YouView CEO: Don't count us out yet
by Jim Barthold |
Even though its launch was delayed more than once, YouView is still a viable IPTV service that will succeed, Richard Halton, the company's chief executive, said during the IBC 2012 Conference in Amsterdam.
Because IPTV is relatively immature in the U.K.--as far as market size is concerned--YouView believes it has an opportunity to build share. YouView has "become the debut platform for some content services," Halton said, according to a story in USwitch. "The lack of U.K. penetration to date of Apple and Google also gives a clue that we are not behind."
U.K. households are already accustomed to plugging smart TVs into set-top boxes, so Halton expressed confidence that the YouView model of selling boxes would succeed.
YouView may have launched late, but now that it's operating it is taking advantage of the latest trends within the industry, including exploring second screen offerings, Halton added.
"There are different partnership opportunities, so what I am looking for is how you treat this in the home, using a second screen app," he said in a BroadbandTVNews story. "The cloud is too far away to control the TV, so you're looking at Wi-Fi."
YouView isn't the only one looking at Wi-Fi. Set-top box maker Amino Communications will now be using a Wi-Fi USB solution from chipset5 and software provider Celeno Communications, according to an article in Advanced Television.
The Amino Wi-Fi USB dongle will be especially important for service providers that want to enable after-market IP set-tops to wirelessly receive HD content, the two companies said.

Christie may be a little down, but he's not out
Phil Gregory
One political analyst says New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie's lame-duck status and his low 18 percent voter approval rating are eroding his political leverage. (Mel Evans/AP Photo)
Despite some setbacks this week, political analysts don't count Gov. Chris Christie out when it comes to getting some priorities enacted in the final year of his term.
Christie failed to persuade lawmakers to pass a bill allowing towns to put legal notices on their websites instead of paying to publish them in newspapers. And a measure that would have allowed him to profit from a book deal while he is still in office was declared dead.
Christie's lame-duck status and his low 18 percent voter approval rating erode his political leverage, said Peter Woolley, Fairleigh Dickinson political science professor.
"I think he can still accomplish things because he has enormous bargaining power given his powers of appointment, given his veto power," Woolley said. "It's just a matter of what he chooses to advance on the agenda."
Rider University political scientist Ben Dworkin said Christie still has the ability to be effective, but it could be harder than in the past to advance his agenda.
"Democrats control the legislature. If they want a better deal, they're going to try to hold out for a year and get a Democrat in the front office in order to be able to do what they want to do," he said.
Meanwhile, Senate President Steve Sweeney said the governor might be able to get some things through the legislature.
"It's just a matter of what he wants to address going forward," said Sweeney, D-Gloucester. "People say well he's a weakened governor, he's this, he's that. He's still the governor with the strongest powers of any governor in the United States of America. So you can decide you want to accomplish some things where you're just going to fight for a year."
Sweeney said he'll work with Christie, who leaves office in January 2018, on issues he believes will move the state forward.
The Garden State expects to ultimately open six vaccination mega-sites, along with pharmacies and other smaller locations currently administering doses.
Why NJ's decision to vaccinate smokers has some people angry
New federal guidelines list smoking as a condition that does increase the risk for COVID-19. Some with asthma are upset. So are some nonsmokers.

