Every year, automobile manufacturers roll out new and more efficient safety features, aimed at keeping drivers and their passengers safe from harm. The first and most important line of defense for everyone on the road is the driver's senses — specifically, visibility.
With the advent of sleeker, more aerodynamic exteriors, cameras, and proximity sensors, driving has become safer and easier than ever before. Manufacturers have given their customers eyes all around their vehicles, making it easier to navigate even the trickiest parking garages. Of course, some cars provide a level of visibility that puts them in a class of their own.
Here are the top four vehicles that outclass all others on the road when it comes to getting the best visibility when you're out hitting the asphalt.
The Subaru Outback earns its name on the list thanks to its expansive windows, large mirrors, and roof pillars designed to take up minimal space. The Outback also comes with a backup camera display that puts others to shame. Perhaps the biggest improvement that comes with the 2015 model is Subaru's new EyeSight technology, which acts as sensors warning the driver of oncoming danger and preemptively anticipates the driver's action. Subaru is essentially giving drivers an extra set of eyes on the road.
Few sedans are better equipped for a great view of the road than the Nissan (NSANY.PK) Altima. Boasting large windows and a rear-view backup camera, drivers should have an easy time working their way in and out of tight parking spots. Sleek mirrors and an aerodynamic shell help drivers get the best view of the road possible.
The Altima does come with drawbacks, though, including blind spots near the rear corners. Also, rearview cameras are not available on all styles.
The Subaru Forester is the only entry on our list to not conform to a sleeker dynamic. As an SUV, the Forester presents a boxier profile with more windows and a higher center of gravity. Low windowsills and large side mirrors help compromise blind spots in the rear corner. Throw in a backup camera, big windows, and slim roof pillars, and it's easy to see what makes this Subaru model a favorite of drivers who like excellent visibility.
When it comes to sports sedans, the Infiniti G offers a view of the world few can match. With excellent visibility out of the front and sides, the G allows you to hit the highways running. A rear-view camera assists with the view in the back, as roof pillars tend to run a little wide and create blind spots. A low and sleek profile lend to easy driving and excellent views for the driver and passengers alike. As far as sports sedans go, the G presents the best visibility a driver could hope for.

Pedroia Leads Red Sox Past Blue Jays 5-3 In 11
By By IAN HARRISON
Boston Red Sox's Dustin Pedroia (15) hits an RBI double against the Toronto Blue Jays during 11th inning baseball action in Toronto on Sunday, May 29, 2016. (Nathan Denette / AP)
TORONTO (AP) — A tough weekend for Clay Buchholz ended with a win and an appreciative handshake from manager John Farrell.
Dustin Pedroia hit an RBI double in the 11th inning, and the Boston Red Sox beat the Toronto Blue Jays 5-3 on Sunday to avoid a three-game sweep.
Boston recorded its 13th comeback victory one day after losing 10-9 on an infield single in the ninth. TheRed Sox lost 7-5 Friday.
"On the heels of two really tough days up here I thought we battled back, took the lead, gave it up and kept coming," Farrell said. "I couldn't be more proud with the energy and effort."
Blake Swihart drew a one-out walk against Gavin Floyd (2-4) and moved to third when Floyd threw a wild ball four to the next batter, Mookie Betts.
Drew Storen came on to face Pedroia, who hit a ground-rule double to right-center. Pedroia went 2 for 6 with two RBIs.

Xander Bogaerts followed with an RBI groundout. He went 1 for 6, extending his hitting streak to 22 games.
Removed from Boston's rotation Friday after losing his previous two starts, Buchholz (3-5) worked one inning for the win in his first relief appearance since Aug. 17, 2008.
"He handled it very well," Farrell said. "He had a good cutter, a good fastball."
As Buchholz dressed in the clubhouse afterward, Farrell stopped by his locker for a congratulatory handshake.
"He understands how I've felt about the whole situation," Buchholz said. "I don't think anybody would be human as a baseball player if they didn't take it as a slap in the face or as 'You've got to get better.' That's sort of how I took it and he understood that."
[Related] The UConn-Tennessee rivalry started with a phone call from an ESPN employee. Here's how it played out. »
Eduardo Rodriguez will replace Buchholz in Boston's rotation beginning with Tuesday's game at Baltimore.
Koji Uehara finished for his first save as Boston became the first AL team to reach 30 wins.
Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said Floyd is "worn down" after pitching three times in four days and suggested Toronto would make a move to reinforce its bullpen on Monday.
"There's a good chance something's got to happen, I would think," Gibbons said.
Jose Bautista hit a two-run homer for Toronto, which had won a season-high four straight. It was the 14th loss of the season for the Blue Jays' bullpen, matching Atlanta and Cincinnati for most in the majors.
Toronto trailed 3-2 before Edwin Encarnacion tied it with a leadoff homer against Heath Hembree in the eighth, his 11th.
Making his first start in Toronto since helping the Blue Jays reach the American League Championship Series last October, David Price gave up two runs and five hits in 6 1/3 innings, leaving to a loud ovation from the crowd of 47,916.
"That felt good, for sure," Price said. "A standing ovation is always good. It's not very common to get one whenever you're away from home."
Bautista opened the scoring with a drive off the left-field foul screen in the fifth, his 11th. It was Bautista's sixth career homer off Price, the most by any opposing batter.

Q: Splitting one row into multiple rows with mutate error I have a df akin to df1 where I want to break out the rows so that the Hrs_Time_Worked column is in intervals of 4, shown in df2.
I have been using the following code, but it throws an error:
df2 = df1 %>%
 group_by(Row)%>%
 mutate(S=START_DATE_TIME,
        Hrs_Time_Worked=list((n<-c(rep(4,Hrs_Time_Worked%/%4),Hrs_Time_Worked%%4))[n!=0]))%>%
 unnest()%>%
 mutate(E=START_DATE_TIME+hours(cumsum(Hrs_Time_Worked)),
        S=E-hours(unlist(Hrs_Time_Worked)),
        START_DATE_TIME=(S),
        END_DATE_TIME=(E),
        S=NULL,E=NULL)

Error in mutate_impl(.data, dots) : Evaluation error: invalid class
  Period object: periods must have integer values.

The following are required:
All categorical data must remain the same on child rows (e.g., TIME_RPTG_CD
   stays the same on every child row)
If there is a remainder that is
   less than four, the remainder amount should be listed on the last
   line (e.g., df2; row 3)
If a child row starts or ends on the next
   date the date column should be updated accordingly (e.g., df2; row 2-3)
df1 (current)
   Row EMPLID TIME_RPTG_CD START_DATE_TIME     END_DATE_TIME       Hrs_Time_Worked
       <chr>  <chr>        <dttm>              <dttm>                        <dbl>
     1 X00007 REG          2014-07-03 16:00:00 2014-07-03 02:00:00            10.0

df2 (desired)
Row EMPLID TIME_RPTG_CD START_DATE_TIME     END_DATE_TIME       Hrs_Time_Worked
    <chr>  <chr>        <dttm>              <dttm>                        <dbl>
1   X00007 REG          2014-07-03 16:00:00 2014-07-03 20:00:00            4.0
2   X00007 REG          2014-07-03 20:00:00 2014-07-04 24:00:00            4.0
3   X00007 REG          2014-07-04 24:00:00 2014-07-04 02:00:00            2.0

