The tri colors coming from the sparkling fountains are something that is loved by both children and adults. The bright colored fountains are really appealing to the eyes and add real flavor to this day. The fountains are a real treat to the eyes and they provide showers of sparkles for quite a long time. If you love colors and lights at the same time, then this is the product for you. The fountains of the flower pots emit some of the dazzling colors that are a real treat to the eyes. So add this to your wishlist and have a wonderful Diwali this time with your family and friends.

Q: Get scope from within model in ActiveRecord I'm currently building a query like this:
account.sales.method_needing_more_account_info(account)

I want to be able determine account based on the scope that is already there, simplifying the method calls to something like this:
account.sales.method_pulling_account_from_scope

I'm doing this as the account model holds certain settings that determine how sales data is presented and alter the queries to match.

A: Scopes are class methods and therefore unaware of instance variables and attributes, in order to do what you are asking you have to stick to your first code sample.
The alternative would be to write a method that returns the data
Rails 2
# returns an array of results
def more_account_info
  self.sales.all(:conditions => [])
end

# i've also added an initializer to allow for returning a scope before
# details here: http://railscasts.com/episodes/112-anonymous-scopes
class ActiveRecord::Base
  scope :conditions, lambda { |*args| {:conditions => args} }
end

# which allows for me to return a scoped object (chainable)
def more_account_info
  scope = Account.scoped({})
  scope = scope.sales
  scope = scope.conditions ""
end

or in rails 3 you could return an Arel object (chainable)
Rails 3
# returns an arel object rather than an array of results
def more_account_info
  self.sales.where("")

I have procrastinated until the 11th hour on this message to you all. Even as I write, I can feel the sinuses below my eyes pulsing, the left side of my jaw subtly aching, and my right temple alive with some kind of little sharp stabbing thing.
I feel exhausted. For a multitude of reasons known and ever more unknown, I am exhausted in this moment.
With that acknowledgment, I also know.
I'm in my not knowing space.
It is a space with which I am familiar. It is a gift of a space as it means I'm not limited by my likes or dislikes, my preferences or avoidances, or a plethora of other boxes that we tend to put around our contentment.
It can simultaneously (and not surprisingly) also be a scary space as not knowing is huge. It is vast. It is infinite.
I am grateful that it is a space where I have learned to ride the moment because the moment is ever changing and a mystery constantly in play. Unfolding. Unwinding. Revealing what Is in exchange for what we think should Be.
I don't have words to share with you because I am a blank slate right now. I am riding through space at whatever crazy speed this earth flies (67,000 mph according to a Google search).
I am in the place where I'm riding some epic waves of feeling – many are towering and mighty in power. And I am getting sucked under some – thrown for a tumble or two before coming up for air. And as a breather at times, I am catching some smaller and sweeter waves – glimpses of simplicity of the Now in children, breeze, birds and sunshine.
And to support myself in the place of not knowing, I need Space and Rest. I need stillness and dear friends. I need sunshine and the mourning dove. I need trust and surrender.
I have faith that each will continue to meet me in the moment that I need it.
Now is the moment to serve me, to care for me, to love me deeply. I shall do so. And if closing your eyes for a moment and sending your compassion my way is an option, I accept it with open arms.
And, closing my eyes in this moment, I send the same to you.
and I send my deep trust in your skillful navigation of your own dear and beautiful life.


One of the first challenges has been to repair the teak frame of the carriage; and undo the damage caused by many decades of human use and exposure to the elements. Surprisingly, in spite of being a timber frame, most of the damage has been caused by rust.
In the 1890s, the normal way to construct the wooden framework of a railway carriage was to use traditional joints such as 'mortise and tenon' and 'lap joints'. In the absence of any effective glue, steel woodscrews were used to keep these joints together. Where further reinforcement was required steel brackets were added, held in place by bolts or coachscrews. Over time these steel screws and bolts have rusted, and as they rusted they have caused considerable damage.
As the screws and bolts slowly rusted, the expanding corrosion inexorably forced the wood apart, bending and splitting it. In some places, such as the tops of the corner posts, the fixings have split and splayed the timber in every possible direction.
To repair this sort of damage, the rusty fixings must first be carefully removed, the splits stabilised, holes plugged, and finally the surface replaced with a structural veneer of sound material. Once complete, the repair will be visually unobtrusive and should last for many years.
The above information was kindly provided by David Gunn, a Festiniog Railway craftsman working on the restoration of Met 353.
The next element of the Paintings in Hospitals Soundscape Poster Project took us all off to the Museum Depot in Acton Town. Jumpers on, and avoiding the washing of buses prior to the open weekend, we explored the depot and had a chance to see some of the posters from the 40,000 strong collection. Gloves on, we were able to take a closer look. Participants were then able to compare their drawings from the first day of the project with the original posters (below).
Museum Curator Robert Excel was on hand to give one of his enigmatic tours of the depot which served to exceed the participants expectations. Then the difficult decision came – which poster will we choose to create a soundscape for? Due to the tour being so interesting and general enjoyment, time ran out and I set the task for the group to email me with their choice of poster, with 3 reasons for their choice and sounds they would like to record.
Join us again to find out about how we get on at Royal Botanic Gardens Kew.

Q: get values from a nested dictionary using lambda values of the dictionary are ArrayList of ArrayList I need to retrieve values from dictionary which stores a ArrayList which in turn has an ArrayList This second ArrayList has int array stored . Now how can I retrieve those integer values.   `
        Dictionary<int, ArrayList> obj = new Dictionary<int, ArrayList>();

        ArrayList objList1 = new ArrayList();

        ArrayList objList2 = new ArrayList();

        ArrayList objList3 = new ArrayList();

        Int32[] a1 = new Int32[5] {11, 21, 32, 43, 50 };
        Int32[] b1 = new Int32[5] { 123, 2321, 3212, 4983, 5760 };
        Int32[] c1 = new Int32[5] { 1341, 2991, 3552, 4663, 5880 };

        objList2.Add(a1);
        objList2.Add(b1);
        objList2.Add(c1);

        objList1.Add(objList2);
        objList1.Add(objList3);

        obj.Add(1, objList1);
        obj.Add(2, objList3);`

this could be done easily with List. I trying it solve with ArrayList. Firstly is it possible? Thanks in advance.