A vote of no confidence?
July 20, 2016Article, Elections, Frontpage, Opinion, Politics18 comments
by PCGM
Today's announcement that Andy Foster is joining the ranks of disaffected councillors seeking the mayoralty has underlined how bad things have become at the Wellington City Council – it's become a free-for-all to displace Celia Wade-Brown.
Of course, some candidacies are more serious than others. Jo Coughlan and Celia Wade-Brown are duking it out for the mayoral chains without the fallback option of a Ward seat, but Nicola Young, Helene Ritchie, Justin Lester and new entrant Andy Foster all appear to be putting a dollar each way. So perhaps there's some truth to the idea that their mayoral campaigns are just a way to lift their profiles ahead of hard-fought Ward races.
All the council challengers seem to be saying the same thing – that leadership around the council table has been lacking, and that they have no confidence that Wellington's future challenges will be addressed with Celia at the helm. Some of the frustration undoubtedly stems from the lack of momentum on key projects, such as the Town Hall refurbishment (or complete lack thereof), while there also appears to be widespread dissatisfaction with transport projects.
The mishandling of the Island Bay Cycleway may also be a factor. Celia has been generous in the blame-spreading, but there's no getting away from the fact that some councillors feel they've been unfairly tarred with that particular brush.
And in that context, the councillors who want to see an airport extension must be looking at the cycleway and wondering about leadership – if a couple of million dollars worth of local cycleway can be turned into such a fiasco, what's the odds of a major airport extension worth a third of a billion dollars being successful with the same people in charge?
This level of antipathy for a two-term mayor appears unprecedented. We're struggling to think of another example where fully one third of the council has effectively revolted against its leadership, after less than six years.
And even if by some miracle Celia does retain the mayoralty, it's hard to imagine how the council can function in its next term. Looking around the council chamber, Celia will be eyeballing a large number of people whose campaigns represented a vote of no confidence in her leadership. It's hard to see how Wellington is going to decisively move forward in the circumstances, particularly given that most of the senior portfolio leaders and the current deputy mayor are to be found in the ranks of the dissenters.
So what's the solution?
No matter what, it's going to be a hard-fought campaign compared to the cake-walk we thought the incumbent might enjoy just a few weeks ago. But the question about the viability of the resulting council does need to be addressed. The last thing Wellington needs is a lame-duck mayor with a council in open revolt – it's a recipe for contention and inaction. There's a growing consensus from the people around her that her leadership isn't working, so perhaps the question we need to ask is – should Celia step aside and let a fresh face take charge?
Pablo, 20. July 2016, 20:02
Whoever enforces a max # of terms in the council will get my vote. Politicians should not stay longer than 2 terms. [via twitter]
Jack Little, 20. July 2016, 20:39
When candidates go too far from the centre they loose touch with ratepayers & what's really important. With Celia & Justin on the far left and Nicola on the far right it looks really like a centre Mayor-only battle between Jo Coughlan and Nic Leggett for real focus on jobs and growth for Wellington – and that's saying a lot when Nic's not even from Wellington!
CC, 20. July 2016, 22:24
Celia and Justin on the far left? You've got to be joking Jack. Both are beholden to the neo-liberal CEO and the endless whims of the business and property speculator sectors. Obviously, the far right is represented by Jo Coughlan, except for the fact that she constantly seems to find private sector initiatives that she thinks the ratepayers should subsidise. An additional worry is that the Councillor thinks her hot-line to the Minister of Finance may provide an open-sesame to tax money as well. Nicola, despite her pedigree, seems to fail to reach the far-right descriptor and Nic's claim to fame appears to be his ability to ramp up rates, as in Porirua, with little to show for it. Not to worry though, there are other Council seat warmers who seem to be joining the queue for a grab at the Mayoral chains. It seems the only thing missing is a capable and competent candidate who has the ability to consult with, and listen to those that pay the wages. Where is the intelligent Generation Zero candidate when one is desperately needed?
Charlotte, 20. July 2016, 22:47
Very good article thanks. Recent resignations reinforce how bad the Celia/Justin/Andy regime has been. Still not sure about Nick. I still suspect that he is just trying to get a springboard for the launch of his new Social Democrat Party. It could well be Coughlan (who assured me today she will not be seeking a place in the 2017 Parliament).
Mark Cubey, 20. July 2016, 23:43
Justin Lester is not standing for Council. [via twitter]
Charlotte, 21. July 2016, 6:20
Thanks Mark. I am a bit confused about Justin. Someone suggested to me the other day that his team were worried that he wasn't resonating despite the money and resource being put in. They were suggesting that he might like to think about running in another ward so that he could keen name recognition up for the challenge to Peter Dunne next year. But it seems he has decided not to run in Northern.
Nora, 21. July 2016, 6:29
The lack of confidence reflects on the CEO whose contribution has not been great. He wanted to demolish the Town Hall, it would appear that councillors are not free to approach council officers for information, council meetings are fewer, and I understand a high turnover of staff.
Will, 21. July 2016, 8:27
Isn't Nicola Young the Generation Zero candidate? Her stuff on pedestrianising Lambton Quay and challenging the disastrous groupthink on the runway extension fits the GenZero playbook perfectly. Lester, Coughlan and Leggett are the environmental dinosaurs, with runways and motorways galore.
Ian Apperley, 21. July 2016, 12:00
"Where is the intelligent Generation Zero candidate when one is desperately needed?"
Bloody good question. I think that the Gens x, y, and z just see the Council as a dysfunctional dinosaur. Frankly, you can make a lot more change from outside the (burning) circus tent than you can inside.
Laidback Chap, 21. July 2016, 15:30
Are we all getting our knickers in a twist? The only officially nominated Mayoral Candidate is Helene Ritchie. How many of the so called candidates will show they just wanted media coverage. Also did Jack Yan announce a year ago he was going to stand? When will he remind us of that?
Nora, this is what is worrying me a little about Nick Leggett coming in from P Town. He seems extremely close to the property developers and in turn they seem to be in love with the CEO. Sure, some of the dysfunction evident on the front page of the Dom Post is the fault of Celia/Justin/Andy but surely the CEO must have considerable responsibility for internal culture? So would Nick as Mayor mean a lack of any oversight of the CEO and even more property developer control of WCC than we have right now? Then there is is his wider long term political ambition and animosity to the current Labour leadership…..
Charlotte – The Deputy and mayoral aspirant is an Executive Member of the Wellington Property Council and previously worked at Director level at CB Richard Ellis and Jones Lang LaSalle. He would no doubt trump Nick Leggett in assisting the CEO when it comes to smoothing the way for developers. Also, isn't Justin Lester responsible for the CEO's performance reviews?
Rumpole, 21. July 2016, 20:41
They all need to appear before a jury and be sentenced accordingly. Home detention denied.
The City is Ours, 21. July 2016, 21:15
CC and Charlotte: In response to an official information act request in April, Peter Brennan. the council's Manager Property, replied;
A. Is the Wellington City Council a member of the New Zealand Property Council?
B. If so, how much in membership fees are paid annually?
Council's corporate membership fee for 2014/15 was $3,253.00.
C. If so, does it intend to renew its membership?
Thanks City is Ours. In some areas of public life, such affiliations would be considered unethical, especially when the Council acts in concert with Property Council members in Court proceedings brought by ratepayers (e.g. Curtis Street or various waterfront appeals).
I knew about Leggett's intimate connections with the property speculators. But Lester as well? This is all quite shocking.
I feel for Justin. Tonight's Morgan poll will probably be giving him cause for reflection about his chances of a pay rise by moving into Parliament. (And now by not standing in a Ward there is no fall back). But it might be encouraging Nick, Josie, Andrew Bowater etc to up activity on the breakaway Party front.
Marion Leader, 22. July 2016, 16:18
I agree with CC. And I expect that a conflict of interests would stop the Mayor & Co from belonging to any ratepayers' associations.
Charlotte, you may well be worried about the resignation of Pete Whiting after only 4 months with the WCC, saying council powerbrokers largely ignored his experience and ideas. In reply Council Acting Chief Executive Greg Orchard said "Mr Whiting had some arguably justifiable grievances." But ratepayers have to worry – where is the CEO Kevin Lavery?

