There is a famous saying that everything good must come to an end. The curtain had to unfortunately fall on Oldsmobile, which was the oldest surviving American automobile brand. This happened in 2004. Nevertheless, the 107 years of its existence in the automobile industry is sufficient to leave its footprints in the sands of time. One and all of the 35.2 million Oldsmobile cars produces are proud carriers of this rich heritage and legacy.
Oldsmobile was first manufactured in the year 1897 by the Olds Motor Vehicle Company founded by Ransom E. Olds. The first vehicles were the Curved Dash Olds, once considered to be among the best-selling cars in the United States. A financial crisis forced Ransom Olds to sell his company to General Motors. Oldsmobile has since then been a part of General Motors.
Each car division, part of the General Motors Company, is committed to a specific auto market. Therefore, each car brand comes with its own distinct characteristics and features. General Motors marketed the Oldsmobile for their technical sophistication and superiority. At one point in time, they were the most advanced line of GM cars. An Oldsmobile car was the first to carry an automatic transmission, the first to use chrome and also the first to be equipped with automatic headlight dimmers.
Prominent models from the Oldsmobile stock were the Oldsmobile Cutlass, Oldsmobile Viking, Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme, Oldsmobile Starfire, Oldsmobile Firenza, Oldsmobile Achieva, Oldsmobile Aurora, Oldsmobile Intrigue and Oldsmobile Silhouette.
The Cutlass cars were considered to be the best-selling vehicles. A lot of different Oldsmobile cars used this name. They were personal luxury cars and large sedans (Cutlass Supreme), compact cars (Cutlass Calais) and mid-size sedans (Cutlass Ciera).
The Oldsmobile Bravada, introduced in 2002 was the last of the Oldsmobile launched. But, the last 500 models manufactured were Oldsmobile Alero. These Alero's with "Final 500" markings were painted in metallic cherry red. At present one can find some of these cars as exhibition models in the R.E. Olds Transportation Museum in Lansing, Michigan. This is exactly the same place from where the old Oldsmobile Company began its journey.

SANTA MONICA, Calif.—The inside of an airplane hangar provides the perfect backdrop for a press junket to promote the new World War II drama "Dunkirk." Dressed with vintage aircraft, guns and uniforms, the gloomy French beach projected onto a back wall, it also serves a secondary function—a hideout for one of the film's young stars, Harry Styles, the former One Direction band member and hot new solo artist.
Invited press are asked not to disclose the location on social media so as not to draw fans or paparazzi to the small airport. Styles, 23, like pop sensations before him—Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley and Justin Timberlake, to name a few—is making the big leap from music to movies. With Styles having a top-selling solo album on the charts and a dedicated worldwide following, it is easy to imagine crowds thronging here just get a glimpse of him.
Wearing all black, with the exception of rainbow accents on his loafers, Styles clearly has the "It" factor as he joins his fellow cast members and director, "The Dark Knight" trilogy's Christopher Nolan, and producer Emma Thomas, for a press conference. For 30 minutes, he and his colleagues address questions about making the film, which depicts those tense several days in May 1940, when the British had to devise a plan to save as many of the stranded 400,000 Allied troops as possible.
As Alex, Styles plays a young soldier trapped on the beach who acts tough but actually is just as frightened of being mowed down by German aircraft as his fellow soldiers.
Nolan, who cast Styles as well as other first-time actors in the film along with veterans like Oscar winner Mark Rylance and Oscar nominees Kenneth Branagh and Tom Hardy, explains he simply wanted the right actor for his respective role.
"You have to see the potential for them to do something they've never done before. That's really the ideal," said Nolan who, for the first time in his career, turns his camera to an actual historic event rather than sci-fi or fantasy.
For Styles, "Dunkirk" presented an opportunity to try something new with a director he has long admired.
Q: You have a supporting role in this film. Why did you decide to do it instead of holding out for a starring role in some other film?
Styles: When I first spoke with Chris (Noland) about this film, I thought it was something that I would enjoy watching. It's something I would have been excited to see even if I had absolutely no involvement. But when I spoke with him, I wanted to do whatever I could to be involved with it. I can't say I thought about it too much other than to see that everyone on Chris' set was so passionate about it. It's so infectious. He creates this environment where the cast and crew has one thought: doing their best for him and doing their best for the film, and making it as good as it could possibly be. I don't think there's any room to think about too personal like this. Everyone has the same goal, which is to do their part for the film.
Q: What was your awareness of the Dunkirk operation? What research did you do?
Styles: It's something you learn in school. As Chris has said, it's told in this very washed-over way. They talk about the end of the war and some of the events after it. But it's often (glossed over) how pivotal (Dunkirk) was and the events that came after it. We all feel lucky to be part of something that tells such an important story in a lot more detail than it's usually told.
Q: How did you prepare for your role? What did you learn from your fellow cast members?
Styles: Being on a set like this, it's hard not to be always learning, especially when you're around people you're a fan of. You just try to soak that up as much as possible. Chris has this way where he's not really controlling you but he gives you confidence to be as natural as you possibly can. You don't feel like you're trying to hit too many notes. At the same time, he never has you overthinking stuff. I just felt very lucky to be on the set of a man, whose work I am a fan of, and working with a group of actors who I'm a fan of their work too. I'm just grateful that I was able to be involved with this.
Q: Given the fact there isn't a lot of dialogue, what does a note on a Christopher Nolan script look like?
Styles: The thing with Chris' script is the same as it is across a lot of his other movies. They lend themselves to multiple viewings; you learn more things each time you watch it. I felt the same way when I was reading the script. You learn new things and find new things that and insight within it. Once you get your head around it—the technical stuff—you kind of enjoy it more and more. The more times you read it, it's amazing.
Q: What was the best note you got?
Styles: Chris kind of creates this world around you where you don't have to act too much; a lot of it is reacting as much as anyone can possibly help you be in a situation. He creates that for you. It's not overthinking it or thinking about "acting" too much. Chris really puts you at ease in terms of "say what you need to say" and "don't overthink it." If you're acting, you don't want to overthink anything. He just creates an environment where you're not intimidated by the scale of everything that's going on behind you. He makes you feel comfortable in front of the camera and he doesn't distract you. And he's nice.
Q: Physically, what was the most difficult scene? Was it difficult being in the hull of that ship shooting for days on end?


