There's some real dangers of falling ice from buildings, as well as slippery pavement conditions at this time of year.
With some changeable weather patters recently, warming and cooling again, officials are warning the public about the dangers of ice falling from roofs.
The capital city region in particular has had variable temperatures and sustained snowfall, warming to sleety rain at times and freezing again. So experts advise to keep a watchful eye on rooftops.
"Falling snow can weigh up to 100 kilos and when such a heap falls in the head area, it causes serious damage, and in some cases in the past it has even led to death" says Taisto Hakala, Chief of Communications at Helsinki Rescue Department.
According to Finnish Meteorological Institute FMI, the capital region has received up to half a metre of snow cover which is relatively high compared to the average of 20cm at this time of year, making snow falling from roofs potentially more deadly.
Fireman Taisto Hakala says from a safety and maintenance perspective, the best way to deal with snowy roofs is to shovel the snow to the ground as soon as it arrives and while it's still powdery.
However, that work requires professionals with the right safety equipment, and they're in high demand at this time of year.
"Property owners are still responsible for public safety and are obligated to take care safety arrangements during the period. If the risk of falling snow is obvious, the pedestrians should be blocked from walking in that area, for instance" Hakala tells News Now Finland.
Rescue officials point out there also needs to be personal responsibility for pedestrians as they walk around due to the dangers of snow and ice.
"It is understandable that people get angry because they cannot go through their normal routes due due large amount of snow, but everyone should nevertheless be genuinely focused on traffic and roofs because there are now many winter-related risks at the same time, such as road slippage and poor visibility" says Hakala.
"For example, smaller children may not be able to see everything behind high snow piles, taking care of them is the responsibility of everyone".

Мадлен Дэ-Рош (, урождённая Мадлен Нёвё (Madeleine Neveu), 1520, Пуатье — ноябрь 1587) — французская писательница и поэтесса периода Ренессанса, мать поэтессы Катрин Фрадоннэ или Катрин Дэ-Рош, которой она преподавала поэзию, литературу и древние языки.

Мадлен Дэ-Рош получила блестящее для своего времени образование, рано овдовела и скромно жила в родном городе. Её дочь Катрин, род. в 1550 г., превзошла красотой свою мать, но отличалась надменностью. Их салон в 1570—1587 гг. был литературным центром в Пуатье, куда охотно собирались поэты и писатели; среди этого общества младшая Дэ-Рош являлась предшественницей Марии Лежар-де-Гурнэ и Жюли Рамбулье-д'Анженнь. Обе Дэ-Рош скончались в один день от чумы в 1587 г.

Их поэтические произведения: «Les pulces poétiques, prenières oeuvres de m-mes D. de Poitiers, mère et fille» (1579), были приняты благосклонно, вскоре они выпустили второй том, «Secondes oeuvres de m-mes D. de Poitiers, mère et fille» (1584).

Произведения
 Oeuvres, Paris: Abel L'Angelier, 1578-9.
 Secondes Oeuvres, Poitiers: Nicolas Courtoys, 1583.
 Les missives de Mesdames des Roches… (в стихах и прозе), Paris: Abel L'Angelier, 1586.

I'm a big Rammstein fan myself but I checked their website. They've got a similar sound so I'll probably pick one up. Which album would you recommend to start off with?

Sean,

I've really enjoyed "Wer bist du", "Kopschuss" or "Himmelfart". Pick any one of those and you won't be disappointed!

This is one of my favourite Megaherz songs (great band, if you like this kind of music!), and lately, I've been feeling sort of like the chorus of the song:

Du weißt nicht was du willst

Du weißt nicht wo du stehst

weißt nicht woher du kommst

wohin du gehst

Du weißt nicht was dich treibt

was am Ende für dich bleibt

Warum bist du so blass

so kalt so herzlos

Du weißt nicht was du tust

weißt nicht woran du glaubst

Sag mir wozu und ob

du mich noch brauchst

Wenn's einfach nicht mehr passt

Wenn du mich wirklich nur noch hasst

Warum bist du noch hier Wofür

Was willst du noch von mir

Reading a graphic novel is not new to me, but this time around I found myself getting more out of the reading then I had in the past. My idea of a graphic novel has been changed through the reading of A Contract With God. In A Contract With God I found myself going back again and again to specific pages to double check my understanding and to try and better understand why the artist had choice to illustrate in the manner that they had.
One thing found particularly interesting about Eisner's style was how he so rarely fills the entire page. There are only five pages filled to the edge. All of the other pages feature a thick margin that borders the comic. I find that this border at time gives me the sense of a photograph; such as a Polaroid. The mental idea seemed to add to the realism of the stories themselves.

