We take inspiration for our single-player story mode from traditional fighting games. You'll select your character, you'll find out what brings that character to the PlayStation All-Stars universe, what they're doing there, and what their motivation is. You'll play in a couple of different match types against various different characters, and then we have this rivalry system. This goes back to one of the very basic motivating ideas that contributed to the PlayStation All-Stars becoming a video game, which was the idea of fantasy match-ups.
Like, what would happen if Ratchet and Clank met up with Jak and Daxter? We actually have a rivalry concept in the game where, during each character's individual arcade progression they'll meet a rival, and that will introduce easter egg type elements. We sort of have fun with different characters. For instance, Dante in the game, his rival in the game is Nariko, both of those characters obviously being handled by Ninja Theory. It's little things like that that we've played with. Then of course they'll meet at the end what we're calling a "boss battle", but we're not talking about that. There will be a resolution there. Obviously the story of All-Stars isn't exactly canon, we don't want Kratos and Drake to go back to their universes and reference [our story], but we're having a bit of fun with it.
What's exciting here, is that we've got a minimum of 20 characters and according to this every single one of them will receive at least 4 cutscenes: an origin, a rival meet, a boss confrontation (that also includes your rival's reappearance) all concluding with a sequence that ties that characters story together.
The focus on "fantasy match-ups" and easter eggs is compelling too; who wouldn't want to see Sly, Ratchet, and Jak's paths cross? Or the clown fearing funny man Nathan Drake running for dear sweet life from the sadistic Sweet Tooth?
What epic, or wonderfully silly PlayStation cross-over character scenes do you want to see All-Stars bring to life? – If Sackboy slaps Kratos Battle Royale has GOTY written all over it.

A British driver was reunited with his family yesterday after being given a suspended sentence for causing the deaths of two people by dangerous driving in the Gumball Rally.
Nicholas Morley, 30, had been locked in a cell in Ohrid prison, Macedonia, 23 hours a day for a month while a court decided his sentence.
He was unable to exercise, and went for stretches without food or access to a telephone to call his family or legal support.
Although he was found guilty, he was freed shortly afterwards on the suspended sentence and warned not to offend again in Macedonia for the next three years.
Upon hearing the sentence, Mr Morley said: "I love Macedonia, it is a great country."
There were fears that his sentence would be much harsher after the court refused to hear evidence from forensic experts hired by the defence to show that Mr Morley was driving at a reasonable speed.
He was taking part in the Gumball Rally, a pan-European race, when his Porsche 911 collided with the Volkswagen Golf of Vladimir Cepulyoski, 67, and his wife Margarita on May 2, killing them both.
The official forensic scientist, who was later revealed in court to be unemployed, claimed Mr Morley was driving at more than 100mph.
However, TRL, the company that reconstructed Princess Diana's fatal accident, said he was driving at about 37mph. It said the official report was "nonsensical and completely erroneous" and added that the calculations of Mr Morley's speed were "incorrect physically, mathematically and also in common sense".
Mr Morley's family said they were "delighted and relieved" that he had been freed.
"We have maintained all along that Nick was involved in a tragic accident and entirely innocent of the charges brought against him. While we are disappointed that the court has not recognised Nick's innocence, our sole focus today is to get Nick home and reunited with his family," they said in a statement.


well...boat outboard motor ( 4 stroke Zuke) failed Sept 18th due to oil pump explosion.
and now it looks like my 00' jeep has the dreaded bad cast 0331 cylinder head crack..
just noticed the coolant was slowing leaving the resivoir..
2 big ticket items in one year...maybe it will last?,,,well @109k it's not worth fixing it to me...I 'll drive it until dies..
I only drive it 3k per year..
so I decided get back out the re this weekeend despite it..
but I fogot about the mess the dredging in the area is making..
Had a long weekend and what a weekend it was! perfect weather everyday. only difference was the wind..
Did Some yard work 1st and then hit the suds on foot for the last of the out going til sundown..
had fish on with in 10 cast - nice little bass.
glad I did -- hooked into a big blue..but broke off...too bad..
struggled to keep the line straight hoping he would not turn across it and get the leader... got him right to shore --- when he does a big long tarpon tail walk right @ me in less then a foot of water...and snaps the line as he comes crashing down just @ my feet as I jumped out of the way... all I could see was 30" of anger teeth catapulting towards me..
10-20 missed bumps bites ..
- great action - pretty consistent..not much waiting between fish..not bad for 2+hrs.
wanted a change of pace...so decided to take the yak out since on such a nice day - very warm in the sun.
in @ 3pm --lots of bait in the water.. a great sign...but maybe too much..
paddled out as I heard the scream of a Hawk above,..awesome sound... then 2 ospreys over head one with a fish.. 10 min later 2 Blue Herons chasing each other in aerial battle.
Hit many many spots....for nada..I know there's fish here...just where? -- was starting to think maybe I was in the wrong place.. when just as the though crossed my mind.. ZZZZZZZZZZZ nice fish.. BLUe .. dragged me around .. tough guy @ 24".. ..quickly released - felt much better now the skunk was gone..
light bite --set the hook and the fish just took OFF>>>>>>>>> biggest fish on the yak yet.....not sure what it was ....pretty sure it was a bass by it's actions...but the best part is not really knowing as you Nantucket sleigh ride around...I had dreams of a rogue weakfish...but then I always do...Finally got a look @ him came up and ran down..Nice Bass..
After that - I t was nada...fish on top but no takes.. done @ 6:50.
So great yesterday and so similar today that I decided to Yak it again.. plus everything was still in place -- just jump in the truck n go.
Same scene as yesterday .. unreal beauty.
wind - nada - changed and had breezes but different directions - never got started..
took even longer and more patience today to find action...and when I did hook up - it was a Robin..
2 hrs and much , much casting with little or no results....hooked up with a nice blue -- felt big as the drag went crazy and he Spun me 8 times..like a top..
I was surprised to measure [email protected] only 24" -- fight felt more like a 28" fish..
best part of the day was when a Osprey was diving 100ft away from me multiple passes .. so cool to see Him smash into the water -- jump out and shake off..circle me and do it again.
done @ 6:30 -- my arms are shot from 1000 casts this weekend..
Wanted a repeat from yesterday...Headed out late on Sun feeling great after the JETS crushed the Bills @ home..
and very Windy so the fly rod stayed in the holder again...wind got even worst by sun down to the water by 4.
similar to yesterday -- Fish on within 10min -- nice schoolie 20" ... then another 17"..
then a bump...nice.. wind smashing the line in a belly.. tough to feel whats happening on the business end.
just before sunset set -Switch lures to the $$$ -- 3 casts ~bam~ Fish on - nice schoolie @ 22"
after getiing some great sunset shots ( best of the year) had another schoolie 24" post sunset..
- Had a Flock of gees do a low fly over..
- cold day by comparison to yesterday,,,and mid 50s this week..
Headed out late on Sat afternoon to hit the last of the incoming..
not my favorite tide..but the sunsets are the best anytime..
Wind SSW @ 10-12 then 5-7..to near zero @ sunset..mostly because land blocked it..
took awhile but I had a good feeling about this one spot and ripped off some good casts.,....2 - 3 in ...had a fish chase the lure right past me 6' away,..and turn away like a shot.
5:30 ~ made a big move......20+ casts --nada-- so just settled in to enjoy the sunset... I had a fish already so I wasn't chases by a skunk..
it's funny how you relax and it just happens..
bump...next cast ,Bite.. then fish ..on ...nice feeling..but just a robin,..then a Bigger than a snapper blue hit..
just before sunset set --- bam~ another hit on a different test between a bass/blue retrieve worked as the fish crushed it on the blue part..
and not 6 casts later - same retrieve..Bam fish on again.. a nicer schoolie 25"
I'll take this size all day.. beats the mirco 15-16s..
sun faded by 6:45..had to get home..
a few bumps here and there..
-ran into a high school friend I haven't seen for 20?yrs.


