then some (see Figure 1).
$328 million. This surpasses the $231 million projected spending for both CO2 and solid-state (fiber or disk) laser cutting machines.
Planned spending on bending surpassed laser cutting for the first time in the 2015 forecast, and the trend seems to be continuing. True, total spending on all cutting processes (laser cutting, plasma cutting, punching, oxyfuel, and waterjet) together account for more than $500 million in total projected spending. All the same, the industry is now making bigger investments in the forming department.
When you consider the needs of the custom fabricator, this isn't surprising. A fab shop needs to produce kits of parts as quickly as possible, with minimal setup time. For years shops have been able to nest kits of parts on the laser or punch press, but until recently press brake changeover was an issue. So fab shops increased batch sizes and nested identical parts on sheets to make life easier for the forming department.
Today advanced setup and quick-changeover technology—bending simulation, automatic tool change, the use of panel bending and folding when possible—is making the forming department as flexible as cutting. All this technology of course adds to bending investments, and the 2016 spending forecast certainly reflects that.
Welding power supply spending is up 10 percent, and welding consumables and supplies spending is up almost 40 percent from last year's forecast. Spending on guns, cables, and other welding torches is up 32 percent.
Planned spending in all the welding-related equipment combined is more than $600 million. That's the largest spending category by far, and the jump in consumables spending may be a harbinger of busier times ahead.
The initial cutting process remains the engine of the industry. Without reliable cutting, part flow halts. This year's forecast shows a significant shift in spending. Projected spending on punching declined from last year, and for the first time, projected spending on fiber and disk lasers surpassed spending on CO2 machines.
True, the difference is less than $7 million—a tiny amount when measuring industrywide spending. And this survey doesn't account for existing laser cutting machines, where CO2s still dominate, simply because the technology has been around for so many years. But it seems the popularity of fiber and disk laser cutting is stepping up rapidly.
When looking at the order-to-cash cycle, many now have their eye on front-office operations. As more custom fabricators are taking on more design work— beyond just design for manufacturability— engineering and estimating functions become more complex, especially as that work focuses on more subassemblies and full assemblies that call for multilevel bills of material and a multitude of sourced parts.
The top 5 states represent 45.3% of the dollars planned to be spent. The top 10 states represent 66.4% of the dollars planned to be spent.
Capital spending dollars remain geographically concentrated. More than 66 percent of all planned spending in metal fabrication comes from 10 states.
This chart shows average planned spending dollars of survey respondents. Note the significant drop in spending in organizations with 1,000 employees or more.

I like both covers. The monochromatic color schemes are great and the design is frightening!
I think both of the covers are great and definitely eye catching!

Love the cover. The reaper in the back is really fantastic.

Portugal reintroduces Covid-19 restrictions as cases rise
Portugal is reintroducing Covid restrictions less than two months after scrapping most of them as the country hit its vaccination targets.
Although over 86% of the country has been vaccinated, a rise in infections has led Prime Minister Antonio Costa to order the reintroduction of masks in confined spaces and the use of Covid certs to enter restaurants, hotels and cinemas.
All arrivals into the country – whether vaccinated or not – must also present proof of a negative test.
Visitors to care homes, hospitals, bars, dance halls and big sports and cultural events will have to show negative tests.
The new measures will be introduced from 1 December.
Mr Costa has defended the need for the measures because of the Europe-wide surge in cases. He also pointed to the rise in respiratory infections over the winter months and the fact that Christmas will see many families in close contact, potentially contributing to a spread in infections.
No lockdown required
However, Portuguese authorities have also said a lockdown would not be necessary as hospitals were coping with admissions – even though the current number of Covid patients requiring hospitalisation is at its highest since September.
On 1 November, Portugal reported fewer than 500 new infections, 360 people in hospital, 60 in intensive care and five deaths.
Portugal has a population of around 10.3 million. To date, it has suffered 18,400 Covid-related deaths since the beginning of the pandemic.

Tories will not throw away oil and gas jobs to meet climate targets, Ross says
Douglas Ross said his party will not 'throw away' oil and gas jobs to meet climate change targets (Danny Lawson/PA)
Scottish Tory leader Douglas Ross has called on ministers at Holyrood and Westminster to work together to help find a "more positive future" for the North Sea oil industry.
With more than 100,000 people in Scotland employed in the sector, the Conservative MP also stressed his party would "not throw away oil and gas jobs to achieve climate goals".
Mr Ross said while it was right to push to expand Scotland's renewable energy sector as part of efforts to meet the target of achieving net zero emissions by 2045, there had been "far too much focus on managing the decline of the oil and gas industry".
The oil and gas industry has to work across two Government's energy strategies. While I recognise that different governments of different political persuasions will have separate goals, where possible they should come together to deliver an overall vision for the industry. pic.twitter.com/GR9RKK328Z
— Douglas Ross MP (@Douglas4Moray) November 9, 2020
Making a virtual speech to oil and gas workers, he stated: "We need to prepare for the future but the priority for me is the 100,000 jobs in the sector right now.
"My party will not throw away oil and gas jobs to achieve climate goals. We need our North Sea oil and gas sector to survive for decades, not for years.
"It can thrive and grow alongside a thriving and growing renewables sector. This is not a competition. We are going to be reliant on oil and gas for years to come."
To help with this, he said the Scottish and UK governments "need to find new ways to work together on a more positive, bright future for the industry".
The Scottish Tory leader wants the two administrations to jointly establish a North Sea ministerial working group to align investment programmes and strategies for the industry, which he insisted has a "long and sustainable future".
Speaking about renewables, he said there are "not tens of thousands of vacant jobs in renewables waiting to be filled" and these green sources of energy "will not fulfil all of our energy demands in the near future".
Green MSP Mark Ruskell claimed the Tory was "engaging in anti-science climate change denial ".
🌎 @MarkRuskell: "Douglas Ross engaging in anti-science climate change denial isn't just depressing it is downright dangerous and will be dismissed by most Scots who acknowledge that the climate crisis is an urgent priority." https://t.co/kKrEuXqvgN

