I'm trying to install ubports on my bq m10 fhd ubuntu edition.
But there are some issues.
I start the program and connect my m10 to the pc (working on a linux mint pc).
The system recognizes my M10 (it opens its directory), yet the installer is stuck on the "waiting for device" screen.
I checked out hat developer mode is on, anyway.
I try to select manually, and yet it waits for me to connect the device.
I ignore it and go on with the install button and he tells me to press volume and power button to reboot.
I do this but nothing happens anyway.

Q: avro schema timestamp format I am looking to get the timestamp in this format: MMDDYYYYHHMMSS
For avro schema format, can I use:
{
 "logicalType": "timestamp-millis"
 "type": "long",
 "date-format": "MMDDYYYYHHMMSS"
}

Or is there a better way to do this?

A: Based on your tag, it looks like you are using fastavro. By default, fastavro will decode a timestamp-millis into a datetime object. Given a datetime object, you can use the strftime function to convert it to the format you want.
If instead you wanted it to automatically decode to a string with the format you specified, you would need to patch the current decoder to do what you want. Here's an example script that would do that:
import io
from datetime import datetime

import fastavro
from fastavro import writer, reader

original_decoder = fastavro.read.LOGICAL_READERS["long-timestamp-millis"]

def decode_as_custom_string(data, *args):
    dt = original_decoder(data, *args)
    return dt.strftime("%m%d%Y%H%M%S")

fastavro.read.LOGICAL_READERS["long-timestamp-millis"] = decode_as_custom_string

writer_schema = fastavro.parse_schema({
    "type": "record",
    "name": "root",
    "fields": [
        {
            "name": "some_date",
            "type": [
                "null",
                {
                    "type": "long",
                    "logicalType": "timestamp-millis",
                },
            ],
        },
    ]
})

records = [
    {"some_date": datetime.now()}
]

bio = io.BytesIO()

writer(bio, writer_schema, records)

bio.seek(0)

FDA commissioner on vaping crisis: We 'should have acted sooner'
By Jacqueline Howard, CNN
Updated 9:31 AM EDT, Thu September 26, 2019
What are people vaping?
The federal government may be getting close to cracking down on e-cigarettes amid concerns about the risks of vaping.
The US Food and Drug Administration is expected to finalize its policy on flavored e-cigarettes and vaping products in the coming weeks, acting FDA Commissioner Dr. Ned Sharpless said Wednesday.
In response to questioning during a House subcommittee hearing on Wednesday, Sharpless said that in retrospect the FDA "should have acted sooner" to avoid the vaping crisis.
"We should have begun regulating these devices sooner," he said. "But we're going to catch up."
Vaping an epidemic in US high schools
The FDA policy as it has been described would require all flavors other than tobacco to be taken off the market and then get "premarket authorization" before attempting to return to the market.
"This policy would prioritize FDA's enforcement of premarket authorization requirements for non-tobacco flavors," Sharpless said in his prepared remarks for testimony before the House subcommittee.
"FDA intends to enforce existing law that limits the marketing of such products," he said. "This policy would not mean that flavored e-cigarettes could never be marketed. If a company can show through an application to FDA that a specific product meets the standard set forth by Congress, then the FDA would authorize that ENDS product for sale."
E-cigarettes are sometimes referred to as ENDS, short for electronic nicotine delivery systems. Consuming them is generally known as vaping, and flavored varieties are seen as the kind most appealing to young people.

Trump administration moves to ban flavored e-cigarettes
Earlier this month, President Donald Trump announced that the FDA would put out "some very strong recommendations" regarding the use of flavored e-cigarettes. During that same announcement, US Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar said that enforcement policy would require flavored e-cigarette companies to take their products off the market.
"It'll take several weeks for us to put out the final guidance that will announce all the parameters around the enforcement policy, and then there will likely be about a 30-day delay to effective date, as is customary," Azar said at the time. But "at that point all flavored e-cigarettes other than tobacco flavor would have to be removed from the market."
By May 20, 2020, he said, e-cigarette companies making tobacco-flavored products would have the chance to file for approval by the FDA. At that time, flavored-product manufacturers would also have the opportunity to file, but their products would be off the market until approved.
'An epidemic that's really in the making'
The United States currently faces a multi-state outbreak of lung injuries associated with vaping, which is under investigation by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the FDA.

After vaping-related illness, teen now has lungs like 'a 70-year-old's'
Dr. Anne Schuchat, principal deputy director of the CDC, said during Wednesday's hearing that new cases are being confirmed daily and that the agency expects the number of vaping-related illnesses reported this week to be "hundreds higher" than last week.
The CDC is expected to update the number of illnesses on Thursday. There have been 530 confirmed and probable cases of lung injury related to e-cigarettes as of September 17, the CDC said.
There also have been nine known deaths related to vaping – two in California, two in Kansas, and one each in Illinois, Indiana, Minnesota, Missouri and Oregon.
Dr. Lee Norman, secretary of the Kansas Department of Health and Environment, testified in Wednesday's hearing and called these injuries and deaths "just the tip of an iceberg."
"What we're seeing is an epidemic that's really in the making," he said in a phone interview with CNN following the hearing. "We support the Trump administration's plan to remove flavored vape solutions and we think that that's a good first start."
On Wednesday, Rhode Island Gov. Gina M. Raimondo signed an executive order directing the state's health department to establish "emergency regulations" forbidding the sale of flavored vaping products.
Massachusetts to temporarily ban the sale of e-cigarettes and vaping products
On Tuesday, Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker called for a temporary four-month ban on the sale of all e-cigarettes and vaping products in his state in response to the outbreak. That same day the Los Angeles Board of Supervisors voted unanimously to ban flavored e-cigarettes.
Earlier this month, Michigan banned the sale of flavored e-cigarettes and New York banned most flavored e-cigarettes. In June, San Francisco became the first US city to effectively ban all e-cigarette sales.
Opinions about whether flavored e-cigarette products should be taken off the market have seemed to shift among medical professionals who work directly with adults who are smokers or former smokers, said Dr. Peter Shields, a thoracic oncologist at the Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center in Columbus.
That shift has been toward issuing some type of regulation.
Striking a balance
Tobacco use is the leading cause of preventable disease, disability and death in the United States, according to the CDC. Nearly 40 million adults in the United States still smoke cigarettes, and some might be interested in turning to e-cigarette products as a way to quit, even though e-cigarettes are not approved by the FDA as a smoking cessation tool.
Meanwhile, there has been a rise in young people using e-cigarettes.

"The question is: How do you figure out this balance of how many kids might get addicted to nicotine and not smoke versus how many smokers you get to quit?" Shields said, adding that the research remains unclear on whether e-cigarettes are effective for helping smokers quit.
"With what's going on with kids and holding on to this concept that we have to protect smokers at all costs – and that includes not banning flavors – at least in my mind, there's been a shift," he said.
In Shields' opinion, "it's probably prudent to ban the flavors," he said. "It may make it harder to increase the number of people quitting, but as long as we have tobacco flavor or tobacco with menthol still on the market, at least that will mimic what they're doing so we'll at least get smokers to try an alternative for something they're used to. That's my own personal view."

