Last weeks flight by NC Near Space showed how easy near space glider flights can be.
Paul from NC Near Space picks up the story.
"On Feb 28, 2016 Paul launched a flight of the NSL-41 rig with a larger balloon and a different camera angle. It was a perfect flight as HAB goes. And a glorious day for driving in eastern NC.
The payload was a 4′ foam glider with an AP510 APRS tracker and an 808 #16 B camera. Like NSL-41, the balloon was attached to the glider's nose with a plastic hook and ring. This time, the camera was mounted such that the lens was looking out the bottom of the fuselage of the glider. The camera circuitry was placed beside the batteries to keep them warm. This resulted in the 16×9 aspect ratio of the camera being along the length of the glider — requiring the video to be rotated 90 degrees to be seen correctly (ie. it looks like a bad iPhone video). With this perspective though, the camera records the horizon during ascent and the ground during descent.
After previous glider tests, a large 1600g cell was chosen for this flight. A 6m bridle was added in hopes of minimizing snagging on the balloon like NSL-41. The AP510 ran on its native 2900mAh LiPo and an additional 2000mAh LiPo was added for the camera. This put the entire payload at 370g, but ensured that an over-current condition on the camera would not doom the APRS transmitter. 2000mAh wasn't expected to last the entire flight, but it fit the size and mass budget. The AP510 was set to record information internally at 5 second intervals for extra data points. The balloon was filled with enough hydrogen to give it about 1000g of neck lift, or roughly 4m/s ascent rate.
This flight was launched from Paul's home in Apex during a brief lull in the winter jet stream. The track was a meander back and forth in eastern NC. It was launched just after sunrise, while winds were calm, and the sun angle gave more depth.
Balloon pieces after burst. Wilmington area in the background.
Maximum recorded altitude was 41908.5m (137495 ft). At burst, the balloon and bridle detached [0:43 in the video] as expected and the glider nose-dived towards the earth. The thin air gave us our highest recorded descent of 444mph !! Eventually the surfaces of the glider began to catch thicker air and it slowed down. To shed speed, the glider was balanced to generate a stall. So it stalled or performed loops all the way down. Due to the light winds and long flight, the recovery crew was able to be at the landing site and made several attempts to view the glider as it approached. It finally came into view in the last 30 seconds of flight — looping and darting. The glider stalled at the tree tops and then dove nose-first into the ground, snapping off the plastic nose hook. The crew recovered the payload within moments of landing.
There was concern at the beginning of the flight that there had been a miscalculation of weight or lifting gas — the ascent rate started off low. But once the sun was fully up, the ascent rate picked up. There was a slight dip in the ascent rate approaching burst, but nothing like the pre-burst drops to zero as seen in other flights. The descent rate plot clearly shows the stalling of the glider.
Note how the internal temperature increased above the Tropopause. The outside of the electronics compartment was covered in black duct tape (or colored with a black Sharpie) to increase solar heating. Upon descent, cold air was forced into the compartment and the temperature plummeted. This particular AP510 firmware has a known issue with correctly recording on-board temperatures below 0C. But the APRS transmitted temps worked fine, so we were able to reconstruct the temperature profile.
Note, APRS trackers cannot be used on UK HAB flights.
Diego, Paul from the team told me, "The data from APRS can feed directly into Google Earth and can create these automatically. This is often useful to compare live data with projections.

If you want to know how to get rope in Dead In Vinland, then read this post as it was written just for people like you.
Rope is vital for the survivors because it's used in most crafting recipes and meaningful upgrades. It's one of the crafting components you'll find you're missing the most.
Harvesting Rope: Where to Get Rope?
Dead In Vinland has a lot of exploration events, one per each area, and some of them do provide rope.
However, you're going to have a really bad time if you depend on those events.
The best way to acquire rope is by harvesting it, and by harvesting it we mean going to the herbalist and focus on collecting "Hemp". Alternatively, farm hemp in the garden.
You can then hit the Forge building and craft your Hemp to bundles of Rope so you can then craft at ease.
For those who don't have these buildings yet, and you're wondering how to get rope, then there are alternative ways to do it.
Loki trades rope – so you can find the guy in the exploration part of the game and trade with the God to acquire this resource.
On the other hand, the most reliable way to loot rope is to fight for it.
Click the expedition camp and select the option to "look for a fight". This will increase the chances of getting encounters, and these encounters grant you loot.
Among those pieces of loot you'll sometimes find rope, and I know this supply already saved me from some tight spots.
That's it, getting rope in Dead In Vinland is as simple as this. Granted that it can be time consuming to produce and very rare to find elsewhere, but the means to acquiring it are these, so pick one and start working!

