The world of competitive horse racing would be impossible without jockeys, though they are in the limelight only briefly, when they win a Triple Crown race. Most jockeys are not necessarily high earners. These diminutive athletes ride the horse during the race, and while the most successful jockeys earn six-figure incomes, most generate relatively modest earnings. One of the biggest reasons is that a jockey's success determines much of his income — those that win big-purse races make considerably more money.
Mounting Fee
Jockeys generally work as independent contractors and are hired by horse trainers. The amount that a jockey is paid to ride a horse during a race is called a "mounting fee." This fee is not necessarily very high — in most cases, between $25 and $100. The jockey's income, then, is determined largely by how successful he or she is, making this a risky profession, with high stakes for every race.
The real income for which jockeys compete is the purse. The purse is the prize money that a horse earns for winning first, second or third place, and the jockey takes a cut. The size of the purse and the percentage earned by the jockey varies, but it is a relatively small cut. First place may win about six percent of the purse, for example, with second place taking one percent and third place taking half a percent.
Most jockeys earn a salary between $30,000 and $40,000 per year, but there are exceptions. For example, in 2004, the top 100 jockeys earned an average of $5.7 million. With the variations in prize earnings, though, these numbers are not always consistent. In 2008, for example, the highest paid jockey earned $2.1 million in purse shares, while in 2004 the highest earner made $22.2 million.
Expense and Requirements
Jockeying comes at a price. Jockeys must provide their own equipment, like saddles, helmets and boots, to be able to ride. Out of their winnings, jockeys pay around 30 percent to their agents and valets. They must also meet strict weight requirements to remain eligible and competitive — most jockeys weigh between 108 and 118 lbs. That being the case, most jockeys are also relatively short, while there are no height requirements, a short stature helps a jockey make weight.

Topics of interest include network architecture and design, protocols, network software, network hardware, network operation and management, measurements, and network security.


Next time you have a pocket full of loose change, take a few moments to inspect your coins. You may be holding onto a work of art.
Hughes took a path that is counter to the direction many travel: He started with a computerized engraver and found it to be too limiting. He quickly moved to hand engraving the fine details and interesting designs of his coins, and even began hand building his own carving tools.
His designs are sometimes whimsical, completely changing the image on the coin. Other times he does intricate patterns and scroll engraving within the boundaries of the existing designs. No matter what approach he takes, his (and other artists') coins are highly sought after.
"My first coin sold for $3. My record so far is $400 for a buffalo nickel with Groucho Marx, but some by much better carvers sell for thousands," he says.
You don't necessarily have to purchase one though. Hughes has made a habit of sneaking some back into circulation: "I've put several hundred counterstamped and a few engraved coins out in change for folks to find," he says.

From 1907 he supervised the weekly newsreel made by Pathe Freres in Melbourne, staying with them for a number of months when they merged with Australasian Films in 1913. He then went to work for Lincoln-Cass Films and J. C. Williamson Ltd on their feature films, before joining Herschell's in Melbourne as a technical adviser.

I am using orbitron + Wispdde for auto doppler correction on my ICOM 821H. I noticed that the frequency correction at the Radio is not happening in 1Hz steps when on CW/SSB , the frequency correction is in 10 Hz steps but it shows in 1Hz in Wisp DDE. Any pointers to resolve the issue will be appreciated.


Made a bug report about this, but there's no option for trimming audio during the publishing process. This can be annoying if you have a long tail of silence in the render.
I'm going to have to experiment with this some before fully forming a conclusion. Maybe we need a feature suggestion to add a "render selection" modifier to the upload feature?
But without that, I think I kind of expected it to upload the full project, and the need to crop that long tail of silence would be something normal I think?
How do other DAW's with this kind of publish feature handle this?
No idea how other DAWs do it; at least not from experience.
I think a quick workaround would to be to render the audio like normal (with the "render selection" option enabled) then open a new Mixcraft project to publish it, but that kind of defeats the purpose a bit, especially for publishing to audio-only services like SoundCloud.
I guess I could also adjust my workflow so that I get rid of extra MIDI clips that were used for reference and muted (but not removed from the project); it's these clips that cause the tail of silence to occur.
Wow, that's a huge amount of silence in that bug report screenshot. If you get rid of the extra MIDI clips, does that help?
There are a bunch of fixes. The one that some forum users have been waiting for is the fix for moving notes up and down in the piano roll with the mouse. It's always good to get the latest version, because we're constantly fixing things that people report.
I posted a list of additions and fixes here.
Of course, this is a beta version right now. Don't download it unless you want to beta test and try to find bugs.
In reply to Mark's question- How do ther DAWs handle publishing?
The other DAW I have has an upload information panel very similar to Mixcraft and does not have an option to make last minute corrections, it assumes the project is ready for presentation and all work has been finalised in the program.
The difference is the other DAW has a header for the song title and comments and Mixcraft has a number of blank mystery panels. I have no idea whatsoever what they refer to.

