Crane Hot Line announces that DICA has added a fourth patent to its SafetyTech® outrigger pads. The most recent U.S. patent, issued in February 2016 (No. 9,254,821) is for C- or U-shaped TuffGrip handles used with any size or shape of SafetyTech pad.
DICA's SafetyTech products are designed to be strong and unbreakable, delivering the consistent engineered performance that our customers and their crews rely on every day.
DICA has added a fourth patent to its SafetyTech® outrigger pads. The most recent U.S. patent, issued in February 2016 (No. 9,254,821) is for C- or U-shaped TuffGrip handles used with any size or shape of SafetyTech pad.
"DICA's SafetyTech products are designed to be strong and unbreakable, delivering the consistent engineered performance that our customers and their crews rely on every day. We are very happy to have received this new patent, which is reflective of the thinking, design and engineering our team puts into every DICA product," said Kris Koberg, CEO.
The TuffGrip handle system was introduced in 2011 to help improve the long term durability of DICA outrigger pad products and provide an increased level of ergonomic safety for operators handling SafetyTech outrigger pads. Handle length is a small but important example of the innovative thinking in DICA's TuffGrip handle design. Handle length is specifically designed to encourage proper lifting that requires bending and lifting with the legs. The handle length also helps minimize trip hazards on the job site and, when being carried, reduces the "flopping around" of the pad common with excessively long handles.
In addition, recessed handles are a key innovation on all round SafetyTech outrigger pads. The design allows for easy rolling of larger pads which reduces lifting stress and the potential for back injuries. Lastly, the TuffGrip handle material itself is an incredibly strong, yet comfortable, engineered thermoplastic. It's backed by DICA's unbreakable guarantee and resistant to UV degradation and chemical or water corrosion.
In addition to this newest United States patent, DICA also holds two other U.S. patents (8,814,121 and D686,794) and one Canadian patent (2,821,073) for the seating, insertion, and anchorage methods used for TuffGrip handles on various SafetyTech products.
The first of these patents was received in 2013, and additional patents are currently pending in both the United States and Canada.
DICA, Guthrie Center, Iowa, has been specializing in building a better outrigger pad since 1988. By creating engineered solutions for improving equipment stability and ergonomic safety, DICA is leading the way in product innovation for outrigger pads and crane pads.
DICA outrigger pads and crane pads are used in 38 countries and on 6 continents around the world in construction, maintenance, electrical utility, oil and gas and tree care as well as local, state and federal government agencies. Learn more at http://www.dicausa.com.

Q: Why I am getting empty BehaviorSubject when accessing by url I have such problem I am making demonstrative web page that rely on the blog system in angular8.
The issue occurs there:
when I am using web link to route to the specified post unrolled then it works. But when I am using directly
/post-details/3 it does not.
posts.component.ts
  postDetailsClick(i){
    this.getSharedBodies.subject.next(this.body);  //setting BehaviorSubject
    this.getSharedTitles.subject.next(this.titles);
    this.router.navigate(['/post-details', i]);
  }

posts.component.html:
<mat-grid-list cols="3" rowHeight="150px">
    <mat-grid-tile
        *ngFor="let post of showPosts; let i = index"
        [colspan]="post.cols"
        [rowspan]="post.rows"
        [style.background]="post.color">
      {{post.text}}

<button  (click)="postDetailsClick(i)" >Try it</button>

    </mat-grid-tile>
  </mat-grid-list>

post-details.component.html
export class PostDetailsComponent implements OnInit {
  indexOfPost;
  titles;
  // bodies = [];

  subscription: Subscription;
  renderPost:boolean=false;
  constructor(private activatedRoute:ActivatedRoute,private getSharedTitles:ShareInfoTitleService,private getSharedBodies: ShareInfoBodyService) {}

  ngOnInit() {
    this.indexOfPost=this.activatedRoute.snapshot.paramMap.get("id");
    console.log(this.getSharedTitles.subject.asObservable());

  }
}

line: console.log(this.getSharedTitles.subject.asObservable());
returns null observable when accessed directly by the url. But when clicked button it works properly.
export class ShareInfoTitleService {
  subject = new BehaviorSubject<any>(null);
  constructor() { }
  sendMessage(message: any[]) {
    this.subject.next({ titles: message });
  }
  clearMessages() {
    this.subject.next(null);
  }
  getMessage(): Observable<any> {
    return this.subject.asObservable();
  }
}

A: The problem is that you provide value to your BehaviorSubject only on click, so when you enter your component by link, last data in your BS is propably null. You must provide some data on start of component to get it.

"Moncler: A Tribute to New York"
Moncler Celebrates Madison Avenue Flagship
"Moncler: A Tribute to New York" comprises a special collection designed by Thom Browne and a video-music film realized by Spike Lee.
By Luisa Zargani on November 16, 2016
MILAN — Moncler will celebrate New York today with a special collection designed by Thom Browne and a video-music film realized by Spike Lee. The projects mark the official opening of the brand's Madison Avenue flagship, its biggest unit in the world. The American market is key for the luxury brand and, to wit, the event is titled "Moncler: A Tribute to New York."
The boutique, covering 6,500 square feet, is the brand's second location in Manhattan after its Prince Street venue, which opened in 2009, and its 20th location in the Americas.
"Coming to Madison Avenue is a significant step in solidifying the brand's global footprint," said Moncler chairman and chief executive officer Remo Ruffini. "This 59th Street intersection is at the retail heart of Manhattan and one of the busiest crossroads in the world. With our Prince Street location, we took our first steps towards establishing our retail presence and speaking to our customers in a very specific and intimate environment. With this location, we are taking a global approach by bringing together all the elements which compose the 'world of Moncler' to elevate and expand our brand identity."


