Safe, sharp and sexy – this is the Volvo that's going to change your mind
By Fraser Martin
Just let's say at the outset that if any manufacturer invites the Press to test a new car in Italy generally, and in the area around Verona in particular, you can be reasonably assured that they are pretty bloody confident that the car is good. The roads to the north of Romeo and Juliet's home city are spectacular and twisty, as they work their way up through the hills in a series of hairpins, and over towards the shores of Lake Garda. It's a beautiful part of Europe, though tricky to see if you are pressing on.
And Volvo's representatives on this event were right to be confident – the new V40, a premium 5-door hatchback, is such a departure from the 'historical' Volvo that it hardly seems like a Volvo at all. Sleekly designed and with just a hint of heritage, (aficionados of the marque will easily spot the P1800 kick line below the rear side window) the new car takes on a much more aggressive, though hardly threatening stance: it's a big brother to the quirky C30, and much more mature.
Four years of work went into the chassis design and dynamics of this car (see earlier story: Interview with Joakim Rydholm) and boy, have they paid off. Pressing on through North Italy's rollercoaster roads, you find yourself thinking Golf GTi. Turn-in is completely faithful, balance is brilliantly neutral and there is no hint of understeer, unless you are really pushing the envelope of your own ability. Volvo is aiming this car squarely at the 1 series BMW and in my view, they've got it right – and with better looking results.
There are three diesel engines on offer, none of which I drove, and two petrols. The launch car for the Middle East will have the smaller of these, a 1600 Turbo, mated to the slick 6-speed Powershift gearbox. Wait a minute, I hear you say, a 1600? Let me assuage any concerns you might have straight away: I have driven, and quite recently too, a number of 2-litre cars that would be left in the wake of this engine: it is perky, willing, and deceptively quick but suffers no turbo lag that I could detect. When I first drove it, I didn't bother to check the badging or refer to my notes and was totally shocked to learn that it was not at least 2-litres! It is a cracker of an engine, and with the dynamic chassis it's bolted to, a quite exceptional package in the normal way of things this size.
Being a Volvo, it is of course packed with active and passive safety gear – the handout in the Press kit on Safety features alone, ran to six densely packed pages, with more acronyms than you could shake a stick at: all the Volvo City Safety gear we are familiar with is there, with improvements in some areas.
There's Cross Traffic Alert, Blind Spot Information, Lane Keeping Aid (with a vibration in the steering wheel if you wander to far), Collision Warning and Adaptive Cruise Control, and another World First from Volvo, a pedestrian airbag which, should you be unlucky enough not to avoid running someone over, will pop up at the back of the bonnet and cover its trailing edge and two thirds of the windscreen, along with the A pillars. It is, quite frankly, brilliant, and you can expect this to start appearing in other cars in the not too distant future. The Volvo V40 is quite simply the most intelligent and safe car available.
Inside, the V40 features a still obviously Swedish Design feel, though the IKEA and Lego cleverness of much of the interiors of the past have been softened and disguised in new finishes, fabrics and fittings. It's a very nice place to be in, this new car, and with the three-quarter length glass roof, remarkably airy. There's loads of room in the back and with split folding rear seats, as well as hidden floor space in the boot, bags of room for clutter. In the usual way of Volvo accessories, you can order plenty of clever restraining straps, clips and fasteners for securing everything from a bicycle to your Grannie.
The car, due here in our region towards the end of February 2013, is a thoroughly good job and will wake a few competitors up a bit. It is a benchmark car for Volvo and marks a new direction without compromising on the manufacturers traditional values. I could only find one single niggle in the two days I drove it: like most front-wheel-drive Volvos, it does not enjoy a particularly tight turning circle but I'm sure that is something that a long term owner would learn to compensate for.
And talking of a long-term ownership proposition, those familiar with this reporter will know that if I am giving serious consideration to looking at the V40, when it comes, as the only worthy replacement for my trusty Honda Jazz, it must be a pretty good car, and well worth waiting for.
Prices have yet to be finalised, but the rumour mill suggests that 'competitive' will be the watchword.
Price: AED120,000 ($33k)
Engine: 1.6-litre, 180bhp @ 5700rpm, 177lb ft @ 1600-4000rpm + 22 overboost

What it means to be a Kings fan
By Niesy May 26, 2012, 7:53pm PDT
Share All sharing options for: What it means to be a Kings fan
I've been sitting out on my deck for the last two hours, sipping a glass of wine, thinking about what it means to be a Kings fan.
You see, this article in the LA Times about long-time fans stirred up a whole lot of feelings in me.
Patko, a 42-year-old homemaker in Anaheim, sat with her father at the 1982 Miracle on Manchester, when the Kings overcame a five-goal deficit in the first round of the playoffs to defeat the heavily favored Edmonton Oilers in one of the greatest comebacks in NHL history.
"My dad never got to experience the L.A. Kings hockey life that I have," she said.
If the Kings win the cup, she will visit his grave site, recount the Kings' conquest and have "a moment with him," Patko said. "To follow a team for this long without any hopes for success, you just have to keep believing."
Each fan's story is different. And yet they all hit me right here.
Here we are on the eve of the Stanley Cup Finals, and do we revel in it? Well...not exactly. Even as we watch with joy.
Nobody is overconfident.
Nobody feels like this is real.
Nobody knows what rooting for a successful team is supposed to feel like. Even in '93, with Wayne freaking Gretzky, the Kings were the upstarts. We're the team of permanent underdogs. Chalk it up to 45 years of conditioning.
And now? Your Los Angeles Kings have only lost two games so far in the postseason. Things turn out for the best when we expect the worst. We don't know how to get our bearings.
Objective stats tell us that the Kings are a strong possession team with excellent goaltending. When's the last time any of us could expect that?
I understand why doubt lurks around every corner. But maybe it's time to raise a glass and appreciate what they have going here -- even if we never look to far ahead.
When did you get your start as a Kings fan? Tell me.

It's only been a couple of weeks now since Spoken Nerd released his latest effort, I Need A Friend Like You (Fake Four Inc.). It's an album that easily flows from track to track, is well thought out melding rock and rap but in a different way altogether. While there is live instrumentation, don't confuse this Nathan Conrad (who is Spoken Nerd) with anything Fred Durst rallying around, instead, you may want to imagine something much more folksy, held together with the occasional tongue in cheek lyricism. The single off of the album "Wrestlemania B.C. (feat. Gregory Pepper)" is quite unique. The song is addictively catchy with harmonies provided by that one anomaly that is Gregory Pepper. We're fortunate enough to premiere the new video today, and Nathan has more than one thing to say about the video and the song itself.
The video was filmed by Meco Club in Lincoln, IL. and features wrestlers from Midwest Impact Pro Wrestling at School of Smothers.