Previously, we looked at how to improve your blog writing as you plan and write your post. Today we will look at ways to improve your blog posts as you get your editing pen out.
It can feel quite personal if a colleague is critiquing your writing. But if you have to edit it yourself here is a handy checklist of eight dos and don'ts to really tighten up your blog copy.
Try to inject some action and emotion into your blog posts, so that it resonates with your audience. If you have spent some serious time building buyer personas you will understand what your audience care about and therefore what they might respond to.
Editing your post shows that you care enough about your reader to make your work succinct, clear and informative, maybe even entertaining.
But before you edit, take a break from the words.
I often write a blog post in the morning at home, then travel into work and take another look at it in the afternoon. It's amazing what a fresh look at your writing will reveal.
Alternatively, get a colleague to do the editing for you.
See what I did there? Simplify your language – make your blog posts easy to read.
Don't imagine that flowery language and long words will make your readers think that you are the voice of authority.
Clear communication of your thoughts and messages will mean that your readers will want to read more of your easily digestible posts.
You should eschew obfuscation (always wanted to write that).
Keep your language active. The passive voice has less impact and makes your writing seem less dynamic.
Cut out words like "very, just, really, in order to" which are padding to your writing. I have been using Grammarly, which makes good suggestions like these as you write. It's worth a look.
If you must use Acronyms, explain them the first time you use them, and just keep them to a minimum.
Contractions will make your post sound more conversational and informal (you will = you'll).
The shorter the sentences the easier it is to read. Space them out too, it will improve your blog posts readability.
Everybody loves whitespace – it's so Zen.
Imagine you are writing personally to a key contact. That will make your posts much more intimate and engaging.
This should go without saying. And remember to double check it, as most spell checkers can't tell the difference between 'to' and 'too', 'their' and 'there' etc.
With some thoughtful editing, as you can see, you really can improve your blog posts. Combine that with the previous blog writing tips and you should be well on your way to some well-structured, engaging content.
But if this all sounds like too much work and your day is already full to the brim, there is another way. Find a friendly marketing agency that specialises in Inbound Marketing and ask them to help.
Then you can explain what you want and get them to deliver the content, all within an Inbound Marketing framework.
If you'd like to talk to us about this or any other aspect of your marketing, please get in touch. Or come along to our next event.
P.S. Please let me know if this shorter post format works for you in the comments section below.

Awaiting Aquatic Center Sunny Isles Floats More Project Plans
Written by Meena Rupani on May 27, 2010
By Meena Rupani
Sunny Isles Beach, waiting on Wometco Enterprises to get both financing and a developer to build an aquatic center between east and west Sunny Isles Boulevard, is preparing to move ahead with a cluster of other city projects in the meanwhile.
The city has purchased four acres for the aquatic center and the other capital improvements.
The proposed Wometco Aquatic Center is to include a garage, restaurants, shops, two banquet halls and three-story aquarium where stingrays may be petted. The garage is to handle 140 to 150 cars and banquet halls are to accommodate 1,000, according to the initial site plan presented by Eduardo Castiñeira, president and CEO of Axioma3Architects, and Arthur Hertz, chairman of Wometco Enterprises. Wometco also owns and operates the Miami Seaquarium on Virginia Key.
"The initial site plan has not been altered. There may be slight changes as time goes on," Mr. Castiñeira said. "For now, we have received the preliminary thumbs-up from the city. However, formal negotiations still need to be made."
"Mr. Hertz has not yet indicated to the city that he will not be forward on this project," said Hans Ottinot, Sunny Isles Beach city attorney. "If the financing for the aquatic center does not go through, then a park will definitely be built."
Mr. Hertz did not return repeated phone calls.
"Wometco is in the process of negotiating with the banks," Mr. Castiñeira said. Although the company has not yet hired a firm to evaluate costs of the aquatic center, Mr. Castiñeira estimates it to be at least $60 million.
Rick Conner, Sunny Isles Beach city manager, had a similar view regarding status of the aquatic center.
"Not only are we in the early stages of getting the finances for the aquatic center," Mr. Conner said, "but also in the very early design stages. Wometco has also yet to hire a developer for the project."
Sunny Isles expects to spend an additional $15 million building the park and a 350-car underground garage. The complex could open as early as 2013.
"There is nothing new happening with the aquatic center at the moment. No upcoming meetings have been planned as of yet," said Mayor Norman S. Edelcup.
In addition to the park and aquatic center, the city has contracted with Calvin, Giordano and Associates to develop capital improvement projects that include the Heritage Parking Garage, currently under construction, a fishing pier and a bridge that are awaiting permits, and a skate park that is being designed at the moment, according to Chris Giordano, project administrator. The firm offers engineering, land planning, government regulatory compliance and data technologies and developmental issues.
At the May 20 city commission meeting, Mr. Conner and Calvin, Giordano and Associates agreed on contract length and amount for the capital improvement projects.
According to meeting minutes, the contract is not to exceed $130,000 and will be renewed automatically on a yearly basis. If the city wishes to pull out, the firm must be told at least 60 days in advance.
Completion dates for each project vary as they are all in different stages.
"If we are still under contract with the city at the time when the aquatic center is being built, we will become involved in that project as well," Mr. Giordano said.
"The skate park, Heritage park and parking garage are expected to be open Oct. 1 in order for the residents to utilize them during the jazz festival, which occurs Oct. 7," Mr. Conner said. The bridge has no estimated completion date yet and the pier is expected to open in four months.
Mr. Giordano said these projects would benefit the community.
"The current in-place pier is closed due to the unsafe nature of the existing pier. By demolishing the existing pier and rebuilding a new one, it will allow the citizens to once again utilize this great asset for sightseeing, fishing and people-watching," he said.
"Having the finances for the aquatic center will be a major steppingstone in this project," City Attorney Ottinot said. "Otherwise, the city will be creating a plan B."
The city already has the finances to construct the park and the other capital improvements, Mr. Ottinot said. "In terms of the aquatic center, we are currently in the concept stage, and with the finances we could move into the implementation stage."