Vegan Vending Machines to Sweep Across US
Plant-based living is about to get even easier
A new company is looking to install plant-based vending machines in strategic places across the US, and it's raised more than $2.2 million in funding to make it happen. The available prepared meals will all be 100% vegan.
leCupboard, which has a cafe in Church Street, Noe Valley, San Francisco is aiming to take their vending machines nationwide.
But they aren't the traditional vending machines full of junk foods and soft drinks - they will contain delicious prepared plant-based meals designed to act as preventative healthcare.
"The goal is to reconnect preventative healthcare with food," says Lamiaâ Bounahmidi, the founder and CEO of leCupboard:
"Everyone is going around talking about food as medicine, but there is more to it than going organic or eating vegetables."
Their mission is to turn the food system 'rightside up':
According to leCupboard: "Under the current food and retail industries, our norm is to accept compromises at the loss of accessibility, health, and sustainability. We have paved another way to turn the food system rightside up.
The meals, which are designed for optimal nutrition, include chia pudding breakfast jars, lentil salads and zucchini noodle bowls with walnut pesto and will be conveniently available from the vending machines with affordable pricing.
leCupboard plan to roll out 30 of the vending machines in California over the next 3 months, followed by another 200 across the country soon after.
Supporting their mission to increase the accessibility of healthy living, expect to find these vending machines in places where customers might not already have access to healthy food, such as hospitals, offices, and food deserts - areas where access to affordable fresh fruits and vegetables is difficult.
The rate of people adopting plant-based diets is increasing and it continues to get easier and more convenient to go vegan with an increasing number of restaurants and products catering to the rapidly expanding vegan demographic. This year we've seen cafes go vegan after watching a YouTube video, ice-cream parlours ditching dairy, as well as popular pizzerias removing animal products from their menus. The world's first vegan drive-thru opened this month in Canada and a large vegetarian company announced they would soon veganize all their products.
Even New York's largest dairy company completely ditched dairy after declining sales and is now solely producing plant-based milks instead.
Earlier this year in Europe a group of Danish politicians went vegan to bring awareness of the environmental benefits of a plant-based diet, and 24 EU members of parliament signed a letter urging Europe to shift to plant-based diet, citing the health and sustainability benefits.
All over the world people are waking up to the reality that meat consumption, our health and the environment are all intrinsically linked and we are inching closer and closer to the plant-based revolution that Google predicted last year.

A new report from the GSM Association (GSMA) predicts that 5G connectivity based on millimetre-wave (mmWave) frequencies will be responsible for adding around £458 billion to global gross domestic product (GDP) and a further £120 billion to tax revenues from 2020 to 2034 – but only if governments support it with sufficient spectrum.
In the GSMA report, Socio-Economic Benefits of 5G Services Provided in mmWave Bands, mmWave is highlighted as being key to carrying high-capacity 5G services with the highest data rates and lowest latencies, supporting new use cases not currently possible on previous-generation cellular infrastructures. These, the report details, include everything from ultra-fast mobile broadband for consumers through to industrial automation, improved telemedicine, always-on remote sensors, remote object manipulation systems, drones, and even autonomous transportation.
"The global mobile ecosystem knows how to make spectrum work to deliver a better future," claims Brett Tarnutzer, head of spectrum at the GSMA. "Mobile operators have a history of maximising the impact of our spectrum resources and no one else has done more to transform spectrum allocations into services that are changing people's lives. Planning spectrum is essential to enable the highest 5G performance and government backing for mmWave mobile spectrum at WRC-19 will unlock the greatest value from 5G deployments for their citizens.
The GSMA report recommends that governments work together on global harmonisation of the 26 GHz, 40 GHz, and 66-71 GHz bands for mobile connectivity use at the World Radiocommunication Conference 2019 (WRC-19); outside this event, the GSMA has also highlighted 28 GHz as an emerging frequency for mmWave use.
Lime Microsystems' is in support of increased use of mmWave frequencies highlighted by the GSMA report, with a product roadmap covering frequencies all the way to 100 GHz. The GSMA report, meanwhile, is available here (PDF warning).

"Google will begin showing anti-ISIS ads to counter terrorism"
The idea, the Internet giant says, is to provide a sort of alternative narrative to those looking for information about extremism. In a statement, a Google spokesperson further explained, "What was referenced is a pilot Google AdWords Grants program that's in the works right now with a handful of eligible non-profit organizations. The program enables NGOs to place counter-radicalization ads against search queries of their choosing."
In addition to the counter-terrorism ads, Google is also ensuring that its subsidiary YouTube makes anti-extremism videos more discoverable, further aiding the overall efforts against ISIS and similar groups.
The move comes in the midst of an ongoing debate about the role and responsibility that social media groups should accept in responding to the proliferation of extremism.

