Q: Angular2+ e2e testing - Cannot use by.id I'm new to Angular2 and haven't developed the Angular components to be tested. However, I'm supposed to write some some UI (e2e) tests but I'm not even able to input text in an input field.
My problem is that
 element(by.id('username')).sendKeys('test')
is not working. (Same with Button elements and so on)
I'm sure that it is only a small thing but I'm not able to find out what it is.
I have the following configuration:

*

*Proctractor: 5.1.2

*chrome driver: 58.0.3029.110

*OS: Windows NT 6.1.7601 SP1 x86_64

Spec file:
import { LoginPage } from './login.po';

describe('login tests', function() {
  let page: LoginPage;

  beforeEach(() => {
    page = new LoginPage();
  });

  it('Demo', () => {
    page.navigateTo();
    page.getUsernameInput().sendKeys('test');
  });
});

Page Object file:
import { browser, element, by } from 'protractor';

export class LoginPage {
  navigateTo() {
    return browser.get('/login');
  }

  getParagraphText() {
    return element(by.class('app-root h1')).getText();
  }

  getUsernameInput() {
    return element(by.id('username'));
  }
}

The HTML template:
....
<div>
  <input
    id="username"
    name="username"
    ngModel
    type="text"
    placeholder="{{something}}"
    autocomplete="off"
    class="input-text"
    required>
</div>
...

Proctractor config
var SpecReporter = require('jasmine-spec-reporter');

exports.config = {
    allScriptsTimeout: 120000,
    getPageTimeout: 120000,
    specs: [
      './e2e/**/*.e2e-spec.ts'
    ],
    capabilities: {
      'browserName': 'chrome'
    },
    directConnect: true,
    seleniumAddress: 'http://localhost:4444/wd/hub',
    baseUrl: 'http://localhost:8001',
    framework: 'jasmine',
    jasmineNodeOpts: {
      showColors: true,
      defaultTimeoutInterval: 30000,
      print: function() {}
    },
    useAllAngular2AppRoots: true,
    beforeLaunch: function() {
      require('ts-node').register({
        project: 'e2e'
      });
    },
    onPrepare: function() {
      jasmine.getEnv().addReporter(new SpecReporter());
    }
};

Any help is highly appreciated.
EDIT:
None of the solutions worked in my case. I ended up using browser.driver.findElement(by.id('username')); instead of element(by.id('username')); This is unsatisfying because I still don't understand why this doesn't work. I'd be thankful if someone could give me a hint or explanation.

A: I think your problem is timing.
What happens if you do:
it('Demo', () => {
    // wait for page to change to /login
    return page.navigateTo().then(() => {
        // then look for user input and write 'test'
        return page.getUsernameInput().sendKeys('test');
    });
});

Edit:
Sounds odd to me that browser.driver.findElement(by.id('username')) works since element(by.id('username')) should be equivalent.
I use a helper class for a lot of the browser interactions, perhaps worth a shot.
Snippets I use for finding element and sending keystrokes:
public static async getElement(locator: By | Function, waitMs?: number): Promise<ElementFinder | any> {

    await BrowserHelper.waitForVisibilityOf(locator, waitMs | 1000);

    return element(locator);
}

public static sendKeys(locator: By | Function, keys: string, clear?: boolean, waitMs?: number): Promise<void> {
    return BrowserHelper.getElement(locator, waitMs).then((element: ElementFinder) => {
        if (!clear) {
            return element;
        }

        return element.clear().then(() => element);
    }).then((element: ElementFinder) => {
        return element.sendKeys(keys)
    });
}

public static async waitForVisibilityOf(locator: By | Function, waitMs?: number): Promise<any> {
    await browser.wait(EC.presenceOf(element(locator)), waitMs || 5000).then(() => {
        // visible
    }, (error) => {
        console.error('timeout at waitForVisibilityOf', locator, error);
    });
}

A: I believe this is due to your getUsernameInput() method returning not the locator in this case. As per Protractor documentation,

The element() function returns an ElementFinder object. The ElementFinder knows how to locate the DOM element using the locator you passed in as a parameter, but it has not actually done so yet. It will not contact the browser until an action method has been called.

You can try this modified code
   getUsernameInput() {
      element(by.id('username')).sendKeys('text');
    }
   }

and then using
  it('Demo', () => {
      page.navigateTo();
      page.getUsernameInput();
  });
});

Also, I'm not sure your getText() would return the text, because getText() returns a Promise, which you would have to resolve. This has been explained here.

Apple's Prices for E-Books May Be Lower Than Expected
By Motoko Rich
Published New York Times: February 17, 2010
Ma ybe e-book prices won't be rising so much after all.
Since Apple announced plans to sell digital books on its forthcoming iPad, it has been cast as something of a savior of the publishing industry for allowing e-book prices to go above the $9.99 that Amazon charges for e-books on its Kindle device, a price that publishers say is too low to sustain their business.
But as more details come to light of the actual negotiations between Apple and publishers, it appears that Apple left room to sell some of the most popular books at a discount.
When Steven P. Jobs showed off the iPad last month, he announced agreements with five of the six largest publishers to offer their content through a new iBooks application. Those publishers — the Hachette Book Group, HarperCollins Publishers, Macmillan, the Penguin Group and Simon & Schuster — agreed to terms under which they would set e-book prices and Apple would serve as an agent to sell the books to consumers. Apple would take 30 percent of each sale, leaving 70 percent for publishers to split with authors.
Publishers indicated that e-book editions of most newly released adult general fiction and nonfiction would sell in a range from $12.99 to $14.99, under a complicated formula that pegs e-book prices to the list prices of comparable print editions. Publishers liked Apple's deal because it resulted in a marked increase above Amazon's $9.99 price for most new releases.

This recipe really hits the spot when craving some creamy, cheese filled, italian food. Here are a few tips to set you up for success.
Sauteing your garlic and onion helps really bring out the flavor by breaking down some of the cellular structures and releasing taste juices and aromas. But remember, garlic cooks much faster than onions do and over cooked garlic turns bitter and acrid. So get a good saute on your onions then add your garlic, herbs, and spices just long enough to become aromatic before adding the liquids.
Also note it is important to let your sauce simmer after adding the coconut milk for a little while. This evaporates of some of the liquid allowing the sauce to thicken and further develops flavor profile.
Adding some salt and garlic to the bowling water before adding your noodles will give your noodles more flavor and cause them not to water down the dish. Some people may be off put by the extra salt. But if you love flavor, give it a try.
Sugars and acids break down under heat, so to maintain a bit of tanginess from the vinegar and the sweet from the pumpkin make sure you add these ingredients near the end of the cooking process. That being said… if this recipe or any recipe it too sweet of too sour just cook it a little longer. These flavors with neutralize some and you may be able to save your dish!
and and Enjoy and let me know what you think!!
After starting to eliminate foods and change my diet I found I really missed some foods. Particularly buttery, creamy, cheese filled italian food. One of my favorites was fettuccine alfredo. After some trial and error I created a recipe that hits the spot.
Add butter to a medium sized saucepan. Allow butter to melt on medium low while chopping garlic and onion.
Once butter has melted, add onions and saute till translucent (about 5 minutes).
Once fragrant, it is time to add the full fat coconut milk and yogurt.
Add some coconut oil to a medium sized skillet and allow oil to raise to medium heat. Once oil is warm add your seasoned chicken breasts and cook until the internal temperature of the largest pieces reaches 165 degree F. Remove from heat.
Boil water and cook pasta as box directs.
As this point you can now add the pumpkin, parmesan cheese, white wine vinegar, and xanthan gum to your alfredo sauce. Stir continuously till all ingredients and melted and combined. Reduce heat to low.
Drain and add pasta to sauce. Salt and pepper to taste. You may mix in check or add to top at this point.


