Jones and podcaster Joe Rogan (outlined here) has finally come to an end, with Rogan having invited Jones onto his podcast as a gesture of goodwill.
The two men made amends privately, the podcast being little more than another unhinged speech from Jones, who has enough energy to feverishly rant about aliens, artificial intelligence and Hillary Clinton for almost five hours solid.
It's clear that to Rogan, Jones is a genuine friend, his lovable lunatic, the guy who always provides a wild conversation, as long as you can tolerate listening to his rapid-fire fantasies. But to justify inviting the controversial conspiracy theorist on to the podcast, Rogan made sure to walk Jones through an apology for that whole Sandy Hook affair, practically holding Jones' hand to keep him from meandering into his interdimensional child molester theories.
In a brief moment that almost approached self-awareness, Jones reckoned that he'd plunged way too deep into conspiracy theories, to the point where he was questioning every single atrocity as a possible false flag. At least, every atrocity that might ignite a gun control debate.
It was interesting to see how Jones portrays himself as a victim of unfair media coverage, as a man simply examining events from every possible angle. Somehow, his delusions always heavily support alt-right talking points, but that's surely just a coincidence. Surely.
As Alex spluttered his way through his misunderstanding of news headlines and sci-fi stories, Rogan nodded along, assuring Jones that he wasn't mocking him. "I believe you," was the most Rogan had to add to this conversation, other than validating Jones' sob story of facing consequences for labeling the grieving parents of school shooting victims as "crisis actors."
Jones being barring from Twitter, Facebook and YouTube, along with facing a defamation lawsuit or two, has caused the man to dramatically shift his position on Sandy Hook. But he's still a firm believer in just about every conspiracy theory out there, with the amusing exception of Flat Earth. As delusional as he is, even Alex Jones knows the shape of the world.
Listening to Jones' barrage of mouth diarrhea, an imaginative blend of Nazis, aliens, human-animal hybrids, psychedelics and pedophilia, one is left only with an impression that we live in a terrifying, chaotic world, crushed under the weight of the rich and powerful.
Really, that concept isn't too far removed from the truth; all Jones does is add some sci-fi and fantasy elements to the mix, supported by his insanely energetic delivery. He's a storyteller, his worldview not too dissimilar from the overarching plotline of the Marvel universe, a tale of aliens, gods, and intelligent machines, albeit with an extremely sinister undertone of racial IQ pseudoscience.
Jones' rants are strangely similar to the rambling speeches given by President Trump; they communicate a tone rather than an idea. The two men are experts at communicating fear, confusion, and paranoia. Jones seems haunted by an unknowable enemy, drowning in today's rapidly changing social and technological landscape. And he's not the only one.
Listening to his word vomit, I finally understand why his listeners bother to listen. The man is like a broken antenna, crackling with electric disinformation, but he gives the impression that he's in on something that the rest of the world can't fathom, that he himself can't fathom.
Believing in Jones' convoluted alternate history might be less depressing than sinking into the dull depths of reality. But his worldview is inherently hateful, impossible to indulge without becoming the sort of person who unironically uses the term "red pill."
With this podcast, Rogan once again granted Jones a massive platform; hopefully, for the final time.

Singing, dancing good. Jokes over the line, okay, but not funny.
I thought Seth did a good job. It's a thankless job and he seemed to be comfortable in his shoes. Freaking show is so long. I could edit the bs out with no problem. Just when you thought it was over, Kristen Chenoweth and her face pulled back from as far as Chicopee Falls was brutal. Agree with your winners and losers. Charlize was absolutely stunning and love Jennifer Lawrence. Same sense of humor as Lindsey H!!!!
Jennifer Lawrence is a very funny and talented young woman. As is LH. Agree Seth is comfortable with himself and also so talented.

On October 1, 1908, the initially production Model T Ford is completed at the company's Piquette Avenue plant in Detroit. Given that World War II automobile design and style skilled the total revolution alterations to ponton style (devoid of a non-compact ledge components), a single of the initially representatives of that had been the Soviet GAZ-M20 Pobeda (1946), British Typical Vanguard (1947), U.S. Studebaker Champion and Kaiser (1946), as well as the low-production Czech luxury Tatra T600 Tatraplan (1946) and the Italian Cisitalia 220 sports vehicle (1947).
Key breakthroughs in proving the usefulness of the automobile came with the historic long-distance drive of Bertha Benz in 1888, when she traveled far more than 80 kilometres (50 mi) from Mannheim to Pforzheim , to make men and women aware of the potential of the autos her husband, Karl Benz, manufactured, and soon after Horatio Nelson Jackson 's profitable transcontinental drive across the United States in 1903.
Central to Ford's capacity to generate an economical auto was the development of the assembly line that increased the efficiency of manufacture and decreased its price. When the vehicle was in neutral, the middle pedal was employed to engage reverse gear, and the suitable pedal operated the transmission brake – there have been no separate brakes on the wheels.
The Autocar Business , founded in 1897, established a number of innovations nevertheless in use 21 and remains the oldest operating motor car manufacturer in the U.S. On the other hand, it was Ransom E. Olds and his Olds Motor Automobile Business (later recognized as Oldsmobile ) who would dominate this era of automobile production. Steadily reduced the price of the Model T. As an alternative of pocketing the earnings Ford lowered the price of his automobile.
Most of the auto logos include the organization name …