A: Do you mean something like this?
foreach(var item in obj.Values
    .SelectMany(x => x.Cast<ArrayList>())
    .SelectMany(x => x.Cast<int[]>())
    .SelectMany(x => x))
{
    Console.WriteLine(item);
}

output:
11
21
32
43
50
123
2321
3212
4983
5760
1341
2991
3552
4663
5880

A: obj
   .SelectMany(x=>x.Value.Cast<ArrayList>())
   .SelectMany(x=>x.Cast<int[]>())
   .SelectMany(x=>x)

Autumn in the North Cemetery.
Sixty miles west of Boston, Massachusetts there is the small New England town of Sturbridge. Located at the junction of I-90 (The Mass Pike), and I-84 it has become known as the "Crossroads of New England". The town was first settled over 300 years ago, and like other small New England towns it has grown just enough over the years to be in a difficult place today. How do we embrace the future without forgetting how we got to our present? How do we attract the right kind of growth, and maintain who we are? And, what about our culture out here in Central Massachusetts?
These pages will cause one to think about how to protect what we have, our future direction, and how to move on in the very best way.
Those thoughts, and other ramblings, will hopefully inspire more thought, conversation, action, and occasionally a smile...
...seems to be working so far
"Excuse Me, It's Just Gas."
Gasoline is $3.89 to $4.12 per gallon today in and around Sturbridge.
(sigh).
Not much one can do about lowering the price, but conserving what one does buy can be done. It's not an easy thing though. I've been told that it takes 30 days to fully form a new habit. Probably takes longer to break one, but I have been trying to change my ways.
When I first started to drive, back in the early '70's ( I was 4 years old), the least expensive gas was sold at a place on Route 109 in Westwood/Walpole/Dover area at Maiders Gas Station.
27 cents a gallon.
1971, not not 1938. The rest of the gas stations were only 2-3 cents more, but when you are only making $2.00 an hour, and $5.00 worth of gas would last forever, so it was worth the ride to Maiders. Problem was I worked at the Sunoco Station three miles west of Maiders. The owners seldom saw me gas up at work. Money was tight for a teenager living on his own, and gas was too important to skimp on. Sometimes, after I closed up, and turned the pumps off at 9:00 PM, I'd drive my 1963 Malibu SS convertible to each of the pumps and drain off the bit of gas left in the hoses right into my gas tank.
So, like many of you, gasoline and I go back a ways. The gas crisis's that occurred later are more than familiar, but like everything else, times change, prices inch up, salaries rise and one day your complacency gets the best of you, and --Surprise!!
We love to take drives around the area. Exploring new roads, stopping at new places. For me, it is therapy . Drop the top, and let the wind blow the week out of my head. It has become an expensive therapy, but still so necessary. A couple of weeks ago Mary and I discovered Westview Farm in Monson. Everyone else knows about it, but the view it offers, and the ice cream were brand new to us. It was a lot of fun eating ice cream, watching the little goats horse around in their pen, and while the sun went down. Worth every penny of gas. We don't take the drives as often now. A lot less often.
My commute is exactly 60.5 miles from my driveway to my parking spot at work. My truck gets about 18 miles per gallon on a good day. I work full time, but thank goodness it is only three 12 hour days a week, with an occasional fourth thrown in for exhaustion.
That's about $27.00 a day to drive to work. $80.00 a week. $240.00 a month.
And, if I want to drive to Shaws, well it is that much more.
The obvious question is, "Hey, Knucklehead, why are you driving a tank to Boston?" Well, remember three years ago the auto manufacturers were sharply discounting their vehicles with "Employee Pricing"? Well, I bit, and saved a boat load of money, but there was an ultimate price to pay. My Sebring was paid for, but I always wanted a full size truck. Never know, I may have to haul something. I signed papers, and 3 days later, gas prices went to $3.00 per gallon.
Nobody wants a big vehicle today, so trading it in would be difficult, and selling it privately would be hard as well. I have to eat it. [ Subliminal message: 2005 Ford Kings Ranch with saddle leather interior, and all the goodies. The stereo is sweet. Make an offer.]
I guess changing ones behavior is the best way one can fight back. That, and scaling down the size of ones vehicle. Commutes are more difficult to change for most of us. We go where the work is.
Like heating our homes, the behaviors that we have settled for for some time regarding our driving needs to change as well. You know all the tips. It will be challenge to change.
I wonder how Mopeds handle in the snow?

ROBERT LAMM SELECTED LYRICS Now Available
Marmont Lane books is proud to release ROBERT LAMM SELECTED LYRICS, a folio collection of the lyrical work of Robert Lamm, founding member of the musical group "Chicago."
The collection contains more than 30 of Lamm's compositions, including many of his best-known songs such as Saturday In The Park and Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is? as well as songs from his solo works and others never before seen in print.
"I don't recall how, or why I began writing lyrics. My first songs were perhaps unusual, but sincere. As a primary songwriter for Chicago we experienced overwhelming success during our unexpectedly long sequence of recorded albums. Music and lyrics are very separate creations. I love doing both. My songs provided the opportunity to experiment, learn and develop as a musician. My music evolved, and so did my lyric vocabulary and intentions." – Robert Lamm
From the Star-Advertiser – Published March 22nd, 2020
New book delves into Chicago's Robert Lamm's life, lyrics
Robert Lamm owns an important place in musical history as founding member of the band Chicago, and as one of the three founding members who is still touring. Originally named the Chicago Transit Authority, Chicago received long overdue recognition when Lamm and other original members were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2014, after 20 years of eligibility.
Lamm's contributions to Chicago's success including writing six of the group's most memorable early hits – "Beginnings," "Dialog Part 1 and 2," "Questions 67 and 68," "Saturday in the Park," "25 or 6 to 4" and "Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is?" He shares the lyrics of those songs and 30 more in his newly published book "Robert Lamm Selected Lyrics" ($17.95, paperback, amazon.com).
In addition to his work with Chicago, Lamm has written and recorded with other artists, and as a solo artist. Favorite songs from those chapters of his career are included as well.
Lamm writes in the introduction that he wanted his children "to know about my journey and my internal life, perhaps best expressed in my lyrics." With Robert Lamm Selected Lyrics he share that knowledge with us as well.
– John Berger, Star-Advertiser
The book is available at Amazon, and wherever fine books are sold.