What can tree rings tell us about Earth's past?
26 August 2016 19 September 2016 Rafał Chudy
This month, scientists from University of Oxford published extra-ordinary finding. They have identified a new way of putting accurate dates to great events of prehistory. This new way is called astrochronology and, in this case, it uses tree rings.
It looks that rare and spectacular solar storms have left their traces in trees over the past five thousands years. Every tree growing at the time of such a sun storm, anywhere in the world, would have preserved a record of it.
This is opening completely new possibilities for high-precision chronometry (science of the measurement of time), and chronology (science of locating events in time).
So far, scientists were using carbon dating by comparing the ration between two isotopes of the element carbon, C-14 and C-12, present in old samples of organic material. Nevertheless, this technique often leads to quite big errors, sometimes between 50-100 years.
However, by combining carbon dating with violent solar storms that occurred in the past, may enable scientists to date material much more precise.
In a new paper, the authors explain how harvesting such data could revolutionize the study of ancient civilizations such as the Egyptian and Mayan worlds.
Lead author Dr Michael Dee, from the School of Archaeology at the University of Oxford, said:
"Such markers can be easily identified in known-age tree-rings and are fixed in time. In the past, we have had floating estimates of when things may have happened, but these secret clocks could reset chronologies concerning important world civilizations with the potential to date events that happened many thousands of years ago to the exact year."

The Secret Life of CeeCee Wilkes
Twenty-eight years ago, a North Carolina governor's young, pregnant wife was kidnapped. Now, her remains have been found and a man charged with her murder. Only one person-CeeCee Wilkes-can refute the charges against him. But CeeCee disappeared years ago. . .
Eve Elliot is a successful therapist to troubled students, a loving wife, a mother deeply invested in her family. But her happiness is built on a lie. When she was a lonely, vulnerable young woman, a single decision made in innocence led to a dark night of unimaginable consequences. Now, forced to confront her past, she faces another terrible choice: reveal to her family that she is not who she seems, or allow a man to take the blame for a crime she knows he did not commit. If the choice affected only her life, Eve is certain she would do what is right. But though inaction means condemning an innocent man, it also means protecting her family from the mistakes of her past.
Corinne Elliot has always known she was different: the only redhead in a family of brunettes, the paralyzing shyness that contrasts with her sister's vivaciousness, the many fears-of highways, of bridges, of public spaces-that constrict her daily life. Still, with a new job possibility and a baby on the way, she's found some measure of happiness-until the day she turns on the television and finds her mother's image on screen.
Now, as the past explodes into the present, Corinne must confront the secrets she has always intuited, and find answers from the one person who knows the truth of what happened over two decades ago-CeeCee Wilkes.
She couldn't concentrate on making love. No matter how tenderly or passionately or intimately Ken touched her, her mind was miles away. It was a little after five on Tuesday afternoon, the time they protected from meetings or dinner with friends or anything else that might interfere with their getting together, and usually Corinne relished the love-making with her fiancé. Today, though, she wanted to fast forward to the pillow talk. She had so much to say.
Ken rolled off her with a sigh, and she saw him smile in the late afternoon light as he rested his hand on her stomach. Did that mean something? Smiling with his hand on her belly? She hoped so, but didn't dare ask him. Not yet. Ken loved the afterglow–the slow untangling of their limbs and the gradual return to reality–so she would have to be patient. She stroked her fingers through his thick, ash blond hair as she waited for his breathing to settle down. Their baby was going to beautiful, no doubt about it.
"Mmm." Ken purred as he nuzzled her shoulder. Thin bands of light slipped into the room through the blinds, leaving luminous stripes on the sheet over his legs. "I love you, Cor."
"I love you, too." She wrapped her arm around him, trying to sense if he was alert enough to listen to her. "I did something amazing today," she began. "Two somethings, actually."
"What did you do?" He sounded interested, if not quite awake.
"First, I took 540 to work."
His head darted up from his pillow. "You did?"
"Excellent." She'd had sweaty palms the whole time, but she'd managed. For the past few years, she'd taught fourth grade in a school eight miles from their house, and she never once had the courage to take the expressway to get there. She stuck to the tiny back roads, curling her way through residential neighborhoods, dodging cars as they backed out of their driveways. "It took me about ten minutes to get to work," she said. "It usually takes me forty."
"I'm proud of you," he said. "I know how hard that must have been to do."
"And then I did another amazing thing," she said.
"I haven't forgotten. Two things, you said. What other amazing thing did you do?"
"I went on the field trip to the museum with my class instead of staying at school, like I'd planned."
"Now you're scaring me," he teased. "Are you on some new drug or something?"
"Am I remarkable or what?" she asked.
"You are the definitely the most remarkable woman I know." He leaned over to kiss her. "You're my brave, beautiful red-haired girl."
She'd walked inside the museum as though she did it every day of the week, and she bet no one knew that her heart was pounding and her throat felt as though it was tightening around her windpipe. She guarded her phobias carefully. She could never let any of her students' parents—or worse—her fellow teachers, know.
"Maybe you're trying to do too much too fast," Ken said.
She shook her head. "I'm on a roll," she said. "Tomorrow, I plan to step into the elevator at the doctor's office. Just step into it," she added hastily. "I'll take the stairs. But stepping into it will be a first step. So to speak. Then maybe next week, I'll take it up a floor." She shuddered at the thought of the elevator doors closing behind her, locking her in a cubicle not much bigger than a coffin.
"Pretty soon you won't need me anymore."
"I'm always going to need you." She wondered how serious he was with that statement. It was true that she needed Ken in ways most people didn't need a partner. He was the driver anytime they traveled more than a few miles from home. He was her rescuer when she'd have a panic attack in the supermarket, standing in the middle of an aisle with a full cart of groceries. He was the one holding onto her arm as he guided her through the mall or the Concert Hall or wherever they happened to be when her heart started pounding. "I would just like to not need you that way. And I have to do this, Ken. I want that job."
She'd been offered a position which would start the following September, training teachers in Wake County to use a reading curriculum in which she'd become expert. That meant driving. A lot of driving. There would be six lane highways to travel and bridges to cross and elevators she would have no choice but to ride. September was nearly a year away, and she was determined to have her fears mastered by then.
"Kenny." She pulled closer to him, nervous about the topic she was about to broach. "There's something else we really need to talk about."
His muscles tightened ever so slightly beneath her hands.
"The pregnancy," he said.
She hated when he called it "the pregnancy." She guessed she'd misread his smile earlier. "About the baby," she said. "Right."
He let out a sigh. "Cor, I've thought about it and I just don't think it's the right time. Especially with you starting a new job next year. How much stress do you need?"
"It would work out," she said. "The baby's due in late May. I'd take the end of the year off and have the summer to get used to being a mom and find day care and everything." She smoothed her hand over her stomach. Was it her imagination or was there already a slight slope to her belly? "We've been together so long," she continued. "It just doesn't make sense for me to have an abortion when I'm almost twenty-seven and you're thirty-eight and we can afford to have a child." She didn't say what else she was thinking: Of course, we'd have to get married. Finally. They'd been engaged and living together for four years, and if her pregnancy forced them to set a date, that was fine with her.
He gave her shoulders a squeeze, then sat up. "Let's talk about it later, okay?" he said.
"When?" she asked. "We can't keep putting this off."
"Later tonight," he promised.
She followed his gaze to the phone on the night table. The message light was blinking. He picked up the receiver and punched in their voice mail code, then listened. "Three messages," he said, hitting another button on the phone. The light in the room had grown dim, but she was still able to see him roll his eyes as he listened to the first message.
"Your mother," he said. "She says it's urgent."
"I'm sure." Corinne managed a laugh. Now that Dru had spilled the news of her pregnancy to their parents, she'd probably be getting urgent calls every day. Her mother had already emailed her to tell her that redheads were more prone to hemorrhaging after delivery. Thanks a heap, Mom. She hadn't bothered to reply. She hadn't spoken with her mother more than a few times in the last three years.
"There's one from Dru, too," Ken said. "She says to call her the minute you get the message."
That was more worrisome. An urgent message from her mother was easy to ignore. From her sister, less so. "I hope there's not anything wrong," she said, sitting up.
"They would have called you on your cell if it was so important," he said, still holding the phone to his ear.
"True." She got out of bed and pulled on her short green robe, then picked up her phone from the dresser and turned it on. "Except, I didn't have my cell on today because of the field trip, so–"
"What the–" Ken frowned as he listened to another message. "What the hell are you talking about?" He shouted into the phone. Glancing at his watch, he walked across the room to turn on the television.
"What's going on?" Corinne watched him click through the channels until he'd reached WIGH, the Raleigh station for which he was a reporter.
"That was a message from Darren," he said, as he punched another phone number into the receiver. "He's kicking me off the Gleason story."
"What?" She was incredulous. "Why?"
"He said it was for obvious reasons, like I should know what the hell he's talking about." He looked at his watch again and she knew he was waiting for the six o'clock news. "Come on, come on," he said to the television or the phone—or maybe both. "Give me Darren!" he yelled into the receiver. "Well, where is he?" He hung up and started dialing again.
"They can't pull you off that story," she said. "That would be so unfair after all the work you've done on it." The Gleason story was his baby. He'd even attracted national attention for it. People were talking about him being a candidate for the Rosedale Award.
"Darren says, 'Did you know about this?' like I've been keeping something from him." Ken ran his fingers through his hair. "Oh, don't give me your damn voice mail," he said into the phone. Damn it." She felt his impatience as he waited to leave a message. "What the hell do you mean, I'm off the Gleason story?" he shouted. "Call me!"
He tossed the receiver on the bed, then pounded the top of the television with his fist as though he could make the news come on sooner through force. "I don't believe this," he said. "I do not believe this. When I left the courthouse today, the jury hadn't sentenced him yet and they were supposed to reconvene tomorrow. Maybe I heard it wrong. Maybe I missed the sentencing. Damn!"
Corinne looked down at the cell phone in her hand as she cycled through the list of callers. "I have five messages, all from my parents' house," she said. Something was wrong. "I'd better call–"
"Shh," Ken said, turning up the volume as the brassy theme music introduced the news, and anchorman Paul Provost appeared on the screen.
"Good evening, Triangle," Paul said, referring to the area between Raleigh, Chapel Hill and Durham. "Just hours before Timothy Gleason was to be sentenced for the 1977 murder of Genevieve Russell and her unborn child, a shocking revelation shed doubt on his guilt."
"What?" Ken stared at the T.V.
Footage of a small arts and crafts-style bungalow filled the screen. The roof looked wet from a recent rain, and the trees were lush, the leaves just starting to turn.
"Is that. . . ?" Corinne pressed her hand to her mouth. She knew exactly how the air smelled in the small front yard of the house. It would be thick and sweet with the damp arrival of autumn. "Oh, my God."
Through the front door, a middle-aged woman limped onto the porch. She looked small and tired. And she looked scared.
"What the hell is going on?" Ken said.
Corinne stood next to him, clutching his arm, as her mother cleared her throat.
"Timothy Gleason is not guilty of murdering Genevieve Russell," she said. "And I can prove it because I was there."

