A new hybrid powertrain accompanies the updated 2018 Range Rover Sport
by Mark McNabb, on October 5, 2017, 11:00
The Range Rover Sport is getting a facelift and thorough update for the 2019 model year, along with an all-new gasoline-electric hybrid variant called the P400e. In addition to the new exterior and swanky updated, technology-laden interior, the 2019 Range Rover Sport P400e will offer 31 miles of all-electric driving from its 13.1-kWh lithium-ion battery paired with a 2.0-liter gasoline four-cylinder. But this isn't some slowpoke Prius. Rather, the P400e packs 404 combined horsepower and 472 pound-feet of combined torque to shoot this all-aluminum SUV to 60 mph in just 6.7 seconds with a top speed of 137 mph while also being able to squeeze out 101 MPGe on the European scale when driving conservatively.
The 2019 Range Rover Sport P400e is part of Jaguar Land Rover's recent promise to have an electrified variant of each of its vehicles by 2020. The P400e joins the all-electric Jaguar I-Pace crossover as the second member of JLR's new-age lineup. Obviously, we can expect many more JLR vehicles coming with similar hybrid powertrains in the near future, especially since 2020 is only two model years away. While we have no insider information on the subject, it would be a safe bet JLR will use hybrid systems very similar to the P400e's in the majority of its vehicles. The range will include everything from the sporty Jaguar F-Type to the luxury-minded Range Rover. Until then, let's take a look at the 2019 Range Rover Sport P400e, its hybrid drivetrain, and its updated aesthetics and technology.

