Five simple, sensitive and precise spectrophotometric and chemometric methods were used for simultaneous determination of Simvastatin (SM) and Sitagliptin (SIT) in their pure powdered forms and in the tablets. The proposed methods are the extended ratio subtraction method (EXRSM), ratio difference method (RDSM), mean centering of ratio spectra method (MCR) and chemometric methods, namely principal component regression (PCR) and partial least squares (PLS). In EXRSM; SM was determined at 237.5 nm, while SIT was determined at 267 nm, in RDSM; the difference in amplitudes at 237.5 and 245.5 nm was used for SM and 263.5 and 248.0 nm for SIT, while in MCR; SM and SIT were determined at 239.0 and 273.0 nm, respectively. PCR and PLS are factor based multivariate methods which utilize the whole spectra of SM and SIT. The developed methods were successfully applied for the determination of the studied drugs in their bulk powder, laboratory prepared mixtures and in tablets. All validation parameters of the developed methods were determined. The obtained results were statistically compared with each other along with a reported method.

I have been looking forward to this weekend as Brian and I are hosting a fundraiser to raise money for AARCS today. If you live in the Calgary area and are free today from 12-2, come out to the Saddledome at the Avison Young Club Entrance. Meet the Calgary Flames, their better halves, their fur babies and meet some adoptable pets! Get your photo taken and receive autographs from the players, raffles with great prizes, Flames dog merchandise, the Tailgate Grill and much more! All proceeds will go to the Alberta Animal Rescue Crew Society.
In a medium bowl, combine ground gingersnap cookies and coconut oil. Place 1/3 of cookie mixture into the bottom of your trifle glass. Gently press crumbs to form an even layer of crust.
In a large bowl with an electric mixer, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add pumpkin, vanilla, sugar, maple syrup and pumpkin pie spice. Beat until well combined and creamy.
For the coconut whipped topping, open the can of coconut milk and scoop the top layer of white, fatty part into a decent sized mixing bowl and discard the coconut water. Blend the chunks of coconut milk with a hand mixer on high speed for 15-20 seconds, just until the mixture turns to liquid. Sift in the powdered sugar and mix until combined. Add the vanilla extract and blend on high speed for 1-2 minutes, until light and creamy.
Use a spatula to fold in half of the whipped topping into the pumpkin mixture. Gently combine until no streaks remain.
To assemble the trifle pipe or spoon a layer of pumpkin cheesecake onto the cookie crust followed by a layer of whipped topping. Repeat layers until your trifle reaches the top of your jar or glasses if doing indiviuals servings.
Store trifle in the refrigerator until ready to serve. If desired, garnish with pecans, walnuts, sprinkles and crumbled gingersnap cookie.
There are a a ton of protein bars on the market and the majority of them are loaded with ingredients that I can't even pronounce. Many are just glorified candy bars to be honest, and I know this from working in the industry for years (I have probably taste tested the majority of what's out there).
There are a few that you can buy with simple ingredients but all in all it is much better to make your own from scratch. They will be less in calories, sugar and your body will thank you.
I have made a lot of variations of protein bars in my day, but these babies are out of this world. I made them the other night and my husband Brian looked at me and said, "These are the best things you've ever made…outrageous". He crushed all 6 bars by the next morning lol. No baking required and they are super simple!
Mix together the protein powder (I used vanilla), almond milk, honey and almond butter until blended.
Add in the coconut flour, oats and shredded coconut. The consistency should be firm enough to mold into bars…if not add in some more protein powder.
Shape the mixture into 6 bars and set aside.
Melt the chocolate (I used Enjoy Life chocolate chips) in the microwave for about 1 min or 1:30 minutes, or melt in a glass bowl over boiling water.
Coat the tops of each bar with the melted chocolate.

"Just Mercy" Film Review
by Theo Fisher November 1, 2019 March 15, 2020
Leave a Comment on "Just Mercy" Film Review
Michael B. Jordan and Jamie Foxx combine to elevate director Destin Daniel Cretton's ("Short Term 12") retelling of the wrongful imprisonment of Walter "Johnny D" McMillian.
This story is one unfortunately all too familiar to the American judicial system, but one who's specifics the masses may not be too familiar with. We follow the story of the wrongfully convicted Walter "Johnny D" McMillian (played here by the subtly sublime Jamie Foxx). A family man who, in 1987, was arrested and charged with the brutal killing of 18-year-old Ronda Morrison, despite his stone-cold alibi (McMillian was at a fish fry among family, friends and — believe it or not — a police officer). On the other side of the metal bars is Jordan's Bryan Stevenson, founder and director of the Equal Justice Initiative (EJI), which over the last 30 years has overturned a number of wrongful convictions for those unfairly placed on death row. Stevenson, along with his Director of Operations Eva Ansley (Brie Larson), as you've probably already guessed, take on the case of "Johnny D."
There's a high degree of simplicity and safety in this dot-to-dot-esque movie. And that's not necessarily a bad thing, especially for a film that has a huge responsibility to not only tell an individual story of injustice and pain, but also to enlighten its audience to the torture felt by those who have been wrongfully sentenced to death.
Jordan turns in the usual passionate and sharp performance, seen time and time again on screen, from "Fruitvale Station" and "Black Panther" to the "Creed" duology. As fresh-faced lawyer Stevenson, Jordan is measured, yet passionate, while yet again displaying his trademark physical acting, none more so than when he first visits McMillian.
And as McMillian, Jamie Foxx undoubtedly turns in his best performance since "Django Unchained." As "Johnny D," incarcerated not on lawful grounds, but on the false testimony fabricated by the Alabama sheriff, Tom Tate, Foxx is never better than when he starts to believe he could be released —most notably in his exchanges with Jordan. The hope builds in his eyes clear as day before the film's climax (inevitable as it is) leaves a lump in the throat.
As mentioned above, the film has a responsibility to remain truthful to those it explores, meaning its writing, direction and score take a back seat to the raw emotion of the story. There's no flashy, quotable dialogue, and Cretton is not trying out-there directorial techniques in order to entertain; he leaves that to his stars — except for one of the most viscerally moving scenes of the year.
The scene in question is an extremely tough watch. It centers around Herb Richardson, a death row inmate imprisoned after his PTSD led to him making an explosive that killed a young girl. Played by Rob Morgan, Herb's storyline is a central part to the film's first hour, as we learn about the struggles he's faced since returning from the war, and how his lack of proper (or any) legal representation has ultimately and tragically led him to his death. The scene in question is rousing, stirring, chilling and downright frightening. From its riveting sound created by Herb's former inmates as they stand in defiant support, to Cretton's decision to cut between his three stars, this scene (without trying to spoil it) is one leathered with the injustice that Bryan and his team have fought for over 30 years now to overturn.
If there is a gripe to be had with the film it has to be the (almost) waste of Larson, who is never really given license to shine, but either way, the film belongs to Foxx and Morgan.
This film presents itself in a basic shell, but with powerful performances to drive it to its conclusion. The subject matter on its own makes it a must-see.
"Just Mercy" hits theaters January 10, 2020.

