Comments Off on How To Make A Will: Which One is Right for You?
According to an article written by The Guardian, no less than 30 million adults in the United Kingdom have not yet written a will. Does this surprise you at all? This is most likely due to the fact that none of us understand how to make a will or enjoy thinking about our own death. Still, without this preparation, our loved ones can be left in grave situations. Let's have a quick look at some of the main types of wills that are commonly chosen.
One type is known as a single will. This will is suitable for an individual that allows him or her to appoint executors and nominate a beneficiary who will be privileged to the remainder of your estate once all other obligations have been met (such as taxes and debts).
As their name hints, mirror will are actually two separate and yet identical wills. The first document is intended for the spouse. When the spouse also passes away, the secondary will (the mirror) is then passed on to any additional named beneficiaries.
This is a useful tool which allows your assets and estate to be governed by a group of trustees. Depending upon the situation after your death, they can decide how to split of this estate in the best way possible. Couples who are unmarried will enjoy inheritance tax savings when utilising this type of vehicle.
These are only three types of wills. It is always wise to seek professional advice to see what other options you may have. To get a basic overview of how a will functions, please take a look at how to make a will that specifically addresses this topic. Should you be concerned about how your assets will be distributed and how your loved ones will be cared for, it is important to address this topic sooner rather than later.

Q: Creating A Loop To Hash The Contents of An Entire Folder I'm brand new to this website (and coding as a whole) and have been trying to find a way to successfully hash the contents of a folder and plop all the hashes into a .csv!
Below is a picture of what I have so far! Again, I know it leaves a lot of room to be desired... but it functions at the very least! The biggest problem I'm having right now is ensuring that every file in the folder, rather than just the folder itself, is being hashed and put into the .csv file.
Edit: For clarity, my hope is to be able to do the following:

*

*Ask the user which folder of files they would like to hash, and verify that the folder exists (done).

*Next verify where the user would like to have the hashes output to (done).

*Then have the program hash all the files included in the target folder, and list all of the hash values in a CSV in the location chosen by the user.

Currently I believe the program does the first two, but instead of hashing all the files in the folder it instead hashes the folder itself. I'm not really sure how to make the program instead target all the files and write their hashes into a single csv file rather than just hashing the folder.
Thank you again for any help in advance!

This paper presents a method of controlling a constellation of small satellites in Geostationary Earth Orbit (GEO) such that the constellation is able to reconfigure - changing the angular position of its members relative to the Earth's surface in order to cluster them above particular target longitudes. This is enabled through the use of an artificial potential function whose minimum value corresponds to a state where the phase angle between each satellite and its intended target is minimised. By linking the tangential low-thrust acceleration of each satellite to this artificial potential function, the altitude of each satellite relative to the nominal GEO altitude is manipulated in order to achieve the required drift rate. A demonstration of the efficacy of the method is given through a simple test case in which a constellation of 90 satellites converge upon 3 equatorial targets, with each target requiring the attention of a varying number of spacecraft from the constellation. The constellation performance is analysed in terms of the time taken for the satellites to converge over their targeted longitudes and the Dv required to actuate the phasing maneuvers. This analysis is performed across a parameter space by varying the number of satellites in the constellation, the number of targeted longitudes, and a parameter representing the maximum acceleration of the thruster.

RATINGS (out of 5 dishes): Movie | Audio | Video | Overall
A first-rate documentary about what baseball folks deem a "third-rate pitch," Knuckleball offers a breezy and fascinating look into the world of baseball pitchers who specialize in tossing the unorthodox, often unpredictable pitch called a knuckleball.
The primary focus of the film is on two contemporary knuckle heads: the recently retired Red Sox hurler Tim Wakefield and R.J. Dickey, the much-traveled Cy Young Award winner recently departed from the New York Mets for the Toronto Blue Jays.
Directors Ricki Stern and Anne Sundberg (Joan Rivers: A Piece of Work) do a superb job, using archival footage of such knuckleballers as Phil and Joe Niekro, Charlie Hough, Jim Bouton and Wilbur Wood while keeping tabs on elder statesman Wakefield and journeyman Dickey during the 2011 baseball season wherein each faced various forms of adversity to triumph in their own ways.
What makes Knuckleball a cut above the typical sports docu is the fact the filmmakers get us up close and personal into the pitcher's lives, interviewing their wives, showing their families and recounting how they decided to adopt the knuckleball as a last chance specialty to live their baseball dreams. Also impressive is the inclusion of footage of Wakefield and Dickey in their formative years and a meeting of the minds that takes place in a hotel in which they convene great knucklers of the past who offers words of wisdom.
Knuckleball, which has already be available as a video-on-demand title, is a must-see for fans of "America's Pastime," and timing couldn't be better for that than right now as the sound of "Play Ball" is upon us

