It's a sad fact that despite awareness programs, educational efforts for young people and strict laws, drunk driving remains a huge problem in New Mexico as well as the rest of the country. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, one person in the United States dies approximately every 48 minutes as a result of a drunk driving crash. This equals about 30 fatalities throughout the country each day.
Those who drink and drive can belong to any gender or age group, although younger drivers between the ages of 21 and 24 are one of the groups most at risk of being in a fatal alcohol-related crash. Drivers with prior DWI convictions are also at high risk.
Two out of every three people are expected to be involved in a drunk driving accident at some point in their lives.
In 2012, 10,322 people were killed and an additional 290,000 injured in drunk driving crashes throughout the country.
Not only are car accidents the top cause of death for teenagers, about a fourth of these crashes involve an underage drunk driver.
In an attempt to prevent more of these tragic accidents from occurring, all states have adopted laws that punish drunk drivers, states the National Safety Council. Many states have ignition interlock laws, which require the installation of a device on a person's vehicle that will not allow the car to start if the driver's breath registers any alcohol. These devices can allow people with drunk driving convictions to continue to drive to work or school, while keeping others safe on the road.
While each state's laws regarding ignition interlock devices are different, New Mexico is one of the strictest. According to the New Mexico Department of Public Safety, everyone who has received a drunk driving conviction in the state, including first-time offenders, is required to have an ignition interlock device installed.
In Albuquerque this last February, witnesses reported seeing a car driving aggressively before a crash that resulted in one driver being pinned behind the wheel. That person was later pronounced dead at the hospital, while several other people were hospitalized with severe injuries. According to KOAT News, two of the victims were juveniles. Authorities said that alcohol and speeding contributed to the crash.
If you were in an accident caused by a drunk driver, you may be dealing with serious injuries and overwhelming medical bills. It can help to speak with an experienced personal injury attorney to discuss your rights, which may include the compensation of your expenses.

"Eugenia ""Skeeter"" Phelan"
Aibileen
Minny
Hilly Holbrook
Celia Rae Foote
Character List and Analysis "Eugenia ""Skeeter"" Phelan"
Skeeter is the 22-year-old privileged daughter of a cotton plantation owner. She returns to Jackson, Mississippi, following her college graduation and finds that her perspective on the division between white Southern households and black maids has changed. Skeeter wants to be a writer, but her mother wants her to be a wife. Skeeter falls for the senator's son but the romance ends when Stuart learns of her civil rights leanings. She approaches an editor in New York City with the idea of writing about black maids in her town and is tentatively given approval. The project begins her transformation from the woman she was raised to be to the independent, brave woman who chooses her own path.
Skeeter's character represents the theme of alienation throughout the novel. For example, she becomes isolated from the community of southern women in which she was raised. She fails at meeting her mother's expectations for what a proper woman should do and creates conflicts within her group of friends because she questions the way things are done. When Skeeter returns from university, she tries to reenter her old life but finds that the life she left behind now looks different. Her alienation eventually leads to self-awareness of her role within the segregated society, which shocks her and motivates her writing project. The writing project also leads to a friendship with Aibileen that never would have been possible if Skeeter hadn't chosen to break from her own community. Eventually, she must choose between her past and her future. Skeeter decides to leave her community and move to New York City to follow her dream of writing.

Q: How do you scan logcat output and post event based on found text? I would like to scan logcat activity and post and event if I find my desired text.  I am trying to approach here:
Logging logcat activity
but I would like to know how to react to what I find in the log, such as posting an event so another object can handle it.

A: Get the string of all log messages as posted in the answer you mentioned. Then, simply search the string using regular expressions.
For example,
String result = //... get the logs ...

if(result.contains("trigger text i am looking for")){
  myObject.raiseEvent();
}

EDIT
If you are trying to do a constant monitoring of the logcat, this will be much more difficult. For one, the process might get shut down without warning. So you need a way to keep it running, or to constantly check that it is running.
Secondly, the solution you linked to would not work in this case, as that waits until stopLogging is called, then returns the entire log for the recorded interval.
Also, you'll have to modify that code so that it has a list of trigger words and their associated callback functions to run.
while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null){
 for(int i =0; i < triggerList.size(); i++){
   TriggerPhrase trigger = triggerList.get(i);
   if(line.contains(trigger.phrase))
   {
     trigger.onTriggerPhrase(line);
   }
 }
}

where TriggerPhrase is a simple class that has a String phrase member variable and an object that implements a callback function.
public static class TriggerPhrase implements TriggerListener{
  String phrase;
  TriggerListener callback;
}

public interface TriggerListener{
   public void onTriggerPhrase();
}

Then before you start listening the logs, you populate the triggerPhrases List in the LogCat listener.
TriggerPhrase monkeyPhrase = new TriggerPhrase();
monkeyPhrase.phrase = "monkeys";
monkeyPhrase.callback = new TriggerListener(){
  public void onTriggerPhrase(){
    notifyUser("found the phrase `monkeys` in the logcat");
  }
};
triggerPhrases.add(monkeyPhrase);
//etc.

