Working as a subcontractor with Graham Construction we were tasked with delivering mechanical and electrical engineering services to a framework agreement with the University of Stirling as part of a multi-million pound redevelopment of residential accommodation on its campus.
Phase 1 consisted of the delivery of 11 town houses, flats and a 128 bedroom building.
For the project we installed the following electrical systems; mains/sub-mains, lighting, emergency lighting, small power, disabled refuge, intruder alarm, fire alarm, access control, CCTV, intercom, TV system, public address and induction loop.
The following mechanical systems were installed; Ventilation, Sprinkler, Plumbing, Heating & cooling, BEMS, Soils & wastes and Air conditioning. Stothers also undertook the installation of bathrooms. Each bathroom was delivered as a pod, wired, piped and fitted out which were then integrated into the current mechanical and electrical systems.
Every project has its unique complexities and working on the Stirling campus was no different. The projects were carried out within a live university campus that required the protection of existing services. Naturally this included technical difficulties such as restricting the noise from the site and managing pedestrian traffic. We carried out diversions to the existing site infrastructure including HV alterations to allow for the demolition of existing accommodation blocks and provide services for the replacement accommodation.

Ben Mendelsohn and Essie Davis to topline 'Babyteeth', Shannon Murphy's feature debut
by Staff Writer May 2, 2018 May 4, 2018
Ben Mendelsohn and Essie Davis.
Rita Kalnejais has adapted her successful Belvoir Street Theatre play Babyteeth for screen, with Ben Mendelsohn and Essie Davis attached to lead the cast of the comedy which follows a couple who discover their ill teenage daughter has fallen in love with a drug dealer.
Babyteeth will mark Shannon Murphy's feature directorial debut after having shot television drama such as Offspring, Love Child and Sisters – her work on the latter has her up for an Australian Directors' Guild Award on Friday evening. It will be produced by Alex White and EP'd by Jan Chapman, and will be the first feature for White's Whitefalk Films following the festival success of short films Trespass and Florence Has Left the Building.
Said to be about "letting go and finding grace in the glorious chaos of life", Babyteeth follows Henry (Mendelsohn) and Anna (Davis) who realise their seriously ill teenage daughter Milla has fallen madly in love with a drug dealer, Moses. This romance is Milla's protective parents' worst nightmare – but Milla doesn't want to play it safe anymore. Things get messy and morals go out the window, as the lives of those around the family – their disarmingly honest pregnant neighbour, a brilliantly flawed music teacher, a child violin prodigy and Moses' family – become intertwined.
"I first saw Rita Kalnejais' humorous and profoundly moving play Babyteeth at Sydney's Belvoir Street Theatre in 2012 with executive producer Jan Chapman," said White.
"Rita's exquisitely delicate examination of the life of a teenage girl and the people who constellate her was a life-affirming experience. It felt like the perfect work to be translated to screen."
Chapman said: "I'm delighted to be working with such a strong and gifted female team in producer, Alex White and director Shannon Murphy interpreting Rita Kalnejais' vivid, insightful and funny screenplay about how precious life is."
Babyteeth is slated to shoot towards the end of this year. Screen Australia has provided major production investment in association with Create NSW, and the film was financed with the support of support of WeirAnderson.com, Whitefalk Films, Jan Chapman Films and Spectrum Films.
Australian distribution will be handled by eOne and international sales by Celluloid Dreams.

Sci-in Tech shutters offer precision exposures with computer control for the lab or observatories. Engineered for longevity, low temperature and consistancy.
The PS-250 is typically used for single large area CCD's while the PS-500 and larger shutters are matched with mosaic CCD assemblies.
Square, not round, is the perfect match for CCD's since their shape is square or rectangular. This eliminates corner vignetting, a requirment for most scientific imaging.
The core of this design is minimal weight for given aperture size and small footprint area to minimize possible mechanical interference.
RS-232 with contact-closure and opto-isolator offers options to choose.
External power supply allows remote location of a heat source. Motor power is consumed only when blades are in motion.
An internal clock allows poling to 0.1ms.
Sci-in Tech has used carbon-fiber shutter blades since 1996 to protect expensive CCD arrays from possible objects contacting a vacuum window.
Reduces scattered light and allows a mask, filter or window to to be set in below the shutter surface in special situations.
At 2.5 to 3 million cycles, a rebuild replacing all moving parts can be done.
Rejuvinating to new condition allows many years of operation, reduces waste and is cost effictive.
Vacuum compatable components can be used for vacuum service as a special order.

In 2009, SAP decided to implement Lean and Agile Software Engineering practices within its global development organization. Lean management and agile practices like Scrum helped us to become more efficient and predictable in delivering software. However, that did not solve the "Innovator's Dilemma" which almost any big company faces after many years of success. Hence, we had to explore new ways and approaches to come up with innovative product ideas and business models for the ever faster changing and evolving enterprise software market.
In this talk, Dr. Tobias Hildenbrand and Sumeet Shetty will give an overview of this innovation journey and provide insights on applying Agile, Design Thinking and Business Model Innovation practices in a large-scale and distributed development organization. The session also includes an example of a recent project (SAP SportsOne).

