LOS ANGELESA new study showed the benefits of SuperUlam (by Biotropics Malaysia Berhad) on supporting concentration, mood and memory (Evid Based Complement Alternat Med. 2013;2013:238454. Epub 2013 Nov 28). SuperUlam is a blend of natural ingredients aimed at supporting brain health. The study was intended to evaluate the effect of SuperUlam on attention and mood in healthy adults.
SuperUlam is a proprietary mixture of extracts from plants shown in laboratory research or traditional use to improve concentration, mood, and/or energy as well as vitamins C and E. Extracts of sireh (Piper betle), turmeric (Curcuma longa), pegaga (Centellaasiatica), curry leaf (Murrayakoenigii), selasih (Ocimumbasilicum), kesum (Polygonum minus) and ulam raja (Cosmos caudatus) are included.
The randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover study, included 20 healthy participants between the ages of 35 and 65. The study lasted three weeks, with a total of three visits per participant. Measurement of cognitive function included computer-based testing of reaction time, complex attention, working memory, sustained attention and executive functioning. Mood testing was performed through the profile of mood states (POMS) survey and the Chalder fatigue scale.
Cognitive function testing showed a significant improvement from the baseline measurements in executive functioning, cognitive flexibility, reaction time and working memory in the SuperUlam group only. When comparing the SuperUlam group to the placebo group, the data demonstrated a significant decrease in tension, depression and anger. There was no significant difference between SuperUlam and placebo in the other measures of mood, including vigor, fatigue, confusion and total mood disturbance. No adverse side affects were reported by participants, concluding that SuperUlam is safe to consume with potential benefits to cognitive function and mood. The study was conducted by Medicus Research, a U.S.-based contract research organization, known for its work in the natural health products industries.
Biotropics Malaysia Berhad was incorporated in 2007 to develop and commercialize Malaysia's bio-resources into natural health products. Biotropics' products include standardized extracts, all-natural dietary supplements, ingredients for nutraceutical, function food and cosmeceutical applications, herbal medicines and botanical drugs.

Mayoral Musings
Subscribe to receive our editorial and insights
Justin Lester is Wellington's 35th mayor. He served his apprenticeship as deputy mayor for one term and has been a northern ward councillor since 2010. Wellington is his adopted home and he's quick to champion its cause.
Justin Lester's first couple of months as mayor of Wellington were not exactly from the textbook. He learned he was the successful Mayor-elect last October while sneaking in a quick haircut in the barber's chair; one month into his term and the capital was rocked by a magnitude 7.8 earthquake centred near Kaikoura, and then early-2017 he was involved in a head-on car accident while on Council business. While emerging from all three incidents pretty much unscathed and more media-savvy, Lester is pumped at the challenges coming his way and thankful that the city he now leads is so resilient – in more ways than one. "People have to realise that earthquakes can occur anywhere in New Zealand however, the strong seismic awareness that residents have is reflected in our building stock which coped well with the November event," says Lester.
"I think Wellingtonians are a pragmatic lot who recognise that they need to be prepared for whatever comes their way."
Like many of the capital's residents, Lester is an import. Hailing from Invercargill, and having lived and studied overseas, Lester is a convert to the Wellington way of life.
"There's an open-mindedness in the capital that I believe stems from the fact that around two-thirds of the population were not born in Wellington.
"People are welcoming, hospitable and generous and I'd go as far as to say it's the most wonderful city in New Zealand."
Naturally the mayor can be forgiven for being biased, but he intends backing up that assertion with action and positivity – for the benefit of everyone who calls Wellington home.
"We're starting from a very sound sociographic base so let's leverage off the credentials of our people," muses Lester, who has a Masters degree in Law, has worked in commercial property and asset management and started a food business from scratch.
"Wellingtonians are the most highly educated in New Zealand, we have a very talented workforce, average incomes are the highest in the country and tertiary student numbers are growing,"
"Coupled with that is the compact urban environment, the huge strides the capital is making to mitigate carbon emissions, and the positive uptake of smart transport options.
"It's also exciting to be working alongside the private sector which is elevating the appeal of the city through innovative thinking and significant investment." - Justin Lester, mayor of Wellington
Lester says the fundamentals are all there to build upon further.
"It's inspiring to look at the knowledge sector and the creative/digital sector and we can learn from them," he says.
"Bold thinking, a fearless attitude and clear vision are vital to progress."
A family man with two young daughters, Lester and his wife, Liz, live in Johnsonville. He says suburban Wellington will be invigorated by Council initiatives in coming years.
"Having a resilient and energetic CBD is only part of the Wellington story. Creating strong suburban centres is crucial to a well-functioning region," says Lester.
"There's big investment planned for Tawa, private investors are redeveloping the Johnsonville shopping centre, and the likes of Kilbirnie, Miramar and Karori will also be getting a boost.
"Council's role will be to back this investment up with improvements to roads and amenities in order to make these suburban town centres relevant to their wider communities and to minimise any barriers to their economic growth."
Lester campaigned on the back of a commitment to strengthen relationships with central government to ensure that Wellington remains a progressive and thriving region.
"I think the respect is there between council and government – respect goes both ways. I have pledged to push Wellington's barrow assertively and will do so particularly around earthquake resilience, roading infrastructure, urban development, housing and transport," he says.
"Knowing what we are working towards is half the battle – unlocking investment funding and getting across the line is always a work in progress."

