SupaSpun II precision graded density filter elements are a further development of our already well proven absolute rated depth type filter. These high performance cartridges excel in dirt holding capacity and give extremely low clean pressure losses as a result of the strictly controlled manufacturing of the fibre matrix. They are an ideal replacement for Pall Profile II filtrs.
SupaSpun II fibres are blown continuously onto a central support core, with fibre diameters controlled to produce different pore sizes throughout the extrusion process. All the layers are inter-linked to offer maximum support while ensuring that the high void volume is maintained, but with increasing fibre density towards the cartridge central core – therefore resulting in true depth filtration.

Vijay Sethupathi To Star In Karthik Subbaraj's Next Film With Rajinikanth!
The latest buzz from the Tamil movie industry has got us in a little bit of a tizzy. We already knew that Karthik Subbaraj will be teaming up with Rajinikanth for his next film.
The project, financed by Sun Pictures will now feature our people's son, Vijay Sethupathi!
It's no secret that Karthik Subbaraj's close ally has always been Vijay Sethupathi, both receiving their big break from their first project together, Pizza. Since then, he has come up with a host of successful movies, namely Jigarthanda, Iraivi and Mercury.
Rumours are afloat on which of the two stars is playing the protagonist, but we are willing to wait patiently for the release sometime in 2019.
Shooting will begin later this year. Why are we inexplicably excited about this yet to be named movie? Because in addition to these big names, Anirudh will be the music director of this feature!

Q: Can I recover my code from Spyder console even if the .py file no longer exists? So I mistakenly overwrote a .py file. I had run the original version of the file in the Spyder console yesterday and to my surprise, the console runs the original script when I give it the command to run the file with the file name even though the .py file does not have the code anymore. Is there any way I can get the console to show me the code that it's running? Or any other way to recover the file?
Thanks

The Authentic 44 DX and Style 36 DX were developed to match the original construction of the Classics that were produced in the first Vans factory in Anaheim, California. Cotton laces, heavy 10 oz. canvas, style numbers, original drill lining found on the heel of each shoe and a higher glossed foxing tape that captures the sheen that came from the original vulcanization process, are all design elements that were seen over 51 years ago.
As a nod to the retro styling, Vans designers dressed the Authentic 44 DX and Style 36 DX with Checkerboard in OG black and mauve colorways. Along with the timeless design, each model has been upgraded with an UltraCushÔ sockliner delivering modernized comfort.
The Anaheim Factory Pack pays homage to Vans' humble beginnings that led to five decades of pinnacle design. To catch the limited run of Classics, visit selected Vans stores and vans.eu now.

A sword wielding man attacked two police officers in front of tourists this evening outside of Buckingham Palace. The man was arrested and he's currently into police custody. Pictures surfaced on social media showing a police cordon and a numerous police cars surrounding the area, while Buckingham Palace is currently on lock-down.
The attacker was not identified by name and fortunately, he was disarmed/overpowered by the two police officers he attacked, being arrested at approximately 8.30pm, which is very close to the Brussels attack. Coincidence?
This maniac attacked the cops with a sword in front of dozens of horrified tourists. Following the incident, tourists were evacuated from the Buckingham Palace by the police.
"The man was stopped at approximately 8.35pm hours by officers at the Mall outside Buckingham Palace in possession of knife.
"During the course of detaining him, two male police officers suffered minor injuries to their arm.
"The London Ambulance Service were called and they were treated at the scene. They have not been taken to hospital.

{STUDENTS}
Six new majors pave way for students to be competitive in their careers and pursuit of advanced study
These majors are an essential part of the college's mission to equip our students to follow any path and to be adaptable and ready for the always-changing global landscape. Interdisciplinary, innovative and incorporating emerging trends and areas of study, these majors ensure our students will be engaged thinkers and doers, ready for the next steps of their academic, professional and personal journeys. To view more about these new programs as well as the college's other 80+ majors and 100+ minors, visit the College of Arts and Sciences website.
Integrated Major in Math and English (BS)
The Integrated Major in Math and English (IMME) is a unique and innovative program that combines the knowledge, precision and analytical skills acquired through the Department of Mathematics with the reading, writing, composition methods and information processing taught in the Department of English.
The major offers four math-focused concentrations: actuarial/finance, applied mathematics, math education and theoretical mathematics.
Students who graduate from the IMME program will be equipped to pursue graduate studies in areas such as law, medicine, business and education, as well as careers in banking, insurance, marketing, nonprofit management and other fields that require both mathematical awareness and strong communication skills.
Visit imme.osu.edu.
Philosophy, Politics and Economics (BA)
The Departments of Philosophy, Political Science and Economics have teamed up, along with the Center for Ethics and Human Values and Institute for Democratic Engagement and Accountability, to offer a degree in Philosophy, Politics and Economics (PPE), which will train students to think across traditional boundaries. The PPE major includes training in all three core disciplines, enabling students to study the forces and institutions that shape the modern world from more than one perspective.
Students also pursue one of four concentrations within the major (choice and behavior; global cooperation and conflict; justice and moral reasoning; or law, policy and governance). This integrative, yet focused approach will prepare students for careers in law, public policy, public service, business, education and journalism, just to name a few.
Visit ppe.osu.edu.
Statistics (BS)
Previously only available as a minor, the new statistics major encompasses coursework in the Department of Statistics and Department of Mathematics, preparing students to understand the design, collection, assessment and curation of data and how to apply these concepts to formal statistical models. Statistics is one of the fastest growing professions in the nation, and students in Ohio State's program will develop computational and numerical skills that are applicable in fields such as business, agriculture, education, science and engineering, finance, medicine and the social sciences.
Visit stat.osu.edu.
Medical Anthropology (BA, BS)
Students can earn either a bachelor of arts or bachelor of science through the new Medical Anthropology major, offered by the Department of Anthropology. The program draws upon biological and sociocultural anthropology to understand human health and well-being, taking into consideration human evolutionary history as well as the cultural, economic and political contexts of individual and societal health.
Students pursuing this major will develop the skills to tackle some of the most pressing national and global health challenges and go on to pursue graduate education and/ or careers in medicine, nursing, social work, public health, health policy and other social sciences with a health focus.
Visit anthropology.osu.edu.
Sociology (BS)
Joining an elite group of only four other Big Ten universities offering a Bachelor of Science in sociology, this new course of study positions Ohio State as a leader in this rigorous, research-focused major. While a BA in sociology is already offered, the BS option is more intensive and rigorous in its methodological training, as well as more research-focused. Tapping into the deep well of faculty expertise and robust resources at Ohio State and in the College of Arts and Sciences, the degree will allow students to become well-versed in both the substantive and methodological foundations necessary to leverage data, research and curiosity to investigate the world.
Visit sociology.osu.edu.
Italian Studies (BA)
While the Italian Studies major requires nine hours of courses taught in Italian, the program is not necessarily for students who are interested in advanced language proficiency. Instead it provides comprehensive understanding of Italian literature, history, society and culture to enhance students' understanding of global diversity. Housed in the Department of French and Italian, it offers a selection of courses from classics, English, history, history of art, medieval and renaissance studies, and music, as well as the Knowlton School of Architecture. The overlap of course requirements with classics, English, history and history of art facilitates double majoring.

