Stanley G. Wojcicki Professor
BioFor five years up to mid-2015 has been Spokesperson for the SuperCDMS (Cryogenic Dark Matter Search) collaboration with twenty-two member institutions, which mounted a series of experiments in the Soudan mine in northern Minnesota to search for the dark matter in the form of weakly interacting massive particles or WIMPs. This direct detection effort has lead the world in sensitivity for much of the past ten years and utilizes novel cryogenic detectors using germanium and silicon crystals operated below 0.1 K. The completed CDMS II experiment operated 4 kg of germanium and 1 kg of silicon for two years and set the most sensitive limits at the time for spin-independent interactions for WIMPs masses above 40 GeV/c2. The SuperCDMS Soudan experiment operated 9 kg of germanium until the end of calendar 2015.
He was selected for a three-term as Project Director, through mid 2018, for the approved second generation (G2) SuperCDMS SNOLAB experiment which will operate 30 kg of Ge and Si detectors in the deeper SNOLAB facility in Canada. The project searches for low mass WIMPs (0.1 - 10 GeV/c2) and the cryostat facility will allow future upgrades to search down to the solar neutrino floor. It has recently been approved for full construction by the DOE and NSF.

Fibre and fabric reinforced composites are being used increasingly in the production of components for aerospace and automotive applications. Such components are considerably stronger and lighter in weight than those made from traditional materials, such as steel and aluminium. As such, they are helping manufacturers to respond to growing pressures to increase the range of vehicles—especially electric vehicles and hybrids—and reduce the consumption of fuel by vehicles and aircraft. Tremendous progress has been made recently in automated composites manufacturing, and this was highlighted at JEC World 2019—a trade fair for the composites industry which was held in Paris, France, during March 12-14, 2019. In this report, Robin Anson discusses the latest innovations which were presented at the fair, with particular reference to fibre placement (AFP) technologies developed by CompoTech, Profactor and Voith Composites. He also discusses other "off-the-shelf" systems—notably automated tape laying (ATL) and fibre patch placement (FPP) technologies—which are expected to become more widely adopted throughout the industry.

Harry Forrester has signed for Rangers from English League One club Doncaster Rovers for an undisclosed fee.
The 24-year-old winger has joined the Scottish Championship leaders on an initial six-month deal.
Forrester's previous experience of working with Rangers manager Mark Warburton at Watford and Brentford helped sway his decision.
"I know how he works and how he wants to play. I knew that style of football would suit me," said the player.
Speaking to the Rangers website, he added: "Hopefully this gives me a good platform to play, and coming into the building already knowing what is expected of me helps a lot.
"I see myself more as a left winger, and I'm comfortable there but I've played inside in the number 10 position too, so I'll play wherever the manager wants me too when I get on the pitch.
"I'm sure he has his own ideas but he knows me well enough to know where I can play."
Forrester, who has scored one goal in nine appearances this season, once spent an eight-game loan period with Kilmarnock in 2010.


Commercial plumbing systems are more complex than standard residential systems. Many of them work harder and which has a higher assess.

Fico's government subsidised firm with Scientology ties
THE ECONOMY Ministry under Smer provided funding to a company whose top representative is a Scientologist. This information surfaced in the presidential campaign after Prime Minister Robert Fico, who is running in the election as Smer's candidate, repeatedly accused his run-off opponent, Andrej Kiska, of being a scientologist.
Head of the non-parliamentary Civic Conservative Party (OKS) Ondrej Dostál announced on March 18 that the company Svidník PPS received a subsidy from the Economy Ministry in May 2013 worth over €48,000, and in January 2014 another worth €185,000, the SITA newswire reported. The company's owner, CEO and board director, Michal Homza, speaks openly about his affiliation with Scientology, the Sme daily reported.
"State subventions for technologies that do not require a security clearance have nothing in common with the fact that the presidential candidate Kiska was proved to have publicly lied about not being in contact with the Scientology sect," the ministry's spokesperson Stanislav Jurikovič responded, as quoted by SITA. Fico's spokesperson Beatrice Szabóová responded with the same answer.