J: Can you all, each one, tell a little bit about Yourselves, for ex when did you start with music? Where in japan you are from? What instrument(s) you play, or have played before, and if there are any musicians or bands you admire?
R: I'm Ryo, the bassist. When I started with music…. Well it started like an interest when was about 17 or 18 years old. There has also been periods when I haven't done anything with music at all. I really started with music, oh by the way, I'm originally from Hamamatsu, Shizuoka Prefecture. I arrived from there when I was about 22-23 years old, and that's when I met him (referring to YuI). So well it was the first real band for me, after I arrived in Tokyo, and it was Vagu*Project. And we have been doing this since then.
J: How did you all three meet?
R: How we came to know each other? I met YuI at an Izakaya (japanese style restaurant). We had never met before, and didn't know each other at all. But after meeting each other for a few times, we came to know each other. Then one time, we were chatting about nothing in particular, we just decided ' let's go' and we formed Vagu*Project.
Originally we were 4 members. YuI only played guitar back then, but then when the original drummer and vocalist left the band, YuI started both vocals and guitar . We did it like a two member band. Tokarefu (Shinya) was already playing in a band called 中国釣具店 (Chinese fish tackle shop).
J: Ryo-san, Do you play anything else but bass?
R: Yes, I tried to play a little bit of folk guitar, but I cannot play it well yet.
J: But do you like it?
R: Well, actually I like to sing, but I'n not good at it, so…well it doesn't work.
J: What kind of music do you like to listen to?
R: It differs from time to time, but… lately… oh well not only lately, I have liked this band for a long time. I like this Japanese band called 'Kuroyume" (黒夢) a lot. I like them now, and I liked them over a long period of time.
J: Ok so how about you YuI-san, when did you start with music?
Y: First time I came in contact with music was at preschool during Yugikai, and my preschool was the first in Japan to have synthesizers .. so that's how it began.
J: So you have actually played music since preschool?
J: So how about the singing ?
J: What bands or music do you like to listen to ?
J: When did you Tokarefu-san start playing music?
T: When I was 12 I listened to Aerosmith's album "Nine Lives" and started liking music. First I was thinking I should play drums, but I couldn't really play drums at home. During this time I saw a performance by hide from X-Japan and when I saw him play guitar I thought "To play guitar is the only alternative" :D and that's how I came to play the guitar.
J: And you have played guitar ever since?
T: Yes exactly; since then I have played guitar. When I turned 15, I started to play in bands for real, and came to Tokyo and here I have had gigs at LIVE houses.
J: So where are you from originally then?
and when I was playing with them, I came to meet Vagu*Project and got a chance to play with them. And since then it's been like "Do you want play with us?" , and I've been saying "Sure!".
J: Do you still listen to Aerosmith, hide and X-Japan?
and Ken Ishii ケン・イシイ .I have been listening to that kind of music a lot lately.
J: YuI-san, so where are you coming from?
J: How came you named your band Vagu*Project?
Y: Japanese children say 'Baguru' about problems related to digital toys, like when they play games or are using computers.
and in English Bagu (Bug), is an insect, right?
We wanted to have a unique name that didnt exist before, so we changed the B to a V, and created a new word. That's how it became Vagu.Then the drummer (ex-member of the band) wanted to incorporate the word 'project', so that's how we came up with the name "Vagu*Project".
J: How would you describe your music for someone who never listened to you before?
R: Hmm… Our band, Vagu*Project havent really wanted to be tied to one genre or kind of music, like onlu doing rock, ballads or enka. We want to be part of a new genre or style, like the 'Ora Ora' style or Ora Ora Kei ( オラオラ)as it would be in Japanese.
We want to be perceived as being accessible to all, and everywhere. Thats why for ex we dont have any choreography for our live performances. We want people to be able to listen to us freely. And that people who like us, will listen to us.
J: So if you have to explain your music with a few words how would you then describe it?
Y: Can we use Kanji?
It is Buddha's words. The ego exists alone with Self Conceit , in heaven and on Earth.
J: Can you tell us a little bit how you went about to record your albums?
R: You mean how we managed to record them?
J: Yeah, Maybe you can tell us a little bit how you were able to do it?
R: So how we did the recording?
J: Yeah, For ex. Did you have a studio available?
R: Well Vagu*Project is not signed with a label, or have any kind of sponsor, so we have produced it all on our own. We have funded recodring studio time on our own from places that rent out. We practiced there and recorded, Its mainly YuI who composes our songs and writes the lyrics. We do the recording on our own and get the stuff we need. And then the editing of the album or so, we pay a company to do that for us.
And if you ask us from where we get the money, well we have to make it on our own, so whatever we can make from Live house gigs, and whatever money customer pay, we structure and budget our expenses.
J: Have you had any Live gigs outside of Tokyo?
Y: It's all places in Japan, but we have played in Niigata, Saitama, Kanagawa, Chiba and Shizuoka.
J: Does vagu*Project have any specific goals for this year?
R: Goals.. hmm Well we would like to step up to the next level, and we would like to have a One-man Live. We have had many lives with others now, but we have only played as one band among others not yet had a One man so that is our goal for this year.
Y: You mean how far we would like to go?
T: I knew u would say that….