Gasner G. Arehart
1. Gasner G. Arehart was born 08 Jan 1843, Butler, Ohio (son of William Marks Arehart and Jane Garrigus); died 24 Jul 1906, Kirksville, Missouri.
Gasner fought in the Civil War in the 69th Regiment, Ohio Infantry as a Private. He is shown as enlisting 26 February 1864 at age 21 and mustered out 17 Jul 1865, a few months after the end of the war, at Louisville, KY. Interestingly, the enlistment record shows a birth date of "about 1837", a date that exaggerated his age to 27. Whether this was a clerical mistake or an exaggeration is unknown.
Gasner and Lucy were married in 1863, before his enlistment. They did not have children until after the war.
His enlistment was at the heart of the Civil War. The 69th Regiment of the Union Forces fought some of the most difficult battles of the war that summer, including the Atlanta Campaign which led to the eventual fall of Atlanta and hastened the end of the Civil War.
Gasner Arehart alternate names on record:
Gasner G. Airhart
Gasner G. Earhardt
Gasner Gargus Arehart
Gasner Garrigus Arehart (Note that Garrigus is his mother's maiden name)
After Sarah Lucy (Brummett) Arehart died in 1885 at age 37, Gasner married Mary Francis Arnold later that year. They had two children, Lou Effie Arehart (female, born 15 Dec 1886) and Benjamin Peter Arehart (born 5 Oct 1888). Mary Francis Arehart died in 1888.
On 12 Dec 1890 he married Emily A Cadwell Crafton (born 1849) at Memphis, Scotland, Missouri. Emily's maiden name is likely Emily Cadwell. She had previously married Samuel Crafton in 1877 (https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/V2DN-V3Y). They are found together in the 1880 census (https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/M6ND-CZM) with 3 children - Ella Crafton (age 9), George Crafton (age 8), and Elliott Crafton (age 2). Ella and George would have been born before the marriage with Samuel, so they may not be her children (or perhaps not his children). No records can be found for these children with either Cadwell or Crafton surnames. Samuel was 62 (Emily was 1/2 his age at 31) in 1880. Records show that Samuel died in 1896, but Emily and Gasner were married in 1890.
It is quite likely that Emily is the daughter of Charles and Hester (sp?) Cadwell as indicated in the 1850 census at https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/V5PC-YFC. The dates match perfectly and the location is the same as where both are found later in life, but no other details on this family can be found.
Just over 18 months after the marriage to Emily, on 14 Jun 1892 Gasner married Annie Schnitger at Shelby, Missouri.
If everything above is factual, Annie was Gasner's fourth wife in 7 years.
The 1900 Census (see attached image) shows the following:
- He was still married to Annie. It shows her birth date as Dec 1842 in Indiana and a mother of 6 (4 living).
- The family living in Finley Township, Douglas County, Missouri.
- Gasner with an occupation of "Minister of God".
- Lillian, my ancestor, living there at age 20.
- Lou E. Arehart, age 13, living there.
The 1910 Census (after Gasner died) shows Annie living with her son (Albert S Schnitger) and Albert's wife (ironically, also named Annie - this is how I stumbled on the census record) and children in Union, Marion, Missouri. Annie was 65 at the time.
Most records show children of:
Obie Olie Arehart or Obie Ollie Arehart
b: 28 October 1881, Willmathsville, Adair, Missouri)
Opie Leslie Arehart
b: 26 August 1884 (or 1883), Missouri, United States
d: 29 June 1966, Los Angeles, Los Angeles, California, United States
There's virtually no details on Obie that I can find. Even Obie's gender is in question (records vary between male and female). With the lack of details, it's quite likely Obie died young.
Opie is also listed as both male and female, depending on the record. Some records show a death date the year of birth. There is an Opie L Arehart that married a Fannie F McDaniel on 26 Nov 1908 in Knox County, Missouri (the county the Arehart's lived in). He also may have married Lillian Belle Hannah 23 Sep 1937 also in Knox County.
Opie's death record in California on 29 Jun 1966 shows a birthdate of 26 Aug 1884 in Missouri, which seems to fit, and a wife of Fannie, but it shows a mother's maiden name of Kirk, which does not fit.
In short, I've found no concrete evidence to tie Obie and Opie to Gasner and Sarah Arehart.
Gasner married Sarah Lucy Brummett 1863, Butler, Ohio. Sarah (daughter of James B Brummitt and Margaret Ann Mann) was born 27 Jun 1847, Butler, Ohio; died 15 Apr 1885. [Group Sheet]
Lillian Myrtle Arehart was born 14 Sep 1879, Willmathsville, Adair County, Missouri; died 11 Apr 1915, Blackfoot, Bingham, Idaho; was buried Apr 1915, Marysville, Fremont, Idaho.
2. William Marks Arehart was born 05 Jun 1813, Butler, Ohio (son of George Earhart and Polly Marks); died 10 Sep 1883, Chetopa, Labette, Kansas.
The death and burial details (10 September 1883, Chetopa, Labette, Kansas) were previously suspect as there are no other known family events that I could find in this city. However, his grave marker was found showing this as his actual burial place.
Found on a web forum at http://genforum.genealogy.com/earehart/messages/3.html regarding the name change from Earhart to Arehart:
"My great-great-great grandfather was George Earhart. His son was William Marks Arehart. They had a falling out over George's chosen profession (my understanding is he worked in some kind of government position). William Decided to change the spelling of his last name to Arehart."
William married Jane Garrigus 25 Dec 1838, Butler, Ohio. Jane (daughter of Jacob Garrigus and Elizabeth Spivey) was born 03 Oct 1823, Hamilton, Butler, Ohio ; died 03 Jul 1915, Benton, Knox, Missouri ; was buried 05 Jul 1915, Rutledge, Scotland, Missouri . [Group Sheet]
3. Jane Garrigus was born 03 Oct 1823, Hamilton, Butler, Ohio (daughter of Jacob Garrigus and Elizabeth Spivey); died 03 Jul 1915, Benton, Knox, Missouri ; was buried 05 Jul 1915, Rutledge, Scotland, Missouri .
She is recorded as "Mary Jane" on some histories, but I've found no records of her being named anything other than "Jane".
In addition to the census records above, she also appears in the 1900 and 1910 censuses as a widow. Both show her in Rutledge, Scotland, Missouri. In 1900 she is 76 and living with a granddaughter L. Nees (it may not be Nees - the writing is very poor). In 1910, she is 86 and living with an Eva Vogt (age 20 from California). She lived to be over 91 years old, outliving many of her 10 children.
1. Gasner G. Arehart was born 08 Jan 1843, Butler, Ohio; died 24 Jul 1906, Kirksville, Missouri.
4. George Earhart was born About 1779, Franklin, Pennsylvania (son of Michael Earhart and Christine Decker); died 17 Jan 1838, Preble, Ohio.
George married Polly Marks 29 Dec 1799, Frederick, Virginia. Polly was born About 1779, Pennsylvania; died , Preble, Ohio. [Group Sheet]
5. Polly Marks was born About 1779, Pennsylvania; died , Preble, Ohio.
Most histories show a death date of 17 Jan 1838 in Preble, Ohio. This is the same death date as her husband George H. Earhart (or Arehart), so the date is suspect.
2. William Marks Arehart was born 05 Jun 1813, Butler, Ohio; died 10 Sep 1883, Chetopa, Labette, Kansas.
6. Jacob Garrigus was born 25 Aug 1790, Morris, New Jersey (son of David Garrigus and Abigail Losey); died 1836, Butler, Ohio.
See the attached A Brief History of the Garrigus Family or additional histories provided under Matthieu Garrigus for additional details on Jacob Garrigus.
Jacob married Elizabeth Spivey 25 Nov 1813, Butler, Ohio. Elizabeth was born 1795, Probably Virginia; died 22 Mar 1858, Sonora, Tuolumne, California. [Group Sheet]
7. Elizabeth Spivey was born 1795, Probably Virginia; died 22 Mar 1858, Sonora, Tuolumne, California.
Some histories show Elizabeth Spivey's parents as John Spivey (born about 1778, Pennsylvania) and Jane Vinnedge (born about 1778, Pennsylvania). I've yet to see any definitive records documenting this connection and do not assume it to be accurate.
Most records show John and Jane being married in 1796 (both at age 18), yet Elizabeth was certainly born in 1795 or early 1796. An 1860 census record in Hanover, Butler, Ohio shows a Jane Spivey (supposedly Elizabeth's mother) with a birth year of 1786, making her parentage to Elizabeth (born 1795) nine years later impossible.
We do know, however, that Elizabeth's last name was Spivey and that John and Jane Spivey lived in the same county in Ohio where Jacob Garrigus lived and where Jacob and Elizabeth were married. In fact, John Spivey appears just 7 lines below the Jacob and Elizabeth Garrigus household on the 1820 census. A John Vinnedge appears on the next page.
Additionally, Jacob and Elizabeth's daughter, Charlotte Garrigus married an Elias Moudy, Jr. in 1852. Elias Moudy's mother is a Jane Spivey, daughter of James Spivey and Jane Vinnedge Spivey. In other words, if Elizabeth Spivey?s father is James Spivey, then Charlotte and Elias were cousins - not entirely impossible, though this does further discount Elizabeth?s parentage.
However, Jacob and Elizabeth's marriage in 1813 was performed by Justice of the Peace John Vinnedge Esquire (likely the same listed on the 1820 census noted above). If Elizabeth's mother (or a sister?) was actually Jane Vinnedge, this man may have been her great uncle(?) - one anecdotal piece of evidence suggesting Elizabeth's parentage.
Despite all of this anecdotal evidence, I believe it a stretch to certifiably attribute Elizabeth to John Spivey and Jane Vinnedge Spivey. Indeed much evidence discounts this possibility. I think it more likely that Elizabeth Spivey Garrigus is the niece to this couple.
Elizabeth's son Finley and daughter Julia Ann Garrigus Knapp both state on the 1880 census that their mother was born in Virginia. Elizabeth's daughter Jane listed her mother's birthplace as Virginia on the 1910 census, but Ohio on the 1900 census.
Considering that there is virtually no evidence of her birth in Ohio, a birth place of Virginia is most likely. This lends further speculation to her parentage being John Spivey and Jane Vinnedge
Jacob Garrigus died at around age 46, leaving Elizabeth with many young children. There were guardianship hearings for the young children in Butler County in 1840 (4 years after Jacob's death). The records of these hearings are where most details about the children come from. It is unclear why guardianship was discussed, but this does suggest that perhaps Elizabeth had died or abandoned them. Elizabeth is unheard of again until her death March 22, 1858 in Sonora, CA.
I was quite puzzled by Elizabeth's death being in Sonora, Tuolumne, California, especially after having no other known records for her for the previous several years, and also because there were no other known family members or activities in Sonora at the time.
However, further research shows her son Finley Garrigus living in Sonora just a few years before Elizabeth's death in 1885 (his daughter Lucy Elizabeth Garrigus was born there in 1883). It's very likely that Elizabeth was living with her son at the time of her death.
There's no direct birth record for Elizabeth and no records that definitively identify her age. However, one can deduce a birth year of 1895 or perhaps 1896. On the 1820 census, Elizabeth is listed as under 26, making a birth year of no earlier than 1895. She was married in November 1813, probably at age 17 or perhaps 18.
Note that Elizabeth had 4 children by 1820.
3. Jane Garrigus was born 03 Oct 1823, Hamilton, Butler, Ohio ; died 03 Jul 1915, Benton, Knox, Missouri ; was buried 05 Jul 1915, Rutledge, Scotland, Missouri .
8. Michael Earhart was born About 1755, Pennsylvania; died 02 Jun 1837, Butler, Ohio.
There is a record of a Michael Earhart serving in the Revolutionary War; Seventh Class under Captain George Shriver, 3rd Company, 4th Battalion, Northampton County, PA.
This is commonly attributed to both this Michael Earhart and another Michael Earhart. Both were from Pennsylvania, but I believe it is more accurately attributed to this Michael Earhart because this regimen was from his birth county. Additionally, the other Michael Earhart was not even 20 at the conclusion of the Revolutionary War, whereas this Michael was 20 at the beginning of the war.
Additional name spellings:
Michael Earheart
Michael Arehart
Michael T. Earhart
From records and to match the spelling of his children, "Earhart" is most likely the correct spelling.
Note that his grandson, William W. Arehart, changed the spelling, apparently after having a falling out after his father (a source on this story would be wonderful).
Michael married Christine Decker 1778, Pennsylvania. Christine was born About 1756, Salisbury, Lancaster, Pennsylvania; died 25 Jul 1826, Butler, Ohio. [Group Sheet]
9. Christine Decker was born About 1756, Salisbury, Lancaster, Pennsylvania; died 25 Jul 1826, Butler, Ohio.
4. George Earhart was born About 1779, Franklin, Pennsylvania; died 17 Jan 1838, Preble, Ohio.
12. David Garrigus was born 18 Mar 1748, Rockaway, Morris, New Jersey (son of Jacob Garrigus and Sarah); died 02 Oct 1815, Hamilton, Butler, Ohio ; was buried , Hamilton, Butler, Ohio .
See the attached A Brief History of the Garrigus Family or additional histories provided under Matthieu Garrigus for additional details on David Garrigus.
David married Abigail Losey 18 Mar 1773, Morristown, Morris, New Jersey. Abigail was born 02 Feb 1756, Morris, New Jersey; was christened 21 Aug 1757, Morris, New Jersey; died 30 Dec 1817, Hamilton, Butler, Ohio . [Group Sheet]
13. Abigail Losey was born 02 Feb 1756, Morris, New Jersey; was christened 21 Aug 1757, Morris, New Jersey; died 30 Dec 1817, Hamilton, Butler, Ohio .
Abigail's maiden name was actually Losey or Losee. Some records depict the name as Loce or Locey as well.
No definitive records are available for her parents, though some records ascribe her to John Losey II and Hannah Holbard. I've yet to see definitive data making this connection.
6. Jacob Garrigus was born 25 Aug 1790, Morris, New Jersey; died 1836, Butler, Ohio.

