The start of the Silver Arrow era.
80 years ago Mercedes-Benz reached a milestone in its outstanding motorsport history.
A sublime racing debut.
On 3 June 1934 the Mercedes-Benz Silver Arrows heralded the start of an impressive era. The new W 25 Grand Prix racing car took part in its first ever race – the International "Eifelrennen", or Eifel Race, at Nürburgring – and won. Driver Manfred von Brauchitsch set a new record and played his part in Mercedes-Benz's successful motorsport history. The W 25 from 1934 and its successors earned the designation "Silver Arrow" due to their unmatched speed and signature paint finish of exposed, polished aluminium. These sleek racing cars were to dominate European motorsport until 1939. How did this come about?
In the beginning there was a vision.
In 1933 Mercedes-Benz made the landmark decision to design its own racing car (designated number W 25) according to the 750-kilogram race formula that applied from 1934 and to send it out onto Europe's racetracks. The engineers worked flat out on the concept for what the company hoped would be a winning car of the future. With a slim body, a front-mounted, mechanically supercharged, inline eight-cylinder engine, individual wheel suspension and a transmission mounted directly on the rear axle, the intention was to bring home motorsport titles. The results were impressive and the plan to triumph on the racetrack did not appear to be too ambitious. With an output of 260 kW (354 hp), the car reached top speeds of around 300 km/h in its first season.
A clear goal came into view around Alfred Neubauer who was to lead the W 25's six-strong racing team into pole position. The team also included the drivers Rudolf Caracciola, Luigi Fagioli, Hanns Geier, Ernst Henne and Manfred von Brauchitsch.
The 750-kilogram formula.
In autumn 1932 motorsport's governing body in Paris unveiled a new formula for Grand Prix racing, which took effect two years later: all racing cars were to weigh no more than 750 kilograms excluding fuel, oil, coolant and tyres.
This limit was based on the assumption that only lightweight engines could be installed in lightweight vehicles and that this would therefore limit the racing cars' output and speed. However, the motorsport association underestimated advances in technology. The 750-kilogram formula applied from 1934 to 1937 but during that short time Mercedes-Benz was able to double engine output.
Writing race history.
The new Mercedes-Benz racing car's first major appearance should have been at the Avus race in Berlin. This plan was thwarted by technical problems. That is why the W 25 made its début a week later at the International Eifel Race. Until one day before the Grand Prix, this legendary racing car was painted in traditional German racing white – and was a whole kilogram heavier. Overnight the mechanics ground off the paint to expose the bodywork's metallic silver skin and a trademark was born. The driver at the wheel, Manfred von Brauchitsch, won this important first race and thus established the unrivalled success story of the Mercedes-Benz Silver Arrows.
Even now, 80 years after that brilliant opening race, the W 25 and its successor models have lost none of their thrilling appeal. Every Silver Arrow combines innovative new design with outstanding engineering and has its own unique racing story to tell.

Although many of us knew this day was coming, the end of the search for Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 is a sad day for all the families who still don't know what happened to their loved ones on that flight. It must be incredibly difficult to continue without the proper closure of knowing what happened that day.
Voice370, a group that represents some of the families of the victims came out against the decision, arguing that we cannot accept not having an answer on how a commercial airliner carrying 269 people on board can just go missing.
Many governments have put a vast amount of resources and technology into the search. We all should give them a special thanks as well, for all the rescue workers who have spent days, nights, and weekends looking for any hint of the downed aircraft.
This truly is a sad ending to an already sad story, but the reasoning is reasonable and all we can hope for at this point is maybe we will get new clues that come out of nowhere, so at long last, maybe the families can get some sort of closure.
Thoughts and prayers to the families during what is likely a very difficult day for them.

This is the third in a four-part series introducing IRI CellShield data masking software for Excel; the series overview starts here. The following parts demonstrate how to use the other functions in CellShield: data masking and pseudonymization. If you're interested in finding, classifying, or masking PII in relational databases or flat files (e.g, CSV, JSON, COBOL, LDIF, etc.), check out IRI FieldShield. For unstructured text (log, email, doc/x, ppt/x, .pdf) or image files, see IRI DarkShield.
Users can select a range of cells to protect, and then click the function they want to apply. CellShield offers an easy-to-use interface, and it does its work quickly – even on very large data sets.
For encryption purposes, the user establishes an appropriate passphrase to protect each applicable data set. CellShield will decrypt the protected content when the correct passphrase is entered. This allows only specific users to see the protected information, but allows others to work in the same spreadsheet without having access to that same information.
1. Open the sheet containing the data you want CellShield to encrypt. Note that only some of the encryption routines available in IRI FieldShield, including format-preserving encryption, are supported in CellShield.
2. Select the range of cells to encrypt.
3. Click on the CellShield tab in the Excel ribbon.
4. Click the 'Encrypt & Decrypt' button on the CellShield menu; then select 'Encrypt' from the drop-down list.
5. Fill in all required information on the user form that pops up for 'Data Encryption' (passphrase is optional).
6. Then click the 'Encrypt' button on the form to populate the results in the desired location (either into a new spreadsheet or within the selected range).
In this case, the selected range was encrypted with a format-preserving encryption routine so that the cell values appear to be credit card numbers, but are protected. The original values can be restored only with the corresponding decryption routine and passphrase (encryption key) in IRI CellShield or IRI FieldShield.
If I apply CellShield to an Excel spreadsheet & send it to someone, will they be able to decrypt it on their end using just a password? Do all recipients need to have CellShield installed as well?
They will need their own licensed installation of CellShield (or if the data are moved into a flat file or database, IRI FieldShield) which has the corresponding decryption function. And they would need to use the same passphrase.

Fallout 4 Video Gameplay Leaked [Spoilers!]
We've seen a lot of Fallout 4 screens in past few days, and now, we even got an early leak of the Fallout 4 Gameplay Videos. Vidme user totallynotreal, that is actually LennyReviews from unknown game review company (since his page was missing at the point of writing this), has posted a few Gameplay Videos of Fallout 4.
Although, he claims that the footage is not his and that he simply re-uploaded them, asking Bethesda not to sue him... Oh well..
Enjoy and be warned -- spoilers ahead!
Fallout 4 Gameplay - Part 1
There is, however, a gameplay gap between some of the videos, but that's, in my opinion, not to ruin the game story too much. If you want some more early sneak-peak into Fallout 4, stay tuned or even better -- Subscribe!

