Inauguration of the FIM Institute
Motorcycling - 14 Oct 2014
The Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme (FIM) is proud to announce the inauguration of the FIM Institute located in TechnoPark MotorLand (Alcañiz, Spain).
The Institute is a non-profit organisation set up by the FIM that develops technological solutions to improve safety in motorsport and sustainability in the world of motorcycling.
The ceremony was held on Friday 26 September, in the presence of Messrs. Vito Ippolito (FIM President), Arturo Aliaga (MotorLand President), Antonio Gasión (MotorLand CEO), Carmelo Ezpeleta (Dorna CEO), representatives of the FIM, Dorna, the local Authorities and members of the local and international Media.
After the inauguration, FIM President Vito Ippolito explained: "The FIM Institute represents a great step forward for our Federation. The safety of the riders and the circuits is a top priority for the FIM and we plan to test in these laboratories devices and materials aimed at safer motorcycling and to analyse the way accidents happen in order to try to prevent them. MotorLand offered us good facilities and high-level experts in close proximity to an important circuit. We would like to thank the local authorities and the management of MotorLand for all their support."
Mr. Arturo Aliaga added: "The presence of the FIM is an important support for TechnoPark MotorLand. The TechnoPark offers the best conditions and facilities for carrying out such tests focused on safety and this Institute is an excellent boost for the great sports and technology complex of MotorLand."
All the FIM Commissions are involved in the work of the FIM Institute. In addition to motorsport competition, the FIM also concerns itself with other, non-sporting aspects of motorcycling.
About the FIM Institute
Health and safety through technology
The FIM Institute is responsible for research and development projects focusing on different areas related to motorcycling, including road safety, medical and health prevention technology, the environment, approval of equipment, improving standards for circuits, researching new materials and improving standards for the testing of safety devices.
A wide range of expertise
The FIM Institute can call on all the capabilities and expertise offered by MotorLand Aragon and the companies and foundations located in TechnoPark MotorLand, including Moto Engineering Foundation and TESSA (Technologies and Systems for Automotive Safety Laboratory). In developing its projects, the FIM Institute can also work with many other companies and institutes depending on the Government of Aragon and offering a wide variety of expertise including engineering, nanotechnology, biocomputing, mathematics, energy, recycling, hydrogen technology and industrial design.
The Institute's local partners
The Moto Engineering Foundation is a non-profit organisation set up in 2008 that develops research and innovation projects in specific technology applied to motorcycles and other vehicles. The headquarters has world-class high-technology facilities that include sensing labs, engine labs, dynamic labs, electronic labs and technology labs, as well as workshops to test chassis, engines and electronics, barriers, helmets and riders' protective gear.
TESSA, also located in TechnoPark Motorland, is a company belonging to Zaragoza University that focuses its activity on impact testing. The company analyses components and systems affecting the safety of vehicles, their occupants and other users of the roads. In addition to the technological capabilities of TechnoPark MotorLand, the FIM Institute also has access to the MotorLand Aragón circuits and facilities.
MotorLand is a multifunctional complex unique in the world, with three sports areas: the road racing track, the international karting circuit and the off-road circuits (Motocross, Supermoto, Enduro, dirt track, etc.), and a place for training riders, officials and staff for competition and live testing of homologated devices.

