New Paterno film intense, but comes too soon
Graphic by Jared Shapiro
Sam Rosenblatt, Opinions Editor
HBO debuted their television movie "Paterno" on April 7. The film depicts Penn State football coach Joe Paterno's days in the wake of the child sex abuse scandal that tarnished the revered image of both the school and Paterno himself.
The movie also highlights the stories of Sara Ganim, a reporter for Harrisburg's Patriot-News who helped break the scandal, as well as the Paterno family and former Penn State President Graham Spanier.
"Paterno" is certainly powerful and provides an interesting picture of the inside story of those involved in the aftermath of the scandal. However, I fundamentally disagree with the choice to produce such a film just seven years after this trauma. I understand that audiences — myself included — feed on historical dramas that allow us to relive the triumphs and tragedies of past figures, but I think "Paterno" may do more to reopen old wounds than add a new perspective on the Jerry Sandusky sex abuse scandal.
Of course, there is no unwritten rule of how long one should wait to produce such a film, but it's undeniable that films about tragic stories must navigate a fine line between being appropriate and offensive. "Paterno" may not be as controversial as "United 93" (2006), and "Patriot's Day" (2016), which tell brave stories related to the September 11th attacks and Boston Marathon bombings, respectively, but were released uncomfortably soon after the events. Still, I wish such a project was delayed at least a few more years when the disgust of the Sandusky case and Paterno's fall from grace were not so fresh in our minds.
Not only was the film released too soon, but before HBO took over production, ICM Films had signed Al Pacino in September 2012 to play Paterno in what became this HBO special. Less than a year after the events of the film transpired, and just eight months after Paterno passed away, opportunists were already attempting to seize the story line.
The film also seemed to lack a clear direction — at times it was reminiscent of "Spotlight" (2015) during Ganim's quest for the truth about Penn State's failure to address the situation, and at other times connecting the audience more to the football coach and his family as in "We Are Marshall" (2006). This back-and-forth dynamic felt awkward given the context of the movie.
It's also worth noting that this film is a docudrama, not a documentary. While "Paterno" does present a mostly accurate story of an aging "JoePa," some flashbacks in the film were far too dramatic. Many appeared through the lens of an MRI machine as Paterno visits the hospital for his deteriorating health.
The most absurd moment, however, came after Paterno's wife recalls that they had let Sandusky swim in the pool with their children when they were young. This triggers a dream sequence in which Paterno sees a swimming pool full of children (including his own), jumps in, and struggles as he sinks to the bottom while Sandusky interacts with his children above the surface.
Despite these complaints, I thought "Paterno" was intense and hard to turn away from. The film gave proper tribute to JoePa's work of building Penn State's reputation, not only for top-tier football but also for top-tier academics. It also demonstrated how his failing memory and moral failure contributed to scandal. Moreover, "Paterno" shed an important light on victim-blaming and the reluctance to share one's story, especially in the today's context of the #MeToo movement.
Nevertheless, I wish the film industry had held off from jumping to create this biopic. For those impacted by the scandal, including its victims, the Penn State community, and fans of college football, wounds must heal before they are reopened. This dramatization still feels as if it happened yesterday, and in this case I think it's important to move forward before we look back.

