Mohammad Asif receives Entry Clearance from the UAE Government by PakPassion.Net
Player: Mohammad Asif
DateLine: 11th April 2011
Banned Pakistan pace bowler Mohammad Asif has received a pardon from the United Arab Emirates government, enabling him to play cricket in the UAE in future, and also allowing him to travel to and from the United Arab Emirates.
The clearance from the UAE Government was confirmed to Asif via the Pakistan Cricket Board Chairman Ijaz Butt.
28 year old Asif was banned from entering the UAE in 2008 after being detained at Dubai International Airport on suspicion of possessing illegal drugs. An unknown substance was found in Asif's wallet, and was sent for analysis along with a sample of Asif's urine. He was withdrawn from Pakistan's squad for the tri-series in Bangladesh.
On June 19, 2008, the criminal charges against Asif were dropped by the Dubai Public Prosecutor, but Asif was banned from entering the UAE ever again.
Asif confirmed the news to *PakPassion.net* regarding the overturning of his ban on travel to and from the United Arab Emirates, and also verified that he would be able to play cricket in the UAE either upon completion of his current ban from the ICC, or upon completion of the ban if it were to be amended at some point in the future.
Asif - who along with Salman Butt and Mohammad Amir - was banned from all forms of cricket after the spot fixing hearing in Doha, also confirmed that any developments regarding his appeal to the Court of Arbitration of Sport will only occur once the upcoming criminal case is concluded.
A further hearing regarding the criminal trial is scheduled for 20th May in London, when a date for the trial may be set.

Another month and another block to do. Good Stitches. This time Briawna asked us to make arrow blocks from this tutorial. The timing was perfect since I already have my string out making October's block drive blocks!
We made a 21" square block and we're sending Briawna the bonus triangles (upper right) plus I made myself a bonus blocks from the leftovers (lower right).
Linking to WIP Wednesday at Freshly Pieced.
Rory in all his glory, next to moms' fabric..
Wow - those are really cute arrow blocks! Love the prints.
This is a great pattern that I've made before and I really liked the results... hmmm, perhaps I should pull it back out again. I just joined my first quilting bee, and although have only had one month of block making, it's been nice to work on someone else's project.
Very nice arrows... this will be a lovely finish with a great cause!
Those arrows are fantastic! Love the colors!


Read through the play yourself and notice that there are five acts, that Act 1 has five scenes, that Act 2 has two scenes, etc. After you've tracked all of this down by looking through the text yourself, have your XSLT create, all at once, the entire HTML document above. Where you want it to say Act 4, Scene 2 , for example, you type those exact characters into your XSLT, and you do that manually for all of the acts and all of the scenes.
Have the XSLT do all of the work, so that you don't even have to know how many acts there are, or how many scenes each act has. Have your XSLT find all of the acts in the play, no matter how many there are and no matter where they are. Print the header for each one. Then, before you go on to the next act, have the XSLT find all of the scenes in that act and print their headers.
Here's another way to think about the difference between those two models. The first says (we'll simplify the problem for the moment and talk just about the acts, as if there weren't any scenes) print a title for Act 1, then for Act 2, then for Act 3, then for Act 4, then for Act 5, and then stop. The second says find all the acts, no matter how many there are, and process them in the order in which they occur. When you run out of acts, you're done.
The first approach requires you to do all the work. If you're going to type up, manually, each of the headers, you might as well just write the HTML manually. Furthermore, the first approach doesn't even need to look at the play; the human has done that already and created the output, instead of letting the XSLT create the output in response to what it finds in the play. A big problem with having the human write the output separately and explicitly for each act and scene is that when that's done, all you have is the table of contents for that one play. If you want to get a table of contents for another play (which may have a different number of acts, with a different number of scenes in each act), you have to build that manually, as well. The second approach, on the other hand, will work for any play, no matter how many acts or scenes it has, and it (the program, not you) has to look at the play to determine how many acts and scenes there are.
The preceding two strategies can both be considered algorithms, or step-by-step instructions for completing the task, although the first is so brute force that some programmers would consider it a non-algorithmic solution because it really says don't even look at the play; just print this stuff that I've typed up manually . The second algorithm is clearly superior for two reasons: 1) it lets the computer do more of the work (the human doesn't even have to know the act and scene structure of the play) and 2) it works for any play with any number of acts or scenes.
This creates the correct output, but it doesn't extract any information at all from the input XML document. The human has written the entire output HTML by hand, and the XSLT just produces it all at once. The XSLT doesn't figure out how many acts or scenes there are (the human had to do that manually), and it also doesn't know what the <head> elements say because it never looks at them. The human has counted the acts and scenes, hard-coded where each one should be cited, and has manually duplicated the information that could have been extracted automatically from the <head> elements in the input XML document.
This solution also requires the human to figure out exactly how many acts and scenes there are, and it manually places each one where has to be. If the programmer mistypes a number in a predicate or miscounts the number of scenes or types something out of order, it gets the wrong answer. It also can't create a table of contents for any play that has a different number of acts or scenes. Unlike the preceding example, which doesn't even look into the input XML document, this one does require access to the input XML version of the play because it is extracting the value of the <head> elements from there. Nonetheless, this version requires the human, rather than the computer, to determine how many acts and scenes there are and where they should be placed in the output HTML.
The first template rule, for the document node (the entire document) says create an HTML document for the output, create an unordered list (<ul>) inside the body of that HTML document, and then do something for every act in the play no matter how many there are (//body/div). The second template processes each act by creating a list item (<li>) for it and, inside that item, outputting the value of the <head> for that act ( Act 1 , Act 2 , etc.), creating a new <ul> to list the scenes in that act, and then processing each scene. The third template creates a list item for each scene.
Note that this program doesn't have to know how many acts and scenes there are, and it doesn't have to know exactly what each <head> says. It follows the second algorithm, above, and lets the computer count the acts and scenes, copy the output text from the input XML document, and know when to stop because it has run out of acts and scenes.
XSLT is a transformation language, and it is designed to take an XML input document and transform it into something else. An XSLT stylesheet that doesn't extract any information at all from the input XML isn't really performing a transformation. And an XSLT stylesheet that requires the human to do things that the computer can do much more easily and reliably, such as count the acts and scenes and get them in the right order, isn't taking advantage of the algorithmic facilities that computational tools provide.
When you approach an XSLT transformation problem, before you write a line of code, think about how much of the answer is already latent in your input XML. In this case, the number of act and scenes, the order in which they appear, and the value of their <head> elements were all already present in the input XML. All that information should be extracted from the input XML by the XSLT stylesheet, and not recreated manually by the human. What the human has to do is supply information not present in the input XML (such as, for example, the fact that the output should be in the form of HTML unordered lists) and specify when specific bits of information in the input XML should be fetched and where they should be written in the output. As a rule of thumb, if the computer can do it for you, don't do it yourself.
Note that the steps were not numbered explicitly in the input XML. The numbers were added by the XSLT stylesheet during the transformation. The big payoff for letting the computer do the numbering is that if you later decide to add a step (e.g., Grind coffee beans ), you don't have to change the step numbers manually.
Development strategies that can deal gracefully with different types of input are considered robust, which means that they don't break easily (the opposite of robust is fragile or brittle). Manual numbering, where the computer could have handled it for you, is fragile because you can mistype, and also because if you modify your content, you may have to modify all of the numbering, including the numbers you've already entered for other items. There are times when you might need to enter numbers manually, though. For example, if you're transcribing a document that was originally misnumbered and you want to record that original numbering, with the error, you'll have to enter that yourself. In most cases, though, for more robust results, you'll want to rely on XPath and XSLT to take care of this type of task for you.

