Is it okay to tell an occasional white lie? And how do children learn to fib? We've gone to an expert to find out just how lying impacts our health.
Sir Walter Scott wrote about the tangled webs we weave when we begin to deceive. Just look at the endless parade of politicians and famous sports figures who have gotten tangled up in their lies. But research shows that lies affect more than our reputation — they can even affect our health and longevity.
"Research has linked telling lies to an increased risk of cancer, increased risk of obesity, anxiety, depression, addiction, gambling, poor work satisfaction, and poor relationships," says Deirdre Lee Fitzgerald, PhD, assistant professor of psychology at Eastern Connecticut State University in Willimantic.
So do liars create physical and emotional problems for themselves — or do these problems make people more likely to lie? "In most cases it's a combination, and in many cases these problems feed into each other," says Fitzgerald.
The main way that telling lies impacts health and longevity is through increased stress. Lying is taxing both physically and emotionally. Because one lie leads to another, you can be forced into a nerve-wracking cycle of lies that becomes harder and harder to keep track of. Long-term exposure to stress can lead to serious health problems and can decrease longevity.
Depression and anxiety. "When people lie to avoid dealing with emotions or problems, the same problems continue to occur and get worse. It just makes for more emotional work. This often leads to depression and anxiety," says Fitzgerald.
Damaged relationships. "Lies [hurt] relationships by damaging trust," says Fitzgerald. "Without trust there is no intimacy. Lying increases the distance between people, sometimes irreparably."
Shattered self-esteem. It's hard to feel good about yourself when you are living a lie. Lies can seem like an easy way out at first, but when you can't look at yourself in the mirror, your emotional health can't survive.
And then there is the issue of substance abuse. A teen that lies about using drugs or alcohol increases his risk of using it more, while decreasing his chance of dealing with it. In both cases, the lies impact the teen's physical and emotional health. Once you are in the grip of substance abuse or a gambling habit, lies are all but inevitable.
"When a child hears a parent lie to get out of a social engagement, they learn that lying is acceptable," explains Fitzgerald.
Lying children may lie to avoid a parent's anger or disappointment. "When a child perceives the price of the truth is too high, they learn to lie," warns Fitzgerald.
Children also learn to lie when they are not taught alternatives. Children need to be taught how to express their feelings in a safe way.
Another reason children lie: They may be trying to get attention if they do not get enough praise or recognition at home.
Recognize and teach the value of the truth and set a good example of truth-telling for your children.
Actively practice and talk about making good choices when it comes to telling the truth. Just like lies, telling the truth becomes habit forming.
Be actively engaged in your relationships with children and other adults so that you can demonstrate trust and recognize truth.
Think long-term instead of short-term. Lies may be effective in the short term, but help children and others see that they have many long-term negative consequences.
People learn to tell lies early in life. Lying children may be following the examples of their parents or may be lying to avoid their parent's anger. Even white lies can become habit forming. And it's true – truth is a much better long-term strategy and can lead to greater longevity. You'll avoid the physical and emotional stress that comes from telling lies.


When you're cruising through the air, have you ever wondered how your airplane propeller system works?
Tough as it may be to understand now, there was a time when powered flight was considered as suspect and impossible as magic. But the concerted efforts of scientists and engineers and innovators like the Wright Brothers soon demonstrated to the public that flight could not only be imagined, but also put into practice.
As we discussed in our post about the history of propeller design, early airplane propellers operated more like screws. It took the ingenuity of the Wright Brothers to develop a propeller that acted not like a screw but like a twisted airplane wing. But instead of creating a high/low air pressure differential to generate lift along a vertical axis, a propeller creates a pressure differential to generate forward thrust along a horizontal axis.
Think about it this way: when you toss a paper airplane it will generate a small bit of lift before eventually settling on the ground – provided you folded the paper right, of course! The paper plane took flight because the design of the wing worked in tandem with the force that you applied to it (your throwing motion). Now imagine if you were able to catch the plane in mid-flight and quickly re-throw it to extend its travel. Then re-throw it again. And again. And again, a few thousand times a minute. That's essentially what happens in a propeller system. The rotating blades serve as an infinite series of moving wings that continually force air rearward.
Things get a little more complicated as we move beyond that basic explanation of how propeller systems work. There are many factors that determine how effective a propeller system will be, including the number of propeller blades, the blade pitch, engine torque, and the speed of a propeller's revolutions. Understanding these variables (and a number of others) allow aeronautical engineers to design propeller systems uniquely suited to different applications.
As you would imagine, selecting the right propeller is a critical step in building a safe, efficient aircraft. Find the right propeller for your aircraft.


SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- Though he's not ready to name a starter yet, D-backs manager Torey Lovullo made a decisive statement about who was out of the running.
"I would say Zack [Greinke] is not in the mix to start Opening Day," Lovullo said Monday.
Greinke is slated to pitch against the Giants at Salt River Fields on Wednesday night. That lines him up to pitch Monday, March 26, at Chase Field against the Indians in an exhibition game and Saturday, March 31, in the third game of the regular season against the Rockies.
Lovullo said that had it not been for his groin issue, Greinke would have been the Opening Day starter, an announcement he had not yet made when the injury came up last Wednesday.
"Every staff has a number one, and he fits the bill perfectly," Lovullo said of Greinke. "He started last year. He won 17 games last year. He was our staff ace. He carried us numerous times in numerous situations, and he would have deserved the Opening Day start."
Of the 29 Spring Training no-hitters since 1908, three of them have been in the Cactus League, and two of those ended in scores of 15-0. So in the bottom of the eighth, with the D-backs trailing the White Sox 15-0, and Chicago tallying 19 hits to Arizona's nil, it was looking like déjà vu all over again.
Enter Alberto Rosario, who doubled to the warning track and broke up Chicago's no-no bid. Rosario, 31, is a new catcher in the D-backs' system who had three at-bats for the Cardinals last year, and made his Cactus League debut by getting the D-backs in the hit column.
"I know it didn't look like a great day, and it wasn't," Lovullo said after the 15-2 loss. "I want to focus on some things that went well."
One thing that went well was the 1 1/3 innings from Noel Salas, who allowed one hit and struck out one. Salas has pitched in nine spring games for the D-backs and hasn't allowed a run yet. He's walked one and struck out seven, while allowing eight hits.
"Salas threw the ball extremely well," Lovullo said. "He's been very productive. He needs to keep plowing away and doing what he's doing. We love what we see out of him."
Signed to a Minor League contract in late January, the 32-year-old right-hander is a veteran of eight big league seasons with the Cardinals, Angels, and Mets. Salas has a career 3.85 ERA and has pitched in at least 61 games in five seasons, including last year. He is fighting for one of the remaining bullpen spots, and he is forcing his way into the conversation about the D-backs' final roster spots.
"We're going to make some tough decisions as we start moving forward here," Lovullo said. "We've already made some tough decisions. What I keep telling everybody is keep doing your job and make these decisions as hard as possible for us. He's been throwing the ball very well, locating the ball, changing speeds. The things we need him to do, he's been doing."
On the other side of the ledger, Albert Suarez struggled in a start that could have solidified his standing as he competes for the long relief role. Filling in for Greinke on the day the D-backs' ace would normally pitch, Suarez allowed five runs on five hits and three walks in 2 2/3 innings.
"Suarez had some good moments, he just couldn't land his breaking ball," Lovullo said, noting that the White Sox propensity for sitting on fastballs and the lack of effective offspeed stuff was a recipe for disaster.
"That's where we need to get to with some of these guys, and we know we're challenged. That's the nature of Spring Training, and we got a lot of clarity in a lot of different situations today."
Suarez was a Rule 5 Draft pick from the Giants, so if he's not on the roster all season, the D-backs lose him back to the Giants. He saw his ERA balloon from 3.72 to 6.57 after Monday's outing.
Outfielder Rey Fuentes was hit by a pitch in his left hand in the sixth inning of Monday's game.
"He was X-rayed and there's no break," Lovullo said. "We're very thankful for that. Raymond's having a tremendous spring, and you hate to see things like that happen. It looks like a contusion."
Fuentes, 27, is hitting .361 (13-for-36) in Cactus League action and is a .238 hitter in 100 games over three seasons with the Padres, Royals and D-backs.
Robbie Ray climbs the hill for the D-backs on Tuesday as they travel to Tempe, Ariz., to take on the Angels in a 1:05 p.m. MST game. Watch the game live on MLB.TV.