Otto Warmbier's mom urges Trump not to accept 'bad deal' as North Korea threatens 'Christmas gift'
By Rebecca Kheel - 12/18/19 01:06 PM EST
Cindy Warmbier, whose son Otto Warmbier died in 2017 after being returned to America from a North Korean prison in a vegetative state, on Wednesday urged President Trump Donald John TrumpCNN's Don Lemon explains handling of segment after Trump criticism NPR reporter after Pompeo clash: Journalists don't interview government officials to score 'political points' Lawyer says Parnas can't attend Senate trial due to ankle bracelet MORE not to accept a "bad deal" with Pyongyang as North Korea threatens to send the United States a "Christmas gift."
"I've always said the same thing: don't make a bad deal and don't believe a word they say. And nothing's changed," Cindy Warmbier said Wednesday when asked by The Hill about her message to Trump in the face of renewed North Korean threats.
She also had a message for North Korea: "People matter. Otto matters. We're never going to let you forget our son."
Cindy Warmbier was speaking at a news conference alongside her husband, Fred Warmbier, and Sens. Chris Van Hollen Christopher (Chris) Van HollenDemocrats offer mixed reactions to Trump's Mideast peace plan Trump offers two-state peace plan for Israeli-Palestinian conflict amid skepticism The Hill's 12:30 Report: Trump lawyers to offer closing arguments on day 7 MORE (D-Md.), Pat Toomey Patrick (Pat) Joseph ToomeyNSA improperly collected US phone records in October, new documents show Overnight Defense: Pick for South Korean envoy splits with Trump on nuclear threat | McCain blasts move to suspend Korean military exercises | White House defends Trump salute of North Korean general WH backpedals on Trump's 'due process' remark on guns MORE (R-Pa.), Sherrod Brown Sherrod Campbell BrownSchiff sparks blowback with head on a 'pike' line Sunday shows - All eyes on Senate impeachment trial Senate Democrat: 'Fine' to hear from Hunter Biden MORE (D-Ohio) and Rob Portman Robert (Rob) Jones PortmanMcConnell struggles to maintain GOP unity post-Bolton Senate Republicans confident they'll win fight on witnesses Collins walks impeachment tightrope MORE (R-Ohio) to tout new North Korea sanctions that passed Congress as part of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).
Trump has said he will sign the NDAA "immediately" after it hits his desk.
Folded in the massive defense policy bill that passed the House last week and the Senate on Tuesday was legislation named after Otto Warmbier to impose secondary sanctions on financial entities doing business with North Korea.
Sponsors of the sanctions measure argue it's necessary to plug the "leaky" sanctions regime that exists right now, particularly against Chinese banks facilitating business with North Korea.
The sanctions cleared Congress as North Korea ominously warns the United States it will deliver an unspecified "Christmas gift." Pyongyang has also previously set a year-end deadline for the United States to soften its stance in denuclearization negotiations before it will take a "new path."
On Tuesday, the top U.S. Air Force general in the Pacific region said he expects North Korea's "gift" to the United States will be a long-range missile test, which would break a self-imposed moratorium on such tests.
On Monday, Trump said he would be "disappointed" if North Korea is planning a long-range missile or nuclear test.
"I would be disappointed if something would be in the works, and if it is, we will take care of it," Trump told reporters.
"We're watching it very closely," he continued.
In touting the sanctions Wednesday, Van Hollen said Congress's actions "send a clear message" as North Korea makes its Christmas threats.
"We're here together because we think it's important to send a very clear message that we are going to respond to North Korean aggression by further ratcheting up economic pressure so that we can have a serious negotiation," Van Hollen said.
Fred Warmbier, meanwhile, expressed hope the sanctions will force North Korea to change its behavior.
"This banking bill is very important to our efforts because it gives us more tools to force the North Koreans to engage on some level," he said. "This to us is a great tool, and I think this is the method that can change North Korea's behavior."
Senators also made clear they expect Trump to implement the sanctions. Trump has in the past slow-walked or not imposed congressionally mandated sanctions, such as his continued reluctance to impose sanctions on Turkey for buying a Russian weapons system.
"We'll be taking our oversight responsibilities very seriously to make sure as Sen. Van Hollen said that these are in fact imposed unless there is a very, very substantial change in behavior that would merit the waiver," Toomey said of himself and fellow Senate Banking Committee members.

