Content: -3 Excessive content and/or worldview problems.
Several profanities and obscenities; sexual innuendoes; violence, killings and murder; alcohol abuse; and, racial epithets.
Created by President Kennedy in 1962, the U.S. Navy's SEAL (Sea, Air and Land) unit was mandated to combat growing guerilla warfare and terrorism in the world. The elite, top-secret naval combat and rescue team must be ready to descend into terrorist territory at a moment's notice.
Which is exactly what happens to Billy, one of the frogmen, on his wedding day. Joined by Hawkins, the risk-taking Team hotshot, and Curran, the conscientious Team commander, the SEALs are deployed to the Middle East. In a land rescue-operation involving fellow servicemen and Islamic terrorists, they learn that some stolen American Stinger guided missiles have fallen into the hands of Al Shuhana, the terrorists' leader, whose life they unwittingly spare.
The SEAL Command Center later receives information that places the missiles on a merchant ship leaving Lebanon, but in an under-cover-of-night sea raid, the SEALs come up empty-handed. The SEALs are further set back by the efforts of an American, half-Lebanese TV journalist named Claire, who seems to be siding more and more with the religious zealot, Al Shuhana.
Wanting to know what Claire may know about Al Shuhana and the stolen missiles, Curran invites her to the SEAL training grounds, but learns nothing. Higher-ups decide a Mid East informant may have information on the Stingers' location. In an air operation, the SEAL team parachute from six miles up, then snatch the informant away. Thanks to Hawkins, the risk taker who can't keep his emotions under control, Billy is needlessly killed.
The funeral scene is touching, but marred by much obscenity and a drunken barroom scene in which the SEALs eulogize Billy. Then, it's off to Beirut to blow up the missiles, where they are finally pinpointed. A lot of other things get blown up, too, in this war-ravaged, bombed-out city, including tanks, cars and buildings. Amidst the constant artillery barrages, the mission is completed, with Hawkins saving Currant and finishing off Al Shuhana.
Since the film is more interested in showing the SEALs in action on land, sea and air, it is segmented as such. Consequently, not enough attention is given to fully develop its weak premise: do emotions take precedence over rationality? In the final scene, Hawkin's rescue actions are particularly difficult to interpret. Are his emotions now under control, or is he proving that there is a time and a place for risk taking?
That flaw aside, the film earns three stars mainly for the entertainment value of the way the combat and rescue operations are executed, fair-to-good in most spots, but slow in others. They repel, crash through skylights, fight underwater, and sail through the air (aerial photography is good). The advanced weaponry, such as thermal binoculars which are used to sight bodies behind walls, is truly amazing.
As one would expect, the film contains much violence and is not recommended. There are crude sexual innuendoes, racial slurs and an implied promiscuous relationship. Most offensive of all is the constant barrage of profanity and obscenity, exploding with almost the same frequency as the artillery shells. Instead of going to see these SEALs, why not take your children to see the kind that go honk?

Q: Sequences of exponential random variables
Assume $X_1,\ldots,X_n$ are i.i.d exponential random variables with pdf $\lambda e^{\lambda x}$, and $Y_1,\ldots,Y_n$ are i.i.d exponential random variables, independent of $X_i$s, and with pdf $\lambda' e^{\lambda' x}$, where $\lambda'<\lambda$. Calculate
  $$p_n=\mathbb{P}\left(X_1<Y_1 \bigcap X_1+X_2<Y_1+Y_2 \bigcap \ldots \bigcap  \sum_{i=1}^n X_i \leq  \sum_{i=1}^n Y_i\right)$$
  see if  $\lim\limits_{n \to \infty} p_n =c>0$.

I can say:
$$p_n = \mathbb{P}\left(X_1<Y_1\right)  \mathbb{P}\left(X_1+X_2<Y_1+Y_2|X_1<Y_1\right) \ldots \mathbb{P}\left(  \sum_{i=1}^n X_i \leq  \sum_{i=1}^n Y_i\bigg|X_1<Y_1 \bigcap X_1+X_2<Y_1+Y_2 \bigcap \ldots \right)$$
But, I am not sure how to continue. Also, if I want to just consider the asymptotic behavior, I can use bounds:
$$p_n\geq \mathbb{P}\left(X_1<Y_1 \bigcap X_2<Y_2 \bigcap \ldots \bigcap  X_n<Y_n\right) = \mathbb{P}\left(X_1<Y_1\right)^n \to 0$$
which did not help. Any idea?

A: You can think of $\sum_{i=1}^j X_i$ as the $j$th arrival of a Poisson process with rate $\lambda$; similarly for $\sum_{i=1}^j Y_i$ and a Poisson process with rate $\lambda'$.
Since these processes are independence, superposition implies that you can think of this as a combined Poisson process with rate $\lambda + \lambda'$, and then for each arrival, flip a coin with heads probability $q:=\frac{\lambda}{\lambda+\lambda'}$; if it is heads, label the arrival "heads," and otherwise label the arrival as "tails." The heads arrivals form the first Poisson process with rate $\lambda$, and the tails arrivals form the Poisson process with rate $\lambda'$.
Thus if you flip a coin with heads probability $q$ repeatedly, then $p_n$ is the probability that the $j$th heads is before the $j$th tails flip, for each $j=1,\ldots,n$.
However, I am not sure how to compute this. As noted in the comments, this is similar to Bertrand's ballot problem; see also this post.

