Publication of Policy Brief on IAHRS Impact
The Inter-American Human Rights Network is pleased to announce the publication of its policy brief 'The Impact of the Inter-American Human Rights System: Current Achievements and Future Challenges', which summarises the principal conclusions of its inaugural workshop of October 2014.
The workshop discussions suggest that while impact is shaped by a number of factors, the Inter-American Human Rights System (IAHRS) is likely to be most effective where its various mechanisms are employed in a coordinated fashion; where its decisions attract widespread media attention; and where domestic actors utilise its rulings and precedents to further their own efforts to bring about national-level policy change.
In seeking to expand its impact in the future, the IAHRS will need to overcome challenges related to its financing and authority, address shortcomings in the collection of data on its activities, and effectively manage the potentially divergent interests of litigants and victims within the system.
The policy brief is available for download, in both English and Spanish, via the links below.

I was taken on a night drive at Little Ruckomechi in Mana Pools while staying there. Honest Siyawareva was my guide, and I was grateful when the sun went down, and temperatures cooled after the hot day.
We left late afternoon, and found a spot on the side of the Zambezi River to enjoy a cold beer as the sun dropped behind the hills of Zambia across the river. This was just after we had spotted a leopard (read about it in this blog), and so our spirits were soaring. It's hard to beat the feeling of a cold beer in your hand, watching the sun go down over an African wilderness, having just spent half an hour with a leopard.
Using the red spot light, we spotted a small-spotted genet (sorry, couldn't resist). This is definitely one of the prettier small predators. Then, just was we got near to camp, a bull elephant stood in our way. Because the bush was thick, we couldn't get round him, so we just waited, and waited…and waited. Eventually, he moved off, but there's no rushing a bull elephant!
Sundowners on the banks of the Zambezi River.
Towards the end of the dry winters, local people on the Zambian side of the Zambezi start burning the grass…to ensure fresh grazing for their cattle when the rains fall, and partly so that the bush is not thick, so they can see where the wild animals are…living among wildlife is not easy for many communities in Africa.
Spotted hyaena on the prowl.
I've never, ever seen a happy Cape buffalo. They always seem so grumpy, especially the older ones. I would not want to be walking through the bush at night with one of these fellas around.
Hippo leaving the river, in search of grazing at night.
The red light of our vehicle shines on the bull elephant which took his time to let us pass!

Q: I2C implementation on Nuvoton N76E003 I am trying to interface MCP23017 I2C based GPIO expander with nuvoton N76E003 microcontroller. I am developing in Keil C51.
Taking the reference of the given examples and some references online, I made a code to control the MCP23017's functions. However, I am not getting any response on the I2C bus. I am attaching my code with this. I am commented the code so it will be easier to understand.

Tax Shift
Tennessee Governor Poised to Raise Gas Tax by Six Cents per Gallon
Both chambers of Tennessee's General Assembly approved Gov. Bill Haslam's transportation plan on April 19, which hikes diesel taxes by 10 cents per gallon but lowers other taxes. Indiana appears poised to follow with a 10-cent gas tax increase.
New Jersey's 23-Cent Gas Tax Increase Clears Legislature
The historic gas hike agreement was unexpectedly rejected in its first attempt to pass the legislature. It was approved on Oct. 7 because only a majority vote was needed. Republican Gov. Chris Chris is expected to sign the legislation.
Landmark Agreement Reached to Increase New Jersey Gas Tax by 23 Cents
A day after a fatal NJ Transit train crash at the Hoboken Terminal, Republican Gov. Chris Christie and Democratic leaders of the legislature announced the agreement to raise the tax by 159 percent; the first increase to the *14.5-cent tax since 1990.

Home » Blog » Personal Injury » When Is It Too Late to File a Personal Injury Lawsuit in Indiana?
Being injured in an accident is a traumatic life event. In just a few seconds, another person's choice can turn your life upset and dramatically change your future. When another person or party causes you to be injured, you may have a civil claim against that party for damages. Indiana's personal injury laws provide a legal way for you to file a civil lawsuit against the at-fault party to receive compensation for your injuries.
However, many people are not aware that they have a limited amount of time to file a personal injury lawsuit. Indiana's Statute of Limitations sets time limits for injury victims to file a personal injury lawsuit. If a lawsuit is not filed before the expiration of the deadline, the law bars the injury victim from pursuing any action against the at-fault party for compensation.
If you or a family member has been injured, contact our law firm immediately to discuss your legal right to receive compensation for your injury.
To protect your right to file a personal injury lawsuit to collect damages from the person who caused your injury, do not wait until the end of the statute of limitations period before contacting a Bloomington personal injury lawyer. Investigating a personal injury accident takes time. You want to give your attorney as much time as possible to investigate and prepare your case before filing the lawsuit.
You do not want to rush an investigation because you could miss a vital piece of evidence needed to prove fault and to correctly value damages. The longer your attorney has to work on your personal injury lawsuit, the better. Furthermore, there are always exceptions to the general rule for the time limit to file a personal injury lawsuit. Therefore, contacting an injury attorney as soon as possible after the accident or after discovering the injury is in your best interest.
Wrongful Death Lawsuits – Wrongful death lawsuits must be filed within two years from the date of death.
Product Liability Lawsuits – You have two years from the date of the injury to file a product liability lawsuit to hold the designer, manufacturer, distributor, seller, and any other parties responsible for your injuries.
Motor Vehicle Accident Lawsuits – Car crashes, motorcycle accidents, bicycle accidents, and commercial truck accidents have a two-year statute of limitations too.
Medical Malpractice – In most cases, the patient has two years from the date of the malpractice to file a medical malpractice lawsuit.
Other Types of Personal Injury Lawsuits – Other types of accidents that result in injury typically have a two-year statement of limitations for filing a lawsuit. This includes, but is not limited to, slip and fall cases; dog bites; pedestrian accidents, and dangerous drugs.
As you can see, personal injury lawsuits in Indiana almost always must be filed within two years from the date of injury. However, there are always exceptions to the general rule.
If a child is the victim, you may have additional time to file a personal injury lawsuit. Likewise, someone who is incompetent may also have addition time to file a personal injury lawsuit. In addition, if you were not aware of the injury, as in the case of medical malpractice where symptoms do not appear until much later, you may have additional time to file a medical malpractice lawsuit.
On the other hand, if a government entity is involved in your accident, you may be required to file notice with the government entity within a short period of time to protect your right to file a personal injury lawsuit. Because there are exceptions to the general rules regarding time limits to file a personal injury lawsuit in Indiana, you should call our office as soon as possible to speak with an experienced injury lawyer.
You can reach The Ken Nunn Law Office 7 days a week/24 hours a day through our Live Chat option online or by calling 1-800-CALL-KEN or 1-800-225-5536.


Force MPs who choose the leave their parties to hold By elections or resign!
In light of the recent resignations in both the Labour and Conservative parties, I believe, as do many others, that these MPs should not sit in parliament until they have reclaimed their seat by way of a by election.
These MPs were voted in by their constituents on the manifesto of their parties, yet they choose to go against their electorate and be self serving. They should not be paid by the tax payer nor should they claim expenses as they are not doing the job they were elected to do.
I also believe that it should be illegal for them to set up a party, off shore in order to prevent the correct bodies, i.e. the electoral commission, to monitor their actions as far as donors, money, tax and sponsorship goes.
We want a change to the laws to ensure that all politicians who do not follow the will of their constituents, who vote them into office, are deselected or made to run again by the way of a by election. After all, wasn't it the Conservative party who promised transparency and to allow the British public to hold MPs accountable.