Fallout 4 Gameplay Features (leaked)
The following information about Fallout 4 Gameplay Features is leaked information, which means that it doesn't have to be true, can be particularly true, but also, that it may contain a huge amount of spoilers. Since we got that clear, I will start with the game engine which is the most crucial part of any game. Fallout 4 will be developed for all platforms, but firstly, only for PS4, XBone, and PC (next-gen). That's right, Fallout 4 is developed in two different game engines.
The first version uses a brand new engine built from the ground up to take advantage of the power of next-gen systems. Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 version is also being developed by Bethesda Game Studios, but will release a year after the advanced version. This version runs on the Creation Engine, the same engine that powered Skyrim. This is being done so that PS3/360 users can play the game without a problem. Everything will be the same in this version as the advanced version, except for the graphics, gameplay, and some additional features.
Gameplay Features
Fallout 4 plays similar to Fallout 3 and New Vegas. You can play in Third Person or First Person, or on the PC version, a new "Classic Mode" that will put the game into birds eye view and play similar to the classic Fallout Games. Unlike Fallout 3 and Fallout New Vegas, you can only play as a man. This is due to the storyline requiring it. However, after the main story is over, you can have a gender change.
At the beginning of the game, you create your character (You can only be a male in the main story), and afterward, you start the game with a blast. After the blast, you awake to see the building you are standing inside blown apart and your wife, Lydia, dead. Robots and Androids are storming the place, killing and kidnapping the people inside. You, known as "The Officer", must escape and get revenge.
In Fallout 4, you are in Boston (and the surrounding countryside), and it takes place in the year 2287, exactly 10 years after Fallout 3. In Fallout 4, mixing things up, BSG are making the game more "Story Based" and the player character will finally talk, and narrate his storyline.
Location, Factions, and Creatures
The map of Fallout 4 is about 3 times the size of Skyrim. The reason for this is to make a much more realistic and interactive world, that players can always find new things, even if they have played it for years after release.
The downtown area is entirely controlled by "The Institute", a group of techies and scholars, as well as researchers, who devote their lives to technology. The countryside area is a "Wasteland" with small towns and settlements, as well as vaults here and there. Logan International Airport is taken over by the Brotherhood of steel, who are there trying to control the technology, and are currently waging a war against the institute, as they both have disagreements as to who should be in control of the technology in the area.
Meanwhile, Vault 79, located outside of Boston, is under the control by "The Railroad", a group of people dedicated to helping Androids escape the institute.
The Railroad returns from Fallout 3, where you only had a small glimpse of it during the "Replicated man" quest. In this game, they are a full faction and are much larger.
The Brotherhood Of Steel returns and control Logan Airport. This BOS is not the same as seen in Fallout 3. Instead, a similar BOS to the ones seen in the classic Fallout games as well as Fallout New Vegas make an appearance, only caring about technology, and will obtain it by force if they have to.
The Institute returns from Fallout 3 and is headed by a man named Thomas Littleton. They are the primary antagonists of the game and control most of Boston Downtown. Their patrols in Downtown Boston are the counterpart in this game to the Super Mutants in Downtown DC in Fallout 3.
Talon Company also returns, but in a much smaller force. They base operations outside of a bunker located in Downtown Boston.
Super Mutants return, in the same form as the ones from Fallout 3, keeping in line with the "East Coast" mutants. Feral Ghouls return as well. Vicious Dogs return. Feral Cats are new, and exclusively located in one of the vaults. Spore Carriers return from Fallout New Vegas and are located in sewers.
Madison Li returns from Fallout 3. 10 years prior to Fallout 4, she left D.C after the Loss of James and having thought she lost the lone wanderer as well. Having had enough, she left to Boston, as it is home to one of the biggest Scientific facilities. Madison will once again be voiced by Jennifer Massey.
Three Dog returns as well, although he is only heard on the radio, and not seen in person. People believe the radio is not actually live, and that it is simply a looped recording. (Based on the fact that you CAN kill him in Fallout 3.) He is voiced by Erik Todd Dellums.
Bryan Wilks returns from Fallout 3. Yes, the little boy you saved from Grayditch. He is now 19 years old and is a mercenary, working with Talon Company. He bases his reason as to working with them on "Once someone saved me, and I wanted to be just like them!" He is voiced by Jerry Jewell.
Other Fallout 3 characters return as well, but only through a save transfer and depend on choices you made from Fallout 3 game for Fallout 4.

DETROIT — Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed said Monday cities are driving the success of the U.S. economy and that he hopes the incoming administration of President-elect Donald Trump will be a friend rather than foe of metropolitan areas.
"The real question is whether they (the Trump administration) are going to allow us to continue to lead and drive the economy and GDP or whether they ware going to interfere," Reed said during a symposium on transportation solutions sponsored by car manufacturing giant Ford and the New York Times.
In the wide-ranging discussion — which included mayors Rahm Emanel of Chicago, Mike Duggan of Detroit and Andrew Ginther of Columbus, Ohio, all Democrats — Reed said in-migration from the suburbs to cities from both residents and businesses has put metropolitan areas in the driver's seat on the economy.
In Atlanta, that in-migration has meant the relocation of NCR Corp.'s headquarters into Midtown from Gwinnett County and thousands of millennials who have chosen to live in the city rather than the suburbs.
Reed said officials and metro residents recognize that building more highways is not the solution to Atlanta's traffic woes, which are some of the worst in the nation. Millennials and many businesses want to be in cities because they want transportation alternatives to sitting in hours of traffic.
While Atlanta is far from solving its congestion problems, it is moving in the right direction, Reed said. The recent passage of two transportation referendums in the city of Atlanta in November that will expand MARTA and spend another $300 million on infrastructure improvements suggests residents understand the need for change, he said.
The business community also has helped usher in the change, he said. Pulte Homes Group relocated to Atlanta to be near transit and State Farm recently completed a new corporate campus on MARTA's north line.

Q: jQuery datatable gets broken when initialized while being hidden Well, the title is not much explicit, but I couldn't really find something simple to explain the issue here.
Using jQuery.datatable, I generate the table on click on a bootstrap panel-collapsed. The thing is that mess up the "view". A picture is worth a thousand words here:
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0ByzbHcAxmCyvbXVVNTNYUXE1Qms/edit
If I open or resize the browser console, the view kind of refresh itself and fix the thing, I guess that's just some kind of weird rendering issue. But I don't know how fix it (no, asking the user to open the console is not a solution ^^)
Anyway, do you know how "refresh" the page, any workaround?
By the way, if you find a better title & tags, feel free!

A: I found a workaround to this.
The issue is that if the table is hidden when it's initialized then it won't be displayed correctly. The trick is to hide the table using JS instead of CSS, because JS is applied once the page is loaded using $(function(){});. So if you init the table before to hide it by JS when it will be showed then it will be correctly displayed. The order matters!

A: You can make responsive recalc() the columns when a collapsible panel is shown...
var $table = $('#YourTableId');

//init the table
$table.dataTable({ "responsive" : true });

//bind to boostrap panel shown event and recalc
$table.parent().closest('.panel-collapse').on('shown.bs.collapse', function () {
    $table.DataTable().columns().responsive.recalc();
});

Q: pybind11: using setuptools to link I'm trying to use Python's setuptools to build a variant of this example. In the example, there is only one file, main.cpp. However, in my version, I'm adding in another class. Therefore, there are a total of three files:
main.cpp
#include <pybind11/pybind11.h>
#include "myClass.h"

namespace py = pybind11;

PYBIND11_MODULE(python_example, m) {
    m.doc() = R"pbdoc(
        Pybind11 example plugin

    )pbdoc";

    py::class_<myClass>(m, "myClass")
    .def(py::init<>())
    .def("addOne", &myClass::addOne)
    .def("getNumber", &myClass::getNumber)
    ;
}

myClass.h
#include <pybind11/pybind11.h>

class myClass
{
public:
    int number;

    myClass();
    void addOne();

    int getNumber();
};

myClass.cpp
#include <pybind11/pybind11.h>
#include "myClass.h"

myClass::myClass() {
    number = 1;
}
void myClass::addOne() {
    number = number + 1;
}

int myClass::getNumber() {
    return number;
}

If I use the original setup.py file in the example, it does not work, since I need to link myClass.cpp with main.cpp. How can I do that using setuptools? Basically I am looking for the setuptools equivalent of CMake's target_link_libraries.
I'm asking this because my experience in CMake is minimal. Using setuptools would be easier for me.