Tomlin On Late Clock Management Against Bengals: 'If I Had To Do Over, I'd Do It Again'
Posted on November 3, 2015 at 2:23 pm
If he had to do it all over again, Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin wouldn't change a thing with the way he managed the team's final three timeouts in the Sunday loss to the Cincinnati Bengals at Heinz Field.
Immediately following that loss, Tomlin was asked about his decision late in that game to not use the team's first of three available timeouts that were available after a first down run by Bengals running back Jeremy Hill that took place with 2:44 left on the clock from the Steelers 26 yard-line. Tomlin defended that decision by saying the 38 seconds the team lost by letting the clock run down to the two-minute warning were less important to him than having one timeout for his offense to use to potentially drive for a game-winning touchdown.
During his Tuesday press conference, Tomlin was again asked about his late-game handling of the clock and if he'd do the same thing again if given the opportunity.
"Yeah, I thought I was pretty clear in how I outlined that decision after the game," said Tomlin. "I thought that having the ability to stop the clock was more important once we had the ball."
Tomlin went on to talk about how important it was to him for his offense to have the one final timeout and how he felt it gave that unit a level of control as it relates to how the Bengals defense would try to defend the field.
"Often times it dictates the coverages that defense play," said Tomlin. "They have to defend the middle of the field when you have the ability to stop the clock. If you don't have the ability to stop the clock, they're going to get in their cover-2 structure and rush their four men and really protect the sideline and that scenario was going to get increasingly more difficult if they got in that structure.
"I thought that by possessing that timeout it would give us an opportunity to at least have the ability to challenge the interior of the field and maybe dictate some of the coverages that they play and give us a better chance to navigate down the field We were comfortable with that and that's the plan that we went with and if I had to do over, I'd do it again."
Prior to that final drive beginning, kick returner Dri Archer decided not to return the kickoff following the Bengals final field goal as he chose instead to take a knee for a touchback. Tomlin was asked on Tuesday if Archer was told to take that course of action on the kickoff and he said that was indeed the case.
"No, I just wanted to give the ball to our offense," said Tomlin. "Often times that play is another play for the offense. And we hadn't done a great job in that game, at least in blocking [Cedric] Peerman. He had tackled us twice inside the 20.
"Dri did what we told him to do. If he brings that ball out, he probably gets around the 20 based on what we had seen and runs off about 4 or 5, or 6 seconds on the clock and I think that's what was on the clock for the last ball that we snapped. So, we wanted to preserve those minutes and give those seconds to Ben [Roethlisberger] and that's why we took the approach that we did."
Curiously enough, in the Monday night game between the Carolina Panthers and the Indianapolis Colts, the latter was faced with a similar clock management situation with only two timeouts remaining and down three points with 2:27 remaining in regulation.
Colts head coach Chuck Pagano used the first of his two remaining timeouts following a Panthers two-yard run on first down and his final one was used following another short run on second down. That set up a 3rd and 3 play for the Panthers with 2:16 remaining and an incomplete pass on that play resulted in a punt on the ensuing fourth down.
With no timeouts remaining, the Colts offense got the ball back on their own 40-yard-line following the punt with 2:02 left on the clock and they proceeded to drive the field for a game-tying field goal as the clocked went to all zeros.