Mr Ruskell said: "Scotland has an abundance of renewable energy potential yet the Scottish Tories seem determined to hitch our future to the fossil fuel relics of the past.
"The Tories' bizarre approach also lets the SNP off the hook for failing to capitalise on Scotland's potential and deliver the quality, well-paid, unionised green jobs that we know can be created now.
"Most oil workers want to put their skills to work in Scotland's renewables sector. But SNP and Tory governments have so far failed miserably to deliver on promised jobs."
Industry body Oil and Gas UK welcomed Mr Ross' "recognition of the vital role of the offshore oil and gas industry in our economy".
Chief executive Deirdre Michie said: "Through a North Sea transition deal we can help the huge parts of our economy which can't use electricity to meet climate change targets, developing practical solutions including the development of hydrogen and carbon capture and storage at scale. At the same time, we remain laser-focused on reducing our emissions.
"We look forward to conversations with all parties about the continued support needed for our sector in difficult times.
"In a stark economic climate for all, our changing industry has the essential expertise to provide affordable energy to millions of households and families, support jobs in energy communities across the country and create exciting new jobs of the future."

For Leap Year, Occupy takes on ALEC

February 29 comes but once every four years, and the Occupy movement has chosen to make good use of the extra day this month. In some 60 cities across the nation, Occupiers will be protesting the insidious ALEC—the American Legislative Exchange Council—and the corporations it benefits and which fund it. Very worthy targets. The New York Times editors offer a succinct summary:
The American Legislative Exchange Council was founded in 1973 by the right-wing activist Paul Weyrich; its big funders include Exxon Mobil, the Olin and Scaife families and foundations tied to Koch Industries. Many of the largest corporations are represented on its board.
ALEC has written model legislation on a host of subjects dear to corporate and conservative interests, and supporting lawmakers have introduced these bills in dozens of states. A recent study of the group's impact in Virginia showed that more than 50 of its bills were introduced there, many practically word for word.
The damage done by the corporations that fund ALEC and its stable of mostly Republican legislators is immense and on-going.
You can find out a lot more about ALEC here [6], the corporations that pay the bills here [7], its board members here [8], politicians it is connected to here [9] and information about specific Feb. 29 actions here [10].
I can hear the sighs from here. Another protest? What for? In fact, these locally organized, nationally networked, peaceful direct actions constitute just one element in a renewed struggle to pry our democracy from the grasp of corporate dominance. The CEOs won't be waving a white flag at the end of the day. The ALEC board won't resign en masse. But that doesn't mean the actions will have failed. Only that we must do more of the same, as well as take many additional approaches, to achieve our objectives.
We who seek change, real change, must be as committed and hard-nosed and in it for the long haul as those who have used ALEC as a means to their ends, which are, so much of the time, enhancement of the bottom line at the expense of the public's health, safety and well-being.
Street politics always get a bad rap in American discourse. Mischaracterized by an ever-more concentrated and conservative megamedia, misdirected by infiltrators, agents provocateursand supposed allies with their own counterproductive agendas, mistaken for a threat to—rather than an enhancement of—democracy, movements like the one organizing the Leap Year action face an array of obstacles just to get heard. And that's before they have to deal with the pepperspray and other antics of officialdumb. To top it off there is always somebody on the sidelines telling you that you're doing it all wrong.
Building a movement is hard, hard work. Plenty of people get disillusioned along the way, often before things really get rolling. Excuses abound. The opposition is too tough, group dynamics too messy, egos too annoying and too many people seem to want to reinvent the wheel at every meeting. Sticking with it takes commitment and sacrifice, often with family and friends and perhaps co-workers suggesting and even demanding that it's time to give it up. The corporadoes count on this. And when they actually do see a threat to their power, rather than a nuisance, they crank up their well-funded machinery to smack us down.
Surrender is truly not an option. Decades of bad policies from the center, right and far right combined with paltry resistance from the left have squeezed vast numbers of Americans in an economic bind, or two paychecks away from one. The acute crisis of the past four years has brought the chronic problems into sharper focus. Chief among them is an inequality not just in wealth and income but also in what that inequality can purchase. And one of those things is ALEC.
From Portland, Ore., to Savannah, from Milwaukee to Phoenix, protesters will be exposing the corporatists to an ever-more receptive public and delivering a message to ALEC and its angels: You don't own us. We're going to get back what you've taken.
Get in touch with your local Feb. 29th organizers [10]. Support them. Join them.
Blast from the Past [11]. At Daily Kos on this date in 2009:
President Barack Obama's Tuesday announcement that the U.S. will be adding 17,000 fresh troops to those already fighting in Afghanistan upended hopes among some progressives that the 60-day policy review he announced February 10 would be completed before any such surge. As has been becoming publicly clear for a while now, progressives themselves are split on the issue.
A few have complained [12] that those who are objecting to Obama's course should have spoken up during his election campaign. This, delivered with a straight face in spite of the fact that there was broad progressive consensus that getting into a fight over Afghanistan would not help Obama's chances against McCain. So progressives who opposed a troop escalation in Afghanistan kept mostly silent. Back then, their perspective was simply that there would be time after November 4 to persuade Obama that expanding the U.S. military presence was a bad idea. But since they shut up then in the interests of the greater good, they are told they should shut up now because they didn't speak up then. Catch-22, subsection 3.
What was a campaign is now an administration. And while diplomacy and rebuilding efforts will surely be getting more attention, there is now every possibility that U.S. troop strength in Afghanistan will double, bringing the total NATO and American armed forces in that country close to 100,000. The NATO contingents are iffy in the long run, but the hints from generals like Petraeus, Odierno and McKiernan indicate that Americans could remain there for five years or more. In the view of some, including progressives, why not? After all, the U.S. still has tens of thousands of troops in Germany and Japan, and look how that turned out. Others see: quagmire. [...]