Kevin Leu REALLY did finish in 3rd place at the 5th grade Science Fair at Sam Houston Elementary. Call them. Ask them if they keep records from 1989. He invented a solar-powered flag pole that would allow the flag to raise itself each morning, rather than have someone manually lower it each night and raise it each morning. It's genius. He still has a patent pending and is waiting for the royalties to come pouring in so that he can swim in gold coins like Scrooge McDuck.
Kevin lives in Cupertino in a house that he swears is NOT owned by his parents. His bachelor blog at SiliconValleyBachelor.com has had over 500,000 readers since its inception. After reading some of the posts, many of those readers never return.
I get a LOT of people who ask me how I can afford to travel so much, which is much nicer to hear than the usual: "get away from me, you perve!!!" Much to many a hater's surprise, the reason why I can travel so much has nothing to do with having a trust fund, receiving handouts from my folks, being heavily in debt, or moonlighting as a body double for Cristiano Ronaldo -- which is something I only did for two summers, before my body started to look much better than his.
Snapchat is doomed. Unless you call Twitter a resounding success story.
Currently, Snapchat is the darling of the tech world -- filing for their IPO Thursday (Snap Inc. is the parent company). To date, they've raised over $3 billion at a valuation of over $20 billion -- with nearly $2 billion of the venture capital coming in the last two years. Snapchat has said they want to raise $3 billion in this initial public offering.
Tom Brokaw famously defined the generation that grew up during The Great Depression, fought in World War II, and went on to build the infrastructure of modern America as "The Greatest Generation."
Ehhhh, they were okay. Apparently, Tom Brokaw has never heard of the Millennials!
It's now been three months since I said I would write more.
I find that to be a tremendous honor whenever I encounter someone who tells me that. Even though I have not written in months, that doesn't seem to be an issue. Very few seem to notice. I'd like to think that means my past posts are timeless and that there are plenty to peruse and laugh at until the early morning hours.
The Best International Customs and Practices That We Don't Do in the U.S.
While there's no ESPN Anchor friends, like last time... this list is still impressive.
I think it's somewhat easy to ascertain that I'm addicted to traveling. Having hit up most of the world's most popular tourist destinations, I've now moved on to places that are off the grid – in search of new experiences to shock my senses – where people may confuse me for some rich, successful, charming socialite, rather than a poor, bumbling neanderthal.
My addiction carries over to everything I do.
If only I had better photoshop skills, I would be riding a unicorn naked in my profile pics as well.
When I scroll through my newsfeed on Facebook and see a stream of former classmates and friends all married, with kids – some of whom have even started high school! – I wonder whether I made some wrong decisions in my life. Should I not have pushed away that sweet and caring television reporter? Or that hilarious and fun banker? Or what about that intelligent and ambitious single mother? Regardless, it was always something. I question whether I will ever be satisfied.
Having recently returned from several "third world" countries (and been to many others that are far less "affluent" than the United States), I was struck by how much more civility men publicly show women in other nations. I'd always figured there was a correlation between economic class and manners. I was wrong. It has much more to do with allowing and facilitating a culture that has accepted this kind of behavior as the "norm."
A lot of people ask me about my travels and for suggestions on their own travels, which I am more than happy to oblige with tales of my glorious conquests. I like to regale with hours and hours of dizzying, unnecessary detail – from the wait time of the airplane bathroom following the inflight movie to the amount of hotel towels stolen – that leaves the askee wishing someone would put a bullet in their head. It's just all part of the joy of loving my own voice!
Was The Last Four Years of My Life Worth Half a Million Dollars?
Four years ago, the me you see today would not exist if I had just said, "yes." And saying "yes" for me has never been a problem.
You can pretty much ask me anything and I'll say "yes." Grab something to eat? Yes. Go out tonight? Yes. Travel? Yes. Use my toothbrush? Yes. Turn around, lay on my stomach, pull down my pants, don't ask questions and find a happy place? Yes.
Do I Choose Bachelor Life Over A Relationship?!?!
I am not a bachelor for life. I repeat. I am not a bachelor for life.
One of the most common misconceptions about me – other than people thinking I just roll out of bed ridiculously good-looking – is that I choose to be a bachelor over being in a committed relationship.
I do not CHOOSE to be a bachelor.
I choose NOT to be in a mediocre relationship.
I don't hate on Justin Bieber. I don't hate on Kanye West. I don't hate on Kim Kardashian. I don't hate Michigan. I don't hate the Dodgers. Heck, I don't even hate Richard Sherman. Where I live and who I associate with might tell me otherwise.
In my opinion, not enough gals tell guys to "shut the f*ck up and stop talking to me."
Heck, I get that at least once a day (and twice at night!) but that's just on account of my personality. And that's just factoring my Mom! Who knows how high that number gets when I factor in people I meet everyday?!? Hundreds, maybe!!!!

Q: JavaScript IP regexp I need a JavaScript code that changes the IP address into rexexp, i.e: 123.123.123.123 to ^123\.123\.123\.123$ and the same operation for netmask.
Anyone has an idea?