"Though he hadn't talked to God in years, not a single petition or word of praise since he'd come across the crucified Marine. Willard could feel it welling up inside him now, the urge to get right with his maker, before something bad happened to his family."
Donald Ray Pollock, The Devil All the Time
Release Date: September 16th, 2020 | Director: Antonio Campos
The Devil All the Time follows two generations of the Russell family. Willard Russell returns from war to marry the love of his life and start a family. After a few years, tragedy strikes, leaving Willard's son, Arvin, an orphan. Moving back to live with his grandmother and another orphaned girl, Arvin becomes extremely protective of his new family. A new pastor arrives in his hometown and begins to partake in some sinister activities. As tragedy strikes his family, the same darkness that consumes his father threatens to consume Alvin. Meanwhile, a couple travels the country taking photographs of dead bodies. The woman's brother, the Sheriff of a small town, is wrapped up in some illegal activities and her activities threaten his campaign for reelection. These three seemingly different stories all meet in a climax that will force you to lock the doors a little tighter and will dissuade you from hitchhiking.
This movie requires a strong stomach. The horror in this movie doesn't come from cheap jump scares or evil spirits, but rather takes a concept that is meant to spread good in the world and twists it to justify evil acts. It's a cool concept, I will acknowledge. But, I did think that this book really didn't translate well to the screen. As a rule of thumb, any movie where narration is not absolutely necessary (such as The Princess Diaries), shouldn't have it. I will grant that this movie's narration was consistent but it was so jarring. The movie would take a deep dive into a sinister concept and then, because a scene required some creative filmwork/depictions, it would rely too heavily on narration. I would've liked to see Arvin follow the preacher, not hear it. I was informed that this was originally opted to be a mini-series and at first I was hesitant about the concept, but if the narration was turned into actual screen time with the actors, then maybe a mini-series would've been a better option. In short, show don't tell.
The good parts of the movie included the acting and costumes. Tom Holland's accent was flawless and I was extremely impressed by his range. In Arvin Russell, I saw none of Peter Parker. Holland really seemed to embrace his dark side. Eliza Scanlan portrayed the pious girl touched by darkness extremely well and even though her screen time was short, she made a lasting impact. Sebastian Stan shedded Bucky Barnes and Carter Baizen to embrace a dark side that was barely brushed upon in Winter Soldier. Stan playing darker characters is something that I would like to see (especially since Bucky Barnes didn't really end up being a villain). Stan's costume included a pretty convincing fat suit that disguised him well and pushed him further away from the MCU. Then, there was Robert Pattinson. I read in an interview that Pattinson refused to use a dialect coach and I have nothing more to say than: it shows. His acting by itself was phenomenal, proving that he is also capable of taking relatively diverse roles. His screen chemistry with Tom Holland was rather impressive, but I really couldn't get over the dialect. His voice was three octaves too high and it made him seem a little more comical than sinister.
Overall, I think the book is probably a smarter use of your time than the movie. While the cast leaves nothing to be desired, the script and narration take away from a story that could've been much more compelling. This movie, for all its gruesome tactics, forgets that the main purpose of a film is to tell a story and this story is lost amongst confusing and vague scenes. I recommend this movie for anyone who likes psychological thrillers and some big name actors.

It's giving these seniors a reason to live!
A Midwood apartment building for low-income seniors is in the middle of an extreme makeover that will take the 13-story tower from drab to fab — and now elderly residents say they hope their golden years never end.
Long Island developer MDG Design and Construction, which specializes in renovating occupied buildings, is in charge of revitalizing the 40-year-old tower and is expected to complete construction by the end of the year. The firm settled with workers in a 2013 suit alleging its subcontractor violated federal wage laws, and doled out nearly $5 million in back pay to 500 laborers, according to information from the U.S. Department of Labor. The company has vastly improved oversight since, a principal said.
"After our experience a few years ago with several subcontractors who cheated hardworking carpenters out of their wages, we developed a state-of-the-art wage compliance monitoring program — one of the strictest in the city — which continues to be a hallmark of our business," said MDG founder Michael Rooney.
Updated 11:48 am, January 16, 2019: Added comments from MDG principal Michael Rooney.

Henry Dojaquez
Henry Dojaquez, 1939
Henry Dojaquez is the son of Mike Dojaquez and Felicita Escalante Dojaquez. Felicita came to Helvetia, Arizona from Sonora Mexico in 1905. Mike came to work at the Empire Ranch in 1907 under the direction of Empire Ranch foreman Tom Turner. Mike had worked for Tom Turner when he was the foreman of the Greene Cattle Company, and followed him to the Empire Ranch. Henry's uncles were ore haulers for the mines in the Patagonia/Sonoita area.
Henry worked at the Empire one spring in 1936. He worked the Roundup and helped build a dam on the Cienega Creek, working with Charlie Grantham, Mary Boice's brother. Frank S. Boice designed the dam and worked with them. The dam was washed out in a flood in 1938. Henry recalls some of the men who worked on the Empire Ranch such as Fred Barnett, Jack Cooper, Dick Jimenez, Apache Joe, Blas Lopez, Ed Souter, Tom Turner. He also recalled stories of the Empire Ranch buildings being saved from fire by Fort Huachuca soldiers who were camped at the ranch. He describes the farming operations, raising corn and alfalfa, at the Empire Ranch, and the supplies that were kept in the commissary during the Vail era. Families that worked for the ranch received monthly allotments of sugar, flour, coffee, and fresh meat.
Henry was most familiar with Banning Vail, whom he calls "Bandy", and Edward "Ned" Vail. He also recalls Frank S. Boice, who was a great engineer and Pancho, Bob, and Fred Boice. He relates stories of many of the families that lived in the Sonoita area and of his experiences with the Civilian Conservation Corps. He recalls many of the roads, water sources, mines, moonshine operations, and other activities in the area.

Evolution of grain boundary structure in submicrometer-grained Al-Mg alloy
Zenji Horita, David J. Smith, Minoru Furukawa, Minoru Nemoto, Ruslan Z. Valiev, Terence G. Langdon
This paper presents high-resolution electron microscopy studies of grain boundary structures in a submicrometer-grained Al-3%Mg solid solution alloy produced by an intense plastic straining technique. The studies include the effect of static annealing on the grain boundary structure. Many grain boundaries are in a high-energy nonequilibrium state in the as-strained sample. The nonequilibrium character is retained on some grain boundaries in samples annealed at temperatures below the onset of significant grain growth. The effect of electron irradiation on the grain boundary structure also is examined.

Q: Magento 2 huge TTFB on checkout update scripts I am working on a new Magento 2 website. Everything is fine on our test server, but now that we want to move it to the main server, the checkout update scripts are too slow. It takes around 10 seconds to update the cart on every change (such as payment method, shipping method, etc).
I have checked the Network tab in Chrome developer tools, the problem seems to be from huge TTFB of every request:
set-payment-information : 6.7s
updatePaymentMethodPost : 10+s
totals-information : 9s
Even "add to cart" process takes a long time too (5-6s).
The page load time is fine and it is under 3 seconds. Cache and Redis are enabled and It is in production mode.
This might be caused by a server misconfiguration, but I can not find it out. Any help is higly apprecieated.

