SMMT Test Day 2017: Part 1 – Audi R8 Spyder
A few weeks ago I was fortunate enough to be invited to the SMMT Test Day at Millbrook Proving Ground.
The SMMT Test Day is basically an excuse for journalists and manufacturers to get together and network whilst getting to drive some of the great cars they currently have on the market. Millbrook itself is like a theme park for petrolheads with its famous Alpine Hill route, the high speed bowl, a city route and off road course along with loads of other specialist test sections. With it being a purpose built test facility with the likes of Aston Martin having their own on-site premises, it is the perfect place to drive a variety of cars in a variety of different environments.
Due to the nature of the event, certain cars could only be driven on specific routes and there was a strict 55mph speed limit on the Alpine Circuit for everyone's safety so there was not much scope for a full-on road test, but there was definitely enough time and road (or track) to give you a great idea of what the cars will be like in the real world.
All in all, I got to drive around 20 cars, but to save you a few hours that you will never get back, I have picked out a select few that I feel a worth talking about:
Audi R8 Spyder
After about half an hour of briefings and a short talk by the SMMT Chief Exec, Mike Hawes, I was handed the keys to my first drive of the day. A Daytona Grey Audi R8 Spyder. There are definitely worse ways to start a Thursday!
I have wanted to drive the newest incarnation of the Audi's flagship supercar as the last time I got up close with one was way back in 2007 when the original V8 model was released. The R8 has come along way since then – The original was a great looking car and a real show stopper for the time, but as the likes of Mclaren and Porsche have upped their game in the "entry level supercar" catagory, the R8 needs to be very special to warrant that £120k+ price tag! On the outside the second generation R8 looks as good as ever. The subtle cosmetic changes have kept the style up to date whilst still keeping that noticeable "R8" shape.
It's all very futuristic and space-age inside, Audi have done away with the traditional screen in the centre console and replaced the old dials with what Audi calls its "Virtual Cockpit" which is essentially a very impressive single screen that not only acts as the speedo and rev counter, but also turns into a full screen map for the satellite navigation among other things. Being used to my older cars and being a bit of an old man at heart anyway, it did take me a few minutes to work out exactly how to navigate my way around the dash set up and set the Drive Select switch to my preferred setting, which was of course the "Dynamic" setting.
The first thing you notice when you start to drive off in the R8 is how light everything feels. It doesn't have the usual heaviness that a lot of supercars have. It's one of the things that makes it a great everyday car – just cruising along at 30mph feels the same as it would in a TT, you don't even really feel like the car is that wide or loud. It's when you open the taps on it though that you realise you're not in a TT. The V10 opens up and all of a sudden there is a sense of occasion. All you can hear is that fabulous V10 roar as it's 540bhp pushes you forwards. Accelerating from 0 to 60 in 3.6 seconds, the Audi will then keep going all the way to 197mph and it will keep you smiling all the way there.
The body stays flat all the way round the Alpine Circuit, and there is little to no understeer from it's rear-biased Quattro set up. Everything about the Audi feels tight including the gear changes. I know a lot of people would have liked the choice of a manual gearbox as the 6-speed gated one in the first generation was spot on, but in my opinion the newest wave of double-clutch transmissions are just so quick and precise. Add that to the throttle blips on downshifts and crackles from the exhaust and you've got a fantastic driving experience that just anyone who has a drivers licence can enjoy. Compared to a lot of other cars around this price point, the R8 is by far the easiest to live with. The rear visibility is not as bad as I was expecting and on the high speed circuit cruising as over 90mph with the roof down, it still felt quite civilised and quiet. When you put the car back in to comfort mode the whole thing loosens up, the throttle blips disappear and the gear changes are not as hard making it ideal for everyday driving.
All in all, the R8 is a fantastic all-rounder. Focused enough to take on the Mclaren 570S but comfy enough to live with everyday like the AMG GT or a Porsche.

Q: How to extend page module in contao? I want to insert image in page module. Anybody have idea how to extend page in contao ?
See screen for more clarification.
http://screencast.com/t/JXk5thjlvHv
See attached screen .. my idea is like this.

A: You could do that by giving the pages specific CSS classes in their settings. This CSS class will also be used in the regular navigation modules. This way you can define the page's icon in your own stylesheets.

A: That actually depends how much you want to do.. the easy way: define classes... But thats not the most flexible one.
Lets say you have a custom icon font. Or maybe just FontAwesome. And you want to use these Icons to be shown. In this case, I would install the IconPicker Module by Rocksolid and write a custom module:
/system/modules/z-customs/dca/tl_page.php
$GLOBALS['TL_LANG']['tl_page']['icon']=array('Pageicon', 'Set an Icon for the Page');
$GLOBALS['TL_DCA']['tl_page']['fields']['icon'] = array(
    'label'                   => &$GLOBALS['TL_LANG']['tl_page']['icon'],
    'exclude'                 => true,
    'inputType'               => 'rocksolid_icon_picker',
    'eval'                    => array(
        'fieldType'=>'radio',
        'tl_class'=>'w100 clr',
        'iconFont' => 'files/fonts/fontawesome-webfont.svg',
        ),
    'sql'                     => "varchar(100) NOT NULL default ''",
);

/templates/nav_default.html5
<?php if($item['icon']): ?>data-icon="&#x<?= $item['icon']; ?>"<?php endif; ?>

This part can be added to the <li> or the <strong> or a. You may also add a class to the element, to make sure only the elements that have an Icon get the appropriate style.
To get the Icon into the CSS you would just do something like this:
a:before {
    content: attr(data-icon);
    font-family: "FontAwesome";
}

Q: Page is not Inertia rendered after login using vuejs and laravel i am using laravel project with vuejs and inertiajs. i want to make user login and after login i want the user to redirect to test.vue file, which i created just for learning. i made a registration form after submit registration form i call a function login, i.e i want the same user to login, who registered. my set login function is working properly, but failed to redirect to vue page using inertia render.
RegistrationForm.vue

     SubmitRegistration(){
                       this.$v.$touch();
                       if (this.$v.$invalid) return;

        }

test.vue

    <template>
        <h1>
        Hello
        </h1>
    </template>

A: Try to make a visit to the loggedInUser using this.$inertia.post(url, data) instead of the axios call. That is, do:
setLogin() {
    const data = {
        email: this.form.email,
        password: this.form.password
    }
    this.$inertia.post(url, data);
};

instead of:
setLogin() {
    const data = {
        email: this.form.email,
        password: this.form.password
    }
    axios.post('loggedInUser',data)
        .catch(({ response }) => {
            this.$toast.error(response.data.message,'error', {timeout: 3000});
        });
}