A: Well, just a shot into the dark:
var ipaddr = '123.123.123.123',
    myRegEx = new RegExp('^' + ipaddr + '$');

That will generate a RegExp object with the string '^123.123.123.123$' and could get used like
myRegEx.exec( someStringVariable ); // returns an array of matches

This can be very useful when you need to build a regular expression "in-code" with variables. If you just want to have a string compare, you should go for the equivalance operator == or === or use the .indexOf() method.
Ref.: RegExp()

Update
To replace the periods within a string, simply use the .replace() method.
var ipaddr = '123.123.123.123';

ipaddr = '^' + ipaddr.replace( /\./g, '\\.' ) + '$';

A: I agree with Quentin. Use indexOf instead:
if (searchString.indexOf("123.123.123.123", 0) != -1) {
    alert("Yo");
}

Perhaps you need to explain the problem better.

Nicole Ross has been named head coach of the women's soccer team at Ohio Wesleyan University, it was announced by athletics director Roger Ingles.
Ross has been serving as interim head coach at Ohio Wesleyan since Nov. 30, 2015. She was an assistant coach for the Battling Bishops during the 2014-15 seasons.
Ross came to Ohio Wesleyan from the University of Massachusetts-Dartmouth, where she spent 4 seasons as head coach. She led the Corsairs to 3 Little East Conference tournament appearances, and recorded the team's first-ever conference tournament victory.
Prior to taking the UMass-Dartmouth position, Ross spent 2 seasons as a graduate assistant coach at Springfield College. She helped lead the Pride to a pair of New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference tournament championship game appearances, one NEWMAC tournament title, and an NCAA Division III playoff appearance. She continued her education by earning a master's degree in physical education.

"Union Syndicale dedicated the day of 23 October 2018 to the protection of workers against moral harassment at work, which is one of USF's top priority issues.
ALL TOGETHER AGAINST MORAL HARASSMENT!
Union Syndicale wishes to dedicate the day of 23 October 2018 to the protection of workers against moral harassment at work. This is an issue of top priority for our trade union.
We would like to invite you to publicize this action day in all places of employment of your institution/organisation. We must all against this scourge!
Union Syndicale federates a large number of the trade unions present in the European institutions and international organisations. It represents all staff working for the European Public Service, without distinction as to nationality, gender, creed, political opinion, rank or status.
To defend workers against harassment is one of our top priorities.
Despite the existing regulations in place, overall we notice an unsatisfactory treatment of the complaints brought forward, and we perceive a big gap between theory and practice. In May 2015 our Congress in Dubrovnik decided to address this issue. Following the Congress mandate on this subject, Union Syndicale has set up a working group, which is currently carrying out substantive work so as to propose rules to optimise the handling of harassment complaints, in respect, fairness and dignity. On a daily basis, we listen carefully to the problems our colleagues in the various affiliated organisations express to us. We, at the federal level, do not hesitate to take legal action when justified, even against high-ranking figures.
This day was launched at the initiative of IPSO (our affiliated section) at the European Central Bank.


With the advent of time, people across the world have become busier in their everyday life which has cut short the amount of time they spend at home and in the kitchen as well. Thus, chances are high that the regular and majority of the food intake is unhealthy and junk and incorporating a healthy diet becomes difficult too. Thus, due to the high content of saturated fat in the junk food, the chances of illness increase manifold and results into a lot of medical ailments as well. Even though the ill effects of food loaded with saturated fats are still yet to be confirmed, it is better to limit its intake and try to stick to food alternatives which are relatively low on the saturated fat content.
The best thing about nature is that it offers us the best form of food loaded with a number of benefits in terms of the vegetables. Almost all of the vegetables found and edible are specifically low on the saturated fat content, and instead are rich and loaded with nutrients, minerals and essential antioxidants which help the body to stay active and fit. Contrary to popular belief, veggies which are dried, canned or frozen, all are low on saturated fat. Care should be taken just in the case when having veggies cooked in oil or butter as in both the instances chances of saturated fat addition are extremely high.
The best way to avoid high saturated fat food is by the consumption of grains which are multi-grain and whole wheat products. Other such food elements low on saturated fat includes dried beans, oatmeal and sweet potatoes.
Fruits are another gift of nature to the mankind as all the edible varieties has something or the other to offer to mankind. Fruits are essentially rich in fibers, minerals, vitamins, as well as antioxidants all of which are extremely beneficial to the human health. With the goodness of the fact that fruits are totally low in saturated fats, they can be consumed without any worries. But, care should be taken in case on is having packed fruits in syrups as in those cases saturated fat levels are quite high.
Even though meat of any form is considered to be high on saturated fat content, there are some options which offer otherwise. Healthier options here are consumption of low-saturated fat meat products like chicken and fish which are usually lean in nature. Avoiding beef and pork are advisable.
Dairy products consumed are relatively low on the saturated fat content barring some of it like hard cheese like cedar, whole milk, fat milk, whipped cream and ice creams. Sticking to options like yogurt, both frozen and normal temperature ones, low fat milk, skimmed milk options and skim cheese products are low on the saturated fat content and are healthy to consume.

Consolidated's Childers: We're ready to look at other fiber provider acquisitions
by Sean Buckley |
Nov 13, 2013 9:42am
Consolidated Communications (Nasdaq: CNSL) may still be integrating SureWest into its fold, but according to CFO Steve Childers the service provider is hungry to pursue new deals that allow it to diversify its revenue streams.
Speaking at the Wells Fargo Securities Tech, Media & Telecom Conference, Childers said Consolidated is interested in looking at other service providers that could potentially enhance the reach of its fiber network to deliver metro Ethernet and fiber to the tower (FTTT) services to wireless operators.
"We are looking at assets that would help us continue to accelerate the diversity path and add some top line growth and those are probably based on the fiber side or potentially on the cable leveraging the experience that we're getting with our Kansas City assets," Childers said. "For the right size and the right valuation we would not hesitate to go into another state.
Fiber-based services, including fiber-based wireless backhaul and retail metro Ethernet, were key revenue drivers for Consolidated in Q3 2013.
The service provider reported that metro Ethernet rose 40 percent year-over-year. Being a traditional ILEC, Consolidated can accommodate the needs of larger businesses that want a fiber-based connection and SMBs with Ethernet over Copper (EoC).
"We really think being able to deliver Ethernet now in all of our markets on copper or fiber is really one of the key components of how we're going to deliver business solutions going forward," Childers said. "Over the long term metro Ethernet is going to have more growth opportunities than fiber to the tower."
While it sees great potential with retail metro Ethernet, it is seeing positive results with its wireless backhaul business. During the quarter it added service to 68 new tower sites has 180 other towers under contract.
"The fiber to the tower opportunity is not going to last forever, but we don't think we're at the end of it yet," Childers said. "It's probably more mature in the more metro markets than what we are seeing in the rural areas we serve."
Childers added that some of the wireless carriers "are still doing their first wave of build outs there so we still think there's some opportunity while it's there."