2022 Kia Telluride vs 2022 Nissan Pathfinder Comparison
2022 Kia Telluride vs 2022 Nissan Pathfinder
The 2022 Kia Telluride is a new-age mid-size SUV that already looks like it's at the head of the class. This is in stark contrast to the 2022 Nissan Pathfinder, a model that has roots as far back as 1987. While the current generation of Nissan Pathfinder looks very different from its decade old ancestor, it still has a long history and fanbase in the country. Our 2022 Kia Telluride vs 2022 Nissan Pathfinder pits the new kid on the block versus a very old brand. Which one is the better vehicle at least in this modern era? This is the question we plan to research on Drive Taylor today. Our 2022 Kia Telluride vs 2022 Nissan Pathfinder comparison is an interesting one.
Technology – Kia Dealership serving Hermitage
Nothing is more important to modern families than to stay connected through their daily travels. Touchscreen infotainment systems changed the focal point of a modern SUV and remain the hottest item on any interior. It's curious, then, that the 2022 Nissan Pathfinder chooses to stick with an 8 or 9-inch touchscreen system. In an era where touchscreen displays handle everything from apps, to directions, to safety cameras, you need a larger display to really get full, fulfilling access to your connectivity. The 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system of the 2022 Telluride is easily one of its best technology features. Not only is it larger than the Pathfinder's touchscreen, but it offers more ease of use. Even those who've never enjoyed a touchscreen before can easily dig into its many virtues, such as Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, and Dynamic Voice Recognition. There's a fantastic number of steering-wheel mounted technology, too, that gives you one-touch access to some of your most important technology features.
Interior – 2022 Kia Telluride
The larger 3-row Telluride comes with 87 cubic feet of cargo capacity and outdoes the Pathfinder in this area. At only 80.5 cubic feet of cargo capacity, the Pathfinder delivers less space for all you active outdoorspeople out there. When you really look at the two interiors side-by-side, you see a world of difference. The Telluride is generously and expertly spaced with up to 8 passenger seating. Premium Nappa leather seat trim comes in Kia-created colors that do more than just look nice. They imbibe a a sense warmth and humanity. Calming and relaxing colors make the 2022 Telluride feel like stepping into a soothing spa. Heated and ventilated seating and 2nd row captain's chairs are also available.
Powertrain – 2022 Kia Telluride in Hermitage
Mid-size models need more enthusiastic power than compact SUVs, so both of these step up to the plate and hit a sweet spot in terms of power. The 2022 Pathfinder's 284 horsepower 3.5L V6 engine is top of the line for the model and really does a nice job of powering it home. For additional power and control, you'll need a Telluride. Its 3.8L V6 engine is energetic and highly smooth. At 291 horsepower, you get a few more horses with a 2022 Telluride than a Pathfinder. The Telluride has been named the best 3-row SUV for a couple of years in the row now, and performance is an extremely big part of that success. It outpowers substantial performers like the Pathfinder while still maintaining a smooth drive. Towing capacity is more evenly dispersed throughout the Telluride's trim levels, with 5,000 pounds maximum across every trim. You can get a bit more on the Pathfinder (6,000), but it also delivers substantially less on early trims (3,500 pounds). If you are happy with a 5,000 pound towing capacity and need more than 3,500 pounds, the Telluride is more even and gives you that max power up front.
Winner: 2022 Kia Telluride
The 2022 Telluride is a youngster, but it bests the 2022 Pathfinder in so many ways this year. Pulling up in a Telluride means showing off 20-inch alloy wheels, satin chrome accents, and amber LED daytime running lights.

