Isabelle de Tomaso's homebred Grade 2 winner Irish War Cry, back on familiar ground at the Fair Hill Training Center in Fair Hill, Md., continued preparations for his next start with a six-furlong breeze over its main track.
Recently named the New Jersey-bred champion 2-year-old of 2016, Irish War Cry was timed in 1:13.40, the fastest of three horses at the distance, all trained by Graham Motion.
It was the second work for Irish War Cry since suffering his first career loss when seventh as the favorite in the Fountain of Youth (G2) March 4 at Gulfstream Park. He went five furlongs in 1:01.10 March 25 at Palm Meadows, Gulfstream's satellite training facility where he spent the winter.
Irish War Cry won his first three starts, including a maiden victory Nov. 11 and the Marylander Stakes Dec. 31, both at Laurel Park, prior to his impressive triumph in the Lambholm South Holy Bull (G2) Feb. 4 at Gulfstream.
In the Fountain of Youth, Irish War Cry pressed a demanding pace set by Three Rules before tiring to finish 21 ¾ lengths behind late-running winner Gunnevera, who returned to be third behind Always Dreaming in the $1 million Xpressbet.com Florida Derby (G1) Saturday.
Irish War Cry is set to make his next start in the Wood Memorial (G2) April 8 at Aqueduct.
Motion was happy with the performance of Happy Mesa, winner of the 2016 Selima last fall at Laurel who was beaten a neck as the favorite in the $100,000 Sanibel Island for 3-year-old fillies on grass Saturday at Gulfstream.
It was the second start of the year for Happy Mesa, coming four weeks after she was fourth by less than two lengths in the Herecomesthebride (G3) at Gulfstream. The $100,000 Hilltop at one mile on the turf at historic Pimlico Race Course May 19 is a possible target, Motion said.

Q: Stable alternative to \thepage As I read and found out the command \thepage doesn't always output the correct page number.
The proposed alternative is to use \pageref{here}\label{here}. But this seems too unhandy, because I have to change the label every time I want to get the current page, which makes it impossible to just replace it by a simple new command.
P.S.: In the end I want to define this:
\newcommand{\see}[1]{\cref{#1}\ifthenelse{\equal{\pageref{#1}}{\thepage}}{}{ on \cpageref{#1}}}

where the part on \cpageref{#1} should only be output if it is not the current page.

A: You can easily combine the \pageref{here}\label{here} in one command by using e.g. a counter to avoid multiple labels:
\documentclass{article}
\newcounter{labelhere}
\makeatletter
\newcommand\pagerefhere{%
 \stepcounter{labelhere}%
 \pageref{here\thelabelhere}\label{here\thelabelhere}}
\begin{document}

\pagerefhere blub \newpage \pagerefhere bla

\end{document}

A: In my experience, using several packages which enhance cross referencing in LaTeX, leads to problems or odd behavior. Luckily modern versions of varioref is able to do some of the things cleveref can as well and, depending on your exact needs, it may not be necessary to use both packages.
If you are looking for a single macro, which will output "section 1.2", "section 1.2 on the next page", "section 1.2 on page 14", "chapter 4 on page 51", "equation (2.5) on the facing page", etc. depending on what the \label references and where \label and \ref is placed, varioref should be enough. With
\usepackage{varioref}
\labelformat{chapter}{chapter~#1}
\labelformat{section}{section~#1}
\labelformat{equation}{equation~(#1)}

in the preamble, \vref{label} will result in the output above and there should be no need for a custom macro. Please note, that \vref will print a space before the reference and that the space will be suppressed if using \vref* instead. If you start a sentence with a reference and therefore need the first letter capitalized, use \Vref.
I you prefer "on page 11" to "on the next page" for every reference, you should include the following lines from lockstep's answer in your preamble.
\renewcommand\reftextfaceafter{on page~\thevpagerefnum}
\renewcommand\reftextfacebefore{on page~\thevpagerefnum}
\renewcommand\reftextafter{on page~\thevpagerefnum}
\renewcommand\reftextbefore{on page~\thevpagerefnum}

cleveref has features that varioref lacks, such as referencing ranges, and according to the author of cleveref it should be able to replace varioref entirely. From the cleveref manual:

The enhanced referencing feature provided by the varioref package's \labelformat command decides how to format cross-references when the label is defined, rather than when it is referenced. Often this isn't a problem. But it makes it impossible to format cross-references differently according the context in which they are referenced, which can sometimes be very useful. For example, if you want cross-references at the beginning of a sentence formatted any other way than by capitalising the first letter of the cross-reference text, it is impossible using varioref. E.g. you may want to use the abbreviation "eq.", but revert to "Equation" at the beginning of sentences (words at the start of sentences shouldn't be abbreviated in English). This is not possible with varioref. Perhaps even more significantly, varioref's \labelformat implementation makes it impossible to typeset multiple references automatically; if you want to refer to equations eq1 through eq3, with varioref you are back to typing Eqs.~(\ref{eq1}) to~(\ref{eq3}) by hand. Not to mention missing out on all the other cleveref features. In fact, cleveref fully supports varioref, taking over responsibility for typesetting cross-references, whilst retaining (and even enhancing) all the varioref page-referencing magic.

I myself have not had use for the features of cleveref and find varioref easier to use.

A: Simply load varioref before cleveref and use \vref in the document body. See section 2.3 of the varioref manual for details about suppressing textual references.
\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{varioref}
\renewcommand\reftextfaceafter{on page~\thevpagerefnum}
\renewcommand\reftextfacebefore{on page~\thevpagerefnum}
\renewcommand\reftextafter{on page~\thevpagerefnum}
\renewcommand\reftextbefore{on page~\thevpagerefnum}

\usepackage{cleveref}

SAN ANGELO, TX -- A trio of youth golfers from the Concho Valley are gearing up for the US Kids Golf World Championships.
Miguel Flores-Acton, 14; Brooks Vaughn, 12; and Maxwell Wymore, 10, will represent the Concho Valley at storied Pinehurst in North Carolina at the end of the month.
"Well, it's my first time going (to Pinehurst). So, I'm pretty excited," said Flores-Acton, an incoming freshman at San Angelo Central High School. "It's not just going to Pinehurst. It's being out of state and enjoying different things."
The trio frequently train together at the San Angelo Country Club and it doesn't feel like work for them, according to Flores-Acton.
"It feels like you're out here playing and have time to relax and enjoy everything," the 14-year-old continued.
It's the second consecutive year for Wymore to go to Pinehurst for the US Kids World Championship. After shooting 180 strokes over two days last year at Pinehurst No. 1, Wymore feels he knows what to expect when he shows up to the course.
"Last year, I didn't really know what to expect," Wymore said. "But this year, I'm in the hunt and I feel like I know the competition better."
Knowing the history of Pinehurst, the home to many major golf championships in the past, Wymore is ready to tackle the long holes of the hallowed grounds.
"It was really exciting (last year). The course is very nice," Wymore said. "It's not the hardest golf course ever, but it's super long every year. Especially the 9-year-old to 10-year-old (group) is the biggest jump. So, it's pretty tough."
It's a culmination of hard work over the past year for all three kids.
"I just tried my best at the last tournament and work paid off. Practicing all the time, it paid off," Vaughn said. "I made it."
Vaughn credits the trio training together for their success on the links.
"You just get better seeing the better people play," he said. "So, training with the better people and practice helps a lot."
It will be the first time to Pinehurst for both Vaughn and Flores-Acton. They both are looking forward to the challenge.
"Oh, I'm really excited. It's my first time going," Vaughn said. "It's gonna be really fun. I just hope to play well and have fun."
"I've been playing US Kids since I was eight and that was the goal every year, to get to Pinehurst," Flores-Acton said. "But this is the first year I've made it. It's just one or two strokes that makes a difference."