Lighter than air hot air balloons were the 1st way human beings took to the air in the contemporary era. This certainly will not be required as the whole automobile will be electrically powered, so there will be certainly no want for either an alternator or a starter motor for that matter. Two-stroke technology can produce a lot more energy, additional effectively, from a smaller, lighter engine. As the electric auto uses batteries and motors for motive energy, the engine would not be available to provide the force necessary for the car or truck to move.
Dispensing with separate cylinders, pistons, valves and crankshaft, the rotary engine applies power straight to the transmission. Internal combustion is a lot additional effective (takes less fuel per mile) than external combustion, plus an internal combustion engine is a lot smaller sized than an equivalent external combustion engine. The fuel (coal, wood, oil, whatever) in a steam engine burns outdoors the engine to make steam, and the steam creates motion inside the engine.
It is so produced so that it can offer high torque for the car or truck to carry a lot more load or move uphill very easily. Yet another element that is in every single car or truck at present that will no longer be needed in an electric car or truck is the alternator that powers the electrical systems of a combustion engine vehicle. In reality, the energy generated from an electric motor is significantly larger and constant compared to an internal combustion engine. The V-type of engine has two rows of cylinders set normally at a ninety degree angle to every single other.
Some of the proposed options to conventional engine style offer fuel savings that aren't that significantly higher than auto makers believe they can realize by means …

Starting in no distinct order, 1 of the initial products that draws people's focus to the DBS is the engine. It consists of some restricted memory and runs 512 Kb files that contain the whole operating system required to operate the auto as properly as a user block that includes all of the tables and settings that can be modified. Primarily based on collected facts that is computer system coded, computerized commands are sent to three systems: 1) ignition, 2) fuel, and 3) emission handle. This increases backpressure, stopping the engine from exhaling and robbing it of energy.
Other things that need to also be inspected incorporate the air pump and related plumbing, oxygen sensor and feedback control method. You will need to preserve a high level of torque all through the complete RPM band to obtain higher performance from your car or truck. On the exact same topic, you don't want to just blindy press the button more than and more than to make certain the auto starts.
When it detects a knock pattern, it begins to trim timing till the knock goes away and then it slowly adds it back once more, keeping the auto in the safest situation achievable, offered the default values. There is a severe failure of the emission control program that is causing the engine to misfire to the point that the catalytic converter is damaged every time the Check Engine Light flashes.
In other words, the computer attempts to guess a very good worth for the mixture primarily based on the MAF (under) and tries it out. A fantastic remote car starter will have a warranty for at least a year, and for up to three years. Phosphorus, which is discovered in motor oil, can foul the converter is the engine is burning …