April looks to deliver another record-breaking snowstorm
By Mara Klecker Star Tribune
April 10, 2019 — 6:56am
Video (01:05) : Morning Star Tribune Local Twin Cities (Minneapolis/St. Paul) Weather Video Forecast
Like many wildly optimistic Minnesotans, Jordan Thompson of Chaska removed the snow shovel from his car a couple of weeks ago.
But after seeing the latest forecast for heavy snow in the Twin Cities, the 25-year-old pizza delivery driver begrudgingly threw the shovel right back into the trunk. "I had taken it out as a wishful thought that spring was here," he said.
The spring storm expected to sweep across much of the Midwest may deliver to Minnesota a second consecutive year of record-breaking April snow.
The forecast on Tuesday was so grim that major airlines, including Delta and United Airlines, already issued weather waivers for flights on Wednesday and Thursday out of Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport as well as several other Midwestern airports.
And in a twist of seasonal weather irony, statewide tornado drills planned for Thursday in Minnesota and Wisconsin were canceled due to the anticipated storm.
The National Weather Service issued a blizzard warning for west-central Minnesota, where wind gusts of up to 50 mph could whip around more than a foot of snow.
Jerry Holt, Star Tribune file
If you remember last year, when Alfonso Velez plowed around cars in the 2100 block of Portland Avenue S. in Minneapolis, you might want to put that shovel back into your car ASAP.
A winter storm watch was in effect for the rest of the state and parts of Wisconsin.
A mix of snow, rain and sleet was expected to start falling Wednesday before turning to all snow Wednesday night. The storm was expected to move out of the state by early Friday.
By then the metro area could receive 3 to 8 inches of snow, though the amount that accumulates could vary.
Parts of western Minnesota could see up to 2 feet of snow.
Caleb Grunzke, a meteorologist at the National Weather Service office in Chanhassen, said that an April storm delivering so much snow at once is a rarity.
However, the 15.8 inches of snow that fell in the Twin Cities last April is still fresh in residents' minds, leaving many to ask, "Really? Again?"
Two of the top 10 April snowstorms in the Twin Cities in the last 128 years came in 2018. At the beginning of the month last year, the metro area received 9 inches of snow.
That was followed only a couple weeks later by a massive storm that hammered the state and disrupted countless plans for a mid-April Saturday.
"I mean, it is Minnesota," Grunzke said. "Spring is a transition period, and weather can be very active. But we know people will complain about it."
The additional precipitation may mean that some areas of the state will return to moderate flooding stage, he said. "It won't be as bad as it was a few weeks ago," he said. "But river flooding isn't over just yet."
Debra Points of Amery, Wis., has been watching the forecasts closely. She said she's probably being "very selfish" in saying that she's excited about another snowstorm — after all, she doesn't need to drive in it and her husband and sons are the ones who will have to plow it.
"They are hoping the forecast is wrong," she said.
Points sees the coming snow as "one last hurrah, one last blanketing over of clean white that covers the grit and grime of winter's salt, sand and garbage." She plans to watch the snow from her picture window, hot beverage in hand.
"April snows aren't a routine happening, and when they do happen, it is magic," she said.
After spending April nights last year delivering pizzas in blowing snow, Thompson is prepared for a repeat.
Still, he's conflicted: "I want it to be in the 60s like it was [Monday] … I think we are all ready for winter to be over."
Twin Cities forecast
Today: Rain, sleet and snow. Winds increase.
Thursday: Heavy snow falls fast; 3 to 8 inches.
Grumble if you want, but Grunzke recommended restocking the winter weather kit in your vehicle and continuing to watch the forecast, which may change as the storm gets closer to Minnesota.
The good news, Grunzke said, is that the snow won't stick around for long.
"And we are getting closer to May," he said. "Winter is almost always over by the start of May." He paused. "But who knows what could happen over the next few weeks?"

Successful Microsoft event hosted at Adastral Park
(Picture left to right , Ian Buxton, IP Network, Nicky Daniels, Head Innovation Martlesham, Kevin Woollard, Director, Research Engagement and Operations BT, Mark Thomas, CEO of Coderus Ltd)
On Thursday 30th March, Coderus Limited, and Innovation Martlesham co-hosted a successful Microsoft Build event at Adastral Park, which was also sponsored by BT and the IP Network. This is the first in a series of three global technology events planned for 2016. The Microsoft Build event, that attracted interest from local television BBC Look East, was the first to be held at Adastral Park and one of only two events taking place in the UK.
On the day, over 60 visitors attended, including representatives from major Information and Communications Technology (ICT) and Digital companies across the East of England, along with software developers and those with a keen interest in Microsoft technology.
Delegates enjoyed networking sessions and product demos before watching a live stream broadcast of the Microsoft Build keynote speeches, direct from San Francisco, California to BT's John Bray Lecture Theatre at Adastral Park, home of BT's global and development headquarters and Innovation Martlesham.
Microsoft Build is an annual developer conference – a platform for Microsoft to showcase their latest product innovations to the world. Key technology announcements made at the 2016 event included the updates intended for Cortana, Microsoft's best example of AI technology; the developer addition of the augmented reality software, HoloLens; and the new improved Skype that allows Cortana to engage with third party bots to deliver relevant intelligence based on the most simplistic of commands.
Following the live stream of the keynote speeches, Jim Milne, Business Development for Innovation Martlesham, hosted a lively panel discussion with the audience that discussed implications and opportunities of what Microsoft had just announced. The specially selected group of experts consisted of Mark Thomas (CEO of Coderus Limited), Vickie Allen (Founder, DevelopHER), Alan Jones (CEO of Nerostorm and IM Technology Mentor) and Dr Nicholas Caldwell (Lecturer UCS)
Mark Thomas, CEO of Coderus Limited said "I would like to thank everyone who attended the Microsoft Build event, as well as our co-host and sponsors who all helped to make it possible. The great attendance and feedback shows a genuine enthusiasm and appetite in the East of England to stay connected to the latest trends in software development and technology.."
Nicky Daniels, Head of Innovation Martlesham said "These events are part of the current IM strategy that delivers benefits to both companies in the IM cluster, as well as other ICT and Digital companies in the region. This was an excellent opportunity to meet such a diverse group of companies".
This successful Microsoft Build event will be followed by two similar technology events in 2016. Coderus and Innovation Martlesham will be co-hosting the Google I/O event, which returns to Adastral Park for a second year on 18th May 2016, followed by the Apple WWDC event in June 2016 (date to be confirmed).