The Range Rover Sport's new face is more aggressive than ever.
The Range Rover Sport's new face is more aggressive than ever. The previous design featured much more surface area on the bumper with a relatively tiny lower air inlet. Now, even the non-SRV Range Rover Sports have a huge, three-part lower grille. The design doesn't impact the SUV's ability to clear off-road obstacles, however, especially when combined with its adjustable air suspension. The lower chin still retains that skid-plate look that's designed not to catch on things. The upper grille and leading edge of the hood, however, look almost unchanged.
Looks can be deceiving, though.
The P400e's grille hides this plug-in hybrid's charge port
The P400e's grille hides this plug-in hybrid's charge port. It's hidden under the Land Rover badge near the headlight. And speaking of headlights, those are new, too. In fact, they incorporate a new technology Land Rover calls "intelligent Matrix Pixel LED headlights." While the tech is new for Land Rover, we've seen other automakers use this in Europe for a few years now. Basically, the headlights are super bright, but avoid "dazzling" oncoming cars by blocking the light aimed in the moving car's direction. Pretty neat. Sadly, unless legislation changes here in the U.S., we won't get them. (Call your representatives, folks!)
Things out back are new, too. The 2019 Range Rover Sport has an updated rear fascia that, like the front, is far more sporty and aggressive. Integrated rectangular exhaust tips and an accent piece help differential the 2019 model from its predecessors.
The 2019 Range Rover Sport P400e carries the same basic design as the 2014 Range Rover Sport
Beyond those changes and some updated wheel deigns, the 2019 Range Rover Sport P400e carries the same basic design as the 2014 Range Rover Sport. That's not a bad thing, though, as the SUV's untouched parts still look fresh.
The 2019 Range Rover Sport, including the P400e model, has an updated interior with vastly updated in-dash technology
The 2019 Range Rover Sport, including the P400e model, has an updated interior with vastly updated in-dash technology that's modeled after the 2018 Range Rover Velar. The most noticeable change is the HVAC controls on the center stack. Like the Velar, these controls are touch-sensitive and feature intuitive airflow controls. JLR calls the system Touch Pro Duo. The dual-zone temperature settings are adjusted by the rotary knobs. What's more, these controls also double as the Terrain Response 2 system, with the HVAC layout changing to the 4WD settings and the knobs change to operate the different drive modes.
The other big changes include a new, larger main infotainment screen. It's now a 10-inch touchscreen and runs the latest software from JLR. A second 10-inch screen replaces the analog gauges with a full complement of digital gauge and vehicle parameters. The driver can also configure the display to his liking.
The rest of the interior is updated with new leather upholstery with intricate stitching and piping. There are now 12 power ports for charging a variety of personal electronics. Two of those pugs are household plugs for charging larger devices like laptops. These plugs change depending on the market. And like other JLR products, the new Range Rover Sport comes with JLR's Activity Key. This wristband is fully waterproof and allows the wearer to leave the traditional keyfob behind. It means no more lost keys or waterlogged keys after getting wet.
Last but not least is an interesting new feature that allows gesture controls to operate the sunblind over the panoramic moonroof. Simply motion backwards with a hand near the rearview mirror to open the shade and motion forward to close it.
At the heart of the system is an all-aluminum 2.0-liter four-cylinder from JLR's Ingenium engine family
Of course, the big news with the 2019 Range Rover Sport P400e is its gasoline-electric hybrid powertrain. At the heart of the system is an all-aluminum 2.0-liter four-cylinder from JLR's Ingenium engine family. The engine is mounted longitudinally within the engine bay and is connected to an eight-speed automatic transmission. Integrated into the transmission are the new 85-kW electric motor and a 7-kW on-board charger for the main 13.1-kWh lithium-ion battery pack, which takes the place of the spare tire under the cargo area floor.
Total system output is rated at 404 horsepower and 472 pound-feet of torque. That's combined from the 300-horsepower 2.0-liter and the 116-horsepower electric motor. As mentioned, the P400e isn't slow. It will hit 60 mph in 6.3 seconds and onto a top speed of 137 mph.
The P400e isn't slow. It will hit 60 mph in 6.3 seconds and onto a top speed of 137 mph
The Range Rover Sport P400e offers an impressive 31-mile range of all-electric driving in optimal conditions. That's rather good considering the Range Rover's size and relatively small 13.1-kWh battery pack. Of course, the P400e two main drive modes that manage the hybrid powertrain. First is the normal parallel hybrid mode. This has both the engine and electric motor powering the vehicle, with the computers determining when to run the engine and when battery power is sufficient. Top speed on battery power is 85 mph. The second mode is EV. This keeps the engine turned off and runs solely on the battery. This mode is critical for Europe's urban areas that have recently been deemed EV-only.
With a regular household plug emitting 10 amps, the P400e will change in seven hours and 30 minutes
Between these two main modes are two other sub-settings that allow the driver to tailor how the powertrain operates. The SAVE function will run exclusively on the gasoline engine in order to preserve the battery's charge. The second mode, Predictive Energy Optimization, works when a destination is keyed into the GPS system. The navigation uses road data to "intelligently optimize the switch between electric motor and engine use." In other words, the GPS system suggests to the powertrain when to run the gas engine and when to use batteries based on altitude, hill grade, and other variables.
Charging happens quickly and in a variety of ways. First, the on-board charger uses the gasoline engine to recharge the battery on the go. Of course, the P400e is primarily designed as a plug-in hybrid. It can charge in as little as two hours and 45 minutes on a 32-amp charging system. With a regular household plug emitting 10 amps, the P400e will change in seven hours and 30 minutes.
Despite the P400e's hybrid powertrain, the Range Rover Sport remains a capable off-roader. It features Land Rover's full-time 4WD system and a specially calibrated version of Terrain Response 2. The electric motor is especially handy when off-roading thanks to its instant torque from zero rpm.
The ordering books are already open for all versions of the 2018 Range Rover Sport, which includes standard gasoline and diesel variants, and the performance-minded SVR. The P400e will arive later as a 2019 model. Prices start at £61,315, or $81,248 at current exchange rates with the U.S. Three trim levels are available with the P400e. The "base" HSE version starts at £70,800.00 ($93,810), the HSE Dynamic starts at £73,800.00 ($97,792), and the Autobiography Dynamic starts at £84,400.00 (111,830). Naturally, the most expensive version of the Range Rover Sport is the SVR, which starts at £99,680.00, or roughly $132,000.
Porsche Cayenne S E-Hybrid
Hybrid SUVs aren't as ironic as they used to be, much like how a Porsche SUV has become commonplace rather than comical. Porsche's latest big, green, off-roading machine is the Cayenne S E-Hybrid. It's based on the regular Cayenne platform and for the most part is hard to tell apart. That means this luxury SUV has room for five people and their cargo, can tackle winter weather and mild trails and can blend in with the other high-end metal at the local country club. What sets it apart is its powertrain.
The Cayenne S E-Hybrid uses a 3.0-liter supercharged V-6 mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission and paired with a 10.8-kWh lithium-ion battery and a 95-horsepower electric motor. The total system output is 416 horsepower and 435 pound-feet of torque. That's enough to get this 5,300-pound monster to 60 mph in just 5.2 seconds. When driving green, the S E-Hybrid has 14 miles of all-electric range and will travel up to 78 mph. Like the Range Rover and most other hybrids, the Cayenne can hold its charge until the driver wants to run solely on the battery. On the U.S.' EPA testing scale and using U.S. gallons, the 2017 Cayenne S E-Hybrid averages 46 MPGe in combined driving.
Pricing is up there with the Range Rover Sport, too. The 2017 model starts at $79,750. Of course, Porsche will let you spend as much money as you'd like upgrading your Cayenne, so costs can quickly soar past $90,000.

Volvo XC90 T8 eAWD Plug-In Hybrid
The Volvo XC90 might not have the brand cache enjoyed by Porsche and Range Rover, but the Swedish automaker is turning out some impeccably brilliant and refined products these days. One of the premiere examples is the XC90 T8 Plug-In Hybrid. While it shared the same aesthetics and interior niceties as other XC90 models, the Plug-In Hybrid trim offers the most horsepower and the best fuel economy. How's that for a conundrum? And the XC90 boasts seating for seven.
The Volvo uses its 2.0-liter four-cylinder that is both supercharged and turbocharged mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission. Though it's AWD, the engine and transmission only power the front wheels. The electric motor is what turns those rear tires. This 87-horsepower motor generates 177 pound-feet of torque, that when combined with the gasoline engine's 313 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque, equate to 400 horsepower and 470 pound-feet of torque. That's respectable. The electric motor is fed by a 9.2-kWh lithium-ion battery mounted within the transmission tunnel where the driveshaft would normally be. Volvo claims an all-electric range of 14 miles and a Level 2 charge time of 2.5 hours. Straight-line performance is excellent, with a 5.0-second sprint to 60 mph. Fuel economy is EPA-estimated at 53 MPGe combined.
The Volvo is hardly cheap, but it's certainly less expensive than the others. The T8 eAWD Plug-In Hybrid can be had for $64,950 when paired with the "base" Momentum trim. That is an $18,050 jump in price over the XC90 Momentum's least-expensive powertrain option, the T5 FWD Five Passenger. However, Volvo also offers the T8 powertrain on the sporty R-Design and the luxurious Inscription trims, while making it standard on the range-topping Excellence trim. Prices for those T8 versions start at $68,950; $70,050; and $104,900 respectively.