A: One of the approach could be
library(dplyr)
library(tidyr)
library(lubridate)

df %>%
  rowwise() %>%
  mutate(START_DATE_TIME = paste(seq.POSIXt(START_DATE_TIME, END_DATE_TIME, by = "4 hour"), collapse = ",")) %>%
  separate_rows(START_DATE_TIME, sep = ",") %>%
  group_by(Row) %>%
  mutate(END_DATE_TIME   = ymd_hms(lead(START_DATE_TIME, order_by = Row, default = as.character(END_DATE_TIME))),
         START_DATE_TIME = ymd_hms(START_DATE_TIME),
         Hrs_Time_Worked = as.numeric(difftime(END_DATE_TIME, START_DATE_TIME, units = "hour"))) %>%
  filter(Hrs_Time_Worked > 0)

which gives
    Row EMPLID TIME_RPTG_CD START_DATE_TIME     END_DATE_TIME       Hrs_Time_Worked
1     1 X00007 REG          2014-07-03 16:00:00 2014-07-03 20:00:00            4.00
2     1 X00007 REG          2014-07-03 20:00:00 2014-07-04 00:00:00            4.00
3     1 X00007 REG          2014-07-04 00:00:00 2014-07-04 02:00:00            2.00

Sample data:
df <- structure(list(Row = 1L, EMPLID = "X00007", TIME_RPTG_CD = "REG",
    START_DATE_TIME = structure(1404403200, tzone = "UTC", class = c("POSIXct",
    "POSIXt")), END_DATE_TIME = structure(1404439200, tzone = "UTC", class = c("POSIXct",
    "POSIXt")), Hrs_Time_Worked = 10), .Names = c("Row", "EMPLID",
"TIME_RPTG_CD", "START_DATE_TIME", "END_DATE_TIME", "Hrs_Time_Worked"
), row.names = c(NA, -1L), class = "data.frame")

#  Row EMPLID TIME_RPTG_CD     START_DATE_TIME       END_DATE_TIME Hrs_Time_Worked
#1   1 X00007          REG 2014-07-03 16:00:00 2014-07-04 02:00:00              10

A: Similar to @Prem's but using list columns and unnest :
df %>%
  rowwise %>%
  mutate(START_DATE_TIME = list(seq.POSIXt(START_DATE_TIME, END_DATE_TIME, by = "4 hour")),
         END_DATE_TIME = list(c(tail(START_DATE_TIME,-1),END_DATE_TIME))) %>%
  unnest %>%
  mutate(Hrs_Time_Worked = difftime(END_DATE_TIME,START_DATE_TIME, "hours"))

# # A tibble: 3 x 6
#     Row EMPLID TIME_RPTG_CD Hrs_Time_Worked START_DATE_TIME     END_DATE_TIME
#   <int> <chr>  <chr>        <time>          <dttm>              <dttm>
# 1     1 X00007 REG          4               2014-07-03 16:00:00 2014-07-03 20:00:00
# 2     1 X00007 REG          4               2014-07-03 20:00:00 2014-07-04 00:00:00
# 3     1 X00007 REG          2               2014-07-04 00:00:00 2014-07-04 02:00:00

It is more efficient to use map than rowwise, though less readable in my opinion, to use map you can do this :
df %>%
  mutate(START_DATE_TIME = map(START_DATE_TIME,~seq.POSIXt(., END_DATE_TIME, by = "4 hour")),
         END_DATE_TIME = map2(END_DATE_TIME,START_DATE_TIME,~c(tail(.y,-1),.x))) %>%
  unnest %>%
  mutate(Hrs_Time_Worked = difftime(END_DATE_TIME,START_DATE_TIME, "hours"))

#   Row EMPLID TIME_RPTG_CD Hrs_Time_Worked     START_DATE_TIME       END_DATE_TIME
# 1   1 X00007          REG         4 hours 2014-07-03 16:00:00 2014-07-03 20:00:00
# 2   1 X00007          REG         4 hours 2014-07-03 20:00:00 2014-07-04 00:00:00
# 3   1 X00007          REG         2 hours 2014-07-04 00:00:00 2014-07-04 02:00:00

In this case the output is not a tibble but a standard data.frame, which explains why the Hrs_Time_Worked column prints differently. Use as_tibble to get the same output. Or use as.numeric on any solution to have it as double.

Shannon and I shared this shirt several weeks ago on Me Sew Crazy. We had such a great time collaborating on a project together, that we decided to make it an ongoing series called "We Make!" The series has no real schedule, rather it will just be posts here and there with projects that both Shannon and I have worked on together.
This shirt is really comfy and flowy and can be made with or without decoration - go nuts!
1. First, take a longer shirt that fits you well (not snugly) and tuck the sleeves inside of the shirt. Place it on the edge of your tracing paper. I like to use freezer paper but any large tracing paper or wrapping paper work well too.
2. Add 1/2 inches for seam allowance, and trace around the neck and armhole of your shirt. Stop tracing just below the armhole.
3. Draw a straight line 1/2 inch below the bottom of your shirt and extend it roughly 4 inches beyond the edge of your shirt.
4. Starting at the armhole, draw a slightly curved line away from your shirt as shown in the picture above. Stop a little below halfway down your shirt, then draw a line down to meet the line you drew at the bottom.
5. Here is what your pattern should look like so far!
6. Now to create the curve in the front, draw a curve from the bottom to the side of your pattern as shown in the picture above.
7. First, make sure your fabric stretches sideways when you pull it. Then, with your fabric folded right sides together, place your pattern on top of your fabric and cut on the fold. This is the back of your shirt. Repeat this same process for the front of your shirt, but cut the neckline lower. Also cut a piece of fabric 22 inches long and 1 inch wide on the bias for your neck binding.
8. You should now have 3 pieces of fabric: a front piece, a back piece, and binding for the neck.
9. Place your front piece and your back piece right sides together and match up the shoulders. Sew one of the shoulders together and open back up.
10. Fold your binding in half, wrong sides together, and iron.
11. With the right side of your shirt facing up, match the raw edge of your binding to the raw edge of the neckline and pin all the way around the neckline. Using a 1/4 inch seam allowance, sew along the neckline to attach. Press.
12. Place your shirt right sides together again and sew the other shoulder closed. Now hem your armholes by folding the raw edge 1/4 inch, ironing, then folding another 1/4 inch and ironing again. Pin and sew. Repeat for other armhole.
13. Right sides together, pin from each armhole to the corner of the shirt only as shown above. Sew each side closed where pinned.
And now this gets passed onto Shannon!
15. I clipped the shirt to a drawing board to keep the fabric taut while I painted.
16. I used Jacquard Textile Color in black and a chisel tip paint brush to paint a geometric design. Make sure to put a piece of paper inside the shirt under where you are painting to prevent any paint from seeping through to the back. Once the paint dries, you iron the backside of it to heatset the paint ont he fabric.
Awesome! I love the design!
This is one of my favs :) LOVE!
This is gorgeous! I love the shape of the t-shirt, as well as the graphic. Fabulous.
Hi :) may I ask a few questions? Does the paint chip, fade, or crack after a certain number of washes? What would you say is the best quality paint for this job? Also, since the shirt needs to be stretched to paint, do you wash it to shrink it back? I'm learning how to do this and I'm so stoked, but such a beginner! Thanks for your posts and help! Much, much appreciated.
Quick question… (and I LOVE this pattern and idea, BTW!), It looks like you left the bottom hem unfinished… would it work to do the same type of treatment to the open sides and bottom? And do you think this would work with tshirt material? Thanks!