I am continuing the battle to end the saga associated with 1 Stewart's Place, Holywood which has remained in a perilous state of dereliction since July last year, resulting in the closure of the adjacent Bangor Road.
After successfully bringing my proposal to Council late last year requesting officers urgently bring back a report on options available for statutory intervention to enable full re-opening of Bangor Road further developments have occurred. I understand that the site has now been sold and specialists engaged by the new owners to examine how the building may by fixed with plans now due to the submitted which will result in the road being fully re-opened. Officers are also actively considering serving a notice requiring action to address the condition of the building within a specified period of time.
Whilst these developments are welcome I am not relenting and have also been pressurising Transport NI to exert their influence as the authority permitting partial closure of the road. A further report on the range of options available to Council will be tabled in the weeks ahead including hopefully the option to service an Urgent Works Notice which would involve Council directly intervening to fix the building and then billing the owner. Together via this wide range of actions I hope to see resolution of this disgraceful saga which has resulted in great inconvenience for local residents, visitors and detrimental impact upon local traders. Holywood has had enough and needs the road re-opened and building sorted without any more delay and buck passing.

Hot Off The Press: Forbes Article on London Perfect
Last Updated: | Published: March 28th, 2018
Dashing Victoria was featured in the Forbes article.
We know how fabulous our London residences are – do you? We were delighted after a recent Forbes article was published on Forbes.com about London Perfect, "How to Design The Perfect Property in London." Written by London-based travel columnist Bridget Arsenault, who stayed at our gorgeous Danebury home, it features an insightful Q&A with our chief designer Jo Cicero.
Charming Kensington.
Our luxurious rental homes are located in the best parts of London and are very carefully selected – not every apartment makes the grade. On London Perfect, travelers can browse our beautiful rentals, check our current deals and all our other bespoke services. There's a reason we are called Perfect Experiences: from personalized itineraries or tours, unique lifestyle experiences or our fabulous concierge services (we can book you in at the hottest restaurants) – we know that it's the little touches that can make a vacation memorable. Let us do the work for you!
We can make reservations for you at iconic London restaurants such as The Ivy.
Bridget is the former Associate Editor of Vanity Fair London and London Correspondent for vanityfair.com having previously worked on publications such as Vogue UK and Travel + Leisure. She interviews our talented long-time interior decorator Jo, to help shed some light on how we make our apartments so special and our stays so personalized. The article also mentions some of our other stylish homes including Victoria and Middleton.
Victoria dining room.
On the types of projects she has worked on, Jo says, "I have worked on a range of properties for London Perfect, from characterful Victorian mews houses, small studio flats, Art Deco apartments and even purpose-built properties. With regards to mews houses, these are always great to work on, as the properties naturally have a charm to them. My job, however, is to enhance this and give individual personality for each of them, so that no house is quite the same."
The green-blue accented Danebury lounge.
Jo also talks about how she transforms our London properties and her influences – adding charm, style, and elegance to each individual apartment: "I like spaces that carry certain challenges, such as the entrance to the Danebury. The entrance also serves as a dining area and is directly linked to the kitchen and staircase to the upper floors. The challenge was to create a welcoming entrance, as well as a relaxed dining area that also linked directly to the existing kitchen design. The wood on the dining area table links with the wooden shelf in the kitchen and the chairs bring a welcoming hue to the space, which works well as an entrance and also a sophisticated dining area. The client also requested a TV for this area, which I was concerned would upset the balance, especially with the mixed purpose space. I, therefore, suggested a mirrored TV, which enlarges the space and also cleverly conceals the TV."
The top floor and snug at Middleton.
It's hard to pick a favorite home from our vast handpicked collection but everybody has a preference, be it a home with a contemporary design or an outdoor terrace, a historical mews house on a quaint street or a place located in a desirable neighborhood such as Kensington. Jo also chats about her personal favorites: "I really like the top floor snug and terrace in Middleton. The snug offers a quiet retreat to either relax, read a book or work at the desk, whilst looking out at the private outdoor retreat away from any onlookers. Despite being literally a stone's throw from the busy bustling South Kensington museums, we've managed to make it feel as if you're in a quiet rural village somewhere."
Her final thoughts on London Perfect? Jo says of our brand, "The consistent London Perfect feature is that all their properties offer a warm embrace with a home from home feeling. With the addition of little surprises and details that one may not have thought of." Exactly Jo.
So what are you waiting for? Book with us for your next vacation to see what all the fuss is about!

