Regina Elena on 17 May 1907, about four months before she was commissioned.
Regina Elena was the lead ship of her class built for the Italian Regia Marina (Royal Navy). The ship was built by the La Spezia shipyard between 1901 and 1907, and was armed with a main battery of two 12 in (300 mm) guns and twelve 8 in (200 mm) guns. She was quite fast for the period, with a top speed of nearly 21 knots (39 km/h; 24 mph). Regina Elena was active in both the Italo-Turkish War with the Ottoman Empire in 1911–1912, where she participated in the Italian conquest of Cyrenaica, and World War I in 1915–1918, where she saw no action due to the threat of submarines in the narrow confines of the Adriatic Sea. She was retained for a few years after the war, but was ultimately stricken in February 1923 and broken up for scrap.

Regina Elena was 144.6 meters (474 ft) long overall and had a beam of 22.4 m (73 ft) and a maximum draft of 8.58 m (28.1 ft). She displaced 13,807 long tons (14,029 t) at full combat load. Her propulsion system consisted of two vertical triple expansion engines. Steam for the engines was provided by twenty-eight coal-fired Belleville boilers. The ship's propulsion system provided a top speed of 20.8 knots (38.5 km/h; 23.9 mph) and a range of approximately 10,000 nautical miles (19,000 km; 12,000 mi) at 10 knots (19 km/h; 12 mph). Regina Elena had a crew of 742–764 officers and enlisted men.
As built, the ship was armed with two 12 in (300 mm) 40-caliber guns placed in two single gun turrets, one forward and one aft. The ship was also equipped with twelve 8 in (200 mm) 40-cal. guns in six twin turrets amidships. Close-range defense against torpedo boats was provided by a battery of sixteen 3 in (76 mm) 40-cal. guns. Regina Elena was also equipped with two 17.7 in (450 mm) torpedo tubes placed in the hull below the waterline. Regina Elena was protected with Krupp steel manufactured in Terni. The main belt was 9.8 in (250 mm) thick, and the deck was 1.5 in (38 mm) thick. The conning tower was protected by 10 in (250 mm) of armor plating. The main battery guns had 8 in (200 mm) thick plating, and the 8-inch gun turrets had 6 in (150 mm) thick sides.
On 29 September 1911, Italy declared war on the Ottoman Empire in order to seize Libya. For the duration of the conflict, Regina Elena was assigned to the 1st Division of the 1st Squadron along with her three sisters, under the command of Vice Admiral Augusto Aubry. She joined the squadron late, on 5 October. On 18 October, Regina Elena and her three sisters, along with three cruisers and several destroyers and torpedo boats escorted a convoy that carried half of the 2nd Infantry Division to Benghazi. When the Ottomans refused to surrender the city before the amphibious assault, the Italian fleet opened fire on the Turkish defenders at 08:00, while landing parties from the ships and the Army infantry went ashore. The Italians quickly forced the Ottomans to withdraw into the city by evening. After a short siege, the Ottoman forces withdrew on 29 October, leaving the city to the Italians.
By December, Regina Elena and the other ships of the 1st Squadron were dispersed in the ports of Cyrenaica. Regina Elena, Roma, and the armored cruiser San Marco were stationed in Benghazi, with Regina Elena recently arriving from Tobruk. While there, they supported the Italian Army as it occupied the city and surrounding area by contributing landing parties and providing fire support to the ground troops. The gunfire support supplied by Regina Elena contributed to the defeat of a major attack on the city by an Ottoman army on 14–15 December. In early 1912, most of the fleet had withdrawn to Italy for repairs and refit, leaving only a small force of cruisers and light craft to patrol the North African coast.
In March 1914, Regina Elena was involved in experiments with wireless telegraphy in Syracuse, Sicily. The tests were conducted by Guglielmo Marconi and were supervised by the Duke of the Abruzzi.
Regina Elena at Taranto in May 1915.
Italy declared neutrality after the outbreak of World War I in August 1914, but by July 1915, the Triple Entente had convinced the Italians to enter the war against the Central Powers. The primary naval opponent for the duration of the war was the Austro-Hungarian Navy; the Naval Chief of Staff, Admiral Paolo Thaon di Revel, believed the threat from submarines in the confined waters of the Adriatic was too serious to permit an active fleet policy. He therefore planned a distant blockade with the battle fleet, while smaller vessels, such as the MAS boats conducted raids. The heavy ships of the Italian fleet would be preserved for a potential major battle in the event that the Austro-Hungarian fleet should emerge from its bases. As a result, the ship's career during the war was limited. During the war, Regina Elena and her three sisters were assigned to the 2nd Division. They spent much of the war rotating between the bases at Taranto, Brindisi, and Valona, but did not see combat. On 14–15 May 1917, three light cruisers of the Austro-Hungarian Navy raided the Otranto Barrage; in the ensuring Battle of the Strait of Otranto, Regina Elena and her sisters raised steam to assist the Allied warships, but the Italian commander refused to permit them to join the battle for fear of risking their loss in the submarine-infested Adriatic.
Under the terms of the Washington Naval Treaty, Italy was permitted to retain Regina Elena and her three sisters. The Italian Navy could have kept the ships in service indefinitely, but they could not be replaced by new battleships under the normal practice of the Treaty system. Nevertheless, she was stricken from the naval register on 16 February 1923 and subsequently broken up for scrap.