Cow-dung Economics Guide California's Oil Tax Initiative
An open letter to a tech billionaire who wants to ding oil company profits
Vinod Khosla, the Indian American co-founder of Sun Microsystems, is a general partner at Kleiner, Perkins, Caufield & Byers and the founder of the VC firm Khosla Ventures. He has been named as the country's top venture capitalist by Forbes and Fortune. A prominent ethanol proponent, he is currently co-chairing the campaign for California's Proposition 87, a ballot initiative to create an oil extraction tax.
Dear Vinodji,
You recently jumped into the political fray by putting Proposition 87-the ballot initiative that would tax oil companies to fund research on alternative fuels-before California voters this November. But desis (Indian émigrés) like you and me typically keep a healthy distance from the world of politics, preferring to bury ourselves in our bourgeois existence of work, family and two-and-a-half-car garages (O.K., you probably have a bigger garage). Having lived under the likes of Indira Gandhi, whose Machiavellian machinations make Karl Rove look like Forrest Gump, we have a deep and well-founded revulsion for politics. You might better serve your adopted state and your cause-energy security-by sticking to these desi instincts.
Inviting the government to meddle in the affairs of private business is never a good idea, and if anyone should understand this, it is you. You reportedly left your country because of its hostile business environment and thrived spectacularly in this land of (semi) free enterprise, co-founding Sun Microsystems-one of the most successful computer companies on the planet. Fortune magazine has anointed you the "greatest VC (Venture Capitalist) of all time" because you invested in internet start-ups like Google when everyone else was still nosing through card catalogues.
Now you have become the prophet of alternative fuels that, you believe, are going to revolutionize the energy industry, much as the internet revolutionized communications. You are impatient to cut by half President Bush six-year timetable to bring cellulosic ethanol produced from farm waste to the market.
But, with all due respect, even a man of your stellar track record can't simply will markets to do his bidding; an economy is not a machine that can be manipulated according to its maker's grand designs.
If it were, India's central planners would have made rivers of energy flow into every Indian home. Instead, growing up, we endured chronic power droughts. In scorching summer months, we went hours every day without power, unable to coax an ice-cube out of our lifeless refrigerators to soothe the "prickly-heat" burning our necks. Our dads would wait for hours in long queues to buy a few liters of exorbitantly priced petrol while our moms cooked dinner by candlelight in sweltering kitchens. And we were among the privileged ones living in cities like New Delhi where houses were powered by government-owned thermo- or hydro-electric plants. Villages, if they were lucky, got subsidies for their very own gobar gas plants that supplied homes with methane produced by decomposing dung-India's equivalent of farm-waste ethanol. Every Five Year Plan contained rosy projections of when all of India's villages would have gas and electricity generated from gobar or other renewable energy sources. The results? Per capita energy consumption today remains about a third of the world average, meaning that Indians are on an energy-starvation diet.
Granted, you are not advocating a total government takeover of the energy sector as in India. But the combination of taxes, subsidies and mandates you are proposing has striking similarities to India's socialistic approach-and will produce similar results.
Proposition 87-which you are personally spending $1 million to promote-would force oil companies to pay taxes (or royalties, as you call them) for drilling privileges until the state has raised $4 billion for seed money toward alternative fuel ventures. You argue that California is the only state that does not collect drilling royalties, something that oil companies can well afford to pay given their "abnormally" high profits. But California imposes all kinds of other taxes that make its oil among the highest taxed in the country. Proposition 87 would raise these taxes another 50 percent, forcing Californians, who are already paying among the most exorbitant gas prices in the country, to forego energy consumption.
Yes, I know, your proposal would ban Big Oil from passing on the additional taxes to oil consumers. But who are you kidding? Enforcing the ban would require armies of state auditors to dissect in intricate detail the accounts of oil companies. Regardless of whether they are actually deployed, the potential for harassment will prompt oil companies to flee California just as you fled India, leaving the Golden State not with more energy sources as you intend, but fewer. (Full Disclosure: Oil companies are among thousands of supporters of my employer, Reason Foundation, a non-profit think tank. Their contributions comprise less than 1 percent of Reason's annual revenue.)
The irony is that your proposal to shackle California's oil industry comes precisely when India is unshackling its own. Just when you are trying to replace foreign oil with home-grown fuels in the name of energy independence (a misguided goal), India is renouncing its autarkic energy policies and courting foreign oil companies. Furthermore, even as you are advocating taxes on oil to subsidize alternative fuels, India is scrapping its two-decade-old policy of pricing "luxury" fuels such as petrol above market rates to subsidize "basic" fuels such as kerosene.
Some commentators have suggested that your support for Prop 87 is a rent-seeking move, meant to boost your recent investments in ethanol by debilitating competitors. I don't buy that. Yet, the issue is, if ethanol has all the advantages you says it does-if it is renewable, cleaner, less volatile, more reliable, easily transportable etc.-surely you of all people could convince enough investors to cough up the $4 billion that Prop 87 would raise. Are you not turning to taxpayers because you don't want to assume that kind of risk-and can't convince fellow investors to either? That is hardly socially responsible. CEO Richard Branson recently volunteered to divert the entire $3 billion profits from his carbon dioxide-spewing Virgin transportation empire into alternative fuels aimed at combating global warming. He is putting his own money-not someone else's-where his mouth is.
Indeed, in my view, private investors like you who are accountable to shareholders-or philanthropists like Branson who are spending their own money-are likely to do a far better job of picking winners among new fuel technologies. Entrusting a government board answerable to political interests, as Prop 87 is proposing, has a gobar-gas like odor to it.
Where oil companies have used the government to create barriers or tipped the playing field against alternative fuels, we should fix that. (And, no, it is not an illegitimate barrier, as you claim, when oil companies don't install enough E-85 pumps in gas stations to distribute ethanol; not carrying products that don't maximize your profits is not the same as impeding others from offering those products). Let's end today the billions of dollars they receive in corporate welfare every year, for instance.
Your cause might involve very cutting-edge technologies, but you are promoting it with curiously outmoded economic thinking. It might be worth questioning your Prop 87 crusade by revisiting the lessons of failed policies from home.
Your compatriot expatriate,

Black churches in Detroit Metro are pillars of hope
Traditional institutions inspire, encourage faithful, make communities stronger, bring social change
Black churches in Detroit Metro are pillars of hope Traditional institutions inspire, encourage faithful, make communities stronger, bring social change Check out this story on detroitnews.com: http://detne.ws/27C9ggA
Kyla Smith, The Detroit News Published 12:17 a.m. ET May 19, 2016 | Updated 10:35 a.m. ET May 22, 2016

