If you look at Palawan on a world map, it doesn't take up much space, and at first I thought that it might be possible to cycle round the island in 3 weeks. But after reading how long the bus journeys were I realised that my plans were a bit ambitious and I'm probably not fit enough to get from one town to the next let alone around the island, so my next idea was to rent a motorbike.
I tried to do a bit of online research before going but couldn't find much except websites for a few bike rental shops, which were asking for around 600 pesos a day for a bike (50 Pesos = $1USD). I didn't book anything and thought I would wait until I got to Palawan to work things out.
Luckily the owner of my hostel in Puerto Princessa, had a couple of bikes (A scooter and a Honda VRM 125) that he rents out for 450 pesos per day. I asked him what his best price would be for 20 days expecting maybe a few hundred pesos off of the original price but he surprised me by letting me have it for 3000pesos for 20 days.
The first day I got the bike I went for a little ride, which evolved into a plan to ride to Sabang – the site of the 'famous' Underground River one of the new 7 wonders of the world. I stopped a few times and took a few photos. It was tiring in the midday heat and I had only managed about 25km after around 3 hours of riding. I slipped on my sunglasses pondering whether to go back, whilst I sipped on a Pineapple juice, and caught site of my glowing hands, so red I could almost hear them. Decision made,………I rode back to Puerto and the nearest (only?) supermarket and bought a bottle of factor 60 sun protection cream, which still didn't stop me getting burned somewhere new everyday – and if it had already been burnt, then it would just get burnt again.
So with the understanding that I needed to protect myself from the sun, I set off the next morning for El Nido at 8 am. Hoping to make it to El Nido, then on to another resort called 'Tapik', in Sibaltan - which according to it's website is one a half hours drive from El Nido. They also suggest that you don't attempt it at night as the roads are quite bad. They fail to mention that so is the placement of roadsigns, lighting, and the sense of direction of most people that you are going to ask how to get to Tapik. The journey to El Nido, actually was much more of an enjoyable ride than I had expected following the previous day's sweat and burn fest.
One of the main reasons that I wanted to travel by bike was to have the freedom to stop where I wanted and take photos. I had to work out the most comfortable way to carry a backpack a camera and a larger backpack strapped to the back of the bike. I decided on the 70 – 200mm Nikkor lens, as I realised from my practice run the day before that it was better to have the longer lens to be able to pick up any scenes from afar, and if it is a car for example you have more of a chance to shoot it before it speeds off out of sight. Also working out the order in which to put things on took a while to get used to: bag, camera, helmet, in that order, otherwise it wouldn't work.
About 3 hours into the journey, after losing my new sunglasses during my first pit stop I arrived at Roxas – a small, dusty town where, judging by the reaction I got from the locals, few tourists seem to stop at. I bought myself a new pair of shades, filled up the bike at the petrol station and had a slap up fish lunch at a restaurant across the street.
Back on the road, I was trying to figure out the best way to take photos whilst riding a motorbike. A few times I would see a car or tricycle I wanted to take a photo of, and would overtake it, and ride full throttle for a minute or so then stop and get my camera ready and try to snap it as it went by. I tried taking photos a couple of times whilst riding, but aside from being about as dangerous as riding with your eyes closed, the photos were also too blurry.
As my petrolometer started to move towards 'E' for Empty I got slightly worried as I hadn't passed any petrol pumps for over an hour. So finally decided to stop at a crowded bus stop and shot the question out to nobody in particular, and was told by the older people in the group to go back to a shop that I had just passed and I can buy it in litres (guessed they meant bottles). So I went back, filled up the tank and hit the road again, feeling relieved that I now knew where to buy petrol. It took about 3 bottles to fill the engine and about 3 refills to get from Puerto Princessa to El Nido, costing between 41 – 60 pesos per litre (around 50 pesos = $1).
Aside from the friendly people and beautiful views that you get to see whilst riding a motorbike in Palawan, one of the less savoury and quite regular occurences was roadkill. On my first day I saw an inflated, decapitated cat, I have no idea how it got there and why there was no hole where it's head should've been. I also saw squashed dogs, flattened birds and mashed cats on a fairly regular basis, and even though I was travelling over 50 mph most of the time (so didn't see all the gory details), I saw enough to give me some memories I won't forget.
Once I reached El Nido, I headed to Sibaltan, which as previously mentioned, was a bit tougher than expected. Most of the main roads in Palawan are paved, but all of the major resorts that I visited had at least a few miles of rocky, dusty dirt tracks leading up to them, the longest being 22Km at Port Barton.
The final few kilometres to Sibaltan was when I really started to ask myself what I was doing. At one point I found myself riding up a steep, pitch black, unlit hill where the road turned to sand over a foot deep, with my bags hanging off the back of my bike precariously, my camera round my neck, and a herd of cows blocking half the road. I pressed on and after asking s few bewildered children where Tapik was, I eventually stopped at a house with a couple of friendly old ladies sitting outside, who to my delight, told me that I was about 5 minutes away.
I arrived about an hour and a half later than planned, but was impressed that I'd actually made it. The Palawan landscape is actually quite barren and quietly eerie. The fields are usually empty and throughout my trip it must've been burning season, as charred hills started appearing regularly along the road. Other motorbike drivers seem to be fairly careful on the roads, which is more than can be said for the drivers of most of the 4 wheeled vehicles, but all in all it's a fairly safe place to ride by South East Asian standards.
Most of the photos on this page were taking whilst on the road. Most of the journey's were fairly uneventful and the main distractions were the scenery. On my last journey back from Port Barton to Puerto Princessa, I was starting to hear my stomach calling for lunch when I passed what I thought was a busy restaurant, which seemed out of place, as I was riding through a village which didn't seem to have that many houses or people in it. I turned the bike around after a bit of deliberation and as soon as I pulled up, a young Philippino guy who had clearly had a few early morning shandies, came and greeted me and asked me if I wanted to join them.
As I walked into the area where everyone was (about 80 people in total), all eyes and ears were on us. A few people were heckling and almost everything this guy said was met with howls of laughter, and he seemed to be getting energised by it. It was all harmless fun…mostly at my expense. He led me to the food table, gave me a plate and told me to help myself to whatever I wanted and also piled a few things I really didn't want on my plate too.
I was really overwhelmed at the warm welcome I received. It wasn't a tourist spot and it's experiences like this that you can get travelling off the beaten track and not just being on the tourist trail. This alone was worth getting the bike for. It was a great way to end my trip and made me realise that I had barely scratched the the surface with Palawan…..