Tax Break Covers Costco and Cokes
Education Funding News in Brief
By Andrew Ujifusa — February 13, 2018 2 min read
In a push to promote the new federal tax code's benefits, Speaker of the House Paul Ryan, R-Wis., highlighted how a public high school secretary in Pennsylvania is now taking home an extra $1.50 per week. That sum will "more than cover" the "pleasantly surprised" secretary's annual membership fee at Costco, he tweeted out Feb. 3. But Ryan deleted it later after getting a lot of pushback on social media.
The Associated Press story cited by Ryan quoted Julie Ketchum, a secretary at Hempfield High in the Hempfield district. Ketchum said she was amused that Ryan highlighted her as an example of how the tax code would help workers. She isn't listed on a website listing Hempfield personnel and their salaries.
Nonetheless, we got to thinking: How much do school secretaries typically make, and what would a salary increase of $1.50 a week mean for them?
The average school secretary's base pay is $34,450, according to Glassdoor, a job and employer-review site.
However, Payscale, an employment research firm, recently reported that the median salary for school secretaries is $28,567, based on a survey of 1,030 secretaries. And SimplyHired, which helps employees and employers calculate compensation, reported an average salary of $31,568.
These sorts of stats should be taken with a grain of salt, in part because they are based on online submissions. For example, Glassdoor separately lists the average base pay of elementary school secretaries at $46,010 a year, based on more than 7,500 salary figures submitted to Glassdoor. The website doesn't cite a reason for the discrepancy between elementary school secretaries and the more general figure.
It's worth noting that the mean average wage for secretaries and administrative assistants for various employers in Pennsylvania was $34,930 in 2016, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Ketchum said the extra salary means $78 more a year for her, although that's based on getting $1.50 more over 52 weeks, and many school employees do not get paid during the summer break. That salary bump does indeed cover an individual's annual Costco "Gold Star" membership of $60, plus $18, enough for 12 hot dogs and 12 sodas at Costco.
Ultimately, $78 per year extra represents a pay increase of about 0.23 percent for the average school secretary. That's if we take Glassdoor's annual average base pay of $34,450 for secretaries, which is close to the mean average wage figures from BLS cited earlier.

Sorry, some of them are dusty or in cat hair.
First off, some comfy shoes. The right ones are pretty new, I use them at work. I got them from Halpa Halli, cost around 2,10€. And the left ones I have had for a loooooong time full of holes and look pretty crappy. But I still use them sometimes. I think I got them from Kuljun kartano.
Then we have my converse knock offs. I have used them a lot in past summers. But this summer, not so much. They were from a shoe shop in Ideapark some years ago.
Then there's my combat booties. The ones at the back I have been using like 5 years. Pretty beaten up. I originally got them from a shoe shop in Tampere. The ones on the front are ones I got from a flea market, just some months back. They were cheap (8€) and in very good condition so I tough that they would be a good replacement for my old ones.
My only flats. These were bought for my graduation ceremony and stuff. I have only wore them once or twice after that. I don't really like flats at all.. They are so ugly, uncomfortable and.. just no.
Then we have my long combat booties. Got them second hand, but they were in pretty good shape, but I think I do have to get new strings on them sometime soon.
Leather heels, I got them from my mom a really long time ago. I keep them around because they go really well with some longer skirts.
And then these weird shoes. I got them from a flea market some time ago. They were like few euros and I sometimes wear them under some really long skirts.
My motorbike heels. From a flea market also. I just fell in love with them for some reason.
Every goths necessity. Some granny heels! Also from a flea market with few euros.
Squeaky booties! They are some sort of plastic so they get hot and squeaky. Still like them. Flea market also.
Only shoes I have that are from H&M. And the fake leather started to peel after the first use. Way to go H&M. Good thing I got them from a sale.
Feet killer heels! There were a souvenir from Lithuania. I guess that's the only reason I still have them. You can't walk 10 meters with them without your feet getting killed. They are pretty though.
Monster shoooees! They are super heavy and cat has chewed on the shoelaces. I got them many years ago from a shoe shop in Ideapark.
Short motorcycle boots. Flea market find also.
Then there's my long moto booties. Flea market all the way.
Another pair of granny heels. Flea market, flea market..
Some weird demonia knock off shoes. Got them second hand.
And some genuine demonias. But I don't remember the exact name. Second hand.
Demonia clash 430. I have taken the chain off, Didn't like it much. These are second hand also.
Some more second hand demonias. Gothika 200 if I remember right.
And then their sisters, Demonia Gothika 209. Second haaaand.
My demonia swing 815's. Second haaaand.
Demonia Swing 220's. As second hand as second hand can be.
Here we have the c-c-c-combo breakerrss, they are actually from Pennangalan. But yes, second hand.
Last but not least. My winks from Huuto.net. Not sure about the brand, but I adore them.
In total I have 30 pairs of shoes. But how many is too much? I personally think I don't have too much shoes. But I think if the number would ever go over 50 pairs. I would think about getting rid of some. Depends on how much storage I have at the moment.
But this does give me some prescriptive, I seriously thought I had a lot less shoes. Why is it that I never find good shoes to match my outfit? Ehehe.
How may shoes do you have?
Heh onkohan lie joku maaginen luku jonka ohitettua löytää aina sopivat kengät asuun. :D Tai sitten se vain riippuu siitä kuinka hyvin on pikkuiset valinnut!
Your Pennangalan calf boots are so hard to find. My wife has looked and cannot find them. She'd love those ones.
Yes I know they are, impossible even. I'm sorry but I love my boots, I have used them so many times while going out and I will definitely use them again many more times so I can't really part with them. Sorry. Sometimes stalking around ebay for a long time might produce some boots, but you just never know, you know.

School of Pyschology and Human Development
Individuals with different political attitudes attribute their political tendencies to different sources of moral authority. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between moral authority sources, political attitude and authoritarianism. A total of 128 subjects from two universities participated in this study by completing the Moral Authority Test-Revised (MAS-R) and the Authoritarianism Scale. Respondents were also asked regarding their political tendencies. Findings showed no significant difference of political attitudes in attribution to different sources of moral authority and authoritarianism. There was however a significant relation of authoritarianism with external source of moral authority, but not with principle and self interest sources. This implies that authoritarians relied on external source of authority figures in moral judgment rather than one's own interest or principle issues. The findings were discussed in terms of the characteristics of the sample and sociopolitical sphere of Iran.