Mixcraft's publisher screen should look like this, more or less.
Mick, if your's is blank like that, we need to do some troubleshooting. What version of Windows are you using? You've got build 296 installed, correct? Did you go into Mixcraft's ini files and customize the colors or something?
Greg. Whoooops! Yes I changed the ini file colours!
Thanks for letting us know what it was! Let this be a warning to the custom colors crowd.
To answer your question Greg, yes, if I remove the MIDI clips it renders just fine.
I guess the real question is, why does Mixcraft consider muted clips (or muted tracks—well, in this case, a muted submix) when rendering?
Add that comment to your bug report!
Ha!ha! when I was changing some colours there were some stuff I could not relate to so I obviously left them because they didn't appear to make any difference until now. when I discover I messed things up.
I made a list of what was changed and compared them side by side to the original 32 bit version mixskin and this time only changed what was necessary, and the result is that I have my colours back AND the super duper publishing panel so I have 32 and 64 bit versions all working correct to my theme. All is well again.
I guess I forgot about the "If it ain't broke don't fix it" thing.
Last edited by mick on Fri Jan 29, 2016 3:10 pm, edited 1 time in total.
So the real question is, is the bug an "enhancement" for controlling mixdown length, or is the bug in Mixcraft including muted tracks and clips when calculating mixdown length?


At exactly 3:00 today I opened my travel MacBook Pro that I use to manage media and do some light video editing on the road — and the battery had exploded out the back of the computer.
On a different day a different Terry would have not gone to yoga, stressed out for at least an hour and ranted about all the reasons this is the worst thing that can possibly happen roughly 15 hours away from traveling for ten days.
It appeared to be raining chaos in my home office. So, I went to yoga.
The result of any situation is how we react to it, and today I chose not to. Or perhaps I was in denial. The only witness to any of it was Boomer, so you'll have to trust me.
I have several days to figure this out before I actually have to work. If I forget something, there is Fed-ex. Target and Wells Fargo are both in Austin. American Express works almost everywhere. Visa works everywhere. I'll be back in a state that knows how to cook BBQ brisket. Best. Mexican. Food. Ever. I'm good.
I love it when you are on the mat and you feel your body changing. Muscles moving you either never knew you had or you never thought could actually move. Tonight, with each pose, old injuries were waking up and moving through my body.
Why do I have a picture of myself from 1986 dressed up like Tigger in Winne-the-Pooh?
1985-1986 were horrible years for my body.
My back pain started with this play. I bounced out on stage wearing this costume without any resin on my feet and literally flipped up in the air and landed flat on my back. I was so flat on my back, they called the ambulance. I compressed my t-spine and spent years in so much pain. Doctors would x-ray me, put me under all sorts of machines and tell me there was nothing wrong, just some compressed vertebrae. Nothing to do except take some ibuprofen. Finally, I just got used to the pain. It was a part of me.
I fractured the left side of my pelvis. I could barely walk for weeks. I remember the doctor telling my Mom that it would probably be difficult for me to have a baby naturally. He meant I would need a C-section because of my pelvic fracture, but I think back now and wonder if he knew something I didn't.
I do have a point to my accident history — tonight on the mat, my mid back moved in places I had literally never felt before. I stretched places I didn't know could stretch. I opened things I did not know could open. When I rolled down from plow some part of my spine unwound so deeply I just started crying. I was not sad. I am always so taken aback when that happens to me.
And then the same sorts of physical things happened in my left hip. I felt it move in a place that almost took my breath away because it was so foreign.
These old injuries were trying to get my attention.
Physically, there was a lot going on inside of me tonight, and it brought to the forefront how important it is to nourish all the aspects of ourselves. The physical – mental – spiritual – emotional.
Sometimes I get so caught up in one microcosm of one aspect, I lose sight of the big picture. I get bogged down living with pain that started in 1986. When is the statute of limitations on the Tigger injury, really? When do you let that go?
Long ago, I tried to read and watch my way to perfection via Oprah and every self help book you can imagine. I owned all of them. Louise Hay. Scott Peck. Julia Cameron. Sark. And I am sure somewhere in this brain of mine a lot of it sunk in, but the only thing I really learned from that period of my life is that nothing meaningful happens in your life until you decide to live a meaningful life. So several years ago, I donated every self-help book I owned to Goodwill. I knew the only self-help I needed was to just help myself, not read about how to help myself. Plus, self-help books encourage too much list making. Which is not allowed.
It's not lost on me that I am addicted to yoga. I know my 60 Days On the Mat is a self-induced challenge. A place to focus my energy, while hoping to get pregnant — instead of just waiting to get pregnant. A way to occupy my mind and my heart, keeping them afloat — while I am in a sort of life limbo. A place to put all the energy I would rather put somewhere else if given a choice — but instead I breathe. Deeply. And I hope that, perhaps on the other side of this, there will be something even greater.