Vaccines and Jewish camps: What parents need to know
By	Gabe Friedman	 March 3, 2016 2:44 pm
Campers at Camp Ramah in the Berkshires, Wingdale, New York. (Uriel Heilman)
(JTA) — "All of a sudden, bottles of hand sanitizer appeared all over," said Rabbi Jason Miller, looking back at 2009, when the swine flu craze reached Camp Maas, a Jewish summer camp in Ortonville, Michigan.
"Staff members would stand outside the dining hall with bottles," he told JTA.
Aside from constant reminders about handwashing, the swine flu didn't leave much of a mark on the camp. And now, similar worries about contagious diseases may soon be a distant memory.
Seven years later — in a time that has seen a reinvigorated debate over the validity and efficacy of vaccines — Tamarack Camps, one of the largest and oldest Jewish camp systems in the country (of which Camp Maas, Miller's former employer, is a part), now has a formalized vaccine policy.
"Given the overriding value of Pikuach Nefesh (saving a life) … we are requiring that all campers, staff, artists-in-residence, volunteers, doctors, nurses and their families planning to attend/participate in any Tamarack Camps programs be immunized as outlined," according to an email sent Dec. 30 and signed by multiple Tamarack program directors.
READ: At some day schools, vaccination rates decline even as disease spreads
The announcement stipulated that the camp's attendees must receive the standard list of vaccines recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics and the Center for Disease Control, which includes shots for chicken pox, meningitis and several others. The policy will be phased in over two years beginning this summer.
Through the email, Tamarack Camps — comprised of a main campus and Camp Maas, along with a few "outpost" camps and travel programs — joined other Jewish camps across the country that have formalized vaccine policies requiring staff and campers to be immunized according to state requirements. The policies only allow campers to forego the vaccines for medical reasons (such as an allergy).
Other Jewish camps with such policies include all those under the auspices of the Union for Reform Judaism and the Conservative movement's Ramah umbrella, as well as many independent and specialized camps.
Some Jewish camps, however, stick to state vaccination laws, many allowing for personal or religious exemptions. California, which experienced a widely publicized measles outbreak at Disneyland in early 2015, joined West Virginia and Mississippi as one of only three states that outlaw personal or religious vaccine exemptions after passing a contested bill last summer. The vaccination rate among children in California has already risen even though the new law does not go into effect until July.
Vaccines are generally accepted as a common-sense medical practice across most of the spectrum of religious affiliation in the Jewish community. However, some Orthodox communities have experienced outbreaks of preventable diseases, such as the whooping cough, in recent years. In 2014, the prominent Orthodox Rabbi Shmuel Kamenetzky called vaccines a "hoax." JTA found last year that a range of private Jewish day schools had low student vaccination rates due to the personal or religious exemption loopholes.
Cliff Nerwen, chair of the National Ramah Medical Committee, estimates that at least one family each year tries to send an unvaccinated camper to each of Ramah's nine sleepaway camps.

"I graciously tell them I respect their opinions, but in the light of the larger public health community, it's a risk we're not willing to take," Nerwen said.
In a sign of the times, Tamarack Camps' announcement immediately started an online dispute. Dr. David Brownstein, the medical director of the Center for Holistic Medicine in West Bloomfield, Michigan — the upscale heart of Detroit's Jewish community — called the policy "draconian" in a blog post the next day.

"Perhaps Camp Tamarack is unaware that over $3 billion has been awarded by the Federal Government to children and adults injured by vaccines," Brownstein wrote. "I would like to see where Jewish law says it is safe to inject a neurotoxin into a baby or any living being."
Two days later, Dr. Peter Lipson, an internal medicine specialist who also practices in the West Bloomfield area, called Brownstein's post "dangerous" in a Forbes article.
"Dr. Brownstein is wrong on the facts. That's not my opinion," Lipson wrote. "What is my opinion is that doctors like him are a threat to public health."
Tamarack Camps' decision also caused a bit of a stir in and around the metro Detroit Jewish community. Dr. Kathy Erlich, a Jewish pediatrician against strict vaccine laws who worked in the camp's medical clinic, resigned. And Miller, who wrote about Tamarack's decision for Time, said at least one family left the camp over the policy.
"Of course there are parents out there that have chosen not to vaccinate their children, and I think they always assume that either their personal or their religious reasons for not vaccinating will be accepted," said Paul Reichenbach, the Union of Reform Judaism's director of camp and Israel programs.
The URJ camp system issued a formalized vaccine policy in 2008.
"It came as a surprise to some people," Reichenbach said.
Still, Lipson, who covers science and medicine for Forbes, told JTA that parents of prospective campers should not lose sleep over the medical exemption rule. Some children have legitimate medical reasons to skip a certain vaccine — and they depend on the immunity of the other campers around them even more.
READ: New and improved Jewish camps for our Gilded Age
As to whether or not parents should scrutinize camps that allow non-medical exemptions, Lipson said the issue is worth talking about.
"Because this is such a new question, I'm just starting to ask [it] myself," he said. "Personal belief exemptions are a nightmare."
Lipson pointed out that it can be tough for camps to hold their ground against parents on the vaccine issue because, while everyone has to go to school, they're not required to attend summer camp.
That's partly why he was impressed with Tamarack Camps' decision to publicly state a formal position. At Camp Tamakwa in Ontario, where Lipson volunteers, campers must hand in immunization forms, but he isn't aware of a formal written camp policy.
"I was actually kind of surprised that [Tamarack] did it," Lipson said. "You put a bunch of Jews in a room, and what are the odds you're going to get a consensus?"
(JTA's special section on camps, made possible with funding from the Foundation for Jewish Camp, examines trends affecting Jewish overnight camps.)

How are neighborhood contexts and educational outcomes for low-income Latino and African American youth linked? George Galster and his colleagues examine this question, quantifying the educational benefits of living in certain types of neighborhoods for this population in Denver. Conducting telephone surveys between 2006 and 2008 as part of the Denver Child Study, the authors interviewed caregivers who currently live or previously lived in Denver Housing Authority (DHA) housing for at least two years since 1987, were African American or Latino, and had at least one child under age 18 when the family moved into the DHA unit. The interviews provided data on children's secondary school performance, as measured by three categories: repeating a grade, grade point average, and dropping out before earning a diploma. Using census data and information from The Piton Foundation's Neighborhood Facts Database, the authors matched neighborhood indicators with where respondents lived. To minimize geographic selection bias among those surveyed, the authors limited the selection of participants to those who lived in DHA housing after 1987, when the DHA began matching housing assistance applicants with units that acted like pseudo random assignment, creating a natural experiment. By exploring the relationship between school performance and neighborhood indicators for these youth, the authors identify neighborhood characteristics that are predictors of better educational performance.
Neighborhoods with high-prestige workers are associated with fewer children dropping out of school, especially among Latinos.
Increased vulnerability—a measure that includes socioeconomic indicators like poverty, single female headship, and renter occupancy—in a neighborhood were linked with more students repeating a grade and receiving public assistance as a young adult, especially for Latino children.
Neighborhoods with higher concentrations of African American residents were linked with lower grades for students, particularly for African American children.
Larger percentages of foreign-born residents living in a neighborhood were correlated with fewer African American students dropping out.