Artists have spent hundreds of years pitting design against color as the most important element in painting. The influential artist, writer and teacher Josef Albers (1888–1976) placed his bet on color.
Albers initially trained as an elementary-school teacher. He didn't commence his artistic studies until age 32, when he studied under Johannes Itten at the groundbreaking Bauhaus school in Germany. Albers subsequently joined the faculty — a bevy soon-to-be artistic headliners including Wassily Kandinsky and Paul Klee.
After the Bauhaus was forced to close by the Nazis, Albers immigrated to the U.S. He taught at the equally groundbreaking Black Mountain College in North Carolina and later became the head of the design department at Yale.
Over the course of his teaching career, Albers developed a methodology that emphasized experiential learning, challenging his students with exercises that disrupted their perceptual strategies and helped them see the world with fresh eyes.
Study to Homage to the Square: Warm Welcom by Josef Albers, 1953-55, oil on masonite.
For Albers, the perception of color and how it appears to the human eye had little resemblance to the physical properties outlined in scientific prismatic systems. Color, he theorized, was relational — and infinitely mutable.
Rather than basing the study of color on rigid systems, Albers offered his students a sequence of simple exercises for observing how the perception of color changes in certain contexts. His research culminated in the 1963 publication of Interaction of Color, which is still considered an essential text for art students — it boasts its own iPhone app.
Albers' studio work was as accomplished as his research. His Homage to the Square series comprises hundreds of paintings that rigorously explore chromatic relationships with nested squares. Painted on Masonite with a palette knife and oil colors, these hard-edged abstractions were initially viewed as impersonal and anathema to the large-scale gestural works of his contemporaries.
Eventually, the world caught up to Albers, and his influence can be seen in Minimalism, Color Field painting and Op Art. Albers' art and teaching sought to define what he called the "normal human eye" and determine what it can and cannot perceive. When artists understand those limitations, they can create work powerful enough to expand the perceptual range of those who encounter it.
Well, it was certainly with Albers. It's also with the prismatic power of every stroke you create with pen and wash. Explore these streaming videos to discover how to use this medium and what color-centric art awaits.

– MEET THE ARTIST –
The Master Photographer at Lentille Photography, she brings over eight years of experience to the team. When she isn't photographing families, she is busy teaching other photographers and helping them learn the art and expand their knowledge in their craft.
Catherine resides in West U with her husband and their four littles (ages 9, 6, 3, & 2). When she isn't wearing a cape and chasing them around, making sure they are up to no good, she is finding a quiet corner to read about photography or doing something to expand her own knowledge in the craft she loves so much.
She:
Wishes she was a runner
Is a pro at hitting the snooze button
Creates the most amazing family videos, for her own family and others
Speaks toddler & is a baby whisperer
Has a magical ability of capturing moments even you would miss. Unposed, genuine moments are her jam.
Has the biggest, fluffiest pup
Will light up the room with her energy
The perfect portrait doesn't exist.
It's those moments in between that you will cherish the most, and Catherine will make sure your family will have them in print, or bound in an album.
The Owner and Principal Photographer of Lentille Photography, she opened the business in Fall of 2012. After a few years of building the business, studio doors were opened in early 2016. Nestled in historic downtown Stafford, it's a cute little building that is flooded with natural light, and it's her happy place.
She's mama to two boys, Charlie & Cullen & wife to Kelly.
Before opening the business, she earned her BSN and worked as a labor & delivery nurse for six years
She's a rule follower, to the max
She has two rescue pups
She believes in philanthropy
She has an affection for rap music, and makes zero apologies.
She's never content. Lots on her plate makes her happy, and she loves having projects in the works.
She spends her down time fishing with the family, playing with the boys, and traveling.
Most of all, she's truly found her calling.
She loves, loves, loves the moment when a client sees the artwork she's created for their family.
Meet Hope
The amazing Studio Manager and Session Coordinator for Lentille Photography.
She is the one who wears every hat & runs this ship.
While you'll see Allison & Catherine on the "front lines", Hope is the one who makes sure the machine is running smoothly.
When you email, she will answer.
When you DM, she is there.
When you call, she is the one who chats with you.
She is 'mama' to Jack, a fiesty & funny red head
She has two rescue pups who keeps her on her toes
She's constantly reading and learning about business, because she strives to be on the forefront of it all.
Currently homeschooling her son, she can also apparently juggle life like a pro
Easily scared, she is usually the victim of Allison's pranks
Everyone needs a Hope in their lives, and this business would be lost without her.
Lentille Photography specializes in maternity, newborn, baby, and family photography in the Houston area, including Sugar Land, Katy, The Heights, The Woodlands, Spring, West University Place, River Oaks, Rice Village, Pearland, and Friendswood.