"Anyone who wants to achieve multi-millionaire status must go for a Scaled system and a business that can be sold. That's what you helped us achieve Martin, so, thank you very much."
"While you're screwing around looking aimlessly where to go next, you need a plan, a strategy and a goal. Once you've got that, then you've got that focus. That's where Advocate provided the MOST value. We chose to work with Martin because he's worked in the hot seat of major players who've gone through acquisition and sale, as well as selling his own businesses as an entrepreneur. Rather than reading a book, or theorising, you go with someone who has done it, and you follow in their footsteps."

Jeb! not sure a woman's health is worth $3.15 per year.
The Washington Post, today:
During the fiscal year that ended June 30, 2014, the most recent for which data is available, Planned Parenthood affiliates around the country received $528.4 million in government funds (a combination of state, federal and sometimes local government dollars), according to the organization's ownannual report and information it's required to share with the IRS.
Jeb "The Smart Brother" Bush, just moments ago, explaining why he feels Planned Parenthood should be defunded nationally (as he did while Governor of Florida):
Jeb just now, inartfully? "I'm not sure we need half a billion dollars for women's health issues."
— Michael Barbaro (@mikiebarb) August 4, 2015
"Half a billion dollars" = $500 Million.
The total U.S. population is roughly 321.2 million people, of which 158.6 million are women.
As someone just noted on Twitter, that's just $3.15 per woman.
Put another way, the federal minimum wage is currently $7.25 per hour.
Jeb Bush apparently "isn't sure" whether a woman's health is worth what a teenager earns in 26 minutes flipping burgers.
Please proceed, Governor...
(and if you think that this is "off-topic" for this site, you should really think it through...)
UPDATE: Within just an hour or two of this, the backlash against Jeb! was severe enough that he issued a "statement" to "explain" what he really meant (emphasis mine):
Jeb Bush Statement on Federal Funding for Planned Parenthood
Gov. Jeb Bush issued the following statement regarding his comments on federal funding for Planned Parenthood.
"With regards to women's health funding broadly, I misspoke, as there are countless community health centers, rural clinics, and other women's health organizations that need to be fully funded. They provide critical services to all, but particularly low-income women who don't have the access they need.
"I was referring to the hard-to-fathom $500 million in federal funding that goes to Planned Parenthood – an organization that was callously participating in the unthinkable practice of selling fetal organs. Democrats and Republicans agree we absolutely must defund them and redirect those funds to other women's health organizations."
Hmmmm...so Bush has no problem at all with federal or state funding for women's healthcare as long as it's not used for abortion services...which it isn't, because Planned Parenthood uses a separate fund for that, which make up just 3% of their total services:
But what is unclear is whether Bush knows that federal funding for abortion is already prohibited through the Hyde amendment, a policy that's been in place since the 1970s and that has been disastrous for low-income women. Some have argued that defunding Planned Parenthood would actually increase the number of abortions, as the organization provides so many crucial women's health services to prevent pregnancy.
In addition, of course, there's the tiny little thing that Planned Parenthood hasn't been "selling fetal organs" or doing anything else illegal. It's perfectly legal to donate fetal tissue for medical research with the consent of the patient, and it's perfectly legal to be reimbursed for the handling and shipping expenses of doing so. The videos in question have been thoroughly debunked as having been severly edited to falsify what the PP employees were saying.