Vezeeta eyeing expansion beyond MENA in early February, says founder
STARTUP WATCH- Vezeeta eyeing expansion beyond MENA in early February, says founder: Vezeeta, an app that helps connect patients with physicians, is looking to enter Africa and south-east Asia for the first time in early February, founder Amir Barsoum says in an interview with the National. Although the company is most comfortable operating in EM, it is also looking at interesting global prospects, Barsoum says: "Globally, we can be operating as north and south as it gets. As long as there's fragmentation in the healthcare market, that's where we can add value to our consumers or patients."
And it is seeking new funding to pay for it: Funding would go towards market expansion, research and development, and new products, according to Barsoum, who did not disclose the amount or timing for any new funding round. The International Finance Corporation invested USD 1 mn in Vezeeta in December 2018 as a follow-on investment to a September series C funding round in which the online platform raised USD 12 mn. The startup has reportedly raised USD 22.6 mn altogether since it was founded eight years ago. Egypt and Saudi Arabia are its biggest markets, having seen a "strong pick up" in demand over the last 18 months, Barsoum says.

Lessons Learned in the Army: Develop Leaders Three Levels Down
By Chad Storlie on Oct 31, 2018
Within my first six years in the U.S. Army, I had been a member of four different battalions (around 700 soldiers organized into four sub units), been a member of two combat arms branches, evaluated leaders from six different battalions, and been across the world and the United States.
Military training had taught me that the commander, the senior officer in charge of a military organization, was the most important person to look at to judge and to evaluate the quality of a unit. However, even my limited experience had taught me that the real strength of an organization is three to four levels from the top.
Junior leaders in any organization make an organization great or lead to its eventual downfall.
The breadth of experience so early in my military career taught me to look deep into an organization when evaluating how good it was. Of course, being wrong several times also helped me appreciate the strength of leaders three to four levels from the top as the real sources of strength in an organization.
During one of my first evaluations of another military unit in Korea, I was sure that the organization I was evaluating was a dud. The senior commander was bookish, not very fit, and not Ranger-qualified, a sin for a Combat Arms officer in the U.S. Army. Ranger School was, and is, that nine-week U.S. Army school where you sleep less than two hours a night and most soldiers lose 20-25 pounds. Combat veterans frequently state that Ranger School was harder than combat.
As I evaluated my unit, three levels below the commander, they were far from awful; they were awesome. They maintained their equipment, had good standard procedures, were excellent marksman, planned well, and took care of each other. So, even though Army training stated the commander was the most important person, it was the leaders three to four levels below him that made the organization a success.
This example, reinforced everywhere I went, convinced me that the only way to develop a great organization was to build, maintain and continuously develop junior leaders. These lessons are incredibly valuable for business as it seeks to simultaneously improve product quality, reduce costs, grow and offer a better customer experience.
Corporate Lesson No. 1 – Scrap Your Traditional Leadership Development Programs.
Companies love their leadership development programs because it gives them a recruiting tool they can vocalize. Companies need to scrap, throw away and cancel these traditional leadership development programs because they do not create the leaders that companies need. Instead, companies need to use coaching, distance learning and special projects to improve vast numbers of leaders at the same level.
Companies must abandon the great leader concept and embrace the great leaders concept. Developing a large base of junior leaders is how companies find and maintain success.
Corporate Lesson No. 2 – Set Up A Low-Level Job Rotation Program to Grow Knowledge.
Too often, a company finds a great junior employee and holds that employee in his or her current position for years longer than it should. A great addition to a large lower-level leadership program is to create and enforce the use of a lower-level leader rotational program to distribute experience, while teaching new skills, leadership aptitude and greater knowledge of the company.
Rotational programs that last six to nine months are an excellent way to develop new leaders, distribute best practices and build retention in proficient junior leaders by giving them new skills.
Corporate Lesson No. 3 – Create Innovation Programs from the Bottom Up.
Some companies believe that the best innovation comes from the bottom, where those closest to customers, operations, problems or the influence of competitors are working.
Companies need to have a formal, web and mobile-enabled, and structured innovation program to feed new ideas, develop the new ideas, vote on their development and then put them into pilot programs followed by full implementation if they are successful. Making junior leaders responsible for innovating new ideas at their current level prepares to make them great future leaders at higher levels of the organization.
Corporate Lesson No. 4 – Reward Initiative and Great Customer Experience.
Giving junior leaders and junior teams the right, the attitude, and the belief that they can and should act independently and act with initiative to identify and solve company and customer problems develops the most important skill sets for junior leaders.
I can teach someone Excel, data analytics and business statistics with relative ease. I cannot teach someone initiative, nor can I teach someone to care about customers. Business skill sets can be taught later in a career.
Business beliefs in initiative, in the value of customers and in the value of others cannot be taught in the future. Initiative towards solving problems and delivering great customer experience is what companies need in junior leaders.
Set about to build a great company. At every level, look past the CEO, CMO and CFO to the managers and team leaders that truly execute the company strategy and build the company culture of excellence. Look to the future to set your path ahead and then look down three levels to build a great team of junior leaders.