WORRY is a big cause of ill-health. Too often, someone will worry over seemingly inconsequential things. Having been what I described myself as the world's worst worrier, I know a lot about it. I stopped calling myself the worst because I worried so much, I was an "expert." I was the best!
That was before I learned that worry is an endless circle that begins and ends in the same place. I also learned that worry is caused by fear. That was when it was revealed to me that love could heal anything, so I determined to find out if love would work for me.
I was pleasantly surprised when love worked seeming miracles in me. The crux of the matter was to replace fear with love. I discovered that when I allowed love to do what it wanted to me, fear "got the message," and left!
Allowing love to replace fear is a way of turning The Golden Key. What the Bible states is true, perfect love casts out fear. Of course, love – Divine Love – is perfect because it is the real nature of God. When you "Golden Key" an apparent inharmonious condition in your body, you invoke the perfect nature of God.
A Golden Key affirmation I like is, LOVE IN ME IS PERFECT HEALING POWER. THROUGH LOVE I AM STRONG, HEALTHY, AND VIBRANTLY ALIVE!
What's really interesting about prosperity is not how much you have, but the way you live it. There are deliberate ways of thinking and feeling that build a prosperity mindset. Here's a simple fun one that feels good. It's the spiritual principle of kindness!
Kindness is an extraordinary prosperity energizer, because it is closely related to love. By sharing the tenderness within you, you draw countless blessings into your life. Kindness not only yields immense emotional, physical, social benefits; but it magnetizes you to abundance.
When I was moving out of my home after a divorce, I felt heartbroken. A friend asked if there was anything she could do. I declined saying I was moving out of state. She said she was great at packing. Raised in a military family, she said growing up her family moved every two years. This kind lady came over and packed all my things while I tearfully stood by and watched. (Oh, and I ordered pizza).
I've never forgotten how her kindness filled my heart. It propelled me forward to a great new job and life.
Kindness might seem lightweight but; it's the kindest people who are the most likely to thrive and to enable others to thrive. Gigantic, or microscopic, one-time or on-going, superficial or substantial; there are infinite ways to bring cheerfulness, hope, and well-being into the life of another.
Affirm: I am kind and loving. I am beautiful, warmhearted and intelligent.
Don't be afraid to ask, "How can I help?". If you know someone who is overwhelmed with a new baby or a health issue, give them a call when you're going out. Ask if they'd like you to pick up something they need and drop it by. Invite someone to dinner who might be alone at the holidays. Put a surprise love note in with your kid's lunch. Learn the names of your office security guard, and person at the front desk and; greet them by name.
Cherie Larkin, Creator of Spiritual Growth Studio, is an international teacher of prosperity and abundance. For more than four decades she has been showing people, just like you, how to use universal spiritual principles to create an extraordinary life.
Count your age by friends – not years. – Count your life by smiles – not tears.
And Love's in the mart!
For Love's in my heart!


Pump Systems Matter (PSM) and the Hydraulic Institute (HI) are offering a one-day course designed to help pump users learn how to identify and reduce hidden operating and energy costs in their pumping systems and increase profitability. The course also will help pump users communicate with customers, distributors, and vendors more effectively by imparting the critical knowledge needed to present and discuss energy-savings opportunities.
The course, "Pumping System Optimization: Opportunities to Improve Life Cycle Performance," will help attendees gain a new awareness of the skills they will need to help improve efficiency in their pumping systems and reduce energy and operating costs. Attendees also will earn seven professional-development-hour credits (PDH) from the Hydraulic Institute after completing the course.
According to the U.S. Department of Energy pumping systems in the U.S. industrial sector account for almost 25 percent of all energy consumed by electric motors and more than 50 percent of the electricity in certain pump-intensive industries, such as municipal water and wastewater. A typical medium-sized plant spends more than $1.4 million each year on energy to run its pumping system. Better system design and optimized pumping systems could result in an average energy savings of 20 to 25 percent or more, about $350,000 per year.
The course will cover a number of optimization topics, including "Why Efficient Pumping Systems Are Important," "Systems Optimization and Improvement Opportunities," "Basic Pump Systems Interaction," and "Screening Pumping Systems." The day-long course will be taught by PSM-qualified instructors. Students will receive a participants guide and take part in group exercises during the program. They also will receive copies of "Optimizing Pumping: A Guide for Improved Energy Efficiency, Reliability and Profitability" and "Pump Systems Assessment Guide," a resource document that identifies where to find other valuable tools online.
PSM and HI will host the course in five regional areas in 2010: Parsippany, N.J., on May 11; Chicago on May 18; Ft. Worth, Texas, on June 8; Wilmington, Del., on June 23; and Charleston, S.C., on Aug. 10. Classes are limited to 25 attendees.
HI and PSM also are offering the opportunity for interested companies, electric power utilities, energy-efficiency non-governmental organizations, and state energy offices to host the course in their service territory or present the course for their own group of employees/customers. PSM will provide a qualified instructor, course materials, marketing materials, training solutions, and other essential materials as needed.
Additional details and registration can be found online at www.pumpsystemsmatter.org.

Abraaj's founder steps down from Air Arabia's board
Abraaj is now under a court-supervised liquidation
12 August 2018 03:43 PM
AIRARABIA
Dubai – Mubasher: Abraaj Capital's founder Arif Naqvi has resigned from Air Arabia's board of directors.
The Dubai-listed carrier's board stated that they held a meeting to discuss Mr Naqvi's resignation, adding that a replacement will be appointed in the coming period, according to a company statement.
In June, Air Arabia announced that it has an overall exposure of $336 million to the UAE-based private equity firm Abraaj.
The Emirati private equity company, Abraaj Group, is now under a court-supervised liquidation after facing a backlash of money misusage allegations.
Several companies in the region, particularly those listed in the UAE, have disclosed their exposure to Abraaj as per a circular issued by the Securities and Commodities Authority (SCA). Such companies included Air Arabia's AED 1.2 billion exposure, Al Qudra Investments, and the Commercial Bank of Dubai (CBD).

My friend Margaret Hubert and I appeared in this "Bits and People" column by Mae Greene in the 15 January 2004 issue of the News Chronicle of Pawling, New York. Here's the story of how it came about. In spite of what it says in the caption, the photo was actually taken by Margaret's friend Earl Slocum.
But when it is the highly decorated vehicle by Tim Klein, it becomes a work of art. Via the Internet, local champion crocheter and author of books of crocheting, Margaret Huber [sic], came across this fascinating item and got in touch with Mr. Klein to meet with him and see the automobile. Looking for company for the trip to Valhalla, Margaret persuaded Earl Slocum to accompany her. Always accommodating, Earl did the driving. As a result of their meeting, Tim Klein was invited to participate in the New York City Knit/Crochet fair.
Next, as a consequence of Margaret having attended a Fiber Arts Forum in Australia where she talked about meeting Tim Klein, they are both being written up in the "Australian Forum for the Textile Arts" magazine. Margaret is well-known in Pawling for her classes at Marie Stewart's Yarn and Craft Box. Many thanks to Margaret for this unique story, which proves if you are paying attention, there are interesting things going on worth sharing.