Davey, P., 2009: A species occurring in all districts apart from northern Scotland, the larva feeding on blackthorn (Prunus spinosa), hawthorn (Crataegus spp.), apple (Malus spp.), bramble (Rubus fruticosus) and pear (Pyrus communis). The snowy-white ground colour of the moth plus its roof-like posture when at rest gives the impression of a bird dropping. The vernacular name comes from the pattern made by the group of silvery scales on the branched wing rays in the centre of the forewing. In Dorset, the moth is common where blackthorn abounds, at low density where hawthorn is dominant, and rarely seen in habitats where blackthorn and hawthorn are absent. The peak of the second brood is on average, twice as large as that of the first.


I have just joined the forum and would like to introduce myself. I am interested in naval history and in particular the technology of and life on board warships from the steel and steam period. I have a large collection of photographs and last January, I set up a website to show some of my photographs in a novel way. Instead of arranging the photographs by type of warship or by nation, for example, I have chosen various topics touching on naval technology and life in the navy - keep fit, women in the navy, the rise of the big gun, naval aviation.....etc.
I hope that by joining this forum, I will be able to discuss the topics on my website with other members.
What's news is that China has just finished building it's new home built Aircraft Carrier, and the hints are that, while it may or not be nuclear powered, it features other innovations unmatched by the USA.
I appreciate the fact that your interest is in the Age of Steam, but, I believe that the US must not let China and Russia dominate international waters such as the Black Sea and the South China Sea. Taking a leaf from Trump's book, I agree that other allied countries should be doing more. The world cannot keep relying on the US to solve military problems alone.
Can you think of anything other than world war that could slow China down? This is when I expect biological weapons will be drawn. Since they do exist and they have been useful against China in the past.
The steam engine was what Artificial Intelligence will Be.
Nobody brings it home like a Victorian poet.
Wasn't it Mahan that came up with the 'decisive battle' theory. The Japanese made the Yamato and the Musashi for just such a battle, but the Americans (& Aussies, and Dutch etc) never obliged. Their big guns came to naught, especially with the use of the airplane.
I tend to agree, but whether it's a world war or one simply between the Allies versus Russia and China, I couldn't guess.
IF the western world went to war with China, I could easily see Putin using the distraction to feather his own nest.
Regardless, I think that the first country to use Biological or Chemical would find an immediate backlash against it, potentially bringing other countries into the fray.
I've been surprised at the lack of comment from the Philippines, Indonesia, Brunei and the other countries which could be impacted by Chinese hegemony in the South China Sea. I'm also quietly fuming at NATO and the world in general for permitting Russia's annexation of the Crimea.
Indonesia and the other countries need, IMHO, to send a message to China that it supports Australia and the US stance over freedom of the seas, and more importantly, take action.
But haven't we galloped off topic again.

AkzoNobel commits to carbon neutrality by 2050
27 March 2017, source edie newsroom
AkzoNobel has today (27 March) become the first paint and coatings manufacturer to pledge to become carbon neutral and use 100% renewable energy by 2050.
Best known for the Dulux brand paint, AkzoNobel aims to build on a sustainability agenda which has seen its share of renewable energy rise to 40%, with almost half of the firm's global sites having improved their energy footprint last year.
"Our ambition to eliminate carbon emissions and use 100% renewable energy by 2050 demonstrates our clear and unwavering commitment to sustainability," AkzoNobel's chief executive Ton Büchner said.
"We continue to identify areas of opportunity which will drive us forward and help reduce our industry's dependence on fossil fuels. This new vision for 2050 will propel us further along that path, while enabling us to make a measurable contribution to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)."
AkzoNobel to be #carbonneutral and use 100% #renewableenergy by 2050 #PlanetPossible https://t.co/7BJPWp8244 pic.twitter.com/bZNGYQNY4W
— AkzoNobel (@AkzoNobel) March 27, 2017
Painting a sustainable future
The commitment will be applied throughout the Netherlands-based firm's entire supply chain, helping AkzoNobel to continue to reduce its overall carbon emissions, which fell from 27m tonnes in 2013 to 24m tonnes in 2016.
The company offers innovative products and services that enables clients in industry sectors such as building, infrastructure and transportation to reduce their energy use and carbon impact. For instance, AkzNobel recently created an industry-first carbon credit scheme, aimed at financially rewarding shipping vessel operators for emitting less CO2.
Last week, it was reported that an innovative range of biocide-free marine coatings had enabled shipping vessels to achieve fuel savings totalling $3bn, since the technology was first introduced 21 year ago. More than 5,500 vessels have been coated with AkzoNobel's Intersleek range, which has helped ship owners save 10m tonnes of fuel and 32m tonnes of CO2.
The new range has seen AkzoNobel become the first coatings company to introduce anti-fouling coatings based on Lanion technology. The patented technology uses bio-renewable materials to deliver "enhanced vessel performance" that reduces drag while lowering emissions and fuel consumption.
Commenting on today's announcement, AkzoNobel's corporate director of sustainability André Veneman said: "Our pathway to renewable energy means going beyond the immediate business, working with others to create a wider change in society. That's the pathway we want to speed up. Partnerships will play a key role and we are at the forefront of working together with others to help the world move towards renewable energy quicker."
In addition to its strong carbon reduction commitment, Akzonobel also pledges to sit at the forefront of the paint industry's transition to a circular economy. Late last year, the firm unveiled an innovative not-for-profit paint remanufacturing facility in North West England, as part of an ambition to produce 100,000 litres of remanufactured paint by the end of 2017.

Luckily I found a new Virtual CD Drive program and it's just as free as Daemon Tools. It's called Virtual CloneDrive and it's made by Slysoft, the makers of the very popular CloneDVD. It's not a bad little app and I like not having to mount the image, all you have to do is just browse to your image file and double click it and CloneDrive goes right ahead and mounts it and autoruns it for you. Perfect.
Most Netbooks don't come with CD drives so definitely check it out of you need that sort of thing.

Q: name for a rational number between zero and one? I'm searching for a unified name to convey for the concept that a number will always be between zero and one.
Some info for context:
in probability we've got a number between 0 and 1.  Percentages appear to be similar in that we've got a number between zero and one, but it is multiplied by one hundred.
The nearest names that I've got so far are "factor" or "coefficient", but both of these names could be larger than 1, or smaller than zero.