Crone Mora comes in your sleep.
She laughs faceless. Without laughing.
Scream. Open your mouth. Empty.
Keep your eyes open. In the dark.
Get up. Hold on to your bed.
Get up. Prop yourself against the walls. The walls are curving.
A grey cloud spreads on the floor.
The bed touches the floor.
The bed touches the walls.
Get up. Crawl on all fours.
Crone Mora is in your bedroom.
She steps on you that you shan't move.
Keep your eyes open in the dark.
Darkness seeps through the fissures.
Get up. Make for the light. There's no light.
The switch won't light the lamp.
The switch, a mature grey caterpillar, is crawling on the walls.
It has nibbled the colour.
It scores the walls and darkness enters.
The walls curve in the dark.
On you, Crone Mora is a grey moth.
She's nibbled the light and sat on you.
Get up. Make for the door. Keep your eyes open.
The door won't open. There's no doorknob.
The doorknob, a grey predatory myriapod, is running on the floor.
The door is small. Small mouth with rodent incisors.
Darkness enters through the keyhole.
Crone Mora is growing on you.
Get up. Without legs. Without arms.
A myriapod, crawl to the window.
There's no window. You don't know where it is.
The window has grown and left.
It flew in the night. Lepidopteron.
Crone Mora nailed the door.
Nailed you to your bed.
Nailed you to your body.
A predatory myriapod on you. A mature caterpillar on you.
Your bed on you. Darkness in your mouth.
Grey moth. Crown Mora in the keyhole.
She is coming. Give a shout. Get up. Crawl. Wake up.
Crone, tell me your years.
Are they a hundred? A thousand?
Are they one hundred short breaths of mine?
One thousand eggs that you left in my mind?
Crone, tell me your name.
Is it a vivid darkness?
on the bed it steps on and goes?
who squeezes my body without a body.
Crone on walls stepping on my bed.
On my bed stepping on the walls.
On my tongue that got stuck in my throat.
One hand on the right. One hand on the left.
The walls are near. To sustain myself. To get up.
To hold up on the right. Hold up on the left.
The walls on top of me. My bed on the walls.
I must get up. Crawl on all fours.
To groan mo, to shiver ra. Old mo. Old ra.
The walls on my bed.
Slain in the dark is my tongue in the throat.
A voice on the right. A voice on the left.
To shout at my voice.
Crone Mora comes in my sleep.
Where is my tongue? Where is my voice?
My voice chokes in my stomach.
Darkness emerges from my mouth.
My mouth is chock-full of darkness.
Darkness is chock-full of my voice.
Crone Mora is a hundred mouths.
Crone Mora is a thousand eyes.
On me. A hand on the right. A hand on the left.
She gets hold of the walls and curves them over me.
Holding on to the dark.
Holding on to my body.
Darkness in my mouth. My tongue slain.
I must get up. I must crawl.
I'm not coming. I'm in your sleep.
I've no name. I'm a crone.
I've no body. I'm old mo.
I've no face. I'm old ra.
the walls on the night.
Here in the night I raise darkness.
Don't get up. I drag the bedroom at night. Don't crawl.
You don't wake up from an awaking; you don't fall from one sleep to another.
Crone Mora comes in your awaking.
She sees you from your sleep.
Give a shout. Get up. Make your way. Wake up.

The item The husbands and wives club : a year in the life of a couples therapy group, Laurie Abraham, (streaming audiobook) represents a specific, individual, material embodiment of a distinct intellectual or artistic creation found in Jericho Public Library.
Abraham, Laurie
Merlington, Laural
Starting in spring 2006, journalist Laurie Abraham sat in with five troubled couples as they underwent the searing process of group marriage therapy. Published as "Can This Marriage Be Saved?" the resulting article generated intense reader response. While space limitations allowed Abraham to focus only on one couple in her article, this book, which grew out of it and the reaction it inspired, tells the moving, fascinating story of all five.Writing with the narrative dexterity of a great novelist, Abraham recounts the travails, triumphs, and reversals that beset the five couples as they work with their therapist-and each other-to find out whether they can attain the satisfaction in marriage they originally sought. At times wrenching, at times inspiring, the sessions bring out the long-hidden resentments, misunderstandings, unmet desires, and unspoken needs that bedevil many an imperiled couple. At the same time, these encounters provide road maps to reconciliation and revival that can be used by anyone in a relationship. Along the way, the author draws on her explorations of philosophy and literature, on Freudian theory and modern science, to decode the patterns and habits that suggest whether a troubled marriage will survive or die. The fact that the five couples are ultimately successful makes this not only an important look at the state of marital dysfunction in America today but a reaffirmation of the enduring bonds of love

Q: CmdLet works in PowerShell but not in PowerShell ISE Lately I have been developing PowerShell scripts on a Window 8 machine instead of on a Windows Server 2012R2 which I normally do.
I have encountered two very strange things that never happened on the server.
I know, two questions in one post, but I believe they might be connected.