Q: Showing a convex inequality for closed intervals Let $q:(a,b)\to \mathbb{R}$ be a convex function. In my notes we showed the following inequalities:
$$q(y)\geq q(x)+q'_+(x)(y-x)$$
$$q(y)\geq q(x)+q'_-(x)(y-x)$$
for all $x,y \in (a,b)$, where $q'_+$ and $q'_-$ denote the right and left derivatives respectively (they exist because of convexity).
Question: Suppose now $q:[a,b]\to \mathbb{R}$ is a convex function on a compact interval $[a,b]$. Can I find a function $f$ such that
$$q(y)\geq q(x)+f(x)(y-x)$$
for all $x,y \in [a,b]$?
Looking the proof, I believe the two inequalities still hold for $x\in (a,b)$ and $y\in[a,b]$, i.e. the same argument goes through. At $x=a$ we might have $q'_+(a)=-\infty$ however.

I've been on a bit of a minimalist kick lately. There's just something about cleaning out your closet that makes you evaluate every purchase you've made in the last calendar year.
I prefer to organize and deep clean first thing in the year. There's something about cold weather that makes me want to nest in my home (probably because it's too cold outside to go anywhere), it's after the holidays, and it just feels like a perfect time for reflecting.
As a bonus, Marie Kondo's tv show Tidying Up came out... so, I mean who wasn't ready to declutter, organize and spark joy?
I'm pretty happy that the Tidying Up TV show involves no shopping minus gathering a few small boxes for drawer organization. I'm even happier that after following up with a few of the families that participated, their homes have stayed TIDY!
This means they're not running out and filling up their new found space - which is great!
In the past, I have definitely gone shopping after decluttering and felt excited that I had space to store all of my new belongings.
I never intentionally went out to shop and fill space, but because I had space I often allowed myself to shop, does that make sense?
I feel a lot of people fall into this mindset. I don't think many people intentionally buy things they don't want or don't love. I think in the moment they think they want and love it, but only with time and space do they realize... they don't.
As a former shopaholic, I can tell you that's how it was for me. I tended to love things in the moment but never really thought about them practically.
In college, after I sold my books back to the book store, I'd take that money and spend it frivolously. I remember I bought a beautiful pair of heels that were 5" tall... do you know how practical it is to wear 5" heels without a platform? For me, it was not very practical. I wore them a few times, and that was it.
My instinct was to run to the store for anything and everything I needed, instead of sitting with that want or need and thinking about it. I didn't want to wait for a solution. I wanted to buy a solution RIGHT NOW which I think is an overall symptom of our society which relies a lot on instant gratification.
But, on top of all that, I didn't value things. Things were not something I respected. I viewed things as disposable, mostly because I was buying disposable goods. But, disposable is 100% a mindset, and it's not a very healthy one.
1. does it fit my ethics?
This one right off the bat will eliminate A LOT of things I don't need. I'm not saying every purchase I make is an ethical one, but I do try to make my purchases as ethical as possible.
And, if I need something so bad that I'm willing to sacrifice my ethics for it, then I KNOW it's something that I NEED.
The most common instance of this scenario is jeans. In most designers ethical ones or not, I have a small waist and an x-large rear. I'm pear shaped, and trying to find pants that fit both areas of my body is a real challenge.
I often resort to buying jeans that aren't the most ethical simply because they're what fits.
Before going shopping, try to determine your ethics. Ask yourself if the things you're about to purchase fit into those ethics.
Do you want things to be mostly plastic free?
What about ecological business practices?
2. would I be willing to pay full price?
Because I do try to opt for ethical purchases, this often means shopping second hand or on sale, because ethical purchases can be really expensive.
Before you go shopping, try to identify how much money it hurts for you to spend? $20, $50, $200? I don't know what your budget or spending habits are like but anything that costs $50 gives me serious pause. It makes me truly evaluate the item and whether or not I need it.
Have you ever uttered the phrase, "It's only X amount of dollars"?
If you have, then you probably know that phrase means you don't love it and you definitely DON'T need it.
So, the first question I ask myself before making a purchase is, "Would I pay full price for this item or would I pay my sacrificial price for this item?" Ask yourself whichever number is higher, and if the answer is no, don't buy it.
3. do I need it?
This one is tough because it can be difficult to sort through what we need, a true want, and a temporary want. We want to make sure that we're eliminating temporary wants because those are the ones that clutter our closets and drawers.
For more info on this topic be sure to check out my post Why I Wait 30 Days Before Making a Purchase all about setting a personal buy-ban for yourself.
You can pinpoint a true want and need if you give yourself enough space. If you're still thinking about something weeks or months later, then it's probably a true want or need.
4. is this for the person I am or the person I want to be?
Maybe you've waited 30 days or months, but still find yourself dreaming about that item. Is that a true want, probably. But, you also need to get real with yourself. Ask yourself the hard question. Is this item for the person I am or the person I want to be.
For instance, I love skirt suits. I LOVE them, but I don't go to the type of meetings necessary for wearing skirt suits and always feel very out of place when I do wear them. So, no matter how much I want them, I know they're for the person I want to be vs. the person I am.
In my mind, I'm also excellent at gardening and working out 4 times a week. In actuality, I am NONE of those things.
So, there's no need for me to go overboard on gardening supplies or to buy 15 pairs of leggings. Owning a few pairs for the few times I do manage to workout before doing laundry is perfect for me.
Speaking of which, check out these 7 eco-friendly activewear brands!
5. what is the end plan?
The last thing I ask myself is about my end plan. Somehow framing the product in it's full lifecycle beyond just, "I see it; I want it; I buy it.," helps to create a story and a plan for my purchase.
Is this an item worth passing down?
Is this an item I would repair or can be repaired?
Is this an item that can be recycled?
Is this an item that will be sent to the landfill?
Is this an item I could resell?
There's no judgment from me on what the answers may be, but sometime's it's helpful to give more context to a purchase.
Now, this isn't a question, but I hope that you'll wait for the perfect item. Sometimes, it's just about having enough patience for that perfect item you've been looking for to arrive. And when it does, you will be so filled with joy!
Have you asked yourself any of these questions while shopping? Are there any tips and tricks you have to reduce the amount you shop?