I have a problem with the client side TraceRay() in existing weapons ClientSide_HandlePrimaryFireEvent() methods, they do not return the same information as the TraceRay in the ServerSide_Think(). I do see it work very very intermittently. I began wondering why when I fire at a CompanyBot, it appears to miss and show the miss particle on the wall. Since the CompanyBot can take damage, I'm assuming it should also be able to be hit on the client side. If that is wrong, I'll stop doing that... Do I need to kick the PhysicsWorld or something?
Using r531, when I set convar sv_AutoAddCompanyBot = true, start map Kidney and pick up the 9mm AR, then when I fire at the company bot, it clearly is hit and receives damage at the server side, but it is not hit at the client: the particle effect is shown at the nearby wall instead.
This seems to be a problem with updating the physics world on the client side, but unfortunately I've not been able to figure out its cause yet.
I've filed ticket #117 in order to make sure to not forget this. Currently, I'm working on #113, which I believe has not triggered this problem, but the related changes will also imply a rewrite of the code that updates the client-side physics world, and so I'll probably look into #117 during my work at #113.


Waterjet cutting equipment is well-known for its prowess in cutting rigid materials, but it has yet to become an equipment staple when cutting soft materials. In fact, there are many advantages of using water-only waterjets to cut materials like foam, rubber, insulation and paper versus the traditional cutting methods of shearing, die cutting or hot wire cutting. Kewell Converters Ltd (KCL) owns 3 water-only waterjet machines—all with two (dual) heads per machine at their modern production facility under 1 roof along side x3 Multi head CNC Routing machines and many other foam converting/fabricating machines.
Ability to use common cut lines – When cutting with water-only, the stream of high pressure water is very narrow which results in a very small kerf. As a result, multiple shapes on a sheet can be cut with shared edges to save production time and material.
Increased production speeds – Water-only waterjets are designed using lighter, faster drive systems.
Ability to stack material – allows operators the ability to stack material prior to waterjet cutting. There is less of a difference in cut from top to bottom with a waterjet because there is no compression of material like there is in other methods like die cutting.
Excellent for prototyping – Water-only waterjet cutting allows operators to prototype a part easily and quickly. In a matter of minutes, you can go from a drawing to a CNC file to cut a part without expensive dies or complex methods. This allows for changes to an existing cutting process without paying for expensive dies or machine changes.
Flexible tooling system – Many traditional methods of cutting harder durometer materials all the way to spongy, soft materials are only capable of simple cuts. For complex shapes, dies are often purchased but they are expensive and not easily modified. Water-only waterjets are a versatile cutting solution that does not require any added tooling costs to produce parts.
Does not affect the intrinsic properties of the material – One of the most important advantages of waterjet cutting is that there is no heat affected zone (HAZ) commonly found in hot wire cutting. Additionally, there are waterjet cutting methods that will minimize the wetting of materials while it is being cut.

Posted on December 9, 2014 by Adrian Hon
There's an article by Maggie Brown today suggesting the Arts Council/BBC-backed 'online gallery' The Space is, effectively, a waste of £16 million of public money. Here's what The Space does:
The Space is an online gallery where visitors can explore exciting new digital art, made by the most talented contemporary artists, shared around the world. We commission new talent and established artists from all art forms, as well as across the creative industries, and technical and digital worlds, through open calls and partnerships.
I have been frustrated by The Space for some time. I am all for the public funding of art, and in particular, digital art, and £16 million can go a long way. But right from the start, there were warning signs. For example, the first round of project proposals had to adhere to strict data formats; if you had video, it had to be in a particular format so it could be imported to their online portal, which would be viewable on phones, tablets, computers, TVs, etc.
Sounds sensible, right? Doesn't it make sense to have a single website for 51 projects instead of 51 websites all being made separately (and expensively)? The answer is, hell no:
a) If you're going to fund exciting new digital art, one might expect it to come in many different forms; forms that are going to be difficult to fit into even the most flexible template. So why force them?
b) Even if everything was video, why not just put it all on YouTube? It's free, it works, it's better for discovery, and it helps build your social media following.
Now, to be fair, many of the projects weren't merely video or audio-based. One of the most popular projects was the radio broadcaster John Peel's Record Archive. It's an interesting website which does what it says on the tin; put pictures of his archive online. I don't quite see how it qualifies as 'digital art' though, and it has dreadful navigation and accessibility issues (the note cards for each record do not appear to have any readable or alt text, for example).
Another project was Will Self's 'digital essay', Kafka's Wound, published by the London Review of Books. It is an excellent piece of writing. The digital part, however, is laughably bad. The first thing you see on the website is 'visual index', a network of circular pictures that link to bits of video, audio, and additional material embedded within the essay. What is it for? Are people meant to use it before the read the essay, without any context? Or should they use it afterwards, even though it has no labels and after the reader has presumably already read the material they were interested in, along the way?
The embedded media is a mixed bag. Some of it is very relevant, other bits (particularly the music) appear to there simply to make up the numbers. Worse, the embedded media is hidden behind cryptically-labelled buttons to the right of the essay. You have no idea what you're going to get. It's very disruptive to the process of, you know, reading.
I don't mean to pick on the essay – like I said, it's very good. But it is not, by any stretch of the imagination, 'digital art'. And this is one of the better projects The Space has funded.
Now, you can expect missteps in the first year of a new organisation like The Space. In fact, you might even welcome them — but only if it looks like the organisation is learning. Sadly, an independent report by MTM, commissioned by the Arts Council and the BBC to evaluate The Space, pulled all the punches it could.
One major problem with the report lies in the people they approached to evaluate the projects. Said one arts organisation of the Will Self essay:
A completely different approach to how you experience an essay – you can interact with it and create your own navigation.
No. No. No. A thousand times, no. Anyone who genuinely believes this has no place in evaluating any kind of digital art. Another person said:
It's such an interesting approach – it feels really new and inventive.
Really? Had this person never seen an essay online with embedded video and audio?
Or, on John Peel's Record Collection:
It's a wonderful archive, and it's interactive – audiences can play and explore.
It's a sad, sad day when 'clicking through an archive' equals interactive. If that's the bar we're setting, I despair. Once again, it's not that I think the archive is bad – it's that I think it's not technically or artistically innovative, and so it's not deserving of being funded by a body specifically created to fund 'exciting new digital art'.
The audience figures were also, in my view, disappointing. Between May and October 2012, The Space attracted a million visits from 630,000 unique users. Now, a million sounds like a lot. But is it, really? Consider that £3.5 million was invested in 51 commissions. That means they're paying £5.56 for each user; and who knows what the average visit time on each website was.
When you look at the audience breakdown, it becomes clear that only six of the 51 commissions attracted more than 10,000 unique users. My blog gets 3000 unique users per month. In other words, it's very likely that my blog outperformed over 80% of all commissions by The Space in terms of audience numbers. That is awful. It's not even a very good blog.
I could go on, but the whole enterprise just depresses me. I was recently interviewed about the possibility of the public funding of 'art games' (my words, not theirs) in the UK. Such a thing would be tricky, but also extremely exciting. I conjured up visions of the bounty we could expect for a mere £100,000 or £200,000 — and just imagine how many projects and how many artists could be funded with a massive £1 million! Think of the amazing Twine games, the hard-hitting Papers Pleases, the touching That Dragon, Cancers that could realised — with popular projects easily able to command hundreds of thousands of visitors each, if not millions.
And then to discover that £3.5 million was spent on these commissions, and another £16 million recently. It is a disgrace that we are spending so much money and getting so little, when we are missing the incredible opportunities that genuine digital art — not just games, but at least including games — offers.
Why have so few people spoken out about The Space? Because it's funded by the Arts Council and the BBC. Here's a quote from Maggie Brown's article:
…I consulted a digital arts expert, who would speak only off the record. "It's strange," he said. "All that money thrown at it, and it's bloody awful, very undercooked."
He'd only speak off the record. We're not talking about the CIA here, for fuck's sake – but I don't blame him for being worried about his career. If you're an artist, who wants to make an enemy of the BBC or the Arts Council?