Shouts and thunderous claps fill the quaint church on the corner of Linwood and West Grand as the Rev. Daryl Clark delivers his sermon.
"What looks good to you, is not always good for you," said Clark as some congregation members stood and nodded in approval. "God will never steer you in the wrong direction as long as you follow his lead."
Many religious leaders in Metro Detroit say their pulpits have provided a foundation for helping their communities, and black churches, in particular, have been instrumental in the battles to change society.
Clark, 49, pastor at New Jerusalem Church of God in Christ for six years, said his congregation is helping rebuild the community where he grew up. The church recently purchased a vacant lot across the street and plans to build a park for the residents in the area.
"I'm invested. This is my neighborhood and my city. I want our church to continue to be a staple where people can come for support or if they are in trouble or in need," Clark said. "Sometimes people think that if you make a mistake, the church will beat down on you, but we are here to encourage one another and give hope, so we can build a stronger society."
In addition to passing out free groceries once a month, New Jerusalem has hosted weekly classes on grant writing and also sponsors a summit where young adults mentor children and teens about the challenges they're facing. This spring, the church joined others in the denomination to donate water to Flint residents in wake of the lead crisis in that community.
The Rev. Charles Christian Adams, presiding pastor at Hartford Memorial Baptist Church for 14 years, said the country as a whole has been indirectly affected by black churches.
"There wouldn't be any civil rights movement, Voting Rights Act, Black Lives Matter or any of the many protests that you see today rallying for change. That all stems from the involvement of the black church," Adams said. "When Flint residents discovered high lead levels in the water, many looked to the church for aid and counsel. We hold other institutions accountable for their actions. The church is vital to life."
Last month, Hartford joined other area churches to deliver 6,000 bottles of water to Flint.
The first documentation of black churches in America, dates back to 1758. Many slaves gathered to pray and exchange information, according to the African American Registry, a Minneapolis-based nonprofit that educates communities about African-American heritage, history and culture. After the Civil War, the role of the church became even more important in black society, as it became the meeting place to help establish schools, educate the public on political issues and soon after, launch the Civil Rights movement in the 1950s, according to the group's website.
The Rev. Stephen Butler Murray, president of the Ecumenical Theological Seminary in Detroit, said black churches have been very influential in most communities.
"If you look at the past, Sunday worship was not limited to just Sunday. The church, specifically in the black community, played a major part in electing political leadership," Murray said. "The black church is very powerful when it comes to helping to address issues of employment, outreach and community development."
Debra Trigg, of Oak Park, who attends the 11,000-member Word of Faith International Christian Center in Southfield, said an individual's success can stem from his or her involvement in the black church.
"Having a strong faith helps one to reach their highest point of spirituality," said Trigg, who has been a member of Word of Faith for 16 years. "A strong faith helps to build a stronger family unit."
The Rev. Solomon Kinloch Jr., pastor of Triumph Church, said the church also helps hold individuals accountable within the community.
"We have a way of influencing one another through fellowship and attending Sunday service," he said. "If we see someone on the wrong path or if they need extra uplift, we inspire them while pulling resources together to help them."
Triumph has more than 4,000 members over eight sites in Michigan.
"Church and worship is a part of our history and our legacy. It's not just a place you attend on Sunday, it is a way of life," he added.
That might explain the steady membership numbers in black churches reported in recent years.
The Pew Research Center found that the number of black Protestant adults has remained steady at nearly 16 million adults from 2007 to 2015, compared to the number of white Prostestants — identified as practicing Methodist, Baptist, Lutheran, Presbyterian and Episcopal — which declined to 36 million in 2015 from 41 million in 2007.
Some individuals like, Kenneth Keith, of Detroit, credit the church with helping them make better choices in life.
"I was an angry kid growing up. I would hang in the streets. People would tell me how church would improve my life, but I wasn't hearing it, until I saw for myself," said Keith, who is a member of New Jerusalem. "After attending a few services, I started to see a change in my thinking. My outlook was more positive and I liked the impact church made on the people around me."
Raymond Taylor, of Southfield, said he believes everyone is affected by the church whether it's directly or indirectly.
"Lessons that were taught to us usually by the matriarch of the family was the introduction to organized religion until you were old enough to establish your own personal spiritual relationship," said Taylor, who is a member of Greater Seth Temple Sanctuary of Praise Church of God in Christ in Farmington Hills, which has a congregation of more than 1,000 members. "Anyone that you talk to has some type of story that has been passed down from an elder that has shaped their belief."
But Daunte' Akra, of Detroit, who was raised in a home where church attendance was mandatory every Sunday said he believes the institution hasn't helped solve any problems in the community.
"In the past, church was used to give us structure and tell us how we should live, but now, most churches have moved away from that," Akra said. "It's a business and many pastors prey on the members to get more money. They are sucking the people dry and people are still killing each other.
Yet, Anita Warr, of Detroit, who has been a member of Detroit's Solomon's Cathedral Church for more than 10 years, said the church can never do enough.
"There is so much work that needs to be done, that there will always be a need for volunteers, churches and pastors to minister in the neighborhoods," said Warr, whose church has more than 300 members. "For the people that are quick to criticize what the church is not doing, they should look at themselves first and see if they are a part of the problem or helping to solve the problem."

These pigs aren't going to be thinking human thoughts anytime soon.
History's first pig-human hybrids have been grown in a lab, stoking fears of a porcine mutant apocalypse. The strange hybrids, known as chimeras, contain a mixture of pig and human cells. Ethicists fear that the human cells, injected into a pig's body with the intention of producing human organs, might travel to the brain and create a sentient pig with human thoughts.
Calling from the Salk Institute in La Jolla, California, stem cell researcher Jun Wu, Ph.D., who worked on the study published this week in Cell, assured Inverse, "We already have the strategy." He's referring to a biological mechanism he and his colleagues, led by Pope Francis-approved chimera pioneer Juan Carlos Izpisua Belmonte, Ph.D., devised to prevent human cells from straying into parts of the body that could cause ethical concerns — the brain, in particular. In one method the Izpisua Belmonte lab has designed, Wu explains, cells that threaten to do so can be programmed to self destruct. They didn't describe it in their paper because they hadn't found evidence of any cells that had traveled to the brain in the 17 embryos they analyzed, and the fact that they terminated the embryos well before they came to term eliminated the possibility they could become sentient. But, Wu says, it's a possibility they are preparing for.
"If we let the gestation go for longer, then we need to start to incorporate this safety switch," he says.
Human stem cells were pipetted into a pig embryo.
In a chimera — the scientific term for a hybrid animal, named for the Greek lion-snake-goat hybrid — runaway cells don't occur often, but they aren't easy to detect or catch when they do. They're created by growing the host animal — the pig, in this case — from the embryo stage in a dish; a little later, stem cells from the donor — that's humans — is injected into it. It's then given the time and resources to grow, while scientists watch. In the Cell study, Wu and his colleagues did this to figure out what type of human stem cells best survive inside a pig embryo (their conclusion: "intermediate" pluripotent stem cells).
In doing so, Wu and his colleagues brought science one step closer to creating pigs with human internal organs that we can someday farm for ourselves. In the future, keeping the human cells within the region of the intended organ will be crucial if Wu and his peers want to avoid moral backlash.
Their strategy for preventing stray cells is twofold. First, they use gene editing to scoop out a hole in the pig for the human cells to fill. If they wanted to grow a liver, they would engineer a pig that lacked one: Deleting the liver genes from the pig embryo at the one-cell stage results in a pig with a liver-shaped hole its organ should be. Human stem cells, which can be coaxed into turning into liver cells, will fill that hole when they're injected into the pig embryo. There, "the human cells will outcompete the host cells to occupy the liver niche and generate the liver," Wu explains. The idea of competition is central to keeping cells in place: It's hoped that in other parts of the pig body, the pig's cells will assert their priority over the human cells and shove them out.
Bebop from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: also a human-pig chimera.
Armchair ethicists can let out a collective sigh of relief: the pigs will not become sentient. What's even more comforting than the existence of the "safety switch" is knowing that chimera scientists are just as concerned about the morally sketchy possibilities of their work as everyone else. "People worry about a pig born with human cells in the brain," Wu says. "But this is not what we tried to do here." At this stage of the research, the work that goes on in the Izpizua Belmonte lab doesn't require the pig embryos — transplanted into sows — to be born, so the possibility of pig consciousness remains remote for now.
Whether human cells that travel to a pig brain will even give rise to human consciousness in a pig remains unknown. Unfortunately for scientists and philosophers, there is only one way to find out. This is ethically murky territory: Wu and his colleagues are concerned, too, that human cells might integrate with a pig's germline — that is, the cells that give rise to offspring. Again, the possibility is a long way off — but it's only by imagining an apocalyptic future that the tools for preventing it can be developed in the present.