A: Do the following :
log Mysql queries with PHP stack : bin/magento --include-all-queries=true --include-call-stack=true dev:query-log:enable
then : var/debug/db.log  you will find log.
Look at the sql queries that were executed but of no use( should be related to inventory, indexer etc ).
disable modules or change there XML so that they are not a part of checkout page.
configure inventory related options to reduce inventory related sql queries.
clear Mysql tables for abandon cart related queries.
Check if indexers queries are there and if possible move then from save to schedule.
update community modules if they are taking resources.
In parallel make sure that cron are not taking extra resources which will be the case if crons are not configured as per site requirement.
Server aspect :
SSD with  NVMe technology.
sufficient IOPs

Dance bridges barriers that often impede communication, allowing interactions to take place that might otherwise be awkward or intimidating. When we move, we use non-verbal cues to exchange ideas and emotions, and to convey feelings we are not always comfortable sharing in words. In this way, dance serves as a means of expressing complicated themes and issues that may be universally applicable. This accessibility makes gesture a primary means of communication for many English Language Learners, including facial expressions, posture and stance, and sound effect.
When working with ELL students in a dance class, it is important to honour the movement they bring to the space, by including them in the group in whatever capacity that you perceive them to be comfortable. Be sure to use a variety of music and soundscape that is representative of a cross-section of cultures and instrumentation. Mirror and Flocking exercises encourage observation and imitation, activities that build rapport, compassion, curiosity, playfulness and acceptance.
The most powerful tool I have witnessed in use is the Laban Movement qualities. These words qualify types of movement and build a working vocabulary for dancers so they may describe and notate interpretive and abstract movement. When given a word that matches a movement, ELL students can offer the word in their native language that corresponds to the common gesture. The eight efforts (flick, dab, slash, glide, punch, float, wring, press) are the foundation for movement analysis that activate the verbal, physical and visual language that describe the movement we use and observe in class. Each element of weight (strong/light), space (direct/indirect), time (sudden/sustained), and flow (bound/free) informs the dancer how their body can move.
Finding ways to express ourselves in order to feel understood, to build connections, and to find common ground amongst ourselves, is what feeds our humanity and purpose. Movement brings us back to our bodies, grounds us in our relationship with the earth, with other people, and with ourselves. Dance is intended to be joyful, to be witnessed, and to be shared. May we all find a way to dance so we may create more joy to witness and share with each other.

Natural gas has languished for some time as a massive expansion in supply and high inventories have placed pressure on prices. However, there are signs that demand is about to explode.
You see, natural gas is the fossil fuel of the future, and it is fast becoming the preferred fuel of choice for electricity generation. One company positioned to benefit from the looming natural gas boom is upstream natural gas producer Peyto Exploration and Development Corp. (TSX:PEY).
Its operations are focused on Alberta's Deep Basin, where it has 450,000 acres and natural gas and petroleum liquids reserves totaling the equivalent of 655 million barrels of oil. The quality of this acreage is demonstrated by the considerable success that Peyto has enjoyed with its exploration and drilling program, which saw its reserves by the end of 2016 grow by 11% compared to a year earlier. This acreage endows Peyto with tremendous exploration upside, giving it significant drilling inventory composed of over 2,100 locations.
This acreage and its considerable reserves will support the company's ambitious plans to boost production.
For 2016, production grew 13% year over year and was more than 90% weighted to natural gas, while 2017 output is forecast to grow by an impressive 23%. Such solid growth will allow Peyto to take full advantage of higher natural gas prices.
Aside from substantially expanding its production, Peyto has also been able to significantly reduce costs. By the end of 2016, operating expenses had fallen by 14% compared to a year earlier, and further efficiencies are expected to be implemented during 2017. This will give its margins a healthy boost in an operating environment where natural gas prices are rising.
Natural gas prices firmed and are now almost 61% higher than they were a year ago.
More importantly, there are signs that this will continue because it is one of the cleanest-burning fossil fuels, producing roughly half the carbon emissions of coal. When this crucial factor is considered along with low prices, ample supply, and its ability to fuel the generation of baseline power, it is easy to see why it has become the preferred fuel of choice for producing electricity.
Demand for gas-fired electricity can only grow exponentially as government regulations and carbon taxes force the early retirement of coal-fired plants or make them prohibitively expensive to operate. This has triggered a massive shift across the electricity-generating industry, where the number of gas-fired power plants under construction or coal-fired plants being converted to gas have grown significantly.
It has also become the fuel of choice in energy-hungry China, where gas's contribution to China's energy mix has doubled over the last decade. That rapid growth can only continue because Beijing is focused on improving the notoriously poor air quality of China's major cities; it's targeting 10% of China's energy to come from natural gas by 2020.
It is speculated that this will trigger a massive supply imbalance as the rapid growth in demand outstrips supply, thereby causing prices to rise. The effects of this can already be seen in Australia, where its federal government recently moved to restrict gas exports in an attempt to circumvent a domestic supply shortage and rapidly rising prices caused by growing demand from China.
Peyto is among the best equipped natural gas producers to benefit from the looming natural gas boom that will be triggered by a marked uptick in demand for gas-fired power generation and China's massive thirst for cleaner sources of energy. While patient investors wait for this to push its stock higher, they will be rewarded by that sustainable dividend yielding a very juicy 5%.

Q: Having drop down colored backgrounds persist once selected

<select>
    <option value="apple" style="background: red">Apple</option>
    <option value="banana" style="background: yellow">Banana</option>
    <option value="pear" style="background: green">Pear</option>
</select>

So I have an HTML drop down with options that have background colors. However, once I select one of these options from the list, the background color goes away...
Is there a way to make it so once an option is selected, the background color persists?

A: i have create a  JSFiddle
Following is the code:

.Red {
  background-color: #ff0000;
}

.Green {
  background-color: #00ff00;
}

.Blue {
  background-color: #0000ff;
}
<select name="select" class="Red" onchange="this.className = this.options[this.selectedIndex].className">
     <option class="Red" value="1">Red</option>
     <option class="Green" value="2">Green</option>
     <option class="Blue" value="3">Blue</option>
</select>

A: <select style="background:pink">
    <option value="apple" style="background: red">Apple</option>
    <option value="banana" style="background: yellow">Banana</option>
    <option value="pear" style="background: green">Pear</option>
</select>

The selected item is a whole other object in the DOM, other style is applied to it.
You can use JavaScript or JQuery to get the color of the selected option and than apply it on the selected item.