871 F. 2d 265 - United States v. Charleus
871 F2d 265 United States v. Charleus
57 USLW 2584
UNITED STATES of America, Appellee,
Jean Eddy CHARLEUS and Jean Michel Louis, Defendants,
Jean Eddy Charleus, appellant.
Argued Feb. 14, 1989.
Decided March 23, 1989.
Jack Wenik, Asst. U.S. Atty., Brooklyn, N.Y. (Andrew J. Maloney, U.S. Atty., and John Gleeson, Asst. U.S. Atty., on the brief) for appellee.
John M. Apicella, Brooklyn, N.Y. (Salvatore S. Russo, on the brief) for appellant.
Before TIMBERS, PIERCE, and MINER, Circuit Judges.
TIMBERS, Circuit Judge:
Jean Eddy Charleus ("appellant") appeals from a judgment of conviction entered June 8, 1988 in the Eastern District of New York, Edward R. Korman, District Judge, upon a jury verdict of guilty on charges of conspiracy to import, importation of, and possession with intent to distribute in excess of 500 grams of a substance containing cocaine, a Schedule II controlled substance, in violation of 21 U.S.C. Secs. 963, 952(a), and 841(a)(1) (1982 & Supp. IV 1986). A pretrial motion to suppress the evidence seized during a border search of appellant and his companion was denied by I. Leo Glasser, District Judge. Appellant was sentenced to three concurrent five year terms of imprisonment, to be followed by a total of four years of supervised release.
On appeal from his judgment of conviction, appellant contends that (a) the cocaine evidence should have been suppressed because there was no reasonable suspicion to justify the search and seizure; (b) he was sentenced improperly; and (c) appellant's defense of duress was established as a matter of law. The government contends that (a) the customs search was a proper routine border search, or, alternatively, it was supported by reasonable suspicion; (b) appellant was sentenced properly; and (c) the jury properly rejected the defense of duress.
For the reasons set forth below, we affirm the judgment of conviction and the sentence imposed thereon.
We set forth only those facts believed necessary to an understanding of the issues raised on appeal.
On November 3, 1987, appellant and his male companion, Jean Michel Louis ("Louis"), arrived at JFK International Airport in New York aboard American Airlines Flight 658 from Port-Au-Prince, Haiti. As the passengers were disembarking, United States Customs Inspector Stanley Moculeski ("Moculeski"), who was in uniform, noticed appellant and Louis deplaning together. Moculeski noticed that when Louis saw him in full uniform, Louis became startled and nervous, and hesitated before entering the jetway. When Moculeski saw Louis' reaction, he approached him and touched him on the back with his left hand. Moculeski immediately felt a hard lump under Louis' clothing and, after taking him to the side of the jetway and lifting up the back of his shirt, discovered packages tightly taped around Louis' back and waist containing what later was determined to be cocaine. Louis was then placed under arrest.
After recalling that Louis had been accompanied by appellant, Moculeski proceeded down the jetway to look for him. Moculeski caught up with appellant as he was on his way into the immigration check-in area. Moculeski identified himself as a United States Customs Inspector. He put his hand on appellant's back and felt a hard lump similar to the one he had felt on Louis. He had appellant stand facing a wall, lifted up the back of his shirt, and discovered packages tightly taped around appellant's back and waist containing what later was determined to be cocaine. Appellant was then placed under arrest.
Louis and appellant were taken to a small room to the side of the jetway. Moculeski informed them of their rights. He then seized the packages of cocaine taped to their bodies and various documents in their possession. The total cocaine seized approximated 6 1/2 pounds. With the consent of Louis and appellant, a controlled delivery later was attempted but it was unsuccessful.
Louis and appellant were charged in a three count indictment returned November 19, 1987 with the narcotics offenses stated in the first paragraph of this opinion. At a hearing held on January 5, 1988, Judge Glasser denied a motion to suppress the evidence seized at the airport, including the cocaine, holding that the customs inspector had conducted a proper border search. Appellant was convicted on the three counts of the indictment following a jury trial before Judge Korman and was sentenced as stated above.1 This appeal followed.
For the reasons set forth below, we affirm.
The Supreme Court has made it clear that border searches are subject to standards different from those applicable to other searches:
"[S]earches made at the border, pursuant to the long-standing right of the sovereign to protect itself by stopping and examining persons and property crossing into this country, are reasonable simply by virtue of the fact that they occur at the border...."
United States v. Ramsey, 431 U.S. 606, 616 (1977); see also United States v. Montoya de Hernandez, 473 U.S. 531, 538 (1985) ("Routine searches of the persons and effects of [border] entrants are not subject to any requirement of reasonable suspicion, probable cause, or warrant....").
We accordingly have held that routine border searches of the personal belongings and effects of entrants may be conducted without regard to probable cause or even reasonable suspicion. United States v. Ogberaha, 771 F.2d 655, 657 (2 Cir.1985), cert. denied, 474 U.S. 1103 (1986); United States v. Grotke, 702 F.2d 49, 51 (2 Cir.1983). Personal belongings and effects have been defined as including outer clothing and the contents of purses, wallets, or pockets. Grotke, supra, 702 F.2d at 51; United States v. Nieves, 609 F.2d 642, 646 (2 Cir.1979), cert. denied, 444 U.S. 1085 (1980); United States ed States v. Asbury, 586 F.2d 973, 975 n. 2 (2 Cir.1978). More intrusive border searches of the person such as body cavities searches or strip searches, however, require at a minimum reasonable suspicion of criminal activity. Ogberaha, supra, 771 F.2d at 658-60 (body cavity search); United States v. Sanders, 663 F.2d 1, 3 (2 Cir.1981) (artificial leg).
In the instant case, it is undisputed that the search was conducted at the border. United States v. Luc-Thirion, 501 F.Supp. 875, 879 (E.D.N.Y.1980) (search conducted close to the customs inspection belt and in the JFK International Arrivals Building was at the "border"). Reasonable suspicion therefore was not required before the customs inspector could search Louis' and appellant's clothing and belongings; yet it was required before a more intrusive search of their person could be conducted.
The light touching of appellant's back followed by a lifting of his shirt arguably straddles the line between the two categories of border searches--searching more than personal belongings or effects such as a purse, wallet, or even outer jacket was involved; but the search was not nearly as intrusive as a body cavity or full strip search.
We believe that a close examination of the case law in this Circuit and elsewhere indicates that the search here in question may be characterized correctly as a routine border search not requiring reasonable suspicion. Grotke, supra, 702 F.2d at 51-52 (patdown followed by removal of shoes held " 'minimally intrusive' " routine border search, quoting Nieves, supra, 609 F.2d at 646); United States v. Moody, 649 F.2d 124, 126-27 (2 Cir.1981) (border "patdown" followed by request that defendant pull down girdle in private room did not necessarily require reasonable suspicion); Luc-Thirion, supra, 501 F.Supp. at 878-79 (removal of jacket and patdown of border entrant did not require reasonable suspicion); see also United States v. Braks, 842 F.2d 509, 512-15 (1 Cir.1988) (lifting up of skirt by defendant in private room revealing bulge of drugs in girdle, held part of routine border search and did not necessarily require any degree of suspicion); United States v. Oyekan, 786 F.2d 832, 835 (8 Cir.1986) (initial patdown followed by search of defendants' luggage and purses held routine border search); cf. United States v. Fitzgibbon, 576 F.2d 279, 281, 284 (10 Cir.) (patdown followed by request that defendant remove boot not equivalent to "strip search"), cert. denied, 439 U.S. 910 (1978).
We have held that "[n]ot every request that a person remove an article of clothing or remove objects from an article of clothing will result in the automatic transformation of a routine search of belongings and effects into a strip search". Nieves, supra, 609 F.2d at 646. Since the potential indignity resulting from a pat on the back followed by a lifting of one's shirt simply fails to compare with the much greater level of intrusion associated with a body cavity or full strip search, we decline to hold that reasonable suspicion was here required.2