The Range Rover Sport's 2019 updates are a welcomed addition to an already capable and lust-worthy SUV. Not only does it look more aggressive and its interior comes with high-end electronics, the new P400e package adds a dose of futurism to the powertrain. This marks Land Rover's first hybrid, as well as a good step forward for JLR's goal of offering a hybrid variant of each of its models.
The P400e isn't just a great first-step for JLR, though. It's a solid contender in its segment. With an impressive 31 miles of electric range, 404 horsepower, and a quick-charge time of 2.75 hours – all without sacrificing its off-road capabilities – the P400e should be one of the most desirable yet practical versions of the new Range Rover Sport.

The new Range Rover Sport is transformed by technology, with a plug-in hybrid electric powertrain delivering efficiency, capability and performance like never before.
Today's reveal follows the news that from 2020 all new Jaguar and Land Rover vehicles will have the option of electrification marking the next step on the Great British company's electrification journey.
In addition to the new petrol-electric hybrid options, every Range Rover Sport now has an enhanced design and new consumer technology. The flagship SVR now delivers 575hp, making it the fastest Range Rover to date with a 0-60mph time of 4.3s. The latest enhancements deliver an SUV on another level of dynamic capability, with breadth of appeal and desirability like no other.
Land Rover Chief Design Officer, Gerry McGovern said: "When we started the design process with this new Range Rover Sport, it was important that we maintained its sporting prowess while evolving the exterior design. The addition of design-enabled technologies, such as our new infotainment system and the LED headlights demonstrate our drive towards ever greater desirability for the customer."
The British-designed, engineered and Solihull-built Range Rover Sport has sold more than 732,000 since it went on sale in 2005. Its unrivalled mix of refinement and exhilarating performance has starred on TV and in movies around the world.
Jaguar Land Rover UK Managing Director, Jeremy Hicks said: "The current Range Rover Sport has performed exceptionally well in the UK market since it was introduced in 2013 selling just shy of 50,000 vehicles to date. Its perfect blend of performance, comfort, utility and off-road prowess make it the perfect all-round luxury vehicle.
"These 2018 updates make the Range Rover Sport an even more attractive proposition with CO2 emissions down to 64g/km and a 101mpg on the combined cycle coupled with new infotainment technology making life simpler. Our efficient diesel and petrol engines are our cleanest ever and remain utterly relevant today on our journey to electrification."
The latest Range Rover Sport is Jaguar Land Rover's first plug-in hybrid electric vehicle. Badged P400e, the new model provides sustainable performance by combining a 300hp (221kW) 2.0-litre four-cylinder Ingenium petrol engine with an 85kW electric motor. The 404hp (297kW) total available power output[1] – available from the permanent four-wheel drive system – delivers 0-60mph in only 6.3 seconds (0-100km/h in 6.7 seconds) and a maximum speed of 137mph. With an impressive 640Nm of combined torque, the new powertrain mixes dynamic and sustainable performance with traditional Land Rover capability, comfort and refinement.
Thanks to its electrified powertrain, Range Rover Sport P400e emits only 64g/km on the NEDC cycle and offers an all-electric range of 31 miles (51km) without the petrol engine running. For the first time Land Rover customers can experience zero-emission, near silent off-road luxury with uncompromised all-terrain capability and allowing entry into areas with restrictions for air quality, including most congestion charging zones.
Drivers can select from two driving modes to best suit their needs:
Parallel Hybrid mode (the default driving mode) – combines petrol and electric drive. The driver can optimise battery charge or fuel economy by utilising one of two charge management functions:
SAVE function – prevents the battery charge dropping below the level which has been selected.
Predictive Energy Optimisation (PEO) function – entering a destination in the navigation system utilises GPS altitude data to intelligently optimize the switch between electric motor and petrol engine maximising fuel economy over gradients along the route.
EV (Electric Vehicle) mode – EV mode enables the vehicle to run solely on the electric motor using the energy stored in the battery, the ideal solution for quieter zero emission journeys
Land Rover's Terrain Response 2 technology has a unique calibration to intelligently and precisely distribute torque from the electric motor, which has no creep speed and maximum torque from zero rpm, to all four wheels. This gives greater control during low-speed off-road manoeuvres, reaffirming Range Rover Sport's outstanding breadth of capability.
Nick Collins, Vehicle Line Director, Jaguar Land Rover said: "The new Range Rover Sport strikes a compelling balance between dynamic capability, passenger comfort and efficiency. The introduction of our advanced plug-in hybrid powertrain is a watershed moment in the history of our performance SUV."
The motor is powered by a 13.1kWh high-voltage lithium-ion battery. Land Rover engineers delivered a set-up that maximises interior space and provides ideal weight distribution. The 2.0-litre Ingenium petrol engine is longitudinally mounted, with the 85kW electric motor housed on the transmission at the centre of the vehicle along with the 7kW on-board charger. The access point for the cable is at the front of the vehicle, while the 13k.1Wh prism-shaped lithium-ion battery is mounted at the rear beneath the boot floor.
When rapid charging, a full charge can be achieved in as little as 2 hours 45 minutes at home using a dedicated or 32amp wall box. The battery can be fully charged in 7 hours 30 minutes using the 10 amp home charging cable supplied as standard.
With significant changes under the skin, the exterior has evolved to harmonise and modernise the design, making the Range Rover Sport look more dynamic without changing its essential character.
At the front, the striking new design is enabled by intelligent Matrix Pixel LED headlights, sitting alongside a redesigned grille. This is complemented by a new bumper with a more aggressive profile. The new PHEV derivative also includes access to the 7Kw on-board charger hidden behind the Land Rover badge on the right of the grille.
Inside the cabin, the new Touch Pro Duo infotainment system called 'Blade' by its developers, is the most advanced ever created by Jaguar Land Rover and is truly state-of-the-art. Two high-definition 10-inch touchscreens form the centrepiece of the minimalist cabin, blending a futuristic, elegant feel with an intuitive, engaging interface and unrivalled functionality.
In-car connectivity is enhanced with up to 12 power points, including two domestic plug sockets to keep laptops and other devices topped up. The introduction of the Jaguar Land Rover Activity Key also brings new levels of convenience to the Range Rover Sport, allowing customers to lock and unlock their vehicle without the need to carry a key fob – ideal for outdoor pursuits.
Introduced last year, the new Range Rover Sport features Advanced Tow Assist: takes care of the difficult counter-steering required to position trailers accurately when reversing. The driver can simply guide the trailer into the desired space using the rotary controller for the Terrain Response 2 system.
The new Range Rover Sport has been enhanced with further technologies for greater comfort and convenience:
Gesture sunblind: opened and closed by an advanced gesture control system that senses an occupant's hand movement. All it takes to open the blind is a rearward swipe in front of the rear view mirror, and forwards to close
Pixel-laser LED headlights: advanced technology provides greater luminance and intelligently blanks sections of LEDs to help to avoid dazzling oncoming drivers
Those looking for the ultimate performance SUV will relish the potent new SVR derivative, which takes the Range Rover Sport into new territory. Power is up to 575hp, delivering the 0-60mph sprint in only 4.3 seconds, while bold design revisions and the increased use of carbon fibre construction make the new SVR more dramatic, faster and more agile than before.
Designed and engineered by Jaguar Land Rover in the UK, the Range Rover Sport will be produced at the company's Solihull production facility and with deliveries from early 2018.

