3 sought for stealing $60,000 in cash from Bensalem home
By Christie Ileto
BENSALEM, Pa. (WPVI) -- Bensalem police are searching for three young men who burglarized a Bensalem home on the 700 block of Bridgewater Road.
The homeowner's surveillance cameras caught the lawlessness in real time showing one suspect wearing a white hoodie scoping out the residence after the family had left for church Sunday, June 30.
Using a rock to smash out the window, two other burglars wearing all black dart up the back porch stairs and into home.
Detectives say within two minutes, the trio grabbed electronics, including a PlayStation and $60,000 in cash before sprinting away from the home.
"They were in the house for a short period of time, they knew exactly where the money was and exactly where the game module was," said Lt. Robert Bugsch with the Bensalem police.
Police believe this wasn't random and that the brazen bandits not only knew the family but had possibly been inside the home before.
The victim, a single mother of three boys who owns a florist shop in town, wanted to remain anonymous but fears the burglars are no strangers.
"All the evidence points that they knew my family. If you know my family, then I kind of know you and I'd like to know why you would do that?" asked the victim. "I always felt safe in my home. I never questioned it, until someone broke in."
If you recognize the men in that video you're asked to contact the Bensalem Police Department.

Welcome to the Jeffery Lab!
The Jeffery lab studies (1) the molecular and genetic basis of evolutionary change in development and (2) the mechanisms of regeneration.
Evolution of Development
Using the blind and de-pigmented cavefish Astyanax mexicanus, we study the mechanisms of eye degeneration, pigment loss, and the evolution of behavior. The cavefish model has many favorable attributes for these studies, including the existence of a surface dwelling conspecific, which has eyes and pigmentation, but differs substantially from cavefish in its behavioral repertoire, the availability of laboratory culture, molecular, embryonic, and genetic analysis. Recently, the cavefish genome has been sequenced and assembled.
We are interested in determining how and why cavefish have lost their eyes and pigmentation. By genetic and genome approaches, we are analyzing genes associated with quantitative trait loci (QTL) with the objective of finding mutations involved in eye loss, which is a complex genetic trait controlled by about a dozen gene loci. Using this information we address the evolutionary forces involved in eye degeneration. Although many mechanisms may be involved, thus far we have evidence that eye loss is antagonistically linked as a pleiotropic tradeoff with constructive traits, such as taste buds and sensory neuromasts, which are adaptive in the cave environment.
The surface dwelling and cave dwelling forms of Astyanax mexicanus. The cave form has lost eyes and melanin pigmentation. For details see any of our Astyanax publications.
Events during development of the surface fish eye and degeneration of the cavefish eye. See Jeffery (2009) Annual Review of Genetics 43: 25-47 for details.
Expression of the anti-apoptotic chaperone aA-crystallin is downregulated in the cavefish lens. This is thought to be one of the reasons for lens apoptosis and eye degeneration in cavefish. See Ma et al. (2014) for details.
We are also studying the parallel/convergent evolution of eye and pigment regression in different Astyanax cavefish populations that have evolved these traits independently. We have obtained evidence that the loss of melanin pigmentation (albinism) in cavefish is regulated at the first step of melanin synthesis by mutations in the oca2 gene. One of the benefits of blocking melanin synthesis at the oca2 step may be to shunt excess L-tyrosine into the alternative catecholamine synthesis pathway, which is enhanced in albino cavefish.
Regenerative Biology
Using ascidians (tunicates or sea squirts), which are thought to be the sister group of vertebrates, we study the molecular and cellular basis of tissue repair and regeneration. These studies are carried out on the model ascidian Ciona intestinalis, which has a rich of history of research in developmental biology, a sequenced genome, and offers many attractive molecular and genomic tools for studies on regeneration. We have found that distal structures of the adult animal, namely the siphons and brain, regenerate rapidly and with a great deal of fidelity after injury or removal.
The pigmented sensory organs rimming the oral siphon of the ascidian Ciona intestinalis. These organs regenerate rapidly after amputation. See Auger et al. (2010) for details.
Distal regeneration requires the participation of stem cells located in the underlying branchial sac (pharynx), which are induced to proliferate as response to injury, producing progenitor cells that migrate and form a blastema at the wound site. The blastema cells later differentiate into distal tissues, including musculature, nerve cells, and sensory organs. Recent studies have shown that the Notch signalling system is involved in this process.
We have also demonstrated that the capacity to regenerate, which is robust in young adults, gradually fades and finally disappears in old animals. Thus, the Ciona system is also under development as model to address the mechanisms underlying the loss of tissue replacement and regenerative potential during aging. The latter studies are being carried out in a satellite laboratory in the Bell Center of Regenerative Biology and Tissue Engineering at the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole, MA.

I thought this forum was for serious discussions.
Is it my fault you accidentally quoted me?
Where is the ego there, I fail to comprehend how your mistake becomes my ego?
I think it would be fair to say that this insistence on passing blame for your mistakes and then accrediting it to an others ego is in fact very egotistical!
I fail to understand why on earth you would post attempts at contention and inflammatory remarks when they are so confused.
I am sorry if I am misreading this but being addressed as Dear and old fruit and told to calm down seemed designed to get a rise.
I am at a loss as to why?


Retailers think that retail pos systems are only meant to make business operations efficient, precise and smooth. That is true, but through point of sales systems, you can serve your clients well and attain an excellent reputation. One of the ways of improving your business is to make perfect decisions that will propel your business to higher levels. POS can help you to do this by providing you with the best information regarding your business operations and inventories. How do POS systems help you to build a nice reputation to your clients? Find out below.
When serving clients, you should give them individualized services so that they feel that personal touch and consideration from you. Through this, you will win their trust, and you will always have them in your stores shopping regularly. POS systems can help you serve your clients perfectly because they record the address of the client, their contacts and the priority goods that they always buy. You can, therefore, decide to offer free transport, home deliveries and other after sale services that will make the client abide to your services. Through such services, be sure that you will retain them no matter how stiff the competition is.
As a retailer, there are those clients who buy frequently and in large quantities than others. Such people deserve special incentives that will make them speak positive of your and create a nice name for your business in the market. But you wouldnt know who buys in excess and more frequently than the other without proper records. POS for retail can record all the data of every client thereby giving you the knowledge to decide on who deserves reward and who does not.
Before the coming of the POS systems, people used to make use of calculators to do their calculations. A lot of errors used to be made because it was all a manual process. Retailers used to spend extra hours after business hours to analyze business data and inventories of the whole day before going home. Such things compromised the quality of services offered to clients and so many businesses collapsed. Through the POS systems, you will be able to serve clients faster, get direct updates of almost everything in the business and you will also be in a position to manage your business from whichever location you will be.
To conclude, point of sales are meant to promote business expansion through facilitating quality service to customers and through facilitating quality business management. Make sure that you buy the appropriate POS system for your business to ensure that it does not create mishaps during functioning. To ensure that you are buying the perfect machine, ask the seller to test it on your presence. It is important for you to buy reputable brands that are known by many people.

Q: Argument labels '(xml:, url:, encoding:, option:)' do not match any available overloads Went from Swift 2.2 to Swift 3 and now I've gotten stuck in this part of my code:
public func HTML(_ html: String, url: String?, encoding: String.Encoding, option: ParseOption = kDefaultHtmlParseOption) -> HTMLDocument? {
    switch option {
    case .htmlParseUseLibxml(let opt):
        return libxmlHTMLDocument(html: html, url: url, encoding: encoding, option: opt.rawValue)
    default:
        return nil
    }
}
public func HTML(_ html: String, encoding: String.Encoding, option: ParseOption = kDefaultHtmlParseOption) -> HTMLDocument? {
    return HTML(html: html, url: nil, encoding: encoding, option: option)
}

I have various instances where an error appears on line 2 stating:

Argument labels '(html:, url:, encoding:, option:)' do not match any
  available overloads

This is another instance of a similar issue:
public func XML(_ xml: String, url: String?, encoding: String.Encoding, option: ParseOption = kDefaultXmlParseOption) -> XMLDocument? {
    switch option {
    case .xmlParseUseLibxml(let opt):
        return libxmlXMLDocument(xml: xml, url: url, encoding: encoding, option: opt.rawValue)
    default:
        return nil
    }
}
public func XML(_ url: URL, encoding: String.Encoding, option: ParseOption = kDefaultXmlParseOption) -> XMLDocument? {
    if let data = try? Data(contentsOf: url) {
        return XML(xml: data, url: url.absoluteString, encoding: encoding, option: option)
    }
    return nil
}

Error:

Argument labels '(xml:, url:, encoding:, option:)' do not match any
  available overloads

I'd greatly appreciate any help on how to solve this, thanks.