Q: Ember data - get first of collection Okay, it's shocking how poorly documented this is and that I cannot find an answer quickly.
How to I get the first object of a collection in ember?
This is the collection:
this.store.query('review', { order_id: params.id })

I want the first record and only the first record (not as a collection) to use in my template.
None of these work:
// First attempt
this.store.query('review', { order_id: params.id })[0];
// Second attempt
this.store.query('review', { order_id: params.id }).get('firstObject');

// Third attempt
var r;
this.store.query('review', { order_id: params.id }).then(function(results) {
  r = results.get('firstObject');
});

A: If say you have a router, and  you define your model function as such:
model: function(){
  return this.store.query('review', {order_id: params.id}).then(function(results) {
    return results.get('firstObject');
  });
}

Then in your template:
{{model}}

Does it not work?

Want to complete your VCE in exciting locations?
Secondary school students who are passionate about a career in sports can now study in clubrooms-turned-classrooms at organisations such as the MCG, soccer stadiums or surf lifesaving clubs.
Sports Education and Development Australia, in partnership with Victoria University, offer a fully accredited and unique alternative to VCE for students aged 16 to 19 aiming at careers in sports administration, sport marketing, facility management, coaching, or sport media.
On completion of the three-year full-time course, graduates receive a Diploma of Sport Development from Victoria University, with additional qualifications in first-aid, coaching, event management, marketing, and refereeing. They also have direct pathways to VU's higher education courses such as sport physiology, exercise rehabilitation or recreation management.
All programs are based around a particular sport - football, rugby, cricket, soccer, yachting, swimming or aquatics.
Jo van Son, Head of VU's School of Sport and Science, said the community-based program offers a different way of engaging students in education.
"In the same way as many secondary schools, students wear a uniform and use laptops, but they receive invaluable work experience with sporting organisations during the program", she said.
About 40 per cent of the program is theory, and 60 per cent, applied learning. Students enrolled in the Aquatic Sport Development Program, for example, spend a few hours in formal classes at a lifesaving club, then undertake practical training at sports venues the rest of the day.
Students are selected by application and interview and acceptance is not dependent on sporting ability. Enrolments are now being taken.

A 52-year-old man in the southern province of Binh Phuoc has died of H5N1 avian flu, the first case in Vietnam in 9 months, Than Nien News reported today.
The man was hospitalized at Bu Dang District's General Hospital with a fever, cough, and difficulty breathing on Jan 11, the country's health ministry reported. As his situation deteriorated, he was transferred to the Hospital for Tropical Diseases in Ho Chi Minh City on Jan 18 and died the same day. His samples later tested positive for H5N1.
Officials said the man's family had killed and eaten duck recently and that chickens in a nearby home had recently died suddenly. His case, if confirmed by the World Health Organization, would bring the country's official H5N1 total to 126 cases and 63 deaths since the disease was first detected there in 2003.
Canadian researchers who studied influenza vaccine effectiveness (VE) for the 2011-12 season found that the vaccine was much more effective against circulating flu strains closely matched to those in the vaccine than against those not so well matched, according to a recent report in the Journal of Infectious Diseases.
Influenza experts try to predict each year which flu strains will be most common during the winter flu seasons and endeavor to pick the vaccine strains accordingly. But the evidence for the importance of a close match between vaccine and circulating strains has not been entirely consistent.
A team from across Canada conducted the test-negative case-control study, which involves assessing vaccination coverage and infection prevalence in patients who seek treatment for a flu-like illness and are tested for the virus. Danuta Skowronski, MD, of the British Columbia Centre for Disease Control and Prevention served as lead author.
The report notes that the trivalent inactivated vaccine (TIV) used in the 2011-12 season targeted the same three flu strains as the 2010-11 vaccine. The authors used hemagglutination inhibition and sequencing of parts of the hemagglutinin gene to characterize the circulating flu strains. The study included 1,507 patients.
Overall VE against influenza B was 51% (95% CI, 26%-67%), but it differed according to the B lineage. The vaccine was 71% effective (95% CI, 40%-86%) against the Victoria lineage, which was contained in the vaccine, but only 27% effective (95% CI, 21%-56%) against the Yamagata lineage, which was not in the vaccine.
The team also found that VE was similar among recipients of either the 2010-11 or 2011-12 vaccine alone but was higher in those who were vaccinated in both seasons.
Ducks on a farm in the South Korean city of Jeoneup in the southwestern province of Jeollabuk-do are suspected of being infected with the highly pathogenic H5N8 strain of avian influenza, as a recent outbreak spreads, according to a story from Arirang News today. This would represent the fifth farm infected recently and the first one outside of Gochang and Buan counties in the province.
In Gochang county, a poultry farm identified 10 cases, including 3 deaths, of H5N8 in ducks and has destroyed 21,180 susceptible birds, according to a World Organization for Animal Health (OIE) notice late last week. An epidemiologic survey is being implemented. Control measures include quarantine and disinfection of the infected premises.
The virus is thought to be spread by wild migratory birds from Russia that typically visit South Korea from October through March. An article yesterday in the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) Asia says H5N8 was found in the remains of 100 dead migratory birds in a reservoir near the Gochang farm. The wild ducks are Baikal teals.
The Korean Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs announced today that all ducks within a 3-kilometer radius of infected farms are to be destroyed, a far larger area than had been declared earlier, says the Arirang story; chickens are excluded from the order.