Pablo Rodriguez surveyed the empty water aisle at a Fort Lauderdale Winn Dixie with dismay, saying "I was hoping to get a few cases."
The 65-year-old said he would have to try other shops, because "all the people are stocking up quick."
Said Webster: "I got some water already but I wanted more."
Hurricane Allen hit 190 mph in 1980, while 2005's Wilma, 1988's Gilbert and a 1935 great Florida Key storm all had 185 mph winds.
Experts say Irma's strength is a result of unusually warm water for that part of the Atlantic.
Miami-Dade County's mayor says residents and visitors should be prepared to evacuate Miami Beach and most of the county's coastal areas as Hurricane Irma heads toward Florida.
Gimenez activated the emergency operation center and urged residents to have three days' worth of food and water. The mayor reminded residents that tap water was a good resource, telling them to fill up bottles with tap water now.
Monroe County spokeswoman Cammy Clark says in a news release that a mandatory evacuation for tourists will begin at sunrise Wednesday. An evacuation plan for residents is also underway but a timetable hasn't been determined.
Clark says government offices, parks and schools will close and there will be no shelters in Monroe County. The county's three hospitals are also beginning evacuation plans.
Scott said Tuesday that the exact path of the storm is still unknown but officials "must prepare for the worst."
On Monday he declared a state of emergency in all of Florida's 67 counties.
Antigua's airport has closed with an ominous statement from local authorities as Hurricane Irma approaches the Caribbean island.
The statement from the V.C. Bird International Airport says it is shutting down Tuesday and advises all visitors and residents of the two-island nation of Antigua and Barbuda to seek protection from the "onslaught" of the Category 5 storm.
It closes with: "May God protect us all."
Rossello thanks Kelly in a tweet for "the attention given to Puerto Rico" as the storm approaches.
Gov. Kenneth Mapp says in a news briefing that he doesn't want to frighten anyone but that forecasters predict the storm could skirt the territory or even pass directly over it.
Mapp says people in the islands may start to feel the storm's effects around midmorning Wednesday.
Irma's maximum sustained winds increased to 175mph (280 kph) early Tuesday. It was centered about 270 miles (440 kilometers) east of Antigua and moving west at 14 mph (22 kph).

Le barrage de Jons est un barrage sur le Rhône, situé à l'orée du canal de Miribel, à l'emplacement de la division du fleuve en canal de Miribel et en canal de Jonage. Même si, le nom usuel du barrage évoque la proche commune de Jons, celui-ci se trouve entièrement sur le territoire de Niévroz. L'objet principal de ce barrage, est de permettre de limiter le débit du canal de Miribel, pour ainsi favoriser celui du canal de Jonage sur lequel est implantée la centrale hydroélectrique de Cusset.

Présentation
Le projet a d'abord pris du retard, après avoir nourri l'intense spéculation boursière des années 1920 sur l'hydroélectricité. Finalement construit entre 1934 et 1937, selon les plans des architectes Robert Giroud et Antonin Chomel, le barrage est destiné à limiter le débit du canal de Miribel. Ainsi le débit du canal de Jonage est favorisé et cela permet d'augmenter la puissance de la centrale hydroélectrique de Cusset. Le barrage est également pourvu de turbines souterraines destinées à la production d'électricité et qui permet de restituer un débit constant au canal de Miribel, ceci depuis 1966.

Il est par ailleurs constitué de cinq ouvertures d'environ  chacune. Sur la rive gauche (du canal de Miribel), une tour « pointue » d'environ  de haut est érigée.

Netflix's Knock Down the House celebrates our new Congress
On Monday, Netflix released the trailer for their newest original documentary, Knock Down The House, which follows the midterm Congressional campaigns and lives of four of 529 women who ran for Congress in 2018.
These women—Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Amy Vilela, Cori Bush, and Paula Jean Swearengin—have achieved nationwide fame not only because they took part in a revolutionary election cycle, but because they share lives and experiences with the people they campaigned to represent.
The trailer opens on New York Rep. Ocasio-Cortez—now so popular she is widely known as AOC. At the beginning of the primary race, AOC was facing former Rep. Joe Crowley, an established Democrat who hadn't had a challenger in over a decade. As a 29-year old waitress in the Bronx, AOC knew that she would have to prove herself, and did so with a level of grace and grit that has earned her nationwide respect.
Amy Vilela, a former candidate from Nevada's 4th district, decided to run for office following her daughter's untimely death. She put healthcare access at the forefront of her campaign. Cori Bush, a former candidate from Missouri's 1st district, is a pastor-turned-community activist outside of Ferguson. Prior to losing the primary to established Democrat Rep. Lacy Clay, Bush hoped to be the first Black female congresswoman from Missouri. Paula Jean Swearengin, a former U.S. Senate candidate from West Virginia, is an environmental activist from a family of coal miners.
As the trailer concludes, viewers hear AOC over a phone call with Vilela, saying "For one of us to make it through, a hundred of us have to try."
At an important time in political history, this film gives viewers an uplifting narrative to bring them into the new election season and also sheds light on the challenges and triumphs women face and achieve in politics.
Knock Down the House originally premiered at Sundance Film Festival earlier this year and won the Audience Award for US Documentaries. The film, directed by Rachel Lears, will premiere on Netflix on May 1.

