Sponsored by www.criaderodecaracoles.com/category/caracoles-helix-aspersa
The incident occurred in Parque del Plata, 50 kilometers from Montevideo, where three people were arrested and two vehicles captured. Just hours ago it had transcended the discovery in Germany of 4,500 kilos of the same drug, inside a container that came from Uruguay.
Uruguayan police seized a total of 854 kilos of cocaine on Saturday in a seaside resort 50 kilometers from Montevideo , local press reported, a day after the discovery of 4,500 kilos of the same drug in Germany transpired in a container Uruguayan.
In the operation , three people were arrested, one of whom was charged with the crime of drug trafficking in deposit mode , said the Underlined portal , and a preventive detention was issued for 90 days against him.
The arrested man is 50 years old, unemployed and was in charge of guarding the drug. For this service he was paid 5,000 Uruguayan pesos a day (about 144 dollars) .
The other two arrested are still waiting for the complaint, and they would be the drivers of a white Mercedes Benz van and a Volkswagen Amarok van, also captured, newspaper El Observador said.
The prosecutor Monica Ferrero intervenes in the case , local press confirmed.
While the owners of the house said they had nothing to do and said they did not know that the tenants to whom they had been rented were drug traffickers.
In total seized 817 bricks of cocaine, with a weight of 854 kilos in the town of Parque del Plata , on the Gold Coast of the Rio de la Plata, 50 kilometers from the capital Montevideo and about 80 kilometers from the exclusive seaside resort Punta from the east.
The Warsaw operation undertaken by the police Uruguay l weighed one of the largest seizures in the country's history, and a day after that transcended the seizure of 4,500 kilos of cocaine in Germany, inside a container of Uruguayan origin.
It would be a drug that was destined for the city of Montevideo, according to researchers, from where it is usually smuggled to Europe, where every kilo of cocaine can be sold at 40,000 euros (about 44,000 dollars). This means the loot of cocaine seized would have a value in Europe of 34,160,000 million euros (about 38 million dollars).
Meanwhile, according to TeleMundo , the drug was launched from airplanes in fields around the coastal area, and then be taken in the vans to the house in Parque del Plata, department of Canelones, as the first stop.
The traffic to Europe
German authorities found two weeks ago a total of 4,500 kilos of cocaine camouflaged in sports bags and transported by a container ship from Uruguay, whose destination was the Belgian city of Ambere s, customs sources in Hamburg reported Friday.

Dr. John has been busy the whole month of February teaching kids about the importance of their teeth. Watch our first video blog to see what he has to say.
Over the past 50 years we have really developed and understanding of how the bacteria in our mouth affect our teeth and gums. More recently, it was discovered that the bacteria causing gum disease were also found in the plaque build-up in our arteries and veins and play a role in heart disease. What that relationship entailed was uncertain.
In a landmark study published in the November 2016 issue of Postgraduate Medical Journal, new evidence supports a cause-and-effect relationship between the bacteria found in periodontal disease and arterial disease. These disease-causing bacteria aid in increasing the concentration of harmful low-density lipoproteins (LDLs) in blood and increase the ability of the LDLs to accumulate into plaques contributing to atherosclerosis.
Dr. John Gernetzke and his team at The Grove Family Dental and TMJ Clinic, LLC, place a priority on prevention, diagnosis and treatment of periodontal disease. They can help you by teaching you proper brushing and flossing, periodically cleaning your teeth, recommending antibacterial mouth rinses or toothpastes, providing conservative non-surgical treatment with lasers, prescribing antibiotics when appropriate and straightening crooked teeth to make it easier to achieve adequate plaque removal.
For a Faster, Safer, Better dental experience, call Dr. John Gernetzke and his team today!
Although Dr. John Gernetzke and our staff routinely encourage our patients to brush their teeth after eating, the one time you don't want to do that, at least not immediately, is after eating cheese.
It's common knowledge that you should get your teeth cleaned every six months. But do you know why that timing is crucial? Studies have shown that your oral health connects directly to the rest of your body. Over time, an unhealthy mouth can cause trouble in other parts of your general system.
Undergoing a regular cleaning every six months at our Evansville, WI office is vital. During your dental checkups, we remove plaque that collects on your teeth and around your gums. If the plaque gets left in place for an extended period, inflammation can develop and may lead to painful gum diseases such as gingivitis and periodontal disease.
According to the American Academy of Periodontology, periodontal disease has been linked to increased risk for health conditions such as heart disease, stroke, diabetes, inflammation, and osteoporosis. Bacteria from your mouth can spread throughout the rest of your body. So a healthy mouth leads to a healthy body.
Regular checkups can prevent issues from arising in your mouth if problems are caught early by Dr. John Gernetzke. If you have been avoiding the dentist, you could be making issues worse for yourself in the long haul. Generally, a dentist will go over a few routine matters during your checkup. They might include taking X-rays, checking for gum disease and tooth decay, examining your bite, inspecting your head and neck for swelling, and of course performing a thorough cleaning of your teeth and gums to remove built-up plaque and tartar. All of these routine practices are worthwhile when it comes to keeping your oral health in top shape.
Now that you know the importance of getting your teeth checked every six months, you should be sure to schedule your next appointment with The Grove Family Dental & TMJ Clinic at our Evansville, WI location. Keeping your mouth healthy will prevent any form of bacteria from spreading to the rest of your body. If you have any questions or concerns regarding your oral health, don't hesitate to call and our staff will be happy to assist you.

Duo of Super League stars suspended
Two Super League stars have received suspensions from tonight's (Tuesday) disciplinary hearing at the RFL, after incidents in last Saturday's Catalan Dragons v St Helens clash.
Both Eloi Pelissier and Alex Walmsley have picked up one match bans after being hit with the same charge – a Grade B striking offence. That means they are to miss their side's next game, with Walmsley absent for the Saints' huge clash against Castleford Tigers.
Similarly, Pelissier will miss the Dragons' game against Hull FC in the South of France – a game that has huge ramifications in the race for the top eight in 2014.
Saints hooker James Roby was also fined £300 by the independent tribunal, after being found guilty of a Grade B dangerous contact charge.

The Charles & Ruth Project
Charles Henri Ford & Indra Tamang, 1997, by Arthur Tress
A Legacy of Blues, View, and Theatre
Charles Henri Ford is considered the father of American Surrealism, and his magazine View was the main forum in the United States for the Surrealist movement of the 1940s. Before that, the little magazine he began work on in 1928 at the age of twenty, Blues: A Magazine of New Rhythms, was groundbreaking, paving the way for View. In addition to his own prolific output as an artist, poet, and filmmaker, Charles remained a highly influential figure among artists of all kinds for his entire life. His sister, the actress and writer Ruth Ford, worked with William Faulkner on the play Requiem for a Nun, made numerous films, and was legendary for the salons she hosted in her large, art-filled apartment in the Dakota.
Indra Tamang collaborated on art projects with Charles Henri Ford for decades and cared for Ruth during the last years of her life at the Dakota. Having inherited the rights to the work of both siblings, he is at once copyright holder and meticulous steward of their significant cultural contributions.
The Charles and Ruth Project was initiated by Mr. Tamang to further their legacies and those of their many friends, who together form a remarkable international chain of luminaries from the world of 20th Century Arts & Letters. This site is run by Indra and his assistant with the Charles & Ruth Project, Romy Ashby. Anyone with questions or comments is warmly invited to send an email.