LOUISIANA - The 2018 Louisiana school reports cards are now out. You can view them now at louisianaschools.com.
The Louisiana Department of Education released the scores under its new rating system. State Superintendent John White says the system is more robust, making it harder to earn an A-rating.
White says the new system makes students more competitive. Under the new system, school ratings are based on how much progress students make over a year. Graduation rates and college credit also play a role.
White says those school who have received an "F" for two or more years will have to be more aggressive in its approach to better performance. He says if improvements are not seen then the state will have to intervene.
The following is a list of schools in Monroe/West Monroe area. The schools are split into high schools, middle schools, and elementary schools based on grade ranges. Schools with wider grade ranges may appear in more than one list. The highest ranked schools are listed first.

In today's racially charged climate, with criminal flash mobs an ever-increasing problem in many cities, the average urban shopping mall now qualifies as a "stupid place" to be.
In 2013 four Muslim fundamentalist terrorists attacked a shopping mall in Nairobi, Kenya, in a chilling foretaste of what could happen in any city in America at any time. I wrote about it that same day. I urge you to read the warning I gave then, and ask yourself the same questions I posed on that day. They're as relevant as ever they were.
Now Foreign Policy brings us an in-depth report on what happened that day in Nairobi, complete with many eye-witness and participant accounts. It's the next best thing to a security briefing on what you might confront any day now in an American shopping center. I have no faith whatsoever that our police and security forces could stop such a thing from at least getting started. I hope and trust they'd do rather better at shutting it down before it got out of hand: but if the attacking party is larger, or better-armed, or their assault is timed to coincide with mass street protests that draw too many cops away from the danger zone . . . who knows?
We already know that fundamentalist Islamic terrorists and/or their sympathizers are trying to infiltrate the United States. Some claim they've already done so. None of us know the facts . . . but I guaran-damn-tee you, they want to. Nairobi was a foreshadowing of what they'd like to do to the Great Satan, America itself. Go read the Foreign Policy article in full, and ask yourself: if something like that goes down tomorrow, in my town, and I'm there, what am I going to do about it? Am I prepared to deal with it? If not . . . why not?
It is a chilling scenario especially for people in states like mine without must issue concealed carry. Don't get me wrong, carrying isn't a panacea but its a chance at not being a victim.
C.F the idiots shot dead at the draw Mohammed contest in Arizona.
They were thinking "Another easy target like Paris" and ran into the cultural barrier. We deal in lead son.
I suppose that's morbid and tacky to say but the US has enough shootings by natives that its hard to get the same shock value from one.
Its why i think Islamic types haven't done it, its not certain to be a big success and between the risk and the media blackout, they won't get much momentum.
That said its always good to have a zombie plan besides "avoid the mall" which I usually do anyway.
Honestly I'm not sure that sort of attack is best staged during a protest or something where a large host of people are gathered. Surely such an event is the bigger target in itself; a bomb or two, or even a good amount of gasoline and a little sense... I suspect the best time for such an attack would be an event with a high cop:attendee ratio, like a bank robbery as a distraction.
I believe he meant a protest or rally staged by allies of the terrorists, providing cover and the possibility of a second attack location forcing the police to divert large amounts of resources from the response.
If an attack occurs while I'm in the mall, I plan to get the hell out of the main corridors, they'll be killing zones. Instead I'll head into the nearest store, go to the back, through the stockroom and out the delivery door. It's doubtful the bad guys will have the foresight or numbers to control the loading docks.
Honestly, I'm shocked that such an attack hasn't already happened. And I am relieved beyond words that we no longer live within spitting distance of the second-largest (soon to be #1 once the expansion project finishes next year) mall in the country. If they hit anywhere, I'll bet my life savings it'll be either Mall of America (which IIRC Stephen Hunter had the hajjis hit in one of his books) or King of Prussia.
Al_in_Ottawa, that's a good plan. Pretty much the same plan I came up with when I worked at The Supermarket in case of an active shooter. Nobody ever thinks about the storage rooms or loading docks.
Oh, that is a horrifying story. I agree, Peter, it's coming to the USA - and soon. The obvious targets will be places like San Francisco, where they've disarmed all the citizens. Try something like that here in Nebraska, and you would immediately learn how many of us are armed.
Too many are whistling in the dark, just as they did before the first Twin Tower attack. Then again before 9/11.
Sadly, I think most of us who read you understand this, and that you are preaching to the choir.
Those who need the message will never hear it.
Raptor, you're thinking of Soft Target. Now that I think of it Debt of Honor by Tom Clancy was published in '93 or so and ends with a 747 being flown into the Capitol Building, decapitating the government.
The people in charge decided "If we do that, enough of the Americans will be so pissed that they'll force their government to act. REALLY act."
I'm betting on the latter. So far.
I've been told, but can't verify, that the loading doors for the stores in The Great Mall in Milpitas CA, are locked normally, so they can't be used as emergency exits. Supposedly, the half-dozen or so regular entrances, plus a couple restaurants are considered to be sufficient access for "emergency" use.
The mall is built in the old Ford Auto Assembly Plant, so it's really big, but it's designed like an oval track, although they eventually put one cross corridor in during a later refurb. People complained about having to walk all the way around to access the other side of the mall. IIRC, it's supposed to be the biggest in the western states.
So, a half-dozen or so attackers, with chains for the exit doors, could pretty much lock down the whole mall. I'm guessing well over a thousand people, easily, judging by the parking lot.
The only plus side is that the police have a couple officers stationed there during peak use. But, they just walk around, looking to be in totally white condition normally. I wonder if they realize they would be the opening act, if the place got hit?
In one of the photos shown of that mall attack, you will see a pistolero wearing a "shoot me" vest. Look at the patch on the upper left. I'm pretty sure that's an IDPA logo. They were having a match near the mall, when a participating police/tactical officer got a call about the attack. A bunch of club shooters then proceeded to the mall, and cleared it from the top down, accessing it from that parking ramp. They showed up in a number of photos that I saw in a different AAR, that explained it in more detail.
Thought I had a link to it. I'll keep looking.
I opened that photo in another tab and enlarged it to read, Something, African Defensive Pistol Association.
Heard this tip a few years back. As soon as you walk into a mall, go to the map (there's usually one near all entrances) and take a photo with your phone so you can locate the exits if needed (not all stores have a rear exit). This kind of attack is why I started carrying a triangular bandage and flat fold duct tape on my person at all times. If I take a round, I will have immediate access to a compression bandage (of sorts) or an improvised TQ if needed.
all of this is a great example of why the 2nd A needs to be ENFORCED nationally and not restricted regionally with gun laws varying from state/state.
run like hell...and if that doesn't work, you've got options.

