Celebrating 5 Years: Happy Birthday Vancity Buzz!
Today, Vancity Buzz turns five years old.
Thank you for five amazing years
On July 22, 2008, Vancity Buzz was created in a South Vancouver basement by childhood friends Karm Sumal and Manny Bahia. They began with writing about topics of interest including developments, sports and politics. Their early mission was to highlight the positives of Vancouver, a world-class city in their minds. Growth was slow the first year, but Sumal and Bahia stayed persistent with consistent and diversified content.
Covering everything from the little guy to major events that shape Vancouver has led Vancity Buzz to where it is today. Beginning as an online publication by just two people, our team is now comprised of 30 (and growing) passionate Vancouverites from very diverse sets of backgrounds and interests.
Our dedication to social media has spurred a loyal Vancouver following and relayed content to the masses. To date, Vancity Buzz has published nearly 8,800 articles, received 54,000+ comments, achieved a regular readership of 1 million page views per month and attained a powerful social media following with 42,000+ Twitter followers and 17,000+ Facebook page likes.
As its most significant change to date, Vancity Buzz re-launched its website on June 24, 2013 given that it had evolved, found its voice and fully outgrown its former blog format.
Where we are today would not be possible without you, our readers. Whether you have been reading Vancity Buzz for years or you are just joining us now, we're just getting started. This is our promise.
Here's to another five amazing years, Vancouver!
Our All-Time Favourite Articles
After great debate at Vancity Buzz HQ, we compiled a list of our 5 favourite articles.
1. Vancouver Complex. Living in an expensive city has its consequences. We attempt to break down the perception of why Vancouverites aren't that social.
2. BIG Tower at Pacific and Howe. We were the first to break the story (a full week before other outlets picked up on it) of a groundbreaking building set to be built in Vancouver. Then weeks later, we got our hands on a handful of images that went viral. Talking about real estate is something we love to do and in the coming months we have a few surprises in store.
3. Around Town with Caley Dimmock. This was the most difficult to choose from, however, it represents something important we do at Vancity Buzz and that is photo editorials. These take a long time to put together and we put out 6 to 8 a month. We are blessed to be working with such great talent. (see also our Men of Vancouver and our new Women of Vancouver features)
4. UBC a City In Itself, In Process of Complete Transformation. We offer varied content, a lot of it is quick and up to the minute information, but once a week, minimum, we push out large editorials that you can take your time reading while enjoying a beverage of your choice.
5. Gastown Named 4th Most Stylish Neighbourhood. In Vancouver, people have a tendancy to complain a lot. Even if we receive an accolade worthy of praise, the eternal pessimists come out swinging, denouncing the validity of any ranking in which Vancouver does well. This article in particular caught many by surprise, however, those that venture to Gastown regularly know what a melting pot of creativity it is.


The Hasselblad Moto Mod, a camera module that we all anticipated would launch alongside the Moto Z and Moto Z Force, but didn't, has been spotted in promotional material ahead of a possible unveiling at next week's IFA in Berlin. According to the material, this upcoming Moto Mod will feature 10x optical zoom, Xenon flash, a RAW shooting option, and quite a bit more.
Also stated on the promo material, the mod will come with a physical shutter and zoom button for usability ease, as well as easy sharing of photos/videos taken. Whether this will require additional software for the mod remains to be seen.
Lastly, we see "Backup automatically." We can only assume that this means every time you snap a photo, the image is saved either on the cloud or possibly to an account you specify on the device. On a separate note, don't forget, Google Photos is a good place to automatically backup your photos.
Depending on the price, which probably won't be cheap, this could be a very cool addition to the Moto Z. Do we have any Moto Z or Moto Z Force owners here hoping to get their hands on one of these Mods?


In September 2017 Wickersley Parish Council decided to prepare a Neighbourhood Plan for the entire civic parish area. Wickersley is a popular place to live, work and visit and, as a result is subject to considerable pressures for new housing development and changes to the village centre. Therefore, it was considered important for the local community to have the opportunity to produce a plan that would help ensure that Wickersley develops in the future in a way that reflects the aspirations of local people and the particular characteristics of Wickersley.
The Neighbourhood Plan has to comply with national planning guidance and the Rotherham Local Plan. This means that it cannot determine the amount of housing to be built in Wickersley. However, it can influence the type, design, style and size of housing that Wickersley receives so that it responds to the needs of local people. It can also influence the mix of uses in the village centre and cover issues such as heritage, open spaces, community facilities and local economic development. In this way, it will ensure that the particular needs and character of Wickersley are respected.
Please visit the website of our Neighbourhood Plan here.
The Neighbourhood Plan has to be taken into account when planning applications are considered by Rotherham MBC so it will be an important document.
While the Parish Council will have overall responsibility for producing the plan, it is very important that it reflects the views and aspirations of the whole community. Following initial publicity in the autumn, a Steering Group was set up to oversee the plan preparation. This includes community representatives as well as Parish Councillors. A planning and design consultancy, Integreat Plus has also been appointed to provide expert help. A government grant has been applied for to pay for this.
Following this consultation, evidence will be gathered to help develop local policies and design guidance. Once a draft plan has been produced, it will go out to a 6 week consultation period before submission to Rotherham MBC. The plan is then subject to an independent examination and if the examiner recommends that the plan can proceed it is put out to a local referendum of the local community. It will then be adopted if the majority vote in favour.
Preparation of the plan is a fairly lengthy process but we would hope to complete it within 18 to 24 months. See the Neighbourhood Plan Journey, which highlights when public consultation and involvement will take place.

Is Trump too incompetent to be fascist? A coffeehouse conversation
Setting: Many years ago, Douglas Hofstadter wrote "A Coffeehouse Conversation" to work out the complicated ideas behind the Turing Test. Today, four liberal friends gather at that same fictional coffeehouse. It had been shuttered by the pandemic, and now reopened under new rules: socially distant tables outdoors; servers wear masks and face shields; sanitizer is available at every table. The sanitizer is in decorative mint green jars, but for the friends who gather around the knotty-wood-paned tables, the pandemic is never far from their minds.
David is a graphic artist. He thinks Trump is delusional.
Nancy is a librarian at a middle school. Her job brings her in contact with Trump supporters every day.
Fred is retired after a varied life of being a long-distance trucker and a software engineer, among other jobs.
Amy works for an undisclosed employer at an undisclosed location.
A Coffeehouse Conversation
David (flings down phone with Twitter open): Man, I can't believe this guy. If you do more tests, you'll have more cases? He's delusional. An idiot. No wonder we have the worst Covid response in the developed world.
Nancy: "Idiot"? I wouldn't call a guy who won the presidency against all odds an idiot. The problem with us liberals is that we underestimate him. He won when no one thought he could; took over the entire Republican Party out of nowhere. He may talk like a fool, but he knows his way around.
David: That's just the "I'm president, you're not" idea. Sure, he became president. He has no shame and he's racist. Half the country will follow any racist clown without shame. That doesn't make him a genius. What was that phrase Hillary used? A bucket? A basket? He found a bucket of marks. Now he's ruining them with Covid and unemployment.
Nancy (pulling up the Real Clear Politics webpage on her phone): And yet, they are solidly behind him. Look—37% are still in his corner. Perhaps you should broaden your mind. He is giving them something that your analysis doesn't account for.
David (mutters under his breath): Cult.
Amy: I see your point, Nancy. He is more strategic than we give him credit for. But let me ask you this. How does it help him or his supporters to politicize masks? How does it help him to make his own base suffer by mismanaging the pandemic? That's not strategic, that's dumb. If all he had done is worn a mask from the start of the pandemic, the country would be doing better, and he would have been sailing to re-election.
Nancy (quietly): He can still win. I think he will win. People will come out of the woodwork to vote for him.
Amy: Of course, of course, he may win. But that doesn't change the fact that it would have been easier for him to win if he handled the testing properly. That's not strategic. He seems to have been delusional about Covid. He thought it would just go away.
David: No kidding! It's going to just disappear. Only fifteen cases. That's a great job we've done. Him and his advisers—all walking off the cliff, with the rest of us tied to them.

