The 1922 South Dakota State Jackrabbits football team was an American football team that represented South Dakota State College in the North Central Conference (NCC) during the 1922 college football season. In its fourth season under head coach Charles A. West, the team compiled a 6–2–1 record and outscored opponents by a total of 214 to 57.

The NCC, officially known as the North Central Intercollegiate Conference, was formed shortly before the start of the 1922 season. The other members of the conference were the University of North Dakota, the University of South Dakota, North Dakota Agricultural College, St. Thomas College, Creighton College, Morningside College, and Des Moines University. South Dakota State won the inaugural NCIC championship.

Key players included O. Owens, an African-American halfback, Frank Coffey at center, Earl and Frank Welch in the backfield, Schutte at fullback, Bob Coffey at halfback, Backman at guard. Owens scored four touchdowns in the opening game of the season on runs of 60, 47, 35, and 25 yards.

Water issues still plague Marion residents: W. Cornelia St. residents 'can't brush their teeth'
Water quality and service issues have plagued Marion's water system since last year. At their first March meeting on Monday night, March 7, the city's mayor and council heard from water customers in the West Cornelia Street neighborhood who said water pressure in their area had dropped to the extent that the service was becoming unusable. "The pressure has gone way down. It's very low. It takes a good 5-10 minutes to fill up a pitcher," said Veselee Jackson, who had come before the council to represent her neighbors' concerns that night. "My son can't even get water to rinse his toothbrush out and get ready for work," she said. "…we're trying to find out what all you are going to do about it." "We've been over on West Cornelia Street trying to fix the issue," said Mayor Dexter Hinton. We've fixed some leaks but that hasn't solved the issue." Hinton said that if the repairs the city's water department had made failed to resolve the issue, it meant the line would need to be completely replaced. "We're having to look and see if we've got enough material, and see if we can get some more material in," said Hinton. He said that supply chain issues meant that supplies and materials for repair work were taking a particularly long time to be delivered once ordered. "We're working on it, Mrs. Jackson. We're going to do the best we can," Hinton said. "Okay. If not, I'll be back," she said. Hinton said he would make sure citizens in that area would be supplied clean water for drinking and cleaning while issues continued.

Armenian Foreign Ministry Retaliates to Azerbaijani Accusations of Obstructing Implementation of November 9 Statement
TOKYO — Armenian President Armen Sarkissian, who is in Japan on a working visit, visited the Japan's Nuclear Regulation Authority and met with its President Fuketa Toyoshi, Sarkissian's press office reported. They discussed a set of issues regarding cooperation in the field of nuclear safety.
The head of the Japan Nuclear Regulatory Agency expressed readiness to cooperate with Armenia, noting that they are constantly equipping nuclear power plants, adapting them to risks, and their experience in this field can be instructive and useful for partners.
Referring to the areas of cooperation, the parties particularly singled out the areas of nuclear safety regulations, nuclear fuel, nuclear waste management, as well as the implementation of joint research in the field of nuclear physics. They attached importance to mutual visits and exchange programs of specialists for the development of cooperation.
The Japan Nuclear Regulatory Agency is a government body established after the 2012 Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant accident to ensure the country's nuclear safety.

Music Maks A' The Differ Tae Life
By theorkneynews on June 3, 2018 • ( 6 Comments )
By Fiona Grahame
This article first appeared in the May edition of iScot magazine.
"Music is a higher revelation than all wisdom and philosophy" (Beethoven)
James Watson by Martin Laird
Over the next few months Orkney will abound with a cacophony of music festivals. The internationally renowned St Magnus Festival with its mixture of classical works through to the more experimental. The Orkney Folk Festival also of global significance sells out most performances before the tickets even go on sale to the general public. Orkney also hosts festivals for Jazz, Blues and Rock.
The success of the islands' music festivals is no accident. From a very early age children are encouraged to take up an instrument. This can be done through the school system with highly skilled teachers and the provision of a free instrument for the selected student's primary education. The schools provide opportunities to play in small groups and in orchestras bringing together students across the islands for a few days culminating in a packed out concert.
The Rendall Pipe Band by Martin Laird
Traditional music is not forgotten and all ages come together through the Traditional Music Project founded in 1988 to support fiddle and accordion playing. Orkney has pipe bands: Kirkwall City, Stromness RBL and Rendall. Singing is catered for too whether you want to sing as part of a choir or as an individual.
The Rendall Pipe Band in the Auld Motor Hoose by Martin Laird
The standard of performance in Orkney is exceptional for such a small place. Musical theatre draws in the crowds and although these are amateur productions they are professional in their execution.
The result is that for its size Orkney has supported an astounding number of musicians with an international recognition for excellence. Folk musicians like Ivan Drever, young bands like Fara and Master of the Queens Music the late Sir Peter Maxwell Davis.
In Orkney the importance of music is seen as an integral part of the community and of education. Across Scotland Local Authorities are slashing the music budgets in Schools and of instrumental tuition. In some places only those children who can afford to pay will be able to play.
The language of music and rhythm: learning an instrument, reading notation, appreciating composition contributes to a person's well being absorbing them into the creative process. When you play a musical instrument motor systems in the brain activate to control the fine and gross movements needed to produce a sound. Reading music employs the brain in deciphering the notation and converting it into physical movements. Responding to both the process and the music it creates produces an emotional reaction. To think that learning and playing a musical instrument is not an essential part of an educational programme reveals a stunted understanding of how we learn.
James Watson at the Auld Motor Hoose by Martin Laird
The Dirty Rotters – pic credit Claire Ann Ross
Einstein played violin, Edison the piano and Feynman famously the bongos. The mathematics and physics of music is a fascinating study in itself.
Perhaps most importantly of all is the satisfaction a person gets from playing an instrument or singing. The sheer joy of producing sound and rhythm.
The education decision makers who place importance on standardised tests in maths and language at the expense of other areas of the curriculum fail to understand the learning process. The one size fits all compartment that children in our inclusive schools are to squeeze into is counter to the founding principles of the Curriculum for Excellence where all areas of the curriculum should be equally valued.
Orkney has some of the highest performing schools in Scotland with 91% of school leavers having positive destinations. 57% will go onto higher and further education with the rest into employment. Being involved in music has not held Orkney students back and indeed some will go on to have successful careers in the industry. Involvement in music is why Orkney students are successful in whatever path they choose to follow.

