Watch the full-length Drive Me press conference and Q&A on demand:
Volvo Cars presents a unique and complete system that makes it possible to integrate self-driving cars into real traffic – with ordinary people in the driver's seat. The solution was presented today via an interactive, online press conference.
"We are entering uncharted territory in the field of autonomous driving," says Dr Peter Mertens, Senior Vice President Research and Development of Volvo Car Group. "Taking the exciting step to a public pilot, with the ambition to enable ordinary people to sit behind the wheel in normal traffic on public roads, has never been done before."
As the Drive Me project enters its second year, Volvo Cars is moving rapidly towards the aim of placing 100 self-driving cars in the hands of customers on selected roads around Gothenburg by 2017. The public pilot, one-of-a-kind collaboration between legislators, transport authorities, a major city and a vehicle manufacturer, is a central component of Volvo Cars' plan to achieve sustainable mobility and ensure a crash-free future.
The Drive Me autonomous driving system was presented during an interactive, online press conference on February 19. The full press conference can be watched here:

From lost time to quality time
Based on an extensive analysis of potential technical faults, Volvo Cars has designed a complete production-viable autonomous driving system. The key to making this unprecedented leap is a complex network of sensors, cloud-based positioning systems and intelligent braking and steering technologies.
"Autonomous driving will fundamentally change the way we look at driving. In the future, you will be able to choose between autonomous and active driving," says Dr Mertens. "This transforms everyday commuting from lost time to quality time, opening up new opportunities for work and pleasure."
Moving beyond demonstrators
Volvo Cars' Autopilot system is designed to be reliable enough to allow the car to take over every aspect of driving in autonomous mode. The technology advances a crucial step beyond the automotive systems demonstrated so far since it includes fault-tolerant systems.
"It is relatively easy to build and demonstrate a self-driving concept vehicle, but if you want to create an impact in the real world, you have to design and produce a complete system that will be safe, robust and affordable for ordinary customers," says Dr Erik Coelingh, Technical Specialist at Volvo Cars.
The main challenge is to design an Autopilot that is robust for traffic scenarios as well as for technical faults that may occur. It cannot be expected that the driver is ready to suddenly intervene in a critical situation. Initially, the cars will drive autonomously on selected roads with suitable conditions, for example without oncoming traffic, cyclists and pedestrians.
Back-up systems
"Making this complex system 99 per cent reliable is not good enough. You need to get much closer to 100 per cent before you can let self-driving cars mix with other road users in real-life traffic," says Erik Coelingh. "Here, we have a similar approach to that of the aircraft industry. Our fail-operational architecture includes backup systems that will ensure that Autopilot will continue to function safely also if an element of the system were to become disabled."
For example, the probability of a brake system failure is very small, but a self-driving vehicle needs a second independent system to brake the vehicle to a stop, as it is unlikely that the driver will be prepared to press the brake pedal.
Handles complicated scenarios
On the road, the complete technology solution shall handle even the most complicated scenarios, from smooth commuting to heavy traffic and emergency situations.
"Just as good drivers would, potentially critical situations are approached with sensible caution. In a real emergency, however, the car reacts faster than most humans," says Erik Coelingh.
When autonomous driving is no longer available – due to exceptional weather conditions, technical malfunction or the end of the route has been reached – the driver is prompted by the system to take over again.
If the driver is incapacitated for any reason and does not take over in time, the car will bring itself to a safe place to stop.
Consumer and societal benefits
In addition to simplifying people's lives and transforming the everyday commute from lost time to quality time, self-driving cars create environmental benefits.
Volvo Cars expects that autonomous driving could cut fuel consumption. The technology could also improve traffic flow as well as open up possibilities for urban planning and more cost-efficient investments in infrastructure.
"Developing a complete technological solution for self-driving cars is a major step. Once the public pilot is up and running, it will provide us with valuable knowledge about implementing self-driving cars in the traffic environment, and help us explore how they can contribute to sustainable mobility. Our smart vehicles are a key part of the solution, but a broad societal approach is vital to offer sustainable personal mobility in the future. This unique cross-functional co-operation is the key to a successful implementation of self-driving vehicles," says Erik Coelingh.
A selection of Drive Me system solution components:
Sensor technologies
Volvo Cars is developing a holistic solution that generates exact positioning and a complete 360° view of the car's surroundings. This is achieved by a combination of multiple radars, cameras and laser sensors. A redundant network of computers processes the information, generating a real-time map of moving and stationary objects in the environment.
Precise positioning is based on this surround information together with GPS and a high definition 3D digital map that is continuously updated with real-time data. The system is reliable enough to work without requiring driver supervision.
Combined radar and camera
The combined 76 GHz frequency-modulated continuous wave radar and camera placed in the windscreen is the same as that in the all-new XC90. This system reads traffic signs and the road's curvature and can detect objects on the road such as other road users.
Surround radars
Four radars behind the front and rear bumpers (one on each corner of the car) are able to locate objects in all directions. By sweeping both left and right, transmitting waves that bounce off signs, poles, and tunnels, they monitor a full 360° around the car.
360° surround vision
Four cameras monitor objects in close proximity to the vehicle. Two are under the outer rear-view mirrors, one is in the rear bumper and one is in the grille. Besides detecting objects at close range, these cameras monitor lane markings.
The cameras have a high dynamic range and can handle very quick changes in lightning conditions, e.g. when entering a tunnel.
Multiple beam laser scanner
This sensor system is placed in the front of the vehicle, below the air intake. The scanner can identify objects in front of the car and ensures very high angle resolution. It can also distinguish between objects. The unique laser sensor has a range of 150 metres for vehicles and covers a 140° field of view.
Trifocal camera
In addition, a trifocal camera placed behind the upper part of the windscreen is three cameras in one, providing a broad 140° view, a 45° view and a long-range, yet narrow, 34° view for improved depth perception and distant-object detection. The camera can spot suddenly appearing pedestrians and other unexpected road hazards.
Long-range radars
Two long-range radars placed in the rear bumper of the car ensure a good rearward field of view. This technology is particularly useful when changing lanes because it can detect fast-moving vehicles approaching from far behind.
Twelve ultrasonic sensors around the car are used to identify objects close to the vehicle and support autonomous drive at low speeds.
The sensors are based on the technology used for current park assist functions enhanced with advanced signal processing.
A typical example of when this technology is useful is for detecting unexpected situations, such as pedestrians or hazards on the road close to the car.
High definition 3D digital map
A high definition 3D digital map is the tool used to provide the vehicle with information about the surroundings, e.g. altitude, road curvature, number of lanes, geometry of tunnels, guard rails, signs, exits, etc. The position geometry is in many cases at centimetre level.
High performance positioning
The high performance GPS is one part of the positioning control that is enhanced by a combination of an advanced GPS, a 3-degrees of freedom accelerometer and a 3-degrees of freedom gyro. By matching the 360 image created by the multitude of sensors with the map image, the car will get the information about its position in relation to the surroundings.
By combining the information from the sensors and the map, the Drive Me car is able to choose the best course in real time, factoring in variables such as the curvature of the road, speed limit, temporary signs and other traffic.
The cloud service is connected to the traffic authorities' control centre. This ensures that the most up-to-date traffic information is always available. The control centre operators also have the ability to tell the drivers to turn off the autonomous drive mode if necessary.
Volvo Car Group in 2013/14
For the 2013 financial year, Volvo Car Group recorded an operating profit of 1,919 MSEK (66 MSEK in 2012). Revenue over the period amounted to 122,245 MSEK (124,547 MSEK), while net income amounted to 960 MSEK (-542 MSEK). Global retail sales for the year amounted to 427,840 (421,951) cars, an increase of 1.4 per cent compared to 2012. The operating profit was the result of cost control and strong sales and was further tangible proof of Volvo Car Group's progress in implementing its transformation plan. For the full year 2014, global sales reached 465,866 cars, an increase of 8.9 per cent versus 2013. Full year financials for 2014 will be announced during the first quarter of 2015.

