Congresswoman Chellie Pingree (D-Maine) announced today that Baxter Academy senior Elwen Bernard has won the 2021 Congressional Art Competition for Maine's 1st District. Her illustration Passport Photo will be on display in the U.S. Capitol for one year.
"Every year, the sheer talent of Maine student artists blows me away, and this year's Congressional Art Competition was no exception. Art offers us a great outlet through tough times. I'm thrilled to see that students are still connected with their artistic processes after a year of unknowns and immense change," said Pingree. "Elwen's piece is poignant and stunning, and I'm sure that it will stand out when it's on display at the Capitol. My thanks to all the students who participated this year—it is an honor to view your work."
Competition juror Juliet Karelsen said, "In Elwen Bernard's highly skilled and sensitive portrait "Passport Photo," we encounter a real person whose strength, warmth, honesty, vulnerability and soul come through the finely layered and textured colored pencil markings. In a format (a passport photo) where the subject so often appears guarded, wearing a "say cheese!" smile or as a one dimensional version of the self, Elwen's complex portrait challenges this norm and exudes incredible depth."
"It was such an honor to look closely at the students' accomplished work and I was impressed by the level of engagement. To make art in the face of such a challenging and painful year is a radical act. It is my hope that these students have found some peace and a sense of purpose while making art during this difficult year," added juror Breehan James. "A special congratulations to Elwen Bernard whose piece "Passport Photo" has taken First place. The highly skilled portrait drawing is felt. Wonderfully sensitive in touch, it exudes an inner life and an unassuming presence. It speaks loudly in its quiet expressiveness and subtly."
The judges also recognized the works of five other 1st District students:
Headspace by Fiona Jason of Baxter Academy (Second)
Don and Gunner by Katilyn Sawicki of Freeport High School (Third)
In a Fog by Della Hutley of Baxter Academy (Honorable Mention)
I Can't Breathe by Alexis Milem of Thornton Academy (Honorable Mention)
Climate Change: How Much Longer Can We Hang On To Our Burning Home by Kaylee Demers of Falmouth High School (Honorable Mention)
About the Congressional Art Competition:
Held each year, the Congressional Art Competition takes place in participating Congressional Districts across the country. One winning work from each District hangs in a special exhibit at the U.S. Capitol for a year. This year, a jury put together by the Maine Arts Commission and Maine College of Art selected Maine winners from the top finishers in the regional Scholastic Art Competition.
Pingree has served as Chair of the House Interior Appropriations Subcommittee since January 2021, where she oversees funding for the National Endowment for the Arts and other cultural agencies. She serves as co-chair of the Congressional Arts Caucus.

Essential role of the microglial triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells-2 (TREM2) for central nervous tissue immune homeostasis.
While there is a strong evidence for neural tissue destruction mediated by adaptive autoimmune responses, it is still debated how innate immune responses contribute to neuroinflammatory and neurodegenerative diseases such as multiple sclerosis and Alzheimer's disease. Recently, it was shown that loss-of-function mutations of the innate microglial immune receptor triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells-2 (TREM2) led to a chronic neurodegenerative disease, named Nasu-Hakola disease or polycystic lipomembranous osteodysplasia with sclerosing leukoencephalopathy (PLOSL). PLOSL is a recessively inherited disease characterized by early onset adult dementia associated with bone cysts. Since microglial cells are the major TREM2-producing cell type in the central nervous system (CNS), they appear to be plausible candidates for the neurodegenerative pathogenesis of PLOSL. Indeed, TREM2 of microglia fulfils important function of tissue debris clearance and resolution of latent inflammatory reactions. Absence of TREM2 expression on microglia impairs their capacity to phagocytose cell membrane debris and increases their gene transcription of pro-inflammatory cytokines. The disease PLOSL and the finding that TREM2 of microglia is required for tissue debris clearance provide prototypic molecular evidence that dysfunctional innate immunity can be disease causative leading to a chronic neurodegenerative process.

Tiffany Haddish Suffers From PTSD After Watching Her 'Friends Being Killed by the Police'
Jacklyn Krol Updated: June 14, 2020

Tiffany Haddish revealed that she suffers from PTSD after watching her friends get killed by police.
The 40-year-old comedian spoke with CNN during a Black Lives Matter protest in Los Angeles on Saturday (June 13).
The Like A Boss actress said that she personally can't drive through Beverly Hills without getting pulled over by police. "And I got a Tesla," she added.
Haddish spoke about her personal experiences with racism and the police. "There's certain people in my family if they walk out the door, they might not come back," she told the outlet.
"I try to laugh and figure out a way to make it funny... It's really hard," she admitted. "I got PTSD watching my friends being killed by the police."
Following the murder of George Floyd, Haddish has spoken out on numerous talk shows and social media about racial injustice.
"It's scary, you shouldn't be scared to be in America," she said. "It's supposed to be the land of the free, the home of the brave and you're supposed to be able to have a pursuit of happiness. We're just trying to pursue that you don't get killed today."
However, Haddish said that she "definitely" sees a transition among people concerning racism and police brutality.
"People are waking up... people can see now and people's hearts are opening up," she concluded.

Q: Relation between Poisson Distribution and Process? I think I'm confused by the fact that they have similar names and both involve i.i.d. exponential RVs. From what I understand,
Poisson distribution: the probability of a particular number of events in a fixed interval. And the inter-arrival times are i.i.d. exponential RVs?
Poisson process: is a sequence of events such that their arrival times are i.i.d. exponential RVs.
So, what's the difference between these? Is there any relation between the two? If someone could give me a bit of a dumbed down intuitive understanding that would probably go a lot farther for me than a very technical treatment. Any help is appreciated, thanks.

A: There most certainly is a relation between the two!
In general, a stochastic process is simply an indexed collection of random variables defined on a probability space $(\Omega, \mathcal F,\mathbb P)$, e.g. $N=\{N(t):t\in I\}$ for some index set $I$. A Poisson process is one of the most well-known examples of an arrival process, which satisfies the following properties (with probability $1$, or "almost surely"):

*

*$N(0) = 0$

*If $s<t$, then $N(s)\leqslant N(t)$.

*The map $t\mapsto N(t)$ is right-continuous.

*If $\lim_{t\to t_0^-} N(t)<N(t_0)$, then $N(t_0)=N(t)+1$.

The fourth condition describes what are called jumps, that is, the random times at which arrivals occur. If we set $T_0=0$ and
$$T_{n+1} = \inf\{t>T_n : N(t)>N(T_n)\} $$
for $n=0,1,2,\ldots$ then $T_n$ are the arrival times of the process $N(t)$. The times between arrivals $T_{n+1}-T_n$ are called interarrival times. A Poisson process is an arrival process which also satisfies the following conditions:

*For any $s,t\geqslant 0$ and $0\leqslant u_1<\cdots<u_n\leqslant t$, $N(t+s)-N(t)$ is independent of $\{N(u_1), N(u_2),\ldots, N(u_n)\}$.