In Friday's trap there were quite a few unfamiliar moths, but it turned out none were new to the garden.
A visitor of note, however, was Acrobasis adventella: a very interesting moth, if only for its name. The genus Acrobasis comes from the word "akron" meaning a point, or a step which is stepped on, a base. The moth is so described because of the horny tooth at the apex of the scape (the basal segment) of the antenna. This moth is sometimes, but less frequently referred to as Trachycera adventella. Trachycera is an all but extinct genus that similarly refers to the rough, raised tufts on the forewings of some moths. Adventella, on the other hand, means 'stranger' and is so named because of its rarity in the region where it was discovered. It is fairly common in England, however.
I went away this weekend, and didn't think much about the moths, but when I returned on Monday it turned out Patrick had set a trap the night before and as I sifted through the egg cartons, I saw an unfamiliar and richly-colored moth that was not just new to me, but new to all at Shandy Hall! The Common Purple and Gold, or (Pyrausta purpuralis), is a deep purple moth that flies during both the day and at night, and can be found across Britain. It prefers dry grassland and chalky downland habitats, as its larvae feed on corn mint (Mentha arvensis) and thyme (Thymus).
This moth belongs to the genus that gets singed in the candle flame; Pyrausta literally means 'to kindle a fire'. Pliny applied this name to an unknown insect that was supposed to live in fire, however ironically most of the moths in this species are day-fliers and are rarely attracted to light. Purpuralis simply means purple, from the color on its forewings. However, in Humphreys and Westwood, the moth is referred to as a Crimson and Gold, and the illustration paints the moth much darker than it appears in reality.
And with that new visitor the garden count is up to 433 moths!


Printed replacement human body parts might seem like science fiction, but this technology is rapidly becoming a reality with the potential to greatly contribute to regenerative medicine. Before any real applications, "bioprinting" still faces many technical challenges. Processing the bio-ink and making it stick to itself and hold the desired printed gel structure have been proving particularly difficult especially in inkjet printing. Few methods currently exist for gluing bio-ink droplets together and these do not work for every kind of cell, motivating new alternative approaches.
Building on their previous work, researchers at Osaka University have now refined an enzyme-driven approach to sticking biological ink droplets together, enabling complex biological structures to be printed. They recently published their findings in Macromolecular Rapid Communications.
Currently, sodium alginate is the main gelling agent used for inkjet bioprinting, but has some compatibility problems with certain cell types. The researchers' new approach is based on hydrogelation mediated by an enzyme, horseradish peroxidase, which can create cross-links between phenyl groups of an added polymer in the presence of the oxidant hydrogen peroxide.
Although hydrogen peroxide itself can also damage cells, the researchers carefully tuned the delivery of cells and hydrogen peroxide in separate droplets to limit their contact and keep the cells alive. More than 90% of the cells were viable in biological test gels prepared in this way. A number of complex test structures could also be grown from different types of cells.

Construction starts on Alberta biofuels facility
Sept. 1, 2010, Edmonton – Enerkem, the City of Edmonton, and the Government of Alberta held a groundbreaking ceremony on August 31, 2010, to signify the start of construction of a municipal waste-to-biofuels facility in Edmonton, Alberta.
September 1, 2010 By Enerkem
Alberta Premier Ed Stelmach,
Edmonton Mayor Stephen Mandel, and Enerkem President and CEO Vincent Chornet
participate in the ground-breaking ceremony.
Sept. 1, 2010, Edmonton – Enerkem Inc. held a
groundbreaking ceremony on August 31, 2010, to signify the start of
construction of a municipal waste-to-biofuels facility with its partners, the
City of Edmonton and the Government of Alberta. Alberta Premier Ed Stelmach,
participated in the event.
Enerkem's advanced biofuels plant in Edmonton,
Alberta, will be the world's first industrial-scale biofuels project to use
municipal solid waste as feedstock. It will have an annual production capacity
of 36 million litres (10 million gallons). Using Enerkem's proprietary clean
technology, the CAD $80-million facility will produce enough biofuel to fuel
more than 400,000 cars/year running on a 5% ethanol blend. It will be built,
owned, and operated by Enerkem Alberta Biofuels LP (www.edmontonbiofuels.ca), a
wholly owned subsidiary of Enerkem. The City of Edmonton and Enerkem Alberta
Biofuels have signed a 25-year agreement to convert 100,000 tonnes/year of the
city's municipal solid waste into biofuels. The garbage to be used cannot be
recycled or composted.
"This groundbreaking marks the launch of a
transformative project and leads the first wave of commercial-scale advanced
biofuels plants in North America," says Chornet.
"As a result of this facility, we [Edmonton] will
become the first major city in North America to see 90% of its residential
waste diverted from landfill by 2013," says Mandel.
By replacing a portion of the petroleum fuels
currently used and by avoiding the methane emissions created during waste
decomposition in landfills, Enerkem's advanced biofuels facility will reduce
Alberta's carbon dioxide footprint by six million tonnes over the next 25
years. The plant is scheduled to start operating towards the end of 2011.

ayumi hamasaki ~POWER of MUSIC~ 2011 (5/28)
by Aprilis on June 1, 2011 · 6 comments ·
Ayumi Hamasaki's 2011 concert tour, originally named ayumi hamasaki ARENA TOUR 2011 A ~HOTEL Love songs~, was changed to ayumi hamasaki ~POWER of MUSIC~ 2011 after the natural disaster that strike Eastern Japan in March. This isn't the first time that Ayu had made sudden changes because of an unexpected event. Back in 2001, Ayu had the design for the album I am… all planned out. But after the 911 event, she opted for a more simple version that we see today. The new concert theme and tour goods are a big indication that Ayu really wants to reach to everyone through her music. Whether they are people that were affected by the disaster in March, the people who had reached to help, and international fans from all over the world.