Elizabeth Smart Died in 1986. Her Work Still Haunts Me
Poetic genius, bohemian, copywriter: she taught me to never compromise
November 29, 2019 November 29, 2019 - by Dale HrabiDale Hrabi Updated 15:39, Nov. 29, 2019 | Published 12:15, Nov. 29, 2019
If you've heard of Canadian writer Elizabeth Smart, it's likely because of By Grand Central Station I Sat Down and Wept, her thin but thunderous book of prose poetry first published, in England, in 1945. Based loosely on Smart's obsessive pursuit of married British poet George Barker during her mid-twenties and the doomed chaos that ensued when they passionately collided, the book slowly gained an international cult following after its initial print run of just 2,000 and was eventually hailed as a masterpiece of rhapsodic fictionalized memoir. "Like Madame Bovary blasted by lightning," was how novelist Angela Carter described it in the sixties. Gloomy British singer-songwriter Morrissey plucked lines from it in the eighties to coopt as lyrics, including the novella's final sentence, "Do you hear me where you sleep?" The BBC recently adapted it as a radio play, and on YouTube today, viewers can hear Smart's lines tremulously intoned over shaky hand-held footage of the titular New York station.
Densely metaphorical, seemingly written at a fever pitch, and—as Smart herself freely admitted—only grudgingly plotted, the book has the richness and cadence of scripture. "There are no problems, no sorrows or errors: they join us in the urging song that everything sings," she writes of angels and the transformative effects of love. "Just to lie savoring is enough life. Is enough." Though Smart published a few other books later in life, and even her gardening notes have been immortalized in print, it is By Grand Central Station that anchors her literary reputation.
The Uneasy Friendship of Poets
Are Prose Poets Trolling Us?
What far fewer people know about Elizabeth Smart—and what she declined to mention during the years I knew her in the 1980s—is that she spent much of her working life in London selling carpets, tiaras, and transistor radios as a witty fashion and advertising copywriter. She was reputed, at one point, to be the highest-paid commercial writer in England.
Smart's romance with Barker didn't go according to plan and, to support the four children she determinedly conceived out of wedlock and raised on her own, she suppressed her literary ambitions and channelled her poetic talent into slogans and captions. Her copywriting defied the trite, formulaic conventions of the 1950s and early '60s. The cut of a cocktail dress was, in one of her ads, "as precise as a crocus." In what almost seems a bittersweet parody of the ecstatic language in By Grand Central Station, Smart once wrote of terrycloth: "O the rapture of no-nonsense unruffleable toweling that doesn't care two hoots how you abuse it."
Her commercial-writing peers revered her efforts. In 1959, the writer Fay Weldon, then a fledgling copywriter, shared a workroom with Smart at Crawford's Advertising Agency. "She would fall into the office from time to time," Weldon wrote in her 2002 memoir, Auto Da Fay, "disheveled and beautiful and infinitely romantic, with her quivering eyes and distracted mouth, and teach me how to write fashion copy: all adjectives and no verbs." Weldon told me that she and the other Crawford's staffers regarded Smart, who by that point had started to drink heavily, with a "mixture of awe and fear. Fear in case she was too drunk and awe because what she did was so good." But copywriting wasn't what Smart felt she had been put on earth to do.
Elizabeth Smart was born into wealth in 1913, an initially obedient member of the Ottawa establishment. A funny schoolgirl hiding an eccentric intelligence. A debutante, gorgeous and blonde. A compulsive reader, diarist, and memorizer of Shakespeare sonnets. A scrapbooker who squirrelled away couture clippings from Vogue, like one that pronounced: "It was black lace this winter. It's to be white lace from now on." A privileged, restless young woman, she sailed across the Atlantic at least twenty-two times, haunting London bookshops. That was where, in 1937, she first came upon the poetry of George Barker, then the wunderkind protege of T. S. Eliot. Upon reading Barker poems like "Daedalus" ("The moist palm of my hand like handled fear / Like fear cramping my hand"), she experienced a mental orgasm of sorts, later summing up her reaction as, "It is the complete juicy sound that runs bubbles over, that intoxicates til I can hardly follow . . . OO the a—a—a—!" She determined to marry him.
Over the next few years, she searched for Barker at parties, eventually tracking him to Japan, where he was teaching English. In 1940, she paid to bring him—and, inconveniently, his wife—to Big Sur, California, where Smart's peregrination had led her. She soon found herself with child, alone, and the obscure author of the quasi memoir By Grand Central Station I Sat Down and Wept, which the world would ignore for years. Though Smart's relationship with Barker continued off and on for decades, he never divorced his wife. By 1947, Smart was in Ireland, now with four young children all fathered by Barker. She was estranged from her appalled society mother and largely cut off from the family funds. Virtually penniless, she fed her children boiled nettles.
Something had to be done. Smart hauled her herd back to England and, setting aside her unremunerative desire to pursue her hybrid of poetry and prose, began her career in magazines and advertising. "She kind of crawled her way up from the very bottom," her son Christopher Barker, now seventy-six, told me over the phone from his Norfolk home. He describes his mother's mindset at the time as "desperate." Smart walked into the offices of slick London publications, he adds, and conned her way into writing jobs: "She said she could do something that she didn't know she could do." For House & Garden, she wrote of children, party-giving, and the publication's wine guide: "If your wine-love is true-love, mad infatuation, or tentative attraction," she ventured, "you'll need House & Garden Wine Book. Sold out in a few weeks, but now being reprinted for your delectation."
Presumably, advertising copy yielded bigger paycheques than magazine work, because she soon focused much of her energy there. In the early days, she dashed back and forth between London and the isolated country house where the children were tended by a witty, fractious pair of homosexual painters she'd befriended. She gave her brood little indication of what she did all week for money, or that Barker, who contributed nothing to their upkeep but appeared now and then, wasn't her legal husband. "She was very secretive," says Christopher. "She always talked about her masked heart, and this was certainly the case, not telling us really what had happened or what went on."
Smart's early advertising efforts, for companies such as Tootal Fabrics, seem constrained, as if she were trying to placate unimaginative clients. "If you sew," she writes flatly and, I imagine, a bit miserably, "you deserve Tootal fabrics." But she sneaks in bits of delectation here and there. She calls a little dress "as adaptable as a diplomat." A swimsuit is "stitched to make the least of your figure." Of a piece of outerwear, she deadpans: "Not just a coat—an accomplice to a busy life."
As the 1950s went on and Smart entered her forties, she found her way into Soho's bohemian scene, drinking and witticizing in private clubs with the likes of Dylan Thomas, Francis Bacon, and other "rogues and rascals," as she called them. Lucian Freud painted her portrait, she once told me, starting at the top of her head and working downward, "but only got as far as the eyebrows." As a rare member of the circle who was gainfully employed—though in an unspeakably pedestrian way—she often footed the bill. "Advertising was seen as a great shame and disgrace," Weldon recalls, "because you had opted out for the sake of money."
Determined to educate all four children in premium boarding schools, Smart worked and worked, freelancing for multiple ad agencies, penning a column called "Shop Hound" for British Vogue, and gradually committing to a more defiantly idiosyncratic voice. Of some "tough and indefatigable little chairs" from T. S. Donne & Sons, she quips that they "are unmoved by the most reckless sitters-down." Like the poet she was at heart, she always read her work aloud to evaluate its quality. A contemporary remembered that Smart occasionally began her work day by sniffing Cow Gum glue, a layout paste, perhaps to jolt herself to write faster. When deadlines forced her to craft copy into the wee hours, she sometimes sent her eldest daughter, Georgina, out to Selfridge's department store, where a friend who sold lamps in the basement could supply a couple of amphetamines. "I would get purple hearts for her," Georgina, now seventy-eight, told me in her Kentish Town pied-à-terre, "so that she could stay up all night."
Her children's recollections differ on whether Smart took pride in churning out such clever copy, even if the work was only a financial means to an end. "I think she was proud of it, yes," says Christopher. "I absolutely never heard her belittle it. I mean, she counted too much on it."
Georgina is emphatic: "She just tossed it off without much effort. For her, if it didn't cause her agony and torture and wrenching of soul, it wasn't worth much. She did get drunk a lot and say, 'I have a gift and I'm not pursuing it.'"
Though Smart remained largely unrecognized—the "real" writers she socialized with mainly knew her as Barker's lover, and her sole published book was still an underground success at best—her reputation as a copywriter grew. In 1964, at fifty, she was asked to join the full-time staff of Queen, a brash fashion-and-society magazine (now known as Harper's Bazaar). Writing nearly every word of its unsigned fashion copy, she pushed the limits, taking the sort of sui generis liberties with language that distinguish By Grand Central Station. For a feature on vacation clothes, she appeals to women who've grown lazy and disenchanted at the office: "Shirkers arise! Time for a paean of praise to fantasies and folies de grandeur before the workers lay you low." She even asserted her literary authority, writing the magazine's influential book-criticism column for two years.
Then, fate intervened when she was fifty-two: a power struggle of sorts pushed her out of Queen; By Grand Central Station was republished with fanfare; and she purchased a Suffolk cottage called "The Dell" that would, in time, become her permanent home, the place from which she attempted to reconstruct her identity as a real writer. She later referred to the purgatory she had occupied as a commercial writer as her "silent years." They were, Christopher says, "her way of putting bread on the table for us. The price was, I think she felt, her dream of a place in the pantheon of lionized and acclaimed poets and authors." Perhaps it wasn't too late.
Ifirst met Elizabeth Smart in 1982, when she came into my staid, shallow world at the University of Alberta, in Edmonton, as the English department's writer-in-residence. Though she'd had other, minor literary successes since her retreat to The Dell—a few volumes of poems, a jaded sequel of sorts to By Grand Central Station—I knew only that she was a sixty-eight-year-old Canadian who'd lived mostly in England and had written a book with a ballsy, indelible title. As a fiction-writing student, I was naturally immersed in words too, but I had mongrel tastes, being equally obsessed with Jane Austen and vintage fashion magazines featuring cover lines like "Pour on the Pretty Power."
I was suitably reserved when I first walked into her office, Room 3-29, thinking her a writer with a purebred pedigree. She was seated behind a desk, and I was struck by her hair, a sort of wild, leonine bob—nothing like the clenched perms of the senior citizens I knew—and her smile, disarmingly dazzling. Pinned to the bulletin board behind her was an index card on which she'd printed "Make the Verb Work." It was her sole addition to the barren space.
This exhortation, she explained, meant: seek out strong verbs that don't need administrative support from adverbs. Pontificate, say, rather than hold forth pompously. (Not that she was even slightly pompous: she spoke as someone whose essential shyness warred with an irrepressible charisma.) Despite this reverence for verbs, she told me, her favourite word was an adjective, obstreperous. I had to look it up: "wild, turbulent, unmanageable, difficult, rebellious."
I should have seen this as a warning: over the next four years, as Elizabeth welcomed me into her stormy, intoxicating world, she would both catalyze my ambition to be someone worthy of her friendship and painfully expose my inadequacies. A kindred spirit can turn out to be treacherous, both charming and overwhelming. It was years after her death in 1986 before I had any real understanding of the depths I'd been messing with.
Key revelations came when I read By Heart: Elizabeth Smart, A Life, an ambitious 1991 biography by Rosemary Sullivan, and first learned of Elizabeth's conflicted forays into fashion and advertising. By then, I'd found my way into the commercial-writing world myself, and discovering this unexpected overlap in our fates intensified my sense of being haunted by my late mentor.
I soon made a hobby of excavating her past, and exhaustive Google Image queries eventually escalated into pilgrimages to London. By 2016, after I'd become the editor of the lifestyle section at the Wall Street Journal, it occurred to me that I could simply buy an old copy of Queen on eBay and pore over it in the tub. One issue soon became six, and for around $50 a pop, I studied Elizabethisms like "A Change for the Sweater," the sort of punny headline I was cooking up for fashion stories myself.
I wanted more. In early 2018, I planned a two-day research trip to Library and Archives Canada, in Ottawa, where eighty-eight boxes of Elizabeth Smart materials are held, including scrapbooks of ads she penned, legions of her notebooks, and—I was startled to learn—three years of long-forgotten letters I wrote her, the first as a smitten and rather scarily unhinged nineteen-year-old.
That initial letter, sent in October 1982 soon after our first meeting, was housed in box thirty-four, alongside crisp correspondence from novelist Christopher Isherwood. Describing my reaction to reading By Grand Central Station, it begins: "I will write, I said, because I can't speak—can't speak the right words in the right order yet. Someday, I hope to. . . . Cut off my hands. Then I will speak." Unamputated, I went on to detail my thoughts, as a theretofore sheltered suburban teen, on her book: "I felt like I was, comparatively, dead—had never really been alive . . . I wanted to strap you on my wrist to carry around like an extra heartbeat—an authentic one." The letter ends, fatalistically: "You are becoming important [to me]. If you do not want this, take measures, take measures. Swat me away."
Elizabeth was feeling bored and unappreciated by the English faculty in Edmonton. "To think!" she'd written in her journal, earlier that September, of the Edmontonians she'd met, "I was going to enrich their lives! And I find myself poverty-stricken . . . Needing them—if only they'd take pity on. Where can I find it, where is it hiding—the passion and the life?" It's possible she saw passable passion in my nutso letter and, thinking it better than nothing, did not swat me away.
A friendship between us developed, its intensity fuelled by vodka, wordplay games, and what seemed, to my adolescent mind steeped in The Shining, evidence of a psychic bond: one night, in our respective beds on either side of the North Saskatchewan River, we both dreamed that we were sitting on straight-backed wooden chairs with paper bags on our heads. Elizabeth bought me books by highly stylized British writers, including Ronald Firbank, Saki, and Dame Ivy, intuiting that I was gay. Still, she gave me no indication of the years she'd spent writing fashion copy, though she must have known I would have eaten up such lore. Perhaps she felt it would mar her literary persona, newly restored. The paper-bag dream might have been telling.
She finished off her year in Edmonton and moved on to Toronto, where I stayed with her for a week. More vodka. More wordplay. An outing on the subway to see Woody Allen's Zelig, about a nondescript person who takes on the qualities of strong personalities he encounters. I remember helping her walk home from parties as she weaved and slumped against hedgerows. I remember accusations that I'd been trying to read her secret notebooks.
Creatively blocked and unable to write anything of consequence, Elizabeth decided to return to her cottage in Suffolk, to her family and her real friends. Our correspondence began to dry up. In another mortifying letter of mine, this one circa 1984, I lash out at her, evidently feeling stranded in Edmonton and bored by anyone who wasn't Elizabeth: "I miss you so much sometimes and other times you're just sort of mythical and dim and like a medal—I lived through Elizabeth Smart. And now I'm supposed to be content with the common fellow and the common gal? Well, that's just stupid. So fuck you for appearing and then disappearing and for being wonderful. Fuck you."
"Oh, she would have loved that," Georgina said fondly when I mentioned this old outburst of mine, "because she got nothing but ego stroking from nearly everybody." In any case, Elizabeth must have responded encouragingly, because I went to visit her in her English cottage for two weeks the following summer. That's when it became clear that I was too young and conventional to survive Elizabeth Smart at such proximity for long. On that trip, I met George Barker, who, by way of greeting, barked, "Are you a homosexual?" In a haze of sunshine, alcohol, and vintage Citroëns, I met Elizabeth's brilliant adult children and her intimidating friends ("Oh, you're the Canadian"). If Elizabeth had felt rather insecure among her "real" writer friends in '50s Soho, I felt intensely so in her circle: uncredentialed, dull, overwhelmed, jealous. I finally fled after one too many drinking sessions with old, extremely witty people who had a rich shared history and zero interest in me. I ran out at 1 a.m. without even saying goodbye—first to a hotel, then to Edmonton.
Elizabeth and I didn't speak for months. Later, in a letter, I blamed my exit on a "distrust of ripeness. . . . You must understand that this is why I ran away a year ago to Canada. I had forgotten, in two weeks, how stilted and pallid, how harsh and prim and relentless it was. But it was Home."
In box thirty-four, I found one more letter I'd sent Elizabeth some months before she died. It describes a phone call, a final attempt to reconnect and rekindle our friendship: "I am sorry to have telephoned you when I was so blue and stupid. Not even as an opportunity to watch something die," I added, in reference to our fraying bond, was the call "worth our whiles."
As I sat reading my own words in the Ottawa archives, wearing the requisite white cotton gloves, I realized that that something hadn't died at all: her possession of me had only grown more entrenched over the years. Like her, I am someone who despairs of boring sentences, who disdains hackery and compromise, though we both made considerable compromises. Reading her copy, I noticed that she characterizes certain pieces of clothing as "extroverts," anthropomorphizes sunglasses or plums or Venice, and, unconsciously or not, strings words together because they sound alike. All things I do too. Like her, possibly because of her, I write with my ear.
She does it all better, of course. In the era of Instagram ads, it is exceedingly rare to find copy that has anything resembling the curious lyricism and metaphorical resonance that Elizabeth achieved—or, as Georgina put it, "tossed off"—before she aged out of the fashion game (despite getting more than one career-extending facelift, according to her daughter). "When the towel got emancipated," she wrote, for Queen, in 1966, "a whole series of compatible holiday clothes emerged, in all shapes and moods. And they all mop up the sea. They all suck up the suntan oil. They need no care or attention. They loll and wallow with you with an unstrict chic, careless as in their old bathtime days. And they look even better when they're battered."
This is craft that blurs with art. Elizabeth's "real" writing has arguably eclipsed George Barker's (By Grand Central Station is still in print; most of his poems are not), but the hard work of her so-called silent years speaks compellingly too. Even when the going got tedious, Elizabeth did not give in to hackery. When I'm tempted to do so myself, I feel her rueful disapproval through the decades. Never compromise, I hear her say. And I redouble my efforts to make the verb work, still trying to be someone worthy of her notice.