· Cash and liquid assets position of US$5.8 million (unaudited).
"There are a number of key objectives that we are focusing on, which include balance sheet restructuring and improving operational efficiencies in Trinidad. We continue discussions with LandOcean and are working to reach a solution for the benefit of all parties during this year. In the meantime, we continue with prudent cash management and preservation of our liquidity.
At times when Trinidad is undergoing a rapid transition of its oil sector, we also recognise the need to undertake restructuring of our own operations in the country. The process has already commenced and we are hoping to achieve a reduction in costs and improve the competitiveness of our business. By delivering on our set objectives together with continuing with our work programme, we remain optimistic that we can achieve longer term value for our fellow shareholders."
Total net production for the quarter was 52,589 barrels of oil (net 572 bopd), which is a 4% decrease from the previous quarter.
Production during the quarter was adversely affected by extreme weather conditions in Trinidad with record rainfall and extensive flooding. This resulted in prolonged periods of electrical power outages, and flooding at the Company's fields. As a result of limited access to its fields, the Company had to reduce its workover programme.
Separately, one of the sales tanks at the Beach Marcelle field had to be taken out of service due to a reported leak, with the Company being forced to shut in some of the producing wells. As previously announced, Range is undertaking a programme of infrastructure modernisation at the field to provide a greater resilience in the production infrastructure and enable future production growth. The programme is ongoing and is expected to be completed during Q3 2019.
Despite this, the Company is pleased to report that it was able to minimise the adverse impact on production levels with only minimal loss recorded for the quarter.
During the quarter, Range engaged independent consultants LEAP Energy Partners Sdn. Bhd ("LEAP") to undertake a new exploration study of the St Mary's block. The objective of this study is to assess a detailed work scope for the block and establish its potential.
The results from LEAP's work will be available later in Q1 2019 and will be used to determine the upcoming work plan.
The Company acquired a new geological tool (Geode EM 3D) to undertake studies on its fields, expected to lead to a future shallow drilling campaign. The geotool is an enhanced version of the stratagem tool which was successfully used by Range in the past.
The geotool studies are expected to commence in Q1 / Q2 2019, and will initially be focused on the Morne Diablo field. The Company believes the studies will significantly enhance subsurface understanding, and assist in identifying shallow reservoirs and economic well locations as part of the future drilling programme.
The Company is undertaking a new accelerated work programme at the South Quarry field. The programme commenced subsequent to the quarter end, and mainly comprises rehabilitation activities (workover, swabbing, and clean out) on up to 20 existing wells. The Company is aiming to increase production from current 40 bopd to over 100 bopd.
During the quarter, production from the South East area of Beach Marcelle field (the "SE Project") continued at an increased average rate of 160 bopd. The average injection rate was approximately 600 bwpd of the 1,500 bwpd currently available. The injection rates were impacted by occasional pump outages at the water source well, and unstable water supply from the state-owned oil and gas company of Trinidad and Tobago, Heritage Petroleum Company Limited ("Heritage"). The Company is looking at additional water sources from nearby operators to increase the injection rates.
The Company has also been undertaking a programme of low-cost data collection on some of the identified wells on the SE project with a view to incorporating additional wells into the scheme. As part of the programme, the Company has been adjusting injection of the individual wells and monitoring pressure at the reservoir level, aimed at optimising production. The overall water cut (i.e. the ratio of water produced compared to the volume of total liquids produced) has remained relatively constant at about 35%.
During the quarter, the Company completed 10 workovers, reactivation and swabbing activities on the existing wells against 50 originally planned. As mentioned earlier in this report, the number of completed workovers was significantly lower due to severe weather conditions in Trinidad. Up to 20 workovers are planned for the current quarter.
During the quarter, the Company has initiated a corporate restructuring of RRDSL. The Company believes that this exercise will enable RRDSL to reduce the costs of its services, improve competitiveness and assist with winning new contracts.
Whilst Range's operations have not been materially impacted during the transition period, there were some inefficiencies with the oil sales process at the Company's Beach Marcelle field. This resulted in storage tanks reaching full capacity and the Company having to shut in some of its producing wells to prevent overflow.
In addition, during the quarter the Company experienced small delays in the timings of payments for its oil sales. Subsequent to the quarter end, all revenues were received in full by the Company.
During the quarter, the operator of the project continued with the reopening of wells, and geological, geophysical and integrity studies. The operator completed the reopening of three wells as part of the work programme to date. Range was advised that difficulties were encountered during reopening operations mainly due to complexity of the wellheads and poor casing of the old wells. Re-opening operations on the fourth well commenced in January 2019.
The Company and the operator are continuing with efforts to establish stable production from the field, and are evaluating an appropriate future development strategy for this asset.
During the quarter, Mr Yan Liu and Dr Yi Zeng tendered their resignations as Chief Executive Officer & Executive Director and Non-Executive Director, respectively.
Subsequent to the quarter end, the Company appointed Dr Mu (Robin) Luo as a Non-Executive Director, effective 11 January 2019. Dr Luo is a senior oil and gas professional with 36 years' experience working for leading international E&P and oilfield services companies. He has worked on various conventional and unconventional projects across all levels from research to operations. He is currently a principal development geophysicist to Inpex Corporation, leading a multi-billion Ichthys LNG project in Australia. Prior to that, he held principal roles with Sinopec Oil and Gas, PGS, Japan Petroleum Exploration Company Limited, and Japan Oil, Gas and Metals National Corporation.
During the quarter, the Company signed an agreement with LandOcean Energy Services Co., Ltd. ("LandOcean") to pay the annual interest payment of US$1.6 million due under the convertible note by way of issuance new ordinary shares in the Company to LandOcean. The interest payment is due for the 12-month period to the end of November 2018 as per terms of the existing US$20 million convertible note entered into on 30 October 2016 and a maturity date of 28 November 2019. The agreement to pay the interest in shares will allow the Company to preserve its existing cash position. The issue of these shares is subject to shareholder approval at a General Meeting of the Company. Further details will be provided in the Notice of Meeting of the Company and an Independent Expert's Report which will accompany the Notice of Meeting, expected to be published in early February.
As at 31 December 2018, the total net outstanding payable position with LandOcean is approximately US$69.4 million (excludes the convertible note).
During the quarter, the Company published an update with regards to the refundable payment of US$2.8 million due to Range ("Refundable Payment") from LandOcean. Following a repayment request, LandOcean advised that it was unable to return the Refundable Payment immediately due to foreign exchange controls and the need for routine examination and approval of the payment from the State Administration of Foreign Exchange of China ("SAFE"). LandOcean confirmed that the Refundable Payment remains refundable to Range, and they will use all reasonable endeavours to arrange the payment to Range as soon as possible. A backstop date for the Refundable Payment of 30 June 2019 was agreed between Range and LandOcean.
1. The Production Sharing Contracts relating to Guayaguayare expired in 2015. Any renewal will be subject (inter alia) to government and other regulatory approvals.
2. Range's indirect interest in the Perlak field is held through its 60% shareholding in Hengtai, which holds a 78% interest in Lukar which in turn holds a 49% interest in Aceh Timur Kawai Energi.

Although chiropractors care for more than just low back pain, many patients visit chiropractors looking for relief from this pervasive condition. In fact, over 31 million Americans experience low back pain at any given time.
About one-half of all working Americans admit to having some form of back pain each year.
Most cases of back pain are mechanical in nature or non-organic—meaning they are not caused by serious conditions, such as arthritis, infection, fracture or cancer.
Americans spend at least $50 billion each year on back pain.
It is estimated that as many as 80% of the population will experience a back problem at some time in our lives.
The back is a complicated structure of bones, joints, ligaments and muscles. You can sprain ligaments, strain muscles, rupture disks, and irritate joints, all of which can lead to back pain. Sports injuries or other accidents can cause back pain but , sometimes even the simplest of movements—for example, picking up something off the floor— can have painful results. In addition, poor posture, arthritis, weight gain, and stress can cause or contribute to back pain. Back pain can also directly result from disease of the internal organs, such as kidney or gallbladder stones, kidney infections, blood clots, or other serious conditions .
Chiropractic adjustments are a safe and effective back pain treatment. It reduces pain and swelling and increases joint mobility. This allows the body to heal itself naturally, by gently restoring the normal motion of the joints and reducing the pressure and irritation on the spinal nerves.
Dr. Steven Pierce specializes in the treatment of patients with low back pain. He has successfully treated patients with low back pain for over 23 years. If you would like further information about low back pain or to schedule a consultation, please contact the office. We are looking forward to helping you in the future.