Q: PHP Random Probability I was thinking, in PHP, you would use something like this:
rand(1, 100);

to generate a number between 1 and 100. If I was to use this code to get a random number with 4 decimal digits:
rand(1 * 10000, 100 * 10000) / 10000;

Would that make a difference in the probability and equality of getting a higher/lower number?

A: That will work (with one caveat), although I would still recommend using mt_rand instead of rand. The main difference is that mt_rand uses a different PRNG (pseudorandom number generator) engine that generally provides results that have better randomness than rand. Even so, this method has an issue, which you may or may not consider severe.
The potential issue comes from the floating point representation. Certain values are not representable in binary floating point, so they won't show up exactly in the output. Given the range of values you are generating though, the loss of precision shouldn't be significant. The only ways I see around this if it turns out to be a practical problem for you is fixed point arithmetic or binary coded decimals. I can explain their use if necessary.
In terms of the probability though (which is what you really asked), with this method each number from the interval [1,100] with at most 4 digits after the decimal point in its base 10 representation will be generated with equal probability if we neglect the approximation error. Of course, this is assuming the random number generator actually generates a uniform distribution, which is why I recommended mt_rand.

A: I don't think so.
If you are looking to generate better/faster random numbers in PHP use mt_rand()

The Silver Dollar project covers approximately 10 km of the 40 km long Camborne Fault System (CFS) and is 45 km southeast of Revelstoke, BC. The CFS hosts over 85 mineral deposits and showings, including 18 past producing historic mines of high grade gold & silver + lead and zinc.
Historically, small prospect "miners" exploited only mineralization observed in outcrop and most exploration was fragmented due to a multitude of small claim owners with competing interests. Explorex has assembled the district under its control to carry out a consistent and comprehensive exploration program to integrate historic data within a broader regional framework.
Due to the extent of the property and the diverse nature of mineralization, the project has been subdivided into 3 map segments: Gilman (southern), Mohawk (central) and Goldfinch (northern).

Bottom Line: The LG G Pad X 8.3 is a good Android tablet value for the price, but some lag and a buggy touch screen make it frustrating to use at times.
Bottom Line: The LG G Pad 7.0 strikes a nice balance between price and features, making it a good starting point for entry-level Android tablets.
Bottom Line: The LG G Pad 8.3 Google Play Edition is a boon for die-hard stock Android fans, but it's missing some of the features that made the original tablet compelling in the first place.
Bottom Line: The well-built 8-inch LG G Pad is a good smaller Android tablet, but it doesn't do anything to stand out from the crowded pack. Especially given its high $350 price.