Фикус бенджамин (Ficus benjamina), известен и като плачеща смокиня, бенджамин смокиня или фикусово дърво, вид цъфтящо растение от семейство Черничеви (Moraceae), родом от Азия и Австралия.

Наскоро описан сорт, Ficus benjamina var. Bracteata, се среща в издигнати коралови гори в южната част на Тайван. Видът също е натурализиран в Западна Индия и в щатите Флорида и Аризона в САЩ. В родния си ареал малките му плодове са предпочитани от някои птици, сред които Ptilinopus superbus, Ptilinopus magnificus, Ptilinopus perlatus, Ptilinopus ornatus, Ptilinopus iozonus, Ducula spilorrhoa и Ducula rufigaster.

Популярни сортове
Сред най-популярните сортове бенджамин са:
 Golden King – с обагрени с жълто по краищата листа.
 Midnight Lady – с тъмно зелени листа.
 Naomi – с тъмно зелени листа накъдрени по краищата листа.
 Samantha – с тъмно зелени листа и светло зелени ръбове на листата.
 Starlight – с обагрени с бяло по краищата листа.

В популярната култура
Това е официалното дърво на Банкок.

По-голям екземпляр, растящ в южната част на Тайван, е използван във филма "Животът на Пи".

Кинорежисьорът Майкъл Мур води фикусово дърво като кандидат за Конгреса в 11-ия квартал на Ню Джърси през 2000 г., заявявайки, че "повечето кандидати се кандидатират без опозиция в своите първични избори и 95% са преизбрани".