One Language Is Lost Every Two Weeks
by Jeff February 9, 2015, 10:00 am 1.7k Views
There is a mass extinction looming: Of the 6,000 languages humans speak, 3,000 will be gone by the year 2100. And almost no one knows — or seems to care.
If I told you there's an ecosystem that's going to lose half of its species in the next 100 years, you'd probably figure Greenpeace and the rest would be all over it like ugly on an ape. There is such a mass extinction looming, but it is not an environmental matter. Instead, it is a linguistic one. Of the 6,000 languages humans speak, 3,000 will be gone by the year 2100. We are losing languages at the rate of one every two weeks. And almost no one knows it's happening, and fewer care enough to act.
PBS just showed a David Grubin documentary that examines this problem. Poet Bob Holman looks at the many dying aboriginal languages of Australia, the revival of Welsh and the efforts to save Hawaiian in a film called "Language Matters."
As a writer, I have been in love with words my entire life. Words are how we think and how we communicate with each other. Language is not uniquely human; I accept the idea that some simian and cetacean species have language as well. However, language is something that we use to define who we are. How French can a Frenchman be without the language of Dumas, Sartre and de Gaulle?
Some of you might remember the schoolyard rhyme, "Latin is a language, as dead as it can be. First, it killed the Romans, and now, it's killing me." We no longer teach Latin and Greek as required courses (I had to learn mine on my own and did a fairly inadequate job), and it's now possible to graduate from an American university without knowing a language other than English. Indeed, it would be economically better if we all spoke just one language. It would be vastly more efficient. Globalization is pushing some languages to extinction.
Of course, almost no one reading this will have heard of Amurdak, which is spoken by just one man, an old fellow named Charlie whom Holman interviewed for the film. When Charlie is gone, so is Amurdak. Well, so what? There were 300 different aboriginal languages when Captain Cook arrived, and that's down to about 50 now. And we in New York and Los Angeles, London and Paris are no worse off for it. Languages die out all the time. Even when Caesar was speaking his classical Latin, Etruscan was no more.
But different languages offer a different view of what it is to be human. The Inuit of the far north have numerous words for "snow." In Arabic, there are 18 different words for "camel." That is used, often, as proof of how hard Arabic is. Then again, how many words does English have for "car?" (Auto, automobile, car, Ford, Chevy, Mercedes, Rolls Royce, Mustang, Jeep, etc.). From that, you can easily see that snow is more important in one culture than it is in a car obsessed one.
Then, there are just the sounds of words themselves. Take the word "butterfly." In English, it is a rather lovely sound. The Russian "babochka" is also fairly melodious as is the French "papillon." German has "schmetterling," which lacks a certain poetry, even to German speakers. And yet, where would we be without German words for which English has no good counterpart like schadenfreude or weltschmerz?
Languages die when the children no longer learn them. Kids are natural language learners, and it's easy for them to pick up half a dozen in the right environment. But look at the experience of language in America. The tired, the poor, huddled masses got off the boat, and they didn't speak English. The pressure to assimilate for financial and social reasons meant the second generation was bilingual, but the grandkids speak only English.
In my family, my grandfather spoke Norwegian, not learning English until he was in school at the age of 7. My father is the youngest of seven, and my older uncles and aunts knew both languages, but leaned toward English. By the time my dad arrived on the scene, Norwegian was hardly spoken at all. My Spanish (tolerable) is much better than my Norwegian (laughable) as a result.
Norwegian, with 5 million or so speakers, is not endangered, but that is because kids in Norway still learn it as their first language and because the language is not persecuted as many minority tongues have been. The Welsh, as Holman shows, have been very successful at reviving their ancient Celtic tongue — it has flourished where Irish has sort of held on, Scottish Gaelic is wobbling, and Cornish and Manx are considered dead Celtic languages. The native speakers of Hawaiian may have saved their language with Hawaiian-only schools, but I think it's too early to tell.
Biodiversity is considered a good thing because our physical lives may depend on it. I submit that linguistic diversity is also a good thing because our identities as distinct human beings depend on it. Right now, there are 6,000 ways to be human. In a century, there may be only 3,000. I'd say that reduces freedom for all of us because we have fewer options.
Mahalo, tusen takk and thanks.

