Re: Detective Comics Cinematic Universe (formerly Man of Steel)
So has anyone heard of this show on syfy called "Krypton" that takes place 2 generations before the events of Superman? I have never heard of it but Season 2 just premiered. Zod and his followers look a lot like NOD troops from C&C Tiberium Sun so it piqued my interest.
As far as I can tell Val-El, patriarch of the El family, is arrested and executed by the corrupt leadership of Krypton. The El's are stripped of their noble privileges and forced to live in the slums. Val-El's son, Seg, figures out that his father was arrested because he found a terrible secret. Then some people from the future come back in time to save Krypton. An earth man named Adam Strange and General Zod.
From what I can tell its one part Dune, one part Red Faction, and a dash of Game of Thrones. Val-El is even played by the same actor as Barristan Selmy from GoT.
Edit: Oh, also the actor that plays Zod sounds VERY similar to Patrick Stuart, at least in the speech I heard him give in Season 2's premier. I may go back and watch season 1.

Haven't seen it (or even heard about it), but in case people haven't heard, the latest DC series, Swamp Thing has been cancelled a week after it premiered. This has nothing to do with ratings, but the fact that North Carolina screwed up and miscalculated the tax break it had given the show. Basically the show's budget was cut in half and considering that it's a budget heavy show, its been cancelled.
There's a forthcoming show on the CW network; I've seen previews while watching The Flash but they don't give a title. There's a spotlight Batsignal, and a woman in a Batsuit, and a "Coming Soon". Thats all I know right now.
That would be Batwoman, with Ruby Rose as the eponymous heroine.

Also not clear if it's going to be in the same multiverse as The Flash, Supergirl, Arrow, and Legends. I remember one episode of Arrow when they went to Gotham City.
Holy shit, Adam Strange! One of my favourite trades as a kid was an Adam Strange.
So I finally got around to watching Shazam and I liked it a lot!

Sounding like it was good. I am worried people are going to go into it thinking its an action movie because its a comic book movie when really its a drama about a man being broken.

In a world as nihilistic and violent and grim as the one we currently live in, with more people than ever more aware of that, I cannot imagine a movie I want to see less than one focused only the Joker. Without even a Batman to kick his ass. I don't get it. Like, America practically elected the fucking Joker.
I'd say I might be taking it too seriously - which is true regardless - but it sounds like the movie, director and star all do too...
Doesn't help that the director can't understand where peoples criticism is coming from.

Someone watch that and tell me if it's good.
One of the only Millar-written comics I still like. But I haven't read it in ages so maybe I'd hate it now.
Blue Kitty
For me Millar's comics work when he has to use established characters, not his own original ones
The movies have always, with the exception of Wanted, been better than the comics
Apparently the Harley Quinn so is actually really good
Although I agree with you on a relative scale, because none of his work with other people's IPs are as bad as say, Kick-Ass or Wanted, but it's not like Ultimates is... good.
Also, Millar seems to really, really hate women.
The first 2 Ultimates were good for the time, and really laid the groundwork for Ultimate Marvel and the Marvel movies
But yeah, he sucks when it comes to writing women
Still the best thing involving him
Millar is basically a teenage edge lord who never grew up.
DC Fandome is over and here's some good stuff from it

But more importantly, Suicide Squad actually looks good/fun
//www.youtube.com/watch?v=A8tWKJwyG6Y
Okay, seen the Batman and Suicide Squad 2 trailers. I might be coming across as a bit burned out but really my only thoughts are as follows:
The Batman - Look, can we come to terms with the fact that Christopher Nolan got Batman as dark as the character can get without being taken ludicrously OOC? Trying to one-up the Dark Knight Trilogy is a futile exercise and will only make Batman an increasingly fringe character for a fringe audience. Also, am I the only one tired of Batman movies whose colour pallate is black, dark grey, dark brown, occasionally dark green and even more occasionally searing white spotliights for 'dramatic sillhouettes'. I want to see the motion pictures that I go to see, not just hear them as I squint at indistinct darting shadows;
Suicide Squad 2 - Hrm. Looks like Warner Brothers hasn't tired of throwing bundles of money into this particular trash fire of a franchise. Looks like James Gunn has decided to go with the 'deafen and dazzle the audience into submission' pattern of action flicks.
Probably an unpopular opinion, but I liked WW1984 a lot. Definitely flawed, but it was a lot of fun, and it was more consistent than the first one. Also, a guy named Chris plays a guy named Steve who shows up about 66-67 years after apparently dying in a plane crash. Probably one of the more specific coincidences in comic book movies.

When in doubt, throw an FFT at it.

Probably an unpopular opinion, but I liked WW1984 a lot. Definitely flawed, but it was a lot of fun, and it was more consistent than the first one.
It wasn't as bad as a lot of reviews seem to paint it as, but it was disjointed as all hell. It didn't suffer the huge drop in logic in the third act like the first one did, but that's mainly because the logic was completely scattershot throughout. The bones of a good movie are there (a lot of people are fussing about the macguffin, but it's a perfectly valid comic book macguffin, especially in a universe where the world-ending widgets from the big team up movie were called "mother boxes") and Pine, Pascal (I just love watching this guy go full ham) and Wiig are doing great work with their roles. But Gadot just doesn't have enough acting capability to carry a movie (also the way she chooses which words to emphasize when speaking English is still baffling) and the entire Egypt sequence needed to be axed in favor of an extended WH action scene and some actual explanation of what the hell was going on with Max Lord.
And this isn't even touching on the whole problem of consent when it comes to the guy Steve's spirit possessed. He reappears and neither of them question it, they just go straight to bonetown. Then, instead of Diana realizing that she had to give up on her wish because it's stealing some random person's life, Steve has to convince her because "you need your powers to win." This was a prime chance to expand on the whole "the truth is bigger" and "nothing good comes from lies" lines they had been telegraphing earlier.
So, yes, decently fun but WAY too stupid.

The Suicide Squad was so much better than it had any right to be. My favorite DCCU movie yet.