Read how Polo & Tweed, a top recruitment firm for domestic staff worldwide, have increased their competitive advantage with Legalesign eSignature.
Offering quintessential staff to clients worldwide, Polo & Tweed (http://poloandtweed.com/) meets all domestic staffing needs and ensures the very highest level of service synonymous with British traditions. Based out of the renowned Hanover Square in London and headed by CEO Lucy Challenger, Polo & Tweed have been taking the domestic service industry to new heights.
Polo & Tweed used regular email for their signing process. Contracts were emailed to clients who then printed, signed, scanned, and emailed them back. The major side effect of this approach was the time to manage it, the irritation for clients, and the propensity for innocent mistakes when completing the contracts. With a short turnaround between contract completion and the commencement of work, Polo & Tweed needed contracts signed in good time. The delays in signing via email, made worse by easily-made mistakes in contract completion, in particular with clients in different time-zones, hampered the level of service Polo and Tweed aspired to give their clients.
• Streamline the Process – Removing scanning and printing saves clients' time, while the ease with which contracts can be sent saves significant time for Polo & Tweed. • Control and Tracking – Previously there was no indication of email tracking. Now Polo & Tweed can monitor every aspect of the signing process, from when a contract has been received, open or signed and means actions can be tailored to each specific case. • PDF Certification and Validation - Ensures that all contract are tamper proof, giving piece of mind to not only Polo & Tweed but the client and candidate too. • Security - Legalesign tracks both the IP address and the email of the signer anywhere in the world in addition to the signature and date-stamp, these added layers of security means that disputes are easily dealt with. • Eco-friendly - Paper consumption has dropped to zero.

Russia puts flow of gas to EU through Ukraine in jeopardy
As Russian troops seize the easternmost sections of Ukraine's natural gas pipeline network, Kyiv is no longer responsible for the stable flow of gas to the EU via its territory, Ukrainian pipeline operator Naftogaz said in a message on its website on May 10.
Serhiy Fursa
Why Putin is blackmailing Europe with gas
According to the message, Russia's Gazprom is now bound to ensure Europe keeps getting the full amount of Russian gas shipments that come across Ukrainian territory – which is around 33% of all the gas EU buys from Moscow.
Naftogaz notified Gazprom of its inability to monitor and control the pipelines at the Sokhranivka and Novopskov nodes, which are located in areas under temporary Russian occupation – and through which flows nearly a third of all Russian natural gas transited via Ukraine.
The operator suggested shifting gas transit towards the Sudzha node, which remains under Ukrainian control.
Gazprom cuts gas supplies to Bulgaria, Poland
"The transfer of the transit flow does not require any extra costs from the Russian side, and there are no technical obstacles to such steps; this way Russia would be able to maintain transit through Ukraine and fulfill its obligations to its European partners," said Naftogaz.
"Currently, Ukraine is able to guarantee the safety of gas transmission only across Ukraine-controlled territory; therefore, we proposed to move the necessary transit volumes to another connection point."
Escalators and Quagmires
Naftogaz also claimed that Russian occupation authorities are interfering with the normal operations at the Novopskov node.
"Representatives of the occupation authorities took measures to deprive Ukraine of control and means of communication with Novopskov," the company's message reads.
"In addition, representatives of the occupation authorities interfered in the operation of Ukraine's natural gas pipeline network, including the unauthorized withdrawal of natural gas from the transit flow to Europe."
Japan agrees to Russian oil embargo in principle
"This endangers the stability and safety of the entire gas transmission system of Ukraine."

RICHMOND -- A Richmond manufacturer plans to add up to 200 additional jobs by 2022. Omen International, which is a subsidiary of the Israel-based Omen Casting Company, makes aluminum parts for the auto industry.
About 100 people currently work at the Richmond facility.
About 21,000 square feet will be added to the 76,000 square foot factory at a cost of $15 million.
Omen says it is expanding because of growing demand from U.S. and German automakers for its aluminum drivelines, steering components and oil pumps.
"Indiana's business climate and skilled local workforce have allowed Omen to ramp up our operations and our headcount quickly since finalizing plans to establish operations in Richmond in 2016," said Doug Baldwin, Omen Executive Vice President USA.
Governor Eric Holcomb said, "Indiana and Israel have important economic ties and I was pleased to meet with Israeli government officials and business executives like Omen Casting Group Owner Yehuda Ben-Haim in Tel Aviv this spring to show out appreciation for their contributions to our state."
Omen Casting Group was established in 1946 and has operations in Israel. Portugal and Indiana.
The hiring of additional employee will begin next spring.

