Q: SwiftUI sharing timer through views in navigation view I'm pretty new at SwiftUI.
I would like to make an app that navigates through different views in a Navigation View and running a timer in background presenting the time on each of the views.
The problem is when I navigate to a second level of navigation. When the timer is on, the app returns automatically to the previous navigation view.
Here's is a screenshot video of what I mean:
https://youtu.be/eXbK9jpluvk
Here is my code:
import SwiftUI
struct ContentView: View {
@State var timer = Timer.publish(every: 1,  on: .main, in: .common).autoconnect()
@State var seconds : Int = 0
@State var paused : Bool = true

var body: some View {

    VStack {
        Text("\(seconds)")
        Button(action: {
            paused.toggle()
        }) {
            Image(systemName: paused ? "play.fill" : "stop.fill")
        }
        NavigationLink(destination: FirstView( timerSeconds: $seconds, timerPaused: $paused)) {
            Text("Navigate 1")
        }.padding()
    }
    .onReceive(self.timer) { currentTime in
        if !paused {
            seconds = seconds + 1
            print(currentTime)
        }
    }
    .navigationViewStyle(.stack)

}

}
struct FirstView: View {
@Binding var timerSeconds : Int
@Binding var timerPaused : Bool

var body: some View {

        VStack {
            Text("First View")
            Text("\(timerSeconds)")
            Button(action: {
                timerPaused.toggle()
            }) {
                Image(systemName: timerPaused ? "play.fill" : "stop.fill")
            }
            NavigationLink(destination: SecondView(seconds: $timerSeconds)) {
                Text("Navigate 2")
            }
        }

}

}
struct SecondView: View {
@Binding var seconds : Int

var body: some View {
    Text("\(seconds)")
}

}
Any help will be welcome!!
Thanks a lot

A: NavigationView can only push on one detail NavigationLink so to have more levels you need to set .isDetailLink(false) on the link. Alternatively, if you don't expect to run in landscape split view, you could set .navigationViewStyle(.stack) on the navigation.

Tripadvisor unveiled the results of its annual Travellers' Choice Awards for Restaurants, which took into consideration the quantity and quality of the reviews left on the platform to determine where foodies can find the creme de la creme.
The fine dining category looked at 'high-end, special occasion restaurants known for impeccable food and service' – and topping the list was Adam's in Birmingham, which wowed for its mouthwatering dishes and friendly service.
Adam's also proved a hit worldwide as it was also named the tenth best restaurant in the world, as well as the sixth best in Europe. It's also the second time it's topped the UK list, having previously won the accolade in 2015.
Adam Stokes, who runs the restaurant with wife Natasha, said in a statement: "We are absolutely thrilled to be awarded number one in the UK and 10th in the world in the Travellers' Choice Awards for Fine Dining Restaurants.
"This is our sixth proud year of being included in these customer focused awards and it is a huge achievement. I am immensely proud of our whole team AKA the 'Adam's family'.

People Who Start Buying Organic Rarely Go Back, Says Recent Study
By Aimee Lutkin
A new study from the Journal of Consumer Research is disproving some long held theories about how people make changes in what they shop for in the produce aisle. Researchers followed 8,700 consumers for 20 months, using information gleaned from a customer rewards service at a huge Dutch retailer. It has generally been assumed that people start with one organic product—most commonly, organic milk. They may then take the next step up, but it's a fairly long journey from one product to the next. Actually, it's an incredibly smooth transition.
Beyond Pesticides reports that John Thøgersen, the study's coauthor and professor at the Aarhus University of Business and Social Science in Denmark, shared a press release explaining the significance of their findings.
"In connection with organic consumption, there has previously been talk of an 'organic staircase' in the sense that consumers are generally buying certain organic products before others. But our research shows that in fact, we're dealing with an escalator where the upward movement is taking place automatically. Once you've purchased your first organic product, you're not likely to stop. You'll continue, and over time, you'll increase your organic shopping list. And you'll even be following a rather predictable consumption pattern."
Basically, it's a lot easier to make the switch than people thought.

A post shared by Eco Caters (@ecocaters) on Oct 6, 2017 at 12:33pm PDT
After milk, people generally move on to buying fruits and vegetables, then finally eggs and things like flour or sugar. Eventually, almost everything they buy right up to frozen foods are organic. In 2016, U.S. consumers spent $43 billion on organic products, which is $4.2 billion more than the previous year. This climb is significant, because organic farming is often considerably better for the environment, from soil to water quality, and limits the use of dangerous pesticides.
If you've made the switch from conventional to organic produce, you probably also know that they taste better too. But that's not what's driving people. Researchers previously thought that people make a perceived "moral" choice, feel good, and then feel free to make a comparatively naught choice right after. So they might buy organic milk, then run and buy some Oreos to dip in it. Thøgersen says it's actually the opposite. Making one good choice leads people to want to make more good choices.
"What's interesting is that something is making the organic consumers stick to their guns. Something is making them stand fast. Our study doesn't tell us anything about why this is the case, but if we include our knowledge from previous research in the area, we're able to make an educated guess," Thøgersen wrote. "It becomes a way in which we define ourselves. As a result, we build an identity around the notion of buying organic products, and we're highly unlikely to suddenly change our moral values."
He added, "Once a person has decided to do good, he or she will actually be even more likely to continue to do good."

U.S. team headed to Women's World Cup final in Vancouver
Posted on Jul 1, 2015 by Joe Veyera