Cairn Homes profits swell as revenues jump
7 March 2019 | 09:23am
StockMarketWire.com - Irish homebuilder Cairn Homes reported Thursday a sharp jump in profits as revenues more than doubled amid ongoing strong demand from home buyers in Dublin.
For the year ended 31 December 2018, profit before tax rose to €37.6m from €6.0m and revenue grew to €337.0m from €149.5 a year earlier.
The homebuilder closed 804 closed sales in 2018 at an average selling price of €366,000, well above the 418 closed sales at an ASP of €315,000 reported a year earlier.
Construction activity had increased since the start of 2019 with five further site commencements planned which would deliver an additional 2,200 new homes, the company said.
Cairn's year to date closed sales and current forward sales pipeline was 'encouraging, with a sales value of €201.4 million (471 units at an ASP of €428,000) as at 6 March 2019,' the company added.
The company estimated that as many as 2,500 - 3,000 units from its 4,400 apartment units could satisfy more than €1bn of the capital seeking multifamily PRS opportunities in the Greater Dublin Area).
Cairn's expected free cash generation of about €350m to €400m by the end of 2021 would enable the board to announce a first interim ordinary dividend of 2.5 cent per share in September 2019.
'Cairn's operational capability across our attractive landbank, combined with pent-up consumer and institutional demand for well built homes, will drive revenues, profitability and cash generation in 2019 and beyond. This in turn enables us to commence a progressive capital return strategy this year. We look forward to the future with confidence,' said Michael Stanley, Co-Founder and CEO.

But for some security reasons I want to encrypt(salt) the url parameters. Is there any way to do in WSO2IS. I am using WSO2 identity Server 5.1.0.


The night also marked the final show with Hunter Valentine and Vanity Theft, the team-up was a good fit, as the two band's music and attitude seems to compliment each other. Everyone involved seemed sad to say farewell, but we'll get to that later.
Starting off the night was Sensory Motel, a band out of place on account that the other three bands were all-girls bands. Singer Steve Rhoden said it was their "last local show ever", although you didn't hear it from me, but I think they're going in some acoustic/folk venture later. Their set was pretty long for an opening band, I suppose it only seem long because I didn't know any of the songs. Well, minus the Talking Heads cover "Psycho Killer".
Hunter Valentine seems pleased at the turn out last night (which admittedly had a pretty good group of people). They had a great stage presence, and the highlight of the set for me was, what I'm pretty sure was a cover of this old 80s song, "Your Love", members of Vanity Theft joined them on stage. Hand claps and dancing were involved.
Prior to show, I was talking to the staff and I mentioned I was really looking forward to seeing Lizzie Maguire's best friend. I was then told that she (Lelaine) wasn't on tour for some auditions or something. Indeed, it was correct, Amanda Dellevigne, took over the bass duty.
As you can see from Vanity Theft's setlist, most of the songs played were from their recently released Get What You Came For. The two not from the new album were "Where's the Action?" and "Symptoms", which was the last song on the set. During the performance of "Anatomy", Hunter Valentine repaid the favor from earlier with a stage invasion of their own*.
Anyway, sad to see the end of the Hunter Valentine and Vanity Theft alliance, but I'm glad to have caught their final appearance together.
* I actually have a video clip of this, but Comcast seems to have banned me from uploading any file larger than 100mb. I had to do some research on this, because my modem kept restarting, you can read more about it on this forum. I'll try and reduce the file, and/or go to a public hotspot and upload it from there (too much work!). I hate Comcast.