Juvenile Delinquency or commonly known as "Juvenile Offending", an unlawful act by a minor (minor is a person who has not attained the statutory age of majority). The problem of Juvenile Delinquency is not a new one it is an age old problem, it involves millions of youth. According to an estimate maximum number of the youth is either once or many times engaged in the Juvenile Delinquency behaviour. Many of the youth are never gone through the Juvenile Justice System, but it does not lower the value or importance of the problem of Juvenile Delinquency. To deal with the problem of Juvenile Delinquency not only at National but also at International Level many attempts were done to control the problem such as: rehabilitation programme and treatments etc. In the present paper an attempt is made to know about the problems of Juvenile. In this paper we'll also study or examine that how the different nations were resolving this problem, by doing different efforts.
The concept of Juvenile Delinquency is a new one, but the behaviour of the younger's to which it refers is not new it is an age old. As per the FBI the juvenile is one who is below the age of majority i.e., 18 or as per the statutory age of majority an individual State defines. Simply, it can be said, participation by a minor between the age of 10 to 18 years, in an illegal activity is a Juvenile Delinquency. The term Juvenile Delinquency was coined with the idea for treatment of Juvenile Offenders rather to describe their behaviour. The idea behind this is to make a distinction between the punishments prescribed for the children and punishments prescribed for the adults. It is to be noted that, each individual State has its own separate legal system to deal with the problem of Juvenile Delinquency.
Juvenile Delinquency occurs when there is a violation of a Statute by a juvenile. When a juvenile violates a statute the procedure to be followed is different as compared to the procedure of the adult offenders. It is common for each individual State's Statute to consider a person as a Juvenile or minor who is under the age of 18 years, but, however, the Judicial System can consider Juvenile as an adult in serious offences.
The term 'Delinquency' is derived from a Latin word 'Delinquer' means 'to omit'. Romans also use the term to refer to that person who fails to perform their task or duty. In 1484, William Coxson used the term "Delinquent" to describe those persons who found guilty for customary offence. The word delinquent can be found in the Shakespearean famous play 'Macbeth' in 1605. In simpler words it can be said that, delinquency is a form of behaviour which is against the norms of the conduct of society.
Different Penologists has differently interpreted the word "Juvenile Delinquency", the term refer to the behaviour of adolescents and children which the society does not approve and for which some kind of corrective measure or punishment there in the public interest. Therefore, it may be inferred that, juvenile is an person who is between childhood and manhood/womanhood as the case may be, who is involved in some anti-social behaviour, if not checked may turn him in to a potential offender.
A behaviour or disobedience of law by a minor which his/her parents are not able to control; or Criminal Activity which is not punishable with death or Life Imprisonment. On December 30th, 2000 Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2000 came into force, which defines Juvenile or Child is a person who has not completed the 18 years of age whether he is a boy or a girl. As per Section 2(e), "Juvenile Delinquency is referring to a Child who has been found committing an offence". Section 2(l) while defining the term, uses the word 'juvenile in conflict with law'. As per Section 2(d) children who are uncontrollable or orphans, who needs extra support and care from the people who are termed as 'Neglected Children' have been called as 'children in need of care and protection'.
It has been already discussed that, juvenile delinquents are those offenders who is below the age of majority and were indulged in a criminal activity. Mainly there are two main category of offenders; Repeat Offenders and Age-Specific Offenders.
This type of behaviour begins during the adolescence. Unlike the repeat offender the behaviour of the age-specific offender ends before the minor become adult. Age-specific offender leave their delinquent behaviour behind when they enter the adulthood, they have more mental health problem, and also have great financial problem than those adults who never had delinquent as juvenile.
In 2012 Police arrested 182 juvenile offenders.
Peak age for fall in offending is between 15 to 18 years of age.
Out 0f 100 around 52% to 57% of Juvenile Offenders continue offending to their 20s also.
Till the age of 30 only 16% – 19% continue to offending.
The average onset of drug use is 16 – 17 years of age.
The psychological and sociological factors are important in adolescent behaviour. Physical maturity is also an important factor. The child in this age wants to maintain his own identity, fashion, dress, language, food and play are also attracted in this age. The problem become more when the adolescent are not kept in containment and their growth is not chasted.
The juvenile delinquency in some cases is the result of uncongenial home atmosphere. The parent's behaviour with their children and the behaviour of parents among themselves are of vital concern in moulding the child psychology from very beginning. The way the child is nursed is very important throughout his life and not only during the age of maturity.
Poverty is one of the main causes of Juvenile Delinquency. When the children see other enjoying the life comfortably, the desire to have those things by hook or crook develops or gives birth to the delinquency. Theft and gambling are the starting point of it.
When the child moves outside his family, he comes in contact with various classes of persons of all ages and gender. He develops a definite circle of association outside the home and school. The associational impact on the child is very important. He adapts the habits of the group to which he is associated.
In India the definition of Juvenile Delinquency present no such problems as are faced by in the USA and also in some other countries. The concept confined to the violation of ordinary Penal Law of the country so far as the jurisdiction of the Juvenile Court is concerned. At present the law which govern Juveniles in conflict with law and children who are in need of care and protection is "Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2000", which replaces the earlier law known as Juvenile Justice Act, 1986.
As per the Section 82 up to the age of 7 years there is an absolute irrefutable presumption that the child is doli incapax. The immunity is granted to the children who are below the age of 7 years on the pragmatic approach of the State that they do not have the capacity to have the requisite mens rea. According to Section 83 if the child does not attain the maturity of mind the burden of proof lies with the child. To make them liable they must attain the age of maturity of mind (mischievous discretion).
In R. v. Krishna where a child of 9 years of age stole a silver chain and sold it in 5 annasthe lower courts convicted the buyer and acquitted the child.
In another case Harilal Mallick v. State of Bihar it was held that not only a proof of child being under the age of 12 but also it has to be proved that the child did not have enough understanding at that point of time and was immature. If no sufficient proof is laid down in front of the court to prove the immaturity of the child then it will be presumed that the child-accused intended to do what he really did. Thus in this case were a child of 12 or so used a sharp sword in killing a person along with his two brothers and evidence either of age or immaturity or understanding was led on his behalf, thus held liable.
According to Section 2(k), Juvenile means a person who has not completed the age of 18 years. The act provides uniform age for both boys as well as girls, where as in the older act i.e., Juvenile Justice Act, 1986 there was different age which is now replaced. This definition is wider than the definition provided under Section 82 and Section 83 of the Indian Penal Code. The Act of 2000 provide that no juvenile can be sentenced to death or imprisonment or committed to prison in default of payment of furnishing security.
The determination of Age is always a tricky and controversial issue in Juvenile Justice. In number of cases court had decided in this regard.
In Jaya Mala v. Home Secretary, Government of J&K the apex court held that, the age as ascertained by medical examination is not conclusive proof of age. It is mere opinion of the doctor and a margin of 2 year could be on either side.
In another high profile case, Bhoop Ram v. State of U.P. the apex court held in conflict between documentary evidence and medical report, the documentary evidence will be considered to be correct.
The United States Supreme Court's involvement in the area of Juvenile Justice greatly altered both the process utilized and the protections offered to juveniles within the system. Procedure in judicial proceeding has traditionally been viewed as especially important in the US. Justice Frankfurter says, "The history of American freedom is, in no small measure, the history of procedure." The court's seminal opinion in re Gault, the Juvenile in that case was found to be delinquent after two hearings. He was sent to reformatory period of six years.
The English Criminal Justice Administration while dealing with the problem of Juvenile Delinquency, preferred to deal with outside the framework of criminal law. The problem of Juvenile Delinquency attracted the nationwide attention, many reformists believe that delinquency among the adolescents is a transient phase and it will be disappeared as they grow older, hence they need not to be dealt differently.
According to Section 16, "a child under the age of 10 years should not be arrested", if a juvenile is arrested and later he turns out to be below the age of 10 years of age he should be released immediately. A child may be kept in the custody of Police only for 72 hours and as soon as possible the constable concerned should make arrangement for the investigations to take place. If a juvenile is charged and he is detained he must be bought in front of the magistrate's court in accordance with the provisions of Section 46(1). If a Juvenile is arrested under the warrant should not be released to Schedule 6, Para 19 (b) of the Police and Criminal Evidence Act.
At the end it can be concluded that, the problem of the Juvenile Delinquency is not a new one it is a century old problem, it is not only the problem in India but also it the problem in other nations. A juvenile is considered as a person who is below the age of 18 or as per the statute age of majority. The age of majority is also differs from Individual State. In the recent years the well-established Juvenile Justice System has undergone tremendous changes. The main reasons for juvenile delinquency can be consider as Involvement in drugs, Peer Influence, Environment, and Harsh Behaviour and so on. To deal with the problem at National and International level different awareness camps and programs were organized under this, Different NGO's and agencies were working for the benefit of children.