Q: get output as a vector in R during a loop How can I get the output as a vector in R?
For example, if I want to have
for (i in 1:1000) {if i mod 123345 = 0, a = list(i)}
a

but I would want to find all i that divide evenly into 123345 (i.e., factors), and not just the largest one.

A: There may be a more concise way to do this, but I would do it this way:
i <- 1:1000
j <- i[12345 %% i == 0 ]

The resulting vector j contains a vector of the values in i which are factors of 12345. In R the modulo operator is %% and it's a bit of a bitch to find when searching on your own. It's buried in the help document for arithmetic operators and you can find it by searching for + which must be in quotes like: ?"+" and then you have to read down a bit.
You better add a VBA tag if you want to find a VBA answer. But I suspect it will involve the VBA modulo operator ;)

A: JD Long's method is really the first that came to mind, but another:
Filter(function(x) !(12345 %% x), 1:1000)

I think it's kind of fun to avoid any need for an explicit assignment. (Kind of too bad to create a new function each time.) (In this case, "!" converts a non-zero value to FALSE and zero to TRUE. "Filter" picks out each element evaluating to TRUE.)
Also avoiding the need for a separate allocation and not creating a new function:
which(!(12345 %% 1:1000))

Timing:
> y <- 1:1000
> system.time(replicate(1e5, y[12345 %% y == 0 ]))
   user  system elapsed
  8.486   0.058   8.589
> system.time(replicate(1e5, Filter(function(x) !(12345 %% x), y)))

Timing stopped at: 90.691 0.798 96.118  # I got impatient and killed it
# Even pulling the definition of the predicate outside,
# it's still too slow for me want to wait for it to finish.
# I'm surprised Filter is so slow.
> system.time(replicate(1e5, which(!12345 %% y)))
   user  system elapsed
 11.618   0.095  11.792

So, looks like JD Long's method is the winner.

A: You wrote:
for (i in 1:1000) {if i mod 123345 = 0, a = list(i)} a

JD Long's code is much better, but if you wanted this loopy strategy to work try instead:
a <- vector(mode="list"); for (i in 1:1000) {if (123345 %% i == 0){ a <-c(a,i) } }
as.vector(unlist(a))

Oregon Gov. Brown to order statewide mask mandate, require vaccines for state workers
Tracy Loew
Gov. Kate Brown will announce new statewide indoor mask requirements during a news conference Wednesday.
Brown also will require all state agency employees to be fully vaccinated by Oct. 18, or earlier if a vaccine receives federal approval. Employees will not have the option of weekly testing instead of vaccination.
The measures are in response to a surge in COVID-19 hospitalizations, Brown said in a news release.
New state modeling shows that without a mask mandate, COVID-19 hospitalizations will far exceed Oregon's health system capacity in the next several weeks.
"Oregon is facing a spike in COVID-19 hospitalizations — consisting overwhelmingly of unvaccinated individuals — that is quickly exceeding the darkest days of our winter surge," Brown said.
"I know Oregonians are tired of health and safety restrictions," Brown said. "This new mask requirement will not last forever, but it is a measure that can save lives right now."
Brown lifted all statewide restrictions on June 30, including mask and social distancing requirements, making counties responsible for ensuring local public health.
COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations have exploded in the past six weeks, driven by the more contagious delta variant.
Oregon has reported more than 1,000 new cases per day on nine of the past 14 days. On Aug. 10, there were 2,329 reported new cases, passing the pandemic's all-time high of 1,712 on Nov. 30.
There were 575 people with COVID-19 in hospitals statewide Monday, nearing the high of 622 on Nov. 30. Brown previously has raised alarms about hospital capacity at 300 COVID-19 hospitalizations.
And the number of people with COVID-19 in intensive care hit an all-time high of 146 Aug. 7, continuing to grow to 148 Monday.
Salem Health reported it had 61 COVID-19 inpatients as of Tuesday morning, with 10 of those in the ICU and nine on a ventilator.
Spokeswoman Lisa Wood said they had 10 times more COVID-19 positive patients hospitalized Tuesday than they had three weeks ago.
"Overall hospital capacity is stretched thin as well, with 469 of 494 licensed beds in use," she said. "We continue to utilize our robust surge plan, which allows us to serve our community during times of increased need. This includes regular evaluation of our capacity for elective procedures."
Wood said 94% of the patients hospitalized at Salem Hospital since Jan. 1 have been unvaccinated. Salem Health continues to offer free walk-in and scheduled appointments for vaccinations at all of its primary care and urgent care clinic locations.
Brown already had taken some steps to curb the virus' spread.
On July 29, she announced that the state will require students and staff in K-12 schools to wear masks indoors this fall.
And on Aug. 4, she ordered the state to require all workers and volunteers in health care settings to be fully vaccinated or receive weekly COVID-19 tests, beginning Sept. 30.
But she had left most decisions up to local leaders.
Masks: Turner's Cascade School District pushes back against Gov. Brown's mandate
On Monday, Multnomah County became the first in the state to implement a mask mandate in all public places. It takes effect Friday. Marion and Polk county officials this week said they would not implement a mandate.
Multnomah County had 105.6 cases per 100,000 residents, while Marion County had 132.9 and Polk County had 193.3.
Multnomah County's test positivity, or the percentage of COVID tests that come back positive, was 5.3%, while Marion County's was 8% and Polk County's was 11.1%.
Brown's previous mask requirements had changed with the virus' spread, but generally required adults to wear masks in most private and public spaces.
Brown's vaccine requirement applies to employees working for all Oregon state agencies, as well as employees of the Oregon State Treasury, Secretary of State's Office, Bureau of Labor & Industries and Department of Justice.
About 25% of Salem's labor force works for the state.
Employees will be required to show proof of vaccination by the deadline. Those unable to be vaccinated due to disability or sincerely held religious belief may be able to qualify for an exception.
"Vaccines are safe and effective, and they are the surest way to prevent Oregonians from ending up in intensive care units," Brown said. "I am taking action to help ensure State of Oregon workplaces are safe for employees and customers alike, and I am strongly encouraging all public and private employers to follow suit by requiring vaccination for their employees.
House Republican Leader Christine Drazan in a statement criticized Brown's announcement.
"The governor has no business mandating COVID-19 vaccines for anybody," she said. "Running over free will is not leadership."
State Treasurer Tobias Read, a Democrat, voiced support for the announcement. Employees in his office will fall under the requirements.
"As public servants, it's our job to protect the public," he said in a statement. "Requiring our workforce to be vaccinated protects those we serve from unnecessary exposure and risk. And it improves our ability to perform the work that Oregonians expect from us."
Late Tuesday, SEIU 503, which represents 72,000 state workers and care providers in Oregon, said it had issued a demand to bargain over the impacts of the vaccine mandate.
"We will fight for paid time off to take the vaccine and recover, exemptions for people with a documented reason for not taking the vaccine, and a seat at the table to ensure that all working people on the job are respected, protected and paid fairly as we continue to fight COVID-19," the union said in a news release.

