10 Adventure Vans That Let You Own The Outdoors In Style
Why rough it?
Dan Carney
What's cooler than a van for getting off the grid? Put in a bed and add four-wheel-drive, and now you're really talking. Sure, maybe you can pull it off in an old '70s love van, but modern adventure vans are a breed apart.
With that in mind, we thought we'd better get together a roundup of adventure vans to get you ready for the summer festival season.
Peugeot Rifter 4x4 Concept
French automaker Peugeot gets the party started with a cool concept car for the Geneva International Motor Show with the unveiling of the Rifter 4x4 concept van. The Rifter van is outfitted with four-wheel drive, a rooftop tent, an extra three inches of ground clearance and custom knobby B.F. Goodrich off-road tires to ensure you'll reach your off-the-grip location.
"Through the Rifter 4x4 Concept show-car, we succeeded in creating an even more multipurpose and effective vehicle with a very modern and distinctive style that plays on the contrast of colors and materials," explained Keith Ryder, Peugeot Rifter design manager.
Winnebago Revel
Unlike the Rifter 4x4 Concept, the Winnebago Revel 4x4 adventure van is ready and waiting for you (and your good credit) at a nearby Winnebago dealer. The $134,799 Revel is built on a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van chassis with a 3.0-liter turbodiesel V6 that is rated at 325 lbs./ft. of torque.
Winnebago builds in a 140-cu. ft. gear garage for your equipment that has with a power lift bed above it. There's also aA full kitchen with a 2.5-cu. ft. refrigerator, a standard 200-watt solar power system, and a diesel-powered heater.
Advanture Co. Labryinth Ford E-350
Advanture Co.
The Advanture Co. isn't going to have your new van in stock. Instead, you'll have to place an order for a custom build, like the Labryinth Ford E350. Advanture lifts the suspension for ground clearance and adds a water system, audio system, kitchen, and a diesel heater to make the cabin comfy in the boondocks.
Outside Van Solstice
Outside Van
Oregon's Outside Van starts with the ever-popular Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van to build the Solstice, which seems focused on overnight comfort, with a built-in three-panel bed, sun shades for the windows, and a 10-speed roof vent to keep it from getting hot inside on summer nights. Of course, the bed is raised, leaving plenty of space for mountain bikes and other outdoors gear, safe inside the van.
Sportsmobile Classic 4x4
Sportsmobile customizes a variety of vans, but adventurers will want the Ford E-Series-based Classic 4x4 van to get them well off the beaten path. This beast is reinforced with heavy-duty off-road hardware for serious off-road capability, while also offering a 10,000-lb. towing capacity for you to bring other toys along for the trip. The pop-up roof means you'll be able comfortable stand inside while changing into your wetsuit, snowsuit or any other kind of suit.
Vanlife Customs Ram Promaster
Vanlife Customs
Vanlife Customs builds its vehicles by special order, so this Ram Promaster is an example of what's possible rather than an off-the-shelf product ready for purchase. The Ram includes 300W of Renogy Eclipse solar panels to power a Battleborn lithium battery. There is also an Isotherm 12-volt refrigerator, efficient LED lighting, a diesel heater, and interior power outlets for your devices.
Chinook Bayside 4x4
Chinook RV
The plush Chinook Bayside is also based on the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, but this is a much more spacious and plush take on the theme. Thanks to four-wheel-drive, however, the Bayside is still capable of getting you to some remote destinations. Equipment such as a bathroom with hot water ensures that you don't have to rough it once you get there.
Ursa Minor Jeep Pop Up
Ursa Minor Vehicles
When is an adventure van not an adventure van? When it is a Jeep Wrangler with a popup top! When a van just won't get you there, consider converting a Wrangler into a roomy camper. The Ursa Minor pop up roof starts at $6,550, with available options like a rooftop solar panel, luggage rack, and paint to match your Wrangler.
Automotive Designs & Fabrication Adventure Van
Automotive Designs & Fabrication
San Fernando, California's Automotive Designs & Fabrication builds proper adventure vans based on the familiar Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van. The mop-it-out plastic diamond plate flooring tells you this van is meant to get dirty, while the fridge and stove keep you nourished while kayaking in remote locations.
Colorado Camper Van
Ford's Transit seems destined to become a favorite for #vanlife-ers, but its lack of four-wheel drive will limit its utility as an adventure van. Still, Colorado Camper Van's massive pop up roof makes the Transit seem nearly as spacious as a motorhome, so it might be a good call for families with kids who don't need to get too far into the outback.
It will definitely get you to Coachella or Burning Man, so that oughta be off-road enough... right?

Turnpike Troubadours Address Ticket Demand For Upcoming Red Rocks Shows
The Turnpike Troubadours recently announced TWO upcoming shows at the stunning Red Rocks Amphitheater in Morrison, Colorado, next year.
In light of their recent announcement that they're officially BACK together, it's likely the first of many more live show announcements, with an entire tour announcement expected to come sometime in the next few months.
It's easily the hottest ticket in country music for 2022, which means everybody and their momma wants to get their hands on one or two.
Unfortunately though, with the way ticket sales work these days, it's all too easy for some random bot or scalper on the internet to buy up tons of tickets at once when they go on sale, and then resell them for astronomical prices that no one should ever pay to go to a concert through a secondary market.
Seriously, some of the resell tickets for the first Red Rocks show were going for well over $1,000 a ticket, after originally being set in a much more reasonable price range of $50-80 per ticket through the venue website and selling out almost immediately.
The whole fiasco left many people on Twitter wondering if anyone even got tickets at all:
Do I know any live person who actually got Turnpike tickets?
— Lauren Rupert (@LorraineRupert) December 3, 2021
Jealous of the 15 real human beings who got turnpike tickets 😔
— Ian Middleton (@Musician526) December 3, 2021
The band posted a statement addressing the problem today to their social channels, saying that they're aware of what's going on and are doing everything they can to make it better for real fans to buy reasonably priced tickets on this go around:
"The demand for tickets to our Red Rocks shows have been overwhelming, but we want to let you know that we hear you about ticket resellers and that we are doing what we can to address the issue.
To get as many fans a chance at tickets as possible, we're going to limit purchases for the Sunday Red Rocks show to four tickets per order.
We're working with AXS, AEG Presents and Red Rocks Amphitheater to identify bots and cancel tickets that were purchased fraudulently and get them back to fans, however there are far more people wanting to come to the shows than the venue can accomodate."
pic.twitter.com/57MsMtuj9d
— Turnpike Troubadours (@TpTroubadours) December 15, 2021
Tickets go on sale for the second show this Friday, and while there will still be plenty of disappointed fans without tickets due to the sheer volume of demand regardless of the bots and scalpers, hopefully more people have a fair shot at it this time.
At the end of the day though, it's pretty awesome to see the kind of demand that a band as good as Turnpike is drawing right now… they definitely deserve it.
Good luck, y'all.