Sexy Little Things: In other words, you are in my hands
by Rinoa on April 11, 2010 · 7 comments ·
Hamasaki in Alexander McQueen
Sexy Little Things was another music video which filmed in London, along with Microphone. According to her ViVi Deji Diary, more than 50 musicians and models were featured in this video.
Filmed in a completely different style and mood, it provides a continuation to Microphone, with a different twist. The imagery is highly minimalistic and makes heavy use of black, white and red. Hamasaki describes it as "fully loaded with tricks" and mentions how she experiments with unique different styles.
Microphone: Meeting you was a necessity
by Rinoa on April 6, 2010 · 5 comments ·
Black Hamasaki making an appearance in Microphone as well as in Sexy Little Things
Microphone is the first song from Rock 'n' Roll Circus which was leaked online and was chosen as the leading song for this album. Furthermore it was also the first promotional video which was aired on television. It is neatly blended in with Sexy Little Things, where the final scene is re-winded and re-utilised as the introduction for Microphone.
The setting is largely modified from minimalistic to gothic. Nonetheless the heavy usage of black and white is ever-present. It was filmed in the Old Royal Naval College in Greenwich, London. The video highlights themes of repression, concealment, control and the notion of being true to yourself.
Oricon Style: Contributions to Television
by Rinoa on February 3, 2010 · 2 comments ·
Kimura Takuya topped the actors list
The 30th January 2010 marked the 57th anniversary of television broadcast in Japan. Once more Oricon Style stepped in to create a poll in celebration of this occasion. People could submit their votes on those celebrities who they feel made the most contribution to television.
Kimura Takuya from SMAP, nicknamed as Kimutaku was the winner in the actor category. In fact, ever since 1993's Asunaro Hakusho, Kimutaku has had a string of hit dramas, including memorable roles in Long Vacation and Beautiful Life. He is very deserving of the award.
In the singer's category, 'Showa's Songstress' Misora Hibari was voted first. In the comedian category, Downtown, the comedic duo comprised of Matsumoto Hitoshi and Hamada Masatoshi placed first. Many voters even complimented them for being revolutionaries in the comedy world. The most contribution by a television host went to Tamori, the host of two long-running television shows, Music Station and Waratte Iitomo.

Hamasaki at Dandy Daddy Media Conference
On Thursday nights at 9pm, starting from July 9th, TV Asahi will air the drama series "Dandy Daddy". The story will center around the romance novelist Ryunosuke Isaki and the theme song will be sung Ayumi Hamasaki from her new single, "Sunrise/Sunset ~ LOVE is ALL ~".
The song was composed by a new composer in Ayu's team, Hana Nishimura and arranged by CMJK. As always, Ayu would pen the lyrics.
This marks her first theme song tie-up with a drama since the 2003 release of "forgiveness", approximately six years ago.
Ayumi created this song as a typical drama summer theme song. Ryuosuke Isaki is the hero of this love drama and he says that he wants to sing this theme song of love. Ayumi managed to achieve this surprise. The music has delighted the staff and actors. This summer song has managed to be a perfect fit for the drama.