Earth Awakens gives us a picture of the New Earth, emerging from the ashes of the old, during the period 2012 to 2030. It includes information on intentional spiritual communities. It also clarifies many of the conspiracy theories circulating on the planet.
December 21, 2012 signaled the end of the Maya long-count calendar. There were numerous prophecies surrounding this date, some of which were fulfilled and others that did not materialize or realize themselves. The purpose of this discussion is to briefly describe what happened, as well as what did not happen, in the hopes that you will have a better understanding of the process of soul evolution and integration and how it applies to the world. A significant number of the conditions and events predicted by this channel and his spirit guides did come to pass, while a few did not. This channel and his guides knew this would be the case, since Earth is a free will planet and human beings choose their experiences and responses to celestial events, to a large extent. Below, we have detailed the things that did happen, as well as those that did not.
The portal opened and energy streamed forth into the planet from the higher realms.
Higher frequencies flooded the planet and accelerated evolution in those who are able to receive the energies.
The Earth's composite vibration reached and exceeded 4.00 on this channel's density scale index.
The Earth's axis moved into position with the Central Sun of the galaxy, as predicted by many psychics.
There were no three days of darkness as predicted by some psychics.
The dark forces did not disappear from the Earth, although life is continuing to become more and more challenging for them in general.
If you are one of the lightworkers on Earth and have been on a spiritual path for some time, you may or may not have been aware of the above changes (and lack thereof). If it felt as though nothing happened, we encourage you not to despair. Soul integration and healing is not an instantaneous process on Earth. The shift of the ages is a catalyst for growth, not an endpoint. You will find that the Apocalypse is continuing. The word Apocalypse means the revealing of that which has been hidden from sight. You will note that more and more negativity is coming to the surface of consciousness to be healed, forgiven and released. This is true on the world stage as well as on an individual level.
The governments, militaries and authorities of the world are on shaky ground. Those institutions that are based on lies and misconceptions are having their improprieties exposed, like the Emperor with no clothes. More and more souls are seeing through the smokescreen of propaganda and cultural programming. They are saying, "No!� to things that do not foster life and cooperation among humans and other species. Although it might appear that things are becoming more negative, this is not true. The truth is that things have been predominantly negative on Earth for thousands of years and we are just now becoming more aware of this. It is all coming to the surface to be healed, forgiven and released.
The Earth changes are continuing. After the precessional alignment, there was a prediction that things would calm down a bit temporarily and then accelerate again as the Galactic Shift began approaching its midpoint. According to this channel's guides the Founders, the midpoint of the Galactic Shift is around 2025 AD. This larger shift will not be complete until around 2100 AD. This is detailed in the author's second book, Earth Changes and 2012.
Due to the extreme imbalances created by humanity's refusal to take responsibility for the planet and her resources, there will continue to be an acceleration of severe storms, earthquakes, volcanoes, floods, droughts, pestilence, etc. As stated repeatedly by this channel and his guides, this is not a punishment for humanity's inappropriate behavior, but rather a natural cause-and-effect relationship based on the law of attraction. Humanity has been predominantly negative in consciousness for a very long time, and now consequences are showing up more rapidly due to the rising frequencies. The delay time between a positive or negative act and its consequences is decreasing. In other words, be careful what you ask for. Not only will it come to pass, but it will manifest much more quickly than before.
It's time to roll up our sleeves and get to work, healing ourselves instead of just paying lip service to the path. This means making a solid commitment to grow and evolve in the highest and best way possible. It means a lot of self-examination and loving honesty with ourselves and others. We cannot hide our truth any longer. Our true motives and passions will be revealed, either gracefully or otherwise. We must be gentle and loving with ourselves, yet firm and vigilant against negativity of any kind. As one author put it, we cannot afford the luxury of a negative thought. We must hold ourselves accountable and hold others accountable as well. That means, at times, being confrontational, especially when we witness acts of violence or negativity toward the Earth and her people.
It's time to wake up and do whatever it takes to bring about the new Golden Age. We have been given a road map by our guides in the higher realms. Now it's our turn to shine. It's time to show the world that we are here, ready to collectively be the saviors of this beautiful planet.