Cruising the high seas has become an increasingly popular way to travel, with over 14 million Americans cruising in 2010. Cruise fans love the convenience of unpacking just once and letting a floating resort take them from one glamorous destination to another. Cruise critics cringe at the stereotypical cheesy Vegas-style shows, 'round-the-clock buffets, and abbreviated shore excursions to the same chain retailers they can visit at their local mall. But all of us were thoroughly disgusted by this month's sordid tale of the Carnival Triumph, the mega-ship that lost power in the middle of the Gulf of Mexico. Four-hour waits for onion sandwiches sound bad enough from a ship that prides itself on a reputation for all you can eat. But just imagine 4,200 passengers and crew lining up to use 12 working toilets, and you'll immediately understand why observers dubbed the ship a "floating petri dish."
Carnival's spinmeisters clearly recognize a PR disaster when they see a towboat dragging it past them at 5 knots. They've agreed to give passengers a full refund for cruise and transportation costs, plus $500 in cash, plus a credit for a free future cruise. (Wonder how many will take them up on that offer?) That didn't stop passengers from suing, however, with the first action filed mere hours after the boat finally docked in Mobile harbor.
But it turns out the Triumph's passengers aren't the only ones who are less-than-delighted with Carnival. Would it surprise you to learn that our friends at the IRS aren't fans either?
Carnival takes a lot of help from the government. As the New York Times reports, "The Carnival Corporation wouldn't have much of a business without help from various branches of the government. The United States Coast Guard keeps the seas safe for Carnival's cruise ships. Customs officers make it possible for Carnival cruises to travel to other countries. State and local governments have built roads and bridges leading up to the ports where Carnival's ships dock."
Those government subsidies have helped Carnival become the biggest cruise line in the world, based on passengers carried, annual revenue, and total number of ships. The company's "fun ships" earned $11.3 billion in profit over the last five years. So, how much did the IRS get in exchange for all that government help? Well, Carnival's total "cash taxes paid," including federal, state, local, and even foreign taxes, add up to a miserly 1.1%.
How does Carnival do it? Mainly through "offshoring," a popular strategy for corporations in industries as diverse as technology, pharmaceuticals, and even online advertising. Carnival's executives work out of offices in Miami, and the holding company's stock trades on the New York Stock Exchange. But the operating company is incorporated in Panama, and the actual ships are "flagged" in Panama or the Bahamas.
Offshoring has been so successful that Carnival's founder Ted Arison offshored himself -- he renounced his U.S. citizenship and moved back to his native Israel to avoid U.S. estate tax back in 1990. Arison was one of the world's richest men at his death, with an estimated net worth of $5.6 billion. Unfortunately, at least for his heirs, he died nine months before achieving the 10-year absence from the U.S. that was necessary to avoid the tax.
Carnival is hardly the only U.S. corporation to use perfectly legal strategies to cut its tax. The Times reports that over the last five years, Boeing has paid just 4.5% (in part by making outsized contributions to its pension fund and taking advantage of tax breaks for research and development on new planes); Southwest Airlines paid 6.3% (in part through accelerated and bonus depreciation on new plane purchases); and Yahoo paid 7% (in part through net operating losses the company racked up in previous years). But Carnival's planning just seems more shrewd than most.
We can't imagine anything much worse than spending five days in the open sea with no power for lights, air conditioning, or hot water. But paying more tax then you legally have to is no boatload of fun, either. Fortunately, you don't have to spend days adrift at sea to accomplish that. You just need a plan. And we're here to get you shipshape. So call us when you're ready to pay less!