*

*After a while cmdlets just stop producing any output whatsoever, no error messages, no verbose output. It doesn't matter if I run it in the "lower" command part or in the "upper" script editor, and no difference if I run a selected part of the script or the whole thing. If I switch to a "normal" PowerShell the cmdlet works fine.  If I restart PowerShell ISE, the cmdlet start working again, but only for a like 2-5 execution (not at all exact number) after which it stops working again.  Not all cmdlets behave this way, mostly had problems with Storage related cmdlets (Format-Partition, Get-Disk, Get-Volume and so on).

*After a while cmdlets that used to work fine in the "upper" script part of PowerShell ISE just stops working. The cmdlets still work fine in the "lower" command part of the ISE GUI, but does not work when used in the "upper" script editor, even though they did just a second ago. And it doesn't matter if I run the whole script or just a selected part. And by not working I mean it can't even find the cmdlet (The term '' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet). The cmdlet is available in the Commands Side-Bar where it show up without any problem and I can access help for it.
So any ideas what is going on here?

Fort Wayne Nutrition Update: Calcium May Protect You from Kidney Stones!
Fort Wayne Chiropractic Radiological Center shares cutting edge nutrition research that displays the opposite: calcium taken with meals may actually shelter you from establishing kidney stones.
Yes, you have likely been informed that calcium should not be taken if you form kidney stones. This has been evaluated to be false in several thorough studies. Indeed, a high intake of calcium reduces the risk of kidney stones. There is no support that a low calcium diet reduces the risk of kidney stones. A study of 45,600 patients showed no tie-in of calcium ingestion with kidney stone formation. (1) Now, that's an extensive study!
But why? Because kidney stones are made of calcium oxalate when calcium and oxalic acid bind together in the urine. Taking calcium with meals causes the calcium to bind with oxalate in the food we eat which keeps it from getting into the urinary tract where kidney stones form. (2) Great news for Fort Wayne kidney stone sufferers!
So, when encountered with the choice of whether or not to take calcium supplements for prevention of osteopenia, osteoporosis and the fractures of the spine and extremities that are prevalent with these conditions, keep this information in mind. Read these articles. And, like any other form of care, use good judgment, and consult your chiropractic clinic, Fort Wayne Chiropractic Radiological Center in Fort Wayne, for advice on the best form of calcium to take, its dosage, and ancillary diet factors to assist in the best and safest ingestion of calcium. We are here for your health!


2017 has been the year of the bezel-less phones, but Motorola and Lenovo have opted to change its lineup in other ways. The Moto Z2 Play is one of these devices as it has been slimmed down quite a bit, but is still a viable option today. The Moto Z2 Play has been out for some time, but considering the fact that the device is still one of the more popular options, we're going to take a look at some of the first things every owner should do.
Download Forums for Android – it will auto-detect your Moto Z2 Play and connect you with our official users Z2 Play Forum for help, tips, and tricks!
When starting up your new Moto Z2 Play for the first time, you'll be presented with a screen that says "Welcome". From here, there are two options to consider, the first of which is to copy your data from your previous device, while the second option gives you the ability to start with a clean slate.
In the event your phone gets ever becomes lost or stolen, it's important that you have all your photos and videos backed up safely online. Google provides everyone with unlimited high-quality backups (and 1080p videos) for absolutely free.
Back up photos Over Cellular (unlimited data plan recommended) or only when connected to WiFi.
If you choose to back up photos over cellular, you can also choose whether to back up videos separately over cellular or WiFi.
Select Backup device folders to pick specific folders you want to also back up (your camera roll photos/videos are already backed up by default).
Once backed up to Google Photos, all your photos will be stored in the cloud and immediately accessible from all your devices, computers, or other web connected devices.
Unlike other offerings on the market, the Moto Z2 Play features a higher base storage, making it easier to store your favorite music, videos, and other content. However, if you're looking to bring a bunch of your files over to your new Z2 Play from your old device, a microSD card is definitely the best way to do so.
Best of all, any of the Moto Mods released last year, are compatible with the new Moto Z2 Play, so it's just a matter of seeing what's best for you. If you want to check out Motorola's current offerings, you can simply hit the "Moto Mods" app icon and you'll be taken to Motorola's store to check everything out.
While devices like the Galaxy S8 and LG G6 are featuring larger displays in smaller form factors, the Moto Z2 Play keeps a traditional aspect ratio with its 5.5-inch display. Thankfully, Motorola has included a quick gesture that allows you to shrink the screen, making it much more accessible for one-handed usage.
As awesome as the Moto Z2 Play is, it's not much without some great apps and games. We've compiled tons of helpful guides for finding the best apps and games in the Play Store. Before you dive in and rummage around, you'll want to check out these lists first.
What camera modes are there on the Z2 Play?

The Society for East Asian Archaeology (SEAA) is pleased to announce that the Eighth SEAA Worldwide Conference will be held in Nanjing, China, on June 8-11, 2018. The conference will be hosted by the School of History at Nanjing University. The local organizer of the conference is Professor ZHANG Liangren.
The conference offers an opportunity for researchers to present the results of their work on any of a broad range of topics relating to East Asian archaeology. We look forward to receiving proposals for presentations, posters or short films as individual proposals or in organized sessions. We welcome submissions that highlight the growth and depth of East Asian archaeology as a field of study, and encourage submissions that focus on adjacent regions such as Southeast Asia, the Pacific, and North and Central Asia.
Examples of possible topics include, but are not limited to, archaeological scientific approaches to East Asian topics, theoretical deliberations that crosscut geographical boundaries, and research of particular sites, regions, or cultures. The length of individual talks will be approximately 20 minutes, although the specifics will ultimately depend on the final number of presentations. The conference language is English.
Information about SEAA, SEAA membership, and the Eighth Worldwide Conference in Nanjing (including the registration and proposal forms as well as post-conference tours and accommodation options) will be published on the SEAA website as they become available.
The deadline for the submission of presentation and session proposals is December 1, 2017.
All conference participants are required to be current SEAA members AND to pay the conference registration fee of USD120.
SEAA members whose membership expires prior to the conference will be notified by email by the SEAA Treasurer so that they have the chance to renew their membership ahead of time. Relevant forms and instructions for the payment of the SEAA membership and conference registration fees are available on the SEAA website: http://www.seaaweb.org/.
Inquiries regarding a participant's current SEAA membership should be directed to the SEAA Treasurer, Anke HEIN: treasurer@seaa-web.org.
Proposers of individual presentations and organized sessions should fill out the relevant downloadable proposal form and submit it to seaa8@seaa-web.org by no later than December 1, 2017.
Once proposers have become current SEAA members and paid their conference fees, their proposals will be submitted to the conference organizing committee in Nanjing for review. Once the proposals have been accepted, they will be incorporated into the conference program. In the event the proposal is rejected, both the conference and membership fees will be reimbursed.
All non-membership and non-conference registration inquiries should be directed to Professor ZHANG Liangren of Nanjing University (zhlr@nju.edu.cn), including requests from those in need of an acceptance letter confirming their participation at the conference as well as those in need of an invitation letter to obtain a visa for China.
Letters will be available after satisfying membership and conference fee requirements.
Further information regarding the conference (e.g. additional accommodation, postconference excursions, etc.) will be communicated as it becomes available. This will be done on the SEAA website itself, as well as by occasional emails sent to all current members.

