Introducing Optimail: Email marketing powered by artificial intelligence
Email is a fundamental component of any online marketing strategy. Companies rely on email to acquire new customers, nurture existing relationships, and build customer loyalty. Previously, email campaigns consisted mostly of bulk emails such as newsletters and offers, however our expectations for email communications have risen in recent years: they should feel like relevant, useful conversations, not spam.
Email marketers are constantly experimenting with different email strategies to find the ones that best connect with their customers and drive them toward their goals. For example, they might compare the effectiveness of two different onboarding email campaigns in getting trial members to subscribe to a paid plan, or they might see whether tailoring a campaign to two customer segments (e.g., hobbyists vs. enterprise clients) has a greater ROI than one campaign targeting both segments.
One problem with this process of manually optimizing email strategies is that it's extremely time consuming and expensive. Testing email strategies means creating new email configurations, randomly assigning customers to these configurations, monitoring their behavior on your site (or in your app), then choosing a winner. And this process never ends: once one configuration is shown to be better than another, one must ask whether an as-of-yet-tested campaign might be even better than that one.
A second problem with this manual optimization process is that it's prone to error. As a team of cognitive psychologists and neuroscientists, we're the first to say that while humans are incredibly intelligent, our decision making processes can be relatively slow, prone to biases, and limited in its parallelization. This can make optimizing email campaigns along their many dimensions — including message timing, content, and personalization — a difficult challenge for even veteran marketing experts.
Optimail uses Artificial Intelligence to optimize email campaigns
The ubiquity of emails in our online lives — combined with these problems in figuring out how to make email campaigns most effective — motivated us to build Optimail.
Rather than relying on manually tweaking email campaigns, Optimail offers its users the opportunity to continuously and automatically optimize their email campaigns using artificial intelligence. Marketers can simply draft the emails they want to send (or many versions thereof), define the goals they want these emails to achieve, then sit back and watch as Optimail learns the strategy that drives customers most effectively toward those goals.
While some emails we receive are 'transactional' in nature (e.g., a receipt for a purchase, a tracking number for a package we are sending), Optimail works best for campaigns that have an inherent flexibility in the content and timing of their messages, for example, promotional campaigns for customer acquisition, onboarding campaigns for new customers, and retention campaigns for current customers or customers who have churned. These campaigns give Optimail the freedom to explore with different kinds of messages and message timings to find what works best.
Piloting Optimail
We first piloted Optimail with a personal productivity startup called Checkli, founded by a seasoned marketer who had led two prior startups to successful exits. Understanding the importance of onboarding campaigns, he had designed an email campaign for new users at Checkli to encourage them to explore its different features, download the iOS app, share the app with their friends, and personalize it to their own tastes.
As a first test of Optimail's technology, we asked whether it could optimize the delivery rate and timing of these emails in order to boost engagement with Checkli's web app and iOS app. Would Optimail drive engagement higher than Checkli's existing email campaign, without any manual intervention at all?
To begin, we simply copied Checkli's current emails into a new Optimail campaign. We then defined several goals that we wanted the campaign to drive customers toward: logging in to the apps, creating new checklists, completing tasks, and sharing the app with friends. Of course, we not only wanted Optimail to promote those actions — we also wanted it to discourage other actions, such as unsubscribing from Checkli's emails (thus muting their marketing efforts forever).
We took half of Checkli's new users and subscribed them to the Optimail campaign. We left the other half of users in the regular campaign. What we found after just two months of this experiment was that users subscribed to the Optimail campaign had 25% more engagement with the app while receiving 20% fewer emails. Optimail not only made the campaign more effective in driving app engagement, it was more efficient because it required fewer emails to do so.
Scaling up for launch
Encouraged by our results with Checkli, we shifted development of Optimail into overdrive. We built several new features.
First, we added segmentation. We know that there are sometimes fundamental differences between your customers that need to be considered when creating your email campaign. For example, one sequence of emails may work well for hobbyists but fail for enterprise customers, and vice versa. By allowing you to indicate whether new customers are in one of these special segments, Optimail can learn to tailor your campaigns even more effectively.
Next, we added rules that allow you to specify constraints on Optimail's exploration of email strategies. These rules will be familiar if you've ever built a standard drip marketing campaign. For example, you might specify you want a 'welcome' email to be sent on the first day of your onboarding campaign. Critically, Optimail can be configured not to just send one welcome email, but to test multiple versions of this email to determine which one works best. We also added customer-based rules that constrain emails based on customer properties (e.g., their user segment), action-based rules that constrain emails based on customer actions (e.g., whether or not they have performed some action on your site), and email-based rules that relate emails or email groups together (e.g., if Optimail has sent a 'coupon' email, don't send another coupon email offering the same discount).
Third, we added apps that enable new channels of messaging beyond email. Email is simple and effective, but reaching out to your customers in other ways can sometimes provide a much-needed boost to your campaign's effectiveness. The first app we are launching with Optimail is for Intercom. It allows our users to send Intercom messages (either in-app or via email) alongside the regular emails in their Optimail campaign. We've found huge value in these applications, and more are on the way!
Optimail as a platform consists of two broad components. On the one hand, we have the algorithms that learn about customer behavior and tailor our users campaigns. On the other hand, we have the application that allows our users to manage and monitor their campaigns as well as exposes an API for integrating Optimail into their apps.
Most of Optimail's decisions in tweaking email campaigns are driven by reinforcement learning algorithms. Reinforcement learning is a subfield of machine learning dedicated to the learning how to interact with the environment. It's the same kind of technology that allows a robot to escape a maze, or to beat master players at Go.
Learning from messy human behavior, however, turns out to be quite tricky! We therefore combine asynchronous reinforcement learning algorithms with non-linear function approximation that accounts for behavioral heuristics to reduce convergence time. Through extensive (and ongoing) testing, we find that our algorithms are highly effective at optimizing many kinds of email campaigns.
Our users integrate with Optimail using a simple API for subscribing new customers and tracking their actions. We provide two ways to connect with this API: a JavaScript API for copy-and-paste integration (think Google Analytics), and a REST API (with cURL commands) for other programming languages and more advanced usage.
Underlying the API and the Optimail dashboard is a Laravel app with a Postgres database and a frontend single-page Angular app. Everything's hosted on Heroku, and the app and algorithm communicate through a combination of custom API calls and messaging services.
Launching the private beta, and the future of Optimail
On Friday, we launched Optimail into private beta. We've given a select number of users access to 3 months of Optimail in exchange for feedback on what makes Optimail work for them, and what could be improved in future releases. We're already sending out thousands of emails per day, and hope to be sending tens of thousands by month's end.
Our big vision for Optimail is two-fold. First, as more and more organizations use Optimail to optimize their email marketing campaigns, we plan to keep improving our algorithms. In the process, we'll be making email marketing more effective for our customers, and more engaging for theirs. Second, we want to build on Optimail's founding principle — that AI can solve problems for organizations of all sizes — to build new products beyond email marketing. Imagine an ecosystem where everyone from startups to Fortune 500 companies can leverage the power of AI to connect with their customers and growing their businesses.
Want to try Optimail yourself? We're still taking applications for our private beta: go to Optimail's site to request beta access. We are reviewing every application and will reach out to you as soon as possible!