Steve Reeves (* 21. Januar 1926 in Glasgow, Montana; † 1. Mai 2000 in Escondido, Kalifornien) war ein US-amerikanischer Filmschauspieler und Bodybuilder.

Biografie
Steve Reeves wurde als Sohn eines Farmerehepaares auf einer Farm in Montana geboren, sein Vater starb kurz darauf infolge eines Unfalls. Im Alter von sechs Monaten wurde Reeves mit dem Titel "Gesündestes Baby von Valley County" ausgezeichnet.

Als Reeves ein Jahr alt war, zog seine Mutter, von Beruf Ernährungswissenschaftlerin, mit ihm nach Kalifornien. Im Laufe seines Lebens wurde er von einem Auto angefahren, von einem Pferd getreten, überlebte schlafend ein Erdbeben und später eine Malaria-Infektion.

Nach dem Besuch der Schule diente Reeves als Soldat im Zweiten Weltkrieg. Er wurde auf den Philippinen eingesetzt, wo er die Aufgabe hatte, Lastwagen und Panzer mit Munition zu versehen. Nach einer Malariaerkrankung wurde er im Stab von General Douglas MacArthur bei der Besetzung Japans eingesetzt.

Bereits im Krieg begann Reeves seinen Körper zu trainieren und nahm nach seiner Rückkehr in die USA an einer Bodybuilding-Veranstaltung teil. 1946 erhielt er mit dem Titel Mr. Pacific Coast seine erste Auszeichnung, die er 1947 erfolgreich verteidigte. Ebenfalls 1947 wurde Reeves zum Mr. America und zum Mr. Western America gekürt. Ein Jahr später folgte der Titel des Mr. World und der Sieg in der Klasse über 1,82 m Körpergröße beim NABBA-Mr. Universe. Während Reeves dabei im Stechen um den Gesamtsieg seinem Landsmann John Grimek noch unterlag, triumphierte er zwei Jahre später über die übrigen Klassensieger und kürte sich so zum Mr. Universum. Mit dem Gewinn des zu diesem Zeitpunkt prestigeträchtigsten Titel im weltweiten Bodybuilding beendete Reeves seine sportliche Karriere.

Ende der Vierziger zog Reeves nach New York City und begann, Schauspiel zu studieren. 1953 erfolgte – nachdem ihm eine Hauptrolle in Cecil B. DeMilles Samson und Delilah noch wegen vermeintlichen Gewichts-Problemen entgangen war – sein unbeachtetes Leinwand-Debüt als Mitglied der US-Olympia-Mannschaft im Howard-Hawks-Klassiker Blondinen bevorzugt. Reeves, der insgesamt in 20 Spielfilmen mitwirkte, wurde vor allem durch seine Darstellung des Herkules bekannt, obgleich er diese Rolle nur in drei Filmen spielte. Speziell italienische Sandalenfilme sind es, mit denen man Reeves assoziiert. Eine weitere bekannte Rolle war die Titelrolle in dem Kinofilm Sandokan ("Sandokan, la Tigre di Mompracem", Italien 1963, Regie Umberto Lenzi). Für den Film Ich bin ein entflohener Kettensträfling, seinen einzigen Western, schrieb er auch am Drehbuch mit.