NFL power rankings 2022
NFL power rankings coming out of Week 16, broken down by tier
We break down how things looking before heading into Week 17.
By David Fucillo@davidfucillo Updated Dec 28, 2020, 7:54pm PST
Share All sharing options for: NFL power rankings coming out of Week 16, broken down by tier
Photo by Joe Sargent/Getty Images
The NFL has one more game to wrap up Week 16, and then we're headed to the final week of the regular season. The Buccaneers have clinched a playoff berth, the Chiefs clinched the AFC's top seed, and the Saints, Steelers, and Seahawks each locked up their respective divisions. The Bills and Patriots close out Week 16 on Monday Night Football.
In the meantime, we're back for another round of tier NFL power rankings. Rather than rank teams 1-32, we've broken them down into tiers. They're ranked in their respective tier by record, but teams with the same record are not purposely situated one over another. It's just to group teams with similar teams in terms of where they stand.
The Chiefs tier
Kansas City Chiefs (14-1)
The Chiefs win over the Falcons wasn't pretty, but even the best teams have their stumbles along the way. They are the best team in the league even coming off a struggle like that.
Top tier — not Chiefs edition
Buffalo Bills (12-3)
Green Bay Packers (12-3)
New Orleans Saints (11-4)
Pittsburgh Steelers (12-3)
Seattle Seahawks (11-4)
The Saints, Steelers, and Seahawks all got huge wins to lock up their respective divisions. For Pittsburgh in particular, beating Indianapolis could be what gets them back on track after looking like they wee in a tailspin.
Going to the playoffs officially tier
Tampa Bay Buccaneers (10-5)
The Bucs clinched a wild card berth and if they beat the Falcons or the Rams lose to the Cardinals in Week 17, they get to face the NFC East champ in the wild card round. That's gotta be worth something!
Going to the playoffs in all likelihood tier
Tennessee Titans (10-5)
The Titans took one on the chin in Green Bay, but they're still on track for a playoff berth. Even with the loss, they hold the tiebreaker over Indianapolis and only need a win in Houston to clinch it.
This has gotten interesting — AFC edition
Cleveland Browns (10-5)
Baltimore Ravens (10-5)
Miami Dolphins (10-5)
Indianapolis Colts (10-5)
Three of these four teams are going to the playoffs, but this whole situation went sideways in Week 16. The Ravens were on the outside looking in, but now they've passed the Browns and the Colts now sit on the outside looking in. It's going to be a wild Week 17.
This has gotten interesting — NFC edition
Los Angeles Rams (9-6)
Arizona Cardinals (8-7)
Chicago Bears (8-7)
Rams-Cardinals was going to be important in Week 17, but now it could be a win or go home game. The Rams hold a head-to-head edge over Chicago, but if they lose to the Cardinals, LA drops behind them and thus out of the playoff picture. Chicago could need a win over Green Bay to get in.
NFC East tier
Washington Football Team (6-9)
Dallas Cowboys (6-9)
New York Giants (5-10)
We're down to a three-team race for the division. if Washington beats Philadelphia, they win the division. If Washington loses, the winner of Cowboys-Giants claims the division.
Mathematically eliminated
The Jalen Hurts tier
Philadelphia Eagles (4-10-1)
The Eagles are a curious team. Hurts appears to be emerging as a potential answer at the quarterback position, but he also has only three career starts under his belt. The Eagles are playing for nothing but pride and to be a spoiler in Week 17. I'm already looking forward to Jalen Hurts in 2021.
At least they have a QB of the future sub-tier
Los Angeles Chargers (6-9)
Houston Texans (4-11)
Cincinnati Bengals (4-10-1)
These three are not going to the playoffs and have plenty of issues to deal with, but they head into 2021 at least thinking they have an answer at the most important position on the field.
Facing big questions
Atlanta Falcons (4-11)
Carolina Panthers (4-10)
New England Patriots (6-9)
San Francisco 49ers (6-9)
Las Vegas Raiders (7-8)
Minnesota Vikings (6-9)
We add the Raiders and Vikings to this group now that both have been eliminated. Neither has a clear long-term answer at quarterback, and both have huge questions about their respective defenses. I suspect neither makes a big move at QB this offseason, but do invest heavily on defense.
I'm not sure what to make of these two
Denver Broncos (5-10)
Detroit Lions (5-10)
Same as last week: Detroit has a solid quarterback in Matthew Stafford and Denver has a quarterback in Drew Lock that they hope can be their feature. I don't know what to make of them compared to the big questions group above.

For the most part I worked in my scripture art journal at my retreat this month, but I did manage to get one actual Bible page finished. This one was from a devotional that a dear lady had shared during our time spent together.
We had begun the retreat by discussing the judgement we place on ourselves and others, and I definitely needed the Biblical reminder to not conform to society's standards. We spend all this time rating each other, based on achievements, sins, and outwardly appearance, but that is not the life that God designed for us.
This pretty little sticker from Shimelle's Glitter Girl Collection was the perfect illustration to represent an idea of appreciation, not only for myself but of others as well.
Thanks so much for stopping by again today, and I hope that you are reminded to find your value and that of others in Christ! Shake off the conformity of today's society and see the beauty in the crown that has been placed on our heads!

Eric Skytterholm Egan is an Irish-Norwegian composer based in Newcastle. He has worked with musicians and ensembles including Curious Chamber Players, Fidelio Trio, Arditti Quartet, El Perro Andaluz, Crash Ensemble and players from the BBC SSO, Northern Sinfonia and Klangforum Wien. Eric is currently teaching fellow in composition at Durham University.
A PINT OF PLAIN is a piece about the great joy to be had in having a couple down the pub. The piece explores some very serious compositional concepts but it's mostly about the unadulterated joy of the first sip of a fresh pint when there is nothing else that you have to do. It's about that moment, at the end of a good day, when you with a good conscience can say that the rest can be left for tomorrow.
A PINT OF PLAIN is about those moments in life that you rarely remember but couldn't live without. It's about sitting in a quiet pub with time on your hands. It's about allowing your memories and thoughts to flow freely, unimpeded by external distractions. But mostly, it's about the interaction between a man and his pint.


Warm nights, cold cocktails, sunkissed weather — we couldn't be more excited for the summer season. But, longer days, sweatier conditions, and more kickage with friends also means hauling more stuff with us when head out in the a.m. (It's no coincidence that a study conducted by Kelley Styring, author of In Your Purse: Archaeology of the American Handbag and principal researcher for InsightFarm Inc, found that purse sales are highest in May, June, and July.) Between the oversized totes and carryalls that we stock for work, the gym, our social lives, and the personal purses we carry (stocked with everything from makeup to electronics), we've got a lot of stuff to haul. And, according to researchers, that ain't good.
A study published earlier this year in the Journal of Applied Physiology showed that hauling heavy bags caused nerve, muscle, and skeletal damage in its carriers. The study showed that the nerves that travel through the neck and shoulders were of particular risk, since carrying heavy bags was shown to cut their capacity and slow the muscles' ability to do as the brain commands. So, if our brains are telling us to move our fingers or hand, for example, damaged nerves cause our muscles to lag out, resulting in a delay of movement. The study, which tested soldiers who carried heavy packs, also found that they reported numbness in the fingers due to heavy loads. Yikes.
Pound per pound, women may not carry as much gear as a soldier. But, we do tote a lot of stuff: The average American woman packs 67 items in her purse, according to Styring.
Nerve damage is just half of it, though. Indiana University researcher and occupational and environmental health expert Kevin Slates has studied the heavy-load phenomena in students. In his own 2007 survey, he found that more women reported pain in their backs and shoulders, due to the bags they carried for school, than men.
Slates says that based on his research and other similar studies, women who wish to avoid injury and chronic pain shouldn't carry more than 10 to 15 percent of their body weight, though he notes that in his own study, subjects started to clock discomfort and pain when carrying bags just 11.25 percent of their own body weight.
Pack For Plans, Not Options: If you start your day with every intention of hitting the gym only to find that half of the time, your workout gear goes unused, then it's time to get real about the stuff you're carrying.
Use Your Office As A Locker Room: We spend about a third of our life at work, so we might as well make ourselves at home there, right? To minimize our load, Morgenstern recommends we move in a bit. "When it comes to things like the gym or going out at night, if you're going to work first, store that stuff at work. There's no need to schlep it home," she says. She also suggests we keep our outfit upgrades (like a killer pair of heels or statement jewelry) at the cube farm too. "That way you do have your options without having to carry them," she says.
Think Mini: Three-ounce items don't just satisfy the TSA, they give your back and shoulders a break as well. After separating your things into smaller pouches, Morgenstern says, "look at the actual contents of each bag and go as small and light as possible for everything." She points out that personal care products can really weigh a woman down. So, she suggests finding the smallest size comb to do the job and transferring foundations and hair care products, for example, to tiny containers that strictly hold the dollop of product you might need for the day.