Psychiatry has been in the media 640 times in the last 2 weeks in Denmark!
This post from last week caught my eye.
I glossed over it at first, but that is 45 times PER DAY for 2 weeks. What was going on? The facebook entry below tells the story succinctly.
I am already familiar with the reputation of the Cochrane Collaboration studies, and their reputation for independence and professional analysis of the data. So the fact that the Centre Director has come out and spoken is newsworthy indeed.
I googled him and found the following speech he gave – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i1LQiow_ZIQ It is 54 minutes long, and worth a look if you are not familiar with the issues of how drug companies influence medical practice, public policy, and our health. Ultimately he indicates that psychiatry is bad for our health.
I have been aware of most of the information in this talk, and written about much of it on this website. It is powerful to hear him state the facts, given his high standing.
And he did make me think further about antidepressants. I have written that they are equal to placebos. When reviewing the book, "The Emperor's New Drugs," (also posted on this site) I thought, "Well, placebos do work, so perhaps general practitioners are justified in prescribing placebos/antidepressants." Gotzsche points out that placebos in antidepressant trials actually hardly work at all. If you compare a group taking antidepressants, and a placebo group, and a group who gets nothing, most of the last group get well too.
People do not need placebos or antidepressants; most of those in trials have temporary ailments which will pass, unless diagnosed and treated with drugs – these cause side-effects, worsening of symptoms, difficulty when people try stopping their medication (which is confused with the 'illness' returning, so they are convinced to continue or increase the dose, or even add another medication.) Many are convinced they will need to be on the medication the rest of their lives.
The pharmaceutical industry has lowered its threshold for treating all sorts of ailments, so more and more life situations are defined as a dysfunction or illness. In DSM3 it was the case that people still grieving the loss of a spouse after 12 months were labelled depressed. In DSM4 it was 2 months, and in DSM5 it can be after 2 weeks!
Gotzsche has written all this in his latest book, "Deadly Medicines and Organised Crime: How Big Pharma Has Corrupted Healthcare." Only 2 chapters are devoted to psychiatry, because the same tactics are present in all areas of medicine. I will add his book to my reading list.
I have found little encouragement in the mental health services to raise topics such as those mentioned in his speech. I understand psychiatrists get upset and angry. That is not my desire. Professionally, we should all be aware of this material as it affects the health of our clients, our families and ourselves. It is sad if the current practices continue, as much harm is being perpetuated. If you are not sure, watch his speech.
It remains to be seen what 640 media articles in 2 weeks in Denmark will change. I hope momentum builds as information spreads. Much of this information has been known for more than 10 years. Will more doctors add their voice for change?


For this challenge we have to combine the books and movies/tv shows that we love in some way, in order for other people to find new recommendations for things to check out.
This is an easy pair, because of the the relaxing and cozy atmosphere both in the book and the TV show. Also, I discovered both a bit late but it was love and the first sight, they are big favorites of mine.
I kinda cheated for this one, because they are the same thing basically, but I realized that many people don't know that these spin-off books exist! This one is about Ruby/Red and if you're a fan of the show, you'll definitely appreciate it.
Speaking of good magic… I discovered this TV series last month on Netflix and I binge-watched the first two seasons. It's one of those shows you can easily watch at the end of a tiring day to relax, there is no suspance nor mysteries, it's a quiet one, but I definitely recommend it.
Who doesn't like an exotic scenery and a complicated but engaging adventure? These two have a special place in my heart, I used to be obsessed with both when I was younger and I'm currently rewatching Lost, so I think I should reread the book soon!
Secrets, murders, lies. The main characters of these two stories are very different, but I think that they are a good match if you like mysteries and thrillers.
This is the first book of a YA fantasy series I loved when I was in high school and I think it's a good fit for The Shannara Chronicles, the first season was released last year and it was so good! They are currently filming the second one and I can't wait!
Hope you enjoyed my mix and match, feel free to leave a comment below to let me know what you think about it and if you have any recommendation for me!


The kitchen is the most important place in the home, it is supposed to be convenient, attractive and beautiful because most people when they come to your house they like to see the kitchen first. It is necessary that you think about the design of your kitchen and try to make it as beautiful as possible. The kitchen should not only be attractive, it should also be functional so that you can do anything that you want in the kitchen. Designer Kitchens are one of the best ways to ensure that your kitchen is top class and well decorated but for this you need some kitchen decoration ideas, these kitchens are expensive but are worth the money. If you are thinking about changing the look of your kitchen, then you would want to hire a professional because the end result should be simply amazing. The kitchen should provide you with style and luxury.
It is best that you leave the work in the hands of a professional, this is because a good kitchen designer will know what things are in fashion and what are not. Aside from this he will also ask you about what are your likes and dislikes and what are your preferences. After hearing everything he will go on with the work and decorate and refurbish your kitchen according to your preferences and follow kitchen decoration ideas.
If your kitchen is already in a good shape, these designers will never recommend you to change the complete look of the kitchen instead they will only ask you to make some changes here and there. Designer kitchens have become a thing of the present and have become increasingly popular, if you are planning to change your kitchen then it is best that you opt for designer kitchens. These are the best kitchen decoration ideas that you can use to decorate a kitchen.

Dramatists Guild Foundation's F*cked Up Play Fest!
Ever wanted to see a piece of theatre that doubles as a drinking game? Look no further!
In this year's Fucked Up Play Fest, I'll be directing the piece titled Gaylor by a fantastic playwright and great friend of mine, SMJ. Although each piece in this festival is short, they are wild, fun, and full of criteria for drinking along.
The rehearsal time for this piece is short, so it's been an amazing challenge to work with SMJ and the actors in such a fast-paced environment. I love translating my work as an actor into my work as a director, helping the actors grow in their roles in the same way I love growing in mine throughout a performance process. Plus, nothing's more fun than directing a show for the gay girlies and the Swifties alike ;)
Make sure to catch the show on Jan 14th 2023 @ 9:30p!