Fred (impatiently): I can't believe this. After four years of Trump, none of you get what he is doing. Everyone misreads him. How are we going to handle this threat if no one even gets his playbook?
The other three look at him. A pause while they watch Fred stir his coffee, agitated.
Amy: Please say more. What do you mean?
Fred: Look. Let's say you watch someone play a board game. If you don't know how it works, their moves are confusing and bewildering. But if you know the rules of the game, you can tell exactly what they're doing and what their next three, four, five, moves will be. Trump isn't playing "win the election" the normal way. He's playing fascism. And his moves fit exactly, exactly, that playbook. Create a false reality. Turn reality on its head. Create chaos. Tell people their enemy is China. Or liberals. Or doctors. Then, you will win.
An uncomfortable silence. The other three speak up simultaneously.
David: What do you mean, he will win? How does that equal winning?
Nancy: Oh, please. We call every Republican president a fascist.
Amy: Do you think he will delay the election like he said on Twitter?
Fred (turning to Nancy): Do you still doubt it? He has unmarked paramilitary tear-gassing moms in Portland. They gassed the mayor, and instead of apologizing he bragged about it! Fascism is like Covid—it doesn't care if you believe in it or not. It's coming for you.
Amy (rubbing her chin): I'm not one of those that thinks it can't happen here. I've seen the seeds of fascism being sown here, and the GOP has been useless at controlling him. But here's my issue—how does he pull it off? He doesn't have the power to delay or cancel the elections, and he still has to leave on January 20th. Sure, he can stop testing so the numbers don't go up, but people are getting sick and dying of Covid. People are losing their jobs. They're going to blame him. He's the president.
Fred: Not if he can get them to blame China instead. Or Democrats. Or both! Have you noticed how he is trying to pin Biden as soft on China? Look, fascists aren't competent. Not even Hitler made the trains run on time. They create chaos, and keep people in a state of misery, on purpose. That is their engine-fuel.
David: Look, guys, you're taking the ravings of a madman too seriously. He's panicking and he has dementia on top of it. This is why he's speaking of delaying the election. Not only can he not do it, none of the Republicans went along with it. Just vote! Vote in large numbers.