Панцерверфер () е името на две различни полуверижни установки за залпов огън използвани от Германия по време на Втората световна война. Двете машини са 150 мм Panzerwerfer 42 auf Selbstfahrlafette Sd.Kfz.4/1 (базирана на полуверижния Опел Maultier ()) и 150 мм Panzerwerfer 42 auf Schwerer Wehrmachtsschlepper. Някои модели имат монтирана картечница над мястото на шофьора.

Разработка и производство
През януари 1942 г. Адолф Хитлер издава заповед за изработване на нова машина. Производството на Панцерверфер 42 модел Maultier (Sd.Kfz. 4/1) започва през април 1943 г. и е произвеждан до март 1945 г. Първите бойни тестове са проведени есента на 1943 г. Опел е основният производител на повечето компоненти, включително 3.6 литровия, 6-цилиндров двигател на Адам Опел. През годините на производство са произведени 300 Панцерверфер и 289 машини за пренасяне на муниции () (Sd.Kfz. 4). Вторият вариант е същата машина, но без ракетната пускова установка. Панцерверфер разполага със 150 мм, 10 цевна пускова установка, която е способна да се върти на 270 градуса, позволява вертикално движение до 80 градуса и има монтиран оптичен мерник RA35. Екипажът е трима души – командир, който е също водач, радиооператор и стрелец.

Втората разновидност е базирана на Schwerer Wehrmachtsschlepper. На няколко машини са монтирани 150 мм пускови установки Nebelwerfer, но точният брой е неизвестен.

Ефективният обхван на ракетите на Панцерверфер е около 4000 – 6500 метра, максималния е по-малко от 7000 метра.

Бойна служба
Панцерверфер участва в бойни действия на двата фронта, но за първи път е използван в Съветския съюз в края на 1943 г. Според някои източници няколко протитипа са тествани по време на боевете край Курск. Използван е за бомбардировка на големи райони, като към унищожителната мощ на ракетите се добавят психологични елементи – силен звук, пушек, шрапнели. След широкото използване на Източния фронт на 14 май 1944 г. оръжието е представено и на Западния фронт, във Франция.

Оцелели
До днес са оцелели малък брой Панцерверфер 42. Най-добре запазеният е в танков музей в Сомюр, Франция. Възстановен е до работно състояние, като са използвани голям брой оригинални части, включително 150 мм пускова установка Nebelwerfer 41. Още една такава установка се намира в Кобленц, Германия.

