Over the last month I have been reflecting on what has been an interesting year in housing. After the political debates in 2017, and the tragic events that occurred in June of that year, the housing sector has progressively moved forward in 2018.
There have been a lot of encouraging signs for the sector in 2018, and three areas in particular which I believe have seen the most fundamental change; the reaction from Grenfell; housing availability; and the commercialisation of the sector.
The aftermath of the Grenfell tragedy remains an important factor that will shape the sector for years to come, and rightly so. There have been three investigations of note since the fire. Sir Martin Moore‐Bick's public inquiry continues to hear evidence ranging from building design to the actions of the authorities.
The Equalities & Human Rights Commission established a review, and the government has launched several consultations following Dame Judith Hackitt's review.
The key takeaway from the Hackitt Review is its recommendation of a Joint Competent Authority (JCA) to oversee enforcements, determine clear roles of responsibility for duty holders, and provide more power for regulators to enforce greater penalties for breaches. If imposed, this will have significant implications for developers and building landlords.
The highly anticipated Social Housing Green Paper was published in August, focusing on tenant engagement and consumer issues. From my perspective, the Green Paper covers four key topics: ensuring homes are safe; empowering tenants; making the regulator more consumer-focused; and expanding the supply of home ownership. Of course, the commentary could have been more specific in detail and perhaps more strongly worded, but it's certainly a step change in the right direction.
With tenant engagement increasingly in the spotlight, there has been a significant push for candidates to have a more rounded customer experience background. Property Directors, for instance, need to possess not only a breadth of technical and compliance knowledge, but an understanding of creating a first class customer experience for the tenant, and need to drive this culture throughout the organisation.
A recent study by the Chartered Institute of Housing has shown that, in England, there is a current backlog of four million households with housing needs. With the lack of housing across the UK it was refreshing to see, in September, Theresa May's announcement of £2bn of new funding for housing associations to build homes, with social housing being put at the heart of the nation's priorities. Another important milestone, in July, was the government's agency, Homes England, announcing strategic partnerships across the UK to deliver over 23,500 additional homes. This will be delivered through to March 2022, with Homes England providing £590m of additional funds to assist with the shortage of homes.
In addition, Theresa May also abolished the HRA cap on how much councils can borrow against their housing revenue account. The Office for Budget Responsibility reports that councils will now deliver 9,000 additional homes over the next five years. On the other hand, Savills believes that authorities could release £10bn‐£15bn of extra borrowing capacity, capable of delivering a total of around 100,000 new homes. Either way, this will hopefully transform council house building and increase supply for the undeniable demand for homes.
What has been a richly debated topic in the sector over 2018 is the launch of 'for profit' housing associations, with both Blackstone (SAGE) and Legal & General either buying or setting up their own associations over the past year. This sparked an interesting debate, particularly with the National Housing Federation, which has argued they are not 'housing associations' as they are not re‐investing their surpluses to deliver their social purpose, instead using it for commercial gain.
Housing associations have arguably become more commercially savvy over the course of 2018, particularly with the ongoing partnerships of L&Q and Trafford Housing Trust to deliver more homes across the North of England. In addition, more associations – such as Regenda, Riverside and, most notably, Thirteen Group with the acquisition of Gus Robinson Developments at the end of last year – are building their own outright sale homes.
There has been a significant push for candidates from a housebuilding background to move across to the housing sector, to cope with the ambitious build programmes set by associations across the UK.
associations maintain the relationship between building new homes and supporting their existing tenant base.

The Defense Department has chosen Viisage Inc., Littleton, Mass., to supply equipment and services for producing smart IDs as part of the department's Common Access Card program. The deal is worth up to $10 million, the company said.
Under the contract, Viisage will supply 1,700 printers, consumables and services to the Defense Manpower Data Center for printing secure IDs through the agency's Real-time Automated Personnel Identification System.
Ashburn, Va.-based Telos Corp. holds the contract to support the overall CAC infrastructure. The CAC program has approximately 4 million users throughout the Defense Department.
"Selection of this highly secure, counterfeit-resistant solution by the Department of Defense has the potential to significantly improve the Common Access Card credential," said Rep. Tom Davis, (R-Va.), chairman of the House Committee on Government Reform.
Viisage's deal with the Defense Department is the first major offspring of the company's February acquisition of Arlington, Va.-based Trans Digital Technologies Corp. TDT has a long history of supplying ID solutions to government. In 2003, TDT won a five-year contract valued at up to $65 million from State Department for passport production systems.
Bernard Bailey, Viisage president and chief executive officer, said the TDT acquisition and the CAC program win give the company a significant foothold in the government market.
The CAC program uses smart card technology to hold critical identification information about Defense Department personnel and contractors and control access to facilities. The cards also serve as the authentication tokens for the department's public key infrastructure, which controls access to computer systems.