Blood typing is the first blood test that will determine if your blood is compatible with the potential donor's blood. If the donor's blood type works with your blood type, the donor will take the next blood test (tissue typing).
Kidney donors must have a compatible blood type with the recipient. The Rh factor (+ or -) of blood does not matter in a transplant.
What if me and my donor are not a match?
If blood types are not compatible, the donor will not be able to donate directly to you. However, the donor may consider donating through a paired exchange program. Paired exchange programs allow you to get a kidney from another donor who is not a match for their intended recipient. Paired exchange involves two living donors and two recipients. If the recipient from one pair is compatible with the donor from the other pair, and vice versa– the transplant center may arrange for a "swap"–for two simultaneous transplants to take place. This allows two transplant candidates to receive organs and two donors to give organs though the original recipient/donor pairs were unable to do so with each other.
Where can I find more information on paired exchange programs?
Contact other organizations which might help. Following are links to other organizations which help to facilitate exchanges.

Unprecedented Dairy Cow Rescue Effort Still Underway on Hawai'i Island: Updates and How the Community Can Help
Keaau, HI - April 16, 2019 - More than 2,600 dairy cows needed to find new homes upon the closure of Big Island Dairy in O'okala on Hawai'i Island. The Hawaii Lava Flow Animal Rescue Network (HLFARN) has been placing these cows in new homes since the beginning of 2019. While the number of cows at the dairy dwindles, the timeline to have the cows out of the facility (as determined by a settlement reached with a community group) grows shorter. After rehoming nearly 200 cows and calves, HLFARN continues to work tirelessly in order to find more homes and raise more funds to save the remaining cows, who number in the high hundreds. The group's next operation is scheduled for April 27, 2019.
The effort that has required countless volunteer hours, contributions from all over the globe, and compassionate adopters, is unlike any rescue of farm animals that has come before it. Typically, dairy cows are rescued in smaller numbers and placed at a sanctuary or similar facility. Rescued cows typically come from calves and cows falling off of trucks or being removed from dire situations. Though many dairies across the country are closing due to a shift in consumer trends (Wisconsin alone has seen more than 650 closures since 2017), their cows are typically sold at auction for slaughter or to be used by another farm.
In order to pull off this massive rescue operation, HLFARN utilizes a dedicated network of volunteers to fundraise, do outreach, vet potential adopters based on a rubric of requirements, assist with removal and transport of the cows, assist adopters with last-minute needs, and more. Rather than place all of the cows at one sanctuary, the group is able to rescue a larger number by placing them in private homes, ranches, and small sanctuaries where they will no longer be utilized for milk or meat, allowing them to retire from the animal agriculture industry in peace.
"We have a lofty goal of saving at least 10% of the original cows and calves that needed to be rehomed in January (some cows have since birthed new calves, adding to that original number). That's 260 lives that can be saved thanks to adopters and donors, without whom none of this is possible. We still have many challenges ahead of us, sleepless nights and sweaty days, but we are highly motivated to reach our goal and save these amazing, kind, intelligent creatures," animal rescuer Alessandra Rupar-Weber said.
Once placed, after a required quarantine period, the cows and calves become a part of the family. Toddlers bottle feed calves, cows snuggle with sheep and pigs, and adopters delight when their new "pets" come running at feeding time.
"My girls wait for me every morning, eager to receive their breakfast and tolerant of the hugs and kisses we bestow upon them. They are no different than my dogs and cats, willing and capable of returning our affection (sometimes they lick our cheeks)," adopter Danielle Spitz said.
HLFARN provides community and support to these adopters via a private Facebook group where this new, unlikely community can gather to ask questions, share photos, and tell stories of their new companions.

How the community can help
The two most pressing needs for this operation are homes and funds. Big Island land owners who can take in a minimum of two cows or calves (with at least two acres of land per cow), and can provide them with supplemental feed, shelter, water, and vet care as needed, are still desperately in demand. For those interested in adopting these gentle giants (who also make excellent lawn mowers and manure generators, plus there is a tax incentive available), HLFARN will pay the adoption fees and assist with transport, if needed, thanks to the group's many generous donors. Adopters must agree to not use the cows for milk or meat. Those interested in adoption can email hlfarn808@gmail.com to begin the process.
Though Big Island homes are the focus, if enough funds can be raised, some of the cows may be able to be shipped to neighbor island, where many farms and sanctuaries are eager to take them in.
For those not on the Big Island looking to help, funds are still greatly needed to pay the dairy's fees, provide transportation from the dairy to the new homes, purchase starter feed, and assist with primary medical needs once the cows are removed. Those interested in making a tax deductible donation through HLFARN's fiscal sponsor, Sanctuary of Mana Ke'a Gardens, can donate via Go Fund Me or Paypal (please designate #HawaiiCowRescue when donating). Donors will receive regular updates from adopters and volunteers about the cows, including heartwarming photos and videos.