Medical Center About Us News 2013 July Catawba Valley Medical Center receives $391,578 in grants from The Duke Endowment
Funding offers hope for extending life span of people with severe mental illness
HICKORY, NC – July 25, 2013 – Catawba Valley Medical Center (CVMC) has received $391,578 in grants from The Duke Endowment to fund the development of Project Enhance. Project Enhance will integrate primary care and mental healthcare into Catawba Valley Behavioral Healthcare (CVBH) to serve individuals with severe mental illness (SMI) and chronic health conditions. The main goals are to improve the health of individuals with SMI; enhance the consumer's experience of care (including quality, access and reliability); reduce and control the per capita cost of care, and extend the life span of participating patients with severe mental illness.
"When we are ill, we suffer as a whole person," said Greg Billings, MSN, RN, NEA-BC, Administrator, CVMC's Psychiatry Services. "While traditional care often focuses on either physical ailments or mental health, the most effective models of care consider the whole person. Through the support of The Duke Endowment, CVMC and CVBH will establish a comprehensive care program for those in our community most at risk from co-occurring physical and emotional health conditions."
"Integrated care is critical when it comes to providing comprehensive services for those at risk," said Mary Piepenbring, Vice President of The Duke Endowment. "We believe this strong partnership will improve health outcomes for many."
Project Enhance is a program that will be used to provide integrated primary and behavioral healthcare through the addition of primary care services to CVBH's existing behavioral health setting. CVBH will serve as the health home for participating behavioral health patients and will provide the core services, in addition to both primary care and behavioral healthcare. Outcomes research for this project will be designed and carried out under the direction of Lenoir-Rhyne University faculty.
Project Enhance is committed to achieving a reduction in hospitalizations, Emergency Department visits, smoking, weight/BMI, and increase in adhering to medication management of chronic diseases. The project will serve a minimum of 350 individuals the first year, 450 the second year, and 600 the third year. CVBH will partner with CVMC, Community Care of North Carolina, Partners Behavioral Health Management, a substance abuse provider, indigent medical clinics, and other agencies to provide linkage to specialty services and other needed resources. While time is needed to show measurable impact, this program will directly address the 25 year discrepancy in longevity for individuals with SMI compared to the general population.
About The Duke Endowment
The Duke Endowment, located in Charlotte, N.C., seeks to fulfill the legacy of James B. Duke by improving lives and communities in the Carolinas through higher education, healthcare, rural churches and children's services. Since its inception, the Endowment has distributed more than $3 billion in grants.
About Catawba Valley Behavioral Health
Catawba Valley Behavioral Health is a nonprofit comprehensive behavioral healthcare provider serving more than 5,000 individuals annually in two community mental health centers, in addition to operating a Psychosocial Rehabilitation Program, Assertive Community Treatment Team, Peer Support, Targeted Case Management, Mobile Crisis Management and residential programs.

Q: Use subdirectory as "second" root For a project at my company I was assigned to create a front-facing site for our product. At this point it lives under its own subdirectory /front but I'd like the files to be accessible from the root directory without messing up any of the default behavior.
Example file structure:
/foo
...file.php
/bar
...index.php
...login.php
/front
.../css
.../js
...index.html
...page.html

I want to be able to access the files under /front as if they aren't even under a subdirectory. So when I go to http://website.com/ I would be seeing /front/index.html. I've accomplished this by adding this to the .htaccess file:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteRule ^$ front/$1 [L]
    RewriteRule ^(.*) front/$1 [L]
</IfModule>

The issue is now I can't seem to access /foo or /bar.
I'd appreciate any help I could get!

A: You can have it this way:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteRule ^((?!front).*)$ front/$1 [L]
</IfModule>

Q: why calling a function within object markup is valid? Can someone please explain to me how this is valid? I never seen anything like it nor I expected it to be valid.
https://gist.github.com/martinaglv/0cf3f564d9c31c053da5#file-13-js

function whatDoesItDo(){

    var values = [];

    myBlock: {
        values.push('1');
        values.push('2');
        break myBlock;
        values.push('3');
    }

    values.push('4');

    return values.join(',');
}

A: funny enough, this thing (myBlock) is a code label, a very old tool used to give names to code blocks. this is widely used while coding, like, assembly when using jump instructions and such. it is also the used in order to use functions like 'goto' (don't it's evil!!).
so, in here this is just a block called "myBlock" that inserts elements into the array. the break means that this is where the code will stop executing in the block (that's why only 2 elements in the array there).
later, after '4' is also inserted, the join method turns the array into a string made from the array's elements, joined by a "," delimiter.
(so it becomes like "1,2,4") and that's the return value

Tuacahn Amphitheatre
November 6, 2019 By wpengine No comments yet
In the spring of 1995, Tuacahn Amphitheatre opened its doors to share with its audiences Tuacahn's first musical theatre production UTAH! It was the beginning of a dream for the Tuacahn Center for the Arts – a dream to heighten the arts, education, and the community it serves.
Now, producing major musical theatre productions, hosting concerts, showcasing hundreds of professional actors and musicians, educating thousands of students, involving thousands of community volunteers, and seating hundreds of thousands of patrons, Tuacahn Center for the Arts celebrates more than two decades of theater excellence!
The musical UTAH! debuted in 1995 and was originally supposed to be Tuacahn's staple and sole production. After four years audiences began to dwindle despite the solidity of the show. In 1999 the Tuacahn Board felt that it needed to shift its strategy and pursue a new direction. A brilliant direction was conceived, and Broadway in the Canyon was born.
Since the opening of Broadway in the Canyon, Tuacahn continues to produce a variety of Broadway hit musicals from Fiddler on the Roof to Singin' in the Rain.
Over the years star performers such as Willie Nelson, Martina McBride, Heart, Amy Grant, Vince Gill, Colby Caillat, Air Supply, Foreigner, Thriller, Peter Cetera, Sheena Easton, Kenny Loggins, Brian Reagan, Jay Leno, REO Speedwagon- and many, many more- have packed the Amphitheatre and echoed their talents between its great red canyon walls.
A few more highlights and additions that have uplifted the Tuacahn experience include Christmas in the Canyon, Live Nativity, the Saturday Market, and a gift gallery.