On Tuesday afternoon, the U.S. Women's National Team punched its ticket to the FIFA World Cup final next Sunday with a 2-0 victory over Germany.
For the uninitiated, this isn't something that happens often. The U.S. also made the final of the last Women's World Cup four years ago — losing to Japan in a penalty shootout after playing to a 2-2 draw in regulation. But they haven't won it all since beating China in 1999.
That match 16 years ago provided one of the most iconic images in women's soccer history, with Brandi Chastain celebrating her game winning penalty shot by ripping off her jersey in front of a crowd of more than 90,000 at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, Calif.
Whether you're a diehard, longtime Team USA supporter, Sunday's final match will be worth watching.
Take note Seattleites: You're just three hours away from the action!
Canada's stint as World Cup host wraps up at BC Place Stadium in Vancouver at 4 p.m. Sunday, when the U.S. will take on either Japan or England.
Update: Japan defeated England 2-1 on Wednesday, so they will face the U.S. team in the final.
Have questions about the big game? Want to be there in person as the U.S. Women's Team makes history?We've got answers:
If a solo drive north of the border and back doesn't sound ideal, there are several other options for the short trek to British Columbia.
Bolt Bus trips between Seattle and Vancouver are selling out fast, but tickets for most offerings between now and match day remain. That includes a 6:30 a.m. departure on Sunday for $30 that would have you in Vancouver by 10:30 a.m. for the 4 p.m. match.
Seats also remain on Amtrak Cascades train service between the two cities, starting at around $40 each way.
No matter the method of transport, remember that a passport or enhanced driver's license is required.
I've made it to Vancouver. How do I get into the game?
Unfortunately, it's too late to buy tickets through the tournament organizers, with the final seats for the final snapped up earlier in the week.
While that doesn't leave you entirely out of options, third party sellers are charging a pretty penny. As of Wednesday morning, the cheapest ticket on StubHub, for a seat in the stadium's 300 level, was going for over $350.
There are, however, more wallet friendly options if taking in the atmosphere around the stadium is enough for you.
The Vancouver Fan Zone in the shadow of BC Place is free and open to the public from 12 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Sunday. Located at Larwill Park, the zone offers concessions, live music and entertainment, and most importantly, a large viewing tent.
U.S. Soccer will also be hosting pair of parties for fans in Vancouver, both at the Commodore Ballroom, from 7 p.m. to 1 a.m. on Saturday, and 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Sunday.
What if I want to stay close to home?
In a soccer-hungry city like Seattle, there's no shortage of local locations to take in the final.
The Atlantic Crossing Pub (6508 Roosevelt Way NE) and Fado Irish Pub & Restaurant (801 1st Avenue) are both officially recognized by the U.S. Soccer Federation as gathering spots to watch U.S. National Team games with fellow fans.
For a family friendly, all ages atmosphere, the Phinney Neighborhood Association will host a showing of the final on its 14-by-8 foot movie screen at the Phinney Center (6532 Phinney Ave N). The event is free, but donations of $2 for children under 18, $3 for adults, and $10 for families of four of more are suggested.
Are there any local players to root for?
Absolutely! The USWNT's 23-man roster includes a pairing that suits up for the National Women's Soccer League's Seattle Reign FC when they're not on national team duty.
Goalkeeper Hope Solo (also a University of Washington alumna) and forward Megan Rapinoe are both expected to start for the United States on Sunday, before returning to Seattle for a homecoming match against the Western New York Flash at Memorial Stadium on July 11.
However, they're not the only familiar national teamers for Seattle fans.
Forward Sydney Leroux played for Reign FC last season, before being traded to the Flash in a deal that sent the league rights to forward Abby Wambach to Seattle.
Wambach hasn't yet donned a Seattle jersey, and her professional plans for after the World Cup remain up in the air.
Forward Alex Morgan also has local connections, having appeared in three games for the Seattle Sounders Women in 2012 alongside Solo, Leroux, and Rapinoe. She's also married to former Seattle Sounders midfielder Servando Carrasco.
Anything else I need to know?
It's been an impressive stretch for the United States in the tournament. The Americans have gone 2-1-0 in group play — with victories over Australia and Nigeria, and a scoreless draw with Sweden. Then they knocked off Colombia 2-0 in the round of 16, and China 1-0 in the quarterfinals, before their big win over Germany on Tuesday.
While Sunday's match certainly won't be easy, it promises to be an exciting affair you won't want to miss, whether it's in Vancouver, or in the comfort of your own living room.

Discussion in 'Archived Threads 2001-2004' started by Greg_S_H, Aug 15, 2001.
I'm thinking it was early-to-mid '80s, around the time Dreamscape, Blue Thunder and WarGames came out. All I remember is some people (a guy and a girl, maybe?) walking through what might have been Hell, but it was frozen. There are people frozen in ice. One of them is Albert Einstein. One of the non-frozen people looks at him and asks, "What's he doing here?" The other one says, "Because he caused the creation of the atom bomb!" Hey, I didn't say it was a good movie! Still, I remember seeing it and would like to know what it was.
The only thing I can find that comes close on imdb is "Music of the Spheres". All the other 80's movies with a character credited for Einstein have no details, so it's hard to tell.
I can't tell from the newsgroup review or the plot summary if that's it, but I don't remember seeing a movie called Music of the Spheres. Even if it's not the one I saw, though, it sounds pretty interesting. I may have to check it out! Thanks for looking that up.

complicated. Here at ReefCroaker we like to say that "We design simplicity" and to me this is much more than a catchy motto, it is my entire reason for becoming an inventor. I want to create products that make life more….user friendly.
I am very proud to introduce to you my latest invention the Cinch-N-Clinch. As an avid outdoorsman, my love for diving, backpacking, and sailing inspired me to invent the Cinch-N-Clinch. I was constantly looking for a device that would secure my gear in even in the harshest environments. Unfortunately, I found nothing on the market versatile enough to fulfill all of my needs. So like I always say, " if you can't find a solution, you make a solution."
Recently our Kickstarter campaign was fully funded with a goal of 15,000.00 dollars. Do to the popularity of our product I believe it is now time to move to the next phase of our business plan, manufacturing, marketing and mass distribution.
Cinch-N-Clinch is a household name as well as a household product.

I recently upgraded from PRI/T1's to SIP on my ShoreTel phone system. I put an Ingate SIParator in front of the ShoreTel system, and the majority of the functionality works as intended.
The last thing that I can't get to work is inbound faxing.
Before I upgraded, I had inbound faxing working so that a fax to anyone's number on the ShoreTel system would be identified and would be redirected to a GFI FaxMaker system, which would then handle the distribution of the fax. The way this worked is an auto-attendant would answer the initial call, DSP's in the ShoreTel system would hear CNG, and they would reinvite with T38. If it wasn't a fax, the auto-attendant would proceed with standard call flow. Now that we're using SIP, the DSP's in ShoreTel can't detect CNG and thus we never reinvite with T38 to convert to a fax call.
I'm wondering if anyone is familiar with a third party device that can be used as an SBC/gateway for fax detection over SIP? Perhaps something that I can put in between my Ingate SIParator and the ShoreTel system? I've been told that a Cisco Voice Gateway would accomplish what I'm trying to do, but I'm wondering if anyone's faced similar challenges and might be aware of a similar device that can do this?
We are working on adding SIP trunks to our system but every vendor we talk to recommends that we do not use SIP for fax. You might be able to work with your SIP provider to get a better connection (more bandwidth) for fax calls but at this point we plan on following our vendor's recommendation and routing faxes through traditional connections. Which will work good for outbound calls and calls to dedicated fax numbers ... not so good for receiving faxes on "voice" extensions as you are doing.
I have our system set to reroute faxes that are sent to voice extensions to either our fax server (RightFax) or each site's fax machine (if it is connected to a ShoreTel line).
I hope you are able to resolve the issue.
Thanks a lot for the feedback and sorry for the delay. We never did get this working. Our business units worked around it and we've adopted an eFax type model, though we'd love to have single number dialing faxing back if we can pull that off with ShoreTel and SIP.