261 Fearless is a global women's running network with the goal of reaching more women all around the world in order to break down the barriers, connect and empower them through running.
Every runner knows how empowering putting on a pair of trainers can be, and how the simple act of putting one foot in front of the other can have a positive impact in all areas of our lives. Running in a supportive, non-judgmental environment gives every woman the opportunity to experience the joys of running. This is why we want to extend our 261 club network: to provide the support community and the encouragement that women need, especially for those with the greatest barriers, enabling them to discover strength and fearlessness by belonging to a 261 club.
Quite simply, the more clubs we have, the more women we can reach.
We don't want finance to be a barrier that stops women from being part of 261 Fearless and bringing 261 clubs to their community. Women of low income and in less developed areas of the world have an extra obstacle to overcome and this is one we want to help with. We place a large emphasis on fundraising in our activities to educate women to become 261 Club Directors and/or 261 Coaches and support them everywhere on this planet.
Our Master Coaches undertake a yearlong educational program that equips them to seek out women who are suitable to start a 261 club, lead training courses for new 261 coaches and educate and support Club Directors to establish clubs in their communities.
Facilitated by our Master Coaches, women complete a three-day certification course to learn the tools to start and lead their own 261 clubs. They can then take their knowledge and skills right to the heart of their own communities and bring the joy of running to many women. 261 Fearless provides an ongoing support an ongoing education to certified Club Directors and Coaches to help them develop and grow.
When our newly trained Club Directors want to establish their club there are often administrative and legal fees to pay (the amount varies between regions). This can be a barrier preventing women from setting up clubs. There are also expenses incurred when marketing clubs including promotion materials and social media support.
Weekly, monthly or annual club fees can be a struggle for women on low income and this should never be a barrier to participation. We want to reach women from all backgrounds and socio-economic groups.
Women have enough barriers and obstacles to face when trying to get and stay active. We don't want finance to be one of them. We are so grateful to our fundraisers who enable us to continue working to provide opportunities for local women and communities throughout the world.
We would like to thank all of our donors SO MUCH! You help us to make a difference for women - GLOBALLY!

Q: SassError: Can't find stylesheet to import. @use '~@angular/material' as mat; I created an Angular project using the CLI. I'm using SCSS, and I included Angular Material with a custom theme iirc. I added a couple dummy components, and the app still built fine. Then I needed to style my components using Angular Material. In order to do so, I added @use '~@angular/material' as mat; to the first line of my style.scss file. Once I did this, the app will no longer build. It always throws the following error:
ERROR in ./src/styles.scss (./node_modules/css-loader/dist/cjs.js??ref--13-1!./node_modules/postcss-loader/src??embedded!./node_modules/resolve-url-loader??ref--13-3!./node_modules/sass-loader/dist/cjs.js??ref--13-4!./src/styles.scss)

A: For Angular 13 try to remove tilde symbol (~) from the path so import like:
@use '@angular/material' as mat;

It works like a charm.

A: I was having a similar issue and @darko99 helped me with his comment. If I change @use '@angular/material' as mat; to @use 'node_modules/@angular/material' as mat; I stop getting the SassError in the terminal. But instead of adding node_modules/ on each @use we can also add the following in angular.json under architect/build/options:
 "stylePreprocessorOptions": {
   "includePaths": [
     "node_modules/",
     ...
   ]
 }

A: As usual with Google APIs, there is confusion between Angular Material version 11 and version 12.
[Short answer]
In SCSS, they seem to have deprecated use of @import favouring @use syntax. It seems Angular Material implemented this change somewhere around v11->12
(am also a newbie. This is my best guess).
Watch this YouTube video to get a general idea of the difference.
There is a reason why Google Angular is the most dreaded framework of 2020 on Stack Overflow :)
So it depends on the Angular Material version you are using
[Long answer]
In Angular Material v11, they seem to use @import syntax, and in v12 they seem to favour @use syntax.
Therefore, you seem to be trying to use a tutorial or theme designed with Angular Material v11 in mind which uses @import syntax and you mix it with @use syntax of Angular Material v12. The biggest difference between the two is that @use syntax causes the SCSS to be prefixed, so the function names change slightly, for example
//angular material v11 which uses @import syntax
@import '~@angular/material/theming';//notice that the file imported is also different
@include mat-core();

$candy-app-primary: mat-palette($mat-indigo); //notice that functions not Namespaced

$candy-app-accent:  mat-palette($mat-pink, A200, A100, A400);

While the same example using angular material v12 which uses @use syntax
@use '~@angular/material' as mat;

$candy-app-primary: mat.define-palette(mat.$indigo-palette, 500); //notice that functions are prefixed with Namespace mat. This is a feature of the scss @use  directive
$candy-app-accent: mat.define-palette(mat.$pink-palette, A200, A100, A400);

[I have yet to find a way to find the correct function names across the 2 versions. It is not trivial to migrate a theme manually especially when you are a newbie]
So you can see, its easy to have a missing stylesheet depending on if you are using Material v11 or 12. Good luck

A: try this way:
@use '@angular/material' as mat;

without the  ~  symbol.
hope it works for you

A:
@use 'node_modules/@angular/material' as mat;

Above code worked for me.
Node version was 14.16.0, angular 12.x and IDE was Visual Studio.

A: Apparently, I had been reading the wrong documentation for my version. The above code has two things that needed to be changed for it to work for me.

*

*You don't do @use '~@angular/material' as mat;. The important line is @import '~@angular/material/theming';, which was already put in the file by the CLI.

*It's not @include elevation(16);, it's @include mat-elevation(16);.

A: If anyone gets this error again, the following helped me:
I had the same issue, I deleted my custom angular theme and forgot to remove the Path styles from angular.json file, then changed @use '~@angular/material' as mat; to @use '@angular/material' as mat;.
After I removed the styles path for customer I updated angular material. Then just reset your using VSCode because it sometimes does not refresh on its own.

A: Had similar issue. This helped me:

In Nx or Angular v15 - remove ' ~ ' stuff.