As humans, we naturally fear certain things in life – fear is either innate or put into our heads because of our upbringing, but as I've gotten older, I've realized that fear really is a choice and has everything to do with your perception of a situation.
For the longest time, I've been nervous – or afraid – to reverse into a parking spot. I mean, properly reverse park – not cheat park by driving into a spot or do it haphazardly when no cars are parked in the adjacent spots. I am generally a good driver, and front parking has never been an issue, but when I see people breezing into a parking space in reverse mode, I'm always like, why can't I do that?
So for years, I've always avoided it at any costs, even when it's a better option to reverse, like when you're in a congested plaza – which reminds me of a funny side story: when I went for my G2 road test years ago, I had heard through the grapevine that if you had passed your test, your examiner would ask you to reverse park; so when mine did, I think the excitement and adrenaline took over, because I somehow (mind you 10 minutes later) managed to reverse (albeit crookedly) into a spot with two cars parked on either side – that were left unscathed. 🙂 At that time, there was no such thing as a reverse camera, and that was the only time I ever attempted it for years. My thought was, I got my license, now I'm golden and I'll never have to bother doing that again.
Enter condo living – where your garage is now a communal underground parking lot with spots so tight that you sometimes wonder how a regular-sized car could even fit. I think this was God's way of telling me that it was time to smarten up and finally face my fears because the spot I had been given was right beside a pillar and it was one of those spots where it would actually be harder to front park. Go figure!
So at first I was very nervous but also very frustrated at my inability to do this – and then I kept reminding myself that the only person stopping me from trying to get better at this was me. I have a reverse camera, I know how to navigate, but it was ultimately my deep-seeded fear that kept clouding my confidence.
So I started in increments – slowly but surely building my confidence up in snippets. I was determined to do this! I remember a friend who just breezed into a tiny spot one time when we went out – using only one hand! I kept thinking to myself, if she can do it, why can't I? That self-annoyance was the first step to positive change. At first I would only attempt when the spot beside me was free – just to practice – and I started getting okay at that. Then came the big kahuna – reversing with a car parked on one side and a pillar on the other side and a row of cars in front of me – oh boy! My nerves automatically kicked in but inadvertently also kept me focused, and after a few (or a dozen) attempts of maneuvering back and forth – I did it! I finally backed into a spot on my own leaving my vehicle and those around me in tact. I know this sounds silly, but I was so proud of myself. It was a huge deal to me because it was something that had been gnawing at me for the longest time.
Now I'm at a point where I only reverse into my spot, but I do have those days where my sense of navigation is a bit off and it will take a couple of tries to get it right, but I stick to it and don't give up. I also don't get as nervous anymore because I've gained more confidence in my ability to do it. As they say – practice makes perfect. I might still get a little apprehensive if I were driving with other people or had an audience watching me, but the fact that I have finally developed enough confidence to at least do it at all is the first step in the right direction.
So if you find that you are hindering yourself from leading a more efficient lifestyle because of a pesky, unwavering fear – take a moment and re-evaluate that fear, think about the good that would come out of overcoming that fear, and then take those first baby steps towards achieving that goal.
I had this same fear too, still do a bit. I'm going for my G test in a month and am a bit nervous if they ask me to reverse into a spot. Yesterday, I did it perfectly. And I've done it properly multiple times before. But there is still that small doubt in me that the one time it'll really matter, I'll find a way to mess it up. So it's encouraging to read that you got over your fear!
Update: I passed my G test! Went in there confident and it all turned out well. Thanks for the help!
Sarah, this was an awesome post. I say that because it was so honest and true. It was also awesome because it reminds us that we can do more, be better, strive for more–even if that striving is something small (seemingly to others, though perhaps not to yourself). Success and challenge are habits that you can put in your life.
You're not the only one who had a fear of reverse parking (I like that I said that in past tense)—I am still afraid of reverse parking without my camera. With my camera I'm a pro, but if I have to drive a car without one, I'll be in trouble. What about those who reverse into a parallel park?!—Yeah that'll take me some years to learn. Haha.
I'm so happy you faced your fear.. I've been afraid of reversing onto a major road, but I had to do it by force because that's how my country's infrastructure is set up (third world issues).

Prison sentence for dangerous driver who crashed outside Frimley Park Hospital
Richard Fuller, 54, of Bowenhurst Road, was jailed for two years and three months after an investigation by HMRC found he never declared earnings from the sales of properties in the Aldershot area to evade capital gains tax.
He was ordered to repay the full amount or face more time in prison, but paid only £1,400. He has now been jailed for a further two years and still owes the money.
Richard Wilkinson, assistant director of the Fraud Investigation Service at HMRC, said: "This case proves crime doesn't pay. Fuller was ordered to pay back the money but didn't so he'll be spending Christmas in prison and still owe the money he stole.Our work does not end when fraudsters are jailed. We will always try to recover the proceeds of crime and ensure they are spent on our vital public services."
Fuller was convicted after a trial of cheating the public revenue and fraud by false representation and sentenced at Winchester Crown Court on August 11, 2017.

South Korea Rescues Crew and Ship From Pirates

SEOUL, South Korea — South Korean special forces staged a daring early morning rescue on a hijacked freighter hundreds of miles off the coast of Somalia on Friday, killing eight pirates and rescuing all 21 hostages, the South Korean military said.
President Lee Myung-bak, who was sharply criticized last year over what was deemed a weak response to the sinking of a warship and the North Korean shelling of a South Korean island, reaffirmed his country's tough stance against pirates and appeared pleased with the operation in a televised statement.
"We will not tolerate any behavior that threatens the lives and safety of our people in the future," Mr. Lee said.
Rescue operations on hijacked ships are rare, with countries often deciding against such attempts over concerns for the safety of the crew. Most shipping companies, in turn, opt to pay the expensive ransoms demanded by Somali pirates to release hijacked ships rather than engage in confrontations.
The rescue began at 5 a.m. Friday, when a special forces team from a South Korean destroyer piled into a small vessel and approached the hijacked ship as the destroyer provided cover, according to the military. The commandos then confronted the pirates, who were armed with AK-47s, heavy machine guns and rocket-propelled grenades, in a battle that lasted five hours.
Three South Korean soldiers were wounded, the military said, and the hijacked ship's captain, a South Korean, was shot in the abdomen, but his injuries were said not to be life-threatening. The entire crew was then brought to safety.
The 11,500-ton freighter, the Samho Jewelry, was traveling to Sri Lanka from the United Arab Emirates last Saturday when it was seized by the pirates about 800 miles off the coast of northeast Somalia.
The South Korean government dispatched a naval destroyer on antipiracy patrol to track the ship. South Korea, like other nations, patrols the waters off Somalia since the increase in pirate attacks in recent years.
While the pirates held the 21-person crew — including 8 South Koreans, 2 Indonesians and 11 citizens of Myanmar — they simultaneously began using the large cargo ship as a base to try further attacks on nearby ships.
The standoff between the destroyer and the pirates lasted several days, with the South Korean military sending messages ordering the pirates to surrender.
A South Korean military official who spoke on the condition of anonymity said while the operation to free the hostages was not free of risk, the military had confidence it would succeed because "the pirates were exhausted" after the long standoff.
"The decision to carry out the operation was made to send a message that there will not be any negotiation with the pirates," the official said.
The Samho Jewelry was the second vessel of South Korea-based Samho Shipping to be hijacked in the past several months. In November, Somali pirates freed the Samho Dream and its 24 crew members after seven months of captivity.
Su-Hyun Lee reported from Seoul, South Korea, and Kevin Drew from Hong Kong. J. David Goodman contributed reporting from New York.