Rescue operation background
In May 2017, after members of the Ōʻōkala community filed several complaints to the Hawaiʻi State Department of Health, Big Island Dairy, LLC received a Notice of Violation of the federal Clean Water Act for releasing animal waste into the nearby waterways that eventually ran off into the ocean. A lawsuit ensued, resulting in Big Island Dairy announcing the closing of its operations this spring.
In January 2019, Big Island Dairy and Hawai'i State Department of Health reached a settlement. One of the stipulations of the settlement is for Big Island Dairy to reduce and eliminate the number of animals that they have. When a dairy closes its operations, the cows are usually auctioned off and distributed to slaughterhouses and other dairies. Big Island Dairy has roughly 2600 cows, heifers and calves, to remove from the premises.
Members of the Hawai'i Lava Flow Animal Rescue Network (HLFARN), one of the groups instrumental in the rescue operations of animals in last year's Lower Puna lava flow, are currently engaged in an effort to save some of these animals. After initial meetings with representatives of the dairy, HLFARN received permission to remove a number of the cows for a negotiated fee.

# Unsupported operations

Although we try to support each and every Spring Data feature, sometimes native implementation is not possible using Space as a data source. Instead of providing workarounds, which are often slow, we decided to mark some features as unsupported, among them are:

#### Using `IgnoreCase`, `Exists`, `IsNear` and `IsWithin` keywords

```java
public interface PersonRepository extends XapRepository<Person, String> {

    // these methods throw an UnsupportedOperationException when called

    List<Person> findByNameIgnoreCase(String name);

    List<Person> findByNameExists(boolean exists);

    List<Person> findByAgeIsNear(Integer nearAge);

    List<Person> findByAgeIsWithin(Integer minAge, Integer maxAge);

}
```

#### Setting `Sort` to `ignoreCase`

```java
public interface PersonRepository extends XapRepository<Person, String> {

    // these methods throw an UnsupportedOperationException when called

    List<Person> findByNameIgnoreCase(String name);

    List<Person> findByNameExists(boolean exists);

    List<Person> findByAgeIsNear(Integer nearAge);

    List<Person> findByAgeIsWithin(Integer minAge, Integer maxAge);

}
```

#### Setting any `NullHandling` in `Sort` other than `NATIVE`

```java
// NullHandling other than NATIVE is not supported
Sort sorting = new Sort(new Order(ASC, "id", NullHandling.NULLS_FIRST));
// will throw an UnsupportedOperationException
personRepository.findByNameEquals("paul", new PageRequest(1, 2, sorting));
```

#### Using query derivation in `XapDocumentRepository`

```java
@SpaceDocumentName("Person")
public interface DocumentQueries
        extends XapDocumentRepository<SpaceDocument, String> {

    @Query("name = ?")
    List<SpaceDocument> findByName(String name);

    // this declaration without @Query annotation
    // or named query from external resource
    // will throw UnsupportedOperationException during configuration
    List<SpaceDocument> findByAge(Integer age);

}
```

Is the internet a tool for LGBT+ freedom?

Rhys is a nineteen year-old Glaswegian journalist currently on his soul-searching gap year, minus the actual soul searching. He has written for a number of publications and regards himself as quite the political activist, though more in theory than in practice.

The trans* hypocrisy of LGBT inclusivity - 14 April, 2014
The internet is a great leveller. In some senses, it can be a great tool for democracy – allowing people in all (well, many) parts of the world to have their say and, more importantly, to access knowledge in a way that was never previously available.
Wikipedia has become a real-life version of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, full of information on whatever you want to research (with the same inaccuracies, errors and omissions as that fictional title). Facebook is an online, sort-of-public diary, and Twitter is a riot in Speaker's Corner – with every know-it-all vying for attention and snatching the megaphone.
It has many other uses too. Without moving, we can watch movies, TV and YouTube videos from all over the world. Without the risk of being caught (or of getting a restraining order), we can silently and stealthily watch exes fall in and out of love, eat tortilla chips or pose for shameless selfies in the bathroom. Without speaking to a soul, we can amass armies of 'friends' and 'fans' and 'followers' – our virtual celebrity so convincing we get to the front of nightclub queues and utter the words, 'Do you know who I am?' Better still: we can use the web to dig out all the sexy images of Ian Thorpe – or of hot men in Speedos – we could possibly want!
The internet has also made it easier to do things in the real world. No longer do individuals have to content themselves with an entirely online audience – they can use Amazon's CreateSpace or Lulu.com to print books of their ranting and raving, their epic poetry and their chiselled prose. This, of course, yields some gems that would never have found an audience otherwise – but it also increases the amount of chaff surrounding us on all sides.
RELATED ARTICLE Users angry at Facebook community standards decision
Because with greater numbers of people having the ability to voice their opinions to a potentially vast audience, there is also a commensurate increase in the amount of noise we all hear. There are keyboard warriors and Twitter activists dedicated to the tiniest of niches, who fight the good fight with little else on their side but access to their local libary's wifi. Then there are smug little egotists who write incoherent treatises on the minutiae of their self-indulgent lives (#sorrynotsorry).
Half my time is spent negotiating between these two extremes and deciding which voices I want to filter out and which I want to listen to – and this often calls for snap judgements. Publishers often help – the job of a press or a magazine is to curate worthwhile content within a given remit – to make it easier for you to find what you want. Recommendations from friends can be great, although memes, GIFs and soundbytes predominate – and except for the odd successful viral campaign, it tends to be the same stories shared online that are also covered in the mainstream news.
The truth is that even the internet has inbuilt power structures. Facebook selects whose statuses and photos you see in your timeline, based on algorithms that monetise our personal experiences. Twitter urges us to follow the web-famous and fills our screens with sponsored hashtags and cleverly devised marketing campaigns. YouTube and Amazon suggest what we should watch and read next – shaping the information we absorb subtly, while maximising their own revenues.
Meanwhile, the biggest corporations often sell our personal information to advertisers and even governments – all the better to watch you with, my dear. We've known for years that broadcasters and publishers have controlled discourse by selecting what we should know about and how that information is presented. Bias and propaganda aren't new things. But we now also know that Facebook has experimented in controlling our emotions – with repercussions that could seriously threaten freedom of speech.
RELATED ARTICLE What is Ello?
Some parts of the world are still cut off from the internet, or parts of it – whether that's China banning Google, Turkey banning YouTube and Twitter, or people in the third world who can't get easy access to mobile phones, laptops or even a dial-up connection.
The internet, then, provides greater freedom – but we shouldn't consider it the answer to all ills. It is a flawed tool, and one easily used against us, but it is invaluable in so many ways. It connects us, creates spaces where we can create our own identities, and encourages us to write (even if with emoticons and 'txtspk'). Blackberry Messenger has been instrumental in the organisation of demos, protests and even riots – offering a means to act upon injustice, but also a means to plan criminal activity.
As LGBT+ people, we also can't forget the benefits it provides us specifically. When I was at high school, I used Faceparty and Gay.com to chat to other queer kids. I had an internet boyfriend for about six months back then. I found useful information on how to come out, what networks existed in the real world for people like me, what HIV was, and how to relax my sphincter before getting fucked. Crucial, sensitive information that I could discover at my own leisure and which has stood me well throughout my life.
I had lots of online friends who gave me advice and support, even when I had previously felt like I was the only queer in the world. That gave me perspective. That helped me feel I wasn't alone . Before Queer as Folk in 1999, I had no other source of information on the LGBT+ community.
RELATED ARTICLE Why Iggy Azalea is dividing Pittsburgh Pride and our community
Before Gaydar, and then Fitlads, and now Grindr and its ilk, gay and bisexual men cruised streets and dark underpasses for anonymous sex. With sex clubs always under police scrutiny, websites and apps provide a (relatively) safe way to meet new people. Even then, however, there are people who have been murdered after meeting people on hook-up apps. It's scary to think that the apps we use to live our lives freely can also be used to hunt us down like animals.
For reasons like these (and many more), there is an increasing resistance to web-intrusion by the more committed users. Virtual private networks and other programs allow for easier anonymity. Google Incognito covers your tracks somewhat by not recording your web history in the first place. But pirates and perverts sometimes linger in the shadowy, liminal spaces that the hidden web creates too.
As Afshan Lodhi wrote in her article this morning, it's important to hear all stories – not just the ones the tabloids and TV news want us to hear. For that reason, it will always remain important. But freedom on the internet must also be maintained, and we must fight to protect that freedom. More of us should be made about governmental snooping on our web activity. More of us should fight the increasing commodification of our lives.
Especially as LGBT+ people, but also as free human beings, we should be aware of the risks posed by big business and politicians interfering with our internet usage. Google already knows your interests and habits. Facebook knows your moods, emotions, friends and associates. All of them know your location. They probably all know your sexuality and political beliefs too. All it takes is for someone to join the dots, and the web will turn you into a target.
Let's bear this in mind when politicians debate web freedom. Let's keep pushing for a freer internet – one that gives us the freedom to have private lives too.