A: Since the mantissa of a logarithm is a value between 0 and 1 (I'm just barely old enough to have used logarithm tables instead of calculators in high school) I thought maybe googling "mantissa" might suggest something (and if not, I was still going to suggest something like "a mantissa number" for a number between 0 and 1), and when I googled, I immediately found the following at Wolfram's Mathworld site:
http://mathworld.wolfram.com/Mantissa.html

A: The rationals in the unit interval are known as positive proper fractions. For a real number $r > 0$ its fractional part is $\:\{r\}\: :=\: r - \lfloor r\rfloor\:.\ $  (I moved this comment to an answer per requests)

In a bumper-to-bumper market, Isuzu has parked in first place for Canstar Blue's 2021 new car ratings, scoring five stars across all categories, including overall satisfaction.
Isuzu shifts into top gear as winner for new cars
Buying a new car can be one of the more exciting times in your life, as well as one of the most financially draining. As a result, it's not a decision to be made lightly, with so many options and factors to consider before you even step foot in a dealership.
To help you confidently grab the wheel and find the best new car for your needs and budget, we went around the block to ask more than 2,300 Australian motorists for their feedback on the new cars they've purchased from a dealership in the last three years. Respondents rated car models and manufacturers on important factors, including the driving experience, reliability, car servicing, point of sale service, after sale service, value for money and overall satisfaction. Car brands that received a minimum survey sample size of 30 responses are compared in our latest ratings.
In 2021, Isuzu was firmly in the driver's seat, achieving top five-star reviews in all categories, including overall satisfaction.
Best New Cars
Here are the best new car brands in Australia, as rated by consumers in Canstar Blue's 2021 review:

All other brands were a mix of three and four star ratings across the rating categories.
Car Brands Compared
When it comes to finding a new set of wheels, Aussie motorists have plenty to consider, so to help you find a brand that suits your lifestyle and driving style, here is a guide to the 15 car brands in this year's review.
Known for its range of trucks, Isuzu is perhaps most known for its D-Max ute, which has been in production since 2002. The D-Max is available as the X-Terrain, LS-U, LS-M and SX model, with the LS-U and SX models either available as a 4×2 or 4×4 model, while the X-Terrain and LS-M are only available as 4×4 models. With a steel underbody, 800mm wading depth, rear-differ lock, 3.0L turbo diesel engine and a 3.5 tonne towing capacity, the D-Max is one for those who are keen on going on plenty of adventures, or take plenty with them.