Semantics semantics, it all comes down to the summary that ALL Illegal Aliens have committed at least one crime just to get or stay here thus making them ALL deport-able, no exceptions.
Yep, glad you caught that. Apparently they have no confidence in their real case so making things up and lying through their teeth passes for justice in their neck of the country. Pathetic. Do your best not to elect idiots pandering to these yahoos. Neither are worthy of the country they claim to defend.
Truth be told if justice were delivered every single employer who has hired these illegals from day one should be handed the bill for deportation right along with every elected official shirking their duty willfully. Socialize the losses privatize the gains... shouldn't those characters be refreshing the tree of liberty about now? Instead morons chase hispanics around with zenophobic insanity while the very parties profiting from the situation whispered sweet evil in the ears of morons. They don't care, they make money either way.
Until the Congress somehow edits or amends or otherwise qualifies the overly broad language used in the first line of the first section of the 14th... not much else that might be done -including fences or full up Greyhound Buses- will matter much.
Focus on this point folks.
To grasp American immigration policy, to the extent that it can be grasped, one need only remember that the United States forbids smoking while subsidizing tobacco growers.
We have immigration because we want immigration. Liberals favor immigration because it makes them feel warm and fuzzy and international and all, and from a genuine streak of decency. Conservative Republican businessman favor immigration, frequently sotto voce, because they want cheap labor that actually shows up and works.
Chasing Hispanics? You mean chasing illegal aliens, don't you? It is moronic to go after illegal aliens? Xenophobic insanity? Uh, xenophobia is a fear of strangers. Just what ethnic group is a stranger to our country? To my knowledge we already have every ethnic group living in our country "legally" and most Americasn don't have a problem with that.
Both the greedy employers and the illegal aliens should be saught after and pay for their lawbreaking.
I see, so only cheap, illegal labor shows up and works? Stereotyping, much?
You forgot one point. The Democrats want them for future voters and to gain the vote of an ethnocentric group of ciitzens.
Illegal immigrants are not just Hispanic. The majority of them indeed are.
The insanity is chasing around Hispanics trying to get votes and keep their party in office while we shell out billions to people breaking a full menu of laws with impunity, all with the excuse that it's for the Hispanic vote. Are these Pro-illegal Americans traitors that scream racist and xenophobes at any mention of treating criminals here from another Country as equals when it pertains to our laws? Which flag are they loyal to?
There are officially two sets of implied laws in this Country. One for the illegals and another, much tougher, set for American Citizens. Apparently our elected officials are quite ok with the Citizens fighting like dogs over all issues impacting our daily lives while they look the other way. In the end they are still in power and that is all that matters to them.

Talk to you current President! if he has his way which he hopes to, illegals will have a pretty clear path to citizenship, coming near a town near you!
Very true what you say. But they would not be able to do any of t his, if our Government, and President were not so soft on them, think they can't see this.
What a joke. How many are going to take the offer when dozens of sanctuary cities are popping up all over the country? 1%? 2%?
The truth is illegal immigration is destroying the middle class. There are simply not enough jobs for everyone as it is. Wages have been driven down for the blue collar workers lucky enough to still have a job.
Still thousands pour over the border each day. Many carry diseases and go to work picking berries and work in restaurants handling the food we eat.

I think you're forgetting some important laws: all illegal aliens are entitled to do what they please and receive US taxpayer-funded services & welfare benefits due to their social status/nationality/ethnicity/race/etc. They may have violated many laws which US citizens are never allowed to violate but said conditions justify them receiving guaranteed free passes for such.
Challenging the legality of illegal alien criminal activities will not be tolerated by the Mexican government, ACLU, La Raza, MALDEF, LULAC, MEChA, etc. because doing such will ALWAYS be considered hate speech and can ONLY come from the mouths of uneducated, xenophobic and anti-hispanic rednecks.
Illegal aliens >>>>> your Yanqui gringo opinions.
Receive benefits...sounds like someone OKed that that action; do you think the illegals voted these "benefits in???
Even if you started deporting today...every one of these laws would still be on the books.