Teresa Plowright
Looking for an affordable place to stay at Disney World? Consider Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground, which offers a way to save on a Disney World vacation, especially if you visit during Disney World's off-season. This outdoorsy resort is a great place for lovers of nature and wildlife, as you'll likely spy deer, ducks, armadillos, and rabbits while visiting.
The lakeside resort offers cowboy Western-style themes, plenty of activities, and accommodations in cabins or a campground. Guests get to enjoy all the perks of staying at any Disney World Resort, including access to the free Magical Express airport shuttle, free Disney transportation to theme parks, Extra Magic Hours, and the ability to plan your visit up to 60 days in advance of your stay using the My Disney Experience app and MagicBands.
Keep in mind that Disney World is roughly the size of San Francisco and you can spend a lot of time getting from your resort to the various theme parks if you stay too far from the action. Fort Wilderness has a good location, especially for visits to the Magic Kingdom theme park; a 10-minute ferry goes directly to and from the Magic Kingdom, making for a convenient way to beat the crowds after the nightly fireworks at Cinderella's Castle. The other theme parks can be reached by using the free Disney bus system available at all Disney World resorts.
Fort Wilderness is a giant property spanning 750 acres and features a popular dinner show and fun activities such as swimming, wagon rides, archery, horseback riding, and night-time outdoor movies and campfire sing-a-longs. There are also several playgrounds at the resort, fishing cruises out on the lake, and an arcade with video and arcade games.
There are several pools, including Meadow Swimmin' Pool with its corkscrew water slide and hot tub; a fort-themed kiddie water play area with tot-friendly slides; and the more tranquil Wilderness Swimmin' Pool, an all-ages quiet pool with a hot tub.
Cabins at Fort Wilderness are basic but comfortable, featuring two bedrooms and sleeping six people on one queen bed, one bunk bed and one double pullout sofa. There is a sitting/dining area with a TV, plus a full bathroom, kitchen, and outdoor grill and patio.
Like to camp? Campsites are spread out on many different loops, some with full-service RV hook-ups, some only for tents. And there's a bonus for pet lovers: Fort Wilderness is unique in all of Disney World in that your pet can stay with you at many camping sites. Comfort stations are air-conditioned, spotless, and have private showers, laundry, phones, and ice machines. Two Trading Post general stores sell groceries at reasonable prices.
Don't have a car? Disney offers a service where you can pre-order groceries and have them delivered to your cabin or campsite. Other amenities include free w-fi, laundry rooms, ATMs,
Hoop-dee-Doo Revue at Pioneer Hall, an all-you-can-eat barbeque plus Wild West dinner show
free evening campfires with singalong, s'mores roast, Disney movie, and visits from Chip 'n' Dale
outdoor pool and kiddie pool
bike rentals, canoes, pedal boats, kayaks, fishing gear
horseback riding and pony rides
basketball and volleyball courts
golf cart rentals (a great idea to explore the resort)
Guests will also find multiple restaurants, including Mickey's Backyard BBQ all-you-can-eat buffet, with a country-style band.
Keep in mind:
The campground offers an excellent economical way to stay on-property and enjoy all the perks of a Disney World resort.

El Leonardo AW139 (anteriormente denominado AgustaWestland AW139) es un helicóptero bimotor de tamaño medio, fabricado por el constructor aeronáutico italo-británico Leonardo (anteriormente AgustaWestland, que se fusionó con Finmeccanica, cambiándose el nombre a Leonardo a partir de 2017). El diseño y desarrollo original fue llevado a cabo conjuntamente por Agusta y Bell Helicopters, siendo comercializado inicialmente como Agusta-Bell AB139. Cuando Bell abandonó el proyecto, este pasó a llamarse AW139.

Desarrollo

Aprovechando la cita del Salón Aeronáutico de Farnborough, el fabricante italiano Agusta y el norteamericano Bell Helicopter Textron anunciaron, el 8 de septiembre de 1998, la creación de una empresa conjunta para el desarrollo de dos productos: el Bell/Agusta BA609, un convertiplano cuyo programa había sido lanzado conjuntamente por Bell y Boeing, y el Agusta Bell AB139, que reemplazaba a un proyecto de Agusta, una versión utilitaria basada en el Agusta A129 Mangusta.

El acuerdo definitivo se firmó el 6 de noviembre de 1998, convirtiéndose Bell en el accionista mayoritario de la empresa. Pero Bell sólo tenía una inversión del 25% en el programa de desarrollo del nuevo AB139, que hacía quedarse en exclusiva con la fabricación del aparato para el mercado estadounidense.

Agusta, con el 75% de inversión en el programa AB139, fue el responsable del desarrollo del helicóptero, de su certificación y de la fabricación para el resto del mundo. En su fabricación colaboraron otras empresas, como GKN Westland, Honeywell, Kawasaki, Liebherr, Pratt & Whitney Canada y PZL-Swidnik.

Hay dos variantes básicas del AW 139. La primera, actual en desuso, de nariz corta. Esta variante, incluye el sistema G-CHCB. Posteriormente, se creó la variante de nariz larga. La principal función es la de búsqueda y rescate (SAR).