Product information "Rust remover gel"
The Tifoo Rust Remover Gel is a highly efficien rust removing gel that is especially used for pieces that are hardly accessible and that can't be submerged. The use is very simple: coarse rust is first removed mechanically, and the gel is then brushed on the spot in question. After a few minutes, the gel has done its work and you have a completely rust free workpiece.

Customer evaluation for "Rust remover gel"


As of Map Pilot version 2.0.0 it is possible to areas that are higher or lower than the takeoff point to facilitate accurate overlap calculation for varying terrain.
This image shows that a ground offset of 20.3 meters has been selected with the standard 75/75 overlap setting. This will make it so that the 75/75 overlap will be calculated for a plane that is 20.3 meters higher than the takeoff point. This will add 20.3 meters to the flight altitude selected in the Altitude/GSD slider panel.
This is especially useful when you are trying to map a roof, treetop canopy, hill or valley where the it would have been difficult to get proper overlap without this setting.
It is possible to adjust the ground offset up to 50% of the selected flight altitude.
"This will make it so that the 75/75 overlap will be calculated for a plane that is 20.3 meters higher than the takeoff point."
I'm seeking to understand the effects of adjusting Offset. The comment from above implies that the mission configuration changes based upon the setting. Yet it does not appears to change the path, images, etc. in the way that Overlap changes them. What are the effects of (and reason to) changing Offset? I create aerials over 150' trees and am very interested in this function. Thanks in advance.
The ground offset feature is designed to get the designated overlap on an area that is at a different elevation than the takeoff point. Imagine you want to get 70% overlap for the roof of a building that is 20 meters tall and you want to take off from the ground. Before you would have had to guess at how much higher you would need to put the overlap setting to get that value up there. Now you can use all of the normal controls for overlap and desired GSD/altitude and put in that ground offset to take care of the rest. Basically it just slides the exact flight plan that is shown up and down in altitude.
Will setting a ground offset have any impact on the drone's altitude itself?
I am very interested in an answer to the above question, while playing with offset i expected to see longer flight times/ more pictures ( or less depending on + offset or - offset).
With an altitude set of 80 meters and offset to 20 meters will the quad fly at 100 meters ??
All the Ground Offset feature does is move the flight plan up or down in altitude to let you optimize the overlap for a height other than the ground where you take off. All the images are taken at careful spacing to get appropriate overlap with reference to the takeoff location. If you are shooting the top of a building or tree canopy for example, you would use a +20 meter ground offset. Otherwise, your 70/70 setting is going to be more like 55/55 and not be very good.
Bert: It will not affect the number of images taken or the spacing of the passes which is why you are seeing very little change in the flight stats. If you have a positive 20 meter offset and your flight altitude is set to 80 meters it will fly 80 meters above a point that is 20 meters off the ground, or 100 m.
As of Map Pilot 2.1.6 this feature now works with the Terrain Awareness feature.
"If you have a positive 20 meter offset and your flight altitude is set to 80 meters it will fly 80 meters above a point that is 20 meters off the ground, or 100 m." Does it mean it will fly at 100m for the whole project (without Terrain Awareness)?
We want to map a mountain area with 150m at peak and want to get 10cm GSD with Phantom 4. Normally, to achieve this it will fly at 230m without Ground Offset, so if we set Ground Offset = 100m, it will fly at 330m for the whole project?
"It is possible to adjust the ground offset up to 50% of the selected flight altitude."
What is point of this limit?
If you need to have a ground offset of 70m (trees frequently grow to this height and taller in the tropics) but still want to map at high resolution (say 30 or 40m) why is this not allowed for? Best you allow is setting flight height at 67m and offset of 33m and then you are forced to mess about with overlap percentage.
Imagine mapping an area with 100ft tall trees everywhere. The overlap gets calculated assuming it is collecting images on the ground. The 100ft top of the tree canopy would get much less overlap than prescribed in the settings. The Ground Offset feature moves the plane for which the overlap gets calculated up to the level of interest, not necessarily the ground. The same is true for building roofs and things like that.
Thanks for the extra details, that makes sense regarding the overlap numbers remaining accurate after using offset.
Is this ok to use with the Parrot Sequoia camera, knowing that it is calibrated for MME's NDVI at 80 meters?
Garret: The 80 meters only applied when the Ninja was being used to stack the imagery. Since you are doing your own stacking at this point it won't matter.
Hi. Good information. I'd like clarity on Veha La's , Bert, and others question please. Does adding the ground offset increase the actual flight altitude? That is if a flight is set for 30 meters and then say the ground offset is set to 10 meters, will the flight be flown 40 m? Is that correct? Or will it be still be flown at 30 meters? Some of the comments are years old but still critical to understand actual altitude to be flown of course. Thank you.
This will add or subtract whatever value is selected to the flight altitude selected in the Altitude/GSD slider panel.