Q: ServiceStack OrmLite How can I achieve automatic setting of foreign key/related properties? I have created the following example to test Foreign Keys and up to this point, it works well. What I would like to be able to do, is use this framework that I built to set the property of the relationship and have it Save the child object when the Parent is saved and automatically set the PrimaryKey and Foreign Key.
The DataManager class exposes the Connection
 public class DataManager
{

    DataManager()
    {
        OrmLiteConfig.DialectProvider = SqliteDialect.Provider;
        ConnectionString = SqliteFileDb;
        updateTables();
    }

    private void updateTables()
    {
        using (var dbConn = OpenDbConnection())
        {
            dbConn.DropAndCreateTable<Person>();
            dbConn.DropAndCreateTable<PhoneNumber>();
        }
    }
    public static string SqliteFileDb = "~/App_Data/db.sqlite".MapAbsolutePath();
    private static DataManager manager;
    public static DataManager Manager {

        get
        {
            if (manager == null)
                manager = new DataManager();
            return manager;
        }
    }
    public IDbConnection InMemoryDbConnection { get; set; }
    public IDbConnection OpenDbConnection(string connString = null)
    {
        connString = ConnectionString;
        return connString.OpenDbConnection();
    }
    protected virtual string ConnectionString { get; set; }
    protected virtual string GetFileConnectionString()
    {
        var connectionString = SqliteFileDb;
        return connectionString;
    }
}

These are my POCO's with the BaseClass used to Achieve my results:
    public class Person : LiteBase
{
    [AutoIncrement]
    [PrimaryKey]
    public int Id { get; set; }

    public string Name { get; set; }
    public string Surname { get; set; }
    private List<PhoneNumber> numbers;
    public List<PhoneNumber> PhoneNumbers {
        get
        {
            if (numbers == null)
                numbers = GetList<PhoneNumber>(p => p.Person == Id);
            return numbers;
        }
    }

}

public class PhoneNumber
{
    public string Number { get; set; }
    public string Description { get; set; }

    [AutoIncrement]
    [PrimaryKey]
    public int Id { get; set; }

    [References(typeof (Person))]
    public int Person { get; set; }

    public void AddPerson(Person person)
    {
        Person = person.Id;
    }
}

public class LiteBase:INotifyPropertyChanged
{
    public List<T> GetList<T>(Expression< Func<T,bool>> thefunction) where T : new()
    {
        var objects = new List<T>();
        using (var conn = Data.DataManager.Manager.OpenDbConnection())
        {
            objects = conn.Where<T>(thefunction);
        }
        return objects;
    }

    public T GetItem<T>(Expression<Func<T, bool>> thefunction) where T : new()
    {
        T obj = new T();
        using (var conn = Data.DataManager.Manager.OpenDbConnection())
        {
            obj = conn.Where<T>(thefunction).FirstOrDefault<T>();
        }
        return obj;
    }

    public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;

    [NotifyPropertyChangedInvocator]
    protected virtual void OnPropertyChanged(string propertyName)
    {
        PropertyChangedEventHandler handler = PropertyChanged;
        if (handler != null)
            handler(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs(propertyName));
    }
}

Simple Class to Create Person and PhoneNumber objects
 public class PersonManager
    {

        public void CreatePerson(string name, string surname, string number)
        {
            using (var conn = DataManager.Manager.OpenDbConnection())
            {
                var pnum = new PhoneNumber { Number = number };
                var person = new Person
                    {
                        Name=name,
                        Surname = surname,

                    };
                conn.Save<Person>(person);
                var id = conn.GetLastInsertId();
                person.Id = (int)id;
                pnum.AddPerson(person);
                conn.Save<PhoneNumber>(pnum);

            }
        }

        public List<Person> GetPeople()
        {
            List<Person> people;
            using (var conn = DataManager.Manager.OpenDbConnection())
            {
                people = conn.Select<Person>();
            }
            return people;
        }

        public List<PhoneNumber> GetNumbers()
        {
            List<PhoneNumber> numbers;
            using (var conn = DataManager.Manager.OpenDbConnection())
            {
                numbers = conn.Select<PhoneNumber>();
            }
            return numbers;
        }
    }

And here is the usage:
var manager = new PersonManager();
        manager.CreatePerson("John", "Doe", "12345679");
        manager.CreatePerson("Jack", "Smith", "12345679");
        manager.CreatePerson("Peter", "Jones", "12345679");
        manager.CreatePerson("Dan", "Hardy", "12345679");
        var people = manager.GetPeople();
        var numbers = manager.GetNumbers();
        for (int i = 0; i < people.Count; i++)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("{0} {1} {2}",
                people[i].Name,people[i].Surname,people[i].Id);
        }
        for (int n = 0; n < numbers.Count; n++)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("PN: {0} {1}",
                numbers[n].Number,numbers[n].Person);
        }
        for (int p = 0; p < people.Count; p++)
        {
            var person = people[p];
            Console.WriteLine("{0}: {1} {2} {3}",
                person.Id,person.Name,person.Surname,person.GetItem<PhoneNumber>(x=>x.Person==person.Id).Number);
        }

The output is as I expected :

John Doe 1
Jack Smith 2
Peter Jones 3
Dan Hardy 4
PN: 12345679 1
PN: 12345679 2
PN: 12345679 3
PN: 12345679 4
1: John Doe 12345679
2: Jack Smith 12345679
3: Peter Jones 12345679
4: Dan Hardy 12345679

What I really would like to be able to do is the following:
var john = new Person
                {
                    Name = "John",
                    Surname = "Smith",
                    PhoneNumber = new PhoneNumber { Number = "123456789" }
                };
                conn.Save<Person>(john);
                var number = john.PhoneNumber.Number

Is this at all possible?

A: By default OrmLite v3 blobs all complex types properties in a string field and you need to explicitly set all references.
In the next major v4 release (ETA late Nov 2013), OrmLite adds some support for external references with the [Reference] attribute, which lets you tell OrmLite these properties should be stored in an external table and not blobbed, e.g:
public class Customer
{
    [AutoIncrement]
    public int Id { get; set; }
    public string Name { get; set; }

    [Reference]
    public CustomerAddress PrimaryAddress { get; set; }

    [Reference]
    public List<Order> Orders { get; set; }
}

This will allow you to call db.SaveReferences() to save the reference properties, e.g:
var customer = new Customer
{
    Name = "Customer 1",
    PrimaryAddress = new CustomerAddress {
        AddressLine1 = "1 Humpty Street",
        City = "Humpty Doo",
        State = "Northern Territory",
        Country = "Australia"
    },
    Orders = new[] {
        new Order { LineItem = "Line 1", Qty = 1, Cost = 1.99m },
        new Order { LineItem = "Line 2", Qty = 2, Cost = 2.99m },
    }.ToList(),
};

Assert.That(customer.Id, Is.EqualTo(0)); //Id is not saved yet

//Inserts customer, populates auto-incrementing customer.Id
//Specify `references:true` to populate the ForeignKey ids and
//save the related rows as well, e.g:
db.Save(customer, references:true);

Assert.That(customer.Id, Is.GreaterThan(0));
Assert.That(customer.PrimaryAddress.CustomerId, Is.EqualTo(customer.Id));
Assert.That(customer.Orders.All(x => x.CustomerId == customer.Id));

Saving References manually
For more fine-grained control you can also choose which references you want to save, e.g:
db.Save(customer);  //Doesn't save related rows

//1:1 PrimaryAddress Reference not saved yet
Assert.That(customer.PrimaryAddress.CustomerId, Is.EqualTo(0));