Q: splitting terms in a polynomial expression without external libraries like sympy Say i inputted "1+2x+3x^2" or "1-2x+3x^2"
How do i make a function that splits and makes a list of each term like [1, 2x, 3x^2] or [1, -2x, 3x^2].
I have been stumped at this for a while, for now the function im using currently, seperates only at the "+" so to get a list like [1, -2x, 3x^2] i have to input
"1+-2x+3x^2"
Note: I won't be using complex polynomials but simple looking ones that doesn't include parenthesis or fractions.

A: import re

s = '1+2x^2-3x^-3'

s = re.sub('\^-', 'neg', s) # trick to deal the negative powers
print(s)
s=s.replace('-','+-')
s=s.replace('neg','-')
sub = s.split('+')

print(sub)

This will split your negative power variables correctly.

Romano claims Liverpool offered Arsenal flop in shock development
Date published: Thursday 14th January 2021 11:50
Arsenal have reportedly offered Premier League rivals Liverpool the shock chance to sign one of their defenders.
Despite the fact that Jurgen Klopp claims the injury-hit Reds are unlikely to sign a centre-back, players continue to be linked with a January switch to Anfield.
Both Virgil van Dijk and Joe Gomez have been lost to long-term problems, while Joel Matip remains injury-prone.
Brighton star Ben White and Lille ace Sven Botman are two of a number of names linked with a move to Merseyside.
But in another twist, it has emerged that Arsenal may have offered out-of-favour defender Sokratis Papastathopoulos to the reigning Premier League champions.
Sokratis was left out of the Arsenal squads ahead of this season. Indeed, Mikel Arteta recently admitted that the player is set to leave.
He said when speaking about defenders: "We have Papa that probably is going to leave the club in this window. William [Saliba] has already gone on loan, so we don't have that many right now."
Sokratis's next move remains unclear at this stage. However, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano claims he has been offered to Liverpool.
"He was offered to Liverpool too, you know that? Liverpool were looking for an opportunity and he was offered to Liverpool. But at the moment he's not an option," he told the Here We Go Podcast.
Romano was asked if the defender could be an option due to his history with Klopp at Dortmund. He added: "Yes, also he could be an opportunity.
"He was an opportunity because he was offered. But at the moment Liverpool have not decided whether they're signing a centre-back or not.
"They're still in the middle of the situation, so nothing has been decided."

Clattenburg hits back at Klopp
Former Premier League referee Mark Clattenburg says that Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has no right to question the number of penalties Manchester United have earned.
Klopp pointed out earlier this month that United have had "more penalties in two years than I had in five-and-a-half years".
The Red Devils have earned six league spot kicks this season compared to the five won by Liverpool.
However, they have received 42 in all competitions since Ole Gunnar Solskjaer took over in December 2018. That compares to Liverpool's 19.
Klopp's comments have sparked debate, especially since the two arch-rivals sit first and second in the table. Solskjaer offered a muted response while one pundit has called on the German to stop with the excuses for his side's poor recent form.
However, ex-referee Clattenburg has now had his say on the debate. Writing in a column for the Daily Mail, the former official claimed that a Liverpool duo are just as bad at trying to win penalties. Read more…

This poem is inspired by the hot air balloons I see every morning from my bedroom window.
Each wanders where it pleases.
Which path is best for me?
The mists suffocate it, obscuring its efforts.
One less choice to confuse me.
No time to linger, all know the direction.
Maybe this is my path to follow.
Glaring down and offering no choices.
This is not the path for me.
Shouting its brilliance to any who see.
I watch and I know who I will be.