Snow Skiing September 2, 2020 September 2, 2020
Winter is coming, but don't hold out for future snows
This weekend is predicted to be the coldest of the year and perhaps the coldest we have had in Australia for a few.
Much of central and eastern Australia is bracing itself for temperatures 3-7C below average, with the four-day cold spell likely to bring rain, hail, cold winds and frosts across the country.
Victoria, Tasmania and New South Wales are expected to see the majority of the rainfall and minimum temperatures below zero for large parts of south eastern Australia.
This is great news for our ski resorts, where a much needed dump will establish their snow base. The Bureau of Meteorology is expecting large amounts of snow to fall across Victoria and New South Wales this weekend, with freezing levels dropping to as low as 700m by Sunday.
Predictions from Mountain Watch are expecting a total of 70 cm by Tuesday and Jane's Weather is even suggesting we could get as much as 120 cm by Friday next week.
But it has otherwise been a slow start to the snow season, and my research shows that this is a sign of things to come.
A slow beginning
July 1 this year passed by with New South Wales' Spencers Creek snow depth observations recording just 1 cm of snow. The last time we had so little at this station, which sits at 1830 m, was 0 cm in 1957, as you can see in the chart below. Victorian resorts have had a similar fate this year, relying almost entirely on snow-making to open just a few runs.
The El Niño we are experiencing this year has blocked most of the weaker precipitation fronts reaching the Alps so far. This reminds us of what we experienced in 1997, where only 2 cm of snow remained at the beginning of July at Mount Hotham and Falls Creek after early and heavy snowfalls were received in June.
Even 2006, which was certainly the worst snow season the Australian resorts had seen in the last 30 years, had 26 cm by July at Spencers Creek.
So what's going on with Australian ski seasons?
Research published at the end of last year shows that this could be the new normal for our ski resorts. With climate change causing warmer temperatures across Australia, it is making it harder for snow to fall. El Niño years, like this one, in which high pressure systems dominate our region, make it even harder.
This is especially true for light snowfalls of up to 10 cm, which have experienced a decline in frequency of about five days per decade since 1988. On the other hand, heavy snowfall events that occur in cold snaps like what we are expected to see this weekend have shown no change in frequency.
This change in snowfall patterns means our resorts are going to become ever more reliant on these extreme weather events. Interestingly, some studies are suggesting that we may see an increase in heavy precipitation events across Australia. But whether this translates into snowfalls remains to be seen.
Snow making to the rescue
Like this year, gradual build up of snow depths will become less likely, and fewer light snowfall events throughout the season will make it harder to retain snow already on the ground.
Our resorts are already investing huge amounts of money and resources into snow-making in an effort to provide these top-ups and to maintain good skiing or snowboarding.
Research from 2008 showed that, with a low impact climate change scenario, an increase in snow-making capacity of 11-27% will be required to provide enough snow for skiing and snowboarding by 2020. Under a high impact scenario, snow making efforts would need to increase by 71-200%.
So this weekend, rug up in your winter woollies, and if you are hitting the slopes to make the most of this cold snap, have a run for me!

Is that wheelchair still around?
Somebody needs to pull it out of the Boston Celtics locker room and pour the Lakers in it.
Push them to the airport. Carry them to the plane. Fly them back to safety with bandages and balm.
After two games of the NBA Finals, your heroes are coming home in a heap.
This is no fake. This is a forearm. And an elbow. And a shove. Lots of shoves.
The final images of Sunday's 108-102 Celtics victory were of a different type of green and purple.
The Lakers' faces are green, and their bodies are purple.
The Lakers trail this series two games to none after being embarrassed by the actor who previously used that wheelchair -- Paul Pierce bravely scored 28 points! -- and being beaten up by everyone else.
A toughness that was questioned has been answered. Right now, they're not tough enough.
A youthfulness that was feared has been realized. Right now, their kids are playing like kids.
Yes, the Lakers scored an amazing 31 points in the final eight minutes to cut a 24-point lead to four points.
But, no, it didn't matter, not when they didn't have anybody big and strong enough to stop Pierce from driving the lane and forcing two free throws.
And not when headstrong Sasha Vujacic didn't look for an open Kobe Bryant and threw up a three-point attempt that was blocked in the final seconds to essentially end it.
Their night in 10 seconds.
Their coach in a rage.
Phil Jackson agreed later that his team was pounded, but he didn't agree that it was legal.
he attacked the officials in a rant that will cost him money in a fine, but probably earn him an advantage in future calls.
"I've never seen a game like that in all these years I've coached the Finals," said a man coaching in his 11th Finals. "Unbelievable."
He was angry that the Celtics shot 38 free throws while the Lakers shot 10.
He was really angry that Leon Powe, the Celtics young reserve who scored just four points in the opener, was able to muscle for 21 points while shooting 13 free throws in the process.
He was so mad about Powe, he even mispronounced the kid's name, calling him "Pow," as in "Ka-Pow."
While that would have worked on this night, his name is actually pronounced "Poe," as in Edgar Allan.
"I'm more struck at the fact that Leon Powe gets more foul shots than our whole team does in 14 minutes of play," Jackson said. "That's ridiculous."
Jackson was so mad, he accused the officials and the loud TD Banknorth Garden crowd of conspiring on some sort of black-and-white-striped magic.
"I have no question about the fact that my players got fouled but didn't get to the line," he said.
"It's the illusion that's created. The referees referee an illusion."
"Our guys look like maybe the ball was partially stripped when they were getting raked . . . but it was in the crowd, so the referees let that type of thing go," he said.
I'm not sure what he just said. But whatever he just said, I don't agree.
From my vantage point beneath the basket, it was clear that the Celtics were forcing the action, forcing the momentum, forcing the Lakers to foul.
There was Kevin Garnett, ripping loose rebounds from Pau Gasol, throwing huge picks on Lamar Odom.
There was Pierce blocking Derek Fisher through the lane, elbowing Vladimir Radmanovic out of the paint.
There was everybody bumping Bryant every play, every minute.
The Celtics fought to the basket; the Lakers mostly stayed on the perimeter. The Celtics acted; the Lakers reacted.
Neither of the two Lakers starting forwards, Odom or Radmanovic, drove enough to get to the foul line even once, while center Gasol shot just one free throw.
"I thought we were the team driving in the paint, and that's why we shot 38 free throws," said Celtic Coach Doc Rivers.
Two things to consider as the Finals moves to Los Angeles for as many as three games this week.
First, the Lakers have yet to beat the Celtics this season in four games.
Second, the team hosting the middle three games of the NBA Finals has swept those games just twice in 23 years since the league adopted its current format.
"It's not the end of the world," Bryant said, still calm. "We've come too far to really sweat being down 2-0. We're going to go home and handle our business."
I believe the Lakers must sweep their business at Staples to have a chance of winning the championship.
But don't listen me, I picked them to win the series in five games.
So far, they have been knocked flat in two rounds.

How Easter Island Statues 'Walked' To Their Stations
Sarah Laskow

How were those gigantic Easter Island statues—the moai—moved from the quarry to their final stations? One going theory, popularized by Guns, Germs and Steel author Jared Diamond, has it that they were put on wooden sledges and pulled over a system of log rails. But here's another theory: the statues, ranging from four to 33 feet, weighing as much as 80 tons, walked to their places, as islanders like to say.
National Geographic explains:
Looking at the many moai abandoned there in various stages of completion, Rapu explained how they were engineered to walk: Fat bellies tilted them forward, and a D-shaped base allowed handlers to roll and rock them side to side. Last year, in experiments funded by National Geographic's Expeditions Council, Hunt and Lipo showed that as few as 18 people could, with three strong ropes and a bit of practice, easily maneuver a 10-foot, 5-ton moai replica a few hundred yards. In real life, walking miles with much larger moai would have been a tense business. Dozens of fallen statues line the roads leading away from the quarry. But many more made it to their platforms intact.
Modern-day people may be familiar with this technique from trying to move a heavy bookshelf: you scoot one corner forward, then the other. Here's a video of Hunt, Lipo, and others testing the "statues walking" theory.