A: The _ in the parameter declaration means that the parameter does not have an argument label so you don't put the label for the argument when calling the method.
Your code should be:
public func HTML(_ html: String, url: String?, encoding: String.Encoding, option: ParseOption = kDefaultHtmlParseOption) -> HTMLDocument? {
    switch option {
    case .htmlParseUseLibxml(let opt):
        return libxmlHTMLDocument(html: html, url: url, encoding: encoding, option: opt.rawValue)
    default:
        return nil
    }
}
public func HTML(_ html: String, encoding: String.Encoding, option: ParseOption = kDefaultHtmlParseOption) -> HTMLDocument? {
    // Change the line below:
    return HTML(html, url: nil, encoding: encoding, option: option)
}

The XML version is basically the same.

Temperature and Power Consumption
GIGABYTE has one of the largest Intel X99 motherboard fleets in the retail market. Instead of leaving just a few models to satisfy their customers, they tend to tailor their segments to better target their end users' needs. GIGABYTE has come out with G1 Gaming, SOC Overclocking, and Ultra Durable lines. While each type of board is specifically targeted towards gamers, overclockers, or power users, all the boards cross over into each other's domains.
Their overclocking boards carry upgraded audio and their gaming boards carry overclocking features, while their main series carries both. However, as you get deeper into their product structure, certain products offer features that don't exist on other lines, and the X99-Gaming 5P is a perfect example of this.
What makes GIGABYTE's second wave of X99 motherboards special isn't their features, but rather the socket. At X99 launch, ASUS figured out that the Intel CPU had more pads than there were pins on the motherboard, and for an unknown reason (maybe they didn't want to rename the socket to LGA2083), Intel decided to dictate that the LGA2011-V3 socket wouldn't have pins for all the CPU pads. Until recently, only ASUS had the socket with extra pins, but now all X99 motherboard manufacturers have motherboards in the market with the extra pins, and the X99-Gaming 5P is one of them.
The X99-Gaming 5 is basically a refreshed model of the X99-Gaming 5 I reviewed a few months ago, but with a few differences. Follow me as I explore the ins and outs of the X99-Gaming 5P.
The specifications of the X99-Gaming 5P are almost identical to that of the X99-Gaming 5 which is being phased out of production. It has a different circuit layout, a wider PCB, a socket selector switch, and enhanced feature positioning compared to its predecessor. What is interesting to note is that GIGABYTE didn't remove anything hardware wise, instead they added.
The X99-Gaming 5P is $309.99 on Newegg and Amazon at the time of this review, which is a bit on the higher side for X99 motherboards. It is cheaper than the X99-Gaming G1 WIFI which is $370, but more expensive than the X99-Gaming 5 which is $264.
Packaging and the Board
The box is simple and the packaging is well done. The board is in an anti-static bad inside its own mini-box.
Accessories include 6x braided SATA6G cables, lighted IO shield, 2-Way SLI bridge, two 3-Way SLI bridges with different spacing options, 4-Way SLI bridge. 2-way CrossFireX bridge, 3-to-1 ESP 8-pin CPU power expander, driver DVD, manuals, GIGABYTE sticker, and G1 Gaming sticker.
I have circled the five fan headers in red and blue. The single CPU fan header circled in red is for PWM fans, and the rest of the four headers are voltage mode fan headers. The aesthetics of the motherboards are quite appealing, especially if you like red. The logos aren't tacky and the colors seem to blend well. GIGABYTE has darkened the color of the PCB markings, so that they are no longer white, but rather gray. The back of the PCB is bare except for a few LEDs for the audio PCB divide.
Side by side the X99-Gaming 5 and the X99-Gaming 5P look almost identical, but there are some major differences. First off the X99-Gaming 5P is wider than the X99-Gaming 5, making it an E-ATX motherboard which will fit in most ATX cases since it isn't longer than ATX. The X99-Gaming 5P has 72 extra pins in its CPU socket compared to the X99-Gaming 5. The heat sink on the PCH is also larger on the X99-Gaming 5P, and the fan headers have been moved which makes for easier connection for case fans. The USB 3.0 front panel header has been moved near towards the 24-pin power socket, which is a very nice move.
While most of the circuitry is the same, the X99-Gaming 5P has a lot of added components to support the features of the new socket with extra pins. An extra switch is also added so users can decide if they want to use the Intel certified socket or the socket with the extra pins. It turns out that those extra pins unlock the ability for higher cache frequency as well as lower required voltage for the IMC during high speed DDR4 overclocks. It isn't apparent whether the new socket is more or less safe for the CPU and with the X99-Gaming 5P it doesn't matter because it carries a switch to disable or enable those pins.
The IO Panel features 6x USB 3.0 (white port is for USB BIOS recovery), 4x USB 2.0 (with power control), PS/2 Keyboard and Mouse ports, RJ-45 1GBit Killer LAN, a gold plated TOSLINK with S/PDIF, and a bracket in case you want to install an M.2 WIFI card.
The PCI-E layout on this motherboard is optimized for multi-GPU configurations. All the PCI-E bandwidth from the CPU reaches the slots, and does so almost without delay. The third and fourth slots are hardwired at 16x (third slot) and 8x (fourth slot). The first slot has its first 8x hard wired to the CPU and the second 8x can be shared with the second PCI-E slot if needed.
You can run cards in multiple configurations, especially when you have a 28-lane CPU installed, and that is why GIGABYTE provides two 3-way SLI bridge offering different slot spacing. A MOLEX receptacle for extra PCI-E power is provided at the bottom of the motherboard and both M.2 slots are between the second and third PCI-E 16x slots. All the PCI-E 1x slots are directly routed to the PCH.
GIGABYTE equipped the X99-Gaming 5P with 10 SATA ports, two of which are shared with the SATA Express and M.2 ports. The four ports labeled sSATA cannot do RAID, while the other six can.
The CPU mode switch allows for users to enable the extra pins in the socket and a USB 3.0 internal header is positioned below the 24-pin connector.
The audio setup on this board is one of the most customizable I have seen, and it is identical to the one on the X99-Gaming G1 WIFI. The ability to replace the amplifier is a really cool feature, and while most won't utilize it, it still provides upgradability. The gold cover on the Creative Core3Di is also a nice touch, and actually contrasts well with the green Nichicon audio capacitors. The switch in the picture allows for gain adjustment.
The VRM is made up of 6 phases, and it's the same as the VRM found on the X99-Gaming 5 and other 6-phase GIGABYTE X99 motherboards. While it might not seem like much, it is more than enough.
The heat sink is one solid piece. The heat sink uses screws and makes good contact with components.
The CPU VRM features a total of 6 phases; each is powered by an integrated power stage, the well-known International Rectifier PowIRstages. There are six high capacity server grade inductors made by Cooper Bussmann. The FP1007R3-R15-R are 0.15uH Flat-Pac series power inductors, they feature 76A saturation current at 25C, this is an extremely high current rating, and will help reduce overall heat around the VRM area. The X99-Gaming 5P uses 9x Nippon Chemicon 10K can-type polymer capacitors each rated at 560uF for a total of 5040uF.
The X99-Gaming 5P is using the International Rectifier IR3580, an 8 phase digital PWM, the latest one that is offered by International Rectifier. GIGABYTE has used the IR3556 for the power stages; each one can output 50A at about 10W and 90% efficiency. The IR3556 is a brand new PowIRstage, it replaces the IR3551.
There are two sets of everything for the DDR4 power on X99, this is because there are two sets of DIMMs on every X99 motherboard. GIGABYTE chose to stay with digital PWM control for all four DDR4 VRMs; the International Rectifier IR3570 is a 3+2 phase digital PWM perfect for this. Two of these PWMs are in use, one on each side of the board. There are four DDR4 VRMs because each set of DIMMs requires a DRAM voltage of 1.2v and a DRAM VPP voltage of 2.5v. The 1.2v rail is the most important, and on this board each set of DIMMs get two phases, each a 40A International Rectifier IR3553. The VPP is powered by a single phase that also uses the IR3553.
Here is the second memory VRM and the VPP VRM is located below the DIMMs.
A single RT8120 is a single phase PWM and it powers a single phase VRM using two Vishay SiRA14 and SiRA18 MOSFETs that control the PCH voltage rail.
The main chip for the audio on the X99 Gaming 5P is the Core3Di chip from creative, the CA0132. It resides under the gold plated EMI shield. The entire audio section is separated from the main PCB where the analog and digital signals are mixed, this makes higher quality analog signals on the audio side easier to attain.
GIGABYTE provides a replaceable operational amplifier; they call this system OP-AMP. The board comes with a Burr Brown (Texas Instruments audio subdivision) OPA2134, the CAP switch next to it reduces gain from 6x to 2.5x for both channels. A Texas Instruments TPS65130 provides up to +/- 15v for the OP-AMP socket. Dual ASM comparators help with the LED lighting modes. The X99 Gaming 5P also provides an amplifier for the front panel audio, the DRV632 from Texas Instruments provides that functionality. There are also 8x Nichicon audio capacitors of varying sizes.
Circuit Analysis Continued
A Qualcomm Killer e2201 gaming NIC is provided. Four of the USB 3.0 ports on the backpanel are routed through a NEC/Rensas D720210 which is a 1-to-4 USB 3.0 hub.
An IDT6V49332 is a clock generator which basically helps out with BCLK overclocking. The iTE IT8792E and at least six linear regulators are used to handle the extra pins in the socket; the CPU Mode switch is hooked up to this IC which digitally enables or disables extra pins.
Dual 128Mbit (16MB) BIOS ROMs are provided along with an IT8951E which allows for the addition of USB BIOS recovery in case DualBIOS doesn't work.
The main SuperIO is an IT8620E which monitors and controls voltage, temperature, and fans. It also provides the PS/2 keyboard and mouse ports on the back. A secondary EC is used, the IT8792E, and it helps the SuperIO. Four nuvoTon NCT3941S provide voltage mode fan control of four headers. Four NXP L04083B switch two PCI-E lanes each from the first PCI-E 16x slot to the second.
The RT8288A provides clean 5v power to the four USB DAC-UP ports which are yellow on the back panel. These ports have the ability to work without any power or with clean 5v power. Some USB DACs don't need USB power, just data, and with this system you can cut the power without cutting the data so it doesn't cause unneeded input noise.
With these X99 GIGABYTE boards, you should really only use the classic mode (gray BIOS) by pressing F2 when you are greeted by the very basic mode upon entrance into the UEFI. From the classic mode, you can access all the settings, including overclocking. While I only have access to the F1 BIOS, the first release for the X99-Gaming 5P, everything worked very well. Bugs from first wave GIGABYTE X99 motherboards, such as the rebooting that occurred with certain USB drives plugged in, have been solved and the UEFI performs as one would expect from a $300 product.
Overall I was impressed by the maturity of this first release UEFI. I do however wish that GIGABYTE would expand fan control, perhaps provide a GUI. When you enable the CPU mode switch, 6 extra voltages become available under the CPU voltage menu.
Only VL4, 5, and 6 should be increased. First start off with 1.44 or 1.45v on VL6 for cache overclocking. VLs will increase by auto rules, so you might not have to change them at all.
EasyTune is the go to program for most novice overclockers and it presents a decent amount of tuning options and monitoring. GIGABYTE also provides other programs through the APP center such as @BIOS, Ambient LED, Cloud Station, Smart Recovery 2, Fast Boot, Smart TimeLock, and SIV.
For more advanced overclockers, GIGABYTE Tweak Launcher (GTL) is much simpler and better.
Killer Network Manager and Creative's Sound Blaster suite are also provided.
Test Setup
A big thanks to Corsair for sponsoring the case, fans, SSD, USB drive, and PSU! A big thanks to Seek for sponsoring the Thermal Camera. You can find my review of the camera here.
This is the new test bench, and it is designed to test every aspect of the motherboard and IO. I have designed it so that the motherboard sits in a case and is cooled by fans always on at a constant rate to keep the conditions similar for all tests. I have cut out part of the case behind the motherboard so I can get thermal images of the back of the PCB where the VRM heat spreads. System and CPU power measurements are now digitally logged.
I am also using a Netgear Nighthawk X4 AC2350 for our network (including wireless AC) tests. The latest M.2, SSD, and USB technologies are also being utilized to test the maximum potential of the motherboards that are being tested.
Overclocking Results
In this section, I will go through overclocking this board.
CPU Overclocking
Max CPU Overclock is found by setting the VCore to 1.5v, Input voltage to 2.1v, cache voltage to 1.15v, booting with a CPU multiplier of 45x and disabling any features that would result in CPU frequency fluctuation. I then proceed into Windows and use software to increase the multiplier; in this case I opted to use GTL.
5.0GHz is the maximum of our CPU on this board and other X99 motherboards. It is clear that CPU overclocking is pretty good for high frequency. Maximum AIDA64 Stable Overclock (BIOS settings below for this):
I was easily able to pull off 4.5GHz on the CPU with 3.2GHz cache and a 2400MHz overclock on my memory manually tuning the UEFI.
Uncore/Cache Overclocking
Boards with the extra pins in the socket can overclock the cache further, on the X99-Gaming 5P I was able to OC the cache to 4.4GHz while the core was 4.6GHz.
CINEBENCH 11.5