Spring break is rapidly approaching, and it is about time to figure out how to fill the free time. Among various volunteer opportunities provided by Oakland University, Alternative Spring Break is one that students wait all year to apply for.
During these trips, students are involved in multiple mission works including disaster relief, health care, education and tutoring.
In previous years, ASB students have traveled to South Carolina, Texas, Pennsylvania, Florida and Illinois.
Austin, Texas — Thinkery, Any Baby Can, Austin Animal Shelter and Starry: Students will be helping at an animal shelter and doing minor home repairs.
Nashville, Tennessee — Nashville Rescue Mission: Volunteers will be serving at a soup kitchen and working in a warehouse that handles donations for underprivileged people. This option is a new addition this year, according to Emily DeLano, the Center for Student Activities and Leadership Development coordinator of leadership and service learning.
Fort Lauderdale, Florida — Victory Living: Students will be working with an organization that strives to give people with disabilities services and opportunities.
Kissimmee, Florida — Give Kids the World: Volunteers will be serving food and operating rides at this cost-free resort and theme park for children with life-threatening illnesses and their families.
This year, OU's spring break is Feb. 19-26. Attending ASB is an opportunity to make a difference, meet new people and develop new skills during time off from classes.
DeLano gave insight into this year's ASB as she looks forward to her seventh year of volunteering.
She said 70 students volunteer and fly to the various locations. They volunteer around eight hours a day.
The student fee for ASB is $300-$500. This cost includes housing, meals and transportation. DeLano expects ASB's application to include volunteer and leadership experience, hard work and great character.
Cassie Stoutenburg, president of ASB and senior biomedical sciences major, explained ASB from a student perspective. She is going into her fourth year attending the trip.
Stoutenburg's bond with the people in need makes the work worthwhile.
"Seeing the smiles on their faces and hearing the appreciation in their voices makes the early mornings and late evenings on our week off beyond worth it," she said.
Going on a trip with no familiar faces can be a step out of a student's comfort zone. Stoutenburg said attending ASB her freshman year changed her for the better.

Q: How to override the constructor in the base class? I'm making a game in C++. I have a player and enemy class that inherit my mob class. I would like my constructor in the enemy class to have a different constructor than my mob class, but it doesn't seem to work.

}

void Player::render(sf::RenderWindow& window) {
    window.draw(mSprite);
}

Forgot to add my errors:
Error   3   error C2511: 'void Enemy::update(float,Player)' : overloaded member function not found in 'Enemy'   c:\dev\c++\sven\sven\enemy.cpp  16  1   Sven
Error   1   error C2061: syntax error : identifier 'Player' c:\dev\c++\sven\sven\enemy.h    12  1   Sven
Error   2   error C2061: syntax error : identifier 'Player' c:\dev\c++\sven\sven\enemy.h    12  1   Sven

A: In Enemy.h you have void update(float delta, Player player);.  How does the compiler know what a play is?  It cant since you never included the player.h file in enemy.h.  You have to options to fix this you can either include player.h or you could forward declare player and change the function to take a pointer to a player.