The Mail on Sunday today is doing what it does best. It picks up the "the world's most powerful climate scientist" and tells us: "Controversial climate change boss uses car AND driver to travel one mile to office... (but he says YOU should use public transport)".
Thus the piece presents Pachauri for what he really is – a rank hypocrite. "You might expect Dr Rajendra Pachauri to be doing everything he can to reduce his own carbon footprint," observes the MoS. But he shows "no apparent inclination to cut global warming in his own back yard", having his personal chauffeur collect him from his £4.5million home (pictured top) in a 1.8-litre Toyota Corolla for the one-mile journey from home to his Delhi office (pictured below right).
Under normal circumstances, the affairs of a wealthy man are his own business, but these are not "normal circumstances." This is the man who told us that the Western lifestyle is unsustainable and who constantly evangelises that we must reduce our personal consumption, while building himself a multi-million portfolio on the back of the climate change industry.
The extent of this man's hypocrisy is further brought home as the MoS describes how, hours later, Pachauri's chauffeur picks him up from the luxury office of his environmental "charity" (pictured below left), ignoring his institute's own literature, which gives visitors tips on how to reduce pollution by using buses.
Such plebeian transport is not for the good doctor though. He is driven in style to an upmarket restaurant popular with expatriates and well-off tourists just half a mile from his luxurious family home.
The Pachauri family has, in fact, five cars – three for the personal used of the great doctor, including a token electric car, which is rarely used as it is not "big enough" to accommodate the great climate guru and his chauffeur.
As to his luxury home, from outward appearances it is pretty tatty, although it is fully equipped with electricity-guzzling air conditioning to keep the man cool while he saves the planet.
The Golf Links area in Central Delhi where Pachauri lives is named after the nearby Delhi Golf Course and is one of the most expensive residential areas in India. Every home in this gated community has its own security guard and it enjoys round-the-clock police patrols to protect its wealthy residents.
Dr Pachauri's neighbours include a former prime minister's son and senior Indian business leaders. Indian steel tycoon Lakshmi Mittal, Britain's richest man with an estimated £10.8 billion fortune, owns a home in the same area.
Currently, homes of a similar size to Dr Pachauri's are being advertised at prices of around £6 million. Explaining the area's sky-high property prices, the director of an international property broker told India's Economic Times: "This area has a certain snob value attached to it. Buying a house here means announcing to the world that one has arrived in life."
So, Rajendra has "arrived in life", living high off the hog in his $1000 suits. And this is the man who lectures us about adopting more modest life-styles, adding to our bills though his incessant scare-mongering, polluting the skies as he travels hundreds of thousands of miles around the world, first class, to solicit yet more money for his institute in the name of saving the planet.
And this is the man to whom Douglas Alexander wants to give another £10 million of our money, to enable TERI "to undertake efforts by which poverty can be addressed". Well, it's certainly addressing Dr R K Pachauri's poverty.

Bangladesh will see great strides in its transport system with a number of megaprojects expected to come to fruition by the end of the year, opening up new avenues for boosting economic growth.
From the longest railway bridge to the very first metro lines and underwater tunnel, these billion dollar infrastructure projects will help the country in its bid to achieve developed country status. by 2041.
For all the latest news, follow the Daily Star's Google News channel.
But there have been many hurdles along the way, including a shortage of funds, complications with designs and the unprecedented crisis resulting from the coronavirus pandemic, leading to timeline revisions and increased costs.
Yet these highly anticipated ventures, involving multiple public and private actors, are expected to be open to the public this year.
Two other megaprojects, the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) and the very first elevated highway, are progressing well and are also expected to be commissioned by this year.
"These projects would work as precursors to the large-scale development of the country in the next phases," Professor Shamsul Hoque, a recognized transport expert, told the Daily Star on December 20.
He added, however, "The cost overruns and time lag eclipsed the exhilaration. It also revealed that our planning was weak and our time projection was infrequent."
BIG BRIDGE, BIG DREAM
Padma Bridge, a self-funded government project worth Tk 30,000 crore, is expected to open in June.
The 6.1 km two-level bridge across the mighty Padma had been in talks since the mid-1990s. The government approved the Tk 10,161 crore project in August 2007 to be built with assistance. donors.
The dream project became uncertain in September 2011, when major donor, the World Bank, suspended its pledged $ 1.2 billion loan over allegations of a bribery conspiracy, which were later dismissed in a Canadian court. Other donors have also canceled their funding.
Then in 2012, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina made the bold decision to implement the project with equity.
The first span was installed in September 2017. The project was progressing smoothly, but it was then that the Covid-19 assault slowed progress.
The bridge, with road and rail tracks, is expected to contribute about 1.2 percent to annual GDP growth and increase economic activities for residents of the impoverished southwest region.
THE ERA OF ELECTRIC TRAINS
Bangladesh would enter the era of electric trains once the subway rail project goes into service.
The government planned to develop a network of 1,280 km of metro lines in the capital and adjacent areas by 2030 to reduce horrific traffic jams and pollution. There would be six metro lines – with elevated and underground options.
Although the idea to build rapid transit (MRT) lines first came up in 2005, the first project to build a metro rail network in the capital was approved in December 2012.
Formerly known as MRT Line 6, the first metro track is being laid from the third phase of Uttara to Motijheel at a cost of Tk 21,985 crore.
Eight trainsets have already reached Dhaka and their performance tests are underway.
Officials from Dhaka Mass Transit Company Ltd, the executing agency, said they would complete all types of testing by September to start operation of the metro in the first phase – from Uttara to Agargaon – from December.
When complete, the metro – with 16 stations – will be able to transport 60,000 people per hour, reducing the travel time between Uttara and Motijheel to around 40 minutes from the existing two hours.
Even upper-class people may consider switching modes of transportation once the metro service is operational, which could reduce the number of small vehicles on the roads – the main reason for traffic jams, Professor Shamsul said.
UNDERWATER WONDER
To connect two parts of Chattogram, the government has taken over the project to build a tunnel under the Karnaphuli River, the very first in South Asia.
The 9.1 km tunnel at a cost of Tk 10,374.42 crore will help develop a modern transport system between Dhaka, Chattogram and Cox's Bazar, and will also be connected to the Asian highway.
Although the project was approved in November 2015, physical works began in December 2017.
The project manager recently requested a six-month extension to the current December 2022 deadline, but officials argue they would be able to open the tunnel within this year.
RELIEF FOR SUBURBAN citizens
In 2012, the government launched a project to reduce perineal traffic congestion in Dhaka by building an elevated highway as part of a public-private partnership.
After extending the deadline several times, authorities are now aiming to open part of the highway – from the airport to Tejgaon station – to the public in December.
When fully completed, the 19.73 km highway that runs from Shahjalal International Airport to Kutubkhali on the Dhaka-Chattogram Highway is expected to help people get through Dhaka without having to deal with traffic jams in the city. interior of the city.
In addition, the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) service from the airport to Gazipur is also expected to open in December.
The project was resumed in November 2012 for the construction of the 20.5 km bus corridor to allow people to reach Dhaka from Gazipur. It was due to be completed in December 2016, but was delayed due to various complexities.
The service would start with 100 new buses, which could carry 20,000 passengers per hour. There would be 25 stations on the corridor.
However, according to officials, meeting these deadlines certainly depends on many factors, in particular the Covid pandemic. If the Covid situation deteriorates again, it will be difficult for some projects to complete their work on time.