Save Lives and Property! See the Disaster Reform Route!
The BuildStrong Coalition believes the federal government should adopt lessons from Hurricanes Katrina and Sandy and REFORM the United States natural disaster spending policy by focusing on preventative disaster mitigation measures in order to save lives, prevent damage, and drastically reduce the cost of recovery for taxpayers.
On August 29, 2005, Hurricane Katrina made landfall in southeast Louisiana killing 1,833 people and causing $108 billion in property damage, making it the costliest natural disaster in United States history. Seven years later, Hurricane Sandy made landfall on the Atlantic coast of the United States, killing 233 people and causing $68 billion in property damage, making it the second costliest hurricane in United States history. The two hurricanes struck different parts of the United States seven years apart from each other and cost taxpayers $176 billion, almost all of which was funded by off-budget, ad hoc disaster payments.
These disasters are just the latest example of why the U.S. disaster spending process is broken and in need of immediate reforms.

Passing new congressional initiatives which will create state, builder and individual resilient construction incentives.
The investment costs of these mitigation programs should be paid for by reallocating $1 billion of the appropriated $36 billion in non-FEMA grant funds established after Hurricane Sandy. Almost $30 billion of this money remains unspent and a portion should be dedicated to reforms that will save taxpayer lives and money.
Federal disaster assistance as a percentage of the total loses is increasing.
Now 80% paid by taxpayers! In 1990 taxpayers paid only 25%.
The federal government continues to have massive fiscal exposure in high risk areas.
$10.6 trillion worth of property is located on the hurricane-prone Gulf and Atlantic coasts of the US.
The U.S. needs a comprehensive national mitigation investment strategy.
Over the past 5 years, FEMA has only spent $222 million on prevention while it spent $3.2 billion post-disaster.
The best way to facilitate resilient construction is through building codes and state, local and private incentives.
Resilient construction saves lives. Just ask any first responder.
The Congressional Fire Services Institute, Firemen's Association of the State of New York, International Association of Fire Chiefs, National Association of State Fire Marshals, and National Fire Protection Association all stand behind the BuildStrong Coalition's dedication to enacting stronger building codes.
These policy changes outlined in the BuildStrong Coalition National Mitigation Investment Strategy will address the primary concern that congressional leaders, the GAO, and policy experts have identified: Our current policies on natural disaster spending do not devote enough federal resources to avoid catastrophic loss of life or infrastructure before a natural disaster strikes.

A deep-sea swimming sea cucumber, Enypniastes eximia, has been filmed for the first time off East Antarctica.
The unusual creature is also known as a "headless chicken monster".
It was discovered using an underwater camera system developed for commercial long-line fishing by the Australian Antarctic Division.
Programme Leader Dr Dirk Welsford said the cameras are capturing important data which is being fed into the international body managing the Southern Ocean, the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources.
Before now, the headless chicken monster had only ever been filmed before in the Gulf of Mexico.

Guardians Of The Galaxy 4 May Never Happen
Disney/Marvel Studios
By Zach Lisabeth/April 20, 2020 1:11 pm EST
Even though director James Gunn's Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 is still a few years away, it's never too early for fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe to begin speculating about the follow-up and what might come after it.
Gunn recently took to Instagram for another one of his fan-friendly Q&A sessions, and he had quite a bit to say about the future of the Guardians of the Galaxy franchise (via MCU Cosmic). The third Guardians film has already been announced and is 100-percent in the works (though it likely won't drop as part of Phase 4 of the MCU), and many believe that it's a likely candidate to land in Disney's open May 2023 slot for a theatrical release. That potential launch date is fairly far into the future, but inquirers on Instagram were still hot to grill Gunn about the future beyond Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3.
When one fan pressed about plans for a potential Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 4, Gunn replied that he had always envisioned his Guardians series as a trilogy — and nothing more. "I planned to do a trilogy from the beginning if the first one worked," Gunn wrote in an Instagram Story reply. "I have no plans to do a fourth [film]."
That doesn't really leave much wiggle room for hopeful fans. While we aren't saying there's no chance that Disney and Marvel Studios will find a way to keep the Guardians of the Galaxy franchise alive well beyond 2023 and Phase 4 of the MCU, the totality of the evidence isn't looking so good right now. Here's why Guardians 4 may never happen.
James Gunn is essential to the Guardians of the Galaxy formula
As Gunn himself stated, he always envisioned creating a trilogy of Guardians of the Galaxy films. With that trilogy set to conclude with Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, it sounds like Gunn might be ready to retire from the franchise. That's not to say another filmmaker couldn't pick up the baton for a fourth flick, but if that were to happen, fans may not be too jazzed with the results. More than almost any other sub-franchise in the MCU, Guardians is uniquely linked to the visionary filmmaking of its director and series overlord. Without Gunn's creative oversight, it's hard to imagine a possible Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 4 even registering as a proper Guardians film.
Consider also that Guardians of the Galaxy occupies a unique niche within the MCU. For all the relevant connections to the Infinity Saga told across the first three phases of the MCU, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 sported a tone and aesthetic that stood apart from the rest of Disney's superhero oeuvre. The enduring brilliance of the Guardians films is that they never took themselves too seriously. Even when the stakes got high, Gunn's movies never lost sight of the fact that they were a pair of whacky space operas set to a toe-tapping 1970s soundtrack featuring a talking raccoon and an anthropomorphic tree. It's hard to imagine Guardians 3 departing from that formula — mostly because it so obviously works — but could a Guardians 4 achieve the same results with a different director and a shuffled cast?
There's also the small fact that by 2023, most of the Guardians cast will have been with their MCU characters for almost a decade. Many of them — most notably Star-Lord actor Chris Pratt and Gamora actress Zoe Saldana — are even bigger stars now than they were in 2014 when the first Guardians bowed; they may want to explore other avenues in their careers, and the potential departure of Gunn from the franchise would be just the kind of excuse that could precipitate a mass exodus.
It all adds up to a pretty rocky road for a theoretical Guardians 4, though — for fans, at least — hope always springs eternal. Although the end for the beloved band of space-faring superheroes may be visible on the distant horizon, we all still have Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 to look forward to, so let's just hang onto that.


Pig Destroyer has completed work on the first music video from their new album, "Phantom Limb." The video, for "Loathsome," was shot in Los Angeles, CA with director Carlos Batts (Swarn Of The Lotus, Dog Fashion Disco). The completed video is scheduled to make its world-premier sometime in May.