Address by Alan Shatter, T.D., Minister for Justice, Equality and Defence at the launch of the Irish Prison Service Three-Year Strategic Plan - 30 April, 2012 Irish Prison Service Training & Development Centre, Beladd House, Portlaoise, Co. Laois.
Prisons Policy
Distinguished Guests, Judge Reilly, Inspector of Prisons.
I am delighted to be with you here today in the Irish Prison Service Training & Development Centre to launch the new Three-Year Strategic Plan for the Irish Prison Service.
The Strategy contains a new mission statement and vision for the Irish Prison Service – a mission to "provide safe and secure custody, dignity of care and rehabilitation to prisoners for safer communities" and a vision for the Service of "a safer community through excellence in a prison service built on respect for human dignity".
The key objectives are -
The Irish Prison Service plays a very important role in providing safe care and secure custody of all of those committed to it by the courts. The role of the Service is also to engage with convicted prisoners in a realistic and meaningful way in order to reduce their reoffending and enhance their reintegration back into society. By doing so, the Service can not only contribute to public safety and a reduction in recidivism but also ensure that convicted offenders properly serve sentences imposed on them and that decisions made relating to prisoners in its care do not result in any unnecessary danger/risk to the wider community. This cannot be done by the Prison Service on its own. It requires the Service to work in close partnership with key Departments, agencies and organisations in the community and non-statutory sector.
I am glad to see that the Strategic Plan includes concrete and practical, if ambitious, targets.
These include endeavouring to align the capacity of our prisons with the guidelines laid down by the Inspector of Prisons in so far as this is compatible with public safety and the integrity of the criminal justice system. The Inspector of Prisons, Judge Michael Reilly, has done considerable work in setting a benchmark against which the Irish Prison Service is to be measured and I am heartened to see that many of his recommendations have been translated into concrete steps to be taken by the Service over the coming three years.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank Judge Reilly for his guidance and constructive advice to the Irish Prison Service and local management of prisons on a variety of matters. You will be aware of my recent decision that all deaths in custody or of those recently released from prison are now to be investigated by the Inspector. I welcome the impartiality and indeed rigour that this recent development will bring.
Returning to the Strategy, I am particularly pleased to note the actions centred specifically around juvenile offenders. The detention of children in St. Patrick's Institution will end with the provision of more appropriate accommodation and regimes in the new detention facility at Oberstown by mid-2014. This is thanks to investment by the Irish Youth Justice Service under the auspices of my colleague Frances FitzGerald, TD, Minister for Children and Youth Affairs, and signals the Government's commitment to address children's issues. Only last week we jointly launched new legislation making it an offence not to report serious crimes against children and Heads of a Bill to implement the Children First Guidelines on a statutory basis. I should add these are primarily child protection measures and are not intended to generate more business for the Irish Prison Service.
We are committed to eliminating the practice of slopping out in our prison system and upgrading outdated, and in some cases, Victorian accommodation as set out in the Government Programme for National Recovery. The Strategy I am launching here today outlines a 40-month capital plan to provide in-cell sanitation in all cells and significantly improve prison conditions in the older parts of the prison estate. In fact, the largest single allocation of the capital allocation to the Justice Sector for 2012 was provided to the Prisons Service to fund the Prison Service Building Programme. This allows for the completion of a new 300-space prison wing in the Midlands Prison which is expected to become operational later this year. The Capital Plan also provides for continuation of the refurbishment and in-cell sanitation project in Mountjoy Prison which will be a major improvement on the existing physical conditions, including the provision of in-cell sanitation.
By the end of this year, almost 60 percent of cells in the prison will have in-cell sanitation and by 2014 the whole prison will have been radically upgraded providing a much improved physical environment for both staff and prisoners. Detailed plans are also being finalised for the replacement of Cork prison through the construction of a new modern prison on the adjacent prison car park site and I also understand that planning has commenced in relation to the replacement of parts of Limerick prison which are no longer fit for purpose in the twenty first century.
Our prisons are not intended to be mere warehouses for criminals and I want to see an increased emphasis on rehabilitation. To this end, the Prison Service is setting out to re-engineer our prison system to give further effect to the principles of normalisation, progression and reintegration. This is done through work training and education, but also through the work of the medical, dental and other healthcare services, the psychology service and the chaplaincy not forgetting the inputs from the Probation Service and voluntary and community organisations. Of particular importance to this process is the introduction of the new Incentivised Regimes Policy, and the continuing roll-out of the Integrated Sentence Management programme.
Incentivised Regime provides for a differentiation of privileges between prisoners according to their level of engagement with services and quality of behaviour. It is mandatory for each prison and for all prisoners. The objective is to provide tangible incentives to prisoners to participate in structured activities and to reinforce incentives for good behaviour, leading to a safer and more secure environment. There are three levels of privilege provided for – basic, standard and enhanced. In practice, newly committed prisoners will enter at the standard level. They will progress to the enhanced level by meeting the criteria for that level, notably by exemplary behaviour and satisfactory engagement in structured activities, and, for those offenders eligible, participation in Integrated Sentence Management. Regression to the basic level will result from failure to meet the criteria for the standard level, notably by failure to meet normal behaviour standards and/or consistent refusal to engage in structured activities.
The intended incentives at the enhanced level potentially include:
· a level of gratuity higher than standard,
· higher levels of access to private cash and tuck shop expenditure,
· priority access to better quality accommodation,
· an enhanced daily regime,
· enhanced facilities and
· increased contact with the outside world.
At the enhanced level, prisoners must participate actively in structured activities in education, work/training and/or offender programmes for a specified time The level of participation and commitment will be confirmed by the person in charge of the activity, for example the head teacher, industrial manager or senior psychologist.
This policy has the potential to deliver a safer and more secure environment for prisoners and staff and to enhance prisoner rehabilitation through greater involvement in sentence planning and structured activities. The policy will also develop the role of prison officers - class officers and ACOs in particular - and can be a catalyst for bringing about cultural change in the prisons.
Integrated Sentence Management goes hand in hand with the Incentivised Regime and involves a new orientation in the delivery of services to prisoners and a new emphasis on prisoners taking greater personal responsibility for their own development through active engagement with both specialist and non-specialist services in the prisons. The end result will be a prisoner-centred, multidisciplinary approach to working with prisoners with provision for initial assessment, goal setting and periodic review to measure progress.
Newly committed prisoners with a sentence of greater than one year are eligible to take part in Integrated Sentence Management. If they agree to participate, an assessment is undertaken to identify the needs of the prisoner in several areas such as accommodation, education and offending behaviour. Referrals are made on foot of this assessment to services within the prison such as Education or Work & Training and outside agencies providing an in-reach service. These services and agencies carry out their own assessment of the prisoner and feed their recommended actions back to the Integrated Sentence Management Co-ordinator. From this a Personal Integration Plan of actions for the prisoner to complete during his/her time in prison is compiled.
Approximately 9 months prior to the release of the prisoner, a Community Integration Plan is developed. This sets out a plan for the prisoner to prepare for his/her release. Important issues such as accommodation, employment or education are addressed to help the prisoner resettle into the community on release and reduce the risk of re-offending.
These policies are, I believe, central to the rehabilitation of those committed to the care of the Irish Prison Service and thereby contribute towards a safer society.
Before I conclude I should also mention the Interdepartmental group on mental health and the criminal justice system we have established. I look forward to its recommendations which may have important implications for diverting the mentally ill from prison and ensuring those in prison receive appropriate treatment.
I also want to say that it is my intention to consolidate and restate prison legislation in clear accessible modern terms and in this context, one of the issues I am currently considering is the area of remission as it is my view that a review of this particular subject is long overdue.
The Strategy is underpinned by the principles of dignity and respect and these principles will be at the heart of what the Service sets out to achieve over the period of the Strategy. I am aware that the Service has a long and proud tradition of providing safe, secure and humane custody to prisoners in its care and I believe that, in this context, this Strategy sets a challenging reform agenda for the next three years.
In all things balance is critically important and I emphasise the fact that in all of this the most vital strategic target is the enhancement of public safety. As a key element of the Criminal Justice System, the Irish Prison Service, along with An Garda Síochána and the Courts, has a critical role to play in this regard and it is vitally important that, when what some commentators have described as the inevitable tension between care and custody becomes an issue, we must never lose sight of the need to put public safety and the integrity of the Criminal Justice System to the forefront.
The realisation of the vision that it embodies for the Service is very much dependent on buy-in from every member of staff in the Service, - everyone – in every prison, in headquarters, leaders and those at the interface with prisoners and the support services. Reform cannot be solely driven from the top; it must be driven and embraced by each and every member of staff who must act as the key agents of change. I am glad to see that all the senior managers of the Irish Prison Service are here today, Governors, Directors and other senior staff. Your staff look to you for leadership. Show that leadership! If you embrace the objectives outlined in this strategic plan; lead and drive them then together you can make the changes that are required to transform the prison system in a progressive and positive way.

