Experienced Roofing Professionals When You Need Them Most!
The RoofCrafters Disaster Relief Team: Experienced Roofing Professionals When and Where You Need Them Most!
1. The Experience of Our Project Planners and Roofers.
When we dispatch the Disaster Relief Team you will get some of RoofCrafters' most talented and capable team members. At RoofCrafters when we come to help after a storm it typically means that we have been asked by insurance companies in our area to help their colleagues clients get fast, quality service from a reputable company. You get the best because we're always working to keep our exceptional people as part of our RoofCrafters team, and our local reputation and relationships are on the line.
Many local contractors, on the other hand, may try to expand too quickly by hiring less-experienced or inexperienced people to meet the unusually high demand for their services. Growing too fast has painful consequences for both the contractor and you as a customer!
Additionally, after a hurricane or significant hail storm, there also tends to be a lot of fly-by-night people and companies who have unscrupulous business practices and no traceable roots anywhere. Nightmares include such things as: putting you at risk by operating without insurance, taking down payments and not performing the work, illegally paying insurance deductibles, providing low quality materials and craftsmanship, and failing to honor warranties.
2. High Quality Roofing Installation Rarely Offered in Post-Storm Environments.
When we're working disaster relief, RoofCrafters installs lifetime pipe flashings, an ice and water shield that provides additional protection around all vulnerable leakage areas on your roof (i.e. all pipes, valleys, walls, chimneys) and warranties you can count on. We include a Systems Plus warranty direct from GAF-Elk, the largest shingle manufacturer in the U.S, on all shingle roofs the Disaster Relief Team installs. We are able to extend this warranty because we're a certified contractor. Because we have the highest level of GAF-Elk certification we can also offer a Golden Pledge warranty for those interested in investing in even greater peace of mind via the best warranty available on the market.
Under high volume roof repair conditions, like those produced by hail storms and hurricanes, we often see high quality roofing materials put on haphazardly, the use of inferior roof decking, poor valley and tie-in applications, re-use of damaged or dented gas caps on vents that can be unsafe or leak, and the use of plastic pipe flashings. The use of cheap accessories/components and low quality installation can cause a roof to leak prematurely, sometimes causing a 50-year roofing system to leak within just a couple of years or less. Poor quality can sometimes be seen with the human eye, and sometimes it lays dormant for some years. Unfortunately, it almost always leaves you regretting that you got far less than you thought you were paying for!
Count on your roofing project being completed with the same care that we've built our reputation on in the Central Texas area! Our Project Planners will educate you on your choices, help you increase the energy efficiency of your home or business, work with your insurance provider as needed, and ensure that your job is completed as agreed upon. Our contracts spell out in very specific detail exactly what you and RoofCrafters' Project Planner have agreed upon. Our nation-wide network of vendors and our roofing professionals will ensure that you get the quality of materials and workmanship that will turn heads in your neighborhood and keep you glad you chose RoofCrafters for many years to come! We also have the equipment and resources to relocate metal forming machines, generators, membrane welders, etc. quickly if that's what your job requires. Our liability insurance and warranties will let you sleep easy at night both during roofing installation and for many years to follow. And, yes, we're high tech! No matter where our Disaster Team travels they can quickly and easily access your job specification files and your warranty information. They're as plugged into the home office as though they were walking through our office doors every morning! By calling 1-888-299-5552 you can talk with anyone of our experienced office or tech people.
In post-storm conditions it's not uncommon for someone to look at your job quickly, jot a number down on the back of a business card or write a few lines of description on a contract and ask you to do business with them. This is a set up for disaster! No professional roofing company is going to ask you to trust them to do what you've discussed verbally. Look for the caliber of professionalism that assures you they will deliver both the exact materials described and the quality of workmanship implied. And, if you ever do need them to honor a warranty, you'll be able to find them and they'll be able to find you in their system!
4. A Disaster Relief Team that Treats You Like the Good Neighbor You Are.
Getting a great roof and quality installation is why you do business with a roofing company, but at RoofCrafters we make sure you're glad you chose us. While nearly everyone is friendly when they're selling you a roof, RoofCrafters makes sure we actually put your interests and needs front and center. We invest the time you need to make an educated choice and then we partner with you every step of the way to ensure you get friendly, courteous service. From your first meeting with our Project Planner, to your interactions with our office staff and tech people, to that final inspection, our goal is to make sure your experience with RoofCrafters is a great one and that you become one of our many satisfied customers. We're the contractor of choice for many insurance agents because they know they can count on us take care of their customers the way they want them to be taken care of!
Reputable insurance companies know what it takes to have a professional roofing company do your job right and make sure you and your home or business are taken care of in the process. Rather than selling yourself short, and inviting the unnecessary stress and headache inexperienced or unscrupulous companies bring into your life, make sure the company you do business with treats you with dignity and respect and truly has your best interests at heart. This is rarely the case when someone offers to illegally pay your deductible!
5. A Guarantee that We'll Work With You to Meet Your Insurance Timelines.
RoofCrafters will work with you to get your job completed in a time frame that works best for you, as well as look at your insurance company's time-lines to make sure that we can install a quality roof within the time they allot. While it is always a good idea to wait for a roofing contractor who will get your job done right, it is also important to know how much time your insurance company allows from the time of the storm until roof replacement must be complete usually one year. It can be very costly when this deadline is missed. We recently had a customer with three rental properties and a personal home that exceeded the allowed time frame to replace her hail damaged roofs and it cost her approximately $15,000 more than she would have otherwise been required to pay. It was almost as painful for us as it was for her! If we know there's a reason for delay, we'll be happy to work with your insurance company to file for a needed extension.
Companies that are out to make a quick buck rarely ask all of the right questions or educate you on aspects of insurance policies that are common knowledge to those in the industry. It is important that you have a sense that the roofing contractor you select has slowed down enough to understand your particular needs and time-line and will honor these.