La chiesa di San Giovanni Battista è un luogo di culto di Modugno (BA).

Essa comprende i locali di un antico ospedale cittadino e si trova nel centro di Modugno, nei pressi della Motta. In origine era posizionala al di fuori delle antiche mura trecentesche. La sua pianta e la sua struttura hanno indotto alcuni studiosi a ritenerla di origine bizantina, ma recenti studi di documenti inediti e la presenza di elementi architettonici non propriamente bizantini mostrano che la Chiesa ha origine trecentesca, sorta su un preesistente ospizio per i pellegrini, e apparteneva alla famiglia greca degli Johannaci. Il portale rettangolare è sormontato da un grande arco a tutto sesto: si possono vedere i bassorilievi dei simboli dei pellegrini (la conchiglia di San Giacomo e la zucca che fungeva da borraccia per l'acqua).

La struttura è sormontata da un piccolo campanile a vela. Nel 1756 la chiesa, ormai in rovina, veniva restaurata a proprie spese dal Rettore dell'ospedale Domenico Del Zotti. Accanto alla chiesetta, sorge il locale originariamente destinato a ospedale.
La funzione di ospedale che aveva la chiesa sembra essere confermata anche dalla presenza, all'interno della struttura, di un affresco rappresentante San Giovanni Battista.

HEALTHY KIDS DAY AT THE Y!