This change is based on safety recommendations from the National Transportation Safety Board following its investigations of two accidents and several incidents involving 737s. The rule also adopts a prohibition on deviations from flight recorder requirements for all airplanes operated under part 125.
Airworthiness Directives; Rolls-Royce plc RB211 Trent 500 Series Turbofan Engines
We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the products listed above. This AD results from mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) issued by an aviation authority of another country to identify and correct an unsafe condition on an aviation product. The MCAI describes the unsafe condition as:
Air Traffic Procedures Advisory Committee
The FAA is issuing this notice to advise the public that a meeting of the Federal Aviation Administration Air Traffic Procedures Advisory Committee (ATPAC) will be held to review present air traffic control procedures and practices for standardization, revision, clarification, and upgrading of terminology and procedures.
Special Conditions: Spectrum Aeronautical, LLC Model 40; Lithium Polymer Battery Installation
This action proposes special conditions for the Spectrum Aeronautical, LLC Model 40 (S-40) airplane. This airplane will have a novel or unusual design feature associated with the installation of lithium polymer (Li-Poly) batteries for emergency, main, and auxiliary power unit (APU) applications. The applicable airworthiness regulations do not contain adequate or appropriate safety standards for this design feature. These proposed special conditions contain the additional safety standards that the Administrator considers necessary to establish a level of safety equivalent to that established by the existing airworthiness standards.
Airworthiness Directives; MD Helicopters, Inc. Model MD900 Helicopters
This document supersedes AD 2008-18-52 and publishes in the Federal Register an amendment adopting Emergency Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2008-22-53 which was sent previously to all known U.S. owners and operators of MD Helicopters, Inc. (MDHI) Model MD900 helicopters by individual letters. This AD requires turning ON both Vertical Stabilizer Control System (VSCS) switches and turning OFF the autopilot (AP/SAS) switch; pulling certain AP/SAS circuit breakers; installing a placard near the AP/SAS master switch; installing an airspeed limitation placard on the instrument panel; and making changes to the Rotorcraft Flight Manual (RFM). This AD is prompted by 4 occurrences in which the left VSCS adapter tubes failed on the MD900 helicopters and the vertical stabilizer became uncontrollable, resulting in reduced yaw control of the helicopter. There were no injuries, but in one occurrence, due to the high speed quick yaw, the helicopter lost a window and a door. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent loss of yaw control and subsequent loss of control of the helicopter.
Airworthiness Directives; Boeing Model 777-200LR Series Airplanes Powered by General Electric (GE) Model GE90-110B Engines, and Model 777-300ER Series Airplanes Powered by GE Model GE90-115B Engines
We are revising an existing airworthiness directive (AD) that applies to certain Boeing Model 777-200LR and -300ER series airplanes. That AD currently requires revising the airplane flight manual to prohibit takeoffs at less than full-rated thrust. This new AD reduces the applicability of the existing AD. This AD results from a report of two occurrences of engine thrust rollback during takeoff. We are issuing this AD to prevent dual-engine thrust rollback during the takeoff phase of flight, which could result in the airplane failing to lift off before reaching the end of the runway or failing to clear obstacles below the takeoff flight path.
Notice of Passenger Facility Charge (PFC) Approvals and Disapprovals
The FAA publishes a monthly notice, as appropriate, of PFC approvals and disapprovals under the provisions of the Aviation Safety and Capacity Expansion Act of 1990 (Title IX of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1990) (Pub. L. 101-508) and Part 158 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 158). This notice is published pursuant to paragraph d of Sec. 158.29.
Noise Exposure Map Notice; Receipt of Noise Compatibility Program and Request for Review; Waterbury-Oxford Airport, Oxford, CT
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announces its determination that the noise exposure map for Waterbury-Oxford Airport, as submitted by the Connecticut Department of Transportation under the provisions of Title I of the Aviation Safety and Noise Abatement Act of 1979 (Pub. L. 96-193) and 14 CFR Part 150, is in compliance with applicable requirements. The FAA also announces that it is reviewing a proposed noise compatibility program that was submitted for Waterbury- Oxford Airport under Part 150 in conjunction with the noise exposure map, and that this program will be approved or disapproved on or before May 5, 2009.
Notice of Intent To Rule on Request To Change the Use of Airport Property at the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport, Covington, KY
The Federal Aviation Administration is requesting public comment on the change of use of land at the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport in the city of Covington, KY. This property, approximately .538 acres, will change to a non-aeronautical use. This action is taken under the provisions of Section 125 of the Wendell H. Ford Aviation Investment Reform Act for the 21st Century (AIR 21).
Agency Information Collection Activity Seeking OMB Approval
The FAA invites public comments about our intention to request the Office of Management and Budget's (OMB) revision of a current information collection. The Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment period soliciting comments on the following collection of information was published on June 19, 2008, vol. 73, no. 119, pages 34975-34976. The rule requires passengers who intend to use an approved POC to present a physician statement before boarding.
Airworthiness Directives; Honeywell International Inc. ALF502L-2 and ALF502L-2C Turbofan Engines
The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for Honeywell International Inc. ALF502L-2 and ALF502L-2C turbofan engines with certain high-pressure compressor (HPC) first stage discs installed. This proposed AD would require performing a dimensional inspection to determine if excessive disc balance material was removed and a magnetic particle inspection if the disc passes the dimensional inspection. This proposed AD results from reports of discs found with excessive material removed from the balancing material of the disc. We are proposing this AD to prevent the discs from fracturing before reaching the currently published life limit. A disc fracture could result in an uncontained failure of the disc and damage to the airplane.
RTCA Program Management Committee
The FAA is issuing this notice to advise the public of a meeting of the RTCA Program Management Committee.
Airworthiness Directives; MD Helicopters, Inc. Model 500N and 600N Helicopters
This document supersedes AD 2008-18-52 and publishes in the Federal Register an amendment adopting Emergency Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2008-22-52 which was sent previously to all known U.S. owners and operators of MD Helicopters, Inc. (MDHI) Model 500N and 600N helicopters by individual letters. This AD requires turning OFF the Yaw Stability Augmentation System (YSAS); installing a placard that limits airspeed to 100 KTS or VNE, whichever is less; and revising the limitations section of the Rotorcraft Flight Manual (RFM) to reflect that limitation. Finally, replacing the adapter tubes with airworthy adapter tubes that have a production date code stamp is required. This AD is prompted by several occurrences of failed adapter tubes on the Model MD900 helicopter which uses the same adapter tubes. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent loss of yaw control and subsequent loss of control of the helicopter.
Airworthiness Directives; MD Helicopters, Inc. Model 600N Helicopters
This document corrects airworthiness directive (AD) 2008-20-05 which was published on October 10, 2008 (73 FR 60102) and applies to MD Helicopters, Inc. (MDHI) Model 600N helicopters. AD 2008-20-05 requires modifying the fuselage aft section, repetitively inspecting the tailboom attachment fittings, installing inspection holes and attachment bolt washers, modifying both access covers, and replacing broken attachment bolts. This document corrects the AD number that is incorrectly listed as 2008-20-08 on page 60104 of the AD.
Airworthiness Directives; Bombardier Model BD-700-1A10 and BD-700-1A11 Airplanes
We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the products listed above. This AD results from mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) originated by an aviation authority of another country to identify and correct an unsafe condition on an aviation product. The MCAI describes the unsafe condition as:
Airworthiness Directives; Pratt & Whitney Canada Corp. JT15D-5; -5B; -5F; and -5R Turbofan Engines
We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the products listed above. This AD results from mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) issued by an aviation authority of another country to identify and correct an unsafe condition on an aviation product. The MCAI describes the unsafe condition as follows:
Standard Instrument Approach Procedures, and Takeoff Minimums and Obstacle Departure Procedures; Miscellaneous Amendments
This establishes, amends, suspends, or revokes Standard Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAPs) and associated Takeoff Minimums and Obstacle Departure Procedures for operations at certain airports. These regulatory actions are needed because of the adoption of new or revised criteria, or because of changes occurring in the National Airspace System, such as the commissioning of new navigational facilities, adding new obstacles, or changing air traffic requirements. These changes are designed to provide safe and efficient use of the navigable airspace and to promote safe flight operations under instrument flight rules at the affected airports.
Special Conditions: Embraer Model EMB-500 Series Airplane Special Conditions for Flight Performance, Flight Characteristics, and Operating Limitations
These special conditions are issued for the Embraer Model EMB- 500 series airplane. This airplane will have a novel or unusual design feature(s) associated with engine location, certain performance, flight characteristics and operating limitations necessary for this type of airplane. The applicable airworthiness regulations do not contain adequate or appropriate safety standards for this design feature. These special conditions contain the additional safety standards that the Administrator considers necessary to establish a level of safety equivalent to that established by the existing airworthiness standards.
Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Model A330-200, A330-300, A340-300, A340-500, and A340-600 Series Airplanes
We are superseding an existing airworthiness directive (AD) for the products listed above. This AD results from mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) originated by an aviation authority of another country to identify and correct an unsafe condition on an aviation product. The MCAI describes the unsafe condition as:
Airworthiness Directives; Boeing Model 737-600, -700, -700C, -800 and -900 Series Airplanes
We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Boeing Model 737-600, -700, -700C, -800 and -900 series airplanes. This AD requires an inspection of the escape slides for the forward and aft entry and service doors to determine the part number and service bulletin number stenciled on the escape slide girt, and modification of the escape slide assemblies. This AD also requires concurrent modification of the escape slide latch assemblies; concurrent inspection of the escape slides to determine the part number and service bulletin number stenciled on the escape slide girts, and replacement of the trigger housing on the regulator valve with an improved trigger housing if necessary; and concurrent replacement of the rod in the pilot valve regulator with a new, improved rod; as applicable. This AD results from reports that certain escape slides did not automatically inflate when deployed or after the manual inflation cable was pulled. We are issuing this AD to prevent failure of an escape slide to inflate when deployed, which could result in the slide being unusable during an emergency evacuation and consequent injury to passengers or crewmembers.
Airworthiness Directives; Vulcanair S.p.A. Model P68 Series Airplanes
Airworthiness Directives; Rolls-Royce plc Models RB211 Trent 768-60, Trent 772-60, and Trent 772B-60 Turbofan Engines
The FAA is superseding an existing airworthiness directive (AD) for Rolls-Royce plc (RR) models RB211 Trent 768-60, Trent 772-60, and Trent 772B-60 turbofan engines that have not incorporated RR Service Bulletin (SB) No. RB.211-72-E708, SB No. RB.211-72-F227, or SB No. RB.211-72-E965, at original issue or later revision. That AD currently requires initial and repetitive borescope inspections of the high-pressure/intermediate-pressure (HP/IP) turbine bearing internal oil vent tube, scavenge tube, and tube heat shields for wear and cracking, and removing tubes from service if found with any cracks beyond serviceable limits. That AD also currently requires installation of a new or modified HP/IP turbine bearings support as terminating action for the repetitive borescope inspections. This AD has the same requirements, and adds a repetitive inspection of the vent flow restrictor for blockage. This AD results from RR revising their alert service bulletin for inspection of the HP/IP turbine bearing internal oil vent tube, scavenge tube, and tube heat shields for damage, to include a repetitive inspection of the vent flow restrictor for blockage. We are issuing this AD to prevent oil ejecting from the HP/IP turbine bearings chamber and igniting. Burning oil can cause the intermediate-pressure (IP) shaft to fracture, the IP turbine to overspeed, and possible uncontained failure of the engine.
Airworthiness Directives; Hawker Beechcraft Corporation Model BH.125 Series 600A Airplanes and Model HS.125 Series 700A Airplanes Modified in Accordance With Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) SA2271SW