The Western Isles – Or There And Back Again VII
Farming Matters: If You Build It They Will Come
I couldn't agree more – music lifts, it calms, and it's good to dance to.
I believe it's presence to be one of the basic human needs in our lives – right through the ages, and all cultures.
What gets me is, that folk can still keep on making up new tunes – and good new tunes, too.
Nice wig, Walter!
Eamonn Keyes says:
Music has always been the most important part of my life. I've been playing it for 45 years in front of audiences and it's a sheer need, not a hobby. If I can't play I diminish as a person. For me the joy of playing music is particularly fulfilling when I'm playing music I don't know with people I've never met before. Using absolute instinct and the cadence of the other players to try to walk the tightrope.
Orkney has been a strange dichotomy for me. I've seen some of the most fantastic musicians here. The Chair are among my top 5 live bands ever- and I've seen most of the greats. I never tire of what Douglas, Brian, Gavin & Co produce on a stage. I also love Gnoss, and there is some very good rock music around, with Andy Taylor shining as a totally natural guitar player with a innate feel and flow that makes me deeply jealous, not to mention the sheer utter virtuosity of Stewart Shearer with country and folk-styles.
But on the other hand Orkney is simply not an easy place to come to as a musical gypsy. There are fairly invisible but remarkably rigid lines that simply don't bend, ostensibly open sessions that are anything but, and jam sessions that will never allow the magic that can occasionally happen to even begin to bloom. And that's a shame. You can't keep music in a box.
This is something I hear regularly in my talks with people, many of whom simply withdrew as a result. I did that myself for over six months.
But the call of music is too strong.
Yes I've experienced the closed 'open' sessions
I have to say a word, or ten, or so, about the Royal Music Nights.
Johnny and Marie Mowat started them up, must be 7/8 years ago, upstairs at the Royal, in Stromness. They were truly inclusive – anyone could join in – we got everything from pretty painful ( and that includes myself, so I'm not insulting anyone!), through good/good fun, to people who just made you sit there, with your jaw dropped. The idea was, we all sat round the room, mixed up, visitors, locals, performers, non-performers. Johnny, as MC, worked his way round, and anyone who wanted to, could – sing, play, recite poetry, recite humorous monologues ( a nod to Dave and his drunken Oliver Reed recital!) – anything within the bounds of public decency!
Johnny and Marie stepped down, and Sue Knowles took over for some years – doing a grand job organizing, sometimes being MC, and sometimes other folk would take that on.
It worked, wonderfully – truly eclectic, welcoming all.
It's the only time I've met our revered Editor – I didn't know she could sing – and she can – one song she did was 'Can't help loving that man of mine' – and she nailed it.
Another good thing about the Royal was….the number of folk who got the courage and confidence to perform in public, and who have followed that up, with continuing to perform. My own tale is ….I can't sing, really can't sing. I can bellow, and growl, but I can't sing. Then, on a quiet night at the Royal, Mike Henderson said he'd play 'Mercedes Benz', if I'd sing it – so I did. Then, being very ill, gave me a bit of a "What the hell?" attitude, and I continued to below or growl at the Royal, whenever I got the chance. Here's the point of this tale – one evening, a Welsh lady, visiting, sang the Welsh National Anthem, in Welsh, and it would tear your heart out, to hear her. She told me that, seeing what I did, she thought "Well, if she can do it, I can." And she wasn't insulting me, she just saw someone being prepared to have a go – singer or not, and decided she would too. She'd never sung in public, before that evening. The difference was – my goodness, she could sing.
A shame you missed out on the Royal music nights, Eamonn, you'd have been welcomed as an asset and addition to the craic. And a shame they faded away.
They might be revived? We had some really good nights, usually ending in a 'stramash' of everyone who wanted to, joining in with….something ….something rousing to send us home with.
Memories!

Calif. DMV Offices Could Reopen In May
Filed Under:California DMV, coronavirus California DMV
LOS ANGELES (CBSLA) – The California DMV hopes to begin reopening its offices by the end of May as the state prepares to ease stay-at-home orders.
FILE — A DMV worker speaks with a man who did not have an appointment at an appointment desk in front of the DMV building, with a cone used to implement social distancing, on March 23, 2020 in Los Angeles. (Getty Images)
DMV Director Steve Gordon told reporters Tuesday that field offices could begin opening this month by appointment only, according to the Sacramento Bee.
The reopening process would then continue in phases, with more and more services being offered.
Gordon says customers would be required to wear face masks, and the DMV would limit seating and capacity, the Bee reports.
California's approximately 170 DMV field offices have been closed since March 27. Customers have been forced to take care of things like vehicle title transfers or complex vehicle registration renewals online.
As a result of the coronavirus, the Department of Homeland Security pushed back the REAL ID deadline a full year, from October of 2020 to October 2021. The California DMV had faced a surge of customers in recent months due to those REAL ID requirements.
The California DMV last month extended driver's licenses that were due to expire during the pandemic. Licenses for drivers younger than 70 that would have expired between March and May will now be valid through May 31, 2020.

Henry Van Dyke, Jr. (1852 - 1933) was an American clergyman, as well as an educator and author. The story of Little Red Tom was originally published in "Days Off and Other Digressions" in 1907 by Charles Scribner's Sons. This is the tragic but very poetic and lovely story of an anthropomorphic tomato, "growing up" in a garden.

Entire Kotel is 'danger zone': archaeologist
A large chunk of stone dislodged from the Kotel at the mixed-gender prayer section on July 23.
Yonatan Sindel/Flash90
After a large stone fell from the Western Wall on Monday, an Israeli archaeologist declared the holy site's entire plaza a "danger zone."
Other stones "could immediately fall" and hurt people, Zachi Dvira told The Times of Israel. He is completing a Ph.D. on the archaeology of the Temple Mount.
The boulder that fell Monday morning at one of the sight's areas designated for egalitarian mixed prayer weighed about 220 pounds, according to Israel Radio. It missed all onlookers but landed close to a female worshipper.
"I didn't hear or feel anything until it landed right at my feet," Daniella Goldberg, 79, told Hadashot TV news. She said that she "tried not to let the incident distract me from my prayers."
Israel "doesn't do proper preservation [of the site] because of politics," Dvira said, arguing that the controversy surrounding the egalitarian prayer area has prevented proper upkeep.
While the egalitarian section has been closed since the incident, he believes visitors should stand a few feet back from the wall in all of its sections, for safety reasons. He noted that several rocks from the Temple Mount's other three supporting walls have fallen in recent years. The rock that fell Monday was broken in two from moisture created by the plants in the wall.
"It's a matter of life or death," Dvira said.
In 2004, large pieces of Western Wall stone fell during Yom Kippur, injuring one worshipper.
The Western Wall's official rabbi weighed in on Monday's event, noting it happened the day after Tisha B'Av, during which Jews mourn the historical destruction of the First and Second Temples.
"This is an unusual and most rare incident that has not occurred for decades," said Rabbi Shmuel Rabinovitch. "The fact that this powerful incident happened a day after the 9th of Av fast, in which we mourned the destruction of our temples, raises questions which the human soul is too small to contain, and requires soul-searching."