Not having s3x with Marvin Gaye is 'a great regret' – Jane Fonda
By effizziemag	 On Sep 4, 2020
82-year-old activist and actress, Jane Fonda has expressed regret of not sleeping with late R&B icon Marvin Gaye.
Recounting how she turned down the "sexual healing" singer in a Q&A with The New York Times, the actress said Gaye was so fond of her and even had a picture of her on his fridge.
When asked whether her greatest regret is that she never had sex with Argentine revolutionary guerilla leader Che Guevara, Fonda replied: "No, I don't think about him."
Instead, she mourned her opportunity with the Prince of Soul. She added that being married at that time, stopped her from getting down with the singer.
Fonda said;
"No, I don't think about him. Who I do think about, and what is a great regret is Marvin Gaye.
"He wanted to and I didn't. I was married to Tom [Hayden]. I was meeting a lot of performers to try to do concerts for Tom and the woman who was helping me do that introduced me to Marvin Gaye."
Asked if Gaye's pickup line included the phrase "sexual healing," Fonda responded;
"I needed some but he didn't say that, no.
"But then I read, apparently he had my picture on his refrigerator. I didn't find that out until later, after he was dead."
When asked about her time spent with "The Chase" co-star Marlon Brando, Fonda said;
"Disappointing. But a great actor."
Marvin Gaye died at the age of 44 after being shot by his father.
Fonda on the other hand has been married three times, first to Roger Vadim from 1965 to 1973. She married second husband Hayden in 1973, separating in 1990. Finally, she married Ted Turner in 1991, divorcing him in 2001. She most recently dated producer Richard Perry, from 2009-2017.

Michigan is going to draw heavy action on this game, which should raise the line. So I'd actually hold out and bet later. But I say that because star Florida receiver Antonio Callaway and six other players have been suspended for this game. The players were suspended for a violation of team rules, and a Florida spokesman declined to elaborate on which rule was broken. However, it has leaked out that some of the players involved used the funds from part of their scholarship agreement to buy electronics equipment, then later reported the cards stolen. Some players sold the electronics equipment purchased with the school-issued funds. Callaway also was suspended from team activities during the spring semester in 2016 after a woman accused him of sexual assault. Callaway was found not responsible at a hearing last August and placed back on the team. He played in 12 games, missing the North Texas game with an injury, and gained a team-high 721 receiving yards on a team-high 54 catches. He also led the team in receiving in 2015. In May, he was arrested on charges of misdemeanor marijuana possession in Gainesville. In addition to Callaway, offensive lineman Kadeem Telfort; linebackers James Houston and Ventrell Miller; and defensive linemen Jordan Smith, Richerd Desir-Jones and Keivonnis Davis were suspended. Only Jones was likely to play a lot (in addition to Callaway).
So while you must give kudos to UF coach Jim McElwain for suspending his rule-breakers, Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh isn't doing the same. In mid-October of last year, WR Grant Perry was accused of groping the groin and buttocks of a female Michigan State student outside of an East Lansing bar. As a result, Perry was initially charged with two counts of sexual assault, and one each of a minor in possession of alcohol and resisting an officer. The latter charge was a felony, the others misdemeanors. In fact, Perry pleaded guilty in late June to one felony count of resisting a police officer and one misdemeanor count of assault and battery. Earlier this month, he was sentenced to 12 months probation and fined. Yet he's playing!? Harbaugh still hasn't named his starting QB. Although Wilton Speight was Michigan's starter for the 2016 season and entered the spring as the most likely starter for the offense going into the fall. John O'Korn, who transferred from Houston started one game in place of an injured Speight last season, was expected to push for the starting job. Most believe it will be Spieght again.
The best quarterback on the field this game by far will be Wyoming's Josh Allen, who might be the No. 1 overall pick in next year's NFL Draft. Last year, Allen helped lead Wyoming to the 2016 Mountain Division title and a spot in the Mountain West Conference title game. He was a key player in Wyoming's win over two Top 25 ranked teams in 2016, as the Cowboys also earned votes in the national polls. The Cowboy offense ranked No. 2 in the MW and No. 25 in the nation in scoring offense, averaging 35.9 points per game. Allen ranked No. 1 in the Mountain West and No. 6 nationally in passing yards per completion (15.33 yards). He also led the MW and was No. 16 in the country in points responsible for (218). Allen threw 28 touchdown passes in 2016, placing him No. 1 in the conference and No. 20 in the NCAA. He was second in the MW and 32nd in the nation in passing yards (3,203). Allen was also No. 2 in conference and No. 40 in the nation in total offense (266.1 yards per game). His 3,203 passing yards in 2016 are the fifth best single-season total in Wyoming school history, and his 3,726 yards of total offense in a single season rank No. 3 in school history. His 36 touchdowns responsible for — passing (28), rushing (7) and receiving (1) — rank No. 2 in Wyoming history. Just three years ago, Allen was a 6-4, 185-pound pole of a quarterback from a small town in California without a Division I offer. The Hawkeyes and Cowboys have squared off twice. Iowa won 21-7 in Iowa City in 1953, and squeaked out a 20-19 Holiday Bowl win over the Cowboys in 1987.
Maybe I'm just anti-Big Ten today, but I'm taking the Gators and the points when people overreact to the Callaway suspension and I'm taking Wyoming at +12.5. In conclusion, I think the Cowboys could win outright.

Beattie wurde bei den Wahlen zum Schottischen Parlament im Jahre 2011 als Direktkandidat der SNP für den neugebildeten Wahlkreis Midlothian North and Musselburgh, der Teile der Council Areas Midlothian und East Lothian umfasst, aufgestellt und ging mit knapp 3000 Stimmen (etwa 10 %) Vorsprung vor dem Kandidaten der Labour Party Bernard Harkins als Gewinner des Wahlkreises hervor. Der Gewinn dieses Wahlkreises für die SNP war insofern bedeutsam, als es sich um eine Hochburg der Labour Party handelte.