Even if we were to assume arguendo that the search here involved was not a routine border search, application of the "reasonable suspicion" standard would result in the search nonetheless being held valid. In determining whether there is reasonable suspicion, we have weighed a number of factors, including excessive nervousness of the suspect, whether the suspect's flight originated at a known source of drugs, the nature of the suspect's clothing, and the discovery of incriminating material during a routine search. Asbury, supra, 586 F.2d at 976-77; see also Ogberaha, supra, 771 F.2d at 658-59.
Here, Moculeski knew that appellant and Louis had flown from Haiti--a well-known source or trans-shipment point for narcotics--on a flight that was notorious for cocaine smuggling. He had observed loose-fitting and bulky clothing on both suspects, and had observed the nervous demeanor of Louis. Moculeski was an experienced customs inspector who, at the time of appellant's arrest, had had 11 years of experience in detecting illegal drug traffickers. See Ogberaha, supra, 771 F.2d at 659. Not only was the initial "pat" on the back justified, but the discovery of a protrusion underneath the shirt clearly gave rise to reasonable suspicion to justify lifting up the shirt. United States v. Klein, 592 F.2d 909, 911-12 & n. 6 (5 Cir.1979) (routine patdown which revealed unusual protrusion under shirt followed by removal of shirt held reasonable border search); Luc-Thirion, supra, 501 F.Supp. at 879 (same). The fact that Louis was searched before appellant and that appellant himself was not nervous does not change the result, since the fact that the two had exited the plane together provided sufficient cause to suspect that they might both be involved in the same drug operation. Nieves, supra, 609 F.2d at 647; Asbury, supra, 586 F.2d at 977.
We hold that the patdown border search of appellant passes constitutional muster under the Fourth Amendment.
We turn next to appellant's claim that his sentence is invalid because it was imposed pursuant to the wrong statute. Appellant was sentenced pursuant to the Sentencing Reform Act of 1984, Pub.L. No. 98-473, 98 Stat. 1987 ("SRA"). He argues that this was improper because (1) the penalty provisions of the SRA were not intended to apply until December 7, 1987, the effective date of the Sentencing Act of 1987, Pub.L. No. 100-182, 101 Stat. 1266 ("1987 Act"); and (2) the SRA is unconstitutional. We find no merit in either argument.
While the 1987 Act states that the provisions of the SRA are not applicable to crimes committed before November 1, 1987, in interpreting the SRA and the 1987 Act, we have recognized that the SRA is applicable to offenses committed on or after November 1, 1987. United States v. Argitakos, 862 F.2d 423, 424-25 (2 Cir.1988) (per curiam); see also President's Statement on Signing the Sentencing Act of 1987 Into Law, 23 Weekly Comp. Pres. Doc. 1452, 1453 (Dec. 7, 1987), reprinted in 1987 U.S.Code Cong. & Admin.News 2135. Since appellant's offense took place on November 3, 1987, he properly was sentenced pursuant to the SRA. The effective date of the 1987 Act therefore has no bearing on the imposition of appellant's sentence.
As the government correctly states, even if the SRA were inapplicable to appellant, he would have received the same sentences under Secs. 1002 and 1302 of the Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1986, Pub.L. No. 99-570, 100 Stat. 3207, which require five year minimum sentences on convictions such as those here involved.
Appellant's claim that the SRA violates the separation of powers doctrine is unavailing in view of the Supreme Court's recent rejection of that very claim. Mistretta v. United States, 109 S.Ct. 647 (1989).
We hold that appellant was sentenced properly under the SRA which does not violate the Constitution's requirement of the separation of powers.
At trial, appellant adduced evidence in support of his defense of duress that he had been forced to carry the cocaine into the United States by a Haitian acquaintance who had threatened him and his family with harm if he did not cooperate and that he had not contacted the Haitian police because they are corrupt. After hearing this evidence and after being instructed on the elements of duress, the jury rejected the defense.
Appellant argues that he established the defense as a matter of law, citing United States v. Contento-Pachon, 723 F.2d 691 (9 Cir.1984). Contento-Pachon is inapposite, however, since the court there merely held that it was error for the district court to have excluded from the jury the defendant's presentation of evidence in support of his defense of duress. Id. at 695.
In the instant case the district court did receive the alleged defense evidence. The jury heard the evidence, assessed the credibility of the witnesses, chiefly appellant, and found the facts against appellant's claim. The verdict rendered indicates that, as was their prerogative, the jury simply chose not to credit the testimony adduced by appellant. On appeal, appellant in effect argues that the verdict was against the weight of the evidence. We disagree. Furthermore, since appellant declined to pursue "a reasonable, legal alternative to violating the law", i.e., surrendering to Moculeski, his defense fails as a matter of law. United States v. Bailey, 444 U.S. 394, 410 (1980); see United States v. Alicea, 837 F.2d 103, 106-07 (2 Cir.), cert. denied, 109 S.Ct. 88 (1988); United States v. Agard, 605 F.2d 665, 667 (2 Cir.1979).
We hold that the jury's rejection of the defense of duress was not error.
The search of appellant passes constitutional muster, his sentence was proper, and the jury's rejection of his defense of duress was not error.
Louis pled guilty on January 4, 1988 to a charge of importation of cocaine set forth in a superseding information. He later was sentenced by Judge Glasser to a 41-month term of imprisonment followed by three years of supervised release
A week after oral argument in the instant case, the New York Court of Appeals held that "some" suspicion of criminal activity is required before a patdown border search can be conducted. People v. Luna, 73 N.Y.2d 173, 179, 535 N.E.2d 1305, 1309, 538 N.Y.S.2d 765, 769 (1989). The court held that, since a full patdown is more intrusive than a search of luggage or other belongings yet less intrusive than a body cavity or full strip search, an intermediate level of suspicion between no suspicion at all and reasonable suspicion is required. The court, applying its newly fashioned standard of "real" suspicion based upon "legitimate factors", concluded that the border patdown there involved passed constitutional muster. Id. at 177-80, 535 N.E.2d at 1308-09, 538 N.Y.S.2d at 768-69
We are not persuaded by this new standard which appears to have been fashioned in contravention of the Supreme Court's express warning in Montoya against the development of multiple gradations of suspicion to be applied to different types of border searches:
"We do not think that the Fourth Amendment's emphasis upon reasonableness is consistent with the creation of a third verbal standard in addition to 'reasonable suspicion' and 'probable cause'; we are dealing with a constitutional requirement of reasonableness, not mens rea, and subtle verbal gradations may obscure rather than elucidate the meaning of the provision in question".
Montoya, supra, 473 U.S. at 541 (citation omitted); see also Ogberaha, supra, 771 F.2d at 658 (rejecting intermediate levels of suspicion for conducting strip searches in light of Montoya ); cf. Luna, supra, at 181, 535 N.E.2d at 1310, 538 N.Y.S.2d at 770 (Bellacosa, J., concurring) (rejecting the majority's "new low level suspicion standard" as one which improperly "dilutes the potency" of existing standards under the Fourth Amendment).
In our view, the Supreme Court's warning in Montoya applies equally to the creation of new standards based on levels of suspicion between "no suspicion" and "reasonable suspicion". While the Court has not set forth precisely what constitutes a routine border search, it has made clear that border searches fall into two classes: routine border searches which require no suspicion at all and intrusive non-routine border searches which require at a minimum reasonable suspicion.
The limited patdown in the instant case may be categorized correctly as a routine border search requiring no level of suspicion at all. In any event, assuming a "reasonable suspicion" or even Luna's "some" suspicion standard were applicable here, the search of appellant nonetheless passes muster.