Am 31. Januar 1955 heiratete Reeves zum ersten Mal. Doch seine Ehe mit Sandra Smith wurde bereits nach 19 Monaten geschieden. Acht Jahre später, am 24. Juni 1963, heiratete Reeves die gebürtige Polin Aline Czartjawicz. Sie verstarb 26 Jahre später, am 24. Juli 1989, nach einem Schlaganfall. Beide Ehen blieben kinderlos.

Die Spätfolgen einer Schulterverletzung, die er sich 1959 bei den Dreharbeiten zu Die letzten Tage von Pompeji zugezogen hatte (sein Streitwagen fuhr in einen Baum), zwangen Reeves Ende der 1960er Jahre, die Schauspielerei aufzugeben. Er widmete sich in den letzten drei Jahrzehnten seines Lebens der Aufgabe, für ein drogen- und steroidfreies Bodybuilding einzutreten. Er schrieb Fitnessbücher und vermarktete das von ihm entwickelte System "Power-Walking".

Die Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror Films ehrte ihn 1994 mit dem Life Career Award.

Mitte März 2000 wurde bei Reeves ein Lymphom diagnostiziert, an dem er sechs Wochen später, im Alter von 74 Jahren, starb.

The constellation of Monoceros, the Unicorn, is best viewed in Winter during the month of February. It's brightest star is Beta Monocerotis at magnitude 3.76. The boundary of the Monoceros constellation contains 14 stars that host known exoplanets.


UPDATE 2018-09-20: according to Belgian news paper De Tijd, a new confidential report by the Belgian public prosecutor delivered to the Belgian government contains new clues pointing to GCHQ's involvement in the Belgacom hack. The public prosecutor investigated a link to a computer in Indonesia, and when asking for information about its IP address, had learned that the British government had also asked questions about it. Furthermore, computers traced to other countries could be linked to the U.K., because some had been paid using anonymous prepaid payment cards that had been bought in the U.K. And lastly, when computer specialists were able to secure a copy of the malware back in 2013, it was found to contain names like `Daredevil' and `Warriorpride'; from documents leaked via Snowden it is apparent that these names can be linked to CNE activities by GCHQ and the NSA.
UPDATE 2013-12-04: Flemish newspaper De Tijd reports (in Dutch) that Belgacom is still struggling to control the remains of the malicious spyware at BICS. The remaining malware is said to be "so complex" that it baffles experts.
UPDATE 2013-11-10: here are a few Snowden-slides from GCHQ that mention Belgacom (click to enlarge). Der Spiegel reported (in English) that GCHQ used fake, malicious LinkedIn and Slashdot sites to lure Belgacom engineers and get malware on their computers to obtain access to a GPRS roaming exchange (GRX) router system operated by Belgacom-subsidiary BICS.
UPDATE 2013-09-27: The Belgacom compromise reinforces the correctness of the "Two Axioms for the Information Age" (I don't know who first coined these): 1) Any device with software-defined behaviour can be tricked into doing things its creators did not intend; 2) Any device connected to a network of any sort, in any way, can be compromised by an external party.
Here is a careful English translation of this original article by Peter De Lobel and Nikolas Vanhecke in Belgian news paper De Standaard. Hyperlinks and parts in  are mine.
Ping. It's Friday the 13th. Around 11 o'clock in the morning, the IT consultants that Belgacom employs at its largest customers in the private and public sector receive a message. The message doesn't say much, except for an urgent request to cancel all appointments of that forenoon. An "emergency conference call" will take place instead.
The news that is brought in that call makes the IT consultants gasp for breath. A piece of malicious software has been found on the network of BICS, a daughter company of Belgacom. It is hard to grasp even for well-informed insiders. The BICS network is so wide and deep that it is promptly clear to everybody that this is not just a Belgian problem. This problem is at least of European proportions. Because whoever controls BICS, controls the communication of a large part of the world. "This could have been larger than 9/11", says one source who closely followed the case. Without a grain of irony.
The pressure on the teams of the Dutch digital defender Fox-IT, that started cleaning up together with an army of Belgacom employees last weekend, was enormous.
It was their second attempt, various sources confirm. A first attempt to remove the villainous software from the infected computers at Belgacom in the last weekend of August was cancelled. "At the time, not all conditions were met required to remove everything at once", it was said. Some computers turned out to run the alternative operating system Linux, known of the penguin logo, not Windows. "The risk was too big that we could not remove everything at once. In that case you should not touch it. Or the adversary will know that the virus has been found", states someone politically involved.
The investigation of the hacking started on July 19th, when Belgacom went to court. During their work, investigators at the intelligence services, police and justice were very wary of a leak about the entire operation. In early September they informed the Belgian cabinet on strict conditions: the list of attendees of that meeting was kept closely. If a politician would have wanted to reveal the news before the malware was dealt with, the investigators would press charges for breach of confidentiality of the investigation. "We could not risk everything going wrong due to someone talking", it is said.
Belgacom was not infected with some common viruses, but with very professional malware that costed lots of money to develop. "We had to re-invent ourselves to do this", an investigator said. "In other investigations there is a fixed idea of where you're going, but in in this case it was continuously starting over because it was so difficult to get a grasp of the malware".
Gradually it became clear that the hackers are not only interested in the communications in the Middle-East, where BICS holds a solid position via South-African minority shareholder MTN. "They have been looking around and took what they could", state sources involved in the investigation. They are clear about one thing: the attack originated from the United States. "We determine that by the signature of the malware, but especially by where the trails lead. They partially run through the UK. We think the US is the main destination. And the past weeks at the US Embassy, you notice some embarrassment when you request exchange of information." Yesterday, the German weekly magazine Der Spiegel reported that the UK intelligence service GCHQ (Government Communications Headquartes) are responsible for the attacks. It based that claim on slides disclosed by whistleblower Edward Snowden. The news that GCHQ is behind the Belgacom attack is a surprise to at least the services working on the affair.
Perhaps it wouldn't hurt to make that drawing. BICS calls itself a "wholesale carrier". Two words, four syllables, but behind it is a network that spans the entire globe and the beating heart of which is located in our capital, Brussels. BICS provides the hardware infrastructure that carries internet traffic, phone conversations, text messages and mobile data of telecom companies and government institutions. And the more sensitive the customer, the more likely he is the end up at BICS. The daughter company of Belgacom markets itself with the argument that they never ever look at what travels over its cables. "We provide the cables for you, and you just send whatever you want over them", is what it basically boils down to.
A governmental source points out the consequences of even a limited disruption of phone communications and internet. "If a crisis occurs, what is the first thing a human does? Grasp their phone. Imagine that that lifeline is lost. Not just for you, but also for the emergency services, hospital, the fire department…? And for the police? At first glance it isn't, because they use the Astrid network [a Belgian national radio communications network intended for emergency services]. But that network only works apart from BICS for local communications. For interregional communications it is just as dependent on BICS as the rest. Hence, it is no coincidence that police chief Catherine De Bolle started looking for a backup for the communications system of the federal police on that Friday the 13th, just before the big cleaning operation would have started.
After De Standaard brought the news of large-scale hacking at Belgacom, it turned out that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the cabinet of the prime minister had been hacked. "And this is merely the top of the iceberg", states a source who was involved in the problems at Belgacom. Because telecom is one thing, but there are many other critical sectors that are the fundament of a country. Transportation, for example. Trains, trams, busses, highways, airplanes, everything involves computer networks and everywhere one should be cautious for cyber attacks. The energy supply is another critical fundament. And last but not least: the banking sector of a country. Luxembourg has already contacted the Belgian cyberservices [?] to obtain more information about the malware that hit Belgacom.
What about ethics? Isn't it schizophrenic that our country, Belgium, receives information about threats that the US or others have stolen from us? "That is the eternal paradox", a recipient of such information states. Diplomatically it is the hardest. But if you receive information about a serious threat such as terrorism, you cannot ignore it. Then you have different things on your mind.
Excellent! Thanks for adding that.
Thanks for trying to keep your important article up to date by adding other links. Interesting story that has not gotten the attention it deserves since Belgacom is located in the same country as HQ of NATO and EU. Also important for it shows that state made APT's do not allways come from the "list of usual suspects" (RF, CN, NK,IR). All cyber powers are engaging in this kind of dangerous activity.