Recently I had the opportunity to go to Vienna, Austria to DJ an event for the Austria WCS Spectacle. The event was so much fun, and I got to know a lot of fantastic dancers from all over Europe. Since I was going over there anyway, I decided that it would be a great opportunity to explore Austria. It was my first time to the country, so I was really excited to learn about their culture and experience a different perspective.
Probably the most cliche statement from any Americans coming back from Europe is that Europe is old. Obviously right? What you don't hear as much though is the impact that that has.
Being in a country where many buildings and man made structures predate the founding of our country has a profound effect on your perspective. My friends there were kind enough to introduce me to a restaurant where the basement (where we ate) was built atop old roman structures. There were pieces of architecture and statues that dated to the Roman Empire. Wandering the city, there are also other ruins visible that date back to the Romans.
Much of the architecture in the country was built using techniques long discarded for modern building techniques that are more efficient and less costly. In one part of Vienna, I stood in a square and marveled at a sign on the side of a building telling how Mozart held his first recital in this very building. It was an attractive building, but otherwise unremarkable. Reading that sign however gave me chills. The idea that one of the worlds most influential composers got his start in this very place was absolutely mind blowing.
Can you imagine roman warriors or architects, being in the same spot you are? Being in the building where Mozart played his first recital? It really does stretch the imagination.
Vienna was magnificent. From the stone paved roads, to the elaborate architecture, the city was a marvel of modern and ancient fused together. The shopping district was glamorous and vibrant with the energy of locals and tourists. Every road and alley was flush with the sense of history. Even the doors to the buildings were beautiful works of art. As much as I loved the tourist attractions and historical buildings, I think I liked the apartments and office buildings more… just the regular buildings in some of the older districts The fact that it was just part of life there… and has been for a long time really sank in when viewing the every day lives of the people.
I did really enjoy seeing the horse carriages carrying tourists around the city however. Vienna is a romantic town, full of small shops and restaurants, and plenty for couples to do together. Just walking around the city is a very nice way to spend a day.
Walking around the center of the old city was an experience I would recommend for anyone. The senses are bombarded. From the smell of fresh baked bread, to the ringing of the bells, it's a sensory delight. I especially liked it around dusk as the crowds began to thin. People in Austria keep very early hours. Once evening hit, the city quieted very quickly.
During my stay in Vienna, I navigated by train, subway, and bus. I was able to get anywhere in the city I needed to without worrying about being late or held up by traffic. The transportation was safe, on time and convenient. It was also much cheaper than hiring a taxi.
I think my favorite part about the transportation system though was the people watching. So many different people on the trains. Students, elderly, business people, artists.. a huge variety of people of all ages and walks of life use the public transit. We even passed a stop where a play had recently finished, and all the actors and actresses boarded the subway in full costume.
I think it really gave me a unique snapshot of life in Austria.
I must say that as much as I loved Vienna, the Alps were truly the highlight of the trip for me. I rented a little Suzuki Swift. It was a tiny little car, as most of them are in Austria, and started driving west. The further west I went, the more mountainous it became. I remember how excited I was when I saw my first snow peaked mountain.
Keep in mind that I was born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio. Ohio is a very flat place with no real topography to speak of. In my early thirties, I moved to Clearwater Florida. Also a very flat place. I've visited places with mountains in the past, but nowhere have I been where the mountains were so… present.
Its hard to explain really. Being in a place where the mountains surround you and tower over you… in a land largely unspoiled by commerce and human expansion. Don't get me wrong, there were towns and roads and human life, but it was very different. The general feeling was that the villages were small and very integrated into the landscape… nestled into the valleys at the base of the mountains. It was really remarkable.
So I do have a weakness for good food, and Austria has plenty of it. The food wasn't that odd as cultural fare goes. It was more in the ingredients and preparation that really won me over. The food all felt very natural. Less processed, packaged and preserved. For breakfast, fresh baked rolls, fruit, and meats and cheeses were par for the course. Of course there was schnitzel and turkish kebap.
The highlight however was in Altmunster. I had the opportunity to eat fresh smoked fish from a roadside shack, that had been caught in the lake. It tasted like a cross between trout and salmon. It was honestly, the best fish I've ever had. Also, we stopped at a small restaurant, where they served the same fish breaded and preserved meat of the local mountain goats. Truly delicious fare.
Check into your hotel EARLY.
Many hotels and gasthauses close by 8pm once you're out of Vienna. There were a few nights where we were scrambling to find a place to sleep.
Drink the Beer and Coffee.
I don't like domestic beer here in the states. Many of the imports also just aren't that good. The Beer in Austria was fantastic. Every beer I tried had amazing flavor. Also, since beer is very cheap in Austria, there is really no excuse not to! The coffee in Austria was also remarkable. Here in the states, the coffee tends to either have a sour note, or a bitter note. You have to really look hard to find excellent coffee. In Austria, the coffee had a dark chocolate like mouth texture. It was fantastic just about everywhere I had it.
Rent a Car if you're going to travel the countryside.
Initially we planned to take a train to Salzburg from Vienna, but we realized that for 2 people, renting a car was cheaper. It allowed us to travel to small towns that would have been difficult to see by train, and the freedom to explore on our timetable. Once we got back to Vienna, we gave up the car for public transportation. I'm really glad we got off the beaten path. I highly recommend it.
Having internet is very nice.
I use T-mobile, so I had free 3G internet and texting. It was a huge help there. Internet is painfully slow in Austria at the hotels. I found only one hotel in the 5 that I stayed at where the internet was stable and of a decent speed. The other hotels were unusable.
Bathrooms are not plentiful in Austria. The few public restrooms we ran across required payment to access. Be aware of this and plan accordingly.
Eat breakfast at the Hotel.
Many hotels and gasthauses have breakfast included with your stay. Most of them consist of fresh fruit and bread, butter, jellies and various meats and cheeses. Overall the quality was good, and the prices very reasonable.
Plan to walk a lot. There is a lot of public transportation, but if you really want to see Austria, walking is the best way. Between trains, subways, and generally getting around to sight see, I walked on average 5-6 miles a day.
My name is Mineh Ishida. I am passionate about marketing, design, photography and traveling. This is my blog where I share my thoughts about the world I live in and tips that I've found useful.