New nanozyme test can help curb Ebola spread in western Africa
A new Ebola test that uses magnetic nanoparticles could help curb the spread of the disease in western Africa. Research published in Biosensors and Bioelectronics shows that the new test is 100 times more sensitive than the current test, and easier to use. Because of this, the new test makes it easier and cheaper to diagnose cases, enabling healthcare workers to isolate patients and prevent the spread of Ebola.
The authors of the study, from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, say their new technology could be applied to the detection of any biological molecules, making it useful to diagnose other infectious diseases, like flu, and potentially detect tumors and even contamination in wastewater.
The Ebola virus causes an acute illness that is deadly in half of all cases, on average. The current outbreak of Ebola, which started in March 2014, affects countries in west Africa. In the most severely affected countries, like Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone, resources are limited, making control of the outbreak challenging. There is no vaccine for Ebola, so detecting the virus is key to controlling the outbreak: with an accurate diagnosis, patients can be isolated and treated properly, reducing the risk of spread.
"In west Africa, resources are under pressure, so complicated, expensive tests are not very helpful," said Professor Xiyun Yan, one of the authors of the study from the Chinese Academy of Sciences. "Our new strip test is a simple, one-step test that is cheap and easy to use, and provides a visible signal, which means people don't need training to use it. We think it will be especially helpful in rural areas, where technical equipment and skills are not available."
Currently there are two ways to test for the Ebola virus: using a method called polymerase chain reaction (PCR), which makes copies of the molecules for detection, and with antibody-capture enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), which gives a visual indication when a given molecule is in a sample. PCR is very sensitive, but is expensive and complicated, requiring special skills and technical equipment. The ELISA - or gold strip test - is cheaper but sensitivity is very low, which means it often gives the wrong results.

An injection of nanoparticles for spinal cord injuries
The new test, called the nanozyme test, uses magnetic nanoparticles, which work like enzymes to make the signal stronger, giving a clearer result you can see with the naked eye. The test can detect much smaller amounts of the virus, and is 100 times more sensitive than the gold strip test.
"People have loved the strip test for many years, but it has a major weakness: it's not sensitive enough. We're very excited about our new nanozyme test, as it is much more sensitive and you don't need any specialist equipment to get a quick, accurate result," said Dr. Yan.
Strip tests work by attaching molecules called antibodies to gold particles to look for a particular molecule in a sample. When they attach to the molecule you're looking for, in this case a virus, they produce a signal, such as a color change. In order to find the virus, the particles need to be labelled with enzymes, which speed up detection and signalling.
With the new nanozyme test, the researchers applied magnetic nanoparticles as a nanozyme probe in place of gold nanoparticles. After labeling with an antibody that attaches to the Ebola virus, this novel probe is able to recognize and separate the virus in a sample. The nanoparticles are magnetic, so to concentrate the virus particles in a sample, all you need to do is hold the sample against a magnet; no expensive equipment is needed.
The nanozyme test is 100 times more sensitive than the gold strip test, detecting molecules called glycoproteins on the surface of the Ebola virus at concentrations as low as 1 nanogram per milliliter.
The researchers have applied for a patent for the new test, which is currently being taken to west Africa by the CDC to use in the field. The researchers are also collaborating with clinical teams to apply the technology to other diseases, and with a company that treats wastewater to see if it can help remove environmental contamination.

← Out of Australia (2): Camel dairying – a kinder approach to milk production?
When I recently had the opportunity to travel to Saudi-Arabia, I jumped at the chance. After all, this country is the cradle of camel culture – the place where the human-dromedary relationship was first forged, more than 3000 years ago, and resulted in an amazing technological innovation: warfare from camel back! It was in the battle of Qarqar in 853 B.C. that the 'Arabs' first appeared as a distinct group in world history as camel mounted warriors that fought against the Assyrian king Shalmanesar III.
A stela from Niniveh illustrating camel mounted 'Arabs' in a battle with the Assyrians. A replica is found in the National Museum in Riyadh.
So the emergence of Arab civilization and the domestication of the camel are closely interlinked and cannot be separated from each other. I have always been spellbound by Bedouin camel culture has always enthralled me and I have long been a fan of the explorers, such as Anne Blunt and Alois Musil, that described its fondness and love of camels.
The trip was brought about by my archaeological first life and provided me the incredible fortune to visit some of the world's most stunning archaeological monuments that have so far been hidden and off limits to foreigners, with the exception of a few intrepid explorers, the likes of Ibn Battuta and Charles Doughty. I am talking about Al Ula in Northern Saudi-Arabia, the site of many thousands of rock drawings which provide testimony of the ecological and cultural history of the Arabian peninsula over the last 7000 years or so. This is also where the Nabatean site of Madain Saleh is located as well as ruins from a range of civilizations. The area is presently being developed into a world class tourist destination by the Royal Commission for Al Ula in a massive multi-disciplinary and visionary effort whose first task is to record the cultural and natural riches.
Our journey focused on rock drawings and on the way to Al Ula we stopped at Jubbah, an assemblage of rock formations near Hail which are literally covered in etchings from different periods, mostly of animals. Based on their style, and in combination with various scientific dating methods, archaeologists can tell from which period they are, and the types of animals represented allow us to deduct about the changing ecology of the area. During the Neolithic period – New Stone Age – the environment was clearly much more fertile and similar to what we find in the savannahs of Eastern Africa today: there were lions, baboons, kudus and ostriches. People herded cattle with long, circling horns very similar to those kept by the Dinka people in Southern Sudan today. But after the Neolithic, cattle disappear and camels become abundant. Their appearance is associated with Thamudic inscriptions – Thamudic being a precursor to Arabic.
Rock drawings of camels abound around Jubbah in Hail province. They are often associated with Thamudic inscriptions.
This replacement of cattle by camels reminds me very much of the processes that are currently going on in Eastern Africa where previously cattle oriented cultures, such as the Samburu and Maasai are switching to camel husbandry because it provides greater food security in times of climate change. In both East and West Africa, the camel distribution range is shifting southwards, as part of a global trend towards increasing importance. Camel milk is gaining recognition in Europe and the US for its health enhancing qualities, but camels should also be of interest to the general livestock sector which worries much about its emissions of greenhouse gases. Camels emit less methane than other ruminants, so it is kind of curious that they are not getting more attention from development agencies.
Travelling with archaeologists, my excursion provided only brief opportunities to see live camels, mostly from a distance.
Camel herds are a frequent sight. They tend to be of the same colour, either dark or white.
But the glimpses I caught confirmed that the Bedouin still love their camels, even if they are no longer economically dependent on them, and that these are just as friendly and inquisitive as those kept by the Raika in India. A highlight of my trip was the encounter with a Bedouin near Jubbah who was feeding dates to his herd.
Saudi camels are just as friendly and inquisitive as their Indian relatives – because they are loved by their owners.
It is very encouraging to know that Saudi-Arabia is set to once again highlight the role of camels in civilization – which is also the theme of the current issue of Aramco World Magazine – through the third edition of the Abdul Aziz Camel Festival scheduled to take place near Riyadh in February 2019. I really hope to be back!
Phantastic trip to an area almost unknown to the world and very exciting to find camels paintings even in these ancient archaeological sites in Saudi Arabia! What about consumption of camel milk there nowadays? Like in the UE? Does goverment support camel husbandary? Looking forward to your trip to the camel festival in Riyadh next year!
Very interesting article, but I think there is a problem with the chronology. Everything seems to indicate that the domestication of the one humped camel occurred in the end of the Bronze Age, and the earliest Thamudic inscriptions with the graffiti certainly belong to the Iron Age. This also apply to the Safaitic inscriptions in the northern part of the Arabian Peninsula, where we have wonderful depictions of camels, livestock, wild animals, like lion, hyena, gazelle, ostrich and even interbreeding between the one humped and the two humped camel, making a stronger hybrid.
thanks for your interesting comment. I would love to know more about the depictions you mention, especially of one and two humped camels interbreeding. My impressions are only very superficial, as it was a short trip. I will contact you by email.