//1:1 PrimaryAddress Reference saved and ForeignKey id populated
db.SaveReferences(customer, customer.PrimaryAddress);

//1:Many Orders References saved and ForeignKey ids populated
db.SaveReferences(customer, customer.Orders);

Loading all related rows with the entity
You can then load the master row and all its references with db.LoadSingleById, e.g:
var dbCustomer = db.LoadSingleById<Customer>(customer.Id);

dbCustomer.PrintDump();

Assert.That(dbCustomer.PrimaryAddress, Is.Not.Null);
Assert.That(dbCustomer.Orders.Count, Is.EqualTo(2));

NYU Langone Medical Center's 2017 FACES Gala Raises $4.7 Million to Support Epilepsy Research, Education & Care
David Remnick, Editor of The New Yorker, Serves as the Event's Emcee
On the evening of March 6, 2017, more than 700 guests attended NYU Langone Medical Center's annual Finding A Cure for Epilepsy and Seizures (FACES) Gala, held at Pier Sixty at Manhattan's Chelsea Piers. Nearly $5 million was raised at the event to support epilepsy research and the advancement of new therapies at NYU Langone. Hosting the event was David Remnick, editor of The New Yorker, who served as the evening's emcee.
Donna Emma and Lawrence Davis chaired this year's gala in recognition of Orrin Devinsky, MD, professor of neurology, neurosurgery, and psychiatry, founder of FACES, and director of NYU Langone's Comprehensive Epilepsy Center.
"The FACES Gala is the world's largest fundraiser to advance epilepsy research and care," said Dr. Devinsky. "The funds raised have supported an unprecedented number of basic and clinical science collaborations that have contributed to the discovery of new epilepsy genes and new epilepsy therapies." He thanked all in attendance, noting that since 1995 FACES has supported hundreds of research initiatives that have led to important changes in the field.
Proceeds from FACES events are used to support several patient and educational programs, as well as a diverse range of research projects including new drug development, the genetics of epilepsy, sudden unexplained death in epilepsy, and many more.
Also of note was the annual live auction conducted by C. Hugh Hildesley, vice chairman at Sotheby's America. Popular prizes included a 7-night stay for 2 in Italy, tickets to the 2017 Billboard Music Awards, an exclusive 20-course, in-home dinner with famed chef Daisuke Nakazawa, and tickets to the 2017 Grammy Awards.
Majid Jafar, CEO of Crescent Petroleum, and his wife, Lynn Jafar, were honored for their research efforts towards finding a cure for a rare genetic disorder called CDKL5, as well as better treatments for children who have epileptic seizures and other chronic conditions. As co-founders of the Loulou Foundation, they have supported the important research of over 60 scientists at leading universities in the United States and Europe, with a total of 14 separate projects in 25 labs at 20 different institutions to date.
Special guests in attendance included Ellen Block, Susie Block Casdin, Katie and Todd Boehly, Ulrika and Joel Citron, auction co-chairs Melissa and Josh Fluhr, Loretta Glucksman, Trudy Elbaum Gottesman and Bob Gottesman, Jackie Harris, Bill Lambert, Sukey and Michael Novogratz, Colleen Olson, Kate Picco, Angela and Matt Stone, and FACES Gala underwriters Leah and Michael Weisberg.

Pittsburgh Police Officer Says Colleague Sexually Assaulted Her In Her Home
By Andy Sheehan December 31, 2021 at 3:22 pm
Filed Under:Allegheny County Police, Ed Gainey, Office of Municipal Investigations, Officer Accused Of Sexual Assault, Pittsburgh Police, Pittsburgh Police Department, PPD, Sex Assault, Wendell Hissrich
PITTSBURGH (KDKA) – A Pittsburgh police officer has alleged in an email that another officer sexually assaulted her at her home.
In a copy of the email sent to the department and reviewed Friday by KDKA-TV, the officer said she was sexually assaulted at her home in June. She said she and the officer were drinking at a cookout and then went to a bar, though her memories of the alleged incident are unclear and fragmented.
The alleged victim reported the officer and the incident to criminal authorities, and to the city's Office of Municipal Investigations. She said Public Safety Director Wendell Hissrich suspended the officer for two days, overriding more serious discipline from the OMI.
A spokesperson for the Department of Public Safety issued the following statement to KDKA-TV on Friday afternoon:
"The Department of Public Safety is aware of an internal email that is circulating within the Pittsburgh Bureau of Police. The allegations that have been leveled are of a serious and criminal nature. The information contained within is being reviewed."
A spokesman for Allegheny County District Attorney Stephen Zappala also provided a statement to KDKA-TV:
"Crimes against women are some of the most difficult situations that our community faces far too often. Believing something happened and proving it criminally are two entirely different circumstances. We are fortunate in confronting these issues to have some of the most forward thinking and impactful victim services agencies anywhere in the country and we will continue to respond with diligence to all matters involving the physical and / or sexual assault of women."
KDKA-TV has learned that Allegheny County police is investigating the alleged incident.
Just Thursday, it was announced that incoming Mayor Ed Gainey will not retain Hissrich as public safety director.

Mary and I went with Zaffre to DOTY this past weekend.
We enjoyed the day catching up with friends of long-standing, and meeting other friends who had disappeared from the scene some time ago. So it was a very good day at a show – a very special show for Tolutim because there were three Tolutim dalmatians there on the day.
Tolutim Zaffre met an Irish Champion in the first round and bowed out.
Tolutim Yves St Laurent at Judally also got knocked out in the first round.

Rogue Chinese space station expected to hurtle toward Earth in 2018, researchers say
By Elizabeth Zwirz, | Fox News
Rogue spacecraft expected to re-enter earth's atmosphere
A Chinese space station lost contact with Tiangong-1, a craft that is expected to re-enter the earth's atmosphere sometime in the beginning of 2018. Some are concerned debris may hit populated areas.
The new year could bring a major scare: the expected crash of an 18,740-pound Chinese space station headed toward Planet Earth.
And researchers haven't been able to pinpoint exactly when and where this event will likely happen.
Tiangong-1, a Chinese space station that launched into Earth's orbit in September 2011, was predicted in essence to fall out of space around January 2018, according to an October forecast by researchers at The Aerospace Corporation.
RUNAWAY CHINESE SPACE STATION IS GOING TO BE MONITORED BY AN INTERNATIONAL CAMPAIGN
Chinese space officials announced in 2016 that they had lost contact with the spacecraft and expected it to crash back to Earth between late-2017 and mid-2018, The Guardian reported.
Researchers have since determined that the space station is expected to re-enter somewhere in the area between 43 degrees north and 43 degrees south latitude. And while that location is in the middle of the ocean, the New York Post reported, it's possible that fragments will land in nearby populated areas.
The space station's name means "Heavenly Palace."
The system is said to be making a slow roll back into the atmosphere, allowing some chunks of matter to avoid burning up upon re-entry. But according to the Aerospace Corporation's FAQ page, getting hit with space garbage is unlikely to be the biggest problem.
FEARS OF CATASTROPHE AS RUNAWAY CHINESE SPACE STATION HURTLES TOWARD EARTH
"It is highly unlikely that debris from this re-entry will strike any person or significantly damage any property," the Aerospace Corporation's FAQ said. "Potentially, there may be a highly toxic and corrosive substance called hydrazine on board the spacecraft that could survive re-entry. For your safety, do not touch any debris you may find on the ground nor inhale vapors it may emit."
The space station was utilized six times in manned and unmanned missions for China's space research program.