In a school year that drags on and just refuses to go smoothly, I am reminded that God has a plan and a purpose for my life, their lives, this year. In a season where I make room in my heart by making room in my home, I am reminded that contentment with godliness is great gain. As I meet with the Savior over coffee in the early morning quiet, I am reminded over and over that contentment begins by giving thanks for what one already has and the enemy of a peaceful heart is ungratefulness.

You can either ignore the stats, or you can learn how to make Amazon work for you, to increase your sales and customer base.
Investing in advertising is not optional anymore on Amazon. New businesses are opening accounts on Amazon every day, flooding the market and increasing competition. Average cost-per-click (CPC) prices are rising in every category, even reaching the point of unprofitability in some cases, just to fend off competitors.
With all this competition some may ask if it is even worth investing in Amazon advertising. The answer is "absolutely yes." With 49% of customers starting their product searches on Amazon, don't be passive — you can't afford not to pursue these shoppers.
So why do you need to pay for ads on Amazon?
Amazon's algorithm has many ranking factors when deciding who ranks at the top for any given search, but sales velocity is the number one factor. Sales velocity is how many sales you are generating lately. It is not a specific metric Amazon gives you but more of a generalization of how many units you are selling per day.
Amazon is less concerned with cumulative sales and is more interested in the quantity you have sold recently. This is how new sellers can rise up on Amazon over veteran sellers by pushing more units per day than their competitors.
How do you generate sales velocity if nobody can find you? Advertising.
The infographic below is a visualization of what information Amazon provides regarding how their algorithm works. We have also confirmed these underlying factors through our own extensive testing.
Two primary factors drive organic sales rank: direct factors and indirect factors.
Direct factors are the most important.
On Amazon, there can sometimes be multiple "offers" or people selling the same product. By default, Amazon chooses to show the product of the company they believe has the best offer based on price, reviews, fulfillment method, etc.
If there were other sellers of this product, you would be able to view the various offers available.
First, let's take a look at the types of ads you can run and the strategies for using each.
There are a few different types of Ads. If this is too basic for you, skip to the Goals section.
Sponsored product ads look like regular organic listings, but have a sponsored badge (see screenshot below). They also appear in carousels and Amazon will likely add additional placements for them over time.
Sponsored product ads consist of auto and manual campaigns.
Auto campaigns are based on the content on your product page. Amazon's algorithm determines if your ad is relevant for a given search based on the search query and your product page text match relevancy.
Manual campaigns are based on keywords you bid on with varying match types (broad, phrase, or exact match).
Use auto campaigns to gather search term data which you can apply to your manual campaigns.
Here is a search term report with some examples of keywords we have converted on at a good advertising cost of sale (ACOS) and would want to add to our manual campaigns.
If you convert on a search term in your auto campaign, add it to your manual campaign and set a specific bid for that keyword. This is a strategy called keyword harvesting.
Product display ads (PDAs) have a few different placements as shown below. PDAs can be used to target competitors product pages or defend your own pages.
What are you looking to accomplish with your ads? Grow sales volume quickly? Acquire customers more cost efficiently? All the above right?
As nice as that would be, it is better to focus on two of the three sides of what is referred to as the Amazon Advertising Triangle at a time.
If you want to push volume quickly, you are going to sacrifice efficiency. If you increase all your bids by 150%, you don't know if you will receive an equal return in sales due to the law of diminishing returns which will drive up your ACOS.
When I refer to improving "efficiency," I mean lowering the cost of your advertising. For example, if you generate $100 in sales with $10 instead of $20 you would be improving your efficiency because your ACOS is now 10% instead of 20%.
Focusing solely on this strategy will reduce your sales volume because even keywords which are not performing efficiently are still generating sales for you. The only time when you won't affect sales would be on keywords which you were spending money and not receiving any sales. These are quick wins and a great way to quickly improve efficiency without sacrificing volume.
You need time to tweak and identify the keywords to bid on and how much to pay for them to ensure you are profitable on them. Even when you find the right bids for your keywords, they are a moving target as the competitive landscape is always changing and requires updating bids to stay ahead of the competition, seasonality, etc.
You can have multiple products in an ad group, and those products will show up for the keywords in that specific ad group.
When it comes to structuring your campaigns, the more granular, the better. For most businesses, I recommend having a separate ad group for every Product/SKU. If your catalog is small enough, say under 50 products (including variations) you can create a separate campaign for every product and still be able to manage everything.
When I refer to "products" in this case, I am referring to essentially product variations. If it is a totally separate product, it should have its own campaign.
For example, a specific baseball bat which comes in three sizes: 32, 34, or 36. A separate baseball bat which serves a different purpose should have its own campaign.
Will the products require unique keywords?
Do I want the ability to control how aggressive I push one product over the other?