Florida loses defensive backs coach to Georgia weeks before National Signing Day
Image Credit: ESPN Images
With the end of the 2019 recruiting cycle approaching, the Florida Gators now have not one but two positions to fill on their coaching staff. Just days after defensive line coach Sal Sunseri decided to leave Florida in the dust for Alabama, defensive backs coach Charlton Warren is departing for chief rival Georgia.
Unlike Sunseri's departure, which likely includes a promotion and raise (including the potential to coach his position of choice), it is unknown why exactly Warren is moving from the Gators to the Bulldogs other than proximity to his hometown.
"Charlton is from Atlanta and has a wide range of experience coaching defensive football at several universities and conferences around the country," Georgia head coach Kirby Smart said in a release. "His entire coaching career has been on the defensive side of the ball and especially defensive backs. He has developed an outstanding record and reputation in the coaching profession and he'll bring great knowledge and energy to our staff."
Warren's departure was met with disdain from current Florida players and incoming prospects. Sophomore defensive backs Marco Wilson and Trey Dean both laughed, tweeting the same phrase: "Lol okay just don't coach the best corners in the country."
Particularly concerning about Warren's departure is that he was the primary recruiter for four-star DB Kaiir Elam (West Palm Beach, FL), the cousin of former Florida DB Matt Elam who is choosing between UF and UGA. The Bulldogs announced the hire of Warren while Elam, the No. 49 overall player in the class and expected get for Florida, was on campus for an official visit. As it presently stands, 76 percent of the 247Sports Crystal Ball has Elam predicted to the Gators; the two most recent predictions are for the Dawgs.
Warren, who will be coaching his third SEC East team in as many seasons, was set to enter the second season of a two-year, $600,000 contract with Florida that would have paid him $400,000 in 2019. The Gators now have two vacancies on the defensive side of their coaching staff with less than three weeks until National Signing Day.

Colotv1967 says:
Desperate Little Kirby Smart has stooped to a new low. Couldn't get the player(s) without hiring away the chief recruiting coach. YeH Kirby.
There is no loyalty in sports people but it is most certainly refreshing when you find someone with that characteristic in sports that is. Coaches come and go as is their right in America to the pursuit of happiness. Best wishes to Coach Warren and like every Gator fan I hope the players he is leaving will be even more motivated to make his debut as the opposition an unforgettable one for Gator fans. This was very calculated and tactical by the group in Athens which tells me UF has their attention as an outfit they see coming for the top spot in the East. The gap is closing and we will soon see how much more so in the near future. Recruiting is based on relationships by the coaches recruiting the kids however, it is more beneficial to choose a school that you want to play for with whom you have the trust and belief in the administration to put the people around you to be successful. Those who don't will most likely always get disappointed by individuals that place their own agenda above all other things. Don't ever hate kids for not showing loyalty when they transfer for the same pursuits because it's the coaches that have demonstrated it's a business in their actions like this.
Alan Tillman says:
I could be wrong in my assessment, but it seems to smack of impropriety, these sudden moves to 'Bama and Georgia respectively. At first I was mildly upset concerning the timing of their switch to rival schools, but I believe the better alternative is to take the high road and wish them both success wherever they land. Florida will hire two outstanding assistants to fill the vacancies. Warren's move is a demotion in my book, considering Florida is widely known as "D.B.U.". His move is more curious of the two, but I expect whoever fills this vacancy will continue the tradition of Florida's defensive backfield being arguably the premier position coach in all of college football. The move will not bring Georgia's defensive backfield on par with Florida at the position. Even though I believe it to be a senseless (even dumb) move, all I can say is "Good luck". BTW, I will not be surprised to see Elam become a Gator, despite all that's happened the last couple of days.
Michael Jones says:
I am typically all for people taking advantage of opportunities. I wish them the best and move on. But the timing of this move is pretty BS. I have to imagine he has burned some bridges.
South Bleachers says:
Assistants move around. This has been happening since forever. These guys get shown the door ALL THE TIME. If Warren feels moving to UGA is better for HIM, so be it. This whole thing is much ado about NOTHING. (Nobody will even remmeber his name in a year)
Stan Pierce says:
Let's have Florida defensive backfield beat Ga stan last game of the season. Gators pass them silly.

