"My dream is to see Pathways continue forever with ongoing new curriculum and collaboration between Messiah Lifeways and Landis Homes." — Connie Stauffer was the first chair of the advisory board. She also helped set up the Forward in Faith Endowment in memory of her late husband, Harold Stauffer, to support the operational costs of the Pathways Institute.
"With the new, modern, and enlarged auditorium in the new High Learning & Wellness Center, Pathways will be able to expand its classes and have more efficient educational technologies which should streamline the program over time. Parking options for community persons will also be more inviting and convenient." — Hersh & Norma Leaman served as volunteer hosts for some of the first classes and they continue to serve. Hersh also served on the original advisory board.
We appreciate the partnership with Messiah Lifeways, including the key leadership of Susan Stauffer, and learning from each other. This program has become a community favorite and has broadened connections between Landis Homes and the surrounding community." — Lowell & Ruth Detweiler have enrolled in classes from the first semester onwards. They have both served as class hosts.

Watch out people. Hackers are getting so desperate for victims they actually start to use Facebook to hunt for prey. They spread about groups Facebook charging people on June 2010 or stuff like, "I won't pay a single cent on facebook", "I am against facebook charging", etc.
I've received such requests from other people, inviting me to join the group and via messages. They are all false! It's actually a trap for those who aren't alert on this kind of things.
Clicking on certain elements on the group page will initiate a script that will hack into your computer and gives your computer malware problems. Remove it from your group list and post on your status about it!

Since any news about charging people of using facebook, I didn't buy it all. It's ridiculous. Take a look at Friendster or Myspace, they don't charge people, and so shall Facebook.

Q: Tempo para transições ficarem prontas para execução O problema é que, quando eu atribuo uma transição a um elemento já "pintado" no DOM, ela ainda não está pronta para executar na instrução seguinte.
Vou ilustrar:
Suponhamos que eu tenho a classe "animar" e nessa classe tem uma transição.
.animar {
    transition: all 1s;
}

Caso eu atribua essa classe dinamicamente a um elemento do DOM, por meio de Javascript, e queira já usar a transição na instrução seguinte, eu não posso fazer. Seria assim:
var elemento = document.querySelector('#qualquercoisa');

// Atribuo a classe que contem a transição
elemento.classList.add('animar');

// Modifico o CSS do elemento, mas ele não é animado. O elemento é movido direto, sem nenhuma transição.
elemento.style.marginLeft = '300px';

A forma que funciona:
Para que a transição execute, como é esperado, eu tenho que fazer assim:
 // Continuação do código acima
 setTimeout(function() {
   elemento.style.marginLeft = '600px';
 }, 10);

Ou seja: a transição só é executada se eu der um tempo depois de atribuir a classe, e então, setar as modificações de estilo que eu queira. Seria uma espécia de "tempo para o browser processar".
Eu fiquei encucado com isso, porque, como eu vou saber o tempo necessário para que o browser esteja pronto para executar uma animação naquele elemento? Não é possível que esse seja o jeito mais apropriado de fazer isso.
Alguém poderia apontar alguma solução? Ou melhor: o jeito certo, porque eu cheguei nisso sozinho e tenho quase certeza que está errado... =P
Obrigado.

A: Para verificar quando a animação terminar, adicione addEventListener ao elemento que irá chamar um callback:
var div = document.querySelector('#div')
div.classList.add('animar');
div.style.marginLeft = '300px';
div.addEventListener("webkitTransitionEnd", callBack,false);
div.addEventListener("transitionend", callBack,false);
div.addEventListener("otransitionend", callBack,false);

window.onload = function(){
 var div = document.querySelector('#div')
 div.classList.add('animar');
 div.style.marginLeft = '300px';
 div.addEventListener("webkitTransitionEnd", callBack,false);
 div.addEventListener("transitionend", callBack,false);
 div.addEventListener("otransitionend", callBack,false);
}

function callBack(){
 alert("Fim");
}
.animar {
    transition: all 1s;
}

#div {
 width: 30px;
 height: 30px;
 background: red;
  }

The Darvish Story Stays the Same, Barnette Rehab, Yelich Always Homers at Home, and Other Bullets
April 21, 2019, by Brett Taylor Chicago Cubs
Happy Easter to all of you, however and why-ever you celebrate (or don't). We are doing the Easter egg hunt thing with the kiddos today, the best part of which was The Littlest Girl excitedly squeezing one of her confetti eggs so hard it exploded in a cloud of confetti dust all over all of us. That was nice.
In another world, the Cubs scored 10 runs early yesterday, Yu Darvish didn't get pinch hit for in the 5th because the Cubs aren't hard up for offense (he was at 88 pitches and was cruising at that point), and then he finished six innings and got a nominal quality start. Maybe in that world – mostly entirely out of his control – we say glowing things about how he is continuing to turn that corner. I am far from a Darvish hater, but I'm just not able to say all that this morning. Yes, I'm glad he settled in after the second, and yes, his performance fell into that "gave the Cubs a chance to win." Yes, one of the homers he gave up was a pretty ridiculous piece of hitting on a good pitch. But we just always keep coming back to this place of half apologizing for the results, and I don't really feel like doing it again this morning. Darvish gave up three runs in just five innings of work. That's not good enough. Do better next time.
OK, so, as for the performance itself, Darvish netted a whopping 15 whiffs over his 88 pitches, and that confirms that the "stuff" was as good as it looked yesterday. He just loses the command at random times (reminiscent of Jake Arrieta's post-2015 years), and it's often long enough for him to get all burned up. Primarily, what he loses is his fastball – just 50% strike percentage yesterday.
The last bit of hope I've got on Darvish resuming dominance is that sometimes command is the last thing to come back after arm surgery. The stuff and spin and velocity are good enough to be a dominant starter (few have that starter kit), and maybe the command will keep coming along. Quickly. Maybe. That's the best I've got. I don't know that I'd bet on it at this point, but it would be irrational not to concede that it's possible.