China's Great Firewall 'Not Secure Enough'
China's other Great Wall didn't exactly work out so well either …
Father of internet censorship system says people are using virtual private networks to look at banned websites
The architect of the Great Firewall – the censorship system blocking huge portions of the web for China's 450 million internet users – says further tightening is needed to halt attempts to overcome its controls.
Dr Fang Binxing told a Chinese newspaper there was a battle between the apparatus and technologies such as virtual private networks (VPNs), which allow users to "climb the wall" and look at banned sites.
"So far, the GFW [Great Firewall] is lagging behind and still needs improvement," said the man known as its father.
The rare interview is published in the wake of Hillary Clinton's pledge that the US would spend $25m (£15m) this year helping online users to evade such controls and amid a debate on the role Facebook and Twitter played in uprisings in Egypt and other parts of the region.
China's censorship system – thought to be the most comprehensive and sophisticated in the world – was already under increased scrutiny after Google moved its Chinese search service to Hong Kong last year, citing tightened censorship and intrusions into its system.
Fang, the 50-year-old president of the Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications, confirmed he was head designer for key elements of the great firewall, which filters sensitive keywords and blocks other sites completely, but declined to discuss how it worked.
Earlier this year he closed a microblog within days of opening it after thousands of Chinese users left comments on his account in just three hours – almost all of them critical. They attacked him as "a running dog for the government" and "the enemy of netizens".
"I regard the dirty abuse as a sacrifice for my country," he said.
"They can't get what they want so they need to blame someone emotionally: like if you fail to get a US visa and you slag off the US visa official afterwards."
He compared the firewall to traffic control: "Drivers just obey the rules and so citizens should just play with what they have."
Calls to expand access to information were a soft power threat from overseas, he said.
"Some countries hope North Korea will open up its internet. But if it really did so, other countries would get the upper hand."
Fang said most countries had some controls on internet access.
But Chinese bloggers argue that Beijing's wide-ranging controls on both domestic and overseas material go far beyond the blocks that many countries place on content such as child pornography or terrorist-related material. China not only censors much more content, but has a deliberately opaque system in which no one can be sure who is censoring what, or on what grounds. There is no transparency, still less any possibility of challenging such decisions, as happens in other countries.
Earlier this week, China's foreign ministry spokesman, Ma Zhaoxu, said again that internet users enjoyed freedom of speech "in accordance with the law".
Asked about Clinton's speech, he said: "China objects to any country's interference with China's internal affairs under the banner of internet freedom".
Censors appear to be most concerned by video, Chinese language material and social media such as YouTube, Facebook and Twitter. Human rights group sites and other sensitive material in English is also blocked. But while such measures are a source of frustration to a growing number of people, many users mostly go on the internet for shopping or entertainment, prefer Chinese sites and seem relatively indifferent to the constraints.
Fang revealed that he personally used more than six VPNs at home, but said he only used them "to test which side wins" in the battle between the firewall and VPNs.
"I am not interested in reading messy information like some of that anti-government stuff," he said.
Michael Anti, a well-known Beijing-based journalist and blogger, said Fang was living in a "parallel universe" to most people.
"Even the Chinese government hesitates to talk about censorship. The father of the great firewall thinks it's an honour [to have invented it]. To us, that attitude is worse than the censorship itself," he said.
"The Chinese government keeps strengthening censorship more and more, but information is growing. It's a cat and mouse game."

2015 Ford Focus Gets a Facelift
April 18, 2014 admin Ford News
Making its official debut a few days ago at the New York International Auto Show was the 2015 Ford Focus sedan. At Shults Ford Lincoln of Wexford, we were in love with the 2014 Ford Focus, but the updates to the 2015 model just makes us fall even farther for this amazing sedan.
The revised headlights join a lower grille as just a few subtle updates that were done to the Focus. Also available for the 2015 model is Ford's 1.0-liter three-cylinder EcoBoost engine, which is paired with six-speed manual transmission. To top it off, other mechanical changes include an updated electronic steering rack and suspension changes that make the ride more comfortable.
On the interior, there also seem to be some minor tweaks, including blind-spot detection and lane-keeping assist.
The updates to the 2015 Ford Focus are all the more reason to continue to love the amazing car the Focus has always been!

The 2015 Ford F-150 is Definitely "Built Ford Tough"
To ensure that the 2015 Ford F-150 is every bit as good as its predecessors, Ford put the all-new aluminum bodied frame through the ringer, in a series of tests that would prove the aluminum body of the new F-150 is just as sturdy and is "built Ford tough" as the F-150's before it.
The Ford F-150 has been the best-selling truck in the United States for the past 37 years, as well as the best-selling vehicle period for the past 32 years. At Shults Ford Lincoln of Wexford, we know the 2015 Ford F-150 is going to help continue to tradition of success.
Truck lovers like to throw whatever obstacle they can at their pickup, so Ford had to make sure the new F-150 was ready for anything. The tests included shaking and twisting the pickup in 7 different ways, giving it corrosion and acid baths, seeing how it would handle driving over extremely bumpy terrain, and towing in ridiculously hot weather, among other things.
Interested in watching some of the tests the 2015 Ford F-150 was run through? Check out some of the videos below to see why the Ford F-150 is, and will remain, the best selling truck in America.

2015 Ford Mustang Convertible to Relive History
March 26, 2014 admin Ford News
The last 50 years have proved to be amazing when it comes to the Ford Mustang. This classic American vehicle has made it half a century and is still just as popular as it was when the 1965 Ford Mustang made its debut. To celebrate the past 50 years, Ford has decided to make history with the 'Stang. Or maybe it would be better to say that they are reliving history.
The 1965 Ford Mustang convertible prototype was introduced to the world when it sat atop the Empire State Building in New York City during the 1964 World's Fair. This year, Ford has plans to do the exact same thing with the 2015 Ford Mustang Convertible.
"New York is one of the greatest cities in the world, and it's the place where the Ford Mustang story began 50 years ago. We're thrilled to be visiting the architectural landmark that has been the heart of the Manhattan skyline for 83 years with the newest generation of the car that is the soul of Ford Motor Company," said Mark Fields, Ford chief operating officer.
Not only will the 2015 Ford Mustang convertible be reliving history, it will be making it as well. From all of us at Shults Ford Lincoln of Wexford, happy 50th anniversary to America's favorite car and here's to another 50 wonderful years!