Rezolucija Vijeća sigurnosti Organizacije ujedinjenih naroda 998 usvojena je 16. lipnja 1995. godine, radi osnivanja međunarodnih snaga jačine 12.500 ljudi koji bi su trebali biti razmješteni u Bosni i Hercegovini. Iz teksta rezolucije se dade razumjeti da je osnivanje ovih snaga bilo nastavak razmještanja UNPROFOR-a, jer se u tekstu same rezolucije izrijekom spominje Rezolucija Vijeća sigurnosti Organizacije ujedinjenih naroda 982 od 31. ožujka 1995. god., kojom je produžen mandat UNPROFOR-a na području BiH i Republike Hrvatske - ali se zapravo ne da razlučiti koji je stvarni cilj raspoređivanja tih znatnih dodatnih međunarodnih snaga.

Kontroverze
Joško Buljan, novinar i bivši časnik hrvatske vojne obavještajne službe angažiran u Središnjici elektroničkog izviđanja Ministarstva obrane Republike Hrvatske objavljuje 2013. godine članak u kojem, na temelju saznanja iz ondašnjeg angažmana na obavještajnim poslovima, iznosi prosudbu da su te snage trebale biti raspoređene po linijama koje provedbom Operacije Vaganj 95 uspiju zauzeti vojne snage bosanskih i hrvatskih Srba. To se zaključuje jer su britanske i francuske snage iskrcane s brodova uz objašnjenja da će biti korištene radi zaštite bošnjačkih civila na području Srebrenice Žepe, Goražda, Bihaća i drugdje - ali su začudo bile raspoređene na području Tomislavgrada (tj. na području gdje je, kako se kasnije saznalo, trebalo biti težište djelovanja srpskih snaga u Operaciji Vaganj 95) i najavile da će prijeći i na područje Republike Hrvatske. Znakovito je da te snage - čiji su časnici tvrdili da su došli braniti, među ostalim, Srebrenicu - uopće nisu reagirale u vrijeme dok se događao Genocid u Srebrenici 13. – 19. srpnja 1995. godine.

J. Buljan zaključuje da su vodstva Republike Hrvatske i BiH pravovremenim djelovanjem na diplomatskom polju, te pokretanjem Operacije Oluja 4. kolovoza 1995. god. i kasnijih zajedničkih vojnih akcija na teritoriju BiH - koje su slomile snage pobunjenih Srba u Hrvatskoj, te do sredine listopada 1995. godine dovele postrojbe Hrvatske vojske nadomak Banja Luke, što je početkom studenog iste godine rezultiralo mirovnim pregovorima u Daytonu - spriječile takvu uporabu međunarodnih snaga, koje bi možda poslije onemogućilo uspostavu kontrole legalnih vlasti Republike Hrvatske na cjelokupnom svojem području, kao i uspostavu legalne vlasti BiH na cijelom području te države.

Kraj UNPROFOR-a i dolazak američkih vojnih snaga u Bosnu i Hercegovinu
Pobjedničkim vojnim akcijama Hrvatske vojske i Armije BiH u drugoj polovini 1995. godine bitno je promijenjena sigurnosna i politička situacija na terenu, što je rezultiralo sklapanjem Daytonskog sporazuma i priznanjem neovisnosti Bosne i Hercegovine od strane Savezne Republike Jugoslavije (tj. od strane Crne Gore i Srbije). Radi implementacije toga ugovora u BiH dolazi umjesto UNPROFOR-a nova vojna snaga IFOR, gdje su Ujedinjeni narodi odgovornost za nadzor mira povjerili NATO-paktu. Tako u BiH po prvi put dolaze i američke snage, što je sagledano kao najveće jamstvo trajnog mira. Na području oko Tuzle je raspoređena američka 1. oklopna divizija.

David's type of work can be described as modern, figurative, narrative, abstract, tribal, surreal, geometric and contemporary. With a focus on public art, David's work ranges from large-scale interior and exterior murals painted directly to existing surfaces, on panels, cloth and canvas and also mosaic. His art is culturally diverse inspired by tradition, history, nature, balance and everyday life. David creates his art using a technique he has developed involving unconscious emotions, deep energies and personal visions. This process of creating allows him to transcend time and tell stories of the past, present and future.
David began his journey as an artist from the day he was given life. Through self-meditation and creative exploration he developed his own style and techniques in painting and sculpture. Through these techniques he can explore many aspects of life including, spirituality, science, history, tradition and nature as well as honors his ancestors, friends, family and my community. The purpose of David's art is not only for visual beauty but also for visual education. He creates it to enlighten the mind, body and soul of the viewer. Through these expressions I am able to explore his own past, rich in tradition, art, music, and dance. David expresses current events happening in his life, his community and around the world. David's art is constantly changing and moving in new directions paralleled by the energy of life that surrounds him.

← Tigrero: A Film That Was Never Made
Don Juan Demarco →
The first feature (1988) of the quirky, original, and subversive Australian writer-director Ann Turner, whose Dallas Doll was one of the best and weirdest independent efforts of its year. Celia isn't quite as good, but it tells a fascinating and disquieting story, set in 1957 Melbourne, about the effects of anticommunism and a rabbit plague on the nine-year-old girl of the title. Her grandmother, who dies just before the film begins, had been a member of the Australian Communist Party, as are the parents of the children who live next door, with whom Celia forms a blood pact. Her father and uncle's intolerance of communists is elaborately cross-referenced with local fears about proliferating rabbits, which have dire consequences for Celia when she acquires a pet bunny; her forms of rebellion escalate to voodoo rites and ultimately murder. The storytelling isn't as streamlined as one might wish, but the performance of Rebecca Smart as Celia and Turner's passionate viewpoint make this both arresting and distinctive. With Nicholas Eadie, Maryanne Fahey, Victoria Longley, and William Zappa. (JR)

Angiogenesis is essential for the pathophysiological processes of embryogenesis, tissue growth, diabetic retinopathy, psoriasis, wound healing, rheumatoid arthritis, cardiovascular diseases, and tumor growth. Inhibition of angiogenesis represents an attractive therapeutic approach for the treatment of angiogenic diseases such as cancer. However, uncontrolled angiogenesis is also necessary for tumor development and metastasis. Inhibition of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) signaling, a critical factor in the induction of angiogenesis, cause robust and rapid changes in blood vessels of tumors and therefore VEGF constitutes a target for such anti-angiogenic therapy. Recently, since natural compounds pose significantly less risk of deleterious side effects than synthetic compounds, a great many natural resources have been assessed for useful substance for anti-angiogenic treatment. Here we evaluated the anti-angiogenic effects of a hot water extract of Scutellaria baicalensis (SBHWE) using in vitro assays and ex vivo animal experiments. Our results show that SBHWE dose-dependently abrogated vascular endothelial responses by inhibiting VEGF-stimulated migration and invasion as well as tube formation in a human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC) model, without cytotoxicity, as determined by a cell viability assay. Further study revealed that SBHWE prevented VEGF-induced neo-vascularization in a rat aortic ring sprouting model. Taken together, our findings reveal an anti-angiogenic activity of Scutellaria baicalensis and suggest that SBHWE is a novel candidate inhibitor of VEGF-induced angiogenesis.