Worst NFL Team Takes On The Best
October 13, 20138:00 AM ET
The dismal Jacksonville Jaguars play the formidable Denver Broncos today, a match-up that makes for the biggest point spread ever and possibly the worst regular season NFL game in a long time. NPR's Mike Pesca joins host Rachel Martin and can talk of nothing else.
This is WEEKEND EDITION from NPR News. I'm Rachel Martin. And this is sports.
MARTIN: Baseball playoffs, the start of hockey, the start of basketball - excitement, possibility. But this week, Mike Pesca wants to focus on none of that. He has zeroed in on one of the least exciting sports match-ups in the country's near future. Good morning, Mike.
MIKE PESCA, BYLINE: So unexciting it could be exciting actually.
MARTIN: Ooh, you think?
PESCA: Well, let's think about it.
MARTIN: What is this game of which you speak?
PESCA: So, the game that promises to be the most lopsided and therefore what we would call unexciting is the game the Broncos are playing the Jaguars. But the note on this game is that when the odds makers in Las Vegas put a number on it, set a point spread - in other words, tell bettors how much the Broncos would win by - they said they're going to win by 28. And Chad Millman - got to give Chad Millman of ESPN credit - went back, talked to guys who keep historical records. That is the biggest point spread - ties the biggest point spread - in the history of the NFL. So, in other words, they're predicting this will be the most lopsided game in NFL history and that why I said it could make it interesting that, you know, if the score is 30-0 in the fourth quarter, maybe people will tune in to see if the Broncos actually exceed that 28-point (unintelligible).
MARTIN: Is this because the Broncos are so good or the Jaguars are so bad, or I guess you're going to say both.
PESCA: Well, of course. Yeah.
PESCA: And they are also - so, actually, though literally, what it really is, is because of the public's perception of the Broncos being good and the Jaguars being bad. And the perception isn't that off from the reality. I mean, as the Broncos' own official Twitter feed noted, hey, we scored 51 points last week; the Jaguars have scored 51 points all season. So, what a point spread is - it tries to get bettors to an equal amount, put money on both sides and both teams. But usually a team that's on national TV and gets a lot of attention and just shown themselves to be so good, like the Broncos, they'll have so much more interest than a team like the Jaguars. People will think the Broncos are maybe a little better than they are and they think the Jaguars are maybe a little worse than they are. And that's why even though we said the line opened at 28 points, since then smart money, you know, guys who do this for a living have bet it down a little bit. It's now only a 27-point spread, which still doesn't mean that this is, you know, going to be one of the closely fought NFL games this week.
MARTIN: But if I put my money on the Jaguars and they happen to win...
PESCA: Right.
MARTIN: ...I mean, I'm going to make a lot of cash.
PESCA: I don't think NPR allows that for the 401(k), by the way.
PESCA: Well, yeah. So, there's two things. If you put them with the points spread, you'll just get basically what you bet. Now, if you want to bet them outright, most casinos just will not offer this bet. The odds are too big. It's not worth it for them to give, you know, 50-to-1 odds. But you want to bet $5,000, you know, a casino will give you $100 if the Broncos win. Much worse odds if you want to bet on the Jaguars. They don't want to be losing their shirts on, you know, 5,000-to-10 odds or something like that.
MARTIN: Could we talk about something else?
PESCA: I'd like to.
MARTIN: OK, sure. I mean, it's kind of related. It's just a think that's like a bee in my bonnet. I'm fascinated with the whole Manning family and, you know, this is related. We're talking about the Broncos. Eli is doing really badly right now.
PESCA: Very poorly, yeah.
MARTIN: So, is this just - it happens in this family, if one's up, one's down?
PESCA: Right. There's just a maximum amount of Manning goodwill in the world. No. I think what it is, is there's a couple of things have happened at the same time. Peyton is getting very used to his offense, Broncos' quarterback Peyton Manning is. He's a fantastic quarterback and he has all these offensive weapons. And Eli - we know Eli's not bad. He didn't get bad all of the sudden. He's always had a propensity for interceptions. And it's the offensive line. And although we note this, hey, the offensive line is important when it's a shambles, like the Giants' offensive line, and offers the quarterback no protection, he's going to look particularly terrible, especially when juxtaposed to his famous and awesome brother.
MARTIN: There you go. Curveball?
PESCA: Yes. I was watching the baseball game last night, the American League series. And Tim McCarver noted - it was Miguel Cabrera at bat - and John Lester, the Red Sox pitcher, was throwing very fast and Cabrera got a hit. And McCarver said that ball went out faster than it came in, which was, I guess, supposed to be notable, but I immediately said to myself, wait a minute - this almost always happens. And I did a little research, and, yeah, I'm not going to bore you with things like coefficient of restitution, which is .55 in baseball. But balls when a big, strong hitter swings his bat really fast, the ball almost always goes out faster than it comes in. To wit, you know, if you approach 100 miles an hour, a pitcher, that's a notable thing. You know, guys have tattoos if they throw 100 miles an hour. But on average, a good hitter like Albert Pujols, his exit speed will be 120 miles an hour. Balls go out faster than they come in, bunts notwithstanding.
MARTIN: Now you know it. NPR's Mike Pesca. Thanks, Mike.
PESCA: You're welcome.