This feels like a fair way to frame where things were yesterday for concerned fans:
Yu Darvish gets booed, Brandon Morrow gets shut down and Tyler Chatwood gets a spot start today at Wrigley. On the $215 million offseason that continues to shadow the Cubs: https://t.co/M1GFPi3upJ
— Patrick Mooney (@PJ_Mooney) April 21, 2019
Let's just hope Tyler Chatwood pitches reasonably well today. Ironically, if *HE* could give you five innings and allow just three runs today, you might just take it with a smile.
Tony Barnette is the next rehabbing pitcher to head to the minor leagues, as he's expected to pitch at AAA Iowa tonight (Mooney). It's easy to forget these injured guys, but, while he's not going to fill Brandon Morrow's shoes, Barnette was very good with the Rangers the last few years when healthy. (Of course, he's coming back from a shoulder issue and is 35, so you can't exactly assume he'll immediately be the guy he was.)
Christian Yelich homered again yesterday – twice. That gives him an absolutely incredible 13 homers in his first 22 games. Even more incredible, all 13 of those homers have come at home. I don't think you have to suggest anything untoward just to note that it's pretty crazy that it's played out like that – SO MANY home runs SO QUICKLY, and every single one of them at home – but it's weird to me that no one seems to be making this point. Even if you didn't think about the possibility of sign-stealing using video signals and relays and what-have-you (stuff MLB has tried to legislate out of the game as recently as this offseason, so it's not like it doesn't happen), it just seems logical that more statistically-inclined people would point out this seeming anomaly. It's weird! There's being comfortable at home, and then there is this. My guess is, if you took a player of Yelich's capabilities, and then calculated the odds that he would hit this many home runs this quickly and all at home by pure chance, the odds would be astronomical.
Sure enough, more than 12 at home like this has happened just once before in the last 70 years, and that was at Coors Field (and he didn't get number 13 until July 9!):
Players whose first 12 Home Runs of a season were all at home
2019 Christian Yelich (1st 12 so far)
1995 Dante Bichette (1st 17)
1990 Kelly Gruber (1st 12)
1989 Don Mattingly (1st 12)
1987 Phil Bradley (1st 12)
1947 Bill Rigney (1st 13)
1943 Mel Ott (*all* 18)
— Christopher Kamka (@ckamka) April 21, 2019
It's a lock that Yelich hits like five homers the next time he comes to Wrigley Field, by the way.
Do the Yankees have any players left:
Boone calls it a "pretty significant strain" of Judge's oblique. Does not give timeline. But it will be a long time #Yankees
— Joel Sherman (@Joelsherman1) April 21, 2019
Hey, Fanatics is 25% off all orders today for Easter with the code BUNNY.
And a cooler camper chair is among the Deals of the Day at Amazon, and that's just awesome.

Home Betting Previews Man City vs Tottenham – Betting Preview
Man City vs Tottenham – Betting Preview
The seventh-round match between Manchester City and Tottenham has been moved to Thursday, and it may be one of the most significant contests of the entire campaign.
City is in a difficult situation, so three points are crucial in this match; otherwise, the title will be decided at London's Emirates Stadium.
The Spurs, meanwhile, are frantically working to forge team chemistry on the field and climb back into the top-four zone, which qualifies them for the UEFA Champions League the following season.
It won't be at all simple given the way they play.
Man City Preview
In addition to gaining three points and maintaining its position in the title race, Manchester City needs to win this game to atone for its loss to Manchester United last Saturday. The Citizens, who had the advantage at Old Trafford but lost in the game's final seconds due to extremely dubious officiating, had a very painful experience.
The Citizens suffered their second straight loss after falling to Southampton, 2-0, at St. Mary's Stadium. The Citizens are already eliminated from consideration for one trophy. To see them give up on winning the EPL title this early would be disastrous.
They must triumph on Thursday because of this.
In terms of overall home performance, they have won eight out of the last ten matches at the Etihad, with one game ending in a draw and one losing. They've also recorded five clean sheets and at least two goals in eight of those games.
Tottenham Preview
The previous weekend saw a difficult loss for Tottenham. They lost the local derby, 0-2 to Arsenal, who earned all three points at the Tottenham Stadium.
Despite the fact that the game was open and there were chances for both teams, Spurs' strikers also had one underwhelming performance. This time, the back line also fell short of expectations, which is kind of expected.
Antonio Conte is in problems for the first time since taking over the Spurs, and he has multiple issues in his team. The most important is the defense, which falls apart at least once during 90 minutes against any opponent.
This is when City exacts revenge for its losses from the previous season. As you can see, Tottenham is in terrible shape, and while City also suffered back-to-back defeats, their game is significantly better and has a system, in contrast to Tottenham's. Also, the Citizens benefit greatly from playing at home!
It is rarely ever the case that City will play at the Etihad and not be the favourites. So, it is that case again where City are the massive favourites! Their market odds against Tottenham stand @ 1.40.
Tottenham, after their disastrous performance against league leaders and rivals Arsenal, are the underdogs in this @ 9.20.
The possibility of a stalemate, and quite frankly points dropped for Man City, stands @ 5.83.
The market expects that this game will have a few goals in it, because Manchester City are such a side which loves to score goals!
Plus, a City vs Tottenham game is always filled with drama and action!
So in this extremely important game for the title race, expect a few goals with Pep's side coming out on top!

We are delighted to announce our contract with the RSPB to design and build pond-dipping facilities at RSPB Scotland Loch Lomond. Earlier this year, Beth Môrafon and James Darke visited the wetlands on site to undertake a site investigation, collect physical and ecological data and discuss the project aspirations with our Client. In consultation with the RSPB, we have developed concept and detailed designs, for which we have now submitted a planning application. Designs include a shelter, dipping platform, interpretation and rain chain features alongside bespoke soft rush, dragonfly and frog lifecycle sculptural features.
The pond-dipping facilities will provide a welcome addition to this RSPB Scotland flagship site, located on the southeast shores of Loch Lomond. The reserve is one of the best areas for wildlife in Scotland. It features a remarkable mix of habitats: woodland and grassland, rich floodplains, swampy mires and fens, all of which provide food and shelter for a wide range of species.
We very much look forward to the next stages of this exciting project.

Yes, but it isn't as easy as it used to be. A family pledge loan is usually the best way.
• You don't need a deposit.
• You can borrow the full purchase price and costs.
• You don't need to pay an LMI premium.
• You can qualify for exceptional interest rate discounts.
With a family pledge loan, the bank accepts a limited guarantee from your parents or relatives, which is secured by a property they own. Given this additional security, most banks are usually happy to lend the full amount.

Advantage Plumbing offers a plethora of utility services to help you. If you are starting new construction for your home or business and need a licensed contractor to install the water line, drain line, or even gas lines we are here to help. From start to finish we can take all the hassle and stresses off of you by insuring these very important utilities are installed properly by codes and having all the correct permits.
The water line coming into your home or business is extremely important in your daily life. If your home or business happens to spring a leak, it could cause a lot of damage to your property. To have the water shut off any longer than absolutely necessary could pose serious health violations for your business. Most leaks start off small and can happen due to metal pipe deterioration. Roots too close can also create breaks in your water lines. Care should always be taken when planting tress and shrubs. Not to plant them closely to the water and drain lines of your home or business. If you notice a pool of water in your yard near where your water line should be located, you should contact the experts at Advantage Plumbing immediately to have the leak located and repaired.
Although we do not install irrigation systems, we do install backflow preventers to your homes irrigation system if needed. Backflow preventers do exactly what the name says, it keeps water from coming up from the ground or from other undesired sources when there is a flow direction change in the maintained water pressure. If this was to happen it could cause contamination in the potable water source. This can happen when there is a water main break or a frozen pipe. We also install Hot Boxes for backflow preventers, to protect them during inclimate weather. To better protect your homes irrigation system we also offer winterization services.
During the inclimate weather it is not uncommon for water lines to freeze. If this happens the frozen water inside the pipes can expand and cause the pipe to actually burst. When it thaws then you will notice the leak. If you turn on the faucet and the water doesn't flow properly, then there is a chance your pipes have froze. Give us a call and we can get your water flowing again.
If you have exposed pipes in the garage, basement, or crawlspace using a space heater to help warm the area can keep the pipes from freezing.
Leaving the faucets running slowly, especially at night will keep them from freezing. This really works!
Gas is an efficient way to heat your home or business. And gas ranges are so wonderful to cook with. From your fireplace to the outside kitchen of your dreams Advantage Plumbing can install all your gas line needs.
If you smell gas, give us a call we will come out, find your leak, and get it repaired quickly.