Vivienne Tam built her business on lavish evening gowns that fuse her Chinese heritage with modern technology, but today's show threw a wrench in that formula. Spring was all about casual, streetwise clothes for both girls and guys; it was Tam's first time casting male models in her show. "Traveling between New York, Hong Kong, and Paris, I noticed people on the streets were very androgynous," Tam explained before the show. "Girls were wearing men's clothes, and men were wearing more feminine things." Sure, you could chalk it up to the impact Hari Nef, Andreja Pejic, and (most famously) Caitlyn Jenner have had on pop culture this year. But transgender isn't a trend, and Tam included lots of additional context, too, like the oft-referenced Chinese Art Deco period, which saw women playing with masculine style for the first time.
The show opened with a relaxed, strapless gray striped ensemble that captured Tam's new laid-back approach. It was closely followed by a few different takes on shirting, like a flouncy wrap dress and a men's charcoal jumpsuit with a ruffle down the front. A lot of the best pieces, however, were the ones that could pass for unisex, like the satin souvenir jackets—already a big trend for fall—and tech-mesh bombers. For the red carpet, Tam showed playful mahjong-inspired dresses that were undeniably fun; the game was introduced in the U.S. during the Art Deco period. Intricate dresses with embroidered rows of tiles felt whimsical, but still a lot more restrained than the gilded, heavily embellished dresses Tam showed in the past.

Though Cruise and Cruz were very serious about their relationship, they reportedly split in 2004.
Vanity Fair stated that the main reason behind the breakup was due to the Church of Scientology not accepting Cruz as she was unwilling to give up her Buddhist beliefs.
However, the Church of Scientology strongly denied that any objections to Cruz's religious beliefs.
In a separate statement to US Weekly, the Church said,
"The allegations and the entire premise of the Vanity Fair article related to Mr. Miscavige, the ecclesiastical leader of the Scientology religion, are totally unfounded and false and categorically denied. The statements and events described about the Church are denied in their entirety."
Well, Cruz is living a blessed life with her husband beyond any religious boundaries and that's the best thing in a relationship.

Things to do w/ mom before baby arrives?
Asking the second time moms...what are things you wish you did with your mom before you had kids?
I (think I do!) have a day or a few days and I wanna make sure I make the most of my one-on-one time with my mom!
Re: Things to do w/ mom before baby arrives?
I'm not a STM, but I'm setting aside a day that my mom and I can go have lunch, get a pedicure, and run any last minute errands for things I need for either myself and my husband or for baby. We are also going to spend an afternoon prepping freezer meals (and stuff that she will have at her home to bring over as well). My mom was unable to have kids of her own, so I've tried to include her in all aspects of the pregnancy (minus conceiving.... hah), so I think I've done a fair amount up to this point.
I'm a STM and never heard of/thought of this question. My mom and I are pretty close, but not best friends. I only worried about last things to do with DH or other stuff I couldn't easily do with a baby like staying out late. I guess asking more questions about what it was like with a newborn or how breastfeeding went for her.
Meal prep!!!!! A friends mom made us a few meals for the freezer and we used them up so quick. I wish we filled our freezer with easy to heat up or crock pot meals. There will be days when you can't remember if you showered. The last thing you will be thinking about is whats for dinner. You and hubby still gotta eat.