A free EMR? Crazy! A doctor challenging hospitals to save a specific amount of lives in a finite period of time? Pie-in-the sky thinking. Moving care from the traditional setting of a doctor's office to the Internet? Patients will never go for it.
In a fragmented industry like healthcare, one with many entrenched interests that simply don't have a lot of motivation to change, disruption can be a positive thing. Information technology itself often has been disruptive in healthcare, but elements of health IT have been around long enough that they, too have become part of the establishment. Some forward thinkers keep on innovating, though, and keep on disrupting the status quo.
What distinguishes truly disruptive individuals from the status quo are a maverick spirit, a willingness to fight for what they believe is right and the ability to motivate others to embrace their fresh ideas. With that in mind, FierceHealthIT presents 10 disruptive forces in health IT. Click on any of the names below to learn more.

Ізяслав IV Мстиславич (1186 — бл. 1239) — великий князь київський з травня 1235 до березня 1236 та з 10 квітня 1236 до травня 1236, князь вишгородський між 1232 та 1235, і 1236—1239. Помер близько 1239 або 1254 року.

Походження
Походження князя Ізяслава Київського достеменно не відоме, оскільки в літописах XIII століття (зокрема Іпатіївському, де про нього найбільше згадок) він називається без по-батькові.

Традиційно вважався сином князя Володимира Ігоровича, онуком Ігора Святославича Новгород-Сіверського. У ряді літописів фігурує з по-батькові Мстиславич. Згідно з Тверським, Никонівським та Воскресенським літописами, онук Романа Ростиславича і згідно з Воскресенським — син Мстислава Романовича Старого. Відповідно до іншого погляду, син Мстислава Удатного. На користь першої та третьої версій походження говорять союз із половцями та претензії на Галич, на користь першої — також союз із Михайлом Чернігівським.

Біографія
У 1233 році разом з Данилом Романовичем Галицьким Ізяслав вирушив воювати проти угорців, але на самому початку походу відступився від союзника і, замість того, щоб допомагати Данилові, спустошив його ж волость. У 1235 році Володимир Рюрикович Київський і Данило виступили проти Ізяслава і половців, але біля Торчеська, були розбиті. Данило з залишками війська втік, а Володимир потрапив у полон до половців. Ізяслав сів у Києві, а його союзник, Михайло Всеволодович — в Галичі. Проте того ж року Володимир Рюрикович викупився з полону, вернувся у Київ та вигнав звідти Ізяслава.

У 1239 або 1240 року, коли Михайло втікав від татар з Києва в Угорщину, Кам'янець був ненадовго зайнятий владимирським князем Ярославом Всеволодовичем, а після повернення на Русь Михайло отримав від Данила Луцьк. Під час монгольської навали на Галицько-Волинське князівство (1240—1241) в літописі Кам'янець названий серед інших розорених міст як спадок Ізяслава. У 1254 році Ізяслав вирішив заволодіти Галичем за допомогою ординців і запропонував Куремсі, котрий облягав Кременець, йти на Галич, але отримав відмову і зайняв місто самостійно, після чого був полонений Романом Даниловичем. Про подальшу долю Ізяслава нічого невідомо. Імовірно, він був страчений за наказом Данила Галицького.

1987 St. Louis Cardinals National League Championship Ring
Red Schoendienst Jewelry & Awards
For the second time in three years, the 1987 Cardinals were on the wrong side of history. Two years after becoming the first team to lose a World Series after having won the first two games at home (with the aid of a costly call by unpire Don Denkinger), the Redbirds became the first team to lose a Fall Classic during which the winning club lost every road game. Still and all, St. Louis enjoyed a terrific season with 95 wins, and members of the club received these attractive rings with real diamonds on top. This Size 12 example belonged to longtime coach Red Schoendienst and is in NRMT condition. It commemorates over three-million in attendance at Busch Stadium that season. Also on the face are three rubies and "ST. LOUIS CARDINALS" written on diagonal lines. The left panel has the coach's name and number 2 along with the NL Championship trophy and team logo. The right shank commemorates the 3,072,122 fans, along wth "ST. LOUIS CARDINALS" and a redbird swinging a bat with Busch Stadium, the Arch and "WORLD SERIES 15TH," It is marked "CTO 10K" inside. Not only did Minnesota win the World Series without benefit of a road victory, the team also set a record by being the champion with the worst regular-season record ever (85-77), a mark that would ironically be broken by the 2006 Cards with a mediocre 83-78 mark.

Air Force chief admits IAF shot down its own helicopter in Budgam
IAF Chief Rakesh Bhadauria said that the Mi-17 chopper, which crashed in Budgam in J&K on February 27th, was the force's own mistake.
The incident had killed six military personnel and a civilian and had taken place a day after the Balakot strikes in Pakistan.
The inquiry also found that the 'Identification of Friend or Foe' system on-board the helicopter was switched off, and there was a "vital gap" in coordination between the ground crew and the chopper.
Bombay HC clears tree-cutting for Metro project
The court dismissed a batch of petitions challenging the BMC's decision to allow the cutting of 2,646 trees in Mumbai's Aarey forest for a metro car shed.
The judge said that one of the pleas to designate the forest as ecologically sensitive zone was dismissed on the principle of commonality and said either the Supreme Court or the National Green Tribunal can provide the remedy sought by the NGO.
There have been several protests in the city against the decision to build the metro shed in the forest.
The Corporation claims that it would compensate by planting thrice as many saplings elsewhere, protestors demanded that the car shed be shifted to an alternative site.
SC asks petitioners to find a better place for Ravidas temple
The court asked the petitioners to find an amicable solution on a better location for the shrine as rules have to be followed.

More electricity for Africans
Posted on 10:16 pm, July 28, 2018 by Rafe Champion
Good news out of Africa. Paul Dreissen and David Wojick report on the change of direction of the African Development Bank. The Obama administration was a disaster for power-starved Africans because they backed expensive and unreliable power developments. One of the lenders, the African Development Bank has broken ranks to back hydrocarbon fuels.
The AfDB is being encouraged by the Trump Administration, which may partly account for the new policy. The Trump USAID is now running the Power Africa 2.0 program, a vital upgrade of the Obama era program that promoted renewable energy and strongly discouraged the use of affordable fossil fuels.
We recently explained how Multilateral Development Banks (MDBs) use manmade climate change alarmism to justify lending policies that reject funding for fossil fuel electricity generation, promote expensive and unreliable renewables.
Now, the African Development Bank (AfDB) has broken ranks with the World Bank has announced that it will once again finance coal and natural gas power generation projects. As AfDB President Akinwumi Adesina puts it, "Africa must develop its energy sector with what it has."
The Obama program managed to facilitate financing for just 7,300 MW of electrical generating capacity (15% of what Germany generated with coal in 2016) – and most of that was from expensive, unreliable wind and solar units.

The climate skeptics were calling for this change in developing world energy policy about 9 years ago.
So there you have it, climate skeptics are 9 years ahead of their time.
As we were also predicting that global temperatures should decrease after 2014, I guess we may have to wait until 2023 to see that decrease begin. 🙂
Australia might have to lineup at the development bank before too long too, in order to get some real electricity happening.

Another rat hole to pour money into. The power stations won't even be finished before they are being looted for the scrap copper.
No, just interdict the sea lanes around Africa, sink every vessel that tries to come outside the 100km border, with no exceptions.