Now, it has to be said that Ziggy is really a bit of a nutter. Maybe that's a bit harsh but he does have this habit of…..
Hang on a minute though. First, I should tell you about how he came to be here at "Xerika".
About a year ago, the humes were going off on some trip or other for a couple of weeks and they'd taken Sammy and Rory (my and Poppy's dads) to be looked after by some hume friends. Our dads really liked going there as these other humes had a dog called Rosy, who was apparently a good laugh and fancied Rory like crazy. Rory felt the same way about her and I've heard the humes say he used to write love poems to her. Personally, I think that's daft and also too soppy for words.
Anyway, the night before the humes set off on their trip -.
ZIGGY: Not writing about me by any chance, are you?
BUSTER: Er, yes, I am as it happens.
ZIGGY: Perhaps it would be appropriate if I took up the story myself at this juncture.
BUSTER: Eh? Oh yes, right. Whatever you say, Zig. It's your story after all.
ZIGGY: My thoughts precisely, old chap.
Hello, readers. Ziggy here. Now what's the young ragamuffin been saying? Hmm… Bit of a nutter, eh. I shall return to this point later.
In the meantime, it was the night before the humes set off on their trip and it was absolutely lashing down with rain. How I came to be roaming the hills on my own at that time of night is quite another story but suffice it to say for now, my previous humes had taken me up there a few days earlier and had just left me to fend for myself.
I'd been managing to find bits and pieces of food and wasn't in too bad a shape. But when the rain started, I knew I had to find somewhere dry to shelter. I'm really not at all keen on getting wet and it looked like a serious storm was on its way. There was a hume-house I'd seen the day before and although I'd been avoiding such places, this was an emergency and I made straight for it as fast as I could.
Now I hadn't had a lot of luck recently what with being abandoned and so on, but that night the Dogs seemed to be smiling on me. Firstly, the farm gate was open so I didn't have to mess about trying to find a hole in the fence and getting wetter and muddier in the process. Secondly, there was a nice dry shed with no door next to the hume-house and, thirdly, there was even a basket with a couple of blankets inside it.
I was cold, wet and tired so I quickly got in and settled down for a good sleep.
The next thing I know, I'm aware of some kind of presence - the way you can be sometimes even when you're fast asleep. As soon as I woke up, I got the scent of another dog and it wasn't a pleasant scent either. My eyes focused, and I saw this very wet mangey old mongrel standing looking at me from the shed doorway.
"What the bloody hell do you want?" I barked, jumping to my feet.
I puffed out my chest and did my best snarl, trying to look as mean as I possibly could. He did exactly the same and we stood eyeballing each other for a few moments, snarling and growling, both wondering who was going to lunge first. To be honest, I don't really do violence and it's very rare for another dog to be taken in by my pretence at aggressive posturing but on this occasion, and much to my amazement, the other dog suddenly stopped snarling, muttered something I couldn't make out and promptly disappeared.
I breathed a huge sigh of relief and went to the doorway to make sure the mutt really had gone, edging forward carefully in case this was some kind of trick and he was going to pounce on me when my guard was down. But, sure enough, there was no sign of him and once again I settled back down in the basket feeling a little ashamed that I'd driven off the other dog. He'd been right. There really was more than enough room for both us but I'm always a bit grumpy when I get woken suddenly and -.
Just then, I heard a door opening nearby and an outside light came on. The commotion must have woken the humes. Now I'll be for it. I lay as low as I could in the basket, trying to make myself invisible, and held my breath. I strained my ears, listening to the sound of footsteps going first one way and then another and then, slowly but surely, coming towards the shed itself….
Oops. Sorry folks, but they've just shouted us for supper. I'll carry on with the story another time.


BANGALORE/MUMBAI Tech Mahindra Ltd, India's fifth-largest software service provider, posted a lower-than-expected fourth-quarter consolidated profit on Friday, weighed down by weak margins and higher cost of services.Consolidated profit for the quarter ended March 31, fell 33 percent to 5.90 billion rupees ($91.53 million). bit.ly/2r4LvQCAnalysts on average had expected March-quarter consolidated profit of 7.83 billion rupees, Thomson Reuters data showed.Consolidated margin on earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) fell to 12 percent in the quarter from 16.7 percent a year earlier.
EBITDA took a $20 million hit which came from the company's exit of a networking business contract, Milind Kulkarni, chief financial officer of the company said.An appreciating rupee in the quarter and a $15 million impact from "re-profiling" some of the company's legacy business also contributed to the fall, Kulkarni added.The company re-negotiated contracts with some of its clients to provide traditional IT services at cheaper rates while clients assured to spend more on automation and artificial intelligence driven services.
The impact of this "re-profiling" on the company's finances will be visible for the next two to three quarters, Kulkarni said.Consolidated total tax expenses surged 28 pct to 2.32 billion rupees, while cost of services jumped 14.7 percent.


It's look back at the year time again. Every New Year I set myself a challenge for the year ahead. Last year I set two challenges, one large, one small. One I achieved and one I failed.
I'll start with the one I failed on. It was to play chess at least once a week. On January 1st 2015 when I set it I thought it was small but would be good for me. Because my husband worked away during the week I reckoned it would be a skoosh to play my phone. I enjoy playing chess and with my phone set to easy I could even be assured of a win. In the first couple of months I did play, but there is something quite demoralising about sitting alone on a wet, dark February night before a log fire, playing a Blackberry at chess. I gave up, there seemed no point to the challenge and I never regretted the decision to quit.
The second challenge was greater and harder – I would not buy a book for myself in 2015. This might not seem hard for most folk but I am a confirmed biblioholic. I can't stop buying books! At the beginning of 2015 I had a whole bookcase filled with books I had bought over many years and never read (I have more in another bookcase, but more of that later). Over the course of the year I would work my way through the bookcase and use the local library.
I am happy to say I did succeed in not buying any books (ebooks included) for myself, although I did buy a few gifts and download one free ebook to allow me to take part in a Global Reading Salon event.
So how big a challenge was this really? It was huge! So difficult. The first thing to happen was I attended two great lectures at my mountaineering club. The first was given by John Allen, about the Cairngorm Mountain Rescue Team. His book Cairngorm John sounded brilliant but I couldn't buy it. Luckily one of the other club members owned a copy and loaned it to me.
The second lecture was given by hill runner Manny Gorman. This was a worse situation because Manny is a friend, I really wanted to buy his book. I had to apologise to him and explain the situation. He came up with the solution. My novel Ways of the Doomed was due to be published in June 2015. We would swap books. Perfect.
This leads me onto the main problem I had. Many of my friends are writers who, like me, were launching books in 2015. I wanted to support them as they supported me but couldn't buy their books. I leave this year with a list of books I must buy from these friends.
Everyone has been very understanding of my challenge. Many people bought me books as gifts, other loaned me books. My local library has been a saviour providing me with much needed research books and new releases I couldn't live without.
I have to admit that I haven't finished all the books I took from the bookcase during the year. The larger tomes like Howard Zinn's A People's History of the United States and Alan Bennett's Untold Stories are at my bedside but are ongoing reads along with shorter works. I consider this challenge to be a success.
In 2016 my reading challenge will be to work my way through the rest of these books and my 'Want to Read' list in Goodreads, (including some of the books from other shelves) but for now I will be heading out when the bookshops open in January and I will buy myself a book.