Q: History.js PushState in html 4 browser (IE) changes the url incorrectly Im usnig History.js to push a url but in IE it appends the page name.
if my original url is :
http://www.mydomain.com/Home.aspx
and then I execute the following:
var url = window.location.protocol + '//' + window.location.host + '/Home.aspx?id=2&pl=4';
History.pushState(null, null, url)
In Chrome my url becomes : http://www.mydomain.com/Home.aspx?id=2&pl=4
In IE 8 my url becomes: http://www.mydomain.com/Home.aspx#Home.aspx?id=2&pl=4
If I paste the IE 8 url in chrom my code fails...
Firstly, what should the correct html 4 url look like and secondly, how do I fix it?

A: I believe you are not pushing a state properly, try reformatting the url you push e.g. History.pushState({data: 'home'}, null, '/Home/').
Or maybe you thought that pushing a state also sends a request to server like you did there with a query? It does not buddy.
Therefore, dont expect anything to work by pasting the state u pushed into other browsers. First, because other browsers have no history about your site and secondly you need to catch the statechange event with History.
e.g.
History.Adapter.bind(window, 'statechange',
       function() {
         if (History.getState().data.page === 'home') {
           //do what u would like with current state
         }
     );


I did a double-take when I saw this wall art in my favorite shades of blue with a pop of green. I'm completely a blue person in every way and have been my whole life – just check out my Pinterest boards and you'll see more blue than you can shake a stick at. What made me do a triple-take with this wall art is when I read the tutorial and found out that these were shoebox lids. I never thought of reusing them and putting them on the wall, but it all makes sense now. I love and have a similar idea now brewing as we speak.
@caitlyn, nice tip! Dumpster diving for the win!