We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Hawker Beechcraft Corporation Model BH.125 series 600A airplanes and Model HS.125 series 700A airplanes. This proposed AD would require inspecting the wiring diagrams containing the cockpit blowers and comparing with the current airplane configuration, and reworking the wiring if necessary. This proposed AD results from a report indicating that a blower motor of the cockpit ventilation and avionics cooling system seized up and gave off smoke. We are proposing this AD to prevent smoke and fumes in the cockpit in the event that a blower motor seizes and overheats due to excessive current draw.
Airworthiness Directives; Boeing Model 747 Airplanes
We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Boeing Model 747 airplanes. This proposed AD would require repetitive external surface high frequency eddy current inspections to detect cracks in the radius detail of the upper lobe doubler on both sides of the airplane, and applicable corrective action. This proposed AD results from reports of cracks in the radius detail of the upper lobe doublers. We are proposing this AD to detect and correct cracks in the upper lobe doublers. Such cracks could result in significant degradation of the fuselage structure and reduce its ability to carry flight loads from the vertical stabilizer, which could adversely affect the controllability of the airplane.
Airworthiness Directives; ATR Model ATR42-200, ATR42-300, ATR42-320, ATR42-500, ATR72-101, ATR72-201, ATR72-102, ATR72-202, ATR72-211, ATR72-212, and ATR72-212A Airplanes
We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the products listed above. This proposed AD results from mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) originated by an aviation authority of another country to identify and correct an unsafe condition on an aviation product. The MCAI describes the unsafe condition as:
Airworthiness Directives; McDonnell Douglas Model DC-10-10, DC-10-10F, DC-10-15, DC-10-30, DC-10-30F (KC-10A and KDC-10), DC-10-40, DC-10-40F, MD-10-10F, and MD-10-30F Airplanes
The FAA is revising an earlier NPRM for an airworthiness directive (AD) that applies to certain McDonnell Douglas Model DC-10- 10, DC-10-10F, DC-10-15, DC-10-30, DC-10-30F (KC-10A and KDC-10), DC- 10-40, and DC-10-40F airplanes. The original NPRM would have revised an existing AD that currently requires installing or replacing with improved parts, as applicable, the bonding straps between the metallic frame of the fillet and the wing leading edge ribs, on both the left and right sides of the airplane. The original NPRM proposed to revise the applicability to clarify the identity of the affected airplanes. The original NPRM resulted from fuel system reviews conducted by the manufacturer. This new action proposes to revise the applicability to add and remove certain airplanes, and to add a requirement to reposition or replace two bonding straps for certain airplanes. This new action also proposes to supersede, rather than revise, the existing AD. We are proposing this supplemental NPRM to reduce the potential of ignition sources inside fuel tanks in the event of a severe lightning strike, which, in combination with flammable fuel vapors, could result in fuel tank explosions and consequent loss of the airplane.
Airworthiness Directives; Bell Helicopter Textron Canada Model 206L, 206L-1, and 206L-3 Helicopters
This document proposes to revise an existing airworthiness directive (AD) for Bell Helicopter Textron Canada (BHTC) Model 206L, 206L-1, and 206L-3 helicopters with certain part-numbered tailbooms. That AD currently requires a visual inspection of the tailboom skin in the areas around the nutplates and in the areas of the tailboom drive shaft cover retention clips for cracks and corrosion using a 10-power or higher magnifying glass until the tailboom is replaced with an airworthy tailboom. This action would require the same actions as the existing AD but would allow a longer interval for the repetitive inspections if the tailboom is modified. Replacement with an airworthy tailboom other than a part-numbered tailboom affected by this proposal would constitute terminating action for the requirements of this AD. The existing AD was prompted by an accident and several reports of fatigue cracks in the tailboom skin in the areas around the nutplates for the tail rotor fairing and in the areas of the tail rotor drive shaft cover retention clips. These proposed actions are intended to prevent failure of the tailboom and subsequent loss of control of the helicopter.
Airworthiness Directives; Erickson Air-Crane Incorporated (Erickson) Model S-64F Helicopters
This document proposes adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for Erickson Model S-64F helicopters. The AD would require inspections for cracking or working rivets in each left and right splice fitting (transition fitting), the pylon bulkhead assembly canted (bulkhead assembly), the pylon steel strap (strap), and the attaching rotary rudder boom and pylon structure. This proposal is prompted by several reports of cracking in the transition fittings, the bulkhead assembly, and pylon. The actions specified by the proposed AD are intended to detect cracking in the rotary rudder boom or pylon due to fatigue, and to prevent failure from static overload and subsequent loss of control of the helicopter.
Establishment of Class D and Class E Airspace; Grayling, MI
This action establishes Class D airspace and Class E airspace at Grayling Army Airfield, Grayling, MI. Establishment of an air traffic control tower at Grayling Army Airfield has made this action necessary for the safety of Instrument Flight Rule (IFR) operations at the airport. Class D airspace will revert to a Class E Surface Area during periods when the control tower is not operating. This action also corrects the required arrival extension to the Class D airspace and redesignates it as Class E4 airspace.
Amendment of Class E Airspace; Big Spring, TX
This action amends Class E airspace at Big Spring McMahon- Wrinkle Airport, Big Spring, TX. Changes to the VOR/DME RWY 17 Standard Instrument Approach Procedure (SIAP) have made this action necessary for the safety of Instrument Flight Rule (IFR) operations at the airport.
Public Notice for Waiver of Aeronautical Land-Use Assurance; James M. Cox Dayton International Airport, Dayton, OH
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is considering a proposal to change a portion of the airport from aeronautical use to non-aeronautical use and to authorize the release of 382.9796 acres of airport property for future non-aeronautical development. The land consists of portions of 19 original airport acquired parcels. These parcels were acquired under grants 9-33-025-C511, 9-33-025-C813, 8-39- 0029-01, 8-39-0029-03, 3-39-0029-03, and 3-39-0029-13 or without federal participation. There are no impacts to the airport by allowing the City of Dayton to sell or lease the property. The land is not needed for aeronautical use. Approval does not constitute a commitment by the FAA to financially assist in the sale or lease of the subject airport property nor a determination of eligibility for grant-in-aid funding from the FAA. The disposition of proceeds from the sale or lease of the airport property will be in accordance with FAA's Policy and Procedures Concerning the Use of Airport Revenue, published in the Federal Register on February 16, 1999. In accordance with section 47107(h) of title 49, United States Code, this notice is required to be published in the Federal Register 30 days before modifying the land-use assurance that requires the property to be used for an aeronautical purpose.
Proposed Amendment of Class E Airspace; Corpus Christi, TX
This action proposes to amend Class E airspace for the Corpus Christi, TX, area. Controlled airspace is necessary to accommodate Area Navigation (RNAV) Standard Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAPs) at Mustang Beach Airport, Port Aransas, TX; and T.P. McCampbell Airport, Ingleside, TX. Also, Class E airspace around Aransas County Airport, Rockport, TX, and San Jose Island Airport, Rockport, TX, would be incorporated into the Corpus Christi, TX, area Class E airspace. The Rockport, TX, designation is being removed under a separate rulemaking. The FAA is taking this action to enhance the safety and management of Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) aircraft operations in and around the Corpus Christi, TX, airspace area.
Proposed Amendment of Class D and Class E Airspace; Corpus Christi Naval Air Station/Truax Field, TX
This action proposes to amend the geographic coordinates of the Class D and E Airspace areas for Corpus Christi Naval Air Station (NAS)/Truax Field, Corpus Christi, TX. The FAA's National Aeronautical Charting Office is requesting this action to enhance the safety and management of Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) aircraft operations at Corpus Christi NAS/Truax Field.
Airworthiness Directives; CFM International S.A. Model CFM56 Turbofan Engines
The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for CFM International S.A. CFM56-2, CFM56-3, CFM56-5A, CFM56-5B, CFM56- 5C, and CFM56-7B series turbofan engines with certain part number (P/N) and serial number (SN) high-pressure compressor (HPC) 4-9 spools installed. This proposed AD would require removing certain HPC 4-9 spools listed by P/N and SN in this proposed AD. This proposed AD results from reports of certain HPC 4-9 spools that Propulsion Technology LLC (PTLLC) improperly repaired and returned to service. We are proposing this AD to prevent cracking of the HPC 4-9 spool, which could result in possible uncontained failure of the spool and damage to the airplane.
Airworthiness Directives; General Electric Company CF6-80C2 and CF6-80E1 Series Turbofan Engines
The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for General Electric Company (GE) CF6-80C2 and CF6-80E1 series turbofan engines with high-pressure compressor rotor (HPCR) spool shaft stage 14 disks, part number (P/N) 1703M49G02, 1703M49G03, or 1509M71G10 installed. This proposed AD would require a one-time eddy current inspection (ECI) of the HPCR spool shaft stage 14 disk web for crack indications, and removing from service any parts with web cracks. This proposed AD results from reports of 12 HPCR spool shaft stage 14 disks with web cracks discovered to date. We are proposing this AD to prevent cracks from propagating to an uncontained failure of the disk and damage to the airplane.
Special Conditions: Boeing Model 767-300 and -300F Series Airplanes; Interaction of Systems and Structures
These special conditions are issued for the Boeing Model 767- 300 and -300F airplane as modified by Aviation Partners Boeing Supplemental Type Certificate (STC). The modified airplane has novel or unusual design features involving installation of blended winglets and a speedbrake wing-load-alleviation system. This system reduces loading on the wing. The applicable airworthiness regulations for the Boeing Model 767-300 and -300F do not contain adequate or appropriate safety standards for systems which alleviate loads on structures. These special conditions contain the additional safety standards that the Administrator considers necessary to establish a level of safety equivalent to that established by the applicable airworthiness standards.
Sixth Meeting, Special Committee 214: Standards for Air Traffic Data Communication Services, Working Group 78 (WG-78)
The FAA is issuing this notice to advise the public of a sixth meeting of RTCA Special Committee 214, Standards for Air Traffic Data Communication Services.
Proposed Establishment of Class E Airspace; Tower, MN
This action proposes to establish Class E airspace at Tower, MN. Controlled airspace is necessary to accommodate new Standard Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAPs) at Tower Municipal Airport, Tower, MN. The FAA is taking this action to enhance the safety and management of Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) aircraft operations at Tower Municipal Airport.
Airworthiness Directives; Agusta S.p.A. Model A109A and A109A II Helicopters
This amendment supersedes an existing airworthiness directive (AD) for the specified Agusta S.p.A. (Agusta) model helicopters. This AD results from a revised mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) issued by an aviation authority to identify and correct an unsafe condition on an aviation product. The aviation authority of Italy, with which we have a bilateral agreement, reports that the previous MCAI should not apply to newly redesigned and improved tail rotor blades. This AD requires the same inspections as the current AD but limits the applicability to only three part-numbered tail rotor blades. This AD requires actions that are intended to prevent fatigue failure of a tail rotor blade (blade), loss of a tail rotor, and subsequent loss of control of the helicopter.
Airworthiness Directives; Eurocopter France Model AS355E, F, F1, F2, and N Helicopters
This amendment supersedes an existing airworthiness directive (AD) for the specified Eurocopter France (Eurocopter) model helicopters. That AD currently requires certain checks of the magnetic chip detector plug (chip detector) and the main gearbox (MGB) oil-sight glass, certain inspections of the lubrication pump (pump), and replacing the MGB and the pump with an airworthy MGB and pump, if necessary. Also, the AD requires that before a pump or MGB with any hours time-in-service (TIS) can be installed, it must meet the AD requirements. This AD adds all serial-numbered pumps to the applicability and requires using an improved procedure for detecting oil pump wear. This amendment is prompted by additional cases of MGB lubrication pump deterioration and a further investigation that determined that all serial-numbered pumps might be affected and the development of an improved procedure that is more accurate for detecting oil pump wear earlier. The actions specified by this AD are intended to implement improved procedures to detect a failing MGB oil pump, prevent failure of the MGB pump, seizure of the MGB, loss of drive to an engine and main rotor, and subsequent loss of control of the helicopter.
Airworthiness Directives; Boeing Model 737-400, -500, -600, -700, -700C, -800, and -900 Series Airplanes
We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Boeing Model 737-400, -500, -600, -700, -700C, -800, and -900 series airplanes. This AD requires an inspection to determine the part and serial numbers of the windshield wiper motors for the pilot's and first officer's windshields, and doing applicable corrective actions. This AD results from two reports that the left and right windshield wipers stopped working in flight. We are issuing this AD to prevent failure of the windshield wipers in wet weather, which could result in decreased visibility for the flightcrew.