GHA goes gold
Posted by David Cole on Thu 30th October 2014 - 17:46PM | No Comments
Tatton Park launch for premium brand
GHA Gold was formally launched by (LtoR): Glen Bubb, Transport Co-ordinator, Cheshire East Council; Councillor Rod Menlove, Cheshire East Council and Stephen Bryce, General Manager, GHA Coaches.
From its origins in Wrexham, GHA Coaches has been quietly growing in recent years to become one of the largest family owned business in the UK bus and coach industry. The next stage in the company's development was revealed last week. GHA Gold will be its premium brand featuring new high specification vehicles and improved service provision.
The first service to be upgraded to GHA Gold specification is the 88, a Cheshire East Council (unitary authority) route linking the prosperous towns of Knutsford and Wilmslow with Altrincham, where connection is made with Manchester's Metrolink system. The brand and upgraded service were formally launched at Tatton Park, a Cheshire East managed but National Trust owned property, by GHA's recently appointed General Manager, Stephen Bryce, and Cheshire East Councillor for Wilmslow East, Rod Menlove, in the presence of suppliers, local stakeholders and the media.
Welcoming guests, Stephen introduced the new brand as part of GHA's objective to 'change people's perception of public transport'. He spoke of the company's exciting plans for the brand with further GHA Gold services to be rolled out during the coming year. In reply, Rod praised GHA's commitment to providing a high quality service for Cheshire East making particular reference to the improvements in vehicle standard and service frequency. He passed on positive feedback he had received from a local resident who had praised the authority for the forthcoming frequency improvement.
Muirhead leather trimmed Lazzarini seats and wood effect Altro flooring create an appealing interior
The GHA Gold livery on the ADL Enviro 200s was designed by Sure Signs Ltd
The four vehicles required for the 88 are the first deliveries from an order placed with ADL for GHA Gold specification vehicles. The 10.8m Enviro 200s feature 37 Lazzarini high back seats trimmed in Muirhead real leather with one pair of seats over the rear wheelarch reversed to accommodate a table. This is particularly aimed at providing commuters with a convenient workplace during the journey. The seats incorporate the GHA Gold motif embroidered into the leather headrest material and the KAB driver's seat is trimmed in similar material.
The high specification also includes Hanover Displays destination equipment, wi-fi, CCTV, two TFT screens supporting audible and visual next stop announcements and GPS real time tracking. The appeal of the vehicle's high quality interior is completed by Altro wood effect flooring. Mechanically, the vehicles are to Euro5 standard with Cummins ISBe four-cylinder engines and Allison transmissions. Along with the rest of the GHA fleet, the vehicles will be fitted with Greenroad telematics systems as part of the company's drive for high levels of safe operation.
The GHA Gold livery and branding has been developed by Sure Signs UK, based in Wrexham, close to GHA's headquarters with input from Cheshire East. Sure Signs UK has been a regular supplier of vinyl signs to GHA but the development of the brand, encompassing publicity and roadside information as well as the vehicle livery, is a first for the company.
One of the vehicles will be exhibited by ADL at EuroBusExpo 2014 before joining the other three which were due to have entered service on 27 October.
GHA's relaunched service 88 provides Cheshire East with an increased frequency for less support, linking Knutsford with Altrincham half hourly between 0640 and 1825 on Monday to Friday with one journey less each end of the day on Saturdays. Alternate journeys divert through Morley Green north of Wilmslow and there is a double run in Wilmslow to serve the railway station. Easy interchange to Metrolink is achieved at Altrincham's new bus station although with space in the latter at a premium, meeting scheduled departure slots is critical.
Day and weekly tickets are available, valid across most GHA services, with an introductory weekly ticket offer at £10 (normally £19) available for the first four weeks of GHA Gold operation. GHA have set what they consider sensible and achievable growth targets with particular emphasis on appealing to the commuter market. Part of the service's promotion with Cheshire East has included one of the vehicles visiting Waters, Wilmslow's largest employer, and the distribution of details about the service on that company's intranet. System One travelcards are accepted within the Greater Manchester area.
The service 88 branding includes key points served on both the sides and rear as well as promoting the vehicles' on board facilities