Reminds me of this story:
Bihar village clamours for real electricity (2014)
The least you would expect when you bring electricity to an entire village, ending over three decades of darkness, is a 'thank you' from its residents. But no such niceties here in Dharnai, a nondescript village tucked away in the Naxal heartland of Bihar.
The residents of Dharnai are far from satisfied to see lights for the first time in 33 years, courtesy a solar-powered micro-grid set up by the environment watchdog Greenpeace India. They now want asli bijli (real electricity) from the government.
More from SciAm:
Rupesh Kumar, an 11th-grader in Dharnai, grew up studying by the light of kerosene lanterns. He was hopeful when Greenpeace representatives came to his family's two-room house, walking past two buffaloes tied at the front porch.
They promised him a light bulb he could study by. He hopes to be the first in his family to go to college and get a job other than farming.
Over three months, engineers set up 70 kilowatts of photovoltaic cells on the rooftop of public buildings scattered throughout the village. They installed 224 batteries to store the energy. Artists painted a cheerful mural of rainbows and birds on the wall of the village chief's office, branding the village "Dharnai Live." The village also has a website. All told, the installation cost 2.7 crore rupees ($407,050).
Kumar's family received one compact fluorescent light bulb and a wall outlet to charge their mobile phone. The power would be free for six months and then cost 70 rupees per month. That comes to about $1, but a steep price tag in a place where poor people earn, on average, the equivalent of about 30 cents per day. Most of Kumar's neighbors could not afford it.
In the more prosperous part of the village, well-to-do families already had rooftop solar panels. But Greenpeace's microgrid promised to be more reliable, and many of them signed up, as well.
The day the power came was one of celebration. Villagers, rich and poor alike, ate sweets. Then, the wealthy families plugged in energy-inefficient televisions and refrigerators. With the power suddenly facing heavy demand, the batteries drained within hours. When Kumar woke up at 4 a.m. before his farming duties to study, the light bulb did not work.
"I think it's wrong that when I studied, the power would get cut," he said.
The microgrid operators scrambled to fix the mess. The village electrification committee decided to restrict electricity supply to five hours at nighttime. Greenpeace put up posters telling people not to use energy-hungry appliances such as rice cookers, electric water heaters, irons, space heaters and air coolers.
One month after the rollout, Greenpeace invited Bihar's former chief minister, Nitish Kumar, to inaugurate the solar village. A head of state visiting a small village under the glare of television cameras is a huge deal, and the citizens knew it was their best chance to get a permanent solution.
Children held placards and the adults chanted their mantra asking for "real" electricity.
One week later, trucks rolled in and set up a 100-kW transformer in town, connecting Dharnai to the grid.
Sorry for the long quotes, but the story is a perfect example of the green colonialism forced upon poor Indians and Africans by the likes of Greenpeace and the climatistas. The arrogance is astounding.
The reality is that these 'Progressives' do not want the Third World to progress. That's why they promote ruinable energy, that's why they promote low tech tools instead of technology that we've had for over 100 years.
Thanks Bruce, love that story!

Indoor dining delays could be final straw for many restaurants
By Megan Cerullo
Updated on: July 10, 2020 / 9:51 PM / MoneyWatch
Restaurants suffer under COVID restrictions
Indoor dining delays could be final straw for many restaurants 05:05
Cities across the U.S. are delaying plans and reversing orders to allow restaurants to open for indoor dining, marking the latest setback for one of the hardest-hit industries as COVID-19 continues to spread across the country.
With outdoor dining permitted, many restaurateurs have expanded their seating onto sidewalks, even spilling into local streets to lure passersby. But a few measly chairs alone can't carry them through the seemingly unending interruption caused by the coronavirus pandemic.
"Anybody that thinks that outdoor dining is a solution needs to have their head examined," said Philippe Massoud, owner of Ilili, a Lebanese restaurant near Madison Square Park, after New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio late last week said the city would not allow indoor dining to resume after the July Fourth weekend.
The decision to pause comes after cases recently climbed in communities where restaurants had already reopened, in states such as California, Florida, Pennsylvania and Texas.
Massoud was disappointed about the course reversal, after investing in training sessions for employees and purchasing perishable food items — all to prepare to open for indoor dining this week.
"We had set up training sessions, started preparing some sauces, ordered our butcher cuts, and then we had to slam on the brakes," he told CBS MoneyWatch. "While safety is our priority, we don't have the ability to do these starts and stops because they cost us a lot of money," he added.
Why coronavirus cases are on the rise among young people in several states 05:33
Instead, he'll rely on a combination of take-out and delivery orders and extended open-air seating, allowed through New York City's summertime "Open Restaurants" program.
Restaurants can temporarily expand seating onto sidewalks and streets to allow for social distancing, so long as they create protective barriers using planters or similar objects that block seating areas from auto and bicycle travel lanes. Roadway seating is allowed through September 8.
And so restaurant owners like Massoud have invested thousands of dollars in building attractive outdoor environments. After all, it's one of few accommodations that gives them a fighting chance of surviving.
Massoud said he's already spent about $5,000 expanding an existing outdoor cafe. He sunk another $8,000 into planters, chairs, umbrellas and other design elements that comply with the new initiative's safety guidelines.

He's committed to giving the new way of doing business a shot — if only for his staff and customers. He doesn't expect to be profitable again without substantial, long-term aid in the form of total rent relief and business-interruption insurance payouts.
He did receive a loan through the federal government's Paycheck Protection Program, without which the restaurant would have already gone out of business, he said.
Normally a 260-seat eatery, Ilili will open for outdoor dining on Wednesday with just 24 seats.
"The math doesn't make sense"
The postponement of indoor dining could mean throwing in the towel for some restaurant owners.
"We are hearing countless restaurants are already closing. People are going to now decide, 'I can't hang on any longer,'" said Andrew Rigie, executive director of the New York City Hospitality Alliance, which in May surveyed nearly 500 restaurants, bars and nightclubs about reopening.
The city is home to more than 25,000 eating and drinking establishments that employed roughly 300,000 people pre-pandemic, according to latest economic impact study from the Mayor's Office of Media and Entertainment. That count doesn't include restaurants that are only open for brunch and lunch, according to Rigie.
Nearly 4% of restaurants surveyed by the Hospitality Alliance said they expected to close permanently as a result of COVID-19. But another 53% said they don't know if they will ever regain their footing.
And for those owners that do give outdoor dining a shot, profitability is essentially off the table.
Massoud —a self-described realist with a background in finance — doesn't expect to turn a profit anytime soon. In fact, he would be surprised if he were even able to recoup his investment in the outdoor cafe, whose menu includes dishes ranging from $18 brussels sprouts to a $65 whole organic chicken.
How the pandemic changed one of the nation's most acclaimed restaurants 06:15
"The game is not about making money. The game right now is to lose the least amount of money so you can stay open for as long as possible until there is a brighter day," he said.
Assuming a relatively low profit margin of 3%, Massoud estimates he'll need revenue of $266,000 over the eight weeks during which he's permitted to operate, just to recoup his $8,000 investment. "That's impossible, the math doesn't make sense," he said.
That would equal about $33,000 in sales per week, or $4,700 per day, spread out over only 24 seats. Where he used to do 400 covers a night, he'll now do just 20.
"There is no way on planet earth you can recoup your investment, and that's not even counting the days you'll be shut down because of the weather, like if it's raining or excessively hot," Massoud said.
He'll stick it out for the near-term and reassess his reopening prospects in eight weeks.
"If it rains it's over"
Benjamin Prelvukaj, the co-owner and co-founder of Benjamin's restaurant group, has three restaurants in New York City, one of which will open for outdoor dining on Wednesday.
Prelvukaj spent $15,000 on a tent for Benjamin Prime, a 275-seat restaurant near Grand Central Terminal, that will have outdoor seating for 40 people.
Benjamin Prime owner Benjamin Prelvukaj purchased a $15,000 tent in order to seat customers outside. Benjamin Prelvukaj
He's trying it out, but stressed that without indoor dining, his restaurants won't survive, for one because outdoor dining is weather dependent.
"We are going to open, but the problem is it's July and it's hot and humid outside. I don't know how people are going to feel about eating in 100 degree weather outside," he said. "And if it rains it's over. Everyone is going to leave and everything is going to go down the drain."
The message from owners is clear. Without more help, or unless the virus subsides, it's over for many restaurants.
"We are in the ICU on the operating table, our pulse is declining, the monitor is blinking. Please help us," Massoud said.