Bankruptcy and Family Law
Bankruptcy lawyers and family lawyers deal primarily with two different and distinct pieces of legislation. Bankruptcy lawyers deal with the Bankruptcy Act 1966 ("BA"), while family lawyers refer to the Family Law Act 1975 ("FLA").
The introduction of the Bankruptcy and Family Law Legislation Amendment Act 2005 ("BFLAA") substantially changed the landscape in respect to bankruptcy and family law. The BFLAA gave the Family Court jurisdiction to deal with matters relating to a bankrupt's property and a bankrupt spouse in circumstances in which previously the Family Court's role was limited once a party became bankrupt.
The BFLAA permitted concurrent bankruptcy and family law proceedings to be brought together in the Family Court to ensure that all the issues are dealt with at the same time. The BFLAA allows clarification of the competing rights and interests of the creditors and the non-bankrupt spouse where bankruptcy and family law issues co-exist.
The BFLAA gives the Family Court power if there were property proceedings on foot to make Orders about property which had vested in the trustee in bankruptcy.
Bankruptcy disputes between married and de facto couples are now dealt with under the Family Law Act. A non-bankrupt spouse or de facto can make a claim in the Family Court for property vested in the trustee in bankruptcy. However, before doing so, the bankrupt will need to join the trustee in bankruptcy to the proceedings or have the trustee's permission to apply to the Court.
What property is protected?
The Bankruptcy Act provides that property owned by the bankrupt vests in the trustee in bankruptcy. However, superannuation, some household goods, motor vehicles to a value of $6,850 and tools of trade of $3,400 cannot be clawed back. Payments made to a superannuation fund in order to defeat creditors can be clawed back.
Claw back provisions
Transfer of property made by a bankrupt spouse to a non-bankrupt spouse to defeat creditors can be clawed back for the period from 6 months prior to the bankruptcy. Mistakenly, spouses likely to go bankrupt transfer property that is in their name to their spouse believing this will avoid the trustee in bankruptcy having a claim to the property. Unfortunately for the bankrupt spouse, the trustee in bankruptcy can claw back any transactions made from 6 months prior to the act of bankruptcy.
Transfers of property are void if the main purpose of the transfer was to defeat creditors or to prevent the transferred property from becoming divisible among creditors or to hinder or delay the process of making property available for division among the creditors.
A transfer by a person who is insolvent to a creditor is also void against the trustee if the tansfer gave the creditor a preference, priority or advance over other creditors and was made within usually 6 months before the bankruptcy commenced.
Further, transfers of property by a bankrupt may be void against a trustee if made within 5 years of the start of the bankruptcy and there was no consideration, or the transfer was for less than market value. Market value consideration does not include family relationship, marriage or de facto relationship, promise to marry or partner or love or affection.
Transfers are not void against the trustee if they were made more than 4 years before the commencement of bankruptcy for related entities and 2 years before the commencement of bankruptcy for all other cases, and the transferee proves that at the time of the transfer, the transferor was solvent.
The trustee in bankruptcy has to be joined as a party to the Family Court proceedings as they are not automatically a party to the proceedings. If the trustee in bankruptcy is joined, the trustee steps into the shoes of the bankrupt and the bankrupt loses the right to make submissions with respect to the property which has vested with the trustee. However, the bankrupt continues to have the right to make subsmissions about property which has not vested in the trustee, such as superannuation. The bankrupt trustee may choose not to remain in the proceedings and may give the bankrupt spouse permission to litigate in the Family Court.
What about Financial Agreements or Consent Orders?
Consent Orders are approved by the Court and therefore a transfer of property of a person who is bankrupt is protected and cannot be clawed back unless the parties did not inform the trustee of the bankrupt spouse and did not make full and frank disclosure of their assets and liabilities to each other and creditors. However, a Financial Agreement ("FA") is a private agreement between two parties and therefore it can be set aside.
Creditors have standing to apply to set a FA aside and the claw back provisions in the BA can be used by the trustee in bankruptcy to recover property transferred in accordance to a FA. It is also an act of bankruptcy if a person becomes insolvent due to a transfer of property in accordance with a FA.
What about Spousal Maintenance Orders?
Generally a maintenance order can be registered with the Child Support Agency ("CSA"). The CSA will enforce the Order by garnishing the bankrupt's wages or intercepting their tax returns. Any amount outstanding or not paid by the bankrupt will accrue and be recovered before, during or after the bankrupt is discharged from bankruptcy unless the Court orders otherwise.
A bankrupt can generally earn and retain approximately $46,018 per annum ("the threshold") if he or she has no dependants. This amount increases with the number of dependants.
If a bankrupt encounters financial difficlties post-bankruptcy, it may be possible to petition the court for a modification of spousal maintenance. However, the bankrupt will more than likely have to demonstrate a substantial change in circumstances or some sort of hardship.
What about Child Support?
Section 139N of the BA allows a bankrupt spouse to enter into a Binding Child Support Agreement ("BCSA"). The BCSA may allow a bankrupt to meet preferentially, certain expenses for their children from their above threshold income.

Acupuncture is a part of a complete medical system known now as Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). It is a culturally-based system of how the human body works and as such, its concepts and treatments can seem strange to those of us in the west. Unlike the western anatomical model which divides the physical body into parts, the Chinese model is more concerned with function. Traditional Chinese Medicine is thus holistic, based on the idea that no single part of the body can be understood except in its relation to the whole. A symptom is not traced back to a cause but is looked at as a part of a totality. A person who is well, or "balanced", has no distressing symptoms and expresses mental, physical, and spiritual balance. When that person is ill, the symptom is only one part of a complete bodily imbalance that can be seen in other aspects of his or her life and behavior. Understanding that overall pattern, with the symptom as just one part, is the beauty and the challenge of Traditional Chinese Medicine. In acupuncture, we seek to address the root imbalance in order to resolve the overall imbalance that is giving rise to your main complaint.
How does illness arise in the Chinese medical model? Consider that humans are complex creatures living in a constantly changing environment. To sustain life, our bodies continually work to maintain a homeostatic (i.e. balanced) state. In the TCM model, illness occurs when that internal balance is upset through such things as excessive or prolonged stress, insufficient rest, trauma, worry, poor diet and environmental conditions, and of course bacteria, viruses, and autoimmune disorders, to name just a few "pathogenic factors". The acupuncturist inserts fine sterilized needles into the channels of energy that form a web throughout the entire body, and connect all parts of the body together, to restore balance to your energetic systems that are put out of balance by the pathogenic factor.
Over the past 30 years, acupuncture has garnered increasing attention and respect by more and more people in western countries. Patients are looking for options to complement their standard medical care and at the same time are becoming more aware of the powerful connections between body, mind, and spirit. In Chinese Medicine, there is no separation of body, mind and spirit and the patient is treated as an entire person, not as a disease off in isolation from the rest of the whole. Even though acupuncture is an ancient tradition, it can address many of the manifestations of illness in our modern society, where many of us live in a constant state of fight or flight and our sympathetic nervous system is in overdrive. I like to think of acupuncture as tapping into our parasympathetic, which is the rest and rejuvenate part of our nervous system. Your body heals itself when in the parasympathetic state. As an added bonus, most people find acupuncture to be deeply relaxing.