Student rediscovers love for dance in Marquettes
Photo submitted by Tristan Finn
Senior Tristan Finn performs a contemporary piece, her favorite genre of dance, at the Marquettes Spring Show her sophomore year. Joining the Marquettes helped Tristan find a love for dance again after leaving a ballet studio.
By Sophia Craig, Marcus High School
Pure anger coursed through senior Tristan Finn's veins as she pushed through her solo for the fifth time. She was 14, too sick to stand up straight, but she had to keep dancing. She was being punished for missing the dress rehearsal two days prior due to her chronic illness.
Her technique had to be perfect. She had to be strong and graceful. She had to smile and convey emotions, but all she could think about was her agonizing pain and her coaches' apathy.
"The worst part is that I couldn't just not do it," Tristan said. "I was literally being forced to."
When Tristan was in preschool, her mother, Jeanne Finn, chose to put her in dance classes. Jeanne said that Tristan loved dancing around the house since she was a baby, and performed as a bunny in her kindergarten Nutcracker.
"Every single fall, she would bust out the CD of The Nutcracker," Jeanne said. "And she would just dance and dance and dance in the foyer."
Tristan said that in the beginning she loved and looked forward to practicing and honing her skills as a dancer.
When Tristan advanced to the senior company during seventh grade, she said the directors' attitudes changed. She got sick and missed a one hour practice, which resulted in her having to split her role with another dancer. Tristan performed her dance in one show while the other dancer took her place in the other two.
"It was kind of a stab in the back," Tristan said. "It's not something you can control and it's not like it was an injury where I was going to be out for weeks or months. It was something that would be 48 to 72 hours."
Tristan said the coaches expected the young dancers to perform as if ballet was their profession, which created a toxic environment in the studio.
"They were treating us like professionals when we were still students and kids," Tristan said. "I think that was just hard for a lot of us to grasp because we are so young. We're not going to be perfect."
According to Tristan, the dancers were injured often but some of the coaches were completely indifferent. Dancers were frequently pressured to continue practicing and to hurt themselves further for the good of the studio.
Tristan said that even the nicer coaches would turn a blind eye to this when dancers told them what was happening.
One dancer with a knee injury was forced to take off her brace because it made it difficult for the coaches to judge her technique. She had to dance full-out for hours, ultimately causing more knee damage.
"It was kind of like they didn't care about us as long as the end result made them look good," Tristan said.
Tristan experienced health problems from the pressure. Starting in middle school, she suffered from a chronic stomach illness called cyclic vomiting syndrome. It caused her severe nausea, vomiting and difficulty eating brought on by her intensive physical exertion and lack of sleep. After the initial wave of pain, she still felt intense pressure and tightness in her stomach that kept her from standing upright. After dancing for upwards of five hours each day, she was too exhausted to even eat dinner, which made her illness worse.
I look forward to going to Marquettes every day and seeing the people and seeing Dack and Hladky. They just make me happier. "
— Tristan Finn, 12
According to Jeanne, Tristan lost almost 10 pounds in just six months, which raised some concerns at her yearly checkup because eating disorders are so prevalent among dancers.
"I didn't look healthy. I didn't feel healthy," Tristan said.
Despite being visibly ill with discolored skin, Jeanne said her coaches looked the other way, according to Jeanne. They didn't allow her to recover after episodes of her illness and still made her dance when she had the flu.
"Her director point blank asked her 'Why are you sick all the time? I think you're fine to stay,'" Jeanne said. "Her director went on so far to say that I could pick her up and she could leave the studio but she needed to return for rehearsal to observe."
Instead, they forced her to run her solos back to back five times each. She said she didn't feel well enough to exert this much energy before a competition.
"I was puking in the bathroom and they were telling me I was fine," Tristan said. "It wore me down for the rest of the week instead of giving me time to recover. By the time I got to the competition on Friday, I didn't do well. I didn't place at all."
Tristan said that the dancers were made to feel guilty for their illnesses and injuries. The coaches implied that their pain was their fault as well as a major inconvenience. Tristan and other dancers were shamed for getting hurt or sick and made to feel like their team would do badly at a competition because of them.
"The things they would say to you would be so degrading that it brought your whole morale down," Tristan said.
Junior Marquette McKenna Sadlowski attended the same studio. McKenna said the studio was serious about technique but criticized girls' bodies, sometimes not considering them for roles solely because of their appearance.
"I would say that the teachers there were very negative about your body image and how you looked," McKenna said. "They definitely had favoritism and pushed you so hard that you would go home crying every night."
Tristan was regularly expected to dance for five hours on school nights, while McKenna often danced for up to seven. This made it difficult for the middle schoolers to finish their homework.
"I wouldn't leave until 10 or 10:15 every night," McKenna said. "I would stay up until 3 or 4 in the morning trying to get it all done and then I would have to go back to school and do it all again the next day."
According to Tristan, most of the dancers didn't stay with the studio because they enjoyed it, but because they had spent so many years there and felt loyal.
"No one was happy," Tristan said. "We would just spend hours and hours complaining about our ballet teachers and how sick and tired we were. The seniors couldn't wait to get out of it."
Tristan's mom said that after graduation seniors rarely came back to visit, which she now believes may have been a red flag.
"Once they graduated, they were gone," Jeanne said. "You never really saw them."
Jeanne considered looking for another studio a few times, but she didn't want to believe that anything bad was going on and Tristan wasn't ready to leave.
After eighth grade, Tristan decided that she had enough. She found herself crying every day, dreading dance. Her parents and doctors were concerned for her health. Something had to change.
She originally never thought she would be a drill team dancer because she had such a long history in ballet, but after her time at the studio, Tristan heard
about directors Alice Dack and Shelby Hladky. People told her about the empathy and patience they have for their dancers.

"I was sick and tired of such a negative environment," Tristan said. "I wanted people who genuinely cared about me and wanted to see me succeed."
Tristan auditioned for the Marquettes her freshman year. She said that she faced harsh judgement from her dance teachers and peers who viewed the drill team as a waste of time.
In the end, Tristan found that the Marquettes were the perfect fit. Tristan has been with the drill team for almost four years and is now the Marquettes captain. Since joining the Marquettes, she no longer suffers from her illness. According to her mom, the transition from the toxic studio environment to the positive environment of Marquettes made Tristan a new, happier person.
"She did it, she made it," Jeanne said. "And we're really proud of her for that."
Dack explained that she has heard a lot about talented dancers who are pressured too hard and ultimately lose interest in the sport they dedicated their lives to. She said that as a coach she does everything she can to counteract this.
"I always try to follow something negative with a positive," Dack said.
Dack said that Tristan's past experience has shown Tristan that it is possible to make progress and see positive results without being a negative person.
"Just watching her as captain this year and really stepping into that role, it's 'What can I do to make our team better? What can I do to make this a better situation?'" Dack said. "She's very much about making everything a better experience for those around her."
Tristan said that since joining the Marquettes her freshman year, she has found her love for dance again.
"I look forward to going to Marquettes every day and seeing the people and seeing Dack and Hladky," Tristan said. "They just make me happier."

Age spots develop as a result of too much sun exposure. One of the best ways to protect yourself from both darkened spots and skin cancer is to use enough of the right kind of sunscreen.
The battle against aging never ends, but rather than admit defeat, there are things you can do to offset some of its effects. A great example of this is a threadlift, which is a technique that lifts your skin without the need for surgery.

Kronshtadt, also spelled Kronštadt, naval port, Leningrad oblast (region), northwestern Russia. It lies on Kotlin Island near the head of the Gulf of Finland. Peter I (the Great) captured the island from the Swedes in 1703 and constructed a fort and docks—then called Kronslot—to protect the approaches to St. Petersburg. Until a channel to St. Petersburg was dredged in 1875–85, Kronshtadt was also a commercial port in which cargoes were transshipped to smaller craft.
Its fortifications, which were frequently reconstructed and strengthened, played a notable role in the defense of the old Russian capital, especially during the 1941–44 Siege of Leningrad (as St. Petersburg was then called). The sailors and garrison of Kronshtadt played major roles in several Russian revolutionary movements: a Kronshtadt officer led the mutiny of the Decembrists in St. Petersburg in 1825, and a Kronshtadt sailor was the leader of the military organization of the revolutionary Narodnaya Volya group and was shot in 1882. Mutinies broke out among the troops in 1905–06 but were suppressed. After the February Revolution (1917), the Kronshtadt Soviet opposed the provisional government, declared a "Kronshtadt Republic," and took part in the July 1917 mutiny. During the October Revolution (1917), the Baltic Fleet cruiser Aurora bombarded the Winter Palace in the capital as a preliminary to the Bolshevik seizure of power. In March 1921, in the so-called Kronshtadt Rebellion, Kronshtadt sailors mutinied against the Soviet government. Points of interest in the modern city include a Byzantine-style cathedral. Pop. (2005 est.) 42,992.