Q: dynamic_cast over shared libraries fail with Qt on Android compiled with clang Using Qt (5.12, with r18b, clang), I create a shared library exporting some classes. Then I create a program doing some dynamic_cast between those classes. Under Windows with VS 2015, it works perfectly (with __declspec not posted below). Under Android with clang, dynamic_cast fails. I could read lots of topics like:
dynamic_cast an interface from a shared library which was loaded by lt_dlopen(libtool) doesn't work
So I tried to add some flags to my library project, tried many things (not sure which one is upposed to work):
QMAKE_LFLAGS += -Wl,--export-dynamic
QMAKE_LFLAGS += -Wl,-E
QMAKE_LFLAGS += -Bsymbolic

However, even if I see those flags are used upon link, it still fails.
Here is my MCVE:
dynamiccast_lib.pro:
TARGET = dynamiccast_lib

#pragma once

#include <iostream>

class BaseClass
{
public:
    BaseClass()
    {
    }

    virtual void show() = 0;
};

class DerivedClass : public BaseClass
{
public:
    DerivedClass( int attr ) : attr( attr )
    {
    }

    void show() override
    {
        std::cout << attr << std::endl;
    }

private:
    int attr;
};

class DYNAMICCAST_LIB_API Helper
{
public:
    static BaseClass* CreateIntObject( int attr );
};

dynamiccast_lib.cpp:
#include "dynamiccast_lib.h"

BaseClass* Helper::CreateIntObject( int attr )
{
    return new DerivedClass( attr );
}

main.cpp:
#include "dynamiccast_lib.h"
#include <iostream>

int main( int argc, char* argv[] )
{
    BaseClass* ptr = Helper::CreateIntObject(3);
    DerivedClass* casted = dynamic_cast< DerivedClass* >( ptr );
    casted->show();
    return 0;
}

This code crashs because casted is NULL. How can I make this simple code work under Android?

A: After some investigation, I could fix this issue myself. There is no need to add any link flag at all. I could get this fix (have dynamic_cast work) simply by adding a virtual method in BaseClass and implementing it in dynamiccast_lib.cpp.
Added in dynamiccast_lib.h:
virtual ~BaseClass;

Added in dynamiccast_lib.cpp:
BaseClass::~BaseClass
{
}

This makes dynamic_cast work just right from the program. Any virtual function will fix this (not only destructor), but the implementation MUST be in the source file, not in the header file (otherwise dynamic_cast still fails). That's surprising, but that's what I observed by testing.


Doesn't 288 look nice here? Try to imagine this lovely scene instead of the hellscape that awaits you over the next few weeks.
SH 288 (the South Freeway for those in the know) has been a bit of a mess lately. It's part of a fairly substantial redevelopment plan that will add capacity via toll lanes running from 59 all the way to the Harris County line. As per usual, it has left a trail of tears in its wake.
For the next few weekends, however, it is going to get worse thanks to major lane closures both on 288 and the South Loop where it intersects with the South Freeway. It's bad enough that 288, the primary thoroughfare to Gulf destinations like Surfside, will be shut down, but the South Loop is a damn busy highway thanks to its proximity to NRG Center, the Texas Medical Center and Hobby Airport.
Sunday August 19 at midnight – Monday, August 20 at 5 a.m.
All lanes of 288 between between Holly Hall and the South Loop in both directions and all lanes of the South Loop between Almeda and Scott Street will be completely closed during the times above. That includes all the connectors between 288 and 610 as well (as if that weren't readily apparent). We'd give you a list of detours, but our best advice is avoid the whole damn area!
If that weren't enough, those same lanes will be closed the following weekend beginning August 24 and again the weekend beginning September 7. They will spare everyone the Labor Day weekend, bless them. But, keep in mind that the weekends of August 24 and September 7, those lanes will be closed the entire weekend from 9 p.m. Friday to 5 a.m. Monday. That's all day both Saturday and Sunday. Fortunately, none of the dates coincides with a Texans game or there would be hell to pay.
Like we said, better to just stay away if you can or you'll wish you had.