Q: Why the change from old concepts to new?
A: Previous signaling was based on TVI action in the buy zones and sell zones of the securities themselves, without regard to where the stock market was in terms of overbought or oversold. Backtesting proved that this concept was too risky. With the old concepts, the buy lists were quite lengthy and backtesting proved that half of them or more could end up losing money. That was unacceptable. Using the new concepts, the buy lists are much shorter and backtesting proves that very few of them end up losing money. There are many more opportunities for investors who go with the flow than for those who try to go against it.
Q: Is there phone or email support?
Q: Will it run on a Mac?
Q: Do I have to update the stock quotes every day?
A: No, VistaTrades will back fill if you miss a day, a week, even years. Just keep in mind that if you update quotes while the market is still open, those prices will be locked in as end of day prices unless you do another update after the market closes and before it opens on the next trading day.
Q: Will it track Mutual Funds or penny stocks?
A: Yes, but you'll have to enter those symbols yourself using the finance.yahoo.com syntax.
Q: What about global stock exchanges?
A: VistaTrades comes preloaded with historical data for these exchanges: NASDAQ, NYSE, NYSEMKT, NYSEARCA and BATS. You can add symbols from pretty much any exchange in the world provided you use the finance.yahoo.com format.
Q: What about Stock Options?
A: You can use VistaTrades to determine when to buy or sell stock options based on the signals generated from the underlying stock. Your stock option trades will be tracked if you enter them into the "Actual Transactions" feature of the software. VistaTrades cannot look up historical options prices.
Q: What's in the AllStocks Folder?
A: The AllStocks folder initially contains a vetted list of about 700 symbols from these stock exchanges: NASDAQ, NYSE, NYSEMKT, NYSEARCA and BATS. Downloaded historical data is stored in the AllStocks folder. When you do an "Update Quotes" on any folder other than the AllStocks folder, all symbols in that folder are added to the AllStocks folder. Use the "Manage Files" button to remove unwanted groups of symbols from the AllStocks folder.
Q: Why doesn't VistaTrades tell me to sell at a loss?
A: The software can't read the news, so it doesn't know why the stock price is falling. VistaTrades assumes the price will recover, so it recommends you buy more when the price is lower and another buy signal appears. VistaTrades will notify you what the drawdown is. It is up to you to determine whether or not you think the stock will recover, and at what point you should sell at a loss.
Q: Why are all the historical buys made the day after the signals instead of the day of the signals?
A: VistaTrades was designed for people who have regular working hour jobs to evaluate the end of day signals and place trades after the market has closed and before it opens the next day. You however, can look at the signals while the market is open and place trades immediately.
Q: Why won't my stock symbol download?
A: All of the stock quote information comes from www.alphavantage.co. Since Alpha Vantage uses Yahoo financial syntax, if you enter your symbol or company name in the Quotes box on www.finance.yahoo.com, you will be given the proper syntax for the symbol. Use the correct symbol in VistaTrades.
Q: What should I do if the stock splits?
A: The most important thing to do is reload the entire history for the stock to allow the TriVista Indicator to be valid. Do this by clicking "Manage Files" followed by "Redownload ALL History for One Stock". The correct prices are usually in place the trading day after the split. The "Add or Edit a Transaction" button will allow you to enter the split for tracking your shares. Sometimes the historical data will NOT have the split adjusted. You'll see this when the charts have huge price jumps, the historical performance numbers are ridiculous, or the symbol is in italics in the screener table. At present, there is no fix for this.
Q: What about stocks I already own?
A: If your symbol is in the AllStocks Folder, enter all of your past transactions into VistaTrades. After that you can use the TriVista Signals to determine when to sell or buy more shares. Any action that should be taken will show up in the "Suggested Orders for Mystocks" table.
Q: Should I sell ALL of my shares on the sell signal?
A: Not necessarily. If you really like a stock, sell a portion of your shares, keep the proceeds aside and buy back in on the next buy signal.
Q: My system shows a signal, but my friends' doesn't?
A: The historical data is different. If both have the same data from the same starting date, the signals will match exactly.
Q: Can VistaTrades send me a text message when a signal occurs?
A: It has an AutoNotify function that will send emails to your smartphone when certain signals occur. Phone text messaging is not active yet. The emails are sent from you, to you. The email account you send from must be from your account @yahoo.com with no extra security settings.