Nita Brooks Lewallen
Cowgirl Hall of Fame, Ex 1943
Nita Boyd Brooks Lewallen was born in San Angelo, Texas, in 1923. As a young girl during the hard, lean times of the 1930s, she worked on her family's 30-section ranch south of Sweetwater. With an inherent love for horses and a determined and dedicated spirit, Nita won her first competition saddle at the age of 12 in the Double Hearts Rodeo in 1935. She continued as a serious youth competitor on the rodeo circuit throughout the Southwest.
In 1940, Nita enrolled at Hardin-Simmons University and became one of the first Six White Horse Riders. At the end of the 1940 semester, Nita withdrew from HSU due to the death of her mother, and returned to the campus in 1941. From 1941 to 1943, she was named Freshman Favorite, found time to teach horsemanship while studying business administration, rode with the Six White Horses, and competed in rodeos.
As World War II intensified, Nita began working on her personal plan to help with the war effort. Knowing the Army Air Corps needed women fliers to ferry aircraft into the war zones, she began taking flying instruction and soloed after only four weeks. Her most difficult problem was working out a schedule for riding her horse to the airport, flying, and then galloping back to school. She earned her "airman" certificate and was well on her way toward catching up with her brother Charles, who was completing his instructor rating, when she was selected to ride as a Ranch Girl Honor Guest in an exhibition at the 1943 World Championship Rodeo in Madison Square Garden.
Although she loved the University, she could not pass up this opportunity, which ultimately changed the course of her life. There she would meet and work with cowboy star Roy Rogers for an entire month in New York, and then represent the Southwest for two more weeks at the Boston Garden Rodeo.
While in New York, Nita met Louis Brooks, the 1943-44 World Champion All-Around Cowboy. The couple married in 1944 while Louis was still a professional cowboy. Louis was later inducted into the Rodeo Hall of Fame at Oklahoma City's National Cowboy Hall of Fame.
When Nita was devastated by her mother's death in 1940, her father, believing that owning land could solve any problem, took her to see a beautiful ranch with a spring-fed valley. She loved the property, and her father made a down-payment for her on the land right then.
By the time she entered Hardin-Simmons, she was already a successful cattle woman, raising Aberdeen Angus cattle on the ranch. After Louis retired from the rodeo circuit, he and Nita continued to develop the property and focused their attention on managing the ranch's horses and cattle.
Through the 1950s, Nita and Louis trained and bred thoroughbred Quarter Horses. After Louis's death in 1983, Nita and her son Louis Jr. honored her husband's wishes to carry on the horse business, maintaining the partnership they had established with Taylor Made Farm in Lexington, Kentucky. The following year, Coax Me Chad, one of the horses Louis and Nita had bred, finished second in the Kentucky Derby. Her most successful horse, Sam Who, won six of 12 races in 1989.
In both 1991 and 1993, Nita was named Texas Breeder of the Year by the Texas Thoroughbred Breeders Association, and in 1990, was appointed to the association's board of directors.
In 1992, she received the Thoroughbred Owners and Breeders of America's prestigious Texas State Breeder of the Year honor, presented at Gainesway Farm in Lexington, Kentucky. She has also been honored with the USDA Soil Conservation Award and the Goodyear Award for Rancher of the Year.
In 1997 Nita was inducted into the National Cowgirl Museum and Hall of Fame, which recognizes "women who have distinguished themselves while exemplifying the pioneer spirit of the American West." It is the only museum in the world dedicated to honoring and documenting the extraordinary accomplishments of women of the American West.
In 1990, after seven years as a widow, Nita married G.K. Lewallen, owner of a Stephenville western store who was a champion bull, saddle bronc, and bareback rider from 1937 to 1956. G.K., was also inducted into the Rodeo Hall of Fame at Oklahoma City's National Cowboy Hall of Fame. In 1998, both Nita and G.K. were inducted into the Cowboy Walk of Fame in Stephenville.
Nita and G.K. live in Stephenville, but Nita still devotes much of her time to the Sweetwater ranch where she and her family continue to raise cattle, sheep, and thoroughbreds. Her daughter, Leigh Brooks Odom, is an artist and lives in California. Nita has two granddaughters, two grandsons, and two great-grandchildren.
Throughout her many accomplishments, Nita has been described a caring and sincere woman with a soft-spoken, kind manner, and a genuine modesty.
It is the high honor of Hardin-Simmons University to recognize one of her own and to formally induct Nita Boyd Brooks Lewallen into the HSU Hall of Leaders.


Have 'Back to the Future' Questions For Christopher Lloyd? Ask Them Here!
/Film readers, you've been recruited. The producer and director of a new Back to the Future documentary, Back in Time, have asked for your help. They're well into production on a documentary about the history of Back to the Future and the long-lasting effect the film has had on popular culture. However, the twist is the film is being told through the eyes of the film's third star: The DeLorean.
Director Jason Aron and producers Louis Krubich and Lee Leshen have traveled all over talking to people inspired by the film, many of whom own DeLoreans, and the next up is one of their biggest yet: Doctor Emmet Brown himself, Christopher Lloyd. Aron has created a video specifically for the /Film readers asking for questions they can ask Lloyd. Then, sometime in the future, we'll be able to post his answers, even if they don't make it into the final film.
Below, give us your best Christopher Lloyd question in the comments, check out some production stills from Back in Time and read more about the film.
So again, put those questions in the comments below.
Three decades after the Back to the Future franchise launched, a visionary project aims to examine the iconic movies' impact on its global audience from the viewpoint of the star: the time machine itself, the DeLorean.
The cultural influence of the movies is the main element Director Jason Aron and his partners want to examine. With regular references to phrases like "88 miles per hour," "1.21 gigawatts," "flux capacitor," and many, many more having crept into the vernacular, the films have clearly had a lasting impact on modern pop culture. The documentary will look at how the franchise has inspired the fans, and how it's impacted and changed peoples' lives. Throughout production so far, the team has met and interviewed cast, production crew, and fans on two continents, and will continue to examine the depth and breadth of the ripples caused by the films over the coming months.