 Public Lab: How can I identify bits of plastic from the beach in an image?
Question: How can I identify bits of plastic from the beach in an image?
A friend at Greenpeace asked me if there's a way to automate counting micro-plastic particles from beach surveys.
I played around a bit with the Image Sequencer, but it wonder if there's a relatively simple filter I can apply to the RGB channels to find edges, without having to predefine the colors I want to extract.
I attached an example image, which could also be on a dark background if that would help with the lighter pieces. Once we have a good filtering process, we'd want to build a simple webapp to let people take photos and do counts themselves.
Ooh! @maxliboiron maybe you know something about this? I have to dig through some old emails to find someone else who's mentioned this to me too.
What might be the processing steps, to try to break this down? Could they look like some of the steps @SimonPyle, @AmberWise, @damarquis and @amirberAgain have prototyped for dust detection?
I collected up a bunch of this work under the tag #particle-imaging too.
Could you upload a few more image samples? Is it possible to ask that the samples be illuminated from a wide light source such that shade will be kept to a minimum? Is it possible to place a scale on the side of the image?
I tried to apply the same simplistic approach as was in the particle image. Not sure why, but Sobel didn't work, but Canny did. Other than that - this is a more difficult problem, the particles are not as spaced out and are actually touching, some pieces are the same color and brightness as the background, others have a sharp color variation inside of the particulate. I think that we have a large set of images it would be easy enough to start generating image snippets that could then be rated, annotated and labeled by crowdsourcing. But my inexperienced gut feeling is that this would pose a harder problem than the dust particles. In the image below red rectangles are based on hue (none found - need to figure out why), green rectangles are based on the Saturation channel and blue rectangles are on the value (sorta grayscale).
Thanks @amirberAgain. I've contacted my friend at Greenpeace and asked him for some more images with less overlap and a wider array of lighting conditions. They're just trying to figure out if this is viable at the moment, so thanks for your insight.
Another ask/ suggestion would be to image using black/uv light, most plastics would show strong signs of fluorescence which might help descriminating them from the background. If we get really lucky they might be able to use it to tell types of plastics and get an indication to the time it would take then to decompose.
@maxliboirox: You can't. Not with any accuracy. A few folks have been working in this for years. Nothing yet (or maybe ever).
@maxliboirox: @publiclab Yep-- the microplastics CS project on zooniverse is about ID-ing plastics in photos. They know/outline the limitations pretty well (only large plastics, which accounts for only 7% of all marine plastics), films are hard to see, etc. They've been working in an algorithm to ID large plastics from drone footage, since the other limitation is the resolution and number of photos you'd need to make any count useful.
Another ask /suggestion : place particles on a polarized film sheet illuminated from below, image with a cross polarizer to remove the background.

Unlike child support payments, maintenance (alimony) payments have income tax consequences, as the payments are deductible to the person making the payments and considered income subject to taxation to the person receiving the payments. Maintenance (alimony) is typically ordered for a specific number of years.
The Badanes Law Office Knows All of the Factors That Influence
New York Maintenance (Alimony) Law
A Court can award temporary maintenance and/or post-divorce maintenance. Temporary maintenance is awarded for the period of time between the filing of the divorce action and when the divorce is final (which can be anywhere from several months to several years). Post-divorce maintenance is for maintenance after the divorce is final.
There is a formula to determine the amount, if any, of temporary maintenance. The formula is somewhat complicated, however, in simple terms, the amount of temporary maintenance can be anywhere from 0% to about 30% of your income.
There is no set formula for determining if post-divorce maintenance (alimony) will be awarded, how much will be awarded, and for how long it will be provided. However, the Courts will consider the following factors:
Income of the parties; especially if one spouse earns a high income
Duration of the marriage
Age and health of the parties
Present and future earning capacity of the parties
Ability of the party seeking maintenance (alimony) to become self-supporting
Contributions of the party seeking maintenance
Wasteful dissipation of assets

"I was unusually fortunate to have David Badanes tackle a very technical, complex and stubborn post-divorce issue. He was down-to-earth, practical and diplomatic but nonetheless persistent. He never promised the impossible: he stayed focused on the achievable. An expert in another state observed she'd never seen a situation quite like mine but she came to admire Badanes's grasp of the case and its issues. I sincerely believe there are very few attorneys who could have managed in a case like this to bring about a successful and reasonable resolution."– Dan van B., Huntington, NY

For official plugins released by Bethesda refer to Official Plug-ins.
There are a couple of other wikis and other information sources out there on mods, so we would like to distinguish ourselves from them in the way we approach mod information.
Depth over Breadth: Cover fewer mod and mod subjects, but when we do so, do so in depth.
No Stubs! Do not begin a mod page until you're ready to write an in-depth article.
No Readmes! Do not post the readme here.
In addition to the rules above, we also want to make sure that details should only be given to the depth that is likely to be useful to most mod players.
I.e. the goal is not to exhaustively document every fact about a given mod, but rather to produce guides that are genuinely useful to players of that mod.
In effect (combining this with the "Depth over Breadth" rule), this means that only fairly complicated mods should be documented here.
See Also: For an alternate site that focuses on breadth, presentation of readmes and broad searches, see Oblivion Mod Wiki. Also see download sites (e.g. TesNexus and Planet Elder Scrolls) which provide similar information for their hosted mods.