The statue does look like it's lumbering along, doesn't it?

Sometimes, it's hard to explain what it's like to be multiracial, like playing Twister with one hand in "White" and the other in "American" and your foot (I almost said "the other," as in hand) in "Filipino." It's hard to explain what it's like when you're Filipino American. It's hard to explain what it's like to be an invisible majority minority.
And when your people finally have a hero that becomes a household name, it makes you feel special. It makes you feel like you could do anything in the world. And for being a part of such a solid, community-oriented culture, it's really, really difficult to know how to feel when that hero says something that hurts so many others.
Yet it's also hard to reconcile your feelings of respect and knowing how hard it is to reconcile your own beliefs with your culture's strong Catholic tradition. I joke about being "culturally Catholic" sometimes, but it's a daily negotiation to interpret the Church's beliefs and proclamations with my own reality.
My heart goes out to my kuyas and ates and titas and titos and so forth and so on who not only struggle with this, but who also struggle with knowing that the culture still has a ways to go in terms of LGBTQ rights and that it affects who they are, their identity, day in and day out.
So please, take a moment, to read this. Because it's so well-written–and I'm proud to say that, in a way, the author is my family, too.


If the socialist government is returned to power your vote today may be the last free individual vote you will ever be given the opportunity to exercise in New Zealand.
When is the Government going to get this message: democracy is not a device to keep the Labour Party in power.
tane hope you don't mind, i pasted this from kiwiblog – thought you might be getting a bit lonely here at hte Very Double Standard!
Inventory I do not think immodesty is necessary. I also wonder if the fact that we were having a right go at the media last week has anything to do with the slow but definite turnaround. Regrdless of our political persuasion – we have tried many tactics and contacted many people about this issue – all in the face of a government that firmly wanted their agenda kept under wraps.
'There's nothing to see, move on'.
We have been subjected to taunts by it supporters tnat the 'people' and 'the media' are not interested in our 'hyperbole'.
We've had pompous a**holes who appear to believe they are able to receive telepathic messages from the Government telling us our concern is pointless, therefore redundant.
We've had 'It's a beltway issue.' rubbed in our faces, and have been accused of wanting to kill the Bill because we are National Party sock-puppets who are only out to 'rort the election' – ie we are dishonest and corrupt, when we are merely concerned citizens trying to preserve our rights.
We've listened to the scratched record claims tht the Bill is designed to stamp out the kind of machinations the EB underwent, but have seen that is BS, and and by implication, Key has been defamed as being party to it and to the next attempt.
Our recognition of the bad drafting, the ill-conceived advice from Val Sim, the recommendatios of the Law Society and the Human Rights Council, have been belittled as 'tin-foil hat paranoia', and as well, those who have criticised us have done so under the pretence that our response has been unworthy of serious debate.
We have been called 'Hollow Men', by people who resemble nothing more than a cracked drum.
So, do not be immodest, my old china, what we have done lately has been superb and maybe difference between us being able to hold our heads up high, and skulking in corners in the coming months.
The EFB is all ABOUT Democracy. The day that a political party can buy its way into office is the day we lose it.
illumiatedtiger, wtf? The EFB is all about regulating everyone's speech. As for buying one's way into office, does $800k knicked from the taxpayer by Labour, or $15m on WFF – "you're better off with Labour" again funded by the taxpayer evidence the fact that Labour did indeed buy its way into office and we lost democracy in 2005?
Yes, the average working Joe with hundreds of thousands of dollars to campaign with is going to have their ability to do so severely restricted. I personally am shocked that the $600,000 I found down the back of the couch and was planning to spend on promoting the concept of a Citizens' Daily Alcohol Requirements and Beer Fridge Subsidy would be ruled out of order by this bill – it's fascism is what it is!
So, Milt, how would you explain ACT's failure to get many votes despite spending millions on election campaigns?
Cos their policies are so damn unpalatable to the public that they needed to spend millions of dollars and focus their election advertising mainly on crime and other non-core issues just to get above 5%?
Perhaps its time to apply some kind of godwins law to kiwiblog. Farrars law, every thread that isn't about the EFB (which admittidly isnt many), the first poster to post the letters EFB automatically looses.
I guess this quote just shows again that after three terms of very modest Social Democratic progress, the forces of the political and economic Right have decided that Labour and allies have been a little too successful at making life fairer for ordinary people.
It would not be hard to imagine an ongoing series of smears and outrageous attacks, seeking (as Matthew Hooton did on Monday morning on Nine to Noon) to portray the government as a reheated Muldoonist administration.
After all, the right seem to have worked out they can't win any more on their merits. I suppose they think trying lying and distortion instead is the next best option!
Jordan – I'm just interested to know when the Right could ever win on its merits?
It certainly sounds as if the 1930s were no different? Perhaps you are speaking of Ancient Greece?
I know the Nats Front Bench is old, but not that old surely?
Yup, socialism was as much a threat to freedom in 1938 as it is today.
And yet, strangely, those ordinary people have not conferred a majority of support on that wonderful party in any opinion poll in the last 18 months. Ungrateful swine!
At the risk of going off-topic, when is National going to put out some policy? Oh and I notice that JK is now saying the Nat's are totally against the EFB (directly contradicting big Ger). I'm assuming this'll be another bait and switch number.
It says a lot about how extremist the right in New Zealand is – and has been – that they regard a strong, well led moderate social democratic government with hysterical loathing. Most of the right wing people who put it about on the web are simplistic neo-liberal half wits; But they do represent only a slightly more virulent strain of the sort of mysogynistic, racist and Hobbesian world view found in far to many of our board rooms.
Its a very, very sad statement on the quality of our business elites.
Yes, that's right. Whenever the public are unanimously opposed to Government action, and a newspaper comes out on the side of the public, it's a massive conspiracy by the Right.
Parrot, National's front bench is several years younger than Labour's.
Prick, you're in a dreamworld. Before yesterday the public had no idea about the EFB. Even now, I'd say most people don't know what it is. Some will have been scared by the Herald's fear campaign, but you can hardly claim there's been some kind of massive grassroots rebellion against fairer electoral law.
Go on, Tane. Keep telling yourself that it's a beltway issue, and see your polling numbers go into free-fall.
After the pledge card theft, I would have thought that Labour's arrogance might have dissipated. But no: instead you're quite happy for Labour to rail-road through the biggest constitutional change in recent history to suit itself, at the expense of everybody else. And you blithely believe the public will let you get away with it.
I really don't believe you will come to terms with how serious this is until long after the fact, Tane. But you've become a hollow man.
Prick, I haven't said it's going to remain a beltway issue. Clearly if the country's largest daily is mounting a heavy campaign to make it an issue then it has the potential to become one. My point is that it's a beatup, not a genuine grassroots revolt as you're suggesting.
And honestly bro, that hollow man stuff's just stupid. I mean, I can see what you're trying to do – take a term the left uses against the Tories and use it against us – but you're just a bit amateur in your execution. I guess that's to be expected when you take your lines from Davey Farrar.
IP – "a hollow man". I've noticed you're using this a lot today – it's like you think it's clever and so you're saying it as much as you can. Unfortunately like you attempts at wit your political analysis misses the mark and is repetitive.
While the Herald article is not a bad coup – it won't take this past the beltway because it's only punters like you who are stupid enough to drive it.
The truth is anyone with any political savvy will steer clear of getting involved in this fiasco because it's a complicated issue that can't be reduced to soundbites and, more importantly, it's an issue that involves a huge mess of vested interests from across the political spectrum and anyone who really pushes to get their position on the record runs the risk of painting themselves into a corner when it comes to the final vote and/or having their own interests in manipulation of the law outed.
Tell the seven hundred people who have written emails to the Herald in the last day about the constitutional travesty that is the electoral finance bill, that it's a beltway issue.
You've become too accustomed to power, Robinsod. You're now taking New Zealand voters for granted. Watch your numbers go into freefall. You're a hollow man, and you can't even justify this shoddy piece of legislation.
I think you got him with that one Prick, well done.
And it's no surprise 700 people have written to the Herald. If they ran a front page scare saying "Helen Clark eats puppies" (preferably with a big picture of a puppy being eaten) they'd get 700 letters on that one too.
Yeah bro that'd be all that power I wield by commenting on blogs. Get a grip IP – and get back to work.
Robinsod, I hate to point it out, but "bro" should have an apostrophe on the end of it.
I am not normally that much of a pedant, but I know it's important to you.
Billy, you obviously ain't street. It's okay, I know it's hard making the transition from Kiwiblog, but you'll get there bro.
Oh and Billy – stay on topic.
Well done, Robinsod. Another fine example of you demonstrating your chops as "a pitbull of the left with a hang-up for correct grammar and spelling". I should have known you would be unable to resist an opportunity to "rip… into every Tory [you] can find".
Billy – are you like being a groupie? Mint, I've never had one before. Are you like, a chick?
Yes, Robinsod. That's it. I am being a groupie. And I am a chick. A really hot one. Like a young Sophia Loren, only hotter. And more left wing.
There is no limit to your self-delusion.
Really? Like a young Sophia Loren??? D'ya think we could like uh, hook up some time Billie? And do you like put out on the first date?
You don't want to do left wing chicks, Robinsod. We always have to consult for hours in University common rooms before coming up with approved positions.