Encyclopedia > Socrates Scholasticus
Socrates Scholasticus (c.380 - c.450) was a Greek Christian church historian, born at Constantinople.
Even in ancient times nothing seems to have been known of the life of Socrates except what was gathered from notices in his "Church History."
His birth and education are related in Hist. eccl. V. xxiv. 9; his teachers were the grammarian Helladius and Ammonius Grammaticus, who came to Constantinople from Alexandria, where they had been pagan priests (V. xvi. 9). A revolt, dated about 390, accompanied by an attack upon the pagan temples in Alexandria, had forced them to flee.
That Socrates later profited by the teaching of the sophist Troilus, is not proven; no certainty exists as to his precise vocation, although it may be inferred from his work that he was a layman. On the title-page of his history, he is designated as a scholasticus or lawyer.
In later years Socrates traveled and visited among other places Paphlagonia and Cyprus (cf. I. xii. 8, and II. xxxviii. 30).
His "Church History"
Socrates' work on church history, Historia ecclesiastica was first edited in Greek by Robert Estienne, on the basis of Codex Regius 1443 (Paris, 1544); a translation into Latin by Johannes Christophorson (1612) is important for its various readings. The fundamental edition, however, was produced by Valesius (Paris, 1668), who used Codex Regius, a Codex Vaticanus, and a Codex Florentinus, and also employed the indirect tradition of Theodorus Lector (Codex Leonis Alladi).
The history covers the years 305-439, and was finished about 439, in any case during the lifetime of Emperor Theodosius II -- that is, before 450. The purpose of the history is to give a continuation of the work of Eusebius of Caesarea. It relates in simple language what the Church has experienced from the days of Constantine to the writer's time.
Ecclesiastical dissensions occupy the foreground; for when the Church is at peace there is nothing for the church historian to relate (VII. xlviii. 7). The fact that, besides treating of the Church, the work also deals with Arianism and with political events is defended in the preface to book V.
Socrates seems to have owed the impulse to write his work to a certain Theodorus, who is alluded to in the proemium to book II as "a holy man of God" and seems therefore to have been a monk or one of the higher clergy.
The later historians Sozomen[?] and Theodoret drew upon his work for their own histories.
English translations of his writings can be found in the Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers.

La Cordigliera Orientale è una catena montuosa che costituisce il ramo orientale della cordigliera delle Ande in Perù. Attraversa tutto il paese, dalla frontiera ecuadoriana a nord, fino a quella boliviana a sud. Ha una estensione di circa 1.800 km e termina nella regione della selva amazzonica. Attraversa i dipartimenti di Amazonas, Loreto, San Martín, Huánuco, Ucayali, Pasco, Junín, Cusco, Madre de Dios e Puno.

Geologia
La cordigliera Orientale è costituita da rocce formatesi nel paleozoico ed ebbe inizio durante il tettonismo Hercínico (Devonico) sopra un nucleo precambriano. Il sollevamento avvenne longitudinalmente a delle faglie regionali. Questa catena ha geomorfologica da sud a nord del Perù ed è parallela alla cordigliera occidentale pur avendo un importante inarcamento est-ovest conosciuto come la deviazione di Abancay.