Featuring a power tailgate, reversing camera, remote engine start, rough terrain mode on 4×4 models to make use of the horses under the engine, the MU-X also features a 9inch infotainment unit with Sat Nav on the LS-U and LS-T models.
Isuzu was the one to beat in this year's ratings, scoring five stars in all ratings categories, including value for money, point of sale service, reliability and overall satisfaction.
Known for its luxury models, you wouldn't find many people who would turn down a chance to drive a new Mercedes. The brand certainly knows how to please rev heads, with a variety of sporty coupes and roadsters, as well as compact hatchbacks and larger car models such as the G-Class SUV, A-Class Sedan and C-Class Estate. And if you're really looking to put the foot down, the AMG sports models may get your heart racing, offering plenty of horsepower for you to rein in.
Mercedes also offer a number of electric and plug-in hybrid models, including the E300e, which features a 155kW engine output, 19inch alloy wheels, ambient lighting, leather upholstery, heated front seats and other comforts to help make the road trip more pleasant. But, as one of the sought-after car brands across the globe, expect hefty price tags, with the luxury brand one of the more expensive brands on offer.
Mercedes achieved a five-star rating for after sale service and point of sale service, with four stars in all remaining categories, including car servicing, driving experience, value for money, reliability and overall satisfaction.
A frequent sight on the roads, Japanese brand Mazda offers a wide range of vehicles for motorists to choose from, whether you need room for just yourself or the whole family. Models include the sporty MX-5 and RX-7, as well as the popular SUV range, which includes models such as the CX-5 and CX-9 for those after a bit of extra room. Other models include the smaller Mazda2, with the larger Mazda6 and BT-50 utility also available for motorists to get behind.
The Mazda3 is arguably the most versatile model of the Mazda range, available in a hatch and sedan model, and is one of the more popular models available in Australia, you'll have no shortage of options to choose from, with models include the G20, G25 and the X20 hybrid model. The base level G20 hatch includes 18inch alloy wheels, Sat Nav, Mazda Radar Cruise Control, rear spoiler, rain-sensing wipers, daytime running lights, two USB ports, manual or auto transmission as well as push button start.
Mazda achieved five-stars for point of sale service, with four stars in all remaining categories, including driving experience, car servicing, after sale service, value for money, reliability and overall satisfaction.
With the Swift likely one of the models you'll picture when you think of a small car, Japanese brand Suzuki has been a staple on Australian roads, whether it's on two wheels or four. With the four-wheel variety including models such as the Baleno, Ignis, S-Cross, Grand Vitara and Jimny, in addition to the popular Swift, drivers have plenty to choose from, whether you're after a small car or SUV.
The Swift includes features such as a 1.2L dualjet engine, 7inch infotainment unit, 16inch alloy wheels, daytime running lights, rear privacy glass, Sat Nav, Bluetooth connectivity and reversing camera on the base model, with Blind Spot Monitoring, Lane Departure Warning, dusk-sensing headlights, paddle shifters and rear parking sensors on the more expensive models.
Suzuki was rated four stars in the majority of categories, including reliability, driving experience and point of sale service, but was also rated three stars for car servicing.
Honda is working to give motorists the 'power of dreams', offering a variety of vehicles to suit families, first-time drivers, sports car fans and anyone in between. The Japanese manufacturer is also responsible for some of the most popular and well-known cars in the country, including the Civic Hatch and Accord sedan.For those who need something spacious, the Honda Odyssey and CR-V are some of the brand's largest models, with the Honda HR-V finding the middle ground for those not after a large SUV.
The Honda Odyssey is one of the brand's longest serving models, with the Vi L7 or Vi LX7 models available, each coming with 7-seats, 17inch alloy wheels, LED headlights, upwards of 322L of storage capacity and Honda SENSING safety features. The Vi LX7 also comes with an electric sunroof, hands free power tailgate and tri-zone climate control for additional comfort and convenience.
Honda scored four stars consistently across the board, with four stars for after sale service, driving experience and overall satisfaction.
South Korean brand Hyundai has become a mainstay on Australian roads, thanks in part to its very popular i30 range. With a vehicle fleet that also includes the Sonata sedan, IONIQ hybrid range as well as multiple SUVs – including the Venue, Kona, Tucson, Santa Fe and Palisade – Hyundai seemingly offers something for everyone.
If you're after something sporty, the Hyundai i20 N may be more your style, including 150kW of engine output, 6speed manual transmission, bucket seats, sports alloy pedals, sports steering wheel, multiple driving modes (including Eco, Normal, Sport, N and N Custom), the i20 N also features a 10.25inch infotainment unit, 18inch alloy wheels, rear spoiler, wireless phone charging, rain-sensing wipers and daytime running lights, rear view monitor and parking guidance along with Sat Nav.
Hyundai was another consistent scorer in this year's ratings, earning four stars in every category, including driving experience, car servicing and overall satisfaction.
Another major Japanese brand, Toyota has long been a favourite for many Aussie motorists, and it's not surprising considering the range available. With the Hilux ute consistently claimed to be Australia's top selling model, and Toyota at the forefront of hybrid and electric models, you'll more than likely see plenty of Toyota models while out on the road. Toyota's range includes the smaller Yaris and Corolla, with the Camry and Prius available for those after a sedan model. If you're chasing something bigger, Toyota has the C-HR, RAV4, Kluger, Fortuner, Prado and flagship LandCruiser available, with sports cars and even buses also on offer for those after something specific.
The LandCruiser 300 is available as a GX, GXL, VX, Sahara, Sahara ZX or GR Sport model, with the GX coming with 4WD, a 3.3L diesel engine, auto transmission, the choice between a 5-seat or 7-seat option, as well as features such as 17inch wheels, LED headlights, daytime running lights, rear spoiler, multiple driving modes and Toyota Safety Sense for additional comfort and safety.
Toyota scored a solid four stars across the majority of categories, including driving experience, value for money, reliability and overall satisfaction, with five stars for point of sale service.
Kia is another car brand that has gathered momentum over recent years, especially among those looking to treat themselves to a new set of wheels while still keeping an eye on their budget. If you're not sure what you're after, Kia has a wide variety of models on offer, from the compact Picanto or Rio, all the way through to the eight-seat Kia Carnival. The South Korean car manufacturer also has a few SUV lines, including the Stonic and Seltos for smaller SUVs, Sportage for a medium-sized option, and the Sorento for a larger vehicle designed for big families.
The Kia Cerato is one of the brand's more recent, and more popular models, available as either a hatch or sedan, and coming in an S, Sport or Sport+ model. The Sport+ model features 17inch alloy wheels, 10.25inch touchscreen infotainment unit with Sat Nav, autonomous emergency braking, rear cross traffic collision avoidance assist, push button start, heated front seats and electronic parking brake.
Kia scored a solid four stars across the majority of the board, including overall satisfaction and value for money, with just three stars for after sale service.
One of the more affordable German manufacturers, Volkswagen, or VW as it's more commonly known, has proven to be a popular option for motorists over recent years. With VW's smaller models, including the Polo and Golf, the backbone of the brand, larger vehicles such as the Passat and Tiguan are proving a popular option for motorists after something bigger. With VW also offering larger vans and trucks, there's plenty to consider, regardless of if you're looking for business or for personal use.
The newer T-Roc SUV is available as a 110TSI or 140TSI Sport model, with power outputs between 110 and 140kW, 8inch infotainment unit, an integrated Digital Cockpit, ambient lighting, 4MOTION Active Control, in addition to the IQ.DRIVE safety system, which includes parking sensors, lane departure warning and active cruise control.
Despite a three star rating for after sale service and car servicing, Volkswagen was rated four stars for all other categories, including value for money, reliability, point of sale service, driving experience and overall satisfaction.
Mitsubishi Motors Australia
Mitsubishi is one of the most well-known global manufacturers, spreading across a range of major industries, including air conditioners and heavy machinery. Marketed as a mid-tier brand, Mitsubishi Motors offers drivers one of the more affordable options in the market, regardless if you're looking for a small model such as the Mirage, or a larger option like the Triton or Pajero. If you're looking for something more environmentally-friendly, Mitsubishi Motors offers the Outlander plug-in hybrid electric vehicle range.
Mitsubishi's SUV range has also grown over recent years to include the ASX, Eclipse Cross and Outlander, with the smaller ASX featuring 18inch alloy wheels, a 60:40 rear seat folding split, forward collision mitigation, rear view camera, 8inch infotainment unit, USB ports and paddle shifters, leather seats and other features in the more expensive models.
Mitsubishi achieved four stars for reliability, value for money, driving experience and overall satisfaction, along with three stars for after sale service, point of sale service and car servicing.
Subaru is well-known for its Impreza and Liberty models, with the WRX adorning plenty of bedroom wall posters. If an SUV is your speed, Subaru offers the Outback, Forester and XV models, with the BRZ sports car available for those looking to put their foot down. While it may not be the option for those after a smaller car or large SUV car, if you're looking for a reasonably priced and sporty-looking ride, Subaru may be the option for you, with the Japanese brand a regular on racing circuits.
The Subaru Impreza is currently available as a hatch or sedan model, with the top-of-the-line 2.0i-S AWD hatch including a 4-cylinder petrol engine, 115kW engine output, 18inch wheels, multiple driving modes, Lane Keep Assist, Pre-Collision Braking System, daytime running lights, sports pedals, 4.2inch instrument cluster and two USB ports.
Subaru was rated four stars for reliability, value for money, driving experience and point of sale service, with three stars in the remaining categories, including after sale service, car servicing and overall satisfaction.
Another brand to cease manufacturing locally, Ford runs on imports from its overseas parent company. Despite the manufacturing hit, Ford still offers plenty of models for motorists to choose from, including the smaller Focus, larger Puma, Escape and Everest, along with the popular Ranger utility and heart-racing Mustang.
The popular Ford Ranger ute has no shortage of models to choose from, with both 4×4 and 4×2 models available, along with Super Cab, Double Cab, Single Cab chassis available, all of which run on diesel. Models are further split into XL, XLT, Wildtrak and Raptor X, with plenty of features packed into the workhorses, with the Raptor X Double Cab model featuring standard features such as Lane Keeping Aid, Traffic Sign Recognition, Autonomous Emergency Braking, Pedestrian Detection, a maximum braked towing capacity of 2,500kg as well as an 8inch infotainment unit, Sat Nav, two USB ports and an engine output of 157kW.
Ford was rated four stars for after sale service, point of sale service and car servicing, with three stars for the remaining categories, including driving experience and overall satisfaction.
Nissan has a wide range of models and car types to excite Aussie drivers, from the sleek GT-R to the family-friendly Patrol, and all the way to the tradie-approved Navara. The Japanese manufacturer has all driving-types catered for, with those after an EV-friendly model potentially interested in the Leaf. But if you're still not sure, smaller SUVs such as the Juke and Qashqai are also available, as is the popular X-Trail.
The Nissan 370Z is one of the brand's sleek sports models, and is available with a manual or auto transmission, 2WD drivetrain and petrol engine across a number of models, including the Coupe and NISMO Coupe. Additionally powered by a V6 3.7L engine, the base level 370Z Coupe features an engine output of 245kW, as well as 19inch alloy wheels, BOSE audio system, heated seats, reversing camera, three-pod gauges, 7inch infotainment unit with Sat Nav, with the NISMO coupe coming with additional power, sleeker aerodynamics and improved brakes.
Nissan was rated three stars for driving experience, after sale service, car servicing and overall satisfaction, and four stars for reliability, value for money and point of sale service.
BMW is one of several German luxury car brands dominating the market, parked alongside Mercedes and Audi. For some, the high-end car manufacturer can prove to be too hard to pass up. There are plenty of sporty models available from the BMW X Range, BMW M range and the BMW i range. This includes everything from spacious SUVs and hair-messing convertibles, to plug-in hybrids like the i3 and i8. So, there's no shortage of options when you step into a BMW dealership.
The BMW 3 Series 330i Touring model includes a 190kW engine output from sports Steptronic petrol engine, with automatic transmission, and is available as the M Sport model or as part of the Luxury Line if you're looking for some high-quality trims and interior.
BMW was rated four stars for after sale service, point of sale service and car servicing, with three stars for all remaining categories, including driving experience, value for money and overall satisfaction.
German luxury car manufacturer Audi has a wide range of models for drivers to get excited about. The A range includes sleek sedans for the city, while Audi's Q range will be for those looking to drive away in an SUV model. If something sporty is more your style, Audi offers the TT Coupe and anything from the RS line, to help you get your car and heart racing. There's also the Audi e-tron, Audi's first-ever all-electric vehicle.
The Audi A8 sedan model includes HD Matrix LED headlights, Audi Space Frame construction for improved aerodynamics and safety, 210kW of output from the 3.0L TDI engine, as well as AWD, 360-degree cameras, Collision Avoidance Assist, Cross Traffic Assist, ambient lighting, and a range of personalised and customisable interior features for additional comfort and convenience.
Suffering a fall from grace, Audi was rated four stars for after sale service, but three stars in all other categories, including reliability, value for money and overall satisfaction.
How much are Aussies spending on new cars?
Staying consistent with last year's results, Aussies are spending, on average, over $40,000 on their new car purchase. 38% of survey respondents stated that their most recent car purchase was their dream car, with 20% said that the car they most recently purchased was their first car. So while it's understandable that you might spend a bit more on your dream car or your first car, you'll want to be sure that you're getting a good deal, and aren't being taken for a ride.
Check out our article on average car cost to see a further break down on what Aussie motorists are spending on.
According to our survey respondents, their previous car lasted about six years. Over half (57%) said they opted for a new set of wheels because they wanted an upgrade, while slightly less than two-fifths (19%) of consumers needed more space. Alternatively, a handful of those we surveyed said they actually needed less seating or boot space (6%).
Another reason our survey respondents headed to the dealership was to snag a specific model (11%), such as for off-roading or for work. Just 13% of the people we surveyed bought a brand new car because their old car stopped running, while 6% headed to the dealership after crashing their old car.
If you want to join the 88% of people who believe they got a good deal on the price of their new car, here are some things they did before making the big purchase:
Researched their car online: 82%
Test drove before purchasing: 81%
Tried to negotiate a lower price 78%
Bought a new vehicle as part of an exchange deal, such as by selling an old vehicle at the same time: 55%
Timed the purchase of the new car to get the best price, such as by waiting for end of financial year (EOFY) sales: 50%
Should I buy a new car?
There's a lot to consider when it comes to buying a new car, especially if you're looking to get a good deal. You'll have to remember that buying a new car often comes with additional expenses, like stamp duty, insurance, and even that shiny coat of paint! On top of that, running costs such as car tyres and heading to a car servicing chain can also have a big impact on your bank account, meaning you will have to consider plenty of aspects before you sign on the dotted line. Regardless of which model, make or brand you decide on, be sure to shop around and haggle on price, as you may be surprised by how much you can save if you do your research and drive a hard bargain!