*For any $s,t\geqslant 0$, $N(s+t)-N(t)$ is independent of $t$.

These are referred to as independent increments and stationary increments, respectively. From these conditions (and assuming that $N(t)$ is not identically zero) it can be shown that there exists $\lambda>0$ such that $\mathbb P(N(t)=k) = \frac{e^{-\lambda t}(\lambda t)^k}{k!}$ for all $t>0$, $k=0,1,2,\ldots$ (for brevity, I will omit the argument, which can be found in any text on stochastic processes). This $\lambda$ is the rate or intensity of the Poisson process.
From there, we can see that for $s,t> 0$ and $k=0,1,2,\ldots$,
$$\mathbb P(N(s+t)-N(t)=k) = \frac{e^{-\lambda s}(\lambda s)^k}{k!}, $$
that is, the distribution of arrivals in a time interval of length $s$ follows a Poisson distribution with rate $\lambda s$. To derive the interarrival distribution, note that for for any $n\geqslant 0$ and $t>0$,
$$\mathbb P(T_{n+1}-T_n>t) = \mathbb P(T_1>t) $$
due to stationary increments, and
$$\mathbb P(T_1>t) = \mathbb P(N(t) = 0) = e^{-\lambda t}, $$
hence the time between arrivals is exponentially distributed with rate $\lambda$.

A: A random process is, unlike a probability distribution $[1]$, a family of random variables $\{X(t),\: t \in T\}$ defined on a given probability space, indexed by the parameter $t$, where $t$ varies over an index set $T$.
A random process is said to be a counting process if $X(t)$ represents the total number of events that have occurred in the interval $(0,t)$.
A counting process is said to be a Poisson process with rate $\lambda$ if

*

*$X(0) = 0$.

*$X(t)$ has independent increments.

*The number of events in any interval of length $t$ is Poisson distributed $[2]$ with mean $\lambda t$; that is, for all $s, t > 0$,
$$P[X(t+s)-X(s) = n] = e^{-\lambda t}\frac{(\lambda t)^n}{n!},\:\:\: n = 0,1,2...$$

"So, what's the difference between these?" $[1]$
"Is there any relation between the two?" $[2]$

Tell It To The Bees ★★
by David Mouriquand
Fiona Shaw's 2009 novel, which centres on a forbidden romance in 1950s rural Scotland, is given a heartfelt but pedestrian onscreen adaptation. Interesting elements regarding toxic masculinity, sclerosed social mores and prejudice that festers from gossip are touched upon but are never convincingly developed, and the film never strikes a satisfying balance between post-war harshness and some late-in-the-day magical realism. This leads to a very clunky sequence that nearly sinks the entire film, given that the lyrical content wasn't woven into the fabric of the story beforehand.
Both Holliday Grainger and Anna Paquin give it their best as, respectively, the young mother who is evicted and moves into the house of the town doctor, who has returned to take over her father's practice. Sadly, both performers are saddled with an all-too-familiar story, one that pales in comparison to superior films featuring sexual awakening or a lesbian romance at their narrative heart, such as Celine Sciamma's upcoming Portrait of a Lady on Fire or Abdellatif Kechiche's Blue Is The Warmest Colour before it.
Tell It To The Bees | Directed by Annabel Jankel (UK, 2019), with Holliday Grainger, Anna Paquin, Gregor Selkirk. Starts Sep5.

Nothing says freedom like the open road. It's tempting to just get in the car and drive, exploring the country in all its beauty and diversity. Unfortunately, nothing in life is quite that simple. While you can certainly pick up and leave on a moment's notice, sometimes that hastiness leads to wasted time and money. A small amount of preparation before you leave and while you're on the road will help you avoid some major road trip pitfalls.
Letting the wind carry you where it will opens opportunities for unexpected adventures, but some of those adventures might not be all that pleasant. Instead, research points of interest on your intended route so you don't miss them. You can use apps such as RoadTrippers and Roadside America to find out what's unique about each area and add them to your route.
If your chosen route gets jammed up, rely on apps like Waze, Google Maps or INRIX to navigate around traffic, construction and road closures and keep you on course to your destination.
Make sure your car can stand up to the rigors of long days on the road. Top up fluids, check belts and the spare tire, and pack an emergency medical kit. Be sure to have emergency roadside assistance because you never know when a fender-bender will happen.
Once on the road, use apps such as Automatic and Dash to monitor your car's performance and alert you of potential problems and Urgent.ly and AAA Mobile to get roadside assistance.
These essentials will help make the trip less messy and more comfortable: sunglasses, wet wipes, toilet paper (really), trash bags, pillows for snoozing.
Load your phone or tablet with your favorite apps -- for music, audio books, podcasts and so on -- to keep you entertained on the long, open stretches of your journey. And don't forget the chargers and adapters.
Since you've prepared at least the outline of a route plan, you can estimate how much time you'll spend on the road between stops. Don't let yourself get so focused on the drive that you miss the whole point of a road trip -- the interesting things along the way. Plus, frequent breaks ease tension and keep you alert while driving.
We've all been on road trips where we ate nothing but junk food for days. We're sure you remember how unsatisfying, if not downright unpleasant, that was. With so many ready-to-eat healthy food options available in most roadside stops, you don't have to endure days of nothing but greasy breakfasts and burger-and-fries lunches. Apps like iExit and Google Maps help you find that healthy food.
An extended road trip means your car's probably packed to the brim with stuff -- stuff you'd hate to lose. Make sure passing thieves don't see your valuables, so they'll be inclined to move on to a more promising target.
Now, intrepid traveler, you're ready. Load up the car, your travel companions and your mobile devices and hit the road. By following these tips, you can avoid many speed bumps along the way.


The Lefkosia (Nicosia) region combines a great, diverse cultural wealth with the contemporary everyday life.
At the centre lies the capital, a place that smoothly merges the modern business centre with the historic culture. The only divided capital of the world, steeped in history and culture with a beautiful old city surrounded by massive Venetian walls, and a museum with wonderful collection of artefacts spanning the ages.
In the countryside you'll find olive groves and orchards leading up into the pine forest of the Machairas mountains, on the peak of which, set in a scenic valley with a superb view over the plains, sits a centuries old monastery.
Along the way lies Tamassos, a rich city-kingdom in antiquity, built near important copper mines for which Cyprus was famous, while to the east lies ancient Idalion, another city kingdom, currently under excavation near the modern village of Dali.
Picturesque villages abound, with their cobbled streets and preserved stone and adobe houses, offering a glimpse of rural life in Cyprus. Worth visiting is the village of Fikardou, which has been declared a national monument and was awarded the Europa Nostra award in 1987.

