Recent U.S. presidential executive orders and policies have stimulated intense discussions across the globe. Join a panel of Upper Iowa University professors Wednesday, Feb. 8, as they discuss the recent political, health and economic policies from a politically neutral standpoint. The program is scheduled to begin at 11 a.m. in Student Center Ballroom A at the Fayette Campus.
The panel will include UIU Professor of Business Richard Patrick, a presidential history aficionado, who will discuss and compare presidential transitions; UIU Associate Professor of Management Redmond Humphrey, who will discuss U.S. international relations and foreign policy diplomacy, and UIU Labor Economist and Assistant Professor of Economics Chelsea T. Dowell, who will discuss economic policies of the new administration. There will also be an opportunity for questions and answers.


This design for a stool has the following qualities which should recommend it to your attention. It is durable, practical and inexpensive. This massive timber stool is a thing of beauty as well as an object of real practical value. Since it has many flat surfaces, it can be decorated with some ornaments of your choice to accommodate the home decor.
The stool is 300 mm (11.81 in.) long, 300 mm (11.81 in.) wide and 450 mm (17.72 in.) high.
There is no need to copy this design carefully; once you understand the principle you can simply adjust it to suit your specific requirements. The drawings show how the parts are made and fitted together.
The making of the mortise and tenon joint (reinforced with dowels) may be learned thru this free woodworking project.
This stool can be made of either hard or softwood as its design produces a very solid construction.
3. Cut all of your stock to size, according to the List of Materials.
4. Make mortises on legs.
5. Make the tenons on the crossbars to fit the mortises in the legs.
9 Mark the location of all holes to be drilled. Drill the holes.
10. Cut dowels to length and glue in holes.

The battles and the blood of the Salvos
By Roy Maloy
The Salvation Army (Salvos) have been in Melbourne since the early 1880s, when its work erupted into the streets of Melbourne. Today the Salvos is seen as a benevolent charity and welfare provider, however, that wasn't always the case. The Salvos was also the subject of ridicule and torment from a large number of the earlier push gangs of Melbourne, who saw the Salvos as a target for violent pranks.
In Melbourne, the Salvos made its mark by regularly marching the streets around corps locations, assembling in a military-style parade, playing brass band tunes and preaching where crowds gathered. It's a global practice that the Salvos put to regular use the world over until the mid 1980s. However, these marches were obvious and exciting targets for hoodlums and criminals alike.
As a new Christian denomination, the Salvation Army's goals were to evangelise and to reform the ways of drinkers, smokers, gamblers and wayward types who frequented dance halls and pubs. In its effort to evangelise, the Salvos employed a variety of tactics, such as the marching band parades.
Dressed in flamboyant military-style uniforms, its open-air church services, marches and kerb-side preachings were truly irresistible to drunks and push gangs everywhere. Inciting further rage from the drunks and gangs, the Salvos's marketing tactics also included taking the words of well-known drinking songs, which were sung in pubs most nights of the week, and re-writing them, so that their lyrics served its evangelical purposes.
This included utilising the song 'For he's a jolly good fellow' and re-wording it to be 'For Jesus is our saviour'. Needless to say, the push gangs, made up of hardened labour workers and the amassed poor of impoverished inner suburbs, saw the piety of the Salvos as a farce.
The below incidents are just four of at least twenty reported incidents in which members of the Salvos were pelted with objects, including stones and eggs; booed and hissed at; and even beaten by the locals who objected to them.
William Younger was charged with insulting behaviour at the chapel of the Salvation Army, in Little Bourke Street. The defendant came among the crowd on horseback, breaking up their parade with the style of a trooper. When the Salvos managed to retreat and hide in the chapel, Younger tried to ride his horse through the door, continuing to try to fight anyone close by. He was fined £3.
A Salvation Army soldier, by the name of Mouseler, was attacked by William McKinnon on Northumberland Street, Collingwood. As the Collingwood Salvation Army band paraded down the street, he became offended that they had interrupted his peace as he sat drinking beer on his porch. He attacked the soldier with his bottle and slashed his hand deeply with the broken glass without provocation. McKinnon was sentenced to a £5 fine or one month's imprisonment.
David Greerson was charged with and arrested for insulting behaviour at a Salvation Army gathering at the Primitive Methodist Hall. He was taken to the lock-up.
Salvation Army soldiers were pelted with rocks, and a number of local youths rushed the scene, trampling themselves and the Salvos in the process.

Q: Como eu posso verificar se dois valores de duas matrizes estão na mesma posição? Eu estou tentando criar um mini sistema de login usando python, em que é requisitado um login e uma senha, e se os dois coincidirem, por exemplo: o login está na posição 2 e a senha também está na posição 2, o login é aprovado. O meu problema está em verificar se o login e a senha estão na mesma posição, como eu posso fazer isso? No meu código atual, qualquer senha dá acesso a qualquer login. Eu já tentei colocar x == y e não funcionou, e eu também pesquisei sobre, mas só achei conteudo sobre NumPy, dá pra usar essa biblioteca para resolver meu problema? (Eu estou começando a programar agora, me desculpem pelas más práticas, se tiverem qualquer outra dica, eu aceito)
username = ['pedro', 'marcos', 'ana', 'michael', 'tomas']
key = ['pedro12', 'markos', 'anaconda', 'jackson', 'toma']

user = str(input("Digite seu username: "))
if user in username:
   for x in username:
    if user == x:
        senha = str(input("Digite sua senha: "))
        for y in key:
            if senha in key:
                if senha == y:
                    print("Olá {}".format(x))
            else:
                print('Acesso negado')
else:
    print("Username não encontrado")

A: Viva, podes simplificar bastante e nem precisas de utilizar for loop, mas ao invés de utilizar dois arrays o que parece estranho validares a posição, utiliza antes um dictionary, com o key é o teu nome e o value é a password.
NOTA: Dá uma vista de olhos na documentação, aqui e aqui. Nota do Fernando. É importante também olhares para a análise de complexidade de algoritmos, aqui.
nomes = {'pedro':'pedro12', 'marcos': 'markos', 'ana': 'anaconda', 'michael': 'jackson', 'tomas': 'toma'}

def login():
  user = str(input("Digite seu username: "))
  if user in nomes.keys():
      senha = str(input("Digite sua senha: "))
      if senha in nomes[user]:
          print("Olá {}".format(user))
      else:
          print('Acesso negado')
  else:
      print("Username não encontrado")

Ou
Utilizando a tua fonte de dados e obter pelo index se a password existe nessa posição, mais uma vez sem qualquer for loop.

username = ['pedro', 'marcos', 'ana', 'michael', 'tomas']
key = ['pedro12', 'markos', 'anaconda', 'jackson', 'toma']

def login():
  user = str(input("Digite seu username: "))
  if user in username:
      index = username.index(user)
      senha = str(input("Digite sua senha: "))
      if senha in key[index]:
          print("Olá {}".format(user))
      else:
          print('Acesso negado')
  else:
      print("Username não encontrado")

A: Veja se é isso que quer:
username = ['pedro', 'marcos', 'ana', 'michael', 'tomas']
key = ['pedro12', 'markos', 'anaconda', 'jackson', 'toma']

user = str(input("Digite seu username: "))
if user in username:
   for i, x in enumerate(username):
    if user == x:
        print("Usuário na posição "+str(i))
        senha = str(input("Digite sua senha: "))
        if senha in key:
            for j, y in enumerate(key):
                if i == j and senha == y:
                    print("Senha na posição "+str(j))
                    print("Olá {}".format(x))
                    #Quebra o for para não precisar gastar processamento
                    #pesquisando outras senhas.
                    break
                else:
                    print("Senha na posição "+str(j))
                    print('Acesso negado')
                    break
else:
    print("Username não encontrado")

O que fiz foi pegar o índice no for para poder comparar e o seu "if senha in key:" estava depois do for, e eu coloquei antes.