Q: get_result() Doesn't Work even mysqlnd is enabled It might be a duplication of many questions however i dont seem to get my answer from any of the questions present.I am using multi domain linux hosting provided by hostgator.I tried to use mysqli_stmt_get_result() but it throws me an error stating as anundefined method.I contacted the hostgator admin panel and they enabled the mysqlnd extension for me.I do see the mysqlnd extension enabled in   phpinfo of my website.However i still see the same error.
$mysqlnd = function_exists('mysqli_stmt_get_result');

if ($mysqlnd) {
    echo 'mysqlnd enabled!';
}
else
   var_dump("nope");

I tried to check if it is enabled or not , it says nope but i do see mysqlnd as enabled in my phpinfo.
What is the problem and how can i solve this one ? Plus using with any other method is not an option because i have already coded the whole project using mysqli_stmt_get_result().
Update:

Query:
 $stmt=$this->link->prepare("SELECT `Session_Data`,`ip_address` FROM Session WHERE `Session_Id` = ? AND `Session_Expires` > '".date('Y-m-d H:i:s')."'");

        $stmt->bind_param("s",$id);
        $stmt->execute();
         $res=$stmt->get_result();

A: Go to Cpanel ->PHP version under software section and change the options as below enable nd_mysqli

A: To make this thing work, Enable nd_mysqli in php extensions and disable mysqli. This will work like charm!

A: Yes It worked with nd_mysqli option selected. Thanks @BOTJr. It also shows 'nd_mysqli skipped as conflicting' as an warning so no need to worry just disable mysqlnd, mysqli and then enable again nd_mysqli option. It will work fine.


The Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010, signed into law by President Obama on March 30, 2010, created a 3.8 percent surtax on certain net investment income. The application of the surtax began on January 1, 2013.
(3) net gain (to the extent taken into account in computing taxable income) attributable to the disposition of property except to the extent the gain is from the sale of property held in an active trade or business other than a financial instrument or commodities business.
Self-employment income, active trade or business income, gain on the sale of an active interest in a partnership or S-Corp, IRA or qualified plan distributions, trusts for charity (except CLTs) and non-resident alien's income are all excluded from NII.
The 3.8 percent tax applies to all individuals who have adjusted gross incomes over the threshold amounts and receive net investment income as defined in the Act (see above). The amount subject to the surtax will be the lesser of (1) the net investment income; or (2) the amount of the taxpayer's adjusted gross income that exceeds an applicable threshold amount. The threshold amount for a single taxpayer is $200,000. The threshold amount for a married taxpayer filing jointly is $250,000 ($125,000 if filing married separate).
By definition, your adjusted gross income includes wages from work, net investment income, qualified distributions from a retirement plan such as a traditional IRA, 401(k), or 403(b), and any foreign earned income exclusion you may have earned during the tax year.
How Does the Tax Affect Trusts & Estates?
The 3.8 percent tax will be imposed on the lesser of: (1) the total undistributed net investment income for the taxable year; or (2) the excess of the entity's AGI for the taxable year over the highest trust and estate tax bracket ($11,950 for 2013).
The surtax will not affect everyone but its effect could be steep. Taxpayers, including trusts and estates, in the highest marginal income tax rate, which is currently 39.6 percent, will pay 43.4 percent with the surtax in 2013.