Maxillary Sinus Morphology: A Radiographic Retrospective Evaluation of the Posterior Superior Alveolar Artery in Caucasian and African-American Subjects
Fontana, John Battista, III; Reynolds, Mark A., D.D.S., Ph.D. (2012)
Maxillary sinus floor augmentation using a lateral window approach is commonly used to increase the alveolar bone available in the edentulous maxilla for dental implant placement. Although this grafting procedure is generally considered safe and predictable, intra-operative complications can involve anatomic variations related to sinus septa and vasculature. Morphologic variations in the maxillary sinus have been documented in Caucasians but not African Americans. The purpose of this retrospective study was to compare the anatomic location and diameter of the posterior superior (PSAA) alveolar artery in African-Americans and Caucasians. Computerized tomographic images of 219 patients (108 African American and 111 Caucasian) permitted radiographic assessment and morphometric comparison of the PSAA. The primary dependent measure was radiographic diameter of the PSAA. Secondary dependent measures included the vertical distance of the PSAA to both the crest of the alveolar ridge and the inferior-most aspect of the maxillary sinus. The association of race and gender to the dependent measures was assessed using an analysis of covariance, adjusting for body mass index. The prevalence of the artery differed significantly between African-Americans (72.2%) and Caucasians (43.2%). Mean artery diameter did not differ significantly between African-Americans and Caucasians (1.29 mm ± 0.05, 1.24 mm ± 0.06, respectively), when adjusted for BMI. Diameter of the PSAA exhibited a significant positive association with BMI (p ≤ 0.05). The mean distance from the PSAA to alveolar crest was significantly lower for Caucasian females than Caucasian males (13.30mm ± 1.15, 17.79mm ± 1.05, respectively), whereas no gender difference was found in African Americans. The more prevalent and potentially larger caliber PSAA in African-Americans and the more inferior position of the artery seen in Caucasians women must be taken into consideration when attempting maxillary sinus floor augmentation via a lateral approach.

Q: How to send alive packet when application in background - IOS? I am working on an voip application, I need to maintain connection with the server always even when application goes background, apple is provding support to use communication socket, my problem is I have a separate server (i.e consider login server) I want to send ack to that sever in every 1 minute, I guess I can't have a two communication socket running for an application in background. In that case how do I send ack?
I have detached a thread from applicationDidEnterBackground it is also going suspend, What is the solution for my problem? Any idea?

A: What you are proposing would be extremely battery intensive (the radio would never get a chance to idle). This would not be allowed in an App Store app.
You need to get info from the server via push notifications.

A: Your application will never be always running in ios. U need to take help from push notification. Even if you use one socket, I dont think you it will run for more than predefined time. All voip app follows push notification in them.
Refer this link
    Declaring Your App's Supported Background Tasks

    Support for some types of background execution must be declared in advance by the app that uses them. An app declares support for a service using its Info.plist file. Add the UIBackgroundModes key to your Info.plist file and set its value to an array containing one or more of the following strings:
 - audio—The app plays audible content to the user while in the
   background. (This content includes streaming audio or video content
   using AirPlay.)
 - location—The app keeps users informed of their location, even while
   it is running in the background.
 - voip—The app provides the ability for the user to make phone calls
   using an Internet connection.
 - newsstand-content—The app is a Newsstand app that downloads and
   processes magazine or newspaper content in the background.
 - external-accessory—The app works with a hardware accessory that needs
   to deliver updates on a regular schedule through the External
   Accessory framework.
 - bluetooth-central—The app works with a Bluetooth accessory that needs
   to deliver updates on a regular schedule through the Core Bluetooth
   framework.
 - bluetooth-peripheral—The app supports Bluetooth communication in
   peripheral mode through the Core Bluetooth framework.

    Each of the preceding values lets the system know that your app should be woken up at appropriate times to respond to relevant events. For example, an app that begins playing music and then moves to the background still needs execution time to fill the audio output buffers. Including the audio key tells the system frameworks that they should continue playing and make the necessary callbacks to the app at appropriate intervals. If the app does not include this key, any audio being played by the app stops when the app moves to the background.

NOTE: Majority of void app works like user send one msg, server sends push notification to receiver, If receiver responds to push notification, msg is handled. Twist comes when user dont respond to push notification. This is handled when app is launched, user app Queries its server for any msg and that msg is then show in app interface. Hope this logic helps you.

CAR REVIEWSMercedes-Benz
Posted by By Jasper 11 Min Read
When deciding to buy a Mercedes car, you might want to consider its reliability rating. A dependable Mercedes model is the one that runs for years without posing any major trouble. Since that doesn't have to hit the workshop most often, it won't cost you an arm and a leg for repairs. The question is, how do we know which are the most reliable Mercedes cars?
Well, for that, we need to consider the dependability ratings of J.D. Power and U.S. News. Both organizations release their rankings every year while taking into account replies from thousands of verified Mercedes owners and the issues they report. The fewer are the issues, the more dependable is the Mercedes model.
The US. News also considers critics' rating, performance, interior, and safety attributes to create their overall USN score. They rate each attribute on a scale of a maximum of 10.