When we last visited brewing the best possible coffee cheaply, many of you were amazed we didn't mention the AeroPress. Check out this photographic guide to see what the fuss is about.
Lifehacker reader Richard wrote in to share a step by step AeroPress photo guide his friend had put together on Flickr. If you're curious whether the $25 AeroPress is worth the hassle, these pictures are a pretty good gauge. The device is mechanically simple, with a plunger forcing boiling water through the compressed grounds in a filter at the end of a tube. It's like a hybrid of a French press and a hand-powered espresso machine.
Many of your fellow readers swear by it, and this editor was impressed enough to order one. Because, really, how can you go wrong with a coffee maker made by the same company behind the world-record holding flying disc? Check out the guide on using the AeroPress at the link below to see it in action. The AeroPress is $25, and comes with enough filters for a year of daily use. Bulk replacement filters are a penny a piece. Thanks Richard!

Q: Difference between reference by argument or reference by parameter? I'm wondering if there is any difference between passing an object reference as a parameter or as an argument. Is the code below equivalent? Is there situations where I should use one or the other?
void foo(Object &object){
    object.update()
}

 Object object
 foo(object)

VS
void bar(Object *object){
     object->update()
}

Object object
bar(&object)

A: You seem a bit confused. None of your examples pass by value. First example passes by reference, the second passes by pointer.
The main differences are:
Pass by value foo(Object object): the function gets a copy of the argument and cannot change the original.
Pass by reference foo(Object& object): the function gets a reference (not copy) to the original object and can modify it. References cannot be "un-bound", they always refer to a valid object (with certain exceptions which are usually bugs).
Pass by pointer foo(Object* object): as passing by reference, except it is valid for the pointer to not refer to anything (it can be nullptr which is useful if you need to signal that).

A: When you take by reference and the function can be inlined, the compiler is - theoretically - not required to generate the address of the instance. Depending on your type, unary prefix operator&() might do more than just returning this. Also, it's valid for a pointer to be nullptr, you should check for that (or use gsl's not_null).

«Мозкови́й шторм» (або «злива ідей», ґенерування ідей, ) — популярний метод висування творчих ідей у процесі розв'язування наукової чи технічної проблеми, сеанси якого стимулюють творче мислення.

Автор креативної техніки, що отримала назву мозковий штурм — Алекс Осборн (1888—1966)— відомий американський діяч в галузі реклами. Метод запропоновано у 1953 році.

Основні правила мозкового штурму такі: — у групу генераторів ідей включають фахівців різних спеціальностей (4…12 чол.); — основна мета групи — висловити максимальну кількість ідей;на формулювання кожної окремої ідеї відводять 2…3 хв; — при генерації ідей критика заборонена; — штурм продовжується 20…40 хв; — у групу експертів включають фахівців з питання, яке розглядається; вони виконують аналіз ідей, при якому необхідно з кожної ідеї отримати раціональне зерно; — якщо задача не вирішена, штурм повторюють з іншим складом групи генераторів ідей.

Склад групи для «мозкового шторму»
Для проведення сеансу комплектують спеціальну групу з представників науково-дослідних, конструкторських, виробничих та інших підрозділів фірми — переважно від 6 до 10 чол. Призначають голову групи, який добре обізнаний з технікою застосування методу «М.ш.». До групи, як правило, входять 1-2 чол., які взагалі не обізнані з проблемою і є спеціалістами з інших галузей науки і техніки.

Сеанси «мозкового шторму»

Сеанс здійснюється в два етапи. На першому допускається (й навіть заохочується) висування навіть безглуздих, як на перший погляд ідей, що їх записують, як правило, на магнітну стрічку всі без винятку за принципом: що більше ідей, то краще. Критикувати висловлені ідеї забороняється, тому що передчасне оцінювання ідей може вбити творчий ентузіазм, особливо у неспеціалістів. Допускається уточнення та комбінування ідей.

На другому етапі всі висунуті ідеї уважно вивчають висококваліфіковані спеціалісти-експерти й оцінюють за допомогою спеціальних таблиць критеріїв, розроблених заздалегідь. Більшу частину висловлених пропозицій відкидають, а ті ідеї, які найбільшою мірою відповідають усім критеріям, передають на розробку і впровадження у виробництво.

Ефективність методу «мозкового шторму» зменшується, якщо в групі є сильна особа, що домінує над іншими, якщо недостатня кваліфікація учасників або якщо їх дуже багато.

Q: Categorisation of incoming by Regex arouse : Application_NewMail : Byte Val Mismatch I am working for the VBA Macros of Outlook 2010 to filter and categorize incoming emails into different folders. The rule is mentioned in the target
When it comes to the implementation and testing, it does prompting error messages boxes instead of successful filtering. Would you please tell me what section under default call Application_NewMail shall proceed ?
Target :
extract words within [this Bracket]

Subject : [ABC]      --> create inbox folder ABC
Subject : [CMX]      --> create inbox folder ABC
Subject : CMX      --> create inbox folder CMX
Subject : INC000000156156      --> create inbox folder INC and sub-folder  INC000000156156

Programming Language : VBA Macro
Outlook Version : 2010
Here is my code and I have no clue on how to create folders if empty and assign email to the folder :
Private Sub Application_NewMail()

    Dim olFld As Outlook.MAPIFolder
    Set olFld = Outlook.Session.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox)
    olFld.Items.Sort "[ReceivedTime]", False
    Dim olMail As Outlook.MailItem
    Set olMail = olFld.Items.GetFirst
    MyNiftyFilter olMail
End Sub

Private Sub MyNiftyFilter(Item As Outlook.MailItem)
    Debug.Print Item
    Debug.Print Item.Subject

    Dim Matches As Variant
    Dim RegExp As New VBScript_RegExp_55.RegExp
    Dim Pattern As String

    Dim Email_Subject As String

    Pattern = "(([\w-\s]*)\s*)"

    Email_Subject = Item.Subject

    With RegExp
        .Global = False
        .Pattern = Pattern
        .IgnoreCase = True
    Set Matches = .Execute(Email_Subject)
    End With

        If Matches.Count > 0 Then

        End If

    Set RegExp = Nothing
    Set Matches = Nothing
    Set Item = Nothing

End Sub

A: You either use ItemAdd event https://stackoverflow.com/a/58428753/4539709 or fix your NewMail to simply
Private Sub Application_NewMail()
    Dim Item As Outlook.MailItem
    MyNiftyFilter Item
End Sub

The NewMail event fires when new messages arrive in the Inbox and before client rule processing occurs. If you want to process items that arrive in the Inbox, consider using the ItemAdd event on the collection of items in the Inbox. The ItemAdd event passes a reference to each item that is added to a folder.