Pick made on 08/10/2022 at 09:45 AM EST
The FedEx St Jude Championship Profile
If this tournament feels a little familiar it should do.
It started life as a regular tour event, graduated to World Golf Championship status, and is now the first stage of the end-of-year FedExCup Playoffs.
It's bad news for the WGC, a concept that started with such high hopes but which is increasingly something of a damp squib, but good news for the tournament.
The field, however, is not quite the one that the sponsors and hosts, never mind the PGA Tour hierarchy, would have had in mind when this change of direction was announced last year.
LIV Golf has, of course, had a huge impact on the circuit and no fewer than four past champions of the tournament are among the rebels playing for Greg Norman's breakaway circuit (Abraham Ancer, Brooks Koepka, Dustin Johnson and Lee Westwood).
It makes for a sad state of affairs, but one of the most vocal supporters of the PGA Tour, Justin Thomas, is also a past champion (in 2020) and he'll be keen to start the Playoffs in style and then perhaps end the season in perfect fashion.
While the elite will be chasing the win, others will have their eyes on a secondary target because only the top 70 players in the rankings after this week's action will tee it up in next week's BMW Championship – and from there only the top 30 will make it to the Tour Championship.
TPC Southwind Course Report
A par-70 played at around 7,300 yards TPC Southwind is not a track that hugely tests the players with length.
Instead is it breezes and grass which tend to fix them.
The wind can be blustery and unpredictable. The grass is grainy Bermuda on the greens and Zoysia on the fairways which pops the ball up for pure lies, but which tends to suit sweepers of the ball rather than aggressive hitters.
Johnson is a double-winner here, as is Daniel Berger. Koepka, Thomas, and Ancer are the last three winners on the track.
That suggests that quality rises to the top, but before it was a WGC event, the winners were often a different brand of golfer – those who favor short par-70s, with lots of wind and that tricky grass on the greens.
And, to some degree, even the successes of Thomas, Berger, and Ancer back that up.
Burns Can Win Again
Sam Burns is a golfer heading in the right direction.
In the last year and a bit he has made 32 starts, winning four times while adding another eight top 10 finishes.
He's performed well in a variety of conditions, hinting that he has potential at the top of the game, but he has also quite clearly been favored by the type of conditions he will face this week.
Par-70s with small greens? He won this year's Charles Schwab Challenge at Colonial Country Club.
Bermuda grass greens? He's a two-time champion at the Innisbrook Resort.
If that suggests that we are playing a bit of a guessing game in trying to work out if he is a good fit this week then think again because 12 months ago he backed up all the theory by making the playoff which Abraham Ancer won.
It's also notable that if Burns plays a course well once he tends to back it up in subsequent visits.
Back him at DraftKings: +3500 to win and +300 to make the top 10.
Horschel Can Shine Again at Southwind
There was little evidence in Billy Horschel's first three visits to TPC Southwind that he liked the place.
He missed the cut in 2009 and 2011, before only registering T72nd in 2012.
Then the penny dropped and he suddenly understood what was needed to pass the test.
In his last eight starts, he's only once failed to make the top 25 and has five times ended the week inside the top 10.
It's also only two months since he won the Memorial Tournament and he went sub-70 in all four rounds last week in the Wyndham Championship.
He also averages one top 10 in the FedExCup Playoffs every year in the last decade.
You can back him at +5000 to win and +450 to finish top 10 at bet365.
Reavie is Ready
Rather than highlight a tournament match bet this week I'm going to take a slightly different angle and suggest a player to make the top 40.
That golfer is Chez Reavie who has both a superb course record and is also in great form.
At TPC Southwind the American missed the cut in his first appearance (a bit like Horschel), but he has been excellent ever since, landing six top 30 finishes in a row, including three top sixes in his last four visits.
And his form? He's missed just two cuts in his last nine starts and has five top 40 finishes in that spell including a victory at the Barracuda Championship.
He's +120 to land another top 40 this week at BetMGM and that's worth backing.

Day of magic raises cash for cancer
March 18, 2018 camhowe News by Cameron 0
An emotional toll was taken on a Patterson Lakes family when their daughter was diagnosed with Leukaemia in 2014. It is now their mission to give back to the Monash Children's Hospital, who supported them on their journey by raising funds via their annual day of magic!
Cameron Howe, News by Cameron
An emotional toll was taken on a Patterson Lakes family when their daughter was diagnosed with leukaemia in 2014. It is now their mission to give back to the Monash Children's Hospital, who supported them on their journey, by raising funds via their annual day of magic!
Vanessa Miranda's daughter, Taylah was diagnosed with leukaemia at age 14. It sent shockwaves through the family unit, resulting in her then three and four-year-old children often joining their eldest at the hospital for dinner. Vanessa says that, "they got used to a life of not knowing what we were doing, whether Taylah was home or in hospital, or whether we needed to drop everything and go to the hospital."
"It was actually heartbreaking as a mother to see your children suffer, but also see your other children's sadness too," she said.
Throughout treatment, the Monash Children's Hospital strived to support the family as a whole, often working around time constraints to eventually see young Taylah back to good health. Taylah is one of more than 100,000 children who will go through the facility each year.
The Biggest Playdate is an annual event organised by The Miranda Foundation, which has to date raised in total $150,000 towards the Monash Children's Hospital. Last year donations went towards its All Aboard research program, which is developing technology to enable children with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia, to receive chemotherapy from home. The efforts of The Miranda Foundation and its supporters have unbelievably paid for an entire year of research.
"I can never repay the hospital for what they have given to me, how they have supported my family and saved Taylah's life. If I can do this for them each year, I can feel like I am doing something to repay their service to our community."
More than two hundred people attended the event last year, which will have a variety of rides, market stalls, food trucks and an auction, likely to see many families let their hair down. Now in it's fourth year, the event this year will invite along a number of roving performers likely to draw a crowd. Storm Troopers, Moana, Lego's Emmet, Superman, Wonder Woman, plus the Easter Bunny are all expected attendees.
A child's fantasy awaits at Chelsea's St. Joseph's Primary School on Saturday 24th from 11am to 3pm. Donations can be made via gofundme.com/the-biggest-playdate.