According to Reuters, Berkman orchestrated a classic Ponzi scheme, promising investors access to pre-IPO shares of Facebook, LinkedIn, Groupon, and Zynga, and instead using the funds he obtained to pay earlier investors and for personal expenses, including $6 million toward a personal bankruptcy case.
I deeply regret my actions. I've devastated my family. I'm very, very sorry.
Berkman blatantly capitalized on the market fervor preceding highly anticipated IPOs of Facebook and other social media companies to fleece investors whose cash flow he treated like an ATM to fund his own living expenses and pay court-ordered claims to victims of his past misdeeds.
Readers: What sentence does Berkman deserve?


1. The original story on which Shakespeare based King Lear had a happy ending. King Lear is one of Shakespeare's must-read plays. Yet less than a hundred years after the Bard wrote the play, it was given a rather dramatic (as it were) rewrite by Poet Laureate, Nahum Tate. Yet this is not the full truth. It is often said that Shakespeare wrote the tragedy of King Lear and then Nahum Tate rewrote the ending as a happy one. This much is true, but what is little known is the fact that the story of King Lear was originally a happy one, when it first appeared in the chronicles of Geoffrey of Monmouth in the twelfth century. The anonymous play, King Leir, on which Shakespeare based his tragedy also ends on a somewhat more upbeat note.
2. Nahum Tate's rewriting of the play with a happy ending was, however, hugely popular. For well over a century, Tate's rewritten Shakespeare was the one that London playgoers would see performed. This lasted until the early nineteenth century, when Shakespeare's status as the English poet of poets became entrenched in the national consciousness, thanks in part to the Romantics and their veneration of him as the original genius.
3. In Shakespeare's play, Lear is old – much older than most actors who have played him. Whether Lear ever existed is strongly disputed, but what is odd is how old Shakespeare makes Lear: over 'four score', or eighty years, presenting a challenge to many actors (most of whom are, of course, considerably younger than this!).
5. The play contains the earliest known reference to the phrase 'football player'. Consider this an 'and finally' fact here in this list of King Lear facts – it made us smile anyway. 'Thou base football player', says Kent to Oswald, in one of only two references to the beautiful game in the whole of Shakespeare.
Continue your exploration of Shakespeare's life and work with our fascinating facts about the Bard, our facts about Macbeth, and our collection of great trivia about Hamlet.
I'm just finishing a MOOC on Othello. Did you know Shakespeare got the plot and characters from a story in Cinthio's collection and that Ben Jonson wrote a comedy in which Shakespeare himself acted, where one of the characters was called Thorello! The bard was certainly not shy of re-cycling other writers' stories but was presumably not alone in this.
No I did not actually, that's really interesting!
Studied King Lear in college, so, of course, the book nerd in me found all of this interesting.
Yeah, I would interesting lit. in my emails.

This week in Toronto: The Fringe sends its best, plus ELO returns after 40 years
Sun., Aug. 12, 2018timer5 min. read
Summer Blockbuster Week
Watch this if: You've spent enough on popcorn and movie tickets already.
You've seen the superheroes, the giant sharks, the secret spies, the bank robbers, the cursed families and the dinos. Now get ready to see it all again at Bad Dog Theatre's Summer Blockbuster Week, back for a second year. The week of unscripted comedy celebrates and spoofs everything that makes summer movies simultaneously wonderful and terrible. This year's formats include Women Ruin Movies, in which a cast of women and nonbinary performers remake an audience favourite; Haunted, where the audience chooses what horrors meet a group of five teens in an abandoned mansion; Stakes, a new show from the beloved troupe Sex T-Rex; and favourites from last year like Teenage House Party, which is exactly what it sounds like. (Bad Dog Comedy Theatre, 875 Bloor St. W., 8 p.m., on until Aug. 17)
—Carly Maga
Watch this if: You want another season of Downton Abbey's former Lady Mary behaving badly.
The second season of this series starring Brit Michelle Dockery has already aired in the U.S. but gets a Canadian run on CraveTV. Letty, the thief and con artist played by Dockery, is trying to give son Jacob (Nyles Steele) a normal life with the help of contract-killer boyfriend Javier (Juan Diego Botto) as the new episodes begin, but her attempts to do normal will go off the rails worse than ever, before the season is through. (CraveTV)
—Deb Yeo
Watch this if: You were born between 1945 and 1969, or are really interested in those who were.
Rick Miller is an accomplished solo performer, with shows like MacHomer, Bigger Than Jesus and Hardsell touring all over the country. His latest premiered with Mirvish Productions over three years ago and returns with the same company for a weeklong run. BOOM is a love letter to baby boomers and 25 years of North American politics, celebrity and culture, in which Miller plays dozens of luminaries and performs key musical moments that defined the period. Miller clearly knows his audience. Free tickets are available for American draft dodgers who moved to Canada during the Vietnam War. (CAA Theatre, 651 Yonge St., 8 p.m., on until Aug. 19)
Best of Fringe
Watch this if: You like a curated cultural offering.
The defining feature of the Toronto Fringe Festival is its lottery-based programming model, which picks the vast majority of its roster by random draw. Though it's what makes the Fringe special, it can also overwhelm the average theatregoer, so the Best of Fringe series is a nice backup. Eight of this year's breakout shows are returning for a very limited engagement, including Morro and Jasp: Save the Date; the improvised farce featuring Colin Mochrie, Entrances and Exits; the solo show BikeFace; and the ensemble work starring recent Order of Canada recipient David Fox, First Dates. (Toronto Centre for the Arts, 5040 Yonge St., on until Aug. 23)
The Kindergarten Teacher, with Nadav Lapid
Watch this if: You don't know about Israel's coolest new auteur.
A director based in Tel Aviv, Lapid has become an international festival favourite thanks to a series of steely dramas that mix provocative themes and characters with deft social commentary. He's getting a boost in profile this year now that an English-language version of his 2014 film The Kindergarten Teacher with Maggie Gyllenhaal is earning kudos. (You can see it at the Toronto International Film Festival.) Lapid will be on hand to introduce the original in a Lightbox spotlight that also includes 2011's riveting Policeman and a Carte Blanche selection of Chantal Akerman's Je tu il elle. (TIFF Bell Lightbox, 350 King St. W., 6:30 p.m.)
—Jason Anderson
Watch this if: You fancy your kids getting life lessons from a girl and her monster pal.
This series is the first new animated venture from Sesame Workshop, makers of Sesame Street, in more than a decade. Geared to children 4 to 6, it features teachable moments courtesy of "monstersitter" Esme and her big yellow sidekick (no, not that big yellow sidekick). Produced with Corus Entertainment's Nelvana, it features the voices of Canadian actors Millie Davis (Orphan Black, Odd Squad) and Patrick McKenna (The Red Green Show, Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs). (Treehouse at 7:10 a.m.)
Watch this because: This act is so venerable one of its early support acts was Rush, on their North American touring debut.
Their last time here, Jeff Lynne and band entered a long-gone Exhibition Stadium from a laser-shooting flying saucer, in front of 70,000. That was 40 years ago, when punk was scorching the paint off such arena-sized excesses and ELO seemed out of any other ideas. Now comes this unlikely return, sans the saucer and trappings like an exploding cello. Lynne is now one of rock's renaissance men as a producer and part of the Traveling Wilburys. That supergroup shows up briefly in a set list otherwise dominated by old familiars from the spaceship era, which took the Beatles' baroque baton and ran with it: melodic, well-written pomp-pop made for a nostalgic singalong. (Scotiabank Arena, 40 Bay St., 8 p.m.)
Camp Wavelength
Watch this because: You can take the camping out of the indie fan, but you can't take the indie fan out of the campground.
It's the end of an era and the start of another for Wavelength's summer centrepiece festival. Gone is the boho, even terrifying prospect of camping overnight on the island (and last year, getting flooded right off it), while the new extras include a comedy stage and artists' installations. As for the music, it's the usual bag of irregulars, the standouts including Montreal maniacs Suuns headlining a Saturday menu that includes the wonderful Zaki Ibrahim; on Sunday, clear space for a suppertime set from local aces Casper Skulls leading up to Chad VanGaalen's final bows. (Fort York Garrison Common, 100 Garrison Rd., gates 1 p.m.)
Vertigo at the Christie Pits Film Festival
Watch this if: You want a fond farewell to the outdoor movie season.
Those massive rainstorms may have put a damper on some of your opportunities to enjoy movies under night skies, but here's hoping the weather's clear for the last night of the Christie Pits Film Festival. The fest's season of tributes to "Cinematic Cities" closes with Vertigo, Alfred Hitchcock's San Francisco-set tale of romantic obsession. The program's savvy selection of local shorts also ends with Scaffold, another great effort by Kazik Radwanski. (Christie Pits Park, starts at sundown)