A: You Application_NewMail() sub declares but never initializes the Item variable. Use NewMailEx event instead -it passes the new message entry id, whcih you can use to call Application.Session.GetItemFromID.

Q: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'reposition') at MatSelect.eval [as _scrollStrategyFactory] Running unit test for component but keep getting error:

Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'reposition') at
MatSelect.eval [as _scrollStrategyFactory]

I have imported MatSelectModule and MatOptionModule in imports of spec file.
At the same time I keep getting error:

[object ErrorEvent] thrown

A: In my case I was able to find the problem:
I had a wrong module imported:
import { Overlay } from '@angular/cdk/overlay';

After deleting it from the imports, the error was gone.
How I found this solution?
I opened the url of karma localhost:9876 parallel in Firefox. Surprisingly it showed me an complete different error message, but with more infos:
TypeError: overlay.ScrollStrategies is undefined
parallel, the chrome showed not such a detailed error message.
So I rethought my debugging strategy and started to scan my code for "overlay". So I found this useless import and it fixed my error.

Our project team was treated to lunch today at the World War 2-themed 100th Bomb Group, which overlooks one of the runways of the Cleveland airport. I was glad to have planned ahead and brought my camera with me, as a pair of vintage WW2 fighters are on display outside the restaurant. This is the P51 Mustang; the other is a P47 Thunderbolt.
I had just been directly across the street from an active airport runway.
I was fairly certain that the next chapter of my day would be a free trip to Gitmo with a bag over my head, but the officer completely surprised me by flashing his Nikon D90, and thus it was that we struck up a chat about our shared hobby. We talked about the quality of the light (he preferring bluer skies, I appreciating the evenness that an overcast sky provides at midday) and I explained the whole 365 project idea to him, which he seemed to find genuinely interesting.
We each went on our way and I drove back to work, a bit perplexed, but not unhappily so.

UNAMID Ends its Mandate on 31 December 2020
Khartoum, 30 December 2020— On 22 December 2020, The UN Security Council unanimously adopted resolution 2559 which ends UNAMID's mandate on 31 December 2020. This was the culmination of a sustained process of consideration of the situation in Sudan and Darfur, including developments related to the peace process and the establishment and progress made by the transitional Government of Sudan in its quest to address the conflict in Darfur.
This latest decision of the Security Council means that Thursday 31 December will mark the end of UNAMID's mandated operations in Darfur. The last patrols, programmatic and other mandated tasks will take place on the same day.
As of 1 January 2021, UNAMID's troops and police personnel will focus on providing security for the Mission's drawdown activities, personnel and assets. UNAMID will have a period of six months to undertake the drawdown, which will be conducted in a phased manner. This will involve repatriating troops, their vehicles and other equipment, separation of international and national staff as well as a sequential closure of Mission's team sites and offices and handing them over to designated entities in line with United Nations rules.
This process should result in the withdrawal of all uniformed and civilian personnel from Sudan by 30 June 2021, except for a liquidation team that will finalise any residual issues and complete the administrative closure of UNAMID.
With UNAMID ceasing all its mandate-related activities which have been centred on supporting the peace process, protection of civilians, including facilitation of delivery of humanitarian assistance and supporting the mediation of intercommunal conflicts, the Government of Sudan will fully assume its primary role for addressing all the issues in these areas. The end of UNAMID's mandate and its departure from Sudan does not mean the end of the international community's support to Sudan. Indeed, UNITAMS and the United Nations Country Team will continue to support the Government of Sudan in addressing its multiple challenges related to security, political and economic challenges.

The option premium (hereafter, the premium) is also called as the price of an option. The buyer of the call or put option has the right but not obligation to buy or sell currency, respectively. Therefore, the premium is the price of having a choice.
In fact, for both types of options, call or put options, the premium is paid at the time of buying these options (actually agreed to be paid, because it's credited or debited two working days following obtaining an options contract.) The premium is expressed in dollars per unit of currency.
Now you know why the premium is called the option price: you pay the premium upfront when you get a call or put option. You can look at the premium as a sunk cost (a cost that already incurred and cannot be recovered), especially when exercising or not exercising your right to buy or sell currency.
However, as some of the upcoming numerical exercises will show that, especially in speculation, the premium is not a sunk cost when it comes to calculating your profit or payoff.
When you look at the financial media, such as the Wall Street Journal, you'll see that the premium is expressed in so-called pips. (In finance, a pip is 1/100th of one percent.) When you read about, for example, the premium of a call option being 3.94 per euro on the dollar-euro exchange rate, it means that you have to pay for each euro $0.0394 as a premium.
Option premiums aren't the same for all currencies or maturities. The valuation of an option is mathematically complex. A number of variables, such as the forward rate, the current spot rate, the strike price, the time to maturity, the volatility of currencies, and the home and foreign interest rates are included in the valuation of foreign exchange options.
The table summarizes the characteristics of foreign exchange options. The buyer or the holder of a call or put option pays the premium for having a choice between exercising and not exercising the option.
While the seller or the writer of a call or put option receives and keeps the premium, he has obligations toward the buyer of the option, if the buyer decides to exercise the option.
In the case of a call option, these obligations imply that, once the buyer decides to exercise the option, the writer has to sell to the buyer of the call option a specified amount of currency at the specified strike price.
In the case of a put option, once the buyer decides to exercise the option, the writer has to buy from the buyer of the put option a specified amount of currency at the specified strike price.