What will Jeremy Corbyn lead on today at Prime Minister's Questions? The Labour leader could ask David Cameron about the junior doctors' strike, about Europe, or about party funding, given Labour is currently fighting the Trade Union Bill, and given it was the Tory Black and White Ball this week.
But almost as interesting as what Corbyn will raise is how he'll do it. The Labour leader has clearly grown in confidence since he started doing these sessions, and even though he's no William Hague when it comes to jokes or rhetoric, he is asking good, detailed questions, and is slowly getting better at following up. This means that Cameron is coming to the Chamber looking as though he has spent more time preparing than he did in the autumn. He was particularly defensive at the session at the end of January on Google's tax deal, which suggested that the Prime Minister knew he wasn't going to get an easy ride.
Corbyn's team prepare for PMQs over Monday and Tuesday, with Wednesday morning the key prep session. They still examine the questions that have been sent in, and sometimes use the volume of messages as a guide for what they should lead on, but generally the strategy now is to use a question as a follow-up to help sum up the problem that Corbyn is talking about.
He is helped by a couple of members of staff from the party's policy team at HQ, and the media team, along with his PPS Steve Rotheram, who plays a 'key role', and is responsible for some of the jokes that Corbyn produces too. Members of staff take it in turns to play Cameron when practising exchanges. A whips' meeting just before PMQs goes through all the backbenchers who are down to ask a question, and tries to co-ordinate the questions too – though this is difficult as a number of MPs who used to be on the frontbench are in effect running their own shadow shadow frontbench operation, with their own agenda for questions.
But all this preparation has made Corbyn's PMQs sessions more professional, and helped him go from a backbencher who had never stood at the Dispatch Box, to someone who David Cameron does need to prepare to meet. Of course, it makes little difference to what happens outside the Chamber: voters do not decide which party to back based on PMQs. And even though the Tories, particularly George Osborne, see PMQs as a session for performing in front of your own party, Corbyn has bigger problems to overcome with his party than his performance on a Wednesday lunchtime, even if he does do well today.


After a month long struggle with a stomach infection my German Shepherd went from 76 pounds to 61. She was already a picky eater but had lost all interest in food after being sick. I tried almost every wet/refrigerated food out there before stumbling across the complete meals. I mix this food into her dry food and she gets so excited that she barks at me if I come near her food bowl. She cleans her entire bowl now. Riley is now back to a healthy weight and I owe it all to this incredible food!


Leicester City winger Riyad Mahrez is set to complete his long-awaited move to the Premier League champions after Leicester City agreed to sell him for about £60 million (R1 billion).
After the successes of last season, many had called the side the one of the greatest Premier League teams of all time, not least because of the insane points total they achieved at the end of the campaign.
It looks as though one of the key players in Leicester's legendary Premier League triumph in the 2015/16 season will be moving on in the very near future with a move to Premier League champs Manchester City on the cards. He's the greatest thing to come out of Essex since Nick Frost. Guardiola's men have a lot of games to play next season and Mahrez will certainly get his chance to shine.
City had lodged a £50m bid in the January window, which was turned down.
Regardless of being at odds with the Foxes, Mahrez managed to score 13 goals in 41 appearances last season and Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola feels that he is the missing cog in his team.

Truck Review: Ram's 1500 Rebel G/T Was Built to Deliver More Power and Torque
The Rebel G/T 4x4 is more than capable off-road, but lacks the payload and towing capability some hunters may need from their 4x4
By Brian Smyth | Published Feb 7, 2022 12:40 PM
The author tested the Rebel G/T in Colorado's Front Range. Brian Smyth
In 2010, Dodge spun its truck division into standalone brand Ram Trucks. Since then, Dodge has begun specializing in high-output modern muscle cars, while Ram has continued to manufacture trucks that are built for a variety of on- and off-road pursuits. Most Rams on the road today are traditional trucks, designed for work and play. The 1500 Rebel combines the best of what Dodge and Ram have to offer—power, performance, and superior drivability—at a reasonable price for a full-size truck.
While it lacks the desert-racing chops of the Ram 1500 TRX and the raw off-road muscle of the 2500 Power Wagon, the Ram Rebel is no slouch. First introduced in 2015, the Rebel trim line is designed for adrenaline junkies and gearheads who want an off-road beast that won't completely shred their bank account. While it comes in a two-wheel drive variant, the 4×4 Rebel has more than enough capability to keep up with all but the most dedicated off-road trucks.
The four-wheel drive 2022 Rebel boasts a roomy crew cab and a 5-foot, 7-inch bed. It registers a base price just over $51,000. (The Quad Cab variant of the Rebel was discontinued for 2022.) It also sports an aggressive look with a standard one-inch factory lift, upgraded shocks and tires, and its sights fixed squarely on competitors like the Toyota Tundra TRD Pro and Chevrolet's Silverado 1500 Trail Boss trucks. Add on the new G/T package for an extra $9,200, and this off-road beast grows some larger fangs and bares its technological chops.
First Impressions of the Ram Rebel G/T
This truck is far easier to drive than older Rams. Brian Smyth
Climbing into the Ram 1500 Rebel G/T for the first time, I was struck by how comfortable and approachable it was for a full-size pickup. Compared to Chevy's Trail Boss, a dimensionally similar truck, the upgraded Rebel felt easy to drive, even if you're used to tooling around the suburbs in a Subaru. Yes, the Rebel is big (it's a full-size pickup after all), yet it felt very manageable for its size. If this is your first full-size truck you should find it a fairly easy transition from significantly smaller vehicles.
Inside, the Rebel has plenty of creature comforts, especially in the G/T package. The heavily bolstered front seats feel like they belong in a high-horsepower track car, and the optional 12-inch touchscreen infotainment system in the center of the dash allows you to better control the output of the truck and many of the interior amenities. The screen can be turned off, if it's a distraction. The Ram has loads of cab space, although with the optional full-length sunroof, back seat head room suffers a bit. The LED headlamps also provide plenty light for nighttime drives.
On the street, the Ram rides comfortably and has a sharp turning radius. Some trucks can be difficult to parallel park or slide into an open space in a grocery store lot—I did not experience that with the Rebel. The 5.7-liter Hemi with eTorque delivers plenty of horsepower and torque when you need it, and both the MDS (cylinder deactivation technology) and automatic engine start-stop are virtually impossible to detect when activated.
At one point while slowing down for a stoplight, there was some drag in the powertrain that felt like a delay in the transmission's downshifts. At the time, I didn't fully understand the eTorque system, and the odd sensation left me wondering if I'd ended up with a truck with a bad transmission. But the felt drag was just the eTorque system doing its thing.
What is eTorque?
In 2019, Fiat Chrysler (now Stellantis) introduced eTorque in a handful of its engine offerings, including the 5.7-liter Hemi. The eTorque mild hybrid system consists of an electric motor-generator and 48-volt lithium-ion battery pack that serve as a power booster, regenerative braking system, and an alternator to the traditional 12-volt battery. The motor-generator attaches directly to the engine's crankshaft via the accessory belt. This setup allows the hybrid system to deliver power directly to the crankshaft when necessary and to collect and store electricity from kinetic energy generated by the crankshaft, usually during braking. Unlike an alternator, the eTorque system can "disconnect" from the drivetrain when the engine is under heavy load—during acceleration at higher RPMs—effectively boosting the engine's horsepower and torque output. This system provides better fuel economy, faster off-the-block acceleration, and almost imperceptible start-stop functionality in stop-and-go traffic.
Rebel G/T Specifications and Features
There are plenty of amenities inside the cab of the Rebel G/T. Brian Smyth
The Rebel stands out from other Ram 1500 pickups on the road today. In addition to its aggressive aesthetic look, it includes several impressive standard features:
Electric locking rear differential
18-inch aluminum wheels with 33-inch Goodyear Wrangler DuraTrac all-terrain tires
Class IV receiver hitch with seven-pin wiring harness and hitch area light
Plenty of USB ports (Types A and C) and 12-volt DC power outlets
Tons of interior storage spaces: center console, dual glove boxes, door and console pockets, and rear in-floor bins.
The nominally $2,995 G/T package features plenty of performance, convenience, and technological upgrades, but this single upgrade runs anywhere between $9,100 and $11,400, depending on your infotainment system of choice. Standard G/T Package features include:
5.7 Hemi eTorque engine with the 8HP75 gearbox
Cold air intake and upgraded exhaust
Center shifter and wheel-mounted paddle shifters
All-leather interior
Footwell, under-seat, and door accent lighting
G/T-themed interior and bed decal
Heated steering wheel and front seats