Please take a look to the components of our new honor suit: The Colonel's Suit.
This is an amazing opportunity for your officers.
Get the Colonel's Suit now to help your mid tier officers to overcome their weaknesses in battle and grab an edge.
You may buy the complete Coronel' suit or you may buy individual parts to upgrade one or several of your officer's stats.
It doesn't matter how you decide to get it, this unique suit can be yours for free. It's time to light the fires of war and get some honor!!!!
This suit will be available at 16.01.2018 @ 11:00 (local server time). Grab it while it's hot!
Was checking, Yes, you right.
Yes way too expensive even with the certainty of getting the piece and being unbound, would perhaps be worth it if it wasn't lvl 100 and above as then it could be used to level officers up to 100 on event fields but nope better to stick with cheaper renown suits for lvl 100 officers.
Hey guys, we ask for something useful to spend honor on, so they give us this arguably garbage suit!
Rejoice, they kinda sorta (not really) listened to us on a frivolous topic!

I got a set of Krugerrand coins in a very nice wooden box. I tryed to do some research and found out that Krugerrand coins sell for the gold price. Is that true? And if yes, how much is a Krugerrand coin worth, today? And Alex, is it possible to sell just one coin or is that bad for the whole set? As you see, the set comes with a silver bar. Can you tell me more about it?
Dear Alexander, you own a very nice set of Krugerrand coins celebrating 40 years of minting. Generally you are right, a Krugerrand coins sells for the gold value. The gold value of your coins equals more or less the gold price and differs between the weights of your Krugerrand coins. An ounce is more worth than a half ounce but the whole set shows a higher value.
Alex wants to know, how much is a Krugerrand coin worth, today?
Alexander: In 2008 I got a very nice set of gold coins from my dad. I finished the college and for honoring my good performance, I got that set. I always knew that its worth a lot but I never thought about selling, especially because my dad swears by gold and forecasts rising prices for my set's value. But now, I can need some money for an important advanced training. If possible, I wouldn't sell the whole set but I guess that's bad for the whole set, isn't it? How much is a Krugerrand coin worth, today? And how much is the whole set worth, Alex?
Alex: First, it's a very nice Krugerrand set and you assumed rightly that selling a single coin destroys the set and reduces the total value. You have to know that your set is really special. Only 700 "40th Anniversary Krugerrand Sets" were minted in 2007. I guess your dad bought the set also in 2007 or maybe in an auction in 2008. The set is really rare and sought after by collectors. Alexander, just 700 sets were minted as I said – 700 for the whole world. That's really rare. And the set comes with a nice ingot too. The ingot shows the springbok and the minting process in 1967 on the reverse. Important to know is that the ingot is not made of pure silver, it's "just" .925 silver. I don't want to say that this is a bad silver quality but I and other experts wonder why they have chosen sterling silver as alloy for the ingot. The price difference between sterling silver and pure silver isn't that much and silver art bars like that were almost always made of pure silver. But anyway that's a very nice set as I said.
Alexander: That's good to hear. What about the value now? How much is a Krugerrand coin worth, today if we don't speak about the whole set?
Alex: Ok, let's assume that your coins just come as single coins without a box and without the ingot. The ounce is worth $1,290 today. You can sell this coin to a reliable gold buyer for around $1,225. Your half ounce is worth $645 today and can be sold for about $610. The quarter ounce is worth $320, today and sells for about $300. And your last coin, the tenth ounce is worth $129, today and can sell for about $120. In total your 4 coins are worth $2,384, today and can sell for about $2,255.
Alexander: Ok, I see. What happens if we compare the value of the single coins with the value of a whole set?
Alex: Even the value of the whole sets orientates on the gold price. I think there is a surcharge of about 20% for the whole set on top of the gold price. The total value of the whole set is about $2,700, today.
Alexander: Yes man, that's a difference. The thing is I just would need about $1,200 for my advanced training. I don't know what to do. I would like to keep some coins.
Alex: That's a decision I don't want to influence. If you need the amount for a short time, maybe a pawn loan would be a solution.
Alexander: Probably yes but maybe not. I'm not sure if the company hires me. Taking a pawn loan is a risk for me at the moment.
Alex: I understand, that's a knotty situation.
Alexander: Let me think some days and maybe I just sell an ounce to your company.
Alex: It's up to you. You are more than welcomed, Alexander.
Alexander: Thanks for your time, Alex.
Alex: I thank you for asking and showing a wonderful set. I have never had such a set in my laboratory. We bought Krugerrand sets from other years before but the 40th Anniversary Krugerrand set is our premiere.