Breezes is located on Cable Beach in Nassau, and calls themselves super-inclusive. This means that not only are all food and drink items at their four restaurants and four bars are covered, but no tipping is allowed. Land activities include beach volleyball, rock climbing, and tennis, and water activities include windsurfing, sailing, and kayaks. They love to host special events, and offer packages for weddings and babymoons (for pregnant couples before birth). Ages 14 and over are welcome.
This hotel is also in the heart of Nassau on Cable beach, but unlike Breezes, it is family friendly. They offer the option of family rooms, and have events planners who give daily activity options for the kids, leaving the adults free to enjoy some of the other activities. Golf at the Cable beach golf club is not included, but it is within walking distance. The pools are lovely and feature waterfalls for the family to play in. There are daily excursions offered for adults, a twenty-four hour fitness center, and a nightly entertainment program featuring music, comedy, and more.
Unlike many all-inclusive resorts in the Bahamas which are situated in an area that is separate from other places, the RIU is located on Paradise island, walking distance to the famous Atlantis Hotel. Because it opens its doors to non-guests, guests will have bracelets to take advantage of the all inclusive amenities, such as spa, salon, and themed restaurants with a number of different global cuisines. The stay includes fishing, swimming with dolphins, excursions, and water parks. Also included are access to the restaurant's pools, nightclubs, and more. If you want a place close to Nassau, you are only a car ride away when you stay at the Riu. Paradise island is separated from Nassau by a bridge.
Sandals has made a name for themselves by creating a line of couples-only resorts. For people who prefer to vacation without children or the pressure of matchmaking singles, this is a great way to go. (The couple doesn't need to be romantic- pairs of friends are equally welcomed). The Royal Bahamian adds to this secluded utopia by existing on its own private island, known as Sandals Island. Transportation to and from is by boat, and the resort boasts several buffets, a full-service spa, a swimming pool-centered beach club with a float-up bar, beach activities, and a nightclub.
This is a private island resort that is located in the Andros Island archipelago. The island resort was created by a pair of colonial Jamaicans who left during the uprising in the 1970's. The resort has a main house and a number of guest residences. For those who tire of laying on the white sand on their own private island, the resort has a number of adventures to offer. It features a spa, marina, a number of adventure-based excursions, diving and bonefishing.
For those who want to go beyond Grand Bahama Island, there are a number of other lovely islands along the chain. Situated on Great Exuma island is Sandals Emerald Bay, this all-inclusive resort has stunning features like a half-acre zero entry pool with a fire pit in the middle. Other features include unlimited land sports and scuba diving, three pools, one swim-up bar, 6 fine dining restaurants, a championship golf course and even a butler service for high-end suites.
Club Med is a great choice for family vacations. They welcome anyone over the age of two, and have a great all-inclusive package that is free for kids under four, and discounted for children under twelve. The package includes airfare to and from Fort Lauderdale, At the resort, guests can enjoy a spa and wellness center that includes a beach palazza, seven restaurants and/or bars, pools, and a number of planned and customized local excursions. Scuba divers will feel right at home at Club Med Columbus Isle. Because of its Atlantic coast location in the San Salvador archipelago, there is an abundance of coral and underwater life, not to mention clear visibility and warm waters.
For those who love the idea of an all-inclusive resort's amenities without the feeling of being in a hotel room, Small Hope Bay is a great choice. Instead of rooms, this resort offers all beachfront cabins. Located on Andros Island, one of the least developed islands in the Bahamas, this is a gem for nature lovers. Andros is technically a series of islands connected by bridges, but often considered a single entity. As a unit, it is the largest inhabited Bahamian island. Small Hope Bay is a chance to see the most biodiversity anywhere in the Bahamas, and they give guided nature tours as part of their activities. The resort prides themselves on including absolutely everything they offer, and often brags that no one needs to bring their wallet. This even includes options like bonefishing and scuba diving.

Do Wah Doo
Kate Nash jets across Atlantic for North American tour
Clare NashUpdates from the recording sessions for Kate Nash's follow-up to 2007's Made Of Bricks were few and far-between, but what did come out – that she was working with Bernard Butler, as famed for his stint as guitarist in Suede as his production work and that boyfriend Ryan Jarman from Brit-rockers The Cribs was hanging around – seemed to imply that her bubbly piano anthems might be taking on a harder edge on the sophomore effort. A theory borne out by the first released MP3 from the album, initially entitled Crayon Full Of Color but since changed to My Best Friend Is You and out on April 20 either way – "I Just Love You More" sounded like a not especially successful attempt at punk rock and certainly not playing to Nash's strengths – clever wordplay and keen, observational songwriting that's as humorous as it is pointed.
The first proper single, however, does sound like vintage Kate Nash. "Do Wah Doo", for which a fun dancing stewardess-themed video has just been released, is very much in line with the best of Bricks, just gussied up with Butler's signature retro-slick production. In fact it might be a little too similar to those who'd like to see some more growth from album one to two, but if "Do Wah Doo" represents one end of the stylistic spectrum covered on the new record and "I Just Love You More" the other, then My Best Friend Is You should be a fun and interesting listen.
Nash was already announced as one of the artists taking part in this year's Lilith Fair revival, but this piece in Rolling Stone shows she's not waiting for Sarah McLachlan's say-so to bring her new record to North America. Less than a week after the record's release, Nash is embarking on a small club tour across the continent, starting on April 26 in Toronto at the Mod Club – tickets $22.50. I missed both of Nash's previous local shows back in 2008, so I'm pretty excited about the opportunity to finally see her live, and in cozy environs no less. And hopefully it will go better than her recent Glasgow show.
The Daily Record and Contact Music have interviews with Nash.

Spinner talks to Frightened Rabbit, whose Winter Of Mixed Drinks finally began this week. They are at the Opera House on May 4.
Fanfarlo chats with Spinner and The Daily Texan. They're in town with a show at Lee's Palace on April 9, and Clash reports the band are planning to give away a free live EP in conjunction with this (or some other upcoming) tour.
This Spinner interview with The xx strays from the script a little bit. They're at the Phoenix on April 4 and the Kool Haus on April 20.
Let's Wrestle grapples with some questions from Spinner. They're at the Horseshoe on April 18.
NYC Taper is sharing a recording of a recent show from We Were Promised Jetpacks and oh yeah, there's one of those Spinner interviews too.

The Tripwire has a feature piece on The Big Pink. They play The Mod Club on March 24.
JAM and The Montreal Gazette interview Muse.
The High Wire, heartily endorsed late last year, have made the title track of their new album The Sleep Tape available to download. It starts out small, but quickly becomes a pretty compelling argument for this as one of the best dream-pop records of the year. Which, as of this moment, it is.
MP3: The High Wire – "The Sleep Tape"
Exclaim reports that Belle & Sebastian are off hiatus and headed back into the studio to record album number eight. EIGHT. Goodness.
Daytrotter has a session with Ian McCulloch of Echo & The Bunnymen. They are at The Phoenix on April 23.