I am trying to add Qunit tests for our MVVM based UI application. I planned to have separate tests.html which will have Qunit test fixtures and acts as test report page. So I am focusing on testing the view models (JS files) of the application. But I have some parts of js files expecting the actual UI components to be present, especially jquery selector calls such as $('#xyz'). How can I test this code, can you please guide me.
The reason I didn't put qunit DIV in main application index.html is, I need to remove these div's automatically as part of build process to prepare release candidate build. Is it common practice to remove these div's automatically as part of build or I can keep another file with same contents as in my index.html and still have test div's which I will not bundle in my production package. Which one is more acceptable practice.


As the kids get older, I'm starting to work more. Hold on. Let me step back for a second. It's difficult for me to work more than I do as a parent. What I mean is that I'm doing other activity besides changing diapers and cooking toddler food. Yes, I had a life and job before they came and I'm very interested in resuming some of those activities again. Very.
So this past weekend, I went off to a business event. I left early on Friday morning and returned in time to pick up the kids from daycare the following Monday afternoon. I was missing in action for almost 4 full days.
I didn't tell the Worm that I was leaving and I didn't tell him when I was coming back. He's at an age where he understands quite a bit, but the man-made concept of time doesn't trigger much neuronal activity. So what did I do? I made the choice not to tell Worm about my trip. I mean, why would I want to stress the little guy both before I leave as well as while I'm gone, right? Right? Please tell me I'm right.
Worm and I are best friends. Every day, he tells me that he loves me. Every day, I hug him and let him know how proud I am of him. Every day, I tell him that I love him in a way that he could never question. Except for last weekend. And Worm wasn't quite himself. Sure, his mother was there to hold him, and squeeze him, and love him. But that's her relationship with the Worm, not mine. She can't take the place of me, just as I couldn't take her's. The human heart just doesn't allow us to replace one another that way.
So this week when I returned to my normal daddy duties and doodies, I was reminded of how much a part of that little boy's life I have become. I'm a fixture to the Worm. Not like a lightswitch, but more like a TV with Curious George episodes playing on it. I'm important.
Worm's been afraid to take his afternoon nap, and though he hasn't said it, I believe he's fearful that I won't be home when he wakes up. During what should be his nap time, he pokes his head out in the living room every 10 minutes to check on me by saying "I just want to give you a hug." or "I want to give you a mooch." This has been going on for over an hour a day. He fears that if he closes his eyes for too long, I'll disappear.
Worm's still not quite recovered from my trip. (Neither am I, by the way.) So I'm working to repair the damage I did by supplying extra hugs and kisses to him.
I don't know where to go with this one. This is a tough spot. I know that I'll be doing more weekend events, but I'm still not sold on telling Worm that I'll be gone since he only understands two forms of time: right now and not right now. Maybe I'll just give up on working and retire now. Maybe I'll take the Worm with me to events to run the cash register or something. Or maybe I'll help Worm disconnect from emotional suffering by getting him a cell phone.
It's official. The Worm has wiggled his way out of his wormhole and into the still of the night.
I'm assuming that the majority of crib escapes happen under complete darkness. As a parent, I imagine rolling over in the middle of the night and opening my eyes to note the time on the bedside clock. Instead of numbers, I see a set of piercing eyes hovering 3 feet off the ground. I jump to the other side of the mattress and huddle behind my wife to protect my body and limbs from attack. I look harder and see disheveled hair and a shiny object. I yelp…in a manly way…as a signal for everyone in the house to wake up and run for safety. Then I realize that it's only the Worm, who is standing there clutching a night-night book with a reflective mirror cover. It's not Chucky coming to take my life, but my own child who has broken out of his cage crib.
Worm's clever. He's been milking this crib thing for all it's worth. The dude's so big now that if he leaned over the railing, he'd probably fall out. I tried to teach him how to climb out about 6 months ago, but he wasn't having any of it. He feigned weakness and lack of coordination. It was a very believable, Oscar quality performance. I bought it hook, line, and sinker. I left the idea alone afterwards.
Realistically, there's no reason for him to leave, once he's put to bed. Every beckon call is immediately answered with a "Yes, sir? More ice for your water? Could we bring you some games for your evening pleasure? Or perhaps a night time book? A song? 10 touch-me's? A foot rub? Maybe we could offer you some freshly peeled and sliced apples?" When he calls to use the potty, he's answered within seconds. Sometimes, he'll get carried straight to the bathroom toilet, his feet never having to touch the floor. Some people will pay big money for this kind of room service…and I think he knows he's getting it for free!
He's 3 and a half now. It's probably about time for him to move out of the crib and into a bed. Some people think we waited too long, others think we should wait until he's 18. I'm just happy I got to be the first to see him climb out. He just called me into his room to take him to the potty, and I was standing there talking to him. He flashed a wry smile and began to survey his surroundings. Then all of a sudden, he hoisted himself up and out. As I said before, this is something that I think most parents don't get to see when it happens the very first time. So, I think it's pretty cool. Seeing the pride in his face as he successfully swung both legs over the top and plunked each foot down on the carpet of freedom was awesome. We exchanged high fives, cigars and discussed other techniques should he ever find himself trapped inside a crib against his own will.
I got video of the encore presentation, as I was clapping and screaming for more! He did not disappoint. BTW, we are still working on doing pee pee and poopie on the same potty visit.