Winnie the Pooh would spend every day of life humming tunes and stopping frequently to eat "a little something." But today, Pooh and Piglet have to find the Heffalump, watch Rabbit scheme to rid the forest of Kanga's dreaded bathtub, and help Eeyore search for his tail. Pooh's intentions are always the best, but his passion for honey and condensed milk keeps getting him into trouble.
"...Oh bother! Adventure Theatre is currently presenting a hunny of a show with Le Clanché du Rand's delightful stage adaptation of A.A. Milne's Winnie the Pooh. Under the fine direction of Shirley Serotsky, Milne's 100 Acre Wood and its inhabitants magically come to life with a story of lost tales, huffalumps, and much more."
"...Adventure Theatre MTC is dedicated to educating and inspiring new generations of theatre artists and audiences, and productions such as "Winnie the Pooh" does a phenomenal job of doing just that for the youngest patrons. Seize the opportunity to cultivate an early love of theatre in your littlest ones by taking them on a trip to Hundred Acre Wood with "Winnie the Pooh" at Adventure Theatre MTC."
"...This show skews on the young side-noted by the 8-9 year-old behind me who declared he was not really into it. But, all the littles seemed glued, and my own 3-year-old guest declared her approval at the end, saying she liked it, clapping at all the right moments, and staying fully awake the whole show. It gets funny for the adults about half way through, when the Jamaican Owl shows up, Piglet takes on some gumption to great affect, and Eeyore expresses pure delight (with his customary ho-hum tone) at his destroyed birthday present."

Boulevard Solitude è un Lyrisches Drama (dramma lirico) o opera in un atto di Hans Werner Henze su libretto tedesco di Grete Weil dall'opera di Walter Jockisch, a sua volta una rivisitazione moderna del romanzo Manon Lescaut dell'Abbé Prévost del 1731.

Storia
Il pezzo è una rielaborazione della storia di Manon Lescaut, già adattata come opera lirica da Auber, Massenet e Puccini e qui trasferita a Parigi dopo la seconda guerra mondiale dove, come si nota in Grove, il fulcro della storia si allontana da Manon e si dirige verso Armand des Grieux. È diventata la prima opera a tutti gli effetti di Henze. Il lavoro si distingue per le sue forti influenze jazz, da un compositore fino ad allora associato alla tecnica dodecafonica.

La prima fu data il 17 febbraio 1952, al Landestheater di Hannover.

Storia dell'esecuzione
Sebbene non sia mai entrata a far parte del repertorio operistico standard, Boulevard Solitude ha continuato ad essere messa in scena dopo la prima. Fu presentata sia a Napoli che a Roma nel 1954 ed ebbe la sua prima nel Regno Unito a Londra dalla New Opera Company al Teatro Sadler's Wells nel 1962, dove il cast includeva Peter Glossop e April Cantelo. La prima rappresentazione negli Stati Uniti fu alla Santa Fe Opera nel 1967.

L'opera continua ad essere rappresentata ed è popolare tra il pubblico, con una ripresa londinese nel 2001 che continua a vendere molto bene, nonostante l'accoglienza critica molto negativa e gli attacchi della stampa scandalistica. Anche una nuova produzione della Welsh National Opera nel 2014 è stata ben accolta.

Ruoli

Trama
Scena 1: The waiting room of a busy train station in a large French city.
The student Armand des Grieux meets a young woman by the name of Manon Lescaut, who is being brought to boarding school in Lausanne by her brother.  Armand instantly falls in love with Manon, and the two run off to Paris together.

Scena 2: un attico a Parigi.

I due vivono insieme felicemente, anche se in povertà, in una mansarda. Armand è stato tagliato fuori dal padre a causa del suo stile di vita dissoluto ed è costretto a chiedere soldi al suo amico Francis. Ma il fratello di Manon riappare durante l'assenza di Armand e la convince a visitare un suo ammiratore, il ricco uomo anziano Lilaque Sr.

Scena 3: Una stanza elegante nella casa di Lilaque.

Manon diventa l'amante di Lilaque Sr., ma rimane innamorata di Armand. Suo fratello appare e la implora per avere denaro. Quando lei glielo rifiuta dicendo che non ne ha, irrompe nella cassaforte di Lilaque Sr. Ma Lilaque li scopre e sfratta Manon.

Scena 4: La biblioteca dell'università.
Qualche tempo dopo, Armand, Francis e alcuni altri studenti stanno studiando l'opera del poeta romano Catullo. Armand è ancora innamorato di Manon ma questo amore sta svanendo. Francis racconta ad Armand del furto di Manon a Lilaque e della sua espulsione dalla sua casa, ma Armand non ci crede. Francis esce con rabbia ed entra Manon. Manon e Armand leggono una poesia che ravviva il loro amore.

Scena 5: In un bar.

Manon e Armand sono di nuovo insieme. Armand è dipendente dalla droga per cercare di dimenticare il passato. Lescaut (il fratello di Manon) gli porta della cocaina in un bar e chiede di Manon, che desidera procurarne a Lilaque Jr. Quando Manon arriva Armand si arrabbia con Lescaut e Lilaque Jr. Manon cerca di calmarlo e poi se ne va con i due uomini. Armand riceve il messaggio che Manon desidera vederlo il giorno successivo, quando Lilaque se ne va. Armand rimane confuso.

Scena 6: L'appartamento di Lilaque Jr.

Armand e Manon sono insieme nella camera da letto di Lilaque Jr. Manon è soddisfatta della nuova situazione di essere sotto la protezione di Lilaque Jr. ma Armand ha nostalgia del passato in cui vive ancora. Lescaut appare e avverte Armand che dovrebbe andarsene prima che i servi lo trovino. Armand ritaglia una foto dalla sua cornice per venderla, ma viene scoperto da un servitore che segnala l'incidente a Lilaque Sr. che chiama la polizia. Lescaut combatte con Lilaque Sr. fino a quando Manon spara al vecchio con un revolver che era stato premuto nella sua mano da suo fratello. Mentre Lescaut e Armand fuggono, Manon viene arrestato.

Scena 7: L'esterno di una prigione.

Armand arriva sperando di vedere la sua ex amante prima che venga imprigionata. La scena si conclude con i brani musicali della vita di coppia.