Rupee is stabilizing - Mangala
Sri Lanka's Finance Minister Mangala Samaraweera says compared to the currencies in other countries in the region, Sri Lankan rupee is strong and there are signs of stabilization.
"Sri Lanka's currency is currently showing signs of stabilization. The devaluation of the Sri Lankan rupee was 9 percent, but the Indian rupee depreciated 11 percent," the Minister said making a special statement.
"Also, the Indonesian Rufiyaa and the Korean Von have been depreciated. The depreciation of currencies in countries such as Australia and Russia, which are considered as developed countries, is higher than ours," he said.
He said the government's good financial management policies is the reason for strong rupee.
"We have successfully dealt with this devaluation of the rupee. We need foreign exchange to pay the huge amount of debt that the Rajapaksa government has given to us. We have to pay over Rs. 4 trillion in loans for next two years. If only we cannot pay back these debts, then it will be similar to the crisis in Argentina and Greece," he said.
"If we tried to use our foreign exchange to control the depreciation of rupee against the dollar instead of paying the debt, then our economy will also collapse," he explained.
"The former Minister of Finance as well as the opposition politicians are trying to show that rupee has never been depreciated in this manner in the history. But If he has forgotten, I can point out that in 2012, when Mahinda Rajapaksa was Minister of Finance and the President, rupee depreciated over 14 percent," Minister Samaraweera reminded.