Annual Conference Keynote Speakers Announced – Habitat for Humanity, YMCA & Johns Hopkins University
Plans are well underway for the 2016 LSA Annual Conference, April 25 – 28 in Minnesota. The largest event of the year, the Annual Conference continues to build and celebrate LSA's national, strong and trusted network, bringing together hundreds of Lutheran social ministry leaders. At the conference, we'll focus on mission, impact and innovation – and how our network of social ministry organizations comes together to transform lives and communities.
We are pleased to welcome a dynamic slate of speakers for the Annual Conference, both from within our social ministry network and outside the network, and excited to announce our keynoters:
Jonathan Reckford, Chief Executive Officer, Habitat for Humanity: Under Reckford's leadership, Habitat for Humanity has grown from partnering with 25,000 families annually to more than 300,000 a year in the U.S. and more than 70 countries. As a nonprofit Christian housing organization founded in 1976, Reckford leads Habitat in its efforts to provide home construction, rehabilitation and repairs and to increase access to improved shelter through products and services. His vision for the organization is founded on the belief that simple, decent and stable housing can provide a pathway out of poverty.
Reckford will share his faith-inspired journey with attendees as well as talk about how Habitat has cultivated innovative partnerships that expand their scope of services and reach new and diverse audiences.
Jonathan Lever, Vice President for Health Strategy & Innovation, YMCA of the USA (Y-USA): For more than a decade, Lever has been the chief architect and leader of the Y's response to the nation's lifestyle health crisis. Lever's strategic vision has helped establish 'the Y' as an indispensable community-based partner in public health at the national level, building public and private partnerships with premier health organizations. His efforts have helped build the organization into one of the nation's leading nonprofits, serving 22 million men, women and children in more than 10,000 communities, working to improve the nation's health and well-being.
In just the last five years, the Y-USA evolved its traditional model of community services and is now a national health care provider, partnering with national and local entities to provide low cost health programs. Lever will inspire us with his message of how national nonprofit networks can leverage their local reach and collective resources to transform communities and share how the Y-USA partnered with the National Institutes of Health to grow a population health initiative that has established the Y as an indispensable community-based partner in public health at the national level.
Dr. Kathryn Edin, Bloomberg Distinguished Professor of Sociology, Johns Hopkins University: Dr. Edin is one of the nation's preeminent poverty researchers and authors, having published five books and over 50 journal articles. Her latest acclaimed book, "$2.00 a Day: Living on Almost Nothing in America," looks at the 1.5 million American households, including about three million children, surviving on virtually no income. Dr. Edin is the Bloomberg Distinguished Professor of Sociology in the Department of Sociology, Zanvyl Krieger School of Arts and Sciences and Department of Population, Family, and Reproductive Health, Bloomberg School of Public Health at Johns Hopkins University, and works in the domains of welfare and low-wage work, family life, and neighborhood contexts.
Dr. Edin provides a fascinating look at the survival strategies of the desperately poor, the role that we play in our communities and what can be done at the national level to address poverty and inequality in America. Join Dr. Edin as she shares her perspective on the vital role steady jobs, safe places to live, community ties and dignity play in lifting people out of poverty.
In addition to her keynote address, Dr. Edin will also facilitate a panel discussion with other social ministry leaders to discuss what we – as individuals, organizations, and a national network of health and human service providers – can be doing to break the cycle of poverty for the desperately poor.
Mark your calendar to join us to hear from these and other speakers from across the public, private and nonprofit sectors, including many perspectives from LSA members. Registration will open soon!

3 Reasons Why Your Businesses Should Install Solar in 2018
By agt / News / No Comments
14% Reduction of the Corporate Tax Rate
100% Depreciation Bonus
30% Tax Credit Available
1. 14% Reduction of the Corporate Tax Rate
One of the most significant benefits of installing solar under the new tax plan is the reduction of the federal corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%. An important deciding factor for businesses considering going solar is the increase in profits that can result.
While this historically low corporate tax rate brings new investable cash to the business world, it simultaneously produces a net increase in the cost of energy for the same business. Under the previous tax code, a $1,000 monthly power bill would be deducted as an operating expense at a 35% percent yielding a net cost of $650.00. Under the new code, that same $1,000.00 bill is deducted at a 21% rate generating a net power bill of $790.00. Your power bill is going up 21.5% regardless of the current utility rates from the operating tax deduction alone, making renewable energy more valuable than ever.
For increased savings, solar systems purchased outright with cash avoid the taxes that come with loan interest payments, making cash a more attractive option than financing. Add to that an increased rate of return each year as a result of the lower tax rate and solar becomes a viable investment for businesses.
2. 100% Bonus Depreciation
With depreciation now at 100 percent, a business can deduct the entire cost of the solar system in its first year rather than spread it out over a period of time. This allows corporations to take advantage of the tax savings now rather than in the future, resulting in growing returns from going solar as well as an increase in the total value of the project.
3. 30% Tax Credit Available
The federal solar tax credit allows you to deduct 30% of the cost of installing a solar energy system from your federal income taxes until 2020. You can also claim the tax credit as soon as the construction of the system begins. The tax credit and depreciation benefit can help reduce the system price by as much as 60 percent. Add that to savings from a reduced utility bill, and business owners are looking at a bright investment.
Some of Florida's largest businesses like Publix Supermarkets, Ed Morse, Lockheed Martin, and Advanced Roofing have installed solar on their properties, from rooftop installations to solar carports. Solar has short payback period, provide steady financial returns, and help business owner's hedge against rising energy prices. According to our data, Advanced Roofing paid on average $1,623.00 in monthly electricity bills before going solar. After the installation of an 84 kW solar carport at our headquarters in Fort Lauderdale, our electricity bill is approximately $890.00 – a 55% reduction.

AGT Named Florida's Top Commercial Solar Contractor for 2015
By agt / Awards, Company Announcement, News / No Comments
Advanced Green Technologies Earns Top Solar Contractor Ranking
Ranked #1 in Florida for fourth consecutive year; 29th in the nation for commercial solar installations
Advanced Green Technologies (AGT) earns the Top Commercial Solar Contractor ranking in the State of Florida for the fourth consecutive year, and 29th in the nation by Solar Power World for 2015, the solar industry's leading media resource.
The top solar contractors' list was created by Solar Power World four years ago to offer the industry an inside look at how solar companies stack up against one another. Starting with only 100 contractors in 2011 the list has grown to 500 for 2015 and broken down into multiple categories including residential, commercial and utility markets.
With more than 43 Megawatts installed for 2014, AGT leads the industry as the highest-volume commercial solar contractor in the State of Florida and 29th in the nation. This ranking is the fourth consecutive year that AGT has earned the top honor. Additionally, the ranking marks an upward swing not only for the company but also for the Florida solar energy market as a whole, signifying demand for both rooftop and solar carport solutions. Rankings are based solely on annual kilowatts installed.
"We're proud to continue to be the top commercial solar contractor in the state, building sustainable projects that help organizations meet their bottom line while producing clean energy," said AGT President Michael Kornahrens. The projects we completed in 2014 demonstrates solar energy's potential to improve sustainability for Florida's private sector and is a shining example of our company's decades of experience handling complex projects in all sectors,"
The Solar Power World ranking came on the heels of another big honor for the company in 2015. AGT's sister company, Advanced Roofing Inc. was recognized by the Florida Roofing and Sheet Metal Contractors Association with the First Place Award for Sustainability and the Best Overall Project of the Year Award for its roofing, waterproofing, and solar project scopes at the University of Miami Frost School of Music.

AGT wants to remind commercial building and business owners in Florida the most important financial incentive for installing solar energy systems, the 30% Federal Solar Tax Credit will be significantly reduced by the end of 2016. Currently, you can subtract 30% of all solar energy system installation costs directly from your federal income tax payments, making for a quick return on investment. After 2016, the cost of going solar will rise by at least 20%. This increase can equal up to $1 Million in additional costs. The proposal, due diligence, and corporate decision-making process for a solar project takes several months. Now is the time to begin on the path toward energy independence, financial savings, and environmental sustainability.