Q: What are the differences between the MGM cuts and the German DVD cut?
As the second of the three films legendary filmmaker Sergio Leone collaborated on with Clint Eastwood (not to mention his first with Lee Van Cleef and his second with 'Fistful' actor Gian Maria Volonte), For a Few Dollars More gets well earned respect from the fans of the director and the groundbreaking star. And yet, occasionally there are those who'll not even know this film from Leone and Clint exists since it does sometimes get under the shadow of their two most infamous works, Fistful of Dollars (which for the most part introduced Clint and Leone to the public's awareness) and The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (which solidified Clint as a Western icon and gave Leone a similar status for film buffs). But taken as a film unto itself, aside from its place in the trilogy, this is a Western that simply delivers the goods, and it does so with a spectacular marriage of style and substance.
The story begins by introducing our two (anti) heroes, bounty hunters Douglas Mortimer (Cleef), former Colonel, and Monco (Eastwood), a drifter. They both set their sights on the leader of a gang of bandits named Indio (Volonte), who is plotting to go after over a million locked in a bank in El Paso. At first, Monco and Mortimer seem like their after Indio for the same reason- reward money- though there seems to be more than each man counted on with him and his gang.
From the opening scenes with Cleef and Eastwood, to the scenes in El Paso, and then into the set pieces in the stone ruins in the Mexico desert(s), For a Few Dollars More displays the utmost skill by Leone in his storytelling, as well as in his use of the camera. Using Fistful's camera-man Massimo Dallamano, Leone does what he does best in his spaghetti westerns- he creates a perfectly in sync mood with his characters: each look in a scene, whether it's intense waiting for guns to be drawn, or just regular conversation, the look of the film draws the viewer in without over-doing it. Some points are made bold or repetitious (like Ennio Morricone's score, that keeps its whistling theme and serene watch theme completely in check), though it's not done to any degree of annoyance or by accident.

After making it to the Championships in the Fall, Stonehill College Women's Rugby is back for the spring season. The team will have their first tournament, with eight other teams, this Saturday, Feb. 20 at Bryant University.
The spring season will place the Skyhawk's against other club rugby teams such as MIT, Holy Cross, Providence College, UMass Lowell, and UNH. Stonehill is set to play in four tournaments this Spring, two of which will be hosted at home.
Last spring season the team won the Rugby New England (RNE) 7's league, then went on the place fifth at the American Collegiate Rugby Association (ACRA) national tournament. The Skyhawk's with a lot of new faces to the team this year will be looking to defend their title at the RNE game.
"I joined the women's rugby team because I wanted to be in a team that trusts each other and hangs out not only on the field but also outside the field. I feel like the women's rugby team is my small community," said freshman Wafae Elarar.
The tournament on Saturday will show the team where they stand against a lot of the competition for the season. While the fall places them against similar teams, the spring season throws many more into the mix. In rugby the spring season is like a whole new game, changing the amount of players on the field from fifteen to seven. The much faster pace requires a lot of strategy adjustment.
"We're really excited to start our spring season, especially given that we had such a successful 2017 spring season. We have a great mix of experienced veterans and new members that will add energy to the team. We plan on continuing the momentum we had from our successful fall season and building," said senior Kaleigh Gilliand, co-captain.
Stonehill will start the night off against UMass Lowell, next playing Babson, and then Endicott. A winner's pool will be created to decide the later games.
Be sure to keep your schedules open to cheer on the team, and watch the most intense sport on campus, April 16 and April 22 for the two home tournaments!

Bears Go Bowling
Baylor Football defeated Texas Tech 35-24 in the regular-season finale at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, and with that win became bowl eligible. The Bears subsequently earned an invitation to the Texas Bowl against Vanderbilt University from the Southeastern Conference. It was the program's 24th all-time bowl appearance and eighth in the last nine seasons. It also was Baylor's second Texas Bowl appearance (2010 vs. Illinois). The Bears' five-win regular-season improvement from the 2017 season matched Florida and Syracuse as the best improvements among Power Five programs. Only Georgia Southern (seven wins) and Cincinnati (six wins) had better improvements than Baylor among all Football Bowl Subdivision teams. Receiver Jalen Hurd was named Big 12 Conference Newcomer of the Year. Punter Drew Galitz earned first-team All-Big 12 honors, while defensive lineman James Lynch and linebacker Clay Johnston were second-team all-conference honorees.
Fanning, Pressley Earn Volleyball All-America Honors
Junior middle blocker Shelly Fanning and sophomore outside hitter Yossiana Pressley earned American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) All-America honors for the second consecutive season. Fanning was a second-team selection, while Pressley earned honorable mention. Both were honorable mention picks in 2017.
Fanning joins Katie Staiger (2016) as the program's only second-team All-Americans; no Baylor Volleyball player has ever earned first-team honors. Pressley and Fanning were both unanimous first-team All-Big 12 Conference selections and AVCA All-Southwest Region honorees, as well. Additionally, Fanning, who is a sport management master's student, was named Big 12 Scholar-Athlete of the Year.
Baylor was 20-9 on the season, reaching the NCAA Tournament for the third consecutive season and finishing second in the Big 12 for the second straight season. The Bears defeated perennial power Hawai`i in the first round of the NCAA Tournament before falling to No. 15 national seed Oregon in a thrilling five-set, second-round match.
Baylor Student-Athletes Set Top Graduation Success Rate Marks
For the fifth consecutive year, Baylor student-athletes graduated at a higher rate than their counterparts at any other Big 12 Conference school. The University led the Big 12 in Graduation Success Rate (GSR), a metric developed to assess academic performance of student-athletes. The GSR title is Baylor's ninth overall; Baylor has finished either first or second in 10 of the last 12 years.
Baylor's overall score of 90 was two points higher than the University of Texas at Austin and Iowa State University, who tied for second place. Four Baylor sports finished with the top possible score; men's golf, women's golf, soccer and women's tennis all finished with perfect 100 sores.
Williams Golf Facility Dedicated
During Homecoming festivities, Baylor dedicated the Billy W. Williams Golf Practice Facility and Clubhouse. The venue provides the latest advances in training and support for Baylor golf student-athletes while preparing them as Champions for Life.
Williams, BBA '63, and his family of Hinsdale, Illinois, provided the multimillion-dollar gift for the facility in 2015, months before his death Dec. 14, 2015, at age 74. His wife Elaine, their three children and extended family members attended the dedication ceremony.
"Along with the recent launch of the University's Give Light campaign, we gratefully celebrate the generosity of Billy and Elaine Williams through the dedication of the new clubhouse bearing their name," Baylor Vice President and Director of Athletics Mack B. Rhoades IV said. "We are grateful for Billy's legacy and honor his memory, and we give thanks for Elaine and the Williams family's continued support."
The Billy W. Williams Golf Practice Facility and Clubhouse is located on a 16.5-acre site along University Parks Drive. It includes a practice course, driving ranges and a 7,975-square-foot clubhouse for Baylor's nationally recognized men's and women's golf teams.
On the course, Baylor's men's team claimed the 2018 Big 12 Conference Match Play Tournament title in October, defeating Kansas 5-1 in the title match.
Soccer Wins Big 12 Championship, Matches Best-Ever Postseason Finish
Baylor Soccer claimed a Big 12 Conference title, won more games than any team in program history and matched their deepest postseason run in a 2018 season that continued the program's ascent to be one of the nation's best.
Hopes were high following the 2017 season, when the Bears reached the national quarterfinals for the first time. Baylor began the year with a top 15 national ranking and subsequently built a résumé that led the Bears to their highest postseason seeding. Baylor reeled off eight straight victories in conference play to claim the program's fourth Big 12 title. Their impressive regular season schedule included victories over four teams that reached the NCAA Championships, and two Top 25 opponents in Butler and West Virginia.
The Bears earned a No. 2 national seed in the NCAA Tournament, Baylor's highest perch in program history. Home victories over Abilene Christian, No. 13 Vanderbilt and No. 12 Virginia propelled the Bears to their second-straight Elite Eight, where they fell to top-seeded Georgetown. With a final record of 20-6, the Bears set a program record for victories and finished with a No. 11 national ranking.
Head coach Paul Jobson was named Big 12 Coach of the Year. Julie James and Sarah King earned first-team All-Big 12 honors, Jennifer Wandt and Camryn Wendleandt were named to the second team, and Taylor Moon and Kayley Ables were All-Freshman selections.