When a couple moved into a new home in Wayzata ran into one big problem. The master closet in the bedroom wouldn't be big enough to fit both of their wardrobes in it. Luckily there was a guest room in the basement that wasn't being used for anything and was the perfect candidate for a closet makeover. It was big enough to fit an island and had ceiling tall enough to accommodate double hanging his extra tall shirts and pants. He also had lots of ties, belts, and watches that needed to be organized.
The husband is an avid runner, and needed plenty of space to store his extensive shoe collection.
The closet was done in our new Ember textured melamine. Its darker tones give off a masculine vibe. The island counter top is a Cambria Quartz top from their marble collection. The drawers fronts on the island are the transitional style from Uniboard.
Glass doors keep his shirts neat and tidy while also allowing him to see all his clothes at a glance.
It was decided to go all the way up to the ceiling to make it possible to double hang his long sleeved shirts. It was finished with a contemporary crown to give it a modern built in look.
Each rod has LED lights in them to help make picking out the right outfit easier.
He also wanted lots of tie racks to help store and organize his many ties.
Velvet Lined jewelry trays are perfect for storing watches and bracelets.
Custom drawer dividers are an excellent way to organize belts.

2014 Moulin à Vent, La Rochelle, Olivier Merlin
Red | Ready, but will keep | Olivier Merlin | Code: 31938 | 2014 | France > Beaujolais > Moulin a Vent | Gamay | Medium Bodied, Dry | 12.5 % alcohol
Brilliant ruby. Suave red and blue fruit aromas show excellent clarity and are enlivened by smoky mineral and Indian spice flourishes. Sappy, sweet and expansive, offering intense boysenberry, cherry liqueur and floral pastille flavors and a hint of white pepper. Conveys a suave blend of richness and vivacity and finishes with smooth tannins and an intense echo of sweet blue fruit.
92 Points. Drinking window: 2018-2023
Josh Raynolds, vinous.com, June 2016
The Wine Advocate - The 2014 Moulin A Vent la Rochelle, which spent 18 months in oak barrel, has plenty of fruit on the nose: crushed strawberry, red cherries and black plum. The palate is medium-bodied with succulent fleshy red cherry fruit, the oak nicely integrated and lifted the rounded and harmonious, almost pastille-like finish. Warning: you will finish a bottle far quicker than you anticipate, so have another handy.

Olivier Merlin
Olivier Merlin (originally from the Charolais) is widely regarded as being one of the very finest wine makers in the Mâconnais. He and his wife Corinne (a Montbéliarde) began in 1987 by renting 4.5ha. from René Gaillard, of Domaine du Vieux St Sorlin, who wished to retire. Since then he has been buying the property in stages as well as adding new vineyards such as St Véran (in 1994 & 1996). In September 1997 Olivier took out a negociants' licence in order to be able to make some Pouilly Fuissé, since land in this appellation is neither available to buy nor to rent.
He makes three cuvées of Pouilly-Fuissé (one each from Fuissé, Vergisson and Chaintré) and a Viré-Clessé. From 2000 some Moulin-à-Vent joined the stable. The single-vineyard wines, including Mâcon La Roche-Vineuse Les Cras and St Véran Le Grand Bussière, get 18 months barrel-ageing with 30-50 per cent new wood. The latest big project has been the purchase of a steep slope above the village, En Montessu, and its clearance and replanting after being left fallow for five years with cover crops to help the land recuperate. Olivier has old photographs showing this whole slope covered in vineyard in earlier times.
He has established a reputation as one of the region's most dynamic growers, a reference point for the Maconnais.The whites demonstrate Olivier's exceptional winemaking talents from lowly appellations. They are frequently taken for Côte d'Or wines if tasted blind. His Bourgogne Rouge is at its best after 2 to 3 years when the fruit expresses itself fully.
Jasper Morris MW, author of the award-winning Inside Burgundy comprehensive handbook.
A French variety planted predominately in Beaujolais where it is the grape behind everything from light and often acidic Beaujolais Nouveau through to the more serious and well-structured wines from the 10 cru villages. It takes its name from a hamlet just outside Chassagne-Montrachet and was at one stage widely planted on the Côte d`Or. However it was gradually phased out due to its poor yield and supposed poor quality of its wines.
The majority of Gamay wines in Beaujolais are labelled as Beaujolais or Beaujolais-Villages and are deliciously juicy, easy drinking, gulpable wines. Of more interest are the Cru wines from the 10 villages in the north of the region where the soil is predominantly granitic schist and where the vines are planted on gently undulating slopes. These can be well-structured, intensely perfumed wines, redolent of ripe black fruits and, while delicious young, will reward medium term cellaring.
Gamay is also grown in the Touraine region of the Loire where it produces soft, well-balanced, gluggable wines for drinking young.
Moulin a Vent
Known as the 'King of Beaujolais' for its power, structure and longevity, Moulin-à-Vent is the most atypical of all the Beaujolais Crus, even if it is potentially the best. Its style is the antithesis of light, fluffy Beaujolais, and when fully mature (often at 10 years old or more) it resembles more a fine Burgundy, or even a Rhône, than Beaujolais. Named after the local windmill (which translates as moulin-à-vent in French) Moulin-à-Vent is a real vindication of the principle of 'terroir'.
Moulin-à-Vent's neighbour Fleurie produces perfumed, silky, approachable wines, while Moulin-à-Vent, using the same grape (100% Gamay) and broadly the same vinification, makes wines that are meaty, tannic and intense, and need 2-3 years to mature. The only possible explanation, it seems, is the high proportion of iron and manganese in Moulin-à-Vent's soil. Moulin-à-Vent tends to be most expensive of the Beaujolais Crus, although happily it is home to a number of very fine producers, so there is plenty for wine lovers to choose from.