Our latest stock valuation of Royal Caribbean Cruises (20 May 2020)
So what do we value Royal Caribbean Cruises at based on their 1st quarter 2020 earnings report and the fact that made a significant loss during 1Q 2020? Based on their earnings report and the fact that they are loss making we have decided to value RCL at their stockholders equity per share which is $48.92 a stock. We therefore believe the stock of Royal Caribbean Cruises is slightly undervalued
We usually recommend that long term fundamental or value investors look to enter a stock at at least 10% below our target price, which in this case is $48.92, so we would suggest looking to enter into the stock of Royal Caribbean Cruises at $42.10 or below.
We expect the stock of Royal Caribbean to kick up from its current price in coming weeks and months as the Covid-19 pandemic starts to ease and countries starts opening up gradually.

Mit der Breguet'sche Reichweitenformel, benannt nach Louis Charles Breguet, kann die Reichweite von motorisierten Flugzeugen berechnet werden. Dabei bezieht sich die ursprüngliche Breguet'sche Formel auf Flugzeuge mit Propellerantrieb (Kolbenmotoren und Propellerturbinen mit geringem Restschub), die aber mit entsprechender Modifikation auch auf Flugzeuge mit Strahltriebwerken
angewendet werden kann.
Der errechnete Reichweitenwert ist nur exakt für konstante Flugzeugmasse, konstante Fluggeschwindigkeit (bei Strahltriebwerken), konstante Leistung (bei Kolbentriebwerken) und konstante Flughöhe.

Definition
Die Breguet'sche Reichweitenformel gibt die Reichweite für propellergetriebene Flugzeuge an, gemäß

Dabei sind: R = Reichweite;  - Propellerwirkungsgrad;  - leistungsspezifischer Brennstoffverbrauch;  = Gleitzahl; m0 = Flugzeugmasse am Startpunkt der Berechnung; mt = verbrauchte Treibstoffmenge während des Reiseflugsegments. Es ist auf konsistente Einheiten zu achten, da der spezifische Kraftstoffverbrauch oft in unterschiedlichen Einheiten angegeben wird. Für Turboproptriebwerke mit geringem Restschub kann diese Formel ebenfalls verwendet werden.

Passt man die Breguet'sche Formel entsprechend an (siehe Herleitung), dann kann man mit ihr auch die Reichweite für Flugzeuge mit Strahlantrieb berechnen:

Dabei sind: R = Reichweite;  = Fluggeschwindigkeit;  - schubspezifischer Brennstoffverbrauch (Strahltriebwerk);  = Gleitzahl; m0 = Flugzeugmasse am Startpunkt der Berechnung; mt = verbrauchte Treibstoffmenge während des Reiseflugsegments. Es ist auf konsistente Einheiten zu achten, da der spezifische Kraftstoffverbrauch oft in unterschiedlichen Einheiten angegeben wird.

Für Flüge im schallnahen Bereich (Ma>0,7) ist die Fluggeschwindigkeit v entsprechend v = Ma·a zu korrigieren, wobei Ma die Machzahl und a die Schallgeschwindigkeit in der Flughöhe ist.
Bei einer Veränderung von einem oder mehreren Flugparametern während des Reisefluges stellt die Breguet'sche Formel lediglich eine mehr oder weniger genaue Näherung dar.

Abhilfe schafft in solchen Fällen eine Aufteilung des Reisefluges in mehrere Segmente, wobei die Genauigkeit des berechneten Reichweitenwertes mit der Segmentanzahl gesteigert werden kann. Es sei außerdem darauf hingewiesen, dass für die maximale Reichweite unterschiedliche Gleitzahlen für Propellerflugzeuge und Turboluftstrahlflugzeuge verwendet werden müssen.

Herleitung
Die Breguet'sche Reichweitenformel mit Propellerantrieb geht vom leistungsspezifischen Brennstoffverbrauch (Spezifischer Kraftstoffverbrauch) aus:

 - Vortriebsleistung [kW];  - Schub [N];  - leistungsspezifischer Brennstoffverbrauch [kg/kW·h];  - Fluggeschwindigkeit [km/h]

Dabei ist

der Brennstoffmassenstrom [kg/h] und  die Flugzeit.