Gladhearted Disciples starts with an indisputable yet often ignored reality: In a post-modern, post-Christian world, we can no longer attract people by convincing them of our "truth." We must instead embody the Gospel in such clear and compelling ways that they will be attracted to our way of life. This is the true measure of discipleship. Folmsbee provides a template for the spiritual formation of hopeful, grace-filled, kingdom-focused disciples who represent God's love in the world.
Overflowing with creative ideas to draw the community together for fun, food, fellowship, and worship, this resource book contains 15 themed program outlines.
Fishing Tips is an open invitation to be curious. Using an ancient story as inspiration, John Pentland reflects on how Hillhurst United said "Yes" to throwing the nets on the other side of convention.

Podcast: Outsourcing Labor, Injuries to the Growing Temp Industry
by Minhee Cho
Jan. 24, 2014, 12:24 p.m. EST
Tonya Washington, 36, puts her hand on a plaque at a memorial garden for her son, Day Davis, at the Bacardi bottling plant in Jacksonville, Fla., on Aug. 16, 2013, one year after Davis, a temp worker, died on his first day on the job. (Todd Anderson for ProPublica)
The temp industry is one of the fastest growing job sectors in the U.S. – currently employing a record 2.8 million workers – but according to a ProPublica analysis of workers' compensation claims, it's also one of the more dangerous, with temps facing a significantly greater risk of getting injured on the job than permanent employees.
ProPublica's Michael Grabell details in his latest report – Temporary Work, Lasting Harm – how the workers' comp system was designed to encourage safety through economic pressure by forcing companies with higher injury rates to pay higher insurance premiums. However, hiring temp workers has insulated companies from taking responsibility – "subverting one of the strongest incentives for companies to protect workers," he writes.
Grabell joins ProPublica editor-in-chief Steve Engelberg on the podcast this week to discuss why temp workers are more prone to injuries on the job; how OSHA has documented temp workers being treated as "second-class citizens" and "peons"; and what could be done about this growing problem.

Accessories brand Cacto announces it is carbon-negative
By Danielle Wightman-Stone
Carbon neutrality is no longer enough, states Mexican-American accessories brand Cacto, which is claiming to be the first carbon-negative fashion company in the Americas.
Cacto, which produces sustainable accessories made of cactus leather, has partnered with Swiss nonprofit organisation, On A Mission, which has measured and offset 150 percent of the company's CO2 emissions through sustainable reforestation worldwide.
The measurement and offsetting process will take place every six months for the next 10 years, added Cacto, and marks only the beginning, as it is looking to offset at least 1,000 percent of the emissions it generates by the end of 2021 through more partnerships.
Jesus Chavez, founder of Cacto, said in a statement: "If we want to succeed in reaching net-zero carbon emissions well before 2050 and avoid the worst consequences of climate change, we must all work in concert in whatever capacity we are able to. Two words are key here: collaboration and ambition.
"We all need to do more, climate neutrality is no longer enough. Industries across the board need to benefit from existing technology and offsetting programs to become carbon negative and invest in new research and innovation to reach that goal faster. The decisions we make this decade will determine the fate of humanity for centuries to come. We are the ones we've been waiting for. It is up to us now."
Founded in California by the Latinx entrepreneur and climate activist, Cacto offers sustainable accessories made of organic cactus leather, which it states is free of toxic chemicals, is organic, vegan, and partially biodegradable. In addition, using cactus leather has zero waste, with the remaining organic material not used in the manufacturing process being exported and sold in the food industry.
Cactuses are the most abundant plants in Mexico, explains Cacto, and are extraordinary carbon sinks, as they capture CO2 from the atmosphere and then trap it underground as calcium carbonate. The accessories brand also notes that the process of creating the leather is regenerative and the plant is never damaged, as only mature leaves are cut, and they grow back in 6-8 months.
Cacto distributes its sleek, modern and functional accessories handcrafted by artisans in the state of Jalisco, Mexico to 190 countries.