Imam Muhammad 'Abdullah ibn 'Alawi al-Haddad 'alayhi ar-Rahman w'al-Ridwan, lived at Tarim in the Hadramawt Valley between Yemen and Oman. He is widely accepted as the mujaddid (or renewer) of the 12th Islamic century. He is a direct descendant of the Beloved Prophet Muhammad, Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam, through Imam al-Husayn, Radi Allahu ta'ala anhu. His illustrious ancestors, the 'Alawi sayyids, had for centuries produced generation after generation of great scholars, gnostics and summoners to the Straight Path.
A celebrated scholar of the Shafi'i School of Jurisprudence, Imam al-Haddad was renowned for the breadth of his knowledge and the profundity of insight. He is also known for compiling litanies of dhikr taken from the Qur'an and the Prophet, Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam. His influence on the Islamic world is reflected by the fact that his books are still in print and have been translated into many languages. Imam al-Haddad, 'alayhir rahman, passed away in 1132 A.H., after having spent his entire life helping people draw closer to their Lord through the Imam's personal teachings, written works, and his exemplary life. He was buried in a simple grave in a cemetery at Tarim.

Ok, let's be totally frank, I decided that I'm not a big fan of static site generators for personal blogging. Moreover, now that I've moved to Blogue, I feel like I should migrate our company blog from Jekyll as well. It would be easy, since Blogue can seamlessly become a part of any Rails app.
The thing is, I like to have an actual dynamic back-end behind my website. I am attracted to proper URI redirects, not having to wait for compilation, not having to always rely on 3rd parties for things like comments and search, and generally being able to program dynamic things that don't rely on exponentially multiplying html files. Plus, it's not like hosting is an issue, a free Heroku plan is all you need. That, and perhaps the free Memcachier addon. Let me use a fancy code block to demonstrate how this works out financially.
Most of all, I like static files. I like my blog posts forever preserved in clean markdown for our descendants to discover a thousand years from now as the basis of their new religion. In fact I like them so much, I get angry when some static site generators restrict me from keeping markdown clean. They force me to insert custom HTML as soon as I want to do anything mildly interesting, even if I have an obvious convention going on.
My goal with Blogue was essentially to be able to have plain markdown posts rendered as a resource inside a Rails app, while having them parsed and preprocessed in any way I like, with the full power of Rails and rubygems ecosystem. I'd like to think that Blogue emphasizes making your own conventions when blogging, and gives you the tools to parse your personal style for the needs of HTML presentation. In essence, it solves some of the more annoying markdown restrictions that would force you to resort to writing straight HTML. So let me just demonstrate a few tricks.
By having your model inherit from Blogue::Post you immediately plunge into a colorful world of possibilities, which paints your otherwise boring, gray reality1.
With this in place you can do some interesting things with your markdown files.
Let's say having followed the README and having setup the Rails app, you decided to create a first post at app/posts/first-post.md.
This alone will be enough to get a minimal post with some properties already present on the @post object.
Not bad for an empty file, you get a legit title, time, and name. You probably can guess where they came from. Here are their definitions in Blogue::Post.
So it's filename_title, file_ctime, and config_author_name (which actually comes from whoami by default) respectively. Notice that they all try looking up meta first. This refers to the very simple meta syntax I made up for placing directly into markdown posts. It looks like this.
This is similar to the front matter of jekyll posts, in case you're familiar. You can stick this anywhere in your post, and it'll be parsed as YAML and made available via Post#meta. So as you can guess from the code, having either of those values set in meta would override the default ones.
date: "Tue, 02 Dec 2008 13:07:00 +0000"
FYI: I made it use the key date because I think it sounds more natural.
Let me also quickly mention the parsed_title, because it's kind of nice. If you start your blog post with an h1 level header, it will automatically become the title. Like this.
=> "Welcome to my blog"
I added this bit of magic because it's my personal convention, it only works with this exact title format (first line, starts with a single number sign). You can easily change this convention by overriding parsed_title method.
Sep 27, 2015: Updated to reflect changes introduced in Blogue 0.2.0.
Take a look at the table of contents at the top of this post. It's dynamically generated, thanks to Kramdown, which has the TOC feature built-in. However, it requires you to add a weird looking special syntax into your markdown file.
The intention is probably to have the TOC written-out by hand in markdown, and turned dynamic in HTML. Well, I didn't want to have a TOC in my markdown, so I made a preprocessor that injects it only when rendering html.
I started by defining a class method preprocess on the Post as follows.
This takes the ActionView::Template object and prepends the table of contents declaration to the top. This method is not yet hooked up, but Blogue has a convenient config property called Blogue.markdown_template_preprocessor just for this kind of thing. An initializer is a good place for it.
So now Blogue will run this piece of code before it processes the markdown. Suddenly, table of contents. Well, perhaps I don't want it on every post. No biggie. I'll just alter the preprocess method like this.
Suddenly table of contents became opt-in via meta flag toc: true. Isn't that nice!
It's actually extra nice that you get a whole ActionView::Template object in the Post.preprocess, here's why.
Let's say you are rendering the post as part of an atom feed, and you don't want a table of contents in there. Most likely your atom feed is generated in an .atom file similar to this.
In this case, the template you get in your Post.preprocess will have :atom in its formats array, letting you change the post based on this fact.
I think that is pretty great.
Now, the perceptive among you (or those who give a damn about any of this) may have noticed that prepending table of contents to the top isn't going to work, because it would appear before the title. Well, in my blog setup I handle this by actually removing title, and rendering it together with the author and date in a separate partial. How do I remove title? In the same preprocessor.
Now hopefully it all makes sense. This preprocessing trick really gives you infinite possibilities on the shape of your final html, while keeping your markdown posts intact.