Celebrities enjoy the Daytona 500

Gronk visits the Daytona 500
DAYTONA BEACH — Celebrities, athletes and drivers strutted down a red carpet before Sunday's 59th annual Daytona 500 to sign autographs and engage with fans.
Whether it was New York Jets wide receiver Brandon Marshall or actor Keanu Reeves, fans were able to ask various celebrities for autographs and why they're excited to be at the Great American Race.
Along with Marshall and Reeves, other notable guests were actor Larry the Cable Guy, New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski, rapper Waka Flocka Flame and former "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" host Ty Pennington.
The red carpet was lined alongside a tent that housed the driver's meeting before the race. Fans and media were able to interact with the celebrities to ask them questions about their prior experiences with NASCAR.
The entire fan experience included access to the infield and the finish line itself. As is tradition, onlookers of the Daytona 500 use sharpies to sign their names on the checkered line that begins and ends the 200-lap journey.
Along with the exclusive fan access, the pre-race festivities included food trucks, music and an inside look at the garages of each of the 40 drivers.

Spars and Tomlinson
Singer Jordin Sparks and former NFL player LaDainian Tomlinson played key roles, with Sparks singing the National Anthem and Tomlinson serving as an honorary starter.
Sparks, who competed on and won "American Idol" in 2007, also performed the National Anthem at Super Bowl XLII. But for Sunday's race, she also had to make sure that she matched with the USAF Thunderbirds flyover.
"When I sing that big note at the end, you know, you want them to be flying over right on time," she said. "There's always a little bit more pressure when it's live."
Tomlinson, a former NFL MVP and part of the Pro Football Hall of Fame 2017 class, was excited to be the honorary starter and got some important advice before the race.
"Having that flag, Jimmie Johnson told me 'just don't drop it,'" he said. "I wasn't a guy that fumbled a lot so I'm not really worried."
Super Mario returns
Former Daytona 500 champion Mario Andretti was back at the track where he won 50 years ago.
"I'm looking for a ride," he joked.
Andretti says times have changed from when he took laps around the Daytona International Speedway. "Driving was different," he said. "Now you're just [accelerator] down to the floor."
Andretti said his car was very loose during the 1967 race, and some suggested that drivers were afraid to pass him — allowing him to stay at the front of the pack. But there was a reason for that.
"I had to [race up front] because that's where the car felt the most comfortable," he said.
Time to rehearse
Owen Wilson, grand marshal for the race, had the responsibility of commanding the drivers to start the Daytona 500. Though, before the race it looked like he might need a little more practice.
"It shouldn't be too tricky," he said Sunday morning. "It's just 'Racers, start you engines,' right?" he said.
Well, not exactly. It's "drivers, start you engines," a NASCAR official corrected.
"I'm just going to try to put some bass into it and hope for the best," he said. And he did, also using the right command to get the race going.

His "Wedding Crashers" co-star Vince Vaughn, who was the Daytona 500 grand marshal in 2015, gave Wilson some pre-reace advice.
"He actually sent me a text the other day and his big tip was not to watch his YouTube clip of him doing it because why see perfection?" Wilson said.
As for who is his favorite driver, Wilson — who stars in the upcoming "Cars 3" Disney-Pixar movie, picked a colorful racer who wasn't on the track Sunday.
"Lightning McQueen would be my favorite, because I am contractually obligated to say that," Wilson said.

The underground relics of Samen were discovered accidentally during a construction project 1384 (2005). This Complex has been founded on a granite bed by hand and is completely under the streets, houses, and official buildings.
There have been great achievements during an eight-workshop research project. The complex includes more than 50 small and large rooms which are linked by many aisles.
These rooms have been built at a depth ranging between 3 to 6 meters. The rooms and spaces of all workshops are linked together and lead to the surface through carved stairways.
One of the features of this Complex is the existence of a lot of human skeletons buried in the floor. This shows that the complex has been used for a long period of time as a special place for burials.
In Ashkani Period, in order to prevent the four sacred elements (water, wind, soil, and fire) from being contaminated, burials were done using clay and stone coffins, away from direct contact with the four elements.
Archeological investigations show 3 phases of settlement and use of this complex. The first phase, referring to the philosophy of the foundation of the complex, indicates some kind of religious use the ...see more complex.
The second phases, which is related to Ashkani Period, shows that the complex has been used as a cemetery. In later phases, the complex has been used as a shelter during emergencies.
The alternative use of the complex for various functions has been documented from early Islamic period up to Ghajar period. A significant characteristic of Samen Complex is the existence of human skeletons and the granite bed of the complex which indicate the necessity of sophisticated tools and technology to create such a large complex.
This Complex was registered in the national heritage list 27th of Farvardin (the beginning) of 1387 (2008) with 24622 as the reference number.

Your Comment About Underground City of Samen


New feature: Put your website to the test with one-click URL upload.
New features. To provide a significantly smoother experience when working with test participants, we would like to introduce a new and better way of managing your existing database of user testers.
Our new test panel has undergone a complete makeover and got functionality updates, that enables a much more seamless and highly effective way of building and managing your test panels. In fact, we aim to provide a full-scale solution for managing testers in a CRM based way, so that Preely test panel will act as a point-departure for all user research related activities.
A high priority of Preely is to enable all user researchers to easily and effectively manage their test panels. Additionally, we have solved how these panels are quickly accessible for continuously and repetitive testing.
Instead of recruiting new testers for every test, you can store them in your Preely test panel, and use our new filter- and tagging tool to keep them relevant for future tests. This will keep your acquisition cost and time of recruiting new testers to a minimum, and it will ensure you always have people willing to test for you.
As the main new feature, we have created a tagging and filtering function, that allows you to import and tag testers with custom tags. This means, that when you recruit new testers, you simply provide them with tags that you create on the basis of your requirements.
By adding one or multiple tags to different testers, you create clusters of testers to meet your highly specific requirements by combining tags into groups.
Today, spreadsheets are still widely used to collect and manage data on test participants, however, this is not only unhandy it also very complex to ensure compliance with data protection regulations.
With our new import and export function, Preely will act as a point of departure for all types of user research. After creating relevant groups with our tagging tool, you can easily export these groups to be used in your e-mailing- or CRM systems, for think-aloud tests, and surveys.