Summary: Fully explained pictures and wiring diagrams about wiring light switches describing the most common switches with photo diagram 2.
The wiring diagram shows a common electric switch also known as a light switch, wall switch, toggle switch, single pole switch or 1-pole switch.
Unless the instructions state otherwise, It does not matter which screw terminal the wires get attached to because this is just a single pole switch which means that there is one line of power that flows through the switch and it does not matter which way the electricity travels through the switch.
With this type of switch the electricity comes in through one connection and flows out through the other.
If you wanted to be logically correct you could wire the switch so the power comes in the bottom and out the top as the direction of travel of the position of the switch.
Some electrical devices are wired so the power enters the top and travels downward and leaves the controlling device through the bottom connections, however it really does not matter to the electrical wiring of this type of switch as long as the electricity is getting to the light fixture or the electrical device you are controlling.
Single Pole switching provides switching from one location only. This light switch wiring diagram shows the power source starting at the switch box.
This switch wiring diagram shows the power source starting at the fixture box.
The white wire of the romex going to the switch is attached to the black line in the fixture box using a wirenut.
Single pole switch diagram #2 shows the power source starting at the fixture box.
I'm wiring a house. How do I wire 4 can lights in the ceiling to be on 1 single pole switch. I have installed 12-3 cable in the ceiling. Should the power source be coming from ceiling?
Mike - this section of the website has a variety of fully described wiring diagrams that will assist you.
As for the location of the power source, because you are wiring the house then that is totally up to you to decide. The power source for the light switches may be in the ceiling or at the wall switch location; you just need to plan out your wiring from there out.

HomeFor Indigenous Peoples, Is Full Participation in "We the People" Progress or Assimilation?
For Indigenous Peoples, Is Full Participation in "We the People" Progress or Assimilation?
February 19, 2019 healingmn Doctrine of Discoveryassimilation, Mark Charles, Steven Newcomb, truth and reconciliation commission, We the People
Native Leaders Offer Differing Critiques of the Doctrine of Discovery and Different Paths Forward
Steve Newcomb (Shawnee, Lenape) and Mark Charles (Navajo/Dutch) are both outspoken critics of the Doctrine of Discovery, an expression of Christian superiority and the forerunner to Manifest Destiny. Their critiques take them in different directions. Newcomb emphasizes that Native peoples and nations need to move toward a free, independent and sovereign existence, while Charles emphasizes moving toward indigenous equality in American society.
This clash of views came into focus after Charles made a TED Talk on the Doctrine of Discovery earlier this year and Newcomb criticized it in an editorial.
It should come as no surprise that indigenous leaders hold differing opinions. Yet as non-indigenous people look to follow indigenous leadership in truth telling and healing around dismantling the Doctrine of Discovery, such differing views create a challenge to understanding what it means to be an ally.
Columbus claimed lands based on the Doctrine of Discovery, leading to indigenous genocide.
The Doctrine of Discovery refers to the religious and legal justification used by Europe's 15th Century European explorers to claim lands occupied by indigenous peoples on behalf of their monarchs. The Doctrine blessed the seizure of indigenous lands and brutalization of indigenous bodies, saying they could be forcibly converted, enslaved, or vanquished. The Doctrine has its roots in papal edicts granting Spain and Portugal permission to seize foreign lands as long as no baptized Christians had prior claims.
Put bluntly, the Doctrine of Discovery was a justification for genocide. Essentially a religious doctrine, it's the founding document for much of U.S. land titles. (More on it here.)
It's impossible to undo the Doctrine of Discovery's harm, but there are important conversations moving across the country about healing and repair from this horrific history. Much of that work is indigenous led. Many mainline Christian denominations are asking themselves about their roles and responsibilities in dismantling the Doctrine of Discovery. (Here is a list of the denominations that have issued statements on it.)
In a January TED talk titled: "We the People: The three most misunderstood words," Charles critiques the Doctrine of Discovery and calls for a U.S. Truth and Conciliation Commission, following Canada's example. Charles says that the United States needs to acknowledge "the vile racism, sexism, colonialism, and white supremacy that our Founding Fathers embedded deep into our foundations."
Charles concludes that if the United States engages in this work in earnest, "we might be able to leave a different legacy for our children … a legacy that for the first time 'We the People' might mean all the people."
Newcomb critiques Charles' TED Talk in an IndianZ commentary titled: "We the people of the dominated Native nations."
[Charles] repeated encouragement to broaden the category "We the People" to include Native Peoples is actually a plan for assimilation that the U.S. government has been working on for generations. … Charles' argument in favor of American Indian assimilation is in keeping with the very doctrine of discovery he claims to oppose….
Rather than becoming part of We the People, Newcomb advocates for "the right of Native nations to live free from oppression, so that someday our nations could live an existence free and independent of U.S. domination."
Anyone who has seen Sheldon Wolfchild's documentary: The Doctrine of Discovery: Unmasking the Domination Code, knows Newcomb. He is one of the foremost scholars on the Christian Doctrine of Discovery and his been speaking on it for decades. His scholarship and his book "Pagans in the Promised Land" give Wolfchild's film its intellectual foundation.
In his IndianZ commentary, Newcomb writes:
What Charles failed to say in his talk is that the doctrine of discovery is premised on the claim by Christian nations that they had located ("discovered") the lands of "heathens" and "infidels," for the benefit and profit of the Christian world. That way of thinking is premised on the idea that Christian nations supposedly had the right to establish a system of domination over any non-Christian lands on the planet and over the non-Christians living there.
Charles condemned the doctrine of discovery as racist rather than a Christian religious phenomenon.
Charles serves on the board of the Christian Community Development Association, consults with the Calvin Institute of Christian Worship (CICW) and is a founding partner of a national conference for Native students called "Would Jesus Eat Frybread?" according to his biography on the Sojourners web page. He also lived for 11 years with his wife and family on the Navajo Reservation.
Charles also has been highly critical of the Christian Church and its role in oppressing marginalized peoples. (A blog published a year ago by The Institute on Religion & Democracy had the headline: "Mark Charles: Church Has 'Prostituted Itself Out to the Empire'")
In his TED Talk, Charles borrows from George Erasmus, an aboriginal leader from Canada, who argues that without common memory, there can be no real community.
Charles vision is one of creating common memory. "We have a White majority that remembers a history, a mythological history of discovery, expansion, exceptionalism and opportunities," he said. "And we have communities of color that have the lived experience of stolen lands, broken treaties, slavery, Jim Crow laws, boarding schools, ethnic cleansing, genocide, Indian removal, interment camps, segregation, mass incarceration and families separated at our borders."
At our core, Americans would rather believe the United State is racist and sexist in spite of our foundations, rather than seeing is as part of our foundation, Charles said: "And we don't know what to do with that."
"African Americans and women will never be included as equal until we deal with the racism and sexism embedded in our foundations,"Charles said. "Native Americans, my people, will never be included in "We the People" until as a nation we deal with the Doctrine of Discovery and our dehumanizing legal precedents for land title."
So what does it mean to be a non-indigenous ally in dismantling the Doctrine of Discovery? It means understanding there are differing views within indigenous communities and honoring those truths. It means this work is messy; engaging in these conflicts is part of our learning and growth.