Roadchix : Cross Country Adventure : Washington, D.C.
After seven weeks and 11,500 miles of touring, people, laughter, arguments, and roads I was back to Washington, D.C. When I pulled into my development that night, reality finally hit me. Sitting in the driveway, I realized that after 6 months of planning and 7 weeks of traveling, it was over. I sat there remembering everything with tears running down my face. I laugh when I think about what a sorry sight I was. Here I was ragged and tired, hauling bags out of my dirty car and into the house, all the while sobbing as though my heart had broken.
I just didn't want the fun to end. Back to work and to the day to day drudgery of commuting over two hours a day just couldn't be. Fortunately, this wasn't the end for Beth and me. We just keep on going. Once a year, we plan a trip to see something we've never seen before. The only requirement is that the destination must be chock full of the unusual. Fortunately, every place has its oddities if you look hard enough.
Since the 7-week tour, we've been all over. The fun never ends, because there's always a trip in the works. Vacationing is not expensive. There's no replacement for good planning, a fertile imagination and an open mind. Watch out Roadside America here we come.

Interagency Personnel Agreement
A contract may be terminated at any time at the request of the federal or state authority, tribal government, higher education institution or any other organization participating in the program. Where possible, the party terminating the assignment before the agreed date should notify the other parties of a 30-day delay in advance and a statement of reasons. A staff member of a non-federal organization must be employed by that organization for at least 90 days before entering into a DAP agreement. The regulations of the Intergovernmental Personnel Act provide that "other organizations" have the right to participate and define what "another organization" is. They also require that organizations interested in participating in the mobility program as "another organization" be authorized by the federal agency with which they enter into an agreement. If an organization has already been certified by an agency, this certification is permanent and can be applied to the entire federal government. Another agency may accept this certification or require an organization to submit appropriate documents for verification. Certification applications should contain a copy of: For federal employees, the agreement should ensure that the agent is aware of his obligation to return to federal service for a period corresponding to the duration of the transfer or to be responsible for all transfer-related expenses (salary and exclusive benefits). The allocations under the PPI are initiated by a written agreement and must be implemented. All USGS (USGS) orders are documented on an optional form 69, award agreement.
The agreement documents the conditions of the assignment, such as tasks. B tasks, obligations and tax benefits, employee rights and obligations. The agreement must be signed by the assignee, the accreditation officer of the non-federal organization concerned and the authorizing officer of the relevant USGS, i.e. the reports of the heads of office to the deputy director/director; and managers/supervisors who report directly to an associate director or regional executive). Permissions must be received before a contract begins. Back to the higher duties of the Intergovernmental Personnel Act are initiated by management. The evolution of the proposed allocation should be controlled by management. Benefits to the federal agency and the non-federal organization are the main considerations in launching contracts; not the personal wishes or needs of a single employee. The assignment is voluntary and must be agreed by the staff member. The regulations stipulate that an assignment must be implemented by a written agreement. With respect to the development of a contract involving the transfer of a non-federal worker to a federal agency, the agreement should stipulate that the worker may return to the non-federal position held prior to the transfer or in comparable pay, service and seniority, and that the worker`s rights and benefits be fully protected.
Agencies are no longer subject to transfer agreements to the Office of Human Resources Management. The information contained in this publication will help agencies manage the mobility programme on a daily basis. Questions or comments on these procedures. Please authorize at least four (4) weeks from the date when a new PPI proposal and a pre-registered VA agreement on the processing and implementation of the agreement are submitted by the VA and at least three (3) weeks for proposals for extensions/agreements. An order may be terminated at any time at the choice of the federal or non-federal organization.

All women share their thoughts, emotions and projects during the days prior to the New Moon, opening sacred space for the New Moon energy. Also, women with their period are invited to bleed freely in the Tent, using their own scarves or mantels. The Tent that we use normally is used also as a INIPI / Sweat Lodge where we perform shamanic ceremonies as the Indians use to.
Do you ask participants to bring anything, wear red or make a donation?: Yes. Women must wear Red and I also ask for a donation (5€).
A Red Tent is to me, a gathering, in essence a place in which women meet to share and support each other. A safe and honoured gathering in which we hold space for each other. A loving and open place. Going back to ancient times, women have gathered to share experiences unique to us. It is safety, joy, sharing and love.

Eva Sonaike's journey to becoming a textile designer began when she realised she could no longer stand the bland character of the small flat she and her husband used to share. "I was on maternity leave and I felt the need to make it warm, welcoming and more 'us'," she says. Eva headed to London's Petticoat Lane market and bought bolts of bright African wax fabrics to make into cushion covers, throws and curtains.
"As a quick fix, it worked," she says. "Of course, I now know that those materials aren't right for upholstery – too flimsy, not colourfast and so on. But it made me see very clearly how vibrant fabrics can bring joy into a space."
Ten years later, Eva has moved on – both career-wise and to a new home. She's designing full time, working from a studio in the garden of her 1930s house in north London, where she lives with her husband Kola Sonaike, a barrister, their son Lolu, aged 10, and daughter Lola, eight.
"When we bought this house it was a typical semi and the downstairs rooms were fairly dark," says Eva. The couple knocked through the ground floor rooms and extended it to create one large split-level space. "My wish list was simple: white walls, dark floors and lots of light," says Eva. "I knew I was going to add colour and pattern. And I think that works best with a light, clean backdrop."

Inspiration for her fabric designs comes from the regular trips she has made to west Africa since she was a child. While Eva was born in Germany and lived there until moving to London in her 20s to work as a fashion editor, her heritage is Nigerian. "I grew up knowing that fabrics were held in high esteem in Yoruba culture," she says. "Thickly woven aso oke cloth was once a form of currency and is still given as a special gift. Or the embroidery on clothing could hold meaning – it might ward off evil, bring wealth or attract a spouse. Fabrics were never just pieces of cloth . They always told some kind of story."
Eva still travels to Africa each year with her own family, trips that now provide the stories for her own designs. "When I'm there, I'm like a sponge," she says. "I soak up visual stimuli, the scents and the atmosphere. I see patterns in everything, from architecture to nature."