H.O.T.S. (1979)
"I promise to do everything within my power, using all my abilities, talents and assets, to win every man on campus away from Pi Sorority, so help me H.O.T.S.!"
- The H.O.T.S. Girls
Review By: Dale Dobson
Stars: Susan Kiger, Lisa London, Pamela Jean Bryant, Kimberley Cameron
Other Stars: Danny Bonaduce
Director: Gerald Seth Sindell
Manufacturer: Complete Post
MPAA Rating: R for nudity, sexual situations, language
C+ C B+ C D-
H.O.T.S. is a 1979 comedy whose enduring appeal can perhaps best be summed up by a two-word phrase coined (if memory serves) by Francois Truffaut in the pages of Cahiers du Cinema circa 1952: STRIP FOOTBALL. If ever a concept was designed to appeal to adolescent male moviegoers of all ages, this is it—it's got football AND nudity! A raunchy cable staple in the early 1980's, it still shows up on late-night TV, but most people have never seen it in its original widescreen format.
In an era when almost every R-rated comedy concerned a bunch of guys trying to lose their virginity, H.O.T.S. (a.k.a. T & A Academy) borrowed heavily from Animal House to produce this story of a rebel pseudo-sorority at Fairenville University (cue the obvious jokes). This film (from a script by Joan Buchanan and Cheri Caffaro) leaves Blazing Stewardesses, The Pom-Pom Girls and The Swinging Cheerleaders in its dust by truly emphasizing the women's roles. Not that H.O.T.S. doesn't require its female leads to get naked—they do so frequently and for extended periods, but the women are the drivers of this particular story, staging "jock strap raids" and otherwise taking charge. There are boyfriends around, but they function primarily as moral support in this story of an all-out war between the H.O.T.S. girls and their snooty Pi Sorority rivals. The girls leverage their considerable physical assets to achieve their goals, seducing men and upstaging their opponents—they're exploiting themselves, which lends an oddly empowering flavor to a film that's otherwise pretty much what one would expect.
H.O.T.S. is no masterpiece—even the best gags only raise mild chuckles, and there's a lot of filler, like the subplot about two ex-cons trying to recover a bank robbery stash hidden in the formerly-abandoned H.O.T.S. house. The meaning of the H.O.T.S. acronym isn't revealed until the end of the film—some guesses are made along the way ("Hands Off Those Suckers!"), but the ultimate revelation is nothing special. None of the characters are very thoroughly developed (the movie really has no "central" characters) and the film plays like a sequence of disconnected college-prank gags, most of which involve the removal of clothing. Danny Bonaduce (of The Partridge Family) turns up as one of the guys—he hosts the obligatory Wet T-shirt contest and ends up in bed with Slinky, the H.O.T.S. seal mascot. The young cast members can't really act but seem to be having fun, and the older character actors do their best with run-of-the-mill bumbling "comic relief" roles. Gerald Seth Sindell's direction is technically competent, with decent shot composition and some very attractive lighting, but there's only so much he can do with this material.
Still, H.O.T.S. has survived while many of its contemporaries have vanished from pop-culture consciousness because of that furshlugginer climactic Strip Football game. The worm's-eye-view shots of attractive, topless women in a huddle provide imagery most people will not soon forget. And from a contemporary perspective, H.O.T.S. is refreshing in its way—it's neither Zalman King softcore porn nor cable-ready Bikini Car Wash/Bistro/Chiropractor/Mortuary "comedy." It's one of the last of the drive-in "nudie-cuties," simple and unsophisticated, and it deserves digital preservation as a prime example of its genre if for no other reason.
Rating for Style: C+
Rating for Substance: C
Image Transfer Review: Anchor Bay presents H.O.T.S. in its original 1.85:1 theatrical aspect ratio with a fine anamorphic transfer. Light grain is visible in a few shots with heavier grain in the opening sequence (apparently due to the optical titling process), but the source print is very clean and the digital transfer is solid with good color and detail and no distracting compression artifacts. Obviously, this is a low-budget, twenty-year-old film, but most people have never seen it the way it was meant to be seen, and I can't imagine it looking better than it does on this DVD.
Image Transfer Grade: B+
Mono English no
Audio Transfer Review: H.O.T.S. features its original monophonic soundtrack, presented in true Dolby Digital 1.0, but the audio hasn't aged well. There's some echo in a few interior dialogue scenes, almost NO bass at all, a "pop" or two and a general tinniness and muddiness in most of the sound, with a narrow, warbly frequency range. Anchor Bay does a competent job of preserving the audio "as is" with minimal hiss—it's a solid transfer of a dated, below-average source.
Audio Transfer Grade: C
Static menu with music
1 Original Trailer(s)
Packaging: Alpha
Extras Review: Not much to report here, unfortunately—just the original H.O.T.S. theatrical trailer in all its bombastic, exploitative glory, rendered in 1.85:1 with a solid anamorphic transfer, though it's quite a bit grainier than the feature. Anchor Bay provides no other clues to the film's origins or context; move along, folks, there's nothing here to see.
Extras Grade: D-
H.O.T.S. is what it is—a lewd, nude late-70's campus comedy with an uncanny ability to stick to the retinas. It has never looked better than it does on Anchor Bay's DVD, and anyone with dim adolescent memories of Pan & Scan VHS/cable or heavily-edited TV versions will want to check out this uncropped, uncut edition. The uninitiated need not apply.