Oh my god. June was nuts. Totally nuts! It feels like I spent the whole month running from work to social engagements, to events, to family get-togethers, to German class and more! I am exhausted! Lots of pics, not so much on the words for today's post. Let's roll.
Breakfasts this month were mainly (unphotographed) toast or quick things bought at a cafe, but I got into açaí bowls in a big way. Blogpost to come on those.
So with all the busyness of the month, I was also a little slack on the work lunch front - eating out more often than I intended. Oops.
And we also ate out for dinner a bit more often than usual.
There were some homecooked dinners too though!
I made an apple crumble one night too. Yay.
We finally managed to catch up with the lovely Mr and Mrs Food Trail for dinner at Porgie and Mr Jones (291 Auburn Rd, Hawthorn VIC 3122). It was lovely bistro food in a cosy atmosphere. I hope to blog it soon, but for now here's a pic of the dessert - dark Callebaut chocolate tart with rum and raisins.
There were a couple of events this month too. Apart from the already-blogged dinner at Din Tai Fung, I also attended an intimate Masterclass hosted by Ainsley Harriot at the Intercontinental Hotel. It was so much fun! In addition to him cooking a delicious three course meal, he was incredibly friendly and kindly posed for photos with the audience. Yay.
Afterwards, Ashley and I caught up at the nearby State of Grace (477 Collins Street, Melbourne VIC 3000), where we shared delicious fried school prawns and beef-fat roast potatoes. Zomg!
Another night I attended the launch of "The Hunter's Kitchen" at Lucky Penny (481 Chapel Street, South Yarra 3141). Lucky Penny is a cafe, and they're doing a Scandi-inspired dinner menu for Friday and Saturday nights during winter. Mulled wine and hearty dishes, hurrah! It was a really fun evening.
When I was in a shopping centre earlier in the month, I made the mistake of buying a terrible smoothie from a chain that I won't name (they're a small chain that a marketed to macro-counting gym junkies). I wasted $10 on a terrible peanut butter smoothie that was thin and watery, with heaps of fake-tasting chocolate protein powder in it. Waste! After that, I had a super craving for a satisfying smoothie, and the next week I made a few visits to Five Plus Smoothies (265 Little Lonsdale Street, Melbourne VIC 3000). I like how Five Plus' smoothies are thick, nourishing and filling, with lots of natural ingredients. The muscle matcha was quite good (matcha, spinach, dates, silken tofu, almond milk), but I totally loved the blueberry cheesecake (blueberries, lemon, silken tofu, dates, almond milk). It really tasted like a cheesecake, in smoothie form!
My friend Zhen (that incredibly talented artist who drew the artwork for my blog!) is getting married, and we celebrated with a decadent High Tea at The Windsor (111 Spring Street, Melbourne VIC 3000). There was a chocolate fountain and a dessert buffet, but I was most impressed by the lovely tier of sweet and savoury treats!
There were three separate visits to Short Stop Donuts (12 Sutherland Street, Melbourne VIC 3000). Hot tip: the sticky date flavour is incredible! (That's the one in the bottom right hand picture).
... and also Legacy Camberwell (347 Camberwell Road, Camberwell VIC 3124), where my indecisiveness was solved by their lovely "Little Somethin', Somethin'" - a mini açaí granola, mini croissant, mini smashed avo with egg and OJ. Delicious. Incidentally, this is where I first tried açaí. And now I'm hooked!
That was June! Plans for July: sleep, gym, cook more, spend time with my bro, a few more family dinners, and a weekend away. Yay.
uhhr every single unblogged files post makes me feel like I'm missing out on all of the delicious food in the world! I'd definitely need to grow a gym addiction before attempting all of the awesomeness though, must work on that. I hate getting thin and crappy smoothies, they are the worst!
Awww such a cute pic of you with Ainsley! He's such a ball of energy.