High fuel prices and concerns about climate change are boosting the popularity of gasoline/electric hybrid cars in the United States and abroad. However, environmentally minded motorists have another choice--diesels--which account for 45 percent of new passenger-car sales in European markets. Besides fuel economy concerns, the reasons include lower taxes on diesel fuel and greater tolerance of higher air emissions. Enthusiasm for diesels is relatively muted in the United States, with sales of approximately 30,000 diesels per year, mostly Volkswagens. Compare this to the sales of hybrid cars: more than 180,000 have been sold in the United States to date, 85,000 of them in the last year.
Americans generally think diesels are noisy, dirty, and underperforming. In a 2002 diesel vehicle survey by J.D. Power and Associates, 32 percent of Americans were concerned about engine noise, 27 percent about exhaust odor, and 31 percent about lower performance. However, these concerns are largely misplaced; most Americans remember the dirty diesels of decades past and are not aware of the advances incorporated into modern diesel vehicles. For example, in the last 15 years, diesel engines have reduced noise by 60 percent, emissions by 90 percent, and fuel consumption by 30 percent, while increasing torque by 100 percent. Modern diesels can be as desirable to consumers as gasoline automobiles, but how does their environmental performance measure up?
To answer this question, we must examine the entire lifecycle of the vehicle, including extracting raw materials, manufacturing and assembling automobile components, producing and combusting fuel, and maintaining and disposing of vehicles. Several differences between diesels and hybrids are undeniable: diesel engines are inherently more efficient than gasoline engines, diesel fuel contains approximately 10 percent more energy per volume than gasoline, and diesels produce significantly more air pollution. A closer look at the models offered today highlights these differences.
Three hybrid and three diesel passenger cars are currently offered in the United States (excluding the two-passenger Honda Insight and the luxury Mercedes-Benz E320 CDI). Table 1 provides basic size, weight, price, and performance data for these cars. The Honda Accord is the most expensive and the best performing; the other cars closely match each other in cost and performance. Overall, the diesel vehicles have a smaller cost differential than the hybrids.*
Materials Use and Waste Production
Nearly all vehicle energy consumption (more than 85 percent) and pollutant emissions occur during vehicle usage, which includes the vehicle emissions themselves as well as the impacts associated with the fuel cycle: the extraction, refining, transport, and use of diesel and gasoline. The large environmental impact during vehicle use means that materials use for manufacturing is not a primary concern, though it is worth some consideration. The vehicle lifecycle includes the production of about 6,700 kilograms (14,740 pounds) of hazardous waste per vehicle; half of that is produced during materials extraction and vehicle manufacture and half during fuel refining. Hybrid-car batteries are an additional source of hazardous waste, but the impacts are difficult to quantify. The potential longer lifetime of diesel vehicles also reduces materials use, though this may be offset by the extended usage of older vehicles with worse-than-average air emissions. Overall, there is no clear preference for either vehicle based on materials use.
Energy Use and Greenhouse Gases
The U.S. transportation sector produces 26 percent of the nation's greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and consumes 27 percent of the energy, making fuel economy particularly important in this analysis. Table 2 shows the fuel economy and full fuel cycle greenhouse gas emissions of each automobile; the Prius has the highest MPG (miles per gallon), followed by the Civic and manual Golf and Jetta. These data are estimates made by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and many vehicle owners point out that the numbers overestimate the actual mileage. Nevertheless, the numbers are a good starting point for comparison, and it is clear that the gasoline hybrids have a significant advantage.
[ILLUSTRATION OMITTED]
The U.S. transportation sector produces significant amounts of air pollution, including 40 percent of volatile organic compounds, 77 percent of carbon monoxide, and 49 percent of nitrogen oxide emissions. Vehicle use produces five key regulated air pollutants: nitrogen oxides (N[O.sub.x]), carbon monoxide (CO), sulfur dioxide (S[O.sub.2]), volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and particulate matter (PM). N[O.sub.x] and hydrocarbons combine to form ground-level ozone, which damages the lungs and increases the vulnerability of plant life to disease. Carbon monoxide causes cardiovascular damage, and sulfur dioxide leads to acid rain. Particulate matter can contribute to lung cancer and respiratory problems at any ambient concentration; the World Health Organization estimates that it leads to 100,000 deaths per year in Europe. Approximately 10 percent by weight of the VOCs emitted are known or suspected to cause cancer; these include benzene, 1,3-butadiene, acetaldehyde, and formaldehyde.
Table 3 summarizes the air pollution associated with vehicle use, including actual vehicle emissions and emissions from fuel production. The Accord produces twice the carbon monoxide and VOCs as the other cars, while the diesel automobiles have approximately six times more N[O.sub.x] and eight times more particulate matter than the Prius and Civic. Notably, the diesel vehicles do not currently meet some state air standards and cannot be sold in California or several northeastern states. The hybrids lead the diesel vehicles by far in terms of air emissions. One caveat, however: these data are from EPA tests and may not correspond exactly with real-world emissions, as driving conditions vary.
Advanced Fuels
Because the vehicle-use portion of the life-cycle has the biggest environmental impact, the choice of fuel is very important. Low-sulfur fuel, which is being phased in through 2006 in the United States, will enable significant reductions in air pollution from vehicles. Because sulfur damages emissions control equipment, the low-sulfur fuel will enable development of a variety of new emissions control technologies. These will allow diesel vehicles to meet EPA's new emissions standards. In 2009, the maximum vehicle emissions will be 0.02 grams per mile (g/mi) of particulate matter and 0.2 g/mi of N[O.sub.x], about 30-45 percent of current Volkswagen diesel emission levels. However, even with stricter EPA standards, diesel engines will still exceed the air emissions of most gasoline engines.
Another fuel option is biodiesel, which can be produced from plant oils and used in diesel engines with no modifications. Most biodiesel in the United States is produced from soy-beans; its life-cycle includes soybean production, transport, and crushing, conversion of soybean oil to biodiesel, distribution of biodiesel, and finally the use of the fuel. Biodiesel is the clear choice for climate protection; it uses 0.3 megajoules (MJ) of fossil energy for each MJ of fuel energy, while petroleum diesel requires 1.2 MJ of fossil energy for each MJ of fuel energy. Biodiesel produces only one-quarter of the greenhouse gas emissions of regular diesel. The most common blend, with 20 percent biodiesel and 80 percent diesel, reduces particulate matter emissions by 10 percent, volatile organic compounds-by 21 percent, and carbon monoxide by 11 percent. It also leads to a 2 percent increase in N[O.sub.x] emissions and a 1-2 percent decrease in fuel economy. Unfortunately, it seems unlikely that biodiesel can fully replace fossil fuels. Converting all U.S. cropland to soybean production for biodiesel would meet only 62 percent of current U.S. on-road diesel fuel use, which tops 37 billion gallons per year. Cost may be an even more significant barrier, as pure biodiesel costs 20-30 cents more per gallon than diesel fuel.
In general, due to the higher air emissions and lower fuel economy of diesel cars, a hybrid is a more environmentally sound choice, given current options. A diesel purchase today could be justified if the vehicle were to be run on 50 percent or more biodiesel, as this would produces GHG emissions equivalent to a gasoline hybrid. However, when new air pollution rules come into effect in 2007, there is no clear winner on environmental merits; hybrids will maintain a lead in air pollution, but not enough to justify avoiding diesels running on high blends of climate-friendly biodiesel. It will come down to an individual decision on whether air pollution or climate impacts of vehicles are more important. However, the higher cost of biodiesel might tip the scale toward hybrids for those on a budget. Of course, within the next five years we could also see the introduction of hybrid diesel/electric vehicles, and when that happens the dominance of gasoline vehicles in the United States could be threatened.

Q: String Permutation function not working right First of all sorry for bothering with a question asked several times before.But I have to say that I did read through the related questions about string permutations and I could not figure out the actual problem with the code I have below. I want to return the combinations of a string.Please help me out in finding the mistake ! PS: I have just started learning javascript!

var result = [];

function doPerm(prefix, suffix, result) {
    if (suffix.length === 0)
        result.push(prefix);
    else {
        for (i = 0; i < suffix.length; i++) {
            doPerm(prefix + suffix.charAt(i), suffix.slice(0, i) + suffix.slice(i + 1), result);
        }
    }
}

function permAlone(str) {
    var prefix = "";
    var suffix = str;
    doPerm(prefix, suffix, result);
    return result;
}

   console.log(permAlone('aab'));

INPUT:'aab'
OUTPUT:[aab,aab,aba,aba,baa,baa]

A: Your logic was correct actually, you just declared i without var in for loop which made it global and was giving you errors. It seems to be working once that is corrected:

var result = [];

function doPerm(prefix, suffix, result) {
if (suffix.length === 0)
    result.push(prefix);
else {
    for (var i = 0; i < suffix.length; i++) {
        doPerm(prefix + suffix.charAt(i), suffix.slice(0, i) + suffix.slice(i + 1), result);
    }
}
}

function permAlone(str) {
var prefix = "";
var suffix = str;
doPerm(prefix, suffix, result);
return result;
}

console.log(permAlone('aab'));

A: This is a bit of on the back of a piece of paper thinking but.
for(i;i<string.length;i++) {
      var s = string.slice(i,i+1);
      var c = string.charAt(i);
      var q = s.split("");

      for(b=0;b<q.length;b++) {

          var newArray = q.slice();
          newArray.splice(b,0,c);
          result.push(newArray.join());
      }
}

does that work?
UPDATE this seems to work!
<script>

var string = "aab";
var result = [];

for(i=0;i<string.length;i++) {
      var c = string.charAt(i);

      var q = string.split("");
      q.splice(i,1);

      console.log("first");
      console.log(q);
      console.log(c);

      for(b=0;b<q.length;b++) {

          var newArray = q.slice();
          newArray.splice(b,0,c);
          result.push(newArray.join());
      }
}

console.log(result);