I am a baseball guy.
That's why I am one of the few people actually watching this year's World Series between the Royals and Giants (even though TV ratings are at an all-time low again).
I don't have dog in the hunt in this series (I'm an Angels fan), but I do enjoy the excitement of a well-played game and thought Kansas City's five-run bottom of the fifth in Game Two was post season drama at its' best.
That is until Hunter Strickland decided to start acting like a baby.
After giving up a home run to Omar Infante (the fifth Strickland has allowed in this post season so far), the San Francisco reliever began jawing with Royals catcher Salvador Perez, who was on base when Infante went deep over the left field wall.
No one (including Perez) could figure out what the fuss was all about, but the incident brought the entire Royals team out of the dugout, and nearly started a brawl.
Almost immediately, TV commentators, bloggers, and fans on social media began a discussion of one of my least favorite parts of my favorite game: baseball's 'unwritten' rules.
Did Infante take too long to admire his home run?
Did he take too long to round the bases?
Did Perez celebrate too much when he doubled earlier in the previous at bat?
Was he staring at Strickland from second base?
It turns out, none of that contributed to Strickland blowing a gasket.
It simply a case of the reliever yelling at himself for yet another playoff gopher ball, which Perez mistook for something being shouted at him.
My emotions got to me. Miscommunication between us I guess. I was frustrated with myself mostly. I let the team down. It was miscommunication. No hard feelings toward anyone. I want to handle it a little bit better. I was pretty frustrated with myself. I don't know if he thought I was yelling at him. No, I was just frustrated with myself. I don't speak Spanish so I don't know what he said.
Is that actually what happened? Some people are skeptical.
But the immediate rush to the 'unwritten' rule book is yet another reason why baseball is losing popularity across the country.
If guys want to celebrate a big moment, let 'em. If you're a pitcher and you don't like it, here's an idea: get 'em out next time. That will shut 'em up!
If you're a hitter and don't like a pitcher fist pumping when he strikes you out, get a hit next time.
Can you imagine players in the NFL (which IS the most popular game in the land these days) not celebrating a fumble recovery, sack, interception, touchdown run/catch, or field goal?
Baseball players need to grow up and realize that celebrating an accomplishment is not meant as a sign of disrespect to another player.
What's next? Asking fans not to cheer a three-run homer because it might hurt a pitcher's feelings?
Last year, I read a great book, 'The Baseball Codes - Beanballs, Sign Stealing, and Bench-Clearing Brawls: The Unwritten Rules of America's Pastime' by Jason Turbow with Michael Duca, that goes in depth on the culture of the game and the sometimes silly incidents that still happen today because of these archaic codes. It's a great read for anyone who considers themselves to be a baseball fanatic.
3. When hit by a pitch, don't rub the mark.
And that is a very, very partial list.
I know baseball will be working very hard this off season at improving the game by speeding up play, but someone needs to go much deeper than than and change the culture that creates these 'unwritten' rules.
That's something I would cheer for, and I don't care whose feelings I hurt!

CBGB defined an era
By Piper Gourley
The end of the 1960s brought an end to hippie musical stylings and spurred a phenomenal new wave of musical genres. From the rubble of the love-era tunes came new styles of rock and pop, including pure punk music. But where did these wild, noisy, fresh, in-your-face punk bands get their start?
The purpose of CBGB
I'll give you a hint: it wasn't in a concert hall. Punk groups turned to smaller, more inclusive musical venues to perform. One such venue was the historic CBGG. In fact, many hold the opinion that the CGBG was where genuine punk music was born. So, what is CBGB?
Put simply, CBGB was a music club in Manhattan Village. Founded in 1973 at 315 Bowery (a former biker bar), CBGB's owner, Hilly Kristal, hoped to showcase an uber-specific musical style: country. The club's full name was CBGB & OMFUG, which stood for (Country, Bluegrass, and Blues & Other Music For Uplifting Gormandizers).
Kristal was determined to feature CBGB bands with original, unique music…yet the result of his efforts wasn't exactly what he expected. Rather than booking country acts, Kristal welcomed a new wave of American stars, intent on producing a fresh type of music: punk.
Where were these punk stars coming from? Many classic rockers were sick of the disco age. They were eager to produce tunes that put a fresh spin on classic rock. Punk/art-rock was birthed from this desire. After all, what's more rocker than the intense vocals and wild instrumentals associated with punk?
Launching new genres of American music
While Kristal was originally eager to showcase country music, he wasn't disappointed with the talent that came through CBGB. Many musical acts were hardly known before performing at Kristal's club, yet the impression they left on CBGB's patrons was long-lasting.
CBGB became the place for emerging punk stars. It was the venue where many of today's famous musicians rocked their way into the industry. CBGB was the perfect venue for the punk scene because it was a spot where stars to express their full individuality onstage without limitations (except, of course, playing only original music).
So long as they wrote their tunes and carried their own equipment, these punk rockers could go full dark, no stars. Fresh audiences ate it up.
This tantalizing opportunity drew in future stars such as Patti Smith, Talking Heads, Blondie, Misfits, Joan Jett, The Dead Boys, and the Ramones. At CBGB, these rockers didn't have to concern themselves with catering to a soft audience.
The earliest era of punk
When the Ramones hit the CBGB stage, the audience was in awe. After the hippie era, the leather-clad stars of the Ramones were a culture shock. However, those who attended CBGB came to expect this musical style: punk, rock, and everything in between.
As the 1970s progressed, CBGB earned a reputation as the heart of the New York punk scene. Hard punk hit the stage in the 1980s, and CBGB became the spot to go to bask in the glory of the aggressive genre. The venue hosted everyone from Patti Smith to Bad Brains, providing a space for strange and spectacular performers to define the new era.
CBGB earned a reputation as the heart of the New York punk scene
Despite hosting popular bands like Green Day in the 1990s, the venue was forced to close its doors in 2006 due to a rent dispute. Patti Smith played a killer closing show. The loss of the venue was a slap in the face to those who witnessed the punk genre evolve within its walls. However, it's impossible to erase the impact of the historic musical joint.