The pandemic reminds us how women show up to lead

The pandemic has cast a sharp light on the role of women in leadership. National leaders such as Angela Merkel of Germany and Jacinda Ardern of New Zealand were active in fighting the coronavirus before many other countries. Gov. Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan led her state to take early and persistent action to slow the spread of COVID-19.
A recent article by Jack Zenger and Joseph Folkman in Harvard Business Review offers evidence that women leaders are better in times of crisis. In fact, according to a review of women leaders' engagement scores, women outpointed men by six points: 55.2 to 49.2.
Based on an analysis of 360-degree reviews during the pandemic, women also scored better on most leadership competencies. They ranked higher in initiative, learning agility, inspiration/motivation, development of others and relationship building, among others. In risk-taking, women had a one-point edge.
As Zenger and Folkman write, employees "want leaders who are able to pivot and learn new skills; who emphasize employee development even when times are tough; who display honesty and integrity; and who are sensitive and understanding of the stress, anxiety, and frustration that people are feeling. Our analysis shows that these are traits that are more often being displayed by women."
What these findings assert is something that Harvard professor and author Meg Wheatley has written: "Leadership is a series of behaviors rather than a role for heroes."
Even while women excel in crisis management, it's men who are expected to lead, often with less than satisfactory results. And there is a reason for that.
"For too long too few women have been under-represented at the C-suite and senior executive levels, so finding colleagues to discuss your experiences with to co-create solutions to them has been difficult for women at best," says Alaina Love, former senior HR executive who is a consultant. "This is due to both representation and mindset. Over the past decade, I've observed a burgeoning willingness among women to support the growth and development of other female co-workers in a way that overshadows the competitive mindset-driven behaviors of the 20 years prior."
What women can do
Change begins with individuals. "First, get very clear in your own mind exactly what you would like your next step to be and why that appeals to you," says Sally Helgesen, author of "How Women Rise" and an authority on women in leadership. "For example, I want to be the next head of our customer relations unit because I have some innovative ideas that I think would help us do a better job. You want to know what those ideas are, of course, and be able to articulate them concisely so you can build your case."
The willingness to stretch yourself is imperative. Shannon Polson, author of "The GRIT Factor" and a former Army helicopter pilot, says, "It's important for women leaders to be willing to step outside of their comfort zones, take on stretch assignments and take risks to demonstrate audacity and competence. Doing the work is often not enough, however. Women leaders should be willing to speak up and be heard in important discussions, even when it is difficult."
Tammy Jersey, an executive coach and leadership consultant who works with women leaders, concurs. "Share your views with precision and conviction — in a way that helps advance the conversation, which might mean you are redirecting the groupthink. Avoid qualifiers in your speech, because these often suggest a lack of confidence."
"Women starting their careers are often advised to find a mentor or sponsor as a vehicle for advancing their careers," Love adds. "While this is sound guidance, I suggest to women at all levels that they find other women to support and advocate for in alignment with that person's capabilities and contributions. Pay it forward, and watch as the gift is reciprocated."
Jersey advises women to "get results" by leveraging their confidence and being more collaborative. "Leaders will respect you if you are helping move the business forward."
Jersey adds, "Speak up when you have a point of view, even if it is to reinforce what someone else said."
Helgesen advises thinking ahead. "Consider what skills you probably need to position yourself for the job and then decide on a plan to start building them. And also consider who could be helpful to you in positioning yourself for this position."
Bottom line, Jersey advises, "Be candid and authentic. And be willing to be vulnerable. This can take the form of admitting that you learned something from what someone else shared. Say thank you for the new perspective. Also, be willing to adapt your views if you truly believe that someone else has a better view than the one you started with. Admit that openly."
"Courage," writes Brene Brown in "Daring Greatly," "starts with showing up and letting ourselves be seen." Women who assert their leadership do so bravely, and the people they lead will benefit considerably.
John Baldoni is a globally recognized executive coach and leadership educator. Inc.com ranked John a Top 50 Leadership Expert and Top 100 leadership speaker. Trust Across America awarded John its Lifetime Achievement award for Trust and Global Gurus ranked him No. 9 on its list of Top 30 leadership experts.

Hey guys I'm back! It's time for another #WednesdaywithNate !
I curled my hair for the first time using the Remington Ceramic Ionic Compact Setter.They come in a pack of 10 and cost about $15 dollars at my local Walmart. When I first purchased these hot rollers I was a bit skeptical because the packaging was so small. I wasn't sure that the rollers would be able to curl all of my hair at one time, but I have used other Remington products before and gotten great results so I figured it was worth a try. See pictures below.
I also did a get ready with me video on my YouTube channel using the rollers! Enjoy!
P.S. Did you have a chance to see this past Monday's motivation post? I also have other YouTube videos up so make sure you go check them out! I never want you to miss a post so it'd make me a really happy lady if you subscribe to my blog! ANNNNDDDD as always thank you so much for your visit!!!