Die Geschwindigkeit lässt sich als das Verhältnis der zurückgelegten Strecke ( - Strecke [km]) und der hierfür benötigten Zeit schreiben:

Für die Massenabnahme im Horizontalflug gilt damit:

Damit kürzt sich  heraus und das Streckendifferential beträgt:

Mit der Bedingung des horizontalen Fluges besteht ein Kräftegleichgewicht zwischen:

Auftrieb  und
Gewicht  in vertikaler Richtung und analog dazu in horizontaler Richtung zwischen:

Schub  und Widerstand .

Daraus folgt, dass das Verhältnis von Widerstand zu Auftrieb betragsgleich zum Verhältnis von Schub zu Gewicht ist:

mit
 - Gleitverhältnis (1/E) [-] und  = Fallbeschleunigung [m/s²]

Damit lässt sich der Schub im Streckendifferential ersetzen zu:

Durch Integration von Startmasse  bis zur Masse am Ende der Betrachtung :

erhält man die Breguet'sche Reichweitenformel mit (idealem) Propellerantrieb:

Da der Propeller je nach Auslegung und Betriebszustand unterschiedlich effizient funktioniert,
lässt sich ebenfalls sein Wirkungsgrad  berücksichtigen:

mit  - Triebwerksleistung [kW];  - Propellerwirkungsgrad [-]

Daraus ergibt sich die Breguet'sche Reichweitenformel mit Propellerantrieb zu:

Die Breguet'sche Reichweitenformel mit Strahlantrieb geht vom schubspezifischen Brennstoffverbrauch aus:

 - Schub [N];  - schubspezifischer Brennstoffverbrauch [kg/N·s];  - Fluggeschwindigkeit [m/s]

Das weitere Vorgehen ist analog und man erhält dadurch die Breguet'sche Reichweitenformel mit Strahlantrieb:

Bei dieser Reichweitenbestimmung ist also vom Einhalten der konstanten Geschwindigkeit und konstantem Auftriebsbeiwert auszugehen, was zwangsläufig zur Reduzierung der Dichte durch Höhengewinn im Verlauf des Fluges (durch Reduzierung des Fluggewichtes) führen müsste.

Elektrische Flugzeuge
Bei elektrischen Flugzeugen, die den benötigten Strom alleine aus Batterien beziehen, ändert sich die Masse nicht während des Fluges. Die Formel für die Reichweite ändert sich folgendermaßen:

mit  Energie pro Massen (z. B. 150-200 Wh/kg für Li-Ionen Batterien),  die Gesamteffizienz des Antriebssystems (typischerweise 0,7-0,8),  Auftrieb über Widerstand (typischerweise ca. 18), und das Massenverhältnis Batterie zur Gesamtmasse  typischerweise ca. 0,3.

Cadbury is a one such brand that celebrates the Valentine's Day in a significant way on the OOH media. This year, Cadbury Dairy Milk Silk, announced the launch of its new special edition pack with a heart pop, which urges consumers to not hold back from expressing their love, this Valentine's Day. Promoting this, the premium chocolate brand rolled out a 360 degree campaign that includes OOH innovation.
A king-size hoarding in Mumbai showcases a heart popping out of a chocolate along with a message 'Pop you heart out- Say it with Silk'. The OOH mandate for Cadbury is handled by Posterscope India.
This campaign was conceptualised through a study stating that consumers today are looking beyond products and services, they are looking at experiences that can create memories. This insight resulted in the development of a new offering of the special edition Cadbury Dairy Milk Silk with a heart pop.

MRM News: Zoupman–Franchising as a Second Career
4 Min Watch	 10.5.2017	 By Barbara Castiglia and Kevin Freibott
Mark Barbour wanted a change after leaving a position as Director of Records for a New York City law firm. His wife researched the franchise restaurant environment and zeroed in on Zoup!, a brand with more than 100 restaurants in 20 states/provinces that is targeting New Jersey as part of an overall expansion strategy. In August, Barbour opened his first Zoup! at 100 Reaville Ave. in The Shoppes At Flemington.
Zoup! features hundreds of soup recipes with 12 rotating daily varieties, including low-fat, low-cal, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free options, all served with a hunk of freshly baked bread. Customer favorites include Chicken Potpie, Lobster Bisque and Vegetable Bounty. The menu also features made-to-order salads and sandwiches, and all menu items are available in convenient catering sizes for groups of 10 or more. To help customers select from the daily soups, sampling is encouraged. And, for those looking to save time, a daily soup menu and online ordering are available.
"We created Zoup! after discovering that really good soup is hard to find," said Eric Ersher, Zoup!'s founder and CEO. "Also, there's something special about soup and the way it elicits thoughts of family, well-being and comfort for many people. We strive to offer authentic, hand-crafted soups that are as good – and as 'feel-good' – as the homemade soups our mothers and grandmothers used to make."
In this MRM News clip, find out why Barbour is embarking on this second career as well as how he is making a name for himself and his restaurant as "Zoupman."

To describe the look of the streets in Havana is to hint at the complicated contradictory nature of Cuba. In one section, mainly Havana Viejo, you will find complete city blocks, squares, hotels, restaurants and residences that have been painstakingly restored. Turn a corner and you will encounter a mix of commercial and residential properties, most of which have been divided and subdivided into human rabbit warrens. Floors have been added between floors, ad hoc walls have been erected as needs dictated, stairs without rails have been extended from walls, windows have been sealed, doors have been boarded and sometimes all that is left is the external structure of brick and mortar with only a shadow of a reminder of the plaster that once graced the facades. People come and go and life is lived in plain view. Doors to homes are often ajar, families can be seen going about their daily activities, children play in the streets, taxis, pedicabs and pedestrians share the pot holed roads and the uneven broken down sidewalks are a hazard to all who walk on them.
To say that the revolution has granted equality to everyone is misguided at best. In fact the only change seems to have been that the socio-economic pyramid has simply been turned upside down. Instead of educated people in their chosen professions like doctors, nurses, lawyers etc earning a higher wage they earn very little. It is not unusual for a family of six or seven, multiple generations, with many university degrees among them, to be living in a small one bedroom apartment outside the centre of Havana. Although education and medical care are free, the cost of daily living and the ability to own your own home or to buy a car is impossible for most professional cubans. On the other hand, those who have close proximity to tourist dollars like owners of casa particulares, make considerably more a day. These are the people who can afford to get a passport and government permission to travel abroad, while most Cubans will tell you that you have seen more of Cuba than they ever have. The average salary for a cuban teacher is 20 CUC a day which for a young teacher means living with parents, putting off having a family and hoping that things will change. One teacher I spoke with said she doesn't care about owning a car or any other luxury item, but would just like to be able to afford a place of her own and a chance to start a family. She is in her mid thirties! Still Cubans are proud people and they do not want you to feel sorry for them, they have survived very well and have a greater zest for life than a lot of people in bette circumstances.