The motifs she sketches are later scanned into Photoshop, where she refines them and adds colours. Eva points to her Ijoba cushion, featuring lush leaves arranged in a stylised 50s-feel pattern. "This one came about after a trip to Ghana for a wedding. Afterwards we took the children up into the mountains to visit an old botanical gardens," she says. "Everyone said: 'Don't bother, it's so run-down' – but that just made me want to go even more. When we arrived, the place was shrouded in mist and it felt as if nature had been left to run wild. The gardens were teeming with life – plants unfurling and exploding into flower."
Another design, Ojo, was inspired by the tropical modernism-style walls and balconies of Lagos, reimagined by Eva into an elegant grid of golds and reds. "That post-colonial architecture is an everyday feature of Lagos life," she says. "I wanted to bring out its beauty." Other prints feature zebra stripes recast in neon shades, a softened version of batik and shapes inspired by Yoruba embroidery.
In her home, Eva's patterns are complemented by African artefacts that have been in her family since the 1960s and 1970s. "My father was an art historian, so he had a very good eye," she says. Eva and Kola have added carved figures bought more recently in Lagos's craft markets. "Look beyond rows of statues darkened with shoe polish and sanded to 'age' them and you'll always find beautifully crafted objects," she says.
Other pieces in Eva's home include German antiques, a table from north Africa (by way of a Fulham dealer) and high street buys from Habitat and Ikea. Eva also confesses to a bit of a HomeSense habit for vases and lamp bases. "My daughter used to do a gym class near a branch, which was fatal. Luckily, she's just switched to a ballet class further away."

OIL FUTURES: Crude Futures Hit 31-Month High; China Data Impress
By David Winning
Published: Apr 1, 2011 2:44 a.m. ET
DavidWinning
SYDNEY (MarketWatch) -- Crude-oil futures rose to a two-and-a-half year high in Asia Friday, as traders bet that an acceleration in China's manufacturing sector will tighten the global oil market at a time when supply is disrupted in Libya.
On the New York Mercantile Exchange, light, sweet crude futures for delivery in May traded at $106.84 a barrel at 0641 GMT, up $0.12 in the Globex electronic session. The front-month contract earlier hit an intraday peak of $107.65, its highest price since late September 2008.
May Brent crude on London's ICE Futures exchange fell $0.12 to $117.24 a barrel.
Rising Chinese oil demand played a major role in supporting oil prices since the financial crisis, but it has been overshadowed recently by unrest in the Middle East and North Africa, two regions that produce much of the world's crude.
China's official Purchasing Managers Index rose to 53.4 in March from 52.2 in February, according to the China Federation of Logistics & Purchasing, which issues the data with the National Bureau of Statistics.
The rise in the PMI indicates a rebound in manufacturing activity in March after three consecutive months of slowdowns, which could help ease concerns about a sharp economic deceleration in the country and provide room for more tightening measures in coming months to curb inflation.
A separate survey by HSBC Holdings PLC also showed the pace of manufacturing expansion in China has stabilised after slowing in February.
Economic news will continue to guide crude futures later Friday, with the U.S. due to issue non-farm payrolls data. The median forecast of economists is for a gain of 195,000 jobs, broadly consistent with employment data issued earlier in the week.
Traders are increasingly concerned that a rosier-looking demand picture will stretch the oil market too far, given that 1.65 million barrels a day of Libyan oil production is offline.
Jim Ritterbusch, president of oil trading advisory firm Ritterbusch & Associates, said Saudi Arabia is helping to cover some of the lost Libyan barrels, but global stock draws have provided the balance of needs to European refiners.
Libyan rebel fighters Thursday gave more ground back to forces loyal to Col. Moammar Gadhafi, who laid siege to the city of Brega where key oil infrastructure is located with artillery and rockets.
The advance by pro-Gadhafi forces on Brega, after reclaiming the oil-refinery town of Ras Lanuf, has dashed hopes in the market for an early restart to Libyan oil exports.
"Even if some Libyan sales do resume through unconventional channels, the obstacles for a return to normalcy in industry involve political chasms with dimensions far beyond the supply of petroleum to a tight market," said Lawrence Eagles, an analyst at J.P. Morgan.
Gordon Kwan, head of regional energy at Mirae Asset Securities, said the Libyan tensions have coincided with refinery maintenance in Europe, which has meant oil demand is more subdued than usual.
This will intensify demand for supplies of high quality, low-sulfur crude oil that matches the lost Libyan barrels, as many refineries cannot process the lower-quality crude from Saudi Arabia that has been added to the market as cover. Already the premium on prices of some light, sweet crudes--such as those from Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan--has soared to an all-time high, Kwan said.
"Until now, the physical market has not realized the full extent of the missing Libyan barrels," he said.
Also driving oil prices higher was the weakening U.S. dollar, amid continued expectations for a rate hike from the European Central Bank at next week's policy meeting.
The euro was at $1.4171 against the dollar from $1.4155 late Thursday in New York. Oil becomes cheaper for holders of other currencies as the dollar weakens.
Nymex reformulated gasoline blendstock for May--the benchmark gasoline contract--rose 21 points to $3.1098 a gallon, while May heating oil traded at $3.1052, 73 points lower.
ICE gasoil for April changed hands at $994.50 a metric ton, up $1.50 from Thursday's settlement.

Q: Visual Composer: Where do I find the source code of a custom element? I am trying to make some custom changes in a Wordpress template build on Visual Composer, but have not found the source codes of Visual Composers elements within my Wordpress installation.
I found a vc_map():
vc_map( array(
    "name"     => __( "Contact / info form", "vh" ),
    "base"     => "mid_contact_form",
    "icon"     => "icon-wpb-ui-gap-content",
    "class"    => "",
    "category" => __( "by AutoRepair", "vh" ),
    "params"   => array(
    array(
            "type"        => "textfield",
            "class"       => "",
            "heading"     => __( "Custom class", "vh" ),
            "admin_label" => true,
            "param_name"  => "custom_class",
            "value"       => "",
            "description" => __( "Custom class", "vh" )
        ),
    array(
            "type"        => "textfield",
            "class"       => "",
            "heading"     => __( "Contact form Id", "vh" ),
            "admin_label" => true,
            "param_name"  => "contact_id",
            "value"       => "",
            "description" => __( "Contact form Id", "vh" )
        )
)));

which seems to be responsible for the appearing of the Element

"Contact / info form"

but do not know where to get the source code of this element from.
P.S. I am grepping the hell out of my whole wordpress installation and the source code seems to be nowhere?