Red Alert 2 je realtimová strategická počítačová hra, navazující na úspěšný předchozí díl Command & Conquer: Red Alert. Byla vydaná Westwood studios v roce 2000 a v říjnu roku 2001 byla rozšířena datadiskem Command & Conquer: Yuri's Revenge. Zahraniční servery Red Alert 2 hodnotí velmi kladně.

Strany

Spojenci
Spojenci jsou v této hře stranou, která se brání útoku Sovětů. Z hratelných států sem patří USA, Velká Británie, Německo, Francie a Korea. Ovládají vyspělé technologie a mají na své straně i Alberta Einsteina, který pro ně navrhl Chronosféru (Teleportér založený na zakřivení toku času), Ovladač počasí, který je schopný vyvolat bouři jen trochu slabší než atomová bomba Sovětů anebo Prism věž a Prism tank, jenž střílejí laserové paprsky skvělé proti pěchotě a hlavně budovám. Prism věže se nabíjejí navzájem, a tak vytvoří jeden silný paprsek ze tří věží. Můžou využívat špióny, jejich pěchota se může ohradit zdí z pytlů písku a mají stíhačky.

Sověti
Sověti nebo Rusové jsou jako vždy státem, který upřednostňuje těžký průmysl před lehkým, a proto zde uvidíme třeba dvouhlavňové Apocalypse Assault Tanky, Rhino tanky, vzducholoď-bombardér Kirov, a aby Sověti nebyli pozadu, mají svoji atomovou bombu, bez které by snad ani Sověti nebyli Sověty a jako další vynalezli klonování vojáků a ovládání mysli.

Spojenecké hlavní budovy

Construction Yard
Construction Yard je základní budovou celé hry. Rozbaluje se z pojízdného vozítka MCV (Mobile Construction Vehicle) a nejde jinak postavit. Bez rozbaleného Construction Yard se nedají stavět žádné jiné budovy, tudíž je nutné ho chránit za každou cenu. Pokud ho nepřítel zničí, dá se ve War factory vyrobit nové MCV, ale prakticky se to rovná vyřazení ze hry. V některých misích singleplayer se začíná s již rozbaleným Construction Yard, jindy je k dispozici pouze MCV.

Power Plant
Power Plant je budova sloužící primárně k výrobě elektrické energie. Jelikož pouze Construction Yard si dokáže vyrobit dostatek energie sám pro sebe, je potřeba stavět mnoho Power Plant pro efektivní růst základny. Pokud Power Plant nepokryjí spotřebu, veškerá obrana základny je vyřazena z provozu.

Ore Refinery
Chrono Miner sbírající rudu a diamanty potřebují nějaké místo, kde by svůj cenný náklad odložily, a toto místo se nazývá Ore Refinery. Chrono Miner sem přijede, vyloží rudu nebo diamanty, ty se přetaví v kredity, a on jede sbírat další. Spolu s její stavbou se vytvoří jeden Chrono Miner, jinak se ale musí tvořit ve War factory. Zničení Ore Refinery je velice nebezpečné pro další průběh hry.

Barracks
Veškeré pěchotní jednotky se vycvičují v Barracks. Mnoho dalších budov požaduje pro svoji stavbu mít vystavěné Barracks.

War Factory
Veškerá motorizovaná vozidla včetně MCV se vyrábí právě ve War Factory. Pro stavbu některých dalších budov je nutno mít vystavěnou War Factory. Počítačem ovládaní hráči posílají své superzbraně nejčastěji právě na War Factory.

Airforce Command
Bez postaveného Airforce Command se nezobrazuje radar v pravém horním rohu obrazovky, který slouží k varování před možným nepřátelským útokem. Druhou neméně důležitou funkcí je produkce spojeneckých letadel.

Naval Shipyard
Přístav. Jako jediný může (a dokonce musí) stát na vodě. Slouží k produkci a opravám všech námořních jednotek včetně těch živých.

Service Depot
V Service Depot se opravují veškeré poškozené motorizované jednotky za příslušný počet kreditů. Pokud je v jednotce Terror Drone, bude odstraněn.

Battle Lab
Všechny velké mozky na bitevním poli se soustřeďují v Battle Lab. Jeho vlastnictví je klíčové, neboť je nezbytné pro výstavbu všech pokročilých zbraňových systému a tanků. Vyplatí se ho obehnat Fortress Wall kvůli možné infiltraci nepřátelským špionem.

Ore Purifier
Tato velice nákladná stavba ke všem kreditům natěženým Chrono Miner po její dostavbě přidá něco navíc. Je opravdu velice drahá, ale celkově se její stavba vyplatí a proto ji většina hráčů používá.

Sovětské hlavní budovy

Construction Yard
Construction Yard je základní budovou celé hry. Rozbaluje se z pojízdného vozítka MCV (Mobile Construction Vehicle) a nejde jinak postavit. Bez rozbaleného Construction Yard se nedají stavět žádné jiné budovy, tudíž je nutné ho chránit za každou cenu.

V některých misích singleplayer se začíná s již rozbaleným Construction Yard, jindy je k dispozici pouze MCV.

Tesla Reactor
Tesla Reactor je budova sloužící primárně k výrobě elektrické energie, i když je méně výkonný než jeho spojenecký protejšek. Jelikož pouze Construction Yard si dokáže vyrobit dostatek energie sám pro sebe, je pro efektivní rozšiřování základny potřeba postavit mnoho Tesla Reactorů. Pokud Tesla Reactor nepokryjí spotřebu, veškerá obrana základny je vyřazena z provozu.

Ore Refinery
War Miner sbírající rudu a diamanty potřebují nějaké místo, kde by svůj cenný náklad odložily, a toto místo se nazývá Ore Refinery. War Miner sem přijede, vyloží rudu nebo diamanty, ty se přetaví v kredity, a on jede sbírat další. Spolu s její stavbou se vytvoří jeden War Miner, jinak se ale musí tvořit ve War factory. Zničení Ore Refinery je velice nebezpečné pro další průběh hry.

Barracks
Veškeré pěchotní jednotky se vycvičují v Barracs. Mnoho dalších budov požaduje pro svoji stavbu mít vystavěné Barracs.

Naval Shipyard
Přístav. Jako jediný může (a dokonce musí) stát na vodě. Slouží k produkci a opravám všech námořních jednotek včetně těch živých.

War Factory
Veškerá motorizovaná vozidla včetně MCV se vyrábí právě ve War Factory. Pro stavbu některých dalších budov je nutno mít vystavěnou War Factory. Počítačem ovládaní hráči posílají své superzbraně většinou právě na War Factory.