If your optimally-evolved-for-reproduction lifespan hadn't removed you from the gene pool, you'd be 200 today, Charles Darwin. The ultimate rationalist, the man who removed any lingering necessity for the assorted god theories beyond the need for comfort some people have, and the beautifully simple idea that allowed the massive diversity of life to flower into glorious existence from a few random aminos in the primordial soup. Happy Birthday, Charles!


For safe offshore helicopter hoists, wind turbine platforms must be equipped with a helicopter hoist status light (helihoist light) to indicate the status of the hoist. To complement our range of aviation obstruction lights we have, in collaboration with the UK CAA, developed a new status light – the L550-HHS – to facilitate safe helicopter-hoist operations on UK offshore wind turbine platforms. A flashing green light indicates that the wind turbine is preparing to enter safe mode and allow hoisting operations. A steady green signal tells the pilot that the wind turbine is in safe mode and that winching can commence.
Why do you need a helihoist light?
At Orga, we care about the safety of your operations. Our helihoist light provides pilots with visual confirmation that the wind turbine has been fully shut down and is in safe mode. Our latest offshore platform marking and warning system provides a robust, durable and cost-effective solution for your wind turbine platform. Our new helicopter hoist status light is specially designed to help you meet safety requirements for aids to navigation on offshore installations. It also complies with the CAP437 standard for offshore helicopter landing areas.
Orga's helihoist light combines the benefits of advanced LED technology with optical and system control technologies, to meet the most demanding of applications. In our helihoist light, we offer you an optical design product that throws a highly accurate and uniform light beam. The product is lightweight, easy to install and requires zero maintenance over its service life. To underpin your operational safety, Orga's L550-HHS is contained in a rugged housing, the design of which is backed up by over 40 years' experience of designing offshore products.
Thanks to our use of the latest technologies, our helihoist light boasts extremely low power consumption. The combination of having a built-in photocell, extremely low wind resistance, built-in monitoring and a long-life power supply that matches its LED life without having to make use of electrolytic capacitors, makes Orga's helicopter hoist status light the best choice you can make.
When it comes to showing the way ahead, Orga is way ahead.

Record number of original TV shows created in 2019
Sara Fischer, author of Axios Media Trends
A whopping 532 original scripted television series were created last year, according to the latest data from FX Networks Research, up 7% from the year before.
Reproduced from an FX Networks Research report; Chart: Axios Visuals
Why it matters: In recent years, experts wondered if the TV market would eventually reach "Peak TV," or a point of total saturation. The new data suggests that hasn't happened yet.
Be smart: The rise of streaming over the past decade can be credited for bloating the TV ecosystem, but it's also complicated it.
FX researchers used to show the number of original scripted series that were released by genre, but because streamers have become so intertwined with the traditional television ecosystem, that calculus no longer makes sense.
For example, Disney announced last year that Hulu will become the official streaming home for FX content. The partnership will offer current and new FX series to Hulu subscribers at the same time when they air on traditional TV.
The streaming battlefield is getting crowded
The TV business isn't dead yet


The overhead console use to display outside temperature & had the "perform service" come on. I asked a mechanic to do the service and to reset the console so that the "perform service" warning won't come on until I need to do the service. However the mechanic completely turned off the overhead console so it no longer shows anything. I can turn the menu on and select things but I can't get it to show the outside temperature. I tried the vehicle handbook but it doesn't tell me how to use the console, it only tells me what the console does. Help please?
Unbelievable! So instead of clearing the message he just disconnected it! I guess you'll need to find a better mechanic. I would still go back to the this guy and complain! He shouldn't have disconnected it.
You'll need to get it back working first. If he won't, you'll need to get your money back at least. As he could have simply disconnected the fuse or cut the wires which could be quite costly to fix.
As to clearing the perform service message, take a look at this: Overhead Console "Perform Service"
He may have messed with the wiring then.
Simona will be eternally grateful.