Ever since their development in 1960, lasers have been used in thousands of applications within science, medicine and industry. It would be hard to come across a modern electronic device that didn't use lasers either in its manufacturing or as a direct component. For example, laser-enabled micro material processing is used to make screens for smartphones, tablets and TVs, while optical computer mice use lasers and photodiodes to detect movement on a surface. In this month's feature, we take a look at how lasers are used for alignment in various industries.
For most factory-based manufacturing facilities, laser-enabled alignment is found to be the best tool for shaft, pump, motor and pulley alignments. The usage of lasers reduces operating costs, lowers power consumption and maximizes life expectancy of bearings, seals etc. as it reduces the time taken to achieve accurate positioning, and lessens unexpected machine downtimes occurring due to misalignment. Lasers may be adapted to be used for many similar applications, like machining center alignment, ensuring the flatness of a surface, laser leveling and injection molding machine alignment.
Lasers are also used as guide-lights for positioning work pieces, equipment and tools. Laser mounted on saws can project a straight line on wood that allows precise sawing and cutting operations like board sorting, edging and planer infeed. Metal industry applications include fast and precise alignment for large work pieces like steel and aluminum plates. At a low power level, lasers may also be mounted on fabric and leather cutting devices for projecting cut-lines.
Building and maintenance of jigs and fixtures is easily accomplished by means of laser mounted trackers. This allows precise alignment of critical parts like holes, edges and pins. Laser light may also be used for projecting a shape and determining positions of different components in the absence of a physical jig or fixture. Lasers can be used for safety in crane and forklift applications, when a heavy structure must be moved precisely to a given spot. A laser beam-break can be detected by a sensor which can sound an alarm to warn the operator. A similar application for beam-break detection is to indicate security breaches in vaults and museums, and simple line projections (without alarm) can be used as warning indicators for hazardous areas. Finally, a big application is the use of line lasers as OEM components in various camera vision systems for surface profiling.
Laserglow Technologies offers a wide variety of alignment lasers that are used for these, and many similar industrial applications. To learn more, watch our demo video or see the detailed product listings
Reconstructing 3D Holographic Scenes in a One-Step Process
A joint study conducted by researchers at University of Antioquia (Colombia) and CONICET (Argentina) demonstrates how a complete 3D scene can be reconstructed in a single step using a simple protocol. This method overcomes the limitations imposed by optical setups where illuminating an entire scene is not possible- either due to the collective size of objects, or due to the different optical requirements for various surfaces. Laserglow's 532nm DPSS laser was used as a light source.
The basic principle behind this method is being able to register individual holograms of various objects and applying a spatial filtering technique to create a compound Fresnel hologram. This new hologram allows simultaneous reconstruction of all the objects in one step using the same recovery procedure, setup and calculations that were used to create a single hologram.
Digital holography is a well-known tool for experimental optical data processing. By using this tool, it is possible to record and process information of both 2D and 3D objects which can then be remotely reconstructed using an optical system. In the context of digital holography, multiplexing means adding several bits of processed information to create a more compact information carrying unit. Multiplexing is found to be the best option when multiple 3D objects and images are taken into account.
The researchers applied the concept of hologram multiplexing to get a single digital hologram containing the entire scene. When propagated at an adequate distance, the reconstruction quality was found to be much better than previous methods.

World's First White Laser Invented - And What it means for Lighting & Internet
Researchers at the Arizona State University have demonstrated the world's first white laser which could become a mainstream light source and potential replacement to LEDs. It's also possible that white lasers can be modified to provide both same-room illumination and wireless communication. The technology, termed Li-Fi, is currently under development and is 10 times faster than Wi-Fi. With white lasers however, the speed of Li-Fi could be 10 to 100 times faster than existing LED-based Li-Fi.
So far, creating a white laser has been extremely difficult because white light is produced through a combination of different wavelengths in the visible spectrum. The researchers have now proven that semiconductor lasers are capable of emitting over the full visible color spectrum, thereby creating a sharp beam of white light. They created a nano-scale device with three parallel segments, each supporting laser action in one of three primary colors - red, blue and green. When the total field is collected, a white color emerges.
Semiconductors are used in the making of LEDs and lasers because they can emit light of a particular color when a voltage is applied to them. The color produced is dependent on their atomic properties. When the atomic properties are too different from each other, it becomes difficult to combine semiconductors into a single structure to produce white light. The team used nanotechnology to solve this problem.
Over a period of years, the researchers have been able to grow single units of semiconductor materials with a wide range of atomic properties that allows color-tunable lasing on a single substrate. Now with a combination of right alloy contents, they've been able to create a semiconductor capable of producing white light. To learn more, go to: Phys.org full article
The research was first submitted by Arizona State University to Nature Publications, and published in the journal 'Nature Nanotechnology' DOI: 10.1038/nnano.2015.149


This is really two TradeStation systems in one, creating a system that is both a trend and a mean-reversion model. One part uses a handful of indicators that tells us when the bulls got the bear on the run, & puts the pedal to the metal when they do. This has its roots in Market Profile, where bears think that higher prices are a "better value" to be getting short, when in reality, what they are failing to realize, is that the higher prices are actually bringing in MORE buyers, not shutting them off. The other part of the system which also hails from the Market Profile playbook hunts for big "Buying Tails" in which the market leaves behind a clear reference point that prices have become unfairly to low in the day time frame. There are a lot of things to like about this system....it has a profit factor of almost 2, it has won 52% of the time, the average winner is almost twice as big as the average loser, the max draw-down is relatively small, and it's has yet to have a losing year since 1999. For the testing, all trades have a $20 slippage and commission deduction per trade, this model only takes long trades, only trades 1 contract per trade and never more, and closes out every position by the end of the trading day.


If you know them, you love them. Make Way For Ducklings are a fictional bird family that inspired the title of Robert McCloskey's classic children's book. The ducklings and their Mama shut down the city of Boston with their stubbornness, proving they can walk- or waddle- anywhere they want. (Now THOSE are some city peeps!) The bronze statues are a top attraction in the Public Gardens, and tourists and locals visit year round. Occasionally, they are anonymously decorated with santa caps, red sox shirts or other fun treats. It's an adorable mystery! Lately they've been fully glamorized with spring bonnets. Cuz why the heck not?!
I learned a lot during my winter week in LA and tried to incorporate some of the feedback I received into this tune. It's more laid back and acoustic with the vocals up front. Maybe I'm on to something, or maybe I've got Bird Brain. Let me know what you think! Again, cuz why the heck not?!

Q: Xcode 9 code completion not working for @interface @implemetation When I input @interface or @implemetation, there is no code completion. Others' code completion work fine. Is that function removed or it is a bug?

A: I've found the answer is that input interface or implemetation without @, search the list of auto completion and select "Objective-C Class Interface/Implemetation" and that is it.
If you don't see that one in the list, just page down until you find it that start with a {} icon. If you've used it once, it'll be at the first place in the auto completion list next time.

Q: Why I get this skipping when I work with record 'struct' in pascal?
when I give him the number of item he skip the input of reference and designation and go directly to input of price as shown in the picture

A: First, your image of the ouput doesn't comply with your code. The code until ((n>=3)... doesn't accept a "1" for entry, as your image suggests. Maybe you have changed the code after you made the image.
Secondly, the reason for the program to run through all requests for user input is due to your usage of read() instead of readln().
Read() reads all characters from the input buffer up to, but not including the CRLF produced by the Enter key. Read() leaves the CRLF characters in the buffer.
ReadLn() reads all characters from the buffer, including the CRLF characters.
When you call Read() after a previous call to Read(), the buffer still has the CRLF characters from the previous data entry, and there is no reason for the code to wait for those characters, so it just rumbles on with next line(s).
Therefore, use ReadLn() instead of Read() when you read user entries.