Dow Corning sales up, profit down
Dow Corning Corp. said today that its sales increased but its profits dropped during the second quarter because of rising raw material, energy and operating costs.
The company earned $190.8 million in the quarter, down 14 percent from $220.7 million in the same period a year ago. The adjusted net income was $187.6 million, compared to $214.9 million the year before.
Sales hit $1.67 billion, up 8 percent from $1.54 billion the year before. For the first half of the year, Dow Corning has sales of $3.25 billion -- a record for the company.
"While demand remains solid for Dow Corning's silicon-based materials, we've seen pressure on our profits in the first half of 2011 from sharply rising raw materials and energy prices," Dow Corning Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer J. Donald Sheets said. "We're countering these challenges by focusing on the efficiency of our business and by continuing to invest in innovation to serve high-value growth opportunities."
Sheets said Dow Corning's silicones segment continues to see significant growth in emerging economies despite the global economic volatility affecting all businesses.
"Dow Corning's polycrystalline silicon segment through our Hemlock Semiconductor Group joint ventures continues to sell all of its production, and remains sold out for the foreseeable future," Sheets said. "While there has been some softening in the solar industry in 2011, we believe the solar industry will continue to grow at a rapid pace over the long-term as regions seek clean, renewable, domestically-generated sources of energy."
Sheets said uncertainty in the business environment has kept the pace of the global economic recovery slow.
"Political instability throughout the globe, as well as the tragedy of the earthquake and tsunami in Japan earlier this year, added to the challenges businesses like Dow Corning faced in the first half of the year," Sheets said.
Dow Corning is owned by The Dow Chemical Co. and Corning Inc., which receive equity earnings from the company.
Dow Chemical said equity earnings from all of its joint ventures, including Dow Corning, set a record for the first half of the year at $589 million. Corning Inc.'s total equity earnings were $428 million, down from $474 million a year ago. The breakdown of Dow Corning's contributions was not available.

«Sapore di sale» (en italiano, Sabor a sal) es una famosa canción escrita y grabada en 1963 por Gino Paoli con arreglos de Ennio Morricone, parte del álbum Basta chiudere gli occhi, lanzado el año siguiente. Paoli declaró haber compuesto la canción para la actriz Stefania Sandrelli, su pareja en ese entonces.

La canción no sólo fue el mayor éxito del artista, sino una de las más famosas de la música italiana contemporánea. El sencillo, lanzado por el sello RCA Italiana, llegó a la cima de las listas en Italia, participó en el Cantagiro de 1963 y se transformó en un éxito internacional que "todavía hoy es parte del imaginario colectivo" italiano. En ese sentido, es considerada como un "verdadero y propio himno" del verano que simboliza el acceso popular al turismo de sol y playa producto del milagro económico italiano tras la penuria de la posguerra.

Historia

Sapore di sale fue probablemente compuesta en Capo d'Orlando, una playa siciliana donde Gino Paoli se estaba alojando para brindar una serie de conciertos. La canción fue inspirada por la resonante historia de amor que vivía desde 1962 Paoli, casado con una hija, con Stefania Sandrelli, en ese momento menor de edad.

Sapore di sale fue uno de los primeros discos de Paoli publicados por la RCA Italiana, a la que había llegado tras dejar Dischi Ricordi junto con su amigo Nanni Ricordi.

Mientras la canción escalaba las listas de los discos más vendidos, en julio de 1963, Gino Paoli tuvo un intento de suicidio mediante un disparo a la altura del corazón. En agosto de ese año el disco alcanzaba el primer puesto en la clasificación de ventas italiana.

Letra y música

Letra

El texto describe un típico día de vacaciones en el mar, durante el cual el hombre toma sol en la playa mientras su compañera se baña en el agua, donde los días transcurren sin apuros en una total diferencia con el mundo real.

Música
La canción está construida sobre una progresión de acordes que se repiten, con arreglos de Ennio Morricone.

La introducción es efectuada por el sonido de un bajo eléctrico. En la parte central puede escucharse un saxofón tocado por el argentino Gato Barbieri.