July 4 Fireworks Explosion Severely Injures Texas Teenager Who Might Now Be Blind
By Alexi McCammond
Ronald Martinez/Getty Images News/Getty Images
After a terrible July 4 celebration went wrong, a homemade fireworks bomb severely injured a Texas teenager on Saturday, July 2. Rowdy Radford, 15, reportedly tied 200 sparklers together with tape before lighting the "sparkler bomb" on fire. However, local Houston news station KPRC reported that as Radford went to light this homemade firework bomb, it blew up in his face.
Radford is currently in Children's Memorial Hermann Hospital where he is being treated for his injuries, which cover his entire body. He has reportedly lost multiple fingers, part of a leg, and is partially blind after the homemade "sparkler bomb" exploded in his face. As of July 4, Radford had been undergoing intensive surgeries for two days following the incident. KPRC reported that part of his left leg was amputated during one of the surgeries, while other surgeries inserted screws to connect his wrists and elbows back to his arms.
"When it blew him up it caused severe injuries and they ended up having to amputate his left leg right below the knee, he also has severe burns throughout his entire body," Samantha Hansen, Radford's aunt, told KPRC.
Doctors are unsure if Radford will ever regain his vision after this incident.
"I just want this out, I want everybody to see this so they'll know what happened, don't let their kids do this. It's not worth it," Radford's mother, Wendy Smith, told KPRC.
Radford was reportedly going to be a freshman in high school this year, according to a family friend who spoke with KPRC. He will likely be undergoing surgeries and recovery for multiple days.

New Delhi: Heritage activists Sunday accused the Indian government of trying to privatise historic relics such as the Taj Mahal after it launched a controversial scheme allowing companies to "adopt" dozens of monuments.
India's tourism ministry on Saturday announced a five-year contract worth Rs250 million (Dh13.7 million, $3.7 million) with the Dalmia Bharat conglomerate for the iconic 17th-century Red Fort in Delhi and another fort in the southern Andhra Pradesh state.
The Red Fort — built by Mughal emperor Shah Jahan in 1639 and also on the Unesco list — is where India's prime minister makes an annual independence day speech.
"There is no clarity on how much money corporates will spend on the facilities but they are certainly going to generate more funds from tickets than the contract amount," she said.
Major historic "monuments are a nation's crown jewels. They should not be played around with," historian William Dalrymple said on Twitter.


Discussion in 'The Projects Forum' started by larold01, Sep 28, 2017.
I have a still with 5 heating elements controlled by 5 SSR regulators which are adjusted using potentiometers. I would like to replace this setup with one Omega PID controlling 5 4-20mA SSR regulators. I have some experience with the standard on/off SSR's but have not done anything with the regulated ones. My question is can one PID control 5 4-20mA SSRs wired in series or do i need to add some way of splitting the 1 PID single into 5.
This is whats in there now.
This is what i want to use.
You do understand that the 4-20mA input just turns the relay full on or full off and that the output is not proportional to the input current?
I don't know what you mean by SSR "regulated ones".
Yes, you can put all the inputs in series as long as you have adequate control voltage and the proper resistor in series to have an on-current of between 4ma and 20ma.
You need to allow about 1.5V drop for each relay, so the total drive voltage for 5 units in series would be at least 7.5V, so say 10V including the resistor drop.
If you control voltage is not that high, you can put them in series-parallel with a resistor to limit the input current for each group.
Like I said the SSR regulators or "proportional controllers" are new to me. Until now i assumed all SSRs where just on/off.
But from what I could determine, the SSR you selected is on/off not proportional.
Do you have information that says otherwise?
I was thoroughly confused when i saw this in my controller box lol. First thing i said was how is this thing getting power to trigger the SSR?
For now all i have is the description on amazon.
The link i posted from omega is the best read I have found so far on how they work. I am having a lot of trouble finding info on this type of SSR.
The second page covers it pretty well.
What is the reason why you need 4-20mA proportional control? This kind of tight control is usually only needed for applications where there is very little thermal mass. For example a hot wire cutter; the wire starts to cool instantly when current is removed. For applications like a still, I assume you have a huge thermal mass (a vat of liquid) so I see no reason why you would need 4-20mA proportional control (this type is phase angle controlled, so your heat elements get 120 voltage pulses per second assuming 60hz supply).
This application would typically be controlled with a much cheaper and much simpler on/off system where the controller will apply full voltage via the SSRs you already have, for a few seconds , and then off for a few seconds. You can still have PID control of the heating process using the on/off control.
The only thing you need to buy is the omega PID controller with on/off output. Use your existing SSRs (all 5 in parallel) ... unless you have some specific reason for going 4-20ma.
ebeowulf17 and larold01 like this.
Crutschow is correct not proportional just as the spec said solid state relay on or off.
I do not want to be rude but it is not possible to build to quality standard without proper component documentation. Without a project will fail.
4-20mA "proportional" SSRs are just regular SSRs with a little PCB screwed to the input which fires the SSR once per half cycle (phase angle firing).
My original SSRs are proportional but use pots to trigger them. I ordered the standard on/off SSRs and relay controller first but after some more reading I discovered that they become an issue during the distillation process when you need constant low heat to maintain a precise temp. I now have both setups which cost the same so I need to know if one PID can run 5 proportional SSRs. The proportional setup seemed like it would do the same as the on/off one with more flexibility. I did find a diagram for a 3 phase setup that had them wired in series on the control side from the PID but it was only using 3. I was not sure if running 5 was possible without an additional piece of circuitry and can not test until tomorrow so I wanted to find out in order have what I need sent overnight.
I know but that is not the one im using. This is.
This is the controller i am using.
The first one i ordered was the CN7833 the one i now want to use is the CN7853.
If you go to amazon and search for that you can get the specs.
That should work with your existing SSRs if they are 4-20mA input.
Here is a link to a great article explaining the different types of SSRs and when to use them.
So wire them up like this?


They say that age is just a number. We've found that to be true with dogs too. Furry Fridays introduce to dogs young and old. But we've come to find that even dogs with a higher number attached, still have so much love to give. That is the story this week with our friend, Precious.
Precious was an owner surrender and is currently with Last Hope Animal Rescue in Cedar Rapids. She is 12 years old and is a Shitzu. She wasn't sure what to make of us for a bit, but she warmed right up when the treats came out! Precious is so loving and gentle. She snuggled right up on the couch with us. She'd love to do the same with you and your family. She gets along with other dogs and is kid friendly too! If you're looking for a new snuggle buddy, then Precious is your dog!