AIDA64 Memory
PCMark8 Home Test
3DMark: Cloud Gate
3DMark: Fire Strike
CPU, memory, system, and 3D performance are all very strong and there don't seem to be any issues.
These benchmarks are to find either exceptional performance or flaws, however in this case the X99-Gaming 5P is a solid motherboard.
Anvil SATA6G:
Anvil M.2:
DiskBench USB 3.0:
ixChariot Network Throughput:
IO performance is where I expected it to be, it's a good performer, but not the best. SATA6G storage performance is solid. I expected these scores because of the 2x PCI-E for the M.2 drive. USB performance is very good because the port is directly routed to the PCH.
Audio RMAA 5.5:
I disable all audio features, set the correct bitrates, and then test the audio with a loopback test.
Sound Judgment by Ear: Excellent, really quite good, and the extra volume from the AMP is pretty noticeable. There are 5 ratings for audio: 1. Problems, 2. Okay, 3. Acceptable, 4. Very good, 5. Excellent
System power usage is measured at the AC/DC PSU (the Corsair AX1200i) which I have connected to another system to measure the test system and as a backup I have a wall meter to verify. The CPU power is measured through the 8-pin connector which is hooked up to a hall effect IC which measures current and puts out a voltage in proportion to the current. That voltage is logged by a National Instruments ADC which logs the DC voltage level, which I then convert into current.
Note on Thermal Images: In the temperature section, we use our Seek thermal imaging camera to capture the surface temperatures of major components on the board; I look at the VRM and then all other things that light up the screen. If there is something to worry about then I will state it, otherwise I will just show the hotter running parts of the board for fun. Unless some component is over 80-90C then there really isn't anything to worry about.
All systems will act differently, so I will look for commonalities, such as how far from the VRM the heat spreads through the PCB and the difference in temperature between the front side and backside of the PCB. Keep in mind that the majority of the heat from the VRM goes into the PCB as it is a giant soldered on copper heat sink. A larger difference in temperature between the back and front of the PCB points towards a more effective heat sink.
Thermal Testing at Stock Speeds:
The image on the left is always at idle and the image on the right is at load.
Full frontal.
Up-close of the front of the VRM.
Up-close of the back of the VRM.
Thermal Testing at 4.5GHz Overclocked Speeds:
The VRM components on this motherboard are the same ones GIGABYTE uses on its top of the line overclocking motherboards. Temperatures on the backside never exceeded the temperatures on the front of the motherboard, indicating solid heat sink performance. Even though this is a 6-phase VRM, it performs as well as some 8 and 12 phase VRMs I have seen on other boards.
Board makers can either use high power density or more phases to achieve an overclocking capable X99 motherboard, GIGABYTE has definitely focused on power density. Don't let the fact that the board only has 6 phases faze you (no pun intended); it's enough for any air or water overclock. Anything under 60C is excellent, 60-80C is acceptable, and anything above 80C is a bit worrisome (if at stock).
The X99-Gaming 5P is a really solid Intel X99 motherboard. Being part of the second wave, it has fixes for some of the issues with GIGABYTE's first generation of X99 motherboards. The optimization of feature placement, larger heat sink, and socket with extra pins all provide incentives for the purchase of the new X99-Gaming 5P over its predecessor.
Overall system and IO performance is up to par with the best performing boards. The direct routing of PCH and CPU bandwidth to the slots and ports provides great compatibility and performance. While it has a 6-phase VRM, thermal performance and overclocking is excellent. I would have liked to see some OC features like a POST code display, but OC recovery was exceptional so if it had a POST code you probably wouldn't really need it. The extra pins in the socket and revised DDR trace routing help to increase cache overclocks and decrease the required amount of system agent voltage. While the cache frequency increase might not benefit those on air or water cooling, GIGABYTE is able to guarantee certain DDR4 3333MHz kits work with only XMP enabled, such as those from Corsair.
There are of course some places for improvement, right now the price of the X99-Gaming 5P is a bit on the high-side. The $309.99 price tag reflects the recency of the motherboard's release as well as the hardware required for the extra pins in the socket. I also wish the board came with a 4x M.2 slot, but that isn't a big issue since performance is still very good and the PCI-E lanes saved go towards connectivity and the PCI-E slots.
Overall I was impressed with the feeling of maturity the X99-Gaming 5P provided over its predecessor and other X99 motherboards I have tested. GIGABYTE does provide some premium gaming features, specifically in the audio section. The X99-Gaming 5P has GIGABYTE's top of the line onboard audio, and the replaceable amplifier with gain switch makes it one of the most versatile audio solutions for a motherboard.
Performance (including Overclocking) 93%
The Bottom Line: If you want a dependable Intel X99 motherboard with the latest gaming technologies coupled with solid overclocking performance and the feeling of platform maturity, look no further than the X99-Gaming 5P.