1. 2021 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
2. 2015 Mercedes-Benz GLK
3. 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLA
4. 2022 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
Here are the most reliable Mercedes of 2022 according to the J.D. Power and U.S. News ratings.
USN Overall Score: 8.4/10 | J.D. Power Reliability Rating 81/100
With a J.D. Power reliability score of 81, the 2021 Mercedes-Benz C-Class is one of the most reliable Mercedes cars on this list. Accessible in sedan, coupe, and convertible body styles, you get plenty of choices in the powerplants. The base 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder generates 255 horsepower and 273 pound-feet of torque. The available engine options include:
3.0-liter twin-turbocharged V6 creating 385 horsepower and 384 pound-feet of torque
4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 producing 469 horsepower and 479 pound-feet of torque
4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 yielding 503 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque
The power goes to the rear wheels or optional all wheels via a nine-speed automatic. There are plenty of performance packages to make your C-Class more capable.
Besides its powerful engines, decent fuel efficiency, and smooth ride, the 2021 C-Class gets one of the most luxurious interiors in the class. The standard amenities include synthetic leather upholstery, power-adjustable front seats, heated front seats, a sunroof, a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, dual-zone automatic climate control, and a hands-free power trunk lid. The infotainment system comprises a 10.25-inch display, Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, a Wi-Fi hot spot, Bluetooth, H.D. Radio, and a five-speaker stereo.
Thanks to the standard advanced safety tech encompassing forward collision warning, pedestrian detection, automatic emergency braking, driver attention monitoring, blind-spot monitoring, a rearview camera, and a range of optional safety systems, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration bestowed it with five out of five stars rating. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety honored the Mercedes-Benz C-Class with Top Safety Pick designation.
All the C-Class models come with a four-year/50,000-mile basic warranty.
Before replacing the GLK with the GLC, Mercedes delivered one of their best luxury SUVs, featuring an elegant interior, balanced ride, and robust engine choices with a high dependability score.
Mercedes offered it in two variants – GLK 350 and GLK 250 Bluetech – both having different engines. The base GLK350 has a 3.5-liter V6 with 302 horsepower, while the GLK 250 Bluetech gets a 2.1-liter turbodiesel four-cylinder with 200 horsepower. Both mills pair with a seven-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive. The 4Matic all-wheel drive is optional.
The basic facilities encompass a 5.8-inch infotainment screen, a CD player, a driver drowsiness monitor, remote keyless entry, cruise control system, dual-zone automatic climate control, MB-Tex synthetic leather upholstery, and alloy wheels.
Alternatively, a navigation system, satellite radio, proximity keyless entry, push-button start, leather upholstery, heated front seats, rear-seat DVD players, a panoramic sunroof, a power tailgate, bigger AMG wheels, and a host of active safety systems are optional.
The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety offered the compact luxury SUV its top rating of Good in all collision examinations. Thanks to the rearview camera, blind spot monitoring, lane keep assist, parking sensors, parallel park assist (Parktronic), a 360-degree parking camera, adaptive pivoting headlights, forward collision warning with brake assist (Pre-Safe Brake), and adaptive cruise control (Distronic Plus), the 2015 GLK-Class is still one of the safest SUVs after 7 years of its launch.
Other things that make this GLK SUV highly desirable include EPA-estimated 24 miles per gallon in the metropolis and 32 miles per gallon on the highway fuel economy (for diesel variant), adequate head- and legroom for taller drivers, and passengers, and a towing capacity of up to 3,500 pounds.
Overall USN Score: 7.6/10 | J.D. Power Rating: 80
The 2018 GLA is not only one of the most reliable Mercedes on this list but also earns points for its roomy, supportive seats, responsive handling, excellent fuel efficiency, and sporty AMG edition. For the 2018 model year, Mercedes-Benz added 18-inch alloy wheels, a rearview camera, and a high-definition infotainment display as standard features.
Accessible in two primary trim levels – Mercedes-Benz GLA 250 and the performance-oriented Mercedes-AMG GLA 45 – the base model houses a 208-horsepower turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder, while the AMG model carries a 375-horsepower turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder. The front-wheel-drive is standard, while the all-wheel-drive layout is optional for the base GLA 250 (standard for the AMG model).
With a 24/33 mpg city/highway fuel economy rating, the GLA 250 is one of the most fuel-efficient luxury subcompact SUVs in its class. However, 17.2 cubic feet of cargo room behind the back seats isn't imposing in its segment.
The synthetic leather seats, a power-adjustable driver's seat, a power liftgate, dual-zone automatic climate control, an infotainment system with an 8-inch display, Bluetooth, remote start, a rearview camera, rain-sensing windshield wipers, and automatic emergency braking are typical for the 2018 GLA.
On the other hand, the genuine leather upholstery, panoramic moonroof, LED headlights and taillights, heated front seats, proximity keyless entry, Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, navigation, and a Harman Kardon premium sound system are elective facilities.
The automaker ensured the safety of this posh utility vehicle through a standard rearview camera, forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, a driver drowsiness monitor, and rain-sensing windshield wipers. Those seeking better safety techs can opt for the following amenities:
360-degree parking camera
active parking (Parking Pilot)
Overall USN Score: 8.7/10 J.D. Power: 78
While the new Mercedes E-Class comes with no significant change for the 2022 model year, it didn't need any to remain one of the most reliable Mercedes on this list. The US. News considers it the best luxury midsize car courtesy of its various robust engines, superb ride quality, first-class interior, a comfortable ride, and a host of standard tech facilities.
Mercedes builds the E-class in sedan, coupe, cabriolet (convertible), and wagon body styles to meet the needs of different customers. Every model has different trim levels, mainly varied according to its powerplant.
A turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder generating 255 horsepower and 273 pound-feet of torque is the base engine available for the E350. While it is perfect for daily commutes, we highly recommend opting for the mild-hybrid twin-turbo 3.0-liter inline-six pumping out 362 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque or with 429 horsepower and 384 pound-feet of torque for the AMG E53.
Lastly, the automaker offers the most powerful twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8, generating a mighty 603 horsepower and 627 pound-feet of torque. This mill delivers eye-watering acceleration from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.3 seconds. To individualize your E-Class, Mercedes provides owners with plenty of appearance and performance packages.
The standard infotainment facilities include a 12.3-inch touch screen, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, a touchpad controller, navigation, a FrontBass stereo, H.D. Radio, two USB ports, and Bluetooth. Alternatively, a panoramic roof, wireless device charging, a Wi-Fi hot spot, dual rear-seat USB charge ports, satellite radio, gesture-based infotainment controls, and a 13- or 23-speaker Burmester stereo system are optional equipment.
Other standard amenities encompass remote start, dual-zone automatic climate control, heated and power-adjustable front seats, MB-Tex synthetic leather upholstery, a hands-free trunk lid, and a sunroof.
Mercedes has made sure to equip the new E-class with all the latest safety systems. The features that come optional in most other cars are standard in the new E-Class, starting with a rearview camera, forward collision warning, forward automatic emergency braking, pedestrian detection, blind spot monitoring, crosswind assist, driver drowsiness monitoring, Mercedes Pre-Safe, and Mercedes' Pre-Safe Sound. Besides these, there are plenty of available driver assistance features.
Thanks to these safety features and robust construction, the new 2022 E-Class has received five out of five stars from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the top ranking of Good in all the six collision trials from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.
The German automaker Mercedes-Benz does not only make one of the most luxurious cars on the market but also one of the most dependable ones. A comfortable ride, peppy engines, exquisite interior quality, loads of tech, and safety features make Mercedes cars stand out from the competition.

CWU and Royal Mail finalise UK's first CDC scheme
By Talya Misiri
The Communication Workers Union has endorsed the terms of an agreement on pensions and pay with Royal Mail Group, it has been confirmed.
Following months of talks, the deal, which has been unanimously agreed by the CWU's postal executive, will be recommended to the union's 110,000 postal members in a national ballot.
In a video update to members in January, CWU deputy general secretary postal Terry Pullinger confirmed that the union had reached a "negotiators agreement with Royal Mail Group on all of the issues of concern."
The agreement was then passed on to the Postal Executive, whereby it was assessed in a two-day executive meeting.
The new pension scheme will be the UK's first collective defined contribution pension and will offer a guaranteed cash lump sum. The CDC scheme will be launched subject to necessary legislation.
The Royal Mail defined benefit pension scheme will close, as planned, on 31 March 2018. The firm's cash balance scheme will offer a 13.6 per cent employer contribution and contributions for members of the existing defined contribution scheme will be increased.
In addition, Royal Mail and the members union have agreed on a three-year pay deal and two-hour cut in the working week.
Pullinger said: "This agreement represents the successful outcome of months of talks and is testament to the strength of membership support reflected in the union's huge vote for strike action in October last year. The success of our campaign has delivered a substantial pay rise, a shorter working week and a pioneering new pension scheme that will secure our members' future employment, standard of living and retirement security.
"In the face of the tough challenges Royal Mail faces from gig-economy competitors, unfair regulation and automation, we have reached a settlement that builds a bridge from our current agreements to the future, is progressive and reflects leading-edge solutions in a challenging modern setting. It will also ensure that any future change is managed through a process of evolution not revolution that will protect the interests of all members."
Also commenting on the agreement, Hargreaves Lansdown head of policy Tom McPhail said: "As an employee, if you're going to lose your final salary pension scheme, this is a pretty good way to do it. The ongoing employer contributions at £400 million and 13.6% of salary are very generous compared to the majority of Defined Contribution schemes. For members of the Cash Balance scheme there will still be an element of certainty around their benefits. The plans to launch a CDC scheme will be watched with keen interest by the pensions industry, which has very mixed feelings about the viability of such schemes."