No. The U.S. Trade Deficit Is Not a Good Thing
John Carney
In the world according to Senator James Lankford, America's trade deficits are simply a sign of our economic strength. The United States sells fewer goods and services than it buys from the likes of China and Mexico, and this is somehow evidence that Americans are just very wealthy.
This is underlying premise in Lankford's Washington Post op-ed celebrating our trade deficit. "For starters, a powerful economy such as our often runs a trade deficit because of the immense buying power of its people," Lankford writes.
Tell that to Germany. It is a very wealthy country that runs a trade surplus of more than eight percent of its gross domestic product. Someone forgot to tell its people that they need to spend their immense buying power on foreign imports.
There is no principle known to any school of economics that says a wealthy country must "often" run a trade deficit. In fact, nearly all economists are in an agreement that a country cannot run a trade deficit forever. Most would tell you that when a country accumulates dollars by running a trade surplus with the U.S., those dollars must eventually be spent on goods on services from the U.S., reversing the trade balance. (Note: those economists are not quite right but more on that later.)
Lankford has a kind of dorm room, first three weeks of a freshman taking Economics 101 understanding on international trade and capital flows. He gets the idea that when the U.S. buys foreign goods, foreign countries accumulate dollars. These dollars often get re-invested in the U.S. in the form of Treasury bonds or buying the stocks and bonds of corporate America. But he mistakenly thinks this is making us wealthier.
"Foreign investment also tilts the trade-balance calculation … It should be an encouraging thing that we are by far the world's largest receiver of foreign direct investment," Lankford writes.
But there's nothing "encouraging" about it. When a foreign country receives dollars from the sale of goods to the United States, it can do one of three things: 1) buy products made or services performed by American workers (which would mean balanced trade), 2) buy American real estate and stocks of American companies (creating a trade deficit), or 3) buy the debt of the U.S. government, banks, corporations, or municipalities (creating a trade deficit). So "foreign direct investment" isn't some vote of confidence in the health of the American economy. It's just a side-effect of the fact that our deficit leaves the world with excess dollars.
It's also worth noting that this has distributional and political effects. The trade deficit means that income that would have gone to workers instead goes to investors and the U.S. government. The prices of stocks and bonds get bid up, but the income of American workers falls. Similarly, it becomes easier for the U.S. government to run up its debt, masking the effect that diminished worker income has on the tax base. The rich and the well-connected get richer, while the rest of America withers. Sound familiar?
Even at the aggregate level, there's no evidence that the U.S. is either benefiting from or needs this level of foreign investment. Interest rates are very low (and are not dependent on foreign investment, in any case), and stock prices are at record highs. Price levels are not keeping up with production, causing inflation to fall short of the Federal Reserve's target. We do not need more buyers of U.S. stocks or bonds. Certainly, their purchases aren't boosting the economy in any serious way.
Lankford's three-weeks into Economics 101 also shows up when he attacks a straw man. President Donald Trump's plan to reduce our trade deficit is "rooted in the belief that when the United States buys more from foreign countries than those countries buy from us, jobs increase elsewhere and decrease here at home…Trade deficits are not always bad for U.S. workers and consumers," he writes.
The primary reason this is an attack on a straw man rather than a serious attempt to engage with President Donald Trump is simple: no one claims that trade deficits are "always bad." Everyone agrees that under the right circumstances, trade deficits can be just fine. When a trade deficit is a passing phenomenon, no big deal. When the economy is operating at its maximum potential, buying more from foreigners than we sell just means we get more stuff. If interest rates were set by the market forces of supply and demand of loanable funds, rather than by expectations of the path of future Fed targets, and rates were thought to be too high, foreign investment would help bring those rates down.
Since none of those things applies to us now, trade deficits are having negative effects. Again they are not "always bad." They're just bad for us, now.
A more subtle reason this is a straw man attack is that sophisticated critics of our trade deficit are not arguing that "jobs increase elsewhere and decrease here at home." At least, not in the aggregate sense. After all, if it were just about how many jobs we were creating, deficit hawks could just hang up their hats and take a long vacation now that unemployment is down at 4.6 percent.
Trade deficits do not necessarily hurt the number of jobs in the U.S. They shift the geographic and occupational mix of jobs. So even if overall we still have as many jobs as we would without a trade deficit, we have fewer manufacturing jobs and fewer jobs in places like Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Mississippi. There's very strong evidence, pretty much undisputed by economists of any school, that deficits contributed to a decline in manufacturing jobs and that this decline was concentrated in Middle America. By the most reasonable estimates, unbalanced trade with China alone cost nearly one million jobs between 1999 and 2011.
More optimistic economists used to portray this–they call it a "sectoral shift" — as benign. Americans would move out of those hard hat, calloused hands, blue-collar jobs and into sophisticated technology jobs. While some of that has happened, its been a much smaller story than was anticipated. A huge part of the sectoral shift has involved Americans shifting into lower-paid, less-productive jobs. Think of a guy who used to make machine parts making macchiatos.
In other words, the trade deficit is destroying good jobs in the U.S. economy by destroying demand for the things those jobs produce. Spending that would have employed Americans in manufacturing instead employs workers in Germany, China, and Mexico. Telling us that we can make up for it with jobs that pay less and are less productive is not comforting. In fact, most economists agree that declining U.S. productivity and sluggish wage growth are serious problems.
Even free-trade favoring economists no longer try to deny that the trade deficit has economic costs and results in financial fragility for millions of Americans. Instead, they say that lower prices on consumer goods means that we're better off overall. But that's not necessarily true. No law of economics says that 100 percent of the income lost when productive work is done abroad is recaptured by Americans in the form of lower prices. And even if it were true, it would ignore the "distributional effects," a polite way of saying we're wiping out the economic livelihoods of millions of Americans and devastating communities by destroying manufacturing jobs.
Earlier, I mentioned that the standard economics view of the fate of foreign dollar savings is "not quite right." According to that view, dollars accumulated by foreigners must as a matter of logic eventually be spent on goods and services made in the U.S. Otherwise, foreigners would be selling us real things–cars, computers, call center operations–in exchange for nothing but paper: dollars, Treasuries, stocks. So unless foreigners are irrationally giving us stuff for free, they must really be accumulating dollars because they plan to buy stuff with dollars. Even if they plan to spend dollars on stuff made by other foreigners, then those folks must eventually want to buy stuff from us. Under this view, eventually our trade deficit will become a surplus as those dollars get used to buy stuff made in the U.S.
But this is too neat. It is a bit like financial economists who insist that stock prices reflect future dividends and then have to assume that stocks that pay no dividends eventually will. There's no law of economics that says financial assets such as dollars and Treasuries cannot be accumulated without any plans to spend them on real goods. Dollars have an optionality, a call-value that is extinguished when they are spent. In the face of uncertainty about the future, it is rational for actors to preserve this optionality rather than extinguish it. And since the value of this optionality extends to subsequent generations–this of wealthy people who keep earning more than they can ever spend–that's not necessarily the end to it. Which mean that so long as the future remains uncertain — until kingdom come — trade deficits can persist into eternity.
Or almost. Large and persistent trade deficits put a strain on our country by economically disenfranchising millions of Americans. The resulting destabilization eventually could threaten global demand for dollars, prompting large dollar holders like central banks to attempt to rid themselves of their dollar denominated holdings. That kind of capital flow driven financial crisis was once a prominent fear of many economists, although it has gone out of fashion ever since we had a very different kind of financial crisis. There's no indication that anything like it is imminent, but crises often do not announce their arrival ahead of time.
Lankford says that American workers and consumers always win if there is "free and open" competition. That kind of patriotic optimism ring hollow after decades of trade deficits have hollowed out so many American factories and families. Hanging an American flag on the ruins of American industry won't make America great again.