Q: Could not test angular http interceptor with Karma and Jasmine I am trying to test an http interceptor, and I can't find any way to do it.
I don't know why the url doesn't match because my token is logged in the console and the request url is the same too. I tested all of my other http services using this method without the interceptor and everything passes...
Here is the interceptor class, the code works and add my bearer token in every requests, it uses Ionic Platform native class which is mocked in the test:
@Injectable()
export class AddHeaderInterceptor implements HttpInterceptor {

  public constructor(
      private auth: AuthService, private platform: Platform,
      private config: ConfigurationService
  ) {}

  public intercept(req: HttpRequest<any>, next: HttpHandler): Observable<HttpEvent<any>> {
    console.debug('req', req.url);
    return Observable.fromPromise(this.platform.ready())
      .switchMap(() => Observable.fromPromise(this.auth.getToken()))
      .switchMap((tokens: TokenCacheItem[]) => {
        const baseUrl = new RegExp(this.config.getValue('baseUrl'), 'g');
        if (! req.url.match(baseUrl)) {
          return Observable.of(null);
        }
        if (tokens.length > 0) {
          return Observable.of(tokens[0].accessToken);
        }
        return Observable.throw(null);
      })
      .switchMap((token: string) => {
        console.debug('token', token);
        if (!token || token === null) {
          return next.handle(req);
        }
        const headers = req.headers
          .set('Authorization', `Bearer ${token}`)
          .append('Content-Type', 'application/json');
        const clonedRequest = req.clone({ headers });
        return next.handle(clonedRequest);
    });
  }
}

The token get logged in the karma console, I've also checked the url and always have the good url, but the test failed.
Here is my auth service mock:
export class AuthServiceMock {
  getToken() {
    return Promise.resolve([
      { accessToken: 'TEST' }
    ]);
  }
}

The Platform mock:
export class PlatformMock {
  public ready(): Promise<string> {
    return Promise.resolve('READY');
  }
}

And here is the test:
describe('AddHeaderInterceptor Service', () => {

  let http: HttpTestingController;
  let httpClient: HttpClient;
  let auth: AuthService;

  beforeEach(() => {
    TestBed.configureTestingModule({
      imports: [HttpClientTestingModule],
      providers: [
        ConfigurationService,
        {
          provide: HTTP_INTERCEPTORS,
          useClass: AddHeaderInterceptor,
          multi: true,
        },
        { provide: Platform, useClass: PlatformMock },
        { provide: LogService, useClass: LogServiceMock },
        { provide: AuthService, useClass: AuthServiceMock }
      ],
    });
    http = TestBed.get(HttpTestingController);
    httpClient = TestBed.get(HttpClient);
    auth = TestBed.get(AuthService);
  });

  it('should add Auth header to request', () => {
    httpClient.get('/test').subscribe(res => expect(res).toBeTruthy());
    const req = http.expectOne({ method: 'GET' });
    expect(req.request.url.includes('test')).toBeTruthy();
    expect(req.request.headers.has('Authorization')).toBeTruthy();
    expect(req.request.headers.get('Authorization')).toEqual('Bearer TEST');
    req.flush({
      hello: 'world'
    });
  });
});

I always got the same error :

Error: Expected one matching request for criteria "Match method: GET, URL: (any)", found none.

It looks like the request is never launched, I've tried to create a class instance and call directly the intercept method and I already got the same error.
I tried to spy the getTokenmethod from the auth service and it's never called.
So I don't know why it failed.
I've tried to call another service with another url and I still got the same error.
I tried to use absolute or relative urls with http.expectOne('http://localhost:8080/test') and it's still the same:

Expected one matching request for criteria "Match URL:
  http://localhost:8080/test", found none.

Anybody has an idea?

A: I find a solution using the karma done function and constructing directly the Addheader object:
fdescribe('AddHeaderInterceptor Service', () => {

  let http: HttpTestingController;
  let httpClient: HttpClient;
  let auth: AuthService;
  let logger: LogService;
  let config: ConfigurationService;
  let platform: Platform;
  let interceptor: AddHeaderInterceptor;

  beforeEach(() => {
    TestBed.configureTestingModule({
      imports: [HttpClientTestingModule],
      providers: [
        ConfigurationService,
        {
          provide: HTTP_INTERCEPTORS,
          useClass: AddHeaderInterceptor,
          multi: true,
        },
        { provide: Platform, useClass: PlatformMocked },
        { provide: LogService, useClass: LogServiceMock },
        { provide: AuthService, useClass: AuthServiceMock }
      ],
    });
    config = TestBed.get(ConfigurationService);
    auth = TestBed.get(AuthService);
    logger = TestBed.get(LogService);
    platform = TestBed.get(Platform);
    httpClient = TestBed.get(HttpClient);
    http = TestBed.get(HttpTestingController);
    interceptor = new AddHeaderInterceptor(logger, auth, platform, config);
  });

  fit('should add header to request', (done) => {
    expect((interceptor as any) instanceof AddHeaderInterceptor).toBeTruthy();
    const next: any = {
      handle: (request: HttpRequest<any>) => {
        expect(request.headers.has('Authorization')).toBeTruthy();
        expect(request.headers.get('Authorization')).toEqual('Bearer TESTO');
        return Observable.of({ hello: 'world' });
      }
    };
    const req = new HttpRequest<any>('GET', config.getValue('baseUrl') + 'test');
    interceptor.intercept(req, next).subscribe(obj => done());
  });

});

A: I ran into the same scenario when I started using the same fromPromise -> switchMap pattern in my interceptor. That seems to cause the issue with testing (though the code seems to work fine). Without the call to the promise, it works fine.
No idea why - but your testing solution worked for me. Thanks!

Q: How to use read (get/use) internal sitecore flags icons? does anyone know how to read internal sitecore flags ?(\sitecore\shell\Themes\Standard\flags.zip)
Does sitecore has some API for this operation ?
I would like to create my country selector based on this flags.
Thanks.

A: You can get all languages in Sitecore using LanguageManager.GetLanguages method. Then use GetIcon method on any of the laguages to get the flag of the language:
LanguageCollection languages = LanguageManager.GetLanguages(Sitecore.Context.Database);
languages[0].GetIcon(Sitecore.Context.Database);

This will result in /Flags/16x16/flag_usa.png and you need to add /~/icon ath the beginning, e.g. /~/icon/Flags/16x16/flag_usa.png
You can get a list of all files in the flags.zip using the code:
string[] files = Sitecore.Resources.ZippedIcon.GetFiles("flags", "/sitecore/shell/themes/standard/flags.zip");

Also check other methods from ZippedIcon class (e.g. GetStream).