Q: What is behaviour of sql component serve as producer in Camel? I am reading camel-example-sql, it has two routes defined as below:
<!-- route that generate new orders and insert them in the database -->
<route id="generateOrder-route">
  <from uri="timer:foo?period=5s"/>
  <transform>
    <method ref="orderBean" method="generateOrder"/>
  </transform>
  <to uri="sql:{{sql.insertOrder}}"/>
  <log message="Inserted new order ${body[id]}"/>
</route>

<!-- route that process the orders by picking up new rows from the database
     and when done processing then update the row to mark it as processed -->
<route id="processOrder-route">
  <from uri="sql:{{sql.selectOrder}}?consumer.onConsume={{sql.markOrder}}"/>
  <to uri="bean:orderBean?method=processOrder"/>
  <log message="${body}"/>
</route>

I can understand first route, which fires every 5 second. But when does second route be triggered?

A: The 2nd route uses the SQL select statement from {{sql.selectOrder}} to query the database, and if there is a resultset, thean each row becomes a message that is routed. If the resultset is empty then no message is routed.
The 2nd route use a scheduler that runs every every 500 millis (eg the consumer.delay) option.

TOI-500, a four planet system with a peculiar migration process
The inner planet is an Earth analogue with an orbital period of only 13 hours. Against all odds, its ultra-short period orbit can be explained via a "non-violent" migration pathway
A recent study published in the prestigious journal Nature Astronomy announces the discovery of a unique planetary system featuring 4 planets in orbit around the star TOI-500. This is the first system known to host an Earth analogue with a period shorter than 1 day and 3 additional low-mass planets whose architecture can be explained via a non-violent and smooth migration scenario. This process has never been demonstrated to work for such a peculiar planetary system comprising 4 planets. The study entitled "A low-eccentricity migration pathway for a 13-h-period Earth analogue in a four-planet system" is led by Luisa Maria Serrano and Davide Gandolfi of the Physics Department of the University of Turin and involves an international team of researchers, including astronomers from several European countries, the USA, Japan, and Chile, as well as Elisa Goffo and Enrico Bellomo also from the University of Turin.
The inner planet, dubbed TOI-500b, is a so-called ultra-short period (USP) planet, as its orbital period is only 13 hours. It is regarded as an Earth analogue, that is, an Earth-like rocky planet with radius, mass, and density comparable to those of our planet. "In contrast to Earth, though, its proximity to the star makes it so hot (about 1350 °C) that its surface is most likely an immense expanse of lava", says Enrico Bellomo.
TOI-500b was initially identified as a planet candidate by NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), a space telescope designed to look for planets in orbit around nearby bright stars using the transit method. This method measures the minute decrease of the brightness of a star as the planet crosses the stellar disk as seen from the telescope. TOI-500b was subsequently confirmed as a planet thanks to a one-year-long observing campaign carried out by the University of Turin with the HARPS spectrograph at the European Southern Observatory (ESO), as part of a large observing program led by Davide Gandolfi. The analysis of the TESS and HARPS data has provided precise measurements of the mass, radius, and orbital parameters of the inner ultra-short period planet TOI-500b. "The HARPS measurements have also allowed us to detect 3 additional low-mass planets orbiting TOI-500 every 6.6, 26.2, and 61.3 days. TOI-500 is a remarkable planetary system to understand the dynamical fate of planets", says Davide Gandolfi.
The novelty presented by the newly published paper lies in the migration process that led the planetary system to its current configuration. "It is commonly accepted that ultra-short period planets did not form in their current-day orbits, as the innermost regions of their natal protoplanetary disk have inadequate density and temperature to form planets. They must have originated further out and then migrated inwards close to their host star", says Elisa Goffo. Although there is no consensus on the migration process, it is often believed to occur via a violent process, involving planet-planet scattering, which would shrink and excite the orbits of the planets.
In their study the authors show that the planets orbiting TOI-500 may have always been on nearly circular orbits, and then migrated inwards following a so-called secular and quasi-static migration process that lasted about 2 billion years. "This is a quiet migration pattern, in which planets move slowly on orbits closer and closer to their star, without bumping into each other and without exiting their orbits", explains Luisa Maria Serrano.
This paper demonstrates the importance of coupling the discovery of systems hosting USP planets with numerical simulations to test possible migratory processes that may have led the planets to their current orbital configuration. "Acquiring data across a long time baseline makes it possible to unveil the inner architecture of systems similar to TOI-500 and understand how planets have settled into their orbits", conclude Luisa Maria Serrano and Davide Gandolfi.

True prayer is less about asking and begging for things we are attached to than it is about relinquishing our attachments to things, persons and possessions. We, in essence, being the sparks of the divine Effulgence, ought to pray for illumination of our inner selves with the sublime glow of divinity no storm of hardship or turbulence of ups and downs of life could ever quaver the flame of our faith in our divine origin as souls.
"'O' Lord! Please bless us with courage and wisdom so that we could welcome adversities as opportunities to refine our qualities and strengthen our potentials. Today's blows of adversities should sound as messages of a brighter tomorrow…." This would be an ideal prayer to elevate our zeal and optimism and would protect us from becoming weak or coward.
– "Lord, I am here, use me".

How GE used science to make a hot sauce so spicy, it's bottled in jet engine materials
by Natt Garun — in Insider
GE is not typically a name you'd associate with food, but with its big data brisket party back at SXSW 2015 and now a new scientifically-developed hot sauce, the company might soon be more than just an appliance supplier for your household.
The company today launched 10^32 Kelvin, a sauce created in partnership with Thrillist that promises to pack as much heat as humanly possible. Hot sauces' spiciness levels derive from an ingredient called capsaicin (a compound found in chili peppers), and GE has loaded nearly triple the density amount of this scorcher in its hot sauce compared to popular brands like Cholula and Tobasco.
"To measure capsaicin, you can soak peppers in oil and run that oil through a centrifuge machine, which separates the capsaicin-filled oil from other particles," John Nelson, Senior Principal Scientist at GE Global Research, tells us. "By shining a light through the oil extract that's left, you can see how dense the oil has become from the capsaicin. A greater density reflects more capsaicin, which indicates a higher spice level."
Of course, the pepper from which the capsaicin derives is just as important as how much is in the sauce. For 10^32 Kelvin, GE used a combination of Carolina Reaper and Trinidad Moruga Scorpion peppers, which measure in around 1.4 to 2.2 million and 600,000 to 2 million Scoville heat units respectively. For context, a jalapeño pepper typically comes in at around 5,000 Scoville heat units, making it seem like candy in comparison.
To house all this heat, 10^32 Kelvin also comes in a heavy packaging made of Silicon Carbide and Nickel-based Superalloys, or what the company describes as materials used in jet engine manufacturing. GE says storing the sauce in this protective shell helps prevent oxidizing the sauce, and thus preserving the heat and taste.
You won't need much of this to flavor your next recipes.
As a native Thai, I'm fairly used to spicy foods but even GE's hot sauce managed to kick my ass. It starts off spicy to an almost sweet level, but quickly turns into a burn that lingers for a good minute after the initial lick. I was even told, "If you eat too much of it you will end up in the hospital."
Only 1,000 bottles of 10^32 Kelvins were made for purchase and they're already sold out– if you're up for the challenge, you can try snagging a bottle by entering a giveaway.