Red Bull's 2014 F1 car is 'stunning' declares Lewis Hamilton
Glenn Freeman
Mar 2, 2014, 3:58 PM
Lewis Hamilton believes Red Bull has a "stunning car" that will definitely be a frontrunner once the reigning Formula 1 champion team gets its reliability issues under control
While Red Bull has struggled with mechanical problems throughout 2014 pre-season testing, Hamilton's Mercedes team has led the way in terms of mileage and often in terms of pace as well.
But the 2008 world champion does not expect Red Bull to be behind for long, and he was full of praise for the RB10's design.
Hamilton tops final day of Bahrain testing
"They look like they have a stunning car, and usually the more beautiful it is the faster it is so I'm sure they've got a pretty quick car this year," Hamilton said in the Bahrain paddock on Sunday night.
"Once they get the engine sorted, or the systems that they might be struggling with, I think they'll - as always - be very hard to beat.
"Sebastian [Vettel] is the reigning world champion so he's the target for everyone.
"But I know my team is strong so hopefully we'll be able to fight with them."
Hamilton added that the 2014 pre-season was like no other he had experienced, and he warned that there is "a lot more to come" from the Mercedes after he did not get the most out of the super-soft tyre at the end of the day.
Bahrain F1 testing gallery
"It's definitely the weirdest and most difficult pre-season to be able to judge where everyone is," he said.
"There's still things we're learning, things we haven't covered, there's tonnes of stuff.
"So as we go into the race weekend it will be a bit like a test on the Friday. I think there's a lot more to come.
"There will be mistakes through the whole paddock I'm sure, and hopefully we'll make the least."

Big Data-Palantir Technologies, a data-mining company Thiel Founded
Paypal Co-Founder with Elon Musk, "The PayPal Mafia", Palantir Technologies Chairman (Data Analytics), Founders Fund (Tech VC), Surveillance technology and virtual border wall startup with Palmer Luckey, Thiel Capital Management 1990s; Y Combinator adviser 2015-17, Patrick Collison & first investor in Stripe summer 2010, used by the RNC's fundraising site "Revv", with Elon Musk, Box CEO Aaron Levie, Khosla Ventures, Andreessen Horowitz, and Sequoia Capital. TechCrunch
Tech Billionaire (1st VC Facebook investor) Peter Thiel bankrolled the lawsuit defending Hulk Hogan against Gawker's release of a sex tape."Why should I care? Critics have argued that Thiel's money gives other billionaires a blueprint for how to silence media outlets they dislike." Forbes June 21, 2016 Read More on the First Amendment Freedoms page.
Thiel is a supporter of Alt-Right trolls who have enacted "Meme Wars" against Presidential elections in the US, and potentially Europe as well.
Meet Silicon Valley's Secretive Alt-Right Followers Mother Jones Josh Harkinson March 10, 2017 "Silicon Valley billionaire Peter Thiel, who reportedly gave Trump more than $1 million during the campaign and was an adviser on Trump's transition team, has circled neoreactionary ideas. "I no longer believe that freedom and democracy are compatible," he wrote on the Cato Institute's blog in 2009, adding that women and "welfare beneficiaries" have through their voting habits "rendered the notion of 'capitalist democracy' into an oxymoron" (He clarified two weeks later that he supports women's suffrage and redirected blame for the supposed demise of democracy on "unelected technocratic agencies.")Mother Jones
Alt White: How the Breitbart Machine Laundered Racist Hate Buzzfeed Joseph Bernstein October 5, 2017 "[Milo] Yiannopoulos also had a private relationship with the venture capitalist Peter Thiel, though he was more circumspect than some other correspondents. After turning down an appearance on Yiannopoulos's podcast in May 2016 (Thiel: "Let's just get coffee and take things from there"), Thiel invited the Breitbart tech editor for dinner at his Hollywood Hills home in June, a dinner Yiannopoulos boasted of the same night to Bannon: "You two should meet. … An obvious candidate for movie financing if we got external. … He has fucked [Gawker Media founder Nick] Denton & Gawker so many ways it brought a tear to my eye." They made plans to meet during the July Republican National Convention. But much of Yiannopoulos's knowledge of Thiel seemed to come secondhand from other right-wing activists, as well as Curtis Yarvin, the blogger who advocates the return of feudalism. In an email exchange shortly after the election, Yarvin told Yiannopoulos that he had been "coaching Thiel.""Peter needs guidance on politics for sure," Yiannopoulos responded.
"Less than you might think!" Yarvin wrote back. "I watched the election at his house, I think my hangover lasted into Tuesday. He's fully enlightened, just plays it very carefully."Buzzfeed
How the "Alt-Right" Went From the Fringe to the White House Mother Jones March 10, 2017I investigated the role of "alt-techies" in the extremist movement emboldened by Trump. "Thiel is reportedly an investor in Yarvin's cloud computing company, though Yarvin told me that he and Thiel have never discussed neoreaction. Michael Anissimov, another well-known neoreactionary blogger, was formerly the media director of the Machine Intelligence Research Institute, which has received funding from the Thiel Foundation.
While a student at Stanford University in 1987, Thiel founded the conservative Stanford Review to inspire campus debate by "presenting alternative viewpoints." In the 1995 book The Diversity Myth: Multiculturalism and Political Intolerance on Campus, Thiel and former Stanford Review editor-in-chief David O. Sacks argued that multiculturalism at colleges was hurting education. In one bizarre passage, they speculated that some college date-rape cases were actually "seductions that are later regretted"—a comment for which Thiel apologized last October, telling Forbes, "Rape in all forms is a crime. I regret writing passages that have been taken to suggest otherwise."
DeploraBall co-sponsor Jeff Giesea, also a former Stanford Review editor, worked for Thiel Capital Management in the late 1990s. Last year, Giesea partnered with far-right blogger Mike Cernovich on MAGA3X, a digital operation dedicated to waging meme warfare on behalf of Trump's campaign. Enlisting a network of pro-Trump Twitter influencers such as former BuzzFeed employee Anthime Gionet (a.k.a. Baked Alaska) and right-wing troll Jack Posobiec, the group spread Breitbart News contentand memes based on conspiracy theories such as #SpiritCooking and #Pizzagate. The DeploraBall stirred controversy among the alt-right when Giesea and Cernovich decided to remove Gionet from their "featured guests" list after he posted several anti-Semitic tweets. But Giesea told me that he generally agrees with the views of alt-right fellow travelers such as Yiannopoulous. In January, he told BuzzFeed, "I see Trumpism as the only practical and moral path to save Western civilization from itself." Mother Jones