The export to Excel feature is designed to provide a more flexible way to build reports and update schedules. Custom spreadsheets can be configured based on any number and combination of objects and their data, allowing you work with as much raw data as desired in order to build custom reports and templates for updating schedules. Note that the resulting Excel files contain minimal formatting and presentation.
A few common combinations of data to export come pre-saved as templates to help get you started. Both default and user-created templates are shared at the system-level, meaning that a template created for one schedule will be available when working with any other schedule. You can choose to export data from an existing template as-is, reconfigure an existing template and then export the data, or create a new template altogether to export from. In addition, the export process can be automated and triggered directly from your desktop by specifying the desired schedule and report ahead of time. Instructions for each are provided.
If you're exporting data to Excel to edit and update NetPoint, the fields that can be edited are identified in bold in the Configure Rows & Columns window in NetPoint and in the corresponding cells in Excel. All other columns will be protected, except for the code table, resource table, and target sheets (for more on protected sheets, see the notes at the end of this section). For more info on updating, see Updating from Linked Reports.
WARNING: When a template is exported to Excel, the new Excel file will automatically overwrite the last-exported Excel file (for that schedule) unless the last one was renamed or moved. To avoid losing the previous Excel file, rename it or move it to a different location before doing the next export.
NOTE: The schedule will be saved each time a template is exported. To avoid having changes permanently saved, save the schedule as a separate document first, or use Undo to roll back the changes before closing the schedule.
With NetPoint open, click File > Import/Export from the menu bar and choose Export to Linked Excel File.
Make sure the circle is checked next to New Configuration.
To remove or add object, check the boxes next to their labels.
To include a field, select it in the Available list on the left and click the >> button.
To remove a field, select it in the Included list on the right and click the << button.
Enter a description and click Save.
To finish the export process, click the Export button. Excel will open with the exported data, and the file will be automatically saved in the schedule's project folder.
NOTE: When adding/removing fields, fields within Object Data, Links Data, Resource Data, and Target Data will re-order themselves automatically. Fields within Predecessor Data, Successor Data, Tables, and Hammocks will depend on the order that they're added.
Choose a desired template from the list.
To export right away, click the Export button and skip to step 4. To modify first, click the Modify button. NOTE: Only user-created templates can be modified. If you reconfigure a default template, you will not be able to export it unless you first save it as a new template.
To remove or add objects, check the boxes next to their labels.
Once configured, click Save and continue to step 2e. To save it as a new template, click Save As.
Enter a description and click the Save button.
Right-click on "NetPoint.exe" and click Create Shortcut.
In the notification, click Yes.
On the desktop, find the new shortcut and right-click and choose Properties.
To initialize the export, double-click the shortcut or right-click and choose Open. The schedule will open in NetPoint and the report will open in Excel.
If you plan on exporting additional templates on the same day, then we suggest renaming the file or moving it to a different location to avoid having it being overwritten. Click File > Save As from the menu bar, enter a name, and click Save.
If desired, you may rename the shortcut by right-clicking on it and choosing Rename.
Enter a name and click outside to finish.
NOTE: Upon export, the Excel file will be automatically saved in the schedule's project folder and named after the template, with the month and day appended to the end. Excel files that are generated automatically can only have their changes pushed from within Excel. For more info, see Updating from Linked Reports.
Only one linked Excel file can be open at a time. This means that when using File > Import/Export > Export to Linked Excel File, or Open Linked Excel File, any Excel files that were open for other schedules will be closed, and any unsaved changes will be lost. To have linked Excel files open for more than one schedule at a time, open them directly from their project folders or through Excel instead of through NetPoint.
Once exported, the Excel file will be automatically named using the same name as the project. However, Excel does not allow filepaths over 218 characters or which contain any of the following symbols: < > ? [ ] : | *. Any templates that are exported from NetPoint projects that do not satisfy these criteria will have to be renamed in Excel. As a result, you'll only be able to initialize an update from such files from within Excel.
Each field that is exported will become a column in Excel, organized horizontally in the order that they appear in the list on the right of the Configure Rows & Columns window. At this time, fields/columns cannot be reordered after being added. For example, to move a desired field higher, remove the fields above it and re-add them back below.
The names of the column headers in Excel will be derived directly from how they appear in the list on the right of the Configure Rows & Columns window.
Depending on which information is chosen for exporting, the resulting Excel file may contain multiple sheets. Object data, including predecessor and successors, will be located on a sheet with the same name as the template itself. For target data, each target will get its own sheet. For resource data, each resource will also get its own sheet (or pair of sheets, if consumption and/or cost is exported per day or per month, the second sheet being reserved for a graph).
By default, all fields under the Object Data node in the Configure Rows and Columns window will be repeated on all other eligible sheets. This can be customized by right-clicking and choosing accordingly.
In addition, at the top of every sheet is a key explaining various aspects of the report.
If exported, each object that is included (activities, links, milestones, benchmarks, delays, hammocks) will become a row in Excel, organized in the order they were added to the network (system ID). The system ID will always automatically be exported, and will be the first column on the left, after the change log. After exporting, these fields will be located on a sheet with the same name as the template itself.
Object Type The type of object, whether activity, link, milestone, benchmark, delay, or hammock.
Abbr. Description The object's abbreviated description. This abbreviated description is better for displaying on the canvas and is limited to 48 characters.
Start Date The object's start date.
Finish Date The object's finish date.
Progressed Duration For in-progress activities, the amount of duration actualized up to the data date.
Remaining Duration For in-progress activities, the amount of duration unactualized after the data date.
Calculated Complete For actualized activities, the amount of progressed duration divided by total duration. If an activity or hammock contains an un-actualized portion before the data date, the calculated complete will export as NA.
Calendar The object's calendar. This calendar dictates on which days work may take place on the object.
Start Constraint If applied, a constraint on the start date that prevents the object from starting earlier.
Finish Constraint If applied, a constraint on the finish date that prevents the object from finishing later.
Float* The float of the object. The float is the amount of time an object can be delayed before delaying the completion of the project. *An asterisk denotes that the activity is actualized, and that the value is forensic.
Total Float* The total float of the object. Total float is equal to float + drift. *An asterisk denotes that the activity is actualized, and that the value is forensic.
Buffer* The buffer of the object. The buffer is the amount of time an object can be delayed before delaying the start of its nearest successor. *An asterisk denotes that the activity is actualized, and that the value is forensic.
Drift* The drift of the object. The drift is the amount of time an object can gain before advancing the start of the project. *An asterisk denotes that the activity is actualized, and that the value is forensic.
Drift Buffer* The drift of the object. The drift buffer is the amount of time an object can gain before advancing the finish of its nearest predecessor. *An asterisk denotes that the activity is actualized, and that the value is forensic.
Codes The codes and values assigned to the object. Where an assignment exists, the cell underneath the value's column will get an "x". Export this field for modifying the codes assigned to an activity or doing global assignments.
Code Summary A comma-separated list of all values (if any) of a particular code assigned to the object. Where an assignment exists, the cell underneath the code's column will contain the value.
If chosen for exporting, predecessor and successor data will be added to the main sheet (the sheet with the same name as the template itself). Note that for every object, all predecessors and all successors are grouped together in one cell for each type. For example, if "Activity A" is a predecessor to "Activity B" and "Activity C," then both "Activity B" and "Activity C" will show up under the "Successor Description(s)" column, separated by commas. The same goes for their IDs and/or finish date(s).
Predecessor(s) Description-Relationship All, if any, of its predecessors' descriptions follow by their relationships. Relationships are displayed as either FS (finish-to-start), SS (start-to-start), or FF (finish-to-finish) followed by the link gap, e.g. "Activity1-SS0″.
Predecessor System ID(s) All, if any, of its predecessors' system IDs.
Predecessor ID(s) All, if any, of its predecessors' given IDs.
Predecessor(s) Description All, if any, of its predecessors' descriptions.
Successor(s) Description-Relationship All, if any, of its successor's descriptions follow by their relationships. Relationships are displayed as either FS (finish-to-start), SS (start-to-start), or FF (finish-to-finish) followed by the link gap, e.g. "Activity1-SS0″.
Successor System ID All, if any, of its successors' system IDs.
Successor ID(s) All, if any, of its successors' given IDs.
Successor(s) Description All, if any, of its successors' descriptions.
If exported, link data will show up in its own sheet called "Links".
Predecessor The beginning object in the relationship.
Successor The ending object in the relationship.
Type The type of relationship of the link. Relationships can be either FS (finish-to-start), SS (start-to-start), or FF (finish-to-finish).
Lag The lag, if any, of the relationship. The lag is the amount of time after the start of a predecessor and the start of its successor or the finish of a predecessor and the finish of its successor in a start-to-start relationship or finish-to-finish relationship respectively.
Gap The gap value of the link. The gap is the duration of a link.
Logic Type The logic type of the link. For more info, see Creating FS Links.
Shape The geometry of the link. For more info, see Optimizing Link Geometries.
When exporting resource data, most of the fields will become columns in Excel, organized horizontally in the order that they appear in the list on the right of the Configure Rows & Columns window. Specifically, Rate/Dur, Rate/Day, Total Consumption, Total Cost, Consumption, and Cost are repeated for every resource and put on their own sheet with Consumption and Cost actually spanning several columns, one column for every unit of time during which the project takes place. If multiple units of time are chosen (e.g. days and months), then all of the sheets for the first time unit will show up followed by all of the sheets for the next time unit. A resource's sheet can be identified by its name, which follows as "Res-[description]-[internal ID]-[time unit]". For example, if resources are exported by day and the schedule contains a resource named "Plumber" with an internal ID of "5," then the sheet would be titled "Res-Plumber-5-day". At the end of the Excel file, a resource "summary" sheet will be added for each time unit exported.
Graph Consumption and Graph Cost are also repeated for every resource and put on their own sheet at the beginning of the Excel file, with all of the consumption sheets showing up first followed by all of the cost sheets. If multiple time units are chosen (e.g. days and months), then all of the sheets for the first time unit will show up followed by all of the sheets for the next time unit. For example, if Graph Consumption and Graph Cost were exported by days and months for a schedule with 3 resources, there would be 3 sheets for consumption/day and 3 sheets for consumption/month followed by 3 sheets for cost/day and 3 sheets for cost/month. These sheets follow a similar naming convention, which follows as "type-description-ID-time unit". For example, if consumption and cost are exported by day, then the consumption and cost graphs for the same Plumber resource would be located on the sheets titled "Cons-Plumber-5-by-day" and "Cost-Plumber-5-by-day", respectively. Before each of the consumption and cost sheets, a "total" graph will be added for each time unit exported.
NOTE: For graphs to be exported, their data must be included too. For example, for Graph Cost to be exported, Cost must be included for at least one time unit; for Graph Consumption to be exported, Consumption must be included for at least one time unit. If an attempt is made to add a Graph Cost or Graph Consumption without at least one time unit for Cost or Consumption respectively, NetPoint will choose a default time unit (year) and add it with the graph. Likewise, if Cost or Consumption are completely removed from a template, their graphs will be removed as well.
NOTE: Depending on your machine, choosing to export the graphs may add a significant amount of processing time.
Rate/Day The quantity of this resource assigned to that activity on a per day basis. Export this field for modifying the resources assigned to an activity or doing global assignments. To assign a resource per day, enter a value in the Rate/Day column, AND make sure there is a no walue or a "0" in the Rate/Dur column. As soon as there is a value in the Rate/Dur column, any value in the Rate/Day column will not be used.
Rate/Dur The quantity of this resource assigned to that activity on a per duration basis. To assign a resource per duration, enter a value in the Rate/Dur column. As soon as there is a value in the Rate/Dur column, any value in the Rate/Day column will not be used. If this column contains a "0", the value from Rate/Day will be used instead.
Total Consumption The rate/day times the duration of the activity (or the rate/dur).
Total Cost The cost/day time the duration of the activity.
Consumption A per time unit breakdown of the consumption of this resource over the duration of the schedule. Consumption will span several columns, one column for every unit of time during which the project takes place. Right-click in the list on the left to add individual time units; right-click in the list on the right to remove them. If added without choosing, years will be the default.
Cost A per time unit breakdown of the cost of this resource over the duration of the schedule. Cost will span several columns, one column for every unit of time during which the project takes place. Right-click in the list on the left to add individual time units; right-click in the list on the right to remove them.If added without choosing, years will be the default.
Graph Consumption Whether or not to include graphs of all the consumption data. The consumption field must be included for at least one time unit.
Graph Cost Whether or not to include graphs of all the cost data. The cost field must be included for at least one time unit.
When exporting target data, the reported fields will be repeated for every target, with each target getting its own sheet named after the number of the target followed by the description. For example, the first target's sheet could be named "Target1-Baseline" followed by "Target2-Update" and so on. Like with object data, each field that is exported will become a column in Excel, organized horizontally in the order that they appear in the list on the right of the Configure Rows & Columns window.
NOTE: If no targets have been stored in NetPoint, then no sheets will actually show up in Excel for targets.
Target Start Date The object's start date when the target was captured.
Start Date Variance The target minus the current, in time units (i.e. days).
Target Finish Date The object's finish date when the target was captured.
Finish Date Variance The target minus the current, in time units (i.e. days).
Target Duration The object's duration when the target was captured.
Duration Variance The target minus the current, in time units (i.e. days).
Target Float The object's float when the target was captured.
Float Variance The current minus the target, in time units (i.e. days).
Target Total Float The object's total float when the target was captured.
Total Float Variance The current minus the target, in time units (i.e. days).
Target Drift The object's drift when the target was captured.
Drift Variance The current minus the target, in time units (i.e. days).
Tip: At this time, variances are only calculated to the current state, not between any two targets, but such reports can be exported from the Target Manager by clicking Tools > Open Targets Manager, right-clicking on the columns, and choosing Export all Rows & Columns.
Tables are another way for adding or deleting codes and resources from the schedule. When exported, they will be put in their own separate sheets. For more instructions, see Adding and Modifying Codes via Excel and Adding and Modifying Resources via Excel.
Code Table An editable table for adding, modifying, and deleting codes. Export this table for managing codes and values.
Resource Table An editable table for adding, modifying, and deleting resources. Export this table for managing resources and cost.
Hammocks will show up on the main data sheet.
Min Member Drift The lowest drift value of all a hammock's members.
Min Member Float The lowest float value of all a hammock's members.
Min Member Buffer The lowest buffer value of all a hammock's members.
Min Member Total Float The lowest total float value of all a hammock's members.
Member List A list of all members of the hammock.