A: I believe that what you are looking from is setuptools.Extension. I highly advice you to check out this great example: https://github.com/pybind/python_example. It should be able to guide you in what you need to do.
Here is what I extracted for your code. Note that it is basically copy-paste from the example.
from setuptools import setup, Extension
from setuptools.command.build_ext import build_ext

import sys, re
import setuptools
import pybind11

# (c) Sylvain Corlay, https://github.com/pybind/python_example
def has_flag(compiler, flagname):

  import tempfile

  with tempfile.NamedTemporaryFile('w', suffix='.cpp') as f:

    f.write('int main (int argc, char **argv) { return 0; }')

    try:
      compiler.compile([f.name], extra_postargs=[flagname])
    except setuptools.distutils.errors.CompileError:
      return False

  return True

# (c) Sylvain Corlay, https://github.com/pybind/python_example
def cpp_flag(compiler):

  if   has_flag(compiler,'-std=c++14'): return '-std=c++14'
  elif has_flag(compiler,'-std=c++11'): return '-std=c++11'
  raise RuntimeError('Unsupported compiler: at least C++11 support is needed')

# (c) Sylvain Corlay, https://github.com/pybind/python_example
class BuildExt(build_ext):

  c_opts = {
    'msvc': ['/EHsc'],
    'unix': [],
  }

  if sys.platform == 'darwin':
    c_opts['unix'] += ['-stdlib=libc++', '-mmacosx-version-min=10.7']

  def build_extensions(self):
    ct = self.compiler.compiler_type
    opts = self.c_opts.get(ct, [])
    if ct == 'unix':
      opts.append('-DVERSION_INFO="%s"' % self.distribution.get_version())
      opts.append(cpp_flag(self.compiler))
    elif ct == 'msvc':
      opts.append('/DVERSION_INFO=\\"%s\\"' % self.distribution.get_version())
    for ext in self.extensions:
      ext.extra_compile_args = opts
    build_ext.build_extensions(self)

ext_modules = [
  Extension(
    'python_example',
    ['main.cpp', 'myClass.cpp'],
    include_dirs=[
      pybind11.get_include(False),
      pybind11.get_include(True ),
    ],
    language='c++'
  ),
]

setup(
  name             = 'python_example',
  ext_modules      = ext_modules,
  install_requires = ['pybind11>=2.2.0'],
  cmdclass         = {'build_ext': BuildExt},
  zip_safe         = False,
)

Note that a large portion of the code does not deal with your specific question but rather with getting C++11/14 to work in a robust way. I tried to leave it mostly as it was in the original example, also to get a complete working code here.

Spätschicht ist ein Fernsehfilm aus der Krimireihe Tatort. Der vom WDR produzierte Beitrag wurde am 2. Dezember 2007 im Ersten Programm der ARD ausgestrahlt. Es ist der 38. Fall des Ermittler-Teams Max Ballauf und Freddy Schenk und die 681. Tatortfolge.

Handlung
Ballauf und Schenk werden zu einem Mordfall gerufen, nachdem ein Gast in einem Bordell mit zwei Schüssen hingerichtet wurde. Erschrocken stellt Ballauf fest, dass er den Mann von der Polizeischule kennt und es sich um Gerd Samland von der Autobahnpolizei handelt. Noch ehe die Kommissare mögliche Zeugen der Tat befragen können, erscheinen zwei Kollegen der "Internen Ermittlungen" und übernehmen den Fall. Nach den polizeilichen Bestimmungen ist für Verbrechen, die Polizeibeamte betreffen, diese spezielle Abteilung zuständig. Ballauf hört jedoch aus Kriminalrat Brauers Begründung eine gewisse Vorverurteilung heraus. Deshalb kümmert er sich unerlaubterweise weiter um den Mord an seinem alten Freund. Er weiß, dass Samland in letzter Zeit Probleme hatte, kann aber nicht glauben, dass er korrupt gewesen sein soll, so wie es Brauer Samland unterstellt.

Am nächsten Tag wird auf einem Autobahnrasthof eine übel zugerichtete Leiche gefunden. Die Recherchen ergeben, dass es sich bei dem Mann um Marek Sobinski, einen bereits vermissten polnischen Fernfahrer, handelt. Seine Schwester ist fest davon überzeugt, dass die Spedition, für die er zuletzt gearbeitet hat, etwas mit seinem Tod zu tun haben dürfte. Ihr Bruder war eigentlich Journalist und hätte etwas herausgefunden, womit er in Polen an die Presse gehen wollte. Daraufhin begibt sich Schenk bei der Spedition auf Spurensuche und Ballauf nutzt die Gelegenheit, sich bei der Autobahnpolizei umzuhören in der Hoffnung, gleichzeitig etwas über Samland herauszufinden. Er trifft dort auf die Kollegen Lemke und Vieth, die etwas auffällig reagieren. Lemke offeriert Ballauf unter vier Augen, dass sich Samland angeblich versetzen lassen wollte und dass in ihrem kleinen Team bekannt gewesen sei, dass er in krumme Geschäfte verwickelt war. Ballauf kann und will das nicht glauben, weil er genau weiß, dass Samland ein absoluter Gegner von Korruption war. Als die Ermittler von einem Zeugen erfahren, dass Sobinski von zwei uniformierten Beamten zusammengeschlagen wurde, hält es Schenk für möglich, dass sie zwei Enden eines zusammenhängenden Falles in den Händen halten und die Kollegen der Autobahnpolizei hinter dem Mord an dem Journalisten stecken.