Anfang November 2016 kündigte der Nahrungsmittelkonzern Mondelez an, aufgrund der gestiegenen Rohkakaopreise künftig die Abstände zwischen den Schokoladenecken in den von Mondelez produzierten Toblerone-Riegeln zu vergrößern. Danach gab es zahlreiche Konsumentenproteste. Obwohl ein Sprecher von Mondelez ausdrücklich erklärte, dass die Änderung nicht aufgrund des anstehenden EU-Austritts erfolge ("This change wasn't done as a result of Brexit."), stellte Beattie am 16. November 2016 einen Antrag im schottischen Parlament, dass die britische Regierung hier "beschleunigt handeln" müsse ("take speedy action"). Die Änderung sei "sinnbildhaft für die vernichtenden Konsequenten, die ein Brexit mit sich bringen könnte".

Beattie ist verheiratet und Mitglied des Rotary Clubs in Dalkeith.

Q: Turn off autocomplete in PhpStorm Right now if I type in $ into Jetbrains PhpStorm IDE, it will display a whole bunch of suggestions (e.g. variables that have already been declared) which slows down my typing.
Is there a way to configure PhpStorm to NOT do this? In other words, turn off auto-complete or only do auto-complete if I press Ctrl+Space and not when I just type in $?

A: This is more an answer to the linked "duplicate" question, but I can't answer that one. Hope this helps someone.
To disable HTML auto-completion, see Settings -> Editor -> General -> Smart Keys.
There is a section called XML/HTML where you can toggle auto-completion of HTML tags and attributes.
In my case I was looking to disable Auto close tags when typing '</' option.

A: Disable code completion?
See Settings/Preferences(depends on OS) - IDE Settings - Editor - Code Completion
There you should find an option Autopopup code completion in (ms)

If the check box is not selected, PhpStorm will not suggest code completion automatically.

See also the online help.

A: My auto-completion was not working, I had to execute in menu File->Invalidate cache... (and disable Nette tester plugin in my case)

Almost two-thirds (63%) of surveyed consumers think it's important for brands that they like or follow to have a point-of-view on societal issues, according to findings from a YouGov Omnibus survey of people in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) shared with Marketing Dive. Of the 1,003 respondents, 65% of males in the region and two-thirds of millennials held this sentiment.
About half of UAE consumers, or 47%, think brands should take a stance on issues that are relevant to the moment or to the brand, while 42% think brands shouldn't express their views on political or social issues. Among respondents, 51% think brands take advantage of social issues to promote themselves and exploit audiences, and 23% are more likely to trust a brand that promotes messaging on issues regardless of the overall impact on the brand.
Education, health awareness and environmental issues were the most "acceptable" areas for brands to express opinions through marketing, while LGBTQ rights and political opinions were the least favored, though most of the "acceptable" categories clearly touch on politics. Women felt more strongly about brands promoting health issues than men, and millennials cared most about education and health. About half of consumers would publicly praise or promote brands that take a stance on certain issues and would be more likely to purchase from brands expressing views that they personally agree with. Forty-seven percent say that a brand's stance on an issue enhances brand loyalty.
Plenty of recent research illustrates the growing demand consumers are placing on brands to be bolder in how they talk about political and social issues. YouGov Omnibus' survey, however, shows that the issues that matter most to people vary by culture and geography.
Given this, multinational marketers working outside of the U.S. may need to adapt their cause-driven messaging to best reach and build loyalty with specific audiences. Something like LGBTQ-focused marketing is in-demand — and, according to some research, severely underserved — in the states, but it might not resonate with UAE consumers who view the subject as less "acceptable," per YouGov.
Tailoring localization efforts by region has been a pain point for marketers before, and might be particularly important when crafting campaigns that touch on sensitive topics. As more brands develop opinions on social and political issues, consumers in different countries have expressed varying degrees of how far they want those conversations to go as well.
UAE respondents to YouGov's survey said they want brands to take more concrete action and are sometimes suspicious of those who are all talk. YouGov also revealed that 36% of respondents want brands to launch marketing campaigns in support of the cause, 33% want brands to share examples of their support or action and 31% want brands to announce a donation in support of the cause.
Taking a direct action to support a cause is a vital step in appealing to younger consumers. Separate research from MediaCom found that 54% of teenagers in the U.K. have deliberately purchased or stopped purchasing from brands because of its ethics, and 63% are more likely to purchase from brands that support causes or charities that are important to them. However, 37% are sometimes skeptical of brands' claims of supporting causes and 69% think brands overstate their support.
A public stance on social and political issues is becoming an important marketing tactic, and a growing number of consumers see brands as more effective in tackling social problems than governments. According to predictions from Forrester, U.S. CMOs will next year look for ways to use societal controversy to spark consumer energy. Marketers will also capitalize on societal divisions to disrupt the market by exploiting weaknesses or unresolved problems within an ecosystem to create value.

The Showmen's Guild of Great Britain exists to protect the interests of Travelling Showmen in Great Britain.

The Showmen's Guild was founded as the United Kingdom Van Dwellers Protection Association in 1889 in Salford. The formation of the guild was the main turning point of Showmen identifying their lifestyle as a culture rather than an occupation, leading to the idea of Travelling Showmen being a cultural group.

Due to being an insular community, most marriages being within the community, their own language (called Paylaree), their own traditions and customs, and long lineages within the community, most Showmen identify as being part of their own unique cultural group. Due to travelling about, the average British Showman has a mix of English, Scottish, Welsh and/or Irish heritage. Lots have partial Romani (mainly Romanichal) and partial Irish Traveller heritage too, but despite this, Showmen developed as a group separately to both Irish Travellers and Romanichal Travellers, and their roots, cultures, traditions and diddicoy identity are separate and distinct.

In 1917, the Showmen's Guild of Great Britain, as it became known, was recognised as the trade association for the travelling funfair business. It acquired the right to represent the business at local and national levels. It exists to promote and protect the Showmen's way of life and to preserve the unique cultural heritage of travelling fairs and circuses.