Oculus Founder/alt-right troll Palmer Luckey teaming up with Peter Thiel to build surveillance tech BoingBoing CORY DOCTOROW June 5, 2017 "Palmer Luckey, the guy who founded Oculus, sold it to Facebook, and then used the money to fund racist, far-right meme creation in the 2016 election cycle is now running a Peter-Thiel-backed startup to build surveillance technology that could be part of Donald Trump's border wall.
Peter Thiel is the Donald Trump advisor who secretly funded the litigation campaign that destroyed Gawker, secretly bought citizenship in New Zealand, and openly says that democracy is not compatible with freedom and that giving women votes made America hostile to capitalism.
As as he sees it, according to those familiar with the plan, the technology can be used for many kinds of perimeter security, including military bases and stadium events, where it could be used to detect drones. Software would help the system figure out which objects to ignore, like birds and coyotes.
Those familiar with the plan say Mr. Luckey believes his system, which can be mounted on telephone poles, can be built far more cost effectively than Mr. Trump's proposed wall on the Mexican border — and with fewer obstacles from landowners.
The company, which is based in Southern California and has a warehouse there, is being self-financed by Mr. Luckey for now. He has hired a handful of people, including Christopher Dycus, who recently left Oculus and was the company's first employee. Eventually, he wants to explore new applications of other technologies including drones, Mr. Luckey has told people.
Mr. Thiel's investment firm, Founders Fund, plans to invest in it, according to people with knowledge of its plans. They said the firm sees Mr. Luckey's venture in the mold of Palantir Technologies, a data-mining company co-founded by Mr. Thiel, which serves a wide range of clients, including intelligence agencies. A spokeswoman for Founders Fund declined to comment."
Oculus Founder Plots a Comeback With a Virtual Border Wall NY Times June 4, 2017
Palantir Technologies, Silicon Valley's most secretive start-up, raises $880M CNBC December 24, 2015 "The 12-year-old start-up uses so-called big data – massive data sets that can be analyzed by computers to reveal trends and hopefully lead to better decision-making – and applies it to areas ranging from defense to fraud. Adam Jeffery | CNBC
Peter Thiel, co-founder of PayPal and Palantir.
It is considered one of the most secretive Silicon Valley companies, with clients including the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). The company was rumored to have helped provide the data that led to the killing of Osama bin Laden, although this has never been confirmed.
CNBC has reached out to Palantir to ask what it intends to do with the money raised but is yet to receive a reply.
It is likely that the money will be spent on further developing its technology.
Morgan Stanley and S F Sentry Securities were brokers on the fundraising deal and earned themselves $32 million in commissions, according to the SEC filing. Backers include In-Q-Tel, a not-for-profit venture capital firm that invests in technology companies in order to support U.S. intelligence agencies, and Founders Fund.
PayPal co-founder, Peter Thiel, is Palantir's chairman and a partner at Founders Fund, another venture capital firm investing in technology companies."