Cash Money Records, Interviews, Latest News Previous Next
Cash Money Records Merging With Warner Music Group? + Fabolous Inspired By No Ceilings
Fri, Dec 25, 2009 by Daniel Mousdell
If worked right, this merge could be HUGE! Last week while Baby and Wayne paid a visit to a Manhattan courthouse for Wayne's gun case (he'll be sentenced Feb. 9th), they also paid visit to Warner Music Group's HQ's.
Details are extremely sketchy at this point, but an EXTREMELY reliable source confirmed with me that a "secret secret hush hush* meeting occurred with several major big wigs from both parties (Oh hai Lyor Cohen & Brian Williams).
While nothing's been solidified in regards to logistics to this ground breaking venture, possibilities of future collaborations and ish of that nature are hatching as we speak. A merger of the sort could combine the forces of every conglomerate under the respective umbrellas of WMG and Cash Money Records.
This includes Atlantic Records Group (Lupe's 1st & 15th Entertainment, T.I.'s Grand Hustle Records, Maino's Hustle Hard imprint) Warner Brothers Records Inc (Asylum Records- Gucci Mane lives here, Warner Bros. Records, Blacksmith Records) and a bevy of other imprints.
And then you have to think of all the subsidiary labels under those major labels. Get my drift?
A quick note before I get out of here: Gee Roberson (the founder of the management empire, Hip Hop Since 1978) co-manages Lil Wayne and Drake- two actives players under the Cash Money/Young Money umbrella.
Gee also still serves as the president under Atlantic Records' Urban Division. Put the pieces together, enjoy some egg nog and let's merge some theories of what this could turn into for 2010. Cool?
Shouts to BET, and this would be BIIIGGG if it turns out to be true! Hit the jump to see some more updates including 40 Cock and Fabolous:
40 Glocc & Zoo Life talk about Lil Wayne ONCE again:
Fabolous says Drake's So Far Gone, and Lil Wayne's No Ceilings inspired him to do his own mixtape:
"The Drake mixtape of course was a huge success," Fab explained in an interview. "Lil Wayne's tape generated a lot of interest. I saw Wayne and just listening to his tape gave me kinda the feeling that people still accepted the mixtapes and wanted to hear it. I guess it's particular artists that they attach to but I had felt even with the most high-class artists, people were getting so used to getting free music that the mixtape game wasn't that influential anymore. So when I seen what [Wayne's] No Ceilings did, it let me see that there's still definitely potential there, there's still that market there. I think for me it's definitely there because my albums tend to be a little more mainstream than my mixtapes."

SCISSR App Review — A Place for LGBTQ+ Women, No Dudes, No Fakes
We recently conducted a review of SCISSR and gained practical experience in how the app functions. If you want to meet and engage with other women like yourself, give our SCISSR app review a read. You should find it to be just the sort of guide you need to determine if SCISSR is right for you.
SCISSR App Review Results

Value - 82
Features - 74
Quality of Members - 82
Safety - 77
Customer Satisfaction - 79
Final Word on SCISSR
We found SCISSR to be a well-rounded app for LGBTQ+ women. The platform is updated frequently and the development and management team take the task of keeping it safe and free of trolls seriously. If you have been looking for a place where you can be yourself, find romance, friendship, or whatever — SCISSR should be a good fit for you.
We would rate SCISSR as VERY GOOD.
Lesbian Hookup Sites and Apps
— Pros and Cons —
Completely free to use without limitations
Does a good job at keeping men and trolls off the platform
The app has a strong community feel
Ideal for finding long-term partners, casual encounters, and friendships
Simple but effective set of features
Less densely populated areas have lower levels of activity and members
Must link to your Facebook account to register
Lacks a desktop version
— In-Depth SCISSR App Review —
Over the last five years, the number of dating sites and apps dedicated to LGBTQ+ women has grown in number. Unfortunately, while the number of platforms increases, the level of user experience that they offer remains stagnant. Even apps as popular as "HER" receive less than lackluster comments from some of its user base.
SCISSR is an LGBTQ+ dating app that has been around since 2015. It has not been until quite recently, however, that it has started to gain some traction among its target demographic.
On the surface, it appears slick, modern, and user-friendly. Its promotional material makes it out to be a fun and safe platform that provides LGBTQ+ women the perfect venue to be themselves, meet, date, and develop an online community that transcends into real life.
Conceptually and promotionally, that is how SCISSR is laid out to be. The question is, how does it perform in the real world?
— The Users —
SCISSR is designed for LGBTQ+ women by LGBTQ+ women. This means that it is inclusive of all lesbian identities — dyke, queer, gay, lesbian, bisexual, and bi-curious. The app does not favor one identity over another. In style and content, it is inclusive and welcoming.
When it comes to age, ethnicity, and location, SCISSR is equally as inclusive. During our testing, we found all ages — 18 through 55 — well-represented on the app. The same can be said about ethnicity. In terms of the geographic distribution of the SCISSR user base, we found that over 75 percent indicated that they were located in an urban or large metropolitan area. More rural areas did have members present but their level of engagement seemed to be less active.
— The Platform —
SCISSR is available as a mobile app for Android and iOS devices. It does not have a desktop version but it does have a website that provides users with information about the app as well as a community-oriented blog. This can be found at scissr.com.
The app can be downloaded from Google Play and the App Store. It is free to download, install, and use. There is no paid version of SCISSR. All of the features are made to be free to use by all registered members.
SCISSR uses Facebook validation as a part of its registration process. This means that new users must link their Facebook account to SCISSR.
According to the developers, this is done to ensure that only women gain access to the site. The app does not post to your Facebook account.
As far as the effectiveness of keeping men and trolls off the platform, it seems to do a fair job. Our testers did encounter a handful of suspect profiles, but for the most part, the community of members found on SCISSR appears to be genuine. This, in turn, creates a feeling of safety and community that makes you comfortable in opening up and engaging with other members.
— User Profiles and Images —
We found the user profiles on SCISSR to combine simplicity and usefulness. Each user is given the opportunity to provide the basic information about herself. This includes age, hair color, height, ethnicity, sexual identity, and relationship status. Each user is also provided with space to write a small bio about herself. This is a great place to let your personality shine through. We found that some users use this bio section to also write a little bit about the type of partner that they are searching for on the platform.
One of the coolest features on SCISSR is its ability to allow users to edit photos that they uploaded to their profile. Unlike other dating apps that post images as they are, on SCISSR you can crop, adjust the positioning, lighting, and even apply filters to your images right from the app. We found this to be a great time saver.
— Features —
The features available on SCISSR are simple and uncluttered. From an easy to navigate main menu, you can access your own profile, check your messages, invite other friends to the platform, read community-based content, and check out those who have "crushed" your profile.
SCISSR also has a decent search feature.
This allows you to search for other members based on the primary attributes found on user profiles. You can also adjust the distance of the suggested matches compared to your own location.
A list of suggested matches is presented to you in a scrollable format consisting of each woman's main profile picture, her screen name and approximate distance from you. When you come across a profile that you are interested in, you can click on it and her bio page will open. From there, you can click on the "crush" button — which is for all intensive purposes a "like" button — or you can add them to your "wish list." By adding someone to your wish list you can monitor their status updates and attempt to make contact with them later. Also, if the user happens to be online at that moment you can request to start a private message with them.
The messaging functionality on SCISSR is text-based. You can attach images and sound files if you wish. It is nothing fancy, but it performs its job well.