Less than a week after Miami Heat triumphed in this year's NBA championship, the 2013/14 draft is astonishingly just three days away.
Even more astonishingly, in an age where such things are usually decided months in advance, the first four draft picks are still surrounded by uncertainty.
Nerlens Noel, Ben McLemore, Otto Porter and Alex Len are likely to be the first to go, but in what order remains to be seen.
The first four picks will be made by the Cleveland Cavaliers, Orlando Magic, the Washington Wizards and the Charlotte Bobcats.
There have been indications in the press that the Cavaliers will use the first selection on Maryland centre Len, but an ankle problem might yet put the Cleveland side off the 20-year-old Ukrainian. The injury has sidelined Len for team auditions and will also prevent him taking part in summer league.
However, he is believed to be the best centre in the draft by some margin, and he was the standout player for the Ukraine national team at the 2010 FIBA Europe Under-18 Championship.
Noel could well prove an alternate first pick, but he too has been troubled by injury, and underwent knee surgery in March.
The 19-year-old from Massachusetts is of Haitian decent, and was the SEC Rookie of the Year in 2013 playing out of Kentucky. A power forward standing at a huge 6ft11, he was rated as the number one player in his 2012 high school class by ESPN.
McLemore seems set to join the Magic as number two draft pick, due to Orlando's desperate need for a point guard. The franchise have Arron Affalo at shooting guard, but McLemore is regarded as the second-best prospect on the board. Experts suggest: "take him, gather his assets and make a trade later."
The Missouri born 20-year-old played for Kansas at college and was named a finalist for the John R. Wooden Award, given annually to the most outstanding college basketball players.
Porter is meanwhile coming off a season as the Big East Player of the Year, an accolade that moved the versatile small forward into the top four draft picks. He can do a lot of things well, teams won't see a star, but they will see a very underrated player who can do a good job.
The 20-year-old spent his college career with Georgetown, averaging 9.7 points and 6.8 rebounds per game.

Deed Fraud: How To Stay Protected From This Growing Trend
No real estate investor wants to discover they've been involved in a fraudulent real estate transaction. But unfortunately, forged deeds and fraudulent title transfers happen far more often the people might believe. Deed fraud isn't a new idea. This problem has been around for decades, most commonly with vacant property and especially involving deceased property owners, but is becoming increasingly popular in blighted areas with a large number of vacant, zombie properties leaving property owners and investors at risk.
Learn what deed fraud is, how it can happen, where it's increasing, and how to protect yourself from a wrongful or illegal property transfer.
What is deed fraud?
Deed fraud comes in many shapes and sizes, but in essence it occurs when a property deed or title transfer is executed and recorded illegally without the authorization or knowledge of the true and present owner. This practice is most commonly used with deceased property owners or properties that are vacant and not being monitored or maintained.
The alleged "buyer" takes title to the property by forging the owner's signature on the deed, either using false identification or a counterfeit notary signature and stamp. The new "owner" can then rent the property, move into themselves, or sell the property by transferring title to a legitimate buyer. If the false transfer and sale happen quickly, the property can be sold to a new buyer without the current property owner or heirs knowing it.
Some thieves will even go so far as to create a fictitious name for the original deed transfer and then transfer title into their true name to add a layer of protection from the fraudulent deed to themselves.
Increase in deed fraud
This practice has been popular in several states, including Florida, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, and Michigan, with the majority of cases happening in areas like South Florida; Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, PA; Cleveland, OH; Detroit, MI; or Lake County, IN, which all have a large number of vacant homes. The increase in title fraud has gotten so bad in some areas that municipalities are adopting new services that automatically alert property owners when a title transfer has been recorded.
As a note investor, I've witnessed deed fraud firsthand when looking at a non-performing mortgage loan for a deceased borrower. The title changed hands years after the borrower passed away. Luckily, from doing due diligence I realized the problem at hand and knew this was a far bigger issue than simply foreclosing on the deceased homeowner to regain title to the property.
How investors can protect themselves
Deed fraud is most common in vacant homes, particularly vacant properties that aren't being regularly maintained or monitored. If you own real estate that's vacant, it's a good idea to have someone go by the property frequently to check on it and, if possible, set up alerts with the county recorder's office to alert you if there's any change in ownership on the property.
If you're in the process of purchasing a vacant property, do your due diligence before entering into a purchase agreement or closing on the property. Look at previous title transfers in public records to see if there was a recent title transfer, especially a quitclaim deed, and request that the title company do a thorough check on the current property owner, verifying multiple forms of identification to prove they are in fact the owner before closing. Most counties and even some states don't allow the recorder's office to verify the legitimacy of the document being recorded, meaning it's up to the closing company or the investor to verify the accuracy and validity of the document.
If you're a victim of deed fraud and your property has been wrongfully transferred to an illegal owner, the first thing you should do is alert the county recorder's office of the issue and file a report with the local authorities. If significant time has passed since the transfer and the property has been resold, it can be difficult to locate the thief, especially if they used a fictitious name. This means the most important thing a property owner or investor can do is monitor and maintain any property they own or have interest in, especially if it's vacant.