This can be beneficial when your products come in different colors, sizes, etc., and people are using those modifiers in their search. For example, for the search "men's large black crew neck t shirt" you don't want your "men's medium red crew neck t shirt" showing up for this search and wasting your ad spend.
Optimizing your bids is a never-ending game when you are competing on Amazon. Bids need to be continuously adjusted to stay ahead of the competition, grow your sales, and maintain efficiency.
Your bid optimizations will be guided by your goals, which we discussed earlier. You will also want to keep your ACOS goal in mind when determining whether to increase, decrease, or leave a bid.
This keyword has been driving a good amount of sales over the past two weeks. However, the AOCS is currently 5% above your target. I would do one of two things in this situation.
We are currently paying above the average CPC which means we are likely winning an ad spot a good amount of the time. We could try lowering our bid to $1.10 where we will not win as often, but our average CPC should come down which will result in a lower ACOS granted we do not lose more in ad revenue than we saved in spend.
Leave the bid as is. If a core keyword is a bit above your goal, you may be OK being less profitable as you are still generating sales for a core keyword which can improve your organic rank.
This keyword is clearly operating above our ACOS target. It is also not a hyper-relevant keyword so it is not one I would be willing to be so far over our ACOS target, so I would reduce the bid to below the current average CPC.
For a 10% ACOS target like the examples above (where you don't want to spend more than 10% of your sale price to generate a sale) use my bid optimization guide below to adjust your bid based on the ACOS percentage of your keywords.
Keyword harvesting is an essential part of any Amazon advertising strategy and is essentially buying data to do market research. It is the process of gathering search terms which customers are using to find your products via your auto campaigns. This is why it is essential to have strong, descriptive written content on your product detail pages. This is how Amazon's algorithm better understands your products and determines whether your ad will be relevant for a given search.
Download the search term report in your Seller Central Account. The search term report contains the search terms your auto campaigns picked up. Essentially, if someone searched something and clicked your ad, the search term report will collect that data.
I generally look at data from the previous 30 days or however long it has been since your previous harvest.
I would suggest doing this every 3-6 weeks.
Not all search terms you convert on are created equal. If your goal is a 20% ACOS, I would suggest taking keywords you have converted at a 30% ACOS or lower. I typically go above goal as auto campaigns do not perform as well, so I wouldn't want to not add a keyword just because it is a bit above goal. If you are less budget conscious, I would go even higher.
Now that you have your list of keywords you want to add back to your manual campaign, there a few more steps.
To maximize exposure, use all three match types (Broad, Phrase, and Exact).
Broad match does not need to contain the exact keyword; it only needs to be relevant and thus will have the most exposure.
Phrase match must contain the keyword in some portion of the search.
Exact match will only show for the exact keyword.
Use bids based on your average CPC which you found in your keyword harvest.
Set your bid 15% above your average CPC for broad match, 15% above that for phrase, and 20% above phrase for your exact match.
Now add those keywords to your manual campaigns.
They were heavily targeted by direct competitors who were advertising on their product pages and stealing away sales. To combat this, I created defensive product display ads with aggressive bids to fend them off.
Amazon has since added an additional ad placement on product detail pages, so it is now quite difficult to win both spots on your own product, even with very aggressive bids. You can see we have one and an unrelated competitor has the other. You have no control over which one you will show up in.
We also identified competing and related products to target with product display ads using an offensive strategy and compelling ad copy.
Don't get too caught in the weeds. Optimizing bids is important, but obsessing over small tweaks every day will take up too much time and not be beneficial. Just because you over-spent for one day doesn't mean you need to pause the keyword. Look at trends over longer time periods and don't overreact to short-term trends. Amazon is an ever-changing, complex marketplace and your bids are only one small aspect of a much larger system at work.


BP Will Allow Spill to "Disperse Naturally"
BP said in a statement Monday that a spill of over 600 barrels of oil from its Clair platform in the North Sea would be allowed to dissipate naturally, without a cleanup effort.
The spill occurred Sunday morning; BP said that the source was a leak in an oil/water/gas separator.
BP said that the oil slick was moving away from land and that it would continue to monitor its progress.
UK media reported that oil was visible on the surface of the water.
Workers have shut in the platform while the leak is investigated. BP is working with government and commercial spill response agencies to determine the best course of action.
A spokesman for the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds-Scotland told the Guardian that certain seabird species could be at risk from the spill due to their seasonal movements. The group called for a complete disclosure of the nature and extent of the spill as soon as possible.
The leak follows two days after the release of the movie "Deepwater Horizon," which follows the events on the BP-chartered rig of the same name on the day of the blowout, which led to the biggest oil spill in U.S. history. BP alleges that the film is misleading and inaccurate in its portrayal of the disaster.
"The 'Deepwater Horizon' movie is Hollywood's take on a tragic and complex accident. It is not an accurate portrayal of the events that led to the accident, our people, or the character of our company," the firm said in a statement.