Lets work together to make raw food something that all can enjoy, not just the super privileged.
Hi all! I'm looking for folks who want to start a radical worker owned raw food cooperative in portland, or although people from neighboring towns are welcome to participate.
Projects that I had been brainstorming for the coop would be making handmade zines and ebooks, foraging workshops, cheap donation based underground cafe and well as maybe renting spaces for fancy raw food meals. Doing benefits for animal and earth rights prisoners and hosting talking events about GMO issues, etc. Also we can order food in bulk and share the wealth and discounts.
This is not about making money, so it need not be a full time job for anyone.We also really need someone who can make a website or blog page. Decisions in the group will be made on consensus basis not majority rule. Profits made by the coop will be distributed to those in the coop who express the most need at a particular time as well as putting them into future projects. All interested can email me at circleakitchen(at)yahoo.com.

Przyrów ist eine ehemalige Stadt, jetzt ein Dorf und Sitz der gleichnamigen Gemeinde im Powiat Częstochowski der Woiwodschaft Schlesien in Polen.

Geschichte
Die Stadt Przirow wurde im Jahr 1369 auf dem Grund des Dorfs Komorów von Jakub Rechicki von Nagłowice nach dem Neumarkter Recht gegründet. Der Ortsname, der oft zwischen den Formen Przerów und Przyrów wachselte, ist topographischer Herkunft und bezeichnete einen Ort przy rowie (bei dem Graben; altkirchenslawisch Přerovъ - Graben, siehe auch Přerov), oder vom Appelativ *przyrowa.

Um das Jahr 1600 war Przerów bzw. Przyrów mit über 1000 Einwohnern die zweitgrößte Stadt im Kreis Lelów (nach Częstochowa) in der Woiwodschaft Krakau in der Adelsrepublik Polen-Litauen. Die Pfarrei umfasste damals außer der Stadt nur die Ortschaften Zarębice und Wiercice. In der Mitte des 17. Jahrhunderts durch die Schwedische Sintflut und von der Lubomirski-Konföderation wurde die Stadt fast komplett zerstört.

Im Zuge der zweiten polnischen Teilung kam die Stadt 1793 an Preußen. 1807 kam sie ins Herzogtum Warschau und 1815 ins neu entstandene russisch beherrschte Kongresspolen. Ab dem späten 18. Jahrhundert lebten in Przyrów Juden (1880: 1260 von 2933 Einwohnern), die eine Synagoge und einen Friedhof bauten. 1870 verlor der Ort mit 14 anderen Städten im Gouvernement Piotrków das Stadtrecht im Zusammenhang der Repressionen nach dem Januaraufstand.

Nach dem Ende des Ersten Weltkriegs kam Przyrów zu Polen, Woiwodschaft Kielce. Im Jahr 1921 gab es in der städtischen Siedlung Przyrów, im Sitz der gleichnamigen Gemeinde im Powiat Częstochowski der Woiwodschaft Kielce 283 Häuser mit 2453 Einwohnern, es waren überwiegend polnische Römisch-Katholiken, es gab auch 802 Juden. In der Zeit der deutschen Besetzung Polens im Zweiten Weltkrieg befand sich der Ort im Generalgouvernements.

Von 1975 bis 1998 gehörte Przyrów zur Woiwodschaft Częstochowa.

Ab dem späten Jahr 2022 strebt Przyrów an Wiedererlangung des Stadtrechts, nach dem Beispiel von Olsztyn.

Croatian Language Course Ends
Zagreb, Center for Asylum Seekers Porin – October 19th, 2018 – Students received diplomas for a successfully finished Croatian language course.
A ceremony was held in the Center for Asylum seekers Porin in Zagreb for the students who successfully finished Croatian language course organized by Croatian Baptist Aid.
Croatian language course was done in 140 hours of class after which the students took an A1 category exam of Croatian language proficiency. The course was done according to the program for Croatian language for foreigners and the standard modules. The test was done according to the standard frame for language testing (CFCR).
End exam had two parts, a written and an oral part in which the students gave a presentation in Croatian about the country they are coming from with the help of video and Powerpoint presentation. The students were graded by mag. Noemi Kreko and prof. Nataša Stojanovski, who with their effort and motivation managed to successfully bring the course to its end.
After the exam was held, Toma Magda, CBA Director, gave the students their diplomas. A student from the Philippines had the best result, 95 % of accuracy.
Students' family members, friends, workers in the Center, as well as the colleagues from other humanitarian organizations working in Porin, were all present at the ceremony.
A big logistical help during the course was given by Croatian Baptist Aid Coordinator, Željko Čanji, as well as the interpreter, Omid Noghandost.
After the ceremony there was a small banquet. What was encouraging, not just the knowledge gained and efforts of the teachers and students, were the questions of the students for a higher level Croatian language course to be held in the future. The students' wish is to be better prepared for the process of integration, and in that they recognized the importance of knowing the language and the culture as the first step in that process.

https://ufile.io/nryil
For some reason my code doesn't work. I've been messing with it for a day now. I'm kind of new to powershell so I'm not sure if this is something that's not capable, or if I'm missing something, but this is the latest code.
$username = username
$password = password
$ie = New-Object -com InternetExplorer.Application

I also just downloaded IMacros free trial to see how it's responding. I captured the below
element = driver.findElement(By.id("btnLogin_label"));
element.click();
element = driver.findElement(By.class("dijitOffScreen"));
element.click();

I even tried the below code after seeing that and still got nothing.
    $link = $ie.Document.IHTMLDocument3_getElementById('btnLogin_Label') | Where-Object {$_.class -eq 'dijitOffScreen'}
    $link.click

If I switch it to the below I get a "overload definitions void click()"
  $link = $ie.Document.IHTMLDocument3_getElementById('btnLogin_Label')

The rotors are optimized by combining high-quality cast materials and a cross drilled surface resulting in superior braking performance.
Since 2008 Zimmermann started offering Sports Brake Rotors in a coated version called "Coat Z – Anti Corrosion". Coat Z prevents the formation of rust at the hub and outer surface of the rotors. Coat Z allows Zimmermann to package the rotors without any rust preventative grease on the rotors like other manufactures use, allowing for the rotors to be installed right from the box.
For more than five decades, Otto Zimmermann has been developing, producing and selling sophisticated vehicle components for car manufacturers and the free spare parts market. Zimmermann discs have already proven their reliability and performance in the first vehicles that were equipped with disc brakes.
Since relocating in 1990 Otto Zimmermann GmbH has been systematically expanding its administrative premises, production facilities and warehousing space to over 17.000 square meters.
The parts are manufactured on latest production lines matching the quality criteria of the automotive industry. Computer-controlled robots and drilling machines guarantee shortest production times and ensure constant quality on a very high level.
The actual production program includes more than 2,000 different brake and engine components marketed to more than 60 different countries worldwide.
The long term aim of Otto Zimmermann GmbH is to have a cost effective and extensive share in all the important motor vehicle markets worldwide. Furthermore, Otto Zimmermann GmbH wants to fulfill all market demands with a wide range of products to reasonable prices.