Sezioni
Nel settore settentrionale la catena, di minore altitudine e spaziante dalla frontiera con l'Ecuador alla località di Tingo María, presenta montagne di altitudine che vanno dai 1800 ai 2000 m slm, e il fiume Huallaga (Pongo de Aguirre) separa la parte nord da quella sud dalla cordigliera Azul. Nel settore centrale inizia la cordigliera Vilcabamba e Urubamba ove è presente il monte Ausangate, che con i suoi 6372 m di altitudine è la vetta più alta del Perù. Nel settore sono comunque presenti vette di minore altitudine come Shira, Contamana e Contaya. Queste montagne mostrano nel nucleo delle rocce del paleozoico.

Nel settore meridionale si divide in due rami: la cordigliera Carabaya, che prende il nome di cordigliera Real in Bolivia, e la cordigliera di Apolobamba, dalla quale emergono Chaupi Orco (6.040 m) e Ananea (5.824 m). In questo ramo meridionale della cordigliera, fra questo e la cordigliera Occidentale, è ubicato l'altiplano andino nel quale si trova il lago Titicaca.

Lord Of The Rings: The Unreleased Yes Songs
[no label 1CD]
The origins of these three songs are still vague. They appeared late last year on the net claiming to have been recorded for The Fellowship Of The Ring, the first part of the Lord Of The Rings Trilogy. But the March 2002 date, suggests these songs were too late to make that film so possibly they were meant for The Two Towers.
The three songs were attributed to Jon Anderson and it is certainly him singing. Were they meant for Lord Of The Rings? Well we can't think of anyone else who can sing like an elf with his balls squeezed. For a very limited time only, you can download these tracks in the lossy MP3 format here. The copy we have is also lossy.
These tracks are no longer available for download.

Материальная ответственность — обязанность лица возместить ущерб, причиненный другому лицу вследствие нарушения возложенных на него трудовых обязанностей.

Определение
Согласно БСЭ ответственность материальная — это обязанность рабочих и служащих возместить имущественный ущерб, причинённый по их вине предприятию (учреждению), в котором они работают, а также обязанность предприятия, учреждения и организации возместить ущерб, причинённый здоровью трудящихся.

Материальная ответственность в Российской Федерации
Материальная ответственность сторон трудового правоотношения регулируется Трудовым кодекс Российской Федерации от 30.12.2001 N197-ФЗ (часть 3, раздел XI, статьи 232-250).

Материальная ответственность в трудовом праве — это не только обязанность работника возместить ущерб, причиненный работодателю (предприятию, учреждению, организации, индивидуальному предпринимателю), но также и обязанность работодателя возместить ущерб, причиненный работнику (в результате незаконного лишения возможности трудиться, за задержку выплаты заработной платы), либо его имуществу.
Виды материальной ответственности — ограниченная и полная.

Материальная ответственность — это обязанность работника возмещать ущерб, причиненный предприятию вследствие нарушения возложенных на него трудовых обязанностей. Она возникает непосредственно после причинения ущерба независимо от привлечения работника к иным видам ответственности (дисциплинарной, административной, уголовной) и применения к нему других мер материального воздействия (неначисление премии за основные результаты хозяйственной деятельности, невыплаты вознаграждения по итогам работы за год и т. п.).
При приёме на работу оформляется договор о материальной ответственности, который заключается между администрацией и работником. В договоре указываются права, обязанности и ответственность каждой из сторон. Договор оформляется в двух экземплярах 1-ый остаётся в отделе кадров предприятия, 2-й передаётся коллективу бригады, подписывается руководителем предприятия и заверяется печатью субъекта хозяйствования. Договор действует на весь период работы на данном предприятии.

При бригадной форме материальной ответственности все члены бригады имеют одинаковое право доступа к ценностям, участвуют в осуществлении комплекса операций с ценностями и отчитываются за них перед бухгалтерией.

Ограниченная материальная ответственность
Ограниченная материальная ответственность состоит в обязанности работника возместить ущерб в предусмотренных законодательством пределах.
Таковым является часть заработной платы трудящегося. Ущерб, превышающий заранее установленный предел, не может быть взыскан с работника.