Opinion: Handset Makers, Not Good enough, Must Try Harder
Simon Allum May 22, 2012
It is seven months since the launch of the latest incantation of Google's mobile operating system, Ice Cream Sandwich. Since October 19th 2011, there have been 3 revisions and the OS is now on version 4.0.4
Within a few days of the release of the SDK, ROMs started appearing on the ever resourceful XDA-Developers for the Nexus S and even sooner after the release of the source code came some full blown stable releases that could be used as your everyday operating system.
So, here we are seven months later and I get a handset delivered for a review. It's brand spanking new and top of the range. All shiny and expensive looking with its big old screen just begging to be played with.
So, I charge this nameless handset and power it up expectantly. Imagine my absolute horror to find the green theme from Android Gingerbread staring back at me.
The first thing I do is check the box. Is it the right handset or is it the old one? Nope, its the right one. Quick, go on the website, what's going on here? Only to find that the spec is correct, they haven't made any massive mistakes and yes, the brand spanking new handset with all its bells and whistles comes with Gingerbread with no set date for an upgrade.
So a major manufacturer that has massive resources at its beck and call, releases a new handset to much fanfare and trumpeting, then loads it with a mobile OS that is nearly 18 months old and 4 releases behind the current one.
The manufacturer will remain nameless but it's not the only one. Panasonic for example have recently entered the smartphone foray with the Eluga – fully loaded with gingerbread and no fixed release date for ICS. Sony have released their flagship Xperia S, not only have they loaded gingerbread, they have also actively encouraged people to beware of upgrading to ICS when it is finally available. The Samsung Galaxy Note, another high end device is only just receiving its ICS update while the Galaxy Ace Plus ships with Gingerbread.
The only exception seems to be HTC whose current range all ship with Android 4.0
As an Android lover, it pains me to do this but lets turn to Apple for a second.
iOS 5.0 was released on October 12th 2011. Plug your phone into iTunes and it updates. No messing (providing your hardware wasn't too old), since then there have been 3 further updates and yes, simply plug in your device and away you go again for an update.
Now whilst I realise that Apple are writing for one set of devices and all variables are known, the Android manufacturers could learn a lesson or two here.
Samsung, Sony, Motorola and Panasonic are all multi-billion dollar companies with massive resources and immense R & D departments at their beck and call. There are some 300 million android devices in circulation today and less than 5% of them are running ICS. Thats right, 15 million devices out of 300 million are on the latest operating system. Admittedly some of them won't ever be running Android 4.0 but how long will it be before the ones that can will have an update available?
So come on Sony, Samsung and all you other culprits. Stop treating the people who make you some immense profits like fools. The same people who shell out small fortunes for the latest and greatest kit will soon realise that they are not really getting the best and will start to look elsewhere and there will always be someone willing to provide the best for them.
The major manufacturers MUST up their game for there is a lesson to be learned from the rather speedy fall of Nokia and that is, If you don't keep ahead of everyone else there will always be someone willing to take over from you and that they can do anything you can do and do it better!!

Q: [flash]Using the same variable names for another scene i'm new to AS3 programming.
I'm currently making a game where i'll have various game levels, each level being a different scene.
I've created the 1st level, but when i copied the scene to make the 2nd level, and consequently, used the same variable names as the other scene, the redefintion of the variables conflicts .
Isn't there a way that I tell the program to not go get the variables from the other scene, so it doesn't conflict redefining them?
Need quick help please, as this is a school project and I'm running short on time.
Thanks anyway.

A: I never search about it but you probably cant. When you create a function on the first scene, you can use it on scene 2. Just try to create functions and use them on scene 2 so you dont get any conflicts error. :)

This workshop aimed to share knowledge and understanding of diffuse pollution issues and management opportunities in the Water of Fail catchement, Ayrshire, to (I) update the farming community in the Water of Fail catchement on findings from the recent SEPA one-to-one visits; (II) raise awareness about potential funding opportunities for implementing on-farm measures to reduce diffuse pollution impacts; and (III) share experiences of land and water management from across academic, farmer, catchement stakeholder and regulator perspectives.
This project provides insights into barriers of implementing diffuse source pollution features on farms. It showed that farmers need financial incentives to invest in certain features but also that some features are considered to be impractical for their local farm context.
A farmer focus group was held on the 22nd of February 2012. Four presentations by key stakeholders and catchement researchers (SEPA, Ayrshire Rivers Trust, SAC and University of Stirling) were provided to stimulate discussion and debate on issues relevant to livestock farming. A brief questionnaire was also used to evaluate farmer attitudes towards particular on-farm measures (confidence in effectiveness, practicality, suitability for implementation) and sources of funding for their implementation.
This form of workshop is useful for disseminating knowledge on diffuse source pollution: 9 of the 10 farmers present agreed or strongly agreed that the event had increased their knowledge on the subject.
From the questionnaire carried out at the event it was found that there is low confidence in the role of the creation and management of wetlands/ponds. The researchers concluded that this is perhaps an area that needs enhanced coverage at future events in terms of opportunities that may arise through their implementation on-farm. Stream bank fencing, livestock crossing points and increased slurry storage all scored favourably in terms of farmer confidence in these options delivering water quality benefits.
Finally, the perceived practicality of implementing mitigation measures on farms was sought from the participants: Wetland creation was perceived to be of low practicality (however if financial assistance was provided then farmers would be willing to take part).
Feedback from the farmers present at this meeting suggests that there is still much to do in terms of communicating the message and value of fundamental management strategies (such as nutrient management planning) to reduce diffuse pollution from agriculture. Options such as strembank fencing and increased manure storage are perhaps viewed as more obvious mitigation strategies with clear and direct impacts on water quality through restricting access of livestock to streams and greater flexibility of managing risk through better timing of manure applications but further awareness of the value (both environmentally and financially) of nutrient management planning is clearly needed.