Amy (holding up her hands): Wait wait. I think we actually have the germ of a theory here that can be proven or disproven. David, I think your position is clear. You believe that—
David: I think he is delusional. He is a narcissist, and people around him praise him and never tell him the truth. They tell him he is popular; they tell him the virus will be gone. Of course he wants to delay the election. Narcissists don't like to be shown up. We should ignore him, and get to work registering voters.
Nancy: Can I participate? I think logic is the wrong yardstick with which to judge Trump. He is all emotion and make-believe. He portrays reality the way he wills it: the virus will be gone. The boaters love him. This sort of thing is what makes him a good salesman. And the resentment he feels against the elite—that's real. When he portrays himself and his followers as the real Americans—willing the elites out of the picture—that's how he wins the devotion of his supporters. He channels their distress, their disappointment.
Amy: OK, so we've got David's theory: narcissist, delusional old fool surrounded by yesmen. Nancy's theory: that it is all about emotion and make-believe, a bit like Santa Claus or Willie Wonka I suppose? And that he channels the disappointment of his supporters. And Fred?
Fred: What is this nonsense about make-believe and emotion? The man is a liar. He's not Willie Wonka or Santa Claus, he's a liar! And he doesn't channel "disappointment"—I can't tell you how much I detest this soft-pedaling—he channels his supporters' rage! Their rage and envy at having lost their dominance in the American narrative. And the idea that he's panicking—sure, he's panicking! That's basically the recipe for making a fascist: weak, panicking, narcissistic, desperate men.
Amy (rapping on the table): OK, OK, theory, Fred! What's your theory of the case?
Fred: OK, here's my theory. You don't like plain language? Fine, I won't call him a liar. He is mendacious. He is deceptive. When we think to ourselves, "what an idiot," invariably behind the scenes there's some evildoing, some machinations involved. He's not delusional. He's fascist! There's a difference. His lies have a purpose: it is to get people to repeat them, unthinkingly. It is to get media to treat them seriously. Pretty soon you have chaos, confusion, disorder: the engine-fuel of fascism. You want my theory? Here's my theory. He's a cold-blooded, deliberate, fascist.
Amy: OK. So how are we going to decide? Let's take some examples…remember the time he sent Sean Spicer out to lie about his inauguration crowds? How do these theories interpret that?
Nancy: Look, his identity and his supporters' identity is tied up in being the "real" Americans. How deeply disappointed they must have been to see that his crowds were smaller than their most hated president, Obama? It hurt them deeply. It would have hurt them deeply—except once again, Trump gave them a life-raft to cling to, a world of make-believe and lights-and-sounds magic, where his crowds were larger. Santa Claus. People love Santa.
David: Hmph, slightly tough one. I don't think he was directly delusional, as in, he thought his crowds were actually larger than Obama's; but he was meta-delusional. In other words, he was delusional that his lies would suffice to make people think his crowds were larger. He sent Spicer out to lie with great emphasis [David brings his fist down on the table] as though the stronger he lied the more he could convince people.
Fred: Straightforward for me. His crowds were smaller, he wanted them to be bigger, so he lied. He has done this all his life.
Amy: But wait, wait. This is where the simple "cold-blooded liar" theory has a few problems for me. Isn't it a bit delusional, as David suggests, to think that a mere lie would pull the wool over people's eyes? I mean we have photographs from the event.
Fred (confidently): Fake news.
Amy: I mean, there were reporters at the event. People saw it.
Fred: Your point is that his lie was found out, correct? Did you notice that he didn't weep and rend his garments and apologize for lying? No. The bullshit train keeps on going. Photographs? Fake news. Reporters at the event? Fake news. His inauguration was larger. Period! His minions will all repeat it, his supporters will sit back confident that he is more popular, and the rest of us are flailing holding on to our precious "truth".
A long pensive silence.
Amy (carefully): You know, I do think you're all saying the same thing. Hear me out. It's like the Necker cube. You're focusing on different aspects but it's really the same thing. Nancy's world of make-believe is the same as Fred's bullshit train. Fred is calling it lies and Nancy is seeing it as soft-focused escapism for his masses. And David—I really do believe you're saying the same thing too, David. You're not saying he's straight up delusional in the sense he thinks his crowds were larger, correct? You're saying he's delusional in that he thinks his lies actually have power over people.
Fred: And there's the rub. Do his lies work? Do you guys remember what Bill Barr said in one of his interviews? That history is written by the victors. And if they win—as they are trying their darndest to do—it won't be a simple change of government. It will take over our narratives; our mental models; our history textbooks. People of the future will remember Trump as a hero whose inauguration crowds were the largest in history.
Amy: Ah…Schrodinger's Trump. If we open the box in November 2020 and he has lost, David will have been retroactively proven correct: he was delusional about his ability to deceive. And if he has won, Fred will retroactively be proven correct: far from being delusional, he will have created a new fascist reality where Trump is the hero with the largest crowds.
Nancy: I confess I'm sort of fascinated by this topic. Let's work through a few more examples.
Fred: I have a good one. Remember the Access Hollywood tape? I'll always think of Trump as the guy who apologized for it on national TV and a couple years later denied it was his voice. Straight up denied it! He had already apologized for it. What was that? Delusion?
David: Meta-delusion. He was delusional in that he thought simply lying would wipe the slate clean and people would forget that they had actually heard his voice. Not a single person believes his bullshit.
Nancy: His followers have created a myth of infallibility around him. He was restoring that myth; once he says "it's not me," his supporters can keep their myth alive. They get a lot of emotional benefit from that myth.
Fred: No. Guys, it was lies. Repeat after me: l-i-e-s. And David, is it really delusional for him to think his lies will work? As Nancy says, his followers will cling to the myth that the voice on the Access Hollywood tape isn't his once he says it isn't. There: problem solved, his followers remain faithful—his deluded troops, armed to the teeth, who will go to war to preserve his power if needed.
Amy: Schrodinger's Trump once again: delusional if his ploy to stay in power doesn't work, a coldly rational fascist if it does. OK. But I've got other examples. Remember when he fired Comey? His advisers came up with elaborate lies to tell about the rationale for the firing. But then he went and blurted it out on cable TV. He blurted out that it was because of Russia, and he got the Mueller investigation out of it. If he was so strategic, why would he do that?
David: Great example. He couldn't keep his mouth shut about a lie they all workshopped together—he has no filter.
Fred: No. Once again, you're misreading him. Was he going to go with the small, solitary lie about why Comey was fired? No, Trump doesn't do small. He went big. Yes, dammit, he ordered the Code Red! He fired Comey because of the Russia investigation—because the entire investigation was illegitimate. Now because of the full court press on that lie, you have almost half the country thinking that the Russia investigation was some kind of hoax and that Comey is a criminal. If Comey is indicted on bogus charges they will cheer. You tell me—would he have been smarter to cover up the real reason, creating a sort of Watergate-tapes type of hunt for the secret reason, and scandal if it is found—or was he smarter to blurt it out, as you say, and discredit the entire thing?
Amy: Nancy?
Nancy: I honestly don't know what to think. What was Comey up to? Some say nothing good. I'm going to take a pass on that one.
Fred: Aha! See? It worked. I rest my case.
David: OK. I'll grant you, Fred, that he has fascist intentions. I see that now. But I think he's too dumb to pull it off. He tries, yes, but he doesn't think things through. Take this for instance: for weeks he's been casting doubt on mail-in balloting. I think we all understand why—a low turnout because of Covid is his only shot at winning. But Democrats don't listen to him, Republicans do! So Republican activists are freaking out—their voters aren't asking for ballots, while Democrats are. This does not help him. It's dumb.
Source: "What is Schrodinger's Cat and can I pet him" (ScienceMe.com)
Amy: I don't think Schrodinger's Trump is out of the box yet. Is he too dumb, or are we headed to a fascist state? What say you, Fred? Is he shooting himself in the foot with yelling about mail-in ballots because he's an incompetent fascist?
Fred: Funny that you should bring up mail ballots. I just read yesterday that mail ballots represent a particular threat to anyone trying to rig the election because they leave a paper trail.
Nancy: So wait what are you saying…are you saying…are you saying he would rig the election?
Fred: He talks to Putin every couple weeks and no one knows what they talk about. Putin tried to rig voter rolls in 2016. Mail ballots are tough to rig!
Another uncomfortable silence ensues.
Amy: OK, I see the rationale, but wasn't that still dumb, though? Rick Wilson said that mail ballots are the Republicans' secret sauce. They bank them early. Ultimately, we will all decide at the ballot box and he's hurting himself there. I'm starting to come down on the sided of "too delusional to be fascist".
Fred (shaking his head): Wow…your faith amazes me, truly. Decide at the ballot box? Guys, there is a purpose to delegitimizing mail ballots. Consider this scenario: most polling stations shut down because of the pandemic. Paramilitary forces have been sent out to intimidate voters at the rest. The crony he appointed as head of USPS has slowed mail down to a crawl. Many mail ballots will be invalidated for absurd reasons. Others will take weeks to arrive. Meanwhile, he has already promoted the idea that mail equals fraud. On election night, he declares himself the winner because there's no point counting the fraudulent mail ballots. What happens then? Here's what happens. His propaganda media declares victory for Trump. Our "normal" media both-sides it: Trump says this, Democrats say that. This is how fascism wins. Propaganda on one side, cowardice on the other.
Amy (turning to Nancy): Nancy, you deal with Trump supporters at your job. What do you think happens if state election officials are waiting for all the mail ballots to come in, but Trump declares victory?
Nancy (uncomfortably): I think most will follow him.
Fred (turning to David): Well, David? Still think he's too dumb to be fascist?
Amy: OK, let's work through another one. This one is a doozy. Covid. Look at us. 150k dead. I mean, it's been a disaster. Americans are not allowed into any other country for travel. It's humiliating! He wanted to build a wall to keep others out; the world has built a wall to keep us out. People are suffering, and they are blaming him. The polls show it. And for what? He could have done just the bare minimum and he would have been a hero. Just model wearing a mask for god's sake.
David (interjecting): He can't, there's all that orange make-up to protect.
Amy (continuing): Handle the testing nationally. I mean he doesn't have to do it personally, he has smart people around him—just let them do it. Give people some money, they are hurting. I just don't understand. These aren't difficult steps and it could help him win! [Amy rubs her temples.]
Nancy: It's true. I know a lot of people who have been disappointed. They are scared. Everyone knows someone who…. They thought he was strong. They thought he was on their side.
David: I think he's too incompetent to handle something like a pandemic. I really do.
Amy: Even when it would help him win! Even if he's a selfish, cynical bastard, he could have done this.
The three others turn to Fred expectantly. Fred stares moodily at a distant potted tree.
Fred: I think there's a misunderstanding afoot. The word "fascist" doesn't mean some kind of hyper-competent, cynical, selfish type. I mean, most—all—politicians are cynical and occasionally competent. This is different. Trump is like a predator. Things like helping others don't occur to him. Solving national problems—he doesn't do solving national problems, OK? He doesn't do competence. Think of a tiger, OK? Think of a tiger in front of an ant colony. Is the tiger thinking of how to help the ant colony, live together in peace? No! That's not his nature. The tiger is thinking, how to hunt them, use them, crush them. How to create discord, division, how to grab power, how to blame. That's where his mind goes. His method of winning the Covid challenge is not about defeating the virus. It is about controlling information. That's what fascists do.
David: I don't know. The Trump I know, and we see everyday, talks like an idiot, is an idiot. He can barely get a sentence out of mouth without rambling. These concepts seem so…complicated. Controlling information…slowing down mail…it's strategic. I still don't see him as a strategic master-mind, sorry.
Fred: There's your mistake. When you have the sort of feral cunning that Trump has, these moves are obvious. They don't require "strategery" [Fred makes air quotes]. At every point, attack the foundations of the very thing you feel threatened by. That's it. Brick-by-brick, you unravel the structure, and attack people who try to stop you. It's relentless, like a tank. A tank doesn't take strategy.
Nancy: Sorry, guys. Got distracted while you were talking. A friend who voted for Trump sent me this article from Vanity Fair…she is so angry! The article says that he and Jared deliberately scuttled the national testing plan because they thought it was a blue state problem…they thought they could blame Democratic governors.
Fred: See what I mean? A fascist looks at a problem like Covid and thinks, how can I use this for my personal gain?
Nancy: She's done with Trump. I'm so amazed! She's stuck with Trump through thick and thin, we've had multiple debates…she stopped talking to me during impeachment. But she lost her older cousin to Covid. She lives in California.
David: People forget that California has more Republican voters than any other state.
Nancy: But she is done with Trump. Look at her text! [Nancy holds up her phone so the others can read it.]
Amy (slowly): Something you said, Fred…you said that fascists attempt to control information. Imagine if he had succeeded at that…if people like Nancy's friend's relative died and they thought he died of pneumonia. And she still thought Covid was a hoax. Without the press….
Fred: Without the press, we are dead in the water, no question. With the press, we have a shot. It's very dicey. Look, since before he became president he has had one clear message: if you break the law for me I will protect you. He is expecting his off-the-books soldiers to go to war for him and save the presidency for him. If we don't understand this, we are living in fantasy and we will lose. It's not only about the ballot-box.
Amy: It seems to me that if leaders choose fascism, they foreclose other avenues. The more he looks at us like a predator would—driven by fear and weakness and panic, perhaps, but still, as a tiger looks at an ant colony—the less likely a normal victory becomes. Then a fascist takeover is his only chance, and…clearly, he wants this very much.
Fred: Agreed. You tell me: is a panicked tiger more dangerous or less? Winning through fascism becomes his only hope and he has a certain feral cunning at that. Defeating his propaganda war is our only hope, and we…well, it remains to be seen.
Late in the afternoon when the sun is casting long shadows, a server comes in and clears the table, leaving a pensive group sitting around it in silence.

waviness index between the fibers from near the outer (1.
The corresponding three statistical characteristics: texture, waviness and roughness for Profiles 1 and 2 are shown in Fig.
The waviness is found to induce swirling at larger Reynolds numbers in the flow, which consequently boosts heat and mass transfer significantly.
Surface waviness is defined as the intermediate wavelength components produced by the machining process, including any deviations from the ideal waviness profile.
The measured surface waviness, flop, and lightness were analyzed for correlation to application process parameters.
The surface texture component, varying along the horizontal direction, is called waviness when the changes are slow, and roughness when changes are more rapid.
The technology features a laser scanning sensor that extracts the surface form and waviness data in one scan, providing new metrology capability to improve the production's process quality and performance.
Those four components are: form, the true geometry of the piece; waviness, from machine movement; primary microroughness, a fingerprint of the manufacturing method; and secondary microroughness, high-frequency roughness caused by the cutting tool.
The new grade is said to produce a more precise corrugated outer layer and when used as a pipe inner layer, to eliminate sink marks and chips and to reduce the potential waviness on the inner surface.
25 mm cutoff mainly used in our previous experiments and eliminates more components considered as low frequency waviness of the topography.