Honey was not the kind of film expected to make a big splash and the box office reflected those sentiments exactly. Shot for a modest 18 million it ended up taking about 70 and further established Jessica Alba as the kind of cute actress who just can't carry a movie. But, for the purposes of this feature, it did do something important and finally shuck off the baggage associated with modern hip-hop dance.
That's of some interest, the plot is something scripted together to get Alba out of her shirt and shaking around. It's the kind of rags to riches tale told so many times the only reason to watch the film is in the morbid hope it might have some thought, any thought, in it's head to justify its existence. But it doesn't, having finished rewatching the movie only minutes ago I can't recall a single line of dialogue.
What's weirder, especially since it's a movie about dancing, is that I can only barely recall any of the routines. There's nothing high impact or impressively athletic about the dancing. It's all kept pretty confined, and that's not to the benefit of a dance film. The problem with these scenes is showcased pretty clearly in the opening dance club where we see Alba from the top up serving drinks behind the bar and then follow her out onto the floor where we mostly see her from the same angle.
It's fair to say this movie has a surplus of attractive performers.
It's an attractive angle but it's not the best way to shoot a dancer. There are too many bodies, too many colors dancing around the screen and too many distractions to really pay attention to what she's doing. Even when the film starts mixing in more professional dancers later on it's all shot in the same enclosed style. It's almost as if the film is so afraid of missing a shot of Alba's midriff that it doesn't even bother admiring the dancers as they work. It's not too grand a theory to pursue, a quick gander at the poster with her face concealed in her hair establishes exactly what the selling point of this movie is supposed to be.
So it's a dreadful bore of a film centered around your general assortment of sleazy business types and anchored around some sweet chemistry with the poorly used Mekhi Pfeifer (who, after O, 8 Mile and Dawn of the Dead should really have a better career). The dance scenes aren't memorable, Alba slips in and out of an accent of indeterminate origin, and the soundtrack is filled with generic club shakers instead of anything really worth dancing to.
So why Honey instead of Save the Last Dance? The latter film, while unquestionably smarter about relationships, still tried to "safely" integrate the form by making hip-hop dance equatable with ballet. Plus, StLD was more about the romance and less about the dancing. Dance was the leads tool for attraction in that film, in Honey it's at least supposed to be the star.
Fun to watch, but not as exciting as it could be (and we'll see some great kid dancers soon).
Yes, there's still the subplot where uptight mother has to talk down to her daughter with lines like "I don't see why you can't teach ballet at a nice uptown studio". But there's no pandering to this idea outside of this poor, cliched mother and dialogue she's supposed to spew. In this film Alba's hip-hop dancing is at least her exact means to an end instead of having to cater to any other dance form for "legitimacy". I don't think that the film is entirely successful in showing how and why some of the best practitioners have to put in such demanding training.
Despite the somber attitude that permeates much of Honey (there are so many pensive stares from Alba you might think she was trying to channel Meryl Streep) this is important. Keep in mind this film was released nearly twenty years after Breakin' and Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo, two films that are fun and are at least creative enough to think of the catchiest sequel title in history. But those films were regarded as charming curios and spawned wave after wave of bad low budget successors.
Hip-hop, overall, gained a ton of legitimacy as a potent art form in music (Public Enemy was just around the corner, quickly followed by N.W.A. and De La Soul amongst many others) and has since established itself as a cultural force unequaled in America. Honey, as dull as a movie as it is, at least shows that people were finally willing to try and take the hip-hop dance more seriously and present it in some fashion without watering it down with "artier" forms. It's a shame the dances themselves don't take this opportunity to really showcase some great work, but as a film I have to commend it for trying.
Questionable accent aside, someone should have gotten wind that the film needed less silent shots of Alba staring very intently at something sad happening off-screen.
It also laid the groundwork for other directors to start trying their own stabs at incorporating modern hip-hop dance into their films. Next weeks film has a title as catchy as Electric Boogaloo, and spawned imitators that sought to improve upon, instead of belittle, the form.
I'm talking about You Got Served, showcasing the form in such a direct fashion it's like taking an acid bath after a particularly soft perfume scrub.

Lift chairs offer a wonderful option for the aged or people with disabilities to move out of a chair unassisted and, at the same time, enjoy its luxurious reclining comfort. Each of our chairs is designed to meet specific needs of our customers – whether medical, aesthetic or cost-effectiveness. We have two-position lift chairs, three-position lift chairs and infinite position lift chairs. Our chairs are sturdy, highly functional and an integrated battery back-up make them very reliable. Each type is designed to handle different user needs – from full recline, to feet prop-up option and easy stand-up posture. Improve the quality of your life with our collection of lift chairs which are comfortable, stylish, inexpensive and guaranteed to improve the décor of your living room!
Power lift chairs are powered by a lifting mechanism that moves the chair up from its base into a position which allows the user to end up in a standing posture. It makes for easy transfer of patients or bariatric people on and off the chair and is especially useful for those who have weak limbs and find it painful to sit down or stand up. Lift chairs are equipped with a powerful electric motor that powers the lift chair through simple button control. The user has to merely press a button on the remote control to push the chair back into any reclining position and another effortless button push brings the user into a standing position.
Two-position chairs have a recline limitation of 45 degrees and are suitable for the casual user who needs more luxury and comfort while watching TV or just relaxing. You can recline the chair anywhere between 0 and 45 degrees. Two-position power recliners are luxurious but also economical and do not take up too much space in a room. You can place it with a wall clearance of only 3-4 inches. As the back reclines, the footrest will flip up.
Three-position power chairs can go down to an almost flat or slight V angle between the back and the seat. They have heavy-duty lift mechanism combined with style and comfort. In this type too, the footrest will flip up as the back reclines.
Infinite position chairs are most versatile compared to the other two and can recline up to 180 degrees and further. You can sit back relaxed, lie flat or have the legs and hips positioned higher than the heart. You can move the chair around in any direction and flip the footrest up independent of the chair back. These power lift chairs are ideal for those who are confined to the house and spend a lot of time sitting down.
What To Consider When Buying A Lift Chair?
We have a huge line of power lift recliners with different position options, price range, weight capacities and special features. Which lift chair you should buy will depend upon your needs and budget.
If you need a chair that does not occupy much space but offers you luxury and comfort while watching TV only for a few hours then a two-position chair is for you.
If you want to bring home a chair which is like your traditional recliner but does much more, then the three-position power chairs will be ideal. You can relax or nap and move back from the deep recline into a standing position without much effort. It is a good buy for those needing a chair for complete back comfort including napping positions.
If you expect to spend a lot of time in the chair, have restricted mobility, have hypotension which needs lying down with leg elevated to improve circulation and bring down swelling in the legs or feet and are looking for therapeutic seating option, then go for the infinite position chair.
Budget: Budget is also a key decider but we offer lift chairs for varying budget needs. You can buy a basic two-position model priced moderately or opt for an infinite-position dual motor zero gravity chair with heat/massage options, head pillow and overlay.
Size/Height: Size and height play important roles when selecting a lift chair. Generally, weight capacity of lift chairs go beyond 300 lbs and we have chairs designed to support right up to 700 lbs. Size of the chair starts from petite and goes up to wide so you can select the type as per your height keeping in mind the wall clearance required when the chair is moved into a full recline position or when you are brought into a standing position.
Golden Tech Capri Medium Two Position Lift Chair is an economical two-position chair which combines dependability with comfort and style.
The Maxi Comfort Zero Gravity Relaxer Lift Chair, also from Golden Technologies, is a more luxurious option in which the seat moves up and down to pivot your hips into a physically beneficial zero-gravity position. It has independent foot and back control.
36 Series Three Position Bariatric Lift Chair from Med-Lift & Mobility is heavy duty with weight capacity of around 600 lbs. It has extra heavy-duty 3-way recline mechanism with two motors.
We have products from makers of best power lift recliners. So, we carry Golden Technologies lift chairs, Pride Mobility lift chairs and Med-Lift and Mobility lift chairs. We offer highest-quality products from these manufacturers with additional choices in fabric and color.