01-17-1876: Future world heavyweight champion Fred Beell is born in West Prussia, Germany.
04-27-1876: Future world heavyweight champion Frank Alvin Gotch is born in Humboldt, IA.
12-27-1876: A wrestling match between Col. James H. McLaughlin and Jim Owens for a purse of $500 each plus the proceeds of the house and the American championship (held by McLaughlin) took place in Boston, MA with Owens winning the title. According to newspaper reports, the audience was comprised entirely of men and it was an "exceedingly respectable gathering". Dr. John T. Ordway was the referee and J.R. Smith was the umpire for McLaughlin and Mr. M. Kirk was the umpire for Owens.
The contestants were unevenly matched in size with McLaughlin weighing nearly 30 pounds more than Owens and taller also. McLaughlin's strength advantage, however, was negated by his seriously injured left foot. The match began at 8:15 PM and did not end until 1:30 AM. The contest was described as being "uninteresting".
At 1:15 AM neither had been able to gain the deciding fall and they left the stage determined not to wrestle any longer but the crowd became very boisterous and refused to leave until a final fall had taken place. At 1:30 AM, Owens threw McLaughlin over his hip to win the match. Professor Thiebaud Bauer announced himself ready to challenge Owens.
1876 (unspecified): "The Solid Man" William Muldoon joins the New York City police force. He quickly forms the Police Athletic Association and has his first professional wrestling match sometime in late 1876 defeated Thiebaud Bauer.

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. (WCIA) — A massive storm system is making its way across the Great Plains now, and into the Great Lakes later this week. What does this mean for us in Central Illinois?
Below we have a breakdown of all of the areas impacted by the storm. Locally, we are expecting to see moderate rain and a few possible claps of thunder here locally. Remember to check our Weather Now article for the most up to date forecasts, we update it twice daily.
WEATHER NOW: Rain is back for this afternoon/evening, but flakes could return before the weekend starts
Already in places like Oklahoma and Texas last night and early this morning storms brought in hail, damaging winds, and even a few reported tornadoes.
The Storm Prediction Center (SPC) is expecting a multi-day severe threat. On top of what we've already seen from this morning storms, more storms are expected to form later today and through the next few days. Day 1 Outlook keeping the biggest threat from East Texas to Mississippi. Tornadoes, hail, and damaging winds all being the main focus of today's storms.

Car trouble? Are you sick and tired attached to the overheating and unquestionably the non-stop oil leaks? Now and then there are things that we can't troubleshoot, as well well, what mechanics are going to do – only they can do. You can't manage to always figure out which the cause of an oil leak just by your family own diagnosis. You will definitely need to check out a mechanic in a single auto repair shop. But, looking for a incredibly good auto repair shop should be a difficult and as well as challenging process. How write you know you're lifting the right shop? What precisely are the factors your entire family should consider?
The first thing your family should do is through which you should drop and also the shop to see if they have trained, hardworking mechanics and greater end equipment. Of course, there are also other sorts of things you need towards check out. There is always more than joins the eye.

You will have to also consider feedback roughly the search. Ask in the vicinity of. If your corporation know someone who consists of any know how with which often shop, respond to his or or the girls comments. It always will pay to wind up as inquisitive.
Do a huge background check on all of the auto servicing shop. You need and know assuming that the store's mechanics are hands down highly trained and competent.
Ask needed for a written estimate for major upkeep. You can potentially compare prices with added auto restoration shops using checking the group out that you are. You can easily give more shops a functional phone communicate with or look at their websites to performed the research to heal time. You would as well as want to check in line with the excellent of lumber and hardware the outlet uses on behalf of their clients, and the specific brands of their places as perfectly.