3rd Meeting of the 183rd Session (2003-2004)
Dr Alison Morrison-Low receives the Brisbane Medal of the RSSA from the President following her talk to the Society
"The Soldier-Astronomer:
Thomas Makdougall Brisbane's scientific work"
Dr Alison D Morrison-Low
National Museums of Scotland
In the Wolfson Suite, Ground Floor
Edinburgh University Library
George Square, Edinburgh
On Monday 19th January 2004, at 7 pm
Thomas Brisbane (1773-1860) was governor of New South Wales between 1822 and 1826. He took with him to Australia the contents of his private observatory at Largs, and this should have meant that southern hemisphere astronomy should have begun on a firm basis. However, this was not to be the case. After Brisbane's recall to the United Kingdom, he set up two further observatories, one astronomical and one meteorological, and in due course became a patron of scientific endeavour through his position as President of the Royal Society of Edinburgh from 1833. After his death, possibly because his children predeceased him and his estates were sold up, his work was rapidly forgotten. This talk will examine Brisbane's role in astronomical and meteorological science, and assess whether his work deserves the oblivion to which it appears to have been consigned.

Parking lots powered by green energy in Warsaw
The Public Transport Authority in Warsaw invests in renewable energy sources. A tender will be announced soon that will answer the question how to power the Park and Ride parking lots with green energy. The owners of electric cars may also expect to find facilities there.
In the coming days the Public Transport Authority (ZTM) will announce a tender for energy audit, concept, and feasibility study of a project concerning nine P+R parking lots.
Today no one doubts any more that we should invest in renewable energy sources and care for the natural environment. The Public Transport Authority wants to find out how the use of energy from conventional sources may be limited. The answer to this question will be provided by the energy audit to be conducted.
The winner of the contract will also prepare a concept and specific solution possible to be applied at P+R parking lots. Will solar energy be the best for a specific facility ? Or maybe other heat and energy sources would be better ? How can the use of tap water be reduced ? ZTM wants to obtain the answers to these and many other questions.
Moreover, ZTM plans to promote electric vehicles for example by installing chargers at P+R parking lots. We want to find out at which car parks such chargers should appear and how they should be used in order to make it convenient for the drivers and beneficial in terms of ecology for Warsaw.
We would like the modernisation of parking lots to be co-financed with EU funds.
It is not the only novelty with regard to the P+R parking lot system in Warsaw. A pilot project was launched on three car parks, where '2+' parking places have been created. They can be used by the drivers who decided to take passengers with them. They were marked close to the car park exits.
The new places marked as '2+' can be found in the Anin, Wawer and Ursus Niedźwiadek P+R parking lots. Five such places have been marked at each of these car parks.
The '2+' parking places are intended for the drivers who took at least one passenger with them. The Public Transport Authority wants to encourage shared transport to Park and Ride car parks this way. There are numerous benefits of such car sharing : savings, lower fumes emission, smaller traffic, and less crowded parking lots.
It should also be mentioned that the signing and marking of parking places for the disabled has been improved at one level outdoor P+R parking lots.
In accordance with the valid legal regulations, these places have been marked blue. This will help distinguish special places and avoid the situations in which unauthorised persons park their cars there by accident.