Ford F-Series Super Duty Comes Out on Top Once Again
March 7, 2014 admin Ford News
Ford recently announced that the horsepower and torque of the 6.7-liter Power Stroke turbodiesel V8 engine for 2015 has been increased. With this increase, the Ford F-Series Super Duty has once again started leading the class, with 440 hp and 860 pound-feet of torque, which is enough to allow the Ford F-450 Super Duty tow an impressive 31,200 pounds, which Ford is claiming to be class leading.
For a better comparison to the competition, the Ford F-350 is a better one to look at. Capped at a towing capacity of 26,500 pounds, the Ford F-350 is no slouch, but it's going to take a lot more than that for the F-450 to have any issues.
The ability for the increased power is definitely the talk of the town, and it comes from the increased horsepower and torque in the 6.7-liter Power Stroke turbodiesel V8 engine, not to mention the new fuel injector tips, as well as updated computer controls. The upgrades to the engine aren't the only thing the Ford F-Series Super Duty has seen.

February 28, 2014 admin Lincoln News
Singer, Aloe Blacc, is not a newcomer to partnering up with luxury brands. His single "Wake Me Up" plays in the ad campaigns for the headphones, Beats by Dre. Beats are some of the best headphones money can buy, but it appears that Blacc is moving on to even bigger things with his new partnership with Lincoln.
"Lincoln is a classic luxury brand but reinventing itself in a very modern way, which I can relate to right now as an artist going through a transformation with my music," Blacc stated. Aloe Blacc will be teaming up with Lincoln to make an interactive music video that will play a part in introducing the Lincoln MKZ sedan.
We love Blacc's music just as much as we love Lincoln vehicles. Make sure you check out his up and coming first full-length album 'Lift Your Spirit'!

Fifty Year of Mustang Commemorated in Pinball Machine Game
Stern Pinball is celebrating 50 years of the Ford Mustang in its own way: by creating three modern versions of a Mustang-themed pinball game. It's been ages since we at Shults Ford Lincoln of Wexford have even looked at a pinball machine, but we're definitely looking forward to playing the new, all-things-Mustang game.
What makes this pinball game so much better than other special edition machines? It features the handiwork of Ford GT designer, Camilo Pardo; and as for how it operates, Stern Pinball's executive VP for Game Design, George Gomez, said, "You'll be collecting Mustangs; you'll be modifying Mustangs; you'll be racing Mustangs; you'll be doing all the things that people do with Mustangs."
We mentioned three versions:
The game's first version, the pro-level, is intended for arcades and public spaces. The machine is on display at this year's Chicago Auto Show.
The second version is the premium level. It will include additional art to attract pinball machine collectors.
The third version of the machine is the special edition. This edition is signed and highlights the 50th anniversary with artwork of the 1965 and 2015 Mustangs.
Discounting the pro-level's price tag at just under $5,000, which version of the Mustang Pinball Game would you choose?

Coin collecting is one of the most popular and stable hobbies in the world. Of course, it should be pursued in its own right, but collecting coins can also provide some valuable life skills.
1: Patience. Coin collecting isn't something you can rush, unless you can afford to buy the coin you want at any price, every time. Collectors can spend years searching for the right coin to complete a collection. Collectors understand that racing to clean a newly found coin can damage it, they spend the time and effort to treat their finds properly. Patience is a rare trait in a world that moves at the speed of the internet and this discipline will serve anyone well.
2: Attention to Detail. Numismatics is all about the details. Whether it's going through a roll of coins with a magnifying lens to look for rare errors, or understanding the minuscule differences between lettering on different mintages, the coin collector doesn't let any detail escape them.
3: Selectivity. No collector can get all the coins in the world, and most are only interested in collecting a very narrow range of coins. Collectors can spend a great deal of time examining coins to decide which ones are right for their collection. Learning to pick and choose wisely is a highly regarded skill.
4: Understanding Investment. Coin collecting isn't just a hobby, it's also an investment in the future and a way of preserving the past for future generations. This sense of investment is part of why collectors take such pains to keep their coins in good condition. Thinking in terms of investment and future worth is a skill prized by many successful businessmen.
5: Commitment. Collecting coins isn't something that proves rewarding with only a few hours' work. Learning how to think like a collector and getting the coins you're looking for takes dedication and time, and a willingness to keep at it until you find the coins you're looking for.
6: Long-term thinking. Coin collectors have to think not just about what coins catch their interest now, but also what coins may be attractive in the future, and which ones are most likely to retain their value. Many collectors also put together collections that will benefit their family down the line for a generation or two.
7: Curiosity. Collectors sometimes get billed as stodgy or uptight, but the real defining trait of coin collectors is curiosity. What coins are in that roll? Why does the lettering on this coin look different? What is the story behind this coin? Coin collecting is an increasingly diverse pastime, as more and more people are encouraged to join the hobby and share their unique perspectives.