Why Nepal has one of the world's fastest-growing Christian populations – Danielle Preiss
Posted on Nov 1, 2017 by VOI
Churches mushroom throughout the Kathmandu Valley and across the terraced hills. Proselytizing remains illegal, but with political instability and weak law enforcement, that doesn't stop it from happening. – Danielle Preiss
Famous for its high peaks and wind-whipped prayer flags, Hindu-majority Nepal used to be a nation unreached by Christianity.
Now the country has one of the fastest-growing Christian populations in the world, according to the World Christian Database, which tracks global trends in Christianity.
Bishwa Mani Pokharel, news chief at Nepal's Nagarik newspaper, pulls out copies of the census to show the statistical gallop of Christianity across Nepal. It listed no Christians in 1951 and just 458 in 1961. By 2001, there were nearly 102,000. A decade later that number had more than tripled to more than 375,000. Pokharel and others think the increase is really much higher but inaccurately reported.
"Before, when the Christians had a party, they slaughtered a chicken. Now, they slaughter a goat," says Pokharel, who has been reporting on the conversions. That extra meat, he explains, is necessary to feed all of the new people who've joined the guest list.
Much of this growth can be attributed to Nepal's internal changes. Before 1950, Nepal was closed to foreigners. Mountain climbing changed that. And starting with the Maoist Civil War of the 1990s and culminating with the end of the monarchy in 2008, the country has transitioned from a Hindu kingdom to a communist-led secular republic with greater freedom of religion. Encouraging someone to convert to another religion was always illegal, but as Nepal eased away from its official Hindu status, the rules lightened up.
Churches now mushroom throughout the Kathmandu Valley and across the terraced hills. Proselytizing remains illegal, but with political instability and weak law enforcement, that doesn't stop it from happening.
Meanwhile, the earthquake last year may have strengthened the Christian surge. Where the government—long mired in political instability—has failed to help poor villagers, aid groups have trickled in to fill gaps, some of them carrying a message of salvation.
Climbing for Christ (C4C), an evangelical group based in Rochester, N.Y., is one.
Pledging to bring the Gospel "where others cannot or will not go," the group began its "Mission: Nepal" in 2008. In 2011, it dedicated the first church in the village of Dapcha, 25 miles east of Kathmandu. Today, Dapcha—with a population of just 1,000 families—is home to three churches.
"They found some sick people and broken families and talked to them and prayed for them, and miraculously these people were convinced and began to follow Christ," said Tej Rokka, pastor of the C4C partner ministry, Savior Alone Redeems Asians. "They distributed some food for the people, and clothes. Because of that, people began to listen to them."
After the earthquake, C4C sent relief materials such as tents and money for food and first-aid items to congregants in Dapcha and other affected areas. Gary Fallesen, C4C's founder and president, and a team were also in Nepal in October helping rebuild the earthquake-damaged house that belongs to the family of Sumitra Pariyar, a young woman who believes she was healed from paralysis and seizures by her acceptance of Christ.
Lauren Leve, a professor in the religious studies department at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, is researching women who have converted to Christianity in Nepal. She found that as in the case of Pariyar, many of these conversions were related to illness.
Others point to the Hindu caste system as an impetus. Though outlawed in 2001, caste discrimination is still widely practiced, particularly in rural Nepal, where people on the lower rungs suffer systematic abuse passed on between generations. Many converts come from these lower castes, and missionaries point to Christianity as a way to escape. "It's the only way out," says Fallesen. "Socially there's nothing they can do to change that and then we come along and we share about Jesus and the love he has for them." The system still exists, Fallesen says, but no longer has power over them.