Earlier this week (Tuesday, September 25), we celebrated Hapoel Katamon Jerusalem's (HKJ) victory in the Toto Cup, a competition for national league clubs in Israel.
The win was a truly historic occasion and achievement because it was the first time a club owned by supporters has claimed a professional title in the country.
Although the Toto Cup is held for clubs in the second division of Israeli football, the atmosphere in the stands on the night was similar to an atmosphere of a Premier League fixture. The fans started to arrive at the Ramat Gan Stadium early on, and eventually over 2,000 people from Jerusalem watched Nigerian youth William Agada clinch the vital goal of the 1-0 win. Yogev Lerman, team captain, then hoisted Katamon's first trophy in the history of the club into the air after the final whistle.
The victory is also testament to the club's promising start to the season, with the team winning four out of five games so far. The main objective is to be promoted to the Premier League next season and to achieve this the players, professional team and fans will have to continue working hard and winning more games over the coming few months.
Every year about 800 people renew their membership in the club, with the members choosing the management group to lead HKJ forward for the coming 12 months each March. Football fans and the media in Israel are noticing this approach, and the 'glass ceiling' is beginning to shatter – namingly the understanding that it is possible for a group of fans in the form of Katamon to find themselves amongst the great teams of Israeli football.
הפועל קטמון ירושלים מחזיקת גביע הטוטו לליגה הלאומית!
This victory is not a standalone achievement either: the Toto Cup win is part of a steady trend of professional improvement seen over the last number of years. HKJ has a professional support team and some of the best training facilities in Israel. The club's youth department trains eight team and 300 children. In addition, social activities involve over 1,000 children from all over Jerusalem with senior players signing up to be part of this vital social work as part of their playing contracts.
So while this season's Toto Cup may be a first for Katamon, there is much more to come from this community-owned football club in the heart of Israel.

Can it be true? Are Councillors beginning to wake up from NightMayor Len Brown's bad dream for Auckland as they realise they are being tainted by their willingness to back everything he does?
When left-wing Councillor Cathy Casey and right-wing George Wood unite to oppose Brown and demand a referendum for the people of Auckland on whether they are willing to be taxed to use the motorway then he's got trouble ahead.
Tomorrow's vote for a referendum, if passed, would also send a message to Council Officers that it is not they who run the city. Naturally they oppose the people having a say. Too often Councillors have followed the advice of their bureaucrats rather than listening to those who elect them. Auckland Council is run by officers who are mediocre at best. The criteria for their selection appears to have been solely that they served Brown when he was Mayor of Manukau. In a rush to 'cleanse' the city of experienced former Auckland City Council officials a host of second rate Manukau Mafia were appointed to positions way above their competence level. They now 'advise' Councillors on a host of issues.
My advice to Councillors is don't believe a word they say, or, if you believe it, ignore it. Bureaucrats have their own agenda and don't have to face election. You do, so stop relenting and start representing.

Meghan Markle's Givenchy wedding dress was a thing of beauty – elegant, sophisticated and with a hint of glamour.
But it was her second dress of the evening, for her reception at Frogham House, which has really caused a stir with fashionistas.
The white halter-neck number, designed by Stella McCartney, was the perfect dress to end the occasion and now a perfect replica has been found at a fraction of the price.
Fans of the dress can now get their hands on a look-a-like of the wedding dress for just £22 from Boohoo.com, as reported in the Manchester Evening News.
The dress which stunningly showed off Meghan's toned arms and shoulders, was not only a flattering style for her svelte body shape, the fluidity of the hemline made it the perfect choice for a night of dancing, and celebrating into the early hours.
This slinky full length style comes with a thigh high split if you want to flash a little more flesh than the former Suits actress did on her big day.
The dress is currently out of stock online, but there are rumours it'll be back and available to buy again next week, so don't miss out it's sure to be a sell-out.
Thanks Boohoo, it looks like we can all afford to sparkle like Markle this summer.

Judge Approves American Air Bankruptcy Plan, Pending Anti-Trust Resolution
- Sep 12, 2013 10:01 am
If American and US Air can overcome the anti-trust movement from the Justice Department, they won't have Judge Lane to stand in their way anymore.
— Jason Clampet
A U.S. bankruptcy judge on Thursday approved AMR Corp's plan to exit bankruptcy, subject to resolution of a U.S. government lawsuit to block a proposed merger with US Airways Group Inc.
Judge Sean Lane approved the plan at a hearing in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in New York.
It was the American Airlines parent's third attempt to convince Lane to approve the deal in the face of opposition to the merger, which is the main component of the plan. At prior hearings, Lane had expressed uncertainty about approving a plan that might change.
But on Thursday Lane said his job was to determine whether the plan meets standards of feasibility under bankruptcy law, independent of the lawsuit.
"The question is whether it will succeed once consummated, not whether it will be consummated," Lane said. "Here, there can be no dispute that the plan is feasible, if allowed to proceed."
While Lane's ruling gives his blessing to AMR's restructuring efforts, any divestitures or other material changes to the plan that result from settlement talks with the Justice Department would have to go back to him for approval.
In its lawsuit on August 13, the Justice Department said the merger would create too much consolidation and lead to higher fares for consumers.
If the Justice Department succeeds in blocking the merger, it would put AMR's restructuring back to square one and require it to forge new strategies for paying back creditors. AMR shareholders, who stand to receive a 3.5 percent stake in the merged entity, would likely be wiped out under any plan that excludes a merger, restructuring experts say. Most of AMR's key creditors, including its unionized workers, support the tie-up.
The antitrust lawsuit is likely to take months to resolve, and possibly longer if it goes to trial.

CTFC is a forest research and training centre based in Solsona (Catalonia, Spain). CTFC was founded in 1996 as a consortium of 6 local and regional institutions (the Consell Comarcal del Solsonès, the University of Lleida, the Diputació de Lleida, the Catalan Foundation for Research and Innovation, the Centre de Desenvolupament Rural Integrat de Catalunya and the Catalan Government).
CTFC's aims are: to contribute to the modernisation and competitiveness of forestry sector and to the sustainable development of environment in Mediterranean field, through training and technology transfer to society.
The research working programmes are: Forestry and forest management; Forest production (wood and bioenergy); Functioning of ecosystems and biodiversity; Socio-economics and forest policy; Forest fires and other disturbances; and Non-Wood Forest Products. Otherwise training is a transversal programme.
The CTFC's activity is not merely restricted to competitive research but also includes technology and knowledge transfer and training, which represents a considerable volume of its activity, making use of its results to improve the competitiveness of the forestry and rural sectors in the Mediterranean.
Technology transfer in the form of agreements with the private sector and public administrations is complemented with the organisation of seminars for the general public and agents from the sector (managers, owners, experts, the administration, scientists, etc.) at national and international levels, contributing to the transfer of this knowledge and the generation of debate. In the training sphere, the CTFC's activity embraces everything from basic training for workers to life-long learning and specialised education in the form of post-graduate studies and master degrees (MEDfOR; MSc European Forestry).
CTFC's experience and expertise focus on European projects on forestry, environment, rural development, biodiversity, equal opportunities, education and training, and since 2004 it is highly linked to issues of entrepreneurship through a specific training.
The Group of Medicinal and Aromatic Plants of the Non Wood Forest Products Department of CTFC is specialized in the research, technology transfer, training and business assessment on cultivation and wild harvesting of aromatic and medicinal plants. Since 1997 has participated in European projects (Life-Environment, Equal, Interreg IIIB and IIIC, Enpimed-CBC Med, Lifelong learning), in international cooperation (El Salvador, Morocco, Argentina, Andorra). It has founded the Catalan Association of Medicinal and Aromatic Plants Producers (ACPPAM) managing the secretary between 2000-2010, having a close relationship with sector stakeholders, doing entrepreneurship assessment and technical training through courses, seminars and professional visits about agroforestry production, raw material transformation and herbs products commercialisation.