Renewable energy in Ukraine: bill on green auctions adopted at first reading
On 20 December 2018, the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine adopted at first reading revised bill No. 8449-d On Amendments to Certain Laws of Ukraine on Ensuring Competitive Conditions for Electricity Production from Renewable Energy Sources. The bill (hereinafter also referred to as the "Law") amends the Laws of Ukraine On Renewable Energy Sources, On the Electricity Market, On the Regulation of Urban Development Activities.
The need to pass the bill resulted from the far too high feed-in tariff for green electricity. As a result of the significant burden of feed-in tariffs on the wholesale price, the share of payments from the electricity wholesale market to electricity producers receiving the feed-in tariff was 7.5% in 2017 and 8.2% at the end of 2018. A high feed-in tariff in Ukraine, in particular feed-in tariff for solar power plants, leads to an excessive price burden borne by Ukrainian electricity consumers, which will continue to grow as new power plants are commissioned.
Moreover, the solar power price has dropped significantly in recent years. According to the IRENA report Renewable Power Generation Costs in 2017, one of the main reasons for this decline is the decrease in solar PV module prices by 81% since the end of 2009. The weighted average cost of solar power fell by 73% in 2010-2017, to USD 0.1 per kilowatt-hour (kWh).
That is, the solar power generation is becoming increasingly competitive compared to electricity generation from conventional sources, even without a state support. The European experience also shows a tendency towards a decrease in the promotion of solar power generation.
Therefore, a state support to electricity producers from renewable energy sources on a competitive basis, namely through the introduction of auctions and tenders, provides optimal support for electricity generation from renewable energy sources and helps to ensure that investors do not receive excessive compensation. For example, consumers should benefit from the reduction in green electricity prices as a result of the introduction of auctions.
The bill introduces the following significant changes:
1. Terms of participation in auctions
With effect from 1 January 2020, the promotion of companies constructing renewable energy facilities with a certain capacity will only be possible subject to their participation in auctions for the allocation of quotas and their winning the auction. The capacity requirements for renewable energy facilities to participate in auctions are as follows:
in 2020 – wind energy facilities with a capacity of more than 20 MW and facilities generating electricity from other renewable sources with a capacity exceeding 10 MW;
in 2021 and 2022 – wind energy facilities with a capacity of more than 20 MW and facilities generating electricity from other renewable sources with a capacity exceeding 5 MW;
from 2023 – all wind energy facilities with a capacity of more than 3 MW (except those with one wind turbine) and facilities generating electricity from other renewable sources with a capacity exceeding 1 MW.
The advantage of the new support system over the existing feed-in tariff system lies in the following aspects:
a longer support period (20 years after the renewable energy facility commissioning);
guaranteed off-take of the electricity generated by the electricity producers at a price that depends on the auction results (auction price).
Auctions shall be held twice a year, but no later than 1 April and 1 October. The auctions will be conducted until 31 December 2029.
2. Feed-in tariff duration
The existing feed-in tariff scheme is guaranteed until 2030 and applied to:
producers, already receiving the feed-in tariff, and economic entities that will construct and commission renewable energy facilities before 1 January 2020 (regardless of the installed capacity and renewable energy source);
economic entities which will sign a preliminary power purchase agreement under a feed-in tariff with the Energorynok state-owned company before 31 December 2019 and will construct and commission the respective facilities within 2 years (for solar power plants) or 3 years (for facilities generating electricity from other renewable energy sources);
economic entities that will construct renewable energy facilities after 1 January 2020, where the installed capacity is less than the capacity for which auctions are mandatory;
electricity consumers legally authorized to install energy-generating installations with a capacity of up to 500 KW on buildings and structures roofs or facades and to sell surplus electricity at a feed-in tariff rate once they use the energy for their own needs.
3. Reduction of the feed-in tariff
With regard to the feed-in tariff rates for various renewable energy sources, the bill provides for the following amendments:
in 2020, the feed-in tariff for solar power plants will be reduced by 25%, with the feed-in tariff being reduced by another 2.5% per year over the next three years (the current law, however, provides for a 10% feed-in tariff reduction in 2020);
in 2020, the feed-in tariff for wind energy facilities will be reduced by 10%, followed by a further reduction of 1.5% per year over the next three years (the current law, however, provides for a 10% feed-in tariff reduction in 2020).
The proposed feed-in tariff reduction is based on calculations made by the National Commission for State Regulation of Energy and Public Utilities and IRENA data on capital expenditure (CapEx) reduction with regard to the construction of solar power plants and wind energy facilities.
4. Start of auctions
Auctions will be conducted to identify business entities eligible for support. Auctions will be held through an electronic bidding system in accordance with the procedure for conducting auctions, to be approved by the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine within three months after the entry into force of the Law.
The first auctions will be held in 2020 for the allocation of the 2020 quota. The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine was commissioned to conduct a pilot auction in 2019 (within six months from the date the Law enters into force).
The yearly quota for the next 5 years shall have been adopted by the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine by 1 December 2019.
5. Quota allocated through auctions
A yearly quota (a capacity of renewable energy facilities for the respective year within the limits of which the economic entities will be provided with state support) shall be allocated through auctions. Every year, on 1 December at the latest, the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine shall establish yearly quotas for the next 5 years, which should provide market players predictability in planning and implementing renewable energy projects.
A yearly quota is established on the basis of renewable energy development indicators set by Ukraine's international commitments and Ukraine's Energy Strategy, taking into account the results of the assessment by the transmission system operator of the adequacy of generation capacity and the transmission grid development plan. A yearly quota shall be split into 3 categories: solar power plants, wind energy facilities and facilities generating electricity from other renewable energy sources.
A guaranteed buyer is responsible for organizing and conducting the auctions. Currently, a separate unit of the Energorynok State Enterprise – Guaranteed Buyer branch – acts in the capacity of the guaranteed buyer. The main task of the branch is to create conditions for the establishment of a state-owned company to act as a guaranteed buyer in the new electricity market.
6. Competition protection
To protect competition in auctions:
an auction participant, separately or together with other participants with whom they have the same ultimate beneficial owner, may be awarded with no more than 25% of the yearly quota;
the procedure of conducting auctions should provide for a mechanism of protecting competition in the event that it is established during the auction that competition is insufficient.
7. Bank guarantee to participate in the auction
To ensure a fair competition among bidders, the bill prescribes that bidders have to submit an irrevocable bank guarantee to participate in the auction and an additional bank guarantee on top in the case of winning the action as a performance bond to secure the obligations under the contract concluded with the guaranteed buyer.
The amount of the bank guarantee to participate in the auction shall be EUR 5,000 per 1 MW of capacity, in the distribution of which the business entity intends to participate. An additional bank guarantee shall be EUR 10,000 per 1 MW of capacity, in relation to which the auction winner guarantees the performance of their obligations to the guaranteed buyer.
8. The auction winner
The auction winner is a bidder who has bid the lowest price for electricity at which this bidder is ready to generate the electricity from renewable energy sources and to feed it into the electricity grid (auction price).
At the same time, the bill provides for the auction price ceiling at the level of the feed-in tariff set by law for renewable energy facilities of the relevant category.
The auction price shall be converted into EUR as of the date of the auction at the official exchange rate of the National Bank of Ukraine on the given date.
9. Timeframes for the winner to commission a renewable energy facility
The auction winner undertakes to construct and commission the renewable energy facility within 2 years (for solar power plants) or 3 years (for facilities generating electricity from other renewable energy sources) after signing the contract concluded on the basis of the auction results.
If the renewable energy facility is not commissioned within the specified timeframe and does not feed electricity into the power grid, the contract concluded on the basis of the auction results shall be deemed invalid and the obligations under the irrevocable bank guarantee shall be performed in favor of the guaranteed buyer.
10. Validity of new technical conditions for renewable energy facilities
The technical conditions for renewable energy facilities shall have the following validity periods:
for solar power plants – no more than two years after the date of issue, regardless of the change of the principal;
for facilities generating electricity from other renewable energy sources – no more than three years after the date of issue, regardless of the change of the principal.
In the event that the principal is a business entity awarded with the state support through an auction, the technical conditions for a renewable energy facility granted to this business entity shall be valid for the duration of the obligation to construct and commission the respective renewable energy facility.
11. Validity of already granted technical conditions
The technical conditions for renewable energy facilities issued more than 2 years before the entry into force of the Law shall be valid:
for solar power plants – no more than one year after the entry into force of the Law;
for facilities generating electricity from other renewable energy sources – no more than two years after the entry into force of the Law.
The technical conditions granted more than 2 years before the entry into force of the Law shall become invalid if, at the time of the entry into force of the Law, the economic entity concerned cannot provide a registered declaration of commencement of construction works or a permit for the performance of construction works for the respective renewable energy facility.
The technical conditions issued less than two years before the entry into force of the Law shall be valid:
for solar power plants – no more than two years after the entry into force of the Law;
for facilities generating electricity from other renewable energy sources – no more than three years after the entry into force of the Law.
It should be noted that the bill was only adopted at first reading. Amendments may be made to it before its final adoption.