Singer Solange Knowles says there is no ill feeling over her infamous elevator bust-up with her rapper brother-in-law Jay-Z, insisting: "We are all good."
The pair hit headlines in May when surveillance footage emerged showing Knowles lashing out at her sister Beyonce's husband as they left a party at a New York hotel.
Beyonce later issued a statement insisting her husband and sister "each assume their share of responsibility for what has occurred," and now Solange has spoken out to reveal the famous family has moved on from the scandal.
She tells Lucky magazine, "What's important is that my family and I are all good. What we had to say collectively was in the statement that we put out, and we all feel at peace with that."

Superyacht cruising is opening up beyond the usual hubs and marinas of the Mediterranean or Caribbean as facilities are being developed and upgraded around the world. An example of growing superyacht interest and visits made possible through upscale marinas and knowledgeable yachting support is Phuket Island in Thailand.
Dubbed the 'Monaco of South East Asia' and acknowledged as the 'Superyacht Hub of South East Asia', Phuket Island has many cruising options in the Andaman Sea to nearby secluded bays while offering a luxury lifestyle and well-equipped marinas, which also serve as a Gateway to Myanmar.


MPA Group once again entered this year's Squeaky Bone Relay which took place on Sunday September 30th, hosted by Olney Runners. The race was open to all ability levels with a team of 4 running either a 3.5 or 2.3-mile route. This year we entered 3 teams into the longer 3.5-mile.
This year the Squeaky Bone Race was celebrating its 10th year. Since its inception in 2008, the Squeaky Bone Relay Race has grown from 15 teams to over 150 teams; the success has come as a result of the fantastic volunteer effort receive each year. The runners carry a squeaky bone rather than a traditional relay baton. This recognises Olney's history for lace making, where the poor would use bone bobbins to keep them from ending up in the workhouses. The name of the race comes from the lace makers using the bone bobbins to "squeak by" on their limited income.
The race itself was very competitive with lots of running clubs from the local area, such as Bedford Harriers, competing against Olney Runners and non-affiliated teams. On the day team 'Bone Idle' of Bedford Harriers emerged victories with a time of 1:25:16 in the relay. Our teams did very well with 'Team Deuy' coming a very respectable 27th with a finishing time of 1:50:20. 'Team Huey' came 63rd (2:03:29) with 'Team Looey' 87th (2:11:23). Individually, Analyst Davide Di Maio led the way with a very impressive time of 24:40 followed by Marketing Services Support Harvey Featherstone with a time of 27:29 placing 21st and 24th respectively in the individual standings from over 400 runners. Most importantly everyone had a great time and the local community was brought together with plenty of people coming to support those running. Additionally, there were cake and beverage sales with all proceeds going to local charities.
MPA are proud of our active contribution to the local community. We also sponsor one of the flowerbeds in Olney which helps to keep the town in full colour throughout the year. We also fund the work of local healthcare professional, Sue Levitt, at Cobbs Garden Surgery in Olney. Sue's day to day work varies, from coordinating patient's everyday medical needs, to organising household tasks or just being someone to go in and have a cup of tea and a chat with. The work Sue does is important and to some of her patients it is the best part of their day. It's a vital way for them to feel part of the outside world, with Sue becoming just as much of a friend as well as a healthcare provider.
MPA would like to congratulate our runners who took part and IT Services Manager Helen Oliver for all the hard work she put into organising our teams before and during the race. We would also like to thank Olney Runners for organising such a great event for the community. Full results of the race can be found at Results Base.