WORD OF MOUTH: MEDIA TAKES ON EPACENTER
EPACENTER Youth Arts & Music Center was conceived and developed by the youth of East Palo Alto. They took the lead, selecting WHY to architect the center's campus unique to their vision, and their needs. The participatory design process resulted in ample space for playful and free expression, alongside state-of-the-art facilities that provide the infrastructures for community and social engagement across the fields of culinary, fine, and musical arts; as well as physical education and dance, full-family support areas and services, and other social and educational activities. Funded by the John & Marcia Goldman Foundation, the development center and its free programs set the stage for current and future generations of youth and their families to continue to imagine, to gather, and to celebrate creativity together.
From our symbiotic collaboration with the East Palo Alto youth, to the design of the space, continue reading to get the scoop on what others are saying about the project.

BUILDING FOR A BETTER TOMORROW
Nadine Rambeau, executive director of EPACENTER, spoke with Modern Luxury Silicon Valley to discuss the new arts and music center, citing her admiration for the youth of Palo Alto and their sustainability-focused vision. The space we ultimately created together stands the test of time for a better tomorrow, actively addressing local environmental issues such as water conservation, responsible land use, and renewable energy.
"What impresses me most about the facility is how cognizant the students were of the need to build for sustainability. They were very serious about that—reclaiming access to sustainable materials and design techniques that would sustain their future, not to mention the fact that they saw that as a need early in the design process. This is something that will keep giving back to their community for generations to come."

FINDING FLOW
Characterized by a balance of both public and private spaces, EPACENTER's unique programmatic flow provides Palo Alto youth and their families with light-filled interiors, plus multiple sites for students to showcase their creativity through stages, sound systems, dance floors and more. Sharing his thoughts on the project with the Nob Hill Gazette, WHY Founder and Creative Director Kulapat Yantrasast describes the result as not just a building — but a village where the community can grow, cultivate and express their creativity.
"EPACENTER's hallmark is its indoor-outdoor flow, with windows that open for ventilation, studios with doors that access the outside, and a courtyard with a large roof for shade. 'I didn't think of it as a building but as a village, a hacienda,' shares WHY Founder Kulapat Yantrasast."
Read more on Kulapat's thoughts here.
CELEBRATING (BIO)DIVERSITY
Paying homage to the distinctly diverse ecology and community of Palo Alto, WHY developed a one-of-a-kind palette for EPACENTER. Using natural materials such as Douglas fir plywood, maple wood, cedar and pine combined with others such as glass and translucent polycarbonate plastic, we brought high-impact architectural aesthetics to life within a high-function, "state-of-the-art building" (as The Mercury News summarized it). The resulting spaces collaborate as a modern nod to the culturally rich Bay Area city, its most compelling storyline being its utility for the youth involved in its overall design from the very start.
Read more of Mercury News's take on the space here.
Born from a partnership with locals, a deep understanding of the community from all its angles was intrinsic to the design process and to the finished project — environmentally, socially, and beyond. With the Center's doors now open and its free art programs in full swing, the future is in the hands of East Palo Alto: its youth, its families, and its inextinguishable creative spirit.

The Canadian Space Agency (CSA) is responsible for advancing the knowledge of space through science and using its discoveries to benefit Canadians and all of humanity. Set up in March 1989, the CSA is an independent federal agency that takes charge of managing all of Canada's civil space-related activities.
Space exploration: Taking part in astronomy and planetary studies, astronaut missions, as well as scientific research in space (execution and support).
Space utilisation: Earth observation by the collection of spatial data and satellites.
David Saint-Jacques was born on 6th January 1970 in Quebec City, Canada. Today, he is married and has three children. He also holds a commercial pilot licence with multi-engine and instrument ratings, as well as an advanced scuba-diving licence. He is also a lifelong cyclist, mountaineer, skier and avid sailor. In addition, he is fluent in English and French and can also converse in Russian, Japanese and Spanish. In a question and answer session with David Saint-Jacques, we find out what motivated him to become an astronaut, which he details in his own words.
"As a child, I was impressed by photos of Earth taken from the moon. They showed me the immensity of the universe around us, the splendour and obvious fragility of our planet. Growing up, I was drawn to a life of adventure, exploration and discovery. I didn't think that becoming an astronaut was a real possibility, but my fascination with space remained, and that childhood dream has motivated me to reach my full potential as a human being.
The second aspect of the CSA's work concerns observing the Earth from space and as such, satellites give vital information on the ocean, ice, the atmosphere and land environments. Earth-observation satellites assist with the monitoring and protection of the environment, ensuring the safety and security of Canadians and managing resources. Certainly, satellite imagery and expertise are also used to support sustainable development and global humanitarian efforts.
An example of this part of the CSA's work is The International Charter "Space and Major Disasters", which is an international effort to put space technology at the service of rescue and emergency responders in the event of a major disaster. Certainly, we know that when the Charter is activated, its members make satellite images of devastated regions available to support relief efforts.
When it comes to supporting Canada's space sector in the advancement of innovative space technologies and applications, we know that the power of science is as infinite as space. The Government of Canada believes it is vital to engage Canada's youth in science and provide them with the tools to make science a part of their lives.
On 24th October, the Honourable Navdeep Bains, Minister of Innovation, Science and Economic Development, Canadian Space Agency (CSA) astronaut David Saint-Jacque and Bonnie Schmidt, Founder and President of Let's Talk Science, launched a new youth science research project that will give students in Canada a unique opportunity to collect and compare environmental data from Earth and space.
The Honourable Navdeep Bains, Minister of Innovation, Science and Economic Development said at the time that when he was at school, he could only dream of contributing to experiments in space. "Now, our government is making this a reality for future Canadian scientists, engineers and leaders in innovation through the Living Space project. By investigating scientific concepts and learning digital skills, like coding and analysing data, our children will have limitless opportunities to succeed in the jobs of tomorrow", the Minister said.
In closing, The Honourable Navdeep Bains, Minister of Innovation, Science and Economic Development leaves us with positive thoughts following his announcement on 15th October 2018 that the CSA is investing $1.6 million in two concepts for lunar rovers that would use artificial intelligence (AI). His comments encompass the aspects of Canada's space sector explored in this article, including inspiration for space exploration and the development of science, technology and innovation in the field.