Thank U for helping us bring in the New Year in such a spirited atmosphere. The New Year's boat tour with the assistance of Bismilla was one of great appreciation. The scenes, props, crowd, food, and beverages made this moment one in which to remember. The crowd was pumped and engaging making the tour extremely exhilarating. I definitely recommend this adventure despite the fireworks in lew of a light show, it was worth the booking. Again thank U Bismilla for your constant contact via my many concerns. Your patience made this tour possible and we thank U.


As gardeners we strive to learn as many plants as possible. We learn by weeding around them, taking photos and notes, and simply working with them. Another fabulous way to learn plants is to draw them.
When we draw a plant we're forced to look at the details. Are the leaves opposite or alternate? Are the leaves simple or complex? What shape are the leaves and how do the veins run through them? How many petals are on the flower? Are the flowers clustered or single? To draw a plant we're forced to study and understand it.
Purchase a pretty sketchbook and draw a different plant each day. By the end of the year you'll have a plethora of plants in your mental collection.

Q: How to use a Counter I'm trying to create a counter controlled while loop. Currently I'm having difficulty getting the counter to increase by 1 for each pass through off the loop.
I set my code to
int numberCounter = 0;  // Numbers 0 through 10.
String head1 = "Number: " + numberCounter;
String head2 = " Multiplied by 2: " + numberCounter * 2;
String head3 = " Multiplied by 10:  " + numberCounter * 10;
int byTwo;     // Stores the number multiplied by 2.
int byTen;     // Stores the number multiplied by 10.
final int NUM_LOOPS = 11; // Constant used to control loop.

     // This is the work done in the housekeeping() method
System.out.println("Numbers 0 through 10 multiplied by 2 and by 10" + "\n");
System.out.println(head1 + head2 + "\n");
System.out.println(head1 + head3 + "\n");
while (numberCounter != 10) numberCounter = numberCounter + 1;

System.out.println(head1 + head2 + "\n");
System.out.println(head1 + head3 + "\n");

but it just reads the 0 value and exits after one pass.
I expect each pass to add one to the counter, but it seems to stay at 0. I say that because the output reads:
Numbers 0 through 10 multiplied by 2 and by 10
Number: 0 Multiplied by 2: 0
Number: 0 Multiplied by 10:  0
Number: 0 Multiplied by 2: 0
Number: 0 Multiplied by 10:  0

A: as mentioned in the comments, make sure your counter variable starts from 0 :
int numberCounter = 0;
while (numberCounter != 10) {
   System.out.println(numberCounter);
   numberCounter = numberCounter + 1; // or numberCounter++;
}

UPDATE
After you posted your full code, it seems clear that you expect that each iteration of your integer would change the value assigned to your Strings, eg head2 & head3. This is wrong. At the point you initialized these String variables your integer was converted to a String inside that variable (since you used string concatenation). To see the effect of the iterated integer, you can add the below println statements inside your loop, eg :
while (numberCounter != 10) {
     numberCounter = numberCounter + 1;
     System.out.println(" Multiplied by 2: " + numberCounter * 2);
     System.out.println(" Multiplied by 10: " + numberCounter * 10);
}

UNICEF Executive Director announces $3 million for Mozambican children affected by global food price increases
MAPUTO, Mozambique, 1 August 2008 – UNICEF Executive Director, Ann. M. Veneman, concluding a 3-day visit to Mozambique, announced $3 million in additional support for UNICEF's nutrition programs in the country.
"An estimated forty-one per cent of children in Mozambique suffer from chronic malnutrition," said Veneman. "These resources will help children and their families who are at high nutritional risk."
Veneman met with the President of the Republic of Mozambique, Armando Guebuza, Prime Minister, Luisa Diogo and senior government officials. They discussed continuing socio-economic progress and current challenges. Mozambique is one of Africa's leading examples of effective post-conflict reconstruction and economic recovery. The country has experienced an 8 percent average annual economic growth in recent years.
The under-5 child mortality rate in Mozambique has been reduced by 42 per cent since 1990. It is one of the few developing countries to experience a significant decline in maternal mortality, putting the country on track to meet the MDG targets on child and maternal mortality.
However, this progress is threatened by rising food prices as well as the AIDS pandemic.
Veneman visited Sofala, a province with one of the highest HIV prevalence rates in the country. While there, she visited a community obstetric care facility and programs for children made vulnerable by AIDS.
About UNICEF:
UNICEF works on the ground in more than 150 developing and transitional countries to help children survive and thrive. The world's largest provider of vaccines for poor countries, UNICEF works to advance the Millennium Development Goals by supporting child health and nutrition, quality basic education for all boys and girls, access to clean water and sanitation, and the protection of children from violence, exploitation and AIDS.
About the UNICEF Executive Director:
Ann M. Veneman assumed the leadership of UNICEF on 1 May 2005, becoming the fifth Executive Director to lead UNICEF in its 60-year history. Prior to joining UNICEF, Veneman served as Secretary of the United States Department of Agriculture.
At UNICEF, Veneman directs a global agency of over 10,000 staff and annual total resources of more than $3 billion, funded entirely by the voluntary contributions of governments, businesses, foundations and individuals. Since assuming the position of Executive Director, she has traveled to more than 40 countries, witnessing firsthand the work of UNICEF, speaking at meetings and conferences, and visiting heads of state or government and other partners.