Published annually the Mercantile Navy List contains the most comprehensive listing of British vessels
The Mercantile Navy List was first published in 1849. Whilst Lloyd's Register of Ships lists vessels over 100 gross tons regardless of their country of registration, the Mercantile Navy List records all British registered vessels one quarter of a ton and over, including coastal vessels, ferries and pleasure craft making it the most comprehensive listing of British vessels available. In fact beween 1850 and 1874 it included some very large British registered ships which were not in Lloyd`s Register of Ships. This annual publication can also be a source of information on masters and mates, licensed pilots, ships signals and various official notices and statistics.

Special services of South Ossetia notice the activation of Georgian security forces near the borders
The other day, the State Security Committee issued a statement on intensifying the activities of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Georgia in certain sections of the state border of the Republic of South Ossetia with Georgia.
"Information is received by the State Security Committee of South Ossetia that on the Georgian territory, opposite the village of Grom in Tskhinval district, Georgian Interior Ministry officials are conducting reconnaissance of the area, as well as preparatory work is being done to put up additional observation posts or roadblocks," the agency reports.
As noted in the statement, in the village of Adzvi of the Gori municipality, which borders the village of Artseu in Tskhinval district of South Ossetia, the number of Georgian police personnel has increased from 8 to 40 people. One Otokar-Cobra armored personnel carrier and four Toyota-Hailux vehicles were spotted at the post.
An increase in the number of personnel of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Georgia from 6 to 12 people occurred at the posts in the settlements of Adzvistavi and Akhalubani of the Gori municipality.
The construction of a police post of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Georgia has begun in the village of Khurvaleti of the Gori municipality. The construction team demolished the dilapidated household and cleared the site using construction equipment.
"We believe that the activity of the Georgian security forces on the South Ossetian-Georgian section of the state border is aimed at destabilizing the situation, eroding the state border regime and creating prerequisites for the escalation of tension," the South Ossetian intelligence service summarizes.
Unfortunately, the Georgian side did not limit itself to provoking the seizure of part of the territory of South Ossetia near the village of Tsnelis. As we can see, the Georgian security forces are beginning to encircle the borders of South Ossetia by construction of police posts. The actions of the Georgian security forces fit into the model that they applied from 2004 to 2008. Then the armed intervention against South Ossetia was preceded by the construction of police posts and engineering structures near the borders of South Ossetia, an increase in personnel, the gradual transfer of equipment: first automobile, and then military. That is, the Georgian side created a bridgehead and conditions for the offensive. The crown of successive actions was a brutal fire attack on South Ossetia and an attempt to seize the territory of the Republic.
Not worthwhile to exaggerate the danger so far, but underestimate
the intentions of chauvinist Georgia - it means to remain in a facile optimism. The fact is that the recent statements by the NATO head Rasmussen that it is time for Georgia to decide and join NATO without South Ossetia and Abkhazia may provoke the Georgian side to inadequate actions. That is, to try to get involved in another military adventure against South Ossetia, because Georgia does not agree to join NATO with "territorial losses".
Unfortunately, Georgia did not take into account the lessons of 2008 and continues its aggressive rhetoric, supported by military assistance from the USA, NATO and leading European countries. Tbilisi, probably, did not fully realize that the nuclear power - Russia, is the guarantor of the security of South Ossetia. In accordance with the Alliance and Integration Treaty between Russia and South Ossetia, "if one of the Contracting Parties is subjected to aggression (armed attack) by any state, group of states or illegal armed groups, it will be considered as the aggression (armed attack) against the other Contracting Party. "
This means that Russia will not remain indifferent in the event of an attack on South Ossetia, Russia, in accordance with the spirit and letter of the Treaty, as well as the Treaty of Friendship and Cooperation with South Ossetia, the Agreement between Russia and South Ossetia on a unified Russian military base on the territory of South Ossetia, will take immediate and comprehensive measures to neutralize the threat to the security of the people of South Ossetia, who are also Russian citizens.
And if Georgia does not reject aggressive rhetoric, does not understand that there is no alternative to the world, and does not stop rattling arms, there is a high probability that the inscription on the wall of a military town in the Georgian city of Gori, made by soldiers of the 71st motorized rifle regiment of the Russian army in August 2008 , will take a real shape ...