Ok, so I'm going to attempt to document below how to remove the soft top for those of you who have always wondered how much of a job it is and for those who want to tackle it themselves to save some money.
I only cover removal that includes the entire frame and not removing the actual top from the frame itself. The reason for this is I have swapped the good condition one off my written off S onto my new S with a pretty tired roof. I also only base this guide on doing it with the roof UP as I have the battery disconnected.
Also, this is a guide purely for help to others and I cannot be held responsible for any mistakes made by anyone as a result of using this guide. This isn't a task for the novice as you'll clearly see as the guide goes along so take plenty of breaks to stretch your back, make sure you have tea or coffee to hand and if you get hacked off with something again take a break and come back to it or get someone else to help you!
I'm sure there are other ways that people have to do this and this just documents how I have done it. Feel free to add comment if you wish to share a work around or a faster method to anything I include.
Ratchets – 3/8 and a ¼ inch drive are advisable.
Plastic cups, masking tape and a pen if you want to keep track of where things have come from!
Philips head screwdriver, small and medium one or better still a socket based one as the small socket head with the Philips in it will come in handy as you'll see.
An extra person to make life easier or simply to help lift the roof and frame out when the time comes.
Firstly remove the plastic sills with the 'S2000' logo on. To do this open the door, get your fingers underneath the sill on the inside of the footwell and pull upwards. They are secured using plastic clips so will pull out no problem. They are quite tough and sometimes require a little bit of persuasion but don't pull too hard or you risk breaking them.
Next you should remove the seats for easy access.
Slide the seat all the way back and then use a 12mm socket and extension on the 1/4in drive to remove the bolts from the floor. I don't have any connections under my seat so can't comment on that for later MY cars.
Now slide the seat as far forward as it will go and pull the lever to tilt it so you can reach behind. Now use a 14mm socket on your ¼ inch ratchet with extension.
The seat should now be free. Don't forget to unhook the seatbelt from the shoulder loop on the seat and then rotate it out of the car base first. If you struggle with clearance either put the roof down or just tilt the back as far back as you can so it clears the roof easily.
Once this is done, unbolt the seatbelt from the floor using an extension and a 14mm socket on the 1/4in drive. There may be a rubber blanking cover over the bolt which should just pull out with your fingers.
Also use a Philips head screwdriver to remove the small screw from the bottom of the plastic side panel that goes from the floor area of the door shut all the way up to the roof (driver side piece has the fuel pull lever on it for reference).
Once these are removed you can then pull the vented panel towards you by getting your fingers underneath it. Be a little more gentle here as they are fixed into place with 4 metal popper clips in each of the 4 corners and you can sometimes either break these or occasionally break the clip aperture they sit in.
You will now be able to see the bottom of the roll hoops nice and clearly. Now undo the 3 screws you see in the picture below using a Philips head screwdriver. If they are tough to undo then use a screwdriver you can attach a 3/8in ratchet to the end of so you can apply a little more pressure to bring it out.
View further away to know where you are looking!
Now remove the centre console down the drivetrain tunnel. To do this you firstly need to remove the gearknob. Use an adjustable spanner turning the spanner clockwise on the nut as you turn the gear knob anticlockwise. Then just unscrew the gear knob and the nut (I place them in the cup holder and shut the lid to keep them safe).
It will now reveal a pair of screws underneath the 12v socket under the glove box. You need to remove these screws in the same way you did with the ones under the roll hoops.
Now go into the boot and remove the spare wheel and the carpet to the left of the spare wheels that hides the fuel tank and filler neck. It is also beneficial to remove the side carpets that travel around the rear ¼ panels and to the back of the rear lights. This can be done using a trim tool to gently prize the clips out.
Once this is all done it's now time to turn contortionist as you need to remove the rear tray and side plastics behind the roll hoops.
To remove the wind deflector remove the small grommets on top of the deflector bracket, behind the deflector and it will reveal two screws. Take the screws out and the deflector comes off easily.
To remove the rear plastic panel just pull the top part closest to the glass towards you and upwards and it should come out without any problems.
Now stretch your back by getting out and going back around to the boot. Looking in the boot where you removed the carpet that hides the spare wheel and fuel pump you'll see Some white plastic clips like this one in the image below. Also look carefully to the left and you'll see an 8mm gold nut. Remove this nut as it is attached to a bung on the inside of the car to secure the flat parcel shelf in place so it doesn't collapse when the roof is down. Remove the nut (there are 2 in total, one on each side of the car).
Now go back to those off white plastic clips. There are 4 across the back of the parcel shelf (3 of which you can see pictured below, the far left one is hidden by the electrical cable).
To save breaking these use your long nosed pliers to squeeze the clip together as you push upwards with your hand on the felted area which is actually the underneath of your internal parcel shelf.
Once done, get back into the car, straddling the drivetrain tunnel and look between the roll hoops; get your fingers under the parcel shelf on either side and prize upwards. The parcel shelf should then pop up off those white clips you loosened off. Now remove it through the open boot rather than trying to squeeze it between the roof and the roll hoops!
You now need to tackle the side panels that sit behind and to the left and right of the roll hoops. Now that you have removed the centre of the parcel shelf you will see the back part of the side plastics are held in place with another black grommet/popper. This can be unclipped or more than likely it will just break!
After those 3 fixing points are removed you should now have some fairly free movement of the rear side plastics. They do sit under the ends of the roll hoops on the outer sides so they are a bit fiddly to remove but I don't know of any easy way to remove them as I just wobbled them until they came loose!
On the passenger side, remember to remove the bung from the cable going to the heated rear screen if you have one as well as unclip the two spade connections from the screen itself. The two space connectors are secured flatly to a funky little clip that needs opening with a small trim tool or small flat head screwdriver.
Now that all the rear plastics have been removed from behind the roll hoops you should now be able to see the metal roof support brackets, which are broken down into 3 separate pieces. Remove all the gold nuts (think they were 10mm) with an extension on a 3/8in ratchet as they are pretty slack.
First remove them from the centre section and then just pull the bracket towards you so it slides off the screw threads. Again remove this metal bracket through the boot rather than over the roll hoops or you risk scratching something.
Now remove the nuts from the side sections. There is one nut on each side that is partially blocked by the roof brush and drainage ducts. To work around this use a universal joint on the end of your socket extension. Be careful not to drop the nuts though (I have one stuck in my drain hole from when I was putting it all back together).
After all the metal brackets are removed you should now be able to pull the rear of the soft top off the screw threads underneath the rear screen. If you have trouble doing this unclip the front catches to slacken the roof off a little bit. You will only be able to remove the roof from the screw threads around to the last 2 on each side where the rear roof straps attach (pictured below).
As a note, when you put it all back together make sure you put the rear roof straps in place before putting the metal brackets back in place AND watch you don't get the HRW cable caught behind it either. If you do it all has to come out again. Also when you put it back in, put the central bracket under the rear screen in place first as you can seat the outer two easer this way around. If you put these brackets in upside down your glass screen will hit the roll hoops and if you don't put the straps onto the second locator threads your glass screen will hit the roll hoops.
Now that this is done you should be able to fold the rear of the roof forward and rest the glass screen on top of the roof frame. You might need to put something on top of it though to stop it from falling as the plastic roof gutter of the roof might scratch your rear ¼'s as it falls.
Now that you have the back of the roof off you can work on the back of the roll hoops easier.
At the back of the roll hoops there is a central panel. Pull this towards you off the clips (unless there are two screws at the bottom left and right corner of it, if so then remove first). That will reveal the back of the 'secret compartment' box.
Remove the three screws that go into the compartment box directly underneath the lip where your wind deflector sits.
Now get back in the car and remove the 4x screws on the top of the secret compartment.
Once these are removed you will now need to gently pull the centre console out from between the roll hoops. Before you do this though, put your hand behind the centre console and push the boot release switch through into the glove box and then disconnect it from the multi-plug.
You can then start to pull the centre console and glove box area outwards towards you and upwards. It will make a 'cracking' type of noise as the metal clips release from the secret compartment storage unit. The bit below DOES and is supposed to separate from the outer glove box, centre console and secret compartment lid (You will see what remains in a later picture once the roll hoops are removed).
Again remove this from the rear of the car as it is easier to lift up and over rather than between the roll hoops.
By this point you should only have the roll hoops left from the rear section of your interior.
You should now undo the top section of the seatbelt from the roll hoops. To do this, remove the rubber bolt cover from the belt clip in the roll hoop and use your 1/4in ratchet and use a 14mm socket to undo the seatbelt.
Also, as a tip – don't forget to re-thread the seatbelt through when you put the hoops back in place or you'll have to undo them again and start over!
Now you can tackle removing the roll hoops. THE PLASTIC SHOULD NOT BE SPLIT FROM AROUND THE ROLL HOOPS!
If you try to split them you might end up doing this!
As well as the two pictured below AND two directly above them in the bulkhead (missed them off the picture – sorry!).
The roll hoops will now lift straight out but you will have to carefully manoeuvre the seatbelt buckle etc through the plastic to remove them completely.
Also, as a note for when you're putting them back in, make sure they are situated on the locator pins of the secret compartment box (pictured below) as this will ensure all your plastics align correctly as it goes back together.
As you can see from the picture you leave the seatbelts in place as well as the secret compartment box.
Back in the car once again you now need to remove the roof support plate (pictured below) by removing all 5x of the gold bolts. From memory these are either 10mm or 12mm and can be done with whatever ratchet you have handy. You also need to remove the smaller, body coloured one at the top of the plate too.
Once the roof support plate is out you can then see the motors and the roof frame itself. You now need to undo the 3 gold bolts marked with yellow paint from the vertical area next to the door shut (the central one has already been removed in my picture) as well as the one that is situated just behind the roof motor (look just above the tape to the right in my image below). To get to the one behind the roof motor use a universal joint. Again I think these bolts are 12mm and you're best to use your 1/4in ratchet and extension as these need to be fitted quite securely.
The drivers side is pictured as it shows the fuel filler pull switch. Only undo the top one so you leave the bottom of the pull switch bracket in place.
Get back out of the car and now look where the back of the roof frame is secured as there is one final, gold bolt to remove on each side (pictured centre of image below). You can't see this bolt until you remove the roll hoops and this section of the roof frame prevents the roof from being lifted out without removing the roll hoops. Trying to leave the roll hoops in place is how I broke mine!
Now disconnect the brown multi plug for each roof motor and with a person on either side lift the roof directly up and either remove taking it over the windscreen or the boot (shut the boot and then take it that way is probably best otherwise your doors also get in the way).
Voila – your roof is now removed…along with most of your interior!
Oh, I don't have doors either as they had just been painted!
Once it's all back in, stand back and admire your awesomeness!
Great!! I am going to replace my soft top soon, so your topic will be of great help.
Makes you think that Jack Smith isn't right in the head doing new roof + fitting for that cheap!
Love a good detailed "HOW TO"
Can honestly say I hope I never need to tackle this job though!
I considered doing this myself, until I saw a guide somewhere. Hands up who thought removing the soft top would just be a couple of bolts under a plastic panel?