"Males have stronger bonds than females".
I honestly believed that until I started experiencing life and people through different lenses . Boy, was I glad to trade in the old pair!
Thus far, this year has been a year of complete transformation. Of course, this transformation goodness wasn't the work of my own, but I give all the glory to God! It seems like he has been guiding me to meet some of the most beautiful souls who have such an impact on my life (just another prayer answered!).The Certified 10 workshop was yet another positive thing to add to this years list of fresh new experiences!
Before I get into everything, Certified 10 is a movement started by Yetti of lifestyle blog YettiSays.com. This movement caters to mental health, self value and women empowerment.
It was the morning of the Certified 10 #Back2Basics brunch and I had no idea what was going to happen. From the title "Emptying The Closet", all I knew was that we were about to talk about some raw real-ness! I was completely open minded and ready to rid myself of the unnecessary mental baggage. I got up, made sure the makeup was on FLEEK (you guys know I love a good face lol), and threw on a simple black midi dress. I grabbed my camera and was out the door!
Once I reached the city and after 5 minutes of looking for the event venue on the wrong block (I am so known for that haha), I arrived. The venue was gorgeous! Every couple of minutes, a brown skin beauty came walking in. Little did I know, the girls walking into this venue that were once complete strangers would become women that share some of the same struggles that I face. I was completely comfortable being in the room with such amazing woman! Tears were shed, laughter and joy filled our hearts as we rejoiced in sharing the struggles we've overcame and some that we're still are battling. I thought to myself, "Oh, this is what Certified 10 is about"!
This event truly brought forward the things in my mind that I constantly pushed back because I thought that I have dealt with them.
One of the activities was to draw out a moment or insecurity from the back of our mental closets. It took me a long time to figure out what I wanted to draw (my issue was all the way in the back of the closet), but once I did I couldn't even fully draw it out. I thought I forgave and rid myself of the bitterness, but once I rest the red crayon on the white sheet paper, I had to draw "it" in the simplest form to spare myself the break down. Once we were all done, we all hung these moments and insecurities on hangers and they were all rolled away to represent the release of our unnecessary mental baggage. This was a wonderful exercise and may I just add, God is certainly still helping me in that certain situation.
So no , the statement of "males have stronger bonds than females" is no longer a fact in my head. It's nothing more satisfying than meeting a confident, encouraging, selfless women who values herself and those around her! I have been meeting plenty lately, including the woman that I've met at this event. If you haven''t met one, maybe you can be that women!

Swansea City vs Manchester United Preview | Team News, Stats & Key Men
EPL Index > EPL Index Featured Article > Swansea City vs Manchester United Preview | Team News, Stats & Key Men
Swansea City welcome top of the league Manchester United to the Liberty Stadium on Saturday, where the Swans will look to knock the Red Devils off their perch.
Swansea took a point from their first match of the season, but it was hardly a convincing performance. They failed to get a shot on target in 90 minutes and were outshot 29 to four in total. The Swans now have to find a way to stop the full throttle attack that Manchester United put on show against West Ham on Sunday where they won 4-0. Swansea will have to do that without the likes of their main two offensive weapons from last season as Gylfi Sigurdsson was officially sold earlier in the week and Fernando Llorente is out with an injury.
United's performance on Sunday got their season off to the ideal start. Romelu Lukaku bagged a brace in his debut, Paul Pogba scored a screamer, and Henrikh Mkhitaryan looked more like the player he was at Borussia Dortmund than the one he was last season. Now they're top of the league and only have to beat a shorthanded Swansea City to stay there.
Fernando Llorente, Ki Sung Yueng, and Nathan Dyer are all out for Swansea with an arm, knee, and Achilles injury respectively.
Manchester United will be without Ashley Young, Luke Shaw, and Marcos Rojo with a hamstring problem, joint injury, and an ACL injury respectively.
Swansea City: Tom Carroll
In Swansea's great escape last season they bought a handful of new players in January. One of the best additions they made was 25 year-old midfielder Tom Carroll. After being hyped up at Tottenham for years, Carroll left Spurs permanently to return to South Wales after he spent a season on loan at Swansea in 2014-2015. He scored a goal and assisted two more in his half season at Swansea. He'll need to step up and outdo Paul Pogba, but if he can play the way he played last season he has a chance.
Manchester United: Paul Pogba
While Carroll had a good half season last year, Paul Pogba has had enough good seasons to at one point become the world's most expensive player. The Frenchman is one of the best midfielders in the world and now has the freedom to do what he wants with the addition of Nemanja Matic . If Pogba plays the way he's capable of, Swansea stand little chance of stopping United in midfield.
It's hard to see Swansea winning this one. They may be at home, but United looked borderline unstoppable on Sunday and Swansea are without their leading goalscorer from last season and they've just lost their best player in Sigurdsson. United had a propensity for dropping points to sides at the other end of the table, but that looks unlikely for this weekend.
Prediction: 3-0 United

Physicians, Nurse Practitioners, Physician Assistants and Clinical Nurse Specialists – Are You Ordering Positive Airway Pressure Devices For Your Patient?
Medicare can make payment for PAP equipment and supplies when the patient's medical record shows the patient has OSA and meets medical documentation, test results, and health conditions as specified in the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Internet-Only Manual (IOM) Publication 100-03, Medicare National Coverage Determinations (NCD) Manual, Section 240.4.
Medical record documentation determines whether your patient can receive the PAP equipment and supplies you have prescribed and the amount of the patient's out of pocket expenses.
Medical record documentation must show an in-person or face-to-face interaction with your patient within six (6) months prior to prescribing the item, specifically to document the patient was evaluated and/or treated for a condition that supports the need for the item(s) of DME ordered. For the initial evaluation, the report would commonly document pertinent information such as – signs and symptoms of sleep disordered breathing including snoring, daytime sleepiness, observed apneas, choking or gasping during sleep, morning headaches; the duration of those symptoms and a validated sleep hygiene inventory, but may include other details as well. Also a pertinent physical examination assessing – e.g., body mass index, neck circumference, upper airway exam and cardiopulmonary exam. It is not necessary for all of the above to be present; however it is critical that there be detailed information that identifies symptoms commonly associated with OSA. Multiple treating practitioners may be involved in patient care. The practitioner conducting the face-to-face visit may be different than the ordering practitioner, however the ordering practitioner must have access to evaluate the medical record.
Your patient must have a facility-based polysomnogram or a type II, III, or IV home sleep study after your in-person evaluation, demonstrating an AHI or RDI greater than or equal to 15 events per hour with a minimum of 30 events per hour or an AHI or RDI greater than or equal to 5 and less than or equal to 14 events per hour with a minimum of 10 events and documentation of excessive daytime sleepiness, impaired cognition, mood disorders, insomnia or hypertension, ischemic heart disease or history of stroke. This sleep study must take place on the same date or after the in-person or face-to-face interaction documenting signs and symptoms of OSA.
The prescription must include a detailed description of the item(s) being ordered. The order must also include the order date, patient name, your name, NPI, signature and signature date. You must supply this signed order and the medical record documentation of your face-to-face evaluation to the supplier before they can deliver the PAP device to your patient. Please note that while PAP accessories may be provided from a dispensing order, this must be followed up with an order containing a detailed description for each item provided to your patient.
Your medical record documentation must also show a face-to-face re-evaluation with your patient between the 31st and 91st day after initiating therapy with a notation that the patient's symptoms of OSA are improving. Your medical record documentation must also demonstrate the patient is adhering to the therapy and that you have reviewed this adherence. Adherence to therapy is defined as use of the PAP greater than or equal to four hours per night on 70 percent of nights during a consecutive thirty (30) day period anytime during the first three (3) months of initial usage.
Following this guidance will help your patients and the Medicare program by verifying that there is medical documentation to support the provision of a PAP device and allow your patient to receive the therapy needed to treat their condition. Your assistance will allow Medicare to pay claims appropriately and ensure that your patient receives the device and accessories you have prescribed.