Interview: Kid Koala
alexleung
.	 Published on February 7, 2015. February 7, 2015 0
DJ / turntablist / musician / artist Kid Koala is one of Canada's most renowned musicians. He first made his name as an impressive scratch DJ who amazed listeners with his unique scratch style and interesting use of samples (including things such as Charlie Brown's voice, Cantonese Dim Sum conversations, etc.). Besides music, Kid Koala is also a passionate visual artist who enjoys drawing graphic arts novels and design work.
Kid Koala has worked, played, and toured with some of the biggest names in music, including Radiohead, Gorillaz, Bjork, Deltron 3030, Jack Johnson, and DJ Shadow. These days, when he's not making his own music or touring, he's playing on electronic music projects with Chris Ross, Myles Heskett (of Wolfmother fame), and American musician Dynomite D as a part of The Slew. He also organizes special listenings for his album Space Cadet at special locations around the world that lend to the lullaby-style tracks found on the CD. We're glad he was able to find time in his busy schedule to chat with us and answer some questions!
Your Music beginnings come from Public Enemy, Coldcut, and De La Soul and you've DJ-ed and turntabled with the Gorillaz, Radiohead, and the Beastie Boys. Technology has changed, styles have changed… how do you feel the DJ culture or turntable culture has evolved?
Kid Koala: Music is music. It's a form of communication. The technologies can change but underneath it all the motivation stays the same. I think most people who make music are just trying to tell their stories and to find a way to express how they hear the world.
How does illustration feed into your music and vice-versa?
Kid Koala: Music and Visual art are very linked to me. Whenever I draw I hear soundtracks in my mind. Whenever I record music I usually envision some form of narrative scene that I'm writing the music for.
Blues and Jazz is at the forefront of your album 12-bit blues, but you did study classical piano as a kid. Do you ever plan to do a classical piano album?
Kid Koala: Yes, both soundtracks for Nufonia Must Fall and Space Cadet were composed on piano. Much of the film scoring work I'm doing these days is piano based.
The concept for your Space Cadet Headphone Concert is awesome, how did you come up with that?
Kid Koala: The Space Cadet album was recorded as a collection of lullabies for my then newborn daughter. I wanted to perform the music live but still maintain that quiet time lullaby feel. I decided the best way to hear all the detail in the music would be to have everyone sitting around listening to the performance on headphones. It's among the quietest and coziest shows I've done.
You're into all this older technology for musical equipment – I've heard you use floppy disks for musical purposes, and you recently collected recordings from the National Music Centre collection. What is your connection with older technology and is that enjoyment exclusive? Are there any new techniques, equipment that you enjoy?
Kid Koala: I use all technologies old and new. It all depends on what musical tool you need to get the feeling you need. They all have different tones and user interfaces and I think it greatly affects the music that you create. I write totally differently depending on what equipment I'm using.
You tour all over Europe, I know you've done some shows in Asia, and you're always back home in Canada and North America. Where are some of your favourite places to perform, or where do you get the best vibes from? Favourite concert moments?
Kid Koala: I like audiences that are up for adventure and there seems to be one in every city I've visited. I feel very lucky to have the opportunity to do such a wide variety of concerts and actually find an audience for them. In 4 tours we can go from playing sit down turntable cabaret gigs, lie down headphone concerts, to the jump up vinyl vaudeville puppet shows, to rocking out with mosh pit crowds at The Slew shows.
What can we expect to hear from you in the future?
Kid Koala: I worked on a little music for Baz Luhrman's The Great Gatsby film which is opening next month. I'm also working on a score for my new book about a jazz playing mosquito. Deltron 3030 will be releasing it's second album this year. And I have begun work on a new album for The Slew.

Кристиан Макбрайд (; род. 31 мая 1972 года) — американский джазовый басист, композитор и аранжировщик. Появился на более чем 300 записях в качестве сайдмена, а также является семикратным обладателем премии Грэмми.

Макбрайд выступал и записывался с рядом джазовых музыкантов и ансамблей, включая Фредди Хаббарда, Маккой Тайнера, Херби Хэнкока, Пэта Мэтини, Джо Хендерсона, Дайану Кролл, Роя Хэйнса, Чика Кориа, Уинтона Марсалиса, Эдди Палмьери, Джошуа Редмана, Рэя Брауна и Джона Клейтона в составе SuperBass; а также поп, хип-хоп, соул-музыкантами и исполнителями классической музыки: Стинг, Пол Маккартни, Селин Дион, Айзек Хейз, The Roots, Куин Латифа, Кэтлин Бэттл, Рене Флеминг, Карли Саймон, Брюс Хорнсби и Джеймс Браун.

Биография
Макбрайд родился в Филадельфии 31 мая 1972 года. Начинал играть на бас-гитаре, но позже перешел на контрабас. Учился в Джульярдской школе.
Макбрайд присоединился к группе саксофониста Бобби Уотсона в возрасте 17 лет. С 17 до 22 он играл в группах более взрослых музыкантов, таких как Уотсон, Фредди Хаббард, Бенни Голсон, Джордж Дюк, Милт Джексон, Джей Джей Джонсон и Хэнк Джонс, а также его сверстников Роя Харгроува, Бенни Грина и Джошуа Редмана. В 1996 году джазовый басист Рэй Браун вместе с Макбрайдом и его протеже Джоном Клейтоном сформировали группу под названием SuperBass. Группа выпустила два альбома: SuperBass: Live at the Scullers (1997) и SuperBass 2: Live at the Blue Note (2001).

Макбрайд играл в составе квартета саксофониста Джошуа Редмана в начале 1990-х вместе с пианистом Брэдом Мелдау и барабанщиком Брайаном Блейдом. Макбрайд начал руководить собственными группами в 1995 году после выпуска дебютного альбома Gettin 'to It (Verve). Саксофонист Тим Варфилд, пианисты Чарльз Крейг и Джои Кальдераццо, а также барабанщики Карл Аллен и Грег Хатчинсон входят в число музыкантов, игравших в ранних составах Макбрайда. С 2000 по 2008 год Макбрайд руководил собственным ансамблем Christian McBride Band с саксофонистом Роном Блейком, пианистом Джеффри Кизером и барабанщиком Терреоном Галли. Группа выпустила два альбома: Vertical Vision (Warner Bros., 2003) и Live at Tonic (Ropeadope, 2006).

В 1996 году Макбрайд внес свой вклад в альбом в поддержку СПИДа Offbeat: A Red Hot Soundtrip, выпущенный Red Hot Organization.

Макбрайд в основном играет на контрабасе, но также он не менее искусен в игре на бас-гитаре. На ней он играл в обоих альбомах The Philadelphia Experiment, в записи которых также участвовали клавишник Ури Кейн и хип-хоп барабанщик Ахмир «Questlove» Томпсон. Другие проекты включали выступления и записи с трио Пэта Мэтини, трио Брюса Хорнсби и Куин Латифа. Как и Пол Чемберс, Макбрайд может солировать, играя в басовом стиле арко.

В 2006 году Макбрайд был назначен на должность креативного председателя джаза филармонии Лос-Анджелеса, заменив Дайану Ривз. С ним был подписан двухлетний контракт, который позже был продлен еще на два года. Его сменил Херби Хэнкок в 2010 году.

Макбрайд выступил с Сонни Роллинзом и Роем Хейнсом в Карнеги-холле 18 сентября 2007 года в ознаменование 50-летия первого выступления Роллинза там. Макбрайд также был выбран CBS в качестве продюсера трибьюта Роллинзу в передаче Премии Центра Кеннеди 2011 года.

В 2008 году Макбрайд присоединился к Джону Маклафлину, Чику Кориа, Кенни Гарретту и Винни Колаюте в фьюжн-супергруппе под названием Five Peace Band. Они выпустили альбом в феврале 2009 года и завершили мировое турне в мае того же года, когда Брайан Блейд заменил Винни Колайуту в Азии и на некоторых концертах в США. Альбом Five Peace Band Live получил премию Грэмми 2010 года за лучший джазовый инструментальный альбом.