NYC to Pay Akai Gurley's Family $4.1 Million
© Brendan McDermid / Reuters
New York City will pay more than $4 million to the family of Akai Gurley, a Brooklyn man who was killed by a ricocheting bullet after a patrolling police officer fired a shot in a pitch dark stairwell two years ago. The officer, Peter Liang, who claimed he fired his gun by accident, will pay an additional $25,000 while the New York City Housing Authority will pay $400,000, owing to the fact that the stairwell was not properly lit. Liang was initially convicted of involuntary manslaughter and fired by the police department, but the conviction was later reduced to criminally negligent homicide, and he escaped jail time. The officer was performing a patrol in the building and had his gun out and his finger on the trigger, a violation of NYPD procedure, when he entered the dark stairwell one floor above Gurley and fired a shot which ricocheted off a wall and hit Gurley in the chest. "The shot was accidental," Liang said to Gurley's family at the sentencing. "My life has forever changed."

Ctenomys rionegrensis är en gnagare i släktet kamråttor som förekommer i Sydamerika.

Arten blir utan svans 15 till 25 cm lång och den väger 100 till 700 g. Den korta halsen, de små öronen, det stora huvudet och de stora klorna vid framtassarna är anpassningar till ett underjordiskt liv. Pälsen kan antingen vara helt svart, mörk på ovansidan och ljusare på undersidan eller agouti. Ctenomys rionegrensis har stora framtänder med orange tandemalj för att gräva. Arten skiljer sig från andra släktmedlemmar i avvikande detaljer av hannens penisben.

Denna kamråtta har flera från varandra skilda populationer i nordöstra Argentina och västra Uruguay. Den lever i sanddyner vid floderna Rio Paraná, Río Negro och Río Uruguay.

Ctenomys rionegrensis skapar underjordiska tunnelsystem och varje exemplar lever ensam. Hannar och honor träffas bara när honan är brunstig. Arten äter olika växtdelar som gräs, rötter och unga växtskott. För en bättre ämnesomsättning äter kamråttan liksom hardjur sin egen avföring (koprofagi). Parningen sker under hösten (mars till juni på södra jordklotet) och efter cirka 100 dagar dräktighet föds två till fyra ungar per kull. Livslängden i naturen uppskattas vara tre år. Arten har flera naturliga fiender som medelstora rovdjur, större bältdjur, ugglor och större ormar.

I flera fall blev sanddynerna omvandlade till odlingsmark vad som minskar beståndets storlek. IUCN listar arten därför som starkt hotad (EN).

Fluids and fluid-structure
Home » Consultancy » Fluids and fluid-structure
Sloshing oscillations in tanks
The application of horizontal dynamic loads to liquid storage tanks gives rise to both impulsive and convective effects in the stored liquid. The latter entail oscillations of the free surface of the liquid, which are known as sloshing.
The video shows results obtained with Abaqus CEL when modelling this phenomenon.
Wind effects on bridges
The dynamic effects of wind action on structures with large dimensions may be sufficiently important that the static approximations become clearly inapplicable. For large structures, the use of gust factors may be too crude as a methodology; instead, spectral methods are required, which provide a better description of the random characteristics of the wind.
Principia has applied these methods in bridges of various types. The example shown here corresponds to a concrete viaduct, with long spans and very high piers; its response under wind loading was studied both in the service conditions and in various construction phases.
The figure shows some of the vibration modes of the viaduct.
Fluid-structure interaction at the Panamá Canal locks
Analyses were conducted to study the seismic response of the new locks of the enlarged Panamá Canal.
Apart from the deformability of the steel locks, the studies took account of their interaction with the various water masses, the compressibility of the water, the radiation of energy through the ground, and other complex phenomena.
The amplified distortions of one of the locks can be seen in the figure.
Cavitation and transients in a distributor
Principia simulated the effects caused by the sudden depressurisation of a distributor in the course of pressure tests carried out at a hydroelectric plant. The reverse water hammer produces cavitation, water column separation, and subsequent implosions.
The calculations, which must account for the interaction of the structure with the contained liquid and vapour, were carried out in the absence of information about the outcome of the accident, but turned out to reproduce very precisely the observations.
Design of a "morning glory" spillway
A number of different design configurations were analysed for one of the largest "morning glory" spillways in the world, specifically for the Calanda reservoir in the Guadalope river.
The simulations conducted allowed arriving at configurations that avoided cavitation problems while satisfying the rest of the design requirements imposed. The figure shows trajectories, colour-coded with the local velocities.
Analysis of effluent dispersion in water bodies
Electricity generation, as well as a number of other industrial processes, frequently need to shed heat, which is frequently achieved by cooling with waters that are eventually discharged into the sea, rivers or reservoirs. Some processes, like desalination, produce water with a composition that differs substantially from that of the receiving body of water. And others, like the regasification of natural gas, generate effluents that are cooler than the receiving waters. All those situations require studying the dispersion and mixing of the effluent with the receiving waters in order to evaluate the impact on the environment.
Principia has carried out studies in all the contexts listed. The calculations are usually parametric in order to account for the intrinsically variable nature of many of the parameters like the meteorologic and oceanographic ones.
The example shown combines calculated temperatures with those measured from a boat.The other figure displays surface temperatures obtained by aerial infrared photography. The effluent corresponds to the cooling waters from a nuclear power plant.
Recovery of fuel from the Prestige tanker
The Prestige tanker foundered in November 2002 some 130 miles from the Galician coast. Repsol accepted the government's request to solve the problem posed by the fuel still stored in the wreck at a depth of nearly 4 km.
Principia collaborated with Repsol with many types of calculations in support of their activities. Those included the structural evolution of the ship while sinking and impacting the sea bottom, the simulation of the fuel behaviour in the various alternatives for extraction and transfer to the surface, and a series of other physical problems associated with the fuel recovery.
The first picture shows the tanker shortly before foundering. The other presents the bow portion of the ship in a picture obtained by sonar scanning.
Alterations of the freatic surface
The construction of underground works very often affects the subsurface flows and the freatic surface in the ground due to the barriers introduced by the construction. Particularly in urban areas, such effects must be limited to prevent flooding of basements, differential settlements, cracking problems, etc. The construction of new metro lines and the burial of existing railway tracks are typical originators of these problems.
Principia has carried out this type of studies for new metro lines in cities like Valencia or Sevilla; in relation with the burial of railway lines in Logroño, Oliva, etc; and for other urban tunnels like the one under Plaza de Colón in Barcelona.
The following figures present an example. The first one shows the changes predicted in the freatic surface in a certain case in the absence of any remedial measures; the second one is similar, but now incorporating some measures to mitigate the barrier effect that the construction would impose on the subsurface flow.

My current focus is creating site-specific installations that are developed through careful research and community engagement; I am particularly interested in involving the public in an interactive way that unfolds in tandem with the creation of my work.
I would describe my artistic practice as simultaneously rigorous and flexible; I will research and document a topic that interests me and then use that material as a generative source to create my site specific installations in a spontaneous and reactive way. I often develop my work to change depending on how it is viewed – sometimes this is as subtle as surface engraving that appears and disappears depending on the light. By adding this level of interaction, I hope to draw attention to how there is rarely one fixed visual experience but instead a series of encounters that shift depending on perspective.
In our current political environment it has become increasingly important to me to actively involve the community where my work is made as a means to be socially responsible and to encourage creative reciprocity. I believe my role as an artist is to find meaningful ways to combine my interest in political activism with my studio practice, to address issues of the reliability of evidence and information from these two parallel tracks.