The economic outlook in the countries of Central East and Southeast Europe (CESEE) will improve in 2015–2017 with the forecast average economic growth rate close to 3% – some 1.5 pp. higher than the expected euro area average growth. Only the CIS countries and Ukraine will be an exception to this trend. Household consumption, aided by labour market improvements and low inflation, will be the main driver of growth. These are the main results of the newly released medium-term macroeconomic forecast by the Vienna Institute for International Economic Studies (wiiw), revising slightly upwards the growth projections relative to the Spring 2015 forecast.
Sub-regional growth trends vary greatly. At one end of the spectrum, the Central European countries are expected to continue their robust recovery with growth rates in the order of 2-4% per annum over the forecast horizon (2015–2017). At the other end, the prospects facing the CIS countries are particularly poor unless global commodity prices recover, both Russia and Belarus already tumbling into a deep recession (expected growth in 2015: -3.7% and -3.8%, respectively), while Kazakhstan is following suit with a deceleration in growth (1.5% in 2015). Whereas economic activity in the Baltic countries suffered this year on account of their exposure to Russia, they appear to be resilient and recovery is still on track with growth in the medium term expected to be in the range of 1.5-3%. Overall, Southeast Europe displays improving, but irregular growth tendencies, in many cases accompanied by macroeconomic imbalances and deep structural problems. Serbia and Croatia, the worst performers in the group, will enjoy hardly any growth at all in 2015 (0.1% and 0.7%, respectively), while growth in other countries will be in the order of 2-4%. The situation in Ukraine remains particularly fragile and serious downside risks persist, although there are signs that the recession, much deeper than originally anticipated (with output projected to drop by -11.5% this year), might be bottoming out.
Net exports are providing only a limited, if at all positive, contribution to growth, while household consumption, supported by labour market improvements and low inflation due to weak commodity prices, is coming to the fore as the main engine of growth across most of the CESEE region; consumption is expected to remain among the key drivers in the medium term as well.
At the same time, private investment remains the much-needed missing link in the mechanism essential to rekindling sustainable output growth in the CESEE region, and public investment may prove to be an important complementary factor. In this regard, the EU structural and investment funds under the 2014–2020 Multiannual Financial Framework will be instrumental as a source of co-funding. Inflation remains very weak across the CESEE region, hovering at near-zero levels on account of low commodity prices, with the exception of the CIS countries, Turkey and Ukraine, whose inflation spiked owing to exchange rate pass-through effects that followed sharp currency depreciations in 2014–2015, as well as country-specific factors, such as the food embargo in Russia and the rise in utility tariffs in Ukraine.
The external environment is only moderately supportive. As the multi-speed recovery of the world economy continues in 2015, driven primarily by advanced economies and accompanied by poor performance in large emerging market economies, manifold external risks also arise that could jeopardise the recovery of the CESEE region, including geopolitical tensions associated with the situation in Ukraine and the Middle East, a slowdown in major emerging markets, normalisation of monetary policy in the USA and low commodity prices (a negative shock for the CIS group).
Special sections of the forecast report focus on some of the potential risks that have attracted much attention since the beginning of the year, including the refugee crisis in Europe, recession and import-substitution policy in Russia, the Volkswagen scandal, the economic slowdown in China and the implications of the Greek crisis. With the exception of the CIS countries and Ukraine, however, the CESEE countries appear to be rather resilient to date.
Mixed prospects: consumption leads fragile recovery in the CESEE core - CIS stumbles.


The Slotcar Outhouse • View topic - Which subchassis/front axle for SCX McLaren F1 #60870?
There are three SCX subchassis/front axle types - none of the local slot car shops can tell me the answer - the usual answer is that SCX parts have not been available for a long time.
I think the Type 3 - SCX 88540 Jaguar F1 Subchassis With Front Axle - may be the correct one - just by comparing the pictures without measurements?
Re: Which subchassis/front axle for SCX McLaren F1 #60870?
I can report that the Type 2 #88290 is the correct part of the SCX McLaren F1 David. I found good pictures of all three chassis types at Model Sports.
When I stripped the car down completely to the chassis - it was obvious that the Type 2 chassis must be correct.
The part arrived late last week and I have been racing the car over the weekend.