Neither Thiel nor Y Combinator has responded to the press's request for comment, though Buzzfeed reports that the part-time adviser program that Thiel had been a part of was shut down last year.

Gan in Laamu Atoll is the longest and largest island in Maldives. It is connected with 3 nearby islands with a 18 kilometers long road.
Because of the island size and the road connection with neighbor islands, Gan has a very unique atmoshpere, which is different from the most of the Maldivian islands.
Four connected islands are Fonadhoo, Kadhdhoo, Mandhoo and Gan. There is a domestic airport at Kadhdhoo island which is connected to the Maldives International Airport by a regular flight schedule (5-6 flights every day). The most convenient way to reach Gan is the domestic flight, which takes about 40 minutes.
The islands of the group are connected with a road.
At Mandhoo island there is a big fishing factory, which produces canned tuna. Mandhoo tuna is exported mostly to Europe and Thailand. Tourists are welcome take the excursion to the factory.
In 10 minutes speed boat ride from Gan there is Baresdhoo island, which became famous as the filming location of Star Wars Rogue One in 2016.
There is a small fruit market in Gan where you can buy papaya, banana and coconuts from local citizens.

Geraldine, in the county of Geraldine, is a prosperous little town with a population of about 870 persons. The surrounding district is really beautiful; it is favoured with an abundant water supply, has numerous roads in an excellent state of repair, and, being highly diversified in its nature and set against a background of rugged and picturesque mountains, offers many attractions to the visitor. Geraldine itself is often visited by picnic parties, to whom the chief centre of interest is a small reserve of magnificent native bush, the remnant of a forest which was formerly of considerable extent. Excellent fishing can be obtained in the Waihi river, adjoining the town, and in the many streams and rivers of the neighbourhood. The town is the centre of an extensive and fertile district, and its weekly sales of stock are among the most important in the province. Its founders have made ample provision for the recreation of its inhabitants, in the shape of a beautiful little park-like reserve, containing excellent cricket and tennis grounds, and a fine concrete swimming bath. All the principal religious denominations have churches in the town; there is a fine District High School of 220 pupils, a library with a free reading room, a bank, and a post and telegraph office. Geraldine is about five miles from Orari railway station, connection with which is maintained by coaches which meet every train. The adjacent farming districts are very prosperous, and large crops of oats and wheat are raised at Pleasant Valley, Woodbury, and Hilton. Some of the yields amount to eighty bushels of oats and sixty of wheat, per acre. The downs, which spread towards the mountain ranges, include some of the best sheep country in New Zealand, and are noted for their fattening qualities. The finances of the town are controlled by a Town Board. There is a good water supply, and the leading business places are lighted by acetylene gas.
Mr. Frederick Robert Flatman, Member of the House of Representatives for Geraldine, resides at "Summerlea," about four miles from Geraldine. His farm contains between 900 and 100 acres. Mr. Flatman was born in the county of Suffolk, England, in 1843, and was educated at High House School, Oulton. He was brought up to farming on his father's farm, where he remained until he left for New Zealand in 1862, when he came out by the "Mary Ann," to Lyttelton. Shortly after his arrival he went to South Canterbury, and was on Mr Cox's station for some months. In 1865 he went into business as a storekeeper in Geraldine, and carried on in that line for six months. Afterwards he joined Mr. Robert Taylor in a sawmilling business and in farming, and also had the general store at Woodbury. In 1892 the partnership was dissolved, and Mr. Flatman has since then carried on farming at "Summerlea," where he keeps sheep and grows grain. In 1876 Mr. Flatman was a member of the South Canterbury Board of Works and was for nineteen years without a break a member of the Geraldine Road Board. He was also for eight years a member of the Timaru Harbour Board. He is a Master Mason, and belonged to the first Geraldine lodge. In 1893 he was asked by the electors to stand for the representation of Pareora in Parliament. To this request he acceded, and was elected by a majority of 216 in preference to Mr. A. E. G. Rhodes. In 1896 the alterations in the boundaries of the district led to the name being changed to Geraldine. Mr. Flatman and Mr. Rhodes stood again, and Mr. Flatman was again elected in 1896, by a majority of 211. At the general election held on the 6th of December, 1899, he had two opponents, but was returned by a majority of 1556. His opponent at the general election of November, page 873 1902, was Mr. W. S. Maslin, and the votes were—Flatman, 2275; Maslin, 1303.