Joe Biden makes the case: He's the guy to kick Trump out
Former vice president Joe Biden. (Andrew Harrer/Bloomberg News)
By Jennifer Rubin
Opinion writer covering politics and policy, foreign and domestic
Opinion writer
Former vice president Joe Biden announced his run for the presidency via video Thursday morning:
Biden, unlike every other 2020 Democratic presidential candidate, made his kickoff announcement about — and only about — defeating President Trump. That underscores his stature, puts him in a class by himself above the rest of the contenders, and signals a moral seriousness that the moment seems to warrant.
Biden's statement that America is an "idea" is both a unifying call for Americans regardless of ideology, party, class and race and a dagger in the heart of Trumpism, which posits that America is about blood and soil, a nativist image that no president before the current one has embraced.
Biden didn't have to talk about policies, because voters know essentially where he sits on the ideological spectrum — squarely in the center left. He can lay claim to be the Obama Democrat, progressive but not wacky, and the friend to traditional Democratic constituencies (women, African Americans, immigrants). He hardly needs to remind voters that he's pro-union, passionate about fighting climate change and appalled by Trump's suck-uppery to Russian President Vladimir Putin and other international thugs. He has the luxury, therefore, not to spend time introducing himself but instead setting the battle lines between him and Trump.
Biden, who will at some point need to address his past stance on crime and his experience with the Anita Hill hearings, also makes his first message about Trump's unpardonable sin in fanning racism, anti-Semitism and hate. He presents himself as the champion of tolerance, inclusion and decency — qualities that voters already associate with him.
He also gives Democrats an outlet for their anger, disgust and, yes, even fear about what Trump is doing to the country. He declares emphatically that we cannot tolerate eight years of Trump. Implicit is the argument that whatever his faults, if Biden is the guy best equipped to kick Trump out, he should be the nominee.
News coverage has devoted so much time to Biden's challenges that it's easy to forget his major advantages, most importantly, his preexisting relationship with voters, their genuine affection for him and his comfort level in speaking about values and the American creed ("All men are created equal...").
It would be a mistake to characterize his path to the nomination as easy, let alone preordained. Like any candidate, Biden has weaknesses. However, he holds a unique place right now in American politics — the grand old man of the party, the dignified father who has twice had to bury children, the right-hand man for the popular ex-president, the friend of labor and the gregarious uncle who's always going to ask how things are going and, yes, give you a hug when you are feeling down.
We will see if Biden's official entry into the race moves him into a commanding lead in the polls, opens the fundraising floodgates and sucks up the support and free media attention keeping other candidates afloat. One shouldn't underestimate the importance of the first days and weeks of a campaign. The good news for him is that all eyes will be on Biden for a time; the bad news is that early slip-ups will get plenty of coverage.