What are disadvantages of friction?
Which type of friction is the weakest?
What forces act on a cyclist?
Why do cyclists bend forward?
Body positioning is important; road cyclists use "drop bars" to allow themselves to reduce their frontal area, which helps reduce the amount of resistance they must overcome. Reducing the frontal area helps riders increase their speed and their efficiency over time.
There are several ways to reduce friction:
The use of bearing surfaces that are themselves sacrificial, such as low shear materials, of which lead/copper journal bearings are an example.
Replace sliding friction with rolling element friction, such as with the use of rolling element bearings.
The two main forces that oppose your motion are aerodynamic drag (air resistance) and rolling resistance of the tyres against the road.
To reduce friction and increase speed, cyclists adopt all kinds of techniques. They wear aerodynamic helmets. They crouch low over their bikes. They wear shirts and shorts that cling closely to their skin, preventing air from slipping inside and slowing them down.
IT IS IMPORTANT: Is J bike store legit?
But the other major way that professional cyclists go much faster than the rest of us in a race like the Tour de France is their expertise in drafting or slipstreaming. This is where they cycle "on the wheel" of the rider in front so they are protected from some of the air resistance.
The tight fit of cycling shorts means that the shorts move with your legs as they move, rather than moving separately. … These two combined aspects of cycling shorts prevent bunching, which would occur in normal pants, and therefore prevent chafe, giving the rider a comfortable, pain-free ride and post-ride experience.
For water to reduce friction, it must reduce the contact area between two surfaces by separating them and acting as a barrier. It can only do this if neither surface is absorptive, otherwise the water won't remain between them.
Disadvantages of friction:
Friction produces a lot of heat in various parts of the machinery and this leads to wastage of energy as heat.
Opposes motion, hence more energy is needed to overcome friction.
Noise production in machines is irritating as well as leads to energy loss.
Rolling friction is the weakest kind of friction. It is the force that resists the motion of an object rolling across a surface.
There are 4 forces that act on a cyclist and determine how fast the cyclist moves – propulsion, gravity, rolling resistance and aerodynamic drag. These four forces interact in various mixes with the conditions in which the cyclist is riding – wind, terrain, road surface, etc.
IT IS IMPORTANT: Are single speed bikes slower?
When riding on a curved road, there is a force that keeps the cyclist on the path which is Centripetal force. This force is provided by the friction on the tires. … By bending, the direction of the normal force tilts resulting in a vertical as well as horizontal component of the force.

EuroBrake 2019
The EuroBrake, Europe's exhibition and conference on brake technology, is scheduled this year to take place in Dresden (Germany).
Richard Anton KG was again one of the more than 100 international exhibitors at the last EuroBrake 2018 in Den Haag (Netherlands). The fair counted more than one thousand participants. With over 140 lectures it is the word's biggest conference on brake technology as well as an international meeting of engineers, scientists and experts from the automotive, transport and aeronautics industries and other industrial sectors.
Brake technology focuses on saving energy and simultaneously on improving safety and driving pleasure. In this context also our products play an important role.
Visit us at booth 63 at the EuroBrake 2019 in Dresden May 21-23, 2019. We look forward to seeing you!

GIFA 2019
The International Foundry Exhibition in Düsseldorf is the most important trade fair word wide for foundry technology and is organized every four years together with METEC, THERMPROCESS and NEWCAST.
2,214 exhibitors took part in the last GIFA (June 16-20, 2015) and a total of 78,000 visitors from more than 120 countries attended the exhibition. Looking back, this was a great success!
For the last 30 years Richard Anton KG has had a booth there in order to present its products – known world wide under the trade name RANCO.
Visit us in hall 11 at booth A19 at the GIFA 2019 in Düsseldorf June 25-29, 2019. We look forward to seeing you!
(www.gifa.com)
On July 4, 2015 Richard Anton KG celebrated the 111th anniversary of its foundation.
Especially for this anniversary of this family enterprise a new film was commissioned. This film was to fully take advantage of state-of-the-art technology and to both technically and emotionally impress the viewer with many aerial shots and strong impressions. That's why equipment was used that is used also in the making of cinematic movies. The crane used, a Movietech ABC crane, had been used right before at the FIFA European Soccer Championships in Poland and in the Ukraine; the same applies to the Movietech CD5 dolly. The daylight and artificial light lamps used are products originating from the Munich company ARRI, recipient of several Oscars. The aerial footage was taken with a Black Magic camera.
This image film was shot in October 2014 at the Richard Anton KG headquarters in Gräfelfing as well as at both company-owned plants in Obernzell and Mannheim. The foundry footage was taken in Schwarzenbach a.d. Saale
Special thanks go to the Richard Anton KG employees who actively supported the film crew; some of them even had a part in the film.
For a few years we have been supporting social institutions in order to give many people all over the world a few happy moments. This has been of special concern to us. Every year – following the motto "Christmastime is donation time" – we forego the usual Christmas presents and instead donate to the following organizations:
Global H2O (www.globalh2o.org)
Global H2O is an international non-profit organisation with the goal to provide clean water and sanitation to the rural population in developing countries. According to U.N. estimates every year worldwide almost 5 million people die from diseases caused by drinking water problems! A donation of as little as EUR 20 provides drinking water for one individual on a lifelong basis. In the preparatory stage Global H2O establishes the necessary conditions for successful well building under severe conditions, simultaneously ensuring health education for the local population. We are in close contact with Global H2O with regular information on progressing projects being reported to us. Here we know that the money actually reaches those who desperately need it.
Christiane Herzog Stiftung (www.christianeherzogstiftung.de)
The foundation assists young people in their fight for the power of breathing and forms an institution for patients suffering from cystic fibrosis (CF), also known as mucoviscidosis. Cystic fibrosis is the most common autosomal recessive disease among people in this part of the world. Around 6,000 to 8,000 children and young adults suffer from CF in Germany.
The accumulation of thick mucus in the lungs has a counterpart in thickened secretions from the pancreas. Organ functions gradually decline. In later stages people with CF literally loose their power to breathe. In many cases the symptoms are mistaken for chronic bronchitis or croup. So far there sadly is no cure for cystic fibrosis. In all stages of the disease its treatment requires a team of specialists including doctors, social workers, psychologists, nutritionists, physiotherapists and nursing staff. In general, the best treatment is given in larger specialist centres. While in the nineteen-sixties the average life expectancy was only around 1 – 5 years, today the prognosis has significantly improved. Nowadays, the median age of survival is estimated to be 40 years and over.
Welthungerhilfe (www.welthungerhilfe.de)
In 1962, the "Freedom from Hunger Campaign" caused Federal President Heinrich Lübke to found "The German committee for the fight against hunger". Thereby he started the first chapter of the history of Welthungerhilfe. Since that time the organisation has persistently fought for a goal: ensuring nutrition of all human beings. Today Welthungerhilfe is one of Germany's largest private aid organisations. They fight against global hunger and for sustainable food security. This incorporates the promotion of agriculture suited to local conditions, access to clean water, the provision of modern, environmentally friendly energy and the improvement of health and education. Federal President Joachim Gauck is Welthungerhilfe's patron.
Pet-Assistance Germany (www.tiertafel.de)
For many people in Germany their pet is the only thing left to them. Especially retirees, homeless or handicapped people often are not able financially or bodily anymore to correctly feed or care for their only friend. The Pet-Assistance makes it their job to help such citizens in need.
New production plant in Obernzell
In 2012 we built a new production plant on the grounds of our original production facility in Obernzell near Passau. We invested more than 5 million Euros in a completely new production plant.
We intend to further expand our leading position as strategic partner of the foundry and steel industries. Our emphasis is not only to increase our plant's capacity from 2500 to 5000 MT, but also to aim for a future strategic position based on expansion and improved production capabilities. That's why we used nothing but the most up-to-date resource and energy-saving technologies.
The new plant was put into operation in November 2012 after less than 9 months of construction.
Here you get an idea of the new plant.