Wow still have the ultraviolet afterglow after it was shutdown!
What kind of light is this?Can't tell from the pictures.Does have an interesting "afterglow".
I don't think that the HID flashlights, uses the same MH lamps of HID car headlights. The legal MH lamps for HID car headlights, are 35W Na-Sc lamps with or without mercury. HID flashlight, may use different wattage. Some of them may not even use xenon as a starting gas, but just argon.

San Antonio Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich has won a lot of games in the NBA. Believe it or not, he has actually enjoyed a good number of them along the way. Tuesday night against the Phoenix Suns was just not one of them.
With less than 10 seconds remaining inside the AT&T Center, and the score tied at 124, veteran forward Rudy Gay started to make his move. He took Suns forward Josh Jackson left and forced guard Kelly Oubre Jr. to switch on him. Then, Gay caught Oubre sleeping for just a split second, rose up, and drilled a game-winning jumper to give the Spurs the victory.
The shot was pure poetry.

The celebration was on. Gay casually trotted away after the buzzer-beater, but then was soon mobbed by his teammates.
LaMarcus Aldridge led the way 29 points and 14 rebounds, while six other Spurs — Davis Bertans (18), Marco Belinelli (17), Gay (16), Derrick White (14), Patty Mills (12) and Bryn Forbes (12) — scored in double figures during the 126-124 home win.

It was enough to fight off Devin Booker's 38-point performance and spoil the Suns' road party, but it wasn't enough to please Popovich, who turned 70 earlier this week.
In fact, it was quite the opposite.

"We were really fortunate to win the game. I thought that they outplayed us, out-coached us, out-physicaled us, out-executed us. We had no respect for them or for the game. We didn't play with each other. It was a pathetic performance and Phoenix got robbed."
— San Antonio Spurs coach Gregg Popovich
That was all Pop had to say in his postgame interview. He turned around and went back into the locker room. The legendary head coach has never been a man of too many words, but that was definitely some harsh and tough-love criticism following an exciting win.
Only Gregg Popovich would be angry after a game-winner, but that's also what makes him great.

Genetic structure, divergence and admixture of Han Chinese, Japanese and Korean populations
Open access Genetic structure, divergence and admixture of Han Chinese, Japanese and Korean populations, by Wang, Lu, Chung, and Xu, Hereditas (2018) 155:19.
Abstract (emphasis mine):
Han Chinese, Japanese and Korean, the three major ethnic groups of East Asia, share many similarities in appearance, language and culture etc., but their genetic relationships, divergence times and subsequent genetic exchanges have not been well studied.
We conducted a genome-wide study and evaluated the population structure of 182 Han Chinese, 90 Japanese and 100 Korean individuals, together with the data of 630 individuals representing 8 populations wordwide. Our analyses revealed that Han Chinese, Japanese and Korean populations have distinct genetic makeup and can be well distinguished based on either the genome wide data or a panel of ancestry informative markers (AIMs). Their genetic structure corresponds well to their geographical distributions, indicating geographical isolation played a critical role in driving population differentiation in East Asia. The most recent common ancestor of the three populations was dated back to 3000 ~ 3600 years ago. Our analyses also revealed substantial admixture within the three populations which occurred subsequent to initial splits, and distinct gene introgression from surrounding populations, of which northern ancestral component is dominant.
These estimations and findings facilitate to understanding population history and mechanism of human genetic diversity in East Asia, and have implications for both evolutionary and medical studies.
Population level phylogenetic Tree and Principal component analysis (PCA). (A) The maximum likelihood tree was constructed based on pair-wise FST matrix. And the marked number are bootstrap value; (B) The top two PCs of individuals representing six East Asian populations, mapped to their corresponding geographic locations (generated by R 2.15.2 and Microsoft Excel 2010)
It is obvious that the genetic difference among the three East Asian groups initially resulted from population divergence due to pre-historical or historical migrations. Subsequently, different geographical locations where the three populations are located, mainland of China, Korean Peninsular and Japanese archipelago, respectively, apparently facilitated population differentiation due to physical isolation and independent genetic drift. Our estimations of population divergence time among the three groups, 1.2~ 3.6 KYA, are largely consistent with known history of the three populations and those related. However, considering that recent admixture could have reduced genetic difference between populations, it is likely the divergence time was underestimated.
We detected substantial gene flow among the three populations and also from the surrounding populations. For example, based on our analysis with the F3 test, Korean received gene flow from Han Chinese and Japanese, and gene flow also happened between Han Chinese and Japanese (Additional file 12: Table S3). These gene flows are expected to have reduced the genetic differentiation between the three ethnic groups. On the other hand, we also detected considerable gene flow from surrounding populations to the three populations studied. For instance, an ancestral population represented by Ryukyuan have contributed greater to Japanese than to Han Chinese, while southern ethnic group like Dai have contributed more to continent populations than to island and peninsula populations. Contrary to the gene flow among the three populations, these gene flows from surrounding populations are expected to have increased genetic difference among the three populations if they occurred independently and from different source populations. According to our results, the major source of gene flow to the three ethnic groups were substantially different, for example, the major source of gene flow to Han Chinese was from southern ethnic groups, the major source of gene flow to Japanese was from southern islands, and the major source of gene flow to Korean were from both mainland and islands. Therefore, those gene flows might have significantly contributed to further genetic differentiation of the three populations.
The three populations have similar but not identical demographical history; they all experience a strong population expansion in the last 20,000 years. However, according to different geographic distribution, their effective population size and population expansion are different.
Although based on modern populations, the study is interesting in light of the potential implications for a Macro-Altaic proposal.

Austronesian influence and Transeurasian ancestry in Japanese: A case of farming/language dispersal, by Martine Robbeets, Max Planck Institute for the Science of Human History.
In this paper, I propose a hypothesis reconciling Austronesian influence and Transeurasian ancestry in the Japanese language, explaining the spread of the Japanic languages through farming dispersal. To this end, I identify the original speech community of the Transeurasian language family as the Neolithic Xinglongwa culture situated in the West Liao River Basin in the sixth millennium bc. I argue that the separation of the Japanic branch from the other Transeurasian languages and its spread to the Japanese Islands can be understood as occurring in connection with the dispersal of millet agriculture and its subsequent integration with rice agriculture. I further suggest that a prehistorical layer of borrowings related to rice agriculture entered Japanic from a sister language of proto-Austronesian, at a time when both language families were still situated in the Shandong-Liaodong interaction sphere.
Classification of the Transeurasian languages according to Robbeets ( forthcoming)
Another interesting anthropological model to validate with future genomic analyses, although I was never convinced about a grouping (let alone reconstructible proto-language) beyond Micro-Altaic languages.
NOTE. The Max Planck Institute may be a great source of scientific advancement, but in Linguistics you can see from the projects Indo-European languages originate in Anatolia (2012) and A massive migration from the steppe brought Indo-European languages to Europe (2015) (the last one referring to the Corded Ware culture, associated with the study by Haak et al. 2015) that they have not got it quite right with Proto-Indo-European… I like the traditional approach of this paper, though, including a thorough assessment of archaeological and linguistic details.