Nedstack is world class in PEM Power Plants
Nedstack's origins lie with PEM Power Plants. With PEM Power Plants, the fuel cell stacks are the system, so we deliver turnkey to your plant. Since early 2007, Nedstack has built extensive operating experience with power plants. At a Chlorine plant in the Netherlands, Nedstack operates a unique testing facility using industrial by-product hydrogen.
70 kW Pilot plant, AkzoNobel, Delfzijl, the Netherlands
The Delfzijl pilot is composed of a PEM fuel cell module with 12 stacks of 75 cells each, the stacks are electrically connected in series. Power output was initially set at 50 kW to operate at high (57%) hydrogen conversion efficiency; later levels were raised to about 70 kW (at 53% efficiency). By January 2017 the fuel cell unit has delivered more than 2.7 GWh of electric power after 55,000 hours of operation on the local grid. Plant operation continues with an uptime typically > 90%. As shown on the picture, the entire installation is fitted inside a standard 20 ft sea container.
This set-up enables Nedstack to test its stacks under industrial conditions for thousands of hours. New components and concepts have to pass long term tests in this facility before they are incorporated in our stacks that are sold to customers.
Stacks installed in the Dutch chlor-alkali plant have been in operation for over 25,000 hours. Voltage degradation levels indicate an economic stack life towards 40,000 hours. The system design is such that stacks are quickly and easily exchanged, minimizing down time (and preparing it for yet another long system life span).
1 MW plant at Solvay, Belgium
Based on our results with AkzoNobel, chemical giant Solvay chose Nedstack for a 1 MW PEM fuel cell generator for their Solvic chlor-alkali plant in Lillo, near Antwerp (Belgium). This 1 MWe unit consists of a number of modules switched in parallel, enabling uninterrupted operation. Not only does it convert hydrogen into electricity, the heat produced by the conversion of hydrogen is recovered pre-heating a process flow from a neighbouring process. In January of 2012, only a year after Solvay and Nedstack signed their partnership, this unit became operational.
Watch our video on the 1 MW PEM power plant:
Recently this unit has been relocated outside Europe and will be connected to a hydrogen flow from an oil refinery. Functional tests are planned in 2017.
2MW plant at Ynnovate, Yingkou, China
In January 2015, a contract was signed for the delivery of the world's largest PEM Power Plant between Ynnovate Sanzheng Fine Chemicals Co. Ltd, Nedstack fuel cell technology, and its partners MTSA and AkzoNobel Industrial Chemicals. After shipment to China, and site installation this 2 MWe unit was started up in September 2016.

module Lesson02 where

-- Each of our lessons is going to end up reusing a lot of the
-- same code, like the definitions of Suit and Rank. Instead of
-- copy-pasting all of that, I've created a module called Helper
-- that contains that shared code. Then we just need to *import*
-- that module to make those data types, functions, and values
-- available here.
import Helper

-- In this lesson, we're going to want to shuffle our deck and
-- deal out a few hands for 5-card stud. To do so, let's import
-- a helper library that will let us shuffle:
import System.Random.Shuffle

-- If you want more information about that module, click on it and
-- then click the "Info of identifier" icon below (the "i" just above
-- the messages tab).

main = do
    -- We defined deck in Helper, but it's always in the same order.
    -- Let's get a randomly shuffled deck.
    shuffled <- shuffleM deck

    -- shuffled is now a list of Cards. If you want to see that,
    -- double-click on the word shuffled, and in the Messages tab
    -- you should see:
    --
    --     shuffled :: [Card]
    --
    -- The :: means "is of type", and the square brackets around "Card"
    -- means "a list of." Altogether, that means "shuffled is of type
    -- list of Card," which is just a stilted way of saying "shuffled is
    -- a list of cards."
    --
    -- Now that we have a list of shuffled cards, we want to take the first
    -- five cards and "deal" it to player one, then the next five cards and
    -- deal to player two. To do that, we'll use splitAt:
    let (player1, rest) = splitAt 5 shuffled

    -- player1 is now a list with 5 cards, and rest is a list with the other 47.
    -- One important thing to mention is that the original shuffled list *didn't
    -- change.* Haskell has something called immutable data. Instead of destroying
    -- the old list of cards, we've created two new lists of cards based on the
    -- original.
    --
    -- Now let's get the second player's hand. We *could* use splitAt, but we don't
    -- actually care about the rest of the deck in this case. Instead, we'll use the
    -- simply take function:
    let player2 = take 5 rest

    -- Notice that we took the 5 cards from rest, not shuffled. Think about what
    -- would happen if we took from shuffled instead. Then try changing the code
    -- and see if your assumptions were correct.

    -- Alright, time to print out the hands:
    putStrLn "Player 1:"
    print player1
    putStrLn "Player 2:"
    print player2

{-

Remember: make sure to switch your target module before trying to run this code.

Exercises:

1. Change player2 to be take 5 shuffled, and see what the result is.
2. Try and modify the example to have 3 players. (A generalized version of
   this exercise will be our goal in lesson 3.)
3. Replace putStrLn with print and see how that changes the output.

Behind the scenes:

Let's answer some easy questions first. putStrLn means "put a string and a line." In
most programming languages, a String is a piece of text, or a list of characters.
In order to make the next bit of text appear on its own line, we need to output a
newline character at the end. putStrLn does that for you automatically. (Yes, there's
also a putStr function that doesn't do that.)

The print function does something else. It first "show"s your data. In other words, it
converts your data to a String form. If you look back in lesson 1, one of our
deriving clauses was for Show. That was Haskell's way of saying "just figure out how to
convert this to a string automatically, I don't care."

Now let's ask a few other questions:

* Why is the function called shuffleM, and not shuffle?
* Why do we sometimes use "let," and sometimes use that funny "<-" symbol?
* What's up with that word "do?"