Im Zuge ihrer Ermittlungen stoßen Ballauf und Schenk auf Indizien für einen heiklen Korruptionsskandal. Doch bevor sie die Hintergründe aufdecken können, geraten sie selbst ins Visier der internen Ermittlung. Kriminalrat Brauer bleiben Ballaufs unerlaubte Ermittlungen im Fall Samland nicht verborgen und so verdächtigt er Schenks Kollegen, mit in die illegalen Geschäfte seines alten Freundes verstrickt, möglicherweise sogar sein Auftraggeber zu sein. Vor zwei Jahren gab es einen Autoschieberskandal, in den Samland involviert gewesen sein soll, und Brauer findet einige Indizien, die gegen Ballauf sprechen. Es gelingt ihm, Staatsanwalt von Prinz davon zu überzeugen, bei Ballauf eine Hausdurchsuchung zu veranlassen. Die ist für Brauer erfolgreich und er findet sowohl Bargeld als auch die Mordwaffe. Nachdem sowohl Ballauf als auch Schenk suspendiert werden sollen, ergreifen sie die Flucht und verstecken sich bei Franziska Lüttgenjohann. Sie hilft ihnen weiter bei ihren Ermittlungen und so finden sie heraus, dass der Spediteur Monhaupt regelmäßig von der Autobahnpolizei vor bevorstehenden Kontrollen über Einhaltung der Ruhezeiten gewarnt wurde. Dafür hatte er nicht Samland bestochen, sondern seine Kollegen. Lemke und Vieth mussten befürchten, dass sie auffliegen würden, wenn Sobinski den Skandal um die "Spedition Monhaupt" an die Presse gegeben hätte. So räumten sie sowohl Sobinski als auch Samland aus dem Weg, der seine Kollegen anzeigen wollte. Um das zu beweisen, stellen Ballauf und Schenk Revierleiter Lemke eine Falle. Dabei rufen sie heimlich Kriminalrat Brauer an und lassen ihn per Handy Lemkes unfreiwilliges Geständnis mithören. Lemke und sein Kollege Vierth werden daraufhin festgenommen.

Q: Adding if statement to an existing while loop I have to do add an if statement to my while loop.
When I write ./scriptname 1, it executes my while loop.
When I instead write ./scriptname hello, it still executes my while loop.
What I want it to do is echo "no" if I add letters after ./scriptname but execute the while loop if I add numbers after ./scriptname.
Does anyone know what I have done wrong in the script attached?

A: Its a good practice to keep your if-then-statement as short as possible, this way you dont need the else statement.
#!/bin/bash

x=$1
y=$2

if [[ $x =~ (^$|[^0-9]) ]]; then
    echo "no"
    exit 0
fi
while (( $x <= 3 )); do
    echo "$x $y"
    ((x++))
    sleep 5
done

Or with a for-loop:
for ((z=3; $x<=$z; x++)); do
    echo "$x $y"
    sleep 5
done

Magdalene Laundries survivor asks State to investigate unmarked graveyard at Kerry industrial school
Miriam Moriarty Owens believes the victims all died in the former asylum at the school and is already aware of at least five people believed to be buried in unmarked graves
John Kierans
Miriam Moriarty Owens is convinced there are bodies of children buried at Pembroke Alms industrial school
The Government has been asked to investigate another unmarked graveyard that could contain the bodies of children, just like at Tuam and Bessbrook.
The site is at Pembroke Alms industrial school, also known as Nazareth House, in Tralee, Co Kerry.
Grandmother Miriam Moriarty Owens — put into the hellhole after her mother got TB when she was just a year old and kept there for over 12 and a half years — is convinced there are bodies of children buried there on the site.
She has a map showing a cemetery on the site and has sent the details to Children's Minister Roderic O'Gorman asking him to order an excavation.
Miriam (63) believes the victims all died in the former asylum at the school and is already aware of at least five people believed to be buried in unmarked graves.
Last night she told how she was certified and detained by a court order in the industrial school.
Minister for Children, Disability, Equality and Integration Roderic O'Gorman
Through her childhood she was know as number 1061 by the nuns and had the number sewn on the back of her clothes.
She said: "The only difference between what the Nazis did to the Jews and us was the nuns sewed our numbers on while the Nazis engraved the number on the Jew's body.
"We lived a life of hell and even to this day the apparatus of the State are still trying to defend and protect the priests, the nuns and the religious orders.
"I have written to the Minister and asked him to study the map which clearly marks a cemetery of the home I lived in from 1959 to 1970.
"Now that the Mother and Baby Homes have come to light the thousands of babies, children and even women that are buried in mass graves unmarked should be reviewed throughout the whole of Ireland."
Miriam said she informed the Minister of her concerns, and he asked for evidence so he could review the matter further. She then sent him the map.

She said: "The Government should issue a remit to investigate all institutions in the country who have a burial ground at their site.
"The Pembroke Alms was formerly a workhouse prior to it being an industrial school, orphanage, and a reformatory school. The map also states [there is] a Magdalene asylum, a convent and in particular a cemetery on the grounds of the Industrial School."

Very,very cool but yep...I'd be praying too!
When I told my mom I want to learn to ride a motorcycle, she pretended to go deaf.
I still haven't been on one, but when I finally do, I'm not telling her about it until AFTER the fact.
We have a no-motorcycle policy. Which I'm sure we'll keep clear up until my husband decides he wants one.
So awesome. I can totally project her out 10 years from that photo.