A: The problem of not finding the elements was that the installed Wordpress version of my template (Cohhe Autorepair) installed a template specific plugin, which was only compressed in the local (offline) template version. Uncompressing the plugin yielded success with
grep "some text" -nr /templateFolder

The final directory was given by:
/wp-content/plugins/autorepair-plugin/lib/functions/shortcodes.php


Sympathetic or other regional pain syndromes are poorly understood and challenging to treat. Initially called Causalgia, at the time of the Civil War, and later renamed Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy or RSD, and now known as Complex Regional Pain Syndrome, chronic regional pain syndrome, or CRPS, this pathologic complex remains a syndrome rather than a distinct disease entity. In fact it was renamed for that reason and for the fact that its pathophysiology remains largely unelucidated.
Two types of chronic regional pain syndrome are generally recognized, Type 1 where no identifiable nerve injury is present and Type 2 where a distinct nerve insult is identifiable. Diagnoses must be based on exam, history, symptoms and response to therapy, as commonly utilized diagnostic tests are, for the most part, useless except for rare patients. EMG and electrodiagnostic tests are negative with the exception of the QNS test in certain instances, thermography may be useful but is nonspecific and not generally validated, Bone Scans are almost always negative except in the most advanced cases when treatment is even less likely to be effective. The hallmark of the syndrome presentation is that symptoms are very much out of proportion to the nature of the injury and often to that of it's initial physical manifestations. Besides pain and altered local function, patients have sleep pathology which is distinct from a purely pain mediated sleep disturbance, and memory issues are common. This highlights that the pathology has systemic components.
The treating physician must really look very closely for telltale subtle changes of local skin temperature, sweating, color, tone, signs of edema, hair growth and restrictions of movement and for abnormal sensations to touch or temperature change. In general, the longer the symptoms have been present, the less likely an acceptable outcome is to be expected. In some cases an insignificant injury such as a paper cut, or a period of immobilization due to casting, has triggered the syndrome pathophysiology. The longer and more severe the affected area is isolated, guarded and underutilized, the worse the expected outcome. Hence treatment with interventional, physical therapeutic, and medical management can be crucial to optimize patient outcome. Patients treated at our centers have had generally good outcomes in terms of pain and function. Importantly, it is obvious that many Migraine and Cluster headache patients have sympathetic mediated pathologies involved in their headache syndromes, and have benefitted from our proprietary treatment options.

QUARRY BOUGHT TO BUILD ULTRA-MODERN 'THE ZONE BOULEVARD'
Published on June 13, 2016 in Projects
An entire quarry was bought to ensure the black-granite for this building in the Zone Boulevard embodied elements of natural surroundings and bustling city.
An entire quarry was bought to ensure the black-granite for this building embodied elements of natural surroundings and bustling city. The Zone Boulevard is located between Cradock Avenue and Oxford Road in Rosebank, and is part of the multimillion-rand redevelopment of the Zone @ Rosebank shopping centre that started in mid-2015. To ensure the façade of The Boulevard had a flawless finish, an entire quarry was bought. The purchase of the quarry also ensured guaranteed quality, price and speedy acquisition and delivery. The building is home to Life Healthcare on the top two storeys, and, on the ground floor, News Café, RocoMamas and Bombay Blue restaurants.
"We gave the architects a brief to create an innovative landmark building that has gravitas, yet 'disappears', allowing the tenants and users of the building to take centre stage," says Anton Bieber, portfolio manager for the Rosebank Node at JHI, Property Managers for Old Mutual Property, owners of The Zone @Rosebank. The standout piece of architecture with its distinctive granite cladding is characterised inside by frameless glass folding shopfronts on the ground floor and a spectacular glass atrium built on the top two storeys to allow in plenty of natural light and showcase the Jacaranda trees synonymous with the area.
A challenge was to source granite that had a uniform finish. "We discovered that when looking at two separate pieces of granite, it wasn't always easy to pick up glaring variations in speckle spread," says Nithin Mohan, project manager for BTKM Quantity Surveyors; "it was only when placed side-by-side that the differences became obvious." The solution was the acquisition of a quarry, so a faultless end-result could be accomplished.
"We had to use the expert help of an experienced team of consultants to find a system that could support the granite as a ceiling and ensure that even the fixing of the panels could not be seen," explains Rashma Patel of RPv Architecture, designers of The Boulevard. This was finally accomplished, and resulted in a super-slick, seamless look.
The project was rolled out in two phases, starting in May 2015. The ground floor was completed first, and existing tenant Bombay Blue restaurant continued trading throughout the construction. "One of our challenges was to ensure that patrons of Bombay Blue were not disturbed, and their safety was of utmost importance," explains Mohan. The second phase, concluded in January this year, involved the first and second floors.
The three-level, ultra-modern Zone Boulevard building embodies elements of both the natural surroundings and the bustling city. The double-volume entrance ceiling was designed to symbolise the city grid and the movement of the people across the square. "We designed an aluminium ceiling with a crisscross intersection of lights," says Patel, "and below the ceiling we also hung lights at different levels, mimicking the busy city life."
It also boasts Rosebank's first public green space, a spectacular 90m2 vertical wall garden featuring a hydroponic irrigation system. The vertical wall garden is the largest living wall in Africa and has become a much-talked-about organic space.

Q: do for loops deallocate memory after they finish Let's say you wrote a for loop:
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
   for (int j = 0; j < 10; j++)

Is that for loop creating 10 different j variables, and does it deallocate i and j after its done looping?
I have seen many people do this instead:
int i, j, k

for (i = 0; i < 10; i++)
   for (j = 0; j < 10; j++)
//..All The Loops..//

Is there any advantage of declaring the i j k variables before all of your loops, or is it just a personal preference?

A: All of the variables in question are being created in automatic storage. They are destroyed when they go out of scope. The two examples are simply declaring the variables in different scopes.
In the first example, i is scoped to the outer loop, meaning i exists only while the loop is running. It is created when the loop begins, and it is destroyed when the loop ends:
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) { <- created here
    <statements>
} <- destroyed here

Same with j in the inner loop:
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) { <- i created here
    for (int j = 0; j < 10; j++) { <- j created here
       <statements>
    } <- j destroyed here
} <- i destroyed here

In the second example, the variables are scoped to the outer block which the loops exist in.  So the variables already exist before the outer loop begins, and they continue to exist after the loop ends.
{
    ...
    int i, j, k; <- created here

    for (i = 0; i < 10; i++)
        for (j = 0; j < 10; j++)
           ...

    ...
} <- destroyed here

A: for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)  are only allowed in C99 or C11 mode, it's a more modern style.
You should declare i before use it when worked with very old compiler.

(How) Is it possible to draw a velocity curve e. g. for a snare drum fill?
Other than drawing it in by hand, you could use this method to use the automation curves (a little cumbersome but it would get you the result). If you don't mind using the device/plug-in's output volume instead, that's an option too.
Is velocity sensitivity broken for the E-Clap device?