Disruption of URA7 and GAL6 improves the ethanol tolerance and fermentation capacity of Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
Screening of the homozygous diploid yeast deletion pool of 4741 non-essential genes identified two null mutants (Deltaura7 and Deltagal6) that grew faster than the wild-type strain in medium containing 8% v/v ethanol. The survival rate of the gal6 disruptant in 10% ethanol was higher than that of the wild-type strain. On the other hand, the glucose consumption rate of the ura7 disruptant was better than that of the wild-type strain in buffer containing ethanol. Both disruptants were more resistant to zymolyase, a yeast lytic enzyme containing mainly beta-1,3-glucanase, indicating that the integrity of the cell wall became more resistance to ethanol stress. The gal6 disruptant was also more resistant to Calcofluor white, but the ura7 disruptant was more sensitive to Calcofluor white than the wild-type strain. Furthermore, the mutant strains had a higher content of oleic acid (C18 : 1) in the presence of ethanol compared to the wild-type strain, suggesting that the disruptants cope with ethanol stress not only by modifying the cell wall integrity but also the membrane fluidity. When the cells were grown in medium containing 5% ethanol at 15 degrees C, the gal6 and ura7 disruptants showed 40% and 14% increases in the glucose consumption rate, respectively.

' BAGHDAD – The U.S. military said three of its soldiers were killed and two others wounded by insurgents in Baghdad on Sunday.
RAMADI – U.S. forces killed two suspected insurgents on Sunday after observing them loading weapons from a cache into a vehicle in the insurgent stronghold city of Ramadi, 110 km (70 miles) west of Baghdad, the U.S. military said. . .
Well, something clearly was going on in Ramadi on Sunday, though it isn't clear from these staccato and desultory items what exactly it was. As I understand it, there are daily battles between US forces and local ones in Ramadi and its environs. This Sunni Arab city of 400,000 west of Baghdad is under continual siege. I want to ask a question here. Why? When and under what conditions will it be lifted?
The Iraq Study Group or Baker-Hamilton Commission will urge intensive diplomacy with Syria and Iran to help deal with the Iraqi civil conflict but will not urge a phased pull-out of US troops.
If they don't, they should specify the mission. What is the mission of the US military in Ramadi? I hope my readers will press their representatives in Congress and the executive branch to answer this question. What is the mission? When will it be accomplished?
(You could substitute Tikrit, Samarra', Baquba, and other Sunni Arab cities for Ramadi).
It is not going to happen. In fall, 2003, 14 percent of Sunni Arabs thought it was legitimate to attack US personnel in Iraq. Now over 70 percent do. Isn't it going toward 100 percent? How would more or less keeping the people of Ramadi in a cage help things in that regard, especially if they perceive us to be doing it on behalf of the Supreme Council for Islamic Revolution in Iraq (founded by Ayatollah Khomeini in Iran) and the Kurdish Peshmerga and the Israeli army?
The idea that al-Anbar tribal forces will pull the US fat from the fire is a non-starter. Some of the tribes are openly agitating on behalf of Saddam Hussein. Any who are fighting the Salafis or Muslim fundamentalists are doing it as a grudge match. Tribes are notoriously factionalized among themselves and seldom unite for very long. The rural tribes just aren't a big center of power in Iraq any more– it is largely urban and the power centers are urban political parties and their paramilitaries. Those urban forces have vast hinterlands of practical and monetary support in the region– Iran for the Shiites, the Oil Gulf and small-town Jordan and Syria for the Sunni Arabs. They are not going to decline in importance.
Syria and Iran are not responsible for the resistance in Ramadi or Baquba and probably can't do anything about it. Therefore negotiating with them is not a silver bullet, though it might be useful in its own right.
What is the military mission? I can't see a practical one. And if there is not a military mission that can reasonably be accomplished in a specified period of time, then keeping US troops in al-Anbar is a sort of murder. Because you know when they go out on patrol, a few of them each week are going to get blown up or shot down. Reliably. Each week. Steadily. It is monstrous to force them to play Russian roulette every day unless there is a clear mission that could thereby be accomplished. There is not.
Senator Chuck Hagel's argument for withdrawal is powerful, but it focuses on the botched character of the American enterprise in Iraq and the monetary expense and cost to our military force structure. Those are important arguments, but could be countered by the White House as insufficiently urgent to require a withdrawal.
That is why I think it is important to keep the focus on the question of the US purpose in occupying the Sunni Arab regions of Iraq. Every time you hear someone say that we have to keep the troops in Iraq, press that person to explain what the mission is exactly and how and when it will be accomplished.

Die Mittagshexe op. 108 ist eine Sinfonische Dichtung des Komponisten Antonín Dvořák.

Entstehung

Nach Dvořáks Rückkehr von der Dozententätigkeit am New Yorker National Conservatory of Music in seine Heimat im Jahr 1896 schrieb der Komponist mehrere sinfonische Dichtungen, die – bis auf Heldenlied, für das Dvořák ein eigenes Programm entwickelte – auf Stoffen aus der Balladensammlung »Kytice« (Blumenstrauß) des tschechischen Dichters Karel Jaromír Erben beruhen.

Instrumentierung
Aus der Partitur ergibt sich folgende Besetzung:

 2 Flöten, 1 Piccoloflöte
 2 Oboen
 2 Klarinetten in A, 1 Bassklarinette in A
 2 Fagotte
 4 Hörner in F
 2 Trompeten in C
 3 Posaunen
 1 Basstuba
 Pauken
 Becken, große Trommel, Triangel, Glockenspiel
 Streicher (Violine 1+2, Viola, Violoncello, Kontrabass)

Inhalt

Am Anfang der Dichtung wird das friedliche häusliche Leben einer Familie geschildert. In der Folge stellt die Oboe durch Tonrepetitionen das Geschrei des Kindes dar, dem die Mutter mit der böse Kinder bestrafenden Mittagshexe droht, die wenig später tatsächlich erscheint. Die Mutter versucht, die Hexe abzuwehren, als diese das Kind einfordert. Beim zwölffachen Schlag der Glocke zur Mittagszeit kann sich die Hexe des Kindes bemächtigen. Die Mutter wird ohnmächtig und wird später, mit dem toten Kind in ihren Armen, von ihrem Mann geweckt. Beide vernehmen das Freudengeschrei der Hexe.