Life imprisonment for man who raped 67-year-old relative
Children rescued unharmed during care centre fire
Expired driver's licenses deemed valid
By Itumeleng Sebola
The Provincial Commissioner of Police in Limpopo Lieutenant General Thembi Hadebe has welcomed the life imprisonment sentence handed down by the Regional Court in Lephalale to a 45-year-old man convicted of raping a 67-year-old woman.
The sentence was handed down on Thursday after the accused was found guilty of raping the woman, who is also her relative, on 11 November 2017, at Villa Nora outside Lephalale.
The man had gone to fetch the 67-year-old woman from her home at about 03:00 in the morning, following the passing on of another relative of theirs.
Limpopo Police spokesperson Brigadier Motlafela Mojapelo says Lieutenant General Hadebe stressed that perpetrators of sexual violence have no place in the society.

Judge Acquits 3 Chicago officers of cover up in Laquan McDonald Shooting
Stephanie Guerilus January 17, 2019
NewsPolitics & Society0 Comments 0
A Chicago judge acquitted three police officers in their involvement of the 2014 fatal shooting of a black teenager, Laquan McDonald, Thursday.
Former Detective David March, former Officer Joseph Walsh and Officer Thomas Gaffney were accused of trying to protect Officer Jason Van Dyke after he fatally shot 17-year-old McDonald on October 20, 2014 after firing 16 rounds into him. Van Dyke was ultimately found guilty of second degree murder and aggravated battery last October. His former colleagues were charged with conspiracy and official misconduct and obstruction of justice. They were alleged to have filed false police reports that absolved Van Dyke but Cook County Associate Judge Domenica Stephenson ruled that the state had not proved they acted in a criminal manner.
JUST IN: Judge acquits 3 Chicago officers charged with trying to cover up the controversial shooting of Laquan McDonald. https://t.co/B1GkKtHQ1L pic.twitter.com/c5OdxwMnpw
— CBS News (@CBSNews) January 17, 2019
Stephenson said that the dashcam video showed that McDonald still posed a threat to the officers. Furthermore, she argued that there was no attempt to hide any evidence.
"An officer could have reasonably believed an attack was imminent," she said. "It was borne out in the video that McDonald continued to move after he fell to the ground."
The graphic video in question became public is 2015. It led to various protests and allegations of excessive force and police brutality. The family of McDonald was upset by the verdict and believed the judge placed the blame solely on the teenager. Stephenson's comments suggested she believed the police officers acted in self-defense.
His great uncle, the Rev. Marvin Hunter said the verdict meant that officers could lie, cheat and steal without punishment.
"To say that these men are not guilty is to say that Jason Van Dyke is not guilty." He added: "It is a sad day for America," Hunter said.
Special Prosecutor Patricia Brown Holmes said she disagreed with the judge but would respect the ruling. She hoped that it would the case would not be in vain.
"We do hope that this has been a crack in the wall of the code of silence, and that others will think twice about engaging in conduct that might land them in an investigation such as this," she said.

How does Forskolin work? Researches have confirmed that Forskolin helps the process in which your body breaks down stored fats in your fat cells. Not only that, but it also release the fatty acids in your adipose tissue, thus greatly helping the weight loss process while also increasing your lean body mass. Basically, this great fat buster works like a furnace, but from the inside of your body. As it burns that fat from the inside of your body, it leaves behind muscle and a more toned belly and body. A 12-week study was done on Forskolin and we can safely say that the natural supplement has been clinically proven to help increase muscle mass, bone mass and help testosterone levels for men. Forskolin also works on muscles inside your heart and in the blood vessels' walls. It produces a more powerful heartbeat and widening of the blood vessels to finally lower blood pressure. Forskolin should not be used if you are pregnant or scheduled for surgery in the next two weeks. Another thing you have to be cautious about is the Forskolin concentration in the supplement's bottle – make sure that it's at least 10%.

Welcome to Betamaxcollecters.com. This site takes a look back on NTSC video history, the first home video recorders to ever hit the market. The Sony Betamax. Beta was the format that started it all. The format was introduced May, 10 1975 by Sony in a console with a built in Sony Trinitron television. Sony's second model was a stand alone VCR. Soon after Toshiba, Sanyo, and a few other manufacturers soon produced there own line of Beta VCRS. Sanyo known as the Betacord VCRS. Zenith, Realistic, Sears also had there clones of the Sanyo and Sony Betamax VCR. Zenith called there Sony clones, The Video Director. The next year after Beta was introduced, in 1976 was when JVC introduced VHS. Throughout the late 70s up to the late 1980s was the Betamax Vs VHS battle. It was a long battle. 1984 was the year the sales of Beta VCRS were the highest. By 1986, VHS sales were well over the Beta format. That was the time when people knew Beta was going to die.1988 was the year Sony put out there first line of VHS VCRS. Sony continued to produce Beta VCRS up until 1993. Unfortunately Beta lost due to shorter tape hours, Beta cassettes are a bit smaller than VHS cassettes, VHS cassettes could spool more tape, which means more tape time. Consumers were after VHS due to longer tape recording time. The 1970s and early 1980s were the times when both formats loaded the cassettes on the top. It wasn't until 1981 when Sony introduced the first front loading machine, and 1983 the first Hi-Fi machine ever. VHS soon copied. Now we are in the days of DVD. VHS the longest going format is now pretty much obsolete.