Nepali leaders aren't happy about the Christianity boom. Before the release of the country's first constitution this September, debates swelled over whether to scrap secularism and go back to an official Hindu designation. While Christians and other religious minorities feared a clampdown on religious freedom, the Hindu right insisted secularism would allow Christianity to take over. The British ambassador in Nepal ran afoul of this sentiment in 2014 after telling Parliament the right to change religions should be included in the constitution. Pro-Hindu groups accused him of supporting proselytizing and called for his resignation. When lawmakers did ensure secularism in the constitution, police needed water cannons and tear gas to dispel angry Hindu protesters.
Leve thinks laws against proselytizing aren't the best way for the Nepali government to keep conversions down. "What it needs to do is ramp up the public health and social support infrastructure so that its citizens are getting what they need from the state," she says. "When public hospitals start to provide effective health services, when there's a social safety net in place post-earthquake or any other time, you will see fewer people expressing any interest in Christianity."
For Fallesen, this need for material goods can be a foot in the door to a conversation about Jesus. He said his team starts by building relationships with villagers to find out what their problems are. "Usually the solution to those needs is to share about Jesus," he says.
Rokka, the Nepali pastor who is also C4C's country representative, shows off the audio Bibles the team uses to minister to the illiterate in Nepal. People think the local language recordings of the New Testament are cellphones or MP3 players, he explained. He said that even when they find out what the gadget is, they're still excited to get a new device.
Few avenues exist here for the rural poor to better their situation. For more than a decade, many parents have sent their children to "orphanages" in Kathmandu, where they hope they'll get better resources and education than what's available in their villages. The problem of false orphanages has grown so out of control that the U.S. and other countries banned international adoptions from Nepal in 2010. There were simply too many "orphans" with parents.
C4C supports an orphanage, too. Not all the kids are orphans in the western sense, Fallesen explained, but they come from families that don't have the ability to properly care for them. How do these families feel about their kids getting baptized? "Some are happy, some are not. Some now want to take them out from the home," said Rokka, whose ministry runs the orphanage. But the parents don't typically act on their concerns, he added. "They have no way to help them. Anyway [the children] are getting help here, so [the parents] think, OK, let it be."
Rokka came to the faith as a child after his mother died. He says some people convinced his father to send him and his brother to an orphanage run by an Indian missionary. Rokka estimates that 90 percent of the children he grew up with have since started their own ministries.
Sitting outside their Dapcha house, an elderly couple expresses disdain for the churches popping up around them. "We don't go there," the woman says, waving her hand dismissively and mimicking someone in Christian prayer. She then pretends to handle Buddhist prayer beads. "We say 'om mani padme om,'" she says, using the Buddhist mantra to declare her faith.
To Christian relief workers like Fallesen, the importance of bringing Nepalis to Christianity outweighs the concerns expressed by nonbelievers. "If I have a choice between possibly offending you or saying OK, whatever you believe is fine, but I believe in my heart if you don't believe in Jesus, you're going to go to hell, well, then I'm going to take the risk of offending you," he says.
So C4C has its sights on more remote areas of Nepal. Land was just purchased for its newest church in the hard-to-reach far west district of Humla, where Fallesen says the Nepali population of seven Christian men has grown to 150 men and women. The church will be strategically placed at the point where Hindu and Buddhist pilgrims begin the trek to Mount Kailash, a holy site for both religions. – NPR, 3 February 2016