Our mission towards our clients is to offer access to innovation and quality of our products, keeping in mind that safety is our priority. Responsibility, integrity and trust are our commitment to employees, partners and customers.
IMO founded by Luís de Sousa Gonçalves, dedicated to the manufacture of electric motors.
Technological products at the genesis of IMO, starting with the manufacture of electric motors, autoclaves and operating tables, and later to the manufacture of hospital furniture.
In the 60s, the company already had more than 100 employees specialised in the manufacture of hospital furniture.
In 1966, the company opened the first showroom in Oporto, in partnership with Mr. José Roquette, some relatives and Mr. Álvaro de Sousa as commercial director, in the then Robinson-Bradsley headquarters.
Inauguration of the second showroom in 1970, achieving at the end of the decade the. leadership of the Portuguese market, leadership that still remains to this day
In 1988, IMO was one of the first companies in the world to develop an electric hospital bed. For the new Cardiothoracic Unit of the new University Hospital of Coimbra in Portugal.
In the 90's, the Sousa family takes back the totality of the company, with the second generation at the head of the company.
In 1992, IMO started exporting to the main European Union countries. With the main destinations being Holland, Germany and Spain.
In 1996 IMO participated in the first international fair in Düsseldorf in Germany with the first hospital bed of the MATRIX family.
At the beginning of the millennium, the company obtained ISO9001 certification and years later ISO13485.
In the 2000s, IMO focused all its energy on product design and development to bring the entire product range up to world-class standards, and today the company has a portfolio of products of the highest level.
In 2016, IMO launched the latest version of the MATRIX range, with the Matrix E models.
In 2019, it decided to face the second family transition, passing the management of the company to the third generation of the family.
As an International brand, IMO launched in 2021 a new and impactful image, breaking the barriers of the present, based on the past and with an eye on the future.
It was in 1946 when Luís Sousa established and founded the company as an individual, dedicated to the manufacture of electric motors. After the dispute for permits, common at the time of the regime of the new state, he reconverted to the production of electric welding machines – by electrode and by points. He also embarked on the production of motorised cars for the handicapped and others.
Then came the autoclaves for hospital disinfection. This high-tech equipment would be the genesis of the definitive turning point for the production of hospital products, especially ward furniture, articulated and medical office beds, desks, cupboards and chairs. Thus, he stabilised the production range in the areas of furniture for hospitals, schools and offices, fundamentally with metallic base and under the brand MóveLongra – L. de Sousa Gonçalves.
The company ended up by specialising in hospital furniture and it develops all its activities in this area nowadays. In a small town, with scarce resources, Luís de Sousa Gonçalves consolidated his enterprise step by step, with the sweat of his brow and the seriousness of his work, allied to the commitment of his employees. Idealistic by nature, committed to achieving excellence through hard work, demanding, but always conscious of his social responsibility, he quickly transformed IMO into an industry of national importance. In the 1960s, it already had a consolidated structure with over 100 employees.
In 1966, understanding the vitality of the partnership established with its main – and almost exclusive – commercial agents in Oporto, Robinson-Bradsley, IMO was transformed into a limited company, welcoming as partners Mr. José Roquette, some members of his family, and also Mr. Álvaro de Sousa, the commercial director who helped to seal the partnership. The Robinson-Bradsley headquarters, at Rua do Rosário, was transformed into the first IMO showroom, which increased visibility and, thus, the sales volume of the company. With this change, and with the capital input it represented, it was possible to make a considerable investment in more modern and productive machines and in works to improve the factory facilities.
Thus, in the late 70's, IMO reached the leadership of the national market in the sector of hospital furniture, which it maintains until today. In the following decade, IMO developed and produced internally the first electric bed in Portugal (one of the first in the world). In 1970, the second IMO showroom emerged, this time in Lisbon, with great success. In only two years, about half of the sales volume came from the Lisbon sales department. In the 1990s, already under the command of the second generation of the family and due to the retirement of the remaining partners, the totality of the capital was taken by the founding partner, his two oldest sons, Pedro Sousa and Jorge Sousa, and his cousin, António Gonçalves, who, in the meantime, pointed new directions for the company.
This was the decade when, based on a firm commitment to design and engineering, the company embarked on an export strategy, initially in countries like the Netherlands, Germany and Spain, among others. A few years later, Luís de Sousa Gonçalves' youngest son, Rui Sousa, joined the team, taking over as commercial director. At the end of the 20th century, hospital furniture started to have an accentuated growth and became the object of international demand. With an increasingly globalised economy and an increasingly intense international growth, it forced a change in the internal paradigm of product development with an increasing focus on design and durability of IMO products, and a reinforcement in production terms with state-of-the-art technologies applied to hospital beds.
In the first two decades of the 21st century there was continuous investment in the improvement of production processes and equipment, confirmed by a process of quality certification, both with ISO 9001 and ISO 13485. Today, the third generation takes over the controls of this family company, but the principles of its founder have remained firm over time. Each with their own style, all the generations have been able to adapt to the ever-changing world and the new challenges that have emerged. With a new lease of life and a great desire to carry on the business of their grandfather and fathers, IMO's new management has designed a vertical restructuring of the entire company, with a new strategy for strong international growth, symbolised in 2020 by the launch of a new, rejuvenated and impactful image, marking a new era for the company.
Over more than 70 years of existence, IMO has shown great social responsibility towards its customers, suppliers and employees, as well as the surrounding society.
Very honoured to have employed employees for over 50 years in the company, with fair recognition from all the hospitals with a continuous assistance to the products, many with more than 30 years in use. These are the good moments that remind the whole IMO family, that even a small company, from a small town, from a small country, can have a leading word to say all over the world and that, with patience and perseverance, IMO will become a world reference in the sector.
IMO together with all Caregivers.

Natalie Blake Studios tiles can be installed outdoors. This piece, Tree of Life, persimmon, was recently installed at a residence outside of Philadelphia, PA. Here's what the homeowner had to say... "We are indeed loving our Tree of Life! It is even more special than we thought it would be. You certainly have an artist's eye. Having the azaleas in the foreground adds a nice touch. A welcoming at our front door! We are thrilled with the tiles. The piece livens our entrance. Prior to this installation, you looked at a plain stucco wall as you walked up to the front door."