Sucesiones en la compañía
Cuando la compañía Bell Helicopters decidió abandonar el proyecto, la compañía Agusta quedó como el propietario de este helicóptero. Posteriormente, se ha dado una serie de sucesiones empresariales, las cuales se describen a continuación:
 La compañía pasó a denominarse AgustaWestland S.p.A en junio de 2014.
 La compañía pasó a llamarse Finmeccanica S.p.A. en enero de 2016.
 La compañía actual pasó a denominarse Leonardo S.p.A a partir de julio de 2016.

Entrada en servicio

La certificación italiana se otorgó en junio de 2003 y la certificación estadounidense en diciembre de 2004.

Problemas con el rotor de cola

Tras su entrada en servicio, diversos colectivos profesionales sacaron a la luz que el AgustaWestland AW139 tenía fallos en su diseño. La Agencia Europea de Seguridad Aérea (EASA) emitió en el año 2008 un informe para que todos los usuarios revisasen sus helicópteros AgustaWestland AW139. Este informe indicaba que se detectaron problemas en el rotor de cola de algunos modelos, que en el caso de que no se detectase y se solucionase el incidente, podría llevar al colapso estructural de la instalación del rotor de cola, lo que implica la pérdida de control del helicóptero.

El 25 de agosto de 2009, ocurrió el incidente de mayor gravedad desde la emisión del informe, en un helicóptero AW139 perteneciente a la compañía Gulf Helicopters, con matrícula A7-GHC, al que se le desprendió el rotor de cola cuando se disponía a despegar del Aeropuerto Internacional de Doha (Catar). Diversos medios especializados se hicieron eco de este incidente, al cumplirse el problema que la EASA había vaticinado.

Tras el incidente, el 4 de septiembre de 2009, la Agencia Europea de Seguridad Aérea emitió un nuevo informe en el que obligaba a realizar una inspección minuciosa al rotor de cola de todos los AW139 en las siguientes 25 horas de vuelo o 30 días, y posteriormente repetir dicha inspección cada 50 horas de vuelo. En siete aparatos, que la EASA identificó mediante su número de fabricante (31006, 31020, 31022, 31042, 31136, 31157 y 31248) que anteriormente tuvieron incidentes con el rotor de cola, la inspección inicial tuvo que realizarse en las siguientes 5 horas de vuelo.

El 25 de agosto de 2011, toda la flota mundial de AW139 se vio afectada nuevamente, por dos accidentes consecutivos que tuvieron lugar los días 17 y 19 de ese mes en China y Brasil. La EASA emitió un nuevo informe con el fin de realizar una inspección minuciosa de las palas del rotor de cola que hubiesen superado las 600 horas de vuelo o 1500 ciclos desde su primera puesta en funcionamiento. También obligaba a la sustitución de las mismas por unas con menor uso en menos de 5 horas de vuelo o 30 días. Esto provocó la parada forzosa de todas las aeronaves para realizar dicha inspección y sustitución de las palas.

Especificaciones (AW139)

 Un rotor articulado de cinco palas  con un rotor de cola inclinado de cuatro palas proporciona una gran distancia al suelo del rotor de cola, el tren de aterrizaje del triciclo de rueda de morro de alta resistencia es retráctil para una mayor velocidad. Los sistemas y asientos completos a prueba de choques son estándar, mientras que un sistema de protección contra el hielo es opcional. El repostaje de alta velocidad y bajo nivel de ruido es posible desde cualquier lado.
 Posee dos puertas corredizas tipo "plug-in", las cuales permiten un fácil acceso a la cabina. El gran compartimento de equipaje (3,4 m³) es accesible desde la cabina y desde el exterior a través de grandes puertas a ambos lados.

 El AW139 tiene una cabina de vidrio modular / integrada con el sistema Honeywell Primus Epic. El sistema Primus Epic se ofrece en cuatro configuraciones: VFR básico (reglas de vuelo visual), IFR (reglas de vuelo por instrumentos) sistema de control de vuelo automático de tres ejes (AFCS), AFCS digital de cuatro ejes IFR y una versión de búsqueda y rescate.

 Las versiones IFR tienen tres o cuatro pantallas de cristal líquido de matriz activa Honeywell DU-1080 de 8 x 10 pulgadas. La pantalla plana Honeywell DU-1080 AMLCD proporciona capacidades avanzadas de generación de gráficos y dos dispositivos de control de cursor (CCD) proporcionan un control adicional.

 La arquitectura del sistema se basa en dos unidades de aviónica modulares (MAU) que albergan el procesamiento de la mayoría de las funciones dentro del sistema. Al integrar las funciones en una MAU, se puede compartir un potente procesamiento informático para realizar múltiples tareas que anteriormente requerían plataformas informáticas individuales.

 El sistema cuenta con una potente función de computadora de mantenimiento central que proporcionará a los operadores un alto nivel de solución de problemas y soporte de mantenimiento del sistema. El personal de mantenimiento puede utilizar las pantallas de la cabina o una computadora portátil para realizar el aparejo de la aeronave, la calibración del sensor y el diagnóstico de los sistemas de aviónica.