Master mariners kick against secure anchorage contract
By Sulaimon Salau
The Nigerian Association of Master Mariners (NAMM) has kicked against the approval of the controversial Secure Anchorage Area (SAA) operated by a private company- Ocean Marine Services Limited (OMSL), saying the deal was a contravention of international maritime laws.
The Master Mariners reacted a few weeks after the Nigerian senate endorsed the operations of the SAA by the private firm. They said the chamber was not well informed about the matter.
The SAA contract mandates visiting ships to anchor at a marked area around the Lagos harbour and are made to pay a whooping $2,500 dollars per day in order to prevent their ships from being attacked.
The OMSL implements the contract in conjunction with the Nigerian Navy. OMSL provides the fast moving boats while the Nigerian Navy supplies the manpower to man the boats.
The Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) Managing Director, Hadiza Bala Usman had recently withdrawn their support for the SAA contract, describing as illegal and adding to the cost of doing business in Nigeria.
However, the Senate through a committee had overruled the NPA and directed the SAA contract to continue.
Addressing a press on the development in Lagos yesterday, the President, NAMM Capt Tajudeen Alao, said the SAA contract is making Nigeria look ridiculous to the rest of the world
He urged foreign shipping companies visiting Nigeria to stop paying the money while urging the Federal Government through the Nigerian Navy to provide total security for all vessels, including fishing trawlers, local boats on Nigerian waters.
The master mariners questioned the Navy on the whereabouts of three vessels given to them by the NPA for the purpose of securing the waters. The vessels bought by NPA for the Navy are; DOINA, TORIE, and AGEDE. The vessels were built in South Africa.
The master mariners association warned the senate from setting dangerous precedents that other companies could spring up and exploit in the future.
"For the Senate to say that the SAA contract is not costing the government anything is a wrong notion," he said.
On his part, Rear Admiral Godswill Ombo, said it was laughable that the Nigerian Senate could take a decision on maritime security without consulting the professionals.
"What does the senate know about the sea and yet they are not consulting the professionals".
"Nobody should charge any ship at anchorage a penny, it is the prerogative of any captain coming into Nigeria whether he should go into anchorage or continue the passage"
"And when he comes into anchor, the prerogative of its security is the responsibility of Nigerian government, it should not be fan out to anybody, the ship will pay it's port dues and NIMASA levies, why are we asking the ship to pay for protection when it is our duty to provide the protection" he said
Also speaking, Capt Iheanacho Ebubeogu said that Nigeria is only being tolerated by the rest of the world due to its big market size. He said that when it comes to implementation of international conventions, the country is lagging behind.
"Nigeria is being tolerated because of the market, but when it comes to competitiveness and becoming a member of category C of IMO
Section 17 of the UNCLOS says that Coastal States must provide facilities including roadstead (Anchorage)
"Section 9 of NPA Act says that the authority can farm any of its functions to third party except for regulation, and one of the areas we regulate is the anchorage area, this is the function of NPA"
"No shipping company will pay that money and at the end of the day will not factors it into their cost on the consumers," he said.

Dubbed as the first line of defense of an automobile, the bumper is also known to be a natural shock absorber. It works to absorb the impacts of head-on collision so as not to transfer the effects to the vehicle and eventually, cause damage. It also keeps damage, in case of light to moderate crashes, right on its body. But it can only take so much and some impacts are just beyond what it can absorb. For this purpose, a bumper guard becomes necessary. This protective accessory will eliminate any possible damage that a head-on crash can bring, as well as ward off unwanted road particles that may leave marks on the front and rear ends of the vehicle.
A well protected bumper and thus automobile will have two bumper guards, one at the front and another at the rear. Each of these will come in an individually sold package, complete with the necessary mounting accessories and hardware. Usually, they will either have a heavy-duty strap or a set of bolts that will secure them in place. These sets of hardware are designed for the task, so tilting or sliding away in response to the extreme road conditions is not expected to happen. These components are also weather-resistant just like the guard itself. An installation guide is also included for both the front and the rear bumper guard parts, which if used properly and accordingly, will ensure best result.
One thing that needs to be remembered in acquiring protective accessories is fit. Different automobiles have distinct specifications and dimensions that should match with any add-on. Ensuring this is a form of prevention against incompatibility, which may lead to either modification to the vehicle or enduring the effects of misfit. One good example is using a car bumper guard on a huge utility vehicle and larger guards on a car. Both guards will be ineffective as these different vehicles have different road conditions and functionalities to tackle.
Whatever type of automobile though, it needs to be rigged with complementing aftermarket parts, too. The right fit and stylish front and rear bumper guard will have a great effect in how these vehicles will eventually perform and appear. Color and shape should also be considered to ensure that they either appear monochromatic or harmonious with the vehicle finish. Some modern guards are also configured with some effects, so that should be regarded as well.
The easiest part in acquiring a bumper guard is the actual acquisition. The aftermarket industry has a long list of reputable stores and centers where this protective accessory can be purchased. Also, there are many world-class manufacturers embarking on this component's manufacture. In fact, there's no need to inquire and go from store to store since you can very much make your purchase online. And when it comes to automobile parts and accessories, nothing comes close to Parts Train. Place your order now and we will have it shipped to your address in no time.


OBJECTIVE: Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is the most common peripheral cause of vertigo. It can be defined as transient vertigo induced by rapid changes in head position associated with a characteristic paroxysmal positional nystagmus. The aim of this study was to search for the possible role of oxidative stress and inflammatory mediators in the pathogenesis of BPPV.
MATERIALS and METHODS: Total antioxidant status as well as paraoxonase, tumor necrosis factor alpha, interleukin (IL) 6, and IL-1β levels were evaluated in peripheral venous serum samples of 30 BPPV and 30 control patients.
RESULTS: Total antioxidant status levels were lower in the BPPV group than in the control group (p=0.008). After Epley's repositioning maneuver in the vertigo group, there was a statistically significant decline in IL-1β levels at the first and third month visits (p=0.014 for first month and p=0.013 for third month).
CONCLUSION: Our findings suggested that IL-1β and oxidative stress contributed to the pathogenesis of BPPV.

Q: section indexer get section for position returns 0 In my project I have class that extends ArrayAdapter<String> and implements SectionIndexer. When implementing methods getPositionForSection and getSectionForPosition I have found some strange behaviour.
Why section indexer works properly when getSectionForPosition returns 0?
public int getSectionForPosition(int position) {
    return 0;
}

this implementation is used in many tutorials, for example:
http://androidopentutorials.com/android-listview-fastscroll/
http://www.survivingwithandroid.com/2012/12/android-listview-sectionindexer-fastscroll.html
Documentation says that

Given a position within the adapter, returns the index of the
  corresponding section within the array of section objects.

so if my list have 5 items starting with letter "A" and some items starting with letter "B", then getSectionForPosition(5) should return 1.