However, Monopoly Deal is not our only skill. We are masters of "getting over and getting through." For over ten years we have seen life through four lives—and it hasn't always been pretty. Put four very diverse women with the same passion for writing into the same writing environment and life is going to intrude on a regular basis. Michelle has had two babies and home schools. Her nice quiet and unaffecting demeanor has seen her through trauma and joy—and we were fortunate enough to share the experience.
Pat had major surgery after years of illness—and through it all travelled, ate, wrote and—most importantly laughed with us. Susan faced the loss of her mother—the "moving on with life" of her children and a church ever ravenous for her wonderful desserts. And Bev, let's just say she's another story.
So "getting over and getting through" is really our mantra. Whatever comes up seems to be "doable" in this group. But it's always done with laughter and generally with good will. Prompts are aggravating, but our writing group isn't.
And prompts only jar something that already exists. If it is a prompt about a dreary Saturday makes us contemplate how we felt at present, how we have felt about something in the past, or we launch into fiction, that possibly needed to come out for one reason or another.
Prompts, while daunting or intimidating or fear-inducing, are tools that we have used for well over a decade to stir something in us that we love having stirred.
It is an incredible feeling to stare at the blank page with what seems like a ridiculous phrase or sentence at the top and then, thirty minutes later have anywhere from one to five pages of words filling up the white space.
Like today for example. We were not in the mood. That is not an uncommon tale. Sadly it is really familiar. And yet here we are, forty minutes later, we will have written on four different topics following story lines began by one of our co-members, and pulled something out when we thought nothing was there.
That sums up the purpose of forcing to write a prompt. We learn we can write. Writing is a part of us. Every day-at the ready. Regardless of how it feels or seems.
So what do you think of this? You never know what you can get from brain to pen when you are forced to start writing. Do you have any stories to share about when writing has been difficult or it helped you through a hard time? We'd love to hear from you!
Next time we will hear from Bev, how she started her no-prompt and how the rest of us continued on.

Badal Goel, CEO and Founder at Frsh has been less heard about; he is one who believes in doing and making a noise. At this months Growthtalk event we got a chance to hear and learn about his pivots, perseverance and persistence.
We had an intense discussion on food startups — both full stack as well as marketplace model, covered the pros and cons of running such a business and each one shared his own experience in running a similar business or the current scenario.
No one talks about pivots right in the middle of it until it really begins to work. The founders of Frsh, Khaana & Foodpost, to name a few, opened their heart in sharing the other side of running a food business!
We talked about the scary part too (the hard decisions that don't pay off soon and the rationale behind such decisions, the relationship with investors once such decisions are made and things that are behind the scenes, things that are hardly written in media! And of course the unit economics around delivery, packaging and emphasis on quality. It is something that entrepreneurs are better prepared today to face the future. How many stand the test of time, we have to wait and watch. Till then, keep enjoying the awesome food served each day!
Thank you Badal and each one for being part of an intense evening!
GrowthTalks is one of our most successful series that we host on third Sunday of each month. If you are a fellow founder or thinking to start up, then do join us for an engaging and enriching fireside chat in the next edition by signing up here.

Manchester restaurants
The best restaurants in Manchester - our guide to eating out
From Michelin star contenders to cheap eats, we've got every budget, occasion and cuisine covered
Emily Heward
Updated 10:28, 19 NOV 2018
Subscribe to our daily What's On newsletter to keep up with what's happening around Greater Manchester
Despite what recent high profile restaurant closures would lead you to believe, there have never been more places to eat out in Manchester.
New openings have outstripped closures at a rate that exceeds anywhere else in the country, including London, over the last five years - giving diners more choice than ever before.
That Michelin star may still be dangling out of reach but, with or without one, Manchester's food offering has never been richer, with an influx of interesting independents leading the charge in recent years.
Whether you're looking for a bargain bite to eat or are happy to splash the cash on a ten-course taster menu, there is something to suit every occasion and budget - and the options span almost every cuisine conceivable.
Confronted with so much choice, deciding where to book a table can be tricky, so we've put together this guide to help you out.
Read on for our round-ups of the best burgers, Italian food and pizzas, curry houses, Chinese restaurants, Thai places and much, much more.
We've also thrown in some of our critics' choices, and this year's Manchester Food and Drink Festival Awards winners, which are always a great gauge of the city's hottest restaurants.
The best burgers in Manchester
Red's True Barbecue's donut burger
The burger boom may be dying down but Manchester hasn't lost its appetite for a pimped-up patty.
From indie trailblazers like Almost Famous and Solita to chains like Byron and Five Guys, we're spoilt for choice.
Here's our guide to Manchester's burger joints.
The best pizzas in Manchester
Rudy's (Image: .facebook.com/RudysPizzaMcr)
Once limited to a handful of high street chains, the choice of pizzerias in Manchester has risen more quickly than a sourdough base in recent years.
We've even got two pizzerias listed among the best pizza in the world: Rudy's and Honest Crust.
There are plenty more places doing pizza properly, too. We've rounded up Manchester's best pizza here for you.
The best Indian restaurants and curry houses in Manchester

Manchester is indisputably the curry capital of the north - we've got a whole MILE of the stuff in Rusholme.
But it's an exciting time in particular for the city centre, where the Indian dining options just keep getting better and better.
From old school curry houses to street food upstarts, loosen your waistbands and dive in to our selection of the best Indian restaurants in Manchester.
The best Italian restaurants in Manchester