Getting plenty of the 'sunshine vitamin' has never been so important! In fact, a recent study highlighted the fact that 1 in 3 people globally is vitamin D deficient – and Europeans are more at risk than North Americans! We manufacture Vitamin D in our skin from the suns rays yet most of us now spend our days indoors and slather on the suncream when out in the sun so we never really get chance to make it.
The old UK RDA levels of 400iu per day are currently being reviewed and new, much higher levels considered. As Dr Janyne Althaus discusses, this is particularly important for pregnant Mums as the baby's demand for vit D increases greatly in the later months of pregnancy when bone formation is taking place yet Mum is at risk of deficiency if her own Vitamin D stores are too low.
Now that we have passed the Autumn Equinox and the days are getting gradually shorter, the suns rays are no longer strong enough to give us the UVB rays needed for the manufacture of vitamin D in our skin. Supplementing with it throughout winter is therefore a sensible and safe option – if you don't like swallowing capsules or pills, try one of the new vitamin D sprays that are available and take at least 1000iu per day.
Stress as a risk factor for Alzheimer's disease?
One of the most feared signs of ageing has to be memory loss. Forgetting the names, faces and memories of those you love and what you enjoy about your life. In the UK alone there are 800,000 people living with dementia and because we have an ageing population, this number is set to rise rapidly over the next few years.
The term 'Mild Cognitive Impairment' covers the early signs of memory loss and dementia; 60% of people diagnosed with MCI will go on to develop Alzheimer's Disease, the most common form of dementia.
Currently, there are many theories as to how and why Alzheimer's develops. One of these theories is the link between stress and dementia and scientists at the University of Southampton are carrying out a 3 year research project investigating the connections between stress and mental decline.
Two groups of participants will be followed, one group with MCI and the other without. Stressful life events will be tracked, along with measurements of immune function and stress hormones to see how the stress response affects the progression of MCI to dementia.
Stress, whether we cope well with it or not, is a major part of our lives and increases the effects of risk factors for many chronic diseases including hypertension, heart disease and cancer. The results of this study will prove hugely interesting and may provide more clues as to how we can reduce the negative effects of stress and ageing on our minds.

Check Out Japan's Answer To The Amazon Echo! [Video]
Posted on: Dec 16, 2016 in: Gadgets
Credit: Vinclu Inc
Think the Amazon Echo or Echo Dot is good? You may think Siri and Cortana are excellent too but nothing compares to the Azuma Hikari. It's an actual holographic character that lives in a sort of large technological jar. It's Japan's answer to the Amazon Echo...well sort of, I'll explain.
The jar is called the Gatebox and has a screen and a projector which brings the hologram Hikari to life inside the gadget. You've got microphones, cameras and sensors on the outside which detect temperature and motion which makes the experience slightly more realistic.
So what can the virtual girl do then? Well it can control your smart home equipment, recognise your face and your voice, basically its a little companion for you. It can also let you know what you've got planned that day, remind you of things that you need to remember and greet you when you come home from work or wake up in the morning.
You can converse with her too, albeit in Japanese, and she will recognize what you are saying. She has a limited vocabulary but learns as time goes on. You can also chat with her through the chat application which is available on both Android and iOS. You can also send and receive messages when you're away from home because it has a permanent internet connection. It also has Bluetooth connectivity and can also be linked up to your TV using a HDMI connection.
I think this is the perfect gadget for anyone who lives on their own and would be great also for the elderly. In Japan, single-person households are the largest housing segment so artificial intelligent assistants such as these are perfect.
You can only pre-order them at the minute and they will work in the US, though I wouldn't rush out to get one unless you understand Japanese. They're priced at 298,000 yen which is about $2,500 and there are only 300 units available until the end of January 2017.
I do think AI needs to improve to the point where you can have a natural conversations, as it feels very clunky and robotic at the moment. But I don't think this will take very long as AI is a rapidly advancing field.
What are you thoughts? Let me know in the comments below.

10 Top-Rated Things to Do in Lyme Regis, Dorset
The small town of Lyme Regis in Dorset has a lot going for it. Situated in southwest England, "Lyme," as it's affectionately referred to by locals and returning visitors, is not only extremely picturesque, it also boasts no end of fun things to do.

Must-visit tourist attractions include Lyme's famous harbor wall. Known as The Cobb, the origins of this stunning curving sea wall can be traced all the way back to the reign of Edward I in the late 13th century.
But Lyme's history goes back even farther, with fun places to visit such as the kid-friendly Dinosaurland being dedicated to telling a story that goes back as far as the Jurassic period.
To learn more about these and the many other world-class attractions in this picture-perfect English seaside town, be sure to read through our list of the top things to do in Lyme Regis, Dorset.
1. Walk along The Cobb

The best-known of Lyme Regis' historic landmarks, The Cobb is an ancient sea wall that can trace its roots all the way back to the 13th century.
Once an integral part of one of England's most important naval ports, The Cobb has since been rebuilt and improved numerous times down the centuries, with the present-day version constructed in the early 1800s.
Built from locally quarried stone, this marvel of engineering snakes its way from the shoreline some 870 feet, providing an impenetrable obstacle for the sometimes-rough seas of the English Channel.
The views back over Lyme Regis and out to sea from its end point are fabulous, and inspired the famous book and movie, The French Lieutenant's Woman.
But don't just stroll along The Cobb for the great views. Watch the town's fishing fleet come and go, or better still, grab a fishing charter and catch something of your own.
Or, if you'd prefer to get a close-up look at native marine life, pop into the Lyme Regis Marine Aquarium. There's also a small, often overlooked beach here that's popular with pet-owners and parents alike.
Address: Cobb Road, Lyme Regis, Dorset
2. Explore the Past at Lyme Regis Museum

Lyme Regis Museum is a great place to learn more about the town's rich history. Located on the seafront in the heart of the old town, this first-rate museum features exhibits on the history of the town and its people.
It also offers plenty of information on the history of the Jurassic Coast, a 95-mile-long stretch of coastline that's now been designated a World Heritage Site. The building itself is well worth a look on its own.
The former residence of a local businessman, this architectural gem was constructed in 1901 on the site of the home where the town's most famous resident, Mary Anning, was born. Anning became well-known as one of the country's most respected paleontologists, and the museum features fascinating exhibits on her life and work.
Other exhibits feature artifacts and displays relating to John Fowles, author of the must-read novel, The French Lieutenant's Woman, and Jane Austen, who was known to have holidayed here.
Additional highlights include spectacular views over the coast, a learning center for the kids, as well as displays of Lyme-related artwork.