A: While the basic functionality of the sectionIndexer (scrolling through the section indices when pulling the scrollbar thumb) is unaffected, returning a constant in the method getSectionForPosition can lead to a misbehaviour of the scrollbar positioning when swiping through the list (e.g. the scrollbar moving out of the window on the y-axis).
Apparently this misbehaviour only occurs when the list or single sections exceed a certain length, so for shorter lists the indexer might seem to work correctly (but in fact doesn't). I experienced this misbehaviour in larger lists when returning a constant in the above method several times and fixed it by implementing getSectionForPosition in a correct way.

However, since it might be interesting for others I can provide a sample implementation of that method. Let azIndexer be a HashMap containing a correct section -> position mapping of my indices and listItems be the items arranged by the adapter. The following builds a position -> sectionIndex mapping stored in positionIndexer.
List<Integer> values = new ArrayList();
for (int i : azIndexer.values()) {
    values.add(i);
}
values.add(listItems.size()-1);
Collections.sort(values);

int k = 0;
int z = 0;
for(int i = 0; i < values.size()-1; i++) {
    int temp = values.get(i+1);
    do {
        positionIndexer.put(k, z);
        k++;
    } while(k < temp);
    z++;
}

which will then be used in the getSectionForPosition method:
@Override
public int getSectionForPosition(int position) {
    return positionIndexer.get(position);
}

A: Your callback method getPositionForSection(int section) needs to be implemented to give the right position which is used by setSelection to return the right position where you want to scroll on touch of SectionIndexer on rightside.
Make sure you are doing this
this.setSelection(((SectionIndexer) getAdapter()) .getPositionForSection(currentPosition));

You need to implement two callback methods
@Override
public Object[] getSections() {
  Log.d("ListView", "Get sections");
  String[] sectionsArr = new String[sections.length()];
  for (int i=0; i < sections.length(); i++)
  sectionsArr[i] = "" + sections.charAt(i);

   return sectionsArr;
 }

This final callback and you are done here
@Override
public int getPositionForSection(int section){
  Log.d("ListView", "Get position for section");
  for (int i=0; i < this.getCount(); i++) {
  String item = this.getItem(i).toLowerCase();
  if (item.charAt(0) == sections.charAt(section))

 return i;
}

return 0;
}

This week, I made another cake for Cake4Kids. It was another doctored cake mix cake; this time a Devil's Food one which I adapted from the same recipe from my last post. Unfortunately, I wasn't as blown away with this doctored version. Maybe it's because I already found a chocolate cake from scratch that I swear by. One thing about this cake that I loved was being able to use the new Wilton Make Any Message Letter Press Set I bought this week. Good bye to fondant sticking inside those ABC cut outs! Also, I remembered this time to use the Viva Towel Method. Still not the smoothest looking chocolate buttercream frosting but better than the last one I made! Wasn't given much direction on this cake, so I just went with blue and green marshmallow fondant accents.
The cake requests are finally starting to roll in for Cake4Kids. I kept this one fairly simple as it was a very last minute request. I completely forgot about the vanilla buttercream frosting crusting up or else I would've definitely used the Viva Towel Method. Not too bad for someone who likes to hide everything under fondant right?
I "cheated" and doctored a box of Duncan Hines Classic Yellow Cake for this one. The cake was out of this world good. I even ate every last bit of the scraps to prove it. I used the Original WASC cake recipe from Cake Central which has me reconsidering my self-proclaimed ban on box cake mixes. Don't get me wrong, I'm actually envious of how box cake mixes can always yield a moist and delicious cake. It's just that it's always been my thing to bake from scratch. I can see this as the perfect alternative to pound cake for stacking and carving.

Орегонский конференц-центр — конференц-центр в американском городе Портленд. Был открыт в 1990 году. Он известен башнями с двумя шпилями, которые обеспечивают освещение интерьера здания и самым большим в мире маятником Фуко. Это самый крупный конференц-центр в штате Орегон, его площадь составляет почти 93 000 м².

В здании проходил чемпионат мира по лёгкой атлетике в помещении 2016 года.

Здание было спроектировано архитектурным бюро Zimmer Gunsul Frasca Architects. Это крупнейший конференц-центр в Орегоне площадью почти 1 миллион квадратных футов (93 000 м 2 ). Комплекс включает в себя 255 000 квадратных футов (23 700 м 2 ) выставочной площади. Он имеет самый большой банкетный зал в городе Портленд 35000 квадратных футов (3300 м 2 ).

Первоначальное здание было построено в конце 1980-х, открылось в 1990 году  и было расширено в 2003 году, Zimmer Gunsul Frasca Architects также принимала участие в проектировании расширения.  Последнее время здание стало известно тем, что ежегодно 11 сентября в память о событиях 9/11 освещают вверх двойные шпили.

Здание и территория также имеют более двух десятков произведений общественного искусства, в основном художников Тихоокеанского Северо-Запада . Коллекция включает картины, мемориальные доски, стеклянную и керамическую плитку, бра, мозаику, колокольчики и части большой пихты Дугласа.

Каждая из башен украшена художественными работами: красочная китайская лодка-дракон длиной 40 футов, подвешенная в восточной башне, драматический маятник Фуко, висящий над позолоченным ореолом лучей, и встроенная, фантастически огромная солнечная система, в полу северной башни.

В 2011 году через дорогу от центра, к востоку, началось строительство сплошной "открытой площади" площадью 30 000 квадратных футов (2800 м 2 ) для мероприятий, связанных с конвенциями.  Площадь, известная как Площадь конференц-центра Орегона, открылась в январе 2012 года.

Транспорт и дополнительные строения

Система легкорельсового транспорта в регионе  обслуживает конференц-центр со станцией на Holladay Street. Трамвайная система Portland Streetcar начала обслуживать Oregon Convention Center в 2012 году, с открытием новой линии под названием CL Line; в 2015 году она была переименована в . Маршрут TriMet № 6 также обслуживает конференц-центр.

В 2011 году восточнее центра началось строительство зала и вспомогательных помещений площадью 2800 м² для проведения мероприятий, связанных с Орегонским конференц-центром. Здание, получившее название Oregon Convention Center Plaza, открылось в январе 2012 года.