Alvis: The Story of the Red Triangle
by Kenneth Day
Alvis has made a comeback—71 years after the last 4.3L model was built! At the 2010 Goodwood Festival of Speed, Red Triangle Autoservices Ltd., the company started by ex senior staff that since 1967 owns the Alvis car brand and trademarks and has looked after the service needs of owners, announced that they would set up a new Alvis Car Company to build as a continuation series those 77 4.3L models that remained unbuilt in the 1930s. In its day this was the fastest non-supercharged production car and the new models will be built from the original plans but utilize modern technology. High time then to study this book so you know what you're getting!
". . . a company will not achieve the highest quality if the chief executive does not demonstrate total commitment to quality, safeguarding it when there is a conflict of priorities."
At different times, Alvis has been different things to different people. Cars, of course, since 1920, but also aero engines and armored vehicles. These three main activities mostly ran sequentially rather than concurrently, which conveniently lends this book thematic structure. This broad product range will also make the book appealing to a wider audience than just car enthusiasts. The modern-day Alvis Group is even a significant name in the medical optical sector, which is covered here in one of the appendices. Even readers with marine interests will find relevant bits here because company founder Thomas George John (1880–1946) was a brilliant naval architect and engineer. In fact, several key Alvis people had a naval background, and commensurate work ethic, which influenced both the quality of their product as well as business decisions. Motorsports enthusiasts will note another noteworthy Admiralty connection: one S.C.H. Davis, colorful racecar driver, not just on Alvis cars, and surely best known as one of the Bentley Boys.
Author Day is President Emeritus of the Alvis Owners Club (AOC) and a respected Alvis historian. He has owned seven Alvises (Alvii?) and driven most of the company's products. Many Alvis directors, department chiefs, managers, and other staff provided input into the 1st edition. It should be noted that the 2nd edition received an award of distinction from the Society of Automotive Historians. Even if this fourth edition had only been a straight reprint of the previous three it would have been an accomplishment but it is a true revision, adding new text and photos and modifying certain details. It is also completely redesigned.
Just to get it out of the way, grafting new onto old has its logistical challenges and so we find here, for instance, photo captions that no longer match the photo; they're still on the same page so it's not a catastrophic jumble. Much more importantly, the new text contains contributions by Alvis Chief Engineers Dunn, Probert, and Wickham that provide important insight into various periods of company history. The commentary by Michael Dunn, who also wrote the Foreword and whose father was Chief Engineer before him, is particularly interesting because he later held similar positions in other car companies (including Rolls-Royce; readers with interest in that marque will find food for thought here!) and, looking back on all of them, makes pertinent comparisons.
The book begins with biographical notes on founder T.G. John and his pre-Alvis activities. Equally as important as telling the company's story, Day is eager to finally show the world "TG" as the genius he was. The first half of the book covers the genesis and technical attributes of the cars, along with their racing and record exploits. The second half concentrates in similar detail on radial aero engines (Alvis was the last firm to join the party and made significant contributions) and light armored fighting vehicles (by 2004 Alvis was the largest manufacturer in Europe). Day conducted many interviews during his research and many excerpts made it into his thorough narrative.
Few other books match this one when it comes to photos of the actual manufacturing process, especially the early era. Throughout, most of the photos are from Alvis Ltd. and AOC archives. They are of remarkably good quality, all the car photos are period ones, and there are a satisfying number of detail shots of components as well as technical and general arrangement drawings, cutaways, and a few ads. There are rather too few coachwork and trim photos. (More may be found in Nick Walker's Alvis Speed Models In Detail.) Restored cars are shown on two 8-page color sections as is some military gear. Indicative of Alvis' close association with the Brooklands circuit is the artwork on the endpapers, a Roy Nockolds painting in the front and a Raymond Groves one in the back.
The next item should not be blown out of proportion even if it is extraordinary: the exact same Alvis Stormer is shown twice, once as the original photo (p. 247) and once heavily photoshopped (p. 239) into a totally different landscape. Bad enough that someone saw a need for this but worse to think to get away with it. Absentmindedness? April Fools gag gone wrong? Why??
Eight Appendices contain reams of data and background including production numbers and survivors. Some 70 pages present 1920–1967 car specs for all models, including price. Readers with coachwork interests will lament the lack of detailed information of which coachbuilders did what. Note that all are listed under "C" in the Index but the indents for sub-subentries are inconsistent, thus confusing.) The Index is sufficiently deep; readers should know that the late AOC Bulletin editor Brian Ledwith was working on a far more detailed "Index and Browsing Aid" to the 3rd edition of this book. After his untimely death his daughter Anya completed the work and self-published a 248-page paperback under the title The Alvis Companion (print: $18.11, electronic download: $8.65).