Cloning, sequencing, and analysis of expression of a second IL-1 beta gene in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)
O Pleguezuelos, J Zou, C Cunningham, C J Secombes
The full-length sequence of a second IL-1 beta gene (IL-1 beta 2) in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) has been obtained. As with the first IL-1 beta gene, IL-1 beta 2 is organized into six exons/five introns. There are only small differences in their intron/exon sizes, with the exception of intron 3, which is 334 bp smaller in IL-1 beta 2. The transcript encoded by the IL-1 beta 2 gene contains a 5' untranslated region (UTR) of 121 bp, followed by a 762-bp open reading frame and a 518-bp 3'UTR. The 3'UTR contains seven instability attta motifs, typical of inflammatory genes, and a polyadenylation site II bp upstream of a 17-bp poly(A) tail. The predicted 254 amino acid sequence of the second IL-1 beta gene has 82% similarity to the first gene, 45% similarity to carp IL-1 beta, and 40% similarity to human IL-1 beta. Comparison of the two trout genes reveals that the IL-1 beta 2 gene has a deletion of 9 bases in exon 3 and an altered splicing site at the 5' end of exon 4 giving rise to a further 9-bp deletion in the resulting cDNA. As with other nonmammalian IL-1 beta genes, no interleukin-converting enzyme (ICE) cut site has been found but the alignment of the amino acid sequence with Other species shows a possible cut site between Arg(89) and Ala(90) that would give arise to a 165-amino acid mature peptide. Expression studies performed by RT-PCR using primers specific for the IL-1 beta 2 transcript revealed a clear dose-dependent induction of this gene in cultured trout leukocytes by stimulation with lipopolysaccharide.

2 hours ago - LONGi Plans to Invest Another 8 Billion Yuan to Build a 15GW Solar Cell Project -
TÜV Rheinland Awards LONGi's Product Centre Module Laboratory TMP Accreditation
July 17, 2020 by Benjamin	in News
PVTIME - TÜV Rheinland, the world leading third-party testing and certification organization, has awarded LONGi's Product Centre Module Laboratory TMP accreditation, confirming its compliance with IEC 61215 and IEC 61730 international standards.
TMP is a certification allowing a manufacturer's own laboratory resources to test products produced by the company itself, in accordance with the requirements of the certification standard. Using this method of testing avoids the cumbersome process of sending samples, especially for products that are bulky, difficult to transport and which have strict testing time requirements.
Dr. Lv Jun, Vice President of LONGi Solar, said: "The acquisition of TÜV Rheinland's TMP laboratory accreditation is recognition of the testing ability and management level of LONGi's R&D laboratory. As an industry-leading manufacturer of photovoltaic products, LONGi insists on adhering to the route of technological innovation, continuing to increase investment in R&D and creating high-performance products to maximize customer value. We hope to further strengthen our cooperation with TÜV Rheinland and continue to meet customer needs with high-quality products and services."
"LONGi has made remarkable achievements through innovation to promote industrial upgrade. As a third-party testing and certification organization, TÜV Rheinland has always maintained a cooperative relationship with LONGi on many levels. This time we conducted a comprehensive and rigorous review of the management system, environment, personnel and equipment qualification of LONGi's Product Centre Module Laboratory to confirm that it meets our requirements for external laboratory management standards. The acquisition of the TÜV Rheinland TMP laboratory accreditation proves that LONGi has reached a very high level in quality control and has become one of the industry's leading manufacturing enterprises. We look forward to further strengthening technical exchanges with LONGi and will, as always, help the company to ensure good product quality and jointly promote the healthy development of the photovoltaic industry," said Zou Chicheng, Vice President of TÜV Rheinland, Greater China.

can anyone tell me what's wrong with it? i've been spending hours to solve it but i haven't find a way