Can Germany Save Deutsche Bank? Here's How You Should Invest
Deutsche Bank could be just the beginning of overseas banks failing as the German government grapples with ways to save the sputtering institution.
Updated Jul 8, 2016 10:42 AM EDT
Deutsche Bank (DB - Get Report) shares dropped to fresh new lows this week following its failure in the Federal Reserve's stress test as well as a question as to whether Germany will bail out the bank. The imminent outcome for Deutsche Bank could be bankruptcy and the world could have to bear the brunt of the fallout from all of the complicated derivatives that are held by the bank.
Deutsche's outstanding derivatives exposure is 20-times the German GDP and fives-times the Eurozone GDP.
Among all of the chaos, Deutsche's head of currencies trading and emerging-markets debt trading, Ahmet Arinc, has left the company, the most recent negative news to impact the banks' financial status. Traders slammed the stock by more than 6% during that trading session, to touch intraday lows of about $12.50 after which the stock recovered marginally to close at $12.97.
Bailout in the Works?
The latest bank that might require a bailout is the Italian lender Banca Monte dei Paschi di Siena, the worlds' oldest bank. The European Central Bank warned that the Italian bank is holding dangerously high levels of bad debt.
Italy wants a bailout for Monte Paschi, but the Germans are opposing any such move. Wolfgang Schaeuble, the German Finance Minister said recently that Italy intends to stick to the banking-union rules, as was conveyed to him by his Italian Counterpart, Pier Carlo Padoan.
However, Italy did not wait before hitting back at Germany and it came from none other than the Italian Prime Minister, Matteo Renzi.
Renzi said that "the difficulties facing Italian banks over their bad loans are miniscule by comparison with the problems some European banks face over their derivatives." He reminded the Germans that there were other European banks which had much bigger problems than Monte Paschi. He was obviously referring to Deutsche Bank.
"If this non-performing loan problem is worth one, the question of 'derivatives' at other banks, at big banks, is worth one hundred. This is the ratio: one to one hundred," Renzi said, per Reuters.
More Troubles Ahead for Deutsche?
The bank is likely to lose its' place in the STOXX 50 index, according to analysts at Societe Generale. Deutsche will face renewed selling pressure as the index funds will have to reposition themselves, after the change, which is more than likely to bring about a fresh round of selling. According to a statement by the IMF, Deutsche is now the most dangerous bank in the world.
How You Should Respond: Gold?
As the bond king, Jeff Gundlach, said this week, "things are shaky and feeling dangerous" and that he's not selling gold. Regarding the European banking crisis, the Gundlach added: "Banks are dying and policymakers don't know what to do. Watch Deutsche Bank shares go to single digits and people will start to panic... you'll see someone say, 'Someone is going to have to do something'."
Gundlach also added that "gold remains the best investment amid fears of instability in the European Union and prolonged global stagnation, as well as concerns over the effectiveness of central bank policies," reports Reuters.
Following Brexit, tensions are running high among the remaining members of the EU, as seen in the spat between Germany and Italy. Due to the earlier hard stance of the Germans, it is likely that any move to bailout Deutsche will face considerable resistance from all of the member nations. If allowed to fail, Deutsche will cause a crisis many times over that of which Lehman Brothers did.
Americans need to pay attention to this European financial crisis because it could spread here.
Gold remains the asset to invest in, as I have been advising my subscribers for a long time now. Deutsche Bank is failing and not even the ECB may not able to stop its plunge into oblivion.

Prev: Saratoga Springs up to Long Lake, NY.
It rained throughout the morning, and I was content to stare at the rain and nap. My sore throat and runny nose seemed right with the rain. It let up at 1:00, so we went to the Adirondack Museum. $12 each to get in with coupons. There are 23 buildings, and Karen spent 1½ hours in building 1: Boating.
History of boats up here. Evolution of paddles, of motors, of boat designs, and so on. I would have loved it, except for the stuffy head, dripping nose, aching throat, and so on. I had to keep going outside to thaw out. The building was kept too cold for my comfort normally, and certainly with a cold. But there are plenty of Adirondack chairs scattered around. I dragged myself to a few other sights in this site, but wasn't really up to appreciating them.
On the way back to the motel, we stopped at Buttermilk Falls. A Bostonian on the beach at sunset last night said that they were magnificent. These falls feed Long Lake from the one just upstream. It was interesting to see a smooth lake tumble a couple of dozen feet down to the next, but they were hardly spectacular.
Buttermilk Falls fall short on an impressiveness scale, but it's a nice transition between layers of lake.
So we went to the Long View Lodge for dinner. Good food, but I couldn't taste a thing. I decided to try sweating the cold out of me. I wore plenty of clothes to bed, and woke several times drenched. But I was not hot nor sweating when I woke the last couple of times. Nor did I have that pleasant fever-broke feeling. Oh, well.


Importantly, PRA was found to be equallly safe when compared with a traditional transabdominal laparoscopic adrenalectomy.
Individuals have two adrenal glands each shaped like a triangle, with one siting atop each kidney. Each gland is comprised of two parts, an outer layer called the adrenal cortex, and the center of the gland, called the adrenal medulla. The adrenal cortex makes important hormones including steroids that balance the water and salt in the body and help maintain normal blood pressure. The adrenal medulla makes catecholamines, the hormones epinephrine (adrenalin), norepinephrine, and dopamine.
Although individuals have two adrenal glands, only one normal gland is needed to provide adequate hormonal function. Where both glands must be removed, patients must take steroid supplements of cortisone and hydrocortisone.
Posterior retroperitoneoscopic adrenalectomy (or PRA) requires the patient to lie face down on the operating table. The surgeon will then place a small, lighted camera into the back/flank side through a series of small incisions. This allows the surgeon to view and access the adrenal glands. Small surgical tools are used to remove the entire adrenal gland containing the tumor or, if possible, only a portion of it.
Transabdominal laparoscopic adrenalectomy If patients are not good candidates for PRA, the surgery is performed laparoscopically through the abdomen using a camera and small instruments.
Hand-assisted surgery - a hybrid between a fully laparoscopic and open procedure requiring 3-4 incisions that enable the surgeon to insert his/her hand along the small laparoscopic incisions. This method allows for the adrenal gland to be more easily manipulated while still maintaining the operation as a laparoscopic one.
Once a diagnosis has been made, the patient has a surgical consultation to determine if surgery is required or whether the condition can be safely monitored without surgery. If an adrenal tumor is identified as an incidental finding (typically found during an unrelated medical procedure), it is critically important that the patient be evaluated to ensure the tumor is not releasing excess adrenal hormones. Imaging studies of the adrenal glands and the tumor are performed and assessed by surgeons who are experts in the evaluation of adrenal masses.
CT scans and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) produce high-resolution three-dimensional (3-D) images of the adrenal glands and are used to assess anatomical structures and reveal abnormalities. Other imaging studies may be performed to determine if the adrenal mass is "functional" (over-secreting hormones) with the goal of minimizing exposure to radiation and any patient discomfort.
Unparalleled surgical expertise in the treatment of adrenal masses - UCSF is a high volume tertiary referral center for adrenal surgery. Our world class surgeons frequently see patients other institutions turn away as too risky or complex to operate on. Our surgical teams also see patients with rare tumors and syndromes requiring extensive diagnostic work-up.
State-of-the-Art Procedures - We offer patients procedures such as PRA where surgery is done through small back incisions. Because the adrenal glands are found above each kidney, the surgeon does not need to move organs out of the way in the abdomen such as the spleen, liver, pancreas and colon. The patient has a faster operation with fewer risks, less blood loss, minimal scarring, less post-operative pain, and a faster recovery.
Reputation For Excellence - UCSF Medical Center was ranked among the top 10 Adult Diabetes & Endocrinology Hospitals in the U.S. for its 2018 survey. The multidisciplinary endocrine surgery and oncology teams at UCSF provide seemless expert care in diagnosing and treating patients with adrenal masses, whatever their source.