I'll just start you off with the two best pictures of yesterday. They were so hyped up on excitement and Halloween that this is the best we got.
We drove to a few friends houses who don't live withing walking distance (on kids legs on trick or treating night). Then we walked. Nanny lives just 3 houses up the road.
That's when Bang started complaining that his legs were tired. We made it up the rest of the street, though he was none too happy about it. He was still saying "trick or treat" and thank you politely. He would even throw in, "Zombies in the full moon" after receiving his treat. Crash never really caught on how it worked. He'd knock, say trick or treat, get his treat, say thank you, then just stand there. I'm not sure if he was expecting to be invited inside for tea or coffee or what. Instead of getting off the porch to make room for others, he'd just stand there in Lalaland.
Anyway, Bang only made it a bit further. At his last house he became belligerent and rudely told a gentleman thank you. So I tried to talk to him, tried to reason with him. I would have had better luck reasoning with the lamp post we were standing under. I tried to tell him he need to be polite, not mean. Especially to the people who were giving him treats. He didn't care. His only goal was to get home.
Crash, his mother, his friend, and his friend's mother continued on. At the end of the street there is a couple who do up their house as a haunted house. It's always great fun to see. We usually just trick-or-treat to that house then return home. Bang and I didn't get to that house this year.
Next year, I think Bang will stay home and hand out treats to the dozen or so kids who show up at our place.
Hope everyone had a happy Halloween! Enjoy the taxation without representation. It tastes soooo good!
I hope everyone has fully recovered from trick or treating. Whether you were the one passing out the treats or you were escorting minions to do the tricks, it was a night of fun (mostly).
Sticking to tradition, we traveled to see Crash and Bang's grandparents (Nanny and Guppie), first. We stopped at some friends houses while we were there. One house was done up as a haunted house. Inside was decorated to look like a church, there was a coffin (with a "dead" person lying in it) at the front, while park benches represented pews. There were zombie nuns sitting in those. We both figured Bang (the four year old) would get scared and not want to go in. We couldn't have been more wrong. He was leading the way! He was amazed. "Whoa, awesome!" "Sick!" "Awe man! Look at this!" He loved it. Granted, it was still light out. His story may have changed had it been dark. Maybe not.
We returned to town for a quick supper at McDonald's. In costume. Yes, DW and I were in costume, too. It was a family theme this year. Then we drove to visit a few more friends who lived slightly farther away than walking distance.
Once done driving around, we dumped the loot they had collected to this point in the living room. We threw on some jackets under the costumes because 6C (42F) is kinda chilly. With empty loot bags, we started hoofing it.
I'm hoping it's not just my kid. Well, I know there was at least one other – I heard about another on the radio this morning. We walked to the top of our street, had stopped at about 15 or so houses and Crash said he was ready to go home. Huh? One night of the year you get FREE candy and chips (and sometimes pop, juice boxes or bottles of water) and he's too lazy to walk and go get it? I suppose next year the candy passer outters will deliver to the trick or treaters. You know, so the little tricksters won't have to do all that walking.
Once he realized we weren't turning around because we still had more friends to see and more places to stop along the way, he stopped complaining. Of course, when you're walking with a four year old you have to walk a bit slower. It's more like the zombie shuffle than actual walking. Finally, we had reached the last house at the end of the street – the house we had visited last weekend for the Halloween party. They, too, like to go all out. they were dressed as pirates. Their house was complete with a fog machine, skeleton sailor, and scary lights. Crash and Bang loved it. Bang wanted to stay and play some more. But we had to walk home, trick or treating the other side of the street on the way back.
This is where Bang got tired of walking. Which is baloney because I've seen him walk all day. But it was past his bedtime, so I'll give him that. Once back home, they each got a small treat, then they were up the stairs, washed off their yellow face paint, brushed teeth, and tucked into bed. The "parent tax" was enforced so we helped ourselves to a bit. There's so much though, they won't even notice.
Now to ration it out. Bang was already busted (he ratted himself out, actually) eating four tootsie rolls. He says he gets four because he is four. In that case, I get thirty-nine. Hand 'em over, buddy!
Hope your sugar crash wasn't as bad as your sugar high!
As I sit here staring out the kitchen window wait for whatever it is I'm going to write about today to come through, I see a crow in the bird feeder. Really, it's a bird bath, but we put food in it for the crows. He didn't bring me any ideas either. Not even a shiny thing.
Bang had a short playdate with a friend because our cooking class was cancelled due an unforeseen emergency. So a friend came over. Instead of playing with the toys they played with the mop and vacuum. This is my kind of playdate!
We already gathered up the garbage for Kyle and Lewis. They came with their big garbage truck to pick up our garbage. The recycling truck is here now. This is also a big deal. Bang plasters himself to the window to watch. Though, he doesn't like to get close. He says they're too loud.
We are currently sitting here watching Justin Time and eating apples. After lunch is finished, we'll be heading out to take down the trampoline. Time to winterize it by putting it away. While it does open a good bit of space in the backyard, it's also an easy source of entertainment and exercise.
Halloween is coming up. We've received an invite to a Halloween party this weekend. Unfortunately, it's in Australia. So I think we'll have to decline this year. We'll go trick or treating instead. We've developed a bit of a Halloween tradition since moving here.
First we go see Nanny and Guppy in the next town over. They love to see the kids and they always put together a wicked treat bag for the kids. We visit a couple friends houses while we're there. Then it's back to our town for supper at McDonald's. Something fast and easy so we can get back to candy collecting. Then we visit Nanny and Pop. Again, another wicked treat bag for the kids. We'll walk around the block trick or treating. Then drive to a few friends houses.
Back home we consolidate the loot, give the kids one small treat from the pile, then ship them off to bed. We don't get many trick or treaters where we live. We just leave a bowl of treats on the front porch with a note instructing the treaters to take one or two. Sometime there is still some left when we get home, sometimes it's gone. Either way works for us. We enjoy going out more than we do staying home and handing out. It's a family event for us.
We have some fun costumes this year. It's the first year we've all dressed to the same theme. I won't give it away until after Halloween, though. Sorry, not sorry. Some have seen it since we were just at a kids Halloween party last weekend. Some parents, including DW and I dressed up as well.
So we're just hanging out on this regular Tuesday. We have some jobs to do. But mostly we're just anxiously waiting to go trick-or-treating.