As some one from Nepal, this Christian conversion campaign is definitely a challenge, a lot of Nepalis are poor and can easily be swayed by cheap money and food to convert, they may send their children to study in Christian schools where indoctrination may occur, Yes we have strong law against forced conversion but not easy to implement. There is also problem of caste discrimination in Hinduism which is why some Dalits have converted to Christianity.

Nepal Criminalises Religious Conversions And Hurting Religious Sentiments – Swarajya – Oct 27, 2014
Nepal President Bidya Devi Bhandary signed a bill last week criminalising forced religious conversions with a jail term of up to five years, reported Newsmax.
An excerpt of the new law, sanctioned by the Nepalese President, reads, "No one should involve or encourage conversion of religion. No one should convert a person from one religion to another religion or profess their religion and belief with similar intention by using or not using any means of attraction and by disturbing religion or belief of any ethnic groups or community that has been practised since ancient times."
The report also said that a penalty of Rs 2,000 and a prison term of up to two years would be imposed on any person undermining or hurting religious sentiments. Although Hinduism dominates the religious fabric of Nepal, the country has documented a rapid growth of the Christian population, one of the fastest in the world.
The Nepalese high command has received flak from various institutions for having passed laws which would inhibit the religious freedom of the minorities.

Two if by sea (and canoe and rowboat and bicycle): [National Edition]
DOBBS, KILDARE. National Post; Don Mills, Ont. [Don Mills, Ont] 26 May 2007: WP17.
The great journeys have been made, the great voyages accomplished, the whole Earth explored pole to pole from stratosphere to the abyss of ocean. Magellan and Drake circled the globe, Cook discovered a continent, Amundsen reached the North and South poles, Humboldt penetrated the rain forests of South America, Philby, Thomas and Thesiger crossed the Empty Quarter of the Arabian desert, Tenzing Norgay and Hillary climbed Everest, the roof of the world.
Later adventures are stunts, often performed for publicity, like Henry Stanley's crossing of Africa in search of Dr. Livingston, who was not lost. But these stunts can still be high adventure in which frail humans pit themselves against the elements and vast spaces of the Earth. The violence of oceans and extremes of climate still offer formidable challenges to spirited adventurers. Such valiant spirits are Colin Angus and his partners, especially his fiancee, the brave Julie Wafaei, who joined Angus in Moscow, travelling with him from Moscow to Vancouver to become the first and only woman to have rowed unsupported across the Atlantic in an open boat.
Angus, the first man to go around the world under human power, on foot and by bicycle, canoe and rowboat, across three continents and two oceans, planned, raised funds and persisted in the expedition through the sub-zero frosts of Siberian winter and the worst recorded hurricane season in the Atlantic. Already a veteran of hazardous adventures — five years at sea, mostly sailing alone; then rafting down the entire Amazon and Yenisey rivers –he authored books, articles and documentary films. Youngest of a poor family of four on Vancouver Island, he had worked and saved to acquire a yacht at 19. Tim Harvey, his partner for thousands of kilometres across the Bering Sea and into Russia, came from wellto- do parents in Shaughnessy Heights, Vancouver, his father a lawyer and mother a dentist. The two young men parted company in Siberia, where they'd taken on an extra partner, a strong young Russian woman called Yulya (tout court) who, it seems, slowed Harvey to a more leisurely pace than Angus thought wise. He was probably also spooked by Yulya's excessive piety and sanctimonious religiosity. Angus planned to forge ahead alone and wait in Moscow for his friends to catch up, where he'd raise funds and plan the second half of the great journey. He gave Harvey twothirds of the cash he was carrying and forwarded valuable equipment to Yulya's family in Yakutsk, where he'd collect it on his way.
Angus's fiancee, Julie Wafaei, meanwhile was administering the home base with marked responsibility. Wafaei is a highly qualified molecular biologist born in Toronto of a Muslim father and Christian mother, and an outstanding researcher, athlete and traveller. When Harvey and Angus parted ways, and Angus was denied access to his own property held by Yulya's mother in Yakutsk, Wafaei threw up her job and flew to Moscow to become Angus's partner. She helped with the planning and with the fundraising– which produced zilch because of the adverse publicity the split had stirred up. In the end, Angus's brother ponied up an interest-free loan of the necessary $50,000. (Obviously Colin is not the only overachiever in the family.)
Wafaei proved to be a brilliant traveller. "The qualities I loved about Julie," Angus writes, "were her determination, her strength, and her ability to solve problems in a rational and intelligent manner." Her mental balance was the ideal corrective to Angus's tendency to paranoia and anxiety.
The couple cycled together to Lisbon, where they took over their specially designed rowboat, fitted with sliding seats and featherweight oars, and rowed for five months across the Atlantic, surviving two hurricanes and a narrow escape from being run down by a big ship. Angus acknowledges the steadying influence of his splendid partner. Landing at Limon in Costa Rica, they cycled to Vancouver. The 43,000-kilometre journey was over.
Angus writes fluently, especially about the excruciating hardships he suffered. He gives good hurricane, too. His book is a great read. Next year will be Wafaei's turn, with her own story of the adventure. I look forward eagerly to it.
It's good to know that we have young compatriots of this calibre. They've been honoured in various ways, and richly deserve it. And, of course, much of their glory reflects on their country.
Somewhere in my library there's a book by an American who travelled round the world on land on a penny-farthing bicycle, armed with a pistol. The need for a weapon is a distinctive mark of U.S. citizenship. Our own brave adventurers carried heavy cameras.
The happy ending is that Wafaei and Angus have found a good place to set up house on Vancouver Island. They plan to be married on Aug. 11.
When the sailor was done voyaging he walked inland with an oar on his shoulder. Arriving in a place where no one knew what an oar was, he settled there.
But one doubts that the days of adventure are over for these valiant young people.