I'm summarising a data table using the usual syntax, e.g. dt << summary( by(Group), mean(TrtA, TrtB, TrtC)), and am getting a summary table back in which all the column names are prefixed by the word "mean", e.g. "mean(TrtA)", "mean(TrtB)" etc. That's obviously both logical and informative, but actually I want to retain the original column headings for reasons that aren't worth going into here. I've written a little function to strip out the extraneous text, but I'm doing a lot of this sort of thing and repeatedly having to tidy them up afterwards is a bit of a nuisance. Is there a keyword for use with the summary command which will do this automatically? I can't find one in the manual, but I could easily have overlooked it if it's called something that isn't obvious.
On a general point, how can I get a list of all the available keywords for any particular command? I keep coming across statements in the manual like "Options include...", whereas I'd like to have a comprehensive list at my fingertips - preferably with descriptions of what they all do.
When you run Summary interactively there is a pull down menu which lets you choose among several ways to format the summary column names. When you choose one and run it you can look at the Source script in the summary table to see how to script it.
Perfect - many thanks. On the general point, is it possible to obtain comprehensive lists of options for any command other than by running that command from the menu and inspecting the resulting dialog box as you've suggested? Now I know what the keyword I want actually is, I've just searched a PDF copy of the JMP 9 Scripting Guide for the phrase "column name format", and I see it doesn't actually appear anywhere.
As a secondary question - and my apologies if I'm being obtuse - how do I search the online help within JMP for a phrase containing more than just a single word? I've tried using the AND and OR options and putting the phrase I'm looking for inside quotes, but to no avail: all I get is references to every instance of each word - and there are usually a lot of those to work through. What am I missing here?
I have also found my search efforts a bit less productive than one might like.
On the Help search page - to the right of the search string entry is an arrow with several key words: AND, :OR, :NEAR etc..
Anyone else have better tips/suggestions?
Anytime you have a scriptable object, you can use the Show Properties() command to get a list of all the commands the object will respond to.
You'll get a list in the Log window of things to investigate.
There's also the omnibus 'Show Commands(all)' command that will dump a list of all JSL commands in the log.
Still, the 'statistics column name formatdoesn't appear anywhere in the lists.
The one BIG clue that I can give you is that almost everything in the UI (checkboxes, edit boxes, etc.) has a corresponding JSL command. Thus, on the Summary dialog, since I see a drop down list called 'statistics column name format' gives me a big clue that there's a JSL command very much like it, with options like there are on the data table.
In fact, once I ran the Summary command using the interface, I could look at the script attached to the generated table (called 'Source'), et voilà, there sits the command.

Das Kamener Kreuz ist ein Autobahnkreuz in Nordrhein-Westfalen, das sich in der Metropolregion Rhein-Ruhr befindet. Es verbindet die ersten Autobahnen des Landes, die Bundesautobahn 1 (Heiligenhafen–Köln–Saarbrücken; Nord-Süd-Richtung) und die Bundesautobahn 2 (Oberhausen–Hannover–Berlin; West-Ost-Richtung).

Geographie
Das Autobahnkreuz liegt im Nordosten des Ruhrgebiets, auf dem Stadtgebiet von Kamen. Die umliegenden Städte sind Hamm, Unna, Bergkamen und die Gemeinde Bönen. Es befindet sich etwa 11 km östlich von Lünen, 12 km südwestlich von Hamm, 18 km nordöstlich von Dortmund und 40 km südlich von Münster.
Es ist Bestandteil des Dortmunder Autobahnrings.

Auf der A 1 trägt das Autobahnkreuz die Anschlussstellennummer 82 und auf der A 2 die Nummer 16.

Geschichte
Es ist – nach dem Schkeuditzer Kreuz – das zweitälteste Autobahnkreuz in Kleeblattform Deutschlands. Es wurde 1937 in Betrieb genommen. Allerdings bildeten die in diesem Jahr begonnenen Erdarbeiten für die Nord-Süd-Richtung anfangs nur einen Stumpf von 5,2 km Länge. Das fertig ausgebaute Autobahnkreuz wurde erst am 27. Oktober 1956 dem Verkehr übergeben.

Umbau 2005–2009
Ein Umbau des Kreuzes wurde nach fünfjähriger Bauzeit am 25. August 2009 abgeschlossen. Seitdem ist das Kreuz sechsspurig befahrbar. Eine besondere Herausforderung hierbei waren der Abriss und komplette Neubau der A 1-Brücke, die täglich von 90.000 Fahrzeugen befahren wird.

Das Kreuz hat seitdem die klassische Kleeblattform verloren, da der Verkehr von der A 2 aus Richtung Hannover über eine zweispurige halbdirekte Rampe auf die A 1 in Richtung Köln geleitet wird. Die Rampe unterquert hierbei in einem großen Bogen zunächst die A 1 im nördlichen Bereich des Kreuzes und führt über die A 2 hinweg im westlichen Bereich des Kreuzes an die A 1 Richtung Köln heran. Im Juni 2009 wurde die halbdirekte Rampe für den Verkehr freigegeben. Die bisherige Kreisfahrt im nordwestlichen Sektor des Kreuzes entfiel durch die neue Rampe, das Ohr ist aber weiterhin befahrbar. Die neue Verbindung darf seit 2010 teilweise nur noch mit Geschwindigkeit von 60 km/h befahren werden.