Home/EQUIPMENT/Music Matters
Dave Marsh explores the on-board entertainment options available to music lovers with budgets both large and small …
For those of us who take our on-board musical entertainment seriously, life just keeps getting better and better. Much of this is being driven by the rapid shift from the physical world of CD to the digital world of downloads and streaming. If anything, this swing is even more beneficial to the peripatetic boating audiophile than it is to the house-owning Hi-Fi nut, who at least has the space for a big CD collection, and doesn't normally have to worry about corrosive salty air or a big wave swamping their music system.
I reckon the issue of quality has become far more important too. Time was when we might have grudgingly accepted the trade-off between audio quality and convenience on our boats. When MP3 was the dominant source, we didn't have much choice. Now, though, streaming has gone upmarket, and it's easy to stream lossless CD-quality audio from the likes of Tidal at CDs' full-fat 1411kbps (16 bit/44.1kHz) bitrate. So no longer is the portable source the limiting factor, the audio equipment is. Audio quality can be deceptive – you invariably don't realise how much you're missing until you hear something better. So if heavily compressed DAB radio or Spotify's 160kbps streaming rate (their others are 96kbps and 320kbps) are the only music sources you've ever listened to, it probably sounds fine. Take my word, though, on anything other than budget in-ear headphones you would be amazed at the difference that full-fat sound provides.
Interestingly, Princess are working towards being able to offer Hi-Fi equipment from Naim – a top name in domestic audio – on all their boats. So production boatbuilders finally seem to be waking up to the fact that their on-board Hi-Fi needs to keep up with the quality of our domestic Hi-Fi. Of course, there are zillions of boats much smaller than the average Princess whose owners would still like to listen to good Hi-Fi, and they often want to, or have to, fit their speakers and their head units outside, where they're exposed to the elements. Here, companies like Fusion, JL Audio, Clarion and Sony fight it out with their ranges of waterproof or water-resistant equipment.
Apollo – Greek god of music
Fusion have long offered an extensive line of waterproof head units and speakers, but at the end of April, Chris Baird, managing director of the New Zealand-based company, invited us to Majorca to test-drive their new top-of-the-range Apollo series, appropriately named after you know who.
Before we dive into the realms of Apollo's digital world to explain the remarkable functionality of Fusion's new 770 and 400, a word about its musical quality. Fusion's number one competitor, American company JL Audio, only really became a true rival in 2016 when they launched their first head unit, the romantically named MM100s-BE MediaMaster. Until then, their reputation had rested on their terrific waterproof speakers and external amplifiers. Just before the MM100s-BE launched, I'd conducted some listening tests on Fusion and JL's equipment – unfortunately not fully back to back, but sufficiently close together to reach an unequivocal conclusion: that Fusion's connectivity and versatility were in a league of their own, but JL's sound quality was clearly superior (at least it was when paired with the particular Clarion CD player that was powering their waterproof speakers).
So when it came to sound quality, back then the one-man jury was unanimous. But not now. Or at least, the jury will remain out until we get to hear JL's new MediaMaster. The dramatic jump in sound quality that I am convinced I could hear since the last Fusion test is almost certainly down to two things. Firstly, the company has developed a new range of speakers and subwoofers, the Signature series. Fusion have taken an interesting approach to their new Signature speaker design. Boats present an almost impossible challenge for audio engineers: they often have bizarrely shaped cabins and deck spaces, surfaces vary wildly between super-soft and diamond-hard, and perhaps worst of all, speakers are jammed in where they fit most conveniently, often overhead, and never in the optimum acoustic position (which would typically be around one-fifth of the room's dimensions in from the sides and from the 'back wall'). With that in mind, Fusion have optimised their speakers to produce a broad spread of excellent off-axis sound, rather than a mind-blowing sound that can only be heard from a singular sweet spot, which in most boats is no more than a whimsical notion.
Fusion have also incorporated DSP (digital signal processing) into their 770 and 400. One key aspect of Fusion's DSP is that the owner or the boatbuilder can fine-tune the system's set-up by telling it exactly which speakers, subwoofers and amplifiers are connected to the control unit, and also whether the speakers are inside or outside. The system then modulates the audio signal to suit, to provide what it believes is the best sound signal for the particular installation – and in a particular zone (cabin or outside area) too, not just in a global sense. Of course, we all hear sounds differently, especially as we get older, so there's nothing to stop owners experimenting endlessly with the set-up to further tailor the sound.
We listened to a number of different systems, but the best was on board a Sea Ray SDX 270 (a small bow rider) powered by the Apollo 770, which in terms of speakers, amplifiers and subwoofers was close to the top end, but not the very best or the most powerful system that the company makes. We downloaded a number of test tracks that I'm intimately familiar with, among them Leonard Cohen's 'I'm Your Man' from his Tower of Song album and Mahavishnu Orchestra's 'One World' from their seminal Birds of Fire album. The first has one of the most soulful and deeply resonant male vocals ever sung, the second has one of the greatest drum solos of all time (Billy Cobham), a terrific bass line, plus Moog and guitar playing from Jan Hammer and John McLaughlin that beggars belief. More importantly, these two tracks between them put wildly differing demands on a music system.
Whatever we played, it sounded terrific, even faced with the challenge of an outside installation on a small boat. Crucially, the system did not seem to overemphasise any particular aspect as some do – subtle mid range often suffers at the hands of flabby thumping bass, for instance. Most importantly of all, it sounded, well, musical. Ultimately, that balance and musicality meant that I stopped scrutinising the sound quality and just ended up listening to the music – which is precisely what a good music system is supposed to achieve.
The digital domain
Fusion have leveraged the digital world to produce a system with impressive functionality and connectivity. Nowadays it's not unusual to find RCA audio inputs, 3.5mm jack plugs, plus Android and i-thingy connections – or at least some combination of this foursome – on modestly priced marinised Hi-Fi units from the likes of Sony, Clarion, JBL and Poly-Planar. Connectivity on Fusion and JL Audio's equipment is much better, with the Apollo units and the MediaMaster both sporting NMEA 2000, USB and Bluetooth connections. However, Fusion have gone one better and integrated Wi-Fi into their Apollo units.
Wi-Fi is currently better than Bluetooth because Bluetooth can have trouble streaming high-quality audio like Tidal due to the extremely high data transfer rates. Of course, it's easy to add Wi-Fi and Bluetooth to anything with a USB port (courtesy of simple adaptors), but Fusion's integrated Wi-Fi is significant because it links with their PartyBus feature. Thanks to PartyBus, the Apollo units can be daisy-chained, for instance by linking a 770 in the main saloon with more modest 400s in the cabins, and they can be linked wirelessly – bye bye destructive retrofit wiring installations, hello easy addition of extra head units when your budget allows. Of course, the Signature speakers still need hard-wiring.
Moreover, PartyBus provides mix-'n'-match control across the units. So, for example, the owner could be streaming perfectly synchronised audio around their boat (albeit with independent control of volume, bass, mid range, treble and balance in up to four zones, as with JL's MediaMaster) using any one of myriad sources: the inbuilt FM and AM radio, Wi-Fi streaming, Bluetooth, USB, RCA, digital optical or the optional DAB module; however, if somebody wanted to, say, quietly catch up with the latest FM broadcast news in the privacy of their cabin, they could dial into PartyBus, disconnect from the boat-wide broadcast and tune into whatever source they wished. It's a tremendously flexible system, albeit one that involves buying ancillary Apollo units (and it's unlikely that Fusion do 'buy two, get one free').
One area where Apollo differs significantly from JL's MediaMaster is amplification. Although Fusion have a range of seven separate power amps (JL have 20!), the 770 retains an integral 280W amp, while the smaller 400 puts out 140W. I think that's a significant plus. There's no doubt that the boats sporting systems with separate amps sounded far far better. However, Apollo's integral amps provide owners with more options for upgrading, and more flexibility. For instance, you could separately amplify the main listening areas on deck and in the saloon, and just utilise the integral amps in the smaller cabins, where top-notch quality might be less important. Or if you're feeling the pinch, you could go fully integral and add external amplifiers later.
With remote connectivity comes remote control. Phones, tablets and even fancy Garmin watches (Garmin own Fusion) can all be used to control the system. On the units themselves, Fusion have sensibly retained the rotary dial, but if Apollo does have a weakness, it's the touch screen control system. I found the touch screens a little sticky. The menu system is OK, but on the sizes of screen you get (4.3in and 2.7in), to me at least – an Android boy, not an i-thingy devotee – it just didn't feel overtly intuitive or user-friendly. However, Fusion-Link connection software is embedded in just about all the major chartplotters, and I found that, pasted onto a larger screen, it all made perfect sense. There's a neat function that allows you to toggle between an essential Apollo control strip (that runs discreetly across the top or bottom of the screen) and full-screen functionality, so it's possible to use your single chartplotter underway and still safely flip between navigation and Apollo. Or simply use a dedicated Wi-Fi-connected tablet.
Saving the $$$
Not all of us are blessed with Apollo- or MediaMaster-sized budgets, or even the desire for anything so impressive or with such high-quality audio. So what other options are there? At its most simple, on-board music can be provided by a mobile phone and a waterproof Bluetooth-enabled speaker. Fusion will happily sell you one of those too – their WS-SA150B Stereo Active – but there are plenty of others to choose from, ranging from £5 (yes, £5!) to £500. Fusion have also developed a stand-alone one-box solution – the PS-A302B panel stereo – which can stream music via Bluetooth, use its integral FM/AM radio or connect to a USB device. It is rated to IP65, but it's more likely to be used inside as a one-stop solution to providing reasonable sound inside a small cabin.
Alternatively, a simple standard DIN-sized automotive system from the likes of Alpine and Sony could be installed inside, away from the elements, or outside behind a waterproof cover. That's far less inconvenient than it sounds, because there are a plethora of waterproof remote controls available, which between them can control almost any head unit.
Then there are the waterproof or splashproof head units from the likes of Clarion, Sony and Poly-Planar. Their connectivity varies, but most include CD playback, FM and AM radio, MP3/iPod connectivity and integral four-channel amplification. Far and away the most comprehensive selection we found was on the Marine AV website (www.marine-audio.com), and this company also sells amplifiers made by Sony, JBL, Fusion and JL Audio. Their waterproof speaker range is much wider still, and there are subwoofers too – I counted a dozen. Doubtless there are other companies that sell marine Hi-Fi, but if you download Marine AV's 120-page brochure, it will provide you with an excellent overview of the mind-boggling array of mix-'n'-match marine audio options available, at very reasonable prices.
A word of warning, though. If you ever get to listen to the full-blown Apollo experience, sitting in a beautiful secluded bay in Majorca (OK, sitting anywhere really), with four Signature speakers and a 450W subwoofer being driven by a 1600W power amp, your notion of what constitutes a reasonable price may well skyrocket.