The 88 is a key service for Cheshire East Council and one of a significant number now provided by GHA Coaches. In common with authorities throughout the country, Cheshire East faces funding cuts across all areas but has chosen to tackle the situation in an alternative way. After considering outsourcing, the authority has opted for an ASDV (alternative service delivery vehicle) in the form of wholly owned limited companies for each of the authority's areas of responsibility. As well as driving greater financial accountability, this should also allow these areas the freedom to undertake other work on a commercial basis. The companies are currently being set up with that for transportation services, TSS (Transport Service Solutions Ltd) on course to be operational from 1st January 2015. Councillor Rod Menlove will take on the Chairman's role for the new company. Amongst other companies being set up are those covering waste, funeral services and the management of Tatton Park itself.
The Council's proactive support in rebranding the 88 is part of ongoing developments to strengthen relationships with bus operators in the area.
GHA Coaches
With a fleet now approaching 250 vehicles, GHA Coaches Ltd remains a family business run by brothers Gareth and Arwyn Lloyd Davies, Joint Managing Directors, from the headquarters in Wrexham. Operating out of six depots, the company's bus operations span North Wales, Cheshire East and Cheshire West with routes projecting into surrounding counties.
Vehicles carry a variety of liveries including route promotional liveries for local authority supported operations and the retention of the identity of Bryn Melyn, one of the many operations acquired in recent years. Coach hire using vehicles in a silver livery with red and burgundy branding is offered throughout the company's operating area.

Q: Displaying same products with different images... PHP I'm trying to make a website for people to post their cars for sale. I've done posting data into database. Everything works fine, but when they go to Member's page, it should show them added cars with photo, and edit button.
Here's my function to display added cars:
function get_user_auto($username) {
//extract from the database all the URLs this user has stored
$conn = db_connect();
$result = $conn->query("
SELECT
images.filename,
car_make.make,
car_model.model,
car_generation.name,
cars.year,
cars.price,
cars.car_id
FROM cars
LEFT JOIN car_make ON cars.make = car_make.make_id
LEFT JOIN car_model ON cars.model = car_model.model_id
LEFT JOIN car_generation ON cars.generation = car_generation.generation_id
LEFT JOIN images ON cars.car_id = images.car_id
WHERE cars.username = '$username';");

if (!$result) {
return false;
}
//create an array of the URLs
if ($result->num_rows > 0) {
// output data of each row
while($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) {

    $make = $row["make"];
    $model = $row["model"];
    $generation = $row["name"];
    $year = $row["year"];
    $price = $row["price"];
    $filename = $row["filename"];
    $imageURL = 'uploads/'.$filename;

        ?>
            <img src="<?php echo $imageURL; ?>" alt="" width="100"/>

            <?php echo "" . $make ." " . $model ." - " . $year ." " . $price ." USD";?>

            Edit

<?php

}
} else {
echo "You did not add car for sale yet.";
}
}

So, i.e. I have added one car with 3 photos attached to it by car_id, when I retrieve data and echo it, it shows the same car 3 times with 3 different photos.