How anyone can help frontline medical workers fight the coronavirus
Mark Albert
Chief National Investigative Correspondent
after the governor of New York put out a call for medical volunteers to help during the Corona virus. 90,000 responded, although we've learned only 13% are being used right now, Maur volunteers are stepping forward across the country as well. As our panel of doctors told us, Mrs Hardy, you oversee six hospitals there in Northern California. Are you looking for volunteers? What's the situation? There were actually starting to solicit volunteers in our community as well as the schools nursing schools, in particular those students that are in their fourth quarter right now, they're not able to do their clinical rotations. So we're looking at ways that we can bring them into our hospitals and use them not as registered nurses but using their skill set to help us in augmenting. Our nursing staff were also utilizing graduating medical students early in our in our rural health programs to help with some of that surge protection with providers. And that's a new program that we're starting a very special gift. And there are the acts of kindness, like one from a 12 year old girl in Modesto, California, that came to Dr Stefan Flores at Columbia medicine in New York. Sahana was nice enough to take her life savings and create each of US personal handmade pins titled Frontline Heroes. Well, I just want to say Thank Yu Sano. We truly appreciate it and sending much love and positive buys from the front line of New York City in Washington, I'm chief national investigative correspondent Mark Albert.
Many Americans left trapped in their homes during the novel coronavirus pandemic have wondered if they could use their time helping medical workers, especially if they have a medical background of their own. After New York Governor Andrew Cuomo put out a call for medical volunteers to help during the coronavirus, 90,000 responded — although only 13% are being used right now.To find how volunteers are being used in the coronavirus age, Mark Albert asked Laurie Harting, system CEO of Dignity Health Hospitals and Dr. Dana Hawkinson of the University of Kansas Health System, what they have seen as far as volunteer efforts go."You oversee six hospitals there in northern California," Albert said to Harting. "Are you looking for volunteers? What's the situation there?"

Working in NYC on the frontlines, it's easy to get sucked into the negativity, but I want to share some positivity.

Lewis Hamilton has mastered a treacherous Monza circuit to claim his record-breaking 69th career pole position ahead of the Italian Grand Prix.
Crowd favourite Ferrari, however, mustered just seventh and eighth at the team's home grand prix on a title-critical weekend.
Qualifying lasted for more than three and a half hours as rain drenched the circuit, making conditions too poor for the cars to attempt to qualify.
A two-and-a-half-hour red-flag period during Q1 covered the worst of weather, but the rain waxed and waned thereafter, making conditions extremely difficult to judge for the drivers, who were perpetually on the fence between intermediate and wet tyres.
The rain intensified for Q3, necessitating use of the blue-striped wet tyre, and the longer the session lasted, the more grip the drivers found — until Hamilton hooked up his ultimate lap that proved untouchable.
His time — a 1 minute 34.660 seconds — was 1.148 seconds faster than anyone else, earning him his new record.
Max Verstappen outqualified Daniel Ricciardo by a tenth of a second in second and third, but neither car will start there after both take significant engine-change penalties that will demote them to the back of the field.
Their demotions promote Lance Stroll, who set the fourth-fastest time, to second on the grid, making the Canadian the youngest front-row starter in Formula One history.
Esteban Ocon will start from third after qualifying fifth, 0.1 seconds ahead of Valtteri Bottas in the second Mercedes.
But the most notable result was recorded by Ferrari, which swung from favourite in the mixed conditions earlier in qualifying to bombing out in seventh and eighth — which will become fifth and sixth after Red Bull Racing's penalties — by the end of the afternoon.
"I'm surprised, let's say, by how quickly the others went," Vettel, who qualified behind Kimi Raikkonen, told Sky Sports.
The German, who leads the drivers championship by just seven points, maintained he was optimistic for the race, however.
The drivers were divided in deciding between the intermediate and the wet tyre after Q1 suggested the intermediate rubber wasn't providing enough grip on the cold and damp circuit.
Daniel Ricciardo Max Verstappen, Sergio Perez, Esteban Ocon, Daniil Kvyat, Nico Hülkenberg and Carlos Sainz started on the wet compound, which early in the session appeared to be the correct choice; however, after five minutes of circulation the green-marked intermediate compound began to find performance.
By this stage the circuit was improving rapidly despite reports of rain threatening to drench the track a second time.
The results came down to a series of last-gasp laps after the flag, with the major result being McLaren's Stoffel Vandoorne setting the ninth-fastest time to bump Sergio Perez's Force India out of the top-10 shootout.
Perez missed out on Q3 by 0.002 seconds but was comfortably ahead of Renault's Hülkenberg, McLaren's Fernando Alonso and Toro Rosso's Daniil Kvyat and Carlos Sainz.
Saturday morning practice ran for only 15 of its scheduled 60 minutes due to the weather, and by the time qualifying started two hours later conditions had deteriorated significantly.
The session nonetheless started as planned — the rain had reduced in intensity, though it remained consistent so that the standing water could not drain from the surface — but it took just four and a half minutes for the conditions to claim a victim.
Romain Grosjean's Haas aquaplaned on the start-finish straight and careered from the left barrier to the right, coming to rest in the grass.
The chief culprit was the resurfacing of parts of the straight, which Pirelli said made it more slippery than the rest of the circuit.
The race director immediately threw a red flag to recover the car, but conditions intensified in the meanwhile, causing the suspension to last for more than two and a half hours.
With Grosjean out, only four cars risked missing out on Q2 in the mixed conditions, which became fit for intermediate tyres less than 10 minutes into the resumption.
With six minutes remaining the entire field filtered through pit lane to switch onto the green-marked tyres, but few drivers found more grip compared to that offered by the wet compound.
Haas's Kevin Magnussen was eliminated in P16 ahead of Renault's Jolyon Palmer, who mistimed his final run and missed the chequered flag, and Sauber duo Marcus Ericsson and Pascal Wehrlein.


Church reaction against the book was swift, and Galileo was summoned to Rome. The Inquisition proceedings lasted from September 1632 to July 1633. During most of this time, Galileo was treated with respect and never imprisoned. However, in a final attempt to break him, Galileo was threatened with torture, and he finally admitted he had supported Copernican theory, but privately held that his statements were correct. He was convicted of heresy and spent his remaining years under house arrest. Though ordered not to have any visitors nor have any of his works printed outside of Italy, he ignored both. In 1634, a French translation of his study of forces and their effects on matter was published, and a year later, copies of the Dialogue were published in Holland. While under house arrest, Galileo wrote Two New Sciences, a summary of his lifes work on the science of motion and strength of materials. It was printed in Holland in 1638. By this time, he had become blind and in ill health.