There are about 700 kinds of the eucalyptus tree with around 500 developing a style of vital oil. They type 75% of the flora of Australia and have naturalized them selves to quite a few other international locations. Some are medicinal oils, some industrial oils and some are utilised in perfumery. Each and every oil will have unique constituents, various attributes and makes use of. The oil arrives not from the bark of the tree but from its leaves. Eucalyptus is surely an oil that ought to be in just about every one's drugs cupboard. All of the eucalyptus oils are in the myrtle spouse and children (Myrtaceae).
The Australian Aborigines employed eucalyptus in the remedy of all sorts of fever, together with malaria. There are so lots of unique varieties, every single obtaining a unique chemistry and consequently distinct healing qualities. For occasion, Eucalyptus globulus recognized as blue gum tree is especially good for bacterial infections of the respiratory tract but also for cure of rheumatism, arthritis and wounds. E.globulus is good for purifying air and the trees generate ozone. It really is chemistry demonstrates its higher in oxides, exclusively 1,8 Cineole. Of all the medicinal grade eucalyptus oils, E.globulus is the most extensively known and utilized.
Eucalyptus citriodora is lemony in fragrance and is much more cooling in action than the E.globulus. Its essential constituent is citronellal, an aldehyde. This selection of eucalyptus is improved to use when mucus secretions are yellow indicating an infection and warmth in the overall body. It truly is also a wonderful insect repellant especially helpful in opposition to cockroaches and silverfish. One particular vital point about E.citriodora is that it is mild and thought to be finest for young children since of its lemony new smell.
This is an additional fantastic eucalyptus-E.Dives, also known as Peppermint Eucalyptus. It has a menthol fragrance and its important constituent is piperitone, a ketone. This eucalyptus has terrific mucolytic attributes and is employed for bacterial infections primarily sinus, ear, kidney and for vaginitis. E.Dives is the strongest of the medicinal eucalyptus oils and therefore most effective utilized topically. Eucalyptus polybractea is also known as Blue Mallee and like E.globulus, it is higher in one,eight cineole. It is a incredibly antimicrobial and an expectorant oil nevertheless gentler in motion than some of the others.
The remaining eucalyptus we must all be aware of is Eucalyptus radiata. It way too is substantial in one,eight cineole. E.
Should you have almost any concerns regarding where along with how to work with Tamba Waras, you can e mail us with our own website.
radiata is really antibacterial, antiviral and an expectorant oil that is good not only for respiratory circumstances but is specifically superior for sinus bacterial infections. It is by significantly the gentlest and most efficient of the eucalyptus oils given that is it so reduced in aldehydes which distinguishes it from E. globulus and E. dives.
Want to find out extra about the healing properties of the several eucalyptus oils as effectively as other necessary oils? Look at turning into a licensed aromatherapist. Educational programs in healing power and aromatherapy can support you have an understanding of how crucial oils mend the human body/brain/spirit.