La PORTE — The La Porte County Sheriff's office and La Porte County DUI Task Force will be increasing enforcement and patrols around prom and post-prom sites this spring hoping to deter alcohol use and eliminate alcohol-related crashes among prom attendees.
Proms in La Porte County are underway and conclude May 18, with prom events scheduled for South Central, La Crosse, New Prairie, La Porte, Michigan City, La Lumiere and Marquette high schools.
The sheriff's office and DUI Task Force will "saturate the areas around each prom and post-prom site in an effort to deter potential alcohol and drug use," according to Sheriff's Capt. Derek Allen.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that the Centers for Disease Control say that teens are more likely than anyone else to be killed in an alcohol-related crash.
In 2016, almost one out of five teenage drivers involved in fatal crashes had consumed alcohol. Data shows that 16 percent of 15- to 18-year-old drivers involved in fatal crashes in 2016 had consumed alcohol.
NHTSA also reports that in 2016, 818 teen (15-18) drivers and 569 passengers died in vehicles being driven by teen drivers. Of those, 58 percent were not wearing seatbelts at the time of the fatal crash.
n Take an inventory of alcohol in their home and secure it if necessary.
n Don't rent hotel rooms for prom-goers.
n Make a pact with children to provide a safe ride.
n Ensure that children take their cell phones with them and require them to check in through the evening.
n Discuss plans in advance of the prom, so exact plans are known.
n Prom-goers should have an agenda and parents should require them to adhere to it.
n Know their child's date before the prom and with whom they will be attending, if double-dating.
n Exchange telephone numbers with the parents of their child's date.
n Consider hosting an alcohol-free post prom party with child's friends welcome to spend the night.
n Understand that alcohol is a drug; is not acceptable; and is illegal for those under 21.
n Stay up for their children's return home and advise them they will be waiting.
"We are pleased that for 16 consecutive years no La Porte County high school prom attendee has been injured or killed in a motor vehicle crash and our goal remains the same," Boyd said.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (WTWO/WAWV) – Bi-partisan legislation allowing the sale of cocktails for pickup and delivery has been signed into law in Illinois.
"Restaurants and bars are beloved businesses in so many of our communities and also some of the hardest hit from the COVD-19 pandemic," Gov. JB Pritzker said. "This legislation will provide these businesses with a critical tool to bring in additional income until they can safely and fully reopen their doors once more. As we move forward, I am fully committed to taking every action available to us and pursuing all resources at the state and federal level to support this critical industry."
Cocktails can only be delivered in a sealed, labeled container with a tamper-evident cap or seal by an employee of the liquor license holder who is over the age of 21 and trained in responsible alcohol service. Cocktails may not be delivered via a third party delivery app.
Cocktails can only be delivered after an employee verifies the age as well as the level of intoxication of the consumer.
The legislation also delays late fees and license fees for liquor licenses for businesses and establishes automatic liquor license renewal approval and extension for any license holder whose business or operations have been suspended in any capacity due as a result of COVID-19.
The late filing fee waiver applies for 6 months and the license extensions lasts for 120 days, after the latter of:
the day the region moves to Phase 4, or
the day after the expiration of the latest EO that limits or interrupts business, or
the day after the expiration of any rules from DPH or other agencies.

Q: How to use USB interface of R305 Fingerprint Module instead of UART What I have done so far:
I am currently working on R305 Fingerprint Module. I have used this module and some other fingerprint modules like R301T and FPM10A for different projects. But this time I have a new requirement. I want to download fingerprint image (bitmap) from sensor to my PC. So I used pyFingerprint, a Python library to interact with R305 fingerprint module using UART protocol.
This library provides function to download fingerprint image to PC and it is working for me. I can easily download fingerprint image (like this) from sensor to my PC.
What is the Issue:
Now problem is UART (TTL) communication is very slow when it comes to transfer fingerprint image to PC, a lot of bits, and max baudrate for UART of R305 module is 115200 bps. So it takes about 4 to 5 seconds to transfer fingerprint image from sensor to my computer (e.g. on Desktop). It is way too slow for real-time applications where you want fingerprint image within no time.
What I want to do:
I want to interface this R305 fingerprint module directly with USB interface without any USB to TTL converter attached on UART (Tx, Rx) of the module. So that I can download/transfer fingerprint image at faster transfer speed (using USB). I read the documentation of this Module and it says that this module supports two types of communication protocols (USB and UART). See this image . So I solder one end of a simple USB cable to USB port of the module (VCC D- D+ GND) and plug the USB cable's other end to PC. Now the module is showing as CD-ROM in PC. In Device Manager it is showing name as "Finger Module". Now How can I interface with the module??? I have searched a  lot and there is no Software available for this USB interface. Please help me about this..