The Guild has a code of rules and also makes representations concerning proposed legislation when appropriate.
It has a membership of around 4,700 people and is organized into ten regional sections. In April 2018 Joe Mercer LLB MBA FCMI ACG, was appointed as General Secretary. Joe Mercer is currently the Secretary to the Association of Circus Proprietors.
It supports the National Fairground Archive, set up in 1994 at the University of Sheffield.
The Showmen's Guild organizes fairs, such as St Giles' Fair in Oxford, co-organized with the Oxford City Council.

Q: Agent pool selection on Azure Pipeline I have a long-running build I'd like sent to a self-hosted agent.  I've defined the pool with these agents in the Azure Pipeline.  The self-hosted agent is never selected.  How can I determine what is causing the Default pool to be rejected?

A: you are most likely missing some of the needed programs\binaries on the agent to run these jobs (like nodejs, or java etc). If you go to https://orgName.visualstudio.com/projectname/_settings/agentqueues you can examine your agents capabilities. You might be missing some of those.
Also, if you queue build manually on your hosted agent it should tell you why it cant do that.

Study: No scientific basis for laws on marijuana and driving
Graphic shows status of marijuana laws in U.S; 2c x 4 inches; 96.3 mm x 101 mm;
WASHINGTON (AP) – Six states that allow marijuana use legal tests to determine driving while impaired by the drug that have no scientific basis, according to a study by the nation's largest automobile club that calls for scrapping those laws.
The study commissioned by AAA's safety foundation said it's not possible to set a blood-test threshold for THC, the chemical in marijuana that makes people high, that can reliably determine impairment. Yet the laws in five of the six states automatically presume a driver guilty if that person tests higher than the limit, and not guilty if it's lower.
As a result, drivers who are unsafe may be going free while others may be wrongly convicted, the foundation said.
The foundation recommends replacing the laws with ones that rely on specially trained police officers to determine if a driver is impaired, backed up by a test for the presence of THC rather than a specific threshold. The officers are supposed to screen for dozens of indicators of drug use, from pupil dilation and tongue color to behavior.
The foundation's recommendation to scrap the laws in Colorado, Montana, Nevada, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Washington comes as legislatures in several more states consider adopting similar laws.
At least three states, and possibly as many as eleven, will vote this fall on ballot measures to legalize marijuana for either recreational or medicinal use, or both. Several legislatures are also considering legalization bills.
"There is understandably a strong desire by both lawmakers and the public to create legal limits for marijuana impairment in the same manner we do alcohol," said Marshall Doney, AAA's president and CEO. "In the case of marijuana, this approach is flawed and not supported by scientific research."
Determining whether someone is impaired by marijuana, as opposed to having simply used the drug at some time, is far more complex than the simple and reliable tests that have been developed for alcohol impairment.
There's no science that shows drivers become impaired at a specific level of THC in the blood. A lot depends upon the individual. Drivers with relatively high levels of THC in their systems might not be impaired, especially if they are regular users, while others with relatively low levels may be unsafe behind the wheel.
Some drivers may be impaired when they are stopped by police, but by the time their blood is tested they have fallen below the legal threshold because active THC dissipates rapidly. The average time to collect blood from a suspected driver is often more than two hours because taking a blood sample typically requires a warrant and transport to a police station or hospital, the foundation said.
In addition, frequent users of the drug can exhibit persistent levels of the drug long after use, while THC levels can decline more rapidly among occasional users. Nine states, including some that have legalized marijuana for medicinal use, have zero-tolerance laws for driving and marijuana that make not only the presence of THC in a driver's blood illegal, but also the presence of its metabolites, which can linger for weeks after use.
That makes no sense, said Mark A. R. Kleiman, a New York University professor specializing in issues involving drugs and criminal policy. "A law against driving with THC in your bloodstream is not a law you can know you are obeying except by never smoking marijuana or never driving," he said.
He said rather than switching to a new kind of law as AAA recommends, states should consider simply making it a traffic violation.
Studies show that using marijuana and driving roughly doubles the risk of a crash, Kleiman said. By comparison, talking on a hands-free cellphone while driving – legal in all states – quadruples crash risk, he said. A blood alcohol content of .12, which is about the median amount in drunken driving cases, increases crash risk by about 15 times, he said.
Driving with "a noisy child in the back of the car" is about as dangerous as using marijuana and driving, Kleiman said.
The exception is when a driver has both been using marijuana and drinking alcohol because the two substances together greatly heighten impairment, he said.
The foundation also released a second study that found the share of drivers in fatal crashes who had recently used marijuana doubled in Washington after the state legalized it for recreational use in December 2012. From 2013 to 2014, the share of drivers who had recently used marijuana rose from 8 percent to 17 percent.
While it stopped short of blaming the crashes on that increase, AAA traffic safety director Jake Nelson said traffic fatalities went up 6 percent in Washington during that same while the fatalities nationally declined.