My Http resonse will be resent in $scope.items.
Thanks

A: Try to validate the response before populating the table...
Something like
    if(response!== null){
    $scope.items={};
    return;
    }
    else{
    $scope.items=response;
    }

A: Looks like maybe you are keeping the response from the API call in $scope for longer than needed.
Destroy and refresh the model object in $scope prior to API call so that the $scope only has objects from the new response.
eg.
    stories.destory()

In your controller, say your model
$scope.items.destroy();
// API call to receive results form server,
// now check if you received items response from server, if not display the message to the user.

Thanks,
Paul

There's a mini ice age coming, says man who beats weather experts
Piers Corbyn not only predicted the current weather, but he believes things are going to get much worse, says Boris Johnson, London's mayor.
December 21, 2010 — 4.18pm
Well, folks, it's tea-time on Sunday and for anyone involved in keeping people moving it has been a hell of a weekend. Thousands have had their journeys wrecked, tens of thousands have been delayed getting away for Christmas; and for those Londoners who feel aggrieved by the performance of any part of our transport services, I can only say that we are doing our level best.
Almost the entire Tube system was running on Sunday and we would have done even better if it had not been for a suicide on the Northern Line, and the temporary stoppage that these tragedies entail. Of London's 700 bus services, only 50 were on diversion, mainly in the hillier areas. On Saturday, we managed to keep the West End plentifully supplied with customers, and retailers reported excellent takings on what is one of the busiest shopping days of the year.
Footprints remain after people walked on the snow-covered beach at Weston-Super-Mare, England. Credit:Getty Images
We have kept the Transport for London road network open throughout all this. We have about 90,000 tons of grit in stock, and the gritters were out all night to deal with this morning's rush. And yet we have to face the reality of the position across the country.
It is no use my saying that London Underground and bus networks are performing relatively well - touch wood - when Heathrow, our major international airport, is still effectively closed two days after the last heavy snowfall; when substantial parts of our national rail network are still struggling; when there are abandoned cars to be seen on hard shoulders all over the country; and when yet more snow is expected today, especially in the north.
In a few brief hours, we are told, the snowy superfortresses will be above us again, bomb bays bulging with blizzard. It may be that in the next hours and days we have to step up our de-icing, our gritting and our shovelling. So let me seize this brief gap in the aerial bombardment to pose a question that is bugging me. Why did the Met Office forecast a "mild winter"?
Do you remember? They said it would be mild and damp, and between one degree and one and a half degrees warmer than average. Well, I am now 46 and that means I have seen more winters than most people on this planet, and I can tell you that this one is a corker.
Never mind the record low attained in Northern Ireland this weekend. I can't remember a time when so much snow has lain so thickly on the ground, and we haven't even reached Christmas. And this is the third tough winter in a row. Is it really true that no one saw this coming?
Actually, they did. Allow me to introduce readers to Piers Corbyn, meteorologist and brother of my old chum, bearded leftie MP Jeremy. Piers Corbyn works in an undistinguished office in Borough High Street. He has no telescope or supercomputer. Armed only with a laptop, huge quantities of publicly available data and a first-class degree in astrophysics, he gets it right again and again.
Back in November, when the Met Office was still doing its "mild winter" schtick, Corbyn said it would be the coldest for 100 years. Indeed, it was back in May that he first predicted a snowy December, and he put his own money on a white Christmas about a month before the Met Office made any such forecast. He said that the Met Office would be wrong about last year's mythical "barbecue summer", and he was vindicated. He was closer to the truth about last winter, too.
He seems to get it right about 85 per cent of the time and serious business people - notably in farming - are starting to invest in his forecasts. In the eyes of many punters, he puts the taxpayer-funded Met Office to shame. How on earth does he do it? He studies the Sun.
He looks at the flow of particles from the Sun, and how they interact with the upper atmosphere, especially air currents such as the jet stream, and he looks at how the Moon and other factors influence those streaming particles.
He takes a snapshot of what the Sun is doing at any given moment, and then he looks back at the record to see when it last did something similar. Then he checks what the weather was like on Earth at the time - and he makes a prophecy.
I have not a clue whether his methods are sound or not. But when so many of his forecasts seem to come true, and when he seems to be so consistently ahead of the Met Office, I feel I want to know more. Piers Corbyn believes that the last three winters could be the harbinger of a mini ice age that could be upon us by 2035, and that it could start to be colder than at any time in the last 200 years. He goes on to speculate that a genuine ice age might then settle in, since an ice age is now cyclically overdue.
Is he barmy? Of course he may be just a fluke-artist. It may be just luck that he has apparently predicted recent weather patterns more accurately than government-sponsored scientists. Nothing he says, to my mind, disproves the view of the overwhelming majority of scientists, that our species is putting so much extra CO? into the atmosphere that we must expect global warming.
The question is whether anthropogenic global warming is the exclusive or dominant fact that determines our climate, or whether Corbyn is also right to insist on the role of the Sun. Is it possible that everything we do is dwarfed by the moods of the star that gives life to the world? The Sun is incomparably vaster and more powerful than any work of man. We are forged from a few clods of solar dust. The Sun powers every plant and form of life, and one day the Sun will turn into a red giant and engulf us all. Then it will burn out. Then it will get very nippy indeed.

Hello Nina, In order to find out your Dad's platoon we would have to ask a veteran, or search the National Archives for reports that contains lists of men. Contact Bill Funke for names and addresses or phone numbers of men in HQ company of the 17th AIB email: fwilliam46@msn.com Also, HQ company is mentioned in some of the following reports. The 17th was usually fighting with the 23rd Tank Battalion in Combat Command R. But at Herrlisheim, part of the 17th was assigned with Combat Command A, and fought along side of part of the 43rd Tank Battalion. Our website has a good coverage of the Herrlisheim battle.