Stylish Beethoven from Lief Ove Andsnes
United KingdomStravinsky, Beethoven, Mahler Chamber Orchestra, Lief Ove Andsnes (piano/director), Cadogan Hall, London, 21.11.2013 (RB)
Stravinsky – Concerto in E Flat 'Dumbarton Oaks'
Beethoven – Piano Concerto No. 2 in B Flat Op 19
Stravinsky – Septet
Beethoven – Piano Concerto No. 4 in G Op 58
Lief Ove Andsnes recently embarked on a project to record all five Beethoven piano concertos for Sony Classical. This is the first time the Norwegian pianist has committed his Beethoven interpretations to disc and he is joined in this project by the formidable Mahler Chamber Orchestra, which he is directing from the keyboard. Andsnes is an excellent Classical player and has made celebrated recordings of Mozart, Haydn and Schubert. His initial recording of the First and Third Beethoven concertos won considerable critical acclaim and this concert was a curtain raiser for the recording of the Second and Fourth concertos which will be released early next year.
The concert opened with Stravinsky's neo-Classical Dumbarton Oaks concerto, which was commissioned by the American diplomat, Robert Wood Bliss and his wife, Mildred Barnes. Dumbarton Oaks estate is in the Georgetown district of Washington DC and it was the Bliss family home: some commentators have seen the concerto as the composer's response to the elegance and cool poise of the estate although many also see it as modern day version of a Brandenburg concerto. Andsnes did not join the Mahler Chamber Orchestra for this first piece but they proceeded to show how a well-drilled chamber ensemble can give a performance of the highest standards without the aid of a conductor. In the opening Tempo Giusto the orchestra gave us clear and bright sonorities while communicating the vitality and zest of the writing. Bach's third Brandenburg concerto seemed to weave a ghostly presence throughout the movement. The Allegretto second movement was witty and precise and I was particularly impressed with some of the elegantly tapered lines from the flautist. In the finale the orchestra seemed to find just the right balance between neo-Classical restraint and Stravinsky's more trenchant writing.
Andsnes has a very modest and unassuming stage presence – when he finally came on to the concert platform to play the Beethoven Second Piano Concerto it was clear that he wanted the audience to see him as part of a wider ensemble rather than a flashy soloist. In the opening of the first movement, the orchestra moved seamlessly from a cultured Classical eloquence to the kindling passion of romanticism. Andsnes' playing of the passagework was elegant and nimble and he demonstrated a pleasing sense of Classical style. He had clearly developed an excellent rapport with the orchestra and they were completely in sync throughout all the shifts in tempo, while the exchanges with the woodwind had a chamber music feel. He played Beethoven's own cadenza, which he dispatched with authority and technical assurance. Andsnes showed us a silky touch in the Adagio and there was a real sense of intimacy in some of the dialogue with the woodwind. The dying of the piano part in the final pages of the movement was magical. The finale was boisterous and high spirited with Andsnes and the orchestra really bringing out the Haydnesque wit in some of the exchanges.
The second half opened with Stravinsky's Septet, which was again written for Robert Bliss and his wife and uses the instrumental combination of violin, viola cello, clarinet, bassoon, horn and piano. This work was composed in 1953 and it shows the influence of Schoenberg's serial techniques and uses baroque musical forms. The textures were admirably clear in the first movement while the contrasting thematic material was nicely characterised. The passacaglia had a brooding, meditative quality while the final gigue was brisk and biting.
The concert concluded with Beethoven's Fourth Piano Concerto, which is one of the great pinnacles of the piano repertoire. The opening chords were beautifully weighted by Andsnes and had a warm and tender feel. His handling of the passagework throughout the first movement was exemplary and he showed us once again a real appreciation of period style and architecture. However, it was the quality of the dialogue with the orchestra which seemed to lift this performance into a different league. Andsnes again played Beethoven's own cadenza: his playing was measured and restrained and he seemed to be much more focused on creating musical poetry than technical display. The slow movement was absolutely spellbinding with Andsnes' whispered pianissimi creating a soothing, bewitching effect and seeming almost to caress his growling orchestral partners into submission – for me this was the best part of the entire concert. The finale was robust and vibrant and I was struck both the muscularity of the playing and with the way in which Andsnes brought out some of the humour and zaniness of the piano writing.
I gather recordings of all five piano concertos will be available by 2015 – if this concert is anything to go by Andsnes and his orchestral partners will rival the very best.

Variationsadmin2021-02-24T17:06:51+01:00
ADDITIONAL VARIATIONS
Following the opening of the building site for the Donizetti Theatre, the situation found required additional work and some changes to the previously hypothesised solutions, which could not be foreseen in the design phase. In the course of the works, 3 variations were applied to the initial project, necessary to safeguard the asset and to pursue the objectives of the works.
1st Variation
Following the initial preparation and removal work, some unforeseen situations emerged, mainly of a structural nature, due to the discovery of discrepancies with the historical design documentation. It was therefore necessary to consolidate and reinforce some structural parts. At the same time, the companies involved in the building site of the Theatre carried out environmental investigations on some materials present inside the Theatre in areas destined for demolition, leading to the discovery of asbestos fibres in plaster and ventilation ducts.
In the light of this, the first variation was drawn up to protect the health of the workers and adapt the design to effectively protect the monumental heritage.

2nd Variation
As work on the site progressed, it became necessary to draw up a second supplementary variation report. The main points were: the discovery of water in the under-stalls area, which led to a lengthening of the time needed to form the new floor of the stalls; the modification of the structure of the west wing, which led to more time for instrumental and design verification; the variation of the restoration work on the ceiling of the hall, since, in addition to the time needed to carry out in-depth diagnostic investigations, it was necessary to discuss with the officials of the Superintendence in order to define the methods of intervention; the identification of further structural weaknesses and poor implementation of the twentieth-century work.
3rd Variation
During the site operations, an additional variation to the original project was necessary. Work had to be integrated to modify the excavation layout of the external accumulation tank for the automatic fire extinguishing system due to the unexpected discovery of some infrastructural paths interfering with the excavation itself. Work also had to be carried out on portions of the existing plaster that were not adhering well to the wall substrate. Following some atmospheric events characterised by heavy rain and wind, there was significant water infiltration in the windows and doors of the noble rooms of the third tier of boxes, particularly in the Sala Riccardi, which wet the parquet flooring and caused infiltration in the floor slab, surfacing the intrados of the decorated ceiling of the ground floor foyer. It was therefore necessary to carry out an urgent temporary intervention to protect and restore the damaged decorations.

Nov. 8, 2018 – U.S. softwood lumber demand is expected to continue its upward trajectory from the lows of the global financial crisis of 2008-2009, reaching an all-time high by mid 2020s, according to a newly released U.S .Lumber Outlook Study by ForestEdge LLC and Wood Resources International LLC (USLOS2018).
In the study's base case scenario, lumber consumption in the end-use category "Non-Residential Construction" is forecasted to grow the fastest and increase its share of softwood lumber consumption from 11 per cent in 2016 to 14 per cent by 2030.
However, the biggest end-use market will continue to be the residential housing sector, including repair and remodeling, at a total share of about 70 per cent of the total lumber consumption by 2030.
It is expected that supply sources will shift to meet future increase in lumber demand. Factors influencing these shifts include changes in availability of timber supply, prices of sawlogs, competitiveness of lumber producers, exchange rates and developments in alternative markets for lumber producers in Canada and overseas.
The USLOS2018 study closely examines how reductions in harvest levels in British Columbia will impact lumber exports from the province and opportunities for lumber producers in Eastern Canada to increase shipments. It also looks at which overseas countries are forecasted to be supplying the U.S. in the coming 15 years.
Overseas shipments have been, on average, 4.8 per cent of total imports over the past decade. This share is likely to increase in the coming decades to reach a projected 6.5 per cent by 2030 in the base demand scenario and possibly as high as 35 per cent of total imports in the high demand scenario.
• Demand forecasts of softwood lumber in the US from 2017 to 2030, including a detailed analysis of the outlook for lumber consumption in all lumber end-use categories in the U.S. market.
• Projected domestic and international sources that will meet U.S. softwood lumber demand from 2017 to 2030. This section includes detailed regional and country profiles analyzing future lumber production levels and export potential based on log availability, sawlog prices and competitiveness of regional sawmills.
• Supply Curve Analysis: Alternative scenarios of lumber supply and demand are presented on a delivered cost basis to identify the most likely supplying regions to the U.S. by 2025 and 2030.
• Conclusions and Sensitivities: Various demand scenarios and sensitivities around exchange rates are included, as well as an alternative supply scenario where lumber supply in the U.S. South is lower and Canada is forecasted to be higher than in the base scenario.
The new multi-client study "Future Suppliers of Softwood Lumber to the U.S. Market – Supply and Demand Outlook 2017-2030," is published by ForestEdge LLC and Wood Resources International LLC. For more information about the study or to inquire about the purchasing of the 218-page report, please contact either Robert Hagler (robert@forestedge.com) or Hakan Ekstrom (hakan@woodprices.com).