It's a common grumble that Manchester has too many Italian restaurants, but we say you can never have too much of a good thing.
With an influx of new independents snapping at the heels of the established big names, the city's Italian food scene has never been better.
From the rustic simplicity of places like The Pasta Factory and Rudy's to the razzmatazz of Rosso and San Carlo, the city has no shortage of pizzerias, pasta bars and restaurants catering to every taste and budget.
Here are a few of our favourite places to eat Italian in and around the city.
The best Spanish restaurants in Manchester
Ham croquettes served at Iberica (Image: Eddie Garvey)
Time was, the best bet for getting a really good Spanish meal in Manchester was to head to the airport and get on a low-cost plane to actual Spain.
The last couple of years has seen a huge increase in the quality - and quantity - of Spanish food in Manchester. Dependable local forerunners such as Evuna and El Rincon De Rafa have been joined by some seriously good city centre stablemates - and there are some absolute gems out in the suburbs too.
We've rounded up the best Spanish restaurants Greater Manchester has to offer.
The best Chinese restaurants in Manchester
With the third-largest Chinatown in Europe, it's no surprise that Manchester has plenty of Chinese restaurants to choose from.
Those in and around the famous Faulkner Street arch are the places to go for the most authentic cuisine (chicken feet and jellyfish noodles, anyone?) while flashier establishments such as Wing's (Louis Van Gaal's favourite restaurant, don't you know) and the ultra-glamorous Tattu cater to more Western tastes.
Here are 10 of our favourite Chinese restaurants from both ends of the spectrum.
The best Thai restaurants in Manchester
(Image: Chaophraya/Thaikhun)
Fresh, spicy and packed with flavour, Thai food is a real joy when done right.
What's more comforting than a huge bowl of pad Thai, or a spicy tom yum?
Thankfully, proper Thai joints are getting easier to find in Manchester - and we've rounded up the best Thai restaurants here.
One is based in a supermarket. One is hosted by a cross-dressing singer who serenades you with Shirley Bassey songs. All of them serve up fresh and flavoursome Thai cuisine that you'll love.
The best gastropubs in and around Manchester
Albert Square Chop House
Pub grub has come a long way since the days when pickled eggs and pork scratchings were all you could buy with your pint (although we're pretty partial to those too).
There's a great selection of gastropubs in and around Greater Manchester, serving up everything from Sunday roasts to inventive, modern British dishes.
The Michelin guide rates The White Hart at Lydate in Saddleworth, The Old Bell in Delph and Oddfellows in Mellor as the best in the region.
If you don't mind a bit of a drive, we've got a few more suggestions in our list of country gastropubs within an hour of Manchester city centre.
If you're looking for a friendly pub with a fire to warm up by in winter, you'll also find good food served at most of these cosy pubs in Manchester.
Manchester's best breakfast and brunch spots
Northern Quarter institution Koffee Pot's new home in Oldham Street
Whether it's a full English to take the edge off the night before or an indulgent boozy brunch with friends, few things start the day off better than a really good breakfast.
We've gathered some of the best breakfast and brunch in Manchester to suit every taste and occasion.
If you're making an occasion of it, why not treat yourself to one of these bottomless brunch deals? For a set price, you can fill your face with unlimited food and booze. UNLIMITED. Basically the all-you-can-eat-and-drink breakfast buffet of your dreams.
The best vegetarian and vegan restaurants in Manchester
There's never been a better time to be a vegetarian, with more and more restaurants now catering for meat-free diets as more than just an afterthought.
As the birthplace of the Vegetarian Society, Manchester has plenty of places for vegetarians and vegans to eat at.
Some serve purely vegetarian or vegan cuisine while others offer highly-recommended veggie options as part of a wider menu - but we reckon all of them will tempt even the most die-hard carnivore to try a meal without meat.
Manchester Food and Drink Festival Award winners
The annual Manchester Food and Drink Festival Awards are a great gauge of the city's hottest bars and restaurants.
Judged by an expert industry panel including members of the CityLife team, the winners represent the best of Greater Manchester's food and drink scene.

CityLife critics' choices
Our food and drink writers are out and about, week in, week out, reviewing the city's restaurants and bars.
It's not only the food that has to impress to win somewhere a rave review - we've got to be equally wowed by the service, drinks, atmosphere and surroundings.
Here are some of the restaurants we've loved of late and a snippet of what our critics had to say about them.
Where The Light Gets In, Stockport
Where The Light Gets In, Stockport (Image: Dominic Salter)
"A heart-warming bowl of crisp rat's tail radish pods and a poached egg yolk soak in a warm, umami broth. A silky fillet of plaice follows, served with a bone broth, refreshing kohlrabi, and 'some other things,' chef/owner Sam Buckley says with a grin, as he sets the plate down. Something tells me Buckley enjoys puzzling and pleasing diners in equal measure, which is no bad thing."
Lucy Lovell, December 2016. Read the full five-star review of Where The Light Gets In.
Hispi, Didsbury
"Starters are breathtaking. The gin-cured sea trout, pickled cucumber, yoghurt, pink grapefruit and radish pops with colour and delivers a deft hint of juniper and a gentle sharpness. This is a plate of food that comprises little but offers a lot. The truffled potato salad, charred spring onion and 'crisps' is so good I would eat it out of a bucket. Or a skip. With a trowel. It might be the best thing I've eaten this year."
Simon Binns, November 2016. Read the full five-star Hispi review.
The Refuge, Manchester city centre
(Image: The Refuge)
"Hiring Volta to run The Refuge was a shrewd move. The team have done more than just sex up The Palace, they've brought it down to earth, with humble branding, eclectic taste and a faithful following. They say opposites attract, and this is looking like a match made in heaven."
Lucy Lovell, November 2016. Read the full four-star review of The Refuge.
Baratxuri, Ramsbottom
"This place is a bona fide gem, and one that could walk into any town or city and make an absolute killing. It's far more satisfying as a rewarding-to-find one off though. The menu reads like a travel guide through northern Spain and will have you planning a return trip. And another. And another. Baratxuri, I am not done with you yet."
Simon Binns, September 2016. Read the full five-star review of Baratxuri.
Indian Tiffin Room, Manchester city centre
"Mysore bonda hum gently with green chilli and cumin, their crisp crust yielding to a spongy centre that's pleading to soak up the coconut chutney and sambar on the side. Chicken lollypops stray into Indo-Chinese territory, deep-fried to sticky perfection and pepped up with a hot garlic sauce. The Madurai masala dosa kicks the heat up a notch, a giant rice and lentil crepe tinted red with a feisty chilli chutney and stuffed with spiced potato."
Emily Heward, April 2016. Read the full four-star review of the Indian Tiffin Room.
El Gato Negro, Manchester city centre
(Image: Joby Catto)
"Put simply, El Gato Negro is bloody brilliant. It has that understated, easy going charm that is hard to capture and easy to get wrong if you try to force it. By putting the food at the centre of everything, the rest of it - location, rooftop bar, open kitchen, all of that - orbits around it quite nicely. If it can keep up the early work - the casual brilliance that belies the blood, sweat and tears powering El Gato behind the scenes - it has to be considered one of Manchester's best restaurants."
Simon Binns, March 2016. Read the full four-star review of El Gato Negro..

The government introduced a new corporal punishment system. Inmates with a remaining prison term up to 1 year can apply for participating in the Prison Punishment show. If they participate, their remaining prison term gets halved. People can either go to see this show or can watch the live broadcast on TV. They can even vote with a smartphone application. Female viewers decide the number of whip-strokes, male viewers vote for the number of cane strokes for each inmate. Once the viewers decide, the inmate can no longer quit the punishment.Now we can see such a punishment show with live audience , and we also see what's happening behind the scenes in the prison if the mean guards get too much power.

This is a super old thread, other people have already reuploaded Final Stage elsewhere, and later posts in the Initial D Downloads thread already have info on where to get the reuploads. You should've just looked in there and then searched on google.
Since you managed to miss it the first time, here's the link alex1287 already directed you towards last page.