В 2011 году Макбрайд выпустил свой первый альбом биг-бэнда The Good Feeling, за который получил премию Грэмми в номинации лучшее выступление большого джазового ансамбля.

Макбрайд возглавляет пять групп: Inside Straight, в состав которой входят альт и сопрано-саксофонист Стив Уилсон, вибрафонист Уоррен Вольф, пианист Питер Мартин и барабанщик Карл Аллен; трио с пианистом Кристианом Сэндсом и барабанщиком Джеромом Дженнингсом; его биг-бэнд из 18 человек; экспериментальная группа под названием A Christian McBride Situation с пианистом Патрисом Рашеном, тёрнтейблистами DJ Logic и Джахи Сандэнсом, саксофонистом Роном Блейком и вокалисткой Элисон Уильямс; и New Jawn с трубачом Джошем Эвансом, саксофонистом Маркусом Стриклендом и барабанщиком Нэшитом Уэйтсом.

В марте 2016 года Макбрайд был назначен художественным руководителем Ньюпортского джазового фестиваля, сменив основателя и художественного руководителя фестиваля Джорджа Вейна.

Макбрайд ведет радиошоу NPR «Jazz Night In America».

В 2018 году был выпущен альбом Christian McBride's New Jawn, записанный в составе квартета без фортепиано, при участии трубача Джоша Эванса, тенор-саксофониста Маркуса Стрикленда и барабанщика Нэшита Уэйтса. Год спустя был записан совместный лайв-альбом с Чиком Кориа и Брайаном Блейдом под названием Trilogy 2, который как и Christian McBride's New Jawn был удостоен премии Грэмми.

В феврале 2020 года Макбрайд выпустил свою работу для большого ансамбля The Movement Revisited: A Musical Portrait of Four Icon, посвященную жизни знаменитых лидеров защиты гражданских прав Мартина Лютера Кинга, Малкольма Икс, Розы Паркс и Мухаммеда Али. В сентябре того же года был выпущен альбом в составе биг-бэнда под названием For Jimmy, Wes and Oliver. Это дань уважения таким джазовым исполнителям как Джимми Смит, Уэс Монтгомери и Оливер Нельсон. Также Макбрайд присоединился к составу Джошуа Редмана в альбоме RoundAgain, где состоялось воссоединении квартета 90-х годов с пианистом Брэдом Мелдау и барабанщиком Брайаном Блейдом.

Личная жизнь
Кристиан женат на джазовой певице и педагоге Мелиссе Уокер. Уокер при участии Макбрайда возглавила Jazz House Kids, джазовую школу в их родном городе Монклер, штат Нью-Джерси. Каждое лето они оба выступают на джазовом фестивале в городе, вместе со студенческими коллективами под руководством кураторов, профессиональными коллективами, состоящими из преподавателей, и приглашенными артистами.

Макбрайд поделился историей своих первых встреч с Фредди Хаббардом в радио-шоу «The Gig» и своими отношениями с Джеймсом Брауном в подкасте «Mr. Soul On Top» на The Moth Radio Hour, которые посвящены рассказу историй.

Soccer Star Rapinoe Accepts Invitation To Visit Ocasio Cortez After Saying 'F**K' Trump
By Carmine Sabia at The Federalist Papers
United States Women's National Team soccer star Meagan Rapinoe is doing everything in her power to parlay her 10 minutes of fame into something bigger.
Rapinoe this week declined the invitation of President Donald Trump to visit the White House before he ever gave it.
Being the bigger man, the president decided to invite the team anyway, whether they win or are defeated in the World Cup.
But she has decided to accept one invitation, from New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to tour the House of Representatives.
"It may not be the White House, but we'd be happy to welcome @mPinoe & the entire #USWMNT for a tour of the House of Representatives anytime they'd like," Ocasio-Cortez said.
It may not be the White House, but we'd be happy to welcome @mPinoe & the entire #USWMNT for a tour of the House of Representatives anytime they'd like. 🇺🇸 https://t.co/ccgqE8vCds
— Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) June 28, 2019
"Consider it done, the controversial soccer star, who has protested the National Anthem, said in response on Twitter.
Consider it done @AOC 🥳
— Megan Rapinoe (@mPinoe) June 29, 2019
"Yes," an excited Ocasio-Cortez, who this week said immigrants who came via Ellis Island were undocumented and that citizenship is racist, said.
Yes! 🇺🇸⚽✨
Original Story.
The United States Women's Soccer team is currently on a tear in the World Cup tournament and is the odds on favorite to win.
But US soccer star Megan Rapinoe, who apparently assumes they have won, said in an interview that there is no f**king way she would go to the White House.
"Psssh, I'm not going to the f*****g White House," she told the show Eighty By Eight before the reporter could finish the question.
"No. I'm not going to the White House. We're not gonna be invited. I doubt it," she said in the interview, CNN reported on Wednesday.
"I'm not going to the fucking White House." – @mPinoe pic.twitter.com/sz1ADG2WdT
— Eight by Eight (@8by8mag) June 25, 2019
President Donald Trump heard the news and issued a statement of his own on Twitter that made the soccer star look extremely small.
"Women's soccer player, @mPinoe, just stated that she is 'not going to the F…ing White House if we win,'" he wrote.
"Other than the NBA, which now refuses to call owners, owners (please explain that I just got Criminal Justice Reform passed.
"Black unemployment is at the lowest level in our Country's history, and the poverty index is also best number EVER), leagues and teams love coming to the White House.
"I am a big fan of the American Team, and Women's Soccer, but Megan should WIN first before she TALKS! Finish the job!
"We haven't yet invited Megan or the team, but I am now inviting the TEAM, win or lose. Megan should never disrespect our Country, the White House, or our Flag, especially since so much has been done for her & the team.

A Multi-variable transmitter combines a differential pressure transmitter, a gauge pressure transmitter, a temperature transmitter, and a flow computer into one unit.
The flow computer is programmed with application information and uses the three measured inputs to calculate the Mass Flow.
Like the Volumetric Flow, Mass Flow accuracy is determined by the accuracy entire system. This accuracy not only includes the hardware, but also the accuracy of the process parameters used to program the flow computer.


The temperament of the Belgian Sheepdog is a direct reflection of its abilities. It is a very watchful and active dog, which was great for the duties it was used to perform; it guarded farms and herded animals. It is extremely alert and protective is necessary. /as a family pet, however, it can be extremely playful and loving. As long as it is getting attention and is given some type of active activity, it will be satisfied. When dealing with strangers, the Belgian Sheepdog tends to be a bit aloof and not phased. However, when dealing with other dogs and other animals, it can tend to be fairly aggressive and should be watched if it will be in the company of other animals. This breed is extremely smart but also has a yearn to be independent. It is trainable and once it is trained well, it listens to its owner. It actually becomes very protective of its owner and the family that it stays with.
The upkeep of a Belgian Sheepdog may take some effort, as it is a very active dog. It needs a hefty amount of exercise on a daily basis. This could be anything from a lengthy walk through your town, a hike through the woods, or for a nice long jog or run. The breed certainly needs room to run and space to live. This means that it is not recommended for apartment living. It can survive in the outdoors and colder climates, mainly due to its thick coat, but it really thrives when it lives indoors and is surrounded by people. The coat of this breed needs brushed at least 3 times weekly. When it is shedding, it needs to be brushed almost on a daily basis to remove the excess hair so that it does not matte up and cause the pooch any pain or discomfort.
Health concerns of the Belgian Sheepdog typically include more minor concerns. There really are any major concerns for this breed to be worried about. Minor concerns include seizures, skin disorders, allergies, and hypothyroidism. Chronic Hip Dysplasia, PRA, pannus, elbow Dysplasia, and hemangiosarcoma are also occasionally scene and should be monitored for any of these disorders. If you Belgian Sheepdog remains healthy, it can live to be approximately 10-12 years of age.
The Belgian Sheepdog, along with breeds as the Belgian Tervuren and the Belgian Malinois are all part of one breed known as the Belgian Shepherd. This is also known as the Continental Shepherd. The Belgian Sheepdog was a farm dog and held the duties of herding and guarding the animals. It, unlike the other two breeds mentioned, had a long black fur coat. These dogs came to be used as police dogs in the late 1800s and early 1900s. During World War I they even acted as messengers, sentry dogs, and even draft dogs. This helped out their popularity as they began to be noticed more often and soon became a household pet. Due to its charisma, looks, and abilities, it has won the affection of homes everywhere.