Star Wars secrets, Norman Osborn in the MCU, and Scarlet Witch: The week in fan theories
By James Grebey
Credit: Lucasfilm
Welcome to The Week in Fan Theories, your guide to what fan theories are taking the internet by storm!
With so many fan theories floating around the web, it can be hard to know which ones to take seriously and which ones are wildly off the mark. Some theories are brilliant breakthroughs that reveal a whole new understanding of what a work of fiction means, or they're spot-on predictions about what's going to happen in the next installment. Others are deeply flawed theories that nevertheless get traction on news sites.
Game of Thrones is over, and now my watch is ended. Well, temporarily, at least. There are still going to be plenty of post-mortem Game of Thrones theories, along with rampant speculation about the upcoming spin-offs and (hopefully) upcoming final A Song of Ice and Fire novels. However, we're gonna take a break from Thrones this week. The two more persistent fan theories — that Bran is the Night King and that Littlefinger was still alive — didn't come true in the end, so consider this off-week a victory lap.
In the meantime, though, we've got a hot new Star Wars: Rise of the Skywalker theory, a Spider-Man: Far From Home musing, and another theory about how the X-Men will enter the MCU.

WHAT'S THE HIDDEN EPISODE IX SECRET IN THE VANITY FAIR COVERS?
Vanity Fair released the magazine's massive, beautifully photographed preview of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker on Wednesday, and the many stories gave fans lots of new information and plenty to speculate about. VF senior staff writer Joanna Robinson, who wrote a couple of the stories, tweeted that the two covers of the magazine, which feature Kylo Ren and Rey, have a hidden secret.
There's actually a pretty clever hidden meaning behind our matching Kylo and Rey covers and I'll be so curious to know if any of you figure it out before #TheRiseOfSkywalker opens. #StarWars https://t.co/qlbKamph4b pic.twitter.com/SBmvAK4DuM
— Joanna Robinson (@jowrotethis) May 22, 2019
Robinson hasn't confirmed or denied any of the theories (though she did retweet a solid joke submission), so fans have taken to speculating. One of the leading theories is that, since both characters are hiding one of their hands on the covers, Episode IX will continue the Star Wars franchise's storied history of amputation. It's plausible, though such dismemberment would be an awfully big plot point for Lucasfilm to have given away this far ahead of the movie. A variation on this theory suggests they're hiding wedding rings, which would be an even bigger plot development to give away. Also, Wookiepedia doesn't say anything about engagement rings being canon in the Star Wars universe.
Other theories are more symbolic. The sun appears to be setting on Kylo's cover and rising on Rey's. Perhaps Kylo, despite being an actual Skywalker descendant, will meet his end in Episode IX, while Rey will be the "rising Skywalker" of some sort. Perhaps the twin covers mean that Kylo and Rey will join forces once again.