MBI Service Instructions for Good Scientific Practice
Instructions for implementing the rules to ensure good scientific practice at the Max Born Institute
In 1998, the German Research Foundation (DFG) drew up proposals to ensure good scientific practice. These recommendations were taken up by the Wissenschaftsgemeinschaft Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz (WGL) as the basis for the formulation of corresponding rules and their implementation recommended for the WGL institutions. The board of the Forschungsverbund Berlin (FVB) has thereupon adopted a procedure for dealing with allegations of scientific misconduct, which is to apply to all scientifically active employees of the Forschungsverbund Berlin. The institutes of the research network are called on to define preventive regulations for the safeguarding of good scientific practice, which are oriented to the respective specific scientific conditions.
The obligation to comply with the rules of good scientific practice will in future also be a funding criterion of the DFG. The following regulations are therefore based on the "Proposals to ensure good scientific practice" of the "Self-regulation in Science" commission of the DFG and the corresponding recommendations of the WGL.
Compliance with these rules is a contractual obligation at the Max Born Institute. For existing contracts, employees are obliged to do so by written declaration.
1. Good scientific practice
1.1 Definition of good scientific practice
Good scientific practice means working lege artis and always following the latest state of knowledge. It requires knowledge and utilization of the current literature, the application of the latest methods and knowledge.
It is characterized by doubts and self-criticism, by critical analysis of the findings and their control, for example by mutual review within the working groups, but also by honesty with the contributions of colleagues, employees, competitors, predecessors.
Careful quality assurance is an important feature of scientific honesty. It is - in addition to the honesty to others and others as an ethical norm - the basis for scientific professionalism. It is ensured by (critical) cooperation in scientific working groups and clear responsibilities.
regulated, not necessarily hierarchical organizational structures,
the delegation of tasks or functional division of responsibility,
the awareness of the rights and obligations of the individual,
Supervisory and accountability obligations,
effective care of young scientists
Avoid / detect / resolve conflicts.
1.2 Data documentation
To ensure the quality and thus good scientific practice further includes the documentation of all steps and the safe storage of all records (documentation duty and security), ensuring the reproducibility before publication (criteria of repeatability and traceability) as well as the creation of access for authorized Third.
1.3 Authorship
An essential aspect is the responsibility of (co-) authorship. The authors of scientific publications are jointly responsible for their content; Honorary Authorities are excluded. The author is accountable, identifies with the scientific result and warrants the content of the publication.
2. Rules of Good Scientific Practice in the Max Born Institute
2.1 Organizational structures
Responsible for the direction, supervision, conflict resolution and quality assurance of the scientific work of the Max Born Institute are the directors who can delegate this task in individual cases to department and project managers.
Unless explicitly stated in points 2.2 to 2.6 of these instructions, those responsible shall ensure, by appropriate instructions, that the objectives of each scientist's research and tasks are defined, defined and distributed, and that each employee has his or her responsibilities (rights and obligations) clearly assigned , regular controls on compliance with targets / milestones are carried out and younger scientists / PhD students / diploma students are adequately cared for and advised.
The primary data used for a publication (research, measurement data) as well as self-explanatory documentation are clearly stored on suitable data media (eg CD-ROM). This also applies in particular to dissertations, diploma theses and, if applicable, habilitations. Responsible for the preparation of the documentation are the department heads.
The department heads hand over the entire documentation, including a reprint of the publication of the library of the Max Born Institute, where the documentation is kept centrally and kept for 10 years. When reconciling the data for the reporting of the KLR the completeness of the documentation is checked. These reports go to the directors.
In the laboratories of the Max-Born-Institut, page-numbered laboratory books are to be permanently kept and kept, which document the laboratory work carried out there. The project managers ensure that the laboratory books are available for review at any time. In the long term, the laboratory books are to be kept by the department heads. (See 1.2)
2.3 Training
In the training and technical support / supervision of young scientists, it must be ensured that the rules of good scientific practice are conveyed and that special attention is paid to their compliance. The directors ensure this within their respective area of responsibility and ensure appropriate documentation.
Responsible for the training are the directors and their habilitated or university-affiliated employees. As a rule, the diploma and doctoral candidates are assigned a direct supervisor from the scientific staff.
2.4 Evaluation criteria
In promotions, attitudes and vocations, originality and quality of the publications have priority over quantity. Not only is the frequency of citation crucial, but the content of the publication is necessary. "Productivity" can only be seen in conjunction with quality indicators.
As authors of an original scientific publication, all but those who have contributed significantly to the design of the studies or experiments, to the preparation, analysis, interpretation of the data or to the formulation of the manuscript itself and have consented to its publication, i. to take responsibility for them.
Collecting data, funding the research, directing the department or project group where the research was conducted, or reading the manuscript are usually not authorship. (See 1.3)
2.5 original publications
Original publications are announcements of new observations or experimental results including conclusions. It follows that multiple publication of the same results is not allowed.
In order to ensure the verifiability of the scientific investigation, the publication must contain a precise description of the methods and results, unless the particular form of publication (abstract, short communication) expressly excludes this.
Findings that support the authors 'hypothesis, such as findings that reject the authors' hypothesis, must be shared equally.
Findings and ideas of other scientists as well as relevant publications of other authors must be adequately quoted.
The fragmentation of studies with the aim of separate publications should be avoided.
3. Ombudsman
In the case of disagreements and disputes about behavior that can be attributed to scientific misconduct, the Ombudsman elected in the Max Born Institute can be approached in the interest of mediation and counseling (see point 1.1 of the Rules of Procedure in case of suspected scientific misconduct of the FVB ).
The Ombudsman is directly available to all scientists for advice and support in matters of good scientific practice and their violation by scientific dishonesty. The Ombudsman sees itself as a consultancy and mediation facility. This also applies in particular to the counseling of persons who want to bring to the attention of investigative bodies or who have brought scientific misconduct and are thus exposed to possible sanctions.
The Ombudsman has no formal rules of procedure but is guided by the principles of confidentiality, procedural fairness and transparency for the parties involved. The procedure is - as far as possible - conducted in consensus with the participants.
The detection of scientific misconduct and the imposition of sanctions is not the task of the Ombudsman. However, if there is reason to suspect scientific misconduct, the Ombudsman may initiate proceedings in accordance with the above-mentioned. Rules of Procedure of the FVB.

Michael Peca is interested in becoming a member of the New York Rangers, but has given the team a deadline by which they need to sign him otherwise he will consider other offers.
Peca traveled to New York City last week to take a physical with the team and it appears that, if he passed, an offer would follow. However Blueshirts' GM Glen Sather was unavailable for negotiations over the weekend according to the NY Post.
The two-time Selke Trophy winner certainly has interest in coming into New York.
"Obviously, over the last few years they've added some players that can contribute to a pretty good squad. I think anybody on the outside would look at that situation and hope there's a fit."
There is some speculation there may be issues with his legs. The center only played in 35 games last season due to a leg injury which required surgery but insists he is healthy.
"It's a non-issue," he said in the Daily News. "I've been skating for the better part of 2-1/2 months now. My speed and anything I can do on the ice is where I want it."
Peca has reportedly received other offers from the Columbus Blue Jackets and his former team the Toronto Maple Leafs, but will wait to hear from the Rangers before making a decision. All teams are likely to be offering a one-year deal in the $1-$1.25 million range plus incentives.
With the Rangers Peca would be filling the spot left behind when they traded Matt Cullen back to Carolina. Peca is a strong defensive forward and would be the third line center and an important penalty killer.