Our marks are who we are.
They represent the defining culture of our church and the Kingdom.
Vision paints a picture of where you hope to end up someday.
But culture is who you are right now. Culture drives the decisions you make today.
We have made our home downtown on Franklin Street, putting down roots in the cultural and historic heart of the community. By grace, we are becoming a reflection of Franklin Street: an eclectic collision of college students and homeless friends; couples and families and professionals; artists, activists and academics. Beautifully diverse. Comically chaotic. Snapshots of the Kingdom claiming new ground.
We believe that the most eloquent articulation of The Gospel is a love that gives itself away. Love is more than our name. It is our mission, the very essence of who we are and everything we do.
This is where the rejected are embraced, the outsiders are the insiders, and the forgotten are the first thought. Those who have no other place in this world find their place with us.
We understand that all we have is a gift from God. In response, we will trust Him to provide for our needs as He uses us to provide for those in need. We aim to live simply, give generously, and put our money where our mission is.
We believe that grace has the strength to work its way into every corner of who we are, leaving no part untouched and unchanged. We preach, expect, experience and celebrate real transformation in the real lives of real people. We are an experiment in grace. Let's see where this adventure takes us.
We are a collective of future pioneers, commissioned to multiply disciples and transformation in the thick of culture, by the power of the Holy Spirit. According to The Great Commission, we are not fully disciples until we make disciples. If we are not missionaries, maybe we still need one. Full discipleship involves The Call (come, follow me), The Cost (lay down your life, take up the cross), and The Commission (go, make disciples).

Although universal health care has not yet officially been implemented, President Obama is working very hard to get it passed, despite all the nasty opposition he's had to put up with. This will ensure that in such a developed country as the U.S., everyone can get taken care of when they are sick. President Obama is the only President that has succeeded in this effort, even though many in the past have tried.
President Obama has relaxed the Cuba embargo. This also includes remittances and travel agreements. This has been a very long time coming.
The Guantanamo Bay 'torture camp' for prisoners has been closed because of President Obama. Guantanamo Bay has been widely known as a place to hold prisoners without charge or trial, where inhuman torture has taken place. President Obama followed through on his promise and has put a stop to this.
Education has now been made a national priority because of President Obama. The President understands the requirements needed of our educational system if we are to keep a place in the global world of science, technology and intelligence.

These familiar words have been given a very different treatment to that of the often-performed French carol. Scored for SATB choir with divisi, there is more of the sense of the drama of Gabriel's annunciation – both the blaze of his appearance and a tenderness towards Mary.
The melodic material is largely constant between the verses, but with different textural and harmonic treatment, fitting the mood of the words.
Written as one of a set of Three Marian Carols (alongside Hail, Blessed Virgin Mary and Sweet was the song the Virgin sang), this is a challenging piece for an accomplished choir, and would suit both a dramatic slot in a carol service or a concert performance.
It received its world premiere in November 2016, during a Service of Lessons and Carols for Advent in St Paul's Cathedral, London, Ontario, Canada.
In December 2017 it was issued on an album of contemporary Christmas carols, 'The Silver Stars at Play', recorded by the exciting young chamber choir, Kantos, released by Prima Facie Records.
You can follow the score while listening to Kantos's performance in the video below:
The work is published by Chromata Music, presented in A4 format, 8pp, printed on matt coated 135gsm paper.
Those who wish to perform the work also have the options of purchasing a licensed download from which they can make their own copies, or hiring copies from the publisher.
Purchase price: 1-4 copies: £1.60 each / 5-15 copies: £1.44 each / 16-30 copies: £1.36 each / 31-50 copies: £1.28 each / 51+ copies: £1.20 each

3 opinions: who should foot the bill for HD?
Kit Hawkins, ceo, Sculpt the Future (uk)
By Lindsay Gibb
If it isn't necessary but the broadcaster wants it for their archives then they should pay for it. If it's not required by the broadcaster but the production company chooses to shoot in HD to gain more international value then that perhaps should come out of their own budget. But I think generally speaking, broadcasters should always pay for everything; I'd always fight for that anyway.
David Pounds, CEO, Electric Sky (UK)
I think it should be a shared responsibility. The broadcaster is ultimately responsible for providing new HD platforms to the viewer, but producers still want their content to be shown in its best production quality. Technological advances are an expense for both producers and broadcasters but that has always been the case and we have to move with the times.
Harold Gronenthal, SVP, Rainbow International (US)
It would be great to say the burden should be equally shared, but it's not going to be. If the production company is doing it as a requirement of the network, then you might make the case that the network has to cough it up. But I think if I'm the production company, I've got to be a little more forward thinking on this and get a little ahead of the curve.


Just wanted to let you know that Powerbronze will have access to an S1000XR tomorrow for the whole day so we are going to get very busy (more than normal, if you class developing a screen including brackets in 1 day not busy that is).
We are going to be test fitting a mudguard extender on the bike that we have developed and start development of our hugger.
There are other things that we are going to try so I will keep you posted tomorrow.
Just to let you know the bike is in and development work has already begun.
Looks like I should have lots of new stuff to share with you later today.
Unfortunately, we were unable to do crash posts for the bike due to a water hose over the hole we would have positioned them in and the chain guard on the bike is different to the one we already make. I will let you know if we decide to make a new one for the XR or not.
As you can tell, we've had a really busy day with the XR today. Anything that is already a live product we have re-photographed in our studio setup in our showroom so I will have some amazing new photos to show you of all our live products plus photos of the belly pan in white, along with all of the new bits we have designed.
Hope this wets your appetite for our bits. Let me know what you think of the list and I will let you see all the photos tomorrow, that will be a big post.

Q: Apex Chart line not displaying I am working with Vue Apex Charts and noticed something strange. The chart is not displaying any lines only for one of the entries.

These are the options that I pass to the chart:
{
 "chart":{"width":"100%"},
 "dataLabels":{"enabled":false},
 "xaxis":{
          "type":"datetime",
          "categories":["2020-08-13T00:00:00Z","2020-08-14T00:00:00Z","2020-08-15T00:00:00Z","2020-08-16T00:00:00Z","2020-08-17T00:00:00Z","2020-08-18T00:00:00Z","2020-08-19T00:00:00Z"]

}

And the series data:
[{"name":"Adskeeper","data":[195,195,189,179,182,184,166]},{"name":"ContentAd","data":[1117,1120,1079,1080,1101,1168,1626]}]

The problem seems to be specific to the ContentAd one however the data supplied seems to be okay just like the data supplied to others. What might be causing this?

A: Okay I managed to fix this issue. If anyone has this issue in the future I think it's related to the very name 'ContentAd'. In apexcharts version 2.4.1 if you put that name as a name of a series it doesn't display it all. Tried this in Code Sandbox with a clean project and got the same results with the versions of dependencies that I was using. It was a problem that persisted until apexcharts 3.6.12.