Solar Orbiter probe makes its first Venus flyby
Jon Fingas
·Associate Editor
The ESA-NASA Solar Orbiter probe is quite busy on its way to the Sun. Space.com notes the spacecraft has completed its first flyby of Venus, collecting info about the hellish planet as it swung by around 7:39AM Eastern. There won't be photos when telescopes are focused on the main mission, but the Solar Orbiter gathered magnetometer, particle, plasma and radio data that could provide insights into how Venus interacts with solar winds.
Scientists expect to take a few days before they can analyze the results and see if there are any discoveries. Just don't expect major surprises — this isn't a Venus-oriented ship, and the 4,700-mile distance limited what Solar Orbiter could study.
Even so, it's an important milestone. This is Solar Orbiter's first flyby, and one of its first opportunities to obtain data as part of its seven-year mission. Think of this as the probe getting to work in earnest.
Update from the flight control team: 'We're post-Closest Approach in TM now on ground' = We have confirmed #VenusFlyby complete by checking the telemetry, so all #good

The Post's View
Sticking with the strongmen in Central Asia
Uzbekistan President Islam Karimov in May. (Ria Novosti/Reuters)
By Editorial Board
IN 1989, the ruling Politburo of the Soviet Union chose new leaders for two of the empire's Central Asian republics. Twenty-six years later, Nursultan Nazarbayev of Kazakhstan and Islam Karimov of Uzbekistan are still in power. They have weathered the Soviet Union's collapse, wars in Afghanistan and other neighboring nations, the rise of China and the spread of Islamist terrorism with a mix of repression, crony capitalism, corruption and the cultivation of competing powers, including the United States. Now, like leaders across Eurasia, they are wondering if they can survive the revived imperialism of Russia under Vladimir Putin.
In the last year Mr. Nazarbayev and Mr. Karimov have watched as Mr. Putin has invaded Ukraine and presided over the collapse of the Russian ruble due to sanctions and falling oil prices. This has dealt a double blow to the two Central Asian nations, whose own currencies and economies have suffered even as their political elite have wondered if Mr. Putin will challenge their sovereignty. Mr. Nazarbayev has particular reason for concern: Some one-fifth of Kazakhstan's population is ethnic Russian, and Mr. Putin has pointedly observed that "there was never a government before" on the "territory" the 74-year-old dictator now rules.
Both rulers have reacted with an old ruse: staging an election. In March, the 77-year-old Mr. Karimov had himself voted into a new term as president, with 90 percent of the ballots. Not to be outdone, Mr. Nazarbayev stood for reelection last month, even though his term had not yet expired, and celebrated winning what was reported to be 97.7 percent of the vote, with a 95 percent voter turnout. "I apologize if these numbers are unacceptable for the superdemocratic countries," he said, unapologetically, at a post-election news conference.
In fact, there were no complaints from Western democracies: President Obama was quick to congratulate Mr. Nazarbayev on his "victory." The administration has responded to the heightened Central Asian anxieties about Russia by recharging its economic and security cooperation. In February, it agreed to supply 300 armored vehicles to Uzbekistan, ignoring Mr. Karimov's record of responding to domestic unrest with military assaults. Deputy Secretary of State Antony Blinken recently outlined a U.S. policy of "strengthening partnerships to advance mutual security" and "forging closer economic ties" with Central Asia while charging that "Russia's actions on its periphery . . . threaten the very foundation of international order."
Mr. Blinken also said that a "critical aspect" of U.S. engagement would be "to advocate forcefully for greater respect for human rights, a stronger voice for civil society and greater religious freedom." But if the administration is actually pursuing those goals, it is having no visible impact. That ought to be worrying because the tired authoritarian tactics of Mr. Nazarbayev and Mr. Karimov are making it less likely that their countries will resist pressure from Mr. Putin. Neither of the aging rulers has lined up non-family successors or even established a process for choosing one. Capable politicians have been jailed or driven out of the country. Independent media are banned.
A policy aimed at preserving the sovereignty of Central Asia should aim first at defending modernizers and reformers and building durable political institutions. Instead, the Obama administration, like the old Soviet Politburo, is betting on the strongmen.

Q: A way to view recent played with? Is there a way to view players i recently played with except the steam overlay? I know there was a year ago in the log files but they fixed it by now. I tried to use the steam webinterface but i won´t show recent players i played in rocket league. It only shows up a list in the steam overlay. Is there a way to extract those players from a file or sth ? Thanks in advance

A: I don't see any other way than using the steam overlay, except you can write yourself some basic scripts in like java or something like that. But if you really want to have those player names in a list automatically and you have some basic programming understanding, you could write yourself a script which fetches the information from this URL (http://steamcommunity.com/id//friends/coplay/) and then save it wherever you like. (.txt file, spreadsheet etc.) To use this link, you have to be signed into steam on your browser. Maybe this can help you!

Dayton firefighter raising awareness for occupational cancer
Posted: May 31, 2018 / 10:29 PM EDT / Updated: Jun 1, 2018 / 02:58 AM EDT
SUGARCREEK TWP., Ohio (WDTN) – Jim Burneka is hoping that by spreading awareness, he can help prevent the spread of firefighter occupational cancer.
Some studies suggest firefighters have a 54 percent higher risk of dying from cancer than the average person.
Burneka, a Dayton firefighter and specialist at Firefighter Cancer Consultants, said, "It was almost taboo to talk about it. But now it's out there, the numbers are there. We know how significant of a threat it really is."
He personally knows several people affected by the disease as a result of exposure during their careers.
"Our fire gear does a great job of protecting us from fires, but it doesn't protect us from all of these chemicals and carcinogens," Burneka explained.
He created Firefighter Cancer Consultants to bring awareness of the risks and share prevention tactics to fire departments around the country.
Thursday, the consultant addressed a small group at the Sugarcreek Township Fire Department. He gave statistics, explained where cancer-causing toxins originate and demonstrated practices for decontamination.
Sugarcreek Township Fire Captain Josh Johnson said the small department has many young firefighters, and he hoped the training will stick in their minds.
"Anything we can do now at the beginning of your career, to cut down that risk and that exposure, is really what we're trying to do," Captain Johnson said.
A growing number of departments and state governments are recognizing the legitimacy of the risks.
A new Ohio law allows current or former firefighters diagnosed with cancer to collect workers compensation for the disease.
Burneka said his goal is to prepare crews and prevent hazards to minimize the impact of the occupational hazard.
"What we're doing today is going to impact us later on in life," he said.

Cei 8 odioși (titlu original: The Hateful Eight) este un film american western de mister din 2015 scris și regizat de Quentin Tarantino. Rolurile principale au fost interpretate de actorii Samuel L. Jackson și Kurt Russell.

Acțiune

Filmul este structurat pe șase capitole, cu o pauză de 10–15 minute între capitolele al treilea și al patrulea.

Capitolul I: Ultima diligență spre Red Rock
La câțiva ani după Războiul Civil American, într-un peisaj de iarnă din Wyoming, vânătorul de recompense John Ruth și prizoniera sa, Daisy Domergue, călătoresc cu diligența spre orășelul Red Rock, unde Ruth o v-a duce în fața justiției pe Daisy pentru a fi spânzurată pentru crimă. De-a lungul drumului, maiorul Marquis Warren (un alt vânător de recompense) îl oprește și negociază transportul său spre Red Rock, împreună cu cadavrele a trei infractori pe care îi ucisese pentru recompensă. Deși el și Marquis se cunosc din trecut și sunt în relații amicale, Ruth se teme de oricine care ar putea să-i elibereze sau să-i fure prizoniera pe capul căreia fusese pusă o recompensă foarte mare. Totuși, el decide să-l primească în trăsura de diligență, cu condiția ca el să-și lase armele la vizitiul O.B. Pe drum, Ruth își amintește că Warren are o scrisoare primită de la Abraham Lincoln și îi cere să o citească din nou.

Capitolul II: Ticălosul
Diligența cu care călătoresc Ruth și Warren este oprită și de Chris Mannix, un om care pretinde a fi noul șerif din orășelul Red Rock. După ce Warren și Ruth se înțeleg să-și protejeze reciproc potențialele recompense, iar Ruth îi returnează lui Warren arma în urma acordului, cei doi îl primesc pe Mannix în diligență cu condiția ca și el să își lase armele la vizitiu. Mannix vorbește cu un accent din Sud și se dovedește a fi fiul fostului conducător al unei grupări paramilitare confederate care a terorizat negrii din Sudul SUA după terminarea Războiului Civil. Întrucât Warren este negru și veteran de război din Nord, iar Ruth este un declarat simpatizant unionist, între Mannix și tovarășii săi de drum apar animozități, cu atât mai mult cu cât Marquis Warren personal dobândise în război notorietate prin evadarea dintr-un lagăr de prizonieri, soldată cu zeci de morți de ambele tabere, și care i-a adus înlăturarea din armată.