Just a short stroll away from the Lyme Regis Museum, a visit to Dinosaurland is regarded as one of the top things to do in Dorset.
Set in an old church and established 1989, the many hands-on displays in this excellent attraction have helped young and old alike gain a better understanding of the ancient creatures that once called the Jurassic Coast home.
In addition to its dinosaur models and bones, the museum houses an impressive collection of fossils, many of them found locally. Interesting displays also explain the significance of the fossils found here, and explain how Lyme Regis became a major center for the study of these ancient creatures.
In addition to its well-stocked souvenir shop, guided tours are available. For a truly memorable learning experience, join one of the museum's regular fossil-hunting tours. These fascinating guided tours take in some of the most important fossil sites in Lyme, including Monmouth Beach, where fossils can be easily spotted.

You can easily combine a visit to The Cobb, the town's top attraction and most important historical landmark, with a visit to Lyme Regis Marine Aquarium.
Located halfway along the old harbor wall, the aquarium features a fascinating array of local marine life, including a variety of fish species, hermit crabs, sea scorpions, and even starfish.
The focus here is on learning. In addition to the sea creatures themselves, visitors can peruse exhibits and displays that provide information on these fascinating creatures as well as their natural habitats along the Jurassic Coast.
As well as hands-on feeding experiences, kids love the unique opportunity to actually touch the fish and crustaceans housed here.
Editor's note: Be sure to buy tickets in advance online, as the property does not accept debit or credit card payments.

With roots that date as far back as 1340, the Town Mill in Lyme Regis offers a fascinating look at the workings of a traditional flour milling facility.
Not only can you see the mill's old water-powered grain mill in action, you can actually chat to the volunteer staff operating the machinery, as well as purchase the flour produced here in the on-site store. Guided tours of the mill are also available.
Afterwards, be sure to explore the interesting art galleries and studios located on the premises. Here you'll find the work of local artists and crafts people on display and available for purchase.
Wander past the mill along the original medieval cobbled courtyard and you'll wind up in the Miller's Garden, a quiet oasis from the bustling restaurants and shops.

As you walk along the Lyme Regis promenade or relax on the beach, glance upwards and you'll notice an immaculately manicured park climbing up from the shoreline to the crest of the hill overlooking Lyme Bay.
Known as Langmoor and Lister Gardens, this extensive green space is a delightful place to spend some time.
In addition to it its more formal gardens and flowerbeds, you'll find an array of great sightseeing opportunities, not least of which are the incredible views toward the seafront and over The Cobb. Numerous park benches are available in case you want to linger a little longer while enjoying the views.
Delve a little deeper into the park and you'll find an excellent network of pathways leading through a sculpture garden featuring artwork from local artists, a shady woodland walk, as well as a fun mini-golf course. Visit at night and you'll find this delightful park and its trails lit up.

Able to trace its roots back to the 1880s, the Marine Theater continues to entertain visitors to Lyme Regis.
Located overlooking the seafront just a short distance from the Lyme Regis Museum and the picturesque Lyme Regis Guildhall, the venue regularly features an eclectic mix of live concerts, theatrical performances, comedy, and movies (movie star James Cagney once performed here!).
It's also a popular spot to relax and unwind before or after performances. In addition to offering great views, the lounge area regularly hosts musicians performing everything from pop classics to sea shanties. And, for those interested in learning more about theater production and acting, a number of fun programs are available for adults and kids.
Address: Church Street, Lyme Regis, Dorset

Whether you're a churchgoer, a history buff, or simply enjoy exploring old buildings, you'll want to include St. Michael the Archangel Church on your Lyme Regis itinerary.
Perched on a hill looking down on the town and the seafront, this well-preserved Medieval church was built in the 12th century and boasts incredible views from the numerous benches lining its cliff top.
It's as attractive an old church on the inside as it is the outside. Interior highlights include its stained-glass windows, one of which was added in 1904 to commemorate local resident and fossil-hunter Mary Anning. You can also search for Anning's gravesite (she was buried here in 1847).
Address: Church St, Lyme Regis, Dorset
10. Hunt for Fossils on Monmouth Beach
Monmouth Beach | Photo Copyright: Bryan Dearsley
Ever since local resident and amateur paleontologist Mary Anning identified the first fossilized specimens here in the early 1880s, Lyme Regis has been the place go for those who enjoy fossil hunting.
While there are a variety of locations along the seashore to spot these ancient relics, none offer up quite the treasure trove that can be seen on Monmouth Beach.
Here, among the mounds of pebbles that line the beach, you won't have to look too hard to find fossils dating back hundreds of millions of years, many simply washing ashore as the sea slowly erodes the surrounding cliffs. In many cases, you'll find examples of sea anemones that can easily be picked up by even the smallest of hands.
Be sure to also look out for the unique the Ammonite Pavement. This fascinating natural phenomena can be seen on the limestone ledges lining the beach, each displaying a vast number of fossils.
A word of warning, though: be aware that fossils are not permitted to be removed from the cliff face due to the potential for rockfalls (though those specimens washed up on the beach are fair game!).
A variety of fun, informative fossil hunting walks and tours can be arranged through local museums and attractions such as Dinosaurland.

In UN MUNDO EN ROTACIÓN, the author describes the deductive process followed that led to the Theory of Dynamic Interactions (TDI). This theory proposes new keys to explaining the dynamics of our environment and understanding the universe. Furthermore, it studies inertial forces and incorporates inertial reactions, specifically the concept of the gyroscopic torque, to the structure of a new, rotational dynamics of accelerated systems. The proposed theory generalises these dynamic concepts which had become de-structured in classical mechanics, and enables us to confirm and understand the physical and mathematical correlation that holds between orbiting and intrinsic rotation and, therefore, the reason why we have day and night on Earth.
The book explains TDI rotational dynamics' hypotheses with numerous experiments and puts forward a host of behavioural situations as patent examples of it, arguing that the classical laws of mechanics, though fully valid and proven, exclusively refer to situations of translational movement in inertial systems, when in the universe and in nature, movement normally manifests itself by way of accelerations, especially in rotational dynamics circumstances.
As a result, this work calls for greater interest by the physical sciences in the examination of non-inertial, accelerated systems and points to the need to develop scientific research programmes to assess and analyse these systems, until such time as the Theory of Dynamic Interactions is confirmed, generalised and, where appropriate, applied in a wide range of scientific and technological fields.