Cars / News / Tech

There's an iCar coming? Why a car made by Apple is a terrible idea
Apple has been working on a project called Titan for several years now, though details about it are limited. Reportedly, Titan is Apple's way of joining the autonomous car market. There are rumors from people who follow the company that there's an Apple car in the works.
Some think Apple will release a self-driving car on its own, while others suggest the company will partner with other automakers. There are also some ideas as to what an Apple car could look like and what features would be included.
Apple has a few patents filed with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office that include car-related technology. Here are features that could exist in an Apple car based on a few of the company's recently-filed patents:
Dynamic privacy and window tinting
Standard car windows can't change the amount of light let into them. According to this patent it includes an invention that would change that. The patent is for Apple tech that can create windows with adjustable tint.
The patent says windows should be able to have adjustable tinting for a number of reasons. These reasons include adapting for outside weather, better driver privacy, and increased nighttime vision.
"Conventional windows and windshields have static light transmittance and cannot adapt to occupants of the vehicle, current conditions associated with weather or lighting, and actions of the occupants," the patent says. "In short, a vehicle with conventional exterior facing surfaces with static light transmittance would benefit from many improvements."
Another Apple car patent calls for an automated climate control system. The invention would use sensors on the inside and outside of the car to adjust the car's environment. It claims it would benefit drivers and passengers who ride in the car to create a comfortable environment.
The description of the patent gives the idea that sensors in the car could determine the weather and then adjust the temperature inside the car accordingly. This is meant to give people inside the car "comfortable climate conditions."
"The climate control system can respond to user commands, provided via one or more interfaces in the vehicle, including dials, knobs, touch-screen interfaces, etc," the patent says.
Augmented virtual display
For people who get carsick while looking at a screen or book in a car, Apple's augmented virtual display patent could be a big help. The invention says it will make looking at iPads, MacBooks, and other devices easier while riding in the car.
Apple claims these displays will prevent motion sickness by adjusting to the physical motions people make, caused by the car in motion. One example in the patent says that those wanting to read while riding in the car can have content displayed as though it's outside the car at a distance.
"The VR system may aid in productivity, as passengers may perform work while riding in the vehicle without experiencing motion sickness," the patent says.
Beyond the patents: Why an Apple car might not work out
Although Apple's car-related patents sound like fun features that haven't been used in a car before, Barrons says an Apple car might not be the best idea. For example, Barrons says manufacturing a quality car is difficult – a phone and a car retail for very different prices – and warranty, reliability and quality requirements between the two products also vary a lot. Apple might not be able to keep up with both.
Cost is another reason Apple might have trouble. According to Barrons, Volkswagen, the world's largest automaker, spent nearly $180 million on plant equipment over the past ten years. Apple only spent $100 million. Barrons says that in order for a car manufacturer to be successful, a lot of capital is required.
The Apple car is still mostly rumors, but the patents create a lot of curiosity. If an Apple car ever does become a real product, it will be interesting to see how the company pulls it off.

Olham-based D & M Windows and Doors Ltd has recently completed two large commercial installations using windows and doors fabricated by The Glazerite UK Group Ltd. VEKA-approved installer, D & M Windows, was appointed by contractors Brown & Bancroft to work on the Siemens office building in Congleton, Cheshire, thanks to their extensive experience across the North West. The transformation of the building took three months to complete and involved the installation of 200 VEKA M70 windows, in White, over four floors. Founded in 2006, by Mark and Darren Hoolickin, D & M Windows has worked with VEKA's largest trade fabricator, Glazerite, for the last four years. Last month, the installer put the finishing touches on another office building, Burlington House, in Crosby, Liverpool, using windows fabricated by Glazerite. In their first job for Amspec Ltd, Mark, Darren and their team installed over 500 VEKA M70 windows in Anthracite Grey, with a white interior. The project took just under five months to complete. D & M Windows' Managing Director, Mark Hoolickin, says: "We pride ourselves on providing excellent customer service and pour 100 per cent commitment into every job. As a family-run business, we work across every project from start to finish to ensure the customer receives the very best. Thanks to VEKA's profile system and fabricator Glazerite, we are able to achieve high standards on a range of jobs, from bespoke residential properties right through to large commercial installations like Siemens and Burlington House." Peter Smith, of Glazerite's North West division, adds: "Both installations are exemplary and highlight the high quality workmanship carried out by the D & M Windows team. We are delighted to have been able to supply both prestigious projects." To contact D & M Windows visit www.dandmwindowsanddoors.co.uk.

I had a great opportunity to participate in the VYCR Program in Colusa all Saturday afternoon. My husband and I had time to explore the beautiful view of the Sacramento River. After having lunch with the council, they took us to visit a store owner whose father had a very similar history has my husband's father – coming from China at a fairly young age and working as a cook for the surrounding region in ranches. There's a very strong Chinese American history in Colusa – a hidden underground city, opium dens, then later cooks….a now a respected grocery store owner.
We attended the lecture by UC Riverside professor on science fiction in Colusa's firehouse. Very interesting and well attended. The rest of the afternoon was activities and exhibits including mine.
Roberta James did a fabulous job of pulling quotes out from "Fahrenheit 451" to match the paintings. We were impressed out it all fitted.
I want to thank the committee and particular Roberta and Elizabeth for all your effort in putting this program together so well.

With Apple apparently set to unveil a new fifth-generation iPad and second-generation iPad mini at a media event in less than two weeks, the company will draw away the eyes of the tech world as Microsoft and Nokia attempt to drum up interest in their own competing devices on the very same day.
Microsoft already announced its Surface 2 lineup last month, with the new hardware set to go on sale Oct. 22. As it turns out, Apple is expected to hold an event that same day to announce its own next-generation tablets, products that will likely become available to purchase on Nov. 1, if past launch schedules are any indication.
Oct. 22 is also the same day that Nokia is scheduled to hold an event in Dubai where it is expected to introduce its own tablet hardware.
The scheduling overlap sets Apple up to steal a considerable amount of thunder from its competitors, who are trying to gain a foothold in the tablet market currently dominated by the iPad.
This month's iPad event isn't the first time Apple has scheduled a media blitz that conflicts with its competition. This year's Sept. 10 announcement of the iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c drew attention away from the IFA Berlin show, where a number of tech companies announced new products, including Samsung's Galaxy Note 3 handset and Galaxy Gear smart watch.
Last year, Microsoft's first-generation Surface products — and its Windows 8 desktop operating system — became available on Oct. 26. That was just three days after the iPad mini and fourth-generation iPad were announced by Apple, and a week before both devices became available for purchase.
For the last two years, Apple has settled into a pattern of announcing new iPhones in September and new iPads in October. The events are typically held on a Tuesday, with product availability occurring the Friday of the following week.