We are a traveling family and I think as an expat it seems we travel more than most. We are blessed that we have friends in various countries and that both of mine and Mr P's families are in different countries is a plus and minus. It seems we fly around the world with our kids a lot but we are always staying with friends and family every time which makes it easy and affordable for us. But every other year we like to take a big family vacation just the four of us.
When we do our immediate family holidays I like to plan from my kids' perspective. I look for things that are going to make them happy and excite them. After all, it's about them when it comes to this type of traveling not what the entire extended family want or anyone else. Our last big family holiday was to Lanzarote and we planned it so well it went flawless, which is rare for us if you follow my travel posts. It still is one of the best holidays I have ever gone on.
Here are 6 top tips to plan the very best kids' holiday!
1. Pick a destination that is family / child friendly. That means food, drinks, weather, entertainment, pools all for kids.
2. Search online for package holidays because you will get more options and more reviews from actual families that have experienced it first hand, to help choose an accommodation. It's also less stressful for you to book everything together. They can tell you what's available for various kids' ages at each location.
3. Plan fun days at the hotel or villa and plan fun days out and about. Kids need down time as much as adults when traveling. So don't overwhelm them with a few full days out and about, back to back. Spread your big adventures out a little from each other. A tire child is not a fun holiday for anyone.
4. Look for kids clubs or soft play areas. A lot of hotels and villas now have these available for children. The kids love time away from their parents as much as parents do. Why not put them in kids club for a few hours in the morning grab yourself a spa session or a margarita by the pool. Whatever you prefer!
5. Check out the food options. Most children are picky its a known fact. If you have a children that's less than willing to try new foods make sure wherever you are staying has a little market or has things on the restaurant or hotel menu that your child is willing to eat. Especially if you are traveling to an exotic place that doesn't speak good english.
6. Think like a child. It wasn't very long ago we were kids ourselves. What did you like to do at the age of your children? I always try to think in their shoes. What would wow them? Would it be seeing animals or water slides? Or both? Kids' have great imaginations so use yours too. A day at the beach making their favorite disney character sandcastles is like disneyland to them. Make sure to pack those disney character sandcastle buckets for them. Preparation is the key here.
I love our big family holidays because it's quality time together, making memories with each other. I love my family and friend holidays too, of course I do. But there is something so very special about just the four of us too. I love that we can have a mixture of both types of holidays for our kids and show them the world and give them memories that will last forever.
What do you look for when you are planning holidays around children? Do you prefer to stay local or go abroad for family holidays? Would love to read your comments.
I am honored to have made it to the Brilliance in Blogging 2015 Shortlist for VIDEO! I would be so grateful if you could take a minute to vote for Let's Talk Mommy.
Thank you all for reading and your continual support.
If you haven't seen my videos check them out here.
We are in a similar position, Jenny, with family and friends all over the place, but you're right… There is something special about getting away… Just your little family unit. Really helpful post!
Thanks hunny. There will be lots more tips coming as we prepare for our next trip it really is nice both kinds of vacations for sure. Different memories but all great ones.
Oh yes it really does change it up. I will be blogging more about traveling with children as I prepare for Spain and USA next month.
Great tips Jenny! You're absolutely right that preparation is key and that you should think like a child! After all, it's their holiday too.
I love all the preparation of a holiday whether we are off camping or heading to Florida, and most of our holidays are just the 4 of us, though we have had some amazing times away with friends. We have just returned from Majorca and this is the first holiday both the children went off and made friends. It was lovely to see and it did mean hubby and I got the chance to chill in the bar whilst keeping an eye on them.
Oh that does sound amazing. I can't wait for those kind of holidays too. They make it for everyone when they can make friends. Thanks hunny.
Spot on! it is always more complicated to travel with kids, but finding the right place that allows everyone in the family to enjoy the holidays is the key! This year it will be our first holiday all together since my princess was born, hopefully it will just fine! Thanks for the tips Jenny!
Thanks Sandra. I am sure it will be amazing. You would be surprised how quick kids adapt and travel better than we give them credit for. To them getting on a plane must be so weird not knowing why they are being ushered into tiny seats lined up and told to sit and be quiet and all these people around them strangers. They love the intriguing aspects of it all.

Good News: Idaho Family Builds Neighborhood Food Pantry
For his third birthday this year, Miles Herndon wanted to build something and since his parents already use the kids' birthdays as a time to give back, the family decided to make a Little Free Pantryfor anyone in need in the community.
The Boise, Idaho family asked friends and family to bring canned goods instead of presents to Miles' birthday party to be used to stock the pantry.
Macy Miller, Miles' mom, says they had a $40 budget to build the Little Free Pantry and used recycled materials to create it.
They keep it stocked with canned food, baby items, and other necessities, and throw in fun stuff like water guns and crayons when they can, and some neighbors help fill it as well.
"It's helping people and that's great, we've never once had it taken advantage of," Miller explains."Take what you need, leave what you can. It's just giving. Everyone's got their times of need."