Albion betting odds
Lewis Dunk in action for Brighton
BRIGHTON & Hove Albion Football Club face a huge week as they welcome both Ipswich and Arsenal to the Amex.
Albion host Ipswich in the Championship on Wednesday, before their FA Cup fourth round clash with Arsenal on Sunday.
The Seagulls enter both fixtures on the back of new manager Chris Hughton's first defeat since taking the job after the weekend's 1-0 defeat when hosting Brentford.
Bees' striker Andre Gray netted the game's only goal to take his tally for the season to ten and is now 33/1 with BetVictor to be the Championships leading goalscorer. Goals are where Albion have struggled, scoring just 27 goals in 26 league games thus far and Dunk leading the goalscoring charts with a paltry four goals. How many sides will have a defender as the leading marksman? Then again, how many sides will have six goals topping the scoring charts?
Brighton top scorer odds: Lewis Dunk 3/1, Sam Baldock 7/2, Adrian Colunga 7/2, Chris O'Grady 9/2, Craig Mackail-Smith 7/1.
Brighton are 13/8 favourites to come out on top in their match against Ipswich, while the visitors are priced at 19/10 and the draw 23/10.
The Tractor boys lost last week's top of the table clash when welcoming Derby to Portman Road and despite bouncing back at Millwall on Saturday have yet to keep a clean sheet in their last four and consequently Brighton appeal at 7/2 to win to nothing with BetVictor.
Albion then face a tough test as they welcome Premier League side Arsenal, fresh from their 2-0 success at Manchester City on Sunday.
Arsene Wenger's side remain in excellent form and are the 7/1 fourth favourites (behind Chelsea and both Manchester clubs) to be lifting silverware aloft at Wembley in May.
If you fancy Brighton to pull off a major upset BetVictor are offering 5/1 for a home win, with the draw 16/5 and an Arsenal win priced at 4/7.

There were a couple weeks earlier in the summer when I didn't put Ella and Ruby in camp. For some reason I thought this would be good for them. They could relax, hang out with each other and me and Lilah. We could get our nails done. We could go to the city. We could bond.
Instead, they drove each other and me crazy most of the time. They couldn't agree on any activities to do together, whether it was a game or an outing. All they seemed to be able to do without snarling at each other was sit side-by-side and play on the iPad or iTouch or iPhone, or login to Instagram or Fantage. And let's face it, that's not really doing anything together. Some of that is because the age difference between them is becoming more pronounced now that Ella is heading into middle school. I get it, but would it kill them to spend a little quality time together?
I thought the answer to that was a hopeless "yes" until the afternoon I'd finally had it.
It's a Quotes Course. I love that it's full of delightful little tidbits that seem both urgent and cheesy at the same time. Which one's your favorite?


Q I am interested in the Insignia NS-SB314 television soundbar you wrote about, but don"t feel confident setting it up. Is there a shop that sells the cables I need that can also hook it up for me, or provide me with instructions?
— Griff Nelson, San Jose, Calif.
A You can always use a for-fee service as offered by big-box retailers, but the Insignia NS-SB314 is very easy to set up. You probably already have the HDMI cables connected to your TV, so all you need to do is connect a single $10 optical cable between the TV and soundbar. Then you go to the TV"s audio setup menu and turn off its internal speakers. That"s it.
I may be posting a setup guide for this soundbar on my website in the near future. I"ve tested several more expensive models since I bought the $99 Insignia, and my experience with the pricier gear has left me even more impressed with this very good buy. It"s inexpensive, simple and sounds natural and pleasant.
If you are someone who feels like they need hand-held purchasing and setting up your home entertainment gear, you should put independently owned local retailers on your shopping list. In my own experience visiting independents for big-ticket purchases, I have found better prices and better service than anywhere else. Many of these stores have been owned by families for generations and have seen many companies like Circuit City come and go. You will probably find the experience and level of satisfaction gets better over time as they get to know you and build a relationship with you.
Two good places to find a local retailer are www.brandsource.com and www.cedia.net. Be sure to visit an independent local retailer when shopping for big-ticket items. You may still find yourself purchasing from the big-box store, but local retailers nationwide are great places to buy televisions, electronics and appliances. Give them a chance.
"Upgrade sale" for HiFi Pro Sport purchasers: Regular readers are familiar with the HiFi Pro Sport earphones I recommended a few months ago. I had a follow-up column regarding problems that some people experienced, and the steps Modern Portable was taking to resolve them. They now have a special offer for anyone who purchased the HiFi Pro Sport, whether the product was returned or not.
The company now has a new, much better earphone model for $39.98. Called the HiFi Elite Sport, it comes from the same factory as their Super 66 over-ear headphones. This factory manufactures products for well-known high-end headphone brands, and the Elite models are made to a much higher standard than the budget-driven HiFi Pro models.
The company wanted to offer something to make it right with anyone who returned the earphones, then decided to make it available to all prior HiFi Pro Sport purchasers. Until Nov. 9, if you previously ordered the HiFi Pro Sport you can buy the HiFi Elite Sport model for the same price, $19.98, by using the code MPTHANKSYOU. On Nov. 10, the HiFi Elite Sport price goes back to $39.98. This code only works for prior HiFi Pro Sport customers. Other customers get 10 percent off with the code WELCOMETOMP, (www.modernportable.com).
I heard the Elite Sport earphones and think they will represent a happy ending to anyone who was not fully satisfied the first time around. As always, however, I want to hear your feedback so write to me with your experiences.