Die Musik ist ähnlich einer Sinfonie in vier Handlungsabschnitte gegliedert. Der Fortgang der Handlung von der anfänglichen Idylle bis hin zum dramatischen Schluss wird durch entsprechende Variationen des C-Dur-Themas dargestellt. Über die Dissonanzen beim Erscheinen der Hexe schrieb der Komponist Leoš Janáček: »Man vermöchte den grauenhaften Schatten zu ertasten in diesen seltsam humpelnden, ungewohnten und ungeahnten harmonischen Fortschreitungen«.

Wirkung

Gemeinsam mit Der Wassermann (op. 107) und Das goldene Spinnrad (op. 109) kam Die Mittagshexe durch Anton Bennewitz am 3. Juni 1896 im Prager Konservatorium zur Uraufführung. Dieser privaten Veranstaltung folgten Aufführungen durch Henry Wood und Hans Richter in London.

Climate change is wreaking havoc on the power grid
If you're in the habit of reading the president's tweets, you may have noticed a theme the last few weeks: California is a fiery wasteland. He said as much Tuesday, writing that the Golden State is "going to hell."
What exactly is wrong with the nation's most populous state? Why, rolling blackouts, forest fires and water rationing:
Turn California around. No more shutdowns, rolling blackouts, forest fires (management), or water rationing (because millions of gallons are stupidly routed out into the Pacific Ocean). VOTE TRUMP! https://t.co/KSAgyPPmGc
Trump made the same points in another tweet last week, promising "no more blackouts" or "ridiculous forrest fires" (his typo, not mine) if he's reelected and clarifying that water rationing is "coming soon."
I'll let Times columnist Michael Hiltzik handle the water rationing stuff. He explains that California is not actually routing water to the Pacific — we've got these things called rivers that naturally carry water to the sea — and that Trump's comments ignore the needs of ecosystems. And with regards to forest management, California and the federal government both have work to do.
As for blackouts? Well, if Trump wants to keep the lights on, he might consider doing something about climate change.
Toward a more sustainable California
Get Boiling Point, our newsletter exploring climate change, energy and the environment, and become part of the conversation — and the solution.
I wrote last week about a report from state officials concluding that the two evenings of brief rotating outages California experienced in August were caused in part by a climate-fueled heat wave, along with poor planning and faulty market design.
There's been a lot of debate about the extent to which climate change is actually to blame. Officials pointed out that four of California's five hottest August days in the last 35 years came this past August; others have noted that the state experienced hotter days and higher overall peak electricity demand during a July 2006 heat storm that did not lead to rolling blackouts.
Here's what's not in dispute: As the planet gets hotter, largely because of the burning of fossil fuels, the number of blackouts caused by extreme weather is on the rise, in California and across the country.
The nonprofit research organization Climate Central analyzed federal data and released a report last month finding that hurricanes, wildfires, heat storms and other extreme weather events caused 67% more power outages in the United States during the decade ending in 2019 than they did during the previous decade. Here's a chart showing the trend:
There are peaks and valleys, but weather-related power outages are on the rise over the last 20 years. Power outages not related to the weather have stayed steady.
Here's another chart showing the trend in the Southwest. Weather-related blackouts more than doubled in the last decade:
California experienced 47 weather-related power outages during the last decade, compared to 21 the previous decade. We were one of 34 states (plus the District of Columbia) to see an increase in major blackouts caused by the weather.
Climate change isn't the only reason blackouts are on the rise. Roshi Nateghi, an industrial engineering professor at Purdue University, told me rapid urbanization — more people moving to cities — has put greater strains on aging infrastructure. And the data used by Climate Central may overstate the increase in weather-driven outages, since reporting requirements for utilities have gotten more stringent over time.
But there's no question climate change is playing a role, and the effects will only get worse, Nateghi said.
"A big part of it is that our grid is vulnerable to severe weather and climate events," she said. "And we have been seeing an increase in intensity and frequency of extreme events."
Why is extreme weather such a problem for the electric grid? Powerful winds can knock down utility poles. Intense rains can flood substations. Ice can accumulate on wires during winter storms. Wildfires can knock out power lines — or utility companies can be forced to shut down lines to avoid igniting fires. High temperatures can cause fossil-fueled power plants to produce less electricity, which actually happened with California's natural gas fleet in August.
Some grid infrastructure also doesn't fare well in extreme temperatures, as Los Angeles recently learned.
The city operates its own electric system and wasn't short on power like much of the rest of the state. But heat-related equipment failures contributed to nearly 28,000 homes and businesses losing power Aug. 19. The effects were worse during the Labor Day weekend heat wave, with more than 67,000 utility customers losing electricity Sept. 6.
"What happened during both of these heat storms was it didn't cool down at night," Nancy Sutley, chief sustainability officer for the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power, told me. "When it cools down at night — even when it's really hot during the day — the equipment has a chance to cool down, and it will be OK. But the nighttime temperatures — when it was 111 downtown, it wasn't 70 at night. It was 80 or 90 at night."
Solving these problems isn't going to get easier. Last month was the hottest September on record globally, federal government scientists say. The United Nations reported this week that the world suffered about 75% more extreme weather disasters during the last 20 years than during the previous 20 years, with economic losses rising from $1.63 trillion to $2.97 trillion.
The U.S. has already been hit by a record-tying 16 billion-dollar weather and climate disasters this year, from fires in the West to hurricanes in the Southeast to hail in the Midwest, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
There are steps we can take to protect the power grid, Nateghi told me. Utilities can bury power lines, a undertaking with high upfront costs that nonetheless can provide enormous value. Utilities can also reduce strain on the grid by investing in programs that reduce energy demand, and by building microgrids that keep communities powered using local energy sources such as solar panels and batteries.
"It's bleak if we don't do anything. But there's certainly a lot of options available," Nateghi said.
It's definitely not good that California didn't have enough power to keep the lights on during those two evenings in August. Utility companies and regulators will have to develop solutions to make sure it doesn't keep happening, especially as the state continues shutting down gas plants and adding wind and solar farms in pursuit of 100% clean electricity by 2045.
But it's important to understand that climate change — the main reason California is phasing out fossil fuels — also poses a significant threat to the reliability of our power supplies. At least so far, it's a much bigger problem than shortages.
Here's what else is happening around the West:
Five years ago, Exide Technologies admitted to environmental crimes and agreed to clean up its pollution in exchange for avoiding prosecution. Now Exide has filed for bankruptcy and plans to stop paying for the cleanup of up brain-damaging lead in Southeast L.A., my colleague Tony Barboza reports. Federal officials have agreed not to oppose Exide's plan; residents of the working-class Latino neighborhoods around the company's lead-acid battery plant are urging them to reconsider, Tony reports.
Amy Coney Barrett, the president's Supreme Court nominee, was asked about climate change during Senate confirmation hearings. She responded that she's "not a scientist" and has no "firm views" on the topic. The Supreme Court could play a big role in determining whether the federal government is able to mount a serious response to the climate crisis; as Marianne Lavelle wrote recently for InsideClimate News, activists are worried the court's landmark 2007 climate ruling could be in danger.
Biologists predict that when winter rains come, the San Gabriel River will be filled with soot and debris left by the Bobcat fire.
(Carolyn Cole / Los Angeles Times)
When the winter rains come, the San Gabriel River will likely be buried in a slurry of rocks and sediment after the land was scoured by the Bobcat fire. Biologists are scrambling to protect at-risk species such as the Santa Ana sucker fish and Southern California mountain yellow-legged frog, the Times' Louis Sahagun reports. Protecting these creatures will only get harder in a warming world, Louis writes, as California experiences more intense "whiplash shifts" between extremely dry and wet periods.
Did renewable energy cause California's rolling blackouts? State officials say the answer is no. But this notion was the implicit premise of President Trump's recent tweets, and also fodder for debate at this week's meeting of the state Assembly's energy committee. Assemblyman Jim Patterson (R-Fresno) said that California has categorized electricity produced by fossil fuels as "immoral electrons" and that "the moral electrons have been letting us down," as Rob Nikolewski reports for the San Diego Union-Tribune.
How was Gov. Gavin Newsom first inspired to protect nature? Turns out he had a pet river otter named Potter as a kid, and no, I'm not making this up. Following Newsom's executive order calling for California to protect 30% of its lands and coastal waters by 2030, Times columnist George Skelton wrote about how Potter the river otter informed the future governor's love of native plants and his concern for wetlands and insects. Newsom's father also founded the Mountain Lion Preservation Foundation.
Environmentalists and the hydropower industry are finding common ground. After decades of fighting over the impacts of dams — which have devastated river ecosystems even as they generate zero-carbon electricity — several major environmental groups and the National Hydropower Assn. announced an unusual agreement to work together on tearing down older dams while upgrading some dams to produce more energy, as Brad Plumer reports for the New York Times. The agreement includes language on potentially developing new pumped hydropower energy storage, a technology I wrote about this year.