Benefit: Time to increase your cardiovascular endurance with constant movement. Incorporating a squat with a side shuffle adds intensity to your workout.
While maintaining a squatted position, shuffle your feet to the left two steps and squat down and touch the ground. Then shuffle back to the right two steps and touch the ground again. Stay low with your back straight and your chest up while shuffling. Pull your belly button into your spine. Your hands should be up in the front. Use quick deliberate steps side to side. Stay low and squatted throughout the duration of the movement.
Benefit: A strong core and back are essential for everyday movement. This move allows you to work both while giving you appropriate support in the process.
Lie prone on the ground, arms bent and at sides with hands placed near shoulders. Legs extended on floor behind you. Keep the spine straight and aligned. Extend one arm to the front, off the floor while simultaneously lifting the opposite leg off the floor, keeping your knees straight as you lift. Return both the arm and leg back to the starting position and repeat with the other arm and leg. Continue to alternate sides always using limbs in opposition.
Benefit: Keeping your mind and body moving at the same speed is important if you plan to continue to be active throughout your life. This move incorporates upper body exercises along with balance and a bit of strength for an overall great workout.
In a boxer stance, with both hands in fists guarding the face, raise the rear elbow into a horizontal position with your hand close to your shoulder. Snap that shoulder forward with the elbow in the lead. As the elbow hits the target, retract the arm back to the starting position. Be sure to pivot the rear foot as you snap the elbow forward. The hips should be square to the front when the elbow hits the imaginary target. Then bend your knees and lower your torso as you go into a deep wide leg squat. From the lowered position, shift your weight from the front leg to the rear while slightly bending forward to duck below an imaginary punch. Continue ducking front to back in a fluid motion coming down, shifting your weight, and returning to the upright position.
Benefit: Being still can be a very effective way to get fit. The static squat works your lower body and core and by raising your arms overhead you engage the whole upper body too.
Begin with feet wider than hip width apart, arms straight up overhead. Squat your bum down towards the ground bringing your thighs parallel to the floor and hold. Be sure your bum is tucked slightly under so you don't arch your back. Keep your core held tight and breathe.
Benefit: This machine engages your whole core to help strengthen it for mobility, posture, and balance.
This machine works your abdominals and erector spinae. Sit on the seat and grasp the handles keeping your arms rigid but not locked. Hold your abdominals tight and maintain good posture. Exhale as you push the machine down. Pull the machine back to the starting position. Pause at the top before pushing to fully engage your core.

Q: How should one interpret a double slash, //? Example usage I've seen: $x^2 / (y // z)$
Context: I recently started learning some fundamental electrical engineering, where I saw

I calculated the power doing $vs² / (r1 + ron + ron // ron+r2)$

A: In an electrical engineering context, I would guess that $a // b$ probably means the equivalent single resistance for 2 resistors in parallel of size $a$ and $b$, which is $\frac{ab}{a+b}$.

Many ways can be done by homeowners to renew their kitchens and the simple thing is painting the walls/cabinet with new color. Since colors available in many options, please don't make a wrong decision. So, what kind of color is the best choice for kitchen? There are four options you can consider!
This is a cool color that helps bring serenity, give a nice effect to make the room appear larger. Professionals recommend green as a nice choice for kitchen because able to boost mood and bring new ideas. Some brands offer green in various options just like the color of veggies and fruits, such as: spinach, broccoli, avocados and pears.
This is one of the best kitchen colors, a nice choice to increase appetite. However, not all reds can give a good effect. For example, bold shades of red are a bad choice for small room, but these are a good choice for large kitchen because warm and inviting. If you want to create an accent wall, use calmer red variations such as raspberry and pomegranate.
This color will automatically make guests and family members feel welcomed. Yellow works well to various colors. If your walls are white, place lemon yellow cabinets and install pastel yellow backsplash to create a perfect complement. This color creates a nice effect, able to boost the metabolism.
If you are looking for a color that able to give a soothing effect, blue is a nice solution. Homeowners recommend this color as represents cleanliness and sanitation. Motivate you subconsciously to keep the kitchen space look tidy. Blues available in various shades, such as periwinkle, sky blue and light blue, they are the best colors for wall.
1. Check over the color of cabinets. Take adjustment to all elements in the kitchen.
2. Match the wall tiles and floor. Take inspiration from the tiles that dominate the room.
3. Not an easy case to pick a color, use mood to narrow down your option.
4. Choose a wall color that works fine with a border.
5. Consider light color first.


Does your major match your passion? If it doesn't, then it needs to. If it does, then your entire career could end up being an incredible adventure. But if it doesn't, you may be setting yourself up for a future of career dislocation.
Why is passion so important, and why should your major reflect it?
When you read some financial blogs, you can easily get the impression that you're going to go from university to retirement in a few short years with some strong planning and funding efforts. But that's the TV version of life – or maybe the blog version. In the real world, there will be about 40 to 50 years of full-time work to get through first.
And that's the point – do you want to merely "get through it", or do you want to live it and enjoy it?
The answer should be obvious. But the only way you're going to really enjoy your life is if you're doing work that you truly like – work that you feel passionate about. You'll get a great big head start on that if you begin following your passion now. That will mean matching your university major with whatever your passion is.
The news only gets better when it comes to following your passion. If you are doing work that you do actually love, you are likely to make more money doing it. If you doubt that, just look at people like Mark Zuckerberg. He dropped out of Harvard to pursue his passion and brought us Facebook.
I'm not saying that you're likely to be the next Mark Zuckerberg, and I'm certainly not implying that you should drop out of school. What worked for Zuckerberg won't work for you or anyone else, but the basic idea is worth following – he achieve great success by pursuing his passion. You can get that ball rolling right now by aligning your major with your passion.
A driving passion supported by a strong, related education can open a lot of doors early in your life, and keep you moving at an extraordinary pace for a very long time. It stacks the odds in your favor, and that is at least part of where the potential for greater income enters the picture.
When beginning university, many students take on majors that they feel no better than lukewarm about. Perhaps that is where their parents or guidance counselors advised them to go. But if you are in a major that will lead to a career that you're not excited about, you're very likely setting the stage for career burnout later in your life.
Related: Student Advisors – Positive or Negative Experience?
Everyone experiences job or career burnout at some point during their lives, even people who are doing work they love. The difference is that those who are pursuing their passion are more likely to be able to work through the crisis, and to go on and prosper. Those working in careers they are not excited about will usually feel the worst effects of burnout. It is even possible that they can eventually become ineffective in the career, leading to an involuntary departure as a result of an employer dismissal.
It also seems that career burnout is coming earlier in life. Where it once waited for middle age, many people are now burning out in their 20s after only four or five years in a career. It may be that expectations are higher than ever by the employees themselves, or that employers are now demanding more of their workers. Whatever the reason, career burnout is something to keep on the radar screen. A career related your passion can be the best way to avoid this.
Why don't more students chose their passion as a major?
It's very likely that many students choose their majors based either on input from influential adults, such as teachers, parents and guidance counselors, or they opt to major in the hot career du jour. The problem of following the well-intentioned advice of adults is that it may not be consistent with who you are and what you want. But there's an even bigger problem in pursuing the career du jour – by the time you graduate it may no longer be the hot career.
I'm guessing that the number one reason is that most students simply don't know what their passion is this early in life. Either they haven't identified it, or perhaps they haven't even much thought about it. For such a student, it is perfectly reasonable to choose to major in a career field that will offer the most stable employment at the highest level of pay.
But if you know what your passion is, embrace it and build your university career around it. You are blessed both to have a passion and to know what it is, but in discovering it so early, you're also in a position to begin making it a reality at a young age. Seize those advantages, and start blending your university experience with your passion now.
It could be the difference between living a life filled with adventure – or one putting in your time until retirement.
Does your major match your passion?
I actually agree David – I've penned several articles about labour market realities balancing out the "do what you love" argument.