Our 5 favorite new cars and trucks from the 2016 Detroit Auto Show
Wednesday, January 27, 2016 11:54:51 AM
Will Kinton
The North American International Auto Show in Detroit is one of the largest and most important annual auto shows in the world. Manufacturers use the Detroit Auto Show as an opportunity to reveal many of their newest cars and trucks to the public for the first time, and often use the event as a chance to refresh the way the public sees their brand.
The 2016 Detroit Auto Show was no different, with almost every automaker present showing something new. Here are some of the best new production cars and trucks we saw while we were there.
2017 Lexus LC500: No boredom
Despite the recent introduction of many new sporty models like the RC-F and the GC-F, Lexus has had a hard time shaking its image as a luxurious but largely boring brand. Lexus hopes to change that with the introduction of the new LC500 Coupe. With concept-car looks, a luxurious interior reminiscent of a Ferrari Testarossa, and a 5.0 liter V8 producing almost 500 horsepower, the LC500 is sure to be anything but boring.
You can expect it to handle itself in the corners, too, as it uses advanced carbon fiber and high-strength steel, resulting in the most rigid chassis Lexus has ever made. Lexus has not yet released pricing, but expect to dish out around $100,000 to get your hands on one.
2017 Lincoln Continental: Confident luxury
The brand-new Lincoln Continental is quite possibly the most important car to wear the Lincoln badge since the 1960s. While competing luxury car brands like Cadillac and Lexus are striving to make a name for themselves as serious performance cars, Lincoln has taken the road less traveled: quiet and reserved, but confident luxury.
Lincoln hopes to court customers that desire a refined driving experience, and are not concerned with zero-to-60 times or Nurburgring lap records with their new flagship. The top trim levels will have power sent to all four wheels from the new Lincoln exclusive 3.0T twin-turbo V6 that produces a perfectly adequate 400 hp and 400 ft-lbs of torque. The Continental will also be able to be had with a turbocharged 2.7L V6 or a naturally aspirated 3.7L V6 in both FWD and AWD configurations.
2017 Chrysler Pacifica: Family road-tripper
In 1989, Chrysler introduced the Town and Country, which revolutionized how Americans move their families around. Most other automakers scrambled to put their own minivans into production, some very successfully, and some very unsuccessfully. Over the next 27 years, the Town and Country (along with the rebadged Dodge Caravan and Plymouth Voyager) became the 13th best-selling name plate of all time.
For 2017, Chrysler has decided to abandon that heritage, christening their new minivan as the Pacifica, after the forgettable SUV that Chrysler built from 2003-2007, presumably to entice people to minivan ownership in an era when minivans have become "uncool." Naming conventions aside, the new 2017 Chrysler Pacifica is the minivan of the future. First, the new Pacifica can be had as a plug-in hybrid, offering up to 30 miles of pure electric power, and up to 80 MPGe. Besides the hybrid tech, the Pacifica is loaded with features, from radar cruise control to touchscreens for your kids with an app designed to answer the question, "Are we there yet?" for you.
The new Chrysler Pacifica may have a questionable name, but it is unquestionably the perfect vehicle for your family on road trips.
2017 Chevrolet Bolt: Range, price combo
The Chevy Bolt is a full electric vehicle that offers the range of a Tesla Model S, but for the price of a Nissan Leaf. With 200 miles of range, and an expected price tag of about $30,000, the Chevy Bolt is the first affordable electric car with a respectable range. When you compare it to its primary future competitor, the Nissan Leaf, it will cost about the same, offer twice the range and be able to carry four adults comfortably.
See also: Green cars and insurance: 6 essential things to know
Range anxiety is still an issue for those who want to take long road trips, but it disappears when it comes to running errands around town, or commuting to a workplace without chargers. For a city car, a 200-mile range is enough that battery life simply won't be an issue, which makes this car an absolute game changer in the electric car market.
No electric car comes close to matching the Bolt on both range and price, and every other automaker is now firmly behind the curve.
2017 Honda Ridgeline: The people's pickup
The new Honda Ridgeline isn't rear-wheel drive, isn't big, and it doesn't particularly look that exciting. That being said, it is the perfect truck for most people. The Ridgeline is no longer the SUV/Pickup hybrid competitor for the Chevrolet Avalanche, but rather a standard pickup truck competitor for the Toyota Tacoma.
Even though it's only available as either front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive, the Ridgeline offers many clever features, such as a tailgate that can both drop down or open sideways, and a Bluetooth® audio system and lockable trunk in the bed. It's practical, it's economical, and it will do almost anything you'd need it to do. Plus, it will do it with better gas mileage, better handling and more comfort.
Be sure to keep an eye out for more of auto show wrap-up coverage in the next few days!