use of new strategies and techniques.
Making good notes is essential to academic success. Unfortunately, in too many classrooms making notes involves little more than copying what the teacher writes or says. We call this note taking. Notemaking is something else entirely. It is an active process that requires students to identify important details, analyze big ideas, raise questions, note personal reactions and feelings, and make connections to their prior knowledge and experiences. Notemaking is powerful because it helps students achieve so many different learning goals. In this portfolio we will explore the five most common purposes for Notemaking: studying, planning, summarizing, writing, and reading comprehension.
Thoughtful Classroom Portfolios can be purchased with or without training, and volume discounts for school-wide and district-wide implementation are available. Call 800-962-4432 for details.

Streetcar History
Board / Staff
Reports / Studies
During the early and mid-1900′s the historic streetcar served as a popular mode of transportation along Broadway and throughout the Los Angeles region. The streetcar system was primarily operated by Pacific Electric (1901-1961) and developed into the largest trolley system in the world by the 1920′s. This breadth of scale enabled residents and visitors alike to routinely traverse the Los Angeles region, from Santa Monica to San Bernardino. Many modern communities were built around the streetcar network and retain its influence in their gridded street network and relatively dense form. The system operated for over half a century, and at its peak included over 1,100 miles of track with 900 electric trolley cars; this network produced a rate of public transit usage higher than that of modern San Francisco, on a per-capita basis.
For years the system was considered by many to be "the vital cog in the city's transportation system," and according to author Steven Ealson, provided transportation for millions who enjoyed the streetcar so much they would "ride for miles simply for fun or for transportation to places of amusement." The demise of the streetcar began with the unprecedented development of single-family tract housing designed and built to accommodate automobiles. This pattern of development quickened during post-war housing construction, and accelerated the downfall of the streetcar system as the region shifted its focus toward private transportation.
The convenience and accessibility of automobiles, along with increased congestion caused by the proliferation of vehicles, eroded the advantages of the historic streetcar system and led to precipitous declines in ridership and a population shift away from the urban core. Widespread adoption of diesel buses ultimately led to the abandonment of all streetcar systems on March 31, 1963. This ended nearly 90 years of streetcar service in the Los Angeles region.
Rising fuel prices, heavily congested freeways and roadways, and significant environmental impacts have diminished the region's love affair with the automobile and have brought transit, walkability, and bike-ability back to the forefront. Considered intermittently for a decade, reviving a downtown streetcar is an idea that has been studied by CRA, Metro and the former CCA Red Car Advisory Committee. These efforts all found common ground within Councilmember José Huizar's Bringing Back Broadway initiative, which is where downtown property owners, businesses, and stakeholders furthered the idea and pushed for the formation of Los Angeles Streetcar, Inc. (LASI).
In the early years of downtown's push for a local streetcar, the general concept was to create a tourist attraction focusing on historically significant resources while also providing transportation services similar to the Market Street Railway in San Francisco. After considerable research, interviews, tours, and outreach, the focus of the streetcar broadened its scope to promote revitalization and reactivation of historic resources (such as Broadway's historic theaters and buildings), employment, housing, entertainment, tourism, and general economic development. This larger focus embraces a future-oriented development strategy to link and enhance crucial nodes within downtown that reinforce the area's diverse mixture of commercial, residential, and historic districts. Today, LASI and our partners with the City of Los Angeles are committed to providing a service that maximizes mobility benefits as well as economic revitalization.
Our efforts are a part of a broader rail renaissance occurring in Los Angeles, beginning with the opening of the Metro Blue Line in 1990, followed by the Metro Red Line in 1993, the Metro Green Line in 1995, the resurrection of the Pacific Electric Red Car Trolley at the Port of Los Angeles in 2003, the Metro Gold Line and Gold Line Extension in 2004 and 2009, respectively, the recent opening of the Expo Line to Santa Monica, and the Westside Subway Extension ("Subway to the Sea") currently under construction.
Los Angeles is not alone in its efforts to revive streetcar service, improve transit connectivity, and revitalize its urban center. In the last decade, cities across the United States have turned to streetcars as a way to promote transit use and bring new life to aging, underinvested neighborhoods. Portland, Seattle, and Tucson have all been recent examples of success that LASI plans to emulate here at home, in a uniquely Los Angeles way.