La punta de las palas del helicóptero están dotadas de cierto ángulo, denominado flecha. Tiene como objetivo reducir la velocidad efectiva de la pala en avance y garantizar una separación controlada del torbellino en la punta de la pala. Aparte, presenta la tecnología de pala Rotor BERP. Esta tecnología proporciona al helicóptero una prolongación del borde de ataque para asegurar la estabilidad dinámica.

Q: What does 'stable-to-firm' mean? What does "stable to firm" mean in this sentence?

*Asia methanol prices stable-to-firm on further supply uncertainties. The import prices of methanol in the Asian market were assessed as stable-to-firm during the week ended 8 August, reflecting higher buy-sell indications amid further uncertainties in the supply situation.*

A: Have you looked up stable and firm in a dictionary?
The author uses stable-to-firm to indicate a description of the expected stability of prices (meaning how much they are expected to change).
Stable I'd read as "changing very little", firm as "not changing".
So, stable-to-firm would be somewhere in between those.
(Of course, if you read it as "horse-house to company", I understand it's confusing...)


If the name of this bar doesn't put a little pep in your step then your first bite certainly will. Sun-ripened raspberries, creamy cashews and crunchy chia seeds - fresh and fruity flavors with a bit of a tang.
Contains 11g of fat per bar. Contains cashews, almonds, peanuts and soy. Made in facility that processes peanuts, tree nuts, soy and sesame seeds. OU.
These tart and sweet berries will not ripen more after being picked so we make sure they are at prime plumpness before the harvest occurs!


I'm excited to announce that the "Publish" buttons are finally being pressed for Hero of the Republic! Already the Amazon.com link is live, as well as the UK version, and the book has also been submitted to Barnes&Noble's Nook and to Smashwords as well. (Publishing through Smashwords delivers the book to iBooks, Overdrive, Kobo, and many other portals, once the ebook files are quality-checked by the folks at Smashwords. It shouldn't be long!) The final step will be formatting the print version for Createspace, which will happen this weekend.
Once again I'd like to thank Yvonne Less for her cover art work, and all my beta readers who have helped me wrangle what is my longest and I think most ambitious book to date. I hope you enjoy it!

For too long, golf has taken for granted its universal appeal: from spanning more generations of active participants than arguably any other sport, to the impact a simple round will have on physical and mental wellbeing.
Until now. Scottish Golf has signed up to support the inaugural Golf and Health Week, a campaign co-ordinated by The R&A to raise awareness of the myriad of benefits of the game to people of all ages and abilities.
This month, we will be helping to shine a light on the impact the sport has on those who take part in various ways, with the purpose of recognising the wider benefits for those regular golfers but also to inspire non-players and lapsed players to get involved.
Sport has always been reluctant to lavish self-praise and golf is no different but it is imperative that we not only remind ourselves of the wider benefits of the game we love but also remind government and the population at large.
For many thousands of people in Scotland, golf is a fabric of everyday family life and through the Golf and Health Week we will showcase the many and varied ways that we improve the lives of those who take part – with a view to a more consistent and proactive approach to communicating the wider benefits of the biggest participation sport in Scotland.
Simply put, golfers live longer and have better overall physical health. Last year, a global consensus amongst leaders in public health, public policy and sport backed golf to tackle physical inactivity and the prevention of illnesses such as heart disease, stroke, diabetes and cancer of the breast and colon.
Previous research has also highlighted that those that play golf live five years longer than those that don't play, while the sport has been shown to have both self-esteem and self-worth benefits.
Whether it is the 1,000-plus calories that are burned during the average of four miles around the course, or simply the social interactions that encourage friendship, golf is unequivocally good for you.
We will be focusing on the mental health benefits, including how golf can help prevent the onset of cognitive decline and, in those who have dementia, reduce the decline in physical and mental activity; and how golf can be used positively in the lives of those who suffer Alzheimer's, whether as a means of exercise or through projects that evoke memories of sufferers' pasts through great golfing triumphs.
We will also be looking at programmes designed to prevent loneliness, especially among the older population, and outline how clubs can play an increasingly important role in promoting fitness, healthy eating and community involvement.
The aim of the week is to collaborate with The R&A, European Tour, PGA, Ladies European Tour and our network of clubs to share inspirational stories and reaffirm that golf as an activity can and should be enjoyed by all.
As someone who has previously spoken about the benefits my life-long love of golf has had at various stages on my own mental health, I am a huge advocate of this important week of awareness.
With less than six months to go until the 2019 Solheim Cup at Gleneagles, we are excited by the return to form of Carly Booth this season, not least since becoming a new ambassador for Women and Girls' golf in Scotland.
One of our key strategic priorities is to grow participation among girls and women and Carly's commitment to making Catriona Matthew's team has been demonstrated by her recent fourth place finish in the Canberra Classic.
It would be an amazing feat for Carly and we look forward to working with her to inspire girls and women to take up the sport.