CALIFORNIA BURNING
Yes, California is still burning — and more fires may be on the horizon. My colleague Paul Duginski reports that the state "looks to be stuck in a nearly endless loop of hot, dry weather," following an April-September period that was already historically hot and/or historically dry across much of the West. Pacific Gas & Electric said preemptive power shut-offs for 53,000 people would begin Wednesday evening as Diablo winds and low humidity brought red flag fire warnings across much of Northern California.
Unfortunately, there is no sign of meaningful rainfall on the horizon through the end of Oct. There is agreement across model ensembles regarding a strong anomalous warm/dry signal for next 2 weeks. #CAwx #CAfire pic.twitter.com/rf6iR3Rm97

Intentional power shut-offs haven't eliminated the risk of power lines sparking wildfires. PG&E says investigators are examining whether its infrastructure ignited the Zogg fire, which killed four people; Southern California Edison is facing similar scrutiny over the Bobcat fire, as The Times' Joseph Serna reports. San Diego Gas & Electric, meanwhile, wants to clear certain trees within 25 feet of power lines, rather than the state-recommended 12 feet, to reduce fire risk. But a consumer watchdog agency is questioning whether that's an effective use of ratepayer funds, as Rob Nikolewski reports for the San Diego Union-Tribune.
California is investigating allegations that private crews set illegal backfires during the destructive Glass fire, which swept through wine country. Here's the story from The Times' Hayley Smith, who writes that for-profit firefighters "have become something of a cottage industry in California in recent years." In better news, Joseph Serna reports that Sonoma County has done a better job of organizing evacuations and alerting residents to blazes in recent weeks than it did during a 2017 firestorm.
AROUND THE WEST
There's a growing gap between the "paper water" allocated to farmers and cities and the "actual water" available for use from the West's rivers. The Nevada Independent's Daniel Rothberg explored how this gap is creating tension in the Moapa Valley outside Las Vegas, where water rights holders include the Warren Buffett-owned utility NV Energy. (The company once used its water at the since-closed Reid Gardner coal plant, which produced electricity that was used to move water around in California.)
"Levi Sap Nei Thang has no known history in the energy business, although she has seen success developing fragrances and designing handbags." But this year she has purchased the right to drill for oil and gas on thousands of acres in six Western states, per the Salt Lake Tribune's Brian Maffly, as the Trump administration continues to sell off leases despite low oil prices. Critics say the Bureau of Land Management's leasing program has encouraged excessive speculation for public resources.
People are littering their disposable masks and gloves. The environmental nonprofit Heal the Bay just completed its annual Los Angeles County beach cleanup, and the group reports that personal protective equipment was the 10th-most common trash item found by volunteers this year, as my colleague Alex Wigglesworth reports. All I can say is … please, please don't be that person.

Let's end on a positive note. We've published several stories this week about rescued animals, including the twin mountain lion cubs who were orphaned by the Zogg fire and have now found refuge at the Oakland Zoo ("The pair can be seen on video flashing their brilliant eyes and periodically baring their tiny teeth," Luke Money writes) and the 10-year-old black bear whose paws were burned by the North Complex fire and who has now been released back into the wild after treatment (story by Hayley Smith).
But my favorite is this story by Faith E. Pinho about the mountain lion cub who recovered her roar after being found emaciated, dehydrated and weak in the San Jacinto Mountains near Idyllwild. I mean, just look at her picture:
The cub has doubled in weight in the last month and is set to be transferred to the Southwest Wildlife Conservation Center in Arizona in about a week.