New space holding company crafts acquisition, lobbying strategy
Voyager Space Holdings founder Dylan Taylor. | Voyager Space Holdings
By JACQUELINE FELDSCHER
The new Voyager Space Holdings, which is building a one-stop shop of space companies to offer launch, spacecraft design and on-orbit repair of satellites, is preparing to roll out its Washington-based lobbying staff early next year.
Dylan Taylor, the founder of Voyager Space Holdings, says he's planning to establish a lobbying presence by Jan. 1 -- "maybe sooner" -- to promote the company's interests to Congress and the administration.
Taylor, who is one of the world's top space investors, founded Voyager Space Holdings this month and is now seeking to acquire start-up space companies to build its portfolio.
By bringing multiple capabilities under one company, Tayor says he believes he can allow innovation to flourish by by handling things like finance and accounting centrally, ultimately creating a formidable collection of individual companies that can take on the big prime competitors.
That competition extends to the national security arena, where there is a major push to speed up military space acquisition and establish the Space Force as a new branch of the military.
"We're also very fascinated by this national security piece," says Taylor. There's huge tail winds at the Defense Department with the Space Force ... not to mention the NASA Artemis program and commercial space. But I think the DOD piece ... hypersonics and all the other things going on right now on a national security basis are big drivers."
Taylor, who previously founded the nonprofit Space For Humanity, which focuses on bringing more people to space, sat down with POLITICO on the sidelines of the International Astronautical Conference in Washington. Wearing limited edition Vans sneakers the same color as NASA astronauts' orange flight suits, he spoke about what's next for Voyager and why the space industry won't collapse if billionaires like Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk leave the scene.
This transcript has been edited for length and clarity.
How did you get interested in space?
It's always been a passion of mine. I'm coming at space more from the social change [angle,] which is maybe a little unusual for an investor. I think space is the next big thing for humanity and is transformational for humanity as we go forward. I founded a nonprofit called Space for Humanity. It's whole notion is the more people ... who can experience space, the better we can make life here on Earth.
In that context, the way I think about it is: what does the industry need to help fulfill all these missions that people want to do? Whether it's space tourism or really interesting missions to the moon or Mars, … you really need a healthy capital ecosystem to make that happen. Nation states and governments have the control, but unless the financing is sustainable, it's hard to really keep them on that.
I started getting involved about 10 years ago. At that time, one of the blockages in the industry was early stage angel investor capital, so we spent a lot of time focused on building an angel capital community so that small companies can be formed. Some of those companies are going to fail, but some are going to be successful to the point where venture capitalists and other capital providers would be interested in funding those. … Now what I'm focused on ... is we have a bunch of large companies ... and we have quite a few entrepreneurial startups and things of that nature, but very few companies in between. What the industry is really lacking is scale.
The idea behind Voyager Space Holdings is to consolidate some of these smaller space companies and build a larger publicly traded space company that's more entrepreneurial. ... The CEO of [Altius Space Machines] will still be the CEO of that subsidiary. He will still very much be able to be an entrepreneur, but they'll be within this larger holding company infrastructure and have access to all the other large companies shared services that we'll have at the Voyager level.
So Voyager is not an investing firm.
It's not a private equity fund or an investment fund. It's an actual operating company. ... We'll ultimately take it public, that's the intent.
We think having an operating company where all the companies are working together and sharing best practices and ultimately creating a capability where you have launch, you have spacecraft, you have on-orbit servicing, you have data and analytics, you have an entire soup to nuts capability is going to be really important. [Altius Space Machines] is in the on-orbit servicing vertical, which I'm a big advocate of. We've spent a lot of time as an industry focused on getting mass to orbit. I think the next thing for the industry is manipulating mass in orbit, whether it's servicing satellites, cleaning up space debris, de-orbiting or space manufacturing. This matters because I think it's something the industry needs to break through to that next level of development.
How big do you expect Voyager to be?
We have said that we're going to be a multibillion dollar, multinational company within 10 years. There's a very straightforward path to that. I think we'll exceed that time. The idea would be to acquire somewhere between three and five companies a year. ... We'll hopefully grow those companies to anywhere between $10 million and $100 million in revenue. We might buy bigger companies as well, but that's the strike zone.
We'll have our European headquarters in Malta and our Asian headquarters is going to be in Singapore. The U.S. headquarters is Denver.
What are you looking for in companies to acquire?
The more entrepreneurial, the better. [We're typically looking for] founder-led companies with good intellectual property and between $10 million to $100 million in revenue. That's important because we want to help companies that have been successful that need this structure to scale to the next level. It isn't angel investing where someone is starting a company.
I mentioned on-orbit servicing. The part that we're really interested in there is the ability to manipulate things in space. Robotics is a key part of on-orbit servicing right now. There's a big push on things like the ability to upgrade the satellite, refuel a satellite and de-orbit a satellite. ... What I believe to be true is the large constellations will start selecting standard plugins for their spacecraft that will have these capabilities. So the ability to capture a satellite in space will be standard across many constellations. … If you look at the way industries typically evolve, people recognize the need and then there's some level of standardization and the standardization comes from some of the large customers.
Launch is really interesting. From my vantage point, there's gonna be a little bit of a shake up. There's a lot of launch providers now and I think in 2020 there's likely to be some winners and losers. It's likely Voyager will wait until that sort of shakes out before we make our launch investment. It's a capability we know we need to have in house, but I'm not in a huge hurry to build that.
Do you expect Voyager's business model to be the wave of the future?
I expect there will be other holding company structures. I've been told there are a couple others forming, which tells me we have a good idea. I don't think it's the only solution for this scale problem, but I think it's an important solution. In a lot of industries it would typically be a private equity firm that would do the roll up, but space is difficult because private equity firms are very [internal rate of return] driven. ... Basically, you invest capital and you get a return, but it's very much sensitive to how quickly the capital comes back. It's very sensitive to time. Whereas most other ways to think about investment is you invest a dollar, you get $3 back in 10 years. It doesn't matter if you don't get money in years five, six, seven. ... The point being, typically in private equity, the time frames are a little shorter. Under this model we can be a bit more patient. I think it's a better model for space.
This is an operating company. We're having these companies working together. We're bidding on programs together. ... That doesn't happen with private equity. They're not operators, they're investors really. They buy a company, try to improve it a little bit, then sell it. We're buying it, trying to improve it so that it can be better in the future and we're going to own it for 10, 20, 30 years. That's the difference.
You want all these capabilities under one roof, when other companies are teaming up.
I think so too. You're picking up on a really important point, which is that the large primes dictate the supply chain and there's a lot of shotgun marriages between different companies. They might not know each other or they might not respect each other, or they might not trust each other, but they've been told, "Look, you're going to work with this company."
Whereas if you had a larger operating company that had all these capabilities that was not bureaucratic and actually had the entrepreneurial of vibe going, I really think that's going to be a great competitor for those larger firms. I really believe that it's a better version of these larger firms now. It takes time to build that capability.
The entrepreneurs who have launched these companies, ... they like being able to innovate, create and be entrepreneurs. ... We want to enable that. We can consolidate some of these shared services that they don't have scale on, like finance, administration. ... Even things like public policy. These small companies might have three hours a month from an outsourced public policy person in D.C. That's not going to move the needle. Whereas within Voyager, we can have an entire D.C. team.
Will you have a lobbying arm in D.C. that represents all Voyager's companies?
Hopefully I won't regret pinning myself down on this, but January 1, we'll be on the ground or in D.C. Maybe sooner.
We're also very fascinated by this national security piece. There's huge tail winds at the Defense Department with the Space Force ... not to mention the NASA Artemis program and commercial space. But I think the DOD piece ... hypersonics and all the other things going on right now on a national security basis are big drivers.
What happens if there's a new administration?
It depends on who it is. There is risk for sure that the priorities change. ... It's a significant risk. ... With all that being said, I think for Voyager, it's a little bit of a double edged sword because yes, the tailwind might be less strong, but ... I think it creates more opportunities at the holding company level for us to grow quickly and acquire other companies. I'm not too concerned about our model. I think our model thrives in an up market or down market just in different ways.
I think for the whole ecosystem, politics matter. ... I was at a Commerce Department meeting the other day and [Secretary Wilbur] Ross was there. He said all the right things in terms of space as a priority. ... That sort of thing I think might endure [under former Vice President Joe] Biden or others. [Sen. Elizabeth] Warren probably would be the biggest risk.
What impact would her wealth tax have on space economy given the role of billionaires?
I think of that category of space as more benefactor capital. I just mean capital that's being deployed to space for passion reasons that doesn't necessarily mandate or require return on investment. It's an important part of the ecosystem, but I don't think long-term it's the driver of the ecosystem. I really don't. I really admire what they're doing. I'm glad they're doing it. But if they were to vanish tomorrow, I don't think the ecosystem would be dramatically impaired. It would be a blow. [Jeff] Bezos I think is still the richest person in the world, so even if he's taxed at 4 percent a year, I don't think it's going to effect his spending.