Montreal, Canada, 14-01-2014 - Working from high contrast and simple natural materials, the firm la SHED architecture have designed a unique optometrist and optician clinic redefining the customer's experience. The commercial space was designed as an atelier-boutique, characterized by low display tables in the open area, avoiding any visual obstruction. Looking for frames becomes the opportunity of a friendly exchange, underneath the bright ceiling, composed of wooden slats installed randomly.
With the goal of giving their enterprise a breath of fresh air, the associates of L'Aire Visuelle sought to create a new corporate image based on the state-of-the-art products and techniques that they offer, as well as the quality and expertise of the services they provide. The first objective was to redefine customer experience in the clinic. Their previous office became too narrow over time as a result of company expansion; the client therefore required an organized, spacious and open space where emphasis was placed on the sales area and their selection of eyeglass frames.
Creating a hierarchy of movements between patients and employees was an essential part of optimizing displacements and creating a functional environment.
The project mandate consisted of planning and developing an optometry clinic and its eyeglass store at the ground level of an existing two floor commercial building. With windows on three facades, the 3060 square foot office accessible from a common hall had an irregular shape – a portion of which had a misaligned angle in relation to the main structural frame. A space with double the height opening onto the second floor dental clinic offered an abundant amount of natural light. The client's budget was limited to a maximum of 450 000$ for the entirety of project work involved including mechanical work, furniture and professional fees.
The space was designed in such a way to position the sales area at the front of the building, in the section that contained the most windows and was closest to the entrance. People walking into the clinic could therefore instantly see all available products. Visible from the reception, the waiting area was placed beneath the office's area of double height and is apart from the consultation rooms while being open to the sales area. The two main axis of circulation are on either side of the reception area – one being meant for clients heading for consultation and examination rooms, and the other for clinic personnel heading to the employee common room, apart from the client zone. The design hierarchy was therefore established, with busier areas at the front near the entrance, and areas requiring quiet and privacy located at the rear of the office.
The concept, geared towards the creation of a workshop-boutique, opted for presentation tables in order to keep the display area clear of all obstacles limiting vision or obstructing lighting. As a result, the eyeglass frame shopping area turns into a far more friendly area, where artificial light is articulated within a randomly organized ceiling of lath wood. The ceiling, by its dynamic and rhythmic design, creates an illusion of movement within the adjacent space. In the spirit of architectural continuity, a wall of vertical lattice creates a space for attaching eyeglass frame presentation modules while enveloping the sales area. The long and narrow ceramic tile flooring is a harmonious continuation of the lath wood ceiling, therefore completing the envelopment of the sales area.
The immaculate white band that is the showroom is a start contrast to the wooden monolithic cube immediately adjacent to it, covering the private consultation areas. Behind the sales floor, a black satin volume containing the exam rooms seems to have slipped under the ceiling lath, creating an attractive backdrop to the reception area. Detached from adjacent surfaces by recessed lighting, this volume, fragmented by full height openings, seems to float gingerly between the floor and ceiling. The highly contrasted colors provide the area with a theatrical character featuring the eyeglass showroom with its bright white presentation modules, whereas the mechanical and unaesthetic elements of the open ceiling disappear in black. A sober, neutral and classical color palette ensures a total coherence between different elements of the clinic.
A black carpet covers the floor in circulation and consultation areas, absorbing sound and light emitted by the sales area. Fluorescent tubes randomly built into the lattice ceiling frame animate the sales area by producing bright and stimulating lighting in stark contrast to the other more private spaces. Black cylindrical tubes hidden throughout the mechanics and structure provide rich and soft lighting in the circulation, waiting and consultation areas as opposed to the abundant lighting of the showroom.
The contrast of porosity, colors and textures within the project elegantly reflect the different character of each space, and contribute to a simple and clear understanding of the planning of the office. Refined finishing details such as doors with hidden frames, and recessed plinths contribute to the clean appearance of the various spaces, underscoring the strong architectural ideas implemented to make L'Aire Visuelle a contemporary and elegant optometry clinic.

De Kock smashes ton as South Africa clinch ODI series win
Quinton de Kock's swashbuckling century inspired South Africa to beat Sri Lanka by 71 runs under the Duckworth-Lewis system at Kingsmead yesterday to secure a winning 3-0 lead in their five-match one-day international series.
After South Africa had been put into bat, De Kock smashed 121 off 108 balls at the top of the innings - his 14th ODI hundred - as they went on to make 331/5 off their 50 overs.
Sri Lanka, set a revised target of 193 after a rain delay, fell a long way short, managing to score only 121/5 off 24 overs in reply.
Sri Lanka had already been falling behind the required over rate at 75/2 off 16 overs when a rain storm took the players off for a two-hour break, after which the visitor were set a Herculean target of 118 runs off just eight overs to win.
Kusal Mendis was caught and bowled by Imran Tahir for 41 just as Sri Lanka looked set to take on the challenge but despite the best efforts of Thisara Perera, who swung at every ball, the tourist were always fighting a losing cause.
De Kock had earlier announced his intent with a four off the first ball of the game and kept up the attack before eventually getting to three figure off 89 balls, having fallen just short in the last ODI in Pretoria Wednesday when he scored 94.
Rassie van der Dussen added 50 and a cameo from Andile Phehlukwayo, who hit 38 off 15 at the end of the innings, ensured South Africa went past 300 as they continued their World Cup preparation with some aplomb.
Sri Lanka lost key batsman Kusal Perera early on in the game when he looked to have hurt his hamstring in the field and was taken to hospital for scans.
Officials said he would not have been able to bat had he been needed but it is unsure how serious the injury is.
South Africa and Sri Lanka will play the fourth match of the series in Port Elizabeth Wednesday.

Warning Security Mali
Presidential elections will take place on Sunday, July 29. Polling stations are scheduled to be open from 08:00 to 20:00 (local time). A total of 24 candidates will take part in the race, although incumbent President Ibrahim Boubacar Keita (in office since 2013) and opposition leader Soumaïla Cissé are the two main contenders. Security measures have been heightened across the country, with over 30,000 officers mobilized to "secure candidates on the ground and voting operations" amid concerns over possible terrorist attacks. Over 80 election observers from the EU have been deployed to the country.
There is a risk of civil unrest breaking out in the capital Bamako as well as in other major cities throughout the country on election day and in subsequent days. Tensions are growing over fears of electoral fraud due to suspected discrepancies on voter lists.
The first results are expected to be released within 48 hours following the first round, and official provisional results on August 3. If necessary, a second round of voting will be held on August 12.
Many of the security concerns are due to the presence of armed extremist groups, notably in Mali's northern and central regions. These areas remain unstable despite the presence of MINUSMA, one of the largest UN peacekeeping missions in the world, and a French-led intervention launched in 2013 that drove many extremists from their strongholds.
Individuals in Mali are advised to monitor the situation and avoid all political events and large public gatherings due to significant security concerns (e.g. unrest, risk of terrorist attack).
The security environment in Mali remains complex, particularly in the north and central regions. Professional security advice and support should be sought prior to travel.