New York City F.C.: Will the no megastar strategy work?
Onz Chery

New York City F.C. sporting director Claudio Reyna shared the club isn't interested in buying stars from Europe. Is this the right path?
Just four years ago New York City F.C. had two of the best midfielders of this young century on their roster, Andrea Pirlo and Frank Lampard, along with one of the best forwards, David Villa.
Lampard left in 2016, Pirlo left in 2017, and this one hurt the Cityzens' fan the most: Villa leaving in 2018.
The club didn't replace their megastars with megastars. After Lampard left in 2016, NYCFC acquired Maxi Moralez from Liga MX side Club Leon. The following season, after Pirlo's departure the next defensive midfielders NYCFC brought in were homegrown player James Sands and former VfB Stuttgart man Ebenezer Ofori.
And after Villa's exit, the club signed rising Romanian star Alexandru Mitrita.
Some NYCFC fans weren't shy to express that they wanted their megastars to be replaced with other megastars on social media:
Are we seriously playing with midfielders? We lose Frank, we get Maxi. We lose Pirlo, we get Jesus. We lose Villa and we get-who the hell is this dude?! WE NEED A STAR. No one wants to come see a bunch of no names!
— Odell Rivera Dones (@Orivdon) February 4, 2019
To these fans' despair, NYCFC sporting director Claudio Reyna noted that the club isn't too keen on bringing superstars.
"We made a strategic decision early on to bring in players that were recognizable and were known in world football," Reyna said via ESPN.
"But now I think we're in a different stage as a club. We've matured, and our fans are aware that more than anything they want to see a good team that gives 100 percent for the club and for the jersey. That's what excites me. That's kind of been our focus, and that's where we are today with this team."
Are The Pigeons flying to the right direction of the MLS Cup by not bringing superstars from Europe?
MLS 2018 champions Atlanta United's top two players from last season were former Serie A mid-table side Torino player Josef Martinez and Miguel Almiron, a young midfielder from Argentine team Club Atletico Lanus who had never played a single game in a European league.
As for the 2017 American titlists Toronto F.C., their Designated Players were Sebastian Giovinco, a midfielder who did have a very promising start but didn't live up to his expectation in Italy, Jozy Altidore and Michael Bradley, two players who couldn't really make a name for themselves in the top leagues in Europe.