Co-ops Aren't Just for Business and Engineering Majors
January 27, 2020 By Jaclyn Walsh 5 Mins Read
Cooperative education provides a student the chance to test-drive a career before graduation. Unlike an internship, co-ops usually require a full-time commitment and are paid. While engineering and applied science students have traditionally completed co-ops, students across all majors are now finding value in obtaining co-op opportunities.
*This article is sponsored by Rochester Institute of Technology
Rochester Institute of Technology provides one of the largest co-op programs worldwide. According to RIT's Office of Career Services and Cooperative Education, "more than 4,500 RIT students complete over 6,200 co-op assignments each year and are employed by more than 3,400 employers throughout the U.S. and abroad." RIT's approach to experiential education includes several options, including mandatory and optional co-ops.
But why would a student with a creative or liberal arts major want to complete a co-op?
The answer remains the same across all disciplines, regardless of the degree program. Co-ops provide the hands-on job experience needed to help propel a student's career forward after graduation.
Employment exploration
Students who complete co-ops can count on developing professional skills that complement their academic major.
"Co-ops are not required as part of my major, but a personal goal of mine was to get as much real-world experience as possible over the summer," says Trisha Pickelhaupt, a junior studying Photographic & Imaging Arts at RIT.
In the summer of 2019, she took part in a digital media co-op for a broadcast news organization owned by the Walt Disney Company. As with many entry-level jobs, students are expected to master the basics of the position before progressing into handling more in-depth tasks.
"My specialty is video editing, but I wasn't able to do that right away. I had to work my way up. I started with publishing content on their website. I cut broadcast clips and used their site's editor platform to publish them. I had to catalog clips, learn about titles, and write descriptions. After I showed my team I was trustworthy, I started getting more exciting things to do."
Pickelhaupt's co-op gave her more than just a taste of working in a fast-paced newsroom. She also received mentorship from an RIT alumna employed with the organization.
"Once we figured out we had RIT in common, we really clicked. She mentored me and was patient with all the questions I had. She was also willing to let me assist on larger projects, like helping with interviews."
Establishing a network of professional connections is one desirable outcome of completing a co-op, in addition to giving students tangible experience to add to their resume or portfolio.
"The most rewarding part was being given content to edit that would be seen by millions of people across different digital platforms."
Regardless of major, all co-op students can benefit from the advice Pickelhaupt had to give first-time co-op seekers.
"You're there to learn—take a lot of notes. Ask a lot of questions, and try and meet as many people as possible. I reached out to other professionals and asked people to talk with me which led to freelance opportunities."
Locating opportunities
So how exactly does a student apply for a co-op? Most colleges provide students with access to a job database that includes co-op opportunities as a result of employer relationships developed by the career services staff. RIT student Elisabeth Ose-Kwame turned to Handshake, the system RIT currently uses as the central source of co-op job opportunities.
"Handshake is like LinkedIn, but geared toward co-ops, internships, and job opportunities for college students. You can apply for opportunities by uploading your resume and submitting it straight through the portal," says Osei-Kwame. Students can also speak to their career center advisors or search popular job websites for opportunities.
As an Advertising and Public Relations major, Osei-Kwame was required to complete a co-op as part of her degree program.
"I worked for Abiomed, a company that manufactures medical devices. My role included patient advocacy and corporate communications. Because I hadn't spent much time outside of New York state, I chose to go to their corporate headquarters in Massachusetts for the semester to try something new."
Osei-Kwame brings up a great point—co-ops can allow students to relocate for a semester and experience a new environment. Most schools also provide international options for students as well. The pay students earn while on co-op helps offset living expenses. Some students are able to save enough money to help with tuition charges when they return to school.
"If you are considering relocating for a co-op, make sure you do your research and cover your bases. Look at housing prices. Ask your company if they offer a housing stipend. And don't forget to turn to your school — they could help you find funding or a scholarship to help you out."
Interested in learning more about co-ops? Ask the career advisors at your school where to find opportunities in your area. And remember, just because your major isn't traditionally associated with co-ops doesn't mean you can't take advantage of this opportunity to get valuable experience.

Omar ibn Abû al-Hasan est un administrateur et chef militaire qui a été, sous le règne du roi Guillaume I de Sicile, le gouverneur de Sfax au sud de l'actuelle Tunisie, possession sicilo-normande à partir de 1148. Il devient ensuite l'un des chefs de la révolte musulmane contre la domination sicilienne en Afrique du Nord (1156-1160).

Biographie
Gouverneur de Sfax pour le compte des Normands, Omar est le fils du cheikh Abû al-Hasan Al Feriani, capturé et emmené comme otage à Palerme, capitale du royaume de Sicile, lors de la conquête normande. En 1155 ou 1156, Abû al-Hasan écrit secrètement à son fils pour l'informer de la situation du royaume sicilien, divisé et affaibli par les incessantes révoltes des barons hostiles au roi Guillaume, et l'invite à organiser la révolte contre les chrétiens et à s'affranchir de la domination étrangère, sans se préoccuper du sort qui serait réservé à lui-même.

Omar sonne le début de la révolte et, le , tous les chrétiens de Sfax sont massacrés. Selon l'historien Ibn Khaldoun, l'insurrection aurait eu pour cause la mauvaise administration des Normands qui auraient pressuré outre mesure la population musulmane. Pour l'historien Ferdinand Chalandon, il est possible qu'il en ait été ainsi, mais ce sont surtout les divergences religieuses qui paraissent avoir fait éclater la rébellion.

Lorsque le roi Guillaume de Sicile est mis au courant de la situation, il envoie une ambassade à Omar, le menaçant de tuer son père. Omar, pour montrer sa détermination, ordonne selon Ibn Khaldoun de faire célébrer en grande pompe les funérailles de son père toujours vivant. Devant le refus du gouverneur rebelle de se soumettre, Guillaume de Sicile fait exécuter Abû al-Hasan tandis qu'Omar propage la rébellion : Djerba, les Kerkennah, Gabès et la cité de Tripoli (actuelle Libye) se révoltent à leur tour. À Tripoli, tous les chevaliers normands sont faits prisonniers et un certain Abu Yahya ibn Matrouh prend la tête du gouvernement de la cité. Omar soulève Az Zawiyah puis, avec l'aide de tribus arabes, assiège Mahdia. La ville, bien fortifiée par les Normands et ravitaillée en vivres et en renforts par vingt vaisseaux envoyés de Sicile, résiste aux troupes d'Omar qui, abandonnées par les tribus arabes corrompues par les Normands, subissent une grave défaite en 1157 face aux troupes normandes (composées également de musulmans de Sicile). Il disparaît de l'histoire à ce moment, peut-être tué au combat.

Le , après plusieurs mois de siège, Mahdia tombe définitivement aux mains de l'émir almohade Abd al-Mumin qui poursuit la lutte contre le royaume de Sicile : c'en est fini de la présence sicilo-normande en Afrique du Nord.

Before his acceptance speech was lower off, Drake was delivering on a reasonably inspiring speech when he took to the stage to simply accept the award for Best Rap Song on the 61st Grammy Awards ceremony.
Sunday evening, Drizzy beat out colleagues Travis Scott ("SICKO MODE"), Jay Rock ("King's Dead" and "WIN"), and Eminem ("Lucky You") to take the trophy house for "God's Plan."
This now marks the second time that Drake has earned the respect of Best Rap Song, having received the award in 2017 for "Hotline Bling." At this yr's ceremonies, Drake was up for a complete of 5 awards that embody Record of the Year, Album of the Year, Song of the Year, and twice for Best Rap Performance.
The Scorpion rapper additionally reportedly turned down the chance to carry out on the Grammys this yr.