Q: Getting error executable file not found in $PATH when trying verbose run docker container or when docker exec I am trying to containerize my vue-js app: and below is my docker file:
FROM node:9.11.1-alpine

# install simple http server for serving static content
RUN npm install -g http-server

# make the 'app' folder the current working directory
WORKDIR /app

# copy both 'package.json' and 'package-lock.json' (if available)
COPY package*.json ./

# install project dependencies
RUN npm install

# copy project files and folders to the current working directory (i.e. 'app' folder)
COPY . .

# build app for production with minification
RUN npm run build

EXPOSE 8080
CMD [ "http-server", "dist" ]

when I try to run docker with verbose flag -v I get this error:
$ docker run -it vue-js-app -v
docker: Error response from daemon: oci runtime error: container_linux.go:265: starting container process caused "exec: \"-v\": executable file not found in $PATH".

and without -v flag I get the below:
$ docker run -it vue-js-app
Starting up http-server, serving dist
Available on:
  http://127.0.0.1:8080
  http://172.17.0.3:8080
Hit CTRL-C to stop the server

and then if I try to enter the container:
$ docker exec -it 0778c0e3ae05  bash
oci runtime error: exec failed: container_linux.go:265: starting container process caused "exec: \"bash\": executable file not found in $PATH"

I get same error , but navigating to ip address with port i get page not found

A: The format of the docker container run command is:
Usage:  docker container run [OPTIONS] IMAGE [COMMAND] [ARG...]

So, when you execute docker run -it vue-js-app -v, the -v is being passed to the container as the command, replacing the command specified in the Dockerfile (CMD [ "http-server", "dist" ]). This results in the message "executable file not found in $PATH" because there is not a command named -v in the container.
If you are trying to pass -v to http-server, you have to repeat the existing command in the Dockerfile.
docker container run -it vue-js-app http-server dist -v

This will run http-server dist -v in the container.
As for executing a shell in the container, bash is not found in $PATH because bash is not installed in the image. node:9.11.1-alpine is based on Alpine Linux, which uses ash as the default shell. So, you should use ash to execute a shell process in your running container.
docker container exec -it 0778c0e3ae05 ash

A: You write: "get same error , but navigating to ip address with port i get page not found".
This is because you do not map the port. You EXPOSE it, bu you should also map it. Find information in docker docs in the reference for the run command under header:
 EXPOSE (incoming ports):
https://docs.docker.com/v1.13/engine/reference/run/

-P         : Publish all exposed ports to the host interfaces.
  -p=[]      : Publish a container᾿s port or a range of ports to the host
                 format: ip:hostPort:containerPort | ip::containerPort | hostPort:containerPort | containerPort
                 Both hostPort and containerPort can be specified as a
                 range of ports. When specifying ranges for both, the
                 number of container ports in the range must match the
                 number of host ports in the range, for example: -p 1234-1236:1234-1236/tcp
  When specifying a range for hostPort only, the
                 containerPort must not be a range.  In this case the
                 container port is published somewhere within the
                 specified hostPort range. (e.g., -p 1234-1236:1234/tcp) (use 'docker port' to see the actual mapping)


A good radio station business plan is the cornerstone to a successful radio station business, and before you turn the knobs that will put you on the air, you must create a solid radio station business plan for your proposed business.
A radio station can be a very good and very lucrative business, but it is one of the most competitive industries as well. That is why a radio station business plan is so important.
A radio station business plan will help you decide where to focus your limited startup resources. In addition, that radio station business plan will help you attract the startup funding your new radio station will need to buy property, obtain equipment and hire employees.
A detailed radio station business plan will also help you determine which government programs, like low interest loans and grants, you may be eligible for. There are many different loan and grant programs for all types of businesses, and your radio station business plan can help you land some of these valuable funds.
Even if you are not qualified for these government grants, your radio station business plan can help you borrow the money you need to buy or rent property for the business, to hire the employees that will run it and to buy the equipment needed to get it on the air.
When you are structuring your business, the radio station business plan will help you to structure it properly in order to maximize the efficiency of the business while lowing your tax liability and legal issues. A radio station business plan is the key to all these great benefits.
Those who have never completed a radio station business plan before are sometimes unsure of what it should contain. A radio station business plan contains many elements, depending on the exact nature of the business and what information is available at the time.
Most radio station business plan programs will include obvious things like the name of the business, the address of the business, the owner of the business, any officers involved in the business, etc.
In addition, if applicable the radio station business plan should include information on any property the radio station may own, any assets it may owe and any liabilities it may owe.
For all these reasons a radio station business plan is important to the long term success of any radio station.

AmeriVet Weekly Muni Snapshot
Municipal New Issuance: The final week of April had a total volume of just over $10 billion with the largest deal of the week taking up almost a third of the issuance. University of California Regents issued $3 billion bonds last week with $1.1 billion of it being taxable bonds. Michigan Finance Authority issued $900 million in revenue bonds. Although the calendar looked fairly large for the week, it should also be noted that the bulk of the issuance came from just six issuances. One interesting note regarding University of California deal was that they downsized the taxable portion by $600 million and shuffled those bonds over the tax-exempt portion as investors had more interest in the tax-exempt bonds as well as taxable bonds have underperformed more than tax-exempt bonds.
Municipal Secondary Trading: The final week of April was very volatile with secondary trading totaling to over $54 billion for the week. This was one of the largest trading weeks we have seen since the March 2020. With a very active secondary, we continue to see high number of bids-wanted from clients. According to Bloomberg, clients put up $ 9.6 billion in bids-wanted smashing the previous weeks high of $8.24 billion.
Municipal Spread: Municipal bonds had a quiet week to close out a rough month as yields only rose slightly, with 10-year notes rising by just 3 basis-points to 2.71%. To start the month, 10-year notes were at 2.26% and on January 1st, yields were at 1.06%, a 165 basis-points difference. With the no movement in US Treasuries this week, municipal bonds did lag compared to Treasuries as 10-year ratios are now at 93.14%. Those ratios did hit 98.38% on Tuesday April 26th, the highest since November 2020. We also saw a slight steepening of the curve as the gap between yields on short-term and long-term notes steepened by 0.8 basis points to 85 basis-points for the week.
For the 11th straight week investors pulled money of municipal-bond mutual funds last week to the sum of about $2.88 billion according to Refinitiv Lipper US Fund Flows data. This outflow follows the prior week's outflow of $3.5 billion and marks a total streak of losses of $47.4 billion, with investors withdrawing $45.9 billion from municipal funds year-to-date.
Taxable municipal bonds were one of the bright spots in 2020 and 2021, but for 2022 that is a different story. Even as other fixed income asset classes have struggled mightily this year taxable municipal bonds are among the worst performers so far. Taxable municipals have underperformed and have fallen by 12.6% so far this year, while tax-exempt bonds have fallen by just 8.6%, corporate bonds are down just 12%, and Treasuries have declined by just 8%. With a rising rate environment, taxable municipals have struggled to make any returns as they have an average duration of 9.2 years while investment grade corporates have an average duration of 8 years, and the longer out in the curve, you see the worst returns. With taxable bonds being down, so has issuance this year, with issuers just selling $21.7 billion in long term notes this year, a decrease of 37% from the same period last year.