BERLIN: Continental said on Tuesday it would join a self-driving platform developed by BMW, Intel and Mobileye with the German auto parts and tyre maker handling integration of components and software.
Continental, the world's second-biggest supplier to carmakers by sales, said it would play a key role in commercialising the new platform, which is to be sold to other auto manufacturers.
"We can meet the steep demands in autonomous driving through an industry-wide collaboration more comprehensively, rapidly and at lower costs than by going alone," Chief Executive Elma rDegenhart said in an emailed statement.

Els Set sants fundadors de la Bretanya foren, segons una construcció literària i hagiogràfica tardana forjada a les acaballes del , un grup de set monges i ermitans vinguts de Gal·les i de Cornualla devers els segles V i VI, a l'època de l'emigració bretona a Armòrica. Hom els ha considerat fundadors de les set primeres seus episcopals a Armòrica. Aquesta mencionada literatura hagiogràfica procedeix de la voluntat de donar un origen cristià a elements pagans.

Història
La història dels Set sants és una reinterpretació cristiana de les migracions bretones a Armòrica que en comportaren la celtització (atès que els indígenes gals d'Armòrica ja devien estar del tot romanitzats en aquells moments). Llevat dels territoris de Roaçona, de Naona i de Retz, els quals havien romàs units a la civilització llatina i no s'incorporaren a la Bretanya fins al regnat de Nominoe (mort el 851), la Bretanya s'organitzà en set diòcesis fundades cadascuna per un clergue que, posteriorment, el poble va proclamar «sant», impulsada per la migració dels bretons insulars. Va ser, doncs, guiats per aquests migrants bretons, probablement caps de clan o membres de famílies aristocràtiques obligades a exiliar-se, que: «els bretons forjaren la llegenda dels "set sants fundadors i protectors de l'Església de Bretanya": sant Samsó a Dol, l'únic l'existència del qual s'ha pogut provar; Sant Maclovi a la vila del mateix nom; Sant Brioc a la badia del mateix nom; Sant Tugdual a Tréguier; Sant Pol Aurelià a la vila que esdevindrà «Sant Pol de Léon»; Sant Corentí a Quimper, i Sant Patern (un bisbe gal·loromà) a Vannes».

Els historiadors no han trobat de llur vida més que episodis importants i, especialment, miracles, extrets de vitae tardanes. Aquests relats conten especialment com va ser el seu desembarcament, en «menjadores de pedra» (a propòsit de Sant Maclovi i Sant Brioc). Es tractava, en realitat, d'una mena de barques que encara fan servir actualment a Irlanda, els coracles i els currachs. Amb el transcurs dels segles, els hagiògrafs han acolorat llurs relats amb detalls sense valor històric i, sobretot, amb molts de miracles que confirmarien llur santedat. Sembla que els set sants de Bretanya representaven, a l'Edat Mitjana, una mena d'idiotisme sacral propi de l'imaginari dels antics bretons, i que llur individualització i conversió en figura històrica no és altra cosa que un procés secundari i tardà.

Aquestes set diòcesis, doncs, passaran a formar, juntament amb les de Roaçona i Naona, les nou diòcesis bretones qui perduraran sense canvi fins a la creació dels departaments durant la Revolució Francesa.

Els set sants
Els Set Sants que haurien fundat set seus episcopals:

 Sant Malo, fundada per sant Maclovi (o Maloù)
 Dol de Bretanya, fundada per sant Samsó
 Sant Brieuc, fundada per sant Brioc
 Tréguier, fundada per sant Tugdual
 Sant Pol de Léon, fundada per sant Pol Aurelià
 Quimper, fundada per sant Corentí
 Vannes, fundada per sant Patern

El pelegrinatge als Set Sants de Bretanya
La fama de les set sants és a l'origen del Tro Breiz (un recorregut per la Bretanya, en llatí circuitus Britanniae), sovint anomenat també «pelegrinatge als set sants»; hom va crear aquest tour per honrar-los, atès que les llegendes populars entorn d'aquests sants són plens d'innumerables miracles esdevinguts prop de llurs tombes.

View Full Version : What caused this crash?
I think the majority of SE piston crashes are due to fuel mismanagement.
Actually, the overwhelming majority of them are pilot error, but this one does indeed appear to be logistics related. After flying for a fairly long time and maneuvering without difficulty, the 210 appears to have lost engine power. Most probable cause for that IS fuel mismanagement exhaustion.
The majority of all accidents is due to pilot error. Like 94% or so.
Statistically the majority of SE piston accidents are caused by duke mismanagement. That's running outta gas. Closely followed by crashing with an empty tank and a another one that still contains fuel.
Which is almost always caused by pilot error as they're not designed to "fall off".
I think the majority are LOC (mainly stall/spin, VFR into IMC).
But in the case where the arrival appeared to be under aerodynamic control like this one, fuel starvation is most likely, followed by engine mechanical failure, which is not really uncommon in ASEL.
Looks like it was the result of hitting the ground.
Well they were only flying for about an hour. Maybe they took off with less than they thought?
But there was no fireball. And if you look at the photos there is only a small amount of fuel on the ground after the crash.
To me that says fuel exhaustion. But I'm not an expert.
At this point, all we know for certain is they ran out of altitude, airspeed and ideas at the same time.

During his lifetime, Absalom built a monument to himself in the King's Valley, for he said, "I have no son to carry on my name".He named the monument after himself, and it is known as Absalom's Monument to this day. Thus the Bible in Samuel 2 (18: 18) describes one of the episodes in the tempestuous life of King David's rebellious son, Absalom. Traditionally, the King's Valley is thought to be the Kidron Valley, which runs alongside the City of David, between the Temple Mount and the Mount of Olives.
The structure that has long been identified with Absalom's monument is an ancient rock-cut tomb with a conical roof, which is indeed located in the Kidron Valley. Modern scholarship, however, has dated the structure to the first century CE, proposing that it is in fact the nefesh, or monument, of a neighboring burial cave. Apparently, during the Second-Temple period it was de rigueur for wealthy Jerusalemites to build massive monuments alongside their tombs.
Still, even if it turns out that it isn't the original Absalom's Pillar, the structure – like the nearby Zechariah's Tomb – stands as an important Jerusalem landmark and a prime example of Greek-inspired architecture in the Holy Land.
Not really a tomb and more of a monument. Nothing to go out of your way to see, but if you're in the Mount of Olives or enjoy looking at monumental structures, then definitely take a look.