Please find this week's news round-up below, including the exciting news that this week Middlebury College announced a 10-year commitment to reduce energy consumption, phase out direct fossil fuel investments in the endowment, and create new educational programs that will help to empower future generations of environmental leaders.
View the full agenda here. We have an incredible group of 280 leaders registered for the Summit. The remaining spots are filling up quickly, and we hope to see you there!
Recognizing the profound threat of climate change, Middlebury College this week announced a 10-year commitment that will put the institution on a path toward a complete shift to renewable energy to power and heat its central campus. The plan also sets ambitious goals to reduce energy consumption, phase out direct fossil fuel investments in the endowment, and, significantly, to create new educational programs and opportunities that will help to empower future generations of environmental leaders.
In this article, Bill McKibben discusses how Vermont's Middlebury College has reversed its course on fossil fuel companies and is leading the way on renewable energy, outlining the factors and background that influenced their decision.
This article highlights how The Office of Investment Management at the United Nations Joint Staff Pension Fund believes portfolios that integrate material ESG metrics into their investment decision-making process, supported by active engagement, have the potential to provide returns that are superior to those of conventional portfolios while exhibiting lower risk over the long term, and how it has informed their investment approach.
Globally, the blue economy, including tourism, fisheries, marine renewable energy, and biotechnology, is predicted to grow at double the rate of the rest of the economy by 2030.

This report catalogs George Washington's sustainability efforts, including the creation of a Sustainable Investment Fund, which will allocate money from the university endowment toward responsible investment vehicles.
Cambridge University had been offered two new multimillion pound donations from global fossil fuel corporations as it considered calls made last year to divest its endowment fund from oil and gas companies. Documents seen by the Guardian show the university management was aware of a proposed £20m donation offered by BHP – subsequently withdrawn – and £2m from BP, as it considered whether to fully divest its fortune from fossil fuels. This information was not made public or divulged to key people in the decision-making process. Critics claim the offers skewed the process and are demanding the decision is overturned.
Middlebury College will divest its $1 billion endowment from fossil fuels within 15 years. The commitment is part of a larger package of environmental reforms the college announced on Tuesday. The school has also promised to transition to 100 percent renewable energy sources – not derived from fossil fuels – for electric and thermal power at its main Vermont campus by 2028 and to reduce its overall energy consumption by 25 percent in that same time period. The school will also expand its climate-focused academic and research programming.
In this article, the author argues that the disproportionate impact of climate change on women is an opportunity for Cambridge University's all-female colleges to lead the divestment movement.

Biden Admits He's Powerless to Act on His Primary 2020 Campaign Promise
President Joe Biden frankly admitted that he was powerless to defeat the coronavirus pandemic on Monday, making it clear the federal government couldn't stop the spread of the virus.
"Look, there is no federal solution," Biden said in response to questions from Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson. "This gets solved at the state level. My message to the governor is simple: If you need something, say something and we're going to have your back in any way we can."
The President made the frank admission from the faux Oval Office television set his staffers have set up in the general vicinity of the White House.
President Joe Biden had routinely claimed that he'd be able to "shut down the virus" in his 2020 campaign, emphasizing the promise to the degree it could be very reasonably called his signature campaign promise. Now, with Biden in office and more Americans dead of the coronavirus in his reign rather than that of his predecessor, the establishment 'global governance' Democrat is moving to pawn off responsibility of his failure to deliver on state governors.
The Joe Biden administration's coronavirus policies aren't very different from Donald Trump's, with one major difference lying in the Democrat President's politicization of vaccines through forced mandates. Sitting in a room and telling people what to do has never been a legitimate form of leadership in solving any problem, let alone when it consists of telling Americans to damage their livelihoods, quality of life, and their children's education in the way fanatical Democrats have.
Shortly after admitting that the fundamental premise of his 2020 campaign was little more than a fraud, President Joe Biden departed Washington DC for a vacation at his Delaware coastal beach home.

The notion that a viral disease with the ability to spread to the ends of the Earth was ever an matter to be merely "solved" by Joe Biden's signature fanatical partisanship, bogus political influencers, or false internet medical advice was always a fraud.