A: I found the required .Net SDK to control this R305 Fingerprint Sensor (for all 30X series Sensors) using USB protocol. I searched a lot and also sent email to Chines company that build these sensors and asked for this SDK but they did not reply. By chance, fortunately I found the SDK link on Dropbox.
So If anyone want the SDK please Download it from here: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/pznvlzx8qx5nfr3/AABpzhSyjqH0qWNYgMvxqAA9a?dl=0
It contains many files/projects, it also has SynDemo software source code, Arduino code, SDK for Linux platform and a lot of other stuff.. This is really helpful.

The 2nd Battalion of the British Sussex Regiment, was part of the Black Mountain Expedition of 1888, as one of many battles fought along the North-West Frontier Province. The 1st 2nd & 3rd Battalions of the Regiment saw active service in the Boer Wars.The 2nd Battalion crossed the channel with the British Expeditionary Force in 1914 and fought through the war on the Western Front. It was during the first Battle of Ypres that the 2nd Battalion was given the unofficial title "The Iron Regiment" as an unsolicited testimonial by German prisoners captured on 1 November 1914. The Enfield, Lee Metford, P1888 Bayonet was manufactured for the British .303 calibre Enfield, Lee Metford Rifle which were issued to British and allied forces during the Boer war and WW1.

New VR Game Lets You Fight Zombies as Characters From The Walking Dead TV Show
by Nathaniel Mott May 14, 2019 at 4:08 PM
Credit: Survios
AMC and Survios today announced The Walking Dead: Onslaught, which is billed as the first VR experience based on The Walking Dead TV show. Get ready to step into the walker, biter, please-call-them-anything-but-zombies apocalypse some time in fall 2019.
Onslaught's announcement said it features an "exclusive original story, visceral real-motion melee and ranged combat, player progression and a full campaign mode." It also "invites players to assume the roles of their favorite survivors from the TV series." It's not clear if that means Onslaught takes place during the series itself or if it will be relegated to the periods of time in between episodes and seasons.
>That likely depends on AMC's involvement with the project. It's possible that Survios will be allowed to craft whatever narrative it likes for Onslaught, but it might also be left to make the television network's ideas a (virtual) reality. Having The Walking Dead involved might pique interest in Onslaught, but the game itself has to be compelling to convince people to stick around, and that's where Survios thrives.
The Walking Dead Onslaught | Official Announcement Teaser Trailer
Survios has been around since 2013. It's made numerous VR games, and we've liked the way the studio handled persistent obstacles for such titles, like it did with DJing with Electronauts, movement in Sprint Vector and melee combat in Creed: Rise to Glory. This time around it's working on two systems: a "progressive dismemberment" combat system and "grappling that feels incredibly real," a spokesperson told Tom's Hardware.
Besides the release time frame, essentially nothing else about the game was revealed. AMC and Survios didn't share its rating, platform, number of players, or price.
Survios did tell us that the game differs from The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners, another upcoming VR game based on the popular franchise, in that Onslaught is the first to feature characters from the actual AMC TV show. The developers is banking on this giving Onslaught the competitive advantage.
What does it say about modern life that not one but two VR games promise to let you experience a seriously-we'll-go-to-any-lengths-not-to-call-them-zombies apocalypse? Eh, we'll leave that question to our therapists. The Walking Dead brand has grown from graphic novels, to a TV series, video games, board games and other merchandise. Two VR games should be able to co-exist.