Mystery Roulette x38 casino game reminds a standard variant like European Roulette online developed with few curious options – extra sections on the wheel making the gameplay harder, however more lucrative with higher payouts due to increased amount of divisions.
Reveal all riddles of gameplay with Info button displaying in this case not only traditional combinations for wagering in parallel with its modified payouts, but also all data about additional sections ? and ??, that are called Mystery Fields triggering special features with lucrative awards.
You are offered to spin the ball in two ways: Spin – ordinary mode opening animated wheel. You observe it running like at the real casino, while if Quick Spin is selected, wheel is turned just for few seconds and the outcome is displayed immediately. Select the one you like and start playing Mystery Roulette game online with placing chips on the table.
Extra sections are placed on each side of zero and colored in shades of blue color. In general this game involves 38 divisions situated on the wheel and wagering area.
Various denomination chips are put under the staking area – take any of it and put on appropriate place. Remove chips option deletes any chosen stake from any betting area. At the same time Remove all Chips option clears the whole field for you to place new bets.
To make process of playing Mystery Roulette online game more convenient, you can operate with option Last Bet if you stick to certain strategy or just intend to repeat the preceding wager. For regulating any effects settings consult the Tools section in the right corner.
After all settings and adjustments are completed, it's time to place wagers - this point is really crucial one. Stake division inside/outside is saved in this game, but with modifications in payouts. The limits are user-friendly and range from 0.50 (the minimal) to 5000 (the ultimate) indexes.
When you play Mystery Roulette online, you can see two special Mystery Fields. They trigger special games, in case of appearing on the wheel. You are offered various prizes depending on the signs which come out on the screen.
If you staked for ? and this icon became winning, you trigger one Mystery bonus with a special with sectors colored in shades of blue offering various payouts starting from x10 field bet and going up to x100 field bet.
As about ?? sector, if it comes out, be ready to open more options at the supplementary spin mode. The wheel appeared in this round is also divided into various blue sections with multipliers starting from x2 and the most lucrative one is 500 times.
Even though chances to collect bonus rounds is low, no matter if you are playing Mystery roulette game free or selected its real version, but it is still too tempting not to try Mystery Roulette adventure. At the same time, owing to special additions, the payouts for ordinary bets are enlarged - Single number pays x38 and so on. Estimate this game and we hope that it will be among the top ones for you.

Danbury War Memorial - "To Honor The Dead, To Serve The Living"
DANBURY -- This year will be the last that the Danbury War Memorial sells commemorative bricks honoring local veterans, past and present, on its Veterans Walkway of Honor.
The walkway, created in 2013, now includes more than 500 bricks engraved with the names and military branches of local veterans or of residents' family members who have served.
Brick sales have slowly declined over the past several years, however, so it is no longer a cost-effective fundraiser for the memorial, said volunteer organizer Lee Teicholz.
"I would love to continue putting bricks in at no charge just to honor our veterans, but that's just not feasible," he said. "Between the purchasing of the bricks, the installation costs and the minimum order fee, we wouldn't be able to raise any money anymore."
Instead, memorial organizers have decided to end the sales this fall ahead of the annual Veterans Day ceremony.
Bricks can be purchased for $75 by anyone interested in honoring a veteran, whether they live in the city or not. A larger 8-inch-square brick is available for $150 and logos can be added for an additional $25.
Teicholz, a longtime Danbury police officer, never served in the military, but his father fought in Europe during World War II and his son now serves in the Connecticut Army National Guard. He and his wife Mary Teicholz pitched the idea for the walkway in 2012 when she served on the City Council.
Since then it has raised $71,200, of which more than $41,000 went to support programs at the Danbury War Memorial and nearly $14,000 more for eight area nonprofits serving veterans, Teicholz said.
Lee Teicholz said he'll miss organizing the sales every year, but will continue to help care for those that have been laid so far and to volunteer at the memorial.
"It's just amazing seeing the families go down there with the person they honored," he said. "It's very touching, especially for the World War II veterans. The best part was being able to put many bricks next to each other for all the family members who served."
The final deadline to order bricks will be Oct. 8. Orders can be placed online at www.veteranswalkwayofhonor.org.

The Danbury War Memorial was built in 1951 and was designed and built in honor of the men and women who fought in World War I and II. Just after World War II ended, every morning, students at Danbury High School put their pennies and nickels in a pot to fund a memorial to honor those who so recently served their country.