INDIANAPOLIS -- The father who helped rescue his 3-year-old daughter from a pond after their car plunged into the icy water is being remembered as a hero.
Anthony Burgess Jr. died after helping to rescue his daughter, Amina. Police believe Amina accidentally hit the gear in the vehicle and caused it to roll back into a pond.
Burgess Jr., who family members say couldn't swim, dove into the water and helped pull his daughter from the vehicle so that another man who went in after her could take her out. He then got stuck underwater and was rescued by divers but later died at the hospital.
Amina's aunt, Kelly Jordan, says Burgess Jr. gave the ultimate sacrifice to save his daughter and that is how he will be remembered.
"Even though he couldn't swim he swam out there into the middle of that water he jumped into that water - even though he couldn't swim he stayed afloat and coached his daughter out of that car - even though he couldn't swim he held his daughter out of that water until she was rescued - even though he couldn't swim he was able to save his daughter," said Jordan.
Family members are planning a memorial service to remember Burgess on Friday.

Woman fatally shot after pointing gun at officers
SULLIVAN — Authorities say a woman who allegedly made threatening statements at a motel in western Indiana was fatally shot after pointing a gun at officers.
The shooting happened Wednesday at the Days Inn motel in Sullivan.
State police say they responded along with Sullivan officers following reports of a disorderly woman who refused to leave the motel. Officers spotted her in a hallway, but she ran into her room and locked the door. Officers soon went into the room, but left after seeing that she had a gun.
Police evacuated the motel and SWAT team members later went into the room. They say she pointed the gun at the SWAT team and was fatally shot.
Her name wasn't immediately released. An autopsy was planned Thursday and the shooting is under investigation.