Positive Train Control Tests to Begin on Point Defiance Bypass
Written By Cole Paxton
Testing is set to begin along Amtrak Cascades tracks where positive train control technology has been implemented, the Washington State Department of Transportation said this week.
That includes the Point Defiance Bypass, the stretch of track that was being used for the first time when a train derailed in December, sending cars dangling over I-5 and killing three people. The train, which was going nearly 80 miles per hour when it derailed, could have avoided derailing had PTC been in operation, federal investigators said.
Point Defiance Bypass.
The state department of transportation said then that Amtrak trains would not return to the bypass until PTC was implemented; it will be required for all tracks on which Amtrak operates by the end of the year.
In a news release this week, WSDOT said track work was "progressing well," and is a collaborative effort among Amtrak, WSDOT, Sound Transit, and Burlington Northern Santa Fe.
Three major steps must be completed before the tracks are ready for regular Amtrak service, according to the release. Trackside equipment must be installed and operate properly; vehicles must undergo final testing and approval; and BNSF and Amtrak must install back office servers to integrate their systems together. All three are in progress.
Trains will travel along the bypass regularly throughout the summer at up to 79 miles per hour as system mechanisms and train employees are tested. Also during the summer, the release said, transportation officials will host meetings and attend local events to discuss the matter with the community.
Amtrak trains will return to the bypass when testing has finished and PTC is fully active. That is likely to occur in the fall, ahead of the Dec. 31 federal deadline, according to the release, though no date has been set.

For many, the most impressive example of Bauhaus-style architecture outside of its birthplace in Germany, is Tel Aviv, the second largest town in Israel. Lying on the eastern shore of the Mediterranean, the city boasts more than 4000 Bauhaus-style buildings constructed by Jewish immigrants in the 1930s.
Together they form a part of Tel Aviv now popularly known as the White City. In 2003 the area was designated a World Cultural Heritage Site by UNESCO which dubbed it "a synthesis of outstanding significance of the various trends of the Modern Movement in architecture and town planning".
Before modernism arrived in then Palestine, the search for a "Hebrew" language of architecture had brought mixed results. Many buildings were constructed using an eclectic blend of biblical motifs and orientalist themes that borrowed arches and dooms from Islamic architecture.
"It was a pastiche of different styles," says Zvi Efrat, professor of architecture at the Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design in Jerusalem.
But with the arrival of Jewish architects from central and eastern Europe like Arieh Sharon, there was a rapid change of heart. Starting in the early 1930s the ornamentation of the so-called "eclectic" style was replaced by a new, local, modernist vernacular.
Of course, working out how to define the style of architecture that was built in Tel Aviv is slightly harder than Israel's tourism brochures make out. Many say the White City framing is really a misnomer - not least because the buildings are more monochrome than white – and that the style of modernist architecture found in Tel Aviv differs significantly from what was produced a decade earlier in Europe.
For Efrat, modernist architecture in Israel was specifically adapted to the climate of the Levant. Unlike the flat, cubic boxes of Dessau – the former German headquarters of the Bauhaus – the buildings in Tel Aviv are "far more complex volumetrically and far more diverse", Efrat says.
In his book, White City, Black City: Architecture and War in Tel Aviv and Jaffa, the dissident Israeli architect Sharon Rotbard describes the narrative of the "white city" as a dangerous decoy; connecting Tel Aviv to high-culture and the European avant-garde while obscuring the ruined Arab villages it was partly built on.
The idea that scores of Dessau-trained Jewish architects fled Nazi Germany for Tel Aviv is also false, Rotbard says. Just four Bauhaus architects were active in Palestine during the 1930s and just one – Arieh Sharon – left what could be accurately described as an "architectural legacy".
However the White City narrative is viewed, before UNESCO designated the area a World Cultural Heritage Site many of Tel Aviv's modernist buildings were in a state of disrepair. Like other cities around the world, a process of suburbanisation in the 1980s had left behind a trail of inner-city decay in Tel Aviv.
In 2008 plans were approved for conserving Tel Aviv's modernist buildings. This included placing certain buildings under "high protection" where no changes are allowed and "defined limitations" on constructing additional floors on top of other protected buildings.
How much appreciation today's Tel Aviv's residents have for modernist architecture is hard to quantify. Much of the White City is now viewed through the billboards of real estate campaigns and it isn't uncommon, says Sharon, to find parts of historic flats, such as old wooden doors, being peddled down local flea markets.
With Tel Aviv ranked the 9th most expensive city in the world according to the Economist Intelligence Unit's Global Liveability Index, and a series of new high-rise buildings transforming the city's skyline – "there are a lot of attributes that the modernist architects can teach us today," Sharon adds.