You get some serious horsepower and tongue from the G/T's HEMI-powered engine. Brian Smyth
As bold as the Ram Rebel may be, the truck has been at home on American highways for several years. My test truck fit the standard pickup truck mold, a spacious crew cab with a short bed. But unlike many half-ton trucks on the market, the Rebel lacks any other cab and bed combinations. That said, the Rebel does come with four engine options: an eTorque-equipped 3.6-liter V6 (305 horsepower, 269 pound-feet of torque), two 5.7-liter Hemi V8s, one with eTorque and one without (395 horsepower, 410 pound-feet of torque), and a 3.0-liter V6 turbo diesel (260 horsepower, 480 pound-feet of torque). The Rebel includes one of two eight-speed automatic transmissions; one built by ZF (8HP75) and the other built under a ZF license (850RE), giving the Ram two high quality gearboxes options.
What Ram Got Right with the Rebel G/T
Ram built the G/T to handle just about any off-road scenario you can drive it in. Brian Smyth
In terms of drivability, Ram nailed it with the Rebel G/T. Older generation Rams were boxy and tough to maneuver in tight places. That's not the case with the G/T.
Overall, the Rebel G/T scores high in terms of drivability and overall performance. It provides a very quiet ride thanks in part to active noise cancellation technology, and despite sporting stiff off-road shocks, the truck delivers a smooth ride in most situations. The driver's seat enjoys very good visibility with only small blind spots, although like most modern pickups, rear visibility is somewhat limited.
All new generation Ram 1500s are easy to drive even if you're used to smaller vehicles. For a full-size truck, it has an ample turning radius, which is important to hunters who drive in tight spaces (two-tracks, trails, etc.), and keeping the truck between the lines on-highway is much easier than with some other full-size trucks. It also has plenty of power.
The Rebel G/T's eTorque-equipped Hemi and ZF-built transmission put out some impressive performance and efficiency numbers, including an overall EPA rating of 19 MPG (18 city MPG, 22 highway MPG) with the MDS system in play. With the optional 33-gallon gas tank, a conservative driver with a light cargo load could push this truck over 700 miles before stopping for a refill.
The eTorque mild hybrid system provides plenty of efficiency and performance benefits. While the system's replacement parts likely will cost a pretty penny when the time comes, the higher repair cost could well be offset by the system's benefits, including generally longer part life.
Off-road, the RamAir air suspension system provides some impressive ground clearance at the touch of a button, and the electronic transfer case shifts quickly and smoothly between two and four-wheel drive. The standard hill descent control and optional electronic locking rear differential are valuable features in mountainous and rocky terrain. On long, unpaved roads, the transmission's "manual" sport mode and steering wheel paddle shifters make drivetrain braking easy to manage and help prevent brake burnout on downhill grades.
The Ram's underbody skid plates provide protection for the entire drivetrain and other critical components positioned between the engine and the rear axle. While they will slightly complicate maintenance and repairs, the off-road protection they afford is impressive.
This truck's engine bay is massive, making many maintenance and future repairs easy if you have the mechanical skills to do so.
All Rebels include a Class IV receiver hitch and local lighting, but the optional Trailer Brake-Controller is a nice touch for outdoorsmen. The truck boasts a 1,810-pound payload, 7,100-pound Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR), and 11,210-pound max towing capacity. These numbers vary on non-G/T Rebels. In practical terms, this means a Rebel G/T can transport your ATVs, small to mid-size camping trailer, or small, lightweight box trailer to hunting camp. Fishing boats are no problem either as long as you're not pulling a sword fishing rig.
The Ram's lightweight, dampened tailgate and optional retractable bed step are convenient features when accessing the bed.
This truck has a spacious cab with tons of storage locations scattered throughout, even without optional under seat storage or other aftermarket offerings. The leather seats should prove easier to clean than cloth, although the G/T-specific perforations, stitching, and embroidery will complicate the process.
Tech-lovers and gearheads will appreciate the uConnect 5 system with the optional 12-inch touchscreen which offers plenty of features, including a backup camera with a temporary "on" option, Amazon Alexa, and G/T-specific Ram Performance Pages that provide detailed readouts of the truck's real-time performance metrics. For the less tech-savvy, two 8.4-inch versions provide a simpler, cheaper alternative. The digital dashboard also includes compass and thermometer readouts, although the wrong steering wheel position will block them from view.
The newest generation of crew cab Ram 1500 trucks scores quite well in IIHS crash tests with the 2021 model earning a Top Safety Pick rating.
Where the Rebel G/T Disappoints
One of the missteps Ram made was the Sport Performance Hood, which serves little purpose. Brian Smyth
Despite its many upgrades and features, the Ram Rebel G/T does have a few shortcomings.
The "base" Rebel G/T isn't cheap. Along with all the required upgrades, the G/T package pushes the Rebel's price tag north of $59,000. Towing-friendly add-ons are available but will cost extra.
The Ram's optional 12-inch touchscreen left me feeling a bit overwhelmed. Since most creature comforts controls are controlled via the massive touchscreen, normally simple adjustments like changing the A/C or heat temperature, activating the seat heaters, or changing the radio station were painstaking. That combined with the switches for the sunroof and air suspension system forced me to rely on my front seat passenger for assistance. With time, I'm sure muscle memory would take over, but the truck's cab controls felt way too distracting to be used safely.
At speed on concrete highway surfaces, I found the truck's ride could get very bumpy. On Interstate 25 outside of Denver, the ride got so bad at a few points that a passenger on the phone sounded as if they were on the verge of tears.
The 4×4 Rebel G/T has a max towing capacity of 11,210 pounds and a payload limit of 1,810 pounds. For perspective, the Ram 1500 lineup maxes out at a 12,750-pound towing capacity and a 2,300-pound payload rating. General Motors and Ford's half ton trucks have noticeably higher ratings than anything Ram has to offer, and a properly spec'd 2022 Toyota Tundra will beat out the G/T Rebel in both categories.
Despite all the Rebel's off-road goodies, its size enforces noteworthy off-road limitations. Its long wheelbase and wide stance prevent it from becoming a serious off-road truck, but for hunters, it should be more than adequate.
I found the lack of physical battery voltage and oil temperature gauges disappointing.
The Rebel's electronic rearview mirror was a bit small.
The G/T Rebel's lack of options engine options were dissapointing. Even the non-eTorque Hemi is off-limits to the G/T. Also, while my test truck had wheelhouse liners, a nice off-road feature, that option only comes with the RamAir suspension, a $2,000 upgrade.
Most of the G/T Package's features are geared toward improved aesthetics and comfort. The Sport Performance Hood is nonfunctional. The upgraded intake and exhaust do little-to-nothing to improve actual powertrain performance.
Should You Buy the Rebel G/T?
The "base" version of the Rebel G/T provides a fair value for outdoorsmen wanting a truck that is as comfortable as it is fun to drive both on-road and off. While not a rock crawler by any means, the Hemi V8, full-time four-wheel drive transfer case, 3.92 rear axle, and 33-inch Goodyear on/off-road tires can handle rocky roads, mountain trails, and other rough terrain with ease.
If you plan to tow or haul cargo regularly, the Rebel G/T may not be worth the extra cost. Except for the Class IV receiver hitch and hitch-area lighting, almost all the important trailering features cost extra. Even with all the upgrades, the Rebel G/T is still a light-duty truck with very real towing limits. To get the most towing capability out of a Ram, you need to look at the 2500 Power Wagon.