Versiones y adaptaciones
La canción fue versionada por varios artistas (en orden alfabético):

 Jerry Adriani (1964)
 Tonino Carotone (2000)
 Richard Clayderman (versión instrumental en el álbum A come amore de 1983)
 Bruna Lelli (1979)
 Rita Pavone (1975)
 Perturbazione (2006)

Adaptada al castellano como Sabor a salado, fue versionada por el cantante peruano de la nueva ola Jimmy Santi (1964) y por los chilenos Gloria Aguirre y Carlos González. La cantante española Silvana Velasco grabó, también en 1964, una adaptación al español manteniendo el título y la línea "Sapore di sale, sapore di mare". También fue versionada en portugués por el cantante brasileño Ed Wilson, con el título Sabor de sal (1964).

Presencia en la cultura de masas

Citas en otras canciones
 Los Santarosa recuperan el estribillo de Sapore di sale en su disco Souvenir.
 El rapero genovés Moreno cita el título de Sapore di sale en su canción Sapore d'estate.

Apariciones en cine y ficción
 Los títulos de los filmes Sapore di mare (1982) y Sapore di mare 2 - Un anno dopo (1983) hacen clara referencia al título de la canción. Sapore di sale oficia de tema de apertura de esta última, en cuya escena final aparece Gino Paoli interpretándola.
 La canción es citada en una escena del segundo episodio de la película Fratelli d'Italia por el personaje Roberto Marcolin (interpretado por Jerry Calá), quien improvisa un jingle publicitario para su empresa de pan dulce, Sauli, donde Sapore di sale se transforma en Sapore di Sauli.
En 2018 la compañía Costa Cruceros utilizó Sapore di sale para un anuncio con Penélope Cruz.

Driven in part by the delivery of a record 3.7 million square feet of shinny new office space over the past year, all of which was delivered pre-leased, the average asking rent for office space in San Francisco ticked up 1.1 percent in the fourth quarter of 2018 to an all-time high of $75.57 per square foot per year, which is 6.4 percent above its mark at the same time last year.
At the same time, the average asking rent for older Class B space in the city inched up 0.5 percent in the fourth quarter $66.14 per square foot per year, which is 4.6 percent higher on a year-over-year basis but roughly even with mid-2016 pricing.
The overall vacancy rate in the city ended the year at a below-average 6.4 percent, which represents 5.3 million square feet of vacant space, 1.2 million square feet of which is technically leased but available for sublet (up from 860,000 square feet of leased but vacant space in the previous quarter).
And while there remains another 3.1 million square feet of office space currently under construction in the city, roughly two-thirds of which will be delivered, pre-leased, by the end of the year, the estimated cumulative need of tenants seeking new office space in San Francisco ended the year at 5.2 million square feet, down 18 percent from the third quarter but 17 percent higher versus the same time last year.