First Impressions: Winter 2018 Season
winter-2018
Happy delayed new year! I'm still here and the blog too. I have worked in the past three weeks to make some small but significant changes to the blog. And now that those small details are sort out and all the shows have reached their third episode it's time to evaluate the first impressions of the Winter 2018' season. For what is worth, this seems to be a wholesome season.
Shows I like
Sora yori mo Tooi Basho
Winter season started strong with a show about the youthful aspirations of girls trying to arrive at a place that is beyond your imagination: Antarctica. At first the synopsis sounded silly but the show has managed to captivate my attention and root for the characters and their success. Wonderful writing, direction, art style and I'm excited to see where this show goes.
Yuru Camp △
This is more than Cute Girls Doing Camp Things, and probably undersells the show. While it follows your usual outsider who gets to know someone passionate about an activity (camping) and gathers others to learn and enjoy this activity, it makes it in a way that is different to others. We have two different points of view, the solitaire and group camping which results in different and enjoyable experiences.
Cardcaptor Sakura Clear Card
My main drive towards this show was nostalgia, Cardcaptor Sakura was one of those shows that transcended the anime label and became a staple of popular culture. And in contrast with Sailor Moon Crystal, this is "soft-reboot" done right. The creative team knows what made this show great and builds upon that to present us the continuation of Sakura's adventures. My only concern is that the CLAMP multiverse shit could be lurking behind the scenes, hopefully it doesn't ruin the show.
Karakai Jouzu no Takagi-san
Karakai Jouzu no Takagi-san is one of the cutest shows I have seen in recent years. The chemistry between the two main characters is perfect since the first scene. The tone of the show does not deviate to a standard comedy or cheesy love story but a cute tale of two people who like each other and express those feelings teasing (or attempt at) each other.
Ains-sama is back but this time we get lizards who learn to work as a team and overcome their previous prejudices and hatred to fight a common enemy. And it's fucking good, I did not expect the show to shuffle to this direction and even when it's obvious why, what could have been a terrible shift from the previous season it becomes an interesting tale of the mindset of Ainz Ooal Gown and what he tries to achieve. Overlord is so well written that you almost forget this is an Isekai.
One of the most hyped shows of the season, with Kyoani's A team behind is kind of boring. I would not blame this show for taking a different approach to the stoic girl who with the help of others will learn what feelings and empathy are, but Violet is not an interesting character. It is almost frustrating seeing her interactions in the show. Still gonna give a chance to this show until the end.
Koi wa Ameagari no You ni
Noitamina seems to like stories or adaptations of works where taboo relationships are the main topic and this show is no exception. I don't mind the age gap because from what I've gathered during these last episodes is that it won't be a 17 years old lusting for 45 years old man and he will take advantage of that. This is a story of broken people who have lost something and this will bring them together to fix and recover the things that are important to them.
A cast as diverse as the killing methods presented in the story, this is the surprise show of the season. A combination of the plot of Durarara with the characters of Baccano makes an interesting premise and you will want to know how deep the rabbit hole goes.
Killing Bites
The show with the schlockiest plot wins, that's what Killing Bites is. Unashamed of its simple story, proud of the monster girl exploitation and gratuitous shots of the girls this is the most entertaining and surprisingly educative show of the season. There has not been an episode where I did not laugh and encouraged the characters to win. Maybe what Kemono Friends needed to survive was more schlock.
Dagashi Kashi S2
The sexiest Japanese candy ad is back and it was not as bad as the previews led us to believe. With a new character design and with a reduced time slot, the pace of the show feels more appropriate to the subject matter. Sometimes you don't want a 20 minute lecture about a confectionery even if the narrator is Hotaru.
Takunomi
The cutest Japanese beer ad is airing right now. Four girls living together and sharing the delights of Japanese brewery and bar food. I don't drink but I like the interactions between the characters. This post was not sponsored by Sapporo Beer.
Sex, done the Trigger way. This show is as subtle with its allegory of sexual intercourse as the contestant who lost in a subtlety contest. Darling in the FranXX shares a similar problem that Violet Evergarden has, but here the main girl character is the most interesting one, and the ones are charisma vacuums, I don't care for them yet. Maybe, just like most Trigger works, it would get better in the next episodes.
Have you ever gazed up into the night sky and wondered just what is out there and if there's something out there, does it have giant rayguns. Pop Team Epic is the long awaited adaptation of bkub's 4-panel manga about the adventures of Pipimi and Popuko. Pop Team Epic is a show that ventures into the fabric of pop culture and tears it apart, burns the pieces and sniffs the ashes and later coughs it in your face. There has not been a greater shitpost force as this show. An unstoppable mass of irreverence that despite its use of references establishes its own style and presence.

The title speaks for itself, but it was also one of the victims of too many cute shows for one season.
Märchen Mädchen
I like when shows do not take itself seriously, but you have to commit yourself to that kind of tone. And this show was moving towards something gritty and did not feel right.
Hakyuu Houshin Engi
A reboot done wrong. The first adaptation took its time to establish the beginnings of the conflict but here it's like they compressed an entire volume in two episodes.
Hakumei to Mikochi
Another victim of too many cute shows, not as relatable as the others. Probably would watch at the end of the year.
Death March kara Hajimaru Isekai Kyousoukyoku
In a season where Overlord is airing, you cannot repeat the same Isekai tropes and shine for that. My only positive reaction is that the show is not as bad the one with the smartphone.
Soon to be dropped
Ito Junji Collection
Hopefully this is not a secret anymore, but I despise most of the works of Ito Junji and find its popular appeal unfunded. I thought that this adaptation was going to take some of its stories and create its own thing. Take the interesting settings he has, rework the flaws and present an enjoyable horror anthology. But this a carbon copy of them, and my gripes with his writing is multiplied when is transformed to anime form. We need more horror anime, but not like this.
Mitsuboshi Colors
I am kind of enjoying the show, it's another CGDCT with its wacky premise and presenting the everyday life in a Japanese shopping district. But I want more than that, for now its over the top comedy is what keeps me watching it.
Kokkoku
Solid first episode, a different approach to a urban fantastic setting with an old man and his family engulfed in a battle with a crazy religious cult. Sounds fine but every episode seems like they cut important aspects of who these people are and why they matter to the plot. A new guy shows up and he seems to be an important member of another sect but we are never told or shown why he is so important. This a detriment to the whole series.

You've heard the saying. The only constant is change. When knowing this truth why is there always resistance? I've definitely had it in myself. Coming to terms that nothing ever stays the same is the nature of this reality.
I've found yoga connects us to the part that never changes. The constant, no matter how much we kid ourselves, is what we are striving for.
In terms of transitions it's been evident in the Ashtanga yoga community. With Guruji passing, I've heard much talk about leadership, the practice, and the direction it's going. It's baffling. I haven't understood all the talk and energy around it. Why the worry? Isn't the practice essentially the same? And, didn't Guruji leave us with a suitable successor in his place? Sharath.
Often, I find people invest more time in controversy and gossip versus staying the course with what the practice is about.
Times of transition are times of beauty. We are shown examples of this all the time. The most awe inspiring events are during transitory periods. When the night turns to dawn, and the day turns to dusk. When seasons change. When we're stretched and challenged beyond what we thought possible. When moving from falsehood into truth.
There's bound to be turmoil, with change. And, what I've come to realize is there's no better time for growth and renewal.
When I look back at all the changes that have taken place over the past year I'm left feeling as if it was someone else who experienced it all. Strange. Wondering how the hell I even made it through and survived with some semblance of sanity has been an expansive experience.
Transitions allow us to squeeze the juice of life, and I wanna drink up!

Chelsea defender Gary Cahill believes the team are heading in the right direction under interim manager Guus Hiddink.
Cahill spoke to Chelsea's Official website after the 5-1 win at Stadium MK.
'Obviously the first half of the season was a disaster but we look like we're heading in the right direction at this moment in time,' he said.
'It was another good performance against MK Dons, not just the result but the way we moved the ball and everything that went with it.
'That's what we were looking for and hoping to do a lot earlier in the season. When you get results and don't lose games it breeds confidence and everything kind of comes back. I wouldn't say we're totally there yet but we're definitely going in the right direction.
'Against MK Dons it wasn't Premier League opposition but I thought we did well. In the first half we had so many chances and it could have been dead and buried.
There were rumours that the centre-back could be on his way out in January. But Chelsea will now be looking to keep hold of the Champions League winner, due to the imminent departure of captain John Terry.