Girls High School Harare, commonly referred to as "GHSH", was the first public school for girls founded in 1898 in the then city of Salisbury, Rhodesia, which is now Harare, Zimbabwe.The school can take in up to over 1000 girls across all forms and is thus the largest girl's high school in Zimbabwe. The school also has two boarding houses for girls called Beit House and Forsyth House. The school celebrated its centenary in 1998 with pomp and fair.

Ok this looks like a stonker of a deal for a workstation laptop. Very fast overclockable laptop CPU, ton of RAM, fast NVMe storage, and very nice display.
Best deal so far. Cracking price.
Been here all day, this looks like the best 17.3" deal so far. Or am I too tired now???
This is NOT a workstation. This is a consumer gaming laptop. No win 10 pro, no ECC ram, no Xeon processor, no l3 cache, no professional gpu, (980 is a consumer card!) Still a monster laptop for the price but dont expect to be using cad or 3d modelling with this, its more for games and The 980 will rip through most games!!!!

Haha ok, some people being a little pedantic and missing my point about this laptop. It might not meet the exact requirements for a true 'workstation' (that I have no idea how much more expensive would be for the same basic performance...), but this thing has more than enough power under the hood for some serious professional work.
And yeah I know full well it doesn't have the latest and arguably greatest GPU architecture which would run cooler and more efficiently for the same performance, but it's still enough for some decent gaming in 2017.
But that's why I listed this as a 'getting sh*t done' laptop, and with that CPU and that much RAM it's going to be excellent as a mobile 'workstation'.

Saying delivery on Monday but can't see it.
Needed a new laptop for editing drone videos and this looks ideal.
No it doesnt have power for professional work. Amateurs comment. This is a consumer and gaming pc. PERIOD!! No true professional would use this for their work, or if they do, there starting out in business. Dell precision, hp zbook, lenovo thinkpad p51 etc are true professional laptops. And yes, they look the same on paper, but only when this crashes and all your data disappears after 18 months, a true workstation still has the supoort from thr manufactors for years to come, and WONT crash as they use superior prodicts, specilised drivers and major support!! THIS IS A GAMING RIG! And no, a gtx is not a quaddro card!!!

Wowww..... You need to chill my friend. Right firstly what is a "true professional"? Plenty of people who make money from what they do have used this and similar laptops, such as youtubers. Something like this can make for an ideal mobile video editing machine, such Callum above for editing Drone vids. I and other musicians could make great use of the horsepower for creative work, are we not professionals?
Modern consumer computer hardware won't spontaneously combust...... If what you are running on this is absolutely critical, with huge amounts of money or even lives at stake, then sure you absolutely might want to go the ECC RAM and super solid drivers route.
I would like to see some evidence as to why this "doesnt have power for professional work", like honestly I would love to know what this cannot do that a comparable Xeon/Quadro machine can. Sure if the GPU is of critical importance then go for something with the latest Pascal architecture, but otherwise the CPU is still about as good as it gets in the mobile space. Xeon and Quadro stuff is basically the same underlying silicon designs as consumer hardware, with the difference being as you say the signed driver support, which would definitely be important in something like a server or render farm type of operation. But for the home professional working on their projects then this IS going to hold up just fine. Any pro worth their salt is going to be backing up data properly too, not that I would expect any such losses under normal conditions for a few years at least.
Yep this is a 'consumer gaming laptop' from a consumer gaming company, but that doesn't mean the engineers and software people who work there are total fools.... They clearly know how to make a solid, reliable and high performing product.
Tell me again that this is an amateurs comment.
."I and other musicians could make great use of the horspower for creative work, are we not professionals? "
Apologies, no offence and yes, u are professionals but editing videos and music doesnt need a true worstatio, a consumer pc is more than adequate for that.
3d modelling, cad, engeering etc need a true workstation. Not replied as just bit the bullet and spent £3k on a workstation laptop, feel sick in my mouth as this laptop is a beast but unfortunately bottlenecked on purpose by manufactors for enegieers, cad designers, architects etc.so we are forced to buy 'workstations' aka Consumer laptops, unpugged if you will!
No worries. I guess my perspective on tech has always been a non-elitist stance, making the most of what you can get with the best performance for the cost, and there's clearly serious diminishing returns with enterprise level stuff.
You make a good point regarding the arbitrary limitations that the manufacturers put on the consumer level stuff, really annoying when they artificially limit perfomance in certain applications so as not to hurt their sales of the higher level gear. IIRC A recent case of this was when Nvidia released drivers allowing the Titan Xp to perform as well as the Quadro cards in some professional applications, showing that it could have done that the whole time. That was in response to the release of AMD's Vega GPUs, with AMD generally being much less restrictive with allowing their hardware to stretch to it's full potential.
I highly doubt this could not do just as well in 3D modelling and CAD stuff as comparable enterprise professional gear, though I would love to see some good benchmarks on that. If the GPU is really important for that stuff then get something more recent. I guess it comes down to the software and whether it specifically is coded and developed to primarily use the Quadro cards. Not super into 3D modelling stuff so I don't really know, but I know that something like Blender will work plenty well on consumer graphics chips.
And yes, they look the same on paper, but only when this crashes and all …And yes, they look the same on paper, but only when this crashes and all your data disappears after 18 months, a true workstation still has the supoort from thr manufactors for years to come, and WONT crash as they use superior prodicts, specilised drivers and major support!!
A professional has a live backup & version control solution.
Data security is the only considerable functional difference between a professional grade, and consumer laptop.
Regardless, nice laptop at a nice price!
If anyone else ordered it looks like will be in stock on 30th November.
Been looking around after purchasing and for video editing it's an absolute steal.
I spoke to them again yesterday. They were given estimated delivery of 30th November from supplier.
According to them is due in anytime and will be shipped out straight away.
I got the same confusing email last night.
I thought about cancelling but I'd be hard pushed to find anything similar with a 4k screen for anywhere close this that price.
Think it will be worth the wait.
Hi mate, that's it in stock. Dispaches tonight or tomorrow.
Hi mucka, yep recieved mine yesterday, omg it's heavy but lovely build quality... Missing free back pack though!!!