(1) As used in this part, the term child with a disability means a child evaluated in accordance with §§300.530-300.536 as having mental retardation, a hearing impairment including deafness, a speech or language impairment, a visual impairment including blindness, serious emotional disturbance (hereafter referred to as emotional disturbance), an orthopedic impairment, autism, traumatic brain injury, an other health impairment, a specific learning disability, deaf-blindness, or multiple disabilities, and who, by reason thereof, needs special education and related services.
(1)(i) Autism means a developmental disability significantly affecting verbal and nonverbal communication and social interaction, generally evident before age 3, that adversely affects a child's educational performance. Other characteristics often associated with autism are engagement in repetitive activities and stereotyped movements, resistance to environmental change or change in daily routines, and unusual responses to sensory experiences. The term does not apply if a child's educational performance is adversely affected primarily because the child has an emotional disturbance, as defined in paragraph (b)(4) of this section.
(3) Deafness means a hearing impairment that is so severe that the child is impaired in processing linguistic information through hearing, with or without amplification, that adversely affects a child's educational performance.
(6) Mental retardation means significantly subaverage general intellectual functioning, existing concurrently with deficits in adaptive behavior and manifested during the developmental period, that adversely affects a child's educational performance.
(8) Orthopedic impairment means a severe orthopedic impairment that adversely affects a child's educational performance. The term includes impairments caused by congenital anomaly (e.g., clubfoot, absence of some member, etc.), impairments caused by disease (e.g., poliomyelitis, bone tuberculosis, etc.), and impairments from other causes (e.g., cerebral palsy, amputations, and fractures or burns that cause contractures).


Abstract : We address the problem of navigation in topo- metric maps created by using odometry data and visual loop- closure detection. Based on our previous work , we present an optimized version of our loop-closure detection algorithm that makes it possible to create consistent topo-metric maps in real-time while the robot is teleoperated. Using such a map, the proposed navigation algorithm performs qualitative localization using the same loop-closure detection framework and the odometry data. This qualitative position is used to support robot guidance to follow a predicted path in the topo-metric map compensating the odometry drift. Compared to purely visual servoing approaches for similar tasks, our path-following algorithm is real-time, light (not more than two images per seconds are processed), and robust as odometry is still available to navigate even if vision information is absent for a short time. The approach has been validated experimentally with a Pioneer P3DX robot in indoor environments with embedded and remote computations.


It is not possible at this time, if ever it will be, adequately to commemorate Harold Lasswell. The intellectual heritage he has left us is too great and too various, and his dedicated, pioneering, omnicompetent, and compassionate presence is still too recently and too intensely among us.
Lasswell's contributions to law, and especially to theory and procedures for inquiry about law, are scarcely less monumental, though as yet less well recognized. He was not a member of the bar, but in a functional sense he was a great lawyer, even in giving advice about particular cases. For him law was, in a tradition extending back into antiquity, a process of authoritative decision by which the members of a community clarify and implement their common interests. As such a process, law was but a component part of the broader process of effective power that Lasswell had long studied as a political scientist. Hence, it was only natural that he should seek to bring the broad conceptions of an emerging policy science to bear upon the creation of a jurisprudence, or theory of inquiry about law, that would be sufficiently comprehensive, and sufficiently detailed, economically to locate authoritative decision in the larger social processes by which it was affected and which it in turn affected.
Another important contribution made by Lasswell to theory for inquiry about law was his emphasis upon configuration or contextuality. Though man was at the center of the universe, he was a member of interpenetrating, (p. xxxix) concentric communities of interdetermination, expanding out from the locality to the farthest reaches of an earth-space community. Because of contemporary technology and other factors, interdependence in the shaping and sharing of values both characterized each particular community and transcended all communities. In situations of scarce resources and competitive demands for values, authoritative decision had of necessity to choose between values. Rationality in decision required, therefore, the calculation, within the limits of economy, of the different costs and benefits to all the individuals and communities involved, with an appropriate integration or accommodation in common interest.
Still another important contribution by Lasswell was his emphasis upon problem-solving and the relevance of a variety of intellectual skills. For him a problem was a disparity between goals and achievement; meaningful problem-solving was dedicated to removing such disparities. Effective problem-solving could not be achieved by syntactic derivation alone, but required the detailed specification of preferred policies, the study of comparable past trends in decision and context, investigation of the factors affecting decision and context, the projection of possible future developments, and the invention and evaluation of new alternatives in decision and decision processes. The whole of Lasswell's comprehensive framework of theory for inquiry about law was designed to facilitate the more effective and economical performance of these different tasks or skills. Many of his earlier innovations—in such areas as to the psychiatry of decisionmaking, the projection of developmental constructs, and the specification of functional categories for describing social process—bear directly upon the improved performance of various particular tasks.
Lasswell's contributions to the policy sciences and to law have been made largely through his publications, including more than 30 books, some 250 articles and countless other papers, and through his influence upon particular individuals. As a teacher, he was occasionally a superb lecturer, but did not care for the large class and characterized the Socratic method, so dear to the contemporary law school, as "calculated mutual insult." His great gifts for teaching found their best expression in small seminar groups and in one-to-one consultations; in such situations he was without peer among the teachers whom I have known. His whole life was a life of the mind directed toward action. He had no time for trivia, but took a deep interest in all students or colleagues whose primary concern was for enlightenment and action in the common interest. For reasons beyond my comprehension, he once described collaboration with me as comparable to being stabled with a dragon; yet his patience was infinite, and it has (p. xl) been among the deepest satisfactions of my life that our association and friendship endured for forty-three years.
For some, Lasswell could be a rather reserved and aloof, even forbidding, figure. He could be sharp of tongue and was not easily flattered. For many, however, as for me, he was a warm, magnanimous, spontaneous, and delightful friend. He was fun to work with and fun to play with; his very presence created intellectual excitement. Almost by indirection he could assist friends better to understand themselves, others, and the larger configuration of events about them. He also had the ability to teach us both to aspire beyond our grasp and how to extend our grasp. For many of us his loss is not merely grievous; it is irreparable. Our best solace is, as one friend has put it, that we can be grateful for what was, without mourning for what might yet have been.