SINGAPORE (June 12): Sembcorp Marine announced that its fully-owned subsidiary, LMG Marin, has secured its first polar expedition cruise ship design contract, sighed with Croatia's Brodosplit Shipyard.
The ship will be constructed for Quark Expeditions, which specialises in expeditions to the Arctic and Antarctic aboard purpose-built expedition vessels.
According to the contract, LMG Marin will deliver a basic design package, which is scheduled for completion by the 3Q20.


Mumbai: Traditional Ayurvedic medicines may soon look and feel like other modern drugs, as the industry starts to use preservatives, colours, additives and excipients to compete globally with other forms of contemporary treatments.
In a notification dated 23 October, the Union government said it has amended the Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1945, to allow Ayurvedic and other traditional drug makers to use materials such as antioxidants, flavouring agents and sweeteners.
Such materials are permitted for use in making modern drugs by the Indian Pharmacopoeia, the country's official guide on the standards of material, quality, composition, design and formulation.
The department of Ayurveda, yoga, naturopathy, Unani, Siddha and homeopathy, the administrative arm of the ministry of health and family welfare that oversees quality standards and related regulation of traditional medicine industries, will start effecting the changes immediately.
The Ayurvedic industry, which had annual sales of about Rs7,000 crore in fiscal 2008, has long demanded these changes to boost both its domestic business and exports.
"This decision has come after more than two years of consultations and is based on science and technological considerations, with approval of Ayurvedic Pharmacopoeia committee," said D.B. Ananthanarayana, a senior member of the advisory committee of Ayurvedic Drug Manufacturers Association, an industry body.
Ayurveda is one of the oldest health care systems in India, but the country has struggled to popularize the system internationally. Exports of Ayurvedic tablets, capsules and other final products are considerably small, at just above Rs500 crore in 2007-08, though extracts and raw material exports were at about Rs1,200 crore.
Ranjit Puranik, chief executive of Ayurvedic drug maker and exporter Shree Dootapapeshwar Ltd, said restrictions on using additives in Ayurvedic drugs as well as the lack of scientific authentication of excipients and colours used in these drugs by Indian Pharmacopoeia were the major hurdles in seeking registration in the export market.

Obviously something goes wrong with passing the parameters to the sub-circuit. I have also tried the following syntax variations:
alter X1.@M1[W] = gauss(0.72u, 0.1, 3)
alter X1:@M1[W] = gauss(0.72u, 0.1, 3)
alter X1/@M1[W] = gauss(0.72u, 0.1, 3)
alter @X1.M1[W] = gauss(0.72u, 0.1, 3)
alter @X1:M1[W] = gauss(0.72u, 0.1, 3)
alter @X1/M1[W] = gauss(0.72u, 0.1, 3)
alter @X1.@M1[W] = gauss(0.72u, 0.1, 3)
alter @X1:@M1[W] = gauss(0.72u, 0.1, 3)
alter @X1/@M1[W] = gauss(0.72u, 0.1, 3)
alter @X1[M1[W]] = gauss(0.72u, 0.1, 3)
alter @X1(M1[W]) = gauss(0.72u, 0.1, 3)
alter @X1{M1[W]} = gauss(0.72u, 0.1, 3)

Nothing works...

By the way, when I move the sub-circuit content within the main netlist, simulation works fine...

However, this is not a practical solution. I would like to simulate other cells too, but copy pasting the contents of different sub-circuits into the main netlist is cumbersome and error prone.

A: May I recommend the ngspice discussion forums for posting such question? A much faster answer would have been available, not just by chance as has happened here.
After running your input file interactively, give the command
'listing expand', and you will see what the circuit structure looks like after subcircuit expansion.
m1 has becom m.x1.m1, m2 has become m.x1.m2. The alter command acts on the expanded circuit. Therefore, by replacing m1 by m.x1.m1 and m2 by m.x1.m2 in the alter statements you will get a suitable result.

London Public Library to Join Central Ohio Library Consortium
In December of 2013, the London Public Library Board of Trustees voted to join the Central Library Consortium. The consortium is a partnership between 14 public library systems in Central Ohio, with London, Bexley and Upper Arlington expecting to make their debut in the CLC catalog April 9th.
Currently, London patrons have access to roughly 45,000 items at the library, as members of the consortium, they will have access to over 4 million items, which includes materials from Columbus Metro Libraries, Fairfield County District Library, Grandview Heights, Marysville, Plain City, Worthington, Pickaway County, Pickerington, Wagnalls Memorial Library, Southwest, Alexandria Public Library, Upper Arlington and Bexley Library.
"Our library catalog will be married with all of the other consortium libraries so when a patron does a search for an item, it searches all of the catalogs. If we do not have a physical copy of something then the library that does will send a copy to us, which will arrive within two or three days," says Bryan Howard, the library's services manager who is overseeing the migration to the consortium.
The consortium will be delivering materials to the library five days a week, so that patrons at London and others in the system get their materials in a timely manner.
"Collaboration and material sharing has become the model of today's libraries and we realized that we couldn't physically grow our collections in house, but we are doing the next best thing," says Howard.
Other notable benefits to joining the consortium will be automated phone calls to patrons who have holds on materials, as well as cost saving opportunities for the library when purchasing databases and computer hardware. The library's system will be down from April 4 to April 8th as it is integrated into the consortium catalog. The go-live date for the updated CLC catalog is expected to be Wednesday, April 9th.
Meanwhile, the library will be closed from March 26 to April 13 as it goes under a major renovation of its main floor.
"There's a lot of work ahead but when it's all said and done, the community will have an updated library interior and access to a very large collection of materials. It is very exciting and we look forward to April 14th – we hope the community will too!" says Mike Hensel, library director.
The library is located at 20 E. First Street in London, Ohio and online at www.mylondonlibrary.org.