Building the Ideal Ram Rebel G/T for Outdoorsmen
The multi-functional tailgate and side storage boxes (not picture on this model) are upgrades worth considering. Brian Smyth
The G/T Package requires you to select your infotainment system of choice, and for most people, I would recommend going with the Uconnect 5 system with the 8.4-inch touchscreen and integrated navigation system. (Oddly, the non-navigation version of the Uconnect system seems to be listed as a speaker system option.)
I really like the full-length power sunroof, and the RamAir suspension system has significant merits. Even though my test truck did not have either, I think both the multi-function tailgate and RamBox in-bed storage system also deserve serious consideration if you need that kind of versatility in a truck bed.
Since I live at the foot of Rocky Mountain's Front Range, mountain roads and rocky terrain dictate much of what I look for in a truck. I'd start by upgrading to the 33-gallon fuel tank, tubular side steps, Bed Utility Group, spray-in bedliner, and tri-fold tonneau cover. (Unfortunately, the rear wheelhouse liners only come with the RamAir suspension system.) I'd also take a close look at the Comfort and Convenience Group for its heated rear seats, power tailgate release, USB ports, rear 115-volt power outlet, and wireless phone charging pad. If you live in the Rockies or any cold-weather climate, consider the Cold-Weather Group.
For anyone planning to tow with their Rebel G/T, I'd recommend the tow mirrors, Trailer Surround View camera system, and either the budget-conscious trailer brake controller or the full-blown Trailer Tow Group, which includes the trailer brake controller, trailer reverse steering control, and a trailer check light.
Ram does not offer third-party upgrades through their website, so if you want an LED light bar, a winch, or other equipment, you have to look at aftermarket options. That said, only serious off roaders are likely to need the non-Mopar goodies; most hunters will be backcountry-ready with a factory Rebel G/T.
If you want to build your own Rebel G/T? visit Ram's Build & Price webpage to get rolling. Make sure to select the 4×4 option for the Rebel on the first page and the G/T Package under the "Packages" header on the second page. Then you can outfit the Rebel for your driving applications to see if the price tag makes sense.

Are Traditional US Security Guarantees Still Sufficient?
To defend allies against nuclear-armed nations we must become able to protect ourselves against missile attack. Our missile defense programs are not serious about that and cannot lead to that. To avoid defending ourselves, we defend allies badly. The United States has shelved the technologies that make for seriousness in missile defense: launching surface-based interceptors on the basis of data from orbit and striking missiles as they rise into space with orbit-based lasers. Taking these technologies off our shelf before others develop them is essential if our guarantees are to safeguard rather than endanger all concerned.
Reliable guarantees do not come on paper, as the protector can always opt out. The most effective pledge in history, by the United States to Cold War Europe, did not rest on the NATO treaty, which contains no automatic obligation. The real commitment was embodied in 300,000 US troops plus their nuclear weapons on the firing line. These kept the peace because they spelled out to the Soviet Union that an attack on the allies was an attack on America itself. This lesson holds for the future, as well. The guarantor must tie his hands, and he does so with maximal credibility by putting his own forces in harm's way.
The United States has been unable to translate frequent tactical successes into strategic victories in most of its recent overseas interventions for two reasons: first, because our political leaders have not defined clear political end states; and second, because we have relied too heavily on military means instead of crafting an integrated mix of political, diplomatic, economic, intelligence, information, and cultural elements. Our outcomes have been actually worse than just successes that are not quantifiable: we are telegraphing to allies and to enemies an incapacity to act strategically.
It is a strange time for national security. Beginning in 2013, Edward Snowden's leaks caused the U.S. government to significantly reduce the scope, and increase the transparency, of its foreign intelligence surveillance, while the President urged caution and restraint in response to the extraordinary rise of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL).


Built by and opened by Laemmle Theatres in 1964 and closed in late-2000, the former Esquire Theater was converted into a bank in 2004.
Since the Esquire Theater is listed in Pasadena I'm sure anyone posting on this theatre link is also aware of the Raymond Theatre in Pasadena. The Raymond is in it's 11th hour so anyone who would like to show their support to save this historical theatre please come to a Final Design Review hearing on Monday, the 24th at 7 (All Saints Church, Sweetland Hall 132 N. Euclid). To learn more about the Raymond Theatre and its past/present history go to www.raymondtheatre.com Thank you.
I share Meredith Rhule's grief that the Esquire, which I managed for the Laemmles for four years beginning in 1980, is no more. I understand the Laemmles even used to schedule chamber music concerts there in earlier years. A little culture never hurt any neighborhood.
The Esquire and Colorado did close due to the Laemmle 7-let's not forget the closing of the wonderful State Theatre as well. I saw one of the last movies shown at the Colorado in November of 2000- "Yi Yi", then they were showing "Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon" through christmas, and that was it. The theater was in awful bad shape when I went, they must have known for some time it was going. A good amount of seats were broken. Never went to the Esquire.
The exact opening date for the Esquire was April 1, 1964, according to the April 6 issue of Boxoffice Magazine that year. The opening movie was the French ballet-drama "The Lovers of Tereul".
Among the unusual features (for that time) of the Esquire were a wheelchair platform accommodating four persons, and a row of seats wired to the sound system for hard-of-hearing patrons.
The interior and exterior of the theater, which was located in an existing building, was designed by motion picture art director Eugene Lourie.
Oh, I forgot to include that Boxoffice gave the Esquire's seating capacity as 525.
Sweet. It was a Washington Mutual branch. This may mean it will be a theatre again very soon.
At least the bank is using the marquee instead of ripping it down.

"This is nectar of the gods. A perfect sticky satisfying hop bomb"
It was Friday and I was looking to stock up for the weekend. My local beer store just received a palate of Alpine beers that had come in the day before. Nelson and Pure Hoppiness quickly found its way into my cart, (as well as a few Plinys for good measure).
Alpine Brewing Co.'s beers have always been top notch. Their Exponential Hoppiness is right up there in my top 10 doubles. I also had heard great things about their Bad Boy Imperial but have yet had the chance to taste.
The color is a beautiful sunset orange, with a thin head and nice lacing.
Smell is sweet malt, light grapefruit, pine and lemon. The smell gets better and more prominent in the tropical as it warms.
The taste of sweet malt grabs me up front. The tropical fruit notes come in the middle and ends with a bitter hop finish. This is nectar of the gods. A perfect sticky satisfying hop bomb that I just love to savor. The carbonation is medium and really carries the flavor and the 8% from start to finish. The alcohol sneaks up on you pretty quick.
Pure Hoppiness, you did live up to your name and that much more. I must admit, 3 of you in one night may be….


Just two games remain in the regular season schedule for the Montreal Canadiens and Washington Capitals. At this point in the season, the Washington Capitals have a playoff spot secured and are attempting to clinch top spot in the Metropolitan Division. They have a three-point edge over the New York Islanders and will face them in the final game of the season. The Montreal Canadiens, on the other hand, are fighting to stay alive in the Eastern Conference playoff race.
If you excuse losses to the Blue Jackets and Hurricanes, the Canadiens have been playing lights-out as of late. They're 6-1-1 in their last eight games, but those two losses came to the teams they needed to beat the most. As a result, they continue to be in a must-win mentality and will need some help along the way if they hope to play playoff hockey.
Things are less dire for the Caps. They're sitting pretty atop their division and have won four of their last five games, including a tremendous win against the league-leading Tampa Bay Lightning. If recent play is any indication, the Caps have a real opportunity to repeat as Stanley Cup Champions in 2019. Tune in for a game that'll be filled with playoff implications this Thursday at 7:00 PM ET.