In Haskell, we have a distinction between "pure" and "impure" functions. The latter
is often thought of as actions, or things which have some kind of side effect on the rest
of the world. I won't get into the theory of why this is a good distinction to make for
now.

So let's describe some things that would be consider side effects. One would be "we displayed
some data to the user." Perhaps surprisingly, another would be "we got some random data." The
reason this is impure is that, if we call that function a second time, it will give a different
result. Since shuffling needs to be random, each call needs to have a different result, and
therefore shuffling is in fact an impure action. Therefore, the function is called shuffleM:
the M at the end stands for "monad," which is our scary-Haskell-way of saying "has some context,
such as allowing side effects."

This also explains our other two questions. The "<-" symbol means "please run some impure function,
and get the result out of it." let, on the other hand, means "here's some pure function, get the
result." You might be wondering if we really need two different ways of doing this. The answer
is that this setup really is very useful, but it'll take a bit more time before I can demonstrate
why, so please just take my word on it for now.

The word "do" is also part of this whole setup. It says, "I'm about to start running a bunch of
things, one per line. Some of them will be actions, some will be actions that produce values that
I care about (and I'll use <- to capture those values), and sometimes I'll just use let to capture
pure results."

One of the most confusing things for beginning Haskellers is knowing when to use <-, when to use let,
and what to start do notation. Since this is a tutorial for the impatient, I'm not going to explain
those rules right now, just give you the general guidelines I've already mentioned, and teach by example.
Don't worry, by the time you finish this tutorial, the distinction should be second nature for you.

The threat of a military intervention in Haiti was demonstrated last Sunday afternoon, when five Americans, two Serbians, and one Haitian were arrested under circumstances that have no innocent explanation. Armed with pistols, assault rifles, drones, a telescope and three satellite phones, they were trying to gain access to the roof of the Banque de la Republique d'Haiti (BRH).
Neither of the two vehicles from which they were arrested had license plates showing. Prime Minister Jean-Henry Céant, whose secretary has an office directly opposite the bank, claims to be in possession of a letter from Behrman Motors documenting that one of the vehicles—a Ford Ranger with serial number SA2LPJJ77628—is registered in the name of Jean Fritz Jean-Louis, a former director of the national lottery. Jean-Louis joined President Moïse on his viewing stand at a Christmas parade in December. The Ford Ranger was purchased last August by Magalie Habitant, who at the time was Director of the Metropolitan Waste Collection Service. She was fired without notice last September.

In 1935 Miss Gertrude Johnson founded the National Theatre Movement as a future base of the performing arts in Australia; during 1939 the National Theatre Ballet School was opened under the direction of Jean Alexander with a faculty headed by Enrico Cecchetti's pupil Madame Lucie Saranova. The Ballet School was unique in Australia in that it was the first such school attached to a performing theatre, thus enabling its students to have direct contact and involvement with the sister arts of Opera and Drama.
Under the guidance of Madame Saranova the Australian branch of the Cecchetti Society was founded with the National Theatre Ballet School as its headquarters; the teaching of the Cecchetti Syllabus provided a direct link with the glorious heritage of the Italian-Russian schools of dance. From its inception until 1948 the School presented two seasons of ballet each year at the Movement's own theatre in Eastern Hill.
With the formation of the professional National Theatre Ballet in 1949, many pupils of the School were to dance within its ranks at the Princess Theatre. The faculty of the school has included many notable names in Australian and International Ballet, among whom should be mentioned Corrie Lodders, Jill Gregory, Serge and Kyra Bousloff, Marie Cumisky, Margaret Earl, Marita Lowden, Valrene Tweedie and Pat Martin.

Classes aim to challenge students and the content is presented in an interesting format appropriate to the particular age and level. Children in junior levels enjoy a mixture of dance games and basic technique while middle and upper levels are guided through a more formal class structure. Props and inspiring music form an important part of the learning process.
Students increase their knowledge and skills through preparing for special events such as Presentation Classes, Exams, Cabaret, Eisteddfods and of course, the highlight of the year, our Annual Concerts. The skills and confidence learned through these dance experiences can be carried into all facets of life.

Niu Technologies shares goes up
The Chinese electric scooter manufacturer Niu continues to grow. Niu plans to expand further and mentions a partnership with Volkswagen. The share price also responds positively to the development of the Chinese manufacturer. Thus, the Niu shares have gained almost 17 percent since the middle of last week and this is before the announcement of the results from the past financial year.
Niu sold 93,611 electric scooters worldwide in the fourth quarter of 2018, 77.9 percent more than in the same period of the previous year.
In addition, 118 new franchise stores were opened in China. Niu already has over 760 franchise stores in 178 Chinese cities. The NIU international sales network now includes 27 countries.
Looking at the year as a whole, net sales reached around 193.913 million EUR. This is an increase of 92.1 percent compared to 2017. This is principally due to the 79.2 percent increase in the sale of electric scooters and only 89.3 percent of sales go to the account of the Chinese market. For the full year, Niu announced revenue of $220.1 million and $52 million in losses.
Niu also states in his annual report that a partnership agreement with Volkswagen Group has recently been accepted for the development of micro-mobility solutions. Exact details are not available at the moment.