How To Thaw A Frozen Turkey Pronto
| | 17updated Dec 02, 2020 | published Nov 23, 2020
posted by Bruce Weinstein | Mark Scarbrough
How To Thaw A Frozen Turkey Pronto explains what to do when it's hours before you want to eat Thanksgiving dinner and your turkey is still frozen solid. Spoiler alert: Step 1. Don't panic.
It was our first Thanksgiving in the country, having given up our rent-controlled apartment in New York City. We'd planned a quiet celebration alone—until good friends called that Wednesday. They, too, wanted a country Thanksgiving. With their teenagers. Suddenly, a twosome with a turkey breast morphed into a sixsome with a whole bird. We ran to the store, fought the crowds, and stocked up on everything—including one of the last frozen turkeys. Not surprisingly, it still wasn't thawed by the next morning.
Did we panic? Not on your life. Because we knew that a frozen turkey—whether partially or even fully—can't stop Thanksgiving dinner. Delay it a little, yes, but not deter it.
How to thaw a frozen turkey at the last moment? There are two solutions to this disaster. Which you choose depends on how much effort you want to muster and how much time you have to sit around and sip some wine while you wait.
More Effort, Less Time. Peel off the wrapper and place the bird in a bowl big enough so you can submerge the entire thing in cold tap water. Do so. Set your birdish aquarium on the counter. Swap out the stagnant turkey water for fresh cold water every 30 minutes or so until the turkey is thawed, about two hours for a 10-pounder, up to six hours for a 20-pound mutant. (Don't worry. The cold water will keep your turkey-in-a-bowl from turning into a petri dish.) Dig out the giblets and neck. Stuff, slather, and roast as your recipe directs.
Less Effort, Even Less Time. Unwrap the bird-cicle, plop it in a roasting pan, shove it in a preheated oven, and don't look back. Surprised? Don't be. Even fully frozen turkeys can be roasted without thawing them. That much meat, that much insulating bone, that much skin—it's not like it's a gimpy little game hen.
We went with the latter, if only because we wanted to put the effort into making a second pie. (Two teenagers.) But when doing the freezer-to-oven trick, bear in mind these caveats:
Add up to 50% additional roasting time. Dinner may be a little late. Deal. Just don't be tempted to crank up the oven's temperature past 350°F (176°C). Fully frozen birds roast best at 325°F (163°C), in part because the slow, low roasting approach means the breast meat doesn't dry out before the thighs are done.
Tent the bird loosely with foil should the skin start to look less like Jennifer Lopez and more like George Hamilton.
Don't forget to dig out the frozen giblets. After thirty minutes, use long-handled tongs to try to pull them out of both openings. If unsuccessful, try again at the one-hour mark. Still unsuccessful? If the giblets roam free or are in a paper bag, you really needn't remove them at all. They'll leave a reddish sludge in the roasting pan, although you can toss them—and said sludge, as well as the pan juices—before you carve the turkey. But if the giblets are in a plastic bag, they must be removed before the bag starts to melt. Should you discover this too late, default to an all-sides dinner—or takeout Chinese.
Of course, you can avoid any Thanksgiving day shenanigans by allowing the turkey ample time to thaw. A 12-pound bird takes about three days in the fridge; a 16-pound bird, about four days; a 20-pound bird, about five days. In all cases, set the turkey on a large rimmed plate or a roasting pan to catch those inevitable drips.
One last note: prestuffed frozen birds should only be roasted right from their frozen state. Unwrap them and follow the package directions. Not, of course, that LC readers would ever buy a prestuffed frozen turkey. Originally published November 19, 2011.

Thanksgiving isn't celebrated in the country where I now live, but a few times I have tried to present a Thanksgiving lunch for the relatives so that the children could have a multicultural experience. Big problem–you can't buy turkey in November here…Why? Because the farmers/butchers middlemen are keeping the supplies frozen and will only release it for Xmas! Oh well, the first Thanksgiving probably didn't have turkey either…so we made do with venison, as they probably did. We couldn't get fresh cranberries either and the pumpkins were quite out of season in this upside-down world.
jan, a good appetite is the mother of invention!
Cheryl Cruickshank says:
I usually thaw the turkey inside of a large plastic bucket or wine pail filled with cold water and a box of kosher salt. I store the turkey in the brine inside of our garage, as our winters are cold.
As for stuffing, I make a different version of the traditional stuffing with onions fried in butter, then add 2 cups steel cut oats or oat bran, salt, white pepper, thyme, rosemary, sage and savory. Fry this up and add 3/4 cup cranberry juice or chicken stock and finally add some dried cranberries. This version is healthier and very tasty when cooked inside of the bird.
Cheryl, we're going to use your thawing this year. The One wants a brined turkey. Do you add any meat to your stuffing?
John Davey says:
Fresh Turkey for Thanksgiving? No, thanks.
It's November in Michigan, and it's blowing snow all over the place. We all love our Mom, but she has the knack for marrying insufferable bores. Her third was the worst; we still refer to Chuck as "Chuck You, Farlie." Well, this genius promised Mom he would get her a turkey for Thanksgiving, and so he did. A freshly-killed bird that needed to be fully dressed and cooked for dinner that night, as he would be bringing his parents, and he, being right all the time, was convinced that a fresh bird was always better than anything you could buy at the store.
As we lived on a farm, we were used to having a fresh chicken dinner every other Sunday. Kathy (my Irish twin) and I would kill the birds (usually two, as there were seven kids, Mom, and the bore to feed). Killing chickens in the winter is so much more fun. One holds the feet, the other holds the head and the machete. Once the head is removed, the trick is to toss it behind you to avoid the spurting blood as the victim spins, jumps, and sprays blood all over the lawn (in the winter, two birds can turn the whole white yard red in just a couple minutes). They're then hung on the clothesline until they're bled out, and the plucking begins. Kathy & I would do the basic plucking, but doing the pinfeathers usually ended up being done by Ginny & Maggie (they're the two oldest and, at the time, Ginny was the most patient and Maggie the most meticulous). Then the birds get turned over to Mom, and a couple hours later, we have dinner. "Not today," says Mom. "This thing is huge, ugly, and it's not going in my oven." The genius hasn't heard any of this, as he's already headed out to fetch his parents (about an hour's drive away). Time for Mom to go to work.
The deceased fowl was unceremoniously crammed into a wood produce box (those old things that held a bushel of celery and you closed it with baling wire). On her way to the grocery store, it got thrown into the ditch about a mile down the road. It's Thanksgiving morning, and there's only one grocery store open, and the only thing available is an 18-pounder, fully stuffed, ready to bake, and frozen hard as a rock. She slathered that sucker with butter and some seasonings, and into the roaster it went. You know the one, your grandmother's enamelware roaster you now have in the garage, and you've filled it with nuts & bolts and miscellaneous electrical wires.
About three hours and a few beers later, the genius returns with his parents in tow and spends the rest of the afternoon extolling the virtues of farm living, healthy eating, and various other tales that only reinforced what a revolting creature he really was. Mom's afternoon alternates between preparing everything else that goes with dinner while keeping the buffoon away from the oven to check on "his prize bird."
As with everything else that mothers do, dinner is great, all the trimmings are perfect, and all of us are thoroughly entertained with another dissertation on how much better a fresh turkey is than "that store-bought crap." All of us at the table nearly exploded when his mother complimented the girls on what a good job they did with the pinfeathers, as she knew just how much work was put into it. And to this day, none of us can forget that small victory, and the joy we got in pulling it off.
We found the empty produce box sometime around March or April when the spring thaw was in progress. Mom told us we could throw it away; it had served its purpose.
John, we love your story, and so eloquently told. Thank you for sharing and happy, happy Thanksgiving from all of us at Leite's!
I brine the bird from frozen for a day, kills two birds in one stone.
Renee Schettler, LC Editor-in-Chief says:
Love it, Jasper. Brilliant.
Jeff @ Cheese-Burger.net says:
I like this story. This can actually come in handy on Thanksgiving emergencies like this.
Glad you found it handy, Jeff. Many thanks for saying so! May your turkey day be blissfully free of last-minute ice crystals…
Actually, you do not have to unwrap the bird to defrost in water. If you have a utility bucket, throw it in wrapping and all with the cold tap water. It defrosts overnight, easy-peasy.
My guess is that you're leaving the turkey out back on a porch in temperatures that are just barely above freezing, yes, Jenn?
Rita J says:
This is so funny, I roasted a frozen turkey, no plastic bags in it. The top half cooked and the bottom half didn't roast. My new stove had two elements and both had to be turned on when roasting. Who knew?
My Aunt laughed and said she was glad to have me all to her self, we carved off and ate the cooked meat and put the rest back in the oven.
When you eat with the people you love… the food is not the main course.
Love this story, Rita. And I love your takeaway message. You're so right. We get so caught up with what's on the table on Thanksgiving, it's easy to lose sight of whose around the table. We appreciate the reminder…
Mark Scarbrough says:
Rita: We must have the same stove. Bruce despises that the top element comes on. He's figured out some way to keep it off and still get the right temperature. Don't ask me–I sneeze around mechanical devices. But I'm glad your meal came out a feast and not a famine. I'd say that's the spirit of the holiday.
Inez says:
I will admit to purchasing the pre-stuffed bird, and while not as tasty as my own, or my Mom's, it was one shortcut that, if good enough for Mom, is good enough for me.
In a pinch that does work. But I think it's almost as easy to make dressing/stuffing. Bread, celery, onions, herbs, stock and bing, bang, bong, you're done!