Months ago, when I began the first steps in pursuing this dream I spoke with many travelers. Almost in unison and utter agreement, the consensus with extended travel is the achievement in reaching the nine week mark, because this is where you feel as though you can live this unique lifestyle for the rest of your life. The passion and sincerity–visible in the eyes and faces gave me hope that I too, can live out experiences and not just the routine of life. I feel as though I have grown more in the past twenty-three days than I have in the past twenty-three months. I am more thankful and appreciative of what I have and even more so, of what I can live without.
Today, I met a new coworker that has more love for America than many I know back home. An illegal immigrant of close to a decade spent in San Antonio, Texas before being deported back to Guatemala, he is the first that I have ever met in my life knowingly. I could not feel more humbled as I am able to place a face to this topic, and while I still understand the need and concerns for border security in the global spectrum, it does make me understand why people risk so much for hopes of a better life, especially after witnessing the extreme difference in the wealthy and the impoverished. At the age of fourteen, Angel left his family and traveled across Mexico alone on a series of buses over the course of forty-five days. I can't even imagine how difficult and terrifying this must have been. When I was this age my priorities and concerns were girls, sports, and the upcoming weekend plans. Paying Q 6,000 ($800 USD) to a coyote, this small kid was lead through the desert, unsure if he would live to see the next day. Reaching the land of opportunity, he worked a series of difficult jobs sending money back home every chance he could to afford his family access to basic services that I know I took for granted growing up. I'm not trying to persuade anyone on this topic, I just wanted to share his story since it was very incredible to hear firsthand.
It is approaching 10pm, and, for the first time in almost a month, I find myself behind the wheel of a vehicle. Surprised to learn that many of the staff at the Finca both young and old has never learned to drive, I am asked to drive several of the women that work in the kitchen home. A bit excited I grab the keys to the van that are on a hook in the office and climb into the driver's seat. Out of habit, I reach over my left shoulder for my seat belt. Flailing my right hand around wildly, soon I am reminded that this is Guatemala and seat belts are about as common as Starbucks. My two passengers next to me begin to laugh, knowing what I was looking for but enjoying the entertainment they don't say anything. I have to laugh as well as I place the key into the ignition and start up the engine. I flip on the lights and begin backing out of the single stall carport. Turning the wheel to the left and placing my foot on the clutch as I forcefully shift into first gear, I inch forward ready to be on our way. Not quite, I'm about to drive over a large rock onto the grass, and this brings another series of laughter. I quickly realize that power steering is unheard of and have to stop and reverse before I can crank this beast of a steering wheel as hard as I can to the left before the wheels move. Finally, we are ready to shift back into first gear and be on our way. The first series of bumps and I realize that shocks are also nonexistent. Curious, I look down to read the odometer and there are more than 250,000 miles on this thirty plus year old van that somehow continues to keep running. Returning from the short twelve-minute drive, I approach the closed gate of the Finca where Ricardo is there to open it as he holds his rifle in place over his shoulder. Yes, it feels somewhat like a compound as a group of men patrol the property all night with guns, unfortunately there is no sniper tower, sorry Andrea, but I guess Happy Acres will not be in Poptun, Peten, Guatemala.

Getting back into exercise after a long break? Have you signed up for a charity 10k, cycle ride or even a marathon…?
Many people find that training for a goal or a specific event, especially if there is a charity involved, a really motivating prospect. However if its a been a while since you did any real training you may find you are concerned about injuries or want to know how to look after yourself.
Having ran an Osteopathic clinic for over 10 years and specialising in sports injuries I have seen many patients try to do too much too soon or not know how to look after themselves properly.
Being a keen competitive tennis player for many years I have learnt, sometimes the hard way, that looking after yourself is key to staying injury free and being able to do what you love to do.
I would like to share with you some top tips on staying injury free and what to do if you do get a niggle.
1. Start with mobility first – if you havn't done any regular exercise in a while (1 year+) and you have a sedentary job then start with flexibility work. If you have tight muscles to start with (hamstrings, calf muscles, back) then they are only going to get tighter! You could start with a yoga or pilates 6-week programme or a few home exercises such as squats and back exercises, like below. Best to get advice from someone like myself or a personal trainer first.
2.Build up slowly – make sure you follow a structured programme designed for your level. If you skip sessions then repeat. Building up too quickly will mean your muscles will not have time to adapt and you run the risk of overuse injuries.
3. Ensure you warm and warm down adequately – a warm up should be dynamic movement related to the actvitiy so if you are running start with walking for 10 mins first. Also take time to do a least a 15 minute warm-down involving static stretches of 30seconds of each muscle group used.
5. What to do if you feel a niggle? Mild muscle soreness is normal with any increase in exercise but if its anything more then stop the exercise, pop on some ice and/or anti-inflammatories and ideally seek a health professional like myself for a diagnosis and some guidance.
Finally, well done for signing up for a challenge and I'm sure you will get some great rewards from it. Getting back into exercise is great for your health and if you follow my tips I'm sure you will have a smooth course.
I'm here to help, so please don't hesitate to contact me if you want some advice.