Fury at recycle centre closure
Published: 6:12 AM February 2, 2010 Updated: 8:16 PM October 10, 2020
Council bosses have been accused of being "short-sighted" over plans to close one of Norfolk's recycling centres, with furious families urging them to reconsider the proposal.
Norfolk County Council has earmarked the recycling centre in Docking for closure, sparking anger from people who say the move will see a surge in fly-tipping.
The council says the Docking centre, at Docking Common, off Fakenham Road, needs to close to make way for a new one to open in Dereham.
The new centre is needed because there is a gap in facilities in central Norfolk, according to council bosses and they suggest people in Docking and surrounding villages could instead head to recycling centres in Heacham, Hempton and Wells.
But, at a meeting of the county council's cabinet on Monday users of the centre made clear their feelings to councillors, with 16 members of the public tabling questions about the proposal.
They said they were "horrified" by plans to shut the Docking centre, saying people would not bother to drive to the other centres and fly-tipping would increase.
Joy Hack, clerk of Docking Parish Council, was among those who posed questions. She said: "Local people feel that the recycling centre gives a good service and is used regularly, how can this site close just because it collects lower tonnage than other sites?
"It still offers a very valuable service to the local area, which includes many villages. Does it have to be cost effective to offer a good service and much needed facility?
"The county council should meet the needs of the local people. Why rob one site to fund another one at Dereham which will be of no use to local people, being a 60 mile round trip."
The concerns were shared by Andrew Morrison, who represents Heacham on the Borough Council of King's Lynn and West Norfolk and Michael Chenery of Horsbrugh, the county councillor for Docking, who simply asked: "Why?"
Ian Monson, cabinet member for waste and environment, said: "All recycling centres need to operate in a cost effective manner to provide best value to Norfolk's tax payers.
"The proposal does not reflect the quality of service at the site. Ultimately the site has considerably less usage and tonnage throughput than any other site in the county.
"In a time where the authority needs to save �140m over the next three years, efficiencies such as these have to be considered, particularly where alternatives exist."
He added the cost of fly-tipping after other centres closed had been very small and said the council had considered whether it could open the site part-time, but concluded health and safety issues meant the site needed two people to operate it, so would not have been cost effective.
Mr Monson added the closure was only a proposal at this stage and said a public meeting next month would give people another chance to make their views known to councillors.
The meeting will be held at Ripper Hall in Docking from 7pm on Friday, February 12.


When it comes to your pontoon boat or fishing boat, nothing is more important than safety and maintenance. The good condition of your boat is heavily hinged upon the achievements maintained and the grade of its upkeep. All through the year, taking good care of your boat is vital. Discussed below are several techniques to do this.
When leaving your boat out with the landing you will need to just be sure you pull the drain plug leave it removed. This will be significant since in the event it rains, water is not going to collect and accumulate inside the bilge. This can be dangerous as it could ruin the boats mechanical parts like the starter the risk is compounded through the indisputable fact that the bilge pump only works for a short while and it may not be as helpful in clearing accumulated water.
An outboard motor, perhaps the most common feature in fishing boats, limits one from leaving it unattended for very long spans of time. For the reason that in the event the fuel-oil mixture stays to take a seat within the carburetor, the fuel evaporates leaving the oil to clog the carburetor causing unwanted and expensive damage. In order to avoid this, it really is advised that one should add stabilizer for the fuel and run the engine for approximately ten mins, this prevents the carburetor in form and prevents an overhaul.
A leak higher than the conduit just isn't as lethal together below but this does not mean it's not at all problematic. To identify these you need to inspect the deck hardware, the windows and portals for almost any leaks or possible cracks. Tighten the bolts and screws or simply tighten them anew just to be sure.
Unfortunately, it is inevitable for boats to age. In addition to possibly losing its exterior luster, some of your boat parts will degrade and need replacement. If you are planning to list your boats for sale, make sure you replace broken down parts. Use parts approved by the manufacturer and steer clear of using cheaper substitutes.
Regular maintenance You ought to make positive changes to oil every now and then, wash the boat after and get rid of the engine after every use. With a nice windy day, open the windows and air the boat to prevent accumulated moisture and corrosion.
New Hope Marine has everything you need before taking a trip onto the lake including boating parts or boating sales. Not merely equipped with a huge surplus of boating supplies but in addition a powerful friendly staff New Hope Marine happens when to boat, in Charlotte and beyond.

Theatre & Virtual Reality: Are You Ready?
By ActUpNorth | News
If you've been enjoying acting classes in Leeds with a view to one day being involved with the stage, whether it's in a lead role or perhaps behind the scenes as a director perhaps, you might want to think about how you can upskill with regards to virtual reality (VR) as well.
There's a growing trend for the use of technology in theatre so even if you don't end up using your new skills, having an idea of how the industry is changing and becoming more innovative in this regard could certainly prove to be beneficial.
A new immersive lab has just opened up in Brighton, for example, that will allow theatre companies to experiment with VR. It's being run by Digital Catapult, which has plans in place to open up a network of labs around the UK that will be available to businesses of all sizes.
"The UK has a rich heritage in sectors where immersive technologies are likely to have the largest and most immediate impact: the creative industries, manufacturing and health. So, establishing immersive labs in key regions across the country like this one in Brighton will further benefit the development of the industry," head of immersive at Digital Catapult Aurelian Simon was quoted by The Stage as saying.
As an example of VR in action in theatre, take a look at this article also on The Stage website detailing how theatre-goers used VR headsets as part of a companion piece to an adaptation of Paul Auster's City of Glass.
Apparently, the headsets were used to help people establish a deeper connection with the characters in the play and encourage them to really be intrigued by the play itself.
4 Benefits Of Acting Classes In Liverpool
There are lots of different reasons that people decide to sign themselves up for acting classes in Liverpool and elsewhere – and it's not always because they're keen to see their name in lights as they tread the boards each night. Here are just a couple of benefits – aside from stardom – that might encourage you to take a few acting lessons yourself.
Boost your communication skills
You'll become a lot more confident in your communication skills if you have a few lessons with an experienced acting coach. They can teach you how best to enunciate your words, how to add meaning to what you're saying through new tones of voice and lots more. You may not recognise yourself after a couple of classes!
Improve your self-confidence
It can take quite a lot of strength to get up in front of people and start speaking all by yourself. Public speaking is something a lot of people do struggle with but acting classes can really help you become more confident in yourself. This will cross over to the rest of your life and will certainly help yield positive results in other areas.
Improve your poise and posture
Actors become incredibly self-aware after a while and you'll soon start to notice your posture and areas that need improvement. Acting isn't just standing there and reciting lines – it's also about body movement and expression in other ways.
Thinking on your feet
You're sure to do lots of improvisation in your acting classes and this can help you think more creatively and in a more flexible way… skills you could certainly use elsewhere in your life as well.