China-East Timor relations were established following East Timor's independence on May 20, 2002. However, China had established a representative office in Dili in 2000, when was still under United Nations administration.

Since East Timor's independence, China has paid for the construction of the Presidential Palace in Dili, as well as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the residential headquarters of the Defence Force.

In 2003, Beijing signed a deal with the Community of Portuguese Language Countries, of which East Timor is a member, to increase trade and economic development among the countries. In 2006, the then President Xanana Gusmão called China "a "reliable friend" and had committed East Timor to a One China policy"

In 2014, the two countries issued a joint communiqué reaffirming that East Timor recognised the Government of the People's Republic of China as "the sole lawful Government representing the whole of China", that Taiwan was "an inalienable part of the Chinese territory", and that East Timor would not establish "any form of official relationship or conduct any form of official contacts" with Taiwan.

When East Timor was under Portuguese rule, Taiwan, as the "Republic of China", had a Consulate in Dili. However, when Fretilin unilaterally declared the territory's independence as the Democratic Republic of East Timor, on 28 November 1975, the People's Republic of China was one of the few countries in the world to recognise the new state.

Following the Indonesian invasion on 7 December 1975, China, as a permanent member of the UN Security Council, supported United Nations Security Council Resolution 384 deploring the invasion, upholding the territory's right to self-determination and calling on Indonesia to withdraw.

There is also increased military cooperation between the two countries, with the 2008 purchase of two Shanghai-Class patrol boats from a Chinese company. These boats were initially to be manned by Chinese sailors, while the Chinese trained the Timorese to guard their coasts. In addition, China signed a contract providing US$9 million toward the building of a new headquarters for the military in East Timor.

Q: Copy and change item names in chest I am trying to Copy a chests contents over and then change the display names of all the items in the chest.
I can easily do the first part by /clone.
I have been trying to do this part with the /blockdata command like this.
/blockdata -505 69 471 {Items:{display:{Name:"Altered_Item"}}}

I also tried some other variants. The method above removes all the items in the chest though.
Is there a way without knowing the item ids to change just the display name of every item in the chest ?

A: Does this need to happen particularly quickly? Because if not, you could summon tnt or a fireball to destroy the cloned chest so it drops its items, use /entitydata to change their display names, then teleport them to a hopper above another chest. This is a comparatively slow workaround and leaves you with an extra chest (the cloned one that was destroyed will drop as an item), but you can't edit an item's data without completely overwriting it unless it's in entity form. Hope this helps!

A: 1.14+
Evolution of commands has made this possible using the /data modify command.
/data modify block Cx Cy Cz Items[].display.Name set value '{"text":"The Item"}'

This command will set all item's name to The Item.
But, if you only want to target an item in a specific slot, use this command:
/data modify block Cx Cy Cz Items[{Slot:1b}].display.Name set value '{"text":"The Item"}'

Replace the number in Slot:1b with the desired slot.