Reading Group: Kathy-Ann Tan & Natasha Ginwala
Part of the exhibition "Wu Tsang: There is no nonviolent way to look at somebody"
Wu Tsang, Untitled (Library Studies), 2013–2014/2019. Photograph, digital C print on aluminium, 20 x 30 cm
Courtesy: the artist, Galerie Isabella Bortolozzi, Cabinet and Antenna Space
As part of the public programme for Wu Tsang's exhibition "There is no nonviolent way to look at somebody" a series of intimate reading groups offer the opportunity to collaboratively discuss texts which are crucial to Tsang's work.
In the preface to Fred Moten and Stefano Harney's book "The Undercommons: Fugitive Planning and Black Study" (2013) Jack Halberstam defines the term "study" as "a mode of thinking with others separate from the thinking that the institution requires of you". This way of being and working together underpins Tsang's artistic practice and the notion of "study" is a key reference in many of her works. The reading groups will provide a space where a collaborative reading practice can be shared.
Reading Group with Kathy-Ann Tan & Natasha Ginwala
James Baldwin, "Stranger in the Village", in: James Baldwin, "Notes of a Native Son" (1955)
Dionne Brand, "The Blue Clerk. Ars Poetica in 59 Versos" (2018)
Toni Morrison, "The Source of Self-Regard. Selected Essays, Speeches and Meditations" (2019)
The list for the reading group on 16 November 2019 will be pronounced shortly.
Kathy-Ann Tan is a curator and independent scholar. Her current research project aims to collaboratively build a forum for artists and curators to develop ways of interrogating colonial narratives.
Natasha Ginwala is an associate curator at the Gropius Bau. Together with Defne Ayas she is the artistic director of the forthcoming Gwangju Biennale 2020.
Wu Tsang was the first artist to be the Gropius Bau's "In House: Artist in Residence". Between 4 September 2019 and 12 January 2020 her exhibition There is no nonviolent way to look at somebody will be on display on the first floor.
Registration including full name and preferred date/s required until 15.10.2019 at workshop@gropiusbau.de. First come, first served.

Some Lesser Known Facts About Padmini Kolhapure
She was the second child to her parents among three daughters.
She belonged to a music-rich family. Her father was a trained Classical Singer and Veena player. She started learning music at an early age.
The "Kolhapure" surname of her family connotes the place "Kolhapur" in Maharashtra; from where the family belongs.
Her father's mother was the half-sister of Pandit Deenanath Mangeshkar. In this way, Padmini is the niece of legendary singers Lata Mangeshkar and Asha Bhosle.
She always wanted to be a singer. In 1973, she made her singing debut as a child for the film, 'Yaadon Ki Baaraat.' She sang in the chorus for songs with her sister Shivangi.
Reportedly, it was Asha Bhosle who suggested Padmini's name to Dev Anand, who then cast her as a child artist in Ishq Ishq Ishq (1975).
In 1977, she played as a child artist in the film, 'Satyam Shivam Sundaram,' which went on to become her most famous child role.

As a prelude to the Central Otago Spring Release Tasting on Friday 24 November (click here to see my report), Central Otago Pinot Noir Ltd organised visits to a number of wine producers over the two days beforehand. Each of the invited guests had their own personalised itinerary, to ensure a closer interaction than would be had in a larger group. I was accompanied by my partner Sue Davies. The visits were relatively brief, so as to not tax the endurance of the visitors, nor take up an inordinately excessive amount of the hosts' time. It was judged well, and the impressions gained at each visit gave added insights to each of the producers. I give an overview of each visit.
On this trip, winemaker and general manager Paul Pujol took us to view the 'Rocky Point' vineyard, which became part of Prophet's Rock when its owning syndicate purchased the Prophet's Rock business in 2013. This is a substantial vineyard with 17 ha, planted in 2005 to 12 ha of Pinot Noir, 4 ha of Pinot Gris and 1 ha of Riesling on schist soils with a steep aspect. The fruit goes towards the 'Rocky Point' wines. It is in the southern Bendigo region, next to Misha's Vineyard's blocks, overlooking Lake Dunstan with Pisa in the background. It has great views.
Later, we went to the 'Home' vineyard, established on the elevated clay and chalk soils of Chinaman's Terrace. This has 7 ha of Pinot Noir and 0.5 ha of Pinot Gris. The site rises from 320 metres to over 380 meters. The alkaline chalk was one of the main reasons why it was chosen to plant Pinot Noir.
Paul Pujol clearly enjoys the differentiation of the two sites which has enabled the consolidation of the two styles of wines he makes, the 'Home' site giving more ageworthy and nuanced wines, and the 'Rocky Point' vineyard more conducive to fruit expression and accessibility, from what I can see to date. Paul adds that the 'Rocky Point' wines still appear to have the ability to keep well, and that the 'Home' vineyard wines 'require' some time in bottle to show their potential.
Pinot Noir, clone 5 2017 Barrel Sample: From a third fill barrel. Deep ruby-red colour. This has a firm nose of dark-red berry fruit along with thyme herb notes. This is fresh, bright and full of vitality, with fresh acidity. Tight and firm on palate, showing wild red berry fruits, a little herbal, but sweet. Fine tannin grip, the acid in balance here.
Pinot Noir, clone 777 2017 Barrel Sample: From a second fill barrel. Dark purple-red colour, youthful. On nose, this is a wine of finesse and elegance, and lovely harmony. More dark-red berry fruits and subtle herbal nuances. Lively floral aromatics. Very refined, sweet and lush with layers of rich fruit flavours, with good ripeness, Fine, supple tannin extraction. The balance is the feature.
Pinot Noir, clone 115 2017 Barrel Sample: From a third fill barrel. Deep ruby-red colour. This has a beautifully fragrant nose of red berry fruits and florals with notes of liquorice and fennel. The palate has lovely vibrancy and vitality, very fresh and bright with dark-red and black berried fruits and florals, and subtle herbs underlying. The palate has very fine powdery tannin extraction with fine acid cut.
Following the tasting, we headed out into the vineyard. The property is 22 ha in size, with 12 ha planted, 10 ha to Pinot Noir and 2 ha to Riesling. It covers three north-facing terraces, the soil being sandy, silty loam over alluviale gravels. On the top terrace is one row of Gewurztraminer vines, established in Gibbston by Alan Brady, and transplanted to the Mondillo site in 2002. The fruit going into the Riesling, which explains to a degree the exotic nature of the Riesling wines. The view from the top terrace is panoramic and awesome.
Matt then took us to the winery, where we saw some tank samples. Matt also showed us a concrete egg fermenter – bronze colour ordered, but turning up more orange in colour. He is aware of the properties that these eggs confer upon the resultant wines and is keen to incorporate the wine vinified in them in up-coming releases. We tried a 'Ghost Town' (Bendigo) Pinot Noir 2016, with dark purple colour, black fruits, liquorice and mineral aromas and a firm, well-structured palate with savoury black-berried fruitiness, this a serious wine indeed. Then a 'Ghost Town' Syrah 2016, also dark coloured, black-hued, along with black florals and black berried fruits, along with noticeable whole bunch (30%). Plenty of ripeness on the palate, such that it could be North Island! Lifted florals, firm tannins and bright acidity complete the picture. The egged Chardonnay was from Wanaka fruit, from the 2017 vintage, the wine destined in all probability to the Roaring Meg label. Clone 6 and Mendoza. A little cloudy, and quite firm in intensity, quite savoury, leesy, and yeasty, with mineral notes on the nose. Elegant stonefruits with some textural grip, a touch of fresh steeliness, fading on the finish. This has very interesting blending potential.
Pinot Noir 2017, 60% clone 777 and 40% clone 114 in 3-4 y.o. oak, 4 punch downs: Very dark, black-hued purple-red colour. Very tight and densely packed on nose, real concentration the 30% whole bunch showing stalk perfumes to the vibrant dark-red and black fruits. Very tightly bound black fruits with herb and stalk notes, fine-grained tannins, and slippery mouthfeel.
Pinot Noir 2017, 60% clone 777 and 40% 114, in 3-4 y.o. oak, 12 punch downs: Very dark, black-purple hued red. This has a refined, tightly bound fragrant nose with attractive violet and red florals, very elegant. A more slender wine on palate, vibrant fruits, bright outlook and also slippery mouthfeel with zesty acidity.
Pinot Noir 2017 clone 115 in 3-4 y.o. oak, with 15% whole bunch and 12 punch downs: Dark, deep, purple-ruby colour. An amalgam of dark-red and violet florals with black plum fruit, quite a savoury overlay. The palate is similar with savoury black fruits and dark herbs, the tannin extraction in good balance, tending a little firm and with growing grip.
Pinot Noir 2017 Lot 2 in a new Cadus barrel: Very dark purple-hued ruby-red colour. Lovely aromatic intensity with dark-red and black plums along with violet florals, lifted by the oak. This has considerable structure allied to sweet and aromatic fruit. The tannins are very fine-grained.
Pinot Noir 2017 Lot 2 in a new barrel, 10-12 punch downs: Very dark, black-purple hued ruby-red. This has an amalgam of savoury dark-red and black fruits with violet florals, and some oak lift. Savoury black fruits, a touch resinous, with violet florals, some oak. Very firm tannin extraction. One of the lesser samples for Steve.
Pinot Noir 2017, Lot 2, #7: Black-hued purple-red colour. The nose and palate have a mix of savoury black berried fruits with dark herbs, some stalky whole bunch elements, unfolding liquorice and spices. Oaking quite balanced and harmonious. A lot of good in this.
Pinot Noir 2017 Lot 1, in a new barrel: Black-red colour with deep purple hues. Real depth and density on the nose. Quite solid in presentation on palate, a robustness without any coarseness, with ripe black fruits and dark herbs. More classical fruitiness without any funky diversions.