WWE Talk: Great Balls of Fire wrestling PPV preview
Nathan Burke
This Sunday is the Great Ball of Fire Pay-Per-View and the wrestling world still can't believe they really went with that name. It just doesn't make much sense. There are so many questions. What do great balls of fire have to do with wrestling? Is it innuendo? When is WWE Crocodile Rock?
Despite the silly name that clearly was a Vince McMahon idea, it's actually a really good card for a minor PPV. On paper, there really isn't one bad match, and everything has a pretty good story behind it. Even the kickoff show featuring Cruiserweight Champion, Neville, facing Akira Tozawa is going to be a great bout. These are two of the most polished members on the 205 Live roster, so expect them to tear the house down before the show even starts.
Other matches on the card have had some great buildup. The Enzo and Cass breakup was one of the better tag team splits in WWE history. Between the mystery attacks and Enzo's limitless charisma, there's a lot of meat on this bone. The only thing I wish is that they gave the two even more mic time to promote their match together. Now, I don't expect this to be a great technical clinic. In fact, this might be closer to a squash match, with the seven-footer taking out his years of frustration on the Certified G. But this will be far from the end of their feud. I expect this one to go through Summerslam before they truly go their separate ways.
Then there are some solid and interesting stipulation matches, like the Tag Team Championship match between Sheamus/Cesaro and challengers, The Hardy Boyz. This is going to be a 30-minute iron man tag match, which is a rare find. Considering they're giving this feud so much time, the match has a lot to live up to. They wouldn't dare waste 30 minutes on a borefest, so these experienced workers will be pressed to deliver a worthy match. Meanwhile, Roman Reigns and Braun Strowman will face the challenge of having an impressive showing in their ambulance match. While their matches have been fun to watch (yes, I do think Roman generally has good matches) with a certain level of silly brutality at the hands of Braun; ambulance matches are difficult to pull off. It's just sort of an anticlimactic finish. Closing the doors of an ambulance isn't really the impact we want at the end of a hard-hitting slugfest, but they could pull through with a creative take on an otherwise clunky ending.
Alexa Bliss will also defend her Women's Championship against Sasha Banks in what should be a nice clash of sass. Banks and Bliss have similar builds and styles; with that small, but fierce, persona. So it will be intriguing to see if they work well with each other and how they'll complement each other's styles. Both are fantastic storytellers and athletic workers, so expect a lot of competing attitude in this title match.
The only weak links in this PPV might be Dean Ambrose vs. The Miz for the Intercontinental Championship and Bray Wyatt vs. Seth Rollins. But for different reasons. Ambrose and Miz have a lot of history and a good story to back them up, but it's just been done to death. I'm loving The Miz right now and his mic work is unparalleled, but this feud has just sort of overstayed its welcome. Wyatt and Rollins have the opposite problem. With little story backing this one up, I'm just not invested in the feud. Usually Wyatt does a great job of building a match, but this one has been a bit disjointed. It seems like it was a hastily thrown together and they just didn't have enough time. But the saving grace is that these two will put on a good match, regardless.
And finally for the big fight main event. The Destroyer, Samoa Joe challenges The Beast, Brock Lesnar for the WWE Universal Championship. This is an irregular and very cool story. Straying from the typical formula of Good vs. Evil, this match is just between two badass monster heels. It's the wrestling equivalent of Lex Luthor vs. The Joker. Just a gift to the WWE Universe. In this dream match, we're going to see some stiffness and big fight realism. We should see some strikes that look far too snug. Everything about this main event has been perfectly build. This is one of those matches that fans would have thought would be impossible a few years ago, and was merely a wrestling geek's pipe dream. But now we get to see it.
Great Balls of Fire will be surprisingly good, probably to make up for the fact that you can't say that name without laughing.