Radar Tower
Radar Tower slouží k zobrazení radarového okénka v pravém horním rohu obrazovky.

Service Depot
V Service Depot se opravují veškeré poškozené motorizované jednotky za příslušný počet kreditů. Pokud je v jednotce Terror Drone, bude odstraněn.

Battle Lab
Všechny velké mozky na bitevním poli se soustřeďují v Battle Lab. Jeho vlastnictví je klíčové, neboť je nezbytné pro výstavbu všech pokročilých zbraňových systému a Tanků. Vyplatí se ho obehnat Fortress Wall kvůli možné infiltraci nepřátelským špionem.

Nuclear Reactor
Tato větší obdoba Tesla Reactor produkuje dostatek elektrické energie k napájení celé základny. Jeho stavba je výhodnější než stavba mnoha Tesla Reactor, ale při jeho zničení se celá okolní krajina zamoří radioaktivitou a celá základna bude bez elektrické energie.

Cloning Vats
Po postavení Cloning Vats se všechny jednotky, které jsou od té doby vyrobeny v Barracs vyrobí zde ještě jednou zadarmo. Lze sem také poslat vlastní, i psychicky ovládnuté nepřátelské jednotky, které se prodají za kredity.

Spojenecké podpůrné budovy

Fortress Wall
Zeď, kterou musí hráč zničit když se chce dostat na druhou stranu.

Pillbox
Kulometné hnízdo jménem Pillbox je levné a nenáročné. Pillbox je účinný proti pěchotě, ale nepříliš účinný proti motorizovaným jednotkám. Nemůže střílet přes zeď.

Patriot Missile System
Protivzdušná obrana vysílající malé rychlé raketky, které jsou schopné zničit i V3 rakety.

Prism Tower
Geniální bojový systém vymyšlený Albertem Einsteinem je ukryt v této věži. Funguje na principu složitého systému zrcadel a lámání světla. Prism Tower sežehne nepřítele paprskem světla, něco jako laserem. Pokud je vedle sebe víc Prism Tower, jejich paprsky se skládají v jeden velký, který je schopný zničit i velice silné jednotky.

Gap Generator
Gap Generator je schopen ukrýt část mapy okolo sebe před nepřítelem, což dává skrytému hráči jistou výhodu. Gap Generator je ale energeticky velice náročný.

Spy Satellite Uplink
Po připojení na tajné vládní satelity hráč může vidět celou mapu. Jediným úkrytem před Spy Satellite je Gap Generator.

Chronosphere
Jedno z nejstřeženějších Einsteinových tajemství se hráči odemyká po postavení této budovy. Tato superzbraň mu po určité době umožní použít Chronoshift, tedy přesun jednotek teleportací. A to jak svých, tak nepřátelských. Při přesunu lodí na souš a pozemních jednotek do vody ale tyto jednotky okamžitě umírají. Účinky jsou také smrtelné pro pěchotu. Po použití Chronoshift musí hráč opět počkat určitou dobu, než ho bude moct znovu použít.

Weather Control Device
Nejdůmyslnější vynález Alberta Einsteina je opravdu ničivý. Superzbraň Weather Control Device umožní hráčovi po uplynutí 10 minut vyvolat nad nepřátelským územím bouři Lightning Storm, která svými blesky poškozuje budovy a motorizované jednotky, ale okamžitě zabíjí pěchotu. Účinek je spíše plošný s menším poškozením. Po použití Lightning Storm musí hráč opět počkat 10 minut, než ji bude moct znovu použít.

Sovětské podpůrné budovy

Fortress Wall
Zeď, kterou musí hráč zničit když se chce dostat na druhou stranu.

Sentry Gun
Automatizovaný levný kulomet je účinný proti pěchotě, ale ne příliš účinný proti motorizovaným jednotkám. Nemůže střílet přes zeď.

Flak Cannon
Dělo střílející náboje s jedovatým flakem uvnitř. V porovnání s Patriot Missile System je trochu slabší proti raketám V3 ale účinnější proti Rocketeer.

Tesla Coil
Monstrózní věž, kterou vymyslel Nikola Tesla škvaří nepřátelské jednotky silným elektrickým výbojem. Pokud jí začne dodávat energii Tesla Trooper (tak že do ní začne střílet), má větší akční rádius a větší efekt na zasaženou jednotku. Pokud jí nabijí alespoň 2 Tesla Troopeři, může fungovat i při nedostatku elektrické energie.

Psychic Sensor
Pokud se jednotka přesunuje, nebo útočí, a cíl je v dosahu Psychic Sensor, zobrazí se přerušovaná čára od jednotky až k cíli.

Iron Curtain
Iron Curtain umožní po uplynutí určité doby hráči použít Invulnerability, tedy jakýsi štít nad jednotkami nebo budovami, a ty jsou po krátkou dobu nezranitelné. Invulnerability lze použít i na jednotky či budovy jiného hráče. Účinky jsou smrtelné pro pěchotu. Po použití Invulnerability musí hráč opět počkat určitou dobu (Odpočítává se 10 minut, ale záleží na rychlosti hry), než ji bude moct znovu použít.

Nuclear Missile Silo
V tomto silu se po dobu deseti minut staví nukleární střela. Tu potom může hráč zaměřit na jakékoliv místo na mapě, a ona zničí vše okolo a ještě místo na nějakou dobu zamoří radioaktivitou. Účinek je bodový, to znamená naprostou destrukci v místě dopadu, ale malý účinek v okolí. Po použití Nuclear Launch musí hráč opět počkat 10 minut, než se postaví nová střela.