New Music Friday with Trichotomy!
The Australian trio Trichotomy returns with The Known and the Unknown on Challenge Records. In a distinct step into new territory electronic sounds merge with acoustic improvisations, while the complexity of their compositions and group improvisations are balanced by graceful melodies and rich harmonies. Vivid and bright, it is compelling listening.
Inspired by a diverse range of influences from Aphex Twin to Vijay Iyer, and Tortoise to The Bad Plus, Trichotomy's music combines a dense rhythmic focus with the melodic clarity of a Pat Metheny, Brad Mehldau, or the modern European jazz of Tord Gustavsen & Nik Bärtsch.
Compositions often find a fine balance between heavily notated sections and completely free improvisations. The Known and the Unknown is an apt description of the material the trio brought to the studio to record in June 2016, but more importantly it is a representation of the push and pull within improvised music. The music cannot exist without both, and both must remain in balance.

Why should you go to the trouble to start blogging, speaking, answering questions or anything else. What's the point?
I've written a little before about this. When you build a brand, it helps you to stand out from others. You become more noticeable, and more likely to get the interview. You allow a potential employer to do some due diligence before they call you for an interview, which gives them more confidence you are the right person for the job.
And that if they call you, knowing your brand, the job is more likely what you want to do. Your brand lets people know what your skills are, what talents you have, and what you might want to do in life.
Working on your own brand also forces you to think about what you want from your career, or in your career, and it helps you to become better. Working on a better brand means getting better at your career in some way. Whether you blog, speak, or do anything else, you have to learn the topic well enough to teach it.
You are building an online brand with everything you do online, and many people in technology are regularly building that brand, so take advantage of it, put a little more effort in and get into the top ten percent of people in your field.
Remember that a brand can have a downside, so use your own version of "The Test" before doing anything online.
And don't forget that just because you have a great job your branding doesn't matter. It can still be useful, even if you don't want a new job.

The big guns are back: 5 talking points as Schmidt names extended 6 Nations squad
January 2, 2023 News
Source: Ryan Byrne/INPHO
The bash brothers are back
They have no biological connection but when Cian Healy and Sean O'Brien are both on the field, their bulldozing ball carrying gives Ireland and Leinster a phenomenal one-two punch. Jack McGrath and Rhys Ruddock deputised well for the duo in the autumn but there is no denying the extra quality that Healy and O'Brien bring to Joe Schmidt's squad.
Leinster were targeting the Dragons game on February 15th to reintroduce the duo but it will be interesting to see whether they are used by Schmidt in the Wolfhounds game against England next Friday night. With Chris Ashton and Slammin' Sam scheduled to be in Cork, the game could be a real cracker.
Iain Henderson is other dynamic forward that Schmidt was able to call upon and like Healy and O'Brien, the faster Ireland can get him back involved, the better.
Familiar faces return to the back division
Source: Billy Stickland/INPHO
After long absences from the national team, Luke Fitzgerald and Keith Earls were both included in Schmidt's extended squad too. After some exciting performances at 13 for Leinster in the last two months, a 12/13 partnership of Henshaw/Fitzgerald is piquing the interest of many Irish rugby fans.
Earls has only gotten two cameos off the bench for Munster since returning from a knee injury so he is likely to only feature for the Wolfhounds. But if he gets a start in the Champions Cup dead-rubber against Sale this weekend, it will give the utility back a good window to prove his worth to the national coach ahead of next month's 6 Nations.
Ross hangs on
Source: James Crombie/INPHO
A few obituaries were written for Mike Ross last week after he was omitted from Leinster's matchday squad to face Castres in favour of Marty Moore and Tadhg Furlong. However, Joe Schmidt has stuck with the veteran prop and Furlong will have to wait a little longer before dislodging the wily tighthead from the national set-up.
The Leinster scrum has improved a great deal since Moore has returned and it will be interesting to see if Schmidt rewards him with a start against Italy, or if he is returned to the spot on the bench he occupied in last season's championship-winning campaign.
Conan gets his reward
Source: Dan Sheridan/INPHO
If Dominic Ryan's early-season form was enough to warrant an Ireland call-up in November, then it's no surprise that Jack Conan's bruising ball carrying earned him a similar reward. In the absence of the aforementioned O'Brien, Conan has really stepped up for Leinster and at 22, has shown a dominating robustness rarely seen from someone so young.
Whether he features for the Wolfhounds or in the 22 for the Italy game is another matter, but the young back row has already enjoyed a memorable season.
There was one for everyone in the audience
Source: Morgan Treacy/INPHO
Obviously it was an extended squad, but after a bit of a build-up it ended up feeling like Clive Woodward's Lions tour with so many people picked.
With that being the case, there wasn't a whole lot of snubs in Joe Schmidt's squad. You could argue that Luke McGrath's recent form warranted his inclusion ahead of Isaac Boss but having just broken into the Leinster 22, McGrath is still learning what provincial rugby is like at the top level. That being said, it was still surprising that the young scrum-half wasn't considered for Wolfhounds duty at least.
We'll know a lot more about what Schmidt is thinking once the Wolfhounds are released next week. Having been out for so long, it would be very surprising if Schmidt risked O'Brien or Earls during the 6 Nations but that is what is exciting about the next few weekends outside of the championship games – it will be interesting to see how those two go regardless of what team they tog out for.
Are you happy with the squad? Who would you have liked to see included?