Cable Median Barriers to Be Installed on I-99, Route 322

Installation of cable median barriers on several Central Pennsylvania highways, including two areas in Centre County, will begin next week, according to PennDOT.
Work will begin to install a barrier April 9 on Interstate 99 between Bellefonte and Port Matilda. The overall project, which involves roads in four counties and is expected to finish in December, also will include U.S. Route 322 between the Park Avenue exit and Boalsburg.
"Installation of the barrier will enhance safety for motorists and reduce the potential for head-on collisions on high-volume traffic routes," according to PennDOT.
Temporary lane and shoulder closures will be in place, controlled by flaggers in the roadway during installation. Drivers should be prepared for delays and alert for slow-moving and stopped vehicles.
The stretch of Route 322 near State College that will get a new median barrier has seen numerous crashes — though not all head-on collisions — particularly at the curve between the Boalsburg and College Avenue exits.
In September, 47-year-old Robert Bloom was killed in a head-on collision after a Boalsburg woman lost control of her car, went into the grass median and collided with Bloom's vehicle. Nailah Oliver, 20, was charged in February with homicide by vehicle, involuntary manslaughter and reckless endangerment after police said she was traveling at an unsafe speed in a car that would not have passed inspection. She is awaiting trial.
Other roads that will have a cable median barrier installed as part of the $3.3 million project include:
• Route 220 in Clinton County between Castanea and Jersey Shore;
• Route 322 in Mifflin County between the Mifflin/Centre County line and Reedsville;
• Route 22 in Mifflin County between Lewistown and McVeytown;
• Route 22 in Juniata County between Thompsontown and Millerstown;

Historic Meems Bottom Covered Bridge Takes A Beating Every Year
By ALEX BRIDGES For the Daily News-Record
The Meems Bottom Covered Bridge takes a beating from tractor-trailers several times a year even though warning signs and metal bars have been put up to help protect the historic structure.
The bridge on Wissler Road near Mount Jackson in Shenandoah County remains closed until further notice as the Virginia Department of Transportation assesses the latest damage and considers ways to save the historic crossing. But VDOT is running out of options to prevent more damage and regular repairs cost money.
VDOT closed the bridge earlier this month after a vehicle hit part of the structure. The department received the go-ahead to close the crossing for 180 days. Ed Carter, VDOT's Edinburg residency director, said VDOT could reopen the bridge sooner.
The bridge, off U.S. 11 (Old Valley Pike) near Mount Jackson, dates back to 1894 and appears on the National Register of Historic Places and the Virginia Landmarks Register. At 200-feet long, it is the longest covered bridge in Virginia. It is also the last remaining covered bridge in Virginia open to vehicles, Carter said.
One option to protect the bridge is to close it to vehicles, leaving it open only to pedestrians, Carter said by phone Monday. He added that permanent closure remains a last resort.
VDOT staff, Mount Jackson and Shenandoah County officials and representatives of emergency services have discussed the possibility of leaving the crossing open to pedestrians, Carter said.
"No decisions have been made," Carter said. "These are just options we're looking at and there's a process we would have to go through if that decision was made to do that, with public hearings and all that."
If it becomes a pedestrian crossing, Cater said VDOT would need to accommodate farmers who work both sides of the Shenandoah River and haul equipment over the bridge.
Traffic cameras might help catch vehicles that cause damage but would not prevent strikes, Carter noted.
Many truck drivers rely on geographical information systems when traveling to and from the Mount Jackson industrial park, Carter said. The systems typically direct the driver to the shortest route, which is through the Meems Bottom Bridge, Carter said. Many drivers use older GIS units that have not been updated and do not provide an alternate route, he said.
VDOT also installed signs at the industrial park directing truck drivers to take exit 269 on Interstate 81, Carter said.
"And you're only talking about a four-mile detour," Carter said. "I mean, it's only saving them four miles (to take the bridge)."
Vehicles have struck the bridge 11 times between 2019-2021, according to VDOT. A vehicle hit the bridge on Oct. 25 and VDOT crews again made repairs. The next day, a tractor-trailer struck the bridge in the same location and ripped out the repairs, Carter said. Mount Jackson police stopped the driver shortly after the vehicle struck the bridge the second time, Carter said.
The regular collisions create a frustrating situation, Carter admitted.
"We spent a great deal of money putting up bars and chains to warn the truckers, you know, saying they're too high or wide and, according to the officer that followed this trucker through (the bridge), he hit the chains and never even stopped, just kept on going," Carter said.
Mount Jackson Police Chief Jeff Sterner did not return a call for comment about his agency's involvement.
This is not the first time the bridge has been closed for an extended period of time.
VDOT closed the bridge in early April 2017 to repair damage caused by two vehicle strikes. The bridge remained closed until crews completed the repairs and installed clearance bars suspended by chains from the roof of the structure. VDOT reopened the bridge in the summer of 2018.
A fire in 1976 damaged the bridge, but VDOT rebuilt the structure. VDOT has since installed a fire alarm in the bridge.