This will take you directly east and drop you on the main road (Desert Highway) somewhere near the Queen Alia International Airport. From here you can catch the Kerak bus as it comes by, or if you are lucky hitch a ride.

Long before the Crusaders came Kerak was an important city in the Biblical kingdom of Moab. It is mentioned in the Bible as Kir or Kir Moab. It was later home to the Nabateans, the Romans and the Byzantines. Kerak castle was built in 1142 by the Crusader king Baldwin I of Jerusalem. At the time it was part a series of fortresses stretching between Jerusalem and Aqaba. The Crusaders built strategically; each fort was a day's journey apart and each one lit a beacon at night to inform Jerusalem that it was safe. Kerak Castle resisted attacks by Saladin's troops in 1183 and 1184, but finally fell after a siege in 1189. The Mamluks took the fort in 1263 and made several additions to the structure.
Kerak Castle is a typical example of Crusader architecture with its vaulted rooms and corridors. The Crusader parts of the ruins are mostly on the upper level but below ground are a maze of interesting tunnels and rooms to explore.

search?q=(or(prefix+field%3Demail+%27email@email%27)(term+field%3Demail+%27email@email%27))&q.parser=structured&return=user

A: The symbols are being removed during text processing as described in Text Processing

According to the word break rules, strings separated by whitespace
  such as spaces and tabs are treated as separate tokens. In many cases,
  punctuation is dropped and treated as whitespace. For example, strings
  are split at hyphens (-) and the at symbol (@).

You may be able to solve this with a different Text Analysis scheme

A: You can set the field as literal as literal fields are not tokenized.

A: Fix it by replacing @ to a different character.


The Royal Academy of Engineering – 5th Annual Engineering Education Research Network Meeting was a 2-day meeting that featured many inspiring senior leaders from engineering with a passion to educate the next generation.
Prince Philip House where the event was held.
It was an honour to present alongside them, and share our experiences of the successful introduction of an authentic learning module for postgraduate taught students within the Department of Chemical & Biological Engineering at the University of Sheffield.
There are many good examples of teaching future proofed engineering, incorporating not only more interactive teaching methods such as 'flipped' classrooms and digital resources, but also including the incorporation of humanities subjects and business to provide context. Evidence shows that the engineers of tomorrow will use their knowledge and skills in a wide variety of different professions, and therefore their learning experiences need to prepare them for the journey they will take.
The meeting, therefore, focused on whether the teachers of engineering themselves have the correct mix of knowledge and skills to equip the students with the best opportunities, and indeed whether they fully understand what those future requirements look like.
We also heard from Baroness Brown of Cambridge, chair of the Henry Royce Institute for Advanced Materials, who reinforced the message about identifying exactly what we want from our engineers of the future, who they are, and how we train them with the most appropriate information.
Of course, the question of diversity in engineering was also raised. On the day we learned about Roger Hargreaves' new 'Little Miss Inventor', the low numbers of women still entering engineering was raised as cause for concern. Again the discussion suggested it was all about the ways we choose to teach and emphasize the importance of making relevant connections to the skill mix required in the future. If we are to succeed as a nation in the global rise of intelligent systems, we do need a truly diverse workforce and as engineering educators, we are best placed to answer this challenge. It may be that we need to refine our teaching or take a more project-based approach in the delivery to combine educators with varying knowledge, but unless we tackle this with a critical mass we will be doing the next generation a disservice.

SUMMARY: Successful email marketing can sometimes entail tweaking a few key elements to create the best possible system. But with limited staff and campaign deadlines, marketers may struggle to find time for optimization.
Erick Barney, VP Marketing, Motorcycle Superstore, and his team faced a conundrum all too familiar to marketers. They struggled to simply launch each campaign on schedule, all but eliminating their ability to optimize the messaging.
Still, they decided that continual improvement was too important a goal to ignore. "We have been looking for ways to stay relevant to our audience," he says. "We've really been striving for one-to-one merchandising."
Through testing and hard work they've succeeded well beyond expectations -- during an economic downturn, no less -- seeing their year-over-year email revenue grow 72% in 2009.
Barney and his team have learned to consistently tweak their creative messaging and style.
For instance, they might send HTML messages for weeks before delivering a text-heavy message that features long copy and fewer images. They aim to keep their audience interested in product offers by creating messages that catch their eye, he says.
"After a while, we decided to use different templates and not get stuck in a rut. An underlying base strategy is to keep things fresh."
Their approach goes against what some marketers accept as "conventional wisdom" -- that consistency in style is always an asset for an emailer. Audiences may react differently to the same message delivered in varied formats.
Part of the inspiration for an optimization push was declining open rates among their audience of 25-to-35-year-old male subscribers. They decided to test personalized subject lines by including the recipient's first name in the copy -- a best practice according to many email professionals.
o Control subject line -- "Don't be this guy, try Preferred Installer!"
o Test subject line -- "[First Name], is this you? Try Preferred Installer!"
The test convinced the team to use personalized subject lines as their standard approach. But their overall "mixing it up" tactic is applied to their subject lines, as well.
Sometimes they'll send a non-personalized message. "We've discovered that overuse of the customer name in the subject line dilutes its effectiveness over time."
"We are primarily dealing with weekend warriors, and the industry data told us to go for Mondays, so we did," he says. "But we thought we could do better."
The team tested sending messages on Thursdays. The result: Open rates went up.
However, they found that sales dropped significantly during weekends. In other words, sales fell for the Thursday email sends even though the opens were higher.
In the end, the test results provided key information about sales conversions -- not just about opens and clickthroughs. Mondays and Tuesdays once again became their send days.
Segmentation was not in the mix before the team's email program makeover. They implemented a now-irreplaceable tactic involving five key customer segments in their email list.
Barney examined the impact segmentation has had and liked the results. "We experienced an average increase of over 25% per email directly related to these additional dynamic merchandising [segments]."
Barney admits they were not diligent about scrubbing their list in previous years. But they have since changed that practice. Now, if an email subscriber has not purchased for one year, they are removed from the list.
"We saved $30,000 the first year in incremental spend by removing those people," Barney says. "When they aren't responding to the most-aggressive re-engagement offers, well, it's better to get them off the list."
Not surprisingly, landing page optimization also has been a core element of the team's email marketing progress. They started doing A/B landing page tests to see which creative elements provided the biggest improvement.
Barney says this process was a major contributor to the 72% revenue lift in 2009. "The most important question is whether or not the landing page fulfills the expectations of the value proposition of the link leading into it."
Six months ago, the team had approximately 3,000 fans on their Facebook page. Now, at press time, they have 11,159 -- a boost triggered by embedding a Facebook icon in their email messages.
People who click on the icon are taken to a specific Fan page, where they can follow the brand's news and activity. Not only has email helped grow their Facebook Fan group, but Barney suggests that the association also has helped email conversion rates, as well.
"We are still in our infant stage with [social media]," he says. "We are learning what the benefits are. It's definitely adding to our overall success. It's a great interface for us to communicate with our fan base."