Чемпионат России по софтболу — ежегодное соревнование женских софтбольных команд России. Проводится с 1992 года.

В 1991 году прошёл первый и единственный чемпионат СССР по софтболу среди женщин. Его победителем стала молдавская команда «Виктория» (Тирасполь). Чемпионаты 1992 и 1993 годов имели статус открытого чемпионата России с участием команд из бывших республик СССР. С 1994 первенство разыгрывают уже только российские команды. Организатором чемпионатов до 2002 являлась Федерация бейсбола, софтбола и русской лапты России, а после её разделения на три организации софтбольные чемпионаты страны проводятся под управлением Федерации софтбола России.

Формула соревнований
Чемпионат 2019 в высшей лиге проходил с мая по август в три круга по туровой системе с участием 7 команд: «Карусель» (Тучково), «Московия» (Москва), «Звезда» (Звенигород), «Калита» (Голицыно), СШОР-42 (Москва), «Москвич» (Москва), сборная Республики Крым (Симферополь). Чемпионский титул в 7-й раз подряд и в 25-й в своей истории выиграла «Карусель». 2-е место заняла «Московия», 3-е — «Звезда».

В 2020 году в связи с пандемией COVID-19 чемпионат в высшей лиге был проведён по укороченной программе и включал два этапа — предварительный и плей-офф. Участники (8 команд): «Карусель» (Тучково), «РусСтар» (Москва), «Московия» (Москва), «Москвич» (Москва), СШОР-42 (Москва), сборная Республики Крым (Симферополь), «Калита» (Голицыно), «Звезда» (Звенигород). На предварительном этапе команды были разделены на две группы, в которых играли в один круг. Победители групп провели матч «А» за прямой выход в финал, вторые команды — матч «Б» за выход в полуфинал. В полуфинале проигравший в матче «А» играл с победителем в матче «Б» за ещё одну путёвку в финал. Финалисты определили обладателей золотых и серебряных наград, проигравший в полуфинале стал бронзовым призёром чемпионата. Итоговые 5 -е и 7-е места разыграли команды занявшие соответственно 3-и и 4-е места в группах предварительного этапа.

В финале «РусСтар» победил «Карусель» 2:1. 3-е место заняла «Московия». Чемпионат прошёл с 4 по 9 августа на московской «РусСтар Арене».

Чемпионат 2021 проходил в 3 круга по туровой системе. Участники (8 команд): «РусСтар» (Москва), «Карусель» (Тучково), «Московия» (Москва), СШОР-42 (Москва), «Калита» (Голицыно), «Звезда» (Звенигород), «Москвич» (Москва), сборная Республики Крым (Симферополь). Чемпионом во 2-й раз подряд стала команда «РусСтар». 2-е место заняла «Карусель», 3-е — «Московия».

Чемпионат 2022 проходил по той же системе, что и предыдущий — в 3 круга по туровой системе. Участники (7 команд): «РусСтар» (Москва), «Карусель» (Тучково), «Московия» (Москва), СШОР-42 (Москва), «Калита» (Голицыно), «Плейерс» (Москва), «Звезда» (Звенигород), «Москвич» (Москва), сборная Республики Крым (Симферополь). Чемпионом в 3-й раз подряд стала команда «РусСтар». 2-е место заняла «Карусель», 3-е — «Московия».

The Braves are now sporting a 6-3 record after a bad home series against the Marlins. Some fans are already in panic, and some analysts are smirking about how the Braves are returning to their expectations. If you're one of those people, please take a moment and cram that stuff up your rear. Rooting against your team because you predicted them to fail, or panicking while both A - your team is above .500, and B - we're not even to Memorial Day is asinine. So calm down.
The truth is that our 4-5 part of the rotation is not great. It likely will get better, or the Braves will make some changes. But they certainly won't make changes with guys that have less than five starts under their belt in the season. You have to allow Roger McDowell time to make his alterations and work with the new starters.
Game 1 was a rain soaked affair that I actually attended. Sort of. I did show up to the game and the immediate 30 minute rain delay. Then I stayed for three innings and the next rain delay. At that point it was past 9PM with 6 innings left and at least a 45 minute delay to go. I left because I have a job. The Braves won anyway thanks to a solid 5 innings of 1 run ball by Shelby Miller, and a 5th inning flurry of offense led by Callaspo and Markakis. Braves took the game 3-2 even though Jason Grilli had some trouble in the ninth nailing down the save after allowing this first earned run of the season.
Game 2 was Trevor Cahill's first outing of the year. It went...poorly. If you can imagine a game of coach pitch, but the dad is slightly drunk and looks like he's about ten years out of his prime? That's pretty close to what happened. It was 4-0 and Cahill had given up 9 baserunners before the third inning was even over, plus he walked in a run. Fredi Gonzalez had to yank him in favor of Sugar Ray Marimon, whom I previewed in my previous Who the Heck Is That Atlanta Braves post. Sugar Ray had a good outing, and went 4 innings giving up only 2 runs. Better than Cahill at least, and Marimon is an MLB rookie. Either way, it just got worse from there on the way to an 8-2 Braves loss.
Game 3 was a day game where Eric Stults got his second start of the year. Considering the lifetime averages of the Marlins against Stults, I was expecting a disaster. I got a mild earthquake. Stults gave up 4 runs in 5 innings, so he was slightly better than Cahill in that he took longer to achieve a crappy result. The Marlins then touched up the bullpen for two more runs, but the game was long decided. The problem with small ball offense is that when you spot a team four runs, you're basically boned. Oh but the Cameron Maybin and Kelly Johnson both randomly hit solo homers in the game, so if you had them in FanDuel you're happy. The rest of us were just mad the Braves lost 6-2.
Shelby Miller looks good still. He's a key starter in our rotation along with Teheran and Wood, and we'll need all three of those guys to carry the team while we work out the 4-5 slots.
The Braves rallied in game one even though they were suffering through rain delays. They always kept it close and that's key with a team that will likely get 2-4 runs of offense on average per game.
Sugar Ray Marimon looked good in his first outing as an MLB player. He came into the game with the bases loaded and one out. Then he escaped with no more damage by striking out the next batter and getting a grounder from the second.
MVP goes to Sugar Ray Marimon for not only his pitching performance by escaping the bases loaded jam in his first ever major league inning. No, no. He also came up in the bottom half of the inning and got his first ever hit. I'm not sure how often a pitcher has ever gotten his first strikeout and his first hit in the same inning, but I bet it's a pretty rare club.
Maybe next time Sugar Ray will be in a game with a chance to win.

I was once told a story about a man who had died in the early 1900's and because of his size, 6'10", they were unable to fit him into a casket; he was simply too big. Therefore, they bound his legs back with some rope in order to fit him in the casket. The funeral service was closed casket and as the pastor gave the eulogy he spoke very highly of the deceased. Then all of a sudden, right there in the middle of the sanctuary as the pastor spoke, rigor mortis set in and the man's previously bound legs popped back into place and knocked the casket open and everyone ran out of the sanctuary terrified, thinking the dead man had come to life. He, of course, had not.
Today there is great interest in the undead. We have TV shows, movies, holidays, and costumes all dealing with people who have died and come to life. Interestingly enough, the Bible speaks of Christians as those who were dead and have come to life spiritually.
Once you have been made alive by God your heart is softened and your eyes are opened to the gospel. And at that moment you come to realize your need for a Savior and your response is to turn to Him in faith and repentance.
Thank God, that in His grace, He gives life to undeserving, spiritually dead sinners, who want nothing to do with Him, so that they can turn to Him in faith.