Rs 91 Lakh seized from Maharashtra Cabinet Minister Subhash Deshmukh's vehicle
Posted on November 18, 2016 July 8, 2017
Following the diktat of the NDA Government declaring the demonetizing of higher denomination notes, black money hoarders are struggling in hiding their stockpiled 'unaccounted wealth'.
Opposition members of both Congress and NCP are asking for a sacking of Maharashtra Cooperative Minister Subhash Deshmukh after police found Rs 91 Lakh worth of cash in vehicle belonging to the minister.
Opposition has also sought an enquiry by Income Tax department into bank transactions of state BJP leaders to "unearth black money".
Osmanabad (Maha): Rs 91.5 lakh in cash seized from a vehicle that allegedly belongs to Subhash Deshmukh; Opposition demands his resignation. pic.twitter.com/JnZlbcSHt3
— ANI (@ANI_news) November 18, 2016
"Recovery of cash proves that BJP leaders are in the possession of black money. Since the government has launched a campaign against black money and corruption, properties of the BJP leaders should be searched to unearth black money", said an opposition member of Maharashtra.
Some minister were also asking for a sacking of the minister. According to reports, cash worth over Rs. 91 lakh belonging to Lokmangal Group of the minister was seized by the squad of Osmanabad municipality. The cash reportedly comprised of the now-invalid tender of Rs. 1000.
The minister was unavailable to make comments on this startling revelation. Meanwhile, state unit of Congress Sachin Sawant has demanded a probe by I-T department into the bank accounts of prominent BJP leaders in the state and the transactions made into them in the last six months.
"There is a possibility that BJP leaders and minister in Maharashtra and Mumbai might also be aware of the decision in advance. So there is a need to probe their accounts," Sawant said in a statement.
There is another case in which the brother of a BJP lawmaker was caught with cash in the tune of Rs. 6 crores in western Maharashtra.

Le  il est envoyé par ce dernier à la poursuite de Louis XVI, qui s'est enfui de Paris avec femme et enfants au cours de la nuit précédente et dont la fuite sera arrêtée, le soir même, à Varennes.

Le , il est nommé capitaine au  de dragons, et, en 1792, il fait partie de l'état-major de l'armée commandée par le général de La Fayette. Pris avec La Fayette par les Autrichiens le , il est prisonnier de ceux-ci quelque temps. Libéré avec ses deux autres frères, il s'exile à Londres en 1793. Rentré en France peu de jours avant le Coup d'État du 18 fructidor an V (), il est chargé par le directeur François Barthélemy de réclamer auprès du général Bonaparte qui traite des préliminaires du Traité de Campo-Formio, la libération par les Autrichiens des officiers généraux faits prisonniers le , actuellement en captivité au château d'Olmütz en Moravie.

Frappé par les décrets du 18 fructidor an V (), comme prévenu d'émigration, il se réfugie dans le Holstein danois, mais il ne tarde pas à être admis, ainsi que son frère, Jacques Alexandre Romeuf, à faire partie de l'expédition d'Égypte.

A driver involved in a crash that killed a 20-year-old Concord man pleaded not guilty to charges of negligent homicide Thursday.
Joseph Leonard Jr., 36, of Derry, waived his right to a bail hearing after being charged with three alternative counts of negligent homicide for the death of Tyler Shaw on Oct. 30.
While out on bail, Leonard will not be permitted to consume drugs or alcohol, carry weapons of any kind or have contact with Shaw's family.
Leonard will be monitored by the county's pretrial services program until his next hearing in open court. The monitoring includes random drug tests, a curfew and GPS tracking.
Shaw was killed April 30, after a crash on Logging Hill Road in Bow where Leonard allegedly failed to stop at a stop sign at the end of the Interstate 89 Exit 1 off-ramp.
The Merrimack County Attorney's Office has said Leonard was traveling at excessive speeds and was intoxicated when he hit Shaw. Leonard's blood alcohol content on that night exceeded the legal limit of 0.08 percent, prosecutors said.
The maximum sentence for negligent homicide in New Hampshire is 15 years. Leonard is being represented by Donald Blaszka Jr., a criminal defense lawyer from Derry who focuses primarily on motor vehicle matters and DUI cases, according to his website.
Shaw was working for a construction company in Bow when he died, and had plans to move out to Montana this year to pursue his HVAC license. He was a 2015 graduate of Concord High School.
In the six months since he died, Shaw's friends and family have been open about their wish for someone to be held accountable for his death.
Within the last month, a yellow sign with red lettering reading, "JUSTICE FOR TSHAW – WHEN WILL IT HAPPEN???" was placed on Logging Hill Road.

Home / About the Park
Technology Parks
Explore and engage in Western Australia's two premier locations for fostering economically diverse, technologically driven and innovative enterprises.
1. TECHNOLOGY PARK WA
Technology Park WA (TPWA) is a Western Australian Government initiative developed with the following objectives to:
• Support emerging local companies seeking to develop and export diverse technology based products, services and intellectual property;
• Encourage active collaboration between the private and public sector technology development initiatives;
• Attract international technology-focused companies and research organisations to locate their operations to Western Australia;
• Promote commercialisation of research and development in association with local research centres and universities;
• Create and maintain international and national strategic links.
• Provide modern common-use economic infrastructure to further growth and economic diversity.
TPWA is located just 6 kilometres from the central business district of Perth and was established as the first such facility in Australia in 1985. Designated land was declared and gazetted according to legislation in 1986. Adjoining land currently occupied by the Department of Agriculture and Food in the locality of Kensington was also gazetted as Technology Park in 2007. This extended the TPWA area established and managed by the Minister under section 6(e) of the Industry and Technology Development Act 1998.
Developments within TPWA and associated land of some 60 hectares are controlled by the special use zoning for research and development within the Kensington locality by the City of South Perth, and within the Bentley locality by the Town of Victoria Park.
In over 30 years of operation, TPWA continues to serve as important common-use infrastructure for further technology development in Western Australia and a hub of diverse and emerging technologies. Many leading local, national and international technology companies are based at TPWA, including suppliers of technology to global markets in pharmaceuticals, digital and information technology, resources processing and clean technologies.
Limited professional office space is available for periodic leasing within TPWA. Further information is available here:

Murray Darling Basin Royal Commission on track
Royal Commissioner Bret Walker SC has written to the State Government to provide an update regarding the progress of his inquiry.
An October hearing date was recently set for the High Court challenge, initiated in response to his issuing of summonses to Commonwealth witnesses and for the production of documents.
With his report due in February, Mr Walker has explained there is insufficient time to enforce the summonses if the High Court challenge were successful.
However, Mr Walker has advised that he is able to complete his report without pressing for the production of Commonwealth witnesses or documents, as he has received further evidence on which he can rely.
He will be withdrawing the summonses.
"We expect the High Court proceedings to be discontinued," said Attorney-General Vickie Chapman.
"This will leave some important constitutional questions unresolved, but I believe the priority here is for the Commission to get on with its work and report back to the people of South Australia.
"Mr Walker has advised that he expects to provide his report by 1 February 2019 as scheduled.
"I look forward to receiving Mr Walker's report in February."