Financing for Developing Markets
A mobile-first website for a new international development initiative from Export Development Canada
We created a Drupal 8 website for FinDev Canada, a new financial development initiative from Export Development Canada. The client needed a flexible way for their non-technical content editors to build dynamic landing pages with modular content and flexible design patterns. The result is a visually-rich website that can be customized by content editors to communicate key messaging and information from the EDC. The website is mobile-first, fully bilingual, and accessible. When content editors create content, they pick options that are based on the variety of style treatments defined in the pattern library for the website.
When Export Development Canada was looking for a way to provide easier access to capital for entrepreneurs in developing markets, they created "FinDev Canada", a new entity that lends money to developing markets in order to empower women, build capacity for entrepreneurship and community, and support environmental efforts. It fills that gap between commercial lending for large enterprises, and development assistance via non-profits. It lends like a bank, but in smaller amounts to individuals and small business, so the impact is at the grass-roots level.
The goal was to launch the new brand quickly, while adhering to government requirements of accessibility and bilingualism. We used a style guide-driven process to make sure that all the content components look consistent, and that they work together as a whole. We had 6 weeks to turn the concept into a reality.
A new Drupal 8 website to coincide with the launch of the new FinDev brand and organization
Conformity to WCAG AA accessibility standards
Custom theme that matches the organization's design and corporate branding
A living style guide
Slideshows, news feeds, search UI, and animated, mobile-friendly navigation
Flexible landing pages that are component-based and can be easily created and customized by content editors
Landing page components with flexible appearance, to accommodate changes to the website's visuals and marketing messages
An administrative interface that's optimized for content editors
Fully bilingual (English/French) content and navigation
Responsive layout that works with all types of devices (computer, tablet, mobile)
Content editors do not need specialized training to make changes to the site, and the content output produced is always accessible. The component-based design gives them the ability to easily change the layouts, messaging and visual elements to suit current and upcoming initiatives. They can even change the colour palette and other visual aspects of the content components.
As part of this project, we released the Sidr Responsive Menu module on Drupal.org, an accessible, mobile-first menu that the Drupal community can use for future projects.


The American Lawyer highlights Jeffrey Chanin's trade secrets win for Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. Mr. Chanin led the team which represented the world's leading semiconductor foundry TSMC against China's leading semiconductor manufacturer SMIC in the largest trade secret misuse case ever tried. SMIC owed its existence to technology stolen from our client, and faced our damages claim of $2 billion which would have exceeded SMIC's entire market value. Parties produced nearly 18 million pages of documents and conducted 266 days of deposition in the U.S. and in Asia. Following a jury verdict in favor of our client, SMIC agreed to pay $200 million in cash and approximately $130 million of its company stock. Ultimately TSMC's goal was to protect its intellectual property, not shut down its competitor, and so settled for far less than it could have recovered. For foreign companies that market their goods and services in the U.S., this case established that California's trade secret statute will protect the intellectual property essential to those goods and services, even if the theft occurred in Asia.
Mr. Chanin's career over the past three decades has spanned the full range of complex intellectual property, commercial, and white collar criminal defense matters. His forte is strategic leadership in complex, high-stakes litigation, and the preparation and presentation of technically challenging matters. Mr. Chanin has won numerous pretrial and trial victories for his clients in trade secret misappropriation, patent infringement, copyright, legal malpractice, civil false claims matters, and in criminal cases ranging from money laundering to manslaughter.

Mama Anarchy
Kino, "Mother Anarchy"
A soldier was walking home down the street and saw these guys.
"Who's your mama, guys?" the soldier asked the guys.
Mama is anarchy, papa's a glass of port wine.
The once-ubiquitous Port 777 should not be confused with its distant Portuguese cousin. In quality and flavor, it bears more of a resemblance to Mad Dog 20/20.
All of them wore leather jackets, all of them were small,
The soldier wanted to walk on by, but it wasn't easy.
The boys played quite a fun joke on the soldier.
They painted him red and blue, and forced him to use foul language.

Very few people in the world know it, but the most progressive Russian rock band of all time were Leningrad-Petersburg's Virtuosi of the Universe (Virtuozy vselennoi).
This recording ("Beauty Queen") was produced by Sergei "Shaggy" Vasilyev at his studio on Nevsky Prospect in 1990. It features the late, unforgettable Vladimir Sorokin on vocals, Mr. Vasilyev himself on guitar, Andrei "Slim" Vasilyev of DDT, the late Ovchinnikov brothers (Vadim and Alexander), and Igor Rjatov, among others.
Virtuosi of the Universe, "Beauty Queen" (1990)
The film that accompanies the song was shot by the incomparably brilliant filmmaker Yevgeny Kondratiev, long resident in Berlin, and edited by the lovely sound wizard Georgy Baranov, who fortunately has not gone anywhere and is very much alive and well.
Thanks to our friend Ksenia Astafiyeva for the heads-up and so much else.
Ms. Astafiyeva dedicated her original post of the song to our friend Yuri "Compass" Krasev, who died on January 28. An actor, artist, and showman, Mr. Krasev played a key role in musician, composer and band leader Sergei Kuryokhin's legendary Pop Mechanics performances and in the parallel cinema and necrorealist film movements, especially the films of the late Yevgeny Yufit, as well as in nearly everything else that happened in the endlessly various, continuously unfolding and intermingling of art and life known collectively as the New Artists (Novye khudozhniki), whose aftershocks continue to define the Petersburg art scene well into the nineteen-nineties.
In the mid nineties, Mr. Krasev and I once gave a performance at Gallery 103, in the old artists' squat аt Pushkinskaya 10 in downtown Petersburg. The performance featured me, dressed in a old Soviet men's dress suit I found in the flat on Italianskaya where I was living. Mr. Krasev helped me picked out my outfit.
During the performance itself, Mr. Krasev picked me up off the ground and literally held me above his head for several minutes while reciting a poem or text of some kind. He was such a strong man that at no time did I fear he would drop me, and indeed he did not drop me, gently lowering me to the ground when he had finished his recitation.
Mr. Krasev will be sorely missed by his many friends and acquaintances. Without absolutely unique artists, musicians, and eccentrics like him, Mr. Yufit, Mr. Sorokin, the Messieurs Ovchinnikov, and many others, Petersburg has turned into a place that seems alien to those of us who still remember what a joyous, free, and truly creative city it was not so long ago, a city that belonged to people who dared to imagine it as the center of universe and a place where literally everyone was or should be a virtuoso.