Using camera & video in same QML app?
As some of you may know our Edit-in-Chief and Glorious Leader, Andrew Flegg, abandoned us to the pitiless whims of fortune last week when he left for a multi-week vacation to France. To best facilitate his temporary replacement by automatons and monkeys, he helpfully set up a series of scripts to handle issue fetching and publication for the duration of his unavailability. Due to confusing timezone interpretations (variously to be blamed on monkeys and unclear emails), a problem arose when the scripts succeeded in publishing the issue, by my clock, an hour early. Unfortunately the result was the perfect excising of Andrew Olmsted's well-earned kudos from last week's issue--due, in no part (I'll note), to my forgetting about my omissions until 5 minutes after the real publishing time.
To make ammends I'd like you to be aware of two points: First, Andrew's blog post on testing Harmattan applications without a device should've ended up on the issue's front page. And, second, I had intended to thank him for providing copy editing, moral support and direct first-name personnel replacement in the absence of vacationing-Andrew thusly: Thanks, too, to Andrew Olmsted for filling the role of copy-editor and sounding board for this week's issue. Hopefully we'll be able to con him into helping out again in the future. That resolved, I'd like to again thank Andrew for his continued and siginificantly expanded assistance this week and publicly state my sincere hope that he elects to stay on as permanent staff (this way he wont be able to weasel out so easily).
Adam Harwell has continued Marat Fayzullin's excellent work in "Pack Rat" - a powerful package aggregation site that allows users to search through the available Harmattan packages and get details on how to obtain them. Find any Maemo package, from any repository, maintained by Nokia or otherwise. Just type in the full or partial package name or some other relevant keyword and click "Search". Optionally, you can search inside a software section and/or a single repository. Please note that a package may be available in many versions and from multiple repositories. We touched on this last week, but a tool this useful (especially in these early days of Harmattan with no central repository for community applications) deserves to be mentioned again.
Javier S. Pedro has continued his steller work with the SDL libraries on mobile harward with his release of version 1.2 for Harmattan This port has support for: SDL_OPENGLES support: SDL_SetVideoMode(0, 0, 16, SDL_OPENGLES|SDL_FULLSCREEN) and you can then use OpenGL ES functions, multifinger input: a new field "which" in the mouse move/button up/down event structures which says which finger (0, 1, 2, ... up to SDL_MAXMOUSE = 10) is the one that is moving, full compatibility with the Swipe gesture in fullscreen modes (in the future, you will be able to enable/disable gestures with a PDL_EnableGestures-like function), when no joysticks are open, and audio is paused or closed, SDL_WaitEvent will now _really_ wait for an event, with 0% use of CPU/battery. Therefore, paused and backgrounded SDL applications will no longer eat the battery for lunch, the primary target is of course Harmattan and the N950/N9, but both OpenGL ES and multitouch work on Meego Netbook! (it is not packaged as an RPM yet). I, for one, have been looking forward to Javier's SDL work on this platform from very early on for the sheer number of game ports it opens up.


After researching the details (1 row of amp heads, flight case position next to amps,microphone position, Ace's clothes, stage floor material, background etc), I concluded the date and location of the photo. Enjoy!

You are absolutely correct. I was mistaken.
That photo was part of a collection of photos by Chuck Pulin with the same angles and lighting as pix from 1/26/74 Academy and I didn't examine it closely enough to spot the differences.
Interestingly, the road case next to the amps in this photo appears to be black while the one in the Jeffrey Mayer pix from Long Beach is clearly maroon/purple. I believe that is due to the lighting.
All the clues in this photo match those from Long Beach. In addition to the ones you listed, another clue is the type of cable jack Ace is using. It's a right angle jack instead of his normal straight jack as seen in other photos from Academy.
I really appreciate you speaking up and correcting me on this. I try very hard to be accurate but I am not infallible. It's very helpful to have other sharp eyes on these photos to more clearly tell the story of those MAGIC years. Also, thank you for your support for my book.
Ros, thank you so very much - you just made my day...and know that a couple of really sweet things happened to me today already!