Freedom's Just Another Word
by Stephanie Phillips on Jul 10, 2017 • 11:00 am 6 Comments
The first time I heard an Aussie ask "How are you going?" I thought he wanted me to give him directions, which is hilarious because I know how to get to, like, three places here. Then I realized I was being presented with an alternative to our American phrase "How are you doing?" And I decided that I really liked it.
There's a chance I'm taking idioms too personally here, but my journey through faith has been like this: religion to grace. Javert to Valjean. Imperative to indicative. My early years of preoccupation with behavior—to my idea of God as the big eye in the sky, marking my sins on a board that was definitely more permanent marker than dry erase—have been freed (over years of disappointment, decimation, and failure) into a receiving of what has been done on my behalf. What I once feared as indelible—my sin—has been supplanted by what actually is: his blood.
My posture is a hell of a lot different now than it was when I was anxiously trying to secure my own salvation throughout my childhood, adolescence, and young adulthood. I accept the bread with hands upturned and empty until that nourishment fills them rather than plucking it casually from the tray. And when someone asks me how I'm going, I can't help but think of my early (mis)understanding of the Gospel as I translate the Australian to American, the going into doing. Perhaps another way to hear the expressions would be as "how are things going with you?" versus "how are you doing things?" The latter's focus is on how I'm managing life; the former's is on life itself, and just being in it.
That's how I choose to hear it, anyway. I told you I take it too personally.
It's impossible not to live in a world of contrasts as an expat (not to mention as a human being; I mean, who did wear it best?), and just last week I was living vicariously through all my stateside friends' July 4 posts. The shots of families at cookouts and on beaches and at lakes dressed in all their red, white, and blue glory in the heat of summer is a bit of a jolt when viewed from the short and cold (but not too cold; it was sixty-five and sunny here today, yo) days of a Sydney winter. But I do miss fireworks. And hot dogs that taste more nitrate-y. And American patriotism—which I still have, albeit from across the world with a worried look on my face.
I've exchanged one democracy for another (spare me the constitutional republic/federal parliamentary lectures; I'm speaking broadly here), but the differences can be stark. America was a nation built upon Christian ideals—it's right there on our money! Meanwhile, people in Sydney look at you a bit funny if you mention going to church on Sunday, then ask if you were, like, on an architectural tour or something? Here's my dirty little secret, though: I kinda like it. Individuals' eternal locations notwithstanding (and above my pay grade), I appreciate that faith here is not taken for granted in the same way I appreciated it when I moved from the Bible Belt to New York City. I'm not always up for a roundtable on my personal testimony (#introvert), but I like that people here have a curiosity about it that wasn't so common back home. Without ever being too intrusive or question-y, the majority of Aussies tend to wonder why anyone would rather sit in a stuffy cathedral than on a sandy beach on a Sunday morning—and while I often can't blame them, I also think it's fitting that I should be willing to ask myself that, and have an answer for it.
If I'm being honest, though, my answer often is…I wouldn't rather. And I don't think it's always necessary—sitting in a pew rather than on a beach, that is, when looking for God. In fact, I'd venture a guess that I think about God as often on the beach as I do in that pew, marveling at the wonder of his creation in the churning of the waves and on the faces of my children. And marveling? That happens because of grace, which uses some pretty unpredictable methods to free us. I've been reading through Job lately (as a part of the liturgy, not for the usual reason, i.e. in a Who Wore It Best-esque comparison between him and me as to who's going through a harder time). Confession: in my earlier religious life—which, let's be honest, is never truly as "back then" as I wish it was since it crops up constantly—I held up Job's friends as paragons of faith. They had their act together and weren't afraid to be The Best Accountability Partners (aka, fruit inspectors) Ever to Job. They held his feet to the fire of truth, man! Never mind that his feet were probably covered in boils and suffering enough already and what he really could have used was some antibiotic ointment and one of those foot spa baths.
It wasn't until later, when I first began hearing this mysterious idea of grace preached, that I also heard the real deal on Job's friends. Which is that they were, well…jerks. Callous and cold. Consumed by Job's apparent sin instead of compassion. Rule-keepers extraordinaire. Oh sure, they had God's authority nailed down. But Job? He's the one who speaks from the heart. And that's when things really get good.
It's only once Job has truly suffered that he's able to see divine majesty more clearly. What are platitudes from his friends are answered with groanings from Job. Truth from pain.
The religion of the world is karma: you get back what you put out. Utterly within our control; safe and predictable rules. It's about what we do. This idea is embraced by auditoriums full of people whether it's Tony Robbins or Joel Osteen or Job's friends preaching it, whether you're in America or Australia hearing it. Karma isn't good news–because it ties us forever to our own deeds, and that is not freedom.
What is, though? I listened to Martin Sheen's interview with Krista Tippett for On Being recently (don't tell my dad; Sheen is SUCH a hippie) and he, I think, comes pretty close:
So often, people get stuck — and I did, myself — on the spiritual journey, if you will, with piety, and that is a terrible stumbling block. I have nothing against piety, but I think that piety is the road. It is not the destination. If being pious leads you to a form of personal reflection and acceptance of a higher power, then it has its purpose, but it has to be discarded in the larger picture in favor of the community. Because piety is something that you do, or you tend to do, alone. And true freedom, spirituality, can only be achieved in community. Even if the community is only imagined. I mean, someone living in a cell by themselves, alone in repression, in the darkest of times, still, they are in community. That's the wonderful thing, that image that Catholicism uses and refers to as the "communion of saints." That even after we're gone, we are still a part of something that's very much alive, and we respond to. And our church is — thank heaven for this extraordinary man, Francis, who is teaching us that our church has to be less a museum for saints then it should be a hospital for sinners…I love the community of saints and sinners…You can't really separate them. You can't identify one without the other, which is wonderful, because that's community.
The mom of a kid in my son's kindergarten class recently told me that she loves passing me in her car as I'm walking to pickup on Thursdays because it's one of my kid-free afternoons and, she says, I "look so free." Admittedly, I feel pretty free without two young boys using my body as a jungle gym. But I also know I'm not. Not fully, because I'm bound to them irrevocably by love. Weirdly enough, this is what freedom is: this tie that pulls us away from just ourselves and into relationship, into awe and wonder, whether it's experienced from a pew or a barstool or a beach. It is the binding of ourselves to something greater than ourselves, our behavior, our predictable big-and-little-g gods.
I've lived now in two ostensibly free nations, and before that, within two very distinct understandings of the Gospel. But the freedom I ache for deeply and need, whether or not I want it in any given moment, is a freedom from fate, from karma, from what I would orchestrate. A freedom from doing and into being—being delivered into the hospital of sinners, into relationship, that transcends nations and this world and the tidy faith of Job's friends, who heard but did not understand, and looks like the groaning and bloody faith of Job, who finally saw—and it was wonderful.

Love to hear people's " freedom" stories. We're all growing in this and discovering as we travel the way together.
Alison Mary White says:
"Good on ya" Mrs. Phillips, by grace, through faith in Jesus…which is a gift of God (as you know and hear through scripture). May the Holy Spirit continually fill you to overflow (like bread from the Lord's table) as you contemplate and write and breath life as it is "going".

Q: O que uma chave estrangeira realmente faz no banco de dados? A chave estrangeira no MySQL faz alguma ação no banco, ou só serve para eu "ver" quais campos estão relacionados há uma tabela auxiliar?
Como faço uma chave estrangeira no MySQL?