A: If you want only one row per car then you can add GROUP BY to query like this
GROUP BY car_id. This will allow only one row per car_id regardless of how many images car have (but it might not select image you like).

Big data corporations are always seeking new ways to capture data from consumers, and some of those tactics they employ can expose their targets – and at times, their employers – to significant privacy risk. Greg Sparrow discusses some of the most unknown privacy dangers consumers face today.
Now more than ever before, "big data" is a term that is widely used by businesses and consumers alike. Consumers have begun to better understand how their data is being used, but many fail to realize the hidden dangers in every day technology. From smartphones to smart TVs, location services and speech capabilities, oftentimes user data is stored without your knowledge. Here are some of the most common, yet least-known privacy dangers facing consumers today.

Q: Julia: communication between two processes in if-else I have a while loop, where inside of it, two interrelated processes occur. I wanted to let these two processes(one in if, the other in else) communicate. To better understand the problem, here is the situation:
count_if = 0; count_else = 0;
x_if =Vector{Float64}()
x_else = Vector{Float64}()
threshold=.5
while true
    x = rand()
    if x > threshold
        push!(x_if,x)
        count_if +=1
        ###IMPLICIT PART
        ##if count_if = 10, skip this `if`
    else
        push!(x_else,x)
        count_else +=1
        ###IMPLICIT PART
        ###if count_else = 10, skip this `else`
    end
    ###IMPLICIT PART
    ## if both skipped break out of `while`
end

So in a way, I want to make sure that if either of the x_if or x_else reached the limit length of 10, I do not want to add to them. And break rule for the while be when both processes are finished(i.e reached limit length of 10).
Of course I can implement this with separate loops, or set some other if conditions, but I was wondering if I can do this with one run of the loop. I also thought about using something similar to the producer/consumer as explained in the docs, but I was not able to figure it out.