Non-League: The Forgotten Football Family
andradesport 13th May 2020 13th May 2020 Uncategorised
With debate increasing by the day on whether the English Premier League and English Football League should return or not, people are forgetting what has happened to Non-League campaigns up and down the country, lower down the footballing pyramid.
For those who don't know, they have been disregarded, thrown away, cancelled and VOIDED.
Whether this is the right or wrong decision has been debated in almost every town in England, albeit over social media. Why was it an easy decision for the FA to void every league under the National League, yet they are hanging on to the professional seasons?
Easy answer: Money.
Is this right? Of course not.
Take Jersey Bulls FC or Vauxhall Motors FC as the obvious examples. They have both secured promotion and were games away from securing title wins. The Channel Islanders had won ALL 27 game of their debut season, a new Combined Counties Record, well it was until the FA decided that all of the games were all in vain.
So many others have missed out too; Leicester Road were seemingly cruising to promotion, being 25 points inside the Midland 1 promotion places before the call. Stockton Town gained a wealthy position too, being 23 points inside the promotion places in the Northern 1 league. Others who seemed destined to be promoted included Risborough Rangers, Littlehampton Town, Lower Breck and Bugbrooke St Michaels, who were all at least 20 points clear at the top of their respective leagues. Many other sides were above 10 points clear, which, at this stage of the season would more than likely lead to promotion.
I spoke with well-respected Non-League reporter Ollie Bayliss about the subject and he told me 'The null & void decision is very hard on clubs like Jersey Bulls and Vauxhall Motors who'd already secured promotion. If those clubs had managed that achievement within the football league I don't think there's any way their season would have been made null & void.'
Ollie went on to say 'It does no one any favours keeping clubs like that down for another season – their colleagues in their league don't want to have to play them again next season.'
All the clubs I have mentioned will feel disappointed, downbeat, and effectively robbed by the FA. Whilst they will understand that there are bigger issues in the world right now, I am sure that they would have wanted all of their hard work and effort, both from the players and club members, to be rewarded rather than dismissed without a second thought.
Football wise, as Ollie mentioned, why would Combined Counties League Division One sides want to play Jersey Bulls again next season? It would more than likely be the same outcome, meaning one less promotion place. Who would want that? Same goes for Vauxhall Motors, who would more than likely repeat their success this season, possibly being even more relentless because they are determined to get the promotion they deserve. If you were the FA or any club, you would allow promotion, especially to these two sides.
Financially it is a mammoth smack in the face for ALL non-league clubs. Since the announcement, 10 clubs have already withdrawn from their respective leagues in steps 3-7. This is just the start of what is set to be a catastrophic aftermath of a damaging decision by the FA.
Ollie Bayliss said 'During this period we will sadly see some clubs fold. The financial impact of this crisis will take its toll on many others who will struggle financially. It will take a while before we see full competitive leagues again.'
In the main, clubs in Non-League receive most their income through gate money. With the season ending, that is gone, and clubs will have to look for other ways to raise money to keep the club running and this will undoubtedly be a struggle.
That tells you just how bad this could get financially for clubs up and down the country. Some simply will fold. People will lose their local football clubs. We won't see Non-League like we know and love for a long time to come.
Ollie told me 'Clubs will lose out on thousands of pounds from this crisis. Some clubs have asked for relegation in order to balance their budgets for next season – it remains to be seen whether the FA will grant this request.'
It is a sad situation. Beyond football, Non-League is a family. From the players who form brotherly bonds, to the terraces for your weekly catch up with someone you wouldn't usually chat to. It brings so many people together. It is all about community, rather than money. Going to Non-League games, for many, feels so much more special and personal compared to being one in 20,000 + people in a Football League and Premier League stadium.
Ollie added 'I think we'll see a shorten adaptation for next season, perhaps a more regionalised 'mini league' with playoffs. Hopefully in time, football will return to the game we know and love, but that might take several years.'
All in all, whilst it was the right decision to end the season, the way it was ended was wrong. In my opinion, it should have been through a Points Per Game system, which is the fairest way to end any league given the certain circumstances. Nonetheless, no matter what decision was to be made, Non-League won't be the same for a very, very long time, and we will lose some clubs along the way. It is a sad situation, one which the FA didn't think about when they made the rash decision that they did.

Great blog Daniel and as Risborough Rangers Press Officer thanks for mentioning us in your write up. I believe Our Invincible teams are pencilled in to play each other in pre-season friendly at Springfield Stadium on July 25th (if the all clear by then with Pandemic) we were unbeaten in 23 leagues games ourselves and like you absolutely gutted when the season was deemed null n void.. I use to live in Jersey for 2yrs from 1989/91 so quite familiar with the island (had a room in Maufant).. worked at De Gruchy in King Street… Happy Days!