A: Chave estrangeira (foreign key) é o campo que estabelece o relacionamento entre duas tabelas. Assim, uma coluna corresponde à mesma coluna que é a chave primária de outra tabela. A função do  relacionamento entre tabelas através das chaves estrangeiras é manter a integridade referencial dos dados.
Fonte: Breve Conceito de Foreing key
No MySQL você pode criar a chave estrangeira quando criar a tabela:
CREATE TABLE Orders (
    OrderID int NOT NULL,
    OrderNumber int NOT NULL,
    PersonID int,
    PRIMARY KEY (OrderID),
    FOREIGN KEY (PersonID) REFERENCES Persons(PersonREF)
);

Ou após a criação da tabela:
ALTER TABLE Orders
ADD FOREIGN KEY (PersonID) REFERENCES Persons(PersonREF);

Onde "Order" é a tabela da chave estrangeira e "PersonID" é o campo que buscará os dados do campo de referência "PersonREF" da tabela "Persons".

Weekly Current (archived version)
UCCI leaders make an appearance on EdBeat. Bids sought for new Red Bay Primary classrooms. Lions Pool reopens for swim classes. ICCI students inducted into honor society.
Welcome to this week's newsletter on education in the Cayman Islands.
(Click here to sign up for our email list.)
This week's episode of EdBeat puts a spotlight on the University College of the Cayman Islands, which is undertaking a comprehensive accreditation process for a major US governing body, and is right around the midpoint of its 5-year strategic plan.
Patrick Brendel of the Cayman Current and April Cummings of Cayman Life TV are joined by UCCI President and CEO Stacy McAfee and VP of Academic Affairs JD Mosley-Matchett.
Here are some highlights from the discussion:
McAfee said gaining external accreditation is "balancing the quality of what we do within the Cayman context to ensure that students that attend UCCI are receiving the same quality of education that they might receive anywhere else in the world".
For example, having accreditation means that a student earning a bachelor's degree from UCCI can more easily go on to seek a master's degree from another institution because their UCCI degree will be recognised.
Although UCCI is now seeking accreditation from the US-based Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS), the university already has accreditation from organisations in the UK, Caribbean and internationally.
"It's all about continuous improvement," McAfee said.
Matchett-Mosley said SACS accreditation has 14 principles in areas ranging from student achievement to faculty, and from academic programmes to finances and transparency.
"We have to prove that we are meeting the standards for all of those 14 areas, which means it's very data-intensive, and some of the things that we've had to change are the way we go about determining whether or not students are actually meeting those student learning outcomes, and how are we taking that information and improving our education system," Matchett-Mosley said.
From 2016/17 to August 2021, UCCI increased the number of students it serves by more than 40% — from 1,350 to 1,943.
McAfee said, "We've always had wonderful faculty who were very invested in their students and the Cayman Islands, but we needed students to take a real active role in their own successes."
She said, "We need more resources, to be perfectly frank, to accomplish the vision for the university. Not just the physical campus, but we need more faculty, we need more support staff and ensuring that we have similar ratios to other universities around the world."
Maybe the most-unrealised, but most important, part of UCCI's strategic plan is to make the university an "engine for economic development, innovation and social change".
(Watch EdBeat: Episode 19 here.)
The Department of Education Services is seeking bids for the construction of three new Year 6 classrooms at Red Bay Primary School.
The Request for Proposal also calls for modifying three existing classrooms into classrooms for Reception.
Red Bay Primary is one of the most-crowded public primary schools in Cayman, with an occupancy rate of 86% as of September 2020.
The PACT government has called for creating Nursery classrooms in public schools, as part of the proposed $88.3 million in capital spending for the Ministry of Education over the next three years.
(Read our story on the Red Bay Primary expansion here.)
The Lions Aquatic Centre reopened after being closed for a month or so while repair and maintenance work was performed on the swimming pool.
You may ask, "What does this have to do with education?" … Well, many public and private schools hold their PE swimming classes at the Lions Pool.
In addition to schools' swimming classes, the Department of Sports' 'Learn to Swim' programme opens back up on 8 Nov.
(Read about the Lions Pool reopening here.)
Seventeen students from the International College of the Cayman Islands were inducted into Sigma Beta Delta Honor Society at the George Town Yacht Club.
To qualify, undergraduate students must have at least a 3.0 GPA and be in the top 20% of the class. Graduate students must have at least a 3.5 GPA and be in the top 20% of the class.

Statement Regarding Anti-Housing Rally
In our housing and climate crises, it is indefensible for the City to continue to prohibit new triple-deckers and fourplexes in residential neighborhoods, while allowing and encouraging new 2+-million-dollar detached houses. Small multifamily apartment buildings are some of Cambridge's most affordable and sustainable housing stock, and the regulations that ban them have an ugly, racist and classist history.
We're pleased that the City Council has committed to continuing the conversation on ending these exclusionary zoning regulations. Now is the time for advocates who are invested in productive policy-making to come to the table and grapple with the tradeoffs and possibilities involved. It is disappointing that a number of groups are instead spending their time stirring up fear and outrage by holding a rally against reform.
A Better Cambridge was proud to be a leader in the fight for the 100% Affordable Housing Overlay, which has already added over 300 new units of affordable housing to the development pipeline since it passed in October. In 2021, ABC is also joining other advocates to support the approximately 50 units of transit-oriented, deeply affordable housing still under consideration for 2072 Mass Ave. Unlike the organizers of this anti-housing rally, we don't believe in choosing between affordable housing and ending exclusionary zoning; we can and must have both.
We believe that it is vital to build a system where everyone can access housing as a human right, and that it will take a combination of many reforms and initiatives to get there. Defending a broken status quo does not bring Cambridge closer to that goal.
We're grateful to the many community members, city staff, and local stakeholders who have helped shape our work on zoning reform through countless conversations, and in particular to Sunrise Boston who have been invaluable partners. If the organizers of this rally - some of whom we have repeatedly tried to engage over the past few months - ever become interested in practical, actionable, and creative policy planning, we would love to talk to them as well, whether about zoning or any other topic.
Until then, we urge the Cambridge community to learn more below and at CambridgeMMH.org.
Allan Sadun, Co-chair, A Better Cambridge
Becca Schofield, Co-chair, A Better Cambridge
Further Context on Exclusionary Zoning
The term "exclusionary zoning" refers to zoning rules that prohibit the construction of the most affordable kinds of housing in certain areas, with the effect (and, historically, the intent) of keeping working people and minorities out. In Cambridge, many neighborhoods have examples of "missing middle housing" (fourplexes, triple-deckers, townhouses) that predate zoning, but nearly all neighborhoods have rules that make them illegal to build today.
Cambridge's exclusionary zoning rules:
Encourage wasteful land use - current zoning privileges parking over people, by requiring one off-street parking space per unit. Cambridge is one of the most environmentally friendly places to live in the state, and our dense housing is a big part of that. But exclusionary zoning undermines transit, walkability, and bikeability, and instead promotes impervious surfaces and suburban-style sprawl.
Produce more expensive housing - most new construction in neighborhoods today produces large, seven-figure single detached houses, in many cases by removing units from a previously-multifamily building. The denser buildings and more reasonable unit sizes that would provide more affordable housing options are not allowed by zoning.
Help keep the city racially and economically segregated - the wealthiest and whitest neighborhoods are the ones with the most exclusionary zoning restrictions. Allowing small apartment buildings in every neighborhood is an equity imperative.
Increase displacement of low and middle-income residents by exacerbating Cambridge's massive housing shortage.
Ending exclusionary zoning is one of many needed tools to advance housing equity. We are proud to be residents of a city that passed the nation's first Affordable Housing Overlay, prioritizing affordable housing over free market competition and luxury development. There are many other policies that should be pursued alongside zoning reform - including more affordable housing, additional local rent subsidies, an impactful condo conversion ordinance, anti-displacement initiatives, and strategies for land control and development that will protect housing from market speculation. We want to help Cambridge create a national model for sustainable and just housing development.
The Missing Middle Housing proposal aims to end exclusionary zoning in a way that changes the luxury status quo in Cambridge's housing market, and creates less expensive, more sustainable options. An economically and socially diverse Cambridge requires this type of housing.