Going back to 2016, champions Seattle Sounders' three top scorers were Clint Dempsey, a forward who did have quite a solid career in England but only broke in the 10 Top Ten scorers list once, Homegrown Player Jordan Morris and Nicolas Lodeiro, who only played in Europe for two years with AFC Ajax.
Portland Timbers didn't have a star from Europe in 2015 when they won the league either. You'd have to go back to 2014 to find a former star from across the sea who helped an American side win the MLS. And that was Robbie Keane with L.A. Galaxy.
As for a megastar from the European leagues, David Beckham is the only ex or current well-known player around the world to lift the MLS Cup out of eight other players Kaka, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Wayne Rooney, Thierry Henry, Didier Drogba, Lampard, Villa, and Pirlo.
Looking at the past champions the trick was to acquire a couple of solid players from a mid-table or bottom club in Europe, Martinez and Altidore for example, or a rising youngster from a second-rate league as Almiron or New York Bulls 24-year-old playmaker Kaku—NYRB didn't win the MLS in 2018 but they did win the Supporters' Shield Cup.
It seems that NYCFC is going by this formula. Going into the 2019 campaign, the Bronx based club has Moralez on their roster, a playmaker who played for Atalanta B.C. in Italy and they signed Mitrita in February. At only 24 years of age Mitrita had a quick spell in Italy as well before putting up two great seasons in an unpopular league, Liga I in Romania.
Why does this formula work? These players are younger hence they're more motivated, healthier and will be around longer. Pirlo, who joined NYCFC at 36, left the club after three seasons and only played 60 league-games due to injuries. Lampard parted away from New York after two seasons, so did Drogba with Montreal Impact.
Furthermore, when you bring in an average player from Europe, there's more space left, moneywise, to sign other solid players.
On the other side of the argument, one advantage inking superstars does come with is a high revenue. The Boys in Blue's attendance dropped from 29, 016 to 22, 643 after Pirlo and Lampard exited the club.
Perhaps Reyna was talking about revenue when he said: "We made a strategic decision early on to bring in players that were recognizable and were known in world football."
Having Villa, Lampard and Pirlo in the first few seasons was a brilliant idea to rally fans at Yankee Stadium.
Reyna continued: "But now I think we're in a different stage as a club."
Different stage means a different strategy. Will signing less known but solid players work for The Bronx Blues? It sure has worked for other clubs.

Platinum selling Country star DALLAS SMITH "has blazed a path across genres in Canadian music" (CBCMusic) for nearly two decades and fans continue to prove they'll follow him wherever he wants to go. On the heels of a career album (Lifted) earning critical acclaim, commercial success including a multi-week #1 single and an armful of JUNO and CCMA Award wins and nominations, Smith continues one of the most talked about journeys in Canadian country music with the latest marker, his third #1 single "SIDE EFFECTS" from the 2017 JUNO Award nominated release "SIDE EFFECTS" (604 Records) released last September (2016).
Flourishing on the edge of global superstardom, Smith is celebrating his 3rd career #1 and second consecutive chart topper with the soaring hit "Side Effects" on both the Nielsen BDS and Mediabase Country radio charts in Canada. Appealing to audiences far beyond the boundaries with sonic layers and a stadium sized voice, Smith not only claims his third #1 single at Country radio in Canada, but becomes the FIRST Canadian male Country artist in the BDS era (post 1995), to have three #1 songs and ONLYCanadian male Country artist to have two consecutive #1 singles. Smith is also the first Canadian Country artist to have back to back #1 singles since Shania Twain in 1997/1998.
Armed with one of the best voices in Country music, Smith has amassed international appeal since making his country debut with Jumped Right In, a project that netted a GOLD single, 5 CCMA Award nominations and a JUNO Award nomination for Country Album of the Year. He followed with the infectious Platinum-selling single "Tippin' Point" and dominated the Canadian Country charts with songs like "Lifted" and multi-week #1 hit "Wastin' Gas." The Vancouver, British Columbia native is the only Canadian male country artist to spend multiple weeks at the top of the Country Airplay Chart in the Nielsen BDS era for single "Wastin' Gas." Piling on the accolades, Smith was the 2015 JUNO Award winner for Country Album of the Year (LIFTED), and the CCMA Award winner for Album of the Year (LIFTED).
Produced by studio ace and long-time collaborator Joey Moi (Florida Georgia Line, Chris Lane), "SIDE EFFECTS" features 12 tracks, penned by some of country music's most popular songwriters including The Cadillac Three's Jaren Johnston who has written #1 songs for the likes of Tim McGraw and Keith Urban. The album showcases Smith's incredible range and confirms this is an artist who knows which lane he wants to be in – pushing forward and soaring ahead. First single (and Smith's first ballad), "Autograph" delivered unparalleled vocals – appealing to audiences far and wide. "Autograph" reached #1 on the Canadian Country Radio charts making Smith the only Canadian Country artist to have a #1 in 2016.
Rapidly growing his fan base in the U.S., Smith was named as an artist with "quite the following" by #CMChat who predicts that he will "be playing on more main stages in 2016." Rolling Stone Country praised, "Dallas dialed up the amplified noise" during his set at the Route 91 Harvest Music Festival in Las Vegas, marking him as "one of the weekend's most familiar faces." The seasoned performer has also been on The Huffington Post's radar as one of 15 Country Artists To Watch, highlighting his ability to draw crowds of more than 25,000 fans.
Can't wait for countrythundersk this summer! Who's comin?
I remember this show like it was last weekend. Shout-out to the @cavendishfest crowd for always bringing it.


KENILWORTH plan to give debuts to a number of new signings - including American stand-off David Burt - in Saturday's friendly against National League side Westcombe Park at Glasshouse Lane.
The Midlands One club are using the game as a trial and all players who turn up - existing senior squad members or new players - will figure in some way. Kick-off is 3pm and admission is free.
Kenilworth last played Park, from Kent, in the last 32 of the Intermediate Cup a few seasons ago and lost narrowly. The Orpington-based visitors are now in National Division Three South.
After a strong season at under-17 level, Kenilworth will be fielding a colts side for the time in three years.
The nucleus of the side will come from players now too old for the under-17s, who won 13 of their 15 games - including convincing victories over Rugby Lions and Broadstreet - last season, scoring 950 points and conceding a mere 89.
The development of the new side has been helped by sponsorship from both Quality Hotels and National Car Parks, and the Colts will work closely with the Midlands One club's 1st XV throughout the season.
With a tough fixture list, the team's ability will be pushed to the limits and new players interested in joining the Colts set-up should contact Doug Day on 01926 855810.

Q: iPhone How To: UIButtons That Disappear One By One at Set Interval I am creating a quiz game and I can't figure out the best way to implement UIButtons that disappear one by one at 3 second intervals. I can get the first UIButton to disappear after 3 seconds, but the subsequent UIButtons take considerably longer.
I believe the problem is that my code becomes more inefficient with each UIButton I make disappear. The following method is what I call with a repeating NSInterval to make each subsequent UIButton disappear:
-(void)hideButton
{
    int buttonNum;
while(buttonNum != -1)
{
    buttonNum = rand() % 5;