Capitolul III: Galanteria lui Minnie
Prins din urmă de viscolul pe care gonea să-l evite, grupul decide să poposească la "Galanteria lui Minnie", un refugiu șubred și sărăcăcios. Spre surprinderea lui Warren, la refugiu sunt primiți de un mexican, care se recomandă ca "Bob" și care le spune că a fost lăsat de Minnie să îngrijească refugiul cât timp ea este plecată peste munți la mama . În refugiu se află deja un englez care se prezintă drept Oswaldo Mobray, călăul din Red Rock; cowboy-ul Joe Gage, un personaj tăcut care se declară în drum spre mama sa; și fostul general confederat Stanford Smithers. Ruth își declară de la bun început bănuiala că cineva vrea să-l priveze de recompensă, îi dezarmează pe toți cu excepția lui Warren, și continuă să o țină pe Daisy încătușată de mâna sa. Warren devine la rândul lui suspicios, bănuielile lui fiind îndreptate către gazda Bob.

Ruth este dezamăgit să afle că scrisoarea de la Lincoln este un fals, ticluit de Warren pentru a fi mai respectat între albi. Mannix își exprimă admirația față de Smithers și faptele lui de arme, acesta la rândul său lăundându-l pe tatăl lui Mannix. Warren își amintește însă de crimele de război ale lui Smithers, care executase prizonieri de război negri. El îi pune generalului la dispoziție un pistol, după care îl provoacă, descriindu-i cum l-a omorât pe fiul acestuia care venise în munți să-l captureze pentru recompensă. Smithers încearcă să ia pistolul, iar Warren îl ucide în autoapărare.

Capitolul IV: Domergue are un secret
După pauza de 15 minute, filmul se reia tot după 15 minute din acțiune. Povestitorul relatează că între timp spiritele s-au calmat, iar O.B. a scos cadavrul generalului din refugiu, numai că înainte, în timp ce toți erau atenți la discuția dintre Warren și general, iar Bob cânta "Silent Night" la pian, cineva a otrăvit cafeaua, acțiune la care Daisy Domergue a fost martoră. Ruth și O.B. mor vomând sânge, iar Warren îi pune pe toți la perete sub amenințarea armei. El explică de ce știe că Bob minte, acesta făcându-se vinovat de moartea proprietarilor refugiului, și îl împușcă pe loc. Pe de altă parte, el anunță că știe că nu el a otrăvit cafeaua, întrucât el cânta la pian în acel moment. Pentru că Chris Mannix era și el aproape să bea din cafea, Warren îl scoate de sub bănuială și îi dă un pistol. Convins că asasinul încearcă să o elibereze pe Daisy, el amenință că o va împușca, iar Joe Gage recunoaște că a otrăvit cafeaua. Înainte să poată face ceva însă, Warren este împușcat de cineva de sub pardoseală, iar Mobray și Mannix se împușcă unul pe celălalt.

Capitolul V: Cei patru pasageri
Capitolul V este un flashback care arată ce s-a întâmplat la Galanteria lui Minnie în acea dimineață: Mobray, Bob, Gage și Jody (cel de sub pardoseală) au sosit la refugiu și i-au ucis pe toți, cu excepția generalului Smithers, a cărui colaborare și-au asigurat-o, pentru mai multă credibilitate. Toți sunt membrii bandei din care face parte Daisy, care este sora lui Jody, șeful bandei. Bandiții ascund orice dovadă a carnagiului și așează pistoale în locuri ascunse în toată cabana.

Capitolul VI: Om negru, infern alb
Deși grav răniți, Mannix și Warren îi țin sub amenințarea armei pe Gage, pe Daisy și pe muribundul Mobray. Amenințând din nou că o va executa pe Daisy, Warren îl determină pe Jody să iasă din ascunzătoare și îl execută sub privirile îngrozite ale lui Daisy. Aceasta apoi încearcă să-și negocieze scăparea, amenințându-l pe Mannix că dacă nu se întoarce la restul bandei, alți 15 membri ai ei vor veni în Red Rock să-l ucidă și să prade orașul; în schimb, ea îi oferă acestuia recompensa de pe capetele lui Mobray, Bob și ale celor trei bandiți prinși de Warren, cu condiția să o facă scăpată și să-l ucidă pe acesta.

Warren îi împușcă pe Daisy și pe Mobray în picior, iar Gage scoate un pistol ascuns și este la rândul său ucis. Spre disperarea lui Warren, Mannix pare însă să cocheteze cu ideea de a accepta înțelegerea cu Daisy, până când acesta declară că nu o crede și că nu o va cruța, pentru că și ea la rândul ei era dispusă să-l lase să moară otrăvit cu cafea. Cu toate acestea, el leșină chiar înainte de a o ucide pe Daisy. Cum Warren nu mai avea gloanțe și era imobilizat în pat de rană, Daisy începe să taie brațul lui Ruth, de care era încă încătușată. În momentul în care ajunge la pistolul lui Mannix, acesta își revine și o împușcă. În final, cei doi decid să o spânzure pe Daisy, pentru a face o formă de dreptate pentru Ruth, iar după ce aceasta moare asfixiată, cei doi răniți stau pe pat și Warren îl lasă pe Mannix să citească cu voce tare falsa scrisoare de la Lincoln.

Producție
În noiembrie 2013, Quentin Tarantino declara că lucrează la un nou film, un alt western, dar că acesta nu va fi o continuare a lui Django Unchained, deși avea mai târziu să recunoască că la început a dorit să refolosească personajul Django într-un film intitulat Django în infernul alb, înainte de a realiza că personajul acesta nu se potrivește cu povestea. La 12 ianuarie 2014, s-a anunțat că titlul noului film va fi The Hateful Eight. Acesta a fost inspirat de serialele western de televiziune Bonanza, The Virginian și The High Chaparral. Tarantino declara:

Producția urma să înceapă la jumătatea lui 2014 dar, după ce scenariul a apărut pe canale clandestine online în ianuarie 2014, Tarantino s-a gândit să-l publice în schimb sub formă de roman. El a spus că a dat scenariul câtorva colegi în care avea încredere, între care Bruce Dern, Tim Roth, și Michael Madsen. Această versiune de scenariu avea un final diferit, în care Warren și Mannix încearcă să-l omoare pe Gage obligându-l să bea cafeaua otrăvită, declanșând un schimb de focuri soldat cu moartea tuturor. Tarantino descria felul în care vede personajul Daisy Domergue ca o "Susan Atkins a Vestului Sălbatic".

La 19 aprilie 2014, Tarantino a regizat la United Artists Theater din Ace Hotel Los Angeles o lecturare a scenariului publicat. Evenimentul a fost organizat de Film Independent de la Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) ca parte a serialului Live Read fiind introdus de Elvis Mitchell. Tarantino a explicat că se va lectura prima variantă a scenariului și a adăugat că scrie alte două variante cu finaluri diferite. Actorii care i s-au alăturat lui Tarantino au fost Samuel L. Jackson, Kurt Russell, Amber Tamblyn, James Parks, Walton Goggins, Zoë Bell, James Remar, Dana Gourrier, Dern, Roth și Madsen.

Filmarea
Turnarea filmului urma inițial să înceapă în noiembrie 2014, dar a fost amânată pentru începutul lui 2015. Astfel, la începutul lui septembrie 2014, se știa că se va începe filmarea în ianuarie 2015. La 26 septembrie 2014, statul Colorado alocase fonduri de 5 milioane de dolari pentru producția filmului, întreaga peliculă urmând a fi filmată în . Pentru filmare, echipa de producție a primit o fermă de 365 ha.

Tana Velen June 14, 2012 4:00AM
Thanks to J.J. Abrams' Star Trek prequel that was a "force" to be reckoned with, no longer does the Trekkie nerd collective have to hide in its bedroom debating who was the better captain in the brains-versus-brawn debate. And it's fitting that the Trekverse should help to herald nerdom's emergence from the cultural closet. Aside from iconic captains James T. Kirk and Jean-Luc Picard, Star Trek was the first space series to welcome women and minorities to the party with Kathryn Janeway, Benjamin Sisko, and George Takei. Celebrate all that is Trekdom — and the fact that you know the difference between Kardashian and Cardassian — from 8 p.m. to 2 a.m. at Respectable Street. Art Nouveau is presenting a Star Trek-themed event thanks to its curator, the talented Teresa Korber. Expect more than 25 local artists of all media to be there with Star Trek-themed work, as well as a huge canvas that attendees will have the opportunity to paint. There will also be live entertainment, drink specials, no cover, and the PS561 Food Truck. Let your nerd flag fly. Respectable Street is located at 518 Clematis St. in West Palm Beach.