A number of people have asked me how to get into skydiving: here goes a quick guide.
Learning to manage your internal state so that you can jump with confidence is the hardest step. Relaxing in free fall to be stable and in control is challenging. Canopy flying is quite straightforward.
A tandem jump which provides the full experience of jumping without requiring the skills. This is a good way to decide whether you want to have a once-in-a-lifetime experience or a new sport.
Learn to skydive through the Ram-Air Progression System (RAPS). RAPS begins with static line descents, which provide the jump and the canopy flight in full, initially without free fall. As you progress, you experience progressively longer freefalls. This is a slow way to learn to skydive, particularly with British weather.
Learn to skydive through an Accelerated Free Fall (AFF) course. Every jump is a full skydive with particular exercises. You can qualify as an A-licence skydiver in as few as 19 jumps: 8 with instructors, 10 consolidation jumps and a lower-level "hop and pop" to demonstrate emergency exit capability.
My route was a single static line jump at university, 12 jumps of a RAPS course in the RAF and then AFF in Spain a couple of years ago. This was fun but unideal.
Jump tandem to check the sport is for you.
Take 10-15 minutes of vertical wind tunnel time.
Complete AFF in a short period of time.
The vertical wind tunnel will teach you to become stable and perform basic turns. This will save you from experiencing the terror of being out of control in free fall. You should also avoid repeating AFF level 4, your first solo attempt at controlled turns. The largest tunnel is Bodyflight, Bedford, and Airkix is at Milton Keynes with a Manchester venue planned. For this purpose, it does not matter which you use1.
The UK has plenty of drop zones offering AFF: please see this map. You may wish to consider Spain or the USA, where the weather is more reliable. I have used Deland (Florida), Empuriabrava (Costa Brava), Ocaña (Madrid) and Lillo (Madrid). English is spoken at the Spanish drop zones but not so much in the area around Madrid. Ocaña's Freefall University has British instructors.
Allow a week in Spain and several months of weekends in the UK. The continuity of a week in Spain is probably better.
For my part, I would use Ocaña's Freefall University. The nearby town, Aranjuez, is livelier than Lillo. I use the Hotel Don Manuel.
As you will discover when you buy insurance for your skydiving trip, the sport is fairly low-risk in practice. However, you do risk serious injury and death on every descent and, as I discovered after I bought my rig, the equipment is supplied without warranty as to fitness for any particular purpose. This is rather the point: you must take personal responsibility for your self.
When you are ready for formation coaching, I recommend Chris Shaw or Pete Allum. Chris is superb but skydiving with Pete is like playing football with Pelé.

Canadian Press
OTTAWA — Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne says her province's position going into talks about making changes to the Canada Pension Plan isn't the biggest hurdle to getting a deal done — it is other provinces that are balking at retirement reforms.
Ontario is pushing for changes to the CPP that would mirror the provincial pension program it promised to create, and plans to start phasing in next year and charging new premiums to pay for the plan the year after that.

Comment: Expanding the CPP won't help Canada's most vulnerable seniors
Ottawa sees Ontario stance on CPP as roadblock to expanding pension plan
Federal officials see Ontario's position in the talks as a key hurdle to negotiating an agreement, but Wynne said her province has not been the problem in discussions around CPP reform.
"We remain the champions of CPP enhancement," Wynne said Friday at an event in Ottawa.
"We have continued to be at the table when other provinces have not necessarily been putting forward retirement security as a priority. We have continued to bring it to the table."
Wynne said her province will forge ahead with its own pension plan next year, known as the Ontario Retirement Pension Plan (ORPP), in the absence of buy-in on changes to how much CPP pays out in retirement benefits and how much workers will be expected to pay in premiums.
"I will be a very happy woman if we can find a consensus across the country. But I'm not going to let people down if we can't," she said.
"We will continue to put the ORPP in place in the absence of that consensus."
Federal, provincial and territorial finance ministers will meet later this month in Vancouver to talk about CPP reforms with the aim of having a deal in place by the end of the year.
Since December, when the federal and provincial finance ministers last met, political and bureaucratic conversations have been intensifying behind the scenes to garner support for an expanded pension plan. But coming to a consensus has proven difficult.
An agreement would be the first major CPP overhaul in almost 20 years after the provinces and federal government agreed to increase premiums in 1997 as part of work to make sure that one generation of workers wasn't paying for the retirement of another generation.
Most provinces were ready to agree to an expansion of CPP in 2013. But the previous Conservative government balked at the move, which led the Ontario Liberals to head down the path of their own provincial pension plan. Quebec also has its own provincial pension plan.
Any change to the CPP requires the consent of seven provinces with at least two-thirds of the population, meaning Ontario's blessing is needed for any deal. Provinces like B.C. and Saskatchewan are wary of any deal where premiums paid by workers and business owners would have to go up, but their percentage of the national population means their exclusion wouldn't kill an agreement.
"Our position was that retirement security was a national crisis, that it's something that needed to be tackled," Wynne said.
"Let's find a consensus across the country, let's have a CPP enhancement that is going to ensure that Canadians have a secure retirement because what's in place now is not adequate. So that remains our position."
Ontario is looking for a national agreement to target Canadians who don't have a workplace pension plan, provide coverage to those higher up on the income scale, increase the maximum annual benefits to seniors to about $25,000 from the current $12,500, a move that would require an increase in premiums.


A gene on chromosome 10q24.3 that encodes a member of the cytochrome P450 superfamily of enzymes, which catalyse reactions involved in drug metabolism and synthesis of cholesterol, steroids and other lipids. CYP17A1 localises to the endoplasmic reticulum and has 17 alpha-hydroxylase and 17, 20-lyase activities; it is a key enzyme in the steroidogenic pathway that produces progestins, mineralocorticoids, glucocorticoids, androgens and oestrogens.
CYP17A1 mutations are associated with isolated steroid-17 alpha-hydroxylase deficiency, 17-alpha-hydroxylase/17, 20-lyase deficiency, pseudohermaphroditism and adrenal hyperplasia.
39] In the first pathway, it converts into the DHEA by CYP17A1 and subsequently by HSD3B1, DHEA converts into androstenedione.
In general steroidogenic cells, previous in vitro studies have demonstrated that VPA significantly decreased the gene expressions of STAR, CYP11A1 and CYP17A1 (Gustavsen et al.
Steroidogenesis is modulated through the regulation of the genes involved in the hypothalamic-pituitary--steroidogenetic axis, such as: STAR, CYP11A1, CYP17A1, CYP19A1, LH and INHA(30).

The once-daily oral medication AA (marketed as Zytiga, Abiratas, Abretone and Abirapro) is "a potent inhibitor of steroid hormone anabolism," according to the research team, and the drug is already known to interfere with the CYP17A1 enzymes required in the body's production of androgens.
Regarding the group with a defined diagnosis, androgen receptor defects (n = 25), 5[alpha]-reductase type 2 deficiency (n = 20), and hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (n = 12), including six with associated hypopituitarism, were found with higher frequencies, followed by the group of defects in testosterone synthesis that included one patient with HSD3B2 deficiency, one with CYP17A1 deficiency, and two with HSD17B3 deficiency.
The expression of CYP11A1 and CYP17A1 was not influenced by dietary SIF treatments.