For decades, the award-winning director has examined characters in the shadow of the murderous Khmer Rouge – at sometimes uncomfortably close range. The perpetrators: S21: the Khmer Rouge Killing Machine and Duch, Master of the Forges of Hell; the defiant victims: Vann Nath and Bophana, or other survivors living in the aftermath of war: One Evening After the War.
Throughout his career, says Rithy Panh, he has been obsessed with finding an image that lays bare the crimes of the Khmer Rouge, either in the material proof of photographs (which he knows to exist) or as an essential quest in his filmmaking.
"The 'missing picture' is the thing that you are looking for, film after film. Each film you are looking for a missing picture, and after you make one, you find another," he told the Post in May.
His new film, which took home the Un Certain Regard award at the 2013 Cannes Film Festival and is now showing at the Bophana Center, turns the camera lens on the artist himself.
His story, narrated in French (by Randal Duoc) and told through the unusual medium of clay figurines and archival footage, is based on his 2013 book The Elimination and follows his four years as a teenager in the forced labour programs of the Khmer Rouge – to which he lost his parents, siblings and their children.
The film doesn't follow a strict chronology, but is a combination of memoir and historical record – and a more fundamental meditation on the genocide that Panh lived through.
Though the story dips back and forth into Panh's pre-Khmer Rouge boyhood, to bring to life the intense inner world that in some ways sustained him during his years in hell, the narrative avoids incoherence.
At first as the camera pans the miniature set where the figurines stand fixed in frozen scenes, you might wonder if the static figures will be able to convey a whole 90-minute film. Soon the narration (with English subtitles) and black and white footage of a black-and-white Phnom Penh, April 17, interrupts and in their painted expressions and stiff arms, the little hand-carved people become imbued with meaning.
As Panh's family are evacuated to the countryside and don the dyed black garb of the Khmer Rouge, the set switches from grim labour camp scenes to the Khmer Rouge's revolutionary fantasies of industrial rice fields surrounded by bicycle roadways and cement towers, to bizarre visions of self-feeding machines for the elderly – propaganda endlessly forced upon the workers.
"Our daily life is combat, against nature, against words," the narrator says. The revolutionary chants and endless slogans still haunt him.
Soon starvation – the "beginning of dehumanisation" – and ceaseless labour sees the figurines grow gaunt and dull. Panh's father, who was previously shown in a white suit, refuses to eat the food 'not fit for humans', and not long after dies.
Rather than witness his callous burial, Panh's mother tells him in careful detail about the funeral he should have had.
In between harrowing scenes (depicted by what have now become a captivating cast of characters), the story moves back to normal pre-regime life. A particularly lovely image is of real colour footage of classical dancer Princess Bopha Devi, imposed on one of the film's model sets.
Combined with the long-lived grief and anger of the older narrator, the young Panh never lets go of powerful memories like this – or his disbelief at what is happening to him and why.
Whether or not the question of the "missing picture" is meant to be resolved in the film, Panh's unusual and moving documentary successfully draws us into his compelling question.
The Missing Picture is showing every day at the Bophana Center at 6:30pm until August 10.


Andrea Fraser's Untitled series stems from a project she completed in 1984, which consisted of a collection of slides superimposing images of Old Masters' works with those of well known 20th century artists. Having reconstructed these images as photographs, pieces such as Untitled (de Kooning/Raphael) #1 examine the polemics of feminism, historical revisionism, and artistic authenticity. Here, traces of De Kooning's violently rendered figure scars the beatific Madonna and Child, merging the two disparate examples of the subjectification of women in art history as a Frankenstein-ish amalgamation. Printed in poster size, Fraser highlights issues of sexual commodification and image consumption.
In Andrea Fraser's Untitled (de Kooning/Raphael) #2, The Seated Madonna and De Kooning's expressionistic figure synthesise to become almost indistinguishable; the brutal modern abstraction making the cherubic icon appear charred and battle worn. Presented as a second generation photographic image, Fraser's Untitled loses the painterly detail of the original masterpieces, transforming the aura of artistic integrity to the mechanised and fetishistic language of media. Through her act of appropriation, Fraser explores the exclusive nature artistic lineage, writing herself into the legacy whilst simultaneously critiquing its historical bias.
Short History of Performance Art, Part II"


Blake Hughes is a paramedic with the LAFD and quite happily living in the closet. Hunter Rassmussen transferred to LA from San Diego, wants to leave his past behind, and is not willing to be 'out' in his new workplace.
After they both wind up being assigned to the same shift, Blake and Hunter become friends - not only winding up being partners going out on calls, but spending their off time together too, enjoying each other's company. Something changes and non-job related sparks fly.
When doing a job on which men rely on the other men (and women) they work with, when two stay outside to serve as rescue when two go into a burning building, is it possible for these two men to build a relationship that might go against unofficial department policy? Could two LAPD officers be the ones to show these two firefighters the way through their own example? Or will someone from Hunter's past be able to destroy them?
Blake and Hunter were great characters within the storyline - and so were their co-workers, even the 'baddie'. Two In Two Out is a wonderful read about the ins and, well, outs about making your way within a working environment that may not be friendly - especially when trust issues are involved. It is the story of how the work environment may also be friendlier than it first appears and all because of the people involved and how they differed from a previous place. It is about friendship, love, and trust and how everything weaves together harmoniously - or is discordant due to a bad apple that may appear.