    if(buttonNum != [quiz correctNumber])
    {
        if(buttonNum == 0 && [buttonOne isEnabled] == YES)
        {
            [UIView beginAnimations:@"buttonFades" context:nil];
            [UIView setAnimationDuration:0.5];
            [buttonOne setEnabled:NO];
            [buttonOne setAlpha:0.0];
            [UIView commitAnimations];
        }
        else if(buttonNum == 1 && [buttonTwo isEnabled] == YES)
        {
            [UIView beginAnimations:@"buttonFades" context:nil];
            [UIView setAnimationDuration:0.5];
            [buttonTwo setEnabled:NO];
            [buttonTwo setAlpha:0.0];
            [UIView commitAnimations];
        }
        else if(buttonNum == 2 && [buttonThree isEnabled] == YES)
        {
            [UIView beginAnimations:@"buttonFades" context:nil];
            [UIView setAnimationDuration:0.5];
            [buttonThree setEnabled:NO];
            [buttonThree setAlpha:0.0];
            [UIView commitAnimations];
        }
        else if(buttonNum == 3 && [buttonFour isEnabled] == YES)
        {
            [UIView beginAnimations:@"buttonFades" context:nil];
            [UIView setAnimationDuration:0.5];
            [buttonFour setEnabled:NO];
            [buttonFour setAlpha:0.0];
            [UIView commitAnimations];
        }
        else if(buttonNum == 4 && [buttonFive isEnabled] == YES)
        {
            [UIView beginAnimations:@"buttonFades" context:nil];
            [UIView setAnimationDuration:0.5];
            [buttonFive setEnabled:NO];
            [buttonFive setAlpha:0.0];
            [UIView commitAnimations];
        }

        buttonNum = -1;
    }
}

}

A: When you have only, say, 2 buttons left, since you still generate a random number between 0 and 4, you only have a 20% chance of actually making one more button disappear -- 20% of the time you'll do nothing because the random number matches the correct one, and 60% of the time under those conditions you'll do nothing because it matches an already-disappeared button.
I suggest you keep an array initially populated with references the 4 buttons that may actually disappear (don't bother putting the correct-number one there as you'll never disappear it anyway). In your function, generate a random number that's between 0 and N-1 when you have N buttons left in that array, so you can disappear the appropriate button with effective and concise code -- then (if the button that disappeared was not the last one in the array) swap it with the last one and decrement N by one. Of course when N is 1 there's no need for the random number either.

A: Good answer from Alex Martelli.  Another possibility would be to replace the separate objects buttonOne, buttonTwo, etc. with a single array of buttons, button[5] and replace your big loop with this:
do {
   buttonNum = rand() % 5;
} while (buttonNum == [quiz correctNumber] || ![buttons[buttonNum] isEnabled]);

[buttons[buttonNum] setEnabled:NO]; // Doesn't need to be in animation block
[UIView beginAnimations:@"buttonFades" context:nil];
[UIView setAnimationDuration:0.5];
[buttons[buttonNum] setAlpha:0.0];
[UIView commitAnimations];

*** Dan, below: Something to randomize the order of the button hiding and make sure the correct answer was not hidden would still be needed, but otherwise that's a great solution too.

A: Another way of making the buttons disappear at set intervals is to use the
- (void)performSelector:(SEL)aSelector withObject:(id)anArgument afterDelay:(NSTimeInterval)delay

method.  To use this, you would define a function to make a button disappear when it is called:
-(void)hideButton:(UIButton *)button{
button.enabled = NO;
[UIView beginAnimations:@"buttonFades" context:nil];
[UIView setAnimationDuration:0.5];
[button setAlpha:0.0];
[UIView commitAnimations];
}

Then you would spit out those delayed selectors in a loop like this:
for(int i=0; i<numButtons; i++){
    [self performSelector:@selector(mySelector:) withObject:buttons[i] afterDelay:3*i+3]
}


Garrett, who made his first trip to New Hampshire in July, is excited to build on his 13th place finish. He expects the track conditions to be different since the national touring series will not be competing there this weekend.
A month has passed since the last time the KNPSE hit the track at Gateway Motorsports Park allowing team owner Sam Hunt a lot of time to reflect on the season so far and focus on the final two races.
Following New Hampshire this Saturday afternoon, the focus of the team will shift to the high banks of the Monster Mile in Dover, Delaware.
"I'm really excited to head to Dover. As tough as it is, I think it may end up suiting Colin's driving style as much as anywhere we've been this year. Once he gets through his first few laps and gets comfortable I think he'll be exceptional," Hunt said.
Dover has been marked on Garrett's calendar since he joined HSR. The Monster Mile is a track that he believes will favor into in driving style more than most because of the high banking and high speed.
Looking back on the season as a team owner, Sam Hunt couldn't be more proud of the dedication and effort of everyone involved with HSR.

President Reuven on Monday visited children from developing countries being treated for heart conditions through the 'Save a Child's Heart' at the Wolfson Medical Center in Holon, Israel.
'Save a Child's Heart' was established in 1995 to improve medical treatment for children from developing countries who suffer from cardiac conditions and to establish treatment centers in those countries.
The organization's medical staff gives life-saving cardiac treatment and medical care to children from developing countries, trains doctors and nurses from all around the world in Israel and sends surgical and teaching missions to partner countries.
"We often quote the saying 'he who saves a single life is as if he has saved the whole world'. Behind each heart is not just a child, but a family, friends and community – a whole world," said the president.
The organization "is a wonderful example of how Israeli excellence works together with our concern and sense of obligation towards humanity. Israel was once a developing country. We became the start-up nation because we needed these solutions," he added.