More victims of reckless driving in NYC
A mother of six children suffered life threatening injuries in a car accident in New York City early Tuesday morning. The accident occurred a little bit after midnight. The 32 year old victim identified as Malka Braver was riding in the back of a Honda Accord driven by a Lyft driver. As their car was crossing the intersection of Dekalb Avenue and Bedford Avenue (see Google map picture on the left) with the light in their favor, a reckless driver speeding down Dekalb Avenue in a Dodge Charger blew the red light and T-boned the back of the Lyft car. The impact was so intense that the victim got ejected from the Honda which spun around, crashed into another parked vehicle and jumped the curb to finally stop right in front a the entrance of a deli.

22 year old cyclist dies from his injuries one week after being struck by a car in East New York
A New York cyclist who was struck by a car died from his injuries one week after the accident occurred. On Saturday November 7th around 1:00 am , Juan Tiu-Caxaj was riding his bicycle on Autumn Avenue. As he crossed Fulton Street he collided with a car heading westbound on Fulton Street. The driver stayed at the scene of the accident. He was not charged. The young victim suffered head trauma and was transported to the hospital. His condition was stable but it deteriorated and he died from his injuries a week later.
According to the police, the cyclist rode through a stop sign just before the collision. The investigation is still ongoing to find out the exact cause of the accident.
According to Vision Zero studies, East New York is among the most dangerous areas in New York for bicyclists. However so far not much has been done in this neighborhood to promote bicyclists safety compared to other areas of New York City like Manhattan.

One dead and 11 injured after a fire truck crashed into an ambulance in New York City
A FDNY fire truck crashed into an ambulance killing the patient and injuring 11 others. The truck accident occurred on Thursday around 12:50 am. An ambulance transporting 59 year old Jamil Almansouri, a patient with a cardiac emergency was rushing North on Throop Avenue with its lights and sirens on. As the ambulance crossed the intersection of Myrtle Ave, a FDNY truck responding to a call for an apartment fire with all sirens and lights on as well, t-boned the ambulance. The patient flew across the ambulance and died. Almansouri was a Yemeni immigrant who owned a neighborhood bodega in Brooklyn and known by everybody as "Mike". His sister, Granna Ahmad, who was in the ambulance with him survived, however she suffered multiple personal injuries including a broken back and two broken legs. She also lost all her teeth. The medical technician who was in the back with the deceased victim and his sister also suffered serious injury. The driver of the ambulance was hospitalized and required surgery for a serious leg injury. Six firefighters were also taken to to the hospital as well as two other people who were in a car waiting at a traffic light and whose car was also struck in the crash.
The firemen received a call at 12:43 initially reporting that people were trapped in a building. 6 minutes later the ambulance picked up Alamsouri who was in critical condition and took off for Woodhull Medical Center. Two minutes later, both vehicles crashed into each other, 3 blocks away from the apartment fire. Thankfully, only one resident was living in the building and he was able to escape on his own.
According to preliminary investigations, the ambulance had the green light while the fire truck had the red light. However both vehicles had the right to bypass the light as they were both responding to a 911 emergency. Some protruding scaffolding on a building near the intersection might have blocked the view of the fire truck driver.

Green Zone Reviewed by John Guzdek on Tuesday, March 23rd, 2010.
Matt Damon and Paul Greengrass reunite for this Jason Bourne Goes to Iraq military epic. Well, it's not exactly Jason Bourne, as Matt Damon is now Chief Warrant Officer Roy Miller of the US Army – basically, a clone for the real world. Our hero is looking for Weapons of Mass Destruction during the chaos of post-war Iraq but he comes up against bad intel (that's 'intelligence' to you and me) and a conspiracy that goes way up. Green Zone is inevitably going to incur comparisons to the Bourne Trilogy and The Hurt Locker, Kathryn Bigelow's Oscar-winning Iraq drama, and this is not going to do it any favours.
Whereas The Hurt Locker succeeded in bringing a humanity to the boys over in Iraq, Greengrass never really tries to go further than the two-dimensional stereotypes that we have here. There's the usual suspects – the nasty bureaucrat (Kinnear), the shady guy on the inside (Gleeson) and the hardman with a heart of gold who just wants to know the truth. The conspiracy portion of the film is a little undercooked as the whole war improbably turns out to be one person's fault and the mass double crossing doesn't really appeal when you don't care about any of the characters.
Greengrass does pack in everything that's wrong with the invasion and subsequent occupation of Iraq. At different points he alludes to torture, civillian casualties, paranoia and double standards. This is all done with subtlety and contextually until the climactic meandering chase scene goes all Black Hawk Down and seems to take forever. War torn Iraq does look quite immense as the destruction is shown alongside giant sandstone historical statues and the Baghdad cityscape.
But that is looking at it critically, which most people who come to watch this film will not be doing. For fans of the Bourne series, Green Zone provides the right amount of intrigue, guns, explosions, espionage and shaky-camera fight scenes for those just wanting a light watch. Matt Damon is a likeable lead as he eschews unbending principals and an unshakability as he always seems to have things under control. You can see how Trey Parker and Matt Stone, behind Team America couldn't find anything remarkable about him though. Unfortunately, the normally ever-dependable Brendan Gleeson is a bit of a let-down as throughout the film he just sounds like an Irishman trying to do an American accent but you'd expect him to do better.
The Hurt Locker it ain't, but The Hurt Locker it doesn't try and be.
It's Got: Maatt Damon, a very ill looking Brendan Gleeson, plenty of action and intrigue Bourne-style.