The KCOM Stadium (also known as the Hull City Stadium due to UEFA sponsorship regulations) is a multi-purpose facility in the city of Kingston upon Hull, England. The stadium was previously called the KC Stadium, but was renamed as part of a major rebrand by the stadium's sponsors, telecommunications provider KCOM, on 4 April 2016.[2] Conceived in the late 1990s,[3] it was completed in 2002 at a cost of approximately £44 million. The stadium is owned by Hull City Council and operated by the Stadium Management Company (SMC),[4] who are looking to expand the stadium up to 32,000.
The bowl-shaped stadium contains a continuous single tier of seats with a second tier on the west side.[4] Its current capacity is 25,400.[1] The stadium hosts two tenants, association football club Hull City A.F.C., which moved there from Boothferry Park,[5] and rugby league football club Hull FC, relocated from the Boulevard.[6] It is also the largest rugby league stadium in England. The ground also hosts international association football and rugby league football competitions and acts as a venue for concerts by musical artists,[7][8][9] such as Elton John and The Who.[10][11]

The KCOM Stadium
The idea of a new stadium for Kingston upon Hull, whose professional football club Hull City had played at Boothferry Park since 1946, was first mooted in 1997, but funds to finance such a project only became available when the city council sold a portion of its holdings in Kingston Communications.[3] The council provided most of the funds, more than £42 million, with the rest stemming from government single regeneration budget grants and from the Football Stadium Improvement Fund.[3]
The council appointed John Topliss to head the stadium construction project.[3] He and his team partnered with consulting firm Drivers Jonas to explore preliminary issues such as stadium location, seating capacity, and facilities offered. Stated Mr. Topliss: "We had a totally blank canvas and, working with consultants, made a thorough assessment of what was needed."[3]
The project team considered over a dozen sites, inside and outside of the city, before settling on The Circle in West Park.[3] Factors contributing to the decision include transport guidance, central government planning guidelines, existing athletic facilities, isolation from residential areas, and council ownership.[3]
The stadium under construction in 2002
The final recommendation of Drivers Jonas included additional facilities for both indoor and outdoor sports for the people of West Hull in addition to the main stadium, planned to seat from 25,000 to 30,000 spectators.[3] Professional services firm Arup Associates provided initial concept proposals for the stadium.[4] The Miller Partnership, an architectural and interior design firm, adopted these proposals during the stadium's design.[4] The construction work was undertaken by Birse Group.[12]
In spite of obstacles during the course of the project, including Hull City A.F.C.'s receivership in 2001 (just after the granting of planning permission),[3] the stadium complex was completed on time (in fourteen months)[4] and on budget (at approximately GB£44 million).[4] The stadium opened its doors on 18 December 2002. Hull City beat Sunderland A.F.C. 1–0 in a friendly match to mark the occasion.[13] Steve Melton scored the goal, the first at the KC Stadium.[5]
In 2020, the KCOM hosted the Super League Grand Final for the first time.[14]
Structure and facilities[edit]

Ideal Boilers[16] East 6,000[4]
MKM[15][17] South 4,000[4]
Cranswick plc[18][19] Lower West 6,000[4]
Upper West 5,000[4]
The all-seater stadium consists of a single-tier, asymmetrical bowl that can seat approximately 20,000,[4] with a second tier on the Cranswick plc West Stand that can seat approximately 5,000.[4] Current capacity is 25,586.[4] Plans provide for future expansion to a capacity of approximately 30,000 by the addition of a second tier on the Ideal Standard Community East Stand.[4] Each stand has a name for corporate sponsorship purposes.[15] On 4 July 2011, Hull City revealed that the stadium's west stand would be sponsored by the local Cranswick plc under a two-year agreement,[18] which was extended on 26 July 2013.[19] On 10 July 2013 it was announced the east stand would be sponsored by Ideal Standard and become known as the Ideal Standard Community East Stand.[16]
Corporate hospitality is provided by 28 executive boxes located between the two tiers of the Cranswick plc West Stand,[4] while security of the stadium is handled using 57 closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras that cover the stadium.[4] Over the summer of 2007, SMC installed an LED[20] screen in the Smith & Nephew North Stand to replace the old electronic scoreboard.[21] The screen has an area of approximately 40 m2 (430 ft.2) and displays such content as live home game feeds, match highlights, interviews, and action replays.[21]
The stadium decorated with blue and gold accents
The stadium's seats are mostly black, with a band of white and amber seats around the circumference.[4] White and amber seats form the word Hull in the north and south stands. In the Ideal Standard Community East Stand, the seats form an image of a coronet,[13] a symbol of the city that also appears in the club crest for Hull F.C.[6] and in the coat of arms of the city council.[22] Black, white, and amber were chosen to remain neutral toward the colours of its two tenants: black and white for Hull F.C. and black and amber for Hull City A.F.C.[4] The blue and gold of owner Hull City Council appear in the stadium's four external columns.[4]
The size of the playing surface is 114 x 74 metres (125 x 81 yd)[4] and made of rye grass with a 3% additive of artificial grass.[23] This provides ample room for a FIFA-regulation association football pitch of 105 x 68 metres (115 x 74 yd)[4] and a standard rugby league football pitch of 100 x 68 metres (109 x 74 yd).[4] The playing surface has an automated watering system and below-surface heating.[4]
Set within Hull's West Park, the stadium is the first in England to be built in a parkland setting.[23] The stadium complex also includes the 1,500 seat Bonus Arena, a skate park, two multi-use all-weather pitches, a community learning zone complete with classrooms, a health & fitness suite, a cyber cafe, and a library.[4]
The KCOM Stadium has received several honours. It was named the chief new development in Yorkshire at the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors Pro-Yorkshire Awards.[24] It was also on the shortlist for the Prime Minister's Award for Better Public Building[24] and received a high commendation in the British Construction Industry Awards in the Best Value category.[24] In a 2005 poll that was carried out by Drivers Jonas and decided by football fans from across the country, the KC Stadium was rated highest in comfort, services and view among all grounds in the Football League[25] and was also rated the most-improved venue.[25]
On 13 August 2013 a Goal Decision System by Hawk-Eye was installed in the ground ahead of the 2013–14 Premier League season which requires the use of goal-line technology to indicate if a goal is scored.[26]