regenerates the whole, supplying its waste by the absorption of new matter.
Cellular assimilation consists in properly locating the recently acquired groups within the molecule.
Certain cell molecules, under proper stimuli, rearrange their atomic grouping, polymerise, and thus multiply. This multiplication may be physiological or pathological. Rapid proliferation may tend to inability to function or to react with the food supply, and consequently destroy the molecule or lead to the death of the cell.
With this conception of a living cell, its secretions consist of the atomic groups cast out as a result of its reactions with external matter, and as the cells of different organs are unlike in their chemical composition, it follows that the secretions are specific. Outside the body hemoglobin breaks up, or may be broken up, chemically, into hematin and globulin. In this case the colored split product contains the iron. But the liver cells produce from hemoglobin bilirubin and an iron containing proteid. In this reaction the line of cleavage is quite different from that followed in the ordinary decomposition of hemoglobin. The secretions of some cells enter into a more or less energetic reaction with certain extra-cellular compounds with which they come in contact. This is true of the digestive enzymes. Other secretions apparently are made for the purpose of reacting with or at least affecting the reactions of the molecules of other cells. This seems to be true of some at least of the so-called internal secretions, such as those of the thyroid and adrenals.
A most important group of cellular secretions is made up of the ferments of enzymes. Without going into the history of the theories that have been advanced concerning the nature of these bodies, it seems to me that we are no longer justified in speaking of "organized and unorganized" ferments. All the ferments are cellular products. The work of Buchner on the ferment of the yeast plant seems to be positively convincing on this point. Oppenheimer has defined a ferment in a manner that seems to me to be quite in accord with the latest and best experimental investigation. His definition is as follows: "A ferment is a catalytically-acting substance which is produced by living cells, to which it is more or less firmly bound, whilst its action is not associated with the vital processes of the cells (which produce it); ferments are capable of inaugurating chemical processes which take place spontaneously (without the presence of the ferments), but proceed much more slowly. In this process the ferment, itself, remains unchanged. Ferment action is specific, that is, each ferment manifests its activity only on substances of certain structural and stereochemical arrangement."
I am conscious that my translation of this definition is not altogether satisfactory, and in order to give a more exact interpretation of it, as I understand it, I offer the following explanatory statements:
(1) Every ferment is a cellular product; it is a cellular secretion ;
a substance of definite chemical composition formed by the rearrangement of the atomic groups within the cellular molecule.
(2) The action of the ferment, while it is determined by the cell which produces it, is not concerned in the "energy traffic" constantly going on between the molecules of the cell which produced it and other molecules external to this cell. With our present limited knowledge of the chemistry of the cell molecule it is impossible, in many cases at least, to distinguish between the chemical reactions resulting from cell metabolism and those due to ferments. I am inclined to the opinion that more exact knowledge will show that the autolytic changes that take place in many cells after death, and which have furnished the theme of so many papers recently, will be found not to be due to ferments at all, but to the cessation of metabolic reaction.
(3) The function of a ferment is to hasten chemical reactions which take place, but much more slowly, without the presence of the ferment. It seems to me that a clear conception of this point gives one a key to the action of ferments in general. I have, in the first part of this paper, called attention to the fact that inertia is a universal property of matter; that the direction and rate of movement in matter can not be altered spontaneously. A ferment is a substance which by its presence changes the tempo of chemical reaction. I am fully aware that this does not explain why the ferment acts by its presence, but it is worth much to have a conception of how it acts, provided, of course, that this conception be correct. Furthermore, it must be admitted that the modus operandi of ferments is still beyond our ken. Some think that certain atoms or atomic groups are detached from one of the substances, combine with the ferment, and then are passed on to the other substance. On this supposition the ferment does enter into the reaction, but is constantly regenerated. Others hold that the ferment combines with the fermentable substance, making its molecule so labile that it falls to pieces, and that in the dissociation the ferment is again set free. There are weighty objections to either of these theories, but time will not permit me to state them in this paper, which is intended to be suggestive rather than exhaustive.
ON THE DIAGNOSIS OF ACUTE OBSTRUCTION OF
THE BOWEL.*
BY THEODORE A. MCGRAW, A. B., M. D., LL. D., DETROIT, MICHIGAN.
PROFESSOR OF SURGERY AND CLINICAL SURGERY IN THE DETROIT COLLEGE OF MEDICINE.
DISORDERS, which increase rapidly in virulence and if unrelieved cause speedy death, demand early and correct diagnosis and positive treatment. Of such, there are none which are more urgent than acute intestinal obstructions, and none in which hesitation and delay are more disastrous. The physician who ponders too long in these cases over the diagnosis, comes to a decision too late for his patient's salvation.
* Read at the Ann Arbor meeting of the First CONCILOR DISTRICT MEDICAL SOCIETY, December, 22, 1905.
Schlange divides intestinal obstructions into two classes, the dynamic and the mechanical. The dynamic are paralytic conditions which are usually secondary to other troubles. They may be caused by nervous shock. I met with this form once in a case of acute pancreatitis, which I operated on in Monroe with Doctor Southworth. A man of fortyfive years was seized with a violent pain in the epigastrium and fell at once into a collapse. I saw him twenty-four hours later. He had then rallied somewhat but was suffering great pain in the abdomen. There was great distension and the abdomen was very sore. I diagnosticated the trouble as perforation by a gastric ulcer and expected to find the intestines highly inflamed. On opening the abdomen, however, I found them of normal color and appearance but highly distended with gas. On lifting up the stomach an abscess was discovered in the tail of the pancreas.
These cases are uncommon. The usual cause of dynamic obstruction is inflammation of the peritoneum of which the type is a suppurative appendicitis. The treatment of these cases is that proper for the inflammation which causes them. Their symptoms, pathology and treatment have been the subject of innumerable treatises and discussions and are familiar to all intelligent practitioners. I shall not, therefore, discuss them in this paper but confine my remarks to obstructions caused by mechanical forces. These include all cases of hernia, volvulus and intussusception, and of obstructions caused by inflammatory bands, by adherent diverticulums, by tumors and cancers, by faults in development and by fecal impactions and foreign bodies.
Mechanical obstructions may be divided into two classes: those which suddenly and completely occlude a gut and those which cause only a partial stenosis of slow development. This is a highly practical division, inasmuch as the two classes differ much in symptoms and demand different treatment.
It is the obstructions due to the various forms of strangulation and to intussusception which are most speedily fatal and which, nevertheless, if operated on early, offer the best results. In many cases an operation in the first twelve hours after the seizure would have little more danger than an exploratory incision, while operations after the lapse of forty-eight hours are almost always followed by death. The symptoms caused by all these various forms of acute mechanical obstruction are uniformly the same, modified only by the seat of the obstruction, as it occurs in the large or small intestine, and by the idiosyncracies of the patient. There is first a sudden and violent pain in the abdomen, followed by nervous shock and vomiting. There is in the first twelve hours, as a rule, but little abdominal tenderness and the patient rarely objects to the manipulation of the abdomen by the surgeon. Almost immediately, however, there begins a perceptible distension of the abdomen which, in the very beginning, is localized and confined to the affected coil but soon involves the intestines above it. In persons with thin abdominal walls, the coil which is the seat of the injury may be discovered as a projecting spot on the abdomen. It is distended and paralyzed and will not contract under any stimulus. Vomiting does not relieve the nausea, and continues without cessation. The bowels are obstinately constipated and do not respond to purgatives but may discharge such of their contents as are contained in the part below the constriction. When, as sometimes happens, the affected coil is in the pelvis, there may be no distension of the abdomen but the swollen intestine may be felt by rectal or vaginal examination. This was the case in a boy upon whom I operated on the seventh of this month. He had been ill over three days when he was brought to the hospital enormously distended. His physician told me that the abdomen during the first two days was flat and unsensative. I found a black and gangrenous volvulus of large size, which I fished out of the pelvis. In these cases a careful examination of the pelvic cavity through the vagina or rectum should never be omitted.
The course of the distension in obstruction has an important bearing on the diagnosis. The abdomen is not suddenly inflated as in severe acute enteritis or peritonitis; affecting at first only one coil, the swelling is for some hours localized and moderate, and only gradually extends to the gut which lies above the constriction. In the last stages, however, the whole abdomen may become swollen to its utmost capacity. In fat people it is much more difficult to map out the affected coils.
It is characteristic of obstruction in the early stages that the resulting swelling is comparatively free from soreness. I have, indeed, seen several patients in whom this freedom from tenderness on pressure continued into the second and third day, even though they were suffering extreme pain. In fact, I have come to look upon the disproportion between the pain of obstruction and the soreness of the abdomen as pathognomonic of the disorder. A patient will from the very beginning complain bitterly of pain but will, without flinching, allow the surgeon to thoroughly manipulate and examine the abdomen. There may be some tenderness in spots but it is comparatively slight and unimportant. There are very few morbid conditions in which this contrast between agonizing abdominal pain and nearly complete freedom from abdominal soreness are found in the same degree. Corresponding with this freedom from soreness, the abdominal walls, in most cases, are relaxed and devoid of tension until, at the end of thirtysix or forty-eight hours, all symptoms become aggravated by septic absorption. The increase of indican in the urine is of no avail for early diagnosis, as it does not become apparent before the lapse of twenty-four hours. In obstruction the temperature remains nearly normal until the conditions become septic, when it will rise rapidly and continuously until death. It is on the combination of symptoms and on the order of the sequence that the physician must base his diagnosis. There is not a symptom of obstruction which may not be present in other maladies but there are few diseases in which they will occur in the same order and in the same connection.
If we pass in review the other troubles which may perplex the practitioner in his diagnosis we may gain a clearer picture of that first stage in which alone operations can be done with nearly certain success.
Obstruction may, first of all, be mistaken for indigestion with autointoxication. The severer forms of this kind of trouble are sometimes ushered in by severe abdominal pain, vomiting and collapse, followed by some tenderness and distension. It is rarely, however, that the nervous shock is as severe as in obstruction. The pain is more colicky in character, the bloating, when it occurs, is less localized and of more rapid development, and there is more fever. The one deciding symptom is the occurrence of diarrhea, which is the usual result of the condition. Should the bowels not move spontaneously, purgatives or enemas will almost invariably produce the desired effect. This is the rule, too, with all forms of enteritis. Osler, indeed, mentions a case which was mistaken for obstruction but does not say anything as to the condition of the bowels. The coexistence of constipation with severe enteritis is so rare that it may be left out of our calculations in forming our opinion.
Bilious colic produced by the passage of gall-stones may cause great agony, feeble pulse, vomiting and temporary collapse. It is, however, usually of short duration and causes neither bloating nor constipation. If the trouble is prolonged, there will be tenderness in the region of the gall-ducts, and if the common duct is the seat of the disorder, there will be jaundice. It rarely causes the permanent prostration of obstruction, unless associated with severe suppurative cholecystitis, in which case there will be chills and high fever as well as great local soreness.
The colic of lead poisoning could hardly be mistaken for intestinal obstruction, notwithstanding the occurrence of constipation. The history of the patient, his occupation, his continued ill health, the blue line of the gums are all distinguishing features. The symptoms are relieved by opium and the constipation is apt to alternate with diarrhea. The patient has a history of multiple attacks, which gradually increase in severity. There is not much distension and, if any exists, it will disappear under opiates, in this respect differing sharply from the distension of obstruction.
In renal colic the patient often suffers severe shock and great pain. There is sometimes, but not always, nausea and vomiting. The pain affects the back, the kidneys, the ureters and the bladder. Micturition is often painful and the urine contains albumin and blood. There is tenderness along the course of the affected ureter. The bowels may or may not be constipated, but are rarely bloated.
Acute pancreatitis, more than any other malady, may simulate intestinal obstruction. Beginning with an agonizing pain in the abdomen, with great shock and vomiting, there is a rapid distension of the abdomen and a tendency to collapse. The very rapidity with which the symptoms develop distinguishes the disorder from obstruction, in