SPIDER-MAN: FAR FROM HOME WILL INTRODUCE NORMAN OSBORN
Peter Parker is going to have to deal with Mysterio on his upcoming European vacation, but this fan theory posits that he'll also encounter one of Spider-Man's most famous foes, Norman Osborn. But, the wrinkle here is that Osborn won't be his most iconic Spidey villain, the Green Goblin, but an evil Iron Man.
In Marvel comic storylines from the late '00s and early '10s, longtime Spider-Man villain Norman Osborn takes advantage of several crises to rehabilitate his public image, eventually using the PR to become President. He's still evil, though, and a part of his plan involves making himself out to be a benevolent superhero. His persona is Iron Patriot, an identity that harnesses Captain America's patriotism and slaps it on an Iron Man suit as a form of propaganda.
"So Tom Holland went on an interview a while ago and talked about how there's gonna be a scene in FFH that fans are gonna hate," the theory explains. "A theory also came out recently that Norman Osborn is gonna form the Dark Avengers. What if he shows up and calls himself the new Iron Man, and this is the scene Holland was talking about?"
It's an interesting theory, especially since we know that Peter is grieving Tony Stark's death. Seeing somebody else pretending to be him — or even claim that they're carrying on his legacy — would be upsetting, and it would introduce an iconic villain to this iteration of Spidey movies. But, what sort of an introduction would that be? Smushing (an as-yet-uncast) Norman Osborn and a fake Iron Man plot into Peter's European vacation might do the character a disservice, or threaten to distract from Mysterio. It's a good idea, but it might just be a pitch for a different movie, not a prediction of what's going to happen in this one.
Really, the wildest part of this theory is that the original Reddit post had just six upvotes, and yet an entertainment website found it and deemed it worthy of an entire news post. Content!

SCARLET WITCH WILL INTRODUCE THE X-MEN TO MCU (ON DISNEY+)
The Scarlet Witch and Vision Disney+ series, which I still cannot believe is actually called WandaVision, is rumored to be set in the '50s. How, exactly, this will happen is a mystery, assuming the rumor is true. Maybe Vision will be brought back to life and he and Wanda will flee to the past for a simpler life using the time machine they invented in Avengers: Endgame. This fan theory posits that Scarlet Witch will use her powers in the '50s, and the power will be so immense that it will be responsible for the creation of the Mutant gene.
This could give Marvel a way to introduce Mutants and the X-Men in the present day, now that Disney has subsumed Fox into its empire and owns the rights to the film characters again.
As with the Far From Home theory, this is an interesting idea. Scarlet Witch is originally a Mutant in the comics, as she and Quicksilver are Magneto's children. This isn't the case in the films, obviously, but Scarlet Witch has always had strong connections to the X-Men. In a famous comic storyline, House of M, a disturbed Scarlet Witch is responsible for eliminating almost every Mutant when she utters the words "No more Mutants." It would be fitting, in a way, if she's the cause of Mutants in the film universe.
Still, there are some problems. The most nitpicky one is that it would violate the rules of time travel as established in Endgame. Going to the past creates an alternate timeline that does not affect the main reality, so while Wanda and Vision could go back to the '50s, their actions would not introduce Mutants to the main MCU. (Of course, Captain America seemed to throw these rules out the window when he reappeared as an old man at the end of the film, so who the heck knows).
The bigger stumbling block for this theory, in my own opinion, is that it relies on a TV show altering the main canon of the Cinematic Universe. Granted, the Disney+ Marvel shows have movie stars, huge budgets, and Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige will actually be overseeing the Disney+ shows, whereas previous Marvel series came from Marvel Television, under Jeph Loeb.
While Feige's presence and all the resources Marvel is putting into the show suggest it'll be a big deal, it still seems unlikely that Disney would make the MCU introduction of the X-Men — arguably Marvel's most popular franchise — dependent on moviegoers having seen a streaming TV show about two Avengers B-listers who traveled back in time.

Good and interesting read from the 1940s in Arizonaeasy read.
Fun biography of growing up in Arizona. Reminded me stories my grandfather told me of his childhood in Arizona.
This was from my Grandmother's library. Many of her books I have read over the years and I enjoy each one.

The Commercial Voiceover scene is a huge part of my day. Booking and delivering over 100 jobs a week.
You will have heard this voice on TV & Radio. Alongside In-Store, YouTube videos and on-hold. .
You may have seen Attraction Tickets Direct on TV.
Working alongside ATD and Disney, I've been booked many times for their promotions and offers.
Universal Studios also asked for my commercial voice to promote their latest ticket deal. These are just one of dozens of commercial projects I put my voice on every week.
Over the years, I've been know for my character voices. I wanted to offer more and show the versatility in my straight spoken voice. Aiming for a new market this style suits a variety of new voice projects and I've enjoyed every one.

Whilst the hard sell is still very well used and important in the right script, more commercials are written for a very understated, honest and reassuring natural read style. Something I've been developing for the last 8 years.
My natural voiceover is in demand daily.
Web Videos, Explainer Videos and How to Videos are on the increase and this natural, non hard sell approach is also another option for your commercials.
Why use a Voice over?
It's pretty clear really that using a voice over will improve your brand image especially if it's to replace something recorded by a friend on a cheap mic and a lap top. Chosing a professional voiceover will bring credibility to your brand and reflect your company's values. Don't let money stand in the way of your final public facing end product.


12 Days of Christmas Crafts - Day 8!!
Here's a simple nativity banner and an easy way to use up some scrap felt. My mom has one very similar to this design that my older brother made when he was in pre-school.
I started by cutting a simple stable shape out of brown felt.
Then I ironed Wonder Under on dark brown felt and cut strips to make the outline of the stable. And ironed them down. If you are making this with small children, they can glue the pieces of felt down instead of using Wonder Under.
I added a start to the top using Wonder Under and yellow felt.
Next I cut these simple shapes of Mary and Joseph out. Just a circle for the head and triangles with a flat top for the body.
Added the head dressing on each and a manger in the middle.
Some straw (strips of yellow felt) and a baby Jesus (white oval with a peach circle for the head).
I ironed Wonder Under on all the pieces of felt before I cut the shapes out. Once I had everything in place, I ironed it down.
You can skip the next steps if you like, but I decided to stitch around all my pieces.
I used a blanket stitch around the outside edge.
Once done, cut a piece of card stock a little smaller than the felt.
Glue a ribbon loop at the top and then glue the felt to the card stock.
Hang and enjoy!! Merry Christmas!!


The Island of Java, Olivier's preferred destination, serves as inspiration for this aromatic adventure. The wild vetiver that adorns the mountainous rolling hills of its native landscape is paired with the sensual, soothing essence of geranium to create a vibrant fragrance. Handpicked crisp apple, bergamot and lemon make a luminous debut, while warm cinnamon and rose lead to robust patchouli, cedar and relaxing amber.