A ball for each girl – or scrunched up newspaper.
Give each patrol a small bowl of salt, a flat tray or plate and a heap of ice cubes. Patrols construct an "igloo" by sprinkling a bit of salt on to one side of an ice cube before pressing it together with another ice cube. They should stick together allowing the girls to use ice cubes as building blocks.
Using a toothpick, attach the two large marshmallows together to make Puffy's body and head.
Using royal icing, glue on two jelly bean halves for ears and the M&M for a nose. Snip two short liquorice lengths and glue them in place for the eyes.
Print off a copy of instructions for each patrol and have ingredients already in ziplock bags for each girl. Leaders wander around and make sure girls are ok with the activity and offer assistance where needed.
They are not allowed to stop moving as they will conduct hypothermia. We had the rule you could drop your eggs three times – it breaking on the third time.
Give each patrol a card for each girl containing a different animal that lives on ice's photo and some information. Set out a whole lot of craft materials and get the patrol to make a display of their own choosing – poster, diorama, model etc – to show off their animals and the information they have about them. We also made masks for each animal with the patrols that finished this task a bit earlier than the other patrols.

CSB Releases New Safety Video on Fatal Hot Work Explosion at DuPont Facility in Buffalo; Hot Work: Hidden Hazards Shows Danger of Inadequate Gas Monitoring

CSB Releases New Safety Video on Fatal Hot Work Explosion at DuPont Facility in Buffalo; Hot Work: Hidden Hazards Shows Danger of Inadequate Gas Monitoring Safety Video Follows Release of the CSBs Investigative Report Approved at a Public Meeting Yesterday in Buffalo, New York
Investigation Details:
E. I. DuPont De Nemours Co. Fatal Hotwork Explosion
Washington DC, April 20, 2012 The U.S. Chemical Safety Board (CSB) today released a new safety video detailing a fatal 2010 hot work accident that occurred at the DuPont facility near Buffalo, New York.
The video, entitled Hot Work: Hidden Hazards features a computer animation showing how hot work being conducted on top of a tank led to a deadly explosion that killed one contractor and injured another.
CSB Chairperson Rafael Moure-Eraso said, This is another in our series of safety videos in wide use in industry throughout the world; our hope is that this dramatic depiction will result in greater emphasis in safety during hot work activities like welding and grinding.
In the video, Dr. Moure-Eraso notes that, The tragic explosion at the DuPont facility exposed weaknesses in how process hazards were analyzed and controlled. The result was the death of a welder in a preventable hot work accident. In the video Chairperson Moure-Eraso emphasizes that hot work is often seen as a routine activity, but it can prove deadly if fire and explosion hazards are overlooked.
The 11-minute video details the events leading up to the accident noting thatalthough DuPont personnel monitored the atmosphere above the tank, no monitoring was done to see if any flammable vapor was inside the tank. The CSB investigation found the hot work ignited the vapor as a result of the increased temperature of the metal tank, sparks falling into the tank, or vapor wafting from the tank into the hot work area. The welder died instantly from blunt force trauma, and a foreman received first-degree burns and minor injuries.
CSB Investigator Mark Wingard says in the video, We found that the contractors did obtain hot work permits for welding, but those permits were authorized by DuPont employees who were unfamiliar with the specific hazards of the process and did not require testing the atmosphere inside the tanks.
The CSB released its final report and formal safety recommendation at a news conference and public meeting in Buffalo on April 19.
The video is available to stream or download on www.CSB.gov and may be viewed on the CSBs YouTube channel, USCSB (www.youtube.com/uscsb).
The CSBs safety videos continue to garner awards, including three recent Peer Awards given by the Television, Internet & Video Association of Washington, DC in November 2011. The CSB video program was specifically cited when the CSB was named the 2008 recipient of the American Chemical Societys (ACS) Howard Fawcett Award, honoring outstanding contributions in the field of chemical health and safety, marking the first time the 25-year-old award has been presented to an entire organization.
The CSB is an independent federal agency charged with investigating serious chemical accidents. The agency's board members are appointed by the president and confirmed by the Senate. CSB investigations look into all aspects of chemical accidents, including physical causes such as equipment failure as well as inadequacies in regulations, industry standards, and safety management systems.
The Board does not issue citations or fines but does make safety recommendations to plants, industry organizations, labor groups, and regulatory agencies such as OSHA and EPA. Visit our website, www.csb.gov

My 2005 Hyundai Accent (GLS) isn't a very exciting car. It has the standard shape, style, body, and personality of a typical 4-door sedan of the mid-2000s. I bought it used (in 2012, when it had a fairly low 45,000). I've since doubled that mileage but I've run into zero problems (other than the typical wear and tear-related repairs of tires, brakes, and a battery).
Some of the features I like the most include: The color, which according to Hyundai, is officially called "Kiwi Green" hasn't lost its appeal to me. It stands out in a crowd. It looks good in the sun or on a cloudy day or at night. I've truly never cared that much about car colors but this one has changed my mind. I also like that it can handle being worked hard - long trips, hauling whatever furniture can fit in there (surprisingly a lot), and handling the morning and evening commute on L.A.'S worst (by far) freeway: The stop-and-start-heavy, winding, messy, 710 freeway with its constant 20-years (and counting) perpetual construction and bizarrely misprinted lines and constant barrage of large trucks. I wouldn't expect a little Hyundai to survive unharmed with such a daily punishment but it has.
The only cons are: Its outdated stereo system (with CD only, no iPhone jack or internet capabilities. It's not the car's fault though, being from 2005. But maybe they could have anticipated the possibility of technology advancing and included an auxiliary jack. And it tends to shake when I drive over 70mph, which I shouldn't do anyway.
I liked that the vehicle was good quality and reliable, until it got older. I put over 80,000 miles on it. The vehicle was great on gas, so it saved me a lot of money over time. I always felt safe in the car and that it would get me to my destination without breaking down. The only thing I got tired of was that it wasn't automatic, so when I traveled to bigger cities and would be stuck in rush hour traffic, my foot got worn out. However, I knew the car had a manual transmission when I purchased it, so that's obviously not the fault of the car. Next time around I would recommend getting the automatic version of the car for this reason.
I drove the car across half the country from MN to DC in the middle of July. The seats were toasty whenever we got in because of the heat, but somehow we made it to the East Coast within three days.
I appreciated that the dealership put in a CD player for "free" when I purchased the vehicle. It didn't automatically come with one. I liked the gray color, and it looked great after a nice wash. I liked that the car was on the smaller side, so I could find parking more easily. I never really had to learn to parallel park it except once, when I went to Chicago, and because of its size, I was able to parallel park successfully. I also spent a lot of time using the vehicle to bring my foster kittens to and from medical appointments, (think lots of cat carriers) and never had a problem with space on the inside either.
The car seemed a bit loud at higher speeds (75mph) than I've experienced in other cars. However, that may have just been my perception. The car is about the basics and not fancy, definitely not for a guy trying to show off to a rich girlfriend. I got the key stuck in the ignition once, and they had to reinstall a part, but that was the key, not the car. I should have noticed prior that the key was getting slightly bent, so I could get it replaced.