Eleuterio Brito Aragonés, más conocido como Eduardo Brito (22 de enero de 1906 - 5 de enero de 1946) fue un cantante barítono de ópera y zarzuela dominicano. Está considerado como el cantante nacional de la República Dominicana.

Biografía
Nació el 22 de enero de 1906 en la sección El higo de Luperón, Puerto Plata. Era hijo de Gloria Aragonés y Julián Brito. El 3 de noviembre de 1929, a los 23 años, se casó con la vedette Rosa Elena Bobadilla. De ese matrimonio nacieron 2 hijos.

En la década de los años 30, Eduardo Brito se presentó en todos los países del Gran Caribe Hispano y realizó en Nueva York históricas grabaciones como "La mulatona" y "Lucía", esta última con letra de Joaquín Balaguer. Por esos años, el compositor cubano Eliseo Grenet, director de una compañía de zarzuelas quedó impresionado por el joven cantante y le contrató para que integrara parte del elenco durante una gira por Europa. También registró con su voz en el acetato la zarzuela "Los Gavilanes" compuesta por Jacinto Guerrero.

En 1944, estando en Nueva York, comenzó a perder facultades vocales y, al encontrarse en una mala situación económica, su hermana gestionó su regreso a República Dominicana . En mayo de 1944, Brito regresa a Santo Domingo donde muere en 1946.

En un lugar remoto, al nordeste de la isla de Santo Domingo, cuando el siglo XX cumplió su primer lustro, nació Eleuterio Brito en cuna humildísima. Uno de cuatro hijos que a tropezones crecieron bajo el peso de las limitaciones económicas, alejados de los medios de trasmisión de la cultura artística y literaria. No es hasta después de cumplidos los 10 años de edad que Eleuterio, como consecuencia de la separación de sus padres, va a vivir a Puerto Plata. Allí, unos años después, cuando ya ha descubierto el don de su voz prodigiosa, escapa del lado de su madre y comienza a darse a conocer en Santiago de los Caballeros como el limpiabotas que canta. Finalmente su voz le lleva al encuentro de músicos con reconocido prestigio en la región y canta en el Café Yaque, donde obtiene gran éxito.

Cuando apenas había cumplido 17 años de edad, la capital de la República lo acogió y, después de debutar en el Coney Island, fue contratado para presentarse en el Hotel Fausto, la plaza más codiciada entonces por los artistas del género; en el Trocadero y en el Café Arriete. Su andar por el país ya no se detuvo y, entre serenatas, fiestas y los más diversos empleos, transcurrió su vida hasta que en 1924, con la canción Amar, eso es todo, ganó el primer premio de un concurso que, en Santiago de los Caballeros, patrocinó el jabón Candado. Ese producto, que por la fecha se importaba desde Cuba, realizaba frecuentemente tales eventos, de manera promocional. Salvador Sturla, prestigiosa y autorizada figura, reconoció públicamente el talento de quien muy pronto dejaría de se Eleuterio para inmortalizarse con el nombre de Eduardo Brito. Para la educación musical del cantante, resultó de gran importancia la amistad que surgió entre éste y el maestro Julio Alberto Hernández quien tutelaba el Cuadro Artístico, un grupo en el que se nuclearon importantes voces que con frecuencia se presentaban en Santiago, San Pedro de Macorís y Santo Domingo.

La gran crisis norteamericana de 1929 no fue causa suficiente para impedir que Eduardo Brito, Rosa Elena Bobadilla (con quien había contraído matrimonio un mes antes) y otros artistas, partieran en diciembre de ese año rumbo a New York, donde se grabaría un gran número de piezas de autores dominicanos. Brito y su esposa, cumplidos los compromisos que les habían llevado a los Estados Unidos, decidieron no regresar y cumplir con los nuevos contratos que les proponían. El gran salto, el verdadero zenit de la carrera del barítono, llegó en los años posteriores. En 1932 las cualidades del cantante impresionaron gratamente al compositor cubano Eliseo Grenet, quien al frente de su compañía de zarzuelas, estaba de paso por New York con rumbo a Europa; Grenet solicitó entonces a Brito sus servicios y fue así que el público español le conoció, le aplaudió hasta el delirio y lo adoró. Fueron estos los años de máximo esplendor en la carrera del gran barítono, querido por el público que mejor sabía apreciar el dominio vocal de Eduardo. Durante esos cuatro años fue tanta la bonanza para el divo, que estuvo en condiciones de crear su propia compañía. Y aquel avance sólo pudo ser detenido por la apocalíptia conflagración mundial que tuvo como preludio a la Guerra Civil Española. Después de un cuatrienio de divina claridad, la luz comenzaba a declinar para Eduardo Brito y los años posteriores fueron difíciles. De España debió salir y, antes de regresar a su patria, en 1937, recorrió algunos países de Europa y actuó en París, Praga, Roma, y otras muchas ciudades. Pero el frenesí que causó su voz allende los mares parece que no se escuchó en la tierra que le vio nacer y, cuando se le debió recibir como al astro que en ese momento era, Brito se encontró con la parquedad hermética de sus paisanos. Hasta 1944 estuvo girando con frecuencia a Puerto Rico, Cuba, Colombia, Venezuela y Panamá. Su voz se fue perdiendo y su mente descontrolando. Para esa fecha no había cumplido aún los cuarenta años de edad. La vida había transcurrido muy velozmente para él; sus dones naturaleza le habían hecho trasponer estratos sociales y elevarse muy por encima de la educación que recibió; su capacidad autodidacta lo hizo saltar por sobre su modesta formación académica y su brillante imaginación le proveyó de gran fortuna en las tablas.