Westminster fire station closure plans: 'Everyone should worry'
By Peter Apps
Published: 1:30 PM October 30, 2012 Updated: 1:34 PM October 14, 2020
A leaked list which suggests Westminster fire station is earmarked for closure as part of a cost-cutting exercise has sparked warnings that lives could be put in danger across the borough as a result.
Westminster fire station in Greycoat Place, Pimlico, is one of 17 fire stations earmarked for closure on a list leaked to the BBC.
Paddington station in Harrow Road and Soho station in Shaftesbury Avenue escaped the list, but union leaders warned the closure would jeopardise response times and fire cover across Westminster.
The borough's firefighters last year attended more than 5,200 false alarms - greater than anywhere else in the capital - more than 1,000 fires and more than 1,800 other incidents, making it one of the most testing boroughs in London.
Fire Brigade Union regional secretary Paul Embery said: "Everyone should be concerned, even if it isn't your local fire station that is closing down.
"They can say that the first fire engine will still be on the scene within six minutes but that is misleading, because when you need back-up, you'll need to call in engines from other stations nearby.
"People need to understand that these proposals jeopordise the safety of everyone.
"It's an old clich�, but in a fire seconds count; the difference between dying from smoke inhalation and living comes down to a few seconds.
"You can't shut down so many fire stations, and make so many firefighters redundant, without putting lives at risk."
A London Fire Brigade (LFB) spokesman told the Wood&Vale that Westminster fire station did not have a specific patch, but would respond to calls across the borough depending on need. If it was to close, the nearest extra support would come from Euston, Belsize Park and West Hampstead stations.
London Assembly member Murad Qureshi said: "In such a densely populated borough, which holds the biggest leisure and licensing areas in the country, there is a very unique need and we must have adequate cover.
"Not only should we be concerned for those living in Pimlico and Victoria, but everyone in Westminster should worry."
The leak comes as the Brigade have been asked by Mayor of London Boris Johnson to save �64.8million over the next two years.
An LFB spokesman said: "Like virtually every other public service, the Brigade is facing the need to make savings. There is a target for these savings but the full details will not be known until at least December, when the government announces its grant to the Brigade.
"We expect to be able to maintain our current target response times. No decisions about any possible fire station closures have yet been taken. Before they are, there will be a full public consultation."

When Juliet Doyle finds a gun in her daughter's bedroom, she turns to old friend DCI Alan Banks for advice. But Banks is on a much-needed holiday, and it's left to DI Annie Cabbot to deal with the removal of the firearm. No one can foresee the operation's disastrous consequences, or that the Doyles will not be the only family affected. Banks's daughter Tracy has fallen for the wrong boy. Her flatmate's boyfriend is attractive, ambitious, and surrounded by an intoxicating air of mystery. He's also very dangerous. When Tracy warns him the police might be on his tail, he persuades her to go on the run with him, and flattered by his attention, she agrees. Before she knows it, a deadly chase across the country is set in motion. And on his return, unsuspecting of Tracy's precarious situation, Banks is plunged into his most terrifying, personal case yet.

Did you know India is the home to the oldest University in the World?
Nalanda University, in Northern India, was a world-leading centre for education long before Oxford, Cambridge, Harvard and other such eminent Universities. Nalanda University was the home to over 10,000 students from all over Asia for hundreds of years before being destroyed by invaders in 1193.
In modern-day India, with its growing economy and effluent middle-classes, there is a growing demand for world-class education within India. This may sounds like a pipe-dream to many, given that currently no Indian University makes it to the Top 200 World University list by the Times Higher Education World University Ranking.[1]
However, Nobel prize winning economist, Prof. Amartya Sen, along with a group of statesmen and scholars are leading the way to reviving Nalanda as an international centre for education by establishing a new world-class residential university with top students and researchers from around the world.
Source: http://nalandauniversity.files.wordpress.com/2011/03/nalanda_university.jpg
Nalanda University itself was established by an Act of the Indian Parliament in November 2010 and since then has been running various lectures and workshops as well as undertaking a building programme for the students' residence and University buildings. The Nalanda University, which aims to open its doors to students in 2014, will focus on the humanities, economics and management, Asian integration, sustainable development and oriental languages.
While there are still many things to do to get the University up and running, and many critics have questioned the location in Bihar as questionable due to the lack of local infrastructure and other amenities, the "Spirit of Nalanda" seems to be prevailing, with the State and National government committed to improving infrastructure as well we building an international airport nearby.
Prof. Amartya Sen says "Nalanda will be built up slowly, faculty by faculty rather than having everything at once."
The concept of Nalanda is grand and may take years to achieve, but the spirit of education cannot be contained. Step-by-step development is certainly a principle which CAREducation Trust understands. Over the last decade CAREducation had worked at the grassroots to building up over a dozen educational projects in India and Africa from building school buildings to sponsoring children at schools.
At times there have been many difficulties and many obstacles to overcome but working step-by-step at the grassroots level, CAREducation is determined to bring education to the most vulnerable and needy. For it is through education that imagination can be fired up and provide the tools to the improvised to lift themselves out of poverty and help bring about a rise in living standards.

Q: If neutrons aren't affected by electromagnetic force, what causes it to bounce off matter? Say a neutron is heading for a mountain, what would cause it to bounce off said amalgamation of matter? Electromagnetism is ruled out, gravity is too weak, (if I'm not mistaken) nuclear strong force is a glue, not a repulsion, and [although I admittedly don't understand this force at all] from what lve read,  electro weak force should not play a part.. I'm assuming I just have a misunderstanding of electro weak force so it would be greatly appreciated if you could describe how the weak force causes the neutrons to bounce off matter or an explanation of what is really at work here. Thanks in advance.