A unique IoT satellite terminal
A unique IoT satellite terminal https://mlhhpqmfgirk.i.optimole.com/w:auto/h:auto/q:mauto/f:avif/https://altyor.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/kineis-2.jpg 1000 523 Altyor Altyor https://mlhhpqmfgirk.i.optimole.com/w:auto/h:auto/q:mauto/https://altyor.fr/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Logo-Altyor-H-RVB_2018.svg 8 October 2021 11 January 2022
Kinéis and Altyor are working together to design terminals with global ambitions. Claire Mignonat, Product Marketing Manager at Kinéis, shares her experience with Altyor.
Kinéis x Altyor collaborent autour de l'IoT satellitaire
Altyor, a partner for innovation
Kinéis and Altyor collaborate on the creation of demonstration terminals to track and connect infrastructure and equipment in all regions of the world, thanks to Kinéis IoT satellite connectivity. Based on the functional needs expressed by Kinéis, Altyor has designed a robust and versatile terminal. This demonstration terminal meets the expectations of users who want to use Kinéis technology in a wide range of specific applications (infrastructure, transport and logistics, etc.).
ALTYOR: Can you tell us about your company and your business in one or two sentences?
CLAIRE: Kinéis is a satellite operator and global connectivity provider dedicated to the IoT, the Internet of Things. What exactly does that mean? It means that Kinéis operates satellites, a constellation of satellites. Today, we have 8 satellites in orbit and soon, in 2023, we are launching a constellation of 25 nano-satellites, dedicated to the IoT, which will provide a near-real time connectivity service, as well as satellite location services.
ALTYOR: How long has Kinéis existed, how many people does the company employ and what is your current location?
CLAIRE: Kinéis was created in 2018 and now it has about fifty employees. We are based in Toulouse, the nerve centre of space activity in France and therefore, close to the players in this sector in Toulouse.
ALTYOR: What product or solution have you decided to develop and what need does this product meet?
CLAIRE: We decided to develop a multi-sensor device that would integrate Kinéis connectivity. Why? Because in fact, we had customers who had expressed the need to have a turnkey device to be able to test the Kinéis connectivity service.
ALTYOR: How did you identify this need?
CLAIRE: The need was simple, quite clear. We have a variety of customers and on our client panel we had people who don't necessarily have the ability of developing a device. So we needed a turnkey solution to allow customers to be able to test the Kinéis service in their environment, in their use case.
ALTYOR: Why did you choose Altyor as your partner?
CLAIRE: Because Altyor was the partner that, via the launchPad assistance program, offered us to move forward by iteration and a completely risk free approach, while benefiting from the experience that Altyor has, on the whole design part until the industrialization of a connected object. It is true that we arrived with a specification (with an idea in mind), and Altyor was also able to accompany us in everything, in the end, choices that we would not necessarily have made. So it is true that operating on an iteration basis also allowed us to consolidate our specifications and to be able to produce a device that perfectly met the criteria we had developed.
ALTYOR: What was the main challenge for you and for Altyor?
CLAIRE: We had a main challenge that was ultimately the compactness of the object. We wanted something compact and very adaptable because it is still a demonstration object assisting customers and, in the end, a use-case that we do not always know in advance. We really needed to have both a compact and multi-sensor device, adaptable also in terms of fixation, in terms of mode of operation for any type of environment.
ALTYOR: How would you describe the relationship with Altyor throughout the production process?
CLAIRE: Very, very good. Altyor is a very reliable partner who has been able to give us feedback at the right time, who has been able to de-risk a number of steps, who has also been able to advise us in some production situations, in some choices and always bring solutions when we were faced with problems, so we are extremely appreciative.
ALTYOR: What particularly struck you in the way Altyor works?
CLAIRE: What particularly struck us was the fact that we were always able to bring solutions when we encountered problems. And also the fact of always offering developments to the product or different ways of thinking and, therefore, constantly improving our initial ideas.
ALTYOR: What are the next steps?
CLAIRE: For Kinéis, it is actually the installation of this turnkey solution for customers with the device, our connectivity and then the platform that goes with it. Always with the aim of having a decision-making accelerator and finally being able to present the offer, what Kinéis is able to offer.
ALTYOR: Anything to add?
CLAIRE: Yes, I would like to add that it is true that with Altyor, beyond the customer-supplier relationship that we may have had on this project, it is true that now, we see more of an evolution around a partnership and we work with good understanding, in a good mood and it's overall really nice.

State Historic Resources Commission to Consider Historic Designation for Century 21 Dome
Carolyn Schuk Posted on POSTED 12:00 AM, April 23, 2014
They may not be officially designated historic landmarks, but the Century Dome theaters are already a tourist attraction.
On a recent Tuesday morning, visitors from Anaheim were taking pictures in front of the iconic theater complex that has been a Winchester Boulevard landmark since 1964. The family was visiting the Winchester Mystery House. "When I saw that dome, I knew exactly what it was," said the father, who said he has fond memories of seeing "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad World" at a Cinerama dome in Southern California.
The future of the oldest of the four domes, Century 21, may be decided next week, when the California State Historic Resources Commission (SHRC) meets to consider new nominations for California's Register of Historical Resources. San Jose's Preservation Action Council petitioned the state to give the dome theater landmark status.
In March, the San Jose Council and Mayor Chuck Reed – in an about-face – wrote to the agency, asking that it be considered for historic preservation. At the April 22 meeting, the SHRC will consider Century 21's nomination and make a recommendation to the National Park Service, which ultimately decides what goes on the national register of historic places.
The property owners want to tear down the theaters and redevelop the land into a high density "urban village." Although the San Jose City Council hasn't approved any plan, Santana Row owner Federal Realty has already signed a ground lease with the owners. Since the plan was announced, there has been a growing protest from preservationists and dome fans, and an online petition with nearly 8,000 signatures.
The San Jose Council has also taken steps to nominate Century 21 as a city historic landmark. The city's Historic Landmarks Commission nominated the theater for historic status at its January meeting, but that's in limbo apparently because no one has stepped up with the necessary research and fees.
The Winchester dome theaters were the first of their kind and were designed for a then-new widescreen technology, Cinerama. Designed by Bay Area architect Vincent G. Raney – a relative of the property owners – the Century 21 Theater "embodies the distinctive characteristics of the mid-century modernist style and suburban roadside architecture popular during the 1960s," says the application to the SHRC. "This modernist landmark in San Jose is one of the best surviving examples of the freestanding dome type theater remaining in California."
If the dome escapes the wrecking ball, there's a company that's ready to move in and continue its historic use as a theater: Guggenheim Entertainment, which operated the Retro Dome at Westgate until they lost their lease in 2012 and that structure was demolished.
The family-owned company was highly successful with its mix of retro movies, live stage shows, and educational theater programs. GE offered a retro movie series until the end of March at the Century 21, and are ready to re-start operations at a moment's notice, says GE principal Scott Guggenheim. The theater would also provide another community performing venue – something that is much needed in the area.
SHRC's April 22 meeting begins at 9 a.m. at the Asilomar Conference Center Kiln Room, 800 Asilomar Drive in Pacific Grove. To follow the story, visit https://www.facebook.com/SaveTheWinchesterDomesSignThePetition.