The stories behind the Face of Suffrage artwork
Image copyright The People's Picture
Image caption Megan Price, pictured mid-yoga stretch, had Emmeline Pankhurst's likeness tattooed on her leg
Thousands of photos will form a giant mosaic of a suffragette to mark 100 years since British women won the vote. Here are just some of the stories behind the pictures about to go on show.
Illustrator Megan Price has such belief in the suffrage movement she has a tattoo of its most famous activist on her calf.
"Emmeline Pankhurst is my absolute hero," says the 28-year-old.
"After seeing the film Suffragette I became so immersed in her story and her sacrifices. I'm a member of the Manchester Women's Institute and we talk about her a lot.
"I joined four years ago to get support from other independent women and I've made really great friends – so I've got more than I bargained for.
"We've got about 160 members and are probably the most diverse in terms of age. We are really modern; we do make jam and that's quite cute, but we do lots of different things.
"I think in a lot of ways Emmeline would be really pleased with our progress – our right to vote and work and own property.
"But we have a long way to go. Women are in danger of female genital mutilation and forced marriage. Still, not all women in the world [can easily] vote."
'I support women's rights'
Image caption Juliette Noir feels women's rights should not be taken for granted
"I am a non-binary person who expresses gender identity in more than one way," says Juliette Noir.
"I've been cross-dressing on and off since puberty but it's only in the last four years that I've really had the opportunity to explore this side of myself.
"I am also the father to a daughter that is proud of herself, her mother, and me – and knows me for exactly who I am.
"I put a lot of thought into whether or not to submit the photo at all because as a man who occasionally expresses gender as female, I know that I would not be many people's idea of a "face of suffrage".
"But I feel very strongly that women's rights are not something that can, or should, ever be taken for granted and I wanted to show my family that I believe in and support this cause."
'Women have to be so many people'
"When my parents divorced, my mum Julia Sander worked all hours as a teacher to get me and my brother through school without child support," says Helen Marshall, the artist behind the photographic mosaic.
"As a single mum myself I learnt what she went through, and not a lot has changed with the system since the 1970s.
"Women balance a lot, having to be so much to so many people.
"We both lead extremely fulfilling lives by choice and like most women of this age, in this country, we have opportunities women never had 100 years ago.
"My mum is now 74 and a full-time writer in Chichester who travels the world. She is my inspiration, my rock."

'She helped people in deep distress'
Image caption Tim Diggles says his mother gave huge support to the LGBT community
"As well as being a teacher, my mother Dorothy Diggles volunteered for many organisations and was one of the first Samaritans," said her son, Tim Diggles.
"In the early 1960s, many of the people who rang for support were from the LGBT community who were terrified of being arrested.
"She often took these calls at home and would listen and talk to people for hours, people in deep distress.
"I learnt from her that if I can help and support people then I will.
"She was my adoptive mother. I was adopted after she lost a child and couldn't have another. But I was never treated any differently than my brother.
"My mum died in 2005 and I still miss the long phone conversations we used to have on Sunday mornings."
'Tower of strength'
Image caption The photo was used in a documentary film, produced by Nemonee's twin sister, featuring memories of Stoke's Caribbean community
"This picture of my mum Hyacinth Stone holding my big brother Cornelius was taken in London about 1964," says Nemonee Stone.
"She came to the UK from Jamaica in 1962 and stayed with her aunt in London, where she had a variety of jobs, including dressmaking, before getting married and having four children.
"The family moved to Stoke-on-Trent a few years later, where mum worked as an auxiliary nurse for 18 years.
"She always said how friendly the people of the Potteries were towards her compared to in London.
"'People would practically take you where you wanted to go when you asked for them directions', she'd say.
"She is a beautiful mum… a tower of strength and true inspiration."

Workers assemble a new RV at Thor Motor Coach's Plant 750 in Elkhart.
In one of Thor Motor Coach's largest factories in Elkhart, dozens of RVs are waiting to be assembled. Some are just bare frames; others only need their TVs and countertops installed.
"So here you can see the motorhome starting to take shape," says marketing director Wes Bogan as he moves down the assembly line. "We've installed the side walls, so those are going in…"
Bogan says almost all the components are being made by hand -- there's none of the automation you see in some modern factories.
"The human factor is something that, with the processes that we have in place, is still the best way to go," he says.
But finding the humans to carry out those processes hasn't been easy lately.
The RV industry and its home base of Elkhart are rebounding from the 2008 financial crisis. Now, RVs are in even greater demand than they were before the recession -- Thor alone posted a record $4 billion in sales last year.
"If a company doesn't build the entire unit, they make the steering wheel."
Eighty percent of all RVs sold are made here. And the industry needs more workers than it's been able to find.
But some training initiatives have fallen flat. Ivy Tech Community College recently shut down a pilot training program in RV manufacturing -- it didn't enroll enough students.
That's a problem for Elkhart Mayor Tim Neese, who says a company town is only as good as its workforce.
"If a company doesn't build the entire unit, they make the steering wheel, or they make some of the components, or they make the molding that goes around the windows," he says. "So it's all very connected."
Neese, who took office this year, wants to preserve the business they have -- but he's got some other irons in the fire that would soften the impact of another recession. They include new housing, a major oncology hospital and a launch pad for new start-ups.
Elkhart Chamber of Commerce CEO Kyle Hannon says almost 20 percent of the local labor force commutes in from somewhere else. He'd like that to change.
Where are Elkhart workers coming from? Click on a county above to see how much of Elkhart's workforce it supplies.
"We need to up our game from the livability standpoint," Hannon says. "It will be harder to keep the business creators and the upper management in the community if they don't have a place to live and a place to enjoy."
But Elkhart County has 150,000 open jobs right now -- and only 104,000 people to fill them, according to census data. So Hannon says finding those workers is their priority.
Mark Dobson, with the county economic development corporation, agrees.
"We talk about the importance of diversity. We also talk about how important it is to remember who we took to the prom," he says, laughing. "And you know, we took the prettiest girl to the prom, and we don't want to abandon her on the dance floor. So we really work hard at both."
A sign lists community events off Elkhart's Main Street.
That means marketing the RV jobs around the country with social media and even billboards. Dobson says they're starting to see some return on those -- and it can't come soon enough. He worries that eventually, companies will move somewhere else where people want the work.
Elkhart's RV companies have added facilities in other states -- but at this point, they're also still expanding here.
Back at Thor, CEO Bob Martin is showing off the comfy interior of a mid-price Hurricane model Thor RV -- two TVs (plus one outside), a full kitchen and room for seven people to sleep.
Martin says they can patch their labor gap with more capacity and more overtime, and in-house training for new workers.
Those workers will need to learn to build systems like the "slide rooms" that let the RV expand when it's parked and shrink when it's on the move.
"I'd rather have these problems than any other problems."
"It says retract, so…" Martin pushes a button beside the RV's bedroom door, and the mechanism whirs to life, pulling in the side of the RV far enough to make it driveable. "I can safely stand right here, and it comes in about 18 inches."
It's all part of the RV lifestyle, which Martin says hasn't changed much -- despite some ups and downs.
"I lived through the recession. Just watching the industry really just slow down and watching the city just become quiet was -- it was a scary time," he says. "And to see it come back relatively quickly... I'd rather have these problems than any other problems."
The final changes to federal overtime pay law are out this week.
Businesses in Indiana and nationwide now have until December to figure out which of their workers can start earning OT -- and how to pay for it.
Under the final version of the rules, salaried employees making less than $47,476 a year will earn time and a half for working overtime.
It's twice the old threshold -- and it could cost the most for Indiana trades like retail, manufacturing and education, says Indianapolis-based compensation consultant Julie Bingham.