There's no doubt eating out should be fun, and as sustainable as possible too. Finding out where to go and discovering new places to support, is now easier as the SRA has developed a rating system, and awards restaurants one, two or three stars for their ratings against a wide range of sustainability criteria. So whether you're looking for sustainable seafood. An all-organic menu (and Wine List hopefully!), or menu that's local and seasonal, the Restaurant Directory from the SRA is a useful and enlightening tool.
Have you got a favourite local restaurant that doesn't yet stock organic wines? Just let us know by emailing the name, address and if you know it, a contact name to us here at info@vintageroots.co.uk . If they are not already a member of the SRA, we'll introduce them (it's growing rapidly) to the concept, and if we're successful in helping them become more sustainable by adding some of our organic wines and drinks to their List, we'll reward you and a friend or partner to eat out at the restaurant to the value of £50 from us. Everybody wins! We'll need your details when you make the recommendation to us, and then a receipt from the restaurant when we give you the go-ahead that we've been successful in adding them to our list of restaurants we supply.

Brown Commencement 2017
159 degrees were awarded in undergraduate and graduate level public health disciplines on Sunday May 28 at the 249th Commencement ceremony at Brown University. Members of the audience at the ceremony have supported their children, grandchildren, wives, friends, and family members for years as they worked toward this graduation, but many still weren't sure. What is public health?
[Photo: Dean Terrie Fox Wetle, Credit: Mr. Peter Goldberg]
Dean Terrie Fox Wetle, in her final Commencement address as Dean, talked about public health and what it is like to have a rewarding career in this field. "Simply stated, the goal of public health is to protect and improve the health and well-being of populations through the art and science of preventing disease and promoting population health," she said. "Population health is described as the health outcomes of a group of individuals throughout the lifespan. Thus, population health encompasses the very beginning of life — prenatal, maternal, and child health—to the infectious and chronic diseases of middle age — to the care of our oldest populations."

Whether it's smoking cessation, healthy sexual behaviors, seat belt use, or access to clean drinking water, "the increases in life expectancy over the last 100 years are largely due to public health efforts," she said.
The 2017 Public Health graduates know all about these efforts, and then some. They know how to identify, measure, and compare health outcomes, and how to analyze huge amounts of health data. And they know how to apply this knowledge to the promotion of population health and the prevention of disease. From traumatic brain injury to hepatitis C, from diabetes to HIV, these remarkable graduates, across 11 academic programs, have made their own contributions to increased life expectancy, while acquiring the skills to become public health leaders.

Kitchen Splashback Tiles are available in the market in a variety of attractive designs, which have made the modern kitchen one of its kind. This technology makes the kitchen stand out in terms of style and even in functionality. There are so many tile designs to pick from when it's time to remodel your kitchen.
In the plan of face lifting the kitchen, the choice of tiles is very important as the splashback tiles are known to contribute to the overall décor a kitchen outlook. It's of paramount importance to get the right combinations of both floor tiles and the splashback tiles for the perfect look and ambience of the kitchen.
There are a variety of kitchen splashback tiles to choose from that range from the ceramic, porcelain tiles to glasses. Most of these materials have their own cons and pro, therefore it's always necessary to make an informed choice. In most cases the durability and maintenance of the splashback tiles is a factor of consideration in the choice of tile to use in the kitchen. In most cases most individuals consider tiles that are oil and waterproof an also stain resistant.
The tile color is another major factor of consideration when making the choice of kitchen splashback tiles. It is very important to ensure that the choice of floor tiles, walls an even the counter tops match with the splashback and offers an elegant coordination with each other. The color combination in the modern kitchen tiles should always be different from the normal kitchen decor for an exceptional outlook.
The kitchen splashback tile choice will also be based on the estimated budget and also in the maintenance cost of the tiles. Some of highly recommended titles for persons with a small budget and ease in upkeep are the ceramic tiles that are available in many designs. This kind of kitchen splash back tiles is cheap and easy to maintain, though they are known to be prone to scratches and will require replacement after some time. Other forms of kitchen splashback available are glass tiles though more expensive. Glass tiles can be designed into various unique forms like the mosaic splash backs that appear so attractive in the modern kitchen.
In a case where one is not looking for too much of elegance but just a minimal modern appearance in their kitchen, then the beauty of a stark black with a combination of white tile has no comparison. This style offer you the ability and the uniqueness of a decorate kitchen with lovely an vivid décor which is not too loud.

Band Name Origins:
On the BBC Radio 2 Drivetime Show August 9, 2010, the band explained to the host, Liza Tarbuck, that the name Antebellum comes from when the group were photographing "antebellum" homes. The antebellum architectural style describes the large plantation homes in the American South. "Antebellum" more commonly refers to pre-Civil War America. While photographing the houses one of the group said that there's a great band name in there, and they adopted the Lady Antebellum name shortly after. Submitted by: Robert D. Arndt Jr.