Today I am speaking with Selena Moshell, who spent over 8.5 years traveling as a performer for The Lion King. Additionally she's performed as an aerialist and dancer for Walt Disney World and Royal Caribbean Cruises. She's also the owner of Selena Moshell Photography where she provides her expertise as both a videographer and photographer.
First of all I wanted to say I know it's been a while! I just got back from a 10 day trip to California. My husband Michael and I were in a different city every two days, so it's really nice to be back reunited with our puppy Webster and settling back into the swing of things. During our trip I started The Alchemist and I felt like it was speaking to my soul. Every few pages I was underlining something I wanted to remember! If you're cheap and want to listen to it for free you can use my code "LPP" at audible.com/trial! I don't normally include a plug in the intros – but the book was honestly that good!
I believe we all have the capacity to begin living the life we really want. As Paulo Coelho said "People are capable at any time in their lives, of doing what they dream of." But somewhere along the way our child like sense of wonder and freedom can become weighed down with others expectations, and the story that we aren't capable or deserving of such a life.
I think it's important to remember that we aren't meant to live anyone else's life besides our own. This may sound intuitive, but I honestly have to remind myself of this quite often. When I find myself comparing myself with others success, income, or looks. It's then that I am more inclined to make decisions that don't serve me. I ignore my inner compass and essentially betray myself. I believe this sense of betrayal is most critical in all the little decisions I make throughout my day. For example, when I've dismissed signals from my body to rest and gone ahead and pushed through a workout – simply because it was on my schedule and felt like I HAD to do. I know when this is happening. I'm fighting against what I should be doing. I've since realized the importance of honoring what my body is telling me.

From Australia: Audrey Zibelman Says Old Energy Market Rules Make No Sense
March 27, 2018 By Elisa Wood Leave a Comment
Audrey Zibelman describes how old rules are holding back new technology in Australia, where a promising microgrid market is trying to take hold. Zibelman now heads Australia's largest electricity and gas market. Previously, she was a key player ushering in New York's Reforming the Energy Vision as New York's chief utility regulator. Written by Giles Parkinson, this article originally appeared in RenewEconomy.
Audrey Zibelman, head of AEMO
The head of the Australian Energy Market Operator, Audrey Zibelman, says Australia is transitioning to a new energy system faster than any other economy, but this transition could be held back because its energy market rules are rooted in the past.
"You can't expect the technology to move as fast as it is and the market design to stay the same as it was in the 1990s – almost pre-internet … it doesn't make sense," Zibelman told an American Chamber of Commerce function in Adelaide on Friday.
"What I think is incredibly fascinating about Australia … is the rate of technology change and evolution in Australia is faster than almost anywhere in world," Zibelman said. "What we are seeing in terms of level of changes of renewable technologies, storage technologies, distributed technologies, is breathtaking for many of my colleagues.What we need to do is to modernize our regulatory and market systems to take advantage of these changes … and to smooth the transition."
It is not the first time Zibelman has made such comments, but these latest rank among the most forceful, and came in the same week that AEMO released a major document outlining some of the areas where it believes the market is falling short.
Its main focus in areas such as valuing flexibility – demand response and battery storage, for instance – and distributed energy resources (rooftop solar and storage and software).
It is also focusing on new inteconnectors (to spread geographic risk and resources of wind and solar), changes to forecasting, the implementation of strategic reserves and day-ahead markets and more resilience in the face of increased heat-waves.
Then of course, there is the National Energy Guarantee. Zibelman, who is part of the Energy Security Board, clearly supports this but noted that "AEMO had gotten its comments in" to the review process.
The NEG has received widespread criticism from the industry, mainly because it lacks ambition and its reliability guarantee is so ill-defined.
Energy market players and regulators see huge risks to the way it may be implemented, and say it would likely result in less competition and higher prices unless significant changes are made to the draft outline.
Join us at Microgrid 2018 in Chicago May 7-9, where Frank Tudor, managing director of Australia's Horizon Power, will be a featured speaker.
Prominent companies such as Tesla have pointed out that markets do not yet exist for technologies, such as their big batteries, and others have complained the rules are weighted in favor of incumbent technologies.
California's Critical Facility Challenge: The Case for Energy-as-a-Service Municipal Microgrids
If California does not modernize its grid and power delivery infrastructure via sustainable premium power provided by microgrids, the state will be thwarted in its efforts to meet not only its economic and public safety needs, but aggressive carbon reduction and renewable energy goals. Download the new white paper commissioned by Schneider Electric that answers one of the most commonly asked questions: How can today's governments pay for the vital energy infrastructure upgrades they need? Enter Energy-as-a-Service municipal microgrids.
AEMO is also pushing for numerous other changes to the way the energy market works, and to encourage flexible, dispatchable capacity to respond to the changing needs of the market.
Zibelman said two important trends in the energy market now were the falling cost of renewables, and the rapid uptake of rooftop solar by consumers.
She noted – again, not for the first time – that AEMO currently has connection requests for some 20,000MW of new energy capacity. And every megawatt of this proposed capacity was for renewable energy. "They are the investment of choice," she said.
Zibelman also spoke of the "incredible uptake of rooftop solar", which is now running at more than 1GW a year, and could within a decade account for 30-40 per cent of demand in places such as South Australia.
"There's customer choice going on and an economic phenomenon going on," Zibelman said of the trends to renewables and the uptake of rooftop solar. To me the most important thing is that power continues to be an essential service … so that everything we do is driven around sound economics, and on keeping the lights on."
Zibelman also spoke of the need for increased interconnection between grids, and to unlock renewable energy zones – which could ensure that large-scale renewables are not built in areas where their output would have to be curtailed because of lack of infrastructure.
AEMO intends to address this in its Integrated System Plan. To some analysts, this will be more important even than the NEG in setting a plan for the future grid.
Zibelman also spoke of the rapid digitisation of energy technologies, and the need for storage to deal with increasingly variable output as the penetration of wind and solar increases.
South Australia, where the AdCham function was held, is already sourcing more than 50 per cent of its supply from wind and solar, and appears set to reach 75 per cent by 2025, or even earlier according to a recent AEMO report.
Zibelman shared the stage with Deion Campbell, the head of Tilt Renewables, which plans to install a new solar farm with battery storage at the site of the state's biggest wind farm, Snowtown.
Asked where he saw renewable energy share ending up, Campbell said: "I think it will be fully renewable. Why not embrace it."
Daniel Thompson, the head of development at SolarReserve, which hopes to deliver a 150MW solar tower with 8 hours of molten salt storage, along with other projects in the future, has a similar view.
"There is huge momentum in renewable energy in south Australia at moment. It may not be 100 per cent, but we are going to see a lot more," he said.
Zibelman said that in 10 years time, the influence of distributed energy – rooftop solar, battery storage, and smart software – would mean smart homes and consumers who understood their appliances, such as pool pumps, rooftop solar, fridges, would respond to price signals.