Never a quiet day in Bunj Hospital maternity ward
The 120-bed hospital, the only working surgical facility in South Sudan's Upper Nile State, now includes a neonatal section.

By Donatella Lorch in Bunj, South Sudan | 25 September 2018 | Español | Français | عربي
There is never a slow day at the maternity ward in Bunj Hospital in South Sudan. Some women walk in, but most arrive by ambulance or are carried at shoulder height on rope beds.
Gisma Al Amin, 28, a Sudanese refugee, arrived after a bumpy 40-minute ambulance ride from the refugee camp where she lives. Within hours, she was holding a baby boy, her fifth child and her third caesarian delivery. She named him Atar, after the doctor who delivered him.
"I had heard of Dr, Atar when I still lived in Blue Nile," Gisma said, referring to the state in Sudan that she fled in 2013, when her village was attacked by armed groups.
"Many people talked about him there. Everyone knows that he gives very good care. If you ask people in Blue Nile, they will say, 'He is our doctor'."
Evan Atar Adaha (he goes by his middle name) is a South Sudanese doctor who spent 12 years working in Kurmuk in Blue Nile, often as the only surgeon.
He, too, fled fighting in 2011 with tens of thousands of Sudanese. He is now the chief surgeon and medical director at the Bunj Hospital, close to the border with Blue Nile.
"It is necessary for me to understand what stresses the patients are going through."
The 120-bed hospital is the only functional surgical facility in Upper Nile State and it now includes a neonatal section and a 20-bed tuberculosis ward. Open 24 hours a day, it serves a population of almost 200,000, including 144,000 refugees.
Health-care facilities in the refugee camps are linked with Bunj Hospital.
On average, the surgical team of four doctors operates on 58 cases per week. In 2017, about 70 per cent of the surgical cases received were from refugee communities. There is no isolation ward and no intensive care.

When the wards get crowded and hot, many family members move the patients out on to the hard-packed earth of the hospital yard, where they cook on open fires under the rustling palms and neem trees, shooing away wandering goats, stray dogs and baby pigs.
Dr. Atar estimates that he must have delivered more than 800 babies since he arrived in Maban. It is common practice here for women to name children after the delivery doctor. The nurses joke that there are many little Atars growing up in Upper Nile and Blue Nile.
The maternity ward has eight beds but it can accommodate up to 20 cases. People are discharged within 24 hours after a normal delivery. One particularly busy night Dr. Atar performed six caesarian sections.
"You are a human being and therefore you can plan for your life."
Gisma's child had a skin infection and mother and son spent a few days in the ward. On his daily rounds, Dr. Atar would visit Gisma to talk about family planning and the risk of multiple caesarians, how every new one increases the risk to the life of mother and child.
Diplomatically, he suggested that her husband come to visit so that he could talk to both about the importance of family planning.
"It is necessary for me to understand deeply what the stresses are the patients are going through," Dr. Atar says. "And when they tell you the secrets of their life, then you have the opportunity to advise them or to tell them what they should do."
You have to be diplomatic, he adds, and let the husband see the advantage. "I tell the men: 'If you are comfortable with the number of children, your wife should have a bilateral tubal ligation.
"All these children need to go to school. If you have so many, how can you send them all to school? The hen hatches maybe 20 chicks, but at the end of the day only five survive. You are a human being and therefore you can plan for your life'."
Gisma needed no convincing. "I want my children to have an education," she declared. "This boy will go to school to be a doctor."

"Flipper formed in San Francisco in 1979 on the cusp of Ronald Reagan's presidency. It seems fitting that their debut single (originally released on Subterranean in 1981) turns environmental disaster into the band's modus operandi. Chorus-less and catchy-as-hell, 'Love Canal' features all that would become Flipper trademarks in four art-damaged minutes: knuckle-dragging tempo, ear-splitting feedback, basslines to crash your car to and a depraved frontman wailing about uncomfortable American matters. 'Ha Ha Ha' is even more direct in its intent, mocking suburbia with a flat, almost psychotic laugh. This reissue comes with original sleeve design. Limited edition red vinyl."

( C ) Cows have been given a bad rap for the methane they um produce particularly with the unnatural corn and soy diet they are fed in the CAFOs. Below is a great article about all the advantages of pasture raised cows and other animals for the soil and environment. It seems to be a win win- with better quality meat, healthier soil and happier animals. A good article.