Chapter 1 Once Upon A Time
Aiden Young stared out the window of the rental car. His mom, Lucy, had described early fall in Indiana as spectacular, but they'd missed autumn altogether, and she'd failed to mention that the heart of winter was so freaking bleak and bitter. He pulled a pen out of the spirals of his notebook and forced himself to ignore the poem he had written about Summer, his newly ex-girlfriend, on the previous page. On the next blank page, he wrote:
shivers through the claws
of dense skeleton branches
"What are you writing?" his mom asked from behind the wheel, rescuing him from comparing the cold poem to the way he felt. "I would love to hear something. You haven't shared your poetry with me in a long time. You know, I still have the very first one you wrote to me. Let's see, it went… 'Mommy, mommy—'"
"Hey!" He cleared his throat. "Umm… are you sure you turned down the right road?" He couldn't stomach his mom's "when you were a little boy" stories, even if guilt did nudge at him. He knew in her mind the reason he had tagged along was so that they could spend time together. In real life, her trip on the same weekend Summer had planned to come over had been perfect timing, and that's all. Summer wanted serious answers, and he didn't even want to talk about it, didn't want to think about it. "It's been forever since I've seen a house. Only trees and more trees and dead trees…"
"Nervous?" She smiled as she glanced back and forth from him to the road, her new, short hairstyle bouncing to the movement.
"You not watching the road is making me a little jumpy."
"No, I think city boy is scared of the woods." She gave a quick laugh before saying, "Granny once told me she saw the devil out there. Pitchfork and all."
"Well, if I was scared, that wouldn't help."
His mom watched the road in silence for a moment. "How much do you remember about my family?"
He shrugged. "I remember Augustus was a jerk."
"I'm sure he's changed by now."
"I hope some other stuff has changed, too," she mumbled. "There are a couple of things about them you probably don't remember."
"Wait!" Aiden pointed. "There's a house down that hill. Is that it?"
"That's it." She made a sharp left.
As they drove down the driveway, Aiden frowned. The house was old and worn, the paint peeling like someone had raked the white two-story from the top of the black trim down to the dead bushes. The windows, with a brownish build-up on the glass, didn't catch a single reflection. But the porch actually triggered a memory. He knew it wrapped the entire house because he remembered running around and around it when he was a little boy.
Lucy parked beside a red BMW. "I don't remember it being so—"
"I was going to say old. Anyway, how do I look?" She sat up straight and examined herself in the rearview mirror. Aiden didn't say anything because after the first fifty times he had told her she looked fine, he'd realized she wasn't listening for an answer. She was just nervous. They had almost missed their plane because she had changed her outfit a few hundred times. She had finally settled on black slacks, black leather jacket, pastel shirt, and low heels.
Aiden opened the car door. His Texas winter coat, actually a thin jacket, was no match for the icy wind. Since it had been shorts weather back home, he was thankful that at least he had worn long pants. As he walked toward the house, he tucked his hands inside his pockets and tried to look down at much as possible to keep the miserable cold from hitting his face.
Lucy knocked on the front door and looked around at the containers of flowers, plants, and condolence wreaths on the front porch. "I don't see the one I sent."
The door opened abruptly. Aiden had been seven the last time he saw his cousin, but he recognized the guy with dark, slicked-back hair and swollen eyes, one green and one blue, as Augustus. He wore jeans and an unbuttoned black shirt, which revealed a chain that dangled down a muscular chest.
"What?" His cousin's voice sounded groggy, like he had been woken from a nap.
"Augustus? Hi. Remember us? Aunt Lucy. And this is Aiden."
Augustus remained unenthused. "Oh," he said, walking away. He left the door wide open, presumably for them to follow. Aiden had half expected the inside of the house to look as unkempt as the outside. Other than the sheet-covered frame that hung on the wall with only a tarnished corner peeking out, there was nothing wrong or special about the spacious foyer. He glanced at the formal dining room, which was to the right, and at the hallway, stairs, and ramp on the left.
As they followed his cousin into a warm living room, Aiden noticed Augustus' hair wasn't short like it had first appeared but hung down in a pony-tail.
"Whoop," Aiden said as he tripped on the corner of the rug.
Augustus turned and glared at Aiden. "Watch your step."
Aiden smoothed the rug with his foot in case it was expensive or something. "Sorry, man."
"The last thing we need around here is more bad luck," Augustus said.
"Oh, everything is fine," Lucy offered. "Aiden's just real clumsy."
"Mom!"
She looked at Aiden sternly, as if to say, "Please, play along."
"Right…" Aiden said with full sarcasm. "I'm a klutz. I fall down all the time."
Augustus shook his head and walked to a chair that faced a blazing fireplace. A dozen or so pillar candles, at all stages of being burned, lined the mantle. A sofa, a wooden console television that looked so ancient Aiden doubted it received cable, and a small end table furnished the rest of the room.
They stood behind the sectional like two dummies. Slowly, Augustus swiveled around. "Sit down," he said. After they made it to the front of the couch, Lucy only sat on the edge, clearly uncomfortable. "Augustus," she said. "I don't know how to express how sorry we are."
"Diesel," Augustus said.
"I'm sorry?" Lucy replied.
"My name is Diesel."
"Oh! Your middle name. When did you start going by your middle name?"
"Five years ago."
"Oh," she nodded. "How… are you?" She smoothed her hair. "Are you doing all right?"
"The funeral was yesterday," he said.
"Yeah. I know, and I'm so sorry. I hoped we could drive out to the gravesite."
"You missed your own sister's funeral."
"I know. I know. We really tried to get here on time but the airport, you know, and Christmas. It's insane. Trying to rent a car was…"
Diesel shifted in his seat.
Lucy cleared her throat. "How's Granny?"
"She's sleeping. Do you want to see her?"
"Nooo, not if she's resting."
When Diesel jumped up and walked out of the room, Aiden tried to exhale the tension with a silent whistle. The fire crackled as they sat waiting.
They both turned when they heard a loud knock coming from above. A railing supported by carved wooden balusters edged the open landing. "Gran," Diesel said loudly. "Aunt Lucy and Aiden are here. Finally." The bedroom door creaked open.
After he heard the door shut, Aiden leaned over to his mom and whispered, "Man, he sure did get weird."
"Well, he's been through a lot. He just lost his mom."
"Sorry." Aiden felt bad for a second. But still… "What was with the rug and bad luck stuff, and you making me look like such a dweeb?"
"I didn't mean to. I was trying to make him feel better. It's so strange. I had no idea Augustus believed in all that stuff, too."
"Diesel," Aiden corrected with a smirk.
She nodded. "I mean Diesel. They're all a little different… a little superstitious, old-fashioned."
"How do you mean, superstitious? Black cats and stuff?"
She nodded. "It seems like every little thing. You see, the reason Diesel got upset earlier is because stumbling is suppose to be bad luck in general."
"I grew up with all of it."
"But you're not superstitious."
She leaned in closer to Aiden and whispered, "Because I knew all the old wives' tales, omens, and folklore Mom told me and Rose were only make-believe, like fairy tales. Now Rose, she soaked it all in and actually believed. But she didn't go all," she waved her hands, "you know until…"
Aiden shook his head because he didn't know. His mom rarely brought up her sister in conversation.
"Well, when she was pregnant, her boyfriend, Harley, ran off and left her. I think something completely snapped. Even though I had already moved out by then, I heard she took it hard. At least that S.O.B. left money for Diesel when he died."
"She's not feeling very well," Diesel said from directly behind them. They both jumped. "She wants to know if you guys can go up there."
"Sure, sure," Lucy said, her face bright red.
They followed Diesel into the foyer and up the stairs. After a few steps up, the stairs turned to the right. Aiden could see over the banister, down into the living room.
When they arrived at Granny's door, Aiden's heart thumped in his chest. He hadn't seen her in ten years. His own grandma, a stranger. He could also sense his mom's anxiety; she took her time walking inside the room.
Granny sat in a recliner covered by a worn quilt. Her grey, bushy eyebrows went all the way across and met in the middle of her brow. Her cheekbones sank in, and her long, silver hair draped over both of her shoulders.
"Lucille, you came," Granny said, her voice ungrateful.
"Mom," Lucy said. "How are you?"
"I'm hanging in there."
"I'm so sorry about Rose." Lucy leaned over and gave her mom a distant hug. "I can't believe she had a heart attack."
"I don't believe it, either. Doctors. All of them, money hungry. Hmph, it doesn't matter, anymore. She's gone. Rose is gone." Aiden heard the door close behind him. Diesel had left the room.
"She was a good daughter," Granny said. "I could count on her. Always here for me." She looked at Aiden. "My, my look at you. Come give Granny a hug."
Aiden walked over to Granny's stretched out arms and hugged her, smelling the scent of grassy earth. He pulled away, and she smiled warmly.
"It's so good to see you in person," she said. "I've been sent pictures, but it's not the same. Look at you. You remind me of your grandpa; he was tall and thin." She looked around Aiden. "Where's my new grandson? How old is he now, two? Seems a shame, a grandmother never even getting to meet her own grandson."
"He's three and… he has a cough, and I thought it would be easier." Lucy cleared her throat. "Mike stayed home with him."
Granny eased her attention over to Lucy. "I see. So when are you running off? I guess it's just as well, anyway."
Lucy straightened and smiled curtly. "There's something I need to talk—"
"You can stay in your old room if you want," Granny interrupted. "It's the same. We haven't changed a thing in case you ever decided to come home. Aiden, honey, you can take the guestroom downstairs. I'm feeling quite weak. Please ask Diesel if there's some leftovers from Rose's friends that I can have for my supper tonight. Rose always made supper…"
"I'd be happy to cook," Lucy said.
"I suppose that will do. Turn the light out when you leave."
Lucy stood for a second, wringing her hands, and then took a couple of steps to the bedside table and snapped off the lamp. The room went dim but not dark because of the daylight sneaking in from the window. Lucy turned abruptly and left the room. Aiden smiled at Granny, feeling awkward. "See ya," he said before following his mom's exit and shutting the door behind him.
Aiden caught up with Lucy on the stairs, mid-ramble. "She chose to live with Rose, and now she's acting like I abandoned her or something. She wouldn't even give me a chance to ask her. What makes me even think she would want to move in with me?"
"It was a little soon to ask, don't you think? Hi. Condolences. Want to pack up and move across the country?"
"Shhh. Why don't we go to the car," she said as they reached the foyer, "and we can talk."
Once in the car, Lucy placed her hand on her cheek as she stared out the front windshield. "I hope you can understand why I need to do this."
"I know, you and Dad explained it all at home. I mean, she's old, and you don't think a college kid like Diesel can take care of her." Ever since his mom had brought up her plan, he had been apprehensive, especially since his mom suggested she extend the invitation to Diesel, too, at least until after the holidays. However, after seeing Diesel, he didn't think he had to worry about him wanting to bunk together. He didn't seem the type. And, since Diesel was legally an adult, he could have the entire house to himself. Aiden knew what he would pick if he was given the choice.
"I didn't realize it would be so hard," his mom said, speaking more to herself than to Aiden. "I can't believe she's saying I ran off. I didn't run off. I got married… I couldn't bring myself to come back very often because every time I did, Rose acted and looked so strange, like a witch or gypsy or something. I couldn't stand to see her like that. She used to be so pretty. The last time we came here, I swear she was in the kitchen making some kind of potion."
"Cool, magic potions." Aiden imagined his aunt standing over a black cauldron, stirring it with a long wooden spoon.
"She wasn't normal," she whispered and wiped her eyes. "I tried to tell Mom that I wasn't sure Rose should be taking care of anyone and to come live with us. Of course she wouldn't hear anything bad about her Rose. She chose her over me… So it's not my fault. But I really didn't mean for ten years to pass. Now I feel like a terrible daughter and sister." Lucy inhaled a long breath and let it out quickly. "I'll never see Rose again, you know."
"I'm sorry." Aiden pulled a t-shirt out of his duffle bag from the backseat and handed it to his mom to wipe her tears.
"I know it's too late to make it up to Rose, but maybe I can help Mom and be there for my nephew. He doesn't have a mom or a dad now. We'll sit down and have a nice dinner and discuss everything with them, as a family. I'm sure they'll see that it's the best solution. Right?"
"I'm sorry. I really didn't mean to get all into that." She nodded and patted him on the leg. "I'm so glad you decided to come with me. I can't believe you chose to spend your holiday with me. It means a lot to me."
"Sure, Mom."
"Let's just get the bags—"
"Wait a minute," he said. "You're not suggesting we sleep here, are you?"
"We don't have a choice. After dinner it'll be too late to drive very far. You saw downtown. Did you see a Holiday Inn?"
They had driven straight through Kingwood, Indiana. Surrounded by worn-down shops sat an old, two-story courthouse, complete with bell tower and soaring front steps that led to a columned porch. Unfortunately, he hadn't seen anything that even resembled a modern hotel.
Lucy said, "Anyway, aren't you the one who told me I should take my time?"
"Yeah, but I meant during the day and after we checked into a hotel that had room service."
"It's only for the one night." Lucy sighed and stared at the house. "How bad could it be?"
He didn't look forward to being in the house at night; it already had a creepy Poe atmosphere during the day. He imagined Diesel looming over his bed with a butcher knife chanting, "You're bad luck. You're bad luck…" Aiden shuddered. "Right," he said. "How bad?"