Article behind paywall, Whole-sequence analysis indicates that the Y chromosome C2*-Star Cluster traces back to ordinary Mongols, rather than Genghis Khan, by Wei, Yan, Lu, et al. Eur J Hum Genet (2018); 26:230–237
The Y-chromosome haplogroup C3*-Star Cluster (revised to C2*-ST in this study) was proposed to be the Y-profile of Genghis Khan. Here, we re-examined the origin of C2*-ST and its associations with Genghis Khan and Mongol populations. We analyzed 34 Y-chromosome sequences of haplogroup C2*-ST and its most closely related lineage. We redefined this paternal lineage as C2b1a3a1-F3796 and generated a highly revised phylogenetic tree of the haplogroup, including 36 sub-lineages and 265 non-private Y-chromosome variants. We performed a comprehensive analysis and age estimation of this lineage in eastern Eurasia, including 18,210 individuals from 292 populations. We discovered that the origin of populations with high frequencies of C2*-ST can be traced to either an ancient Niru'un Mongol clan or ordinary Mongol tribes. Importantly, the age of the most recent common ancestor of C2*-ST (2576 years, 95% CI = 1975–3178) and its sub-lineages, and their expansion patterns, are consistent with the diffusion of all Mongolic-speaking populations, rather than Genghis Khan himself or his close male relatives. We concluded that haplogroup C2*-ST is one of the founder paternal lineages of all Mongolic-speaking populations, and direct evidence of an association between C2*-ST and Genghis Khan has yet to be discovered.
This is a great example of the potential mistake that one can make in assessing leading clans of population expansions from the perspective of the renown case of the Uí Néill clan's expansion in Ireland.
Just some days ago I wrote about the first Hungarian dynasty's haplogroup R1a, and the potential association of other Ugric-speaking clans with R1a subclades, so let's wait and see if future papers on other ancient Hungarian clans and Hungarian settlers bring surprises…

It have been awesome Moscow evening. So warm weather with bronze sunset is rare for middle of autumn. Yuriy is professional stunter and we had only half hour for photoset. Also was dificult to do tricks on a new rear tire, but anyway we did it.
I did a couple pictures during my bussines trip in Almaty Kazakhstan. Nastia and Asem had raded by the road to the alpine stadium Mideo.
I wanted to write some post about the planet, the universe, the fate of the World Cup 2018, but this is never mind. Moto. Summer. Girl.
One more publishing in MOTO EXPERT MAGAZINE RUSSIA. I spend a lot time in my main job and have not a time for photo. I wish i cannot decide it problem in a moment, but I trust that during summer I will take a new level.
Ho-ho-ho! One more publishing in Russian MOTO EXPERT MAGAZINE. It was nice autumn day, smiling bike owner and you can find post about it's bike in my blog early.

Q: Why after double clicking in a field displays data in angularjs page I am fetching data from angularjs controller:
    $scope.findEmployeeById = function() {

        if( !angular.isUndefined($location.search().employeeId) ) {
            $.getJSON( servicefindEmployeeById+$location.search().employeeId, function( data ) {
                $scope.employee = data;

            });
        }

    }

And I render the $scope.employee on employee-detail.html page, this way:
<html>
    <body ng-init="findEmployeeById()">
            <input type="text" ng-model="employee.firstName"/>
    </body>
</htm>

Problem Statement:
  It displays data only after I click in the field and then click outside the field.

Please enlighten why I am facing the problem?
Thanks.

A: Problem:
Since you are using $.getJSON and wrapping your angular $scope inside it, the digest cycle is unable to read that change.
Solution 1 (preferred):
Use, angular's $http instead of $.getJSON
For json you can use jsonp method type.
$scope.findEmployeeById = function() {
    if( !angular.isUndefined($location.search().employeeId) ) {
        $http({method: 'JSONP', url: servicefindEmployeeById+$location.search().employeeId}).
            then(function(data, status) {
                $scope.employee = data;
            }).
            catch(function(data, status) {
                console.log(data || "Request failed");
        });
    }
}

Here is the documentation for $http

Solution 2 (not preferred for performance reasons still may work):
If you want to use $.getJSON then, you can use $scope.$apply and wrap $scope.employee = data; inside it.
$scope.findEmployeeById = function() {
    if( !angular.isUndefined($location.search().employeeId) ) {
        $.getJSON( servicefindEmployeeById+$location.search().employeeId, function( data ) {
            $scope.$apply(function () {
                   $scope.employee = data;
            });
        });
    }
}

Note for solution2:

The $scope.$apply(function(){ $scope.employee = data; }); runs only
  for employee since I wrapped in a function, and it is way better
  compared to  $scope.$apply() which runs the complete digest cycle
  again.

A: inject $timeout into your controller
$scope.findEmployeeById = function() {

    if( !angular.isUndefined($location.search().employeeId) ) {
        $.getJSON( servicefindEmployeeById+$location.search().employeeId, function( data ) {
            $timeout(function(){
                $scope.employee = data;
            });

        });
    }

}

Or you can use $scope.$apply()
$scope.findEmployeeById = function() {

        if( !angular.isUndefined($location.search().employeeId) ) {
            $.getJSON( servicefindEmployeeById+$location.search().employeeId, function( data ) {
                $scope.$apply(function(){
                    $scope.employee = data;
                 });
            });
        }

    }

Technology has grown so much that it becomes an integral part of humans' life. Technology now is on course to change the world. We might be able to deal with certain diseases that were previously untreatable in the coming years. It will also revolutionize the way we do what we usually do. Groundbreaking, sometimes earthshattering, advancements continue to pop up every year at least. Biohax International has been campaigning for their multipurpose microchips and people in Sweden are all excited to get one of these rice grain-sized implants. The implant costs $180 and insertion is made with a syringe into a recipient's thumb. What's so good about these chips anyway that more than 4000 have embraced them? For starter, the chip will help you connect with your homes, offices, and gyms wirelessly just by simply swiping your hand. In addition, the chip may contain other information such as e-tickets for train trip, social media profile, and emergency contact details.
A breakthrough in embryonic science was achieved by Dutch scientist when they created synthetic mouse embryos that required neither sperm nor eggs. The process is complicated and may require a whole new article to be properly explained. But the catch is real with this one; with this development, infertility research can get the help it needs for all this years.
Obvious, an art collective in Paris developed an AI which eventually goes on to create a painting on its own. Said painting was sold at an auction for $432,000. The painting in question is titled Portrait of Edmond Belamy and was estimated by to be able to sell only for at least $7,000. Ox, a startup company in San Carlos, California, created what is basically a robot farm. The farm involves two machines that handle planting, caring for, and harvesting the produce on their own. By the year 2030, Sweden seeks to have fully relieved itself of fossil-fuel dependency. A project called eRoadArlanda has just been deployed on a road near Stockholm that makes said road capable of charging electric vehicles as they go through. A machine called Skywater was invented by a California-based team dubbed Skysource/Skywater Alliance. What Skywater can do is truly promising as it is capable of producing hundreds of gallons of fresh drinking water—out of the thin air. Running on either biofuels or solar power, the machine condenses water vapor from the air to create drinking water.