2004–05 League One 18,027[40]
2003–04 Third Division 16,846[41]
The stadium replaced Boothferry Park as home to Hull City Association Football Club, and was the backdrop for the club's recent climb through the English Football League.[5] It first hosted the club's home games during the second half of the 2002–03 season; the first competitive match was against Hartlepool United, a game that Hull City won by a score of 2–0.[42] Hull City, nicknamed the Tigers, attracted an average attendance of almost 17,000 in their first full season at the KC Stadium, 2003–04.[41] This figure is more than three times the average Third Division attendance for that season, and was only matched or exceeded by clubs in the Premier League and the First Division.[43] However, the level of support was not matched by on-field performances; the Tigers finished 13th in their first season at the KC Stadium.[44] However, in 2003–04 (their first full season at the new ground), Hull won promotion as Third Division runners-up, securing their place in the newly named League One (previously the Second Division).[5] A second successive promotion to the Championship, again as runners-up, followed in 2004–05.[5]
Attendances for Hull City's league games at the KCOM Stadium have averaged above 16,000 in each full season they have played there, apart from the 2017–18 and 2018–19 seasons. The stadium hosted Premier League football in the 2008–09 and 2009–10 seasons, with all 20,500 available season tickets selling out shortly after Hull City's Championship play-off victory at Wembley Stadium.[45] The record attendance for a Premier League match is 25,030 set on 9 May 2010 for the last match of the season against Liverpool[46] beating the previous record of 25,023 set on 13 March 2010 against Arsenal.[47] While playing in the Championship, the record stood at 24,350 on 26 April 2008 for the visit of Crystal Palace,[39] beating that of 24,311 on 30 January 2007 for the visit of local rivals Leeds United.[39] Segregation between home fans and away fans prevents the stadium's stated capacity from being reached.
Plans have been prepared for the potential extension of the stadium following Hull City's promotion to the Premier League. 4,500 seats could be added in a second tier to the east stand, and 2,000 seats each in the north and south stands, giving the stadium a capacity of approximately 34,000.[48] In 2011, the club's owner Assem Allam announced that he wanted to buy the stadium freehold so he could develop, as he stated, "a sports park" on the site.[49]
After Hull City Council refused, Allam stated "I had in mind £30 million to spend on the infrastructure of the club, to increase the stadium by 10,000 and to have commercial activities around the stadium – cafeterias, shops, supermarkets – to have all this to create income for the club so that in the future it can be self-financing and not relying on me."[50]
On 9 August 2013, Allam announced that the club will discard its 109-year-old name and, henceforth, be "marketed" as Hull City Tigers locally and Hull Tigers to national and international audiences.[50] Announcing the change in the Hull Daily Mail newspaper, he said: "'Hull City' is irrelevant...it is common. I want the club to be special. It is about identity. 'City' is a lousy identity. 'Hull City Association Football Club' is so long."[50] The club's Managing Director Nick Thompson urged supporters "to judge it in the fullness of time."[51] The announcement stated that all references to "AFC" on club branding will be phased out, although they will remain on the shirt crest during their first season back in the Premier League.[51]
Allam dismissed fans' protests against the name change, stating "nobody questions my decisions in my business."[52]
Hull F.C.[edit]
Hull F.C. average attendances[needs update]
2015 11,343[citation needed]
2007 14,606[53]
Professional rugby league's Hull Football Club play their home games at the KCOM Stadium, having moved from the Boulevard.[54] During their time at the KCOM Stadium, they have consistently ended each season on a high note: in 2003, the team just missed play-off qualification; in 2004, the club finished third.[54] They finished fourth in 2005, and enjoyed even greater success in the Challenge Cup, in which they beat the Leeds Rhinos in the final.[54] Hull F.C. reached the Super League Grand Final in 2006.[55] Attendances average around 14,000,[53] but are often well above that figure when the club hosts local rivals Hull Kingston Rovers, this local derby producing a record crowd of 23,004 for 2 September 2007 fixture.[56]

The KCOM Stadium is now also a regular venue for international rugby league games, and has hosted Great Britain matches in both the Tri-Nations[8] and the Ashes[9] competitions. The stadium hosted the 2004 Tri-Nations match in which New Zealand lost by a score of 26–24.[8] The stadium also hosted the Tri-Nations game between Great Britain and Australia in 2005; the final score was 26–14 to Australia.[60]
On Saturday 9 November 2013, the stadium hosted the England versus Fiji Rugby League World Cup match, in which England won 34–12 in front of an attendance of 25,114. Before the match, there was a minute's silence, followed by spontaneous applause, to mark the early death of former England International Steve Prescott.[61][62]
In 2009, the KC Stadium was shortlisted as a possible venue for games at the 2018 FIFA World Cup should England win the right to host it, but when the list of venues was announced on 16 December that year, the KC Stadium was not included.[63]
It has also played host to two exhibition Twenty20 cricket matches between Yorkshire County Cricket Club and Lashings World XI.[64]
Concerts[edit]
As well as serving as a sporting venue, the KCOM Stadium also hosts musical events, including such artists as Sir Elton John,[10] Bryan Adams,[65] Neil Diamond,[66] R.E.M.,[67] Bon Jovi,[68] and The Who.[11]
JLS have also performed here in front of 20,000 fans as part of their 2010 JLS Tour.

Johnson Study Abroad Scholarship
The University of Hawai'i at Mānoa Shidler College of Business has received $1 million from William R. Johnson, Jr., president and CEO of Johnson Machinery Co., to establish the William R. Johnson, Jr. Study Abroad Endowment. The endowment will provide international study abroad scholarships for undergraduate students attending the Shidler College of Business.
"We are extremely grateful to Bill Johnson for his continued investment in our students and our future," said V. Vance Roley, dean of the Shidler College of Business. "As a well known community advocate and philanthropist in California and Hawai'i, Bill has once again made a leadership gift to his alma mater. In 2006, he made his first leadership gift of $1 million to fund two endowed professorships at the College and since then has hosted several Shidler alumni events in the Newport Harbor for southern California Shidler alumni. He is a great example of alumni making a difference in our students' lives. "
Johnson said, "I'm pleased to help the students at Shidler explore the world and graduate as global citizens. All of my children benefited greatly from their international study abroad programs, so I know first hand the life changing experiences these opportunities can be."
The California-based company Johnson Machinery Co., supplies heavy construction, industrial and mining equipments throughout southern California, Arizona, and Mexico through its five divisions: Johnson Machinery, Johnson Life/Hyster, Johnson Power Systems; Johnson Rental Services and Ever- Pac. The company has thirteen locations throughout Southern California and more than 400 employees. Johnson earned his BBA from the Shidler College of Business in 1965 and was inducted into the Hall of Honor in 2007. He currently sits on the board of advisors of UC-Riverside's Bourns College of Engineering.
"It is wonderful to see alumni giving back in such a meaningful way," said Donna Vuchinich, president and CEO, University of Hawaii Foundation. She continued, "Travel abroad scholarships help our students be globally competitive and greatly enrich their experience of UH. This new gift builds on Bill's already generous legacy at UH and we are truly grateful."