Yes, you are allowed to combine your own artwork/illustrations with GFX.
I have a question tho, by image editing components, does the usage sprites fx, doing lighting composition, or overlay effects counts? or is it a completely different thing? .-.
Ahh, so it's like El Doodle, but the usage of official art is allowed and it's in the form of a wallpaper? .-.
Are we allowed to draw and colour in the official Elsword Art style or it has to be original art style? Thank you!
Last edited by Erzylette-solace-; 04-18-2019, 09:25 PM.
While trying to replicate the style is permitted, please do not trace.
In past contests we were able to provide official renders for references in contests so this is very much something we may be able to do! We will look in to the possibility of preparing a download package next time (or this time, if we have it).
There was a link to an imgur album that had a compilation of high resolution official art of the 3rd job characters that was put up for ElDoodle a while ago, would this help?

Assassinistas #4 (March 2018)
I'm back on board–fully on board–with Assassinistas. There's character development here, instead of just the character revelations in flashback. It's kind of cool too. Howard has the banter down in the present-day action sequences, which helps a lot too. Banter, action, character development. Does wonders.
There's also a nice mix of serious and silly. The absurdity of the action and so on. But also the real danger–physical and psychological–helps things.
The comic does still read a little fast; the character development is a nice change though. It seems like it's been a while (like since the first issue, really).
Beto's art is pretty good. It seems rushed in a few too many places, but his practically stick figure bodies are growing on me. And the action works. He gets the pacing of it just right.
The story itself is either moving too fast or too slow. The series'll probably have to wrap before it's clear which one.

Evolution #5 (March 2018)
Evolution just passed an interesting landmark—the comic is no longer reliant on the art. First and foremost, it's been an interesting looking book—until now. This issue has the best writing so far in the comic, on each of the separate plot lines. The characters have finally been around long enough to be compelling.
Which means I hope the comic doesn't get too ambitious with series length. After five issues, the gaggle of writers have got the book into a great spot. They're not going to be able to keep it there forever.
It's a fantastically plotted issue. The development work in each plot is outstanding, the art is good, the dialogue is fine. The series is paying off. Of course, it would've been nice if that success weren't so surprising to me. The writers really pull off a good issue here.

'Trapped!' Hallowheels brings drive-through terrors to Las Vegas
by Susan and Simon Veness September 29, 2020
written by Susan and Simon Veness September 29, 2020
The world has fallen into dystopian chaos. Your only hope for survival is as a Scrapper, searching the city's violence-ridden compounds for water, fuel, and weapons under cover of darkness. But the deadly Hekuri mobs are looking for human sacrifices. Will you escape being "Trapped"?
Leave it to Las Vegas entertainers to come up with a safe way to terrorize the populace during a pandemic, saving not only the Halloween season but also Nevada's out-of-work actors.
Las Vegas entertainment industry professionals have come together to put their talents to good use while also helping their fellow performers in a business that relies on large crowds. Together, they've partnered with Backstage Hope Las Vegas, which mobilizes drive-through distribution of hand sanitizer and food, plus contact-free entertainment.
And it's their October event, Hallowheels "Trapped," that brings a new form of fiendish frights to Las Vegas, with one simple premise: Search for scraps, and if you get caught, you die.
How does it work? Trapped is a 15-20 minute drive-through production featuring four outdoor show "pods" offering similar experiences, with only two cars allowed into each of the pods at a time. Guests remain in their car throughout the experience, and their windows must remain rolled up.
Along with live actors, the performance includes intense lighting, low visibility, projection technology, lasers, fog, special effects, and unexpected loud sounds and movement. The action takes place all around your car, while an ultra-intense soundtrack accessed via your car stereo adds to the extreme psychological menace.
Here's a preview of the experience:
Trapped! a Hallowheels, Haunted Halloween Drive Thru in Las Vegas
"Trapped" is recommended for ages 12 and up, while those with certain medical conditions should not attend, including those with sensitivity to strobe effects. Guests are encouraged to wear facial coverings, even while in their car.
Performances take place on select dates from Oct. 8-31, and a percentage of the proceeds will assist local technicians enduring pandemic-related financial difficulties.
Tickets to Hallowheels are date and time specific, and must be purchased in advance at $54.99 per car for 1-4 guests, $79.99 for 5-7 guests. Discount codes are available through Sept. 30.

Suspension rates on the rise in Va., Augusta County
Megan Williams
Augusta County Schools saw a 25 percent increase in short-term suspensions last year compared with the 2015-16 school year, mirroring a statewide trend.
An update to the Legal Aid Justice Center's Suspended Progress report reveals that during the 2015-16 school year, Virginia schools issued more than 131,500 out-of-school suspensions to more than 70,000 students, marking an increase in the Commonwealth's suspension rate after four years of a downward trend.
In 2015-16 Augusta County had 731 short-term suspensions and three long-term suspensions. Last year, that short-term suspension number rose to 969, with long-term staying the same.
More in education:Staunton and Augusta County schools get Virginia grants to tighten security
Virginia law defines short-term suspension, long-term suspension, and expulsion in Code of Virginia § 22.1-276.01.
Short-term suspension is defined as disciplinary action which mandates that a student is not permitted to attend school for up to 10 days.
Long-term suspension is defined as disciplinary action which mandates that a student is not permitted to attend school for more than 10 school days but fewer than 365 calendar days.
Expulsion is defined as disciplinary action imposed by a school board which mandates that a student is not permitted to attend school within the school division and is ineligible for readmission for 365 calendar days after the date of the expulsion.
The breakdown of suspensions by student group closely mirrors that of the student population in Augusta County. Eighty-eight percent of the student population is white, and 86 percent of the students suspended last year were white. Less than 3 percent of the student population is black, and 4 percent of students suspended were black.
In Waynesboro, however, the breakdown of suspensions by student group does not represent the student population as well as Augusta County. Fifty-seven percent of the student population in Waynesboro Schools is white, but 47 percent of students suspended last year were white. Compared to a student population of 16 percent, black students represented 27 percent of the students suspended.
A request for information on total suspensions for Waynesboro Schools in 2015-16 and 2016-17 had not been received as of Friday afternoon.
Staunton had a similar breakdown of suspensions by student group as Waynesboro. Sixty-six percent of students in Staunton Schools are white, but white students represented 40 percent of total suspensions in 2016-17. Whereas, 15 percent of the student population is black and 36 percent of students suspended last year were black.
Staunton also has not responded to a request for information on total number of suspensions for the 2015-16 and 2016-17 school year.