SM The Ballad (2014). Сценическое имя Йесон в переводе означает «Голос искусства». 5 мая 2013 года отправился на военную службу в качестве военного на альтернативной основе из-за грыжи межпозвоночного диска. 4 мая 2015 года Йесон официально завершил военную службу. Помимо активности с группой, Йесон также записывал саундтреки для различных дорам и фильмов, снимался в дорамах, фильмах, мюзиклах и являлся ведущим на радио.

В 2016 году дебютировал сольно со своим первым мини-альбомом Here I Am.

Биография
Ким Чонун родился 24 августа 1984 года в Сеуле; его младшего брата зовут Ким Чонджин. Спустя 10 лет переехал вместе с семьёй в Чхонан. С раннего детства Йесон проявлял интерес к музыке. В 1999 году участвовал в конкурсе Cheonan Singing Competition и занял первое место. В 2001 мать Йесона записала сына на прослушивание в агентстве по поиску талантов SM Entertainment, где он поразил судей своим артистическим голосом и в итоге заполучил временный контракт.

2005—2007: дебют в Super Junior
Официально Йесон дебютировал с другими 12 участниками в группе Super Junior 05 6 ноября 2005 года в программе Popular Songs канала SBS. Тогда группа представила дебютный сингл — Twins (Knock Out). Месяц спустя, 5 декабря 2005 года, вышел и дебютный альбом — Super Junior05 (Twins); ему удалось достичь третьего места в ежемесячном чарте К-поп альбомов MIAK.

В марте 2006 года агентство SM Entertainment начало поиск новых участников для следующего поколения Super Junior 05. Тринадцатый участник — Кюхён — был найден, и группа в обновлённом составе получила новое название — Super Junior (без «05»). Их первый CD-сингл U вышел 7 июня 2006 и долгое время был наиболее успешным синглом группы, вплоть до выхода Sorry, Sorry в марте 2009 года. Осенью 2007 года группа выпустила второй официальный альбом — Don't Don, который стал вторым по продаваемости альбомом года в Южной Корее.

С сентября 2006 по сентябрь 2007 года Йесон вел собственную радио-программу M.I.R.A.C.L.E for You, где участники Super Junior периодически появлялись в качестве гостей. Проработав на этом поприще почти год, Йесон был вынужден покинуть пост, чтобы сконцентрироваться работе над вторым альбомом Super Junior Don't Don. Последний эфир радио состоялся 8 сентября 2007 года.

В ноябре 2006 года Йесон вместе с другими участниками, Рёуком и Кюхёном, сформировали первую подгруппу, Super Junior-K.R.Y., специализированной на R&B-балладах. В 2007 году Йесон стал участником Super Junior-H. 26 июля 2007 года вышел фильм Attack on the Pin-Up Boys, в котором снялись все участники Super Junior (кроме Кюхена); для Йесона это был дебют в кинематографе — он сыграл школьную рок-звезду, подвергшуюся нападению таинственной силы.

2008—2009: Мюзикл
9 мая 2008 года Йесон был доставлен в больницу после того, как повредил ногу на «Марафоне надежды» — беге на дистанцию 70 км, в которой принимали участие он и другие участники группы, Синдон, Сонмин, Итхык, Ынхёк и Канин. Благотворительное мероприятие проходило под эгидой телепрограммы SBS «Hope TV 24» и преследовало целью сбор денег для Монгольской школы в Южной Корее, находившейся под угрозой закрытия. Из-за травмы Йесону пришлось завершить марафон раньше, однако он всё же появился на сцене на костылях вместе с коллегами. 8 августа того же года Йесон снова был доставлен в больницу и госпитализирован на две недели, из-за падения с высоты 1,5 м на репетиции для музыкальной программы Music Bank телекомпании KBS.

Йесон записал балладный трек «Love Really Hurts» — официальный OST телевизионной драмы Tazza, которая транслировалась с 16 сентября до 25 ноября 2008 года. В 2009 году дебютировал как актёр мюзикла, сыграв в постановке Namhansanseong («Южно-Корейская крепость»), сюжет которой основан на одноимённом романе, написанным Ким Хуном. Он сыграл Чун Мёнсу, раба, который чувствует предательство со стороны своей родины. Мюзикл шёл с 9 октября по 4 ноября в Seongnam Arts Center Opera House.

2010: OST
В 2010 году Йесон сыграл главную роль в мюзикле Hong Gil Dong вместе с другим участником группы, Сонмином. Мюзикл шёл в Олимпийском парке с 18 февраля по 18 апреля 2010 года. 31 марта 2010 года Йесон записал OST для телевизионной драмы «Сестра Золушки», где сыграли известные актеры Мун Гынён и Чхон Чжон Мён. Песня, It has To Be You, представляет собой балладу, которая рассказывает историю о мужчине, отказавшемся искать другую девушку, кроме той, которую любил. 4 июня Йесон впервые выступил с этой песней на Musik Bank, причём это было его первое одиночное выступление. В K-Chart песня It Has To Be You добралась до третьего места.

В июле 2010 года Йесон выступил с Итхыком (лидером группы Super Junior) в роли ведущих на шоу Love Pursuer. 4 сентября Йесон выступил в роли ведущего в программе MUZIT.

С 1 октября по 28 октября 2010 года он играл в мюзикле Spamlot.

29 декабря 2010, Йесон совместно с Луной из f(x), спел трек «Loving You», для второй части официальных ОСТов дорамы KBS «Президент», в которой одну из ролей исполнил другой член группы — Сонмин.

2011: DJ и концерт K.R.Y.
31 января 2011 года Йесон записал уже третью соло-песню для драмы SBS «Райское Ранчо» — Waiting For You. Эта баллада рассказывает историю мужчины, который ждёт возвращения своей любимой к нему.

В июне 2011 года он принял участие в шоу-программе KBS Immortal Song 2, где певцы показывают свои версии старых песен, а победитель конкурса выбирается голосованием зрителей. Ему удалось выиграть в третьем эпизоде шоу, перепев песню The More I Love исполнителя Boohwal.