Margot Lévêque examines the historical, emotional and philosophical connotations of the collar
Collars – we've all got them. We bet you're wearing one right now. But have you ever thought about the historical context of the specific kind of collar you're wearing, or the emotion it could evoke? When it came to choosing a topic to spend a whole year researching and producing work on for her diploma, it was this neck-adorning accessory which caught graphic designer Margot Lévêque's attention. The result is a publication entitled Mysterium Conjunctionis which unpacks the myriad forms of the collar, be it a ruffle, a Peter Pan or a turtleneck.
"Since I was child, I've been obsessed with collars," Margot tells It's Nice That, somewhat unexpectedly. This niche proclivity starts to make sense, however, as she describes "my grandmother was seamstress, my mum has several clothing stores, and I have always been immersed in the world of fashion since childhood." On why the collar has always captivated her so much and the not the pleat or hemline, for example, she explains: "It can mean a lot of things about an individual's identity. A woman wearing a turtleneck jumper doesn't say the same things as a woman wearing a tailored collar. This subject always fascinated me."
In order to turn this topic into a publication finished with Margot's signature elegant, typographically-led graphic design, she began by choosing a selection of collars that she likes the most. "For each collar," she explains, "I linked them with an emotion. For example, the Peter Pan collar (Col Claudine in French) is combined with shyness. This represents only my point of view and a subjective view of it."
Margot Lévêque: Mysterium Conjunctionis
These emotions are then categorised, starting with the positive and ending with those most typically associated with being negative – a spectrum which then provides to flow of content for the book. Accompanying each section, which are all dedicated to one specific collar, are texts set according to a strict grid system: "one set in italic for emotional content, the other set in lineal for purely informative and historical content on the collar itself." This formatting allows readers to understand both the historical and sociological context of the accessory, getting different information upon each reading. "For each collar, I also drew patterns so that people can sew the collar themselves if they want," Margot adds.
The final element of the publication takes a philosophical stance on the collar. As an accessory worn around the neck, Margot focussed an area of her research on the metaphysical associations of this part of the body. "The neck represents life: we breathe, we eat, we shout, we lose our voice, we suffocate… The neck is the biggest lodge of emotions," she explains. As a nod to the spectrum of emotions running throughout the book, but also this concept of life, the final collar featured is the Spanish collar which, aesthetically, "slices the throat," Margot describes. To further represent the collar's intrinsic link with the cycle of life, Margot replaced the word – which should have appeared 396 times – with the infinity symbol.
Mysterium Conjunctionis' cover and spine are suitably decorative for a publication dedicated to the particularities of one element of clothing, featuring a cursive serif font and a binding produced by hand by Reliure Houdart. On these elements, Margot concludes: "I took all the pictograms of my sewing machine to design the book's spine! For the cover, I designed the custom lettering and the typeface I used for the title is Romie, which I designed this year."

Soaring jet fuel costs
Redlands teacher arrested
City facilities closed
Suit: Trash funds used illegally
School board gives itself raise
By Redlands Daily Facts | redlands@dfmdev.com |
Flight reductions at LAX are an unsettling development.
The nation's airlines have been among the hardest hit by spiraling fuel costs this year, and it's understandable that many of them are doing everything they can, including cutting flights, to reduce their overhead.
But the recent Daily Breeze report that Los Angeles International Airport would see a 16.4 percent drop in flights in November is a sobering reminder about how jet fuel costs are affecting the region.
Large airlines such as United, American, Delta and their affiliates plan to cut hundreds of weekly flights in and out of LAX this fall compared with the same time last year. The news is even more unsettling when LAX's fate is compared with some other large airports considered international gateways, such as JFK. Their flight losses are expected to be much less than the situation at LAX.
Los Angeles Ontario Airport, which was supposed to be a key component in the future regionalization of airline traffic, will also see its flights slashed as JetBlue and ExpressJet suspend their service to the airport in the coming months. The airlines' decision means flights in and out of Ontario will decrease by nearly 40percent.
Obviously, such figures mean fewer flights and higher prices for what seats are available. And that translates into less convenience for air travelers.
But of course it doesn't end there. Fewer flights mean the airports will lose out in landing and parking fees, as well as concession income – all of which support maintenance and improvements to airport infrastructures.
Fewer flights could provide a breathing space for LAX to improve its infrastructure to meet future demand, but one has to wonder about the effects on the regional economy. After all, according to Los Angeles World Airways, one in 20 jobs in Southern California is supported in some way by LAX operations.
Consider also that fewer flights could dampen orders for additional airliners. And many industrial supply companies in the South Bay and around the L.A. area depend on the commercial aviation industry for their livelihood.
According to the Air Transport Association, an industry trade group, relief must come in terms of price stabilization. The association reports that jet fuel can cost up to $30 per barrel more than gasoline due to limited refining capacity and global demand.
The ATA is pressing for a three-pronged effort to stabilize fuel prices: federal legislation to reduce speculation in the energy futures market, a timed release of oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to increase domestic inventories and a stronger commitment to expand the supply of domestic energy.
Considering just how pronounced the flight reductions in the L.A. area may be this fall, and the financial fallout, these ideas are well worth considering, especially if the economy continues to sputter.

Well I've been a single working mum for a while and now my children are grown and lovely- and it feels like time for me!
I love days by the seaside, city weekends, holidays - I definitely want to travel more.
I read on a poster that life is a journey and not a destination - I think that sums me up really!
When I think about Bev I find myself wondering why some guy hasn't snapped her up before now! The only logical reason I can think of is she works in a very female dominated profession. Let me tell you about Bev, she is stunning to look at, has a very dry sense of humor and great fun to be around.
Bev loves holidays,days out and a challenge or something different, even to the extent of climbing a 50ft telegraph pole and Zip sliding down! She can however be a home-bird,I think a perfect evening for Bev would be a romantic dinner for two at home.
Bev is a smiley happy person, but is a good listener and a kind and understanding person too. She is a fantastic catch for some lucky man out there, she has it all the looks, personality, honesty, values. What are you waiting for!?

Yoenis Cespedes' RBI single in 12th inning lifts Mets to 6-5 win over Nationals, sweep three-game series
Apr 09, 2018 | 12:23 AM
WASHINGTON — Yoenis Cespedes broke out of an 0-for-10 stretch with a strong response to the challenge of having the Nationals choose to walk Michael Conforto to pitch to him Sunday night. The Mets left fielder dumped an RBI single into center field in the top of the 12th inning to give the Mets a 6-5 win over the Nationals at Nationals Park.
The Mets (7-1) won their fifth straight and swept the Nationals (4-5) in a three-game series for the first time since 2015.
Cespedes had gone 0-for-5 on Saturday and was 0-for-5 with three strikeouts Sunday before coming through in the 12th. With Juan Lagares on second base and Brandon Kintzler having issued the intentional walk to Conforto, Cespedes broke his bat on a soft liner for the game-winning hit.

Seth Lugo pitched three gutty innings to earn the win. In the ninth, Lugo walked Bryce Harper to lead off. His wide pickoff attempt allowed the Nats slugger to take second. Harper moved to third on Matt Adams' flyout. Lugo then loaded the bases with intentional walks to Howie Kendrick and Trea Turner before striking out Michael Taylor and Pedro Severino.
With two outs in the 10th, Anthony Rendon bunted up the third base line. Lugo then coaxed a quick ground ball from Harper and after bobbling the ball on his way to first recovered in time to get Harper out.
The bullpen, which had seven holds heading into Sunday's game, blew its first save. Robert Gsellman gave up an RBI single to Taylor in the seventh inning, allowing the Nationals to tie the game at 5-5.
On a brutally cold night (first-pitch temperature was 47 degrees), Matt Harvey was in and out of trouble all night, allowing four earned runs on nine hits. He walked one and struck out two.

He was better than Tanner Roark, who allowed five runs on five hits and four walks. He struck out nine.
After getting Conforto to strike out and Cespedes to fly out in the third inning, Roark struggled to find the strike zone. He walked Jay Bruce, Todd Frazier and Asdrubal Cabrera before giving up a home run to Adrian Gonzalez.
Harper had crushed a 93-mph fastball that got away from Harvey in the first inning for a two-run homer into the Nationals bullpen.