Mr. William Stephen Maslin, Geraldine, who represented the Rangitata electorate in Parliament from 1893 to 1896, was born at Brentford, Middlesex, England. He came to New Zealand with his parents in the ship "Maori," and landed at Lyttelton on the 21st of July. 1858. Mr. Maslin, senior, went to Timaru in December of that year, and was followed by his family early in 1859. Mr. Maslin was in the timber and building trade, and was, therefore, connected with many of the earlier erections in Timaru. In 1861 the family removed to Geraldine, where Mr. Maslin, senior, opened a timber yard. Steam was not then applied in the district to cutting timber, and the supply was kept up by from six to eight pairs of hand sawyers. On the 21st of June, 1864, Mr. Maslin, senior, was killed while bricking a well on his property, and left a family of two sons and three daughters. From that date Mr. W. S. Maslin, the eldest of the family, took charge of affairs; and when hand-sawing gave place to steam power, a large general store was added to the business. On the bush being cut out, storekeeping occupied Mr. Maslin's attention, until, in 1883, he sold out his business, which had grown to a large and prosperous one, to Mr. N. Dunlop. Mr. Maslin then continued in business as an auctioneer in Timaru and Geraldine. In 1892 he discontinued his auctioneering, but kept on the land and agency branch of the business. Mr. Maslin farms between five and six hundred acres of land, and commenced farming as early as 1860, when the ploughing was done with bullocks and a single-furrow plough. He grew the first crops in the now-famed grain growing district of Geraldine. In 1872 he was elected a member of the Geraldine school committee, on which he remained for many years, and was chairman for five consecutive years. In conjunction with Mr. Pierpoint he was one of the founders of the Geraldine Town District, and was a member of the Town Board for twelve years, until he entered politics. He was also a member of the licensing committee for many years. In 1893 he was elected a member of the House of Representatives, but did not stand at the next general election. Mr. Maslin was one of the founders of the first Good Templar Lodge in the district, and has always taken a great interest in the cause of temperance. Since 1868 Mr. Maslin has taken an active part in the working of the Methodist Church at Geraldine; and for some years the meetings of the congregation were held in his mother's house. His mother died in 1887. In 1879 Mr. Maslin became a Freemason by joining the Southern Star Lodge No. 619 E.C., and is also a member of the Oddfellows' Lodge. Mr. Maslin was married, in 1873, to Miss Hannah Clough, daughter of the late Mr. M. Clough, of Sandietown, Timaru, and has a family of four sons and four daughters.
Mr. William Postlethwaite, who represented Geraldine in the House of Representatives for 1882–1884, and was at one time the proprietor of the Raukapuka station, was born at Broughton-Furness, Cumberland, England.

She said she was kidnapped and raped in 1984 and believes she could have prevented the assault if she had carried a gun. Now that she does, she fears the anti-gun lobby will try to take it away from her.
"The million misinformed moms ... misuse statistics and tell outright lies. Do they want to put me in jail for exercising my God-given rights?" she asked.

My goal is to create the field SaldoLiquideMiddelen that equals to 29700 for the first row and got the new value to insert in the second row. The third row needs the output of the formula where the second value is the input value. The fourth value is the output of the formula where the third value is the input and so on. How do I change the variable for each row except the first row?


Toddlers live in their own little worlds, full of imagination, wonder, curiosity and fun! They also don't care if you want them to do a particular task, like say...sit still. And be photographed. With loving parents in the frame. I have been photographing this family, who have become wonderful friends, since the little man was four months old. It has been so amazing to watch him grow and learn along the way and to see his sweet little personality get stronger. From the moment he arrived for our session in Kitchener, he was on a mission to run and explore every sight and sound around him. Meanwhile, he resolutely ignored our desire to get some photography done. We tried everything - Barney videos, songs, silly faces, snacks, my junior assistants (my girlies) executed perfect prat falls, all to no avail. We did get a few keepers, but I think we all felt like a three-ring circus by the end! LOL Of course, the little man was completely unfazed by our efforts and continued to merrily search for ducks on the pond. Ah, toddlers. Sweet little balls of stubborn attitude.
We reconvened a week later to try to grab a few more images and had slightly more success and added a bit of variety to the mix. Now I think we may have had even more success if I had been smart enough NOT to select the second location in a row that is beside a river...full of ducks. Alas, toddlerhood is a short phase, full of adventure, exploration, discovery, tantrums and tumbles and just to capture him at this stage is worth ever mud puddle we stepped in and ducks we silently cursed. And he still loved me at the end of it all and was happy to see me the next time we met, so it is going down in the books as an unbridled success!