Discussion in 'Amps and Cabs [BG]' started by patrickj, Oct 12, 2002.
how ****ed am i? do i need a whole new speaker? is there anything i can do (some sort of super-glue compound) to repair it without replacing the cone?
it's in the surround (accordion), not the actual cone - if this helps one way or another..
Use a flexible epoxy if you can. The idea is to contain the tear so it doesn't spread.
What I've done in occasions like this is apply a small amount of Bison kit (the rubbery stuff, I believe it's sold outside of holland under that name but look it up, it's a very common adhesive http://www.bison.net/servlet/ProductServlet20?cmd=show&id=10686, versions by other manufacturers are ok too) onto the hole or tear on both sides making a patch. No toiletpaper or anything, just the kit. Works like a charm, and if you use the black version it's hardly noticeable too. I would definately not use epoxy as it isn't flexible.
thanks all! now fixed (and play tested).. I used a silicone sealer/adhesive designed for aquariums. waterproof, won't crack, very flexible, etc.
If it is beer resistant I might need to line my stomach with it. Glad to hear you got the tear sorted out Patrick.


Taylor and Wesley booked a cruise ship tour along the Caribbean for their first-year anniversary. After a few days of sailing, they stopped at Old San Juan, where I met them, champagne bottle in hand, for their anniversary vacation photos.
I showed them around town, taking scenic vacation portraits for them. It was quite a calm morning, but really hot, so at one point we stopped at a coffee shop for air conditioning and changing to lighter clothes.
We finished the morning at the beach, with its soft lighting and beautiful weather, we ended up with very relaxed portraits. Day-drinking approved. Cheers to the happy couple!


A collection of photographs I took for designer Isabelle Quinn a little while ago.
This afternoon was relaxed and playful. The weather was overcast and wet on the Gold Coast and so we made a pop up studio in Izzy's fiancé's office. We used the natural light that was coming through the large glass windows behind us. Together we all shared a few glasses of Yellowglen Yellow bubbly and continued with the shoot. It was a fun afternoon and we captured 6 looks.

Q: How long will it take a tech to arrive once I make the call to the locksmith service provider's dispatch?
Since many situations calling for a locksmith's assistance are emergency type situations a good locksmith service provider will make certain their techs arrive quickly. At In & Out Locksmith we guarantee a fast response time to anywhere in Dallas.
Q: When can I get a locksmith service?
Since locksmith services may become needed unexpectedly at absolutely anytime, many locksmith service offer (as do we at In & Out Locksmith) 24/7, 365 days a year service.


Post subject: OpenLoco now exists!
OpenLoco now exists, looks like by the OpenRCT2 team.
Should therefore actually come to fruition.
Funnily, Google search of OpenLoco brings up their github.com first, then an April fools from 2009 here.
Post subject: Re: OpenLoco now exists!
I hope it gets somewhere, it would be a shame to see it die before we can actually have an improved modern version of Locomotion just like what OpenRCT2 has done for Roller Coaster tycoon 2.
I hope we can get new features like larger maps and bigger content limits in the future.
Really ? I have been working for Loco mod czechrepublic for three years now.
Has anyone tried that out yet?
How big are the maps? And how many vehicles can you use?
This is kind of a big deal isn't it?
Fingers crossed it keeps its momentum. I'll see if there's a way to support the team.
I tested openloco for the first time yesterday. The features are very minimal however the project has just started. It works great, but there is one thing i still wish they would fix.
[quote="The features are very minimal however the project has just started.
If they need sprites, maybe I can give some for roads and trams, but I am not sure if they have enough quality (also the lines don't fit in slopes).
Also, I have drawn some terrain sprites, but I don't know if they fit the quality requirements of the project, and the shape needs some tweeaking in some sprites, because these sprites were made for me, not as a Locomotion replacement (not very difficult).
Also, lots of sprites could be made using OpenTTD sprites.
Note: You can be sure that the most difficult part here is the sourcecode, I have tried to create something simple, and It was very difficult.
then an April fools from 2009 here.
Link me, I am curious.
That's the plan! It's going to take a while, but then, what doesn't?
We get asked this a lot over OpenRCT2, and the answer is the same here as it is there: Give us your Bug Reports, your Code Patches, your Free Graphics Packs and Music. And tell others! We specifically don't want money, lest we anger the sleeping giant known as Atari.
Just a question: is my proposal interesting for the project?
I mean, ideally we want a full graphics pack capable of replacing all of the vanilla graphics. Bits and pieces probably won't look great all mixed up.
Maybe you can find useful OpenGFX from OpenTTD, I cannot help you because it has lot of programming, but a lot of work is done.
It could be interesting to allow users to set up an alternative folder for "free DAT files", if a certain DAT file is placed here, it is read instead of the original DAT file. This could make easier the development of the assets, because you don't need to have all them at once.
If you are interested, we can start a thread about "OpenGFX fork for OpenLoco" or your favourite name.
Unfortunately, building OpenGFX (5) is above my skills. I don't know if at least we can use it to create the sprites, and then, create the DAT files.
Maybe I can help modelling some sprites... but... I am not sure about this.
The biggest advantage, is that most of the sprites will fall in the same style and lots of them only need some tweaks to be ready for OpenLoco.
Can someone please post a compiled version? I just installed an old Locomotion CD, only to find out there's no precompiled OpenLoco.
But before that the files were compiled several times before. Here the last version.


Today, I will be showing you how to install the new Deathstar add-on on Kodi 18 Leia and Kodi 17 Krypton..

Fawzi Selu (1905–1972) () was a Syrian military leader, politician and the President of Syria from December 3, 1951, to July 11, 1953.