Home Americas NSA Spying Row: Four Reasons Why The US & Europe May Continue...
NSA Spying Row: Four Reasons Why The US & Europe May Continue To Snoop On Each Other & Still Remain Friends
Prakash Nanda
The US National Security Agency (NSA) spying on the German Chancellor Angela Markel with the help of the Danish Defence Intelligence Service (FE) may occupy the global headlines for few days, but it is unlikely to have any major impact on the relationship between the United States and Europe.
A controversy broke out after Danish public service broadcaster DR revealed on June 1 that FE had helped NSA spy on European politicians including German Chancellor Angela Merkel from 2012 to 2014.
The US spying on the European allies is old news; it was out way back in 2013 and had created a global outcry, thanks to the leaks by former but disgruntled NSA contractor Edward Snowden.
It was disclosed that the NSA had tapped the mobile phone of not only Merkel but also of about 35 world leaders. It also had accessed vast amounts of information about European citizens' communications.
Phone-Tapping Allegations
What is new in the news this time is the help that the FE provided to the NSA in bugging the phones of Markel and other leaders in Sweden, Norway, and France.
This news will generate interest in Europe as not much was known so far about non-English speaking allies collaborating so closely with a US intelligence agency. Otherwise, it is very well-known that British and the US agencies illicitly monitor communications among European governments and businesses, and share that information between themselves.
There is also the "five eyes", a comprehensive spying agreement that links together the signals-intelligence agencies of five major English-speaking countries — the USA, Australia, the UK, Canada, and New Zealand.
However, substantially speaking, the present uproars will be allowed to subside sooner rather than later because "spying in the allies" has been a well-accepted norm in international politics for ages. It is not that America spies on allies, including even Great Britain, its closest ally. Major European powers also spy on America.
The Snowden Saga
All told, when the incidents of the NSA spying were leaked in 2013 by Snowden, the most powerful leader whose phone was monitored was of Merkel. Naturally, it created a lot of hue and cry in Germany where the anti-American sentiment rose very high.
Accordingly, the Bundestag, Germany's Parliament, created an investigative committee to study the NSA's activities. However, its probe reached an anti-climax when it was found out that the BND, Germany's own foreign intelligence agency, had eavesdropped on various US government agencies and diplomatic missions, on fellow European Union members, on humanitarian nongovernmental organizations, and even on the Vatican's mission in Berlin!
This anti-climax made Germany very defensive and the US-German relations were back on rails.
France had also had protested against the US a lot after the 2013 leaks and the-then French President François Holland had demanded the then US President Barak Obama to express his "profound disapproval" of the snooping.
But the French had to be embarrassed later to hear that their own external-intelligence agency, the DGSE, was collaborating with the NSA in gathering "metadata" on the phone calls (such as their direction and duration), e-mails and web-browsing of French citizens.

So much so that Bernard Squarcini, formerly France's counter-intelligence chief, told the French newspaper Le Figaro that he was "amazed by such disconcerting naïveté. You would almost think our politicians don't bother to read the reports they get from the intelligence services." He added: "All countries, even when they co-operate on counter-terrorism, spy on their allies."
Spying On Allies
According to experts, there are plenty of good reasons why allies spy on each other.
One, by spying, one ally protects against a good "friend" simply getting things wrong. For example, the then US President Woodrow Wilson decided to support the allies in World War I, only when the MI6, the British intelligence, thanks to its secret surveillance of a US transatlantic cable, learned of a German plot to win Mexico's allegiance by promising the country a chunk of US territory.
After receiving this alarming news, Wilson nudged the United States towards a declaration of war.
Similarly, it is argued that unless you know vital information about your friend's strength and weakness (political cohesion or lack of it, religious and national groups, terrorist vulnerabilities) you cannot be in real position to make good choices about it.
This is vitally important to guard against double-dealing or betrayal, to protect against allies' vulnerabilities, and to guard against surprise stemming from diverging interests from your friend.
For example, it was because both Britain and the United States spied on one another that the world came to know through the counterintelligence "Venona project", which entailed the decryption of Soviet message traffic during the war, that sensitive documents were being sent to Moscow from the British embassy in Washington.
It may be noted here that before both London and Washington could react, two British double-agents — Donald MacLean and Guy Burgess had fled to the Soviet Union.
Two, US analysts often argue that since American soldiers fight the international wars with forces or states equipped with highly advanced weapons sold to them by third parties, including allies, it is absolutely vital to know how these weapons systems work to defend themselves.
But such information will not come normally from the allies selling these weapons for the understandable reasons of maintaining their competitive advantage and other intellectual properties and data.
The allies will not divulge such intelligence to each other because, although politically friendly, they are still economic competitors (this is equally true in trade issues). In that situation, counterintelligence services are unavoidable.
Three, given the rising phenomena of terrorism, ecological abuse, and drug trafficking, every major power has to collect a diversity of information that can be gathered openly or transparently.
There are also good reasons why the intelligence gathering in these areas has to be performed with great discretion as regular diplomatic channels will not suffice. And this is good for the allies too as they get warned in time by one another.
And four, it is the rising sequence of jihadist attacks in the last two decades all over Europe that has led to closer collaborations among intelligence agencies of the European countries and that of the United States. In that sense, they need each other more, not otherwise.
Viewed thus, notwithstanding the public outcry in the wake of the latest Danish leaks, the solidarity of the western intelligence community will remain strong.
There may be little more control, here and there, of the American agencies on monitoring the foreign leaders that may be imposed by President Biden (he was the Vice President when President Obama did impose some restrictions on the agencies following the leaks by Snowden in 2013), but Europeans are unlikely to press their case too hard. Doing that will undermine the intelligence cooperation that they depend on.

I love fashion as much as I love music, anytime that the two meet my heart clearly skips beats of joy. Every year I look forward to the Victoria's Secret Fashion show and although the lingerie is primarily for the runway, the show always brings amazing musical guests.
This year the execs from the show decided to have newlywed Katy Perry who has had a pretty successful year with the release of her sophomore CD Teenage Dream, accompanying Katy Perry was Akon who performed his new single Angel from his up-coming album titled Stadium.
But, before the angels graced their super skinny and toned bodies down the glittery runway we have to look into how lingerie and music (and fashion) often come hand in hand. During the telecast one can spot several celebrities be front and center for the show but the most notorious ones were Maroon 5's front man Adam Levine who is currently dating VS Angel Anne Vyalitsyna, also in attendance was Caleb Followill from Kings Of Leon, who in September got engaged to another Angel Lily Aldridge. Another honorable mention is Debbie Harry (Blondie) who was spotted walking the pink carpet.
Katy Perry rocked the glittery runway with two pretty awesome performances; the first one was with the single called Firework which she is currently promoting. (I am not a great fan of hers anymore but I am utterly in love with this song.) She dazzled with a faboosh outfit designed by Todd Thomas. For her second performance (which was a mix of Teenage Dream, Hot & Cold and California Gurls.) She wore a yellow latex corset dress also designed by Todd Thomas.
Akon flirted with the angels while performing his new single appropriately titled Angel, during his (Heavenly Bodies segment) performance and it was during this segment that VS Angel Chanel walked down the runway with her desired pair of angel wings.
Another part of the show that I always look forward to is the music that plays during each segment. So, for you my readers I was determined to list the songs featured during the show, ENJOY!

Q: Scons prints licensing error when compiling the code I am getting the following error when I build a C++ source with Scons:

license check failed

I have one C++ project and I have Python script to be used with Scons for building the project. When I run the scons command in the command prompt, the build starts and when the first source file is compiled, I am getting the following errors in the console:

license check failed scons: ***
  [C:\Engine\output\qnx700_screen_arm\core\stdafx.o] Error 1 scons:
  building terminated because of errors.

After that, the compilation terminates. The thing is that I was able to build the project previously using Scons. These errors seem to start happening after I uninstalled Visual Studio but it might not be related. I am thinking of that because I see also the following warning:

scons: warning: No version of Visual Studio compiler found - C/C++
  compilers most likely not set correctly

This is the code of the SConstruct file:
import os
engine_root = os.path.join("..","..","..")