Feyenoord have taken up the option to extend Gianni Zuiverloon's contract with the club by two extra years. The defender's deal now runs until 2008. At the same time club and player agreed that the Rotterdam-born youngster should finish this season at RKC Waalwijk, where he is currently on loan. The same goes for Benjamin De Ceulaer, who is also on loan to the Waalwijk outfit. The players will talk about their future at the end of the season.
Feyenoord feel that the two youngsters need regular Eredivisie action if they are to mature as hoped. Waalwijk is a great place for that as both De Ceulaer and Zuiverloon are guaranteed regular first-team football in coach Adri Koster's formation. Zuiverloon has already made 16 starts out of a possible 17 for RKC, scoring one goal. De Ceulaer has hit the target five times in 15 games, missing two matches with a hamstring injury.


When beds constituted of sediment particles are submitted to shearing flows, the particles at the surface of the stream-bed are able to move as soon as hydrodynamic forces acting on them exceed a fraction of their apparent weight. Bed-load refers to the sediment in transport that is carried by intermittent contact with the stream-bed by rolling, sliding, and bouncing. This situation occurs in a wide variety of natural phenomena, such as sediment transport in rivers, and in industrial processes, such as problems due to hydrate formation in pipeline that are encountered in oil production and granular transport in food or pharmaceutical industries (Ouriemi, 2007). We propose to use a two-phase model having a Newtonian rheology for the fluid phase and Coulomb friction for the particulate phase. The model equations have been solved numerically in one-dimension and analytically in asymptotic cases. The model results have been compared with experimental data for a bed composed of spherical particles in laminar pipe flows (Ouriemi et al., 2008a). This continuum approach is able to provide an onset of motion for the particle phase and a description of the flow of the mobile granular layer. At some distance from threshold, we obtain the simpler analytical result of the particle flux varying cubically with the Shields number. This algebraic formulation seems quite satisfactory for describing experimental observations of bed-load transport in pipe flows. Based on this particle flux a simple linear stability analysis has been performed to predict the threshold for dune formation. This basic analysis accounts reasonable well for the experimental observations for the small dune formation (Ouriemi et al., 2008b). We are working on the implementation of the two-phase equations in a three dimensional numerical model to study the bed instability. This model will be used for better understanding of the coupling between the granular media and the fluid in terms of the bed instability.

Q: Sessions in cloud applications dangerous? We have a django app hosted on heroku. I had a situation:

*

*A user entered an email in a form on page1. If the email existed in
the database he was redirected to Login page otherwise to register
page.

*In the register page the form was filled with the same email
entered on page1 using request.session that was populated previously.

I was told it was dangerous as using sessions is not recommended in cloud applications. Is this notion correct both generally, and under above scenario?

A: "Cloud application" is mainly a commercial buzz word but is, as far as I know not stricly defined. General definition could be "an application with a client on the end-user device, using online servers to do some processing or store somes data". But as a buzz word, in fact nearly all applications nowaday could be called "cloud application" if they use a server.
My point being your question could probably be "are server sessions safe ?".
And in this case the respond is yes, session aren't dangourous by themselves and storing data server side is as safe as your server is.