Der Ausbau der Tangentialfahrbahn zwischen der A 1 aus Richtung Köln auf die A 2 Richtung Hannover von einer Spur auf zwei Spuren wurde im November 2009 abgeschlossen. Durch beide Maßnahmen wird dem starken Abbiegeverkehr in der Beziehung Köln-Hannover und umgekehrt Rechnung getragen. Die anderen Verbindungen blieben einspurig.

Durch den Umbau verlor die Autobahnpolizei ihren zentralen Standort mitten im Autobahnkreuz. Sie wurde neu an der A 1 an der Ausfahrt Kamen-Zentrum angesiedelt.

Trivia

Seit September 2011 befindet sich auf dem nordwestlichen Hügel im Kamener Kreuz ein neues Wahrzeichen. Sechs Engel tragen ein Podest, auf dem ein gelber ADAC-Hubschrauber steht. Dieses unübersehbare Denkmal wurde von dem Lüdinghausener Künstler Alfred Gockel gestaltet. Beim Hubschrauber handelt es sich um einen originalen BO 105 M ADAC Rettungshubschrauber, der allerdings nach Ende seiner regulären Einsatzzeit ohne technische Installationen aufgestellt wurde.

Das Kamener Kreuz wird wegen seiner häufigen Staus und den daraus resultierenden zahlreichen Meldungen im Verkehrsfunk von den Einheimischen auch als "der größte Wallfahrtsort Deutschlands" bezeichnet.

Der Satiriker und Liedermacher Hans Scheibner beschrieb in seinem Song Kamener Kreuz mit dem Refrain "Ich wohn' im Auto am Kamener Kreuz" die häufigen Baustellenstaus.

Der deutsche Musiker Gottlieb Wendehals nennt in seinem Hit Polonäse Blankenese ebenfalls das Autobahnkreuz ("Am Kamener Kreuz rechts ab"), ebenso Reinhard Mey ("ich stehe im Stau am Kamener Kreuz") in seinem Lied Aber zuhaus' kann ich nur in Berlin sein.

In der kurzlebigen Fernsehsendung Welle Wahnsinn (1982) mit Dieter Hallervorden wird auf die Strecke im Lied Geisterfahrer Bezug genommen. Im Film selbst ist aber eine Strecke in Berlin zu sehen.

Die Lassie Singers erwähnen das Kamener Kreuz als Landmarke auf dem Weg zurück aus dem Süden in ihrem Titel Hamburg.

Verkehrsaufkommen
Es ist aufgrund der hier aufeinandertreffenden wichtigen Verkehrsachsen ein überaus stark befahrener Verkehrsknotenpunkt.

Members of the Ojai Women's Fund (OWF) are voting to select local recipients to receive $100,000 in OWF's 2018 community grants. Funds include $70,000 raised by OWF members and $30,000 donated by the Wilson Family Fund via the Ventura County Community Foundation (VCCF).
Grant candidates are local nonprofits that support Ojai arts, education, environment, health and social service programs. Names of the 2018 OWF Community Grant recipients will be announced later this month.
Now in its third year of serving the Ojai community through member-supported giving, the Ojai Women's Fund is a local philanthropic collective open to all Ojai Valley women.
In 2016, its first year, OWF raised and awarded $60,000 to six local nonprofits; in 2017, OWF grants totalled $64,000 and were shared among 11 Ojai organizations. OWF membership numbers are climbing as well with 348 members currently.
In response to this year's increase in both members and donations, OWF membership committee co-chairs Tiarzha Taylor and Caryn Bosson shared their thoughts.
"It's immensely gratifying to hear the collective voice of Ojai women raised in support of our community and demonstrated through good works," said Taylor.
"We're beyond delighted at the generosity of women in the Ojai Valley who are becoming Ojai Women's Fund members and helping to grow this important philanthropy year by year," Bosson said.

Q: In a PhoneGap application, does PhoneGrap translate my code into native code? I just starting trying out PhoneGap today. I've heard about it before, and I've always thought it translated HTML and Javascript into native code. After trying it, I think the device is executing HTML/Javascript/CSS directly?
I'm confused as what PhoneGap does. Is my device executing raw HTML/Javascript/CSS or is it executing a translated native code?
By the way, I'm developing on Android.

A: PhoneGap executes your Javascript in the device's native browser.
It does not compile anything, although the browser's JITter probably will.