SINOSSI GENERALE:

In questa stagione la squadra ha a che fare con molti casi come ad esempio Truffe calcistiche, ricatti verso il padre di Themba ecc. Inoltre nella 100ª puntata del programma ritornano Fiete e Natascha che conoscono l'attuale squadra e ricordano le loro avventure insieme, oltre ai casi non mancano le storie d'amore tra Lina e Rasmus che litigano spesso per motivi stupidi e verso l ultima puntata sembra che siano ad un punto di rottura perché Rasmus dice a Lina di non voler mai sposarsi, Lina quindi non pensa che lui voglia stare con lei. Ma soprattutto tra Themba e Sophie. Themba è sempre più cotto di lei e Sophie sembra accorgersene e inizia provare qualcosa per lui rimanendo insicura però su che cosa fare per paura di essere respinta. Sophie lo bacia nella puntata del casting e da li inizia a provare dei sentimenti, ma i due non riescono mai a parlarsi e dichiararsi e nella puntata dei cani lei pensa che Themba pensi ad un'altra e ci litiga. Themba deluso si distacca e nella puntata del calcio si fidanza con Alisa. Sophie gelosa, segue il consiglio di Lina e trova un altro, Lukas, che le procurerà dei problemi, e metterà a rischio i grani di pepe, e che lascia dopo poco, perché è innamorata ancora di Themba, Quando quest'ultimo lascia Alisa, resosi conto che anche per lui non era la cosa giusta, i due si riavvicinano sempre più e nella ultima puntata si baciano e si fidanzano contemporaneamente a Rasmus e Lina, chiaritisi. insieme a Lina e Rasmus celebrano e festeggiano il matrimonio di Sven e Lena. Poi partono tutti da Amburgo per un viaggio scolastico lasciando ad Emma la sede.

Q: How to test two strings for ordinal case-insensitive equality using TStringHelper? I might have overlooked something, but it seems that there is no built-in function like:
var
  B: Boolean;
  S: string;
begin
  S := 'Test';
  B := S.SameText('TEST');
  Assert(B);
end;

.NET has a three parameter version for Equals:
string.Equals(S, "TEST", StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase);

The two versions I can come up with is:
// Ordinal?
string.CompareText(S, 'TEST') = 0
// Culture specific
string.Compare(S, 'TEST', True, TLanguages.UserDefaultLocale)

What puts me off here is that I have to compare to 0, instead of good old SameText:
SameText(S, 'TEST')

Did Embarcadero overlook to provide a SameText on TStringHelper?