Binance has announced that it will be delisting Bitcoin SV (BSV), the crypto that resulted from the November 2018 acrimonious Bitcoin Cash (BCH) hard fork.
The crypto exchange has taken this decision days after the controversy involving BSV's Craig Wright re-surfaced.
Binance announced its decision to remove BSV this Monday, with the exchange noting that all of the coin's trading pairs would be off the platform on April 22. After the delisting, Binance users who hold BSV will continue to access withdrawals up to July 22.
The move comes only days after the leading crypto platform's CEO Changpeng Zhao threatened the action. The Binance chief made the remarks in the wake of Wright's attacks on some Twitter users who have opposed the Australian's claim to be bitcoin creator Satoshi Nakamoto.
Zhao had warned that Wright had to stop his aggressive attacks or risk having his coin BSV delisted.
In the Monday announcement, Binance had noted that the move was in line with its periodic reviews involving every listed digital asset. As per the exchange, the reviews are normally aimed at ensuring that all assets continuously comply with set standards.
Some of these standards include the particular coin's team's commitment to their project, project activity, level and quality of development. There is also a consideration for the project's network stability, public communication and overall receptiveness towards due diligence requests.
Weight is also given to project's overall role in the growth of a strong cryptocurrency ecosystem.
Given the above factors, it appears the delisting of BSV is to a large part related to the controversy surrounding Wright's claim to be the enigmatic Nakamoto and his criticized attacks on supposed antagonists.
One of those under fire from Wright is a Twitter user by the name hodlonaut- the same individual credited with starting off the Lightning Network "torch"- and who rubbished Wright's claims.
In fact, Wright took the disagreement a notch higher by announcing a bounty intended to help unmask hodlonaut. He has also secured cease-and-desist orders and sent them to "What Bitcoin Did" podcast host Peter McCormack.
Following Binance's decision to delist BSV, a number of other crypto exchanges have taken similar steps. On Monday, crypto-to-crypto exchange ShapeShift announced it would remove the coin within 48 hrs. The platform's CEO Erik Voorhees said that the exchange supported Binance's actions.
Another exchange to threaten a similar reaction is Kraken, with a Twitter poll set up to decide BSV's fate on the San Francisco-based exchange.

});
function scrollMe(element, container){
  var offset = $(container).find('li').first().position().top;
  $(container).scrollTop($(element).position().top - offset);
};

A: You had forgotten to reassign selectedComboItem in all of your if-else statements. Without that you have scrolled to the wrong element every time, and got errors on the first change, because in your else statement you never initialized selectedComboItem.
And don't use $($result), this will double cast your jQuery object in a jQuery object again.

Ed Sheeran's 'Game of Thrones' cameo strikes sour note
Published : Jul 18, 2017, 10:00 am IST
Updated : Jul 18, 2017, 10:12 am IST
The script for the premiere episode of the HBO show's season seven called for the 26-year-old to do what he does the best - singing.
Ed Sheeran strikes a cameo in the popular winter season 7 of 'Game of Thrones.'
Mumbai: The 'Game of Thrones' winter is finally here, so is Ed Sheeran's highly-anticipated appearance and it is making many fans think out loud.
In the segment, Arya Stark, portrayed by Maisie Williams, is seen taking some time out from killing the bad people to hang with the 'Shape of You' hit-maker, who plays one of the nameless soldiers.
He sings the lyrics from the George R.R. Martin book 'A Dance with Dragons' - "He rode through the streets of the city / Down from his hill on high / O'er the winds and the steps and the cobbles / He rode to a woman's sigh / For she was his secret treasure / She was his shame and his bliss / And a chain and a keep are nothing / Compared to a woman's kiss / For hands of gold are always cold / But a woman's hands are warm."
After which Arya tells Sheeran's character, "It's a pretty song, I've never heard it before,' to which he responds, 'It's a new one.'
However, the 'Thinking Out Loud' hit-maker's cameo appearance didn't go down that well among some fans, with one tweeting, "Nymeria to Arya next week: YOU HAD ED SHEERAN IN YOUR HANDS AND YOU LET HIM GO...WTF."
One twitterer wrote, "Goddamn Ed Sheeran has a new single out in Westeros. #GameOfThrones," while another said, "Hello it's me, ed sheeran, and i'm here to remind you none of this is real! It's just a tv show haha, I'm ed sheeran."
While one fan noted, "#GameOfThones writing room: 'Ok we're beyond the books, we have creative control'...Concept: Ed Sheeran camping in the woods singing a song," another wrote, "When Arya's like "I guess I'll stop for an Ed Sheeran concert on my way to murder a bunch more people." #BagofSwords #GameOfThrones."
One post read, "Arya: 'That's a pretty song.'... Ed Sheeran: 'It's a new one... off my brand new album, 'Divide,' in stores now!!!!' #GameOfThrones," while another said, "If Arya doesn't burn Ed Sheeran he'll come back as a white walker and be playing Westeros Glastonbury for thousands of years."