One of the great advantages of running a pay per click (PPC) search marketing campaign, particularly Google Adwords, is the great flexibility that these advertising platforms provide. There are numerous targeting options, which allow a marketer to reach his target audience as precisely as possible. One of the most important of these targeting options is obviously geo-targeting: by country, state/province and city.
However, as of this writing, Google Adwords does not provide the option for city-level targeting in India (among other countries). This is certainly a major dampener for marketers and digital marketing agencies like us for whom a broader country- or state-wide targeting simply does not make sense. For example, a marketing campaign for a new property development in Mumbai, particularly a not-so-high-value development, is seldom likely to be targeted at audiences in Bhubaneswar, Kolkata or even Kolhapur (even though there may be exceptions).
For PPC campaigns that are run on limited budgets, the lack of city-level targeting options results in a huge drain on the limited spend available. Search marketing agencies working with clients- particularly small-businesses- have a great challenge explaining to them that the origin of clicks and "leads" from locations other than their target geography is often beyond their control.
Obviously, there are a few things that agencies can do to try and overcome the limitations: be it in the keyword selection or trying to clearly communicate the location focus in their ad creative. However, these can only reduce the number of 'wasted clicks' and spend, and not prevent wastage completely.
We'd like to believe that it is only a matter of time before Google Adwords allows city-level targeting in India too; however, we hope this feature comes in sooner rather than later. It will be immensely beneficial for both advertisers and search marketing agencies like us. What's more, I am sure it will increase the spend on Google Adwords by a number of small businesses too.

Q: Warning treated as error - no 'object' file generated I am trying to build my first COM Example, I created a VS 2012 project. I got the errors in the library, which I solved by changing the _WIN32_WINNT to 0x0601 for Windows 7 and apparently changed _WIN32_IE to 0x0800 in StdAfx.h. Also I changed the _WIN32_WINNT in Settings -> C/C++ -> Preprocessor and now I am getting the errors as below
1>------ Build started: Project: COM, Configuration: Debug x64 ------

========== Build: 0 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 up-to-date, 0 skipped ==========

Is it due to my windows SDK version which is 7.1 or some compatibility issue ?

A: I should have done some searching first. I got tangled up between COM and few other new concepts that I missed the conventional C++ dos and dont's
I just used cast. the unused variables were causing this problem
(void)argc;
(void)argv;
(void)envp;

Correct solution
Use of UNREFERENCED_PARAMETER works for me.

Armed Soldiers Shut Daily Trust, Arrest Editor, Reporter |The Republican News
Armed soldiers invaded Daily Trusthead office in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, hours after taking over the newspaper's regional office in Maiduguri, Borno State and arrested the Regional Editor, Uthman Abubakar and a reporter, Ibrahim Sawab.
They demanded to see some senior staff, among whom was the Political Editor, Hamza Idris.
At the Abuja headquarters of the newspaper, they reportedly forced the gate open and drove in with three Jokic vans loaded with armed soldiers.
Everyone in the building was asked to move to the ground floor while they moved the newspaper's computers.
Last night, security operatives sealed up the premises of Media Trust Limited, publisher of Daily Trust newspaper; over Boko Haram stories.
The operatives, led by a Second Lieutenant in the Nigerian Army, arrived the Utako, Abuja premises at 6:00pm, with scores of soldiers and plain-cloth personnel. They immediately demanded to see some staff. The soldiers wore masks and cordoned off the Mafeni Crescent, off Solomon Lar Street of the newspaper.
Staff of the organisation, who gathered in group outside the office, told Daily Sun that the operatives,
on arrival, asked them to converge at the front yard of the office. After that, the soldiers, reportedly disconnected computers in the office, assembled and loaded them into their vehicles and drove away.
A statement by the Deputy Managing Director of the organisation, Mahmud Jega, said the soldiers still laid siege to the newspaper's office, as at yesterday night.
Jega said: "Armed soldiers in several vehicles have laid siege to Daily Trust headquarters in Abuja. They have surrounded the premises, dismissed the Mobile Police guards and do not allow entry or exit. "
"Soldiers had earlier today (yesterday) entered Daily Trust's office in Maiduguri and arrested two reporters, including the Bureau Chief, Usman Abubakar. They say it is regarding today's lead story of Daily Trust on Sunday. Production has stopped."
As at 8.30 pm soldiers were still manning the entrance and premises of the newspaper at Utako. Several staff of the organisation gathered in groups, on the street, and discussed the development. Meanwhile, the Lagos Bureau Office of the newspaper, was also, yesterday night, taken over by a combination of armed military and police officers.
The security operatives had earlier in the day besieged and shut down the Borno regional office of the news publication before arresting the regional editor and a reporter.
At about 9:00pm, seven security operatives' vehicles were stationed within and outside the Lagos office premises situated at the Textile Labour House on Acme Road, Agidingbi, Ikeja.
Of the seven vehicles, two Hilux vans and one Rapid Response Squad (RRS) car were situated right in front of the Bureau office.
Four other Hilux vans were situated at the other side of the road, facing TheNews publishing house, a stone throw from Media Trust office.
About 15 soldiers and police officers were seen angling around the premises; as at the time of filing this report.
But, Defence Spokesman, Brigadier-General John Agim, described the newspaper's Sunday publication as unpatriotic and capable of undermining the war against Boko Haram.
He told Daily Sun that the newspaper published highly classified details about a Boko Haram operation; which could ultimately hinder the war against insurgency.
In a development yesterday night, the Federal Government ordered the military to vacate Daily Trust's offices. (The Sun)