Career

He studied at the Homs Military Academy and joined the French-sponsored Troupe Speciales that was created when France imposed its League of Nations mandate on Syria in July 1920. He had a successful military career, and when Syria became fully independent in 1946, he became the director of the academy. He was given a command in the 1948 Arab-Israeli War where he became close to chief of staff Husni al-Za'im. When Za'im came to power in a coup in March 1949, he appointed Selu military attaché to the Syrian-Israeli armistice talks, and he became the principal architect of the cease-fire that was signed in July of that year. Selu, supported by Za'im, demonstrated a willingness to pursue a comprehensive peace settlement with Israel, including a final border agreement, Palestinian refugees, and the establishment of a Syrian embassy in Tel Aviv. However Za'im was overthrown and killed, and civilian rule was restored with the administration of the nationalist Hashim al-Atassi. Atassi upheld the armistice agreement, but refused to consider peace with Israel. Selu then allied himself with military strongman general Adib al-Shishakli, who contrived to have Selu appointed minister of defense in three cabinets under president Atassi. Shishakli finally launched a coup in November 1951, but could not persuade the popular Atassi to stay on as president, who resigned in protest. As a result, Shishakli appointed Selu as president, prime minister and chief of staff, while retaining real power for himself with the less public role of deputy chief of staff. The two men ran a police state and suppressed virtually all opposition. Under the direction of Shishakli, Selu improved relations with Jordan, opening the first Syrian embassy in Amman and befriending King Talal. He also sought better relations with Lebanon, Egypt and Saudi Arabia.

On July 11, 1953, Shishakli finally dispensed Selu and appointed himself as president. When Shishakli was overthrown in February 1954, a military court in Damascus charged Selu with corruption, misuse of office, and unlawful amendment of the constitution. Selu fled to Saudi Arabia and became an advisor to King Saud and then his brother King Faisal. He was sentenced to death in absentia. After the overthrowing of the government that sentenced him to death, he was later pardoned by the new government and returned to Damascus. Retiring from politics, he later died in the Harasta Military Hospital at the age of 67 years old, on April 29, 1972.

A  é um esporte jogado entre duas equipes, cada qual tendo direito a seis bochas (bolas) na modalidade trio, quatro bochas na modalidade de duplas – duas para cada atleta –, e quatro também na modalidade individual.

O esporte consiste em lançar bochas (bolas) e situá-las o mais perto possível de um bolim (bola pequena), previamente lançado. O adversário, por sua vez, tentará situar as suas bolas mais perto ainda do bolim, ou "remover" as bolas dos seus oponentes. As canchas devem ter dimensões de 30,50 metros de comprimento, 4 metros de largura e altura uniforme de 30 cm. Com prévia autorização da Comissão Técnica Arbitral Internacional - CTAI, da Confederação Sul-americana de Bocha - CSB e da Confederação Brasileira de Bocha e Bolão - CBBB poderão ser utilizadas canchas com dimensões de 24 m a 27 m de comprimento. A maioria de pessoas que pratica o esporte é composta de idosos, mas o quadro vem mudando nos últimos anos com a adesão de jovens ao esporte.

A origem da bocha (conforme alguns historiadores) remonta a um jogo praticado no Antigo Egito e na Antiga Grécia, em que se usavam objetos de formatos esféricos - pedras redondas.

História
Para Roger Nelson Steiger, no livro: "O emocionante espetacular esporte da bocha", parece, entretanto, não haver dúvidas que o jogo de bocha é de origem italiana e de que seu surgimento se deu no tempo do Império Romano, quando era praticado com o nome de "boccie", sendo durante a expansão do Império levado pelos exércitos de ocupação a todos os povos por eles dominados.

Segundo o autor, já em 1500, o boccie era praticado na França, Itália, Espanha, Portugal, Inglaterra, tendo sofrido daquele tempo até hoje várias transformações e agora é visto como um esporte de considerável prestígio internacional.

Os latinos o propagaram profundamente durante a Idade Média, sendo o mesmo tão popular que é praticado nas praças públicas e nas ruas, a tal ponto que Carlos IV em 1319, e também Carlos V e mais tarde o Patriarca de Veneza, em 1576, foram obrigados a proibir a sua prática.

Hoje em dia a prática deste esporte vem evoluindo cada dia mais, pois é um esporte atrativo que envolve desde crianças até idosos. Hoje, o bocha é mais praticado em canchas sintéticas,de que não necessita tanto esforço para lançar as bolas, ao contrário da areia de que exige mais força.

Bocha no Brasil

Esta prática foi trazida para a América pelos imigrantes italianos, primeiro para a Argentina e mais tarde para outros países. Os estados de São Paulo, Santa Catarina e Rio Grande do Sul, que receberam grandes concentrações de imigrantes vindos da Itália,  foram responsáveis pelo início do esporte no Brasil, que posteriormente se espalhou por Paraná, Rio de Janeiro, Espírito Santo e Minas Gerais.

Este esporte vem sendo praticado em clubes, centros comunitários, empresas, sindicatos, paróquias, praças, praias e CTGs.

O Brasil se fez representar em diversos campeonatos Sul americanos, a partir de 1951. O primeiro Campeonato Brasileiro de Bocha foi realizado em 1964, na cidade de São Paulo, com a participação do Rio Grande do Sul, São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro e Minas Gerais, sagrando-se vencedora a equipe do Rio Grande do Sul. Em 1987, na cidade de São Caetano do Sul, em São Paulo realizou-se o 1º Campeonato Brasileiro Feminino de Bocha. O primeiro Campeonato Sul-Americano de Bocha foi realizado na cidade de Buenos Aires, Argentina, no ano de 1994.