3 Babies, 3 Years, 1 Brewery
Jun 17, 2019 | Brewery Profiles
(Winchester Brew Works' Bonnie Landy and Holly Redding)
It's hard enough running an upstart craft brewery in a town known for its apple sauce products and country music legend Patsy Cline, but when Bonnie Landy and Holly Redding gave birth to Winchester Brew Works in 2016 they soon discovered making babies would be as much a part of the plan as makin' beer.
"We started planning the brewery back in 2014," explained Holly Redding, whose primary focus is on marketing and running the tasting room. "Having babies was certainly not part of the plan but based on our ages and our desire to start families we knew it was probably going to end up being the case. It wasn't written into the business plan."
Redding had her first child in 2016 just three weeks for the brewery's soft opening.
"We were scrambling to open at the end of my pregnancy and trying to do everything ourselves," she said.
Child care is a big part of any working mom's concerns. Some women have family members to call upon, while others seek-out local their local church or often costly professional daycare centers. Others — especially if self-employed — can have their infant at work with them. Babies in a production brewery, as you can imagine, is not the same as having the wee ones crawling around the kitchen floor at home.
So what option works best for Redding and Landy?
"When we were opening, I had a pre-mature baby," said Redding. "I had to spend more time with him at home. I was still living in Harrisonburg at the time, which is an hour away from the brewery, so I wasn't coming back and forth too often with the baby. My husband helped out a lot at home with the newborn."
Redding made a point to work special events behind the tasting room bar.
Once her child was a few months old, she had a nanny come to the house a couple of days a week. At five months, she enrolled her child in full-time daycare.
Holly gave birth to her second child in April 2019 and we implement a similar process for childcare.
Bonnie Landy had her first child in August 2018 and ended up bringing the baby to the brewery. She started full-time daycare in April of this year. For the sake of running a business, it was important for the dynamic women not to give birth at exactly the same time.
"We kind of joked with Holly and her husband that we had to stagger them no matter what because while I was 'on maternity leave' — if you can call it that because there's never really maternity leave when you have a business — but when I was doing a lot less for the brewery Holly had to pick up the slack."
Landy began as the only brewer for Winchester Brew Works for its first two years. Among the nano brewery's beer selection are Paddle Boat Pils, Coconut Canoe Love (cream ale), #glamping Key Lime Shandy, Winchester Wheat, Over Look Double IPA, Old Rag Rye, Cascade Falls IPS, and Stargazing Black Lager.
When Landy became six months pregnant, the daily brewing responsibilities were passed on to an employee.
"I'm not physically doing much of the brewing anymore," said Landy, "but I'm still shepherding along the batches and making sure everything is coming out the way we want it to and organizing the brewing schedule."
While Landy is still considering another child sometime in the future, Redding has made a proclamation.
"I have no plans for any more children," said Redding.
Both Redding and Landy said they'd be thrill if their children follow in mom's boot-steps and make Winchester Brew Works a longtime, multi-generational family business.

Suzanne Anton concedes defeat at somber NPA headquarters
City will have a "more balanced" council now, she assures party followers.
Darren Fleet
Photos by Ewa Chruscicka
2011 Vancouver Municipal Election: The evening started with cheers and ended in tears.
Soon after 8 p.m. and the close of voting, the NPA faithful came streaming into the first-floor conference room at Vancouver's prestigious Fairmont Hotel and parked themselves anxiously in front of two large screens awaiting the first results.
An unexpected gasp of celebration swept the room as early polls showed Suzanne Anton, the party's mayoral candidate, and many NPA contenders in the lead. There was a sense of upset in the air. The crowed was amped.
The excitement did not last long. As the poll count continued from the east, north and south, Vision's electoral colours began to paint the City of Vancouver green, pushing NPA front-runners further down the list. By 10:30 p.m., when media feeds on the screens began showing extended clips of Vision HQ, only the shocked and disbelieving continued to watch.
"We did not achieve our objectives, but we achieved some of them. We have nothing to be sorry about," NPA campaign chair Peter Armstrong told the gathering as he prepared to introduce Anton. The crowd responded with a loud cheer, followed by a short round of boos after Armstrong acknowledged Vision Vancouver's Robertson as the winner.
"No we are gracious, no, we're respectful," he told the crowd.
Anton admits defeat
For many of the wan faces in the room it was hard to believe, let alone watch. Over the past two weeks, pundits across Vancouver pointed to a wave of momentum shifting to the Anton camp as Robertson was lambasted for his handling of Occupy Vancouver.
"Cautiously optimistic" was a phrase several NPA hopefuls used as they mingled in the crowd, though as the evening wore on "woefully optimistic" would have been more appropriate.
In the end, it was apparent that Occupy Vancouver and questions about Robertson's ability to lead had little impact on voters. Only two NPA councilors passed the bar, along with two park board commissioners and three school trustees. Despite the loss, the crowd gave Anton a triumphant round of applause and cheers as she conceded defeat.
"I am glad there is still a party going on here," Anton said as she took the stage.
"I am so happy that some of our team was elected and I must say I am disappointed that more of our team did not get elected.
"Because of you, because of everybody's help here, there will be more balance now at City Hall. I must say, being there and not having people second your motions was a challenge … and it did mean that things like the Stanley Cup riot didn't get debated and Occupy Vancouver never got debated. Now there will be debate at City Hall."
Anton spoke for about 10 minutes, thanking the city, praising the political process, plugging taxpayer rights and lamenting that Vision wouldn't be taking up the streetcar her party put forward as an election promise. She also pointed to a growing "north-south" divide in Vancouver politics, the opposite of traditional wisdom that Vancouver has an overarching "east-west" gap.
Closing out her speech, Anton invited her husband and children on stage, hugging each of them. With tears in her eyes, she signed off to the crowd saying:
"I do thank the citizens of Vancouver for having allowed me, for having voted for me, three times for the park board, twice on council, to serve this city. It has been an honour and a privilege and I am most most grateful for it. Thank you very much."

Inspired by one of our favorite bloggers over at Goodeness Gracious, we're sharing a yummy recipe that's easy to make ahead and freeze. Cris will be sharing some great recipes in the coming days for her FREEZE-quel - the sequel to her FREEZE-O-RAMA, as you may remember.
This recipe was sent to us by Heather Bartlett of Panama City, Florida and was originally published in our book, Ready, Set, Eat! In case it's not in your collection yet, let us tell you why this is a must-have.
Not only does it include a whole chapter of freezer goodies and another of all 30-minutes-or-less meals, it also has a chapter of "plan-overs" where you can cook once and eat twice. PLUS, you'll love the chapters full of slow-cooker recipes and one-dish dinners...it's one of our favorite titles since it has a little bit of everything. It all adds up to less time in the kitchen!
For this dish, just add a cup of rice and two cups of rice to serve it up quick and fresh...super simple!
Combine all ingredients except rice and water; mix well. Spoon into a freezer-safe container and freeze, or spoon into a large saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat; add rice and water. Simmer, covered, over low heat for 20 minutes, or until rice is tender. Serves 4.
Thaw overnight in refrigerator. Spoon into a large saucepan; follow cooking instructions above, adding rice and water as directed.

Q: pdflatex renders document with all dashes in bold I have proceeded a new installation of LaTeX (in a new system: Ubuntu 12.04), I was installing from tug.org. Previously I was using TeX Live installed by apititude, on Ubuntu 10.04.
I'm using Kile as editor, xdvi for dvi, Okular for pdf files.
In all my LaTeX files I was using encoding utf-8x (\usepackage[utf8x]{inputenc}). In the new installation I was getting error message from inputenc: utf-8x definition not found. I've found that utf-8x is outdated, so I've changed to utf-8 and it worked.
When I run command latex (view with xdvi) the dashes are normal. When I run pdflatex, the dashes are in bold and whole text doesn't look nice. Here is the screenshot of a part of the document:

Move to a small tourist city in southern B.C. and own this established restaurant in a historic building. The numbers are great and the hours are civilized. There is an owner's suite in back to start. You will love living here and soon want to buy a house and set down roots. Great food and sophisticated decor add to the ambiance and lots of opportunity to expand the already great business...see web-site for pictures.