(from Discovery Channel's press release, April 2018) Fill up the gas tank, because it's time to hit the road. We asked America to bring us their rides to answer the age-old question, "What's my car worth?" in Discovery Channel's all-new series STICKER SHOCK. From dad's old pickup to souped up hot rods, this series has it all, and host Dennis Pittsenbarger and our team of expert appraisers are ready to uncover their value. Whether it's a clunker or a classic, what it's worth may shock you. STICKER SHOCK premieres Wednesday, May 2 at 10pm ET/PT on Discovery Channel. From cars you've always wanted, to cars you've never heard of, including Keller Super Chief, Blue Ray III, and Starcraft Starcruiser, Dennis, along with professional appraisers Randy Carlson, Addison Brown, Nick Smith and Todd Wertman, investigate their history and condition to determine a price tag you won't see coming. Cars are more than a set of wheels to get from point A to point B - they are members of the family. Aside from determining appraised values, STICKER SHOCK unveils the history and memories of these unique rides and automobile memorabilia. From cross-country vacations to circling Indianapolis Motor Speedway, each car has its own story, and this series is here to tell them.

In the summer of 2010, I blogged in an article called, Music Copyright, Qui Bono? about the economic dominance of four companies and how, the British participant in this oligopoly is now owned by Citigroup private equity. This was meant to be a look at the resultant monopoly structure that copyright monopoly rights create, and an introduction to the International Trade implications of intellectual property law. I managed to avoid mentioning the singer's tax affairs.
In September, Glynn Moody blogged in an article called "The Origin of Europe's Suicidal Copyright Policies where he reviews the most comprehensive piece of independent research on current Media Economics, a report called Media Economics in the Emerging Economies, which is available for free download at http://piracy.ssrc.org/the-report/. Its chief author, Joe Karaganis also precises the report on Torrent Freak in an article called Europe's odd anti-piracy stance: Send money to the US!. These documents are worth reading.
The Open Rights Group seem to be the noisiest opponents to the proposals to warn people on the accusation of rights holders, and use the warnings in evidence so lets see how open they are.
I found these notes lying around my computer, and so have posted them here.
It should also be noted that in the case of UK public policy, research needs to be done to see how much of the allegged 'lost revenue' will in fact be imports.
Copyright should not license for use. i.e. a consumer should be free to buy a CD have unlimited personal right to use.
Making this illegal and pursuing downloaders is not a neutral act. It is taking sides in innovation markets.
ISP customers should not pay for civil suit.
Music has always lobbied to protect their economic interests.
Its because they want to charge for use, they need these laws. Why should internet users pay a tax to help the record companies pursue a license for use.
A number of successful music acts today used the internet and free distribution to launch themselves using and creating sites like myspace and facebook.
Pay for radio license, listen to music, buy a CD, buy an itunes download, buy an .mp3 why?
He is also quoted as having the veiw that digital downloading/hosting is marketing and should be free.
Another example of sharing sunk cost is BT's FON offering where BT home hub customers share their wireless signal to other BT customers.
which doesn't say very much. BT's licence prohibits you from sharing your bandwidth, unless you subscribe to BT FON & BT Openview, which then allows you to use all the other people, businesses that share their wifi infrastructure. They then offer this as benefit to their sharing customers. Its a buy-in club, and you can of course pay cash to get more openview time. Its also an example of hardware, i.e. physical resources or capital that has a marginal cost to consume of zero.
Wikipedia has a page, Music Industry which documents the dominance of Sony Music Entertainment, Universal Music Group, Warner Music Group and EMI in the supply of recorded music, shipping 71.6% Worldwide in 2005. EMI had a 13.4% share worldwide. (The UK figures more recently would be good, although I believe that EMI are loosing money).

No. 7 Baseball Sees 9–Game Win Streak Snapped
Home » News » No. 7 Baseball Sees 9–Game Win Streak Snapped
FORT SMITH, Ark. – The 7th-ranked St. Mary's baseball team will have to start a new winning streak.
Snapping the Rattlers' nine-game streak, Arkansas-Fort Smith beat St. Mary's 2-0 at Crowder Field on Saturday.
Carrying a no-hitter into the eighth inning, Arkansas-Fort Smith's Taylor Shaddy pitched a complete-game two-hitter for the Lions, stifling the Rattlers' red-hot offense after St. Mary's dominated Games 1 and 2 of the series on Friday.
Arkansas-Fort Smith struck for a run in the third and another in the sixth, giving Shaddy enough run support for the win.
St. Mary's catcher Ryan Morrow (Sr., Bulverde, Texas) and outfielder Josh McElroy (Jr., Helotes, Texas) each singled in the eighth inning to break up Shaddy's no-hitter.
Rattlers pitcher Carl O'Neal struck out seven in 7.1 innings, while scattering just five hits and two earned runs.
St. Mary's, which is 27-7 on the year, hosts Houston-Victoria at 5 p.m. Tuesday at V.J. Keefe Memorial Stadium.
Certificate program fills gap in soaring demand for business intelligence experts


I got out of the house for the first time since Lil'Pipomixes arrived last Friday to attend Flavor's 90's Night. I was pleasantly surprised to see that they were selling 90's themed mixes from both J. Rocc and DJ Spinna. J. Rocc's mix focuses on b-sides and album cuts from the 90's while Spinna's mix (it will post soon) focuses on RnB from the 90's. I think I was one of like three people who actually bought the J. Rocc and Spinna mixes being sold at the event. I don't know if all the heads there just didn't know the time, or whether they knew they'd eventually get the mixes here. In any event, here you all go. Enjoy.

Lyrical Prophets Strictly Dope "Back Atcha"