America will need the Almighty's unstinting favor if Donald Trump becomes our 45th President. Still, blessed be The Donald for running a demolition derby in the Republican primaries.
We need to be clear. There is no longer a Republican Party rooted in the main street highways and byways of America. What's left of it is not really even the xenophobic, nativist, crypto-racist flotsam and jetsam of the populist right that Trump is successfully calling to political arms.
The fact is, the GOP has mutated into the Warfare State party. Nestled comfortably in the Imperial City, it operates a plethora of special interest rackets which underwrite its incumbents' bi-annual electoral campaigns out in the provinces.
In a word, as the party of the Warfare State, the GOP's main business has become promoting the agenda, campaigns, machinations and glory of the Imperial City. Whenever its pro forma rhetoric about small government and fiscal prudence becomes inconvenient to the needs of the military/industrial/surveillance complex or the fund-raising requirements of its special interest rackets, the GOP's putative conservative economics platform quickly becomes "inoperative" in the Nixonian vernacular.
There is no better prototype for the new GOP than Senators Lindsay Graham and John McCain. Their agenda consists exclusively of promoting and superintending Washington's foreign projects, occupations, alliances and maneuvers. Cycling through Tel Aviv on a regular basis, showing up on the battlements of Kiev and lecturing the Chinese about maritime law in international waters, for example, they comically imitate the first century Roman Senators they fancy themselves to actually be.
In all, the GOP establishment has become an integral part of the Washington ruling class. It has no passion------only lip service-----for the anti-Washington predicate on which the party was founded.
Once upon a time, by contrast, the GOP actually stood for free markets, fiscal rectitude, hard money and minimalist government. Calvin Coolidge did a pretty good job of it. And even the unfairly besmirched Warren G. Harding got us out of the foreign intervention business----a path that the great Dwight D. Eisenhower pretty consistently hewed to under the far more challenging conditions of the cold war.
But these were sons of America's old school interior-----Massachusetts, Ohio and Kansas. As temporary sojourners in Washington, they remained incredulous and chary of grand state missions either at home or abroad.
Harding called it returning to "normalcy". Coolidge said Washington's business was to get out of the way. And Ike actually shrank the Warfare state by one-third, ended Truman's wars and started no new ones, resisted much of the Dulles' brother's interventionist agenda, balanced the budget and froze the New Deal as hard in place at he had the votes to achieve.
Today's Republican crowd bears no resemblance. They live in the capital, fully embrace its projects and pretensions and visit the provinces as sparingly as possible. And that's why The Donald has them so rattled, even petrified.
To be sure, there is much that is ugly, superficial and stupid about Donald Trump's campaign platform, if you can call it that, or loose cannon oratory to be more exact. More on that below, but at the heart of his appeal are two propositions which strike terror in the hearts of the Imperial City's GOP operatives.
That's why the War Party is so desperate, and why its last great hope is the bantam weight Senator from Florida. In truth, Marco Rubio is an obnoxious kid who wants to be President so he can play with guns, planes, ships and bombs. He is a pure creature of the Imperial City, even if at his young age he has idled there only since 2010.
The War Party in Washington and Tel Aviv has spent the last 30-years constructing a tissue of lies about the Iranian regime because both need an enemy in order to mobilize their domestic constituencies. The truth is that despite its theocratic rebuke of Imperial Washington after the bloody and thieving reign of the Shah was peacefully ended, the Iranians have never aspired to nuclear weapons, do not conduct a remote fraction of the terrorism inflicted by Washington's drones, bombs and cruise missiles, and have never threatened the safety and security of the American people.
In denouncing the Iranian accord, Rubio is loudly embracing Washington's 30-year tissue of lies about Iran and the destructive neocon foreign policy of which it is but one baleful extension.
So the good in The Donald at this juncture is that only he can stop Senator Marco Rubio. Only Trump's brash bombast can finally displace the toxic neocon ideology that has mutated the GOP into the handmaiden of the Warfare State.
But that's not right. The problem is bad policies and destructive ideas in the hands of Washington's career politicians who are extremely competent at orchestrating the machinery of the state against the liberty and prosperity of its citizens.
But don't pity the nation. Sadly, the people are getting what they deserve. They have allowed both political parties, the agencies of their democratic right to rule, to betray them with impunity.
And that's just as true of the Democrat party as the GOP. There is a dearth of new jobs in America today, for example, because the Democratic Party protects like a junkyard dog the single biggest agency of job destruction in the land.
To wit, the so-called foundation labor law in the form of the social security payroll tax, minimum wage and the NLRB. These relics of the 1930s New Deal remain the litmus tests for the Democrats' own brand of special interest racketeering------that is, kowtowing to the unions.
But in a global market that can mobilize labor from every rice paddy and remote hamlet on the planet, the protectionism afforded US industrial unions by the NLRB imperils the few manufacturing jobs that remain. At the same time, the minimum wage stops new service sector jobs from being born, while the myth of social insurance---including its second generation off-spring in Obamacare------always and everywhere pushes employers to artificially conserve labor and substitute capital and technology.
And, no, the solution is not to abolish social security and dump grandma in the snow. Instead, if the community organizer who stumbled into the White House on the strength of his anti-war rhetoric had not been wedded to the Democrat's mindless ideology of "social insurance", he could have abolished the $1.2 trillion per year payroll tax entirely-----the sledge hammer that beats down upon worker living standards day in and day out------ and replaced it with a 10% consumption tax.
Needless to say, in a nation where only 123 million of an adult population of 252 million work full time, we could do with less consumption and more labor hours and production----so we should tax the former, not the latter. Indeed, a nation which is getting older, fatter and dumber while watching television or trolling the internet eight hours per day, must do less shopping and keeping up with the Kardashians and more work------or it will end up in social and fiscal bankruptcy within a decade or so.
In fact, taxing the wealthy duffers who live on Florida's golf courses and collect $50,000 per year in medicare and social security benefits should have been a no brainer for the big thinker now incumbent in the White House. But when it comes to feeding the organized labor rackets, thinking has nothing to do with it.
Maybe The Donald's startling but palpable momentum toward the White House will have one saving grace. His relentless campaign against the "politicians" and the Washington money rackets may end up knocking the hypocritical stuffings out of both parties.

Hayley Matthews and Stacy-Ann King return for West Indies tour of Ireland and England
Kanika Parineeta
West Indies Women announced 14-member squad for the summer tour of Ireland and England, which starts from May 26 and all-rounder Hayley Matthews makes a comeback after injury break. Matthews had injured her knee during the Women's Big Bash League in Australia in December last year and missed Pakistan series in February earlier this year.
Also, left-hand batter Stacy-Ann King earned a recall in the national team after she impressed selectors in domestic 50-over and Twenty20 tournaments. The interim chairman of selectors, Robert Haynes said, "Stacy-Ann King's return to the West Indies Women's team to tour Ireland and England is no real surprise after her performance during the recently concluded Women's Super50 Cup and T20 Blaze tournaments. Her experience is very vital in this very crucial series against England, a series that we must win, so her ability to bowl good left-arm swing will be an added dimension to our bowling attack".
On the other hand, owing to their poor form, wicket-keeper Merissa Aguilleira and spinner Anisa Mohammed miss the team bus.
West Indies will play three Twenty20 Internationals on 26, 28 and 29 May against Ireland before leaving for England to play three one-day internationals as part of the ICC Women's Championships on 6, 9 and 13 June and three T20Is on 18, 21 and 25 June.
West Indies squad: Stafanie Taylor (c), Hayley Matthews (vc), Shemaine Campbelle, Deandra Dottin, Afy Fletcher, Chinelle Henry, Stacy-Ann King, Kycia Knight (wk), Kyshona Knight, Natasha McLean, Chedean Nation, Karishma Ramharack, Shakera Selman, Shamilia Connell

FEC Approves Bitcoin In-Kind Donations for US Political Campaigns

Updated May 20, 2014 at 17:32 UTC
The US Federal Election Commission (FEC) has determined that political campaigns and political action committees (PACs) may accept bitcoin as a form of in-kind donation under current federal election laws.
The FEC previously delayed a decision on a request for clarification from Make Your Laws (MYL) – an organisation that facilitates political contributions – which sought guidance on how it could go about accepting and using bitcoin donations, as well as general rules for handling digital currencies.
In its draft report, the FEC tracks closely with comments made previously by the commission's leadership regarding the potential for bitcoin to be qualified as a type of in-kind donation.
The decision mirrors a proposal dating from November 2013, when the FEC explored the idea of treating bitcoin donations as in-kind contributions.
In the report, the commission wrote:
"The initial receipt of bitcoins as contributions, regardless of subsequent disposition, should be reported like in-kind contributions."
Bitcoins use for campaigns
Under US law, most campaign contributions must be deposited into a campaign bank depository 10 days after receipt.
In the case of stocks, bonds or pieces of artwork, however, a campaign or action committee may hold that asset for longer than 10 days. Once that asset is liquidated, the proceeds must then be placed into a campaign depository. The same applies for digital currency:
"Like securities that a political committee may receive into and hold in a brokerage account, bitcoins may be received into and held in a bitcoin wallet until the committee liquidates them."
The FEC also determined that campaigns are required to adhere to existing guidelines for reporting the receipt or sale of bitcoins. This includes collecting personal information from any donor.
MYL also sought guidance on the sale and disbursements of bitcoins. The FEC concluded that, according to US federal election laws, a campaign or PAC may purchase bitcoins for the purpose of investment, but that they cannot be disbursed from the organization. Disbursement can only take place if the bitcoins are sold and the proceeds are placed in a campaign depository.
Bitcoin donations increasing
The FEC decision was not unexpected, as several political campaigns in the US have moved to accept bitcoin contributions.
Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott started taking bitcoin donations in April and his campaign has been treating these contributions as in-kind, according to state and federal law.
Other federal lawmakers, such as Representative Steve Stockman, have also welcomed bitcoin donations.
Uncertainty prior to the FEC's release has resulted in some state-based election regulators to postpone their own decisions on bitcoin donations.
Earlier this week, a Wisconsin alderman running for state office returned a $100 bitcoin donation after the Government Accountability Board opted to not set a policy on the matter before the FEC could weigh in.