Q: Trouble casting NaNs to type 'category' in Pandas I'm having trouble with nan values after converting them with astype('category'). I am using pandas 1.1.3 and numpy 1.19.1.
import pandas as pd
import numpy as np

employees = pd.DataFrame.from_dict({'First Name':['Douglas', 'Thomas', 'Maria'],
                                'Gender': ['Male', 'Male', 'Female'],
                                'Start Date': ['1993-08-06', '1996-03-31', np.datetime64('NaT')],
                                'Salary':[0, 61933, 130590],
                                'Mgmt': [True, True, False],
                                'Team': ['Marketing', np.nan, 'Finance']})

Before conversion when you test the individual elements of a slice of elements the result is the same.
>>> employees.loc[1, 'Team'] != 'Finance'
True

>>> employees['Team'] != 'Finance'
True
True
False

However after casting to astype('category') the result of the logic test is different between the individual elements and the slice:
>>> employees['Team'] = employees['Team'].astype('category')
>>> employees.loc[1, 'Team'] != 'Finance'
True

>>> employees['Team'] != 'Finance'
True
False
False

Can someone please explain what is going on?

A: The docs say that nan is not a valid category entry -

Missing values should not be included in the Categorical's categories,
only in the values. Instead, it is understood that NaN is different,
and is always a possibility. When working with the Categorical's
codes, missing values will always have a code of -1

The nan in your dataframe will compare not equal to any valid categorical entry, i.e.
(df['Team_Cat'] != 'Finance')[1] == (df['Team_Cat'] == 'Finance')[1]

Q: pyinstaller package of pyqgis 3 standalone program failed import qgis.core I have a working standalone pyqgis program with mapping ability, it was in python 2.7 and qgis 2.x library. I used pyinstaller to package it up. Now I have migrated this application to python 3.6 and qgis 3.2.1-Bonn and pyqt 5.9. It is working fine in the PyCharm environment, the map is working, basically, qgis imports are working, such as:
from qgis.core import QgsApplication, QgsVectorLayer

I tried to package it up with pyinstaller 3.3.1 (as I have done successfully for the python 2.7 version of the program), it can get all of the qgis pyd/dlls into the package and the Qt GUI is running, it just keeps failing the qgis import statements such as above. The whole package is gathered into the C:\dist\qgis_test\ folder that contains the following qgis libs:
qgis._core.pyd
qgis._gui.pyd
qgis_core.dll
qgis_gui.dll
qgis_native.dll

When running the packaged executable file, it always bombs at the point of importing modules from the qgis.core or qgis.gui packages as shown below:
PYIMOD03: fullname=qgis._gui
PYIMOD03: filename=C:\dist\qgis_test\qgis._gui.pyd
PYIMOD03: fullname=qgis._core
PYIMOD03: filename=C:\dist\qgis_test\qgis._core.pyd
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "qgis_test.py", line 4, in <module>
    from qgis.core import QgsApplication, QgsVectorLayer, QgsProject
  File "C:\OSGeo4W64\apps\Python36\lib\site-packages\PyInstaller\loader\pyimod03_importers.py", line 631, in exec_module
    exec(bytecode, module.__dict__)
  File "qgis\core\__init__.py", line 27, in <module>
  File "C:\OSGeo4W64\apps\Python36\lib\site-packages\PyInstaller\loader\pyimod03_importers.py", line 716, in load_module
    module = loader.load_module(fullname)
ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified procedure could not be found.

The thing is that all of the PyQt5 libraries are all imported without error.
I've already set the following environmental variables to the package root directory (because that's where qgis_core.dll and qgis_gui.dll are located) like I did for the python 2 package:
QGIS, QGIS_PREFIX_PATH, PATH, PYTHONPATH, QT_PLUGIN_PATH

I pretty much searched and read up all python3 qgis related threads here and via google, but not much information is out there. Also, I noticed that the Qt plugins are under PyQt5\Qt\plugins within the package directory, I also set the environment variables accordingly to that, but still no luck. It keeps failing on those qgis import statements.

Реслінг () — театралізована спортивна боротьба, поєднує елементи атлетизму, бойових мистецтв та театральної вистави. Унікальний вид спорту заснований на греко-римській боротьбі з сучасними додаваннями вражаючих атак, міцність тримається в основному на кидках і акробатичних маневрах, велика частина цих прийомів взяті надихаючись різними міжнародними бойовими мистецтвами. Додатковий аспект боротьби з імпровізованою зброєю іноді входить в різні ступені.

Загальні відомості
Професійний реслінг широко поширився як вид видовища, особливо в Північній Америці, Мексиці і Японії, причому в кожній з цих країн він представлений в унікальному та самобутньому вигляді. Організації, які проводять реслінг — шоу, називаються «промоушен» (). Найбільший і найбільш відомий промоушен — американський World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE).

У першу чергу, реслінг — це розвага. Головні моменти поєдинку (споти) заплановані заздалегідь, але звичайні прийоми є імпровізацією. Таким чином, зводяться до мінімуму небезпечні травми. Раніше театральна основа реслінгу приховувалася, але, на даний час, ні для кого вже не секрет, що реслінг — постановчий вид спорту. Але при цьому, всі сценарії зберігаються у секреті та розкриваються публічно лише в ході шоу. Збереження таємниці здійснюється з метою підтримання інтересу і відчуття правдоподібності дійства.

Традиції реслінгу склалися ще в XIX столітті у Франції. Там в моді була, так звана, французька боротьба. Звідти вона поширилася в Європу і Сполучені Штати Америки. У США цей вид театралізованої боротьби став дуже популярний в кінці XIX століття. Сучасного вигляду реслінг набув у 70-ті роки XX століття.

Реслінг у світі
Майже всі щотижневі шоу виходять в записі. Проте, шоу RAW(WWE) протягом багатьох років випускає шоу в прямому ефірі кожного понеділка в США, та у вівторок в Україні. Список транслювання шоу:

Реслінг в Україні
В Україні реслінг став популярним в основному завдяки каналу Куй-ТБ (QTV), який транслював шоу відомого промоушена WWE (SmackDown!, RAW, Tough Enough, ECW, NXT) з 2009 по 2013 роки. Трансляція, як правило, виходила із запізненням у місяць. На відміну від російського телебачення (2×2), в Україні показували повну версію шоу. Фрази дублерів-коментаторів, Бєлкіна та Новака, стали популярними в простій українській громадськості (наприклад, фраза «от сосєдєй вам прівєт!», або «Євпатій Коловрат!»).