3º tempo hoje no treino livre. Tudo pronto para qualificação de amanhã, acho que temos boas hipóteses!
Tão bom ter esta equipa espantosa sempre a puxar por mim! Amanhã é dia de qualificação e eles merecem um bom resultado, vamos com tudo!!!
A fantastic 1-2-3 result in Friday testing with home hero Michelisz Norbertheading the session.
I will start on the second row (P3) in the first FIA WTCC tomorrow thanks to the reversed grid, will be exciting! The qualifying was ok, although I made a mistake on my fast lap. But P3 and P9 is an alright result and the car is working quite well.
So I was only 600s of a second off Pole position for the opening race of @FIA_WTCC for my 100th race. Frustrating.
My best FIA WTCC result so far! The track was REALLY slippery and we have almost no data on a wet track. With that in mind, I am very happy with P4 in the first race. Bring on Race 2, starting at 17:15 CET!
This is the inside story on Rob Huff vs Yvan Muller during the Main Race at theHungaroring, but a word of warning, things get pretty ugly pretty fast.
We had a really challenging weekend in Hungary! I'm not pleased with the second race, finishing P11, but I am happy in total with such difficult conditions and our lack of data in the wet. Bring on the next race!
LADA SPORT ROSNEFT took huge strides forward from the start of testing through to qualifying for the FIA World Touring Car Championship (WTCC) Race of Hungary at the scenic Hungaroring (23 April).
Testing on Friday (22 April) presented a number of challenges; LADA SPORT's setup was far from optimised and the team subsequently found itself outside of the TOP-5 places. However, the Russian team attacked the problem with a broad sweep of overnight setup changes, primarily based on feedback and insight from Italian touring car veteran Gabriele Tarquini.
The impact of the adjustments was profound and a feeling of surprise and delight was shared by all three LADA SPORT drivers – Tarquini, Nick Catsburg and Hugo Valente – following FP1 on Saturday morning, as the 30-minute session revealed that the Vesta TC1 had been transformed back into a real contender.
Drivers enjoyed the extra speed afforded by the Hungaroring's freshly laid asphalt. Several times were deleted as competitors repeatedly tested track limits, but Tarquini successfully propelled himself to the top of the timing screens with a best time of 1m47.929s, and an even quicker lap of 1m47.559s was good enough for P2 at the end of the second free practice session.
There was still a lot for Tarquini, Catsburg and Valente to learn about the car at the Hungaroring, but confidence continued to grow as it became clear that the ever-improving Vesta had more to give.
An intoxicating party atmosphere descended upon the picturesque Hungarian circuit, loud chants reverberating from the packed grandstands during the build-up to the all-important qualifying session, and there was hope that the celebrations would carry over into the LADA SPORT pit garages at the end of the day.
In Q1, Tarquini shot up to P2 with a last-ditch 1m46.633s and Catsburg strung together purple and personal best sectors to go seventh fastest, with Frenchman Hugo Valente narrowly missing out on a place in the second part of qualifying in 13th.
Two LADA Vestas graduated to Q2, but, unfortunately, cooling ambient temperatures had a negative effect on the cars' performance and they would go no further in the session, Catsburg leading the charge in seventh and Tarquini unable to replicate his earlier pace in 12th.
Rounds 5 and 6 of the 2016 FIA World Touring Car Championship (WTCC) at the Hungaroring will be held at 14.15 and 17.15 CET respectively, and both races will be broadcast live on Eurosport.
Another sensational podium finish for Nick Catsburg was the highlight of a mixed day in the FIA World Touring Car Championship (WTCC) Race of Hungary at a wet and wild Hungaroring (Sunday 24 April).
Forecasted heavy rainfall saturated the circuit on Sunday morning, but this wasn't enough to dampen the spirits of the tenths of thousands Hungarian fans who braved the inclement conditions to support the WTCC on its annual visit to Budapest.
The stands and paddock were chockfull of LADA enthusiasts, who welcomed the Russian marque back to the Hungarian market in January and are keenly awaiting the Vesta's arrival in the third quarter of 2016.
This passion for the brand was felt by everybody concerned with the team, including its drivers, Catsburg, Gabriele Tarquini and Hugo Valente, and the rising fervour within the stands as the rain turned to drizzle during the build-up to the day's Opening Race was appreciated by all.
The change in conditions made tyre choice a complete lottery and there was a real difference of opinion; there were those who stuck with grooved wet weather tyres, others who opted for slicks all-round and some who chose dry fronts and wet rears.
Catsburg on row two of the reversed grid and Valente in P12 were both adamant that wets were the way forward, while Tarquini initially mixed and matched before exchanging his slick fronts for wets at the end of the second formation lap.
The demise of home hero Norbert Michelisz prior to the rolling start gave Catsburg some light relief and the Dutchman was soon up into the podium places and bearing down on Fredrik Ekblom in second.
The runner-up position was his when he got the overlap on the blue Volvo through the final turn and planted his LADA Vesta on the inside on the drag along the start/finish straight, although he would slip back to third later in the race.
Valente was the biggest mover during the opening laps, the Frenchman quickly disposing of the slick-shod runners and emerging from successive high-intensity tussles in fifth.
Tarquini, meanwhile, as in a class of one. The Italian veteran started by negating the time lost in the pits and his pace was such that he switched places with teammate Valente in order to go in pursuit of fourth-placed Ekblom, some ten seconds up the road.
Lapping considerably quicker than those around him, the gap between Ekblom and Tarquini stood at only six tenths at the flag and fifth was a welcome result in hugely challenging conditions, especially with Valente shadowing him in a highly respectable sixth and Catsburg sensationally rounding out the podium in third.
Conditions for the Main Race were no better and the LADA SPORT ROSNEFT team struggled to keep pace. Tarquini made headway before coming off worst in a collision with Thed Bjork, while Valente collected points for ninth and Catsburg finished 13th after being slapped with a harsh and unwarranted drive-through penalty for a minor track limits infringement.
FIA WTCC Race of Hungary podium finisher Nicky Catsburg says driving on ice would have been preferable to the conditions he countered during his run to third place in the Opening Race at the Hungaroring yesterday.
While Mehdi Bennani was untouchable out front, Catsburg was holding second until Tom Chilton got ahead in the closing stages. "Tom was definitely faster but normally I would have kept the position if I didn't make so much mistakes so I'm a bit unhappy about that," Catsburg added.