21 августа 2011 года получил небольшую травму, упав с платформы во время записи Dream Team 2.

2012: Возвращение на сцену с Super Junior
18 января 2012 года в честь юбилея композитора Yoon Il Sang группа Super Junior K.R.Y выпустила песню «Reminiscence», которая впоследствии вошла в альбом «I'm 21».

4 июня 2012 года Super Junior выпустила шестой студийный альбом — Sexy, Free&Single. 29 августа 2012 года Super Junior K.R.Y. представили OST SKY к дораме SBS To The Beautiful You, а 11 сентября 2012 — OST к романтичному сериалу Ms Panda and Mr Hedgehog в котором главную роль сыграл мембер Super Junior — Ли Донхэ.

2013—2015: военная служба и SM The Ballad, Возвращение на сцену, Дебют на малых экранах.
На концерте в Сеуле в рамках  Йесон объявил, что он отправится на военную службу в 2013 году. Из-за грыжи межпозвоночного диска ему было позволено проходить альтернативную службу. Йесон отправился в армию 6 мая 2013, в результате чего, он не смог принять участие в южноамериканском турне Super Show 5.

4 февраля 2014 года агентство SM Entertainment объявило о том, что Йесон также был зачислен в группу .

Q: How To Disconnect DVD-ROM From Laptop? I have HP Pavilion dv5282ea and after sending it to laboratory, i noticed that my DVD-ROM activates from time to time, just like i am opening and closing it. I know i should open my laptop and fix the thing, but i am not confident in my technical laptop skills at this time and affraid to mess with laptop since it has sensitive information.
Is there a way to disconnect DVD-ROM drive without opening laptop?

A: Generally, removing the optical drive from a laptop does not require actually opening the laptop case itself.  Most often, you'll just need to remove one or two screws which are accessible from the exterior.  Then, the drive will either come out with a simple pull, or there will be an ejection mechanism to press.
Many large OEMs have service manuals available on their websites.  If the removal process isn't obvious to you from just looking at the laptop, I suggest checking there.  I tried looking on HP's website myself, but they do not have anything on a "Pavillion dv5282".  Before doing your own search, make sure you got the model number right or try using the auto-detect feature.
Another option, if you just want to leave it in, is to disable it in the OS.
For Windows:

*

*Run "devmgmt.msc" from the Start Menu, Run dialog, or command line.

*Locate your device in the tree, right-click and select "Disable".

Anonymous Attacks Formula One Site, Releases Data Dump Of Ticket Sales
AnonymousBahrainFormula OneOperation Bahrain
Does Speeding Ticket Impact Your Auto Accident Claim?
Why Will I Need An Injury Attorney In Denver?
Do You Need A Trial Lawyer Or An Appellate Attorney?
The hacker group Anonymous had targeted sites affiliated with the Formula One races. The attack which was launched as a part of Anonymous "Operation Bahrain," with the hacker collective promising Bernie Eccelstone, Formula One CEO that they would take down the official website, turning it into "a smoking crater in cyberspace." The group has promised to attack Formula One online for the duration of the races. According to ZDnet, other fan websites taken down included f1officialpartners.com, live-timing.formula1.com, and totalf1.com. The attack was also accompanied by a data dump from the website, containing information relating to Formula One ticket sales. The data includes names, email addresses, and passport numbers, with personal information redacted.
The fan website F1-racers.net content replaced with following message:
Greetings from Anonymous
For over one year the people of Bahrain have struggled against the oppressive regime of King Hamad bin Al Khalifa. They have been murdered in the streets, run over with vehicles, beaten, tortured, tear gassed, kidnapped by police, had their businesses vandalised by police, and have tear gas thrown in to their homes on a nightly basis.
Still the regmine persists to deny any meaningful reform and continues to use brutal and violent tactics to oppress the popular calls for reformation. Not only is the Human Rights situation in Bahrain tragic, it becomes more drastic with each passing day. For these reasons the F1 Grand Prix in Bahrain should be strongly opposed. The Al Khalifa regime stands to profit heavily off the race and has promised to use live ammunition against protestors in preparation. They have already begun issuing collective punishment to entire villages for protests and have promised further retribution "to keep order" for the F1 events in Bahrain. The Formula 1 racing authority was well-aware of the Human Rights situation in Bahrain and still chose to contribute to the regime's oppression of civilians and will be punished.
We demand the immediate release of human rights worker Abdulhadi Alkhawaja who has spent over 70 days on hunger strike. He has committed no crimes and is being punished by the regime for advocating people's basic human rights. Free him and all other political prisoners in Bahrain. End torture. Deport all mercenary police and stop the use of tear gas against civilians.
We Do Not Forgive. We Do Not Forget. Expect Us.

Insignie prezidenta Turecka () jsou oficiální insignie prezidenta Turecké republiky.

Tvoří ji velká centrální šestnácticípá hvězda (Slunce, symbolizující Turecko) obklopená šestnácti hvězdami symbolizujícími "šestnáct velkých tureckých států" (), za jejichž dědice se Turecko považuje.

Prezidentská pečeť
Původ turecké prezidentské pečeti (a vlajky) sahá do září roku 1922, ve kterém podobnou vlajku používal na svém automobilu Mustafa Kemal Atatürk. Vzhled pečeti stanovil zákon (Sancak Talimatnamesi) z 22. října 1925. Tehdy bylo slunce dvaceticípé, s deseti ostrými a deseti oblými cípy. Roku 1978 byl počet paprsků snížen na šestnáct, současnou podobu má pečeť od roku 1985.

Prezidentská vlajka

Právní základ
Použití, výroba a vzhled vlajky jsou upraveny zákonem 2893 ze dne 22. září 1983 a regulovány ministerskou vyhláškou č. 85/9034 ze dne 25. ledna 1985.

Použití
Vlajka je používána:
 v oficiálním sídle prezidenta,
 během návštěv, v rezidenci prezidenta,
 na levé straně za stolem prezidenta,
 na levé přední části prezidentského vozidla.

Při projevech prezidenta bývá umístěna na přední straně křesla. Standarta je letecky převážena den a noc.

Stíhání
Podle článku 300 tureckého trestního zákoníku je urážka turecké vlajky trestná:

Kdo tureckou vlajku protrhl, spálil nebo jiným způsobem veřejně urazil, bude potrestán odnětím svobody na jeden až tři roky.

New jobs created as paint business expands

Portadown-based Industrial Paint Solutions Ltd (IPS) has recently created eight new jobs with the opening of a new 30,000 sq ft facility.
A further six jobs will be created over the next year in an investment partly supported by a substantial loan from Danske Bank.
Richard Graham, Managing Director of IPS commented: "Over the past number of years, the business has gone from strength to strength, and we have been able to break into new markets.
"Our work in the industrial sector – mainly repairing and painting forklift parts - makes up over 50% of our business, and our new powder-coating section already generates approximately 10% of our business.
"We also store forklift parts, an operation which has created additional revenue for the business.
"We originally worked from rented properties, but lack of space caused a bottleneck in our production.
"Our new facility means that we now have all our operations under one roof, including at present a three acre site, with room for further expansion.
"We are one of the market leaders as none of our competitors are local; neither would have the same size of operation that we have. Therefore our customers benefit from lower transport costs and production times."
Looking ahead, Mr Graham said: "Over the next 12 months we intend to grow with the market, and we have plans to expand the powder-coating section of our business, which is becoming increasingly popular.
"To provide for this, we will need to take on a further six staff in order to keep up with demand."
The business was set up in 2007 and currently employs 26 staff. The company carries out paint and repair work for clients in a number of sectors including automotive, industrial and construction.
IPS has undertaken work on behalf of customers in countries such as USA, China, India, Germany, Holland and Sweden.
Ellen Matthews, Business Banking Manager, Danske Bank, commented: "Richard and his team have identified a number of lucrative markets and ways to diversify the business into other sectors. This new facility means the company has further room to grow the business, and continues to be a market leader in industrial and vehicle finishing and coating."