Із 2016 року не припинялися побажання тисяч фанатів WWE щодо трансляції реслінгу на телеканалі 2+2. Влітку 2016 на питання фанів, чи з'явиться реслінг WWE на телеканалі 2+2, представник телеканалу повідомив наступне: «До осені точно ні, а далі поки що невідомо, але ваші побажання обов'язково передамо». Але на жаль цього так і не сталося.

У 2021 році Бєлкін та Новак заявили, про повернення на простори інтернету. Починаючи з квітня і до сьогодні, щомісяця, вони озвучують кожне PPV.

Типи матчів реслінгу
 One Fall Match — звичайний бій. Реслери б'ються сам на сам, перемагає той, хто утримає свого суперника на лопатках протягом 3 ударів рефері по ринзі (пін) або примусить здатися, за допомогою больового (сабмішн) чи по нокдауну. Перемогти можна і по дискваліфікації, якщо інший порушив правила, та в разі вилучення, коли суперник не встигає повернутися на ринг до кінця відрахунку рефері до 10 (каунт-аут). Але в останніх двох випадках переможець не отримує чемпіонський пояс. Нічия зараховується, якщо обоє не можуть продовжувати бій, при утриманні лопатки обох торкалися рингу і при подвійному вилученні.
 Pin Fall Count Anywhere — бій без дискваліфікацій, де пін можливий не лише на ринзі.
 Special Guest Referee Match — коли рефері бою виступає спеціально запрошений гість — відомий реслер, менеджер, актор або будь-яка інша відома людина.
 Death Match — для перемоги потрібно побити суперника так, щоб той не зміг встати по відрахунку рефері до 10, після того, як зробиш пін.
 Last Man Standing Match — аналогічний попередньому, тільки пін не потрібен.
 First Blood Match — бій до першої крові.
 Retirement Match (Career Threatening Match) — поєдинок, у якому переможений повинен покинути компанію або взагалі закінчити свою кар'єру. Ця умова може бути застосована як до одного, так і до двох учасників поєдинку
 2/3 Falls Match — виграє реслер, який двічі з трьох утримає свого суперника на лопатках при 3 ударах рефері або примусить здатися.
 Multiple Finishes Match — для перемоги реслер повинен зробити на супернику 3 свої фінішера.
 Iron Man Match — перемагає реслер, який за даний проміжок часу, зазвичай годину, більше разів утримав суперника на лопатках або примусив здатися.
 Tables Match — матч, в якому для перемоги треба зламати стіл тілом суперника. Якщо він просто перечепився і впав на стіл, перемога також зараховується.
 Fire Table Match — посередині рингу стоїть палаючий стіл. Переможе реслер, який кине суперника (на) палаючий стіл.
 Ladder Match — матч з драбинами між кількома реслерами. Для перемоги треба поставити драбину в центрі рингу і зняти звисаючий зверху чемпіонський пояс чи кейс з контрактом на бій за титул в будь-який час, в будь-якому місці
 Tables, Ladders and Chairs (TLC) — матч зі столами, драбинами та стільцями (СДС).Все той же бій з драбинами, в якому дозволено використовувати столи та стільці.
 King of the Mountain — ще один вид матчу з драбинами, в якому пояс потрібно не зняти, а навпаки повісити на спеціальний гачок над рингом. Але це можна зробити тільки після утримання одного із реслерів, цей тип матчів використовувався тільки у TNA на цей час.

Mars One (Paperback)
Humanity's Next Great Adventure: Inside the First Human Settlement on Mars
By Norbert Kraft (Editor), Gerard 't Hooft (Foreword by), James R. Kass (Editor)
Benbella Books, 9781940363837, 304pp.
Human curiosity has led us to explore our solar system, landing on the moon and sending spacecraft to study distant planetary objects.
The next step in our great adventure is putting humans on Mars, but what will it really take to achieve this?
In 2011, Mars One announced its intentions to establish a permanent human settlement on Mars beginning as early as 2024; in 2013 it launched its astronaut-selection program and received thousands of applications. The highly anticipated Mars One documentary series will provide a window into the captivating details of the crew selection and training process, allowing the whole world to follow along as Mars' first settlers prepare for their mission.
Now, with Mars One: Humanity's Next Great Adventure, you can step even further inside the experience of these astronaut pioneers and explore the various human dimensions of Mars One's planned expeditions. Edited by Norbert Kraft, MD, Mars One's Chief Medical Officer and head of crew selection and training, as well as crew selection and training committee members James R. Kass, PhD, and Raye Kass, PhD, this collection of essays from scientists, psychologists, and more provides a behind-the-scenes look at the process and criteria used to choose candidates, fascinating details about what they'll learn, and predictions about their future lives on Mars.
Inside, you'll find in-depth discussions of:
The essential skills and training the Mars One astronauts will need to journey to and then survive on Mars, from technical and medical know-how to the interpersonal skills necessary for working in confined quarters so far from home
The challenges of going through the selection and training process while being watched by millions around the world, and what Mars One hopes watching the process will mean for viewers at home
Inside information, including images, on the planned Mars One habitats and colonization timeline
What settlers can expect on Mars, from daily work activities in a hostile environment to communication with Earth and options for leisure time
The book also includes excerpts from candidate questionnaires, allowing readers to enter the minds of prospective Martians like never before.
Norbert Kraft, MD, received "The NASA Group Achievement Award 2013," one of the most prestigious awards a group can receive, presented to selected groups who have distinguished themselves by making outstanding contributions to the NASA mission. In 2010, Kraft received the 2010 Award for "Outstanding Accomplishments in the Psychological and Psychiatric Aspects of Aerospace Medicine." He has over 20 years of experience in aviation and aerospace research and development. His primary area of expertise is developing physiological and psychological countermeasures to combat the negative effects of long-duration spaceflight. Dr. Kraft's experiences span Europe, Asia, and the United States, where he has worked for several international space agencies, including the Russian Space Agency and the Japanese Space Agency. Dr. Kraft is an author of over 40 papers in the field of aerospace medicine, including a seminal paper on intercultural crew issues in long-duration spaceflight. He has an M.D. from University of Vienna, Austria, and is a Fellow of the Aerospace Medical Association. Dr. James R. Kass has been working in the field of human spaceflight for more than 30 years.