The digital enterprise, with its focus on greater collaboration with customers and partners and its greater reliance on cloud services, is creating high demand for network resources.
Lower costs and increase agility with virtualized network capabilities across the enterprise — from data centers to private networks.
The digital enterprise, with its focus on greater collaboration with customers and partners and its greater reliance on cloud services, is creating high demand for network resources. Organizations have experienced an explosion of mobile devices.
Application portfolios have expanded dramatically to serve these devices. Geographically distributed workforces and expanded global connectivity are adding to the demand.
To manage these changes, DXC Technology is helping organizations shift from physical devices and fixed bandwidths to virtual solutions and services.
WANs are the links that tie enterprises to their remote locations, clients, cloud service providers, and data centers. WANs must provide highly secure services driven by SLAs while providing more agile, cost-effective connectivity.
The Bluerange Green Software Data Center service enables organizations to expand their networks without being locked into any vendor. Our Data Center LAN, based on VMware's NSX switching technology, helps improve agility and security in today's hybrid computing environments.


The CL210 was designed from the ground up as a best-in-class Media Player for kiosks, menu boards & streaming video applications. The low-cost fanless system is a compact and ultra-reliable media player with an array of features that are critical for deploying dependable, long-lasting digital signage solutions. Here's what makes the CL210 different from other media players and SOC all-in-one displays on the market.
Consumer Electronics Control (CEC) allows digital signage users to control certain features of their displays directly through the media player. The CL210 employs our patent pending multi-CEC functionality, letting you control the power functions of multiple displays at the same time. Simply turn on the CL210 and your screens will also power up. You can even program a delay to ensure that the system has booted and media is being displayed before the displays power on.
In addition to standard WiFi connectivity, an optional 4G upgrade allows the CL210 to easily connect to the cloud from almost any location. Additionally, the system boasts dual LAN ports, enabling ease of connectivity to multiple networks without the need for a separate cellular gateway.
Digital signage solutions are by nature mission critical. Failures can result in expensive downtime or frustrating system replacements. To give our customers the most reliable solution possible, we designed the CL210 around several key features that each extend lifespan and durability while lowering the total cost of ownership. First and foremost, the CL210 has a completely solid-state construction, with no moving parts. In addition to the benefit of silent operation, this eliminates two of the most common failure points in media players – the fan and the hard drive. Not only is the CL210 fanless, it is also ventless. This protects the system from exposure to the dust and other airborne particulate that is common in many environments and Kiosk enclosures. Additionally, the CL210 is housed in a durable aluminum chassis, providing both superior component protection and effective passive cooling.
Every surface of the CL210 is designed to dissipate heat while offering maximum EMC immunity to RF and ESD events. The device's exacting tolerances enhance ingress protection greatly reducing ill effects of dust transported corrosive substances over time.
The CL210 is a fantastic solution for a wide-range of digital media applications including CMS systems, menu boards, video walls and Kiosks. The system can playback 4K video content, or support two independent HD screens. The option to run either Windows or Linux operating systems offers incredible flexibility for software integration and solution configuration.
One of the biggest challenges in deploying digital signage solutions is finding a media player that will fit within the limited space available. With that in mind, Logic Supply developed the CL210 with a sub-2" profile to fit within the tightest space requirements behind screens, under counters or within ceilings.
In summary, if you are looking for a cost effective set-it and forget-it media player, take a close look at the CL210 from Logic Supply.