A:
Did Embarcadero overlook to provide a SameText on TStringHelper?

Yes.

Camera positioning is the next evolution of GPS.
The primary constraint of camera positioning is that it requires a map of visually distinct features. Such maps can be built from a variety of input data types — 2D images, RGB-D images, and 3D point clouds — captured by image and depth sensors on mobile devices, IoT devices, robotics, and other platforms. These platforms share the same goal: build visual maps and determine precise positioning from them.
Why not share the maps?
GPS was deemed too valuable to society to remain proprietary, and the next evolution should not be any different. Interoperability between camera-equipped platforms improves coverage, update frequency, and development time.
Mapping and positioning should not have to be the core competency of spatial application developers, but without interoperable maps, the maps and the technology will need to be built over and over again on every platform.
Google and many other companies are currently amassing their own proprietary datasets to use for visual positioning. The only companies that believe proprietary maps are a good solution are those that believe they can be the one to own them. While the walled garden may be convenient to for developers to start, it allows single entities to dictate where and how the maps are used.
An open-source framework is needed to facilitate cross-platform functionality and speed development towards universal mapping and localization for spatial applications. We are proud to propose the Camera Positioning Standard (C.P.S.) in advancement of this objective.
C.P.S. is infrastructure for visual maps. The standard comprises a suite of visual map data and messaging formats. It enables cross-platform exchange of heterogeneous, visual map data that can be leveraged by existing and future localization techniques including classification, regression, learning, and more. The full framework will include robust format specifications and performant reference implementations compatible with common computer vision platforms.
Free and Open — Fundamental features must be free for all to use. Release all artifacts as open-source efforts with licensing that should facilitate and not impede adoption.
Interoperability — The framework must be platform agnostic so that it can be created and consumed by any camera-enabled platform.
General purpose — The data formats should be applicable to a broad class of use-cases and localization approaches.
Performant — The data formats should be designed efficient I/O including support for parallel processing frameworks.
Unambiguous — Coordinate systems and reference frames should be consistent to ease interfacing with native applications and frameworks.
Coverage and Simplicity — The framework should be available on every popular computer vision development platform and easily extensible to other platforms of choice. It should be viable on CPU and memory-limited devices.
At Fantasmo, we are already hard at work developing a proposal for a feature-based map format along with an accompanying C++ reference implementation. The reference implementation will include an encoder and decoder with a simple API to ease integration. The reference implementation is planning to be released in July with the specification draft following at the end of Q3.
Additional specifications and implementations will be co-developed with the community. Likely additional early platforms include Python, iOS, Android, and ROS.

Mánuður 9 came to a close with my wife and I preparing for her knee replacement surgery. We were well prepared. Þá, as with a coastal dweller riding out a hurricane, it hit.
I got a couple of calls on my cell phone from a recovery room nurse explaining that my wife was slow in being able to move her good leg. They had done a spinal block for the anesthesia rather than a general. After the block, she would have to stay in recovery until she could move legs, fætur, and sets of toes. I hunted down the cafeteria to get some food. After a long walk, I found it.
Slowly I she and I both recovered. After about 2 vikur, her recovery accelerated and by the end of 4 vikur (also the end of Month 10 of my CES), she was ready to start driving again. Only in the last week did my pain subside, in part due to Thanksgiving.
Central Ohio was visited by a snow storm just before Thanksgiving. With this being the first snow for our Elantra, I didn't know how well it would do. I had it parked in the garage which requires a climb up a moderately steep hill for 70 fætur, then a 70 degree right turn, followed by another 40 feet of steep hill to get to our street. Our former ride, a 2010 Prius, made that in 4 inches of snow with no problem… not so the Elantra. To be fair, the Prius had high end Michelin all weather traction tires on it. Since we're not worn out the OEM tires on the Elantra yet, we've not replaced the tires so this isn't necessarily a fair comparison. Anyway, the Elantra couldn't quite make it to the turn in the driveway… I was stuck. My wife's '98 Caddy was parked in front of the house with a straight shot up the last section of driveway, except her sister had parked it straight in instead of backing it in – no way to get it out until the driveway thaws.
Í lok, physically I end Month 10 doing better than last month. Life is becoming still busier, and that is good due to what is making it that way. Emotionally & spiritually, I'm battling through the emotional aspects of actions by my family member and my friend. I have always been one for reconciliation but these will be difficult. So on to Month 11! Coming up on a year, and I think coming up on an end to the posts on this blog. My battle with CES turned into my life with CES, which has mostly pushed CES into the rearview mirror. Yes, I still have it. Yes, it affects me every day. Yes, it will still do so for the rest of my life. But I've come out of my encounter with it. It is God's mark of ownership on me and I'm growing used to it being here. Its impact on me has been to drive profound and beneficial changes in me. That drive is coming to an end and soon it will be parked by the house, around but not used, destined to become a rusting old junk heap with weeds growing up around it. Yeah, that's a good place for it.