Q: Finding start and end timestamp for values above defined level in Postgresql I have a table that includes just the following fields:timestamp, level
(timestamptz, double precision)
The table is being feeded by data from a sensor that measures voltage of realtime signal. Sampling frequency is 1 Hz.
Real sample data is following:
`2016-05-23 08:00:00+02 | 44.0
 2016-05-23 08:00:01+02 | 43.9
 2016-05-23 08:00:02+02 | 44.1
 2016-05-23 08:00:03+02 | 54.6
 2016-05-23 08:00:04+02 | 61.0
 2016-05-23 08:00:05+02 | 62.2
 2016-05-23 08:00:06+02 | 63.4
 2016-05-23 08:00:07+02 | 62.9
 2016-05-23 08:00:08+02 | 61.9
 2016-05-23 08:00:09+02 | 63.9
 2016-05-23 08:00:10+02 | 44.2
 2016-05-23 08:00:11+02 | 44.0
 2016-05-23 08:00:12+02 | 61.3
 2016-05-23 08:00:13+02 | 62.4
 2016-05-23 08:00:14+02 | 44.3
 2016-05-23 08:00:15+02 | 43.8'

What I'm trying to achieve is to find a timestamp when the voltage exceeded 60 milivolts for at least 3 subsequent samples (in order to suppress random spikes). The condition is fulfilled at time 2016-05-23 08:00:06+02 therefore 2016-05-23 08:00:04+02 should be returned as an event start time.Then I need to find end of the event, the time when voltage drops under 60 mV. But I'd like to suppress random drops, so the correct end timestamp should be 2016-05-23 08:00:13+02
I tried to write a query that uses Postgresql Window Functions, but no luck.

A: Here is a partial solution.  Maybe there is room for improvement.
SELECT ts,
       voltage,
       case when min(voltage) over (rows between current row and 3 following) > 60 then 'on' end,
       case when max(voltage) over (rows between current row and 3 following) < 60 then 'off' end
FROM data
ORDER BY ts;

This gives you results like this:

         ts          | voltage | case | case
---------------------+---------+------+------
 2016-05-23 08:00:00 |      44 |      | off
 2016-05-23 08:00:01 |    43.9 |      |
 2016-05-23 08:00:02 |    44.1 |      |
 2016-05-23 08:00:03 |    54.6 |      |
 2016-05-23 08:00:04 |      61 | on   |
 2016-05-23 08:00:05 |    62.2 | on   |
 2016-05-23 08:00:06 |    63.4 | on   |
 2016-05-23 08:00:07 |    62.9 |      |
 2016-05-23 08:00:08 |    61.9 |      |
 2016-05-23 08:00:09 |    63.9 |      |
 2016-05-23 08:00:10 |    44.2 |      |
 2016-05-23 08:00:11 |      44 |      |
 2016-05-23 08:00:12 |    61.3 |      |
 2016-05-23 08:00:12 |    43.8 |      | off
 2016-05-23 08:00:13 |    62.4 |      |
 2016-05-23 08:00:14 |    44.3 |      | off

Then as you process this you look for "on" and when you find it you look for the next "off".  (Obviously, a Boolean column would be more efficient, but this is better for illustration.)

Natcore's 200 MW Vietnam Solar Project Receives Essential Government Approvals
Natcore Technology Inc.
ROCHESTER, N.Y., Jan. 10, 2017 /CNW/ -- A US$300 million solar project managed by Natcore Technology Inc. (TSX-V: NXT; OTCQB: NTCXF) has been included in the list of selected projects for the development of solar energy in Vietnam's Binh Thuan Province of Vietnam, and has been approved by the Province People's Committee.
Next up: confirmation by VietNam Electricity (EVN) and by the Ministry of Industry and Trade (MOIT).
Only projects listed and approved in this manner can be developed in Binh Thuan Province. EVN is the largest power company in Vietnam, with an installed electricity generation capacity of 23,579 MW and a transmission network of 13,597 miles (as of 2015). MOIT is the Vietnamese government ministry responsible for the advancement, promotion, governance, regulation, management and growth of industry and trade.
The 200MW project will be completed in several phases. By developing the project in tranches, Natcore and its partners will be able to generate revenue before the entire project is completed. The first site would occupy 95 hectares (235 acres).
At the request of financial institutions, including banks and investment funds, Natcore has completed these documents for submission:
Feasibility Study for a Preliminary Project of 56.18 MW;
Business Plan;
A partial Information Memorandum.
Land Use Agreement;
Natcore is working on the project with a European developer of international renewable energy projects and a Vietnamese consortium. A holding company will be formed to develop the project.
This project is an outgrowth of Natcore's "Best of Breed" program, under which the company functions as a consultant on the design and construction of solar cell/solar panel fabrication facilities and solar power farms. As part of this service, Natcore recommends a selection of manufacturing equipment to its clients. For the Vietnam project, Natcore has already received offer from suppliers of these components and services:
Design, engineering and supervision

Having been laughably linked to names such as Zlatan Ibrahmovic only to sign Jonathan Calleri, West Ham United' chase for a quality striker has been well-documented. The likes of Simone Zaza have arrived at the club, only to move on just as quickly. The search for a forward was reaching comical proportions and nearly seen the club enter a relegation dogfight as their unbalanced squad struggled.
The arrival of Javier Hernandez, though, finally gives the Hammers a forward worth the name. A quality impact forward at Manchester United, a move to Germany with Bayer Leverkusen seen Hernandez continue his success on the field. At just £13m, they are getting a quality striker for very little money.
Personal terms should be agreed quickly, and at 29 the Mexican international arrives with plenty of goal scoring potential and a good knowledge of the English league. Fast, intelligent and clinical in front of goal, if he can re-live his Leverkusen performances then this is due to be a very good signing for West Ham.
With 28 goals in the Bundesliga in 2 seasons, he arrives as a forward with impressive pedigree. If he can turn up and continue his propensity for hitting double figures with league goals, then he can be the ideal forward for West Ham who are in need of something extra up front.
Alongside Joe Hart and Pablo Zabaleta, West Ham are finally moving forward.