Rancagua es una estación de ferrocarriles inaugurada en 1859 ubicada en la ciudad homónima de Chile. Se emplaza en el km 81 del ferrocarril de Santiago a Curicó, o Ferrocarril del Sur, y que posteriormente formó parte de la Red Sur de la Empresa de Ferrocarriles del Estado. Actualmente sirve como detención y término de recorrido para el servicio de pasajeros del Tren Rancagua-Estación Central.

Historia

El ferrocarril a vapor longitudinal ―desde Santiago de Chile al sur― aún se encontraba en trabajos para junio de 1859 en las cercanías de Paine, y se esperaba que las obras del trazado y vías llegasen hasta Rancagua para el 18 de septiembre de ese año; los retrasos se debieron a que un incendio en Valparaíso destruyó material a utilizarse para construir puentes. Este retraso llevó a que las vías llegasen hasta Rancagua el 25 de diciembre de 1859.; el recinto de la estación se estableció en los terrenos donados por el exalcalde Sótero Calvo de la Cuadra. En julio de 1905 la Empresa Ossa abrió una línea de carros de caballos entre la estación y el centro de la ciudad.

Esta estación no fue la terminal del Ferrocarril Rancagua-Sewell, sino que hubo otra estación que construyó la Braden Copper Company, muy cercana a la estación de Ferrocarriles del Estado y conectada a ella mediante un ramal, en el terreno donde actualmente se ubican las oficinas de Codelco (en la avenida Millán), lugar conocido como "Patio Rancagua". La intensa actividad generada por la estación Rancagua y la estación de la Braden Copper Co., contribuyeron a la formación de un barrio en los alrededores de ambas estaciones, y que recibe precisamente el nombre de Barrio Estación.

El Metrotrén entre Rancagua y Santiago es uno de los más utilizados en la red ferroviaria nacional; en el año 2000 este servicio transportó aproximadamente 3 554 000 pasajeros.

Antes de que operase el Tren Rancagua-Estación Central, el servicio del Metrotrén fue extendido hasta la Estación San Fernando en diciembre de 2000 —una estación después de Rancagua—, sin embargo en 2013 esta quedó sin servicios cuando comenzaron los trabajos y posterior inauguración del actual servicio del Metrotren hasta esta ciudad. En 2019 los alcaldes de San Fernando, Rengo y Malloa se reunieron con la ministra de Transportes —Gloria Hutt— para solicitar la habilitación de un servicio de pasajeros al sur de Rancagua.

En 2016 el Municipio de Rancagua se hallaba realizando estudios un proyecto de 100 millones de dólares para la remodelación de la estación de ferrocarriles y el barrio estación, buscando construir el centro «Intermodal Plaza de La Marina», que logre interconectar servicios de buses y taxis con el ferrocarril. Se indicó que existe una segunda etapa en la cual se construiría un túnel que conecte a la estación con la Avenida Libertador Bernardo O'Higgins.

En agosto de 2019 se anunció el proyecto que crea un servicio expreso que conectará Santiago con Chillán, teniendo paradas en las estaciones de San Bernardo, Rancagua, Talca. El proyecto cuenta con la inversión de 115 millones de dólares ―70 de los cuales están destinados a la adquisión de nuevas máquinas― con las cuales se busca reducir el tiempo de viaje entre las capitales regionales de 5 horas a 3 horas y 40 minutos. La adquisición de los seis nuevos trenes se realizaría a finales de 2022, y el inicio de sus operaciones comenzaría en 2023. En agosto de 2020 se inauguran estacionamientos para bicicletas en la estación ―«EFE-bike»―, para interconectar las ciclovías de la ciudad con el servicio de pasajeros.

El 5 de octubre del 2021 se anunció el retorno en modo piloto, después de 8 años, el recorrido hasta la Estación San Fernando, con detenciones en Estación Rengo y este último mencionado. El servicio operará desde el 12 de octubre con tres salidas de ida por la mañana desde Estación San Fernando hacia Estación Central de Santiago y tres de vuelta por la tarde.

Infraestructura y entorno
La nave de los andenes sigue un patrón arquitectónico observable también en las estaciones Talca y Temuco, poseyendo una nave central con dos andenes (sentido norte y sur) para el transporte de pasajeros, así como además un patio de carga y un edificio de bodegas.

La importancia de esta estación para la ciudad de Rancagua radica en que el Metrotrén es uno de los métodos preferidos de los rancagüinos para viajar a las otras comunas de la región y a las de la Región Metropolitana, ya que el viaje a Santiago demora aproximadamente una hora y cuarto, que cuenta con varias frecuencias diarias, y constituye la única alternativa al transporte en buses.

Arte
El Hall central de la estación cuenta con la serie de murales «El Sitio de Rancagua», comisionados por la Empresa de los Ferrocarriles del Estado a las artistas nacionales Natalia Babarovic y Voluspa Jarpa, quienes trabajaron en estos entre 1992 a 1994.