</script>

Food Poverty – Changing the Story
14th Mar 2018, 12:00pm - 3:30pm
Hunger is increasingly becoming a mode of existence in the UK. Over half a million UK children live in families unable to provide a minimally acceptable diet. Refusal of the UK Government to recognise the existence of, and address food poverty has also resulted in food aid becoming institutionalised in the UK.
A family's ability to eat well has been impacted by a myriad of factors including: the economic crisis; the recession; severe cuts to public finances and welfare reforms (Lambie-Mumford 2015). Increased housing, fuel and food costs, in addition to static incomes have also added to this burden (Davies et al. 2014), resulting in a decrease in food expenditure; and substitution of fruit and vegetables for less expensive processed poor quality calorie dense food (Griffith, O' Connell and Smith 2013).
Despite the political discourse on food poverty (Parliamentary Inquiry into Hunger and Food Poverty (Food Poverty Inquiry 2014), and the known detrimental impacts of food poverty on short and long term physical, emotional and mental health, the current government sees no relationship between its welfare reforms and the increase in food aid across the UK (Downing et al. 2014). Hence, there is no existing Government strategy in place to address food poverty or no future plans to develop such a strategy, despite the recognition that food aid provided by charitable and private organisations is limited and short term.
The purpose of this event is to invite organisations at a national and regional level who have a role to play in ensuring populations group are able to access healthy affordable food to discuss and debate solutions to address food poverty at a societal level.
Confirmed speakers: Dr John Cater, Vice Chancellor of Edge Hill University; Professor Martin Caraher, Professor of Food & Health Policy at the Centre for Food Policy at City, University of London; Rosie Oglesby, Director of Feeding Britain; Dr Kathleen Mooney, Senior Lecturer in Nutrition & Health at Edge Hill University, Gerard Woodhouse, Labour Councillor for Liverpool County Ward & Food Bank Manager; and Robbie Davison, Director of Can Cook.

Foiling Week expands in 2016
Posted in Press release, TFW's news, video on February 10, 2016 by Foiling Week.
The Foiling Weektm is the first and only series of global events dedicated to the amazingly fast foiling boats, their sailors, designers and builders.
After two successful editions in 2014 and 2015 held at Fraglia Vela Malcesine on Lake Garda in Italy, Foiling Weektm is happy to announce that in 2016 the Foiling Week will also hold an additional event in the USA.
[youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qUTBYiemlpU]
In its third year Foiling Week Association has decided to follow up on the numerous overseas requests to hold a Foiling Week event and as a result, Sail Newport, in Newport R.I. will co-organize the second act of the Foiling Week Series 2016.
The first event in Malcesine on Lake Garda from July 7th to 10th is the 'classic' Foiling Week organized by Foiling Week Association together with Fraglia Vela Malcesine.
The second event of Foiling Weektm in 2016 takes place in Newport, Rhode Island, USA from September 8th to 11th.
The program will include the Forums to be held in the morning and the on water activities mainly in the afternoon with a Foiling Expo and Foiling Boat Trials available throughout the week. There will be races for the one-design classes, long distance races along with prototypes, a speed contest and a permanent training area for those not racing at that time.
Foiling Week – Malcesine, Lake Garda
At Malcesine the Moth class will have an excellent opportunity to test the waters of the venue that will host the 2017 International Moth World Championship.
The Flying Phantoms will hold a regatta as part of the 2016 Flying Phantom Series and the GC32 foiling catamarans return for a leg of the 2016 GC32 Racing Tour. The Waszp, S9, kitefoils and prototypes will also race over two race courses during Foiling Week in Lake Garda.
Nicolas Felix from Phantom International: "For the second year in a row, the Flying Phantom Series will join the Foiling Week event in early July. Lake Garda is one of the favourite sailing venues for European sailors and a perfect place to organize Flying Phantom races. With its unique dedication to foiling boats with new foiling classes this year, The Foiling Week is definitely one of the key events of the season and also a great opportunity to enjoy this fantastic area."
About their participation at Foiling Week 2016, Christian Scherrer, the GC32 Class Manager, declared: "The GC32 Racing Tour is looking forward to coming to Malcesine on Lake Garda for the second event in our season. Having the GC32 Malcesine Cup as part of The Foiling Week gives this event a very special status. The Fraglia Vela Malcesine will become the hot spot for the foiling community for the first week of July. We are counting on a great event and interesting meetings ashore."
The President of Fraglia Vela Malcesine, Gianni Testa, says: "We're enthusiastic to be part of such a successful project that this year will also expand to Newport, USA. The Foiling Week has gained a very special status within the foiling community and in the 2016 we welcome as new member of our foiling family the GC32 catamarans with their Racing Tour. Lake Garda is one of the best spot for sailing and we're happy to organize for the third year in a row this exciting event together with the The Foiling Week Association. We look forward to the first week of July and to lots of exciting days with foiling boats!"
Foiling Week – Newport R.I.
Newport will hold races including the Moth North-American Championship and the A Class Catamaran Pre-Nationals. The C Class multihulls and a lot of prototypes will fly during the week from 8th to 11th September.
Brad Read, who heads Sail Newport, which masterminded the last Volvo Ocean Race stopover, declared "We are very excited to bring this international event to Newport. High-performance sailing has a home here and has for generations. Sail Newport Sailing Centre is the home of one of the nations largest foiling Moth classes. Narragansett Bay is popular for kite boarders which are now equipped with lifting foils as well as the foiling A Class catamaran fleet in Bristol.
Boats that literally fly out of the water are not a new development. The technology is becoming more 'mainstream'. We look forward to the sharing of technology and showcasing ideas among sailors from around the world in Newport Rhode Island in September."
In the past editions a lot of flying boats including foiling mono hulls, multi hulls, kite-surf boards, windsurfers, and a wide variety of prototypes have been sailed by sailors including professionals such as Sebastian Col, Francois Gabart, Josh McKnight, Stefano Rizzi, to name just a few.
In both venues the Forums will be scheduled during the week with presentations in the morning and a round table with Q and A's to close the sessions on these days.
Around 40 influential speakers will join in the most relevant Foiling Forum subjects worldwide for three days. In previous editions, designers, sailors and builders including Tom Speer, Martin Fischer, Kevin Hall, Davide Tagliapietra, Doug Schickler, Guillaume Verdier and Andrew 'Amac' McDougal have provided detailed analysis, explained projects and shared informative discussion on the art of foiling and ideas for future developments.
Forum Workshops will be scheduled during the mornings and at the end of racing in the afternoons from Thursday 7th to Saturday 9th July in Malcesine and from Thursday 8th to Saturday 10th in Newport. Special forum sessions are open to those who have innovative ideas and projects to propose.
An Exhibition of foiling crafts and test trials on board some of the boats, provides a rare opportunity to try the 'third mode of sailing'.
Nominations are now open for Boat Show exhibitors and sponsors who would like to support the events.
Foiling! – Fast, Furious and Fun
The foiling week is pleased to invite applications to the Malcesine and Newport Forums. We are also pleased to invite local and international companies to sponsor and/or exhibit at the Foiling Week events 2016. Please write to contact@old.foilingweek.com