Between you and I, I think haircare is a very funny thing. Every so often, something cool comes along and before you know it, every salon, shop and mall stall is offering you a piece . Hands up if you've heard of Moroccan Oil? Brazilian Blowdries? Ombre or dip dye? When something new and innovative comes out, it's special and exclusive but give it 6 months and it becomes so ubiquitous that it ends up losing its lustre. Brazilian blowdries used to be the preserve of high end salons due to their technical nature and now the local salon in Ealing is offering them at 80% off on Groupon (with complimentary slap dash application). Likewise with ombre, it looks fantastic when done properly but with L'Oreal's newest "Wild Ombre" home hair colour, is Lily Aldridge's hair still covetable when your 15 year old neighbour is giving it a whirl?
This is why I love Joe's Salon in Mayfair. Truly passionate about hair, Joe carefully curates the services offered to ensure every treatment on offer is cutting edge and exclusive. When I popped in for a haircut in December, I learnt all about GKhair which is an absolute revolution. As someone with super long, coloured hair, I'm always on the lookout for sometime to nourish my locks. I've had a Brazilian Blowdry before and while my hair was a little softer and smoother, it didn't seem much healthier and there was no straightening benefit at all.
The GKHair Taming System is essentially a Brazilian Blowdry 3.0, moving the treatment on several steps allowing for a completely customised treatment depending on what your hair type is and the result you want – making this the perfect treatment whether you have super curly hair which you want straight or you just want your wavy hair to be smoother and more manageable. GKHair uses super ingredient Juxexin, which is a special blend of proteins and peptides optimised specifically for hair repair. The system penetrates the hair shaft to deliver a repairing and restoring boost of protein, enabling hair to better withstand heat, make it less prone to breakage and improves the lubricity of hair, giving hair overall better manageability. This little miracle worker essentially rejuvenates your hair while strengthening and straightening it for around 5 month.
GKHair Taming System is available exclusively at Joe's Salon.

This Guide is designed to simplify course enrolment, paying your fees, and everything in-between. It will guide you through these steps so that you can focus less on how to do it, and more on what's really important – your goals and how to best achieve them.
The 2 steps to registration include enrolling into your courses on ACORN and paying or deferring your fees by the deadline to reserve your spot in the courses you chose.
Don't worry - you're not alone. If you have questions or concerns about any of the steps below, we're here to help!
Use the Academic Calendar to explore the courses and programs at U of T Mississauga.
The UTM Timetable lists the courses offered for the upcoming year, when and where they take place, and important enrolment information such as enrolment controls.
ACORN maintains a record of your academic history and performance. You will use it to enrol in courses, view grades and tuition fees, and much more. To login, use your JOINid/UTORid and password. TIP: Check out the ACORN how-to guide for step-by-step tutorials on how to use it!
You are invited to enrol in courses for the upcoming session and/or you have selected courses.
If you made a recent payment, it has not yet been received.
You have enrolled in at least one course, and your tuition payment or fee deferral has been accepted. Your registration is complete!
There are academic and financial reasons to explain why this status appears on your ACORN account.
You enrolled in courses, but missed the deadline to pay or defer your fees. If you wish to take courses, and register for the upcoming session, please read the instructions on late registration carefully.
No action was taken. You did not enrol in courses for the upcoming session, and the deadline to register has passed. This status has been placed on your account to reflect that you are not currently registered, and therefore, no fees will be charged for the session.
You have been placed on academic suspension. Please review your academic history on ACORN. Students on suspension will receive an official email from the Office of the Registrar regarding the terms of their suspension.
Students who are financially cancelled may submit a request for late registration in order to add courses on ACORN.
Your resource for checking course, program and degree requirements is the Academic Calendar.
Follow the degree requirements listed in the Academic Calendar for the session you were admitted to the university as a degree student (i.e., If you were admitted to the university beginning September 2018, you would follow the degree requirements listed in the 2018-2019 Academic Calendar).
You are eligible to choose a program or combination of programs on ACORN once you have completed 4.0 credits.
Follow the program requirements listed in the Academic Calendar for the session that you enrolled in the program (i.e., If you enrolled in a program in the Summer of 2018, you would follow the program requirements listed in the 2018-2019 Academic Calendar).
Over the course of your degree, you must complete at least 1.0 credit from the following divisions: Humanities, Social Sciences, and Sciences. Distribution requirements are an important part of your degree requirements. Click here to learn more.
Elective courses are courses outside of your program of study.

We'll guide you through how to check your course enrolment start time, how to plan your courses, how to build a weekly schedule, what to do if you are unable to add a course, and more.
Students enrolled in 3.0 credits or more in the Fall-Winter session are considered full-time.
Students enrolled in 2.5 credits or less are considered part-time.
ACORN will allow you to enrol or waitlist in a maximum of 2.5 credits in each term (or 3.0 credits beginning July 27). If you are waitlisted in the maximum number of credits, and need additional courses, you must be prepared to make a decision on whether to remain on the waitlist, or remove yourself from the waitlist in order to add a course with available space.
Note: Full-time and part-time status for OSAP is assessed differently. See the OSAP section for more information.
We highly recommend that you meet with an Academic Advisor to discuss an academic plan for the upcoming year. It's very important that you select courses that will help you achieve good standing, or to be eligible to continue on probation at the end of the Winter session.
Note: Academic probation with the University is not the same as OSAP probation.
We're committed to ensuring that graduating students can enrol in a set of courses that will allow them to graduate in a normal period of time. This commitment depends upon the student doing all that is necessary at the optimum and appropriate times as indicated in this guide and in the Academic Calendar.
Students must have enrolled in appropriate programs (changes to program in the final year of graduation may not be considered), completed appropriate prerequisites, and requested courses from a full range of the possible options that would allow them to complete their program and degree. Students must have used ACORN to attempt to enrol in these courses at the earliest possible opportunity.
If students are still unable to obtain required courses for graduation, they should meet with an Academic Advisor in the Office of the Registrar during the first registration period to receive guidance on their next steps.
Use Degree Explorer to review your degree and program requirements. If you have any questions about your degree requirements you should meet with an Academic Advisor in the Office of the Registrar. Please meet with your undergraduate department advisor to review your program requirements.
You can view your eligibility to graduate in early May.
Students who appear as though they may complete 20.0 credits will have a request to graduate entered onto their ACORN record. Students who confirm their request to graduate and are assessed as "complete" will have their degrees conferred at the next available convocation ceremony whether or not they are able to attend.
When Can You Add Courses?
Your start time is determined by your year of study. Your year of study is defined by the total number of credits you have earned, or expect to earn, by the end of August.
Degree students can view their personal course enrolment start time on ACORN by clicking "Enrol and Manage" from the Academics menu option.
First time enrolling in courses at UTM? Learn how to enrol in courses here.
Our office has dedicated staff who can provide you with one-on-one support to answer any questions you may have about course selection and academic options.
Program advisors in each academic department are also available to discuss your program requirements. You can find their name and contact information in the Calendar.
Fees are determined by the number of credits you take and by the program you are enrolled in.
Some programs are deregulated, meaning they have higher fees and a different fee structure. Refer to the Fees for Deregulated Programs section of the Program Selection Guide for details. It is important to be aware of the fee structure before adding a deregulated program.
These fees support student services such as athletics and recreation, student societies, and more. Incidental fees vary for full-time and part-time students. If you are enrolled full-time (3.0 credits or more), and then drop to part-time, you should do this within the 100% refund period, otherwise, you will be subject to full-time incidental fees.
These fees are associated with your program of study and specific academic activities such as lab or studio fees.
International students are charged higher tuition fees than domestic students. Determine whether you may be eligible for an international fee exemption.

The Dates & Deadlines page includes the deadlines to receive full or partial refunds for dropped courses, and the last day to drop a course and have it removed from your academic record.
UTM students who enrol in courses at other U of T divisions (Scarborough or St. George) follow the UTM academic and financial drop dates, with the exception of the deadline to request a late withdrawal after the drop date (LWD) or Credit/No Credit.
Students who rely on OSAP or other government aid should speak with a Financial Aid Advisor before dropping a course. In some cases, dropping courses may result in significant changes to your funding and jeopardize future funding eligibility.
Should you decide to drop all of your courses in the Fall-Winter Session, ACORN will ask if you would like to cancel your registration before you drop your final course. If you are sure that you do not intend to enrol in other courses in the Summer session, cancel your registration. Cancelling your registration will trigger a full or partial refund of incidental/ancillary fees if you do so within the appropriate time frames. Full details can be found on the Student Accounts website.