US Secretary of Labor Marty Walsh Addresses President's Fiscal Year 2022 Discretionary Funding Request
WASHINGTON, DC – The Biden-Harris Administration today submitted to Congress the president's priorities for fiscal year 2022 discretionary spending. The funding request invests in the core foundations of our country's strength and advances key Department of Labor priorities. These include significant investments in protecting workers' rights, health and safety, and wages; strengthening and improving access and equity within the federal-state unemployment compensation program; supporting training opportunities that provide pathways to the middle class, especially for diverse communities; and enforcing employment anti-discrimination laws to ensure federal contracting fulfills America's promise to all Americans.
"This funding proposal is as bold as it is necessary in its scope and economic impact as we seek to boost workers and families out of the most challenging economic situation in generations. The proposal acknowledges and addresses the burden that communities of color and other traditionally underserved groups have borne throughout the pandemic," said U.S. Secretary of Labor Marty Walsh. "As a reflection of the people's needs, this funding proposal recognizes the need for workers' rights to be enforced, the need for expanded and diversified registered apprenticeship opportunities, the need for a stronger, more efficient unemployment insurance system and the overarching need for equity in all we do."
The president's FY22 discretionary request:
Empowers and protects American workers. To ensure employers treat workers with dignity and respect at work, the discretionary request invests $2.1 billion – an increase of $304 million over the 2021 enacted level – in the department's worker protection agencies. Over the past four years, the department's worker protection agencies lost approximately 14 percent of their staff, which limited the department's ability to perform inspections and conduct investigations. The proposal would enable the department to conduct the enforcement and regulatory work needed to protect workers' wages, health and safety, benefits and rights; and address the misclassification of workers as independent contractors.
Increases skill-building opportunities so workers can build a better future. To ensure future growth and prosperity, and ensure all workers – in all communities – have multiple pathways to high quality, good-paying jobs and access to the middle class, the discretionary request provides $3.7 billion – an additional $203 million over the 2021 enacted level – for Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act State Grants. These grants will make employment services and training available to more dislocated workers, low-income adults and disadvantaged youth hurt by the pandemic's economic fallout. The request seeks to develop pathways for diverse workers to access training and career opportunities by also investing in critical programs that serve disadvantaged groups including justice-involved individuals, at-risk youth and low-income veterans. The discretionary request also provides $285 million – a $100 million increase above the 2021 enacted level – to expand Registered Apprenticeship opportunities while increasing access for historically underrepresented groups, including people of color and women, and diversifying the industry sectors involved.
Improves access and equity in the unemployment insurance system. To address the inadequacies of states' administration of their unemployment insurance systems, namely the significant delays and obstacles that came to light amid the pandemic and that disproportionately affect workers of color, the discretionary request makes investments to ensure states can better handle higher volumes of claims and be better prepared for future crises. The proposal fully funds and updates the formula for determining the amount states receive to administer UI, the first comprehensive update in decades, allowing states to serve claimants more quickly and effectively. The discretionary request also includes a $100 million investment to support the development of information technology solutions that states can deploy to ensure timely and equitable access to benefits.
Supports worker training for new careers in clean energy. To support the reskilling and reemploying of displaced workers in Appalachian communities, the discretionary request includes a $100 million investment for the department's role in the new multi-agency POWER+ Initiative. This request will complement other targeted federal investments in POWER+ to assist workers and transform local economies in communities transitioning away from fossil fuel production. The discretionary request also provides $20 million for a new program, developed in collaboration with the Department of Veterans Affairs, which will help combat climate change while preparing veterans for good-paying jobs by focusing on helping veterans shift to careers in clean energy.
These discretionary investments reflect only one element of the President's broader agenda. In the coming months, the administration will release the President's Budget, which will present a unified, comprehensive plan to address the overlapping crises we face in a fiscally and economically responsible way.

Q: EXTJS Pivot Grid with json data I am new to EXTJS. Now im trying to develop simple pivot grid example. my code is:
  Ext.onReady(function () {
  var myStore = new Ext.data.ArrayStore({
    autoLoad: true,
    fields: ['gender',
        { name: 'birthDecade', type: 'int' },
        { name: 'peoples', type: 'int' }
    ],

    url: 'countries.json'
});
var pivotGrid = new Ext.grid.PivotGrid({
    title: 'Number of people born per decade',
    width: 600,
    height: 91,
    renderTo: 'docbody',
    store: myStore,
    aggregator: 'count',

    topAxis: [
        {
            width: 80,
            dataIndex: 'birthDecade'
        }
    ],
    leftAxis: [
        {

            dataIndex: 'gender'
        }
    ],

});

});
JSON DATA :
 [["Male","2010","1"],
 ["Female","1940","2"],
 ["Male","1960","3"],
 ["Female","1980","4"],
 ["Female","2000","5"],
 ["Male","2010","5"],
 ["Male","2030","6"],
 ["Female","1000","7"]]

And output is :

But i want to show data that i gave in json (3rd column.values-1,2,3,4,5,6,7). how to achieve it?.thanks in advance.