Redskins Scouting Report
EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ - The Giants return to NFC East competition when they host the Washington Redskins Sunday in New Meadowlands Stadium. A victory last week against Jacksonville enabled the Giants to break a two-game losing streak and improve their record to 7-4. Washington dropped a 17-13 decision at home to the Minnesota Vikings, its third loss in four games, and fell to 5-6. Nine of their 11 games have been decided by less than a touchdown. Washington's five victories have been by a total of 20 points, two of them in overtime. But the Redskins are 2-1 in division games, while the Giants are 1-2. The Giants have won their last four games against Washington and lead the regular season series, 89-61-4. In 2009, the Giants won the season opener in Giants Stadium, 23-17, and the rematch on a Monday night in FedEx Field, 45-12.
Under new head coach Mike Shanahan, the Redskins are ranked 21st in the NFL with an average of 332.7 yards a game. They are 26th in rushing (90.7) and 10th in passing (242.0). Washington is 25th in the league in scoring, averaging 19.5 points a game. The Redskins are 32nd and last in the NFL on third down, converting only 27.5 percent of their opportunities (39 of 142). But they have a plus-five turnover differential and have lost a league-low three fumbles.
Washington's offense has been weakened by injuries. The Redskins are without their top two running backs, Clinton Portis (on injured reserve with abdominal and groin injuries) and Ryan Torain (who has missed the last three games with a left hamstring injury). If Torain can't play, rookie Keiland Williams will start. Center Casey Rabach is playing with a second-degree MCL tear in his right knee and guard Artis Hicks is dealing with thigh and groin issues.
Quarterback Donovan McNabb has played with sore hamstrings all season. McNabb has had an uneven first season in Washington as he adjusts to a new offense. His passer rating of 76.0 is 27th in the league and he has thrown more interceptions (13) than touchdowns (11). McNabb has completed only 45.9 percent of his passes on third down. But he still has a powerful arm and the ability to take off and make big plays with his legs. McNabb's backup is Rex Grossman.
Washington uses the zone blocking schemes that Shanahan employed with much success during his long tenure in Denver. But because of their injuries and personnel losses, the Redskins have struggled to gain yards on the ground. They have not run the ball effectively without Portis. Torain is the Redskins' leading rusher with 391 yards and three touchdowns, but in the games he's missed the team has posted poor numbers. In the loss to Minnesota, Washington ran for only 29 yards, including a team-high 11 by James Davis. Torain has two 100-yard games this season, but he didn't practice on Wednesday. Williams, normally the third-down back, would start in his absence. The Redskins have an NFL-high 40 negative rushing plays. Veteran fullback Mike Sellers is a rugged blocker and dependable receiver.
Santana Moss is still Washington's best playmaker. He leads the team with 62 catches and three touchdown receptions and his 778 receiving yards rank sixth in the NFC. Moss lines up all over the formation and he retains the blazing speed to make big plays any time he touches the ball. The other starter is first-year pro Anthony Armstrong, a deep threat with good hands. His average of 21.8 yards per catch (on 25 receptions) is second in the NFL. He has at least 40 yards receiving in eight consecutive games. Other than Moss and Armstrong, no other Washington wideout currently on the roster has more than four catches. Roydell Williams had been the No. 4 receiver, but moved up the depth chart when Joey Galloway was released last week. Williams is a smart receiver who finds voids in zone defenses and can move the chains. Speedy rookie Brandon Banks is vying for more playing time.
Because they are not deep at receiver, the Redskins often use two tight ends at the same time. They rarely run a play without a tight end on the field. Two-time Pro Bowler Chris Cooley has become a safety valve for McNabb, as he has been for other Redskins quarterbacks. Cooley has 54 catches and two touchdowns. Fred Davis gets a lot of action as the second tight end. Rookie Logan Paulsen has played in the last five games.
Washington has a tough and active offensive line. Hicks is the best and most powerful member of the group, a player who is solid in both the run and pass games. Left tackle Trent Williams, the Redskins' first-round draft choice this year, played very well early in the season, but has since been up and down. A starter since Day 1, he is athletic with good movement skills and he can handle speed rushers by himself in pass protection. Kory Lichtensteiger started the last three games at left guard, where he has displayed a rugged streak. Rabach has missed only one start in his seven seasons. He is very smart and tough and quick at the snap. Right tackle Jammal Brown is a big man with good body range. Will Montgomery, Derrick Dockery and Stephon Heyer are the top backups.
Under their new coaching staff, the Redskins have switched to a 3-4 defense this year. They are ranked 32nd and last in the NFL, allowing 400.9 yards a game. They are 26th against the run (131.5 yards a game), but opposing teams are averaging a league-high 4.9 yards a carry against defensive coordinator Jim Haslett's unit. Washington is 29th defending the pass (269.4 yards a game). The Redskins are 21st in scoring defense, giving up 23.8 points a game.
The defense has also had a rash of injuries, including safeties LeRon Landry (Achilles) and Kareem Moore (knee), cornerback Carlos Rogers (hamstring) and linebacker Brian Orakpo (ankle). Safety Chris Horton is on injured reserve.
Albert Haynesworth doesn't start – he plays in the nickel packages – but he is Washington's best defensive player. The Redskins' most explosive lineman, he creates havoc all along the front. Three of the team's most important defensive offseason acquisitions are on the line. Former St. Louis Ram Adam Carriker is the starter at left end. Ma'ake Kemoeatu arrived from Carolina to play nose tackle, where he is the Skins' most powerful member of the front. Vonnie Holliday, who is with his fifth team, is a backup. Right end Kedric Golston is Washington's most athletic starting defensive lineman. Phillip Daniels contributes at both end spots.
Three of the four starting linebackers – London Fletcher, Rocky McIntosh and Orakpo – never leave the field. Fletcher has never missed a game, playing in 188 in a row. Arguably the finest inside linebacker in the NFL, he leads the Redskins with 128 tackles (95 solo). Fletcher is exceptionally smart, he gets everyone lined up, he plays with a high motor that never quits – and he can cover tight ends. McIntosh is second on the team with 108 tackles (69 solo). Orakpo, Washington's first-round draft choice last year, switched from defensive end to linebacker, where his 8.5 sacks are six more than anyone else on the team. Orakpo, a powerful player who shocks on contact, has improved in all areas this season and is playing at a Pro Bowl level. The fourth starter is Lorenzo Alexander, who is replaced by Andre Carter is most of the sub defenses.
Landry moved from free safety to strong safety, where he was one of the NFL's hardest-hitting defensive backs. If he is unable to play again, the Redskins will have a noticeable hole in the back of their secondary; Landry had 101 tackles in the first nine games. Reed Doughty started the last two games in his place. Moore is the starting free safety. DeAngelo Hall has started every game at left cornerback, where he is tied for second in the NFL with six interceptions, including four in one game at Chicago. Rogers has started all but one game on the right side, missing the Tennessee game two weeks ago. He returned last week, but left early in the third quarter when he suffered an injury to his other (right) hamstring. Former Pro Bowler Phillip Buchanon stepped in for Rogers.
Washington's injury plague did not bypass the special teams. Punter Josh Bidwell went on injured reserve after four games and the Redskins re-signed Hunter Smith, whose 41.7-yard gross average is 29th in the league and 33.6-yard net average is 31st. Kicker Graham Gano has made 21 of 28 field goal attempts but is 0-for-three from 50 yards and out. The Redskins' most dynamic player is Banks, a rookie free agent from Kansas State. Listed at 5-7 and 150 pounds, he is fifth in the league with a 27-yard average on kickoff returns and tied for eighth at 11.3 yards per punt return. He had a 96-yard kickoff return at Detroit and two other long touchdown returns nullified by penalties, including a 77-yard punt return in the fourth quarter last week that would have given Washington the lead.