A: Actually, neutrons are affected by electromagnetic forces. Specifically, by the
"magnetic" part- they are electrically neutral, but have a significant magnetic dipole moment. So they are scattered by the magnetic fields inside a material and especially from nuclei. This is used as a tool to understand materials in neutron scattering experiments (1).
That said, it is also possible for neutrons to scatter off nuclei due to the (residual) strong force. It is not obvious at first which of these processes is going to dominate, since the nuclear force is inherently much stronger than magnetic scattering but only sets in at very short length scales. It turns out  that at relatively low energies, both are comparable sources of scattering from most atoms (2), so at least if you are imagining a relatively slow beam of neutrons it will be scattered both by residual strong interactions and magnetic interactions.

A: Remember that Neutron is not a fundamental particle but rather made of gluons and quarks. This means that it won't interact with other (fundamental) particles elastically. This is especially more pronounced in low energies or large scales. In other words, as it is approaching charged (anti)leptons (electron, muon, tau) and gauge bosons (W and Z) on one hand or uncharged leptons (neutrinos) and photons on the other hand, it will be seen by the incident fundamental particle as a packet of constituent particles. Amongst the charged incident particles, you still have EM interaction while amongst the uncharged incident particles, you will have Weak interaction. The other scenario would be when you are colliding neutrons with other non-fundamental particles namely (hadrons and mesons) in which case you will have strong interactions between constituents particles among the colliding parties. So, in summary, you will have only inelastic collisions between neutrons and any other particle (fundamental or not) and interactions amongst them doesn't have to be always EM as mentioned above.

A: Strong interaction with other atomic nuclei, especially 'heavy' ones like lead, uranium.
If energy and momentum are conserved 'elastic' scattering.
If they disrupt nuclear structure - remember nucleus is quantized and has energy levels - energy and momentum transfer occurs, therefore 'inelastic' scattering.
The study and control of Nuclear Fission was an early triumph - The Fermi Project - U238 was an unstable nucleus, split by energetic neutrons, control was done by raising or lowering graphite (C12) rods, which reduced neutron energy to below the fissile threshold.

'Death cafes': coming together to discuss a taboo topic
By Caroline Egan. Jul 30, 2019
MidCoast Council is hosting a series of 'death cafes' in the lead up to 'Dying to know' day on 8 August, giving the community the opportunity to ask questions and discuss a topic that is still often considered taboo.
When three councils amalgamated in 2016 to form MidCoast Council, one of the biggest issues for them was uncertainty about where to go to find information. There were a particularly large number of questions about cemeteries, memorials, and burials.
"People were coming to us before someone had passed away, and asking us what they should do," Kimm Christie, team leader cemeteries and memorials, MidCoast Council, told HelloCare.
With a shift away from traditional rituals around death, there was more interest in the area that ever before.
With the council fielding questions daily, the council decided to get together with businesses in the area to share information with the public and to give the community an opportunity to ask questions in an open forum.
Normalising conversation about death and loss
The council decided to host a series of death cafes around the region to provide an opportunity to talk and ask questions, but also to acknowledge 'Dying to know day', which is held in August each year and as a day to encourage conversations about death, dying and bereavement.
The death cafes are also intended to break down the barriers around talking about death, which is still often considered a taboo topic in our society.
Grief counsellors, funeral directors, palliative care providers, celebrants and others are available to provide their perspectives, but there's also an opportunity to gather practical information about death and loss, such as end-of-life care, who to contact when someone passes away, coping with loss, or how to go about organising a memorial for a loved one in a favourite place such as a park or reserve.
New rituals
With rituals around death and grieving changing, Ms Christie said the death cafes are an excellent opportunity to let the community know what is available, what's possible, and what's not.
The sessions also provide guidance for MidCoast Council.
"We have the largest aging population in the state," she said, "so we need to have those conversations so we can plan for the community."
MidCoast Council held a successful series of death cafes for dying to know day last year, and the response was so positive, they are now holding sessions quarterly around the region.
Death cafes are held on council premises, such as in libraries or art galleries, and tea, coffee and homemade cakes are served to encourage a relaxed atmosphere that allows people to open up.
"It's not as structured as a meeting would be if it was held in a council building," Ms Christie said.
Opening up the conversation
Generally, a death cafe session begins with guest speakers, and then the session is opened up to a panel for questions. Anyone is welcome to ask questions.
"It's about opening up the conversation," Ms Christie said.
Men's groups have been particularly supportive of the initiative, Ms Christie said. "They open up and ask so many questions – I was blown away."
Practical information can help families plan
The council is in part encouraging families to talk about death so that every person's wishes are clear to loved ones. She said council can sometimes be sandwiched in the middle of two disputing families over matters such as whether or not a family member will be buried or cremated.
"We're trying to get everybody to have that conversation so everybody knows (the person's wishes)," she said.
All are encouraged to attend. "We've had young and old, it's a mixed bag – which is good!" Ms Christie said.
Death cafes are free to attend and do not require a booking. MidCoast Council will hold death cafes at:
Tea Gardens Library, Monday 5 August, 10.30am – 12pm
Taree, Manning Regional Art Gallery, Tuesday 6 August, 10.30am – 12pm
Gloucester, Arts and Cultural Gallery, Thursday 8 August, 10.30am – 12pm
Stroud Library, Monday 12 August, 10.30am – 12pm