On January 21, 1957, Charles A. Coolidge, Jr. and Marshall Kincaid came together to establish C&K Components, Inc. The company was originally a manufacturer of magnetic core memory units.
In the 1960s, C&K reorganized to produce miniature switches for the computer and electronics industry – and never looked back. The company was instantly successful because of its focus on customer needs and providing excellent service.
By the mid-1990s, C&K had become one of the world's leading switch manufacturers – and one of the most trusted brands in the industry.
The company's success led it to being acquired by ITT Industries in the 2000s and eventually becoming ITT's switch division, retaining the C&K name. In 2011, C&K acquired China's Comax Industrial, helping to reinforce the global nature of the company's operations and expand its design and manufacturing capabilities.
C&K has come a long way since those early days, but we're still proud to uphold the approach of our founders by making sure every customer that works with us is truly satisfied. Today, that expectation of excellence means being able to obtain the perfect switch from C&K, or to work with us to custom-develop it. Customers still come first.
Here at C&K, we're proud that the company is still going strong some 60 years after Coolidge and Kincaid decided to take a chance and follow their dreams. It is a testament to the great team members that have come through our doors that the company remains at the forefront of switch technology.

Netherlands company, Heijs Groep, has produced poultry for discerning customers throughout the UK and Europe for more than 60 years. For the past five years its poultry processing plant at Hoogeveen has used high performance metal detection systems produced by leading UK designer and manufacturer, Fortress Technology, strengthening that relationship recently with an order for three additional machines through Benelux distributor, Jansen Techniek.
Site Manager at Heijs Groep's poultry processing plant, Jan Meijer comments: "Our company philosophy is "Product Safety Above All Else" and we pride ourselves on guaranteeing the best quality poultry products, maximum product safety and humane poultry farming."
He continues: "In order to maintain these high standards, we need to ensure that our metal detection systems are accurate, fast and reliable and we have found that to be the case with the Phantom equipment from Fortress Technology supplied by Jansen Techniek."
The latest three metal detectors join four Fortress machines previously installed on Heijs Groep's poultry packaging lines over the past five years and highlight the Dutch company's long term relationship with and commitment to Fortress Technology.
Explains Onno Lukkien at Jansen Techniek: "Heijs Groep particularly favours the Fortress Phantom with IP69K certified BSH extra-rugged casing for complete waterproof protection, since their production lines are cleaned every day with high pressure hoses.
"Each of the models supplied has been custom-made along with a conveyor system for this customer, with a variety of aperture sizes ranging from 350mm x 150mm to 550mm x 325mm. One of the reasons Fortress machines were chosen once again was because they are very easy to use and install, plus they are robust and reliable."
The latest three 550mm x325mm additions to the Heijs Groep production line are inspecting a range of different poultry products including whole chickens, fillets and wings, which are packaged in crates and paper boxes weighing between 5 and 25 kg.
The Phantom metal detectors use the latest Digital Signal Processing (DSP) technology to detect and reject ferrous and non-ferrous metals and are known for their superior speed, accuracy and ease of use. The UltraSense feature maintains high sensitivity levels to detect even the smallest metal contaminants.
Established in the UK since 1999, Fortress Technology is backed by skilled in-house design, technical and consultancy teams and a growing distributor network. The company offers high quality spare parts, flexible warranty packages, training, product testing and rental units.

Q: R: Text separation into new columns ie mutate in R I have a very large dataset (189k) with >250 variables where the variables have been inserted using web-based tick boxes. Some variables have then been combined into single lines such as medical comorbidities:
Chronic Pulmonary Disease|Congestive Cardiac Failure|Hypertension|Diabetes|Obesity (BMI>35)|Ischaemic Heart Disease
This variable has ~1500 combinations of medical conditions like the above line. I want to mutate into separate columns for example Col 1: Hypertension (Yes/No), Col 2: Diabetes (Yes/No) ... so that the presence or absence of a pre-existing condition can be used as predictive variables.
Is there a way to code this in R?

A: It looks to me like you have data where there is a variable of all medical conditions, separated by | — something like:
   Patient                                       Comorbids
1:  D88310                       Diabetes|Obesity (BMI>35)
2:   B9939                                            <NA>
3:   J3923                   Hypertension|Obesity (BMI>35)
4:  H09203 Hypertension|Diabetes|Chronic Pulmonary Disease

Using the tstrsplit() function from the data.table package to split that up and grepl() you can score the presence of each disease in each patient as:
# Remove braces (pay attention to these sorts of issues)
data1[, Comorbids := gsub("\\(|\\)", "", Comorbids)]

# Split the strings into individual values - unique used to find all unique values
conditions <- unique(unlist(tstrsplit(data1[, Comorbids], "\\|")))
conditions <- conditions[!is.na(conditions)]

# Score the occurence and add on to data
data2 <- data.table(data1[, -c("Comorbids")],
                    sapply(conditions, grepl, data1[, Comorbids]))

Giving:
   Patient Diabetes Hypertension Obesity BMI>35 Chronic Pulmonary Disease
1:  D88310     TRUE        FALSE           TRUE                     FALSE
2:   B9939    FALSE        FALSE          FALSE                     FALSE
3:   J3923    FALSE         TRUE           TRUE                     FALSE
4:  H09203     TRUE         TRUE          FALSE                      TRUE

Situated in the picturesque wooded valley of the River Teise, this impressive abbey was built in the 13th century by Premonstratensian monks. In the 18th century the ruins were landscaped to provide a romantic view from Bayham Old Abbey House.
This guidebook gives a description of the abbey as it can be seen today and as it was built, followed by a brief history of the abbey and those connected with it.