PLAY OF THE GAME
Adrian Gonzalez's grand slam in the third. Nationals starter Tanner Roark walked three straight with two outs to set up Gonzalez's first home run of the season.
With Juan Lagares on base and Brandon Kintzler choosing to intentionally walk Michael Conforto to set up a double play, Yoenis Cespedes came up with the game-winning hit in the top of the 12th.
STAR OF THE GAME
Seth Lugo lost his chance to start Wednesday because the Mets feel he is so important to the bullpen and Sunday night he showed exactly why. He wiggled out of trouble in the ninth and pitching three gutsy shutout innings.
3-0. The Mets sweep a three-game series at Washington for the first time since Sept. 7-9, 2015, when they won the NL East and went to the World Series.
Adrian Gonzalez hit his first grand slam since July 24, 2016, at St. Louis, a third-inning shot that put the Mets ahead, 4-2.
Daniel Murphy, recovering from offseason knee surgery, missed the first series against his former team. He told some friends he expects to miss the next series as well, next week at Citi Field

Ten years ago, the idea that Colombia would become a burgeoning hub for any dynamic industry beyond its notorious drug trade would have struck most observers as far-fetched.
As recently as the turn of the century, conventional wisdom had it that the tropical, Andean nation was on the verge of becoming a failed state. Fast forward to the present day and Colombia already boasts one of the region's stronger startup ecosystems, with huge potential upside still waiting to be explored.
By 2018, the government hopes to have 63 percent of the country connected to broadband. And according to 2013 GSMA mobile economy figures, there are already 43.9 million mobile connections and 24 million mobile users in a country whose 47 million people give it the third largest population in Latin America and third largest Spanish-speaking population in the world.
These and other figures are highly encouraging for people looking to tap a rapidly growing market, and it follows that a stronger internal tech culture will also form the groundwork for Colombia's own aspirations in the field of innovation.
The first stage of the government's concerted campaign to rebrand Colombia as a technology center involved drawing in IT services with tax incentives and professional training programs. A $6.8 billion industry has taken strong root as a result, with 1,800 software development and IT service companies registered in the country. Looking forward, the hope is that IT, and the investments that went into promoting it, can diversify into a broader innovation ecosystem.
With that in mind, the government has spurred a number of public initiatives to address the lack of venture capital in Colombia, currently the biggest ceiling on startup growth. Founded to support and promote tech innovation and new ventures, iNNpulsa awarded three grants of up to $800,000 in 2013 to investor groups establishing operations in Colombia.
Apps.co is another, more tech-specific, government initiative. By the end of 2014, it's expected to have awarded $33 million in funding to accelerators and university partnership programs, according to the Atlantic.
Where once there was nothing of the sort, there are now 38 private equity, venture capital or seed funds in the country.
These and other efforts have succeeded in convincing big names like Facebook and Google that a favorable labor market and budding consumer base are worth investing in, with both companies opening permanent Colombian offices in recent years. Where the government's strategy has so far fallen short, however, is in replicating that sort of international success for homegrown Colombian companies.
Examples of Colombian startups making a similar leap, or achieving sizable exits at all, are few and far between. .CO is easily Colombia's biggest startup success story, having been acquired by Neustar for $109 million in 2014. But after that, the field gets noticeably thin.
PagosOnline, an online payment platform, and Click Delivery, an online delivery service, have probably come closer than anyone else to following in .CO's footsteps, and even so, the acquisitions went for a rumored $10 million and $15 million, respectively.
The problem is that, while the startup scene is maturing, the investment economy backing it is still in its beginning stages.
Although there is debate on which Colombian city will eventually emerge as the country's startup center, Bogota retains the title up until this point. That's hardly a surprise, of course. The capital is home to the national government, most of the country's corporate and financial institutions, and the largest and most diverse ex-pat and immigrant community in the country.
Colombia's most experienced startup founders are from Bogota, including Alex Torrenegra, a serial entrepreneur often talked about as the godfather of Colombia's startup scene. Torrenegra is the founder of VoiceBunny, a digital voice over marketplace, and one of the few Colombian startup entrepreneurs who has been able to transition to a distinguished international career.
Most importantly, his commitment to sharing insights and leadership with the Colombian startup community have set an encouraging precedent. For years and across all industries, Colombia has been on the losing end of an epic "brain drain" that has sent many of its best and brightest abroad for good. Keeping that talent in the country is a key to unlocking the country's innovation potential, and Torrenegra had done more than his fair share to set an example in that regard.
Already, we've seen a lot of knowledge brought back and put to effective work in Bogota. Looking at notable institutions like HubBOG, a co-working space and incubator led by Rene Rojas which hosts weekly events and activities, Wayra, an accelerator built loosely according to the Y Combinator model, and Endeavor, a non-profit that supports high-impact Colombian entrepreneurs, it's easy to see the influence that global perspective is having.
Other local leaders include Juan Diego Calle, founder of .CO; Alan Colmenares, considered the heart of Colombia's startup ecosystem; Catalina Ortiz, CEO of iNNpulsa, Andres Gutierrez and Juan Salcedo, founders of Tappsi; Freddy Vega and Christian Van Der Henst, founders of Mejorando.la, an educational platform that surpassed $1 million in revenue in 2013; Diego Serebrisky, a partner at the Alta Ventures venture firm; and Andres Barreto, who operates government accelerators across the country.
Colombians will tell you it's no coincidence that Medellin won the most innovative city of the year in 2012. Paisas, as its residents are known, are famously business savvy and entrepreneurial–traits that carry as much promise for the future as they have darkness in the past.
The local startup scene still lags behind Bogota, but not by degrees, and the weather and business-friendly atmosphere have given it its own unique dynamic. Medellin today does not have the success stories that Bogota can refer to, but many believe that in the next decade it will become the nation's tech center. In fact, in 2013 the city government committed $389M over 10 years to technology and innovation.
The center of Medellin's innovation scene is Ruta N, which is a government organization along the lines of Apps.co and iNNPulsa. Last year, it committed $3 million to the Velum Ventures venture capital firm.
Other organizations spearheading entrepreneurship include Medellin ACI, responsible for international investment in Medellin, and Creame, a government-supported incubator.
Local leaders include Hernan Jaramillo and Roberto Cuartas, founders of TareasPlus, which raised $1.8 million in venture funding in 2012; Eduardo Quiroz of Ruta N; Esteban Velasco and Esteban Mancusco, founders of the venture capital firm Velum Ventures; Juan Sebastian Franco, head of entrepreneurship at ANDI, the locally founded business association, now the largest in the country; and Eddie Arrieta, co-founder of Espacio.
Medellin is caught in a paradox. Because it doesn't have success stories, the investor confidence needed to create new ones is low. Public initiatives have done what they can, but the current system is a weak substitute for badly needed private capital.
Although the startup scene is still very much concentrated in Bogota and Medellin, activity is beginning to sprout up in other regions in Colombia.
In Barranquilla, on the Caribbean coast, the startup ecosystem revolves around Koombea and its charismatic founder, Jonathan Tarud. Many of the city startups are helped by the company and its has taken a leadership role in the startup ecosystem, becoming active supporters of events such as Startup Weekend, among others. In Cali, the country's third largest city, large development companies comprise much of the tech ecosystem.
The government is working to promote activities in other cities, but the high-end spectrum of the Colombian economy in general is limited to a few cities. Expanding the tech scene, in that sense, may be as much a question of broader development as anything else.
Colombia has plenty of work ahead if it wants to assert itself as a legitimate global player. Looking at the bigger picture, though, Colombia does have a number of advantages on that front.
This year, Colombia's GDP has grown faster than any in Latin America — it's currently the fourth fastest growing in the world — and inflation, though up from 2013, remains low. Poverty, extreme poverty, and unemployment are all down thanks in part to tech-based programs designed to address inequality, and labor formalization is up.
So, in comparison to the other emerging Latin American tech hubs — Buenos Aires, Sao Paolo, Santiago — Colombia not only has competitive public incentives, but also the general structural growth that attracts immigration.
Brazil, once the darling of global experts, has become mired in economic stagnation. Argentina and Venezuela are approaching crisis conditions, and immigration to the United States is prohibitively difficult. The third-largest Spanish-speaking country in the world, Colombia is essentially fighting for prevalence with Mexico. Unlike Chile, another well-developed country, Mexico has even better relative location to the States than Colombia, but it has an image problem relating to escalating drug violence. By contrast, Colombia is moving toward an end to its 50-year armed conflict.