Of the countries with large Baloch populations, Pakistan is the most reliant upon the ports and resources of its insurgent Baloch province. Given the structure of the Pakistani state and the division of the Baloch people across three countries, a standalone secession of Balochistan in the manner of Bangladesh seems infeasible.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Country hit-making duo Brooks & Dunn are riding a resurgence of interest in '90s-era country music with a new album celebrating their top-selling singles, a longstanding Las Vegas residency and now an invitation to join the Country Music Hall of Fame.
The duo, along with comedic singer Ray Stevens and record label head Jerry Bradley, were announced Monday as this year's inductees and will be formally inducted during a ceremony later this year.
"There's a lot going on at this stage that generally doesn't happen," Ronnie Dunn told The Associated Press after the press conference inside the Hall of Fame's rotunda featuring plaques honoring the icons of the industry. Their new album, "Reboot," out April 5, features the duo on new versions of their hits with today's country stars such as Kacey Musgraves, Luke Combs and Kane Brown.
With multi-platinum sales, they became one of country's biggest touring acts for decades, combining Brooks' big personality and guitar work and Ronnie's singing.
"We were just weird enough that I think fans got that. These two guys don't really belong together, but they are up there doing it," Brooks said.
The duo split up in 2010 and they both started working on solo projects, but reunited in 2015 for what's turned into a four-year residency in Las Vegas with Reba McEntire.
Bradley was the former head of RCA Records' Nashville office and worked with Waylon Jennings, Dolly Parton, Ronnie Milsap, Charley Pride and Alabama. Under his helm, the label produced the first platinum-selling country record, "Wanted! The Outlaws," a compilation album among Jennings, Willie Nelson, Jessi Colter and Tompall Glaser.

Jedes Embedded System benötigt eine Stromversorgung, und deren Wirkungsgrad ist ihre wichtigste Kenngröße. Doch wie so oft bei wichtigen Kennzahlen fehlt es an einer einheitlichen Messmethode und einem einheitlichen Messaufbau. Erschwerend kommt hinzu, dass der Wirkungsgrad von externen Einflussfaktoren wie der Eingangsspannung, dem Laststrom und der Umgebungstemperatur abhängt.

Outstanding! Delivered on what they promised and did so at a great price! Highly recommend.
We found Alexander Technical Resources (ATR) through Angie's List and were a bit skeptical about remote access and remote repairs on our computer, but Thomas at ATR did an outstanding job for us. He went above and beyond the call of duty and got our computer humming like a sewing machine.

The Madison Excavating Quinte Red Devils Peewees were the 2018 Gold Medal winners of the OMHA Championships last March earning themselves the honour and privilege of hosting at home on the CAA Arena this past weekend.
The Devils earned their way in the front door of the tournament with a three game sweep of Central Ontario Wolves in the first round of playoffs and a repeat with a three straight game sweep of the Markham Waxers in the second round.
The attending teams this year included the Southern Tier Admirals, Grey Bruce Highlander, York-Simcoe Express and a last play in game entry of the Markham Waxers.
Game one of the tournament for the Devils was a 5-1 win over Grey Bruce. Game two on Friday ended in a 3-3 tie with the York-Simcoe Express. Saturday had the Devils face the Admirals in a sizeable match up. Quinte came out on top with a 3-2 win and a guaranteed spot in the gold medal game on Sunday. Game two Sunday was a rematch with the second round playoff opponent, the Markham Waxers. The Devils succumbed to a 4-2 loss.
The Gold Medal game Sunday was a familiar match up as the Quinte Red Devils played the Markham Waxers for Gold for the third year in a row. In the end, the Devils fell short with a 4-1 loss but proudly took the Silver Medal. The entire team and staff would like to thank the greater Quinte community for their support throughout the weekend. The CAA stands were loud with Devils fans!!


Today I wanted to check the route going north from Sarata Monteoru. I discovered great new asphalt roads, beautiful villages and a very picturesque forest trail, with more than 10 km long. Ciolanu Monastery and the Sculpture Camp at Magura are also impressive.
Besides all this, me and Dan witnessed a wild boar's fast retreat, right after spotting us on the road. It was the first time when I saw such wild beast at a considerable size (about 250 kilos, I assume). We heard that the region is full with wild boars, deer and recently discovered jackals. At the end of the day we admired a large owl flying gracefully over our heads.