Muerte

Sufría una sífilis cerebral y este padecimiento le producía delirios y otros trastornos nerviosos. Por esta causa recibió, entre 1942 y 43, numerosas inyecciones de bismuto. Es una etapa muy penosa de su existencia que solo terminaría con su muerte, que se produjo el 5 de enero de 1946 en el manicomio de Nigua, provincia San Cristóbal.

El doctor Apolinar De los Santos (Polín), uno de los psiquiatras que le conocieron en el Manicomio de Nigua, narró cómo se reunían los pacientes para escuchar a Eduardo cuando en sus delirios comenzaba a cantar durante horas. También señala el hecho de sus interpretaciones del Ave María de Franz Schubert, mientras se bañaba en las aguas del mar Caribe en la zona de Nigua donde se encontraba el psiquiátrico.

Reconocimientos
Como tributo póstumo a su carrera, mediante Ley número 181-97, la sala principal del Teatro Nacional de Santo Domingo fue designada con su nombre
Mediante Ley No. 177-06 se designa con el nombre de Eduardo Brito el Teatro Nacional de Santo Domingo.
En 2012, se le coloca su nombre a una estación de la Línea 2 del Metro de Santo Domingo.
 Por medio de la ordenanza número 15-2014 del ayuntamiento de La Romana,  se  coloca su nombre a la antigua Calle Quinta del sector denominado Villa Pereyra, de La Romana.

In my last blog article on converting SVG to PDF, I crassly suggested that my blithe suggestion that interns might undertake doing a conversion SVG to PDF as a side-project was not, quite, hubris. I was wrong, I take it back; that was pure hubris; converting arcs to Bézier curves kicked my a-hem.
And it was totally worth it, now that I made the key insight that made it almost trivial to implement; a conceptual leap over a chasm that was… not so wide as I initially thought. But before I get to that, some background.
Before the Dot Net and Java interface, there was the DLI interface which was a C/C++-based layer on top of APDFL. Its purpose was to facilitate document creation. DLI is still available, even if it is no longer bundled with APDFL by default. Much of its functionality migrated to the Dot Net and Java interface. But for whatever reason, one aspect that was not carried over was its functions for drawing arcs, including elliptical arcs.
PDF as a format does not support drawing arcs; arcs have to be stated in the form of one or more Bézier curves. I've looked for a straightforward explanation of how to convert the parameters of an arc to those of a Bézier curve, but I've never really found one. Maybe I've been looking in all of the wrong places. Long ago, I'd found a paper for how to approximate a circle with four Bézier curves using a constant kappa added and subtracted to the basic circle formula. I eventually restated that in trigonometric functions, assuming right angles, and I later worked out how to make an ellipse. But it wasn't until I came across Gabi's article on how to split a Bézier curve into two that I saw a way to draw an arc to an arbitrary angle.
SVG as a format requires supporting arcs. I'm actually rather impressed with how SVG parametrized the arc command. It follows the path command pattern of starting from an implicit point and ending on an explicit point. But it does so without requiring common parameters like an explicit center or a starting angle, or a sweep angle. The specification describes the math for calculating those values in its appendix F.6. That part was just a matter of accurately transcribing the math into code. And checking it twice, about twenty times.
To be fair, as part of tracking down my transcription errors, I incorporated the nomenclature and some tweaks from Mozilla's SVG parser code.
After that, I was having trouble working the angle of rotation arc command parameter into my control point calculations. And also, adjusting the formula to also work going counter-counter-clockwise. So I took another look at the formulas I was using for calculating the control points of an unrotated ellipse.
I noticed that they looked an awful lot like the product of a matrix multiplied by a rotation matrix and a scaling matrix. So I went about calculating what that first matrix was: [1 k k 1 0 0].
And while that is a true statement, an important codicil is that order does not matter if you are multiplying two translation matrices. Or two scaling matrices. Or two rotation matrices (if you hand calculate the matrix multiplication, you will find the formula for the sin and cosine of a sum). So, to my rotation of control points by theta, I can tack on another phi rotation matrix. Done with handling counter-clockwise-drawn rotated elliptical arcs.
If there is still another segment to draw, then we calculate another 90 degree segment, and split it at the appropriate point. But we can throw away the second half of this last segment as we don't need it.
The code for this is starting to get a bit less tiny, but I don't think I'm quite done yet.
If you have any questions, comment below or contact us.
I am trying to get rid of DLI libraries from code. I want to write equivalent of "dlpdfpathaddarc".
So far I didn't find any answer. I would appreciate your help.
Good Question! The SVG arc command takes different parameters and covers more cases than DLI's dlpdfpathaddarc command, but the core you want to look at is between lines 811 and 861.
Looking at the dlpdfpathaddarc parameters, you will need to calculate a center point (cx,cy) which you can calculate from X = cx+ Rad*cos(T1) if you solve for cx, ditto Y= cy+Rad*sin(T1); solve for cy.