Common Types of Catastrophic Injuries in Louisiana
Catastrophic injuries are injuries that cause severe damage to a survivor's cognitive and physical abilities. These severe injuries require long-term physical rehabilitation and other costly treatments. On top of the medical cost, serious injuries cost survivors their jobs and their savings. In cases where victims were paralyzed or lost a limb, they may need expensive prosthetics and equipment to accommodate their injuries.
Different types of catastrophic injuries include:
Acoustic Trauma: This type of injury causes permanent and life-changing hearing impairment. This injury has the power to change the way someone interacts with the world for the rest of their lives.
Blunt Force Trauma: This is when the forced impact of an object injures a specific region of the body. These type of injuries commonly occur on the head.
Burns, Scarring, and Disfigurement Injuries: These types of injuries cause not only physical damage but also psychological distress.
Neck and Back Injuries: An average of one million employees suffer neck and back injuries every year on the job. These types of injuries can be severe and result in permanent mobility issues or chronic pain.
Neurological Injuries: These types of injuries can result in the loss of reasoning and cognitive ability.
Spinal Cord Injuries: These are severe injuries that result in loss of mobility. Spinal cord injuries, depending on where they are, can lead to the inability to walk to the inability to breathe without help.
Vision Loss and Other Eye Injuries: These injuries can result in permanent disability. Loss of vision is one of the most common types of injuries that occur in the workplace.

Beliefs About Safety May Spark E-Cigarette Use in Young Adults
(HealthDay News) – Young adults who believe that electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) are less harmful and can help people quit smoking are more likely to try them, according to research published online Jan. 7 in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine.
Kelvin Choi, PhD, and Jean L. Forster, PhD, of the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis, analyzed data from a cohort of 1,379 adults (mean age, 24.1 years) who reported never using e-cigarettes at baseline. The authors sought to assess the association between beliefs about e-cigarettes and subsequent use of this product.
The researchers found that, at one-year follow-up, 7.4% of the sample reported ever using e-cigarettes (21.6% among baseline current smokers, 11.9% among baseline former smokers, and 2.9% among baseline nonsmokers). Regardless of baseline smoking status, those who believed at baseline that e-cigarettes are less harmful than conventional cigarettes and can help people quit smoking were significantly more likely to report experimenting with them.
"Given that young adults are still developing their tobacco use behaviors, informing them about the lack of evidence to support e-cigarettes as quit aids and the unknown health risk of e-cigarettes may deter young adults from trying these products," the authors write.