Can you post the board file ?
I have followed your work on the grbl and bought some of the psoc boards and am working on adding some features like using bluetooth with android for the interface so it can be stand alone using a cheap tablet for the interface.
Thanks so much for all you have done.
I will post all the sources after I have finished testing. I don't want to post any mistakes.
I expect to be there within the week.
Just curious but why are the pins on the 5V connector ordered G G 5V 5V instead of having two 5V/G pairs?
No real reason for the G G 5 5 order other than it was quicker to route. I have not used them yet except as an easy access test point.
I am dying to try this project. I've been looking for something just like this.
Can you please release the pcb file?
I added the source files to this blog post.
I would LOVE a few boards. I shot you an email.
Thank you so much for releasing the files and sharing the designs. This thing is beautiful.
It's me again. The schematic PDF link leads to the gerber files on accident??
I cant find a PDF anywhere.
Thought of adding a jumper for connecting spi to the drivers like they have for the TMC, or maybe using bigfood socket?
It looks like the ESP32 modules I use.
what parts are needed to populate the board besides headers? perhaps a BOM?

TEHRAN (FNA)- Iran's Army Commander Major General Ataollah Salehi blamed the western countries for nurturing and spreading terrorism in the world, saying the recent terrorist attack in Paris by the ISIL was a backfiring of certain western states' support for the terrorist group.
"Today terrorism has emerged in the region under different names of al-Qaeda, Taliban, Somali pirates and the ISIL and we should be aware of it," General Salehi told reporters in the Southern city of Shalamcheh on Wednesday.
He referred to the regional conditions and the terrorist incidents in France, and said, "The West is the culprit behind the spread of corruption and terrorism and the western officials should know that they are nourishing a viper in their bosoms."
In relevant remarks on Tuesday, Iranian Supreme Leader's Deputy Chief of Office for International Affairs Ayatollah Mohsen Qomi condemned the Friday night's terrorist attacks in Paris, but meantime, said the tragedy was a backfiring of the West's support for terrorist groups.
"The West was punished by the incident in France for its unreasonable supports for these terrorist groups and it is clear that we are not pleased with the killing of innocent people but these conditions are the result of the West-created plights in the Middle-East," Ayatollah Qomi said in Tehran.
He said if any opposition group in different countries is equipped with weapons, then the entire world will become entangled in chaos and terrorism.
Qomi further expressed pleasure in the change of attitude in certain regional states, saying it's good to see that certain countries which thought the Syria problem could only be solved through military means have now come to realize that they were mistaken.
Also, on Monday, Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister for Arab and African Affairs Hossein Amir Abdollahian took the sponsors of terrorism responsible for the Friday night's tragic events in Paris which killed over 150 people, and said they ignored Tehran's warnings about the backfiring of their supports for ISIL.
"Certain regional and trans-regional states helped the ISIL to be born. We had warned that those countries which support the ISIL should know that these insecurities would spread to their countries too," Amir Abdollahian told reporters in Tehran.
"We cannot say explicitly that which country has played a role in the formation of the ISIL but (we can say that) ignoring those warnings ended in such consequences," he added.
"We stress and advise all Muslim states and all those who unfortunately help the terrorists with their money and petro dollars to know that it will be their turn tomorrow, and they shouldn't think that you have stimulated these savages merely against others," Rouhani said.
Also in January 2014, Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif voiced Tehran's concerns about the spread of radicalism in the region, and stressed that the phenomenon would bring about unpredictable threats for other parts of world too.
Zarif said that radicalism threatens everybody and no one can claim that it is just a regional problem.
The foreign minister underlined that if there is not enough cooperation, radicalism would spread to other regional countries and world would witness success of radicalism in these states.


The Maryland Department of the Environment has proposed regulations to establish the Maryland Water Quality Trading Program and accelerate the restoration of the Chesapeake Bay while bringing economic benefits to Maryland. The regulations are proposed under Maryland environmental law to ensure enforcement and accountability under the federal Clean Water Act.
The proposed regulations are designed to provide greater flexibility and reduce costs in achieving Maryland's goals under its blueprint to meet federal pollution limits for the Bay. The voluntary program would establish a marketplace for private sector participation in meeting Bay cleanup goals.
Nutrient and sediment credit trading offer attractive alternatives to more costly traditional approaches for improving water quality and have the potential to achieve results more quickly and at a lower cost, accelerating efforts to restore and improve water quality. The trading program that would be established by the proposed regulations expands opportunities for all sources by giving them access to a water quality marketplace and flexibility in meeting and maintaining their pollution limits by acquiring credits generated from load reductions in local watersheds in Maryland's portion of the Chesapeake Bay watershed.
The proposed regulations were developed with significant input from the Maryland Water Quality Trading Advisory Committee. Earlier this year, the Maryland Departments of the Environment and Agriculture published a draft "Maryland Trading and Offset Policy and Guidance Manual" in consultation with the Advisory Committee.
In 2010, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency established the Chesapeake Bay Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL), with pollution limits and load allocations for the pollutants nitrogen, phosphorus and sediment. Maryland developed a Watershed Implementation Plan, or blueprint, that allocates pollution loads for the wastewater, stormwater, septic, agricultural and forest sectors.
The Maryland Water Quality Trading Program will allow agricultural sources that have reduced their pollution beyond the required "baseline" to produce credits that can be purchased by counties or municipalities to meet Bay cleanup requirements to reduce polluted stormwater runoff. The cost of reducing nitrogen could be as low as $200 per pound in the agriculture sector, compared to an estimated $3,800 per pound for urban retrofits to reduce stormwater runoff.
The proposed regulations include mechanisms for the Department of the Environment to certify credits for trading. The certification process relies heavily on EPA Chesapeake Bay Program modeling tools, expert panel reviews of Best Management Practices and other technical and policy support. The Department of the Environment's review would include limits on the geography within which a trade can take place and evaluate expected improvements in water quality.
The Department of the Environment submitted the proposed regulations yesterday to the Administrative Executive and Legislative Review (AELR) Committee for a 15-day review. The Department expects to submit proposed regulations for publication in the Maryland Register in November. A public comment period would follow that publication.