Q: C# LINQ - Comparing to float lists I have two lists of floats and both with the same size, for example:
List<float> list1 = new List<float>{ 2.1, 1.3, 2.2, 6.9 }
List<float> list2 = new List<float>{ 2.5, 3.3, 4.5, 7.8 }

Using LINQ I would like to check if all items in list1 are less or equal than those in list2, for example:
2.1 <= 2.5
1.3 <= 3.3
2.2 <= 4.5
6.9 <= 7.8
In this case I want to obtain true as result as all items in list1 are <= items in list2. What is the best efficient way to do it?

A: It sounds like you want Zip, if you really want to compare these pairwise. (It's not true to say that all items in list1 are smaller than all items in list2, as 6.9 is greater than 2.5 for example.)
Using Zip:
bool smallerOrEqualPairwise = list1.Zip(list2, (x, y) => x <= y)
                                   .All(x => x);

Or:
bool smallerOrEqualPairwise = list1.Zip(list2, (x, y) => new { x, y })
                                   .All(pair => pair.x <= pair.y);

The first option is more efficient, but the second is perhaps more readable.
EDIT: As noted in comments, this would be even more efficient, at the possible expense of more readability (more negatives).
bool smallerOrEqualPairwise = !list1.Zip(list2, (x, y) => x <= y)
                                    .Contains(false);

A: list1.Zip(list2, (x, y) => new { X = x, Y = y }).
      All(item => (item.X <= item.Y))

A: bool result = Enumerable.Range(0, list1.Count).All(i => list1[i] <= list2[i]);

Making A Scene: Making music with Margaret Leng Tan and Huang Ruo
9th February 2021 • Making a Scene • Esplanade Offstage
Cage "loved the way I prepared the piano", Margaret Leng Tan, one of the foremost interpreters of his music, tells us in this episode of Making A Scene. In preparing the piano, she was influenced by the diverse music of her multicultural upbringing in Singapore. But for this Juilliard-trained pianist, it was also her encounter with Cage's Asian-influenced artistic outlook that sparked a new engagement with her own cultural roots. That's just one way the subject of diverse cultural influences comes up in this spirited conversation between Tan and composer Huang Ruo, moderated by Esplanade programmer Lynn Yang. For China-born Huang, who is also a Juilliard graduate and based in New York like Tan, musical genres from different cultures are just one dimension of sound that inform his expansive creative process.


2013 Toyota Matrix: Pack, Escape, Live.
Toyota is well-known for its hyper fuel efficient compacts, but the Japanese automaker never really had one that was particularly fun to drive – until now. Enter the Matrix (no, not the video game based off the popular Keanu Reeves movies); a sporty compact that delivers the fuel economy and reliability Toyota has built its company on, coupled with an exhilarating driving experience.
The 2013 Toyota Matrix offers two different engine options. The base, 1.8-liter four-cylinder produces 132 horsepower and 128 lb.-ft. of torque 26 mpg city and 32 mpg highway. Upgrade to the 2.4-liter four-cylinder for the added zip provided by 158 horsepower and 162 lb.-ft. of torque, while still returning 28 mpg highway.
Toyota not only did Toyota design the Matrix to be fun to drive, but also for the fun-loving to drive. The impressive does the near 20 cubic feet of cargo capacity provide enough room to fit just about anything but it's also made from tough, water-resistant material.
Will the 2013 Toyota Matrix have you taking a second look at Toyota compacts?


Donald Trump had a fleeting moment of sanity when he said in the last presidential debate that the U.S. after 9/11 wasted three or four trillion dollars on wars with nothing to show for it. That money should have been invested in America instead, he said, which caused Carly Fiorina to denounce him for sounding like Barack Obama!
Yes, Obama the "feckless weakling," according to that man-burger, Chris Christie.
In a lengthy article published Sunday, the New York Times provided a glimpse into the criminal and grisly methods employed by Seal Team 6, a secret unit within the Pentagon's Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC).
Great article and very true but you have to love the irony being on a scocialists web site given their record in power during history .Fabians especially .We vertainly needa new idiolodgy based on no one is above the law and no death squads .
With a record like that no wonder Seal Team 6 vanished .


The longtime fan surely hopes to follow his team to another Super Bowl in 2019.
North Haven resident Jimmy Buffett will perform our national anthem, "The Star Bangled Banner," at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans this Sunday, January 20. Buffett is opening for the New Orleans Saints as they take on the Los Angeles Rams in the 2019 National Football Conference Championship game. The winner will go on to play the American Football Conference Champion—either the Kansas City Chiefs or the New England Patriots—in Super Bowl LIII on Sunday, February 3.
Believe it or not, there's more to this than meets the eye (or ear). Not only did Buffett sing the National Anthem for the Saints back in 2006, he's among their oldest fans. He was at the Saints' first game in 1967, and he's had a lifelong friendship with head coach Sean Payton. The two have attended the Super Bowl together and even performed onstage in the Big Easy in 2012 (Payton played the bongos). Buffett has attended the team's practices over the years and will now welcome them back to their home turf as they lock horns with the Rams for the NFC Championship.
Buffett won't be the only big name at the Superdome on January 20. As per tradition, a free home-game concert will be held at Champions Square, with a performance by Cheap Trick, and the Ying Yang Twins and local rapper Choppa, real name Darwin Turner, are playing the halftime show.