WhatsApp scammers increasingly professional: anyone can be a victim
The Dutch have already lost millions of euros this year due to WhatsApp fraud. Who are these WhatsApp scam artists anyway?
Who are these WhatsApp scammers?
Anyone with a phone number has probably received a text message in which it appears as if the bank is seeking contact. "Your Banking app expires for use. Connect your new app now "or" To prevent your debit card from being restricted, you must replace your debit card on time ". If you know anything about phishing, you do not fall for it and you never tap on the attached links. But what's happening on WhatsApp right now is a completely different story.
Friend-in-emergency fraud or help request fraud via WhatsApp is more realistic and, above all, much more personal. In a series of messages, a child tells a parent or grandparent that he / she has a new phone number. Not much later they are asked to transfer money, because otherwise something bad will happen. "I'll return it tomorrow!" Of course you do not let your dear (grand) child sit in need, so you make some money. Not knowing that there is a scammer on the other side of the messages and the famous profile picture. In this way, hundreds of people fall victim to WhatsApp fraud every year. This year more than ever.
Source: Politie.nl
Figures from the Fraud Help Desk show that more than 1,200 people were defrauded on 1 November 2020 this year. Together, these people have already paid 3.7 million euros. This mainly concerns people over the age of 55 who fall victim via WhatsApp. These people often have adult children and usually also have accumulated savings. It is wrongly believed that this target group is mainly a victim of ignorance about smartphones, apps and digital banking. It's not that simple.
Scammers are sophisticated
If you've never been a target of WhatsApp fraud yourself, you've probably seen these conversations pop up on social media. People get a message from someone pretending to be their child, while they don't have a child at all. Then they try to play the game for fun. Screenshots of these conversations are doing well on Twitter and Facebook.
These are random attacks, in which a wide net is thrown in the hope that someone will kick them anyway. But scammers are much more sophisticated about this form of WhatsApp fraud. For example, they scour your and your children's social media to see what is going on in your life and what your language use is. Think about which emoji you use. The attacks are then set up so precisely that everyone can kick in. You don't have to be old for that with little knowledge about smartphones.
Who are they
"It is becoming safer on the street, but online crime is on the rise," says police spokesman Bobby Markus. Android Planet. But who exactly are the scammers? The police cannot say much about that: "It is not really a type. You can't put it in a box. " The police are trying to get a picture by making connections between all reports that come in.
"That is quite an exercise," says Markus. "We have gone from 120 reports per week to 100 reports per day." This is because the police added the option to file a report online in April. Among those reports are also people who have not been victims, but have received the question from a scammer.
According to the police, a few things are now clear. "People involved in WhatsApp fraud also often engage in other types of fraud," says Markus. As an example, the spokesperson cites the sale of fitness equipment via a rogue webshop. The second is that criminals are becoming more and more professional.
Criminal industry
It is not the case that a scammer does everything himself. It is a criminal industry in which everyone has their own role. Research by RTL Nieuws has shown that criminals sell lists with names, addresses, 06 numbers and the name of the bank where the person is a customer. These are 'fresh leads', which means that the individuals on these lists have never been contacted by a scammer before. That is interesting, because it is much more likely that that person will fall for it. These lists, with mainly people over 50, are sold through criminal forums and chat groups with sometimes hundreds to thousands of members.
By making these leads as extensive as possible, with extra information found via social media, for example, more money can be asked. For example, money is already being made with WhatsApp fraud before anyone has received a message.
Then there are also cat catchers, for example. These are people who make their account number available to scammers. The scammer uses that account number to transfer the money safely, while the cat catcher leaves a part in the account.
So, these scam artists are quite professional and should not be underestimated. They also make smart use of current affairs, Marloes Kolthof, director of the Fraud Helpdesk, tells Android Planet: "People are now more digital and scammers just use it". Yet the growth of WhatsApp fraud is not only a result of the corona crisis, Markus knows: "The increase in digital crime was already there before corona".
The most important thing to know about these scam artists is that they are always coming up with new ways to knock people out of their pockets. "In recent weeks, we have also seen, for example, that if the victim easily falls for it, the fraudster contacts the victim again with the offer to help. And then even more money is taken away, "says Kolthof. The police see bank helpdesk fraud on the rise. Via 'spoofing' it appears on your mobile that you are calling the bank. You see ING on your screen and then you actually get someone on the line.
The Fraud Help Desk and the police are running campaigns to raise awareness about WhatsApp fraud and also try to reach people who don't spend much time on the internet. Kolthof therefore hopes to see a quick decrease in WhatsApp fraud, but it does not end there: "Then they will find another channel." So the most important thing is to always stay alert.
It is precisely because these criminals are so smart that anyone can become a victim of WhatsApp fraud. There are several ways to ensure that you and your loved ones get off this dance. We list the most important ones:
Never transfer money based on a text message, via SMS or WhatsApp. For example, call the person or company behind the message.
Set up two-factor authentication. WhatsApp fraud can also happen due to someone hacking into a WhatsApp account. You keep these people out via two-factor verification.
Do not share too much personal information online about your living situation and what you are experiencing. In doing so, you give scammers the tools to fool you or your loved ones.
Inform your parents and other loved ones. You probably know it all, but your parents or grandparents may not. Explain to them what to look out for and agree on how you communicate about zld affairs.