Video: Trudeau visits Sudbury at critical time in his political career
Cloud of SNC-Lavalin scandal in stark contrast to his previous feel-good trips
Feb 13, 2019 5:22 PM By: Darren MacDonald
Updated Feb 13, 2019 5:24 PM

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau visited Greater Sudbury on Wednesday, the first time he's been to the city sporting some serious political wounds.
Recall previous visits when the not-yet-prime minister's star was rising, coming here to spar with local boxer Amber Konikow, or to tour the Shkagamik-Kwe Health Centre, where he received a rapturous welcome.
As PM, Trudeau was here in 2016 to confirm funding for Maley Drive, at a standing-room only event in the foyer of Tom Davies Square.
Trudeau was at the height of his status as a rock star politician, and his most memorable response to questions from reporters was about his favourite superhero.
Wednesday? Not so much. Reporters were told we had three questions – one from national media, one from French-speaking reporters and one from local media. But the question on everyone's mind was Quebec's SNC-Lavalin and former Justice Minister Jody Wilson-Raybould.
Reports have emerged that Trudeau pressured Wilson-Raybould last September to help avoid a prosecution of Quebec's SNC-Lavalin on corruption and bribery charges related to its dealings in Libya.
Wilson-Raybould was demoted to minister of veterans affairs in a January cabinet shuffle, and more recently resigned from caucus and is currently evaluating what she can say.
Trudeau on Wednesday said he made it clear to Wilson-Raybould that she should make decisions independently and without pressure. If someone was trying to influence her on any legal matter, the former justice minister should have let him know.
"It was her obligation or responsibility to come to talk to me and she did not do that in the fall," Trudeau said. "And she continued to choose to serve in this government."
Which, of course, does nothing to extinguish the controversy, nor does it explain to Canadians exactly what happened. It appears Trudeau was acknowledging Wilson-Raybould may have been pressured over the case, but who would be in a position to do that?
The speculation has been that it was Trudeau's own staff, but that would not only be unethical, it would also put the prime minister in a position of either not knowing what his staff was doing, or expecting Wilson-Raybould to come to him about the behaviour of the PM's staff when they were acting under Trudeau's instructions.
It looks bad, either way.
Trudeau was happy to talk about Maley Drive, and still flashed the old charm during a visit to Deluxe on Regent Street, and in his chats with the people working on Maley.
He even took a shot at Ontario Premier Doug Ford and other Conservative leaders who are claiming the carbon tax will cause a recession.
"They are not just trying to delay action on climate change," Trudeau said. "They're actually actively fighting action on climate change.
"I'm really disappointed that Doug Ford and his fellow Conservative politicians are actually fighting against something that's going to make a significant positive difference in the lives of Canadians."
Maybe if scandal wasn't swirling, Trudeau could get away with fighting Tories on the environment. He may have been looking forward fighting his reelection campaign this year on climate change. But that looks unlikely now.
With our local question, we asked why his government hasn't fufilled its promise to end boil water advisories and ensure adequate housing for First Nations communities.
Great progress has been made, Trudeau said.
"We have actually eliminated 78 long term boil water advisories in Indigenous communities," he replied. "There are many more to do, but we are absolutely on track to delivering on that commitment by the time we promised."
But even that fell a bit flat. One of his calling cards in 2014 was his promises on reconciliation with First Nations. Now they are denouncing him over the Wilson-Raybould mess, among other issues.
If you stay in this business long enough, you'll see politicians come to town on their way up and, later, on their way out. This prime minister was elected on a platform of ethics and reconciliation, and is getting hammered on both fronts.
Don't write his political obituary just yet, but certainly the bloom is off the rose. And I'm curious to see where he'll be next time he's in CGS.

New family programs for 2011 at Nassau County Museum of Art
by glow bass
The Nassau County Museum of Art is open with new exhibitions and programs for this year.
Nassau County Museum of Art is located 20 miles east of New York City in Roslyn Harbor, Long Island on the former Frick Estate, a spectacular 145-acre property in the heart of Long Island's fabled Gold Coast. Once administered by Nassau County's Office of Cultural Development, NCMA became a private not-for-profit institution in 1989.
Family Sunday at the Museum, beginning at 1 p.m. every Sunday, starts with a family-friendly docent-led tour of the gallery. This is followed by a supervised art activity at 1:30 p.m.. The program is free with admission.
The Art Space for Children, open Tuesday through Sunday from 12:00 pm to 4:30 pm, is available for children's tea parties, birthdays, other events and exhibition viewing all in a charming environment perfect for young visitors.
One of the highlights of the Art Space for Children is Astolat Castle, a 1/12-scale representation of a nine-foot tall, five-foot wide structure. The castle was designed and created by Colorado artist Elaine Diehl who was inspired by Lady Elaine's fantasy castle in Tennyson's "Lady of the Lake." This miniature version on view at the Art Space for Children includes furniture, sculpture, artwork, lighting and more, all created by miniaturist artisans from around the world.
Architect Lee H. Skolnick has been commissioned to expand the existing building that houses the Art Space for Chidlren, planned for children ages 3 to 12.