The most recent Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) crash test results for midsize SUVs are in, and both the 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee and the 2018 Ford Explorer received a "Poor" rating, the lowest possible, in front-end collisions involving the right side of the vehicle. Officially called an "overlap crash," the front end crash tests found that injuries were more likely from collisions occurring at speeds of 40 mph or higher with both cars, specifically to the lower leg and foot for Jeep Grand Cherokee front passengers, and to the high and thigh area for Ford Explorer front seat passengers.
Chicago news outlets are reporting that an ambulance traveling near 28th Avenue and Washington Boulevard in Bellwood, crashed into a building, killing three people including a dialysis patient. The tragedy occurred on Saturday, March 31st and took the lives of Excel Ambulance Service driver, James Wesley, 51, a co-worker, Prentis Williams, 51, and the patient, Larry Marshal Jr., 48, who relied on the private company to get to and from dialysis treatment after he recently underwent a surgery. The driver of the ambulance had been Excel's EMS coordinator for the last decade.
The CDC defines distracted driving as any activity that involves visual, manual or cognitive distraction. In short, distracted driving refers to anything that takes a driver's eyes or mind away from the road or anything that involves removing a driver's hands from the wheel. Finding a song on the radio, checking a phone for directions, texting, talking on the phone, eating, applying makeup, searching for something in the glove compartment, and even talking to a passenger all count as distracted driving. Texting while driving is particularly dangerous because a driver faces all three types of distraction. According to the CDC, in the 5 seconds that it takes to read or send a text, a driver going 55 mph would cover the length of a football field. In 5 seconds, so much can go wrong.
According to 2015 data, the latest results available from the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA), 3,477 people were killed as a result of distracted driving, the most of any year on record. Of those victims, 67% were teenagers aged 16-19.
Driverless Cars: Are They Really Safer?
It sounds like something out of a movie about the future: millions of Americans sitting behind the wheel of a car, talking, texting, eating, reading, working, putting on makeup or doing one of many other activities, besides actually driving the car. Driverless cars, also referred to as robot cars or autonomous vehicles, are already permitted (under restricted conditions and times) to be on roadways in certain states.
The Government Accountability Organization (GAO) recently released a report that zoned in on the limited measures the government has taken to ensure the safety of driverless cars. The report discusses concerns held by many, including the results of a study that showed most Americans don't want to be a passenger in a driverless car, nor do they want to be on the same roads and highways as someone else with this type of vehicle.
With Thanksgiving this week and the holiday season upon us, many will likely be making travel plans to spend time with friends and family. In fact, AAA is reporting that this year will see the most travel for the Thanksgiving holiday since 2007. This will probably mean more cars on the road and more traffic for drivers across the country to contend with as they navigate the roadways later this week. Experts are warning drivers to prepare for the biggest Thanksgiving travel rush in a number of years. Of course, with more traffic comes the possibility of car accidents, as well.
Those planning on traveling this holiday should expect to be on the roadways a little longer, according to a projection by auto club AAA. AAA is anticipating a 4.2 percent increase in travel as compared to last year, with 46.3 million people expected to travel at least 50 miles from their homes during the holiday weekend. If correct, this would be the highest traffic volume reported since the year 2007. Experts are saying that more people are willing and able to travel this year as compared to recent years past due to an improved economy, a larger amount of disposable income, lower gas prices, and overall consumer optimism. With increased consumer confidence, they say, comes an increased desire to travel for the holiday season.
Teen driver fatalities in Illinois are down sharply since 2007, and Illinois Secretary of State Jesse White credits the state's Graduated Driver Licensing program that he championed in 2008 as a key factor.
There were 155 teen driving accident deaths in 2007 and 71 teen driving accident fatalities in 2013, according to Illinois Department of Transportation figures that White cited Oct. 20 for the kickoff of National Teen Driver Safety Week.
Our lawyers have over 25 years of experience helping clients seek compensation for catastrophic injuries suffered because of another party's negligent or reckless actions, and that includes design defects. It's a scary thought to know that there have been 390 million vehicles recalled for design defects since the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act of 1966. That's a pretty massive number, and from it one could certainly infer that there are millions of cars out there that are being poorly made. However, at Levin & Perconti we choose to look at the glass half full; our attorneys see this huge number as a sign that regulatory agencies and automotive companies alike are doing what is right and keeping our nation's drivers safe. Automotive recalls have saved countless lives, and continue to be a crucial cog in the building of company-client trust. Still, in order for these recalls to save lives, people need to remain informed, and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has come up with a plan to help them do just that.
It's a new year; resolutions have been made, and people are looking to the future, wondering what 2015 might have in store. At the very least, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration hopes that key technological advances will bring a year with fewer traffic injuries and deaths. The NHTSA is our country's preeminent automotive regulatory agency, and they are always working on one project or another to improve public safety on the road. At any one time the NHTSA is conducting dozens of research-intensive projects aimed at making our lives safer. According to recent reports, one such venture could yield more than $3 billion in profits for the United States economy, and prevent some 300 fatalities every year.
If you're a parent with a teenager, you know that getting them car insurance will cost you an arm and a leg. That's because young drivers between the ages of fifteen and twenty years old are more likely to be involved in collisions and be killed in traffic accidents than any other demographic. In fact, drivers under the age of twenty are involved in three times as many fatal accidents as all other drivers combined. With that in mind, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has developed a strategy to prevent deaths and injuries among teen drivers.