The most legendary theater on Broadway, the Palace is also one of the oldest, built in 1913.
Kirchhoff & Rose designed the theater expressly for the presentation of vaudeville —variety shows with comedy, magic, music, and dance—and every vaudevillian aspired to "play the Palace." The deep lobby and enormous theater with its two balconies accommodated large audiences while private boxes, favorite features of vaudeville audiences, added to the theater's allure. Once the most popular form of entertainment in the United States, vaudeville died out in the early 1930s and the revered Palace struggled to survive. In 1965, the Nederlander Organization bought it and hired Ralph Alswang, a Broadway scenic designer who had been begun designing theater interiors in the mid-1960s, to restore the Palace to its original grandeur. It reopened as a legitimate theater in 1966 with Neil Simons's Sweet Charity. Many successful productions, including Applause, La Cage aux Follies, Woman of the Year, Beauty and the Beast, and Aida, have followed.
Charles Kirchhoff was the son of a German immigrant cabinetmaker in Milwaukee.
He attended a German-English academy for his initial education and then attended night school while working as a carpenter and mason. He later spent two years studying architecture in Boston and New York. Upon his return to Milwaukee, Kirchhoff worked for Henry Messmer. In 1885 he started his own practice, and in 1896 he formed a partnership with Thomas Leslie Rose; their firm, Kirchhoff & Rose, is Milwaukee's oldest continuously operated architectural office. The RKO Palace Orpheum Hippodrome, the Marquette University Dental School, and the Garden Theater in Milwaukee are some of their best-known projects.
Son of sculptor-artist James M. Rose, Thomas Leslie Rose was born in New York City and moved to Chicago as a child. He apprenticed with Chicago architect James J. Egan and attended evening classes at the Chicago Academy of Fine Arts, now the Art Institute of Chicago.
Rose relocated to Milwaukee in 1883, where he practiced with Henry Starbuck. After Starbuck's retirement, Rose began a partnership with Charles Kirchhoff in 1896. The resulting firm, Kirchhoff & Rose, is Milwaukee's oldest continuously operated architectural office. The firm specialized in theater, commercial, and industrial design. Some of their best-known works include the RKO Palace Orpheum Hippodrome, the Palm Garden Schlitz Hotel, and the Milwaukee County Historical Center.

Juniper Networks (JNPR) recently stated preliminary financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and provided its outlook for the three months ending June 30, 2018.
First Quarter 2018 Financial Performance
Net revenues were $1,082.6M, a decrease of 11% year-over-year and 13% sequentially.
GAAP operating margin was 5.1%, a decrease from 12.8% in the first quarter of 2017, and a decrease from 16.4% in the fourth quarter of 2017.
Non-GAAP operating margin was 12.3%, a decrease from 20.8% in the first quarter of 2017, and a decrease from 22.7% in the fourth quarter of 2017.
GAAP net income was $34.4M, a decrease of 68% year-over-year, resulting in diluted net income per share of $0.10.
Non-GAAP net income was $99.5M, a decrease of 44% year-over-year and 50% sequentially, resulting in diluted earnings per share of $0.28.
Balance Sheet and Other Financial Results
Total cash, cash equivalents, and investments as of March 31, 2018 were $3,448.4M, contrast to $4,043.7M as of March 31, 2017, and $4,021.0M as of December 31, 2017.
Net cash flows provided by operations for the first quarter of 2018 was $271.1M, contrast to $546.6M in the first quarter of 2017, and $211.6M in the fourth quarter of 2017.
Days sales outstanding in accounts receivable, or "DSO," was 57 days in the first quarter of 2018, contrast to 49 days in the first quarter of 2017, and 62 days in the fourth quarter of 2017.
Capital expenditures were $42.2M and depreciation and amortization expense was $55.0M during the first quarter of 2018.
During the quarter, the company initiated a $750M accelerated share repurchase contract and paid a $62M quarterly dividend, or $0.18 per share.
These metrics are provided on a non-GAAP basis, except for revenue and share count. Earnings per share is on a fully diluted basis. The outlook assumes that the exchange rate of the U.S. dollar to other currencies will remain relatively stable at current levels.
Our Q2 revenue outlook reflects a return to normal seasonality. While consumer spending patterns remain dynamic and difficult to predict, we continue to expect sequential growth through the remainder of the year, with a return to year-over year growth during the December quarter.
The company expects gross margin to improve sequentially during the June quarter Because of higher volumes and improvements in our cost structure. While better volumes and cost structure efficiencies should drive further gross margin improvement during the second half of 2018, the pace of improvement could be offset by mix and other factors.
A look on the firm performance, its monthly performance is 2.93% and a quarterly performance of 13.92%. The stock price is moving up from its 20 days moving average with 0.83% and isolated positively from 50 days moving average with 3.80%.