Concrete walls are built to divide space in buildings. They are load-bearing structures that transfer loads from the floor to the foundation of the wall below it. Concrete walls are desirable in earthquake-prone areas as they exhibit satisfactory performance during earthquakes. Thus, it guarantees the safety of the structure.
To avoid such issues, include professionals from Encinitas Pro Concrete Co. Contact us today at (760) 283-6733 for concrete wall installations in Encinitas.
Considerable precautions should be taken during the construction of these walls to ensure they perform as they should. In addition to proper construction procedures, the raw materials for building concrete walls contribute to the performance and longevity of the walls.
Materials Used in Construction on Concrete Walls
The materials used should conform to the industry standards and specifications, such as ACI 318-14. Materials used include:
Cement. Though there are many types, Portland cement is the most recommended
Steel reinforcement
Formwork materials. It could be wood, plastic, steel, or aluminum.
Concrete is an engineering material composed of water, aggregate, and cement. As a building material, it ranks low in tensile strength, high in compressive strength, and high in fire resistance. Concrete comes in various forms ranging from ready-mixed, which is delivered from batching plant in mixer trucks or dry premix that comes in bags.
The strength of concrete walls is determined by the quality of the cement, distribution of sand, and the amount of water used. Water plays an essential role in the strength that the concrete develops. The aim is to use the least amount without affecting the workability of the concrete. Curing methods also govern the sturdiness of the walls. The standard curing method involves keeping the walls moist at a temperature of 500F for about seven days. However, it takes a month for the walls to approach full strength.
Engineering Equipment used in Concrete Wall Construction
Concrete mixer and delivery equipment
Consolidating and finishing machinery
Safety gear for workers
1. Place Reinforcement Materials
Walls with a thickness of 100 mm require one layer of reinforcement. Reinforcement bars are placed in two layers for walls thicker than 200 mm. The standard reinforcement material is steel. Steel bars are placed vertically and horizontally in a grid pattern.
2. Formwork
Installing the formworks is the next step. Several types of formworks can be used, including wood and plastic. The formworks chosen should be sturdy enough to resist the pressure of concrete.
3. Construct Joins
The joints should be located strategically, so they don't affect the strength of the concrete walls. Roughen the concrete at the intersection of joins to create stronger bonds between the previous and newly installed concrete.
4. Produce Concrete
For impressive results, concrete should be mixed in batching plants where strict measures are in place to ensure quality.
5. Pour Concrete
Fresh concrete is poured on the formworks using pumps or any other available technique. Wet concrete should be consolidated immediately after placement.
6. Remove Formworks
The formworks can be uninstalled 1-2 days after concrete placement. This process should be done with utmost care. One of the methods used to remove formworks is by hot air curing.
7. Curing the walls
The curing period and techniques are highly dependent on environmental conditions. If the formworks are left in place, the surface should be kept moist. Formworks help retain the moisture, hence faster drying of the walls.
Benefits of Concrete Walls
The raw materials for constructing concrete walls are available at a low cost in most local markets.
Unlike other walls such as wooden walls, concrete walls can withstand exposure to water without deterioration.
Require Minimum Maintenance
Unlike steel walls, concrete walls do not require regular painting or coating to protect them from weathering. You may be required to clean the walls once in a year and inspect for cracks.
Concrete walls last for centuries. Some of the ancient structures, including Pantheon, were made of concrete.
Limitations of Concrete Walls
Should you decide to change the type of wall, concrete walls are quite complicated to remove. You may be required to break the entire wall and clean the debris.
Construction of concrete walls is a delicate phase of any project. Each step of the application calls for the utmost care. A mistake may mean bringing the entire wall down.
To avoid such issues, include professionals from Encinitas Pro Concrete Co. Contact us today at (760) 283-6733 for free estimates.

….there is nothing more difficult to arrange, more doubtful of success, more dangerous to carry through than initiating changes…The innovator makes enemies of all those who prosper under the old order, and only lukewarm support is forthcoming from those who would prosper under the new.
Leaders are born, created or they are there by design or default. Whatever is the reason for them being there, it is his/her duty to lead his/her team, district, state, or nation without fear or favour and with no personal agenda; because, people have invested their confidence in the leader, and it is the leaders' duty to perform what the people want him/her to. Only the absolute common weal should matter. Not once should the leader think, "what is it in for me?" The fact that he/she is able to serve in itself should be the reward.
A leader can be a product of his/her circumstances or a product of his/her imagination. The former will not be able to think beyond his/her present circumstances. But the latter is without fetters. He/she can envision how things can turn out. The former is a maintainer and latter, a transformer. It is the Transformer Leader whom we need today in all aspects of governance. The leader can take a leaf out of the private sector approach, of how it is (an "As is" study), followed by, what Government Process Reengineering (GPR) can lead to a "To be" situation that the leader envisions. Mr. Lee Kwan Yew is one such transformer leader I can think of.
Having won the confidence of the people to lead, it is for the leader to contemplate on how best can he/she achieve what the people wanted. Towards achieving the framework for his performance, he/she should create a team of like-minded people, and brainstorm, deliberate etc. with his team/think tank or experts in different areas. He should be able to understand worldwide trends on the particular issue, be able cut, customize and paste best practices from across the world, so that no re-invention of the wheel happens. He/she should surround himself/herself with outstanding people who don't are two hoots for money or the like, except the absolute common weal. Having heard the issue in a 360-degree angle, it is for the leader to take a decision. Once that decision is taken, there should not be a looking back, but concurrent analysis of how well it is going has to be done periodically. He has to completely trust his team and give them the width to perform.
It is important for the leader to do this, because down the line, at the bottom of the pyramid as it where, people are looking for personal growth and improvement of their circumstances. The leader has to think for them, as to how to transform their lives in a dramatic way, out of poverty into prosperity and happiness. Imagine the construction of a 5 star hotel; once it is built, the persons who built them have no access to it. Imagine the construction of a road: once it is laid, the people who laid it even don't have bicycles to ply, but we ply our mercs and Audis on them. Imagine the plight of our farmers: they give us 2-3 square meals a day, but themselves are in penury. As leaders we have to think for those who are at the bottom of the pyramid. They are the ones who are building this Nation and literally cross-subsidizing our happiness.
We have to root out the three cankers that are eating into our vitals – Casteism, Communalism and Corruption, and eradicate the three irritants that weaken our progress – Illiteracy, Ignorance and Insanitation. The root cause of all our cankers and irritants is corruption. If we can somehow eradicate this menace, our country will progress rapidly. I for one believe that corruption can be completely annihilated, through proper politics, proper policies and proper leaders. The use of technology in this process will be vital to the success of our endeavors. Only people who are absolutely patriotic can undertake this leadership.
My mantra for Governance at the local level is "People should not see governance, rather they should be able to feel governance", which can be achieved by reducing "Citizen Government office interaction" and increasing "Citizen Government interaction". The Internet should be the main interface between the citizen and government, such that citizens can be helped to receive government services without incurring transaction costs. Governance at the higher level should be so transparent that nobody can complain.

Q: how to copy a list of list and vertically append them in Haskell I'm trying to define a function that takes a Picture of type [[Char]] and replicates each element. But then it needs to take that replicated new image and make a copy of it and append it vertically. I am able to use "replicate" and copy each element twice, but I'm not exactly sure how to copy the new image. What I did is I just appended replicate twice, but that only "appends" horizontally, as opposed to vertically. Here is my code:
type Picture = [[Char]]

picture::Picture
picture = ["#", ".", "#"]

replicating::Picture->Picture
replicating pic = concatMap (replicate 2) pic ++ concatMap (replicate 2) pic

main = do
    print(replicating picture)

Ultimately I am trying to achieve this image:
##..##
##..##

So far I have only this:
##..####..##

Thanks.

A: Does this work for you?
import Data.List

type Picture = [[Char]]

picture::Picture
picture = ["#", ".", "#"]

replicating::Picture->String
replicating pic = intercalate "\n" $ replicate 2 $
                           concat $ concatMap (replicate 2) pic

which you can then call and show the output from main as follows-
main = do
    putStrLn (replicating picture)

It isn't 100% clear to me from the question that the output you are looking for is a String, but if so, you need that extra concat in there to convert type [String]->String.
Once that is done, you duplicate it and finally, intercalate acts sort of like concat, but lets you insert something between each string being concat'ed (which in this case is the '\n' that others mentioned in the comments).

As @Bheklilr mentioned in the comments, intercalate "\n" can be simplified to unlines....  If you need something else between the lines, use intercalate, else unlines is much cleaner.