Music With Lyrics: Finding Your Way Back to Yourself After Sexual Assault
The term itself is insufficient and sounds oddly trivial. The word 'stealth' has various associations in the Oxford English Dictionary (2020), including 'secretly and without right or permission', 'clandestinely', 'furtive'. A stealth action happens quickly and slyly, like the swiping of an appetising sweet by a small child before their parent sees. But stealthing does not just happen surreptitiously, swiftly, or without the total awareness of the victim.

This Isn't Going to Be Your Forever
Because of the global COVID-19 pandemic, in many households, the strains of closed schools, lost jobs, health issues, and close quarters mean that tensions are high, tempers are short, and privacy has become a luxury.

Here are a few ideas to help you stay as physically and emotionally safe as possible during these difficult days.

Ethical Horniness, Or How To Find A Partner In An Enthusiastic Consent World
The news is full of the wrong ways to try to have sex. Forever we've seen high profile men – almost always men – chasing people for sex, abusively. For the last few years, some high-profile men have been held at least a little accountable for it, which means it is not always swept under the rug anymore. But now that the abuse is more visible, if you stare into that abyss long enough, it might start to stare back at you. You could end up lying on your bed wondering if being a guy while being horny is somehow inherently tainted and gross. Most of us want to find someone or a few someones, for relationships or hookups, but right now, looking at some of that foulness, it might feel like trying to find a partner is a minefield of red flags because men's sexuality is inextricably abusive. It isn't.
Sexual Assault Exam: An Insiders Guide
I know that isn't news to anyone, but I think we forget that sometimes when trying to help our friends or family members who are going through it. We expect them to act "rationally," like we would, or like we want them to. But sexual assault is traumatic, and making decisions during and after trauma is complicated. Decisions about who to talk to - the police, a healthcare provider, a friend, a teacher - can feel incredibly complicated. Are they going to believe me? Are they going to listen to me? Are they going to call the police even though I don't want that? What is going to happen next?

Some forms of abuse, like physical abuse or some kinds of sexual assault, are more easily identified by victims or witnesses.

It is notoriously difficult to understand and recognize, especially for a victim.

2018-19 Women's Basketball Season Preview
AMHERST, Mass. – How do you build off of the momentum of two straight undefeated national titles while also turning the page to a new campaign and incorporating a group of first years who haven't been to the top of the mountain yet?
That is what Head Coach G.P. Gromacki and the Mammoths will hope to navigate when they tip off the 2018-19 season on Saturday evening as the two-time defending national champions and currently on a 66-game winning streak.
"For the people that are returning, I'm sure there is some carryover," said Gromacki, the 2018 D3Hoops.com National Coach of the Year. "They know what they have done and what they're trying to do again. The new people are trying to continue a tradition."
Luckily for the Mammoths, those returners include three junior starters – Cam Hendricks, Hannah Fox and Madeline Eck, with the latter two selected as WBCA All-Americans.
Fox and Eck averaged 11 points a game last season, while Hendricks was the leading three-point shooter on the squad, shooting 37.5% from distance. Fox, also a D3Hoops.com All American, was named to the NCAA Final Four All-Tournament team last season and finished the championship game with twelve points, three assists, two steals, and seven rebounds. Eck had eight points, seven boards, three assists, and three steals. Hendricks had two huge three-pointers during the title win over Bowdoin.
"Bringing back three starters from last year's team is a huge help. They have been there before and now they've just got to step into leadership roles," said Gromacki. "The junior class hasn't lost a game in their careers and I think they are probably pretty aware of where we stand from a historical point of view," he added in reference to the possibility of breaking the NCAA Division III record for consecutive victories. The Mammoths would need 16 more wins to top the mark currently held by Washington University (MO).
The other two players who enter the year with a pair of rings are senior guards Maeve McNamara and Meghan Sullivan. In addition to winning the Elite 90 Award for the highest GPA of any player at the Final Four last year, Sullivan averaged 12.3 minutes and 3.1 points per game.
McNamara, who will miss the beginning of the season while she competes for the national championship with Amherst Women's Soccer, came off the bench in all 33 games last season, averaging 3.5 points and 1.3 assists per game while shooting 35.1% from three-point land.
Kate Sullivan '21 played in 27 games as a first year and made the most of her first playoff appearance, scoring four points in the final two minutes of the national championship game.
Amherst will add five first-year players to their core this season, guards Gabrielle Zaffiro (Glen Head, N.Y.), Lauren Pelosi (Middlebury, Conn.) and Courtney Resch (San Francisco, Calif.) and forwards Jade DuVal (Cleveland, Ohio) and Dani Valdez (Poughkeepsie, N.Y.).
According to Gromacki, it is most important that the first year players are comfortable on the defensive side in his system, no surprise for a team that broke the NCAA record last year by holding opponents to 38.8 points per game.
Defensive efficiency has been the hallmark of Gromacki's teams, who have led the nation in scoring defense for each of the last three seasons.
"I think we get a lot of respect of our ability and us as a program," said Gromacki, whose 12th season on the bench will begin against Farmingdale State and RPI this weekend. "I think as Division 3 goes, people that follow us believe we run one of the best programs in the country."

Weslee Spread Their Urbanphilia In "London Love"
Posted on June 25, 2019 in NEWS
Still from Weslee – London Love (Music Video)
R&B duo Weslee pays homage to London in their new video "London Love" where they take us to the various parts of the world-renowned cosmopolis through the lens of different characters. Directed by Vasilisa Forbes, "London Love" captures the youth and the spirit of the city that has a life of its own. The track kicks off with the acoustic vocals of Emma DD as the thrumming percussions and echoing samples morph into a semi-minimalistic rhythm that is frayed with smoky edges. Through witty lyrical wordplay, the duo radiate their own sass through the satirical urban personas that they build. Enjoy:
Comprised of vocalist Emma DD and producer Josh Grant, Weslee formed when the duo met by serendipity in New York back in 2014. Their moniker is named after Emma's childhood pet, which was a terrapin (small turtle). The duo broke into the scene with their debut track "Gassed," which was featured on FX's series You're The Worst. Since then, their works have been sued in other TV shows and they've supported other artists such as Jessie Ware. The duo is currently working on new music, so stay tuned.