Em setembro de 2006 o Brasil conquistou seu primeiro Campeonato Mundial de Clubes de Bocha, realizado na cidade de Montenegro, no estado do Rio Grande do Sul, numa vitória da equipe do Círculo Militar de São Paulo contra a equipe da Itália. Integrou a equipe campeã brasileira Alfredo Piovacari (Tico), Maurício Vanetti, José Grizuella (Flaco) e André Backs.

Um dos maiores jogadores de bocha no Brasil é José Mazzer, mais conhecido como Zé do Salto. Reside atualmente na cidade de Salto (São Paulo) e possui no currículo, dentre muitos outros, 8 títulos dos Jogos Abertos do Interior (sendo o último deles conquistado em 2019 em Marília pela equipe de Jaú) e 10 Campeonatos Brasileiros. Zé do Salto é chamado de Pelé da Bocha, devido aos seus feitos no esporte.

Organização

A bocha atualmente é um esporte organizado em todos os níveis: jovens, adultos e veteranos.

Existe a Confederação Mundial de Bocha e, na América Latina, há a Confederação Sul-Americana de Bocha. No Brasil foi reconhecido como esporte em 1943, no entanto, só ocorreu sua filiação à Confederação Sul-Americana em 1950. A Confederação Brasileira de Bocha tem como filiadas a Federação de Bocha do Paraná, Federação Paulista de Bocha, Federação Bochófila do Estado do Rio de Janeiro, Federação Rio Grandense de Bocha, Federação Brasiliense de Bocha, Federação Catarinense de Bocha, Federação Espírito-santense de Bocha, Federação Mato-grossense de Bocha, Federação Mato Grosso do Sul de Bocha e Federação Mineira Bochófila.

Os clubes são filiados em sua maioria em ligas municipais e regionais. Federações nos estados filiadas à Confederação, que é filiada à Federação Sul-Americana de Bocha.
a bocha é praticada principalmente por pessoas idosas
Em 1944, em Buenos Aires, foi realizado o primeiro Campeonato Sul-Americano de Bocha, mas o Brasil só foi representado no ano de 1957. O primeiro Campeonato Mundial de Bocha foi em 1951.

A partir da década de 1960 a bocha firmou-se no Brasil, com a evolução técnica dos atletas, além da conquista de novos adeptos. Em 1966 as mulheres iniciaram sua participação.

Hoje os jovens são em grande maioria os que disputam os campeonatos estaduais e nacional, tanto feminino como masculino. Apesar do velho conceito de que a bocha é "esporte para idosos", a bocha é praticada por pessoas de todas as idades. É possível encontrar atletas vivendo do esporte da bocha. Nos clubes ainda encontramos canchas naturais, no entanto, os Campeonatos Estaduais são realizados em canchas sintéticas.

Altamente difundido, o Jogo de Bocha atualmente vem sendo jogado em seis categorias diferentes: Categoria "A"; Categoria "B"; Veteranos; Juvenis; Feminino, e Duplas ou Trios Mistos.

Boccia em Portugal

Em Portugal o termo Boccia (ˈbɔttʃa), termo em italiano que se lê "botchia", difere da Petanca e do Bowling pois aplica-se ao desporto paraolímpico.

O Boccia surgiu em Portugal em 1983, no âmbito de um curso organizado pela Associação Portuguesa de Paralisia Cerebral, sendo que no ano seguinte já fez parte, na qualidade de modalidade de demonstração, do campeonato nacional para a paralisia cerebral.

Sendo uma modalidade paralímpica desde 1984, o palmarés dos portugueses colocavam-nos, em 2017, em primeiro no nível mundial no total de medalhas com 26 medalhas conquistadas, (8 de ouro, 10 de prata e 8 de bronze), mais que qualquer outro país, excepto a Coreia do Sul que tem mais uma medalha de ouro.

Regras

O jogo de bocha consiste no arremesso das bochas sobre uma cancha sintética, de terra batida ou de saibro, visando posicioná-las o mais próximo possível do bolim - uma bocha menor que as demais, que serve como referência para a marcação dos pontos.

Iniciam-se as partidas individuais com o arremesso do bolim pelo jogador que logrou mais pontos na partida anterior, o qual tem ainda o direito de arremessar a primeira bocha.

Antigamente eram permitidas as "lagarteadas", isto é, arremessar a bocha com força rolando em vez de arremessá-la pelo ar. Atualmente as regras determinam distâncias específicas para as áreas a serem atingidas pelos bochaços. O "bochaço" ocorre quando, em sua vez de jogar, o atleta conclui não haver outra maneira de ficar mais próximo ao bolim do que seu adversário.

A: enum Deraction {goUp, goDown};
Deraction UpDown;
This is correct. Your problem is that you are not using UpDown later. Instead, you are writing Deraction Down = Deraction.goDown; which does not affect UpDown.
Change your code to assign to UpDown.
Example:
private void keyIsUp(object sender, KeyEventArgs e) // looks if the player wants to go up or down if not then makes the player stand still
{
    if (e.KeyCode == Keys.Up)
    {

    }
    else if (e.KeyCode == Keys.Down)
    {
        UpDown = Deraction.goDown;
    }
}
private void keyIsDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e) // looks if the player wants to go up or down if so makes the player go up and down
{
    if (e.KeyCode == Keys.Down)
    {
        UpDown = Deraction.goDown;
    }
    else if (e.KeyCode == Keys.Up)
    {
        UpDown = Deraction.goUp;
    }
}