A: As u used count as aggregator its shows like that. in 2000 one female count is there . for same in 2010 two rows of male count there . So that it shows like that.
If u want to show some numbers in output u can use like this,
Ext.onReady(function () {
var myStore = new Ext.data.ArrayStore({
    autoLoad: true,
    fields: ['gender',
        { name: 'birthDecade', type: 'int' },
        { name: 'peoples', type: 'int' }
    ],

    url: 'countries.json'
});
var pivotGrid = new Ext.grid.PivotGrid({
    title: 'Number of people born per decade',
    width: 600,
    height: 91,
    renderTo: 'docbody',
    store: myStore,
    aggregator: 'sum',
    measure: 'peoples',

    topAxis: [
        {
            width: 80,
            dataIndex: 'birthDecade'
        }
    ],
    leftAxis: [
        {

            dataIndex: 'gender'
        }
    ],

Everyone knows it is raining apps, and you will find thousands of iPhone apps all around. The number will be more than enough to overwhelm you, and they just keep on coming. A new iPhone app has debuted that helps you park your car.
A few years ago, self-parking cars were being touted like they were one of the best things that happened to mankind.
But that became less and less, partly thanks to lawsuits and partly because of the fact that parking a car is not at all a hard skill to master.
But something cooler has come up. Valeo has introduced Park4U, an assisted-parking system. This system works by utilizing several distance-sensors and other components to help you squeeze your vehicle into even the tightest of parking spots. If the vehicle gets too close to an object, the sensors will detect it and the car will stop.
What is so different about this system? First of all, you will be able to park your car without touching the wheel. But the best thing is that the car can be parked without you in it.
As you might have guessed by now, the new parking system gets its own iPhone app. The Park4U app will let you park your car remotely.
But the app won't make you totally in control. You won't be able to steer the vehicle with it. With the app you can just remotely accelerate and apply the brakes, and the car has to be in the Assisted Parking mode for the app to work.
Park4U is currently available in several Volkswagen and Audi models, and reports also suggest that the technology is also available in late-model Ford and Lincoln vehicles. But there has been no announcement regarding the availability of the app. We expect it to launch sometime in the very near future.
For now, you can just check out the video to see the app in action. And don't forget to leave your comments in the box below. Do you think that the app will become popular? Or will it end in another lawsuit?


In Basic edition you can process 3 or 4 cameras video (6 cameras video also can be processed in Basic edition but export is denied in this case).
In Standard edition you can process up to 6 cameras video.
All old unlock keys are treated as Standard edition.
If you have some problems with license protection in new version, please contact with us by e-mail.


THIS IS WHERE WINNERS ARE MADE!
I recently visited the state of the art factory in Faaborg Denmark. It is a great seaside town on the southern coast of Fyn (Funen), which is the middle island of Denmark, just 2-3 hours from Copenhagen. It is so Danish… with it's gorgeous harbour, old yellow and white buildings all built together and overlooking cobblestone streets and walkways.
Here are a couple of pics from my trip. Enjoy…..
I can't show you the inner workings of the factory in too much detail, but needless to say, everyone there shares the same passion for excellence you have read about, and enjoys a state of the art facility.
That's Stig on the left, the Managing Director of Winner Optimist DK. His boats are sold in over 60 countries throughout the world.
Building sailboats in fiberglass is a fascinating process. It is a delicate balance of engineering, art and science. Like most things, the end product can be no better than the materials used to construct it. Moreover, in the case of fiberglass, the quality of the end product is inextricably linked to the environment in which it was built. Winner is the only temperature and humidity controlled factory dedicated solely to the manufacture of Optimists. A fiberglass boat can be no better than the factory it was built in.
Fiberglass boats start their lives as rolls of cloth and drums of liquid chemicals. The materials we begin with have little in common with the product that is produced, they are completely transformed. This is fundamentally different than most products. Consider a car, for example. We can recognise each of it's component parts as they enter the factory. It makes little difference where your car is assembled, whether the factory chose to heat at 50 degrees or 80 degrees, 5% humidity or 50%. The environmental fluctuations will not effect the quality of your car. This is not so with fiberglass. In a factory that produces fiberglass, every aspect of the environment must be considered and controlled. Most sailors, even most boat builders, overlook the fact that every fiberglass boat is literally being built at the molecular level.
No detail goes unnoticed at Winner. The factory is fitted with climate and dust control systems. We can't show you pictures inside the factory (our competition would love to see that) but, we can give some examples of what we do and why.
Winner Optimists are built in the most controlled environment possible. Because fiberglass boats start life as rolls of cloth and barrels of chemicals, the right climate is critical. Any fluctuations in temperature or humidity have startling effects on the chemical processes that transform buckets of resin and drops of catalyst into the structural components of boats. Try baking a cake at 200 degrees, or 300 degrees and you'll see what we mean.
Some things are obvious, like dust control. Obviously, you wouldn't want to paint your car next to someone who was grinding and sanding but, that's exactly what many boat builders do. They circulate the same dusty air from grinding room to spray booth to lay up with no sealed rooms and no dust scrubbers. Other things aren't so obvious. Take humidity for example. It may not seem important that a factory be at a specific humidity level but, in fact, it is critical. The effects of humidity fluctuations can most readily be seen in the finish quality of the gel coat. (the shiny, colorful outer layer of a fiberglass boat) If the humidity level drops, static electricity builds up and the moulds attract dust particles like magnets. (Especially if you're not controlling your dust). The dust is then trapped when the gel coat is sprayed and shows up as imperfections on the bottom and sides of the boat. If humidity rises, water vapour can be trapped and alter the chemistry of the gel coat, changing it's physical properties. So, finding the perfect balance and maintaining that level is an important and integral part of construction. Winner is the only Optimist builder in the world that actively controls it's factory's humidity levels.
Temperature control is also crucial but, difficult to achieve and often ignored. The fumes produced by fiberglass resin require that huge volumes of air be chemically scrubbed or constantly exchanged with the outside environment. So, most boat builders work in an essentially open environment, only heating and cooling to keep temperatures tolerable for employees. But this attempt to save money comes at the cost of quality.
Temperature affects the speed and intensity of the chemical reaction that transforms resin and catalyst into the solid matrix that forms the structure of a boat. This problem is compounded because the resin/catalyst reaction is exothermic (it produces heat) so, increased temperature causes an exponentially greater release of heat. Conversely, low temperatures cause the heat of the reaction to drop drastically. Both cause serious problems for the boat builder. If temperatures rise, the resin will start to thicken and solidify, making an even application impossible. Or, if the temperature drops, the resin may take a very long time to solidify and the resin may collect in pools and leave voids or soft spots. This is just one of many problems caused by temperature fluctuations. At Winner, we avoid all these problems with chemical scrubbers and a state of the art heating and cooling system. The advantages don't stop at quality either. Our dust and chemical scrubbers also protect the environment as well as the health or our employees.
Building an Optimist starts with a set of International Optimist Dinghy Association approved moulds. The quality and construction of these moulds is the first of many steps toward a great boat. If the moulds aren't perfect, the boat will never be right. To be perfect, the moulds need to be engineered from scratch, as they are at Winner. Some Optimist builders have taken shortcuts by "splashing" their moulds, essentially copying a finished boat rather than engineering it. This is a real problem because fiberglass boats shrink when they're built, this is compounded because a "splashed" mould will also shrink, doubling the problem. The result is boats that don't fit together properly and start their lives strained and forced together. When moulds are engineered and built to proper design specifications, shrinkage is factored in so that the moulds are flawless and the component parts of the boat fit properly.
The people who build Winner Optimists have been doing just that for over 25 years. Our Optimists were already winning world championships before most builders rolled out their first boat. This has given us the experience to observe what happens to boats in field and evolve our construction techniques to prevent problems.
These Winners are just resting………Shh!