Bridal tea or lingerie tea? That is the question!
What woman ever dreamed of finding the Prince Charming coming on a white horse as in a fairy tale?The answer is:almost the entire female population of the planet.
It's okay that the scenario does not have to be well described, but the desire to find great love has passed through girls' heads at some point in their lives.Or, it may be that you are currently experiencing this!
Suddenly, the dream comes true! Your passion appears and you ask yourself, "Where was he ?!"Time passes, you date until you decide to "gather the cloths", so our grandparents spoke.
For the groom, it may sound like a simple request for a wedding. For the bride, a marathon begins, because everything has to be perfect.Overkill?None of this!
Before it was just the wedding ceremony and the choice of dress, which is not so simple either.But this rush can (and should) be softened, for example, with a Lingerie Tea. Here at gradinmath.com you can get more different models and styles.
BUT WHY NOT COOKIE TEA?
Only a few women want to be housewives to look after their husbands and children . Over the years, most have struggled to gain independence, be it financial or professional, even though they are married.
This has even been reflected in the preparations for the wedding.Faced with this modernity, some brides are choosing to gain underwear for household items.This, if the choice is one of these options.
Not to mention that in the end the comrades also end up being benefited.And how they are!
Now, let's wait for friends to read this text to join in and organize a beautiful surprise for the bride.
The Lingerie Tea does not have to be taken almost literally with a small meeting where tea will be served.
Because it is a unique moment, it does not have to be grimacing, much less monotonous, since this is an important transition from single life to married life.The moment must be laughs, jokes and a lot of emotion.
The name itself says it all.Without being more of the same, think about themes like Hawaiian Feast, Pink, Beautiful Woman, etc … Chosen, all must attend the character.
This a lot of people played in their teens.It can be done using a baton while playing a song.As she stops, the guest asks a spicy question to the bride about her past.Or, some that may have a revealing answer that surprises them all.
The bride will have to unravel what she has packed.It sounds simple, but it will give a guess work.And if she does not hit, the punishment may be with a gift chosen by her friends.
That also pays!All the friends should attach at the present a photo of when it was a child for the bride to identify who is who.
How about registering a tribute to the friend with advice and praise?I guarantee that this will wring many tears from everyone present.Imagine how beautiful it will be!
Liked?So do not forget the main: choose the best lingerie.
In Tip we have options for all styles and tastes.Be sure to check it out.

Cardi B giant engagement ring is off her hand, and she's making sure everyone knows it, as she flaunted her ringless finger during NYC concert.
Cardi strolled into Madison Square Garden Friday night for iHeartRadio's Jingle Ball concert and proudly showed off her much lighter left hand to fans and cameramen.
We are so sure she's sending up a signal to her estranged hubby, Offset and possibly to all the future suitors waiting to shoot their shot.
Life changes within a flash, as just last month, she was rocking the 8-carat, 199156.03₦k ring while onstage for a Pandora event in NYC. Times have changed.
Earlier this week, Cardi announced she and Offset were separated and likely headed for divorce.

Conergy net loss shrinks by 40% Y/Y in Q3 2012
(SeeNews) – Nov 13, 2012 - German solar equipment maker Conergy AG (ETR:CGYK) said today its net loss narrowed by 40% year-on-year to EUR 37.8 (USD 47.9m) million in the third quarter of 2012 despite continuing price pressure on the solar market.
The company's third-quarter loss before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (LBITDA), on the other hand, rose to EUR 31.7 million in the third quarter of 2012 from EUR 27.3 million in the corresponding period last year. This was partially due to a one-off effect of EUR 18 million, resulting from the early termination of a contract with US wafer supplier MEMC (NYSE:WFR). According to the contract, the US company was to supply solar wafers to Conergy over a period of 10 years at pre-set prices.
Conergy also said it managed to narrow its loss before interest and tax (LBIT) to EUR 35.1 million from a loss of EUR 104 million a year earlier. The high prior-year loss was caused by the realignment of the company's module factory in Frankfurt (Oder) in Germany.
As a result of the continuing price pressure in the solar industry, the further cuts in solar feed-in tariffs as well as due to some postponed projects, the company's sales in the third quarter of 2012 fell to EUR 108 million from EUR 182 million a year earlier.
In the January-September period of 2012, Conergy's net loss almost halved to EUR 58.1 million from EUR 103.2 million last year. LBIT fell to EUR 49.7 million from 133.5 million, while LBITDA decreased to EUR 38.8 million from EUR 44.3 million a year earlier. Sales declined to EUR 351.7 million from EUR 570.9 million.
On the basis of these figures and taking into account the termination of the contract with MEMC, Conergy has now affirmed its 2012 forecast, which was lowered at the end of September. The company projects LBITDA in the mid-double-digit million euro range. Sales are seen below the EUR 755 million, booked for 2011.
On the other hand, in 2013 Conergy plans to further expand in Thailand, where it recently introduced a 21 MW project.

Prince Harry Accuses Prince William Of Physical 'Attack' In New Book
The Duke of Sussex has claimed his brother "knocked [him] to the floor" during a bust up.
Prince Harry has alleged he and Prince William were involved in a physical altercation during a dispute about his wife, Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, and he claims the Prince of Wales described her as "difficult", "rude" and "abrasive", according to a leaked excerpt from his upcoming memoir 'Spare', which is released on January 10th, obtained by The Guardian newspaper.
The duke then claims the row escalated and William "grabbed me by the collar, ripping my necklace, and … knocked me to the floor".
Harry says he had given his brother a glass of water during the bust up and had said: "I can't speak to you when you're like this."
He added: "He set down the water, called me another name, then came at me. It all happened so fast. So very fast. He grabbed me by the collar, ripping my necklace, and he knocked me to the floor.
"I landed on the dog's bowl, which cracked under my back, the pieces cutting into me. I lay there for a moment, dazed, then got to my feet and told him to get out."
Harry also claims William told him: "You don't need to tell Meg about this," and he is said to have replied: "You mean that you attacked me?"
The duke writes that William then said: "I didn't attack you, Harold."
Harry also claims Meghan later spotted "scrapes and bruises", and was "terribly sad" about the alleged altercation.
Sources claimed arrangements for the 38-year-old duke's memoir's release were "closely guarded and being managed in minute detail, with only a handful of senior executives aware of the exact particulars".
Guards, satellite tracking systems in delivery vans and legal contracts were used to protect the 10 million first copies of the book, and when the final manuscript was hand-delivered from London to New York, a lawyer for the American publisher sat on the flight.
The hardback version of 'Spare' – which references Harry's nickname the 'spare heir' – will be on shelves from Tuesday morning, with the Kindle version available just after midnight that day.
Even though it is being published in 16 languages, it is understood the varying time zones will not be used for readers to get earlier copies, with readers in Australia being told copies will not be available until January 11.