# Hand over the execution to Engine/scripts/build.py
execfile(os.path.join(engine_root, "scripts", "build.py"))

Also known as manic depressive disorder, bipolar disorder is a psychological condition whereby a person suffers from mood swings. An individual who suffers this disorder usually experiences varying moods that range between manic highs to depressive lows. It is an illness of the brain that can lead to swings in the moods, energy and activity levels of the person who is affected. It can significantly impair the ability of the person to engage in day-to-day activities. Bipolar disorder is mostly rampant in youths in their later stages of teenage or early adulthood. However, more than half of the cases usually occur to individuals below the age of 25 years.
There is still uncertainty over the particular cause of bipolar disorder but it is considered to have links to heredity. Most people who are diagnosed with the condition have a history of having been experienced by members of their families. There are also claims that bipolar disorder is caused by the accumulation of Calcium in body cells. However, this is still being investigated. Besides, there are also allegations that it can be caused by life experiences.
There are various phenomena in understanding the dynamics of this health condition like cyclothimia. These are depressive episodes that take place quite often and indicate that a person is likely to develop bipolar disorder. Rapid cycling is also a phenomenon that affects almost a fifth of the patients with bipolar one and two. Its main feature is a recurrence of manic and depressive episodes with variations that are quite significant. However, this phenomenon can also be characterized by changes in behavior.
It should be noted that bipolar disorder not only affects the moods of an individual but also his or her feelings, mind and the ability of an individual to undertake daily activities. The individual basically undergoes psychological pressure as a result of life's experiences or other causes highlighted above.
The symptoms and signs of bipolar disorder can be placed into various groups depending on the changes in an individual's behavior. However, the main symptoms include aggression, anxiety, lack of sexual desire, hopelessness, indifference, lack of sleep among others. On the other hand, those who have attained the mania episode of the condition may also exhibit distraction, low attention and many at times, can be pushed to drug abuse. Despite the bad signs of Bipolar disorder, it can also significantly enhance a person's creativity.
Bipolar disorder is incurable. However, there are certain treatments in the market that can be used to lower the impact of the condition. Such medicines can effectively help in bringing the moods of the patient under control. Most of the drugs used like Lithonate and Lithotabs contain lithium. However, it should be noted that prolonged use of such drugs may have side effects like nausea, weight gain, tremors and hyperthyroidism. It is advisable that we support those with bipolar disorder whenever we can considering that it has no cure but can be controlled.


Here you will find some of the most common questions, however if you cannot find an answer here, please visit ask.monash for more assistance.
Check out our suburb information pages for lots of great information about suburbs that surround each of the Monash campuses.
What is a private rental property?
A private rental property is a house, unit, flat or an apartment block owned by an individual or company (not Monash University).
In most cases, the owners of the rental properties or their appointed real estate agents manage and rent out the properties and they must do so according to the Residential Tenancies Act of Victoria (1997).
The owners do not have any connection with Monash University.
Will I be able to find private accommodation within walking distance of campus?
There are properties located close to most of the Monash campuses. There may however be many students applying for these houses so it is best to also look at suburbs around your campus.
Check out this guide for searching for accommodation, where you can search for properties close to your preferred campus.
How long will it take to find private rental accommodation?
We usually suggest that students allow around 2 to 3 weeks to find suitable rental accommodation, especially in the Central Business District.
the needs and expectations of students.
For further assistance, contact ask.monash.
You can find lots of information about the various types of accommodation available here.
Can MRS give me a rental reference to include with my application?
Monash Residential Services can only give you a rental reference if you have been a resident in one of our student residences.
If you have not been a resident on campus, we recommend you get an Enrolment Verification letter which provides proof of your current enrolment, your student load, and confirms you are in good standing with the University.
You can order a letter in the Web Enrolment System (WES) or by visiting your local Monash Connect.
This letter should be included with your application.
If you are a member of a student club or society, it is also a good idea to ask the President of the club/society to provide a character reference for you.
Note: You must always ask permission before using anyone as your referee.
For approximate rental costs around Melbourne, please see Accommodation Costs webpage.
As a rule, the closer to the Melbourne Central Business District (CBD), the more expensive the rent will be.
Can you give me a list of recommended places to live?
Monash University does not recommend any specific, private, rental accommodation. It does however recommend university owned or managed accommodation.
Can Monash arrange a rental property for me before I arrive?
It is most important that you view any property in the private rental market in person before committing to it as it can be very expensive and difficult to break a lease if it is not what you were expecting.
Is it normal to sign a contract to rent off-campus accommodation?
The majority of landlords will ask you to sign a written tenancy agreement (lease) because it offers both the tenant and the landlord more security.
The law also recognises verbal tenancy agreements, however they can be more difficult to prove if a dispute arises.
For a detailed outline of things to consider when signing a lease, see Starting a Tenancy.
We also recommend you check the Monash University Rent-Smart website for useful information on off-campus accommodation.
A bond is a sum of money (sometimes called a 'security deposit') that you pay to your landlord or their real estate agent at the start of your lease. They then send your bond to the Residential Tenancies Bond Authority where it is held for the duration of your tenancy.
Your bond is then returned to you at the end of your lease after your final inspection, providing there is no damage to the property or room leased.
What is the shortest length of time I can rent for?
Normally a lease agreement is 12 months however some student accommodation providers will offer 6 months or an academic year which is 10 months.
Sometimes you can negotiate a shorter agreement if you are moving into a share house.
See the Monash University Rent-Smart website before you start this process.
What information and documentation should I get when I agree to rent?
2 copies of a completed Condition Report, signed by the landlord or agent.
the landlord's full name, address and telephone numbers and a written statement about whether or not the agent (if the landlord has an agent) can authorise urgent repairs.
if the agent can authorise urgent repairs, the maximum amount they are authorised to spend, and the agent's telephone or fax number for urgent repairs.
A rooming house is a building where one or more rooms are available for rent,and four or more people in total occupy these rooms. You will have your own room, and sometimes your own private bathroom, but you will share the common areas of the house such as kitchen and lounge room.
What should I expect from a rooming house?
The rooming house must be registered on the Public Register of Rooming Houses. This is a legal requirement and if you cannot find your property on this list, we encourage you to contact us immediately.
If you are asked to sign a contract, your obligations as a tenant will be outlined. Please pay particular attention to the terms outlined in the residency agreement. The agreement will confirm how much notice you have to give to break your lease, as well as the rent obligations, and how much bond is required.
Once you pay your bond, it must be registered with the Residential Tenancy Bond Authority (RTBA) and you must receive confirmation of it been sent there within 14 days.
You will be given a Room Condition Report to complete - this must be provided, and completed in full and returned to the landlord with 3 business days. Take extra care to document any issues that are not listed such as stains, or damage to walls.
If you are asked to pay any utility bills like electricity, gas, water or internet, then your landlord must show you the bill so that you can confirm that you are paying the correct amount.
Your landlord must provide you with a receipt for any payment that you have made by cash or cheque. If you pay by bank transfer, this will count as a receipt.
Your landlord must provide you with a copy of Rooming houses: A guide for residents and operators.
Your room must meet the minimum standards as set out in the Residential Tenancy Act. Find out more here.
Your landlord must provide you with the Operator's contact details, a written statement outlining your main rights and duties, a set of house rules, a notice to proposed rooming house resident and a notice outlining the costs of any extra services provided by the operator.
